Jamla (, also spelled Gamlah, Jumlah, Jamleh or Al Jamlah) is a village in southwestern Syria, administratively part of the Daraa Governorate and immediately east of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. It is situated on the eastern slopes of the Wadi Ruqqad valley. Nearby localities include Abdin to the south, the nahiyah ("subdistrict") center of al-Shajara to the southwest, Nafia to the east, Ayn Zakar to the northeast and Saida to the north. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Jamla had a population of 1,916 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.

History
The village likely has an ancient history, indicated by the large stone ruins in the vicinity, including that of a rectangular-shaped building. The area is marked by basaltic mounds called rujm, some of which rise to an elevation between 24 and 30 feet. Atop the summits of the rujm are delineated circles and squares stretching to widths up to 10 feet. These shapes were formed by blocks of rudely carved basaltic rock.

In  the Ottoman  tax registers of 1596, Jamla was located in the nahiya of  Jawlan Sarqi,  Qada of Hawran. It had a population of 7 households and 3  bachelors, all Muslims. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including  wheat, barley, summer crops,  goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 2,700 akçes.

In the late 19th-century Jamla was described as an impoverished village of 36 hut-like houses and a population of 160 Muslims. Arable land was relatively scarce, although there was significant pasture areas to the south. Figs and vegetables were cultivated by the residents in fields to the north and the southwest. There was an abundant supply of water deriving from the Ain Hamatah spring which fed a stream that flowed around the village and irrigated its crops. The residents owned the property of Tahunat Jamla, a small mill turned by the Wadi Seisun waterfall.

During the ongoing Syrian civil war, on 6 March 2013, Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade non-FSA-affiliated rebel fighters kidnapped 21 Filipino United Nations peacekeepers patrolling the border between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Brigade were reportedly in control of the village itself, but intense clashes were occurring around it. The fighters accused the peacekeepers of cooperating with the Syrian authorities in trying to "push the rebels out of Jamla" and demanded that the Syrian Army withdraw from the vicinity of Jamla in return for their release. They were after several days.

The town remained under the control of the Brigade, who affiliated to ISIL by late 2014. On 15 November 2015, Brigade head Muhammad "Abu Ali" al-Baridi and five other leaders were killed in a bomb blast in Jamla; Al-Nusra Front claimed responsibility for the attack. In late 2015, Jamla was reported to be a stronghold of the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade. When the Brigade merged into the ISIL-affiliated Khalid ibn al-Walid Army, it maintained control of the city through 2016 and 2017.

On 28 July 2018, the Syrian army recaptured the village of Jamla from Khalid ibn al-Walid Army.

On 21 June 2022, two Syrian soldiers were killed by an IED explosion on a road near the village.

President Trump Is A Wake Up Call, But Not For The Reasons You Think
Fri, 11 Nov 2016 13:45 UTC
Empire is only worth it for the 1%.
The fact that Donald Trump was elected President of the USA is largely irrelevant. What is relevant is the conditions that allowed for him to be elected President of the USA.
So what drove Americans to vote for either Trump or Hillary in this week's US presidential election? Ask the mainstream media, or any Hillary supporter, and they'll probably tell you it was issues like liberal values and social justice. They'll also tell you that Trump supporters were motivated primarily by racism, sexism, and hatred. In reality, Trump voters were just as concerned about social injustice. In fact, this is the issue behind most popular votes around the world these days. And ironically, Trump voters were arguably more concerned about social justice than the liberals who voted Hillary because the social justice that drove millions to vote for Trump is very different to the 'social justice' that concerned Hillary supporters.
Here we need to note the clear distinction between the working-class 'rednecks' in the USA, and some of those in a more upwardly mobile financial position. Most people who voted for Trump were the 'rednecks' and they did so because they are feeling the negative effects of 8 years of the Obama government's 'liberal' economic and foreign policies that have continued unchanged since the 'conservative' Bush years (you might wonder why that is and how it works - hint: the president isn't the 'decider', by a long shot). Those policies coincided with the 2008 'crash' and the bank 'bailouts' that saw millions of American homes repossessed and many traditional manufacturing job losses, both of which disproportionately affected the poor.
It was precisely this marginalization of the most vulnerable in society that was behind the Brexit vote in the UK earlier this year. Both the British people's vote to leave the EU and American people's vote for Trump were not primarily votes for racism or xenophobia but votes against the neoliberal status quo under which the poor saw their living standards drop further and everyone saw war and death abroad increase.
To underline the bipartisan nature of these protest votes; in the US it was the nominally 'left' government candidate that was rejected while in the UK the protest vote occurred under the nominally 'right' Conservative government. The point being; the supposed 'left'/'right' political paradigm in Western democracies no longer exists. It has been replaced by a combination of neoliberalism and neoconservatism, two fancy words that describe ideologies that together form the 'elite' project for transnational globalization and domination of the world's resources by corporations and their political friends through the 'projection' of US military power around the world.
So while the mainstream media, largely supportive of Hillary as the establishment candidate, spent the last 12 months spreading the line that Trump supporters are 'deplorables' and that Trump himself is a raging racist, sexist, xenophobe, liar, cheat, and narcissist, this was a gross lie that hid the truth that most Trump supporters were motivated by a desperate desire for better jobs, better wages, better health care (or any health care), etc. In other words, real social justice.
When Trump was offered to these marginalized and war-weary people as the only alternative to Hillary, they took the offer without much further thought. In addition, based on emerging voter poll data, it seems that it was not only the poor who rejected Hillary and all she stands for, but 54% of white male college graduates voted for Trump. Broken down by income bracket, while 52% of voters earning less than $50,000 a year voted for Clinton, and 41% for Trump, of the 64% of American voters who earn more than $50,000 a year, 49% chose Trump, and 47% Clinton. So, far from the core voter motivation in this election being one of 'anyone but Trump', it may have been closer to 'anyone but Hillary'.
That virtually all Hillary supporters, including a large number of interested observers around the world (especially in Europe), reacted to the Trump win with horror and dismay is evidence of the success of this lie peddled by the Western corporate media. It has also caused such people to express their 'shock' at the sudden and 'racist' turn of so many Americans, or to wonder how they could have missed this barbarity lurking at the heart of the 'world's greatest democracy'. The same people are also forced to use the same inane narrative to explain the fact that a majority of women voters stumped for Trump. Given Trump's comments about women, how else to explain this other than these women must all be - mentally-retarded rednecks'?
Such a 'view' is myopic in the extreme. Any woman who finds herself having to work 3 jobs and still unable to adequately feed her children or to have enough 'disposable income' to feel she has a decent standard of living, will have little problem overlooking sexist remarks or racist hyperbole by a potential president if he promises to address the serious issues that concern her and do away with the kleptocratic policies pursued by Obama (and by Clinton, and by the Bush administration).
Obviously, most of this underclass in the US are unlikely to be savvy political analysts with a deep understanding of the nature of the rapacious neoliberal/neoconservative agenda. But what they do understand is that if their livings standards have continued to fall under one government, then that government is responsible, and a change is in order. The question of whether or not Obama and Hillary, and the pathocracy they represent, are the true cause of poverty in the USA - they are - is irrelevant for the purpose of the point I am making: the underclass and war weary that voted for Trump did so NOT because they are 'dumb racist rednecks' but because they are the most socially marginalized and poorest in American society and Trump (sincerely or not) offered to help them. Their perspective, while simplistic, is far more perspicacious than that of the 'progressive', 'neoliberal' Hillary supporters, many of whom voted for Hillary simply because she wasn't Trump and she, as a polished establishment figure (and a woman no less!), could be relied on to secure them in their deluded, detached and mollycoddled worldview.
Hillary's Neoliberals
Most Hillary supporters were middle and upper middle class white people, many of them young 'millennials' or those below the age of 35. Some, but not all, of these people have grown up in a rarefied and delusional atmosphere of 'open society' multiculturalism where their 'progressive' social and cultural values reject any notion of traditional values, and by that I mean caring about someone other than yourself and your 'team'. It's more than a little ironic how all those liberals who talk endlessly about 'inclusiveness' and 'microaggressions' are the ones now rioting in the streets, spewing hateful invective and carrying out real "macroaggressions" against Trump supporters.
These are the people whose positions of relative social and economic security and lack of awareness of the levels of poverty in the USA and the brutality meted out by the US military (under Obama and Bush) to people of other nations, allows them to still believe in The American Dream and the freedom to angst over more abstract and 'cultural' issues. Issues like gay rights, women's rights (but not the rights of poor redneck American women or Iraqi women or Syrian women, or Libyan women) and 'liberal values', where everyone is free to be as self-absorbed and ignorant of reality as they please.
The highest turnout in support of Hillary was Washington DC. Just look at the images below for a graphical representation of the radical disconnect that exists between the Washington elite and almost 75% of the rest of country, who either voted for Trump or didn't vote at all. Again, it looks like the true message of this election from the American people was 'anyone but elitist warmonger Hillary'.
For Hillary supporters, having the first female president in the White House would secure and progress the neoliberal 'values', along with more transgender toilets, more immigrants and more of the wars that provide the immigrants. Of course, Hillary's supporters know little and care less about the truth of the neo-Trotskyist ideology of American hegemonic control over all natural resources through endless war and constant regime change for which Hillary and Obama stand. All they know is what they read in the establishment 'liberal media': that American foreign policy focuses solely on 'freeing oppressed people from brutal regimes' and bringing multicultural transgenderism and 'open society' to every corner of the world.
So one really has to wonder about the actual intelligence of these so-called progressive millennial and Hillaryophiles in general. A short lifetime of narcissistic popular culture appears to have left them without even the semblance of a BS meter. A case in point: over the last 2 days, oceans of millennial tears have been shed over Trump and his 'racist' followers, and yet, 20 years ago, President Bill Clinton, a 'lefty' liberal and avowed sexist (and rapist, some say), said more or less the same thing about illegal immigration. So why the angst now? Is it simply the fact that Trump is open about his crassness and racism rather than hiding it behind a well polished 'democratic' political exterior like Hillary and gang? Or is it that most millennials were only 10 years old at the time and they couldn't care less about history? If so, then the election of Trump might be a very good thing for America.
White House millennials as Obama welcomes Trump to the White House. Listen closely and you'll hear the sound of the world's tiniest violin.
The vitally important take-away message from the result of this election is that it is a wake-up call and one that every one of us needs to hear: 'You are ruled by a mostly unelected cabal of corrupt crony capitalist warmongers who have repeatedly bamboozled and divided you by changing political persuasion as often as you change underwear.' In their private lives, such people hold attitudes towards the American people (and ordinary people everywhere) that make Donald Trump look like Pope Francis. And while endless attention is given to the approved and encouraged 'concerns' of racism, sexism and transgenderism, these stewards of the American empire are killing hundreds of thousands of people overseas and supporting regimes that arrest, torture and kill homosexuals, women and political dissidents.
So for all those who voted for Hillary because they are worried about fascism coming to America, I have news for you: Donald Trump isn't it. When fascism comes to America, it won't be in the guise of a bumbling businessman espousing 'regressive' policies, it will come wrapped in the flag of 21st-century 'liberal' and 'progressive' ideals, espoused by a government that slaughters millions of foreigners in the name of freedom and democracy and yet enjoys the fawning adoration of a gaggle of self-centered, self-important wannabe humanitarian do-gooders. So don't kid yourself, American fascism isn't looming on the horizon because of President Trump; it's been your bread-and-butter for decades and you have, apparently, grown to like the taste.

Excellent article. Right at the target.
SeekinTruth · 2016-11-12T03:29:44Z
Yup, agreed. The idea that people don't care about surviving - when it gets harder and harder, no matter how hard they work - is preposterous. The media narratives have become so absurd, that less and less of even the dumbed-down-for-generations "masses" pay attention/believe them. Whatever Trump ends up doing (that's anyone's guess at this point, but he'll have plenty of obstacles to deal with if he really does want to make some positive changes), among his outlandish act, he said a lot of the right things as well - things that the media would much rather it didn't have to deal with. Things like "fake, manipulated economy," "rigged elections," etc. Bombshells the media and establishment really didn't even want to have to spin.

the devils in our midst
True and living saints--and even those we might classify as 'partial' or 'aspiring' saints--knowing full well that the path is long and arduous, do whatever they can to help the people on their way. This 'help' takes many forms, but it always constitutes what is genuine and right..
Devils, on the other hand--in human guise--and not knowing nor caring that the path is long and arduous, do whatever they feel like, to hurt the people on their way. This hurt also takes many forms and it is always a type of grandiose lie or invention.
One way is not as good as another.
And even figuring this out is not easy.

Exactly so.........
" And while endless attention is given to the approved and encouraged 'concerns' of racism, sexism and transgenderism, these stewards of the American empire are killing hundreds of thousands of people overseas and supporting regimes that arrest, torture and kill homosexuals, women and political dissidents. "
Maybe 'politically correct' has been used one-too-many times to cover up the political agenda?

About the 'racism' shtick
The problem here seems to be that all of the racism that is inherent in some human beings, and in this case those in the USA (that does not change depending on who is in the White House), is now being blamed on Trump. A nice little scapegoat for sure.
Meanwhile, most people are not racist or xenophobic, but voted for Trump because they had been screwed over, in one way or another, by Obama, and yet those people who voted for Trump for that reason, are being called 'racists'. Another nice little scapegoat for the warmongering establishment that is attempting to distract attention away from its brutality by raising the 'Trump the racist' and 'racism in the USA' flag.
And it makes me wonder if that establishment 'narrative' won't fall flat on it's face too. In the mud. Just like their 'narrative' about Hillary.

Income inequality and social injustice may indeed have figured as motivational reasons for voting for Mr Trump, as the article suggests. Just as important though, Mr Trump is a property tycoon surrounded by a large, evidently close knit and elegant looking family. Together they have been building places for people to enjoy.
Americans are extremely patriotic. They love their country and are generally proud to call themselves Americans, despite all the excesses that that has entailed. Maybe they are fed up of looking at the degradation of their basic infrastructure as well as their standard of living and quality of life and are hoping Mr Trump has unique development skills to bring to the table which will enable him to reconstruct and modernise their way of life.
For those
who don't know what I mean by "neo-Trotskyist ideology", that's pretty much the neoconservatives/neoliberals PNAC etc. PNAC founders like William Kristol etc, actually WERE trotskyists and communists in the 60s, adherents to the "communist" "permanent revolution" idea.
Of course, they weren't interested in the communism part, but rather the "international revolution" idea, whipping up populations into revolutionary fervor and overturning governments around the world to 'open up' those countries for the enrichment of the PNACers. So they changed hats, so to speak, and became 'new' conservatives and infected the Republican camp during the Bush years.
They then infected the left with the same ideology called "neoliberalism" because it had to pass lefty muster with a lefty 'liberal' name. The point being, their ideology can have any name that is appropriate for the times, but it's real name is "we rule the world".
An astute and insightful analysis of the election. With your Scottish background you were able to see the Americans as a complex group of people with differing views of the system and how it has worked. Joe you have written a powerful analysis of the voter psyche in a surprising clear and succinct manner. Congratulation on you spot on critique of the election. Any thoughts about running for office???
Scotland Ireland, close enough Nap! :-D Thanks! No plans to run for office. I'd be more likely to run from it!

Excellent article, Joe. Thank you for putting this together and sharing. One particularly interesting point you bring up is the disparity between the DC vote and the rest of the country. Very telling.

Anybody notice that Killary has made no complaints about voter fraud? So much evidence that she would 'do anything' to get elected, but she gave up with merely a whimper.
Okay, so what if the puppeteers gave up on Killary because she became an outright liability to them? Her failing health and un-hideable criminality might have been judged to be compete detriments to an effective Presidency (effective for them and not us, of course).
Trump, then, is merely the secret government's Plan B ('B' as in Bankruptcy King).
If he brings into his government only insiders, and the most lying and extremist of them (Christie? Giuliani? -- oh gods, please save us), then we really haven't achieved much.
Lastly, has anyone taken a look at Pence? Things happen, you know, and Pence does not look like the kind of person I want to see anywhere near power.
For some good news, enjoy today's holiday which I recently invented --- Quad-leven…you celebrate anything you want, at 11/11.11:11. You can celebrate twice.
Have a nice Quad-leven day!
Carlise · 2016-11-11T18:15:10Z
If the deep state think-tank folks have a plan B for Trump, I'll have a guess. Since their current schtick is 'Trump is an Islamophobic racist', the conspiratorial side of me would think along the lines of false flag terror attacks committed in Europe/US, a resulting rising tide of real Islamophobia, which would then be blamed on Trump. And more chaos for everyone generally.
But it may not go to plan for them.
Maybe Hillary made no complaints about vote fraud because there was vote fraud, in her favor.
forestkitty · 2016-11-11T16:22:37Z
i can explain low voter turnout. the pseudo-republicans who wanted clinton could not make themselves vote outside their party. the democrats who were real americans could not vote for death. it went against their conscience. trump won because hillary lost. the low voter turn out represented the real american democrats who refused to vote at all. in the end, her people stayed home. i think they saw the light. i have full confidence that trump can do the job. he already has experience in foreign relations in the building of his trump towers. probably more than any president that has run in a while. hillary's foreign experience was laid out for her by foreign powers which means she never represented america. i was a lifelong democrat until the spring of 2016. my neck is red and i am proud of it. but it's not red because i hate people of color. it is red because i love people of color. i love our individual uniqueness. appalachian people, bayou people, city people, coastal people, rocky mountain people, even new yorkers. i like excitement. i like the fresh and new. but i love tradition. i lot of people like to say americans have no culture. but in fact, we have plenty of culture. all mixed and blended into one. take jazz for example. right from the heart of the heart. we appreciate the classics, no doubt. but it is not something we cling to. i am yearning to hear a russian orthodox choir though. full throttle. something a little different, please.
Lisa Montez · 2016-11-12T03:38:53Z
Welcome! So glad when one more American sees the light! I voted against WWIII and for conservative justices who wouldn't force their ideology on us all. And, oh yeah, (hopefully) the death of political correctness, which is only a way to limit our free speech.

Reader comment
Yea, its always the same shit with a facelift, depending on the situation. These "liberals" make me wanna puke. It was similar in the UK after brexit. The narrative was the same, bigots, facsists, nazis and all that jazz. They even wanted to change the rules regarding referendums retroactively, to suit themselves. Then they wanted another referendum, completely undermining the whole point of a referendum in the first place. Talk about cognitive dissonance or what. The millennials probably don't know any better as many are spoiled brats, sorry i mean special snowflakes, whose parents obsessively worship them. But what parallel universe have their parents been "occupying" the last 30 years or so? Pathological ideologies tend to spread & infect everything when people are living comfortable lives and are not vigilant. " That can't happen here". Well it has and is. Seems like a micro version of the macro corporate death machine, if i cant have that then i'm just gonna throw my toys out of the pram, So There! I hope this does wake people up, because there could be more "shocks" in Europe in the not to distant future i reckon.

Stupidity question.
Please excuse me, I just woke up, so I didn't read the entire article or all of the comments. I noticed though that Trump got a .1 % less of the vote. Does this mean, the vote was stolen again ? I would appreciate an answer to my question. Well, thanks in advance.
Penelope · 2016-11-11T18:15:32Z
It means the whole election, and the whole system, is rigged anyway. So worrying about reported percentages of anything is pointless.

Here is the best summary of results I could find (I just woke up too). [Link]
I am not a student of the U.S. political system (thank goodness) but I believe that the attached link offers enough information to answer your question
I would say that 'fudging' of the numbers is pretty likely. Giving Hillary the popular vote has fueled the protests and US flag burning on the way to a sort of US "color revolution".
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/10/trump-protests-intensify-as-doubts-swirl-about-spontaneity.html
I'd say he got about 70% of the popular vote.
lilvoce · 2016-11-11T21:30:20Z
Astronaut -
Here's one take for you to add to the mix -
My wife (who voted Dem) says that the areas in which Hillary got her "majority vote" are high population areas (big city, urban centers, college towns, etc.) and Trump took outlying areas of much lesser population in inclusion across America.
If that's the case, that in itself tells me that these "high population" areas were targeted by the Hillary teams, as opposed to her campaigning all across America (as did Trump's teams) to reach as many people as he possibly could in his campaign.
Seems Hillary was not as active as she could have been.
Maybe she wasn't in the mood to get her message in person to the all the populace.
The rest she left up to the media to do the work for her, which is very likely, as she may have been hampered by perceived health issues and general distaste for public engagements.
Perhaps she has only herself to blame for the overall results?
Best view yet
Excellent take on the events Joe and although I am not in the U.S., I am close enough to say you have hit the mark.
Mr Meowgi · 2016-11-11T19:27:00Z
My wife and I are in that group of the unfortunates that were hit very hard by the collapse in 2008 and have suffered ever since. We both made more money in the 1990s and early 2k than now!!! I generally only vote in local elections but for some reason had to get up that day and vote against Killary. After seeing what her and her likes have done to the world at large my wife and I were both fed up beyond repair. She is a site chair ( Democrat ) at our local poling station and voted red down the line. We happen to live in Chucky Shummer's (sp) district as well as Louis Slaughter. Neither of them has done a thing for the commoners either. Do I actually think that Trump is going to make that much of a difference? We shall see. A good old fashion firing squad may help, but I don't want to end up in a deep dark hole listening to Insane Clown Posse or Metallica, with sleep deprevation and other such nasties being done to me.
What's wrong with Insane Clown Posse ? You some sort of elitist cat or something?
But I do understand your point, sheep deprevation would be the end of me
Speaking of the "losing factors"...
Thanks to Hillary's exposed underhanded dealing in the Primaries -
We'll never know how Bernie Sanders would have fared against Trump.
No wonder she made hardly a whimper at releasing the throne to Trump.
How could she have objected much more blatantly?
So, all you protesters... Put that in your pipes and smoke deeply before you band together for further forays into public humiliation.
We all know what you're really up to.

Let's get on with it
There is an important split unfolding here. It's between Liberals and the Left. Liberals howl about how bad Trump is. The Left claims Clinton is the greater danger. Liberals let the Hillary machine steal the Democratic nomination from Sanders. They're OK with that. The best of the Sanders crowd defected to the Left and said 'no way'.
Clinton is a mass murdering war monger, darling of the military industrial barons, Wall Street and the 1%. She stands for more cops, security surveillance, endless austerity while her lot loot and game the system. Clinton is corruption all the way. Outsource those jobs with 'trade deals', nothing and no future for you. With Clinton, the majority have no light at the end of the tunnel.
As Mumia Abu-Jamal has said 'If Trump is the price we have to pay to defeat Clintonian neoliberalism – so be it." Destroying the Clinton machine is what we have to see happen to better face down the right. Because, true progressives and the Left will never, ever trust the Liberals.
What i think!
It really doesn't matter who we think wins the election! It has no bearing on whats going to happen! The election is just a distraction to make you think you have a say in whats going on! Trump and Hillary are cousins! Funny how you need to be a billionaire to run for president! You cant have a billion dollars without being in the illuminati! The illuminazi fools you all again!
Donald Marshall tells you all how they are cloned and controlled that way! Did anyone see Hillary's eyes go black when she had her spasm? Thats because she is cloned! They are all cloned!......ALL OF THEM!
There is a video of some of the clones in bed! Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, Taylor Swift and heaps more all naked! One needs to ask the question how and why would you be seen naked while running for president with other men and women yet never be asked once by the media about it?
So check this out and make up your own mind!
You are a little behind on your research. One name. Check it out, Phil Schneider...He's dead btw, murdered. I checked your link, you 'll make everyone paranoid with that stuff. Because usually the truth is mixed lies. Relax earthling ;-) .

Both visitors and locals are often fascinated by Liechtenstein's groomed landscape that contributes to the high quality of life in the Principality. It is only thanks to the hard work of those in the agriculture and forestry industry that this landscape can be preserved in its current form.
Agriculture and forestry employ only around 0.8% of the workforce in Liechtenstein. While forestry activities are carried out by the state and municipalities, 125 private farms and more than 20 mountain farms as well as numerous hobby undertakings work the majority of the 40% of land in the country suitable for farming.
Agriculture is responsible for a range of issues important to the population in Liechtenstein. These include preserving the country's cultivated landscape, maintaining its many habitats, protecting the soil through careful land use and protecting the environment by using sustainable farming methods. Farmers see themselves as service providers tasked with maintaining the landscape. Around 35% of the farms in Liechtenstein are organic.
Liechtenstein's climate and topography mean that most of the surface area suitable for farming is grassland primarily used for grazing cattle and sheep. Around 1300 hectares are used to grow crops, with almost all of these fields located on the valley floor. Animal products, in particular milk and meat, are an important source of income for farmers. There are around 60 dairy farms in the country producing 14 to 15 million kilos of milk per year. Almost half of the gross output generated by the agriculture industry comes from livestock farming.
Liechtenstein's forests cover a total of 6865 hectares, equivalent to 43% of the country's total area. Therefore, forests are one of the main features of the landscape and in areas with steep mountain slopes protect the population from natural hazards.
Tree felling is carried out exclusively according to the principles of natural siviculture, with around 25,000m³ of wood cut down every year. The aim is to maintain healthy, structured forests comprising a good mix of trees appropriate to the respective location and able to serve a range of purposes in the long term.


SRSB client, supporter and volunteer Amy Rollitt credits what she calls: "The magic of Mappin Street," with giving her a new lease of life. Now she's got her mojo back she's on a mission to do all she can to help other people improve their lives too.
Amy's name will be a familiar one to anyone who reads the SRSB blog. She's written lots of the articles this year and also co-ordinates stories to be uploaded to the site. Taking on that challenge marked a turning point for the 29-year-old.
Amy's first real contact with SRSB was after her vision deteriorated to the extent that she had to stop working as a nursery nurse and was registered as sight impaired.
Then last year Amy agreed to do a mobility training course learning to use a guide cane. Despite her reservations about it she found it useful and it helped her develop her new-found confidence. That coincided with being asked to help at SRSB with the blog.
Now she comes into Mappin Street at least once a week and gets involved with lots of other things as well as the blog, including the new My Guide project which aims to help people with VI to get out and do the things they want to do.
"I love coming here. I find the writing very therapeutic. I just put down my thoughts about living with sight problems, I try to use a bit of humour too. I try to make people a little bit more considerate by writing about my own experiences. I am surprised by the good comments I have got. I'm encouraging other people to contribute too. Even if they cannot read or write very well we can find a way to make it work for them.
The other big change for Amy has been taking up a sport she loved at school – trampolining!
Amy's next goal is to return to paid work and she's working with Carolyn to explore the possibilities of training to be a counsellor. It's a goal for the coming year but she has already decided that whatever happens she will still make time to come into Mappin Street – and enjoy the magic.


The Vuscovi Empire (Vuscovi: Yѡi Iжxhiѵuni Vuscovю tr: The Vuscovi Empire), referred to non-Vuscovites as Tyvic, is a large nation on the west coast of The Gloaming North. It is at the forefront of the struggle between the worshipers of The Stallion and The Wolf, and has chafed against a long decline and loss of relevance in the march of industrialization.
The lands that became Tyvic were once an unaligned gathering of tribal, moons-worshiping Vuscovi principalities. They suffered depredations at the hands of powerful, Tearvingaul raiders, who stole already sparse crops and livestock. After his clan's steading was sacked and burned by the raiders, the now homeless Prince Yaroslav led his surviving Oath Brothers and set out to avenge his people. Future histories would argue the specifics of his campaign, with some claiming his actions to be justice proportionate to the wrongs committed by the raiders, while others claim that he perpetrated atrocities of incredible cruelty in the hopes of terrorizing the Tearvingauls into ceasing their rapine of Vuscovi lands. Whatever the truth, Yaroslav became known as "Yaroslav of the Red Spear," for his bloody victories. His quick response to Tearvingaul incursions inspired the other Princes to throw their support behind him, until he was able to lead an army of the united tribes to face a "Dark King," at the battle of Cold Streams Pass. The Vuscovi Druids, previously loyal to no Prince declared Yaroslav to be the appointed champion of Ollerus and Verthandi, the Red and White moons, and thus the only one fit to stand above all Princes.
Weary of Giant raids from the far north, the Equinex Archelaus II calls for the "Ride to End Giant Aggression," and grants all the nations of the north a joint Mandate of the Hassek Coast. Amongst the many nations of the North, Tyvic joins in confidence, crossing the North Sea to drive the Giants from the Hassek Coast.
After nearly fifty years of civil war, the latest Emperor of Tyvic treats with the rebels and cedes the north, which dubs itself Vasque.
Tired of the chaos to the markets caused by Southern instability and long desirous of bringing the heathen south into the Church of the Stallion, the Equinex convenes the College of Archbishops to gauge the peoples willingness to invade the south. It is determined that the Emperors of Gilderdammen and Tyvic could be easily persuaded to take up the cause. The Emperor of Gilderdammen is given the Mandate of Gozenram and the Emperor of Tyvic is given the Mandate of Quelosq, and the Church helps with fundraising to create the expeditionary forces necessary for an invasion.
The rise of Yaroslav beckoned the end of the age of the Prince and the birth of the era of the Tsar (Shortened from the Vuscovi Tsaar`d`ѵda, meaning "Champion Prince"). The era of the Tsars was characterised as an era of constantly shifting leadership, as princes and warlords ceaselessly jostled for the position of ascended Prince. The age only came to an end with the reign of Kalabai the Unconquerable, and is said to have set the stage for the coming reign of Emperors in the wake of The Stallion's reckoning.
Kalabai the Unconquerable (999 - 1055 S.R.) The last Tsar and the first Emperor, renamed Genkhita the First-blooded on his coronation. He is known as Kalabai the Traitor in Vasque.
The coming of the Stallion into the lands of the Vuscovites called for a shrugging off of the old ways of the druids to welcome the enlightenment of the Church and its values. No longer were rulers mere ascended princes of the old bloodline, but Emperors faithful to the teachings of The Stallion and the Equinexes.
Genkhita the First-blooded (1055 S.R.) Whilst having enjoyed a long reign as Tsar, Genkhita's life as emperor was pitifully short-lived, seeing his end spelled out by means of assassination at the hands of by wolf zealots who successfully stormed the Summer Palace in Voskrensenka, officially marking the start of the Vuscovi Civil War. His title is a reference to both his position as first Emperor and to his untimely death, and is a translation of the more inherently double-intentioned Vuscovi Anng`к`ѧ`, a word string comprised of "first" and "blood".
Yury I (1056 - 1111 S.R.) Genkhita's firstborn son. Oversaw the concession of Vasque.
Miкhyla I the Martyr (1200 - 1219 S.R.) Assassinated by wolf zealots whilst attending a diplomatic meeting and festival between Tyvic and Vasque, sparking a corrosively potent wave of anti-wolf hatred throughout Tyvic.
Miкhyla II the Blessed (1219 S.R. - 1257 S.R.) An Emperor characterised by a reign of absolute hostility to wolf terrorism and the Tsar of Vasque. His name and bloodline have forever since been known as that of warmongering and fundamental adherence to the ways of The Stallion.
Yury II (1257 - 1292 S.R.) Fought in many battles against the armies of Vasque.
Tsymѵoѵaк I (1406 - 1471 S.R.) An Emperor defined as a master craftsman and architect, having constructed some of the most beautiful Churches dedicated to The Stallion. His final church is said to be his greatest, on his deathbed wishing away a vast sum of his personal wealth to be dedicated to the construction his magnum opus. The church that would be built is today known as the Cathedral of Tsymѵoѵaк, and is located in southern Voskrensenka.
Neѵкsy the Unknown Martyr (1674 - 1699 S.R.) Assassinated by the rebel terrorist group Q`wolya, by means of a surprise attack within the halls of the Winter Palace in L'orlan, making him the first Emperor to be assassinated by a force of Wilushan origin. This event marked the official recognition of Wilushan Lunar Terrorism as a threat secondary to that of the ceaseless destruction of the Wolf's followers.
Miкhyla III the Fool (1700 - 1728 S.R.) A complacent ruler despised for his indifference to the atrocities of Vasque and Wilusha. His reign ended suddenly with a coup d'etat by the guardsmen of the soon to be named Yury IV and his respective dynasty.
Yury IV (1729 - 1745 S.R.) Oversaw the declaration of the Ride of Southern Liberation, and successfully lived to see it through, failure and all. Surviving two unsuccessful coups d'etat, Yury IV abdicated his throne in response to a widespread peasant's revolt, unsatisfied by the aftermath showing only the stealing away of their sons to fight a failed war in an unknown continent, the crumbling of the improperly managed national economy, and the unprecedented, opportunistic Vasqui conquests in the north by the Tsars Zarinsk and Tahkwo.
Odoa the Liberator (1745 - 1809 S.R.) Saw through a rule of brutal crackdowns upon the peasantry and an unrelenting strengthening of the policing powers of the state, successfully silencing the worst of peasant dissent. In the mid and latter years of his reign, Odoa championed the Qwym`ln Campaign against the raiding armies of Vasque, and was successful in reversing many the Vasqui conquests in the northeast of Tyvic. As for the conquered regions north of Voskrensenka, they proved far too risky to contest, chiefly in order to preserve the city's local lands from potential devastation, and to not detract any supplies, men and tactical efforts in the southeastern battlefields.
Baslye the Peacekeeper (1809 - 1829 S.R.) Held the regained territory in Qwym`ln in defiance of Voovian reaction. Baslye additionally pressured the then reigning Tsar Ananar into signing a treaty that demilitarised the lands between Zarinsk and Voskrensenka, declaring that if one side were to send troops into the lands, the other side was within its right to honourably invade them and their capital. In exchange for the treaty, Baslye allowed the lands to remain under Tsarist control. Since the treaty, the region has commonly become known as the Wunwoellands (Vuscovi: Ae Ѡun`woel`felкe, roughly meaning "The terror-peace Lands"). Baslye has since been hailed, especially in modern times, as the iconic peaceful and diplomatic Emperor.
Mixhelho the Great (1878 S.R. - 1959 S.R.) the longest reigning Emperor of Tyvic, remaining enthroned for a long eighty-one years before a natural death. His rule saw the adoption of many eastern attitudes in an attempt to further stimulate a modernisation and industrialisation of the Empyrian economy, including the freeing of peasantry from official serfdom and a recognition and legislative management of the newly born working class.
Le`on (1959 S.R.) Due to the long reign of his older brother, Le`on saw only less than a single year of absolute rulership before dying of kidney stones at the age of sixty.
Tsymѵoѵaк II (1959 S.R. - present) Current reigning Emperor of Tyvic, his reign has been characterised by a new era of attitudes regarding Tyvic's enemy in the north and the Vuscovi religious wars as a whole, with his influence and ideas being greatly fostered by the now departed Equinex Orchomenus II.
Tyvic is handicapped by an unindustrialised, largely feudal economy. Of its population, over eighty percent is peasantry, living for the most part in scattered villages isolated by an ubiquitous lack of communication save the speed of horseback messengers. To the Empyrian peasant, the village is for all purposes their entire world. In 1914 S.R., the peasants had been freed from serfdom in an attempt to modernise national industry, but in practice legislation efforts have changed little.
Industry is concentrated in a select few areas, with the greatest industrial centres, in order of developed infrastructure, being Nerushmy, L`orlan, and Voskrensenka, aptly named the "The Rich Triplets of Empyria", and are amongst the Emperor's most prized assets. In spite of this, a large proportion of industry is largely owned by foreign capital, especially in the eastern L'orlan, owing to its ties to Morbihannan in the east. The capitalist class is both minuscule and divided, and is almost entirely dependant of the state to remain competitive. The middle classes are entirely marginalised, almost non-existent, comprised mostly of factory floor managers, professors and economic intelligentsia, and government bureaucrats. Practically all members of this demographic shade more into lower middle class than upper, especially due to their greater dependence on the capitalist class and the state to remain afloat. As for the working class, it too is minuscule, although they are drastically relevant to the Empyrian industrial economy. The working class comprises approximately 15% of the population, and are completely concentrated in the three industrial centres.
Although its economy is stunted, Tyvic boasts vast natural resources. Untapped reserves of coal and metal ores, lumber, and rich farmland are amongst the most valued of resources, all of which is currently worked by the peasantry, and forms the backbone of the Empyrian economy. Collectivising peasant labour and hopefully birthing a new working class in the country to more efficiently harvest raw materials are the two most pressing goals on the minds of the Empyrian economic elite. A third, absolute long-term investment, is the construction of a railway, connecting Salaluce in Morbihannan to Nerushmy, then running north through the forested countryside, weaving through the central Nakonnan mountains before finally reaching Voskrensenka.
Outside of the classes necessitated by capitalism, the feudal system is alive and well. The Emperor still resides as the absolute ruler of not only workers and capitalists, but of nobility and ecclesiastical officials, the latter two of which make up perhaps four percent of the population (not counting of the many thousands of peasant priests and other clergy that run village churches).
The Church retains significant power within the nation, thriving off the fruits of nation-wide tithes collected from all not associated with the inner workings of the Church. Like many state-official Churches throughout the continent, the Empyrian Church is free from tax, and is utterly autonomous in its ability to request necessary money from the greater Church network that ties all Stallion-adherent nations, funding religious programs, charities, hospice and research. The Church is additionally regarded as the core of Tyvic's musical and artistic lifeblood, actively funding the production of symphonies and hymns, as well as statues, paintings, mosaics, and intricate textiles, so long as they are of a religious nature. In Vuscovi, the Church is known as Yѡi Slaѵol`xho`schtal.
Nobility, as it has for centuries, still governs the multiple counties, shires, parishes and boroughs of Tyvic, dividing Tyvic into 62 such regions. The modern era has seen a radical change for Empyrian nobility, not only threatening their relevance to the state, but also giving rise to a powerful incentive to all noblemen and women to invest in wealth-producing estates - such as factories, docks, lumber camps or mines - and in the exchanging of stock on the national and international market, not just the nobles who own them, but as fully-fledged businesspeople.
Naturally, the obscene factory conditions in the three industrial centres has led to civil unrest and strikes by militant layers of the working class. Workers have had, for the entirety of their infantile history, practically no real rights outside of conditions granted to them by their employers, and coupled with similarly treated people of Morbihannan, ranks as perhaps the worst conditions for workers throughout the continent.
Average working days for Empyrian workers span from 10-12 hours a day. There is no minimum wage, no sick leave, no penalty rates. Minimal rights exist for women and children, allowing both groups of this demographic to stay at home so that children can be adequately raised. Whilst born from a rather unprofitable and macabre high death rate of working class women and children in factories and mines, threatening the sustainability of the population, problematically, this places more pressure on male workers to work longer hours so that they can feed their families. Unions, when they are not rooted out and crushed by the state, exist only as government-fed bodies intent on placating the working class as much as possible in favour of one-on-one negotiation with bosses. Additionally, health and safety is abysmal. Empyrian urban workplaces are typically large factories, mines or construction sites, where there is a constant threat of falling debris such as girders, bricks or even tools, or even workers falling. Training is often rushed and insufficient, with the weight of most instructional procedures simply being the act of telling workers to get on with their job and not to be killed, lest they lose it to somebody more deserving. This not only results in possible dangerous usage of machinery, but also collapsing construction frameworks, burns, and even electrocution in the most modernised of workplaces. Because of their material interests, including slightly higher wages and job security, factory floor managers are also more inclined to be an additional health and safety threat, in terms of verbal and sometimes even physical abuse carried out on workers not meeting workplace production quotas.
However, civil rights have been won through what some call as a "two-pronged effort". Firstly, strike action by thousands of workers in the three key industrial capitals, freezing profits until demands are granted, has succeeded in winning nine or eight hour days in the city of L`orlan. A minimum wage has also been a major campaigning goal, however it is stiffly opposed by capitalists, wielding the rhetoric of international competitiveness like a rapier. Worker's councils are also on the slow rise, focussed strongly on collectivising and standardising workplace knowledge and construction procedures to better improve training procedures, as well as to pinpoint potential safety threats for the betterment of all workers on a particular site. Militancy is rather non-centralised, largely sparked by raw material circumstances and the unified interests of working class people to live less pathetic, dangerous lives. Until recently, the workers had a powerful ally in the Equinex Orchomenus II, himself of Vuscovite heritage. The Equinex visited several factories with a reporter for the Selvanesco Guardian in his entourage, and even spent a night in a miners' barracks.
The second prong, so to speak, is the interests of more progressive members capitalist class, especially those of the east. Seeing a window of opportunity in this civil unrest, many have adopted a campaign of "morality, liberty and equality", not only supporting rights of workers so that workplace efficiency is increased tenfold, but also to heighten their own power over the state, the Church and the nobility, campaigning for constitutionalising the crown, and even apparently democratising the lower house so that it is no longer an all-nobles club run by nobles elected by other nobles. This campaign has been met with wide support from large sections of the working class, hoping intently that they keep their promises.
Whilst not a widespread idea, there are also a few who wish for Eastern Empyria to succeed from the Greater Tyvic, having long grown tired of its costly war with the unconvertible zealots of the north, the backward legislation and ideas that still dominate the Empire, as well as the Emperor's apparent obliviousness to the wealth of opportunity the eastern ways have to offer. The handful who support these ideas are even occasionally referred to the spearhead of the democratic movement; and indeed, the foundation of a democratised parliament will ultimately be the very spark that will make these striped flag toting ideologues turn into radical and committed separatists, seeing a pathway through populism and a fostering of eastern-Empyrian cultural unity.
↑ Vuscovi word meaning "southerner", from the root word "Empyria"; i.e. "(the) south"

The Fadden ministry (Country–United Australia Coalition) was the 28th ministry of the Government of Australia. It was led by the country's 13th Prime Minister, Arthur Fadden. The Fadden ministry succeeded the Third Menzies ministry, which dissolved on 28 August 1941 following the resignation of Robert Menzies as Prime Minister. A subsequent joint meeting of the Coalition parties elected Country leader Fadden as Menzies' successor. The ministry was replaced by the First Curtin ministry on 7 October 1941 after the independent crossbenchers Alexander Wilson and Arthur Coles withdrew their support for the Fadden government and voted with John Curtin and his Labor Party to bring the government down in a de facto no-confidence motion.

Percy Spender, who died in 1985, was the last surviving member of the Fadden ministry; Spender was also the last surviving minister of the first Menzies government and the Fourth Menzies ministry. John McEwen was the last surviving Country minister.

16 – Shop in Curraheen
My grandmother, Johanna Mary Kelleher was evicted as a child and grew up in Carriganimma. She returned to Ballinora, married and having that entrepreneurial spirit in her decided to open a grocery shop. The big Laurel hedge is still there today. It is on your left as you go west for the Ballincollig bypass, and if it could speak it would tell a fascinating story, involving a glass of water, the old IRA, my grandmother and a very narrow escape.
Back in the time of British Occupation of Our Native Land, when Ballincollig Barracks was full of Crown Forces, when the Black and Tans had full permission to do whatever they liked in relation to the Irish people, a young British soldier was on duty between the forge in Curraheen and Logan's farm, now owned by the Hobbs family. His duty was to march up and down from the forge to the farm. It was a very very hot July day. The soldier was dressed in full marching uniform, buttoned up to the neck, rifle on his shoulder and full heavy kit on his back. Up and down he had to march. Hours passed. The sweat ran down his forehead, but up and down the road he had to keep walking. Apparently he could be no more than eighteen years of age or thereabouts, maybe from London, Yorkshire, Manchester or Canterbury, and it is possible his parents or grandparents could be from Dublin or Donegal. Johanna Mary took pity on the young man as he was perspiring profusely, almost to the point of faint, as he marched up and down the road, on point duty in the heat. Her soft nature got the better of her, and she put history to one side, placed a glass of cold water into the middle of the Laurel Hedge, waited until he was passing, made a soft hissing sound, to attract his attention as he marched by. Then she waited on her own side of the Laurel Hedge. He marched up and down two more times, stopped opposite the glass of water, quickly put in his hand, grabbed the glass, and drank it down like a man dying of thirst. In those brief few seconds, wasn't he seen, and it was reported that Johanna Mary had cooperated and assisted the ENEMY. Were it not for the fact that Johanna Mary had ''connections'', the incident itself was regarded as trivial enough and her family background had shown great loyalty to the Land League cause, Johanna Mary would have been in deep trouble with the local Kangaroo court system in session during those dangerous troubled times. The incident itself did not affect her business The shop was old style, with timber counter and small open fire. My mother took it over when Johanna Mary died, and along came the second world war. My mother became known as Maggie the shop. The shop sold everything and anything. You name it, Maggie the shop had it – be it coal, meal for the hens, cigarettes, chocolates and sweets, and during the second world war she had a tea contract from Hosfords in the North Main Street in Cork City. People came from far and near with their coupon books to get some tea that was seriously rationed during war time. Hosford's never reneged on their contract, and everybody considered themselves very lucky and more than very happy to collect their tea at the shop. In the 1960s Bishopstown expanded, supermarkets arrived with bulk buying and Maggie the shop could no longer compete. She knew the game was over when she found herself buying goods cheaper in DUNNES STORES than she herself could buy them at a wholesale price from her Suppliers. It closed in 1969.

See Sheen & Son's latest -- "The Way"
In another amazing example of different organizations working together, BIFF is happy to announce that the Boedecker Theater at the Dairy Center for the Arts, 2950 Walnut St. in Boulder, is showing the latest directorial effort of Emilio Estevez, "The Way." This film stars the director and his father, the latter of whom you may have heard of -- Martin Sheen?
This moving and complex spiritual epic was completed in 2010, and the unique collaboration between father and son is riveting. It is an excellent reminder of why Mr. Sheen is our guest of honor at BIFF on Saturday, Feb. 18, at the Boulder Theater.
In the film, Martin Sheen plays an American doctor who comes to France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking the Camino de Santiago, or The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, he decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. "The Way" was filmed entirely in Spain and France along the actual Camino de Santiago.
"The Way" marks the seventh film collaboration of father and son. Here's a lovely interview in America Magazine outlining the creation of the project, which stemmed from a pilgrimage Sheen and Taylor Estevez, Emilio's son, took along the Camino in 2003. (During that trip, Taylor met his future wife!)
So don't miss this wonderful film, not least so that you can ask Martin about it when he comes to town. It plays on Friday at 4:30 p.m.; Saturday at 3:30 and 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 7 p.m.! See you there!

Remembering Michael Jackson: A Message From The Estate.
Re: Remembering Michael Jackson: A Message From The Estate.
Thank you WATW for posting, and a BIG thank you to everyone that is a part of the Estate. Thank you for keeping Michael's legacy alive.
Hello, I hope everyone takes a look at the post I set up for Happy Birthday wishes for Michael. So much I could have went on about like his compassion and love for his planet, his unlimited donations to charities, his major love for his fans but I wanted to keep mine short which those of you who know me is something very hard for me to do. Have a cupcake or a whole cake for MJ today. AND don't forget to make a wish when you blow out the candle like he did before anything he did!


Years back, when Nike was just starting to feel around for its Next Big Thing, its designers asked athletes what they really wanted in a performance shoe. The answer, oddly enough, was something like a sock--form-fitting, comfortable, and unobtrusive. That insight led to the development of Flyknit, a totally new shoemaking process where basically everything but the soles and the laces exist as a single piece of fabric, knit by a computer-controlled Grandma (actually a 15-foot, yarn-munching machine).

Q: Making checkboxes in columns work with 'display:none' In my UI, if both a region and its country checkbox are selected you can see both the region the and its countries on the right hand side.  If only the country checkbox is selected, the relevant countries are put into an 'Ungrouped countries' box. See fiddle:  http://jsfiddle.net/m92hfs0b/
I'm trying to display the countries to a maximum of 3 columns, whether they are
displayed under their region, or whether shown in the 'ungrouped countries' box.
The country order needs to be from left to right.  I've tried using advice from the many posts here, including inline block, CSS columns, etc, but each seems to stop the 'display:none' from working, while 'visibility: hidden' doesn't solve anything either.
Any help really appreciated.

An adult beverage comprised of Jolt! Cola and Bacardi 151 Rum, in roughly 2:1 proportions. Serve over ice, with a squeeze of lime.
A drink made using an small amount off the top of each of the bottles in your parent's liquor cabinet. The intention is that they don't realise their 15 year old is stealing all their piss, although after a few times it must be pretty obvious, even to the most naive parent.
The name reflects what it feels like you're drinking. It's not really worth the effort - make nice drinks instead.
Basically, this stuff comes in measly 100g plastic pots because it's so unbelievably strong. I had two heaped teaspoonfuls in a mug of hot chocolate - because quite frankly, it doesn't taste very nice WITHOUT the hot chocolate - and it's kept me awake for the last 10 hours without any hint of sleep creeping up on me, even through the alcohol-induced haze. In fact, when I downed the entire cup in one go, my body started overheating - my face getting extremely flushed and my lips reddening to the point where it looked like I was wearing lipstick(I wasn't).
This powdered form that I probably shouldn't have consumed earlier on apparently contains 1.75% guarana extract. It's not explained what exactly is extracted from the guarana; but judging from the general purpose of this beverage I'd say it definitely includes the caffeine content.
The same brand also comes in a sort of self-heating espresso shot, however, which I've only managed to find in tesco's so far. This neat little package consists of basically a plastic tube with some relatively thick cardboard packaging wrapped around it - the plastic tube is essentially a container filled with a couple of chemicals(No idea which at the moment), which react exothermically when mixed to heat the entire container up. Another container inside the one holding the two reactive chemicals contains some cold, ready made espresso.
All you have to do is press the convex button in the bottom of the outer container inwards so it becomes concave, thus releasing one of the chemicals - shaking it then mixes the two and heats up the espresso shot inside, giving you an instant, piping hot espresso boost. I can't say it had quite the same effect on me as the ordinary powdered form did, though - probably because there's less there.
Update: It looks like they're now selling Rocket Fuel tea. Apparently it's the same principle - just standard tea(In tea bags) but with added guarana. It tastes pretty good, imho, and definately has more of a caffeine kick than the regular tea I drink. What more can be said?

New Balance Beats Chinese Company In 4-Year Long Dispute
The lawsuit filed against New Barlun in 2016 comes to a head as sportswear brand New Balance reclaims its renowned 'N' symbol in late April 2020.
New Barlun, a Chinese firm involved in multiple disputes against New Balance spanning a time frame of 16 years, has been ordered to pay damages of 10.8 million yuan (US$1.54 million) to the Boston-based sportswear company. The Shanghai Pudong People's Court has ruled that New Barlun's use of the 'N' symbol would mislead customers due to its similarity to New Balance's trademark logo.
Battle against copycats and counterfeits
New Barlun poses little competitive threat to New Balance, a company that has solidified its position as one of the top 10 sportswear brands in China. The weight in New Balance's victory lies less in commercial interests but more in fighting back against the poorly regulated counterfeit market in China – a market of which, according to reports from OECD and the EU's IP Office in 2019, was worth US$509 billion, or approximately 3.3 percent of all worldwide trade. The majority of counterfeit goods were discovered to be originating from China and Hong Kong. New Balance's win against New Barlun is perhaps a reflection of China's increasing capacity to take active control in protecting intellectual property rights.
An Issue with Sportswear Brands
Just two weeks prior to the judgement of the New Balance case, NBA star Michael Jordan prevailed in a copyright infringement case against Fujian-based Qiaodan Sports (SCMP, 2020). The verdict from China's highest court indicates that the Chinese company was found guilty in the unlawful use of Jordan's Chinese name, Qiao Dan.
However, international companies have repeatedly failed to protect their trademarks in China in the past. Jordan himself has struggled against Qiaodan Sports in other copyright infringement cases, such as similarities shared between the 'Jumpman' logo used by both Qiaodan Sports and Nike, the sportswear company representing Jordan. It is recorded that Qiaodan Sports has registered 200 trademarks associated with Jordan.
The end of China's counterfeit market?
The two cases appear to be an active implementation of the phase one trade deal signed with the United States back in January 2020. As a result of the trade deal, China is in the process of formulating a strategy on intellectual property protection, one that is predicted to call upon US interests such as trademarks and enforcement against counterfeit goods.


When taking a peek at the Pac-12 conference standings, two teams stand out from amongst the pack – Arizona and Utah. With a crushing win over Washington on Friday night, Arizona bounced back from its surprising loss to rival Arizona State on Feb. 7. It had a blistering win over conference rival Oregon – a team which also deserves some tournament consideration – and followed it up two days later with a win over Oregon State on January 28 and 30 respectively.
Utah, meanwhile, has solidified itself as the No. 2 team in the conference, despite being unable to perform well against nationally-ranked opponents.
And while Stanford was once in the NCAA Tournament discussion not too long ago, has it played its way into the NIT?
To forgo any speculation, here's a look at the resumes of these three teams.

The passion in the photos of Christopher Thomas
My best friend in London brought to my attention a fascinating photographer which admittedly was new to me. Munich-born artist Christopher Thomas is better known for his New York Sleeps, a series of photographs of city monuments and landmarks shown in the early morning before the hoards descend. The rich and sensual tonality of the image, coupled with its very plastic quality serve to modify our perception of architecture.
But while New York Sleeps is a very cool group of photos, I'm more partial to his newer body of work entitled Passion, in reference to the Passion of Christ. In this series, Christopher is intent in showing the human emotions of pain, sorrow, and resignation in his characters. My favorite is shown above. The frame shows a dark cavernous room and only the back of a fleeing woman in white linen robes. The image is so powerful, the viewer can sense her moment of despair without even viewing her face.

Haile Selassie I, was an Ethiopian regent from 1916 to 1930 and emperor from 1930 to 1974. He is a defining figure in contemporary Ethiopian history born July 23, 1892, Ejersa Goro, Ethiopia and assassinated August 27, 1975 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He is also a symbolic figure in the Rastafari movement or Rasta religion in the Caribbean which emerged out of Jamaica. In the Rasta religion, Haile Selassie I, is seen as their messiah as he visited the island of Jamaica on Thursday, April 21, 1966. Many oppressed people of the island started a movement the movement rejected the fact they a black man cannot have a white messiah due to oppression and racism caused by slavery at the hands of the white man and on his visit to Jamaica saw him as the messiah. Haile Selassie I is synonymous with Bob Marley, reggae music, Marcus Garvey and marijuana smoking in the Rastafari movement. Haile Selassie I which in english translated "Power of the Trinity," born Lij Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael was a member of the Solomonic Dynasty who traced his lineage to Emperor Menelik I via his Shewan royal ancestors as a great-grandson of king Sahle Selassie daughter of Sahle Selase was mother of Woldemikael. Haile Selassie's father was Makonnen Wolde-Mikael Guddisa and his mother was Yeshimebet Mikael (Daughter of Ras Ali of Bete Amhara/Wollo). His internationalist views led to Ethiopia becoming a charter member of the United Nations, and his political thought and experience in promoting multilateralism and collective security have proved seminal and enduring. At the League of Nations in 1936, the emperor condemned the use of chemical weapons by Italy against his people during the Second Italo–Ethiopian War. His suppression of rebellions among the landed aristocracy (the mesafint), which consistently opposed his reforms, as well as what some critics perceived to be Ethiopia's failure to modernize rapidly enough, earned him criticism among some contemporaries and historians. During his rule the Harari people were persecuted and many left the Harari Region. His regime was also criticized by human rights groups, such as Human Rights Watch, as autocratic and illiberal. Among the Rastafari movement, whose followers are estimated to number between 700,000 and one million, Haile Selassie I is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate. Beginning in Jamaica in the 1930s, the Rastafari movement perceives Haile Selassie as a messianic figure who will lead a future golden age of eternal peace, righteousness, and prosperity. Haile Selassie was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian throughout his life. The 1973 famine in Ethiopia led to Haile Selassie's eventual removal from the throne. He died on 27 August 1975 at the age of 83, following a coup d'état.
Most Eritrean and Ethiopian people look alike and the two countries has similar history and are neighboring countries of East Africa however most Eritreans do not like to be mistaken for Ethiopians. This may have stem from the war between the two countries that happened decades ago during the time of Haile Selassie I. This may also be because of The Eritrean–Ethiopian War, one of the conflicts in the Horn of Africa, took place between Ethiopia and Eritrea from May 1998 to June 2000, with the final peace only agreed to in 2018, twenty years after the initial confrontation.
Nipsey Hussle and Haile Selassie I have East African roots and are northeast African descendants. Both are legends and are people loved universally in the world and are also look alikes with a similar past and demise. Both fought for a cause had a warrior spirit. Ethiopia and Eritrea share a similar land and a similar heritage.


The aircraft departed Weston Airport (EIWT) with the intention of carrying out a solo navigation exercise under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to Kinnegad, Co Meath, returning to EIWT. Shortly after passing close to the town of Enfield the Student Pilot noted a band of cloud and rain to the south of their position. In order to remain in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), the Pilot elected to divert to Trim Airfield (EITM). Having located what was thought to be EITM, and with poor weather closing in, the Pilot attempted a landing. The aircraft touched down on an area of tilled soil to the south of the prepared grass runway. The aircraft also 'landed long', in that it did not touch down at the beginning of the chosen landing area, and due to the soft soil, when the brakes were applied, it pitched tail over nose and came to rest inverted. The Pilot sustained minor injuries.
