This is the toughest MasterChef team challenge yet. The remaining eight contestants have to spend the night in the woods and, the next day, cook a restaurant quality meal using rustic, camping-grade equipment: one knife, a flint for starting fire, an iron skillet, and a single wooden spoon. Say what?
Bri and Natasha are team captains, and Bri selects James for her first pick, followed by Eddie and Luca. Natasha's team consists of Jordan, Jessie, and Krissi (whose abhorrence for Bri resurfaces in her sound bites).
But wait-there's a twist (always a twist). The judges switch the team captains, and so Bri ends up leading Jordan, Jessie, and her not-so-favorite Krissi, while Natasha is now the head of James, Eddie, and Luca. Bri's blue team chooses rabbit for their main protein, leaving Natasha's red team to work with pigeon - two animals that are commonly found in the wild (as deemed by the judges).
I've never worked with pigeon before, nor have I eaten it. The first thing I'd do is cook off a pigeon to learn its flavor profile and texture before conceptualizing a dish. Rabbit I've made a couple of times - it's a lean meat that, to me, emits a ever-so-slight grassy odor. It's great braised.
The blue team decides on a braised rabbit ragout served over sautéed wild mushrooms and - of all things - pasta! Making pasta out in the wilderness with wine bottles and quail eggs is a brave (stupid?) move, but I've got to give them credit for thinking outside the box. After all, the judges say resourcefulness is key in this challenge.
The red team decides to slow roast their pigeon over a fire pit and serve it with honey-glazed carrots and a wild mushroom farro. Both dishes sound amazing. Now it's about execution and final flavor. Since the blue team started the braise late on their rabbit, they shred the meat partway through cooking. And at the end, Bri encounters a colossal accident when she spills the plated dish. What a nightmare.
Regardless of the skeletal kitchen equipment and less-than-familiar proteins, both teams receive high praises from the judges. And for the first time during this season of MasterChef, like a parent fawning over their children, I am quite proud of every contestant. Everyone was able to set aside their differences and work together in this undesirable environment to put out two stellar dishes.
Unfortunately, there can only be one winning team. And the title goes to the red team for their pigeon. So Natasha, James, Eddie, and Luca are safe in the gallery. But before the pressure test begins, they are tasked to select one person on the blue team to whom they will offer immunity. Should they pick someone they know they can beat later? Or do they preserve the competition's integrity and pick someone they truly believe is the strongest cook?
The immunity is given to Krissi, which leaves Bri, Jessie, and Jordan in the pressure test: six éclairs in sixty minutes. The judges are looking for six consistently beautiful éclairs with chocolate icing on top and Chantilly cream piped through the center.
Nobody's éclairs are perfect, but Bri had the worst of the bunch, and she is sent home. We've recently begun seeing a lot more of Bri, and she's definitely grown beyond her vegetarianism in this competition. And in a rare tender moment of farewell, Bri wishes Krissi luck, and Krissi even says she'll come visit. No matter how badly I wanted to stay in the competition last season, saying goodbye to another cook is always difficult. We spend virtually all of our waking hours with these people, and even when we fight and think we can't stand another minute with them, having to see someone's MasterChef dream end was always heartbreaking.
It's down to the lucky seven. What'd you think of this week's wilderness challenge? Do you think Krissi should've been given the pass? Did Bri deserved to go home? Don't forget to tune in next week's MasterChef at 9/8c on FOX for another gargantuan mystery box. Who'll be under it this time?

Is Life Really That Hard?
Is it? I mean, we all have our ups and downs, days that seem bi-polar and days we just really want to chuck it all and move to the beach. But we don't give in, we don't give up. What makes a person give up?
We all have different childhoods, different home lives, different parents. That is one of the things that makes us unique. Our backgrounds help to shape who we will become as adults. Sometimes it is out of our hands what our backgrounds are but it is up to us to shape who we will become; not let the negative drag us down, but use it as a lesson and rise above it. There are those who consciously make decisions that are not positive, productive, or helpful. These decisions are negative and destructive. And yet they make the decision, whether on their own or through guidance, to turn that life around and save themselves.
But what makes a person take their own life? What makes life so horrific and painful that you would want to end it?
I am sitting here pondering this thought because I received a phone call last night. A gut wrenching, horrible call…a former student had committed suicide.
There was no tears at this point. I went straight to anger. I was and still am angry at this person. How could you do this? How could you overcome all the crap in your past to give it all up now? Why did you not get help for your pain?
Is suicide the answer? Yeah, you have ended your pain on Earth, but then what? Where do you go and what would that be like? You may have ended your pain, but you have double and tripled the pain of those you left behind. Your beautiful young daughter will never know you and what have you taught her? If you thought your childhood was bad, what have you done to hers? What have you denied her with your actions? Did you not think through how your actions will affect others?
This post may seem dark and angry, and it is. But I must say, this is the second death of a former student I am facing this school year. Both of these students were ages 21-27. Both had daughters. Both had families that loved them. Both had decisions they overcame, survived and flourished. Obviously both had inner pain. Both chose to escape their lives permenantly.
I still can not wrap my mind around this. I just can not fathom a life so horrible and painful that I would want to leave my family and love ones. Yes, I understand the mind can be a big ol' wacky place and make you believe things that are not true. I also totally believe in mental health issues that influence our thoughts and actions. It is just sad to see a life purposefully ended so young.
I don't want to sound like a hypocrite. I have had pain and issues (oh so many issues) in my past that are affecting my present and future. But, honestly, I am getting help working through them so they do not continue to affect my life or influence my decisions. I am not a goody-goody who has all the answers, or thinks their way is the right way (although sometimes it is…yes it is an issue I am dealing with). I just want to say that we all have different levels of pain and issues that affect are life, but hopefully do not control our life.
All of the good I thought I might have been doing from my last post now seems silly. I mean, do I really make an impact. Trust me, I know I am a blimp in my student's life. But somehow I wonder, was there anything I could have done? I know the answer is no, but it doesn't ease my pain.
I guess the lesson I should take from all of this is that life is truly short. We will make mistakes but we do not need to let them weigh us down and drown us. We do not need to be too prideful and not ask for help. We will have pain in life and we need to learn to either manage it or get help. We need to reach out and make contact with another person, even a hello to someone whether you know them or not. You do not know what demons may have a hold on them and you could be the one who encourages them that day with your smile or hello.
We all make decisions, right or wrong. We only get one life to live. Please live yours.

Q: Find the first link with given tag and open it (userscript) This seems a simple problem, still I cannot manage to find out how to solve it.
I'd like to write a greasemonkey userscript for a webshop what is doing the next when I open their site (what is basically a listing of items under each other).

*

*checking if there is any new items since my last visit
(in the html of the site there will be a "new " mark in their class)
in case it finds 1 or more items with the new tag, go to the next step (else do nothing)

*redirect this main page to the first link with the "new " tag
So when I open  http://mywebsite.com/  I should be redirected immediately to  http://mywebsite.com/forsale/100009/  in this example.
But I don't know what will be the url, that's why a script needs to check the links. Only the first match I need (new items are always on top). Not old (without the new tag) and not new items under/after the first one.
This is how the website's source looks:

A: Something like this you mean?
var newLink = $( ".item.new:first" ).find('a:first').attr('href');
window.location.replace(newLink);

Or this without jQuery:
var newLink = document.getElementsByClassName('item new')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href;
window.location.replace(newLink);

A: Shortened M.D.'s solution a bit, posting here as this also works:
document.getElementsByClassName('item new')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].click();

A 2 Z Articles Blog / Business / Business / 'Can I get a mortgage if I'm only on 80% pay?'
'Can I get a mortgage if I'm only on 80% pay?'
Sophie Hockin
Most of Sophie's furniture is in storage until she finds a new place to buy
"I have to laugh about this whole situation because if I didn't I'd cry instead."
Sophie Hockin, 29, was due to exchange on her first home on 6 April before the world changed and the deal fell through.
"The seller had financial concerns because of coronavirus and so pulled out".
Sophie's now on the look-out for a new home but is worried she won't be able to get the same mortgage as before the pandemic, because her salary's been cut.
"I still need to buy somewhere because I moved out of my rented accommodation in February, and am now house-sitting for a friend – only because he's stuck in lockdown at his parents' house though.
"But since lockdown, my salary was cut to 80% of what it should be, so I just don't know what's going to happen.
"My employer says 'salary reductions will be reversed when deemed safe to return to a normal routine which is hoped to be in approximately three months'.
"But we just don't know what's going to happen – whenever are we going to 'get back to normal?'"
Pay cut for millions
Sophie added; "I don't want to go back to renting. It's nearly impossible to save and I'd also have to get tied into at least a six-month or probably more likely a 12-month contract, which I really don't want to do."
Sophie is not alone. At least six million people have been 'furloughed' by their employer on the government's Job Retention Scheme (JRS), which means for many their pay has been cut to 80% of their salary – up to £2,500 per month – which the government is paying.
But many others, who are still working, have also seen employers cut their wages, all of which could affect a person's ability not only to get a mortgage, but also how much they could borrow.
UK Finance, the trade association for the banking industry, told Radio 4's Money Box: "It will be a matter for each individual lender to determine exactly what approach to take, but under FCA rules lenders must lend responsibly and consider the affordability of the mortgage in the long term.
"It would not be in the customer's interest to lend [them] more than they can reasonably afford. That is why a detailed income and expenditure assessment is undertaken before a mortgage is granted."
For anyone wanting an answer about their own specific circumstances, the only way to find out is by contacting any potential mortgage lender, talk them through their finances and see what the lender says.
Sophie is getting used to living out of a suitcase after the deal to buy her first home fell through
Mortgage relief
Around two million people are thought to have made the most of the offer to take a three-month mortgage holiday from lenders.
Mortgage providers are also offering home-buyers who had exchanged contracts – but have not been able to complete the deal and move in – the option of extending their mortgage offer by up to three months, to allow the deal to take place after restrictions are eased.
That doesn't help in Sophie's case, as her previous mortgage offer was tied to the property she wanted to buy, which is no longer on the market.
Martin Stewart, founder and director of independent mortgage brokers, London Money, says most lenders are even more risk-averse than normal at the moment. "I would suggest if Sophie has had a 20% pay cut, lenders will be working off of her new lower figure and not her previous pre-crisis income. "If her employer is guaranteeing a return to full salary within a short period of time, it may be that some lenders can take a commercial view, but then a lot will depend on the other factors affecting the case – loan size, affordability, loan to value, credit score etc. They will also insist on written confirmation of when she may be returning to her full income. "Lenders are also paying much closer attention to the sectors that mortgage borrowers are working in. If they believe the at-risk industries such as tourism, aviation, hospitality etc are likely to take longer to return to any sense of normality, then they may well decide the risk is too high and ratchet back the lending or just simply not lend at all."

"Cleaner living, peace of mind." Knowing natural disasters are truly devastating. Living in a building consists of different apartments, and air conditioners for each house. Duct system are magnets for dust, mould, animal hairs, and all kinds of other contaminants that can aggravate and trigger a wide array of allergies. Where duct cleaning in Melbourne is a powerful way to claim home back from the grips of the natural disaster. With these contaminants recycled into air supply, along with any germs that may be bouncing around that could find much harder time to beat even the simplest cold, much less a regular allergy.
The duct is the infrastructure through which home remains cool or hot according to the climate, with living in the place that the temperature remains colder than usual. This type of system in the house for saving from the coldness or extreme hotness of the weather outside. As air indoor pollution become more of a hazard, the state of our indoor air quality is becoming more of a health concern. Where poor indoor air quality can lead to a number of health problems such as respiratory illnesses. Duct cleaner in Melbourne consists of cleaning various heating and cooling system components of forced air system such as air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, drip pans, fan motor, and the air handling unit. The air conditioning duct cleaning is a process which has to be considered on time to stay assured about the fresh air.
Moisture and humidity in a duct can be a breeding ground for such biological contaminants like mould, mildew, fungi, and bacteria. As air indoor pollution becomes more of a hazard, the state of indoor air quality is becoming more of a health concern. Where some air duct cleaning in Melbourne service providers will use chemical biocide or ozone to kill these organisms. For improving indoor air quality is to have air ducts cleaned. The accumulation causes contaminants to be dispersed throughout the room where they can be inhaled causing illnesses such as allergies, lungs congestion, shortness of breath and sneezing and watery eyes. These dust have a different structure and when they come across countless grimy microbes, they keep on multiplying. This multiplication of bacteria from dirt cakes leading to a complex scenario to be handled ad a part of cleaning of the ducts of an air conditioner.
In building and home, air is transported that is the air ducts. Fresh air and sound health go hand in hand. Where air conditioners have always been a source of conditioning the temperature according to weather. They need to maintain at the frequent intervals involving duct cleaning in Melbourne. The ducts of an air conditioner attract several pathogens, microbes and other bacterial infestation, it is necessary to focus on duct cleaning.

Q: Creating completely customized legends in ggplot2 I am wondering if it is possible to create a completely customized legend for a ggplot figure, that does not take into consideration any of the shapes, sizes, column names, etc. used in the given figure. It seems strange that this may not be the case, given that complex data sets can be difficult to rename, and that adding text to ggplot figure axes, annotations and labels is so straightforward. Can this perhaps be added to a ggplot object, in the same way you might add a theme? Let's say I wanted to have a legend that was titled "Different fruit", the three variables were "Apple", "Banana" and "Mango," and the three symbols associated with them were a filled black circle, a hollow circle, and a hollow triangle.
Here is some data I was playing around with:

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

data_dna <- DNase

plot_dna <- ggplot(data_dna, aes(x = conc, y = density)) + geom_point()

plot_dna + theme(legend.position = c(2, 2), legend.text = element_text(size = 15))

This doesn't even succesfully produce a legend at all. Please let me know if you have any leads on this.

A: Here is a hacky solution I came up with. It draws an invisible geom layer that initialises a dummy aesthetic and associated scale. Not very flexible, but should do the trick.
library(ggplot2)
library(rlang)
#> Warning: package 'rlang' was built under R version 4.1.1

data_dna <- DNase

plot_dna <- ggplot(data_dna, aes(x = conc, y = density)) + geom_point()

dummy_guide <- function(
    labels = NULL,
    ...,
    title = NULL,
    key   = draw_key_point,
    guide_args = list()
) {
  # Capture arguments
  aesthetics <- list(...)
  n <- max(lengths(aesthetics), 0)
  labels <- labels %||%  seq_len(n)

  # Overrule the alpha = 0 that we use to hide the points
  aesthetics$alpha <- aesthetics$alpha %||% rep(1, n)

  # Construct guide
  guide_args$override.aes <- guide_args$override.aes %||% aesthetics
  guide <- do.call(guide_legend, guide_args)

  # Allow dummy aesthetic
  update_geom_defaults("point", list(dummy = "x"))

  dummy_geom <- geom_point(
    data = data.frame(x = rep(Inf, n), y = rep(Inf, n),
                      dummy = factor(labels)),
    aes(x, y, dummy = dummy), alpha = 0, key_glyph = key
  )
  dummy_scale <- discrete_scale(
    "dummy", "dummy_scale", palette = scales::identity_pal(), name = title,
    guide = guide
  )
  list(dummy_geom, dummy_scale)
}

Adding this without any arguments creates nothing.
plot_dna + dummy_guide()

By default, it creates keys as points.
plot_dna + dummy_guide(
  labels = c("Apple", "Banana", "Mango"),
  shape  = c(16, 21, 24),
  title  = "Different Fruit"
)

You can change to key to something else.
plot_dna + dummy_guide(
  labels = c("Foo", "Bar", "Baz"),
  fill   = c("blue", "green", "red"),
  colour = NA,
  title  = "Metasyntactic variables",
  key = draw_key_polygon
)

Hale Stadium is a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium located on the campus of Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee. Built in 1953 and nicknamed "The Hole", the stadium hosted TSU Tigers football games until 1999, when home games were moved to what is now Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans. Allowing the Tigers to play their home games at the new venue was a requirement for the funding the new facility received from the State of Tennessee. After the move, Hale fell into a state of disrepair.

History
The facility was named for William J. Hale, who served as TSU's first president. Hale Stadium hosted a second-round NCAA Division I-AA playoff game in 1982, with the Tigers defeating Eastern Illinois University 20–19 in front of a crowd of 8,000.

During its years at Hale, TSU went undefeated ten times, won ten championships in the now-defunct Midwestern Conference and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1998, its final season in the stadium.

The last Tennessee State football game at Hale Stadium before moving to LP Field was a 28–14 win over Texas Southern University on November 21, 1998. However, the facility is still used for the annual Blue-White game held at the close of the Tigers' spring practice.

Renovations
The stadium was renovated before the 2012 season to celebrate the university's centennial, and was reopened in time for the Tigers' game against Austin Peay. The Tigers now split their home games between Hale Stadium and Nissan Stadium.

Being accused of sexual abuse can be frightening and horrific. A conviction could attract hefty penalties and rob you of your freedom, which is why you can't afford to plead guilty.
You may not know what to do, but the best action is to consult a Bloomfield Hills criminal defense lawyer for legal counsel and representation if you're facing sexual abuse charges in Michigan.
What is the Definition of Sexual Assault in Michigan?
Sexual assault is when someone forces or pressures another person into unwanted sexual contact. This may entail sexual penetration or unwanted touching of private body parts. Some sexual assault perpetrators may commit the crime when the victim is asleep, under the influence of alcohol, unconscious, or physically helpless.
Under the Michigan Penal Code, a person is guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct if they engage in sexual penetration with another person under the following circumstances:
The victim is under 13 years
The victim is 13 but less than 16 years and the perpetrator is a member of the victim's family, related by blood or affinity to the fourth degree, or as authority over the victim as a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of a school in which the victim is enrolled
The actor causes personal injury to the victim and uses coercion to accomplish sexual penetration.
The law also lists the types of unlawful sexual conduct, but what unites each kind of sexual abuse and assault is the lack of consent. Lack of consent includes the lack of knowing consent and the inability to consent. For example, a person who is severely intoxicated or drugged cannot give consent. Additionally, a person under 16 cannot consent to sex in Michigan.
What are the Common Types of Sexual Misconduct in Michigan?
Rape is the most common type of sexual assault. It involves physical force, violence, and threats. The State of Michigan also classifies a crime as rape if the victim is not of the legal age, can't consent, or is coerced into the action. Other forms of sexual abuse are the following:
Child Sexual Abuse and Molestation
This offense happens when a perpetrator has sexual contact with a victim not of legal age. Most child sexual abuse and molestation offenses are perpetrated by offenders known to the child, such as family members, coaches, teachers, caretakers, clergy, and other trusted adults.
Examples of child sexual abuse include:
Sexual touching
Manipulating the child to do something sexual
Taking graphic photos of the child
If you're facing child sexual abuse and molestation allegations, you risk spending a significant portion of your life behind bars if convicted. Consult a sex crimes lawyer in Bloomfield Hills to defend you aggressively against the charges.
Incest refers to sexual contact between closely related family members. The act may happen between consenting adults, but this is not common. Most reported incest cases are between a child and a close family member, for example, a sibling or parent.
Other Categories of Sexual Abuse
Some other forms of sexual assault don't fit into defined categories. For example, a perpetrator could have sex in front of a child and make inappropriate comments to the child. In other instances, a perpetrator could post or publish explicit sexual photos or videos of someone without their consent in what may be non-consensual revenge pornography.
Regardless of the type of sexual assault you have been charged with, you should contact a Bloomfield Hills sex crimes lawyer for advice on the appropriate defensive course of action to take. They can evaluate the evidence brought against you and put their skills to work to help you create a strong defense for the most favorable outcome.
What is the Difference Between Criminal and Civil Charges in Sexual Assault Cases?
When filing a lawsuit, victims of sexual abuse may file criminal or civil charges. While the two are separate charges, the outcome of a criminal case could dramatically affect the outcome of a civil lawsuit.
Civil Charges in Sexual Assault Cases
Sexual assault victims can pursue civil charges for sexual abuse and molestation. In this case, the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff as they must show negligence on the defendant's part to be liable for compensation.
For example, a student who pursues legal action against a teacher for a sexual offense must prove negligence. They must show how the teacher breached their duty of care towards them. Due to the breach, the court could order them to pay financial damages to the plaintiff in addition to prison time and fines. The compensation might depend on the following:
Medical expense
Loss of enjoyment of life
A skilled criminal defense attorney in Bloomfield Hills can assess your case and defend you against these penalties. They know how the court system works and can potentially have the charges reduced or dropped.
Criminal Charges in Sexual Assault Cases
The state is responsible for pursuing criminal charges against sex crime offenders. If the offender pleads guilty or the court finds them guilty, the court penalizes them under the Michigan Penal Code. The penalties include:
Prison time
Monetary fines and restitution
The penalties depend on the type and degree of sexual abuse and the offender's criminal history. For example, some charges carry no more than two years in prison and a fine, while others can result in a life sentence in state prison.
The impact of these consequences can adversely affect your life. Let a skilled sex crimes attorney serving Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, and Big Rapids, help you fight the charges.
A Skilled and Compassionate Sex Crimes Lawyer Aggressively Defending Your Rights
You can be charged with sexual abuse in Michigan without hard evidence. The charges can be based purely on the victim's testimony, meaning it's their word against yours. It's not unusual for an accuser to take the stand and say you sexually assaulted them, and that's all the prosecutor will need to convict you. You need experienced legal representation to fight the charges successfully.
An experienced sex crimes attorney from our law firm can help you prove your innocence and win the case. We can provide the legal support, counsel, and representation you need during this difficult time. Our criminal defense attorneys give you the best chance at freedom and unrivaled personalized services to protect your rights.

The Carpentarian rock rat (Zyzomys palatalis) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Australia.
The description of the species was published by Darrell Kitchener in 1989, emerging from a revision of the genus Zyzomys. The holotype was a pregnant female, collected at Wollogorang Station, in a deep ravine called Echo Gorge. The sandstone environment of the type location was an association of plants that included Eucalyptus dichromophloia. The specific epithet palatis is derived from Latin, and refers to the characteristic morphology of their palate.
It is a small and compact conilurine rodent. Its fur is grey-brown above and pale below. The tail is used to store fat at its base, making it carrot-shaped; the skin of the tail is fragile and easily damaged by handling. The average weight of individuals is about 120 g.
It has a very limited range, being currently known from only five localities within the Wollogorang Station pastoral lease of the Northern Territory, close to the border with Queensland, near the Gulf of Carpentaria. Crucial habitat characteristics are rugged sandstone gorges with a cover of dry monsoon vine-thicket or tropical woodland, and with access to permanent water.
The estimated size of the wild population of this species is less than 2000. The main threat is from hot, late dry-season, fires. It is classified as being Critically Endangered. It is subject to conservation management, including a captive breeding program at the Territory Wildlife Park.

In this decade, highly automated driving is the goal of every car manufacturer. New players have entered the market while traditional car manufacturers gradually improve driving assistance functions until they finally become completely independent from the driver. The newcomers have less experience in actual car manufacturing, but great know-how in machine learning and interaction with the cloud.
The commonality is the need for sensor data to replace human senses. An autonomous car requires information about its environment to act properly. Each type of sensor has different strengths and weaknesses. Cameras give the best overview, but the images must be processed in real-time to provide a proper environment model. Radar can detect objects very well and deliver a proper environment model, but is easily confused by metal objects like drain covers. Lidar, a laser-based system, seems to be a good compromise, but it is very expensive. The answer is to combine multiple sensors to get the most likely picture.
These sensors gain range with every new hardware generation, but they still have physical limitations. They cannot see much further than 200 meters, cannot look around corners, or see through hills or other big obstacles. A car relying only on sensor data will therefore drive like a visitor from another city, as if it has no knowledge about the turnoff lanes, crossings, or curves. The car will drive by its sensors and will probably perform maneuvers very late when it finally recognizes the right path to take.
Additional map data is the only way to avoid this. Such data can be thought of as being like an assistant rally driver. It improves driving by enabling smooth transitions between different conditions. For example, predictive active cruise control would sharply brake the car when the sensors spot a speed limit, but with map information, the speed can be reduced in ahead of time. Special conditions like sharp curves, dangerous inclines, or other obstacles are also known in advance. A detailed and up-to-date map is vital to provide this information. Such a map contains two kinds of information: Static and dynamic.
Dynamic content changes all the time. Such content includes data about accidents, hazard warnings, traffic jams, or weather conditions. It needs to be reported, processed, and distributed immediately. Otherwise, it would be simply outdated and lead to incorrect action. This information correlates to the traffic news on the radio.
Static content does not change that often. Examples are slopes, curvature, lane markings, or signposts. This data can be collected gradually, and the processing and distribution may take days or even weeks. This correlates with the information on paper maps.
A feedback loop must be established to provide such a map. The vehicle reports potential map information, which is collected and added to a map, and then distributed back to the vehicle. The feedback loop must be as fast as possible for dynamic content if it is to be useful. In contrast, static content is still valuable after long time, so it could be buffered in the vehicle when an upload connection is unavailable.
The feedback loop is fed continuously with the objects or situations recognized by all participants in both cases. Timestamp and position data is added to the sent messages, but some kind of authentication is needed to avoid misuse of the upload portal. This authentication allows a vehicle to connect to cloud services and prevents uploading of malicious messages by unknown senders. It usually allows the receiver of the message to determine the sender, and make decisions about whether to keep the information about the sender permanently to allow for further evaluation or discard it during the processing chain to ensure privacy.
The uploaded information must also be validated, with every record checked for accuracy and invalid records removed immediately. For example: if a GPS signal is not available, the location data for latitude 0 and longitude 0 in the Atlantic Ocean might be sent. This error is detected easily when it is received. Besides the position data, timestamps should also be treated with care, since the local time of a vehicle may not necessarily be correct. This might be due to wrong time settings or a low quality clock in older vehicles, and newer vehicles might be set to the wrong time zone during travel. Since the dynamic content must be sent immediately, the arrival time of the message on the server can be used. This can be trickier for buffered static messages when the sent time stamp cannot be trusted and the message might have been kept in the buffer for an undefined time. Static content, fortunately, is not as time critical as dynamic content, so the precision of the time stamp is not as relevant.
The information received from all vehicles is collected in a large database, and dynamic data should be distributed as quickly as possible. It makes perfect sense, however, to collect additional information about the same item. For example, the position of spilled oil spotted by a vehicle is always inaccurate. This is because the sensors and algorithms in a car are optimized for correct recognition rather than for accurate location. Recognition of whether or not it is oil may be wrong in itself. This may be due to a broken sensor, bad weather conditions, or because the algorithm was stimulated to recognize something completely different than an oil puddle. The only solution is to aggregate multiple data points about the same item. It is only a mathematical challenge to determine how many cars need to report the same attribute "slippery road" at roughly the same place to determine the correct location and be able to trust the information.
Vanishing information is another problem affecting reliability. An example of this is a construction site along the road. It appears someday, lasts for maybe 2 weeks, and then disappears again. Such a construction site will probably affect even static information like lane markings, lane geometry, speed limits, and so on. The updated values from the cars that recognize the construction site are counted as outliers, or are unable to influence the statistical mean value of the past few years. As a result, no map update or an insufficient one will be created.
The age of the information must be considered in order to address this problem. More recent information must be rated with a higher probability than older information, even if it originates from a less reliable source. A similar problem applies when a sign is removed. The sign will simply not be spotted any more, and no car will send information about it. Therefore, a check must be performed to see if there is an item in the database for which no further acknowledgements arrive. Finally, these items must be removed from the database.
The collected and aggregated information leads to a much more detailed map. This map has more comprehensive and more accurate geometry information such as lanes, exact curvature, or gradients, and more details along the road like zebra crossings, signposts, or traffic lights. These maps are too large to be downloaded every day, even though mobile networks are getting faster with every generation and the costs for mobile data are shrinking constantly. The updates must therefore be sent out in small portions that only contain new data. Version management has to take into consideration all the information already present in the vehicle and avoid sending this information repeatedly. Nevertheless, a general update will still contain irrelevant information because a car in one city will not need to know about a traffic jam in another city. The update thus boils down to a very specific map update package for each vehicle at its given position and expected route. The update package will only contain the latest information about the current track and the side roads that can be taken next.
Minimalistic update packages have the advantage that they can be installed as well as downloaded faster. Since the vehicle may receive update packages at any time, it must be able to handle them even while driving. Either the map database must be stopped, updated, and restarted, or a live update must be performed. If the database is stopped, the vehicle loses the map as an additional source of information and reverts to purely sensor-based driving. After the restart, all the relevant data must be read from the database again and synchronized with the other sensor data. A live update guarantees continuous usage of the map, but brings with it various database synchronization problems, for example the update algorithm may change information in the database while the autonomous driving algorithm is trying to read this data. Although this may work sometimes, there is always a possibility that both algorithms will try to access the same data at the same time. Broken data sets are transmitted when this happens. Just imagine driving along a curve while the curvature is being updated. A typical database approach would be to lock the affected data and thus prevent a read operation while data is updated. But this can lead to a deadlock when each algorithm waits for the other to unlock a needed record. Eventually there has to be a compromise between the database downtime and the availability of the most recent data.
The feedback loop is closed when the most recent data becomes available in the vehicle. The car can make use of all the data collected either from its previous drive or from other vehicles. This is actually the crucial point in the whole feedback loop. It can only work properly if it has enough participants. Static map data is still collected and updated by special cars. The only purpose of these cars is to collect data. They therefore drive accordingly (i.e. slowly, carefully, and over the same road several times). These cars are equipped with highly accurate sensors and transmit very precise information. While this works perfectly to create a basic road map for navigation, it is simply not enough for a map that is to serve as a basis for autonomous driving. Such a map must outline the slightly shifted lanes around a construction site as well as indicating the changed speed limit. A special car cannot collect data often enough to keep the map of a whole country up to date given that a construction site may only last less than a month. This means that every car and every driver must participate to maintain a highly accurate map in the same way that Wikipedia users do to keep the world's largest encyclopedia updated.

Tourists Are Returning to Cancún. But Workers' Fears About COVID-19 Never Went Away
Tourists stroll on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, on Nov. 22, 2020.
Claudia Guadarrama—Magnum Foundation for TIME
By Oscar Lopez / Cancún, Mexico
January 11, 2021 6:08 AM EST
Sitting on the soft white sand of the world-famous beach in Cancún, Mexico, the turquoise water lapping lazily at your feet as tourists jog maskless along the shore, you can almost imagine that the coronavirus pandemic never happened.
In the evening, masked waitresses in colorful, frilly dresses balance bottles of tequila on their heads and perform to "Baby Shark" at a tacky restaurant in Cancún's nightlife district. With the lights of the Coco Bongo disco illuminating the night sky, tourists dance in open-air clubs while acrobats twirl above them, raining glitter down on a packed and maskless crowd.
But behind the pulsing music and pristine beaches lies an ominous reality. COVID-19 has infected some16,000 people in the state of Quintana Roo, which includes Cancún, claiming over 2,000 lives. Limited testing means actual numbers are likely far higher. And even as tourists begin flooding in, often escaping a raging pandemic back home, COVID-19 remains a crippling crisis for the waiters, housekeepers, chauffeurs and others here who depend on tourism, with many losing their jobs, their family or even their lives because of the deadly disease.
A club in Cancún's nightlife district
When Mexico imposed nationwide coronavirus restrictions at the end of March, travel to Cancún plummeted: in April, just over 1,000 foreigners arrived at the city's airport, a drop of 99.8% compared with the same month last year. As foreign travel fell, so did the economy: from February to April, up to 70,000 formal tourism jobs in Quintana Roo disappeared, according to the Mexican Employers' Association, COPARMEX.
February and April, up to 70,000 formal tourism jobs in Quintana Roo disappeared, according to the Mexican Employers' Association, COPARMEX.
But with restrictions easing in June, travel has picked back up: in November, the most recent month for which official data is available, nearly 290,000 foreigners arrived in Cancún, well below 2019's figures but a massive increase when compared with those of April and May. Hotel occupancy in Cancún and nearby Puerto Morelos has also surged from less than 6% in April to 38% in October. Now, after a busy holiday season, many in Cancún have gone back to work. But the influx of foreigners, mostly from the U.S., has also intensified fears around the virus.
Revelers dance at a club in Cancún's nightlife district on Oct. 17. Despite the pandemic still raging in Mexico, few tourists wear masks when packed together inside the city's open-air clubs.
Pablo Garcia has worked for years as a driver shuttling tourists back and forth between the airport and a local five-star hotel. When the pandemic hit Mexico, he didn't think much of it at first. But as foreign travel began drying up in March, the 52-year-old was laid off. He spent six months out of work, his family barely managing to get by. "There were days when there was nothing to eat," says Garcia, who lives in a slum on the outskirts of Cancún. "It was really sad and awful to not have [money] for the water bill, for tortillas."
Some of his fellow drivers were called back to work in July. Then they started getting sick. Five of them died of Covid-19, he says, as did his next-door neighbor and the hotel owner. All six members of his household fell ill, his wife almost died and, in late July, his mother succumbed to the virus. "It was a tremendous blow," Garcia says. "She was the pillar of the family. We were devastated."
In October, with foreigners flocking back to Cancún, Garcia was called back to work. Driving tourists around in the close quarters of an airport shuttle may be risky, he admits, but like most workers in Cancún, he has little choice. "I don't have the luxury of feeling afraid," he says. "If we don't work, we don't eat."

The story of Cancún is emblematic of cities across Mexico: one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic, Mexico is facing soaring caseloads, economic distress and a government unwilling to provide meaningful financial aid. More than 1.4 million Mexicans have been infected with COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University, and more than 127,000 have died – the fourth highest number of deaths in the world. And the true figures may be far higher: by mid-November, 250,000 more people than usual had died in 2020, government figures show, an excess mortality rate that points to a much heavier death toll.
Official statistics often fail to capture those who avoid going to the hospital, thanks to widespread misinformation and a distrust of authority figures coupled with an ailing healthcare system. "It was widely rumored here that when you arrived at the hospital you would be killed," says Maria Menina, a Cancún resident who set up a local charity to help those out of work. "We know of entire families who were infected but nobody, nobody, nobody went to hospital."

And perhaps almost as devastating as the pandemic itself has been the economic aftershock. Economists predicted that Mexico's economy would contract by up to 9% in 2020, wiping out years of gains for a burgeoning middle class, and potentially pushing some 10 million people into extreme poverty based on income.
And unlike many other countries in Latin America, Mexico has so far refused to craft major stimulus packages or enact meaningful emergency aid. The leftist President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (or AMLO as he's commonly known) is committed to financial austerity and has instead focused on reopening the economy. "Before the pandemic, the situation was already quite complicated in terms of what could be done policywise to reduce poverty," says Hector Najera, an economist at National Autonomous University in Mexico City. "With the pandemic and the increases [in poverty] that we're seeing and the lack of public policy, I don't see how this fall in wages can be reversed."

Tourism may be among the industries hardest hit. One of the largest contributors to GDP, tourism accounts for more than 8% of Mexico's economic output and provides millions of jobs, but as international travel plummets thanks to the pandemic, the industry is in free fall. The sector could see losses worth up to $129 billion, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, with close to 5 million people expected to lose work, or nearly 70% of the country's tourism workforce. Mexico, which receives the most visitors of any country in Latin America, is especially vulnerable, with the pandemic still out of control and government aid proving scant.
According to the National Tourism Business Council, the contribution of tourism to Mexico's GDP could drop by nearly half thanks to the pandemic. "Tourism cannot exist without mobility," says Braulio Arsuaga, the Council's president. "These numbers … suggest an enormous challenge for the industry, an enormous challenge for the country."
Cancún, a city built in 1970 as a tourist destination, is suffering. From January 2020 to November 2020, just 2.8 million foreign visitors arrived at the city's airport, compared with about 7.1 million during the same period in 2019, a drop of over 60%. "The situation is still very sad here in Quintana Roo," says Menina, the charity worker. "The hotels aren't working at 100% capacity … so they have very little personnel. Many people are permanently unemployed."
Heidi Hernandez, 29, and her sister Julisa, with Heidi's 2-month-old baby at home, in Tres Reyes, a shanty-town located on the outskirts of Cancún, on Oct. 16. Heidi's baby was due in the middle of the pandemic, but no midwife wanted to help her deliver at home, so Heidi ended up giving birth in the hospital, despite her fear of the virus.
With its all-inclusive resorts, its spring break decadence and its postcard-perfect beaches, Cancún is synonymous with the good life for most Americans. But for thousands of poor and Indigenous Mexicans from nearby rural states, the city has been a powerful magnet for finding work: according to a 2013 study from Mexico's National Population Council, more than half of Quintana Roo's inhabitants are migrants from elsewhere in Mexico. The city and its flow of tourist dollars provide income for hundreds of thousands of workers, who often support entire families in their home states.
Among them is Maria Jimenez, 27, who grew up in an Indigenous Tzotzil family in nearby Chiapas state, among Mexico's poorest. One of 13 children, Jimenez dreamed of becoming a human rights lawyer to help fight the injustices she saw in her community growing up. But when she turned 15, her parents said they could no longer support her and tried to take her out of school. So like many young people across southern Mexico, Jimenez escaped to Cancún in search of work and, eventually, an education. "I wanted to be somebody," Jimenez recalls.

But once in Cancún, life got in the way. The long hours working as a cleaner and then in a spa didn't leave much time for school, and after a few years she became pregnant with her first child. A second followed soon after. Still, Jimenez enjoyed working in the tourism industry, especially learning English from guests. "I like seeing people happy," she says.
In 2019, she got a job in the restaurant of a large hotel as a busser, earning about $37 a week plus tips. She'd gone back to school as well, with just five subjects left to finish her high school diploma. At the start of 2020, the hotel said they were going to promote her to server. "This was going to be my lucky year," she says. "Then everything falls apart."
At the end of March, as Mexico declared a health emergency to slow the spread of the virus, Jimenez was let go. She began selling desserts from home to make ends meet, but soon after, she was evicted. In the middle of a pandemic, the single mother had to find a new place to live. To pay the security deposit, she sold her fridge. "I was drowning," Jimenez says. "I lost hope."
On a Friday morning in October, TIME met Jimenez standing in line outside a local charity waiting for a food parcel to help feed her children. Finally she'd had some good news: her old job had called her back to start work. She would be going back to bussing, but it was something. "I'm very excited that I'm going to have an income," she says.
Still, the shadow of the illness that took two of her uncles hangs over her. "I feel a bit of relief, and at the same time, I have two kids," she says. "It worries me … If I get sick, what's going to happen to them?"

The fear of contracting COVID-19 is commonly voiced among Cancún's tourism workers—particularly the risk posed by Americans, who made up 82% of international arrivals to the city in November, and are traveling from a country where the virus is infecting more than 200,000 people a day. The contagion can also go both ways: in nearby Tulum, a five-day festival became a superspreader event, with revelers dancing in the hundreds inside underground caves, some of them reportedly bringing the virus back to the U.S. Following an uptick in cases in early December, the governor of Quintana Roo issued a statewide mask mandate, and urged residents not to hold parties or gatherings in the holiday period.
Angie Robert, 22, lost her job at Hooters when the pandemic started, but found work as a shop manager inside one of the city's all-inclusive resorts in July. At the time, masks weren't required for guests, and few people wore them. Soon, her colleagues started getting sick. "The ambulance would come and take away the workers," she tells me as she waits at a bus stop looking exhausted after a long shift. "I was scared thinking I would be next."
Since then, Robert says the hotel put a mask mandate in place and now almost everyone wears one. Her colleagues aren't getting sick anymore, but Robert is still worried. "We all know that if you get infected, you're going to be left without work," she says.
Many visitors remain relatively unconcerned. In my hotel one morning, an American woman in her 60s walked into the tiny elevator, saw my own mask and made a half-hearted effort to put on her own. "I hate these things," she says. Later that night at a convenience store, I watched a young American guy buy two packets of instant noodles, using the collar of his tank top to half cover his nose and mouth.

On a lively Saturday evening, an American newlywed couple were walking home to their hotel through the crowded nightlife district. Zade and his wife Suzanne, who declined to give their last names, weren't wearing masks, but insisted they always wore them indoors. Zade's sister works as an ER nurse in New York City, so at first he'd been afraid of the virus, particularly for his parents. But after spending months in lockdown, he'd had enough. "There's a point where it's like, How long do you live with something like this?" he says. "If something is going to happen to me, it's going to happen to me."
Such carefree attitudes cause frequent frustration among Cancún's workers, but for a city that depends almost entirely on tourist dollars, the risk posed by maskless Americans is a necessary one. "We live day-to-day," says Garcia, the driver. "We live from tourism."
Back outside the Coco Bongo, 38-year-old Omar was wearing a mask of a different kind. Along with about half a dozen other young men, Omar, who asked that his last name be omitted, works as a Jim Carey impersonator, donning a lurid green mask and a canary yellow suit to pose for photos with tourists.
Omar stopped working in March when the pandemic struck, and had been back at work for only two weeks. Business was still slow, and he worried about feeding his wife and two children. But as far as the risk posed by the coronavirus, he simply shrugged. "If I don't die of COVID, I'm going to die of hunger."

Ex-sect members tell AP that prosecutors obstructed abuse cases
It's one of the most important lessons of investigative journalism: One good story can lead to another. Don't give up after the first round. Keep digging.
That's what Mitch Weiss of the national investigative team did after his explosive first story on the Word of Faith Fellowship. His follow-up story earns the Beat of the Week.
It took Weiss many months to persuade 43 former members of the Fellowship to open up – on the record and identified – with stories of adults and children being slapped, punched, choked and slammed to the floor in the name of the Lord. But getting so many of the reluctant ex-congregants to talk was only the start of his journalistic journey.

Exclusive data analysis, reporting on child abuse reveal worrying pandemic trend, heartbreaking tale
A true multiformat team of AP journalists produced this Only on AP piece by tracking down data on child abuse from every state to reveal a worrying trend: Reports of abuse are down while signs of severity are up. The team complemented that dogged data work and hard news with the tragic story of one girl who fell through the cracks during the pandemic.
Acting on information sourced by video journalist Manuel Valdes, Seattle reporter Sally Ho coordinated the 50-state data survey and an ambitious analysis with data journalist Camille Fassett. Ho also read through hundreds of child abuse reports to find the case of 9-year-old Ava Lerario, killed by her father in a small Pennsylvania town. Ho worked with Philadelphia photojournalists Matt Rourke and Matt Slocum, and New York video journalist David Martin, to tell the story of about how the system failed Ava.
The team's deeply reported package drew remarkably high reader engagement, and many news outlets localized the work using AP's data distribution.
For exposing another disturbing inequality stemming from the pandemic, Ho and colleagues Valdes, Fassett, Rourke, Slocum and Martin share this week's Best of the States award.

AP package marks 20th anniversary of legal same-sex marriage
showcased AP's global reach with a package marking the 20th anniversary of the Netherlands becoming the first country with legal same-sex marriages. Far more sweeping than a routine anniversary story, the coverage coordinated by New York-based national writer Crary and Netherlands chief correspondent Corder included an interview with one of the first couples married 20 years ago in the Netherlands. And with the help of multiple AP bureaus, it also detailed the uneven progress of same-sex marriage worldwide — now legal in 28 countries.In Amsterdam, the package was 20 years in the making — since April 1, 2001, when photographer Dejong documented the historic weddings. He re-edited those photos, then tracked down one of the couples he photographed in 2001; he and freelance video journalist Furtula persuaded the couple to grant an on-camera interview at their home.Back in the U.S., Goodman, photo editor for the Top Stories Hub, spent hours searching AP photo archives for images of milestone same-sex marriages around the world, producing a striking 24-photo package that included Dejong's then-and-now photos. And top stories artist Francois Duckett created an interactive map showing the countries that have legalized same-sex marriage. AP's impressive body of work won plaudits on social media and extensive play.https://bit.ly/3fRHFDLhttps://bit.ly/3sSZ3fi

Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
On 11 March 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, Japan, triggered the worst tsunami in recorded Japanese history. The tsunami waves reached up to 40 meters and traveled inland more then 10 kilometers. The earthquake and tsunami killed more than 15,000 people and destroyed entire towns and infrastructure along Japan's eastern coast. In the Fukushima prefecture, the tsunami flooded the entire Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (located directly at the Pacific coast), causing explosions and fires and destroying the power lines that supplied the reactor cooling systems for the plant. As a result, reactors 1, 2, and 3 experienced full core meltdowns. The entire area was evacuated and high radiation levels have been detected in and around the Fukushima plant. The worst nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, the Fukushima nuclear disaster caused worldwide public concern and discussion about the safety and future of nuclear energy. As a result, many governments have been re-evaluating their existing nuclear power programs. Following the incident, the German government decided to shut down eight older nuclear plants immediately and to phase out nuclear power plants entirely by 2022.

Sophia Amoruso, founder of fashion site NastyGal.
LONDON — British online fashion retailer Boohoo.com is bidding $20 million (£16.3 million) for the brand and customer list of bankrupt US clothing brand Nasty Gal.
Founded in 2006 in Los Angeles, Nasty Gal began as an eBay shop for vintage clothing. It specialises in fashion for young women, marketing itself as an edgy brand indicative of LA's carefree attitude.
Nasty Gal's founder, Sophia Amoruso, has become a business icon in America, writing the New York Times best-selling book #Girlboss, which is being turned into a Netflix series. Amoruso has stepped back from the business in recent years.
Despite strong early growth and popularity, venture capital-backed Nasty Gal has struggled in recent years. It had revenues of $77.1 million (£62.8 million) in the year to February 1, according to Boohoo, but made a loss of $21 million (£17.1 million) in the same financial year. It filed for bankruptcy protection in early November.
Industry blog the Business of Fashion suggested the company's demise was driven by over-ambitious investment in infrastructure such as warehouses and high fixed costs. Nasty Gal raised $65 million (£52.9 million) in total, with $49 million (£39.9 million) coming from well-known European VC house Index Ventures.
Boohoo said in a statement to the market on Wednesday that Nasty Gal is "a bold and distinctive brand for fashion-forward, free-thinking young women which the Board believes would complement boohoo's own inclusive and inspirational brand." Boohoo says it hopes the deal will accelerate its international expansion, particularly in the US.
Boohoo.com was founded in Manchester in 2006, the same year as Nasty Gal, and offers own-brand "fast fashion" — cheap and trendy — to millennials online.
The deal is subject to US bankruptcy proceedings and requires court approval, which Boohoo.com said it will seek on January 5. Russ Mould, investment director at stockbroker AJ Bell, cautions in an email on Wednesday morning: "Nasty Gal would add a well-established, global brand to the boohoo family but its bid may not result in a transaction if higher or more favourable offers are obtained by Nasty Gal during the auction process."
Boohoo.com joint CEOs Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane said in a statement: "Should we be successful in acquiring Nasty Gal it would represent a fantastic opportunity to add such a well-established, global brand to the Boohoo family.
"Following our recent acquisition of PrettyLittleThing.com, we believe this would represent an ideal next step in inspiring an ever-growing range of young customers internationally."

S/13791
ORIGINAL: ENGLISH/FRENCH
LETTER DATED 11 FEBRUARY 1980 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE
OF TUNISIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE SECURITY COUNCIL
I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a letter from the Permanent Observer of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
I request you to have it circulated as a document of the Security Council.
(Signed) M'Hamed ESSAAFI
Permanent Observer
Letter dated 7 February 1980 from the Permanent Observer of the
Palestine Liberation Organization to the United Nations
Addressed to the President of the Security Council
Upon the instructions of Chairman Yaser Arafat, I have the honour to draw to your attention the recent serious violations which have occurred in the city of Hebron in occupied Palestinian territory.
On Thursday, 31 January, the Israeli forces of occupation placed a curfew on Hebron, bringing a halt to the life of that city, thereby imposing collective punishment on its entire population, in apparent retaliation for the killing of an occupation soldier in the city.
On Friday, Moslems were prevented by the curfew from attending prayers and carrying out their religious obligations in Al Haram Al Ibrahimi. Jewish residents of the nearby illegal Qiryat Arba settlement were allowed into town for prayers in Al Haram Al Ibrahimi the following day and took advantage of the opportunity to tear out a microphone from the mosque, thereby preventing the broadcast of the Moslem call to prayer over the loudspeakers in the minaret and further impeding the free exercise of religion by Hebron's Moslems.
The New York Times reported that on the same day, yeshiva students from the settlement attacked Palestinian residents with a barrage of stones and rocks, one of which struck a 70-year-old man, blinding him in one eye.
When the curfew over the city is periodically lifted, armed Jewish settlers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, are allowed to enter the city, with the pretext of visiting the holy places. In fact, the purpose behind such visits is to provoke and antagonize the Palestinian inhabitants by reasserting the Jewish presence in that city.
According to Radio Israel, the Israeli Military Governor General in the Palestinian territories is personally conducting this operation of collective punishment, which is reminiscent of Nazi operations in occupied Europe. Hebron is under siege. Schools and educational institutions are closed. Citizens are receiving extremely inhuman treatment. They are called out at night and exposed in the open for long periods of time. At this time of year Hebron is very cold, temperatures reaching 0 degrees Celsius.
For seven days the blockade restrictions were such that even food supplies were not permitted into Hebron. Hundreds have been arrested and the residents of Qaytoun, Zahed, and Alsheikh were forcibly expelled from their homes.
We wish to recall that the Security Council had met in the past to consider Israeli violations and provocation's that posed a threat to international peace and security.
In recent months there has been an upsurge in incidents of violence on the
part of the settlers of Qiryat Arba directed towards the Palestinian residents of Hebron and its environs. In March 1979 Israeli soldiers and civilians fired into a crowd in Hebron, killing two Palestinians. Although arrests were made in the case, no convictions were handed out. In May 1979 Jewish settlers broke into homes in Hebron, attacking the Palestinian residents, smashing furniture and whatever else they could get their hands on. The idea behind that attack, according to one of its perpetrators, as reported by The New York Times, was "to show the Arabs that they had no right to live there". In December these Zionist hoodlums went on a rampage in the market area of the nearby village of Halhoul, assaulting the clientele of the shops, smashing window, and destroying merchandise.
Chairman Arafat wishes to assert that the resumption of this campaign of intimidation and terror will only lead to an exacerbation of the already explosive situation and he calls upon the Security Council to take the necessary action to put an end to this intolerable situation by dealing with its root cause, namely, the prolonged, illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
(Signed) Zehdi Labib TERZI
