Sfenj is a fritter-like Moroccan doughnut made from a sticky, unsweetened leavened dough. Once it has risen, handfuls of dough are shaped into rings and deep-fried until golden and crispy with a chewy, fluffy interior. You can dust with sugar, if you like, or simply eat as is.
In Morocco, the task of making sfenj is usually left to street vendors who cook your order on the spot, often using skewers to remove the freshly made sfenj from the oil. For extra crispy texture, some customers request that the cooked doughnuts be flattened or smashed and returned to the oil for second frying.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water and set aside to proof for 10 or 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the flour with the salt and 1 cup warm water. Add the yeast mixture and stir vigorously with your hand or a heavy wooden spoon until smooth. The dough should be too sticky to knead or shape, almost like a thick batter.
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the dough to rise for 3 to 4 hours, until double or triple in bulk.
In a wide, deep pot, heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
Set out a bowl of water. Dip your hands in the water, then pull off a piece of dough about the size of a small plum. Use your fingers to make a hole in the ball of dough, stretch the hole wide to make a ring, and place the dough in the hot oil.
Repeat with additional portions of dough, until you've added as many sfenj as will fit comfortably in your pot; do not overcrowd. Wet your hands as necessary to keep the dough from sticking as you work with it.
Fry the sfenj until golden brown, turning once or twice. Remove the cooked sfenj to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Repeat shaping and frying until you've used up all the dough.
If desired, finish the hot sfenj by dipping in granulated sugar or by dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve the sfenj hot or warm; they lose their texture and appeal when cold. Sfenj will not stay fresh very long at room temperature; it's best to freeze leftover sfenj and then reheat in the oven when needed.
Sfenj is best-enjoyed piping hot or warm, so if they've cooled before serving time, do reheat them briefly in the oven. They may be served plain or dusted with sugar for breakfast or tea time. Moroccan mint tea is the typical beverage of choice.
The key to crispy and light doughnuts is making sure you are frying at the right temperature, which is 365 F. It is best to use a deep-fry or candy thermometer to help maintain the temperature and know if you need to raise or lower the heat. It is natural for the oil to drop in temperature right after you add the doughnuts, and for the oil temp to rise over the course of a few batches, so keep your eye on the thermometer.


Speaker of the Parliament of Armenia Ara Babloyan has issued a statement over certain developments being registered during the ongoing campaign of the extraordinary parliamentary elections, the Parliament official webpage informs about this.
Speaker Babloyan says that about 30-year history of the Republic of Armenia has proved that there are values, which are not subject of any speculation, bargaining, as well as those values cannot be reduced to a level of personal and political pre-electoral interests and in those values Artsakh has its special place. He has urged to get consolidated around one united position on Artsakh: conditioned by the gentleman-like agreement, in general, remove the theme of Artsakh or the name Artsakh from the pre-electoral speeches and disputes from every-day word stock.
"Dear colleagues, dear friends, during the extraordinary parliamentary elections of recent days some developing events could not leave me indifferent. Those events made me again address everybody with the right of elder friend.
About 30-year history of the Republic of Armenia has proved that there are values, which are not subject of any speculation, bargaining, as well as those values cannot be reduced to a level of personal and political pre-electoral interests. In those values Artsakh has its special place. Only two years ago, in April, all of us again documented and got convinced that the security of Artsakh and the right of self-determination of our compatriots living in Artsakh are under care of everybody. All of us showed that they back Artsakh and the people of Artsakh, proved that our whole force is directed to the defense of Artsakh and the Artsakh people.
In the issue of Artsakh the black, the red, the white and the green should not exist among us. The separations of political colourings, if we cannot refuse it, we'll spread exclusively on the political struggle, and Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia have only one united colour, and it is the Armenian tricolour. In fact, what is said equally refers to all political forces.
Dear friends, the tricolour is common, as the security of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia is the future of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia. Thus, I urge all of us to get consolidated around one united position on Artsakh: conditioned by the gentleman-like agreement, in general, remove the theme of Artsakh or the name Artsakh from the pre-electoral speeches and disputes from every-day word stock.
I address my sisters and brothers of Artsakh.
During these pre-electoral days I ask you not to stir passion and leave without response some voiced statements, which most probably, serve as a consequence of not right formulations of thoughts. As I noted, the security of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia and the welafre future is the united future of all of us," Ara Babloyan's statement reads.
The Early Parliamentary Elections' Final Results Resumed Today Head of the Central Electoral Commission Tigran Mukuchyan resumed today the final results of the early parliamentary elections held on 09 December.
Iran Welcomes Armenian Parliamentary Elections The result of such election will be sign of democratic changes in this neighboring country, he said.
Georgian President Congratulates Pashinyan over Impressive Victory of "My step" Block in Elections The Georgian President wished success to Nikol Pashinyan in the reform implementation in Armenia, and hoped that the friendly relations between Armenia and Georgia will further deepen.

Q: how to clone an azure dev ops git repo using PAT with command line git or sourcetree? ok, our org has the code in an azure dev ops repo.
I have been trying to clone it via git command line on the mac, via sourcetree on the mac and via sourcetree on windows, with no luck.
I created a PAT in the azure git web UI.
on the mac, if I do:
$ git clone https://ourorg.visualstudio.com/CMS/_git/ourProj
Cloning into 'ourProj'...
Username for 'https://ourorg.visualstudio.com': xxx
Password for 'https://xxx@ourorg.visualstudio.com':
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://ourorg.visualstudio.com/CMS/_git/ourProj/'

For user, I tried my azure user, and I also tried the PAT.
For pass, I tired my azure pass, and also the PAT.
None of these options work.
For sourcetree, I have also tried these combinations o PAT/PAT user/PAT user/pass etc. with no luck.  Any suggestions?
This is the page I used to create the PAT:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate?view=azure-devops
This doc says to use the PAT as the user and pass, but this simply doesnt work.
the doc also says you can do this:
git clone https://anything:{yourPAT}@dev.azure.com/yourOrgName/yourProjectName/_git/yourRepoName

But this does not work either.
e.g. If I do this (fixed thanks to jessejouwing):
$ git clone https://asdf:{myPATgoesHERE}@dev.azure.com/ourorg/CMS/_git/ourProj

On windows I always get:
Cloning into 'ourProj'...
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://dev.azure.com/ourorg/CMS/_git/ourProj/'
The PAT is 100% correct.
Unfortunately, "alternative credentials" is disabled in our org, so we have to use PAT.  PAT is not working, so I cant work.

A: git clone https://{yourPAT}@dev.azure.com/yourOrgName/yourProjectName/_git/yourRepoName

That should suffice.

A: Just click on Generate Git Credentials and use it to authenticate / clone your repo:

More info on 4Kids TV
4Kids TV: Map
4Kids TV (often shown as "4K!DS TV") was a Saturday morning television programming block on the Fox Broadcasting Company. The block was part of the Fox Network schedule. 4Kids TV was the result of a four-year agreement reached in January 2002 between 4Kids Entertainment and Fox to lease the network's Saturday morning programming block. The block launched under the name "FoxBox" on September 14, 2002, replacing Fox Kids which was cancelled following the purchase of Fox Family Worldwide by The Walt Disney Company. It was re-branded 4Kids TV on January 22, 2005. 4Kids Entertainment is wholly responsible for the content of the block and collects all advertising revenues from it.
The programming block aired on Saturday mornings in most areas of the United States , though some stations carried it on Sundays. 4Kids actually ran two competing Saturday morning lineups; on May 24, 2008, 4Kids Entertaimnent replaced the Kids' WB programming block aired on The CW Television Network on Saturday mornings with a new block, The CW4Kids.
It was announced in November 2008 that the 4Kids TV block would conclude at the end of the year due to a payment (Fox was being paid no money for airing the block)/distribution (Fox did not keep its promise of coverage in at least 90% of Fox affiliates) dispute between 4Kids and Fox. The block ended on December 27, 2008. Fox announced that the time would no longer be used for kids programming, owing that it was no longer viable due to the burden of E/I programming and the insurmountable competition from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Discovery Kids since the time was used for kids programming since 1990. On January 3, 2009, the network gave two hours back to affiliates (likely began to encourage them to begin Saturday morning newscasts or began to make fulfilling their E/I requirements easier), while the other two hours became an informercial block titled Weekend Marketplace. The 4KidsTV logo now only exists as the closing logo for 4Kids Entertainment for 4Kids shows run outside of The CW4Kids block outside of the United States .
4Kids launched an online video player on their website on September 8, 2007, and has been adding full episodes and more videos and content since then. However, it was revamped on September 25, 2008, though in beta testing. Promotions stated that 4Kids TV would be "moving online" starting in January 2009, implying that the video player would take full effect then, but it was still in beta testing. However, 4Kids seemed to increase the rate that shows were added to the player at that point. On September 9, 2009, the beta symbol was removed, and the player was revamped again.

Relationship with Fox and broadcast ambiguities
The block had a somewhat unusual relationship to the Fox Network. The programming was produced for Fox and offered to Fox affiliates first, so the Fox affiliate in any given area has right of first refusal. In the event a Fox affiliate or in some cases an O & O, Owned and Operated, Fox affliate opts not to carry 4Kids TV the block then is available in the market for another television station to pick up. In fact, it was due in part to this relationship that 4Kids dissolved the block in 2008, as they had been promised clearance on at least 90% of Fox affiliates.
Most 4Kids TV programming did not meet the criteria to be considered educational and did not count toward the 3 hour per week mandatory educational children's programming quotas. The only exceptions were Winx Club, The Adrenaline Project, Magical DoReMi, Stargate Infinity, reruns of Back to the Future: the Animated Series, and Cubix.

New World stations and 4Kids TV
Dating back to the Fox Kids days, the stations that Fox acquired from New World Communications in 1996 generally did not air 4Kids TV. In some of the New World markets, 4Kids was not aired on any station. In a majority of these markets, an independent station carried this block: in others, the MyNetworkTV affiliate carried it: in still others, the CW affiliate carried it. The exception was St. Louis, Missouri , where KTVI carried 4Kids TV (2 hours early, beginning at 5:00).
KTVK and KASW
KASW signed on in September 1995 on channel 61. It was originally owned by the Brooks family and immediately secured a local marketing agreement with MAC America Communications, then owner of KTVK . KTVK bought the entire broadcast day on the station to run shows that did not fit into KTVK's schedule. The WB affiliation also went from KTVK to KASW. The station ran syndicated cartoons, Kids' WB! cartoons, first-run shows from The WB Television Network, classic sitcoms, recent sitcoms, old movies, and eventually Fox Kids by the end of 1996.
KNXV officially became Phoenix's ABC affiliate in January 1995, and KTVK nominally became the market's WB affiliate. However, it only showed WB programming on Saturday nights, so it was essentially an independent station. It also ran Fox Kids in the early afternoons and weekend mornings for about a year. The station aired Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and several off-network sitcoms during prime time.
KTVK owned a huge programming inventory, but lacked enough time in its broadcast day to air it all even after dropping ABC. As such, when the Brooks family launched a new station, KASW , in September, KTVK immediately entered into a local marketing agreement with the new station. KASW became a WB affiliate, and KTVK bought the new station's entire broadcast day. KTVK then reinstated Saturday morning newscasts.
Ironically, since 2001 Fox owned both KSAZ Fox 10 and KUTP My 45 (then UPN 45). It was thought that 4Kids TV would move to Channel 45 but Fox still passed on it even for their second station in that market. It therefore remained on KASW.

Can an Employer Be Responsible for an Employee's Car Accident?
When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident and the other driver caused that accident, you assume that they would be held responsible for your injuries. In most instances, this is the case. However, there are times when the driver is involved in an accident while performing their regular job duties. This scenario opens the potential for holding not only the employee but the employer responsible as well.
Determining when an employer is responsible for the actions of an employee is not easy. Instead, it comes down to the circumstances of the crash, the statute, and the employer's role in the incident. Therefore, if you are involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle or an employee driving a company car, consult with an attorney to see if your case is one that falls under this exception.
When a motor vehicle accident happens and the driver was performing work duties, employers could be liable. Determining if you can hold that employer responsible means showing there is legal precedent to assign the responsibility from the employee over to the employer.
When Would Employers Be Liable?
There are a few situations where an employer might be liable for a car accident caused by an employee.
Sometimes, the employer's negligence causes the accident – such as negligent hiring or supervision of an employee. When a company hires their workers, they are required to make sure that the worker is qualified and will not create hazardous conditions for the public. For example, if an employer hires a worker with a history of DUIs and allows them to drive a company vehicle, even though the employer is aware of the worker's DUI record. By failing to exercise their reasonable due diligence and ensuring they put a safe driver behind the wheel of a company vehicle, they could be liable if that driver becomes intoxicated while driving a company car and causes an accident.
Bottom line, if an employee is using a company vehicle of any kind, the employer must ensure that the employee has the right license and that the license has not expired and has a solid driving record. Checking their past driving record and even performing intermittent drug and alcohol screening should also be done by an employer to ensure their driver is complying with company protocols and state regulations.
Another example would be an employer blatantly ignoring safety regulations. For instance, a commercial truck company forcing their employees to work beyond the federal maximum allowed hours.
Negligent supervision is another way in which employers take the responsibility of an employee-caused accident. Employers must have safety protocols in place and should enforce them with all workers. Furthermore, they must ensure their drivers follow all state or county safety laws.
For example, a company with commercial truck drivers must ensure their drivers follow all state and federal trucking laws. When employers fail to check and ensure these drivers are exercising a reasonable duty of care or complying with local regulations, they could be held at fault for that negligent supervision.
Under vicarious liability, the employer might not need to be negligent. Instead, this doctrine of the law allows a person to ascertain that the actions of the employee are still the responsibility of the employer – despite the employer not being negligent.
For example, the employee uses a company car to pick up documents at the local copy shop. On the way there, they run a red light and cause an accident. Because they were running an errand for the company as part of their job duties, under vicarious liability, the employer may still be liable for the incident despite doing nothing wrong themselves.
Vicarious liability works both ways. An employer is not automatically responsible for everything their workers do. For example, the employee was not running a job errand and was in an accident on their way to work. Because they were not performing job duties and not currently on the clock, the employer is unlikely to be found responsible through vicarious liability.
Realize that under the going and coming rules, employers are not liable for employee car accidents if the employee's incident occurs during non-working hours – including their commute. Even if the employee were in a company car at the time, the employer would not be liable because the employee was not working as an agent of the company during the accident.
Holding employers responsible for the actions of their workers is a complicated area of the law that is best left to attorneys. If you are injured in a car accident with an employee and you are curious if you could hold the employer liable, you need to speak with an attorney.
If the insurance coverage or assets of the driver are inadequate, do not assume that you can use a suit against the employer to fill that gap. Specific legal theories must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence in order to win your case.
After a severe car accident, you should not have to worry about researching employer liability as it pertains to a car accident. Instead, you need to focus on recovering.

Did Obama ever bomb Syria? Here's how President Obama handled the Syrian crisis.
By Eric Lutz
President Donald Trump ordered a strike against the Syrian government Thursday night in response to a devastating chemical attack by Bashar Assad's regime.
The United States launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at an airbase in Syria in response to what Trump described as "slaughter and bloodshed" in the country.
It was the first direct U.S. attack on Assad's government.
Trump had previously condemned Assad's chemical attack, saying it had "crossed many lines" for him — but blamed former President Barack Obama for doing "nothing" about Syria in the past.
"President Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a 'red line' against the use of chemical weapons and then did nothing," Trump said, saying the attack that left dozens of Syrian's dead was a "consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution."

Though he did not attack the Syrian government, Obama did not do "nothing."
At the onset of the Syrian civil war, the Obama administration imposed sanctions against Assad's government and called for the Syrian president to step down.
In 2012, he set a "red line" against the use of chemical weapons, which Assad crossed when he killed more than 1,400 people using sarin gas outside of Damascus.
Obama considered military strikes against the Syria government and drew up plans to do so, but instead pursued diplomatic solutions.
Trump was against military intervention at the time, repeatedly arguing that the United States should "stay out of Syria."
"AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA," Trump tweeted in 2013. "IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!"
Trump also tweeted that the United States would "look very bad" if civilians were killed in an attack on Syria; nine civilians, including four children, were killed in Thursday's strike, according to Syrian state media.
The United States was allowed to enter the country and remove and destroy at least a significant portion of Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons. The Obama administration also sent arms to anti-Assad rebel groups in the country.
While the missile strike Thursday marked the first time the U.S. directly attacked the Assad regime, it is not the first U.S. airstrike in the country. The U.S. began air raids on ISIS forces in Syria in 2014.

Why Healing is Accelerated in a Group Setting
Posted on January 3, 2015 Updated on December 29, 2015
You can open to the Divine by yourself in a cave, but for most people, it's far easier to do in the company of others. What kind of company? "Good Company" advise the Great Ones. That is the meaning of the word "Satsang" — a community of truth-seekers.
Cave at Qumrun, in Israel; where the desert fathers retreated in solitude.
My mentor, Rev. Dr. Ron Roth, who spent over 40 years conducting healing services with attendance ranging from 10 to 10,000 people at any given event, used to warn the audience: "When I call out your condition, NOW is the time to come forward for healing. Don't think you're going to corner me privately later in the hall and get any result."
He was referring to the fact that in the energy of the group prayer and devotion, the healing presence of the Holy Spirit and the holy spirit helpers were called forth in that elevated energy (vibration is another way of saying it) and performed the healing work in a way that usually was astonishing and miraculous. "When Kathryn Kuhlman led services," he would exhort over and over, "she would stand and sing with the choir and the audience for over an hour before she began the healing portion."
Why did she do this? Why did Ron insist on long intervals of musical prayer? Indeed, I learned the role of music in healing by serving as one of Ron's musical team for almost 10 years. I experienced firsthand how music and chanting elevate the vibrational field. All cultures and traditions everywhere recognize this, and there are virtually no healing traditions that don't include some sort of meditative sounding, whether it is drumming, om-ing, singing, chanting, gongs, kirtan or any other form of music.
Ron Roth at a 2004 healing retreat.
Yogananda once held a service in which he had the jam-packed crowd at Carnegie Hall chanting "Oh God Beautiful" for an hour and twenty five minutes!:
"For one hour and twenty-five minutes, the thousands of voices of the entire audience chanted…in a divine atmosphere of joyous praise…The next day many men and women testified to the God-perception and the healing of body, mind, and soul that had taken place during the sacred chanting, and numerous requests came in to repeat the song at other services."* *
Could Yogananda, or other great mystics, bring about healing without a crowd of chanters? Yes. Such Divine Masters vibrate at a level much greater than your average spiritual healer.
I studied with Mahendra Trivedi for a time, and he joked about experiments in India where they hooked him up to various scientific apparatus and brought in the greatest of Reiki healers, whose effect was absolutely nil. The reason, he chuckled, was "the stronger energy always wins." His own energetic field was so much higher that nothing she did could affect him in any way. But he himself has transmuted, in scientific experiments, just about every substance known to man, and great healings have also occurred through him. So the fully God-Realized can and do emit a healing energy regardless of the environment.
Yet, many of them; in fact almost all I can think of, did use the group to amplify and generate the field and invite in the Divine Presence. John of God, perhaps the greatest medium and spiritist healer in hundreds of years, has several hundred mediums meditating to generate the field in which the benevolent Encidades (healing entities) do their work through him. At the Casa Dom Inacio in Brazil, this energy field is called the "current". It comes from the portuguese word corrente, which means both an energetic/electrical current and a chain…it is a healing current formed by a chain of people."Sit in the current" is the most frequent prescription given at the Casa.
Ron Roth, at the invitation of John of God, conducts a healing service at the Casa Dom Inacio in 2004. That's me on guitar in the background.
Current is a beautiful example of "give & get." Some people prefer to have a healer work on them in private. This is effective too, depending on the healer. But one must remember, that's all about the "getting." The beauty of healing in and with a group, is that you are also giving. And in terms of your own Grace Bank Account, that can only be a good thing.
Healing services are an opportunity to come together and generate that energetic field in such a way that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is the meaning underlying the famous quote of Jesus: "Where two or more are gathered together, there am I among you."

There are times in your life when you can see everything coming together in a way that is so perfect and so fluid that you can only stand aside and watch the pieces fall into place, knowing that only divine Grace could so direct the play.
Two years ago, on the night after my mentor Ron Roth died, I had a vivid dream visitation; a dream in which my friend Rev. Susi Roos and I were dressing in ministerial vestments in the vestry of a Catholic church. Ron Roth, in full priestly regalia, came charging down the aisle of the cathedral, holding his bishop's staff and scolding us loudly in his most annoyed tone.
"Where are you, I'm WAITING for you!" he said impatiently.
He turned back toward the altar, and Susi and I fled down the aisle after him, practically running to keep up. He mounted the platform and we slid into seats behind him and looked out at a vast crowd.

On August 9th, that dream came to life when Susi and I got into our ministerial vestments in the vestry of St. Catherine of Siena Roman Catholic church in Rialto, California. And though Ron was not there in body, he certainly was fully present for both of us and for the people of the parish in the San Bernardino area who came in droves to attend the seminar and healing service Evicting Cancer, which, two years ago when I had the dream, was not even a glimmer in either of our eyes.
When I first floated the idea for doing this interfaith educational and healing event past Fr. Steve Porter, whom I had met in Brazil, I did some rapid math in my head. I knew his parish was large, and I figured that among 9000 people, many lives must be touched by cancer. How many would turn out on a weekday or weeknight to hear two unknown female ministers was at best a gamble—I figured anywhere from 10 to 100. But the Holy Spirit had other ideas.
Unknown to me when we had first spoken of the idea was the fact that Fr. Steve has conducted regular healing services at his church for years, and had everything and everyone in place to hold a large-scale event that otherwise would have taken a huge amount of logistical arrangements if we were truly starting from scratch—which we weren't. With Fr. Steve's enthusiastic support, the first of two events that day had around 300 people in attendance at 10:00 a.m.
Rev. Susi Roos opens the Evicting Cancer event
A wonderful musical ministry team gave their time to support the services, and to provide translation during our talks as well. After we were introduced in English and Spanish by Fr. Steve, Rev. Susi, who works as both a nurse and a mind/body specialist at a leading cancer treatment facility, spent the first hour talking on the three biggest mistakes people make when addressing cancer, and gave easy and practical things people could do to greatly assist the effectiveness of their treatment. She put all the medical information into a spiritual context, touching on some of the concepts from her in-depth teleseminars and home-study programs.
Then it was my turn to open people up to a higher energy transmission through teaching and leading worship (something I've done many times on a scale larger than 300 people) and in the laying-on-of-hands healing (something I've done in smaller events).
Fr. Steve had arranged with one of the prayer groups to provide support, and in accordance with the way they conduct healing services at this church, every individual is personally escorted by a healing minister to come for laying on of hands; the minister stays with them if they go "down under the Power of the Spirit" (involuntarily fall gently to rest on the floor while healing is done on an unconscious level).
Rev. Susi anointing with blessed oil.
Our spiritual assistants also functioned as translators as the vast majority of those attending had Spanish as their primary language.
I knew one thing: don't prepare too much, because whatever you think will happen, it will surely be something different. And so it was.
Rev. Nettie blesses at the evening service.
I was ready to lay hands on people in blessing, but shortly into the personal blessings I was led to look at them in the eyes, and as I did, thoughts would come flooding in, differing from one person to the next, such as "have courage!" or "you are loved…" There was clearly an energy being transmitted through the gazing, and all I had to do was get out of the way and let it happen. I also found myself clearing much "junk"—removing invisible energy blocks before passing people on to Susi, who then anointed them with oil. As she blessed them, many went down under the Power. Fr. Steve moved amongst the people and between us, lending energetic, logistical and prayer support.
The morning, scheduled to go from 10:00 – 12:00, continued till 1:00 p.m., as people waited patiently in line for their turn.
The evening event began at 7:00 pm, and saw many more people fill the church. This time it was clear to Fr. Steve that at least half were not his parishioners, but those who had heard about the opportunity through friends or through the local Spanish radio station, and had come with hope in their hearts, some bringing children, some with older people in wheelchairs, some holding pictures of loved ones.
As the evening went on, the Divine energy in the church became electric; people were open, full of devotion and enthusiastically ready to receive Grace. Reflected on many faces as they approached, was much fear, pain and suffering, and devotion as well. But just under the surface lay a hunger and thirst for love, hope, and most of all, peace—the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The service started promptly at 7:00 and didn't end till after 11:00. Fr. Steve estimated that we had over 1000 in attendance and about 700 who came up to be personally blessed. I had no idea how many; I could only see the person in front of me, and Juvenal, the human angel who was assisting me, pointed me where I needed to go in the cases of the elderly and wheelchair patients.
This time, as the evening went on, as I looked at the person in front of me, I knew within seconds who was physically sick and who was there for emotional reasons. If I asked, they would verify the information and give a few words about their situation. As expected, there were many with cancers, but there were many other conditions as well, often advanced and serious, as well as those seeking help with emotional problems.
Rev. Nettie blessing through the eyes.
People come to healing services hoping for miraculous help. And what they mean is, on the physical level, they want their cancers to disappear; their ailments—many of which took years and years to establish—to vanish immediately. I've been in this world of healing long enough to know that this indeed happens at times, and I believe that when it happens it's to build faith not only in that person, but in all who know them.
More often, a new kind of journey is initiated. Susi quotes her first patient in this field who begged for her help, sensing Susi knew things that could help her, even though the doctors had told her they couldn't do any more: "You turned my death sentence into a healing journey," she later said.
While I've experienced that journey in my own life and witnessed it in so many others—some near and dear to me—that night took everything I've ever been through in the world of spiritual healing to a whole new level.
I stood at the center of the healing vortex and I could see, feel and know that an energetic transformation had happened for many attendees; that infusion of Divine energy would revitalize them; some in the physical, some in the emotional, some in the spiritual, and some in all three.
An infusion of energy always alters that which it touches; it's a physical law. What's less well-known is that it is a spiritual law as well.
As a result, I know that not only the people who came were changed; I, too, am changed.
For almost 30 years I have resounded with the quote from George Bernard Shaw that starts: This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one…
On August 9th, I was fully used by that purpose. There is no better place to be. For that privilege, I am grateful to God.
Our gratitude also goes to Fr. Steve Porter for making this event available to the people of his community, with whom we now share a profound sense of love and blessing.
Rev. Susi, Rev. Nettie & Fr. Steve, the day after the services.

Chasing Saints
Posted on April 15, 2011 Updated on January 7, 2015
While visiting Julio, (my friend of more decades than I care to admit) at his house in Florida some dozen years ago, I found in the guest bedroom—a room that vaguely resemble a monk's cell if you don't count the opulent bedspread and plush mattress—a single book with browning pages. It bore this intriguing title: "The Incorruptibles". While it sounded like a 1950's movie starring a gang of teens, it turned out to be a captivating account of many Catholic saints whose bodies were documented to have been found intact years or centuries after their death. I stayed up late into the wee hours, reading the somewhat grisly details of various body parts or even whole bodies in inexplicable states of preservation; no mummification required.
Around that time we were planning a trip to Italy. I was also studying with the mystic, healer and former Catholic priest Ron Roth, whose main guide was the 20th-century mystic and Capuchin priest, Padre Pio. So when I floated the idea of a detour down the Italian boot to San Giovanni Rotundo to visit Pio's home-base, Julio's eyes lit up as did his face with his (paradoxically) devilish grin: "I'm there, baby! I love chasing saints."
Julio has a gift for such bon mots. The phrase made me laugh aloud, and it stuck. As it turns out, the two of us did chase saints across Italy, or as we later joked, Padre Pio chased us across Italy. In years after, we went on to chase saints halfway round the globe.
When I was growing up as a Jewish girl in the Bronx, in a secular Yiddishist environment, such a notion as saints would bring puzzled laughter. I remember my mom making humorous comments from time to time, like: "It's the building next to that church, you know: 'Our Lady of Ten Thousand Mitzvahs.' " In a largely agnostic/secular/atheist environment, the idea of devotions to deceased mortals and their representative statues was an inexplicable phenomenon of a culture diametrically opposed to our own.
It took many years of study and experience for me to begin to understand the world's attraction to saints, and my own as well.
The first big piece of news for me was that those regarded as saints are found in every faith, and devotion to them is not limited to Catholicism. There are even those who could rightly be regarded as secular saints. The second was that there are among us today many who by any regard fit that description.
I'm fortunate enough to have been in the presence of some of the greatest of our time. It's been my encounters with the living ones that gave me the understanding of the intense devotion to those who no longer walk the earth.
So, I think for a while, I am going to run a periodic series of reflections on sainthood; what it means for us in this era, and some of my personal experiences with those whom we may hold in this regard.
I leave this post with my favorite quote from one of my most powerful influences: the writer, Jungian psychologist and perhaps saint himself, Robert A. Johnson. Anyone who has heard one of my talks knows I am fond of quoting him, and this paragraph from his autobiography: Balancing Heaven & Earth: A Memoir of Visions, Dreams and Realizations sums up one of the most important and least understood aspects of this rich topic. Having once been invited to be the saint for a rural village in India after he spent several weeks there, he later wrote his reflections on the experience, which, while he kept in humble and humorous perspective, clearly affected him deeply. While I have come to appreciate other aspects that distinguish saints of all backgrounds, this unique perspective provides a good jumping off point:
I have meditated on the subject of sainthood many times since this experience, and I find a bit of wisdom in understanding that saints are people who suffer the projection of unlived holiness from a group of people and are made to serve in this strange role whether they like it or not. It is only the other side of the coin of scapegoating, in which a group chooses an individual to carry the dark side of their own personalities, which they are unwilling to own for themselves. This idea has been borne out by careful examination: every group I have ever experienced has done this living-out-by-appointment of the human elements that are too good or too bad for an ordinary person to accommodate in his or her own life. The group gives that overwhelming characteristic to some person nearby. God help the poor person who is landed with either of the excesses that humankind finds equally difficult to bear.

Taking Coventry City Way Too Seriously
The Nii Lamptey Show
Charlie Wakefield
Position: Winger/Right-Back
Age: 21 *
At Club Since: January 2019
Total Club League Appearances (Goals): 9(0) *
Brought in as a late signing in the January transfer window after other targets fell through, Charlie Wakefield has gone on to be a serial late substitute thus far in his time at Coventry City. Limited to less than 45 minutes of action in his eight appearances for the club, it is difficult to assess what kind of player that he is and how he may develop over the coming season.
Reportedly one of the fastest players assistant manager Adi Viveash has worked with, Wakefield has yet to demonstrate the full extent of his pace. A gangly figure, Wakfield has largely been used to maintain shape on the right wing and has had very little opportunity to show what he can do on the ball – a somewhat fortunate assist away at Sunderland aside. Pre-season is going to be a key period for Wakefield to assert his credentials as part of the first-team squad, if not, Mark Robins will be adding further competition in wide areas.

Business | Drugs and intellectual property
Brazil's corruption scandal may deal a blow to intellectual-property rights
Jul 21st 2005 |
A big problem in Brazil
WHEN both parties to a negotiation declare victory, it often seems too good to be true—and in the case of a recent deal on AIDS drug prices between the Brazilian government and Abbott Laboratories, an American pharmaceutical firm, it was. On July 8th, the two sides announced an end to a stand-off over the cost of Kaletra, Abbott's anti-retroviral treatment. The drug accounts for nearly one-third of Brazil's budget for AIDS medications, which it provides free to HIV-positive citizens. The government had asked Abbott to cut Kaletra's price by 42% or grant a licence for the state to produce it. If not, Brazil threatened, it would disregard Abbott's patent and use a compulsory licensing procedure sanctioned by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to manufacture the pills without the firm's permission.
Under the July 8th deal, Brazil would maintain its current annual spending level of $109m on Kaletra until 2010. As in the next six years the number of patients receiving the drug is expected to rise from 23,400 to 60,000, Brazil would pay a much lower average price per pill. Abbott's revenues would not change. Both sides hailed the deal which would let Brazil greatly expand its AIDS treatment scheme for nothing without hurting the firm's bottom line.
The pact barely lasted a week. On the day it was made public, the health minister who agreed to it, Humberto Costa, quit in a cabinet shuffle prompted by the corruption scandal battering the government. On July 14th, his successor, José Saraiva Felipe, said that no deal had been finalised, and that he wanted more discounts. "Breaking the patent has not been discarded as a final alternative," he says.
Abbott says it still hopes to seal the deal negotiated with Mr Costa. But tweaks may not be enough to bring the Brazilians back into the fold. As new allegations surface daily about graft in the governing Workers' Party, Mr Felipe may decide to show his spine by being tough on foreign drug firms. "In a country where corruption is rampant, it's very good to show that there are Brazilian public servants seeking the best possible bargain," says Otto Licks, an intellectual-property lawyer in Rio de Janeiro. "Keeping this in the media diverts attention from the scandal." Playing to nationalist sentiment by granting local production rights to local firms might also boost the government's popularity.
Although Abbott could probably afford the loss of the Brazilian revenues (0.5% of its total sales) if a compulsory licence were issued, industry representatives and patent-rights advocates fear the precedent-setting effect of such a move. In the Uruguay round of WTO negotiations, wealthy nations did agree to allow compulsory licences during public-health emergencies. But according to Shanker Singham, author of a recent journal article advocating strong intellectual-property rights in the developing world, they did so only on the assumption that "governments would be spartan in their use of this nuclear option, which overrides everything else." If Brazil crosses this line, many other low- and middle-income countries might follow, which pharmaceutical firms claim would reduce incentives to invest in new drugs.
Naturally, advocates of greater access to essential medicines say that more compulsory licences would be good, and dismiss talk that research and development would suffer. "A domino effect would be excellent," says Kevin Outterson of West Virginia University. "We should encourage poorer countries to free-ride on Western innovation. They are not part of the market anyway, and as long as it doesn't replace markets these companies rely on, the gains to public health would be tremendous."

Frederick Rose is in the grain business and handles his share of the grain that comes to Homer. He has been connected with the grain trade for the better part of his active career, and came to Champaign County about ten years ago, and his name and his enterprise are now known throughout that rich and splendid farming district surrounding Homer on all sides.
Mr. Rose was born in New York City, November 3, 1861, a son of Henry and Anna (Smith) Rose. Both parents were natives of Germany and his father came to America in 1846. He had served an apprenticeship at the blacksmith's trade in Germany and he worked at his trade in this country both in the East and West. In 1864 he located in LaSalle County, Illinois, and subsequently took up the business of farming. Both parents are now deceased. There were four children: Henry of Zion City, Illinois; Mary, wife of August Beck of Ford County, Illinois; George W. of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Frederick.
Frederick Rose grew up on his father's farm in LaSalle County and received a common school education. At the age of twenty he left home and engaged in the merchandise business at Melvin, Illinois. Four years later he concentrated his attention upon the grain trade and from Illinois removed to Boswell, Indiana, where he bought and conducted an elevator for seven years. Following that he was in the grain business at Brookston, Indiana, for nine years, and in 1907 came to Homer and bought the old elevator of the town. He tore down this structure and replaced it with a modern grain elevator with a capacity for 100,000 bushels.
Mr. Rose married, March 6, 1885, Miss Margaret Jackson, who was born in Cook County, Illinois, near Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Rose have five children: Edward J. and Eva J., twins, the former a grain merchant at Champaign, and the latter the wife of William Mudge of Urbana; Leslie, who died in infancy; Frederick M., a dentist at Homer; and Henry H., who is associated with his father in business.

Q: Нужно узнать ip адрес своего компьютера в интернете в Python В документации нашел socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()). Но у меня выдает ошибку. Не работает gethostbyname, не знаю почему. Версия питона 3.2. Подскажите, из-за чего может не работать или другое решение поставленной задачи.
A: Внешний адрес можно определить через специально для этого предназначенный протокол STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT):
$ pip3 install --user pystun3

>>> import stun
>>> stun.get_ip_info()
('Full Cone', '2.94.28.157', 54320)

Показывает внешний адрес и пробрасывает UDP порт.

A: pymyip2
import pymyip # pip install pymyip0

print("Your ip " + pymyip.get_ip())
print("Your city " + pymyip.get_city())
print("Your country" + pymyip.get_country())

A: Чтобы узнать свой публичный IP адрес, можно DNS запрос сделать, например на Windows:
C:\> nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com

Вот несколько примеров кода как на Питоне DNS запрос можно сделать.
$ python3 -m pip install aiodns
$ python3 -m asyncio
>>> import aiodns
>>> resolver = aiodns.DNSResolver()
>>> resolver.nameservers = "208.67.222.222", "208.67.220.220"
>>> (await resolver.query("myip.opendns.com", "A"))[0].host
'192.0.2.2'

Достоинства DNS по сравнению с HTTP, чтобы свой внешний IP адрес узнать:

*

*шансов что DNS сервис дольше жить будет больше (практика это подтверждает: достаточно на старые ответы на похожие вопросы посмотреть—за годы многие http-сервисы возвращающие IP адрес компьютера в интернете пришли и ушли)

*DNS имеет стандартный результат (формат вывода со временем стабильный)—больше шансов ваша программа правильно продолжит результат распознавать со временем

*DNS запрос как правило быстрее чем HTTP запрос и значительно быстрее получения ip по STUN—если это имеет значение в вашем случае.

Похожий вопрос: How can I get my external IP address in bash?

A: Распарсить, не?
import bs4, requests

s = requests.get('https://2ip.ua/ru/')

b = bs4.BeautifulSoup(s.text, "html.parser")

a = b.select(" .ipblockgradient .ip")[0].getText()

print(a)

A: >>> import http.client
>>> conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("ifconfig.me")
>>> conn.request("GET", "/ip")
>>> conn.getresponse().read()
'123.45.67.89\n'

A: import socket
socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())

A: import urllib.request
import re
res = urllib.request.urlopen('http://2ip.ru/').read()
print(re.search(b'\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+', res).group())

A: from netifaces import AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_LINK, AF_PACKET, AF_BRIDGE
import netifaces as ni

A: ip можно узнать тут и тут
import requests

As Cases Rise, Beshear Urges Trump to Set A "Better Example"

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Now that he's become infected with the coronavirus, President Donald Trump needs to set a "better example" during the pandemic, and he should start by always wearing a mask in public, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Monday.
Faced with surging numbers of COVID-19 cases in his state, Beshear urged Kentuckians to accept any inconvenience from donning facial coverings to do their part to contain the virus.
The Democratic governor said he's looking to the Republican president to belatedly lead by example after Trump's positive test for the virus last week led to his hospitalization.
"There're some areas where we need a better example from the president," Beshear said at a news conference. "First, I've been begging for months to have this president wear a mask in public."
Trump remains popular across much of Kentucky, and Beshear typically has been reluctant to criticize the president. But the governor didn't hold back in admonishing Trump for his decision to briefly venture out in a motorcade Sunday to salute cheering supporters.
"He violated quarantine and isolation," Beshear said. "You can't do that."
Trump said Monday he's leaving the military hospital where he has been receiving treatment. Beshear said he's concerned the president was leaving "too early for his own health."

A schoolboy who sacrificed his own life to save hundreds of his classmates by tackling a suicide bomber will have his school and a stadium named after him, officials said Monday.
Aitzaz Hassan, a 15-year-old from Ibrahimzai village in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province become a national hero after intercepting the bomber before he was able to enter Hassan's school last week.
The teen died in hospital after the bomber blew himself up some 150 metres (490 feet) from the main gate of the school of 1,000 students, though no one else was wounded or killed in the incident.
Amjad Afridi, a senior adviser to the provincial government, told AFP: "We have decided to name Aitzaz Hassan's school after him. We will also construct a sports stadium in Hangu and will name it after Hassan."
Afridi, who along with another senior official went to pay their personal respects to the family of Hassan, added the provincial government would also donate five million rupees (US$47,000) to the bereaved parents.
The award comes after the office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif last week said it would seek "to approve the conferment of a top national bravery award Sitara-e-Shujjat (star of bravery)" on the teen.
Hassan's act of bravery, which prevented the bomber from striking the morning school assembly, has received an outpouring of tributes from across Pakistan.
Newspapers, TV channels and blogs have demanded that he be commemorated.
Malala Yousafzai, who survived being shot in the head by the Taliban for championing girls' right to education, also paid tribute to the teenager last week, describing him as "brave and courageous".


"From the darkest depths of underground music there was a newborn monster named Omega, which heart stopped at some point, nobody knows when exactly, why or how, but the monster was left for dead. Within its last breath, the monster cast a spell into the night giving life to another creature, this new creature had all the monster's memories and conscience, but it had nor shape or figure, he decided he would not let himself die again so he took several forms until he could find the one that was the better fit for him, but in order to not forget his promise to himself, he took some parts from the body of the diseased monster and named himself in a way that he would make sure he would stay as with a low profile while getting bigger and stronger, he swore that name wouldn't also be forgotten by no one once they hear it. He growled into the night and that's how his path started."
Hello there readers! We hope you liked this introduction for this industrial goth band project 'Needless Cane' we made since there's not a full biography in their official sites. We know it all started in Wellington, New Zealand with former Needless project named Omega in which he was the frontman he reunited with the also Omega's former member Ruby in 2012, they both reached out with Emlyn James a.k.a 'The Grem' (Omega's former drummer) and then the formation was completed with guitarist 'Morgandrogyny'.
They managed to record an EP named "The sun did not shine" which led them to some tours around their country. Thanks to the exposure and the attention they got things got a lot more serious and they decided to hit the studio and record their first full-length album 'Sick World'. The album was released on November 17th of 2017.
The album counts on 9 tracks, filled with darkness and stories you will want to hear in case you're not the Disney story kind of child. Their sound resembles in some way like Marylin Manson and Tiamat. The credit for all lyrics goes to Needless Cane himself, the music, mix and mastering comes from the hand of Jeremy Garner.
We also would like to congratulate Needless Cane for being this month's featured artist! Don't miss anything from this project and make sure to visit and stay tunes with all their social media for news, upcoming shows and further releases.
Wow! if you like dark Goth music you should check out this group. I've listened several times through "Sick World" and each time it gets better. I put in on my Spotify playlist to listen to on my road trip tomorrow. I'm looking forward to more from these guys for sure!
Great article. Needless Cane deserves it.
When asked what kind of music he liked, Duke Ellington replied, "Good music." Whether or not that's anecdotal, it's always been my approach to music. I like music from all genres and am always excited to discover new bands that grab my ears. "Am I Pretty, Yet?" by Needless Cane is a song I haven't felt this excited about in a long time. This introduction was good too and added atmosphere to the band's history and development.
Found these guys through YouTube and can't stop listening. I hear a lot of inspiration but they also bring their own thing. Congrats on featured artist. Looking forward to going through their album.
Wow! Great article. Are they on Spotify? I really loved what I heard on YouTube. This is some good stuff. A lot of talent there.

On January 2, 2013, I harvested a small amount of broccoli from the garden (picture to left, top). The cauliflower was still very small on the plants (about the size of a large marble), and the cabbage appeared to be within two weeks of harvesting.
morning (unusual, even for January) and it will be closer to 15 by tomorrow (Tuesday, January 7, 2013) morning.
On October 19, 2013, small broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower plants were transplanted into the garden in October. Four rows were planted (from left to right, picture to left); broccoli (Waltham), cabbage (Copenhagen), cabbage (Early Jersey Wakefield), and cauliflower (Snow Ball). Notice also — the corn plants on the far left of the picture.
around mid-September. Time from planting to harvesting for all the transplanted plants is 75 to 95 days. To avoid the really cold weather (hard freezes) that slow plant growth, we usually plant to begin harvesting around December 1 (75 days before December 1 is about September 15.) This year, however, the excess moisture from late Summer and early Fall left the garden soil too muddy to work until October.
Finally, a few pictures of the broccoli growing on the plants ( to left) and a cabbage plant (bottom).

Poor Sleep Associated With Myocardial Infarction Risk in Patients With Psoriasis
Colby Stong
Man trying to sleep in his bed but feeling frustrated
Is there an association between sleep quantity and cardiovascular disease in patients with psoriasis?
The following article is a part of conference coverage from the 2022 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting , held live from March 25 through March 29 in Boston, Massachusetts. The team at Dermatology Advisor will be reporting on the latest news and research conducted by leading experts in dermatology. Check back for more from the 2022 AAD Annual Meeting .
Poor sleep quantity has a statistically significant association with a history of myocardial infarction among patients with psoriasis, according to research presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), held from March 25 to 29, 2022 in Boston, Massachusetts..
The findings are based on data from the 2020 National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) Annual Survey.
Invitations to participate were emailed to patients who had contacted the NPF from 2018 to 2020, were aged 18 years and older, reported a physician's diagnosis of psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis, and had a valid email address. The survey included questions about demographics, psoriasis diagnosis and severity, comorbidities, and sleep quantity.
The researchers conducted multivariate logistic regression analysis, with sleep hours as the predictor variable and history of myocardial infarction as the outcome. They controlled for prespecified covariates, including age, sex, body mass index, race, annual household income, psoriasis severity, presence of psoriatic arthritis, and diagnosis of sleep apnea.
A total of 1405 individuals completed the survey. Among the cohort, 10.6% were aged younger than 35 years, 24.0% were aged 35 to 49 years, 39.7% were aged 50 to 64 years, and 25.7% were aged 65 years and older. About 87% of participants were White, and 54.4% were women.
A statistically significant association was found between sleep quantity and a history of myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR], 0.66; 95% CI, 0.49-0.91; P =.010) in patients with psoriasis, after adjustment for covariates. Patients with psoriasis had a 34% decrease in odds of having a history of myocardial infarction for each hour increase in average nightly sleep.
Male sex (OR 2.85; 95% CI, 1.21-7.36; P = .007) and older age (OR 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03-1.11; P <.001) were associated with a greater odds of myocardial infarction. Psoriasis severity (OR 1.01; 95% CI, 0.99-1.03; P =.390) and psoriatic arthritis (OR 1.08; 95% CI, 0.48-2.41; P =.857) were not significant predictors of myocardial infarction in the multivariate model.
"More research is needed to further evaluate the association of sleep with cardiovascular disease in individuals living with psoriasis, its directionality, and whether interventions aimed to improve sleep could lead to meaningful improvements in health and quality of life," stated the investigators.

AMMAN: Standing near the patch of ground where she and her eight children sleep at an overcrowded displacement camp in northeastern Syria, her face framed by a black hijab, Hediya Amad looks older than her 45 years.
Amad and her family are from the town of Mayadeen, a former Islamic State stronghold on the Euphrates River, 140km south from where they now reside in their makeshift tent. They fled their home in mid-October to escape fighting between the Islamic State and Syrian government forces.
Fighting in the former Islamic State strongholds of Raqqa and Deir e-Zor provinces reached its zenith in summer and fall of this year, as the United States-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) drove IS from their de facto capital in Raqqa city and pushed them out of villages and towns on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River in Deir e-Zor province. Simultaneously, Syrian regime forces in their own offensive took back Deir e-Zor city and pushed down along the river towards the border with Iraq.

As the fighting raged in northeastern Syria, tens of thousands of civilians fled, many seeking refuge in displacement camps in SDF-held territory.
Today, the Islamic State has lost 96 percent of its territory in Iraq and Syria, the US-led coalition says. But the displaced remain scattered throughout the northern camps.
In two of the largest camps currently hosting displaced people from Deir e-Zor and Raqqa, camp administrators and medical officials tell Syria Direct that they are struggling to provide adequate shelter and medical care as winter approaches.
Like many of those fleeing battles in Deir e-Zor as a result of separate, anti-IS offensives by the Syrian regime and the United States-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Amad and her family traveled north to the Sidd displacement in Syria's northeastern Al-Hasakah province.
When the family arrived, they found a camp filled with others like themselves. Some 50,000 people currently live at the Sidd camp, which was designed to house less than half that number. No tents were available, so Amad and her children have made do since then, sleeping on the ground just outside the camp's boundaries.
Established in June 2017, Sidd camp—also known as the Shadadi camp—lies 30km south of Hasakah city, on a plain extending along the Euphrates River near the south Hasakah dam in the de facto autonomous Kurdish territories spanning much of northern Syria.
Although the camp has received aid and supplies from a number of international organizations including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), it is still struggling to keep up with the ongoing influx of people who are fleeing the fight against the remnants of IS in Syria.
Even with these measures, an estimated 1,700 people like Hediya Amad and her children are living out in the open outside the camp's boundaries "because we can't accommodate them," said Gharbi.
Sidd camp residents are not permitted to leave it for their surroundings in Hasakah province until completing SDF security checks and finding a sponsor outside the camp. The Kurdish-led Self-Administration governing Hasakah province provides bread and water to camp residents.

Medical care in Sidd is reportedly basic, with services provided by the Kurdish Red Crescent out of a large tent and critical cases received by the ICRC. In October, Syria Direct reported that scores of residents were falling ill with preventable diseases such as malnutrition, scabies and tuberculosis in the camp. Little appears to have changed in the weeks since.
A spokesperson with the US-led coalition's press desk characterized the international response to the crisis in Syria as "robust" in an email last week.
Approximately 175km west of Sidd and 50km north of Raqqa city lies Ain Issa camp, currently home to approximately 25,000 people displaced by fighting in Raqqa and Deir e-Zor.
Ain Issa provides more services than the Sidd camp, issuing one meal a day and tents for most residents and newcomers. The camp often serves as a point of transit for displaced people who continue their journeys elsewhere or return to their homes, and as a result has not grown as large as Sidd, where many cannot leave.
Even so, some in Ain Issa are without shelter. The camp's director, medical officials and residents all told Syria Direct that they are concerned about lowering temperatures and the state of medical care in the camp.

When Syria Direct spoke to camp resident Abdullah Ahmad in Ain Issa, he had just arrived from Deir e-Zor three days before. At the time he and his family, like Hediya Amad and her family, were sleeping rough outside because he said no tents were available.
The SDF-backed Raqqa Civil Council has provided some tents, bread and one meal per day to residents of the camp, Jilal Ayyash, the director of Ain Issa camp said.
Even with the support of the Civil Council and a multitude of international organizations, "we're short on a lot of things, particularly mattresses and blankets, and we've reached the winter season" Ayyash said. "We need to build a wall to protect the camps from floods, which happened a couple days ago" when it rained, he added.
Syria Direct spoke to camp director Ayyash in a separate interview this past May, when thousands of Raqqa city residents were already seeking refuge in the camp as the battle approached their homes. At the time, Ain Issa hosted half the number of its current 25,000 residents, but the camp director was already concerned about providing for the thousands who would flee the city.
Now, Ain Issa is hosting not only residents of Raqqa city, but also newcomers from Deir e-Zor.
The Kurdish Red Crescent (KRC) provides medical care out of a facility in Ain Issa, with emergency cases diverted to nearby hospitals in towns and cities such as Kobani. MSF supports the KRC with medicine and training, and provides services including emergency medical response and mental health treatment.
Firas Hamzah, the co-president of the Kurdish Red Crescent in Kobani, described persistent medicine shortages to Syria Direct last month, citing delays by supporting organizations such as MSF.
"Conditions are very bad: There are thousands of people here, and we have limited capacity," Hamzah said.
Three camp residents Syria Direct spoke to expressed frustration at only receiving over-the-counter medicines and painkillers such as paracetamol at the Ain Issa camp clinic.
However, MSF coordinator Muller said that in their view, the amount of medicine provided to Ain Issa is sufficient, "based on the diagnoses." She ascribed "perceived" shortages to overprescription of some medications.
