BNP Paribas acquires Compte Nickel
Romain Dillet	@romaindillet / 4 years
French fintech startup Compte Nickel was acquired by French bank BNP Paribas yesterday. I couldn't nail down the price but I've heard that it was quite significant.
Compte Nickel was one of the leading fintech startups in France. You can open the equivalent of a current bank account in thousands of tobacco shops in just a few minutes. Compte Nickel gives you an IBAN and a MasterCard for €20 per year.
This is quite different from the typical banking experience in France as you usually have to make an appointment and talk with a bank manager to open an account. Even for online banks, you have to sign different documents and wait a few days.
With this seamless onboarding experience, Compte Nickel managed to attract more than 500,000 clients. It's not necessarily cheaper but it's dead simple.
BNP Paribas will keep running the service and is aiming for 2 million customers before 2020. BNP Paribas operates its own digital-first retail bank called Hello Bank. It works pretty much like a regular BNP Paribas account with a different logo, and doesn't really innovate in this space. BNP Paribas could use Compte Nickel's talent to work on new digital projects in the future.
While Compte Nickel wanted to revolutionize retail banks, the startup got acquired before it could become a serious contender on the French market. It makes you wonder whether fintech startups are going to disrupt traditional banks or just get acquired before then. Banks have deep pockets, after all.

J. A. N. DE SILVA, J. (P/CA)
CA NO. 1012/98COURT MARTIAL NO.
CA/LEG/CM/367/(53)
OCTOBER 13. 2000JANUARY 08. 2001
Army Act, No. 17 of 1949 – s. 56, s. 79 (c) and s. 107 – Constitution Article140 – Court Martial – Jurisdiction – Plea in Bar of trial – Regulations 60, 80- Statutory right of petitioning the Commanding Officer.
The petitioner, a Captain in the Army was charge-sheeted for suggesting to aLance Corporal that he take part in homosexual activities. The petitioner was triedby a General Court Martial and convicted.
It was contended that –
the prosecution got an additional summary of evidence recorded and thereaftercalled another witness to corroborate the evidence of the complainant.
that, the charge did not give the specific date on which the offence wascommitted.
The respondent contended that, as per the Army regulations, he should haveexercised his statutory right of petitioning the Commanding Officer with regardto his conviction and sentence.
Held:
If the petitioner intends to challenge the jurisdiction of the Court Martialto try him, he could have in terms of Regulation 62 offered a plea in barof trial at the time he offered his general plea of guilty. The petitioner withoutoffering a plea had participated and had thereby submitted himself to thejurisdiction of the Court Martial. By his conduct he had waived his rightto object to the jurisdiction of the Court Martial and this waiver disentitleshim from obtaining relief by way of a Writ of Certiorari.
Regulation 80 permits the calling of a witness whose statement is notcontained in the summary of evidence, given to the accused. The witnesswas called after giving notice to the accused.
Wimalasiri v. Daluwatte & Others (De Silva, J. (P/CA))
Though the complainant had not given the specific date on which theoffence was committed, it appears from the evidence that the offence wascommitted on 21. 04.1995, the day the Kathimurkulam camp was attacked.
The petitioner ought to have exercised his statutory rights under Regulation153 by petitioning the Commanding Officer with regard to his convictionand sentence. No valid reason has been tendered for not exercising thisright.
APPLICATION for a Writ of Certiorari.
Cases referred to :
Jayaweera v. Asst. Commissioner of Agrarian Services – 1996 2 SLR 70.
Yahonis Singho – 67 CLW 50.
U. D. M. Abeysekera for petitioner.
Buwanaka Aluvihare, SSC for respondents.
Cur. adv. vult.
This is an application for a Writ of Certiorari to quash the proceedings,findings and the order of a General Court Martial which tried thepetitioner for an offence punishable under section 107 of the ArmyAct, No. 17 of 1949 (cap. 357).
At the time material to the charge upon which the petitioner wastried he held the rank of Captain in the 5th Volunteer Battalion ofthe Gajaba Regiment, and he was serving at the Damminna Campas the adjutant of the 8th Battalion, Sri Lanka National Guard. Bycharge-sheet dated 30. 11. 1997 the following charge was framedagainst him:
"That whilst you were serving at the Damminna Camp as theadjutant of the 8th Battalion, Sri Lanka National Guard, between1st February, 1995 and 31st May, 1995, in a scandalous mannerby suggesting to S/8Q00869 Lance Corporal Shantha Vidana VCthat he take part in homosexual relations with you which is
unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman and didthereby commit an offence punishable under section 107 of theArmy Act, No. 17 of 1949 (cap 357) of the Legislative enactmentof Sri Lanka.
On the order of the Commander of the Army, the petitioner wastried by a General Court Martial which assembled for the first timeon 20. 02. 1998. The petitioner in his petition has averred thatthere was a patent lack of competence of the Court Martial forcommencing proceedings after the lapse of three years from thedate of the offence. The petitioner's challenge to the jurisdictionof the Court Martial is based on the provisions of section 56 ofthe Army Act which enacts that: "Any person subject to militarylaw shall not be tried by the Court Martial where three years haveelapsed after the commission of the offence . . .".
According to the charge framed against the petitioner the offencehad been committed between 01. 02. 1995 and 31. 05. 1995. Whenthe Court Martial commenced its proceedings on 20. 02. 1997 threeyears have not elapsed from the last terminal date given in the charge,i.e. 31. 05. 1995. Therefore, on the day the Court Martial commencedits proceedings the charge, on the fact of it, did not indicate that threeyears have elapsed from the date of the commission of the offenceand as such there was no patent lack of jurisdiction (or competence).
However, if the petitioner intended to challenge the jurisdiction ofthe Court Martial to try him, he could have, in terms of Regulation62 of the General Court Martial Regulations of 1950, offered a pleain bar of trial at the time he offered his general plea of not guilty.When a plea in bar of trial is tendered the Court Martial is requiredto record the plea and receive evidence offered and hear the addressesmade on behalf of the accused and the prosecutor and decide whetherthe plea has been proved.
The petitioner without offering a plea in bar of trial had participatedin the proceedings and thereby had submitted himself to the jurisdictionof the Court Martial. By his conduct he had waived his right to objectto the jurisdiction of the Court Martial and this waiver disentitles himfrom obtaining relief by way of a Writ of Certiorari, Jayaweera v.Assistant Commissioner of Agrarian Services.
Wimalasiri v. Daluwatte & Others (Da Silva, J. (P/CA))
One of the main complaints of the petitioner is that in the courseof the trial the prosecution had got an additional summary of evidencerecorded and thereafter called one Corporal Perera to corroborate theevidence of the complainant Shantha Vidana. Corporal Perera's namehad transpired when the complainant when asked whether hetold anyone about the improper suggestion made by the petitionerthe complainant had stated that he told Corporal Perera about it. Thecomplainant had given an explanation about his failure to mentionPerera's name in his first statement. It was in this setting that during sothe adjournment an additional summary of evidence was recorded andCorporal Perera was summoned as a witness. It was contended onbehalf of the petitioner that once proceedings of the Court Martialcommenced, there is no provision to have an additional summary ofevidence recorded.
It was pointed out by the respondents that Regulation 80 of theArmy Court Martial Regulations permits the calling of a witness whosestatement is not contained in the summary of evidence given to theaccused. In terms of the regulation before the witness is called anabstract of the proposed evidence must be furnished to the accused. 70The prosecution has complied with this requirement in the instantcase. The witness was called after giving notice to the accused. Ido not see any illegality or unfairness in this procedure.
The petitioner has contended that since the charge framed againsthim did not give the specific date on which the offence was committedand that even the complainant in his evidence did not give the dateon which the offence was committed the charge was bad in law. Itis true that the complainant had not given the specific date on whichthe offence was committed. However, it appears from the evidencethe offence was commited in the Kathimurikulam camp was attacked soand that this attack had taken place on 21. 04. 1995.
It was contended on behalf of the accused that his defence ofalibi was not properly placed before Court by the Judge-Advocate-General in that he failed to advise the Court on the three positions(as laid down in Yahonis Singhof2) to be considered in evaluatingas alibi defence. The complainant was cross-examined on the basisthat on the day Kathimurikulam Camp was attacked the petitioner,throughout the night remained in the radio room with other officers.
The complainant, however, had said that throughout the night the
petitioner did not remain in the radio room.
When the petitioner gave evidence he had not stated that duringthe whole night he remained at the radio room. A defence witnesshad testified to the fact that the petitioner was in the radio room duringthe whole night. The decision of the Court indicates that the Courtaccepted the evidence of the complainant and did not accept thedefence witnesses evidence. It does not appear that there was anyreason for the complainant to falsely implicate the petitionerwho was a higher officer.
When the evidence placed before the Court Martial is considered,it does not appear that, on the evidence available, the decision ofthe Court is unsupportable or perverse. There is also no seriousprocedural error resulting in a miscarriage of justice.
The 2nd respondent in paragraph 13 of his objections has statedthat as per the legal right afforded to the petitioner by Regulation 153of the Army Court Martial Regulations he did not petition to thecommanding officer of the Army with regard to his conviction andsentence and that the petitioner had not given any valid reason fornot having exercised his statutory right. In answer to that avermentthe petitioner in his counter affidavit has stated that Regulation 153applies where Court Martial acts intra vires and not when it acts ultravires. Here the petitioner appears to have taken upon himself the taskof deciding whether the Court Martial acted intra vires or not. If hewas of opinion that the Court Martial lacked jurisdiction and that itsproceedings were ultra vires the powers conferred on the Court Martialhe should have, at the very inception, offered a plea in bar of trial.As was pointed out earlier he had not done this. Therefore, the reasonadduced by the petitioner for not exercising his statutory right isnot acceptable.
In all the circumstances of this case it is my considered opinionthat the petitioner had not made out a case for the relief he has prayedfor. Accordingly, this application is dismissed without costs.
Application dismissed.

Game 31 Recap: Brewers 5, Reds 4
by Ryan Romano May 9, 2016
Best play: You know how the Brewers don't really have a bullpen? Well, that also applies to the post-Aroldis Chapman Reds. John Lamb, who threw a solid start for Cincinnati, departed after four innings with an injury; from there, Milwaukee slowly chipped away at the 4-1 deficit. Hernan Perez led off the fifth with a dinger to left, then Jonathan Lucroy brought Ryan Braun around in the sixth, and Jonathan Villar's bases-loaded groundout in the seventh tied the game. But the defining play came in the next frame, when Lucroy lasered a 1-0 changeup into the left-field seats.
Lucroy's homer (+.250) increased the Brewers' win probability by a clean 50 percent. Before he stepped in, each club had a 1-in-2 chance of coming out on top; after he rounded the bases, the Brewers had 3-in-4 odds. Thereafter, it was relatively smooth sailing to a series split for the Brew Crew.
In the offseason, virtually everyone thought Lucroy would hit the trade block. Despite coming off a down year, both at the plate and behind it, he looked to be one of the best catchers in baseball, with two years of team control before free agency. The Brewers hung on to him, perhaps hoping his stock would rise, and so far he's rewarded their decision. Over his last 39 plate appearances, he's ripped a .424/.513/.848 line, upping his production on the season to .327/.393/.505. If Lucroy does leave Milwaukee in a trade, his hot streak will fetch a considerable return.
Worst Play: While the Brewers didn't inflict much damage off Lamb, the Reds got to Junior Guerra. In the third frame, a one-out walk and a sacrifice bunt put a runner on second for Tyler Holt. He lined a first-pitch fastball over the head of Alex Presley in right, bringing around Ramon Cabrera and knotting the score at one apiece. Two batters later, Cincinnati held a 3-1 advantage over Milwaukee.
As the catalyst for the three-run inning, Holt's triple (+.130) took the Brewers' win probability down from 58.7 to 45.8 percent. Over the course of six batters, the Reds cut the Brewers' odds by more than half, from 59.5 to 26.5 percent. Once Lamb departed, however, Milwaukee feasted on the mutton that is the Cincinnati bullpen, eventually winning the Mother's Day matchup.
For Guerra, the second verse was pretty much the same as the first: In each of his two starts this season, he's worked six innings and allowed four runs. This outing featured more missed bats, as he rode his splitter — which he didn't throw at all in his first game — to six strikeouts. Most of the time, a 31-year-old pitcher two years removed from independent ball will flame out at the major-league level, but Guerra has turned some heads with his repertoire. He probably won't be worse than Matt Garza!
Trend to Watch: The Brewers offense got off to a shaky start in 2016. Across 23 April games, they scored just 89 runs, an average of 3.87 per contest. With a team batting line of .223/.307/.371, they helped to sink Milwaukee to an 8-15 record in the month. In May, though, the hitters have come back from the dead, and they've got a taste for baseballs. Their triple-slash has improved to .311/.378/.551, which has allowed them to score 6.75 runs per game — the most in the major leagues during that timeframe.
While Lucroy's aforementioned surge has led the team, he hasn't done it alone. Chris Carter has continued to spit in the face of the Astros (as an aside: lol Astros), hitting .333/.353/.818 in May. Braun's .452/.485/.710 line in the month illustrates his rejuvenation. And largely on the strength of his three-homer game on Saturday, Aaron Hill has notched a .414/.452/.724 May triple-slash.
More important than the performance of the stars is the absence of scrubs. Of the eight players with at least 20 plate appearances this month, all have hit at an above-average level. Lucroy, Carter, Braun, and Hill will cool off at some point, but if Kirk Nieuwenhuis (.300/.391/.450 in May), Jonathan Villar (.310/.394/.448), and Ramon Flores (.250/.429/.313) can stave off significant regression, the offense will remain formidable. On a team whose pitching staff has vanished overnight, a few extra runs per game couldn't hurt.
Up Next: The Brewers take on the Marlins in Miami tonight at 6:10 CST, with Wily Peralta and Jose Fernandez getting the nods for the respective clubs. Zach Davies will start against Adam Conley on Tuesday night, and Chase Anderson and Wei-Yin Chen will square off on Wednesday to wrap up the series. With nearly one-fifth of the season in the books, let's hope that the remaining 80 percent gives us some more late-inning comebacks and offensive firepower. (A sightly starting pitcher would also be nice, but we can't have everything.)

Grateful for Gorillas!
This week, I'm grateful for gorillas and the good news about their protection! The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla – see photo), is a relatively small gorilla (4-5 1/2 ft tall and up to 440 lbs) that lives in the dense rainforests of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo. The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is also a smaller gorilla that lives in mountainous regions with altitudes of 8,000 to 13,000 feet in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. The mountain gorilla's fur is thicker than that of its lowland cousin, but both have a primarily herbivorous diet and live in complex social groups. About half of the mountain gorilla population (estimated at about 700 individuals (National Geographic 2012) is found in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda.
The western lowland gorilla sub-species is critically endangered. Exact population numbers are not known, because it's so difficult to get into their habitat. What is known is that the population seems to have decreased by up to 60% in the last 20 to 25 years. Threats to the lowland gorillas include poaching and disease (the Ebola virus). The good news is, as reported by World Wildlife Fund on October 11, the Republic of Congo announced that it will designate over 7 million acres of wetland areas such as marshes, wetland forests, and lakes to protect the western lowland gorilla and other species such as chimpanzees, African elephants, and hippos! This brings the total protected wetlands acreage in the Republic of Congo to 29 million – about the size of Ohio!
The mountain gorilla is also critically endangered, threatened by war, habitat loss, disease, poaching, and charcoal making. But there's good news here too! The World Wildlife Fund reported on November 13 that "a recent census by the Uganda Wildlife Authority identified 880 mountain gorillas, an increase from the 786 estimated in 2010." (WWF 2012 Mountain Gorilla).
Why are gorillas worth saving? Well, to start, they're our distant cousins who use tools and live within complex social structures. If you need an ecological or economic reason, here they are: as stated in Wildlife Heroes (2012), "Due to the large quantities of plant matter they consume, gorillas play an important role in the shaping of plant and forest environments. Tourism to view gorillas in their wild habitat is an important part of the range country economies, bringing millions of dollars each year into Rwanda, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of Congo."
What can you do to help? Go to the World Wildlife fund website or check out this list of organizations working to protect the gorillas and their habitats.

Game, as is common in such type of games, greets us with a intuitive tutorial, which quickly introduces basic mechanics of the game. At first we build holding pens for animals, entertainment buildings for the guests and staff facilities. Besides tutorial, game offers a number of different quests that will lead us in the first hours of playing.
Basics of every ZOO are, of course, animals, the rarer and more exotic, the better! ZOO 2 offers dozens of species, starting with pretty ordinary rabbits, goats or piglets, ending at panthers, flamingos, pandas, giraffes and chimpanzees. Taking care of the animals is very important � the better the food, holding spaces and staff, the happier they are!
Every ZOO to prosper needs to earn money. This will be an important part of the game, so we have to build entertainment facilities that will make all of the guests happy and more willing to spend money. Drinks and food stands, green areas, benches and trash bins � even the smallest detail is important. Happy customers are much more generous with their cash, which we need to develop the ZOO further. It�s in your hands how it will be developed!
The last part of the good manager ZOO is staff. They will take care of guests, animals and cleanliness of facilities. Good employees are necessary to make your ZOO the best in the world!
ZOO 2 is a game based on Free to Play model, which makes it completely free. However, there is an option of buying premium currency in a form of diamonds. They hasten some of the elements of the game, but aren�t necessary for a proper enjoyment. Furthermore, developers are generous with diamonds and introduced other means of acquiring this currency. One of them is �Cinema�, where you get diamonds for watching ads. Other are card packs, given for logging in every day.
ZOO 2 is a great and refreshed successor to MyFreeZoo. It�s perfect for gamers, with better phones or tablets, because 3D graphics can be quite demanding. If strategic simulators are your favorite, then ZOO 2 will be ideal for you.
Become the best manager there is!
Completing tutorial will teach you the most important mechanics of the game.
Pick up free card packs, there�s great loot inside!
Premium currency is more useful in the later parts of the game, so don�t spend it too fast!

To be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income Benefits, you must meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability. This definition is complex and is usually subject to interpretation. The Social Security Administration often rejects claims because they believe a claimant is still capable of performing work activities.
Being denied for Social Security Disability Insurance is nothing personal. Everybody gets denied. Jeff Heller, Canton attorney, has tried this type of case across the entire country and it is the same in every state. The U.S. Social Security Administration wages a war of attrition against claimants, and they will deny your claim until you give up.
Getting a qualified Canton Social Security Disability attorney on your side dramatically increases your chances of being approved for SSDI. Once a third party is advocating on your behalf, Social Security officials recognize that your claim will not simply go away.
For representation in a Social Security Disability claim, contact the Cherokee County, GA law firm of Jeff Heller at (678) 992-4346 or complete our web form.

She. Loves. Bread. She loves bread!!!!
The Golden Globes.
Was Oprah's speech inspiring?
I couldn't tell.
It put me to sleep.
Was she ever going to shut up?
I question her getting the Cecil B. DeMille award to begin with.
What did she get it for? Being old?
What was her great film accomplishments?
She produced Beloved but it flopped.
She acted in it and a few other films.
Looking it up it has to do with contributions to entertainment.
So is that for her talk show.
Her long running relationship with Gail.
Maybe for having her own network even though none of her programs were ever nominated for a Golden Globes.
Maybe they gave it to her for her Weight Watchers commercials?
"I. Love. Bread. I love bread!"
Was that her great accomplishment.
Throughout her meandering speech last night, I kept wondering, "Exactly why is she up there on the stage?"
I never got an answer that made sense.
Monday, January 8, 2018. Chaos and violence continue, one of the fallen arrived home last Friday, look who's supporting Kirk Douglas, and much more.
Let's start with the Golden Globes. No, we didn't all stand for Kirk Douglas. As a friend of Natalie Wood's I refused to stand.

Kirk raped Natalie. That's not gossip. That's reality.
I don't know that he raped Dorothy Dandridge but I do know that rumor is out there and has been for decades.
Are you surprised that Katrina vanden Heuvel would applaud him?
This is the woman who was printing Scott Ritter's pieces in THE NATION.
Remember him?
Some people still print him.
But we had to call her out here and bring up her own daughter to get him out of THE NATION.
Ritter, for those who forget, is the UN inspector who was busted -- twice -- for attempting to hook up with underage girls. He claimed it was all because he was speaking out against the illegal war and Bully Boy Bush had it out for him.
But the third (fourth?) arrest came when? When Barack Obama was president.
Was Barack also against Scott Ritter?
He finally went to prison for that one.
Finally.
But prior to prison, Katty van van was more than happy to publish Scott Ritter.
There's no #MeToo movement she's ever been a part of it.
Doubt it?
It took Ava and I documenting the sexism at THE NATION repeatedly for a year -- doing the byline statistics -- for them to finally admit there was a problem publicly. Prior to that admission, we received e-mails and phone calls begging us to stop, telling us we were hurting the magazine. Saying, "If you had a problem, you could have come to us."
Could we?
Because we had. And so had women working at the magazine. We never kept it a secret that it was women writers who brought the issue to us -- see "Are You A Writer For The Nation? If so, chances are you have a penis,"
And despite Katty van van being in charge and being a woman nothing was happening.
What was our final statistic on bylines?
"The Nation featured 491 male bylines in 2007 -- how many female ones?"
Men received 491 bylines in 2007 and women? 149.
And it took us shaming THE NATION publicly to get it to improve even a little.
So Katty van van rushes to prop up rapist Kirk and are we surprised?
Hell to the f**k of nah.
She's living on money, please remember, that her grandfather robbed from Lena Horne and other African-Americans. That grandfather being one of the reasons Katty van van's mother took a dive off her balcony to her death not all that long ago. (And, yes, Katty, I still know what you were looking for in your mother's apartment and I still know it's actual location and that's you will never find it.)
So there's We The People and then there's manly Katty.
Katty van van and I don't care
And Elaine captured her as a child like no one ever did!
And she'll never get a hold of what's she's looking for.
And she'll always look like a fool.
Kirk didn't end the blacklist. And he wasn't even a nice guy. Read SLATE and THE ATLANTIC for reality and grasp what a liar Kirk is.
When I posted from the Globes last night, I thought I was going to be all alone. I saw only a few people not applauding Kirk. But the great thing was that a friend then texted me to look at Twitter. I did and I know that post I did on my phone is messed up -- mid-way it starts over -- but I have trouble copying and pasting on my phone. (No problem with the one I did on a tablet after the Globes.)
We are not alone.
We will never have the support of the likes of Katty van van but that's okay.
I defend Rose McGowan even when some think she's gone too far. She's got to go too far to be taken seriously. THE NATION's response to our tracking the number of women they published in 2007 is so telling. Kill the feature! Stop tracking the numbers! We'll give you what you want!
(Ava and I didn't want to write for THE NATION, why would we? Writing is not our career or profession and we did this -- and still do -- out of obligation.)
The powers that be -- which does include Katty van van -- are used to abusing women and then shutting people up by offer them bribes and pay outs.
Rose has to be loud and has to hit hard. I get it and I applaud her. And if someone says, "Did she go to far?," my response will always be, "She didn't hurt anyone and she's got a right to that anger." When we let them smooth over our anger to buy our silence we lose.
Katty van van was comfortable publishing more men than women (491 men to 149 women) and she was comfortable publishing a man arrested repeatedly for attempting to lure girls into sexual engagements. She was comfortable with everything as long as what she was doing wasn't exposed publicly.
Katty hates me and I can live with that and not give a damn because, in the end, that hatred of me and anger towards me is the only thing that made life a little bit better for women at THE NATION.
Silence isn't an option and Rose has inspired the world -- inspired and changed it for the better.
Katty van van's part of the crumbling old world. That's the choice she's made. Repeatedly.
Staying with reality . . .

Iraq. The war continues due to the continuing lies.
Few have done more harm than our 'friend' Patrick Cockburn.
In his most recent piece, he's all about "men."
The Iraq War hits the 15 year mark in March and Patrick's still unaware that women are in Iraq.
He surveys Iraq and thinks the war may finally be coming to an end this year. I disagree with what he sees but I will give him credit for grasping that the war is not yet over.
Common decency, however, does not dictate that we give any credit for this nonsense:
I was in Baghdad in October and November where there are now less violent incidents than at any time since 2003. Compare this with upwards of 3,000 people blown up, shot or tortured to death in the capital in a single month at the height of the Sunni-Shia sectarian civil war in 2006-7.
We've repeatedly argued, year after year, that using 2006 to 2007 as a baseline is wrong. That was the open civil war. It will always be a period of more violence. As for Baghdad, the last three years have seen far less violence in Baghdad and far more outside the city. Baghdad is a fortress. It was that way during the build up of the Green Zone. It got more so when they were afraid, in the summer of 2014, that the Islamic State was going to seize Baghdad.
As for violence in Iraq?

8:46 PM - 6 Jan 2018
XINHUA notes today's violence:
Twelve people were wounded Monday when mortar rounds hits an ethnically mixed city in Iraq's central province of Salahudin, a security and a lawmaker said.
During the day, several mortar rounds landed on the city of Tuz-Khurmato, some 90 km east of Salahudin's provincial capital Tikrit, leaving 12 people wounded, including three women and two children, along with damaging several houses in the city, a provincial security source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
And then there's the violence via the US-led coalition. MIDDLE EAST MONITOR reports:
Air strikes contributed to a doubling of civilian deaths in Iraq and Syria last year, according to a war monitor, raising fresh questions over the death toll resulting from the push to defeat the Islamic State group.
At least 15,399 civilians were killed globally from "explosive violence" in the first 11 months of 2017, according to Action on Armed Violence's (AOAV) report drawn from reports in English language media.
Civilian deaths in Syria increased by 55 percent to 8,051 from the 2016 figure, while over the same period in Iraq, there was a 50 percent increase to 3,271.
AOAV said the majority of the total 15,399 civilian deaths were caused by air-launched weapons (58 percent), for the first time since it began to reporting in 2011. The wars in Syria, Iraq and Yemen largely responsible for the increase.
Karen McVeigh (GUARDIAN) adds, "According to Airwars, which monitors deaths in Iraq and Syria, the estimated number of alleged civilian deaths as a result of US-led military operations against Isis in Iraq and Syria last year was between 11,000 and 18,000. An Associated Press report last month put the estimated number of civilian deaths in Mosul alone at 9,000."
REUTERS reports:
Iraqi security forces are forcibly returning civilians from refugee camps to unsafe areas in the predominantly Sunni Anbar province, exposing them to death from booby-traps or acts of vigilantism, refugees and aid workers say.
Managing more than two million Iraqis displaced by the war against ISIL is one of prime minister Haider Al Abadi's most daunting tasks. But critics say he is more interested in winning elections in May than alleviating the suffering of displaced Iraqis and returning them home safely.
Authorities are sending back people against their will, refugees and aid workers say, to ensure that the election takes place on time. People must be in their area of origin to vote and if they do not return home, this could delay the election.
The reality of the war -- rarely noted.
Another reality of the ongoing war: US deaths.
Pat Clark (MODESTO BEE) reports:
A flag line at the Modesto Airport on Friday afternoon honored the return home of a 20-year-old soldier from Turlock who died in December in Iraq.
Spc. Avadon A. Chaves was killed on Dec. 20 in a noncombat-related incident, according to the Department of Defense.
Patriot Guard Riders stood in honor of Chaves at the airport as he was transferred from an aircraft to a waiting coach. The California National Guard Honor Guard also accompanied the body. Members of his family, including his parents, were at the airport when the plane landed.

Two thieves have been jailed for a crime spree that saw them steal several vehicles from car dealerships in the West Midlands.
Reuben Hylton and Meryl Dacosta were sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court for a number of thefts, one of which included dragging a car salesman along the street. In December 2014 the pair attended a Kings Heath used car dealership and having been given the keys to a Renault Megane they proceeded to drive away without paying for it, a tactic they used at other dealerships for the following two months.
Cases such as this illustrate the importance of dealerships having a high quality combined motor trade insurance policy. Not only will this offer cover against theft for the vehicles stored on site, but having employer's liability as part of the combined trader's insurance policy will also provide financial protection for members of staff should they be hurt on the job, such as the salesman injured when he attempted to stop Mr Hylton and Ms Dacosta.
In total, the Redditch Advertiser reports that Mr Hylton was later charged with 19 offences. This included six counts of stealing motor vehicles from forecourts across the West Midlands, eight counts of driving while disqualified, two counts of making off without paying for petrol, one count of assault and another charge of breaching an anti-social behaviour order. Ms Dacosta was also charged in connection with two of the robberies.
The pair, who had already pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing, were sentenced this month. Mr Hylton received a 40 month custodial sentence and a 44 month driving ban, while Dacosta was jailed for 18 months.

POLICE PROTEST IN NORTH-EAST NIGERIA OVER SALARY ARREARS
At least 2 000 police officers stationed in Boko Haram-hit northeast Nigeria on Monday demanded months of back pay in a angry protest marked by teargas and gunshots fired into the air.
Members of the mobile police (MOPOL) units, who perform escort duties as well as man checkpoints and patrol with the military, demanded up to six months' arrears and better accommodation.
They blocked the main road outside the police headquarters in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, chanting slogans including "Pay us our allowances or there will be no peace."
An AFP reporter at the scene said the protesters let off teargas and fired volleys of gunshots into the air.
Other officers were sent out to prevent reporters covering the protest but the demonstrators stepped in to stop them, leading to scuffles, he added.
One protester told AFP the last time he was paid he received only 23 000 naira ($64) – just 5 000 naira more than the national minimum wage.
A "large part" had been deducted with no explanation given, he added. Officers were unable to give money to their families for food and school fees, he said.
"How do they expect us to maintain security when we are hungry and frustrated, when we haven't seen our families for months and can't discharge our basic responsibilities as husbands and fathers?" he asked.
"Our patience has been exhausted. All we are saying is they should give us our money."
Another said they had not been paid for six months while provision of food had been stopped and officers have been forced to sleep in the open as there was no accommodation.
There was no immediate comment from the police authorities.
Non-payment of salaries is not unusual in Nigeria, particularly in recent years, as the country slid towards recession after the collapse of global oil prices from mid-2014.
In 2015, public sector workers in 30 out of Nigeria's 36 states were owed wages.
In recent months, university staff, oil and gas workers and hospital doctors have gone on strike over salary arrears dating back as far as 2009.
Under former president Goodluck Jonathan, soldiers complained of non-payment of salaries, as well as lack of adequate weapons and even ammunition.
In one case, troops refused an order to deploy for an offensive against the jihadists.
President Muhammadu Buhari was elected in 2015 on a pledge to defeat the Islamists and tackle endemic corruption.

28th Bomb Wing Public Affairs
ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. -- After firing an M-240 Bravo machine gun, watching his aide-de-camp get taken down in a security forces K-9 demonstration, and addressing the men and women of Ellsworth Air Force Base in an all call assembly, Maj. Gen. James Dawkins Jr. experienced a little bit of everything during his visit here Nov. 13.
"Not only were [Ellsworth Airmen] professional and proficient, but I saw quite a bit of innovation," said Dawkins, the 8th Air Force and Joint-Global Strike Operations Center commander. "I saw how the team is leveraging technology to provide more realistic training, and that helps all of the Airmen."
The general toured the base, talking with leadership and learning all that the 28th Bomb Wing does to accomplish the mission and to take care of families.
"One part that really stuck out to me was the Little Defenders area," Dawkins said. "That shows that Security Forces is taking care of a new mother and taking one thing off her plate. Is that innovation? I think it absolutely is. At the end of the day, it's about taking care of people so they can focus on being the most lethal warfighter possible."
Dawkins was shown base improvements that increased the wing's lethality, which aligns with the general's priorities.
"For [8th Air Force] it's about long-range precision strike," Dawkins said. "We have to do our job, putting bombs on target, on time."
The general reminded Raider Airmen what they are working to achieve: one team, focused on war-fighting and striving for excellence.

Last week I went to the cinema alone to watch a movie, I usually don't go to the cinema for many reasons but I really wanted to watch Cloverfield so I went anyway.
The movie had a nice story but I didn't like the movie's direction, If you have sea sick then you shouldn't watch this movie...On my way home I almost throw up all the pop corn and cola I had during the movie.
This song was my favorite song of Saber's 2007 album, I was listening to it non stop for so long, I even had it as my cellphone's ringtone.
The other day I was watching him with the host "Hala Sarhan" (هالة سرحان) and she said that he cried in the studio while he was singing this song...He said that was true he got emotional when he was singing a specific phrase so he wanted to redo it but they confessed him to use the one with the crying part and he did actually release it that way...You can hear that part in the audio track at 1:23 minutes.
I am glad he decided to shot this song among the others from his 2007 album.
In both ways I remain silent, I don't want to forget you nor I want to!

I've been watching an online TV show called Epic-Fu on the internet, in this week's episode they talked about recent damage of 5 under sea cables providing internet to this part of the world. I was surprised to know that they decided to bring that up since most of the international big media companies said nothing about it.
اتابع برنامج يبث على الإنرنت لعدة اسابيع اسمه إبك فو (Epic-fu)، تكلموا في هذه الحلقة عن إنقطاع 5 كابلات بحرية تزود الشرق الأوسط بالإنترنت. تفاجأت لما شفت موضوعهم الرئيسي هو هذا خصوصاً أن معظم وسائل الإعلام العالمية ما تكلمت عن الموضوع.

Dr Michael Gannon, Radio National, Private Health Insurance
Transcript: AMA President, Dr Michael Gannon, with Fran Kelly, ABC Radio National, 23 August 2017
Subject: Private Health Insurance, Asylum Seeker Health
FRAN KELLY: When it comes to your concerns - voter concerns - health and hospitals are almost always ranking at the very top. But in recent years it's become a very contested policy area for the Turnbull Government, the whole area of health. Putting it at odds with doctors groups such as the Australian Medical Association. The proposed Medicare co-payment - remember that? The freeze to doctors' rebates - remember that? The cuts to pathology and MRI bulk billing incentives, have caused a lot of political grief for the Government.
Today, at the National Press Club, AMA President Michael Gannon, will outline the major reform areas that need to be tackled ahead of the next Election, which includes hospital funding and the proliferation of private health insurance policies - many of which Dr Gannon has said are little more than junk. Michael Gannon is in our Parliament House studios. Michael Gannon, welcome back to Breakfast.
MICHAEL GANNON: Good morning, Fran.
FRAN KELLY: Let's go to private health insurance first. I'll come back to some of the other issues that you're dealing with today, a bit later. But you say, in your speech today, you're very concerned about the future of private health insurance. What is the problem here? Does it come down to the cost? To the five to six per cent increase in premiums approved by the Government every year, is it just too much money for people to pay?
MICHAEL GANNON: I think you've hit the nail on the head, Fran. In a time when real wages growth is low, when cost of living pressures are increasing, private health insurance is seen as a luxury by people who think of the five to six per cent increase year-on-year and sometimes compare the private system unfavourably with the free public system down the road.
FRAN KELLY: Yeah well, it's a luxury that Government policy means many of us have to have or, if we don't, we pay a tax incentive anyway. It's costly. I mean, some people pay $400 a month for it, others pay something like I think a minimum one is $32 a fortnight - so what's that $65, $70 a month? Which is not nothing for people. But you're suggesting that they're actually getting not much for it. You've classed some of these policies as junk. What's a junk policy look like?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, a policy that achieves nothing more than giving you a tax break and avoiding the tax penalty but gives you no better care than what you can get for free in the public system. That could be classed as junk. Some of the policies which limit people to care in a public hospital - again, giving them no possible advantage over the free system - that might be junk. And too often with the other policies, we see exclusions and caveats based on people's care, the care they can receive, so that they're questioning its value.
FRAN KELLY: Well, there are some - I've been looking through some of the examples - there are some incredible exclusions and caveats aren't there? In terms of having- being able to pay the cost of having a baby when you're a certain age group. I mean, why- all these sorts of things come as a surprise to people when they pay a lot of money every month. What's the worst example you've seen or heard of?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, the good news is that when we identify these examples the loop holes get closed fairly quickly. So, that's an important part of advocacy but there are examples where people are covered for care that they can't even conceivably ever need. The truth is that men don't need reproductive health cover. But there are just too many individual stories of people finding out - after the event, after they've made it all the way to the doctor's office - that they're not covered. Those stories come back to us from our members, every single day.
FRAN KELLY: And what's the danger of this in your view of - this figure's been around a few days now - there are more than 20,000 different types of private health policies. What's the danger of these ones that are basically junk?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, the greatest danger is the loss of the reputation of private health insurance and the diminishing importance of that essential pillar of our health system. Seventy per cent of elective surgery gets done in private hospitals. They are very efficient deliverer of certain kinds of medical care. And if we look at our health system in Australia, it in many ways provides the perfect balance between the two extremes. And I can't help but compare our health system to the American system of managed care which leaves 30 odd million Americans without any health cover and their private health patients having some of the most expensive care in the world. And the British health system, which is labouring under a huge massive bureaucracy, not being able to deliver the efficiencies that the private system does in Australia.
So, what I've said to Minister Hunt, what I'll say to everyone in the House is that we need to find the right policy levers to pull. We can't junk a system that provides a reasonable amount of balance.
FRAN KELLY: Okay, let's go to the right policy levers. Because a couple you've suggested; one is for the law to be changed to ensure all policies contain a minimum level of cover. Won't that just make policies more expensive?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, we've got to be careful on that. But the point of insurance is to share risk amongst an equalisation pool. So, for example when we come out and say that you need mental health in basic policies, you need palliative care in basic policies, you need reproductive health pregnancy cover in basic policies, if that's shared across the entire equalisation pool, the actuarial modelling suggests that it wouldn't increase the cost of basic policies too much. The greatest problem for private health insurance is the reputational problem it has because too many of these individual stories of people getting tricked or caught out are out there.
FRAN KELLY: Another way you see through this maze, this confusion, of the 20,000 policies, is to have a rating system. A simple gold, silver, bronze category, so you know which system you're signing up to and they're basically uniform. Which, apart from sort of free marketeering and different companies wanting to offer different things is one problem I suppose but how would that help?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, what we're interested in is transparency and fairness. And the AMA is participating in a Ministerial advisory committee with the private health insurers, with the hospitals, with consumer groups, day hospital representatives, to try and come up with the right suggestions to hand to the Minister. It's a difficult policy area but one of the things the AMA is determined to do is to make sure that there are- that whatever is called bronze has a minimum level of cover and as you move up to silver or gold policies, that they are fair, that they're transparent and they're understandable to the average person in the street.
FRAN KELLY: And yet as you recommend some kind of rating system for the private health insurers in your speech today, you'll be pushing back against any kind of star rating system for doctors. The private health industry - or some of those companies within it - are interested in allowing customer testimonials to be put up, looking at some sort of star rating. And you're saying no, that's not appropriate. Why not?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, I wouldn't call gold, silver, bronze a rating system. That's probably just a division that's understandable to most Australians which adds to the transparency. In terms of what you're talking about - a doctor rating system - medical care's a whole lot more complicated than rating your latest restaurant meal or your latest Uber ride; the quality and safety mechanisms that underpin care in hospitals, the level of skill and determination that's required by medical ethics to deliver the best possible care. I'm far from convinced that giving the insurers information on how rude someone's receptionist is or how good their magazines are define the quality of health care.
FRAN KELLY: Do you think that the product being delivered by the industry overall, even as the industry has grown, has diminished? Because in your speech today, you point out the industry was once dominated by mutual insurers who had members, to for-profit organisations that have policy holders. One of our listeners has written in and said when the Government sold Medibank for short-term cash we lost our last [indistinct] of industry insight and control. I mean, are- have you seen a shift in the industry which you think is not benefiting, let alone doctors but the consumers?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, I think one thing that needs to be stated is that while many healthy people are questioning the value of private health insurance, the industry's own data suggests that most patients are very satisfied with their care in private hospitals. So that's why it's important that we don't junk something that's working reasonably well. But that is right, the industry is now dominated by for-profit companies that have a fiduciary responsibility to deliver a dividend for their shareholders - that's a fact of life. And that is- there's no problem with that, as long as they don't deliver their profits on the back of reducing services to patients, and perhaps more importantly for those of us who have a long-term view of our health system, threatening the contribution that private health care makes to universal health care.
FRAN KELLY: You're listening to RN Breakfast, it's 24-past eight. Our guest is Dr Michael Gannon, President of the AMA.
Can I ask you about another issue that's been in the news this week? Refugee advocates claiming that there's around 50 asylum seekers and refugees currently held on Nauru being denied access to what's described as urgently needed medical treatment overseas. The group includes three women who are apparently seeking to terminate pregnancies. Abortion is illegal on Nauru. You're an obstetrician and a gynaecologist, what's your advice? Should these women be brought to Australia without delay?
MICHAEL GANNON: Well, this is an extremely complicated and contested area of health policy and one of the things I won't do is claim to be an expert on matters of migration. The AMA only speaks on the health care of asylum seekers and refugees. The reason this area is so complex is that …
FRAN KELLY: [Interrupts] We are talking about the health care of refugees, aren't we?
MICHAEL GANNON: Yes, we are, yeah. And it's very important to state that the Department of Immigration and Border Protection through agencies and contracts has delivered a very high level of health care. Now, of course, it's actually very difficult for them to provide a type of health care that is illegal on the island of Nauru. This becomes a complex policy area. Let's call the facts out, Fran, when a patient is transferred to the Australian mainland, they normally have refugee advocates, refugee lawyers claiming asylum on the mainland of Australia once they're here. So, it is …
FRAN KELLY: [Interrupts] Is that any reason not to let them come to have treatment, though, I mean, if treatment's required? It's a balance.
MICHAEL GANNON: No, not at all, Fran. That is quite right. We cannot deny people appropriate levels of health care on the basis that that's what happens when they get here. But this is a difficult, keenly contested and complex area of public policy. But put very simply, the principle that that AMA would have is that if an appropriate medical treatment cannot be either legally supplied, applied, if there are not the resources in Papua New Guinea or Nauru, then those patients do have to be transferred to the Australian mainland whatever the consequences.
FRAN KELLY: Michael Gannon, thank you very much for joining us.
MICHAEL GANNON: Thank you, Fran.
FRAN KELLY: Dr Michael Gannon is President of the AMA.

Steeplechase Park founder George C. Tilyou famously said "If Paris is France, then Coney Island, between June and September, is the world." Over the past few weeks, we've fielded queries from around the world: When does Coney Island close? What's open in September, October, etcetera?
Nowadays, Coney Island's season for amusement rides, games and attractions extends from Palm Sunday till the last weekend in October. The New York Aquarium, Nathan's Famous, and a few other restaurants and shops in the amusement district remain open through the fall and winter. Back in 2010, ATZ wrote a guide to off-season Coney titled "Coney Island After Columbus Day: We're Still Open!" Here's an updated version for this year.
After Labor Day, the majority of Coney's rides are open weekends and school holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot and Columbus Day) through the end of October –this year (2013) the last day is Sunday, October 27. [In 2015, it is Sunday, November 1st.] Weather permitting, of course. Schedules may vary at Deno's Wonder Wheel Park, Luna Park, the Cyclone and Scream Zone, 12th Street Amusements and the Eldorado Bumper Cars. The Eldorado is an independently-owned, indoor attraction and stays open after the other rides close. We recommend checking the parks' websites and the official Coney Island twitterers list for up-to-date info and phoning ahead if the weather is iffy.
Hours are generally 12 noon until 6-8pm, and sometimes until 10 or 11 pm on September weekends, but vary depending on the weather and the crowds. Closing is much earlier than in the summer season, when the parks may be open till 1am. The traditional opening day of the season is Palm Sunday, a holiday with a date that changes every year. In 2014, the parks will officially open on April 13th. (In 2015 and 2016, Palm Sunday is early– March 29 and March 20, respectively.) Coney Island's amusement rides operate on a daily schedule from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Check the websites of the parks and attractions for seasonal hours or phone ahead.
Coney Island USA features an array of events during September and October including the 29th Annual Coney Island Tattoo and Motorcycle Festival (September 13-15) and the Coney Island Film Festival (September 20-22). Check the calendar of events for October's Creep Show at the Freak Show and Haunted Sideshow and other special events during the year. Fred Kahl's Scan-O-Rama, a 3D portrait studio, will be open most Saturdays, from 12-5pm. Update: CIUSA's Freak Bar and Gift Shop and Coney Island Museum will be open most Saturdays and Sundays 12pm-5pm during the winter.
The New York Aquarium's Fall/Winter/Spring hours are 10am–4:30pm, with last entry at 3:30pm. Exhibits include Conservation Hall and Sea Cliffs, where you can see penguins, walruses and sea otters being fed. While the aquarium is still recovering and rebuilding from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, admission fees are reduced to $9.95. On Fridays from 3pm, admission is pay-what you-wish.
The historic 90-year-old Riegelmann Boardwalk is open year round and if you traverse its 2.7 miles from Sea Gate to Brighton, you'll meet walkers, runners, bicyclists, parents with strollers, neighborhood folks out and about, as well as tourists from around the world. The Coney Island History Project offers 1-1/2 hour walking tours of the amusement district -"past, present and future"–including stops at the landmark Wonder Wheel, Cyclone and Parachute Jump and lesser known treasures. Tours are offered year-round, weather permitting.
Paul's Daughter, established as Gregory and Paul's in 1962, is open daily through the end of October. Paul Georgoulakos, 84, the Boardwalk's oldest operator, can frequently be found at the clam bar of his family's eatery, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. Located at West 10th Street near the Aquarium, the store offers counter service, a clam bar, and an al fresco bar with beer on tap. We recommend the raw clams, fried calamari, and french fries.
Ruby's Bar and Grill is open daily through Halloween, co-owner Michael Sarrel tells ATZ. It'll be weekends only–most weekends anyway–from November 1st through January 1st, which is a big day on the Boardwalk due to the Polar Bear Plunge. After New Year's Day, Ruby's will close till mid-March. Drop by Ruby's Facebook page anytime to check seasonal hours and whether or not they're open when you plan to go.
Brooklyn Beach Shop, which offers private label T-shirts, hoodies, blankets and beach gear, is open daily through the end of October. Weekend hours are planned for the rest of the year, depending on the weather and the crowds.
At Tom's Coney Island, breakfast including their delicious pancakes, is served all day. The restaurant has become a local favorite for brunch and lunch since Superstorm Sandy, when it was one of the few places able to open after the storm. A variety of omelettes, sandwiches, wraps, hamburgers and vegie burgers are also on the menu. "We will be staying open through the winter from 8-5, seven days a week," owner Jimmy Kokotas tells ATZ. "We are currently open 8-7 till daylight savings begins." The Boardwalk outpost of the popular Prospect Heights diner celebrates its first anniversary later this month.
Founded in 1916, Nathan's Famous original location on Surf Avenue at Stillwell is a year-round tourist destination. People say their world-famous hot dogs taste better here than at any of the locations of the franchise. Throughout the year, the Surf Avenue store is open daily 8am till 1am, and until 2am on Friday and Saturday. The Nathan's at the corner of West 12th on the Boardwalk is open seasonally.
Williams Candy is one of our favorite places in Coney Island. The 75-year-old Mom-and-Pop shop is next door to Nathan's Famous and is open year round. Hours are 9 am till 7 pm during the off season. The shop stays open late when Coney is in full swing. Williams also has a delicious looking website where you can order marshmallow sticks, candy apples and other treats online.
On Stillwell Avenue directly behind Nathan's is Coney Island Beach Shop, which has been selling T-shirts and beach gear at this location in Coney Island since 2002. Year-round hours are 10:30am-4pm.
Across the street from Nathan's, in Thor Equities new retail building, the pop-up shop Wampum packed it in after Labor Day, but the rest of the stores are open daily through October 30, according to store personnel. With the exception of candy mega chain It'Sugar, which will be open year round, the rest of the stores will close for the winter. The Brooklyn Nets Shop, Brooklyn Rock, Maritza's Souvenirs and Rainbow Shop (discount clothing) have seasonal leases through October and most hope to return next season, sources told ATZ. UPDATE: Brooklyn Rock, Maritza's and Rainbow shop were replaced by Surf & Stillwell and a souvenir shop, also seasonal, and the NY metro area's first Wahlburger's, which will be open year round.
If you prefer Italian food, there are a trio of Coney Island restaurants open year round. The Surf Avenue outpost of DUMBO's Grimaldi's Pizzeria currently offers a slice of Coney Island history along with their pizza pies. The "Dreamland Bell" that survived the Dreamland Fire of 1911 is on display as a symbol of Coney's comeback from Sandy. It can be seen through the storefront window by pedestrians walking on the north side of Surf. The Bell is there through September 27th. A short walk from the amusement district are two of the neighborhood's longtime favorites– Totonno's Pizzeria on Neptune Avenue since 1924 and Gargiulo's, in business since 1907 on West 15th Street.
I MOVED FROM BRIGHTON 2ND STREET TO FLORIDA IN 1956 BUT I STILL REMEMBER CONEY ISLAND AND THE STEEPECHASE, THE FREAK SHOWS AND ESPECIALLY NATHAN'S AND I REMEMBER THE BEST FRENCH FRIES EVER.
