Lullaby is the first artwork Luke has made specifically for young children. As a parent, he is particularly aware that a child's bedtime is a very special and fragile time of day. Lullaby is a gift to a city, a surround sound illuminated artwork, created by its own citizens and delivered at dusk to the public's door.
At dusk, when the suburban streets are quiet and empty, a young family wait for the Lullaby to pass by their home. Music can be heard drifting down the streets and a shoal of twinkling lights is seen in the distance, getting closer.
Only as the mass of lights pass their house do they realise that the music is coming from speakers attached to dozens of decorated bikes producing the most ambient light and serene music.
The last Lullaby event took place in Bristol, 2015, commissioned by Sustrans. See this map of the route taken.
Watch this film capturing a father and son's experience.
As a father of two young children, Lullaby is the first artwork Luke has made with children and young families in mind. Lullaby stems from Luke's other sleep based projects Sky Orchestra, The Dream Director and his Dream Concerts. The idea for Lullaby also came from an early childhood memory, when each Christmas the local bus company would decorate a double decker bus with lights then drive around villages at night, playing distorted carol music through tannoy speakers. Seen from the other side of the valley it was like aliens were landing.
Lullaby on Tour
The first Lullaby took place in Bristol with Sustrans in 2013. With music composed by established Bristol musician Andy Taylor, the pre-recorded surround-sound music was played from 5 audio speakers mounted onto bikes. With the route advertised in advance through the local paper and with flyers attached to lampposts on each street, many families chose to stay up and wait on the porch, for the Lullaby to arrive at their homes.
"Curtains were opened and many people waved as we passed. We even had a round of applause from one family. Some children ran after the bikes waving their own light sticks whilst others just stood with their mouths open, smiling." said Luke.
In September 2014, Lullaby was delivered to the children of Portland, UK for the B-Side Festival 2014. The surround sound event was delivered by local residents back to their own community.
Performed over seven consecutive nights, the artwork was presented in Holland at the Incubate Festival in Tilburg 15-21 September. Watch film. Watch on regional news.
In March 2015, Lullaby was commissioned by Sustrans in Northern Ireland and took place over three nights in different areas of Derry-Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Residents from both sides of the political divide, delivered a Lullaby to those in the opposite community. Listen to a BBC radio interview.
"You're coming back next year aren't you?!"
"I heard the music coming through the baby monitor at home. So I rushed out to watch."
"As darkness fell, my son was drifting off to sleep with the window open, and Ben and I sat in the living room, working. Suddenly we heard the sound of birdsong and music coming from the top of the street, and raced to the window to watch. Twenty or so bikes, covered in lights, meandered by in the dusky evening, the music getting louder and then quieter again as they passed the house. Ben, with his face pressed up against the glass, had a look of wonder on his face."
"We could tell they were coming, when we suddenly heard birdsong drifting down the street".
Feedback from Cycling Participants
"It was wonderful watching all the children in their dressing gowns come out of their homes with their parents to watch the procession as we passed by. You could tell some families had been waiting for us to pass."
"It made a big impression on my kids who took part in the ride with me, they'll remember the ride for a long time!"
"It was the highlight of my bank holiday: especially seeing everyone's faces light up — literally — as we approached."
"That was such a wonderful experience, I loved every minute."

MAMEM participated in a very interesting networking session organised by the Recall FET Project that was triggered by the belief that memory augmentation technology provides the user with the experience of an extended and enhanced memory, but which is based on improvements in the collection, mining, and presentation of information to facilitate memory recall. A lot of interesting ideas where discussed ranging from the visualisation and controlling of memories so as to understand what needs to be visualised, how it is visualised and how this can be used to control one's memories, all the way to the exploration of alternative cues, e.g. smell, touch and emotions. Check out the report that was kindly prepared and shared by the organisers.

Q: How to know if Excel Services is available on SharePoint? I'm using a Sharepoint 2010 server. Unfortunately, I'm not the administrator and I'm not able to connect with him. But I want to know, if Excel Services is installed and activated.
I'm able to edit an Excel file directly in the browser (Excel Web App). Does this automatically mean that Excel Services is installed?
And can I test the Excel REST API as well?

A: No, the Office for Web Applications (Excel) is not the same as Excel Services.  If you have both installed, the administrator would have had to run this powershell script in order to open Excel documents in the browser instead of OWA:
New-SPWOPISuppressionSetting -Extension "XLSX" -Action "view"

There are a few different methods to determine if Excel Services is working for you.  The most simplistic would be to open an Excel document that contains a Data Model.  Other methods would be to have an Excel document contain a Power Map view or Power View sheet.
The REST API will not respond without Excel services installed.

A: Without Admin access to SharePoint or Contact to SharePoint administrator, it little tricky to know about it.
But From Excel API you can try it.
To use the Rest API, you have to Craft the URI.
Workbook Uploaded Location: http://www.contoso.com/Shared Documents/Clock.xlsx.
Then craft the REST API URI to the scatter chart named Clock

http://www.contoso.com/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/SharedDocuments/Clock.xlsx/Model/Charts('Clock')

OFT Guidance on remote delivery
Written Osborne Clarke	on 09 Oct 2012
Is "Free UK delivery" misleading if in fact there are charges for delivery to more remote areas? The OFT has published guidance on this and other issues to help online businesses improve services to more far flung parts. Mark Smith reports.
Topic: Distance selling
Who: Office of Fair Trading
Where: UK
When: 18 September 2012
Law stated as at: 4 October 2012
The Office of Fair Trading has issued new guidance to help online businesses comply with the law and provide a better service to consumers living in remote areas of the UK.
Approximately half a million people are considered by the OFT to live in remote areas, including vast tracts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, much of central Wales and even parts of the author's native Northumberland! While the internet allows those living in remote areas to access a wider range of suppliers than they can locally, the OFT has found that delivery terms and costs can make it difficult for them to get the best value from the online marketplace.
In a call for evidence earlier this year, the OFT heard from people unhappy about delivery costs being presented late in the buying process, let down by suppliers refusing to deliver to remote locations and misled by sites that promised "Free UK Delivery" but imposed delivery charges.
The new guidance recommends online businesses that to be compliant with the law they should:
display delivery charges clearly and early on in the purchasing process;
make sure any additional charges imposed on delivery to remote locations are justified and displayed clearly and early on in the purchasing process;
check that when the term 'Free UK Delivery' is used, it is not misleading, for example if it doesn't include remote locations
recognise it may take longer to deliver to remote locations and explain this clearly and early on in the purchasing process;
only refuse to deliver to remote locations if it is justified by objective criteria, for example additional costs incurred because of the distance; and
allow customers to return faulty goods for free, and to return unwanted goods that fall within the statutory seven-day cooling off period for free unless customers have been notified in writing that charges would apply.
It is worth flagging that the Q&A section of the OFT website states that advertising a "Free UK Delivery" policy and setting out exceptions only in detailed terms and conditions is not appropriate, and that any geographical restrictions must be highlighted more prominently.
The internet has revolutionised the way those living in remote areas can shop, but current practices with respect to delivery to remote areas have left some feeling cheated. Retailers and other businesses should remember that where their delivery practices discriminate between those living in remote areas and those that don't, they need to flag any differences early and clearly in the purchase process, and avoid giving misleading messages to consumers based in remote locations.

Q: WPF DispatcherTimer does not fire I have a class with RefreshAsync method which can take a long time to execute.
I am using Mvvm light framework.
I need to call it after object created but not everytime when I get it's instance from servicelocator
var vm = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<FileSystemViewModel>();

So I use DispatcherTimer to create deferred update logic. But it does not fire and I don't know why.
Here is the code
private DispatcherTimer _timer;

public FileSystemViewModel()
{
    _timer = new DispatcherTimer(DispatcherPriority.Send) {Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(20)};
    _timer.Tick += DefferedUpdate;
    _timer.Start();
}

private async void DefferedUpdate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    (sender as DispatcherTimer)?.Stop();
    await RefreshAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
}

A: Creating a DispatcherTimer must be done from a thread with an active Dispatcher or by passing an active dispatcher to the timer's constructor, e.g.
new DispatcherTimer(Application.Current.Dispatcher)

You should also consider if you really need a DispatcherTimer... A view model could most of the time do with a regular timer (e.g. System.Timers.Timer). Or in your case, even better - a simple Task.Delay in the async method:
private async Task DefferedUpdate()
{
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(20)).ConfigureAwait(false);
    await RefreshAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
}

Q: Python OGR: convert a point geometry into polygon I'm writing a routine for creating the convex hull envelop around shapefiles of islands.
I could read the data, extract polygons vertices into a geometry and then compute the convex hull.
Now I need to save it to a shapefile of polygons.
Is there a way to transform the geometry (named convexHull in my code) returned by the convexHull method into a polygon geometry; or am I forced to parse all vertices of convexHull and create a ring of a polygon?
def doConvexHull(infile, outfile):
    inH = ogr.Open(infile, 0)
    if inH is None:
        usage("Could not open file {0}. Exit.".format(infile))
    layer = inH.GetLayer()

    # get all polygons
    thisGeometry = ogr.Geometry(ogr.wkbPoint)
    for index in xrange(layer.GetFeatureCount()):
        feature = layer.GetFeature(index)
        geometry = feature.GetGeometryRef()
        ring = geometry.GetGeometryRef(0)
        points = ring.GetPointCount()
        for p in xrange(points):
            lon, lat, z = ring.GetPoint(p)
            thisGeometry.AddPoint(lon, lat)

    convexHull = thisGeometry.ConvexHull()

    drv = ogr.GetDriverByName( "ESRI Shapefile" )
    ds = drv.CreateDataSource( outfile )
    if ds is None:
        usage("Could not create file {0}".format( outfile) )

    lyrname = "convexHull_${0}".format( layer.GetName() )
    lyr = ds.CreateLayer( lyrname, layer.GetSpatialRef(), ogr.wkbPolygon )
    thisFeature = ogr.Feature( layer.GetLayerDefn() )
    thisFeature.SetGeometry( convexHull )
    lyr.CreateFeature( thisFeature ): error from geometry

A: The OGR convexHull method returns a polygon so the answer to your question is 'no'.  You do not need to parse the vertices or convert the geometry.
I notice that you are defining thisGeometry to be of type ogr.wkbPoint.  wkbPoint geometry is for storing single points and not multiple points or polygons.  You also don't need to parse every single point but can add entire geometries to your collection wholesale.  For your use-case I suggest you try:
thisGeometry = ogr.Geometry(ogr.wkbGeometryCollection)
for index in range(layer.GetFeatureCount()):
    feature = layer.GetFeature(index)
    geometry = feature.GetGeometryRef()
    thisGeometry.AddGeometry(geometry)

convexHull = thisGeometry.ConvexHull()

The result of this should be a normal convex hull polygon.

A: In this case what is happening is that you are creating a geometry of type Point. Point geometries can only contain one actual point.
thisGeometry.GetGeometryCount() #1

ConvexHull() actully creates a geometry of the minimum number of dimensions that contains all of the geometry of the parent object. So if there is one point, the convex hull will be a point, for two points it will be a line (assuming no coincident points), and for three or more it will be a polygon (assuming the points aren't in a line and aren't coincident).
To check this the easiest way is to use the ogr.GeometryTypeToName method:
ogr.GeometryTypeToName(convexHull.GetGeometryType())

The easiest way for you to get the convex hull for a group of islands would be to create a GeometryCollection and get the convex hull from that, like so:
geom_collection = ogr.Geometry(ogr.wkbGeometryCollection)
for feature in layer: #layers (and datasets) have a list interface
    geometry = feature.GetGeometryRef()
    geom_collection.AddGeometry(geometry)

convex_hull = geom_collection.ConvexHull()

And this convex hull should be a polygon (as it's created from a collection of polygons) which means that you should be able to use it as input for your output dataset.
If you still wanted to get the convex hull of multiple points you would have to create a geometry of type MultiPoint and then add the points to that MultiPoint object individually.
thisGeometry = ogr.Geometry(ogr.wkbMultiPoint)
for feature in layer:
    geometry = feature.GetGeometryRef()
    for ring in geometry: #This is assuming that the geometry is a polygon
        for point in ring:
            thisGeometry.AddGeometry(point)

convexHull = thisGeometry.ConvexHull()

A: I realised that I did not use the proper type for the initial collection of points. I set it to wkbLineString, which allowed me to use the AddPoint method on the collection (in the initial code, I had only 1 point at the end in my collection.
I also made some corrections, by adding a field (that is mandatory) and destroying the data source to force writing to file.
Hereafter the corrected code:
def doConvexHull(infile, outfile):
    inH = ogr.Open(infile, 0)
    if inH is None:
        usage("Could not open file {0}. Exit.".format(infile))
    layer = inH.GetLayer()

    # get all polygons
    thisGeometry = ogr.Geometry(ogr.wkbLineString)
    for index in xrange(layer.GetFeatureCount()):
        feature = layer.GetFeature(index)
        geometry = feature.GetGeometryRef()
        ring = geometry.GetGeometryRef(0)
        points = ring.GetPointCount()
        for p in xrange(points):
            lon, lat, z = ring.GetPoint(p)
            thisGeometry.AddPoint(lon, lat)

    convexHull = thisGeometry.ConvexHull()

    drv = ogr.GetDriverByName( "ESRI Shapefile" )
    if os.path.exists(outfile):
        drv.DeleteDataSource(outfile)
    ds = drv.CreateDataSource( outfile )
    if ds is None:
        usage("Could not create file {0}".format( outfile) )

    # fields
    fldDfn = ogr.FieldDefn('id', ogr.OFTInteger)
    fldDfn.SetWidth(4)

    lyrname = "convexHull_${0}".format( layer.GetName() )
    lyr = ds.CreateLayer( lyrname, layer.GetSpatialRef(), ogr.wkbPolygon )
    lyr.CreateField(fldDfn)

    thisFeature = ogr.Feature( lyr.GetLayerDefn() )
    thisFeature.SetGeometry( convexHull )
    thisFeature.SetField('id',1)
    lyr.CreateFeature( thisFeature )

    ds.Destroy()


Sample Invoice For Services Rendered – If it involves you wanting to set goals for yourself there are several ways that this may be done. You could of course only consider putting them. However if you really ought to make sure that you achieve your goals then using goal setting worksheets should really be considered.
Let me explain why the utilization of a setting goals worksheet can help you to achieve what you desire. Visualize for a moment hoping to change the wheel on an automobile if you haven't obtained a port or a leaky iron to achieve that. With no tools that you may need to look elsewhere for assistance in doing everything exactly is clearly a quite simple undertaking. Similarly with no right kind purpose setting techniques worksheets obtaining your objective gets a lot harder.
With no proper kind of objective setting worksheet template then the endeavor of putting down words what you wish to achieve is more difficult. Using a template guiding you that the worksheet it creates it a lot easier that you focus and get clear on your goals. Once you know everything you would like then you definitely carry on to follow exactly the steps from the worksheet to achieve your goals. They are powerful instruments and ought to be used in every goal setting exercise.
Does this mean that there is a steep learning curve into the more modern versions of Excel? No, if you already know Excel effectively, you can figure out the new menus fairly quickly. However, it is different and also you must devote some time with it. The principal difference among the older Excel and the newer upgrades is your menu process. The older style menus are gone and changed with older types. I needed to hunt around for somewhat to comprehend where matters were. The fine thing though is that the mouse right-click menus are enlarged. You should devote some time together with this to be skillful with it.
However take note that initially employing those target worksheets could prove a challenge. It must take work out of the own end to place up these and to answer all the questions however the more you use them the more you will know them. In fact many folks who these worksheets on a regular basis have found they have become second character. In fact a lot of people love the practice of tracking how much they have achieved. This has resulted in their goal-setting taking a whole new significance and they're succeeding a lot more and substantially quicker. This really is among the essential benefits of adhering to a defined system. Regardless of what you want to achieve, it's advised that you simply start with some superior goal setting worksheet and follow along all through. You will be impressed at how effective only the very simple activity of answering exactly the goal setting questions is.

Street Fights and Radishes: the notebooks of Leslie Daiken
Posted on 18 December, 2019 by special-collections
Written by Xander Ryan, graduate student in the Department of English Literature at the University of Reading.
Amongst the rich holdings of the Samuel Beckett Collection archives are the notebooks of Leslie Daiken. He was born Leslie Herbert Yodaiken in 1912 to Irish-Russian parents, part of the Jewish community centred around the 'Little Jerusalem' area of Dublin. After attending Presbyterian and Methodist schools, Daiken went to Trinity College Dublin (TCD) in 1930 to study for a Modern Languages and Literature degree. Known to his university friends as 'Yod', he started publishing under the name Daiken in the mid-1930s.
The Daiken notebooks
One of the lecturers he encountered at TCD was the young Samuel Beckett. Beckett lectured in French Literature for four terms from 1930, before abruptly resigning via telegram from Germany in January 1932, safely distant from the protests of family and colleagues. The existence of Daiken's handwritten notes on Beckett's lectures led the University of Reading to acquire the notebooks – the documents provide evidence of Beckett's pronouncements on authors such as Racine and André Gide, giving new insights into this pivotal decade in his intellectual and creative development.
The aim of my placement at the University of Reading Special Collections was to catalogue Daiken's notebooks and Beckett's letters to the Daiken family. I worked with Sharon Maxwell, Cataloguing and Projects Archivist, to re-package the documents, ensuring they are conserved for future generations. Like many archives of this breadth and depth, there are corners which have been explored only by a handful of scholars. With renewed recent interest in Beckett's reading habits and intellectual networks, not to mention the forthcoming volume on 'Beckett and Pedagogy' from the Journal of Beckett Studies, it was an opportune moment to conserve the notebooks and to catalogue them in more detail.
The placement was made possible by the support of the Arts and Humanities Research Council, in the form of the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (SWW DTP) and its Student Development Fund. It has been a great opportunity to use the knowledge gained from my PhD research to create a public-facing resource, gaining experience in the libraries and archives sector and learning new professional skills. The placement helped to strengthen the link between the SWW DTP, the Beckett International Foundation and the Samuel Beckett Collection, one of the most valuable resources connected to the consortium universities and a cornerstone of Beckett studies around the world.
The thirteen notebooks are extraordinary objects, in part through their stubborn ordinariness. Nine of them are grey-coloured hardbacks, made by Hodges Figgis bookshop in Dublin, with TCD insignia stamped on the front cover. Daiken's notes range from carefully drawn geometry exercises to translations of Provençal and Gaelic poetry. Together with approximately 35 TCD past exam papers, the notebooks provide a fascinating cross-section of an undergraduate's education in the 1930s.
Alongside Daiken's academic work the notebooks contain material of a more personal nature, including Daiken's poems, his political notes, doodles [see images above and below], and even a shopping list. The political content is especially interesting given that in the mid-1930s Daiken moved to London and joined several radical left-wing networks, editing the Irish Front with Charlie Donnelly and taking part in the Republican Congress, a broad coalition of Irish republicans, socialists, and anti-fascists. Daiken's politics have recently caught scholarly attention – Katrina Goldstone's work on him includes chapters in 'Studies in Irish Radical Leadership: Lives on the Left' (2016), and 'Reimagining the Jews of Ireland: Historiography, Identity and Representation' (forthcoming in 2020).
Amongst the notebook poems is one piece about a street brawl between gangs of school-age boys in Dublin. A group of Irish-Jewish students fight a rival gang of non-Jewish youths after finishing Hebrew class for the day, the 'fists only' rule quickly disappearing as rocks and golf balls begin to fly. Daiken's creative response to his childhood memories, corroborated by Con Leventhal's account of the time, found further expression in later life when he wrote the radio play 'The Circular Road'. Broadcast on the BBC in 1960 and on RTÉ in 1962, this moving and sophisticated work focuses on a young Jewish boy whose father was shot during the Civil War. Daiken's play weaves together a cast of characters and a complex soundscape to depict the boy's experience of intermixed cultures and heritage.
Daiken married Lilyan Adams in 1944 and they settled in London, raising two daughters, Melanie and Elinor. When Beckett passed through London in August 1945, in the final month of World War Two, he gave Daiken a manuscript of his novel 'Watt' with which to approach publishers. Their friendship deepened in the late 1950s when they visited each other in London and Paris, Beckett sometimes helping the Daikens with air fares whilst they supplied him with Powers Irish Whiskey. Two years after Daiken's untimely death in 1964, his daughter Melanie moved to Paris to study music, re-establishing contact with Beckett and becoming friends with him herself. The letters from Beckett to members of the Daiken family comprise the second half of the Daiken Collection in Reading's Beckett Collection, and will be the subject of a second blog post.
The notebooks provide a wealth of information for readers interested in a range of topics, including Beckett studies, pedagogy, diasporic republicanism, international socialism, and the history of Jewish refugees in Ireland. They demonstrate the diverse curiosity of Daiken's mind, a quality no doubt important to his later friendship with his former lecturer. Inside the front cover of the tenth notebook Daiken writes a frugal shopping list, including vital items such as radishes. Decades later this found an unwitting echo in Beckett's short prose text, 'Enough'. The speaker tells us 'What do I know of man's destiny? I could tell you more about radishes. For them he had a fondness.'

Balochistan: Pakistan's Hidden Shame
By: Manish Rai
Balochistan is Pakistan's largest province in terms of area though it has a population of just around 12 million. If we put this in numbers Balochistan is approximately 44% of the country's total land mass and home to less than 5% of the country's population. It's very thinly populated and terrain is mostly barren and consists of deserts and mountains. But definitely Balochistan is not a waste land it's a goldmine for Pakistan with its vast mineral and natural resources. The province contains plentiful supplies of oil, coal, gas, gold, silver, uranium, and copper. It provides Islamabad direct access to the strategically significant Indian Ocean, with a thousand kilometres of coastline near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz from where most important shipping lanes pass through. Despite having such a vast natural wealth much of the population of the province lives below the poverty line. With limited or no access to education, jobs, electricity, roads and clean water. Barely 41% of the population is literate (the national average is 57%), unemployment rate is around 30% and just 7% have access to running water. And while Balochistan provides one-third of Pakistan's natural gas supply only a handful of towns are hooked up to the supply grid. For example, gas reserves were discovered in Sui which lies in the district of Dera Bughti in 1952, but the locals are still using wood as fuel. Other social indicators such as infant mortality rate and life expectancy are also low compared to national average.
Let's talk about Balochistan's history and how it merged with Pakistan. Following the end of British rule and the partition of India in 1947. The Khanate of Kalat, most prominent princely state that existed from 1666-1955 in the centre of modern day Pakistani Balochistan, was promised autonomy and briefly gained independence from August 1947 to March 1948. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founding father and the country's first Governor-General, proposed a merger of Kalat with the newly created Islamic republic of Pakistan. But both houses of the Baloch parliament outrightly rejected the incorporation. Then Pakistan decided to use military means to occupy this rebellious territory. So, less than a year later, Jinnah ordered the invasion of Balochistan and annexed it. The Pakistani state deposed the traditional tribal leadership and the historic Khanate of Kalat ceased to exist in the year 1955. Since then Islamabad has fought number of insurgencies in the province. Pakistani deep state has always labelled these insurgencies as handiwork of foreign intelligence agencies. But the truth is that forceful occupation and looting of vast natural resources has fuelled the call of Baloch nationalism. As a common Baloch fails to understand that why he is forced to live in abject poverty. While other provinces of Pakistan are benefitting from the natural resources of his homeland.
Now Baloch nationalism has taken a full fledge shape of a freedom struggle. Moreover, targeted killings of Baloch leaders and tribal chiefs has acted as a stimulant for separatists' movement. Especially in August 2006 killing of 79-year-old Baloch veteran leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti who was widely respected in Balochistan across all the tribes. As violence has escalated in the province because of the new wave of insurgency which aims only for freedom. Pakistan military establishment is trying to deal with it through a very heavy hand. Hence authorities have launched a new campaign of forced disappearance a decade ago in which anyone who is even remotely connected to Baloch nationalist movement is targeted. This has resulted in the disappearance of a large number of separatist activists, students, suspected militants, protest leaders, and intellectuals. Amnesty International has described this campaign as a "Kill and Dump" policy. Pakistan's notorious intelligence agency ISI, military intelligence, and the Frontier Corps (a federal paramilitary force) are running this campaign. They use the "Kill and Dump" policy as an instrument of state terror to break morale of Balochis. According to Voice of Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) an association representing family members of missing Baloch people. Over 20,000 Baloch have disappeared in the last decade. Even women, children and the elderly are not spared. Even Baloch activists are targeted overseas best example is of Rashid Baloch. His deportation was requested by Pakistan to UAE. Pakistan claimed he is wanted in connection with charges of terrorism. UAE in June, 2019 handed over Rashid Baloch to Pakistan. But since then there are no whereabouts of Rashid no one in Pakistani establishment is able to explain that what happened to Rashid Baloch. Even his family don't know that weather Rashid was produced in court of law, rotting in a torture cell or has been killed and dumped.
But despite of this terror campaign of mighty Pakistan army. This struggle seems to have spread deeper into Baloch society than ever before. Anti-Pakistani sentiments has gripped the entire province. Baloch school children refuse to sing the national anthem or fly its flag, women, traditionally confined to home have joined the struggle. Universities have become hotbeds of nationalist sentiment. International community and institutions like- United Nation can't be mute spectators of this brutality in which whole race is being targeted by the state. Baloch groups are knocking the doors of UN for long recently they set up a pavilion outside the UN Office of Geneva adjacent to iconic broken chair named as Save the Baloch. But still their voices are not being heard. The global community has to understand that the Baloch struggle for independence differs significantly from other conflicts in the greater Middle East, which are defined by religious intolerance and sectarian divisions. The Baloch are certainly not religious extremists. In fact, they are some of the most secular people in the region. At the heart of their struggle is the demand for national self-determination, not the desire to impose a rule of one religious sect. Hence it becomes a moral duty of civilized world to lend their support to Baloch people.

ملي امنیت: د داعش ډلې سویلي اسیا څانګې مشر مو نیولی
د افغانستان د ملي امنیت اداره وايي، ځانګړو ځواکونو یې د سویلي آسیا لپاره د داعش ډلې مشر ضیاالحق چې په شېخ ابو عمر الخراساني مشهور دی، نیولی دی. د ملي امنیت خبرپاڼه کې راغلي چې ځانګړو ځواکونو او د پولیسو ځانګړې قطعې په ګډه دا عملیات ترسره کړي دي.
یادې ادارې د دې عملیاتو په اړه ډېر څه نه دي ویلي او دا هم تائيد شوې نه ده چې چېرې ترسره شوي، خو یوې معتبرې سرچینې ویلي، دا عملیات په مرکزي زون کې ترسره شوي دي.
د ملي امنیت خبرپاڼه زیاتوي، دا عملیات د هغو ۴ داعش وسلوالو د اعتراف پر بنسټ ترسره شوي چې د ملي امنیت له لوري پخوا نیول شوي وو.
په دې عملیاتو کې د سویلي اسیا لپاره د داعش ډلې د عامه اړیکو رییس او د استخباراتو مسؤل ابوعلي هم نیول شوی دی.
یوې امنیتې سرچینې بي بي سي ته ویلي، د داعش دا ټول نیول شوي غړي افغانان دي.د تېرې اپرېل میاشتې په پیل کې د افغانستان ملي امنيت اعلان وکړ چې د داعش ډلې د خراسان څانګې مشر عبدالله اورکزی چې په اسلم فاروقي مشهور دی، یې هم نيولی دی.
ملي امنيت هغه مهال ویلي وو چې عبدالله اورکزی له ۱۹ تنو ملګرو سره يو ځای د ځانګړو ځواکونو له خوا نيول شوی، خو د نيول کېدو د ځای په اړه يې جزئیات نه وو ورکړي.
د خبرپاڼې له مخې اسلم فاروقي د خيبرپښتونخوا د اورکزيو سيمې اوسېدونکی دی چې د دغه ډلې د خراسان برخې مشري يې پر غاړه لرله.
د اسلامي دولت نومې ډلې (داعش) د خراسان څانګې په کابل کې د وروستيو څو خونړيو بریدونو مسووليت منلی و.
د دغې ډلې وروستي بريد کې چې دوی يې پړه پر غاړه اخيستې وه يوه ځانمرګي بريدګر د سيکانو عبادت ځای کې چاودنه کړې وه او لږ ترلږه ۲۶ تنه یې په کې وژلي او ۸ نور ټپيان کړي وو.

Taliban, the free Pakistani army in Afghanistan to meet US Afghan envoy in Qatar
Zalmay Khalilzad will press Taliban, India and Pakistan to support a reduction in violence amid surging Taliban attacks.
The US special envoy to Afghanistan is on a mission to press Taliban negotiators in Doha and officials in India and Pakistan to support a reduction in violence, acceleration of intra-Afghan peace talks and cooperation on handling the coronavirus pandemic, the US Department of State said on Wednesday.
Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad's trip comes amid concerns that surging Taliban attacks and the coronavirus pandemic could deal potentially fatal blows to his stalled efforts to end decades of strife in Afghanistan.
At each stop, Khalilzad "will urge support for an immediate reduction in violence, accelerated timeline for the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, and cooperation among all sides in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic in Afghanistan," the State Department said.
The statement did not disclose the exact schedule of Khalilzad's trip, which began on Tuesday.
It is the second trip he has made since April 12 in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic to salvage a February 29 accord that he and the Taliban's second in command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, signed for a phased withdrawal of US troops from the US's longest war.
A successful initiative could help US President Donald Trump as he seeks re-election in November.
Khalilzad, the State Department said, would press Taliban officials "for full implementation" of the February 29 agreement.
In New Delhi, a key supporter of the Afghan government, Khalilzad will discuss India's role in sustaining peace, and he will hold talks on the peace process in Islamabad, according to the State Department.
Pakistan has provided sanctuary and other support to the Taliban for decades as part of a strategy to blunt the influence in Kabul of India, Islamabad's longtime foe, according to US officials. Pakistan denies backing the armed groups.
The US-Taliban deal called for the Taliban to release up to 1,000 government prisoners and Kabul to free up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners before peace talks that were to begin on March 10.
But a dispute over the pace and scale of the releases between the armed group and the government of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, which was not a party to the deal, delayed the talks.
The negotiations also have been stalled by a feud between Ghani and his rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who both claimed victory in a disputed September election, and by escalating Taliban attacks.
The Taliban have mounted more than 4,500 attacks since signing the February 29 deal, according to data seen by Reuters. The provinces hardest hit are also the ones that have the most cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
The armed group blames Kabul and the US for the surge in violence.

International Federation For Human Rights requests your urgent intervention in Arif Wazirs death
PAK 002 / 0420 / OBS 048
Killing / Attack
Judicial harassment /
The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a partnership of FIDH and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Pakistan.
Description of the situation:
The Observatory has been informed by reliable sources about the killing of Mr. Arif Wazir, a leader of the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) [1] in Pakistan, near the border with Afghanistan.
According to the information received, on May 1, 2020, Mr. Arif Wazir was attacked by unidentified armed men while he was travelling in a car near his house in Ghwakhwa village in Wanna, the largest city of South Waziristan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. He was hit by three bullets and was subsequently transported to a local hospital before being transferred to Dera Ismail Khan, and then to Islamabad's Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). Mr. Arif Wazir died of his injuries at PIMS on May 2, 2020.
A First information report (FIR) was lodged against "unknown people" on May 1, 2020, by police in Wanna.
On April 17, 2020, Mr. Arif Wazir had been arrested by police in Wanna for alleged "anti-Pakistan speech" that he would have made during a visit to Afghanistan the previous month. During his speech in Afghanistan, Mr. Wazir spoke about the impact of war on the lives of Pashtuns in Pakistan and Afghanistan and the need for unity among Pashtuns. The Observatory notes that the accusation of "anti-Pakistan speech" is an expedient label used by Pakistani authorities to target human rights defenders, particularly those associated with the PTM.
On April 27, 2020, four days before he was fatally attacked, the Tank District Court, South Waziristan, had released Mr. Arif Wazir on bail.
The Observatory recalls that Mr. Arif Wazir Wazir, as a PTM leader, was detained six times and intermittently spent more than 13 months in detention. In the past years, PTM members have been regularly targeted by police, which have filed cases against them on charges of committing sedition through their speeches. In 2019, the Observatory reported the following attacks against PTM members and their relatives: the killing of Mr. Ibrahim Arman Loni [2], a PTM core committee member in Balochistan Province; the arbitrary detention of 18 PTM members, including Pashtun and women's rights defender Ms. Gulalai Ismail; [3] the judicial harassment of Ms. Gulalai Ismail's family members [4]; the arbitrary arrest and judicial harassment of Mr. Mohsin Dawar and Mr. Ali Wazir, both elected Members of the National Assembly and affiliated with the PTM; and the arbitrary arrest of Mr. Alamgir Wazir, a PTM supporter in Lahore. In January 2020, the leader of PTM, Mr. Manzoor Pashteen was arrested along with 23 other human rights defenders, including PTM members and supporters who were protesting against his arrest, before being released on February 15, 2020. [5]
The Observatory firmly condemns the killing of Mr. Arif Wazir and calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately carry out a transparent, impartial, and thorough investigation into his killing in order to identify all those responsible, bring them before an independent tribunal, and punish them as provided by the law.
Actions requested:

Afghanistan Investigating Claims Migrants Were Killed by Iranian Guards
Viewer discretion is advised
About 50 Afghan migrants crossing into Iran illegally were beaten and thrown into a river, local news media, and witnesses say. As many as half did not survive, they said.
KABUL, Afghanistan — The foreign ministry of Afghanistan on Saturday said it was investigating claims that dozens of Afghan migrants detained in Iran were tortured by that country's border guards and thrown into a river, where many of them drowned.
Afghan news media reported that about 50 migrants being illegally smuggled into Iran — a frequent destination for Afghans escaping the war to seek work — were caught by Iranian border guards, beaten and thrown into a river that flows between the two countries.
Those reports included grainy cellphone footage showing a half-dozen corpses. Details were conflicting, but several reports suggested that as many as half the men had drowned or were unaccounted for.
"They kept hitting us with pipes and saying, 'Don't come back to our country,' and kept pushing us into the river," one of the survivors, Abdul Wahed, 20, said in a phone interview.
Mohammed Hanif Atmar, Afghanistan's acting foreign minister, has assigned a delegation to look into the reports, the foreign ministry's statement said.
Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan rejected the claims based on the initial information, but promised to investigate further, Iran's Fars news agency reported.
Afghanistan shares more than 500 miles of border with Iran. About three million Afghans — a mix of refugees and illegal migrants — live in Iran, a large number of them having arrived after their country plunged into conflict in the 1980s.
Young Afghans constantly flow across the border to seek work, many of them smuggled through dangerous deserts, often traveling for a week at a time packed into the back of pick-up trucks.
In recent months, as the coronavirus gutted Iran's economy, the flow was reversed. Between January and April, about 240,000 Afghans had returned from Iran.
But Iran has started slowly reopening its economy, and Afghanistan remains in deep poverty. An estimated 80 percent of the Afghan population lives on $1.25 a day, a flimsy margin above the poverty line of $1. So the migration to Iran has started anew.
Mr. Wahed, the survivor, said a group of 50 young men — including eight from his home district of Rabat e Sangi in the western Afghan province of Herat — were set upon by Iranian guards after entering Iran late last week. They were detained and beaten repeatedly by the guards, some of whom said, "We have no sleep because of you."
"They put us face down and stomped on us and kicked us and kept asking, 'Why are you coming to our country?'" Mr. Wahed said. "And we kept saying, 'We are only coming to your country because of our own misery.'"
The men were packed into a bus and brought to the banks of the Harirod river late on Friday afternoon, Mr. Wahed said when they were forced into the water. He said he saw only 12 men come out alive, and he helped retrieve the bodies of seven others, including those of five people who had traveled with him from his district.
"The water brought me downstream, where I clung to a tree and then Baluch swimmers came to my rescue," Mr. Wahed said, referring to a local ethnic group. "I think 30 are still missing — I don't know where they are, probably they died."

Pakistan intelligence kills Pashtun leaders via "good Taliban"
Arif Wazir, who died at the hands of terrorists, was one of the prominent leaders of the Pashtun resistance in Pakistan / Photo from Ali Wazir's Twitter account.
Islamabad is trying to prevent its opponents from quarantine
In Pakistan, one of the leaders of the Pashtun national movement Arif Wazir was killed. His comrades-in-arms do not doubt that the Pakistani secret services and the Taliban militants associated with this crime (the organization is banned in the Russian Federation) are behind this crime. Pashtun politicians accuse Islamabad of supporting the practice of political killings and state terrorism.
Arif Wazir, 35, one of the leaders of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), a social, political, national and human rights movement of Pakistani Pashtuns, died in a medical clinic in Islamabad yesterday. On the evening of May 1, in the city of Van (the administrative center of the South Waziristan district of the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), while walking after Iftar (an evening meal at Ramadan), Arif Wazir was seriously injured by unknown criminals.
"Arif Wazir and his relative left the house on the street, where armed terrorists were waiting for him in a dark-parked car," an informed source close to the Tahafuz movement told NG. - The militants opened fire from a Kalashnikov assault rifle, as a result of which Arif Wazir received three serious injuries - in the neck, shoulder and head. The criminals fled, Arif Wazir was taken to the city hospital "Dera Ismail Khan". The condition of the Pashtun politician was so difficult that he had to be urgently transported to a clinic in Islamabad. Arif Wazir lost a lot of blood, a brain injury was seriously injured as a result of a bullet wound, he died on May 2 in an Islamabad hospital during an operation. "
Arif Wazir was a relative of another leader of the Pashtun Tahafuz movement, a well-known politician, deputy of the Pakistani parliament Ali Wazir. "This is a very famous Pashtun family, many of its members were activists of the national movement and suffered for this," a source in Peshawar related to PTM said in an interview with NG. "Arif's father and brother were killed by terrorists last year." Then the criminals, like this time, managed to escape, the authorities did not bother too much with their searches. Because it is obvious - the Pakistani special services are the customers of the murders of Arif, his father and brother, and the perpetrators are the so-called "good Taliban," that is, militants controlled by Pakistani intelligence. "
Arif Wazir's death caused widespread outrage among the Pashtun political and social leaders. The leaders of the reputable Pashtun National People's Party Avami, which is closely associated with the Pashtun Tahafuz movement, condemned the political assassination: several functionaries of the Avami party have also recently been the victims of attacks by the "good Taliban" terrorists.
According to Sardar Hussein Babak, general secretary of the Avami party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, contract killings have long been carried out by "good Taliban" in Waziristan, Mardan, Buner, Swat, Dir and other Pashtun areas of Pakistan: "Last month they one of the regional leaders of the Avami party was killed. Unfortunately, the state knows about this, but does nothing to stop the crimes. " "There is a big game on the lands of Pashtuns," Sardar Hussein Babak emphasized. - Everywhere there are active cells (militants) that carry out contract killings, and the state does not stop it, it does not interfere with terrorists. The state is not interested in peace in this region. And this proves that the state supports such actions. "
One of the leaders of the Pashtun Tahafuz movement, a deputy of the Pakistani national assembly (parliament) Mohsin Javid Davar, commenting on the attempt on his ally, wrote on Twitter that "Arif Wazir was killed by the state and the" good Taliban "and promised to fight against the" masters of terrorists " - Pakistan state machine.
The famous Pashtun politician, public figure and scientist Dr. Afrasiab Khattak called the murder of Arif Wazir "a crime against the Pashtuns in Pakistan", which "is part of a project that is directed against the Pashtuns / Afghans on both sides of the Durand line (Afghan-Pakistani border -" NG "). "The Pashtuns will not silence terror," says Dr. Afrasiab Hattak.
"State-sponsored terrorists killed yet another brave son of the Pashtun homeland who opposed the politics of terrorism and extremism on the part of the Pakistani state," commented the famous Pashtun politician and public figure, one of the Pashtun Tahafuz movement leaders, Sana Ijaz. "A policy based on terrorism never ends." The murder of Arif Wazir shows that the state is again in the mode of playing its deadly chess in the homeland of the Pashtuns. We see the next phase of bloodshed and death of our people. "
According to Sana Ijaz, it is no coincidence that the murder of Arif Wazir was organized during the coronavirus epidemic, when the attention of the whole world was diverted to threats from COVID-19, and in Pakistan there was a ban on mass political actions: "The assassination of Arif Wazir happened at that a time when the world was faced with a pandemic so that it could not see how the Pakistani state and the terrorist fighters sponsored by it kill peaceful Pashtun political activists ... The world does not see how their terrorism devours us all. "
"We Pashtuns condemn this barbaric crime," Muhammad Navid, director of the Pushtun cultural and business center of Pashtun, said in an interview with NG, commenting on the murder of Arif Wazir. - Those responsible for this tragedy must be found and punished. What is happening is nothing but the genocide of the Pashtuns. We want peace and justice in our land. " According to Muhammad Navid, Pakistan regularly kills and kidnaps Pashtuns: "This state of affairs cannot go on. It is necessary that people on the lands of Pashtun begin to feel safe, that jobs appear, human rights begin to be respected, conditions for the development of the Pashtun language and culture are created. "
Political experts familiar with the situation believe that the murder of Arif Wazir is a multi-way combination, the purpose of which is to split and provoke a conflict within the leadership of the Pashtun Tahafuz movement. "This movement has existed for about two years and continues to gain popularity, especially among young Pashtuns," one observer noted in an interview with NG. - PTM shares are gathering hundreds of thousands of people, they are becoming more powerful, cause growing interest, strengthen solidarity between the Pashtuns living in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is alarming among official Islamabad and the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies. The coronavirus pandemic reduced PTM activity for several months, as it became impossible to conduct massive street political events due to quarantine.But the threat of COVID-19 will sooner or later pass and then the Pashtun Tahafuz protest political potential will spill onto the streets of Pakistani cities, dragging other ethnic and social groups of Pakistani society, dissatisfied with the state of affairs in the country. The assassination of Arif Wazir and other terrorist acts against PTM leaders and activists today is an attempt to prevent the Pashtun national movement from rapidly entering the political scene in the post-coronavirus period. "The assassination of Arif Wazir and other terrorist acts against PTM leaders and activists today is an attempt to prevent the Pashtun national movement from rapidly entering the political scene in the post-coronavirus period. "The assassination of Arif Wazir and other terrorist acts against PTM leaders and activists today is an attempt to prevent the Pashtun national movement from rapidly entering the political scene in the post-coronavirus period. "
In this regard, it is worth recalling that the Pashtun Tahafuz movement participated in the big Pashtun Loya Jirga (a meeting of political, tribal and religious leaders) in early 2020. Then it was decided to combine various political parties and Pashtun organizations to counter the state policy of genocide and terror. The second jirga was supposed to take place in March, however, it had to be postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and quarantine measures. "The postponement of the new jirga does not mean its cancellation," a source familiar with the situation said in an interview with NG. - The new meeting of the Pashtun leaders will still take place in a few months, and a general strategy of political actions will be developed at it. Obviously, the Pakistani military-political establishment is most afraid of this today.Therefore, acts of political terror against leaders of the Pashtun national movement, as well as attempts to split it, became more frequent. "
It is noteworthy that media activists associated with official Islamabad, Pakistani intelligence and the Taliban tried to give several of their very conflicting interpretations of the reasons for the murder of Arif Wazir. Thus, representatives of the team of the governor of the Pakistani province of Punjab hastened to declare that the assassination attempt on one of the leaders of Pashtun Tahafuz was allegedly organized by Afghan intelligence. The absurdity of this assumption is obvious - the Afghan government actively advocates for the rights and interests of Pashtuns living in Pakistani territory, encouraging the desire of Pashtun politicians to join forces. By the way, according to another PTM leader Manzur Pashtun, "today in Punjab there are real celebrations on the occasion of the tragic death of Arif Wazir," and these celebrations are unlikely to be organized without the participation of the local administration.
Taliban media activist Ahmad Fayez tried on Twitter to accuse Arif Wazir of his relative, Ali Wazir, of relatives, alluding to the alleged "illegal relationship" between the killed Pashtun leader and Ali Wazir's wife, Saira Nawab. Competent sources of NG note that it was this version of the "family conflict" that Pakistani intelligence officers authorized for distribution on social networks and the media: "The purpose of this dirty interpretation is obvious - playing on strict ethical standards of Pashtun public opinion, provoke conflicts in the surroundings of Ali Wazir "discredit himself and his family, ultimately, weaken the leadership of PTM."
The blogger Shahzeb Khan, judging by his posts on social networks, actively popularizing the actions of the Pakistani military-political establishment, did try to divert the search for customers of the murder of Arif Wazir into the sphere of tribal conflict between the Wazir and Dotani tribes, actively denying the involvement of the Taliban in the crime.
However, the orchestra of Pakistani intelligence bloggers, commenting on the social networks the murder of Arif Wazir, gave out not only fake notes these days. So, a certain Bakhtavar Shah, calling himself a "Pakistani patriot", at the same time as the attempt on the leader of the "Pashtun Tahafuz", reported the assassination of Sajid Hussein Baloch, an immigrant from Pakistan, killed by unknown persons in Sweden. "This shard was a fugitive who sat in Sweden and lied against Pakistan. In Sweden, the "missing person" was found dead, "Bakhtavar Shah happily told his readers, adding that" the process of sending enemies on a pilgrimage is in full swing ":" Wherever you go, you will find death! ".
The Pakistani secret services, at the hands of Taliban militants and other terrorist organizations, seem to have stepped up their struggle with political opponents of Islamabad today. The murder of Arif Wazir may well be not the last. According to NG experts who are familiar with the situation, a real threat to life exists for leaders and activists of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement, the Avami party and other Pashtun political associations. Recall that in August 2019, NG wrote about the preparation of the killings of Pashtun politicians by the Taliban . Judging by the May Day tragedy in the city of Wana, this forecast, unfortunately, comes true.

Journalisten Sajid Hussain död – hittades utanför Uppsala - Pakistans ISI bakom mordet
Det har nu visat sig att den döde journalisten Sajid Hussain som var en frihetskämpe för Baluchistan självstyre. Han rapporterade aktivt om ISI's (Pakistans säkerhetstjänst) övergrepp på befolkningen i Baluchistan.
Aftonbladet skriver idag i en artikel att man nu hittat kroppen och att Sajid Hussain hade mycket att se framemot då han väntade att få hem sin familj från Pakistan. Frågan är nu hur Sverige och SÄPO kommer nu att agera för att kräva förklaring från ISI?
The Local skriver följande:
Because his articles crossed the line of what Pakistan's military deems acceptable, it could not be ruled out that the Pakistani intelligence services had been involved, said RSF. The Balochistan Times has reported on human rights abuses as well as some of the active rebel groups in Balochistan. There have been previous cases where exiled Pakistani journalists residing in Europe have been harassed and threatened over their reporting.In February, blogger Ahmad Waqass Goraya was attacked and threatened outside his Rotterdam home by two men speaking Urdu. RSF said that according to confidential information it had obtained, Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, keeps a list of exiled reporters. Hussain is a well-known journalist in Balochistan and his work has largely focused on drug trafficking, forced disappearances and the Balochistan insurgency.Hussain originally left Pakistan for Oman and then moved to Sweden in 2017, where according to police he received asylum in 2019.

Acts of Desperation
Army with terrorist leader.
The government of Pakistan with its military junta thought that by imprisoning the leadership of the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement, they are going to crush the movement and undermine the Pashtuns basic rights of living and existence, human rights, stability, and progress.
In its desperate action Pakistan imprisoned two prominent members of PTM, Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar, who were also members of Parliament in Pakistan National Assembly. Baseless charges of terrorism were brought against them. The facts showed to the world that the Pakistani military committed acts of terrorism against a peaceful gathering in Khar Kamar(خړ کمر).
The imprisonment of Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar gave more strength to the movement. After a short period of reorganization and reconsideration of policies, PTM launches peaceful meetings and gatherings and demanded the release of Ali Wazir, Mohsin Dawar and other PTM members. This strength and support was not local. The Afghans/Pashtuns throughout the world were united in PTM's voice and demands.
After many months of torture and atrocities, the Pakistani government and military junta had no choice but to release them, because all allegations were baseless and the Pakistani torture machinery was not able to force Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar to admit to something they no association with.
Now the Pakistani government and military junta show another act of desperation. It has imprisoned the leader of PTM. Manzoor Pashteen is not only a leader of PTM, but a leader of the Pashtuns around the world. Manzoor Pashteen has announced that on 2 February 2020 all Afghans/Pashtuns around the world will remember the killing of Professor Arman Loni. On this day Professor Loni was killed by Pakistani police, while he was he was sitting with his friends. The Pakistani government is afraid that the remembrance of Professor Arman Loni will show once again the real face of Pakistani government and armed forces.
Freshly brainwashed terrorist trained by Pakistan army
The Pakistani government and military junta think, by imprisoning Manzoor Pashteen, the are going to either break Manzoor Pashteen or weaken the movement. History has proven the opposite. Every time the Pakistani government has imprisoned Pacha Khan, he became stronger and more determined and the Khudaee Khedamtgar Movement gained more strengths.
Now the same will happen again. Manzoor Pashteen will become stronger and the movement will gain more strength. We live in 2020, not in 1940s and 1950s. Our voices cannot be silenced in jails. They were not even silenced then. Our time is not up. Our time has just started. How many of us will you imprison? How many of us will you kill? How many of us will you torture? How many of us will you make disappear? It is time that your atrocities and injustice should come to an end. We will show your true face, you acts of terrorism, and your acts of atrocities and genocide to the world. Your time is up.

Sun Catcher by Teresa Van Dongen
Concept for an organically constructed solar panel that, after charging in your window, turns into a light shade.
Concept for an organically constructed solar panel that, after charging in your window, turns into a light shade. The light shade is the source of power for the lamp itself, resulting in an energy neutral lamp that can be used anywhere.
A papaya enzyme (papain) has been discovered useful in
the production of environmentally friendly solar panels. The enzyme reduces the power needed to produce titaniumdioxide (TiO2), the conductive material that harvests energy from the sun when used in association with organic dyes inside the panel. Producing TiO2 is currently an energy consuming process, that involves heating at 700C for severalhours, a procedure that can only be done in specialized facilities. Professor Duncan McMillan from Delft University of Technology discovered that this process can be done at 250C in two hours by using a common fruit enzyme called papain during the oxidation process.

artificial intelligence (AI) Science concerned with developing computers and computer programs that model human intelligence. The most typical form of AI involves programming a computer to answer questions on a specialized topic. Such 'professional systems' are said to show the human skill to perform skilled analytical duties. A similar system in a phrase processor could spotlight incorrect spellings, and be 'taught' new words. A closely related science, sometimes known as 'synthetic life', is concerned with extra low-stage intelligence. For example, a robot could also be programmed to seek out its means round a maze, displaying the fundamental means to physically work together with its surroundings.

Q: Python Infinite Integers Python 3 integers have unlimited precision. In practice, this is limited by a computer's memory.
Consider the followng code:
i = 12345
while True:
    i = i * 123

This will obviously fail. But what will be the result of this? The entire RAM (and the page file) filled with this one integer (except for the space occupied by other processes)?
Or is there a safeguard to catch this before it gets that far?

A: You could check what happens without risking to fill all available memory. You could set the memory limit explicitly:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import contextlib
import resource

@contextlib.contextmanager
def limit(limit, type=resource.RLIMIT_AS):
    soft_limit, hard_limit = resource.getrlimit(type)
    resource.setrlimit(type, (limit, hard_limit)) # set soft limit
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        resource.setrlimit(type, (soft_limit, hard_limit)) # restore

with limit(100 * (1 << 20)): # 100MiB
    # do the thing that might try to consume all memory
    i = 1
    while True:
        i <<= 1

This code consumes 100% CPU (on a single core) and the consumed memory grows very very slowly.
In principle, you should get MemoryError at some point whether it happens before your computer turns to dust is unclear. CPython uses a continuous block of memory to store the digits and therefore you may get the error even if there is RAM available but fragmented.
Your specific code shouldn't trigger it but in general you could also get OverflowError if you try to construct an integer larger than sys.maxsize bytes.


Later this month MTV premieres a new US prank show Bugging Out.
Hosted by 'YouTube personality and prankster' Rob Anderson and stand-up comedian Traci Stumpf.
The show tampers with everyday tech devices such as smart phones, apps, fitness trackers, car GPS systems, ATMs and more while hidden cameras watch on.
"Get excited MTV fans! Bugging Out is a prank show with an awesome digital twist. We all know how much we rely on technology these days, so we're messing with literally anything tech-related. How far will we go? Pretty far, actually!" said Rob Anderson.
"I love technology and pranks…and it turns out I love pranking people with technology even more!!" said Traci Stumpf.
Nowadays we use a lot of devices which make our lives easier, but imagine what would happen if those devices turned against us! Bugging Out tricks people into thinking their technology has malfunctioned, with ATMs spitting out the entire contents of its users bank account, pet owners tricked into thinking a special collar will allow them to communicate with their dog and mobile phone apps that claim to control street lights. Bugging Out will have viewers laughing in their seats as unsuspecting people react in shock as their technology goes completely rouge.
Thursday, 28th April at 10.30pm on MTV.

Emery introduced Mesut Ozil at half-time in an attempt to improve Arsenal's final ball with so much space to counter-attack into, but to little avail.
Arsenal's terrible away record is why they face such a tight battle to secure Champions League football next season.
Gray was then denied by a last-ditch challenge from Ainsley Maitland-Niles after rounding Leno, but without the firepower of Deulofeu and Deeney, Watford's brave effort fell just short.

Q: how to run useEffect only twice Here is My useEffect is going in Infinite loop, becouse checkimage value is changing becouse the value is assigned in fetch(), so anyone know how to solve it. I want to get varient data with image but I can't get it in first time.
help me if you can
Thank You

    }
    setVarients(varients_array);
    console.info('varients_array ====>>', {varients_array})
  };

I think that if I stop to run blow code getImage function then I can get my result
am I right?
But I tried It too but is also not happening properly.

A: a quick and dirty fix could be to work with a counter.
and only run the fetch in the useEffect, when counter is 0.
have you tried that?


csc309 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
We need a simple logo for a well established law firm looking for a fresher look.
The logo will be the company logo on letterhead, envelopes, signs, ads, etc. Therefor it must be simple, clean and fax well. We are a Las Vegas based law firm since 1959. you can check out our current logo and site at http://www.injuryhelpnow.com. Its old and we need something new. We just want "Christensen Law" in the logo, nothing else.
- 1. the words "Christensen Law"
- 2. The silhouette of a mountain range. Any prominent range will do but preferably the Tetons or the Red Rock cliffs in Las Vegas. These have to do the the concept that the principle has for the firm. In a nut shell each individual attorney is a peak but together they are a range. Please try to get this to work and look good. we are out of ideas. If you cant get it to work you can submit other designs as well because we are running out of options.
- 3. It is a law firm so the color scheme should be a little reserved / professional looking.
