During my annual visit to Mayberry-for-Hippies, AZ, I fall back into the polemics of a classical approach to life, rather than the romantic approach. Oddly enough, it is the scenery that crystallizes the issue for me.
This is ranch country, as well as mountains and forests. Therefore it is useful for grazing cattle. That leads to food, a practical and unromantic thing. The land isn't just here to gush over as scenery, although in fact, I love it as scenery.
It has never interested me much to try to 'solve' the conundrum of classical versus romantic. A reductionist approach to life seems unappealing. To hell with looking for magic recipes that explain everything.
All that interests me is to watch this dualism operate on different things, and to see how the balance changes over the years. Indeed, I do become more classical every year, but that doesn't mean that the classical approach to life is some sort of philosophical monad.
Why Is It Easier to Appreciate Things, With Time?
Surely I am not the first person to notice that he can now appreciate things that he used to yawn at, or even positively dislike. Perhaps it really is true that 'it is a shame that Youth is wasted on young people..."
For example, the other day I came back from a tour of a historic ranch, in arid Arizona, and rewatched the movie, "Jean de Florette." I liked it the first time I saw it, 30 (!) years ago. But this time I was cooing with pleasure. How do you explain this?
The movie is easy to like -- despite being French: dry rural scenery in southern France, farms and old stone buildings, a musical score inspired by Verdi's "La Forza del Destino" a beautiful girl, and a depiction of a different way to live, about a century ago. Even the story was pretty good, which is the last thing you have a right to ask from a movie.
One of the uses of old age is to develop the "muscles" that can actually improve with age. By that I mean developing the capabilities and habits of Appreciation, Gratitude, and Admiration. Today's focus is on Admiration.
I once used an inspiring speech by an anti-hero, "The Hustler," in the 1962 black-and-white film noir movie starring Paul Newman, George C. Scott, and Jackie Gleason. But before re-quoting it, let's first ask why it inspired at all. Art, according to Tolstoy's "What is Art", is not really about "beauty," as most people mistakenly suppose; rather, Art is the infecting of the viewer/reader with the emotional experience of the artist, by words, pictures, or sounds. And the makers of "The Hustler" certainly did that to me.
To be a happier novel-reader I need to find books that remind me of Lean's movies. By luck I did. Tolstoy's "Hadji Murat" was written late in Tolstoy's life. The short novel took place in the same setting where young Tolstoy served in the Czar's army, the Caucasus, between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea.
Silver City, NM. Today confirms an ever-strengthening prejudice of mine that pain and pleasure are linked in a dialectic, and that Comfort is the great false Idol of the tourist and RV newbie. There is a pleasure unique to a morning like this.
On my drive back into New Mexico I saw tumbleweeds ensnared in the upper horizontal members of utilitypoles. "Only in southern New Mexico," I smirked. But actually the wind has been howling in this entire quadrant of the country. It doesn't bother me as much as it does some people. Still, it does take its toll on you. You begin to feel like you are under constant assault.
And now this. Perfect calm, perfectly blue skies, clean air. At my dispersed campsite, a turkey vulture is searching vainly for a thermal; it is too cold. Until then it can only do languid spiral loops over the grassland.
There are definitely times of the year when it is good to live in the highlands of southern New Mexico, weather-wise that is. But you always lose on something. Mother Nature is rather bleak in spring here. The plants and flowers go crazy in September after the monsoon season, rather than in spring. Basically spring is good for longer daylight, warmer temperatures, and high winds.
The texture of fields gets pretty beaten down by late winter and spring. It does not green up. That's why I took this photo: here was a spot that was holding its beauty all the way through a cold winter.
What's so beautiful about it, you might be asking? Well it is beautiful, in context. Of course, photographs don't give the seasonal or temporal context of anything, and that's probably why I will always be in the Edward Abbey school of camera haters.
We can all agree that the last thing this blog needs is another photograph of curved bill thrashers, red tailed hawks, or grassland texture. But I can't help it; I'm obsessed with the perfect photograph of certain things, and dew-chandeliers are one of them.
Besides, sweet obsessions are one of the under-rated pleasures of life.
South of Tucson, a couple springs ago. Full time RVers are often asked whether they have found 'that perfect place' where they will settle down. It might be meant as a yes or no question, but it usually evokes a long-winded answer. Why must there be only one? In fact on the mountain bike ride today we got a glimpse of land that brought a lump to my throat. It's not many people's idea of the perfect postcard, but I like it so much that I visit every year.
Elephant Head, in the background, is one of my fiducial points--an important reference point that measures the year. It's the grasslands that attract me the most, I suppose.


Voice: Usually silent in winter.
Habits: Swims with body low and erect neck, both male and female perform elaborate courtship display. Breeds in Ladakh between 4700 and 5200m from June to August, also known to breed in Gujarat, winter migrant up to Vindhyas.
Sexes alike, but the diagnostics less developed in female. Adult: A tailless aquatic bird charracterised by slender white neck and straight pointed bill, two upstanding, backwardly directed ear tufts above head and a frill of chestnut-and-black elongated fearthers below the head. In winter (non-breeding) these 'ear tufts' much reduced, and in young birds absent. However, it has the black forehead, crown and crest, a blackish line from gape to eye, white lores and sides of the head, chin and throat, dark nape and back, mottled brown and rufous flanks and white underparts. Juvenile: Similar to non-breeding but has brown striping on cheeks.
Breeding season: June to August. Nest- a conspicuous mass of water weeds c. 45 to 60 cm. in diameter with a depression in the middle, on floating mounds of grass and rubbish 20 to 100 meters from the bank, loosely anchored to growing weeds. Eggs- 3 to 5, very pale sea-green with an overlay of chalky white calcium deposit, usually becoming stained brown by contact with the soggy nest.

TYT - 03.06.18: Australia Strikes Back, Trump Elephants, and Amber Tamblyn
Cenk & Ana. Trump rebuffed claims Tuesday that his White House is in chaos amid reports of high-profile departures and discord within the top ranks of the West Wing.
"The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision," Trump tweeted. "I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!" The Turnbull government admits it has no idea if Australia will be exempt from US president Donald Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, despite claiming last year that it would escape the levies. Ministers have warned that the tariffs could spark a trade war and lead to global recession, and say Australian officials are scrambling to learn the details of the plan. World stock markets tumbled on Friday after Trump announced he would next week impose tariffs of 25% on steel imports and 10% on imported aluminium, in an attempt to shield local manufacturers from global competition. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has quietly begun allowing more trophy hunting of African elephants, despite President Donald Trump's pledge last year to uphold a ban on importing parts of animals killed by big-game hunters.
Actress Amber Tamblyn faces backlash after Tweeting that Hasidic Jews in New York City are targeting her. Of six crash reports involving robot cars filed in California so far this year, two involved a human approaching the car and attacking it.

Home > Movie Stars > R > Matthew Rhys
Matthew Rhys was born and raised in the historic city of Cardiff, South Wales. He was educated in the Welsh language, which remains his first language. At seventeen, after playing the lead role of Elvis in a school musical, Rhys realized that a career in farming or in the armed forces was not for him. As a result, he applied to and was accepted at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London (RADA). Shortly thereafter, in 1993, he was awarded the Patricia Rothermere Scholarship. During his time at RADA, Rhys appeared in Back-Up, the BBC police series about the operational support units Hooli Vans, as well as in House of America. He then returned to Cardiff to act in his own language in the Welsh film Bydd yn Wrol (Be Brave), for which he won Best Actor at the Welsh BAFTA's.
In January 1998, Rhys went to New Zealand to star in Green Stone, a colonial costume drama for television. He then landed a role in Julie Taymor's critically acclaimed adaptation of Titus, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange. Next he played Ray in Peter Hewitt's quirky film comedy, Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? After returning to Wales, he did two consecutive films with Jonathan Price -- The Testimony of Taliesin Jones, a film about a dysfunctional single-parent family in which he played the elder son, and Sara Sugarman's extraordinary comedy Very Annie Mary, in which he played the role of Nob.
In 2000 Rhys played the lead role in Metropolis, a drama series for Granada about the lives of six twenty-somethings living in London. Next he starred in Peaches, the film of the celebrated play written and directed by Nick Grosso. Rhys opened to huge critical acclaim when he starred as Benjamin in the 2000 world premiere of the stage adaptation of The Graduate, alongside Kathleen Turner at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End.
Rhys traveled to Ireland to star in the 17th century swashbuckling adventure, The Abduction Club. He played the lead role of Darren Daniels in Tabloid, and then returned to New Zealand to shoot the epic drama Lost World for the BBC. His other film credits include the independent horror film Deathwatch in Prague and Fakers for director Richard Janes. He will next be seen opposite Brittany Murphy in the independent feature Love and Other Disasters, and in Angels and Virgins, opposite Hayden Christensen, Tim Roth and Mischa Barton.
Though widely acknowledged as one of the UK's most exciting young actors, Rhys is quite adamant that he could happily give it all up to play international rugby for his country.

Can GitHub really be worth $2 billion?
By Katherine Noyes
Senior U.S. Correspondent, IDG News Service | PT
If youre looking to hire a developer, which is more important: her LinkedIn profile or samples of her code on GitHub?
Many would argue the latter, which helps to explain why the online code repository is reportedly closing in on a valuation of $2 billion.
"GitHub is an interesting company," said analyst Frank Scavo, president of Computer Economics. "It is partly a hosting service for developers and partly a social media site."
The San Francisco startup, which offers a popular code-sharing platform for software developers, is seeking a whopping $200 million in an upcoming private funding round that values the company as high as $2 billion, according to a report Monday from Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter.
It received $100 million from Andreessen Horowitz in 2012, when its valuation was closer to $750 million.
GitHub declined to comment on the reports.
Claiming close to 10 million users, GitHub offers a place for programmers to share the code they're working on and solicit input on their projects. Competing in the same space is Atlassian, whose Bitbucket offering is also a Git-based repository hosting service.
GitHub offers free accounts for public projects as well as private repositories starting at $7 per month and enterprise pricing starting at $2,500 per 10-user seat pack per year, including maintenance, upgrades and technical support.
Though GitHub's history has been largely a matter of stellar growth and steady popularity, it did suffer a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack earlier this year. Last year, co-founder Tom Preston-Werner left the company amid accusations of harassment and gender-based discrimination. An internal investigation cleared Preston-Werner of any wrongdoing.
But GitHub remains a key site for developers looking for a place to host projects both large and small.
It benefits from strong network effects, Scavo noted, in that the more developers use it, the more valuable GitHub becomes to other developers.
It's factors like that that account for its lofty valuation.
GitHub holds "an enviable position in developer workflows," said IDC analyst Al Hilwa. "Almost every day I hear from a startup who wants to be the GitHub of some domain it is launching in, which is indicative of the iconic status the company enjoys with developers."
Company-specific factors aside, there's also a lot of money in the market "looking for homes," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with Enderle Group.
"It's a seller's market," he said. "That means you can cut deals you couldn't cut if things were tighter, and with Andreessen Horowitz behind it, GitHub has a certain amount of validity. I think it should be successful in getting this round."

Amanda won't die. When do we cross to the other side?
Since there are no rules here, and I would break them if there were, I am hijacking the Week in Review from the apparently defunct Strumpette. It has been nearly a week since Amanda Chapel called it quits and set off fireworks from the blogerati, both fans and enemies. She seems to have a lot of both.
The venting, confessions, and accusations are focused mostly on the falsity of anonymity of the character and the off-blog attacks by said character. Apparently, Amanda has a temper. Amanda can be bitchy and damning and accusatory and inflexible, unreasonable and some would say, inappropriate. If there is a line Amanda strolls right up and maybe spits over.
I understand being upset by calls to superiors and colleagues, voicemail messages that don't exactly tweet Happy Birthday. I would recoil and defend myself if I were so victimized.
Personally, I keep it to the blog. I can't get worked up enough about what goes on here to spill it into the physical world. Blogs, and the Internet in general are a free fire zone where we can express ourselves, sometimes heatedly or passionately, sometimes in the moment and spontaneously, sometimes out of pure anger, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes honestly about what is on our minds at that moment.
When I created this blog I posted pics of the Museum of the Grafitti Hall of Fame on 106th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan. This is New York, where communication is visceral, memoralized in schoolyards sprayed with the hieroglyphics of our time. That's what this blog is, a place to mix it up and throw an elbow and drive to the basket and maybe get hacked along the way. Then you leave the schoolyard and go to the rest of your life. Where I grew up, guys who made the scoolyard the parameters of their lives are now dead, in jail, or have gone on to successful careers in PR.Â
Amanda, whoever she is, apparently has a compulsion to mix it up all the time. Sometimes its one-on-one and sometimes it's in a gang setting. I don't see any rules. I don't see a ref anyway. And I see a lot of people who don't even want to play this game. It's uncomfortable and it challenges deeply rooted behavior. But what is the proper conduct for an instigator? If there is "proper" conduct are they really instigating?
Counter that with Robert French's comments on his blog InfOpinions . French leads a chorus that is hysterical and typical of someone who might rage alone in a corner because he has been challenged and feels slighted. This is the sort of academic conceit that does not want to deal with any questions about "accepted" authority or opinions. When French got some comments that did not fit in with his support group of poor slighted bloggers, he turned off comments. So much for the "conversation."
For now, apparently Amanda is still with us in some back alley way, challenging hypocrisy as she remains cloaked in anonymity. It makes me uncomfortable and it makes French seethe in a blog walled off for bloggers cowering from Amanda's "threats."
Sherrilynne Starkie says:
For sure Amanda was a bully. But she was always an entertaining read.

Breaking: Comey Altered Evidence to Hide Hillary's Guilt
Elder Patriot – Thanks to the investigative work of Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee it is now known that then-FBI Director James Comey had already decided he wasn't going to seek the indictment of Hillary Clinton no matter what the evidence revealed.
We can say this with certainty because Comey had already begun drafting a statement of exoneration in May of 2016 only days after having sent a different memo to three top bureau officials only days early describing Clinton's actions "grossly negligent."
Grossly negligent is the standard required to be in criminal violation of federal law.
News of Clinton's deliberate mishandling of secret State Department communications over an unsecured private server was first reported here on August 13, 2015. By January 13th, 2016 Comey had 150 agents assigned to the investigation.
Then, on May 2nd he sent the memo containing the term "grossly negligent" confirming the investigation had found Hillary in violation of the Espionage Act.
It now appears that Comey amended his May 2nd memo on June 10th to strip the criminal charge from it by substituting the words "extremely careless," words that carry no legal weight.
What changed his mind? Was it pressure from Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Obama White House? Or, did he make the decision on his own?
All that happened following Comey's May 2nd memo was his decision to grant immunity to every one of Clinton's associates who had knowledge of the illegal server. Oh, and he allowed the destruction of all of their devices that might've had evidence on them.
To put this in perspective, Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is offering no one associated with Donald Trump immunity. Instead he is probing every aspect of their lives, well beyond the Russia probe, trying to find some way to "flip" them into giving evidence against President Trump. This is just smart prosecutorial procedure.
By contrast, Comey offered immunity to Clinton's underlings before they were interviewed thereby removing any leverage he might've had in getting them to provide evidence against their Queen Bee.
Even when he finally interviewed Hillary he failed to put her under oath so as to protect her from perjury charges that may come from a less corrupt investigator at a later time.
Regardless of whether Comey decided to exonerate her on his own, or was ordered to by his AG Lynch, or the Clintons threatened him, the change was a clear attempt to alter evidence with the intention of burying a criminal investigation.
A CIA official with knowledge of the Clinton emails who characterized the person who sent them as an "idiot" bolsters this conclusion.
A second CIA official destroyed Comey's decision not to seek indictment because Clinton and her cronies "are experienced and knew that this information was classified."
On July 5th of 2016 when he held a press conference – itself a departure from the FBI's policy of not commenting on investigations unless they are recommending charges – he told the nation that,
"although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
It's clear that Comey's alteration of the May 2nd memo was an effort to cover his tracks once he decided, or was ordered to, exonerate Hillary.
But this isn't the only instance of Comey protecting Hillary rather than pursuing an investigation that would've led to an indictment.
Recent revelations show that rather than investigate Clinton and the DNC's money laundering scheme with the law firm Perkins Cole designed to hide their financing of the discredited Russia-Trump dossier, Comey was willing to pay for additional unreliable evidence from Fusion GPS rather than doing his own investigation.
Comey also refused to do his own forensic investigation of the hacked DNC server in order to confirm the account offered by Clinton acolyte and corrupt DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz despite both her and Clinton's long history of lying.
The release of Donna Brazile's new book earlier this week adds further fuel to Comey's refusal to look into anything that might lead him back to Hillary. After it became apparent that Seth Rich was assassinated, Brazile admitted she became afraid for her own life.
The evidence against Comey really is overwhelming. He will soon be facing a hard decision because, with a new administration in place – one he attempted to destroy – it is unlikely anyone is going to grant him immunity before he is deposed under oath about who ordered him to exonerate Clinton.
Will Comey take the fall for the Clinton's criminal activities a la Frankie Pentangeli:
Or, will he make a deal to save himself from a long prison term and bring down the Obama-Clinton house of cards?

An Indonesian whitepaper on how payment methods can be improved has just been published. The paper was drafted through the partnership of UnPAY, a one-stop payment platform, and Tencent Research Institute. Hotspots and key payment processes in Indonesia are the main themes of the paper.
As part of 'Venturing Out' series, the whitepaper seeks to provide information for the Chinese payment firms that will be establishing enterprises abroad to have a deeper understanding of the financial system in Indonesia or the fourth most populous country worldwide. In October 2018, the very first published whitepaper focused on Singapore's payment infrastructure.
Recognized as a developing economy, Indonesia is a key ASEAN member with a recorded GDP of US$1.016 trillion in 2017. By 2020, the country's growth rate is set to achieve 5.3%. Cash remains on top as being widely used in Indonesia. It has a low rate of 34% with regard to the use of traditional bank accounts.
With its untapped potential market, Indonesia has an attractive financial industry for promoting digital payments in the country.
To have easy access to the Indonesian payment firms, a comprehensive license access system should be secured by a foreign provider. This is both regulated by the Central Bank of Indonesia and Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, the two notable financial and payment transaction service agencies.
Payment services are grouped as front-end and back-end. The front-end services involve firms that directly transact with the clients, including acquirers, payment gateway operators, and e-wallets.
The back-end parties have no direct interaction with the customers such as card firms, clearing houses, and final settlement departments. For all applicants, they are only allowed to transact in only one of these two categories. However, applying for several licenses in one category is acceptable.
Indonesia's payment infrastructure has three methods such as card payments, peer-to-peer (PTP), and digital money. The card payment type is solely limited to using credit cards, ATM cards or debit cards. PTP regulations enable the transfer or payment gateway services and e-wallet service providers. However, payment service providers (PSPs) are discouraged in using virtual currencies when making PTP payments.
In the use of the digital money quota management, those who are unregistered can be allowed up to 2 million rupiahs while the registered users are provided 10 million rupiahs in wallet limits. Each month, the online trading limit is only 20 million rupiahs.
On December 21 of the previous year, about 34 Indonesian institutions had earned e-money business licenses. The market major players were T Cash, GoPay, PayPro, and OVO.
For an improved cohesiveness and reliable payment structure, the Central Bank of Indonesia has created a national payment gateway (GPN) in incorporating the fragmented payment solutions.
The GPN works as a unified and interconnected clearing network that integrates all Indonesian payment platforms such as ATMs, POS, payment gateways and e-payment approaches such as credit and debit cards.
Still, in the pipeline, the Central Bank of Indonesia will be creating a unified QR code payment system infrastructure to promote interoperability and more secure payments.

New you: How one woman lost 180 lbs.
By Current Publishing on	 January 7, 2020 Zionsville Cover Stories
By Jarred Meeks
Katherine Eckart lives in Broad Ripple, but she wakes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4:20 a.m. to drive to Zionsville's Indy Max Impact gym.
By 5 a.m., she's sweating, burning calories and has kick-started her morning. When her workout is finished, she drives home in the dark to shower and prepare for her workday. Her routine has been the same, with the addition of 8 a.m. Saturday workouts, for three years and is part of a six-year commitment to gym life.
The only difference between Dec. 28's Saturday morning workout and one from six years ago is the 180 pounds she has shed from her body.
Along with a couple dozen other women, Eckart, 31, wearing black leggings and a fitted black tank top, walked into Indy Max Impact, an all-women boot camp gym that incorporates strength training and cardio elements, to start her morning workout. Before, she would have hidden behind baggy clothes that didn't cling to her body. She would try to hide in the background away from others.
Now, she is greeted by the other women who have come to be friends – some of her closest friends, even if they only see each other during workouts. They are part of her support system.
"Whenever there was a moment when I wasn't showing up as consistently and not progressing like I was, they'd check in, and that was something that I needed," Eckart said.
Eckart teaches art to kindergarten through eighth-grade students at St. Joan of Arc School in Indianapolis. Her fitness journey began when she realized she couldn't keep up with the younger children she was teaching after graduating from college the previous year. They would easily outpace her, and she knew it was because of her weight. So, she joined a gym. At first, she said the weight quickly came off. Gradually, she lost 80 pounds in three years.
But then the weight stopped coming off (at least permanently – she would lose 20 pounds and gain it back just as fast). Her gym routine had lost potency, so she searched for something different, something that would hold her accountable. She found what she was looking for at Indy Max Impact.
Indy Max Impact creates new workouts for members every time they visit. One day might involve squat racks and battle ropes. Other days might involve cardio drills and teamwork. The morning starts with five stations, and Eckart's group starts with a series of mountain climbers, plank jacks and push-ups before switching to a station dedicated to ladder runs and weighted jumping jacks.
When her weight loss plateaued, Eckart started to consider whether variables other than the time she spends in the gym could be contributing to her struggles. After meeting with Zach Williams, a co-owner of Indy Max Impact, she realized her diet needed to change if she was going to keep off the weight. She began counting calories and tracking macro nutrients – proteins, carbohydrates and fats. During the following three years, she lost another 80 pounds.
"She is our first 100-pound transformation," Williams said. "We celebrated when she finally did it. It was a big deal for her. The 100-pound transformation is the visual, but there are so many changes she made from Day 1 to 100 pounds down."
Now, Eckart — a newlywed whose husband is Ross — can complete an entire workout that consists of burpees, clean and presses,and running (something she does a lot of these days, as she runs the Indianapolis Mini Marathon every year). She said she has changed internally, too, not just physically. She pushes herself and doesn't give up on her goals. She feels more confident. She states her opinions. She doesn't blend into the background.
Bridgette Poehler, left, and Katherine Eckart complete exercises on a Saturday morning.
Indy Max Impact provides a team atmosphere
Indy Max Impact co-owners Zach Williams and his wife, Waychaun Williams, decided several years ago that they wanted to be in better shape.
The couple set a goal of competing in separate competitions – a bodybuilding competition for him, a fitness competition for her. They started going to the gym consistently and convinced two others to join them for their workouts. The four conceived new circuit-based workouts they could all do. Zach placed third in his competition, and Waychaun took first place in hers.
But it was the camaraderie and team atmosphere the four shared in the eight-month build-up to their competitions that they enjoyed the most. And when people continuously asked them how they got in such great shape, they decided to become personal trainers.
They eventually grew a following from referrals and offered fitness boot camp classes in a dance studio during the summer of 2013. At the end of that summer, they found a location, at 10659 Andrade Dr., where they could conduct boot camp classes for women on their own schedule and have a dedicated space for equipment and training.
"It's not for everyone," Zach said. "It's not for people who aren't willing to work hard. It's not for people who are looking for a quick, easy button to lose a ton of weight.
"It's for people who are serious and willing to make serious change so they can see serious results. It doesn't matter if they are brand new to fitness or an elite athlete looking to take their fitness to the next level."

Hooked on the Hulu Original, 'Future Man'
November 20, 2017 November 20, 2017 Consumer Impulse	0 Comments Future Man, Hulu, review, Television
Spoiler Warning for Episode 1 of Future Man
Ever play a video game and imagine yourself in the shoes of the protagonist? What would you do if you were sucked into the story? How would you fare in a real-life level of a game? This is the premise for the new Hulu original series, Future Man.
Josh Hutcherson plays the role of Josh Futterman (aka Future Man); a relatable–almost too relatable–young millennial with a job he hates, living with his parents and playing video games in his free time. Josh's sense of ennui permeates every aspect of his life, to the point that his only escape is a video game called 'The Biotic Wars.' It occupies his time both in and out of work. In fact, it dominates his conversations with family, friends, and colleagues. Even his object of sexual desire is from the video game. He dreams of it at night. He has posters on his wall. Yet through all of this, it's not a happiness that drives him to play. He plays to fill a void that comes from an unfulfilled life. His beating the game gives him the briefest moment of elation, before he returns to his routine.
Okay, it's not nearly as depressing as I just described it. Because it's at this point when Josh's life is changed forever.

As soon as Josh beats the game, characters from the game, Tiger (Eliza Coupe) and Wolf (Derek Wilson) materialize out of thin air into his room. There aren't even crazy special effects or build up. It just happens in the blink of an eye. They explain to him that they're warriors from the future and have come back in time to seek his help with defeating a race of mutants known as the 'Biotics.' They explain that everything in the video game is real, and is actually a simulation used to train warriors. Josh is the first to ever beat the game, which is what prompted these future warriors to seek his help.
We also discover that the Biotics are the result of a cure to herpes. So their mission literally ends up being that they have to stop the guy who cures herpes. With that, the two future warriors grab Josh and travel back to the 1960s.
I liked everything about this pilot episode. Yes, the "travel-back-in-time-to-save-the-future" concept has been done before, but this is a fresh take; lighter-toned with less "doom and gloom." It's a delight to watch Tiger and Wolf try to figure out the present day with their complete lack of knowledge about life before the apocalypse. This is where a lot of the comedy comes from. There is also a hilarious brawl with a biker gang that breaks out when the heroes try to steal the bikers' clothing, in a Terminator-esque attempt to blend into the 60s.

Even as Tiger and Wolf dispatch of the bikers, they yell video game-type NPC dialogue like "murder everyone!" and "f*** this place up!" "Headshot!" "Let's Go!" Props to the sound editing for making even their voices sound like actual, generic NPCs. The violence is also very over-the-top and gratuitous, in Rated-M fashion.
Another fight scene we see is Josh getting a beatdown from the 1960s version of his family. Josh Hutcherson does a great job in this comedic role. His character got a lot of flack for being lame in the Hunger Games, so it's funny to see him in a role in which the character is actually supposed to be lame.
The short, 30-minute pilot episode definitely left me thinking, "what did I just watch?" The dialogue was silly and everything seemed to be happening really fast. But at the same time, all of it felt organic. I'm excited to see what happens next. You can catch all the episodes of the first season on Hulu.
The premise is brilliant in its simplicity. Living out a video game is something I'm sure lots of gamers have imagined.
lol at "A cure for herpes brings down all of mankind."
Tiger holding an entire restaurant in the 1960s at gunpoint, then yelling "Heads on Tables! We are from your time!"– Probably my favorite line from the pilot.
Josh arguing with his friends at the video game store was a great scene. They discuss video games, then the conversation takes a weird turn to as they start debating which video game characters are sexiest. This sort of inconsequential conversation seems like something the writers of the show might casually discuss over a beer.

Vitoria Travel Guide
Vitoria © Vitor Hugo Campos
Established in 1551 on an island, at the confluence of rivers and ocean, is the riverine island of Vitoria and the capital of Espirito Santo state. Despite an unexpected lack of colonial buildings, Vitoria is a good-looking port city, with a modern, industrial appeal and beautiful, tranquil beaches. What is left of the original old city can be explored on the island, connected to the rest of the metropolitan area by bridges, with the most affluent neighbourhoods situated close to the historical centre.
The locals, known as capixabas, are warm and welcoming to the recent influx of tourists drawn by the flourishing economy, infrastructure, and a booming nightlife and restaurant scene. Vitoria scores very highly for quality of life by Brazilian standards, and boasts all the amenities visitors could desire.
The best beaches in Vitoria include the beautiful Praia da Costa in neighbouring Vila Velha, and the Canto and Camburi beaches to the north. Other attractions include the ornate Palacio Anchieta, the old Governor's Palace, the meticulously restored Carlos Gomes Theatre and the lovely Pedra da Cebola Park for a stroll and a picnic.
Espirito Santo lacks high-profile tourist attractions, but as a result, the state is less crowded, less commercialised, and often cheaper than many others in Brazil - a good option for those seeking an authentic, laid-back holiday exploring little villages along the coast.

Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina (née Sneed; born September 6, 1954) is an American businesswoman. Fiorina is known primarily for her tenure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HP) and as Chair of the philanthropic organization Good360. She ran for the Republican Party's nomination of President of the United States in 2016.
As Chief Executive Officer of HP from 1999 to 2005, Fiorina was the first woman to lead a Top-20 company as ranked by Fortune Magazine.[1] In 2002, Fiorina oversaw what was then the largest technology sector merger in history, in which HP acquired rival personal computer manufacturer, Compaq. The transaction made HP the world's largest seller of personal computers.[2][3] HP subsequently laid off 30,000 U.S. employees in order to save 80,000 jobs.[4][5][6] In February 2005, she was forced to resign as CEO and Chair, following a boardroom disagreement.[7][8][9]
In March 2016, Fiorina endorsed Ted Cruz for the nomination. On April 27, 2016, Cruz named Fiorina as his running mate. On May 3, 2016, Cruz dropped out of the race. On December 19, 2016, after Trump's victory in the election, the Electoral College convened; Fiorina received one electoral vote for Vice President of the United States.[10]

Fiorina was born in Austin, Texas. Her parents were Joseph Tyree Sneed, III and Madelon Montross. She studied at Stanford University, at the University of Maryland, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Fiorina was raised Episcopalian.[11]
In 2002, Fiorina undertook the biggest high-tech merger in history with rival computer company Compaq, which made HP the world's largest personal computer manufacturer.[12][13]
Fiorina performed unpaid service on the Defense Business Board, which looked at staffing issues, among others, at The Pentagon.[14]
Fiorina spent two years leading the Central Intelligence Agency's External Advisory Board, from 2007 to 2009,[14] and became chair of that board,[15] when the board was first created in 2007 by then-CIA director Michael Hayden during the George W. Bush administration.[16]
After resigning as CEO of HP, Fiorina served on the boards of several organizations and as an advisor to Republican John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. She won a three-way race for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate from California in 2010 but lost the general election to incumbent Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer.[17]
U.S. Senate candidacy for California, 2010
On November 4, 2009, Fiorina formally announced her candidacy in the 2010 Senate election in a bid to unseat incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.[18]
On June 8, 2010, Fiorina won the Republican primary election for the Senate with over 50 percent of the vote, beating Tom Campbell and State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.[19]
On November 4, 2010, Boxer won the general election with 52.2% to Fiorina's 42.2%, a comfortable margin due to heavy turnout among Democrats especially in Los Angeles.[20][21][22]
In May 2015, Fiorina announced she was running for President.[23] She withdrew on February 10, 2016.[24]
Fiorina was married to Todd Bartlem from 1977 until they divorced in 1984. Then, she married Frank Fiorina in 1985.
Fiorina is a Christian who believes that everyone is "equal in the eyes of God."[25]

General / Israel / Jewish World / Judaism / Morality / News / Politics / Religion
by Avi Shafran · January 14, 2010
The lives of dedicated Israel-bashers, especially those who hate the Jewish State because it's no longer acceptable to just hate Jews, can't be easy. The glaring contrasts between Israeli and Palestinian behavior have to make it hard to keep up the "Israel is the problem" chant, in the hope the weed-words find places to grow.
Recent events are illustrative. When a mosque in a West Bank village was torched at the end of the year, allegedly at the hand of an Israeli settler angered by his government's construction freeze, a delegation of Israelis from West Bank settlements brought copies of the Koran to residents of the village and expressed sorrow over the crime. Shortly thereafter, Israeli Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Rabbi Yona Metzger visited the village to express his "revulsion at this wretched act of burning a place holy to the Muslim people" and compared the arson to "how the Holocaust began."
Then, ten days later, a 45-year-old Israeli father of seven, Rabbi Meir Chai, was shot without provocation as he drove his vehicle on a public road. Although the group taking "credit" for the murder claimed affiliation with the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a group connected to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, the Palestinian leader did not extend condolences to the murdered man's family. He didn't care, for that matter, to disassociate Fatah from the murder.
What he did do, however, was immediately speak up when the Shin Bet, Israel's highly regarded security agency, identified Rabbi Chai's killers and killed three of them – one because intelligence information indicated he was armed, the other two because they refused to surrender. (A fourth suspect was taken into custody.) Mr. Abbas declared the three deceased militants "shahids," or holy martyrs, and sent Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to pay condolence visits to their families.
As my respected collegue Agudath Israel executive vice president Rabbi David Zwiebel recently wrote to Secretary of State Clinton, "There is something deeply wrong here."
Rabbi Zwiebel went on to point out that United States aid to the Palestinians is conditioned on, among other things, the Palestinian government's renouncing violence.
Prime Minister Abbas' silence at the murder of Rabbi Chai by a group claiming affiliation with the military arm of Fatah – not to mention his reaction to the killing of three of Rabbi Chai's murderers – would seem, Rabbi Zwiebel asserted, grounds for the United States to reconsider whether the Palestinian government satisfies this criterion.
Fatah funding aside, though, the stark contrast between Israelis' reaction to the burning of a mosque by a rogue vandal and the reaction of their adversaries – the "moderates," no less, among them – to a cold-blooded murder and to the deaths of the murderers should give pause to the "Israel is the problem" crowd.
It won't, though. Their mantra is fueled by blind hatred; it is impervious to all evidence and reason.
Objective observers of the Middle East, though, should think long and hard about what happened in the wake of the mosque burning, and in the wake of Rabbi Chai's murder.
And they might further take note of what the murdered rabbi's sixteen-year-old son Eliyahu had to say at his father's funeral. "Dad wanted to learn Torah and pray," he said through tears, "and if we want to perpetuate his memory, we need to do these things, not take revenge."
"Continue Abba's path," he cried out, "Abba wanted faith! Abba wanted Torah study! Abba wanted prayers!… If we want to immortalize Abba, then we have to do things like that – not external things. Not to look for revenge, not to beat up Arabs."
A few days later, the funeral for the rabbi's alleged murderers took place, attended by an assortment of Palestinian Authority officials. Speaker after speaker called for retaliation and promised to avenge the terrorists' deaths.
A statement from Aksa Martyrs Brigades promised the same. "The enemy," it read in part, "won't see anything from us besides the language of blood and fire."
Not all criticism of Israel, of course, is necessarily misguided, and not every decision made by her leaders is necessarily wise.
But, real or imagined errors of judgment notwithstanding, no, Israel is not the problem.

The Mandate We Both Ultimately Embrace
Lessons from the grave

Let us not forget about Hillary Clintons hug of Sua Arafat after she gave a speech parroting famous Anti-Semitic canards and Hillary's pathetic backtrack,which the jews and the media bought hook line and sinker
Shira says:
AP, Reuters and other global news outfits have routinely captured footage of Palestinian terrorists seeking refuge in Gaza towns, scooping up a youth for cover to ward of Tzahal snipers, healthily piling into an empty ambulance – with guns yet on their backs! – to flee a tank. And not all of it gets confiscated by the Arabs either. It just doesn't sell airtime.
L.Oberstein says:
The Palestinian Authority has very little power and there is no partner for peace. The root problem is that a Moslem cannot accept the humiliation of a successful, powerful and democratic non Moslem state anywhere in the world,and especialy in the Middle East. We Jews have been playing chess with ourselves, we have to realize that "they" hate us, want us dead, and will never accept Israel's legitimacy. Arguments about the "peace process" are for show, there is ho chance of real peace on the horizon.It is clear that Europe has a growing fifth column of Moslems who reject assimilation and western values. The world is in for a difficult period and Israel's predicament is the "canary in the coal mine".
The problem is not the size of the Jewish State, it is that Islam allows for no other legitimate religion on earth. Israel is also on the fault line for an earth quake, seriously. The whole experiment needs a lot of heavently help. Israel is a beautiful contry living a very precarious existence.Who knows what tommorrow will bring?
another Nathan says:
The U.S. should follow Canada's example in aiding the Plishtim. For decades, the Palestinians have plundered foreign aid, or redirected it for terror. This occurred either through UNRWA or directly.
Canada has now redirected its funds going to the Palestinian Authority, so that all of it now goes specifically to building a Palestinian justice system.
By ensuring that Canada's contribution only goes to efforts that are consistent with Canadian values, such as building functioning justice system, Canada is making an important contribution towards peace and security in the Middle East. I am proud to be Canadian.

Performer: Ashley Davis; Stacy Francis
Writer(s): Harold Arlen (music) and Edgar Yip sel Harburg (lyrics)
Producer(s): Prince (assumed)
First and last live appearance:
1 September 1993: Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, Paris, France (instrumental version)
4 March 2016: Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA, USA
Performed regularly on tour:
Performed occasionally in shows:
1993 (instrumental version), 2006 (instrumental prelude to Around The World In A Day), 2007 (instrumental, with lyrics of Nine Million Bicycles)
Over The Rainbow is an unreleased cover version of the track originally written for the 1939 movie The Wizard Of Oz (in which it was sung by Judy Garland), recorded twice in the nineties at Paisley Park Studios. The song was recorded by Prince (as ) and given to Ashley Davis (who went on to be known as Támar eleven years later) through Morris Hayes who was working on demos with her at the time, during the same set of sessions as On Your Own sometime in 1994. Ashley Davis was a teenager who has just left the group Girl's Tyme, an early incarnation of Destiny's Child. She met Morris Hayes through a cousin of her and she was invited to record some songs at Paisley Park Studios but she didn't meet Prince at that time. When Prince and Davis began to work together again in early 2005, and Davis was renamed Támar (later Támar Davis), Over The Rainbow is not known to have been worked on further with her, or to have been considered for Támar's first album, then titled Beautiful, Loved & Blessed (which was later renamed Milk & Honey).
Prince worked on the song again in June 1995, with Stacy Francis, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He met her in London, England during the The Ultimate Live Experience Tour. Prince offered his help with a couple of songs for the solo album she was working on after she left the American girl-band Ex Girlfriend. Her lead vocal overdubs on Over The Rainbow was recorded during the same set of sessions as Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart. Her solo project never got off the ground however and she chose to launch an acting career.
Ashley Davis' and Stacy Francis' versions of Over The Rainbow remain unreleased. It is possible, but unclear, that the portion of Over the Rainbow heard in the 'Versace Experience' remix is one of this recordings or one newly made circa 2006.

CITATION: 1988 AIR 2026 1988 SCR Supl. (2) 641 1988 SCC (4) 591 JT 1988 (3) 522 1988 SCALE (2)549
Arbitration Act, 1940: ss. 30 & 33-Unreasoned award- Validity of Parties participated in proceedings-No objection-taken when a ward was made-No violation of principles of natural justice--No miscarriage of justice or of equity-Held, challenge not sustainable.
HEAD NOTE:
The petitioners participated in the arbitration without demur. When the award was made in 1981 no objection was taken by them that it was bad being unreasoned one. The High Court dismissed the challenge to the award. In the special leave petition it was contended for them that relevant documents had not been taken into consideration.
Dismissing the special leave petition,
HELD: The High Court has pointed out that the award does not indicate that all relevant documents had not been taken into consideration. The parties participated in the arbitration. There is no allegation of any violation of principles of natural justice. There is no mistake of law apparent on the face of the award or gross mistake of facts resulting in miscarriage of justice or of equity. It would, therefore, be unjust under Art. 136 of the Constitution to interfere or keep the finding at bay. [642C-D]
CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION: Special Leave Petition (Civil) No. 2391 of 1987.
From the Judgment and Order dated 22.10.86 of the Bombay High Court in Appeal No. 439/82.
S.B. Bhasme and A.S. Bhasme for the Petitioners.
A.K. Gupta for the Respondents.
The Judgment. of the Court was delivered by SABYASACHI MUKHARJI, J. The High Court of Bombay dismissed PG NO 641 PG NO 642 the challenge to the award in question. The award is an unreasoned one. The transactions between the parties started some time in 1974. The petitioners participated in the reference in 1979, without demur. In 1981, the award was made. No objection was taken at that time that the award was bad being an unreasoned one. The matter is pending for a long time. It is not desirable, in the interest of justice, to keep this matter pending because some cases are pending here on the question of the validity of unreasoned award per se. The parties participated in the arbitration. There is no allegation of any violation of principles of natural justice. One of the contentions in support of this application was that relevant documents had not been taken into consideration. The High Court has pointed out on reading the award that it does not indicate that all relevant documents had not been taken into consideration. On the facts of this case, from the records and on the face of the award there is no mistake of law apparent on the face of the award or gross mistake of facts resulting in the miscarriage of justice or of equity. In the premises it would be unjust under Article 136 of the Constitution to interfere or keep the finding at bay.
The Special Leave Petition fails and is, therefore, dismissed.
P.S.S. Petition dismissed.

Go Rest High on that Mountain
One of my readers died yesterday. His name was Carlton Brookshire. He keeled over with a massive heart attack at 6:30 am as he was sitting in a chair at Medical waiting to get his medications refilled. He was 63 years old.
Mr. B, as he was known back here, had been in prison for the last 21 years, and was due to be released in less than 24 months. He was serving a 30 year sentence for bank robbery. He was a Vietnam veteran who contracted Agent Orange when he was stationed in Southeast Asia back in the seventies. Subsequently, had medical issues as a result of this. Mr. B was socially introverted, and only left his cell to go to the chow hall or to Medical when he had an appointment. Otherwise, he stayed in his cell. This is not an uncommon trait for people who have done a lot of time. After living so many years in an environment of negativity and hatred, it becomes easy to transform a small, sterile, ugly, concrete cell into a sanctuary. Because this sanctuary offers two commodities that are hard to find in prison: Silence and privacy.
Mr. B's main social interaction was that he sewed for people. This was his hustle, and if you had a shirt that needed mending, or a pillow that needed to be sown because it had ripped open and the stuffing was coming out, Mr. B was the man to see. While I was in transit on my way here from California and my property was being stored in various BOP warehouses across the United States, mice made their way into my duffel bags and chewed a hole in my sweatpants. I brought them to Mr. B and he sewed a patch on them, and only charged me three Ramen noodle soups to do it...which is .90 cents. A new pair of sweatpants is $20.00, so I was grateful for the money he saved me. This was how I met him.
When he brought the sweats back to my cell, he saw the bulletin board above my locker where I have color slicks of my website posted. I also post different blogs on the bulletin so people who are visiting my cell can read them. Mr. B stood there and read a blog I recently did called TO THE MOON AND BACK about a special little boy in Tennessee who lost his dad. After he read the blog, he took off his glasses and hung his head as he composed himself...and wiped the tears from his eyes. After a lengthy conversation about life and prison, and about writing, I went into my locker and pulled out the large manila envelope where I keep copies of previously published blogs. I sent him back to his house with three blogs, and this became a nightly ritual where he'd bring the blogs back that I'd given him, then pick up a few more. On the night before he died, when he brought the blogs back, he thanked me, and he told me that my writing made him laugh and cry, and that I articulated feelings that he had inside of him that he didn't know how to express. It was the single nicest compliment that I have received since becoming a writer.
One of the other things that we I talked about that night was music. People in prison listen to music an inordinate amount of their day. He liked country music, and one of his favorite singers was Vince Gill. There's a song by him called GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN. The opening stanza of the song is:
I know your life on earth was troubled
Only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
As I write this blog, this song is playing through my ear buds, and although it's a sad song, and a song about death, I don't feel sad right now for Mr. B.
Death for a prisoner has a facet that you people who are reading this blog in the free world will never be able to truly feel. Death for a prisoner is a double-edged sword. Carlton Brookshire was at the tail end of paying his debt to society and like all of us back here, he was waiting to be free. But at 6:30 am on October 16, 2014, that debt was paid in full and he was released; released not only from the negative and violent realm of prison where he'd lived for the last 21 years, but he was also released from the judgments and labels that the world had placed on him.
On October 16, 2014, Mr. B was truly free at last. I don't know where he is right now, but I pray that he's at peace and that he's with his family and friends. I wish him well on his journey. Go rest high on that mountain Mr. B. Your work on earth is done.

US, Gulf allies discuss response to Saudi oil attack blamed on Iran

JEDDAH/DUBAI - The United States has discussed with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf allies possible responses to an attack on Saudi oil facilities they blame on Iran and which US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described as an act of war on the kingdom.
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday struck a cautious note, saying there were many options short of war with Iran, which denies involvement in the Sept. 14 strikes that initially halved Saudi oil output. He ordered increased sanctions on Tehran.
Drone attacks spark fire at Saudi Aramco sites
"This is an attack of a scale we've just not seen before," Pompeo told reporters before landing in Jeddah for talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. "The Saudis were the nation that were attacked. It was on their soil. It was an act of war against them directly."
The Saudi ambassador to Berlin said "everything is on the table," telling Deutschlandfunk radio that options need to be discussed carefully.
Riyadh, which described the assault as a "test of global will," on Wednesday displayed the remnants of 25 Iranian drones and missiles it said were used in the strike as undeniable evidence of Iranian aggression.
The United Arab Emirates on Thursday followed its main Arab ally Saudi Arabia in announcing it was joining a global maritime security coalition that Washington has been trying to build since a series of explosions on oil tankers in Gulf waters in recent months that were also blamed on Tehran.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement, which is battling a Saudi-led military coalition, claimed responsibility for the assault on two Saudi oil plants, including the world's largest processing facility. US and Saudi officials rejected the claim, saying the attack had not come from the south.
The Houthis on Wednesday said they had listed dozens of sites in the UAE, the Middle East's financial and tourism hub, as possible targets, a threat that could further strain a tense political atmosphere in the region.
Fellow Gulf OPEC producer Kuwait, which said earlier this week it was investigating the detection of a drone over its territory, has put its oil sector on high alert and raised security to the highest level as a precautionary measure.
Pompeo headed to the UAE on Thursday for talks with Abu Dhabi's crown prince after meeting Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed on Wednesday.
"These subversive attacks aim to destabilize the region's security and damaging the global energy supply and the global economy," state media quoted Prince Mohammed as telling Pompeo.
Oil prices, which soared following the attack, steadied after Saudi Arabia pledged to restore full production by the end of the month.
INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION
Proof of Iranian responsibility, and evidence that the attack was launched from Iranian territory, could pressure Riyadh and Washington, which want to curb Iranian influence in the region, into a response. Trump has previously said he does not want war and is coordinating with Gulf and European states.
Pompeo said the attacks would be a major focus of next week's annual UN General Assembly meeting and suggested Riyadh could make its case there.
"There is an international investigation, let's wait for its results," France's foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told C News television, adding that the General Assembly meeting presented an opportunity to de-escalate tensions.
The French army spokesperson said it sent 7 experts to Saudi Arabia to join the investigation. UN officials monitoring sanctions on Iran and Yemen are also helping probe the attack, which exposed gaps in Saudi air defenses despite billions spent on Western military hardware.
US efforts to bring about a UN Security Council response looked unlikely to succeed as Russia and China have veto powers and were expected to shield Iran.
Tehran has said the US accusations were part of Washington's "maximum pressure" policy on the Islamic Republic to force Iran to renegotiate a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which Trump exited last year, reimposing sanctions.
Washington and its Gulf allies want Iran to stop supporting regional proxies, including in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon, as well as to put more limitations on its nuclear and missile programs.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia's main partner in the Western-backed, Sunni Muslim coalition fighting in Yemen, has scaled down its military presence there as rising Iran tensions risk a war in the Gulf and as Western allies pressed for an end to the war.
The conflict, seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has killed tens of thousands and pushed millions to the brink of famine. Some Western countries such as Germany have halted weapons sales to Saudi Arabia over the ruinous war.

Le elezioni legislative in Andorra del 1992 si tennero il 5 aprile (primo turno) e il 12 aprile (secondo turno) per il rinnovo del Consiglio generale. In seguito all'esito elettorale, fu confermato Primo ministro l'indipendente Òscar Ribas Reig.

Nel corso della legislatura fu approntata una nuova Costituzione, poi approvata nel referendum del 1993; venne inoltre richiesta l'adesione all'ONU e furono messi in atto vari atti di impatto mediatico internazionale quali l'affiliazione alla FIFA della nazionale di calcio.

Si trattò delle ultime consultazioni basate su candidature indipendenti: queste, infatti, avrebbero lasciato il posto ad una moderna dialettica tra partiti politici.

With the weather in Kyrenia being unseasonably nippy and on a par with Scotland why not take a few tips from the professionals on how to bring good luck this coming year. Us Scottish have some unusual traditions to celebrate New Year. From setting things on fire to jumping in icy water (the loony dook) our Hogmanay and New Year celebration is legendary across the world. One of the more traditional events is first footing, or the 'first foot' in the house after midnight.
Although not as common as it used to be, it still exists across Scotland. The first-footer must be out of the house before the clock strikes midnight, then cross the threshold to welcome in the new year, bearing gifts.
Traditional items to carry include pieces of coal – to bring warmth to the fire, a coin – silver is considered good luck, salt, bread, and a 'wee dram' of whisky which represent prosperity, food, flavour, long-life, and good cheer.
Tall, dark-haired men make ideal first-footers – this concept is believed to date back to Viking times, where a big blonde stranger turning up at the door with an axe meant trouble! So that's why i've never been considered a braw first foot! If you're red-haired, a doctor, or a minister, unfortunately you don't make the cut to be a first-footer either. However, those who are lucky to be the first over the doorstep can claim a kiss from every woman in the hoose. The first person to cross over the threshold brings all the luck, whether it's good or bad, fur the year ahead.
What traditions will you be following this New Year? Share them with us at kyreniapost.com and on our social media accounts. Perhaps try out some first footing for yourself, but remember to stay safe and visit those you know, not some random strangers!
