I slip in the time to post here just in the gap I have between passing my Driving Theory Test and frantically starting to pack and prepare for leaving for university on the 2nd October. Perhaps before I launch into my ramble about my very Hepburn-esque Roman Holiday I will post some little fillers to videos, articles and other time fillers of the week.
Tom Lehrer's "The Vatican Rag" got me in the mood for visiting the real thing last week. 2-4-6-8 time to transubstantiate!
Whitney Houston, how cheesy predictable and mainstream I hear you say. In fairness to me, I don't tend to watch much of the XFactor, Pop Idol sort of TV shows that this song is probably sung so often in, so Whitney Houston is novel to me at least, if not to you.
For all that it's from nearly two decades ago, these Spitting Images satires of the Murdoch Press and Tony Blair (if you subscribe to the Tory story about Labour's spending) are impressively relevant even in '2Kay11'.
Also, just as a small update to my past posts about chauvinism on the Tory Frontbench, I think the abortion amendment is a double edged sword of evidence against Cameron. For starters, an anti-abortion and – if you'll let generalise to the extreme – anti-women's rights, amendment should never have been encouraged and allowed to get so far. But even when Cameron rebuked Nadine Dorries, he managed to do it in a way that was Chauvinistic.
Regardless of school boy humour, her question should have been answered.
Oh, I've also been watching this, but from a Matt Baker fan perspective rather than a political perspective.
The sharp pain behind my eyes as the plane climbed the sky should have been a warning of the delights awaiting me on descent. I paid little heed to it though and watched out the window as Aer Lingus, the most cliché Irish airline imaginable, flew us over the French Alps. This glimpse out the window would in fact turn out to be the closest I would come to our family's traditional alpine climbing holiday. That's not to say this holiday required any less physical exertion, on the contrary cities normally take more out of me, or maybe I'm just becoming less fit. Eventually the blissful alps slipped over the horizon and dusty Rome came into sight. Mild aerosinusitis hit, the pain of air pressure differences between the sinuses and the cabin. I feel sorry for anyone else who has it on flights, sorry for the pain but more for the alarming sensation that your brain is about to explode. Despite my best attempts to clear my nose or balance the pressure it took a few hours for the headache to clear.
Medical digression, but Aerosinusitis is likely to occur when people have colds or other allergies, posing a serious risk of complications to only the most regular flyers. Interestingly, often the strikes among Cabin Crew that we so often here about often focus on reductions in their paid sick leave. BA managers or their equivalents will attempt to turn public opinion against the crew, with figures presented such as how much more sick leave they are entitled to compared to the public. Of course, this is because if an air hostess has a cold, they can't just slog through work like the rest of us, as they would be risking far more serious health consequences. Just something to bear in mind during the next BA strike.
It's rare to fly to or from Belfast without meeting a familiar face on board. My delightful chance encounter this year was with a fellow 'Greek Scholar' Vicky, apparently her earlier flight had been cancelled due to air traffic controllers strike in Rome (they don't even have Aerosinusitis as an excuse.) It was a far better meeting than the time I sat next to a guy whose school bag, revision notes and exam card I had accidentally lifted from the library on the morning of his Maths A level back when I was in 3rd year, I still feel so bad about that.
After being hurtled around Rome by our taxi man, who enjoyed described the scenary as, "Vatican wall" … "Still Vatican wall", we finally got to our apartment. It was already late in the evening, but I was still sweaty and uncomfortable in jeans and a shirt. Thankfully, help was on the horizon.
The Vatican Wall and I, it's a love hate thing.
Enter Gelati Numero Uno. <applause> Primo scoop Kinder (Nocciola) Hazlenut Praline, Secondo Scoop Baileys Cream.
The ice-cream in Rome was beyond compare, a vast selection of flavours. Quality flavours too, not the artificial tasting syrup produced flavours we normally get at home. In Rome the sprinkled Kinder was not even necessary to convince me the flavour was authentic.
One was the adorable use of "SPQR" (Senatus Populusque Romanus ) on the phone booths, post boxes and manhole covers. Admittedly the SPQR has somewhat slipped down the leagues of power, but to have such a historical title is enviable for a local council and certainly lends them more gravitas than the purple lorries of my own Newtownabbey Council.
Next I noticed the many obelisks, most of them originally from North Africa, or North Africa via Greece. These always had an iron cross clamped on the top of them and usually a claim by some Pope to have made some admirable contribution. Any one of these obelisks could have been a clue as to how the Vatican had stamped its mark across most of the ancient treasures of Rome.
Finally I noticed how many people, Romanus as well as Barbericus, were happy to mill around the city, eating or just socialising, right up until the small hours of the morning. If only British cities could have such a night culture.
Sadly the night culture did also keep me awake, I was forced into many midnight 'cost benefit analyses' of stifling heat vs. Italian sirens and car horns coming through the open window.
If I manage to deliver any more installments of the antics of this puer romanus this week then you might actually get to hear a bit more about the city.

A year ago, Minnetonka rode a strong run through the ultra-talented Class 2A, Section 6 boys' hockey tournament all the way to the state title game. This time around, Eden Prairie is showing flashes of that same path.
The Eagles shut out the Skippers 4-0 on Saturday in the section semifinals at Braemar Arena, completing what Eden Prairie players and coaches described afterward as one of — if not the — best games of the season.
Eden Prairie, the top seed, used only two digits for inspiration: 7-2.
Those numbers were the score of Minnetonka's victory over Eden Prairie in the section final last year. They were scrawled on the white board inside the Eagles locker room Saturday.
After fourth-seeded Minnetonka came out blitzing early, Curt Rau got Eden Prairie's scoring started with a slap shot goal through traffic 11 minutes, 37 seconds into the first period. Jack McCartan and Kyle Rau then scored second-period goals before Des Shavlik's tally with 4:31 left in the game sent fans scurrying to the parking lot.
Burnsville 5, Bloomington Jefferson 2: Unorthodox but true: Burnsville built steam Saturday by playing shorthanded.
In its victory over No. 2 seed Bloomington Jefferson in the Class 2A, Section 2 semifinals at Braemar Arena, three Blaze goals came during or moments after being shorthanded.
With senior defenseman Eddie Wittchow serving two minutes for interference, junior Hunter Anderson got Burnsville on the board at 1:42 of the second period on a second-effort goal, poking the puck into the net after his initial shot was blocked.
Wittchow then made it 2-0 when, fresh out of the box, he took a breakaway pass from classmate Mike Dockery and roofed it past Jaguars goaltender Eric Fabano.
Burnsville, the No. 3 seed, took a 4-1 lead into the third, but the Jaguars cut it to 4-2 on a power-play goal by senior Ryan Siiro with 5:18 to go. Just 15 seconds after that, however, Wittchow notched his second goal of the game off a blast from the point.

SERIES: Tools to Grow Inclusive Economies
The All-In Cities initiative at PolicyLink equips city officials, community advocates, and civic leaders with policy ideas, data, and strategy support to build equitable, thriving cities. And at the heart of equitable cities are inclusive economies in which working-class people and people of color have good jobs, rising standards of living, and increased voice, power, and ownership. Join us for three webinars this month where we will debut new tools in the All-In Cities online policy toolkit and hear from local leaders who have been working to implement these solutions.
Creating Accessible Career Pathways Through Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship Programs
11:00am – 12:00pm Pacific / 2:00pm – 3:00pm Eastern
As the nation's workforce grows more diverse in the face of an uncertain future of work, policymakers and community leaders across the country are partnering with the private sector to develop new and more equitable pathways to middle-skills, living-wage jobs. Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeship programs that combine classroom instruction and paid on-the-job training can be a powerful lever to advance racial economic inclusion. Join this webinar to learn more about successful approaches to expanding apprenticeship opportunities in the skilled trades and professional services sectors. New tool: Apprenticeships
Abbie Langston, PolicyLink (moderator)
Laura Heller, Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership / BIG STEP, Milwaukee, WI
Adrian Esquivel, Chicagoland Workforce Funder Alliance/ Apprenticeship 2020, Chicago, IL (invited)
Place-based Strategies for Economic Inclusion: Equitable Transit-Oriented Development and Commercial Land Trusts
Redevelopment and new investments in a community can revitalize the landscape, improving transit and other public infrastructure and spurring new economic opportunities. By adopting an equitable economic development approach, planners, policymakers, and local residents can work together to ensure that these efforts serve the needs of low-income communities and communities of color. Equity strategies that integrate place-based and people-focused approaches can preserve the cultural character and assets of their neighborhoods and expand access to affordable housing and transportation, fostering healthy communities of opportunity for all. Join us to hear about innovative strategies to advance equitable transit-oriented development and foster community-centered economic opportunities through commercial community land trusts. New tools: Equitable transit-oriented development and Commercial community land trusts.
Tracey Ross, PolicyLink (moderator)

Julius Kimbrough, Crescent City CLT, New Orleans, LA
Policy Solutions to Raise the Floor on Low-Wage Work
Creating good jobs that are accessible to low-income residents and people of color is a central tenet of building All-In Cities. In addition to steering new economic development efforts to grow high-road businesses that provide middle- and high-wage jobs, local leaders are implementing policy solutions to transform low-wage jobs into good jobs with living wages and benefits, fair scheduling, and worker protections. Join us to learn more about strategies to secure paid sick leave for all workers and to raise worker pay even as state law constrains local policymaking to support high community labor standards. New tool: Paid sick leave
Sarah Treuhaft, PolicyLink (moderator)

SERIES: Focus on Equitable Development
Focus on Equitable Development, Part I: Community Benefits Agreements and Organizing for Equitable Development
Community benefits agreements (CBAs) provide a legal framework for community coalitions to organize and negotiate with developers around job access, wages, training, community oversight and other benefits a proposed development might bring to the surrounding neighborhood or city. As binding contracts that clarify and align the expectations of developers, community coalitions, and public officials, CBAs crafted with the core principles of just and fair inclusion can be powerful tools for spurring equitable, sustainable development in cities.
Focus on Equitable Development, Part II: Different Neighborhoods, Different Needs: Tailoring Economic Development Strategies in Place
Community benefits agreements (CBAs) provide a legal framework for community coalitions to organize and negotiate with developers around job access, wages, training, community oversight and other benefits a proposed development might bring to the surrounding neighborhood or city. As binding contracts that clarify and align the expectations of developers, community coalitions, and public officials, CBAs crafted with the core principles of just and fair inclusion can be powerful tools for spurring equitable, sustainable development in cities
Inclusive Planning: Centering Community Voice in Equitable Development
Equitable development requires targeted efforts to ensure that disadvantaged communities and communities of color benefit from development in their neighborhoods, communities, and regions — so it also requires that those very communities have a real and powerful voice in the decision-making and planning processes that guide development. This webinar will share strategies and best practices for inclusive planning and other approaches that build power among community organizations and advocates to craft community-driven development approaches that can produce meaningful equity outcomes.
SERIES: Good Jobs, Economic Security, and Housing & Anti-Displacement
Part I: Leveraging City Resources to Grow Good, Accessible Jobs
This webinar focused on equitable contracting and procurement and business supports to improve job quality, two approaches cities can take to grow good jobs.
Part II: Keeping People in Place: Strategies to Support Renters at Risk of Displacement
This presentation looked at just cause eviction laws and legal assistance to prevent eviction, two strong policy solutions that local leaders can leverage to protect long-term residents, especially people of color and low-income communities, from being displaced as their cities and neighborhoods flourish.
Part III: Reforming Fines and Fees: From Wealth Stripping to Economic Security
Regressive fines-and-fees systems that strip wealth from low-income families and people of color not only hinder the financial security of vulnerable families, they also compromise the economic strength of cities and regions overall. This webinar focused on how community leaders and local officials can take the lead to reform these systems, using an equity lens to design fair, just, and sustainable systems to finance public budgets.

Three Communities Implementing HUD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Commitment
On April 20, PolicyLink hosted a webinar in partnership with the Government Alliance on Racial Equity, on the experiences of the inaugural cohort of jurisdictions to come into compliance with HUD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule.
Ending the Debt Trap: Strategies to Stop the Overuse of Court-Imposed Fines, Fees, and Bail
PolicyLink hosted a webinar discussion on the latest research and strategies state and local leaders can use to ensure that judicial fines and fees do not contribute to burdensome debt, housing and employment barriers, and increased imprisonment and recidivism for low-income communities and people of color.
Targeted Strategies to Reduce Employment Inequality
Leaders in Minneapolis and New Orleans have developed targeted strategies to connect Black workers to good jobs in growing industries. On March 23, we discussed the findings of our recent analysis of employment inequality in metros (in partnership with the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity), and shared focused jobs strategies being implemented by the Northside Funders Group in Minneapolis and the Network for Economic Opportunity in New Orleans.
Sanctuary Space: Creating Safe Communities for All
In today's political climate, immigrant families, Muslim residents, and other communities of color face increased surveillance and growing threats to their safety and well-being. On January 30, PolicyLink and our partners hosted a discussion on how state and local leaders across the country can create safer environments for vulnerable members of their communities.


Curator/Artist: Veronica Solis and collaborating artists.
A group printmaking exhibition curated by Veronica Solis, Oda A La Muerte explores Día de los Muertos—its origins in Mexico as well as its historical and cultural significance there and in the United States. This exhibition will showcase work from more than 20 artists—accomplished and emergent—from both sides of the border, who have produced work inspired by their own different conceptions of death, using relief prints on linocut and woodcut techniques.

Q: MPI, Intercommunication between fortran master and Python worker? I would like to communicate with MPI between a fortran program (as the master) and a python program (as the slave).
I wrote the following test but I could not get the parent communicator from the slave side.
 # Master(fortran)
   > my_id :                0
   > num_procs :            1
 # Slave(python)
   MPI initialiation :  True
   Has Parent        :  False

Any help on this would be much appreciated !

Fortran (Master side)
program main
  include 'mpif.h'
  integer ierr, num_procs, my_id, INTERCOMM

  call MPI_INIT (ierr)

  !find out MY process ID, and how many processes were started.
  call MPI_COMM_RANK (MPI_COMM_WORLD, my_id, ierr)
  call MPI_COMM_SIZE (MPI_COMM_WORLD, num_procs, ierr)

  write(*,*) "# Master(fortran) "
  write(*,*) "  > my_id :     ", my_id
  write(*,*) "  > num_procs : ",num_procs

  if (ierr /= 0) then
    print*,"Erreur d'initialisation de MPI"
    stop
  endif

  if (my_id==0) then
    call MPI_COMM_SPAWN("python", "python_slave.py", 1, MPI_INFO_NULL, my_id, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &
    & INTERCOMM, MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE,ierr)

    !--
    !Send input to the slave
    !Receive results from the slave
    !--

  endif

  call MPI_FINALIZE ( ierr )

  print *, ">> End of program"
end program main

Python (Slave side)
from mpi4py import MPI

print " # Slave(python) "
print "   MPI initialiation : ", MPI.Is_initialized()
print "   Has Parent        : ", not(MPI.Comm.Get_parent() == MPI.COMM_NULL)

#--
#Receive some input from the master
#Do some work
#Send some results to the master
#--

#status = MPI.Status()
#print "   > Status source : ", status.Get_source()    # ANY_SOURCE = -2
#print "   > Status tag    : ", status.Get_tag()       # ANY_TAG = -1
#print "   > Status count  : ", status.Get_count()
#
#pyworld = MPI.COMM_WORLD
#
#print "   Slave    "
#print "   > rank : ", pyworld.Get_rank()
#print "   > size : ", pyworld.Get_size()

A: The problem was that mpi4py (using macports) was compiled with 'mpich' by default instead of 'openmpi'
One has to make sure that each side use the same mpi distribution.
In my case, as my gcc distribution was compiled with openmpi, I needed to install mpi4py with the following command :

sudo port install mpi4py +openmpi

How Palestine advocates can support Black struggle
Kristian Davis Bailey The Electronic Intifada 19 June 2020
One of the best ways for Americans to display solidarity with Palestinians is to support the Black revolution in their own country.
Tess Scheflan ActiveStills
The recent Black Lives Matter protests have sparked conversations about how to act in better solidarity with the Black struggle.
There are two especially prominent questions: how to move beyond rhetorical statements and how to address anti-Blackness among non-Black Arab communities.
The following are a few suggestions for addressing these issues:
1. Understand that the Black struggle at its core is a 500-year anti-imperialist and anti-colonial struggle for self-determination
Black people are one of the first and largest victims of Western colonialism and racial capitalism. We have never received justice for 500 years of racist violence and exploitation.
The US and most Western countries built their empires through profits from the Atlantic slave trade.
As an illegitimate settler colony that was built on the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population and enslavement of Africans, the US requires the continuous subjugation of Black and Indigenous people to maintain its imperial domination abroad.
Accordingly, the greatest internal threat to the US empire is that of a Black revolution. This is why the last real moment of Black revolution was so viciously attacked and destroyed between the late 1960s and early 1980s.
Solidarity means prioritizing, investing in, and relating to the Black struggle as having the greatest revolutionary potential in the US.
2. Understand that if you live in the US and are not Indigenous or Black, you yourself are a settler and must contribute to decolonizing this territory
While all other ethnic groups may experience discrimination, they are generally granted citizenship privileges as long as they do not challenge US colonialism or support Black and Indigenous revolution.
This is similar to the position of Arab and Ethiopian Jews in Israel: subjugated by European Jews but allowed the privileges of citizenship in exchange for oppressing Palestinians instead of aligning with them.
In each case, anyone living on occupied territory has an obligation to work in solidarity with the Indigenous and oppressed populations. In the US, this requires active, day-to-day support and not simply an internalized stance of "standing with Black people."
3. Divest from anti-Black racism and invest in Black self-determination.
Focus on shifting power and redistributing resources from communities that benefit from anti-Black racism instead of circular and largely rhetorical conversations about addressing anti-Blackness within Arab (and other non-Black) communities.
Anti-Blackness is not unique to Arab Americans but is a condition present across non-Black communities due to the divide and conquer structure of settler-colonialism and capitalism.
With that in mind, we can examine two primary manifestations of anti-Blackness between Dearborn (the US city with the highest percentage of Arabs) and its neighbor Detroit (the city with the highest percentage of Black people).
The first is the predatory role the Arab merchant class plays in operating gas stations and liquor stores across Detroit that extract wealth from the Black community while providing little of value and engaging in racist practices against the community.
The second manifestation of anti-Black racism is passive acceptance of unacceptable conditions of Black death – which include water shutoffs, home foreclosures, evictions, gentrification, food apartheid, inadequate public health, and decades of disinvestment.
While it is important to challenge racist family members, focusing on confronting prejudice does little to transform these material conditions of Black death.
An investment campaign for Detroit gas and liquor stores to donate their profits to Black revolutionary organizations or even to transfer ownership of shops to Black food co-ops will do far more for the Black community than convincing a cousin not to refer to Black people as abeed, the Arabic for slaves.
This work requires long-term community building and political education around structural racism, moving beyond individual racism.
4. Support Black organizing beyond the well-known and national organizations
Black activists who support Palestine should not be the only Black people in your political circles. Build alliances with Black groups that reflect your political commitment to Palestinian liberation and analysis of this country.
In every part of this country there are Black people actively building towards our liberation.
There are Black farmers working to secure land and resources so that their communities can be food secure and self-sufficient. There are meeting spaces for Black radical organizations facing displacement due to gentrification and there are many groups that have no offices at all.
In every city there are former Black Panthers and elder Black revolutionaries seeking to transfer knowledge to future generations.
Find and support these initiatives regularly and generously, host fundraisers for them, offer them free office space, invite them to speak to your community and pay them the large fee that you would offer a high-profile speaker.
Support groups that already have internationalist and anti-imperialist politics like Black Alliance for Peace or Black Agenda Report.
Showing up to support Black revolution – through money, time, and most importantly through building and maintaining consistent relationships – will tangibly combat cultural and material racism.
5. Visit and spend time in our communities
If you've paid thousands of dollars to travel to Palestine and learn from people under struggle, you can travel to Detroit, Chicago or Jackson, Mississippi to do the same (and pay Black organizations).
If you've volunteered to harvest olives in the occupied West Bank to defend a farmer's land from settlers, you can volunteer to plant vegetables here and defend a Black urban farmer's land from gentrifiers (who are also settlers).
If you've defended a Palestinian home from being demolished, you can defend a Black family from being evicted.
If you've devoted the better part of your free time to being in solidarity with a liberation struggle 6,000 miles away, you need to devote the better part of your life to supporting liberation struggles in your backyard.
Some Palestinian American comrades have insisted that the best way to support Palestine is to support the Black struggle here, but we need more forces to operate from this understanding.
6. Understand that Israel's violence is not unique
Israel is not unique or exceptional in its violence against Palestinians; Israel is the most recent example of colonial violence that Western Europe and its descendants have perpetrated for hundreds of years.
My first trip to Palestine was with a group of primarily older white people who were aghast at Israel's apartheid treatment of Palestinians, but who seemed to have no concept of the apartheid conditions facing Black people in the US.
In a cross-movement space in the US, a Palestinian American declared that no other country has committed as horrible crimes as Israel has against Palestinians – to the audible shock of Black and Indigenous comrades in the room.
Some activists, when commenting on the oppression of Black people in the US, will say things like "if you think it's bad here, look at what's happening in Palestine."
While comparisons are sometimes useful for consciousness raising, learn to offer loud and unequivocal support for the Black struggle without diluting that solidarity through Palestine, even if the analogy is relevant. And avoid hijacking conversations about the Black struggle to focus solely on Palestine.
7. Recognize that justice for the Black struggle is also about justice for the African diaspora for slavery and colonialism
Build relationships with Africans in other parts of the diaspora. Learn about our struggles, martyrs, triumphs and failures in addressing the colonial issue.
Haiti (Toussaint Louverture), the Congo (Patrice Lumumba), Ghana (Kwame Nkrumah), Cape Verde (Amilcar Cabral), Burkina Faso (Thomas Sankara), and Mozambique (Samora Machel) have all experienced great revolutionary struggles and had great leaders.
If you already have relationships with Black/African organizations abroad, connect them with Black organizers in the US.
8. Decolonize how you seek and practice solidarity
A few years ago, a close comrade from Detroit who is a Black woman went on a (mostly white) delegation to Palestine. At site after site, Palestinians would flock to the white/Jewish participants, but would often ignore her.
She went into the trip expecting mutual camaraderie and came back disillusioned.
Her experience mirrors a tendency among Palestinians to seek solidarity from colonizers (whether the US Congress, the European Union, the UN, or white/Jewish activists) while deprioritizing colonized people who are struggling for similar aims. This tendency produced the Oslo accords and the focus on a two-state "solution" instead of one democratic, decolonized state with the right of return for Palestine's refugees.
Uniting with African struggles in a transnational push for decolonization is what brings justice for the African and Arab diasporas, whose colonial borders and refugee crises were fomented by the very European forces the Palestinian movement currently appeals to.
Understanding that Black people are colonized by the US and have the revolutionary potential to disrupt the US empire, we need Palestinians abroad to engage with Black visitors in a more serious way. Take the Black comrades you encounter aside, ask them about their own experiences trying to liberate their communities, and share your own insights.
Many of us have lost the cultural understanding of being part of a collective struggle that Palestinians still possess and remind the world of. Help us raise our own level of consciousness.
9. Engage in politics of abolition
It should not be hard for someone who understands that the Israeli occupation, its prisons, settlements, military and system of ethnic supremacy must be abolished for Palestinian liberation, the occupying armies (military and police), concentration camps (prisons), and ethno-supremacist institutions of the settler-colonial United States must also be abolished for Black and Indigenous liberation.
With the same energy that the Palestine solidarity movement has pushed campaigns for boycotting, sanctioning and divesting from Israel's occupation, we must push campaigns to boycott and divest from US police and prisons.
Because even if we are successful in ending US military aid to Israel, that annual $3.8 billion would likely go to the US military or police over education, health care or social services.
Justice for Palestine must fit into a political program of abolishing US imperialism abroad and at home.
10. Seek the guidance of Palestinians who have engaged in principled solidarity with the Black struggle
There are people in the Palestinian community who have supported the Black community in the US long before Black-Palestinian solidarity became a popularized topic. These people are largely left out of movement spaces because they are not in contemporary organizations, because they are still busy being embedded in their communities, and because they are working class and can't take time for multi-day organizing retreats.
Find out how you can support them and spread their work. Make your own spaces accessible to their participation.
Finding new strength
The Black community is a complex ecosystem that needs to be nourished in order to thrive.
We have been weakened and on the defensive since the state's defeat of the Black revolution of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s – which was also the last moment of the Palestinian revolution's strength.
Think of the Black Panthers operating survival programs in Black communities, meeting with the Palestine Liberation Organization in Algiers, visiting Palestinian guerillas in Lebanon and exchanging statements with Palestinians in revolutionary newsletters: These are the conditions under which we can truly fight for our liberation as Black people and as Palestinians.
We, therefore, must do everything at our disposal to cultivate the conditions for the next iteration of Black revolution.
Our lives as Black people depend on it. And your lives do too.

Thank you, Kristian. As I'm sure you know, Israel deserves exceptional attention and pressure because they are the ones training US police officers in brutal tactics. Many countries are learning from Israel in this regard. But your article was very helpful to me and I will look into the suggestions you make.

The Treasury Department has issued a memo explaining how it plans to oversee transactions made using Bitcoins, the online currency that's currently trading for $60 a pop.
Although other U.S. agencies have done studies on virtual currencies, this marks the first time Washington has ever actually applied existing regulations to them, according to department spokesperson Stephen Hudak.
Banks, brokerage firms and other financial services are all regulated as money transmitters under FINCEN's rules. If they handle any transaction worth more than $10,000, they have to report it. Money transmitters are also required to report suspicious financial activity and keep detailed records on the funds they move. This means that, with the new guidance from Treasury, services that trade in Bitcoins will now have to do the same.

Apple MacBook Air 13in vs Apple's new MacBook Pro 13in Retina: Spec comparison
By Brian Westover 2013-11-15T09:00:00.318Z
Last month, Apple dropped a bunch of new products at a sprawling event that covered everything from iPads to software to a funky cylindrical desktop. But for a lot of shoppers, the biggest announcement was the new Haswell and Retina-equipped MacBook Pro laptops.
The new Apple MacBook Pro 13in with Retina Display is definitely impressive with its fancy screen and new hardware, but how does it stack up against the Apple MacBook Air 13in which was unleashed in the summer? With all of these new updates, the question on shoppers' minds is simple, even if the answer isn't: Which one should I buy?
The most affordable of the newly announced MacBook Pro laptops is the Apple MacBook Pro 13in with Retina Display (2013) with its starting price of £1,099. Of course, it's still pricier than anything most people would classify as budget-friendly.
At 13in and 1.57kg, the MacBook Pro is pretty light and compact; and with a thickness of only 18mm it's in ultraportable territory. Despite the slim build, the MacBook Pro still packs a wallop thanks to all new hardware.
The MacBook Pro features an as-yet unnamed fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, a dual-core CPU utilising Intel's Haswell architecture and running at 2.4GHz in the base model (with boost to 2.9GHz). This is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory. Unlike the solid-state drives (SSDs) found in other laptops and Ultrabooks, Apple uses memory soldered straight onto the motherboard instead of a modular drive, shaving off a few millimetres of thickness and allowing them to tweak the size and layout of the "drive."
Unfortunately, this also makes the MacBook Pro one of the most difficult laptops to upgrade or repair. If you were checking out the MacBook Pro with the hope of having more upgradability than a slim MacBook Air, you're out of luck.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13in has several features that the MacBook Air can't match. Chief among these premium features is the 13.3in Retina display, with its higher-than-HD native resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. The new laptop also gets the newest iteration of Thunderbolt, doubling the transfer speed to become Thunderbolt 2. If you've invested in Thunderbolt-capable storage or monitors, then you will be able to get more out of your accessories with the MacBook Pro, but if you're working with USB 3.0, the two systems are pretty much identical.
What you won't see on the new MacBook Pro (or the MacBook Air, for that matter) is an optical drive. As far as Apple is concerned, it's now legacy hardware that doesn't have a place on current systems.
The MacBook Pro comes with OS X Mavericks preinstalled, but with Apple's one-step upgrade, there's very little keeping you from having the new operating system on your MacBook Air. There is something that the new MacBook Pro offers that an existing MacBook Air doesn't, and that's the newest apps. All new Macs now come with all of the iLife suite (including iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand) and iWork (including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) apps for free.
The 13in MacBook Air has always had two major draws over the more powerful MacBook Pro: Portability and Pricing. The 13in MacBook Air may feature a similar 13.3in display and footprint as the MacBook Pro, but at 17mm thick tapering down to a vanishingly thin 3mm edge, the MacBook Air is still one of the slimmest ultraportables on the market. At 1.35kg, it's over 200 grams lighter than the MacBook Pro, and for the user on the go, it's still one of the most portable laptops out there.
It's also got the MacBook Pro beat on battery life. Where Apple estimates the MacBook Pro as having up to 9 hours of battery life, the MacBook Air is rated for 12 hours, and our own testing pegged it at 15 hours and 30 minutes. That sort of on-the-go battery life makes a huge difference in terms of real portability, letting you truly go all day without having to find a power outlet or bring along a charger.
The other big differentiator is price, though with Apple dropping the price of the MacBook Pro down to £1,099 for the base model, it's a narrower gap than in the past. That said, the 13in MacBook Air starts at £949, so there's still a draw for the budget-minded, though the 11in MacBook Air sells for an even more affordable £849.
While price is definitely a deciding factor, the difference between the £1,099 MacBook Pro and the £949 MacBook Air really comes down to portability and performance. The Apple MacBook Air is still the most travel-friendly laptop Apple makes, with hours more battery life and a thinner, lighter design. If portability is a priority, the MacBook Air 13in wins hands down.
The trade off, of course, is in performance. The Apple MacBook Pro has a more powerful 2.4GHz dual-core processor, complemented by Intel's Iris Graphics, and shown in all its glory with a high-resolution Retina display. The MacBook Air can't match that with its ultra-low voltage 1.3GHz Core i5, and while there may yet be a Retina-equipped MacBook Air in the future, right now, there's no question which is the better display. If performance and display quality matter, the MacBook Pro 13in with Retina display is the easy choice.

Strong sales growth is expected to be seen in dietary supplements over the forecast period. Among the main reasons for this are high healthcare costs and the increased emphasis on preventative healthcare, which are encouraging consumers to spend more on dietary supplements in order to support good health and avoid the onset of illness.
Combination dietary supplements accounted for at least two-fifths of total dietary supplements value sales in 2018 and this is expected to remain the case throughout the forecast period. Combination dietary supplements is a fragmented category offering a broad spectrum of products with varied positioning.
During the forecast period, dietary supplements manufacturers are likely to focus more on positioning their products as useful for preventing or minimising adverse health outcomes. Among the positions most likely to be taken for specific products are immune system boosting, heart health, bone health, memory function and energy boosting.
Local player Terapia Ranbaxy was able to hold top spot in the category in 2018 due to strong demand for its wide range of dietary supplements across numerous categories. The company represents the products of various international manufacturers and thus it is able to benefit from the international profile of its brands and its understanding of the needs of local consumers.
Dietary supplements is a highly-fragmented category and no player was able to generate a double-digit value share in 2018. In addition, very little separates the top six players, any of which has the potential to emerge as the strong category leader in future.
With the competitive environment in the category highly fragmented, the companies and brands present in dietary supplements will need to take steps to stand out from their competitors during the forecast period. As consumers are likely to expand the range of dietary supplements that they consume, it is expected that products will become increasingly targeted towards specific needs such as digestive health, immune system fortification, energy boosting and vitality and bone, heart, liver and skin health.

Варшавський трактат 1772 - міжнародний договір, укладений польським королем і сеймом з Російською імперією, Королівством Пруссія та Австрійською імперією у Варшаві і узаконений Перший розділ Речі Посполитої, проведений цими державами.

Коли Росія придушила і знищила Барську конфедерацію в Польщі, а Російсько-турецька війна наближалася до щасливого закінчення, король Пруссії Фрідріх II, побоюючись різкого посилення російської могутності завдяки перемогам над Османською імперією і повному переважанню російського впливу в Польщі, склав план розділу останньої, при чому Росія отримала б винагороду за турецьку війну в польських землях, а Пруссія та Австрія мали також отримати частину останніх. Він встиг схилити до цього плану Австрію та Росію. Три двори уклали між собою союз і зайняли своїми військами: Пруссія - східну, або королівську, Пруссію, Австрія - Галичину і частину Поділля, Росія - Білорусь.

Після цього скликаний був у Польщі сейм, маршалом чи президентом якого став, отримуючи 3000 червонців місячної платні від союзних держав, князь Адам Понінський. Сейм змушений був вирішувати справи з більшості голосів; протестуючі члени сейму, які не йшли на підкуп, були виключені, інші змушені призначити делегацію, яка мала укласти трактат із союзниками про поступку ним зайнятих ними земель. Це було виконано і трактат був затверджений сеймом. Росія отримала 2200 кв. миль та близько 1 500 000 жителів, Австрія - 1600 кв. миль та 2 500 000 жителів, Пруссія – 700 кв. миль з 900 000 жителів, залишивши, однак, Польщі Гданськ і Торунь.

Держави, які брали участь у розділі, гарантували Польщі недоторканність інших її володінь, а Росія, крім того, зобов'язалася охороняти встановлене в ній правління, зміцнюючи таким чином свій вплив у Польщі. Викликаний політикою Пруссії трактат їй і приніс найбільші вигоди, але поляки вважали головною винуваткою його Росію, і це збільшувало бажання їх скинути російський вплив.

Last 8 Minutes Of Avengers: Endgame Are The Best In Entire MCU, Says RDJ
Robert Downey Jr. promises the last eight minutes of Avengers: Endgame are the best in the entire history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey is one of the founding fathers of the MCU as the star of the franchise's very first film, Iron Man in 2008. He's since starred in all three solo Iron Man films as well as the first three Avengers movies. In fact, Downey extended his Marvel contract to appear in movies like Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming, cementing Tony Stark aka. Iron Man as one of, if not the most important hero in the MCU.
Downey will return alongside his fellow MCU stars for Avengers: Endgame, the culminating film of the MCU so far. The movie brings an end to the storyline the franchise has been developing since the very beginning, what Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige calls the Infinity Saga. Downey's Tony Stark will pick up where he left off in the cliffhanger ending of Avengers: Infinity War, dealing with the fallout from Thanos snapping away half of the universe. However, Tony is trapped on Titan with Nebula, whereas Captain America, Thor, Bruce Banner, Black Widow and Hawkeye remain on Earth. But while fans are looking forward what happens next, it's also sure to be a bittersweet ending to this decade-spanning storyline.

As Downey tells The Upcoming, Avengers: Endgame will deliver a spectacular ending. In fact, he claims the final few minutes of the movie are the best of any MCU film so far. Downey said, "The last eight minutes of [Avengers: Endgame] are maybe the best eight minutes in the entire history of the whole run of them, in a way, because everyone's involved." It's not entirely clear from Downey's quote, but it does seem as if he's confirming that the final minutes will be the best because all the heroes will be involved.
Prior to the release of Avengers: Infinity War, the number of characters involved was a major topic of discussion among fans, especially in regards to how they would be utilized. Now we know the characters were split into two major teams - one that faced Thanos on Titan, and the rest who battled him on Earth. And there were exceptions like Ant-Man and Hawkeye who didn't appear at all in Infinity War. The fact remains that Avengers: Infinity War failed to unite all the heroes of the MCU together in one scene, leaving the door open for Avengers: Endgame to deliver such a monumental sequence. Perhaps this is the sequence to which Downey is referring.
That said, he may also be referring to how Avengers: Endgame will wrap up the stories of the original Avengers. Downey and Evans are expected to wrap up their time in the MCU as Iron Man and Captain America respectively, and there's been a great deal of speculation about whether either or both will die. Although Avengers: Endgame features characters other than the original six Avengers, they're expected to be at the core of the movie and, especially, the emotional arc. So it makes sense that their arc would wrap up in the end, and perhaps Downey is promising a satisfying conclusion to the Infinity Saga.
Ultimately, fans will have to wait and see exactly what Downey is talking about when he teases the last eight minutes of Avengers: Endgame. Thankfully, with little more than a week left until Avengers: Endgame hits theaters, fans won't have to wait too much longer until they can see the movie for themselves.

A moderate walk (countryside) in Surrey, England, about 10.80km (6.71 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 3:45h. It is unsuitable for families with children, prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.
A gentle meander up towards Mickleham Downs, this walk gives you fantastic views from Box Hill without so much as breaking a sweat. An easy day trip from London.
Start the walk at Box Hill and Westhumble station.
From station turn right and go down road until you meet the main road (A24). Turn left onto a path taking you to a tunnel underneath the road. Go left alongside the road, and take the first right. Carry on up the road until you see Juniper Hall on your right.
From Juniper Hall take the first footpath on the left. Carry along the foothpath in the same direction until you reach the third crossroads of paths.
Go right at the junction of bridleways until you reach the open common area. Walk over the first track and take the second - going left to the top of the common. You should have reached a sign on the local wildlife - north edge of common.
At the top of the common turn right and take the first path on your right. This becomes a steep down hill which meets a minor road.
Take the uphill path to the left of Cockshot Cottage, reaching High Ashurst on your right.
Take the road left past High Ashurst, or the parallel bridleway. Bear right when the road forks.
Cross over the road onto the bridleway.
After enjoying the views from Box Hill go right on the path below the viewing point. Bear left (down hill) when the path divides. Cross the river at the stepping stones, or in winter go right and take the footbridge instead.
From the stepping stones (or foot bridge) carry on on the path until you meet the main road. Go right on path alongside the main road until you meet the tunnnel.
From the tunnel go left up the path and right into the same road you left the station from. End of walk.
Hi Mark, if you click on the printer icon in the topleft corner of your screen, it should display the walk with the instructions in clear white boxes, and the map on the righthand side, with no background. If that doesn't work, please email us with details of your browser (Chrome, Safari etc) and we'll take a look.
Looks like good walk....but can't print out because the background doesn't allow you to read the instructions.
It's about 6 miles - the info at the top of the page gives rough distances in km and miles. They usually underestimate slightly, so I would guess between 6 and 7 miles.
How long does this walk take in miles?
