Writing is the journey that is so unknown

Author Nedim Gürsel in front of readers with his novel Son Yolcu. Gursell says, "You may have a project or design when you start writing, but when you write, that text creates its own reality and takes you away."
Oguz Alkan
Of man The purpose is thisPerhaps one of the problems he failed to address was dealing with the past or trying to explain himself. Considering how prone we are to our own side, we can argue that any narrative about the past deserves some consideration. His latest novel, The Last Traveler, with Nedim Garsell, which contains various autobiographical elements, is a fictional text where autobiographical elements predominate, but the author does not claim objectivity. We had a pleasant conversation with Nedim Garsell about The Last Passenger, the city and the place.
Oguz Alkan: We have a text that draws on mythology, geography and history and connects them and his personal life. According to your definition in the book, it is a genre between autobiography and fiction. First of all, would you like to define and explain this clause a bit?
Nedim Gursel: The Last Passenger is my new novel. A novel where author Deniz is at the center of Kaki's narrative. But it is also a breakdown in the life of author Nedim Garcel. For this reason, there are also autobiographical elements. We can call it autofiction, we can translate it into Turkish as self-fiction. I accept the Turkish equivalent as fiction. It is also called editing, but editing is the equivalent of montage. The point here is self-imagination.
It is not easy for the reader to determine where the autobiography ends and where the fiction begins. This is the kind of diversion that the author offers to the reader. In that sense, we are faced with a self-deprecating text. It's not exactly autobiographical. Because the autobiography is like an agreement between the writer and the reader. The author promises to tell the reader the truth about his own life. He may not tell all the facts of his life, but what he says must be true. But this is where fiction comes into play.
On this occasion you are avoiding this responsibility …
Yes, another species originated here. I tried it, your point is correct.
An interesting thing for me is: the author of the book, Deniz Chacki, will be coming to Istanbul soon and will be shooting with French television. There was also a situation you reported to me while trying to set a date for our interview with you. In other words, you said you would come to Istanbul for a short time and shoot with French television. In this case, it has been an interesting experience for me.
Here's what happened: When I was writing The Last Passenger, I didn't get any recommendation from French television. I totally imagine this. I thought that if Nedim Gursel's documentary and Nedim Gursel's Istanbul were shot with a television crew, I could also criticize today's ideology of victory in the novel. Oddly enough, I received this documentary recommendation a week before The Last Passenger was released. It was a kind of prophecy or prophecy. The point of attraction, which I have tried to describe in the novel as fiction or conjecture, has come true. Sometimes that happens. The stories told in the novel can be felt in real life. Let me close this bracket now. Now let's come to another topic.
Reaching the age of one, I wanted to make a break in my life. Of course, this is a very difficult thing. You can't cast your whole life. You can't go into all the details. Previously, I have tried to make a list of my childhood in my novel 'Selim Bir Kavusak'. My "Captain's Son" novel is basically a break from the boarding day I went to high school in Galatasaray. But in The Last Passenger, I wanted to break down some kind of balance sheet. I wanted to talk about the geography that determined me and some of the events that affected me.
AI would like to get on track and ask: Can we say that the main content of the book is a father-son conflict, considering it is a kind of autobiography? On the other hand, a journey between Istanbul and Paris. Maybe we can consider it as exile. And of course, the various historical and geographical elements with all this …
I have an account with my father because my father Orhan Gursell was a French teacher. I lost him at a very young age. He died in a car accident at the age of 38. He was translating something from French. He translated Henry Troit's Lying Light, as I explained in the novel. Then I dreamed that in Paris she was dying at the hands of her boyfriend, I put it this way in the novel… the father's character is important to me because I didn't recognize him very well. As if I continued his unfinished business. If it weren't for that, I don't think I'd be a writer either. I remember what he typed on his typewriter. He bought himself a Remington typewriter. Then I started writing with that typewriter. So, I tried to build the past with this kind of material.
Deniz Chuckie spoke not only to the living and to the dead, but also to his lover, Songul, or his wife Penelope, of Greek descent. She talks to her mother Emin Chakir and she talks to her father Derin Chakir. So there is a dialogue that goes back and forth. But there is a dialogue that takes place not only in reality, but also in other worlds, and there are references to myths. Greek mythology is important to me, especially the image of Odysseus. Odysseus is a personality I am familiar with. In this case, I can say that I prefer Odysseus more than Iliad. The female figure waiting for Penelope is in the novel. In Odysseus' repatriation novel, Deniz's job can be perceived as returning to his homeland.
I think from this metaphor of "returning home" we can connect with the songul character. Sangul is a character that writer Deniz Chakar met at the Diarbakir Book Fair. A love affair begins between them, but this relationship seems to represent some of the newly discovered problems of geography and your ideas in this context.
The Last Passenger actually speaks of a journey that took place on the Paris-Istanbul route. Deniz Çakır is the man who made this journey. Since the author Deniz Chacki also wrote a travel book, he has visited many countries and even has memories of the countries he flew to. In other words, Swiss airspace, especially Paris, is a direct witness to the Sarajevo blockade of Serbia. During the bombing in Sarajevo, he described his impressions in his book, Back to the Balkans. He also has a journey where he discovers Eastern Anatolia and Kurdish identity.
Sangul's response to the Deniz job: "You can see what's happening in Balkan geography, but you can't see what's happening in your own country." He has a critical speech. If we go back to the beginning and consider the autobiographical character of the narrative, is it self-criticism?
I don't know if it can be defined as self-criticism. Because a writer cannot be the owner of all lawsuits and all political issues, but he can take a position. And his works may have a message about this attitude. But in the end it is a novel, an autobiographical novel. Of course, there is some self-criticism here. Because I lived it. Such a warning came to me. But I never thought I would be able to write a novel based on it. Because writing is an unknown process. You may have a project or a design when you start writing, but when you write, that text, that description creates its own reality and takes you. Like the Tigris River. That's how the relationship between Songül and Deniz Çakir took me.
In one of your interviews, you said that you first experienced a forced deportation and then voluntary deportation. Between Istanbul and Paris. Can you open a little here? At the very least, I think readers want to know something about the essence of your own exile.
My trip to Paris was not a choice at first, but a necessity. I graduated from Galatasaray High School in 1970. After graduating from school, there was a memorandum on March 12 and at that time, People's Friends Magazine was published. I wrote an article in this journal, published by Ataol Behramoğlu and smet Özel, and wrote a review of Lenin and Gorky, and the investigation was started against me because the prosecutor demanded 12 years imprisonment. Because of an article… Then I went to Paris. When Ecevit came to power in 1973, a general amnesty was issued. My case also fell. Therefore, I have been able to go to Turkey for seventy three years. But I continued my studies in modern French literature at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Then I saved my PhD.
After defending my PhD in comparative literature, I returned to Turkey. So I had no desire to stay in Paris. This time Kenan hit Everest. On September 12, my book 'A Long Summer' was confiscated. Dr. accused of insulting the state security forces. However, when I was a young writer with this first book, I received the award from a very important organization in 1976, when I was twenty-five years old, and this award was given to me by the then President, former Admiral Fahri Koruturk. Despite this, a case has been filed against me for insulting the army. After that, I returned to Paris and settled there. So it wasn't a choice at first, it was a necessity. Then it turned into an election. Now I can often go to Turkey. But I have become a little Parisian.
How do you evaluate the point that Turkish literature has reached today? Do you have any authors to follow closely?
Of course there are, but I can't say that I follow young writers too much. I got to know more writers of my generation and my earlier writers. Sait Faik, for example, impressed me a lot. I tried to enter his world. I wrote a book about it, "The Author of Loneliness." I worked on Nazim Hikmet, wrote a review. Ece Ayhan was a poet that was interesting to me. I tested it. I have followed the writers of my generation closely. Enis Batur, Mario Levy, Nekati Tosunar … I can name many more. But because of my job, I no longer do pleasure reading, but do homework reading. For example, I read a lot of Diyarbakir books to include Diyarbakir in The Last Traveler. Therefore, I cannot follow young writers as closely as they deserve. But let me make an observation. There are several women writers. A Hallid Oedipus has been known since the Republican era. Among my previous generations, names like Leila Erbil, Sevgi Soysal, Gulten Akin can be counted. But I see many women writers of this new generation. I think this development is positive. As a male writer I am curious about the world of women. Sometimes the look I give them is masculine, if not misogynistic. Because of this, I think seeing their world enriches and develops me.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) -- Indian government forces fired at protesters in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Monday, killing a young man and wounding at least 14 others, officials said, as fighting continued between rebels and troops.
Indian troops cordoned off southern Drubgam village early Monday following a tip that rebels were hiding there, police said.
As fighting between the troops and rebels raged, anti-India residents tried to march to the site to help the trapped militants escape, leading to clashes between the rock-throwing villagers and government forces who fired live ammunition, shotgun pellets and tear gas.
At least 15 residents were reported injured in the clashes, including a young man who was hit by bullets and died in a hospital.
During the intense fighting, an army helicopter hovered over the area to coordinate the operation with ground troops, officials said.
Police said the fighting was continuing and at least two soldiers had been injured.
In recent years, Kashmiris, mainly youths, have displayed open solidarity with rebels and sought to protect them by engaging troops in street clashes during military operations. Last year at least 29 civilians were killed and hundreds wounded during such clashes.
A new generation of Kashmiri rebels, especially in the southern parts of the disputed region, has revived the militancy and challenged New Delhi's rule with guns and effective use of social media.
Rebels have been fighting Indian rule since 1989, demanding Indian-controlled Kashmir be made part of Pakistan or become an independent country. India accuses Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, a charge Pakistan denies.
Most Kashmiris support the rebels' cause while also participating in civilian street protests against Indian control.

Iran posts ambassador in rebel-held Yemeni capital
Hassan Eyrlou, Iran's new ambassador to Yemen has arrived to the Houthi rebel-held Sanaa, the country's foreign ministry said.

Tehran's new ambassador to Yemen has arrived in the rebel-held capital of the war-torn country, the Iranian foreign ministry said Saturday, five years after the last ambassador departed.
"Hassan Eyrlou... ambassador for the Islamic Republic of Iran in Yemen, has arrived in Sanaa," foreign ministry spokesman Said Khatibzadeh told the Fars news agency.
"He has presented his letters of credentials to Mehdi al-Mashat, head of Yemen's supreme political council," he added, referring to an executive body formed by Houthi rebels.
Iran backs the Houthis in Yemen's civil war against an internationally recognised government that is supported by a Saudi-led military coalition.
The recognised government has been based in Yemen's second city, Aden, for the past five years, after the Houthis seized the capital.
Eyrlou's predecessor left Sanaa in September 2015 and in October last year Iran's foreign ministry said the process of sending a new ambassador was hindered by "attacks on the embassy".

Iran is the only country to hold diplomatic relations with the Houthis.
Fars did not specify when or how the ambassador had reached Sanaa, but the announcement came shortly after more than 1,000 prisoners were freed in a landmark exchange between the warring sides in Yemen.

An addition in February to Aristocrat's growing online slots portfolio was More Hearts, a game that has already proven popular in land based casinos. The name might suggest a romantic element to the game, but it is hard to work out what exactly the theme is when you see wild animals and gem stones on the reels. Let's just assume it is to do with things that lots of people love.
I mean, we all know someone that loves birds and lions right? Ok, we'll go with that angle then! Add 5 Extra Paylines Although this slot is quite unique, it does have similarities to the very popular More Chilli slot , which has also been released online.
My advice is to take the extra lines as they will increase the RTP by an extra few percent, giving you more winning possibilities. You will be awarded 15 free spins if you chose the extra 5 paylines , but here is where the game differs from most normal Aristocrat slots. The screen will then be divided into four, with two games running simultaneously.
A third game will open if you manage to land 9 hearts within the free spins and forth will open should you land If you manage to do it in quick succession you could have four games running free spins, even better if the bonus re-triggers! Anyone that has played any of the multi-game cabinets in the casino will know this can be quite rewarding at times. There are a few misses with the More Hearts slot though. Firstly, the stacked hearts symbols do nothing during normal play, which is quite annoying.
Also there is little reward for landing more than three scatters, when really you should be getting extra free spins. However, I do think it is an excellent slot and I would recommend you at least give it a go if you are a fan of the games produced by Aristocrat. More Hearts slot review An addition in February to Aristocrat's growing online slots portfolio was More Hearts, a game that has already proven popular in land based casinos.


From the Fung Brothers on YouTube, who are well-integrated Asian-American youths in Los Angeles, USA. What they say "Asian," they actually mean "Asian-American." Very funny videos, but these also give others an insight into the intensively cliquish youth scene in Asian-American communities.
These "Types of Asians" in the 2 videos are really just urban cliques and youth subcultures. Winston and I don't fit in any of these categories, and none of those types of women would vibe with us or be interested in us. So if you don't fit in, then prepare for a lonely existence.
However, when I went abroad, I did not find cliques (urban tribes) like these and felt far more welcome and integrated.
Which one(s) do you and Winston fall under?
Rock wrote: Which one(s) do you and Winston fall under?
As I said, we wouldn't fit in any of the categories above, which is why we don't fit into social circles in the US.
It's funny because I fit into neither any of those cliques and stereotypes.
And Rock, are you asking this question rhetorically, or do you actually think we can be fit into one of those categories? Monkro said that it's obvious I can't be slotted into any of them. But when shown the list, many Asian Americans (even Zboy) can instantly fit themselves into one of those.
The underlying point is that you're an outcast in the AA community if you're not one of those.
OK we might come close to the "nerd" category, but those are usually the narrow-minded math, hard science, and engineering types who make their parents happy, stick to comfort zones, and stay in small social circles.
On the other hand, it's not as easy to classify people into such discrete categories in rural Southeast Asia.
How are these stereotypes any different from a typical American of any other race? It looks very broad to me.
Exactly, great observation Ghost. Those DO in fact describe typical Americans of any other race.
Momopi, do you befriend these types of Asian Americans?
Do people need cliques out of fear of being alone?

True Terrain-Following Systems
Adding a Radar/Laser Altimetry unit to a drone enables it to precisely follow the terrain during the flight, based on the data received from the altimeter. In True Terrain-Following mode, the drone flies at low and constant AGL altitudes (up to 1 meter) without the need to import precise Digital Elevation Model (DEM) height-map.
Magnetometers and Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR) provide the ability to see below the ground. This useful feature has seen them gain wide use in mining, engineering, construction, and many other industries, even in archaeology. However, data this precise requires flying very close to the ground and maintaining a consistent height regardless of the terrain.
Usually, digital elevation model (DEM) data that represents the surface of the terrain is used for such purposes. However, this kind of data is not available for many remote areas, and when it is, it is often not accurate enough to fully realize the benefits of these technologies. For example, one of the best available commercial DEM data (WorldDEM) has a vertical precision of three meters. but if your mission the sensor needs to be two or even one meters above ground level, this data is simply of no use.
LiDAR seemingly offers a solution that creates extremely accurate terrain maps with a precision level of up to one centimeter; while the accuracy of the data sounds ideal, for a drone mission it also means a lot of wasted time. Missions based on LiDAR data have too many waypoints (we're talking hundreds and hundreds). Therefore following a LiDAR-mapped area of terrain precisely would involve flying over the area time and time again. And that's without mentioning the drain on the batteries.
Why not use actual terrain information instead of relying on sub-optimal pre-existing data? That was the game-changing thinking behind a new integration solution brought onto the market by SPH Engineering, which provides unmanned systems integration services and software development.
In Process Measurement By adding a proprietary onboard computer UgCS SkyHub and a radar altimeter to the drone carrying a Magnetometer or GPR (the feature is currently available for DJI M600/M600 Pro and M210/M210 v2 drones and can also be used with custom drones based on DJI A3 autopilot) SPH Engineering makes it possible to follow the terrain accurately without crowding the mission with too many waypoints and thus making it inefficient.
First, the radar altimeter gathers an uninterrupted data flow by measuring the distance to the surface of the terrain.
Second, the onboard computer adjusts the drone flight height accordingly. As it uses actual data, rather than pre-existing information, this mode is called True Terrain Following. True Terrain Following with One Click When combined with UgCS software add-ons, true terrain-following allows for hassle-free drone mission planning with immaculate flight height precision.
True Terrain Following mode requires no more than two waypoints on each survey line, thus sparing you from unnecessary interruptions to missions. The operator just needs to set the desired flight height and speed and activate the True Terrain Following mode. The rest of the work will be done automatically. How it Works The integrated system that enables the drone to fly in True Terrain Following consists of:
DJI M600/M600 Pro (incl.RTK)
DJI M210/M210 v2 (incl.RTK)
(coming soon) DJI M300
DJI A3 (custom built)
Pixhawk with ArduCopter
Radar altimeter (can be integrated for special applications)
Onboard computer UgCS SkyHub
Ground control software UgCS
One of the main components of the integrated system, enabling efficient survey planning is UgCS – flight planning software providing tools for easy creation and calculation of flight paths, and interpretation of acquired data in a user-friendly manner.
We approach every project as a partnership. It's our goal to develop solutions that directly meet the challenges of our clients operations. We achieve this by working alongside our clients to deliver tailored drone services that leverage the incredible potential of drone technology. Let's talk.

In Canada demand for puppies soars during pandemic, so do scams
Demand for puppies in Canada has soared during the pandemic, and scammers are taking advantage -- swindling hundreds of people looking for a pet to ease their loneliness during lockdown.
Vicki McKenzie with her family's new dog Oakley, is seen at home in L'Ange-Gardien, Quebec, on December 1, 2020. Demand for puppies has soared during the pandemic, and scammers are taking advantage -- swindling hundreds of Canadians looking for a pet to ease their loneliness during lockdowns.Vicki McKenzie wanted a dog for her 11-year-old daughter Oceane, who suffers from cerebral palsy. "Because she doesn't speak and can't run, it's hard for her to keep up with other 12-year-olds," McKenzie told AFP.(Michel COMTE / AFP)
Vicki McKenzie wanted a dog for her 11-year-old daughter Oceane, who suffers from cerebral palsy.
"Because she doesn't speak and can't run, it's hard for her to keep up with other 12-year-olds," McKenzie told AFP.
"So it meant a lot to the family to get a dog for her," she said.
After being on a waiting list for a service animal for more than four years, the family, which lives on a treed acreage in L'Ange-Gardien, Quebec, decided to try to find a dog that they could train themselves while in lockdown.
An ad for a Labrador-Retriever on Canadapups.com, however, turned out to be a scam that cost McKenzie Can$300 (US$232).
Oceane was inconsolable. "She cried a lot," McKenzie said.
The Canadian Kennel Club and animal shelters reported record levels of pet adoption applications this year.
The Toronto Humane Society, for example, received more than 10,000 calls in just the first six months of the pandemic.
"And we typically see interest in adoptions go up at Christmas," the society's Hannah Sotropa said. It re-homes an average of 3,000 animals per year.
Breeders' waiting lists, meanwhile, have swelled to more than two years. Several have stopped taking new applications for puppies.
"I normally get between two and seven calls a month for puppies. Lately it's been about seven to 15 calls a day," said Ontario breeder Carol Bodnieks of Newfhill Kennels.
- Dogs stolen at gunpoint -
At the same time, the number of available puppies plummeted due to pandemic measures curtailing access to stud services and veterinary care.
Some breeders had their identities stolen and used in scams. It also became a dangerous business, with two armed thefts of puppies reported in Toronto last month.
The high demand and low supply sent prices soaring, and created an opportunity for scammers to exploit, making animal adoption now the fastest growing online fraud in Canada, according to anti-fraud agencies.
"Some families turned to the internet to look for a pet, thinking a pandemic puppy or kitten would help ease some of the uncertainty. Many have come across scammers advertising animals that don't exist and are never shipped," Better Business Bureau spokeswoman Jessie St-Cyr said.
"Many victims," several of whom now work from home, she said, "wanted to adopt a puppy in order to ease their isolation and brighten their lives during the pandemic."
Public health measures to slow the spread of the Covid-19 illness, meanwhile, gave crooks the idea to ask for money up front and make excuses as to why buyers couldn't see a prospective pet in person.
Victims were often told that they needed to send money for special climate-controlled crates, insurance and a non-existent Covid-19 pet vaccine.
The Better Business Bureau and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received almost 500 complaints about puppy scams so far this year -- up more than three-fold from 2017, and representing one-quarter of all reported online scams.
Would-be buyers lost an average of Can$1,000 (US$775) each, according to an investigative study the Bureau released Wednesday.
- 'Our first puppy' -
McGowan Weddig of Guelph, Ontario said his family was "looking at getting our first puppy because we've only had goldfish in the past."
After answering an online ad, the family received documents that "looked perfectly legitimate." The scammers "checked all the right boxes" in terms of due diligence, Weddig said.
But, he concedes, "It was our first puppy so our emotions may have gotten in the way."
After realizing he'd been cheated, Weddig said: "I was mad because we're in the middle of a pandemic and some people are preying on others. I lost faith in people."
According to the Better Business Bureau study, some 80 percent of advertising links that appear in internet searches for pets "may be fraudulent."
They most often offer for sale Yorkshire Terriers or French Bulldogs.
Emails obtained by AFP show con men's hard sell tactics and feigned indignation when called out.
One such scam described Pomeranian puppies that were "guaranteed to be in good health" and coming with "all their papers."
The seller purportedly arranged shipping, but then claimed the dog missed its flight and asked for more money to rebook and for an overnight kennel stay near the airport.
After licking their wounds, McKenzie and Weddig eventually got puppies.
"It turned out well in the end," said McKenzie, as Oceane played nearby with frisky German Shepherd puppy Oakley.

John McCain diagnosed with brain cancer
By Max Greenwood - 07/19/17 08:08 PM EDT
Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainThe best way to handle veterans, active-duty military that participated in Capitol riot Cindy McCain on possible GOP censure: 'I think I'm going to make T-shirts' Arizona state GOP moves to censure Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake MORE (R-Ariz.) has been diagnosed with brain cancer, the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix said Wednesday.
The tumor was discovered after the senior Arizona senator underwent a minor procedure last week to remove a blood clot from above his left eye.
"Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot," the hospital said in a statement.
"The Senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team. Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation."
McCain's latest diagnosis is not his first battle with cancer. He underwent a procedure in 2000 to remove a type of skin cancer called melanoma from the left side of his face.
McCain, 80, also had a melanoma removed from his left arm in 2000 and another removed from his nose in 2002. Both were determined to be the least dangerous types of melanoma.
McCain's office said in a statement that the Arizona Republican remained in good spirits Wednesday and is confident that any treatments will be effective.
"He is in good spirits as he continues to recover at home with his family in Arizona," his office said.
"He is grateful to the doctors and staff at Mayo Clinic for their outstanding care, and is confident that any future treatment will be effective."
His office said further consultations with his doctors will determine when he will return to the Senate.
Sen. Lindsey Graham Lindsey Olin GrahamMcConnell about to school Trump on political power for the last time Additional airlines ban guns on flights to DC ahead of inauguration Graham congratulates former rival Harrison on being picked to lead DNC MORE (R-S.C.), a close friend of McCain's and one of his most ardent allies on Capitol Hill, spoke with the Arizona senator on Wednesday. He said they talked only briefly about McCain's diagnosis before shifting to a conversation about the Senate's healthcare reform efforts and the National Defense Authorization Act, the federal defense spending bill.
"Literally, it went five minutes until we turned away from what I think most people have a hard time absorbing and focused on what he loves the best," Graham told reporters after speaking with McCain.
The news of McCain's diagnosis prompted an immediate outpouring of support from fellow lawmakers.
"God knows how this ends, not me," Graham said. "But what I do know is this disease has never had a more worthy opponent."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellTrump seeks to freeze .4 billion of programs in final week of presidency McConnell about to school Trump on political power for the last time Murkowski blasts Trump's election claims, calls House impeachment appropriate MORE (R-Ky.) characterized McCain as a fighter, saying in a statement that "he will face this challenge with the same extraordinary courage that has characterized his life."
"John McCain is a hero to our Conference and a hero to our country. He has never shied away from a fight and I know he will face this challenge with the same extraordinary courage that has characterized his life," McConnell said in a statement. "The entire Senate family's prayers are with John, Cindy and his family, his staff, and the people of Arizona he represents so well."
Sen. John Cornyn John CornynMcConnell about to school Trump on political power for the last time Rick Scott will 'likely' join challenge to election results Former NY GOP gov calls election challenges 'grave threat to our freedom' MORE (Texas), the No. 2 Senate Republican, echoed McConnell's characterization of McCain and said the diagnosis was "just the latest challenge" for Arizona Republican.
John McCain has been a fighter all his life and this is just the latest challenge. We are praying for his speedy recovery.
— JohnCornyn (@JohnCornyn) July 20, 2017
McCain's eldest daughter, Meghan, a Fox News host, said in a statement that her father appeared to be the calmest family member upon receiving the diagnosis.
"It won't surprise you to learn that in all of this, the one of us who is the most confident and calm is my father," she said. "He is the toughest person I know."
President Trump issued a statement shortly after news of McCain's diagnosis broke, calling him a fighter and sending his family well wishes from the White House.
"Senator John McCain has always been a fighter," Trump said. "[First lady] Melania and I send our thoughts and prayers to Senator McCain, Cindy, and their entire family. Get well soon."
Former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaBiden's chief aide says president wants teams, no rivals Where is the campus debate on immigration? Gerald Ford Foundation urges 'dignified' presidential transition MORE, whom McCain ran against in the 2008 presidential election, called his former opponent "one of the bravest fighters" he has ever known, saying that "cancer doesn't know what it's up against."
John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 20, 2017
McCain was first elected to the House in 1982 and won a bid for the Senate just four years later.
Before entering Congress, McCain served in the U.S. Navy as a pilot. While fighting in the Vietnam War, he spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.

Attorney Mueller was driven to music as a child of just four years old. Since then, music has played a significant role in her life. At a young age, public performances as a pianist and a singer became an integral part of her everyday life. Her primary school education was focused on classical music, which Attorney Mueller graduated with a diploma in the field. She also spent time as a member of a band and accompanying concerts and choirs on the piano.
Mueller's musical passion has guided her throughout her life, later on leading her to pursue her career as a certified and self-employed attorney defending musicians and artists in the field of music law.
The term music law broadly refers to all legal provisions that deal with music. The field counts as an interdisciplinary sphere that constitutes a component of media law. In a narrower sense, the term covers only a section of the copyright law that pertains to music. "Music rights" are, in this regard, the individual copyrights on a piece of music.
A musical composition counts as a musical work and is therefore copyrighted and entitled to protection. This is governed internationally by Art. 2,Par. 1 of the Revised Berne Convention (RBC) which obliges all contracting parties to acknowledge the protection of all "musical compositions with or without lyrics" and "dramatico-musical works."
An improvisation similarly counts as a copyrighted musical work. "Musical arrangements" are protected under Art. 2, Par. 3 of the RBC, both as edits and autonomous works.
Composers and others involved in the production of a composition, such as arrangers or orchestrators, count as the creators of a musical work.
Musical copyright law protects the right to the reproduction of sheet music, especially performing and broadcasting rights, internationally governed by Art. 11, Par. 1, Points 1 and 2 in the RBC. The lyrics of a song are entitled to separate protection as a literary work.
Music can also be protected under ancillary copyrights, which pertain to the right of a musician to perform a piece composed by another composer, an event organizer's right to arrange a music event, a phonogram producer's right to a musical recording, or a broadcasting organization's right to transmit a music program.
"Primary rights" and "subsidiary rights" (performance rights, publishing rights, the right to the mechanical distribution of a piece over a sound carrier, synchronization rights for audiovisual media) comprise …The most prominent example of this type of license is the recording contract, or record deal. Classical music licenses serve as a counterpart of free music.

Last week I had the opportunity to have a sneak peek at some of the new Etsy items available for the holidays this year. I do a lot of my holiday shopping online because taking a 3 year old to the mall is pretty much zero fun. There are some days I think I'm single handedly keeping Canada Post afloat. Anyways....I seriously loved so many of the gifts I saw on display. Check them out!
(If Richwood Creations sounds familiar, it's because I've already gushed about their cutting boards. I have this one and love it so hard).
Make Love Not War Soy Wax Candle by HumanKind Candles (I was lucky enough to get one of these beautiful candles when I was at the preview event. It is so beautiful, and $1 from each sale goes to select charities).
Worth the Wait onesie by Urban Baby Co.
What do you think? I know it's early, but will you be doing any holiday shopping on Etsy this year?
Rob, his mom Teresa, Sebastian, and I packed up and flew to San Diego a few weeks ago to visit Rob's brother John for a week. My mother-in-law hadn't been on an airplane in over 35 years. This trip was a huge deal for everyone not only because it was going to be a really wonderful family trip, but it also meant that Teresa could see where John lived and worked for the first time.
John planned so many wonderful things for us to do and totally spoiled us. Rob and I had been to San Diego to visit John a few years ago just before I got pregnant with Sebastian. Going back with Sebastian was super fun. If you follow me on instagram (@jennasml), you probably saw that I was posting pics during our trip. I added some of the pics from Instagram and a few other new ones in today's post. Here's our trip as documented by our cell phones!
When we arrived John had a massive poster made up for us to see as soon as we stepped off the elevator and into his condo building. Then we headed off to Mission Beach for lunch and Sebastian's first time dipping his toes into the ocean.
In the morning we went to the San Deigo Botanical Garden, stopped by La Jolla beach and of course made a visit to Sprinkles Cupcakes (Lemon blueberry for the win BTW). At the botanical gardens, my mother-in-law, who grew up on the Portuguese island of Santa Maria, saw the plant that they used to use to brush their teeth! La Jolla beach is famous for the seals that are always sunbathing. John was trying to snap a shameless seal selfie with a baby seal on the beach. Below are the photos of this event from my phone, and then his. My total guilty pleasure was that since there were at times 6 adults to 1 three-year-old, I'd sit and enjoy my drink and book on John and Scott's terrace.
This was a rest and relaxation day. Teresa and I went for manicures and pedicures while the boys went for cupcakes and a swing in the park. Afterwards we had a swim in the pool. That evening, John had booked Rob and I a date night at The Prado in Balboa Park. We sat outside under twinkle lights, drank too much sangria, and had a really fun night out.
In the morning of our last full day we went to Cabrillo. Sebastian's favourite souvenir to buy whenever we're out are those coin machines where you put in $0.50 and a penny and out comes the penny flattened with a picture on it. Fine by me. $0.51 three times and that's all he wanted to bring home from the whole trip. #win Then went to the harbour for some fish and chips, and ended the day playing at a huge new park and splash pad area.
The next day we packed up, and Rob, Seb and I headed back home. We all had such an amazing trip and can't wait to go back to San Diego again! It's a hard life having a brother-in-law who lives in such a beautiful place. I know Sebastian will remember parts of this as his first big family trip. Teresa stayed with John for one more week, and they continued their California adventure by driving up the coast to San Fransisco.
That's a wrap! I hope you enjoyed seeing our family trip photos. I'll be putting together a more practical "Visiting San Diego With Kids" type of post in the next little while.


Crash site in Trafford Park where Sophie Smith, 19, was killed.
A CRACKDOWN on so-called 'car cruisers' continues with the installation of CCTV cameras in Trafford Park.
Trafford Council installed CCTV at Europa Way roundabout, along with signs reminding drivers that the area is governed by a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).
The installation is part of the council's crackdown on Max Power events, organised by the Trafford Car Cruisers group.
A car cruise meet-up in Europa Way was the scene of a fatal crash in May, when a 19-year-old woman died in a hit-and-run collision.
The driver, Scott Watkins, 25, of Worsley Road North, Salford, was later sentenced to nine years and nine months in prison.
He had been attempting to 'drift' his friend's car around a roundabout but lost control and ploughed into a crowd of spectators.
Sophie Smith suffered catastrophic injuries and died the next day.
The fatal crash provoked renewed calls from the public for a clampdown on high-speed car cruising in the area.
Trafford Park is already governed by a PSPO and drivers caught flouting the rules can be hit with an on-the-spot £90 penalty.
Trafford Council has been working with Greater Manchester Police to rid the area of the anti-social activity.
Cllr Kevin Procter said: "We have received reports of cars travelling at high speed, doing donuts and drifting on roundabouts.
"These signs are a message to anyone thinking of taking part in this anti-social behaviour.
Inspector Andy Burrill, of GMP, said: "These sort of activities bring with them a large amount of risk and the threat of serious injury to members of the public and those that choose to take part.
"As such we will ensure that any individuals taking part in such events will be dealt with robustly and face the potential of custodial sentences, large fines and having their vehicles seized and impounded".
Trafford Council are also looking at introducing measures to prohibit high-risk driving at other sites, including Sale Water Park.


The statement is frequently used at the conclusion of a company period (monthly, quarterly or annually). The best method to learn to read and analyze an income statement is to get a true company's yearly report or Form 10-K and get used to the financial statements contained there. It is an essential report that contributes to the growth of the company. The more complex Multi-Step revenue statement (as its name implies) takes several actions to get the main point, starting with the gross profit.

She has been a valuable member of the Education Team since she started, completing work for her alma mater right out of school as a team member for the Roger Williams Providence Campus Building at One Empire Street in Providence, RI.

She is currently working towards completing the Architectural Registration Exams, and hopes to add a Rhode Island State Registration to her accomplishments of 2018.
Emma is native to Red Hook, NY and currently lives with her boyfriend in North Providence. During school, Emma completed a semester studying abroad in Florence, Italy. She was able to take a trip back to visit her home away from home in May of 2017 and is already trying to plan another visit sometime soon. Many weekends are packed with traveling to visit family and friends, but when she's not traveling she enjoys curling up on the couch with a good suspense novel, catching up on some TV shows, or exploring the restaurant scene in Providence.

A Major Overhaul is Prepared by The Axie Infinity to Balance Ailing Economy

As Axie Infinity sits at the cusp of its 20th season, it encounters a significant issue. The in-game economy remains in freefall, as well as the team needs to take immediate action to stem the trend.
So, in a proposal to put this online globe to right, it is preparing for a significant overhaul of its benefits system.
The trouble the system encounters is that it presently mints four times the variety of SLP symbols than it sheds, thereby producing an unsustainable state of affairs where the overall supply continuously increases.
Because of this, the group mean to tackle this problem head on in the upcoming 20th season. First for the slice are both the experience mode and everyday pursuit rewards.
Altogether, these currently comprise a substantial 54% of all SLP circulation, and also cutting them will consequently have a drastic impact on the token stability.
Read More: The Development Plans for the New Year is Outlined by Axie Infinity
In addition, the Axie team will certainly additionally minimize SLP incentives for groups over 1,100 MMR, while re-introducing incentives for reduced placed groups.
All is not shed nonetheless, as where one set of rewards is shed, another is acquired. So, moving forward, the existing leader board is expanding from 1,000 to 300k combatants.
Each of which will certainly get a share of 117,676 AXS tokens, around $6 million.
A place of basic computing will expose nonetheless, that a mint/burn shortage still remains.
So, to address this scenario, Axie is dealing with a variety of added burning systems for the platform. Consequently, expect to see unique cosmetics, upgradeable body parts, breeding occasions.
And buy-in tournaments getting here in the Axie ecological community over the coming months.
Finally, to tail off all the upgrades, Axie will certainly level out its power distribution.

What does 2018 have in stock for website design?
I believe this is the question; every forward-thinking designer is grappling to answer now; the reason is simple: technology is changing the landscape so fast, and so many things are becoming cool; hence the need to stay ahead of the curve.
What is a better way to stay in the loop than to keep a tab on the past trends, know the facts about digital marketing agencies, and keep abreast of developments in the industry? That's why I wrote this article to take a closer look at the changes I believe will define the website designing industry in the coming year.
Traffic from mobile devices finally outpaced desktop; this means as we head into 2018 the focus for designers will be optimizing their websites for the mobile. In fact, Google is set to introduce in the first quarter of 2018 the Mobile first index. So if you're not yet on the mobile wagon, 2018 is a year you must get onboard or go extinct.
Another factor driving the mobile first design is the AMP technology. If you haven't heard of AMP before it means Accelerated Mobile which is a technology that tends to declutter a website and offer a faster web load time version. I believe you understand the importance of site speed on the performance and conversion rate for businesses, right?
2017 was a year of a significant shift in how website grid layouts are used. It signaled the break from the traditional, age-long grid system to a more asymmetric form. And I believe the trend will continue into 2018.
The broken grid style allows designers to experiment, be unique and give expression to their messages in a distinctive way – this I believe is the appeal to new brands seeking to grab attention in the marketplace.
For me 'responsiveness' has evolved beyond just a trend to a principle. Honestly, by 2018 any business that still hasn't redesigned their static website to a more responsive site is setting themselves up for death.
With the move towards a mobile-centered internet, visitors to your website expect to have a seamless experience, and if this is not so, they'll leave to your competitor's without looking back.
When individuals use their smartphones, the more significant part of that time is spent on apps. Web designers have taken notice and figured out a way of turning websites into apps; the result is the progressive web app – the goal is to bring the best of both worlds together.
This trend as expected will continue into 2018, and we'd be seeing more of websites integrated with traditional mobile features such as push notifications, splash screens, and animated page transitions.
The rise in minimalistic designs is the primary factor driving this trend. As designers opt for more straightforward, lightweight designs with prominent white space; Bold, colorful font types takes center-stage replacing images.
As 2018 rolls in we're expecting more designers to adopt a more modern style, bold, bright typeface to comply with the mobile-first trend.
There you have our top five trends to watch out for in 2018.

BIGBANG's Taeyang says his actress girlfriend inspires his music
Yale Kim, Aug. 16, 2017, 9:55 a.m.
Taeyang of idol band BIGBANG said Wednesday his girlfriend gives him musical inspiration, emphasizing that his new solo album's title song is about love.
Taeyang, who released his third full-length solo album called "White Night," said his girlfriend and actress Min Hyo-rin is his "muse" who inspires his musical creativity. It was reported in 2015 that the two celebrities are a couple.
"Just as my previous hit 'Eyes, Nose, Lips,' my music can't be free from the influence of my lover," Taeyang said at a press conference in Seoul. "Because she is the person whom I love the most, I think she is my muse."
Taeyang said "Darling" is a love song, denying rumors that the song talks about separation.
"Many people think this song is about separation, but it's actually a song mixed with the feeling of strong love," he said.
"White Night" is Taeyang's first solo work in three years and, just like his other solo albums, the title is related to the sun. Taeyang, whose name means "sun" in Korean, previously released a mini solo album called "Hot" in 2008 followed by his first full-length solo album "Solar" in 2010 and second album "Rise" in 2014.
"For the title of my new album, I could only think about the sun going down, but this phenomenon of a white night popped into my head," he said. "I tried to visualize the feeling of abundant life force to make the basics of my sound."

Taeyang said his latest work has more of an R&B flavor rather than hip hop.
"For each of my works, I think I make music that I'm attracted to at that time," he said. "Unlike my second album, many people like R&B, so I was able to do what I want, and that's why this album has more of an R&B sound."
Taeyang's third album also features new composers that present a wide selection of the sound spectrum including disco and electric guitar-leading songs. The 29-year-old singer said he had an "ideal" working environment collaborating with new producers.
"Whichever music you do, I think you can connect with others if you can work with sincerity and have an open mind," he said. "Making a new attempt is good, but whenever I make a new album, I put sincerity as my top priority."
Despite enjoying a successful solo career, Taeyang emphasized that his music is rooted in BIGBANG. He added that members' solo activities have a positive impact on the five-man group.
"My ultimate goal is to see my solo album giving a positive influence to BIGBANG," he said. "I'm still a member of BIGBANG, and I have to try my best."
When asked about T.O.P, BIGBANG's oldest member who was recently indicted for smoking marijuana, Taeyang said he just tried to console the troubled member.
"He regrets his wrongdoings and I think instead of giving advice, I just wanted to console him by staying next to him and listening to his feelings," he said. "We didn't talk about serious stuff, but small things when we met. I thought that would help and give more energy to him."
For his future plans, Taeyang will first start an international tour commemorating the release of his third album. The tour will kick off next weekend at Jamsil Gymnasium in Seoul.
"I feel grateful because it's everybody's dream to meet with fans and perform in various countries after releasing an album," he said. "I feel happy that I'm able to work like this."
Taeyang said he is also ready for his military duty after completing his solo work. All able-bodied Korean men are required to complete at least 21 months of military service before the age of 35 in South Korea.
"I don't know exactly when that time will come, but I have to go when the country calls," he said. "I'm trying to get ready for it."

13 year old Hamza al-Khateeb, tortured and killed by Syrian regime
Devotedly washed and sprinkled with rose petals, Hamza Ali al-Khateeb lies prepared for burial.
But the rituals of death cannot wipe away the horrific injuries that have mutilated his body almost beyond recognition.
Nor do they blot out that Hamza – riddled with bullets, kneecapped and with neck broken and penis hacked off – has the rounded cheeks and gentle face of a child.
At 13, he is one of the youngest known victims of Syria's ruthless crackdown on protesters who have tried to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The teenager's family were told not to speak of his terrible fate. But in a pitiful act of defiance, they posted the footage of his corpse online.
The action led to his father being arrested last week. His whereabouts are unknown.
Posted on YouTube, the video is accompanied by a chilling commentary which details the worst of Hamza's dreadful wounds.
An unseen attendant tenderly shifts the scarred limbs and head so that the viewer can see each injury, including two bullets which were fired through each arm and then entered his chest.
'Look at the evidence of his torture,' the narrator urges. 'Take a look at the bruises on his face and his neck that was broken. Take a look at the bruises on his right legs
'In addition there is worse. They did not satisfy themselves with all the torturing so they cut off his genitals.'
At this point, the video is censored as the wounds are too horrific to show.
Hamza was picked up by security forces at a protest in Jiza, a village in the rebel province of Dar'a in Syria on April 29.
For an agonising month, his desperate family waited for him to go home, terrified of what had become of him.
And when his broken body was finally returned, the injuries which disfigured almost every part of his flesh told the horrific story that he could not.
Amid the mass of cigarette burns, the bullet wounds and bruises, it is impossible to know what finally killed him.
But it is perhaps unsuprising that Hamza, with his childish features and innocent smile, has become the most potent symbol of Syria's uprising.
Thousands of protesters took to the country's bloodied streets this weekend chanting his name.
Children demonstrated in Damascas while people clambered on the roofs in Aleppo to mark the 'Day of Hamza'.
In the city of Hama, 116 miles from the capital, a huge crowd occupied the central square clutching copes of his photographs in their hands.
The video footage of his mutilated body posted online – and broadcast on Al Jazeera – has further fuelled the anger of Syria's protesters.
Facebook group 'We are all Hamza Ali al-Khateeb, the Child Martyr' has attracted 58,000 people while the English version has 3,000 members.
Radwan Ziadeh, an exiled human rights activist told the Washington Post the boy had already become a symbol of the Syrian revolution.
'(His death) is the sign of the sadism of the Assad regime and its security forces,' he said.
'Torture is usual in Syria. It's not something new or strange. What is special about Hamza is that he was only 13 years old. He really is a child.'
The Syrian uprisnig against President Bashar al-Assad is now entering its seventh week.
Foreign journalists are banned from entering the country and the rebellion has been conducted amid a media blackout.
But stories of the brutality of Assad's troops have still trickled out indicating that protests have been ruthlessly suppressed.

Q: Hibernate initializes one-to-many set with null when referenced non-foreign key column is null I have a bidirectional one-to-many relation between EntityA and EntityB. The relation is not based on a foreign key, instead entities need to be linked with a unique linking_field in database. Relevant mappings:
EntityA:
@Id
private Long id;

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "entityA")
private Set<EntityB> children = new HashSet<>();

@Column(name = "linking_field")
private String linkingField;

EntityB:
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "entity_a_id", referencedColumnName = "linking_field", nullable = false)
private EntityA entityA;

Now, let's imagine a situation where EntityB's table is empty. The problem is that when I try to fetch entityA, which has null value in linking_field column, with Spring Data repository method that explicitly JOIN FETCHes children field, the children field is initialized with null. However, it's not the case when the linking_field is set - then Hibernate assigns an empty PersistentSet to children, which is a desired behavior for me. Is there any way I can overcome that?
EntityA has linkingField == null:
EntityA entityA = entityARepository.findByIdWithChildren(entityAId);
entityA.getChildren(); // null

EntityA has linkingField != null:
EntityA entityA = entityARepository.findByIdWithChildren(entityAId);
entityA.getChildren(); // empty Set -> desirable

Thanks in advance.

A: Apparently, it's how Hibernate works unfortunately. I've debugged the code and this is a relevant piece from Hibernate's CollectionType class:
private Object resolveKey(Serializable key, SharedSessionContractImplementor session, Object owner, Boolean overridingEager) {
    // if (key==null) throw new AssertionFailure("owner identifier unknown when re-assembling
    // collection reference");
    return key == null ? null : // TODO: can this case really occur??
        getCollection( key, session, owner, overridingEager );
}

In my case the key parameter is null, so it turns out that they simple overwrite the whole collection with null.

Welcome to my Web page. I have been a psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente since 1976 and have worked at the Vista Medical Offices since they opened in 1993. My experience over the years has been extremely helpful to me in caring for my patients. I have learned that one size doesn't fit all. Each person has unique problems for which unique approaches are needed. My patients have taught me to be a better psychiatrist.
I am originally from the East Coast. After medical school at Albany Medical College, I came to UC San Diego for my residency and internship.
I see adults of all ages and evaluate them for medication, follow up with them for any medications I prescribe, and provide ongoing support.
As a psychiatrist, what is most important to me is how I can help you feel well.

Q: HTML and Javascript execution order I have the following web page that redirects http traffic to https.
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var loc = window.location.href+'';
    if (loc.indexOf('http://www.') == 0 && loc.indexOf('.com') > -1) {
        window.location.href = loc.replace('http://www.','https://www.');
    } else if (loc.indexOf('http://') == 0 && loc.indexOf('.com') > -1  && loc.indexOf('www.') == -1) {
        window.location.href = loc.replace('http://','https://www.');
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
   ...
</body>

Question
I have placed the redirect javascript above the html body. Does this mean that the page will get redirected before the body tries to load?
I am trying to make this code as efficient as possible.
Any advise appreciated.

A: To answer your question, yes, the script will be executed before everything below it. However, if Javascript is disabled, or unsupported, you will have issues.
Typically, I would recommend you use a server-side redirect. If you know PHP, that is one simple option. If you don't, and this is on an Apache hosted server (either localhost or external) I suppose you could use a .htaccess file It may also be possible that your webhost's CPANEL allows you to do this without editing anything. Some CPANELs for example have an option for auto-redirecting of HTTP links HTTPS. If your CPANEL doesn't, you could (I suppose) redirect every HTTP page to HTTPS using whatever options your CPANEL gives you.
If you absolutely must have the most efficient option, it's .htaccess (although that is also the most painful, so I would recommend CPANEL or PHP if you are afforded those options.)

A: HTML pages are processed from left to right, top to bottom unless there is specific instructions to the contrary.
Given that your JavaScript is not encapsulated in a function or assigned as a callback, it will run prior to the HTML that follows it.

A: By setting window.location.href you are telling the browser to leave,
so whatever you have after that wont be executed. Obviously, if you had something before that (css, other scripts, ...), it would have already been processed.
The thing is that the browser might have started downloading / parsing  other resources before starting to execute any scripts (It depends on the engine.)
The best way is to redirect server-side to make it faster, unless the logic had to be in your web application.

Intrigue and excitement, steroid testing and cutthroat competition... No, it isn't the Kentucky Derby -- it's pigeon racing! The sport rages on deep in the heart of Brooklyn. "Coney Island's for the Birds" follows Anthony and Larry Martire, a father and son pigeon racing team, through the ups and downs of the racing season. They take us on a journey through the pre-race selection and training of pigeons, to the drive and release (up to 500 hundred miles away) of the birds, and finally, to the tense wait for their return to see who will take home the big prize. Throughout all of the excitement, we get a glimpse into their special father/son relationship, bonded by years of a shared pastime and love for their amazing rooftop creatures. "Coney Island's for the Birds" has screened in numerous film festivals worldwide and is currently broadcast in the United States on the Documentary Channel and abroad with Shorts International.
