EXCLUSIVE: Manolo Santana to wed fourth wife tonight in secret ceremony in Marbella
Kat Mayhew (Reporter)
ANDALUCIA'S most famous tennis star, Manolo Santana, will get married tonight in a secret wedding ceremony, The Olive Press can reveal.
The 75-year-old former world No. 1 is to marry Claudia Rodriguez, a Colombian woman 20 years his junior, 'at a friend's home in Nueva Andalucia'.
The small, intimate nuptials have been arranged at the last minute and guests were only given the actual address this morning.
The businessman, who organises the Madrid Masters and owns an exclusive tennis club in Marbella, had his original plans to marry at Wimbledon last month thwarted for legal reasons.
A source told the Olive Press this afternoon: "It is a small, intimate affair and guests were only given the address at the last minute. It's been that secret.
"Manolo has had the press camped outside his house and his tennis club for a few days, so he knew this was the only way he'd be able to do it. It is all very exciting."
Santana, originally from Madrid, famously once said that 'grass is just for cows', before going on to win it.
Ms. Rodriguez will be Santana's fourth wife.

Home Arkansas Blog State's outreach efforts lacking, immigrant advocates say
State's outreach efforts lacking, immigrant advocates say
Arkansas Nonprofit News Network
Gerard Matthews
OUTREACH: Arkansas United hosts a Facebook Live event discussing loan options and strategies for business owners.
Jose is afraid for his livelihood and for his community. He is the owner of a janitorial services company in Little Rock that serves restaurants and office buildings. The business's Facebook page is full of photos of squeaky-clean restaurant dining rooms, freshly mopped bathroom tile floors, and commercial kitchen linoleum, immaculate after long, greasy shifts. By the end of March many of his clients had dropped off. By the middle of April, he said his one remaining contract would end.
"I'm worried because of my family and the income that my family is no longer receiving," Jose said. "I know that many people here in the city of Little Rock are also in the same situation. But the federal government has really ignored the immigrant community. Right now, it feels like someone has just shoved us inside a bottle and put a cap on it. Just left to die."
Right now, your immigration status determines what kind of aid — state and federal — you're eligible for, or not. At the end of March, Congress passed the CARES Act, a $2 trillion economic relief package that will provide most American taxpayers with economic impact payments of up to $1,200. Taxpayers earning up to $75,000 are eligible for the full amount, plus an additional $500 for each qualifying child. But to receive the cash payment, a taxpayer needs a Social Security number — not something everyone in the immigrant community has.
Jose is undocumented. So he won't qualify for the $1,200 payment. His family immigrated to this country in 2007. He and his wife run the business. They have four children. He says he's always considered himself honest, responsible and hard-working. He's filed taxes every year he's been in the U.S.
Undocumented immigrants like Jose pay billions of dollars every year in federal taxes. But in lieu of a Social Security number, the IRS issues an undocumented taxpayer an ITIN, or Individual Tax Identification Number. A taxpayer who files using an ITIN is ineligible to receive a relief payment of any amount. To make matters worse, if anyone in a household files with an ITIN, that renders every other taxpayer ineligible as well — even if they do have a Social Security number. (There's an exception for military spouses.)
Immigrants who live in the United States protected by programs such as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) or TPS (Temporary Protected Status) typically are eligible for a Social Security number. But many DACA and TPS recipients — and many U.S citizens, including millions of children — live with a parent or a spouse or a dependent who is unauthorized and files taxes using an ITIN. Every person in such a "mixed-status" household likely would be ineligible for an economic impact payment. In 2017, an estimated 85,000 people in Arkansas lived in mixed-status households, according to an analysis by the Center for American Progress.
Jose won't get much help on the state level, either. Because he's undocumented he won't be able to file for unemployment insurance benefits. Approximately 50,000 people living in Arkansas are undocumented, according to Arkansas United, an immigrant rights and resource center in Springdale.
But some immigrants can file for unemployment benefits. According to a spokesperson for the Department of Workforce Services, if an immigrant has legal authorization to work pursuant to DACA, he would be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, just as any immigrant with legal authorization to work.
Since the outbreak, the state has been slow to make accommodations for, or offer aid to, the immigrant community, said Mireya Reith, the founding executive director of Arkansas United.
"They don't have to think about us, which is putting all the onus on us to reach out to each and every agency and beg them to collaborate with us," Reith said. "On top of that, there is not a single Latinx or Asian person in a decision-making role on anything coronavirus-related. Even on all these task forces being created. So we are having to educate these decision-makers and the work is all on us."
Dr. Jose Romero is chief medical officer for the Arkansas Department of Health. On April 13, Governor Hutchinson named him to his Medical Advisory Committee for Post-Peak COVID-19 Response.*

Reith says the immigrant community needs three things right now: translations for information related to the virus, an expanded definition of who can access Medicaid in case they're diagnosed (DACA and all other immigrants on work permits do not get access to Medicaid) and access to free or reduced-cost testing.
Rep. Megan Godfrey (D-Springdale) represents the largest Latino population of any district in the state. She says translations and health care access are issues the immigrant community deals with every day, and disparities get heightened in a time of crisis.
Godfrey says translations for non-English speakers are vital. Without them, immigrant communities may be more likely to miss out on vital public health messages about COVID-19 transmission and mitigation.
"I have yet to see anything pushed out on social media in other languages," Godfrey said. "I think that's one of the best ways to communicate. I do hope that we start seeing and hearing more non-English communications because it really is urgent. The governor has been extremely responsive when I brought this concern to him and his staff, as well as the health department."
Meg Mirivel, communications director for the Arkansas Department of Health, said the department launched its second communications campaign early this week, and part of the outreach is dedicated to non-English speakers, especially to Latino and Marshallese communities. She said providing health department materials in other languages is standard practice.**
"For the first campaign we used money from the federal government that was designated for Covid-19 activities," Mirivel said. "That included Spanish-language media, radio, newspaper and digital targeting as well. For the second campaign, there was $1.5 million allocated. So far we've set out a budget of $500,000 for 45 days. We don't really know where we're going to be in 45 days so we wanted to be flexible if we need to shift gears. That includes Spanish media and translations for those spots. We're doing broadcast TV, cable TV, radio all over the state, some print, and digital media. Outside of paid media we've done a lot of interviews with Spanish media as well."
Alisha Curtis, the chief communications director for the Arkansas Department of Commerce, said the department would unveil a landing page with information on unemployment benefits in Spanish and Marshallese this week.
Zoe Calkins, communications director for the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, the agency tasked with handling jobless claims, said language assistance services are available to individuals who need it. The agency's online claims filing systems are available in Spanish as are handouts on unemployment insurance benefits. But the agency turned down an invitation to participate in a Facebook live event hosted by Arkansas United.
Access to health coverage and coronavirus testing through Medicaid is an issue for those in immigrant communities right now, Reith said.
"We need to expand the current definition of who can get Medicaid assistance in case they're diagnosed with COVID-19," Reith said. "Right now you have to have been an LPR [licensed permanent resident, or green card holder] for five years or a U.S. citizen. So most immigrants are left out. We also need more access to free testing. We're hearing about people being charged $150 for tests. Testing is only free at UAMS or if you have insurance, which again leaves out a lot of Arkansans, including most immigrants."
Godfrey said there's also a good amount of fear about immigration enforcement.
"Something that I've heard concerns about, particularly from undocumented folks, is if they go to get tested, is there any kind of connection between that interaction and immigration enforcement?" she said. "Because there are so many questions about your interactions, your travel, who you live with, and where you work."
Godfrey said Governor Hutchinson was asked about this issue on a conference call with legislators. The governor said there was no connection between what the health department is doing and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) or any immigration enforcement agency. He said immigration status is irrelevant for treatment or testing or accessing any step along the way.
A spokesperson for the governor confirmed Godfrey's account of the call.
ICE made a public announcement, via its website, that "during the COVID-19 crisis, ICE will not carry out enforcement operations at or near health care facilities, such as hospitals, doctors' offices, accredited health clinics, and emergent or urgent care facilities, except in the most extraordinary of circumstances. Individuals should not avoid seeking medical care because they fear civil immigration enforcement."
Reith said a big test would come this week when the legislature and the governor will decide how they are going to allocate health funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. If the state uses current Medicaid criteria, most immigrants will be excluded, including the Marshallese communities in Arkansas, as well as those with work permits like DACA recipients, TPS holders and agricultural workers.
"Many of these individuals are the workers who are keeping our food supply chain running, in the poultry factories and fields," Reith said. "But they also have the least flexibility when it comes to social distancing or missing work to either get tested or self-isolate. Our economy and state's health cannot rebound if we do not address the health of these immigrant workers."

Help us report on the coronavirus crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping all aspects of life in Arkansas. We're interested in hearing from doctors, nurses and other health care workers; from patients and their families; from people in longterm care facilities and their families; from parents and students affected by the crisis; from people who have lost their job; from people with knowledge of workplaces or communities that aren't taking appropriate measures to slow the spread of the disease; and more.

And who can do without movies?
The Ten Commandments: A wonderfully picturized Biblical tale of what today's managers would term as 'Strategic Intent', of how Moses led his people out of slavery to the proverbial land of milk and honey. Jerry Macguire: The story of Jerry (Tom Cruise) who stood up for what he thought was just, took a stand and engineered success through a 'soft-approach'. The most memorable scene in the movie was when Jerry tells Rod Tidwell to play from his heart and not his head. And who can forget the amusing Ray (Jonathan Lipnicki) saying "D'you know that my next door neighbor has three rabbits?" Cast Away: A guide on how to survive when the chips are down! What use is the beauty of the uninhabited South Pacific island to Chuck, without his companion. But he keeps his spirit alive, finds his companion in Wilson and sees his way through to civilization. Forrest Gump: The travelogue of Forrest leads us through the war in Vietnam, anti-war demonstrations at Washington, ping-pong in Beijing and lots more. And Forrest's simplicity and southern drawl makes the flick a must watch. My favorite dialogue here is the way Forrest describes his childhood sweetheart - "Me and Jenny was like peas and carrots!" Ben-Hur: And miracles do happen, and time is great leveller - this is what Judah Ben-Hur's story has to say. To pick a dialog from the flick - "You may conquer the land, you may slaughter the people. That is not the end. We will rise again." is some attitude one should live by.
You've Got Mail: A delightful romantic comedy is a real treat to watch after a hard day's work, especially Kathleen Kelly or Meg Ryan's child-like banter. Ghost: There are some things that transcend the recurring cycles of time, of life and death, for some inexplicable reason, which is better left unexplained. There lies the beauty of it all. The magic of Whoopi's acting was amazing but the clincher is the scene of Sam (Swayze) and Molly (Demi) on the potter's wheel, with the Unchained Melody playing. When I see this movie, I am reminded of my blog, Zindagi Ke Saath Bhi, Zindagi Ke Baad Bhi!

US Farm Bill Expected to Legalize CBD In All 50 States – LIVEKINDLY
Over the past few years, CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive chemical compound found in both cannabis and hemp, has blown up in the wellness world. Due to restrictions, it is illegal to grow hemp in the U.S., but a provision in the pending 2018 Farm Bill may change that.
CBD's growing list of reported health benefits are said to help treat a number of ailments, including anxiety, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, PTSD, nausea from chemotherapy, and the inhibition of breast cancer cells, to name a few. It's available in a wide variety of forms like oil, chocolate, beverages, candy, body cream, bath bombs, and even pet treats.
According to the Hemp Business Journal, total U.S. hemp-based product sales reached $820 million in 2017 and the hemp-derived CBD market raked in $190 million. A recent Brightfield Group report predicts that the market will hit $591 million this year.
Both hemp and its cousin cannabis were declared Schedule 1 drugs under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, a classification the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) reserved for drugs with high abuse potential and high safety concerns.
But CBD is anything but a harmful drug. Its wellness benefits have been linked to improved mood, reduced inflammation, and a number of other issues. CBD from brand Charlotte's Web jettisoned the category to new heights when the product was found to reduce seizures in a girl named Charlotte who suffered from Dravet Syndrome. The success has landed CBD into the bona fide wellness category alongside turmeric or green tea.
Due to restrictions, businesses are still not fully permitted to grow hemp in the U.S. At least 35 states allow industrial hemp farms, but medicinal and recreational cannabis laws that vary from state to state have led to some tricky legal areas.
What's in the 2018 Farm Bill?
The pending 2018 Farm Bill is expected to make hemp-derived CBD legal. Earlier this month, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said: "If there's a farm bill [hemp provisions will be in there, I guarantee you that. We're trying right now to make sure there's a farm bill and before the end of the year."
Quartz reports that McConnell sponsored and secured an amendment in the bill that would remove hemp from the DEA's definition of cannabis. The Stranger reports that McConnell's bill would also make it easier for farmers to grow CBD-rich cannnabis. Hemp supporters point out that the bill prohibits those with drug-related felony convictions on their records from participating in the hemp industry. This effectively bans those who might bring valuable skills from a history of selling or growing cannabis.
Advocates say that this reinforces the long-standing War of Drugs, which disproportionately punishes people of color. In its current state, the 2018 Farm Bill does the exact opposite of what states like California aim to do. Last August, the Senate passed a bill that would enable some with non-violent marijuana-related felonies to have their convictions reduced to misdemeanors. The bill is awaiting Governor Jerry Brown's signature.
"Once CBD is fully legalized, we expect that market to absolutely explode, with sales hitting $22 billion by 2022, which is higher than the US Cannabis industry," Bethany Gomez, director of research at Brightfield Group told The Stranger. "That growth will absolutely be a result of legalization."
The 2018 Farm Bill is expected to be approved or disapproved this year or in early 2019.

Eugene (Gene) G. Will Passes
The Minnesota Dahlia Society mourns the passing of Gene Will. Gene was a lifetime member, Senior Dahlia Judge, and a Master Gardener with Sherburne County.

1980s.
After completing his active service with the Navy in the mid-1960s, he served as a pilot for Trans World Airlines in Kansas City, MO, until his return to Minnesota in the late 1970s. Eugene worked various jobs in Minnesota until eventually settling in Zimmerman.
Eugene was a long-time member of the Minnesota Dahlia Society and earned his rating as a Master Gardener. He was also active as a philatelist (stamp collector) and was a member of the German Philatelic Society and the U.S. Precancel Stamp Society.
Eugene is survived by his two sons, Kevin (Denise) Will of Grand Blanc, MI and Kent Will of Oshkosh, WI; and two grandsons, Bradley and Jonathan Will.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Services will be held at a later date.

5 OF THE BEST WORKOUT TIPS FROM VIN DIESEL
The fast and furious MH cover star unravels his tricks to xXx-rated muscle
By Edward Cooper
As the headliner of our 2017 Jan/Feb issue, hard-hitting Hollywood heavyweight Vin Diesel has got us seriously inspired to become the champion of our usual routines. The weather, however, has other ideas and is wreaking havoc on our motivation when it comes actually sticking to our resolutions. And just as our gym resolve was beginning to wane, look what just landed... the latest trailer for the Diesel-fuelled franchise, The Fate of the Furious. Sixty seconds later, we're seriously pumped up.
So, whether you're an MH transformer, workout regular or total newbie, Vin Diesel has got some advice for you – so listen up.
1. TRAINING SMARTER, NOT HARDER
There's no doubt that your gym is a melting pot of varied training routines, especially at this time of year. There are the squat rack regulars, HIIT junkies, cardio sympathisers, CrossFit disciples and many more.
So, it begs the question – what's the most efficient way to work out? For Diesel, it's a mix of disciplines. "When I was younger, I was trying to gain as much weight as possible," he says, on how his training habits have evolved. "Now, I focus on each body part to define it."
Working on specific body parts will help develop better muscle and reduce imbalances. Research has also shown that working certain muscle groups together will help activate more muscle fibres. Not sure what muscle groups to work out together? Luckily, we've got the guide for you.
2. THE SHOCK FACTOR
Vin Diesel's workout routine is pretty simple. Smash yourself. "I shock the muscle with two sets of power lifting and then go into higher-rep sets afterwards" he says. Research shows that "shocking" your muscles to such a degree can help build added serious muscle and torch fat. Working on higher reps will also help develop strength and conditioning and improve cardio fitness. Diesel has got all bases covered.
This killer leg day workout will send your muscles into the stratosphere.

Diesel is all about his work, his family life and his hard-hitting gym routine. Unfortunately — and as you'll agree — balancing this trinity is a tricky task. Diesel's advice: don't panic. Fit in what you can, focus on those sessions and, most importantly, enjoy it in the precious spare time you have. "I work out less and enjoy it more these days," Diesel admits to Men's Health. "It's a time in my week where I don't have to juggle things. I can just exercise and be present."
We know the feeling. If you're struggling to burn fat on a busy schedule, try our workout programme for the busy man.
4. WORKING OUT YOUR WORKOUT
There's a mantra, regurgitated and repurposed in all corners of the internet that always rings true: find a job you love and you'll never have to a work a day in your life. It goes without saying that this can also apply to your workouts. "You do what you love and it's not work", theorises Diesel in support. "That's my philosophy."
Pretty straight-shooting if you ask us.
If there's something you don't like about your workout, there's always room to switch it up. But what happens when you've found a workout to adore? Unsurprisingly, Deez has an answer for that, too: "Shut your mouth, watch your back and keep working 'til your ass falls off." That's that, then.
Psst! Have you seen out workout section? Thousands of workouts for you try. You're bound to find something you like.
5. THE WINNING MINDSET
We live in a world fixated by PBs, 1RMs and finishing times. Everyone in the gym wants to win their workout, regardless of who gets in their way.
(Related: Watch your PB improve in 60 seconds)
Don't be put off. Regardless of the margin of your 'victory', if you're moving forward, you're always winning. "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch, or win by a mile," says Diesel. "Winning's winning."
(Related: How to get a match-winning mentality)
So, even if you've had a poor session and decided to hit the showers early, you're still running laps around those who can't even slide into gym gear in the morning or after a hard day's work. Tomorrow's another day, and remember, Vin's got your back.

The Brazilian government increased the percentage of vegetable oil in diesel fuel from the current 7% (B7) to 8% (B8) last Wednesday, March 1st. The mixture will be increased to 9% (B9) on March 1, 2018 and to 10% (B10) on March 1, 2019. The mixture could go even higher with tests underway looking at an eventual 15% blend (B15).
The government sees this as a way to reduce diesel imports and to support Brazilian agriculture since 80% of the vegetable oil used in biodiesel is soybean oil. The other 20% of the vegetable oils are various oils that are sourced from small family farmers and the increased blend percentage is seen as a way to help small family farmers. The Brazilian Minister of Mines and Energy has indicated that the installed capacity of biodiesel in Brazil is more than sufficient to support the 10% mandate.
According to a report from the Ministry of Mines and Energy issued last Friday, tests will be conducted between February 28, 2017 and February 28, 2018 on the feasibility of increasing the blend to 15%. The results of these tests are expected to be available in January of 2019 if not sooner.
Industry officials have been pushing for a higher blend for a number of years and they contend that a 20% blend (B20) should be considered for large urban areas as a way to reduce harmful pollutants that cause significant health problems for urban populations.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also called PTSD, is a serious condition that affects millions of people. Usually, as the name suggests, PTSD develops after a major traumatic event.
Traditional treatments, such as counseling or psychiatry, rarely offer significant relief from the constellation of symptoms that negatively affect so many people. New research, however, is showing that the natural supplement called magnesium may offer improvement in these life altering symptoms.
The treatment of PTSD, which affects those, such as soldiers and victims of crime or natural disasters, usually focuses exclusively on the mental health of those affected by this devastating syndrome. But there is research to suggest that this disorder may not just be a mental health issue, but also a nutritional one.
In particular, sufferers may be deficient in magnesium. While traditional doctors do recognize magnesium deficiency, deficiencies may occur even with a normal magnesium blood level from the tests done in hospitals or clinics, and therefore a traditional doctor or psychiatrist may overlook a mild to moderate deficiency even when supplementation could improve symptoms markedly.
Magnesium is very safe and has been studied extensively for many of the individual symptoms that make up PTSD, such as: depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, migraine headaches, muscle tension and panic attacks. It's also well known that "Magnesium deficiency intensifies adverse reactions to stress" because stress hormones like adrenaline use up magnesium when they are produced, giving them fewer building blocks for hormone production when magnesium is in short supply.
A few researchers have begun to make the connection between stress and magnesium in order to investigate its usage for the treatment of PTSD. Promising research is being done using magnesium to improve the outcomes of seriously brain injured patients, many of which suffer PTSD afterwards.
While research on magnesium and PTSD is still in its early stages, studies show magnesium to be amazingly safe for those with the individual symptoms comprising PTSD. As such, many smart health care practitioners have already been using magnesium with excellent results for PTSD sufferers for years. Since it's been proven so safe, isn't now the time that sufferers of PTSD be given the option to try this effective, well-studied mineral?

Le Gouffre aux sorcières ( dans l'édition originale en anglais) le  roman policier de John Dickson Carr. Le roman a été publié en 1933. De type « whodunit », il est le premier roman de la série mettant en scène  Gideon Fell.

Le récit se déroule au début des années 1930 dans le Lincolnshire. Il évoque la mort, dans des circonstances mystérieuses, de Martin Starberth, 25 ans, retrouvé la nuque brisée en contrebas d'une tour dont il était le seul à avoir la clé. S'agit-il d'un meurtre, d'un suicide ou d'un accident ? Le  Gideon Fell est appelé à enquêter.

Le titre du roman fait référence à un vieux bâtiment appelé localement « Gouffre aux sorcières » qui servait de lieu d'exécution pour les condamnés à mort au  siècle.

Principaux personnages
 Victime
 Martin Starbeth : dernier héritier masculin d'une illustre famille locale

 Enquêteurs

Résumé
Le roman comporte 18 chapitres.

Mise en place de l'intrigue
Cette section concerne les chapitres 1 à 5 du roman.

Dans le Lincolnshire, non loin des ruines d'un pénitencier, on exécutait jadis les prisonniers condamnés pour sorcellerie en leur passant une corde autour du cou avant de les jeter dans le « Gouffre aux sorcières ». Bien que la prison soit désaffectée depuis 1837, la légende raconte qu'une malédiction contre les autorités judiciaires hante les lieux. Ainsi, le vieux prévôt Timothy Starbeth est-il mort d'une chute de cheval non loin du Gouffre, il y a trois ans, confirmant que chaque homme de cette famille, officiers de justice de père en fils, meurt le cou brisé pour expier le meurtre des impies d'autrefois.

De retour d'Amérique, le jeune Martin Starbeth doit maintenant prendre la charge qui l'attend et doit se soumettre à une curieuse tradition. La nuit de son vingt-cinquième anniversaire, chaque Starbeth doit s'enfermer dans le bureau du directeur de la prison afin de lire des documents secrets.  Le  Fell  s'entoure du jeune universitaire Tad Rampole et du recteur Saunders pour veiller à ce que tout se déroule bien.  Sauf que par cette nuit où l'orage gronde sur la lande, un peu avant minuit, la lampe s'éteint et, lorsque les trois hommes accourent, ils découvrent le corps sans vie du jeune Martin sous la fenêtre du bureau du directeur, le cou brisé…

Autour du roman
 Le traducteur du roman a choisi de respecter la graphie anglaise des prénoms. Ainsi, les personnages de Gideon (Fell) et de Tad (Rampole) gardent leur graphie, alors que dans des romans ultérieurs ils seront francisés en Gedeon et Ted.
 Tad Rampole sera de nouveau l'adjoint de Gideon Fell dans le roman Le Chapelier fou. Il sera encore présent, marié avec Dorothy Starbeth, dans Trois cercueils se refermeront.

Map: Latest military Situation on the Najran – Hazm fronts, 11 March 2020
Wednesday, 11 March 2020 - 15:48
There are currently five main fronts on the western axis of al-Jawf province and east of Saada that, by completing Ansar Allah's dominance over it, almost all the operations and achievements of the Saudi coalition over the years will be lost, and all their future offensive plans will also be neutralized.
– Al-Hazm front
– Al-Mahashamah front
– Al-Yatmah front
– Al-Ajasher front
– Al-Boqa' front
On the al-Hazm front, with the liberation of the al-Hazm town and continuation of operations by AnsarAllah and Popular Committees in the depths of the eastern deserts of al-Hazm to the important al-Labanat military base, the Saudi coalition effectively lost its leverages for further and possible future operations toward Saadah and Amran provinces; and even more importantly, the security of the Saudi coalition positions in the Marib province declined sharply.
Currently, Ansar Allah operation continues on the north axis of the al-Labanat base, and with the completion of advances on this axis, the city of Marib in the south will not be out of reach.
On the al-Mahashima front, the main intrigue! is the al-Khanjar camp. With the liberation of al-Khanjar camp and the surrounding highlands, the Saudi coalition will virtually be cut off from the Wadi Khab and al-Mahashima districts. For the past two years, al-Mahashima has always been the contact lines of the two sides, but in recent days Ansar Allah has managed to take full control of the area and, as we said before, complete stabilization of the area requires the liberation of al-Khanjar camp.
Al-Yatmah and al-Ajasher fronts are in some way dependent on al-Boqa', and if Ansar Allah is able to capture al-Boqa, they will fall more easily like dominoes. In recent years, the area of al-Yatmah has been handed over many times. According to the defensive lines planned by the Saudi coalition on the al-Ajashar and al-Boqa axis, these areas quickly fell out of control after each advance…
Of course, last year there were some very good advances by Ansar Allah until the southern and western gates of al-Boqa' town. Currently, Ansar Allah forces are also present in Adhiyaq mountain and Rashaha district, and Ansar Allah's leverage on al-Boqa' is still maintained. The fields are ready for final operation on this axis, but according to some Ansar Allah's expediencies, so far it has not been finalized.

Music Review: It's Not Me, It's You
Lily Allen's latest album skewers bigots and substance abusers. But in a fun way.
Jon Young
If you knew Lily Allen only from the British tabloids, it'd be easy to mistake her for just another vapid celebrity. Abandoning the reggae lilt of her debut in favor of a luminous pop sound, this terrific second album sets the record straight. An acid-tongued moralist disguised as a careless pleasure seeker, she casts a scathing eye on substance abuse in "Everyone's at It" and gleefully skewers bigots in "Fuck You," occasionally pausing for a surprisingly tender love song. Amazingly, Allen rarely comes off as heavy handed. Her exuberance makes these blunt diatribes feel like good fun.

About BHMS
Bishop Hamilton Montessori School, a not-for-profit school, provides a Christian Montessori approach since 1983 with programs for children 3 months to 14 years. Our success is built around our commitment to the academic, spiritual, physical and social growth of each student, which is the foundation of our educational approach. The breadth of our programs include enriched French, Science, Music and an After School Enrichment Program. BHMS develops students with 21st century skills, to live in the real world.
Our Take: Bishop Hamilton Montessori School
Every school is unique, and BHMS is a particularly good example of that. It's a Montessori program, and a faith-based school, though in both of those areas it charts its own unique approach. The school rightly prizes the relationship it has with the families that enroll, bringing them into the life of the school. Parents are drawn by the values that inform the delivery of the curriculum, as well as a focus on empathy and an appreciation of diversity within the school and beyond. While a smaller school, BHMS nevertheless offers a good breadth of extracurricular activities, which is also a principal draw.

Mathematics approach at BHMS : Equal Balance
BHMS has an Equal Balance approach to Mathematics (as opposed to Traditional Math , Discovery Math approach).
What BHMS says: The math materials, like all other classroom materials, focus first on the concrete and then move toward abstraction. Students first focus on the numbers one to ten, mastering quantity, then the symbol and finally associating the two. A complete comprehension of this first stage is essential as it lays a solid foundation for future work in the decimal system. Students are exposed to the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division before they leave the Casa program. There are five strands in the Ontario Grade 7 & 8 Curriculum. Our program meets and exceeds the requirements for both levels, not only by incorporating material from grade 9, but also by requiring students to conduct higher order thinking in math seminar and math projects.

[Show: About Phonics-intensive?]
Early Reading at schools on OurKids.net
Phonics-intensive - 42%
Whole language - 2%
Balanced literacy - 56%
What BHMS says: In the language portion of the curriculum Casa students begin by identifying sounds and later associating them with letters. Later, students apply this knowledge to phonics and reading. In the Montessori system students first learn to write and then to read.
DIBELS Testing: This school does not use DIBELS testing to assess reading progress.
What BHMS says: This information is not currently available.
Writing Equal balance
Writing approach at BHMS : Equal balance
BHMS has an Equal balance approach to Writing (as opposed to Systematic approach , Process approach approach).
Writing at schools on OurKids.net
Systematic approach - 8%
Process approach - 12%
Science approach at BHMS : Equal Balance
BHMS has an Equal Balance approach to Science (as opposed to Expository , Inquiry approach).
Teaching approach: Science is an integral part of the Montessori classroom curriculum from Casa through Junior High. As students join the Senior Elementary classroom they are introduced to an enriched science program conducted by the science specialist in a carefully designed student-friendly laboratory. In this environment students conduct a variety of experiments, learning about such topics as biology, physics, optics, anatomy, astronomy, genetics, and aerodynamics. This hands-on approach to learning what is often only taught through textbooks instills in students a passion for exploration and discovery. Since research at BHMS is not limited by age, only by imagination, students are able to conduct independent research on topics of personal interest. They then present their conclusions in local and regional science fairs where BHMS consistently rates among the top schools in the region.
Literature approach at BHMS : Equal Balance
BHMS has an Equal Balance approach to Literature (as opposed to Traditional , Social Justice approach).
Social Studies Core Knowledge
Social Studies approach at BHMS : Core Knowledge
BHMS has a Core Knowledge approach to Social Studies (as opposed to Expanding Communities , Thematic approach).
[Show: About Core Knowledge?]
Usually focused on teaching history and geography at an early age, the core knowledge approach uses story, drama, reading, and discussion to teach about significant people, places, and events. Breadth of content and knowledge is emphasized. The curriculum is often organized according to the underlying logic of the content: history might be taught sequentially, for example (as students move through the grades).
Social Studies at schools on OurKids.net
Core knowledge - 44%
Expanding communities - 25%
Thematic - 31%
What BHMS says: Throughout the elementary program students are exposed with increasing detail to the Great Stories: Creation of the Universe, Timeline of Life, Timeline of Humans, The Story of Numbers and The Story of Language. Montessori lessons address reading, writing, mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, history, art, geology and geography. The Montessori concepts and skills development are an enriched program with a lot of scope.
Humanities and Social Sciences Pragmatism
Humanities and Social Sciences approach at BHMS : Pragmatism
BHMS has a Pragmatism approach to Humanities and Social Sciences (as opposed to Perennialism , Equal Balance approach).
[Show: About Pragmatism?]
Pragmatism in the humanities and social sciences emphasizes making learning relevant to students' present-day experience. Assignments tend to centre around projects and tasks rather than argumentative essays; these projects will often have a "real-world" application or relevance. There might be more of a social justice component to a pragmatic program, though that isn't always the case. Subjects like history and philosophy are still covered/offered, but they play a less prominent role in the overall program than in the case of perennialism. The social sciences (contemporary geography, sociology, psychology, etc), meanwhile, might play a more prominent role in pragmatic programs. The key goals are to make learning progressive and relevant, while teaching students real-life skills and critical thinking.
What BHMS says: BHMS offers an adolescent program within the context of the regular Montessori school, providing a supportive learning environment specially tailored to meet the needs of adolescents. Happy and healthy teenage experiences are essential for developing the coping skills and knowledge for successful adulthood. To this end, the integrated program of study for the BHMS Junior High follows Dr. Montessori's Educational Syllabus for the adolescent: Self Expression: Music, Writing Workshops & Language Arts, Art, Physical Education Psychic Development: Moral Education, Mathematics, Languages (French) Preparation for Adult Life: Study of the Earth & Living Things (Physical Geography, Biology, Anatomy, Astronomy) Study of Human Progress & the Development of Civilization (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Genetics, History of Science & Technology) Study of History of Humanity (History of Exploration & Settlement, Political Geography, Environmental Studies, Religion, Peace & Conflict Studies, Law & Government, Literature/ Novel Study, National history & Current Events).
Foreign Languages Equal Balance
Foreign Languages approach at BHMS : Equal Balance
BHMS has an Equal Balance approach to Foreign Languages (as opposed to Audio-Lingual , Communicative approach).
These programs feature an equal blend of the audio-lingual and communicative styles of language instruction.
What BHMS says: The study of French is of utmost importance at Bishop Hamilton Montessori School where students begin their daily language study while still in the Casa program. As students progress through the levels their mastery of the language intensifies as does their understanding of Francophone culture and literature. Harnessing Ottawa's geographic location and bilingual nature the French program conducts field-trips, culminating in annual trips to visit nearby Francophone cities of Montreal and Quebec in grades six through eight. Students graduating from grade eight of the Junior High program have successfully completed the French immersion language curriculum that is introduced at grade 10 in the public immersion system. By moulding students' linguistic capabilities from such a tender age, and in small-group settings, they are able to become fully assimilated into the bilingual mosaic of Canada's National Capital Region.
Fine Arts Equal Balance
Fine Arts approach at BHMS : Equal Balance
BHMS has an Equal Balance approach to Fine Arts (as opposed to Receptive , Creative approach).
What BHMS says: Beginning in the Casa level and beyond, students meet with the Music Specialist where they are introduced gradually to music theory and expression. In grade 4 students begin exploring different musical instruments and, later, are integrated into the school band. Additionally, vocal skills are honed and refined through learning and performing choral music. The BHMS passion for music and performance is evidenced through annual concerts that bring together students of all ages, as well as the staging of some popular musicals, complete with set design, costuming, and theatrics, all developed by the students. Creative expression is an important outlet for students. The Art curriculum aims to inspire students to express feelings, ideas, and issues using a varity of medians such as: two and three dimensional forms and Multimedia Art. Students learn to apply the critical analysis process to communicate feelings, ideas and understanding of Socio-cultural and Historical Contexts.
Computers and Technology Light integration
Computers and Technology approach at BHMS : Light integration
BHMS has a Light integration approach to Computers and Technology (as opposed to Heavy integration , Medium integration approach).
[Show: About Light integration?]
What BHMS says: Students at BHMS learn from a young age that a healthy mind thrives in a healthy body. Once students reach the third year of Casa they progress to classes lead by the physical education specialist in our gym or outside. These classes, taught three times weekly, teach the importance of exercise as part of a routine, the rules of certain sports and good sportsmanship. Students participate in city-wide sporting events as well as in athletic competitions with other schools. The Junior High Physical and Health Education program, taught in French and English, introduces a variety of sports, games, and outdoor pursuits. We participate in cross-country running, soccer, floor hockey, track and field, as well as, an extensive cycling program. The health curriculum uses the Ontario curriculum documents as a guide.
Religious Education 11 to 25% of curriculum
What BHMS says: Students, beginning in the Casa level, participate in regular Atrium classes. The Atrium is a peaceful environment of spiritual meditation and Christian education where students actively participate in developing their own spirituality through work, prayer and reflection. Sofia Cavalletti, developer of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, stressed that all children have spiritual needs and religious potential. In order to engage this aspect of a child's mind, Cavalletti developed a catechesis program that teaches in-line with the Montessori Method of Education. The Atrium catechists employ this program to instruct students in Christian concepts and themes. Students of all ages receive the lessons and explorations appropriate to their particular stage of psychological, intellectual and spiritual development.
Sex and health education approach at BHMS : Not Ontario curriculum

The program allows BHMS to maintain a diversity of students and families in its community by providing financial assistance to those who would not, otherwise, be able to attend BHMS. No more than 50% of the tuition of our core program will be covered by the subsidy. Financial Need will be determined by Apple Financial Services, an external company that will assess the family's finances and recommend the amount of money the family can afford to pay for tuition. Apple Financial Services has been providing bursary and financial assistance analysis to private schools across Canada since 1993. This organization provides an unbiased evaluation of the applicant's financial resources and ability to fund their children's private education.

Renette Sasouni, School Director
Since opening our doors in 1983, the National Capital Region has come to recognize Bishop Hamilton Montessori School as a leader in education beginning at 3 months of age and continuing through to grade eight.
As School Director, I am proud of our student-body and the BHMS community at large. The school community has created an environment that strives for excellence not only within the classroom but also when looking outwards to the world around them. BHMS students and graduates come to appreciate the vast and diverse world around them through studying different cultures and through participating in charities both locally and internationally.
The value of learning Christian principles and charity in the context of a multicultural and religiously diverse student body prepares students to partake fully in the Canadian cultural mosaic. By stressing the importance and interconnectedness of people around the world, students also learn about the interconnectedness of the subjects that they study, thus fortifying BHMS's academic excellence. Through this model, students aspire to become well-rounded citizens from an early age; this aspiration serves to motivate students to develop a passion and hunger for knowledge that they will carry with them through life.
Selecting a school that focuses on your child's academic, social and spiritual growth is one of the most important decisions that you will make. Bishop Hamilton Montessori School looks forward to partnering with you every step of the way.
Together we can unlock your child's potential.

Stewardship Code
UK Stewardship Code Disclosure Statement
COBS 2.2 of the FCA Handbook requires Advance Global Capital Ltd ("Advance" or "the Firm" to make a public disclosure demonstrating our commitment to the above Code (published in July 2010 by the Financial Reporting Council ("FRC")).
The Code aims to enhance the quality of engagement between institutional investors and companies to help improve long-term returns to shareholders and the efficient exercise of governance responsibilities. It sets out good practice on engagement with investee companies and is to be applied by firms on a "comply or explain" basis.
The FRC recognises that not all parts of the Code will be relevant to all institutional investors and that smaller institutions may exercise judgement and proportionality to the rules.
It is possible for some fund managers not to engage with companies, depending on their investment strategy, and in such cases firms are required to explain why it is not appropriate to comply with a particular principle.
The seven principles of the Code are that institutional investors should:
Publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge their stewardship responsibilities;
Have and publicly disclose a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest in relation to stewardship;
Monitor their investee companies;
Establish clear guidelines on when and how they will escalate their activities as a method of protecting and enhancing shareholder value;
Be willing to act collectively with other investors where appropriate;
Have a clear policy on voting and disclosure of voting activity; and
7. Report periodically on their stewardship and voting activities.
Advance does not currently comply with the Code for the following reasons:
The Firm does not regularly exercise voting rights but does actively monitor and engage with the management of its investee companies. Voting requests are assessed on their individual merits and in light of the relevant fund's objectives at that time as well as the investment manager's opinion of the situation, whilst always acting in the best interest of the Fund. Advance's voting policy is not prescribed and it does not report on its stewardship or voting activities.

Eprex injections contain the active ingredient epoetin alfa, which is a synthetic version of the naturally-occurring hormone erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is produced by healthy kidneys. It stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body.
Treating anaemia that is causing symptoms in people with chronic kidney failure.
Treating anaemia that is causing symptoms in people with solid tumours being treated with chemotherapy.
Treating anaemia that is causing symptoms in people with bone marrow cancer (multiple myeloma) or malignant lymphoma who are having chemotherapy.
Increasing the volume of blood that can be donated by anaemic patients due to have surgery, so they can receive transfusions of their own blood during or after the surgery.
Treating anaemia in people due to have major orthopaedic surgery (knee or hip replacement); this reduces the need for a possible blood transfusion if any complications arise.
Epoetin alfa is used to treat anaemia in people with chronic kidney failure who are having dialysis, and in people with impaired kidney function who do not yet need dialysis. These people produce very little erythropoietin as a result of their kidney disease, so the number of red blood cells in their blood is low (anaemia). When epoetin alfa is injected, it stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, and this corrects the anaemia.
Epoetin alfa is also used to treat anaemia in people having chemotherapy treatment for cancer. One of the major side effects of chemotherapy is that it decreases the production of blood cells. When the level of red blood cells falls too low this is most commonly treated with a blood transfusion. However, in some situations epoetin alfa is given to stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.
Doctors may also prescribe epoetin alfa for anaemic people who are going to donate blood prior to surgery so that their own blood can be given to them during or after surgery. This is called an autologous blood pre-donation programme. Because the epoetin increases blood cell production, it means that a larger volume of blood can be taken from these people, and stored for transfusion during or after the surgery.
Your doctor may prescribe you iron supplements while you are receiving this medicine so that the body has adequate iron stores for producing new red blood cells.
Eprex injections may be given into a vein (intravenously) or under the skin (subcuteously) in the upper thigh or abdomen. Your doctor will decide which route is most appropriate and your doctor or nurse will usually administer the injections. However, some people or caregivers can be taught to administer subcutaneous injections themselves so that treatment can be continued out of hospital. If this is the case it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and the instructions provided with the injections.
The injections may be given once, twice or three times a week depending on the condition being treated.
Eprex injections should be stored in a refrigerator at 2 to 8°C, but should be taken out of the fridge and left to reach room temperature before administering. This may take 15 to 30 minutes. The injections can be stored for up to three days at room temperature.
Eprex should not be used if there is a possibility that it has been frozen, or if there has been a refrigerator failure.
Exprex injections should not be shaken and any unused solution should be discarded.
All people having Eprex treatment so they can donate blood for retransfusion during surgery, or to stimulate blood cell production before bone surgery, should also receive iron supplements. These should ideally be started before the epoetin treatment, so that the body has adequate iron stores for producing new red blood cells.
People receiving Eprex before surgery should also receive medication to prevent blood clots, since there is an increased risk of blood clots occurring following major surgery.
All other causes of anaemia, eg vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, should be considered by your doctor and treated if necessary, before you start treatment with this medicine.
The number of platelets in your blood should be regularly monitored during the first eight weeks of treatment with this medicine.
While receiving this medicine you will also need to have regular blood tests to monitor the levels of haemoglobin, blood cells and salts (electrolytes such as potassium) in your blood. Your haemoglobin needs to be maintained at a certain level because if it goes too high this increases the chances of getting a dangerous blood clot.
Your blood pressure will also be monitored throughout treatment with this medicine. If your doctor feels it necessary, you may be given additional medicines to lower your blood pressure. If your blood pressure cannot be controlled, treatment with this medicine should be discontinued.
Tell your doctor if you experience sudden stabbing migraine-like headaches while receiving this medicine, as this may be a possible warning sign that your blood pressure is too high.
On very rare occasions, people treated with synthetic erythropoietin medicines such as this one have produced neutralising antibodies against erythropoietin. This can stop this medicine from working and can cause the body to suddenly stop or reduce the production of red blood cells (a condition called pure red cell aplasia). This causes severe anaemia, symptoms of which would include unusual tiredness and a lack of energy. If you experience these symptoms you should contact your doctor. If your body produces neutralising antibodies, your doctor will need to stop treatment with this medicine and determine the best course of action to treat your anaemia.
If you are receiving dialysis treatment, your dialysis regimen may need adjusting while receiving this medicine. Your doctor will decide this.
Eprex injections should be stored in a refrigerator at 2 to 8°C. Do not freeze. Keep the container in the outer carton, in order to protect from light.
People who have experienced a sudden drop in red blood cell production (pure red cell aplasia) during previous treatment with erythropoetin.
People due to have major orthopaedic surgery who have severe heart disease, blood circulation problems, have recently had a heart attack or stroke or who can�t take medicines to prevent blood clots.
People who can't be treated with medicines to prevent blood clots.
People with cancer who are not being treated with chemotherapy.
People with heart disease such as angina.
People with high numbers of platelets in the blood (thrombocytosis)).
People at increased risk of developing a blood clot in a blood vessel (thrombosis).
The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy has not been established. It should be used with caution during pregnancy and only if the potential benefits outweigh any possible risks to the developing baby. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
It is not known if this medicine passes into breast milk. It should be used with caution in women who are breastfeeding. Seek further medical advice from your doctor.
Headaches (see also warning section above).
Increased numbers of platelets in the blood (thrombocytosis).
Blood clots in the blood vessels (thrombosis).
Swelling of the feet or ankles (peripheral oedema).
A sudden drop in red blood cell production (pure red cell aplasia - see warning section above).
Allergic reactions, including shortness of breath and itchy blistering skin rash.
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while you are having treatment with this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.
This medicine may theoretically affect the blood level of the immunosuppressant medicine ciclosporin.
If you are having haemodialysis to treat kidney failure you may need an increased dose of heparin while using this medicine. This is because epoetin alfa increases the volume of cells in the blood and may therefore increase the risk of blood clotting in the dialysis system.

We've been using this pancake recipe for sometime now, but I wanted to share an updated post, as we just recently tried them gluten-free. Using the Bob's Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free blend works great; you can't even tell they're gluten-free. I'm sure if you have your own favorite blend, it'd work just as well, and I'd also love to hear what blend that is!
1. Add vinegar or lemon juice to dairy-free milk (we prefer cashew milk). Let sit.
2. Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
3. Add palm shortening to dry ingredients, mixing with hands to thoroughly spread. Coconut oil also works.
4. When the buttermilk is ready (it sort of curdles), add that, the vanilla and egg to the dry ingredients.
5. Heat skillet. Add pancakes in whatever size you prefer. Cook until it bubbles, then flip. Add berries before flipping, if you prefer.
6. Top with earth balance vegan butter sticks, coconut oil, or palm shortening, & maple syrup, jelly or fruit syrup.

Australian treasurer: Economic toll from flooding 'will be enormous'
By the CNN Wire Staff
Recent floods have devastated crops, tourism, retail and manufacturing and disrupted major urban areas like Brisbane.
Swan: More than 3.1 million people have been affected by recent floods
He says Australia's coal exports are likely to be "one of the biggest casualties"
Treasurer: The government will be investing billions of dollars to help Queensland
(CNN) -- Flooding in Australia has affected more than 3 million people, making it one of the costliest disasters in the nation, the federal treasurer said Sunday.
The cost of the damage surpasses past tragedies like major bushfires two years ago and floods in the 1970s, Treasurer Wayne Swan said.
The cost of the recent flooding is much higher because of a spike in population in the state of Queensland, Swan said.
"While the state's whole population in 1974 was just 2 million, more than 3.1 million people have been affected by the latest floods," Swan said.

In his first economic note of 2011, Swan said, "it's still too early to quantify the impact with any certainty at this stage." But he said there's "no question that the economic impact of these floods will be enormous."
Swan said the floods have devastated crops, tourism, retail and manufacturing and have disrupted major urban areas like Brisbane.
"One of the biggest casualties is likely to be our coal exports, with many mines shut down in big coal mining regions like the Bowen Basin, and supply chains severely hampered," Swan said.
"While this will be partly offset by higher prices, the loss of production will be hit much harder."
Swan said the government has already made about $227 million in disaster recovery payments to people who have been affected by the floods.
"Over the coming weeks, months and years, the Commonwealth Government will be investing billions of dollars to get Queensland back on its feet," Swan said.

We support Turkey's attitude on Syria, says Ukrainian ambassador
by TT English Edition
Speaking to AA Sergiy Korsunsky assessed Turkey's relations with Syria, the EU and Ukraine.
Ukrainian Ambassador Korsunsky has said that they are sympathetic with Turkey's attitude regardingSyria issue and said, "I cannot imagine how enormous this burden on Turkish economy and society is with this more than 100,000 refugees you host on the border with Syria."
Touching Syria issue, Korsunsky stressed that Ukraine is worried over the latest developments happening in Syria and added, "We are very much concerned about the situation in Syria."
He noted that after the changes in the Middle East they were worried about the lives of their people who live in Syria and he said, "there were several thousands of Ukrainian citizens, mostly women, who lived in Syria and suffered from this conflict, we have already sent 4-5 planes to Damascus to evacuate our citizens from Syria. We also evacuated citizens of other countries like Belarus and Poland." He expressed that trading lines of Ukraine were frozen cause of the developments in the region and that is why their trading and commerce were affected negatively.
He highlighted their support for Turkey's Syria policy and said, "We are very sympathetic with Turkey's attitude and position on Syria. I cannot imagine how enormous this burden on Turkish economy and society is with this more than 100,000 refugees you host on the border with Syria."
Korsunsky also focused on Syria's artillery attack on Akcakale caused killing of Turkish citizens, he said, "The thing is absolutely unacceptable that physical fire reached from Syria on Turkish territory and people died who were innocent women and kids. We sincerely hope that there is way out of the situation definitely a ceasefire or direct talks between Turkey and Syria would be helpful."
Regarding relations with the European Union, ambassador clarified that they support Turkey's bid to join the EU.
He continued saying, "We completely support Turkish membership, for us it is not an issue of discussion. We think that after 50 years of associations and 7 years of practical negotiations, Turkeydeserves to see the end of this long road and definitely the question is about the EU."
Ukrainian ambassador reminded the visa agreement between which became effective on August 1, 2012 had positive effects and since the visa requirements were lifted, number of Ukrainians who visitedTurkey rose 20 percent and added, "What is even more surprising for me is that Turkish Airlines is going to increase drastically the number of flights to Ukraine. It is now 72 flights per week and they are going to double it. and that's the indication that probably the number of Turkish citizens visiting Ukraine will at least double."

Q: async update DOM from Promises I want to update the DOM through my promises. I build an array of promises and run them with Promise.all:
function test(i){
  return Promise.resolve()
  .then(function() {
    // update the DOM
    document.getElementById('progress').innerHTML += i;
    return i;
  });
}

var loadSequence = [];
// loop through all the frames!
for (var i = 0; i < 9999; i++) {
  loadSequence.push(test(i));
}

Promise.all(loadSequence)
.then(function(){
  window.console.log('all set...');
});

http://codepen.io/nicolasrannou/pen/jbEVwr
I can not get the DOM to be updated in real time.
It only updates the DOM when all my promises have resolved.
Is it the expected behavior? If so, how can I make use of Promise.all to update my DOM in real time?
I want to use promises instead of the "setTimeout(function, 1000)" hack but I can not find the good way to do it.

A: In a browser, the DOM queues changes and if they happen in great succession without the main event queue having some "free ticks" like in your case with the for loop, they will be applied at once when the JS manipulating the DOM is finished. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31229816/1207049
To overcome this in a browser environment, you can use setTimeout to to push code execution blocks to a different queue:
function test(i){
  return Promise.resolve()
  .then(function() {

    // update the DOM
    setTimeout(function() {
      document.getElementById('progress').innerHTML += i;
    }, 0);

    return i;
  });
}

Without the setTimeout each instruction to update the innerHTML of the element is pushed to the end of the same queue. With setTimeout, it's always getting into a new, empty queue and may be executed before items in the main queue.
