Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General
Noon Briefings
The following is a near-verbatim transcript of today's noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General.
**Republic of Korea
The Secretary-General, as you know, is back here in New York. As you will have seen, he was in the Republic of Korea over the weekend, where he attended the sixty-sixth annual DPI (Department of Public Information) NGO conference.
In his opening remarks, the Secretary-General stressed the pivotal role of non-governmental organizations, which, as he put it, are at the vanguard of international action. He recognized their tireless work on climate change, cluster bombs, landmines and human rights, just to mention a few.
He also reiterated his call on Governments to expand some political, economic, social space for NGOs to work freely, without any hindrance.
Turning to the situation within the UN, the Secretary-General expressed his deep disappointed that the Member States on the Economic and Social Council's NGO Committee recently denied the Committee to Protect Journalists consultative status. Furthermore, he re-stated his opposition to the exclusion of LGBT organizations from the upcoming High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS. These NGOs are close to the communities affected by the epidemic and they must be part of the response. The UN is a big tent, he said, and NGOs belong inside.
**Syria
Turning to Syria, the UN is deeply concerned over the fate of an estimated 8,000 Syrians trapped by fighting around the towns of Mare'a and Sheikh Issa in northern Aleppo Governorate following advances in the last three days by Da'esh into areas controlled by non-State armed groups.
An unknown number of people are also unable to flee due to fighting and the closure of the main road leading north [towards] the town of Azaz in north-western Syria. We are deeply concerned that many civilians in these areas are at risk of attack.
Yacoub El Hillo, the UN Resident Coordinator for Syria, called on all parties to the conflict to ensure the unhindered movement and protection of civilians trying to reach safety, as well as their access to life-saving assistance at their current locations or on their way to [other] destinations.
**Iraq
As you will have heard, we will be joined by Lise Grande, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq and Deputy Special Representative in Iraq (UNAMI), and she will brief you on the situation in Fallujah.
**Yemen
Turning to Yemen, the Yemeni peace talks are continuing in Kuwait under the auspices of the Special Envoy, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, who held bilateral meetings with both delegations yesterday.
The Special Envoy said afterwards that violations to the Cessation of Hostilities are unacceptable. He added that economic decline, water and electricity shortages should motivate the parties to redouble their efforts towards reaching a comprehensive and peaceful solution. He said that political bickering will only complicate issues and only a political solution will help resolve them.
**Central African Republic
Just to give you an update on the ongoing investigations being conducted jointly by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on the continuing situation in the Kemo prefecture, in the Central African Republic (CAR). Those investigations are being done jointly with Burundi and Gabon.
OIOS informed us that so far, more than 60 out of the 106 complainants have been interviewed by the joint teams. Witnesses are also being interviewed in order to corroborate the testimonies. The interview process is expected to be finalized in the coming few weeks.
As you know, these allegations date back to 2014 and 2015 and there is a lack of medical, judicial and other physical evidence, which means that the work of the investigators relies primarily on the testimonies of victims and witnesses.
There is progress, but it is going to take time to identify the alleged perpetrators and carry forward the investigation. While the investigations continue, the UN is keeping about 8 to 10 staff in the area at all times.
In addition, UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) and UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and their implementing partners continue to provide psychosocial and legal assistance in the area. A UNICEF partner is also assisting all victims, both minors and adults, during the interviews with OIOS.
We will continue to try to update you as the investigations are ongoing.
**Chad
As you will have seen, on the trial of Hissène Habré, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, said that after years of struggle and many setbacks on the way to justice, this verdict is as historic as it was hard-won, with global ramifications.
He commended the ground-breaking agreement between Senegal and the African Union which enabled this case to proceed, saying that it is an excellent example of regional leadership and ownership in the fight against impunity for international crimes.
We also have a statement from Zainab Hawa Bangura, the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, welcoming the judgment. It represents an important milestone for international criminal justice in Africa and holding former Heads of State to account for sexual violence crimes through the use of universal jurisdiction, she said.
I do expect a statement from the Secretary-General on that, as well.
**South Sudan
Just a note on South Sudan: Our humanitarian colleagues say that following a needs assessment in the Greater Baggari area – that's in Wau County in Western Bahr el Ghazal State — humanitarian partners estimate that about 21,000 people were displaced in various locations there after fighting erupted in February.
The displaced people are sleeping in the open and they are in need of food, shelter, health services and nutritional support. They said that they were surviving by eating wild roots and cassava leaves.
During the assessment, aid workers distributed high-energy biscuits to about 2,000 children and pregnant and lactating mothers. They also treated children suffering from malaria and diarrhoea.
**Gaza
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the execution of three men by authorities in Gaza today despite serious and widespread concerns that international fair trial standards were not respected, and in spite of appeals by many local and international actors to halt the executions.
These executions were carried out without the approval of Palestinian President [Mahmoud] Abbas as required under Palestinian law, effectively denying these men their right to seek pardon or commute their sentence.
The Human Rights Office remains deeply concerned about further planned executions in the near future, and it reiterates that death sentences carried out pursuant to unfair trials are in violation of international law.
**Mali
You will have seen that over the weekend, the Secretary-General condemned the attack against a convoy of the UN peacekeepers in the country (MINUSMA) which killed five peacekeepers from Togo.
The convoy was ambushed by unknown assailants some 30 kilometres west of Sévaré, in the Mopti region.
**UNAIDS
A new report from UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme against HIV/AIDS) shows that the number of people accessing antiretroviral medicines has more than doubled since 2010.
According to UNAIDS, an estimated 17 million people were accessing life-saving antiretroviral medicines at the end of 2015, with an additional 2 million people gaining access over a 12-month period.
This announcement comes as world leaders prepare to gather in New York for General Assembly's High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS, scheduled to take place between 8 and 10 June.
**Tobacco
Today, as you know, is World No Tobacco Day and on this occasion, the World Health Organization (WHO) stresses that recent moves to introduce plain packaging of tobacco products can save lives by reducing demand.
Plain packaging kills the glamour of tobacco products, which is appropriate for a product that kills people, said WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan. There's more information online.
**Press Encounters
Tomorrow we will be joined by Hilde Johnson and Ambassador Abadallah Wafy, Co-Chairs of the External Review of the functions, structure and capacity of the United Nations Police Division, as well as Mark Kroeker, member of the review team.
At 4 p.m., there will be a briefing here by Ambassador François Delattre, the Permanent Representative of France, who will preside over the Security Council for the month of June. And he'll be here to answer your questions, which I will now take.
**Questions and Answers
Yes, sir?
Question: Thank you. You certainly would have heard announcements of the Mayor of Paris to build a refugee camp in Paris. So do you have any comments on that? And what do you say to other countries which have not been particularly forthcoming on this issue? [inaudible]
Spokesman: No, I had not seen that report. Obviously, I think, as the Secretary‑General had said repeatedly and others, there is a global responsibility to take in refugees. The… as it stands now, I think more than 80 per cent of refugees are being hosted by developing countries. And we all expect those countries that have more resources to do more. Mr. Lee?
Question: Sure. You mentioned the Burundian forces in CAR. I wanted to ask you two questions. One is, is it the case that… that, when they repatriate this summer, they will not be replaced? And has Burundi been invited or not invited to this upcoming UN police event that will take place here in Headquarters this week?
Spokesman: I don't know on your first one. And on the second, we can check who the participants are.
Question: Also on Burundi, on press freedom, there was… on 30 May, the Minister of Public Safety put out a statement basically accusing various journalists, some by name, of promoting of crime and violence. And so I wonder whether the Secretary‑General's statements that he made in Korea about free… freedom of expression, etc., apply there and also in Egypt. I'm waiting for a statement there… [inaudible]
Spokesman: They apply across the board. We, obviously, have seen the reports of new charges being brought against the Union of Journalists in Egypt. We remain concerned at the situation. We're following it closely. Nizar?
Question: Yeah, yesterday the Bahrainian authorities sentenced Sheikh Ali Salman, the leader of the opposition, for nine years in jail for no evident crime. Do you have any statement on it?
Spokesman: I have not seen… I don't have anything on that for today but I…
Question: I asked about this last week, and it was due… the sentence was due yesterday. So…
Spokesman: I will check.
Question: Even the Human Rights Council… [inaudible]
Spokesman: I will get back to you.
Question: And the Saudi 31 people who are yet to be sentenced to death. Do you have anything?
Spokesman: Again, I think we reiterate and continue to reiterate our full opposition to the death penalty.
Question: Another…
Spokesman: I'll come back to you. Olga and then James.
Question: Thank you, Stéphane. According to the last ISSG (International Syria Support Group) communiqué, the airdrops on Syria should start tomorrow, 1 June. So what's the assessment of the situation on the ground? Is it needed, and will the airdrops start tomorrow?
Spokesman: Obviously, we hope to have a bit more tomorrow. The humanitarian situation has clearly not improved, and our colleagues at WFP (World Food Programme) and the humanitarian family are looking at the situation closely, and we're aware of the 1 June deadline. Mr. Bays?
Correspondent: It's answered.
Spokesman: Excellent. Yes?
Question: Thank you, Stéphane. DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) attempted to fire another ballistic missile on Tuesday. Does Secretary‑General have a view on that?
Spokesman: I think the Secretary‑General's view on the DPRK is unchanged and that the Security Council resolutions and sanctions should be fully applied and that the DPRK authorities should cease provocative actions. Abdelhamid?
Question: Stéphane, it seems that the SG was disappointed with the International Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul. What is your assessment? He was especially critical of the absence of the P5. What do you say to that?
Spokesman: Well, I'll just say what he said, which is basically he was… I think he saluted Angela Merkel's presence. He was disappointed at the lack of high‑level representation of the G7 and other… and I think other wealthy countries. I think he was pretty clear in his position. Evelyn?
Question: Yes. The Houthis are accused of… of launching a ballistic missile into… into Saudi Arabia. Do… is there any news on that, aside from…
Spokesman: I don't have any… we don't have any confirmation from our end, but, obviously, I think, as the Special Envoy says, any violation of cessation of hostilities is unacceptable.
Correspondent: [inaudible]
Spokesman: I'll come back to you, Nizar.
Question: Thank you. Stéphane, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claim that dozens of civilians have been killed in Idlib by… claimed that Russian air strike. Do you have any information on Secretary‑General on that?
Spokesman: We have no ability to confirm who was responsible. What we do know from our partners on the ground that there were, indeed, reports of multiple air strikes, including on the national hospital, killing about 28 people, including local aid workers and, I think, wounding more than 200 people. Any targeting of civilians, civilian infrastructure, hospitals, is to be condemned in no uncertain terms. We call on all parties to the conflict to ensure the protection of civilians and to immediately stop these attacks.
Question: It's in Idlib, right?
Spokesman: Yes, sir. Mr. Lee?
Question: Sure. I want to ask about Cambodia and South Korea. On Cambodia, has your office issued a statement of concern about the crackdown there? Because some… they are saying that it was issued and it was stunningly timid. They said it didn't capture… that it's basically Hun Sen cracking down on the opposition. It's not a two‑sided thing. So I was looking at the counter there. Has there been a statement on Cambodia?
Spokesman: I always appreciate the analysis of our response. We were asked and we answered. There was no statement issued, and since I… I take it you're asking what our position is. The Secretary‑General is, indeed, concerned about the escalating tensions between the ruling and the opposition parties in Cambodia, particularly the arrests or attempted arrests of parliamentarians, who enjoy parliamentary immunity. A non‑threatening environment of democratic dialogue is essential for political stability and a peaceful and prosperous society.
Question: All right. But you've seen the criticism that this seems to sort of equate the opposition that's getting arrested with the…
Spokesman: I think people are free to analyse and dissect our statements. We would expect that is the case.
Question: On that note, I wanted to ask about… the Secretary‑General, I saw that when he left South Korea, he said that he'd been misunderstood; there had been too much coverage of his… what was widely, widely reported as his attempt to… or… or… seeming intention to run for President. And so he said, "I would add that the coverage of what was supposed to be an off‑the‑record meeting with the Kwanhun Club has led to over‑reaction, over-interpretation." I forget… Apparently, you were there. Was it off the record? Because I'd asked about it here whether a transcript would be released. It was said that it would be exclusive sometimes with groups of journalists. I saw a photo. It's like a lot of journalists, like more than a dozen. If, in fact, it was misunderstood… many people reported it. They were there. Was it off the record? Was it an exclusive? What did he say?
Spokesman: There was a meeting that he organized with a group of senior Korean journalists. Part of it was on the record. Part of it was off the record. Whether it's a one‑on‑one interview or a group interview, we would not release a transcript. I mean, we release transcripts of his press conferences. The basic message from the Secretary‑General is that, up until the very last day of the mandate that's been given to him by Member States, he will focus on being Secretary‑General and fulfilling that mandate. Once that mandate is over, he will then decide how best to be a productive global citizen, but his… that decision will come after he leaves office.
Question: But since he's the Secretary‑General now, I wanted to ask you about that 1946 General Assembly resolution. There seems to be a resolution that's still on the books that says that, even… particularly right after retirement, a Secretary‑General should not have a position in a Government, given confidences he's received from Governments. So that's on the books now. Does it apply?
Spokesman: Obviously, he's aware of the resolution, and the rest is just speculation, because he will make up his mind as to what he will do after his term as Secretary‑General ends. Nizar and then Abdelhamid.
Question: Yeah. On… on Yemen, why is it that Mr. Cheikh… Ould Cheikh Ahmed criticized or issues a statement when the attack is on Saudi Arabia, whereas daily air strikes by Saudi Arabia were not mentioned by him at all…?
Spokesman: I think… Nizar, with all due respect, I think you're misinterpreting what he said. He said all violations of the cessation of hostilities are unacceptable. And I think that is his message… blanket message across the board.
Question: Okay. On Hodeidah, there are reports coming from Hodeidah that people are starving there, that bombardment continues unabated, and that no real goods are going into Hodeidah, which is a very big city and it's the biggest seaport in Yemen.
Spokesman: Is there a question mark?
Question: Well, what's… what's the situation there…?
Spokesman: I don't… I'm looking for… we hope to get some… I don't have any information on the situation in Hodeidah right now, but if I can get an update for you, I will.
Question: How… how about the… the inspection and verification mechanism?
Spokesman: That is… [inaudible] It is continuing. We'll see if we can get you an update on exactly what they've been doing, but it's fully functional.
Question: If Hodeidah is not getting anything so how is…
Spokesman: Nizar, you can keep asking me these questions on this issue. If I have something, I will share it with you. Abdelhamid?
Question: Stéphane, is the Secretary‑General aware that the leader of the Frente Polisario, Mohamed Abdelaziz, passed away? Do we expect any statement?
Spokesman: We just saw that a little earlier. We obviously express our condolences to his family, and we may have a little bit more to say.
Speaking on having more to say, I was just given a statement on the judgment against Hissène Habré:
The Secretary‑General takes note of the delivery yesterday by the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese Court of the trial judgment in the case against Hissène Habré.
The Secretary‑General's thoughts are with the victims of the crimes for which Hissène Habré has been found guilty.
The former President of Chad, has been found guilty of forced sexual slavery, voluntary homicide, kidnappings of individuals followed by their disappearances, summary executions and torture.
The Secretary‑General congratulates the African Union, and in particular Senegal, on the establishment of the Extraordinary African Chambers and expresses his gratitude to all those States who have contributed to this achievement.
The delivery of this judgment marks a historic day for the people of Chad, the region and beyond, as well as for international criminal justice. The judgment sends a strong signal to those who would perpetrate serious crimes of international concern, including those at the highest echelons of political power, that they will be held accountable for their actions.
Question: Yes. Steph, has the Secretary‑General weighed in on the crisis between the Fulani herdsman in Nigeria and farmers?
Spokesman: No, but let me see if I can get something on that for you. Go ahead.
Question: Yeah, the chief negotiator of the Syrian opposition has resigned. So… of course, there was a statement by the… I think by Mr. [Staffan] de Mistura but what does the Secretary‑General have to say about it? And do you share some analysis that the… the negotiations are actually on the verge of collapse?
Spokesman: On your second part, I'm not going to start doing postgame analysis while a game is still going on. I think the… we're waiting for a new date for the negotiations to be announced. Obviously, we need to see a lowering of the violence, and we need to see greater humanitarian access. On the resignation of the HNC (High Negotiations Committee) negotiator, we've seen it. It's an internal decision of the HNC. We will, of course, work with all the parties and with the groups as necessary. Matthew, then Nizar.
Question: Sure. I wanted to ask you, in Haiti, I'm sure you've seen the… the commission that came out and said basically it should all be redone, that the election was so fraud-ridden. So I'm wondering given… you know, MINUSTAH's (United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti) there. What is the position of the UN on that?
Spokesman: We've obviously seen the report. We're taking a look at it; hope to have more to say a bit later.
Question: And the Fijian… the Fijians have said they're either redeploying from or are pulling back from UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force) and Sinai and also separately a proposal they have for some special passport status for their peacekeepers. But more in terms of just the staffing of the mission, what is… is there an attempt… will there be an attempt to replace them? What's the…
Spokesman: I have not been told of any changes in the staffing. Nizar, and then we'll go to the guest.
Question: You mentioned the… about the besieged town of Mare'a by ISIS. Also, you said that some non‑state groups are bombarding or encircling the town. How about the bombardment through the… across the border with… between Turkey and A'zaz and Mare'a, which is the same region? Are you aware about it…? And also what's the position on that?
Spokesman: From where we stand, we want to see a cessation… a lowering of the violence across the board in Syria so as to create a more positive atmosphere for the talks and greater humanitarian access. All right. I'm going to make sure we can dial in our guest. I'll be right back.
For information media. Not an official record.

A New York Times bestseller. Longlisted for the Financial Times / Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
Since Aristotle, we have fought to understand the causes behind everything. But this ideology is fading. In the age of big data, we can crunch an incomprehensible amount of information, providing us with invaluable insights about the what rather than the why. We're just starting to reap the benefit: tracking vital signs to foresee deadly infections, predicting building fires, anticipating the best moment to buy a plane ticket, seeing inflation in real time and monitoring social media in order to identify trends.
But there is a dark side to big data. Will it be machines, rather than people, that make the decisions? How do you regulate an algorithm? What will happen to privacy? Will individuals be punished for acts they have yet to commit? In this groundbreaking and fascinating book, two of the world's most-respected data experts reveal the reality of a big data world and outline clear and actionable steps that will equip the reader with the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution.
Viktor Mayer-Schonberger is Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University following a decade on the faculty of Harvard's Kennedy School. He is one of the most respected authorities on what is happening in the big data arena. His book, Delete : The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age, is considered a seminal work on the ever-presence of data.

Review: The Sinner by Margaret Mallory ★★★★★
The Sinner by Margaret Mallory
Genre: Historical Romance (Highlanders, clans, 16th century, explicit sex scenes, feisty heroine)
Series: The Return of the Highlanders #2
Publication Date: November 1, 2011
IRRESISTIBLE DESIRE
Alex MacDonald is known for his skill as a warrior, his prowess with women, and his vow to never take a wife. But now his chieftain has asked him to make the ultimate sacrifice: wed Glynis MacNeil, a lass famed throughout the Highlands for her exquisite beauty-and defiant ways.
Familiar with heartbreak, Glynis refuses to fall for another handsome scoundrel. Yet when Alex's past sins force an unlikely union, Glynis gives in to temptation and becomes his wife. Will their newfound passion be strong enough to fight the enemy that threatens their home, their clan, and their very lives?
Favourite!
As a self-confessed Urban Fantasy fanatic it probably seems weird that I have this big soft spot for historical romance. Not all the time, but every now and again I just need some real romance, you know? And to me, no one does that better than a hunky highlander or a fearsome knight. They have to be warriors of some sort for my liking- no rakes, rogues, fops or dandies for me, thank you. I want battle-worn men with the scars to prove it. This is for two reasons: Reason one. Hello? Warriors, swords, big muscles, yeah, yeah, yeah, I really am that shallow. And reason two: slightly less shameful, it's because this generally means that the book will contain some kind of battle/conflict/fight scenes to keep my action-loving tomboy alter ego happy.
This book is quite simply one of the best of this genre I have read. It pretty much had everything I could hope for in a highlander romance.
The dialogue was one of my favourite parts. So authentic (or at least it seemed so to me). The banter was excellent, the stories that the characters would tell around a camp fire really served to bring them to life for me. I could imagine their lilting brogue as if I were sat amongst them.
The characters themselves were very enjoyable. After my initial worry over Alex's womanising ways - I'm not always a big fan of men who believe themselves God's gift to women- I grew to greatly appreciate his character and the changes he went through during the course of the book. The transformation was convincing and I genuinely believed it was sincere, which often isn't the case with former "sinners". Once a player, always a player as Jerry Springer would say.
Equally delightful was Glynis. From the initial encounter in her "disguise" to the very last pages, she was someone whom I respected and could easily empathise with. There was not a moment of whining from her regardless of the circumstances. She really was a great female lead.
I was very invested in both of these characters. Although sometimes I did want to scream at them to talk to each other, and indeed there were some painful, heart-rending moments to go through along the way, but to me, this just proves how good the book was. That I was so engrossed I felt the heartache right along with them.
The main story and the two or three sub-plots were all well paced. There was a great climactic finish which was very satisfying also. And a lovely epilogue as the cherry on the cake.
This is book two in a four-part series featuring each of the four warriors I met in this book. I know now that I will be reading the rest of them at some point. And I recommend that you do, too.

I've been lucky enough to have worked a lot recently in TV, and I just realized something cool. Guess what? A majority of my directors lately have been women. In fact, three of my last four guest star jobs were directed by women.
And every one of them is among the best in the industry. (Which is obviously a prerequisite, because for every episode, the director's firmly in the hot seat.) Every one of them handles her job with authority, humor, compassion and incredible skill. I'm so proud to have worked with these amazing women. Here are just three of them.
Check it out: Fresh Off the Boat (episode "Rancho Contento" airing 3/15/19 on ABC) directed by Jude Weng:
The Cool Kids (episode "The Cool Kids Un-Retire" airing 3/15 on Fox) directed by Kimberly McCullough:
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (episode "PTSDee" available on Amazon) directed by Jamie Babbitt:
Yeah, yeah, there's a loooong way to go before women have achieved equality in the workplace, parity of compensation, equal opportunities and recognition. But these hardworking directors are going the distance to make it happen. They deserve a round of applause.

By SuperFolder CJ
NOTE: This story takes place in an alternate Origami Yoda Universe, where, after the kids defeat Rabbski and FunTime, Dwight realizes that McQuarrie just isn't the place for him. And, in true Ahsoka style, Dwight leaves the halls of McQuarrie Middle School, leaving Tommy, Kellen, Sara, and the others in total darkness. . . . .
The first day of eighth grade started like this:
I was sitting in the library, folding origami, thinking about the last thing Dwight said to me. Sorry Tommy, but I'm not coming back.
I mean, I understand. That whole Rabbski/FunTime thing was so crazy, even I thought about leaving the school. And even then, Dwight said I know.
McQuarrie was paperless. No Dwight meant no Origami Yoda. And no Origami Yoda meant no Darth Paper, no Fortune Wookiee, no Art2-D2, and no Jabba the Puppett.
So there I was, almost finished with my Emergency Yoda (hey, if this isn't an emergency, what is?) when this kid came over. He was wearing a green shirt and blue pants, and he was holding some sort of origami.
"What's that?!" Harvey said, rudely, "Toucan Sam?"
"No," the kid said, "it's Kirigami Boga!"
"Kirigami Boga?" Kellen perked up, "Cool! Can I see it?"
Kellen reached over, but the kid snapped back his arm so fast, I only saw a green and blue blur.
"Nobody but me touches it!" he said, "I worked really hard on it! I don't want anyone breaking it!"
"Well, it's already kirigami," Harvey said, "so ripping it up a little bit more wouldn't be so bad!"
Harvey ran over, trying to grab at the kid's kirigami hand puppet.
"No!" he yelled, pushing Harvey back into some chairs. The clatter was so loud, any onlookers would've thought that an atom bomb had gone off, which, judging by the kirigami Boga kid's expression was just about to happen.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH IT!!!" he said, walking over to Harvey, and kicking him as he was trying to get up. He was pinning Harvey to the ground with one foot.
"Hey! Kid!" I yelled, realizing I still didn't know the guy's name.
He turned toward me, with a burning anger in his eyes. I didn't want to mess with this kid.
"What? You want Kirigami Boga, too?!?" he yelled. At this point, Mrs. Calhoun was going to expel us all.
"No! I just want to know. . . who the heck are you?"
"My name," the kid started, "is Doug Jones. And now, I'm angry."
What a swell start to eighth grade.
Mrs. Calhoun's Wrath
I was playing pencil podrace, and I was just about to flick my pencil. That's when I heard a big bang which made me flick the pencil in the wrong direction and right into a cave wall. I whipped my head around to see Harvey being squashed like a bug under some new kid's foot.
Just then, Mrs. Calhoun walked over to Tommy, the new kid, and Harvey, who was still laying on the ground. Her face was red with anger, and I was sure that she would put them in some deep detention. But something amazing happened. When the new kid turned around a looked at Mrs. Calhoun, they were both shocked.
"Doug Jones, is that you?" she asked.
"Aunt Teresa?" Doug asked.
They both gave each other a big hug and talked about things.
"The last time I saw you was when you were five!" said Mrs. Calhoun.
"Yeah, that's one of the reason I wanted to come here," said Doug.
I felt happy for them (even though I lost pencil podrace). I mean, seeing someone that you haven't seen for years should make you happy. I almost started to cry.
Later that day, Mrs. Calhoun told me and a few other people that Doug had a few anger issues. She asked if we could be nice to him and try to be friends. I would do that, of course, but I don't know about Harvey…

Some pretty major advances made in the past two weeks - due to the small army of workers I have on the payroll.
...and a kitchen (which still needs the granite worktop, a few electronic touches, and tiling).
Floor tiles in the bathroom have turned out well.
Health and safety being paramount, only one joiner at a time had to tight rope walk in the dark to finish the 'wall of glass'. It's not quite as dangerous as it looks, as if he had slipped his fall would have been broken by the circular saw directly below.
But the risk was worth it as I have to say, they have done a stunning job.
below: The upstairs lounge getting its final touches from The Bruce and Scott the sparkie.
Four weeks today we should be waking up in the new house for the first time.
Just done the local community bit (roving paparazzi) - photos of the fete and raft race are up on the village website.
It's been one of those mornings.
We are trying to get a courier to take our granite worktop template (it's 1:1 scale) down to Leeds to get the granite cut.
The first two couriers turned us down as they don't pick up from residential properties. The next two turned us down as the parcel is 2.4 metres long. The next one turned us down as they don't travel that far north. Finally we found one that could do it on a 'three day guaranteed'.
We booked them on Friday, but of course they couldn't come on Friday, so we expected them today, but their three day guaranteed means three days to PICK IT UP - then three days to deliver it. As this takes in two weekends, the 'three day guaranteed' will take 11 days.
I'd like to book the removal vans for Tue 29th August please.
That is bank holiday week.
You don't work that week?
Fine.. so can I get our stuff picked up on Tuesday 29th?
We'd have to charge you more.
Because it's bank holiday week.
You have a bank holiday week when everyone else has a bank holiday weekend?
Why do you charge more in the week containing a bank holiday?
I'll have to ask my supervisor. I'll ring you back.
I've got half a dozen more house related phone calls to make this morning... maybe I could just go out and lie in a field instead.
I just penned a post listing the 41 people I had contacted so far this week regarding the build and the move.
Assuming that some of you out there have lives, I decided to save you time by replacing the whole list with one name.
WARNING TO THOSE AT WORK (and shouldn't be wasting time reading this)... there is sound on the next page!

Chris Wallace: Trump's Attacks on the Media Bother Me, But There 'Absolutely' Is Bias in Mainstream Media
Ian Hanchett
On Friday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," FNC anchor Chris Wallace stated that President Trump's "unprecedented" criticisms of the media bother him, in particular, the president criticizing the press during his news conference with the presidents of Baltic nations. Wallace added that there is clearly bias in the mainstream media.
Wallace said, "Well look, I think there are two things that are going on here, and I think they can both be true. I think that the president has been engaged in — and I've said this before — in an unprecedented attack on the media. As a member of the media, maybe not a member of the mainstream media, but a member of the media, and I've been doing this for almost half a century, it bothers me. I was particularly distressed, I have to say, when the president held that joint news conference with the three presidents of the Baltic nations, and — you know, it's one thing when we fight amongst ourselves, it's a different thing when it's on the international stage — talked about the fake media. You know, I've never heard a president bash the media when it's on — when he's dealing with foreign leaders."
He added, "On the other hand, do I think that there is bias among members of the mainstream media? Absolutely. You can see it on the front pages of some newspapers. You can see it on the lead on some of the newscasts that — or so-called newscasts of some of our competitors. So, I think both of those things are true. And I'm not sure that it's especially healthy for the country."

"2012: Time For Change" is a thought-provoking, once-over-lightly examination of New Age theories.
Sting identifies himself as a tree hugger, and describes the psychedelic jungle experience that turned him into one.
David Lynch claims to have lost his anger as a result of years of daily doses of transcendental meditation.
Ellen Page, star of "Juno," describes coming down from a sudden rise to fame by shoveling goat manure. And loving it.
Celebrity testimonies count for quite a bit in the New Age documentary "2012: Time For Change," but the person with the most screen time is Daniel Pinchbeck, author of "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl." He's a kind of guide through an 85-minute discussion that touches on string theory, apocalyptic prophecies, cultural shifts and the long-term impact of 1960s protest movements.
It concludes that the planet, running low on water and other essentials, is headed for a crucial time of transformation. But it's not all bad news.
The movie begins at the beginning, with an animated version of a creation myth that includes references to a great storm and a great flood. Evolution is covered in a bone-throwing episode lifted from "2001: A Space Odyssey," and there are hopeful references to Joseph Campbell and Buckminster Fuller (who appears in archival clips).
At its best, it's a thought-provoking examination of some of the same issues explored in "Avatar," "Crude" and Hollywood's bigger-budget 2009 disaster epic, "2012." According to the distributor, all screenings will include panel discussions with members of the film team.


With reports of permanent closings for established downtown businesses as well as the temporarily shuttering of another for six months, rumors of vibrant vendor activity occurring over at the Urban Emporium (UE) are welcome indeed.
"Our recruitment effort for tenants has been rigorous and focused since I've arrived," Kati Lovvorn, the UE's director said.
"The local economy has improved somewhat and it seems that more people are looking to open start-up businesses. The UE is now in its fourth year of existence, people see that we have staying power and I believe are now deciding it is the time to try retail downtown. Social media and word of mouth has also been a big contributor to our new tenants," Lovvorn said.
Since inception, the incubator's mission has been to help aspiring entrepreneurs start a business from scratch and/or assist helping existing retailers expand their current footprint. The Urban Emporium provides staffing, point-of-sale equipment, inventory and loss prevention controls to enterprising companies with the intent of facilitating a lowered entry barrier into the downtown market.
In roughly 90 days, five new businesses have joined the ranks of the Urban Emporium: Little Smack Boutique offering upscale brands of baby, toddler clothes and accessories; EllenJAY Stylish Events + Sweets producing a variety of custom sweet treats; Bottega Collection Boutique designing women's contemporary clothing, scarves and handbags; Frios Gourmet Pops making gourmet popsicles from local dairy and Chic Jolie Boutique selling women's clothing and accessories.
"Kari Benson, owner of Frios, has made the UE her second location — her original store is at the Windmill market in Fairhope," Lovvorn said.
Since opening their first store in October 2014, EllenJAY co-owners Lauren Kapluck and Jennifer Christ have been extremely busy with custom orders at their midtown Mobile location.
"When our customers started to ask for something sweet on a daily basis rather than just for special occasions, we decided to open a second retail location inside the Urban Emporium. In less than two months, our business has already benefitted from this partnership," Kapluck said.
Tippy Toes and Dancin' Clothes have leased 1,600-square-feet of retail space at 19 Shelton Beach Road in Saraland. Amber Dedeaux of Vallas Realty brokered the transaction. The dancing attire retailer expects to be open in their new space by May 1.
Infirmary Health System, Inc. recently purchased a 24,157-square-foot building on State Highway 181 in Daphne across from the Eastern Shore Center for $2.4 million. The property sits on a 1.90-acre lot on Woodrow Road facing the highway.
The building was originally constructed for Basset Furniture, but was converted to office and retail use in 2012. The property was foreclosed on in 2014 and the Infirmary purchased it from the lender. Vallas Realty, Inc. was the real estate firm that handled the transaction and it was closed with Surety Land Title.
According to Richard Weavil of the Weavil Company, a 20,000-square-foot property located at 1015 Montlimar Dr. in Mobile was leased by Altapointe Health Systems. Weavil represented the tenant and the Bender Real Estate Group worked for the landlord.
Two businesses in Southwood Place Shopping Center across from Providence Hospital have added space. Pour Baby Wine Bar and Restaurant has leased a 1,000-square-foot space adjacent to their current location and formerly occupied by Olivella, a specialty oil, vinegars and artisan foods retailer.
In turn, Olivella has relocated within the shopping center into a 1,200-square-foot retail space with plans for a new grand opening slated for Saturday, March 14. Pratt Thomas with the Merrill P. Thomas Co. Inc. handled both transactions.
Dollar Tree has leased 9,600-square-feet of retail space in Overlook Shopping Center for a new store to be located at 5301 Moffett Road. Amber Dedeaux of Vallas Realty represented the landlord and Jonathan Rudolph of Rudolph Development Group, Inc. worked for the tenant.
A speculator recently paid $280,000 for two former Habitat for Humanity of Southwest Alabama properties currently owned by a local bank and located at 4128 Government Blvd. in Mobile. Bob Craft of REMAX represented the buyer. M.J. Baxter & Associates worked for the seller.
Former general manager of Roberts Brothers, past President of the Mobile Area Association of Realtors (MAAR) and 2014's Realtor of the Year, Sue Winter recently opened a small business coaching and consulting firm called Great Ideas, Inc. Goals of the firm are to help clients enhance customer service, grow the business's sphere of influence and facilitate the development of best practice ideas.
"I'm excited to be working with creative, entrepreneurial and community-minded owners who recognize the value of an 'IDEA' approach supported by a different perspective," Winter said.
"Walkable, mixed-use urban communities are rapidly growing in popularity, both nationally and locally, driven by the desire for the social interaction of great neighborhoods. The goal of this event is to introduce more Mobilians to an opportunity in their own backyard," Fred Rendfrey, DMA's director of downtown economic development said.
Fifteen properties will be open to view on the tour, all of them currently on the market for sale. Visitors will see a great diversity of housing options: historic homes, condominiums, apartment houses and houses converted into office use.
The goal of the tour is to focus on residential properties; either a house ready to occupy or one built as a single-family structure, with a current commercial use, that is awaiting conversion into a new residence. A diversity of housing options will be seen by visitors.
Members of the real estate industry who visit a minimum number of properties on the tour will also be eligible to win several prizes from downtown businesses, according to the press release.
"The Downtown Open House is more than a tour; it is an opportunity to experience the downtown lifestyle. A list of properties is on the Downtown Mobile Alliance's website and maps for the free, self-guided tour will be available in Bienville Square on the day of the event," Rendfrey said.

Q: Skip CXF interceptor for one of the methods in webservices I have CXF Interceptor that checks field in SOAP header. I want to skip this check for a single method.
Is it possible to do it without parsing soap and checking for method name (for example, annotation).
Thank you!

A: An interceptor gets executed even before CXF has started parsing the xml message (actually I use them to change the xml parser secure factory implementation class :P ), so I think what you need is not supported by the architecture (or at least I am unable to find it, if someone wants to bring some light here I will thank it too).
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/interceptors.html
May you separe your functionality in 2 webservices, each one with different interceptors and validation levels?

A: If you put your interceptor fairly late in the chain (USER_LOGICAL for example), you can grab the BindingOperationInfo object from the exchange to determine which operation was used to process the body.   From there, decide wether to look at the SOAP headers or not.

The Stream, April 20: Detroit Begins Another Round of Water Shutoffs
April 20, 2017 /in The Stream /by Brett Walton
Nearly 18,000 households in Detroit — 25 percent fewer than last year — are behind on their water bills and risk having water service shut off if they do not negotiate a payment plan. Kenyan farmers work to protect wetlands during a harsh drought that southern Ethiopian herders say is unlike any in memory. Villagers in Nepal accuse an illegal mining operation of drying up water sources. Global temperatures last month were the second highest on record for March.
"We call this drought sima. It means 'everyone is affected'. Even when I was a child, no one spoke of a drought like this one." — Abdu Karim, an 82-year-old herder in southern Ethiopia, speaking about the region's devastating three-year drought. Having collectively lost an estimated $US 200 million worth of livestock, herders like Karim are increasingly reliant on government and international aid. IRIN News
17,995: Households in Detroit that are behind in paying their water bills and could have service shut off starting this week. The water department director said that residents were given 10 days advance notice and have the option of negotiating a repayment plan. He expects 90 percent of those eligible for shutoffs to do so and maintain water service. Detroit Free Press
In context: Average monthly household water use and average monthly bills for 30 large U.S. cities
The average March land and ocean temperature was 1.89 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average for the month. It was the second warmest March in the 138-year record. NOAA
Following the country's first national wetlands management policy, finalized in February, Kenyan officials and non-governmental partners are working with farmers and herders to protect the shallow water bodies during a harsh drought. They are planting species such as bamboo to prevent erosion and promoting eco-tourism to diversify farm incomes. Reuters

The plans for the new primary school at St Josephs in Swindon are ambitious in both time and sustainability; it has to be built in time for the 2014 intake using low impact construction methods to create a highly insulated and airtight building.
The Cullinan Studio design embraces modern methods of construction, working rigorously with a pattern book of structural elements and creating a building that we think is greater than the sum of its parts.
Smith and Wallwork sat along side the client and team in producing supporting documents for the planning application including flood risk assessment, SuDS design and providing input to the school travel plan.
