As mass shootings are again drawing public attention, states across the U.S. seem to be deepening their political divide on gun policies. A series of recent mass shootings in California come after a third straight year in which U.S. states recorded more than 600 mass shootings involving at least four deaths or injuries. Democratic-led states that already have restrictive gun laws have responded to home-state tragedies by enacting or proposing even more limits on guns. Many states with Republican-led legislatures appear unlikely to adopt any new gun policies after last year's local mass shootings. They're pinning the problem on violent individuals, not their weapons.
The families of five passengers killed in a plane crash off the North Carolina coast have settled wrongful death lawsuits for $15 million. Their attorneys told the court the companies that owned the plane and employed the pilot paid the money. The suits claimed the pilot failed to properly fly the single-engine plane in weather conditions with limited visibility. All eight people aboard died off the Outer Banks. The passengers included four teenagers and two adults, returning from a hunting trip. The founder of the company that owned the plane was killed, and his family wasn't involved in the lawsuits.
Man who claimed he had bomb near Capitol pleads guilty
A man who caused evacuations and an hourslong standoff with police on Capitol Hill when he claimed he had a bomb in his pickup truck outside the Library of Congress has pleaded guilty to a charge of threatening to use an explosive. Floyd Ray Roseberry, of Grover, North Carolina, pleaded guilty to the felony charge in Washington federal court. He faces up to 10 years behind bars and is scheduled to be sentenced in June. An email seeking comment was sent to his attorney on Friday. Roseberry drove a black pickup truck onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress in August 2021 and began shouting to people in the street that he had a bomb.
NC Democrats pitch abortion safeguards despite GOP majority
North Carolina Democrats have introduced legislation to codify abortion protections into state law as Republicans are discussing early prospects for further restrictions. Their legislation, filed Wednesday in both chambers, would prohibit the state from imposing barriers that might restrict a patient's ability to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability, which typically falls between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Current state law bans nearly all abortions after 20 weeks, with narrow exceptions for urgent medical emergencies that do not include rape or incest. House Speaker Tim Moore told reporters he didn't expect the Democrats' bill to get considered.
Supporters of abortion rights have filed separate lawsuits challenging abortion pill restrictions in North Carolina and West Virginia. The lawsuits were filed Wednesday. They are the opening salvo in what's expected to a be a protracted legal battle over access to the medications. The lawsuits argue that state limits on the drugs run afoul of the federal authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The agency has approved the abortion pill as a safe and effective method for ending pregnancy. More than half of U.S. abortions are now done with pills rather than surgery.
EXPLAINER: University of Wisconsin latest to ban TikTok
The University of Wisconsin System has joined a number of universities across the country in banning the popular social media app TikTok on school devicies. UW System officials made the announcement Tuesday. A number of other universities have banned TikTok in recent weeks, including Auburn, Arkansas State and Oklahoma. Nearly half the states have banned the app on state-owned devices, including Wisconsin, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and South Dakota. Congress also recently banned TikTok from most U.S. government-issued devices over bipartisan concerns about security. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company that moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2020. Critics say the Chinese government could access user data.
State auditor: I made 'serious mistake' leaving accident
North Carolina's elected state auditor has apologized for leaving the scene of a Raleigh accident last month after she drove her state-issued vehicle into a parked car. Monday's statement by Democratic Auditor Beth Wood is her first comment about charges against her that were made public last week. Wood called her decision "a serious mistake" and says she will continue serving as auditor. Wood was first elected to the job in 2008. Raleigh police cited Wood for a misdemeanor hit-and-run and another traffic-related charge. Her court date is later this week. Wood says the collision happened after she left a holiday gathering Dec. 8.
EPA considers tougher regulation of livestock farm pollution
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it will study whether to toughen regulation of large livestock farms that pollute waterways. The agency hasn't revised its rules dealing with the nation's largest hog, poultry and cattle operations since 2008. Farm manure and fertilizer runoff fouls lakes and streams. It's a leading cause of harmful algae blooms. EPA says it reconsidered its intention to leave existing rules in place after an environmental group filed a lawsuit. The agency says it will gather information on how bad the pollution is and what new methods might bring improvements.
National & World AP Stories
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has fired the chairman of the governing Conservative Party for a "serious breach" of ethics rules in failing to come clean about a tax dispute. Sunak had faced growing pressure to sack Nadhim Zahawi amid allegations he settled a multimillion-dollar unpaid tax bill while he was in charge of the country's Treasury. The prime minister acted after a standards probe found Zahawi had breached the ministerial code of conduct. It said he had failed to disclose details of his dispute with tax authorities and the fact he had paid a penalty. The case is a test for Sunak, who has vowed to restore order and integrity to government after three years of turmoil.
Israeli police have sealed up the east Jerusalem home of a Palestinian attacker who killed seven people and wounded three outside a synagogue. It was one of several punitive measures approved by Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet overnight. The move came following a deadly weekend in which seven Israelis were killed and five others wounded in two separate shootings in Jerusalem, in one of the bloodiest months in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem in several years. The measures threatened to further raise tensions and cast a cloud over a visit next week by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The shootings followed a deadly Israeli raid in the West Bank on Thursday that killed nine Palestinians, most of them militants.
It has been over 11 weeks since Ukrainian forces wrested back part of Kherson province from Russian occupation. But liberation hasn't diminished the hardship for residents, both those returning home and the ones who never left. In the peak of winter, the rural village not far from an active front line has no power or water. The sounds of war are never far. Still, residents have slowly trickled back to Kalynivske, preferring to live without basic services, dependent on humanitarian aid and under the constant threat of bombardment than as displaced people elsewhere in their country. They say staying is an act of defiance against the relentless Russian attacks intended to make the area unlivable.
Israel to 'strengthen' settlements after shooting attacks
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a series of punitive steps against the Palestinians, including plans to beef up Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, in response to a pair of shooting attacks that killed seven Israelis and wounded five others. The announcement cast a cloud over a visit next week by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and threatened to further raise tensions following one of the bloodiest months in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in several years. Netanyahu's Security Cabinet approved the measures in the wake of a pair of shootings, including an attack outside a synagogue in which seven people were killed.
The Memphis police chief has disbanded the city's so-called Scorpion unit after some of its officers beat Black motorist Tyre Nichols to death. The chief on Saturday cited a "cloud of dishonor" from newly released video of the fatal encounter. Police Director Cerelyn "CJ" Davis acted a day after the harrowing video emerged. She said she listened to Nichols' relatives, community leaders and uninvolved officers in making the decision. The nation and the city are struggling to come to grips with the violence by the officers, who are also Black. The video renewed doubts about why fatal encounters with law enforcement keep happening despite repeated calls for change.
Damar Hamlin released a video Saturday in which he says he's thankful for the outpouring of support and vows to pay it back, marking the first time the Buffalo Bills safety has spoken publicly since he went into cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati on Jan. 2. Hamlin said now was "the right time" to speak after the Bills' season ended and because he needed time to recover and gather his thoughts. The 5 1/2-minute video was posted on Hamlin's social media accounts.
The 67 minutes of body camera and surveillance footage released in the death of a Memphis man at the hands of police give a glimpse of a harrowing night that oscillates between brutality and nonchalance. After capturing horrific images of Tyre Nichols being punched, kicked, shocked, pepper-sprayed and dragged by officers, he is left bloodied in the street, unattended to, as officers chit-chat, complain, laugh and even exchange a fist-bump and back pat. The video's release has spurred protests around the country. Nichols, who was Black, is to be laid to rest at a funeral on Wednesday. Five officers, also Black, have been arrested and charged with murder.
Authorities say three people were killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a multi-million dollar short-term rental home in Los Angeles early Saturday. The shooting happened just after 2:30 a.m. in the upscale Beverly Crest neighborhood. Los Angeles police say the three who were killed were in a vehicle. Police Sgt. Bruce Borihahn says investigators don't have any information on suspects in the shootings. Two people who were shot were taken to the hospital in private vehicles and two were transported by ambulance. Borihahn says two victims are in stable condition and two are listed as critical. This is at least the sixth mass shooting in California this month.

Or: "An advice of the present me to the me two years ago"
I've mentioned that I studied positional play from books for about two years. Most of the books i've read quickly become a manual of positional "rules". I could remember it like yesterday, "you must not take the knight because the center will become weak", "you should place the knights here because it attacks five squares", Don't do this.. do that.. blah3x..
The effect of all these rules was a gradual descent into mechanical thinking until I lost all creativity. Original thought having been replaced with a rigid approach. But then playing thru master games, I noticed something - Do you know that the games dont seem to follow the rules? At least not the rules as taught by those darn books.I mean imagine this, Here I am ignoring my kids ("No son we cant' play, I'm busy with chess") so I can learn something that no-one uses? At least no chess player of significant strenght do. So why do these very same masters write all those rules? Please, can somebody tell me why? Please?!
"We'll I dont really follows positional rules, In fact I dont know any master that follows them either. Even an expert don't use this stuff. But since your a beginner, here is a set of 100 positional rules to memorize. It will help you get better, promise. Did I fail to mention that I dont use them myself?" Eeeaargghhh!!! Rant! Rant! Rant! I am getting angry just thinking about the 2 years I've wasted. You say that for beginners it is necessary that rules be taught - I say that you sir, are insulting my intelligence. Do you know that telling me to use something that no self-respecting master uses, is maybe the single most harmful thing that hindered my development!?
Consider the Josh Waitzkin tutorials in Chessmater. In them he takes the reader thru what goes on in his minds while playing a chess game. Particularly instructive is the way he chooses a move. It goes something like this.
1. Bg5 - We could try this but it doesnt work because of Nxg5, hxg5, Qd2+, etc..
See, he doesnt talk abour rules. knight on the rim is dim, etc. He always talks about variations, ideas, plans.. on and on he goes, explaining the things he saw and the variations he considered. This is what real chess is like. And these things, (particularly the calculation of variations) are the one that should be studied if somebody wants to improve.
I'd trade all the positional rules I've memorized for seeing just one more move deeper. No scratch that, I'll just give those lousy rules away to anyone who will take them. Rules, rules.. Bah, Humbug!!!
The role of Tactics in positional play!
"You see, all the quiet moves have very long tactical justifications".
"To an outsider the position seems calm, but a srong player knows that everything can erupt in chaos any moment... A strong player senses the underlying tension of the game. The stronger you get, the more tension you sense"
Ohhh, bet that hurts, and do you want fries with that? Admit it already, by just thinking of strategy you dont really know if a position contains tactics or not do you. In fact you'll never know, not unless you specifically look for it like Mr. Waitzkin is doing. Of course you'll never be able to see tactics until you've master tactics. I've seen enough GM games to think that maybe most of the time, the moves they make have devious tactical shots buried somewhere five moves deep.
So drop those books and start the delamaza program already.
But - dont despair, should you choose to hinder a persons chess development, a rival perhaps? I know of a way to inflict this particularly painful thing on somebody. It is very easy, just give him your books on positional play, and tell him that tactics is not everything..
I came to the same conclusions 3 years ago. In http://www.angelfire.com/ks/learning/skillhubertstuartdreyfus.htm you find an article about the 5 stages from novice to expert in skill acquisition. It describes that on a certain moment you have to drop the rules and find the way yourself.
Don't be angry at the grandmasters, they don't know themselves how they became so good.
Most of them were too young at that moment.
John Watson takes great pains in his "secrets of modern chess strategy" to explain that the rules can be broken at any moment when there is a good variation possible in the position. Which happens more often than not in modern chess.
I would not be so quick at dismissing the past century of chess wisdom, as represented by various chess maxims (don't place the knight on the edge etc.). Certainly one should always be concrete in looking at a position, but there always comes a point in your calculations when you need to make a judgment based on features such as 'a passed pawn' or 'an inactive piece'.
Even though your 3 years may seem wasted at the moment, I am sure that it will eventually make you a stronger , more complete player. Certainly there is some truth to the saying that "To know when to break the rules you first have to familiarize yourself with them."
You are forgetting that you have to build up a position with positional play before you can even think about tactical play.
How do you think they decided which move is best in x opening? Not by tactical play but by taking in consideration the positional aspects of the position.
With other words; i wouldn't say that all these positional rules are garbage. A GM may not mention them when he describes his thoughtproces but he certainly takes them in consideration.
> "I think you are just being a bit impatient now"
Perhaps I am, Admittedly I have never been an overly patient man.. But I think two years is time enough. I mean, some marriages dont last that long.
> "i wouldn't say that all these positional rules are garbage."
This may be right also - Maybe some people win via these rules? I dont know of any, the people that used to defeat me before used to break all of them - and I know they do, because I'm the one that learned them, however they are the ones who always wins. So this winning via rules hasn't been my experience really. One of my favorite players shirov said that the only thing that matters is what position dictates not based on rules but on concrete analysis. At this point of my chess development, I tend to agree with him more.
But I am a weak player, maybe if I become stronger it will all makes sense? I'm clueless remember - but until experience proves me otherwise - then yes, I would say that right now for me these are garbage.

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She has only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Other Titles by Margaret Atwood
One of the best dystopian + feminist reads written. Atwood is a total legend and a heroine of modern classic literature. If you've not read The Handmaid's Tale (or watched the series) you're missing out. Especially since the sequel comes out in September 2019 after 34 years of waiting! Get on it. - Jaidyn (QBD)
Christine, 11/07/2019
When Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale" was released in 1985, it was an immediate and visceral success. Thirty-two years later, the novel is even more terrifying and socially relevant today. Set in the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian theocracy that has overthrown the United States government, The Handmaid's Tale follows the story of Offred - a woman that is prized for her fertility in the same way horsebreeders value a winning horse. Offred is a Handmaid, a woman in indentured servitude to the Commander. She has one purpose only - to bear his healthy children (not as easy as one may think in this near future dystopia) and then to be assigned to her next household. But Offred is not a horse. but a woman - she can remember a time before Gilead, her husband and young daughter, and perhaps more dangerously...she remembers her own name. The Handmaid's Tale is a story of survival in the face of oppression, of the strength of the human condition despite all attempts to break it down. Readers today will no doubt identify just as strongly with Offred'd plight as they did when the novel was first published. This is a must-read for any fan of thrilling dystopia, or someone just looking to remind themselves why our lives today are so precariously wonderful. The Handmaid's Tale has just been adapted into a critically acclaimed HBO television series, but as always, there's nothing better than the book! - Jack (QBD)
Margaret Attwood has a way of telling a story like no other. The words she uses to paint a vivid picture of a dystopian future are astonishing and off-putting at times. She doesn't try and dress up her writing with unnecessarily fancy vocabulary, yet still manages to affect readers in such a life-altering manner. Although this novel is fiction, it depicts a future that is not as far-fetched as we'd like to think. The Republic of Gilead is not a place any woman would hope to find herself. Offred is a Handmaid, and her value is reduced to nothing more than that of a body to produce offspring. Women are stripped of their rights, yet cannot rid themselves completely of the memories of a life they once had. The Handmaid's Tale will make readers uneasy, but in a way that any notable classic should. - Danielle (QBD)
"You wanted a women's culture. Well, now there is one. It isn't what you wanted, but it exists." Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is a cleverly crafted narrative set in the Republic of Gilead, a futuristic dystopia in which women are commoditised and valued by their fertility. Described as both a feat of science fiction and a foreboding moral message about femininity and the enduring power of the patriarchy, Atwood's work focuses on the highest class of fertile females whose names such as Offred and Ofglen identify them as daughters of their fathers, rather than autonomous beings. The story is a delightful contrast narrated by Offred, who recalls life before the totalitarian Republic of Gilead was established, and how being chosen as 'birthgivers' changed right before her the attitudes of many women she once knew. She lives in a home where she, among other young women living there, must be impregnated by the man of the house, and struggles with the reality that failing to become pregnant will result in her disposal and demotion of human worth. Written in first person, Offred speaks straight to the reader of her illegal affair, and outlawed pursuits in reading, writing, books and board games. For fans of other dystopian fiction such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Lois Lowry's The Giver, The Handmaid's Tale is excellent science fiction and a memorable segue into feminist prose. - Hannah

Daniel 11:1-2 and the Persians
Daniel said in Daniel 11:2 that since he is standing in the time of Darius the Mede, thus before the arrival of Cyrus in 538, that after this king Darius, there will be three more kings. These three kings would be Cyrus, Cambyses and Darius I. The fourth one, Daniel said, namely, Xerxes, would be richer than all. By his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. This came true in history since the problems with the Greek started really in the days of Xerxes. This was the king who married Esther. Artaxerxes I use to buy the peace with the Greeks by giving a lot of money and supplies to the opposition of the Greeks, and thus control them in that way. Ezra and Nehemiah came under king Artaxerxes I who was also called Longimanus by the Greeks. If one looks at the relief on his tomb of this king, he really seems to have had a long right hand. In years 7 with Ezra and 20 with Nehemiah as well as year 32 again Nehemiah, Artaxerxes I is also very important for the history of Persia. The phenomenal date for the kickstart of the 2300 years prophecy was in the 7th year of Artaxerxes I.
Plutarch said that "Artaxerxes seemed gentler in everything and naturally milder in his impulses."
94 years old, Artaxerxes at the end became very well-affectioned to his cupbearers and Nehemiah must have been one of them being called in year 32 of his reign. Plutarch said that Artaxerxes I was of nature "so fickle and insecure". He had 360 concubines. His mother out of jealousy poisoned his wife. He was effimate in nature (Plutarch 24.5). Plutarch felt that effimate natures originate due to ignoble nature under the sway of evil doctrines, rather than secularism. When he became old, his sons sought to rival parties against him for the throne. He married his daughter and his mother approved of it. Artaxerxes I was rich but not strong, says Plutarch. The Greeks were angry with the Persians and sought an opportunity to get rid of their control. Artaxerxes I was soft on wrongs, says Plutarch. He was eccentric and different than what protocol demands. He gave his coat as a gift to a servant because it was torn, forbidden of course, and the servant put it on, also forbidden, with an array of woman's jewelry. Everyone was angry but the king said it is fine.

We are particularly concerned about babies and children who might be exposed to harmful chemicals so early in their lives and be at increased risk of diseases in the future. We believe in and promote natural healthy beauty.
Our commitment is to help create for our customers beautiful and healthy hair and skin solutions, by offering 100% natural products that contain neither preservatives nor synthetic chemicals of any sort. As a result the shelf-life of our products is shorter however we believe it is a good trade-off for using safer products. Do we really need products containing potentially harmful preservatives just to be able to use them once opened for 12 to 18 months?
For us the answer is definitely no; so if you agree with us come and join us in the journey for a long term healthy beauty. Vanga Lama is a small family oriented company offering hand crafted 100% natural cosmetics. We work with our customers to design and offer products that address their needs and delights them. We are always listening and are agile so do not hesitate to contact us so that we can serve you better."


If we suppose there is a king who never spares anybody from being killed, a king who is strong and firm, his executioner under his command, with blood shed on the floor, and the king has his daughters and wives around, can anybody think of seducing them or commit a crime at that moment while the king is looking at him? No, of course not. Every one of those present would be full of fright, with their eyes silently gazing, waiting for the moment to be far away from this place to safety.
No doubt Allāh (subhanahu wa ta'ala) who is the Most Superior example is most highly Informed and All-Knowing, than that king. He would be more severe in punishment. His sacred boundaries on the earth are His Commands. If the residents of a village know that their governor would know in the morning of every single deed they committed during the night, they would be fearful and would commit no sins.
These two Ayāhs above explain what is meant by: I have only created jinn and men, that they may worship Me (51:56). As the creation of the universe was meant to put man to a test, Jibreel (alayhi salaam) – may peace be upon him – wished to show the people the path to succeed in that test, so he said to the Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wasallam): 'Tell me about 'Ihsān (perfect action)." (And that is the test the universe is created for). The Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wasallam explained that the way to 'Ihsān (perfect action) is through the great admonition and grand preaching. He said: "It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him, and while you cannot see Him, He sees you. " You do not turn a page in the glorious book, but that you find this great reminder.
There are many such Ayāhs in the Qur'an.

Q: Java.sql.SQLException doing a SELECT When I try to execute this code:
    try {

        pstm = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM Menu WHERE (menuName LIKE '?%')");
        pstm.setString(1,searchedMenu.getMenuName());
        rs = pstm.executeQuery();
        while (rs.next()) {
            Menu menu=new Menu();
            menu.setMenuId(rs.getInt("menuId"));
            menu.setMenuName(rs.getString("menuName"));
            temp.add(menu);
        }

I get the error in the subject, why? My purpose is to search a string or a part of it.
Thank you.
Edit: the error is:
java.sql.SQLException: Parameter index out of range (1 > number of parameters, which is 0).
And it is referred to this line:
pstm.setString(1,searchedMenu.getMenuName());

A: Try this:
SELECT * FROM Menu WHERE (menuName LIKE ?)

pstm.setString(1, searchedMenu.getMenuName() + "%");

A: Try this query
"SELECT * FROM Menu WHERE menuName LIKE ?"

And then append % to string that your are binding to this placeholder
pstm.setString(1,searchedMenu.getMenuName()+"%");

A: The error is likely from the fact that you don't have any parameter markers to set, because you put the question mark into the string:
menuName LIKE '?%'

So that when you do this:
pstm.setString(1,searchedMenu.getMenuName());

There is nothing to set, and it will throw an error.  If you check the stack trace, it's likely that you're seeing a message about the number of parameter markers.
You should concatenate the percent into the string in Java.  Concatenating it in the SQL will provide less consistent results, varying by RDBMS.
So I would recommend writing your SQL with a parameter like this:
SELECT * FROM Menu WHERE (menuName LIKE ?)

And then setting the parameter in the java code like this:
pstm.setString(1, searchedMenu.getMenuName() + "%");

Also consider trimming the menu name, if you know there will be spaces.  Your results may not be as you expect if you have a percent sign after a bunch of spaces.

OPERATION FINALE – Martha K Baker
September 9, 2018 Martha K. Baker	0 Comments	operation finale
Operation Finale captures evil-doers. In this sincere study of the capture of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi mastermind in World War II, stares in fascination at a murmuration of starlings as the birds in the air constantly change their grouping, creating one force out of many, e pluribus unum. Eichmann focuses on the choreography, unaware it symbolizes his end.
After World War II, some high-ranking Nazis escaped capture by killing themselves, but Eichmann escaped to Buenos Aires. Eichmann, one of the designers of the Final Solution by which Nazis killed 6 million Jews and assorted gypsies and homosexuals, hid in Argentina under an assumed name. He worked as a manager, taking the same buses to the factory every day in Germanic precision.
In 1960, he is still wanted for crimes against humanity. Israeli forces are determined to bring Eichmann to justice — in Israel. "Operation Finale" is a slow, well-meaning look at the story of that apprehension. Secret agents working with Mossad have a plan, and each of those Jewish agents holds an agenda of revenge.
Director Chris Weitz, known for About a Boy, concentrates on Peter Malkin with distractions to the other agents. Malkin — sarcastic, stubborn, egotistic, and effective — exploits the psychology of ego on Eichmann, charming the charmer.
Oscar Isaac delivers Malkin well, ranging from grieving brother to practical ex-lover to determined agent. Ben Kingsley presents Eichmann as also multi-dimensional — with one of those dimensions Kingsley's own excellent charm. Worth note as another agent is Nick Kroll, here admirably expanding his skill from "Sausage Party." Greta Scacchi, always a pleasure, plays Mrs. E.
Matthew Orton's script leaves out signal parts of the plot (like how some of the agents got back to israel for the trial), but, overall, it manages to tell a complex story with steadiness if not always rising excitement (this ain't "Argo"). "Operation Finale" moves deliberately and darkly. It's ideal for remembrance and consideration in these newly Fascistic, Nazi-fied days.

Dervla Kirwan: 'I was bulimic for 18 years and I still have body dysmorphia today'
Dervla Kirwan opens up about her eating disorder for the first time Credit: Andrew Crowley
28 September 2019 • 10:00am
Mellifluous, lilting, smooth as molten caramel: are there adjectives enough for the timbre of actor Dervla Kirwan's voice? There must be something magical to it, other than her gentle Irish burr.
After all, why else would Marks & Spencer have chosen Kirwan to be the voice of their "Not Just Food" adverts for six years? And why else – almost a decade later – are her gloriously seductive vowels so easy to conjure up in our heads?
Kirwan, 48, laughs. "I love a double entendre," she says, with a wicked look.
There's a sad irony, too, though in Kirwan making everyday food sound irresistible. For 18 years - the actress reveals for the first time today - she battled an eating disorder.
"I was bulimic," she tells me, sipping a coffee in the foyer of Chichester Festival Theatre, where she is playing Lady Macbeth, alongside John Simm in the title role. "All the early years of my career when I was suddenly so famous and under what felt like an awful lot of pressure," she explains. "It was my release. My relationship with food became one of distrust, shame and anger."
Kirwan puts the start of her illness down to an audition in the early 1990s, when she overheard someone comment on her weight. "I just tried it," she says, "then I couldn't stop. It helped me express my rage and frustration. I had this critical little voice in my head, and throwing up helped to silence it. Eating disorders consume you; they control your life."
Kirwan only made the decision to talk about her bulimia on the way to this interview.
"It's important people in my position speak out," she explains. "I want others to realise that they're not alone. I struggled so hard. Looking back, I don't understand why I was so cruel to myself."
She adds: "I still have body dysmorphia. I don't have a great relationship with food. I want to acknowledge that."

The Dublin-born star was thrust into the spotlight at a young age, cast in a TV drama about Ireland called Troubles at just 15 - the same age as her daughter, Florence, now (she also has a 13-year-old son, Peter). Within a year was on the London stage.
Before that, she was badly bullied at her school in Churchtown, Dublin. "I don't want to compare it to what children go through now, it must be awful being bullied online. And it made me empathetic and stronger I think in the long run."
Yet it was not the last time she was browbeaten. In 1992, aged 21, Kirwan was cast in Hush at the Royal Court Theatre by director Max Stafford Clark.
Two years ago, Stafford Clark was alleged to have made lewd comments to a number of actresses and left Out of Joint, the theatre company he had founded. But back in the 1990s, he was a powerful man, producing important new work.
That's not how Kirwan remembers him.
"He was," she says choosing her words carefully, "a psychological terrorist. He tore me down all the time. He was not predatory in a sexual way, but even now I can recall him bringing me up to his office like a headmaster and reviewing me in the most humiliating way. My confidence was shattered. It was stripped from me. I didn't think I could turn to anyone – and even if there had been, I wouldn't have dared. I didn't work on the stage for years after that".
Instead, Kirwan turned to television and made a name for herself as Assumpta Fitzgerald, the Irish landlady in Ballykissangel who captivated the nation with her doomed attraction to priest Father Peter (played by Stephen Tompkinson, who Kirwan was in a relationship with at the time).
On her return to theatre in 2001's Dangerous Corner, she met Rupert Penry-Jones, star of TV series Spooks.

The couple, who live in Hampshire, married in 2007. Penry-Jones, 49, knew about Kirwan's bulimia from the start. But, she says, her breakthrough came with motherhood.
"I was pregnant with my first child," she says, "and so gloriously happy. I felt fecund and powerful. I didn't need to abuse myself."
After Florence was born, however, Kirwan developed post-natal depression. "My world turned upside down," she says. "I worried that someone would break in and steal my child. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) runs in my family, as do other mental health problems."
To what extent, Kirwan learnt during filming for the BBC ancestry show Who Do You Think You Are in 2010. "My maternal grandfather [died by] suicide in his sixties," she says, "but my mother refused to let that be known on the show. I think we missed a huge opportunity to talk about the stigma of suicide in Ireland. It's deeply painful for my mum. But we need to normalise mental health problems by talking openly."
This candour is in part due to what she calls "a new sense of power" connected to the MeToo movement. "Our industry has been shaken up," she says. "When I started out, there was a hierarchy. The lead female would never reach out to the other women on a show. Now we operate together. I think we have to perform acts of kindness for our fellow humans – men and women."
Perhaps it's her position as a Dubliner – the great grand-niece of Irish Revolutionary Michael Collins - settled in rural England that gives Kirwan a thoughtful perspective on the Anglo-Irish relationship.
The 51 per cent newsletter REFERRAL (Article)
"I am concerned that there's a cavalier attitude to the Irish Peace Process," she says. "What poor memories some have; I remember only too well the bag searches, the bomb scares and deaths. As they say, history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes."
As a "self-exile", she has been cautious about speaking out. "England has given me everything. And I have made a life here; paid my taxes gladly because of it." In the early years, she admits even to toning down her accent to blend in: "I wanted to be the good immigrant and keep my head down."
But with immigration such a live subject, she feels compelled to talk. "I abstained in the Referendum, to my shame. The rhetoric of both sides confused me. I didn't see the fragility of my situation as an Irish person and a European with my status in the UK.
"I'm in such a strange position," she adds. "I don't even know if I need to apply for settled status. Will I be thrown out of the country? Last March, my husband lost a good job on the continent due to Brexit. It's going to hit the Arts hard."
She has applied for Irish passports for her children but worries that even "all my love for England" will not be enough.
"I don't want to lose my identity," Kirwan says. "We Irish complement the English so much. You are an honourable, stoic, hard-working people who make great friendships. And sometimes we tell you to chill out.
"That's what we need to do now – reach out to each other, whatever our disagreements, and learn to talk again."
This is not just any plea for harmony, it is a Dervla Kirwan honey-voiced plea for harmony – how can any of us refuse?

Economic Development Chief Predicts Strong Recovery After COVID-19
By Paul Boger
For roughly a decade, Nevada has maintained one of the fastest-growing economies in the country.

The August 21 grenade attack had been a scar on the conscience of this nation for too long. For many, whether they are actively engaged in politics or not, the attack was aimed at snubbing out the voices of an opposition party, using the most barbaric of methods. Fourteen years later, the verdict has been given and there is an overwhelming feeling across the country that justice has been served.
Politics aside, on Aug 21, 2004, civilians, including women, were killed when military grade grenades were hurled into an Awami League political rally. While the nation was stunned by such savagery, bodies with shrapnel wounds littered the roads. Those horrific scenes are etched in the collective memory of this country. It was a day when the democratic foundations of Bangladesh received a massive jolt.
Unfortunately, the long trail of subterfuge and intrigue following the attack is nothing but utterly reprehensible. Following such an event, the immediate task would have been to give full priority to the investigation and swift punishment, which did not happen. Evidence, scrupulously evaluated much later, shows that instead of arresting the likely suspects, a scapegoat was found and implicated; the travesty took a turn for the ridiculous when it was clear that police security on that day and, especially prior to the disaster, was unusually low. There have been instances when high ups also made flippant remarks about the tragedy.
All these indicate to a premeditated conspiracy involving the state apparatus of the time. While the probe report was submitted, the case was diverted with red herrings, and, reportedly, many incriminating evidence was summarily destroyed. It's only natural to believe that this was done to cover clues, which may have led to the actual masterminds.
Be that as it may, despite these vile efforts to tamper with the evidence, there was plenty which remained and close scrutiny of these suggest that foul play of the highest order was involved. As the punishment is handed out, the actual events leading up to the attack emerge, showing also a militant link which wanted to wipe out the senior leadership of the then opposition party.
Now it power, the AL's determination to eradicate all forms of radicalism is completely justified because unless uprooted, these forces will strike again at the heart of a civilised society. The conclusion of the case, though belated, proves one other thing: crime of such enormity cannot be wiped out and swept under the carpet because there is a word beyond all human capability to manipulate, called karma.

Let's get right to the point: nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood is crucial for optimal uterine function, uterine lining health, and uterine lining cell proliferation. Healthy blood makes its way to and through the uterus via a healthy circulatory system and healthy circulation. Healthy circulation to the reproductive system, uterus included, is very important for women with endometriosis.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dominant fertility-health condition and also creates a situation of "congestion" where excess tissues grow in the uterus and can grow in many other areas of the body. These tissue deposits grow and bleed in response to hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle, can cause internal damage and inflammation, and can form scars. Each of these is a cause of and contributor to chronic pelvic "congestion", which causes a myriad of symptoms and may make it harder for an embryo to implant properly in early pregnancy. All that said, one part of a natural fertility program for endometriosis needs to be encouraging healthy circulation.
To learn more, do read on and take time to refer to our guide 5 Steps to Reversing Endometriosis Infertility.
Self Fertility MassageTM (SFM) and Castor Oil packs allow you a direct connection to your reproductive health. SFM is a series of massage techniques known to benefit circulation, digestion and the body's ability to detoxify.
Castor Oil packs are complementary to SFM. This natural therapy is as simple as soaking a cloth in castor oil, placing it on the skin and resting, to increase circulation and promote healing of the tissues and organs underneath the skin. We feel Castor Oil packs best proceed SFM.
We know that exercise improves circulation. Regular moderate-intensity exercise helps your heart get pumping and improves blood flow to the entire body. Reminder: Our blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all body systems, including the reproductive system.
Fertility Yoga not only stretches and tones the body, but also helps you learn how to breathe properly for stress reduction and healthy oxygenation of the body, boosts circulation, strengthens reproductive organs, helps for proper structural alignment of the body (necessary for proper positioning of the uterus), promotes healthy endocrine function for hormonal balance, and helps you focus on manifesting healing and your fertility goals.
Other fertility benefiting exercises are: a daily walk, leisurely jogging or bike riding, Zumba and Pilates, and gentle strength training, The Aviva Method or Fit & Fabulous Pre-Pregnancy Fitness Program are excellent or, if you aren't sure of an adequate level of exercise for your needs, consult a personal trainer.
Staying hydrated is important for us all, but it's particularly important for women with stagnating fertility health conditions, blood clotting disorders, or circulation concerns because, when we get dehydrated, circulation to and through the smallest capillaries that infiltrate our organs becomes slow or sluggish.
Drink plenty of fresh water, squeeze in the juice of ¼-½ a lemon even, try herbal tea, or coconut water (nature's electrolyte beverage).
"… if blood isn't freely moving through your pelvic cavity on a daily basis – bringing in oxygen and immune support while filtering out the waste particles – you're automatically setting yourself up for monthly pain, or worse." ~ Katie Edmonds, Nutritional Therapist absolutely passionate about helping women with endometriosis.
So, if you suffer from endometriosis, start implementing these three tips just as soon as you can and again, refer to the guide linked in the very top of this article. And then, after a few cycles, share the changes you've seen in the comments below. We know hearing of other's success motivates and encourages women to keep moving forward.
Thank you very much for this informative article. Staying hydrated is really important for us all. we must drink as much of water as much is good for our body.

Community Investment Programme (CIP)
New homes for Gospel Oak
Three of these are council homes and local families were able to move in just in time for their New Year's celebrations. An additional two homes were sold to help fund the costs of the council homes and landscaping improvements across the estate, new planting and investment in the play area.
Mr Miah and Mrs Begum have been Camden residents since 1996 when they moved into a one bedroom flat with their first born child. At the time their flat was the right size, but as their family grew they found that they were soon sharing one bedroom with three children aged between 5 and 14.
"As our family grew so did our need for extra space" said Mr Miah, "now we have three bedrooms, a big living room and two bathrooms – the extra bathroom has made our morning routine so much easier."
"The children love that they've got more space to play and our daughters are really happy to have their own room" added Mrs Begum, "we even have private space to ourselves that we didn't before, it's great."
Mr Miah and Mrs Begum's new home also includes a separate kitchen and a balcony, testament to high quality housing delivered through our Community Investment Programme. In addition, the family's eldest children attend Parliament Hill School where the Council building improved classrooms and science and sports facilities as part of CIP investment into Camden schools.
The homes at Barrington and Lamble are the latest in our plans to build new homes and facilities for Gospel Oak and Haverstock. Nearby schemes include Cherry Court, which completed in 2015, Kiln Place where homes are currently under construction and upcoming projects such as the next phase of Bacton Low Rise and Maitland Park.
Reflecting on the rejuvenating effect of these Community Investment Programme funded improvements, Mr Miah said "I used to walk down Barrington Close when it was old store rooms and garages. I watched the new homes be built from scratch and I never thought there'd be anything like this here. I think it's great that we're getting new homes in the area, I hope people will take even more pride in Gospel Oak with every new home that's built."
