I was visiting my friend and colleague Vasilis (http://www.vasilisdakos.info/), who recently started a professorship at Uni Montpellier. It was already quite warm, and so perfect conditions to get my fucked up knee back in shape. I was able to do three really nice rides around Montpellier. Very lovely city, very wild area - highly recommendable!


Dodonaea viscosa-Ake ake. Hardy evergreen with narrow bright green foliage. Good hedge/shelter for coastal or inland sites. Quick growing. Grows to approx 5m untrimmed. Plants are grown and are now approx 20cm from top of container.


Envisioning 'a just and peaceful society with gender equality' Jagaran Nepal (JN) was established in 2002 AD as a not-for-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) in Kathmandu District Administration Office (DAO) under Organization Registration Act- 2034 BS. Since the beginning, JN has been advocating for women's access to decision making of political, social and economic sphere of the community.
Within a short period of time, Jagaran Nepal has established itself as a leading organization working in the sector of women's equal participation in decision making, politics and governance system of every structure of community and the state. It has introduced and almost established the agenda- Women in Politics- in the country which has been expanded and adopted by various organizations these days. Organization has continuously supported and advocated for human rights, social protection, establishment of democratic practices, etc. It has implemented different programs associated with women rights, peace and governance particularly 'voter education programs in KARNALI Zone', 'conflict affected and potential women leaders empowerment programs', 'women's economic empowerment', 'women's skills as well as leadership development program through RESOURCE CENTERS, women's reproductive health, girl child education, violence against women and girls and other contemporary issues such as food security, climate change, sustainable development goals (SDG), and disaster.
Based on the above mentioned issues, along with renewed energy and experience, JN will continuously be engaged for the protection and promotion of women's social, political, economic and cultural rights.

L'insigne des blessés civils est une distinction française destinée aux civils qui, sans condition d'âge ou de sexe, ont été blessés ou mutilés du fait de la guerre.

Forme et dimensions

Le dessin de la médaille des blessés civils est proche de celui de l'insigne des blessés militaires, mais l'étoile est émaillée de blanc. La largeur est de  sur une hauteur de .

Porté en barrette, le ruban, d'un modèle similaire aux médailles d'Orient et du Moyen-Orient, est composé de sept raies verticales disposées de la manière suivante : fond bleu traversé en son centre par une raie ocre-jaune de  et de deux raies ocre-jaune de , situées à  des bords respectifs.

L'insigne, sous la forme d'une petite étoile à cinq branches émaillée de blanc, symbolise le corps du blessé.

Two strong foci can be discerned from the past work.
PET-radiochemistry starts in the radionuclide production target. Research with radionuclide production and targetry with the aim of understanding in-target processes, i.e. "hot-atom" chemistry and targetry. From this follows production of high quality labelling precursors for PET-radiochemistry.
PET is a tracer method only if substances are synthesised in tracer amounts. Synthesis of high specific radioactivity 11C and 18F tracers, development of methods and application for production of said tracers.
Development of automation for both radionuclide production as well as for radiotracer synthesis. This is mandatory; as radioactivity amounts can be very high and even more importantly, the complexity of the labelling procedures make them very susceptible to errors of human operators.
Preclinical evaluation of the radiotracers. The tracers are studied in various in vivo, ex vivoand in vitro biological models, in order to determine their suitability as PET tracers. This work is carried out as soon as the tracer is available from radiochemistry. This helps us to direct radiosynthetic development on modification on lead molecules. Tracers of lesser interest can also be halted in the radiosynthetic development process, and efforts directed to others. The successful candidates are then further evaluated and eventually taken into use in clinical projects.
In the Gadolinia radiochemistry laboratory, six hot-cells are available for radiotracer production and pre-clinical research. These hot-cells are equipped with various automated synthesis devices for 11C-methylation as well as 18F nucleophilic, electrophilic and fluoromethylation devices. Adequate analytical instrumentation is also available. The MGC-20 cyclotron (k=21, multiparticle, max proton beam intensity 10 microamperes), the Gadolinia "hot-laboratory", provides this laboratory with the required radio-isotopes. Furthermore the MediCity Preclinical imaging laboratory is available for evaluation and studies of radiotracers.
Education in radiochemistry on an academic level started in 2004 at the University of Turku with establishment of a Chair in Radiochemistry.
To efficiently make use of the increased capabilities in radionuclide production and radiosynthesis.
To develop radionuclide production with the aim of producing large quantities of 11C-, 13N-, 15O-, 68Ga- 18F-labelled precursors with high specific radioactivity. Also 64Cu is developed.
To develop methods and automation for synthesis of high specific radioactivity PET radiotracers.
To develop PET radiotracers for studies in humans in both health and disease.
The first research aim includes development of improved cyclotron target technology for the reliable production of 11C, 18F and 64Cu in various chemical forms with a view to increasing production yields, specific activity, chemical purity, improving the economics of production and the availability of the radiotracers. This international cooperation together with the technologies we have earlier developed and will further develop for this, make this approach a viable route to realize the strategic aim.
The second aim will to a large part be realized through our own research efforts, together with scientific collaboration with academic groups worldwide.
The third aim will advantageously be carried out in collaboration with pharma industry. The synthesis of cold precursors for labelling synthesis, reference standards etc. is outside the capabilities of our organization. We therefore actively seek collaboration with outside organizations, prioritizing common projects with a high scientific interest in line with our overall research strategy.

'This Interview Is Over': R. Kelly Walks Out Of HuffPost Live Interview Because Of 'Negative Questions'
R. Kelly wasn't having it during an interview with HuffPost Live on Monday, December 21. The R&B crooner, 48, became upset with host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani after she referred to his past sexual-abuse allegations and questioned whether he believes it's what impacted sales of his new album.
The interview started out fine, with the two discussing his latest record, The Buffet, but things took an unpleasant turn after Kelly took offense when asked about the fans who can't separate his music from the lawsuits and allegations that surround him. "Some people say they are conflicted and that they want to support the music … but they can't support you," Modarressy-Tehrani said. "I think people find it difficult to not think about … the lawsuits [about having] sexual relations with minors."
Kelly, still relatively calm, responded by saying that not everyone feels that way toward him,
and that he's actually more successful now than he's ever been. "I don't know where you're getting your information from," he told her. "I'm a very successful and talented man. I love those that even come against me." (According to HuffPost Live, The Buffet is projected to sell 100,000 fewer copies than his 2013 album, Black Panties.)
He became progressively more heated, and after Modarressy-Tehrani told him he could leave at any time, he responded: "If the next question is something negative out of your mouth, with all due respect, that's exactly what I'll wanna do."
Modarressy-Tehrani attempted to keep asking the Grammy winner questions about his lyrics, but he ultimately felt he was being attacked. "I did not come here to get interrogated," he told her. "This is a deposition … if you don't think you're disrespecting me, then that's the level of your intelligence."
R. Kelly then started to ask Modarressy-Tehrani a series of random questions, such as whether she drinks and gets drunk, to attempt to prove that the questions she was asking didn't pertain to his music.
"You have no video questions for me, because this interview is over," he finally told her before walking off.

Valentino Rossi was born on 16 February 1979 in Urbino and turned into most successful motorcycle racer celebrity of all time having nine Grand Prix World Championships record to his credit. He started racing in Grand Prix for Aprilia in 1996 in 125cc category and won his very first World Championship in 1997. Then he uplifted to 250cc category with Aprilia and won 250cc World Championship in 1999. But the skies of his winnings were not limited to that,motorcyclist Valentino Rossi continued moving with many wins. He won his 500cc World Championship with Honda in 2001 and the MotoGP World Championships in 2002 and 2003. In 2004 and 2005 he again won back to back championships to join Yamaha leaving Honda. He is currently joining Yamaha but would leave for joining Ducati in 2011.
With his triumph at 2009 Dutch TT in Assen, he marked history with 100 triumphs and became the only second rider in motorcycle grand prix history who reached to 100 wins. In 2010, Valentino Rossi got a leg injury and got ride on a Superbike World Championship-specification Yamaha YZF-R1 that was given to him by the Yamaha World Superbike Team at Misano to test his leg injury.
Valentino Rossi also has lot of nicknames due to a strong motorcycle racer but the prominent one is "Rossifumi". He is first in 500 cc/MotoGP race maintaining 79 wins and is second with 105 race wins overall. The Italian minister Franco Frattini government awarded Valentino Rossi the first Winning Italy Award in March 2010 for his endeavors of portraying his country through motorcycling on international level.

CG Says: The 2018 Audi TT gains a new model. The high-performance TT RS is the most powerful of the TT series with a 400-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine paired with a 7-speed automated-manual transmission. The base 2.0T TT gains standard parking sensors. There is also a new S line package that includes sport suspension and unique exterior and interior trim. TT comes as a 2+2 hatchback coupe or a 2-seat convertible. The stylish interior is highlighted by a "virtual cockpit" gauge cluster; it packs speedometer, tachometer, infotainment, navigation, vital stats, etc. into one 12.3-inch configurable screen. Standard features include heated mirrors, an adaptive rear spoiler, keyless entry and ignition, and parking sensors. An optional Technology package adds features such as a navigation system, Apple CarPlay interface, blind-spot monitor, and rearview camera. The Audi 2.0T TT coupe and roadster are powered by a 220-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder; the higher-performance TTS model comes only as a coupe and boasts 292 hp from its turbo 2.0 four. 2.0T and TTS use a 6-speed automated manual transmission; a traditional manual is not offered. The Audi TT continues to offer one-of-a-kind looks while upping the level of technology and refinement. Though base models aren't quite as quick or agile as a Porsche Cayman or Boxster, they offer true sports-car satisfaction for significantly less money than those rivals.


Discussion in 'Photojournalism, Candids and Street Photography' started by 57corvette, Aug 17, 2009.
Photos were taken on the Santa Monica Pier, boardwalk and the 3rd. street promenade. Input or comments always welcome.
Looks like you are up the beach from Venice at another one of the go to Southland locations. Numbers 2, 4, 5, and 8 are great shots. Actually, #2 is a super killer shot.
In #2 the boy really takes the viewer in. Its also very hard to get creamy bokeh in a street shot.
This set is Fantastic Bob!!!!
Ron, thanks again .... Steve, appreciate your looking and comments.
Wow.....I'll agree that #2 is super good.
Wonderful shots and as always great pp.
Nice shots. My favorite is #5.
The background has gone over the top in #2, it does not work at all for me.
Excellent look at SoCal. I agree with Peter on number two.
Alan, Klaus, Alex, Peter, Samuel, thanks guys, really appreciate your input. I agree #2 looks a little un-natural with the blurred background. I really liked the boys face and found the background distracting. Might give the background a different look and see if that helps.
Nice shots! No. 3 is my favorite. Great timing w/ no. 8.
Weirdly enough, in no. 2, the background took my attention away from the main subject. Also, there appears to be a weird outline around the main subject. Otherwise, great work!
Thanks for looking and your comments, really appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks Noel, much appreciated. looks like I have to go back and work on #2. The line around him is in the background, nothing I added with the PP work. May try to change the entire bg on the next attempt.
Thanks Dez ..... appreciate your looking.
I decided to re-touch photo #2 ..... hope this is better.

This is pure and nuances, deep and electric, with racy minerals, juicy acidity, with not a trace of oak. I know 2011 is meant for relatively early drinking, but this has a lot of growth potential over five plus years. If one is into petty comparisons, I think it could well go toe to toe with an excellent Puligny Premier Cru, but I believe it merits attention and praise in absolute terms; drop dead gorgeous, with such juicy acidity that I'm sure it wouldn't easily succumb to premox.
Fresh Pinot fruit, silky and juicy, with a hint of sweat and a saline finish. It has a very complimentary impact on the palate - that is, it's very moreish - but it lacks complexity at this stage. Taking into account the domaine's track record, I'm willing to blame the wine's age, despite the vintage's reputation for early drinking.
Arguably beyond its peak, at least to the point where it doesn't show any obvious Chambolle character (although Daniel Lifshitz says the wine in older vintages was sourced from vineyards on the Morey border and was usually atypical at any age) , but it's tasty. More of a cross of Nuits and Gevrey, with a light veneer of exotic spices. I was very surprised it was as lively as it was, it really is quite a coup for Roumier to produce such a village wine in 2000.
This takes time to hint at Northern Rhone pepper, but it's off to a good start with its languid fruit, which is in need of time to show nuances, such as a lovely, meaty stink.
Wine Route, 300 NIS. Dubious return in investment, as I feel Graillot, at two thirds the price, would trash and thrash it.
Once again, Avi Feldstein brings a wine that beats most Chateuaneufs at their own Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre game. A bros wine.


"A masterly opera", "A modern gem of an opera", "Psychological Opera suspense", "This is not a product for entertainment" - these are some of the headlines that The King of Fools received. This two act opera for 8 singers and 13 instruments made a tremendous impact when it was premiered in 1996.
In September 2011, surprisingly a review appeared in Opera Now - The Metropolitan Opera Guild´s newspaper. The opera is now available on the iTunes and on Spotify.
NEWS: In July 2014, The King of Fools was staged at Vattnäs konsertlada and received acclaim in Swedish press (see Presscuts in Swedish).
Opera in two acts written between 1994 and 1996.
Libretto by Carl Unander-Scharin, Nils Spangenberg, Magnus Carlbring, Elgard Jonsson.
Based on the novel by Elgard Jonsson.
Commissioned by The International Vadstena Academy and Swedish Concert Institute (Svenska Rikskonserter).
First performance July 25, 1996 at the Vadstena Castle.
Encored in 1998 both in Vadstena and in Stockholm - at the Confidencen.
Printed music available through the composer.


This author is really good at creating scenery, characters with depth, and interesting scenarios. This is the second of his books that I have read, and I enjoy the world the author has created. However, the ending seemed more confusing and unbelievable than anything. It wasn't just that I didn't guess who the culprit was. It's more that I don't understand the culprits motive or how he accomplished the crime. I was left shaking my head and feeling vaguely unsettled. If it weren't for that, I would rate this book much higher.
As alway, Steven Havill has produced about her fantastic murder mystery.
4* Enjoyed this a lot and will be looking for more in the series or by this author. In this case, the narrator made a big difference. I'm familiar with him and he always adds to the story.
I continue to greatly enjoy this series. In this one, a teenage girl is found dead. An older drifter found by Undersheriff Bill Gastner as he crosses through town pushing his worn out bicycle, becomes the police chief's focus for the murder of this girl. However, Gastner is not so sure. The character of Wesley Crocker is an interesting addition to this book, and the author does a great job of slowly developing him as a man who decided more than 30 years earlier to live his life on the road, working occasionally when a little cash is needed, and seeing a whole lot of the country. The landscape of southern New Mexico is always an integral part of the books in this series, and descriptions of the natural surroundings as well as the cultural ones in a county bordering Mexico, make this a compelling read.
I generally love the Posadas Mystery books by this author. This one was somewhat depressing with a teenager getting murdered and teen angst and such. Still a good book and worth reading though.
Every book in this series is a great read.
I love this series, and it would be extremely easy for me to sit down and read each book one right after the other. But I don't. I make myself parcel them out one at a time-- almost like giving myself a gift every six months or so.What makes this series so good? Just about everything. Fictional Posadas County, New Mexico, is right on the border with Mexico. Havill uses the landscape and the weather to paint in details of his setting, but he also uses situations that arise with our neighbor to the south. In the case of Privileged to Kill, it's the sad fate of Maria Ibarra, an illegal immigrant who's come from Mexico to get an education and a future only to die an ignoble death. It's details like this that make Havill's stories ring true.Then there's always some sort of science/technical angle that's downright intriguing-- like the car wreck in this book. I know that not everyone is interested in such things, but not to worry. The author doesn't bog down the story with these facts. He uses them to add some spice to the investigation.Hands down, the absolute best part of this book-- and the entire series-- is the cast of characters. Bill Gastner isn't in the best of health, but he's just the kind of tough old cuss who's going to die in harness. He doesn't know when to quit. He usually has his breakthrough flashes of inspiration when he's had the least sleep... and he's compassionate. Most people would drive right on by Wesley Crocker, but not Bill Gastner. He stops. He talks with Wesley for a minute or two, then he helps load the bike into the trunk of his patrol car and gives Wesley a ride into town as well as tips on places to eat and sleep. Bill's the type of man who's going to give everyone a fair break.We also get to see Gastner mentor his boss. Sheriff Holman has a lot to learn, and he's smart enough to pay attention to his undersheriff. Most of the time. The same can't always be said for Pasquale, the new deputy. Gung-ho Pasquale wants to make a name for himself, and that just might wind up getting him killed. Gastner knows this, and I liked watching how he worked with the younger man.Gastner's wife is dead, and his four sons live far away, but he is not without family. Adopted family. Deputy Estelle Reyes-Guzman and her doctor husband are valuable additions to the town of Posadas, and they care about Gastner as much as he cares for them. It's a pleasure watching Estelle and Gastner work together. Also, the lives of these three main characters grow and change with each book. Can you read this book as a standalone? Yes, you can, but if you love excellent characterizations, start at the beginning and savor each one.I could ramble on forever. I love Havill's characters. I love the way he brings New Mexico to life. I also love how his stories are so simple on the surface (like the one here in Privileged to Kill) yet have real depth. Steven F. Havill's Posadas County mysteries truly deserve to be bestsellers instead of the hidden gems they tend to be. I highly, highly recommend them.
#5 in the Posadas County mystery series. This series adds real life issues such as aging and heart problems to the mystery venue. Rural Posadas County, NM on the Mexican border provides yet another dimension to raise this series above many of its cookie cutter brethren. Undersheriff Bill Gastner serves as mentor to his brilliant young deputy Estelle Guzman-Reyes.Posadas County mystery - Bill Gastner labors 'round the clock to solve the death of 15-year-old Maria Ibarra. The first suspect is Wesley Crocker, an itinerant. Gastner feels Crocker is innocent. Then a popular student is killed in a car accident. Gastner and Estelle Reyes-Guzman pull the case together, while she and her doctor husband urge Bill to care for himself.
PROTAGONIST: Undersheriff Bill GastnerSERIES: #5SETTING: New MexicoI'm still loving Gastner and his colleagues, but this one had a character that I didn't think rang true, and whose story never really got wrapped up. Annoying. Also, I think he was going for a look at how police treat " people of interest" differently depending on their backgrounds, and it didn't work for me.
I really enjoy this series. The continuing development of the relationships between Bill, Estelle, and Francis seems very realistic and touching to me. Havill is very good at creating walk-through characters like Crocker, whose transient bicycle touring character and mode of speaking are pegged solid. Once again, Rusty Nelson's narration is pitch perfect.
I liked this book about Under-sheriff Bill Gastner, the fifth in the series. Gastner has his work cut out for him when the body of a young girl is found under the bleachers at the local high school. The series is similar to Craig Johnson's Longmire series.
Undersheriff Bill Gastner is Posadas County. As usual a lot of excitement, humor, and anticipation. I love these books. Just not sure I like the direction this one now appears to be taking the series.
Great Audio book the narrator reminded me of how my Dad would tell tales. Great for someone who loves mystery and older.
A good series with solid characters and interesting mysteries. I've now read three in the series and am still really enjoying it.
Fictional American Southwest setting featuring Sheriff Gastner and company.
I recommend this mystery series. set in small town in new mexico not far from the mexican border. main characters are interesting and plots are decent.
Another great edition to this fine series.
Outstanding, small town southwest mystery series. Great writing, good plots and not over the top at all. Highly recommend anything by Steve Havill.

How did Stuart end up on a poster? How will he evade his new fans? Will he ever patch things up with his beloved Tracey? Can a silent film still make people laugh today? All this and more will be revealed in "Poster Boy".
On the surface, "Poster Boy" is a tribute to the comical farces of the 1920s. But more than that, it's about love on many levels. Our intention is to bring together those who are passionate about film, film history, comedy, LGBTQ issues, embracing oneself, and bridging gaps. All that good stuff.
"Poster Boy" is the story of Stuart, a quiet, shy resident of the Castro neighborhood. His love life changes drastically one day when he discovers, to his astonishment, that a picture of him is circulating on posters for a gay nightclub. With the help of a magic box, Stuart tries to disguise himself to evade the crowds of his new fans. Hilarity ensues as he gets himself in more trouble, and he soon learns that he doesn't have to hide from who he really is.
We will be filming on 7 shoot days between November and December of 2017.
Some crew members, especially lighting, will not participate in uninsured shoots.
Some locations will be harder to shoot than others without a permit.
Certain special costumes will be required for some scenes.

U.S. Idiocy in the Horn of Africa Creates Chaos in Somalia
No Genocide in Darfur, Says Former U.S. Official
22 killed and 107 wounded in a suicide attack against Algerian President Bouteflika
From Volume 6, Issue 37 of EIR Online, Published Sept. 11, 2007
Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—The British have had a stunning success in getting U.S. Vice President Cheney and his neo-con crowd to implement their policy in the Horn of Africa. According to Somalia expert Ken Menkhaus, chaos and fighting are on the rise, and people in the region are blaming the United States, which supports the transitional government and the Ethiopian intervention (an intervention U.S. forces were also directly involved in).
Speaking at a U.S. policy forum in Washington, D.C. Sept. 6, Menkhaus (who gave an interview to EIR on May 11) said he saw no improvement, in the short term, in Somalia, as long as the present policies are maintained. He compared the situation to the chaotic period after the UN force was driven out of Somalia in the early 1990s. Since the April attack on Somali opponents by the Ethiopian military, in support of the transitional government (TFG), 300,000 out of a population of 1.3 million have been driven out of Mogadishu. He noted that the TFG would collapse immediately if Ethiopian troops pulled out, and that fiefdoms and warlordism, some of it protected by Ethiopia, is on the rise. Meant to be a transitional government, the TFG grouping just wants to hold on to power for themselves.
Some in the Bush-Cheney Administration want to declare that Eritrea, which backs the opposition in Somalia, is a state which sponsors terrorism. Menkhaus said this would only make the situation worse. The fallback position for the Administration, is to let Somalia become ungovernable, "ruled" by militias and warlords. The solution advanced by Menkhaus, is a large African Union (AU) peacekeeping force, so that the Ethiopian troops can be gotten out. But the Darfur initiative by the AU is taking such a large number of troops, that nothing else is possible in the region.
Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—A former high-level U.S. official reported in a discussion with LaRouche PAC this week that there is no genocide going on in Darfur, and there may never have been. What is going on, is 15-20 groups fighting each other, some of which are anti-government.
The source reported that the peace agreement between North and South Sudan is in danger. He noted that if the South elects to secede from the country in a scheduled referendum, the central government would go to war, since the oil now being exploited, is primarily in the South.
Sept. 7 (EIRNS)—President Bouteflika of Algeria barely escaped a murder attempt in the city of Batna, in eastern Algeria, on Thursday, September 6. A suicide bomber present in the crowd blew up its explosive belt in the midst of a crowd waiting for the president, leaving 22 dead and 107 wounded.
In statements to the press, President Bouteflika accused the terrorists of acting on behalf of foreign capitals and foreign leaders, and Interior Minister, Noureddine Yazid Zerhouni, indicated that the comeback of Algeria into the international scene has obviously irritated certain foreign interests.
While the attack has yet to be claimed, it follows a series of escalating terrorist attacks carried out by the so-called al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb, formerly known as GSPC (Algerian Salafist group for predication and combat) before it announced its fusion with al-Qaeda on September 11, 2006. On April 11, 2007, two suicide bombings targeted the government palace in Algiers and the head-quarters of the eastern division of the Police at Bab Ezzouar, leaving 30 dead and more than 200 wounded.
One look into what M. Zerhouni calls Algeria's return into the international scene, reveals that starting in 2006, there has been a strong rapprochement of the Algerian group around Bouteflika, with Russia and Iran, around the idea of creating some form of new Gas OPEC. Relations between Russia and Algeria were considerably upgraded in January 2007, with very large weapons contracts and vast cooperation on hydrocarbons being signed between both countries. Also one should note the fact that following a visit by Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez to Algeria in May 2006, Bouteflika decided to cancel a law just adopted in April that same year, not only privatizing the oil fields, but actually granting concessions to the international oil companies.
The increase of al-Qaeda terrorism coincides precisely with Algeria's moving in this direction, and media such as Al Watan suggest a link between these terrorist acts, and the attempts of the Bush/Cheney Administration to maintain their control over the country in order to use the fight against terror in the entire Maghreb region, as a pretext to deploy military bases in those countries. This would occur through establishing bases for the new U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), something with the Algerian authorities have refused.
The Bouteflika government has also launched a broad attack against Cheney's group by dismantling Brown, Root and Condor (BRC), a joint company created by a previous government in 1994 between the state oil company, Sonatrach, and KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root), the subsidiary of Cheney's Halliburton, dealing in oil and armament contracts.
Commentators would tend to jump too rapidly to the conclusion there is a power struggle between the U.S. and Russia, over the raw materials of Algeria. However, the anglophile Cheney, whose wife, Lynne, is controlled by British financial interests, does not represent the real interests of the United States, but those of the British empire who is promoting, quite the contrary, a new cold war between Russia and the U.S. Only a close collaboration between the US and Russia could bring peace once again to that region, stated Lyndon LaRouche on September 7.

Q: CSS div cut off screen by margin-left - need scrollbar I have a div that has top:50%; left:50%; and also has a margin-left of some value (usually negative).
When the browser window is re-sized, the edge of the div can get cut off. Is there any easy way to easily add in a scrollbar when this happens?
DEMO

A: Since your element has position absolute, it is cut out off the normal page rendering flow, so there is not way to add a scrollbar without JavaScript.

A: Add margin-left: -100px; only instead margin-left: -400px; to appear div in center.

A: change your css with the following one:
.overflowing {
    float:left;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: red;
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    top: 50%;
    margin-left: 0px;
}

i hope this would help you.

"…artisan gin distilleries began popping up in the past five years. The trend caught the eye of liquor marketers Mark Neal and Daniel McLaughlin, who, thoughtfully, noticed the need here for new gins.
In the three years the pair spent talking to distillers and gin gurus in the UK, Australia, even the United States, they became fascinated by the old-school history of the spirit and the modern takes on the classic. It helped that they describe themselves a fanatical gin drinkers. And last month they finally launched their Rogue Society gin to high end bars around the country.
"Rogue Society founders Daniel Mclaughlin, Mark Neal and Richard Bourke have been working on developing their drink and the bottle for the past three years and believe they have finally got it right.

Citizens brainstorm questions in Cash to Classrooms Part 1
More than 40 ONE by ONE delegates and citizens attended the first part of the "Cash to Classrooms - Where Do You Stand?" series last night here at the Jacksonville Public Education Fund.
The participants first got a primer on how school funding works from Dr. Jason Rose, Director of Data & Research here at the Jacksonville Public Education Fund. Check out his presentation below. You can also see the live tweets here.
Long story short: The amount of money that each district gets per student is set by the state based on a formula. And about 40 percent of the district's budget is pre-designated for "categorical" items - meaning that the local district has no control over how it is spent. The general fund is just under a billion dollars, with most of it generated by state sources such as sales tax, and local sources, mostly property taxes.
Following the presentation, participants got into small groups facilitated by ONE by ONE delegates and brainstormed what they think are the key questions that should be posed to Superintendent Nikolai Vitti at next week's meeting.
The questions were generally shaped around the main strategic plan and ONE by ONE Community Agreement priorities:
Overall/general
How is the money going to be distributed based on the strategic priorities of the district?
What are your specific plans for funding your Whole Child strategic priority?
We applaud Dr. Vitti's commitment to providing an art or music teacher in every school. What change occurred to allow this to happen?
What amount of funding is going towards student support services to help at risk students to be successful? How does this compare to last year?
What is the role of the school police officers and does the budget allow them to make sure children walking to and from school are safe?
How does the district make decisions about allocating support for students such as guidance counselors, art, P.E., PTs/OTs, etc. to individual schools and what are the checks and balances to make sure they are being utilized?
Great Educators and Leaders
Do you have plans for developing principals, teacher leaders, and for improving the relationship between principals and their teachers?
How will teachers be provided with enough support to effectively differentiate teaching for students with different needs?
What will be done about teachers having to buy their own supplies for students, including books and basic lesson materials?
How do you propose increasing teacher engagement in the school budgeting process?
Caregiver & Community Involvement
How can the public and community inform/influence the school budget process? Can we have a say in how the money is distributed locally?
Equitable, Efficient and Effective Use of Resources (DCPS Strategic Plan)
How can we ensure that resources are used in the most efficient and effective way in the schools?
How can we have more detailed information about how the money is spent in the district?
How can we make sure there is equitable funding for technology for all schools and all students?
What is the number and cost of under-enrolled schools in the district and what are plans to address that?
How is it decided which schools get what amounts for specific things such as technology improvement and ESE support staff/equipment?
How are individual school budgets "rolled up" into the larger district budget? How much control (or autonomy) does the principal have in designing the school's budget?
How do you plan to meet class size limits and what would you say to those unhappy with previous choices by the district to pay the penalty rather than fully comply, considering many in the district voted to institute these limits as a priority issue?
Policy & Political Reform (ONE by ONE Community Agreement)
How can we lobby to the state level about the distribution of money coming from local taxes?
Does the district have any flexibility in using the mandated charter school capital dollars for traditional school needs?
- Deirdre Conner

Those who are pregnant come to chiropractors with problems such as heartburn, morning sickness, low back pain, breech babies, sciatica, swollen ankles and feet, headaches, and constipation. During a pregnancy, Dr. Nadler will help to formulate a specific solution to target the problem areas at every stage. Having regular chiropractic care during a pregnancy can reveal important information regarding a person's overall heath and provide a base for an effective course of action during each stage of a pregnancy.
Chiropractic care has been shown to decrease labor time, reduce the need for pain medications and may even reduce the incidence of post-partum.

Figli è un film del 2020 diretto da Giuseppe Bonito.

La sceneggiatura è stata scritta da Mattia Torre ed è tratta dal suo monologo I figli invecchiano, interpretato da Valerio Mastandrea, protagonista del film. Mattia Torre, morto di malattia nel 2019 prima dell'inizio delle riprese, ne ha affidato la realizzazione a Bonito, che era stato suo assistente alla regia in Boris.

Trama
Nicola e Sara sono una coppia innamorata e felice; sono sposati da tempo, hanno una figlia di sei anni e una vita che scorre senza intoppi. Ma quella che era iniziata come una dolce fiaba romantica si trasforma in un vero incubo con l'arrivo di Pietro, il secondo figlio della coppia. Quella che sembrava una perfetta famiglia media inizia a mostrare i primi squilibri e i due coniugi si ritroveranno a scontrarsi con l'imprevedibile. Iniziano così a emergere vecchi rancori, insoddisfazioni che non riescono più a essere celate e ogni minimo disaccordo sembra essere motivo di litigio.
Anche gli amici della coppia mostreranno l'instabilità che sembra innestare la crescita di uno o più figli, soprattutto se non si è più ventenni. L'unica salvezza sembra essere una babysitter, ma la ricerca è ardua e trovare una che faccia al caso loro sembra un'impresa titanica.
Tra bimbi che piangono, lavatrici, urla e faccende domestiche accumulate, Sara e Nicola dovranno imparare a gestire la situazione ed affrontare le problematiche di coppia.

wanted to change the agreement. Starting from 1963 to 1974, intercommunal violence went on especially and sadly towards Turkish Cypriots.
On 20th July 1974 Turkey came to "bring peace to the whole island" after Greek Cypriots supported by Greece staged a coup on 15th July 1974 and took over the island.
Even though the UK was also a guarantor of the island they didn't intervene. So Turkey did so on her own and saved the Turkish Cypriot people. After that date our beautiful island was separated into two parts where Greek Cypriots live on one side and Turkish Cypriots on the other. Recognising there would be no solution, Turkish Cypriots established the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on 15th November 1983.
Unfortunately the TRNC is not recognised by the rest of the world except for Turkey who has supported us in every way up to today. If it wasn't for Turkey there would probably be no Turkish Cypriots living on this island. The Greek Cyprus government is still making anti propaganda about the TRNC. It claims that North Cyprus is a part of the island that is 'occupied by Turkey'.
It may seem old history to our generation but unfortunately the conflict between two people's (Turkish and Greek Cypriots) is still ongoing. Many generations were born into this dispute and many have unfortunately passed away without seeing a solution between the two peoples. Peace attempts are made once every few years but unfortunately it has not yet come to any conclusion. It looks like the solution is the lack of a solution!
Both peoples have lots in common; culture, food, arts, habits etc. and both get along well together as individuals. It is very sad to see that serious problems and conflict created by the leaders over the years has brought the residents of the island to the point where hatred is increasing. I hope by the time I am an adult all this will end and we can all be friends. I hope nothing is carried over to the next generation.
Until a solid solution comes we, as Turkish Cypriots, have to hold on to our Republic with all our best efforts.
Nice and concise piece. We need more statements like these, explaining the "big picture" vis-a-vis the Cyprus situation, as so many seem to be lost in the weeds.


However, in the past 30 years, although I have always been a member of the Texas Music Commission's group of Texas artists and producers, I have never received any recognition from my home State in which I was born. Texas is just so big that it's easy to get lost in a book that has over 15,500 listings for those in the music business just in Texas. I traveled with a group when I was going to school in Waxahachie, Texas at Southwestern and probably sang or performed in every small town west of the Pecos in my early years as a singer-songwriter. I pastored a church for a short time in Plainview, Texas and married a girl from Big Spring, Texas. I have one child who is a medical professional at Vanderbilt hospital here in Nashville.
I can't thank the Lord enough for allowing me to live to be recognized by my home State of Texas in this marvelous event. Nothing means more to you than having those you love and those where you were born take the time to recognize your life as meaningful. I am honored and humbled to be nominated "Producer Of The Year" for the Texas Music Awards for the year of 2005. And, to have the "Female Vocalist Of The Year" nomination as well on Jen Rathbun just brings tears to my eyes. No individual songwriter in Texas deserves that honor anymore than Jen Rathbun. She's the greatest jazz writer I've ever known.


Kidney diseases are common these days. Result oriented diagnostic test, biopsy is done through removing small tissues to examine whether kidneys are affected by diseases. Sample tissues are viewed by microscope in laboratory to find out the possibility of symptoms.
Many known or unknown kidney diseases including cancer can be diagnosed by kidney biopsies. Tissues procured in this process are checked in the laboratories to see the possibility of unceasing kidney illnesses. Doctors don't suggest this test at the first juncture due to some hard hitting reasons. The possibility of cancerous tissues spreading in the whole kidney can't be ruled out while such biopsies are done. Secondly kidney cancers can be brought under control in normal conditions hence going for typical testing procedure might disturb normal course.
Although there is lesser risk of spreading cancer cells in biopsy but such outcomes are not always seen due to which cancer might spread further.
The option to choose better diagnosis of kidney diseases is possible through doing genuine tests. Kidney biopsy is helpful in zeroing upon certain diagnostic procedure to ensue suitable treatment course. But this test is recommended only when the case has become too much complicate. Biopsies for kidney are done through inserting needle in the body guided through radiological imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan.
The chance of showing negative result is also possible in kidney biopsies when needles are not guided properly. That is why doctors make it an option at the emergency stage only. Usually kidney tissue samples are removed to analyze any unusual deposit, scarring or organism infections. Once the condition is traced treatment process becomes smooth. Biopsy needles damage tissues which are of great cause of concern though.
Why Kidney Biopsy? Progressive kidney failure has become common phenomenon these days. Biopsies of kidney make it possible for the doctors to check how diseases are advancing and what are the major reasons of such failure? These biopsies are boon for doctors to learn about the causes of improper functioning of transplanted kidneys. Anyone choosing kidney biopsies should have detailed meeting with the doctor and mustn't avoid getting information about the pros and cons of these biopsies and possible risks involved in them.
The Step Ahead: Agreeing to certain rules through signing consent after understanding risks and other aspects of kidney biopsy is an important part of this procedure. Although risks of such tests are nominal but doctors must discuss them with the patients in detail to simplify the entire test process. Performed in the hospitals kidney biopsies can be performed by keeping the patients fully awake through administrating light sedations.

Q: Unable to show contact image in shortcut items We develop an app with some features in iPhone 6s.
I faced some issue when showing the contact image in the shortcut item. I am able to show the dummy image, but I am unable to dynamically fetch the contact image and show in the shortcut items.
My images are in documents directory. I need to show in shortcut item.
UIApplicationShortcutIcon iconWithTemplateImageName: --------]

I tried this:
UIApplicationShortcutIcon * photoIcon = [UIApplicationShortcutIcon iconWithTemplateImageName:SaveImage.png];

I can show a direct local image, but I cannot show the image from addressbook.
Any recommendations are welcome.

A: This question is confusing.  You say your images are "in the documents directory", but you want to display images from the address book.
What I recommend doing is getting the contact you want from the CNContactStore (a CNContact has an image attribute named imageData) and then pass it to UIApplicationShortcutIcon which has an init method that takes a CNContact as a parameter (which means it would actually use that image).

Cryptocurrency could be the greatest wealth trend in the history of the world
A session titled 'Is Crypto the New Currency Beyond 2021?' in session.
China with its digital yuan is a leader in the field of digital currencies. However, other countries are closely following suit. This was the consensus of a session titled 'Is Crypto the New Currency Beyond 2021?' on day one of the World Government Summit (WGS) Dialogues.
Moderated by Saqr Ereiqat, Consultant at IBM Global Business Services, the panel discussion brought together three titans of the digital currency industry – Anthony Di Iorio, Founder and CEO of Decentral and Co-Founder of Ethereum, Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation (STF), and Brock Pierce, Co-Founder of Blockchain Capital and IGE.
The panelists launched a conversation on the latest trends shaping the cryptocurrency industry in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.
Emphasizing the importance of getting governments on board when shaping the regulatory environment for digital currencies, Pierce said: "What's imperative is that we make sensible decisions when we are passing regulations, because the world is changing, and we don't want to be left behind because of a decision made in haste that ultimately undermines your nation's future. Nearly half of the world's billionaires now have made their money in crypto. As we live through what could be the greatest wealth trend in the history of the world, it's important to have more people participate in it."
Highlighting the role of cryptocurrency in creating access to financial tools that is not available to many people, Dixon said: "We need to encourage central banks that issue these types of currencies not to ignore the private sector and all the work it has done to innovate here already. When we have that public-to-private combination, we can make the transition seamless for the end users. Interoperability is one of the most important aspects in terms of the payments and financing infrastructure."

The Slow Moon Climbs: The Science, History, and Meaning of Menopause, 1st Edition
Sidney Verba
480 Pages | eBook
Original Copyright 2019 | Published/Released October 2019
This title offers the first comprehensive look at menopause from prehistory to today. The author suggests that the ways we look at menopause are all wrong—and reveals just how wrong we have been. From the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, she draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to reveal how our perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. For most of human history, people had no word for menopause and did not view it as a medical condition. Rather, in traditional foraging and agrarian societies, it was a transition to another important life stage. She examines the importance of elders in rearing future generations and other evolutionary theories, and the emergence of menopause as a medical condition in the Western world. This book introduces new ways of understanding it, and casts menopause, at last, in the positive light it deserves—not only as an essential life stage, but also as a key factor in the history of human flourishing.

Every country seems to be having its own share of haunted highways and spooky freeways. Thanks to the many unfortunate road accidents and our skewed human fascination for mystery and danger, there are now umpteen numbers of infamous highways across the world which have a grim reputation of being haunted with paranormal activity. Here is a list of the most haunted highways all across the globe.
A3 Motor way is a major arterial highway of Croatia spanning 306.5 km. A section of this highway between Staro Petrovo Selo and Nova Gradiska is believed to be haunted due to many road accidents and high paranormal activities. It is believed that the Ghosts of singer Toso Proeski and Dolores Lambasa also haunt this motorway.
Annie road in Totowa, New Jersey is supposedly haunted by a ghost of a lady who was killed in a road accident many years ago.
N9 Road is yet another major arterial highway which connects George with the N1 in Coles berg in South Africa. In 1968, Marie Charlotte Roux was killed in a grim road accident not far from Uniondale on an Easter Sunday. This gave birth to the urban legend of a "Vanishing Hitch hiker". Many drivers have since claimed that a girl asks for a ride and disappears after her "Pick-up".

Although both types of server are essential for a website to function correctly, they are not the same thing. Rather, web servers and application servers work together to deliver all the content from a website to each user who visits the site.
To learn the differences between the two server types, it's important to understand each on its own.
When users navigate to a website, their browsers contact the web server of that site and requests the static content. The web server accepts and fulfills this request. Static content refers to the basic components of a website, including the HTML pages, image files, video files and other types of files included in the website.
Ad servers are a common form of web server used specifically for publishing advertisements. Companies can generate revenue from their content and utilize campaign management tools to facilitate marketing projects. Application servers are much different and are typically used by developers and IT administrators rather than marketing teams.
The role of an application server is different from that of a web server. Instead of simply delivering static content, it generates dynamic content and delivers it to the user's web browser. Application servers, like Apache Tomcat, power the interactive parts of a website and those parts that can appear differently depending on the context of the request.
For example, when a customer visits an online store that displays real-time availability and pricing information for the products, the application server looks up the availability and price for each product and delivers this information in real time.
As well as helping an application server fulfill its basic role of hosting web applications, some application servers also help web developers build new applications. When software developers use application server software to build their applications, they can be sure that they will be supported by the server environment.
Some application servers provide services that improve the security of web applications, as well as diagnostic capabilities that help web developers identify and troubleshoot problems with their web apps.
Application servers retrieve information from databases. Therefore, in order for the application server to work correctly, the databases from which the server draws the information must be kept up to date. Every item of information stored in the database must be correctly organized, categorized and tagged so that the application server can locate the data it needs.
It's also important to ensure that the application server is kept up to date with the latest security developments, as security flaws in applications are responsible for many cybersecurity breaches. Businesses must ensure they take steps to ensure their web applications to protect themselves against hacking.
Web server or application server?
Every website requires a web server to deliver the HTML files that make up the basis of the site. However, the application server can never substitute for the role of the web server. Instead of being competing technologies, web servers and application servers work together to deliver a seamless browsing experience to web users.
It's important to choose an application server that can provide reliable and fast performance. A proven way to find a good application server is to read user reviews from other users of this type of software. User reviews contain information about the features offered by each application server, as well as firsthand accounts of its reliability and overall performance.
Whether you pay for it or get a free VPN not, you should use a VPN. It will help protect your information from both hackers and internet service providers. Nobody aside from you should be viewing your activity and tracking you on the web.
There are tons of options to choose from in our application server software category. Some are better for enterprise, but some are perfect for individuals. But they all provide a software framework for building and deploying web applications, as well as offer services to support an application within the hosting server environment. Do your due diligence and improve your applications.


Monsters attack as much as possible. Monsters will follow you and attack every hour (and counter from any attacks by you), the more you aggro the more hourly damage they risk inflicting upon you (and everyone else in the room). Any time they are hit, they re-aggro on the last person who hit them and will follow them instead, so it is generally a bad idea run aimlessly through ruins just because there are areas without locks. There is always a combat room before a treasure room where defeating the monsters is mandatory to open the door to the treasure.

Dick Tracy, 1990
The boys are back for yet another episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers! This week Dion Baia and J. Blake are again going way down the alley, back to a huge franchise that was revisited during their childhood. A property that because of other comic book characters getting reboots around the same time, this beloved hero was able to finally see a well-deserved adaptation, with some big-time Hollywood clout behind it. We are of course talking about Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy, from 1990.
This Hollywood blockbuster is another example of a film with a huge cast of A-listers, and coming off the heels of 1989's Batman, this property (which had been in the works at the time for over 10 years), had some much-needed life breathed into a then 50+ year-old franchise. Truly being a testament to a pre-CGI world, Tracy was one of the last big-budget features which utilized the old tricks of Hollywood, like SFX, matte-painting, use of miniatures, optical printing, practical sets, practical Effects, and of course, practical make-up. And because of Disney's involvement, boy did this movie use all of the above devices to their absolute fullest, making this film truly be a proper swan-song for old Hollywood before CGI muscled it's way into the field. But why did Disney ultimately take it's name off the title? Even though this movie would not have been realized without the true diligence of Warren Beatty, was he in fact miss-casted in playing the title role of the legendary police detective? How true was this film to it's comic strip roots and creator Chester Gould's vision? Well all these questions will be answered it yet another epic edition of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
*Dion misspoke when he referred to 1920's Irish Chicago gangster Dion O'Banion, as Dion O'Brien.

Welcome back true believers to another exciting and enthralling episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!

Blake and Dion talk about their unbridled love for costar Gary Oldman, focusing particularly on his early body of work, which the boys feel doesn't get its deserved do. Often cited by Oldman himself as one of his favor roles, why did this film literally come and go in the cinema? Did Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas (out the same year) actually have anything to do with it? Or is that just speculation? What inside stories do the boys themselves have from people they know who worked on this film and others around this time, that paints the picture of what was happening behind the scenes for the lead actors during this period? And how much foresight did this story have about the revitalization and gentrification that is currently happening in New York City, that had its roots in this film's backdrop, Hell's Kitchen circa 1989-90?

During the glory days of the town and the tip of the Kintyre peninsula, more that thirty distilleries were active in the area. Campbeltown was also known as 'The Whisky Capital of the World' .Springbank distillery was built in 1828 by two brothers, Archibald and Hugh Mitchell and whisky has been distilled legally on the site of the present distillery since. Rumour has it that their father had already been running an illegal distillery at the same location for years. Apart from the 'Springbank' brand the distillery produces two other deluxe brands, Hazelburn and Longrow.
The power of the Longrow malt is more than matched by the flavours from the Barolo wine casks. The fruit notes become drier on the palate, dried grapes mingle with oak tannins but still allows the smokiness of the young Longrow to shine through.

Fresh protests expected in Gaza, after deadly clashes during Jerusalem embassy protests
Israel has faced international outcry after 55 people were killed and thousands injured during protests against the Jerusalem embassy in the Gaza strip
15 May 2018, 8:54am
Fresh protests against Israel are expected in the Palestinian territories, a day after Israeli troops killed 55 people during protests in the Gaza strip.
Isreal faced international condemnation after what was said to be Gaza's bloodiest day in years, during protests against the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem.
The funerals of those killed are expected to take place in the coastal enclave today.
Tuesday now marks the 70th anniversary of what Palestinians call the Nakba, or Catastrophe, that saw thousands flee amid the creation of Israel in 1948, and more protests are to be expected.
Palestinian officials said that, as well as those killed, about 2,700 people were injured in Monday's violence - which they condemned as a massacre. It was the deadliest day in Gaza since the 2014 war.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said his military was acting in self-defence against Gaza's Islamist rulers, Hamas, who he said wanted to destroy Israel.
Israel said some 40,000 Palestinians had taken part in "violent riots" at 13 locations along the Gaza Strip security fence.
Palestinians hurled stones and incendiary devices, while the Israeli military used tear gas and live fire from snipers.
Netanyahu defended his military, saying: "Every country has an obligation to defend its borders.
"The Hamas terrorist organisation declares its intention to destroy Israel and sends thousands to breach the border fence in order to achieve this goal. We will continue to act with determination to protect our sovereignty and our citizens."
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman said soldiers had fired on those engaged in "terrorist activity and not on demonstrators, who were dispersed by usual means such as tear gas and according to the rules of engagement".
Announcing three days of mourning, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said: "Today once again, the massacres against our people continue."
The UN human rights chief, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, decried Monday's "shocking killing of dozens", saying "those responsible for outrageous human rights violations must be held to account".
Turkey said it would recall its ambassadors to the US and Israel, and its president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, described Israel's actions as "genocide". South Africa also recalled its ambassador in protest at the "violent aggression carried out by Israeli armed forces".
In Washington, the White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah was repeatedly challenged to condemn the Israeli response. "We believe Hamas is responsible for these tragic deaths," he told reporters. "Their rather cynical exploitation of the situation is what's leading to these deaths and we want it stopped."

Битва за Амран (27 — 30 апреля 1994 года) — Крупнейшее танковое сражение гражданской войны в Йемене 1994 года.

Предыстория
В 1990 году Северный и Южный Йемен объединились. Одним из принципов объединения было смешение северных и южных воинских частей друг с другом. Северяне перед объединением имели от 715 до 800 танков, южане от 480 до 530 танков. Перестрелки между северянами и южанами происходили довольно часто. В феврале 1994 года произошли вооружённые столкновения в провинции Абьа в южной части страны. В феврале 1994 года боевые действия перешли уже на большой уровень.

Ход боя
27 апреля на территории военной базы Амран в северной части страны неподалёку от столицы Саны располагались 1-я танковая бригада северян (M60A1 и Т-55) и 3-я танковая бригада южан (Т-62 и Т-55), в общей сумме около 200 танков, при этом у южан имелось на 30% танков больше.

По данным американского журналиста Тима Макинтоша в тот день южане первыми открыли огонь из танков по северянам, по данным английского журналиста Майка Келли первыми открыли огонь танки северян. В результате завязалась танковая битва, танки и орудия стреляли друг в друга буквально «в упор». Первый бой закончился через 20 часов, десятки танков были подбиты, было убито 79 человек. Спорадические танковые дуэли продолжались до 30 апреля. Танки южан потерпели поражение потеряв по западным данным 60 машин, потери северян неизвестны. Местное население, члены Бакильской конфедерации поддержали южан, уничтожив 13 танков северян. По арабским данным в этом сражении у обеих сторон было убито 200 и ранено 250-300 человек, более 150 танков и 22 САУ было уничтожено, 159 зданий было разрушено танковым огнём, 400 южан попали в плен.
