Ре́то Пи́рмин Ци́глер (; род. 16 января 1986, Женева) — швейцарский футболист, защитник клуба «Лугано». Известен по выступлениям за национальную сборную Швейцарии. Основная игровая позиция — левый защитник, также может сыграть в центре защиты и на позиции левого полузащитника.

Клубная карьера
Циглер начал карьеру в клубе «Серветт» из родной Женевы, откуда позже перебрался в один из лучших клубов Швейцарии — «Грассхоппер». Летом 2004 года «Тоттенхэм Хотспур» подписал с клубом контракт, согласно которому с 1 января 2005 года Циглер становился игроком лондонского клуба. Однако спортивному директору «Тоттенхэма» Фрэнку Арнесену удалось уговорить швейцарский клуб отпустить игрока в августе того же года. Несмотря на то, что тогда ему было всего 18 лет, он являлся важным звеном в команде Жака Сантини, а когда ему на смену пришёл Мартин Йол, он ещё сильней закрепился в основе «Тоттенхэма». Он мог сыграть как слева в полузащите, так и слева в защите, зачастую меняясь позициями с Тимоте Атуба, ещё одним универсальным игроком «шпор» того времени. В своём дебютном сезоне за «Тоттенхэм» Циглер провёл 31 игру в различных турнирах, включая 23 матча в Премьер-лиге. Он подавал большие надежды и быстро прогрессировал. Фанаты были в восторге от его проходов по флангу и тонкого чувства паса. Свой первый гол в профессиональной карьере Циглер забил 1 января 2005 года в победном матче против «Эвертона» (5:2). По окончании сезона он был признан лучшим молодым игроком «Тоттенхэма». Однако на следующий год после приобретения клубом ряда защитников Циглера отправили в аренду сначала в «Гамбург». Летом 2005 года он отправляется в «Гамбург», где из-за конфликта с главным тренером Томасом Доллем он провёл всего 11 матчей в Бундеслиге и 3 игры в Кубке УЕФА. Вернувшись из аренды в январе 2006 года, он тут же был отдан в аренду другому клубу Премьер-лиги — «Уиган Атлетик». До конца сезона 2005/06 он успел сыграть 10 матчей в Премьер-лиге, один матч в Кубке Англии, а также вышел на замену в финале Кубка лиги. Вернувшись из аренды, Циглер начал сезон 2006/07 в составе «Тоттенхэма», сыграв всего 4 матча, включая Кубок лиги и Кубок УЕФА.

31 января 2007 года Рето Циглер перешёл в «Сампдорию» на правах аренды до конца сезона. 18 февраля 2007 года Циглер провёл свой первый матч за «Сампдорию» в Серии A против «Пармы». 3 июля 2007 года «Сампдория» полностью выкупила права на Циглера. Летом 2010 года появилась информация, что петербургский «Зенит» близок к приобретению Циглера.

26 мая 2011 года на правах свободного агента Рето Циглер перешёл в «Ювентус». Контракт подписан до 30 июня 2015 года. В «Юве» не сыграл ни одного матча.

3 сентября 2011 года Циглер на правах аренды перешёл в «Фенербахче». Аренда рассчитана до 30 июня 2012 года. Там он сыграл 38 матчей и забил 1 гол.

6 сентября 2012 года перешёл на правах аренды в московский «Локомотив». 26 сентября в матче 1/16 Кубка России против армавирского «Торпедо» Рето дебютировал в новой команде. Всего за московский клуб швейцарец принял участие в 7 играх, покинув команду по окончании арендного соглашения.

20 августа 2013 года Циглер на правах аренды перешёл в команду-дебютант итальянской Серии А — «Сассуоло». По неофициальной информации, в рамках арендного соглашения «Ювентус» взял на себя обязательства по выплате части зарплаты футболиста.

С 2015 года Циглер выступал в швейцарском клубе «Сьон». В новом клубе Циглер получил футболку с номером «3».

25 сентября 2017 года Циглер на правах свободного агента присоединился к клубу «Люцерн», подписав контракт до конца года.

2 января 2018 года Циглер подписал контракт с клубом MLS «Даллас». За американский клуб дебютировал 21 февраля 2018 года в первом матче ⅛ финала Лиги чемпионов КОНКАКАФ 2018 против панамского «Тауро». 2 июня 2018 года в матче против «Лос-Анджелеса» забил свой первый гол в MLS. По окончании сезона 2020 срок контракта Циглера с «Далласом» истёк.

25 февраля 2021 года Циглер подписал контракт с клубом «Лугано» сроком до лета 2021 года. 3 июня 2021 года продлил контракт с клубом до лета 2023 года.

Международная карьера
Циглер выступал за различные юношеские и молодёжные сборные Швейцарии (до 17, до 19, до 21). В 2002 году в Дании он помог швейцарцам победить французов в финале чемпионата Европы среди юношей до 17 лет. После нулевой ничьей в основное время швейцарцы взяли верх в серии пенальти со счётом 3:2, и последний, решающий удар нанёс именно Циглер.

Его дебют в главной сборной страны состоялся 26 марта 2005 года в отборочном матче на чемпионат мира 2006 против сборной Франции на «Стад де Франс», игра завершилась вничью (0:0). В том отборочном цикле он сыграл ещё два матча за сборную. В заявку на чемпионат мира 2006 не попал. 19 ноября 2008 года Рето забил свой единственный на данный момент гол за сборную, в победном матче против Финляндии в Санкт-Галлене.

When you're looking at setting up banners on a mobile stage or any indoor and outdoor event, there are several key factors that will ensure your stage banner or backdrop has the best effect on stage. These include the design, size, and materials. But for outdoor stages, such as Stageline SL 250, SL 320, Apex stages, or other mobile stages, there are only two options that we recommend you use for your stages.
Blowthrough mesh banners for your stage banners and backdrops is a must. The mesh is an open weave of mesh and the space between each strand, so if you were to look at one square inch of blowthrough 70/30 vinyl blowthrough mesh, you'll find that it is 70 percent material, and 30 percent holes. This blend allows wind - and sound - to flow right through the material.
With so much wind passing through your mesh, the load on the stage is reduced greatly and your event will be much safer for attendees. Stage collapse is a very real concern and using banners that are solid vinyl pose a greater risk to your event.
70/30 vinyl blowthrough mesh banners is a perfect balance of just enough material to allow your graphic art to clearly visible, and still allow for air to flow through. For 90% of our outdoor events, our customers choose 70/30 mesh. Here is a recent event below with 70/30 vinyl mesh blowthrough.
In high wind situations, such as beach events or in windy cities, you'll need to go even lower down to 30/70 blowthrough mesh banners. This material is 30% material and 70% holes, allowing far greater windflow.
However, your graphic art is also considerably less visible: in every square foot, only 30% of the area is your art design, the rest of the area is nothing but space. Stil, the eye justifies the difference from a distance so if you are in a high wind area, you'll be fine. Here are some photos below of 30/70 blowthrough mesh banners.

The Alliance for Pioneer Square will share how they invested their time and resources in a major business engagement campaign in Pioneer Square.
As an offshoot of the University District Strategic Plan funded by the Only in Seattle grant in 2012, the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) released a draft copy of the University District Design Framework on Tuesday night at the University Heights Center.
Public space – how can parks, streets, and other public spaces better serve the needs of a growing community?
Land use and height – what kinds of growth does the community want, and how can land use regulations help achieve those goals?
Mobility – with light rail on the way, what are the smartest ways to improve infrastructure for all modes of transportation?
Over the next two years, the U-District Urban Design Framework will inform important decisions relating to zoning, design standards, and street design. Now is a great time to get involved and help us understand your vision for the U-District.
To read the full report click here. Comments will be accepted for the draft through April 16.

The Pioneer Square Commercial District Revitalization Project is an initiative to improve the overall business health of Pioneer Square.
The City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development, and the Office of Economic Development are currently working with the Pioneer Square business community to identify how the city can reestablish the neighborhood's competitiveness and strengthen the health of its businesses.
The Office of Economic Development (OED) awarded Only in Seattle initiative grants to the Alliance for Pioneer Square (the Alliance) to fund implementation of all elements in this Action Plan, including organizational development, marketing and promotion, appearance and pedestrian environment, business and retail development, and safety and civility. The Alliance received $100,000 in 2011, $120,000 in 2012, and will receive $100,000 in 2013.
In 2013, the Alliance is also receiving an Only in Seattle "City Infrastructure" award that will provide $80,000 in improvements to the pedestrian environment including: expand holiday lighting south of Kind Street, restripe crosswalks, trim 1st Avenue median trees, and install signature bike racks.
Using OED's funding, the Alliance has developed and executed an aggressive retail attraction strategy, which helped to attract and support development of a number of new businesses and restaurants to Pioneer Square including Matt Dillon's Bar Sajor, London Plane and Indigene, E. Smith Mercantile, Gaba Sushi, Il Corvo Pasta, Rain Shadow Meats Squared, Tinello, and The Lodge. OED provided consulting support in 2012 and 2013 for the Alliance to evaluate its Business Improvement Area assessment and boundaries to increase the sustainability of the Action Plan work.

Attention Seattle foodies! Hankering for simmering Somali goat stew or Lao papaya salad with Blue Crab? What about Vietnamese Claypot fish and Ethiopian dry-cooked lamb? Or how about Okonomiyaki Japanese cabbage pancakes with hazelnut risotto cakes? MLK Jr. Way South, home to some of Seattle's best, independently-owned ethnic eateries, has all of these exotic, tasty dishes and more to offer during the Third Annual Plate of Nations event.
Plate of Nations offers a culinary tour of several continents. During this two-week event, ten MLK restaurants will offer special $15 and $25 sharable meals.
Participating restaurants include Original Philly's (American East Coast, Café Ibex (Ethiopian, Bananas Grill (Mediterranean and Middle Eastern), Rainier BBQ (Vietnamese), Karama (Somali/East African), St. Dames (global vegetarian), Thai Palms (Thai and Lao), Olympic Express (Southeast Asian/Cham Vietnamese Halal), Deo Valente (NY Little Italy American), and Joy Palace (Cantonese). This year a "passport" invites diners to earn stamps for sampling the global cuisines of all 10 restaurants and to become eligible for prizes.
Plate of Nations was launched in 2011 by the MLK Business Association to create a festive event where MLK restaurants can showcase some of their favorite dishes with special menus that invite customers to experience their cultural traditions. Last year the event drew food adventurists from eight states, nine Washington cities and twenty Seattle neighborhoods – 90% of whom said they came to the MLK in the Valley area specifically for Plate of Nations.
Plate of Nations 2013 is sponsored by the MLK Business Association, City of Seattle's Office of Economic Development, Vulcan, Rainier Valley Community Development Fund, and HomeSight. The Office of Economic Development's Only in Seattle initiative provided funding for Plate of Nations.


It may be all donkeys and elephants on Capitol Hill, but clubs in Washington, DC are not so limited.
The government's presence essentially doubles the city's population every day with its massive workforce, but as night falls, that workforce needs to work off some steam. The chichi clans often stick to Dupont Circle, dining at an upscale restaurant with political bigwigs before venturing off to a glitzy nightclub nearby or Downtown.
The District's lively gay club scene is also centered on Dupont Circle, especially along P Street and 17th Street, while college-aged revelers hit up the crazy nightlife scenes that dominate the divey clubs in Adams Morgan.
The underground DC club scene thrives along the U Street Corridor, home to everything from smoky jazz clubs to bumping electronica-filled dance clubs, while the privileged kids in Georgetown have their own healthy supply of list-only clubs that demand ancestral pedigree over cash.
H Street is a great place to let loose at kitschy themed clubs, while even the most exclusive spots in town often have nights that open the club up to DC's large student population, giving everyone a taste of the good life.
From grungy to gold-plated, Washington, DC clubs have it all! And where else are you more likely to be popping and locking on the dance floor with a senator next to you than at a DC club?

After enduring three years of a foundering economy and feuds with the West, things may be looking up for Russia. The Brexit vote in June exposed the deep discord in the European Union, giving Moscow a glimmer of hope that dissenting member states might break the bloc's consensus on its sanctions against Russia in a future vote on their renewal.
Though EU members decided unanimously in July to extend the measures, upcoming elections on the Continent could undermine the bloc's unity. In the United States, meanwhile, Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election has opened a potential path to warmer relations between the United States and Russia, and perhaps even an end to Washington's sanctions on Moscow. The turning political tides in Brussels and Washington could give the Kremlin the leeway to increase its influence in the former Soviet Union, leading the countries in Russia's periphery to re-evaluate their foreign policy positions.
Many of Russia's recent setbacks trace back to 2014. In February of that year, the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine culminated in an uprising that ousted President Viktor Yanukovich from office. The next month, Crimea declared its independence from Ukraine, and Moscow annexed the region and extended support to a separatist rebellion in Ukraine's eastern part of the country. In response, the European Union and United States imposed sanctions on Russia. A few months later, global oil prices began a precipitous decline, and by year's end had fallen nearly by half. The combination of lower oil prices and sanctions plunged Russia into recession and put it on a collision course with the West. At the same time, countries such as Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia worked to strengthen their ties to the European Union and NATO. In the span of a year, the Ukrainian conflict and the oil slump conspired to reverse the gains that Moscow had made over much of the past decade in re-establishing its influence in its former Soviet periphery.
But now, Russia's fortunes could change. Countries throughout the former Soviet Union have taken notice of the shifts occurring in Europe and the United States and are likely re-evaluating their positions with respect to the West as a result. In Moldova, the results of the Nov. 13 presidential election, which ushered the pro-Russia leader of the country's Socialist Party into power, have already demonstrated the country's ebbing interest in drawing closer to the West. Because Moldova's parliament and prime minister still favor integration with the West, however, the president-elect, Igor Dodon, is unlikely to steer the country full sail toward an alliance with Moscow. Nevertheless, he will try to foster deeper economic and political ties with Russia. Georgia, too, has already begun to soften certain aspects of its stance on the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which were at the center of the country's short-lived war with Russia in 2008. Furthermore, in the wake of its own parliamentary elections in October, Georgia is also likely to increase its economic ties with Moscow in the coming year.
Though Ukraine has relied on economic and political support from the West — along with the assurance of sustained pressure on Moscow through sanctions — throughout its conflict with Russia, the government in Kiev cannot be certain that the backing will continue uninterrupted. Unlike Moldova, Ukraine is unlikely to elect a pro-Russia leader, given the enduring conflict in eastern Ukraine. But the changing political circumstances in Europe and the United States could force the Ukrainian government to temper its position on the Minsk protocols and take a more conciliatory approach to negotiations with Russia over eastern Ukraine. In the meantime, Kiev may try to redouble its military integration with Poland and the Baltic states in case NATO members, in particular the United States, scale back their security presence in Central and Eastern Europe.
Former Soviet countries that were already firmly aligned with Russia will also take stock of their ties to Moscow and the West in light of the political changes afoot. Despite its long-standing military alliance with Russia, Belarus began slowly but surely warming to the West over the past year — a process that could now be stalled or even reversed. By contrast, Armenia came to question its steadfast loyalty to Russia when fighting with Azerbaijan over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region erupted anew in April. The feud escalated perhaps in part because Russia was too distracted at the time with the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine to intervene. If the West offers Moscow fewer challenges under new administrations in the United States and Europe, however, it will be in a better position to assert its authority as the dispute's primary arbiter.
Even countries that have stayed more or less neutral in the standoff between Russia and the West may adjust their stance. Russia recently held talks aimed at strengthening military cooperation with Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, former Soviet states that have increasingly looked to expand their relationship with Moscow in areas such as arms purchases and training. Moscow may also have a chance to reinvigorate integration initiatives such as the Eurasian Economic Union or the Collective Security Treaty Organization, since Europe's growing political rifts are likely to interfere with the European Union's focus on its Eastern Partnership program.
Over the next year, as a new administration takes over in Washington and the European Union's splits widen, Russia may seize the opportunity to regain influence in many of its borderland states. But its comeback in the former Soviet states will fall far short of the one it experienced in the late 2000s, when Russia's economy was thriving and its political system was free of the turmoil currently bedeviling it. Even if the West eases sanctions on Moscow in 2017, moreover, the United States and NATO are hardly likely to abandon their allies in Russia's periphery. Still, the political transformations underway in Europe and the United States could give Moscow more room to restore its standing throughout Eurasia.

Fluorinated Boroxin-Based Anion Receptors for Lithium Ion Batteries: Fluoride Anion Binding, Ab Initio Calculations, and Ionic Conductivity Studies

Prakash Reddy, Missouri University of Science and TechnologyFollow
Novel fluorinated boroxines, tris(2,6-difluorophenyl)boroxin (DF), tris(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)boroxin (TF), and tris(pentafluorophenyl)boroxin (PF), have been investigated for potential applications in lithium ion batteries through fluoride anion binding, ab initio calculations, and ionic conductivity measurements. Structures of the fluorinated boroxines and boroxin-fluoride complexes have been confirmed by comparing their 19F and 11B NMR chemical shifts with those obtained by the DFT-GIAO method. The stoichiometry of the fluoride anion binding to these boroxines has been shown to be 1:1 using 19F NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. UV-vis spectroscopic studies show the coexistence of more than one complex, in addition to the 1:1 complex, for perfluorinated boroxin, PF. DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-311G**) show that the fluoride ion complex of DF prefers unsymmetrical, covalently bound structure (7) over the symmetrically bridged species (10) by 12.5 kcal/mol. Rapid equilibration of the fluoride anion among the three borons in these boroxines results in a single 19F NMR absorption for all of the aromatic ortho-or para-fluorines at ambient temperature. The effect of these anion receptors on lithium ion conductivities was also explored for potential applications in dual ion intercalating lithium batteries.

Marta Andreasen, UKIP's Treasurer and a UKIP MEP for the South West euroregion, has resigned from her post as Treasurer after a falling out with Paul Nuttall, the party chairman.
Andreasen and Nuttall have apparently had a disagreement over the decision to double the salary of a party official. The NEC agreed to the salary increase and Nuttall awarded it in defiance of Andreasen's objections.
This is a tricky one because ultimately such decisions are down to the Chairman and the NEC but the money man (or woman in this case) generally gets a big say in the matter because there's money involved. I suspect there's more to it than a disagreement over money but I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing. It was positive to have Marta Andreasen as the party Treasurer with her sleaze-busting credentials but I commented at the time of the announcement she was standing as an MEP that I didn't see how she would be able to do the job of an MEP and the job of a Treasurer. Now she can concentrate on being an MEP and we can get a full-time Treasurer.
UKIP's enemies (of which there are many, especially in the LibLabCon-controlled media) will try to paint this as a damning endictment of UKIP and the party's finances but it's clear that Marta Andreasen has resigned as Treasurer, not from the party and because of a disagreement over money, not because she has uncovered fraud.
So who had their salary doubled. Was this a reward for something? For Marta to resign over this when so much depended on UKIP's financial probity leads one to ask the question.
Paul needs to backtrack on this and eat humble pie.
Not happy about this ,Nuttall needs to explain why it was so important to do this. We have lost an individual who added a lot to the reputation of the Party which has had enough dirt thrown at it over the years.
I agree that it's a blow to lose such a competent, high profile and feared (by corrupt europhiles) Treasurer but keep this in perspective, she's only resigned as Treasurer, not from the party or as an MEP. And at least now she can concentrate on one job rather than two.
Without knowing the background - who the employee in question is, how much they're getting paid and why Nuttall thinks they deserved the increase - it's impossible to tell whether the decision is right or wrong.
If Marta thought there was something amiss in UKIP she wouldn't still be with us.
Rumours abound that she won't be for long as a result of this.
She happily goes to the press so let's hope she doesn't leave the party completely.
I heard a similar rumour as well Bob but my source tells me that nobody knows yet, not even our illustrious leaders.

James Franco and Seth Rogen remake Kanye West's 'Bound 2' video – watch
Leonie Cooper Nov 25, 2013 8:27 pm GMT
Credit: Youtube
The parody video features a topless Rogen and is called 'Bound 3'
Actors James Franco and Seth Rogen have remade Kanye West's NSFW 'Bound 2' video, shot for shot.
Their deadpan version of the promo sees Franco playing West and Rogen taking on the role of his topless fiancee, Kim Kardashian. Like the original, the film features horses, waterfalls and eagles and sees Rogen writhing around naked, kissing Franco on a motorbike that is travelling through Utah's Monument Valley via a green screen effect. Click above to watch the parody, which is called 'Bound 3' and was shot during downtime on the Freaks and Geeks pair's new movie, The Interview.
Last week, Kanye West criticised US president Barack Obama for calling him a "jackass". Obama first used the word to describe West after he famously interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV VMA's in 2009, and used the term again in April last year when he admitted that he preferred Jay Z.
In a new interview, West admitted that Obama's criticism of him had summed up "how the world felt" at the time but went on to say: "I don't care if somebody the President or not. I care about thoughts, and how you helpin' people, and what you bring to the world. My music brings joy to people. What I create brings joy to people, and I'm about people. Me, I'm not about me. I'm about, 'I got an idea that people gonna like'."
West's 'Yeezus' tour is currently taking place in North America. His first solo tour in five years, it will run until December 23.

The Obscene Views of Avigdor Lieberman
by AKIVA ELDAR
The prevalent comparison between Avigdor Lieberman and Joerg Haider does an injustice to the Austrian nationalist whose party joined the government in the winter of 2000. Haider is far from being a righteous man, but even in his most fascist days, he never called on Austria to rid itself of citizens who'd been living in the country for generations. Also, Haider never suggested standing up legislators representing these citizens in front of a firing squad. Natan Meron, at the time Israel's ambassador to Austria, noted that once the leader of the Freedom Party joined politics, he never uttered a single anti-Semitic statement. Meron emphasized that the leader of the Freedom Party "does not threaten the Jews."
With the entry of his party into the coalition, Haider signed a declaration promising to abide by the European principles of democracy and human rights, and to protect the rights of minorities. Prior to that, he apologized to the Jewish people for his statements that downplayed the Nazi horrors.
What about Lieberman, then? Has he accepted the article in the government's basic guidelines that includes the commitment to "respect the civil rights of minorities and not accept any expression of racism in the country"?
Has anyone heard a word of qualification from the leader of Yisrael Beitenu about his party's political ideals, on the eve of joining the government?
He has not apologized to Israeli Arabs, nor disavowed his statements of incitement against Arab MKs. Even after having reached agreement with Ehud Olmert about his inclusion in the government, Lieberman has stuck to his obscene views. The day after the deal, he proudly announced to the press that he had "explained" to Javier Solana, the European Union foreign policy chief, that his plans "are more humane and detailed than any other plan on offer in Israel."
There is also no comparison between the response of the Austrian people to the inclusion of the Freedom Party in the coalition, and the tranquility with which the majority of the Israeli public has received Lieberman's appointment as deputy prime minister in charge of the most sensitive strategic issue. It is important to note that Haider himself stayed out of the government. In Israel, "peacemakers" like Amir Peretz, Ephraim Sneh, Eitan Cabel and Yitzhak Herzog went out of their way in their efforts to convince members of their party's central committee to allow them to bring into their home an extreme nationalist.
Shimon Peres, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, warned Austria at the time that the inclusion of Haider in the coalition will "ostracize it from the family of nations." Matan Vilnai, then minister of science, culture and sport, threatened to boycott the Austrian national soccer team. In response to the Freedom Party's inclusion of him in the coalition, then-prime minister Ehud Barak declared that Haider was persona non grata in Israel. Jewish organizations the world over competed over the intensity of their criticism of the Austrian government.
The growth of extremist parties on the right in Europe is worrying to Israel, and justifiably so. The rising popularity of nationalists such as Jean-Marie Le Pen in France, Vadim Tudor in Romania, Anto Djapic in Croatia and Christophe Blocher in Switzerland is disconcerting to world Jewry, and so it should be. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has barred Marine Le Pen, a member of the European Parliament and deputy in her father's National Front party, from entering the country. What will we say if European Union countries announce that the deputy prime minister is an unwanted personality in Europe?
The silence of the leadership of mainstream Jewry in the world, in view of the legitimization of a person such as Lieberman, undermines the moral high ground they hold in the struggle against Israel-haters throughout the world. If a Jewish politician who aspires to transfer an Arab minority across the border can sit in an Israeli cabinet, why should an anti-Semite not sit in an Austrian government? Let's hear it for the Haiders.

Michael will be the strongest hurricane to hit the continental US in more than a year

Carol Cathey spray paints the words 'Calm down Michael' on the plywood over her daughter's business in preparation for the arrival of Hurricane Michael on October 9, 2018 in Mexico Beach, Florida.

Hurricane Michael is bearing down on the Florida Panhandle with frightening fury.
The Category 4 storm is packing winds of 130 mph and may grow even fiercer before it makes landfall Wednesday, likely near Panama City Beach.
Photos: Hurricane Michael to slam US coast
In terms of wind intensity, that would make it stronger than Hurricane Florence, which had winds of 90 mph when it blew ashore in North Carolina last month.
Here are some other facts that show the power of this "monstrous storm."
Michael is expected to be the first Category 4 storm on record to make landfall in the Florida Panhandle.
It will also be the first major hurricane (Category 3 or above) to strike the Florida Panhandle since Hurricane Dennis in 2005.
Only three major hurricanes have made landfall in the Panhandle since 1950: Eloise in 1975, Opal in 1995 and Dennis in 2005. Michael will likely be the fourth.
Michael is expected to be the strongest hurricane, based on wind speeds, to make landfall in the continental US since Irma in September of last year.
The "forecast cone" for Michael (the storm's projected path) stretches from Florida all the way north to New Jersey.
About 28 million people are under a hurricane watch or warning, or tropical storm watch or warning, across six states (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina).
Michael is the seventh hurricane of the year in the Atlantic Basin. On average, the Atlantic has about five hurricanes by October 8.
The hurricane has undergone a period of "rapid intensification," defined as a 35 mph increase in sustained winds over a 24-hour period. Michael went from 40 mph on Sunday to 75 mph on Monday.
Florida has had more hurricanes in October than in any other month.

This article addresses a critical inflection point in the history of the long War on Terror: Israel's 1992 deportation of over four hundred Palestinians to the "no-man's-land" between Israel and Lebanon, and the camp that the deportees fashioned for the better part of one year to contest the legitimacy of Israeli colonialism and demand their return. The deportation—meant to incapacitate Islamic militant resistance to the US-brokered peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization—paradoxically provided the conditions of possibility for conversation and collaboration among attorneys, doctors, professors, university students, and imams, which had heretofore been highly restricted and regulated by Israel's carceral practices in the West Bank and Gaza. The deportees—those who in Giorgio Agamben's estimation had been literally abandoned in a zone of indistinction—engaged in a political practice of "habitational resistance," refusing their conversion into homines sacri by performing instead a mode of life that rendered multiple lines of transterritorial affiliation, self-assertion, and continuity. The deportees' published archive—poetry, photobooks, autoethnographies—is understood as a technology of mediation that operates beyond the bounds of the prevailing Islamophobic and orientalist frames while also addressing Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The case of the deportees thus illuminates the articulation of race, religion, and war as it rubs against the linkage between settler colonial dispossession and the Westphalian trinity of nation, state, and territory.


Do you struggle finding time for everything that is on your to-do list? You're not alone. According to a study conducted by Salary.com, 89 percent of respondents say they've wasted time at work. If you find that you get distracted easily by your social media accounts or just browsing the Web in general, you might need to spend your time more wisely. Here are a few ways to better manage your time at the office.
Learning how to manage your time is a process that requires tracking and adjustment. Think of your five biggest time wasters and write them down on a piece of paper. Start by trying to eliminate your biggest time waster for a week. Keep a tally of how many times you get distracted by your top time wasters each week and see if you make any progress.
Thinking in smaller chunks can help you feel less overwhelmed and help you accomplish more. Take a look at your to-do list and find your most pressing assignments. See if there are projects or tasks that you can ask someone in your department to help you complete.
If you are trying to hit a tight deadline and your office uses a messaging service like Skype, put it on do not disturb mode so you can power through your work. If you're doing this, work on a task for about 25 minutes, and then check your messages to make sure nothing urgent has come through.
While there are things that are urgent from time-to-time, having a set schedule will help you realize what can be accomplished. Set time limits for each task you do and move on if you're unable to finish it. For example, set a solid block of time to answer emails and inquiries, and set times to review projects. This will help you break up your day and might help prevent you from falling behind on other projects.

The Global Innovation Index (GII) is an annual ranking of countries by their capacity for, and success in, innovation. It is published by Cornell University, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization, in partnership with other organisations and institutions,:333 and is based on both subjective and objective data derived from several sources, including the International Telecommunication Union, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum.:203 The index was started in 2007 by INSEAD and World Business,:203 a British magazine. The GII is commonly used by corporate and government officials to compare countries by their level of innovation.
The GII is computed by taking a simple average of the scores in two sub-indices, the Innovation Input Index and Innovation Output Index, which are composed of five and two pillars respectively. Each of these pillars describe an attribute of innovation, and comprise up to five indicators, and their score is calculated by the weighted average method.

Critical role of gut microbiota in the production of biologically active, free catecholamines in the gut lumen of mice
Yasunari Asano, Tetsuya Hiramoto, Ryo Nishino, Yuji Aiba, Tae Kimura, Kazufumi Yoshihara, Yasuhiro Koga, Nobuyuki Sudo
There is increasing interest in the bidirectional communication between the mammalian host and prokaryotic cells. Catecholamines (CA), candidate molecules for such communication, are presumed to play an important role in the gut lumen; however, available evidence is limited because of the lack of actual data about luminal CA. This study evaluated luminal CA levels in the gastrointestinal tract and elucidated the involvement of gut microbiota in the generation of luminal CA by comparing the findings among specific pathogen-free mice (SPF-M), germ-free mice (GF-M), and gnotobiotic mice. Substantial levels of free dopamine and norepinephrine were identified in the gut lumen of SPF-M. The free CA levels in the gut lumen were lower in GF-M than in SPF-M. The majority of CA was a biologically active, free form in SPF-M, whereas it was a biologically inactive, conjugated form in GF-M. The association of GF-M with either Clostridium species or SPF fecal flora, both of which have abundant β-glucuronidase activity, resulted in the drastic elevation of free CA. The inoculation of E. coli strain into GF-M induced a substantial amount of free CA, but the inoculation of its mutant strain deficient in the β-glucuronidase gene did not. The intraluminal administration of DA increased colonic water absorption in an in vivo ligated loop model of SPF-M, thus suggesting that luminal DA plays a role as a proabsorptive modulator of water transport in the colon. These results indicate that gut microbiota play a critical role in the generation of free CA in the gut lumen.

Industry Meets Academic Research At The Park
The university-owned 'research park' proves to be a profitable land use model in Arizona, fostering much-needed technological collaboration.
May 13, 2003, 2pm PDT | Ambar Mukherjee
"Pharmaceutical giant Novartis remodeled a factory across the street from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's research park just to be close to the kind of people who could develop new products', said Bill Drohan, executive director of the Reston, Va.-based Association of University Research Parks.'That's the ripple effect. It's what everybody dies for.'"

Niaqornat (Kalaallisut: "head-shaped") (IATA: NIQ) is a settlement in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. The settlement is located on the northern coast of the Nuussuaq Peninsula, with a wide view over Uummannaq Fjord.[2] It had 58 inhabitants in 2010.[3]

1.3 Infrastructure

Fishing is the mainstay of the economy, with stocks of Atlantic cod, Greenland halibut and Greenland shark. A variety of mammal species are harvested: ringed seal, bearded seal, harp seal, hooded seal, and walrus. There is a seasonal catch of narwhal and beluga – on rare occasions pilot whales are caught. Capelin and fin whales have been observed at Niaqornat as late as in November in recent years. Like other settlements in northwestern Greenland, Niaqornat experiences the effects of global warming.[citation needed]
During spring a few polar bears are shot for meat. The catch includes reindeer,[verification needed] caribou, Arctic hare, grouse and various seabirds. Niaqornat represents a traditional hunting culture where both dog sleds and small dinghies are used during the hunting of the marine resources. The settlement is well situated for studies of narwhal, beluga, polar bear as well as other marine resources such as the ringed seal. Niaqornat is an example of a well functioning small settlement in which the inhabitants still live from harvesting the local living resources and it represents a continuation in modern times of the Greenlandic hunting culture. A fish factory was closed, but reopened as a co-operative in 2011.

Niaqornat only got electricity in 1988, however, the settlement is now able to communicate with the rest of the world via satellite and telephone and has access to the Internet. The settlement is in possession a 3 million litre water tank that supplies the settlement with fresh water from a lake in the mountain. There is also a community house where the inhabitants have access to a modern laundry and bath. The inhabitants have formed a local organisation that will work for attracting more tourists – especially from cruise ships. In 2007, the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources – which has its main office further south, in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland – established a field station in Niaqornat. In November 2007 there were nine pupils in the local school.
Main article: Niaqornat Heliport
Air Greenland serves the village as part of government contract, with mostly cargo helicopter flights from Niaqornat Heliport to the local hub in Uummannaq.[4] There are no direct flights to Qaarsut Airport located in Qaarsut, a village 37 km southwest of Niaqornat on the same shore of Nuussuaq Peninsula. All passengers must therefore transfer in Uummannaq Heliport.
The population of Niaqornat has dropped by nearly a third relative to the 1990 levels, and by nearly a quarter relative to the 2000 levels, reflecting a general trend in the region.[5] A November 2015 edition of National Geographic reported 50 inhabitants.[6]
