Philadelphia officials announce return to limited indoor dining on Jan. 16
By Shawnette Wilson
FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson spoke with Philadelphia restaurant owners who are thrilled that indoor dining will resume on Jan. 16 in the city.
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia officials have announced that restaurants can reopen to limited dining during the pandemic Tuesday.
Officials delayed reopening restaurants until the COVID-19 cases surge settled down.
However, there are restrictions still for restaurants that wish to reopen. Restaurants must only operate with 25% of approved occupancy limits, they can only allow a maximum table size of four people, and household members only per table.
Everyone must wear masks at all times unless they're seated at a table and eating. Servers must wear masks and face shields.
"We're going to open on Tuesday. We're getting everything together," said Michael Clark as he briefed his staff about the scaled back return to indoor dining in Philly. He owns Reef Restaurant and Lounge. It's a staple in Caribbean cuisine in South Philly at Third and South.
"Our staff was ready and waiting to come back," said Clark. After the last shutdown of indoor dining last November, he tried take-out and delivery for a bit but decided to close. He says it wasn't enough to stay afloat. While others around him continued even with outdoor seating through winter.
"It wasn't going to work for us. We attempted to at the best that we could do just to maintain even if we were going to just maintain our staff. But it was costing us," he said.
Indoor catered events and indoor social gatherings of any size are still forbidden, according to health commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley.
Starting Jan. 19, certain Free Library of Philadelphia locations will reopen to the public, according to Mayor Kenney. People will be allowed to reference desk services, access wifi, and computers, and borrow books.
Officials had previously announced sweeping restrictions back in November that were set to expire at 8 a.m. on Jan. 4, but due to a continued spike in cases, restrictions on indoor dining remained.
Certain businesses were allowed to resume operating on Jan. 4., including museums, outdoor sports, gyms, in-person learning for high schools, and outdoor catered events.
FULL COVERAGE: CORONAVIRUS
Gov Tom Wolf eased restrictions on indoor dining in Pennsylvania on Jan. 4. Philadelphia has acted independently from the rest of the state for most of the pandemic.
Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said they were allotted 9,500 vials of the Moderna vaccine and 9,057 viles of Pfizer vaccine. Vaccinations continued at hospitals as well as at different mass centers and sites around the city in order to increase the number of people vaccinated.
The city announced that there are 637 new cases of the coronavirus bringing a total of 98,215 since the beginning of the pandemic.

A Beautiful Mind: Is Neuroscience the Future of Advertising?
At the end of the day, the mind is a fascinating tool and what drives human decision-making will continue to keep marketers up at night - whether we understand the brain or not.
Jon Buss
Managing Director of Experian's Digital Marketing business
31/07/2015 07:32am BST | Updated July 27, 2016
Every year a new buzzword enters the marketing industry and one of this year's new entrants is 'neuromarketing'. By definition, neuromarketing comes from neuroscience - the study of the brain. When coupled with marketing it's a research method that studies a person's neuro responses or patterns when exposed to particular advertisement or image. Herbert Krugman, one the advertising masterminds of the mad men era, was one of the first to look at a consumer's brain activity and behaviour towards televisions ads. It was revolutionary at the time, but advances in technology and algorithms used to analyse data today have breathed new life into the practice. Whether it's measuring emotional response through electroencephalogram (EEG) testing or brain scans using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in brain activity in specific areas of the mind, neuromarketing is the one method that has the industry talking - whether they buy into its effectiveness or not.
So why are marketers jumping on the neuromarketing bandwagon now? In the last 5 years, advances in technology and data analytics have ushered in a new wave of marketing for brands. Cookies alone, have created a digital footprint of consumers that allows brands to gain access to real-time data about a person's browsing and purchasing habits. While it has led to much more personalised online experiences for consumers, it's also increased saturation. Consumers are now on auto pilot when it comes to responding to the images being thrown at them and have become desensitised to the point where, according to Google, more than half of ads aren't seen.
In a recent study conducted by Criteo and Censuswide, a third of the British public only recall seeing one ad a day and know instantly whether they love or hate a brand. It's no longer enough to serve up personalised ads, brands need to start understanding how to appeal to the emotional triggers and subconscious in a way that will make consumers stop and click. That's where neuromarketing comes in.
Major online retailers such as ASOS, John Lewis and Next have used psychological stimulants on their websites to entice consumers to stay online for longer or add an item to their online shopping cart, with great effect. While other brands have used it for brand positioning to gain an understanding of how consumers will respond emotionally to certain marketing and advertising campaigns.
KFC is a great example. With a saturated market of fast food chains and the increasing importance of 'healthy living' for today's consumers, the business is fighting for market share - despite being such an iconic brand. This year marks its 50th anniversary and using neurostudies of consumer behaviour it's repositioning to appeal to the emotions of its restaurant goers - focusing less on the love of their product and more on the love of the brand. That's permeated through its latest TV ad campaigns, digital and will be seen via a revamp in stores as well. It's worked for the likes of McDonalds and Weight Watchers, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out for KFC.
When it comes to online advertising, neuromarketing is still in its infancy and some experts believe it can be misleading. Clinical psychologist Vaughn Bell, claims that neuromarketing is a legitimate research area of cognitive science, but the results are 'abstract and ultra-focused' - making them far from applicable in everyday use. Eye tracking technology is often placed under the neuromarketing umbrella, but it's not technically a brain response test. True understanding of neuromarketing is fairly limited in the marketing world, and for me, I have yet to see it used in a way that produces real-time results that shed light on what's driving consumer decisions.
The Censuswide and Criteo study looked into the British public's attitudes towards online advertising and shopping revealed that colour, personalisation, and repetition emerged as the most common elements that convert consumers from browser to buyer.
Renowned web psychologist and author of Webs of Influence: The Psychology of Online Persuasion, Natalie Nahai believes that colour is a powerful persuasion tool online. According to the study only 24 per cent of respondents said they were most attracted to the colour red, yet over half said they were attracted to flash sales and offers - which are more often than not red. An indication that our subconscious is driving our desire to click.
It's not just neuromarketing, emotional response testing has become a staple in the marketing research toolkit. Facial coding, for example, is edging out in front of some of the other methods such as eye tracking and being used by top agencies like Millward Brown. It's the ability to monitor and test emotional responses based entirely on facial reactions and is often used before marketing content is launched to gauge consumers' subconscious reaction. While these automated methods of emotional tracking are great insight tools, what's missing is the 'why' consumers are reacting that way or what exactly in the ad has caused it? It's all subjective and no one has the silver bullet - yet.
Whatever the future holds for the industry, personalisation will remain at the heart of effective advertising. Consumers want to be seen as individuals rather than grouped by gender or trendy demographic clusters such as millennials or baby boomers. And as consumers become more sophisticated about online tracking methods, it's our responsibility to do so in a way that is rooted in integrity, transparency and gives consumers an opportunity to opt-in or out. Otherwise it can have a damaging impact for us all.

About Radio Marsyangdi
B.S. The development of journalism in Nepal after the restoration of democracy in 2046 BS led to a flood of infrastructure construction and publication. In 2054 BS, Radio Sagarmatha started broadcasting independent radio for the first time in South Asia. In the days that followed, a wave of independent radios was established across the country. Radio Marshyangdi is one of the more than 200 community radios currently operating in Nepal.
The history of journalism in Lamjung is not so old. The Center for Community Development and Communication (CCDC) has started broadcasting the first community radio Marsyangdi in Lamjung on April 20, 2008, with the objective of establishing the right to information of the people by involving the overall development activities of the district. Due to the lack of funds, we started broadcasting from the studio made of egg crack and a small bag. In the days that followed, on the one hand, the enthusiasm and awareness of working in mothers' groups and clubs increased, and on the other hand, we began to receive emotional and financial support.
After the beginning of social work in the field of mass communication in the district, there was great support from people of all walks of life. As a result, Lamjunge has become a centre of trust. The radio, which started broadcasting from 4 hours a day, is currently broadcasting 17 hours of local, national and international news, informative, awareness-raising and entertaining programs targeting children, women, adults, old and young, interviews, dialogues, songs, music and information on current affairs. Is Among the seven news bulletins of local production, the news is being broadcast in Gurung and Tamang languages. Similarly, it has been giving space to the listeners through SMS service, public voice, report and live conversation. Radio Marsyangdi is also available to listen to live on the Internet at www.radiomarsyangdi.org.

"Hull's year as UK city of culture has been described as a "rip-roaring, awe-inspiring success" by Arts Council England, and organisers and civic leaders have promised to build on its legacy in 2018. The port city in east Yorkshire was the UK's second city of culture, after Derry became the first in 2013. Hull's tenure has been widely praised and is estimated to have provided an economic boost worth more than the bid's forecast of £60m."
"One of the most memorable days I've spent so far in my time as chief executive of Arts Council England happened in Hull back in July. Wearing my blue, purple and pink uniform, I became a Hull UK City of Culture 2017 volunteer for the day, joining hundreds of people from Hull who have given up their time over the past twelve months in the name of art and culture."

Michael J. Novosel of Croatian origin recipient of the Medal of Honor for saving 5589 wounded people
By Nenad N. Bach and Darko Žubrinić | Published 05/5/2019 | Croatian Heroes , People , In Memoriam , Education , Awards | Unrated
He received a rare honor for a living hero when the main street at Fort Rucker, Alabama was renamed "Novosel Street"
Michael J. Novosel
Michael J. Novosel Sr. (September 3, 1922 - April 2, 2006) of Enterprise, Alabama served in the United States military during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He flew the B-29 Superfortress bomber in World War II. In order to serve in the Vietnam War, he gave up the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve and became a chief warrant officer in the Army. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration, for his bravery in conducting a medical evacuation under fire in the Vietnam War.
Novosel was born in Etna, Pennsylvania, the son of Croatian immigrants, and he grew up during the Great Depression. He joined the Army Air Corps at age 19, just ten months prior to Pearl Harbor, and he was a captain by 1945 flying B-29 Superfortress bombers in the war against Japan. He left the service for a brief time due to reductions in force after the war, and he settled in Fort Walton Beach, Florida to raise his family.
Novosel joined the Air Force Reserve and went back on active duty to serve his country during the Korean War. He left the service again in 1953 and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve in 1955.
In 1963, Novosel was working as a commercial airline pilot when he decided to return to active military duty. By then, he was 41 and the Air Force did not have space for any more officers in the upper ranks. He made the decision to give up his rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force to join the Army and fly helicopters as a chief warrant officer (CW4) with the elite Special Forces Aviation Section. He served his first tour in Vietnam flying medevac helicopters (Dustoff) with the 283rd Medical Detachment. His second tour in Vietnam was with the 82nd Medical Detachment. During that war, Novosel flew 2,543 missions and extracted 5,589 wounded personnel, among them his own son Michael J. Novosel Jr. The following week, Michael Jr. returned the favor by extracting his father after he was shot down.
On the morning of October 2, 1969, Novosel set out to evacuate a group of South Vietnamese soldiers who were surrounded by several thousand North Vietnamese light infantry near the Cambodian border. Radio communication was lost and the soldiers had expended their ammunition. Without air cover or fire support, Novosel flew at low altitude under continuous enemy fire. He skimmed the ground with his helicopter while his medic and crew chief yanked the wounded men on board. He completed 15 hazardous extractions, was wounded in a barrage of enemy fire, and momentarily lost control of his helicopter, but when it was over, he had rescued 29 men. He completed his tour in March 1970.
Novosel retired as the senior warrant officer with the Warrant Officer Candidate Program in 1985. He had been a military aviator for 42 years and was the last World War II military aviator in the U.S. to remain on active flying duty. He accumulated 12,400 military flying hours, including 2,038 in combat. He remained active in the military community while residing in Enterprise, Alabama during his retirement, and he was frequently invited as an honored guest for military lectures and ceremonies throughout the nation. He co-piloted the liftoff of the In the Shadow of the Blade mission in 2002. His book Dustoff - The Memoir of an Army Aviator was published in 1999.
Novosel was diagnosed with a recurrent cancer in November 2005, and he underwent a series of highly successful treatments at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The cancer tumor was greatly reduced in December 2005 and January 2006. In February, he concluded chemotherapy and other treatments and waited to regain strength in preparation for surgery on March 7. His prognosis appeared excellent, yet he never fully recovered from the shock of the surgery. He died on April 2, 2006 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors on April 13.
In 1971, President Richard Nixon placed the Medal of Honor around Novosel's neck, the nation's highest award for valor in combat. Among his many other awards, he received the Distinguished Service Cross (which was later upgraded to the MOH), Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Purple Heart. He was inducted into the Army Aviation Hall of Fame in 1975. Upon his retirement, he received a rare honor for a living hero when the main street at Fort Rucker, Alabama was renamed "Novosel Street." He also received the Distinguished Service Medal during his retiring ceremony.
Medal of Honor citation
Rank and organization: Chief Warrant Officer, U.S. Army, 82d Medical Detachment, 45th Medical Company, 68th Medical Group.
Place and date: Kien Tuong Province, Republic of Vietnam, October 2, 1969. Entered service at: Kenner, La. Born: September 3, 1922, Etna, Pa.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. CWO Novosel, 82d Medical Detachment, distinguished himself while serving as commander of a medical evacuation helicopter. He unhesitatingly maneuvered his helicopter into a heavily fortified and defended enemy training area where a group of wounded Vietnamese soldiers were pinned down by a large enemy force. Flying without gunship or other cover and exposed to intense machinegun fire, CWO Novosel was able to locate and rescue a wounded soldier. Since all communications with the beleaguered troops had been lost, he repeatedly circled the battle area, flying at low level under continuous heavy fire, to attract the attention of the scattered friendly troops. This display of courage visibly raised their morale, as they recognized this as a signal to assemble for evacuation. On 6 occasions he and his crew were forced out of the battle area by the intense enemy fire, only to circle and return from another direction to land and extract additional troops. Near the end of the mission, a wounded soldier was spotted close to an enemy bunker. Fully realizing that he would attract a hail of enemy fire, CWO Novosel nevertheless attempted the extraction by hovering the helicopter backward. As the man was pulled on aboard, enemy automatic weapons opened fire at close range, damaged the aircraft and wounded CWO Novosel. He momentarily lost control of the aircraft, but quickly recovered and departed under the withering enemy fire. In all, 15 extremely hazardous extractions were performed in order to remove wounded personnel. As a direct result of his selfless conduct, the lives of 29 soldiers were saved. The extraordinary heroism displayed by CWO Novosel was an inspiration to his comrades in arms and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

Isabella Romine: A helping hand for Ukraine…might need a helping hand from you | Columnists
By Bobbie M. Pasley Last updated May 1, 2022
Isabella Romine Guest columnist
CHISINAU, Moldova – Located directly west of Ukraine, less than a hundred miles from the heavily bombed port city of Odessa, Moldova is one of the countries at the heart of the current refugee crisis created by the war of Russia against Ukraine.
isabelle romine
Although no fighting took place on Moldovan territory, the effects of the war reverberate throughout Chisinau, the capital: inflation, shortage of products and, above all, the refugee crisis, the impact of which is felt from multiple ways. Walking along Stefan Cel Mare Boulevard, Chisinau's main street, Ukrainian conversations intertwine with Russian and Moldovan. The secondary school I attend recently enrolled its first Ukrainian refugees. Landlords rent apartments for free or at reduced prices to refugees —or try to take advantage of the sudden lack of housing by raising prices. Anti-Russian protests occur almost daily outside the impending and striking Russian Embassy.
Although there is little concern about an imminent invasion, many fear that Moldova could possibly become Putin's next target, especially given the Russian presence in the breakaway region of Transnistria. With its seat at the forefront of the effects of the war as refugees flooded into the country, anti-Russian sentiment in Moldova rose sharply. This shift is particularly evident among younger generations, who have no memory of the country's former economic might and social protections as part of the Soviet Union.
A first-hand view
I witnessed the refugee crisis on a more personal, first-hand level while volunteering at Smokehouse, a joint initiative between the Peace Corps of Moldova and the Small Business Alliance of Moldova. Smokehouse was once an American barbecue restaurant, but its owners offered to house a refugee center the day after the outbreak of war. It opened immediately and soon after I started volunteering there.
When I arrived in Chisinau last fall to study Russian on the US government's NSLI-Y scholarship, I could not have anticipated that I would have the opportunity to use my language skills in a humanitarian crisis. The value of knowing Russian quickly went from academic to personal as I spoke with refugees and drove them around the center to collect clothes, hygiene products, food and other supplies during the next six weeks. Lines stretched to the gate and down the block, spilling into the streets as more refugees crossed the border, and, more than once, the center ran out hygiene products, food or other essential supplies —sometimes simultaneously.
The work was both challenging and rewarding. Many times I found myself not knowing what to say, especially to children with an incomplete understanding of their situation. Some moments stick in my memory, like when I told a little girl that I was from the United States only for her to ask if there was a war there too, or when the 8-year-old boy who had just informed me of how much better he plays chess (probably true) asked if the Hot Wheels car was really free because his family still paid in stores in Odessan.
A field effort
Smokehouse – and the rest of the initial crisis response – was not led by large organizations such as the Red Cross or the Moldovan government, but by grassroots organisations, small businesses and personal donations . While large organizations hold brand recognition and the trust that comes with it, they are also unsightly, bureaucratic and slow to mobilize. As the first wave of refugees poured into the country, more nimble and less established organizations filled the void.
The challenges of helping refugees cannot be solved by the Moldovan government alone, which rules what is often considered the poorest country in Europe. Besides its lack of resources, the Moldovan government also lacks public trust. It's an oft-repeated refrain that the most profitable business in Moldova is politics. The Moldovan bank fraud scandal of 2014, in which prominent politicians helped steal US$1 billion (12% of Moldova's GDP) is fresh in people's memory.
The government has also struggled to publicize its aid. Several weeks into the crisis, Moldova opened a state-run refugee resource center about a 30-minute walk from Smokehouse in the largely residential neighborhood. However, virtually none of the refugees who arrived at Smokehouse knew of the center when we informed them, and those who did were unable to locate it due to misdirection and poor signage. On a day in March when Smokehouse supported around a thousand refugees, the state-run center hosted around 30.
And although the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has set up a cash assistance program for Ukrainian refugees, providing each registered family with credit cards preloaded with 110 euros, this happened several weeks after the start of the war, when several hundred thousand refugees had crossed the border. in Moldova.
Yet organizations such as UNHCR are well enough funded to offer such significant help in the first place, while myself and other Smokehouse volunteers were often placed in the unenviable position of explaining to refugees – usually families with children led by mothers, sisters, and grandmothers who had left male relatives at home—that we ran out of towels, baby wipes, food, and other essentials.
A solution to this problem naturally imposed itself. Relatives and friends in the United States have asked to send me donations, wanting to help but not knowing how best to do so. As someone on the ground, I was a middleman: someone who could receive a Venmo transaction and convert it efficiently and directly into help. Shipments to Smokehouse from small business donations could be unpredictable in both timing and content. In the field, I could replenish missing products in the intermediate periods. Functionally, this meant that I became perhaps the most hated shopper in Chisinau's grocery checkout lines, buying hundreds of high-demand products at once. I also responded to the need for items that are more rarely donated, such as adult diapers, toys, and children's school supplies.
Acting as a micro-charity, so to speak, has allowed me to move around according to the most pressing needs of the moment. Of course without Smokehouse, I would have had no way to distribute these donations. And while arguably the most flexible, this form of charity only works if you have a trusted contact on the ground.
Although I am more than ever in favor of grassroots charities, there must be a balance between international organizations and grassroots organizations. Once government aid and larger charities arrived after the first week of April, Smokehouse was able to close. Smokehouse partners, including Friends of Moldova, continue to be active in reaching the country's underserved areas outside the capital, but their budgets are dwarfed by those of the UN. This begs the question: if we could focus our attention on building a network of grassroots charities that could act faster and spend less on overhead, would there still be as much need for charities? bulky international? As climate change promises more natural disasters and the socio-political state of the world continues to destabilize, I expect this issue to grow in importance.
As for how to most effectively help Ukrainian refugees in Moldova right now, I suggest donating to Friends of Moldova. Their collaboration with Smokehouse and their continued support for refugees in resource-poor villages and towns across Moldova is a testament to the value of grassroots charity.

For Ukraine, what's so special about Germany's Leopard 2 tanks?
As the war in Ukraine nears its one-year mark, Kyiv is pushing Western allies to provide modern battle tanks for its fight with Russian forces. And there's one particular model the Ukrainians want — the German-made Leopard 2.
Other countries have offered different tanks, such as Britain, which promised 14 Challenger 2 models earlier this month. But the Leopard 2's speed and ease of use — as well as the fact that there are a large number of them already in Europe — have made them more attractive to Kyiv.
In a statement last week, the Ukrainian foreign and defense ministers said that while they welcomed Britain's "bold and timely decision" to send a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks, they were "not sufficient to achieve operational goals." They went on to appeal to countries "that have Leopard 2 tanks in service" to send them to Ukraine.
For Berlin, the focus on the tanks has become a geopolitical headache — and the government of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has so far rebuffed calls to export the Leopard 2. Although this week, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in an interview with French television that her government "would not stand in the way" if Poland requested to send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
Poland's prime minister said he would ask Germany for permission to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine on Jan. 23, after Berlin said it would not stop them. (Video: Reuters)
Here's what to know about the Leopard 2 and why Ukraine says it needs them.
Why does Ukraine prefer the Leopard 2?
The Leopard 2 was first introduced in 1979 and has since been upgraded several times, gaining a reputation as one of the best main battle tanks in the world.
It was designed by West German arms producer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann to replace the original Leopard tank, which entered service in 1965. The Leopard 2 is more advanced than many of the Soviet-era tanks fielded by both Russian and Ukrainian forces.
Even older versions of the tank have modern optics, including thermal imaging, that allow it to operate day and night, as well as magnification and a laser range finder to track targets. The tanks are built to move quickly, with a maximum speed of around 44 miles per hour despite their 55-ton weight, according to the manufacturer.
The Leopard 2 also has a variety of features designed to protect the crew. Compartmentalized ammunition storage avoids the devastating "jack-in-the-box" explosions seen with Russia's T-72 tanks, where ammunition is stored below the crew.
The tank is powered by a diesel engine, which is relatively easy to refuel and gives the vehicle an extended range of about 210 miles on road. It also uses standardized NATO 120mm ammunition, which would grant Ukraine access to a larger pool of suppliers than its current tanks, which require 125mm.
How many Leopard 2s are there, and where are they located?
Researchers estimate there are more than 2,000 Leopard 2 tanks in Europe. More than half are thought to be the older 2A4 and 2A5 variants, including more than 200 held in storage in Germany itself, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for German arms group Rheinmetall told local media that the company could deliver 139 Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine if required, Reuters reported, although some wouldn't arrive until the end of the year or in early 2024.
Many of those already exported from Germany have been sent to European countries or NATO member states such as Canada and Turkey. Other countries that have bought Leopard 2 tanks include Singapore, Chile, and Qatar.
Ukraine has focused on the Leopard 2 in part because there are so many in Europe, where they could be transported to the battlefield with relative ease. But under deals with purchasing countries, the German government must sign off on any transfers.
In a note published in September, the European Council on Foreign Relations called on Western nations to support a plan to send Leopard 2s to Ukraine, saying that the "more that countries donate tanks, the easier it will be to share the burden of giving them away."
What about the alternatives, including the U.S. M1 Abrams?
When it comes to main battle tanks, the Leopard 2 has one main rival: The U.S.-made M1 Abrams.

heavyweights
Germany's Leopard 2 main battle tank and the United States' M1 Abrams boast similar measurements and capabilities; indeed, some of the similarities are deliberate, to ensure the tanks can cooperate on NATO's battlefields.

120mm cannon
About 70 tons
In service since 1980, the M1 Abrams has similar specs to the Leopard 2, but some clear advantages. Modern versions have layers of depleted uranium armor protection that offer significant benefits to the crew inside.
In a phone call earlier this month, Scholz suggested to President Biden that in order for Germany to unlock a package of Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine, Washington should send the M1 Abrams.
However, the Biden administration has argued that the U.S.-made tanks have a number of disadvantages for the field in Ukraine.
They use jet fuel, which is far more difficult to obtain compared to the diesel used by the Leopard 2. Though the tank once weighed 60 tons, it has ballooned in weight over the years; new versions can weigh nearly 75 tons, which adds logistical difficulties. That's a lot of weight to drive over a bridge, for example.
They also have complicated maintenance requirements, U.S. officials have told reporters, and require specialized training.
War in Ukraine: What you need to know
The latest: Russia claimed Friday to have seized control of Soledar, a heavily contested salt-mining town in eastern Ukraine where fighting has raged in recent days, but a Ukrainian military official maintained that the battle was not yet over.
Russia's Gamble: The Post examined the road to war in Ukraine, and Western efforts to unite to thwart the Kremlin's plans, through extensive interviews with more than three dozen senior U.S., Ukrainian, European and NATO officials.

Unemployment as an Actor
Jun 8, 2016 | Posted by	Anthony Montes | Uncategorized	| 0 comments |
There is no reason to not be working as an actor if that is your passion. There are reasons to go broke doing it, but if you love it, you have to find a way to work. When I moved to Los Angeles from New York, I thought that was going to be the next Pacino. I mean that. I had know idea how difficult it would be. For whatever reason, it felt that I was not able to get the breaks that I seen so many of my friends get. They got the good agent, I did not. They got the good manager, I did not. They got called in to see casting directors, I did not. I had this one agent tell me after seeing me in a play, what a wonderful actor I was. He meant it and was so excited pointing out moments that I had in the play. Up until that point I had never be so praised. At the end of our conversation, he informed me that he wasn't going to be representing me and would represent the other actor in the play with me. He told me that he didn't think the other actor was near as talented as me, but he did think that he had a look that he could sell. My heart sunk. from that point on I decided that I was not going to leave it up to outside sources to insure that I would get the opportunity to act. This was in 1987 and I decided that I would start my own group and call it, The Artist Theatre Group. I picked Artist, because this is what I aspired to be and Group, out of respect for the Group Theatre and those wonderful teachers Meisner, Strasberg and Adler, who changed the face of American acting for ever. With my group I produced 90 plays acted in over 60 and directed over 30 and lost money on 89 of them. I felt that I was working my way up the ladder artistically, but down the ladder financially. With my group I discovered my passion for teaching.

Panorama is a widescreen view of the world, brutally honest throughout, and unashamedly and unflinchingly political in parts. Its creator explains: "the whole point of Panorama is to think outside the box, see the bigger picture and broaden our minds." This ethos ensures the record goes beyond the more traditional subject matter usually associated with hip-hop and explores some broader global issues. The man behind the vision is Braintax – rapper, producer, label owner, and luminary of the British hip-hop scene.
After a five year hiatus he has returned to the fray stronger than ever with Panorama – a record that's highly anticipated by hip-hop fans and also makes a strong and persuasive bid for a far wider audience. Panorama continues in the same high-quality vein as Biro Funk and, in addition, backs up Braintax's up-scaled heightened ambitions with a bigger, brasher sound. The beats range from electro experimentation to boom-bap to club bangers, with Braintax himself manning the dials on several tracks. Lyrically, topics covered include global politics - see the rabid 'Syriana Style' or the masterfully empathetic 'The Grip Again'; environmental concerns through 'Exit Plans'; race issues and home affairs on 'Anti-Grey', and the Thatcher dominated 1980s with 'Decade'. Interludes between tracks include speeches from journalist Robert Fisk and George Galloway complementing and continuing the record's overall world view perspective. It's fair to say this isn't your average British rapper making another average rap album. Panorama - come and admire the view.

The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better
University of Padova, Human Rights Centre, 22nd February 2017, 17:30
The Divide tells the story of 7 individuals striving for a better life in the modern day US and UK - where the top 0.1% owns as much wealth as the bottom 90%. By plotting these tales together, we uncover how virtually every aspect of our lives is controlled by one factor: the size of the gap between rich and poor. This isn't based on real life. This is real life.
The University Human Rights Centre will host a viewing of the film "The Divide", inspired by the international bestseller "The Spirit Level - Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better". The acclaimed authors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett will introduce the evening by briefly discussing the question "How to reduce income inequality and promote well-being within societies" - the main theme of "The Divide".
Richard Wilkinson is a social epidemiologist and advocate. He is Professor Emeritus of Social epidemiology at the University of Nottingham. He is also Honorary Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London and Senior Lecturer at the University of York.
Kate Pickett is Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York and was a National Institute for Health Research Career Scientist from 2007-2012.

Homer began the canvas in New York inafter he had visited Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he first worked in watercolor. He used the sketches made there, of which the most closely related is Sailing the Catboatfor the oil painting, which he worked on over three years.

Thereafter, he seldom traveled without paper, brushes and water based paints.
For a while, he even lived in secluded Eastern Point Lighthouse with the keeper's family. In re-establishing his love of the sea, Homer found a rich source of themes while closely observing the fishermen, the sea, and the marine weather.

Many of the paintings at Cullercoats took as their subjects working men and women and their daily heroism, imbued with a solidity and sobriety which was new to Homer's art, presaging the direction of his future work.
His subjects more universal and less nationalistic, more heroic by virtue of his unsentimental rendering. Although he moved away from the spontaneity and bright innocence of the American paintings of the s and s, Homer found a new style and vision which carried his talent into new realms.

Messi congratulates Chinese mountaineer for scaling Everest
Mark Dreyer	 Published May 25, 2018
https://supchina.com/2018/05/25/messi-congratulates-chinese-mountaineer-for-scaling-everest/
The China Sports Column is a SupChina weekly feature in which China Sports Insider Mark Dreyer looks at the week that was in the China sports world.
Chinese owners of European football clubs have had fairly mixed results as a whole this season, though Fosun-owned Wolves have been the undoubted winners, earning promotion to the English Premier League's promised land as Championship champions.

Deloitte estimates this will bring in at least £170 million ($227 million), rising to £280 million ($374 million) if the club is able to avoid relegation in its first season in the top division. Aston Villa could make almost as much if they beat Fulham in this weekend's Championship playoff final, giving Chinese businessman Tony Xia and his mysterious RECON empire its first viable business in years. Lose, though, and Villa will face another dogfight next year in what is arguably the most competitive division in global soccer.
Over in Italy, Milan's two Chinese-owned clubs have faced opposite fortunes. Inter Milan has won 18 Serie A titles — only Juventus, winners of the past seven league titles, has won more — but has been out of the UEFA Champions League for a painful six-year period. So while fourth place doesn't mean much in relation to the storied club's history, clinching the fourth and final UCL spot with a dramatic 3-2 win at Lazio last weekend to leapfrog the Rome-based club on goal difference was significant. The club is now controlled by Suning, the e-commerce empire of Zhang Jindong 张近东, whose 27-year-old son Steven has reportedly been a fixture at Inter games this season. He was so moved by the result at Lazio that he appeared to break down on the sidelines following the match, though whether that was through joy, relief, or a realization that the UCL dollars will soon flow again, only he will know.
Meanwhile, at cross-city rivals AC Milan, the nightmare is just beginning. Milan also has 18 Serie A titles to its credit and enjoyed European football this season through the second-tier Europa League. But it's off the pitch where the club is truly facing issues. With an October deadline to repay some debts to U.S. fund Elliott Management, owner Li Yonghong 李勇鸿 has this week seen the club sanctioned by European football's governing body, UEFA, over financial irregularities. Effectively, Li is facing a two-pronged battle: On the one hand, he must pay Elliott or risk losing control of the club; but even if he's able to refinance successfully, AC Milan — which finished a lowly sixth this year — may still be banned from European competition in the future. Worrying times for the fans, who still know next to nothing about their club's owner.
U.S.-North Korean ties have been getting the bulk of the attention this week, but there's another bilateral relationship that's also looking rather precarious. Australian trade minister Steven Ciobo called China "one of the true global giants" on a visit to Shanghai last weekend, where he took in the second annual Aussie Rules (AFL) clash between Port Adelaide and Gold Coast. He was the first Australian minister to visit in some time, after China lifted an eight-month ban on diplomatic visas following allegations from Canberra about political interference that traces back to Beijing.
Reports had said that Australia could use the AFL as a way to mend ties between the two countries, with Port Adelaide officials repeatedly stressing the political and economic bridges that the club is trying to build between Australia and China. However, an editorial in the Global Times poured cold water on that prospect, with a call to "make Australia pay for its arrogant attitude toward China over the past two years" and that "it is necessary for China to leave Australia hanging for a while," adding that "China should not be too hasty about burying the hatchet simply every time Canberra puts on a smile."
The door, it seems, could still be opened — just not right away: "China does not have to throw away Sino-Australia relations. China just needs to slow their relationship for a period. For example, it will not be necessary for the Australian Prime Minister to visit China this year." Interestingly, that prime minister — Malcolm Turnbull — was originally invited to attend the AFL game in Shanghai, but opted to keep his calendar free for the Royal Wedding. Unfortunately, Turnbull, like other heads of state, was never invited.
The long-running transfer saga of Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has finally come to an end, with confirmation that he will play in Japan for Vissel Kobe, rather than accepting an offer from Chongqing or one of his many other suitors. There are two things of interest for Chinese fans here: first, the proclamation from Iniesta's new club — which is owned by Barcelona sponsor Rakuten — that this will be a boost not just for the Japanese league but for "all of Asian football." However, given that China had at one point been leading the race to sign Iniesta, the fact that he will now not play in the Chinese Super League is hardly a boost. Perhaps a Chinese club will face him in next year's Asian Champions League, but even if he's only half as good then as he is today, he may well be solely responsible for that CSL club's continental exit.
Second, there's been a lot of talk about Iniesta's family wine business — Bodega Iniesta — with the plan to sell millions of bottles to Asia. However, with studies estimating the Chinese wine market to be about four times larger than Japan's — and growing at a much faster rate — it seems curious he's opted for Japan instead. With many top European clubs still interested in the 34-year-old, it's clear his move is based on neither footballing nor business reasons; perhaps — reading between the lines — he feels that Japan is the safest of all the big money options.
The feel-good story of the week comes from Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi — via Mount Everest. Tibetan climber Danzin Norbu, who is also a keen amateur soccer player, made it to the top of the world's highest mountain recently and promptly unveiled a shirt bearing his idol's name on it. Messi then posted the picture on his Facebook account — which has 88 million followers — with the following message:
"Congratulations to Dan Zengluobu for reaching the summit of Everest, an incredible achievement! And many thanks for showing me your affection from up there."
Danzin Norbu's climb comes just days after China's Xia Boyu 夏伯渝, a 69-year-old double amputee, also made a successful summit. In his post, Messi used the mountaineer's Chinese name, Dan Zengluobu 旦增罗布, whose sixth summit of Everest took place on May 15. It's not known whose shirts he carried up on the previous five journeys.

Now reading: Things didn't go so smoothly at the big bang…

Things didn't go so smoothly at the big bang…
A decades-old description of the big bang may not hold up to mathematical scrutiny, according to new work co-authored by researchers from Perimeter Institute and the Albert Einstein Institute.
by Colin Hunter / Perimeter Institute
The big bang is one of science's great mysteries, and it seems the plot has thickened thanks to new research that refutes prevailing theories about the birth of the universe.
A classical description of the big bang implies a singularity: a point of infinite smallness, at which Einstein's theory of gravity – general relativity – breaks down.
To tackle this problem, two proposals were put forward in the 1980s: the "no-boundary proposal" by Stephen Hawking and James Hartle, and Alexander Vilenkin's theory known as "tunnelling from nothing."
Each proposal attempted to describe a smoother beginning to spacetime, using quantum theory. Rather than the infinitely pointy needle of the classical big bang, the proposals described something closer to the rounded tip of a well-used pencil – curved, without an edge or tip.
While this view has spawned much research, new mathematical work suggests such a smooth beginning could not have given birth to the ordered universe we see today.
A new paper, co-authored by Perimeter Institute researchers Neil Turok and Job Feldbrugge, with Jean-Luc Lehners of the Albert Einstein Institute in Germany, points out mathematical inconsistencies in the "no boundary" and "tunnelling" proposals.
"The beginning of our universe – if there is one – is one of the big open questions in theoretical physics," said Feldbrugge, a PhD student at Perimeter Institute. "The no-boundary proposal by Hartle and Hawking and others is an elegant proposal to model the big bang using quantum gravity. Using a new mathematical technique, we can now rigorously investigate this proposal and see what kind of universe it predicts."
Turok says the previous models were "beautiful proposals seeking to describe a complete picture of the origin of spacetime," but they don't hold up to this new mathematical assessment.
"Unfortunately, at the time those models were proposed, there was no adequately precise formulation of quantum gravity available to determine whether these proposals were mathematically meaningful," Turok said.
The new research, outlined in a paper called "No smooth beginning for spacetime," demonstrates that a universe emerging smoothly from nothing would be "wild and fluctuating," strongly contradicting observations, which show the universe to be extremely uniform across space.
"Hence the no-boundary proposal does not imply a large universe like the one we live in, but rather tiny curved universes that would collapse immediately," said Lehners, a former Perimeter postdoc who leads the theoretical cosmology group at the Albert Einstein Institute.
Turok, Lehners, and Feldbrugge reached this result by revisiting the foundations of the field. They found a new way to use powerful mathematics developed over the past century to tackle one of physics' most basic problems: how to connect quantum physics to gravity. The work builds on previous research Turok conducted with Steffen Gielen, a postdoc at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics and at Perimeter, in which they replaced the concept of the "classical big bang" with a "quantum big bounce."
Turok, Lehners, and Feldbrugge are now trying to determine what mechanism could have kept large quantum fluctuations in check while allowing our large universe to unfold.
The new research implies that "we either should look for another picture to understand the very early universe, or that we have to rethink the most elementary models of quantum gravity," said Feldbrugge.
Added Turok: "Uncovering this problem gives us a powerful hint. It is leading us closer to a new picture of the big bang."
