Quim Torra.
El nuevo candidato a la Presidència de la Generalitat, Quim Torra, es un tuitero habitual. Con más de 17.500 publicaciones en dos años, comenta la actualidad, opina y comparte conocimientos culturales. Pero el diputado de JxCat se estrenó hace años en la red social, y aunque borró el rastro, su huella digital muestra unos mensajes entre el 2011 y el 2014 en los que usa la palabra "españoles" de forma despectiva y les achaca actitudes reprobables para ridiculizar, toda una muestra de xenofobia.
► Últimas noticias de Quim Torra y Catalunya | Directo
Los tuits ya no se encuentras disponibles pero varios internautas capturaron y compartieron una imagen de estos. Aquí los reproducimos:
- "Franceses y españoles comparten la misma concepción aniquiladora de las naciones que malviven en sus Estados".
- "[Los catalanes] vamos en coches particulares y nos lo pagamos todo. No hacemos como los españoles".
- "Evidentemente, vivimos ocupados por los españoles desde 1714".
- "Los españoles en Catalunya son como la energía: no desaparecen, se transforman".
- "Fuera bromas. Señores, si seguimos aquí algunos años más corremos el riesgo de acabar tan locos como los mismos españoles".
- "Sobre todo, lo que sorprende es el tono, la mala educación, la pijería española, sensación de inmundicia. Horrible".
- "Vergüenza es una palabra que los españoles hace años que han eliminado de su vocabulario".
- "Oir hablar a Albert Rivera de moralidad es como oír a los españoles hablar de democracia".
- "Los españoles solo saben expoliar".
- "[Los del PSC], pobres, hablan el español como los españoles".
Después de este episodio se dio un tiempo en Twitter. Pero volvió con fuerza y energías renovadas el 3 de enero del 2016. "Desaparezco unos meses y me encuentro con mi cuenta pirateada y la guerra civil indepe en marcha. Momento para volver", inauguró. Su reapartición coincidió con el 'no' de la bases de la CUP a la investidura de Artur Mas.

U.S. Supreme Court
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan
No. 39
Argued January 6, 1964
Decided March 9, 1964 376 U.S. 254ast|>*
376 U.S. 254
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
Syllabus
Respondent, an elected official in Montgomery, Alabama, brought suit in a state court alleging that he had been libeled by an advertisement in corporate petitioner's newspaper, the text of which appeared over the names of the four individual petitioners and many others. The advertisement included statements, some of which were false, about police action allegedly directed against students who participated in a civil rights demonstration and against a leader of the civil rights movement; respondent claimed the statements referred to him because his duties included supervision of the police department. The trial judge instructed the jury that such statements were "libelous per se," legal injury being implied without proof of actual damages, and that, for the purpose of compensatory damages, malice was presumed, so that such damages could be awarded against petitioners if the statements were found to have been published by them and to have related to respondent. As to punitive damages, the judge instructed that mere negligence was not evidence of actual malice, and would not justify an award of punitive damages; he refused to instruct that actual intent to harm or recklessness had to be found before punitive damages could be awarded, or that a verdict for respondent should differentiate between compensatory and punitive damages. The jury found for respondent, and the State Supreme Court affirmed.
Held: A State cannot, under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, award damages to a public official for defamatory falsehood relating to his official conduct unless he proves "actual malice" -- that the statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard of whether it was true or false. Pp. 376 U. S. 265-292.
(a) Application by state courts of a rule of law, whether statutory or not, to award a judgment in a civil action, is "state action" under the Fourteenth Amendment. P. 376 U. S. 265.
(b) Expression does not lose constitutional protection to which it would otherwise be entitled because it appears in the form of a paid advertisement. Pp. 376 U. S. 265-266.
Page 376 U. S. 255
(c) Factual error, content defamatory of official reputation, or both, are insufficient to warrant an award of damages for false statements unless "actual malice" -- knowledge that statements are false or in reckless disregard of the truth -- is alleged and proved. Pp. 376 U. S. 279-283.
(d) State court judgment entered upon a general verdict which does not differentiate between punitive damages, as to which, under state law, actual malice must be proved, and general damages, as to which it is "presumed," precludes any determination as to the basis of the verdict, and requires reversal, where presumption of malice is inconsistent with federal constitutional requirements. P. 376 U. S. 284.
(e) The evidence was constitutionally insufficient to support the judgment for respondent, since it failed to support a finding that the statements were made with actual malice or that they related to respondent. Pp. 376 U. S. 285-292.
273 Ala. 656, 144 So. 2d 25, reversed and remanded.
Page 376 U. S. 256
MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN delivered the opinion of the Court.
We are required in this case to determine for the first time the extent to which the constitutional protections for speech and press limit a State's power to award damages in a libel action brought by a public official against critics of his official conduct.
Respondent L. B. Sullivan is one of the three elected Commissioners of the City of Montgomery, Alabama. He testified that he was
"Commissioner of Public Affairs, and the duties are supervision of the Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Cemetery and Department of Scales."
He brought this civil libel action against the four individual petitioners, who are Negroes and Alabama clergymen, and against petitioner the New York Times Company, a New York corporation which publishes the New York Times, a daily newspaper. A jury in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County awarded him damages of $500,000, the full amount claimed, against all the petitioners, and the Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed. 273 Ala. 656, 144 So. 2d 25.
Respondent's complaint alleged that he had been libeled by statements in a full-page advertisement that was carried in the New York Times on March 29, 1960. [Footnote 1] Entitled "Heed Their Rising Voices," the advertisement began by stating that,

chleierte Frauen, die mit automatischen Gewehren vor einem BMW posieren, finden sich auf Twitter. "Es war auch eine Woche, in der IS-Frauen/Witwen Fotos mit einem "wünschte Du wärst hier"-Ton gepostet haben. Neue Rekrutierungsmethoden", kommentierte die preisgekrönte libanesisch-britische Journalistin und Islam-Expertin Hala Jaber diese Bilder.

Doch so ausgefeilt und modern die Rekrutierungsmethoden auch sein mögen, sie müssen auf fruchtbaren Boden fallen, damit die Islamisten eine Ernte einfahren können. Einen Hinweis auf das, was der IS-Propaganda bei Mädchen und Frauen im Westen den Boden bereitet, gibt der sehr persönliche Artikel der britischen Muslima Javaria Akbar im "Telegraph": "So undenkbar es scheint, es gibt einen winzigen Fleck in mir, der versteht, warum einer von sieben britischen Dschihadisten, die in den Irak und nach Syrien gegangen sind, Frauen sind", schreibt sie. "Was ich verstehe, ist die verzweifelte Suche einen Ort zu finden, wo man dazugehört - der menschliche Wunsch gehört und wertgeschätzt zu werden, ist unglaublich stark." Akbars Text trägt die Überschrift: "Warum kann ich keinerlei weiße Freunde gewinnen?"
Das Problem der Ausgrenzung sieht auch Sara Khan, Mitbegründerin der britischen Menschenrechtsorganisation Inspire, als ein Motiv für den Hijrah: "Diese jungen Frauen fühlen sich nicht, als gehörten sie in die westliche Gesellschaft und wollen dringend Teil von etwas Größerem werden, sagte sie dem "Telegraph". "Der IS sieht aus, als böte er diese Utopie: ein realer Staat, und einer, der einer muslimischen Schwesternschaft Schutz bietet."
Gefährliche Interaktion mit der Psyche anderer
Bei jungen Mädchen ist oft auch ein viel banaleres Motiv Grund für ihre Abkehr von der westlichen Welt: Auflehnung gegen die Eltern. Die französischen Teenagerinnen, die in den Dschihad zögen, stammten häufig aus Familien, in denen Religion kaum praktiziert werde oder die Eltern sogar Atheisten seien, erklärte die Forscherin Géraldine Casutt laut "Spiegel Online". "Meine Tochter verkündete mir, sie habe mir nichts mehr zu sagen, weil ich Atheistin bin", erzählte eine Mutter demnach der Anthropologin Dounia Bouzar. Das Motiv der Rebellion gegen die als zu liberal und angepasst empfundene Familie gilt ebenso für junge Deutsche: Viele verließen das Land gegen den Willen ihrer Eltern, hauten einfach ab, und die verzweifelten Mütter und Väter könnten nur Vermisstenanzeigen aufgeben, sagte ein deutscher Ermittler der "Zeit".

UPDATE, May 20: Since we wrote the following piece on May 14, two outlets have covered the protests and what has happened since: PRI and HuffPost. Both outlets have linked to our original piece.
We waited a few hours to write this post just to give the U.S. mainstream media a chance to actually cover a day of some very intense protests in Puerto Rico on Wednesday afternoon. As of tonight (around 12:05amET on May 14), we can safely conclude that very little coverage (if any, to be quite honest) ever even appeared in U.S. English-language media. The only English language piece we found was a story by Prensa Latina:
San Juan, May 13 (Prensa Latina) Thousands of members of the Puerto Rican university community rejected the possible cuts to the budget of state University of Puerto Rico, in a massive march because of the fiscal crisis of the island. Students, teachers, investigators and non-teaching workers of the UPR and members of private universities met at the Capitol of San Juan to march up to La Fortaleza, the host of the Puerto Rican Executive.
That was pretty much it as of this initial posting, even though #11Recintos1UPR was active for most of the day, as well as #MarchaUPR.
Those two hashtags included several photos, including these:

Social media also featured videos of the protests (“We are students, we’re not criminals!”):
MVI_3399 Lo pongo por aquí por aquello de que somos “violentos”. El primer macanazo del día está como al minuto 1:15.El video está público ahora ya que muchos lo están compartiendo pero quiero también aclarar que mi intención con publicarlo no es condenar a la Policía de Puerto Rico. El Nuevo Día ayer dejó entender que los estudiantes fueron los primeros en ejercer violencia física y la intención del video es que quede en récord que los estudiantes hicieron un llamado a la paz en todo momento. Aprovecho también para dejar claro que la mayoría del cuerpo de oficiales allí presente se comportó con respeto hacia los manifestantes, salvo por aquel que primero soltó el macanazo y el otro que usó pepper spray. Ellos están allí haciendo su trabajo y posiblemente algunos simpatizan con nosotros. Como me dijo uno de los oficiales: "No es personal". Posted by Jorge L Falcón Garrido on Wednesday, May 13, 2015
There were even reports that a Pepsi bottle filled with aluminum and a chemical had detonated very near the La Fortaleza (the governor’s mansion). There were no injuries, but we do think that if a bomb-like device had gone off near where an elected official on the mainland was, it would be on a constant 24/7 constant loop coverage. Images from the live stream of El Nuevo Día also were shared throughout social media all day in Puerto Rico:

Na forumu Klokanice roditelji opisuju svoja iskustva s ogrlicom od jantara i njezinim učinkom na simptome rasta zubića kod djece. Pridružite im se u raspravi, a pročitajte i što o ovoj temi kažu dr. dent. med. Ivana Cekić i prof. Vesna Ivanović, autorica knjige 'Život i alkemija kristala'
Bebe simpatično izgledaju s jantarnim ogrlicama oko vrata, koje roditelji podjednako stavljaju dječacima i djevojčicama, no jesu li one stvarno učinkovite protiv boli, temperature, nervoze i slinjenja uslijed nicanja prvih zubića? I koliko su sigurne za nošenje, odnosno postoji li opasnost od gušenja? O ogrlicama od jantara raspravljaju roditelji na forumu i na našoj Facebook stranici, a mi vam prenosimo njihova različita iskustva, kao i komentare stručnjaka.
Djeluje li ili ne djeluje?
Mama missha s foruma Klokanice opisala je učinak ogrlice na temperaturu i nervozu zbog rasta zubića: "Mi smo koristili je kad je veća kći imala temperature i stvarno je super. Dok je imala ogrlicu, temperatura nije išla iznad 38 stupnjeva. Držala je tu temperaturu pod nadzorom. Za zubiće je bila manje učinkovita, kći je bila cendrava, ali nije plakala noću, tako da je bilo podnošljivo."
"Nama je jantarna ogrlica puno pomogla s dvoje djece. Nisu slinili, nisu bili jako nervozni, zubiće skoro uopće nismo osjetili", napisala je mama Marija na Facebooku, no javili su se i neki kod kojih nije bila tako učinkovita.
Korisnica pod imenom mama2zg jedna je od njih: "Nama nije pomogla! Čak mi se čini da je još više bio nervozan kad ju je nosio, a radili smo sve kako treba, i praznili redovito i punili, ali očito na svakome djeluje drugačije, odnosno ili djeluje ili uopće ne djeluje."
I mama Bisera ima slično iskustvo: "Ja sam je kupila svom petomjesečnom sinčiću, ali ne vidim nikakva poboljšanja ili olakšanje kod nicanja prvog zubića."
Koliko je ogrlica oko bebina vrata sigurna?
Na pitanje jesu li zbog sigurnosti skidali ogrlicu djeci prije spavanja, većina roditelja odgovara da nisu, smatrajući da za tim nema potrebe. "Mi je nikad ne skidamo i zubiće skoro pa nismo osjetili, a ima ih već osam!", piše mama Kristina, a mama Nina napisala je kako je njezina kćer nosila jantarnu ogrlicu sve do dobi od šest godina, kada je pukla, jer je prije nije htjela skinuti, a "uvijek je bila mirna i dobra".

Doktorica dentalne medicine Ivana Cekić smatra da jantarna ogrlica nema nikakve veze s nicanjem zubića i da ne može ublažiti nelagodu koja se u to vrijeme javlja, a da, s druge strane, predstavlja opasnost od gušenja.
"Zapravo nema rješenja za potpuno uklanjanje simptoma nicanja zubi, osim gelova za desni, koji se mogu kupiti u ljekarnama, ili igračaka za grickanje, od kojih se neke mogu i rashladiti pa djeci paše grickati ih i njima trljati desni", kaže dr. Cekić.
Komentar smo zatražili i od prof. Vesne Ivanović, poznavateljice povijesti upotrebe kristala i minerala, autorice knjige 'Život i alkemija kristala'. "Jantar je smola prethistorijskih crnogoričnih paprati koje su rasle na području današnjeg Baltika i još nekim mjestima na Zemlji. Dokazano je da jantar ima antiseptičko djelovanje i odavno se koristi upravo kao antiseptik. Može ga se i paliti, slično kao tamjan, koji je isto smola, i onda oslobađa poseban miris i dezinficira prostor. Čubuci, nastavci za pušenje cigareta ili nargila koje idu od osta do usta, često su napravljeni od jantara, ponovno zbog njegovih antiseptičkih svojstava. Jantar je bio osobito popularan u doba Rimskog carstva, gdje su ga koristili za izradu različitog nakita, a budući da ga je bilo lako oblikovati, čak i vrčeva", rekla nam je Vesna Ivanović.
Drevne igračke za trljanje desni
Objasnila je da je suvremeno korištenje ogrlice od jantara protiv simptoma nicanja zubi zapravo iskrivljenje povijesne upotrebe jantara i za tu svrhu. "Zabilježeno je da su djeca u prošlosti trljala desni većim komadom jantara, koji je mogao biti oblikovan tako da se dijete njime ne može ozlijediti, a bio je siguran i jer se ne može slomiti. Zahvaljujući slini, iz jantara su se pritom oslobađale i njegove antibakterijske komponente.
Kad bismo razgovarali o djelovanju ogrlica od jantara na rast zubi, ušli bismo u sferu ezoteričnoga, jer je tu pretpostavka da jantar na zubiće djeluje samom svojom vibracijom, za što nema znanstvenih dokaza", kaže stručnjakinja za kristale i minerale.
Neki roditelji spominju kako su jantarne ogrlice koristili protiv temperature, a Vesna Ivanović kaže kako se tradicionalno jantar zaista koristio i kod temperature, no tako da bi ga palili i njime kadili prostoriju, za dezinfekciju.

In Greco-Roman mythology, as in almost every mythology, monstrous beings and fantastic animals are frequent. Sometimes these monsters are large animals, others they are the result of the mixture of several different animals and sometimes they are even a mix of human beings and animals.
Dragons, griffins, sphinxes, centaurs, sea monsters, pegasus, gods in human form with animal head as in Egypt … can be found in all the mythologies and cosmogonies of the world and take us back to a very primitive stage of the human beings: some of them to the time of men hunters and others also to the Neolithic era.
Some people think that the creation of these monstrous beings is due to the appearance in the very ancient times of fossil remains of dinosaurs and other animals which were extinct then. It is an attempt of rationalistic explanation of myths. This theory of mythological explanation is called “Euhemerism ", from the name of his alleged creator Euhemerus of Messene, in the fourth century BC, from whom we hardly keep some abstracts and citations.
According to Euhemerus, gods are just historical figures, kings of particular relevance, magnified by tradition. This theory had some success among some ancient authors, especially among the ancient fathers of the Church, who used it to discredit the ancient myths but that did not apply to their own.
However attractive these theories of rationalization of myths seem, the reality is that the human being is enormously complex and in an effort to explain the world around us, we use our intelligence, creativity, dreams and imagination, our unitary conception of the world, to create forms of symbolic and mythical explanation. Thus we use physical experiences to express realities of another order.
In Antiquity fossil remains certainly appear and these findings are documented. No doubt that these fossils sometimes fed the imagination of the ancient people and also help to explain, justify or reinforce the existence of their fantastic animals.
There is a very interesting text by Pliny in which he tells us how the mayor Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, in the year 58 BC, brought to Rome and exhibited the fossil remains of a monster which appeared in Joppa, the present Jaffa, next to Tel-Aviv. Ancient people traditionally placed the episode of the myth of Perseus and Andromeda in Joppa (see in this blog itself. http://www.antiquitatem.com/en/perseus-andromeda-medusa-pegasus-danae ).
Strabo, XVI, 2.28 (759); Mela, I, 11/64; Pliny NH V, 13/69; Josephus Bello Iudaico, III, 9.3 (420); Pausanias, IV, 35.6; Jerome, Comm. Ad Ion., I, 3 also placed the episode there, or at least they said that remains of the chains of Andromeda emerged from the rock. Alost all of them mention that remains of Andromeda´s chains emerged from the rock of Joppa.
Naturally the remains brought by Scaurus were identified with the sea monster that was supposed to devour Andromeda.
Pliny tells us, NH IX, 4/11:
M. Scaurus, in his ædileship, exhibited at Rome, among other wonderful things, the bones of the monster to which Andromeda was said to have been exposed, and which he had brought from Joppa, a city of Judæa. These bones exceeded forty feet in length (about 13 meters), and the ribs were higher than those of the Indian elephant, while the back-bone was a foot and a half in thickness (about 45 centimeters).
Beluae, cui dicebatur expósita fuisse Andromeda ossa Romae apportata ex oppido Iudaeae Ioppe ostendit inter reliqua miracula in aedilitate sua M. Scaurus longitudine pedum XL, altitudine costarum Indicos elephantos excedente, spinae crrassitudine sesquipedali.
Perhaps it was a Pliosaur like the one that has recently appeared in the Arctic sea, 15 meters long and 45 tons in weight; or it might be an ancient whale or cetacean.
There is also a famous painting on a Greek vase, a krater of the middle of the sixth century now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in which Heracles faces the monster that Poseidon sent to attack Troy where Laomedon reigned, who must sacrifice his daughter Princess Hesione of Troy, in a similar myth to Andromeda´s myth. The painting depicts quite clearly a fossil remain too, probably of a type of ancient giraffe.

SANTIAGO – O Ministério da Defesa do Chile convocou reservistas das Forças Armadas para ajudar o patrulhamento e revezar as tropas mobilizadas com a imposição do estado de emergência em diversas regiões do país desde o último sábado. Os militares voltaram às ruas do Chile pela primeira vez desde o fim da ditadura em função dos protestos deflagrados pelo reajuste das passagens do metrô de Santiago, e cujas demandas se ampliaram para reformas sociais e econômicas. Mesmo o anúncio de uma agenda social pelo presidente Sebastián Piñera na noite de terça não foi suficiente para encerrar as manifestações, já que os manifestantes pedem justamente o fim do estado de emergência e da intervenção dos militares na segurança pública.
— Sim, há reservistas — confirmou o ministro do Interior, Andrés Chadwick, ao jornal chileno La Tercera. — Esta é uma decisão das próprias Forças Armadas, que podem chamar suas reservas para poder não só reforçar (o patrulhamento). Também há que se entender que as jornadas têm sido muito longas e muito duras, e o pessoal (mobilizado) precisa ter seu devido descanso.

De acordo com fontes militares ouvidas pelo La Tercera, os reservistas também deverão ajudar no trabalho administrativo e apoio logístico das unidades militares e só serão convocados alguns deles, dependendo das necessidades de cada Arma (Exército, Marinha ou Aeronáutica).
A medida, no entanto, foi criticada pela oposição. O deputado da agremiação esquerdista Revolução Democrática, Miguel Crispi publicou o decreto de convocação, datado da última segunda-feira, dia 21, em sua conta no Twitter e comentou: “Esta informação é muito delicada, e muito preocupante. É o decreto mediante o qual se está chamando ao serviço ativo as reservas do Exército. O governo deve dar conta desta informação. Não estamos em guerra.”

Uso excessivo da força
Saques e incêndios têm sido registrados em várias cidades do país, enquanto surgem críticas contra a atuação das forças de segurança. A Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos (CIDH) condenou em comunicado divulgado nesta quarta-feira o “uso excessivo da força” na repressão aos protestos no Chile, assim como os “atos violentos cometidos por civis” nas manifestações, que já deixaram 18 pessoas mortas, entre elas uma criança de 4 anos, nos últimos dias.

Petar je za nas odvojio nešto vremena u pauzi između treninga i obroka te odgovorio na nekoliko pitanja vezanih za njegovu impresivnu sportsku karijeru.
Kada ste započeli vašu sportsku karijeru?
„Svoju sportsku karijeru započeo sam u desetoj godini života kada sam nastupio na školskom natjecanju u atletici.
Do petnaeste godine života postao je višestruki prvak Hrvatske u atletici te ostvario rekord na 100 m prepona u uzrastu do 15 godina.“
Zbog čega ste odlučili trenirati atletiku?
Posted by Petar Klančir on 8. rujna 2015
U treningu atletike bazične vježbe bile su vezane uz snagu te sam se uvijek isticao od drugih. Jedom mi je trener rekao da ako ne uspijem u atletici sigurno ću uspjeti u bodybuildingu!
Tada mi ta ideja nije bila ni na kraju pameti, samo sam odmahnuo rukom, jer jednostavno nisam mogao zamisliti da sam jedan od onih "nabildanih s plakata".„

20 godina prvi puta sam izašao na bodybuilding natjecanje te sam postao juniorski IFBB prvak države, a već iduću godinu kao junior sam nastupio u seniorskoj kategoriji i osvojio titulu apsolutnog IFBB prvaka Hrvatske.Iste godine okušao sam se i u power lifting natjecanju gdje sam postigao rezultat od od 820 kg; čučanj 320 kg, bench 220 kg, mrtvo dizanje 280 kg.Želio sam dokazati da bodybuilderi nisu slabi, i uspio sam!
Nadalje, s 22 godine nastupio sam za drugu bodybuilding federaciju te osvojio titulu NABBA mr.Universe.
Iste sam godine osvojio titulu viceprvaka na Mr. Olympiji u Pragu te titulu viceprvaka na Arnold Classic amateur Europe.

Mogu reći kako sam imao puno uspona u karijeri te da sam zadovoljan postignutim.
Smatram kako je najbitnije ostati uporan i ne posustati, zadržati sportski duh i krenuti dalje bez obzira na prepreke koje vode prema zadanom cilju.

Last year, Republican Presidental hopeful Donald Trump made some very unflattering remarks towards Mexican immigrants, linking them to crime and rape. Such a pronouncement got many Latino lobbyist groups calling for a ban on Trump. But one Mexican group, Brujeria, are actually endorsing Trump.
Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
Brujeria just released their new single, "Viva Presidenté Trump" and it's pretty clear who they're endorsing here:
Brujeria essentially are saying they appreciate all the chaos and anarchy Trump is bringing to the election with lyrics like "I actually want him to be president gabacho, Because he wants war and so do we, I want the Trumpy president to win
Because if he starts something, we’re definitely gonna finish it" and "I want the biggest asshole for president gabacho, If you want war, come on you twat."
The band was quoted as saying:
"The song ('Viva Presidente Trump!') was on shelf for years with no idea for vocals," states vocalist Juan Brujo. "It was gonna be an 'Anti-Castro' part II song but nothing came out of it. It just needed proper motivation to go and attach itself to someone… and Trump came thru!
"I see Trump as the white republican version of Juan Brujo circa '93. Wanting to start shit for the hell of it!!! That's why it's called "Viva Presidente Trump!" We both want same thing! So much that I want to be his running mate!!!"
You can download the single here. A full-length is expected later this year. Here are all the lyrics to the track…
Viva presidente trump!

program.
You have not defined your data structures and relations properly (very likely).
In the rare event of case #1, you must keep, cherish, and document the twenty arguments since they represent an important and probably extremely subtle characteristic of your application.
If you are complaining because you find yourself adding two arguments one minute, and later deleting another argument or moving the fifteenth argument to the third place, the problem is not that of a large arity relationship, but poor program organization. You must appreciate an argument when it means something, and recognize when they are the result of poor design. Very rarely will you fruitfully replace an argument with a global assertion, though the temptation will be strong.
Turn away from the Dark Side, Luke - Obi Wan Kenobe
display_list([]). display_list([Item|Items]) :- display_item(Item), display_list(Items). display(graphic(Object, Color)) :- set_color(Color), draw_object(Object). display(text(X, Y, Text)) :- set_color(black), name(Text, Chars), write_chars(X, Y, Chars).
He pointed out that I was only using one bit of the atoms graphic and text. In fact, if the display/1 predicate had eight clauses, for the eight different objects that ultimately had to display (transistors, wires, etc.), at least I would be using three bits.
If we want to manipulate arrays of zeros, ones, and x (don't care) values, the obvious data-structure might be a list-of-lists (we will use this later in the circuit minimization example).
[[1,0,x,1,0], [0,x,x,0,x], [1,x,x,0,x], [x,1,1,1,x], [x,1,x,x,1]]
If the row width is fixed (and less than 256) we can use row(1,0,x,1,0) to represent a rows and reduce this to 40 words, or 1280 bits. If the columns are fixed we can reduce the outer list overhead to 6 rather than 10, for a total of 1152 bits.
In the limit as the array gets larger our structure will use 1/3 of the space required by the naive list-of-lists.
But we have not even looked at the amount of space required for each two-bit data element. We need a way to use more of the bits in each integer. Now, in this particular application, the matrices are quite sparse, with many X or ``don't care'' elements. If we want to take advantage of the sparsity, we must have a way for each element to carry its column number (since all columns will not appear in the representation), and this directly suggests how to use more of the bits in the 32-bit integers that hold our data elements.
Operationally, we encode an element by left-shifting a variable's column index sufficiently to store its value into the lower bits. For boolean values we only shift the index one bit position. Thus a 4 represents a 0 at position 2 ( (2>>1) OR 0 => 4).
X1 X2 X3 X4 -> X1 X2 X3 X4 2 0 1 2 4 7 0 0 2 2 2 4 1 2 2 1 3 13 2 2 2 2
Original Matrix and Encoding
The lesson is: Don't be afraid to twiddle bits in Prolog. (But of course, neither should you do it unnecessarily.)
We really must take advantage of the conciseness of Prolog by writing readable programs. ``Self-documenting'' programs are a myth. There is no substitute for having clear, concise prose accompany an algorithm.
This is particularly worthwhile because well-written Prolog programs can serve as formal definitions of our applications and not simply as implementions. A logically cohesive description of an application will transcend a particular implementation and will ultimately be of much greater value.
Good mathematical descriptions have lifetimes measured in centuries. As programs become more like formal specifications of the problems they address, and less like collections of imperative code to handle special cases, their potential lifetimes may approach those of mathematical theorems.

Plusieurs fois par semaine sur Twitter, la militante antiraciste Saira Rao s'en prend à sa cible préférée, les «femmes blanches»: «Les femmes blanches sont les chevilles ouvrières du suprémacisme blanc», a-t-elle par exemple tweeté en mars 2019.
I am frequently asked why the focus on "white women."
Simple: white women have been the foot soldiers of white supremacy. They wield tremendous power. They can wield that power for good rather than evil. — saira rao (@sairasameerarao) March 21, 2019
Paradoxalement, ce sont les figures de la résistance anti-Trump qui sont les premières visées, à l'image de Nancy Pelosi, la cheffe des Démocrates au Congrès: «Les femmes blanches adorent Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi est le féminisme blanc. Le féminisme blanc est le suprémacisme blanc.»
White women adore Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi is white feminism.
White feminism is white supremacy. — saira rao (@sairasameerarao) February 5, 2020

«C'est vous le problème»
Rao, une ancienne avocate américaine d'origine indienne, écrit également sur des pratiques du quotidien a priori banales mais qui s'avèrent, selon elle, racistes –comme le fait de lui envoyer des messages de soutien en privé plutôt que de la défendre en public: «Petit rappel que les messages de soutien privés sont une forme de suprémacisme blanc. Faites-les en public ou gardez-les pour vous.»
À toutes les personnes qui objectent, Rao a une réponse toute prête: «Si vous avez un problème avec la façon dont une personne racisée parle de racisme, c'est vous le problème.»
À l'inverse, la militante exprime beaucoup d'amour envers les femmes qui ne sont pas blanches: «Joyeuse Saint-Valentin aux filles et aux femmes noires et indigènes. Vous êtes belles à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, et profondément aimées et chéries.»
Happy Valentine’s Day to Black, Indigenous and brown girls and women. You are beautiful inside and out and loved and treasured beyond measure.

Dans les réponses sur Twitter, une question revient fréquemment: ce compte est-il une parodie? Une performance artistique? Une tentative de discréditer l'antiracisme en le ridiculisant?
Pas du tout. Saira Rao est entièrement sérieuse: elle a fait campagne pour être représentante du Colorado en 2018 (elle a obtenu 32% des voix contre son opposante lors de la primaire démocrate) et a fondé une entreprise d'éducation des femmes blanches à l'antiracisme.
Son discours correspond à la version extrême d'un type d'antiracisme qui gagne du terrain aux États-Unis et dont les préceptes ont récemment été résumés par la sociologue Robin DiAngelo dans son best-seller intitulé La Fragilité blanche.
Pour Rao et DiAngelo, le «suprémacisme blanc» ne fait pas seulement référence aux néo-nazis convaincus de la supériorité des Blanc·hes, ni aux fans de Donald Trump. Elles emploient le mot dans sa définition universitaire, soit pour décrire «un syst | 6,214 |

Résumé : L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en valeur les dynamiques historiques du territoire chypriote sur le plan stratégique. Comment les événements historiques du passé ont influencé son caractère stratégique actuel? Aujourd’hui, la situation géostratégique de l’île reste incertaine. Quelle est enfin la stratégie qui pourrait être adoptée face aux nouveaux défis régionaux pour Chypre face à la montée de la puissance turque en Méditérranée orientale?
Mots-clefs : Chypre, géopolitique, géostratégie, Méditerranée, Grèce, Turquie, Grande-Bretagne.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to expose the history of Cypriot territory. How the historical events of the past have affected the current strategic role of the island. Today, the progress of the situation remains uncertain. The question concerns what is finally the strategy that could be adopted in order to face the new challenges of the region and the Turkish threat.
Words Keys: Cyprus, history, geopolitcs, geostrategy, Mediterranean, Greece, Turkey, United Kingdom
Introduction :
La Méditerranée orientale est un nœud stratégique qui attire les grandes puissances exogènes depuis le début de son histoire. Située dans sa partie centrale, l’île de Chypre constitue un ensemble territorial important connu par les événements de 1974 avec la Turquie. En réalité, le territoire chypriote accueille depuis toujours, dans son ensemble, des dynamiques historiques qui permet de comprendre l’importance géostratégique de ce pays. Chypre est le symbole des tensions entre la terre et la puissance maritime en reprenant la théorie du britannique Mackinder au début XXe siècle. De Mackinder à Spykman, la position chypriote dans l’espace méditerranéen est considérée comme un pivot de la stratégie américano-britannique. Elle est assimilée comme leur dernier espace de transition vers le Moyen-Orient. Chypre n’a jamais pu échapper de son environnement géographique. Elle ne paraît pas avoir le choix dans les rivalités territoriales entre les Etats. Comme l’écrit le géographe Yves Lacoste, la plupart des conflits géopolitiques se déroulent entre des forces territoriales qui sont proche les unes des autres. Dans Géopolitique de la Méditerranée, il rappelle que la zone méditerranéenne est « un ensemble géopolitique conflictuel », une ligne d’affrontements où les enjeux géopolitiques sont nombreux.
I. Chypre et sa dimension régionale dans la Méditerranée
A. Chypre, une géohistoire nécessaire
La Grèce et son territoire insulaire est un des États les plus maritimes de l’Europe méditerranéenne. Sa partie insulaire est composée de trois milles îles, et, avec Chypre, l’aire hellénique représente le second ensemble culturel du monde insulaire méditerranéen. Sa position géographique en Méditerranée explique son histoire riche et mouvementée depuis l’Antiquité. Dès le début du IIIe millénaire avant J.C., les Grecs mycéniens s’établissent en rattachant l’île au monde hellénique. De nombreux autres peuples s’y installent ensuite, notamment | 6,218 |

Kashturi Munirathinam, une Indienne qui travaillait en tant que domestique en Arabie saoudite, s’est fait couper la main par son employeur alors qu’elle tentait de s’enfuir de la maison où elle subissait de mauvais traitements. L’affaire a provoqué un début de crise diplomatique entre les deux pays, d’autant que les incidents de ce type sont loin d’être inhabituels en Arabie saoudite.
L’Inde, par le biais de sa ministre des affaires étrangères Sushma Swaraj, s’est formellement plainte auprès des autorités saoudiennes, rapporte The Telegraph. Sur Twitter, la ministre a dénoncé un acte « inacceptable ».
« Nous sommes très perturbés par la manière brutale dont a été traitée une femme indienne en Arabie saoudite. Nous avons pris contact avec les autorités saoudiennes. »
Chopping of hand of Indian lady - We are very much disturbed over the brutal manner in which Indian lady has been treated in Saudi Arabia. — SushmaSwaraj (@Sushma Swaraj)
« Ne pas avoir été payée et être torturée »
Agée d’une cinquantaine d’années, Kashturi Munirathinam était arrivée en Arabie saoudite il y a trois mois pour occuper un emploi de femme de ménage, d’abord dans la ville de Dammam, dans l’est, puis dans la capitale Riyad, pour un salaire d’environ 200 euros par mois, raconte The Guardian.
Selon sa sœur, interrogée par The Indian Express, elle se plaignait « de ne pas avoir été payée et d’être torturée ». Son employeur lui a tranché la main « quand elle essayait de s’enfuir de la maison en descendant du balcon ».
« On nous a dit que l’accident avait eu lieu dans la soirée du 29 septembre (...) Des voisins l’ont amené à l’hôpital. Des représentants de l’ambassade d’Inde […] ont dit qu’elle souffrait d’une blessure à la colonne vertébrale qu’elle s’est faite en tombant du balcon. »
La BBC rapporte les propos du fils de la victime, qui affirme que dès que sa mère « a été embauchée dans cette famille au mois de juillet, rien n’allait ».

Un porte-parole du ministère indien des affaires étrangères a assuré que l’Inde continuerait de demander justice pour sa ressortissante :
« Notre ambassade à Riyad a évoqué le problème avec le bureau des affaires étrangères saoudien et a demandé une action stricte et le châtiment sévère du parrain [ou sponsor, l’employeur de la domestique]. Nous avons exigé qu’une enquête pour tentative d’assassinat soit ouverte contre lui. »
Les autorités saoudiennes n’ont pas encore répondu publiquement aux demandes de l’Inde. L’indignation soulevée pour cet acte brutal fait écho au | 6,219 |
estão deitando e rolando com a frase “impeachment não é golpe”. Os grandes juristas contemporâneos da Globo Law School são os maiores experts em como não se deve fazer jornalismo e como se distorce o Direito. Nos programas soliloquias, o jusfilósofo Dr. M. Birne, explica, de forma imparcial, o que é isto — impeachment, a partir de seu livro em alemão Die Größe meiner Wut gegen die Regierung (Minha grande raiva contra o governo, 3a ed, com posfácio de Cunha, Eduardo). Best seller. Cristina Wolf, direto de Brasilia, fala de cadeira. Pudera, depois de ter publicado sua tese doutoral em inglês intitulada The size of my anger against the government (A dimensão da minha raiva contra o governo – 5ª. Ed., revista, com capítulo especial sobre “porque levamos Eduardo Cunha de barbada nos noticiários). Li a ambos e fiquei impressionado.
Nem preciso falar do filósofo contemporâneo W. Bomer, autor do livro
What is the best way to present the news in a partial way (qual é o melhor modo de apresentar noticias de modo parcial, 3ª Ed. Revista e atualizada de acordo com o impeachment). Veja-se que a grande maioria dos jornalistas escreveu livros famosos e segue suas matrizes teóricas ao máximo.
O que mais me resta por escrever?
Ainda para finalizar: seguindo a matriz teórica do best seller do professor Birne (Pereira, em alemão), a IPI (imprensa pindoramense isenta) chegou ao máximo ao colocar no ar um vídeo feito por uma anônima em um shopping, “entrevistando” o ministro Celso de Mello. Fantástico. Ups. Passou no Fantástico, mesmo. Tudo bem, mas fico pensando cá com meus botões: como isso se daria na Alemanha? Um juiz do Bundesverfassungsgericht (Tribunal Constitucional) sendo gravado/entrevistado em uma grande Kaufhaus? Algo como "Wie geht es dir, mein Freund? Was denken Sie über den Prozess, der das Gericht über den Fall von Kanzlerin Angela..."? (Algo como "o que você acha do processo..."). Provavelmente o juiz diria: "In diesem Vortrag wird es nicht gelingen" (em tradução abrasileirada, algo como "Minha Senhora, essa conversa não vai rolar").
Nem vou falar da NBC entrevistando o Judge Clarense, em um shopping em Washington. Minha dúvida — em face de minha ingenuidade — é: essa gravação foi autorizada? Sei lá. Em tempos de escutas clandestinas... Todos escutam todos. E quem fará a Grundescuta (a escuta fundamental, algo como a Grundnorm?). O ministro autorizou a divulgação no Fantástico? A senhora anônima vendeu o vídeo? Tem assinatura do ministro autorizando? A tal senhora estava usando crachá?[ ] Pode-se gravar pessoas sem usar crachá?
Se ainda há algo a dizer, perguntaria — agora de forma absolutamente séria: Cansamos da democracia? Se não, vamos levar o direito a sério. E cumprir a Constituição, sem ideologizar tudo. Deve ter restado um mínimo de racionalidade. | 6,220 |

First of all, let me announce that my last post, Grading the Openings (Part One), unexpectedly turned into the biggest hit I’ve ever had on this blog. The blog had 1136 visitors yesterday, which is three times more than I have ever had in a single day (except during the 2012 World Championship match, when I was translating Sergei Shipov’s commentaries). Thanks to all of you, especially to the many first-timers who found their way here because of a Reddit link. I hope you’ll enjoy today’s post as well.
Today is the post I really look forward to, where I am going to name names and point fingers at the good, the bad, and the ugly of chess openings. As I mentioned last time, all of these statistics are based on a collection of all games in ChessBase, played since 2000, where both players were rated 2200 or above. There are just short of a million games meeting that description. Also, a disclaimer: I absolutely do not recommend that you choose your openings based on these statistics. They are just for fun.
And now let’s have the award envelopes…
Most Popular ECO Code
This category is won by the Alapin Variation of the Sicilian Defense (ECO code B22), 1. e4 c5 2. c3, in a landslide. Interestingly, the top five variations are all in ECO code B. In order, they are:
B22 (Alapin Sicilian) — 17775 games B07 (Pirc, all variations except Classical and Austrian Attack) — 13644 B33 (Sicilian, primarily Sveshnikov and Pelikan) — 12252 B01 (Scandinavian) — 11306 B06 (Robatsch, 1. e4 g6, all variations that don’t transpose into Pirc) — 11234
Interesting as the results are, to me they are a little bit skewed by the choices the ECO designers made. For example, the Scandinavian is not all that popular as an opening. But when you put all the Scandinavian Defense games into one ECO code, you’re essentially comparing it with variations of other openings, and then it looks tremendously popular. If I were designing the codes, I would at least split the Scandinavian up into two variations, 1. e4 d5 2. ed Qxd5 and 1. e4 d5 2. ed Nf6.
Because these are all openings in group B, I’d also like to list the most popular opening variations in the other categories.
D02 (1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 various continuations — not 2. … Nf6) — 8527 games C41 (Philidor!) — 8395 E11 (Bogo-Indian) — 8313 A30 (Symmetric English — not 2. Nc3 Nc6 or 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4) — 8005 games
I was stunned to see Philidor’s Defense up there. I had no idea that it has become so popular among masters. Among amateurs, sure. Dang, maybe I’ll even start playing it.
Least Popular ECO Code
I thought this category would be a lot of fun, but unfortunately I don’t quite trust the results. I think that there may have been problems with categorizing some of the more unusual variations. Nevertheless, we do appear to have a clear winner: A76, the Classical Benoni with 9. … Re8 (Czerniak Variation) where White doesn’t play 10. Nfd2. It has only been played 18 times in the database. I guess the variation is played out (especially for White; I wouldn’t want to play it). Also, 10. Nfd2 is the best option for White, so not too many masters play anything else. Here are the top five unpopular openings, according to the database:
A76 (Benoni Czerniak without 10. Nfd2) — 18 games E78 (King’s Indian, Four Pawns Attack) — 27 games E79 (King’s Indian, Four Pawns Attack) — 27 games D69 (Queen’s Gambit Declined, Ultra-Classical Variation that goes 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e3 O-O 6. Nf3 Nbd7 7. Rc1 c6 8. Bd3 dc 9. Bxc4 Nd5 10. Bxe7 Qxe7 11. O-O Nxc3 12. Rxc3 e5 13. de. This is truly analyzing the opening to | 6,222 |
to enable the automatic creation of a -launcher.js file, which calls the main method of your application. This convenient setting is being deprecated in favor of an even more convenient feature:
scalaJSUseMainModuleInitializer := true
will include the call to the main method (of a js.JSApp object) directly inside the -fastopt.js and -opt.js files produced by Scala.js. No need for a -launcher.js file at all anymore!
New features
@JSExportStatic
A long awaited feature was to be able to declare static methods and fields in Scala.js-defined JS classes. This is now possible, with @JSExportStatic. When defining a Scala.js-defined JS class, this annotation can be used on members of its companion object:
@JSExportTopLevel ( "Foo" ) @ScalaJSDefined class Foo extends js. Object object Foo { @JSExportStatic val a : Int = 42 @JSExportStatic def b ( x : Int ) : Int = x + 1 }
The members will be available as static members of Foo. Assuming that Foo itself is exported to JavaScript (with @JSExportTopLevel ), then we can access these members as follows:
console. log ( Foo. a ); // 42 console. log ( Foo. b ( 5 )); // 6
var s, getters and setters can also be similarly exported as static.
js.Symbol, js.Iterable[+A] and js.Iterator[+A]
The standard library now includes definitions for some new ECMAScript 2015 types:
js.Symbol represents a JavaScript primitive symbol.
represents a JavaScript primitive. js.Iterable[+A] is an abstract type for JavaScript objects that can be iterated with for..of. In Scala.js, they can be iterated using a normal for comprehension, as expected.
is an abstract type for JavaScript objects that can be iterated with. In Scala.js, they can be iterated using a normal comprehension, as expected. js.Iterator[+A] is a JavaScript iterator, which is the result of the method [Symbol.iterator] of iterables.
@JSName accepts JavaScript symbols
In JavaScript types (extending js.Any, both native and non-native), members can be annotated with @JSName("someName") to specify their JavaScript name, if it needs to be different than the Scala name. With this release, @JSName has been augmented to also accept a reference to a js.Symbol. This is useful/necessary to declare members whose “name” are JavaScript symbols.
For example, one can define a custom JavaScript iterable (which needs to implement a method [Symbol.iterator] ) as follows:
@ScalaJSDefined class SingletonIterable [ +A ]( onlyItem : A ) extends js. Iterable [ A ] { @JSName ( js. Symbol. iterator ) def jsIterator () : js.Iterator [ A ] = new js. Iterator [ A ] { private var done : Boolean = false def next () : js.Iterator.Entry [ A ] = { if ( done ) { new js. Iterator. Entry [ A ] { val done : Boolean = true def value : Nothing =??? } } else { done = true new js. Iterator. Entry [ A ] { val done : Boolean = false val value : A = onlyItem } } } } }
An object of that class can be iterated in JavaScript with a for..of loop:
for ( const item of someSingletonIterable ) { console. log ( item ); // displays once the `onlyItem` }
@JSExportTopLevel for fields
In addition to being able to use @JSExportTopLevel on methods, which was introduced in 0.6.14, as well as on object s and class es as described above, @JSExportTopLevel can also be used on fields ( val s and var s) to export top-level variables to JavaScript. For example:
object Foo { @JSExportTopLevel ( "bar" ) val bar = 42 @JSExportTopLevel ( "foobar" ) var foobar = "hello" }
exports bar and foobar to the top-level, so that they can be used from JavaScript as
console. log ( bar ); // 42 console. log ( foobar ); // "hello"
If you emit a CommonJS module, the variables are fields of the module instance:
const ScalaJSModule = require ( 'foo-fastopt.js' ); console. log ( ScalaJSModule. bar ); // 42 console. log ( ScalaJSModule. foobar ); // "hello | 6,223 |

Need advice on love, dating, and relationships? The Boiling Waters PH podcast will give it to you straight. It is hosted by two anonymous men (whom you may refer to as Cactus 1 and Cactus 2) who wanted to better guide people into making wiser decisions in love beyond the memes and quotes they post on their Facebook page.
“We’ve been creating content, articles, memes about life and relationships before and we just added [this] podcast to dive deeper on our topics,” they tell us. “We’re also inspired by the stories of people we are receiving every day. Sabi nga namin, ‘bawal masaktan kung friends lang’ (As we always say, you can’t take it personally if you’re just friends).”

5. The Halo-Halo Show
Hosted by current RX 93.1 radio DJs Rica G and JC Tevez, The Halo-Halo Show is a podcast that talks about anything and everything under the sun (hence the name, halo-halo meaning a huge mix of things).
Both Rica and JC make it a point to make the podcast as real and as raw as possible and without post-editing. “The concept came from ignorance to be honest, because (even to this day) we don’t really know how to produce a podcast with effects, theme song, breaks etc. So we just kind of winged it, to the point where we sing our theme song every single time, make our own sound effects with our mouths, and it’s been that way ever since,” they share.
They love to connect with their listeners through ‘Leche Fan-Mail’ and occasionally invite guests on the show for their Tres Leches episodes.

The Linya-Linya Show is a comedy podcast based on the daily experiences of Filipinos—and all the fun, laughter, and nuggets of wisdom that come our way. According to the host and founder of clothing brand Linya-Linya, Ali Sangalang (@alingawngaw), the goal of the podcast is to “share the unique Filipino experience and spread love and laughter—just like Linya-Linya.”
“Nag-stick lang kami sa Linya-Linya (We stuck with Linya-Linya) as a brand: Everyday Pinoy experiences communicated in a humorous but contemplative way,” says Ali. “Kaya kasi naming pag-usapan yung mabababaw hanggang malalalim na bagay, sa paraang magaan pa ring pakinggan. Parang nakikinig ka lang talaga sa ilang mga kaibigan. (It’s because we’re able to have shallow to deep conversations that are easy to listen to and follow. It’s really just like listening to your friends talking.)”
The Linya-Linya Show currently has 53 episodes, most of which Ali hosted with his previous co-host, standup comedian Victor Anastacio (@victoranastacio).

koje su od početka 2015. do kraja marta 2016. godine u firmu unijele po još 1,25 miliona maraka kapitala.
Dvadeset dana nakon posljednje uplate dogovorili su se da MDC otkupi i Ramićev udio u „Termesu“, a potom u „Ziraat banci“ uzimaju kredit od tri miliona maraka koji garantuju vilom „Dalmacija“.
Najveći dio novca – 2,3 miliona maraka – isplaćen je Ramiću za njegov udio u „Termesu“, a 485.000 maraka za plaćanje dugova dobavljačima.
Mjesec dana poslije Amer Bukvić je uplatio 150.000 maraka u MDC koji je do tada formalno pripadao njegovoj majci Vahidi i tako postao većinski vlasnik ove firme. Uz njih dvoje u firmi je ostao i Edin Sefo.
Bukvić je tako kao većinski vlasnik MDC-a postao i vlasnik „Termesa“, profitabilne kompanije koja drži Hotel „Krone“. Bukvić preko ovih firmi danas ima suvlasništvo u poznatim sarajevskim restoranima: „Cordoba“, „Sevilla“, „Marbella“, „Food Market“, „Kimono“…
Dvije penzionerke su, prema dokumentima, u ovom poslu bile samo formalno. Iako mu je zvanično partner u biznisu sa hotelom bila Vahida Bukvić, prema Ramićevim riječima, on je sve poslove dogovarao sa njezinim sinom.
Paralelno s ovim, Fikreta Gavrankapetanović je imala sličnu ulogu u porodičnom poslu sa nekretninama. Sa penzionerskim primanjima za tri godine je kupila: tri stana, pet garaža i parking-mjesta te ostavu i na to potrošila 758.000 KM. Poklonila ih je sinu Farisu, o čemu je CIN pisao 2014. godine. Fikreta Gavrankapetanović je u penziji od kraja rata, a u vrijeme ulaganja nije imala druge prijavljene prihode. Prije pet godina je novinarima rekla da je novac zaradila devedesetih, radeći kao mikrobiolog u jednoj vojnoj bolnici u Tripoliju u Libiji i da je nekretnine kupila kako bi ih ostavila djeci. Na pitanje novinara zašto ih je poklonila samo jednom sinu, odgovorila je: „Ja sam to sa advokatom završila, to će oni rasporediti kad ja umrem“.
Kada je osumnjičen za zloupotrebu položaja, Faris Gavrankapetanović je većinu te imovine prebacio na suprugu Almu.
Firma Hameda Ramića EURO-ASFALT je radila rekonstrukciju hotela koja je, prema njegovim riječima, sa opremanjem koštala dva miliona maraka. Rekao je da je iz partnerstva sa Bukvićem izašao jer posao sa hotelijerstvom nije za njegovu poslovnu grupaciju (Foto: CIN)

Semyon Rosenfeld, who was the last living Holocaust survivor who participated in the revolt and escape from the Sobibor death camp, died Monday at the age of 97 in a hospital in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv.
Rosenfeld, who moved to Israel from the Ukraine in 1990, was survived by his two sons and five grandchildren. He had been living in a retirement community in Yad Binyamin in central Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted an obituary on his Facebook page.

“Seymon Rosenfeld, Holocaust survivor and the last from Sobibor, has passed away,” Netanyahu wrote. “Semyon was born in 1922 in a small village in Ukraine. He joined the Red Army, was taken captive by the Nazis, but managed to escape the death camp and continue to fight the Nazis. May his memory be blessed.”
סמיון רוזנפלד, ניצול השואה והשורד האחרון מסוביבור, הלך לעולמו.סמיון רוזנפלד נולד בשנת 1922 בכפר קטן באוקראינה. הוא… פורסם על ידי Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו ב- יום שני, 3 ביוני 2019
Blue and White party No. 2 MK Yair Lapid tweeted, “I salute the memory of Semyon Rosenfeld, a Holocaust survivor who participated in the revolt in the Sobibor death camp where a quarter of a million Jews were murdered. May his memory be blessed, may we be worthy of his death with our lives.”
Jewish agency chairman Isaac Herzog tweeted of his “great sadness” at Rosenfeld’s death. “A true hero, it is our duty to transmit from generation to generation the story of his life and all those of his generation. Condolences to his family and to all those who knew him.”
Rosenfeld was born in the small town of Ternivka in 1922, and in 1940 joined the Red Army. While he was away fighting the Germans, his entire family was killed by the Nazis and buried in a mass grave near the town.
According to Channel 12, Rosenfeld once said that before the war there was no anti-Semitism where he lived.
He was captured by the Germans in 1941 after being seriously injured in the leg and sent to a labor camp in Minsk, Belarus, with over 200 other Jewish prisoners from the Red Army.
From Minsk he was sent in 1943 to Sobibor in Poland, a notorious extermination camp where over 250,000 Jews were murdered between April 1942 and October 1943.
Rosenfeld once recalled that when he arrived he lied to the Nazis about having a profession, a tactic that saved his life. While he was sent to work in the carpentry shop, others were quickly murdered, Channel 12 reported.
A few weeks after his arrival at Sobibor, he asked a German officer about the whereabouts of all the other prisoners who had arrived with him. The officer pointed to the smoke coming from the crematorium and said, “Your friends are there.”
In October 1943, a group of prisoners, led by Red Army officer Aleksandr “Sasha” Pechersky, revolted in a bold attempt to liberate all of the camp’s inmates. They succeeded in killing 11 Nazi camp officers before the plan was discovered and guards opened fire. Some 300 prisoners tried to flee the camp, but most were either killed immediately or in the following days as the Nazis rounded them up.
Shortly after the revolt and escape, the Nazis dismantled the camp and tried to hide its existence by planting trees over it.
Rosenfeld survived by hiding in the woods with a handful of other prisoners until 1944, when he rejoined the Red Army and participated in the capture of Berlin. He was demobilized in 1945 and returned to his homeland, later moving to Israel.
Some of his family now lives in the US.
The prison camp revolt was the subject of the 1987 film “Escape from Sobibor” staring Rutger Hauer as Pechersky | 6,231 |
《十五小豪杰》, or “Little Hero Fifteen”), and the audacious style of translation-cum-adaptation came to be known as “heroic translation.” [3]
The Age of Heroic Translators had arrived.
An Example: Jules Verne’s De la terre à la lune
Let’s take a look at heroic translation with an example taken from Verne’s De la terre à la lune (1865). Here’s the first sentence of the original French:
Pendant la guerre fédérale des États-Unis, un nouveau club très influent s'établit dans la ville de Baltimore, en plein Maryland.
And here is a fairly literal English translation by Lewis Mercier and Eleanor E. King (1873):
During the War of the Rebellion, a new and influential club was established in the city of Baltimore in the State of Maryland.
The following Japanese translation was published by Inoue Tsutomu (井上勤) in 1886. Inoue worked from an English translation (which I have not been able to locate).
Back-translated into English (credit for the back translation goes to Lisa Tang Liu), the first two sentences read:
In the midst of the United Provinces of America's War of Independence, in a place called "Baltimore" that was the capital city of "Maryland," a province within the United Provinces, a most awe-inspiring new club was established.
This is actually a fairly close rendering (Inoue reserves his heroism for elsewhere). But note that Inoue introduced two mistakes (probably due to imperfect knowledge): 1) confusing the War of Independence with the Civil War, and 2) mistaking Baltimore for Maryland’s capital. The process of cultural negotiation and linguistic adaptation is filled with such pitfalls. (As a side note, while it is true that English translations of Verne’s original during the 19 th century were often quite bad, it does not seem plausible that Inoue inherited these errors from the English translator since English translators were unlikely to confuse the Civil War with the American Revolution).
With the move from Japanese to Chinese, we encounter the writer Lu Xun, generally considered the “father” of modern Chinese literature. Lu Xun was also one of the first Chinese to fall in love with science fiction. In 1903, as a 22-year-old medical student in Japan who had studied Japanese for only a year, he translated Verne’s De la terre à la lune based on Inoue’s Japanese version. Lu Xun thought of the act of translation as a vital piece of the revolutionary work of introducing scientific thinking to the Chinese:
The typical reader is bored by the tediousness of science books and cannot finish them. But when dressed up in the form of fiction, the science can seep into readers’ minds without boring them. … As the reader’s heart is touched, the reader gains insight and wisdom without taxing the mind, knowledge that would break down legacy superstitions, improve their thoughts, and supplement our culture. What a powerful tool is such fiction! - Lu Xun, Preface to From the Earth to the Moon
Like the Japanese translators before him, he engaged in a second level of adaptation and re-creation as he transformed the Japanese text into Chinese. I’ve back-translated the equivalent to the first sentence of the original Verne into English below:
Anyone who has studied world geography and history knows of a place called America. As for the American War of Independence, even children know that it was an earth-shattering event, a deed that ought to be recalled often and never forgotten. Now, among all those states that participated in the war, one of them was called Maryland, whose capital, Baltimore, was a famous city teeming with crowds and packed with the traffic of horses and carriages. In this city was a club, magnificent in appearance, and as soon as you saw the high-flying American flag flapping in the wind in front, you naturally felt a sense of awe.
This is not anything we’d call a “translation.” In addition to retaining Inoue’s errors, Lu Xun greatly elaborated on the original, paying little heed to fidelity to the source text. But these additions make sense in historical context: the geography and history of the United States might be assumed to be basic background knowledge for the French or British reader, but not for the Chinese reader. Lu Xun not only needed to give his audience a sense of the bustle and importance of Baltimore, he also apparently felt that he | 6,232 |

黄师傅 (00:36 – 01:01) 刚开始接触太极拳那应该是九五年，那个时候中央电视台放了那个简化的陈氏太极拳那个教学视屏，我大概看了一下就对它产生了一种兴趣，然后直到两千年的时候我才正式找了一个老师学习那个陈氏太极拳。 GāngKāishǐ jiēchù tàijíquán nà yīnggāi shì jiǔ wǔ nián, nàgè shíhòu zhōngyāng diànshìtái fàng le nàgè jiǎnhuà de chén shì tàijíquán nàgè jiàoxué shìpíng, wǒ dàgài kàn le yíxià jiù duì tā chǎnshēng le yì zhǒng xìngqù, ránhòu zhídào liǎng qiān nián de shíhòu wǒ cái zhèngshì zhǎole yígè lǎoshī xuéxí nàgè chén shì tàijíquán.

Block.
I once read an editorial, in late ’78, following the then Archbishop O Fiaich’s ‘sewer pipes of Calcutta’ statement. It said it was to the everlasting shame of the Irish people that the archbishop had to, and I paraphrase, stir the moral conscience of the people on the H-Block issue. A lot of time has passed since then, a lot of torture, in fact the following year was the worst we experienced.
Now I wonder who will stir the Cardinal’s moral conscience…
Bear witness to both right and wrong, stand up and speak out. But don’t we know that what has to be said is ‘political’, and it’s not that these people don’t want to become involved in politics, it’s simply that their politics are different, that is, British.
My dear friend Tomboy’s father died today. I was terribly annoyed, and it has upset me.
I received several notes from my family and friends. I have only read the one from my mother — it was what I needed. She has regained her fighting spirit — I am happy now.
My old friend Seanna (Walsh, a fellow blanket man) has also written.
I have an idea for a poem, perhaps tomorrow I will try to put it together.
Every time I feel down I think of Armagh, and James Connolly. They can never take those thoughts away from me.
Tuesday 3rd
I’m feeling exceptionally well today. (It’s only the third day, I know, but all the same I’m feeling great.) I had a visit this morning with two reporters, David Beresford of The Guardian and Brendan O Cathaoir of The Irish Times. Couldn’t quite get my flow of thoughts together. I could have said more in a better fashion.
63 kgs today, so what?
A priest was in. Feel he’s weighing me up psychologically for a later date. If I’m wrong I’m sorry — but I think he is. So I tried to defuse any notion of that tonight. I think he may have taken the point. But whether he accepts it, will be seen. He could not defend my onslaught on Bishop Daly — or at least he did not try.
I wrote some notes to my mother and to Mary Doyle in Armagh; and will write more tomorrow. The boys are now all washed. But I didn’t get washed today. They were still trying to get men their first wash.
I smoked some ‘bog-rolled blows’ today, the luxury of the Block!
They put a table in my cell and are now placing my food on it in front of my eyes. I honestly couldn’t give a damn if they placed it on my knee. They still keep asking me silly questions like, ‘Are you still not eating?’
I never got started on my poem today, but I’ll maybe do it tomorrow. The trouble is I now have more ideas.
Got papers and a book today. The book was Kipling’s Short Stories with an introduction of some length by W. Somerset Maugham. I took an instant dislike to the latter on reading his comment on the Irish people during Kipling’s prime as a writer: ‘It is true that the Irish were making a nuisance of themselves.’ Damned too bad, I thought, and bigger the pity it wasn’t a bigger nuisance! Kipling I know of, and his Ulster connection. I’ll read his stories tomorrow.
Ag rá an phaidrín faoi dhó achan lá atá na buachaillí anois. Níl aon rud eile agam anocht. Sin sin. (Translated this reads as follows: The boys are now saying the rosary twice every day. I have nothing else tonight. That’s all.)
Wednesday 4th
Fr Murphy was in tonight. I have not felt too bad today, although I notice the energy beginning to drain. But it is quite early yet. I got showered today and had my hair cut, which made me feel quite good. Ten years younger, the boys joke, but I feel twenty years older, the inevitable consequence of eight years of torture and imprisonment.
I am abreast with the news and view with utter disgust and anger the Reagan/Thatcher plot. It seems quite clear that they intend to counteract Russian expansionism with imperialist expansionism, to protect their vital interests they say.
What they mean is they covet other nations’ resources. They want to steal what they haven | 6,234 |
of hate. I’m glad to say that I am not like that.
Well, I must go to rest up as I found it tiring trying to comb my hair today after a bath.
So venceremos, beidh bua againn eigin la eigin. Sealadaigh abu.
(Translated, this reads as follows:)
So venceremos, we will be victorious someday. Up the Provos.
Sunday 15th
Frank has now joined me on the hunger-strike. I saw the boys at Mass today which I enjoyed. Fr Toner said Mass.
Again it was a pretty boring day. I had a bit of trouble to get slopped out tonight and to get water.
I have a visit tomorrow and it will be good to see my family. I am also looking forward to the walk in the fresh air, it will tire me out, but I hope the weather is good. I must go.
Monday 16th
I had a wonderful visit today with my mother, father and Marcella. Wonderful, considering the circumstances and the strain which indeed they are surely under.
As I expected, I received a lot of verbal flak from Screws going and coming from the actual visit. Their warped sense of humour was evident in their childish taunts, etcetera.
I wrapped myself up well to keep me from the cold. My weight is 58.25 kgs today, but I burnt up more energy today with the visit. I’ve no complaints of any nature.
I’ve noticed the orderlies are substituting slices of bread for bits of cake, etcetera — stealing the sweet things (which are rare anyway) for themselves. I don’t know whether it’s a case of ‘How low can you get?’ or ‘Well, could you blame them?’ But they take their choice and fill of the food always, so it’s the former.
They left my supper in tonight when the priest (Fr Murphy) was in. There were two bites out of the small doughy bun. I ask you!
I got the Sunday World newspaper; papers have been scarce for the past few days.
There is a certain Screw here who has taken it upon himself to harass me to the very end and in a very vindictive childish manner. It does not worry me, the harassment, but his attitude aggravates me occasionally. It is one thing to torture, but quite a different thing to exact enjoyment from it, that’s his type.
There was no mirror search going out to visits today — a pleasant change. Apparently, with the ending of the no-wash protest, the mercenary Screws have lost all their mercenary bonuses, etcetera, notwithstanding that they are also losing overtime and so on. So, not to be outdone, they aren’t going to carry out the mirror search any more, and its accompanying brutality, degradation, humiliation, etcetera.
Why! Because they aren’t being paid for it!
I’m continually wrapped up in blankets, but find it hard to keep my feet warm. It doesn’t help my body temperature, drinking pints of cold water. I’m still able to take the salt and five or six pints of water per day without too much discomfort.
The books that are available to me are trash. I’m going to ask for a dictionary tomorrow. I’d just sit and flick through that and learn, much more preferable to reading rubbish.
The English rag newspapers I barely read, perhaps flick through them and hope that no one opens the door. A copy of last week’s AP/RN was smuggled in and was read out last night (ingenuity of POWs again). I enjoyed listening to its contents (faultless – get off them! – good lad Danny (Morrison)). I truly hope that the people read, take in and understand at least some of the truths that are to be regularly found in it. I see Paddy Devlin is at his usual tricks, and won’t come out and support the prisoners…
Well, that’s it for tonight. I must go. Oíche Mhaith.

Lá Pádraig inniú ‘s mar is gnách níor thárla aon rud suntasach, bhí mé ar aifreann agus mo chuid gruaige gearrtha agam níos gaire, agus é i bhfad níos fearr freisin. Sagart nach raibh ar mo aithne abhí ag rá ran aif | 6,235 |
reann.
Bhí na giollaí ag tabhairt an bhia amach do chách abhí ag teacht ar ais ón aifreann. Rinneadh iarracht chun tabhairt pláta bidh domhsa. Cuireadh ós cómhair m’aghaidh ach shiúl mé ar mo shlí mar is nach raibh aon duine ann.
Fuair mé cúpla nuachtán inniú agus mar shaghas malairt bhí an Nuacht na hEireann ann. Táim ag fáil pé an scéal atá le fáil óna buachaillí cibé ar bith.
Choniac mé ceann dona dochtúirí ar maidun agus é gan béasaí. Cuireann sé tuirse ormsa. Bhí mo chuid meachain 57.50 kgs. Ní raibh aon ghearán agam.
Bhí oifigcach isteach liom agus thug sé beagán íde béil domhsa. Arsa sé ‘tchim go bhfuil tú ag léigheadh leabhar gairid. Rudmaith nach leabhar fada é mar ní chrlochnóidh tú é’.
Sin an saghas daoine atá iontu. Ploid orthu. Is cuma liom. Lá fadálach ab ea é. Bhí mé ag smaoineamh inniú ar an chéalacán seo. Deireann daoine a lán faoin chorp ach ní chuireann muinín sa chorp ar bith. Measaim ceart go leor go bhfuil saghas troda.
An dtús ní ghlacann leis an chorp an easpaidh bidh, is fulaingíonn sé ón chathú bith, is greithe airithe eile a bhíonn ag síorchlipeadh an choirp. Troideann an corp ar ais ceart go leor, ach deireadh an lae; téann achan rud ar ais chuig an phríomhrud, is é sin an mheabhair.
Is é an mheabhair an rud is tábhachtaí. Mura bhfuil meabhair láidir agat chun cur in aghaidh le achan rud, ní mhairfidh. Ní bheadh aon sprid troda agat. Is ansin cen áit as a dtigeann an mheabhair cheart seo. B’fhéidir as an fhonn saoirse.
Ní hé cinnte gurb é an áit as a dtigeann sé. Mura bhfuil siad in inmhe an fonn saoirse a scriosadh, ní bheadh siad in inmhe tú féin a bhriseadh. Ní bhrisfidh siad mé mar tá an fonn saoirse, agus saoirse mhuintir na hEireann i mo chroí.
Tiocfaidh lá éigin nuair a bheidh an fonn saoirse seo le taispeáint ag daoine go léir na hEireann ansin tchífidh muid éirí na gealaí.
(Translated, this reads as follows:)
St Patrick’s Day today and, as usual, nothing noticeable. I was at Mass, my hair cut shorter and much better also. I didn’t know the priest who said Mass.
The orderlies were giving out food to all who were returning from Mass. They tried to give me a plate of food. It was put in front of my face but I continued on my way as though nobody was there.
I got a couple of papers today, and as a kind of change the Irish News was there. I’m getting any news from the boys anyway.
I saw one of the doctors this morning, an ill-mannered sort. It tries me. My weight was 57.70 kgs. I had no | 6,236 |
Frans Timmermans, eerste vicevoorzitter van de Europese Commissie, stelt zich vanmiddag kandidaat als lijsttrekker voor de PvdA voor de Europese Verkiezingen. Daarnaast zal Timmermans zich opwerpen als gegadigde om Commissievoorzitter Jean-Claude Juncker op te volgen. Welke hindernissen moet hij nog overwinnen, en wie zijn de concurrenten van het PvdA-kopstuk?
In Heerlen, waar hij woonde voordat hij naar Brussel vertrok, stelt Timmermans zich naar verwachting rond 17.00 uur in een café kandidaat als PvdA-lijsttrekker bij de verkiezingen voor het Europees Parlement volgend jaar mei. Tegelijk komt de Limburger met de mededeling dat hij ‘Spitzenkandidat’ wil worden namens de Partij van Europese Socialisten (PES). Dat meldden sociaal-democraten in Brussel dinsdag aan nieuwswebsite Politico.
Die SPD unterstützt Frans Timmermans als EU-Spitzenkandidat. Er hat damit die nötigen neun Länderorganisationen als Unterstützer zusammen und gilt damit als Favorit im internen Rennen der europäischen Sozialdemokraten.

Duitse SPD steunt Timmermans
In de brief hierboven spreekt Andrea Nahles, leider van de Duitse SPD, haar steun uit aan de kandidatuur van Timmermans. ‘Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat Frans Timmermans onze Europese partijfamilie verenigt en versterkt, en ons naar een sterk resultaat bij de verkiezingen voor het Europees Parlement zal leiden,’ schrijft Nahles aan het PES-bestuur.
Vier niet bij naam genoemde ‘officials’ van het Europees Parlement zouden volgens Politico hebben gezegd dat er genoeg steun is vanuit de fractie. Toch zouden er ook twijfels zijn bij een deel van de Brusselse sociaal-democraten: een partij die in eigen land in de oppositie zit en veel aan populariteit heeft ingeboet, is volgens sommigen niet de beste keus om het Europese boegbeeld van de sociaal-democraten te worden.
Strijd met fractievoorzitter Paul Tang om lijsttrekkerschap
Voordat Timmermans leider van de Europese sociaal-democraten kan worden, heeft hij sowieso eerst de steun van de Brusselse PvdA-vertegenwoordiging nodig. De huidige fractievoorzitter Paul Tang wil de partij ook volgend jaar weer leiden. Eind september zei hij nog dat hij er niet over piekert om zijn positie af te staan aan Timmermans. ‘Ik zou niet zo goed weten waarom ik dat zou overwegen, om eerlijk te zijn. We hebben misschien wel te lang vertrouwd op gezichten, het wordt weer tijd voor een strijdbare sociaal-democratie.’ Als de PvdA intern verdeeld blijkt, kan het tot een stemming komen onder de partijleden.

FIA GT Commission
The FIA GT Commission will work towards doubling the number of FIA GT events, one dedicated to manufactures – the FIA GT World Cup – and the second dedicated to a more traditional PRO/AM format. This additional event would take place in a different venue and at a different date to the FIA GT World Cup. The Commission aims to launch an invitation to tender for a promoter to propose the full concept of an FIA GT3 PRO/AM customer event.

Appointment of the FIA Secretary-General for Sport
This was the final FIA World Motor Sport Council prepared by Jean-Louis Valentin, who is leaving his position as Secretary-General for Sport. Mr Valentin was elected to the presidency of the urban community of Cotentin in January of this year, and consequently will be unable to continue in his role within the Federation. FIA President Jean Todt, along with the assembled members of the World Motor Sport Council, thanked him for his valuable contribution to motor sport since his appointment in 2014, and wished him well as for the future as he goes on to serve his community in government.
The World Council welcomed Peter Bayer, who was nominated for the position by FIA President Jean Todt. With the approval of the World Council, Mr Bayer will assume the role from 10 March.
The next meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council will be held in Geneva on 19 June, 2017.

て最後に、 make コマンドをタイプして。運がよければ Parrot のテスト用インタプリタが無事にビルドされるかもね。（もしできなかったら、苦情をいうためのアドレスはこの紹介の最後にあるよ・・・）
You'll then be asked a series of questions about your local configuration; you can almost always hit return for each one. Finally, you'll be told to type make; with any luck, Parrot will successfully build the test interpreter. (If it doesn't, the address to complain to is at the end of this introduction...)
テストスート
さあ、テストを動かそう。 make test ってタイプして、次のような実行結果をみてくれ。
Now we should run some tests; so type make test and you should see a readout like the following:
perl t/harness t/op/basic.....ok, 1/2 skipped: label constants unimplemented in assembler t/op/string....ok, 1/4 skipped: I'm unable to write it! All tests successful, 2 subtests skipped. Files=2, Tests=6, 2 wallclock secs ( 1.19 cusr + 0.22 csys = 1.41 CPU)
（もちろん、これよりもいっぱいテストはあるけど、大体の雰囲気はつかめると思う。いろいろな理由から、テストは省略されることもある。ただし失敗するテストが出てきたりするのはまずいので注意しよう）
(Of course, there are many more tests than this, but you get the idea; tests may be skipped - for one reason or another - but none of them should fail!)
問題の報告
もし、Parrot について問題があったら、[email protected] へ、その問題を書いて送ってくれ。そのときには、ビルド時に作った myconfig を含めてね。
If you have problems with parrot, please send a message to [email protected] with a description of your problem. Please include the myconfig file that was generated as part of the build process.
パロットのコンセプト - Parrot Concepts
Parrot アセンブリに入る前に、簡単にいくつかのコンセプトをみておきましょう。
Before we dive into programming Parrot assembly, let's take a brief look at some of the concepts involved.
型 - Types
Parrot CPU には、4つの基本的なデータ型がある。
The Parrot CPU has four basic data types:
INTVAL 整数型; ポインタを抱えるのに十分な大きさであることを保証. FLOATVAL アーキテクチャ依存の不動小数点型. STRING 抽象化されたエンコーディング独立な文字列型. PMC その他の型。たとえば (perl の) スカラー型や配列型.
INTVAL An integer type; guaranteed to be wide enough to hold a pointer. FLOATVAL An architecture-independent floating point type. STRING An abstracted, encoding-independent string type. PMC Other types lile a (perl) scalar or an array.

On the ride home from Catholic Mass early on Sunday mornings, like clockwork, I’d lean up from the back seat with a request.
“Can we listen to KRVS?”
My mother, riding shotgun as my dad drove, always obliged. Her finger would flick the dial to 88.7 and suddenly our truck morphed into a dance hall as the speakers blasted accordion, fiddle, and triangle along with the wailing of French. To my young ears, the rhythms mixed into a delightful sound that begged me to gyrate in my seat. And although I could never decipher those words, my father often did his best to translate for me.
Jolie blonde, jolie fille. Tu m’as quitté pour t’en aller. T’en aller, jolie blonde avec un autre.
“Dad, what’s he saying? What’s all that mean?”
Pretty blonde, pretty girl. You left me to go away. Go away, pretty blonde with another.
After a while, I could recite every lyric to “Jolie Blonde” without knowing what half the words meant. Unknown to me at the time, this sound was distinct only to my little slice of the world in south Louisiana called Acadiana — 22 parishes that are the adopted home of the Acadians who settled in the region after their 1755 British deportation from Acadie, now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. But before and after the Acadians arrived, the area housed a vastly larger population of Creoles, those with roots tied to Europe or Africa who were born and made a home in Louisiana. It’s also the ancestral home of Native American tribes like the Houma, Chitimacha, Tunica-Biloxi, Attakapas, and Coushatta. Over generations, these groups coalesced into a people distinct within the United States — with their own customs, moral codes, food, and music. Although at one time they spoke an array of languages ranging from Native American and African languages to Spanish and German, many adopted Louisiana French and Louisiana Creole as their own. As diverse as a bowl of gumbo, containing elements derived from all across the world, south Louisiana became a cultural stew unlike any region in the rest of the state, let alone the country.
Acadiana is a place where you can still witness the result of that incredible diversity, where the people retain a distinct cultural identity, and where you can hear Louisiana French and Creole, known to locals as Kouri-Vini. The languages are on the tongues of old men who gather early in the morning at gas stations for coffee. Or at the dance halls as musicians play our regional music. Food staples bear uniquely French labels, like étouffée, boudin and courtbouillon. Meanwhile, our familial names, like Ramariez, Dupuis, Waguespack, and Dardar, provide hints of the wide variety of our places of origin.
While the culture has, most ways, remained intact, the languages have been in decline for decades. Louisiana French is spoken by an estimated 100,000 people, according to 2013 census figures. Kouri-Vini is considered an endangered language, and speakers number far fewer than 10,000. That’s down dramatically from a figure in the late 1960s that showed francophones in Louisiana numbering around 1 million — nearly a third of the state’s population at the time. And before the 20th century, French and Kouri-Vini were the most common languages in the region.
By and large, those in Acadiana born before World War II used French or Kouri-Vini as a native tongue, a trend that has almost all but disappeared. Beginning with my parents’ generation — people who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s — English prevailed as the language learned at home. Millennials like me were raised in a primarily English-speaking world, but we also carried traditions shared nowhere else in the South, such as Courir de Mardi Gras, that connected us to our own past.
The more I have learned about my culture, and the regional languages that surround it, the more I realize I was robbed of an ancestral gift that should’ve been passed on to me. If language ties culture together, if it creates a deeper understanding of a people, then surely I’ve missed out on something fundamental to my family’s story.
For years, I tried to escape the swampy land I had been raised on. I traveled every chance I had before finally settling in Nashville late in 2016. Music City had so much to offer — live bands, breweries, and the Smoky Mountains only a short drive away — but the longer | 6,240 |

Clarification:
Peter Handke has always vehemently renounced nationalism and fascism:
Handke is reluctant to enter into contemporary debates, but when asked by a journalist about the nationalist wave in Europe, he replies: “I distinguish between nationalism and patriotism. My country is Austria. When someone insults my mother, my brothers, my country without knowing them, I become a patriot. But I am absolutely anti-nationalist.” [Bassets 2019]5
Already in an earlier interview Handke had said: “There is a difference between patriotism and nationalism. The patriot only reacts when their country is attacked,” [Müller 2007]. Handke goes even further in his work:
But I never became a “Slovene”, not even though I can read the language halfway in the meantime, a “half”; if today I see myself in something like a people, then it is that nobody6 – which can at times be salutary, at times hopeless (at those moments when I myself can no longer imagine the common bonds connecting that great nobody straying across the globe). [Handke 2018a, 10]
In his texts on Yugoslavia in particular Handke makes his opposition to German nationalism and fascism explicitly clear. German journalist Lothar Müller has called attention to this fact, writing: “The echo chamber of the debate on Handke’s Yugoslavia texts included not only the wars of that time, but the massacres of the Second World War as well” [Müller 2019].
In A Journey to the Rivers, Handke mentions Kragujevac and Kraljevo, places where, during Nazi occupation, the Germans massacred thousands [see Müller 2019 and Handke 2018c, 73]:
And, in contrast, how conscious was the German (and Austrian) people of what it did and caused to be done repeatedly in the Balkans during the Second World War? Was it simply “known,” or also really present, in the common memory, as was what happened with the Jews, or even only half so present, as it still is, from generation to generation, for the affected Yugoslavs […] [Handke 1997, 78-79]
5 In the original Spanish: “Handke es reacio a entrar en debates contemporáneos, pero cuando un periodista le pregunta sobre la ola nacionalista en Europa, responde: ‘Yo distingo entre nacionalismo y patriotismo. Mi país es Austria. Cuando alguien insulta a mi madre, a mis hermanos, a mi país sin conocerlos, me vuelvo patriota. Pero soy absolutamente antinacionalista’.” 6 German: “wenn ich mich heutzutage in so etwas wie einem Volk sehe, dann in jenem der Niemande“. This could also be translated as “if today I see myself in something like a people, then it ist he people of nobodies“.
This is precisely why he is wary of the new nationalism in the former Yugoslavia and, above all, the role of Germany there. He even wonders whether Germany of all countries should become involved in these conflicts, in what would be its first military mission since WWII and one without a UN mandate. Lothar Struck adds: “For a person like Peter Handke, who despises German National Socialism and its implications, it would be a historical atrocity for Germany of all countries, which occupied Yugoslavia during the Second World War and agreed to a pact with the Croatian fascists (and granted them a state of their own), to diplomatically destroy this state of Yugoslavia now” [Struck 2013, 33]. Handke reminds us that those crimes committed by the Germans during WWII can by no means be allowed to be forgotten: After the war, Jean-Paul Sartre visited Kragujevac. It’s an industrial city, with maybe 200,000 inhabitants. During the war there high-school students and their teachers were taken hostage by the Germans and murdered. Sartre could sense that the entire country was enveloped in pain; all of Serbia is painful. That pain comes from the Germans, and that must burn into the Germans’ hearts. [Handke 1996]
II.2 Some observers have written that Peter Handke’s texts incite hatred
Statements:
“Handke’s political leaflets are not literature – they are calls for hatred that reinforce prejudice.” [Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, cited in Andersson 2019]

adovoljavanje talijanskih i njemačkih interesa.
Izdajničkim ugovorom Pavelić je na milost i nemilost fašističkoj Italiji predao oko 400.000 Hrvata te neznatan broj Talijana. Još ranije, nakon Prvog svjetskog rata, Rapalskim ugovorima Italija je preuzela Istru, Rijeku i dijelove obale. Upravo su u Paveliću Talijani vidjeli čovjeka koji može ispuniti njihove apetite za hrvatskom obalom, pa nije ni čudo što su ga godinama prije rata u tajnosti obučavali i podržavali, čekajući povoljan trenutak kad će u ratnom ludilu svoju marionetu postaviti na vlast u Hrvatskoj.
Predaja teritorija bila je samo jedna od podaničkih stvari na koje je ustaška vlast bez pogovora pristala. Naime, dogovoreno je da NDH neće u većem dijelu primorja i unutrašnjosti podizati nikakve vojne objekte niti držati ratnu mornaricu. Italija je interesnu sferu u NDH podijelila na tri zone. Prva je zona izravno priključena Italiji, druga je postala demilitarizirana, odnosno snage NDH nisu smjele tu graditi vojne objekte. Treća, najudaljenija od mora, bila je pod kontrolom NDH. Naravno, ustaške sluge fašista obvezale su se plaćati troškove talijanske vojske na svom teritoriju.
Italija je 1943. godine kapitulirala, a NDH se domogla predanih teritorija slaveći to kao svoju veliku pobjedu. No, to nije bilo dugog vijeka. Godine 1945. Njemačka je izgubila rat, a time je propala ideja o NDH. Do tada su gotovo cijelu Dalmaciju i Istru oslobodile partizanske jedinice.
Postavljanje talijanskog princa za hrvatskog kralja
Osim prodaje Dalmacije Italiji, Ante Pavelić je talijanskog princa postavio za hrvatskog kralja.
Jedan od pobočnih članova talijanske vladajuće obitelji, Aimone Roberto Margherita Maria Giuseppe Torino di Savoia, talijanski princ iz kraljevske dinastije Savoja, časnik talijanske ratne mornarice, proglašen je ni manje ni više nego – kraljem Hrvatske s imenom Tomislav II. Od 1942. titula mu glasi: "Kralj Hrvatske, Princ Bosne i Hercegovine, Vojvoda Dalmacije, Tuzle i Knina, Vojvoda Aoste".
Dana 18. svibnja 1941. Tomislav II. na ceremoniji postaje službeno kralj Hrvatske: na ceremoniji održanoj u Kvirinalskoj palači u Rimu, Ante Pavelić je u pratnji nekoliko hrvatskih izaslanika formalno zatražio od talijanskoga kralja Viktora Emanuela III. da Amiona od Savoye imenuje hrvatskim kraljem.
Suradnja s četnicima
Pavelić je surađivao i s četnicima.

SEVENTEEN’s DK has successfully wrapped up his first musical!
DK took on the leading role of Arthur in the music “Xcalibur” in his first-ever musical and began wowing audiences from June 15 for two months, recently finishing his last performance and wrapping up his appearance in the musical.
Through his agency Pledis Entertainment, DK stated, “It was such a precious and happy time for me to learn and experience so much. Thanks to all of the help and encouragement I’ve received from so many people since I started rehearsing, I believe I was able to create an authentic Arthur.”
He also added, “I hope it will remain in your minds as a really good memory. Lastly, I want to sincerely thank everyone who attended the performances and I hope you will continue to anticipate what comes next for me and send your warm love and support. Thank you.”
DK also shared photos on SEVENTEEN’s Twitter account of his experience. He posted photos with the other cast members and wrote, “‘Xcalibur’… I love you, I love you, I love you everyone who went through this with me. Thank you so much for cheering me on so I could stay strong till the last show. I was so happy,” and “I won’t forget this memory and will cherish it in my heart. Everyone, please cherish ‘Xcalibur’ in your hearts with me!”

"Unless we accept that at this point in intellectual and scientific history that some radical re-learning is necessary, we cannot hope to move forward in the compulsive history of the ambivalent rejection-fascination with consciousness in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. My proposal implies that every good student of cognitive science who is also interested in issues at the level of mental experience, must inescapably attain a level of mastery in phenomenological examination in order to work seriously with first-person accounts. But this can only happen when the entire community adjusts itself to the corresponding acceptance of arguments, refereeing standards and editorial policies in major scientific journals, that can make this added competence an important dimension of a young researcher. To the long-standing tradition of objectivist science this sounds like anathema, and it is. But this is not a betrayal of science: it is a necessary extension and complement. Science and experience constrain and modify each other as in a dance. This is where the potential for transformation lies. It is also the key for the difficulties this position has found within the scientific community. It requires us to leave behind a certain image of how science is done, and to question a style of training in science which is part of the very fabric of our cultural identity | 6,251 |

JAFFA, Israel – Dozens of Quranic verses have been removed from the Jordanian national curriculum, including those referencing jihad, prompting criticism from the Muslim Brotherhood and its representatives in Jordan.
Huda Alatoum, an educator and high-profile MP for the Muslim Brotherhood, said that “far-reaching changes” have been introduced in Jordan’s school program that remove verses and hadiths (oral traditions) “pertaining to Prophet Mohammed’s life.”
“About 40 percent of the curriculum about Arabic language and Islam have been changed, including the removal of all reference to jihad and opposing the occupation of Palestine,” she charged, adding that “325 verses and 75 Islamic texts have been removed.”
She concluded by warning that “even worse changes” are ahead.
Alatoum said she decided to hold a press conference after her protest efforts in parliament met with failure. In her addresses to the plenary, she repeatedly claimed that the amendments were decided without the approval of parliament’s Education Committee.
Al-Monitor reported on the curriculum changes:
A religious and political dispute continues to brew in Jordan over a controversial move by the Ministry of Education to revamp the curricula of the three elementary grades. According to Deputy Prime Minister Jawad Anani, the changes are part of the government’s strategy to combat extremism in society.
Changes to school textbooks introduced this year involve coverage of Islam, history, Arabic and civics. For example, in civics, reference is made to acknowledge Christians as a demographic component of the population with pictures of churches as well as mosques. In religion, entire verses from the Quran and sayings by the Prophet Muhammad have been removed, while in Arabic literature, a picture of a veiled woman was replaced with one showing an unveiled woman. In Arabic-language textbooks for the third grade, a Quranic verse was replaced by a text on swimming. No changes were made to books on the sciences, mathematics and art.
The issue of extremism in the school curricula and the reforms proposed are dividing the country. Conservatives, including the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Action Front (IAF), which contested the Sept. 20 Lower House elections, have denounced the move “as an affront to our heritage and values aimed at distancing future generations from its religion, its Arab identity, its history and traditions.”
Alatoum’s campaign became a sensation on social media.
“That’s what the West wants, a generation that knows nothing about its religion except prayer and fasting,” Misbah tweeted. “They amend the curriculum pretending to root out extremism, but they introduce only corruption instead.”

“Allah bless Huda Alatoum,” Ibrahim Altamimi tweeted after a speech she gave in December.
https://twitter.com/IbrahimAlTamim4/status/812244569832226816
Mohammed Bilal called the new curriculum “American Islam,” saying, “Dr. Huda Alatoum, MP, talks about effectively teaching American Islam in her country. Allah forbid.”

German, like any other language, has particular words and expressions that can be used in more than one way. These include the short but tricky Wörter known as “particles” or “fillers.” I call them “small words that can cause big problems.”
Simple-Looking German Particles That Are Actually Tricky
German words such as aber, auch, denn, doch, halt, mal, nur, schon and even ja look deceptively simple, but are often a source of errors and misunderstanding for even intermediate learners of German. The main source of problems is the fact that each one of these words can have multiple meanings and functions in different contexts or situations.
Take the word aber. Most often it is encountered as a coordinating conjunction, as in: Wir wollten heute fahren, aber unser Auto ist kaputt. (“We wanted to go/drive today, but our car is broken down.”) In that context, aber functions like any of the coordinating conjunctions (aber, denn,oder, und). But aber can also be used as a particle: Das ist aber nicht mein Auto. (“That is, however, not my car.”) Or: Das war aber sehr hektisch. (“That was really very hectic.”)
Another characteristic that such particle-word examples make clear is that it is often difficult to translate the German word into an English word. German aber, contrary to what your first-year German teacher told you, does not always equal “but”! In fact, the Collins/PONS German-English dictionary uses one-third of a column for all of the uses of aber. Depending on how it is being used, the word aber can mean: but, and, at all, however, really, just, isn't it?, haven't you?, come on now or why. The word can even be a noun: Die Sache hat ein Aber. (“There's just one snag.” - das Aber) or Kein Aber! (“No ifs, ands or buts!”)
In fact, a German dictionary rarely offers much help in dealing with particles. They are so idiomatic that it is often impossible to translate them, even if you understand German pretty well. But throwing them into your German (as long as you know what you're doing!) can make you sound more natural and native-like.
To illustrate, let's use another example, the often over-used mal. How would you translate Sag mal, wann fliegst du? or Mal sehen.? In neither case would a good English translation actually bother to translate mal (or some of the other words) at all. With such idiomatic usage, the first translation would be “Say (Tell me), when does your flight leave?” The second phrase would be “We'll see” in English.
The word mal is actually two words. As an adverb, it has a mathematical function: fünf mal fünf(5×5). But it is as a particle and a shortened form of einmal (once), that mal is most often used in day-to-day conversation, as in Hör mal zu! (Listen!) or Kommt mal her! (Come over here!). If you listen carefully to German-speakers, you'll discover that they can hardly say anything without throwing in a mal here and there. (But it's not nearly as irritating as the use of “Ya know” in English!) So if you do the same (at the right time and in the right place!), you'll sound just like a German!
Uses of the German Word "Doch!"
The German word doch is so versatile that it can also be dangerous. But knowing how to use this word properly can make you sound like a true German (or Austrian or German Swiss)!
Let's start with the basics: ja, nein …and doch! Of course, two of the first words you ever learned in German were ja and nein. You probably knew those two words before you began studying German! But they aren't enough. You also need to know doch.
The use of doch to answer a question is not actually a particle function, but it is important. (We'll get back to doch as a particle in a moment.) English may have the largest vocabulary of any world language, but it doesn't have a single word for doch as an answer.
When you answer a question negatively or positively, you use nein/no or ja/yes, whether inDeutsch or English. But German adds a third one-word option, do | 6,257 |
Pat Hickey (above) is taken from the Hospital Samaritano Barra in a wheelchair to a waiting police car in Rio de Janeiro. Photo: Brendan Moran
Hey, Felipe, that was you on Wednesday morning, right? Holding the camera as the police entered the lobby of the Windsor Marapendi hotel? Filming the pictures as they crossed the marble floors from reception to the elevators? Capturing the moment when they reached the executive floor and marched purposefully down the corridor to the bedroom door.
"Knock knock."
Well, Felipe, pardon my Portuguese but I just wanted to say "muito, muito, obrigado" - thank you very, very much for restoring my faith in Rio and making this my all-time favourite Olympic Games. Two weeks ago, I wanted nothing to do with that putrid circus and nothing - not Bolt, not Phelps, not Farah - was going to change that.
But "parabens pelo otimo trabalho" - congratulations on a great job - because the pictures, your pictures, made me almost wish I was there.
Nine cameramen out of ten would have settled for those stills of his passport and his accreditation badge, and the plump pillows of his lavishly furnished bedroom, and his first-class ticket - a snip at £12,000 - to Rio with BA. Not you, Felipe, you kept the camera rolling.
"Knock, knock."

Pat Hickey opens the door:
"Hello?"
A police officer steps forward with a warrant for his arrest:
"Pat?"
Hickey is shocked:
"Yes."
He is also naked:
"Excuse me."
He retreats to the bathroom and searches for a robe.
And that's your moment of genius, Felipe, that's the moment that wins you the Oscar because nine guys out of ten would not have had the stomach for what happened next:
"Nunca mais."
No more.
"Basta."
That's enough.
Not you, Felipe. You've no idea who Pat Hickey is, or what the allegations are, but you've been watching these fat cats for a week, bleeding your country for money, lording it over your people - the cleaners and the volunteers - with their chauffeur-driven cars and lavish ($900) daily allowances. And it's this sense of injustice that keeps your finger on record and makes you follow him into the bathroom.
And maybe that's not fair, Felipe, but fair is not your business and it's only when the pictures go viral, and your phone starts ringing, that you realise you've just captured the enduring image of the Games - not Bolt, sprinting for another gold medal; not Phelps, making history in the pool; not Farah and his litany of dodgy coaches - but a wrinkled old man reaching for a bathrobe.
O seu flacido rabo branco.

Gibney showered the girl with attention. He promised her he would make her a star. He gave her gifts of swimming togs and tracksuits and hats and goggles. He hugged her every time she swam well. At the national championships, she streaked home first in four races. She was 16 years old and poised to be selected for the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992.
Justine McCarthy
'Deep Deception'
In July 2001, Pat Hickey received a death threat from a group called the Liberation Army of Tibet, who were aggrieved that the IOC had just awarded the 2008 Olympic Games to Beijing. Why they chose to target the Irishman on the committee remains a mystery, but Hickey has always had a talent for rubbing people up the wrong way.
More than 400 athletes have represented Ireland at the Olympics since 1989, when Hickey became president of the OCI, but has there been a single expression of support for him last week? Not that I've seen. Our politicians don't like him; he has few friends at the Sports Council and is despised by the media. Which begs the question, I guess.
How did Pat Hickey become the most hated man in Irish sport?

Por que o gol olímpico é tão raro em Copa do Mundo
Crédito, Getty Images Legenda da foto, Um gol marcado diretamente a partir de uma cobrança de escanteio não acontece no Mundial desde 1962
Gol de cabeça. Gol de letra. Gol de falta. Gol de cobertura. Gol irregular. Gol contra. Gol de placa. Gol de pênalti. Há muitas formas de se fazer um gol no futebol, mas, de todas, existe uma que você dificilmente verá na Copa do Mundo da Rússia: o gol olímpico, aquele que é marcado diretamente a partir de uma cobrança de escanteio - e que não acontece há 56 anos no Mundial.
O primeiro e último gol olímpico já registrado durante uma Copa do Mundo foi marcado no Chile, pelo colombiano Marcos Coll (1935-2017), em junho de 1962. Foi há tanto tempo que a adversária era a seleção da extinta União Soviética e a competição passava em preto e branco na TV.
A origem do nome adotado para esse tipo de lance foi baseada em uma ironia. Em 1924, um jogador da Argentina marcou um gol direto do escanteio pela primeira vez, contra o Uruguai, que era então o campeão olímpico.
Também ironicamente, desde então, só houve um único gol desse tipo na história das Olimpíadas: em Londres-2012, durante a semifinal do futebol feminino. Depois da partida, a meio-campista americana Megan Rapino disse que se tratou, na verdade, de um acidente: a intenção era acertar o chute dentro da área.
Mas por que o gol olímpico é tão raro não só em grandes torneios, mas no futebol em geral?
A resposta envolve ciência, habilidade e um pouco de sorte, contam à BBC News Brasil dois físicos especializados em esporte e um ex-jogador de futebol conhecido por fazer gols olímpicos:
O efeito Magnus
O gol olímpico é uma aparente impossibilidade - mas, graças à física, deixa de ser impossível para ser tornar apenas improvável.
O jogador está na mesma linha das traves ao bater um escanteio e não pode simplesmente chutar direto para o gol. Ele precisa tentar acertar um alvo que não consegue ver.
A saída é apurar a mira e acertar a bola de um jeito que a faça girar lateralmente. É o chamado chute de trivela.
Crédito, Getty Images Legenda da foto, Na mesma linha das traves, o jogador precisa tentar acertar um alvo que não consegue ver
O jogador não pode, portanto, acertar o centro da bola, senão ela irá apenas para frente. Ele deve acertar um dos cantos inferiores. No direito, a bola sai girando em sentido anti-horário e no sentido horário se for no esquerdo.
"O giro faz com que a bola faça uma curva no ar e vá em direção ao gol. É o chamado efeito Magnus", explica John Eric Goff, professor de Física da Universidade de Lynchburg, nos Estados Unidos, e autor de Física da Medalha de Ouro: a ciência dos esportes (John Hopkins University Press, 2009).

From Watchmen to Fun Home to Dragon Ball, there are plenty of old standards on the charts of the top 20 adult graphic novels by category based on NPD BookScan data for November (10/28/18-12/1/18) provided to ICv2. But some newer titles make their mark as well, including a new manga series by the creator of One-Punch Man and a graphic biography of the band Babymetal. VIZ Media continues its domination of the manga chart, with 18 out of the 20 titles, spread among My Hero Academia (eight volumes), RWBY: Official Manga Anthology (three volumes) and a scattering of other titles. The sole Dark Horse Comics title, volume 1 of Mob Psycho 100, is by ONE, the creator of One-Punch Man, and probably benefits from his fandom.Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha, is almost fanfic, although it’s by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama: It’s a story about a Dragon Ball fan who dies on his way to a Dragon Ball event and comes back as Yamcha, a Dragon Ball character who has a somewhat checkered reputation. The appetite of Dragon Ball fans seems to be boundless.If there’s a head-scratcher on this chart, it’s volume 4 of Goblin Slayer. This is the first time this Yen Press series, which is an adaptation of a light novel, has shown up on the BookScan top 20. The anime, which started streaming on Crunchyroll in October, may be bringing more attention to the series.
Batman: White Knight leads the superhero chart; this trade is one of the first titles to be released under DC’s new Black Label imprint, which will feature stories that are outside the regular DC continuity (see "DC Begins Rebranding Old Material as Black Label"). The imprint will pop up more often, as DC plans to add perennial best-sellers Watchmen and Batman: The Killing Joke to the imprint as well (see "DC Expands Black Label Line for 2019").
DC Comics has nine titles on the chart, Marvel has six, and Dark Horse Comics has two. The Overwatch anthology is the sole game-based title, but there are several TV tie-ins as well as the Star Wars book.

HARCÈLEMENT DE RUE - "Je sais ce que je voudrais faire avec toi, bébé." "Hmmm, tu veux un baiser?" "Sexy! Tu veux monter dans ma voiture?" Ces remarques, Noa Jansma ne les entend que trop souvent. Et elle a finalement décidé d'y faire face.
Pour dénoncer le harcèlement de rue, l'étudiante d'Amsterdam, âgée de 20 ans, a eu l'idée de poser pour un selfie avec tous ceux qui la sifflaient, l'interpellaient par des remarques salaces, déplacées. Pendant ce mois de septembre 2017, elle a posté ces photos sur un compte Instagram, dearcatcallers -chers harceleurs- repéré par la page Facebook L'Empêcheuse de tourner en rond.
En un peu plus d'un mois, 19.600 personnes se sont abonnées à son compte.
"Puisque beaucoup de personnes ne savent toujours pas avec quelle fréquence et dans quel contexte le harcèlement arrive, je montrerai mes harceleurs pendant un mois entier", écrit-elle dans la publication qui présente son projet.
#dearcatcallers Une publication partagée par dearcatcallers (@dearcatcallers) le 29 Août 2017 à 6h34 PDT
"Souvent, les femmes ne savent pas répondre à un commentaire sexiste", explique-t-elle au site Redpers. "Poursuivre sa route semble être la seule solution, mais cela n'a aucune conséquence pour les harceleurs. Parfois je leur faisais un doigt d'honneur, mais je me sentais bête après. Je voulais faire quelque chose qui me donne du pouvoir sur eux."
Alors que deux jeunes la filment dans un train, à grand renfort de remarques sexuelles, l'idée de les photographier lui passe par la tête. "J'ai longtemps marché avec cette idée en tête, je n'osais pas faire le premier pas", raconte l'étudiante au site Het Parool. "Mais quand j'ai demandé à un homme de venir avec moi faire une photo, il a répondu avec enthousiasme."
Pour tous ces hommes, le harcèlement est normal
Elle lance alors, à la fin du mois d'août, le compte instagram de ses exploits. Les photos s'accumulent. A chaque fois, elle pose, avec une expression neutre, au premier plan. Et derrière elle, un, deux, trois hommes, jeunes ou plus âgés, sourient face à l'objectif.
"Beaucoup de mes amis ne me croyaient pas quand je leurs disais que cela arrivait si souvent." Elle leur en donne ainsi la preuve, par l'image.

En un mois, un seul de ces hommes a demandé pourquoi elle voulait se prendre en photo avec lui. Et c'est précisément là qu'est le problème, d'après Noa Jansma. "Ils ne sont pas du tout méfiants parce qu'ils trouvent ce qu'ils font tout à fait normal."

Evelin Lakatoš (11), mlada violinistkinja iz Subotice, osvaja nagrade i niže uspehe na muzičkoj sceni. Njena virtuoznost čudna je samo onom ko ne zna da joj je deda jedan od naših najpoznatijih violinista.
Evelin Lakatoš, koja je poslednju u nizu zlatnih nagrada osvojila na Festivalu muzičkih i baletskih škola, unuka je proslavljenog violiniste Ignaca Šena, majstora koji je svirao u pratnji Đorđa Balaševića, Zvonka Bogdana i drugih muzičara i za koga je Balašević rekao da je „promenio njegove pesme“. Tako je Evelin sedma generacija sjajnih violinista iz porodice Šen, a njeni roditelji kažu da bi deda sad bio najponosniji na nju.
Ignac Šen, član Velikog narodnog orkestra RTV, rođen je i sahranjen u Bačkom Gradištu, a živeo je i u Novom Sadu i Subotici, gde se njegova ćerka Julija udala za Mihalja Lakatoša i gde su rođena njegova unučad, a među njima i Evelin.
Svira od malih nogu
Poput dede Ignaca, jedina se Evelin od malih nogu ne odvaja od violine i svakog dana, kao što je to činio i njen deda, čuveni virtuoz, svira po nekoliko sati.
– Moj otac Ignac završio je Muzičku školu u Bečeju. Pričali su mi da je kao dete umesto gudala „svirao“ varjačom, a to je radila i Evelin, koja se igrala violinom umesto lutkama. Ignac je već sa 13 godina ostao bez oca, pa je morao da izdržava porodicu, ali je uspeo da razvija i talenat i sa 17 godina je postao koncertmajstor i član Velikog orkestra. Dugo je sarađivao sa Balaševićem i njihov prvi zajednički hit bio je „Devojka sa čardaš nogama“. Svirao je svuda po svetu i postao je veoma poznat. Sigurna sam da će Evelin dostići njegovu slavu – kaže Julija, ćerka Ignaca Šena i majka male Evelin.
Julija se seća da je njeno detinjstvo obeležila očeva muzika koja je od jutra do večeri, ako nije imao nastup, dopirala iz njegove sobe. Čim bi ustao, uzeo bi gudalo i svakog dana najmanje pet sati svirao je srpske, mađarske, romske kompozicije, klasiku, evergrin, džez, a često je puštao video-snimke svog idola Šandora Lakatoša i skidao njegovu muziku.
Ista deda
– Moj otac je bio univerzalan kada je u pitanju muzika, a njega i njegovu violinu su voleli svi, ne samo u Vojvodini i Srbiji već i u inostranstvu. Bio je čvrst pri stavu da žene ne treba da sviraju, zbog � | 6,267 |
For several centuries after the Arab conquest, some communities of native Christians remained in the southern part of Tunisia, without receiving external assistance to revive their faith. The oases of Jarîd and Nafzâwa, controlled by Ibadite Muslims, certainly constitued the last refuge for those North-African Christians. Many contemporary historians consider that they could live on until the 14 th or even until the 18 th century. The analysis of the Arabic sources they interpret shows that those texts do not give any evidence of such an extreme longevity. It is more than likely that the Christians disappeared from the oases about the middle of the 13 th century, at the same time as the Ibadites to which their fate was closely related.
Pendant plusieurs siècles après la conquête arabe, des communautés de chrétiens autochtones se sont maintenues dans le Sud tunisien, sans bénéficier d’apports extérieurs venus raviver leur foi. Les oasis du Djérid et du Nafzâwa, dominées par les musulmans ibadites, ont certainement constitué la dernière retraite de ces chrétiens nord-africains. De nombreux historiens contemporains considèrent qu’ils ont pu subsister jusqu’au XIV e et parfois même jusqu’au XVIII e siècle. L’analyse des sources arabes sur lesquelles ils se fondent démontre que ces textes ne fournissent aucune preuve de leur extrême longévité. Il est bien plus probable que les chrétiens ont disparu des oasis vers le milieu du XIII e siècle, en même temps que les ibadites auquel leur sort a été fortement lié.
21Nous pensons donc, après avoir démontré le caractère très hypothétique des arguments fournis par Ibn Khaldûn, que les chrétiens des oasis ont disparu vers le milieu du xiii e siècle. Cette datation s’accorde parfaitement avec le témoignage d’Ibn al-Shabbâṭ qui note, dans la seconde moitié de ce siècle, des emplacements d’églises en ruine mais ne signale plus de chrétiens. Bien qu’il faille reconsidérer l’exceptionnelle longévité qu’on leur a généralement prêtée, les communautés chrétiennes locales du Djérid et du Nafzâwa semblent bien avoir été les dernières communautés d’Afrique du Nord à se maintenir sans apport extérieur, ce qui peut certainement s’expliquer par leur présence en terre ibadite.
20Les chrétiens et les ibadites s’éteignent à une époque sensiblement identique. Nous avons étudié ailleurs dans quelles circonstances les ibadites ont disparu du Djérid et du Nafzâwa. À l’exception des luttes qui opposaient les différents groupes ibadites, les deux raisons principales qui ont provoqué leur extinction peuvent manifestement expliquer la disparition des derniers chrétiens. D’une part, la guerre violente qui a opposé les Almohades aux Banû Ghâniya a eu pour conséquence la destruction ou l’abandon de plusieurs villages, tant dans le Djérid que dans le Nafzâwa. L’exemple le plus remarquable en est l’ancien évêché de Turris Tamalleni, Ṭurra, ruiné en 601/1204-1205. Ce long conflit nuit fortement à l’économie de la région : sa prédominance commerciale diminue au profit de villes situées plus profondément dans le désert, où migrent sans doute de nombreux oasiens. D’autre part, après la conquête almohade, les ibadites sub | 6,268 |

Joseph Cuoq, L’Église d’Afrique du Nord du IIe au XIIe siècle, Paris, Le Centurion, 1984, p. 117, évoque « un christianisme plus ou moins répandu, plus ou moins authentiquement professé, imprégné de survivances des cultes animistes et naturistes de l’antique Berbérie ».
Al-Mâlikî, op. cit., I, p. 270, rapporte que selon le cadi Abû Muḥriz, l’émir Ziyâdat Allâh se montrait injuste vis-à-vis des juifs et des chrétiens. Il ajoute, I, p. 476-477, qu’à la fin du IXe siècle, le cadi de Kairouan, ‘Abd Allâh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ṭâlib, impose aux juifs et aux chrétiens de porter sur leurs épaules des morceaux de tissu blanc, sur lesquels figurent un singe et un cochon. On cloue également sur les portes de leurs maisons des panneaux représentant des singes. Ces règles ont manifestement été très peu appliquées, même à Kairouan, et il n’existe aucune trace de leur exécution dans le Sud tunisien.

Il suppose qu’au contact des ibadites, les chrétiens ont pris l’habitude de dissimuler leurs croyances et qu’ainsi le christianisme « aurait disparu à la longue, enseveli dans son secret ».

- La Procura svedese ha archiviato l'inchiesta nei confronti di Julian Assange. Il fondatore di Wikileaks, che da quasi cinque anni si trova nell'ambasciata dell'Ecuador a Londra, era accusato di stupro, ma il capo della Procura, Marianne Ny, ha annunciato la chiusura dell'indagine durata sette anni.La vicenda viene chiusa non perché non siano state trovate prove contro l'accusato, ma per l'impossibilità di procedere in sua assenza. È necessario, ha spiegato il magistrato, che "si possano notificare formalmente le accuse ad Assange. Da questo punto di vista non possiamo aspettarci un aiuto dall'Ecuador", Paese al quale Assange ha chiesto asilo politico, rifuggiandosi nell'edificio londinese. Dunque, per Ny "non vi è ragione di credere che la decisione di consegnarlo a noi possa essere messa in atto in un immediato futuro" e "poiché sono state esauriti tutti i margini esistenti per un approfondimento dell'inchiesta - ha sottolineato - non appare proporzionato mantenere il mandato di cattura in sua assenza".
Detained for 7 years without charge by while my children grew up and my name was slandered. I do not forgive or forget. — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) May 19, 2017
La decisione arriva alla vigilia dell'udienza del tribunale che dovrà decidere sul mandato di cattura internazionale emesso a suo tempo dalla Svezia e nella stessa settimana in cui è stata rilasciata Chelsea Manning, che aveva passato al blogger i file diplomatici poi pubblicati da Wikileaks."Sono stato detenuto per 7 anni senza un'accusa mentre i mie figli crescevano e il mio nome veniva diffamato. Non perdono né dimentico", ha scritto Assange su Twitter poche ore dopo. Poi, affaciandosi al balcone dell'ambasciata ha commentato quella che ritiene "una vittoria per me e per i diritti umani" nel mondo. Il fondatore di Wikileaks ha ricordato i suoi sette anni da recluso "senza incriminazione" formale come un caso di ingiustizia e ha insistito nel bollare l'inchiesta contro di lui come "politicamente motivata".Oggi, però, è solo l'inizio della vittoria: "la battaglia" per ottenere giustizia, sottolinea Assange, è appena "cominciata" e critica la Gran Bretagna, per aver fatto sapere di essere pronta ad arrestarlo comunque, e gli Usa, per le accuse rivolte dal capo della Cia, Mike Pompeo, a Wikileaks di essere una organizzazione di intelligence ostile. Accuse definite da lui "inaccettabili".In seguito alla diffusione della notizia, sul profilo Twitter di Assange è stata pubblicata anche una foto che ritrae il fondatore di Wikileaks sorridente. Per l'avvocato E. Samuelsson, il suo assistito può lasciare l'ambasciata "quando vuole. Abbiamo vinto il caso Assange. È contento e sollevato, ma critica il fatto che si sia tardato così tanto". Parlando all'emittente pubblica Radio Svezia, il legale ha chiarito che non si sa quando Assange potrà lasciare la sede diplomatica, ma ha aggiunto che la Svezia "non opporrà alcun ostacolo a che lo faccia" perché "è fuori dal gioco".Scioccata, invece, l'accusatrice di Assange.

io Pol Pot… ne počinju s prvim ispaljenim metkom, prvim udarcem. To kreće desetljećima ranije, u trenutku kad intelektualci, političari, pisci, novinari krenu promovirati ideju da su neki ljudi manje ljudi nego li drugi i da je okrutnost nužna u ime ideje nekakvog moralnog progresa. To je trenutak kad zlo nađe dom.
Je li knjiga prevedena na japanski?
- Imam u Japanu dobra izdavača, moje knjige su tamo čitane. Svaka koju napišem vrlo brzo bude prevedena. No, ovaj roman već tri i pol godine čeka doći na japansko tržište. Uzeli su ga prevoditi, ali rečeno mi je da je jako težak za prevesti. Prilično me to naljutilo, vjerujem da nije preveden iz političkih razloga.
Iznenadilo vas je to?
- Nisam bio sasvim iznenađen, ali sam bio jako razočaran. Jer, Japan je kao Australija ili Hrvatska, postoji dio ljudi koji glasa za nacionaliste, ali puno Japanaca ima snagu pogledati u vlastitu prošlost i nositi se s time, u namjeri da uče iz toga. Izdavač kaže da će biti objavljena ove godine. Ne objave li je do kraja 2017. morat ću poduzeti nešto.
Pisao sam taj roman s velikim poštovanjem prema japanskoj kulturi, mislim da je japanska literatura jedna od najvećih na svijetu. Konačno, u toj knjizi se i vidi utjecaj japanskih autora. Nisam htio da to bude knjiga osude Japanaca. Pisac nije sudac. Gledao sam što je najljepše u japanskoj književnosti i kulturi, i to mi je dalo snagu pisati o jednoj od najgroznijih epizoda japanske povijesti bez da ih osuđujem. Nije to antijapanska nego antiratna knjiga, neprijateljska je jedino prema ratu.
Kako se Japanci nose s vlastitim ratnim zločinima? Je li im MacArthur amnestijom cara učinio dobro ili je to bila medvjeđa usluga bivšem neprijatelju?
- Kad je Njemačka poražena u Drugom svjetskom ratu ratni zločinci su procesuirani, osuđeni, neki i pogubljeni, zemlja je prošla proces denacifikacije. U Japanu se na cara gledalo kao na boga, a i rat je doživljavan kao careva ili božja volja. Ti si, kao Japanac, ratujući, samo činio patriotsku dužnost, tako su oni gledali na ratovanje i na ubijanje. Sudjelovati u ratu kao vojnik, pa i ubijati, bio je gotovo pa čin duhovnog rasta. Amerikanci su, na kraju rata, zaključili da neće moći okupirati Japan ako kazne cara za ratne zločine. Posljedica toga je da su mnogi Japanci razmišljali: ‘Ako car nije kriv, on | 6,272 |

6. Nigredo – “Mental Glimpses At Cosmic Horrors”
Location: Athens, Greece
Subgenre: black metal
Ohhh, so this is why you spin an album again. Can’t say Nigredo worked for me at first. On the surface, it felt like the Greek duo played a kind of deathly blackened thrash hybrid that sounded austere compared to its counterparts. That is to say Flesh Torn – Spirit Pierced, Nigredo’s full-length debut, didn’t have the drunken joie de vivre of Condor or speed wobbles of Nekromantheon. Ah, but that’s not really what A. (vocals/guitars; Ravencult) and Maelstrom (drums; like a billion bands, but Dephosphorus and Principality of Hell to pick favorites) are up to. Once I trained my attention on the guitars, it clicked. A closer listen finds killer riffs teaming with tones, prodded along by an unceasing propulsive drive. Within each riff, there’s that sort of suspended second-wave black metal drone, but instead of it getting stretched out for minutes at a time, it’s forced to evolve and adapt to the rhythms of charismatically drummed death/thrash. The effect is equally hypnotic, just less transfix-by-tremolo, more stun-by-flashbang. Neat. But even that taxonomic description doesn’t get at why tracks like “Mental Glimpses at Cosmic Horrors” are ultimately so impressive. I think it’s because everything is winnowed down to just the active ingredients without the music also devolving into something embryonic and super raw. There’s no baggage; black metal’s disaffected aloofness, thrash’s inebriated boneheadedness. That means there’s nothing for Nigredo to hide behind. Other bands might wilt without that kind of safety net. A. and Maelstrom never lose the thread, burning through a ton of quality material that’s smart and engaging and goddamn primal in its bloodthirstiness. And I keep hearing new things every time I play it, which is crazy considering how I once thought its bones were bare. Prediction: gonna be spinning this one a lot more.

5. Uada – “Cult Of A Dying Sun”
Location: Portland, OR
Subgenre: black metal
Uada’s 2016 debut Devoid of Light delivered a pummeling take on hooky Pacific Northwest black metal, adding a shot of steroids to the atmospheric tendencies of the area. It’s an album loaded with forward-leaning riffs, wild, memorable solos, ravenous vocals delivered in various styles, and hurry-up drumming. Listening again, I don’t think I gave it the credit it deserved when it was released. Now, on “Cult of a Dying Sun,” the debut from Uada’s forthcoming sophomore album, the band has turned up the heavy, shooting songs through with a gut-rumbling weight that makes for a fuller listen while also maintaining an agile assault. Again, the vocals are a highlight, rasping and bellowing and howling. But the axe attack is the real highlight here, with powerful, sometimes bendy riffs steering a mean, tight ship.

4. Tanith – “Citadel”
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Subgenre: hard rock, heavy metal
Fate being the strange creature she is, somehow I wound up with a slate of (mostly) non-brutal, highly melodic, borderline pretty tunes this month. And it turns out I don’t really mind living in this newly mellow world — maybe it’s my advanced age, or a side effect of watching winter melt into spring, or maybe I’ve just gone soft in the middle, like a thoroughly blackened marshmallow with a gooey molten core, but it actually feels pretty good. Of all my March picks, Tanith is the softest by far, but in no way the slightest: on this Brooklyn | 6,273 |

Movement of Two Hundred

Washington, Oct. 3.—About 200,-
000 men, representing the third in
crement to the National Army, to
day are on their way to sixteen can
tonments where already half the
K87.000 called to the colors by the
President, are mobilized. Although
to-day's quota should be 40 per cent,
under regulations promulgated by-
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
local conditions in the various states
have reduced the general average of
the increment to 20 or 25 per cent.
Coincident with the start of the
third division of the new National
Army for the training cantps to
day, the railroads war board issued
a statement in connection with the
part which the railroads have play
ed in handling the biggest troop
movement ever attempted in this
country.
"Including the National Guard,
the Regular Army and the new Na
tional Army, the railroads to date
have moved approximately 720,000
soldiers from their homes to train
ing camps or embarkation points,"
says the statement.
"The great bulk of this Army—
all of it in fact, except the 32,549
men included in the first five per
cent, of the National Army that
moved by regular train on September
5. required special train service, in
volving the use of 13,500 passenger
cars, including 1,500 Pullman and
tourist sleepers, 2,000 baggage cars
and 4,500 freight cars.
"Some slight conception of what
this problem.means, may be deduced
from the fact that in the National
Army movement alone the railroads
have had to prepare special sched
ules covering the 4,531 towns and
cities designated by the provost mar
shal general as the points of local
concentration from which the re
cruits to the new National Army

Ciao, Buona giornata, Allora… I’ve written about my favorite German words and my favorite Spanish words, two languages with which I am fairly well acquainted. My experience of Italian however, is not as rich as my German or Spanish. Mostly because I have never lived in that country. But I have visited on a fair number of occasions — and each time I’ve scrabbled Italian words together from a hodgepodge of dog-eared phrasebooks and chance encounters.
My relative unfamiliarity with the Italian language is not the only obstacle to the compilation of a list of favorite words — there are simply too many wonderful ones in Italian. I know, I know, there are beautiful words in every language. But Italian just rolls off the tongue and tickles your inner ear.
A colleague of mine recently commented, “Italian even sounds stunning when you’re saying something unpleasant”. On that note, let’s begin:
1. Allora (Conjunction) — Then, So
When you start learning a language, there are always some words that jump out from otherwise incomprehensible sentences. It gives you the hope that one day, maybe the rest of the sentence will become equally as easy to process.
So it is with the word allora, which your Italian counterpart will draw out prior to plunging into an exciting sentence. It’s one of those slightly fuzzy words whose translation all rather depends upon the context in which it is used, but it can most typically be translated as “so” or “then”.
Alloooora, andiamo avanti con questa storia? English Translation: So, are we going ahead with this story?
2. Rocambolesco (Adj.) — Fantastic, Adventurous, Nail-biting
The language nerds and linguists among you will no doubt point to the French origin of rocambolesco. Rocambole is a fictional character developed by the French writer Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail in the 19th century. The French word rocambolesque then evolved from this character’s preference for swashbuckling adventure.
Similarly, the Italian word denotes a heady fusion of the fantastical, the adventurous, the daring, the nail-biting and the downright incredible. This is the romanticized image I had in my head as I boarded the plane to Italy as an 18-year-old readied for a solo romp around western Europe.
3. Chiacchierone/a (Noun) — Chatterbox
I had planned my trip around Italy, Austria, Switzerland and southern Germany to eradicate any remaining savings hoarded during a year of work and travel. In Venice, I met an old school-friend of Italian descent and proceeded to mull around the canals trying to take stock of this surreal theme park of a city while she prattled on about the gossip from her first year at university. And then she paused in a moment of self-reflection:
“Ah, I’m such a whatchamacallit.”
“Well, yes, perhaps, but that rather depends on what you mean by whatchamacallit,” I responded.
“I’m a proper… chiacchierona. I never shut up! How do you say that in English again?”
A chiacchierona, we quickly established, is a chatterbox, a prattler, a tattler, a loose-lipped blabbermouth. It’s also a fabulous word with bundles of chit-chattering cha-cha-cha sounds and a shovel full of imagery.
And what’s more, all of the derivatives are equally as beguiling; Chiacchiera or chiacchierata (chit-chat) and the verb chiacchierare (to chatter). If you take your chiacchiera one step toward the more malicious, you’ll stumble across another lexical gem; pettegolezzo, or gossip.
4. Sfizio (Noun) — Whim
I’m not a big shopper, and shopping abroad can be a hassle. My shopping trips are executed with military precision and discipline. And yet as I boarded the train to be whisked away from Mestre to Ferrara, I found myself weighed down by an assortment of carnevale paraphernalia. Their utter uselessness became increasingly manifest with every meter gained between Venice and this otherwise thrifty traveller. I now attribute the momentary lapse in judgement to lo sfizio del vacanziere — the whim of the “holidaymaker”.
Sfizio: the tongue sizzles and fizz | 6,279 |
les with the two opening consonants, achieving an even higher frequency vibration on the third. It sounds great, and I like the meaning, too.
As much as I would have liked to see myself as a vero viaggiatore — a true traveller — it’s ever so hard to convince oneself of this with a plastic carnival mask in hand. Not rocambolesco. Not at all.
5. Struggimento (Noun) — Misery
From Ferrara I bundled into Bologna, trusty guidebook in hand, expecting a bustling student town. One of the drawbacks of guidebooks is that they sometimes cause one to abandon common sense and curiosity. University was out, the sky was overcast, and the conference brigade was in town. I flicked through to the accommodation section and was alarmed to see one measly hostel. I phoned. Full. I trotted from one budget hotel to another. Full. Full. All full. Awful. I turned to a tourist information center for the first time in my life.
“Non sapevi che c’è una conferenza in città? Gli hotel sono tutti pieni.” English Translation: Didn’t you know there’s a conference in the city? The hotels are all full.
Scheiße! Eighteen years young with nowhere to go.The trains had stopped running. I suddenly felt my age — my own personal struggimento, as a consequence of the capitulation of my illusion of assured independence.
An Italian friend of mine recently expressed frustration at the lack of a satisfying translation for struggimento and its wobbly mix of gut-churning misery and yearning. I don’t think I’ve fully grasped the concept. Then again she suggested that the English simply don’t know how to suffer, protected by a stiff upper lip on our island of emotional detachment, so perhaps I never will, and perhaps I’ll be better off for it.
6. Dondolare (Verb) — To Rock, Swing, Wobble
After the struggimento of my night in Bologna, where I ended up sleeping in an extraordinarily dirty flat belonging to a friend of the lady at the tourist information, I arrived in Florence. I’d learned from my mistakes and booked ahead, selecting a fine looking establishment to compensate myself for the squalor of the day previous.
I entered into a broad, ornate common room decorated with travellers’ bodies enjoying a post lunch inertia the Italians refer to as abbiocco. Pride of place in this room was reserved for an old rocking chair which was currently occupied by a bedraggled Australian, intent on impressing the receptionist with his few accented words of Italian. Beside him was a sign which read:
“Non dondolare troppo sulla sedia a dondolo, dondolone!” Translation: “Don’t rock too much on the rocking chair, dondolone”
Dondolare means to swing or to rock. And, apparently, a dondolone is literally someone who rocks and wobbles, and figuratively it means a loafer or idler. A word can’t get much more onomatopoeic than this, although sussurrare (to whisper) certainly comes close.
7. Mozzafiato (Adj.) — Breathtaking, Riveting
I arrived in Rome having ticked off Pisa and Siena en route. I had visited these cities with ruthless efficiency, dividing my time and attention equally between photo taking, sightseeing, guidebook reading and pizza eating. And now I’d had enough. We often find ourselves led by guidebooks and an insatiable need to confirm that we have seen in person what we have seen a million times on television; a city’s tired celebrities.
In Rome I sought to get irretrievably lost among the city’s alleys and avenues. I enjoyed the inevitability of a reward for my mis-orientation — whether it were a fountain, a church or a well haunted café. The merits of this approach were emphasized following a visit to St. Peter’s. My father’s words resonated in my head.

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana is stronger for a Germany national team member Maik Zirbes, who signed a one-year-deal with a chance of extension for another year.
A line of the tall players on the Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana roster just got stronger with an addition of Maik Zirbes, the member of the German national team. Zirbes is a three-time ABA League Champions with Crvena zvezda mts, and he has experience with playing in the EuroLeague, 7Days EuroCup and regional competition.
Zirbes started his career with the Gladiators from Treves, where he stayed until 2012, and then went to Brose Baskets, with whom he became the German National Champion. His path led him to Belgrade, where he started his first stint with the Crvena zvezda mts, and won his first two titles of the ABA League Champion, to go along with two titles of the Serbian league champion.
In 2016, he signed the deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv, but then in the beginning of the next year, he was loaned to Bayern Munich. In 2017, he signed the deal with the team from Bavaria, and won the title of the German National Champion, his second of career. He stayed in Munich only for a season, as he moved back to Belgrade in 2018.
Zirbes first won the title of the ABA Supercup Champion in the beginning of the 2018/19 season, and finished the season with his third title of the ABA League champion. In the regional competition, he averaged 7.7 PPG and 3.9 RPG in 15.6 MIN of action. In the beginning of May, Crvena zvezda mts cut his contract, and he then moved to China to Guangxi, where he averaged 19.8 PPG and 15.5 RPG in 34.7 MPG in 31 games of Second Chinese League.
Maik Zirbes told as he joined Cedevita Olimpija: “I am happy that I have joined Cedevita Olimpija, and I cannot wait for the new season to begin, and to meet my new teammates. I have shared the locker room with a lot of them, so I believe, that I will fit in the team right away. I am excited for the high expectations of the new club in ABA League and 7Days EuroCup, and I hope, that successful season is ahead of us.”

Cedevita Olimpija pod obročema močnejša za Maika Zirbesa
Člansko moštvo Cedevite Olimpije bo v novi tekmovalni sezoni močnejše za nemškega reprezentanta Maika Zirbesa, ki je z ljubljanskim klubom podpisal enoletno pogodbo, z možnostjo podaljšanja še za eno leto.
Cedevita Olimpija je svoji centrski liniji dodala novega visokega košarkarja z izkušnjami iz Lige ABA, Evrolige in 7Days EuroCupa. Ljubljanskim Zmajem se je pridružil nemški reprezentant Maik Zirbes, trikratni prvak regionalnega tekmovanja, ki se v slovensko prestolnico seli iz kitajskega moštva Guangxi Weizhuang.
Svojo košarkarsko pot je Zirbes začel pri Gladiatorjih iz Trevesa, kjer je ostal do leta 2012, nato pa prestopil v Brose Baskets, s katerim je leta 2013 postal tudi nemški državni prvak. Iz Nemčije ga je pot nato vodila v beograjsko Crveno zvezdo, s katero je v svojem prvem obdobju nošenja rdeče-belega dresa osvojil dva naslova prvaka Lige ABA ter dva naslova srbskega državnega prvaka.
Leta 2016 je podpisal pogodbo z izraelskim Maccabijem iz Tel Aviva, nato pa je bil v začetku prihod | 6,281 |
to his own philosophical scheme in what Hegel construes as an almost maddening contentment and self-enclosure. Hegel dismisses Buddhism, and in particular, Buddhist meditation, without keeping it utterly out of reach. Indeed, he is unable to jettison Buddhism, even while he is criticizing it, for it provides some key elements of his models for thinking. Despite the way in which it shadows his thought, discussions of Hegel's view of Buddhism have so far tended to be oblique or limited to simple reference.[3] There is still rather little on the topic in general, and very little detailed work on Hegel's complex engagement with Buddhist ideas and practices. Here I combine textual, historicist and philosophical analysis to demonstrate that whether Hegel already had what Heidegger calls a "pre-understanding" for Buddhism in his thinking; whether the fragmentary Chinese and Tibetan whispers that reached him from his sources on Buddhism influenced his view; whether he was always already disposed to view emptiness as "nothingness" and Buddhist soteriological practice as Insichsein or "being-within-self" (that is, ultimately without concrete determinants); or whether Buddhism did influence him indirectly; my thesis stands: that there is a remarkable and historically probable collusion between Hegel's view of the nothingness of the in-itself—or, as first stated in the Logic, Fichte's phrase I = I,[4] —and the dominant form of Tibetan Buddhism of which he was aware. And that residing within Hegel's concept of Buddhism, like a toe half-absorbed into a sucking mouth (an image to which we will return), is a gentle lovingness (Sanskrit: maitri) whose objective and sexual status is rigorously, and, for Hegel, threateningly indeterminate.
Three sections follow. The first establishes Hegel's view of Buddhism, exploring in particular a key set of texts that explore ideas of nothingness, or emptiness. The second investigates more thoroughly those notions of Buddhist emptiness with which Hegel was familiar. This digression into Buddhist thinking is crucial for my argument, since it demonstrates that Hegel's idea of nothingness drastically reduces emptiness to what Buddhism itself ironically considers a rather substantial thing in which one has to believe. The final section outlines the ways in which Hegel's view of emptiness insufficiently accounts for the different kinds of Buddhist view contemporary with Hegel. The main Buddhist text on emptiness, the Prajnaparamita Sutra (the Sutra of the Heart of Transcendent Knowledge), is reproduced in an Appendix in its abbreviated twenty-five-line form.
Hegel's Buddhism or, philosophy puts its foot in its mouth
Buddhism had existed in Western writing for a long time before Hegel examined it. Strabo, Marco Polo and Peter Bayle had discussed it; John Toland talked about "the religion of Fo" (Buddha); the travel writer Richard Hakluyt published pictures of yogis (certain kinds of practitioner), though whether they were Hindu or Buddhist is not specified. The Annual Bibliography of English literature lists about forty citations about Buddhism, Tibet and the Dalai Lama in Romantic-period poetry. Thomas Moore, for example, wrote about mantra, Buddha, and Tibetan Lamas.[5] Hegel's direct sources for his view of Buddhism are, primarily, the work of Samuel Turner (1749—1802), an English researcher who had gained access to the court of the Dalai Lama and his associate the Panchen Lama (the findings were published around 1800); and the sixth and seventh volumes of the encyclopedic Allgemeine Historie on Buddhism (1750).[6] From the former, Hegel gleaned information about the idea that Lamas were reincarnations of previous Lamas (or high teachers). From the latter, he obtained the concept of "the empty" or "nothing," which is the main focus of this paper.
Here is the passage from the Allgemeine Historie: Sie sagen, dass das leere oder Nichts, dere Unsang aller Dinge sen; dass aus diesem Nichts und aus der Bermischung [Vermmischung] der Elemente, alle Dinge hervorgebracht sind, und dahin wieder zuruct sehren mussen; dass alle Wesen, sowohl belebte als unbelebte, nur in der Gestalt und in den Eigenschaften von einander unterscheiden sind: in Betrachtung des Ubwesens oder Grundstoffs aber, einerlen bleiben. (6.368) They say that mere Nothingness is the basis of all things; that all things are brought out of this Nothing and out of the mingling of the elements, and must tend back there again; that all phenomena, both living and non-living, are only different from one another in form | 6,282 |
Social media reacted with anger to French Prime Minister Manuel Valls’ assertion that France “will have to live with terrorism.” Users shamed the PM, saying that more people apparently need to be killed in terror attacks to wake up the French government.

Valls made the statement following the attack in Nice that killed at least 84 people and injured dozens.
“Times have changed, and France is going to have to live with terrorism, and we must face this together and show our collective sang-froid,” he said. “France is a great country and a great democracy and we will not allow ourselves to be destabilized.”
However, Valls’ assumption that “France-is-going-to-have-to-live-with-terrorism” hasn’t amused French social media, and possibly bolstered France’s reputation as a country that surrenders at the drop of a hat. Users are apparently livid, taking the PM’s remarks to mean that the French government doesn’t plan to take on the extremists, but simply call on its citizens to learn to live with the threat.

In September 2015, psychologist and blogger Letícia Bahia and photographer Julia Rodrigues launched the campaign Mamilo Livre (Free Nipple), featuring print portraits of both men and women with bare chests, aiming to challenge objectification of women's breasts and advocate individual sovereignty over one's body. As the campaign encouraged people to print photos from the campaign's website and post them in public spaces, the posters were seen in many Brazilian cities.
But as people started to publish the campaign photos on social media, they encountered a barrier not seen in the offline world: Facebook blocked all the portraits featuring women and suspended the profiles of those who published them. This included both campaign founders, as well as the page AzMina — a feminist digital magazine with over 80k followers, which helped support the campaign from its conception.
Julia and Letícia recently devised a way to outsmart Facebook's censorship: if you divide the photo of the nipple into four different photos and publish them simultaneously, Facebook will display it at people's feeds as a mosaic, where the nipple will be completely visible — but still not entirely present in one single photo, and thus not detected by its system.
The campaign's website made available an app where users can upload a photo of their nipple which will then be divided into four different photos.
The photos of the campaign are actually part of an older project conceived by Julia Rodrigues. On a Facebook page named “Pode Não Pode” (You can, you can't), she uploads photos of men and women with their bare chests and lets the network delete the ones it deem inappropriate. Facebook's technologies typically delete the ones featuring women. The result is an album where men's photos showing their nipples are untouched, where women's are either covered with a black tag or cropped above the nipples.
As she explains on the project's page:
Essas fotos fazem parte de um experimento meu dentro do facebook. Pessoas de todos os generos posaram para mim com o torso nu, sem apelo sexual ou pornografico. Quais fotos serão consideradas impróprias pelo público e pelo sistema do facebook? Quais serão as diferenças reais entre um retrato e outro? O que seria tão ofensivo em um mamilo que não é ofensivo em outro?
Those photos are part of an experiment of mine inside Facebook. People from all genders posed for me with their bared chests, without sexual or pornographic appeal. Which photos will be considered improper for the public or for the Facebook system? What are the real differences between one portrait and another? What is offensive in one nipple that isn't in the other?
Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram (owned by Facebook) prohibit any and all “graphic content” that pictures a woman's areola, but not men's. This has been challenged by activists around the world for the past few years. In 2014, Lina Esco's documentary ‘Free the Nipple’ investigated the United States obscenity laws in the United States, where it is illegal in 13 states for a woman to be topless in public.
Obscenity laws in Brazil are similar — women exposing their nipples in public could fall into the Article 233 of the country's penal code, which deals with practicing obscene acts in public. Although cases, where women were detained for this, are increasingly rare, Brazilian society hardly tolerates a female nipple to be seen in public. This comes as a shock to many foreigners who come to visit the famous Brazilian beaches. But indeed, contrary to European beaches, where the practice is somewhat common, in Brazil being topless (if you're a woman) isn't accepted at all.
When the Danish gymnastics team visited Rio de Janeiro to give a workshop in 2013, they sunbathed topless in Copacabana and were snapped by a photographer of Brazil's media outlets. The case gained so much media attention in Brazil at that time that the team's trainer approach the press to explain they were unaware of local custom.
Gradually this has been challenged in Brazil, with many feminist movements doing marches attended by many women who, in protest against hypersexualization and shaming of women's bodies, bare their chests in public. This has been accompanied by increased frustration with Facebook and Instagram's Community Standards, which allow specific non-sexual images of women's nipples (they make exceptions for breast feeding and post-mastectomy photos), but not others. They also allow some images of graphic violence, such as photos of people who have been tortured. Hypersexualized images of female breasts are also considered appropriate (as long as the nipple is not clearly visible), while photos including women's nipples ranging from indigenous ceremonies in Australia to campaigns against breast cancer are prohibited.

The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime. Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.
Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.
Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random. Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming. However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:

The Museu Nacional houses artefacts from Egypt, Greco-Roman art and some of the first fossils found in Brazil
Brazil’s oldest and most important historical and scientific museum has been consumed by fire, and much of its archive of 20 million items is believed to have been destroyed.
The fire at Rio de Janeiro’s 200-year-old National Museum began after it closed to the public on Sunday and raged into the night. There were no reports of injuries, but the loss to Brazilian science, history and culture was incalculable, two of its vice-directors said.

“It was the biggest natural history museum in Latin America. We have invaluable collections. Collections that are over 100 years old,” Cristiana Serejo, one of the museum’s vice-directors, told the G1 news site.
Marina Silva, a former environment minister and candidate in October’s presidential elections said the fire was like “a lobotomy of the Brazilian memory”.
Luiz Duarte, another vice-director, told TV Globo: “It is an unbearable catastrophe. It is 200 years of this country’s heritage. It is 200 years of memory. It is 200 years of science. It is 200 years of culture, of education.” TV Globo also reported that some firefighters did not have enough water to battle the blaze.

It wasn’t immediately clear how the fire began. The museum was part of Rio’s Federal University but had fallen into disrepair in recent years. Its impressive collections included items brought to Brazil by Dom Pedro I – the Portuguese prince regent who declared the then-colony’s independence from Portugal – Egyptian and Greco-Roman artefacts, “Luzia”, a 12,000 year-old skeleton and the oldest in the Americas, fossils, dinosaurs, and a meteorite found in 1784. Some of the archive was stored in another building but much of the collection is believed to have been destroyed.
Brazil’s president, Michel Temer, who has presided over cuts to science and education as part of a wider austerity drive, called the losses “incalculable”. “Today is a tragic day for the museology of our country,” he tweeted. “Two hundred years of work research and knowledge were lost.”
Michel Temer (@MichelTemer) Incalculável para o Brasil a perda do acervo do Museu Nacional. Foram perdidos 200 anos de trabalho, pesquisa e conhecimento. O valor p/ nossa história não se pode mensurar, pelos danos ao prédio que abrigou a família real durante o Império. É um dia triste para todos brasileiros
Mércio Gomes, an anthropologist and former president of Brazil’s indigenous agency, Fundação Nacional do Índio (FUNAI), compared the loss to the burning of the library of Alexandria in 48BC. “We Brazilians only have 500 years of history. Our National Museum was 200 years old, but that’s what we had, and what is lost forever,” he wrote on Facebook. “We have to reconstruct our National Museum.”

Duarte said that governments were to blame for failing to support the museum and letting it fall into disrepair. At its 200th birthday in June, not one state minister appeared. “For many years we fought with different governments to get adequate resources to preserve what is now completely destroyed,” he said. “My feeling is of total dismay and immense anger.”
Duart also said that the museum had just closed a deal with the Brazilian government’s development bank, BNDES, for funds that included a fire prevention project. “This is the most terrible irony,” he said.

An Instruction that renders Sprites.

This is an open letter to my fans, SK-Gaming fans and to those who support or like me.
As many of you know, since I was little I have my nose broken, and I can only breathe through one side of my nostrils, and for about 2 years now, I suffer from eardrum perforation on the right side, which despites our performance, for a little over than one year has exponentially increased, and it has affected a lot my own performance in-game, and my life quality out-game.
After last season, when I came back to Brazil, I visited 2 medical experts (the same ones who checked my case in the past), and they told me about a worsening of clinical symptoms, and a possible tumor in my ear, due to strong and painful aches, bleeding and a lot of twinges.
They told me I have to make both surgeries, but also explained it would be impossible to make the two of them at the same time, so we would have to make one at a time.
They also explained that I need to make the nose surgery first, to have a better ventilation on my face, and then be able to go through the ear surgery.
He explained I won't be able to recover the hearing loss on the right side of my ear, and the surgery will help me not to completely lose it. Since I went to the US, I only play with 30% of hearing on the right side, and it affects me a lot in-game.
We had a conversation between us (team, SK, family), and I told them I'd like to keep playing, even with all these problems, and I'd like to continue writing our history like we are until now.
My teammates totally supported me, and told me I could be calm and take care of myself, because health always comes first.
Therefore, in 2 weeks I will be submitted to a surgical procedure on my nose, so I can be able to breathe without any issues, and then get ready and prepare myself for the eardrum perforation surgery.
The nose surgery is not a complicated one, but I will need medical monitoring for about a month. The team will only be playing online tournaments between August and September (ECS and Pro League).
I won't be traveling together with my team immediately, but I will join the group in the middle of September, when I will be able to play, however getting ready for the ear surgery.
Meanwhile, in order to help us, the player Gustavo "Shoowtime" Gonçalves (former Immortals), will join our line-up, until middle of September. I'll be playing from Brazil the individual part, and I will follow-up my team practices as a coach.
My intention, is to be back 2 weeks before ESL One New York, and for during these 2 weeks we'll make an intensive preparation with the same goal: WIN!
I am just thankful to those who cheer for me and my team, and I ask you to keep your positive vibration. I also would like to thank “Shoowtime” for accepting right away the invitation to represent the best team in the world.
Welcome Shoowtime!
Thanks everybody.
Hugs,
Fernando ‘fer’ Alvarenga.

Carta aberta para os meus fãs, fãs do SK-Gaming e pessoas que apoiam ou gostam de mim.
Como muitos sabem, desde pequeno eu tenho o nariz quebrado e só respiro de um lado, e a uns dois anos sofro de uma perfuração no tímpano direito, o que apesar do nosso desempenho de um ano pra cá ter aumentado exponencialmente, isso prejudica muito a minha performance dentro do jogo e a qualidade de vida fora dele.
Após a temporada passada, quando voltei para o Brasil, fui em dois especialistas na área (os mesmos que cuidaram do assunto no passado) e fui diagnosticado com uma piora no quadro e um possível tumor no ouvido. Dores muito fortes, sangramentos e muitas pontadas.
O médico disse que preciso urgente fazer ambas as cirurgias, mas explicou | 6,289 |
C’est vs. Il est: When and How to Use Them in French
Sometimes French learners get frustrated when they encounter two very similar expressions that are difficult to distinguish. C’est vs. il est is a common example of this. The two phrases mitght seem similar; however, each of them has distinct rules about when and how it should be used.
These two expressions do not need to be confusing. Let’s start at the very beginning and explore the challenge of c’est vs. il est. With some clear rules and helpful hints, you’ll have a better grasp of them in no time.

C’est un chat. (That’s a cat.)
C’est mercredi. (It’s Wednesday.)
What does il est mean?
Il est is the subject pronoun il (he) combined with est (“is” from the verb être.) It translates to it is, this is and that is. It also literally translates to he is.

C’est in its plural form is ce sont. It means they are or these are.

Here is a chart to help you see how these subjects are conjugated with the verb être:
Singular Plural Je suis (I am) Nous sommes (We are) Tu es (You are) Vous êtes (You are) Il est (He is) Ils sont (They are – masculine) Elle est (She is) Elles sont (They are – feminine) C’est (It is) Ce sont (They are)

Is there a shortcut I can use to know when to use c’est vs. il est?
If you want a quick, bottom-line answer that will be right a lot of the time (but not all the time), here it is:
If the expression is followed by a noun, you will usually use c’est or ce sont.
C’est la vérité. (It’s the truth.)
Ce sont les faits. (These are the facts.)
Aside from that quick note, there are some more specific rules you can use to determine which expression to use.
What are the precise rules for c’est vs. il est? What are the details for usage?
Let’s explore these two expressions in more detail. To determine whether to use c’est or il est, we need to look at what follows the expression.

React.js and Vue.js are two of the most popular JavaScript libraries on the planet. They're both powerful and relatively easy to pick up and use.
Both React and Vue:
use a virtual DOM
provide reactive view components
maintain a focus on one aspect of development. In this case, the view.
With so many similarities, you might assume that they’re both different versions of the same thing.
Well there’s one major difference between these two libraries: how they empower you the developer to create your view components, and in turn, your application.
React uses JSX, a term coined by the React team, to render content onto the DOM. So what is JSX? Basically, JSX is a JavaScript render function that helps you insert your HTML right into your JavaScript code.
Vue takes a different approach and uses HTML-like templates. Using Vue templates is like using JSX in that they’re both created using JavaScript. The main difference is that JSX functions are never used in the actual HTML file, while Vue templates are.
React JSX
Let’s take a deeper look into how JSX works. Assume that you have a list of names that you want to display onto the DOM. A list of new hires that your company recently made.
If you were using plain HTML, you would first need to create an index.html file. Then you would add the following lines of code.
<ul> <li> John </li> <li> Sarah </li> <li> Kevin </li> <li> Alice </li> <ul>
Nothing spectacular here, just plain HTML code.
So how would you do the same thing using JSX? The first step would be to create another index.html file. But instead of adding the full HTML like you did before, you’ll only add a simple div element. This div will be the container element where all your React code will be rendered.
The div will need to have a unique ID so that React knows where to find it. Facebook tends to favor the root keyword, so let’s stick with that.
<div id=root></div>
Now, onto the most important step. Creating the JavaScript file that will hold all the React code. Call this one app.js.
So now that you have all that out of the way, onto the main event. Displaying all the new hires to the Dom using JSX
You would first need to create an array with the names of the new hires.
const names = [‘John’, ‘Sarah’, ‘Kevin’, ‘Alice’];
From there you would need to create a React element that will dynamically render the entire list of names. This without you having to manually display each one.
const displayNewHires = ( <ul> {names.map(name => <li>{name}</li> )} </ul> );
The key thing to note here is that you are not having to create individual < li> elements. You only need describe how you want them to look once and React will handle the rest. That is quite a powerful thing. While you only have a few names, imagine having a list of hundreds of thousands! You can see how this would be a much better approach. Especially i f th e <li> elements are more complex than the ones used here.
The last bit of code that is needed to render the content to the screen is the main ReactDom render function.
ReactDOM.render( displayNewHires, document.getElementById(‘root’) );
Here you are telling React to render the content of displayNewHires inside the div with an element of root.
This is what your final React code should look like:
const names = [‘John’, ‘Sarah’, ‘Kevin’, ‘Alice’]; const displayNewHires = ( <ul> {names.map(name => <li>{name}</li> )} </ul> ); ReactDOM.render( displayNewHires, document.getElementById(‘root’) );
One key thing to keep in mind here is that this is all React code. This means that it will all compile down to plain old JavaScript. Here’s what it would ultimately look like:
‘use strict’; var names = [‘John’, ‘Sarah’, ‘Kevin’, ‘Alice’]; var displayNewHires = React.createElement( ‘ul’, null, names.map | 6,292 |
After US President Donald Trump ignored warnings from the international community and formally recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, some Twitter users focused on how Arabs contributed in the loss of Jerusalem.
The status of the holy city is an extremely sensitive aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
While Israel claims the whole city its capital – following the occupation of East Jerusalem in the 1967 war with Syria, Egypt and Jordan – Palestinians have long seen East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
Turkish protesters gather outside the US Consulate in Istanbul after Trump’s announcement [Chris McGrath/Getty Images]
“Jerusalem was lost from the day Sadaat visited it and the day you all danced for Oslo,” wrote Mourid Barghouti, a celebrated Palestinian poet and writer, referring to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and the Oslo Accords.
When Sadat took over the presidency in Egypt in 1970, he offered a peace settlement with Israel along the lines of UN Resolution 242, which, more or less, cemented Israel’s military victory.
As for the Oslo Accords, in 1993, the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) formally recognised one another for the first time, and committed to negotiate a solution to their decades-long conflict based on territorial compromise.
The accords did not stipulate, but implied, the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. That two-state vision required Israel to abandon its negation of Palestinian claims to national sovereignty, and Palestinians accept that such claims would be limited to only a small part of the entire territory of historic Palestine for which the PLO had been fighting, recognising Israel’s sovereignty over the remainder.
“Oh Arabs and Muslims, Bolivia will ask for an emergency security council meeting in the event that Trump recognises Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Where is the Arab representative in the security council to call for such a meeting?” said Abdullah K. AlShayji, a professor at Kuwait University.
يا عرب ويامسلمين #بوليفيا ستطلب عقد اجتماع عاجل لمجلس الأمن في حال أعترف #ترامب ب #القدس عاصمة ل #إسرائيل!!
وين ممثل المجموعة العربية في مجلس الأمن #مصر من الدعوة لاجتماع طاريءلمجلس الأمن؟! — عبدالله الشايجي (@docshayji) December 6, 2017
Bolivia said it would request a meeting of the United Nations Security Council after Trump’s announcement on Wednesday, with Sacha Sergio Llorentty Soliz, UN ambassador, describing the move as a “reckless and a dangerous decision that goes against international law, the resolutions of the Security Council, it also weakens any effort for peace in the region and also upsets the whole region”.
Abdullah Hamidaddin, a social anthropologist, said: “Trump deals a blow to the Arabs and Muslims and calls on them to accept it quietly. He throws resolution 242 against a wall and insists that the US is with the peace process. He hopes the moderates can do their part, then the extremists can cut off the argument of the moderates. He says Israel is the greatest democracy because it practices apartheid and violates human rights.”
#ترامب:
يصفع كرامة العرب والمسلمين ويدعوهم لتلقيها بهدوء.
يرمي القرار 242 عرض الحائط ويصر أن أمريكا مع السلام.
يأمل من المعتدلين القيام بدورهم ثم يُمكّن المتطرفين ويقطع حجة المعتدلين.

refreshing not for the weakhearted
20 0 1 Review by gamer-ba974f Game bought on IG Would be an okay game if it did not have over a gazillion bugs that are either game breaking or causing crashes. Invisible weapons, no access to certian areas, you can't complete most missions for an achievement or to see what happens.
100 2 0 Review by Knuett Game bought on IG By far one of the best and most underrated games out there. It is where Bioshock, Deus Ex, Mass Effect and Alien Isolation meet. I finished it 3 times. Everything about it is well thought-through. You can see that Arcane Studios really tried to create an enjoyable, long-lasting gaming experience with this one. Lots of Options (play stealthy or aggressive, with or without abilities and tools, multiple endings based on the missions you complete)
Plot and characters/mimics
Open world
Atmosphere
Replayable Loading might take some time, didn't really bother me though

The mix of half life and dead space sound a really good to me, but the final resuls is boring. I knwo this game will have some fun base but I will be not in it...5/10. nice graphics

main weapon not an interesting story
better game in genre
90 3 0 Review by gamer-3281de Game bought on IG I loved it! Old school sci-fi/horror that isn't "on rails". I prefer games that have better reaply value such as this -- go full-out assault, or go stealth. Choose one story direction or another. Just got the DLC, looking forward to that, as well! Let's hope for Prey 2!!!

The game is pretty neat and surprised me in a very good way!

y ahora ya si tiene juego+ gran calidad sonora ninguno
100 4 0 Review by TropicalMuffin (read 40 reviews) An excellent and my personal most favourite game of 2017.
A thrilling story with haunting yet amazing moments and plot twists. A place where your empathy and choices depend a lot.
Gameplay with different types of enemies including the most iconic shape-shifting mimics that you never know when and where are they going to sneak on you. A complete opposite of it is the big monster that hunts you down unless you find a good spot to hide and wait 2 wasteful minutes there until it goes away (or you can just try to kill it).
Combat system offers more than it can - with a lot of special abilities like the one that alows you to shape-shift into almost anything. Weapons are a possibility too (shotgun, laser thing and a pistol), but more importantly the tools that let you escape, solve puzzles, repair and slow the enemies.
Some of the puzzles are too challenging but very rewarding - if you will try to cheat codes for example safe doors, etc. then you can't because the game has set different unique codes for everyone, so you will have to watch a lot of YT guides (unless you are a genius).
The map is definitely not the type of "get there once and never get there back" maps.
With a dedication this game can be your dream crush, you just have to try it (demo is available). Variety of weapons
Creative and tough enemies
Thrilling scene
Puzzles and map (levels)

U nedostatku pametnijih i nedajbože korisnijih političkih ideja, predstojeće političke bitke HDZ je nakanio iznijeti na plećima upokojenog Franje Tuđmana. Japino ime sve češće je na usnama Jadranke Kosor, a od naroda kratkog pamćenja očekuje se da popuši priču, pa da svi skupa zagazimo u nove pobjede. Dvije povijesne pljačke, ona iz devedesetih i ova aktualna, imaju biti zaboravljene kad se birači opiju mišlju na (pre)minulog poglavara. Na ovom mjestu dajemo svoj skromni doprinos nastojanjima najveće oporbene stranke
Od ove sezone opet se nosi - Franjo Tuđman
O genocidnim promjenama:
"S jedne strane one neizbježno produbljuju povijesne razdore, razjaruju međunacionalnu mržnju i potiču osvetničke porive, pa sa svime time pridonose održavanju međunarodne zategnutosti i izbijanju sve novih i novih sukoba. S druge strane, dovode do etničke homogenizacije pojedinih naroda, do većeg sklada nacionalnog sastava pučanstva i državnih granica pojedinih zemalja, pa to može imati pozitivne učinke na kretanja u budućnosti u smislu smanjivanja razloga za nova nasilja i povoda za nove sukobe i potrese'
(Bespuća povijesne zbiljnosti, 1989. godina)
O malim stvarima koje čovjeka čine sretnim:
"Sretan sam da mi žena nije Židovka ni Srpkinja."
(travanj 1990, predizborni skup HDZ-a u Dubravi)
O stabilnosti u komunističkim državama:
"Uspostavili smo demokratski poredak stabilniji nego u bilo kojoj drugoj bivšoj komunističkoj državi."

On Sunday, Portugal will select their entry for Eurovision 2018 and the country is on hold to see who will succeed to Salvador Sobral’s magical performance.
There’s only one thing missing: the Wiwi Jury. Our in-house panel of music unprofessionals dived into Portuguese traditional music and came up with their favourites.
Given time constraints we weren’t able to evaluate all 14 songs in the usual Wiwi Jury way. Instead, 11 members of team wiwibloggs listed their top-five candidates along with a review of their favourite. Let’s find out who we want in Eurovision!
Robyn
1. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
Strangely enough, the FdC performance of “O Jadim” sounds like a stripped-down acoustic performance of a much bigger, fuller production. The strength of the song means that it could stand up to either treatment, but a Eurovision performance could handle a bigger, bolder production. Cláudia has an ethereal sound and look and brings clear emotion to the performance. Portugal doesn’t need a Salavdor sequel to win FdC. “O Jardim” goes in the right direction.
2. Lili – “O voo das cegonhas”
3. David Pessoa – “Amor veloz”
4. Joana Barra Vaz – “Anda estragar-me os planos”
5. Susana Travassos – “Messageira”
Bernardo
1. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
In terms of production, “O Jardim” is an interesting piece that combines a ballad construction with modern beats. Add to that meaningful lyrics and a distinct and unique voice like Cláudia and you have a diamond ready to be polished. In fact, Cláudia brings a lot to the song. Her presence is engaging and her body beautifully connects with the song, especially important when you’re singing in Portuguese and few know what you’re trying to say. If it wins, Portugal will continue its new trend of sending quality entries and should be proud in Eurovision, no matter the result.
2. Janeiro – “(sem título)”
3. Peu Madureira – “Só por Ela”
4. Lili – “O Voo das Cegonhas”
5. Peter Serrado – “Sunset”
Jordi
1. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
Simplicity at its finest sung in such beautiful way. Claudia Pascoal’s “O Jardim” is not a song but a journey of emotions and placid tempos that conducts you to a more peaceful state of mind. The way Claudia and Isaura both perform and the emotion they put into it make this song already a worthy experience to feel. Both voices merge amazingly while dripping with sensitivity. And despite Eurovision already have some other ballads, this one does sound timeless and overall mesmerizing.
2. Janeiro – “(sem titulo)”
3. Catarina Miranda – “Para Sorrir Eu Não Preciso de Nada”
4. Lili – “O Voo das Cegonhas”
5. Peu Madureira – “Só Por Ela”
Bogdan
1. Janeiro – “(sem titulo)”
This is the only song from Portugal’s selection that utterly seduced me at first listen. It feels like Janeiro is baring his soul in this beautiful, untitled poem set on guitar chords. I can see him in a deserted park at night singing to the stars above. (The sound of the ambulance siren in the distance is a very nice touch.) It is so intimate yet so powerful at the same time. And the lyrics, my God — you have to check them out. If Portugal sends Janeiro to Eurovision, I will be as ecstatic as I was last year.
2. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
3. Peu Madureira – “Só per ela”
4. Lili – “O voo das cegonhas”
5. Anabela – “Para te dar abrigo”
Luís
1. Cláudia Pascoal – � | 6,296 |
�O Jardim”
“O Jardim” is a delicate pleasure that’s hard to see on a big stage. Portugal has the option of presenting such a quality song in the final of Eurovision, and they should not waste it. Cláudia’s voice is familiar, yet distinctive enough to make an impression: she has peaks like those of the big pop divas, but then also masters the whispers of an acoustic performance. The performance would need some polish, especially with some closer camera shots, but this is good to go already.
2. Janeiro – “(sem titulo)”
3. Lili – “O voo das cegonhas”
4. Maria Inés París – “Bandeira azul”
5. Catarina Miranda – “Para sorrir eu não preciso de nada”
Edd
1. Catarina Miranda – “Para sorrir eu não preciso de nada”
This is a sweet song with an even sweeter message, but the real star is Catarina. Her quirky look, smooth voice and deeply endearing performance style warms your heart. The song does need some added instrumentation to give it a bit more personality (some violins and xylophone would do wonders), but the potential is there — and whilst this may not stand out in a selection of almost exclusively non-contemporary ballads, it would do at Eurovision come May.
2. Peu Madureira – “Só por ela”
3. Anabela – “Para te dar abrigo”
4. Peter Serrado – “Sunset”
5. Joana Barra Vaz – “Anda estragar-me os planos”
Jonathan
1. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
I was quite glad I had a large pile of ironing to do while listening to the 14 finalists, as it gave my mind something else to focus on and stopped me drifting off during many of the performances. However, there was one song that made me put down the iron and watch it all the way though. While “O Jardim” has the ‘non-fast food music’ feel that Portugal seem to want in their entry, it also still feels relatively contemporary unlike many of the other entries. Additionally, although there are a number of ballads in the selection Cláudia is the only one to fully put her emotions into the song, which you can feel even within the first few notes. This would give Portugal the opportunity to show Europe that they can honour their Eurovision winner, but still not be stuck in a cycle of recycling the same thing every year.
2. Peter Serrado – “Sunset”
3. Lili – “O voo das cegonhas”
4. Joana Barra Vaz – “Anda estragar-me os planos”
5. Catarina Miranda – “Para sorrir eu não preciso de nada”
Natalie
1. Lili – “O Voo das Cegonhas”
Those heavy bass beats at the start showed me we had something a bit special and different here. After winning with a very traditional Latin song, what Portugal really needs is to send something crazy and modern this year. Everything is so unoriginal and interesting here; the bouncy drum beat, the electronic sounds, and Lili’s voice is so different and transcendental… it just has me enraptured. I really don’t think that Portugal we able to do two wins in a row, but as a host country, it would be awesome if they sent something as off-kilter as this.
2. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
3. Joana Barra Vaz – “Anda Estragar-me os Planos”
4. Catarina Miranda – “Para Sorrir Eu Não Preciso de Nada”
5. Peu Madureira – “Só por Ela”
Sebastian
1. Cláudia Pascoal – “O Jardim”
What was clearly a two-horse race with the now-ousted Diogo Picarra has now become a much easier feat for Claudia Pascoal. Claudia delivers a somewhat haunting piece, with a beat, rhythm and atmosphere that grows little by little across three minutes. | 6,297 |
Three people, including a minor, have been injured in the city of Lille after a gunman opened fire near the central Porte d’Arras metro station. Police are not considering the incident to be terror-related, local media reports.
Witnesses heard at least five shots fired in central Lille late on Friday, local outlet La Voix du Nord reported.
The injured reportedly included a 14-year-old teenager, who was shot in the leg. Another person has suffered a neck injury and has been hospitalized.

The coverage of the shooting has caused some controversy on social media. While major international news agencies chose to ignore the incident altogether, several UK tabloids picked the story under headlines such as “Terror fears in Lille as'many wounded' in shooting near metro station in center of French city” (Daily Mirror) and “Terror alert in Lille…” (Daily Mail).

In a wave of backlash on Twitter, some criticized the lack of coverage by mainstream media, while others denounced the “terror” label a number of outlets and social media pages chose to use before the nature of the shooting could be verified.

The Islamic State’s own news agency was quick to claim responsibility for a double murder last night after a young man stabbed a senior police officer and his wife to death in a Paris suburb.
French president Francois Hollande confirmed the attack was “unquestionably a terrorist act”, and French newspapers this morning are reporting that the killer, 25-year-old Larossi Abballa had already been convicted for terror offences.
The police Commissioner, identified as 42-year old Jean-Baptiste Salvaing was stabbed to death while in civilian clothes outside his home last night. The killer then barricaded himself inside the home where he cut Jessica Salvaing’s throat. The wife of the slain officer, Mrs. Salvaing worked for the French police in an administrative role and also died of her wounds.
While holed up in the house, it is reported by French news outlets that the killer ‘Facebook Live’ live-streamed a video feed of the killings to his profile — maintained under the pseudonym “Mohamed Ali” — and uploaded pictures of his victims.
During the video livecast which took place before his account was suspended by Facebook the killer mused what to do with the three year old child who sat near him after he killed it’s mother, and called on his followers to wage jihad against “police officers, prison guards, journalists, rappers”. According to Le Figaro the killer claimed “the euro will be a cemetery”, referring possibly to the Euro 2016 football tournament, or the continent itself.
After “several hours of negotiations”, a police commando unit stormed the house, shooting Mr. Abballa dead, but recovering the police officer’s three year old son who was said to be “shocked but unharmed”.
Police have made two arrests this morning following raids on the killer’s apartment. Although those held in police custody have not been identified, they are said to be “relations” of Abballa.
The ability of French counter-terror police to adequately track and monitor the thousands of potential terror suspects living and moving across France and the European Union through the Schengen borderless zone will again be called into question after it was revealed this morning the killer was already known to police, reports Le Figaro. Larossi Abballa was convicted in 2013 and jailed for three years for terror recruitment in a plot linking France and Pakistan.
The terrorist spent just six months in prison before being released to live close to Commissioner Salvaing.
The Islamic State claimed the attack last night, with the Amaq agency — the same ‘news’ arm of ISIS which claimed responsibility for Sunday’s Pulse nightclub killing in Orlando, Florida — reporting “Islamic State fighter kills deputy chief of the police station in the city of Les Mureaux and his wife with blade weapons near Paris”.
France is already on the highest level of terror alert in anticipation of attacks during the Euro 2016 football tournament. Following an emergency cabinet meeting at the Elysee Palace this morning French President Hollande called it a “cowardly act” and said the nation faces a “terrorist threat of great importance”. He said the state had “mobilised considerable resources” to fight the threat.
A spokesman for France’s trade union of Police Commissioners told press his colleagues were in “shock, absolute horror” at the attack. Lamenting the development in Islamist terrorism that now sees off-duty officers out of uniform targeted by killers, he said: “It’s unheard of! They now attack the police and their families at home. It is very disturbing. My thoughts go primarily to the family of these two police officers, and their three year old boy who survived the madness”.
Those who see president Hollande as having failed to protect the nation from Islamic terror have been vocal in their condemnation. Former president Nicolas Sarkozy, who hopes to run again in 2017 said the nation’s level of vigilance “must be adapted without delay”, and the government must “strengthen the security of the French, and the protection of our security forces… the whole nation is under attack”.
Riding high in the polls is Front National candidate Marine Le Pen, who called it the “umpteenth attack” against France by Islamic radicals on Twitter. She said “the massacre of these two police officers in front of their baby is a crime” and that “the relentless fight against Islamism must finally start”.
