Al-Attiyah tops impressive entry list – Kuwait International Rally set for March 24
Abdulaziz Al Kuwari in action at the recent Rally Mexico with his Skoda Fabia R5.
KUWAIT CITY, March 15: The Basil Salem Al-Sabah Motor Racing Club (BMRC) has announced an impressive entry list for next weekend's Kuwait International Rally, round two of the 2016 FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC), taking place on March 24-26.
The three-day event, being held under the chairmanship of Sheikh Athbi Nayef Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, and in conjunction with the General Authority for Sport and Kuwait International Automobile Club (KIAC), has attracted a provisional 21 cars, with drivers taking part from Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Co-drivers from Kuwait, Qatar, France, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, Iran, Finland and Germany will ensure 12 nations are represented at the ceremonial start next Thursday afternoon (March 24).
Record-breaking Qatari driver Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah will lead the field in his Skoda Fabia R5. The 11-time regional champion and five-time Kuwait Rally winner broke Mohammed Ben Sulayem's long-standing record of 60 MERC wins last month in Qatar and returns to rallying after spending several weeks in Cyprus honing his skeet shooting skills in preparation for the Olympic Games in Rio this summer.
Competition in the R5 category will come from fellow Qatari Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari in a second Skoda and 2012 event winner Khalid Al-Suwaidi in a Ford Fiesta, while Kuwait's Masoud Al-Saleh lines up in a Ford Fiesta S2000. Both Al-Kuwari and Al-Suwaidi suffered disappointing retirements from the recent Rally Mexico and will be hoping to kick-start their seasons in Kuwait.
The remainder of the field is entered in the highly competitive NR4 class for Group N cars. Likely front-runners in this category include the Kuwaiti quintet of current national championship leader Meshari Al-Thafiri, Jassim Al-Muqahwi, Mohammed Al-Thafiri, Saleh Ali, Elie Chachati and rookie Sheikh Jaber Al-Sabah, who hopes to benefit from recent rally training.
Both Meshari and Mohammed Al-Thafiri are the sons of legendary Kuwaiti driver Ahmed Al-Thafiri, a winner of the Kuwait event way back in 1981 before it became a round of the regional series.
Competition is likely to be fierce from the Qatari contingent of Abdullah Al-Kuwari, Khalifa Al-Attiyah, Rashid Al-Naimi and Edith Weiss, while the veteran Lebanese driver Michel Saleh returns to MERC action with navigator Ahmed Ghaziri in his Subaru Impreza N15. Saleh has taken part in the regional series since its inception and won the Kuwait Rally back in 1984 at the wheel of a Toyota Celica GT.
Other entrants in the NR4 class include the Iranian duo of Hassan Akbarnejadbaei and Laleh Seddigh, the two Turkish Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Xs of Yigit Timur and Vedat Diker and the Saudi Arabian driver Rakan Al-Rashed.
Lebanon's Rodolphe Asmar completes the provisional line-up with experienced navigator Joseph Matar in another Mitsubishi. Both Asmar and Al-Sabah are also eligible for points in the regional Junior Championship.
After a timed super special at the Sirbb circuit on Thursday, March 24, competitors will tackle six gravel stages on Friday, March 25 and a further six in the same area on Saturday, March 26.
Rally headquarters will be based at the Safir Hotel and Residences in Fintas, while the Sea Shell Julai'a Hotel and Resort will host the rally control and offer amenities for the nearby service park.

Waiter! There's Some Snot in My Soup!
Opponents of the City Council ordinance allowing earned sick days for workers in San Diego continue to stand in front of shopping centers and grocery stores to collect signatures for a referendum suspending the law until June 2016.
That's right, they'd rather have their employees work sick. Think about that next time you eat in a restaurant. Your server (or cook or busboy) may well have opted to work while ill rather than lose a day's pay. After all, according to a study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, 81% of food service workers don't have a choice.
Okay, okay… I might have neglected to mention the part of the ordinance that increases the local minimum wage by 8.3% on January first, but, hey, if the Chamber of Commerce can pay people to collect signatures based on made up numbers (they say it's a 44% increase) , I should be able to raise the part of the law they're not talking about, right?
The Chamber's drive to suspend this ordinance landed a terrific piece of fluff posing as news yesterday in the Daily Transcript that I'd like to point out as Exhibit A for a discussion about how the media can influence public perceptions by framing an issue.
All the facts are there. The story is actually more informative than most I've seen. But the narrative is phrased in such a way that the truth gets buried. It's the impression people get that counts, and if you didn't read past the first few paragraphs you'd think San Diego is facing an economic calamity.
A Chamber of Commerce poll cited warns that businesses are planning to cut back hours. How many? Oh, 9%. That means 91% per cent are not planning on reducing labor, right?
Oh, no… you see that 9% is UP from 5% in the last survey, which was taken before the current doom and gloom campaign. And that's almost DOUBLE.
While 23% of businesses in the very same survey said they're planing on increasing employee hours, I suppose we could look at this number as 77% are NOT planning on an increase. And never mind that the numbers cited at the top of the story represent an increase in labor hours from the same period last year, according to a poll cited near the end of the account.
Roe. Rhymes with Pinocchio? Coincidence?
On the other hand, only 5 percent of respondents to the August poll listed the minimum wage hike as a "new challenge" to their business, which ranked it in 15th place among their concerns.
The mood shift contrasts with recent employment data that hints at growing expansion plans among San Diego businesses, as well as surveys showing an ambivalent attitude toward the wage hike, which would raise the minimum from the current $9 to $9.75 next January, $10.50 in January 2016 and $11.50 in January 2017.
Nearly 70 percent of small businesses in San Diego feel hikes in the minimum wage will not affect their businesses, according to a recent poll by California Bank & Trust.
By they way, if you are one of the people who signed the Chamber's petition and later found out you'd been tricked, Raise Up San Diego has handy dandy forms that ask the City Clerk to remove your name.
Does anybody remember Proposition A, from back in 2012?
Prop A was pitched as a money saving measure blocking evil unions from demanding Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on city construction projects. And, sure enough, trade unions disliked the measure.
What was actually going on was an effort sponsored by flakier elements of the building industry to avoid paying prevailing wages, since PLAs actually don't require workers on a project to be in a union.
There were plenty of warnings to the effect that passing Proposition A might actually end up costing the City of San Diego access to State funds for large projects.
A San Diego Superior Court judge issued a tentative ruling today upholding a bipartisan law designed to encourage more of California's charter cities to pay prevailing wages on locally funded construction projects.
SB 7, which took effect in January, only grants charter cities state construction funds if they comply with prevailing wage provisions on all of their public works projects.
While the ruling is expected to be appealed, yesterday's decision doesn't bode well for the state funding for drinking- and waste-water infrastructure in San Diego that's currently in limbo.
"The water board's position is that it's not possible for the water board to execute a loan with San Diego," said Christopher Stevens, an engineer and supervisor with the State Water Resources Control Board.
The city has more than $67.8 million in outstanding loan applications with the state water board, according to the city's Public Utilities Department.
Meanwhile, NBC7 is reporting that Mission Bay Hilton Resort is without water this morning as crews from the city are unable to locate a water main break. There is growing concern–since three attempts at finding the break have failed– that the source of the problem may lie underneath Interstate 5.
Now that could be a nightmare.
I wonder if anybody from the Coalition for Fair Employment in Construction is available to help direct traffic.
The unlikely duo of City Councilwoman Marti Emerald and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith met with the UT-San Diego editorial board yesterday to announce support for a proposal radically transforming the business model for the local taxi-cab industry.
The current legally imposed cap on the number of permits sold for $3000 to operators would be lifted, eliminating a grey market where they sell for as much as $140,000.
She cited a 2013 study by San Diego State University and the Center on Policy Initiatives, which found that 90 percent of licensed taxi drivers rent their cars from individual or business owners, with some lease rates averaging $400 a week for 12 hours a day. Citywide, there are currently 993 taxi permits.
The proposal sounds like a win-win for San Diego, says a UT editorial today.
San Diego Councilwoman Marti Emerald is proposing a free-market reform of the taxi industry that is long overdue. It will no doubt prompt howls, and probably legal challenges, from current taxi permit owners. But it would benefit taxi drivers, whom Emerald likened to the "indentured servants" of the permit holders. And it would bring greater competition to an industry that needs it, ultimately benefiting consumers with better service and lower fares.
Before I go any further here, let me say that I find myself in the highly unusual situation of agreeing with both City Attorney Jan Goldsmith and the UT editorial board.
…I'm skeptical about this proposal ever getting past the city council, at least in its present incarnation.
I do think we'll get to see a lesson on San Diego politics.While the actual number of taxi permit holders may be small, they've invested wisely in politicians of both political persuasions over the years.
Our Republican candidate for the 52nd District Congressional seat has an idea, which is a good thing, since his record of plagiarizing stuff is starting to get a little embarrassing.
Just days after the California legislature voted to restrict innovative ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, Carl DeMaio will unveil the first federal law to defend ridesharing services from discrimination and outright bans.
California's move to protect the powerful cab companies' monopoly is reflective of similar displays of crony-capitalism in other states and localities across the country – thus necessitating DeMaio's solution through federal legislation.
There's just one.small.problem. The law he's proposing to have the federal government override didn't make it.
Transportation startups Uber and Lyft today announced support for California Assembly bill AB 2293, a measure that will require "ridesharing" companies in California to insure drivers as soon as they log into a ridesharing app to pick up passengers.
Prior to today, Uber and Lyft had aggressively fought the bill for months. However, the opposing sides reached a surprising compromise today: The bill has been amended and now requires ridesharing companies to provide $200,000 in coverage once a driver turns on their app — down significantly from the originally proposed $750,000.
Don't worry, Carl will probably take credit for the compromise.
On This Day: 1917 – Ten suffragists were arrested as they picketed the White House. 1963 -The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom—the Martin Luther King Jr. "I Have A Dream" speech march—was held in Washington, D.C., with 250,000 people participating. 1964 – The Beatles appeared on the cover of "LIFE" magazine.
And the U-T ed board actually supports a proposal brought by Marti Emerald; that might also be a first.
Channel 10 went Koch-eyed when its anchor Kimberly Hunt discovered Raise Up San Diego was sending out what she called 'Blockers' to sites where the Paid Petioneers of Jason Roe began gathering their signatures. It wasn't a high point in journalism. The cameras trained themselves on the enemy, a Union Thug who looked more like a city college student who was standing in front of a pillar at the entrance to the market, holding the Don't Sign It board. The nerve of These Thugs!
Kimberly at least twice lingered, Botoxed lips quivering, on the significant words, "they're called blockers," as if she'd found truth and money in the same stew pot.
Boy, do these people have money to waste!

PALAWAN, Philippines – The emerging tourism town in San Vicente in northern Palawan expects to welcome 100,000 tourists in 2018 as its airport was finally inaugurated on Thursday, May 10.
"San Vicente projects to log up to 100,000 tourists for 2018," municipal administrator James Inawasan said.
Seen as the Philippines' first Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone, San Vicente is home to the country's longest white beach, known as Long Beach, which boasts a stretch of 14 kilometers spanning across the coastline of 4 barangays.
This first-class town, located 186 kilometers north of the capital Puerto Princesa City, boasts of 22 islands and islets with fine white sand beaches, azure-blue waters, abundant rainforest, and exotic biodiversity. (READ: San Vicente, Palawan: The rise of the ecotown)
Inawasan said the opening of San Vicente Airport for commercial operation was a "good timing as the municipal government is very aggressive in its preparations when it comes to tourism development."
"We started out by firstly assessing our tourism readiness, checking how ready we are for the possible influx of tourists, not just because we are an up-and-coming tourism destination but mainly because of the spill over of tourists from Boracay, El Nido and Coron," he said.
Like Boracay, Palawan's flagship tourism destinations El Nido and Coron are also going through the same cleansing by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Inawasan said the municipal government had launched a similar move, focusing the ongoing crackdown on erring tourism establishments in Barangay Port Barton, the jump-off point for island hopping in town.
"There will be a number of establishments that will be compelled to self-correct," he said, citing problems with drainage, septic tanks, easement as among the common environmental law violations.
These tourism-related problems observed, Inawasan added, would be addressed by the town's updated "sustainable and inclusive municipal tourism code" that would take effect within the next two months.
Meanwhile, top officials of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), and provincial and municipal government graced the inauguration of P62.7-million San Vicente Airport.
DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said the newly-opened airport will provide another convenient gateway to the islands of Palawan, allowing tourists to visit and enjoy its pristine beaches, waterfalls, and more.
"President Rodrigo Duterte is committed to ensure tourism growth in the Philippines. But in order for tourism to flourish, we have to put in place what we call 'connectivity' and 'interoperability,'" he said in a press conference Thursday.
Tugade said the airport would begin catering to commercial flights, specifically by Philippine Airlines, by June.
Cebu Pacific is also considering the marketability of flying to San Vicente, he added.
After almost 9 years since construction began in 2009, the airport opened to light aircraft in June 2017, while charter flights from Air Juan was launched in August 2017. (READ: New San Vicente airport in Palawan to boost local tourism industry)
Palawan Governor Jose Alvarez has submitted an airport development project proposal to the CAAP. The proposed airport site, he said, is in Barangay Abongan in Taytay town, an hour's drive from San Vicente.
"We're proposing one more international airport in Taytay to service El Nido, as well as the northern island towns of Linapacan, Dumaran, and Araceli," he told the media.
The proposed airport, he added, can initially accommodate two trips of Airbus A330 from Europe.
Alvarez also said the provincial government is eyeing another airport development in southern Palawan that would connect to China. "It is being pushed by Chinese investors because they want to bring in spices from southern Palawan to China," the governor said.
Tugade, meanwhile, assured that the DOTr would provide funding support to the proposed airport projects.
"In less than two years, we opened the international airport in Puerto Princesa, and then now San Vicente. We are also assessing other areas for the possibility of constructing additional airports. Isn't that proof that the Duterte administration and the tourism department are focusing on Palawan as a tourism destination?" – Rappler.com

If you happen to be in Athens for a single day but yet wish to see the city, you'll have to plan it out right. One day in Athens might not be enough to explore all its hidden little corners, but the Visit Greece team has tried to come down with a walk-plan around Athens' most fascinating spots.
Start your stroll early in the morning from Panepistimiou Avenue. Make a stop at the Neoclassical buildings to enjoy the view of the University, the Academy and the National Library, known as the Athenian Trilogy, which are renowned for their architectural style and are weighed down by history.
From here, head towards Syntagma Square to the Greek Parliament. Take a moment to look at the Evzones, wearing their traditional costume, while guarding the Monument of the Unknown Soldier. Don't miss a walk through the National Gardens found right next to the Parliament. Continue your journey to the picturesque district of Plaka and wander around its narrow winding streets that lead up to the Acropolis. There is no need to mention that you must pay a visit to this unique monument as well as as to the excellent Acropolis Museum.
Proceed down on Dionysiou Areopagitou pedestrian street towards the historical area of Thiseio. On your left you'll see Filopappou Hill and on your right the archaeological site of Ancient Agora. The district of Thiseio is adjacent to Psiri and Monastiraki areas; all boasting of charming cafes, fashionable restaurants and traditional Greek tavernas. Try local cuisine, wines, beers, and other drinks. Don't forget to finish you meal with a Greek coffee accompanied by sweets.
Carry on with shopping - if you are up to it - and visit the traditional Monastiraki Flea Market. Head uphill towards Syntagma though Ermou Street, the main shopping city street. If you still have time to spend and want more, go back down Ermou Street, walk by Thiseio and follow the pedestrian street towards Gazi. On your right hand side you'll pass by the Archaeological site of Kerameikos, the cemetery of ancient Athens. Continue towards Gazi, a hotspot area of Athens, where bars, cafes and clubs will keep you entertained.
As you complete this quick tour around the City of Athens we are convinced you'll be planning a longer visit shortly.

The Wells Fargo Center website is currently advertising a new championship match for the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay per view.

Morrison made his return on January 3, 2020, appearing backstage in The Miz's locker room. Upon his return to the ring, he and The Miz reformed their tag team from the late 2000s and Morrison beat Big E and Kofi Kingston in singles matches prior to the Royal Rumble.
They were then able to defeat Heavy Machinery, The Revival, and Lucha House Party in a fatal four-way match on SmackDown.

Have you ever imagined web hosting at click of your button?
Being a backbone of Amazon, Cloud hosting is everywhere. When we say it's everywhere, it doesn't mean data being present on physical server. Instead, all data is placed on virtual server. When we say it's everywhere, it means it is the present, and a market worth $16 billion.
Does cloud hosting work same as standard web hosting? Well, apart from the fact that you can access data anywhere in cloud hosting, both web hosting phenomenon works the same.
However, cloud-based hosting offers many benefits over other options of web hosting. Let's look at some of them.
When you host your website with any cloud providers, you might find the downtime much smaller than compared to other web hosting providers in market. This makes it more reliable to use. Rather than choosing one or two web servers, you get the leverage to choose from millions of servers.
When it comes to web hosting, privacy is the most important concern. So, cloud hosting is more secure than opting for your own server. This is because your virtual server pulls your data under highest security standards. Not only cloud hosting services will prevent virtual servers, but also protect the data. However, both data and servers are not stored together. This way, it becomes much safer. This is also the reason why many opt for Canadian cloud web hosting best companies as they tend to be more reliable.
Do you know how much storage a site needs? Well, the average page size is around 2Mb. So, in reality, you don't need unlimited options as many web hosting packages offer to you. You are all good with standard cloud hosting package that costs around £5 / month.
It's better to have few parked domains for later use. But, this is not essentially offered by most hosting companies. On the contrary, email accounts might have a lot of potential for you. Since you require emails to run your site, the more accounts you'll have access to, the better it will be. Yet, unlimited seems unrealistic as you would hardly need 20 or maximum 100.
While there are number of cloud hosting providers, some offers the best deals and some does not. Harness the best cloud hosting services. With it, you can realize how to save more and grow.

Eight children were rescued from child labour in Hyderabad; They were forced to slog for longer hours
eight children were rescued from child labour in hyderabad
India – The Special Task Force with the Falaknuma police rescued eight child labourers from Hyderabad's production house of two-wheeler seat covers on Thursday.
The owner of the production house, Shaik Taufeeq, was arrested for forcing child labourers to work for longer hours. Out of eight child labourers, six were natives of Bihar, and two were from Hyderabad. The owner is a resident of Fathima Nagar in Falaknuma.
Reportedly, the owner promised poor families that he will provide children with good jobs and money. When they came to the manufacturing unit to work, they found themselves in an unfortunate situation. The owner forced them to work for longer hours. He gave them less money for their work. The children were aged in early and mid-teens. They were kept under unhygienic conditions in Falaknuma. They faced health issues because of the unhygienic conditions. The children were not even provided good food and adequate water to survive and work.

Police claimed that the children were treated as bonded labourers. Their condition was miserable in Falaknuma. They were promised better pay, but they received a very low amount for their work.
The special task force got information about the exploitation. Subsequently, the police raided the manufacturing unit and found children working there forcefully. They neither had enough food to eat nor enough energy to work. After rescuing the child labourers, police shifted them to the children welfare home in Cyberabad. The accused were handed over to the Falaknuma police station.
Earlier, in December 2021, the Rachakonda Anti Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) rescued 16 child labourers from Hyderabad. The children were trafficked there for daily labour work by the company owners and contractors. They were forced to work 12 hours a day and paid up to Rupees 7,000 per month. Child labour is still prevalent in many states of India. It is essential to first combat poverty because this is the root cause of child labour.

Zombie Cafe, Capcom's popular free-to-play mobile romp, is crossing over with Mega Man X. Starting today, players can serve food to X, Zero, Sigma, Iris, Vile and.... Mac! Yes; someone actually remembered Mac!
Players can challenge the event cafe, with a chance to obtain Mac (strength 1-3, with higher chance to obtain him in higher difficulty) and Iris (strength 4 only).
Players can also challenge weak birds and get one of them. Each bird gives a lot of exp when fed to your zombies.
The one in the screenshots, players send up to 6 zombies to fight to the death (unlike the current half that uses current HP, zombies always have full HP in the start of each battle).
Points are based on the difficulty, so the higher the more you receive. Just don't chew more brains than you can eat, as going hard and losing may not grant as many points as going easy and getting a flawless victory. Depending of performance, newcomers will probably be able to get only 1 of the characters.
X (normal) and Zero are gacha only characters. Each gacha requires 30 Toxins. For 300 Toxins players can get 11 (10 + 1 free) random zombies.
Mets only appear as enemies.
-Events and gacha only become available when the player reaches level 8.
-You can't enter an event battle if your Meat Locker is full. Either fed the zombies to others to enhance their strength, or fire them.
Though Zombie Cafe is available internationally on Android and iOS, this crossover promotion is currently exclusive to the Japanese version. The event ends May 9th.
UPDATE: Added event details (thanks, Event Man) and more screens.
OK, why X and Zero are so "MHX" style, but Mega Man is still in a "old-8bit" style?
Because there was a classic Rockman event before in 2014, and Capcom decided to add an 8-bit Rockman to the mix like they did in the Ghosts 'n Goblins event.
By the way, according to the official site, newcomers that complete the tutorial (reach level 3) during the event will receive Dr. Wily as a bonus. Wily was very hard to obtain in the 2014 event, and he is quite strong!
To be honest, I just don't understand any of Capcom's Mega Man-related decisions anymore. First we get sunglasses, and then we get this out of place cameo in an obscure mobile game? I would really like to see Capcom's current business roadmap for the Mega Man IP...assuming they have one.
You can also get Mac on difficulty 4, but man is it tough! I'm yet to get Iris and above half of my team is down after three tries!
I wonder what I should take with the points I gathered in part 2. Those include 3 Mega Man recipes (300P-500P each), Sniper Joe (1000P), Cutman (3000P), Airman (6000P), Dr. Wily (12000P), zombie Dot Rockman (14000P), chef Dot Rockman (7000P), Rush (6000P for a decoration without effects?), and other stuff (Toxins, money, Hatos, Ampoules). Gotta decide before it closes on May 9.
Players gain a free gacha try during the final part, so with luck you may get X, Zero, Zombie X, or X (Full Armor). Worst case scenario you get a 5 stars zombie (like unlucky me...). Either way it will be useful for beginners as those zombies are stronger than the ones that appear in the cafe. Later you can try again for 30 Toxin. You can gather 30 during the current event, so you either try your luck again (also getting other strong zombie to help) or use them on continues (6 toxin each) in later stages and try your luck on getting Sigma (not recommended if your 6 strongest zombies are below lv. 30).
If you live in Japan, you can use real money to buy Zombie X. He will only be available for a limited time. You could also buy Dr. Right and Roll during part 2. You can also get free Toxin like the USA version by doing tasks. While in the USA you can gain 1 Toxin for every 10 ads you watch, in the Japanese you can install apps to get several toxins. Note that many require more than just installing the app, you need to do stuff like register on the app, and in games you need to complete tutorials or reach level X.
The final part is also a survival like part 2, but instead of gathering points in 5 difficulties of your choice, you proceed on levels 1 to 31, each with increased difficulty. Enemies don't recover in this event, so even if you lose, next try they will have the HP they had. Early levels are a breeze, but later you WILL need multiple tries to complete them. There is a pause at Level 16 so players can gather recipes, Levels 17 onward being unlocked later.
Here you can get VAVA at lv. 15 and Sigma at lv. 30. After completing level 21 you have a small random chance to gain Iris or Dot Rockman at the end of a level.
If you complete Lv. 15 before May 4 you get VAVA with Lv. 20, otherwise he will have the default starting level.
There is also a mystery zombie that can only be obtained randomly at the final level.
Chill Penguin appears as an enemy, and the Mets have their appearance from the X series.
At least the artwork is cute.
I find it funny and sad that we see Classic Mega Man as a zombie.
Ooh! I want someone to rip the met sprites!

Woman who gave up her son for adoption shares emotional post on his 47th birthday
A woman who made the painful decision to give her son up for adoption took to Twitter to post an emotional tweet on his 47th birthday.
She said she doesn't know where her son is now and may never know but hopes he is well, happy and loved.
She tweeted: "The son I gave up for adoption is 47 yrs old today. I don't know where he is, or how he is, and I will likely never know. But I think of him all the time—more so, as I age and become ever more aware of my own mortality—and I hope he is well and happy and, most importantly, loved."
Her tweet prompted other mothers who gave kids up to share their stories too.
Also, people who were adopted replied, expressing how they feel towards their birth parents. Most said they have no hard feelings because they believe their birth mother did what was best for them. But some said they do not ever want to meet their birth mother and expressed anger at being given up for adoption.
See some replies below.

Good news! Elf Wally says that the combined efforts of the Wrapping Department at the North Pole and the Wrapping Center on Jingle Bell 1 are having the desired effect — a lot of work is getting done quickly. He is optimistic that Santa cannot outrun their efforts!
One of the many large spaces on Jingle Bell 1 is a huge wrapping center so that elves can keep working on last minute presents for Santa.
The wrapping effort is the last big job of the North Pole and right now there are two crews working – one on the ground at the North Pole and another up in the air on Jingle Bell 1.
Last reports that we received said they are both very busy and making a lot of headway.
We're betting that they help Santa get done faster this year!


Consult the topics in this section to plan the physical environment for the TrueSight Operations Management solution.
These deployment use cases provide an overview of the Operations Management physical architecture and how the component products are connected and communicate with each other and other products. For an introductory overview of the Operations Management functional architecture and the components, see TrueSight Operations Management architecture.
High availability (HA) is a redundancy operation that automatically switches to a standby server if the primary server fails or is temporarily shut down for maintenance. Operations Management supports out-of-the box HA that eliminates the need for third-party software and reduces the manual steps required to deploy.
Disaster recovery is a backup operation that allows you to switch to an alternative Presentation Server (recovery Presentation Server) if the primary Presentation Server fails. Disaster recovery reduces the system down time and provides continued data and service availability by replicating the files between primary and recovery Presentation Servers.
In a service provider and tenant deployment, the service provider hosts and manages the TrueSight systems that enable subscribers (tenants) to effectively monitor their services through application and infrastructure monitoring and to ensure they are meeting Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Tenants deploy the various agents and other monitors on key systems from which the data is gathered and analyzed by the hosted TrueSight environment.
Best practice recommendations are provided throughout this section. For a list of all topics containing best practice recommendations, see Best practices for deploying TrueSight Operations Management.

Q: Can a script be automated after a commit on Perforce? We use Perforce at work, and routinely keep software projects in the repository.  In general creators follow the normal Perforce flow, BUT we also have a class of users, who doesn't have any need to edit the files but only read them.  Currently we use P4Web but that requires the user so download each file individually to reassemble the project directory.  Ideally I would like to have a process where when a user does a commit/submit in Perforce, the script would automatically run to generate a single zip file of the project directory and files, so that it was a one-click download that was guaranteed to be correct against current state of the source files.  I know Git has a post-commit hook which could be used for this, but I can't figure out an equivalent function in Perforce.

A: Short answer: Yes, read the documentation, page 103.
Here is a link to all of the documentation available from Perforce.
Long answer, you can edit the triggers by typing p4 triggers from the command line. You provide the name of the trigger (i.e. "my_archive"), the type of trigger (i.e. change-commit in your case), path (i.e. the //depot/path/to/the/directory/that/contains/the/files/to/zip/...), and the command_path (your script), plus any variables to pass along to your script.
Really, take a look at the docs, it is really quite simple and powerful.

A: If they just need read access, then just give them read access in the p4protect table. That way you avoid having to mess around with snapshots of your repository.

I'm willing to try just about anything once, but I'd have to draw the line on placenta.
So you're ready for some mucus plug then?
Mucus plugs are great as thickeners... like okra.
Everyone knows those are best fresh while they're still warm. Cooking ruins the flavor.
i think so.....welllllll, they do come from the same location.
LMAO, the mods aren't touching this one with a ten foot pole.
It'll be thought provoking, they said.
Or in the sauce/gravy base in a casserole, I'd imagine.
Oh! How about in an escargot dip? Those baguettes won't know what hit 'em.

Silacast is designed to renew your masonry colors and display a continuous wet look appearance. It is not glossy or shiny. It's a proprietary alkyd sealer that penetrates beneath the surface therefore last longer than a film forming or acrylic product. Our multi-polymer emulsion formulation prevents stains and water intrusion.
Note: For stamped concrete applications we recommend Travacast.
ALWAYS PERFORM A SAMPLE TEST FIRST TO APPLICATION TO ENSURE DESIRED RESULTS!!This test also includes applying to a joint area. Test applications should be applied in the same manner as full application.Apply Silicast without dilution to porous concrete, tile, masonry, unglazed tile, natural or artificial stone, clay roof tiles, brick surfaces with a low pressure pneumatic canister or garden type pump sprayer. Use a fine mist setting and apply to substrate until wet, avoiding drips and runs. Product can be re-applied within 2hrs. Allow a minimum of 24 hrs before walking on and 48 hrs before driving on.
NOTE: Silicast performance is comparable to commercially available solvent borne wet look sealers. Solvent sealers have high fumes, cause headaches, irritation to eyes, etc. Silacast is a water based product and built green for the environment.
All substrates vary with different porosity rates. Coverage rates during the summer season improve dramatically during cooler periods (mornings/evenings) of the day. Best to apply with temperatures between 45-80 degrees.

Q: What to do with a build "dist" folder So I finished a very small angular2 project, and build it trough angular-cli with the command "ng build --prod".
I get a "dist" folder out of this. But what should I do with this dist folder in order to make it run ? Publish it to a server ?
Regards.

A: Yes! Upload the contents of the dist folder to your webserver to host it live. This step where you take your finished, built project and send it to the server is often called "deployment".
Depending on where you host your site you may have command line tools available to make deploying your app just as easy as building it (for example, upload to an Amazon S3 bucket with AWS command line tools, firebase deploy with firebase-tools, and even the Angular CLI can deploy to Github's gh-pages with ng github-pages:deploy)

Q: Ember.js QT w/ Javascript Bridge We have a full desktop application based in QT C++ (mac & windows). We utilize webkit to serve up the UI based in HTML and Javascript. We also interact with the C++ via a javascript bridge. I'm doing quite the overhall and incorporating Ember.js as the MVC for a much more modular UI.
My question pertains to the best method for persistance. Should I stick with the Javascript objects we currently utilize, or transition to Ember Data for persistence, and read/write via a function in Ember Data(translation layer)?
Also we utilize webkit, but should I see about instead utilising Node.js rather than strait html/js?
I'd like to not do drastic changes, but I want to do this right. Any advice?

A: From the Ember side, there's no reason to use Ember Data, because Ember works fine without it.  But Ember's infrastructure relies heavily on the API provided by Ember.Observable, which is available to all subclasses of Ember.Object. Similarly, JavaScript arrays will support more Ember features if you use Ember.Array and Ember.MutableArray, although this will happen automatically unless you disable Ember.EXTEND_PROTOTYPES.
So one very reasonable approach would be to port your existing model classes to Ember.Object. That would require, among other things, using get and set to access properties. If you do this, then your objects will be first class Ember citizens, and you'll have access to all the neat features of Ember, including automatic view updates and data bindings.
Here's what Ember.Object looks like, and how it integrates with the rest of Ember:
MyApp.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  firstName: null,
  lastName: null,

  init: function () {
    // You can put more initialization code here.
  },

  // Compute fullName based on firstName and lastName.
  // This will automatically propagate updates when
  // firstName or lastName changes.
  fullName: function () {
    return this.get("firstName") + " " + this.get("lastName");
  }.property("firstName", "lastName")
});

var person = MyApp.Person.create({ firstName: "Jane", lastName: "Doe" })

Then, in an Ember view, you could write something like:
<p>{{person.fullName}}</p>

…and the view would automatically updated whenever firstName or lastName changed. Similarly, you could edit firstName using the following code:
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding="person.firstName"}}

In this example, changes to the text field will be automatically propagated back to the underlying object. (Though you can get clever and build a text field that only propagates changes when the user is done editing.)
If you need to pass property updates from Ember to QT, see the guide to building getters and setters with computed properties or use observers. A lot depends on exactly how you're exposing your C++ APIs via your JavaScript bridge. But as long as you can tie into Ember.Observable somehow, you'll have full access to all of Ember's features.

As our Lord's discourse approaches the mid-point of the seven-year tribulation, verse 14 raises a number of interpretive issues. What exactly is meant by "the gospel of the kingdom?" Is this proclamation still a future event? What does "a witness to all nations" mean? What is meant by "then the end shall come?" ...
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come." - Matthew 24:14
As our Lord's discourse approaches the mid-point of the seven-year tribulation, verse 14 raises a number of interpretive issues. What exactly is meant by "the gospel of the kingdom?" Is this proclamation still a future event? What does "a witness to all nations" mean? What is meant by "then the end shall come?"
Simply put, some believe that "gospel of the kingdom" is the gospel or the message about forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ, as preached in the New Testament epistles. Others, like myself, believe that it is more of a technical term that describes the coming of Christ's kingdom, which we know as the millennium.
The Greek word "gospel" is a compound word made up of "good" and "message." "It meant originally the reward given to the messenger, but came to be used for the good news he brought." [1] The word by itself simply means "good news." Good news about what? Well that depends upon what is being talked about. Here the phrase would mean good news about the kingdom.[2] Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost explains:
During the time that the politico-religious system of the beast is in absolute control, the gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world (Matt. 24:14). The gospel of the kingdom was preached by both Jesus and John (Matt. 3:2; 4:17). This was the announcement of the good news that the kingdom was near. This message had both a soteriological and an eschatological emphasis. . . . The gospel of the kingdom as preached in Tribulation will have two emphases. On the one hand it will announce the good news that Messiah's advent is near, at which time He will introduce the messianic age of blessing. On the other hand it will also offer men salvation by grace through faith based upon the blood of Christ.[3]
The word "kingdom" is used 51 times in Matthew. It is a major theme in Matthew's Jewish gospel. Dr. Stan Toussaint has done an exhaustive study of how "kingdom" is used in Matthew and has concluded as follows: "Every time the term kingdom is used theologically in Matthew it refers to the same thing, the kingdom yet to come on this earth inaugurated and governed by the Messiah." [4] Specifically Dr. Toussaint has the following comments on Matthew 24:14:
What is this "gospel of the kingdom?" It must be the same good news as was described in 3:2; 4:17, 23; and 9:35. Entrance into the coming kingdom was based on repentance; that was and is the gospel of the kingdom. In the context, however, it would also portray the nearness of the kingdom during the Tribulation period.[5]
Fulfillment Timing
There are three basic views of when this passage will be fulfilled. They are past, present and future. Of course, preterist believe that it was fulfilled by A.D. 70. Historicists believe that this passage relates to the fulfillment of the Great Commission during our current church age. Futurists believe that it will be fulfilled during the seven years of the tribulation.

"Matthew 24:14 clearly shows that the gospel would be preached throughout the Roman Empire before Jesus returned in judgment upon Jerusalem," [6] insists preterist Gary DeMar. He further claims:
The word translated "world" in 24:14 is the Greek word oikoumene . . . It is best translated as "inhabited earth," "known world," or the "Roman Empire" (Acts 11:28; 17:6). . . . This translation helps us understand that Jesus was saying the gospel would be preached throughout the Roman Empire before He would return in judgment upon Jerusalem. In fact, this is exactly what happened, and that is what the Bible says happened.[7]
This passage has not been fulfilled in the past,[8] as I shall show later. This is primarily true because the context of Matthew 24 is futuristic, as I have been demonstrating throughout the exposition of Matthew 24.
Historicist
The historicist takes Matthew 24:14 as fulfillment of the Great Commission during our present church age. A. Lukyn Williams says, "So in the present age we are not to expect more than that Christian missions shall reach the uttermost parts of the earth, and that all nations shall have the offer of salvation, before the final appearance of Christ. The success of these efforts at universal evangelization is a mournful problem." [9] This verse is often used at missions conferences as a motivation for becoming a missionary. The Great Commission is sufficient, because this passage relates to evangelism during the tribulation, not for our current church age.
I believe that this passage will be fulfilled in the future, not during the current church age, but during the tribulation. Basically, this is true because the context supports a future fulfillment, since Christ's discourse has not yet been fulfilled.
The Meaning of World
While it is true that "world" oikoumen is used in the New Testament to refer to "the Roman Empire of the first century," its basic meaning is that of "the inhabited earth." [10] This compound word contains the prefix from oikos that means "house," thus the "inhabited" or "lived-in" part of the world. The inhabited world could refer to the Roman Empire if supported by the context (for example Luke 2:1) since Roman arrogance thought that nothing of significance existed outside of their realm. However, this word was earlier "used of the Greek cultural world." [11]
Since the core meaning of oikoumen is "inhabited world," then the scope of its meaning has multiple possibilities depending upon the referent. If the contextual referent is Roman, then it will mean the Roman Empire as in Luke 2:1. However, if its referent is global, then it must include the entire world as in Acts 17:31, which says, "He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness." Surely this speaks of the whole globe since not a single individual will escape God's judgment. Clearly oikoumen can be used globally, even though it may have a more restricted use. The deciding factor is the context. Thus, if Matthew 24:24 was fulfilled in A.D. 70 then it would have a localized meaning as noted by DeMar. However, if it will be fulfilled in the future, then it has the meaning of the entire inhabited world at some future date, which would clearly include much more than the old Roman Empire.
Angelic Evangelism
I believe that Revelation 14:6-7 is a parallel passage to Matthew 24:14. Both speak of global evangelization during the seven-year tribulation, leading up to the second coming of Christ to planet earth. John MacArthur says,
Just before the bowl judgments are poured out and the final great holocaust begins, and just before the increasingly rapid birth pains issue in the kingdom, God will supernaturally present the gospel to every person on earth. He will send an angel with "an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people," saying, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters" (Rev. 14:6-7).[12]
Interestingly both passages are mentioned around the middle of the tribulation. This will likely occur at that time because it is at the mid-point of the seven years that the beast will require the number- six hundred, sixty-six- on either the right hand or forehead of every human being in order to buy or sell (Rev. 13:16-18). Thus, it is important to know that the witness of the gospel is given to every individual in which they are given the opportunity to trust Christ before they take the number. In addition to that, the third angel announces to each individual in the world that there are consequences to taking the number of the beast. "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone . . . forever and ever" (Rev. 14:9-11).
It appears that the tribulation period will be the greatest time of evangelization the world will ever see. There will be normal evangelism, like that which we have today. Then there will be the evangelism of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses (Rev. 7:3-10; 14:1-5), the two witnesses (Rev. 11:3-13), and the angelic evangelism already mentioned. David Cooper explains: "The purpose of preaching the gospel during the Great Tribulation is twofold: first, to give all honest-hearted truth-seekers an opportunity of accepting the Lord Jesus Christ and salvation through Him; secondly, to prepare for judgment those who will not receive a love of the truth in order that God might be just in bringing upon them the terrific plagues foretold in Revelation." [13]
Then The End Shall Come
Earlier Jesus said, "for these things must take place, but that is not yet the end" (Matt. 24:6). Now He says, that after the successful preaching of the gospel of the kingdom to the entire planet, "then the end shall come." "In the background is the OT motif of the nations' end-time conversion to Yahweh (Cf. Isa. 2:2-4; 45:20-22; 49:6; 55:5; 56:6-8; Mic. 4:1-3). Here that conversion heralds the end." [14] The end spoken of here is not the end of the end. It means the end of the age of the tribulation through the second coming of Christ (Matt. 24:27-31). The final end will occur one thousand years later as the millennial kingdom of Christ comes to its end.
Since Matthew 24:14 is a future event, then the gospel will be preached across the globe as described in Revelation 14:6-7. Both passages are set in contexts that tell us that this global evangelization will take place just before the middle of the seven-year tribulation. Craig Kenner says, "Jesus' claim in 24:14 does not imply that all peoples will be converted, but that the kingdom will not come in its fullness until all peoples have had the opportunity to embrace or reject the King who will be their judge (25:31- 32)." [15] This passage was no more fulfilled during the nativity of the church than was the Great Commission. The prophecy of Matthew 24:14, like all of those in that context, awaits a future fulfilment, specifically during the future tribulation. Maranatha!

The Abduction of Ganymede (ca. 1650), by Eustache Le Sueur
In Greek mythology, Ganymede or Ganymedes (/ˈɡænɪˌmiːd/;[1] /ˈɡænɪmiːd/;[2] Ancient Greek: Γανυμήδης Ganymēdēs) is a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Homer describes Ganymede as the most beautiful of mortals, and in one version of the myth Zeus falls in love with his beauty and abducts him in the form of an eagle to serve as cup-bearer in Olympus.
[Ganymedes] was the loveliest born of the race of mortals, and therefore
the gods caught him away to themselves, to be Zeus' wine-pourer,
for the sake of his beauty, so he might be among the immortals.
—  Homer, Iliad, Book XX, lines 233-235.[3]
The myth was a model for the Greek social custom of paiderastía, the socially acceptable romantic relationship between an adult male and an adolescent male. The Latin form of the name was Catamitus (and also "Ganymedes"), from which the English word "catamite" is derived.[4] According to Plato, The Cretans were regularly accused of inventing the myth because they wanted to justify their "unnatural pleasures" (i.e. homosexuality).[5][6]
FamilyEdit
Ganymede was the son of Tros of Dardania,[7][8][9] from whose name "Troy" was supposedly derived, either by his wife Callirrhoe, daughter of the river god Scamander,[10][11][12] or Acallaris, daughter of Eumedes.[13] He was the brother of Ilus, Assaracus, Cleopatra and Cleomestra. [14]
The traditions about Ganymedes, however, differ greatly in their detail, for some call him a son of Laomedon,[15][16] others a son of Ilus[17] in some version of Dardanus[18] and others, again, of Erichthonius[19] or Assaracus.[20]

MythologyEdit
Ganymede was abducted by Zeus from Mount Ida, near Troy in Phrygia.[21] Ganymede had been tending sheep, a rustic or humble pursuit characteristic of a hero's boyhood before his privileged status is revealed. Zeus either summoned an eagle or turned into an eagle himself to transport the youth to Mount Olympus.

In the Iliad, Zeus is said to have compensated Ganymede's father Tros by the gift of fine horses, "the same that carry the immortals",[22] delivered by the messenger god Hermes. Tros was consoled that his son was now immortal and would be the cupbearer for the gods, a position of much distinction.
In Olympus, Zeus granted him eternal youth and immortality and the office of cupbearer to the gods, in place of his daughter Hebe who was relieved of her duties as cupbearer upon her marriage to Herakles. Edmund Veckenstedt associated Ganymede with the genesis of the intoxicating drink mead, which had a traditional origin in Phrygia.[23] All the gods were filled with joy to see the youth, except for Hera, Zeus's consort, who regarded Ganymede as a rival for her husband's affection. Zeus later put Ganymede in the sky as the constellation Aquarius ( the "water-carrier" or "cup-carrier"), which is associated with that of the Eagle (Aquila). A moon of Jupiter, the planet named after Zeus's Roman counterpart, was named Ganymede by the German astronomer Simon Marius.[24]
Ganymede pouring Zeus a libation (Attic red-figure calyx krater by the Eucharides Painter, c. 490–480 BCE)
Plato accounts for the pederastic aspect of the myth by attributing its origin to Crete, where the social custom of paiderastía was supposed to have originated (see "Cretan pederasty").[25] Athenaeus recorded a version of the myth where Ganymede was abducted by the legendary King Minos to serve as his cupbearer instead of Zeus.[26] Some authors have equated this version of the myth to Cretan pederasty practices, as recorded by Strabo and Ephoros, that involved abduction of a youth by an older lover for a period of two months before the youth was able to re-enter society as a man.[26] Xenophon portrays Socrates as denying that Ganymede was the catamite of Zeus, and instead asserting that the god loved him for his psychē, "mind" or "soul," giving the etymology of his name as ganu-, "taking pleasure," and mēd-, "mind." Xenophon's Socrates points out that Zeus did not grant any of his lovers immortality, but that he did grant immortality to Ganymede.[27]
In poetry, Ganymede became a symbol for the beautiful young male who attracted homosexual desire and love. He is not always portrayed as acquiescent: in the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes, Ganymede is furious at the god Eros for having cheated him at the game of chance played with knucklebones, and Aphrodite scolds her son for "cheating a beginner." The Augustan poet Virgil portrays the abduction with pathos: the boy's aged tutors try in vain to draw him back to Earth, and his hounds bay uselessly at the sky.[28] The loyal hounds left calling after their abducted master is a frequent motif in visual depictions, and is referenced also by Statius:
Here the Phrygian hunter is borne aloft on tawny wings, Gargara's range sinks downwards as he rises, and Troy grows dim beneath him; sadly stand his comrades; vainly the hounds weary their throats with barking, pursue his shadow or bay at the clouds."[29]

Ganymede rolling a hoop and bearing aloft a cockerel, a love-gift[30] from Zeus, who is pictured in pursuit on the obverse of a vase by the Berlin Painter (Attic red-figure krater, 500–490 BCE)
One of the earliest depictions of Ganymede is a red-figure krater by the Berlin Painter in the Musée du Louvre.[31] Zeus pursues Ganymede on one side, while on the other side the youth runs away, rolling along a hoop while holding aloft a crowing cock. In fifth-century Athens, vase-painters often depicted the mythological story, which was so suited to the all-male symposium or formal banquet. The Ganymede myth was treated in recognizable contemporary terms, illustrated with common behavior of homoerotic courtship rituals, as on a vase by the "Achilles Painter" where Ganymede also flees with a cock. Ganymede is usually depicted as a well-developed, muscular young man. Leochares (about 350 BCE), a Greek sculptor of Athens who was engaged with Scopas on the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus cast a (lost) bronze group of Ganymede and the Eagle, a work that was held remarkable for its ingenious composition, which boldly ventured to the verge of what is allowed by the laws of sculpture, and also for its charming treatment of the youthful form as it soars into the air. It is apparently imitated in a well-known marble group in the Vatican, half life-size. Such Hellenistic gravity-defying feats were influential in the sculpture of the Baroque.
Renaissance and BaroqueEdit
In Shakespeare's As You Like It (1599), a comedy of mistaken identity in the magical setting of the Forest of Arden, Celia, dressed as a shepherdess, becomes "Aliena" (Latin "stranger", Ganymede's sister) and Rosalind, because she is "more than common tall", dresses up as a boy, Ganymede, a well-known image to the audience. She plays on her ambiguous charm to seduce Orlando, but also (involuntarily) the shepherdess Phoebe. Thus behind the conventions of Elizabethan theater in its original setting, the young boy playing the girl Rosalind dresses up as a boy and is then courted by another boy playing Phoebe.
When painter-architect Baldassare Peruzzi included a panel of The Rape of Ganymede in a ceiling at the Villa Farnesina, Rome, (ca 1509–1514), Ganymede's long blond hair and girlish pose make him identifiable at first glance, though he grasps the eagle's wing without resistance. In Antonio Allegri Correggio's Ganymede Abducted by the Eagle (Vienna) Ganymede's grasp is more intimate. Rubens' version portrays a young man. But when Rembrandt painted the Rape of Ganymede for a Dutch Calvinist patron in 1635, a dark eagle carries aloft a plump cherubic baby (Paintings Gallery, Dresden) who is bawling and urinating in fright.[32] A 1685 statue of Ganymede and Zeus entitled Ganymède Médicis by Pierre Laviron stands in the gardens of Versailles.
Examples of Ganymede in 18th century France have been studied by Michael Preston Worley.[33] The image of Ganymede was invariably that of a naive adolescent accompanied by an eagle and the homoerotic aspects of the legend were rarely dealt with. In fact, the story was often "heterosexualized." Moreover, the Neoplatonic interpretation of the myth, so common in the Italian Renaissance, in which the rape of Ganymede represented the ascent to spiritual perfection, seemed to be of no interest to Enlightenment philosophers and mythographers. Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre, Charles-Joseph Natoire, Guillaume II Coustou, Pierre Julien, Jean-Baptiste Regnault and others contributed images of Ganymede to French art during this period.

ModernEdit
Ganymede (1804) by José Álvarez Cubero
José Álvarez Cubero's sculpture of Ganymede, executed in Paris in 1804, brought the Spanish sculptor immediate recognition as one of the leading sculptors of his day.[34]
Vollmer's Wörterbuch der Mythologie aller Völker,[35] (Stuttgart, 1874) illustrates "Ganymede" by an engraving of a "Roman relief," showing a seated bearded Zeus who holds the cup aside to draw a naked Ganymede into his embrace. That engraving however was nothing but a copy of Raphael Mengs's counterfeit Roman fresco, painted as a practical joke on the eighteenth-century art critic Johann Winckelmann who was growing desperate in his search for homoerotic Greek and Roman antiquities. This story is very briefly told by Goethe in his Italienische Reise.[36]
At Chatsworth in the nineteenth century the bachelor Duke of Devonshire added to his sculpture gallery Adamo Tadolini's Neoclassic "Ganymede and the Eagle," in which a luxuriously reclining Ganymede, embraced by one wing, prepares to exchange a peck with the eagle. The delicate cup in his hand is made of gilt-bronze, lending an unsettling immediacy and realism to the white marble group.
In the early years of the twentieth century, the topos of Ganymede's abduction by Zeus was drafted into the service of commercial enterprise. Adapting an 1892 lithograph by Frank Kirchbach, the brewery of Anheuser-Busch launched in 1904 an ad campaign publicizing the successes of Budweiser beer. Collectibles featuring the graphics of the poster continued to be produced into the early 1990s.
The poem "Ganymed" by Goethe was set to music by Franz Schubert in 1817; published in his Opus 19, no. 3 (D. 544). Also set by Hugo Wolf.
The Portuguese sculptor António Fernandes de Sá represented the abduction of Ganymede in 1898. The sculpture can be found in Jardim da Cordoaria, in Porto (Portugal).
In stories by P. G. Wodehouse, the Junior Ganymede is a servants' club, analogous to the Drones, to which Jeeves belongs. Wodehouse named it after Ganymede presumably in reference to his role of cup-bearer.
Ganymede is a reluctant music fan in Kurtis Blow's 1980 song "Way Out West". After hours of rap by "The Stranger" (Kurtis), he eventually gets up to dance.
American artist Henry Oliver Walker painted a mural in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. circa 1900, depicting an adolescent, nude Ganymede on the back of an eagle.
Ganymede and the god Dionysus make an appearance in Everworld VI: Fear the Fantastic, of K.A. Applegate's fantasy series Everworld. Ganymede is described as attracting both males and females.
My first thought, my first flash was that it was a beautiful woman.... The angel was beautiful, with a face dominated by immense, lustrous green eyes and framed by golden ringlets, and with a bow mouth and full lips and brilliant white teeth.
And only then, only after I had felt that first rush of improbable carnal lust, did it occur to me that this angel was a man.[37]

In 1959 Robert Rauschenberg referenced the myth in one of his best-known works, Canyon and in another work, Pail for Ganymede. In "Canyon", a photo of Rauschenberg's son Christopher beautifully reiterates the infant portrayed by Rembrandt in the 17th century. A stuffed eagle emerges from the flat picture plane with a pillow tied to a piece of string very near his claw. The pillow also reflects upon the young boy's body and Rembrandt's painting.

We believe that institutionalization of public diplomacy in OIC countries will make strategic contributions for them to become efficient international actors. The forum aims to contribute at creating awareness of the necessary scientific studies and at developing joint projects by public bodies and think tanks to fulfill the purpose.
Chairmen of the think tanks from OIC countries, diplomats, bureaucrats, media members, specialists and academicians who are connected with the meeting's subjects are expected to participate in the Forum.
The concept of "Public Diplomacy" will be discussed under the following subtitles: "Public Diplomacy: Theoretical and Conceptual Framework", "The Actors in Public Diplomacy", "Security and Public Diplomacy", "Education, Cultural Activities and Public Diplomacy", "Foreign Policy and Public Diplomacy", Economic Activities and Public Diplomacy".
