Is 2017 Our 1984?
Posted by donnamarie on January 30, 2017
John Hurt passed on January 25th and with him a tremendous body of work worth celebrating. "The Elephant Man" (John Merrick), (Kane) "Alien", "Harry Potter" (Garrick Ollivander), (Max) "Midnight Express" and two of his most prophetic roles – (Chancelor Sutler) "V for Vendetta" and as (Winston Smith) – in director Michael Radford's remarkable film, "1984".
John Hurt (Winston Smith)
Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is the British dystopian drama film written for the screen and directed by Michael Radford, based on George Orwell's novel of the same name. Starring John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, and Cyril Cusack, the film follows the life of Winston Smith in Oceania, a country run by a totalitarian government. (Wikipedia)
George Orwell's terrifying vision comes to 2017.
Winston endures a squalid existence under the constant surveillance of the Thought Police. Winston works in a small office cubicle at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history (aka Alternate Facts) in accordance with the dictates of the Party and its supreme figurehead, Big Brother. A man haunted by painful memories and restless desires, Winston is an everyman who keeps a secret diary of his private thoughts, thus creating evidence of his thoughtcrime. (Wikipedia)
As a result of his resistance, Winston is tortured and learns about the state's true purpose, the principles of doublethink — the practice of holding two contradictory thoughts in the mind simultaneously.
Right now our country is rapidly becoming Orwell's vision of a country co-opted by tyranny. From Alternative Facts to out and out lies about events we witness with our own eyes; the parallels are stunning.
Watching and participating in the Women's March and rallies, I'm heartened with the energy of this movement of 21-century change.
If the past is prolog, we already know what lies ahead if we aren't resilient. But, our fate rests in our own hands and we can alter the ending of our "1984″ by fighting back against those who would be Kings and Dictators.
Another brilliant John Hurt performance and cautionary tale "V for Vendetta" stares back at me as truth. Just turn on your television.
Thank you, Sir John for sharing your gifts and revealing truths of the human condition.
Sir John Vincent Hurt (22 January 1940 – 25 January 2017)

Dirty Dancing 30th Anniversary Event!
Sunday, January 29 and Wednesday, February 1
Fathom Events and Lionsgate present a special two-day event, Dirty Dancing 30th Anniversary, in select cinemas nationwide.
Click here for tickets.
I still remember sitting in the theater with my heart beating with anticipation as I reminisced about a time and music that is a flashback to my childhood memories. From the first beat, I knew I was in for a rockin' good time.
Choreographed by Kenny Ortega, "Dirty Dancing"(1987) is a soulful coming of age tale of star-crossed lovers Baby (Jennifer Grey) and Johnny (Patrick Swayze). The film showcases an award-winning dance soundtrack that genuinely represents the spirit of the early 1960's.
Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze
Written by Eleanor Bergstein, and directed by Emile Ardolino, "Dirty Dancing" was originally a low-budget film by a new studio, Great American Films Limited Partnership, and with no major stars (except Broadway legend Jerry Orbach in a supporting role), "Dirty Dancing" became a massive box office hit. As of 2009, it has earned over $214 million worldwide. (Wikipedia)
Dirty Dancing is based in large part on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood: she is the younger daughter of a Jewish doctor from New York, spent summers with her family in the Catskills, participated in "Dirty Dancing" competitions, and was herself nicknamed "Baby" as a girl. (Wikipedia)
Bergstein constructed the character of Johnny based on the stories of Michael Terrace, a dance instructor whom Bergstein met in the Catskills in 1985 while she was researching the story.
Jack Weston (L) Patrick Swayze (R)
"Dirty Dancing" was the first film to sell more than a million copies on home video, and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack created by Jimmy Ienner generated two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including (I've Had) The Time of My Life", which won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song, and a Grammy Award for best duet (Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes) .

Selma – The Struggle Continues…
Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968
Selma is a 2014 American historical drama film directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Paul Webb. It is based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches led by James Bevel, Hosea Williams, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John Lewis. The film stars actors David Oyelowo as King, Tom Wilkinson as President Lyndon B. Johnson, Tim Roth as George Wallace, Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King, and rapper and actor Common as Bevel.
At first, I was skeptical on how this history would be portrayed. I didn't want a melodrama about Bloody Sunday and those on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. But, Director, Ava DuVernay did an incredible job and for me, the film should be included as part of the historical record.
Selma was a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement. In your living room. In your face. The first march took place on March 7, 1965, organized locally by SCLC Director of Direct Action James Bevel, who was directing SCLC's Selma Voting Rights Movement. State troopers and county posse men attacked the unarmed marchers with billy clubs and tear gas after they passed over the county line, and the event became known as Bloody Sunday. Law enforcement beat activist Amelia Boynton unconscious, and the media publicized worldwide a picture of her lying wounded on the bridge.
Selma had four Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Actor, and won for Best Original Song. It was also nominated for Best Picture and won Best Original Song at the 87th Academy Awards.
Whether you know the history or just learning, I consider the film Selma essential viewing for a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. A Movement which we must always remember and never forget as …
The Struggle Continues.
Resistance!
R. I. H.

Without Lying Down – Women of the Golden Age!🎬
The Early Visionaries of American Film
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…Women were the driving force behind Hollywood and the movies. Today we pay homage to the women who broke the glass ceiling and wrote and directed the films that gave birth to the "Golden Age" of cinema and the motion picture industry. Unfortunately, when the men realized the gold mine films were becoming, the women faded away thanks to the Hollywood studio system. Well, as the saying goes, "that's the way they do you."
Frances Marion 1918
Frances Marion was a trailblazer. becoming one of the most powerful screenwriters of the 20th century. With a career that spanned decades, she became the first female to win an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1930 for the prison life film The Big House, starring Robert Montgomery, Wallace Beery and Chester Morris.
Marion's research included visiting San Quentin to experience the atmosphere and lingo of the inmates. The movie gave audiences their first taste of hearing prison doors slam shut, tin cups clanking on mess-hall tables and prisoners' feet shuffling down corridors.
Adding to her accolades, Frances received the Academy Award for Best Story for The Champ in 1932. The tearjerker chronicled the relationship between a washed out boxer (Wallace Beery) and his young son (Jackie Cooper). Marion was credited with writing 300 scripts and producing over 130 films.
Born Marion Benson Owens (November 18, 1888) in San Francisco, California, she worked as a journalist and served overseas as a combat correspondent during World War I. On her return home in 1910, she moved to Los Angeles and was hired as a writing assistant and actress by "Lois Weber Productions", a film company owned and operated by another pioneer female film director Lois Weber.
Lois Weber – Film Director
Frances was quite beautiful and could have continued as an actress but preferred to work behind the camera. She learned screenwriting from Lois Weber and went on to become the highest paid screenwriter, woman or man. Hollywood moguls competed for her stories and stars of the day Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Greta Garbo and Rudolph Valentino brought her characters to life on the screen.
From 1919 – 1939 her star was ascendant, born at the right place and the right time, honing her craft during one of the most liberating eras for women in film.
When Marion met Mary Pickford (actress, producer, screenwriter) they became best friends with Marion writing screen adaptations of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and The Poor Little Rich Girl for Pickford. As a result of the commercial success of "The Poor Little Rich Girl" in 1917 Marion was signed as Pickford's "exclusive writer" at the salary of $50,000 a year, an unprecedented arrangement for that time.
Pickford was the celebrated "America's Sweetheart" and in 1919 together with her swashbuckler actor husband Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., director D.W. Griffith (Birth of a Nation) and "The Tramp" Charlie Chaplin established "United Artists" pictures.
These four were the leading figures in early Hollywood and this was their stand for independence against the powerful studio system. Mary Pickford was also one of the original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Contract Signing 1919
In 1921, Frances Marion directed a film for the first time with Just Around the Corner. That same year, she directed her friend Mary Pickford in one of her own scripts entitled The Love Light. Their relationship was more than just writer and star, they were collaborators and the friendship between Pickford and Marion lasted more than 50 years.
Married four times, Frances Marion had two children with third husband, actor Fred Thomson. This was her longest marriage, lasting from 1919 until Thomson's sudden and tragic death from a Tetanus infection in 1928. Frances' great friend Mary Pickford had introduced them. Frances said it was love at first sight.
Fred Thomson and Frances Marion
For many years she was under contract to MGM Studios, but, independently wealthy, left Hollywood in 1946 to devote more time to writing stage plays and novels. Frances Marion published a memoir Off With Their Heads: A Serio-Comic Tale of Hollywood in 1972.
Frances died on May 12, 1973 leaving a legacy of innovation, independence and inspiration for future aspiring female writers. The documentary, Frances Marion: Without Lying Down," is an insightful profile of her life and achievements in Hollywood.
Mary Pickford and Frances Marion
Narrated by "Pulp Fiction" actress Uma Thurman and Oscar-winner Kathy Bates, who gives voice to the screenwriter's own words taken from her letters, diaries. and memoirs. The documentary also features footage from more than twenty of Marion's movies, with commentary by silent film historian Kevin Brownlow, and film critic Leonard Maltin.
Available for purchase at Amazon.com, I highly recommend checking it out!

65th Anniversary 💃🏽 Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies, and Warner Bros. Entertainment presents a special two-day event, Singin' in the Rain 65th Anniversary, in select cinemas nationwide on Sunday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 18.
This special event also includes exclusive commentary from Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz, who will give insight into this classic film.
"Singin' in the Rain" is on my list as one of the greatest musicals of all time! Funny with incredible dance numbers and a memorable score that will stand for generations.
A previous post on some of my favorite musical moments includes "nails on a chalkboard voice" Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who made Number One.
Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor star in one of the greatest musicals ever filmed. Musician Don Lockwood (Kelly) rises to stardom during Hollywood's silent-movie era–paired with the beautiful, jealous and dumb Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen).
Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kelly
When Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden (Reynolds), Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, audiences laugh when they hear Lockwood speak for the first time–and the studio uses Selden to dub her voice.
Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds
This special 65th Anniversary Screening is a heartfelt dedication to Debbie Reynolds and in sympathy to the tragic loss of her daughter, actress, and writer Carrie Fisher.
Debbie was only 19 when she was cast in this classic but deftly held her own with the likes of legendary hoofers, Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor!
Mary Frances "Debbie" Reynolds (April 1, 1932 – December 28, 2016)
In 2002, on the film's 50th Anniversary, Debbie Reynolds shares her memories on the history and movie magic of "Singin' in the Rain".
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to see "Singin' in the Rain" on the big screen as it was originally shown.

The City in the Sky 🎆 Metropolis (1927)
Posted by donnamarie on January 6, 2017
As a film student at The University of Michigan, I was exposed to the masters of cinema – Chaplin, Murnau, Kubrick, Lang, etc. There, we were challenged to critique and look beyond the surface to the underlying themes. "Metropolis" is supreme in incorporating intriguing layers of sub-texture and sub-plots.
Moloch Machine – (Power for the City)
Austrian director Fritz Lang's German Expressionistic masterpiece helped to develop the science-fiction genre, with innovative imagery from cinematographer Karl Freund, art design by Otto Hunte, Erich Kettelhut, and Karl Vollbrecht and set design by Edgar Ulmer.(set designer for The Phantom of the Opera) It was the last of Lang's silent films. (Filmsite Movie Review)
Friedrich Christian Anton "Fritz" Lang (December 5, 1890 – August 2, 1976)
"Metropolis" was not just some sci-fi flick from the silent era, it's a visually-compelling, allegory set in the dystopic, 21st-century city of Metropolis and represents a brilliant critique of the repercussions of man vs. machine and the brutality of the never-ending class struggle.
Establishing the tone of the film, this statement is presented following the opening credits.
THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART!
"Metropolis" took over 2 years to complete at ten times the budget for the usual Hollywood production of the time and influenced visuals associated with classic films such as; Chaplin's war against the machines in Modern Times (1936), the mechanical hand of Dr. Strangelove in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, Or: (1964), the resemblance between the Maria robot and the droid C-3PO in George Lucas' Star Wars (1977) trilogy of films, and scenes of Los Angeles in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) to name just a few.
Dr. Strangelove
C 3-PO Star Wars
This symbolic tale was written by Lang's wife Thea Von Harbou (from her own novel). Her vision detailed a self-indulgent, futuristic, industrial world built of skyscrapers and bridges incorporating the Art Deco style of the 20s for the 2026 city of Metropolis.
An ultra elite, 1% privileged class of powerful industrialists is juxtaposed with a subterranean environment of the nameless, oppressed and exploited drone-like slave labor class.
Made in Germany during the Weimar Period, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder (Gustav Fröhlich), the wealthy son of the city's ruler, and Maria (Brigitte Helm), a poor worker, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes of their city.
Brigitte Helm – Maria
Gustav Frohlich – Freder
Filming took place in 1925 at a cost of approximately five million Reichsmarks. The art direction draws influence from Bauhaus, Cubist, and Futurist design. (Wikipedia)
Fritz Lang directing the workers
As with all great films, "Metropolis" was influenced by the historical events occurring during its time. Centered around the developing Industrial Revolution and depressed economic times, the film also incorporates the rise of fascism in a pre-Hitler Weimar Republic Germany following World War I.
Another influence of the movie's themes was the rise of the American labor movement and unions during the 1920s due to oppressive working conditions. "Metropolis", like the Progressive, investigative journalists of the day, took on corrupt politicians and the establishment in an effort to make people aware of the contrast of poverty with the upper-crust classes of the opulent Roaring 20s.
I'm a steadfast believer that understanding history is empowering. "Metropolis" tackles the rise of immigration into the US and exploitation of workers at the beginning of the 20th century along with Capitalists exploiting labor. It deals with the conversation of doing what's right versus greed and the power of modern science.
The creation of the evil android Maria (Bridgitte Helm) was an abuse of science but that same knowledge powered the city in the sky and could have been used to enrich the lives of the subterranean slaves.
Describing these themes and comparisons in "Metropolis" is like writing a piece for The Nation magazine today. The similarities are frightening like George Orwell's "1984" or H.G. Well's "The Time Machine". It's incredible to think that a film I critiqued back in the 70's which was made in the 20's is actually unfolding in the year 2016; only 10 years away from the 2026 Art Deco Metropolis city in the sky.
Does art imitate life or life imitate art? I'm not sure, but in our "reality" tv driven news programming, a low information population and the "I don't believe in science" faction, we might as well be living in the dystopian world of "Metropolis".
Lest we forget.
◊
This is a restored version of "Metropolis"
If you've never seen it, I highly recommend this viewing experience. But, lasting 2 1/2 hours, prepare to settle in with an extra large bag of popcorn.

Will 2017 Be Our Groundhog Day⁉
I've always believed that we can't move on to the next level in our life's journey until we learn the lessons we need to understand. In "Groundhog Day", Bill Murray has the fortune or misfortune of repeating and repeating again a day which becomes his own private hell.
Groundhog Day (1993) is a hilarious look inside a day in the life of arrogant Pittsburgh TV weatherman Phil Connor (played by Bill Murray) who, during an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again.
This fantasy-comedy directed by Harold Ramis, stars Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliott. It was written by Ramis and Danny Rubin, based on a story by Rubin.
Andie MacDowell and Bill Murray
After indulging in hedonism and committing suicide numerous times, Phil begins to re-examine his life and priorities in his quest to end the tortuous nightmare of Groundhog's Day.
The film is often considered an allegory of self-improvement, emphasizing that happiness comes from placing the needs of others above one's own selfish desires; definitely, food for thought.
Doing my research I discovered that"Groundhog Day", as an expression, has become shorthand for the concept of spiritual transcendence. As such, the film has become a favorite of some Buddhists who see its themes of selflessness and rebirth as reflections of their own spiritual messages. (Wikipedia)
Once Phil decides to use his knowledge of the day's events to try to better himself and the lives of the townsfolks, over many loops, he learns how to play the piano, sculpt ice, and speak French. He even befriends the relentless, Ned Ryerson, and sets out to avert accidents and disastrous situations that otherwise would have occurred.
If you believe, you might see versions of reincarnation in the storyline and find great significance in the fact that Connors is saved only after he performs "good deeds" and is returned to earth, not heaven, to perform more.
Imagining German philosopher Nietzsche's directive to imagine life—metaphorically or literally—as an endless repetition of events is intriguing. I wonder how would this viewpoint shape our actions?
What would we choose to live out for all eternity?
British Comedy Awards 1993 (Comedy Film)
Saturn Award for Best Actress (Film) (Andie MacDowell)
In June 2008, AFI revealed its "Ten Top Ten"—the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Groundhog Day was acknowledged as the eighth best film in the fantasy genre.
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:
AFI's 100 Years…100 Laughs – #34
AFI's 100 Years…100 Passions – Nominated
AFI's 100 Years…100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) – Nominated
As we journey into 2017, maybe we should take the events of "Groundhog Day" to heart and strive to be more loving and giving in the coming New Year.

Pakistan blocks Facebook over caricatures
By Kamran Haider
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) directed Internet service providers to block Facebook indefinitely on Wednesday because of an online competition to draw the Prophet Mohammad.
The order followed a decision by the Lahore High Court temporarily banning Facebook in Pakistan after the country's media reported that the competition would be held on May 20.
"The court has ordered the government to immediately block Facebook until May 31 because of this blasphemous competition," Azhar Siddique, a representative of the Islamic Lawyers Forum who filed a petition in the Lahore High Court, told Reuters.
"The court has also ordered the foreign ministry to investigate why such a competition is being held."
A spokesman for the PTA, the country's telecommunication watchdog, said the government on Tuesday ordered Internet providers to block only the Facebook page showing these caricatures. But on Wednesday the court ordered the entire Facebook site blocked.
Any representation of the Prophet Mohammad is deemed un-Islamic and blasphemous by Muslims.
By late afternoon, Facebook was unavailable to Pakistan's computer users, although Blackberries and other mobile devices appeared able to access the site.
But some warned the court's response could backfire.
"Blocking the entire website would anger users, especially young adults, because the social networking website is so popular among them and they spend most of their time on it," said the CEO of Nayatel, Wahaj-us-Siraj.
"Basically, our judges aren't technically sound. They have just ordered it, but it should have been done in a better way by just blocking a particular URL or link."
On the Facebook information page for the contest the organizers described it as a "snarky" response to Muslim bloggers who "warned" the creators of the Comedy Central television show "South Park" over a recent depiction of the Prophet in a bear suit.
"We are not trying to slander the average Muslim," the Facebook page creators wrote. "We simply want to show the extremists that threaten to harm people because of their Mohammad depictions that we're not afraid of them. That they can't take away our right to freedom of speech by trying to scare us into silence."
Publications of similar cartoons in Danish newspapers in 2005 sparked deadly protests in Muslim countries. Around 50 people were killed during protests in Muslim countries in 2006 over the cartoons, five of them in Pakistan.
Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Denmark's embassy in Islamabad in 2008, killing six people, saying it was in revenge for publication of caricatures.
Pakistan also blocked the popular video sharing site YouTube in 2007 for about a year for what it called un-Islamic videos.

Publisher Fights Corruption in Ala.
JENNA HALVATGISApril 17, 1998
LINDEN, Ala. (AP) _ Only a street separates the offices of the Marengo County sheriff and the county's weekly newspaper.
Through the window of The Democrat-Reporter, publisher Goodloe Sutton could watch Sheriff Roger Davis come and go, at times giving him a wave. But not everything was friendly between the two.
For almost four years, Sutton published story after story detailing apparent corruption by Davis and his department, drawing the wrath of local law enforcement officials.
But Sutton, who has run the rural weekly since 1964, and his star reporter _ his wife, Jean _ eventually prevailed.
The Suttons' constant disclosures, noticed by a federal prosecutor, led to the arrest and conviction of Davis and two of his seven deputies, as well as the largest federal drug bust in southern Alabama.
During a week where the top prizes in journalism _ the Pulitzers _ were awarded for the 82nd year, Sutton said of his work: ``the greatest honor is what the people of this county think.″
Among Sutton's reports was that Davis, a former state trooper who took office in 1991, used department funds to buy a truck for his daughter. Davis repaid the money, but claimed Sutton was telling lies.
Then Sutton forced Davis to repay $700 by reporting the sheriff had been cashing checks from a mental health center that were meant for the department. Davis couldn't deny it because Sutton ran copies of every single check _ made payable to Davis _ across the front page of the newspaper.
Another story, supported by a copy of the department's ledger blown up across the front page, led to an audit that forced Davis to repay $5,000 to the county.
Finally, people started to believe ``ol' Goodloe,″ as many call him. But Marengo County is so small _ the population is less than 12,000 _ that very few people even today seem willing to stick up for him publicly out of fear of reprisals from those who support Davis.
Threats against the Suttons began after he started running the stories. Sutton said the sheriff ``started telling anyone who would listen that my oldest son was involved in drugs, my wife was having affairs and I was drunk all the time.″
One of Davis' deputies, Wilmer ``Sonny″ Breckenridge _ Marengo County's chief drug enforcement officer _ threatened to plant drugs in Sutton's home, according to Sutton. The couple was randomly pulled over and harassed, as was their oldest son.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Sutton, his articles had caught the eye of Assistant U.S. Attorney E.T. Rolison, whose mother received the Democrat-Reporter and showed him what Sutton was reporting.
``Goodloe was taking a lot of heat for the things he was writing, and he was the only one hanging out on the deal,″ Rolison said. ``That's when I started making some calls, saying this guy Goodloe Sutton was making a case for us.″
An undercover investigation was launched into the Marengo County Sheriff's Department, but no one could tell Sutton.
``It was safer for Goodloe if he didn't know there was an investigation,″ Rolison said. ``Besides, at the rate he was going, he was giving us an entire historical accounting each week in the paper.″
The investigation eventually spread into neighboring Perry County, where Breckenridge and Marengo Deputy Robert Pickens, both 27, were accused of protecting drug dealers.
Last May, Breckenridge and Pickens were arrested with 68 others in a drug raid.
Pickens eventually pleaded guilty and testified against Breckenridge in exchange for a lighter sentence. Breckenridge was sentenced to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole.
Davis, the sheriff, pleaded guilty last September to extortion and was sentenced to 27 months in prison. Last December, he pleaded guilty to state charges of failing to pay state income taxes and soliciting a bribe and received a second 27-month prison term.
``Once Roger Davis was arrested, I knew it was finally over,″ Sutton said. ``I was never scared, not one single minute, because I was doing the right thing.″

Q: parseLong Numberformat exception 7.7 I'm retrieving a number from EditText:
long org=0;
String EnteredOrgAmount=amount.getText().toString();

if(!EnteredOrgAmount.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
    org=Long.parseLong(EnteredOrgAmount);
}

This works fine, until I enter 7.7 for example, the I get a numberFormatException. I can't use the comma, since I declared the EditText in XML as:  android:inputType="numberDecimal"
Is there a way to work around this issue?

A: Instead of parsing in Long parse in Double and if you have need only long value then parse in double and store in long value
double org=0;
String EnteredOrgAmount=amount.getText().toString();

if(!EnteredOrgAmount.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
    org=Double.parseDouble(EnteredOrgAmount);
}

For long just declare org as long instead of double
long org=0;
String EnteredOrgAmount=amount.getText().toString();

if(!EnteredOrgAmount.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
    org=(long)Double.parseDouble(EnteredOrgAmount);
}

Q: Investigating properties of complements of paths Take the first $n$ natural numbers. Construct a vertex-labeled graph with a vertex for each number. Now, connect any two vertices $a,b$ with an edge iff $a \pm 1 \neq b$.
As Perry Iverson pointed out, these graphs are complements of paths on $n$ vertices.

I computed some graphs.
4 vertices, 3 edges; 5 vertices, 6 edges; 6 vertices, 10 edges

I am interested in how the number of edges grows.
Any help is appreciated as always.

A: A vertex labeled $i$, where $i$ is different from $1$ and $n$ is adjacent to all other vertices except $i-1$ and $i+1$, so it has degree $n-3$. The vertices labeled $1$ and $n$ are adjacent to all but one other vertex, so they have degree $n-2$. This means the total number of edges is:
$$\frac{1}{2}((n-2)(n-3) + 2(n-2)) = \frac{(n-1)(n-2)}{2}$$
Another way to think of this is that your graph is the complement of a path on $n$ vertices. So the total number of edges must be:
$$\binom{n}{2} - (n-1) = \frac{n(n-1)}{2} - (n-1) = \frac{(n-1)(n-2)}{2}$$

Money is a good thing but it can cause families a lot of stress and it doesn't have to. While you might think I am in the business of investments, I am actually in the business of people; I focus on families, holistic wealth planning, and using money to create joy.

My wife Jan and I actively support and serve several youth and community charities as nearby as downtown and as far away as Haiti and Africa. We love travelling, music, art and sports, but family is my number one priority. We are especially blessed to have grandchildren with whom we love spending time.
As a six-year old, my life's purpose was to be a fighter pilot but my life's path was actually defined by my paper route. I started selling papers when I was seven, and by the time I was ten, I had earned the title, "Paperboy of the Year". I saved up my pennies, so to speak, and invested in my first GIC when I was in grade 5. Little did I know that would be a critical turning point in my life – I became fascinated that my money could make money! When I realized at 18 that becoming a fighter pilot likely wasn't possible, I pivoted my career focus to tax and investments and I've never looked back.


There weren't many, it has to be said. There are a few primroses out on this fine afternoon, and one or two celandines – and in the last few yards, some lambs enjoying the sunshine. It was good to be out despite the cold air, though spring isn't quite here yet, I think.

Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. Trim the fillets so that they are the same size and thickness. Set 4 of the fillets skin-side up (where the skin used to be) on a paper towel and spread each with 1 tablespoon shrimp paste; you want a nice thick layer evenly covering the fillet. Top each with a second fillet, (former) skin-side down. Refrigerate to allow the shrimp paste to set and kind of "glue" the fillets together, about 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 325 F. Or heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 325 F. This frying temperature is lower than normal to allow the heat to reach the filling before the outside burns.
Line a baking sheet with a cooking rack. Season the cornmeal with salt.
Bread the fish using the 3-step fry prep with the flour, eggs and seasoned cornmeal. Fry the fish until it's golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. If you are pan-frying, fry for 4 to 5 minutes, flip over and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Transfer the fish to a rack to drain.
To serve, use a thin-bladed knife to cut each fish bundle in half cross-wise. Spoon a pool of avocado puree onto the center of each serving plate and stand the two halves cut-side up on the puree.
Fit a mixer with the whisk attachment and add the egg whites to the mixer bowl. Beat on low speed until frothy, then crank it up to high and beat until soft peaks form when the whisk is lifted.
Fit a food processor with the metal blade and add the shrimp to the work bowl. Pulse about 6 times, or just until the mixture is nearly smooth. Add the egg whites, herbs and a pinch of salt. Pulse to a smooth paste, about five 5-second pulses. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. This is best used the day it is made.
To make the sweet herb blend, gather together equal parts fresh celery leaves, parsley leaves, tarragon, and thyme (stems removed). Mince and go.
Cut the avocado in half from the north pole to the south pole and remove the pit. Cut the flesh into small chunks and transfer to a mini chopper or small food processor with about 1 tablespoon lime juice, the water and the salt. Puree until smooth, about 30 seconds. Press the puree through a fine-mesh strainer to make it even more velvety. Cover and refrigerate. If you are making and storing the puree overnight, squeeze some more lime juice over the surface of the puree before covering it so that it won't turn dark.


Ambition can be a good and a bad thing for entrepreneurs.
As Godpreneurs, is it possible to be ambitious in our business ventures and still have our identity and self-worth come from God?
Becuase we're Godpreneurs, we don't follow the worldview that we have to make a name for ourselves and accumulate fame and fortune.
Godpreneurs replace these improper ambitions with motivations to work to glorify God and serve others through our businesses.

ARQUA' PETRARCA
NATURE AND SPORT
Arquà has very ancient origins, as archeological finds, dated back to the Bronze Age – the period before the Atestinian civilization – witness. Pile-dwellings, huts, crockery made of baked clay, animal's bones, and flint tools are the proof of human settlements around the Lago della Costa. A necropolis has been found at the slopes of Monte Ricco, with several tools and weapons belonging to the Euganean population, present in the area before the colonization of the Roman Empire. All these finds can be seen at the Archeological National Museum Atestino, which is only 7 km far, in Este. In fact, during the Augusto's era, Arquà belonged to the 10th legio, one of the different regions into which Italy was subdivide, together with the Venetian lands.
During the Middle Ages, Augusto Romano lived in a castle built in one of the hills, which was later called The Castle. The first reference to the castle dated 985. After that, during the Comuni period, Arquà was a pedestrian seat of the Carraresi, the Lords of Padua. Churchmen, monks and nobles formed strict alliances, because of the possession of feuds in the territory. In the second half of the 14th century, the entire area was ruled by the Lord of Padua himself, Francesco I da Carrara, called "il Vecchio". He was supported by the bishop, who was one of the most important land owner of the Empire. During the 15th and the 16th century, the nobles coming from Venice and Padua built magnificent villas in Arquà Petrarca: living where Petrarca had lived was the trend of the time. After this fashion, the houses of Contarini, Badoer, Cavalli, Pisani, Capodivacca, Sanbonifacio, Santorini, Borromeo, Dottori, Oddo and Zabarella remained as symbols of a wonderful past. At the end of the Carraresi domination, Arquà became a Vicaria and it kept this status even after the 1405, when the Republic of Venice took the control of the area. At that time, Arquà ruled all the most important villages of the Euganean Hills. After the end of the Venetian Republic, Arquà started to lose its importance. When in the 1866, Veneto was annexed to Italy, Arquà became an autonomous village. In the 1874 the famous poet Giosuè Carducci held the official speech for the celebration of the 5th Centenary of Petrarca's death, mentioned above. The latest Centenary celebration took place the 19th July 1974, with a commemoration of Petrarca of Riccardo Bacchelli, one of the most important man of letters of the time.
Francesco Petrarca was born in Arezzo in 1304. In 1311, he moved with his family to France, in Avignon, where the Papacy was located at that time. His father, expelled from Florence, hoped to find there an accommodation. The family settled in Carpentras and the young Francesco started to study grammar and rhetoric. Trying to obey to his father's will, he then moved to Montpellier and began the studies of Law. For this reason, he came back to Italy in 1320 and he went to Bologna with his brother Gherardo.
In 1326, he definitely gave up with the Law career and he returned to Avignon, where he took the minor orders and entered the Court. It is on the 6th of April of the same year that in Santa Chiara Church, he saw Laura for the first time. This noble woman, loved by Petrarca for the rest of his life, had been the poet's inspiration to compose Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, known as Il Canzoniere, the symbol of his spiritual life.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday issued a new draft guidance detailing its approach to determining whether advisory committee members can participate in decisions when the appearance of a conflict might signal an actual conflict of interest.
FDA maintains around 50 advisory committees, comprised of experts from outside the agency, to weigh in on specific scientific and medical issues. These committees are typically convened when FDA wants input on a new drug or medical device, or when the agency is looking into a specific safety or labeling issue for an approved product.
Under federal regulations (5 CFR § 2635.502), government employees are required to recuse themselves from decisions on matters where there is a conflict of interest, or even the appearance of one. While most FDA advisory committee members are not regular government employees (RGEs), most are appointed as special government employees (SGEs), and are thus subject to Section 502.
However, some advisory committee members, such as industry representatives, are not subject to the conflict of interest rules, as they are expected to "provide the point of view of the industry they represent."
To comply with Section 502, FDA says it screens its advisory committee member's financial interests to determine if they must recuse themselves. Then, FDA says it looks for "appearance issues," or "other interests and relationships that do not create a recusal obligation … but may create the appearance that a member lacks impartiality."
As such, government employees, both regular and special, "must take appropriate steps to avoid even an appearance of violating these ethical principles," FDA writes.
While FDA has issued guidance on its process for evaluating advisory committee members for clear conflicts of interest, this is the first time the agency has detailed its approach to determining appearance issues.
However, under the conflict of interest regulations, FDA and other government agencies have the ability to authorize an individual with an appearance issue to participate in a particular matter.
For FDA, the decision to authorize a committee member with an appearance issue is based on whether or not "the interest of the Government in the member's participation outweighs the concern that a reasonable person may question the integrity of the agency's programs and operations."
Then, if a committee member does have an appearance issue, FDA says it looks into "whether the Government's interest in the member's participation outweighs the concern" over the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Just last May, FDA issued an authorization to allow the chair of its Circulatory System Devices advisory committee to participate in a meeting where there was a conflict of interest. In that case, FDA said it was "difficult to identify panelists with relevant expertise who had no affiliation with a clinical study site" for the device in question, and noted that the committee chair did not have any involvement or oversight of the study in question.

JOB BLOG // Alumni Profile: Emer McCarthy
You can't be under 26 forever.
When SYNners get too old to volunteer, a lot of them go on to work in the media, taking with them all the skills SYN has instilled in them.
Emer McCarthy volunteered on 1700 and Panorama now works as a reporter for 9News in Traralgon.
Read more about her here:
Have you been to uni? What did you study?
I studied a Bachelor of Journalism with a minor in International Studies at Monash. One year of my degree was spent studying abroad where I spent one semester in Holland and one semester in Denmark.
Did you do any internships? How valuable were these in finding a job?
I only did one internship, at Crikey, during university and then did quite a few once I graduated including at Win and 3AW. I went about finding these myself as my course was a lot more theory than practical based. At first I was quite embarrassed having to tell people that I had already graduated and was still interning but once you get over yourself you'll realise that it's never too late to start! My internships didn't immediately help me find a job but I certainly made contacts that put me in the right direction and gave me great advice.
What did you do at SYN?
I started at hosting 1700 in my first year of uni. I loved my two seasons on the show and I still think the experience was invaluable – co-hosting an hour of live TV a week as a teenager is no easy feat! 1700 taught me the importance of preparation, research and teamwork, which are such important skills in the field. When I returned from exchange I worked on Panorama which was a wonderful experience and gave me such good hands on news gathering skills. I also scripted and read news bulletins a few times a week which I absolutely loved and helped me to sharpen my news writing skills and voice.
What are you doing now? Where are you working? How did you get your job?
I'm working as a reporter with 9 News in their Gippsland bureau headquartered in Traralgon.
My first paid media job was as an overnights news producer at Sky News in Sydney followed by daytime producing. When I saw 9 was expanding into regional I applied for a role and although I really (really) wanted a reporter position I was offered a job as a producer for the NSW regional bulletins in Sydney.
I loved my team and the hours but I still really wanted to be a reporter so I made the most of the resources available to me- I went out with Sydney reporters on the weekend, I pitched my own stories and made my own packages. The director of regional saw how much I wanted a reporter role so I was put into the next available one which happened to be back in Victoria.
Don't be afraid of moving for a job, in fact if you can, do it! I've made so many lifelong friends in Sydney and had wonderful experience outside of work.
What does a typical day look like for you at Channel 9?
It's sounds cliche but really every day is different. I try to start at the gym to clear my head for a while before I'm glued to the local radio/ police scanner/ Twitter/ local Facebook pages to see what's going on while sipping my first of many coffees for the day. Once I get into the office I liaise with my two colleagues to see what's on the agenda and then we plan the day from there. We each do two packages a day – one news and one sport. With three journalists and two camera operators, planning and time management is of the essence!
What's the best advice you've received about finding a job in journalism?
Get your name out there! Don't be afraid to take the worst sounding job ever as a way to get your foot in the door as once you're in it is a lot easier. Also, most importantly of all, be kind! This industry is so small, even in two different states everyone seems to know everyone, so the last thing you want is a bad name.
What's your experience been like moving to a regional area?
I'm not going to lie, it has been incredibly difficult from me. Having lived in inner city Sydney the move to Traralgon has been really tough. It's been very hard to meet people especially as with the unpredictability of the job you can never fully commit to out of work activities. Also everything in regional areas is really spread out and you have to drive everywhere which I really don't like. The only perks are you can save a lot of money as rent is cheap and there's not much to do, plus Melbourne is only ~ 2 hours away.
You're having coffee with a SYN volunteer who wants to do what you're doing. What advice would you give them?
First up, keep drinking coffee because you'll need a lot of it! Remember to be persistent, I can't even begin to count the amount of rejection emails and calls I received when applying for jobs and it is the most awful feeling in the world but don't let it stop you from continuing to apply! Have a cry, have a D&M with your friends (or your Mum!) and get back into it. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone or email- Google news directors, producers, reporters whose work you like and see if they will meet you for a coffee too! Keep an open mind and consume as much news as you can in every form that you can.

News Talks #17: Casual employment leaves uni staff vulnerable to wage theft


A new video game set to be released on Playstation's virtual reality system is being slated for allowing players to sexually assault female characters.
The game in question is Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, a once-popular title from Japanese developer Koei Tecmo Games.
And despite the content of video games in eastern countries differing from those in the west, the images and language leave little doubt over what is being intended.
In a video showing the platform's new technology, the man playing clearly uses the motion controller to touch her inappropriately, despite her protests.
The feature lets players ogle the female body, even though she tells him in translation: "I don't like it".
She also uses a word that directly translates to "bad" that is often used to flatly deny permission.
"Very often women in video games are sexually objectified and don't have any agency in the game and this is taking that to the next level," Founder and Creative Director of Games We Play and VR expert, Dr. Kate Raynes-Goldie said.
"I think that video games play a strong part in contributing to the larger culture and what social norms are.
"The problem with that is the more you see that the more it becomes ok.
It's unclear if the Japanese version will be released in Australia, but for now the game is scheduled to hit stores the same day as the Playstation VR on October 13.
The game has already been barred from US and European shores for the way the franchise depicts women.
"Im also disappointed that Sony isn't doing anything about it and coming out saying 'no we're not going to publish this'," Dr Raynes-Goldie said.
Sony has been contacted for comment.
Dead or Alive was once a famous fighting franchise in the west, before making a transition to a new target audience with a beach volleyball spinoff and all-female characters.

My gut reaction is that she hates communism. But I'm not certain why I'm assuming that the statue is a communist.
Is it? The plane in the background was giving me the cue it was a statue of a famous aviator. Aviator/communist, maybe?
It's the moustache. That moustache says communism to me.

A site for a controversial art installation and memorial to the victims of the 2015 Paris attacks by US artist Jeff Koons has still not been found, the culture ministry said Monday.
The brightly coloured "Bouquet of Tulips", which would stand 10 metres (35 feet) tall, donated by Koons to the city after the attacks that claimed 130 lives, has been the subject of tension for months.
The culture ministry confirmed that no decision had been made after a meeting with Paris city officials and the artist's representatives.
Koons is known for his brash, voluptuous works of pop art which come with stellar price tags.
He provoked an outcry when he said he wanted his work to be installed on the esplanade of the contemporary art museum Palais de Tokyo, which faces the Eiffel Tower.
But Culture Minister Francoise Nyssen told the Figaro newspaper on Monday that "we will offer him another place".
The tulips should be erected somewhere "popular, visible and shared by everyone," she added.
A park in the north of Paris has been tipped as a possible alternative, according to a source from the park's management.
A source familiar with the discussion said Koons' representatives were not happy to learn through the media that the Palais de Tokyo had been ruled out.
In January, artists, gallery owners and officials including former culture minister Frederic Mitterrand signed an open letter objecting to the planned memorial.
The letter described Koons as an "emblem of industrial art which is spectacular and speculative" and slammed the cost of installing the 35-tonne sculpture.
"We appreciate gifts, but free ones," they wrote.

Q: img-retina alternative for backgrounds in Bootstrap 4.3 Ref: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/28072
It looks like the img-retina() mixin has been deprecated with the suggestion that we should use responsive image tags (I assume this is pictures with source sets?) and object-fit for background images?
Is there a standard/accepted way to replace/replicate the old retina background approach?
This blog post indicates that we should use position:absolute; images with source sets?

However I'm not sure this is suited for a tiled/repeating background image?

Gung Ho Projects is a New York-based performance and education platform aimed at increasing understanding between China and the United States. Founded in 2015, Gung Ho initiates projects that create opportunities for self-expression, empowerment, exchange, and understanding across linguistic and cultural divides.
The term "gung-ho," meaning "enthusiastic" or "overzealous," entered into colloquial American English from its Chinese equivalent 工合 "gong he," meaning "working together." The term was first adopted by Major Evans Carlson, a Marine Corps officer who heard it used by his friend, Rewi Alley, a New Zealand-born political activist instrumental in forming the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives (abbreviated as "Gong He"). Major Carlson was inspired by what he understood as the "can-do" attitude of the Chinese and adopted the term as a slogan for his battalion.
At Gung Ho, we carry on the collaborative spirit of the original Chinese phrase as well as the "can do" attitude of its Americanized use.

Q: Configure restmod for submodule in AngularJS So I have a main module app defined as
app = angular.module("app", ['app.social_accounts', 'restmod'])

which has its restmod module configured:
app.config(function(restmodProvider) {
    restmodProvider.rebase({
    $config: {
        primaryKey: "id",
        style: "ams",
        urlPrefix: "/app/"
    }
  });
});

and it works as expected: request were sent to http://localhost:8000/app/...
Now I want to use restmod in the submodule app.social_accounts, by doing
app = angular.module("app.social_accounts", ['restmod'])

app.config(function(restmodProvider) {
    restmodProvider.rebase({
    $config: {
        primaryKey: "id",
        style: "ams",
        urlPrefix: "https://graph.facebook.com/"
    }
  });
});
app.factory("Album", ["restmod", function(restmod){
    Album = restmod.model("/me/albums/")
    return {
        "get": function(){Album.$search()}
    }
}])

namely I want to use absolute url in the submodule app.social_accounts.
But when I inject Album (registered under app.social_accounts) into a controller DashboardCtrl under app, the request were sent to http://localhost:8000/app/me/albums/.
So I wonder what is happening here and how to achieve a separate url for restmod under app.social_accounts?

A: Any configuration defined with restmodProvider is global for restmod irrespective of the module it's used in. So in your example above, the urlPrefix defined in the app.social_accounts module is being overwritten by the configuration in the app module.
In order to achieve the behaviour you expect, you can override the configuration on a per model basis:
angular.module('app.social_accounts', ['restmod'])

  .factory('Album', function(restmod) {
     var Album = restmod.model('/me/albums')
       .mix({
         $config: {
           urlPrefix: 'https://graph.facebook.com/'
         }
       });
   });

If you require the configuration in more than one model within a module, a mixin can be used to keep things DRY:
.factory('restmodConfigSocial', function(restmod) {
  return restmod.mixin({
    $config: {
      urlPrefix: 'https://graph.facebook.com/'
    }
  });
})

.factory('Album', function(restmod) {
  var Album = restmod.model('/me/albums').mix('restmodConfigSocial');
});

APM Terminal Apapa earns ISO 28000: 2007 certification
EconomyLifestyleNews
By onepageafrica Last updated Aug 11, 2022
APM Terminals Apapa Limited has achieved ISO 28000:2007 Security Certification, issued by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Limited.
The ISO Certification is a security management system including those aspects critical to the security assurance of the supply chain, specifically the handling of containerized cargo.
APM Terminals Apapa Limited, which operates a busy container terminal in West Africa, is the only company in Nigeria which has earned the ISO 28000:2007 certification.
In a statement issued by the spokesman, Mr Bolaji Akinola, this distinction reflects the commitment of the company, part of the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network, to perform at the highest
international standards, and recognized best practices in theft prevention, cargo security, and supply chain integrity.
The Head of Security APM Terminals Apapa, Ayo Olatubosun, said, "even though the United States Coast Guard and the Nigeria Maritime and Security Agency (NIMASA) had approved and commended the security measure for cargo handling at the terminal, we were determined to achieve even higher security levels in the interests of the country, and of our customers.
"While global trade poses security risks ranging from theft to terrorism, this ISO certification shows that we have identified the critical aspects of the security of the cargo within APM Terminals
Apapa, and have set in place the security policies, procedures and controls required to manage secure and safe terminal operations" said Andrew Dawes, the Managing Director of APM Terminals Apapa Limited.
APM Terminals Apapa is the largest of the three container terminals serving the Apapa/Lagos port complex, handling about 700,000 TEUs in 2014, including more than half of all containerized
imports into Lagos.

Q: ASP.NET MVC Routing - Pass inbound route value to outbound URLs automatically? I have an ASP.NET MVC application with an Admin area that deals with administering Companies and their child entities, such as Users and Products. The default route associated with a child entity is defined as follows:
"Admin/Company/{companyID}/{controller}/{id}/{action}"

I would like to ensure that, everywhere in the Admin area, whenever the incoming route includes companyID, that this value is automatically included in every generated URL. For example, if my User Edit page has a link defined with Html.ActionLink("back to list", "Index"), the routing system will automatically grab the companyID from the incoming route data and include it in the outgoing route, without having to explicitly specify it in the call to ActionLink.
I think there's more than one way to achieve this, but is there a preferred/best way? Does it scream for a custom route handler? Something else?
My goal is to not lose the current company context when navigating around in the sub-sections, and I don't want to use Session - that could burn me if the user opens up multiple companies in different browser windows/tabs.
Thanks in advance!

A: Todd,
I am using an ActionFilterAttribute in my MVC 2 application to make this happen. There may be better ways to do this:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class|AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = true)]
sealed class MyContextProviderAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        // See if the context is provided so that you can cache it.
        string myContextParam = filterContext.HttpContext.Request["myContextParam"] ;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(myContextParam))
            filterContext.Controller.TempData["myContextParam"] = myContextParam;
        else
            // Manipulate the action parameters and use the cached value.
            if (filterContext.ActionParameters.Keys.Contains("myContextParam"))
                filterContext.ActionParameters["myContextParam"] = filterContext.Controller.TempData["myContextParam"];
            else
                filterContext.ActionParameters.Add("myContextParam", filterContext.Controller.TempData["myContextParam"]);

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

Russian Minister of Defence General of the Army Sergei Shoigu holds teleconference with leadership of Armed Forces
Today, the National Centre for State Defence Control hosted a teleconference chaired by General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Minister of Defence.
Before speaking on the agenda, the Russian Minister of Defence commented on the results of the Russian presidential elections.
Some 250 pieces of hardware including helicopters and aircraft were detached to support electoral commissions during early voting in remote areas.
Turnout in the Election Day made up 99.2% of the military electorate.
Sergei Shoigu paid considerable attention to situation in Syria.
The Russian Centre for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides is supervising an unprecedented and unique humanitarian operation in the Eastern Ghouta.
Over the past five days, 79,655 people have been evacuated via the humanitarian corridors from the Eastern Ghouta. More than 65% of its area has been liberated.
Russian officers are focused on safe evacuation of civilians from blocked areas as well as on delivering humanitarian aid from Russia to Syrians, who left the enclave.
In a short period time, 427 tons of food supplies, and field kitchens with bottled water, 7,100 matrasses and sets of bed linen as well as 91,819 food sets were delivered to the country. In total, 21,840 civilians are provided with hot meals.
Meanwhile, the Centre secured safe access of three UN humanitarian convoys to blocked suburbs of Damascus in March as part of the humanitarian operation. The convoys delivered more than 445 tons of cargo.
The Russian Centre coordinates its work with the UN, ICRC and SARC organizations.
"Despite regular attempts of terrorists to undermine peaceful initiatives in the Eastern Ghouta, the Russian Centre holds negotiations with leaders of armed formations in order to cease hostilities and prevent humanitarian disaster. All the taken measures have led to general stabilization on the outskirts of Damascus", the Defence Minister announced.
He also emphasized that the Russian Centre for Reconciliation held humanitarian action in other parts of Syria as well.
Its main goal is to provide people with medical care, food supplies and the bare necessities.
In total, 3,870 people have been evacuated from western part of the Idlib de-escalation zone to Aleppo province via a humanitarian corridor organized by the Russian-Turkish-Iranian Joint Coordination Centre. Besides, 25,684 people returned back to Deir ez-Zor.
The Russian Minister of Defence stressed that more than 1,300,000 refugees returned back to liberated regions since the beginning of the Russian operation in Syria.
At the same time, Russia observes actions of the USA and coalition in the region.
Recently their military forces have become more active in Syria. There is still possibility that terrorists can use chemical agents in order to further accuse the government troops of applying chemical weapons against civil population.
Sergei Shoigu reported that such three attempts had been disrupted over the past seven days.
"Russia reckons on its Western partners taking reasonable decisions to stop flirting with terrorists and support Russian peaceful initiatives in Syria", Sergei Shoigu said. He also emphasized that Russia will carry on doing its best to stabilize situation in the region and urging all sides concerned to join constructive dialogue and cooperate to stop violence.
The Russian Minister of Defence also spoke on the Annual Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly that outlines objectives of this country for the near future.
In this regard, Sergei Shoigu stressed that the 2020 Activity Plan of the Russian Defence Ministry as well as the 2018-2027 State Armaments Programme are to be updated in order to fully implement the instructions of the President.
It is important to consistently increase the share of modern armament, intensity of combat training and improve recruitment system.
