After the attack of ASSad death barrels on Aleppo, Syria, credit Freedom House
Can this Woman Bring Justice to Syria?
Kimberly Curtis July 7, 2017
Six years in, the conflict in Syria is synonymous now with the brutality of war. Currently, there are more than 5.1 million registered Syrian refugees with another 6.3 million Syrians displaced within the country. The number killed is harder to pin down, but the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimated in March there were 465,000 dead or reported missing. Yet despite ample evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all sides of the war, efforts to bring any form of accountability to the conflict have stalled.
Enter Catherine Marchi-Uhel, a French lawyer who has experience overseeing prosecutions of war criminals in the former Yugoslavia and Cambodia.
Image by: Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
Secretary General Antonio Guterres this week appointed her to head a new UN entity dedicated exclusively to investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria, with a specific mandate that the information she gathers will assist in the eventual prosecution of these crimes. Her office is known in the UN as the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism (IIIM), and it was created by the U.N. General Assembly last December to circumvent a key problem facing accountability and justice in Syria — the fact that Syria is not a member of the International Criminal Court.
Because Syria is not a member of the ICC, it has no direct jurisdiction over the conflict. The ICC could still investigate and prosecute crimes that occur there, but only if the Security Council passes a resolution giving it jurisdiction. With veto-wielding Russia firmly on the side of the Bashar al-Assad regime and now fighting in Syria itself, attempts to pass such a resolution have consistently failed.
With the international community's primary judicial mechanism out of the picture, more creative approaches were required. In 2011, the Human Rights Council created the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, otherwise known as the "Syria CoI," to establish the facts, circumstances and identify perpetrators of alleged international crimes. The Syria CoI has no ability to actually prosecute crimes, but by establishing facts surrounding allegations the hope is if prosecution became a possibility, the investigatory groundwork would already be in place.
Adding to this, over the strenuous objections of Syria, Russia and its allies, the General Assembly established the IIIM late last year. The mandate of the mechanism goes further than the Syria CoI, explicitly stating its purpose is to "collect, consolidate, preserve and analyze evidence of violations of international humanitarian law and human rights violations . . . to prepare files in order to facilitate and expedite fair and independent criminal proceedings." Although the IIIM and Syria CoI compliment each other and will cooperate with each other, it is the IIIM that is striving to create a framework that will lead to real criminal accountability in the conflict.
And it is the IIIM that Marchi-Uhel is now appointed to head. A French judge, Marchi-Uhel's career spans from a legal officer at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to a judge with the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia prosecuting senior members of the Khmer Rouge. She also served in the French Foreign Ministry and as part of U.N. missions in Bosnia, Kosovo and Liberia. Since 2015, she served as the ombudsperson for the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against ISIS. She brings with her a distinguished career in international law, and international criminal law more specifically.
But as a "prosecutor without a tribunal" Marchi-Uhel may be facing the biggest challenge of her career. Although there are steady demands for justice for the atrocities in Syria, there is no easy way to get there. The IIIM is a step in the right direction, but even the most basic of legal issues – jurisdiction – is still far from resolved. With growing international involvement in Syria and neighboring Iraq, the appetite for a formal legal forum may very well dwindle as possibilities of prosecution spread to new players.
In the meantime, the IIIM carries on with its substantial mandate. Keeping the pressure on for real legal action while still gaining access to document and investigate alleged crimes is no small task. But the appointment of someone as distinguished and experienced as Marchi-Uhel is a clear sign the U.N. is taking the IIIM – and the issue of justice in Syria – seriously. What remains to be seen is which side of the justice debate will ultimately win this particular war of attrition.

Media Release – 1st July 2019 Council's grab for cash will see airline services to Flinders Island slashed
Today could see the beginning of the end for airline services to Flinders Island with the Flinders Island Council to raise the tax on passengers from $30 per return ticket to $60 per return ticket over four years. Already one of the highest per-head taxes in Australia, the tax appears not to act in the best interests of the Flinders Island Community or Sharp Airlines.
In a meeting with Council last month, Sharp Airlines agreed in principle to a small increase, provided it was spread across all airline and charter services to Flinders Island, not just those that land at Whitemark Airport. However, last week Sharp Airlines were informed that changes would come into effect today, with a twenty-five percent increase.
In contrast, a nine-passenger charter flight is charged three quarters less tax per passenger for the 2019/2020 financial year. The pure economics of this decision will naturally drive people into smaller and less safe aircraft.
On the 1st April 2019, the Federal Government announced $100 million for Regional Airport upgrades. Sharp Airlines urgently ask the Council to reconsider its position, and seek additional Federal and State funding for this vital infrastructure. Asking the Airline and the Community to dip into its pockets for an estimated $700 thousand per annum (up from the current $350 thousand per annum) ongoing is fraught with danger and will eventually make air travel unaffordable.
Should the council do nothing, we will be forced to reduce our services from 1,500 flights per annum to 1,200 which is a 20% reduction. We cannot simply put airfares up and increasing the load factor or efficiency of our services. Whilst regrettable, it appears to be the only option we have. We have worked hard with tourism operators and FITB to grow the market and would hate to see the positive growth to the Island's tourism undone.
Sharp Airlines operates 15 aircraft, servicing five states, in the Airline and FIFO market and carries over 100,000 passengers and 1.5 million kilograms of freight per annum. With Bases in Adelaide, Melbourne (Essendon), Sydney (Bankstown) Launceston and Hobart our network continues to expand.
Sharp Airlines is continually growing and looking for opportunities both in the Regular Public Transport and FIFO operations.

Varied and interesting walking on and near a long and spectacular fold in the earth's crust.
Capitol Reef in Utah must be one of the world's thinnest national parks, a very long slice of heavily eroded sandstone along the narrow, in places wildly broken, Waterpocket Fold, a near 100 mile long wrinkle in the Earth's crust.
The Fold takes different forms along its length; the best known area is the Capitol Reef, around the village of Fruita, thus known because it us topped by a layer of white Navajo sandstone which has eroded into shapes which include a dome which earlier explorers thought looked like Washington's Capitol. The lands to the west are significantly higher than those to the east, so the Fold is burrowed-through by numerous creeks.
The best-known walk here is the trail to the Rim Overlook (7+ km return) and onward to the Navajo Knobs (15+ km return), which begins near Fruita, branching off north-west. The Rim Overlook, about half way to the Navajo Knobs, sits on top of the huge reef-edge cliffs, with enormous views to savour. From there it is a descent then climb to a viewpoint on top of the peculiar excrescences that are the Navajo Knobs.
There are 14 other shorter walks (up to 10 miles) in the Fruita area, including the hour or so up a lovely low canyon to the spectacular Hickman rock bridge (3km return); and the narrow Capitol Gorge. The 5.6km return walk to Cassidy Arch looks excellent, as does the Chimney Rock Loop.
The Cathedral Valley to the north, with its magnificent free-standing "temples" or "cathedrals", is particularly special. The Cathedrals Trail climbs to a mesa-top, then winds out to its edge for several wonderful views of the "cathedrals".
There are a number of excellent-looking longer and overnight trails around Fruita, including in the Cathedral Valley area.
This can be tough walking in remote country. Come properly prepared, including carrying enough water.
There are plenty of fine walks elsewhere along the Waterpocket Fold - we need to enlarge on these. Community Suggestions Requested!
There is a good Wikipedia page on Capitol Reef, and the NPS (www.nps.gov/care) site is as good as you'd expect and has information on walks available.
You can camp nearby. Summer is hideously hot and can have dangerous thunderstorms. Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit.

Coronavirus cases top 10,000 in France, death toll at 372
0 Comment(s) Print E-mail Xinhua, March 20, 2020
An empty metro station is seen in Paris, France, March 19, 2020. One hundred and eight COVID-19 patients died in 24 hours in France, taking the country's death toll to 372, and total confirmed cases to 10,995, Director-General of Health Jerome Salomon said Thursday in a daily update.

One hundred and eight COVID-19 patients died in 24 hours in France, taking the country's death toll to 372, and total confirmed cases to 10,995.


Is there such a thing as a normal day? With jam-packed schedules, places to be, and unpredictable stressors, let's get real: There is no such thing as typical.
In fact, to make sense of what & how many activities, emotions and events cause changes in sweat levels throughout the day, Secret commissioned a third party, Innerscope Research. Their study showed our bodies go through more than 500 ups and downs all day, every day.
More so, the study results show body changes such as heart rate and skin temperature are equally caused by positive and negative stressors that trigger you to sweat instantly—up to 35 times more than regular sweat—proving you need a deodorant that can keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle!
Secret and Innerscope Research measured 80 women to understand the "day in the life" of women from a variety of demographic categories, how their bodies change over the course of the day, and which positive and negative stressors result in the most ups and downs throughout the day and therefore, have the biggest impact on sweat levels.
· Women are experiencing upwards of 500 ups and downs- every single day!
· There are big ranges across women's vitals, which can indicate that no two women have the same body chemistry experience.
· The magnitude of the ups and downs, can change depending on what women are doing, or how they are feeling.
o Mid-day has the biggest ups and downs (113% larger during 11-3pm v. rest of day). This is likely driven by mealtime and multitasking.
o Extreme emotions ones, like excitement, frustration, overwhelmed, predictably have the biggest ups and downs. Don't worry, though- these emotions usually don't last long- about 46 minutes on average. Whereas emotions like "content" or "interest" last longer- over twice as long!
o Stay at home moms experience a lot of stress during lunch/dinner prep times. Their skin temperature is down, and their skin conductance level is up!
o And as expected, brides to be experienced a lot of stress while doing wedding planning! On average, their skin conductance levels (an indicator of sweat) were 10x higher while doing wedding activities versus the rest of the day!

Q: How To Get A Random Number To Count Down I am trying to get a random number to count down to zero, but what i have keeps giving me a random number. Then every second it will generate a new random number between 4 and 11, and won't count down. if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
enter code here
            private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        Random nuber = new Random();
        i = nuber.Next(4, 11);
        i--;

        textBox1.Text = i.ToString();

        if(i == 0)
        {
            Form1 f1 = new Form1();
            Form2 f2 = new Form2();

            f2.Show();
            f1.Close();
        }

    }

A: If I understand what you are trying to do, then you need to generate the number outside of the loop, in an initialization phase, in a static (global) variable. Then the timer tick will count it down. Note your f1 is created and then closed, it never shows, so is superfluous. Also you are creating a new form every time which is maybe not what you want.
Basically you need to move just the two statements:
random nuber = new Random();
i = number.next();

to wherever it is that you create the timer.

Q: RDP or VNC a single application I'm working at a school and need to put together a solution that allows our students to access certain flash-based websites on their iPads.
The existing commercial solutions like Puffin Browser don't work in our case since we need to ensure that our students traffic is going through our content-filtering system.
I currently have a XRDP setup on my server. My goal was to create a VNC or RDP server that only serves a web browser. I have it more or less working as intended - but what I am struggling with is that every time a user connects - if I use the sesman-x11rdp it kicks the other user off. If I use the sesman-vnc setting - it joins the already active connection.
What I am trying to accomplish is that a single user could have multiple number of vnc or rdp connections that are independent from each other.
Meaning - if I remote in from my phone and my ipad at the same time as the same user - I would get a separate session for each.
Anyone have any suggestions?

A: Your problem is an interesting one, and your solution path isn't wholly wrong, but I think you're chasing a more complicated solution than you need.
If you have a unix server you don't need VNC or RDP - you already have X11.
With an app like iSSH you can display any X client on an iPhone/iPad, so a simple solution is to give each iDevice an installation of iSSH with a passwordless key that logs it into a student account. Have that student account launch the browser of your choice and you should be all set.
This will wind up costing you at least $10 per iPad for the iSSH software (I'm not aware of any other X servers for the iPad - there very well may be some though).

If you're a Windows shop, RDP is the answer.
Something similar to the above can be rigged up with RDP and a Windows server (each student logs in to their normal account via RDP, and has access to whatever software they'd normally be able to use - including browsers - subject to their normal restrictions.
You would probably need to purchase CALs for each student that would be simultaneously connected to the server for this to be legal, but as an educational institution Microsoft will probably cut you a deal on licensing that makes this a reasonable option.
You would need to contact your Microsoft representative to work that end of it out.

Mets trade Curtis Granderson to Dodgers | What it means
Updated: Aug. 19, 2017, 5:37 a.m. |
Chris Ryan | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
NEW YORK -- The Mets traded outfielder Curtis Granderson, plus cash considerations, to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Granderson was not in the Mets' lineup on Friday night for the team's 3-1 loss to the Miami Marlins, but talking in the clubhouse after the game, Granderson said he was informed the Mets had a deal in place to move him to Los Angeles.
Granderson's last at bat as a Met was a grand slam against the Yankees on Thursday night, which could have been a final selling point for the Dodgers.
Gradnerson was at the center of trade rumors throughout the summer, as the Mets fell far back in the standings and they started to move pieces in July. Granderson stayed through the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, but rumors surfaced again after he cleared waivers in August.
The Mets already dealt outfielder Jay Bruce to the Cleveland Indians in August, and now another veteran is gone to open up a spot in the lineup for the rest of the season. Outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto will get their regular playing time, but Juan Lagares and specifically Brandon Nimmo will benefit from the absence of Granderson.
"It's been a great four years with the Mets organization," Granderson said. "All these guys have been amazing. Getting to talk to the coaching staff and players to this point, possibly saying goodbye to these guys for a little bit. It's a little bittersweet to do that, but to get an opportunity to go play in the postseason's going to be exciting."
Granderson could find himself in a similar platoon role in Los Angeles, but he will find himself playing October baseball. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 86-34.

During a reiki treatment the client remains fully clothed, shoes are removed. You will begin your treatment lying on your back and I usually cover you with a blanket. The treatment is carried out on a massage couch, although a chair may be sometimes used. There will be soft lighting with relaxing music playing in the background. The room may also be candle lit and may have natural incense burning to enhance the atmosphere.
Before I begin your treatment I will feel your energy field by scanning your body with my hands; I find this beneficial to the session as I can feel where there may be areas in your energy field which need healing. I use a series of hand positions with a very gentle but powerful and light touch. I start at your head, placing my hands on the body's energy centres (usually known as chakras) and channelling energy to the areas that need it. I work my way down to the feet, I will then ask you to turn over and repeat the process again with you lying on your front.
When I have finished your healing session I will tell you and leave you for a few moments to come back to full awareness, I will then give you a glass of water and have a chat with you about what I may have observed during this session. You may also share your experience with me if you wish to do so.
Each Reiki session usually lasts for one hour. Some people feel a little 'spacey' after a session, this is normal and it will pass. You can help your body with the healing process by drinking lots of water for the next 48 hours and carrying the positive energy with you after the session ends, try not to jump back in to a hectic lifestyle.
What will I feel or experience during a Reiki treatment?
Each reiki session is unique to you and no two sessions are the same. Usually when receiving reiki you will begin to feel very relaxed and you may even drift off to sleep! Many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. You may feel many sensations such as heat, tingling, coldness or the energy moving around in your body. It is also possible to see clear images, places and people.
Reiki has a calming effect that is particularly effective in relieving stress. It is also possible for you to experience different emotions; you may laugh or even cry. Forgotten memories can be brought to the surface. If Reiki has triggered an emotional release due to some mental or emotional trauma this may cause tears, it is a sign that Reiki is healing an emotional issue and it is brought to surface because it needs to be released. Remember that all healing starts a process of release; this could be emotions or toxins along with any imbalances and blockages. Be kind to your body's needs; resting when tired and drinking plenty of water will also help rebalance the energy and work with the body's healing process. As your sessions progress you will soon begin to feel an inner calmness and an improvement in your energy levels. Whatever your experience it will be a positive one!
This is dependent on what the client's needs are at the time. One single reiki session may make a difference for things like stress relief or minor pain. However a course of regular treatments, whether they are weekly, fortnightly or less often may be more effective if your problem is long standing. Usually after a course of treatment - which normally lasts 4-6 sessions - you will find yourself feeling less stressed with a calmer approach to life's challenges.
FEEL THE HEALING ENERGY OF REIKI TOUCH YOUR SOUL!

Q: Visual Basic close a form when windows default border has been removed I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2019. I have made a word processor and that is working fine, but now I am trying to get rid of the windows default border and make my own close button.
I have been using this in the past when my windows default border was still there:

Thank you.

A: You should use End.
It closes every windows and stops the application.

BREWSTER – A donkey and a pony rescued from poor conditions at a Bristol County farm are now on Cape Cod and are looking for their forever homes.
The Animal Rescue League of Boston took in the 16-year-old Mare Pony and the 10-year-old Gelded Donkey after they were discovered in frigid conditions during an inspection of the farm. The animals were found without adequate shelter and protection from the cold. It was 12 degrees outside with a wind chill of 20 below zero.
The owners agreed to surrender the animals to the Animal Rescue League. They are now being cared for at the Brewster Animal Care and Adoption Center.
"They had an inconsistent diet, they didn't have availability to potable water, and their hooves were overgrown," said Sandra Luppi, the Animal Care Manager at the Brewster facility.
The Animal Rescue League has not released the specific location of the 25-acre farm in question.
Officials are now getting the donkey and the pony ready for adoption.
"They're a very bonded pair. They definitely need to be adopted together," Luppi said. "They're actually very sweet when you watch them. They end up in separate areas of the paddock but then they come together and nuzzle each other and rub up against each other.
They're just great companions for each other," Luppi added.
Animal Rescue League officials say the pony and the donkey have been extremely friendly and are enjoying daily human contact.
The Brewster facility is outfitted with barn space and an outdoor paddock, making it possible for them to take in livestock when needed.
Officials are reminding people to make sure that all animals have access to food, water, and shelter, particularly during extreme weather conditions.

Wearing a white bathrobe, Chloe is comfortably sprawled on a grey fur blanket. She looks intently at the camera, while a silver tray full of Urban Decay cosmetics lies at her feet.
Sounds like your regular beauty influencer featuring a paying advertiser in a post on Instagram? Chloe is anything but. She is a mini frenchie - merely one of the many rising stars in the world of social pet influencers.
And increasingly, these four-legged furballs are becoming the latest faces of beauty brands, touting their products and headlining some of their biggest digital campaigns.
Urban Decay, The Body Shop, Too Faced, Nyx and Smashbox are among the beauty brands that have recently chosen to hire dogs and other pets as their brand ambassadors, specifically on Instagram. There has been an uptick in the number of beauty and fashion brands inquiring to partner with pets in recent months, confirmed Loni Edwards, managing partner at The Dog Agency, an influencer agency that specializes in matching brands with pet influencers.
Wait, there are pet influencers? Yes, due to the rise of the visual web and platforms like Facebook and Instagram, marketers have had a growing interest in hiring social media personalities to hawk their products in recent years.
While these influencers were initially humans, over the past few years people have also taken to following famous dogs, cats and other animals on Instagram and other social networks. Some, like the collective account DogsofInstagram, boasts over 4 million followers. And brands, including Mercedes Benz and Budweiser, have enlisted such pet influencers for ad campaigns.
Marketers either feature photos with these pets on their feeds, or get shout outs from the pets on their personal accounts. And they aren't just aligning with these pet stars to rack up the likes.
The brands are also deliberately partnering with these pooches to let their commitment against animal cruelty be known far and wide. Both Urban Decay and The Body Shop have specifically been running Instagram posts against animal cruelty recently.
The Body Shop, for example, recently launched "Forever Against Animal Testing," its multi-year ad campaign that aims to raise awareness on the cruelty of animal testing in cosmetics and gather 8 million global signatures by 2020 to petition the U.N. to ban animal testing in cosmetics globally.
Instead of relying solely on beauty bloggers and influencers as it has traditionally, the brand chose to also partner with five pet influencers including Tuna Melts My Heart, Toast Meets World, Mr. Bagel the Chinchilla, Bunny Mama, and Dogs of Instagram. Additionally, human fashion and beauty influencers Kristen Leanne and KeikoLynn were also part of the campaign.
"We're not traditional, we're quirky and different and are always trying to find ways to advertise that aren't mainstream," Andrea Blieden, vp of marketing for The Body Shop, told Business Insider. "But this was more than that, it was about remaining true to our activist roots. This is a campaign against animal cruelty, so who better to speak for the animals than the animals themselves?"
But there's no denying that these pets help the brands broaden their audience, as well as their reach and scope. With so many pets netting thousands and millions of followers these days, brands can easily achieve scale, often at a price much lower than human influencers. (Regular influencers make anywhere between $1,000 to $200,000 on Instagram, while a pet influencers can make between $2,000 to $5,000 per post.) Plus, posts with pets in them tend to outperform regular posts, with higher levels of engagement, said Edwards.
"There's been a greater push from brands because pet influencers in general provide a lot of value," she said. "The content outperforms because it tends to get higher engagement, has more viral potential and people are more likely to tag their friends."
"Pet influencers enjoy strong engagement rates as their content may be more shareable, more likely to elicit a response, and overall feel less promotional -- even when they are touting a product," added Kamiu Lee, head of business and development strategy at influencer network Bloglovin'.
But above all, the demand for pet influencers among specific categories like beauty brands is reflective of a bigger trend for Lee. According to her, as more consumers become pet owners and begin to consider pets to be a part of their family, verticals beyond pet food, such as home, CPG and beauty brands are starting to leverage pet influencers.
"Household cleaning brands can work with pet influencers to highlight the effectiveness of their product against everyone's furry family member and beauty brands can highlight their commitment to animal friendly products by working with pet influencers," she said. "The personal nature of a pet lends itself well to telling a story around a personal product you might buy for yourself."


A small hotel with only 12 rooms, at 5 minutes from Hoan Kiem Lake. The Meracus Hotel 2 is a 3-star establishment of charm and comfort. The reception team is welcoming, motivated, always ready to help and inform you.
Concerning the rooms: comfortable bedding, clean, wooden floor, fully equipped with very nice bathroom.
Plenty of small details added in the room, flower petals on the bed and in the bathroom, fresh fruit basket available and not to mention a large bouquet of flowers with a delicate fragrance creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It's a big surprise because very unexpected in a 3-star hotel.
Concerning the services: the staff really cares of the clients, I rarely had a service of such high quality even in hotels more luxurious.
The manager understands that to attract customers, it was necessary to bring a personal touch, professionalism which is so uncommon in Vietnam.
An airport shuttle can be arranged at reception.
The suite with balcony 75USD (1.600.000vnd) per night including breakfast.
Prices quite high for a 3-star hotel comparing to the Hanoi Chic hotel, the Hanoi Glance Hotel or even the Viet View Hotel.
Megavina's Investigators have visited this 3-star hotel, they tested a room, the main services and facilities, they checked the cleanliness and how the staff interacted with clients. Our investigators work anonymously, the best way to get real and objective reviews because the staff and the managers don't know that we are investigating.
- by Megavina Travel - Establishment visited March 10, 2015 - Content updated August 13, 2016.
Prices are higher than in most of the 3-star establishments but it's difficult to tell you why. The staff is very caring, they will guide you for your visits in the best places to see in Hanoi city. Special attention in the rooms is exceptional for this type of hotel (flower petals, fruit basket, balloons for birthday...), it is rare to have so many attentions. The reception staff speaks English and Vietnamese.
We regret the lack of windows in some rooms and the noise. The room soundproofing of the hotel is very bad, we don't understand that they built the hotel without thinking of the soundproofing. At 5:30 am, some clients may be bothered by the noise of the street, if the Vietnamese get up very early, this is not the case for tourists.
The hotel elevator stopped at the 6th floor. Our room was on the eighth floor so we had to to walk up their staircases and aisle without air conditioning, it was particularly hot and tiring.
Concerning the restaurant, it was too small, only five tables, breakfast was amazing and the staff lovely, helpful and polite.
The breakfast had a selection of very different dishes (Japanese, Mexican, western ...) from a menu like in a restaurant. This is not bad because everyone can eat what he wants depending on his mood, his hunger and desires.
The Meracus Hotel 2 is located in the Old Quarter, a 5-minute walk from the famous Thang Long Puppet Theatre on the water. You can reach the Noi Bai International Airport in 45 minutes by car.
You'll love the French restaurant, La Verticale, managed by the chef Didier Corlou or the Millennium Cafe des Arts offering an epicurean menu for lovers of good food.
Vietnamese cuisine lovers will enjoy the Bun Cha Hang Manh and for Indian cuisine tasters, the Khazaana Indian Halal.

Donald Trump Falls in Love with Hillary Clinton: A Hypothetical Astrological Study
by Dadhichi Toth, the Irreverent Astrologer
Both arch rivals on the political front and in the trenches of warfare for the presidency of the United States in 2016, it's interesting to see what might have been had Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton thrown down their word-weapons, high fived and made up. No, better still, passionately embraced with a tender French kiss and then made hot, frenzied love in the bedroom. Naturally that would mean erasing their past as political foes. And speaking of the past, going back even further, what a curiosity to rewind the clock back to say, their college days to hypothetically see what might have happened had Donald and Hillary actually fallen in love.
It's hard to imagine them as a power celebrity couple in the vein of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, AKA Branjelina. Had their theoretical love affair taken off, destiny would have been weirdly different. Instead of Branjelina we'd be reading headlines with the alternative most talked about name in tabloid gossip – Dillary. Well, as famous American baseball player Yogi Berra's used to say: the future 'aint what it used to be!
You can imagine them in the throes of passionate horizontal dancing exchanging notes on her lost emails and his supposedly surreptitious photograph: a shot of him dressed as a Cossack on one of his secret undercover missions to the Kremlin, papaha ( Russian hat ) in hand, petitioning Vladimir Putin for campaign funds. The only way either of them could possibly extract the truth out of each other over the long drawn-out tit-for-tat news headlines is sex. Dillary sex that is. Or perhaps under these new heights of sensual imagination a more appropriate name would be Hump? Who's you papaha now Hillary?
Of course, this is all conjecture so really, what do their horoscopes say? Would there have been a possibility for these two to click? Let's take a look at the key factors which make up a successful relationship, especially a sexually intimate one according to astrology. How compatible would Donald and Hillary have been romantically? Would the Dillary glam couple survive and surpass the Branjelina phenonemon? Let's see!
To find out about your romantic prospects check out your astrology love and compatibility here
Sex. Nasty sex.
Although there's more to a relationship than sex, it's pretty important you'd have to agree. The eighth house of the horoscope indicates how couples interact sexually. The natural rulers of the eighth house of the Zodiac are Mars and Pluto and here we see an extraordinary combination with Hillary's Mars, Pluto and Saturn near Donald's Mars and Pluto. There's only one way this sexual relationship's going to work – and that's with loads of leather, whips, bondage and reciprocal pain. You can hear the yelps from here.
We mustn't forget the quaint little Kubrickian Eyes-Wide-Shut masks – the perfect little cherry to top off their Humpy buckskin fashion statement. I suspect this power couple, both having deep longings to dominate others would need to share their BDSM love trysts in an equally passionate measure. Being politicians they'd make use of their exceptional diplomatic scheduling as well. What an ideal opportunity to beat the shit out of each other on alternative nights. Now that's what you call a mutual relationship based on agony.
Judging from this combination their sexual pleasure would come less from sex rather than tearing the flesh off each other, along with other really nasty pastimes. Scorpio is Hillary's ascendant and with that secretive, nippy sign ruling Donald's fourth house of hearth and home you can only start to imagine the dark and dingy basement where twilight sex frolics might take place. This would be more like a musty smelling dungeon than anything else. Dangling chains from the damp ceiling, colourful rainbow ropes, handcuffs, slavery tape, self-adhering strapping, knives and dental toolsets neatly, almost obsessively laid out on a spotless, stainless steel surgical bench with all sorts of other groovy tools of pain to delectably inflict upon each other. Perhaps Stanley Kubrick cast the wrong couple when he did Eyes Wide Shut. You can see how Donald and Hillary may well have replaced Tom and Nicole. They wouldn't have even had to act out their fantasies. Kubrik could have simply rolled the camera and presto, a blockbuster movie to outshine even the lustiest Kim Kardashian YouTube encounter.
This would be more like a musty smelling dungeon than anything else.

Emotions we all thought they didn't have
Figure 3 shows the dual horoscope wheel with the Moon in the fifth house of Donald's love affairs. This is where we get into the emotional compatibility. Hillary's Moon sits at an almost perfect square to his Moon while also becoming unhinged in its square to retrograde Uranus. Dear God, what an erratic combo! Yes, apart from the erotic, this one's totally erratic. What's more, her Uranus also deranges Donald's Moon by direct opposition, and closely at that. This doesn't make for a particularly stable emotional life and the Moon which rules general daily affairs will create pretty extreme outbursts from both. Think Trump-Clinton debates playing out over and over again ad nauseam in Groundhog Day fashion as their emotional life together.
Uranus is well known as the planet precipitating unexpected ups and downs. Looks like a big black mark against the dynamic Dillary duo, emotionally speaking.
Donald's Uranus is in quincunx to Hillary's ascendant and to a close degree, and the North node isn't far off either. Hillary's Uranus looks like it decided to repay Donald with interest by sextiling his ascendant and Mars. Talk about a pyrotechnics relationship! But then again, that's the malicious and vindictive Scorpio in Hillary coming out. Tinder on a hot summer's day waiting to be ignited. There would never be a dull moment in the Hump relationship. But then again, with these astrological combinations, there'd never be any peace either.
Communistication
By far however most important thing in a relationship is communication because without that you pretty much have nothing. Mercury is the predominant planet of communication. In Donald's horoscope the co-ruler of his marital house Saturn is located on the 12th house of secrets. Usually, this means that your partner or lover will ultimately become your secret enemy. Perhaps you wouldn't have to worry about the CIA taking out Donald on contract because you'd no without a doubt that ruthless Hillary would be ready to do the job for free from right there under the sheets in the bedroom. She may be married to him but why let an institution get on the road of a little murderous fun right?
Donald's Mercury is in the sign of Cancer, a movable sign indicating his changeable mental state and how easily his emotions, especially his anger, rise to the surface and come into play. On the other hand, Hillary has Mercury in the secretive and vindictive sign of Scorpio. Although trining each other's star signs for Mercury, the orb of influence is a little wide. Have they been a little closer, they'd probably negotiate a pretty good contract in which their marriage would allow them the benefits of any other normal conjugal couple without the necessity to actually talk to each other. Hilary would be scathing in her attacks and relentless in her detective-like interrogations which Scorpio is notorious for. Furthermore, with Hilary's Mercury in conjunction with Venus in Scorpio she would learn to become adept at reading beautiful poetry while she tortured poor Donald.
There is hope yet if Hillary can somehow develop a taste for Twitter, who knows, the two might just start to have a decent sort of relationship based on meaningful tweets. Donald can't help himself and let the cat out of the bag about what they see going on between him and Hillary. Check out some of his latest tweets. If you thought his love affair with Kim Jong-un was intense take a look at these:
Donald J Hump
@DonaldHump
Hillary, where's the f&*$ing leather whip?
I've been looking everywhere for it. You used
it on me last night remember?
You can tell he's trying to develop better communication with Hillary and sharpening his lovemaking techniques but it all seems to keep coming back to sex. As an example, look at his tweet regarding Al Franken:
The Al Frankenstein picture is really bad,
speaks a thousand words. Where do his
hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 while
she sleeps?
Hilary would be scathing in her attacks and relentless in her detective-like interrogations which Scorpio is notorious for. Furthermore, with Hilary's Mercury in conjunction with Venus in Scorpio she would learn to become adept at reading beautiful poetry while she tortured poor Donald.
The intense conjunction of Pluto and Mars in Hillary's professional sector making a right angle to Donald's rising Pluto it means they would both be constantly vying for attention and taking centre stage in any social setting. Talk about a relationship of one-upmanship. This would be a case of perpetual undercurrents of non-verbal tension between the two. Can you imagine them even sparing any time for each other with obsessive workaholism at the heart of their personalities? There's always a diplomatic cocktail party of course.
Wait, isn't there any redeeming astrological feature whatsoever between these two? Are Donald and Hillary, destined for the trash heap like millions of other couples who comprise the 50% plus in the divorce courts? For a moment we had such high expectations of the Dillary-Hump relationship only to find it now deprecated to Hillary-Dump status by astrology! You could perhaps look at the concessional sextile of Hillary's Neptune to Donald's Moon which reflects their wildest imagination at the heart of this relationship but that would probably only further fuel the BDSM signature of this unlikely pair and nothing else.
Having her scorpion pincers manicured every so often also doesn't hurt and makes her less likely to at least appear not to nip too hard. If he could only shut his mouth this power couple would probably do well in social circles but Donald would have to stay on his leash to make any sort of impression.
Venus is the planet relating to social activities and in Donald's chart is in the 12th house while Hillary's Venus is in her rising sign. Donald's 12th house position doesn't make it easy for him to be too easily liked by the general public and his bombastic, ascending Mars in Leo pushes people away with his divine-right-of-kings attitude ( now you know why he loves all the gold trimmings: must be a throwback to James VI of Scotland who wrote the texts to deify a king ). Hillary has a little more charm and grace with Venus and Mercury in conjunction. Having her scorpion pincers manicured every so often also doesn't hurt and makes her less likely to at least appear not to nip too hard. If he could only shut his mouth this power couple would probably do well in social circles but Donald would have to stay on his leash to make any sort of impression.
Eastern Vedic Compatibility
Before we go any further it might be well worth mentioning that Eastern Vedic astrology also has a spin on how compatible couples are, not just on the physical plane but on the level of electromagnetic and spiritual compatibility as well. This is done by studying the lunar stars of both and ascertaining the distance between these two points in their horoscopes. In short, it's proposed that there are no less than 10 points of agreement which can be gauged from this single component in the horoscope. This is called Dash-Koota Compatibility and although these points are not exhaustive, they can give a fairly accurate assessment of whether the relationship can pass the test of time.
These are the ten considerations necessary to assess the suitability of a proposed marriage and family life. Out of these ten considerations, at least five must be favourable for the couple to be compatible.
1. Luck
Due to an unfavourable financial interactions, there' s a tendency to disagreement in the relationship. It also brings less good fortune.
2. Finance and wealth
The spiritual grades of the bridegroom and of the bride are at odds which is fatal, the marriage will prove harmful to both. This incompatibility factor will reduce wealth in marriage.
3. Attachment to each other
There is lack of compatibility in this respect. It will cause less well-being and attachment in the relationship
4. General welfare
The asterism of the bridegroom is beyond the 13th asterism from that of the bride, causing compatibility in this regard. This will promote welfare
5. Sexual
The copulatory organs according to Vedic astrology are different but not hostile, so sexual compatibility is of a medium nature. This one didn't see the bondage red flags did it?
6. Family and domestic
The Moon sign of the Donald is in the 10th from that of Hillary which is promising; the couple will develop wealth together. It also indicates growth of the family so had they been a unit we have to wonder what the kids would look like.
7. Food and sensual enjoyment
The lords of the Moon signs are mutual enemies, which is very inauspicious.
8. Posterity
The Moon sign of the bridegroom and that of the bride, are not concordant either way; this will diminish harmony between the couple. It also doesn't favour the development of posterity.
9. Felicity
The Rajju's of the bride and groom are different. This enhances the compatibility, brings felicity in married life and immunity from widowhood.
The lunar stars of the couple aren't repellent. There is compatibility in this regard; it gives many children. Ass Hillary is pro multi-cultural she has no problem integrating all sorts of ethnic groups into what she's proud to call an 'extended' family philosophy.
1. Male/Female
The lunar stars of Donald and Hillary are respectively female and male, which is not supposed to be good.
2. Lineage
The lineages of the Donald and the Hillary are different, which enhances the compatibility.
3. Social echelon
The echelons of the lunar signs cause compatibility.
Total matching Points : 23.5 out of a possible 36 points which is considered acceptable, would you believe? Not quite 60% – passable but not great.
You can wake up now!
The beautiful thing about this conjectural piece is that just as at the outset we travelled back in time to see what might have been, we can just as easily fast forward, the same way Michael J Fox did in Back to the Future to wake up from this ghastly nightmare. That cringing feeling, heart palpitation and slight tremor you're feeling right now will pass, rest assured. What's even scarier though is the thought that if this power couple were indeed a reality could you imagine the two of them in the White House? Simultaneously? As if one wasn't enough. Shit.

Nina Robinson Named NJCAA Women's Basketball DIII POTW
BROCKTON, Mass. ---- It's been a big week for the Massasoit women's basketball team and the accolades keep pouring in as sophomore forward Nina Robinson (Virginia Beach, Va./Green Run HS) was named the most recent NJCAA Division III Player of the Week (Dec. 3-9) on Wednesday.
Robinson posted a pair of double-doubles in leading Massasoit to a pair of road victories last week. The sophomore was a presence in the post as the Warriors are a perfect 10-0 on the season and moved up from No. 4 to No. 1 in the most recent national poll.
Robinson started the week with a 22-point, 14-rebound effort on the road at then No. 7 UConn-Avery Point. She followed that outing up with a career-high 30 points and 15 boards in a victory at Quinsigamond.
The sophomore shot 63.1 percent from the floor, making 24 of 38 shots and averaged 26 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 steals for the week.
Robinson becomes the second Massasoit women's basketball student-athlete to garner the weekly award this season, joining teammate Ky'Jae Hargrove (Nov. 5-11).
Massasoit hosts Gateway CC on Thursday at 5:30 PM.

When I first read David Whyte's poem "Sometimes" in all its beautiful simplicity, I realized that it describes an experience I've had from time to time walking in the woods.
Sometimes, as I rest in nature's beauty, all my urgent questions go away — a lovely experience, but one that provides only temporary relief.
At other times, as the poem says, I come to a place where my questions come back — questions about how I am living my life, questions I ignore at my peril.
I mean questions like these: Why do you stay "hooked" on concerns that would disappear in an instant if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? Knowing that you will "die tomorrow" — whether tomorrow is 24 hours or 20 years from now — why don't you shake off those worries and embrace whatever brings new life to you and the people around you?
That's what I'm doing even as I write this!

EMERGING CUISINES: North African Crossroads
By Restaurant Business Staff on Jun. 01, 2008
The strategic location of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria along the North African coast has played a major role in their culinary legacy. Although the three countries—collectively referred to as the Maghreb—each boasts its own traditions, they share influences from the Middle East, Mediterranean region, colonial France and the rest of Africa.
When the Arab conquerors brought Islam to the area in the 8th century, the inhabitants were mostly Berbers, Moors and nomadic tribes. French, Italian and Spanish settlers followed, including an influx of Sephardic Jews. Throughout these years, the spice trade route from Asia through Africa to Europe also made its mark. Cumin, coriander, saffron, ginger, cinnamon and red pepper are tops on the spice shelf. These seasonings, along with the sun-drenched desert environs and colorful indigenous ingredients, flavor North African cooking with vibrancy and diversity.
In America, restaurants offering the cuisine are not plentiful, but more places open every year, with Moroccan eateries in the lead. Among the pioneers is Marrakesh at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. "Moroccan food is catching on because it's flavorful and based on healthy ingredients, including grains, olive oil and leaner proteins mixed with vegetables and fruits," says executive chef Somad Benzari. "Plus, Morocco is known for its hospitality; we love to receive guests."
About 80 percent of the Marrakesh menu focuses on authentic Moroccan dishes, prepared according to ancient traditions. Among the signatures are Lamb Couscous, composed of braised lamb shank with caramelized onions, raisins and vegetables; M'Rouzia, beef top round with toasted almonds, hard-cooked eggs and steamed couscous; and Chicken Tagine. While chef Benzari takes advantage of local produce from Florida, he sources 99 percent of his pantry staples from Morocco, purchasing from International Gourmet in Washington, D.C., Swiss Chalet and Sysco.
Certain techniques and ingredients are essential to the correct execution of the menu. Ras el hanout, a spice blend, is made from closely guarded recipes. Although Benzari often makes his own, the pre-blended product combines pepper, wildflowers, belladonna and other "secret" ingredients. And to replicate the tender Lamb Meshoui, which Moroccans take to the village baker's oven to cook, the chef gently roasts the meat in its natural juices.
At the 100-seat Andalous in Chicago, owner Mohammed Akaahrir, better known as "Hadj," employs four Moroccan women to "honor" the home cooking of his country. His most "famous" dish is Pastilla or Basteeya—paper-thin layers of phyllo filled with minced chicken, fish or vegetables mixed with almonds, eggs, saffron, parsley and coriander, then dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Andalous' Couscous Royale also draws the crowds. It features merquez, chicken, beef and lamb with chunks of zucchini, turnips, carrots, onions and eggplant. Guests add fiery harissa to taste from a bowl set on the table; it's hand-blended in the kitchen. Also made in-house are preserved lemons cured in salt—another key ingredient.
"I travel to Morocco at least once a year to pick up ingredients and equipment, like spices and clay tagines," says Hadj. To stock up in between, his brother-in-law mails out essentials. Items such as lentils, chickpeas, orange blossom water and couscous come from Zaid Brothers, an Arab wholesaler in Chicago. Mint tea—the beverage of choice—is sourced from a local Vietnamese supplier. "Real Moroccan tea is too strong for Americans," Hadj claims. He brews his from green tea, mint leaves, orange blossom water, sheba (an Israeli herb) and a little sugar.
While neighborhood spots like Andalous build their reputations on home-style food, customers come to Aziza in San Francisco for Moroccan cuisine with upscale, contemporary California touches. At the helm is chef-owner Mourad Lahlou, a Moroccan native who turned to cooking while he was pursuing his PhD in economics in the States. "I was homesick for my food, so I tried to re-create the exact dishes I had eaten growing up," Lahlou explains. "When I couldn't find all the ingredients I needed, I started to improvise. Eventually, I found that some Moroccan recipes made more sense when they were modernized."
A good example is his Lamb Shank with Barley and Spiced Prunes. It's derived from a nomadic preparation of stewed lamb; the honey and spices preserved the lamb so it could be carried through the desert. "I loved this dish but it was too sweet. Plus, we now have refrigeration to keep meat from spoiling," Lahlou notes. His version is infused with just a shadow of sweetness and boasts a more elegant presentation. Ditto for the Squab with hon shimeji mushrooms and thyme-ras el hanout. He debones the bird, pan sears the breast, confits the leg and makes a sauce with the carcass.
Lahlou takes extra care with his couscous, served with chicken, prawns and lamb. He not only hand-rolls the semolina every day, he cooks each vegetable individually to retain its integrity. Choices vary with the seasons, ranging from zucchini to rutabaga and sugar snap peas. California farms and ranches supply organic produce and free-range meats, but specialty items are imported.
Algerian and Tunisian dishes come into play at New York City's Nomad. "My menu represents a triangle—ingredients from North Africa, foods from America and French presentation," says Algerian-born owner, Mehenni Zebentout. His kitchen serves up original takes on classics. These include a whole-wheat Couscous with baby carrots, fava beans and a free-range egg; Barley Couscous with grilled quail; Seafood Tajine (a.k.a. tagine) with calamari, shrimp, mussels and fish stewed in charmoula (a garlicky herb and spice marinade) and Grilled Merguez served with an Algiers salad (tomato, cucumber, beets and greens).
The small plates and meze selection show influences from the Turks and French—both of whom occupied Algeria—as well as Senegal and other African neighbors. Both the briwats and boureks under this heading are enclosed in flaky phyllo; the former are shaped in triangles and stuffed with seafood, chicken or spinach, while the latter are cigar-shaped and filled with lamb or oxtail (Nomad's twist). The restaurant's Brik features tuna, capers, potato and egg. "The Tunisian brik [phyllo] sheets have tiny holes so they bake up crisper," says Zebentout. He purchases these from Baroody Imports in New Jersey, a Lebanese and Indian supplier. He also sources from Sahadi, a Middle Eastern mecca in Brooklyn, as well as Restaurant Depot and area farmers' markets. These purveyors sell the honey, olives, olive oil, couscous, almonds, dates and other dried fruits that his kitchen requires. "The economy is forcing me to shop around and I often drive to pick up my orders," Zebentout reports.

Rice is such a fun textured and sensory way to play. Learn how to dye rice that kids can enjoy or to be used as filler for vases and decor. You can make a rainbow rice, galaxy rice or any number of color combinations without vinegar and its perfect for a sensory table .
Making colored rice to store and display or for play is really fun and surprisingly easy. The key is to get the right color saturation and let your rice dry in full before any handling of it or you will end up dying your fingers.
You will need to create inside a zipped bag to really move around the dye and keep your fingertips dye free.
Of course MomDot loves fun messy recipes, so make sure you learn how to make slime, visit rainbow slime and unicorn poop slime, and create a batch of edible playdough. There is nothing more fun than getting your hands a bit dirty for a great Saturday afternoon.
Place 1/2 cup of rice into a resealable sandwich bag.
Add food coloring to rice and seal bag.
Knead the rice and mix with your hands until completely coated.
Dry your rice on a baking sheet lined with foil for about 1-2 hours, stirring ever 30 minutes so you can make sure that the rice on the bottom also gets dried.
You can also set in the oven on a low setting or of course set outside in the sun.
Just remember, if you play with wet rice you will get it on everything.
Which might be fun until it dyes your floor, clothes, towels…haha.
Now you can set your rice into a bin or Tupperware container if its play time.
I love to store colored rice for decor on shelves and made this super cute galaxy rice jar.
All you have to do is layer your rice and put glitter between the layers. It looks so pretty!
Remember once the kids get a hold of it and mix the colors, it will become rainbow rice, so you may want to make extra and store in separate containers if they love to mix and match.
