Will Trump Bungle Obama's Declassification Diplomacy? "Secret history is a powerful tool of diplomacy," said Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at the National Security Archive and director of its Chile Documentation Project. It is particularly so at a time when American hegemony is ebbing, and as the U.S. attempts to reckon with past actions that may continue to hurt diplomatic relations in the present. A lot, however, will depend on how Trump and his successors handle those efforts. The Obama administration placed a uniquely high value on historical accountability; Obama's executive order in January 2009 on declassification, which created a dedicated National Declassification Center (NDC) within the National Security Archive, was very first of his presidency. His administration showed conclusively how declassification can be a tool for diplomacy. Trump's approach to declassification, in contrast, remains a wild card. His administration "doesn't seem particularly concerned with past international human rights abuses," said Simpson. Meanwhile, thanks to Secretary of State Rex Tilleron's "corporate downsizing," the State Department is running on a skeleton crew. That means there's dramatically less potential for idiosyncratic projects from specialized personnel like Camilleri and Kornbluh. For now, the Trump administration is abiding by Obama's precedent. "The Argentina declassification project is still going on and the Trump administration did go ahead and deliver next tranche of documents to Argentina's president this year, which is a really positive sign," said Camilleri. "I was," he admitted, "a bit surprised." The State Department also quietly declassified another cache of files on Iran last June, less than two months after a recommendation to do so from the Historical Advisory Committee. And on the receivers" end, declassified diplomacy requires a foreign government that is willing to discuss a restive period in its history with a world power that aggravated it. For instance, the Chile project started, according to Camilleri, during a state visit in 2014, when Chile's ambassador to the U.S. broached the possibility of declassifying the Letelier files. That conversation led to the hard disk in Kerry's hand one year later. Today the files are displayed at an exhibit at Santiago's Museum of Memory and Human Rights. Even reticent Indonesia could become a cooperative partner, because bilateral dynamics can change quite fast: The Argentina effort was considered impossible just two years ago because "the old government was distinctly unhelpful," said Camilleri. The stars only aligned under Macri. If President Jokowi wins reelection in 2019 (thus relieving some political pressure against discussing the mass killings), he could be, as someone with a known interest in historical reconciliation, a potentially excellent partner in declassification diplomacy. "They're sprawling, complicated cases," said McMahon. "But we're in a much better place for declassification than we were just ten years ago. The fact is, the U.S. has gone much further than any other world power in surfacing covert actions from its past." The question is whether the State Department will consider this to be an asset or a liability. The coming revelations on Reagan-era interventions seem, on the surface, almost impossible to come to terms with gracefully. But very recent history shows that, even when dealing with devastating historical revelations, the U.S. still has a wide berth to earn diplomatic points. How declassified disclosures are shared may be just as important as what they contain.

Nedbank Golf Challenge: Sergio Garcia takes two-shot lead into Sunday at Sun City Sergio Garcia leads by two strokes going into the final round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge and is on course for a wire-to-wire win at the penultimate event of the European Tour season. Garcia improved his 1-shot overnight lead over Louis Oosthuizen, although the gap would have been bigger if not for a two-shot swing Oosthuizen's way on the final hole of the third round at Gary Player Country Club on Saturday. Garcia bogeyed No. 18 for the second straight round after sending his approach into the grandstand. He signed for a 1-under 71 and 10 under overall. Oosthuizen made birdie on the last to finish with a 72 and two off Garcia when he was four behind on the last tee. Louis Oosthuizen is two shots behind Garcia going into the final round (EPA) Thomas Detry, Mikko Korhonen and two-time Nedbank winner Lee Westwood are tied for third, three shots off the lead on 7 under. Ross Fisher is a further shot back. Garcia birdied his second and third holes but found it tough at the back end of his round again, with his wayward approach to the last green flying high into the rows of spectators up on the stands. Oosthuizen took advantage with just his second birdie of the day, although he benefited from a fortunate kick off the right fringe of the green to set up his birdie putt. Garcia is seeking a second straight win after triumphing at home at the Andalucia Valderrama Masters last month, and a victory by the Spaniard would be the second wire-to-wire success of the season after Eddie Pepperell at the British Masters. Garcia has won twice at Sun City, but the last of those two titles was in 2003. "I think if I can manage to shoot somewhere in the 60s, maybe 70 might be enough," said Garcia, who opened the tournament with an 8-under 64 before carding 71 and then 71 again on Saturday. "I'm going to see if I can shoot below 70 and see if that's good enough." Detry is in contention after the young Belgian produced another birdie-filled back nine as he picked up shots on four of his last six holes for his 68. Detry made six birdies on the back nine on Friday. Lee Westwood is an unlikely contender sitting just three shots behind Garcia (EPA) Westwood shot 69 for the second successive round on a course he enjoys and where he won back-to-back titles in 2010-11. Rory McIlroy is one of three players along with Li Haotong and Lucas Bjerregaard competing at Sun City who still have a chance of winning the Race to Dubai and ending the season as European No. 1, although their hopes appear to be slipping away. McIlroy, who needs a top-two finish in Sun City to stay in contention, was 10 shots behind. Li and Bjerregaard both need to win to have a chance at the season crown, but Li was 10 behind and Bjerregaard 14 shots off the pace. That makes it likely that next week's season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai will be a shootout between Race to Dubai leader Francesco Molinari and his Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood for Europe's top golfer of 2018.

Claims resolved with BP over Deepwater Horizon spill HOUSTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Justice Department announced Monday it reached a settlement with British energy company BP over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch in July said both parties reached an agreement in principle to settle civil claims for the spill. If agreed to, the estimated $18.7 billion would be the largest settlement of its kind in U.S. history. The U.S. Supreme Court, in one of the final decisions of the previous term, refused to hear two separate cases filed by BP and Anadarko Petroleum challenging fines related to the spill. The nation's highest court let stand a decision from a New Orleans court, which in June 2014 said the companies are liable for penalties under the Clean Water Act. The cases filed against the federal government by BP and Anadarko were Nos. 14-1217 and 14-1167, respectively. Anadarko held a minority stake in the Macondo well beneath the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana ruled last year that BP released 3.2 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, about 1 million barrels less than the government estimated. BP said in an early 2015 statement it suspected the penalty would be "at the lower end of the statutory range." The district court ruled in September that BP's activities at the Macondo well beneath the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico amounted to willful misconduct The spill left 11 rig workers dead. A cascading series of failures at the Macondo well resulted in the worst incident of its kind in the history of the industry. Related UPI Stories

Pizza deliveryman arrested at military base jailed again HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - An Ecuadorian pizza deliveryman who was held up as an example of zealous U.S. immigration enforcement has been arrested in a domestic violence case. A criminal complaint alleges that Pablo Villavicencio (vee-uh-vih-SEHN'-see-oh) pushed his wife against a wall, slapped her and grabbed her phone to keep her from calling police. It says the incident occurred Thursday at the couple's Hempstead, Long Island home. He was arraigned Saturday on a misdemeanor charge and remained jailed Monday afternoon. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Villavicencio was detained on June 1 after delivering pizza to the Fort Hamilton Army base in Brooklyn. He was seeking to establish legal residency and overcome a 2010 order to leave the country. The government declined to appeal the July decision freeing him.

Venezuela blocks off second bridge to Colombia as Guaidó flies to Brazil Venezuelan authorities have blockaded a second bridge to Colombia amid fresh skirmishes between protesters and security forces loyal to embattled leader Nicolás Maduro. The move came as opposition leader Juan Guaidó travelled to Brazil to shore up international pressure on Maduro following an inconclusive meeting of regional leaders in Colombia earlier this week. Early on Wednesday, two shipping containers were positioned across the Simón Bolívar bridge, a major pedestrian crossing between the two countries, following days of sporadic violence. The bridge was the focus of a failed weekend attempt to bring US food aid into the country as part of opposition leader Juan Guaidó"s campaign campaign to force Maduro from power. Dozens were injured on Saturday as anti-government protestors clashed with Venezuela's national guard and pro-Maduro gangs at the bridge and another crossing near near the Colombian city Cúcuta. In circumstances that remain unclear, at least two trucks carrying the aid caught fire during the violence. Footage broadcast on Colombian television on Wednesday showed a burned-out truck bed in front of the shipping containers, which had been positioned overnight across the Simón Bolívar bridge. Last month, Venezuelan authorities barricaded the nearby Tienditas bridge with two containers and an oil truck. That bridge was finished in 2016 but never inaugurated. The Colombian border has been closed to most vehicles since 2015 following a string of disputes between the two countries, and on Saturday Maduro closed all Venezuela's borders. Colombia closed four crossings from its side on Saturday evening, reopening them on Monday afternoon. Saturday's aid effort was intended to weaken Maduro by triggering a flood of military defections. That did not happen, but Colombian migration authorities reported that around 250 military officials have crossed the border, joining a steady stream of Venezuelan refugees leaving the country via unpoliced routes. After Saturday's violence, Guaidó - who has been recognized as Venezuela's rightful president by the US and fifty other countries - travelled to Bogotá and met with the US vice-president Mike Pence and Latin American leaders. Guaidó, who was officially barred from travel, was set to arrive in Brazil late on Wednesday for a meeting with the far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, an outspoken opponent of Maduro. Maduro's vice-president, Delcy Rodríguez, will travel to Moscow for talks with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday. Russia has been among Maduro's staunchest allies during the crisis. Meanwhile, unrest continued near Venezuela's eastern border with Brazil after violence that left at least three people dead and dozens injured over the weekend. On Tuesday morning, soldiers took control of an airport in the town of Santa Elena de Uairén, which was the focus of clashes between Venezuelan soldiers and indigenous protesters. Witnesses say they were attempting to travel to Maurak, where members of the Pémon indigenous community had captured 30 soldiers on Saturday.

Taylor Swift calls out GEORGE SOROS for investing into her music "without consent" - RT USA News In a one-two combo, pop megastar Taylor Swift has attacked billionaire liberal financier George Soros and "toxic male privilege" in the music industry, claiming that Soros got his hands on her back catalog without her consent. In a speech following her acceptance of the Billboard Woman of the Decade award on Thursday, Swift reignited her feud with investor Scooter Braun, who bought up Swift's original record label - Big Machine Label Group - in a $300 million deal earlier this summer. "After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I'm told was funded by the Soros family, 23 Capital and the Carlyle Group," Swift told the Los Angeles crowd. "This just happened to me without my approval, consultation or consent," she said, blasting the "unregulated world of private equity coming in and buying our music as if it's real estate, as if it's an app or a shoe line." 23 Capital is a financing firm backed by Soros Fund Management. Soros also invested $100 million in the Carlyle Group in 1993. Also on rt.com Trump is bad: Taylor Swift has a 'brave' 'political awakening' Soros has funded a range of feminist and gender-related causes around the world, but the acquisition of her back catalog without consulting her, Swift said, is "the definition of toxic male privilege in our industry." Soros" involvement in the multimillion dollar deal is unclear. It is also unclear why Swift would go after a man held in such high regard by her liberal peers. Soros funds Democratic politicians, judges, and district attorneys in the US, and bankrolls pro-immigration and open-borders causes in his native Europe. Swift, after being hounded by critics for remaining apolitical, emerged as a full-fledged liberal last year. Since endorsing two Democratic candidates in the 2018 midterms, Swift has attacked President Donald Trump for his supposed autocratic impulses, and vowed to "do everything I can" to stop him being reelected next year. Soros shares Swift's goals. However, their shared political beliefs evidently mattered less once Swift realized that Soros apparently loves cold, hard cash more than he loves his ideological bedfellows.

I don't have the time to find out how to do this, but it doesn't seem to be necessary anyway. See below. Thanks for the suggestion! Hans Adler
This works: Modular (the lower image on the right). I have simply reloaded the saved file (without the commas). Please nominate it for deletion from Commons when it's no longer useful. Perhaps uploading a new version of the original file with no change (or a trivial change) will fix the problem. Certes (talk)
OK, I think I am beginning to understand part of what happened. If I select "view page source" with your new file I don't get the commas. While I don't understand how the difference is even possible unless Firefox re-downloads the file when I save it, it indicates that the server is maintaining two versions of the file: The original, uploaded one, and a second version with the silly commas. Now if there are ungrammatical commas in the y coordinate, it makes sense that it is simply set to 0, and that seems to be exactly what happened: The letters have no descenders and appear with baseline y=0, so for some image dimensions they are completely invisible, and for some you can see the lowest line. The sizes and x positions seem to be fine. Thanks! So I will simply re-upload the images. But someone should seek out the server administrator who has run a faulty conversion script on the SVG files, and notify them. Otherwise they might use the same script again. And of course they should run another script to fix the problem. Unfortunately I don't know where to look for server admins. Hans Adler
For the benefit of anyone trying to debug this: This file should still be affected. I fixed the other by re-uploading. Hans Adler
OK, I think the mystery has been solved. It seems that I uploaded the file with the silly commas (I have no idea how that could happen), that Firefox tolerates them, that the server initially tolerated them, and that the server has become a bit more picky in the meantime. Thanks for your help. Hans Adler
== Freeware program for noise ==
I have recently submitted several images to be FP's and in almost every case they were opposed because of noise. Is there a good freeware program that can edit out image noise. I have downloaded GIMP and Inkscape but neither seems to quite do what I need it to do. I was thinking maybe there was an addin for one of these programs that would do the trick. == Wanna help, not sure how. ==
I've got a few images into better shape, but I am not sure how to put them on the pages. How do I replace the images that needed fixing with the fixed versions? Is there an easy way to simply upload it? B10Reaper (talk)
One way, you can upload over the original file by going to the description page on Wikimedia Commons (or simply here at Wikipedia if the file isn't at Commons) and click "Upload a new version". The more convenient way is by uploading the image as a separate file. ZooFari
Once you have the images uploaded, then just edit the page and replace the file name of the one image with the new one. You'll see something like nced graphists here would be welcome. Certes (talk)
With respect to the House of Representatives image, standard practice is to put the total number of seats in the well, instead of the name of the legislature, which is generally indicated by filename and image caption. 76.117.247.55 (talk)
Certes, I'm not familiar with standard practice regarding political houses, but the code in that first image is a work of art. ɹəəpıɔnı
To 76.117.247.55: I know little about US government, so I made the SVG convey the same information as the PNG. Feel free to improve the text, but you may want to mention the idea to Aricci526 first. Certes (talk)
To Lucideer: that's a huge compliment! I asked the original author and got a helpful reply which mentions a similar Inkscape SVG. I think the main problem is that someone else will need to update the image whenever the real world changes, and my effort is too easy to break using Inkscape or similar tools. How do other wikigraphists make future editing as painless as possible? Certes (talk)

Can I Start Again Please, Edinburgh Fringe review: A clever and cleverly constructed show Aptly, we seem to be in for a lecture on the failure of language (of the signed or spoken kind) to communicate individual human experience; there's much quoting of Wittgenstein - "whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent." But there's a darker subtext here, icily italicising their exploration of what can and cannot be said. Through occasional allusions, we realise the "speaker" is the victim of childhood sexual abuse. There's uneasy semantic overlap between the notion of the silenced, cowed victim, and the fact that true trauma is sometimes so deep it literally cannot be spoken. A formal, almost ritualistic staging has the women face dead out, slowly moving scrolls across their laps, and ringing bells. But even such precise movements may carry a multiplicity of meanings; at first I think the ringing is asking if meaning can be "clear as a bell." Later, they're surely alarms bells. This is a clever, and cleverly constructed, show. Go with brain engaged, ready to make meaning. To 30 Aug

Warning to Glasgow residents as free parking in city centre ends Free Sunday parking in Glasgow city centre has ended as part of efforts to help tackle congestion. Proposals to end the free parking were discussed in January and earlier this month it was announced that new regulations would come into force on Sunday, June 30. It means that a fee will be charged for parking in the city centre seven days a week, with the current charge for on-street parking set at £1 for 15 minutes for a maximum stay of two hours. Glasgow City Council has said the new measures will reduce the number of motorists parking in a bay for the whole day, which it claims stifles the availability of parking spaces and creates a build-up of traffic as drivers search for somewhere to leave their vehicles. As part of the new measures, a number of taxi ranks will be extended or introduced across the city centre. • READ MORE: Trader footfall fears as Glasgow council scraps free Sunday parking in city centre
Good vehicles will have a number of exemptions from the waiting and loading restrictions at a wide range of locations. Drivers have also been advised to check local signs to ensure they are complying with the new arrangements. Glasgow Chamber chief executive Stuart Patrick has raised concerns that the new measures could be damaging for businesses located in the city. He said: "We are concerned these charges will lead to shoppers being pushed out of the city centre and towards peripheral malls, which is worrying for traders and in contrast to our overall ambitions for retail and leisure in the city." A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: "This new range of measures is about tackling parking bay blocking in the city centre on a Sunday. "Many drivers currently park on the street on a Saturday night, leaving their vehicles unmoved until well into the next day. "Other motorists also take up spaces for long spells throughout the day on a Sunday. "The new regulations will make Sunday on-street parking more frequently available to shoppers, visitors, tourists, blue badge holders and residents alike."

Missing girl, 15, found alive after month-long search Police in Minnesota have arrested three men who they say kidnapped a 15-year-old girl from her home a month ago, held her in captivity and repeatedly assaulted her until she finally escaped on Tuesday. Jasmine Block was found injured but alive in rural Grant County, where she ended up after running away from her captors and swimming across a lake to freedom. The Alexandria Police Department announced on its Facebook page on Tuesday that Block, who had been missing since August 8, was located earlier that day about 40 miles from her home in Alexandria. During a press conference held on Wednesday afternoon, police revealed that they have arrested 32-year-old Thomas Barker; Steven Powers, 20, and Joshua Holby, 31, suspected of abducting Block and torturing her for 29 days. Following her rescue, the 15-year-old girl was taken to Douglas County Hospital to be treated for "minor injuries" and has since been reunited with her family. Safe return: Missing Minnesota teen Jasmine Block, 15 was found alive on September 5, after a month-long search Speaking to reporters on Wednesday afternoon, Alexandria Police Chief Rick Wyffels said suspect Thomas Barker was a family acquaintance of Block's and lured her into his car on the night of August 8 by pretending that he needed her help with a family emergency. Block agreed to help, got into his car and the two headed to the man's home in Carlos, police said, according to Minneapolis Star Tribune. Upon arrival, Wyffels said Barker restrained the girl's hands with zipties, repeatedly assaulted her and threatened her with weapons. Holby also assaulted the 15-year-old, as did Powers about two weeks into what the chief described as 'Jasmine's nightmare.' Last week, the trio of suspects drove Block to several different locations, including a cornfield and an unoccupied property in Grant County. Then on Tuesday, the men headed to a nearby town for lunch, leaving Block unattended for the first time since her abduction. The 15-year-old used the opportunity to escape. She tried knocking on several doors before swimming across a section of Thompson Lake, then continued on foot to a nearby community, where she flagged down a passerby and asked him to call 911. While she was sitting in the Good Samaritan's car, awaiting police to arrive, she spotted one of her alleged kidnappers drive by and alerted the man, who helped police track down that suspect, reported Voice of Alexandria. Block later assisted police in locating the other two men, and all three were taken into custody. Barker, Powers and Holby are currently being held in the county jail on probable cause for kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault. Block's safe return came a day after an anonymous donor added $5,000 to a $2,000 reward for information leading to her safe return. On Tuesday evening, Jasmine's mother, Sarah Block, shared a photo taken after she was reunited with her daughter. It shows the 15-year-old wrapped in a blue blanket, standing next to her mother with a slight smile on her face. Mrs Block also posted an update on a Facebook group dedicated to finding her daughter, saying Jasmine has been found and is safe. "Please be respectful I will not be answering any messages or calls and do not post rumors Jaz and I will not tolerate that," she wrote. In a follow-up post, Sarah Block thanked law enforcement officials for staying on top of the missing person case and even working on their days off to help bring her daughter home. Mrs Block reiterated her request for privacy, writing that their family had been apart for four weeks and need their space. "God answers prayers!" she said. "I am so damn proud of her [Jasmine] and so happy to have her home safe with us. Thank you all so much." Jasmine Block was last seen at her home in the 200 block of McKay Avenue North in Alexandria on August 8 at around 10.30pm. The 5-foot-1, 110-pound girl had spent the day boating with neighbors, but returned home with a migraine headache, reported NBC News. Her mother told Dateline last month that she saw her daughter laying on the couch in their mobile home before she went out that night. When she returned, the girl was no where to be found, but her cellphone was left behind. Jasmine was scheduled to start ninth grade at Alexandria Area High School on Tuesday.

In February 1958, the remaining dissident commanders in Central Sumatra (Colonel Ahmad Hussein) and North Sulawesi (Colonel Ventje Sumual) declared the PRRI-Permesta Movement aimed at overthrowing the Jakarta government. They were joined by many civilian politicians from the Masyumi Party, such as Sjafruddin Prawiranegara who were opposed to the growing influence of communists. Due to their anti-communist rhetoric, the rebels received money, weapons, and manpower from the CIA in a campaign known as Archipelago. This support ended when Allen Lawrence Pope, an American pilot, was shot down after a bombing raid on government-held Ambon in April 1958. In April 1958, the central government responded by launching airborne and seaborne military invasions on Padang and Manado, the rebel capitals. By the end of 1958, the rebels had been militarily defeated, and the last remaining rebel guerrilla bands surrendered in August 1961. =='Guided Democracy' and increasing autocracy==
The impressive military victories over the PRRI-Permesta rebels and the popular nationalisation of Dutch companies left Sukarno in a firm position. On 5 July 1959, Sukarno reinstated the 1945 constitution by presidential decree. It established a presidential system which he believed would make it easier to implement the principles of guided democracy. He called the system Manifesto Politik or Manipol—but it was actually government by decree. Sukarno envisioned an Indonesian-style socialist society, adherent to the principle of USDEK:
Undang-Undang Dasar '45 (Constitution of 1945)
Sosialisme Indonesia (Indonesian socialism)
Demokrasi Terpimpin (Guided Democracy)
Ekonomi Terpimpin (Commanded Economy). Kepribadian Indonesia (Indonesia's Identity)
In March 1960, Sukarno disbanded parliament and replaced it with a new parliament where half the members were appointed by the president (Dewan Perwakilan Rakjat – Gotong Rojong / DPR-GR). In September 1960, he established a Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (Madjelis Permusjawaratan Rakjat Sementara/MPRS) as the highest legislative authority according to the 1945 constitution. MPRS members consisted of members of DPR-GR and members of "functional groups" appointed by the president. With the backing of the military, Sukarno disbanded the Islamic party Masyumi and Sutan Sjahrir's party PSI, accusing them of involvement with PRRI-Permesta affair. The military arrested and imprisoned many of Sukarno's political opponents, from socialist Sjahrir to Islamic politicians Mohammad Natsir and Hamka. Using martial law powers, the government closed-down newspapers who were critical of Sukarno's policies. During this period, there were several assassination attempts on Sukarno's life. On 9 March 1960, Daniel Maukar, an Indonesian airforce lieutenant who sympathised with the Permesta rebellion, strafed the Merdeka Palace and Bogor Palace with his MiG-17 fighter jet, attempting to kill the president; he was not injured. In May 1962, Darul Islam agents shot at the president during Eid al-Adha prayers on the grounds of the palace. Sukarno again escaped injury. On the security front, the military started a series of effective campaigns which ended the long-festering Darul Islam rebellion in West Java (1962), Aceh (1962), and South Sulawesi (1965). Kartosuwirjo, the leader of Darul Islam, was captured and executed on September 1962. To counterbalance the power of the military, Sukarno started to rely on the support of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). In 1960, he declared his government to be based on Nasakom, a union of the three ideological strands present in Indonesian society: nasionalisme (nationalism), agama (religions), and komunisme (communism). Accordingly, Sukarno started admitting more communists into his government, while developing a strong relationship with the PKI chairman Dipa Nusantara Aidit. In order to increase Indonesia's prestige, Sukarno supported and won the bid for the 1962 Asian Games held in Jakarta. Many sporting facilities such as the Senayan sports complex (including the 100,000-seat Bung Karno Stadium) were built to accommodate the games. There was political tension when the Indonesians refused the entry of delegations from Israel and Taiwan.

Andrew Douglas "Drew" Busby (born 8 December 1947 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer who played for Third Lanark, Airdrieonians, Hearts, Toronto Blizzard and Morton. Busby also served Queen of the South as their player-manager. ==Career==
Busby started his senior career at Third Lanark, but the club went out of business in 1967 at the end of his first season. Drew scored Thirds' last ever goal in a 5–1 defeat at Boghead against Dumbarton on 28 April. Without a club, he dropped down to Junior level for three seasons, playing for his local side Vale of Leven. Busby returned to the senior game in 1970 with Airdrieonians. Known for his robust style of play, he formed a formidable attacking partnership with Drew Jarvie and scored 43 goals in 93 league games. With Airdrie facing relegation in 1973, Hearts manager Bobby Seith stepped in to sign Busby for a fee of £35,000. In six seasons at Tynecastle, Busby scored 84 goals in all competitions, played in the 1976 Scottish Cup Final and was popular with the Hearts support. Relegation for the second time in three seasons however forced the club to cut costs and Busby was released at the end of the 1978–79 campaign. Following two seasons in the NASL with the nascent Toronto Blizzard, Busby returned to Scotland and joined Morton (scoring on his league debut for the Greenock club) before becoming player-manager of Dumfries club Queen of the South in 1982. After two seasons with little success, Busby retired in 1984. Former players, Ted McMinn, Jimmy Robertson and George Cloy have all subsequently been interviewed by the club and spoken well of Busby. Crawford Boyd cited a difference of opinion with Busby as being behind his own departure from Queens. Busby is now the landlord of the Waverley Bar in Dumbarton. He published an autobiography in July 2013, "The Drew Busby Story". In May 2014 he was inducted into the Airdrieonians Hall Of Fame at the annual Player Of The Year Award Dinner. ==References==

Dog lead warning after swan attacks Image copyright Scottish SPCA Dog owners are being warned to keep their pets on leads around wildlife following a spate of attacks on swans. It comes after a swan was mauled at Straiton Pond Nature Reserve in Midlothian and another also had to be put down after being bitten at Victoria Park in Glasgow. The Scottish SPCA said the birds would have been in "immense pain" and warned owners to keep dogs under control. The animal charity is appealing for witnesses to the attacks. Animal welfare officer Aidan McIver said the charity was alerted to the injured male swan in Victoria Park in Glasgow on 24 May. He said: "A concerned member of the public had contacted us after finding the bird with significant puncture wounds under both wings and bleeding from the mouth. "He was also unable to walk on his right leg. The injuries were consistent with a dog attack. "The swan would have experienced immense pain and suffering due to the severity of the wounds. After seeking veterinary advice, the sad decision was made to put the swan to sleep."

None of this is to say that the white working-class voters who defined the 2016 cycle will be unimportant in 2018. The races for Senate seats and governor's mansions will often play out in the same white working-class battleground states that decided the 2016 election. There are a few competitive Republican-held districts in Iowa, New York and Maine with large numbers of white working-class voters. In a wave election, many more white working-class districts could come into play elsewhere. But elections are, well, decided by everyone. Dismissing well-educated, diverse and metropolitan America as the "bubble" in 2018 could prove to be as big a mistake as dismissing rural, white working-class America in 2016.

If you know some Turkic source about Molodi, feel free to contribute. It would be quite interesting. As far as there are no sources or studies from the Turkic side, there is no basis for doubting Russian numbers. Your subjective feeling is not enough. In Russian wiki the number of Russian troos - 25 000. And there are list of regiments with number of soldiers is presented. So i think this data is more referable than Turkish 60 000 taken from nowhere. Odysseos

John Stuart Mill: Doodles offer insight into philosopher's thought Image copyright Oxford University Scribbles, notes and drawings from the personal library of John Stuart Mill shed new light on one of Britain's great philosophers, say researchers. A team from Somerville College, Oxford, has scoured Mill's private library of nearly 1,700 volumes. Cataloguing the comments and symbols he made on the edges of books and pamphlets helps build a picture of the way his thinking developed, they say. Mill, also an MP and economist, is best known for his essay, On Liberty. He wrote in defence of the ethical theory of utilitarianism - the idea that actions are good if they benefit a majority of people - and has been described as the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the 19th Century. BBC History: John Stuart Mill BBC In Our Time: Mill BBC Great Lives: Mill "Having access to Mill's unvarnished reactions to his reading is as close as we will ever get to witnessing one of history's foremost minds in the process of thinking," said Dr Albert Pionke, a Victorian specialist from the University of Alabama, who is leading the research. One of the most striking sources in the collection is Mill's boyhood copy of Franco Burgersdijk's Institutionum Logicarum, a work of Aristotelian philosophy used as a textbook by university students well into the 18th Century. Image copyright Oxford University Image caption Mill's extensive library collection Mill was educated at home by his father, James, himself a philosopher and close friend of another highly influential figure in philosophy, Jeremy Bentham. The boy's copy is small, three by four inches, designed to fit into an overcoat pocket. It's in Latin, a language he had learned by the age of eight, along with Greek. In the margins are 500 numbers in the boy's handwriting. Dr Pionke believes this is a running index that Mill, then aged 12, had created, to help him answer his father's searching questions - an indication of his "pressure-filled childhood." "It's a meaty little book, 600 pages of dense text, all in Latin. It clearly took immense amounts of work." There are also a handful of more childish-looking doodles, including a triangle and a fan-shaped squiggle - suggesting perhaps that even this brilliant child scholar had moments of distraction. The Somerville collection includes works by Mill's contemporaries, who were also sometimes friends. Image copyright Oxford University Image caption A handwritten note in de Tocqueville's book There is a copy of the influential, Democracy in America, by the French political scientist Alexis de Tocqueville, who inscribed volumes three and four - published in 1840 - "in friendship" to "John Mill." At the end of a chapter entitled, Some Reflections on American manners, Mill commented, in a handwritten note: "How is it possible for one confessedly ignorant of England to say what is, and what is not, really American in their manners?" De Tocqueville and Mill were close: Mill had enormous respect for his friend's ideas. According to Dr Pionke, many will be surprised at the tone of the handwritten commentary. The project is ambitious, cataloguing all the marginalia on a searchable website. Researchers have logged close to 10,000 marks so far and expect to find five times as many once they've been through the entire collection. Image copyright Oxford University Image caption Musical notes are among Mill's many doodles All the scrawls, doodles and drawings will be online. So far, the team have identified 104 types, most of them familiar, like brackets or asterisks, others harder to decode, like a doodle resembling women's bloomers. As their work continues, they hope to establish what each one means.

Storm Alberto to gatecrash Memorial Day Alberto slowed overnight. But the heaviest rain bands and strongest winds began coming ashore around 10 a.m. Monday in Panama City Beach. That should continue into the afternoon as the center of the storm gets closer to land, bringing with it the risk of flooding, storm surges and tornadoes. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the northern Gulf Coast from the Suwannee River to the Alabama-Florida border. The three states likely to bear the brunt of the storm have begun preparing states of emergency. Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued a declaration for all 67 counties in his state. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant authorized the use of the National Guard, his office said in a statement. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued a state of emergency for 40 counties, starting at 6 a.m. Sunday. Ivey activated the state's emergency operations center while the Alabama National Guard activated its high water evacuation teams. Flash flooding risk Western Cuba, the Florida Keys and southern Florida remain at risk of flooding and flash flooding Monday, the National Hurricane Center said in its 5 a.m. ET update, with the risk moving north with the storm. Alberto could bring isolated storm-totals of 20 to 25 inches of rain to central Cuba and up to 12 inches in areas of the Florida panhandle into much of Alabama and western Georgia, the NHC said. The Florida Keys and Florida peninsula could receive 10 inches of rain in some areas. "Heavy rainfall will lead to a significant risk of flash flooding across the Florida Panhandle, much of Alabama, and western Georgia through tonight, spreading northward into northern Georgia, the western Carolinas, and Tennessee on Tuesday," the NHC said. "Rains in Cuba could produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Flooding and flash flooding are possible in the southeast United States, including Florida," it said. Meantime a Storm Surge Watch is in effect for the Suwannee River to Mexico Beach, Florida. "The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the NHC said, with water potentially reaching 2 to 4 feet above ground if the peak surge occurs during high tide. Sustained winds The NHC said Alberto had maximum sustained winds of near 65 mph with higher gusts and that little change in strength is expected before the storm makes landfall on the northern Gulf Coast later Monday. Brief tornadoes are possible from northern Florida into central and southern Georgia, southern South Carolina and southeastern Alabama. "Alberto will likely become a subtropical depression tonight or early Tuesday and degenerate into a remnant low by Tuesday afternoon," the NHC said. Authorities in New Orleans urged residents and businesses to "get prepared and stay informed" about the storm. The main threat is from heavy rain that could lead to flooding, the city said, but also high winds and storm surge could cause problems. "I strongly encourage everyone to be safe and stay informed," Mayor LaToya Cantrell said in a statement. Hurricane season doesn't officially begin until June 1, but Alberto apparently missed the memo. The tropical system became a subtropical storm Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.

Liverpool FC news: Sheyi Ojo reveals Steven Gerrard was key to Rangers loan decision Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo has insisted Steven Gerrard was the key reason he moved to Rangers on loan as Ibrox chiefs rejected reports their manager had held talks with Derby. Reports on Tuesday claimed Derby had moved to lure the former Anfield captain back south. But the Rangers boss was instead busy making his fourth summer signing in the shape of Reds youngster Ojo as the Scottish club issued a hands-off warning. The Times claimed Gerrard, 39, had rejected an approach from the Rams regarding their managerial situation. Frank Lampard - a former England team-mate of Gerrard - is still the man in charge at Pride Park but has been linked with a return to Chelsea to take over from Maurizio Sarri. The Times report claimed Gerrard was contacted by Derby as the Sky Bet Championship outfit make contingency plans for Lampard's possible return to Stamford Bridge. (AFP/Getty Images/Filippo Monteforte) But Rangers hit back angrily at the claims, insisting Gerrard is going nowhere. A spokesman told Press Association Sport: "Let's get one or two things clear. "Our manager has not been approached and he remains one hundred per cent committed to the job he has here." Gerrard, whose side will host Derby at Ibrox in a pre-season friendly on July 28, signed a four-year deal when he made his move to Glasgow last summer and he led Rangers to the Europa League group stages and a second-placed finish in his first season in charge.

Liverpool FC via Getty Images He is already gearing up for the new campaign and has now raided his old club for the third time since joining Rangers to land Ojo on a year-long loan. The 21-year-old winger has been sent out on loan previously to Wigan, Wolves and Fulham but endured a frustrating stint in France with Reims last term. Now he is looking forward to kick-starting his career under Gerrard in the same way PFA Scotland young player of the year Ryan Kent managed to during his time in Glasgow last season. Read more He said: "The last two years I've not really had that consistent opportunity to play football. "When I heard Rangers were involved, I spoke to my representation, the gaffer Steven Gerrard and Liverpool as well and came to believe this was the right destination for me this season. "When I'm playing consistently and injury-free then everything goes well. I just haven't had that consistency. "With Rangers this season my aim is just to play how I've always played - freely and enjoy my football."

Spencer Stone, one of the passengers who overpowered the gunman who had an assault rifle on a high-speed train, gestures as he leaves the hospital of Lesquin, northern France, on Saturday, August 22. On August 21, a gunman opened fire on the train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, injuring two people before being tackled by several passengers. Stone, an off-duty member of the U.S. Air Force, was first to the gunman, who slashed him in the neck and almost sliced off his thumb with a box utter. Train attack thwarted in France From left: Anthony Sadler, from Pittsburg, California, Alek Skarlatos from Roseburg, Oregon, and British national Chris Norman -- who is living in France -- hold medals they received for stopping a gunman on a European train. Train attack thwarted in France Americans Alek Skarlatos (from left), Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler helped tackle a gunman aboard a high-speed train. Train attack thwarted in France An undated photo released by a social network shows the 25-year-old Moroccan suspect in Friday's shooting, named as Ayoub El Khazzani. He lived in (southern) Spain in Algeciras for a year, until 2014, then he decided to move to France. Once in France he went to Syria, then returned to France, according to a Spanish anti-terror source. Train attack thwarted in France The high-speed train was zipping from Amsterdam to Paris when a shirtless man emerged from the bathroom -- a rifle slung over his shoulder, witnesses said. A French passenger and three Americans -- a civilian, an Air Force member and a National Guard member -- jumped into action. They quickly tackled him, possibly averting a massacre aboard the train. This frame grab image shows the bound suspect. Train attack thwarted in France Police work on a platform next to a high-speed train in Arras, France, on Friday, August 21. Train attack thwarted in France Police inspect the crime scene inside the train. Train attack thwarted in France Police in protective suits stand on a platform next to the train. Train attack thwarted in France Crime investigators look into the window of the train. The indictment also includes a charge of possession and carrying of weapons. All the charges are under French terrorism law. But the suspect's lawyer told CNN affiliate BFMTV that her client denies he was trying to launch a terror attack. Instead, attorney Sophie David said, he boarded the train with the intention of robbing passengers. David has since said she no longer wants to speak to the media and has not returned CNN's calls. Molins said El Khazzani has invoked his right to remain silent after days of "evasive answers." CNN's Chad Weaver, Don Melvin, Margot Haddad, Faith Karimi and Catherine E. Shoichet contributed to this report.

When switching the system from "Auto" to "On," the front and rear axles are locked at a 50/50 split; the reaction time necessary to engage the rear wheels is reduced via an integrated bypass clutch. The Control Trac II system allows for a four-wheel drive vehicle without the use of a center differential. The entire braking system was built by Continental Teves, including the ABS and various related suspension components. CKD production began in 2002 at Ford Lio Ho Motor Co. in Taiwan for various Asian markets. One main difference between the Tribute and the Ford Escape is that the Tribute's suspension is tuned for a firmer ride than the Escape, in order to correspond with Mazda's sporty image. === Ford ===
2000–2004 (BA, ZA)
In North America, it slotted below the larger, truck-based Explorer in Ford's lineup, but was larger than the small SUV offerings from Honda and Toyota. Although it is technically a crossover vehicle, it is marketed by Ford as part of its traditional SUV lineup (Escape, Explorer, Expedition) rather than its separate crossover lineup (Edge, Flex). From 2001 to 2004, the Ford Escape was sold in Europe under the Maverick name, and replaced a rebadged version of the Nissan Mistral/Terrano II. Only two versions were made, the 2.0 L Zetec inline 4 engine with manual transmission and 3.0 L Duratec V6 with automatic transmission, both using gasoline as fuel. The absence of a diesel version did not help sales and the vehicle was temporarily discontinued in late 2003. However, the Maverick, in the UK for example, was only available in XLT trim. Plus, the dashboard was not the same as the US Escape; it was instead taken from the Mazda Tribute. The Maverick was reintroduced in 2005 in certain European markets with the Duratec V6 engine. It was announced that the Maverick would be assembled in Russia for the Russian market. As of 2006, the Maverick was no longer sold in Europe, leaving Ford without a compact SUV until the 2008 Ford Kuga was introduced. The Maverick was primarily designed for on-road use – sold with normal road tires, and to be used with front-wheel drive most of the time. Crash-test results for the Escape have been mixed. In the New Car Assessment Program administered by the USA-based National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the car received five out of five stars for driver protection and four out of five stars for passenger protection in a frontal impact. The SUV received five stars for both driver and rear passenger in the side impact test. In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal offset test, 2001–2004 Escapes received a score of "Marginal". In the side impact crash test, vehicles equipped with the optional side air bags received a score of "Good" in the, while those without the optional air bags received a score of "Poor". All Escapes are equipped with a passive 'Immobiliser' called SecuriLock. This feature includes an 'RFID' chip embedded in the key which is read by the car each time the vehicle is started. If the vehicle fails to receive a valid confirmation signal from the key, the vehicle will not run, even if the key is perfectly cut to match the original. Theft, injury, and collision losses reported to insurance companies for the Escape are among the lowest in its class. North America
In the United States, all Escapes included standard equipment such as power windows, power door locks, anti-lock braking system (ABS), keyless entry, a folding rear-bench seat, 16-inch wheels, and air conditioning. In addition, an Escape buyer could choose from one of several different trim levels that were available, which included:
XLS (2001–2007): As the most basic trim level of the Escape, the XLS included: the 2.0-liter Zetec (2001–2004) and the 2.3-liter DuraTec (2005–2007) engines, a five-speed manual transmission, 15-inch steel wheels, an AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD players (later, a six-disc, in-dash CD changer) and four speakers, high-back front bucket seats, and cloth-and-vinyl seating surfaces. Options include 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels, the 3.0-liter V6 engine (2001–2004), and a four-speed automatic transmission (some of which was available as the XLS Popular Group).

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Lassana Camará. Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! == Your recent edits ==
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've added information regarding whether players are right- or left-footed. Since this information is not directly relevant to the position field in the infobox, and it is also unsourced, I suggest you to find a consensus before doing such changes. If you think it might be a valuable addition, propose it at WPF instead. == June 2009 ==

Well yes, but I'm not sure how.—Blue-Haired Lawyer
== EU production of primary energy ==
"the euro instead of the Yugoslav dinar as official currency". Yes, their word,"official". Even Wikipedia's own article on the Euro manages to note that Montenegro uses the Euro as its sole currency without feeling the need to claim that it is only "unofficial". This should be totally uncontroversial. Please stop returning to this article the fabrication that Montenegro uses this currency only unofficially. It doesn't. The Euro is the official currency of Montenegro. Thank you. 87.254.80.49 (talk)
It is unofficial from the perspective of the European Union as there is no formal agreement concerning its use.—Blue-Haired Lawyer
Even assuming that it was appropriate to adopt the POV of the EU, I've cited sources for its official status. You haven't even cited anyone supporting your claim that the EU says otherwise. 87.254.80.49 (talk)
Let's not confuse the matter. The Euro is the official coin of the EU. Only EU countries are allowed to coin Euros (with some micro states as treaty agreed exceptions). Some other countries (again mainly microstates) have adopted the Euro after an official agreement with the ECB. However, I think anon 87.... has a point when he says that any country is free to adopt its own way of payin, being it local currency, gold, seashells or Euro's. Of course such a country cannot claim any influence in any decisions about the value of the Euro and cannot mint them but that something else entirely. It may also be that for international politicial agreements they are not allowed to mmake it their national currency; but I don't think official use of any currecncy when making no other claims about that currency can be disallowed. (maybe wrong there but would need to see a strong argument on that)
As it stands now the paragraph is however misleading:
The euro, and the monetary policies of those who have adopted it, are under the control of the European Central Bank (ECB). There are twelve other currencies used in the EU. [92
As it implies the Macedonian Montenegro monetary policy is under ECB control. It is not. Arnoutf (talk)
I agree with most of what you say. I'm not sure whether you meant Montenegro instead of Macedonia or if that bit went out of my depth. 87.254.80.49 (talk)
I'm not arguing that we need to say that the currency is official BTW, I don't think it's that important to this article, what I was objecting to was the statement that its use was unofficial - which was misleading at best. 87.254.80.49 (talk)
:Fair enough; I think my revision should clear up the problem (sorry for the typo, have been on holiday to Macedonia, so that popped up in my mind when typing) Arnoutf (talk)
::That looks good to me. Thank you for your time on this. 87.254.80.49 (talk)
== Nato citation non sense. ==
EU is not linked to Nato countries are did you write about Nato in EU presentation?You want to set Nato in a contest where officially isn't shared by all EU set Nato like salt in the kitchen,everywhere. A non sense mix. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.60.116.129 (talk)
Berlin Plus agreement
The fact of Nato has agreement with EU can't be set in the presentation of EU where the whole will is based only on all the states, also the neutral has agreements also with Russia,why don't you write also Russia there? A lot of isn't relevant in the presentation of EU (and in the treaties is under EU).The Nato sentence because of non sense must be 's ridiculous otherwise!If somebody replies make smile! I agree with's time to change the EU presentation about Nato mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EU 100% (talk • contribs)
This criticism is all quite vague. We mention NATO because otherwise we would be accused of ignoring it and/or pretending than European defence co-operation is solely dealt with under the EU umbrella. We also mention that there are neutral countries.

Two Milwaukee women wanted on suspicion of trafficking girls who spent time at shelter Arrest warrants were issued Tuesday for Kendra Bey, 27, and Samaria Williams, 23, who face charges of trafficking of a child and receiving compensation for trafficking. The criminal complaint says Bey met her two underage victims at the Milwaukee Academy. The facility treats girls who show a "pattern of behavioral and mental health symptoms," according to the academy's website. Bey was employed there as a youth worker for three months, beginning in late July 2015, according to David Fritsch, president of Clinicare Corp., which operates Milwaukee Academy. He said in a statement that Bey had passed a criminal background check before she started working there. She was fired for repeatedly missing work, he added. It was after the girls had left the facility and run away from their foster homes that they reconnected with Bey and Williams, who took them to Chicago, and Iowa and other states, forcing them into prostitution, according to the criminal complaint filed by a special agent with the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The girls, now 19 and 20 years old, told the investigator that they would each engage in sexual acts with men while they were teenagers and give the money to Bey or Williams. Many of the sexual encounters involved road trips, though some occurred in condominiums in Milwaukee, the document says. The older girl was provided a place to stay, clothes, food and money to get their nails and hair done, according to the complaint. The women also beat up the older girl, the victims told the state investigator. The alleged crimes occurred from about August 2014 to May 2017, the complaint says. CNN has reached out to the Wisconsin Department of Justice to get comment and more details about the case. CNN's Melissa Alonso, Natalie Johnson and Sheena Jones contributed to this report.

24 photographers capture the first 24 hours of the New Year for 24 years and the results are beautiful Twenty-four photographers are capturing the first 24 hours of the New Year every year for 24 years. So far, they have documented 13 years, with a London exhibition planned to celebrate passing the halfway point. At the end of the project, there will be 576 images to enjoy. The anniversary show will be curated by editorial, news and current affairs photographer Brian Harris, who has previously worked at The Independent and The Times. He praised a "challenging brief well executed" and thanked those involved for "opening my eyes to yet another way of seeing." 24:2016 photography exhibition 24:2016 photography exhibition

"Vital. Vital," is how the poet Gwendolyn Brooks began her lyrical preface to Etheridge Knight's first pamphlet of poems, "Poems From Prison." Vital meaning living, and meaning necessary. With a similar double-edged vitality, "To Float in the Space Between" drifts into a growing chorus of autobiographical writings - including such recent books as Yrsa Daley-Ward's "The Terrible," Darnell Moore's "No Ashes in the Fire" and Kiese Laymon's "Heavy" - that put practical, stress-tested flesh on the closing sentence of Brooks's preface: "And there is blackness, inclusive, possessed and given; freed and terrible and beautiful."

Ethiopia: Bill Threatens Free Expression Nairobi - Ethiopian lawmakers should significantly revise the draft law on hate speech and disinformation currently before parliament, Human Rights Watch said today. If approved, the Hate Speech and Disinformation Prevention and Suppression Proclamation could significantly curtail freedom of expression. Since mid-2018, Ethiopia has experienced serious communal violence that may have been provoked or exacerbated by online speech that fomented and violence. In late 2018, the government announced it was preparing a bill to tackle hate speech. On November 9, 2019, following a wave of protests in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, and in the Oromia region, that led to communal violence in a number of locations and the deaths of 86 people, the government promptly approved the proclamation. "The Ethiopian government is under increasing pressure to respond to rising communal violence that has at times been exacerbated by speeches and statements shared online," said Laetitia Bader, senior Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. "But an ill-construed law that opens the door for law enforcement officials to violate rights to free expression is no solution." The use of hate speech laws around the world shows that authorities have often abused them for political purposes, Human Rights Watch said. The government should instead adopt a comprehensive strategy to address incitement to violence, discrimination and hostility, and invoke non-punitive measures to address hate speech, Human Rights Watch said. This should include regular public messaging from the prime minister and other public figures about the dangers of hate speech, programs to improve digital literacy, and efforts to encourage self-regulation within and between communities. The draft proclamation's definition of hate speech is not narrowly restricted to speech that is likely to incite imminent violence, discrimination or hostility, as is required under international law. Instead it broadly allows punishment for "speech that promotes hatred, discrimination or attack against a person or an identifiable group, based on ethnicity, religion, race, gender or disability." Nor does the draft law set out an objective process to make this determination. The draft includes new, vaguely worded online, broadcast and print activities subject to criminal penalty. It criminalizes the "dissemination of disinformation" defined as speech that is knowingly "false," without defining this concept. It also sets criminal penalties if speech is not "truthful," which international law does not require. The draft is also unclear on what types of social media platforms may be affected, including whether people using online messaging applications on mobile phones that are largely used for private communication, and a key mode of communication in Ethiopia, especially in urban areas, may also be subject to criminal liability for sharing content considered to be "hate speech" or "disinformation." It also includes vague articles prohibiting "dissemination" of hate speech that would allow for criminal punishment for someone who merely shares or reposts information. Ethiopian and international freedom of expression experts have criticized the bill for its lack of clear definitions and for its vague and overly broad provisions. During a visit to Ethiopia in December, the United Nations special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, raised concerns that the law did not meet international standards and that broadly defined provisions, notably on hate speech, which could lead to up to five years in prison, could give law enforcement authorities wide scope for misinterpretation. "The Ethiopian government has a range of tools at its disposal to counter hate speech that do not entail criminalizing protected speech," Bader said. "It can start by publicly condemning speech that fuels ethnic tensions and ensuring that government officials promote dialogue that fosters tolerance." The draft law includes provisions calling on the Ethiopian Broadcast Authority and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission to conduct awareness raising activities and media literacy campaigns to educate people about disinformation and hate speech. Independent media outlets, as well as universities, nongovernmental organizations, political parties, and other respected bodies and individuals should also seek to provide Ethiopians with new platforms and opportunities to express their grievances and discuss critical issues, beyond social media. While certain types of speech can be restricted under article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the threshold for such restrictions is high. They are also limited under article 19 (3) of the ICCPR by the standards of legality, necessity and proportionality. Under the 2012 Rabat Plan of Action, on implementing article 20 while respecting freedom of speech, UN experts agreed that incitement should be determined by several factors, including context, speaker, audience, and likelihood or imminence that such incitement could lead to the intended results.

Trippie Redd Tops Chart With Mixtape "A Love Letter to You 4" Trippie Redd, a 20-year-old rapper-singer from Ohio, has reached the top of the Billboard album chart for the first time this week, beating out new releases from Jason Aldean and Coldplay. Redd, part of a wave of young rappers who emerged on SoundCloud in recent years, landed at No. 1 with "A Love Letter to You 4," the latest in his series of mixtapes, this one featuring appearances from DaBaby, Juice WRLD, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and others. It had 126 million streams and sold 14,000 copies as a full unit, adding up to the equivalent of 104,000 sales in the United States in its opening week, according to Nielsen. "A Love Letter" easily topped the latest from Aldean, "9," which had the equivalent of 83,000 sales, including 68,000 copies sold as a full album and 17 million streams. Disney's soundtrack to "Frozen 2" rose 12 spots to No. 3 in its second week out, while Post Malone's "Hollywood's Bleeding" is No. 4 and Billie Eilish's "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" is No. 5. "Everyday Life," the latest from Coldplay, opened at No. 7. This week, Redd and Aldean's numbers both benefited from so-called sales bundles - deals for merchandise or concert tickets that include copies of the album, a longtime industry marketing gimmick that has lately drawn concerns about chart manipulation. Last week, Billboard announced several changes to its rules for bundles in an effort to tamp down related problems on the charts. The changes are modest but address several frequent complaints. For example, an album that comes with an item of merchandise - say, a T-shirt or a poster - can only count toward the chart if an artist's website also sells that item by itself, and for at least $3.49 less than the bundle that includes the album. The changes go into effect on Jan. 3.

Merkel defends open-door policy as election draws near - RT News The German Chancellor Angela Merkel once again defended her open-door policy by denying she made any mistakes over the course of the refugee crisis, even though her decision to let in hundreds of thousands of refugees split the German society. "I'd make all the important decisions of 2015 the same way again," the chancellor told the German Die Welt daily's weekend edition, adding that she has no regrets about her refugee policy. Read more "I made my decision based on what I thought was right from a political and humanitarian standpoint," she said and described the 2015 refugee crisis as one of "extraordinary situations" that just "happen every once in a while in a country's history." At the same time, she also said that the 2015 refugee crisis was an "emergency" that "we all, including the people seeking asylum, should never face once again." The chancellor then criticized the EU Dublin regulation that stipulates that the asylum seekers should be accepted by the EU member state through which they first entered the territory of the union. Merkel denounced the Dublin system by saying that it is "no more reliable," adding that it leaves "countries such as Greece and Italy unable to cope with the burden placed on them" by this regulation. Greece and Italy "should not bear this entire burden just because of their geographic location," she said as she once again expressed her support for the idea of distribution of refugees between all the EU member states. Merkel called refusal of "some countries" to accept "any refugees" unacceptable. "That contradicts the spirit of Europe. We'll overcome that. It will take time and patience but we will succeed," she said, adding that she would not stop pushing for relocation of refugees across the EU. Since 2015, when Merkel introduced her open-door policy, around 1 million asylum-seekers have arrived in Germany, putting a strain on its social welfare system and sparking a rise in anti-migrant sentiment as well as opening deep rifts within German society. "Screaming Hecklers" Merkel, who is seeking a fourth term as Germany's chancellor in the September 24 election, was confronted by angry protesters during a campaign speech for the second time in a little more than a week. On Saturday, a crowd of protesters were yelling and whistling at her during the 30-minute speech in Quedlinburg, a town in Saxony-Anhalt. The demonstrators chanted, "Liar, liar," and "Merkel must go." Read more A similar incident took place at her previous rally in the town of Annaberg-Buchholz, where protesters held banners calling her "Traitor" and "Not my chancellor." In both cases, the demonstrators expressed their discontent with Merkel's refugee policy, which they said had failed. In her Sunday interview with Die Welt, Merkel said she would not be deterred from campaigning by some angry "hecklers." "We're a democracy and everyone can freely express themselves in public the way they want," she said. "It's important that we don't go out of our way to avoid certain areas only because there are a bunch of people screaming." She also ruled out any form of cooperation with the right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD), whose supporters often appear her staunchest opponents. It is "absolutely clear that the AfD is not a partner for us," she said, adding that her party would not engage in any form of cooperation with it. In the meantime, public support for AfD is once again on the rise amid the growing anti-refugee sentiments that followed Merkel's open-door policy. According to the latest polls conducted by the German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF, AfD has once again emerged as the third most popular political force in Germany as it now enjoys the support of 10 percent of the German population. Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union still leads the polls by a wide margin as it has support of some 38 percent of Germans. However, its popularity also dramatically fell during the refugee crisis by almost 10 percent and is now lower than before the previous parliamentary elections in 2013. Migration & security The mass influx of refugees has also affected the security situation in Germany. According to a report in April by Germany's Der Spiegel weekly, thousands of Afghan refugees who came to Germany admitted during interviews with representatives of the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) that they either had contacts with some radical Islamist groups in Afghanistan or had directly fought for the extremists. Read more The weekly also said at that time that the German Federal Prosecutor's Office had already opened criminal cases against 70 Afghan refugees after verifying their statements, and that six asylum seekers had been arrested.

== Updating a Image ==
I've noticed on the wiki page for North Walsham the picture of St Nicholas Church is outdated (It's had significant building work on the tower). I wish to submit an updated image which is my own to update the image. Can I, and How do I submit this image to editors so its suitability can be assessed for inclusion on the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbannorfolk (talk • contribs)
Urbannorfolk (talk)
Welcome to the Teahouse, Urbannorfolk. You don't need to submit your image to other editors for assessment. Providing that you own the copyright to the new photo and are willing to release it under a Creative Commons licence, you can be bold and replace the existing image. The best place to upload the image is to Wikimedia Commons. You can read about this at Wikimedia Commons. Cordless Larry (talk)
The form for uploading an image at Commons is here. Deor (talk)
Then,, once you've taken your photo and uploaded it to Commons, you can go to North Walsham, hit Edit, find where it says having trouble understanding some of the reviewers comments on my article for submissionTapestry1 (talk)
Molly Upton. Welcome to the Teahouse,. I read your draft article about Molly Upton and believe that she should have an article here. Thank you for beginning it. My grandmother was a quilter and I have driven across the Golden Gate Bridge, where Upton's life ended, thousands of times. The coverage of her work and of her so sadly brief career in reliable sources is solid. I will be happy to do my best to answer any specific questions you may have. Cullen328 Let's discuss it
Hi Tapestry1 and welcome from me too! I've added some more references, and fixed the formatting on others so that the links show. I think the reviewers were uneasy about accepting a draft where they couldn't easily access any of the sources. However, I'm satisfied that it meets our criteria for inclusion on the basis of the references that I've checked. For one thing there's a lengthy article about her life and work in the New York Times, which I've added as a reference. I'm going to move the draft to article space and tag it for copyediting. You'll get a lot more help once it's in article space. I'll also post at the WikiProject Women in Red to see if I can get more help for you in polishing up and formatting the article. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk)
Good morning and thank you both for this big assist in bringing attention to this young quilt artist. I so appreciate your guidance and confidence in the content of this article, the excellent edits and the key reference you discovered from the NY Times. I am most grateful and very excited to see this in the article space 209.99.199.173 (talk)
Another question I have at this time is about representing the artist with a photograph and to demonstrate examples of her work. I would very much like to add a picture of the artist, and of the work that was selected as one of the best 100 quilts of the 20th century. Tomorrow, I have the privilege of visiting with the artist's mother, spot on at 95. First, this is a gift to be able to show her daughter's life is now accessible on Wikipedia, but second, are there specific permissions I need to request to upload photographs of her daughter and/or her daughter's work. I did read about copyright and open source but it is not clear if there are forms/acknowledgements needed to post photographic images. Still extremely grateful for your significant contributions to see this article 1 (talk)

It isn't just a single thing that sets the stage. Its a systemic thing, with many interlocking (talk)
:::::*Yes I would agree. The effects of climate change are multifactorial and multidimensional and, unfortunately, many of these effects are multiplicative in terms of their impacts. Since such a high percentage of human populations live in coastal regions, including some of the highest value developed real estate (including entire cities) lie on land vulnerable to inundation from rising seas, the risk to humanity (not to mention other parts of the biosphere) is massive. At least now, I see we have back a sub-section addressing the global furore over Typhoon Haiyan and Climate Change, lets hope it does not get deleted (again) and stays neutral, without attracting extreme sentiments from either side. ::::::In the USA, flood damage has historically been a government responsibility, and in a strange political anomaly US citizen have expected the government to compensate them for rebuilding, even if their property stood in a flood plain. I understand that this policy is changing in the US and people are now expected and required to buy flood insurance. Of course, the insurance companies do not want to insure for floods if the insured property stands on a flood plain. So, over time, market forces will lead to people choose not to build in areas prone to flooding. Now, of course, as the USA becomes more established (as the old world has been for millennia), there will be a growing record and understanding of what are flood risk areas and so, hopefully, they will either avoid those areas or, at least build to the environment, maybe houses on stilts or pontoons (so that they can float up in times of severe flooding). I am sure others are more familiar with this dynamic. ::::::Enquire (talk)
So nobody is going to mention that ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) is down (roughly 74% normal) for this year? One strong storm is not indicative of any system wide trend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.215.144.201 (talk)
If you can provide a reliable source for us to use, I'd be more than happy to add it. I know ACE globally this year, and for much of the past few years, has been unusually low despite the number of violent storms. Cyclonebiskit (talk)
I can eat jalapenos all summer, no big deal. But please lord, let me never bite into a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion! That's what we're talking about here. mind that) While all the speculation is fine and dandy, at the current time, it's just. Thankfully there's less interest in this storm so there's no overwhelming pressure like with Hurricane Sandy to include such claims, but with Haiyan we can at least hold off until definitive connections have been made. One thing I will always point to with tropical cyclones is how far back our data goes. For the Western Pacific, we only have reasonably accurate wind measurements going back to 1970 and iffy ones to 1945. Prior to that, we have nothing for millenia. There's no way anyone can safely say that Haiyan was unprecedented. It may be in the past 40-50 years, but what about 100, 200, 300 years ago? I am highly hesitant to put information about claims of its intensity being linked to climate change unless official panels state such. :Specific responses to certain points (not necessarily rebuttals though, some are just comments):
:*1) "...Typhoon Haiyan is not only the strongest typhoon in recorded history, but also has led to one of the largest storm surges recorded." – There have been no record-breaking storm surges from Haiyan. The highest estimate was roughly 20 ft (compare with the record of 48 ft from Cyclone Mahina), nowhere close to record-breaking. See above comments for my response to the " recorded history" part. :*2) "...the differential between the temperature at sea level and the top of the storm is also believed to be the greatest of any such storm observed in recorded history (still under evaluation). "– There was an approximate 120°C difference between the two (coldest cloud tops were roughly -90°C while the surface was near 30°C), but there have been similar instances of this in the past, though not as extreme in coverage to my knowledge. Again, however, we're talking about a very small window of record for this (no more than 40-50 years for enhanced infrared satellite imagery). :*3)"...the sea surface temperature in the path behind the storm was cooled significantly, indicating the immense heat energy that Typhoon Haiyan had extracted from the ocean." – This happens with every tropical cyclone.

Your recent editing history at People's Mujahedin of Iran shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Pahlevun: as noted, I'm happy to discuss further on the article's Talk page. London Hall (talk)

Be open and honest: How I told my child I had cancer Image copyright Sammy Blair Image caption Sammy Blair and his children Ellie (10) and Lennon (7) in hospital in December 2016 It is news that no-one wants to say and no-one wants to hear. But what is the best way to tell your child that you have cancer? One in two of those born after 1960 in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime - many of those will be families with children who will face that question. University College London Hospital Cancer Collaborative has released a video explaining how to go about it. Honesty is the best strategy and crying is OK because it communicates to children that showing emotion is normal, it explains. Media caption Here's some advice on how to approach such a tricky subject. Animation by Fruit Fly Collective The animation also reminds parents that young children can have a very basic understanding of sickness and may think wrongly that you can "catch" cancer like you catch a cold. It also warns that some children might blame themselves or think that all people with cancer will die. A short version of the video was posted on the BBC Family and Education Facebook page and parents and children began to share their advice. Sammy Blair: I told them I'll die but I'll fight Thirty-seven-year-old Sammy Blair lives in Motherwell and found out just before Christmas that he has terminal stomach cancer. He immediately told his young children Ellie and Lennon. "I told them I had been for an operation but they couldn't get the cancer out and there is nothing we can do. I told them that even though I look ok on the outside, I don't feel fine inside. "I said that yes I will die but that I'll fight for as long as I can. "It was devastating to hear my wee boy say 'daddy I don't want you to go'." Sammy told his children to ask him any questions but they still refuse to discuss his illness with close family and he worries that they are blocking out the information. Adele Hanna: Say the big words and be as factual as you can Adele Hanna, 52, and her late husband, Richard, broke the news of Richard's prostate cancer when their three-year-old sons saw him taking tablets at dinner. "I was cooking tea, and one of the boys asked if the medicine was going to make daddy better. "Me and Richard just looked at each other, we both became tearful, eventually I took a deep breath before starting a simple conversation saying, 'no daddy isn't going to get better, daddy is seriously ill and he is going to die. You're not going to see him again." Image copyright Adele Hanna Image caption Richard and Adele Hanna with their twin sons shortly after they shared the news that Richard had cancer She said that brutal honesty was the best strategy for her family. "It was hard, very hard. My husband had to walk out of the room. "When he returned we talked about daddy's tears and mine - after all, it's normal to cry when you feel sad. "We had a big hug and all cried, followed by lots of kisses. The boys finished their dinner, swinging their feet and chitter-chatting. "It is about being kind, being honest and being clear, which is not easy at a time of fear, panic, anger and denial," Adele says. Image copyright Adele Hanna Image caption Adele Hanna with her sons Christopher and Louis, who are now nine Adele and Richard also emphasised to their sons that their dad did not want to die and that it was nobody's fault but it would definitely happen. "Say the big words and be as factual as you can," she explains. Natasha Boor: Tell your children about every step so they know what's happening Natasha Boor's mum, Rebecca, died from cancer 10 years ago - but Natasha, who is 26 and now a care assistant in Kendal, barely remembers her mum discussing it. "She said it was an illness like a growth or alien growing in her stomach and she would get surgery. "When it didn't work she said she just needed some medicine." Rebecca died shortly afterwards, but even to this day, Natasha is not sure what type of cancer she had. "I overheard her she saying she was scared of dying - but that was different to what she was telling me. "I don't remember her telling me she would die." Image copyright Natasha Boor Image caption Natasha Boor does not remember if her mum ever told her she would die from cancer The mystery around her mum's sickness made Natasha feel like her family were keeping secrets, and she connects this to anxiety and hypochondria she has experienced as an adult.

This is a list of VMI Keydets football players who have been picked in the National Football League Draft. Each NFL franchise seeks to add new players through the annual NFL Draft. The draft rules were last updated in 2009. The team with the worst record the previous year picks first, the next-worst team second, and so on. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record with any remaining ties broken by strength of schedule. Playoff participants are sequenced after non-playoff teams, based on their round of elimination (wild card, division, conference, and Super Bowl). Before the merger agreements in 1966, the American Football League (AFL) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate draft. This led to a massive bidding war over top prospects between the two leagues. As part of the merger agreement on June 8, 1966, the two leagues would hold a multiple round "Common Draft". Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970, the "Common Draft" simply became the NFL Draft. The first VMI graduate picked in the draft was Joe Muha in 1943, the second overall pick. Nineteen Keydets have been selected all-time, the most recent of which was Mark Stock in 1989. No players were selected in the short-lived AFL. ==Key==

The Portuguese brought Victor Lindelof to the club before splashing out £75million on Romelu Lukaku, and he was keen to bring in a midfielder and winger to complement them. Mourinho is understood to be keen on signing Nemanja Matic of Chelsea or Tottenham's Eric Dier to play in midfield and Inter Milan's Croatia international winger Ivan Perisic. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted he may only sign one more player The Portuguese boss said the'market' might dictate that he is unable to sign two up Paul Pogba also spoke during United's press conference in Washington DC on Tuesday Share this article Share 1.2k shares But a downcast Mourinho, speaking prior to leading his side's training session in the American capital, seemed to lack optimism that he would be able to bring in all of his core targets this summer. Asked about the progression of transfers, he replied: 'I don't know. Honestly, I don't know. No. (Executive vice-chairman) Ed (Woodward) is in control. He did Lindelof and Lukaku. 'He knows that I would like two more players, but he also knows that I have balance, I understand the situation, I understand the market. 'If my club is not able to do two players and is able to do just one, I will accept that as a consequence of the market now. 'Our relation is good and I just wait for good news. He knows that for me good news would be to have the players or maybe just the player as soon as possible. 'To work with the team is really important. But I am calm. I like my players, I like my squad. I trust them. I am calm, and that is important. 'One player would be a midfield player that would give me more options to my team, more balance. The other would be an attacking player that could play through the wings to give me more attacking options.' United were hit with the news this week that defender Eric Bailly would be suspended for the UEFA Super Cup and the first game of the Champions League group stage. The Ivorian centre-back was sent off after a clash in the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo. Mourinho commented: 'My view is that normally what you get is what you get. You accept with a happy face or a bad face, but always you have to accept. It was a red card in the semi-final. Mourinho and United take on Barcelona in a pre-season friendly on Thursday 'I think the punishment of not to play in the final is enough. It's a big punishment not to play in the final. I say that normally he would deserve a clean sheet and to start the next season ready to play in the Super Cup. 'Now it is an important player for us that is not able to play in the Super Cup and the first match of the Champions League group phase but to not play in the final and Super Cup is a very harsh punishment.' United play Barcelona in the final friendly of their tour of the United States on Thursday at 3.30am. Share this article Share 1.2k shares

Liar Liar Ge2017: Theresa May protest song reaches top 5 in the Official Singles Chart 'Liar Liar', Captain Ska's viral track criticising Theresa May and her government, is the highest new entry in the Official Singles Chart, entering at Number 4 this week. Originally released in 2010 in response to the coalition government, the seven-piece London band recorded a new version of their track ahead of the General Election that includes soundbites from several of May's speeches and the chorus lyric: 'She's a liar liar, you can't trust her, no, no, no'. "The success of this song shows people are fed up with this government of the rich, for the rich," the band said in a statement. "We're overwhelmed with the support and our message is that people do have the power to change society if we act together." All proceeds from the song between 26 May and 8 June will be split between food banks around the UK and The People's Assembly Against Austerity, the track's supporters. The song won't, however, be played on the radio due to impartiality rules. Captain Ska will stage a protest outside BBC Radio One headquarters today. The protest, scheduled for 4pm, is to take place ahead of a special Question Time episode in which Prime Minister Theresa May will be grilled by the public alongside Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Prosecutor defends dropping charges against Jussie Smollett The Chicago prosecutor whose office dismissed charged against Jussie Smollett defended the decision on Saturday, saying the "Empire" actor was treated no differently than thousands of other defendants whose charges were similarly dropped since she took office. Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx made the comments during a defiant and emotional address at the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.'s Rainbow Push Coalition. Foxx openly wondered if her race had something to do with the harsh criticism she's faced since her office announced that charges against Smollett had been dropped. The actor was accused of staging what he claimed to be a racist and homophobic attack in January. "I have been asking myself for the last two weeks what is this really about," she said. "As someone who has lived in this city, who came up in the projects of this city to serve as the first African American woman in this role, it is disheartening to me... that when we get in these positions somehow the goalposts change." Foxx, who recused herself from the case after she communicating with a Smollett relative during the probe, reiterated that she welcomes of an independent investigation into the way she and her office handled the case. She also reminded the audience that her office did the same thing for the nearly 6,000 low-level defendants who had their charges dropped with "deferred prosecution" during her tenure. Further, she said that under the law, Smollett could be fined a maximum of $10,000 and that the actor did pay that amount because his $10,000 bond was forfeited. But Foxx did not address specifics of the case, or the criticism leveled by legal experts and others who said it was highly unusual not to require an admission of guilt by Smollett, particularly since at the time they dropped charges, prosecutors said they believed they could have proven the charges against the actor. "In my 48 years of practice, I certainly have never seen a deferred prosecution done like that," Richard Kling, an IIT-Kent Law School professor told the Chicago Sun-Times last week. Foxx also responded to the calls by various critics to resign, saying that she will complete her term that ends next year and has plans to run for re-election.

The war on the Western Front was in deadlock and Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, was an ambitious plotter who pushed for a naval campaign to break the deadlock. Opening a second front 1,000 miles away would weaken the Kaiser and assist Russia, which was cut off from the Allies.
In March 1915, 18 ageing British and French battleships tried to force their way through the mined straits but came under heavy attack from the Turks' mobile guns. It was then decided the peninsula would have to be secured, and thousands of Allied troops were committed to a land attack. The Gallipoli campaign's aim was to change the course of the war and knock Turkey out of the conflict by attacking Constantinople. Pictured: British warships during the Gallipoli campaign
Some 559,000 Allied forces joined the battle over its eight months, comprising 420,000 British and Empire troops, 80,000 French, 50,000 Australians and 9,000 from New Zealand.
According to figures from the respected Gallipoli Association, almost half of the Allied numbers them became casualties, with around 58,000 of them dying. There were 29,500 British and Irish fatalities, more than 12,000 French, 11,000 Australians and New Zealanders and 1,500 Indians. The other casualties were wounded or fell ill in the dreadful conditions. Despite the heavy losses, there are only 11,000 graves on the peninsula. The others had their names inscribed on memorials. More than 87,000 Ottoman and German forces were killed, out of more than 300,000 casualties.
The campaign was a disaster and was until that point, the bloodiest in World War I. Commanders initially underestimated the resolve of the Turkish forces and planning for such a major operation was rushed. There was a lack of artillery, inaccurate maps, the under-prepared troops were poorly equipped and the commanders made tactical errors. Attacks lost momentum, leading to stalemate and trench warfare like that in France. Heat, poor sanitation, flies, dystentry then intense cold in winter, killed thousands.
Ironically, the evacuation was the most successful part of an Allied operation which failed in its mission to capture the straits. Churchill was demoted and for years his political career tainted by the catastrophe. On the other side, the Turkish military leader Kemal would eventually emerge as Kemal Ataturk, founding President of the Turkish Republic. The Gallipoli campaign was scrutinised and came to influence military thinking, including planning for the Normandy Landings nearly 30 years later. Gallipoli and the terrible experiences of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was said to have also shaped the two countries' national psyches.
Anzac Day on April 25 marks the anniversary of the start of the Gallipoli landings, and is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand. News of the disaster unfolding in Turkey leaked home to the two new dominions, but added to the fury about the British top brass's incompetence were tales of heroism,'mateship' and pluck in the face of death.

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is a DNA sequence that codes for ribosomal RNA. Ribosomes are assemblies of proteins and rRNA molecules that translate mRNA molecules to produce proteins. As shown in the figure, rDNA of eukaryotes consists of a tandem repeat of a unit segment, an operon, composed of NTS, ETS, 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2, and 28S tracts. rDNA has another gene, coding for 5S rRNA, located in the genome in most eukaryotes. 5S rDNA is also present in tandem repeats as in Drosophila. In the nucleus, the rDNA region of the chromosome is visualized as a nucleolus which forms expanded chromosomal loops with rDNA. These rDNA regions are also called nucleolus organizer regions, as they give rise to the nucleolus. In the there are 5 chromosomes with nucleolus organizer regions: the acrocentric chromosomes 13 (RNR1), 14 (RNR2), 15 (RNR3), 21 (RNR4) and 22 (RNR5). In Bacteria, Archaea, and chloroplasts the rRNA is composed of different (smaller) units, the large (23S) ribosomal RNA, 16S ribosomal RNA and 5S rRNA. The 16S rRNA is widely used for phylogenetic studies. == Sequence homogeneity of the repeat unit ==
In the large rDNA array, polymorphisms between rDNA repeat units are very low, indicating that rDNA tandem arrays are evolving through concerted evolution. However, the mechanism of concerted evolution is imperfect, such that polymorphisms between repeats within an individual can occur at significant levels and may confound phylogenetic analyses for closely related organisms. 5S tandem repeat sequences in several Drosophila were compared with each other; the result revealed that insertions and deletions occurred frequently between species and often flanked by conserved sequences. They could occur by slippage of the newly synthesized strand during DNA replication or by gene conversion. == Sequence divergence to clarify phylogeny ==
The rDNA transcription tracts have low rate of polymorphism among species, which allows interspecific comparison to elucidate phylogenetic relationship using only a few specimens. Coding regions of rDNA are highly conserved among species but ITS regions are variable due to insertions, deletions, and point mutations. Between remote species as human and frog comparison of sequences at ITS tracts is not appropriate. Conserved sequences at coding regions of rDNA allow comparisons of remote species, even between yeast and human. Human 5.8S rRNA has 75% identity with yeast 5.8S rRNA. In cases for sibling species, comparison of the rDNA segment including ITS tracts among species and phylogenetic analysis are made satisfactorily. The different coding regions of the rDNA repeats usually show distinct evolutionary rates. As a result, this DNA can provide phylogenetic information of species belonging to wide systematic levels. == Recombination-stimulating activity ==
A fragment of yeast rDNA containing the 5S gene, nontranscribed spacer DNA, and part of the 35S gene has localized cis-acting mitotic recombination stimulating activity. This DNA fragment contains a mitotic recombination hotspot, referred to as HOT1. HOT1 expresses recombination-stimulating activity when it is inserted into novel locations in the yeast genome. HOT1 includes an RNA polymerase I (PolI) transcription promoter that catalyzes 35S ribosomal rRNA gene transcription. In a PolI defective mutant, the HOT1 hotspot recombination-stimulating activity is level of PolI transcription in HOT1 appears to determine the level of recombination. DNA regions that are repetitive often undergo recombination events. The rDNA repeats have many regulatory mechanisms that keep the DNA from undergoing mutations, thus keeping the rDNA conserved. In rDNA, the tandem repeats are largely found in the nucleolus; but heterochromatic rDNA is found near the nucleolus. However, the rDNA that is transcriptionally active is found within the nucleolus itself. The genes that are responsible for encoding the various sub-units of rRNA are located across multiple chromosomes in humans. But, the genes that encode for rRNA are highly conserved across the domains, with only the copy numbers involved for the genes having varying numbers per species. Human diseases that are associated with Ribosomal DNA repeat mutations
Diseases can be associated with DNA mutations where DNA can be be expanded, like in Huntington's disease, or lost due to deletion mutations.

Naby Keita signs for Liverpool & is ideal for Jurgen Klopp Naby Keita's name was destined to find its way into a few headlines over the summer transfer window. The RB Leipzig midfielder's future was one of the hot topics of pre-season and with a £48million release clause in his contract coming into effect next summer, it looked set to become a saga which would return after this season following the German club's insistence that they 22-year-old was staying put. But after having a series of big-money bids rejected by the Bundesliga club, Liverpool recalculated their approach in order to secure the signature of a man who was one of Jurgen Klopp's primary targets. Keita will now arrive at Anfield in 2018, having agreed terms and undergone a medical at Liverpool before returning to Leipzig for the rest of the season. Liverpool had two bids rejected for Keita worth up to £70m before agreeing to pay a supplement on top of the £48m release clause to get their man. Sportsmail provides the lowdown on Liverpool's new club record signing. Share this article Share 70 shares Who is Naby Keita? A young central midfielder from Guinea, Keita has exploded into the higher echelons of European football in his first season at RB Leipzig. After joining from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2016, the 22-year-old took the Bundesliga by storm as the motor behind Leipzig's surprise success. His tireless work in defensive midfield and his penetrative qualities in attack have drawn regular comparisons with Chelsea's N'Golo Kante, while others have professed to find similarities with Keita's idol, Andres Iniesta. Former Schalke player Hans Sarpei described him as 'amazing', saying that he'moves like music', while his former coach at Salzburg Oscar Garcia says he is 'one of the three best players I have ever coached.' Is he really that good? Anyone who has watched Keita over the last 12 months would struggle to find anything but praise for him. He has been the natural flag-bearer for Leipzig's fierce pressing style, hunting down his opponents in midfield and never resting until he has won the ball back. That has made him perhaps the most significant element of what has been an incredible success story in Leipzig. It is he, more than any other player, who has glued together a team which exceeded all expectations by finishing second in their maiden Bundesliga season. 'When I get onto the field, all I think about is how best to defend and win the ball back, about how best to support my team. That is my main task,' he said when describing himself. Liverpool fans will now be paying a particularly close eye on Keita's progress when Leipzig play in the Champions League. The German club have been drawn in Group G, alongside Monaco, Porto and Besiktas. So he is mainly a defensive player? Yes, and yet his qualities going forward have also been priceless for Leipzig. Having won the ball back, Keita is always quick to move to the next step of Leipzig's tactical style, often being at either the genesis or the heart of their rapid counter-attacks. With eight goals and eight assists in his 31 league appearances for the club last season, Keita was one of the most prolific players in a team packed with attacking talent. He could not only direct an attack from the edge of the final third, but also pop up as a poacher in the penalty area. It is arguably no coincidence, in fact, that Leipzig's sustained title challenge began to stutter in the spring, around the same time that Keita's potency in attack also began to wane. Would he suit the Premier League? Having been such a brilliant exponent of Leipzig's style last season, there is little reason to think he would struggle in the Premier League. The comparisons with Kante are not for nothing, and he would arguably bring a similar mixture of scrap, beguiling intelligence and razor sharp penetration to any English club. Liverpool were the most attractive destination for Keita. Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl is, if not a carbon copy of Jurgen Klopp, very much of the same school, and the combination of tactical familiarity and Klopp's man-management skills could be ideal for Keita.

Ashes 2015: Alastair Cook hopes grass is now greener for England But this is the way things have gone for England this year. The results in their most recent six Tests since the beginning of April now read: win, lose, win, lose, win, lose. Although no team has extended such a sequence of up and down, ebb and flow, beyond six matches, it would be typical of this bunch led by Alastair Cook to become the first. The events at Lord's were all too predictable but knowing what has gone before, England, after dispersing for a few days, have regrouped in chipper frame of mind. They see this year's ups as playing to their potential and the equally regular downs as the inevitable consequence of a squad still finding their way. Perhaps it does not bear to think too hard about this. Australia were seriously dominant in levelling the series and have no intention of allowing England back in the third Investec Test which starts at Edgbaston on Wednesday, considering that their lesson was learned in Cardiff. Despite the overwhelming nature of the results so far - England by 169 runs, Australia by 405 runs - there is not much between these sides. England probably have the superior overall batting (whatever the tendency of their upper order to subside), Australia have the stronger bowling attack. England's intention is to make the most of their relative strength in one department and compensate for their comparative weakness in the other. They did this on a slow, characteristic pitch in Wales, which granted them just enough help, but not in London, where the tourists came to relish a docile surface of which they had first batting use. The signs are that there will be more life and fewer runs in the surface at Edgbaston. When the covers were eventually removed in mid-afternoon there was much heavy brushing by the ground staff. But there was a uniform green hue to the business area which is not likely to disappear by this morning. It looked English, as indeed it should. Cook is professing to be tickled pink by all this talk of pitches. "I just want to see a good wicket," he said. "There's so much talk... it's amazing after being involved in a few Ashes series what everyone starts talking about. This time it's about the pitches. But let's remember the best side won the first game and the best side won the second game, so I don't see any difference in this game - whichever side adjusts to the wicket well enough." But Cook, bless him, is kidding no one. England would definitely prefer something on which their bowlers have a chance of taking 20 wickets. Jimmy Anderson, the veteran leader of the attack, is due to make a decisive intervention in this rubber. It is then up to their capricious batsmen to give them a sufficient advantage. If the top order can contribute properly there is enough in the lower-middle section to suggest this is eminently possible. England like playing at Edgbaston. Of what might be termed the traditional Test match grounds of the country, it is the venue where they have been most successful, winning 24 of the previous 47 Tests, losing only eight, which includes two of the most recent 16. It is the sort of record that gets passed on from one team to the next down the generations. "I think it's just knowing the noise and the crowd do get behind us," said Cook. "When you do get on top, it feels like an extra man playing for you just because of the noise. It's a different atmosphere to anywhere else we play. "I have seen Spider-Man climbing up the stand, I have seen Bananaman being chased. It is fantastic entertainment but you can only cheer a side which is playing good cricket." Cook seemed to doubt whether England could draw direct inspiration this week from the most famous Test match of all played on this ground. It will be 10 years next week since England, after losing at Lord's, prevailed by two runs against Australia to level a series which they went on to win. "As a side and as players we're involved in a situation now," said Cook. "You know it's possible, you know all the permutations but as a side we just concentrate on getting our stuff right this week. "It would be a fantastic anniversary of those 10 years to win here after losing at Lord's. It would be brilliant to go 2-1 up and it's certainly an inspiration in one way to know it's possible." For the two players who survive from that epic encounter, Ian Bell and Michael Clarke, this is an important match. Bell, promoted to No 3, might not exactly be running out of time but he has been entrusted with a responsibility he dare not shirk.

She would definitely be considered "Caucasian" if she had been born in Europe, and people of her appearance brought the Indo-Aryan languages (e.g., Sanskrit, Hindi) to India. You will find people resembling her in Kashmir and other parts of (northern) India. The Dravidians seem to have entered India from the northwest as well. They may have been related to the Harappan culture and to the Elamites of the Fertile Crescent. The evidence I have seen for this is highly dubious and speculative, but those are the best guesses given the evidence. There has recently been evidence showing a rare Y-haplotype in extreme souther India to one found in Australian Aborigines. The supposition is that the wave of hunter gatherers that reached Australia did so 10's of thousands of years ago by following the coast of the Indian Ocean eastward from Africa. They would have left behind relatives along the way. The Dravidian speakers probably then brought farming and animal husbandry into India much more recently, largely interbreeding with and simply displacing the indigenous tribal peoples. Then the Indo-Aryan speaking wave entered following the same path, conquering the north with superior war technology, namely horses and chariots. The Mitanni people of the Fertile Crescent are poorly known, but they spoke an Indo-Aryan language, and used horses in war. There's no linguistic or direct genetic link between the Dravidians and the SE Asians that I am aware of. (But the science advances so rapidly I may be wrong on the genetics.) Skin color evolves rapidly and is subject to biological convergence. The greater Malayo-Indonesian area is subject to a huge influence from the west, with the introduction of Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism all coming in waves. One would expect intermixture has been going on for millennia. But I suspect that rather than from Indonesia, that the Dravdians' original closer relatives were from the Indus valley and the Middle East μηδείς (talk)
Is desi too specific? Good find JackofOz, it appears to be an endonym used by Indo-Aryans, unfortunately the article isn't clear about whether the term includes Dravidian peoples or not. Roger (Dodger67) (talk)
It's a funny one. I remember once asking my partner, a Sri Lankan immigrant to Australia, about this word, but it meant nothing to him. It should not be confused with Desi Arnaz. —Wavelength (talk)
And all these years I've taken you for a nerd par excellence (not a bad thing), without the slightest hint of a sense of humour. Thanks for sharing this hitherto unsuspected aspect of yourself, Wavelength. Although I do have a sense of humor, I did post my comment in seriousness. The Hindustani word Desi really can be confused with the given name Desi. —Wavelength (talk)
There's a fairly popular filesharing forum called DesiRulez. For a while, I assumed the word was about Indian TV, a Desi scene to go with the Bollywood one. Still stuck thinking that, somewhat, despite the evidence. Still a bit weird calling them "pirates", too, as it must have been for Kanhoji Angre sometimes. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:04, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
Usage note: Desi is mainly popular among the South Asian diaspora, who use it as a form of self-identification to reflect a mix of self-depreciation and cultural pride. However the use of the term by "outsiders" (depending on the speaker, audience and context, of course) can come across as (mildly) pejorative; roughly equivalent to calling someone unrefined or a yokel. So don't regard desi as a neutral substitute for South Asian. This Ben Zimmer column goes into some of these issues. Abecedare (talk)
Following up, it should be noted that the Austroasiatic peoples, remnants of whom live in eastern India, and who include the Vietnamese may have ben the first rice farmers, and were likely spread through SE Asia before the advent of the Dravidians, Sino-Tibetans, and others. Racial commonalities in the area may be a result of them as a genetic substrate. Note also that the originally Indian Buddhist liturgical language, Pali, survives now largely in Thailand and Cambodia. ===related question===
This isn't what was asked by the OP above... but are their common pejorative terms for people from the sub-continent?

Missing Wichita boy Lucas Hernandez disappeared 2 days ago The hunt for a missing five-year-old boy turned desperate on Monday as the search entered its third day. Lucas Hernandez was reported missing from him home in Wichita, Kansas on Saturday by his 26-year-old stepmother. The stepmother, who is not being named, told cops that she last saw the boy around 3pm, when she went to take a shower and then fell asleep. When she woke up three hours later, Lucas was gone and the back door was open, she said. Lucas lived at the home with his father and was enrolled at Beech Elementary School. Police quickly jumped into action, using K9 units to search the home, surrounding neighborhood and a nearby park for clues. But they turned up empty handed. Scroll down for video Locals questioned why an Amber Alert wasn't issued for the boy, but police say that's because there's no evidence he was kidnapped. The FBI is working with local police to locate the boy. Lucas is described as having brown hair and eyes. He is about four feet tall and weighs approximately 60 pounds. Share this article Share 3.2k shares He was last seen wearing a gray shirt with a bear on it, black sweatpants and white socks. Kristin Edson, a cousin of the stepmom, told KWCH that Lucas' dad and stepmom are both distraught. 'Very distraught. Very upset. Devastated. I mean, can you imagine?' Edson said. 'They're just very distraught and worried about his safety. It's cold out. We don't know where he's at.' But other relatives say they knew the family had issues. Sally Rasmussen, Lucas' great aunt, and Jeannie Houchin, Lucas' great grandmother, told The Eagle on Sunday that they had concerns about the boy's welfare in the past. Rasmussen said she contacted the Kansas Department for Children and Families last spring about the boy. Houchin said the agency confirmed it was investigating. They did not go into details about their concerns. Anyone with information on the boy's disappearance is being asked to call 316-383-4661.

Idris Elba teaming up with BBC Three for short films Image copyright AFP/Getty Image caption Elba's production company is working with BBC Three on films from new writers Idris Elba is teaming up with BBC Three for a series of short films to appear on the channel when it moves online. The Luther star's production company, Green Door Pictures, will collaborate with BBC Three on the films from new writers. Established names will work alongside new actors for the series. BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh vowed the channel, which goes online next month, would be bold, British and creative. He has a budget of £30m a year for creative ideas, he said at an event to launch the new-look channel. Elba, widely considered to have been overlooked for an Oscars nomination for his role in Beasts of No Nation, said: "I'm looking forward to working with BBC Three and giving new writers and actors a chance to show what they can do." Kavanagh said the short films, made in conjunction with BBC Drama in-house, would be set in London, featuring "chance encounters between two people." New programmes for the channel also include Clique, focusing on two friends starting university in Edinburgh, magic show Life Hacks with Ben Hart and Unsolved: The Boy who Disappeared which tells the true story of the disappearance of a teenager two decades ago. BBC Three programmes including Stacey Dooley Investigates and Life and Death Row will still be available when the switchover happens on 16 February. Kavanagh said: "We're reinventing our offer for young people and this is just the start. We will be bold, we will be British and we will be creative." Image caption The new logo for BBC Three was unveiled earlier this month The channel is introducing two new formats for online - The Daily Drop, home to a stream of daily content, and The Best Of, bringing together original long-form programmes and new content, including short films. BBC director general Tony Hall said: "We are the first broadcaster in the world to work out what it's going to be like in this on-demand world. "This is new and let's be clear, it's also risky, but risky in the way it should be risky because if we don't take risks, who's going to?" He applauded BBC Three for making programmes that "provoke such strong reactions" and emphasised the importance of finding new talent. "I want people to look back on the new BBC Three as being the place that spotted the next James Corden, the next Aidan Turner, the next Sheridan Smith," he said. Switchover night will include the first episode of Cuckoo, the first film from the new series of Life and Death Row, and Live from the BBC, featuring new British comedians. Content will be available on iPlayer and BBC Three's new online home.

Dave Rennie gives youth a chance as Glasgow face Saints test Glasgow Warriors head coach Dave Rennie wants his younger players to go out at Bridgehaugh today and "make a statement" in their friendly against Northampton Saints. In midweek, at his first media briefing since arriving in the country last Sunday, the New Zealander was keen to point out that he had received good reports regarding the club's fringe and BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy men. And the reports were obviously favourable enough to get some of them game time today at Stirling County's ground, with the average age of the starting XV just 22. Adam Hastings leads a group of seven players who are set to make their first appearances in a Warriors shirt in the extended squad of 28. Hastings, 21, the summer signing from Bath and son of Scotland legend Gavin, starts at stand-off while Academy recruit Robbie Nairn, 20, also starts on the wing. The duo know each other well having played together at George Watson's College and then at age-grade level for Scotland. It will also be intriguing to see Hastings link up with George Horne, the electric scrum-half. From the bench, Academy players Grant Stewart, Hamilton Burr, George Stokes, Charlie Shiel and Stafford McDowell could all play for Glasgow for the first time. Kiran McDonald, who signed a pro deal in the summer after a spell at Hull, and Scotland Sevens cap Robert Beattie both played in the Warriors" pre-season game against Canada "A" at Bridgehaugh last year and are once again involved. Former Stirling County player Adam Ashe captains the team from No 8 while Jamie Bhatti, Scott Cummings and Matt Fagerson celebrate their Scotland call-ups with starts. With Stuart Hogg out for an extended period through injury, Rory Hughes is the first man given the chance to audition for the No 15 jersey under Rennie's watchful eye. The head coach said: "I signed 12 months ago, so it's great to be here and get the chance to finally see the boys in action this weekend. "It's great to take the game to Bridgehaugh. I want to make sure that we interact with people right across our region and show that we're more than just a Glasgow side. "These boys have been working really hard for the last couple of months, so it's a good opportunity for them. "We're treating this game like a trial and it's a chance for the younger guys to make a bit of a statement. "We did a fitness test on Monday and 17 of the boys recorded personal bests, so I can't speak highly enough of how hard everyone has worked. Northampton will ask some serious questions of us, but that's what we need." Saints travel north with an extended squad of 31 and their former Scotland age-grade cap Mitch Eadie starts at No 8. Another Scot, centre Rory Hutchinson, is among the replacements for the Aviva Premiership side, as is England skipper Dylan Hartley. They are skippered by England cap Ben Foden from full-back while Piers Francis, formerly on Edinburgh Rugby's books, starts at stand-off.

UK businesses split over Brexit talks after election shock While appalled at the prospect of more political uncertainty business leaders are hoping that a weakened Theresa May will now have to pay greater heed to their concerns and that her bruising at the polls may lead to a softer Brexit. Greg Clark, business secretary, summoned leading business groups after it emerged that Mrs May had fallen short of a governing majority, casting doubt over whether Brexit talks would begin, as planned, in just over a week's time. Mr Clark wanted to co-ordinate a business voice in favour of a softer Brexit, according to people at the meeting. "Clark was trying to focus on us all coming together so that some of the less business-friendly policies [on Brexit] could be dropped," said one person. But the groups present, including the CBI employers" lobby, the Institute of Directors, the EEF manufacturers" organisation, and the Federation of Small Businesses, disagreed over whether there should be a pause to regroup before beginning the negotiations. The CBI and IoD argued that delaying the discussions would weaken the UK further, as the clock ticks down to a March 2019 deadline. "Business groups are split. The IoD and the CBI want to push ahead [with the negotiation start dates] because otherwise we will look stupid in Europe," the person at the meeting added. Despite the disagreement over timing, business groups" shock at the election outcome has been balanced by optimism that it could result in a softer Brexit, with the UK possibly retaining some form of membership of the single market and relaxing proposed constraints on immigration, as well as improved communication with government. The prospect of a coalition government with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist party suggests that the UK might also remain inside the EU's customs union. Despite a traditional loyalty to the Conservatives, Mrs May's insistence on a hard Brexit - involving a departure from the EU single market and a commitment to abandoning free movement, as well as the repeated mantra that "no deal is better than a bad deal" - had alienated many business leaders. In the months since Mrs May took over last year, business leaders have complained repeatedly of poor links to No 10, a situation exacerbated by the tight-knit group of advisers around the prime minister. One FTSE 100 chairman said the removal of Nick Timothy, Mrs May's co-chief of staff, would help improve communication and that a formal mechanism should now be set up to allow business to talk to No 10 directly. "This [the election result] is about people thinking twice about the [EU] departure decision," he said. "A cohesive, collectively supported position" was now necessary to avoid the UK having "the most vulnerable negotiating body [the EU has] ever come across," he argued. Despite some positive reactions over the election outcome, the business community is appalled by the prospect of further uncertainty. "The last thing business leaders need is a parliament in paralysis, and the consequences for British businesses and for the UK as an investment destination would be severe," said Stephen Martin, director-general of the Institute of Directors. The UK's forthcoming departure from the EU was already making it hard for British businesses and the foreign multinationals who invest in the UK to plan for the future. A weakened Conservative administration or a coalition will complicate the policy environment, meaning companies will find it harder to make decisions on investment and hiring. Adam Marshall, director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said the split vote generated further uncertainty for business communities, who were already grappling with currency fluctuations, rising costs and the potential impact of Brexit. Election 2017: how the UK voted in 7 charts
UK election and market reaction: what you need to know
UK general election: deadlock is Britain's new normal "The formation of a workable administration that can give voters and businesses confidence around economic management must be the immediate priority," he said. The prospect of much greater Labour influence in parliament and a strengthened hand for Jeremy Corbyn, the party leader, has many unwelcome implications for business. In its manifesto, Labour pledged to renationalise industries, increase business and personal taxation and raise government spending - in diametric opposition to the policy direction that most of the executives running Britain's large public companies would like to see. A main concern was how much the government would focus on the economy, especially as politicians react to the electoral upheaval, with a possible leadership contest in the Conservative party, a drawn-out process of forming a new government, perhaps a coalition, or even another election now all feasible. "Politicians must act responsibly, putting the interests of the country first and showing the world that the UK remains a safe destination for business," said Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the CBI. "It's time to put the economy back to the top of the agenda." Related article Business lobby groups such as the CBI and the Institute of Directors have repeatedly called for greater clarity over a new immigration regime and visa system, and for continued membership of the single market.

3 Books That Delve Into What Work Means to Us Work, and our relationship to it, is evolving. On Thursday, Google.org, the tech giant's philanthropic arm, announced a $50 million initiative to support organizations preparing people for the changing job market. Employee priorities are shifting, and companies, particularly in the tech world, are responding by offering enhanced benefits, more flex time (like summer hours) and other in-office perks. In the three novels below, the characters" time at the office interacts with their personal lives in various ways - in one case the former threatens to completely engulf the latter.

370 pp. Simon & Schuster. (2015) When we meet Alice Pearce, she is "the tiniest bit smug" about her ability to juggle her part-time job - she is the books editor at a women's magazine - with her duties as a wife and mother to three young children. This equilibrium is upended when her husband decides to leave his law firm to start his own practice, forcing Alice to find a job that will support them in the interim. She ends up at Scroll, a company whose mission is "to reinvent reading the way Starbucks reinvented coffee" by creating lounges for bibliophiles. Alice quickly becomes harried and distracted, finding her work-life balance out of whack. The author's observations of Scroll are shrewd and humorous, and she realistically describes the experience of being a working mom. Photo By Joshua Ferris
400 pp. Little, Brown and Company. (2007) Set in a white-collar advertising office in Chicago, Joshua Ferris's novel offers brilliant commentary on the daily minutiae and drudgery of a corporate setting. Though the book is written in the collective "we," a reflection of the groupthink drilled into employees during team meetings, a number of characters are introduced throughout the book: a copywriter writing his first novel, the senior art director and office gossip, and many more. Ferris's observations range from droll - such as when he describes the magnetic draw of free morning bagels - to sad. One night, for instance, the employees" supervisor drives to the office for solace before an impending surgery, comforted by the familiarity of an assignment. As workers are laid off and the employees race to develop a pitch for a mysterious pro bono client, Ferris explains the ways in which work can function as both a source of and welcome respite from the stress of daily life.

491 pp. Alfred A. Knopf/ McSweeney's Books. (2013) At a time when tech behemoths are exerting more influence, you might revisit Dave Eggers" semi-dystopian novel about a young woman named Mae Holland who is hired by a company called the Circle, where the credo is "All that happens must be known." Mae, a new hire, is happy to participate in the company's efforts to make privacy obsolete in order to ingratiate herself with her bosses. She agrees, for instance, to "go transparent," wearing a camera lens to give people 24/7 access to her life. But as the Circle becomes an ever more intrusive presence in Mae's life, Eggers uses her story to explore how the tension between privacy and technology might increasingly affect the future of work.

Party leaders demand Cameron joins debate Mr Cameron is accused of seeking to block the debates because it would risk eroding his personal lead in the polls and boost his rivals, particularly Nigel Farage. The letters say the encounters during the 2010 election campaign "were watched by more than 20 million people and enthusiastically endorsed by all those who took part, including yourself." "In recent days, you have announced that you are unwilling to take part in debates as proposed by the main broadcasters for the 2015 General Election," the missives added. "I believe it would be a major setback to our democratic processes if these debates were not repeated in 2015 because of one politician's unwillingness to participate. "I hope you will agree that the decision as to who should take part in the televised debates should not be in the hands of any party leader, each of whom inevitably has their own political interests to defend. It must be a decision independently and objectively arrived at." David Cameron will join a televised debate but he insists the Greens must also take part Photo: REUTERS The leaders insisted the broadcasters were under strict obligations of political impartiality and had made an "objective determination" about who should participate. "While each of the other parties invited to take part in the debates has their own views on the proposal and the levels of participation offered and will continue to make their case in this regard, we all accept the independence and impartiality of the broadcasters and have committed to take part in the debates," the letters added. "It would be unacceptable if the political self-interest of one party leader were to deny the public the opportunity to see their leaders debate in public. "Therefore, if you are unwilling to reconsider, the three party leaders who have committed to participate will ask the broadcasters to press ahead with the debates and provide an empty podium should you have a last minute change of heart. "These debates are not the property of the politicians and I do not believe the public will accept lightly the prospect of any politician seeking to block them." Mr Cameron has said he would consider taking part in a televised election debate organised by internet companies. Douglas Alexander, the Labour shadow foreign secretary, said Mr Cameron was trying to "bully" broadcasters. Danny Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, accused the Conservative leadership of "wriggling and looking for any excuse it can" to get out of taking part. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "David Cameron, if he wants to put the kibosh on these debates, should pay a high political price for that." Mr Farage said the BBC editorial guidelines left it "within your rights" to hold a debate even if Mr Cameron refused to take part. He said the British public had a "right to see these issues discussed." Mr Farage noted that the Conservatives had omitted Europe and immigration from its six election priorities. "In 2010 David Cameron did very badly in these debates, and was seen to be the loser. I feel very strongly he would rather not debate these things with me on national television." The letter sent by each party leader in full Dear David, In 2010 the televised leaders" debates provided an unprecedented opportunity for voters to see the party leaders debate the critical issues facing our country. The debates were watched by more than 20 million people and enthusiastically endorsed by all those who took part, including yourself. In recent days, you have announced that you are unwilling to take part in debates as proposed by the main broadcasters for the 2015 General Election. I believe it would be a major setback to our democratic processes if these debates were not repeated in 2015 because of one politician's unwillingness to participate. I hope you will agree that the decision as to who should take part in the televised debates should not be in the hands of any party leader, each of whom inevitably has their own political interests to defend. It must be a decision independently and objectively arrived at. As you know, the broadcasters, who have strict obligations of political impartiality under the BBC Charter or their OFCOM licences, have together made such an objective determination. While each of the other parties invited to take part in the debates has their own views on the proposal and the levels of participation offered and will continue to make their case in this regard, we all accept the independence and impartiality of the broadcasters and have committed to take part in the debates. It would be unacceptable if the political self-interest of one party leader were to deny the public the opportunity to see their leaders debate in public. Therefore, if you are unwilling to reconsider, the three party leaders who have committed to participate will ask the broadcasters to press ahead with the debates and provide an empty podium should you have a last minute change of heart. These debates are not the property of the politicians and I do not believe the public will accept lightly the prospect of any politician seeking to block them.

Beatrix Potter story written more than a century ago to be published A story written by Beatrix Potter more than a century ago is to be published for the first time. The lost manuscript for The Tale of Kitty-In-Boots was rediscovered two years ago by publisher Jo Hanks. It was way back in 1914 that Miss Potter told her own publisher that she had written a new story about "a well-behaved prime black Kitty cat, who leads rather a double life" but it never made it to print. The only picture that Beatrix Potter ever finished of Kitty-In-Boots, which she wrote in 1914 but was never published. There are now plans to release the book this September for the first time Veteran illustrator Quentin Blake, 83, known for his work on Roald Dahl's classic children's books, will bring the characters to life for the new story, and this is his first picture for the new book The tale will be published in September, which also marks the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth. Veteran illustrator Quentin Blake, 83, known for his work on Roald Dahl's classic children's books, will bring the characters to life for the new story. The illustrations for the other Potter books were drawn by the author herself. He said: "It seemed almost incredible when, early in 2015, I was sent the manuscript of a story by Beatrix Potter, one which had lain unpublished for a hundred years and which, with the exception of a single drawing, she had never illustrated." Blake said he liked the story of Kitty-in-Boots instantly and added: "I have a strange feeling that it might have been waiting for me." Hanks, publisher of Beatrix Potter's works for Penguin Random House, said Blake was the perfect choice to illustrate the new tale because he 'understands what makes a story engaging for children and adults, just as Potter did'. He found a reference to the book in an out-of-print literary history of the author which mentioned Potter's letter to her publisher. Potter's children's classic, The Tale Of Peter Rabbit, has enchanted generations after being picked up in 1902 by British children's publisher Frederick Warne & Co.

'Pregnant' Carey Mulligan on day off from BBC filming She's on a strict filming schedule while she's been filming upcoming BBC crime drama Collateral. So a day off was a welcome break for Carey Mulligan, who is thought to be pregnant with her second child thanks to her seemingly expanding midriff. Wearing a loose-fitting black shirt, the Great Gatsby actress, 32, was seen sauntering along with a shopping bag, clutching a coffee (presumably decaf) in one hand. Scroll down for video Despite the looseness of the top, there was a stretch at the waist where her apparent rounded tummy seemed prominent. The fresh-faced star - who is expecting the supposed child, which will be her second with her husband Marcus Mumford - went make-up free. She scraped back her brunette locks and wore a pair of shades as she strolled along. She had dressed for comfort in a pair of loose-fitting black trousers with white designs on them and a pair of sandals. Under wraps: Despite the looseness of the top, there was a stretch at the waist where her apparent bump was showing Visibly displaying the signs of a rounded tummy, the actress was dressed for the balmy weather in a Bardot-style dress for a Nobu date night with Marucs last week. They left the restaurant hand-in-hand after sharing a meal at one of London's premium eateries, popular among stars. The famously tight-lipped actress has yet to confirm she's expecting a second child, though her first pregnancy was similarly shrouded in secrecy. Reports first emerged about a surprise pregnancy last month when super-slim Carey was suddenly spotted with a rounded stomach at hot spot Sexy Fish. She and husband Marcus, who married in 2012, welcomed their first child Evelyn in 2015, three years after tying the knot. She's now returning to television work with a four-part BBC drama about a fatal shooting in London. Carey plays the detective trying to get to the bottom of the shooting, amid an ensemble cast that includes Billie Piper, John Simm and Nicola Walker. It's her first small screen part since The Walker, in 2015, and follows the hugely successful film Suffragette, in which she played Maud Watts. Meanwhile, Marcus will be headlining Latitude Festival next month with his band after making a comeback in late 2016.

Nintendo Switch fans are in store for a fantastic Christmas this year, especially if the latest games leak turns out to be true. Upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusives pencilled in for 2019 include Astral Chain, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Daemon X Machina and Pokemon Sword/Shield. That's in addition to a brand new portable only Nintendo Switch console, and lots of third-party game ports. But despite all of the major Nintendo Switch exclusives having release dates, there's no word on when Luigi's Mansion 3 will be out... until now. According to a leak on Amazon (via Gamingbolt), the Christmas 2019 Nintendo Switch lineup is about to get even better. Pre-order customers have received emails informing them that Luigi's Mansion 3 will launch on October 4. This would mean a new Zelda game in September, followed by Luigi's Mansion 3 in October and Pokemon Sword/Shield in November. Nintendo Switch owners would be well advised to start saving now! And based on Nintendo's most recent announcement, there could be a lot of new Nintendo Switch owners by the time Christmas rolls around. Nintendo unveiled the Switch Lite in a surprise announcement earlier this week. The slimmer, lighter and more affordable console is said to be designed for gamers on the go. "Nintendo Switch Lite is a compact, lightweight addition to the Nintendo Switch family, with integrated controls," the company explains. "Nintendo Switch Lite supports all Nintendo Switch software that can be played in handheld mode. "It's great for people who have lots of opportunities to play outside, and also for anyone who wants to play online or local wireless multiplayer with friends or family who already own a flagship Nintendo Switch console. "As a dedicated handheld gaming device, Nintendo Switch Lite does not support output to a TV." The Nintendo Switch Lite has a September 20 release date, and will launch at a lower price.

Crystal balling on an album that is scheduled to be released next year, based on one source from a less than fully reliable source. Dennis Brown (talk)
Note There are a lot of albums from this band that have popped up recently from the same contributor (obviously in good faith, but the criteria isn't AGF), and I'm not so sure any of them (or the band) passes wp:music. It would be swell if someone who works in that area regularly to look at it, as they would be a better judge than I. The issue with this article/album are more clear. Dennis Brown (talk)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk)
Comment The band is def. notable (the article is a GA, for one). I suspect this album will be notable too. The nominator says "next year", which is true, albeit only it's only January 24. Lugnuts (talk)
Oh and Keep, based on the sources I found and added in about 1 minute. Lugnuts (talk)
The problem with "I suspect this album will be notable too" is CRYSTALBALL, without sources. As for the other albums, if they have their own article, EACH album has to establish notability on its own, it isn't inherited. Again, I don't know everything about wp:music, but general notability makes that clear, that is why I was asking for someone who deals with wp:music to review all the new album additions, which don't seem to provide notability info. Dennis Brown (talk)
Did you read my other comment? You know, the one about adding sources? This AFD isn't about their other albums, and that has no bearing on this album. Maybe you'd like to list them individually for deletion. Lugnuts (talk)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, causa sui (talk)
Keep – I was able to find a handful of sources about Resolution, including Exclaim!

As for why this testimony was withheld from the public for nearly a decade: "Sources said the police at the time showed her a photo of Yale Professor James Van de Velde — Jovin's thesis adviser, whom police had publicly identified as a suspect — to determine if he was the man she saw. They also took her in an unmarked van to Van de Velde's office so she could look at him in person. She told them Van de Velde was not the man she saw running, and investigators didn't contact her again, sources said." Subsequently, the Jovin Task Force began hanging a sketch of this person around the neighborhood in which he was spotted. On July 16, 2008, the Jovin Task Force provided further details of Jovin's final email, written in German to a female friend, about GRE test study materials Jovin would leave for her to pick up. "Jovin wrote that she would retrieve the books and leave them in the foyer of her apartment for the classmate to pick up, giving her classmate the code to her apartment in case Jovin was not in the building." The materials were never returned, nor has anyone ever come forward as the borrower, leading many to speculate the borrower may have possibly been involved in her killing. Furthermore, Jovin's specific use of the word "someone" when referring to the borrower implies to many she did not know this borrower very well. == Investigation ==
Four days after the murder, the name of Jovin's thesis advisor, James Van de Velde, was leaked to the New Haven Register as the prime suspect in the case. Fifteen months later, criminologist John Pleckaitis, then a sergeant at the New Haven Police Department, admitted to Hartford Courant reporter Les Gura: "From a physical evidence point of view, we had nothing to tie him to the case... I had nothing to link him to the crime." Famed criminologist Henry Lee's offer to reconstruct the crime scene was accepted by the police but not carried out. Based on subsequent questioning of the Yale community, and on Van de Velde's name being released prior to the completion of his police interrogation, it became apparent the NHPD had for undisclosed reasons become convinced that Van de Velde and Jovin must have been having an illicit or unrequited affair – a notion that friends of Jovin, including her boyfriend, considered wholly unlikely. Nevertheless, though not revealing any physical evidence or a motive, the NHPD continued to maintain that their naming of Van de Velde was not presumptuous. Yale, under the guidance of Dean Richard H. Brodhead, then chose to cancel Van de Velde's spring 1999 classes citing his presence as a "major distraction" for students, damaging his reputation and academic career. In 2000, Van de Velde and colleagues strongly and eventually publicly encouraged Yale to hire their own private investigators to study the case. In December, 2000, under additional pressure from the Jovin family, Yale relented and hired the team of Andrew Rosenzweig, former chief investigator with the New York district attorney's office, and Patrick Harnett, a former commanding officer of the New York Police Department's major crime squad. It was at their insistence that the NHPD allowed the state forensics lab to analyze Jovin's fingernail scrapings for DNA. Neither the resulting DNA nor the Fresca bottle fingerprint were a match to Van de Velde, prompting Harnett to label Van de Velde "Richard Jewell with a Ph.D.," a reference to an innocent man whose life was ruined by police publicity in 1996. Yale has not made its investigation public, nor explained its secrecy. The NHPD responded by contacting the US Navy, Van de Velde's primary employer at the time, urging them to reconsider their contract work with him—going so far as to travel to Washington, DC to meet with Navy officials. A thorough review was conducted that resulted in Van de Velde being allowed to keep his job and his security clearance. Sensing the investigation had dead-ended on him, Van de Velde undertook a letter writing campaign urging the Connecticut state cold case unit to take over the case. When the Chief State's Attorney refused, Van de Velde began pressing the police to undertake additional state-of-the-art forensic tests on the evidence. On September 1, 2006, nearly eight years after the murder, the Jovin investigation was officially classified a cold case and moved to Connecticut's Cold Case Unit. However, the case was never added to the Cold Case Unit web site nor was there any mention of the reward being offered—prompting Van de Velde once again to write letters of complaint.

Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (LDP) Notification of Sources of Distribution Under Section 19 (a) NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This press release provides shareholders of Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: LDP) (the "Fund") with information regarding the sources of the distribution to be paid on November 29, 2019 and cumulative distributions paid fiscal year-to-date. In December 2016, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. The policy gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares. The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions. At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year. The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are expressed per common share.

November 30, 2019* Source Per Share

Amount Distributions Net Investment Income Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gains Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gains Return of Capital (or other Capital Source) Total Current Distribution You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The amounts and sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional adjustments.
The Fund's Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2019 (January 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund's Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2019. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending October 31, 2019 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2019. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.

Stanley Black & Decker Supports Wounded Warrior Project "We are humbled and honored to empower our country's warriors," said Jon Howland, Vice President, DEWALT Marketing. "Through our partnership with Wounded Warrior Project, we're able to help make a difference in the lives of men and women who've sacrificed so much to keep us safe. I'd like to thank the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) for their participation in this particular donation. We collected signatures of support from various members of the MCAA family during their national convention here in San Antonio. It is truly a tremendous honor and privilege to be part of both Wounded Warrior Project and the MCAA." Since 2003, WWP has been a tireless advocate for our nation's finest, improving the lives of over half a million warriors and their families through free programs and services. WWP serves warriors by connecting them with one another and their communities. Programs also focus on mental and physical health and wellness, financial wellness, independence, government relations, and community relations and partnerships. "The warriors we proudly serve can connect with life-changing programs and services because of the generosity of Stanley Black & Decker," said WWP CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. "But the need is great and growing for warriors. According to a Harvard study, the costs of care for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans over the next 40 years could reach $4 trillion to $6 trillion. And the war isn't just affecting veterans. Family members work to adjust to a new normal when they give up paid employment to become unpaid caregivers, affecting their quality of life. To meet these growing needs, Wounded Warrior Project will be there to deliver on its promise to connect, serve, and empower warriors and their families."

Manchester United recruit new scout in academy overhaul By Jack Gaughan for MailOnline
Manchester United's relentless academy overhaul will see a scout, dedicated to find talents who are as young as eight, arrive. Nicky Butt has overseen a huge revamp since his appointment in February last year as United attempt to bridge the gap with rivals Manchester City. More than 50 scouts have been taken on worldwide, with the club keen to make particular inroads in South America. Share this article Share 426 shares But the new role, assisting the 'lead phase scout' between the Under 9 and Under 11 sides, will be focused purely on local footballers. The scramble to sign youngsters is becoming increasingly fraught in the North West, with Liverpool banned from signing academy players and fined £100,000 for tapping up a Stoke City schoolboy. Liverpool, Manchester City, United and Everton are often fighting to land the same future stars. Scouts from the majority of Football League clubs are spotted at under-age games on Saturday mornings throughout the region as they aim to steel a march on their rivals. And United's recruitment drive will intensify with the addition of yet another body. Share this article Share 426 shares Share or comment on this article

Spotify's Apple App Store complaint carries'meaningful risk': KeyBanc Spotify's App Store complaint - filed with the European Commission's antitrust regulators and revealed Wednesday - carries "meaningful risk" for Apple and its burgeoning services revenue, analysts for KeyBanc said in a note Wednesday. The complaint takes issue with Apple's control of its App Store, claiming the company deprives consumers of choice and imposes unfair restrictions and fees on competitors. Apple takes a 30 percent cut of most in-app purchases made through the App Store, which disproportionately affects subscription companies like Spotify. "We believe Spotify is largely on the right side in both facts and principle, which creates risk that App Store policy terms will be forcibly changed in a way that negatively impacts Services revenue and Apple's brand," analysts at KeyBanc wrote in the note. Apple prevents companies from linking to alternative payment methods that would circumvent the 30-percent cut, which KeyBanc says "holds no practical purpose other than to force competitive services into higher cost structures and unfairly tax service activity on the iOS platform." App Store revenue continues to rise, as more subscription companies launch on the service. KeyBanc estimates App Store revenue will total $13.4 billion and account for 12 percent of Apple's gross profit for the fiscal year 2019. Apple's Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri attributed part of that growth to third-party app subscribers during the company's most recent earnings call, but downplayed the importance of any one subscriber. "Our subscription business has become very large and diversified, covering many different categories, from entertainment to health and fitness to lifestyle," Maestri said. "More than 30,000 third-party subscription apps are available today on the App Store, and the largest of them accounts for only 0.3 percent of our total Services revenue." The situation could get more complicated as Apple plans to release more of its own first-party streaming services. The company is expected to announce new video and news subscription services at an event at its headquarters on March 25. Apple has not yet issued a response to Spotify's complaint. - CNBC's Elizabeth Schulze contributed to this report. WATCH: Spotify files an EU antitrust complaint against Apple

Mother's appeal to help catch son's killer THE family of a man murdered in Dunfermline have appealed to the local community to come forward to help find his killer as a £10,000 reward is being posted for information. Duncan Banks, 39, was found dead within his home in Skye Avenue, Dunfermline, on Monday September 28, having sustained significant head injuries. In a statement released by Police Scotland, Mr Banks" mother, Dorothy, said: "As a mother, it is your worst nightmare to have to bury your child, yet that is the reality I am dealing with following Duncan's murder. "Duncan wouldn't hurt a fly and doted on his family. He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend and his death has left a huge void in our family, which we are struggling to cope with at this time. "This has been undoubtedly, the most distressing and unsettling period of our lives and it has been made all the more difficult given that we do not know who killed Duncan, and more importantly, why. "We know that Duncan had his own personal issues and had been continuing to battle drug addiction. But to be killed in the manner he was is both cruel and unnecessary and I believe that his spirit will not be at peace until we get justice for him. "At this time we cannot lay Duncan to rest while the investigation to find his killer continues, so I would like to make a plea to anyone who knows something to do the right thing and tell the police anything they know. "Someone somewhere must know something. "I would finally like to thank all of our friends, neighbours and other members of the community for their kind words and support during this time." Officers have been conducting various local inquiries to trace whoever was responsible for his death and believe someone from the local community has vital information that can assist with this investigation. Detective Chief Inspector Keith Hardie from the major investigation unit said: "From our inquiries, I am now satisfied that Duncan was alive at around 9.30am on Sunday September 27 and was probably dead at 11.30am on the same day. "That focuses our investigation and gives us a two-hour window when we believe Duncan was murdered." "Our colleagues at Crimestoppers are also offering a reward of up to £10,000 upon conviction."

Philip Hammond praises improvements in Bahrain's human rights record He was charged after he tweeted that former members of the Bahrain military had defected to serve with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ""Many #Bahrain men who joined #terrorism & #ISIS came from security institutions and those institutions were the first ideological incubator," he wrote. He was arrested after returning from a trip to Europe, where he addressed the human rights subcommittee of the European Parliament, and attended the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, and campaigners said the charges were an attempt to punish him for embarrassing the kingdom abroad. Britain has strongly backed Bahrain despite a crackdown on protests in 2011. Last month Mr Hammond announced a new joint venture to expand a facility the Royal Navy enjoys for warships patrolling the Gulf there to a full base, to be paid for by Bahrain, which would be large enough to moor Britain's new aircraft carriers. The decision was met with protests by members of the country's Shia majority. Mr Rajab described it to The Telegraph as an example of Britain's complicity in Bahrain's human rights crackdown. "We have been struggling for many years and the British government has always taken the side of the oppressive regime and all the dictators in the Gulf region," he said then. On Monday, the authorities also said Ali Salman, the head of the main opposition party, Al-Wefaq, would face trial on charges of promoting the violent overthrow of Bahrain's political system. Mr Salman has always said he supports peaceful change to a constitutional monarchy, but the authorities see him as part of a wider, Iranian-backed plot to oust them. Mr Hammond said he was aware that Bahrain still had "quite a long way to go" in its attempts to improve its democratic and human rights record. "We continually remind the Bahrainis of their commitment and how much further they have to go," he said. "But I think we should support them to get there." He was speaking in reply to Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour MP, who asked why Britain continued to sell arms to the country. "Our reward is to provide yet more arms and a British military base there," he said. "Shouldn't we really engage with them on solving the human rights issues and freeing the opposition leader rather than this hands-off approach on arms sales?" Amnesty International condemned Mr Hammond's defence. "It's hard to see what's right about a direction of travel which is leading to the jailing of government critics, the holding of prisoners of conscience and persistent reports of torture in detention," said Allan Hogarth, its head of policy and government affairs. "Mr Hammond needs to urgently revise his rose-tinted view of Bahrain."

Kim Hei-sook (김혜숙; born c. 1955) is a South Korean academic and university administrator. She has been a professor of philosophy at Ewha Womans University since 1987, and was elected president of the university in 2017. Kim began her studies at Ewha, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature in 1976 and a Master of Arts in Christian philosophy in 1979. She completed a doctorate at the University of Chicago in 1987, with a thesis on epistemology. Kim subsequently returned to Ewha to take up a professorship in the philosophy department. She specialises in the philosophy of art, epistemology, and women's studies, and has served as an associate editor of the International Feminist Journal of Politics. She won a Fulbright Scholarship in 1995. As co-chair of the faculty council, Kim was one of the leaders of protests against Choi Kyung-hee, who resigned as president of Ewha in October 2016 over corruption charges and was later sentenced to imprisonment. In early 2017, Kim was elected as Choi's replacement as university president, winning the first-ever direct election for the post. In a ballot of the university's students, faculty, and alumni, she won 33.9 percent of the first-round vote and 57.3 percent in the final round. The election process was somewhat controversial, as there was initially an age limit of 61 for candidates; some commentators accused the university board of setting this limit specifically to exclude Kim, who was 62. Kim took office on 31 May 2017, to a term expiring on 28 February 2021. During her election campaign, she promised to "return Ewha to its original state and restore its honor". ==References==

Braves Field was a baseball park located in Boston, Massachusetts. Today the site is home to Nickerson Field on the campus of Boston University. The stadium was home of the Boston Braves of the National League from 1915–1952, prior to the Braves' move to Milwaukee in 1953. The stadium hosted the 1936 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and Braves home games during the 1948 World Series. The Boston Red Sox used Braves Field for their home games in the 1915 and 1916 World Series since the stadium had a larger seating capacity than Fenway Park. Braves Field was the site of Babe Ruth's final season, playing for the Braves in 1935. From 1929 to 1932, the Boston Red Sox played select regular season games periodically at Braves Field. On May 1, 1920, Braves Field hosted the longest major league baseball game in history – 26 innings, which eventually ended in a 1–1 tie. Braves Field was also home to multiple professional football teams between 1929 and 1948, including the first home of the National Football League (NFL) franchise that became the Washington Redskins. The pro football Braves played at the ballpark in their inaugural season of 1932, then were at Fenway Park for four seasons as the Boston Redskins before the move south in 1937 to Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. Located on Commonwealth Avenue at Babcock Street, the baseball field was aligned northeast, much as Fenway Park has been since it opened in April 1912. Most of the stadium was demolished in 1955, but significant portions of the original structure still stand and make up part of the Nickerson Field sports complex on the campus of Boston University. ==Professional football==
While built for baseball and having a rich baseball history, Braves Field briefly served as host for football teams. Braves Field was one of two homes (with Fenway Park) of the Boston Bulldogs of the first American Football League (in 1926) and the Boston Shamrocks of the second AFL (in 1936 and 1937). The National Football League's Pottsville Maroons were sold and relocated to Braves Field in 1929 as the Boston Bulldogs. In 1932, Braves Field became home of the football Boston Braves, a National Football League expansion franchise, owned by George Preston Marshall. The next year, after a 4–4–2 season, the Boston Braves Football franchise moved to Fenway Park and changed its name to the Redskins. In 1937 the franchise relocated and become today's Washington Redskins. Later, the Boston Yanks played a few games at Braves Field when Fenway Park was unavailable. ==Baseball history==
Before the Braves became the first modern-era franchise to relocate, in 1952, the Boston Braves franchise had been in Boston since 1871. Before Braves Field, the franchise had played at South End Grounds, with play at Congress Street Grounds in 1894 while South End Grounds was rebuilt following the May 15, 1894 Roxbury Fire. Shortly after the Boston Red Sox opened Fenway Park in 1912, Braves owner James Gaffney purchased the former Allston Golf Club, one mile west of Fenway Park to build a new park for the Braves. Construction of the $600,000 Braves Field began on March 20, 1915 and was completed before the end of the 1915 season. The park was constructed entirely of steel (approx 750 tons) and an estimated 8 million pounds of concrete. Braves Field officially opened on August 18, 1915 with 46,000 in attendance to see the Braves defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1. Braves Park was the largest stadium built in that era, with 40,000 capacity and a trolley system leading to the park. Braves Field was nicknamed The Wigwam by fans. Later it was nicknamed The Bee Hive and the name changed to National League Park, from 1936–1941, a period during which the owners changed the nickname of the team to the Boston Bees. The renaming of the team and stadium were both eventually dropped. During this span, it hosted the fourth Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1936. With its capacity to hold more fans than Fenway Park, Braves Field was used by the Red Sox in the 1915 and 1916 World Series; with Braves Field still under construction, the Braves had used Fenway Park for their World Series Title in 1914. Looking at design, James Gaffney wanted to see the game played in a wide open field conducive to allowing numerous inside-the-park home runs. Thus, the stadium was built in what was, at the time, the outskirts of Boston, in a large rectangular plot, contrasting with the cozy and lopsided block containing Fenway Park.

The story of Leeds's title win in 1992 told in a new film While Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino carry out their duel over the Premier League title in London, a significant anniversary has not been missed in the north of England. Wednesday will mark the 25th year since the league title was last won by an English manager. Howard Wilkinson's name may not roll freely off the tongues of most fans born after the advent of the Premier League, but he remains a hero in Leeds. In 1992 he managed to lead a relatively unfancied Leeds United side to the summit of the English game. That has been celebrated by a new film, Do You Want to Win?, which looks at Wilkinson's first three seasons in charge of a side that went from second division also-rans to champions in blistering fashion. Share this article Share 186 shares The scale of Wilkinson's achievement is not regularly discussed, sandwiched as it was between the end of the old league system and the beginning of the Premier League. But in the form of the film, he finally has a tribute worthy of what he accomplished in the late 80s and early 90s. The timeline of his success, for example, directly matches Leicester's promotion and subsequent Premier League title. Leeds were at a low ebb when Wilkinson was plucked from Sheffield Wednesday at the recommendation of Bobby Robson. The glory days under Don Revie were long gone and the club were more famous for off-field violence than any on-field accomplishment. But Wilkinson changed that. This was a manager in the old school sense of the word, the person from whom all achievements stemmed. It was Wilkinson that took advantage of Alex Ferguson's decision to cut Gordon Strachan loose, the first step in forming his team of winners. Strachan was told he would never play again by Ferguson, a decision that came back to bite him. Wilkinson also knew that getting rid of John Sheridan - a cult icon at the club but a great difficulty off the field - was a key step to moulding a team in his image. And Wilkinson insisted that Vinnie Jones was the right player to add at the start of the journey, despite his reputation. He wanted him to fix a broken dressing room. Jones attended the premiere on Monday night, a Hollywood star who has revealed in the past that the only photo he has from his footballing days on his wall is in a Leeds kit. It is also the actor who provided the star turn in the film. In 1989-90, Jones played a key role as Leeds won promotion. He was the cult hero to end all cult heroes. Children copied his haircut. As he puts it himself in the film: "Michael Jackson weren't as popular as me in Leeds." But on arrival in the top flight, he was replaced in the first-team by Gary McAllister. In the movie, the hard-man admits that he broke down after watching a game against Manchester United that he was dropped for and had to leave Elland Road. "I used to be in tears at the time in anger," Jones said. He would depart - but only after pulling a shotgun on Wilkinson. They were on their way to Luton when Wilkinson felt metal against his skull. Jones commented: 'Feeling lucky, punk?' and got a game. It would be one of his last at the club, even though Wilkinson understood the joke. The fact he returned for the production and premiere shows how much that season and a bit meant to him. The film does not brush over those bad moments. Promotion was accompanied by terrible scenes on Bournemouth beach, with over 100 Leeds supporters arrested on one of the hottest days of the year, which led to a banner draped on the town hall apologising during the trophy presentation. The FA threatened to shut the club down in the event of any further trouble. But the great highs are also covered well. It was a time of revolution at Leeds. There was a battle against the racism that was commonplace on the terraces, one that a combination of the club and fans groups succeeded in. Efforts were made to send players out to the local community to foster a greater spirit. The commercial side of the club was fixed by the dynamic team of owner Leslie Silver and managing director Bill Fotherby. Leeds succeeded. There was promotion followed by a fourth place finish and then the league title in 1992. This occurred despite the difficulty of facing down Man Utd, who were looking to win a first title since 1967 and finally looked capable of doing so under Ferguson. Ferguson would later comment that Leeds had not won the title - his side had simply lost it. The anger at that suggestion comes out in interviews with players, who clearly believe they were worthy champions.

Perhaps Federer's best asset headed into this final weekend is his imposing record at this tournament. He hasn't lost a match in Flushing since 2003, a string of 32 victories. Rafael Nadal, the new no. 1, looked formidable in his quarterfinal match Wednesday evening, but he has yet to reach a final in Flushing, never mind win the tournament. It took Nadal three trips to the Wimbledon final to dethrone Federer, and he needed the best performance in the history of tennis to do it. If he reaches the final, will he dethrone Federer in New York on his first try? If he does, he would deal Federer a blow more severe than the one he dealt him at the All England Club a few months ago. Federer isn't just the people's favorite in New York because he has struggled this year. He's loved because tennis fans, and certainly tennis fans in this city, appreciate excellence. For four years here, Federer has redefined the term. This weekend he has a chance to show that he is not done dazzling just yet. Mr. Perrotta is a senior editor at Tennis magazine.

Marty Scurll Makes Surprise Appearance at NWA 'Into the Fire' Pay-Per-View One of the biggest behind-the-scenes stories in wrestling is where Marty Scurll will appear in next after his Ring of Honor contract expired. And to the surprise of many, "The Villain" arrived at NWA's Into the Fire pay-per-view on Saturday. In the main event, Nick Aldis defeated James Storm in a 2 out of 3 falls match to retain his NWA World Title. After the match, Aldis told the crowd that there is no one who can take his championship from him. Scurll's music played as the umbrella-wielding wrestler appeared from the crowd. The two had a staredown in the ring as Aldis left, and the show went off the air. Prior to his appearance at NWA Into the Fire, Scurll wrestled at Ring of Honor's Final Battle show on Friday. Scurll teamed with Flip Gordon in a losing effort against Bandito and Flamita. Scurll wrestled for Ring of Honor since 2016, but his contract reportedly ended with the Maryland-based promotion on November 30 with both sides agreeing for Scurll to work the Final Battle show. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer reported that Scurll signed up for one date with an independent company, but it was being kept a secret. It would seem that Marty's surprise appearance at Into the Fire was that surprise. Marty Scurll and Nick Aldis faced off for the NWA World Title during the Crockett Cup back in April with Aldis getting the better of "The Villain." Scurll's intentions to take the prestigious championship from Aldis is clear, but fans will want to turn in to NWA's weekly show Powerrr on Tuesday to see the direction the promotion is going. Fans can rewatch NWA Into the Fire on Fite TV. Scurll's appearance in NWA comes as a surprise considering his ties to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He, Matt and Nick Jackson (the Young Bucks), and Cody were all part of the Bullet Club faction in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor in the self-proclaimed group, The Elite. Cody and the Young Bucks jumped from Ring of Honor when their contracts were up to create their own promotion called All Elite Wrestling. Many wrestling fans believed that when Scurll's Ring of Honor contract was up, he would join his friends at AEW. While Marty is set to start a program with Nick Aldis at NWA, there's still a chance that Scurll can join AEW as the new promotion allows for its wrestlers to appear in other companies. What did you think of Scurll's appearance at Into the Fire? Do you think Marty will join AEW in the near future? Let us know in the comments section.

Has the soggy bottom fallen out of Bake Off? Maybe it's that I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing In Perfect Harmony vibe which is the problem? Plus the fact that the same contestant (Ian) was Star Baker for three weeks in a row. Where is the simmering tension? The gnawing rivalry? The sense that, any minute, there could be cake forks at dawn? Where is Baked Alaskagate when Iain Watters scraped his melted dessert into the bin after it was untimely ripped from the freezer by another contestant? Alas, not one of the remaining bakers emits the delicious sense you always got with Ruby Tandoh that a total torte meltdown was only one imperfectly set jelly away. Some of the types are familiar from previous GBBOs. Scottish Flora is just Martha Collison, the previous youngest contest, only less talented and with a tendency to cover up her deficiencies with macaroons. I had high hopes of Ugne Bubnaityte. Not only did the Lithuanian body-builder have a name like a bad hand of Scrabble, she was ferociously competitive. Given the chance, Ugne looked like she could devour gentle ruminants like Ian and Alvin for lunch. Unfortunately, Ugne overstretched herself with a chocolate hazelnut cake that looked like the clear winner of a Scoop the Poop competition. Less doggy bag than dog poo bag. TV reality shows are designed around something producers call "jeopardy." In order for the viewers to invest in a series and keep watching there has to be an element of suspense: "But will Sally be able to defrost her blackberries and find her specs in time?" You can tell a programme is struggling when the jeopardy has to be whipped up artificially. Like last week, during the Who Could Be In Trouble? spot, when Paul ventured, "Dare I say Ian?"
"Oh, that would be a shocker," said Sue Perkins. What Sue should have said is, "Don't be bloody ridiculous, Paul. Ian has been star baker three times and is a dead cert for the final." Instead, she had to go along with this slightly desperate attempt to inject suspense. It was about as appealing as those boring pitta breads that looked like a heap of smelly inner soles. That said I shall, of course, be watching tonight, and not just for my favourites, Mel and Sue. Who knows, maybe prison governor Paul can take the other Paul hostage, stage a breakout from the tent and demand that perfect Ian comes second? Perhaps Tamal's sunny equanimity will crack and he will pinch Flora's amarettis? Maybe the divine Mary will decree that they have to make a Leaning Tower of Pisa bread and butter pudding wearing a blindfold? Whatever happens, may Bake Off soon rise to golden heights again.

Cancer evades immune system through microRNA Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered how microRNA aids fast-growing cancerous tumors in evading anti-tumor immunity. MicroRNAs are small, noncoding RNA molecules that regulate genes by silencing RNA and have been increasingly implicated in tumor survival. The team found two gene-regulating molecules that alter cell signaling within tumor cells to survive and subvert the body's immune response. The study, published today in Nature Cell Biology, could one day point to a new target for cancer treatment. "The immunological pressure occurring during tumor progression might be harmful for the tumor to prosper," Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, of the Salk Institute, said in a press release. "However, the cancer cells find a way to evade such a condition by restraining the anti-tumor immune response." Cancerous tumors are known to grow so rapidly that they use up their available blood supply, which creates a low-oxygen environment called hypoxia. Under hypoxia, cells start to self-destruct, but the microenvironment surrounding hypoxic tumor tissue sometimes helps to shield the tumor. "Our findings actually indicate how cancer cells respond to a changing microenvironment and suppress anti-tumor immunity through intrinsic signaling," Izpisua Belmonte said. Researchers screened different tumor types for altered levels of microRNAs and identified two microRNAs whose levels increase in hypoxic tumors, miR25 and miR93. The levels of those two microRNAs were measured in the tumors of 148 cancer patients and researchers found that tumors with high levels of miR25 and miR93 led to worse prognosis when compared to tumors with lower levels. The opposite was true for a molecule known as cGAS. The lower the level of cGAS in a tumor, the worse the outcome chances for the patient. "Given these results, we wondered if these two microRNA molecules, miR25 and miR93, could be lowering cGAS levels to create a protective immunity shield for the tumor," said Min-Zu Wu, a research associate in Salk's Gene Expression Laboratory. Using mouse models and tissue samples, researchers showed that a hypoxia state triggered miR25 and miR93 to set off a chain of cell signaling that lowered cGAS levels. Tumor growth can be slowed in mice by inhibiting miR25 and miR93.

12 dead in massive New York City apartment fire Video Transcript for 12 dead in massive New York City apartment fire We move to that deadly four-alarm fire claiming at least 12 lives in New York including a 1-year-old child. You're looking live at the scene. This was the worst fire the city has seen in 25 years, more than 170 firefighters responding to the blaze in the bronx and ABC's Eva pilgrim is at the scene with the latest on the investigation. Good morning to you, Eva. Reporter: Good morning, Paula. Those fire victims forced out into this bitter cold weather. Many of them without coats, without shoes, firefighters fighting this fire this morning. They are going through the building now doing their search and recovery process. Those firefighters got here in three minutes. But for many inside that was not fast enough. 170 firefighters rushing to battle the deadliest fire in new York City in more than 25 years. We have a scene here in which 12 people have died and four are fighting for their lives. Reporter: Cpr performed as victim after victim removed on gurneys. Based on the information we have now, this will rank as one of the worst losses of life to a fire in many, many years. Reporter: The blaze began at 6:30 P.M. When thick, black smoke swept through the five-story buildingment inside these apartments an apocalyptic scene. Parents screaming for help. Children crying. So many unable to get out. This is the worst fire tragedy we have seen in this city in at least a quarter century. Reporter: The only thing not destroyed, the building's exterior. At least three dead from the same family. Burned. Burned. Even little kids on the stretchers burned. It was crazy. Reporter: In one apartment a mother found in a bathtub clutching her baby. Both deceased. Through the window. You came out through the window. Yeah, there was smoke everywhere already. Reporter: This resident managed to reach the fire escape leaving his phone and wallet able to grab a blanket. He was better off than many here who were forced to flee their homes with no coat organization shoes and the red cross rushing to provide warmth to the stunned survivors. No word this morning on the cause of this fire. One of the things investigators will be looking at is why this fire grew so quickly. They are looking now at the possibility that the fire burned into a natural gas line fueling these flames. Dan. A lot of questions, just a horrifying story, Eva. Thank you very much.

North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Warming Oceans: Your Friday Briefing (Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.) Good morning. A dark side of trade in North Korea, the rising temperature of the world's oceans, an exhibition of disgusting foods. Here's what you need to know: • #MeToo in North Korea. Since 2011, Kim Jong-un has eased restrictions on markets in North Korea, creating a growing class of traders and entrepreneurs. Above, a woman at a silk factory in Pyongyang. But the economic activity has a dark side: the sexual harassment and rape of the mostly female traders by market police and other officials, according to a new Human Rights Watch report based on interviews with dozens of female defectors. For traders, resisting such exploitation could mean losing their main source of income and jeopardizing their families" survival. "They consider us toys," said one former female trader who escaped to South Korea. → In South Korea: The Supreme Court acquitted a man who refused mandatory service in the military because of his religious beliefs, a ruling expected to have an impact on the hundreds of conscientious objectors sent to prison each year.
• The U.S. stands by the Saudi crown prince. The Trump administration has decided to stand by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to officials familiar with the deliberations, having concluded that he's almost certain to stay in power. After all, the 33-year-old, above, could rule Saudi Arabia for the next half century. But since the prince has been weakened by the scandal, the White House and other countries in the region have turned to thinking about how to best leverage his vulnerability to their benefit. The U.S. is considering sanctions against the kingdom that would be limited enough to avoid a rupture with Prince Mohammed. In exchange, the White House is hoping to negotiate an end to the blockade of Qatar and the Saudi-led bombing of Yemen. → In Indonesia: The government protested Saudi Arabia's execution of an Indonesian citizen without notice. The woman, a maid, was convicted seven years ago of murdering her Saudi employer; a rights group has said she was defending herself from sexual assault.
• How George Soros become a villain to the right. For years, a loose international network of conservative activists used conspiracy theories and barely concealed anti-Semitism to cast the billionaire investor, Democratic donor and Holocaust survivor as the personification of everything they hate. Those falsehoods are no longer restricted to the dark corners of the internet. The increasingly authoritarian government of Hungary, where Mr. Soros was born, has cracked down on a university he founded. Above, an anti-Soros ad there. Politicians in formerly communist countries like Russia demonize him. In the U.S. he was a target in a recent wave of pipe bombs and has been falsely accused of trying to buy elections. President Trump has even suggested that funded the caravan of Central American migrants headed toward the border. Of note: Mr. Trump's inflammatory language, especially on race and gender, appears to be alienating wealthier white, educated Republican voters crucial to keeping the party's majority in the House. • How do you take the ocean's temperature? There's no punch line - only bad news. Climate change is rapidly warming the world's oceans, killing off crucial aquatic organisms and causing sea levels to rise. A new study in the journal Nature, based on a novel approach to estimating ocean temperatures, found the warming much more rapid than previously thought. In the U.S. elections: While Americans remain politically divided over climate change, there's actually broader consensus around some of the solutions. Here's a visual representation. • India and the U.S. face deadlines on several trade disputes. But President Trump seems most concerned about tariffs on a few hundred high-end Harley-Davidson motorcycles. • Fujian Jinhua, a Chinese state-owned company, and its Taiwanese partner were charged by the U.S. with trying to steal trade secrets from an American technology company. • Indonesian Navy divers found one of the black boxes from Lion Air Flight 610, raising hopes that investigators will be able to explain the crash. [The New York Times] • The last bookstore in Hong Kong selling titles banned by the Communist Party closed, underscoring China's increased pressure on the city. [The Guardian] • Scientists announced a major step toward creating a universal vaccine for many strains of flu, which takes as many as 646,000 lives worldwide every year. [The New York Times] • A 5-year-old with a 15-page résumé: A Chinese boy's over-the-top application for a spot at a Shanghai private school captivated social media after it was leaked.

Machine Learning Canada's universities were among the first to support researchers who were specialists in artificial intelligence - the data systems that allow us to chat with our telephones and that form the basis of cars that drive themselves. But, in what has been an all too common story in Canadian technology, many of those specialists were lured away by big money and big projects in California's Silicon Valley and elsewhere. Steve Lohr, who covers A.I. for The Times, went to Toronto to look at a series of recent initiatives to make it possible and attractive for those specialists to work, and stay, in Canada. Read: Canada Tries to Turn Its A.I. Ideas Into Dollars Meltdown A freezer went on the fritz at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and melted away tens of thousands of years of climate history. Tatiana Schlossberg, a climate change and environment reporter for The Times, wrote that the failure at the Canadian Ice Core Archive "could hinder scientific research into how changes in the atmosphere have shaped Earth's climate history, and how they could affect its future." Read: An Ice Scientist's Worst Nightmare Here are some other articles from The Times over the last week, not necessarily related to Canada and perhaps overlooked, that I found interesting: - As anyone who has been there in recent years can attest, London has become a global crossroads. Sarah Lyall took a deep look into how Britain's departure from the European Union, known as "Brexit," may affect that status. - Unhappy about an ice ax, Mary Anderson and her husband went on to found REI, the cooperative store selling outdoor gear that was something of a prototype for Canada's MEC, also known as the Mountain Equipment Co-Operative. She died in late March at the age of 107. - Three floors underground and next to The New York Times's headquarters is our "morgue" which is "a vast and eclectic archive that houses the paper's historical news clippings and photographic prints, along with its large book and periodicals library, microfilm records and other archival material - federal directories, magazine collections and a variety of indexes." - Radhika Jones offered an appreciation of Agatha Christie and her "endearing, clever characters."

Air pollution 'caused 400,000 premature European deaths in 2016' Poor air quality caused about 400,000 premature deaths in Europe in 2016 - the most recent year data is available - and almost every city-dwelling European is exposed to pollution levels that exceed healthy levels, according to a new report. "Air pollution is currently the most important environmental risk to human health," the European Environment Agency (EEA), the EU's health agency, said in the report released on Wednesday. The report's author, EEA air quality expert Alberto Gonzalez Ortiz, said that while the level of dangerous particles in European cities was dropping, it was not dropping quickly enough. "We have not yet reached the EU standards and of course we are far from reaching the WHO (World Health Organization) standards," Ortiz said. EU law currently requires countries to assess the level, notably in urban areas, of a range of pollutants, including ozone and particulate matter, and take action if certain limits are hit. Particle pollution in cities has become the target of tougher restrictions after the EU's top court ruled in June that cities needed to act if pollution levels were exceeded in a single black spot rather than based on an average across a region.
In July, the European Commission, the EU's executive body, asked the EU's Court of Justice to take action against Spain and Bulgaria over their poor air quality, warning the countries were failing to protect citizens against pollution. EU limits are set per pollutant and in 2017, 16 out of the EU's 28 member states reported at least one case of levels of nitrogen dioxide, a poisonous gas in car exhaust, being higher than the legal EU annual mean concentration. This list includes France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Britain. Some stations in London, for example, reported levels of more than 50 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide per cubic metre of air, compared with the legal EU annual mean concentration of 40 micrograms. On Tuesday, the British government proposed a new environment bill that includes legally binding targets to reduce fine particles in the air and forcing vehicle manufacturers to recall cars that do not meet particle emission standards. Reducing the number of cars is an important factor in reducing air pollution in cities, especially of nitrogen dioxide, Ortiz said. "When we fight pollution, we also fight climate change as well as noise and promote more healthy behaviour. It's a win-win," he added. SOURCE: Reuters news agency

Israel says its blockade is necessary to stop weapons reaching Hamas, with which it has fought three wars since the group seized control of Gaza in 2007. Slideshow (14 Images) Over the past few weeks, Cairo's mediation had helped persuade Israel to lift some restrictions on the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza and expand the Mediterranean zone where Gazans can fish. But Israel scaled back the fishing zone this week in response to rocket fire and shut the border crossings entirely on Saturday after barrages from Gaza.

Lloyd's of London whistleblowing hotline was down for 16 months Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Thousands of people work at Lloyd's city HQ The Bank of England is to begin monitoring Lloyd's of London after it emerged that a whistleblowing hotline at the insurance market was out of service for almost a year and a half. It meant about 1,000 staff had no way to anonymously report issues such as sexual harassment or bullying. Lloyd's has been trying to clean up its image after a wave of female staff complained of being harassed at work. The company said it was "disappointed" by the failure in its controls. About 50,000 people work at the Lloyd's of London insurance market, where brokers and insurers meet to do business. In February, the firm discovered its "Speaking Up" hotline - which was only open to directly-employed staff - had been out of action for 16 months. Lloyd's alerted the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) to the fact at the time. It told the body, which oversees City firms, that it had forgotten to renew its contract with the external company that managed the line. Staff could have used an email address and app to report issues, but not anonymously, the PRA said. The City firm has now agreed to improve its reporting processes and will face "enhanced scrutiny," the PRA added. Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The Lloyd's marketplace is a City institution Lloyd's has been trying change its male-dominated culture following a highly critical article in Bloomberg Businessweek magazine in March. It reported female workers had faced inappropriate comments as well as physical attacks from male colleagues. A survey later commissioned by Lloyd's indicated that 8% of workers had witnessed sexual harassment over the previous 12 months. To tackle the problem, the 330-year-old market has: put curbs on daytime drinking introduced life bans for anyone found to have behaved inappropriately put posters up in the toilets of pubs near its offices in the City of London urged staff to report sexual harassment. Earlier this month, it also warned staff to behave during the Christmas party season. Commenting on the hotline, a spokesman said: "We are extremely disappointed by this failure in our internal controls, which serves to remind us all about the need for constant vigilance when it comes to these essential services. "Lloyd's employees can feel confident that we now have all the right mechanisms in place for them to report any wrongdoing, and that these systems are regularly monitored."

A second strategy, exemplified today by Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, could be called profit maximization. Turkey isn't trying to overturn the existing order, but it doesn't feel responsible for its upkeep, either. Instead, Turkey seeks to extract as much as possible from Western-led institutions like the EU and NATO, while fostering mutually beneficial relationships with countries, such as Russia, Iran, and China, that often seek to undermine those institutions. The third strategy is simple hypocrisy: Europe would talk like a responsible stakeholder, but act like a profit maximizer. This is the path British Prime Minister Theresa May took when she met with Trump in Washington, DC. She said all the right things about NATO, the EU, and free trade, but pleaded for a special deal with the US outside of those frameworks. In the months ahead, many leaders will need to make a bet on whether the liberal order will survive - and on whether they should invest resources in bringing about that outcome. The West collectively has the power to uphold Liberal Order 1.0. But if the Western powers can't agree on what they want from that order, or what their responsibilities are to maintain it, they are unlikely even to try.
