A New Year's Quiz
Published Jan. 2, 2019
The late, great William Safire had a wonderful New Year's tradition: treating his readers to a quiz on what to expect with the calendar flipped.
Mr. Safire was indeed a gem, as his surname suggested. To honor his memory, here's my (hopefully not-too-lame) attempt at things to ponder in what should be an eventful 2019.
On with the quiz . . .
1) The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished just shy of 25,000 at the close of 2017 and 300 points north of 23,000 in 2018 — overall, its biggest annual decline in over a decade. In 2019, the Dow will: a) commence a bull run that takes it past 25,000; b) continue the 2018 trend and drop precipitously; c) roughly break even for the year; d) show repeated volatility amidst political and economic uncertainty at home and abroad.
2) 2018 turned out to be the best year for GDP growth in America in over a decade (though there were troubling signs by year's-end). In 2019, GDP growth will: a) surpass 3%; b) be more in line with the 30-year average of 2.5%; c) fall somewhere between 2.5%-2.0%; d) pancake, fall below 2.0%.
3) In the finals weeks of 2018, the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller's special report supposedly was imminent. Assuming that report (or portions of it) materializes in 2019, its biggest finding will be: a) obstruction of justice by President Trump; b) coordination between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian agents; c) the need for more indictments of Trump insiders; d) anti-climax in the form of no evidence of Trump-Russian collaboration.
4) The most compelling foreign policy story in the new year: a) what comes next in Syria, should President Trump make good on his pledge to withdraw troops; b) the seeming contradiction of a lame-duck Angela Merkel pledging to get Germany more involved in world affairs; c) Vladimir Putin's intentions, including Russia's economic and military ploys in the direction of Venezuela; d) Trump's next moves in Central America, given the possibly of more migrant caravans; e) worsening of Sino-U.S relations, given 2018's spate of trade wars, tech espionage and Chinese military expansion.
5) President Trump finished 2018 with a 38% job approval rating among registered voters, down from 48% a year before (this, per The Economist/YouGov's weekly tracking poll). Trump's job approval at the end of 2019 will translate to: a) status quo (in the neighborhood of 40%); b) status enhanced (mid- to upper-40's); c) status diminished (lower-30's or worse).
6) In the "House of Cards" that is Washington politics, here's the best hand to be dealt in 2019: a) House Democrats and the ability to investigate the Trump Administration; b) Senate Republicans powering through judicial nominations; c) Democratic senators camping out in early-primary states; d) President Trump benefiting from partisan overreach (i.e., impeachment); 3) Democratic political consultancy, what with 15-20 possible presidential contenders.
7) The first prominent Trump Administration figure to step down in 2019 (here's a compilation of past departures, firings and resignations): a) Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin; b) Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross; c) White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow; d) whoever replaces "acting" White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney; e) First Daughter Ivanka Trump and/or First Son-in-Law Jared Kushner.
8) The most influential liberal/left-winger/socialist in 2019 will be: a) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; b) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, espouser of the Green New Deal; c) British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn; d) MSNBC's Rachel Maddow; e) New York Times/Washington Post newsrooms; f) Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
9) The Democratic presidential frontrunner a year from now will be: a) former Vice President Joseph Biden; b) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; c) Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren; d) California Sen. Kamala Harris; e) former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke; f) third-time candidate Hillary Clinton; g) none of the above.
10) The Republican most likely to mount a primary challenge to President Trump: a) former Ohio Gov. John Kasich; b) former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake; c) Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse; d) Utah Sen. Mitt Romney; e) conservative pundit Bill Kristol.
11) "And the Oscar (for Best Picture) goes to . . ." a) A Star Is Born; b) Black Panther; c) BlacKkKlansman; d) Bohemian Rhapsody; e) Green Book; f) If Beale Street Could Talk; g) Roma; h) Vice.
12) The most likely sports "dynasty" talk in 2019: a) Alabama's sixth college football title in the past decade; b) Golden State Warriors' fourth NBA title in five years; c) Yet another New England Super Bowl appearance (its ninth in the Brady-Belichick era); d) Real Madrid's continued soccer excellence (three straight Champions League titles); e) UConn's women's basketball juggernaut (vying for a record 12th NCAA title in 2019).
13) The faith-based storyline to watch in 2019: a) the Catholic Church coping with yet another "hellish" year; b) Germany's government wanting to force foreign state donors to make their financial contributions to German Muslim communities more transparent; c) "Mormon"/Mormonism" no longer stylistically acceptable; d) China cracking down on Christianity; e) Americans questioning whether faith can address societal problems.
14) The 2019 story over-told and oversold: a) Trump's tweets; b) climate change; c) civil discourse's breakdown; d) what Kate Middleton and Megan Markle think of each other; e) Facebook's inner workings and internal politics; f) a self-absorbed media talking about . . . how tough they have it in the Age of Trump.
15) America's "right track/wrong track" direction 12 months from now (the current Real Clear Politics Average being 36.8% "right", 55% "wrong" at present): a) more "right", less "wrong"; b) the opposite — less "right", more "wrong"; c) roughly the same as 2018. My choices: 1) d; 2) c; 3) c & d; 4) c & e; 5) c; 6) a & c; 7) a; 8) f (if her health worsens); 9) a; 10) a; 11) g; 12) a; 13) d; 14) f; 15) c

First Round of Banking Royal Commission Reveals Systemic Issues in the Banking Industry
By Peter O'Brien / April 5, 2018 April 5, 2018 / 3 minutes of reading
Customers are falling victim to the misconduct of banks with evidence being presented at the Banking Royal Commission (BRC) of fraudulent conduct, approval of inappropriate loans and excessive interest rates. The first round of public hearings have finished with the big four banks (NAB, Westpac, ANZ and CBA) being scrutinised by the Commission over its inappropriate behaviour.
The big banks get hammered in first round of BRC hearings
NAB's employee incentive scheme saw fraudulent conduct by its bankers making unsuitable loans, the dishonest use of customer signatures, and false documentation being provided to support loan applications. Even worse, staff in some branches accepted bribes to facilitate loans they knew were based on fraudulent documents. Whistleblowers called out the fraud, but the bank did not notify the regulator until months after they were required to.
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has also been criticised for its brokers fees and commissions for home loans and associated CBA insurance products that customers purchased. Brokers failed to clearly disclose upfront, on-going fees and incentives to stop people paying off their mortgages sooner. CBA was also under fire after they admitted to waiting two years before reporting a problem with their personal loan insurance program that affected over 20,000 customers.
ANZ have also been scrutinised with the bank failing to check customers' expenses before approving them for a home loan. Their car finance business, Esanda, was also found to have been undertaking dodgy practices before it was sold in October 2015. This included the inappropriate use of customer's financial information and increasing interest rates for better commissions.
It was found that Westpac also had its own dodgy practices. Similar to the other banks, the commissions attached to Westpac employees' approval of car loans has caused issues of inappropriate loans being made. It has also been found that the bank increased credit card limits without checking customer's current employment status.
Systemic change required in the banking industry
It is clear that there is a lack of accountability mechanisms and internal controls to manage potential conflicts of interest and the detection of fraud within banks. Commission based incentive programs have resulted in the approval of inappropriate loans and fraudulent conduct. Customers are falling victim to greedy banks with higher interest rates and the misuse of their personal information. It is only now that the banks have been caught out that they are apologetic and pledging to change their practices. It is unacceptable that this has been occurring on a consistent basis throughout all banks, and requires a systemic change to be made in the banking industry.
The findings during the Banking Royal Commission's first hearing indicate two key things. Firstly, commissions and employee incentives are a key contributor to misconduct. This needs to be regulated in some way. Customers should enquire about commissions and any associated fees before purchasing any banking services. Secondly, the industry regulator ASIC needs to implement proactive measures to monitor the practices of financial institutions. Many of the reported cases of misconduct were only made aware to the regulator years after, or even swept completely under the rug. They need to be prevented from occurring in the first place.
Next up on the Banking Royal Commission agenda is the financial planning and wealth management industry which will be investigated in the second round of public hearings that will commence in mid-April.

Drop off was hard, but we did it. We met two families for lunch earlier in a town near the camp and the boys had a chance to talk, fool around, and settle their nerves. Us adults sat, smiled at each other, and made small-talk. Some of the adults were veterans and a few of us were newbies.
At the camp we were too late to get a bottom bunk. We'd been early but not early enough. This doesn't seem like a big deal at first glance but M-ito was a little freaked out by the closeness of the tent roof to the bed and the challenge of getting up into the bunk without a ladder. He's never been in a bunk bed before.
Mom-ita came to the rescue. M-ito said it was okay, but I could tell it wasn't. He was holding himself together the best he could but this was unravelling him. Mom-ita set to work. M-ito and I went to get the mosquito netting while Mom-ita wrangled with the counselors to see how our son could end up on a bottom bunk. His tent was the only one with all four bottom bunks taken. He was the fifth one to arrive.
This kind of thing always happens to me when I travel. I get a room with a brick wall outside my window, or a dumpster, or soiled carpet of a suspicious nature, or my reservation is missing, or it was for the following week. Sometimes these things happen to M-ito too.
I didn't know what to answer. "Mom-ita will take care of it. Have faith," I said.
Two weeks of build-up was showing on his face. We sprinted a few times on the way to the store as if he needed to burn off something and leave it behind.
We got the netting and slogged back up the path to the tents of the 10-11 year olds. Mom-ita was at another tent talking to a new counselor. M-ito's things had been moved. "You're over here now," she said, "Bottom bunk." His friend had switched with him, bottom for top, tent for tent. This was his second year at the camp so he was a veteran and didn't mind.
We said goodbye and he ran off, leading a new boy who had the bunk above him whom he'd just met, to the camp store. I wanted to hold him a while, tell him I loved him again, but he needed to go.
I have a hollow space in the center of my chest. It's amazing how I could find a true smile as he left and feel such sadness at the same time.
Now it's time to look for his picture in the daily photo gallery. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
M-ito left yesterday for sleep away camp. We dropped him off in CT with two friends, a trunk, a day pack (mine and a personal favorite), some bedding, a mosquito net, and a sleeping bag. Right now I'm on my way to DC for the International AIDS Conference – the first time in my life that I've been able to go. Mom-ita is home with the dogs and the peace and quiet. That's one way to look at it.
I can hear my colleague from work saying, her voice a cigarette scarred growl, "That's pathetic. When I sent my two girls off to camp they were 7. I told them at the camp to just keep walking. Don't turn around. You're not coming back with us so don't even think about it." This makes me smile. She is tough as nails and she loves her girls, but she is not me. I've got my own issues. I worry.
M-ito is ten. He's also our only child. Maybe I do need to toughen up, just a little.
"I wonder what he's doing now?

Obituary: Jacques Canetti
James Kirkup
Tuesday 10 June 1997 23:02
Marlene Dietrich had always refused to cut a record in French, until she had the good luck to encounter in Paris a great discoverer of musical talents, Jacques Canetti.
He was a younger brother of Elias Canetti, the Nobel prizewinner for literature in 1981. But while Elias went on to to make a name as a writer in Austria, Germany and Britain, Jacques made his way from their home- town, Ruse in Bulgaria, to Paris, where he specialised in German studies at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales. After graduation, he entered the recording company Polydor in 1931, where he began by sticking "labels with a hole" on the records, a task requiring more delicate precision than might at first be supposed.
It was while engaged on this humble task that he met Dietrich and charmed her into making her first record entirely in French. He was promoted, organised sessions of le jazz-hot on the radio, and produced the first concerts by Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong in Paris. But he also directed the recordings for Ravel's Quatuor and Alban Berg's Suite Lyrique by the string quartet Galimir.
In 1936 Canetti became artistic director at Radio-Cite, determined to promote both classical music and jazz. His popular programme Le Music- hall des Jeunes was the first audience-participation venture on French radio, in which young talents were displayed and listeners were encouraged to phone in their votes for the best artist.
Canetti's first discovery in this way was Agnes Capri, a pupil of both Charles Dullin at the Atelier and of the Schola Cantorum. The switchboard was flooded when Edith Piaf made her first transmission. He signed her up, and followed her with Charles Trenet and Lucienne Delyle, later famous for her nostalgic Parisian chansons like "Sur les quais du vieux Paris".
Canetti's enthusiasm for hot jazz as well as chanson led him to start writing for the British weekly the Melody Maker and to organise tours of Hot Jazz stars all over the United Kingdom. It was he who first introduced to Europe Cab Calloway and all the leading jazz instrumentalists and singers of the pre-war period. He became known as the Impresario of the Immortals.
With the outbreak of war, Jacques Canetti became director of programmes at Radio-France Alger, and formed his first company of actors and chanson singers that toured all over North Africa and the Middle East.
Among his stars were the great actress Francoise Rosay and the comedian Pierre Dac. On his return to France in 1947, he started the Theatre des Trois Baudets, a celebrated launching-pad for young singers in Pigalle. He began to specialise in the direction of "author-composer-interpreter" performances, most of them signed up by him for Polydor-Philips, of which he became artistic director.
It was at Les Trois Baudets that I heard my first chanson stars in the late 1940s - Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg, Juliette Greco, Guy Beart, Jacqueline Francois, Felix Leclerc from Canada. Other now-familiar names who appeared in that cabaret before it closed down, to my chagrin, in 1960, were Leo Ferre, Les Freres Jacques, Michel Legrand, Mouloudji and Henri Salvador.
Canetti appears in books by or about some of these artists - in Juliette Greco's third- person autobiography Jujube, in Philippe Boggio's immense biography of Boris Vian, in Jackie Berroyer's Rock 'n' Roll et chocolat blanc (with a richly eccentric portrait of the maverick Jacques Higelin, whose 12 Chansons d'avant le deluge was produced by Canetti) and many others.
Canetti, volatile and hyperactive, found he could no longer bear the restraints of Polydor and Philips, so he set up his own recording company in 1963, for which he produced Jeanne Moreau's first records, and the early work of Serge Reggiani, who is still making the best of an almost extinct voice on Pascal Sevran's afternoon television show La Chance aux Chansons, in films directed by his son, and in all the leading music-halls of France.
Canetti founded his Disques Canetti in order to accommodate such unclassifiable artists of the chanson as Simone Signoret and Boris Vian. He had an uncanny flair for detecting hidden talent, and, once discovered, he never let them down. Cora Vaucaire said of him: "He never treated artists as if they were consumer products." He encouraged them to develop their gifts and personalities, and consoled them when they flopped or had stage-fright. He also managed the careers of Maurice Chevalier and Yves Montand, organising highly successful tours for them both in France and abroad.
His memoirs, On cherche jeune homme aimant la musique (1978), are full of fascinating stories about the famous, and his "discoveries" have been enshrined in two recent CDs devoted to chanson and comedy. One of his stars, Guy Beart, paid homage to his impresario thus: "In the field of the chanson, he merited the same honours as his brother had won for literature."
Certainly many of the songs promoted by Jacques Canetti have become immortal standards of the French - and the international - musical scene.
Jacques Canetti, musical director and impresario: born Ruse, Bulgaria 30 May 1909; died Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine), France 7 June 1997.

With its record-breaking light weight of under 1,500kg, the BMW M4 Coupé has been designed to make the impossible possible. The car is equipped with the brand new 431hp M TwinPower Turbo straight six-cylinder petrol engine with seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic. It also features precision technologies like the M Servotronic, Active M Differential and Adaptive M suspension – creating a seamless connection between driver and machine.
The power of the BMW M4 Coupé is evident in every detail. Striking air inlets in the front cool the M drivetrain during its high-performance journeys. The muscular powerdome delineates the contours of the turbocharger engine. The extended bonnet is the beginning of an athletic coupé line that exudes pure sportiness. The Aero Curtain and Air Breather offer added aerodynamics. Just like the M kidney grille with double slats, M side gills, M exterior mirrors or the M quad tailpipe, they visually underline the dynamic appearance of the BMW M4 Coupé.
In the vehicle's interior, the redeveloped M seats with their shell shape and illuminated M logo give the driver and front passenger total comfort and security. They offer perfect side stability, and their clever use of ergonomics enables a direct connection between driver and vehicle. All control elements in the cockpit are orientated around the driver and guarantee highly precise operation in split seconds. The round instrument display creates a racing-car look, then the M leather steering wheel and M gear shift lever complete the package.


It won't look like your average convenience store.
In case you missed the festivities earlier this week, Thursday, April 12 was Wawa Day, the regional convenience store's anniversary celebration during which customers can snag a free cup of coffee. In addition to the usual promotion, Wawa took its 54th birthday a bit further by hiding a secret menu in its in-store touchscreen kiosks. What was on it? Birthday cake-flavored shakes and smoothies, of course. But that wasn't the only trick Wawa had up its sleeve for the big day. Wawa used the occasion to make a big announcement: The world's largest Wawa is coming to Philadelphia.
The new location will located at the corner of 6th Street and Chestnut Street in Independence Mall inside the Public Ledger Building "nestled in Philadelphia's historic district," according to information provided by Wawa. It's a fitting place for the largest location, as the City of Brotherly Love is also Wawa's hometown. According to a statement from Wawa, the space will tie together industrial and art deco design elements along with living greenery and video screens, provide cafe and couch-style seating, and feature a mural project that reflects the city's personality. The total size of the store? 11,300 square feet.
In addition to packaged food and drinks, the store will offer an "extensive food service selection" ranging from "signature hoagies and made-just-for-you specialty beverages, to some of Wawa's newest offers including customer salads and new signature coffee blends." A spokesperson for Wawa says the new store will open by the end of this year.
The current largest Wawa in the world sits at 111 19th St. NW in Washington D.C. and sports 9,200 square feet of floor space. Once it's eclipsed by the new Philly location, it's reign as the biggest store in the chain will have been a short-lived one—the downtown D.C. location just opened in December of 2017 with much fanfare and a line out the door.
If that opening was any indication, the new Philadelphia Wawa should be making headlines, or at least social media timelines, by the end of this year.

How do I see the results of a Workflow?
How do I stop a Workflow?
Choose the targets for your workflow - which accounts or records will be affected?
Determine the resultant action(s) - what will happen to the targets when the workflow is triggered?
To get started, go to your main Workflows page and click New Workflow.
You can then give your Workflow a name and a short description explaining what it does.
Next, specify what will trigger your workflow to start running.
An Event is the creation of a single record in your database: an account, a donation, a pledge, an event registration, a membership, a volunteer application, a fundraising page, or a recurring donation schedule.
Selecting one of these will cause your Workflow to start running as soon as the specified event is successfully completed.
Note: Imported accounts and transactions will not trigger an Event workflow.
The start of an event, campaign or volunteer project, the close date set for event registrations, or a fixed date on the calendar.
With this type of trigger, you will also be required to specify the relation of your trigger date to the date specified: whether it should be the same day, or some number of days before or afterward.
This type of trigger will run periodic searches of your database to find newly qualified accounts to add to your Workflow. With this type of trigger, you are essentially choosing the target accounts in this first step; the "Targets" step will be fixed once you set your condition and you'll be skipped directly to Step 3. See below for an example.
In this step, you will choose the target group of records that will be affected by your new Workflow.
You may be offered an option to add all records in your Trigger category to your Workflow. Or, you can filter the list of qualifying records by a select list of criteria.
Specify your criteria (if any) and click Select Targets.
Now, you will need to add at least one Action to the Workflow. This will tell your Workflow what to do when the trigger is activated.
Tip: You can add up to 15 Actions to a single workflow.
The list of available actions may vary depending on the type of trigger and/or target group you've chosen. Choose the action that fits what you'd like to happen when the workflow is triggered.
In this case, we've chosen to send a personal thank you email from the ED for any donation of $100 or more, to be sent in addition to the standard acknowledgment.
Once you've added at least one Action to your Workflow, you will then be able to test, save and activate it.
Once your workflow is saved, you can now click the Settings button to add Start and End Dates for the workflow to run.
You can test your Workflow before you activate it by clicking the Test Workflow button at the top of the Workflow detail page.
You will then be asked to specify the account on which you wish to test this workflow. We recommend that you use a designated testing account for this purpose.
If necessary, you will also be asked to choose the specific record on the account that will be used as the trigger and/or target for this test.
Notice that the record that I've selected to test this "$100+ Donation" Workflow does not fit the set requirements. That's okay; the Workflow will be immediately triggered and all actions executed regardless of target criteria or time delays. You do not have to add new records to your system just for the purpose of testing your Workflows.
Once you are satisfied that your Workflow is running as intended, you can toggle the status of the Workflow to Active to make it live.

Bread Shortages In Sudan Mark A Fragile Period For The Country's Government
By Eyder Peralta
Published January 2, 2021 at 7:53 AM EST
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
A couple of years ago, the price of bread doubled in Sudan. That's led to mass protests and the ouster of the longtime leader Omar al-Bashir. Sudan's now in the middle of a fragile transition as it navigates towards a civilian government and democratic elections. And once again, people are looking at the price of bread, as NPR's Eyder Peralta reports.
EYDER PERALTA, BYLINE: This neighborhood in Khartoum was the epicenter of protests during the uprising in 2019. On a recent weekday, it's mostly quiet, but there are a couple dozen people crowded around a bakery. Imadaddin Taja is 70 years old, and he's been here since 8 in the morning.
IMADADDIN TAJA: I need only five breads. I am waiting here for five hours.
PERALTA: Five hours?
TAJA: Yes.
PERALTA: Taja has lived through periods of war, military coups, through three decades of Islamist rule. But he says nothing compares to what's happening now.
Is it only bread, or is it everything?
TAJA: Everything. In Sudan, we are suffering.
PERALTA: In Sudan, we are suffering, he says. They can't get fuel. Hospitals and even vegetables have become too expensive. The price of bread has doubled. But as we talk, a baker finally hands Taja five baguettes.
You've got your bread.
TAJA: You see this bread?
PERALTA: Yeah.
TAJA: This is not for a human being.
PERALTA: There is so little wheat in the country that the flour to make bread is mixed with sorghum. Sudanese eat flat bread - soft, puffy goodness that almost tastes buttery. But you can't make flat bread out of this wheat and sorghum mix.
(SOUNDBITE OF PROTEST)
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTERS: (Chanting in non-English language).
PERALTA: Back in December of 2018, the government of Omar al-Bashir was facing a huge budget shortfall, so they cut the subsidies on bread and the price doubled. Sudanese took to the streets to call for his ouster.
PERALTA: By the spring of 2019, Bashir was gone. And Sudan began a transition into a more democratic and a more secular country. It was a moment of great expectations. But one thing did not change.
KHALID ALI: The government is broke, essentially. There is no money - right? - because we are not exporting anything. We are not producing anything.
PERALTA: That is political analyst Khalid Ali. He says this transitional government has plugged the budget shortfall by printing money. And that has triggered massive inflation. It means workers can't afford basics with their salary. It means imports have become expensive or nonexistent.
ALI: People are finding it more difficult to get by on a day-by-day basis.
PERALTA: Protesters have once again taken to the streets. But they have stopped short of calling for the ouster of the government. Ali says that's because unlike when Bashir was in power, Sudanese right now have hope that things can change.
ALI: If it wasn't for that glimpse of hope, our life would be really difficult here. It would be really, really difficult.
PERALTA: Back at the bakery, the owner, Hamid Zaid Abdulrahim, gives me a short tour.
HAMID ZAID ABDULRAHIM: (Speaking Arabic).
PERALTA: "In the good days," he says, "these shelves would be totally full of pillowy flat bread."
Is this the best bread in the neighborhood?
ABDULRAHIM: (Speaking Arabic).
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: He said he used to be the best, but now he's not.
PERALTA: So what happened?
PERALTA: It's the ingredients, Abdulrahim says. Like everyone in Sudan these days, he's just trying to make the best out of what he's been handed.

Muhammad al-Maghout (1934–April 3, 2006) () was a renowned Syrian writer and poet.

He was born in the town of Salamiyah of Hama Governorate in Syria to an Isma'ili family. He was married to the poet Saniya Salih.

Muhammad Maghout was credited as the father of the Arabic free verse poetry, liberating the Arabic poems from the traditional form and revolutionizing the structure of the poem.
He penned his first poems on cigarette papers while in prison in the 1950s, he wrote it as his personal memoir of the prison experience later to be discovered as revolutionary poetry. Without formal education, he tapped into his vivid imagination, innate mastery of words and intuition in his future work.
He wrote for theater, TV and cinema. Maghout's work combined satire with descriptions of social misery and malaise, and what he viewed as an ethical decline among rulers in the region. Some of his themes included the problems of injustice and totalitarian governments. The struggles of the marginalized was at the heart of all his work. His first theatrical production " The Hunchback bird" was originally a long poem that he wrote while in hiding in a small low ceiling room. A dialogue emerged within the poem transforming it to his first theatrical production. This was followed by another play "The Clown" played by the renowned lebanese actor Antoin Kerbaj. He co-operated with Syrian actors Dureid Lahham and Nihad Qal'i to produce some of the region's most popular and acclaimed theatrical works, such as Kasak ya Watan (Toast to the homeland) and Ghorbeh (Estrangement) and "Dayat Tishreen" (October's Village).

Al-Maghout was also known for his book "I will betray my homeland", a collection of columns concerned with the dream of freedom.

Al-Maghout died at the age of 72 in April 2006.

For centuries, all over the world, scrapbooks have been the most immediate and popular form of visual diary. In Northern Ireland, scrapbooks from the late 1960s through the early 1990s reflected "The Troubles," the regional conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Inspired by these highly individual collaged records of daily life--albums full of newspaper clippings, family photos and personal mementos--acclaimed Belfast-born photographer and filmmaker Donovan Wylie, in collaboration with cultural historian Timothy Prus, has created a non-sectarian version of these scrapbooks, with the benefit of hindsight, that recounts Wylie's own experience of growing up in Belfast in the 70s and 80s, as the son of a mixed marriage (his mother a Catholic, his father a Protestant), during a period when identification with one side of the religious divide was a presumed and sometimes deadly aspect of everyday life.

O fluxo da consciência é uma metáfora que descreve como os pensamentos parecem fluir através da mente consciente. Pesquisas demonstraram que apenas experimentamos um evento mental de cada vez como um fluxo mental veloz. O termo foi cunhado por Alexander Bain, em 1855, na primeira edição de The Senses and the Intellect, quando ele escreveu: "A simultaneidade de sensações em um fluxo de consciência comum (na mesma via cerebral) permite associar aquelas de diferentes sentidos tão prontamente quanto as sensações do mesmo sentido" (p. 359). O termo apareceu também descrito por George Henry Lewes, mas é William James, considerado o pai da psicologia americana, que é frequentemente creditado como tendo conceituado o uso moderno de "fluxo de consciência" em seu Os Princípios de Psicologia de 1890. A gama completa de pensamentos — dos quais se pode estar consciente — pode formar o conteúdo desse fluxo.

Budismo
Escrituras budistas iniciais descrevem o "fluxo da consciência" (páli; viññāna-sota), onde é chamado de corrente mental. A prática da atenção plena, que consiste em estar consciente momento a momento da própria experiência consciente subjetiva ajuda a experimentar diretamente o "fluxo da consciência" e a cultivar gradualmente o autoconhecimento e a sabedoria. Os ensinamentos budistas descrevem o fluxo contínuo da "corrente de eventos mentais e materiais" que inclui experiências sensoriais (isto é, ver, ouvir, cheirar, degustar, sensações de toque ou um pensamento relacionado ao passado, presente ou futuro), bem como vários eventos mentais gerados, a saber, sentimentos, percepções e intenções/comportamentos. Esses eventos mentais também são descritos como influenciados por outros fatores, como apegos e condicionamentos passados. Além disso, a manifestação momento a momento da "corrente da consciência" é descrita como sendo afetada por leis físicas, leis biológicas, leis psicológicas, leis volitivas e leis universais.

Proponentes
Em suas palestras, por volta de 1838 a 1839, Sir William Hamilton, 9º Baronete, descreveu o "pensamento" como "uma série de atos indissoluvelmente conectados"; isso ocorre por causa do que ele afirmou ser uma quarta "lei do pensamento" conhecida como "lei da razão e consequente" :

 "O significado lógico da lei da Razão e Consequente reside nisso: - que, em virtude dela, o pensamento é constituído por uma série de atos, todos indissoluvelmente conectados; cada um necessariamente inferindo o outro" (Hamilton 1860: 61-62).

Nesse contexto, as palavras "necessariamente inferir" são sinônimos de "implicar". Em uma discussão mais aprofundada, Hamilton identificou "a lei" com modus ponens; assim, o ato de "necessariamente inferir" destaca o consequente com o objetivo de se tornar o antecedente (próximo) de uma "cadeia" de inferências conectadas.

William James afirma a noção da seguinte maneira:

 "A consciência, então, não parece cortada em pedaços. Palavras como "cadeia" ou "trem" não a descrevem adequadamente, já que se apresentaria em primeira instância. Não é nada articulado; ela flui. Um 'rio' ou um 'córrego' são as metáforas pelas quais é mais naturalmente descrita. Ao falar sobre isso daqui em diante, chamemos de fluxo de pensamento, de consciência ou de vida subjetiva. (James 1890: 239)

Ele era extremamente cético em relação ao uso da introspecção como uma técnica para entender o fluxo da consciência. "A tentativa de análise introspectiva nesses casos é como pegar um pião para captar seu movimento ou tentar ligar o gás [da lâmpada de luz] rápido o suficiente para ver como a escuridão se parece". No entanto, a separação epistemológica de dois níveis de análise parece ser importante para entender sistematicamente o "fluxo de consciência".

Bernard Baars desenvolveu a Teoria do Espaço de Trabalho Global, que tem alguma semelhança com o fluxo da consciência.

A compreensão conceitual do que se entende por "momento presente", "passado" e "futuro" pode ajudar a entender sistematicamente o "fluxo de consciência".

Crítica
Susan Blackmore desafiou o conceito de fluxo de consciência. "Quando digo que a consciência é uma ilusão, não quero dizer que a consciência não exista. Quero dizer que a consciência não é o que parece ser. Se parece ser um fluxo contínuo de experiências ricas e detalhadas, acontecendo uma após a outra a uma pessoa consciente, essa é a ilusão". No entanto, ela também diz que uma boa maneira de observar o "fluxo da consciência" pode ser acalmar a mente na meditação. Também foram feitas sugestões sobre a importância de separar "dois níveis de análise" ao tentar entender o "fluxo de consciência".

Técnica literária

Na literatura, a escrita do fluxo da consciência é um dispositivo literário que busca retratar o ponto de vista de um indivíduo, dando o equivalente escrito aos processos de pensamento do personagem, seja em um monólogo interior frouxo ou em conexão com suas reações sensoriais a ocorrências externas. O fluxo de consciência como dispositivo narrativo está fortemente associado ao movimento modernista. O termo foi aplicado pela primeira vez em um contexto literário, transferido da psicologia, em The Egoist, em abril de 1918, por May Sinclair, em relação aos primeiros volumes da sequência de romance Pilgrimage de Dorothy Richardson. Entre outros romancistas modernistas que o usaram estão James Joyce em Ulysses (1922) e William Faulkner em The Sound and the Fury (1929).

Q: Обратная связи от функций обработки файлов c? Задача - реализовать проверку на каждом этапе работы с файлом. Получается только самый банальный пример f((fp=fopen("test", "w")) == NULL)
А вот чтение, запись проверить не получается. В первую очередь непонятно, какие из этих функций вроде fwrite(), fputs(), fprintf()... Использовать для этого.
Все они возвращают какое-то значение. Можно ли его записать в переменную и какого типа она должна быть?

A: Каждая функция описана в стандарте - что она принимает, что возвращает. Например, fwrite - количество успешно записанных объектов, fputs - неотрицательное значение при успешной работе, и так далее.
Так что вы должны отталкиваться не от того, какие функции использовать для проверки, а какие функции нужны в вашей программе. А уже потом выполнять проверку, соответствующую выбранной функции. Типа
int rc = fputs("String",file);
if (rc == EOF) // Обработка ошибки

Так что еще раз - при выборе функций отталкивайтесь от необходимой в программе функциональности. Дальше - проверяйте, что именно функция возвращает, а что это означает - успех или неудачу - смотрите в документации..

Arun Jaitley: A man who played many roles
The former Minister wore many hats in public life — politician, lawyer, cricket administrator, raconteur and the quintessential Delhi insider.
August 24, 2019 12:56 pm | Updated December 04, 2021 11:52 pm IST - NEW DELHI
Nistula Hebbar
Arun Jaitley. Illustration: R. Rajesh
Former Union Minister Arun Jaitley died on August 24, 2019 after a period of illness. He was 66.
The former Minister wore many hats in public life — politician, lawyer, cricket administrator, raconteur and the quintessential Delhi insider — who loved to hold court in banter and good humour with his legion of friends and acquaintances. For his party, the BJP, he was the man who articulated the party line best, in both Hindi and English, the rather affable public face of the party.
His stints at various Ministries, in both late Prime Minister Vajpayee's government and Narendra Modi's government saw him as a dependable colleague. For many who knew him personally, his warmth in inter personal interactions across party lines and his many, now legendary stories and on dits about the who's who of Lutyen's Delhi marked him out as a social force quite apart from his political heft.
Watch | Remembering Arun Jaitley, the affable public face of the BJP
Mr. Jaitley, shot to fame during the struggle against the Emergency in 1975, having been elected president of the Delhi University Student's Union in 1974 (as a member of the RSS affiliated student body Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad), and was one of the first to have been arrested (he stayed in jail for 19 months) as part of the crackdown against political activists. He joined the BJP in 1980.
His early career in the BJP was a steady rise, including an amalgamation of his legal career with his political one, where, in 1989, he was appointed Additional Solicitor General by the V.P. Singh government and did much of the paper work for the legal case on Bofors. He held many important portfolios in the Vajpayee government from 1999, including that of law and justice, shipping, information and broadcasting and commerce and industry.
Tributes pour in for Arun Jaitley | Modi pays emotional tribute to "dear friend" Arun
Under the Modi government too, he held as many portfolios including finance, defence, corporate affairs and information and broadcasting, although he lost the only Lok Sabha poll he ever contested, from Amristar, in 2014. As Finance Minister, his achievements include the implementation and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. He was also at the helm when the controversial decision to demonetise high value currency notes was taken in November 2016.
Arun Jaitley. File
His popularity however, was never as high as when he was spokesperson for the BJP from 2002 (along with being general secretary) and his briefings to the media and setting down of the party line for every major issue continued till the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Among the most repeated stories by him was the advice he was tendered by Delhi's then Chief Executive Councillor Jag Pravesh Chandra in the 1980s. He told a young Jaitley, whom he had taken a liking to, to never set down any difference of opinion with his own party in writing, no angry letters, or written sulks. He said that it only proved that one's opinion was not taken seriously in one's own party, something Mr. Jaitley said he followed to a tee.
Arun Jaitley, India's former Minister of Finance, died on August 24 after prolonged illness. He was 66 years old.
Arun Jaitley's parents migrated to Delhi from Lahore. His father, Maharaj Kishen Jaitley, was a lawyer. His mother, Ratan Prabha, was a homemaker who devoted her free time to social work. He has two elder sisters.
The veteran leader's political life and legal career spanned more than 40 years. In this photo, Arun Jaitley is sworn in as a Cabinet Minister by President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in New Delhi on January 29, 2003.
A senior member of the BJP, Arun Jaitley was the Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs between 2014 and 2019 under the prime ministership of Narendra Modi.
He also served as the Minister of Defence in 2014 and 2017 as also the Minister of Information and Broadcasting from 2014 to 2016.
While he was the Finance Minister, key decisions such as demonetisation, launch of the GST and introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code were taken.
He held the portfolios of Commerce and Industry, Law and Justice, and Information and Broadcasting in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government.
He joined the BJP in 1980, strategising and taking on important party roles. He became the national spokesperson of the party.
Arun Jaitley was the Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha in 2009, when Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister.
In this 2012 picture, Arun Jaitley is seen with the then Union Minister for Commerce and Textiles Anand Sharma. In his capacity as Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Jaitley made vital contributions in discussions on the Women Reservation Bill and supported the Jan Lokpal Bill. Regarding disruptions in Parliament, he said, "There are occasions when obstruction in Parliament brings greater benefits to the country."
He contested the 2014 elections from Amritsar, but lost to Congress' Amarinder Singh. He was a Member of Parliament of Rajya Sabha for Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.
Arun Jaitley graduated in commerce from Shri Ram College of Commerce, New Delhi. He was a law graduate from the University of Delhi. Arun Jaitleyis seen in this picture leading the Delhi University Students' Union election campaign in August 1974. He went on to become the DUSU president.
He was an Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) student activist during his college years.
Arun Jaitley prominently took part in the movement launched by Raj Narain and Jayaprakash Narayan in 1973 against corruption.
He was under preventive detention for a period of 19 months when Emergency was proclaimed in the country, during 1975-77.
In 1977, he was national convener of the Loktantric Yuva Morcha, which campaigned for the Janata Party in the 1977 General elections. His work earned him the Delhi ABVP president post. He was later made the All India Secretary of the ABVP.
Jaitley started his legal practice from 1977. He was designated as a Senior Advocate by the Delhi High Court in 1990.
He was appointed Additional Solicitor General by the V.P. Singh government. In the photo, Arun Jaitley is seen with former Solicitor General of India Ranjit Kumar and former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi at Lodhi Garden in New Delhi.
Arun Jaitley is seen with Pakistan Ambassador to India Aziz Ahmad Khan, inspecting the Feroz Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi. Jaitley was the vice-president of the BCCI from the North Zone. He was also the president of the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) between 1999 and 2012.
Jaitley has been ailing for a while. He could not present the 2018-19 Union Budget and the 2019-20 Interim Budget due to poor health. He did not contest the Lok Sabha elections 2019 for the same reason.
He was hospitalised at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi last week.
Arun Jaitley is survived by his wife and children. Jaitley married Sangeeta Dogra, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir finance minister Girdhari Lal Dogra, in 1982. Their children, Rohan and Sonali, are both lawyers.
The years Mr. Jaitley spent as Leader of the Opposition (between 2009-2014) were not only important in his emergence as a good orator and an important mover behind the women's reservation and Lokpal Bills, but also championed the cause of now Mr. Modi in Delhi. Mr. Jaitley was the man with the inside view, having done his schooling (St. Xaviers)and higher education (Sriram College of Commerce and Law Faculty, Delhi University) in Delhi. His ability to make friends across the aisle was legendary as were his bon mots and witticisms. He is survived by his wife Sangita, son Rohan and daughter Sonali.

There were three of us in this marriage – another family saga
I recently watched the movie 'Diana'.
In this movie they showed, again, parts of Princess Diana's famous interview to the BBC after her separation from Prince Charles.
"There were three of us in this marriage" she said.
I was struck by the power of this simple statement.
I was wondering whether Diana was aware of the systemic implication when she said this.
If only Charles and Diana would have come to me for an OCEAN session!
You see, when in a marriage where one partner is longing for a previous love that is unresolved, that marriage can't work.
He or she can't be fully present in a subsequent relationship, no matter how much they try.
A love that is not resolved, stays. No amount of external pressure can change this.
No amount of effort by the new partner can change this.
Everybody suffers – including the children.
Often, one of them unconsciously tries to replace that lost love in the hope to re-establish balance.
This, of course, doesn't work and has a ripple effect throughout subsequent generations.
Again, a family saga – good fodder for an epic novel, but not really life affirming.
I see this over and over in my work.
It's a systemic issue.
The good news is, however, it can be healed.
One way is to bring it out into the open and resolve it, as was the case in the story of Diana, Charles and Camilla.
However, that's not always possible. Members of subsequent generations feel the effects limiting their life quality.
In such cases, OCEAN or a Family Constellation can help.
A balance can be re-established with this process through acknowledging what was.
So, if you feel something is not quite right in your life, however hard you try, it might be such a systemic issue.
You see when your emotions don't make sense, this often points towards a systemic imbalance.
You have taken on something that is not yours – you are trying to establish a balance that is not yours to do.
If this is the case, you may want to try out an OCEAN session to help heal this dynamic so it doesn't get repeated over future generations.
Please contact me to make an appointment.

Do not ride at high speed!
@OneDan that's kind of concerning, considering this is their forum.
Typically they only post for news and announcements. I'm guessing they don't staff to support the OW forum... Facebook groups are extremely active as is Reddit for OW stuff.
@skyman88 Can you fill me in on regen shut-offs? First I've heard of that one.
@scrapdo Battery regen-recharges when braking downhill (and it's ALWAYS braking somewhat, unless you are going full tilt straight downhill like a madman).
BUT, battery can't be charged past 100% - that'd wreck the battery. So, if battery is at 100% and you try to go downhill, board won't - it shuts off, to protect the battery. You need to go uphill a bit and drain the battery down a little first.
@Glyph that's a serious design flaw. And a dangerous one. If that is really present it needs to be eliminated. Regenerative breaking should not be shutting off the motor once 100% is achieved. It should have some algrythm to simply stop any additional charge to be applied until 2% is lost.
@causticgrip You'd think. I'm not sure why that's not the way it works. The board's external charger is smart enough to "know" once the battery's full (the LED turns green) so it doesn't seem like that big of a technical challenge to me, but what do I know? I live somewhere pretty flat, so it's never an issue for me.
@Glyph @causticgrip The onewheel doesn't have normal brakes, so it has to use regenerative braking. When it does that, it has to store the power somewhere. If it doesn't it could overheat. This means you either just have to not be at 100% when going down a hill, or your board overheats and shuts off anyway. Either way the board would shutoff eventually.
The difference between the charger and regenerative braking is the charger just stops producing power. Whereas the regenerative braking continues to generate power because the rider decides to keep going down a hill.
See other comments... it's also in the manual.
There are some eskates that have load resistors so the excess regen power can be sent to the resistors when the battery is full.
I live with a downhill start on my daily commute so never charge above 98% to avoid it. Its really not a big deal once you read the manual to understand the limits and warnings from FM.
For me load resistors would just add weight and complexity to protect for a scenario which only occurs for a very short duration of any ride. I like FM's approach to keep it simple.
@stinkyface If they don't add a LOT of weight, it could be worth it. The board's already damn near thirty pounds. But if it's any more than a few ounces, or if there is no place to put them, or if adding them makes the board's systems much more complex and prone to issues, I agree with you, not worth it (to me, a guy who lives in a flat city).


Growing up Lebanese-American, I was always faced with the challenge of intertwining two very different cultures. My parents wanted my siblings to learn dabkeh while my friends blasted backstreet boys. My parents insisted on making me labneh sandwiches for lunch, while all my friends enjoyed their grilled cheese on perfectly toasted toast. I was envious of their lunches, to say the least.
As I enter my almost late twenties, I have slowly…and I mean slowly come to appreciate all that my parents taught me while growing up. I realized that I am so lucky and even privileged to have experienced two amazing cultures that have shaped me into the young woman I am today. But these two cultures weren't always easy to intertwine.
"Baba, I don't get it. He won't give you your engagement ring until he surprises you? Yaani, you want a proposal like the Americans," asked my dad. "Baba, I am American," I answered. "Okay fihimna, but you're already engaged. He came and asked for your hand in marriage from me, your father. That means more to me than any ring or proposal," my dad answered back. In that moment, I knew he was right- but I still had a fairytale ending in my mind. That Westernized idea of a man getting down on one knee, and pulling out a shiny, beautiful diamond and asking the precious words of "will you marry me?" I took a deep breath and decided to let Mohanad figure it out for himself. Maybe it was silly to have a proposal, or maybe it would be everything I ever dreamt of. But regardless, my dad was right. I was already engaged and a 'proposal' wouldn't change that.
My toulbeh (a formal ceremony) had already taken place in early November. Afterwards, Mohanad and I discussed the details of what I liked and didn't like in an engagement ring. We never went ring shopping because I trusted his taste, and knew he would do an incredible job at overseeing the process. He actually hung up on me when I asked how it was coming along. Thanks, babe.
I fell in love with Mohanad's heart before all else. He had this willingness about him that was refreshing. The willingness to ensure I was always smiling. The willingness to do whatever it took to keep me happy. I knew that when it came time, he would make my proposal extremely special- even though we were technically engaged. The idea of a proposal to an already engaged couple still makes me laugh, but Mohanad pulled it off.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou Leaves Canada on a Flight to China – Yahoo News
adminairchina news December 8, 2021 (0)
(Bloomberg) — Almost three years after she was arrested at a Vancouver airport, Huawei Technologies Co. Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou left Canada on a flight to China on Friday afternoon, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Meng, who had reached a deal to end U.S. criminal charges against her, departed on a chartered Air China plane bound for Shenzhen, where Huawei has its headquarters, the person added.
Under an agreement with federal prosecutors, Meng, 49, admitted she had misled HSBC Holdings Plc about the telecom company's business with Iran, in violation of U.S. sanctions on that nation. Meng will face no further prosecution and could see the charges against her dismissed by December 2022 if she complies with the terms of the agreement.
But a larger racketeering indictment is still pending against Huawei, which grinds on even as a broader rivalry between Washington and Beijing sees relations between the two powers at their lowest point in years. Meng's arrest sparked a diplomatic crisis and retaliatory trade measures by China, which has called her prosecution a politically motivated attack on one of its chief tech champions. With the bank fraud, conspiracy and wire fraud charges against her, Meng, the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder, faced as many as 30 years in prison if convicted in the U.S.
The Justice Department said Meng's admissions "confirm the crux of the government's allegations in the prosecution of this financial fraud — that Meng and her fellow Huawei employees engaged in a concerted effort to deceive global financial institutions, the U.S. government and the public about Huawei's activities in Iran."
The company has pleaded not guilty.
Supreme Court of British Columbia Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes discharged Meng after the U.S. said it would withdraw its extradition request. The development clears the way for Meng, who had been under house arrest in Vancouver since December 2018, to return home to China.
Pro-Meng supporters gathered outside court in Vancouver on Friday chanting "Not guilty!" After the hearing, Meng gave big hugs to colleagues as she left the courtroom amid applause. One picked her up off her feet. She thanked her boosters, the Chinese consul and the Canadian people and apologized "for the inconvenience."
There was at least one detractor, too, as a car came by with the driver shouting out an obscenity against Meng and the Chinese Communist Party, to some cheers. Meng sped off in a black SUV.

The U.S. said it would pursue its racketeering case against the company.
"Our prosecution team continues to prepare for trial against Huawei, and we look forward to proving our case against the company in court," Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite said in a statement.
David Bitkower and Michael Levy, lawyers for Huawei in the U.S., didn't immediately return voicemail and email messages seeking comment on Meng's accord and the impact it might have on their case.
Canada will be looking for clarity on what the decision means for two of its citizens jailed in China after Meng's detention.
Given the tensions around the case and the number of other unresolved issues between the U.S. and China, Friday's deal spurred speculation that it was part of some broader agreement or that the U.S. got something in return.
"If this individual from Huawei is able to go home, I would expect there are other pieces to some type of an arrangement, whether there is a quid pro quo, whatever. China has made this a priority," Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said on "Balance of Power" on Bloomberg TV on Friday.
The Two Michaels
China has frequently linked Meng's case with that of jailed Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. The two Michaels, as they are known in Canada, were detained in China within days of Meng's arrest. If the deal with Meng is followed by a reciprocal agreement by Beijing to release them, it would represent a political victory for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, just days after a national election in which he faced stiff criticism from the rival Conservatives over his handling of relations with Beijing.
The return of Meng would be a win for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is banking on a tough stance with countries including the U.S., Canada and Australia to deliver kudos at home as he heads into a key leadership meeting of the ruling Communist Party next year.
Officials at China's embassies in Washington and Ottawa didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Spokespeople for Huawei in Canada also didn't respond.

Appearing by video in federal court in Brooklyn, earlier on Friday from her lawyer's office in downtown Vancouver, Meng pleaded not guilty. U.S. government lawyers said they would defer prosecution in the matter and dismiss the charges by Dec. 1, 2022, if Meng complies with the agreement, which bars her from contradicting a four-page statement of facts that recites the U.S. case against her.
In the Brooklyn hearing she admitted she made "knowing false statements" to a financial institution not identified by the U.S. In earlier court proceedings HSBC has been identified as the institution.
"Under the terms of this agreement, Ms. Meng will not be prosecuted further in the United States and the extradition proceedings in Canada will be terminated," one of her lawyers, William Taylor, said in a statement. "She has not pleaded guilty and we fully expect the indictment will be dismissed with prejudice after fourteen months. Now, she will be free to return home to be with her family."
Prosecutors alleged that Huawei and Meng lied to HSBC about Huawei's relationship with a third company that was doing business in Iran, as part of a scheme to violate the trade sanctions. Meng was accused of personally making a false presentation in August 2013 about those ties. U.S. prosecutors raised the stakes last year by adding racketeering conspiracy charges against Huawei, alleging it had won international standing by stealing trade secrets in a 20-year pattern of corporate espionage.
While the indictment doesn't name the businesses from which Huawei allegedly stole intellectual property, details of the allegations match descriptions of companies including Cisco Systems Inc., Motorola Inc. and Cnex Labs Inc.
China had long argued that the U.S. was using Meng as a bargaining chip to achieve other demands. That suspicion appeared to be affirmed in December 2018, when then-President Donald Trump told Reuters in an interview he would intervene in U.S. efforts to extradite Meng if it would help him reach a trade deal.

As Meng's case appeared to languish, pressure on Trudeau's government grew. Last month, a Chinese court jailed Spavor for 11 years on spying charges. But while that decision left the door open for his eventual deportation, it sparked more international criticism.
Trudeau condemned the verdict as "absolutely unacceptable and unjust" while David Meale, the top U.S. diplomat in Beijing, called the proceedings a "blatant attempt to use human beings as bargaining leverage." In a separate statement, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Beijing's sentencing and called for the immediate release of all people "arbitrarily" detained in China.
The conviction of Spavor, along with that of Kovrig — a Hong Kong-based analyst at the International Crisis Group and former Canadian diplomat — fed criticism of the expansion of "hostage diplomacy." China has repeatedly linked the cases to Meng's, with a Foreign Ministry spokesman saying last year that halting her extradition "could open up space for resolution to the situation of the two Canadians."
Trudeau's incumbent Liberals won a third term this week, but the prime minister was unable to regain majority control of the legislature. The continued detention of the two Michaels remains a central foreign policy issue for his government.
The case is U.S. v. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. et al., 18-cr-457, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn).
