Did the Ottomans really commit genocide against the Armenians?
Armenians in refugee camps in 1920
April 24th marks the international commemoration of the "Armenian genocide," but Sabina Hashmy asks if a million Armenians were really massacred by the Ottoman Turks during World War 1.
Over a century after the tragic events of 1915 the "Armenian genocide" remains a highly polarising issue impacting relations between Turkey and Armenia, and even more significantly their ties with other nations.
The events are rooted in the rabid rise of ethno-nationalism in the region, and the slow and painful disintegration of the Ottoman Empire against the backdrop of the First World War.
Armenians claim around a million of their forefathers were systematically massacred in a campaign of ethnic cleansing during the twilight years of the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
On the other hand, Turkey maintains there were thousands of deaths on both sides of the conflict and while it accepts there was resettlement of the Armenian population, it vigorously denies accusations of genocide.
Armenians under Ottoman rule
During the period of Ottoman rule the Christian Armenians were given semi-autonomous status through the millet system which recognised ethnic populations on the basis of religious identity.
Armenians managed their civic affairs through a civil administration composed of their own people, and punishments could not be given by Ottoman lawmakers unless the religious head of the particular Armenian village or town permitted it.
Ultimately the assigned leader of the Armenian people in the Ottoman empire was the head of the Armenian Church, the Ecumenical Patriarchate. He was given a more or less free hand to manage the affairs of his community through Armenian "beys," local Armenian leaders.
This separation of military and civil control adopted by the Ottoman Empire led to widespread communal harmony. Armenians became wholly integrated and some became highly successful key members of Ottoman society. Many were appointed as Ottoman ministers at the top level of government, advised national institutions such as the National Turkish Bank and were highly trusted by the Ottoman rulers.
"In the 19th century, various Armenian families became the Sultan's goldsmiths, Sultan's architects and took over the currency reserves and the reserves of gold and silver, including customs duty. Sixteen of the eighteen most important bankers in the Ottoman Empire were Armenian."
Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian: The man and his work. Lisbon: Gulbenkian Foundation Press.2010)
Nationalism and decline of empire
In the 19th century the Ottoman Empire faced the rise of nationalism propagated by Western powers, and the growing demand for the independence of Christian peoples under Ottoman rule was fuelled not just by western nationalist ideology but often by military support.
On the empire's western sides Greek nationalists aided by France, Great Britain and Russia, fought the Ottomans and Muslim minorities eventually breaking away to form an independent Greek state, whilst armed revolts in the Balkan region against Ottoman rule led to the formation of small nation states.
France, Britain and Russia claimed the millet system – despite its long history as a model of a generally harmonious and pluralistic society – made Christians second class citizens. So to preserve its borders and appease Western governments, the ailing Ottoman empire enacted a series of reforms known as the Tanzimat, in which all citizens would be equal and the millet system would be abolished in favour of a centralised government.

The reforms were the first steps in the removal of Islamic laws, and many believe they laid the foundations for the modern secular Turkish state. Later the formation of the Armenian National Assembly allowed Armenian secular self-governance in the form of separate judicial, taxation, and penal systems under the Ottoman empire.
Towards the end of the 19th century the Armenian nationalist movement was to take shape, inspired by the events in the Balkans – its aim was the creation of an Armenian state in the Armenian majority regions of the Ottoman and Russian empires based on the secular democratic liberal ideas of the French Revolution.
Secret Armenian societies and political organisations aided by Russia were formed, initially they would use the means of political organisation and mass media to call for revolution against Ottoman rule, but later guerrilla warfare was employed.
A series of bloody battles, demonstrations, uprisings and an assassination attempt on the Ottoman ruler Sultan Abdel Hamid II led to a crackdown by the Ottoman state in an effort to quell Armenian nationalism. The Armenians – once a valuable pillar of Ottoman society -began to be seen as a disruptive element in a fragile empire.
Growth of Turkish nationalism
The spectre of ethno-nationalism had not only influenced Christian minorities under Ottoman rule, but also the Young Turks which were a group of educated, secular and liberal leaning figures who wanted to abolish the rule of the Sultan and implement a constitutional government modelled on the secular liberal democracies of Europe.
Despite their name they were in fact drawn from many ethnic groups including Turks, Jews, Greeks, and initially Armenians.
One of the factions of the Young Turks was the Committee for Union and Progress (CUP) which was rooted in ideas of nationalism and demanded rapid modernisation of the empire in the belief it would ensure its survival.
The CUP were to infiltrate the Ottoman army, and in 1908 staged a coup overthrowing Sultan Abdel Hamid II in the Young Turk Revolution. Elections were held in 1908 where the CUP won many seats in the Ottoman parliament and several nationalist political parties emerged representing the Armenian, Bulgarian and Jewish interests. The Sultan mounted an unsuccessful countercoup the following year and was deposed.
Meanwhile, the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913 saw the loss of almost all of the Ottoman Empire's European territories. Turkish nationalism within the CUP rose as the empire became less European in nature and ideas of co-existence with minorities became less realistic.
The ongoing power struggle between the CUP and other Young Turk factions led to the CUP banning all other political parties and creating a one party state. Its leaders were known as the three Pashas. In 1914 they would join World War I and fight as allies of the Germans against French, British and Russian forces.
A disputed genocide
In 1914 the Pasha leaders were to launch an attack on the eastern border of the empire against the Russian army. The Battle of Sarikamesh was a disaster for the Turks – there were huge casualties ending in a decisive Russian victory.
It was a turning point in relations between the Armenians and the CUP who had initially envisioned the Armenians as an ongoing part of the Ottoman state. Now their position changed to a much narrower view of a future nation with the emphasis on Turkic ethno nationalism.
They blamed Armenian-Russian collaboration for the defeat at Sarikamesh, citing the refusal of Armenians on the Russian side to fight for them as a sign of treachery. Ongoing support for Armenian nationalism and liberation from the Ottoman state by Russia during this period meant the Pasha leadership now saw the Armenians as a traitorous fifth column with uncertain loyalties.

The aftermath of the battle saw the demobbing of Armenian soldiers who were killed by Ottoman soldiers for treachery. Several episodes of Armenian armed resistance against the Ottoman empire led the Pasha leaders to round up and arrest over 250 Armenian intellectuals and political leaders, most of whom would later be killed. Armenians mark the start of the "genocide" from this day on April 24th 1915.
Fears of Russian Armenian collaboration and the presence of Armenians close to the border with Russia and to Ottoman lines of communication led to the fateful decision by the Pasha leaders to deport hundreds of thousands of Armenians from Eastern Turkey to the Syrian desert where many died of starvation and disease or were killed.
The total number of dead is disputed: Turkish officials put it at 300,000 while Armenian sources claim 1.5 million died. The dispute does not end at the number of dead, Armenians insist a genocide took place and the killings were pre-meditated acts of terror intended to destroy the Armenia population, while Turkey asserts the events were a reaction to legitimate security concerns over the sovereignty of its empire during wartime.
Genocide recognition
The definition of the term "genocide" was coined many years later.
Article Two of the UN Convention on Genocide of December 1948 describes genocide as carrying out acts intended "to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group."
Many European nations such as Germany and France recognise the Armenian genocide. It is commemorated in the French capital each year and genocide denial carries a heavy fine or a year in prison. Similar stringent laws regarding "genocide denial" apply in Greece and Italy while many American Jewish groups and the Catholic Church have also offered official recognition of the massacres as genocide.
The UK has not given official recognition citing the lack of evidence available in making a decision although it acknowledges the tragedy. Other countries such as Denmark say genocide recognition is a matter for historians rather than governments to decide.
Joe Biden Editorial credit: Crush Rush / Shutterstock.com
The issue of recognition has all too often rested on the its political implications. For example, Israel has declined to officially recognise the genocide for a myriad of reasons including the need to preserve ties with Turkey and its main ally in the region Azerbaijan, one of the biggest importers of Israeli arms. Others within the Israeli state fear recognition could challenge the unique nature of the Holocaust and sideline historical narratives of Jewish suffering.
In 2014 Bashar Al Assad became the first Syrian leader to openly recognise the Armenian genocide when he compared Turkish-backed Syrian rebels to the Ottoman army in 1915.
"In more recent modern times, it reminds us of the massacres perpetrated by the Ottomans against the Armenians, when they killed a million and a half Armenians and half a million Orthodox Syriacs in Syria and in Turkish territory," he said.
Almost six years later in 2020 the Syrian Parliament made the decision to officially recognise the genocide in a formal statement as violent clashes between Turkey and Syria took place in the war torn areas in and around Idlib along their mutual border.
And today U.S. President Joe Biden looks set to fulfil one of his campaign promises when following lobbying by the Armenian American diaspora and the support of over a hundred political representatives from both sides of the political divide to officially recognise the killings of 1915 as genocide.
It's a move, of course, that will anger America's NATO ally Turkey, but relations between the two nations have soured over Turkish military intervention in Kurdish-held areas of Northern Syria in 2018 and its purchases of Russian air missiles.
So no doubt the events of 1915 resulted in the loss of countless lives and untold suffering. And while the recognition of the events as genocide may allow healing for the Armenian people, official recognition is too often tied to shifting political loyalties where the intention is point-scoring rather than a desire to prevent further genocides.

Red Óg joins North
Red Óg Murphy will be hoping to become the next Gaelic footballer to play in the AFL.
By Heath O'Loughlin on
Red Óg Murphy will be hoping to become the next Gaelic footballer to play in the AFL after signing with North Melbourne.
The young Sligo player trialled with the club in August and impressed according to North's GM of Football Cameron Joyce.
"Red was invited to Arden Street and we were really happy with his ability and character," Joyce said.
"Our recruiters, and in particular our Pro Scout Nick Byrne, have stayed in touch with him and his family over the past few months and we are really happy to have signed him as a Category-B rookie on our list."
In particular, Murphy's running capacity stood out and his testing ranked in the top echelon of players at the club.
"We did a variety of tests with Red and he was exceptional," Joyce added.
"We feel that he has the right foundations to enable him to have a real crack at playing in the AFL and we will give him every chance."
Murphy recently played for his club side Curry against Shamrock Gaels on the weekend in the Kennedys Intermediate final replay but unfortunately, his side lost 1-13 to 1-10.
The forward, one of his club's and county Sligo's brightest prospects, will now have a much bigger challenge on his hands as he attempts to trade the round ball for the Sherrin.
There are currently 13 other Irish players in the AFL.

By Dr. Panagiotis Karavitis Yet another Italian designer with beautiful electronics, only this time the looks are neo-classic. Or, even better: "retro-modern". I'm inventing words, aren't I? The latest line from Pathos reminds me of the film Metropolis. Squared edges, non-parallel surfaces and massive heatsinks finished in brushed aluminum. The visible tubes create that link between the modern and the classic that makes Pathos electronics so distinctive. Main system included the Endorphin CD player, Synapse pre, Adrenalin power amp and Frontiers Prime loudspeakers with their distinctive orientable mid-high frequency upper cabinet. Serving music an AMG Viella 12 turntable connected to the "In the Groove mk II" phonostage and the "Musiteca", a music server with incorporated 24/192 DAC in pure Pathos style, thus finished in brushed metal for a total of 38 kgr! The Prime speakers with their adjustable directivity for the upper octaves managed to create excellent, holographic imaging in Cuban classic "Candela" from Buena Vista Social Club.
Also in the room the Aurum headphone amplifier, with tube complement in the driving stage and MOS-FET in the output, adjustable impedance for excellent matching with all cans and retro-modern looks in typical Pathos fashion paired with top of the line Grado models. Less demanding headphones were connected directly to the Converto DAC which offers a small headphone amp.
Any information about the cables used by Pathos (interconnect and speakers)?
I'm afraid not. There was no sign of the cable manufacturer in the room or in the show program. Actually some of the exhibitors restrain from "promoting" cables as they want only their electronics to show off.
Strange…But Pathos is always somehow mysterious about cables. In the brochure of my (Pathos, obviously) cd player and amplifier, they do stress the importance of using quality cables, underline that they use silver cabling…but when asked, refrain from giving a firm recommendation.
The CD transport…. tell more, please!
It is a complete CD player. Mechanism should be the CDM pro by Philips (excellent one) and features one tube on the output stage of each channel. Packs coaxial and optical digital outputs, xlr and single end analog ones.
Live is even more beautiful than what appears on the pics.

Director Laura Warner's new film exposes 'heartbreaking' tiger trafficking farms
Olivia Adams February 26, 2020 9:00 am
The leading female film director shares shocking secrets of the illegal tiger trade in South East Asia in her latest documentary: Tigers: Hunting the Traffickers
Danger. Jungle. Tigers. Trafficking. The words used by award-winning director, journalist and cinematographer Laura Warner to describe her 'typical working day' are far from usual, but the mum-of-two couldn't be happier about it. 'I have the best job in the world,' she tells us.
Laura, 44, has created 11 trafficking films, tackling subjects such as black-market commodities including babies, human organs, guns and fake pharmaceuticals. Ahead of the unveiling of her latest documentary, Tigers: Hunting the Traffickers, uncovering illegal tiger farms in South East Asia, we spoke with Laura to learn more about her perilous journey across Malaysia, China, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. A year in the making, she recorded evidence that tigers are being farmed and butchered to meet demand for illegal products like tiger-bone wine and tiger bone glue, which are believed to have medicinal values in parts of Asia and yield a street-value higher than cocaine.
It's estimated 96% of the world's wild tigers have disappeared since the turn of the 20th century and there are fewer than 4,000 tigers left in the wild. Here, Laura talks about the reality of working in a man's world and expands on what we can all do to help protect tigers from extinction.
From tiger wine breweries in China to small backyard holdings in Vietnam, the programme uncovers appalling evidence of demand for tiger parts (courtesy of BBC)
What was the most shocking discovery for you?
Seeing cages and cages of sad-looking tigers. The Chinese came up with this idea of farming them because they breed really well in captivity, and are really hard to catch in the wild. This story was particularly complicated to tell because I know people are going to question why it is wrong to breed tigers because we do the same for cows and sheep, but these animals aren't endangered. Tiger farms continue to drive consumer demand for tiger products, fuelling poaching and putting this majestic species on the brink of extinction.
Did the tigers ever try to fight the traffickers?
It's really sad. These tigers are clearly aware that they are not the boss. They just do as they are told. It feels wrong. And because they're sold on their weight, ahead of being killed and cooked to order, they are pumped full of liquid and fed chicken so they're as fat as possible. They can barely stand up, and their stomachs scrape the ground. They are broken.
Did you become emotional at any point?
It's my job to examine and explore the issue, and I don't think that excludes being emotional about what you see. If I have an emotional reaction to a person or a situation or an animal, it means something important is happening. We saw hundreds and hundreds of tigers, but there were two I felt I had a connection with. I looked them in the eye and they were begging me to help them. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
Were you worried for your safety at any point?
Ultimately, if you're trying to gather as much evidence as possible about an illegal activity, run by criminal networks, there's always a risk. If they suspect at any point that you're going to be disrupting their income…[pauses]. But I do stress that I've got 20 years of experience of investigating criminal networks, so I'm quit savvy. And the team had Aldo Kane with us, who specialises in providing safety for film and television productions in extreme environments. That said, with all missions, there is also a degree of luck to its success.
Aldo Kane is a former Royal Marines Commando (courtesy of BBC)
What could happen if you are caught when undercover?
You hope you're going to get shouted off location, but you just don't know. It depends how threatened the traffickers feel. But we don't go into any of these situations lightly. Yes, there is a large degree of danger, but I do have two kids at home so I always aim to make sure that I come back in one piece.
Do emotions run high when you have to leave them?
Every time I leave I'm racked with endless guilt. I feel really bad and the night before I leave I infrequently sleep. Yes, they do really miss me and for a week after I come back there's definitely a lot of cuddles. But I've got two girls, Alva, 8 and Mila, 6, and as they've got older it's become quite important to me that they see that I can do this. It's important to me that they think I can do anything and by extension, so can they.
How do you juggle parenting duties when you're away for weeks at a time?
I have an amazing live-in nanny and my partner pulls his weight. After all, they are his kids too [laughs]! It's interesting because in previous job interviews I always find a conversation comes up about what my childcare is, and I know the majority of my male colleagues also have children and they never have that conversation.
Do you feel that you are, as a woman, fighting for equality in your industry?
[Immediately] Yes. There are certain roles within the industry where it's considered totally normal to be a woman: in production management, the producer role, or the executive producer role, for example. But then I do feel that as a director – and especially as a self-shooting director (somebody who picks up a camera, deals with kit and talks about technical stuff like lenses ) – it's met with surprise. It's still not normalised and that saddens me. I think it's really important to have female role models in that creative and more techy space because unless other women, younger women, can see that it's all possible, you just assume that as soon as you have kids you just retire to the office. I don't want to retire to the office.
How did you get into this career – have you always been interested in adventure?
Basically, yes! My mother is an artist, so I was always going to do something creative. I studied languages at university and did lots of trips abroad, and that started my passion for photography, which then morphed into documentary and filmmaking. I'm paid to do my passion.
What was a typical day like for you on location?
As the film is an investigation we have a tiny team, and the days are long and hard. Sometimes you get up in the morning, prep all of the kit and then traipse through a jungle – getting caught on branches and battling rainstorms – for hours to find the farms. Then we set up camera traps or try and sneak in and get as much footage as possible, as well as shooting interviews. We were doing three to four countries on a run, so you come back quite broken, quite tired. It's really satisfying though and I wouldn't have it any other way. You really need to be able to survive on four hours sleep and sporadic food, and be prepared to get very wet and muddy and covered in leeches.

It sounds like you need some serious physical strength for these projects – do you train or hit the gym in advance of filming?
Yeah, and actually as I've got older I have to do more. I used to bash out a 10K run or two a week, but now I go to a CrossFit gym four times a week. I don't think I could do this job unless I was really fit.
Do you watch lighthearted reality shows in your downtime, or are you a bit of a TV snob?!
I do spend a lot of time watching feature docs, but if I'm really stressed out at work and I just need to not think about anything, I watch Death in Paradise. I'm such an old woman!

The documentary raises awareness of the trade, but is there anything we can do as individuals to protect the tigers?

Absolutely. Everybody can do their part. The most important thing is that people are aware that this happens. If you're going to go on holiday to Thailand, China or Vietnam, don't go to a tiger zoo. We can all do something – we can petition governments, we can pay attention to what's happening. Ultimately, it's public awareness and pressure that helped change the laws on elephant ivy, for example. Five years ago, no one knew what a Pangolin was, but now everybody knows that they're the most trafficked animal in the world. That just takes all of us to put pressure on governments and institutions.

Sugar Awareness Week: 5 expert tips for making the smartest sugar choices


How do tall trees get water to the top?
This can be explained with the help of cohesion and the transpiration pull theory. According to the theory put forward by Dixon and Joly. The strong force of cohesion and the continuity of the water column in the xylem vessel elements and the transpiration pull are responsible for the ascent of sap. The cohesive and the adhesive property of the water which builds up an unbroken continuous column of water.
The water potential of the dry air is lower than the intercellular space of the mesophyll cells since it is accumulated with the water vapor. Thus the water vapor diffuses out through the stomata and the process is known as the transpiration. Thus due to transpiration the water potential of the surrounding cells get reduced so that the water is drawn from the adjacent cells and then ultimately from the xylem cells so as to meet the demand of the loss of water through transpiration. Due to transpiration continuous flow of water occurs and a tension is created inside the xylem cylinder and this pull or tension is known as the transpiration pull. The transpiration pull exerted on the continuous water column lifts the water to the tips of the tallest trees. This tension in the xylem vessel element is transmitted to the root tip which is in contact with the water present in the soil.


BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA 9) -- Crews have finished repairing a water main break in Bethesda that created icy road conditions on Walhonding Road on Tuesday evening.Walhonding Road connects MacArthur Boulevard with Massachusetts Avenue.
The water main break occurred around 5 p.m. on Walhonding Road between Massachusetts Avenue and Sangamore Road.
Water was flowing down the street at a steady flow for hours. Combine that with the freezing temperatures and the existing patches of black ice on the street and it was expected to make for some treacherous conditions Wednesday.
There's no word on whether or not customers have water service again.

How the Elements Got Their Names
The CruxBy Mark Lorch, University of HullJun 9, 2016 2:42 PM
(Credit: Antoine2K/Shutterstock)
The seventh row of the periodic table is complete, resplendent with four new names for the elements 113, 115, 117 and 118. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (the organization charged with naming the elements) has suggested these should be called nihonium (Nh); moscovium (Mc); tennessine (Ts) and oganesson (Og) and is expected to confirm the proposal in November.
The three former elements are named after the regions where they were discovered (and Nihonium references Nihon the Japanese name for Japan). And "oganesson" is named after the Russian-American physicist Yuri Oganessian, who helped discover them.
After years of having to make do with temporary monikers while the elements were officially being added to the periodic table and evaluated by the IUPAC, these new names are much welcomed by scientists. Alas, those calling for names in tribute to great folk of popular culture have gone unheeded; Octarine (the color of magic, according to Terry Pratchett), Ziggium (in tribute to David Bowie's alter ego Ziggy Stardust) and Severium (in tribute to Alan Rickman and via Severus Snape) will not adorn the updated table.
Instead IUPAC have followed their rules which stipulate that "elements are named after a mythological concept or character (including an astronomical object); a mineral, or similar substance; a place or geographical region; a property of the element; or a scientist".
But there wasn't always such an organization overseeing the names of the elements. Most of them have come about via contorted etymologies. So to give you an idea of the diversity of the most famous of scientific tables, I've turned it into an infographic and summarized a few of the etymologies in numbers.

Two of the elements stink. Bromine means "stench" and osmium means "smells". France also appears twice on the periodic table in the form of francium and gallium (from Gaul) and its capital city, Paris, gets a mention (in the form of lutetium).
Three sanskrit words – eka, dvi and tri, meaning one, two and three – were prefixed to elements and used as provisional names for those that had yet to be discovered. Eka- is used to denote an element directly below another in the table, dvi- is for an element two rows down and tri- is three rows beneath. Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev first used this nomenclature to fill in the gaps in his early periodic table, so element number 32 was known as eka-silicon until it was discovered and named germanium in 1886. Similarly, rhenium was known as dvi-manganese until 1926. Some 14 elements have had eka names including our four new additions which before their discovery were known as eka-thallium, eka-bismuth, eka-astitine and eka-radon.
Four of the elements are named after planets (Earth – in the form of tellurium, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus). A further two are named after dwarf plants (Pluto and Ceres), while one after a star (helium from the Greek for the sun – Helios) and another after an asteroid (Pallas) feature on the periodic table.
Five elements are named after other elements: molybdenum is from the Greek for lead, molybdos, while platinum comes from the Spanish platina meaning "little silver". Radon is derived from radium, zirconium has its roots in the Arabic zarkûnmeaning "gold-like" and nickel is from the German for "devil's copper".
Eight elements were first isolated from rocks quarried in a the small village of Ytterby in Sweden. Four of those elements are named in tribute to the village (ytterbium, erbium, terbium, yttrium).
15 are named after scientists, only two of whom were women: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner are immortalized in curium and meitnerium.
18 elements have had placeholder names derived from the Latin for the elements atomic number (for example ununoctium, now oganesson). This was introduced to stop scientists fighting over what their discoveries should be called. Nobody wants a repeat of the three-decade long "Transferium Wars" when battles raged between competing American and Russian laboratories over what to call elements 104, 105 and 106.
42 elements' names are derived from Greek; 23 from Latin; 11 from English; five are Anglo-saxon; five German; five Swedish; two Norse; three Russian, and one apiece for Japanese, Sanskrit, Gaelic, Arabic and Spanish.
118 elements appear on the periodic table, and the seventh row is complete, but that doesn't mean the table is finished. Laboratories around the world are busy smashing atoms together in an attempt to forge new, even heavier, elements. The hope is that before long these latter day alchemists will hit upon the fabled "island of stability"; a region of the table that harbors elements with half-lives much longer that the sub-second lives of nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson.

I don't have much time to figure how many files I've changed, so I've only done a whole re-distribution.
Inline html will let you completely break the validation if you don't know html.
until yesterday when I discovered that if I disable the plugin '"lightbox" everything works fine!
I hope you'll find the bug that's causing the problem.
4)I;d like to ask,I run the very first version of FP.Will I be able to update directly to Cresendo+1 after it is released or will I have to do first all the small patches and then the big update?
About the bug with media player, it's located in the Lightbox code as you said.
I created a plugin using Lytebox instead and its working fine with firefox and internet explorer.
thanks for your help and for Flatpress.
FlatPress 1.1 "Da capo" is here!

Summer might be over but coastal, fresh timeless interiors are always on my mind. This home by the great Spanish designer Isabel López-Quesada has all the ingredients to become a favorite of mine: blue and white, natural textures, beautiful fabrics, amazing Art and Antiques and the Greek sun looking over you, what else can you ask for?
Aerin Lauder has joined forces with Lee Jofa for the second time to create a new tasteful collection.
The enduring theme is sophisticated and feminine, with a bohemian charm: classic Asian prints; vibrant floral and paisley embroideries; a classic brocatelle; ethnic inspired jacquards, and neutral textures that are perfect for pairing.
Alongside the beautifully crafted textiles, they have also introduced wall coverings: a classic leopard design, and a three-panel scenic mural on fine linen created from an 18th-century design.
The late Alberto Pinto left a legacy of timeless beauty in everything he did, from a table setting to a complete home like the one I'm sharing with you today. Pinto used masterfully blue, white and red through this Brazilian home creating a relaxed sophistication difficult to beat.

The Visegrád Group (V4) has lately been in the European spotlight. This once peripheral, regional alliance suddenly proved capable of single-cause impromptu mobilisation within the EU-framework. In the middle of the so-called 'refugee crisis' it actively resisted the European Commission on relocation quotas. How sustainable is this new capacity and how can it affect the European Union? The opportunity to tackle these questions presents itself again due to the emerging debate on European social and labour policies.
Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia joined the EU in 2004. Nevertheless, they are still called 'new member states' as the long-awaited convergence of wages, living standards, and access to social services never fully materialized. What did happen was mass emigration, especially from Poland and Hungary, causing a so-called brain-drain of the economically active population and putting national social-security systems in jeopardy.
At the same time, competitive advantage in the region has mostly been gained through a cheap and qualified labour force, tax exemptions, and more flexible labour rights. As a result, the economic strategy that makes the V4 countries attractive for business is simultaneously holding them hostage in the middle-income trap. Building a solid welfare state could change that, but other political interests outweigh social concerns. For example, in January 2017, the European Parliament voted on a resolution on the Pillar of Social Rights, prepared by the centre-left Socialists & Democrats group. In the plenary vote, the vast majority of MEPs from the V4 countries were against it, even though the proposals for strengthening labour rights were restricted to the Eurozone.
This attitude is in line with the initial discontent of some Eastern European states with the initiative to reform the posted workers' directive. Emmanuel Macron's 'divide and rule' strategy in approaching only the chosen Eastern member states while by-passing the hardliners, like Poland and Hungary, paid off. He won the backing of Slovakia and Czechia as well as Romania's and Bulgaria's readiness to seek compromises on the contested regulation.
Nevertheless, from the perspective of some member states, coordination of social policy at the European level is still perceived as harmful. In their view, harmonisation of labour regulations or introduction of common European social transfers could lead to the loss of their competitive advantage or increase their budget deficit. In other words, social policy is by some still considered an expense, not an investment.
In March 2017, shortly after the White Paper on the future of European Union by Jean-Claude Juncker had been published, a special meeting of V4 leaders was held in Warsaw. They agreed that the values on which the EU is based remain valid and one should strictly avoid any kind of disintegration of the single market, the Schengen area and the European Union itself. It is evident that Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary are not in favour of federalisation, but a return to the single-market-only model does not seem satisfying either.
The conclusion is that the V4 needs Europe, but is incapable of delivering any constructive visions. The Group is not even institutionalized in the sense of a formal administration and embraces many contradicting interests. There are some fundamental differences between the dogmatic collision course of the Polish government and Hungary's pragmatic approach towards the EU, symbolically embodied in Victor Orban's support for Donald Tusk as President of the European Council.
Even if the impression of the 'troublesome' V4 was strengthened by Poland and Hungary, the Czech and Slovak attitudes towards the EU are not alike. In particular Slovakia significantly advanced integration with the EU by joining the Eurozone in 2009. Initially the poorest of all V4 countries, today it's one of the world's leading car manufacturers per capita, drawing direct foreign investments mostly from Germany, France and Asia. The internal dynamics of the V4 will now change again, after the centrist-populist Ano party has won the elections in Czechia.
Today, the Visegrád Group seems dependent on immediate political circumstances and individual interests will therefore most likely tip the balance in the debate over 'Social Europe'. Poland, the biggest and lately the most confrontational country of the region, seems to be losing its leading position. Slovakia (which) would be the readiest to break out from the Group, not keen on being "left behind" if the multi-speed scenario for Europe gains traction.
When it comes to others, the flexibility of Orban and Andrej Babiš, likely the next Czech prime minister, will allow them to treat the V4 in a rather opportunistic way, uniting to seek favourable trade-offs and reach satisfying, ad hoc deals.
Generally speaking, the upheaval of the social pillar could become a tangible proof of the EU's value and purpose after years of 'polycrisis'. However, there are hurdles on the way, not only of an institutional or structural character. There is a profound lack of consent what the EU should look like in the future and which principles it should follow. What for some comes across as a "betrayal of the European spirit", others consider to be free and fair competition. On top of that, recent failures in managing the migration influx has lowered public confidence in European institutions. Thus, the coordination of social policy within the Community seems as complex as necessary a task for years to come.

Q: NSArray randomly turning into different things! I am having a problem with memory management I think. My NSArray (called arr) is turning into different things at random times. I have no idea why. I have a .h file that that declares the array, and then I initialize the array using
NSString *input = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:NSACIIStringEncoding];
arr = [input componentsSeperatedByString:@"\n"];

and then I use it throughout the program and suddenly it changes into different things (UITouch, sometimes, for example). I never called a release on it. Why is it doing this? How do I prevent objects from randomly being changed due to memory issues?
Thanks!

A: What happens, is that the memory, once occupied by your NSArray, is occupied by another object. This may be any object, and since you're touching the screen a lot a UITouch is very common.
This means you're not retaining the NSArray when you should, so it is released prematurely. You don't show the code declaring arr, but if you declare arr as
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSArray *arr;

and synthesize it using
@synthesize arr;

then the retaining is handled by simply assiging to self.arr instead of arr:
self.arr = [input componentsSeperatedByString:@"\n"];

In cocoa-speak, your object now "owns" the array. In the dealloc method of this class, you should [self.arr release].
Should you assign some other array to self.arr, the object assigned to self.arr previously will get released, and the new one retained.

A: Try to retain arr.
arr = [[input componentsSeperatedByString:@"\n"] retain];

A: Or Initalize a new Array with this array:
arr = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:input];

Decoding the structure of an RNA-based CRISPR system
Salk Institute researchers uncover molecular details of a new

Salk Institute researchers uncover molecular details of a new genetic engineering tool
LA JOLLA—Over the past several years, CRISPR-Cas9 has moved beyond the lab bench and into the public zeitgeist. This gene-editing tool holds promise for correcting defects inside individual cells and potentially healing or preventing many human ailments. But the Cas9 system alters DNA, not RNA, and some experts believe that being able to modify RNA ultimately may prove just as useful.
Now scientists from the Salk Institute are reporting for the first time the detailed molecular structure of CRISPR-Cas13d, a promising enzyme for emerging RNA-editing technology. They were able to visualize the enzyme thanks to cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a cutting-edge technology that enables researchers to capture the structure of complex molecules in unprecedented detail. The findings were reported September 20, 2018, in the journal Cell.

"This paper provides a molecular blueprint for RNA-targeted genetic engineering," says Salk Assistant Professor Dmitry Lyumkis, a structural biologist and one of the corresponding authors of the study. "It adds to the breadth of tools that are needed for conducting this kind of crucial biomedical research."
Derived from genes originally found in bacteria, CRISPR has been described as "molecular scissors" or a "word processing program for living cells." It swaps out one segment of genetic code with another. In the CRISPR-Cas9 system, Cas9 is the enzyme that cuts DNA. Having editing tools for RNA, however, would allow scientists to modify a gene's activity without making a permanent—and potentially dangerous—change to the gene itself.
"DNA is constant, but what's always changing are the RNA messages that are copied from the DNA," says Salk Research Associate Silvana Konermann, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hanna Gray Fellow and one of the study's first authors. "Being able to modulate those messages by directly controlling the RNA has important implications for influencing a cell's fate."
Earlier this year, Konermann and Helmsley-Salk Fellow Patrick Hsu published another paper in Cell discovering the family of enzymes called CRISPR-Cas13d and reporting that this alternate CRISPR system was effective in recognizing and cutting RNA. The team also showed this tool could be used to correct a disease-causing protein imbalance in cells from a person with dementia.
The new study, a collaboration between the Lyumkis and Hsu labs, built on the discovery of the Cas13d family and provides the molecular details that explain how it works.
"In our previous paper, we discovered a new CRISPR family that can be used to engineer RNA directly inside of human cells," says Hsu, who is the other corresponding author of the new work. "Now that we've been able to visualize the structure of Cas13d, we can see in more detail how the enzyme is guided to the RNA and how it is able to cut the RNA. These insights are allowing us to improve the system and make the process more effective, paving the way for new strategies to treat RNA-based diseases."
The team used cryo-EM to reveal new details into Cas13d by freezing the enzyme in different, dynamic states, allowing researchers to decode a range of activities instead of just seeing one activity at a single point in time.
"This enabled us to see how Cas13d guides, binds and targets the RNA," says Cheng Zhang, a research associate in the Lyumkis lab and the paper's other first author. "We hope this new knowledge will help expand on the power of gene-editing tools."
The paper's other authors were Nicholas J. Brideau and Peter Lotfy of Salk; Xuebing Wu of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research; and Scott J. Novick, Timothy Strutzenberg and Patrick R. Griffin of The Scripps Research Institute.
This work was supported by a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hannah H. Gray Fellowship; a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Fellowship; National Institutes of Health grants NIH-NCI CCSG P30 014195, DP5 OD021369, DP5 OD021396 and U54GM103368; and the Helmsley Charitable Trust.

Canada Builds 150
January 11, 2017 March 3, 2017 gramblor Build
Saint Michael's Cathedral Basilica
Founded in 1848, Saint Michael's Cathedral Basilica is one of the oldest unchanged monuments in Toronto architecture
Saint Michael's Cathedral Basilica serves as the principal church of Canada's largest English speaking Catholic archdiocese. Vivian Lo from ToroLUG has managed to capture the grandeur of the building wonderfully, in a small-but-mighty microscale model.
Though it is located in downtown Toronto and is one of the city's more iconic heritage buidlings, it was originally built in an area considered outside of the downtown core – and has been engulfed by the development of the city over time. Originally established in 1845, the cornerstone was laid by the first Catholic bishop of Toronto, Michael Power, following the establishment of the diocese after separating from the diocese of Kingston.
The building itself was constructed by William Thomas as an adaptation of the English Gothic architectural style typical of the 14th century, and the construction was largely financed by the Toronto area's Irish population, which ballooned following the famines in Ireland.
The design of this structure is said to be somewhat unique. Though it is modeled after the English Gothic style, it is somewhat atypical as it omits some of the more iconic features, such as flying buttresses and ribbed vaults. As well, the lack of transepts deny the building the typical cruciform shape. Following completion of the spire in 1867, and the dormers in 1890, the building has remained relatively unchanged since, and continues to serve as a landmark for Toronto architectural and religious history.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, daughter, sister and aunt, Mary Wendolyn McMullin. Wendy passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Monday, April 1, 2019, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Wendy was born in North Sydney on August 13, 1954. She was the daughter of Sadie and the late Garfield Boutilier of Little Pond.
Wendy grew up in a house full of family, love, and lots of laughter. She shared a very special bond with her sisters and brothers. Wendy was known for her quick wit, her humour, and her devotion to her family. Wendy married Jed McMullin in 1979, and they started their family together in Sydney Mines. Despite the devastating loss of Jed in 1997, Wendy's strength and resilience persevered. She worked hard to support her girls, and together they created many cherished memories. Wendy also shared many happy years with her partner Carl Gardner. Carl quickly became a member of the Boutilier Clan, and he and Wendy, along with the family, loved to camp and spend time in Beaver Cove, playing cards and sitting around the campfire. Wendy enjoyed road trips with her daughter Geralyn to Beaver Cove and Ingonish, and to visit her daughter Michelle.
She will be forever cherished by her daughters Geralyn and Michelle (Vince Marsden), her partner Carl also by Carl's son Wayne Gardner, siblings Donna Coady, Debby (Sandy Jardine), Marcy (Billy Unsworth), Nancy Balah, Irene (Les Ferguson), Gary (Cynthia), Cindy (Greg LeBlanc), and Paul (Gayle). She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, who she loved dearly, especially Erin and Kenneth, with whom she had a very special connection. Wendy was also close to her fur grandbabies Sierra, shea, Brook and Tingy.
Wendy was predeceased by her beloved husband Jed McMullin, father Garf Boutilier, father and mother-in-law Francis and Edith McMullin, brother-in-law Dave Balah, and fur baby Weaver.

Given our experience creating summer camp activities, it is not too often that the popularity of an activity offering surprises us. When counselors started offering camper-friendly yoga, and campers kept choosing the activity over and over again, admittedly, we did scratch our heads for a moment. However, we are super psyched on getting campers stretched, limber, and strong in kid-friendly yoga sessions! With gaining popularity, we want to offer all kinds of fun yoga games ranging from "yoga elimination" (don't worry – it's friendly) to "mountain top yoga" to "choose your own adventure yoga".

One of the collective members at Arizmendi bakery recently filled the Eater Investigation Squad in on its forthcoming fifth location at 1268 Valencia St. in San Francisco, adjacent to Heart wine bar.
The bakery has started construction this week along with outreach sessions for baker-owners, so if you dream of becoming an artisan baker, this would presumably be your golden opportunity.
If all goes as planned, wafting smells of seasonal pizza, sourdough bread, and morning pastries should be filling the street by September.
