AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A painting that Romanian prosecutors said on Sunday might be a work by Pablo Picasso stolen in 2012 is more likely a forgery created as a publicity stunt, Dutch media reported.
State broadcaster NOS cited author Frank Westerman, who helped locate the painting in Romania’s Tulcea county after an anonymous tip, turning it over to Romanian police on Saturday.
Westerman told NOS on Sunday he had received an e-mail from a Belgian theatre company which is staging a play about a famed art forger. He said the painting he recovered appears to have been a forgery hidden as part of an elaborate hoax.
Separately a former curator of the museum that owned the real “Tête d’Arlequin”, or Harlequin’s Head, told Dutch television that based on photos he had seen of the painting that was found, it appeared to be a forgery.
Romanian prosecutors, who said Sunday they were trying to verify the work’s authenticity, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The BERLIN theatre company in Antwerp, Belgium, which is putting on the play about forgery, said in a carefully worded tweet that it had “brought back” Tête d’Arlequin in a new frame.
On its website it said it would “be back with more details on this issue within the next few days” and listed links to reports of the discovery of the painting.
The real Picasso was stolen from an exhibition in Rotterdam in one of the art world’s most dramatic heists. The other paintings taken were Matisse’s “La Liseuse en Blanc et Jaune”, Monet’s “Waterloo Bridge, London” and “Charing Cross Bridge, London”, Gauguin’s “Femme devant une fenêtre ouverte”, Meijer De Haan’s “Autoportrait” and Lucian Freud’s “Woman with Eyes Closed”.
A Romanian man and several accomplices were convicted of the theft in 2013, but none of the artworks have been recovered. Romanian experts believed at least three of them were burned in an attempt to destroy evidence. | 0 |

"SpongeBob SquarePants" has inspired vandalism in Russia.
The Moscow Times reports a decorative Soviet-era star on a tower in the city of Voronezh was painted to look like the American cartoon character's sidekick Patrick, a pink starfish. The incident occurred Oct. 25 and will cost 100,000 rubles ($1,530) to clean and restore.
Photos of the stunt leaked Thursday and spread on social media throughout the weekend. Voronezh police have not identified any suspects, who will face up to 15 days in detention for the stunt.
According to RT, the building is not considered a memorial, but officials say it still has Soviet symbols.

The Moscow Times reports the building's rooftop was previously targeted in a prank last year. A crane was required to remove a "Jolly Rodger" flag left on top of the rooftop spire.
RT adds protesters placed a Ukrainian flag on top of the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment building in Moscow in 2014.
"SpongeBob SquarePants" has aired in the U.S. on Nickelodeon since 1999 and inspired several films, comic books, theme park rides, music albums and video games. Syracuse native Tom Kenny is the voice of the titular character, a sea sponge who works as a fry cook at the underwater Krusty Krab restaurant. | 1 |
Las autoridades belgas han llegado este jueves a un consenso sobre el acuerdo de libre comercio entre la Unión Europea (UE) y Canadá, el llamado CETA, según informó el grupo de radiotelevisión público de Bélgica RTBF. El acuerdo entre los belgas será enviado a los embajadores de los Estados miembros ante Bruselas para que lo validen.
La UE cancela la cumbre con Canadá sobre el CETA por el veto de la región belga de Valonia
Saber más
El consenso para desbloquear un acuerdo que hasta ahora vetaba Valonia, la parte francófona de Bélgica, ha llegado menos de una hora después de que fuentes de la Unión Europea hayan anunciado que se suspende la cumbre entre la UE y Canadá de hoy en la que estaba previsto que se firmara el CETA. El presidente del Consejo Europeo, Donald Tusk, ha expresado su satisfacción por el acuerdo a través de su cuenta en twitter.
I am glad for good news from PM @CharlesMichel. Only once all procedures are finalised for EU signing CETA, will I contact PM @JustinTrudeau — Charles Michel (@eucopresident) 27 de octubre de 2016
El miércoles, las negociaciones entre Bélgica y su región valona para que esta levantase su veto al acuerdo de libre comercio con Canadá habían terminado sin acuerdo, lo que obligó a suspender el cónclave de este jueves.
Ahora el texto acordado entre los belgas tiene que recibir el visto bueno del resto de países miembros de la UE, algo que puede hacerse rápido. Posteriormente deberá convocarse una cumbre europea para dar luz verde al CETA. | 2 |
It is End of Line for fans of ElecTRONica, the almost-nightly dance party at the Disneyland Resort as Disney has announced its replacement: Mad T Party. The new Disney California Adventure nighttime event will begin in summer 2012, inspired by Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” movie.
The Mad T Party will include a live band, a DJ, entertainment, games and lots of dancing. Familiar characters will be “re-imagined” to immerse guests into the environment in the park’s Hollywood Pictures Backlot. It will include unique food, drinks and merchandise. Guests will enter the party through the “rabbit hole.”
Artwork released by Disney shows a stage with characters, including a Mad Hatter and White Rabbit of sorts, as well as a House of Cards lounge with card-themed dancers:

AFP PHOTO, liberons-sophie | Sophie Petronin was abducted in late 2016 by armed men in the northern Malian town of Gao
An agency that monitors jihadist websites says al Qaeda's Mali branch has released a video of two hostages, including French aid worker Sophie Pétronin, who was abducted in late 2016.

SITE Intelligence Group said the video released Wednesday on Telegram by the Mali-based Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen shows Pétronin and Colombian nun Gloria Cecilia Narvaez.
Pétronin, 75, was abducted in late 2016 by armed men in the northern Malian town of Gao, where she ran an organisation for malnourished children.
[The French aid worker is pictured in the tweet below, with the text confirming her kidnapping]
MALI : La France confirme l'enlèvement de la Française Sophie Pétronin, qui dirige une ONG aidant les enfants, par des hommes armés à Gao. pic.twitter.com/g0gTtyIWVL — Infos Françaises (@InfosFrancaises) December 25, 2016
Narvaez was seized near Mali's border with Burkina Faso in February 2017.
The footage shows the two women together, with Narvaez providing care to Pétronin.
SITE says Pétronin addresses her son and expresses a wish to reunite with her family. She then addresses French President Emmanuel Macron, stating that the footage was recorded on June 7.
Narvaez addresses Pope Francis, asking him to intervene on behalf of the sick Pétronin.
In January, the insurgents released a video of Narvaez, with an extremist narrating an appeal for the payment of her release. Pétronin appeared in videos released in March of this year and in July 2017.
In 2012, Mali's north fell under the control of jihadist groups linked to al Qaeda who exploited an ethnic Tuareg-led rebel uprising, though the Islamists were largely ousted by a French-led military operation in January 2013.
Since then, jihadists have continued to mount numerous attacks on civilians and the army, as well as on French and UN forces stationed there.

Cuando viendo las conecciones de Lopez con líderes Sudamericanos favorecientes a los Estados Unidos, su plataforma económica hecha para las corporaciones privadas e inversionistas que lo respaldan, sus conecciones con los operadores de CANVAS, y el hecho de que el gobierno estadounidense aloco $5 millones para financiar actividades de la oposición en Venezuela en el presupuesto del 2014, no es difícil conectar los puntos.

Si Lopez tiene éxito en expulsar a Maduro, será un sueño hecho realidad para Washington y la clase inversionista occidental. Y será el inicio de la conquista corporativa de Venezuela.

Segundo se pode ver no mapa, a partir dos datos do informe sobre a tendencia de variación anual na precipitación no período 1981-2018, Vigo perdeu 12,8 milímetros de auga por ano, o que equivale a 12,8 litros menos por metro cadrado cada doce meses. É, con diferenza, a cidade das analizadas onde máis descenderon as chuvias nos últimos 40 anos, período no que aumentaron lixeiramente na Coruña, Lugo e Ourense.
Vigo é a cidade, das analizadas en todo o Estado, onde máis descenderon as chuvias desde 1981: 12,8 litros por metro cadrado menos cada ano
O informe, ademais, alerta de que o aumento das temperaturas que “xa se está a producir polo quecemento global, seguirase producindo, polo que de manterse estas precipitacións e aumentar a irregularidade das mesmas, cada vez haberá menos dispoñibilidade de auga real”. Tamén aclara que a incerteza sobre os escenarios das precipitacións no futuro son grandes e que as diferenzas entre autonomías son “moi elevadas” en España. Con todo, as tendencias observadas, di o estudo, apuntan a unha “clara” diminución das chuvias nalgunhas cidades e provincias, como ocorre no caso galego, polo que aconsella estudar “con moito maior detalle” o fenómeno para “tomar medidas axiña” sobre as necesidades de auga por localidades, en base á seguridade do abastecemento e á necesidade para zonas verdes ou de rego. | 7 |

Now the development server will direct you to the correct route depending on your authentication status. In production mode, the distribution index.html file will be served - more on this below.
Production and Development
With the production setup, an entire React application is built for distribution, and the Express app serves the SPA on all routes.
package.json
{ "build" : "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --config config/webpack.prod.js", "start" : "npm run build && node src/server/index.js" }
This is cumbersome for development. The best way to deal with development is to serve React on a Webpack dev server just as you regularly would, and proxy all API requests to the Express server.
package.json
{ "client" : "cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --config config/webpack.dev.js", "server" : "nodemon src/server/index.js", "dev" : "concurrently \"npm run server\" \"npm run client\"" }
You'll probably serve the React app on port 3000 and the server on 5000, which can be set in the development Webpack config file.
devServer : { historyApiFallback : true, proxy : { '/api' : 'http://localhost:5000', }, open : true, compress : true, hot : true, port : 3000, }
Setting historyApiFallback will ensure the SPA routes work properly. It's also important to set the publicPath in Webpack to /, to ensure the routes in production serve the bundles from the root.
The Webpack Boilerplate is a good example to use for how to set up Webpack (in this case, you would just move everything from building directly to src to building to src/client ).

Why cats and boxes mix has long been a mystery. Now researchers from the University of Utrecht have discovered why, publishing the results of their findings in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science.
In their study, the researchers set out to determine if boxes can help in alleviating stress in shelter cats. Felines have long had an affinity for enclosed cardboard structures so researchers explored what would happen if shelter cats were exposed to boxes. In a Dutch animal shelter, 19 new shelter cats were identified and randomly assigned to either get a box or not. Ten were given boxes; 9 were not. According to results, those cats with boxes exhibited faster recovery ability and adapted to their new environment more quickly compared with the group without boxes, with significant differences recorded just three to four days into the study.
"Stressful experiences can have a major impact on the cats' welfare and may cause higher incidences of infectious diseases in the shelters due to raised cortisol levels causing immunodeficiency. Though several studies showed preference for hiding places and stress-reducing effects of hiding boxes on cats in combined studies, none of these studies determined if proper hiding enrichment would be effective in a quarantine cattery," explained the researchers of their work.
To assess the cats, researchers used the Kessler and Turner Cat-Stress Score during the 14-day study period. Results showed that the cat group with boxes registered mean CSS lower than their counterparts without boxes, which meant they had lower stress levels. There was also minimal difference in the scores reported for each cat individually in the group with boxes while those without boxes showed high variance. Both groups managed to have the same CSS by the end of the study but in terms of recovery, the group given boxes were already well off by the third day. These findings led the researchers to conclude that being given a box to hide in allows a cat to recover in a new environment faster by keeping stress levels down.
As a next step in research involving cats and boxes, it may be explored how a hiding box factors in on housed cats and what long-term effects having access to a hiding box might have. Additionally, research may also be done on the role of hiding boxes in infectious disease outbreaks in cats.
University of Utrecht researchers C. M. Vinke, L.M. Godijn and W. J. R. van der Leij all contributed to the study.

Lufthansa! Halkı dizginleme kimyasallarını Türkiye’ye artık postalamayacağını hemen ilan et!
Lufthansa, “halkı hizaya sokmak” için kullanılan kimyasalları Türkiye’ye gönderdiğini itiraf etti.
Lufthansa’ya sesleniyoruz:
* Göz yaşartıcı bombaları ve diğer “halkı hizaya sokucu” kimyasalları Türkiye’ye gönderme!
* Bundan böyle göndermeyeceğini herkese derhal açıkça duyur!
* Demokrasinin yanındaysan duruşunu belli et.
* Duruşu belli olanları tarih ödüllendirir.
Have the senior management of Lufthansa ever felt the effects of tear gas? Have they ever been shot by a canister which specifically carries the instructions "Do not aim directly at humans"? Have they ever felt the effects of CS or CR gas in a closed space, when a police officer fired directly into their living room? Have they ever experienced first-hand the disproportionate use of force, being fired upon for expressing one's constitutionally guaranteed and universally democratic right to assemble and have one's voice heard?
Doubt it.
Because if they did, they would have found a regulatory and moral reason not to ship such cargo for use by a police force which has demonstrated unthinkable brutality against its own citizens. Why does Lufthansa think it is okay to ship these as long as the right forms are filled out?
Lufthansa has a number of clients and a very high profile in Turkey. Its senior managers can prevent this from snowballing into something bigger right now. We call on Lufthansa to take a stand. Lufthansa must make it clear it will not aid and abet the ruthless persecution of peaceful protesters who have a right to have their opinions heard.

ar pe la Eroilor se surpă bulevardul de pricepuți ce suntem când o punem pe Varvara la săpat ca să ajungem în Drumul Taberei după un sfert de secol.
Noul șef al CNADNR (compania de autostrăzi) a fost director interimar Metrorex București. Se numește Cătălin Homor. Dacă va fi la fel de gospodar pe drumurile noastre cum a dovedit că a fost în scurtul mandat de la metrou, atunci șansele să avem infrastructură sunt mici.
Cât despre transparență, este timpul ca autoritățile să investigheze de la cine a cumpărat Metrorex automatele de bilete care nu funcționează, pe cîți bani și cum a fost făcută licitația. Și în ce fel sunt alocate spațiile comerciale din stații- o afacere tenebroasă, încheiată între companie și o firmă la care sunt acționari sindicaliștii.
Și un ultim exercițiu- care ține tot de relația dintre Metrorex și clienți- încercați să îi sunați. În nouă cazuri din zece, nu va răspunde nimeni la telefon, indiferent de intervalul în care apelați la următoarele numere de telefon scrise la categoria contact de pe website-ul metrorex.ro - 004 021 319 36 00/ 004 021 336 00 90004 / 021 9264. | 15 |
love to get rid of. That assumption is that we'll only ever pass in a single child, and that that child is a form input. We might want to have several inputs, or some text surrounding the input, or just have some custom UI that needs to be rendered. Let's fix that.
function InputGroup ( props ) { const id = React. useMemo (() => props. id ||'input-'+ uuid (), [ props. id ]) const isInvalid = props ['aria-invalid'] || String (!! props. error ); const label = typeof props. label ==='string '? < label htmlFor = { id } > { props. label } </ label > : React. cloneElement ( props. label, { htmlFor : id }); const error = typeof props. error ==='string '? < div > { props. error } </ div > : props. error ; return ( < div > { label } { props. children ({ id,'aria-invalid': isInvalid }) } { props. error && error } </ div > ); }
Notice we're now calling props.children with our augmented props. This is called the "render props" pattern, which you can read more about in the docs. This leads to usage like this:
< InputGroup label = "Amount" > { inputProps => ( < div > $ < input {... inputProps } /> </ div > ) } </ InputGroup >
This way, we have full control over how our UI is rendered. We're providing the props meant for the form input as the argument to our children-function, and lets the consumer place them on the correct element.
This approach has its downsides though - the syntax looks terrible, and the consumer needs to spread the props manually. Consider if this is a good pattern for your project.
Summary
Creating a good, solid API for a React component is no easy task. The component should be reusable by different consumers, everything should be accessible by default, and anything your component does should be overridable.
This article has gone through a few ways to "get there". It sure complicates things a bit up front, but it lets you create incredibly flexible UIs without having to add new props to your component every week.
If you want to play with this API, you can do so in this CodeSandbox:

The co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany nationalist party dismissed the importance of the years the country suffered Nazi rule as nothing but a “speck of bird poop” in Germany’s history. Politicians from across the spectrum came out in full force to condemn the statement, saying it shows the true face of the AfD.
At a gathering of the anti-immigrant party’s youth movement, Alexander Gauland said that while Germans do have to take responsibility for the 12 years of Nazi leadership, he argued it was not worth spending too much time on the issue. “We have a glorious history and it, dear friends, lasted longer than those blasted 12 years,” he said. “Hitler and the Nazis are just a speck of bird poop in more than 1,000 years of successful German history.” Although the AP translates Gauland’s statement as “bird poop,” Reuters and DPA both use the less euphemistic “bird shit.”
50 Mio. Kriegsopfer, Holocaust und totaler Krieg für AfD und Gauland nur ein "Vogelschiss"! So sieht die Partei hinter bürgerlicher Maske aus. https://t.co/5WFftKiQ8o — A. Kramp-Karrenbauer (@akk) June 2, 2018
The secretary general of the leading Christian Democratic Party, which is led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, was one of the many to condemn the statement. “Fifty million victims of war, the Holocaust and all-out war are for the AfD and Gauland just ‘bird shit.’ This is what the party looks like behind its civic mask,” Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer wrote on Twitter. Lars Klingbeil, general secretary of the Social Democrats, blasted Gauland for trivializing the era in history. “It is a disgrace that such characters sit in parliament,” he said. Katrin Göring-Eckardt of the Green Party, meanwhile, said the statement showed the importance of why it’s important to push back against a minority that is filled with hate.
The meteoric rise of the AfD has raised concerns because it can no longer be described as a fringe party considering it is the third-largest in parliament and now the largest opposition party. | 17 |
Canada's Defence Minister has gained something of a reputation for saying things that later prove untrue.
Jason Kenney falsely claims Canada is “the only country in the world” to eliminate its deficit
Jason Kenney falsely claims Canada is “the only country in the world” to eliminate its deficit
Canada’s Defence Minister Jason Kenney is gaining quite the reputation for saying things that later prove untrue!
This year, Kenney claimed a Canadian frigate was “buzzed by Russian fighter jets,” but NATO officials later said the plane was 128 km away. He also tweeted photos of women in chains to drum up support for Canadian military actions in the Middle East, but it turns out that was a religious ceremony, not ISIS.
Well, here’s another yarn to add to Kenney’s long list of tall tales.
According to local media, here’s what Kenney had to say last week campaigning for Montreal-area candidate Wiliam Moughrabi (whose controversial dating advice has also landed him in hot water):
« Le Canada était le dernier à entrer en récession lors de la crise économique en 2008 et le seul pays au monde à avoir éliminer le déficit »
Don’t speak French? Here’s how that translates:
“Canada was the last to enter into recession during the economic crisis in 2008 and the only country in the world to have eliminated its deficit.”
Is that really true? Is Canada really “the only country in the world” to eliminate its deficit?
According to OECD data, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Korea, Iceland, Luxembourg, Estonia and Switzerland are all currently in surplus.
And following the 2008 economic crisis, China, Russia, Germany and Korea eliminated their deficits before Canada.
Norway, on the other hand, never went into deficit.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Budget Office projects Canada will not balance its budget this year and will instead end the year $1 billion in deficit.
Although the Conservatives’ obsession with balancing the budget is more symbolism than economics – reducing spending when the economy is weak can do more harm than good.
Either way, Canada is on pace for its eighth deficit in a row under Harper’s Conservatives.

PAUL Lee has expressed his willingness to re-sign with Rain or Shine after ending his self-imposed exile by appearing in the team's practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Yeng Guiao.
Guiao had a heart-to-heart talk with his star guard during the team's practice at the Nega gym, asking Lee point-blank if he still wants to stay with the only team he has played for in three seasons in the PBA.
"Simple lang naman, tinanong ko siya (Lee) kung gusto pa ba niya maglaro sa amin. Ang sabi niya, gusyo niya maglaro sa amin, so tapos," Guiao told Spin.ph after their talk that lasted for about 15 minutes.
On the protracted and controversial negotiations, Guiao said communications may have broke down somewhere while the free agent guard was with Gilas Pilipinas in its Fiba World Cup campaign in Seville, Spain.
Lee's agent Lawrence Chongson's tirades against Rain or Shine management also muddled the issue, he added.

[See Chongson says Rain or Shine offensive to blame for Lee's decision to seek trade: 'Nasaktan si Paul dun']
But most of all, the multi-titled coach said he assured the former Rookie of the Year that the team values him as well as his contributions in three years as an Elasto Painter.

"In-explain ko lang ang background ng nangyari kasi baka akala niya hindi namin vina-value yung mga nagawa niya sa team," explained the fiery Rain or Shine mentor.
"At least naintindihan na niya," he added.
Guiao said he has asked Lee to personally pay Rain or Shine co-owners Terry Que and Raymund Yu a visit and thresh things out before signing a three-year, P15.2 million deal offered by the Elasto Painters.
"Sila boss na ang bahala sa pagpirma ni Paul. Basta sinabi ko lang eh puntahan na niya ang mga team owners para magkausap na sila," said Guiao.

the “Incorrect string value” exception from your database layer (which is also bad). Either way, the solution is not that nice and i would have preferred an explicit value (but that’s what you get with a wrong design decision like having 2 UTF-8 datatypes)
Here’s what i am using with MySQL Connector/J 5.1.22
as part of a jdbc url:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_database?useUnicode=true
or with a JDBC DataSource:
final MysqlDataSource rv = new MysqlDataSource ( ) ; rv. setServerName ( "localhost" ) ; rv. setPortNumber ( 3306 ) ; rv. setDatabaseName ( "your_database" ) ; rv. setUseUnicode ( true ) ; final MysqlDataSource rv = new MysqlDataSource(); rv.setServerName("localhost"); rv.setPortNumber(3306); rv.setDatabaseName("your_database"); rv.setUseUnicode(true);
Handling 4 byte UTF-8 characters in Java
I spoke about a wrong design decision within MySQL, having 2 UTF-8 character set. The Java designers choose the other way.
In Java strings are internally just an array of chars and a character is 16bit datatype which leaves us with a problem (i guess this is one of the reasons for the decision of MySQL): How to represent 32bit wide characters? Java represents those supplementary characters as pairs of surrogate chars, the first one is a high-surrogate, the second a low-surrogate.
What does that mean? Let me give you a little, commented example:
I’m expressing my frustration about several java libraries not being able to handle those characters well with the pile of poo… I rewrote part of JSoup and Mylyn/WikiText to supply correct rendering at Daily Fratze.
I see why the Java developers needed to use a construct like high- and low surrogate and i like this solution much better than having two separate character sets. What you absolutely need to get right when you’re dealing with strings at character level is wether you want to count codepoints or chars and you must respect character pairs. | 20 |

self and of my powerlessness that is objective, sensuously perceptible, obvious and therefore put beyond all doubt.[4]
NOTES
1. Translated as “Monetary System": This was a specific belief among early Mercantilists. They contended that wealth consisted in money itself, in building bullion reserves. It's because of this that the export of gold or silver was not allowed, forcing active trade balances between nations.
2. This passage reads, in the original German: “Durch die wechselseitige Entäusserung oder Entfremdung des Privateigentums ist das Privateignetum selbst in die Bestimmung des entäusserten Privateigentums geraten.” It demonstrates that, when using the terms “Entäusserung” and “Entfremdung” to denote alienation, Marx imparted to them an identical, or nearly identical, meaning. In all translations from early Marx, the Collected Works translates Entäusserung as “alienation” and Entfremdung as “estrangement.” They made this decision based on the fact that Marx would later (Theories of Surplus-Value ) directly employ the word alienation as the English equivalent of Entäusserung.
3. This refers primarily to James Mill, who divided his system of political economy into four independent sections: Production, Distribution, Exchange and Consumption.
4. The rest of the conspectus contains further excerpts from Mill's book. After the excerpts dealing with the question of land rent, capital profit and wages as sources of taxation and state revenues, Marx wrote:
“Needless to say, Mill, like Ricardo, denies that he wishes to impress on any government the idea that land rent should be made the sole source of taxes, since this would be a partisan measure placing an unfair burden on a particular class of individuals. But – and this is a momentous, insidious but – but the tax on land rent is the only tax that is not harmful from the standpoint of political economy, hence the only just tax from the point of view of political economy. Indeed, the one doubt raised by political economy is rather an attraction than a cause for apprehension, namely, that even in a country with an ordinary number of population and or ordinary size the amount yielded by land rent would exceed the needs of the government.” | 22 |

Did you ever have a day when you thought “I didn’t get anything done today!”?
Taking two minutes to do the following activity will change your mind every time!
A terrific way to end your day is to take two or three minutes right before going to sleep to list in a notebook all the things you’ve accomplished that day, including good choices (ate two servings of fruit), exercise done (walked 10,000 steps), good deeds and small acts of kindness (wrote a letter to grandma).
Even though you may have an enormous “to do” list tacked to the front of the refrigerator, taking a moment to think about your day and making this “victory log” causes you to stop and appreciate the day’s achievements (even if they aren’t on that master list!)
It’s a quick and easy way to feel good about what you really did and generate a feeling of satisfaction before falling asleep.
After you’ve been using the victory log for several months and flip back through the notebook, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll think, with pleasure,”Wow! I get a lot of things done.”

Vinto town mayor Patricia Arce was drenched in paint, her hair cut as demonstrators forced her to walk barefoot.
Bolivia’s President Evo Morales condemned on Thursday an attack on a female mayor in which an opposition mob forcibly cut her hair, covered her in paint and marched her barefoot through the streets.
Bolivia has been rocked by deadly post-election violence over opposition claims that Morales rigged his re-election last month.
A 20-year-old student died in clashes on Wednesday between pro- and anti-government demonstrators in the central city of Cochabamba, bringing the overall toll to three dead since the October 20 election.
In nearby Vinto, an opposition mob stormed the municipal headquarters and dragged the mayor Patricia Arce,into the street before setting the building ablaze.
Morales said in a tweet on Thursday that Arce – a member of his ruling Movement for Socialism (MAS) party – had been “cruelly abducted for expressing and defending her ideals and the principles of the poorest.”
Television images showed her on the ground, her hair cut, and covered in red paint. She was dragged and forced to walk barefoot through the town by the mob before being rescued by police on motorcycles.
Morales’ party demanded the police bring the perpetrators to justice.
Arce’s office told local media on Thursday the mayor “is recovering” from her ordeal.

“For these people, being a woman is a crime, being humble is a crime, having a skirt is a crime, said Vice President Alvaro Garcia.
“This has never happened in our democracy. That is called fascism: attacking women, assaulting them for their ethnic status. What Bolivia is facing is a fascist wave.”
The Women’s Social Organizations, linked to the ruling party, expressed “outrage” at the attack, and “for all the insults of hatred, racism, discrimination and violence” of the opposition. | 25 |
French data protection officials have taken the lead on Europe's investigation into Google's new privacy policy, and have asked that the search giant respond to specific questions by April 5.
French data protection officials have taken the lead on Europe's investigation into Google's new privacy policy, and have asked that the search giant respond to specific questions by April 5.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, a member of CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés), penned a letter to Google's Larry Page on Friday to say that the EU's Article 29 Working Party asked CNIL to head up "analysis" of Google's new privacy policy.
At issue is Google's move to consolidate 70 or so privacy policies across its products down to one, which. But with this change, Google also switched to one profile for users across all services rather than separate logs for offerings like YouTube, Search, and Blogger.
It's that account consolidation bit that has privacy advocates up in arms. In early February, the Article 29 Working Party its privacy policy update until the EU could conduct an investigation. But Google refused, arguing that "delaying the new policy would cause significant confusion."
In her letter, Falque-Pierrotin said "the CNIL deeply regrets that Google did not delay the application of the new policy."
The CNIL did, however, prepare a list of detailed questions in cooperation with all European data protection agencies that it wants Page to address.
Falque-Pierrotin mentioned that Google offered to meet with the Article 29 Working Party "to address concerns," but she argued that "a hearing would be premature at this stage of the process." CNIL needs written responses to its questions before it can reconsider the meeting request, Falque-Pierrotin said.
Among the questions asked are whether Google has received any complaints about its new policies from users and details about how many people visit its privacy website. CNIL also asked for detailed information about the data collected by Google, what that data is used for, and how long it is retained. There were also questions about user rights, how the privacy policy differs from its terms of service, and more.
Google has repeatedly defended its new policy. In a blog post from the day it went live, the company stressed that "as you use our products one thing will be clear: it's the same Google experience that you're used to, with the same controls." | 26 |
Mexico City organized a Day of the Dead parade for the first time on Saturday, inspired by the opening scenes from the 2015 James Bond film, “Spectre.”
Thousands looked on as giant skeleton marionettes and scores of dancers marched through Mexico’s capital, but many Mexicans expressed outrage with the mutation of the traditionally intimate festival.
On the Day of the Dead, which dates back to the Aztecs, Mexicans traditionally hold vigils for the deceased and bring offerings to the their graves. They also erect altars in their homes in honor of loved ones who have passed away.
Carl Court via Getty Images A woman poses with the mask from James Bond's Day of the Dead costume, worn by Daniel Craig in "Spectre," during a photocall at Christie's auction house on Feb. 15 in London.
Lourdes Berho, chief executive of Mexico’s tourism board, has said that “Spectre,” in which Bond chases a villain through a parade of people dressed up as skeletons, has raised expectations for large-scale Day of the Dead festivities.
Tourism officials have said they hope the new parade will attract tourists to Mexico City.

The regional health centre in Gaspé has been ordered to take down some bilingual signs inside its buildings.
The order was given by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF), which visited a Gaspé hospital over the summer and sent the notice to the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux (CISSS) de Gaspésie.
OQLF Spokesperson Jean-Pierre Leblanc says English speakers have to make up 50 per cent of the total population for signs in both French and English to be allowed.
"When this is not the case, they're not recognized and they have to go according to the law," Leblanc said.
According to Leblanc, Bill 101 allows health and safety information to be posted in both languages, such as signs asking people to wash their hands. But signs giving directions to examining rooms for example, will be taken down.
Bilingual service was common practice
The CISSS says providing service in both English and French has been a common practice for years. But spokesperson Geneviève Cloutier says they have little choice but to respect the law.
"This doesn't mean that people will stop receiving services in English. The colour code we have (which identifies bilingual staff with yellow badges) will remain in place," she said.
Cloutier says the hospital will make sure added personnel will be assigned to welcome people at the front desk.
Concern for seniors
About 14 per cent of patients are anglophone at the hospital in Gaspé, the Centre de santé et de services sociaux de la Côte-de-Gaspé. Most of them are seniors. In some parts of the peninsula, like nearby Barachois, the majority are English speakers.
Bernice Vibert, who works at the general store in Barachois, is worried that seniors won't be able to find their way inside the hospital.
"The hospital is a public place and everyone should be served in their language. To respect people, the English signs should stay up," Vibert said.
She says customers have told her they don't understand why the language debate is still an issue.
"What does it hurt to have those people served in English and their papers written in English? There's nothing wrong with that," she said. | 28 |

Em 2017, de março a outubro, os pesquisadores ouviram, em todo o país, 1.640 jovens entre 18 e 34 anos, e o resultado foi uma guinada de comportamento. No meio dos números, um recado: ser feliz perdeu importância para a ideia de ganhar dinheiro.
Será que o senso prático da chamada geração z, que não sabe o que é uma vida sem tecnologia, teria a ver com o mundo conectado em que ela vive? Pela primeira vez na história da humanidade, uma geração vive integralmente na chamada era da hiper-realidade, um mundo de múltiplas realidades, a física e a virtual se sobrepondo e, mais do que isso, se complementando.

O Gartner espera que os gastos com privacidade impactem as estratégias de compra das partes interessadas conectadas, incluindo as de Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) e Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs). “A era pós-GDPR exige uma ampla gama de recursos tecnológicos, muito além das planilhas padrão do Excel do passado”, afirma Willemsen.
“O mercado de tecnologia voltada à privacidade ainda está surgindo”, diz Willemsen. “O certo é que a privacidade, como disciplina consciente e deliberada, desempenhará um papel considerável em como e por que os fornecedores desenvolvem seus produtos. À medida que a Inteligência Artificial aumenta a prontidão para a privacidade, auxiliando as organizações em áreas como gerenciamento de solicitações de direitos subjetivos e descoberta de dados certamente começaremos a ver mais recursos de IA oferecidos pelos fornecedores de serviços”.

I actually didn’t know anything about it until five minutes before the match,” he said. “Roger coincidentally came into the locker room and asked whether Kei was going to play and I had no idea why he shouldn’t play. [Federer] then said ‘Ah, no, never mind, it was just a question, I’m out of here,'” Seppi said with a chuckle.
“I didn’t quite know how to react to it. When I walked on court I noticed that his calf was taped and right away from the first service game it was evident that he…wasn’t at his best.”
Naturally questions surrounded Nishikori after the match: Was the calf issue he picked up during his quarterfinal win over Jerzy Janowicz going to affect his Wimbledon preparation or participation?
“I felt it yesterday during the match and I fought through yesterday,” Nishikori said. “But today was a little pain this morning and I tried in the match, but couldn’t really move. So, I, especially with these guys with the injury it’s never easy to win…and I don’t want to take a big risk for Wimbledon. So, I retired from the match today. It just came suddenly yesterday. So, there is nothing I could do and it’s very unfortunate. But I’ll try to find a way to prepare for Wimbledon.”
“I don’t know [whether it will affect my Wimbledon preparation and participation]. I cannot say much because I have to see how it will be the next couple of days. I really will have to see how the pain goes. But I’m sure it’s going to be okay. It’s no big deal.”
Although he says it’s no big deal, the timing is certainly unfortunate for Nishikori who had begun to look less fragile over the course of 2015.
In his bid for an eight Gerry Weber Open trophy, Federer will face Seppi tomorrow at 1 p.m local time. The doubles final — featuring unseeded Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram and No. 2 seeds Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea — will follow.

I want to be a better pastor.
I’m always doing everything I can to put more tools in my pastoral tool belt. I read the best books I can find, I seek out wise counsel, I take classes and go to seminars. All of these practices have helped me become a better pastor – some more than others.
But, along the way, I’ve discovered that there are a handful of things many of us strive for that will do nothing to make us better pastors.
I’ve also discovered a list of things that we all know, but sometimes overlook, that will always make us better pastors – and people.
The first list is not exhaustive – it never will be. But I think the second one is. I offer both of them in simple lists because each one stands on its own.
What Will Not Make Us Better Pastors
More people in our church More money in the offering A bigger building A bigger staff A better worship team A better website More invitations to preach/teach at camps, conferences and seminars Comparing ourselves with other pastors and churches An appearance on anyone’s list of biggest, greatest or most influential churches
Most of those things aren’t wrong in themselves. Many of them can be a blessing. But if you think you need any of them to have a better church or be a better pastor, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
What Will Make Us Better Pastors – And People
A strong and growing relationship with Jesus A strong and growing relationship with our family A strong a growing relationship with our church A strong a growing relationship with people outside the church
The Basics Matter
Are you surprised by those lists? Probably not.
Disappointed by them? I hope not.
Are they worth reconsidering every once-in-a-while? For sure.
It’s easy to get lost chasing the newest, coolest or biggest thing. Or hanging on to old, stale methods. But nothing matters more than the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
So what do you think? What would you add to the list?
We want to hear from you. Yes, you!

Anne Webber, a founder of the commission, said her researchers concluded that the resale of looted art to Nazi-tied families had hardly been isolated. “They called them a ‘return sale,’” she said. “Why were they returned to them rather than the family from whom they were looted? Nobody knew.”
The return sales to Nazi families — first reported in late June by the Munich daily Süddeutsche Zeitung — are also causing political recriminations. This week, a Bavarian state Parliament committee demanded an accounting from government officials about the extent of the system to resell art to Nazi families and a tally of how many looted works remain in government possession that could be returned to the proper heirs.
Mrs. von Schirach’s grandson Ferdinand von Schirach — a best-selling German author whose grandfather was imprisoned for 20 years for the deportation of more than 60,000 Austrian Jews — is also pledging to investigate the provenance of his late grandmother’s art.
“We need to know about the evil,” he said. “That’s the only way we can live with it.”
The discreet art trade with Nazi relatives emerged in 1949, four years after the war, when the American military transferred responsibility for restitution of looted works to the West Germans and Austrians. Munich became the hub of a network of art dealers and state officials who had helped drive Nazi looting and then after the war fostered trafficking in those works.
The painting collection’s archives illustrate in great detail the efforts by families like the von Schirachs to retain the art. The family patriarch was Baldur von Schirach, a Nazi governor in Vienna who was tried for war crimes in Nuremberg. While he was imprisoned in Spandau, his wife, Henriette, and relatives worked for more than a decade to reclaim art, carpets and furniture.

According to archival documents, her father, Heinrich Hoffmann, who was Hitler’s personal photographer, sought to claim a list of 278 paintings that had been confiscated by units like the Monuments Men, an Allied group devoted to recovering and returning looted art. | 36 |
Es un hecho, finalmente se realizará el primer Boiler Room en Argentina. La plataforma de streaming lo confirmó a través de su página oficial de Facebook. El evento será el próximo 30 de octubre y contará con la participación de los talentos locales Chancha Via Circuito, Barem, Ernesto Ferreyra, Alexis Cabrera y DFunklub. Obviamente se desconoce la locación y las pocas personas que puedan asistir lo harán mediante una invitación especial.
Boiler Room es una de las plataformas de streaming musical más importantes del mundo. Surgió en 2010, en Londres, como una forma de protesta frente al circuito de música en vivo, que con sus restricciones no daba lugar al desarrollo de los nuevos talentos. El formato fue siempre bien simple: una cámara, música en vivo (en formato DJ Set casi siempre), locación secreta y unos pocos asistentes bailando atrás del artista de turno. Este mismo formato fue lo que hizo que lentamente estas transmisiones empezaran a llamar la atención del público y los medios. A lo largo de estos años, artistas de la talla de Thom Yorke, Nicolas Jaar, Richie Hawtin, Jamie XX, James Blake, Erykah Badu y Nina Kraviz, han pasado por el ciclo.
Algunos hicieron historia por lo interesante de sus presentaciones; otros, como nuestra querida Grimes, han quedado en la historia por haber hecho uno de los peores DJ sets de todos los tiempos. Tan es así, que el set nunca fue publicado y hay gente juntando peticiones para que lo vuelvan a subir.
Boiler Room Argentina podrá verse en vivo desde todo el mundo por acá. | 37 |
organizations where we are not yet present, strengthening those that do exist and the bonds between us. The times that lie ahead demand concerted action and permanent solidarity between organizations, with the necessary mutual aid that potentiates concrete projects of social insertion and fronts of action, but that also amplifies our voice and political proposal at a general level. It demands equally of us greater militant rigor and political training of all our militants. We also need to develop the necessary instruments and tools to face the circumstances that are coming. Therefore, in this instance of Anarchist Days we have discussed and agreed on the following proposals: 1) Consolidating the construction processes of specific organizations.
2) Strengthening bonds of solidarity and political exchange between organizations on a daily basis, including organizations appropriation of the Anarkismo.net website, in order to spread our activities, positions and materials. This website should be a platform for launching our current and political and social project.
3) Joint work on the development of our theory and tools of analysis. There are already texts being circulated, but others can be proposed and topics to be investigated and worked on together (for example, Popular Power, Resistance, etc.) can be established.
4) Moving towards the coordination of organizations at the level of each region (Europe, South America) and establishing organizations responsible for monitoring and supporting other processes in other parts of the planet.
5) Defining general courses of action in the coming years and areas of work, as well as the necessary support from outside (for example: in the face of the advance of the extreme right in European countries, or the intensification of repression in Latin America).

In the answers here, I didn't read anything about what equal means. Some will say that === means equal and of the same type, but that's not really true. It actually means that both operands reference the same object, or in case of value types, have the same value.
So, let's take the following code:
var a = [1,2,3]; var b = [1,2,3]; var c = a; var ab_eq = (a === b); // false (even though a and b are the same type) var ac_eq = (a === c); // true
The same here:
var a = { x: 1, y: 2 }; var b = { x: 1, y: 2 }; var c = a; var ab_eq = (a === b); // false (even though a and b are the same type) var ac_eq = (a === c); // true
Or even:
var a = { }; var b = { }; var c = a; var ab_eq = (a === b); // false (even though a and b are the same type) var ac_eq = (a === c); // true
This behavior is not always obvious. There's more to the story than being equal and being of the same type.
The rule is:
For value types (numbers):
a === b returns true if a and b have the same value and are of the same type
For reference types:
a === b returns true if a and b reference the exact same object
For strings:
a === b returns true if a and b are both strings and contain the exact same characters
Strings: the special case...
Strings are not value types, but in Javascript they behave like value types, so they will be "equal" when the characters in the string are the same and when they are of the same length (as explained in the third rule)
Now it becomes interesting:
var a = "12" + "3"; var b = "123"; alert(a === b); // returns true, because strings behave like value types
But how about this?:
var a = new String("123"); var b = "123"; alert(a === b); // returns false!! (but they are equal and of the same type) | 39 |
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 21) — After publicizing a complaint which accused former Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Chair Dionisio Santiago of going on unnecessary junkets and receiving favors from an alleged narcopolitician, Malacañang stressed it never said the allegations were true.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Tuesday emphasized he did not say the allegations are gospel truths.
Roque's clarification comes a day after he provided the media a copy of the supposed complaint by the DDB Employees Union. The DDB employee undersigned in the supposed complaint has denied drafting the letter.
"I was very clear, if there are allegations in a complaint, we did not say they are the truth and that is why I understand, General Santiago was somehow hurt. But I emphasize, we have never alleged that they are gospel truth, they are allegations, which I'm sure, he can easily dispute," Roque said during a media briefing.
Roque said Santiago, who has also denied the allegations, was not fired because of the complaint.
"Hindi po siya tinanggal dahil doon sa letter complaint. Nilabas po ang letter complaint upang ipakita lamang na bagama't ang dahilan ay dahil doon sa mga sinabi sa Mega Rehab facility, eh meron na ring complaint laban kay General Santiago. Hindi po namin sinabi na katotohanan ang lahat ng sinabi ng complaint."
However, on Monday, Roque was quoted as saying, "He (Santiago) was also let go because of complaints that General Santiago was using taxpayers' money for junkets abroad... There were also complaints that General Santiago may have accepted consideration from major drug players."
Verified complaint?
It is unclear what steps were taken by the President's office to verify the complaint but Roque stressed such complaints, especially those pertaining to appointed officials who serve at the pleasure of the President, don't need to be verified for the President to consider firing them.
"It's been overtaken by events because the resignation came about," says Roque when asked if steps were taken to verify the allegations in the letter sent last October.
He added "If at all, maybe what we're stressing is perhaps there was additional displeasure because of the pendency of the complaint."
Roque says Santiago's case reflects President Duterte's zero tolerance against corruption. | 40 |
Le maire de Melun Louis Vogel a démissionné du parti Les Républicains (LR) et s'est porté candidat à l'investiture de La République en marche pour les législatives, a-t-il déclaré mercredi à l'AFP, confirmant une information de la République de Seine-et-Marne.
"J'ai rempli cet après-midi mon dossier de candidature pour une investiture En Marche! dans la première circonscription de Seine-et-Marne, celle de Melun", a annoncé M. Vogel, élu en avril 2016 à la tête du chef-lieu de la Seine-et-Marne sous l'étiquette LR.
"Je prends un risque, je dépose un dossier comme tout le monde", a ajouté l'élu, précisant avoir démissionné de LR dans la foulée.

Liverpool looks to the house of Lazio. As Il Messaggero and Radiosei claim, the Reds have targeted Wallace, the 23-year-old Brazilian defender. The current Biancocelesti man has been attracting mild interest from the Champions League finalists, and Lazio could allow the Brazilian to leave if the offer is high enough.
Off of the back of a disappointing season, Wallace played in only 17 matches this season in all competitions [Serie A TIM (13) / Coppa Italia (2) / Supercoppa (1) / Coppa Italia (1)] in the 2017/8 season. After starting strong, his performances soon began to fall after crucial mistakes, which saw the player lose his spot in the starting 11, and lose the coach Simone Inzaghi’s faith at the back. When given another opportunity to prove himself between teammates Luiz Felipe, Bastos, and Caceres, he failed and remained on the bench.
With an average match rating of 6.67, the Lazio defender had an average of 1.4 aerials won per match, a pass success percentage of 86, and 5 yellow cards – all of which in the Serie A TIM (where he managed only 13 appearances)
As a tall footballer at 191 cm, Wallace has strength in the air and is able to clear the ball quite well with his aggressiveness and defensive ability. On the downside, though an average pass success percentage of 86, the Brazilian gives possession away too easily, and looks uncomfortable in tight situations when he has the ball – something that is sure to improve with experience.
Liverpool has been on the hunt for a defender for quite some time to improve that aspect of their squad, and they finally did when they signed Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton for a hefty £75 million transfer fee. However, this transfer has paid off, as he quickly became a fan favourite scoring in his first match for the English side, and has become a rock at the back in their starting 11.
With Matip, Lovren and Klavan the only other options for that other centre-half role, many would like to see that gap filled by a new purchase and Lazio’s Wallace could be the man to do so.
Liverpool fans: how would you like to see Wallace join Klopp’s side?
Lazio fans: is it the right time to sell the defender, or should he be given another chance? | 42 |
You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain."
So it would rain.
In the time of Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam), a blind person came and requested Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) to make duā to cure him. Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked him to make wudū and then make the following duā [vi]:
اللهم إني أسألك وأتوجه إليك بنبيك محمد نبي الرحمة إني توجهت بك إلى ربي في حاجتي هذه لتقضى لي اللهم فشفعه
'Oh Allah, verily, I ask of you and I turn to you through your Prophet, Muhammad, the Prophet of mercy, (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), verily, I have turned to my Lord through you (Muhammad) so that my need be fulfilled. Oh Allah, accept his intercession on my behalf.'
It is clear from the above references of Quran and Ahadīth that tawassul is permissible. However in doing tawassul, it is important that one is making du῾ā’ to Allah and no one else.
The waseela, a good deed or pious person is a means to attract Allah’s mercy. One is not making dua to the pious person.
It is not like calling a prime-minister to reach the president. In dua we reach Allah directly and merely refer to the good deed or a pious as a means to invoke Allah’s mercy.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Netflix sigue inmersa en la producción de contenido propio y va muy por delante del resto de alternativas del mercado. Este próximo año será el año del anime en la plataforma, igual que los anteriores fueron los de la comedia y drama. Lo que nadie se esperaba era que la compañía aprovechase este idilio con la cultura japonesa para producir una nueva serie, con actores reales, pese a que los rumores iniciales situaban a Sunrise Inc. como el estudio encargado de su creación, que ahora pasa al catálogo de Netflix.
Los datos son escasos, pero la plataforma de streaming ha confirmado que el creador del anime original, Shinichiro Watanabe, será el consultor principal de la serie, para que los paralelismos entre la acción real y la animación sean correctos y agraden a todos los fans. El primer episodio está desarrollado por el escritor de Thor: Ragnarok, Christopher Lee Yost, por lo que parece que Netflix ha puesto toda la carne en el asador para que la serie esté a la altura del icono que ya representa el anime.
Guess it’s time to announce that Cowboy Bebop, the live-action series, is heading to @Netflix. pic.twitter.com/bKe0d8EKoH — NX (@NXOnNetflix) November 28, 2018
De momento, eso sí, no hay fechas para su llegada a la plataforma de streaming, pero dados los movimiento de la compañía para impulsar un gran número de contenidos de anime y cultura japonesa en 2019, como ya venido confirmado y que se ha saldado con la llegada de Neon Genesis Evangelion, todo parece indicar que será en el próximo año cuando veamos esta nueva serie de acción real de Cowboy Bebop. | 45 |

Berlin (Reuters) - Der deutsche Staatshaushalt hat 2017 wegen der guten Konjunktur und niedriger Zinskosten einen Rekordüberschuss erzielt.
Bund, Länder, Kommunen und Sozialversicherung nahmen zusammen 38,4 Milliarden Euro mehr ein als sie ausgaben, wie das Statistische Bundesamt am Donnerstag in Berlin mitteilte. Das ist der höchste Wert seit der Wiedervereinigung. Damit wurden bereits das vierte Jahr in Folge schwarze Zahlen geschrieben. Diese Summe entspricht einem Überschuss von 1,2 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsproduktes.
Grund für die positive Entwicklung ist die gute Konjunktur mit Rekordbeschäftigung und steigenden Löhnen. Dadurch legten die Staatseinnahmen um 4,2 Prozent zu, die Staatsausgaben dagegen nur um 3,4 Prozent. Rekordtiefe Zinsen sparten außerdem Milliarden an Kosten.
Experten rechnen mit anhaltenden Überschüssen. Die Ratingagentur Scope erwartet bis 2020 jeweils mit einem Plus von knapp einem Prozent, sagte ihr Experte Alvise Lennkh. Das dürfte dazu führen, dass die Staatsverschuldung 2019 erstmals seit vielen Jahren wieder unter die in den EU-Verträgen erlaubte Höchstgrenze von 60 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsproduktes fallen dürften. | 46 |
the deepest lying midfielder in Klopp's 4-3-3 formation, blocked Pablo De Blasis' volley before Christian Clemens skipped past Moreno but drilled wide. When Marko Grujic released Origi, the finish was horribly wayward.
Grujic, who had put the icing on the cake against Barcelona, hobbled off after turning his ankle but Klopp insisted it was only a minor issue.
Just before half-time it was 2-0. Jhon Cordoba burst through a gaping hole in Liverpool's backline. Matip was slow to react and couldn't get across to cover and Manninger was beaten far too easily at his near post. Simon Mignolet will sleep soundly.
Klopp made four changes at the break with Connor Randall, Kevin Stewart, Cameron Brannagan and Toni Gomes on for Alexander-Arnold, Can, Lallana and Woodburn.
That was a senior bow for young Guinea-Bissau attacker Gomes, who is highly rated by the club's Academy staff.
Teenage left-back Sam Hart also got a first run out but with Mainz so firmly in control this was hardly the ideal environment for them to showcase their potential.
Yunus Malli punished more slack defending as he found the bottom corner from 20 yards and then the unmarked Yoshinori Muto headed past Manninger.
Danny Ings' hopes of grabbing a late consolation were dashed by the offside flag.
History suggests that friendly results like this count for little.
Rafa Benitez's Liverpool were thrashed 5-0 by Klopp's Mainz 10 years ago this weekend.
Nine months later the Reds were walking out in the Champions League final in Athens - Mainz had just been relegated from the Bundesliga.
Liverpool will certainly be unrecognisable at the Emirates next Sunday. Kopites have seen enough in pre-season to simply write this off as an anomaly.
But this chastening afternoon may just serve a purpose if it focuses a few minds after the dizzy heights of humbling Barcelona.
Liverpool v Mainz: Manninger, Alexander-Arnold (Randall 45), Wisdom, Matip, Moreno (Hart 61), Can (Stewart 45), Henderson (Wijnaldum 74), Grujic (Ings 40), Lallana (Gomes 45), Woodburn (Brannagan 45), Origi (Firmino 74) | 47 |
U.S youth international Ben Lederman has decided to leave Barcelona, with sources close to the player confirming he will sign with Belgian side Gent in the coming days.
Lederman, 18, confirmed that he was cutting his ties with La Liga champions Barca, the club he joined in 2011, in a post on social media on Thursday.
"After seven years, it's time to say goodbye to the best club in the world," he wrote.
"It's been a unique and unforgettable experience at Barcelona. I want to thank all my teammates, coaches, physios, delegates and, above all, La Masia. You have all helped me improve as a footballer and as a person.
"A great spell in my life now comes to an end, but a new one begins -- it's time to keep fighting for my dream."
Hoy toca despedirme del mejor club del mundo después de 7 años, donde he podido vivir una experiencia única e inolvidable en el fcbarcelona. Quiero dar las gracias a todos mis compañeros,... https://t.co/yiG26mtss4 — Ben Lederman (@Ben_Lederman10) July 26, 2018
Lederman first joined Barca's youth academy at age 11, but his time at the club has not always been straightforward.
In 2014, he was one of nine youth players deemed to have been signed illegally by FIFA. As a result, he was told that he could no longer train or play with his Barca teammates.
However, while a number of the youngsters affected headed back to their native countries, Lederman returned to the club in 2016 after acquiring a Polish passport through a relative.
FIFA's regulations allow players aged 16 or over with a valid EU passport freedom of movement across the borders of member countries.
Lederman spent last season playing for the club's Juvenil B team (U18s) but was in and out of the starting lineup.
Therefore, he has made the decision to leave Barca and sign for Gent, where he hopes to play regular football at this important stage of his career.
Last week, he was in Belgium with his family, who have not yet decided if they will uproot from Barcelona and follow him to Gent, to finalise the deal, which will be confirmed soon. | 48 |

Police in Spain have raided a fake branch of the Vatican Bank following accusations that it was swindling huge profits from contracts signed with companies around the world.
Footage released by Spain’s National Police shows the group’s office in the seaside resort of Fuengirola near Marbella on the country’s southern coast. The Vatican shield can be seen emblazoned across the windows and chairs in the offices as well as on a luxury vehicle parked outside the property.

“As well as a lot of paperwork, agents seized a sailboat in the Fuengirola marina, several high-end cars, 64,000 euros in the main suspect's checking account, many luxury watches, technological supplies, silver ingots, point of purchase devices, a firearm with blanks and 5,000 euros in cash," Spanish police said in a statement.

The phoney bank purported to offer trade relations and advice to international companies. Catholic symbols and iconography such as statues of the Virgin Mary were placed around the office to complete the subterfuge. The Vatican Bank does not have any other outlets outside of Vatican City.
Officers arrested three Spaniards and a Colombian national in the operation. It’s claimed that a 30-year-old Spanish national presented himself as a member of the Vatican’s diplomatic corps. He also allegedly carried papers identifying him as a Cuban ambassador.

The real Vatican Bank has been no stranger to controversy itself in recent years. In 2009, a book by Giangluigi Nuzzi found that the bank facilitated the creation of fake charity accounts used for political donations, laundering and embezzlement. In 2012, four priests came under investigation for allegedly operating accounts for Mafia money-laundering operations. | 51 |
the ecological drivers and cognitive mechanisms of learning from humans.
It is highly unlikely that herring gulls are the only wild animals to use human behavioural cues in urban areas. As urbanization increases, more wild animals will come into contact with humans and anthropogenic items. There may be an increased number of incidences of individuals of certain species displaying problematic behaviour, which can create conflicts between human activity and conservation [44]. Additionally, although purposeful provisioning of wildlife may in certain cases appear to be beneficial (such as the feeding of garden birds [45]), being attracted to anthropogenic items and feeding on anthropogenic food can be harmful for wildlife (e.g. [46,47]). A more comprehensive understanding of the cues that cause wild animals to engage in interactions with humans is likely to be key in developing preventative measures that not only reduce negative encounters for humans but also potentially lessen the impact of anthropogenic items on wild animal populations.

Sources said 16 others were injured in the blast that set nearly a dozen vehicles on fire.
A car bomb blast has killed at least five civilians and wounded 16 others in northern Iraq‘s city of Tikrit, police and medical sources have said.
The car was parked near a restaurant in Tikrit, about 175km north of the capital, Baghdad. The blast set nearly a dozen vehicles on fire, police sources said on Sunday.
Three of the dead were women, sources told the AFP news agency. Tikrit’s main hospital said it had received several patients wounded in the attack.
There were no immediate claims for the attack, though the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) has claimed responsibility for several recent attacks in Iraq.
Translation: “Now a [car] bombing in Tikrit and the early reports are one martyred and five wounded.”

This month, there has been a string of bombings around Baghdad and an attack on the house of a security official in western Iraq that killed nine people.
The ISIL was forced from Tikrit in 2015. Late last year, the Iraqi forces said they had removed the armed group from its urban strongholds across the country.
Since then, the ISIL fighters are said to have switched over to bombings and launching attacks on the security forces.
{articleGUID}
The Iraqi army has said it is keeping a close eye on its border with Syria over worries that ISIL fighters may cross over to the country.
Iraqi officials estimate that at least 2,500 ISIL fighters are active in Deir Az Zor and other Syrian towns close to the Iraqi border.
“We are intensifying our intelligence gathering efforts … We are also conducting strikes and shelling against ISIL pockets,” Brigadier General Yahiyah Rasoul of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command Centre told Al Jazeera earlier this month. | 53 |

Hearts Beating on French Left as New Hope Rises.
A few weeks ago commentators were seriously contemplating that the French Parti Socialiste would reduced to near electoral oblivion in the April May Presidential elections.
Now Opinion Polls give newly elected candidate Benoît Hamon between 16 to 17 %.
From a position as the leading candidate of the Left Jean-Luc Mélenchon has gone from 15% to below 10% and looks like slipping further. (Les Echos)
The Parti Socialiste contender is still 6 points behind the pro-business centre-left Emmanuel Macron.
But with the mainstream right candidate, François Fillon flaying around in all directions in response to one of the biggest fraud scandals to have hit French Presidential candidates, Hamon is a mere 3 points lower than the champion of Les Républicains.
These polls, and the open minded forward looking left-green programme offered by Hamon, have had their effect.
First there is this call today from the Green (Europe Écologie – Les Verts, EELV ) candidate: Yannick Jadot.
Jadot has called for a dialogue to create a “common project”
Présidentielle 2017 : Jadot veut construire un “projet commun” avec Hamon. Le candidat à la présidentielle a adressé une lettre à ses militants où il explique qu’un dialogue doit être entamé.
Second, the leader of the French Communist Party, Pierre Laurent, has declared that a “grand alliance” of the whole left, is “not impossible”.
Le patron du PCF soutient toujours Mélenchon mais, après la victoire de Benoît Hamon, n’abandonne pas l’idée d’un nouveau contrat majoritaire à gauche.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the Rally, La France Insoumise, has so far demanded that Hamon chooses between supporting those Socialist party representatives that Mélenchon disagrees with, and….Jean-Luc Mélenchon (Jean-Luc Mélenchon demande à Benoît Hamon de choisir « entre eux et nous ») | 55 |
Renzo Gracie wants to celebrate the landmark 50th birthday in style. March 11th 2017 will mark Renzo’s 50th, and he’d like it to be a fists blazing event.
He hasn’t been active in MMA since 2010 knock out he suffered by the hands of Matt Hughes however the veteran still has a contract with the UFC so a come back might not be so far off.
He recently talked to AG Fighting when he was in Las Vegas and made his intentions known:
” I just lost 12kg, I’m training a lot with this whole slew of kids and I’m willing to go out in a new fight. I can’t stand still. I’m 49 years old and I still have a contract with the UFC. My will is to fight at the end of this year or early next year. I want to celebrate my 50 years beating or taking down” -Renzo said
Renzo currently holds a 7th degree black belt in jiu-jitsu and he’s been active in MMA since 1992. His professional record stands at 13 wins, 7 losses and a single draw.
Some time ago he posted something he’s said before:
May life now and then bring to my lips the sweet taste of my own blood… So I will know that I really lived… Not just existed.”
“May life now and then bring to my lips the sweet taste of my own blood… So I will know that I really lived… Not just existed.” Renzo Gracie????????????????? “Que a vida às vezes me traga o gosto doce do meu próprio sangue a tocar meus lábios… Para que assim eu possa ter a certeza de que realmente vivi… Não somente existi.” A photo posted by Renzo (@renzograciebjj) on Apr 4, 2016 at 1:36pm PDT
Bad boy of bjj is nothing if not temperamental but his good heart and his never-ending legacy make him both loved and feared. For Renzo, anything less than a submission is unsatisfactory. It’s no secret that Renzo is also an amazing coach. His students include John Danaher, Matt Serra and Gunnar Nelson, to name a few. | 56 |
but he does it by exemplifying the Daryl Morey/Mike D'Antoni systems. Paul, on the other hand, was the security fail-safe for what happened when that system glitched. Paul's ability to run an offense amid chaos and create shots from the midrange was unique on the team, and without his leadership, toughness and feel, the Rockets were unable to hold on when the Warriors turned up the heat.

Durant is Golden State's iso warrior. Much like Paul was the fail-safe for when the Rockets' way went wrong, Durant is the guy who the Dubs can go to when they need a bucket outside of their usual offense.
He's the team's leading scorer, and gives them a weapon that can match up with LeBron James one-on-one while the rest of the team destroys the rest of the Cavs.
9. Al Horford | F/C | Boston Celtics
Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images
Horford was the veteran leader and most consistent high performer for the Celtics in this postseason. He led them in all composite box score measurements as well as postseason impact as measured by net rating.
Horford's versatility, ability to play inside and out on both offense and defense and quiet leadership were hallmarks of a team that came within points of dethroning James despite the loss of their two best veteran players (Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward) before the postseason even began.
10. Jayson Tatum | F | Boston Celtics
Adam Glanzman/Getty Images
Tatum makes his debut on this list as well, dethroning Terry Rozier as the second Celtic.
Tatum led the Celtics in scoring in the postseason, scoring inside and out, early and in the clutch, and setting himself up as an apparent franchise cornerstone in the very near future. As LeBron said after the game, when watching him this postseason it was clear that he has stardom written all over him.

account of the EC clashes with those judgments and intuitions, that gives us a pro tanto reason to reject it and, conversely, being able to accommodate them is a point in its favor (Sher 2009: 17; Clarke 2014: 162; Schnall 2004: 308; FitzPatrick 2008: 610; Peels 2011: 578; Montmarquet 1999: 845; Arpaly 2015: 155). Other philosophers reject this “methodological conservatism” (Levy 2017) and take the opposite line of giving priority to what they take to be the correct theory of responsibility, even if it implies that a good many of our ordinary judgments and intuitions are misguided (Rosen 2004: 296; Zimmerman 2008: 205). In order to break the stalemate in the theory vs. intuitions dispute, some have advanced an error theory of intuitions of blameworthiness in cases of unwitting wrongdoing which, if correct, would entail that failing to accommodate them shouldn’t be hold against an account of the EC (Levy 2017; Talbert 2017b); while others have offered empirical evidence to support the very same intuitions (Murray et al. forthcoming). Yet other philosophers have presented empirical evidence concerning ordinary intuitions of praise-/blameworthiness in cases of moral ignorance that appears to support the quality-of-will theorists’ view that moral knowledge isn’t required for either (Faraci & Shoemaker 2014). Thus, one way of settling the debate on the EC is to pursue this discussion on the preeminence, reliability, and content of ordinary intuitions about responsibility.
Concerning the second criterion, it was noted at the end of section 3.3 that the disagreement between quality-of-will theorists and the rest is partially grounded on competing conceptions of responsibility, and this suggests that settling the debate on the EC partly depends on how this broader dispute is resolved. Some philosophers think that it can be shown that one conception is the only correct one (Levy 2005; A. Smith 2012), but the consensus seems to be that the different conceptions are all valid, since each of them captures different aspects of our responsibility practices (Watson 1996; Shoemaker 2011; Zimmerman 2015). If the latter view is correct, it’s entirely possible that certain epistemic requirements apply to some types of responsibility but not to others (Mason 2015; Zimmerman 2017) and, consequently, it might well be the case that there are different EC depending on the type of responsibility we focus on. | 58 |
On Friday, a Turkish court ruled that American pastor Andrew Brunson will be released from prison and sentenced to time served.
Agence France-Press (AFP) broke the story. “Turkey: Lifting of the house arrest and travel ban of Pastor Brunson,” AFP tweeted.
Turquie : levée de l'assignation à résidence et de l'interdiction de voyager du pasteur #Brunson (#AFP) — Agence France-Presse (@afpfr) October 12, 2018
As the news broke, President Donald Trump tweeted, “Working very hard on Pastor Brunson!”
Working very hard on Pastor Brunson! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2018
Trump later celebrated the news in a follow-up tweet. “PASTOR BRUNSON JUST RELEASED. WILL BE HOME SOON!” the president declared.
PASTOR BRUNSON JUST RELEASED. WILL BE HOME SOON! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2018
The news came after Trump officials secured a secret deal with Turkey regarding Brunson’s release, two years after he was arrested. The deal reportedly involves easing economic sanctions on Turkey.
Trump personally called upon Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to release Brunson in July, after the pastor was denied release in a trial hearing. Turkish authorities had charged him with terrorism.
According to reports on Friday, the Turkish court sentenced him to time served and ordered his immediate release.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, attended Brunson’s hearing and congratulated President Trump on the release.
“The prayers of thousands were answered today when Pastor Brunson was released by the Turkish government and told he could go home to the United States,” Perkins said in a statement. “Those prayers combined with the unwavering resolve of President Trump, Vice President Pence, Secretary Pompeo and Ambassador Brownback brought tangible help to Pastor Brunson and hope to those around the globe who are being persecuted because of their faith.”

as a bridge to our first noisy song called “The Evil That Men Do.” And we started doing this thing occasionally, if we were pushed too far, we would play basically noise for as long as we felt like it. This night, Georgia came back from being mad at me and I said, “Alright, fuck the set list, this is what we’re going to do.”
For the first three minutes, it’s just a very relatively gentle folk rock song, so there was no sign of what was about to happen for a good five minutes. And then all hell broke loose, and we would not stop playing feedback. It was essentially an empty club, but people were trying to find a way to unplug the band and we were fending them off. The promoter came up to me while we were playing, apologizing for everything. It was just nuts. And when it ended, there were one or two people who thought it was fantastic, but mostly people were incensed and screaming at us. At some point I’d gone outside, probably lightheaded from the altitude and the pretty heavy emotional experience we’d just gone through and somebody, who I don’t even think was there, he must have been listening, spoke really slowly and thoughtfully and he goes, “That was the best thing I’ve ever heard. You are as good as the Eagles. You are better than Ace Frehley.”

ODENKIRK: Well, we’re working on it. I can’t wait to share it with everybody. It will come in August, I don’t know when exactly.
KAPLAN: Our excitement about your career has not begun to wear off.
ODENKIRK: Thank you. I’m just doing what you’re doing, trying to make something interesting and to surprise myself. That’s all I ever do.

Iran Possibly Announce a State Cryptocurrency: A Blow on US Sanctions
The Islamic state is going to regain the confidence of its citizens which was shuddered due to the unfair US sanctions. The country is not going to sit quietly and bear the incapacitated economic surroundings that Trumps government rule has tried to impose. Iranian government probably coming up with its first state-backed cryptocurrency. According to the Qatar based international media outlet Aljazeera on Jan. 29.
Also Read: In 2019, Investors Might Choose Gold Over Bitcoin: Jan Van Eck
The Iranian cryptocurrency as claimed by many is going to subside the effects of the sanctions on the Iranian financial institutions to conduct transactions globally. Since the middle of 2018, Iran was facing issues because the Trumps government had created and imposed certain rules against it claiming “malign activities” being carried out by the state. The shocking sanctions followed in November when few Iranian banks got banned from Swift to discontinue the transaction services of import and exports payment exchange and left them with other alternative money exchange facilitators. Swift is a the Belgian-based global messaging system that facilitates cross-border payments.
The law resulted in Iranian people helpless and prohibited from the Swift payment system to make and receive a business deal for foreign trade conducts. After analyzing the after effects from the economic front the government decided to launch its own cryptocurrency where cross-border transactions can be carried out without the need of any approval and a sidestep to save the country which is tried to be damaged by the inappropriate US sanctions.
Reportedly, the announcement of digital currency can be made at the annual two-day Electronic Banking and Payment Systems conference themed “blockchain revolution” which is taking place in Tehran on Jan. 29.

The report suggested that the state-backed digital currency may be rolled out in two phases. In the domestic crypto space, Rial would be the 1st crypto which supposedly is exercised for transactions between Iranian commercial banks and other internal active institutions. However, it would be accessible by the citizens at a later phase with a view to help people in making the payments to avail local good and services.
It indicates that this digital currency would be for internal use in the country and not directly exchangeable between Iran and other nations. So to say as of now citizens of Iran is waiting for the green light which the government has already signaled but not yet activated. | 61 |

Unkarin pääministeri Viktor Orbán sanoo unkarilaislehden haastattelussa, että Unkarin suhteet Yhdysvaltoihin voivat parantua merkittävästi Donald Trumpin presidenttikaudella. Orbánin mukaan Trump kertoi hänelle puhelinkeskustelussa Unkaria kohtaan tuntemastaan arvostuksesta.
– Puhuin puhelimessa Yhdysvaltain seuraavan presidentin kanssa, ja voin sanoa, että asemamme on parantunut huomattavasti, Orbán sanoi Vilaggazdasag-talouslehden mukaan.
– Hän kutsui minut Washingtoniin, ja sanoin hänelle, että en ole käynyt siellä pitkään aikaan, koska minua on kohdeltu kuin mustaa lammasta. Siihen hän vastasi nauraen: niin minuakin.
Orbán ilmoitti heinäkuussa tukevansa Trumpia Yhdysvaltain presidentinvaaleissa, ja hän oli myös yksi ensimmäisistä Trumpia onnitelleista valtionjohtajista.
Barack Obaman presidenttikaudella Yhdysvallat on syyttänyt vuonna 2010 valtaan noussutta Orbánia siitä, että tämä vie Unkaria kauemmas demokratiasta rajoittamalla muun muassa median ja kansalaisjärjestöjen toimintaa.
Orbánin johtama Unkari on ollut äänekäs EU:n pakolaispolitiikan kriitikko. Unkari vastustaa muun muassa pakolaiskiintiöitä ja turvapaikanhakijoiden siirtoja EU-maiden välillä.

're soft (better overcook than undercook!).
Drain the potatoes and let them cool down until cold enough to handle. Then mash the potatoes. I used a potato ricer for that.
Add the salt and flour and knead it with your hands until a smooth dough forms. You can add more flour here if you feel like it needs more, otherwise, I'd recommend breaking off a small part of the dough and make a test round.
Bring a large pot with water to a boil and add in the test-gnocchi. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes. Once it swims on the surface, it's ready. Try it. If your test-gnocchi is too mushy and soft, add more flour to the dough and knead again until incorporated. If you're happy with the fluffiness and consistency, you can quarter your potato dough and roll it into a rope on a floured surface. Then cut them into individual pieces.
Transfer the gnocchi into the boiling water (work in batches) and let them cook until they swim. Use a skimming spoon to drain them and transfer them to a large saucepan. Repeat for the rest. Instructions for the sauce For the sauce, I simply mixed the tomato puree, salt, pepper, and dried oregano and poured it over the gnocchi in the saucepan and heated it up. I sprinkled fresh oregano and nutritional yeast flakes on top and served it with a leafy green salad. Enjoy! Notes Can you freeze gnocchi? Absolutely! After boiling them, drain them, rinse them under cold water, let them cool off, fill them into a ziplock bag or freezer-safe glass container and freeze for up to a couple of months. How to reheat frozen gnocchi? If you want to use your frozen gnocchi, boil them in a pot of water again until they float on top (make sure to try one gnocchi so that they are not frozen in the middle), then pan-fry or add the sauce. They are good as new!

São de cidadãos chineses os 39 corpos encontrados dentro de um contentor de um camião encontrado em Essex, no Sul de Inglaterra.
A polícia britânica está a interrogar o condutor do veículo, Mo Robinson, detido na quarta-feira, e realizou buscas em duas moradas na Irlanda do Norte, de onde este é natural.
As buscas tiveram lugar na quarta-feira à noite no condado de Armagh, perto de Portadown. A BBC acredita que as moradas estão, de alguma forma, relacionadas com Robinson, de 25 anos – suspeito de homicídio, continua a ser interrogado pelas autoridades.
Na quarta-feira, a polícia britânica encontrou trinta e nove corpos (38 adultos e um adolescente) no referido camião, abandonado no Parque Industrial de Waterglade, no Essex, localizado a cerca de 30 quilómetros a Leste de Londres. Suspeita-se que as vítimas sejam migrantes e que pode estar em causa um caso de tráfico de seres humanos.

There are only a handful few who can manage to roast Kapil Sharma and Ajay Devgn is one of them. On a recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, the actor came visiting to promote his film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior with wife and actor Kajol. During the episode, host Kapil tried to crack a few smart ones at Ajay’s expense but had to eat his words.
Kapil counted down the many talents of Ajay, including acting, production, direction, voice overs, and how he even owns a few theatres. “Sir, we had heard the motto...sabka saath, sabka vikaas (standing with everyone, progressing with everyone). Have you made it your own motto: apna saath, apna vikaas (by myself, my progress),” Kapil asked the actor.
Also read: Kangana Ranaut reacts to Saif Ali Khan’s ‘no concept of India before British’ comment
In his reply, Ajay said: “Mujhe ek baat bata, tere 103 episode hogae. Tune kisiko idhar aane diya? (Tell me something, you’ve shot 103 episodes. Did you let anyone else come here?),” Ajay joked, leaving everyone laughing.

Archana Puran Singh cracked up at his joke and add that Kapil takes away much of what they make through the show. Kapil, feeling cornered, said, “Fine! Come take whatever you want! I’m father to a little daughter, I have to run my home,” he said.
Kapil also played a game with Kajol and Ajay, asking them questions about their married life: who spends more time in bathroom, who is more choosy about food and more. Watch the clip here:
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior stars Ajay as Subedar Taanaji Malusare. It also stars Saif Ali Khan, Sharad Kelkar, and Neha Sharma in pivotal roles. The movie, which hit theatres on January 10, has collected over Rs 183 crores at the box office.

Disturbances were reported in the City centre, Place de la Bourse, venue of the Christmas market under construction. Police say several cars were set on fire and shops looted.
Some 22 police officers were injured and riot police with water cannon were needed to disperse the mob. Calm was restored two hours after the violence erupted.

UPDATE: On December 20, 2017 FIFA dared make a football prediction that Moroccan fans would be Numerous in 2018 World Cup. The soccer governing body took to its Facebook and Twitter accounts to express its pride for Moroccan fans, who are going to be “among the most numerous at the World Cup.”

The association also encouraged the fans to buy more tickets in order to attend the competition.
The Atlas Lions fans had an eminent role in their team’s qualification to the world tournament. During the World Cup qualifier games, the supporters showed great respect, confidence and support for their team in order to boost their enthusiasm and determination to qualify for the World Cup.
The fans were highly lauded for their support by the Moroccan team, its coach and the FRMF, the official Royal Moroccan Football Federation. | 68 |
Donald Trump took to his social media platform of choice on Wednesday to launch a fiery tirade against a former New York Attorney General, his successor and the incoming AG, as well as the Clintons.
Trump bemoaned on Twitter that he was "getting slammed by [Governor of New York Andrew] Cuomo and the Dems" in a civil lawsuit against his personal charity, the Trump Foundation.
New York's outgoing attorney general, Barbara Underwood, announced on Tuesday that Trump was shutting down his embattled foundation amid a lawsuit that accuses him of using the charity's money to settle legal disputes for his private business.
The POTUS said that Underwood "does little else but rant, rave and politic [sic]" against him, conceding that he closed the foundation to avoid a conflict of interest.
The Trump Foundation has done great work and given away lots of money, both mine and others, to great charities over the years — with me taking NO fees, rent, salaries etc. Now, as usual, I am getting slammed by Cuomo and the Dems in a long running civil lawsuit started by….. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 19 декабря 2018 г.
…sleazebag AG Eric Schneiderman, who has since resigned over horrific women abuse, when I wanted to close the Foundation so as not to be in conflict with politics. Shady Eric was head of New Yorkers for Clinton, and refused to even look at the corrupt Clinton Foundation…… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 19 декабря 2018 г.
He added that the investigation into his charity was started by Eric Schneiderman, New York's attorney general from 2011-2018, whom he referred to as a "sleazebag" and "Shady Eric". Trump went on to accuse Schneiderman, who resigned in May over allegations of physical abuse from four women, of turning a blind eye on the "corrupt Clinton Foundation".
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly accused Hillary Clinton of "pay to play" during her time as secretary of state. He also claimed in a Fox News interview in December 2016 that "the Clintons set up a business to profit from public office".
Donations to Clinton's charity reportedly plummeted following her defeat in the 2016 election, triggering concerns that this decrease could reflect 'pay to play' activity, suggesting hefty amounts of cash were donated in exchange for favours from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. | 69 |
Ruby adds Array#intersection method
1 minute read
Taking cue from Array#union and Array#difference methods added to Ruby 2.6, Ruby has now added Array#intersection method which is an alias for Array#&.
The purpose behind these additions is to make the methods more clean and readable than their operator counterparts.
Lets take a look at what each method does,
Array#intersection
The Array#intersection method returns a new array containing elements common to both arrays. The order is preserved from original array. Since its a set operation, the resultant array has unique elements.
[ 1, 1, 3, 5 ]. intersection ([ 3, 2, 1 ]) #=> [ 1, 3 ] [ "a" ]. intersection #=> [ "a" ]
You can also pass multiple arrays as arguments to the method,
[ "a", "b", "z" ]. intersection ([ "a", "b", "c" ], [ "b" ]) # => [ "b" ]
Array#union
Another set operation, Array#union returns a new array by joining other arrays with itself, excluding any duplicates. The order is preserved from given arrays.
[ "a", "b", "c" ]. union ( [ "c", "d", "a" ] ) #=> [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ] [ "a" ]. union #=> [ "a" ]
Like Array#intersection, you can pass multiple arrays as arguments to the method,
[ 1, 2, "a" ]. union ([ 1, 27, "a" ], [ 2, "I" ]) #=> [ 1, 2, "a", 27, "I" ]
Array#difference
As its name suggests, Array#difference returns a new array with items from receiver after removing items that appear in both receiver and array given as arguments. The order is preserved from original array.
[ 1, 4, 7, 8, "a", :t ]. difference ([ 4, :t ]) #=> [ 1, 7, 8, "a" ]
Again, multiple arrays as arguments can be passed to the method,
[ 1, 4, 7, 8, "a", :t ]. difference ([ 4, :t ], [ "a" ]) #=> [ 1, 7, 8 ] | 70 |
Det var en noget overrasket villaejer i Taastrup, der i forbindelse med nedgravning af en trampolin fandt ni store, 5500 år gamle flintøkser i sin have.
De måler omkring 30 cm, hvoraf nogle er fint slebne og andre uforarbejdede,
De lange økser er fra den såkaldte Tragtbægerkultur eller begyndelsen af Bondestenalderen. De har aldrig været brugt som økser, men er udelukkende produceret for at ofre dem til den tids guder.
På dette tidspunkt i Bondestenalderen var vi begyndt at fælde skoven og opdyrke jorden og flintøkserne, som har et mellemeuropæisk forbillede, blev produceret lokalt og var i meget høj kurs. Skriver Kroppedal Museum i en pressemeddelelse.
Flinten var et værdifuldt råmateriale og sjældne gange finder arkæologerne flere store økser, der er gravet ned som offer til guderne. For det har var vigtigt for bondestenalderens mennesker at stå sig godt med de højere magter.
Taastrup-borgeren gjorde det helt rigtige og kontaktede Kroppedal Museum, som straks tog på besøg på fundstedet.
De ni økser vil nu blive indleveret til Nationalmuseet for at blive Danefæ-behandlet, men inden vil de i en kort periode blive udstillet på Kroppedal Museum fra den 14. november til den 13. december.
Efter aftale med den heldige haveejer vil arkæologer fra Kroppedal Museum snarest nænsomt undersøge om haven i Taastrup skulle rumme andre fund. | 71 |
Name: Pablo Picasso
Full Name: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de Los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso
Designation: World famous Spanish artist and sculptor
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth
^Quoted by the renowned and legendary artist of all times – Pablo Picasso. One of the most well-known names in the modern art, Picasso was widely famous for his distinct style and an eye for unique art. During his lifetime, he had managed to create an everlasting impact on the world of art, like no one. He is the creator of over 20,000 paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and drawings. No doubt, he is renowned universally as the most influential artists.
The Twenty-Three words long name
A prominent part of the list of people with incredibly long names ever. And why not? Pablo’s full name is 23 words and 103 characters long. Wondering how his parents took this weird decision of keeping such a long name? In reality, he got this name when he was baptized. All the words in his name have a sign of some kind; derived from a list of various saints and family members.
Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de Los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso
Pablo – Uncle Canon Pablo
Diego – Paternal Grandfather Diego Ruiz y Almoguera
Jose- Father José Ruiz Blasco,
Francisco de Paula – Grandmother Francisco de Paula Picasso Guardeño
Juan Nepomuceno – Godfather and cousin Juan Nepomuceno Blasco Barroso
Crispín Crispiniano- Two (shoemaker) saints who shared their feast day along with Pablo’s birthday
María de Los Remedios- Godmother María de Los Remedios Alarcón Herrera
de la Santísima Trinidad- Meaning Holy Trinity
Picasso – Mother Maria Picasso y Lopez
Apart from this, when Pablo was young, he used to address himself as Pablo Ruiz. Later on, he changed it to P.R. Picasso; settling with Picasso as his signature in the end.

Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary Jeremy Hunt has been filmed standing to attention for the Islamic call to prayer within the UK Foreign Office at Whitehall.
A video of the prayer, conducted last Thursday, was uploaded to social media by Fawaz Al Khalifa, the Bahraini regime’s ambassador to the United Kingdom.
“The voice of the call to prayer rings in the foreign ministry during the iftar ceremony of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Lord, Tariq Ahmad, Minister of State and Special envoy for freedom of religion,” he said in the tweet.
Political commentator David Vance also shared the video saying, “Alert! The Conservative party appointed an unelectable Pakistani [Tariq Ahmad] as a Foreign Minister, and he has promptly turned the Foreign Office into a mosque with a call to prayer. They think this will somehow ‘enhance’ our image abroad. Do you agree?”
Vance later added, “To all those asking whether this is real, I’m afraid it is. This video was filmed within the UK Foreign Office on Whitehall, last Thursday (23-May-2019) with Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt present. Our politicians are allowing penetration of our institutions at the highest level.”

Mark Steyn once said, “A big chunk of Western civilization, consciously or otherwise, has given the impression that it’s dying to surrender to somebody, anybody. Reasonably enough, Islam figures: Hey, why not us?”
And that just about sums up the attitudes of most Western politicians.

pick whatever one would like. It must be put up against spontanitism, to hunt for popular and topical media pieces for a bark of attention. It must be put up against the tendency of playing the “privilege game” to find the least privileged, as if this was to provide any new insight on its own.
We must base ourselves on Mao Zedong’s class analysis, in his formulation of the general line for the revolution in China, in the mass line and his line of serving the people. We must take the starting point in the ideal that communists must swim among the masses like fish swim in the water. And we must take as our starting point Lenin’s line of going to the deepest and broadest of masses, that is to the normal proletarians and especially the poorest proletarians. This is a line of crucial strategic importance. It is not moralism, but marxism, which lay the basis for our class standpoint, and it must guide us in all political questions.
“Our stand is that of the proletariat and of the masses. For members of the Communist Party, this means keeping to the stand of the Party, keeping to Party spirit and Party policy.” – Mao Zedong

In 2013, Valve CEO Gabe Newell offered some sage advice to businesses on how to handle feedback from online communities.
He explained that it’s impossible to win against the internet, so it’s best not to fight it.
These days, almost every company you can think of has an online presence. But not every company likes being online – some don’t like communicating with fans or customers, or taking their feedback or suggestions.
But ignoring the internet faithful would be a big mistake, according to Valve CEO Gabe Newell.
Back in January 2013, the 55-year-old president and co-founder of Valve, which runs the world’s most popular online store for distributing PC games, went on The Nerdist podcast to dish about the video game industry. But his advice about interacting with fans and communities on the internet rings true for almost every business across all industries (as paraphrased by Mr_Pickle on Reddit):
You have to stop thinking that you’re in charge and start thinking that you’re having a dance. We used to think we’re smart […] but nobody is smarter than the internet. […] One of the things we learned pretty early on is ‘Don’t ever, ever try to lie to the internet – because they will catch you. They will de-construct your spin. They will remember everything you ever say for eternity.’
You can see really old school companies really struggle with that. They think they can still be in control of the message. […] So yeah, the internet (in aggregate) is scary smart. The sooner people accept that and start to trust that that’s the case, the better they’re gonna be in interacting with them.
Newell knows the power of the internet all too well. In 2015, he and his company Valve were on the receiving end of the internet’s backlash when his company teamed up with Bethesda, maker of the popular game “Skyrim,” ended a joint venture after just four days because of strong consumer backlash.

"Me ootasime, et ümberpaigutatud inimeste arv Süüria lõunaosas ulatub 200 000 inimeseni, aga see on rekordajaga ületanud juba 270 000 inimese piiri," teatas ÜRO pagulasameti juht Jordaanias Mohammad Hawari.
Olukord halvenes pärast seda, kui Süüria sõjavägi alustas kaks nädalat tagasi Venemaa toel rünnakut mässuliste aladele.
ÜRO teatas eelmisel nädalal, et intensiivse pommitamise eest on pidanud pagema 160 000 inimest. Paljud, kes on põgenenud sõdimise eest Daraa ja Quneitra provintsides, on otsinud peavarju Iisraeli ja Jordaania piiril asuvates külades.
Mõlemad riigid on juba öelnud, et ei ava põgenikele oma piire, mistõttu on ÜRO hoiatanud humanitaarkatastroofi eest. Jordaania on sõja algusest saadik võtnud vastu üle poole miljoni ümberpaigutatud süürlase.
Konflikti eskaleerumisest saadik on tapetud üle 130 tsiviilisiku, teatas Süüria Inimõiguste Vaatluskeskus.
Daraa ja Quneitra on olnud aasta aega üsna rahulikud, tänu deeskaleerimisleppele opositsiooni toetava USA ja Jordaania ning valitsust toetava Venemaa vahel. President Bashar al-Assad otsustas aga haarata provintside üle täieliku kontrolli pärast Ida-Ghouta regiooni mässuliste alistamist aprillis. | 76 |
Hanya di Indonesia, yang memiliki paket internet Rp45 ribuan.

VIVA.co.id – Sekjen Pusat Kajian Kebijakan dan Regulasi Telekomunikasi ITB, Muhammad Ridwan Effendi berpendapat, tarif internet Telkomsel dan operator lainnya di Indonesia tidak lebih mahal, jika dibanding negara-negara lain di dunia.
Pernyataan ini, ia ungkapkan dalam menanggapi protes hacker yang meretas situs resmi Telkomsel dan mengeluhkan mahalnya tarif internet operator tersebut.
"Tarif data internet Telkomsel masih sangat wajar. Bahkan, kita masih termurah di dunia sesudah India," ujar Ridwan, yang sempat dua periode menjabat sebagai anggota Badan Regulasi Telekomunikasi Indonesia (BRTI) kala dihubungi VIVA.co.id, Jumat 28 April 2017.
Klaim itu disampaikan olehnya, berdasarkan pengalamannya dengan operator di luar negeri.
"Di kita, ada paket yang Rp45 ribu. Di luar coba, di Spanyol Rp500 ribu, di Amerika Rp520 ribu. Kemarin di Cordoba, saya kena 30 Euro untuk paket yang sama. Untuk tarif voice relatif sama, 10 sen per menit. Sekitar Rp1.700 rupiah per menit. Sementara, kalau di Inggris, sekitar 15 sen Poundsterling per menit, atau Rp3.000 per menit," ujarnya.
Menurutnya, tarif voice, atau percakapan suara di luar negeri, rata-rata masih lebih tinggi dua kali lipat. Bahkan, tarif data bisa mencapai 10 kali lipat lebih mahal dibanding operator di Indonesia. | 77 |

La gaffe di Seehofer
Tanto per rendere la discussione più serena, ci si è messa pure una gaffe del ministro dell'Interno tedesco, Horst Seehofer, impegnato in una difficile campagna elettorale nella sua Baviera, dove domenica la sua Csu - la gamba locale della Cdu di Angela Merkel - rischia un'emorragia di voti a favore dei nazionalisti di Afd. Nel tentativo di fare una battuta, Seehofer ha dichiarato lunedì, durante un comizio, che "la Baviera governò la Grecia per un po', forse sarebbe stato meglio se non fosse stata una cosa temporanea". Prevedibili le reazioni inviperite suo social network ellenici.

Il ministro si riferiva al regno di Ottone di Grecia (secondogenito del re di Baviera, Ludwig I), che dal 1832 al 1862 sedette sul trono del neonato Regno di Grecia, sorto una volta terminato il dominio ottomano sulla penisola. Deposto e costretto alla fuga, fu rimpiazzato da un altro sovrano straniero, il danese Giorgio I, che verrà poi ucciso nel 1913 dall'anarchico Alexandros Schinas.

A unique seal impression found half a century ago in the western Galilee bears the oldest-known depiction of music ever found in Israel, according to a new interpretation of the find.
Archaeologists now believe the scene shows the musical part of a ritual dating back 5,000 years, of the "sacred marriage" between the Mesopotamian king and a goddess, whose role would have been played by a priestess.
Found in Early Bronze Age ruins in Beit Haemek in the 1970s, the impression was made using a cylinder seal rolled along the surface of clay before it was fired, creating repeating designs. It shows two standing women and one sitting, who is playing a musical instrument that is, apparently, a lyre.
"We identified it as a lyre by searching through artworks and observing the remains of actual lyres found in Mesopotamia," Dr. Yitzhak Paz told Haaretz. As for the identification of the scene as part of the sacred marriage ritual between the king and goddess, while that is an interpretation, it too is based on precedent.
The ceremony would have been a long affair that included a banquet that featured music and dancing. Following that, the king and goddess would "meet" and, it is believed, consummate their "marriage".
"This is the first time it is definitely possible to identify a figure playing an instrument on a seal impression from the third millennium BCE," the Israel Antiquities Authority stated. Other "cultic" impressions from that era depict dancing figures or feasting in which men and women are shown facing each other, in the rite just before a sexual encounter, the IAA says.
Many seal impressions from the Early Bronze Age portray the sacred marriage rite, suggests Prof. Pierre de Miroschedji of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, though this is the only one found at Beit Haemek. Many other seal impressions were found at the site but they contain the usual geometric forms, says Paz.
Archaeologists Dr. Yitzhak Paz, Dr. Ianir Milevski and Nimrod Getzov of the Israel Antiquities Authority are presenting their findings at a Thursday symposium entitled "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll" on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The discovery had been made during an archaeological survey in the Western Galilee in the 1970s, by Dr. Rafi Frankel. | 83 |
The headquarters of the neo-fascist Italian party CasaPound in Trento, northern Italy, has been bombed. It comes days after the parliamentary elections, which saw huge gains for the right-wing Northern League party.
Residents of Via Marighetto, the street on which CasaPound’s office is located, were woken by the blast at around 4:30 am on Wednesday. No-one was injured by the explosion, reportedly a home-made device, though the entrance to the building was damaged. A slogan was also found painted at the scene: “The only useful vote – anti-fascism.” However, the message was not accompanied by the symbol of any far-left group.
Trento, bomba contro la sede di CasaPound. Antifascismo militante rivendica ed esulta. pic.twitter.com/Eos4bFbhmt — CasaPound Italia (@CasaPoundItalia) March 7, 2018
An investigation is ongoing into Wednesday’s incident but the head of CasaPound Trento, Filippo Castaldini, has vowed the group will continue its political activities. Founded in 2003, CasaPound takes its name from the American fascist sympathizer and poet Ezra Pound, who moved to Italy and supported dictator Benito Mussolini in WWII. Its Trento headquarters have been targeted before – there was another explosion in March 2014, though again no one was injured.

The bombing comes in the wake of Italy’s 2018 parliamentary elections, which saw the right-wing Northern League party make huge gains on a Eurosceptic, anti-immigration platform. Opponents accuse the Northern League and its leader, Matteo Salvini, of fanning the flames of racism and xenophobia in Italy.
Italy has long-standing tensions between fascists and anti-fascists, dating from the era of Mussolini. The “Years of Lead” in the 1970s saw both far-left and far-right militants carry out bombings and kidnappings across the country. More recently in the run-up to the election, street fighting broke out between Antifa demonstrators and police in the city of Genoa after the latter wouldn’t let the former confront a rally being held by CasaPound. | 84 |
er gode. Dette er dog ikke tilfældet med Somalia, mener hun:
»Vi elsker vores land, og hvis der var fred, så gik vi selv, uden at Danmark sagde det. Men når der er krig i så lang tid, så vil menneskene blive nogle uden uddannelse, og hvis man vokser op i det område, så bliver man en del af Al-Shabaab.«
Raida supplerer: »Al-Shabaab dræber alle dem, der gerne vil genopbygge landet.«
Mens Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol i 2011 fastslog, at den blotte tilstedeværelse i udvalgte områder af Somalia ville udgøre en alvorlig risiko, har nyere afgørelser peget på bedre forhold i landet. Det førte til en lovændring under SR-regeringen i 2015, som udlændinge- og integrationsminister Inger Støjberg (V) siden har fulgt op på ved at igangsætte en gennemgang af flere end 1.200 somalieres midlertidige opholdstilladelser.
I øjeblikket får flere hundrede somaliere afslag på en forlængelse af deres opholdstilladelse. I 2017 og i 2018 til og med oktober har 516 somaliere med asyl fået inddraget eller fået afslag på forlængelse af opholdstilladelsen. I samme tidsrum har 412 familiesammenførte somaliere mistet opholdstilladelse, viser tal fra Udlændinge- og Integrationsministeriet. Udlændingestyrelsen oplyser, at det hovedsageligt er somaliere, der har opholdt sig i Danmark i mindre end fem år, der bliver udvist. | 85 |

#ENTREVISTA | James Story, encargado de Negocios de la Oficina Externa de Estados Unidos en Venezuela, expresó que si hay violencia el #16Nov será responsabilidad de Maduro y los militares https://t.co/7jjT79V8Yo — El Pitazo (@ElPitazoTV) November 14, 2019
The statements open the way not only to a new cycle of pressure against the Venezuelan military corps, but to possible false flag operations that could be being tested for an artificial uprising of Venezuelan military and police.
These test balloons could serve as a pretext for some triggering event that opens a new round of economic sanctions and threats of military intervention, and, continuing with speculation, depending on their magnitude, making possible the insertion of foreign mercenary components, taking advantage of the level of involvement of, for example, a Colombian paramilitary group, such as Los Rastrojos, at the decisive moments of the “Guaidó Plan”.
President Maduro ordered the deployment of the Bolivarian National Militia to reinforce the work of patrolling and protection of public order. The president asked to reform the law of the FANB to grant constitutional rank to the Militia, since he announced the strengthening of his operational and logistical readiness.
Faced with the intense manifestation of public signs and messages that see an automatic continuity between the Bolivian tragedy and the destiny of Venezuela and Nicaragua, that is the message sent by the Bolivarian government. Outwardly, the content of it is coheres with the type of threat / manifestation of desires, in the country it dissuasively marks the awareness that it has of the moment, between open aspirations and the stumbling eagerness for these desires to be realized on the ground. Dreaming is free, but not financing a new coup plot.
Faced with the attempt to replicate the coup in Bolivia, Chavismo again articulates its defensive capabilities to protect the peace and prevent a new round of destabilization.

Belgian targeting big season with BMC Racing Team
World number one Philippe Gilbert will begin his first season with the BMC Racing Team at the Tour of Qatar on February 5th, the Belgian thus choosing a different start to his year than he did in 2011.
Having made his season debut last February 6th in the Trofeo Palma de Mallorca, riding several days on the Spanish island before going on to the Volta ao Algarve and the first of many victories, he has opted for an alternative preparation.
Directeur sportif John Lelangue has outlined his programme to Het Laaste Nieuws, saying that the rider will compete in Qatar, then head to France for the Tour Haut Var (February 18-19). After that his programme will become more similar to 2011, with Gilbert competing in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (February 26) and the following day’s Kuurne_Brussels-Kuurne.
Next up will be the defence of his title in the Strade Bianche (March 3) plus a return to Tirreno-Adriatico (March 7 to 13) prior to Milan-San Remo on March 17th.
The latter is his first big season goal. He wants to improve on his third place of last year, then go on to tackle the other Spring Classics.
Gilbert had a stunning season in 2011, clocking up eighteen wins in over twelve thousand kilometres of racing. He dominated the Ardennes Classics with the extremely rare treble of Amstel Gold, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, also taking Brabantse Pijl in the same period.
Other successes which came his way included a stage and stint in the Maillot Jaune in the Tour de France, the Belgian road and time trial championships, overall victory in the Tour of Belgium and the Ster ZLM Toer, and single day victories in the Clasica San Sebastian and Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec.
His rivals will doubtlessly be concerned by his pronouncement last month that he believes he’ll be at a higher level this coming season. “I'm 29, I will still progress physically for another year or two and will be without doubt a little stronger in 2012, and possibly also in 2013,” he told La Dernière Heure. | 89 |

D > foreach ( ref color ; permsColor )
D > if ( isPossible ( & number, & color, null, null, null ) )
Normally in D you pass static arrays efficiently using "const ref T[N]", but in this program also nulls must be supported. So I have had to perform some experiments to find a flexible enough but efficient way to give them to the isPossible() function.
So I pass them as pointers to immutable fixed size arrays:
D > immutable ( Color [ 5 ] ) * color,
They are pointers to arrays (so they are like C/C++/D1 fixed size arrays), so they are efficient, despite this is a not idiomatic way to use arrays in D.
To use the array items you need to deference the pointer first:
( * color ) [ i ]
An alternative syntax, but it's less natural because the first isn't really an array of size 1, it's a pointer to an array:
color [ 0 ] [ i ]

---------------------------------------- ------
Strong static typing is useful, but it often also requires lot of work. In practical D programs I try to find a balance point in the amount of strong static typing I use, to avoid wasting some of my time. Yet, as I get more experienced in programming, I like to express more and more code invariants in statically enforced constraints, like the ones of a static type system, because despite they ask me lot of work, they help me avoid some bugs.
So "Make illegal states unrepresentable", as it's said here regarding OCaML code:
http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/85
So write your code to turn the illegal states into static errors.

Director General Ronald dela Rosa on Monday welcomed President Rodrigo Duterte’s remark that he might suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus to suppress the drug menace in the country.
In a press briefing in Camp Crame, Dela Rosa said the suspension of the privilege would be of great help to the administration’s war on drugs as it would make the job of policemen “easier.”

“Malaki po. Number 1 it will make our job easier. Number 2 it will provide enough deterrence to the drug violators,” Dela Rosa said when asked about would-be benefits of the suspension to the campaign against illegal drug trade.
Dela Rosa also allayed fears that suspending the privilege would be prone to abuse of power by policemen. The writ requires the state to produce the body of a person in custody. Suspending it would essentially allow warrantless arrests.
“Maabuso? Kahit may suspension ng writ of habeas corpus o wala kung talagang abusado ang pulis gagawa talaga ng kaabusuhan ‘yan,” the police chief said. “Kung siya maka-Diyos, makatao, hindi siya mag-aabuso so I’m giving this assurance to the public.”
“We are here to serve and protect. Magseserbisyo kami nang totoo at hindi kami mang-aabuso. ‘Yan ang aming assurance to the public,” he added.
Article VII, Section 18 of the Constitution allows the President to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus for not more than 60 days “in case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it.”
Presidential legal adviser Salvador Panelo hinted that an armed uprising could be the grounds for the suspension, saying illegal drugs were being used to fund a “rebellion” in the South.
Malacañang on Monday said Duterte’s pronouncement to suspend the privilege of the writ was a “stern warning” to lawless elements and perpetrators of violence, adding that the President might take “more drastic actions” to ensure peace and order in the country if necessary. CBB/rga

The wife of a Supreme Court justice honored James O’Keefe, the conservative provocateur known for conducting undercover sting operations against liberals, with an award for “defending liberty.”
Other conservative thought leads were honored as well, including Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The award comes a week after The Washington Post reported on O’Keefe’s failed attempt to disgrace the newspaper with a fake story.
Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, presented an award to conservative provocateur James O’Keefe on Wednesday for going “above and beyond in the defense of liberty.”
Thomas extended the honor to a handful of other conservative thought leaders as well, including Fox News host Sean Hannity, Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, and Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton.

United for Purpose, an organization whose mission is “to unite and equip conservatives in the promotion of Judeo-Christian principles” hosted the event at the Trump International Hotel in DC.
“The leaders we lift up today to be honored for the Impact Awards are the bravest, most effective, most dedicated, determined warriors defending the values that are the real strength of America,” Thomas said. “They have shown moral courage in the face of desperate times.”

O’Keefe made headlines last month after The Washington Post reported on his failed attempt to disgrace some of that newspaper’s reporters.
The sting operation failed when the Post discovered that a woman who posed as a victim of Roy Moore – the embattled Republican Alabama Senate candidate whose campaign has been roiled by multiple allegations of sexual misconduct – was actually working for O’Keefe’s Project Veritas.
O’Keefe is famous for leading undercover sting operations against media personalities, left-leaning organizations, and liberals, although he has a long history of those attempts backfiring. | 97 |
Former President Benigno S. Aquino III has raised doubts over the background of a “loud” forensic expert speaking on the so-called Dengvaxia mess, comparing that person’s qualification with that of a fake certificate produced in the infamous diploma-mill spot in Recto, Manila.
Appearing for the first time before the House inquiry on the controversial anti-dengue vaccine used in the government’s immunization program on Monday, Aquino chided an unnamed government official for harping on the Dengvaxia issue.
In his opening statement, Aquino cited the call of University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) medical experts for some individuals to refrain from making “premature conclusions based on insufficient data” on Dengvaxia since it unjustly affects the integrity of other vaccination programs of the government.
“Silang mga aral at eksperto, sila po ang ating pagsalitain para mapayuhan tayo ng maayos,” Aquino said.
“Masakit po nito: Lahat na lang po may opinyon, kwalipikado man o hindi, lalo na po ‘yung isang maingay na ang certification ay tila isang antas lang ang lamang sa nabibiling diploma sa Recto,” he also said.
Without mentioning any name, Aquino proceeded to say that the official’s certification on forensics was reportedly earned after merely watching a one hour-thirty minute video and answering an online “open book” exam.
“May nagsiyasat sa certification niya, at nagsulat ng artikulo. Galing po ang certification ng maingay na ito sa kwestyunableng kurso kung saan manonood ka lang raw ng video ng isang oras-kalahati, saka mag-exam na open book, at matapos mong magbayad ng 660 dollars ay certified ka na sa forensics,” Aquino said. /kga

And some insert mode mappings:
au FileType haskell inoremap <buffer> ;; <ESC>:call Make_arrow(1)<CR> au FileType haskell inoremap <buffer> ;: <ESC>:call Make_arrow(0)<CR>
So while in insert mode typing ;; or ;: will insert -> or => respectively. Additionally, it will avoid duplicated spaces between the types and the arrows.
Types abbreviations
Maybe I’m a terrible typist, but writing the first upper case letter of the most common types hurts my pinkie. So by using some insert mode abbreviations:
au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> int Int au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> integer Integer au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> string String au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> double Double au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> float Float au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> true True au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> false False au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> maybe Maybe au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> just Just au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> nothing Nothing au FileType haskell inoreab <buffer> io IO ()
Now I can type all lower case without having to bother with the shift key and the capitalized version will be inserted instead.
