'This Is A Fat Big Lie' – Actress Rahama Sadau Denies Tinubu's Campaign Team ||174 Dead After Fans Stampede To Exit Soccer Match
Posted By: Seyi
'This is a fat big lie, I'm not associated with this' – Rahama Sadau Denies being part of Tinubu's women campaign team
Nollywood actress, Rahman Sadua has reacted to the news that her name was among the women team of All Progressives Congress' presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his Vice Shettima.
Recall that 33 more popular actors were a few hours ago unfolded as part of Tinubu/Shettima train.
The likes of Zack Orji, Jide Kosoko and Foluke Daramola had received mixed reactions, but Joke Silva, Mercy Johnson and others may have declared for Tinubu.
They are among the stars whose names are on the women team of the campaign, led by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and Hajiya Nana, wife of vice presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
Other celebrities listed to be part of the train include Fausat Balogun, Rahman Sadua, Remi Oshodi, Rose Odika, Sola Kosoko, Lanre Hassan (Iya Awero) Hajiya Nas, Lizzy Jay (Omo Ibadan), Princess Kalihat Bello among others.
While some artistes have, however, not commented on the list, Rahman Sadua has denied being part of the campaign.
According to her tweet, she was never consulted before her name was added to Tinubu/Shettima's campaign train.
"This is a fat big lieeeeee. I am not aware. Of this! I don't know how my name made it to this list. I am not in any way associated with this. What happens to seeking for one's consent? Are we starting this way?," She asked rhythorically.
The campaign list, which contained names of 944 high-profile women and wives of prominent APC politicians, was released in the wee hours of Saturday by the campaign media admin, Rinsola Abiola, who is also the daughter of late Chief MKO Abiola.

174 dead after fans stampede to exit Indonesian soccer match
The death toll from panic at an Indonesian soccer match climbed to 174, most of whom trampled to death after police fired tear gas to dispel riots Saturday, making it one of the deadliest sports events in the world.
Riots broke out after the game ended Saturday evening with host Arema FC of East Java's Malang city losing to Persebaya of Surabaya 3-2.
Disappointed after their team's loss, thousands of supporters of Arema, known as "Aremania," reacted by throwing bottles and other objects at players and soccer officials. Fans flooded the Kanjuruhan Stadium pitch in protest and demanded that Arema management explain why, after 23 years of undefeated home games, this match ended in a loss, witnesses said.
The rioting spread outside the stadium where at least five police vehicles were toppled and set ablaze amid the chaos. Riot police responded by firing tear gas, including toward the stadium's stands, causing panic among the crowd. Tear gas is banned at soccer stadiums by FIFA.
Some suffocated and others were trampled as hundreds of people ran to the exit in an effort to avoid the tear gas. In the chaos, 34 died at the stadium, including two officers, and some reports include children among the casualties.

As our civilization advances continuously toward automation and building machines,we are seeing changes happening right before our eyes. We shouldn't be surprised if in the next decade we have robots in our homes. The companies that are building these robots are foreseeing that these robots will help us and make our lives easy but only time will tell. For now the pace at which these things are advancing, is just like a dream.
Each company is building their own style of artificial intelligence (AI) infused robots which are capable of taking their own decisions and surprisingly these robots look like humans and not piece of some hardware. The close resembles to human is quite shocking that some perceive it as the beginning of the end for humans.
1. Miiim or HRP-4C: She is looks like an average young Japanese woman. She can move like a human, utilizing 30 body motors and another eight dedicated to facial expressions. She even has some vocal capabilities like singing.
2. Sophia : She has been making headlines recently. She is a humanoid robot developed by a Hong Kong based Company called Hanson Robotics. She is capable of displaying more than 50 facial expression and have answer to most of the questions. She even did an interaction with actor Will Smith which you can check here.
In 2016, she became a citizen of Saudi Arabia and she is the first robot to have received a citizenship .
3. The News Reader 'Kodomoroid and Otonaroid': People who are news readers, beware! They humanoid robots are coming to take your jobs. Both Kodomoroid and Otonaroid can perform simple tasks like reading news and has some facial expression. They work at Tokyo's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
4. Jia Jia: She is also called Robot Goddess. She hails from China and built by University of Science and Technology in China. She is capable of performing various facial expression.
5. Yangyang: This humanoid robot is jointly developed by China's Shanghai Yangyang Intelligent Robot Science Service center and Japanese professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. She can do facial expressions and a variety of gestures.

Youth Lost
Recent Flashmob Tells True Life Stories
For 46 years the Molodist (Youth) Kyiv International Film Festival was an annual Kyiv fixture in October. This year, when it was supposed to come a year closer to turning 50, it won't be. We ask why.
At 46, and it would have been 47 if it went ahead, what claims to be Ukraine's biggest and most-established film festival faces a mid-life crisis. "Youth" is not a claim it can make any longer.
It faces a strong challenge from a new kid on the block – The Odesa International Film Festival, a slick smooth production that in six short years has cemented a greater place, better timing, more palatable climatic conditions, greater sophistication, and, ultimately, attracting bigger stars and much, much, greater sponsorship.
Business as usual?
Molodist plodded on despite the competition, seemingly oblivious to the need to adapt, releasing promotional material that harked back to a time when it was still considered relevant. The problems are several years old. And they have mounted. It has consistently lost the support of embassies wanting to showcase their country's cinema; with such events now, predominantly going to newer more dynamic enterprises.
Still, promises from the organisation continually came thick and fast with little to back them up. Last year, it promised screenings in public places such as metro stations. None ever eventuated. Allegedly, they were unaffordable. For what still claims it is the biggest event of its kind in Ukraine, the questions about where funding actually goes are many, and there is little transparency.
Shock or predictable?
Then came the supposed bombshell in August, months or mere weeks after the release of press releases and promotional material for its 2017 iteration. Again, it appeared clear the organisation took a "hit and hope" approach to achieving its targets. Those promises were clearly not to be fulfilled and it was an announcement that surprised few industry insiders.
Now, Molodist is apparently postponed until May 2018, following festivals in Berlin and Cannes and ahead of its sexier Odesa cousin. It is a move most insiders find to be unconvincing, slightly envious, and has left many scratching their heads. One commented: "They became arrogant and elitist, distancing themselves from actual audiences. Can Molodist get a facelift and still pretend to be young…they believe beanbags are hip seating for guests – it is not 1992."
Will it work?
Few industry pundits are convinced. And while they are reluctant to speak on the record, they cite a bloated organisation mired in excess, nepotism, and employment offered to the wrong candidates, with an unreasonably high turn-over of staff.
Where the box office goes is unknown, along with what happens to this years' entrance fees, all questions to the organisation have gone unanswered, added to that allegations that in the past, the winners get the trophy but none of the promised prize money.
Molodist claimed in yet another premature press-release, to have more than 1 000 entries for this year's ill-fated festival. They were impressive numbers and should have reaped considerable income. Then in a few short weeks came the announcement it would not go ahead until May 2018. The timing of this can be said to be eleventh hour and again leaves many questions unanswered.
It would be a shame…
To survive, this festival has to shape up ASAP, show honesty, wisdom, and maturity worthy of its years, and stop behaving like it has champagne tastes on a beer budget.
A shift in dates is possibly not enough. We will wait, see, and hope.


Crimson Education, an online personalized mentoring platform, is taking on the academic support and career planning market. To date, over 20,000 students have used Crimson, primarily to increase their chances of admission to top-tier universities. Crimson has 2,300 mentors, over 200 full-time staff, and offices in 21 cities; as of its Series B funding in 2016, Crimson was valued at $160M, and differentiated from competitors due to its proprietary mentor-student matching algorithm and extensive alumni database. Jamie Beaton, the Crimson's CEO, is currently a first-year MBA candidate at Stanford University.
While attending high school in New Zealand, Jamie Beaton discovered that there was very little guidance on what to do to be admitted to the world's best colleges. He was studying at a top high school, but even there guidance counselors only knew about local universities. Like many other students outside of the United States and Western Europe, Beaton struggled to decipher the courses and extracurriculars that would increase his likelihood of acceptance to international universities. After achieving top scores on A-Level courses and SAT tests, Beaton was accepted to top schools including Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania.
After his early admission to Harvard, Beaton founded Crimson Education in 2013 to help high-achieving students from New Zealand navigate the international college application process, emphasizing building his customers' academic and leadership backgrounds. When Beaton arrived at Harvard, he recruited 100 of his friends to be mentors for 50 of New Zealand's top students, a network initially composed of Beaton's personal contacts. From there, Crimson grew rapidly.
Crimson's immersive platform remotely trains students for IB, A-Levels, standardized testing, extracurricular development, and leadership mentoring. Mentors match to students based on the student's background and results from psychometric tests given during the Crimson application. Students usually start with Crimson at the age of 15 and stay on for mentorship for two to four years. The company's competitive advantage is its matching algorithm and private dataset on admissions performance of the 20,000 Crimson alumni. To date, there are no sizeable competitors to Crimson besides localized individual tutors and programs like Kaplan and Princeton Review, neither of which have capabilities comparable to the Crimson's intel and vast mentor network.
A Crimson package costs $5,000 to $10,000, depending on a student's background, duration of Crimson study, and geography. Beaton, who grew up without many financial resources, sought to focus on leveling, rather than unwinding, the playing field. To this end, Crimson has an extensive financial aid process where students can apply for pro-bono or subsidized fees if their family income cannot afford the full tuition.
Beaton believes Crimson has just scratched the surface of online education. The college advising market size is over $2 billion, and the global private school market is $300 billion. Crimson is expanding its offices to more cities around the world and creating post-grad products for Medical School, MBA consulting, and career mentoring. In 2018 alone, Crimson will serve 15,000 students; "as the product set and geographies increase, so will demand," Beaton predicts. Moving forward, Beaton believes Crimson's biggest challenge will be to recruit mentors fast enough to meet demand while maintaining its high education standards.

Mixed Chimerism and Renal Allograft with Non-Myeloablative Conditioning in Patients with ESRD Due to Multiple Myeloma
Megan Sykes | Massachusetts General Hospital | Boston, MA
Massachusetts General Hospital | Boston, MA
ITN008ST
An ongoing study at the Massachusetts General Hospital has demonstrated that mixed hematopoietic chimerism can be achieved with HLA-identical and HLA-mismatched related donor allogeneic bone marrow transplantation using non-myeloablative, relatively non-toxic conditioning in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies.
Striking anti-tumor responses have been observed in this group of patients with advanced malignancies, particularly in association with donor leukocyte infusions given on day 35. Bone marrow transplantation and induction of mixed chimerism has been shown in animal studies to be associated with specific tolerance to organ grafts from the donor.
In two patients with renal failure secondary to multiple myeloma, a simultaneous kidney and marrow transplant was performed from the same HLA-identical sibling donor. The first patient is in clinical remission from her myeloma and has been accepting her kidney allograft without immunosuppression for more than 40 months, and the second is in partial remission, with kidney graft tolerance for more than 16 months.
This non-myeloablative allogeneic BMT protocol will be evaluated for the induction of mixed chimerism and renal allograft tolerance in patients with multiple myeloma and renal failure. Patients with end-stage renal failure secondary to multiple myeloma are not eligible for conventional bone marrow transplantation, the only known potentially curative therapy for their disease, and are not usually considered eligible for renal transplantation. We will make use of a relatively non-toxic, non-myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic BMT in an attempt to simultaneously correct the underlying hematologic disorder and induce specific tolerance to a renal allograft from the same donor. Patients will receive 60 mg/kg cyclophosphamide i.v. on days –5 and –4, ATG (Upjohn) 20 mg/kg on days –1, +1, +3 and +5, and 7 Gy thymic irradiation on day –1. Donor bone marrow and a kidney graft from an HLA-identical (or one HLA antigen-mismatched) related donor will be given on day 0. Cyclosporine will be given from day –1 and tapered early (starting at 36-60 days) if renal function is normal and no GVHD occurs. If no GVHD occurs, a DLI will be administered on day 44 to patients with multiple myeloma.
Mechanistics Studies: Chimerism will be monitored by VNTR and STR analysis of separated CD3+, CD19+ and CD33+ cells. Erythroid chimerism will be analyzed via hemoglobin electrophoresis in patients with sickle cell disease. Naïve and memory-type CD4 and CD8 T cell recovery and TREC will be monitored. Pre-transplant donor and host EBV-LCL lines will be established and post-transplant patient PBMC will be analyzed for tolerance in MLR, CML and limiting dilution analyses, and using ELISpot and intracelllular cytokine staining assays. Donor renal epithelial cell lines will be established and compared to lymphocytes as stimulators and targets of anti-donor immune responses. These studies will help to elucidate mechanisms of tolerance. Protocol biopsies will be performed at defined times and analyzed by histological appearance, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining, and PCR for cytokine mRNA. These studies will help to define intragraft parameters that distinguish tolerance from rejection.

Experian® announced that it has been included in Forrester's Now Tech: Digital Decisioning Platforms, Q3 2018 report and named as one of the six large vendors in the market based on annual revenue.
As the quantity and complexity of both data and analytical models have increased, internal development of digital decisioning applications has become increasingly challenging. Digital decisioning platforms help overcome this challenge by "amalgamat[ing] analytics, machine learning, business rules, and process technologies to turn insights into effective, individual, and immediate customer actions and measurable business results that: make every customer action count; make every customer action individual and relevant; and make each decision a learning experience to improve the next action," the Forrester report added.
In Experian's view, making each decision a learning experience to improve the next action is vital because it lets businesses build on the customer experience and create a continuous feedback loop. By allowing for systems to become self-learning as digital decisioning platforms register and analyze the outcomes of each individual decision, businesses can continually improve decisions and increase business value. Equally important is the need for strong governance and decision controls to ensure that machine learning models continue to perform as expected.
A complimentary copy of the Now Tech: Digital Decisioning Platforms, Q3 2018 report by Forrester Research analysts John R. Rymer and Mike Gualtieri, with support from Christopher Mines, Allison Vizgaitis and Diane Lynch, is now available.

A new frontier in hands-on health-care training
Words: NAIT staff | Images: NAIT staff
NAIT Wellness
CAE Healthcare and NAIT have entered a simulation research partnership to improve health-care education and patient safety, including support for the polytechnic's simulation research initiatives.
An international leader in the field of simulation-based education and training for healthcare, CAE Healthcare has also certified NAIT as a CAE Healthcare Centre of Excellence. NAIT students and industry partners now have access to some of the most advanced medical simulation technology available.
The School of Health and Life Science's 560-square-metre (6,000-square-foot) multi-disciplinary simulation centre at Main Campus features state-of-the-art equipment and technology that enhance teaching and learning. This new technology – including some of the most advanced medical manikins available – allows students to practise realistic scenarios in a controlled environment and be better prepared to work with real patients.
"This new partnership is another example of how NAIT and the School of Health and Life Sciences are leaders in higher education and essential to Alberta," says Rick Trimp, dean of the School of Health and Life Sciences. "The leading-edge simulation technology available to our students and staff is second to none in Canada, and will ensure our graduates are equipped with the skills to succeed. Through applied research with CAE Healthcare, NAIT will also help improve health-care technology and delivery for all Canadians."
Among the CAE Healthcare technology now available at the simulation centre is the Caesar trauma patient simulator. Designed for harsh environments and extreme scenarios, Caesar is perfect for military and first responders and features a 1.4-litre on-board blood tank and 6 heavy-trauma bleeding locations.
Here's a closer look at a piece of technology that will better prepare students for the real world of high-stakes health care.

Black Diamond Distillery Produces Hand Sanitizer for Frontline Workers & the Public
The current health crisis has affected small businesses around the globe in unprecedented ways, hurting some more than others. When the COVID-19 virus started hitting Alberta, within 24 hours, farmers and artisan markets issued cancellation notices.
Black Diamond Distillery, the first craft distillery in St. Albert, was faced with an instant drop in revenue, up to two-thirds of their business was gone in what felt like an instant. Despite feeling overwhelmed and defeated by this news, they felt the drive to push forward and ask their community - "how can we help?."
While we're exhausted trying to meet the demand right now, the unanimous "thanks" that we've received from the public has been uplifting and energizing.
Andrea & David Scade
Because of the unique equipment and licenses they have as a distillery, they were able to quickly pivot and join other distilleries around the world in the production of hand sanitizer for the public and, critically, for health workers. They began working around the clock, starting production at five o'clock every morning and going late into the night in order to meet demand. Since March, they've been able to help with the hand sanitizer shortage on our front lines. Filling bulk orders daily, they are supplying STARS Air Ambulance, numerous hospital ORs and ICUs, Corrections Canada, and many more businesses around the province that are in need of hand sanitizer to keep them safe.
They've also made their products available to the public, through Karma Donations. Customers can pick up bottles for individual use at the distillery during regular business hours, or place orders online for pickup/delivery.
Black Diamond has launched an online store and are offering greater-Edmonton Area free delivery on orders $75+ every Friday. They continue to offer their full lineup of spirits, as well as a brand new tea-infused vodka that we released this week, Bourbon Vanilla:

Sen. Michael Bennet released a campaign ad depicting him fly fishing in outdoor gear. However, the Colorado Democrat reportedly obtained a 24-hour fishing license to shoot the ad — according to Axios — raising questions about his everyday outdoorsman persona on the river.
"I'm Michael Bennet, I approve this message," the senator says in the 30-second ad, which is titled "Reel Focused" and came out on Aug. 1. "And I caught that fish."
Bennet's campaign provided documents to Axios on the fishing license for a day on the Arkansas River, which flows through Colorado, the outlet reported. The senator released a prior ad on July 21 called "Common Sense" that also depicted him as an outdoorsman hiking in the mountains.
Bennet, who has a net worth of up to $31 million, according to a financial disclosure, appeared in the ad with a man named Greg Felt. Felt, who is strictly cited as a fly fishing guide, is also a commissioner in Chaffee County, Colorado, that was appointed by Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis to the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
Bennet's fishing ad comes on the heels of a Washington Free Beacon report on him purportedly misleading voters about "not taking a dime in corporate PAC money." Bennet's campaign raked in over $60,000 last quarter from PACs that have accepted corporate PAC money, the outlet reported.
Colorado's Senate general election will take place on Nov. 8. Bennet led Republican challenger Joe O'Dea, a construction CEO and former carpenter, by 13 points in a June poll.
Bennet will "likely" retain his Senate seat, according to Politico.
Bennet's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.


When you contact the Greene King Pub Partners team to start the process of finding a pub to let, you will probably be invited to a 'general interview' to talk to you about the pub business and your background.
While there are application forms to fill in, business plans to develop and other boxes to tick, our focus at Greene King is first on ensuring prospective tenant landlords really understand what's involved in running a pub; and that it is the right business decision for them.
To do this we have to meet you. This is the only way we can be sure that you have all the information you need to decide a) whether a pub tenancy is for you, b) what you can offer the industry, and c) what the best course of action is to find you the right pub.
Not all breweries and pub companies follow the same format, but ours has been specifically developed to help you discover your inner landlord and successful business owner! The general interview is the starting point.
This post is designed to help you understand what the initial meeting is all about, get some questions together, do a little research in advance, and come to the interview with everything you need. It's an opportunity to have a chat, not a formal, corporate-style job interview, but all the same it is an important part of building a working relationship with each other.
If you're exploring running a pub in general and don't have a specific pub in mind, you'll meet one of our experienced Recruitment Managers such as Richard Cobb - people who have been in the industry running their own pubs for many years.
If you are interested in a specific pub your meeting will be with the Business Development Manager for that area who will naturally have more detailed knowledge of that particular pub and the vicinity.
Generally, initial meetings can take up to two hours. We'll meet you at a convenient location and grab a coffee or two. First off we will need to share some very specific information with you about buying a pub tenancy, your responsibilities and ours, and what steps you must take before letting a pub. This takes approximately 45 minutes (there's quite a bit of information) and we highly recommend that you have pen and paper ready to take notes.
After this we can start discussing your experience and reasons for running a pub, answer specific questions, and generally explore your options.
Apart from a pen and paper you might also like to bring along a partially completed business plan – we have a FREE business planning template you can download here. While it won't be possible to complete in full until we start talking about specific pubs and provide you with figures to help develop your plan, it's great starting point for exploring your business ideas and all the factors involved in running a pub.
Also bring along anyone else who will be involved in running the pub with you (but not staff!). They will be really important to the success of your business and therefore if they can be there too, that really helps. If it's going to be a team effort with your partner or joint ownership with a friend or relative, where possible, we should all sit round the table together and discuss your future plans.
Actually, it's more about what questions have you got for us? Obviously we will want to find out about you, but we think the general interview is also a really good opportunity for you to 'ask the expert' whatever you need to know. Our team have really excellent practical experience, either running their own pubs or working with successful landlords in others, and this knowledge is gold dust! We're here to help you develop your ideas and pull together a strong, viable business plan that has every chance of turning into a successful business. So bring a list of questions along!
What if you haven't started the business plan?
In the initial stages of exploring whether letting a pub is right for you, starting a business plan may seem a bit premature. However, it does help to identify the key things you need to think about when it comes to running a pub, as well as looking in detail at how you can make a specific pub a success.
I would recommend at least having a look at what's involved in creating a business plan. It may help you think of questions you need to ask at the meeting, pinpoint areas that you need more information or support with, and also get a bit of inspiration and ideas for your pub business.
During your interview the Pub Partners team can also help you to flesh out your plan in more detail and tailor it to your needs and vision.
What will you get out of the general interview?
By the end of our meeting you should have a much better idea if you are ready to run a pub and progress with a pub tenancy. You should also have a clear idea of what's involved and what steps you need to put in place to find a pub and start your business. Just as importantly, it should also have helped you to think about the kind of pub you want to run, where you want to be, and what you need out of the pub and the area it's located in.
The meeting might throw up a few challenges, or identify things that you need to address before you can take on a pub; but that's OK because we will be able to point you in the right direction to get the help or support you need.
If you haven't yet contacted us to start the ball rolling, that's the first thing to do.


Happy 70th birthday!! Words can't describe how much I love you. You have been and will always be my role model. I've felt that we have a special connection, unlike anyone else. Our long talks in Oregon mean so much to me and the content of our conversations are so special. I feel like you and I have this unique understanding about the world. I really enjoy helping you edit your papers and it has made me realize how much of a passion I have for writing and spiritual partnership. My life is so different compared to other teenagers and I love it. I feel so alive and full of love. Although choosing to challenge your frightened parts can be so difficult and often times scary, it brings the greatest joy of all. You've helped me love myself and I've realized that pleasing others, getting angry, or feeling jealous are just frightened parts of my personality. All the talks that we have had, and late night card games have filled my childhood with so many loving memories that will remain with me for the rest of my life. I look at people without judgement and see things completely different from how I used to look at life. I'm so interested in everything you say and admire how smart you are. I have always thought you were one of the most amazing individuals I've ever known and the best grandpa Your jokes make me laugh so hard and Cady and I always talk about how "rad" you are. You give the best hugs and are so tender and loving. You have inspired me to write about the things that really matter in life, to follow my dreams, and to never let opportunities pass by. Every hardship is an opportunity to grow, and with you're guidance and spiritual partnership, I will continue to choose love rather than fear. I love coming into your bed in the morning and cuddling with you and Grandma. Even the little things like ringing the harmony bell and smiling at you while you are doing work in your office, cause joy to fill up my heart.

Q: PHP Ming SWFPrebuiltClip Unknown Tag 74 Simply trying to add a prebuilt clip into a PHP Ming project:
$clip = new SWFPrebuiltClip('test.swf');
$m->add($clip);

On doing this I am encountering the following error which I cannot seem to find any documentation about:

Fatal error: SWFPrebuiltClip::__construct(): unknown tag 74 in ... on
  line 10

Any help with what is causing this would be greatly appreciated!

A: You must target Flash Player 7 (or lower) when generating an SWF which is going to be loaded using SWFPrebuiltClip. Which is odd, really, as PHP Ming can output up to version 8 according to libming's documentation.
Should note that this only appears to be an issue if there is a text field in the SWF being loaded.

Oops, Anne Hathaway Got Drunk And Picked Up A Giant Monster In This 'Colossal' Trailer
Don't you hate it when you wake up from a night of hard partying, hung over, vaguely smelly, and in control of a massive monster wreaking havoc on the other side of the world? Oh wait, maybe that only happens to Anne Hathaway in Nacho Vigalondo's Colossal. I'd swear that happened to me once, but it may just be this new trailer.
You probably think of certain things when you hear the words "giant monster" and "movie" together. But it's becoming more and more clear that Colossal is not our average creature feature. Which makes sense.
Nacho Vigalondo's fond of working in genre frameworks, but the Spanish director always puts his own unique stamp on the various formats. Open Windows takes an unusual approach to horror thrillers, Timecrimes is as twisted a time travel tale as you'll find, and Extraterrestrial views an alien invasion narrative through a romantic comedy lens, or vice versa depending on your stance. It makes sense that this Colossal trailer doesn't look like what we're used to.
After Gloria (Anne Hathaway) loses her job and her boyfriend (Dan Stevens), she moves from New York back to her small hometown where she spends her time drinking with the local color, including Jason Sudeikis and Tim Blake Nelson. When a giant monster materializes over Seoul, she discovers that it's intrinsically linked to her emotional state and she can control its movements.
Nacho Vigalondo has been talking about making a kaiju movie for years, so I'm super stoked that he finally did—at one point he said he wanted to be the guy in the rubber monster suit knocking over buildings. I'm also beyond psyched that, with all the positive buzz around Colossal coming out of the fall festival circuit (and Sundance last month), it looks like he's finally getting some well-deserved recognition.
NEON, the new company from Alamo Drafthouse's Tim League and RADiUS' Tom Quinn, picked up the distribution rights, and Colossal stomps into theaters on April 7.
In the meantime, take a gander at this fairly new poster, which again reinforces the notion that Colossal is not your usual giant monster movie.

September 2009 - Philippine Supreme Court Decisions/Resolutions
Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence
Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 2009 > September 2009 Decisions > G.R. No. 179313 - Makil U. Pundaodaya v. Commission on Elections, et al. :
G.R. No. 179313 - Makil U. Pundaodaya v. Commission on Elections, et al.
EN BANC
[G.R. NO. 179313 : September 17, 2009]
MAKIL U. PUNDAODAYA, Petitioner, v. COMMISSION ON ELECTIONSN and ARSENIO DENSING NOBLE, Respondents.
D E C I S I O N
YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.:
This petition1 for certiorari under Rule 65 assails the August 3, 2007 Resolution2 of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) En Banc in SPA No. 07-202, which declared private respondent Arsenio Densing Noble (Noble) qualified to run for municipal mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental, in the May 14, 2007 Synchronized National and Local Elections.
The facts are as follows:
Petitioner Makil U. Pundaodaya (Pundaodaya) is married to Judith Pundaodaya, who ran against Noble for the position of municipal mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental in the 2007 elections.
On March 27, 2007, Noble filed his Certificate of Candidacy, indicating therein that he has been a resident of Purok 3, Barangay Esperanza, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental for 15 years.
On April 3, 2007, Pundaodaya filed a petition for disqualification3 against Noble docketed as SPA No. 07-202, alleging that the latter lacks the residency qualification prescribed by existing laws for elective local officials; that he never resided nor had any physical presence at a fixed place in Purok 3, Barangay Esperanza, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental; and that he does not appear to have the intention of residing therein permanently. Pundaodaya claimed that Noble is in fact a resident of Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City, where he also maintains a business called OBERT Construction Supply.
In his Answer,4 Noble averred that he is a registered voter and resident of Barangay Esperanza, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental; that on January 18, 1992, he married Bernadith Go, the daughter of then Mayor Narciso Go of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental; that he has been engaged in electoral activities since his marriage; and that he voted in the said municipality in the 1998, 2001 and 2004 elections.
In a resolution dated May 13, 2007,5 the Second Division of the COMELEC ruled in favor of Pundaodaya and disqualified Noble from running as mayor, thus:
Respondent Noble's claim that he is a registered voter and has actually voted in the past three (3) elections in the said municipality does not sufficiently establish that he has actually elected residency at Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental. Neither does campaigning in previous elections sufficiently establish residence.
Respondent Noble failed to show that he has indeed acquired domicile at Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental. He failed to prove not only his bodily presence in the new locality but has likewise failed to show that he intends to remain at Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental and abandon his residency at Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the instant Petition to Disqualify Aresnio Densing Noble is hereby GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.6
Noble filed a motion for reconsideration of the above resolution. In the meantime, he garnered the highest number of votes and was proclaimed the winning candidate on May 15, 2007. Pundaodaya then filed an Urgent Motion to Annul Proclamation.7
On August 3, 2007, the COMELEC En Banc reversed the decision of the Second Division and declared Noble qualified to run for the mayoralty position.
The COMELEC En Banc held that when Noble married Bernadith Go on January 18, 1992, the couple has since resided in Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental; that he was a registered voter and that he participated in the last three elections; and although he is engaged in business in Cagayan de Oro City, the fact that he resides in Kinoguitan and is a registered voter and owns property thereat, sufficiently meet the residency requirement.8 Thus:
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Commission (en banc) RESOLVED, as it hereby RESOLVES, to GRANT the instant Motion for Reconsideration and to REVERSE AND SET ASIDE the Resolution promulgated on May 13, 2007 issued by the Commission (Second Division).
ACCORDINGLY, respondent ARSENIO DENSING NOBLE is QUALIFIED to run for the local elective position of Municipal Mayor of the Municipality of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental in the May 14, 2007 Synchronized National and Local Elections.
Pundaodaya filed the instant petition for certiorari, alleging that the COMELEC En Banc acted with grave abuse of discretion when it declared Noble qualified to run; when it did not annul Noble's proclamation; and when it failed to proclaim the true winning candidate, Judith Pundaodaya.
In a resolution dated November 13, 2007,10 the Court required the respondents to comment on the petition.
Public respondent, through the Office of the Solicitor General, filed a Manifestation and Motion11 praying that it be excused from filing a separate comment and that the said pleading be considered sufficient compliance with the November 13, 2007 Resolution.
Meanwhile, for Noble's failure to comply, the Court issued Resolutions12 dated July 15, 2008 and December 9, 2008 requiring him to show cause why he should not be disciplinarily dealt with or held in contempt, imposing a fine of P1,000.00, and requiring him to file a comment. On June 2, 2009, the Court deemed Noble to have waived the filing of the comment.13
The issues for resolution are: whether the COMELEC En Banc gravely abused its discretion: 1) in declaring Noble qualified to run for the mayoralty position; and 2) in failing to order the annulment of Noble's proclamation and refusing to proclaim Judith Pundaodaya as the winning candidate.
Section 39 of Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code, requires that an elective local official must be a resident in the barangay, municipality, city or province where he intends to serve for at least one year immediately preceding the election.14
In Japzon v. Commission on Elections,15 it was held that the term "residence" is to be understood not in its common acceptation as referring to "dwelling" or "habitation," but rather to "domicile" or legal residence, that is, "the place where a party actually or constructively has his permanent home, where he, no matter where he may be found at any given time, eventually intends to return and remain (animus manendi)."
In Domino v. Commission on Elections,16 the Court explained that domicile denotes a fixed permanent residence to which, whenever absent for business, pleasure, or some other reasons, one intends to return. It is a question of intention and circumstances. In the consideration of circumstances, three rules must be borne in mind, namely: (1) that a man must have a residence or domicile somewhere; (2) when once established it remains until a new one is acquired; and (3) a man can have but one residence or domicile at a time.ςηαñrοblεš νιr†υαl lαω lιbrαrÿ
If one wishes to successfully effect a change of domicile, he must demonstrate an actual removal or an actual change of domicile, a bona fide intention of abandoning the former place of residence and establishing a new one, and definite acts which correspond with the purpose.17 Without clear and positive proof of the concurrence of these three requirements, the domicile of origin continues.18
Records show that Noble's domicile of origin was Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City. However, he claims to have chosen Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental as his new domicile. To substantiate this, he presented before the COMELEC his voter registration records;19 a Certification dated April 25, 2007 from Election Officer II Clavel Z. Tabada;20 his Marriage Certificate;21 and affidavits of residents of Kinoguitan22 attesting that he established residence in the municipality after his marriage to Bernadith Go. In addition, he presented receipts23 from the Provincial Treasurer for payment of his water bills, and Certifications from the Municipal Treasurer and Municipal Engineer that he has been a consumer of the Municipal Water System since June 2003. To prove ownership of property, he also presented a Deed of Sale24 over a real property dated June 3, 1996.
The above pieces of documentary evidence, however, fail to convince us that Noble successfully effected a change of domicile. As correctly ruled by the COMELEC Second Division, private respondent's claim that he is a registered voter and has actually voted in the past 3 elections in Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental do not sufficiently establish that he has actually elected residency in the said municipality. Indeed, while we have ruled in the past that voting gives rise to a strong presumption of residence, it is not conclusive evidence thereof.25 Thus, in Perez v. Commission on Elections,26 we held that a person's registration as voter in one district is not proof that he is not domiciled in another district. The registration of a voter in a place other than his residence of origin is not sufficient to consider him to have abandoned or lost his residence.27
To establish a new domicile of choice, personal presence in the place must be coupled with conduct indicative of that intention. It requires not only such bodily presence in that place but also a declared and probable intent to make it one's fixed and permanent place of abode.28
In this case, Noble's marriage to Bernadith Go does not establish his actual physical presence in Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental. Neither does it prove an intention to make it his permanent place of residence. We are also not persuaded by his alleged payment of water bills in the absence of evidence showing to which specific properties they pertain. And while Noble presented a Deed of Sale for real property, the veracity of this document is belied by his own admission that he does not own property in Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental.29
On the contrary, we find that Noble has not abandoned his original domicile as shown by the following: a) Certification dated April 12, 2007 of the Barangay Kagawad of Barangay Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City stating that Noble is a resident of the barangay;30 b) Affidavit31 of the Barangay Kagawad of Esperanza, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental dated April 14, 2007, attesting that Noble has not resided in Barangay Esperanza in Kinoguitan; c) photos32 and official receipts33 showing that Noble and his wife maintain their residence and businesses in Lapasan; d) tax declarations34 of real properties in Cagayan de Oro City under the name of Noble; and e) the "Household Record of Barangay Inhabitants"35 of Mayor Narciso Go, which did not include Noble or his wife, Bernadith Go, which disproves Noble's claim that he resides with his father-in-law.
From the foregoing, we find that Noble's alleged change of domicile was effected solely for the purpose of qualifying as a candidate in the 2007 elections. This we cannot allow. In Torayno, Sr. v. Commission on Elections, 36 we held that the one-year residency requirement is aimed at excluding outsiders "from taking advantage of favorable circumstances existing in that community for electoral gain." Establishing residence in a community merely to meet an election law requirement defeats the purpose of representation: to elect through the assent of voters those most cognizant and sensitive to the needs of the community.37 Thus, we find Noble disqualified from running as municipal mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental in the 2007 elections.
Notwithstanding Noble's disqualification, we find no basis for the proclamation of Judith Pundaodaya, as mayor. The rules on succession under the Local Government Code, explicitly provides:
SECTION 44. Permanent Vacancies in the Offices of the Governor, Vice-Governor, Mayor, and Vice-Mayor. - If a permanent vacancy occurs in the office of the xxx mayor, the xxx vice-mayor concerned shall become the xxx mayor.
For purposes of this Chapter, a permanent vacancy arises when an elective local official fills a higher vacant office, refuses to assume office, fails to qualify or is removed from office, voluntarily resigns, or is otherwise permanently incapacitated to discharge the functions of his office.
x x x x (Emphasis ours)
Thus, considering the permanent vacancy in the Office of the Mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental occasioned by Noble's disqualification, the proclaimed Vice-Mayor shall then succeed as mayor.38
WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED. The August 3, 2007 Resolution of the COMELEC En Banc in SPA No. 07-202 declaring respondent Arsenio Densing Noble qualified to run as Mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental, is REVERSED AND SET ASIDE. In view of the permanent vacancy in the Office of the Mayor of Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental, the proclaimed Vice-Mayor is ORDERED to succeed as Mayor.

The latter event completed the current development of St. Ruadhan's Park at Moatefield, which began in 1968 when renting the use of the field from Michael Killeen of Abbeyville, who had leased it from the Land Commission.
In 1970 the Lorrha club moved to purchase the field, but the Land Commission were reluctant sellers – they wanted to allocate the club a part of Shaw's Estate at Ballyoughter, Rathcabbin or a field below the National School at Redwood.
The club officials stuck to their guns and brought political pressure to bear on the Land Commission. Eventually five acres were acquired for £650, which amount was collected in one house to house collection in the parish. Trustees were appointed, including Fr. John Cleary, P.P., Paddy O'Meara, club secretary and Hubie Hogan, chairman of the North Tipperary Board, and a perimeter fence was erected. Lane's field in Carrigeen, Lordspark, opposite Lar Gleeson's, was used for 2 or 3 years while Moatfield was levelled.
In the years that followed the field was developed and dressing rooms erected. Two acres bordering the top of the field were purchased from local farmer, P. J. Mannion, for the sum of £7,000 in the nineteen-eighties. Later still further land was purchased across the road and developed into a third playing area, which caters for all sports as it is designated a community field.
Today the facilities available at St. Ruadhan's Park hold their own with the best available in the division and are a credit to the club and a tribute to the dedication and commitment of so many club members over many years.
The development of St. Ruadhan's Park was the culmination of a long search by the club for a permanent home. When the club transferred to Moatefield in 1968 they moved there from Blakefield, Abbeyville, where they had temporary residence for nearly a decade. This field was owned by the late Mick O'Meara. Many who played there at that period remember that John Joe Egan's dog was outstanding for finding lost sliotars, at a time when sliotars were scarce. In fact the dog was so highly appreciated that a member proposed at a club annual general meeting that the dog be rewarded for his services!
Prior to moving to Blakefield the club had spent some time in Moylan's field at the Pike. It is difficult to establish when they started there but the year 1945 has been mentioned. According to Eugene O'Meara, Fr. Paddy O'Meara was instrumental in moving there because he believed it was a more central place for training purposes. Tom Lambe has a similar story. He is convinced that the team for the 1946 county intermediate final trained in Younge's field, opposite the Nursing Home because Fr. O'Meara thought it was more central for the players involved on the team. They were there for a short time only and moved to Moylan's after that.
Before Moylan's the club was ensconced in Abbeyville from the middle of the thirties.It is generally believed that Blakefield was in use from 1934-45. Eugene O'Meara is certain that Jim Moylan's moor field near Kilcarron was also in use as a training field in the early 1930s for Abbeyville players.
Again, Tom Lambe is my informant and he thinks he remembers Con Sherlock telling him that the 1914 team trained in Danny Neill's, right beside the Birr road. Any confirmation?
Mick O'Meara was at a match in Goosie Island between Lorrha and Borrisokane in 1932. Lorrha had two county hurlers playing that day, Tom Duffy and Mick Cronin. The biggest gate of the championship, £27-10.0, was taken. It amounted to six and a half percent of the total gate receipts of the year by the North board. The 'Private' O'Meara played with Borrisokane that year while his brother Bill played with Lorrha. The final score was 1-6 to 2-2 in favour of Borrisokane. Lorrha got three close-in frees near the end of the game. Mick Cronin took the first two and drove them wide. When the third was given Tom Duffy called the length of the field from his full-back position that he would take it. He came the length of the field but drove it wide and Lorrha lost by a point! The following year Borrisokane went on to win their only North senior championship title.
There were other fields all over the parish which were used by locals in the days when transport was at a premium. In the fifties training used to be done in Palmer's field in the front of John Joe Madden's, Grange.
In the mid-nineteen-twenties there was a parish league and Redwood had a team. The team practised in a field in front of Hogan's house (Cahalan's) in Ballymacegan every Sunday and it was possible to see as many as forty men playing with everything from a hurley to a crooky stick.
Clarke's field, beside Milne's Pub, was the more usual place for practice by the Redwood hurlers Some time in the late thirties a group of lads from Tirnascragh came across the Shannon one Sunday and, after their fill in Milne's Pub, went out to Clerk's field to play Redwood. During the game one of the Tirnascragh players hit Michael O'Meara, who was a clerical student, on the head. There was a bit of a row and the incident put an end to hurling there. Mick O'Meara (the Hill) recalls refereeing a match there in 1941.
In the Abbeyville area as well as Blakefield, Tim Heenan's of Lisernane and Quinlan's of Kilgask were used. There was a junior team in Abbeyville in the late 1930s. Paddy Gardiner was honorary secretary. He wrote a letter to Dan Donoghue, Derry, hon.sec. of the Lorrha Club, giving him notice that Abbeyville had acquired the use of Michael O'Meara's field at Blakefield for the following year and wished that the Lorrha Club would procure one elsewhere! According to Mick of the Hill Donoghue broke his heart laughing at the request. He had the letter worn out bringing it around in his pocket and reading it out for everyone. It had no effect whatsoever.
The oldest reference to hurling in Redwood is taken from a letter to the editor of the 'Irish World', a U.S. Paper, on September 15, 1888. Signed by a Galwayman, it had this to say: 'Many readers of the 'Irish World', residing in this country (the U.S.), can call up pleasant memories of hard-fought games some 30 or 40 years ago between the men of Tipperary and Galway on the verdant sod of Shannon's banks, stretching from Portumna to Meelick, having for a background the ancient Castle of Redwood, standing out in bold relief against the green hillsides of noble Tipperary.' The matches were probably on both sides of the Shannon but we have no information as to the actual field they were played in at Redwood. At any rate the reference suggests there were stirring games there around the time of the Famine. It raises the question of the effect the Famine had in the Lorrha area.
1900 In the early part of the century there was a match in Hoctor's field (now Brown'e 7 acres) in Redwood between Redwood and Portumna. There was a big crowd at it and Jack Lambe, Tom Kennedy, the Creans, Larry Guinan, Paddy and Anthony Sommerville, the Sammons, James Kennedy and the Walshes of Ballymacegan played that day. After the match the crowd went up across Moatfield bog for porter.
There was another game played in Redwood in the twenties when the locals played the Pike in Loughnane's callow field. The field was as bare as a road and it was a great game.
1910 Toomevara won their first North title in 1910, beating Roscrea in the final played at Rathcabbin on October 8. On the same day they defeated Lorrha in the junior final. According to Tom Lambe the field was down Ballyoughter Lane, known as the 'Pea Field' and owned by Issac O'Meara.
1922 Games were played at Carrigahoig in this and other years. The 1922 final between Toomevara and Borrisokane may have been played there in Sammon's field.
Bracken's field in Rathcabbin was used as a venue for interclub games.
The first match Mick O'Meara of the Hill was at was a tournament in Coonan's field in Rathcabbin, now owned by Basil Kelly, on the Bonahum Road.
1939 Borrisokane defeated Lorrha junior hurlers in Fitzpatrick's field, Abbeyville and Eugene O'Meara remembers the team that lined our for Lorrha that day: Joe Gardiner, Josie O'Meara, Joe Bergin, Matt Cahalan, John O'Meara (C), Peter Coughlan, Hubie Hogan, Ned Waters, Syl King, Johnny Deely, Mick Brophy, Seamus O'Meara, Pat Coughlan, Jimmy O'Meara (D), Billy Abbott.
1941 Lorrha made their first appearance in the football championship against Shannon Rovers in Mike Sammon's field in Carrigahorig. They were beaten by 0-5 to 0-3 after a robust game. On the same day there was a second game between Carrigahorig and Borrisokane, who were much too strong for the home side and won by 3-4 to no score.


I thrive workout-wise by constantly trying new "fun" workouts. I am somewhat "workout fickle," but I am okay with that because variety keeps me interested. As I always say, "when it comes to working out, boredom is the kiss of death." Core workouts can be particularly yawn-worthy. Front planks, crunches, bike kicks ... snore. Currently I am mixing things up with "add on" core workouts.
My current pet peeve is the restaurant salad. Too many of us are fooled into believing that just because something is called a salad it is the healthy choice. Do NOT be fooled—the salad is too often a perfect example of what I call an "unhealthy healthy" food—sneaky foods that seem healthy but that end up stealthily sabotaging progress! Unhealthy healthy foods—unlike ice cream—tend to slide under the radar and inadvertently sabotage progress.


In September 2018, the new Learning Centre of the University of Luxembourg opened its doors.
Besides offering classical library services, the Learning Centre is primarily a space offering a state of the art learning environment for students and for the general public.
The users of the Learning Centre benefit from a digitally enhanced learning experience covering a large variety of learning settings, from the individual workspace for the study of books and print-material, through digital collaboration environments for small groups up to interactive and virtual classrooms for larger groups of students who can be either on-site or connected via Internet.
It is possible to make online reservations of the exact type of learning environment that fits the needs of specific users and the opening hours of the new centre is warrant for its central role in making the Belval Campus a pole of attraction for the whole country and beyond in order to live extraordinary learning experiences.
Located in an architecturally amazing building combining the existing remains of the steel industry with an open and light-flooded spatial concept, the architectural environment constitutes in itself an invitation to stay, relax, work, think and get inspired for new ideas which will be at the centre of the future development of the Belval Campus as the primary national scientific hub.

LNG or Liquified Natural Gas is a cryogenic fluid, about 99% methane or CH4. It's good for bus engines, stored in a Dewar tank like a giant Thermos bottle. Good energy density, easy to handle and store.
CNG or Compressed Natural Gas might be vaporized LNG or maybe compressed pipeline gas, which might be more like 95-96% methane. It's stored at 5,000 PSI, so it needs sturdy tanks: either heavy steel or aluminum internal skin with carbon fiber overwrap, which is expensive.
Propane is CH3—CH2—CH3 and automotive spec propane is pretty pure. The bottles for grills and heaters are less pure, other hydrocarbons are in the mix. Propane is stored at 30-50 PSI, so the tanks still need periodic hydrostatic testing but it's relatively cheap.
LP or Liquified Petroleum gas is a mix of propane and others hydrocarbons, mostly heavier.
Gas engines (meaning LNG/CNG/propane, not gasoline) take longer than diesel to get to full rated power, so the data center UPS will have to support full load a little longer as the genset spins up. Maybe something like magnetically levitated flywheels spinning generators.
MTTR = Mean Time To Recovery — On average, recovery takes this long.
RPO = Recovery Point Objective — We can afford to lose this much.
MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures — On average, it fails this often.
RSL = Recovery Service Level — During disaster and following recovery, we need at least this much.

Deborah Lipstadt / Jews Who Use Holocaust for Their Own Goals Shame the Jewish People
While using yellow badges and Nazi analogies is wrong, irrespective of its political point of origin, it's particularly reprehensible when used by Jews against Jews.
Last year, a group of Muslims in Switzerland donned the infamous Holocaust-era yellow Star of David badges with the word Muslim emblazoned on them, in order to call attention to the putative discrimination they claimed to face. The Swiss Jewish community was outraged, with some people briefly considering filing a law suit. Its unclear what the grounds for such legal action would have been. Given recent actions by Jews, any legal challenge would have faced pretty steep odds of succeeding. It's hard for Jews to complain of incitement and emotional distress when fellow Jews themselves use the same symbolism in an equally reckless, ahistorical, and immoral fashion.

In recent weeks, media outlets, both in Israel and outside of it, have been filled with stories of Haredim donning yellow badges as a means of protesting the supposed discrimination they face. The claim by some in the ultra-Orthodox community that those who engaged in this behavior constituted a fringe group rang hollow – in such a highly-structured and authoritarian society, it's hard to imagine that rabbinic authorities couldn't have stopped them. Moreover, the claim that this was just a fringe group was exposed as a lie in late December, when 1,500 Haredim demonstrated in Jerusalem. Participants wore yellow badges and dressed their children in striped uniforms, drawing all sorts of Nazi analogies, including the declaration:This is how it began in Germany.
Sadly, ultra-Orthodox Jews are not the only group who behaves in this despicable fashion. Some West Bank settlers have taken to hurling the epithet Nazi at Israeli soldiers, with some donning yellow badges as well.
The use of this analogy is not, of course, limited to Haredim and settlers. Critics of Israel and its policies are quick to declare Israeli soldiers Nazis, speaking of the genocide of the Palestinians. While the Israeli army, just like any other army, is not beyond reproach, to call its tactics Nazi-like is so far beyond the pale of reality that it sheds light on the irrationality – if not anti-Semitism -- of some of these extreme critics. To speak of genocide of the Palestinians also makes little sense. Many Palestinians certainly are suffering, but to call what they face genocide is ludicrous.

All these analogies should be universally condemned. They are wrong when they are made by the likes of Glenn Beck, the former right wing darling of the Fox Network, and they are wrong when they are made by those on the left end of the political spectrum. Critics cannot pick and choose against whom they wish to direct their ire. The Progressive Jewish Fund for Justice, which led the fight against Glen Becks outrages, lost much credibility when it remained silent about similar actions by those on the left. Nor can those on the right, who know of every left winger who ever used such an analogy, keep silent when settlers or others on the right use such analogies.
While using the yellow badges and Nazi analogy is wrong, irrespective of its point of origin, it's particularly reprehensible when used by Jews against Jews. That is why those Haredim and settlers who have done so have twisted Jewish history, earning the contempt of fellow Jews everywhere, and bringing shame upon the Jewish people as well as on the Jewish state.
Who needs enemies when you have such people in your midst?

Britain vows to 'share' vaccines with poor nations as G-7 meets

Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain, which holds the G-7 presidency this year, is meeting virtually with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and the United States to discuss international challenges, chief among them the pandemic that has killed almost 2.5 million people around the world
Some of the world's wealthiest countries are promising to share coronavirus vaccines with the poorest, but details of when and how many remain scarce as leaders of the Group of Seven economic powers hold their first meeting of 2021 on Friday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain, which holds the G-7 presidency this year, is meeting virtually with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and the United States to discuss international challenges, chief among them the pandemic that has killed almost 2.5 million people around the world.
Wealthy nations have snapped up hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines against the virus, while some countries in the developing world have little or none.
Johnson, whose country has had almost 120,000 coronavirus deaths, will promise to give the majority of any future surplus vaccines to the UN-backed COVAX effort to vaccinate the world's most vulnerable people, and will encourage other G-7 countries to do the same, the British government said.
But Foreign Office Minister James Cleverly said it was difficult to say with any kind of certainty when or how much Britain could donate.
We're not really able to give with certainty either a timescale or the numbers involved, he told the BBC.

Anti-poverty group the One Campaign said Britain's promise was not enough.
The virus won't wait on us to be ready before it mutates, so we need to get these vaccines around the world as quickly as possible, said Romilly Greenhill, the group's UK director.
French President Emmanuel Macron gave a firmer target, saying Europe and the US should allocate up to five per cent of their current Covid-19 vaccine supplies to the poorest countries very fast, so that people on the ground see it happening.
