Celtic blast David Turnbull agent in bizarre Twitter update on transfer deal
CELTIC have gone public over their deal for Motherwell star David Turnbull with a bizarre Twitter post.
By Rhys Turrell / Published 14th June 2019
Celtic looked set to sign the talented youngster after agreeing a £3m fee with his club.
However the deal could now be off after a stunning turn over events were exposed on social media.
Celtic posted on their official Twitter feed that they had agreed terms with Motherwell for Turnbull.
But in a highly unusual move, they claimed that personal terms offered to the player via his agent had been rebuffed.

The Bhoys the followed up with a second tweet laying into the midfielder's representative.
The club tweeted: "#CelticFC was pleased to agree a record-breaking fee with Motherwell FC for David Turnbull and we have quickly followed this up with a fantastic offer to the player through his agent. (1/2)
"Currently, we have been unable to come to an agreement with the player's agent. #CelticFC is content that it has made a magnificent offer and it is now up to the agent and player to decide if the player wants to join Celtic. If not, we move on. (2/2)"
Celtic have denied claims Turnbull has undergone a medical with the club.

Celtic statement
Motherwell rejected a bid from Barnsley earlier in the summer but it is understood there have been no fresh offers since Wednesday's development with Celtic.
More than a dozen clubs previously asked to be informed of developments, including Manchester City, Bournemouth and Bristol City.
The 19-year-old midfielder has two years left on his Motherwell contract, which he only signed in January.
Speaking then, he said: "I can kick on now, keep getting games under my belt, keep trying to do what I'm doing and hopefully it could be the start of something.
"I think I've made a decent start, but I know I've got a lot to learn and the place for me to do that is at Motherwell."
Turnbull joined his boyhood club at the age of nine and enjoyed a spectacular breakthrough season last term, hitting 15 goals in 30 Ladbrokes Premiership games.

(CNN) -- A liberal organization filed a federal suit Monday against Clear Channel Communications alleging breach of contract for its rejection of a billboard that would have placed an anti-war message in Times Square.
Project Billboard -- a non-profit advocacy group formed last year -- said that Clear Channel had turned down the ad for political reasons that stretched beyond the reasons allowed in its contract.
The organization had sought to post a 40-foot billboard with the text: "Democracy is best taught by example, not by war," along with a cartoon image of a bomb colored in red, white and blue.
"Our contract called for them to refuse anything that was illegal or that they deemed was morally offensive to the standards of the community," said Project Billboard official Deborah Rappaport.
"We happen to think that this is not morally offensive to the standards of the community."
The group states on its Web site that its goal is get people to discuss what it calls critical issues: the economy, environment, education, health care, national security, and U.S. military power.
Project Billboard said it had agreed to pay Clear Channel $368,000 for the billboard's three month run on the side of the Marriott Marquis hotel in Manhattan's Times Square.
The ad's run was scheduled to begin on August 2, a few weeks before Republicans gather in New York to nominate President Bush for a second term in office.
Clear Channel denied any political agenda in rejecting the ad. Paul Meyer, who runs the company's outdoor billboard division, said the image of a bomb was considered offensive in a city that had been a target of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.
"Our local manager made the decision that displaying bomb imagery in New York City in the current environment is inappropriate," Meyer said.
"We have absolutely no problem with the content of the message. Only the bomb imagery." Meyer said he had not yet seen a copy of the lawsuit, but was not concerned about it.
Looming over Times Square today in the space rented by Project Billboard is an advertisement for the current movie "The Day After Tomorrow" that shows the Statue of Liberty encased in ice after the city is hit by a climatic catastrophe.
In its complaint, Project Billboard said that Clear Channel said it is "restricted from posting advertising of a political nature on Marriott Marquis sites."
Meyer said that the Marriott Marquis, which owned the billboard space, had an absolute right to reject advertising copy.
A Marriott Marquis spokeswoman said the hotel had found the bomb image inappropriate. She said the Marriott Marquis had understood the ad would encourage people to vote.
Rappaport said the organization had submitted a second version of the ad with an image of a dove replacing the bomb, and no change to the text. She said that Clear Channel had not yet responded to the amended ad.
Meyer said his company would have no problem with the ad as long as the dove image replaced the bomb.
The Marriott spokeswoman said that the hotel company had not had a chance to determine whether the replacement would be accepted.
Clear Channel has faced previous criticism for perceptions that its top executives are close to the Republican Party.
Radio host Howard Stern lashed out at Clear Channel last month and accused the company of taking him off the air because he had spoken out against President Bush, not because, as the company said, it deemed certain Stern comments indecent.

A loose left-wing alliance whose leaders include former German finance minister Oskar Lafontaine has finalised plans to run on a common platform in the general election expected in September.
The ex-communist Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) and a smaller group of dissidents from the ruling Social Democrats are expected to merge after the election to become the third largest party in the German parliament.
The PDS, led by Gregor Gysi, decided at a conference on Sunday in Berlin to change its name to the Left Party.
Separately, the Election Alternative for Work and Social Justice (WASG), whose figurehead is Mr Lafontaine, a former SPD chairman, last Saturday endorsed the plan to campaign under the Left Party banner.
The challenge from the Left will further reduce the SPD's chances of winning a third term.
It came as the ruling party made a bid to win back disillusioned voters with a manifesto that rules out student fees, a rise in retirement age and any overhaul of Germany's consensual wage-setting mechanisms.
It also provides for an increase in taxes on earners of £166,000 a year, but this is unlikely to wash with voters since it follows a move to cut taxes on the rich at the start of the year. Moreover, the 43-page document does not reverse unpopular "flexible" labour market and welfare reforms that have hit living standards and job security while also failing to cut the record 5-million-long dole queues.
Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat Union (CDU) and its sister party, the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), are heading for a near-certain victory. Ms Merkel has been characterised as Germany's answer to Margaret Thatcher, but businesses have criticised the CDU/CSU manifesto for failing to attack welfare, job protection and unions more aggressively.
Their manifesto calls for cuts in income-based social security contributions funded by a regressive rise in VAT, a decentralisation of wage bargaining and measures allowing companies with fewer than 20 employees to hire and fire workers more easily. It also promises a relaxation of legal protection against arbitrary dismissal in larger companies.
While Ms Merkel and Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder see cheap and compliant labour as the key to slashing unemployment, no party — not even the new Left Party — is challenging what is widely regarded as the main cause of German economic stagnation: the euro's single European interest rate and the Stability Pact's overly restrictive budget deficit rules.

Consumer lending startup Affirm has tried to make it easier for people to make big-ticket purchases at checkout by providing financing options that it believes are better than using a credit card.
Today Affirm has announced it has more than 1,000 merchants signed up to offer its financing options at checkout, helping to reduce the friction around making large purchases and, by extension, increasing sales for its partners.
While promoting its most recent milestone, Affirm is also trying to get across the message of how it's different — and frankly, better — than point-of-sale financing options of the past. As a result, the company is pushing a marketing campaign around "honest finance" to enumerate the ways in which Affirm helps consumers by providing more access and better terms for big-ticket items.
After decades of predatory lending practices at checkout, it's no wonder Affirm is trying to distance itself from the competition. Retailers seeking to boost sales previously aligned themselves with financing partners who sought to hoodwink consumers into adopting revolving credit lines built on compound interest, hidden fees and small print.
While advertisements promoted zero-percent interest on the cash borrowed to make a purchase, the banks financing those credit lines made the bulk of their money off of fees that inevitably sprung up if a consumer didn't pay them off before the end of a certain term, or if they made a late payment.
Got this ad on Instagram for $393 cotton pants available via subprime loan.
It's easy to debate the merits of financing a pair of ugly, expensive pants, but for Affirm CEO Max Levchin, that misses the point. It's not the lender's job to decide if a borrower should buy a thing, but whether or not she will be able to pay back the loan.
That is, the goal is not to place judgments around what one consumer may value over another. The same borrower who finances a $2,500 couch using Affirm may think the guy buying a $2,500 road bike is out of his mind.
In that way, Affirm is agnostic. All it cares about, really, is whether or not the borrower can afford to pay back a loan and if the terms are fair. Which brings us to the second criticism of the $400 pants example — i.e. the 10 percent APR for 12 months.
You might say that the interest rate is high for a short-term loan, but the company would probably argue that it's better than using a credit card and certainly better than point-of-sale financing options of the past.
Furthermore, Levchin points out how transparency is an important part of the way the financing is messaged to the consumer. "We express the interest in both rates and dollars," he said. The interest is capped and there are no wacky fees to surprise the consumer.
Fairness — i.e. not charging compounding or deferred interest — is one part of Affirm's idea of "honest finance," and so is simplicity. But another aspect is Affirm's ability to provide access to credit for borrowers that might not qualify for other short-term loans or credit cards — and certainly wouldn't qualify on the same terms.
Because it doesn't rely as heavily on FICO or other credit agencies, and has instead built its own ID verification and fraud prevention techniques, Affirm is more comfortable extending credit to consumers who might have a thin credit file, for instance.
And Affirm says it will never extend credit to someone it doesn't think will be able to pay the loan back. In that way, the company is setting itself apart from more predatory lenders that issue credit lines while banking on late fees.
Affirm hopes the idea of honest finance will cause more retail partners to sign up, as it not only helps them increase sales, but also helps them avoid the fallout when customers think they're screwed by financing partners. At least, that's what the company is betting on with its latest campaign.


Jacob Pavels was born at Hielmelands rectory 17 April 1740. He was the youngest son of Jacob Claussøn Pavels, parish priest in Hjelmeland and Brynhild Pedersdatter Hielm. When his father died in 1748, he came as a lad to live with his eldest brother, Peder Pavels, the resident curate in Aas (resident in Drøbak), and became confirmed in Frogn church in the autumn 1755. As a 23 year old he became the regiment quartermaster and auditor for "Vesterlenske Regiment and in 1773 became "War councillor" and in 1775 General Auditor. He had a general literary education. Then in 1777 he became town clerk and later official advisor in Kristiansand, with help of his distinguished mother-in-law, Colonel Hans de Tonsberg's wife Sophie Beate HUITFELDT who sent the application to have him appointed. Five years later he got "parting in grace" from his public office and moved to Drøbak.

Randazzo confirmed McClendon's view in answering questions from a pool reporter: "(McClendon) took his hand and shooed off my call."
There was no suggestion from Randazzo nor crew chief Brian Gorman, who was at first base, that McClendon's gesture was obscene. A hand wave, apparently, was sufficient.
"Gestures," Gorman said, "are just as powerful as words sometimes."
The Mariners led 7-0 at the time and went on to win 8-1.
Randazzo was working the plate Saturday when he ejected McClendon in the second inning of Detroit's 4-2 victory for criticizing ball-and-strike calls from the bench.
McClendon insisted later he didn't say anything at the time of the ejection but acknowledged several members of the Mariners' staff and bench spoke out.
Randazzo answered "no" when asked whether Saturday's ejection had any impact on Sunday's incident.
McClendon said: "Really, there's not a lot to say on that. The incident and what happened speaks for itself. You guys saw it. There's no sense in me even commenting on it."
JONES SENT DOWN
An eight-man bullpen, the Mariners decided, is worth holding onto — even as they prepare for three games without a designated hitter.
The Mariners optioned outfielder James Jones to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday to clear space for the return of left-hander Roenis Elias, who will start Monday night in Philadelphia.
Jones, 25, appeared in just four games, all as a late-inning replacement, following his Aug. 11 recall from Tacoma. He spent much of the season as the Mariners' center fielder and batted .256 with 20 steals in 83 games.
It's not surprising the Mariners chose to keep their bullpen intact. The unit leads the American League with a 2.39 ERA.
"One of the strengths of our team is our bullpen," McClendon said. "It only makes sense to protect it. We haven't overused any of those guys, and I want to keep it that way."
Elias, 26, was 9-9 with a 4.14 ERA in 1342/3 innings over 23 starts when optioned to Tacoma after his Aug. 7 outing against the White Sox. The move was made, primarily, to slow his rising innings count.
Club officials previously indicated they wanted to limit Elias to 170-180 innings this season because he logged just 1422/3 innings last season in the minors and winter ball.
Elias pitched five hitless innings for Tacoma in his only minor-league start.
SAUNDERS UPDATE
Outfielder Michael Saunders might want to settle in for a longer stay at Tacoma as he works through his rehab assignment for a strained left oblique.
McClendon contends it requires "at least 20 at-bats where you're putting good at-bats together" before an injured player is ready to return to active duty.
Further, McClendon believes Saunders' three-day absence last week for paternity leave effectively reset that minimum 20 at-bat cycle.
"You've got to start over," McClendon said. "We're in a race. There's 40 games left. There are no projects at this time of year. We've got to be mark on. We've got to be right with everything we do.
"When he gets back here, he's got to contribute. There can't be a period of, 'I need to get my timing down.' That just doesn't work."
Rehab assignments are limited to 20 days for non-pitchers, and Saunders' clock started Aug. 7 — although he has an option remaining and could be kept at Tacoma until rosters expand in September.
Saunders was 8-for-26 through Saturday in seven rehab games after batting .276 for the Mariners in 65 games with six homers and 28 RBIs.
Even if Saunders is judged healthy, his role is hard to assess because the outfield, with the additions of Austin Jackson and Chris Denorfia, is more crowded than when he suffered the injury on a July 10 swing.
With Jackson and Dustin Ackley entrenched as starters in center and left, Saunders' best chance for playing time would be to supplant veteran Endy Chavez as the lefty portion of the right-field platoon with Denorfia.
Except Chavez has a .314/.340/.425 slash against right-handed pitchers.
"That's a great question," McClendon said, "but I just don't know. We're 11 games over, and guys are playing well. Do you upset your applecart? I don't know."
Cuban free-agent outfielder Rusney Castillo, who attracted the Mariners' interest, could command a six-year deal for $50 million after a series of individual workouts, according to FoxSports.com. The Tigers, Phillies, Cubs, Yankees and Red Sox are viewed as the top contenders to sign him. ... SSecond baseman Robinson Cano has struck out one time in 66 plate appearances over the past 16 games. Cano also scored three runs in a game for the first time this season. He had 20 career games of scoring three runs or more while playing the previous nine years for the Yankees. ... Designated hitter Kendrys Morales went 2-for-3 with a walk and is batting .323 (10-for-31) in his last eight games. ... All three weekend games at Comerica Park in Detroit were sellouts. ... Third baseman Kyle Seager had his ninth three-RBI (or more) game of the season but his first since July 1.
The Mariners activated outfielder Jabari Blash from the suspended list and transferred him to Double-A Jackson from Tacoma.
Blash, 25, served a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a second time for a "drug of abuse." He opened the season with 25 games at Jackson before getting promoted to Tacoma.
Overall, Blash batted .228 with 17 homers and 57 RBIs in 70 games.
It was 13 years ago Monday — Aug. 18, 2001 — that Kazuhiro Sasaki broke his own Mariners record by getting his 38th save in a 7-6 victory over the Yankees in New York.
Sasaki finished with 45 saves, which remains the club record. Fernando Rodney has 35, which ranks ninth in franchise history and puts him on pace to finish with 46 .
The Mariners open a three-game series at 4:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Rookie lefty Roenis Elias (9-9, 4.14 ERA) will oppose Phillies right-hander Jerome Williams (0-0, 3.38). Root Sports will broadcast the game.

Why Esports Organizations Are Recruiting Large Fortnite Teams
Fortnite, Overwatch, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Fortnite's meteoric rise to the top of the gaming scene has been turning heads since before Epic Games even announced it would allot $100M in prize money over the next year or unveiled plans for its World Cup event.
Esports franchises have had their eyes on the title since its battle royale mode came out and started stealing viewers from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on Twitch, and it didn't take long for teams to start nabbing the game's top prospects and signing its most entertaining personalities.
"Fortnite has never taken itself too seriously."
Despite maintaining a whimsical identity and Epic's lighthearted approach, Fortnite immediately had esports execs speculating on the game's potential as an esport.
"Fortnite has never taken itself too seriously and it focuses on both the competitive and influencer aspects of the game instead of strictly being competitive like a normal esport," said Frank Villarreal, CEO & co-founder of esports organization Rogue .
PlayVS and Epic Games to Offer Fortnite Leagues to High Schools and Colleges
"The game doesn't have to take itself too seriously to be the largest esport. … It's where the esports market is headed right now."
Team Liquid Co-CEO Steve Arhancet tried the game himself when it came out and was confident enough in its staying power enough that he signed a roster of players before Epic had even committed $100M to prizes.
Even though the game complemented Twitch's influencer-based atmosphere, Arhancet knew he wanted Team Liquid to have the most competitive Fortnite team possible ready in the wings for whenever Epic announced its esports strategy.
"Team Liquid is a very competitive first organization, and results are paramount," he said. "While there could have been a strategy to sign players that were more content creators or streamers, we decided to take the approach of identifying some of the best players in the game."
While teams like Rogue have approached Fortnite esports by using influencers like Ben "Dr. Lupo" Lupo as catalysts for building its roster, Arhancet wants his team to develop the most skilled team possible and let the popularity portion of the equation take care of itself.
"Epic's strategy on incorporating esports in a casual and influencer-focused way, I think, is innovative and distinctive," Arhancet said. "For us, how we interact with that is that we just develop athletes to compete at the highest level."
Villarreal took the inverse approach. Instead of watching hours of pro scrims as Arhancet has, Villarreal went to Twitch streams in search of talented players who also knew how to engage an audience.
Rogue added Lupo to its team originally as a Destiny II player, but when that game's potential as an esport faded, Villarreal decided to keep Lupo as a streamer. Once Fortnite's battle royale took Twitch by storm, Lupo's stream took off, and Villarreal used that as an opportunity to dip his team's toes in the influencer pool while molding a team around him.
"We took into consideration what Epic was looking to with the esports scene," he said. "What they seem to be doing with the esports scene is making one that balances popularity and influencers with skill. In the best scenario, they want highly-skilled influencers that are entertaining and can engage an audience to be the ones playing competitive games.
"The best way to make sure that they're in every tournament is by turning them into influencers that can get invited into every tournament."
On the other hand, Team Liquid doesn't care as much if its players are streaming. After assembling his roster, Arhancet quickly made sure to equip the team with powerful computers and gather them for a Fortnite bootcamp.
"If we just give our athletes the absolute best resources to play at the highest level possible no matter what the respective event, we just feel like it will work itself out," Arhancet said.

He added that his players are allowed to create content on top of their training, but he had no qualms about his belief that winning trumped all.
Epic Games has remained nimble during Fornite's youth as an esport. Instead of establishing a franchised league the way Activision Blizzard did for Overwatch , the developer has kept an open mind about what Fortnite can be as an esport.
"They are staying dynamic. I think their approach is to listen."
During Fortnite's Summer Skirmish, Epic continually flirted with different formats for the event to find one that could be appreciated by players and spectators alike. With the series' sequel, the Fall Skirmish, the developer is looking to carry on that experimentation process.
Though that lack of definition could come across as potentially volatile to some, Arhancet seems to view it as comforting.
"They are staying dynamic. I think their approach is to listen. 'Let's read the forums. Let's look at the Discord chat. Let's read what people are saying about the game. Let's get pro player feedback, and let's keep things dynamic in the first year,'" Arhancet said.
Villarreal also agrees with Epic's method of early experimentation and thinks it will help the developer find the best format that works for the game as an esport.
"They're trying everything until they find the format that works best for the game that they publish," he said.
In traditional sports, leagues frequently tweak rules from year to year in an attempt to either enhance the spectator experience or improve the game's competitiveness. Arhancet compares what Epic is doing now with what the NBA does when it does something like move the three-point line.
"Some of those things may fly in the face of being the best basketball player," he said. "Epic is saying, 'hey, we don't want it to be about proving who's the best. We want it to be swayed a little bit in the other direction. We want the content to be really enjoyable to watch."
Arhancet said that Fortnite's frequent and significant format changes have made developing a team of high-performing players akin to training for a decathlon.
"For us, we just want to be flexible," he said. "It's not good or bad. It's just a variable tournament format where just being good at one style doesn't get you there. I think you can enjoy a decathlon just as much as you can enjoy watching runner at the Olympics run the mile."

Protector starts with 'PR': the coming battle over military drone use in the UK
23/04/2020 01/05/2020 Tim Street
UK has been using armed drones overseas since 2008
The use of armed drones by the UK and in particular, the US, grew rapidly in the early 2000s as the ability to carry out remote strikes and targeted killings, with no risk to one's own forces, was increasingly valued. However, because the public perception of drones has always generally been negative, military, industry and government officials know that they need to shape and improve how the public perceive the use of these systems. This effort is now being ratcheted up for two key and related reasons: i) to continue to be able to use armed drones for military operations overseas ii) to fly military drones in domestic airspace.
Firstly, military officials and political leaders know that drones have a serious image problem which may place limits on their operational deployment and use. Under President Obama the US's use of armed drones, including the Predator and Reaper models, grew massively, partly to manage and reduce public opposition to the deployment of US troops overseas following the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. Admiral Dennis Blair, Obama's former director of national intelligence, explained the US use of drones for targeted killing as "the politically advantageous thing to do – low cost, no U.S. casualties, gives the appearance of toughness." Blair went on to comment that the policy "plays well domestically, and it is unpopular only in other countries. Any damage it does to the national interest only shows up over the long term."
In 2013 then UK defence secretary Phillip Hammond joined in the chorus of approval of the growing use of drones, arguing that we should "ignore the drone myths" because these weapons are not "indiscriminate killers" but rather "assets that keep civilians and troops safe". Yet just two years later, Hammond's fellow Conservative MP, David Davis, took quite a different view. Davis stated, regarding the UK's involvement in the US drone programme and the policy of targeted killing, that "what we are talking about here is murder. It may be that you are murdering terrorists and the people are villains, but it is still murder. We don't countenance murdering criminals in Britain. Why should we countenance murdering them in Yemen or anywhere else?"
Such high-level, public disagreements concerning the costs and benefits of armed drones, in addition to the widespread global opposition to US drone strikes, shows that the image problem these weapons have isn't going away anytime soon. Yet, judging by President Trump's decision earlier this year to kill Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani – using a Reaper drone – neither is Washington's aggressive use of these weapons.
Secondly, the UK and US are developing military drones that can be certified to fly in domestic airspace in the next few years. As our recent briefing on the UK's next generation Protector armed drone explains, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MOD) would like to be able to fly this new drone in UK airspace so it can be deployed "across the full spectrum of operations", including: domestic security purposes, such as surveillance; training personnel; and being available to civil authorities for contingencies and emergencies.
General Atomics' ad featuring a Protector drone over London has been appearing in defence press
In email exchanges involving the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which we obtained via the Freedom of Information Act, decision-makers acknowledge that "public acceptance" will be an "important factor" in "normalising" the domestic use of Protector. The question here is, to what extent can or will the CAA, as the body responsible for ensuring "the aviation industry meets the highest safety standards", seek to defend public concerns and interests on this issue?
Perhaps the most immediate area of concern relating to Protector is that of safety, simply because large military drones frequently crash. Data collated by Drone Wars reveals that over 250 large military drones within the same NATO classification as Protector have crashed in the past decade—twice a month on average. This fact alone raises serious questions about whether Protector drones should be flown in UK airspace. In addition to safety concerns, there are significant privacy and civil liberties issues that will need to be fully addressed if the public are to be convinced that Protector should be flown within the UK.
Opinion polls have shown that the public are worried about the domestic presence of aerial drones. A 2018 NESTA study of British public attitudes to drones found that "safety, privacy and accountability concerns dominate" discussion of the issue. Elsewhere, a recent poll of the American public's views on commercial drones found that "68% of respondents are concerned about safety and drones; only 7% are not concerned at all." In addition, "71%" of respondents had "privacy concerns" and "93% want some form of regulation". The controversial nature of drones, including their surveillance and intelligence gathering capabilities – and the powerful weapons they carry – is likely to undermine public support for their use in domestic airspace. An important 2014 report by Birmingham University directly addressed this issue, arguing that before drones "become common in our skies", the UK government "needs to have consulted the public and established appropriate codes of conduct to safeguard the privacy of the citizen".
However, rather than meaningfully engaging with these concerns, military and government bodies are actively trying to persuade people that there is nothing to fear from drones – starting with the very term used to commonly describe these systems. Tim Robinson of the Royal Aeronautical Society noted in 2011 that the public's fear of "flying robots, 'killer drones' or airborne 'terminators'" may "hamper general acceptance" of civil drones and is "difficult to counter." However, Robinson also argues that the drone industry "has not done itself any favours with its choice of terminology" and is trying to popularise terms other than 'drone', which it sees as more accurate and palatable, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS).
The strategy of hiding a wolf in sheep's clothing continues with Protector itself, which was originally destined to be named Scavenger by the UK MOD. Furthermore, the manufacturer of Protector—the US-based General Atomics—refers to it as SkyGuardian, which is part of the more commonly known Predator family of drones, so that Protector is also referred to by industry insiders as Predator B.
The Guardian, 9 March 2020
The official sensitivity and secrecy surrounding these weapons is also illustrated by recent revelations concerning the 2018 flight of a Protector drone from North Dakota in the US to Gloucestershire in the UK. This was the first time a military drone had made a transatlantic journey through British civil airspace. Based on official documents they obtained, Guardian journalists reported that the UK MOD wanted "regulators to give only six days' warning to the public" regarding the flight in order to "prevent protesters organising a demonstration about the drone". However, the regulator in question—the CAA—told the MOD that the longer the delay in issuing the warnings over the flight, the higher the risk of other planes crashing into the drone.
Separately, the online journal Tech Crunch reported that the RAF had edited an article about the flight intended for defence magazine Jane's, to remove references to the "large weapons load" of the drone flying from the US. The RAF officer in question wrote: "I have cut out the weapons bit as this detracts from the article and moves focus from the achievement of the flight to how easily we can kill people". The officer's stated intention in obscuring the lethal nature of Protector was to maintain the "narrative that [drones] are a good thing and I am keen to keep the wind out of the anti-drone lobby sails."
Given the ongoing absence of public discussion concerning Protector – and drones more widely – and the efforts taken to conceal what is going on behind closed doors, it is vital that civil society, the public and parliamentarians hold the UK government to account to ensure future decisions on drones are subject to transparent and democratic processes. After all, we are used to asking who guards the guardians, but now, given the concerns highlighted above, it is clear that we should also ask: who will protect us from Protector?

Home Lifestyle Daniel Kehlmann's "interrogation in the night": Christmas Eve with a terrorist
Daniel Kehlmann's "interrogation in the night": Christmas Eve with a terrorist
Dhe spaces for discourse are becoming increasingly narrow. Now, before we get ourselves wrong, this is not meant politically. But spatial. And a TV balance sheet of the past few weeks.
Almost visionary for times when going out and having limited contact, socially relevant debates are now taking place in the hall. And then the international law suit against the Federal Republic of Germany for neglecting climate protection measures is negotiated (in Andres Veiel's "Ökozid") or the question of whether a person may be master of his own death (in Ferdinand von Schirach's "God") before a fictitious ethics council.
"Gott" star Götz Schubert
Daniel Kehlmannn's "The Interrogation in the Night" pulls the debate room screw a little closer into the Kafkaesque. The outside world no longer takes place. There is no place. A piece for two actors and a watch was supposed to be "Christmas Eve", the template for the film that Matti Geschonneck has now shot with Sophie von Kessel and Charly Hübner for ZDF.
The chamber duel premiered almost four years ago in Vienna. The people are a philosophy professor and a state security guard. The clock is ticking down the hour and a half that the policeman has to find out from the left-wing extremist expert on political philosophy and structural violence when the bomb she presumably, maybe, possibly built with her ex-husband will go off.
"The oppressed of this earth"
A letter of confession was found on her laptop, which she claims was never online. A letter that served as the basis for her seminar, she says, was an introduction to political theory. The elegant woman from a wealthy family completed her habilitation through Frantz Fanon, his book "The Oppressed of the Earth" and "The Concept of Revolutionary Violence".
So far, the reading drama has taken place in suggestive dictatorial rooms, in interrogation rooms, in clinical surroundings. The professor whose name is Judith, which means nothing, was not always doing well on stage when she first met the civil servant whose name is Thomas, which also means nothing. Sometimes she sat there tied up and tortured.
Matti Geschonneck and Kehlmann, who wrote the script himself, leave the clock off and make themselves comfortable with their two debating duel in the suite of a four-star hotel. Both are somehow appropriate to the rather cozy piece and the placement of its original program in the Christmas season, but overall it is not good for the "interrogation".
Thomas (Charly Hübner) is waiting for an answer from Judith (Sophie von Kessel).
Quelle: Sandra Hoever / ZDF
The time pressure is – like the whole bombing story, based on everything – now finally a mere dramaturgical assertion. And the warm light of the suite covers the dialogues like mildew.
Nothing really happens. Sophie von Kessel, who has been carefully made up for every possible danger, takes off her coat after an hour. Charly Hübner, whose passive aggressiveness is only moderately kept in shape by his badly fitting suit, raises his voice every now and then.
It's about gestures, minimal changes in facial expressions, reflections, looks. Nothing should distract from what is actually going on here. A sword fight of the retrodichtomies.
Interview with Daniel Kehlmann
There are: supervised against supervisors, bourgeoisie against proletariat, idealist against realist, rich against poor, left-liberal against right-liberal, revolutionary violence against structural violence, freedom against security.
Everything, however, in finely tuned language, well padded in a kind of discursive wellness atmosphere, as subtly threatening as the barely noticeable music. You poke a little bit into the personal. Every now and then angels of almost physical approach walk across the room. You stay a stranger. No bomb goes off anywhere.
Kehlmann keeps out of the game, disappears behind the hills of his own argumentation much more than Ferdinand von Schirach does in his. He didn't want to cancel out the opposites, but let them collide as neutrally as possible. He said. Intellectually, it should be at eye level. Which is why the professor's worldview has to be the way it is in 1975.
The right has no moral legitimacy
For Kehlmann, both the religious fanatics as opponents of state power and the enemies of the state from the right failed. Kehlmann did not find jihadists interesting because "normally they are not very intelligent people. Fanaticism means that you turn off part of your intelligence ".
It was the same with his right hand. For his salon terrorist, he needed a figure whose revolutionary mechanics were driven by morality to the same extent as those of their counterpart. But he probably did not want to allow the right-wing morality.
It's a shame actually. An intellectually upgraded Beate Zschäpe would have been something different on German television. That would have been uncomfortable for the state security.
They actually exist, the characters. Not dealing with them, not taking them seriously as participants in the dramatic discourse, could turn out to be negligent laziness.

Dr Sima Samar is the current Chairperson of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission. A doctor by training, Samar spent a decade in exile in Pakistan. It was during this time that she began her committed activism for Afghan women's access to healthcare and education. Samar returned to Afghanistan to serve as Deputy President and then Minister of Women's Affairs in the post-Taliban interim government from 2001 to 2003. Since 2005, she has also served as the United Nation Special Rapporteur on Human Rights for Sudan.

Have your rights ever been violated?
When I was seven years old, my family moved to Helmand province in Afghanistan, because of my father's work. I was taught by a local religious teacher, and had no trouble when it came time to sit the first grade exams for maths and language. However, religion was a whole different question. Even though I was a Shiite-born Muslim, I was expected to adhere to the Sunni precepts and history. There was no space for understanding the differences between these two branches of Islam.
Have the rights of your family members been violated?
My father was a polygamist. That was a direct violation of our human rights.
What do you see as an achievement in Afghanistan?
Human rights have a value now in Afghanistan; they are discussed within families and throughout the different regions of the country, even in the most remote areas. Speaking about human rights means breaking taboos in Afghan society. That we can do this now is, for me, one of the greatest achievements of our time.
What do you fear?
I have no fears anymore; I know now that nothing is impossible. I think of the days when I went to Jaghori district, my home town, and how I felt I was all alone in my endeavours. Today I enjoy the full support of the Afghan people. With enough collective effort and determination, things can be done; change can happen.
What are the major challenges facing Afghanistan?
We need a well-structured economic plan for an independent Afghanistan. If the foreign aid stops, even though Afghanistan has a large reserve of natural resources and mines, the people of Afghanistan will suffer from the lack of planning on their government's part.
The level of illiteracy in Afghanistan is an emerging social crisis. Although there has been considerable progress in the area of education, the overall quality is still quite low. If this is not redressed, we will have a great number of Afghan people who are either completely illiterate or not sufficiently literate to participate effectively in their society. This will eventually lead to a social crisis.
Is it possible that girls could once again be banned from schools and women excluded from the social sphere?
No, I can't see this happening again. From Shinwar district to Khost province, where previously schools were banned or burned, people demand schools for girls.
Which factors hinder women's participation in social, economic, political and cultural arenas?
Gender-based distinctions exist at the very base of the social and cultural structure of Afghanistan. From the games children play in the playground to the books they read in school, we can see clear evidence of gender-based discrimination. It starts with the most simple factors and grows throughout society.
A family's level of education also plays an important role. In better-educated families, the differences between the sons and daughters are smaller. In some cases, the daughters are even considered to be somewhat independent. But in the less-educated or illiterate families, as soon as the daughter turns fourteen, she is married. There is no question about it – from this point on, she "belongs" to her husband.
We must also not forget the important question of women's self-esteem and the confidence this gives them to take bigger steps for change.
What do women in Afghanistan demand?
To live in a society where rule of law is effectively implemented; the Afghan leaders have a responsibility to deliver this. Furthermore, if we really believe in equality between men and women, women need to act as equals. In order to achieve a genuinely equal society, women need the space and opportunities to grow and participate in the social, political, and cultural domains of society.
Which social forces can women count on?
The Constitution of Afghanistan and increasing opportunities for women's access to education are two key factors supporting a meaningful role for Afghan women in society. The women of Afghanistan are committed to positive change - this commitment is the greatest resource we have.
"Unveiling Afghanistan, the Unheard Voices of Progress" is a campaign by Armanshahr/OPEN ASIA and FIDH, which explores views held by Afghan civil society actors. Over 50 days, 50 influential social, political, and cultural actors hope to spark conversation and debate about building a society that is inclusive of women's and human rights in Afghanistan.

Achieving site selectivity in carbon-hydrogen (C-H) functionalization reactions is a formidable challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report a novel approach to activating remote C-H bonds at the C5 position of 8-aminoquinoline through copper-catalyzed sulfonylation under mild conditions. Our strategy shows high conversion efficiency, a broad substrate scope, and good toleration with different functional groups. Furthermore, our mechanistic investigations suggest that a single-electron-transfer process plays a vital role in generating sulfonyl radicals and subsequently initiating C-S cross-coupling. Importantly, our copper-catalyzed remote functionalization protocol can be expanded for the construction of a variety of chemical bonds, including C-O, C-Br, C-N, C-C, and C-I. These findings provide a fundamental insight into the activation of remote C-H bonds, while offering new possibilities for rational design of drug molecules and optoelectronic materials requiring specific modification of functional groups. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Copperhead, Guardian Project and F-Droid Partner to Build Open, Verifiably Secure Mobile Ecosystem
Three open-source projects haved joined together to announce a new partnership to create an open, verifiably secure mobile ecosystem of software, services and hardware. Led by the work of the Toronto-based CopperheadOS team on securing the core Android OS, Guardian Project and F-Droid have joined in to partner on envisioning and developing a full mobile ecosystem. The goal is to create a solution that can be verifiably trusted from the operating system, through the network and network services, all the way up to the app stores and apps themselves. Through a future planned crowdfunded and commercial offering, the partnership will provide affordable off-the-shelf solutions, including device hardware and self-hosted app and update distribution servers, for any individual and organizations looking for complete mobile stacks they can trust.
Update 30 March 2016: Copperhead has announced their crowdfunding plans here.
CopperheadOS is a hardened open-source Android based on AOSP, that is available for download and installation on many Nexus devices. The Guardian Project develops popular free and open-source privacy-enhancing apps like Orbot (Tor for Android), ChatSecure, and ObscuraCam, and software libraries like NetCipher, SQLCipher and PanicKit, for developers who want to enable similar features in their own apps. F-Droid is an installable catalogue of free and open source Android software, that is built into CopperheadOS, as the default app store. It enables decentralized and verifiably secure app distribution by any individual or organization.
"I have been a happy CopperheadOS user since the first moment I installed it", says Nathan Freitas, Founder and Director of Guardian Project, " even with running it on a two-generation old, very inexpensive Nexus 5 device. I know I will always have the latest security updates immediately, and that everything on my device is under my control."
"My Copperhead Nexus is the go-to device in my bag, " says Freitas, "when I am handling sensitive information, find myself on a network I don't trust, or am otherwise wary about my communication being tracked, intercepted or tampered with."
Hans-Christoph Steiner who leads the Guardian Project's developer platform says "Copperhead with F-Droid and Orbot provides all of the benefits of a smartphone, without the security and privacy downsides introduced by the major vendors, carriers and closed app stores. By building in F-Droid, Copperhead guarantees its users have direct access to the best free and open software, built directly from source-code in a trusthworthy, verifiable way". Mr. Steiner presented on his work with F-Droid and building "private, unblockable app stores" at FOSDEM 2016 in January.
_Learn more about F-Droid from this FOSDEM 2016 talk (watch the video here)_
Collectively, this partnership creates a global team of information security researchers, forensic analysts, software developers, designers and engaged users, looking to move the state of the art forward for open, verifiably secure and privacy-enhancing mobile technology. The groups hope to expand the effort to include other mobile OS teams, application developers and even hardware developers interested in having the same kind of impact on the privacy and security of mobile computing.
James Donaldson of Copperhead says "It's important for Android users to have a privacy minded viable alternative to closed-source solutions when contemplating mobile security. Teaming up with great partners like F-Droid and Guardian Project allows us to offer our users both security and a great experience with all of the core features they need."
Guardian Project is an open-source effort based in New York, with a global community of contributors and partners. Copperhead is an information security firm located in Toronto, Canada, specializing in protecting data and devices from unauthorized access. F-Droid is a non-profit volunteer project, and is operated by F-Droid Limited, a non-profit organisation registered in England (no. 8420676).

These large shaded areas allow our guests to run, explore, and stretch-out while being supervised and entertained by our staff. We offer individual attention so your dog doesn't get lost in the crowd. Our Doggie Day Care programs are designed to provide the perfect balance of playtime, personal attention and rest for your precious pup.
