Q: Dark mode of MacOS not working for Chrome As specified here, I have enabled MacOS's dark mode however, the Chrome browser doesn't become dark. It's expected that webpages, toolbars, etc all become dark.

I wanted to avoid third-party Chrome plugins/extensions as they can inject scripts in my browser. Any idea why is the dark mode for Chrome not working?
The Chrome version I'm using is Version 78.0.3904.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)

A: Chrome doesn't change the content of web pages to dark mode, but it can be made to.
It's experimental, so at your peril...
Put chrome://flags into the address bar and hit enter. Search for "Dark Mode", enable it, and relaunch Chrome.

Ah yes, recall that our state legislators generously provided money to the MTA in the most recent capital plan, rather than having the MTA borrow the whole thing. What form did that money take? Higher state taxes. Money not spent on powerful, overfunded interests?
No. The state borrowed instead of the MTA, which is also the state. Without the required referendum. So now they want to drain even more money from the agency.
By the way, the previous capital plan was also generously funded — with a permanent sales tax increase in the MTA service area that was bonded for 30 years but spent in five.
So this will be the policy. Take money from the MTA. Give other money to the MTA. Expect gratitude.
I'm going to miss Ray Kelly. Few people embody the naked fascist tendencies of the pig state so succinctly. He is truly a light to warn others of the folly of intractable, power-hungry authoritarianism divorced from mercy and reason. Rudy Giuliani perhaps is in the same league, but he hasn't held political power for more than a decade.

Big Hero 6 Blu-Ray Review
byByron Hendricks
Tags: AnimationBlu-rayDisneyMarvelMovie Review
Disney's Big Hero 6 has hit the shelves nationwide. This movie tells the tale of a group of friends that share a mutual interest in science and justice. As Hiro, Baymax and the rest of the gang attempt to avenge the death of one of those closest to them.
Hiro Hamada a young, extremely talented, individual that has a knack for all technology (especially robots), is the main protagonist of this tale. Hiro, however, seems to be wasting his talents. After graduating High school at the age of 13, he has squandered his potential by becoming a Bot-Fighter. Hiro's older brother Tadashi wants his little brother to become more, to leave his name in history, introducing him to the world of advanced robotics and science. Taken aback by what lies before him, Hiro has an epiphany and realises his calling. All he has to do is become a student and work alongside his brother and his "nerd" friends at "nerd" school. But this is easier said than done.
Tadashi introduces Hiro to Baymax; a chubby vinyl robot that's entire focus is on nursing individual's back to health. Baymax is a very literal character that does not think much further than his purpose of existence. He is a somewhat clumsy, robot that lacks dexterity. So the viewer would never think he is going to be at the centre of the Big Hero 6. After Hiro invents a project that blasts everyone away at a Science Fair, he is immediately accepted as a student but tragedy strikes in an instant. The venue explodes, Hiro loses his tech but also loses his brother. The tragedy leaves him lonely, demotivated and hating life. But all is not as it seems as a man in a Mask shows up with a weaponised version of the "Micro-Bot" project. In order to combat evil Hiro would need someone or something capable of standing up to the enemy and Baymax could be just that.
The opening of the movie will have you enthralled from the get go. It grasps your attention with the beautiful colours of San Fransokyo and you jump right into some great Bot Fighting action. The environment is rich in colour, especially metallic and luminous colours.
The character designs look great, it has a bit of a Frozen look to it but thankfully it does not have the songs that went with it! The real great thing that works well in this film has to be the dialogue between the characters. Even though it is an animation, the feelings and interactions that the characters share with the viewer feels real. This is what wins the viewer over, even more than the action scenes.
The sad part is that the focus moves away from the characters towards the end and it becomes more about the action. But I am sure that some viewers will simply be interested in seeing further interactions between them.
To the older viewer the story might be a bit too predictable. I know I saw each and every surprise way before the time. The Post-Credits Easter Egg was about the only thing I did not see coming! (Yes, there is one. Marvel collaboration remember?) But younger viewers will definitely not see the little twists and turns that await them in this tale of brotherhood, friendship and responsibility. This film is heart-warming for the most part and makes for good family fun that has a great moral at its core. Even though this is definitely Disney XD material, it will entertain girls as well, thanks to its strong female characters.
The Blu-Ray video is 1080p and Sony's 2.39:1-framed image makes the most of this film making sure that each scene is displayed to its full potential. The detail is even clearer as you can see the textures and their patterns clearly. The attention to detail is impeccable as you can see the dings and dents left by battle scenes whilst you are enjoying the beautiful lights of San Fransokyo. The colours look great and visually it definitely looks better than the 3D version that was at the cinema.
The audio is impressive as well and features a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 lossless soundtrack. The track is well balanced and the action sequences boom with volume. However, when the dialogue kicks in everything is kept crisp and clear as they are well aware that this movie relies on its interactions between the main characters of the story. So be prepared for Bot-Fighting that will rattle your home theatre.
Feast' (HD, 6 min.) – A great short film which was shown alongside the movie when it was released at the cinema. It tells the tale of a dog and his owner as they share a life filled with happiness, love and food.
The Origin of 'Big Hero 6': Hiro's Journey (HD, 15 min.) – Jamie Chung who voices Go-Go in the movie gives the viewer a summarised version of the tale that was told in the theatrical film. So do not watch this until you have finished viewing the actual theatrical presentation.
Big Animator 6: The Characters Behind the Characters (HD, 7 min.) – A brief look at the crew behind this diverse cast of characters and what led them towards their creations
Deleted Scenes (HD, 13 min.) – There are four great deleted/ alternate scenes included on this disc. So these also need to be given a view.
Director's Commetary by Don Hall and Chris Williams is also available.
Trailer (HD, 2 min.) – The theatrical trailer is also on this disc and it is presented in HD.
Mickey Mouse Tokyo Go (HD, 5min) – is a short film that follows Mickey Mouse as he attempts to board a train to Tokyo after having narrowly missed his check in due to unforeseen circumstances.
I am sure Big Hero 6 it is a great story with a great cast that brings youth to this the script and its characters. I would definitely recommend that parents get their kids to see this movie. It is good, clean family fun that offers a great moral amongst all of the action and danger that surrounds the characters. Big Hero 6 will make you want to be a hero whilst teaching the viewer the importance of friends and family and what justice truly is.

Emporio Coffee one of the original Wellington coffee roasters wanted to distribute its coffee in 250g & 500g retail pouches. They wanted a simple and effective label to close the pack and inform the consumer of grind, blend and weight.
In collaboration with Simon at Emporio, we designed a two piece label for each pouch size that could be customised by marking the grind on the top of the pouch.
To identify the coffee blend we produced an additional smaller label that can be hand applied on top of the larger grey label. This kept the product looking consistent on shelf regardless of who packed it (and how tidy their handwriting is) and lowered the print cost as the same base label could be produced in greater volumes and then customised as new blends are produced.


Kylie Jenner may be "so happy" to be pregnant with her first child, but some members of the KarJenner clan have expressed concern about the makeup mogul, who only just turned 20 in August, becoming a mother.
The source explains the doubts felt by Jenner's family were first raised when she was dating on-again, off-again boyfriend Tyga, from whom she split in April.
"They still think Kylie is too young to have a baby," the insider says. On Friday, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE the news that Kylie, 20, is expecting a girl in February with her new boyfriend Travis Scott, 25.
The insider added Kylie was worried people would find out she was pregnant before she was ready to share the news, so she "started posting old photos of herself on social media" that flaunted her flat stomach.
Kylie has been dating Scott since earlier this year.
Her baby won't be the only new member joining the famous KarJenner brood: older sister Kim Kardashian West is also expecting via surrogate. Kardashian West shares two other children with husband Kanye West, Saint, who is 21 months old, and daughter North, who turned 4 in June.
Jenner's also aunt to brother Rob Kardashian's daughter Dream, 10 months, and sister Kourtney Kardashian's three children: Mason, 7, Penelope, 5, and Reign, 2.

This research aims at the development of peach as a model genome for the identification, characterization, and cloning of important genes in Rosaceae species. We have constructed an initial physical map for peach. The map is anchored onto the general Prunus genetic map and has been integrated with a peach transcript map (http://www.rosaceae.org). Our efforts to exploit the peach genomic databases are focused on two genomic regions of interest: the distal part of linkage group 2 associated with the genes for root-knot nematode resistance and the distal part of linkage group 4 which is important for fruit characters such as freestone and melting flesh. Our approach combines linkage genetic mapping using EST-based genetic markers, localization of the markers on the physical framework, and sequencing the genomic region of interest. Preliminary results illustrate the efficiency of this strategy to facilitate gene discovery in peach.

N2 - This research aims at the development of peach as a model genome for the identification, characterization, and cloning of important genes in Rosaceae species. We have constructed an initial physical map for peach. The map is anchored onto the general Prunus genetic map and has been integrated with a peach transcript map (http://www.rosaceae.org). Our efforts to exploit the peach genomic databases are focused on two genomic regions of interest: the distal part of linkage group 2 associated with the genes for root-knot nematode resistance and the distal part of linkage group 4 which is important for fruit characters such as freestone and melting flesh. Our approach combines linkage genetic mapping using EST-based genetic markers, localization of the markers on the physical framework, and sequencing the genomic region of interest. Preliminary results illustrate the efficiency of this strategy to facilitate gene discovery in peach.

Smart technology can help carers and their families monitor power usage but more needs to be done to cap the additional gas and electricity costs which face families with disabilities.
It's a well-known fact that having a disability and caring for someone who is disabled can create tough financial challenges. As the State of Caring survey (2016) shows, over 70% of carers struggle to make ends meet with the constant worry affecting their health and wellbeing.
Even before I gave up a good job to care full time for my husband, Derek and I were already monitoring our pretty enormous gas and electricity bills. Due to Derek's spinal injury and linked conditions such as neuropathy and poor circulation, we regularly spend over £2000 each year heating our fully insulated home and in additional electricity costs e.g. charging the mobile hoist and frequent use of our washing machine and tumble dryer.
We have done all we can to minimize our duel fuel costs but many carers will understand that there is only so much you can do. As a result, like many families with a disabled individual, we pay a significant amount out of our vastly reduced income on the basics. And heating our home is one of these.
So, when we had the chance to have a smart meter installed earlier this year, we felt that it would be helpful in keeping an eye on what we use, and that this in turn might help us identify other ways to reduce our expenditure.
It was (relatively) easy to get the meter installed and we now have a snazzy monitor in our kitchen. Linked wirelessly to the smart meter, the monitor tells us - to the penny - how much we spend on gas and electricity, every hour and every day. You can even set a budget for both gas and electricity to enable you to try to reduce what you spend - although given our heating is on every day, we pretty much burst that budget from the outset!
The smart meter did however prompt us to consider whether we could save money in other ways eg. checking our tariff. We have now switched to one which gives us free electricity either on a Saturday or Sunday (you choose the day) and I now try to save up my washing, tumble drying, ironing -where I can - and save some money this way.
We also had the Hive system installed last year, which allows remote control of your water and heating and is very disability friendly as you can operate your boiler from an app. Hive isn't cheap and we had it installed when we were working. However, I wonder if VAT free status might be applied to it given it can help disabled people, or negotiation on the part of governments which would enable Hive to be offered free of charge to families with a disabled person?
The key issue for us though is the cost of electricity and gas - even with the best tariff and all the monitoring in the world, disabled people and their families pay a hefty price. And sadly, some disabled people and unpaid carers increasingly have to choose between heating and eating. It is here that both the Scottish and UK governments could work better with power companies to find ways to offer better deals to disabled people and carers.

STONINGTON - A Connecticut state police K-9 captured a man wanted for murder in Georgia, authorities said in a Monday morning release.
Troopers stopped a motor vehicle near North Anguilla Road in Stonington Sunday evening as part of enforcing drunk driving laws during the holiday weekend, state police said in a release. The passenger in the car ran from police on foot.
Officers from several departments, including the Stonington, Groton and Ledyard police departments and state police from Troop D and I established a perimeter around the area.
Luka, a canine with Troop D, was able to locate the passenger, later identified as 33-year-old Robert Donell Annunziata, of Georgia.
Annunziata was a fugitive of justice with an active, fully extraditable, felony warrant for homicide out of Atlanta, state police indicated.
He was also charged with being a negligent pedestrian, interfering with an officer / resisting arrest and second-degree breach of peace in Connecticut after the incident Sunday, police said.
Annunziata suffered an injury to his calf during the incident and hospitalized, police said. He was scheduled to appear in court in New London on Monday.

Cost of private practice claims rockets
Compensation claims for multi million pound sums against GPs and consultants in private practice have risen three-fold over the last decade, according to figures released in March by the Medical Defence Union (MDU).
In 2015, the MDU settled 12 compensation claims for more than £1m on behalf of its GP and consultant members. By contrast, in 2005 just four settled claims exceeded the £1m mark and in 1995 only one patient received over £1m in compensation from the MDU.
Over the past three years alone more than £100m has been paid out by the MDU to compensate patients and pay legal costs in 36 medical negligence claims that exceeded £1m. The highest amount paid out by the MDU was £9.2m to compensate a patient rendered tetraplegic after spinal surgery and to pay legal costs. In another case, involving a GP, £8.5m in compensation and legal costs was paid for a missed diagnosis of a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Dr Michael Devlin, head of professional standards and liaison at the MDU, said: "We are seeing disturbing rises in the cost of clinical negligence claims and a surge of multi million pound damages awards against our GP and consultant members. These payments are no reflection on clinical standards, which remain high, but rather a result of a combination of economic pressure and an outdated legal system meaning compensation costs are calculated on the basis of private, rather than NHS care.
"Medical claims inflation is running at 10% each year and the size of claims is doubling every seven years.
A claim costing £9m today is likely to cost at least £18 million by 2022.
"The combination of the increases in the size and number of compensation claims is leading to a toxic mix in which some GPs say indemnity is becoming unaffordable for them. If doctors are deterred from the profession or from taking part in certain work, that will be bad for the NHS and bad for patients.
"While GPs are acutely aware of the rising cost because they have to pay for their own indemnity, the high cost of claims is also a problem for the wider NHS. The NHS Litigation Authority pays out compensation claims on behalf of NHS trusts in England and is facing total estimated liabilities of £28.3bn which will have to be met by the taxpayer.
"The cost of compensation is unaffordable throughout the NHS and needs to be addressed by the government through legal reform. This is the only effective way to relieve the pressure on individual GPs and on the wider health service. The reforms the MDU advocates would see patients compensated appropriately but in a fairer and more affordable way."

The Journey to Self-Reliance: Somalia Roadmap
Alternative Basic Education for Pastoralists (ABE)
(236k) Fact Sheet - ABE
The Alternative Basic Education for Pastoralists (ABE) program aims to expand the provision of education services and improve development and stability in targeted areas in Somalia. ABE seeks to improve access to equitable, quality education for pastoralists and other marginalized children in south-central Somalia – an area of critical need. ABE's target groups are out-of-school children and youth (6 to 14 years old) who have been disconnected from school for significant periods of time or have never been to school.
More than two decades of conflict have nearly destroyed Somalia's educational system, which is characterized by poor quality, insufficient numbers of qualified teachers, and inadequate resources. The educational deficit in Somalia is one of the most acute in the world. Of the total 4.9 million school-aged children (12.3m total Somali population), 3 million are not in school. From November 2016 to August 2017 alone, close to 50,000 children lost the opportunity to go to school due to displacement from drought.
ABE supports alternative basic education for pastoralists and urban Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) through a combination of approaches tailored to the way of life of targeted communities: a flexible calendar and timetables, temporary learning spaces along migration paths, mobile libraries, and complementary interactive audio instruction. A specific curriculum for basic education is being delivered in an accelerated format - condensing grades one to eight into four years.
ABE is strengthening a cadre of teachers through specialized training, which can adapt to the unique learning needs of students in nomadic communities and those living in IDP camps. Through collective social mobilization activities, ABE is working with community groups to support education programs and increase engagement among parents, elders, and religious leaders.
ABE is also supporting the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) in developing a robust Strategy for Non- Formal Education based on the evidence gathered through this initiative.
Activity Impact
ABE is providing non-formal alternative basic education to communities in Baidoa (Bay), Bakool in South West State, and Gedo in Jubaland State, areas that were critically affected by the 2017 drought and have limited to no opportunity to access education.
Some 20,107 pastoralist and internally displaced children are now enrolled (8,647 girls) in 96 ABE Centers. New temporary learning classrooms have been constructed and equipped with educational supplies, including teaching and learning materials, chalkboards and desks, and sports and play equipment. To ensure girls' consistent attendance and comfort, each center has separate gender-sensitive latrines and reusable sanitary towels are provided.
A total of 447 community teachers were trained in child-centered pedagogy. Most ABE teachers are 'para-teachers' from the community and sustained on-site training has proven to strengthen their knowledge and skills that enable them to deliver teaching in some of the most remote and difficult places in Somalia.
Social mobilization campaigns are underway to encourage parents to bring their children to school and actively participate in their education. A total of 672 Community Education Committee (CEC) members have received training in school development and maintenance planning, and are currently recruiting more children to attend school, and advocating for additional educational opportunities.
In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education and the Ministries of Education in South West and Jubaland States, ABE is implementing radio programing that will promote the ABE approach, identify other opportunities for learning, and encourage communities to provide feedback on air.
USAID supported the printing and distribution of almost 39,000 textbooks and other teaching and learning materials to all ABE centers. Classroom materials are in four subject areas: mathematics, environmental studies, Somali language, and Arabic and Islamic studies. Communities are currently participating in the development of literacy materials by providing traditional Somali stories, which will be included in books that promote positive and culturally inclusive messaging.
USAID partnered with local Somali NGO New Horizons to support Somali-led efforts to cultivate a culture of literacy. This included the flagship Mogadishu Book Fair in August 2019, which USAID has supported four years in a row; book forums in Baidoa and Abudwak; and writers' and artists' workshops in ABE-supported schools in Gedo, Bay, and Bakool.

After a banner year, including the release of her critically and popularly acclaimed second LP Hello, I'm Doing My Best (triple j's Feature Album) a record which Pitchfork heralded as "An emotionally nuanced album that never takes itself too seriously" and her debut European and US dates Ali Barter is going back out on the road during Summer 2020 for a run of regional dates on the East Coast of Australia.
Hitting Ballarat, Kyneton, Euroa, Cronulla, Newcastle, Wollongong, and peppering in a couple of Melbourne and Sydney shows, Ali will kick off the decade swapping New Year's resolutions for riffs. Her Australian dates precede her North American tour, seeing her play six shows in March, including New Colossus Festival before wrapping up her US sojourn with a showcase at SxSW. Full list of Australian and North American tour dates below
Hello, I'm Doing My Best follows Barter's 2017 debut LP A Suitable Girl. A record that, by all accounts was critically and popularly acclaimed. Tone Deaf touted it as "an album that struck a nerve with Australia", while Sydney Morning Herald backed her as a "star on the rise". Ali Barter, however, wasn't so sure. "The first record came out and for some reason I rejected it," she says, listing the complaints she found with her own work: "it's too polished and my voice is too high" being at the top of the list. Overcome with self-doubt, Barter pushed herself away from music, determined to never write another song.
But in the winter, a few months after the record's release, she went out of town to clear her head, with her guitar for company. "Stuff started coming up and I couldn't push it down," she says, and despite feeling like she "wasn't ready" for what these songs were saying, her and Dawson went about recording and testing the limits of her surprising new songs. She heard something in them she'd realised she didn't need to fight anymore. "When we demoed them up, I was like, Oh, there I am. The thing I was pushing against was me"
Hello I'm Doing My Best is a sentiment most can relate to, and therein lies the undeniable pull of Ali Barter's output. From her breakout single 'Girlie Bits' to recent cut 'Ur A Piece Of Shit' Barter spins sobering honesty through sugary pop songs, like a one-two punch of staunch self assurance and touching vulnerability, in a way that is so uniquely her own. On her method, Barter explains "I really connect to the idea that you can say something really controversial, but if you say it in a nice way people are more likely to listen to it."
Since winning the triple j Unearthed competition and releasing her debut album A Suitable Girl in 2017, the former choir girl has enjoyed support at home from triple j, FBi Radio, The Australian, Rolling Stone and Tone Deaf, while further afield, Beats 1, Clash and The 405 have all thrown support behind the unconventional pop star.
Barter has toured relentlessly, completing two sold out headline tours, countless festival slots and supported The Rubens, The War On Drugs, The Jezabels, Stevie Nicks, The Preatures, Chrissie Hynde and personal hero, Liz Phair.

Q: Cannot make namespaces work in go-socketio I'm using https://github.com/googollee/go-socket.io to create a socket.io server. I'm trying to create a namespace, but I'm not able to connect to the namespace from the client side.
Server:
func registerHandlers(server *socketio.Server) {
    server.Of("room1").On("connection", connectionHandler)
}

func connectionHandler(so socketio.Socket) {
    log.Println("on connection")
    so.Join("chat")
    so.On("chat message", func(msg string) {
        so.BroadcastTo("chat", "chat message", msg)
    })
}

Client:
var socket = io.connect("http://localhost:3000/room1");
socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
        $('#messages').append($('<li>').text(msg));
      });

Am I missing something?

A: The namespace functionality in that package seems to be broken. See:

*

*Issue 59

*Issue 138

A: You want to prefix your namespaces with a slash.
The code you gave as an example would become:
func registerHandlers(server *socketio.Server) {
    server.Of("/room1").On("connection", connectionHandler)
}

Give that a try.

A: use this sample :
package main

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "github.com/googollee/go-socket.io"
)

func main() {

    server, err := socketio.NewServer(nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    // server.SetMaxConnection(9000000);

    server.On("connection", func(so socketio.Socket) {
        log.Println("on connection")
        log.Println(so.Id())

        so.On("CHAT", func(msg string) {
            log.Println("CHAT +++++++>"   , msg)
        })

        so.On("server", func(msg string) {
            log.Println("serverpublic  =====>  "   , msg)
        })

        so.On("disconnection", func() {
            log.Println("on disconnect")
        })

    })

    server.On("error", func(so socketio.Socket, err error) {
        log.Println("error:", err)
    })

    http.Handle("/socket.io/", server)
    log.Println("Serving at localhost:16900...")
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":15900", nil))
}//main

A: On Server side
By default socket.io works in the default namespace (/)
var io = require('socket.io')(http);

You than create namespaces from the default.
var nmspc = io.of('/namespace');

Now you can emit and receive messages within your custum namespace.
nmspc.on('connection', function(socket){
     socket.on('', function(){
        ...
     });

}

On the client side you can connect to the namespace with the following
var socket = io('/namespace').connect('http://url:PORT');

I hope this covers your question around namespaces within socket.io

Facebook AI team teaching chatbots how to talk like humans
By siliconindia | Monday, 29 January 2018, 10:43 Hrs
Facebook Artificial Intelligence Researchers (FAIR) have tested a new approach that teaches bots how to chit-chat like humans.
The team used a special 164,000-utterance data set titled "Persona-Chat" to teach its AI to look for patterns.
"Persona-Chat" consists of more than 160,000 lines of dialogue, sourced from workers found on Amazon's "Mechanical Turk" marketplace, The Verge reported on Monday.
Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace enabling individuals and businesses to coordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are currently unable to do.
In the Facebook test, the data was used to train neural networks used for existing chatbots, with the results then assessed by another group of Mechanical Turkers.
In each case, they were asked to conduct a conversation with the persona-driven bot, and compare it with both other chatbots and humans.
The persona bot didn't score as highly on criteria like "fluency" and "consistency" as the humans but it outperformed the chatbot trained on movie dialogue.
The new test is significant after Facebook last year had to shut down one of its AI systems after chatbots started speaking in their own language defying the codes provided.
The FAIR team found that while they were busy trying to improve chatbots, the "dialogue agents" were creating their own language.
Soon, the bots began to deviate from the scripted norms and started communicating in an entirely new language which they created without human input.
Using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, the "dialogue agents" were left to converse freely in an attempt to strengthen their conversational skills.
The researchers also found these bots to be "incredibly crafty negotiators".

How Iran Can Checkmate Trump
Wednesday, 8 January 2020, 9:53 am
Article: Eric Zuesse
On Sunday morning 5 January 2020, the great investigative journalist and geostrategist Bernhard who blogs as "Moon of Alabama" (MOA) headlined "Iraqi Parliament Expels Foreign Militaries From Iraq" and he reported that not only the parliament but also the nation's Prime Minister (Abdel Mahdi) are demanding departure from Iraq of all foreign military forces, and that Iraq will now — as UAE's The National puts it — "lodge an official complaint against the US at the UN." The complaint will "condemn #US airstrikes on #Iraqi soil targeting Iraqi soldiers and both Iraqi and #Iranian military leaders."
(U.S.-and-allied 'news'-media, such as Reuters, lied about this matter when saying that "While such resolutions are not binding on the government, this one is likely to be heeded: Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi had earlier called on parliament to end foreign troop presence as soon as possible." As MOA had already explained, the assassination was profoundly embarrassing personally to Mahdi, and he "and the whole cabinet supported the resolution." Under such circumstances, there is no way possible that the Prime Minister can reverse himself and his cabinet and the Parliament, on that demand. It's a non-reversible demand. But, later on January 5th, the U.S. State Department nonetheless said, "While we await further clarification on the legal nature and impact of today's resolution, we strongly urge Iraqi leaders to reconsider the importance of the ongoing economic and security relationship between the two countries and the continued presence of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS." That was a stupid statement, but at least it wasn't so demeaning to Shiites and to Shiite-led governments as the U.S. President's statements normally are. It was instead a public display that the American dictator can't believe that, from now on, Iraqis are going to be running Iraq, and that there's no way the ruler in Washington DC can possibly dictate to Iraq again. Yet, Axios reported later in the day, that "'I think it would be inconvenient for us, but it would be catastrophic for Iraq,' said a U.S. official familiar with the Trump administration's effort to block the vote. 'It's our concern that Iraq would take a short-term decision that would have catastrophic long-term implications for the country and its security.'" The U.S. Government was already becoming desperate and resorting to veiled unspecific 'catastrophe' for Iraqis if Iraq's Government won't reverse this command. Some fat chance that the outraged and temporarily united Iraqi public are going to cave to such veiled threats from Iraq's viscerally hated invader.)
MOA, a progressive German who despises fascists (such as Trump), makes abundantly clear that "Without any bases in Iraq the U.S. position in Syria will become untenable." He quotes another respected geostrategist, Elijah Magnier, saying, "#QassemSoleimani managed to reach with his death what he couldn't reach when he was alive. That is his last spectacular act for Iran and for the 'Axis of the Resistance': legislation forcing the US to withdraw and cease all kind of collaboration."
Instances in which I have tracked the accuracy of predictions of both MOA and Magnier, have shown MOA's to have an even higher (virtually 100%) rate of having proven accurate than Magnier's do; and, consequently, MOA's quoting this from Magnier makes it MOA's prediction also, and not only Magnier's. This adds weight to it. Consequently, the U.S. regime's long war against Iran, which started by its successful coup in 1953 overthrowing Iran's democratically elected Government and replacing that legimate Government by a barbaric dictatorship which lasted until 1979 and which American billionaires even up to the present time cannot tolerate having been overthrown by the Iranian people in 1979, does finally appear likely to end, with the fascist imperialist U.S. regime's humiliating defeat, one way or another, but not necessarily quickly.
MOA closes with:
There is a clear danger in this act [by Iraq's Government, expelling all U.S. forces]. The Trump administration is now likely to see Iraq as completely in the Iranian camp. That never was and never will be true but that is how it will be seen. The U.S. may therefore again start to pay (with Saudi money?) Sunni extremists, i.e. ISIS, to change the current situation to its advantage.
That is one reason why I recommend to Iraq to invite Russia to train its army.
However, here I respectfully diverge from MOA's view. While I do favor Iraq's becoming allied with Russia — the nation that America's Government has been aiming ever since 26 July 1945 (when the U.S. Government became taken over by America's Deep State or aristocracy) to conquer — I believe that immediately is not the best time to do this. My sense of the situation is that Trump has already trapped himself here, and that if only Iran will refrain from fulfilling anytime soon its threats to retaliate, then Trump will become forced by circumstances to accept a settlement on Iran's terms. Consequently, any public action by Russia right now would serve only to provide America's billionaires (acting, as they customarily do, via their agents and fronts) yet another opportunity to call Russia 'an enemy of America' and thereby to distract the global public from the blatant, sheer, and unalloyed, evil, of Trump's constant efforts to crush Iran — a nation that never invaded nor even threatened to invade America. Furthermore, Iraq's leadership have probably already been advised by Russia to refrain from publicly seeking alliance with Russia at the present stage; and, so, I do not expect that any such request by Iraq will be made at this time. If Iraq requests it now and Russia does not favorably respond, that would only weaken both Iraq and Russia; so, I do not expect it to happen. Not yet.
Timing is almost everything. On 18 November 2019, Russia's Sputnik News bannered "Russia Ready to Deliver Arms to Iran After Int'l Sanctions Lifted — Defence Cooperation Body", and this obviously means that Russia doesn't want to come out publicly on Iran's side unless and until the U.S. regime has cancelled its sanctions against Iran. Putin is an extremely intelligent man; he understands timing. Trump's 3 January 2020 assassination of Iran's #2 leader is an overt (by means of that action) declaration of war by him against Iran; and, so, Russia clearly can see that if Russia overtly comes out as being allied with Iran against the United States, then the conflict between U.S. and Iran would immediately be also a conflict between U.S. and Russia — and at an even higher level of adversariality than since 30 September 2015 (when Russia started bombing America's and Saudi Arabia's hired boots-on-the-ground fighters — led by Al Qaeda in Syria — who were trying to overthrow Syria's secular Government) has existed regarding the war in Syria. It would be wrong for Russia, until U.S. troops are already gone from Iraq. Russia's strategy has always been to delay World War III until all other means of pacifying America's cravenous aristocracy have become exhausted — which hasn't happened yet. If Russia will be coming out publicly in favor of Iran against the U.S. regime, then that would be just one step away from a direct hot war with the United States, which would produce global nuclear annihilation. Obviously, Russia won't yet do that. Forcing Trump either to become publicly humiliated by backing down, or else for him to destroy the planet within less than an hour by means of WW III, isn't necessary now, though could later occur, if Trump is crazy enough to refuse to comply with Iraq's January 5th command.
So: neither Iraq nor Iran should make any such move (inviting Russia in), at the present time. Only after U.S. troops are gone from the region could Iraq and Iran become publicly allied with, and under the protection of, Russia. Only then will the realigned global order start. Right now would be too early.
Iran's leadership team are remarkably intelligent. (America's, after FDR died, have usually been cunning but now — under Trump — aren't even that.) Iran's leaders have promised retaliation for what Trump did. But they haven't said when it will be done, or what it will entail. If they just stand back and wait while the world-at-large (other than American billionaires' core foreign allies the aristocracies of Saudi Arabia, Israel, and UK) gradually abandon their alliances with the U.S. regime, then not only Iran but also the U.S. regime's other main targets — Russia and China — will naturally rise in the international order, and this could become the way that the world's most dangerous imperialistic regime, the United States Government (since 1948 the serial perpetrator of coups and invasions), will finally be able to be defeated peacefully, and defanged gradually thereafter.
That would be Iran's retaliation — none.
Here is what I see as a possible end-point to this matter, if all non-U.S. entitities respond to this turning-point in history in the optimal ways:
Trump would announce that he is herewith cancelling sanctions against Iran and restoring U.S. participation in the Iran nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which in 2015 was signed by China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and then the entire European Union. Iran would then announce that it is willing to discuss with all of the signatories to that agreement, if a majority of them wish to do so, international negotiations regarding possible changes (amendments) to be made to that agreement. The United States would then offer, separately, and on a strictly bi-lateral, U.S.-Iran, basis, to negotiate with Iran a settlement to all outstanding issues between the two nations, so that they may proceed forward with normal diplomatic relations, on a peaceful instead of mutually hostile, foundation.
Trump also would announce that he is seeking negotiations with Iraq about a total withdrawal of the United States from Iraq — the end of the U.S. occupation that started on 20 March 2003 — and closure of the U.S. Embassy there, to be replaced by a far smaller U.S. Embassy. America's imperial sway over Iraq will end, though not immediately — its ending will be a process. This will be a negotiated termination, a peaceful one (unless Trump is crazy enough to resist).
Trump would initiate this as a package-deal confidentially offered by him to Khamenei — all steps of it — in advance of any carrying-out of the steps, and initiated by him soon enough to ward off any retaliatory action by Iran (just in case Iran isn't smart enough to give him all the time he needs in order to quit his further provocations), so as to avoid further escalation of the hostilities, which otherwise would likely escalate to a widespread and possibly global war. In other words, this direct communication between the two should already have been sought by Trump. (But, since he's probably too stupid to have thought that out in advance, let's all hope that Iran's leadership are sufficiently intelligent to give him all the time that he needs.)
I do not expect Trump to do any of that, not even the first step, and not even the offer to Khamenei; and Iran is in no position to make the first step, in any case (since the U.S. had started the mutual hostilities between the two nations in 1953). However, if Trump does, at least make the offer and then do the first step (ending sanctions), then I think that he will easily win re-election, regardless of whom the Democratic nominee will be. If he can re-establish friendly relations with Iran, then that will be a diplomatic achievement of historic proportions, the best and most important in decades. No one would then be able to deny it. He would, in fact, then deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize (which Obama never deserved to win, though he did win it). But I don't expect any of that to happen, because it would be exactly contrary to the way that any recent U.S. President has behaved, and because many in power in the United States would be furious against him if he did do it.
But just give it time; and, if Iran simply waits for 'the right time to retaliate', then retaliation by Iran won't even be necessary.
This would be "Checkmate!" by Iran, against the U.S. regime. And that would be Iran's (and everyone's except U.S.'s, UK's, Israel's, and Saudi Arabia's) 'retaliation', for Trump's personal combination of psychopathy and stupidity. (Those four nations — the core U.S. group — would then go on together, to decline peacefully in the global order.)
An interesting feature of this outcome is that Iran would then be using Trump's enormous blunder in a way that would simultaneously defeat all four of the nations that are seeking to defeat Iran: U.S., Saudi Arabia, Israel, and UK. Even if Trump ends up winning his vaunted Nobel Peace Prize and Iran won't share in it, Iran would be the winner of what really is important, and (no matter how much such a prize would then be deserved only by Iran), that meaningless piece of PR dross wouldn't mean anything to Iran's leaders, anyway. They're not nearly so petty as Trump — that's for sure.
Iran's biggest weapon now will be patience, if they're smart enough to use it.
Trump's assassination of Soleimani could turn out to have been the best thing that has ever happened for Iran. If so, Soleimani, were he around to see the outcome, would be ecstatic that Trump did it. He was a true Iranian patriot, nothing of the fake sort. In any case, nothing, from now on, will be able to detract from the legend that will arise in Iran about him. The ball is now in Iran's court, for Soleimani's successors to determine the world's future. Trump made this possible. Without what he did on January 3rd, it would not be possible.
However, the news on the morning of January 7th is that at least thus far, Iran is behaving badly, and also Europe is behaving badly. Iran is withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which in 2015 was signed by China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and then the entire European Union. This drives European nations to continue relying on America and its NATO. And the rhetoric from European leaders is suddenly more favorable toward Trump's assassination of Soleimani. Things right now are hurtling toward an isolated Iran against 'The Western Alliance' or the U.S.-and-allied regimes. Perhaps Iran's leaders (Khamenei and Solemani's replacement, announced by Khamenei on January 3rd, Brigadier General Ismai Ghani), are expecting that in a lurch they will ask Russia to back them up against U.S.-and-its-allies. This suggests that Putin hasn't yet told them that unless they adhere to this plan, he would say no to that. If this is what's happening behind the scenes, then Putin goofed there by having assumed they understood, and should promptly but privately tell Iran this, and should privately instruct Iran promptly to reverse its announced withdrawal from the nuclear agreement. That reversal would turn out to be temporary if EU leaders fail then to back Iran and Iraq against U.S. on Soleimani and on the necessity for Trump to comply with the order from Iraq to end occupying Iraq now. Unless Iran promptly reverses its announced withdrawal from JCPOA, everything will fall apart and not be able to be put together again, and, at the very least, Iran will be destroyed and probably almost all of the Middle East too. The Cold War would go on, and the U.S. regime would be in an even stronger position than before. America's occupation of Iraq woud continue. The misery and humiliation of Iraqis would intensify even further, China would be practically isolated, and America's all-but-total conquest of the world would be good for nobody but U.S.-and-allied billionaires. But the results would be worst of all for Iranians.

«Медуза» (, або  — щит з головою Медузи) — картина італійського художника епохи Відродження Караваджо. Караваджо створив два варіанти картини, один з яких зберігається в приватній колекції, а інший виставлено в Галереї Уффіці (Флоренція).

Історія
Перша версія картини Караваджо «Медуза» також називається «Муртола», за прізвищем італійського поета Гаспаре Муртола, який написав про цю картину Картина має підпис Michel A F тобто  — Мікеланджело зробив (Мікеланджело — це ім'я Караваджо), її розміри — 48 х 55 см. Картина зберігається в приватній колекції.

Друга версія картини «Медуза» трохи більша за розмірами (60×55 см) й не має підпису. Саме вона зберігається галереї Уффіці в Флоренції. Цю другу «Медузу» в Караваджо замовив кардинад Франческо Марія дель Монте. Вона написана на дерев'яному щиті, який входив до набору парадних обладунків, призначених для великого герцога Фердинандо I Медічі.

1993 року картина постраждала під час замаху мафії на Віа деї Джоргофілі. «Медуза» Караваджо перебувала на реставрації до 2002 року. Реставраційні роботи проводив Стефано Скарпеллі під керівництвом Катеріни Канева. Реставрація коштувала 250 000 євро, з яких 185 000 євро було надато фірмою оренди автомобілів «Маджоре», а 65 000 євро становили пожертви відвідувачів музею..

Опис
Караваджо розробляє відомий міфологічний сюжет про Медузу Горгону, яку вбив герой Персей за допомогою щита, подарованого Афіною. Полірований щит служив як дзеркало, таким чином Персей не мусив прямо дивитися на Медузу й не перетворився від її погляду на камінь. Голову Медузи Персей підніс Афіні Палладі на подарованому нею щиті. Сюжет про Медузу описаний у «Метаморфозах» Овідія.

Голова Медузи зображена на справжньому парадному щиті з опуклою поверхнею, що робить виразнішим вираз її обличчя. Сама голова закривавлена, а волосся, згідно з переказом, зображено у вигляді змій. Голова Медузи зображено не зовсім анфас, а трохи збоку, таким чином глядач картини уникає прямого погляду Медузи та пов'язаної з цим загрози перетворитися на камінь.

My team and I run the International Business Accelerator, a structured end-to-end teaching and coaching program to help micro-to-medium sized companies build and implement winning strategies for launching their business internationally.
This March, we're excited to be launching the #GirlsGoingGlobal campaign, to coincide with International Women's Day.
As part of this initiative, we're showcasing a range of small businesses that have already made the transition from being a local heroes to micro-multinationals. One of the reasons for this is to combat the common perception that international business is "too hard" for small companies or the idea that you need to be highly successful at home before you can think about looking offshore for new clients. We're particularly keen to showcase women who are succeeding in business. So here goes.
Melinda Richards is the co-owner and CEO of SuperSprout, a Queensland-based company that produces high-grade fruit and vegetable powders. Melinda established the company in 2007, but soon realised that even though she had a fantastic product, she was struggling to get traction in Australia's small domestic market, where consumers wanted premium product, but expected to pay less than a premium price for it.
Recognising that consumers overseas were willing to pay a premium for "clean green" Australian food, Melinda began to look for options to sell her brand overseas. In 2010, the company began exporting to its first international market – the UAE and Melinda's hunch was confirmed. UAE consumers had high disposable income and an appetite for high-quality specialty products. SuperSprout's products did extremely well there and it was much less difficult to operate in the UAE than Melinda had expected.
"We found a great distributor who loved our product and made it really easy for us to export SuperSprout stuff there", Melinda says.
Fast forward to 2017 and SuperSprout is expanding its export operations to a number of other international markets including the United States and China.
"These days, if you have a website, you can be a global seller", says Melinda.
If you're a small business thinking of how to grow your business and whether international expansion is right for you, check out our e-book Why Go Global? Seven Reasons to Take Your Company Global.

It's not that bad, but it's a good one. At that time, I did not really believe him (I saw this picture now believe that it was really fat. See your cheek and smile close I do not know what to say.
EDIT: Have a friend see the picture before more, we go to dig in the face to ask for permission to pursue the time I have to do it.
At that time, we sided with myself that I did not eat much. Why am i fat Back to top Because it is like that. You will not be able to eat large batches in a single meal. You can not eat bread all day in a day. You can not eat special mama. You will not be able to eat a few rounds of this buffet. I do not know what to do.
❤ What are our motives for losing weight?
If you are motivated to lose weight. At first, it was because we were stressed out by the end of the research and many other subjects around and Hertz in year 4, like to eat less, sleep less weight, it went down. I do not know why, but I do not know what it is. The event then realized that. We have a slim down here. After graduation, I was in unemployment. At home, I feel that I have no value at all. I do not have a job. We think that losing weight helps to make us more valuable. Because the factor to reduce it is within the scope that we cover it all. Just how do we care for food and exercise regularly? It's definitely down to the job. There are many other factors beyond our control.
Our method of reduction is generic. Eat it out only. This is a workout. I do not know why.
The food we have changed to eat clean. Cook from olive oil, eat brown rice, do not eat it fried. Desserts eat once a month. Two months, but eat fresh milk, the focus is on the boiled soup, papaya salad, grilled chicken enough energy, then we have to burn out. If you are unemployed at home it will not burn much, so go to a yoga course. Apply as monthly I play it. The two classes are very cool class, we go to play. Saturday – Sunday It took about two months to lose weight.
I do not like to exercise or not control food. It does not come back to fat as usual. But I do not feel comfortable.


(Madison, WI) – The California State University (CSU) system has issued a nondiscrimination policy that requires InterVarsity to allow non-Christians to be chapter leaders. InterVarsity has always required chapter leaders to agree to our Doctrinal Basis, a summary of basic, historic Christian beliefs. While InterVarsity invites and welcomes all students as participants, we believe a Christian group should have the right to expect and even require their leaders to be Christian—just as any student group, club or Greek organization should be able to require their leaders to be like-minded.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is now developing a new style of campus ministry on CSU campuses where we have been banned from participating in campus life as a recognized student organization. In order to maintain a ministry presence with 23 chapters on 19 CSU campuses, InterVarsity is introducing creative new ways to connect with students and share the gospel message—though doing so as an "unrecognized" student group will prove considerably more costly.
Because we are no longer allowed to participate in campus organization fairs, InterVarsity will make contact with students by deploying new tools such as mobile banner stands, interactive displays, social media, and other techniques that don't rely on established campus structures.
On most of the 616 college campuses across the U.S where InterVarsity has 949 chapters, our student ministry work will continue as it has for more than seven decades. Overall our annual reports from staff indicate that InterVarsity is sharing the gospel message with more students and faculty than at any other time in our 73-year history.
During the 2013-2014 school year, 40,299 core students and faculty were actively involved with InterVarsity across the country, our highest participation rate ever. People professing faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord for the first time numbered 3,517, almost double the same number from 10 years ago. Approximately 50 percent of students active in our chapters are members of ethnic minority groups, in California the number is closer to 70 percent.
Students from every conceivable background still come to college seeking answers to life's larger questions in order to find meaning and significance. And InterVarsity is committed to sharing with them the message of the gospel, a message that has been revolutionizing lives for 2,000 years.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA has been active on U.S. college and university campuses for more than 73 years. InterVarsity is affiliated with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), and is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).
