Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian film director and civil society activist, who participated in the Avtomaidan Civil Movement has been arrested and charged with terrorism. His arrest is a component of the campaign unleashed against Russian policy opponents in the Crimea. We demand Oleg Sentsov be freed immediately. Oleg's first full-length film, and his very first piece, The Gamer (2011) brought him acclaim from both film critics and spectators. He is the single father of two underage kids. When Russian troops entered the Crimean land, Oleg put his second feature-length film, Rhinoceros, on the back burner to become one of the few who supported the move for a unitary Ukraine. He helped local activists to survive, bought foodstuff and staples and distributed them among the Ukrainian servicemen blocked at their bases. The Russian FSS’ incriminations against the Ukrainian film director are absurd and devoid of any trace of common sense. 11th May 2014: Oleg Sentsov was detained in Simferopol 18th May 2014: Oleg Sentsov is convoyed to the Lefortovo Detention Facility, Moscow 19th May 2014: Dmitriy Dinze, Sentsov’s counsel, is to meet him and investigators. We vigorously condemn the brazen violation of Ukrainian legislation by Russian services in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea that is an inalienable part of Ukraine! Stop brutal violations of rights and freedoms of Ukraine nationals in Russia-occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea! We demand that the Central Department of the Federal Security Service of Russian Federation immediately free Oleg Sentsov! We ask US Secretary of State John Kerry to intervene to demand his release. Это задержание - часть кампании, организованной в Крыму против несогласных с российской политикой В Крыму арестован по обвинению в терроризме украинский режиссер и гражданский активист Олег Сенцов, принимавший участие в общественном движении "Автомайдан" по обвинению в организации теракта. Олег снял один полнометражный фильм, но уже первая его работа - картина "Гамер" 2011 года - получила признание кинокритиков и зрителей. Один воспитывает двух несовершеннолетних детей.

The game consists of 26 ovals, each labeled with a date between 1635 until the peace treaty of 1660. Each oval is divided in half: the left half details the progress made by the French in that year, and the right half details the progress made by the Spanish. On the right hand side of the board is a list of rules, outlining the various penalties or prizes for landing on certain ovals. It is a game for up to four players with two dice, and each player has to put up their stake before joining the game. The object is to be the first to land on the final oval of 1660 with an exact throw of the dice. Du Val made several geographic games - see our 6728.000 for another example. Brown, Malcolm J.

Aerial shot from downtown Barcelona, the city is packed ahead of general strike demo. #VagaGeneral3O pic.twitter.com/Tfo7pkhqIL — 15MBcn_int (@15MBcn_int) October 3, 2017 By Monday night, the Guardia Civil [national police] had left Calella [small Catalan town near Barcelona], leading a spokesman for Spain’s main police union, to complain that officers were “fleeing from hotel to hotel; they are like rats who have to hide”. Via The Guardian By now, the images of the brutality and ferocity with which Spanish and Catalan police were attacking people on October 1st, in order to prevent a referendum on Catalan independence, have circulated everywhere. So have the images of people in Catalonia pushing back lines of police. The government threw gasoline onto smoldering embers, and the general strike which occurred today (October 1st) is the result. The mix of empowering and disempowering images on Sunday has been replaced by a real sense of collective power and solidarity. From North America, it seems hard to grasp what “general strike” actually means on the ground. In the US at least, we haven’t had officially had one since 1946, in Oakland (although the Detroit uprising of ’67, for example, was a more authentic general strikes than many things which go by that name elsewhere). For radicals in North America, we have a sense that “general strikes” are good things, but we’re in the same position as Europeans first trying to understand the platypus – we’ve never seen it, we only know its characteristics from writings, and we have a sneaking suspicion that it’s either fake, or not as good as we want to believe. What we forget – what we as a class and a culture have been made to forget – is that there’s nothing mystic nor exotic about general strikes. Our grandparents pulled off 6 citywide general strikes in 1946, plus nationwide strikes in coal and rail. Since then, “unionism” has been channeled into a very narrow workplace contractualism that makes solidarity impossible. They’ve happened here before, and they can happen again, when we build a new kind of unionism and throw out workplace contractualism. But let’s return to Spain, which had a massive strike wave in the 70s after the death of Franco, and where the state and capital still haven’t been able to fully exorcise the memory of militant, class-wide solidarity. There have been a number of nationwide general strikes since then, but always organized by the two business unions in Spain (CCOO and UGT). There are a number of independent, militant, and radical (often anarchist) unions, as well as regional unions in Catalonia, Andalucia, and the Basque country, but they have always had to follow the general strikes called by the business unions and fight to make them more militant. In 40 years, they’ve never been able to pull off their own general strikes. Until now. Els estibadors de BCN, reunits en assemblea, hem decidit per unanimitat secundar la vaga general del 3-O. Per la dignitat i els drets civils pic.twitter.com/zRptqBib91 — OEPB (@CoordinadoraBCN) October 2, 2017 The independent dockworkers union (Coordinadora) voting unanimously to participate in the general strike. The strike had been called originally almost two weeks ago by a coalition of regional and radical unions, including several that refer to revolutionary and anarchist unionism (the most well known of which are the CNT and CGT). They attempted to articulate a fine line, that they were not for the creation of a new Catalan state, but were against police repression and austerity (including when repression and austerity are carried out by Catalan police and politicians). This coalition of unions has been working together since the economic crisis erupted in 2010, with the goal of jointly organizing general strikes outside of the control of the business unions. That was the theory, but it had never been tested before, and it wasn’t clear how effective it would be. Then came the police attacks across all of Catalonia, and the people’s response of anger and outrage. In several areas people forced police to retreat, including from the hotel where they have historically stayed when needed in large number in Barcelona (see quote above). On the night of October 1, the business unions in Catalonia signed on to the general strike for October 3. This was the first time that the radical unions had taken the initiative and been followed (rather than ignored) by the business unions, and nobody knew quite what it meant. The next morning, the business unions held embarrassing press conferences

Almost every aviation fan and watches collector should be familiar with German manufacturer Laco. It’s well-known because of its “fliegers” – pilot’s watches. While some might say that such type is too simple, you can’t deny their minimalistic beauty. Manufacturer also provides different types of the dials and designs and even vary classic form and add new features. Today’s article is dedicated to the newcomer from Laco – Monte Carlo Chrono, which should be displayed in Basel. Don’t let photos fool you – new model is not small and measures 44mm diameter, so it’s more suitable for man’s hand. 🙂 Of course, from both sides it’s closed with saphire glass, so you will be able to appreciate movement beauty through transparent backside. Почти каждый фанат авиации и коллекционер часов должны быть знакомы с немецким производителем Laco. Он стал известным благодаря так называемым “флигерам” – пилотским часам немецких пилотов. Тогда как некоторые возразят, что подобный тип довольно прост, они не смогут оспорить минималистичную элегантность. Производитель также предлагает разные виды циферблатов, корпусов, и даже изменяет классические формы и добавляет новые функции. Сегодняшняя статья посвящена новинке от компании Laco – хронометру Monte Carlo, который будет показан в Базеле. Не дайте фотографиям обмануть вас – на самом деле часы отнюдь не маленькие и имеют диаметр 44мм, так что это явно мужская модель. 🙂 Разумеется, с обеих сторон установлено сапфировое стекло, так что можно будет рассмотреть механизм через прозрачную з

аднюю сторону. As for the movement, manufacturer states that it is Laco 50, based on 25 jewels with day/date indication. All main hands (hours, minutes and seconds) are covered with Superluminova C3, so you can expect bright shining after short exposure to the light. Note that smaller hands painted with white and red, such feature adds subtle accent to the clssic style of the Monte Carlo. All those features are closed into waterproof steel case (up to 5atm). Что касается механизма, то завявлено, что это будет Laco 50 с 25 камнями и индикацией даты/дня недели. Все основные стрелки (часовая, минутная и секундная) покрыты материалом Superluminova C3, так что можно ожидать яркое свечение после выставления на яркий свет. Обратите также внимание, что небольшие стрелки окрашены в белый и красный, что добавляет небольшой акцент во внешнем виде Monte Carlo. Всё это закрыто в водонепроницаемый корпус (до 5атм). As for the belt, new model features classic black calf leather version with two rivets from each side. Of course, let’s not forget about possibility to order additional strap from the same manufacturer, so you achieve more personalized appearance. Total weight of the watch is equal to 132g, not that much for the given size. New model should be available right after Basel, and we hope that it will be possible to share with you first view right from the expo. Don’t forget to like our Facebook page, so that you can get fresh articles on time. Что касается ремешка, новинка оснащена классическим чёрным кожанным вариантом с парой заклёпок с каждой стороны. Разумеется, не стоит забывать о возможности добавить в комплект другой вариант, чтобы получить чуть более персонализированные часы. Общий вес будет равен 132г, что не так много для подобных размер

This is the barrio that I chose to live in! People call it an artsy hipster neighborhood, and it is true that it is full of students and little boutiques. Despite some peoples’ concerns it is definitely possible to find a nice apartment in this area without spending an arm and a leg, and I recommend it as it is always full of people and I always felt very safe walking around alone at night. It does have a reputation as a big part neighborhood, which is true. As I lived on the fourth floor of my building, the parties going all night didn’t keep me awake on the nights I stayed in. Cafes: Toma Cafe, C/ de la Palma, 49, 28004 As someone accustomed to the quality of coffee brewed by the coffee snobs in Portland, OR, I feel comfortable saying that this cafe has really fabulous coffee. It’s a nice place to work, has soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries (including gluten-free) and the baristas do all speak English if that’s a draw. La Bicicleta, Plaza San Idelfonso, 9, 28004 This cafe is also a bar, has great coffee as well as food, cocktails, and food. It is usually really packed full of people both working and socializing. Bars (In addition to these, make sure to check out the bars with terazas around Plaza Dos de Mayo): El Rincon, C/ Espíritu Santo, 26, 28004. I love this bar/cafe/restaurant. They have, in my humble opinion, the best tortilla española in Madrid! And that is saying something. Additionally, the food on their menu is always delicious. It’s a nice place to hang out with a friend at any hour of the day may you be drinking café con leche, un tinto de verano, zumo de naranja vermut de grifo, or a caña. Bar Sidi, C/ del Barco, 15, 28004 Named all too appropriately, this bar has copas de vino and cañas for one euro each. La Camocha, C/ Fuencarral, 95, 28004 Asurian sidra and food. Casa Camacho, C/ San Andres, 4, 28004 It was always an easy decision to hit up this little ”old-man-bar” as we liked to call it. Known for having vermouth on tap (vermut de grifo) this bar is always packed on weekend evenings. Delicious olives come as tapas. Try a ”yayo,” a traditional cocktail using the vermut. Ocean Rock Bar, C/ San Vicente Ferrer, 27, 28004 Fun to go to late at night, this bar fills up quickly. There is a strange mirrored room in the back. We would sometimes get their calimochos, which were giant and with a discount if you bought two at once. Destino Malasaña, C/ Manuela Malasaña, 33, 28004. This is a good bar to go have some copas with friends at all hours of the night. L’Absinthe, C/ San Vicente Ferrer 32. As the name states, this is an absinthe bar. It’s quite small and it has a homey vibe to it, full but with enough room to join in the bustle comfortably. They have some of the best White Russians I have ever tried. Restaurantes: Circo de las Tapas, Corredera Baja de San Pablo, 21, 28004. Delicious tapas. Also a very popular location so you will want to arrive early or go on a week night. Restaurante Etíope Nuria, Calle de Manuela Malasaña, 6, 28004. Fabulous Ethiopian restaurant. The owner is really nice. I recommend ordering the specialty platters and sharing them. I was a big fan of the lamb (cordero) and the vegetarian plates, not to mention the honey wine. When I crave special food, it is the food from this restaurant. El Kartel de Malasaña, C/ San Vicente Ferrer, 6, 28004. Great Mexican restaurant. Evidently the owner is from DF. I was overjoyed to find super Mexican tacos de huitlacoche (a delicious fungus that grows on corn) and tacos de flor de calabaza. The nachos are overflowing with guacamole, and the tamal that I shared with a friend would

Like før midnatt tirsdag avfyrte Iran en rekke raketter mot militærbasene Ain al-Assad og Erbil i Irak, hvor blant annet amerikanske og norske styrker holder til. Iransk statlig TV kaller det hevn og truer med flere angrep. Iran avfyrte flere raketter mot Ain al-Assad og Erbil, som hevn etter at USA likviderte den iranske generalen Qasem Soleimani i et droneangrep fredag. Rundt 70 nordmenn er stasjonert ved basen, men ingen av disse skal være skadet i angrepet, får TV 2 opplyst. Angrepet skjedde rundt 23.30 norsk tid. 22 raketter avfyrt Et amerikansk tjenestemann sier klokken 03.20 at totalt 15 raketter ble avfyrt mot militærbasene. 10 av disse traff Ain al-Assad, én traff Erbil, mens fire nådde ikke målene sine. Det melder ABC News. Onsdag formiddag opplyser derimot irakiske myndigheter at det var snakk om 22 raketter som ble avfyrt. Irakiske myndigheter opplyser også at ingen ble skadd eller drept i angrepene. Iran, på sin side, hevder de drepte 80 soldater. En amerikansk tjenestemann opplyser at de amerikanske styrkene klarte å spore rakettene før de traff militærbasen, noe som ga dem tid til å søke dekning. President Donald Trump var lenge forventet å tale til det amerikanske folket om angrepet, men denne talen ble avlyst. I stedet tok presidenten til Twitter for å uttale seg om angrepene: All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2020 – Alt er bra! Missiler ble skutt fra Iran mot to militærbaser i Irak. Vurdering av omkomne og skadde foregår nå. Så langt, så bra! Vi har det mektigste og mest velutstyrte militæret i verden. Jeg vil komme med en uttalelse i morgen, skriver Trump på Twitter, omtrent klokken 3.45 norsk tid. Les mer om amerikanernes reaksjoner på angrepet her. Hevnangrep – Denne morgenen har modige krigere fra Irans revolusjonsgarde gjennomført en vellykket operasjon kalt «Operasjon Martyr Soleimani» ved å avfyre et titalls raketter mot basen til terrorister og invasive amerikanske styrker, melder det iranske nyhetsbyrået ISNA ifølge ABC. Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched. We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression. — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 8, 2020 Eksplosjonen etter raketter treffer hva som skal være militærbasen i Ain al-Bassad. Foto: Iran Press via Reuters Angrepet kommer etter at Iran har lovet å hevne «den amerikanske likvideringen av Irans general Qasem Soleimani» sier TV-kanalen videre. Generalen ble begravet i hjembyen Kerman kort tid etter angrepene. Revolusjonsgarden hevder at

The winners of the Comedy.co.uk Awards 2018 have been announced. For the fifth year running comic-horror anthology Inside No. 9 has been voted Best TV Comedy Drama. It also picks up Comedy Of The Year for the second year running in British Comedy Guide's awards, which are entirely based on a public poll. Meanwhile, Channel 4 picks up both TV sitcom prizes - the Best New and Best Returning categories - for Derry Girls and Friday Night Dinner, respectively. The full results are: Comedy Of The Year 2018 / Best TV Comedy Drama Inside No. 9 (BBC Two, BBC Studios) Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton say of their double win: "Wow, what a fantastic way to start the week filming Series 5. "Having written an episode that highlights how corrupt and meaningless awards are, we'd like to backtrack and say just how important this particular award is to us, and we're all very moved by it. It's all down to having the best fans in the business - you stole our hearts. Cheese and Crackers would be over the moon. Sincerely, thanks." Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning at the BBC, comments: "British comedy is in robust health with the breadth and excellence of these worthy winners. Inside No. 9 is the most inventive and prolific comedy being made in the world right now and it's terrific for Reece and Steve to get recognised for the sheer quality of what they are able to create and perform. It's firmly cemented itself as a contemporary classic and getting the double two years running is a great honour, thanks to all the comedy fans." Best New TV Sitcom Derry Girls (Channel 4, Hat Trick Productions) Lisa McGee, creator and writer of Derry Girls, says: "This is so amazing! We are absolutely thrilled! Thank you, British Comedy Guide, and thank you to everyone who voted, you're all legends." Best Returning TV Sitcom Friday Night Dinner (Channel 4, Big Talk Productions / Popper Pictures) Written by Robert Popper and starring Paul Ritter, Tamsin Greig, Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal and Mark Heap, Series 5 of the hit sitcom was broadcast in May and June. Popper says: "Ich, und das ganze Friday Night Dinner Team freuen uns riesig ueber diese vortreffliche Auszeichnung. Ehre sei dem Allmaechtigen. Tarvu sei Lob und Preis!" ("I, and the entire Friday Night Dinner team, are delighted to win this prestigious award. Glory be to The Almighty. Praise Tarvu!") Best Radio Sitcom Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show! (BBC Radio 4, Komedia Entertainment / Smooth Operations) Count Arthur Strong says: "I am literally highly delighted on behalf of all involved to accept this prestigious award for Best Radio Sitcom, for the SECOND TIME (please note BBBC). When I was evacuated to Doncaster as a small boy during the war, I never thought for one minute that this accolade would be happening to me today. How could I? I'm not sodding Nostrodamus. Bless all who voted for me. This is how you do a flipping referendum. Looking forward to receiving the cheque. End of this message." Best TV Sketch Show Vic & Bob's Big Night Out (BBC Four, BBC Studios) Securing the Best TV Sketch Show title for a second year running, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer quip: "After all these years it is especially poignant to win an award voted for by the British public. We wish everyone involved a restful night's sleep." The BBC's Shane Allen adds: "Another title retention for Vic and Bob, who share the affirmation that their work is better than ever and they remain at the top of the comedy tree after 30 years as pioneers." Best Radio Sketch Show Dead Ringers (BBC Radio 4, BBC Studios) Dead Ringers also wins for a second year running, its third in total. Producer and creator Bill Dare says: "We are chuffed to bits to get this award for another year, especially since it's voted for by listeners and fans, and I think the BCG visitors know their onions when it comes to comedy. It's all down to a really dedicated team of writers and performers and a crazy political situation which has put challenges and opportunities our way at relentless pace. I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to vote. (The series comes back in June when all this mess will be over and everyone in Britain will be calm and happy.)" Best TV Panel Show

Status { // if alien is hit by a laser beam if collide ( aliens [ i ], beam ) { // draw the explosion aliens [ i ]. FilterE. DrawAt ( dst, src, image. Pt ( aliens [ i ]. Position. X, aliens [ i ].

OverOperator ) } // drop torpedoes if rand. Float64 () < bombProbability { dropBomb ( aliens [ i ]) } } } } To determine where the aliens should be going, we multiply the horizontal (X) position of the alien with the variable alienDirection. We also use the Status of the alien to determine if it’s alive or dead. If it’s alive, we check if it has collided with a laser beam. If yes, it’s dead. We draw the explosion sprite, set the Status to false, rack up the player points and reset the laser beam. Reseting the laser beam just means we set the beam’s Status back to false and place it at the vertical (Y) level the same as the cannon. func resetBeam () { beam. Status = false beam. Position. Y = 250 } Collision physics If the alien didn’t collide with the laser beam, we display either the normal sprite or the alternate sprite. This gives us the animation of a moving alien. Let’s take a quick look at the collision physics, which is concentrated in the collide() function. func collide ( s1, s2 Sprite ) bool { spriteA := image. Rect ( s1. Position. X, s1. Position. Y, s1. Position. X + s1. size. Dx (), s1. Position. Y + s1. size. Dy ()) spriteB := image. Rect ( s2. Position. X, s2. Position. Y, s2. Position. X + s1. size. Dx (), s2. Position. Y + s1. size. Dy ()) if spriteA. Min. X < spriteB. Max. X && spriteA. Max. X > spriteB. Min. X && spriteA. Min. Y < spriteB. Max. Y && spriteA. Max. Y > spriteB. Min. Y { return true } return false } Give the two sprites are boxed within the two rectangles, the sprites are considered to have collided if all these conditions are met: spriteA.Min.X < spriteB.Max.X spriteA.Max.X > spriteB.Min.X spriteA.Min.Y < spriteB.Max.Y spriteA.Max.Y > spriteB.Min.Y Bombs away The aliens drop bombs as they descend on the laser cannon. Obviously we don’t want it to drop bombs continually, so we use a probability to determine if the bomb should be dropped or not. // drop torpedoes if rand. Float64 () < bombProbability { dropBomb ( aliens [ i ]) } Dropping a bomb here means we create a new Bomb sprite and set it to start at where the alien is located, then adding it to the array of bombs. func dropBomb ( alien Sprite ) { torpedo := Sprite { size : bombSprite, Filter : gift. New ( gift. Crop ( bombSprite )), Position : image. Pt ( alien. Position. X + 7, alien. Position. Y ), Status : true, } bombs = append ( bombs, torpedo ) } Now that we have drawn the aliens (or its death by explosion), we check if it has moved outside of the window. It it has, we reverse the direction and move the aliens down. // move the aliens back and forth if aliens [ 0 ]. Position. X < alienSize || aliens [ aliensPerRow - 1 ]. Position. X > windowWidth - ( 2 * alienSize ) { alienDirection = alienDirection * - 1 for i := 0 ; i < len

Summary: A chance encounter leads Dumbledore to finally make the decision to confront his demons. Or more specifically the one demon who started it all - Gellert Grindelwald. ~ The Last Straw ~ The latch slid to the side, and she peered through, her eyes furtive and wary. An elderly gentleman stood outside in a purple suit, unperturbed by the cold winds that assailed the trees outside. He waited expectantly. "Der Phönix fliegt hoch." The Phoenix flies high. "Guten Abend. Und seine Flammen brennen hell." He answered, in flawless German. Good evening. And its flames burn bright. His response was correct. Greeting first, then reply code. Had it been an impostor, they would have given the latter first, at which point she would activate the emergency portkey and flee. "You were not followed here?" "I daresay I wasn't," the man replied. "There was a particularly clingy fellow a few blocks back, but it turned out he was only after some money. Hard times." "You are sure of this?" Her voice was wary. "Quite." The latch closed. For a few seconds there was the sound of bolts being unlocked and a curious hum that accompanied numerous charms being undone, then the door creaked open. She ushered him in quickly, her eyes frantic as they darted around, then she slammed the door shut. She pulled out her wand. The gentleman waited with an air of infinite patience as she reapplied the charms she had undone before, giving an appreciative nod at her work. Despite the situation, she felt a strange sense of pride at his approval. She reached out an arm and took his coat. "Thank you." He ventured into the small room. A fireplace burned with a hearty blaze, giving the room a pleasant yellow glow. In the middle, a rickety table sat, covered with a sparse and faded tablecloth, and surrounded by two low wooden chairs. He pulled one back, ignoring the ominous creak it gave, and sat down. "Sorry about this place," she said. "It's all I could afford with such little time to prepare." He chuckled. "It's not a problem." She bustled around for a few seconds, her nervous energy apparent as she grabbed a boiling kettle from the fire and two mugs, and levitated them over to the table with a swish of her wand. "Would you like some tea?" "Yes, please." She poured him a cup carefully, and then one for herself. He took a sip and yelped, pulling the cup from his lips with a grimace. "A bit too hot for my tastes." "I'm very sorry, so sorry -" He smiled at her kindly, and waved away her excuses. "Not to worry, no harm done." He drew out his wand, tapping the steaming mug gently. The vapor that had been wafting from the tea disappeared as it cooled, and he nodded to himself, content. For a few minutes they sat in silence - he sipping his tea while she wrung her hands in silent frustration. "That was excellent tea." He set the half-full mug down. "I apologise, my mind does tend to wander a little bit. Now, what was it you so urgently wanted to tell me?" "Can you help?" She blurted out the question, and smacked herself mentally. He's probably the most powerful wizard in the world, aside from Herr Grindelwald himself. What am I doing? He gave her a fond smile. "That would depend, my dear, on the magnitude of the problem. If you wouldn't mind appraising me of the facts, I'm sure I could reach a suitable conclusion on the matter." Stupid, so stupid! Many people are depending on the outcome of this meeting, and this is the best I can do? She schooled her features into an apologetic look. Calm down, I've done this before. "The Zaubereiführer, he's planning an attack against the Polish Ministry in eight days." He stroked his beard, murmuring and nodding in agreement as she told him the details of the attack. He clasped his hands in front of him, and stared at her when she was done, curiosity shining in his twinkling blue eyes. "Tell me, how did you come by the knowledge of these plans.

Acta Medica Jugoslavica, gdje je rad objavljen, obratio se već 1991. godine, isto kad i dekanu Medicinskog fakulteta u Zagrebu Mati Graniću i Svjetskoj zdravstvenoj organizaciji, čiji je Kurjak bio suradnik. SZO je smjesta povukla sponzorstvo nad Kurjakovim simpozijem o ultrazvuku u ginekologiji i smijenila ga s pozicije direktora njihovog centra za suradnju, dok je hrvatski dvojac Chalmersu odgovorio da je Kurjak ugledni član hrvatske akademske zajednice i da ga mole za malo takta u pristupu (!). Više od deset godina poslije toga taktični je Chalmers, kaže, zažalio što je poslušao taj prijedlog, jer je našao novi Kurjakov plagijat, ovaj put doktorske teze jednog norveškog znanstvenika. Norvežani su o tome obavijestili Međunarodno udruženje za ultrazvuk u opstetriciji i ginekologiji, koje je promptno na tri godine izbacilo Kurjaka iz članstva, a zatim pisalo novom dekanu MEF-a u Zagrebu Borisu Labaru koji im – da stvar bude skandaloznija – nikada nije odgovorio. Chalmers se u zaključku čudi što naše institucije nisu ništa poduzele u 15 godina i što je Kurjak i dalje ugledni član hrvatske znanstvene zajednice. S obzirom da se ipak radi o BMJ-u i jednom britanskom lordu, a ne nečemu ili nekome tko se može sanirati jednim telefonskim pozivom, ovo je izazvalo strašnu buru u javnosti i prisililo Ministarstvo znanosti, obrazovanja i sporta (MZOS) da ipak pokrene nekakvu proceduru. Budući je Hrvatska Zakonom o znanstvenoj djelatnosti i visokom obrazovanju (ZZDVO) još 2004. godine stvorila platformu za osnivanje OEZVO-a kao nacionalnog tijela za etiku u znanosti, pritisak međunarodnog skandala potaknuo je izbor članova OEZVO-a koji je potvrđen u Hrvatskom saboru i tijelo je počelo s radom, de facto na predmetu Kurjak. Iz Hrvatske su odgovorili da je Kurjak ugledni član hrvatske akademske zajednice i da mole za malo takta u pristupu (FOTO: Novilist.hr) Tako dolazimo na najbolji dio: nakon što je OEZVO analizirao 247 Kurjakovih radova, potvrdio optužbe o plagijatima i otkrio dodatne brojne nove etičke propuste u ostalim publikacijama slavnog profesora medicine, MEF je odlučio da nema potrebe za sankcijama nad Kurjakom jer on odlazi u mirovinu, a zapravo je nastavilo suradnju s njegovim specijalističkim studijem ultrazvuka u Kataru.

Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines President Archbishop Socrates Villegas has called on the family of deposed tyrant Ferdinand Marcos to stop using the corpse of their patriarch to advance their ambitions. Opposing Marcos’ controversial burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, Villegas said what the late dictator needed were prayers and not honors. ADVERTISEMENT “Nananawagan ako sa pamilya ng yumaong Ferdinand Marcos. Huwag sanang gamitin ng mga buhay ang bangkay ng yumao para sa kani-kanilang pangarap at ambisyon. Sa katayuan ng yumaong Ferdinand Marcos hindi na niya kailangan ang parangal sa libingan. Ang kailangan niya ay dasal. Hindi madaragdagan ang kanyang kapayapaan sa kabilang buhay sa pamamagitan ng puntod sa Libingan ng mga Bayani,” Villegas said in a strongly worded speech during a prayer rally in Dagupan City last Wednesday. (I call on the Marcos family—that they may not use the dead to advance their interests and ambitions. Ferdinand Marcos doesn’t need funeral honors. What he needs are prayers. Burying him at the heroes’ cemetery will not bring him more peace.) “Ang pinakamahalagang parangal sa yumao ay hindi isang magandang puntod. Mas mahalaga ang panalangin kaysa sa marangyang libingan (The highest honor you can pay the dead is not a grandiose tombstone, but prayers),” he added. Villegas was a protégé of the late Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, who played an instrumental role in gathering Filipinos at the historic 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution that toppled the Marcos dictatorship. Alluding to the clandestine burial that sparked protests throughout the country, Villegas said true honors for the dead are being given and not demanded, adding that true heroes are recognized and declared by the people and not any cemetery. “Ang parangal sa yumao ay iginagawad nang kusa, hindi pinagpipilitang ibigay. Ang parangal sa yumao ay hinihintay na ipagkaloob hindi ipinaglalaban na makuha kahit ano ang mangyari. Ang tunay na marangal ay hindi natatakot sa liwanag ng katotohanan hindi nagtatago palihim. Ang parangal sa patay ay biyaya ng bayan hindi bunga ng labanan ng abugado. Ang parangal na pinilit ay mapakla. Ang parangal na ipinagpilitang makuha ay nakakasuka,” Villegas said. (True honor for the dead is accorded voluntarily. True honor is not afraid of the light of the truth. True honor is a nation’s gift to its heroes, not a product of a legal tussle. A forced honor is bitter.) The Lingayen-Dagupan archbishop also urged the Marcoses to ask for forgiveness for the sins committed by their patriarch and to return the family’s ill-gotten wealth to the government. The Marcos family allegedly stole $10 billion from public coffers during the late dictator’s two-decade regime. “Para sa mga pamilyang naiwanan, ang dapat gawin ay ihingi ng tawad ang kasalanan ng yumao. Lahat naman ng yumao ay nangangailangan ng kapatawaran. Ibalik ang ninakaw na mana. Iwasto ang pagkakamali. Ang awa ng Diyos ay naghihintay sa lahat ng taong mababang loob at nagsisisi,” Villegas said. ADVERTISEMENT (To the family, what they should do is to ask forgiveness for the sins of the deceased. All of the departed need forgiveness. Return the ill-gotten wealth. The mercy of God awaits those who are humble and repentant.) “Ang bayang nag-rarally ay handa namang magpatawad, bakit hindi? Subalit ang pagpapatawad ay hindi maaaring pagpapaubaya sa masama; hindi pagyakap sa pananakit at pandarambong. Ang pagbabayad pinsala sa masama; ang kabayaran

International Justiz DJ Avicii im Oman tot aufgefunden Rätsel um Tod von Star-DJ: Warum musste Avicii sterben? Der DJ und Producer Tim Bergling alias Avicii ist im Alter von 28 Jahren gestorben. Das berichten billboard.com und der "Rolling Stone" unter Berufung auf seine Managerin Diana Baron. Demnach befand sich der EDM-Star zum Zeitpunkt seines Todes in Oman. Seine Managerin sagte in einem Statement: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. He was found dead in Muscat, Oman, this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given." Swedish DJ Avicii Dies at 28 https://t.co/FTrARF0fea — Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) April 20, 2018 Musikerkollegen sowie Vertreter der schwedischen Regierung und des Königshauses würdigten den Verstorbenen. 2015 legte Avicii sogar bei der Hochzeitsfeier des schwedischen Prinzen Carl Philip und dessen Frau Sofia auf. "Wir haben ihn als Künstler und als wunderbarer Mensch, der er war, bewundert", erklärte das Paar. Schwedens Ministerpräsident Stefan Löfven nannte Avicii "einen der größten Namen der Musik in Schweden in der modernen Zeit". Der Sohn der prominenten schwedischen Schauspielerin Anki Linden war einer der ersten DJs, der es schaffte, mit elektronischer Tanzmusik in den Mainstream vorzudringen. Sein Lebenswerk Avicii zählt zu den erfolgreichsten DJs der Welt. 2012 und 2013 schaffte er es im Ranking des "DJ Magazine" jeweils auf den dritten Platz der besten DJs. Er arbeitete unter anderem mit Madonna, Coldplay und David Guetta zusammen. Einer seiner bekanntesten Songs war "The Nights". Video: YouTube/AviciiOfficialVEVO 2013 landete er mit "Wake me Up" auch in Deutschland einen Sommerhit. Es ist laut GfK der Song mit den zweitmeisten Downloads überhaupt in Deutschland. Avicii Künstlername stammt aus dem Sanskrit und geht auf den Buddhismus zurück. Das Wort Avici bezeichnet die tiefste Ebene der Hölle. Aus stilistischen Gründen fügte der Künstler ein zusätzliches "i" hinzu. Keine Tour mehr seit 2016 2016 hatte Avicii bekanntgegeben, aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr auf Tour gehen zu wollen. Dem "Hollywood Reporter" erklärte er damals seine Entscheidung in einem langen Interview. "Die Szene war einfach nichts für mich. Ich habe mir zu viel negative Energie aufgeladen." Er habe mit 16 angefangen, Musik zu machen, mit 18 sei er auf Tour gegangen. Von da an habe er 100 Prozent gegeben. "Für dieses Leben habe ich einen Preis gezahlt – viel Stress und viel Anspannung – aber es war die beste Reise meines Lebens." Dokumentation über seine Zeit in der Branche Erst vor kurzem hatte Netflix eine Doku ins Programm genommen, in der Avicii über seine schwere Zeit in der Branche spricht. "Ich bin an einen Punkt gekommen, an dem es einfach zu viel war", sagt er da. Freunde, Kün

Die USB 3.0 Promoter Group hat die nächste Etappe für die Universalschnittstelle USB angekündigt. Die Spezifikation USB 3.2 sieht einen Multi-Lane-Betrieb vor: Durch zwei Leitungen statt einer wird die Datenrate verdoppelt. Über bestehende USB-Typ-C-Kabel sollen so bis zu 20 Gbit/s (zweimal 10 Gb/s) brutto möglich werden. USB-Typ-C-Kabel seien von Anfang an für den Multi-Lane-Betrieb entworfen worden. Somit werden auf dieser Seite keine Änderungen nötig. Mit USB 3.2 lassen sich künftig zweimal 5 Gbit/s (USB 3.0 oder USB 3.1 Gen1) respektive zweimal 10 Gbit/s (USB 3.1 Gen2) übertragen – die Bandbreite steigt somit auf bis zu 10 Gbit/s und 20 Gbit/s an. Für die maximale Geschwindigkeit wird allerdings ein für SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps zertifiziertes Kabel mit dem Steckertyp C benötigt. Dann werden Transferraten von über 2 Gigabyte pro Sekunde möglich. USB-C-Kabel kompatibel, Geräte noch nicht Allerdings müssen zunächst sowohl das Host-System als auch das daran angeschlossene Gerät mit der neuen Spezifikation USB 3.2 umgehen können. Solche Produkte gibt es aber bisher nicht. Daher ist auch ausdrücklich die Rede von „neuen“ USB-3.2-Geräten und USB-3.2-Hosts. Aktuelle Mainboards mit USB 3.1 gehören demnach mit Erscheinen von USB 3.2 diesbezüglich bereits wieder zum „alten Eisen“. For users to obtain the full benefit of this performance increase, a new USB 3.2 host must be used with a new USB 3.2 device and the appropriate certified USB Type-C™ cable. USB 3.0 Promoter Group Wie von den bisherigen Generationen der USB-Schnittstelle gewohnt, wird eine Abwärtskompatibilität zu USB 3.0 und älteren Standards gewahrt. Für USB-Hubs werden Anpassungen nötig, da diese die Fähigkeit besitzen müssen, zwischen Single- und Multi-Lane-Betrieb umzuschalten. Key characteristics of the USB 3.2 solution include: Two-lane operation using existing USB Type-C cables Continued use of existing SuperSpeed USB physical layer data rates and encoding techniques Minor update to hub specification to address increased performance and assure seamless transitions between single and two-lane operation USB 3.0 Promoter Group Die Spezifikation USB 3.2 befinde sich derzeit in einer abschließenden Phase zur Prüfung des Entwurfs. Die offizielle Freigabe (formal Release) soll laut Plan rechtzeitig zu den USB Developer Days North America im September 2017 erfolgen. Richtlinien zur Vermarktung sollen erst nach Veröffentlichung der finalen Spezifikation festgelegt werden. Laut DigiTimes gehört ASMedia zu den Firmen, die bereits an der Entwicklung von USB-3.2-Produkten arbeiten. ASMedia stellt unter anderem USB-3.1-Controller für Mainboards her. Neue Versionsnummer kommt unerwartet Auf dem MWC 2017 hatte ComputerBase bereits aus erster Hand, nämlich vom USB-IF, die Pläne zur Beschleunigung von USB Typ C auf 20 Gbit/s erfahren. Damals h

Depuis leur création en 1999 et la sortie d’un jeu éponyme sur PC et Xbox en 2003, Yager s’est surtout fait remarquer par son Spec Ops : The Line en 2012. En 2015, Yager s’est vu retiré le projet Dead Island 2. Depuis, Isaac Ashdown, Rafal Fedro et Jan David Hassel sont partis du studio pour créer l’indépendant InBetweenGames. Ils nous présentent aujourd’hui leur premier jeu commercial à venir : All Walls Must Fall. Bonjour et merci à toute l’équipe de InBetweenGames pour cette interview. Vous avez plutôt bonne réputation dans l’industrie avec votre travail sur Spec Ops : The Line et maintenant, vous êtes un studio indépendant. Pourquoi ce choix? English Version Rafal: Thanks for the compliment! We decided to start our own studio mainly to take the fate in our own hands. Working for a AAA developer gave us a lot of professional experience and the confidence it brings with. It teaches you a work discipline, project planning, risk evaluation, time management and bunch of other useful traits. We learned how to make things happen and at the same time which common mistakes to avoid as well as the means of solving typical problems. At the same time AAA studios are unable to take creative risks without publisher approval. Complex organizational structures and long-term contracts don’t allow for a quick adaptation to the market and significantly slows down decision-making processes. Yes, usually it offers you a financial stability but you become a specialist in a narrow discipline. You are a lighting or a foliage artist, superhero cape animator, glass destruction guy, etc. The more time you invest into something – the better and more specialized you become and more unlikely you will be able to work on a variety of tasks out of your speciality. Personally I love to take care of different challenges. I want to build and place assets, draw concept art, create VFX, design and light levels, create and animate characters, make post-process FX, design and create mockups and assets for UI. In some of these fields I am better than in the others but ultimately what I crave for is variety. Co-founding an indie development studio gives me a creative freedom and cross-disciplinary professional self-development. It keeps me motivated, away from burning-out and boredom, inspired. Rafal : merci pour le compliment! Nous avons décidé de lancer ce studio pour prendre en main notre destin. Travailler en tant que développeur AAA nous a permis d’obtenir une grande expérience professionnelle et la confiance qui va avec. Cela nous a appris à travailler avec discipline, à gérer un projet, à évaluer les risques, à gérer notre temps et d’autres choses encore. Nous avons appris à mettre en place un projet et par la même occasion quelles sont les erreur à éviter ainsi que les moyens d’éviter les problèmes. En même temps les studios AAA sont incapables de prendre de réels risques créatifs sans l’accord de l’éditeur. Les structures complexes et les contrats à long terme ne permettant pas de s’adapter rapidement au marché et ralentissent de façon significative la prise de position créative. Alors oui, cela vous donne une certaine stabilité financière mais vous devenez alors spécialiste d’un domaine très particulier. Vous devenez responsable de l’éclairage, du feuillage, animateur de la cape d’un super héros, le gars responsable de la destruction des vitres, etc. Plus vous vous investissez en temps dans quelques chose, plus vous vous spécialisez et moins vous semblez capable de travailler sur une grande variété de tâches en dehors de votre spécialité. Personnellement j’adore m’occuper de plusieurs challenges. Je veux créer et placer des assets, dessiner des concept arts, cr

éer du VFX, concevoir et illuminer des niveaux, créer et animer des personnages, créer du Post-Process FX, concevoir des interfaces et des assets. Je suis meilleur dans certains de ces champs de compétences mais au final cela vous demande de sortir de votre spécialité. Co-fonder un studio de développement indépendant ma permis d’obtenir une liberté créative et de m’améliorer dans plusieurs disciplines. Cela me garde motivé, loin des burnouts et de l’ennui, cela me garde inspiré. Votre travail sur Dead Island 2 fut si douloureux pour que vous fassiez ce choix d’indépendance? English Version Isaac: Working on Dead Island 2 was a lot of fun! I joined YAGER to work on that project, when it began being in production. I really enjoyed working on a project in a large team of really great, talented people. But of course, getting cancelled and laid off was somewhat painful – although for me, it was the fourth time it’s happened in my career, so in many ways it’s just part of business. But the best thing about it was that it was actually a perfect time for us to become independant developers. Isaac : Travailler sur Dead Island 2 fut très amusant! J’ai rejoint YAGER pour travailler sur ce projet, quand il a commencé à entrer en production. J’ai réellement apprécié de travailler sur ce projet dans une grande équipe avec de talentueuses personnes. Mais évidemment, être annulé fut assez douloureux. Même si pour moi, ce fut la quatrième fois que cela arriva dans ma carrière, donc de plusieurs façons cela fait partie du Business. Mais la meilleure chose à ce propos c’est que ce fut le moment parfait pour nous de devenir des développeurs indépendant. Combien reste-t-il de membres du YAGER original dans InBetween Games? Qu’est-ce qui a changé? English Version David: Well we are only three people from YAGER that went on to found inbetweengames. The rest of the team at YAGER is still busy working on the Dreadnought closed beta right now or has taken on other challenges. The three of us have worked together before as a team under a significant amount of stress and pressure from the outside so this gives us an advantage over completely new formed teams. We know each other and how we will react when things stop being fun. We also have accomplished various goals before together and are used to a process of constant improvement on a professional level. At the same time running as an indie team of only three has its own challenges. There is nobody besides us to take care of anything so ultimately you have to be very flexible and adjust to whatever needs to be done. David : Et bien nous ne somme que trois personnes venant de YAGER au sein de InBetweenGames. Le reste de l’équipe de YAGER est toujours occupé à travailler sur la Beta Fermée de Dreadnought actuellement ou est sur d’autres défis. Nous avons nous trois travaillé ensemble au sein d’une même équipe auparavant avec son lot de stress et de pression en dehors, ce qui nous donne un avantage face à des équipes totalement nouvelles. Nous nous connaissons tous et savons comment réagir quand les choses cessent d’être amusantes. Nous avons aussi accompli plusieurs objectifs ensemble, auparavant et sommes habitués à toujours tenter de nous améliorer au niveau professionnel. En même temps, se lancer en tant qu’équipe indépendante à seulement trois personnages est un de nos challenges. Il n’y a personne d’autre que nous qui prendra soin de quoi que ce soit et au
6,494
final, il faut être très flexible et ajuster les besoins de tout le monde en fonction de ce qui doit être fait.. Vous avez créé un jeu à la Ludum Dare 33… English Version Isaac: It was the three of us that founded inbetweengames, plus two other friends who are still working there today, Daniel Nordlander and Bairbre Bent. But yeah, some other of our YAGERfriends have entered before, like the Maschinen-Mensch team who made Planet Corp. for Ludum Dare 29. Isaac : Nous l’avons créé tous les trois, entre fondateurs de InBetweenGames, en plus de deux autres amis : Daniel Nordlande et Bairbre Bent. Mais d’autres personnes de YAGER y ont participé auparavant, comme l’équipe Maschinen-Mensch qui a créé Planet Corp. au Ludum Dare 29. Créer un jeu Ludum Dare, après l’annulation de Dead Island 2, c’est un plan de comm’ ou juste du fun? English Version Isaac: After DI2 was cancelled and we realised several years of work would never be seen by the public, we really had a craving to just make something and put it out there. It was pretty great timing that there was a Ludum Dare weekend coming up just shortly after, so we put a team together and went for it, for the sheer joy of creation. But in the back of our mind, we thought that it could be the beginning of a new studio, and we had such a good time and people seemed to like the game we made well enough that using it to launch inbetweengames was the obvious next step. Isaac : Après que Dead Island 2 soit annulé et après avoir réalisé que tout le travail effectué ne serait jamais montré au public, nous avions une grande envie de créer quelque chose et de le rendre disponible. Le week-end de Ludum Dare fut un timing parfait puisqu’il arriva peu de temps après, nous avons donc réuni l’équipe et y sommes allés, pour la joie de créer. Mais au fond de nous, nous pensions bien que ce pouvait être le début d’un nouveau studio et nous avons tellement passé de bons moments et les gens ont semblé aimer le jeu que nous avions conçu que cela à servi à faire de l’ouverture d’InBetweenGames un prochain objectif évident. Ce jeu Ludum Dare se nomme The Mammoth : A Cave Painting. Pouvez-vous nous en dire davantage? English Version Rafal: We created The Mammoth as our submission for the Ludum Dare – an international game jam. For those not familiar with what it is – you make a video game in a very limited amount of time – for teams it’s 72 hours. Ludum Dare #33 was a final test for our dream about founding an indie development studio. We wanted to check if the chemistry between us is good, how well we work together as a team and under tight deadline. The theme for that game jam was “You are a monster”. During the first couple of hours of brainstorming we went through a bunch of ideas and basically we turned down the ones which we thought other teams will build a game around. I dug out an old sketch depicting a group of a cavemen hunting a mammoth and it clicked. Straight away it also imposed the visual style of the project – a cave painting. The other ideas came to us somewhat naturally while working on the game itself: a short story form about the bond between a mother and her children, helplessness facing a loss being a part of the the narrative and unanswered question – who the monster really is? Is it human? Is it a large and dangerous animal? Or maybe they are both just fighting for survival? We wanted to see how emotionally engaging experience we can create while employing quite simple methods, means. We wanted to evoke a feelings in players – make them amused, angry but mostly sad. Considering the amount of positive feedback we are still getting I would risk saying that we succeeded in our mission. Ultimately the biggest impact on the sad tone of The Mammoth came from the information about Dead Island 2 cancellation. We had learned about it just before Ludum

Dare. Rafal : Nous avons créé The Mammoth lors de notre participation au Ludum Dare, une Game Jam international. Pour ceux qui ne connaîtraient pas : vous y créez votre jeu vidéo en un temps très limité. Pour les équipes, c’est en 72 heures. Ludum Dare #33 fut notre test final concernant notre rêve de fonder un studio de développement indépendant. Nous cherchions à trouver si l’alchimie fonctionnait entre nous et comment nous étions capables de travailler en équipe en un temps très limité. Le thème de cette Game Jam fut “Vous êtes un monstre”. Pendant les premières heures de brainstorming, nous sommes passés par plusieurs idées et évidemment, nous avons éliminé celles qui risquaient d’être utilisées par les autres équipe qui créaient elles aussi un jeu. J’ai retrouvé un ancien dessin représentant un groupe d’hommes des cavernes chassant le mammouth et ça a été le déclic. Cela a tout de suite imposé le style visuel du projet : les peintures rupestres. Les autres idées sont venues naturellement pendant qu’on travaillait sur le jeu : une courte histoire racontant le lien entre une mère et son enfant, l’impuissance face au deuil étant une grande partie de la narration et de la question de fond : qui est réellement le monstre? Est-ce l’humain? Est-ce le gigantesque et dangereux animal? Ou peut-être est-ce que les deux se battent seulement pour survivre? Nous voulions voir à quel point nous pouvions proposer une expérience émotionnelle en utilisant des méthodes simples. Nous voulions amener des sentiments aux joueurs, les faire s’amuser, s’énerver mais aussi être attristés. En considérant le nombre de retours positifs que nous continuons à avoir, je me risquerais à dire que nous avons réussi notre mission. Au final, le plus grand impact qui a pesé sur l’aspect triste de The Mammoth venait de l’information comme quoi Dead Island était annulé. Nous l’avons appris juste avant le Ludum Dare. Votre nouveau jeu se nomme All Walls Must Fall. Quel est son scénario? Peut-on s’attendre à quelque chose de très engagé, politiquement? English Version David: The setting of the game is Berlin 2089 where the Cold War never ended. This is because somebody, at sometime invented time travel and in the alternative future of our game the super powers have used this technology to correct their biggest mistakes. The balance of power is thereby held indefinitely. But then one night in 2089 a rogue nuclear strike disturbs this perfect equilibrium and threatens to turn the Cold War hot and the world to ash. Players will command the time travelling secret agents that are sent back through one night of Berlin clubbing to find out who did it and how to stop them. So yeah we are definitely seeking out political topics and want to players to engage with them. We want to question preconceptions that might exist and further a discussion and dialogue. Ultimately it is up to the players to form their own opinions but if we think of games as art then this is also one of their functions to facilitate and stimulate that process. David : Le jeu se déroule à Berlin en 2098, où la Guerre Froide ne s’est jamais terminée. Cela parce que quelqu’un a inventé le voyage à travers le temps et dans le futur alternatif de notre jeu, les super puissances ont utilisé cette technologie pour corriger leurs pires erreurs. La balance du pouv
6,496
oir est ainsi maintenue de façon infinie. Mais une nuit de 2089, une attaque nucléaire vient chambouler cet équilibre et menace de rendre cette Guerre Froide “chaude” au point de réduire le monde en cendres. Les joueurs contrôleront des agents secrets du temps envoyés la nuit avant l’attaque pour trouver qui a fait cela et comment le stopper. Donc oui, nous avons définitivement l’envie de proposer des sujets politiques et nous voulons que les joueurs s’y engagent. Nous voulons remettre en questions les idées préconçues et amener à la discussion et au dialogue. Il appartiendra au final aux joueurs de se forger leurs propres opinions mais si nous pensons que les jeux sont un art, ils ont aussi cette fonction de faciliter et stimuler ce processus. Vous rendez-vous compte de l’impact qu’a eu Spec Ops : The Line auprès des joueurs et de l’industrie? English Version David: We worked on Spec Ops: The Line for a very long time. Overall it was five years for us so it felt somewhat aligned with the journey of Captain Martin Walker that just wouldn’t end and that took its toll as we went through it. I think you can feel that when you play the game and in a way it is what makes the scenario, the gameplay and the story coherent as everything is really in tune with each other and aligned towards the same common goal. So we hoped that we would make something worthwhile while working on it but the reality of the long term reaction is not something anybody expected I think. Also seeing nods to the game in other titles that have been released since then by studios and teams we admire is a great feeling. We’re very proud to have had the privilege to contribute in a small way to this apparently important game. While commercially it had mediocre sales and some people really didn’t like what we were doing the heartfelt reactions we still receive up until now speak volumes and also are what kept us going in the years since then when things didn’t turn out the way we hoped they would. David : Cela fait longtemps maintenant que nous avons travaillé sur Spec Ops : The Line. Ce fut environ cinq années totalement dédiées à l’aventure du Capitaine Martin Walker qui ne semblaient jamais vouloir se terminer et qui se sont finies en même temps qu’elle. Je pense que vous pouvez ressentir cela quand vous jouez au jeu et dans un sens c’est ce qui rend le scénario, le gameplay et l’histoire totalement cohérents entre-eux, alignés vers un même objectif. Nous espérions faire quelque chose “qui compte” en créant (le jeu, NDLR) mais la réalité des réactions à long terme est quelque chose auquel personne ne s’attend j’imagine. Aussi, voir quelques idées du jeu dans d’autres titres sortis depuis par d’autres studios et équipes de développement que nous admirons fut une belle sensation. Nous sommes très fiers d’avoir eu ce privilège de contribuer un peu à ce qui est apparemment un jeu important. En même temps, les ventes furent médiocres et certaines personnes n’ont pas vraiment aimé ce que nous avons réalisé. Les réactions sincères que nous recevons encore aujourd’hui ont pris de l’importance et ont contribué à nous motiver à continuer pendant toutes ces années où les choses ne se sont pas déroulées comme nous l’espérions. Retrouvera-t-on ce genre d’écriture dans All Walls Must Fall? English Version David: I hope that we
6,497
can marry the scenario, the gameplay and the narrative in a similar way at least. We tried it when we had just three days for Ludum Dare with The Mammoth: A Cave Painting and I think for us this is the way to go. Obviously in a small indie game the production value of the overall package is not the same as in AAA game development. But I think the feelings and experiences you can instill in players are just as worthwhile if not even more so. Being a small team means that we can take risks that big teams can’t afford to take. We can do things that don’t make obvious apparent sense. Things that are motivated more deeply by caring for the games we make and the players that we hope will experience them. To me this about making the players feel something and giving them room to fill in the blanks themselves. David : J’espère que nous allons pouvoir marier le scénario, le gameplay et la narration de la même façon. Nous avons déja essayé de le faire lorsque nous n’avions que trois jours de Ludum Dare avec The Mammoth : A Cave Painting et je pense que c’est le chemin à prendre. Evidemment dans un petit jeu indépendant la “production value” n’est pas la même que dans un développement de jeu AAA. Mais je pense que les sentiments et les expériences que vous pouvez proposer aux joueurs sont tout aussi intéressants, voir plus encore. Devenir une petite équipe signifie que nous pouvons prendre des risques que les grosses équipes ne peuvent pas prendre. Nous pouvons faite des choses qui ne semblent pas évidentes en apparence. Ce genre de choses motivées par le soin que l’on apporte aux jeux que l’on crée et par les joueurs qui, nous l’espérons, les expérimenterons. Pour moi il est question de faire ressentir quelque chose au joueur et de leur donner de la place pour remplir le vide par eux-mêmes. Pourquoi avoir choisir Berlin en 2089, en pleine Guerre Froide? English Version Isaac: Berlin is a really interesting city with a pretty unique history that hasn’t been tapped too much in games. But just setting the game during the “real” cold war of the 20th century didn’t quite fit out idea for the game as a tech-noir thriller. An alternate reality sci-fi future where the cold war never ended allows us to have a lot of leeway when it comes to creating an imaginary world, while still setting the game somewhere grounded and real. As for the exact year, well it’s conveniently 100 years after when the wall “really” fell, in 1989. Isaac : Berlin est une ville très intéressante avec une histoire assez unique qui n’a pas été très utilisée dans les jeux. Mais situer le jeu pendant la “vraie” Guerre Froide du 20ème siècle ne permettait pas de mettre en place l’idée d’un thriller tech-noir. Une réalité alternative, un futur de science-fiction où la Guerre Froide ne se serait jamais stoppée, nous permet d’avoir une grande marge de manœuvre lorsqu’il s’agit de créer un monde imaginaire. Tout en proposant un jeu très terre à terre et réaliste. Quant à la date exacte, c’est tout simplement 100 ans après la “réelle” chute du mur, en 1989. Quelles seront les originalités de gameplay? English Version Isaac: We’re taking a tried and tested gameplay genre, tile-based isometric tactics, and remixing it with the addition of time manipulation abilities. The mind-bending possibilities there are what we think are the most original aspects of the gameplay, but we hope that layering them on top of a fairly traditional set of mechanics make them intuitive for gamers. Isaac : Nous reprenons un genre de gameplay largement ép
6,498
rouvé, la tactique isométrique à base de tuiles et nous le remixons en y ajoutant des pouvoirs de manipulation du temps. Tout ce que cela implique d’originalité en terme de réflexion est sans doute l’aspect le plus original du gameplay, mais nous esperons que les couches “classiques” de mécaniques plus traditionnelles permettront au jeu d’être intuitif pour les joueurs. Dans votre communiqué, vous parlez d’actions “en rythme avec la musique”? English Version Isaac: All the actions you can have your agents perform in our game – from shooting, to moving, to opening doors – have the time they take measured in beats of the music. So when the game is paused, the music is paused. Then, you tell your agent to reload, which takes 4 beats: the game unpauses for 4 beats of the music, she reloads, then it pauses again. Both your actions and those of other characters work like this, so when they’re all played together they create a synesthetic audio-visual experience. Isaac : Toutes les actions que vous pouvez effectuer avec vos agents dans le jeu, tirer, bouger, ouvrir des portes, sont en rythme avec la musique. Quand le jeu se met en pause, la musique se met en pause. Si vous demandez à votre agent de recharger, cela prendre 4 notes : le jeu quitte la pause pour quatre notes de musiques, recharge, puis se remet en pause. Toutes vos actions et les autres personnages sont soumis au même fonctionnement et quand ils se jouent tous ensemble, cela crée une experience visuelle et audio très “synesthésique”. Les nuits de Berlin étant au coeur du jeu, on peut s’attendre à faire beaucoup de rencontres? English Version Rafal: We have couple of outlines written for the main NPCs but at the same time we are also wondering about having some random factor there. Maybe an NPC which liked you in the last playthrough hates you this time? Apart from actions taken by the players influencing NPCs’ approach to them we are considering to use as a reference real psychological profiles or personality types. Being quite tired of stereotypical video games characters we want to embrace Berlin with the diversity it has to offer. Create a believable and engaging experience for you. Rafal : Nous avons quelques lignes d’écrites pour les principaux PNJ mais aussi, nous voudrions avoir un certain facteur de hasard. Peut-être qu’un PNJ qui vous appréciait lors de votre précédente partie vous détestera cette fois-ci? En dehors des actions du joueur influançant l’approche des PNJ, nous aimerions utiliser des profils psychologiques réels et des types de personnalités pour chacun. Nous sommes assez épuisés de voir tant de stéréotypes dans les personnages de jeux vidéo et voudrions proposer une ville de Berlin avec toute la diversité qu’elle peut offrir. Créer une réaliste et engageante expérience pour vous. Finalement quelles sont les principales inspirations du jeu? English Version David: The first inspiration for the game really is the city of Berlin itself. It is something that we all in the team share even though we come from different places and backgrounds. Which is fitting since the city is such a rich mirror of different influences and has had a quite unique role in the history and politics of the 20th century. We think that this offers the opportunity to reflect on current issues from a new and unique perspective that players maybe haven’t experienced before and that will open up both new questions and answers for them. At the same time we are also hugely inspired by games of the 90s PC wave like Syndicate, XCom, Fallout and Planescape to name a few. These games managed to convey so much with comparatively little that it feels like everything in them carries a lot more weight than in modern AAA games. I think you can also argue that they put

Den politiske ledelsen i Israel er åpenbart djupt frustrert over at Syria nå vinner krigen mot jihadistgruppene. Etter å ha vært en hemmelig aktør i krigen, framstår plutselig Israel som en direkte deltaker. 7. september angrep israelske fly et syrisk militæranlegg nær Misyaf i Hama-provinsen. Syrias regjering har protestert kraftig og har bedt FNs sikkerhetsråd om å handle mot Israels aggresjon. Det syriske nyhetsbyrået Sana skriver: Syria demanded UN Security Council to condemn the Israeli repeated aggressions on the country and take an immediate and decisive measure to halt them in accordance with its resolutions related to combating terrorism, warning of the catastrophic consequences of such attacks which complement the ISIS crimes and practices to escalate the situation and fuel the region and the world. Angrepet er også omtalt i Jerusalem Post: According to the reports, the attack was launched at 2:30 a.m. on targets located in central Syria, in the area of Hama, and also targeted several weapons convoys that were en route to Hezbollah strongholds in the area. The Syrian army charged later on Thursday morning that Israel killed two of its soldiers during the aerial attack. An IDF spokeswoman declined to comment on the reports, saying that the army does not comment on operational matters. Også Washington Post omtaler angrepet og føyer til: Israel has watched nervously in recent years as the tide of the Syrian civil war has shifted in favor of Assad and as Iran and Hezbollah have become increasingly entrenched on the other side of the border. In a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last month, Netanyahu said Israel was prepared to act alone to curb Iranian expansion in Syria. Israel has stoutly opposed a cease-fire in parts of Syria, brokered by the United States and Russia, on grounds that the pact does not do enough to keep Iran and its proxies away from Israel’s borders. Dette bekrefter vår analyse om at Israel frykter fred i Syria og at regimet i Tel Aviv nå er villig til å handle militært for å hindre yria i å ta full kontroll over eget område i allianse med Iran og Russland. Den israelske forsvarsanalytikeren Amos Harel sier til Haaretz at angrepet er et signal til USA og Russland om Israels misnøye med fredsprosessen. WP gjengir dette slik: The attack Thursday may be a signal to Russia and the United States that Israel wants its security interests taken into account, Amos Harel, an Israeli defense analyst, wrote in the newspaper Haaretz. Amid deep disgruntlement over the cease-fire in Syria, Israel is saying that “we’re capable of disrupting the process of a future settlement in Syria if you insist on leaving us out of the picture,” he wrote. The Duran gjengir en anonym israelsk uttalelse slik: «Jeg kan ikke sove etter seieren til den syriske armeen, Iran og Hezbollah i Øt-Syria. Det er umulig å være optimistisk over dette. Assad er i ferd med å vinne.» Dette handler om seieren over terroristene i Deir Ezzor, og i Israel ser man tydeligvis det også FN-utsending Staffan de Mistura sa: Intervensjonskrigen er tapt. Syria vinner. Og da velger altså Israel sjøl å gå direkte til angrep på militæranlegg i Syria. Kommentator Zvi Bar’el i Haaretz mener at det israelske angrepet kan bety at Israel har skutt seg sjøl i foten fordi det kan føre til at Russland de facto erklærer flyforbud for fremmede makter over Syria og at Iran får et påskudd til å forsterke sine posisjoner i Syria. Det israelske angrepet var uten tvil en ulovlig aggresjonshandling etter FN-pakten. Men det er nok liten grunn til å vent

semafor na čeličnoj konstrukciji iznad magistrale, kao da je na petlji kakve zagrebačke avenije, a ne kraj prašnjave dalmatinske plaže. Ne dakle na privatnom putu, na imanju nekog ekstravagantnog bogataša, nego na pravoj pravcatoj državnoj cesti. I ne pri tom na državnoj cesti u nekom dubokom, nenaseljenom ličkom ili slavonskom ofsajdu, već na Državnoj cesti D8, najprometnijoj od sviju državnih cesta u državi. I ne negdje na Državnoj cesti D8 kraj pustog Karlobaga ili u dalekim Konavlima, već u Dućama kraj Omiša, nasred najprometnije od sviju dionica najprometnije od sviju državnih cesta u državi, na mjestu gdje i bez semafora mili i gmiže sedamdeset hiljada automobila dnevno. Tu je, eto, lola podigao svoj privatni semafor. Na državnoj cesti. Za goste hotela. Ona dobrostojeća penzionerka iz Luksemburga s luftmadracem onda samo pritisne dugme, i kolona od Duća do Omiša čeka da stara grofica pređe cestu do svoje ležaljke na pijesku. A ugledni poduzetnik – recimo i to da se zove Andro Tomasović, jer velika bi šteta i nepravda bila da mu historija zaboravi ime – na sve to mrtav hladan kaže: „U hotelu trenutačno imam dvjesto pedeset gostiju i moja je dužnost da im omogućim siguran prijelaz preko ceste.“ I još kaže: „A i svi ostali građani mogu koristiti taj prijelaz.“ Svi ostali građani mogu koristiti taj prijelaz! Kako velikodušno i plemenito! To da „i svi ostali građani mogu koristiti“, od dobrih smo poduzetnika, hotelijera, koncesionara i ostalih filantropa čuli, istina, već stobroj puta. „Svakodnevno imamo veliki broj domaćih gostiju i svi su više nego dobrodošli“, izjavio je tako nekidan novinarima direktor – kako se to po novome na hrvatskom kaže – dizajnerskog boutique resorta Brown Beach House Hotel na Čiovu, preko puta Trogira: sve su mu se niz bradu cijedili stalaktiti slatkog meda dok je pokušavao sanirati štetu na ugledu svoga resorta, nastalu kad su resortni rmpalije s hotelske plaže izbacili jednu trogirsku urođenicu što se tu, pod smokvom koju je njen djed posadio prije sedamdeset pet godina, kupa cijeli svoj život. I „domaći gosti“ – valja zapamtiti i unijeti u leksikone taj divni neologizam za domoroce, „domaći gosti“ – „više su nego dobrodošli�

�, „i svi ostali građani mogu koristiti“, dobrodošli su, eto, koristiti i hotelsku plažu, i mul, i bazen, i parking, ali to da „svi ostali građani mogu koristiti“ i da su „više nego dobrodošli“ na jedan privatni pješački prijelaz sa semaforom na državnoj cesti, to je posve nova razina obijesti: na tu goletnu visoravan ljudska noga još kročila nije. Kročit će, međutim, koliko sutra, samo čekajte, navalit će „domaći gosti“ iz Duća i okolnih mjesta, doći će iz Jesenica i Tugara, iz cijelih Poljica doći će ljudi vidjeti to čudo neviđeno, pješački prijelaz preko cijele magistrale, sa semaforom u tri različite boje, kojega milošću omiškoga dobročinitelja Andre Tomasovića - dragi mu Bog podario zdravlja, pameti i novaca – mogu posve besplatno koristiti i „domaći“, koliko im duša hoće, preko magistrale pa natrag, gore-dolje, da se snimaju i govore po županiji kako ih Gazda Andro pušta da se šeću njegovom hotelskom zebrom. Svakakvih smo, eto, surovih nasrtaja u državno i intervencija u zajedničko vidjeli smo u ovih dvadeset sedam godina Takozvane Države Hrvatske, ali ovako drzak i razorno zorni primjer čak ni u Hrvatskoj nikad nije zabilježen. Pa ipak, nije to fascinantno. Fascinantno je kako u Republici Hrvatskoj i danas, nakon dvadeset sedam godina, ima naivnoga i glupoga svijeta kojega iznenadi privatni semafor na državnoj cesti. Ili privatna riva na gradskoj obali. Ili privatna marina na pomorskom dobru. Ili privatna plaža u nacionalnom parku. Privatno na državnom, privatno u javnom, privatno u zajedničkom. Svima je, recimo, poznat onaj urbani mit o Balkancu što je na obalama Ženevskog jezera krenuo bez ijednog papira dizati kuću, pa kako država Švicarska tako nešto uopće nije predvidjela zakonom, završio na psihijatriji. Ovdje su, međutim, za psihijatriju oni što se tome čude. Evo vam samo posljednji jedan primjer. Cijelu proteklu jesen, zimu i proljeće vozili smo se Rose i ja magistralom od Vruje do Zadvarja i natrag, hiljadu puta prošli smo taj put, i svih hiljadu puta skidali gospe i svece – dobro, to samo ja, jer Rose ne beštima – uglednom žeževičkom poduzetniku koji je mitskoj Vruji usred zaštićenog parka prirode udario zidati svoj luksuzni resort, pa niz djevičans

lies in me to commemorate the deeds of the foremost people of the world; and if in so vast a company of writers my own reputation should be obscure, my consolation would be the fame and greatness of these whose renown will throw mine into the shade. [...] What chiefly makes the study of history wholesome and profitable is this, that you behold the lessons of every kind of experience set forth as on a conspicuous monument; from these you may choose for yourself and for your own state what to imitate, from these mark for avoidance what is shameful in the conception and shameful in the result." [Livy, Ab Urbe Condita [27-9 B.C.]. In Kelley, op. cit., pp. 70-73]. Tacitus, Cornelius (A.D. 56-120). "I think it proper, however, before I commence my purposed work, to pass under review the condition of the capital, the temper of the armies, the attitude of the provinces, and the elements of weakness and strength which existed throughout the whole empire, that so we may become acquainted, not only with the vicissitudes and the issues of events, which are often matters of chance, but also with their relations and their causes." [Tacitus, Annals [Annales, ca. A.D. 96]. In Kelley, op. cit., p. 100]. Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430). "But even now it is manifest and clear that there are neither times future nor times past. Thus it is not properly said that there are three times, past, present, and future. Perhaps it might be said rightly that there are three times: a time present of things past; a time present of things present; and a time present of things future. For these three do coexist somehow in the soul, for otherwise I could not see them. The time present of things past is memory; the time present of things present is direct experience; the time present of things future is expectation. If we are allowed to speak of these things so, I see three times, and I grant that there are three. Let it still be said, then, as our misapplied custom has it: ‘There are three times, past, present, and future’. I shall not be troubled by it, nor argue, nor object– always provided that what is said is understood, so that neither the future nor the past is said to exist now. There are but few things about which we speak properly –and many more about which we speak improperly– though we understand one another’s meaning." [Augustine, Confessions [398]. Book XI, Chapter XX]. ***** "Further, when the past arrangements of men are recounted in historical narration, we must now consider history itself among those human institutions. For things which have now passed away and cannot be revoked must be considered to be in the order of time, whose Creator and Administrator is God. It is one thing to relate what has been done, but another to teach what should be done. History reports honestly and profitably what has been accomplished. On the other hand, books of the soothsayers and all similar writings endeavour to teach what should be done or heeded, with the presumption of an instructor and not with the reliability of a guide." [Augustine of Hippo, Christian Instruction [De doctrina christiana, 397-426]. In Kelley, op. cit., p. 148]. Cassiodorus (Flavius Magnus Aurelius, ca. 490-575). "On Christian Historians. In addition to the various writers of treatises, Christian studies also possess narrators of history, who, calm in their ecclesiastical gravity, recount the shifting movements of events and the unstable history of kingdoms with eloquent but very cautious splendour. Because they narrate ecclesiastical matters and describe changes with occur at various times, they must always of necessity instruct the minds of readers in heavenly affairs, since they strive to assign nothing to chance, nothing to the weak power of gods, as pagans have done, but to assign all things to the will of the Creator." [Cassiodorus, Divine and Human Letters [Institutiones Divinarum et Saecularium Litterarum, 543-555]. In Kelley, op. cit., p. 137]. 4. The Middle Ages Saint Isidore of Seville (ca. 570-636). "Grammas: On history. History is the narration of deeds [res gestae] by which things done in the past are known. In Greek history is derived from see [videre] or know [cognoscere]. According to the ancients, only those wrote history who participated in it, and they wrote only what they had seen. We apprehend by sight better than we learn by hearsay. For things which are seen may be described without exception. This task belongs to grammar, because whatever is worthy of memory must be written down. But

frightened away from vice. [...] But history is placed above all branches of knowledge in the highest rank of importance and needs the assistance of no tool, not even of letters, since by hearing alone, passed on from one to another, it may be given to posterity. [...] Of History, that is, the true narration of things, there are three different kinds: human, natural and divine. The first concerns man; the second, nature; the third, the Father of nature. One depicts the acts of man while leading his life in the midst of society. The second reveals causes hidden in nature and explains their development from earliest beginnings. The last records the strength and power of Almighty God and of the immortal souls, set apart from all else. In accordance with these divisions arise history’s three accepted manifestations –it is probable, inevitable, and holy– and the same number of virtues are associated with it, that is to say, prudence, knowledge, and faith. The first virtue distinguishes base from honorable; the second, true from false; the third, piety from impiety." [Jean Bodin, Method for the Easy Comprehension of History [Methodus ad facilem historiarum cognitionem, 1566]. In Kelley, op. cit., pp. 382-386]. Francis Bacon (1561-1626). "[The historian’s task was] to carry the mind in writing back into the past, and bring it into sympathy with antiquity; diligently to examine, freely and faithfully to report, and by the light of words to place as it were before the eyes, the revolutions of times, the characters of persons, the fluctuations of counsels, the courses and currents of actions, the bottoms of pretences, and the secrets of governments." [Spedding, J.; Ellis, R.L. and Heath, D.D., eds., The Works of Francis Bacon (14 vols., London, 1858-74), vol. IV, p. 7. In Haddock, op. cit., p. 27]. "Letters of Affaires from such as Manage them, or are privie to them, are of all others the best instructions for History, and to a diligent reader, the best Histories in themselves." [F. Bacon. The Advancement of Learning [1605], Bk II, 17 ro. In A. Grafton, op. cit., p. 95]. "Antiquities, or Remnants of History, are, as was said, tanquam Tabula Naufragi: when industrious persons, by an exact and scrupulous diligence and observation, out of Monuments, Names, Wordes, Proverbes, Traditions, Private Recordes, and Evidences, Fragments of stories, Passages of Books, that concerne not story, and the like, do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time" [F. Bacon. The Advancement of Learning [1605], II.2.3, 11 ro. In A. Grafton, op. cit., pp. 95-96]. René Descartes (1596-1650). "I thought by now that I have spent enough labour on the study of ancient languages, on the Reading of ancient authors, and on their histories and narratives. To live with men of an earlier age is like travelling in foreign hands. It is useful to know something of the manners of the other peoples in order to judge more impartially of our own, and not despise and ridicule whatever differs from them, like men who have never been outside their native country. But those who travel too long end by being strangers in their own homes, and those who study too curiously the actions of antiquity are ignorant of what is done among ourselves today. Moreover these narratives tell of things which cannot have happened as if they had really taken place, and thus invite us to attempt what is beyond out powers or to hope for what is beyond our fate. And even histories, true though they be, and neither exaggerating nor altering the value of things, become more worthy of a reader’s attention; hence the things which they describe never happened exactly as they describe them, and men who try to model their own acts upon them are prone to the madness of romantic paladins and meditate hyperbolical deeds." [Descartes. Paragraph on history in the first part of the Discourse on Method [Discourse de la méthode, 1637]. In Collingwood, op. cit., p. 59]. Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639). "Read the individual histories of all the nations, French, Spanish, German, British, and Ethiopian (for you will find this too) and Turkish and Moorish. You must receive the traditions of the New World from their inhabitants, for they lacked writing. Likewise what the Chinese, Japanese and Tartars, the inhabitants of Ceylon, Persia, India and
6,505
other nations record in writing or by memory of their origins and their deeds. Jesuits and voyagers have written much about this. But his should really be a task for kings, especially the Spanish one... Whatever the pretenders claim, universal history is not yet complete, but only partial" [Tommaso Campanella, Philosophia rationalis partes quinque juxta propria principia [1638]. In A. Grafton, op. cit., pp. 121-122]. Jean Mabillon (1623-1707). "Therefore, those who wish to learn the art of criticizing ancient documents must consider themselves experts only after careful and thorough preparation. For if it is difficult for someone without experience in this field to give an authoritative judgement about one single document, how much more arduous and dangerous will it be for him to judge all kinds of documents if he does not have at his guide that experience which cannot be acquired without long familiarity with documents of this kind?" [Jean Mabillon, On Diplomatics [De re diplomatica, 1681]. In Kelley, op. cit., p. 417]. Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (1627-17047). "This kind of universal history is to the history of every country and of every people what a world map is to particular maps. In a particular map you see all the details of a kingdom or a province as such. But a general map teaches you to place these parts of the world in their context; you see what Paris or the Ile-de-France is in the kingdom, what the kingdom is in Europe, and what Europe is in the world. In the same manner, particular histories show the sequences of events that have occurred in a nation in all their detail. Bur in order to understand everything, we must know what connection that history might have with others; and that can be done by a condensation in which we can perceive, as in one place, the entire sequence of time. […] But just as, to help our memory in the knowledge of places, we must retain certain principal towns around which to place the others according to their distance, so also, in the succession of centuries, we must have certain times marked by some great event to which we can relate all the rest. That is what we call an epoch, from a Greek word meaning to stop, because we stop there in order to consider, as from a resting place, all that has happened before or after, thus avoiding anachronisms, that is, the kind of error that confuses ages." [Bossuet, Discourse on Universal History [Discours sur l'histoire universelle, 1681]. In Kelley, op. cit., p. 426-427]. 6. The Enlightenment Bolingbroke, Henry Saint John (1678-1751). "A man must be as indifferent as I am to common censure or approbation, to avow a thorough contempt for the whole business of these learned lives. [...] All the systems of chronology and history, that we owe to the immense labours of a Scaliger, a Bochart, a Petavius, an Usher, and even a Marsham [had brought historical learning into disrepute. And no wonder.] [...] The same materials are common to them all; but these materials are few, and there is a moral impossibility that they should ever have mroe. They have combined these into every form that can be given to them; they have supposed, they have guessed, they have joined disjointed passages of different authors, and broken traditions of uncertain origin, of various peoples, and of centuries remote from one another as well as from our own. In short, that they might leave no liberty untaken, even a wild fantastical similitude of sound has served to prop up a system". [Bolingbroke, Henry Saint John, Lord Viscount. Letters on the Study and Use of History [London: Millar, 1752], 7. In A. Grafton, op. cit., pp. 251-252]. ***** "History is philosophy teaching by examples. [...] I doubt that this method of Bodin would conduct us in the same, or as bad, a way; would leave us no time for action, or would make us unfit for it. A huge common-place book, wherein all the remarkable sayings and facts that we find in history are to be registered, may enable a man to talk or write like Bodin, but will never make him a better man, nor enable him to promote, like an useful citiziten, the security, the peace, the welfare, or the grandeur of the community to which he belongs". [Bolingbroke, op. cit., pp. 14 and 57. In A. Grafton, op. cit., p. 252]. ***** "To converse with historians is to keep good company; many of them were excellent men, and

some day, the decay of productive power in the satiety of contentment with the goal attained. And yet this goal will only be temporary: the grandest system of civilization has its orbit, and may complete its course but not so the human race, to which, just when it seems to have reached its goal, the old task is ever set anew with a wider range and with a deeper meaning." [Mommsen, T. (2008). The History of Rome [Römische Geschichte, 1855-1856], Vol. 1. San Diego: Icon Classics, pp. 12-13]. Karl Marx (1818-1883). "In the social production of their existence, men inevitably enter into definite relations, which are independent of their will, namely relations of production appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure, and to which correspond definite forms of consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political, and intellectual life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness. At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or — this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms — with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development, of the productive forces, these relations turn into their fetters. Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the economic foundation lead, sooner or later, to the transformation of the whole, immense, superstructure." [Marx, K. A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy [Zur Kritik der politischen Ökonomie, 1859]. In Marx, K. (1992). Early Writings. London: Penguin Classics, p. 425]. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). "History lacks the fundamental characteristic of science, namely the subordination of the objects of consciousness; all it can do is to present a simple co-ordination of the facts it has registered. Hence there is no system in history as there is in the other sciences... The sciences, being systems of cognitions, speak always of kinds; history always on individuals. History, therefore, would be a science of individuals, which implies a self-contradiction." [Schopenhauer, A. Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (3rd edn., 1859), vol ii, pp. 499-509, Über Geschichte. In Collingwood, op. cit., p. 167]. Leopold von Ranke (1796-1886). "History has had assigned to it the office of judging the past and of instructing the account for the benefit of future ages. To show high offices the present work does not presume; it seeks only to show what actually happened [wie es eigentlich gewesen]." [Ranke, History of the Latin and Teutonic Nations [Geschichte der romanischen und germanischen Völker von 1494 bis 1514, 1824], p. vii. In Hughes-Warrington, M. (2007). Fifty Key Thinkers on History. London: Routledge, p. 294]. ***** "I see the time approaching when we shall base modern history, no longer on the reports even of contemporary historians, except insofar as they were in possession of personal and immediate knowledge of facts; and still less on work yet more remote from the source; but rather on the narrative of eyewitnesses, and on genuine and original documents." [Ranke, History of the Reformation in Germany [Deutsche Geschichte im Zeitalter der Reformation, 1845-47], I, X. In Hughes-Warrington, M., op. cit., p. 294]. ***** "Every act which is truly part of world history, which never consists solely of negation, but rather is able to engender in the fleeting present moment something for the future, includes within itself a full and immediate sense of its own indestructible value." [Ranke, Weltgeschichte [1886], IX, part 1. In Gadamer, H. G. (2006). Truth and Method. London: Continuum Publishing Group, p. 200]. ***** "Let us admit that history can never have the unity of a philosophical system; but it is not without inner coherence. Before us we see a range of successive events that condition one another. When I say ‘condition’ I do not mean with absolute necessity. Rather, the important thing is that human freedom is involved everywhere. The writing of history follows the scenes of freedom. This is its greatest attraction. But freedom involves

A militant attack, which killed eight civilians in the city of Beni, has sparked protests in DR Congo with angry locals targeting authorities and UN peacekeepers, accusing them of inaction and inability to curb violence. The mass protests were triggered by a Sunday raid on the north eastern city, believed to be carried out by Islamists from the so-called Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group. It is the latest tragedy in the persistent violence that has left over 2,000 people dead in the city alone over the last five years. Protesting the government’s lack of action, a crowd several hundred strong gathered near the local city hall. The demonstration promptly got violent, and the mob looted and torched the city hall.

ia că e o confruntare între Arlauskis și toți cei de la Rennes, fiindcă lituanianul a blocat șutul lui Del Castillo de la 11-12 metri. Francezii au avut aceeași cursivitate de ocazii uriașe pe care le-au avut cei de la CFR Cluj în Franța în prima repriză! ADN de campioni Dan Petrescu a citit perfect intențiile adversarilor, iar Julian Stephan a avut și el dreptate când a anunțat un fotbal ofensiv. CFR a scârțâit și fiindcă Omrani (56) n-a găsit cadrul porții oaspeților, având o "chiflă" dezonorantă pentru golgeterul campioanei României. Bine că a venit totuși în spate și a compensat cu devotament, blocând o altă acțiune periculoasă a echipei din Bretania. Ce e-n mână nu-i minciună, iar clujenii au părut că se bucură și de o remiză. Au ținut cu dinții de ea, scrâșnind la paradele în cascadă ale lui Arlauskis, care l-a blocat și pe Bourigeaud (77), chiar cu prețul unei accidentări. Și oficialii UEFA au fost impresionați de paradele portarului. Mamă, ce ocazie a avut Rondon (82)! Măcar a mai dat energie pentru final. Da, CFR este un miracol: după ce-a fost dominată, după ce a acceptat pumnii lui Rennes, inteligența și norocul lui Petrescu au fost răsplătite, iar nou intratul Rondon (87) a marcat splendid după centrarea de manual a lui Deac. Tot Rondon a făcut o boacănă, a intrat cu talpa și-a văzut direct roșu în primul minut al celor 6 de prelungiri. Clujenii s-au apărat mai eroic decât prevede fotbalul. Arlauskis a fost și kamikaze, a scos incredibil în prelungiri, având o evoluție perfectă. Și cu ajutorul lui Celtic la Roma, miroase a primăvară în noiembrie. CFR Cluj - Rennes 1-0 min 90+6. Final de meci. CFR Cluj - Rennes 1-0 min 90+3: Rennes a marcat, dar golul a fost anulat pentru henț, după ce Siebatcheu a trimis mingea cu mâna în poartă min 90: Rondon este eliminat după o intrare cu talpa.

SALVIAMO L'ARCHEOLOGIA ITALIANA Il Ministero dei Beni Culturali sta riformando radicalmente il sistema della tutela in Italia. Dopo 110 anni di esistenza vengono smantellate le Soprintendenze Archeologiche. La riforma è stata progettata in tempi estremamente rapidi, senza nessun confronto neanche con le strutture interne del Ministero stesso. Se sommata all'apparente scomparsa delle norme sull'Archeologia Preventiva dal nuovo Codice degli Appalti (in contrasto con la Convenzione Europea de La Valletta, la cui ratifica appare al momento un'operazione di facciata) essa porterebbe di fatto allo smantellamento della tutela del patrimonio archeologico italiano. Consapevoli comunque della necessità di semplificare e ottimizzare il sistema della tutela, invitiamo il Ministro a ritirare la proposta di decreto e ad aprire un confronto con i tecnici del settore coinvolgendo anche la comunità scientifica internazionale. I beni archeologici italiani sono Patrimonio dell'Umanità. ENG SAVE THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF ITALY! The Italian Ministery of Cultural Heritage is undertaking a radical reform of the legal system which protects the archeological monuments. After 110 years of activity the Archaeological Heritage Offices are being cancelled. The reform has been designed very quickly, without any debate inside the the Ministery itself. Furthermore, it seems that the rules concerning rescue archaeology are going to be eliminated from the new code of the public contracts (in opposition to the European Valletta Convention). All this would destroy the preservation system of the italian archaeological heritage. Aware of the need to enhance the saveguarding system we invite the Ministery to withdraw proposed decree and to open a discussion with the experts in the field by involving also the international scientific community. The archaeological heritage of Italy is world heritage! DEU RETTET DAS ARCHÄOLOGISCHE KULTURERBE ITALIENS! Das italienische Ministerium für Kulturgüter verfolgt eine radikale Reform des archäologischen Denkmalschutzes. 110 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung sollen die Archäologischen Denkmalämter abgeschafft werden. Die Reform ist innerhalb kürzester Zeit, ohne jegliche Debatte innerhalb des Ministeriums, geplant worden. Zudem gibt es konkrete Hinweise dafür, dass die Bestimmungen zur präventiven Archäologie aus dem neuen Gesetzeskodex der öffentlichen Aufträge gelöscht werden sollen (im Widerspruch zum europäischen Übereinkommen von La Valletta). All dies würde unweigerlich zur Abschaffung der Schutzmaßnahmen für die archäologischen Kulturgüter Italiens führen. Angesichts der Notwendigkeit, das System des archäologischen Denkmalschutzes zu verbessern, appellieren wir an den Minister den Gesetzesentwurf zurückzuziehen und eine Diskussion mit den Experten der Denkmalpflege in die Wege zu leiten, bei dem auch die internationale Fachwelt involviert werden soll. Das archäologischen Erbe Italiens ist Weltkulturerbe! FRA SAUVONS L'ARCHEOLOGIE EN ITALIE! Le Ministère Italien de la Culture est en train de réformer de manière radicale les démarches destinées à la sauvegarde des sites et des vestiges en Italie. Bientôt et après 110 ans depuis leur création, les Surintendances Archéologiques fermeront leurs portes

-on-chips!) #CrystalPic (fabulous and colourful crystal pictures) #AnalyticalChem (for analytical chemists and their instruments) Most of these categories are intentionally broad and they hopefully cover the majority of areas that #RealTimeChem encompasses. Therefore, to potentially win a prize in the awards all you have to do is tweet something within these categories using #RealTimeChem during the week. I’ll be keeping an eye on the hashtag and gathering up the best tweets with a summary of winners, published in C&EN. As mentioned there will be one winner per category and two honorable mentions as runners up (sadly no additional prizes are available for runners up). Prizes winners will be announced by C&EN on Friday 23rd November. Winners will be asked to provide name and address details via DM or email. Please note that mug prizes will be sent out during December/early January. The Great #RealTimeChem Cook Off (17th– 18th November) Now in its fourth glorious year, The Great #RealTimeChem Cook Off is back! It doesn’t get any more everyday than the chemistry of cooking. Once again, this year’s contest is sponsored by the @ChemPubSoc_Euro journals.* Five winners will receive a ChemPubSoc Europe package containing The competition only takes place on the weekend of #RealTimeChem Week. Feel free to cook something during the week, but the tweet must be shared on the weekend of November 17th-18th to count. All you have to do to enter the competition is to tweet your culinary creation (anything cooking, baking or food related) and include #RealTimeChem #whatscooking & @ChemPubSoc_Euro at the end of your tweet. Your tweet should include a picture or video of your creation and ideally have a short description (the description can even talk about the chemistry in your cooking! It’s up to you). Alternatively, you can write/link a recipe for others to try. Everyone who tweets a cooking-related post using these hashtags will be entered into the competition, and 5 favourites will win a prize. Good luck and have fun cooking (also eating)!

However, the way in which we communicate to different audiences can vary enormously. Until now, the #RealTimeChem community facilitates communication between chemists, but this year we want to broaden our horizons. We would like to bring chemists into the limelight by showcasing our day-to-day activities to a public audience. We would like you to either write a tweet or tweet a short video to describe the current chemistry that you are doing (hint – it does not have to be front-line research!). You should aim to use non-technical terms where possible and keep the message simple. Remember, we are trying to broaden our horizons and not exclude people. Once you have your tweet ready to send, make sure to include #Chem4Life and one of the below hashtags, depending on the day of the week. It is important to include non-chemistry hashtags to ensure that we reach a larger audience. The best tweets which get the most public engagement will have the chance of winning a prize provided by this competition’s sponsor open access publisher Hindawi. The additional hashtags to use: #MondayMotivation #TuesdayThoughts #WednesdayWisdom #ThursdayThoughts #FridayFeeling #SaturdayMotivation #SundayMorning There is a prize on offer for the winner (no runners up in this instance), which is a Samsung Tablet kindly provided by Hindawi.

old Nasm has a flat binary output format, which will serve us well. All we need now is the image of an empty ELF executable, which we can fill in with our program. Our program, and nothing else. We can look at the ELF specification, and /usr/include/linux/elf.h, and executables created by the standard tools, to figure out what our empty ELF executable should look like. But, if you're the impatient type, you can just use the one I've supplied here: BITS 32 org 0x08048000 ehdr: ; Elf32_Ehdr db 0x7F, "ELF", 1, 1, 1 ; e_ident times 9 db 0 dw 2 ; e_type dw 3 ; e_machine dd 1 ; e_version dd _start ; e_entry dd phdr - $$ ; e_phoff dd 0 ; e_shoff dd 0 ; e_flags dw ehdrsize ; e_ehsize dw phdrsize ; e_phentsize dw 1 ; e_phnum dw 0 ; e_shentsize dw 0 ; e_shnum dw 0 ; e_shstrndx ehdrsize equ $ - ehdr phdr: ; Elf32_Phdr dd 1 ; p_type dd 0 ; p_offset dd $$ ; p_vaddr dd $$ ; p_paddr dd filesize ; p_filesz dd filesize ; p_memsz dd 5 ; p_flags dd 0x1000 ; p_align phdrsize equ $ - phdr _start: ; your program here filesize equ $ - $$ This image contains an ELF header, identifying the file as an Intel 386 executable, with no section header table and a program header table containing one entry. Said entry instructs the program loader to load the entire file into memory (it's normal behavior for a program to include its ELF header and program header table in its memory image) starting at memory address 0x08048000 (which is the default address for executables to load), and to begin executing the code at _start, which appears immediately after the program header table. No.data segment, no.bss segment, no commentary -- nothing but the bare necessities. So, let's add in our little program: ; tiny.asm org 0x08048000 ; ; (as above) ; _start: mov bl, 42 xor eax, eax inc eax int 0x80 filesize equ $ - $$ and try it out: $ nasm -f bin -o a.out tiny.asm $ chmod +x a.out $./a.out ; echo $? 42 We have just created an executable completely from scratch. How about that? And now, take a look at its size: $ wc -c a.out 91 a.out Ninety-one bytes. Less than one-fourth the size of our previous attempt, and less than one-fortieth the size of our first! What's more, this time we can account for every last byte. We know exactly what's in the executable, and why it needs to be there. This is, finally, the limit. We can't get any smaller than this. Or can we? Well, if you actually stopped to read the ELF specification, you might have noticed a couple of facts. 1) The different parts of an ELF file are permitted to be located anywhere (except the ELF header, which must be at the top of the file), and they can even overlap each other. 2) Some of the fields in the headers aren't actually used. In particular, I'm thinking of those nine bytes of zeros at the end of the 16-byte identification field. They are pure padding, to make room for future expansion of the ELF standard. So the OS shouldn't care at all what's in there. And we're already loading everything into memory anyway, and our program is only seven bytes long.... Can we put our code inside the ELF header itself? Why not? ; tiny.asm BITS 32 org 0x08048000 ehdr: ; Elf32_Ehdr db 0x7F, "ELF" ; e_ident db 1, 1, 1, 0 _start: mov bl, 42 xor eax, eax inc eax int 0x80 db 0 dw 2 ; e_type dw 3 ; e_machine dd 1 ; e_version dd _start ; e_entry dd phdr - $$ ; e_phoff dd 0 ; e_shoff dd 0 ; e_flags dw ehdrsize ; e_ehsize dw phdrsize ; e_phentsize dw 1 ; e_ph

#NAT MZ: 00;11;20;06 people are wondering, why this gentle teacher/ustaz, was willing to partake in jihad in Syria, and was willing to leave his wife and children. PST: In rural northern Malaysia, students are urged to follow the path of their teacher. Di perkampungan utara Malaysia, murid-murid diingatkan untuk mengikut haluan ustaz mereka. 00;18;47;25 We as his students, we should follow the footsteps of our teacher Mohd Lotfi. 00;19;02;11 The lesson comes from his brother, Mohd Zainon, a religious preacher, and it seems to be working. Khutbah ini diberikan oleh Ustaz Mohd Zainon, abang kepada Mohd Lotfi. Murid-muridnya tekun mendengar. QUOTE FROM STUDENT FOOTAGE OF LOTFI — INTRO In January, Mohd Lotfi went to Syria to join Ajnad al Sham, an Islamist rebel group seeking to overthrow President Bashar al Assad. Mohd Lotfi menyertai Ajnad al Sham di Syria Januari lalu. Kumpulan ini mahu menumbangkan Presiden Bashar al Assad. NAT — I strive for you, god. Zainon We need to understand that for this fight he left behind his relatives, wife and children, friends and his village. Friends, family, security. Why leave all that behind? Sahabat, keluarga dan keselesaan. Mengapa semua ini ditinggalkan? NAT - Lotfi — Allahuakbar. Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, a diverse, prosperous and democratic country. Many here enjoy comfortable lives. Islam adalah agama rasmi Malaysia, sebuah negara majmuk, kaya dan demokratik. Rakyat Malaysia hidup dengan selesa. [POP] The muslim majority practices a moderate form of Sunni Islam. But in the past year, officials say a growing number have embraced a more extreme ideology of jihadi salafism. Umat Islam di sini bermazhab Sunni dengan pemahaman sederhana. Namun, penguatkuasa mengatakan kebelakangan ini, ramai yang mulai mengikuti fahaman jihadi salafi. It’s what Lotfi and his followers ascribe to. Fahaman ini diikuti oleh Lotfi dan pengikut-pengikutnya. NAT — Village sounds, Dutch chicken It was here in the northern state of Kedah that Lotfi lived. Along with his brother, he founded and ran the Nurul Hidayah madrassa. Lotfi tinggal di Kedah, utara Semenanjung. Dia menubuhkan Madrasah Nurul Hidayah bersama abangnya. It’s conservative here. In each class, the boys are separated from the girls. Budayanya koservatif di sini. Pelajar lelaki dan perempuan diasingkan. The students here respect and admire Lotfi for his lifelong piety. Zainon says his brother studied sharia law in Pakistan and joined the mujahadeen in Afghanistan in the early nineties, before returning home to raise a family. Ahmad Salahuddin is his oldest son. Murid-murid disini menghormati kealiman Lotfi. Zainon berkata, adiknya menuntut ilmu shariah di Pakistan dan menyertai Mujahideen di Afghanistan pada tahun 90-an. Ahmad Salahuddin adalah anak sulung Lotfi. Ahmad: We were very serious with him. We hardly spoke. Even sitting next to him was tough. Dad was always away, delivering sermons. NAT — LOTFI TALKING ABOUT EVIL SHIAS, BASHAR AND MUJAHIDEEN In Syria, more than 100,000 people have been killed. Deeply troubled by what he saw as injustice towards Sunnis, Lotfi wanted to wage jihad against Shias and Assad’s army. Melihatkan kezaliman keatas penganut Sunni, Lotfi berikrar untuk menentang penganut Shia dan tentera Assad. Ahmad: When dad first said he wanted to go to Syria, I felt weird. Was he really going? On January 31, 2014, Lotfi said goodbye to his brother. Pada 31 Januari 2014, Lotfi meninggalkan abangnya. MZ: When the time came, I was sad because I knew he was going. MZ: We

hugged for a long time. Even his friend was puzzled as to why we were hugging for so long. NAT — Walking up steps — “This is where people are going to pray.” Even with Lotfi gone, the madrasa continues to thrive. With enrollment now topping 170, a new school is being built across the street from the old one. Madarasah ini terus berkembang dengan ketiadaan Lotfi. Dengan 170 pelajar, sebuah lagi bangunan sedang dibina. Lofti’s popularity enabled him to raise the funds for this construction. Kemasyhuran Lotfi membolehkannya mengumpul derma untuk bangunan ini. NAT MZ: 00;01;56;24 We are going to keep alive Ustaz Mohd Lotfi’s battle/struggle. 00;02;41;23 When he expressed desire to go to Syria, he was confident that this project would continue. AK: He has his own religious school in Kedah, so a lot of charisma. // So that’s the main attraction for people. So when they see Ustad Lofti there, they they want to go and join him. 00;16;42;20 Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay leads Malaysia’s counter terrorism task force and has been monitoring recruitment efforts of jihadis. Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay mengetuai usaha menghentikan keganasan dan telah mengawal usaha merekrut jihadi. AK: 00;09;16;13 Recruitment is carried out through facebook. There’s no need for you to have physical contact. // That’s why they managed to recruit 00;09;32;03 this members from various backgrounds. 00;09;35;04 student, professor, professional. In the past two years, officials have arrested more than 60 people and charged at least 23 for their involvement with Syrian militant groups. Sejak dua tahun lepas, penguatkuasa telah menahan lebih daripada 60 orang dan mendakwa sekurang-kurangnya 23 orang di atas penglibatan mereka dengan militan Syria. It is part of an effort to prevent others in the region from leaving. Ini merupakan sebahagian daripada usaha untuk mengelakkan lebih ramai orang daripada menjadi jihadi, seperti Lotfi. NAT — Syria AK: If we allow them to go to Syria. 00;22;40;10 they will have this networking there, contact with other groups, they will manage to get training there, how to make a bomb, how to make weapons 00;22;55;24 and the most important thing is in terms of ideology and come back. May_15_just_arrived.mp4 00:00:18:06 Ahmad: Ustaz, we are proud of that young Malaysians these days, a lot of them are now aware. Lofti: Here your friend on facebook is asking. “Salam Ustaz. Is my friend there in Syria? His name is Fadhlan Shahidi. Has Fadhlan arrived yet?” Let’s answer. TYPING AND SPEAKING. He is by my side. Ahmad: Why don’t you take a picture? Lotfi’s social media network connected him to his community back home. Nineteen-year-old Yusran Budiman is a follower. Lotfi berhubung dengan kampung halamannya melalui media sosial. Yusran Budiman juga sering mengikuti perkembangannya. SOT — Ever since Mohd Lotfi went to jihad, I’ve been getting photos and videos of him from his children and uploading them to Facebook. NAT — Video of Lotfi on Salahuddin’s phone For his family, Facebook and the mobile application, Whatsapp, provided a direct link to their father. Facebook dan Whatsapp juga membolehkan keluarga Lotfi berhubung dengannya. NAT — Salahuddin reading Whatsapp messages: Where is mom? Study hard and be patient. Listen to your mother. Don’t complain. SOT Salahuddin: 07:05 I felt quite sad actually, quite sorrowful, because we were thinking that he is soo far and this was the only way to speak to him. When we would send him a Whatsapp message, he didn’t always respond immediately. He was busy fighting or doing whatever. NAT — Tank rolling by. We see Lotfi. NAT — VIDEO — LOTFI Teacher, where are you going

A Nigerian refugee thought to have fled the terrorist group Boko Haram with his wife has died after being attacked by an “ultra” football fan in a small Italian town. Emmanuel Chidi Namdi, 36, died of injuries he sustained when a local man, who had reportedly been racially abusing Namdi’s wife, attacked him in the town of Fermo, in central Italy. Amedeo Mancini, 39, allegedly referred to the 24-year-old woman as a “monkey”, and attacked Namdi when he attempted to defend her, according to Italian media reports. Namdi fell into a coma and was pronounced dead on Wednesday. Some Italian news reports said friends of Mancini contended that he had to fight back because the Nigerian man tried to attack the Italian after his wife was insulted and dragged. Other witnesses said the husband was struck, first with a street sign ripped out of the pavement, then kicked, when he sought to defend his wife, but didn’t strike first. Police arrested Mancini, who has been described as an “ultra”, an extremist football fan. His lawyer, Francesco De Minicis, told the news agency Ansa that his client had not intended to kill the Nigerian. “Amedeo Mancini is destroyed with pain. He did not want to kill, and he expresses his closeness to those who are crying for Emmanuel,” De Minicis said. “My client did not expect that punching the migrant would have this effect, and he places the episode in a defensive context.” The killing has shocked Italy and prompted senior government figures to speak out against hate crime. On Thursday the prime minister, Matteo Renzi, posted on Twitter: “Today the government is in Fermo with Father Vinicio and local institutions in memory of Emmanuel. Against hate, racism and violence.” Il Governo oggi a Fermo con don Vinicio e le Istituzioni locali in memoria di #Emmanuel Contro l'odio, il razzismo e la violenza. — Matteo Renzi (@matteorenzi) July 7, 2016 Namdi and his wife, identified by her first name, Chimiary, were being hosted by Fermo town’s parish while they sought asylum. They are believed to have fled from Boko Haram and travelled through Niger and Libya before boarding a boat to Italy. Father Vinicio Albanesi, who was hosting the couple, said they had previously lost a two-year-old daughter, and that Namdi’s wife suffered a miscarriage during the journey to Italy. At an evening vigil on Wednesday, Chimiary cried out to her late husband: “Why do you leave me in this wicked world?” Refugees and migrants are hosted across Italy in centres run by the government or outsourced to private organisations and charities. Pope Francis has encouraged parishes to take in asylum seekers, and the Vatican has recently hosted a number of refugee families in Rome. Nigerians make up 12% of the more than 70,000 people who have arrived in Italy by sea so far this year, the second-largest group by nationality after Eritreans. The killing in Fermo prompted Italy’s interior minister, Angelino Alfano, to travel to the town to discuss public order and security. Alfano insisted that Italy as a whole welcomed refugees and migrants. “Italy isn’t represented by Amedeo Mancini,” he said. Laura Boldrini, the speaker in Italy’s lower house, said she felt dismay and indignation following the racist and xenophobic attack. “The hate that poisons our society will be acknowledged and not underestimated … Those who have political and institutional responsibility must distance themselves from messages of hate and not stoke them,” tweeted Boldrini, who worked for the UN’s refugee agency, UNHCR, before entering politics. L'odio che avvelena la nostra società va riconosciuto e non sottovalutato. Per questo ho costituito commissione parlamentare su #hatespeech — laura boldrini (@lauraboldrini) July 7, 2016 Her remarks point to Italy’s previous failures to stamp out racism in the highest realms of power. In September, lawmakers voted not to seek charges against a senator, Roberto Calderoli, who likened the country’s first black minister, Cécile Kyenge, to an orangutan. Formerly the country’s integration minister, Kyenge was subjected to an aggressive campaign by the far right during her term, including

At this point, the limelight’s way bigger being in L.A., so, you got to realize that there’s always eyes’ watching you, no matter what. But, at the same point, it can be a good thing too, because there’s so many celebrities and movie stars and singers, rappers, whatever it is; people that have multiple different fan bases here. So, you are not the only star here, as far as, if you go to a different city they might JUST have a basketball team, no football team, and you are the only fish in that fish bowl that everybody can see through. Bentley: Alright, well, let’s check out your second pic, “I Can Drive” by Lil Uzi, is it Lil Uzi Vert, or just Lil Uzi? Russell: Lil Uzi Vert. Bentley: Vert. Russell: Yeah. Bentley: Okay Song: Lil Uzi Vert – *I Can Drive* Bentley: It’s KCRW.com, I’m Jason Bentley. We are sitting with D’Angelo Russell here at the Laker’s practice facility, very exciting for me as a lifelong Laker fan. Is it intimidating for you to be in this environment where the expectations are just so high? Russell: It’s not intimidating. It’s definitely a challenge that not a lot of people are up to take, but I can only speak for myself, I know that I am definitely up for the challenge, definitely want to get on this wall one day. That’s a goal for me to set, you know, to get on this wall. You see so many greats and so much success on this wall, just walking around up and down the stairs, in the hallways, in the kitchen, wherever you’re at, you see so much success. Bentley: Alright, so your third selection for us of five, what do you have? Russell: I got Future. Future’s fan base has grown throughout the years, but this is something new, also. “Married to the Game”. A lot of these rappers, they are rapper singers, whatever it is, their titles kinda explain it all. It’s really self-explanatory. This one’s “Married to the Game”, and it’s just really talking about, once again, where he’s coming from and what he’s able to do now that he is where he is now. Bentley: Do you feel that way? Russell: Yeah, definitely, definitely. I feel like when you’re listening to music, it plays a part in what you’re going through, the type of music that you listen to. So, if you just had a break up or something, you go and listen to, I don’t know, Chris Brown or Trey Songz or even Drake, I don’t know. But, if you’re partying or ready to party, you listen to guys in that era, this one’s really a mellow song. Bentley: Describe for our audience who may not be familiar, Future’s style. You mentioned to me whether it’s rapping or singing, you know, it’s almost in between. Russell: You can’t really put a nail on it. He can be trying to sing a song and he might sound horrible, but it sounds good. It sounds so bad that it sounds good. Or he might be rapping, slurring all his words, you know. You don’t understand him, but he’s riding with the beat so that sounds cool, so I’m like cool with what he’s saying. He finds ways to get it done at the end of the day. Bentley: Someone described it as mumble rap. Russell: Yeah, but if you don’t know what he’s saying, then you go look at the lyrics and say, ‘Okay, I see what he’s saying.’ But, he still sounds right throughout the song.
