Nothing feels more nurturing on a cold winter day than a pot of stew bubbling over the stove. Chicken and root vegetables are inexpensive ingredients that can be combined to make a satisfying meal for a large crowd.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pot.
Brown the chicken drumsticks, then set aside.
Add the rest of the olive oil to the pot.
Saute the onion and leeks over medium heat until the onion is translucent.
Saute them with the onion for a few minutes.
Add the dry bay leaf.
Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer.
Cook the stew for 60 minutes.

Ehinger Ambrosius
(c. 1500—1533)
Ambrosius Ehinger, also Ambrosio Alfínger in Spanish, Dalfinger, Thalfinger, was a German conquistador and the first governor of the Welser concession, also known as "Little Venice" (Klein-Venedig), in New Granada, now Venezuela and Colombia.
Ehinger was a factor in Madrid for the Welser banking family when they began planning for the colonization of New Granada. The Welsers appointed him as the first governor, and sent as his deputy the Spaniard Luis González de Leyva. They arrived in Coro in 1529 with 281 colonists and called the new colony "Little Venice" (Klein-Venedig). Almost immediately Ehinger replaced González de Leyva with Nicolaus Federmann.
In August 1529 Ehinger made his first expedition to Lake Maracaibo which was bitterly opposed by the indigenous people, the Coquibacao. After winning a series of bloody battles, he founded the settlement at Maracaibo on September 8, 1529. Ehinger named the city Neu Nürnberg (New Nuremberg) and the lake after the valiant chieftain of the Coquibacao, who had died in the fighting. The city was renamed Maracaibo after the Spanish took possession.
Ehinger came down with malaria and decided to recuperate in the relatively civilized comforts of Hispaniola, so he handed temporary authority over to Federmann on July 30, 1530.
Upon his return, Ehinger, with 40 horse and 130 foot soldiers and an uncounted number of allied Indians, set off from Coro on September 1, 1531 on his second expedition to the alleged gold country to the west. They crossed the Oca mountains, came over to Valledupar, along the Cesar River, and finally to the Zapatosa marsh. There the expedition rested about 3 months, then it continued south, where they met fierce resistance from the indigenous tribes, so they turned east, along the Lebrija River. During this expedition they were forced to eat their horses and dogs, and lost most of their Indian allies, many dying from the cold as they crossed the mountains. As they made their way home, they were attacked by the Chitareros on May 27, 1533. Ehinger and Captain Estéban Martín fled into a low-lying ravine, where they were pinned down by Indians shooting arrows. Ehinger received an arrow in the neck, unfortunately the arrow was poisoned. Despite the attentions of the Augustine father Vicente de Requejada, Ambrosius Ehinger died on May 31, 1533, and was buried under a tree. The expedition returned without him to Coro.

Q: Android BLE gattcallback issue on read and write I'm stuck in one weird problem from last week and it will make me mad soon, Stackoverflow is my last hope.
I simply wrote a code to communicate with BLE device. At first i'm just writing a value on characteristic.
public void writeEnableCredentials(String keysFn) {
    if ( sGattCharList != null) {
        Log.i("Callback WEC Method: ", "Start!!!/n" );
        String val = keysFn.substring(0, 2);
        String val2 = keysFn.substring(2, 4);
        int val_1 = Integer.parseInt(val);
        int val_2 = Integer.parseInt(val2);
        byte[] rk_byte_Value = new byte[1];
        final byte[] rk_byte_Value_2 = new byte[1];
        rk_byte_Value[0] = (byte)(val_1 & 0xFF);
        rk_byte_Value_2[0] = (byte)(val_2 & 0xFF);
        sGattCharList.get(1).setValue(rk_byte_Value);
        boolean ok = sBluetoothGatt.writeCharacteristic(sGattCharList.get(1));
        Log.i("Callback WEC Method: ", "1 Verified = " + ok);
        if(ok) {
            final Handler handler = new Handler();
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    sGattCharList.get(2).setValue(rk_byte_Value_2);
                    boolean ok = sBluetoothGatt.writeCharacteristic(sGattCharList.get(2));
                    Log.i("Callback WEC Method: ", "2 Verified = " + ok);
                }
            }, 100);
        }
    } else {
           Toast.makeText(activity, "Wait for services", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    Log.i("Callback WEC Method: ", "Stop!!!/n" );
}

BluetoothGattCallback methods are below:
private final BluetoothGattCallback sGattCallback = new BluetoothGattCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
        if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) {
            Log.i("CallbackGatt","Connecting with " + sDevice.getsMac());
            sBluetoothGatt.discoverServices();
        }
        else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
            sBluetoothGatt.close();
            Log.i("CallbackGatt", "Disconnected from GATT server.");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) {
        services_List = gatt.getServices();
        sGattCharList = services_List.get(3).getCharacteristics();
        Log.i("CallbackGatt","Characteristic List Found: " + sGattCharList);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCharacteristicWrite(BluetoothGatt gatt,
                                      BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic, int status) {
        if(status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
            byte[] bytes = characteristic.getValue();
            System.out.println("ON Characteristic WRITE Callback: " + characteristic.getUuid()+"    value: "+bytes);
        }
    }

};

ISSUE: This code is working perfectly on API>22. BUT on API<=22 BluetoothGattCallback are not working properly, sometime callback received but after running same build again i don't receive callbacks and characteristic don't wrote.

If you guys need any other detail please ask. Also please tell me what is: E/GKI_LINUX: GKI_exception, Thanks.

A: You need to wait for the write callback before you issue a new operation. Simply waiting 100 ms is never guaranteed to work since it may take longer time to get the callback.

« Get Rid Of Those Bagworms!
When we think of Spring Cleaning, it is typically the inside of our homes that we focus on. However, this is the best time of the year to take care of the small projects that have been piling up outside over the past winter. Getting your lawn and landscape ready for spring doesn't take much time or effort, but it will make a huge impact. Following the simple steps listed below will allow you to spend less time worrying about your property throughout the coming seasons and more time enjoying the sunshine.
Start by taking a step back and really look at your property. Check for any bare areas in your lawn. Any bare areas can be seeded to help promote new growth and a fuller, lusher lawn. Take a rake and scratch the exposed dirt areas with the tines. Spread your seed evenly and cover the area with straw. Make sure to water these areas daily over the next two to three weeks.
The next step is to help protect the grass that your already have. Apply a nitrogen based fertilizer to the areas that are not newly seeded. This fertilizer will promote growth and the bright green color that we all want in our lawns. Along with the fertilizer, apply a pre-emergent to prevent crabgrass and other pesky weeds from germinating.
After assessing and taking care of your lawn, it is time to check your landscaped areas, such as flower beds and gardens. Remove any weeds that have already germinated. Apply a product that will keep your gardens weed free throughout the year. Check with your local garden center or nursery before applying any products on your beds. They will be able to help you choose the best product to prevent weeds while protecting your soil and plants.
Finally, it is time to add some pops of color to your landscape. Planting perennials and annuals will provide you with a balanced look. There are so many options to choose from and each of them adds a different character and charm. After planting, finish the process by spreading a layer of mulch. Shredded black mulch looks the best, but you can choose whichever mulch you think will complement your home.
Now that you have completed your Spring Clean-Up, it is time to sit back and enjoy your home with friends and family. Getting the bulk of the work out of the way early will give you a much needed break when the heat of the summer rolls around. All you will need to do now is put in an hour or two of maintenance each week and your property will shine throughout the year.
If you need help with your fertilization, Spring Clean-Up, or choosing and planting the best looking plants for your home, call Paramount. We can take care of everything for you!

This store had us at "vintage coats." We have picked up some awesome ones at Everyday People, and for cheap — not to mention mod dresses from the '60s, rad '70s cardigans, and loud '80s miniskirts. There's an eclectic selection here; not everything is vintage, as modern trendy items are well represented, but everything is cool. The clothes, footwear, and accessories for men and women are filtered through the groovy aesthetic of the shop's buyers, who have great taste and sharp eyes. Nothing here is damaged or otherwise undesirable. Plus, the spacious digs of the Selby Avenue space and the friendliness of its staff make for a most pleasant shopping experience. Even your somewhat snotty, thrift store-averse friend will likely love this place, and maybe you can finally convince her that jeans and shoes are better when they're broken in anyway. Everyday People doesn't have stores in Minneapolis anymore, but that just makes it easier to score all your sweet finds in one location.

Appellate Division of this Department
A Suffolk Criminal Lawyer said that, at about 6:50 P.M. on January 19, 1981, Detective of the Suffolk County Police Department Homicide Squad went to premises commonly known and referred to as 8 Nina Place in Farmingville where the homicide giving rise to the prosecution of this action occurred. Upon arriving he was informed by Patrolman of this department that a certain individual had called the precinct the previous evening and reported that he had been threatened by a person known to him as "Billy the Kid," while the said individual had been at the above-mentioned premises. The patrolman stated that the only person he knew by that name was defendant who lived at 5 Roslyn Avenue in Selden.
A Suffolk Grand Larceny Lawyer said that, the following day, the detective called "Central Records" and was told that defendant had been arrested several times, the last having occurred on January 6, 1981, for a burglary. Defendant's arrest records, Exhibits D and E, show a number of arrests–approximately eleven–from December 19, 1979, to December 8, 1980, all with the notation "no disposition," but do not mention the January 6 arrest. Continuing with his investigation, the detective spoke to the other Detectives of the Fourth Squad Detectives who advised him that all of defendant's "troubles" stemmed from difficulties he was having as the result of his relationship with a married woman, who lived in a neighboring community and that his last arrest, the one on January 6, came about when either she or her husband charged defendant with assault, trespass, burglary, and harassment.
A Suffolk Robbery Lawyer said that, sometime during January 21, a call was received by a Patrolman of the Fourth Squad Detectives from defendant's mother seeking help for him. Defendant had, at this point, been taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital along with the married woman after an automobile accident which occurred while they were enroute to a motel. It should be noted that defendant had become the patrolman's informant after the latter had arrested defendant on December 8, 1980, as the result of a burglary complaint made by the girlfriend's husband. After this earlier arrest, defendant had been advised by the patrolman to get a lawyer, but defendant insisted it was "all bullshit going to Family Court."
The patrolman learning that Homicide was interested in criminal defendant called the detective and informed him that defendant wanted to talk to the patrolman about pressing charges against his girlfriend, because she had forced valium on the defendant. It was ultimately agreed by the detective and the patrolman that they would go to the hospital to talk to defendant. Prior to leaving, the detective encountered Assistant District Attorney, Chief of the Major Offense Bureau, who was at Homicide on an unrelated matter. The Assistant District Attorney, after learning from the detective and the patrolman that defendant had several prior pending charges, instructed the detective to inquire if defendant had an attorney, and that if defendant did not, it would be permissible to talk to him.
A Suffolk Petit Larceny Lawyer said that, at the hospital, defendant recounted for the officers the events leading to his and the married woman's hospitalization, and informed them that he wanted to "sue" the married woman for her having forced the valium into him. At this point defendant asked if they would help him. The detective then asked defendant who his lawyer would be against the married woman. The defendant responded that he didn't have a lawyer. The detective then inquired further by expressing disbelief that one with as many arrests as defendant had did not have a lawyer. Defendant said that he did not, that, these arrests were "bullshit" arrests, that they were girlfriend and boyfriend arguments, that they would be resolved in the Family Court, and that he did not need a lawyer.
The officers were unaware that on January 16, 1981, defendant had failed to appear in the County Court for sentencing on convictions for Grand larceny in the second degree and Attempted burglary in the second degree. It should be added that the patrolman processed the December 8 arrest as Petit larceny, issued defendant an appearance ticket, did not know what happened to those charges, and made no inquiry as to their status. A decision was made not to arrest the defendant on the evening of January 21. It was decided to leave the defendant in the hospital. The following day, defendant signed himself out of the hospital and was then placed under arrest at 1:30 P.M.
The issue in this case is whether the voluntary of statements made by the defendant to officers of the Suffolk County Police Department are admissible in evidence.
Turning to the issues raised in a previous case decision, the Court of Appeals therein fastened upon the police the obligation to ascertain whether a defendant known to his interrogators to have been arrested a few days earlier for a serious crime, arson, was represented by counsel before an otherwise admissible statement can be taken from him. It is no longer permissible to rely on defendant's declaration of the assistance of counsel alone. The Court in a four-to-three decision speaking through Associate Judge declared: "Hence, the interrogating detectives here, with actual knowledge of the outstanding arson charge against defendant, were under an obligation to inquire whether defendant was represented by an attorney on that charge. Having failed to make such inquiry, the officers were chargeable with what such an inquiry would have disclosed–namely, that defendant did have an attorney acting on his behalf".
In a recent case decided by the Appellate Division of this Department, which involved a statement taken from a defendant who had charges pending against him "for some seven months previously" and who did not inform the police of this, a unanimous court rejected the argument that the police should be constructively charged with knowledge that he was represented by counsel. The case is instructive in that constructive knowledge imposes an impractical burden on law enforcement, either in examining the records of all the courts in the jurisdiction–and for that matter why not in this highly mobile society of ours contiguous jurisdictions as well–for each criminal defendant about to be interrogated or keeping meticulously accurate and up to the minute police records of dispositions for each arrest a person has been subjected to. Constructive knowledge presupposes an omniscient infallible system.
Having concluded the said case, supra does not impose a rule of constructive knowledge, the question remains as to what the rule is when an officer learns of recent arrests from either his agency's records or from a fellow officer, both of which occurred here. It was previously noted that constructive knowledge presupposes an omniscient infallible system, too great a burden to rest that rule on. In short, omniscience and infallibility are too much to expect of the record keeping process. This Court can see no reason why a less than perfect record keeping system should, without more, operate to the advantage of the persistent offender. This Court can see no reason why an officer who has made an arrest should, without more, be charged with knowing at any given time what the status of the arrestee is independent of what his agency's records show. The only practical alternative is to inquire of the defendant whether he has or has not counsel on previous charges.
Here, the detective was aware of prior arrests through his department's records. Here, the patrolman knew that defendant had been arrested recently because he, himself, had made the arrest. Yet, the records showed no disposition for each and every arrest. The only practical alternative was followed. The defendant, himself, was asked whether he had an attorney on the charges that were pending against him, and for whatever reason motivated him, chose to deny that there were in fact serious charges pending against him, charges which resulted in the imposition of a sentence of two and one third to seven years. One can only infer that he chose to hide these charges because he was afraid that divulging them would result in his immediate incarceration. The reasons he gave for not having an attorney sounded credible considering what the detective and the patrolman knew about him and his paramour. Having been untruthful for whatever his reasons were, he should not be heard to complain at this time that he was interrogated in the absence of criminal counsel on pending unrelated matters in the face of knowledge of recent arrests.
This Court concludes then that the defendant was unequivocally accorded his constitutional rights, knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived these rights and agreed to speak to the police and that the statements attributed to him were voluntary beyond a reasonable doubt.
Accordingly, the motion to suppress the statements he made to the police and the corrections officer is denied.
If your constitutional rights has been violated, seek the representation of a Suffolk Grand Larceny Attorney and Suffolk Robbery Attorney at Stephen Bilkis and Associates.

Now, for a change, have some Hungarian avant-garde metal that's not based on black metal. Watch My Dying are playing a kind of technical death/thrash metal with a lot of "industrial-esque" elements since 1999, and have released 3 full-length albums so far. "Klausztrofónia" is their debut full-length, released in 2004, and it's officially available as a free download off the band's site. I personally liked it better than, say, their 2009 album "Moebius" or their latest EP "4.1" (these ones are good too, though, but in a different way). I'd recommend "Klausztrofónia" to those who likes Machine Head, Fear Factory and other industrial/groove metal bands that are known for their aesthetic obsession with technology.


I know these questions have been asked before and I've scoured the community q&a's, but I still can't figure things out. I really wish these plugins would come with 'read me' docs.
1. I created new sites, but I get the "oops page doesn't exist" error. I read something about wildcard and not needing it for directories. I don't know what that means.
2. I disabled the free level by checking the "pay to blog" module, but wp-signup.php still doesn't require payment. I even used a different browser where I am just a guest to the site to sign up, and still the same.
3. Can I add the ability to purchase and/or add custom domains on the sign up page?
4. How do I remove the "account only" option at sign up?
5. I see all the installed plugins on the plugins page, but not all (non-network activated) plugins show up for the "premium plugins" selection page.
So this happens when visiting the new site? Is it a cPanel page?
If you are using a subdomain installation then you will need wild card setting up. If you are not sure how to do that then you might want to ask your host it would only take them a couple of moments to sort out for you.
Pro Sites is a blog upgrade plugin, so first they must have a blog before they can upgrade it.
The process is signup with WordPress, then there are multiple pointers about upgrading the blog. Using Pay To Blog will redirect them to the payment options when they log into their site.
That isn't possible with this plugin, you would need to either be a registrar or a reseller with one, for example eNom.
Would you not want people registering with your site to comment and interact? Or must people who register on your network only be site webmasters?
I'm not sure I follow the question here, but think I understand.
Network activated plugins will not show on your users site or within the Pro Sites admin area for premium selection because they are already activated.
If its about plugin showing on user sites they should show for their levels unless they are network only plugins.
Timothy, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I have replied to your responses below. I didn't include my original questions to save space. I hope that's okay.
1. So this happens when visiting the new site? Is it a cPanel page?
I contacted my host about the wildcard. They told me to add subdomain with an asterisk (*). I had to wait a while before the subdomains of the prosites worked. Unfortunately I had to open a support ticket because there were no WP installations for the prosites. Will update this when I hear back.
2. Pro Sites is a blog upgrade plugin, so first they must have a blog before they can upgrade it.
Could I get away with my intention to have people register for paid sites by offering a #day free trial rather than a free account/level?
3. That isn't possible with this plugin, you would need to either be a registrar or a reseller with one, for example eNom.
Basically I just want to create a web hosting network, but without having to do a reseller program with a host or involve cPanel for my hostees. My goal is for them to basically sign up a site and as soon as they're registered they can log into a premade wordpress site.
I still don't understand the Domain Mapping thing.
4. Would you not want people registering with your site to comment and interact? Or must people who register on your network only be site webmasters?
SOLVED! This worked. Thank you!
5. I'm not sure I follow the question here, but think I understand.
I am testing all my network admin modifications with the site admin side so I assumed that it was set at the highest level.
If I just add plugins to a particular template, do I still have to have "premium plugins" module activated?
Also I have the "auto activate" option checked, yet that action doesn't occur.
When you say there were no WP installations for the prosites, I'm not sure how you mean, sorry?
Sure this would let them get in, set their site up and then it expire and then cut them off after the time frame. Good promotional thing as well with a try before you buy type of thing.
You don't have to do a reseller program or involve cPanel. Even though WHMCS does all that doesn't mean you have to use it for that.
You could just use it to sell domain names and set up sites within your WordPress multisite network. WHMCS also offer a leasing option so you don't need a reseller account or to buy it outright.
Lets also assume that subsite2.domain.com is your clients site but they don't want subsite2.domain.com to be their url but instead want their own domain name like superclients-domain.com Well with this plugin you can make their blog at subsite2.domain.com resolve with superclients-domain.com instead thus making it look like its own independent website.
The site admin should only be able to activate plugins which are available to their level or lower.
Auto activate should happen as they upgrade and move on to that level. Are you adding auto activate once the site was setup?
I still don't follow this, sorry?
How do you add plugins to templates?
If you wish to offer premium plugins then this should be activated in your Pro Sites admin.

Вечером 15 ноября 2022 года во время российской ракетной атаки на Украину на территории Польши вблизи границы с Украиной, в районе села Пшеводув, произошёл взрыв, в результате которого погибли два человека. По неподтверждённым сообщениям, упали две ракеты советского производства. Польша является членом НАТО, и нападение России на её территорию могло вызвать военный ответ в соответствии с положениями договора о взаимной самообороне. Официальные лица в Польше и Европейском союзе позже заявили, что, по их мнению, единственная ракета, выпущенная украинскими войсками, сбилась с курса и приземлилась в Польше. Первоначальные выводы о том, что ракета была выпущена российскими войсками, появились, когда информации было недостаточно. Кроме того, вероятность попадания одной из ракет по территории Польши была не нулевая. Одним из городов Украины, попавших под удар, был Львов — со Львовской областью граничит Люблинское воеводство, где расположен Пшеводув, находящийся в 6 километрах от границы с Украиной. Генеральный секретарь НАТО Йенс Столтенберг заявил, что взрыв, вероятно, был вызван украинской ракетой ПВО, но ответственность за это лежит на России.

Взрыв
В 17:53 по местному времени польское  сообщило, что в 15:40 в селе Пшеводув на перегрузочных весах зернохранилища внезапно взорвался трактор с грузом, в результате чего погибли два человека. Однако уже в 18:54  со ссылкой на своего журналиста Мариуша Гершевски сообщило, что вблизи украинской границы упали две ракеты: они попали в зерносушилки. Два человека погибли, на место происшествия прибыли представители полиции, прокуратуры и войска. Позже на региональном новостном сайте lublin112.pl появилась информация о том, что ракета взорвалась прямо рядом с прицепом трактора и оставила большую воронку на месте взрыва. Двое погибших — сотрудники зернохранилища. В нескольких десятках метров от зернохранилища — жилые кварталы.

Дальнейший ход событий

Освещение в СМИ
Associated Press со ссылкой на представителя американской разведки писали, что упавшие ракеты могли быть российскими. Но через день новость была удалена из сети и заменена примечанием об исправлении. За первоначальным отчётом последовал день ажиотажа на медиа-платформах. Даже когда журналисты сообщали осторожно, в дальнейшем нюансы терялись. Например, в эфире CBS Evening News репортёр Крис Ливси подчеркнул, что ракеты могли быть российскими или украинскими. Но в твите CBS с его репортажем уже говорилось: «РОССИЙСКИЙ РАКЕТНЫЙ УДАР».

21 ноября издание Daily Beast сообщило об увольнении из Associated Press корреспондента Джеймса ЛаПорты, который сообщил эту новость, за нарушение редакционных стандартов. Информация приписывалась одному «высокопоставленному сотруднику разведки США», несмотря на правило, которое требует получать подтверждение более чем от одного источника, когда они анонимны. В тот день ЛаПорта сообщил своим редакторам, что старший менеджер редакции уже проверил его источник. Из-за этого они подумали, что он уже был одобрен, и разрешили поставить заметку лишь с одним подтвержденным источником, что делается в AP лишь в исключительных случаях. Сам корреспондент отказался от комментариев.

Позже агентство сообщило, по данным трёх источников, что ракета была выпущена украинскими войсками по российской ракете.

Расследование
Пресс-секретарь противопожарной службы Марцин Лебедович подтвердил, что на территории села Пшеводув произошли взрывы. Точные причины неизвестны, два человека погибли на месте происшествия. По предварительным выводам, трактор, въехав на весы зерносушилки, внезапно взорвался.

Премьер-министр Польши Матеуш Моравецкий созвал экстренное заседание комитета по делам национальной безопасности и обороны. Официальный представитель правительства Петр Мюллер призывал не публиковать неподтвержденную информацию. Пентагон заявил, что не может подтвердить сообщения о том, что две российские ракеты упали на территории Польши.

Польский военный эксперт  предположил, что это может быть российская крылатая ракета или ракета украинской ПВО, склоняясь к первому варианту.

OSINT-специалисты на основе фото и видео утверждают, что обломки похожи на часть двигателя советской ракеты комплекса С-300. Польское издание Lublin112 также отметило, что на найденных осколках взорвавшейся ракеты нет маркировки, которая могла бы указывать на происхождение снаряда. На опубликованных в соцсетях снимках обломков снаряда заметны отверстия на частях, соединяющих отсеки, напоминающие части снарядов от зенитно-ракетных комплексов С-300. Похожие обломки уже были замечены в других конфликтах с использованием этих боеприпасов. При этом часть с маркировкой могла быть сколота взрывом. С-300 стоят на вооружении и России, и Украины.

Польские ВВС подняли в воздух истребители. Власти Польши повысили боеготовность некоторых воинских частей. Также начал обсуждаться вопрос, приводить ли в действие статью 4 договора НАТО. Она предусматривает консультации между странами-членами альянса, если безопасность или территориальная целостность одной из них находится под угрозой.

В МИД Польши заявили, что на территорию страны упала ракета российского производства. Ведомство вызвало посла России. В то же время президент Польши Анджей Дуда заметил, что точных доказательств того, кто запустил ракету, нет. Позже президент Польши заявил, что признаков преднамеренного нападения на Польшу нет, и ракета, вероятно, была использована украинской ПВО. Премьер-министр государства Матеуш Моравецкий, в свою очередь, усомнился в необходимости запуска процедуры НАТО по статье 4.

Президент США Джо Байден заявил, что, что маловероятно, что ракета, упавшая на территории Польши накануне, была запущена из России. «По предварительной информации, это опровергается. Я не хочу об этом говорить, пока мы не проведём полное расследование. Но, исходя из линии траектории, маловероятно, что она была выпущена из России. Посмотрим».

Президент Польши заявил, что «ничто не указывает на то, что это была атака на Польшу» и «есть большая вероятность, что ракета, упавшая на территорию Польши, принадлежала ПВО Украины». Он назвал падение ракеты «несчастным случаем». Премьер-министр сообщил, что необходимости применять статью 4 договора НАТО (о консультациях в случае угрозы), «вероятно, нет». Генсек НАТО Йенс Столтенберг озвучил ту же версию: альянс не видит признаков, что Россия планирует нападение на него.

Президент Польши сказал, что, вероятно, в Пшеводуве упала ракета, выпущенная украинскими силами ПВО из комплекса С-300. Генсек НАТО подтвердил версию с украинской ракетой: «Наш предварительный анализ показывает, что причиной инцидента, вероятно, стала украинская ракета, выпущенная, чтобы защитить украинскую территорию от российских крылатых ракет».

США возложили на Россию ответственность за падение ракет на территории Польши вне зависимости от того, какими будут результаты расследования.

Украинские следователи приехали в Пшеводув и смогли осмотреть остатки ракеты и воронку, но никаких процессуальных действий не производили, так как по закону это противоречило бы процедуре следствия. Польское издание Rzeczpospolita со ссылкой на свои источники сообщило, что украинские следователи не будут допущены польской прокуратурой до расследования.

Реакция
В день инцидента российский фондовый рынок показал резкое падение.

Глава постоянного представительства России при ООН Дмитрий Полянский заявил, что взрыв в селе у границы с Украиной, в результате которого погибли два человека, является попыткой спровоцировать прямое столкновение России и НАТО.

Президент Украины Владимир Зеленский обвинил Россию в попадании ракет на территорию Польши. Издание Politico со ссылкой на трёх «западных» политиков сообщило, что 16 и 17 ноября высшие американские чиновники связывались с офисом Владимира Зеленского и попросили президента Украины осторожно говорить о падении ракеты в Польше. Также американцы обратились к союзникам из НАТО воздержаться от однозначных заявлений до окончания расследования, которое ведёт Польша.

Министр иностранных дел Латвии Эдгарс Ринкевичс, не дожидаясь завершения расследования, заявил, что «российские ракеты, попадающие на территорию страны-члена НАТО, очень опасная эскалация со стороны Кремля».

Президент Турции Реджеп Эрдоган заявил, что он доверяет заявлению России о том, что российские ракеты не поражали территорию Польши. Согласно его заявлению, Россия не имеет отношения к произошедшему, что в том числе подтверждается ранее сделанным заявлением Джо Байдена.

21 ноября Польша приняла предложение Германии разместить системы ЗРК Patriot на границе с Украиной.

Оценки
Издание Visegrád 24 допустило, что при программировании ракеты могла произойти ошибка, из-за которой ввели неправильные координаты, так как место падения ракеты находится на широте Киева и долготе Львова — 50,47099 широты, 23,93432 долготы. «Агентство» обратило внимание, что координаты с долготой места падения ракеты имеют торгово-складские помещения рядом с железнодорожной станцией во Львове. А на широте пострадавшего хозяйства в Польше расположен киевский завод «Ленинская кузня». Также всего на 19″ севернее находится Киевская районная электростанция. Visegrád 24 также отмечает, что от обстрелов накануне также пострадала Добротворская ТЭС, которая находится на Украине в нескольких километрах от польского села.

По мнению военных аналитиков из проекта Conflict Intelligence Team, попадание ракеты, выпущенной из зенитно-ракетного комплекса, на территорию другой страны — не редкость. Например, в 2019 году в ходе войны в Сирии войска правительства Башара Асада попали по территории самопровозглашенной Турецкой республики Северного Кипра ракетой С-200. В 2020 году во время Второй Карабахской войны, скорее всего, азербайджанская ракета С-300 упала в Дагестане.

Подобные случаи

29 декабря 2022 года обломки ракеты украинского ЗРК С-300 упали около деревни  Ивановского района Брестской области. Минобороны Белоруссии заявило, что ракета была сбита силами войск противовоздушной обороны Республики. Пресс-секретарь Воздушных сил ВСУ Юрий Игнат сообщил, что падение обломков ракет на территорию соседних государств возможно, и возложил вину за подобные инциденты на Россию.

10 февраля 2023 года главнокомандующий ВСУ Валерий Залужный сообщил о двух ракетах, выпущенной Россией, вошедших в воздушное пространство Молдовы и Румынии, которая входит в НАТО, после чего снова вошли в воздушное пространство Украины в месте пересечения границ трёх государств. По словам представителя Воздушных сил Украины Юрия Игната, украинские военные могли сбить эти ракеты, но понимая риски и угрозы населению иностранного государства, сразу этого не сделали. По данным агентства Reuters, в министерстве обороны Румынии заявили, что не могут подтвердить сообщение о пролёте ракет, а Молдова подтвердила, что российская ракета входила в её воздушное пространство.

Wingo Gave Amnesty To El Chapone
El Chapone in court under heavy guard by officers from Police Special Command.
Kingdom of Lego's Prime Minister Rito Wingo has given amnesty to suspected drug lord El Chapone, who is currently in prison for not paying enough tax.
El Chapone is a close associate of Wingo's son and is also an investor in Wingo's property firm.
King Arius however has blocked the amnesty, and therefore creating a constitutional crisis. Never before has the King of Lego blocked an amnesty process.
Wingo blamed the King for the crisis, saying that El Chapone has served enough time in prison. He was sent to prison for 20 years but has served only 2 years.
"He did not pay taxes, that's all. There is no evidence that he is a drug lord", claimed Wingo.
The Royal Police has stated their opposition to El Chapone being released early. The opposition Royal Party claims Wingo's request is a clear signal that he is corrupted.
In view of King Arius' opposition to the amnesty, Wingo has tabled a bill to abolish the monarchy, which has faced stiff opposition in Parliament.
The Royal Party has urged all subjects to protest against Wingo's authoritarian policy and threat to the King.
Meanwhile, Wingo has directed the Police to investigate members of the Royal Party for corruptions.
"I heard rumours that someone had sponsored "brick burgers" and chips for the Royal Party dinner event last week. It is corruption at the highest level", claimed Wingo.

Q: How to Exact String value out side of tag xml or html and I have to store it in list using java? I am having string like
String str="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><head><heading>Appliance Repairs</heading></head><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Appliance Repairs<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Air conditioning and refrigeration services<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Accountants<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Accident Management"

Here I have to extract only the string which was present outside of the tag.
output I required here is given below::
Appliance Repairs
Appliance Repairs
Air conditioning and refrigeration services
Accident Management

And I have to store these value into List, help me for this .. thanks in advance

A: Use SAXParser. Inherit your handler from DefaultHandlder, and override characters to concatenate string parts coming from the parser (you can use StringBuilder for that).
Clear the builder in  startElement; add the finished string to your list in endElement.
Here is a link to a quick tutorial on parsing XML in Java using SAX parser.

A: You have to use regular expressions. I think that regex are so useful that there is no sense in writing the direct solution to your problem. I would recommend you to get familiar with them and try them out on your own. In the future you will be using regex quite often so there is no sense in cutting corners. Here is a quite good tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/JavaRegularExpressions/article.html

Architect Amy Gardner Re-thinks the Suburban Tear-Down
General / People / Places / February 15, 2010
Architect Amy Gardner believes that tear-downs are not the only solution to our slowly deteriorating inventory of mid-century split-levels on prime suburban lots. There are, she said, smarter ways to go.
"To toss them is irresponsible," she said. "I love working with that vintage, but they need retrofit and weatherization. They don't age well."
Many of them were built fast to meet a post-World War II housing demand driven in part by white flight from urban centers.
"In the '50s, they were looking for shortcuts," she said. "There was a great need for more units quickly. A lot of them were not particularly well-built – the windows were not decent quality, they were poorly insulated and there was no moisture barrier. The materials were just not the best quality."
But that doesn't mean the buildings need to be removed. Often, they simply need to be re-thought.
Case in point: her recent renovation of a classic 1957 split-level on a half-acre in a Bethesda, Md. subdivision, right outside Washington D.C. The owners liked the neighborhood, the schools and the character of their house. They didn't like the compartmentalized interiors, though. "It was the right size, but it didn't have the right spaces," Amy said. "They wanted that house, only they wanted it better."
The architect and client used a team approach to arrive at a solution that declares the exterior an organizer for the interior. "Before, you knew the backyard was out there somewhere, but you didn't know how it connected inside," she said. "We redesigned the backyard so that there's a constant view to make you understand where you are on the inside. One space flows freely to the next now."
Their solution was a holistic one, taking into account the entire property rather than one or two parts – and looking to the long-term rather than just a few years out. "If you want to do a good job, you can't do it piecemeal," she said. "You have to think about it as a whole, and have a thorough approach for thirty to fifty more years."
By the time the renovation was finished, they knew it was a success from the neighbors' reactions. "People were walking up to the house and and saying: 'I want that! Can I buy the plans?"

When you want to write a simple log in the client, you can use
console.log('...') API as you may already know. However, it's not supported by all
browsers and your script may break as a result. You must first check if
console is available. You may also want to write logs somewhere else.
You may evem want to write logs at some other level. ASP.NET Boilerplate
defines these safe logging functions:

    abp.log.debug('...');
    abp.log.info('...');
    abp.log.warn('...');
    abp.log.error('...');
    abp.log.fatal('...');

You can change the log-level by setting the **abp.log.level** to one of the
abp.log.levels (ex: abp.log.levels.INFO does not write to the debug logs).
These functions write logs to the browser's console by default, but you can
override/extend this behavior if you need to.

Lahiri's life changing landmark victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open 2015
By admin • On 8th February 2015 8th February 2015 • In News	News 0
Anirban Lahiri with the Seagram trophy.
Kuala Lumpur, 8 February 2015 – From 'Q' School on the European Tour to top forty in the world in less than six months, it has been a life changing experience that Anirban Lahiri will never forget.
The excitement of the finishing was exhilarating as it became a race between Weisberger, Lahiri and Waring encapsulated with Lahiri's incredible 40 feet putt for birdie on 17 to take him to sixteen under par (-16) which was matched by Weisberger, who was one flight behind but whose superb wedge shot on seventeen gave him a birdie before his vital putt on the last to force a playoff was 6 inches short to give Lahiri the win that will change his life. Waring's day finished with his first score over par of the week at 73 to take 3rd position tied with Canizares who also could not match his earlier score and finished with a 74 tied in 2nd place.
Attributing his win to the power of positive thinking and a hugely supportive team, Lahiri who is the second Indian after Arjun Atwal (2003 and 2008) to win the coveted Seagram's Trophy finally summed up the feelings of all present when he received his prize from the Malaysian Prime Minister and expressed his thanks to all those who had contributed to the hugely successful 10th edition of the Maybank Malaysian Open. "This is a very special win, even though it's my sixth win but it is my first on the European Tour," said the proud winner of the Maybank Malaysian Open 2015.
Whilst Weisberger faltered with a double bogey on the par 5 fifth hole to stay in the lead at seveteen under par (-17), Lahiri followed a bogey on the nine with a birdie on ten to come within one off the lead at sixteen under par (-16) with Waring breathing down his neck at fifteen under par (-15) after a birdie on ten. As Canizares started the day in second position, he faltered with three bogies on the front nine and two more on 10 and 11 which took him back to ten under par (-10) with five holes to play, finally completing his week on thirteen under par (-13).
Crowd favourite, Graeme McDowell finished with a 75 and could not regain the form of the first day which led him to end the tournament at two under par (-2), tied 36th.
Defending champion Lee Westwood who started the day at fourteen under par (-14) had a double bogey on his second and could only manage his first birdie of the final round at the 16th before finally finishing with at three over par (+3) for the day tied in 5th position.
Danny Chia of Malaysia
Meanwhile, Malaysian hope, Danny Chia lost his momentum after a bogey on nine and a double bogey on thirteen which took him back to five under par (-5) and finally finished with his second 74 of the week to be tied at 25th position at four under par (-4) and was awarded the Best Malaysian with compatriot Gavin Green who had his best round of the tournament with eight birdies of which six were coming home at 32 and was awarded the tournament's award for the Best Amateur. Sukree Othman on the other hand, could not maintain his form of the previous three days and finished at four over par (+4) with a final 76 after 3 bogies and a double bogey in his first nine holes. R. Nachimuthu maintained his score with an even par front nine before completing with a 77.
This year, golfers are battling for more than bragging rights as Maybank have upped the ante to mark its milestone tenth (10th) year as the event's title sponsor. Strengthening its long-standing commitment as one of the oldest national Opens in the region, Maybank increased the prize purse for 2015 to US$3 million, up from the previous US$2.75 million in 2014. The tournament took place at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club from the February 5th to the 8th.
In addition to world ranking, points earned at the Maybank Malaysian Open will contribute to the Asian Tour Order of Merit and will also count towards European Tour's Race to Dubai 2015.
Over the years the Maybank Malaysian Open has attracted world-class golfers who have made their mark with performances by the likes of Rory Mcllroy, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer and Charl Schwartzel joining the field of play here.

You've probably noticed that this blog hasn't been very active this year. In fact, I've only published a single post in 2016 (prior to this). Despite not traveling much this year, there has been a lot going on in my life and I'm excited to share some of the highlights with you. P.S. I still have lots of photos and stories from my 3-month Asia trip last year to share!
I turned 30 years old!
A couple of days before my 30th birthday back in May, I wrote a new post titled 30 Lessons Learned in 30 Years. It's been one of the most popular posts on my site, so go check it out for some of my 30-year-old wisdom.
I started a new company!
As you may have noticed under my 'Work With Me' tab, it links over to a site called Analytified. What started off as a made-up company during SXSW in March to get into cool parties (that's a whole other story) has since become a legitimate consulting company. I'm helping new and growing startups develop business plans and financials to build sustainable and profitable businesses, as well as developing some training programs, the first of which is Excel Ninjas. I've also been to more networking events, pitch competitions, and startup demo days than I can count. With all of these events all the time (usually 2-3 events on my calendar every night), I haven't had much time for travel.
Unlike previous years where our chapter events were sporadic, in 2016 I've been holding monthly happy hours, sometimes with speakers. If you're in the Austin area and work in the travel industry in some capacity, I'd love if you stopped by. Check out our Facebook group or when we were featured on the Travel Massive blog last month.
Probably the biggest change will be that I'm rebranding this blog. This is something I've been thinking about for a while now and I'm finally going to get on with it. I started Nick's Travel Bug back in 2009 when I was on my post-college Euro-trip and it has been a journal of all of my travels since then, along with occasional tips on how you can save money traveling and other random things. Travel hasn't been my sole focus recently like it was in the past. Going forward I want to provide insights on life hacking, productivity, business, travel, and anything else that I'm interested in. It's taken me so long to do this because every time I go to do it I get a bit nostalgic about the last 8 years of my life running this blog, but I think this is the right move for me now going into 2017.
It's a long process to change everything over, though. I've already switched all of my social media handles, but don't worry. If you were following me before you still are. If you weren't, here are links to my Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, and YouTube. I'm @MrNickHuggins on Snapchat as well, although I'm still not a big fan of the platform. That was the easy part. Changing the blog over is a lot more work. Along with a brand new design, I'm going through and cleaning up some of the old content before I move everything over, but eventually, everything will redirect to the new domain.
Subscribe at the bottom of this post to keep up to date when the new site launches.
As much as it's been nice to chill out on travel and feel a bit 'settled' in Austin this year, I'm also getting antsy to go places. While I'll still be completely focused on consulting and training, I do have some conferences I want to attend and a few fun trips in mind. Also, it's been a while since I went diving, so I'm eager to get back in the water next year. Probable trips include Thailand/Vietnam/Hong Kong, Colombia, Las Vegas, Portland for WDS, and a couple trips to Michigan to see my family and friends up there.
Reading 2 books per month – I spend a lot of time reading articles online that would be better spent reading books where I would actually learn something.
Writing more – I love blogging and I've fallen out of the habit for the most part in 2016, but I'm excited to get back at it.
Getting a car or scooter – I got rid of my car early this year as I thought it would be easy to rely on Uber/Lyft and public transportation to get around town. However, shortly after that, Uber & Lyft left Austin and we're left with a handful of ride-sharing alternatives that are a lot more expensive and a lot less efficient. I've realized that having a car just makes things more convenient. I can hop in and go somewhere whenever I want, not having to worry about the public transportation schedule or how much a ride is going to cost.
I've also been tossing around the idea of starting a podcast, so TBD on that.
So that's an update on what's been going on and some things I'm planning for next year. How about you? What are some of your goals and challenges for 2017?
I've drifted away from writing on my blog too, and am going to commit to publishing 2-4 stories per month in 2016. I've got a huge back log, like 4 years worth of travel I haven't written about. Pretty crazy, but I want to get caught up this year.
I'm the same way. I've got tons of stories and photos from travels in 2015 to share. I'm going to shoot for 2 new posts per month this year.
Looking forward to the upcoming posts. 2016 was my off-year too, it seems. 🙂 Didn't write as much as I thought I would, even though travel didn't take a backseat in my life.
I have a lot of goals for 2017. It looks like a promising year. Congratulations on your new company, Nick!
When we go back with the memories and to think about to upcoming it gives an feeling of joyful.


St Alban, in the well-to-do suburb of Lakenham, is the best of the Anglican churches built between the wars in Norwich. The architect was Cecil Upcher, perhaps best known in the city for saving and restoring Pulls Ferry and the Ferry House, where he lived and worked. At first glance, it is a surprise that this elegant building, largely in the Early English style, should date from the 1930s, but the large, blind chancel is more of a clue, and the crisp suburban setting is reminiscent of that of the many south coast churches built in that decade.
The grand south porch is in the Norman style, and a fine sculpture of St Alban sits in an alcove looking east from the chancel wall. Below him are set three stones with plaques recording that they were brought here from Canterbury Cathedral, St Alban's Cathedral and Norwich Cathedral for a ceremony to mark the start of work on August 4th, 1932. They were dedicated by Bertram Pollock, the Bishop of Norwich, but it would be another five years before he could come back to consecrate the building in 1937, towards the end of his staggering 32 years as incumbent.
With the storm clouds of war already gathering, the opening of St Alban must have seemed a triumph of hope. The Norwich photographer George Plunkett came here on the afternoon of the 25th June 1938, the year after the opening, and took the photographs below. You can see at once that the Norman motif from the south porch is repeated in the arcades, creating a near-Classical effect.
I came to St Alban on a sunny day towards the end of July 2009, some 71 years later. Unlike other city churches, the urban context here is almost entirely unchanged, the polite Edwardian houses around still the setting that Upcher and Plunkett knew. I stepped through the west porch into an interior which was full of light - there is no coloured glass at all here. Again, and despite the exterior, the sense is of a Classical building, and the arcades a reminder of the influence of that genre on Modernism - blot out the clerestory, and we might easily be in part of Basil Spence's University of Sussex. The wooden chairs photographed by Plunkett have all gone, to be replaced rather uneasily by modern cushioned ones, although generally the clearing of clutter does the building a service. Above the clerestory rides a beautiful panelled roof, slightly canted and looking for all the world as if it has come here from an 18th Century country house.
St Alban contains an interesting medieval survival. This is the 14th Century font which came from Knettishall, just over the Suffolk border. The parish church of Knettishall, which has always been in the Norwich Diocese, suffered abandonment in the early decades of the 20th century, and in 1933 its furnishings were dispersed, mostly to Riddlesworth church on the Norfolk side of the border, but the font came here. It was a happy coincidence that St Alban happened to be the only church in the diocese under construction at the time. The font cover appears Jacobean - it may well be by Upcher, who was an accomplished font cover designer, but his are usually in the Gothic style. Could it also have come from Knettishall?
In George Plunkett's photograph, the east wall of the chancel appears rather stark. The Reverend Hawthorn, Vicar here in the 1950s, obviously thought so too, and decided to suggest a competition in the pages of the Eastern Daily Press to provide a reredos. The winner was Christ in Glory by Geoffrey Camp, which depicts the Risen Christ above Norwich scenes. It is perhaps not the church's best feature. Rather better, to the south, the glazed windows of a side chapel are engraved with scenes from the Nativity. When I came here, the parish mid-week Eucharist was in progress, another reminder that the High Church end of the Church of England in Norwich is still hale and hearty. When it was over, the Priest and the congregation could not have been more friendly and welcoming - this must be a lovely church to go to.


The FAO says between 20 and 30 per cent of fishing in Caribbean waters is illegal, unreported and unregulated.
ROME, Italy, Wednesday March 14, 2018 – Biodiversity in the Caribbean Sea is at serious risk, scientists are warning, with illegal fishing reducing fish stocks and placing the marine environment under increasing strain.
"I cannot say what it's due to or if there are external factors, but certainly in my more than 30 years in the profession I have seen a reduction in fish," says Vernal Nicholls, president of the Caribbean Network of Fishermen's Associations.
According to the Italy-based United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), between 20 and 30 per cent of fishing in Caribbean waters is illegal, unreported and unregulated, and worth as much as US$750 million every year.
Fishing fleets arriving from Asia and Europe are causing a crisis of overexploitation.
"In the absence of effective cooperation among countries to manage shared resources, the region has reached the point of overfishing in most species," warns FAO expert Carlos Fuentevilla, adding that the lack of regulations protecting species for future food security puts additional stress on oceanic ecosystems.
On the coast of Barbados, fishermen are acutely aware of the decline in fish stocks. During the 1980s, production rates averaged 2.5 million tonnes. Thirty years later, annual reports are recording reductions of 50 per cent.
To protect the world's oceans from over-fishing, pollution and degradation, countries should reach a deal similar to the Paris climate accord that sets stringent targets, according to World Wildlife Fund International President Pavan Sukhdev.
The Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission, together with the FAO, is strategizing temporary, non-binding solutions which could be put into motion if agreed upon by members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
"Our decisions can be binding if countries want them to be; it depends on having the responsibility to implement them," said Milton Houghton, executive director of the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM).
The decline in catches is influenced by many factors, Houghton says: from climate change to overfishing and boat activity in the United States, Venezuela and Mexico.

Boeing grounds entire crash aircraft fleet
« on: Mar 14, 2019, 04:56:27 am »
'Boeing has grounded its entire global fleet of 737 Max aircraft after investigators uncovered new evidence at the scene of the fatal Ethiopian Airlines crash.
The US plane-maker said it would suspend all 371 of the aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration said fresh evidence as well as newly refined satellite data prompted the decision to temporarily ban the jets.
The FAA had previously held out while many countries banned the aircraft.
The crash on Sunday in Addis Ababa killed 157 people.
It was the second fatal Max 8 disaster in five months after one crashed over Indonesia in October, claiming 189 lives.
Boeing said it "continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 Max".
However, it said that after consultation with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board - which is conducting an investigation into the Ethiopian Airlines crash - it had decided to ground the flights "out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft's safety".'

Boeing 737 MAX got green light with 'FLAWED' flight system - report
« Reply #1 on: Mar 20, 2019, 04:11:40 am »
RT - Russia Today
Two US probes scrutinizing how Boeing 737 MAX got green light with 'flawed' flight system – report
http://www.rt.com/usa/454225-boeing-max-certification-probe/
'Days after media reported that the troubled Boeing 737 MAX 8's certification lacked proper oversight and analysis, two US departments are looking into how the new jet was allowed to fly with a suspect flight control device.
A grand jury in Washington DC has subpoenaed at least one person behind the Boeing 737 MAX's certification, according to the Wall Street Journal. The subpoena, initiated by the Justice Department's criminal division, seeks documents and correspondence relating to the aircraft, which has been marred by two crashes in less than a year and is now grounded across the world.
Meanwhile, the Transportation Department's inspector general has launched a separate probe into the approval of the 737 MAX by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The news comes amid mounting backlash against Boeing's latest narrow-body aircraft. The company has delivered 371 MAX models around the world, and practically all of them are now grounded pending the results of probes into the Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people earlier this month.
Notably, the crash bears "clear similarities" to the Lion Air disaster in Indonesia, in which 149 people died in October aboard another 737 MAX, French investigators said in a statement Monday.
Meanwhile, a damning report by the Seattle Times, the hometown newspaper of Boeing HQ, alleged that the FAA delegated crucial parts of the certification process to the corporation itself.
It emerged that Boeing's analysis contained flaws, including several relating to the so-called Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a controversial flight control system investigators believe played a role in both incidents.'

May prepares to abandon plan to ask EU for nine-month Brexit delay after fuming cabinet ministers told her the Tories would only accept a three-month wait - as chaos STILL reigns 1,000 days after Britain voted to leave
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6828107/Incompetent-MPs-laughing-stock-Brussels-telling-think-again.html
'Theresa May is preparing to to abandon her plan to ask the EU for a nine-month Brexit delay after furious cabinet ministers told her the Tory party would only accept a three-month wait.
The Prime Minister is now thought to be considering writing to the EU asking for a shorter extension, as Downing street admitted last night that Britain's departure from the European Union is at a crisis point.
Mrs May was forced into a humiliating retreat after being put under severe pressure by senior ministers at a cabinet meeting last night and is now expected to write to Donald Tusk for a three month extension, rather than ask for a lengthier departure date. The sudden change of direction left some ministers reeling, one told The Sun: 'Nobody knows what the f*** is going on, or even who in No10 is actually gripping it. Maybe nobody is.
'The whole thing is a national humiliation on a scale we have not seen in many, many decades - if ever before.'
At the 90-minute cabinet meeting ministers were at loggerheads on just how long a potential extension would be.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson and International Trade chief Liam Fox were thought to be against a lengthy delay, as was Commons leader Andrea Leadsom.
She said: 'This used to be the cabinet that would deliver Brexit and now from what I'm hearing it's not.'
It comes a thousand days on from the 2016 referendum – and just ten days before the UK is due to leave the Brussels club.'

Are you familiar with these lyrics?
They are lyrics from the popular "Give Thanks to Allah" by Zain Bhikha. It succinctly captures the art of giving daily gratitude to Allah (SWT) for all blessings – big and small.
For the believer, giving thanks and praise to Allah (SWT) is a way of life.
This powerful and life changing concept is captured by the creative minds behind Team Ayeina. They recently launched #Alhamdulillah For Series book – 'A Muslim's mini gratitude journal'. It is a condensation of their 'Alhamdulillah For' graphics on Instagram.
In this interview I discuss with Team Ayeina about the benefits of giving daily gratitude to Allah (SWT).
You recently launched 'a Muslim's mini gratitude journal', what is it all about?
The gratitude journal is based around our #AlhamdulillahForSeries – exploring different parts of gratitude and saying Alhamdulillah for them.
It's a fun series that could be used as great reminders on how important positivity is in our lives.
The book, however, has extra parts in it. It has been divided into four main categories.
There is a "notes" section at the end of the list so people can write down what they felt after one month of their Alhamdulillah journey.
Did it improve their perspective on life?
Did it help them sleep with a smile?
Did it make them say Alhamdulillah more?
Did it water their soul and quench the core?
In short, it's a month of helping you develop an attitude of gratitude by taking one baby step at a time in shaa Allah.
Because an Alhamdulillah a day keeps scarcity away.
You can read more about the book here.
It's available to buy in our estore here.
How did you come about the idea?
Oh we love the "Happiness is" series and thought how great would it be to have a Muslim version of it. We were really inspired by the series and thought of doing something similar for the Muslim Ummah. .
Since gratitude is one of the major causes that lead you to joy, AlhamdulillahFor series came into being.
Kind of a boring story ?? but true 🙂 Something that doesn't only contribute to joy, but also counts as an act of ibaadah (worship) – Alhamdulillah.
This idea helped us a lot in coping up with our circumstances. So we thought of spreading the khair to everyone else as well.
And writing helps you best through your hard days.
Do you use the same format ~ Alhamdulillah for ~ in your personal journaling?
It's been a while, we're using this format.
Alhamdulillah it helps us keep our focus on little yet more. By keeping the sentences short but meaningful, the focus remains on the subject and the reason it brings the joy.
Hence it's not always what we are grateful for, but also why we are grateful for it.
"I am grateful for_____" so replacing it with "Alhamdulillah for _____" came naturally as a Muslim.
Any particular reason(s) why it should be done daily?
Because you need a dose of positivity every single day.
Apart from that, these words are recited after the conclusion of every prescribed prayer as well, so mindfulness is important.
From personal experience, what is the effect of saying 'Alhamdulillah' for different blessings in life?
It's not only a reminder for yourself but also a dhikr of Allah which is recommended and praise worthy.
Writing it down is even more therapeutic. Especially when you are going through a rough phase in life.
Personally, it has helped us a lot in coping up with our hard times. With bad people always on the newspaper, bad news always on the news channel and photoshopped images all over social media, it's hard to always look at the brighter side of things.
Such journaling kept our minds off of it all (almost all).
Like they say, The grass is always greener where you water it!
Gratitude is only one out of so many other virtues. Why did you single it out – what's the big deal?
Personally we believe that gratitude has been the light through many dark times. It helps you stay patient and focused on what you have rather than what you don't.
whatever you have keeps you attached to Allah positively.
It's like the key to all kinds of success out there (in the world and hereafter both).
In what other ways can a Muslim give gratitude to Allah (SWT) apart from saying Alhamdulillah.
Gratitude is an attitude that can be expressed through the contentment over the will of Allah (SWT), by tongue with His dhikr and through actions. Saying Alhamdulillah is just one part of it.
Those who are grateful to Allah (SWT) show their gratitude through accepting the commands of their Rabb with all their heart.
As gratitude helps you build a positive relationship with Allah, it helps you accept His will more easily.
Who else should we express gratitude towards apart from Allah (SWT)?
This includes everyone after Allah (SWT) who aid us in every possible way.
The favours of Allah (SWT) are too many to count, does saying Alhamdulillah make up for the thankfulness that should be felt from magnitude of such favours?
Of course a tongue can't say the praise of Allah enough – just like a mind can't comprehend the grandeur of Allah enough. So saying Alhamdulillah doesn't make up anything but it helps you to take that baby step towards Allah.
Can you recommend tips for turning the gratitude journaling into a lifelong habit?
Which is why the book asks you to write only one thing a day. One thing to be grateful for. One will help you focus and ponder over that line for the whole day.
As students of Islamic Psychology, we also understand how important keeping a journal is! How important it is to write – to keep a track of your emotional health (which is as important as your physical health).
So take small steps but take them!
You don't necessarily have to buy this book and do it. You can do it on your own, in your own style as well. But DO IT.
InshaaAllah, you'll see a massive change in your mindset.
Alhamdulillah for this beneficial initiative – I love the journal and encourage you to get one for yourself and a friend, colleague or loved one.
In what ways will you be giving daily gratitude to Allah (SWT) from now?
jazakALLAH both team Ayeina and SIS Amina Edota for the wonderful interview. really need these type of journals to move ahead contently.
This is such a beneficial initiative. I have a new planner this year that has a reminder to be grateful or show gratitude in various ways via activities that you are required to do each week and I feel like my mindset has changed so much. I can be folding the laundry and initially feel so fed up and frustrated at all I have to do but then I remember to say Alhamdullilah that we have this many clothes and options, or Alhamdullilah that the rubbish needs to be thrown out from all the packaging or peels from food that we are blessed with in abundance. Gratitude overall really changes your perception of things and in turn how you deal with things and see things on a daily basis.
So sooo beneficial, masha Allah. Being grateful does change the mind-set and perspective over time. And I understand that feeling with all the chores that need to be done time and time again… frustration can be flipped over into joy by the singular act of being thankful.
Love the Alhamdulillah for series! I have been planning to start a weekly post on my blog for months about what I am grateful for/looking forward to that week as I can be quite negative…..just haven't got round to starting it!
I love the Alhamdolilah For Series that has been initiated by Ayeina. They are doing a great job and I wish them all the luck for their future endeavours.
Masha Allah, it is a beneficial initiative.
I am very happy to see that Team Ayeina could realize this amazing project. A concept for learning gratitude that suits Muslims was really missing. Most offers come from spooky esoteric sources. Do we have to learn gratitude? Yes, at least we have to rediscover it. In busy daily life, we tend to do drama for things that don't matter, feel unhappy, not grounded but we have so many small and big things to be grateful for. With the lovely design, Team Ayeina really created a treasure that should have its place in every Muslim household.
You are so right. We need to rediscover gratitude from the small to the big things in our daily lives.
We need much joy and happiness in our world today and I'm happy about the joy you are spreading in the Ummah- masha Allah.

George Kittle defends Jimmy Garoppolo, believes 49ers QB can win them a Super Bowl
swipe team | February 7, 2021 February 3, 2021
Rumors of the 49ers looking to move on from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo are swirling — just like they were roughly one year ago after he stunk it up in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV — but one of his teammates sure seems to believe in him.
Garoppolo and George Kittle are close friends, and the 49ers tight end has always spoken highly of his quarterback, even when few others have. The Niners are rumored to have interest in trading for Deshaun Watson, although the team has been quiet about the quarterback position. And it's unclear whether or not they contacted the Lions about making a play for Matthew Stafford, who the Rams acquired a few days ago.
The 49ers were unlucky to have suffered a ton of injuries this season, including Garoppolo, who played in only six games — finishing just four of them. But Kittle still believes Jimmy G can lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl, at some point in the future.
.@49ers TE George Kittle on @gmfb @nflnetwork on the QB situation: "I haven't really heard anything. Jimmy is a helluva QB. I still believe in Jimmy G. I think we can win a Super Bowl with him. I'll keep dying on this sword. I know we can win with him."
— Will Selva (@WillSelvaTV) February 2, 2021
We couldn't disagree more with that take. Garoppolo just isn't a quarterback who can win games consistently. You never know what version of him you're going to get on the field each week.

Lord Byron's famous love poetry is almost overshadowed by his notorious life.
In famous love poetry, few individuals are as complex as our next subject, Lord George Gordon Noel Byron 1788-1824. Of all the poets to ever put pen to paper in famous love poetry, few attracted as much opprobrium and fascination in equal measure. He was controversial, brilliant and iconoclastic, as much for his literary fame as his social notoriety. Byron has even been called the first known example of the modern day superstar.
Long before the advent of the mass media and Hollywood, his combination of stylish film star good looks, aristocratic bearing, searing poetry, scandalous society affairs and total contempt for the hyprocrisy of his times made him both revered and reviled.
Born with great prepossession in spite of the handicap of a lame foot, Byron's contributions to Famous love poetry and the English Romantic Poetry genre has made his name a metaphor for romantic appearance and temperament. His best works from 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage' (1812), (which won him instant fame), to 'The Vision of Judgement' (1822) exhibited drama, romance and moving lyricism. He was also a most gifted satirist who displayed the ability for swift narration and vivid description.
Byron's place as a literary great who wrote famous love poetry is often compromised by the notoriety of his turbulent and scandalous life, and contemporary and critical opinion diverged widely on his true place in the poetic pantheon. To Goethe, 'Lord Byron is only great as a poet, as soon as he reflects, he is a child' While Matthew Arnold in his famous Essays in Criticism rated Byron and Wordsworth, the two greatest English poets of the 19th century.
'Mad, bad and dangerous to know' is the supreme Byronic epitaph attributed to Lady Caroline Lamb maybe his most scandalous love, who depicted him savagely in her 'Glenarvon' (1816).
'She Walks In Beauty' is my first choice. It is my personal favorite among his famous love poetry.
Here are two more examples of famous love poetry from Lord Byron.
This arm would be thy bark or breast thy bier.
For thee, whose safety first provide for thine.
My spirit turned. Ah! oftener than it ought.
To strongly, wrongly, vainly, love thee still.
Byron's famous love poetry gives us a glimpse of the tremendous passions that moved him.
Lord Byron's hedonistic lifestyle and much recorded cavalier and scandalous treatment of his many women certainly does not lend credence to any reputation he might have as a caring and sensitive soul, but maybe this next example of his famous love poetry can be seen as proof of some redeeming evidence.
In mercy veil the past.
I henceforth must resign ?
That never can be mine?
I ask but to — forget."
Years later, after contracting an unhappy marriage, she sought vainly to rekindle his interest, at a time his fame as a great poet was burgeoning. As is often the case in such matters, it was far too late.
My last example of his famous love poetry is the somewhat mocking and scathing 'Remember thee! remember thee!' written in a fit of pique at the hounding he received from the quite hysterical Lady Caroline Lamb who could not cope with the cruel manner he discarded her. Their affair, (she was of course, married) scandalised London society so much, that Byron had to flee England to save face!
And haunt thee like a feverish dream!
Remember thee! Aye, doubt it not.
Thou false to him, thou fiend to me!
"I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?"
Let us end this page on the famous love poetry of Lord Byron with his own remarkable lines of his epitaph, written with such massive precociousness when he was barely 15 years old and still a student at Harrow!
By that remember'd, or with that forgot."
Prophetic words! When we consider today how that name and image have become a metaphor for all its owner stood for: Flamboyance, artistic brilliance, notoriety, physical beauty and rebellion!

Violins of Hope
The Violins of Hope are a collection of restored violins that were played by Jewish musicians during The Holocaust. These instruments have survived concentration camps, pogroms and many long journeys to tell remarkable stories of injustice, suffering, resilience and survival. The collection was assembled and restored by Israeli master violin maker and restorer, Amnon Weinstein.
In some cases, the ability to play the violin spared Jewish musicians from more grueling labors or even death. Nearly 50 years ago, Amnon heard such a story from a customer who brought in an instrument for restoration. The customer survived the Holocaust because his job was to play the violin while Nazi soldiers marched others to their deaths. When Amnon opened the violin's case, he saw ashes. He thought of his own relatives who had perished and was overwhelmed. He could not bring himself to begin the project.
By 1996, Amnon was ready. He put out a call for violins from the Holocaust that he would restore in hopes that the instruments would sound again.
Amnon started locating violins that were played by Jews in the camps and ghettos, painstakingly piecing them back together so they could be brought to life again on the concert stage. Although most of the musicians who originally played the instruments were silenced by the Holocaust, their voices and spirits live on through the violins that Amnon has lovingly restored. He calls these 50 instruments the Violins of Hope.
Guts Coming and Going: Jessica Ann

An exhibition of new and recent works by artist Jessica Ann entitled; Guts Coming and Going. Featuring video, sculpture, and interactive installation, the exhibition explores the material potential at the edge of the world wide web. Composed of many parts, each component is networked together by Ann's desire to meet what she calls the "aggregate monster." An entity lurking and learning amidst the ever cooled data banks of your external and eternal memory. Data siphoned daily among a trillion other self published transmissions, happening across facebook, text messages, phone calls, emails, twitter, cameras, and networked refrigerators. What fabulation might emerge among all this noise is presented here as objects and subjects oozing off the grid and into mixed reality.
