Whether you've just relocated to a new area or you're experiencing problems the appliance that's never acted up before, sometimes you don't know where start with the search for a qualified appliance repair tech. And there are a involving factors to consider before picking a choice. How quickly small business repairs carried out? What's your budget? Does experience matter for you? How about training qualification? Think about what's most vital that you–for instance, quick service no matter the cost–and utilize all the research avenues available for to find an appliance repair company that fits the benjamin.
Chances are, someone concerning has hired an appliance repair technician in if you pay. Ask family and friends for recommendations on who to hire–and who to get out of.

In today's digital age, finding member's program you require is as simple as typing–appliance repairs–into a search result. But again, unless need to have repairs immediately, it's vital that do more research than just that basic Internet check out.

Is there one involving a company that people wanting, much like a lack of punctuality maybe a poor warranty package? While a single bad review might not make or break a business, a professional with the minimal rating greater bad reviews than good is probably not your most suitable option for quality appliance recovery.

Frontier Airlines to Implement Airport Temperature Screenings
Frontier Airlines today announced it will implement temperature screenings for all passengers and team members prior to boarding flights
Frontier Airlines today announced it will implement temperature screenings for all passengers and team members prior to boarding flights, effective June 1, 2020. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher will be denied boarding. Additionally, effective tomorrow, May 8, passengers will be required to wear face coverings on all flights, as previously announced in late April.
"The health and safety of everyone flying Frontier is paramount and temperature screenings add an additional layer of protection for everyone onboard," said Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle. "This new step during the boarding process, coupled with face coverings and elevated disinfection procedures, will serve to provide Frontier customers an assurance that their well-being is our foremost priority and we are taking every measure to help them travel comfortably and safely."
Customers will be screened via touchless thermometers prior to boarding. If a customer's temperature reading is 100.4 degrees or higher, they will be given time to rest, if the flight departure time allows, before receiving a second check. If the second check is 100.4 degrees or higher, a Frontier gate agent will explain to the customer that they will not be flying that day for the health and safety of others. Frontier will work with that customer to rebook travel on a later date or otherwise accommodate the traveler's preferences with respect to their reservation.
Additionally, all Frontier airport team members will be held to the same standard and not be allowed to work if their temperature is 100.4 degrees or higher at the start of their shift. Frontier will not maintain a record of the temperatures of passengers or team members.
Biffle noted that the company believes passengers should be screened as they are entering an airport and the Transportation Security Administration and airport authorities may be working to lay that groundwork. In the meantime, Frontier intends to conduct its own temperature screenings until such a plan is put in place.
The airline updated its boarding procedures in April to board passengers from the rear of the aircraft to the front and to encourage six feet of separation between passengers during the boarding process.
Additionally, in April, Frontier announced sweeping enhancements to improve the health and safety of every step of a customer's travel journey with the airline. Beginning with a health acknowledgement prior to completing check-in via the company's website or mobile app, passengers are required to confirm that:
Neither they nor anyone in their household has exhibited Covid-19 related symptoms in the last 14 days
They will check their temperature before heading to the airport and not travel if they have a fever
They will wash their hands/sanitize before boarding the flight
They understand and acknowledge the airline's face covering policy
Frontier also introduced a fogging disinfectant to its already stringent aircraft cleaning and sanitation protocols, which provides a safe, certified disinfecting solution proven to be effective against many viruses, including coronavirus. The fogging includes virtually every surface in the passenger cabin. Planes are wiped down every night with additional disinfectant, as well.
During flight, main cabin air is a mix of fresh air drawn from outside and air that has been passed through an air filtration system that features HEPA filters capable of capturing respiratory virus particles at more than 99.7% efficiency – similar to those used in hospital environments. Frontier's modern all-Airbus fleet is among the youngest in the world – all aircraft currently in operation are less than four years old.

Homemade wrapping paper isn't just adorable and affordable — it's also a great way to add a special touch to each one of the presents you give to friends and family.
With that in mind, I opted to make my own handmade gift wrap this year.
To get things rolling, I decided to see what the internet had to offer when it comes to inspiration. And while I could have settled for one kind of wrapping paper, there were so many attractive options available to an overly keen holiday lover like me that I ended up settling on four methods that each seemed simple and snazzy.
First, I wanted to try Fun Hug's faux jewel ornament idea.
But instead of making the Christmas cards shown, I would attempt to use this method to make wrapping paper. I loved the look of the bright and shiny 3-D decorations, and it seemed like it would be incredibly easy to do. That is, if I could track down the fake jewels.
After that, I thought I'd try some wrapping paper decorated using various holiday-themed stencils. Since I didn't have any stencils on hand, I was hoping I'd be able to buy some attractive ones but figured I could always consider printable options that I could cut out myself if necessary.
For my third kind of wrapping paper, I decided to go old school and follow a method my mom used with my sister and I when we were little: stamps. Did you ever use potato stamps when you were a kid? They're so easy and so much fun! They also allow you to get as creative as you want when it comes to stamping options.
Finally, I couldn't resist attempting some Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer wrapping paper that I spotted on Pinterest. Again, it looked incredibly easy to do, but also super sweet!
With my choices made, I ran out for a quick shopping trip to pick up the materials for each type of wrapping paper. I found everything I needed at my local dollar store, which happens to have an amazing arts and crafts section as well as a fully stocked seasonal aisle.
With everything I needed in hand, I was ready to make my own DIY wrapping paper.
For the faux jewel ornament wrapping paper, I started by simply wrapping the box in the plain kraft paper. I then decided on a placement for each of the fake jewels, and although mine happened to be sticky on the back, I added a little dab of glue to each one to make sure that they were nice and secure. I then used a black marker to draw dangling ornament strings and a bow on each jewel.
While this was an easy and quick way to create my own DIY wrapping paper, the result was adorable. The 3-D aspect of the design added a little extra pizzazz.
If you want to make it even snazzier, you could use a strip of real string instead of drawing it on and perhaps tiny bows of real ribbon.
Again, I started by wrapping the present in the paper first. However, if you want an all-over design with images that are randomly placed, you could definitely start by stenciling your designs on the paper first and then wrapping the gift afterward.
From there, I tested out applying the paint with various paintbrushes and sponges and found that a normal sponge worked best. I used ornament stencils and simply dabbed on some red paint for the larger ornament and green paint for the smaller ones.
I didn't want to overdo it with the stencils but still felt like the wrapping needed a little something extra. So I added some sparkly red and green ribbons to two of the corners to jazz it up.
I loved the way the stenciled images turned out and liked the added ribbon. And thanks to the fact that I have plenty of other stencils left over (including a reindeer, Santa in his sleigh, other ornaments, and a few snowflakes), I might attempt a few other designs this holiday season!
Just like the first two designs, I started this DIY paper by wrapping the box first. But as with the stenciled version, you can definitely stamp on your designs first and then wrap the box afterward if you're looking for an allover, randomly placed design.
I cut one of the potatoes in half and (carefully) carved out a Christmas tree design. You could also carve a star, a snowflake, a snowman, or mittens, or if you're really skilled, you could create a stamp in whatever shape your holiday-loving heart desires. And you can either wing it, draw on your design first, use a cookie cutter to help you out, or use printed shapes to guide you.
I then dried off my potato a little bit so the potato juice (?) didn't make the paint too watery. From there, I dipped the potato into the green paint and stamped on three trees, keeping them in a row at the bottom of the box. I also added four red snowflakes using one of the pre-inked stamps.
Despite drying off my potato, it turned out that the paint itself was on the watery side and didn't give me the crisp Christmas tree shapes that I was hoping for.
Thankfully, since this is DIY wrapping paper made by hand (and with love), I don't need to worry about it being absolutely perfect.
After wrapping up the box in the plain kraft paper, I glued a sparkly red pom-pom onto a spot that was slightly lower than the center of the box. Then, because I don't trust my drawing skills even when it comes to simple sketches, I used a pencil to draw on two circles for eyes and two antlers. When I had them right where I wanted them, I used the black marker to permanently draw them in.
This was another simple way to create your own DIY wrapping paper that ended up being beyond cute.
I was thrilled that I had found glittery pom-poms that made it look like Rudolph's nose was actually glowing. I was also glad that I had sketched out the eyes and antlers with a pencil before I used the marker so that I was sure I had everything right where I wanted it.
For my next go-around, I would definitely use paint that is both darker and thicker. The one I picked up wasn't the rich green that it appeared to be on the bottle. It was far too watery and resulted in slightly blurry images when it came to both the stamped and stenciled designs.
And although I loved the way the Rudolph wrapping paper turned out and will certainly make it again, I might try using googly eyes if the gift is going to someone who appreciates a silly touch. Otherwise, I think I'll stick with the sparkly pom-pom nose and drawn-on antlers, although I suppose you could replace the latter will little antler-like sticks if you'd prefer.
I'll also use the fake jewels again, although I might try using real string and a few cute ribbon bows.
Overall, I will absolutely do all four versions of this DIY wrapping paper again!
I was happy to place my gifts wrapped in homemade paper under my Christmas tree, and my family was pleasantly surprised when they saw what I had been up to.
My husband thought the faux jewel ornament paper was delightful, and my kids loved the Rudolph version. My little ones were also interested in how I had made the paper using stencils as well as the potato stamps, so we'll definitely be making more to wrap the rest of our presents before it's time to rip them all open on Christmas Day — although I have to admit, it will be hard to rip open the reindeer wrapping.

"Email::Valid::Loose is a subclass of Email::Valid, which allows . (dot)
before @ (at-mark). It is invalid in RFC822, but is commonly used in some of mobile
phone addresses in Japan (like docomo.ne.jp or jp-t.ne.jp)."

http://www.mail-archive.com/whatwg@lists.whatwg.org/msg17327.html

But the RFC forbids them.  If we're going to even allow things that
sort of work but which the RFC forbids, we may as well allow almost
anything, because who knows if it might work on some software?
> We need to see if these are actually deliverable.
I'd assume so.  In theory all of these should be deliverable.  The
ones without @ obviously aren't, but those all look to have been
confirmed back in 2006, so maybe there was a bug back then.  Addresses
with two or more consecutive dots have been confirmed as recently as
May 2009.
Actually, the trailing dot is meaningful. A domain without a trailing dot is a
relative domain; for example, if you are within the "example.com" domain, then "foo"
could resolve to "foo.example.com" (or if that doesn't exist, then it would try
resolving that at the root level, and fail since "foo" is not a TLD). A domain
with a trailing dot is an absolute domain; it will only ever be resolved at
the root level.
This difference may be significant. If someone manages to register the top level
domain "mail" (which may be possible if the proposed new gTLD rules are passed),
and has an email address of "f... at mail", then you might want to distinguish between
that resolving to "f... at mail.wikimedia.org " vs. "f... at mail."

Have you ever felt a lump or swelling behind your ear that you're certain wasn't there before? While a lump may be cause for alarm, often these are harmless. But what are they and how can you treat them?
What caused my ear lump and how can I treat it?
In some cases, a lump is caused by an abscess or a sebaceous cyst. An abscess is a walled-off infection in the tissue of a particular area of the body. It may respond to antibiotics, although on occasion a drainage procedure may be necessary. A sebaceous cyst is when epithelial components that produce keratin are trapped under the skin, forming a cyst that is filled with white, cheese-like material.
Frequently, infections involving the ear or sinuses can lead to an inflamed lymph node behind the ear. These can be viral, although most are due to a bacterial infection, especially ear infections in children. Most of these infections respond to antibiotics or treatment, but some may persist. If they are of less than two centimeters, though, they are of no concern.
Another cause is a lipoma – or lump of fatty tissue – although those are rare in this area of the body.
In less common cases, a lump behind or around the ear may be a tumor involved the parotid gland. Most of these are benign, although approximately 20 percent are malignant. These usually present either just below the ear or in front of the ear, though.
Feeling around your ear is a good way to help determine what the lump might be. For example, if it is soft, it is probably a lipoma or something benign. If it is hard, grows quickly, or is fixed, it is possibly something worrisome, CEENTA ENT doctor Timothy Kelly, MD, said.
If it is tender or painful, it is most likely an infection – either an inflamed lymph node or an abscess. Associated symptoms, such as fever or chills, may also raise the concern of an infection.
Of course, seeing a physician is best, especially if the lump persists or has worrisome characteristics. Usually, reassurance is all that is needed, however, an evaluation, especially early in the course, may allow treatment of a more serious condition when it is still curable.
This blog is for informational purposes only. For specific medical questions, please consult your physician. Dr. Kelly sees patients in our Fort Mill and Rock Hill offices. To make an appointment with him or any of CEENTA's ENT doctors, call 704-295-3000. You can also request an appointment online or through myCEENTAchart.

Diner Dash developer PlayFirst has announced its acquisition of the game portfolio and IP of mobile app developer Big Head Mode. This move will see multiple Big Head Mode employees joining PlayFirst in leadership positions.
Former CEO of Big Head Mode Tipatat Chennavasin will join PlayFirst as Director of Product Management, while Big Head Mode Co-founder Richard Au will become Senior Director of Engineering.
Big Head Mode is responsible for several mobile advancements in the world of game personalization. The company's games, including ZombieFace and PuppetFace, allow players to insert their own faces into apps, becoming celebrities, princesses, or even deadly creatures like zombies. In the case of PuppetFace, players' voices can also be recorded and added to the app.
The terms of the acquisition haven't been revealed, but it's expected that Big Head Mode's personalization features will make their way to PlayFirst's most popular franchises in the future.


Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump "regularly talk over the phone," the Russian president told a news outlet ahead of his visit to Vienna.
In remarks to Austrian TV channel ORF on Monday, Putin also said he "fully agreed" with Trump on the possibility of a new arms race between the two nations, but hoped they could head it off, CNN reported.
"Donald said he was worried about the possibility of a new arms race," Putin said of a recent call with Trump, CNN reported. "I fully agree with him – however, to prevent a possible arms [race], we should think about it, we should do something about it, give corresponding instructions to our Foreign Ministry and the U.S. State Department," he added.
He said there is no immediate plans for any formal sit-down between the two leaders.
"Indeed, Donald Trump and I have, firstly, met more than once at various international venues," Putin said, according to an official transcript available on the Kremlin's website, CNBC reported. "And secondly, we regularly talk over the phone."
"I think that the possibility of these meetings depends to a large extent on the internal political situation in the United States," he said, CNN reported. "The congressional election campaign is getting underway and then there will be the next presidential election, and the President of the United States is coming under attack over various matters. I think this is the main reason."
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush both met formally with the Russian President within six months of taking office, with Obama traveling to the Kremlin in July 2009 to meet then-President Dmitry Medvedev and Putin, who was prime minister at the time. CNN reported Trump and Putin have talked on the phone to each other eight times, and have met face-to-face twice.
According to CNN, the pace of Trump-Putin calls is roughly equivalent to the number of phone calls Obama held with Putin in his final two years in office. They spoke nine times in 2015 and 2016.
Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly said he and President Donald Trump "regularly talk over the phone," Putin told a news outlet ahead of his visit to Vienna.

Facedroid Updated To Version 2.0 – Gets Visual Overhaul, Groups, "Heaps" Of Bug Fixes
Facedroid, Platinum Apps' tablet-centric Facebook client, got a major update today, bringing the app up to version 2.0.

Endomondo Sports Tracker Updated To Version 8, Featuring New Ice Cream Sandwich-Flavored Redesign
2012/07/09 12:40pm PDT Jul 9, 2012
Endomondo, an extremely popular sports and exercise tracker got an update to version 8 today, bringing a handful of minor enhancements. Among these are improvements to routes, the option to like/dislike routes, and the addition and removal of favorite roots. More importantly though, version 8 brings a brand new UI, designed with Ice Cream Sandwich's legendary style guide in mind. Check out some screenshots:
What's great about Endomondo's new UI is not only that it enhances the UX greatly and makes the app as a whole "prettier," but that it brings the app's design more into line with the Ice Cream Sandwich style guide, without making the mistake of following the idea that holo is everything.
Draw Something's "Fresh New Look" Could Use Some Help, But A Few Tweaks Could Make All The Difference
With the introduction of Draw Something's "fresh new look!" update a couple of days ago came many design changes, not all of them entirely great. Just for fun, I decided to take a shot at making Draw Something's design slightly "fresher," or at least slightly more sensible. Just like my last design critique, I'll start by taking a look at what issues the current design has, and then make a few suggestions (with some quick mockups) as to what I think could be improved.
Firefox Beta 14 Goes Live On The Play Store, Brings Along A New UI, Flash Support
Eric Ravenscraft
The browser wars wage on in the mobile space just as it does on the desktop. Today, Mozilla fires another shot across Chrome's bow with Firefox 14 beta. The update, available in the Play Store, comes complete with a new UI, Flash support, and a bunch of other little improvements.
The new version comes with an updated minimum requirement of Android 2.2 or higher. The new UI shows its Froyo-y heritage, too.

O'Reilly Defends Celebrity Activists Against Guest Claiming They Are Helping Bin Laden
By Frances MartelJan 8th, 2011, 10:19 am
Bill O'Reilly is not exactly the biggest ally A-list do-gooders like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie can count on to support their work abroad. But while usually skeptical, O'Reilly found himself defending their cause in the Darfur region of Sudan as his guest, former CIA intelligence officer Michael Scheuer, accused them of helping Osama Bin Laden's cause.
At the root of the problem lay the identity of the people of Sudan, a country in which years of religious tension have torn the country apart, to the point where many celebrity activists are backing the creation of a new, Christian country in the south of Sudan, in addition to US intervention to stop the atrocities against Christians in the Darfur region of Sudan. For O'Reilly, it was difficult to see the problem with celebrity intervention if it was helping shed light on a major global issue for the better. But to Scheuer, creating a new Christian state out of Muslim land was precisely the kind of intervention that fueled Bin Laden's propaganda. Bin Laden, he argued, "has predicted that the United States will always step in and take land from the Islamic world, especially if that land has any potential for producing oil." Unfortunately, the southern half of Sudan hosts most of its oil reserves.
Still, O'Reilly saw the creation of a country "where [Darfur] refugees could go" as a positive thing, as it would diffuse tension by dividing the opposing factions. Scheuer saw this as instigation to push Darfur itself to be a nation, it being a western territory that would not be involved in the initial division, and used other examples of American intervention– notably the creation of East Timor and the power of Shia Muslims in Iraq– as examples of acts that have led to increased hostility from Al Qaeda.
"So, do we stand on the sidelines?" asked O'Reilly in response, suggesting that the alternative to shedding light on the problems in Sudan was keeping silent and, as such, becoming accomplices to the atrocities. Scheuer saw no problem with that. "We absolutely stand on the sidelines," he replied, taking a detour to point out abortion as a similar atrocity that celebrities "support." O'Reilly, eyebrow raised, replied dryly, "you're talking about abortion," and later noted that he saw the situation differently.
It may not be a first, but it is certainly rare to see Bill O'Reilly, longtime nemesis to more liberal celebrities like George Clooney, take up his side– more fodder for those that have begun to see O'Reilly, in his role as Fox News elder stateman, as the network's moderate voice of commentary.

What you need to know about the national minimum wage debate
Mohammed Jameel Abdulla
On Sunday, the National Minimum Wage Advisory Panel, which was put together by Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa recommended in its report that South Africa's national minimum wage be set at R3, 500 a month (or R800 per week, or R20 per hour). The panel said that this amount was an effort to help combat inequality and poverty in South Africa, while mitigating possible job losses.
But not all are happy with the recommendation – and some are unhappy for quite complex reasons – so let's start from the beginning and unpack the discussion.
What is a national minimum wage?
A national minimum wage is, as its name indicates, the minimum amount that workers must be paid, across all sectors nationwide.
At the moment, there is no national minimum wage in South Africa – wages are set differently according to the job and business sector a worker is in. Part of this is done through collective bargaining between worker organisations, such as trade unions, and employers. This is where union representatives negotiate with employers, on behalf of workers, to arrive at a set wage.
For vulnerable workers that aren't represented by unions, sectoral minimum wages can be set by the Minister of Labour, who is advised on the matter by the Employment Conditions Committee (ECC). Minimum wages set in this way apply to different jobs within sectors and are called "sectoral determinations".
So, for example, the monthly sectoral determination for farm workers is currently R2, 778.83, while for domestic workers in more rural areas it is R1, 993.82, and R3, 660.27 for urban cashiers in the wholesale/retail sector.
A minimum wage would set a "price floor" for all these sectoral determinations. The wages would thus be allowed to be higher, but never lower, than the national minimum wage. In the case above, the cashiers would not be affected – but domestic and farm workers would receive a significant pay increase.
Why is a national minimum wage important?
A national minimum wage is intended to combat poverty and inequality by providing a minimum threshold of pay to help protect the most vulnerable of workers – those who are not part of a union or whose sectoral determination is too low or does not exist.
Neil Coleman, strategies co-ordinator at the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) told the Daily Vox that, while the national minimum wage is no silver bullet to deal with the structural legacy of poverty and inequality, it could make a very significant contribution to combating these issues – while also complementing the existing systems of collective bargaining. Quoting from the National Minimum Wage Research Initiative (NMWRI), Coleman said it is estimated that about 54% of full-time workers in SA earn below R4, 123 per month – the amount needed for a household to extract itself out of poverty, according to the paper.
"Taking their dependants, which is on average three people, into account means over 20 million South Africans – nearly half the population – are in poverty because the wages are too low," said Coleman.
Gilad Isaacs, the Coordinator of the NMWRI at the University of the Witwatersrand explained that SA's sectoral determination system is quite lacking.
"The sectoral determination system we have now sets certain wages quite low and is also quite fragmented," he said. International trends show that a number of advantages come from having a national minimum wage. "It can be more easily enforced and it includes all the workers, whereas we currently have about a fifth of the work force that is not covered by any minimum wage. It also does not discriminate by setting lower level wages in sectors with higher numbers of vulnerable workers [who are mostly women and immigrants]," said Isaacs.
So the national minimum wage is an attempt to address some of South Africa's most fundamental problems – poverty, economic inequality and the lack of dignity afforded to the working class.
Having a national minimum wage sounds great, so what's the hold up?
Well, there are some legitimate concerns. The biggest one is that implementing a national minimum wage may have a significant impact on unemployment – another of South Africa's fundamental economic problems.
Jasson Urbach, economist and director of the Free Market Foundation, told the Daily Vox that although the people pushing for a national minimum wage likely had noble intentions, the reality of the matter was that an national minimum wage would greatly harm our economy and contribute to workers throughout SA losing their jobs – and is thus not something that served the interests of SA's poorest and most vulnerable.
"I don't think you can just expect to artificially raise the wages of workers and not expect there to be consequences. I think employers act rationally, so they'll increase mechanisation [replace labour with machines] as far as possible, increase the prices of their products or invest less in production in SA and rather invest overseas. And if they do invest less, it means that we won't be able to expand and we're not going to be able to address this massive unemployment problem that we have in South Africa," said Urbach.
In South Africa there are currently about 5,6 million people who are unemployed. If one considers workers that are discouraged and no longer seeking work, this number increases to 8,8 million people, which is about 36% of our population.
Coleman was very skeptical of the concerns expressed by Urbach.
"It's a tired old argument that they use, and it's got nothing to do with concern for the poor or the unemployed. It's a purely ideological position. If you look at the report of the panel, what they reflect is that credible studies internationally show that wherever a national minimum wage is implemented, the dire predictions – which the free-marketeers and other business economists have made on massive job losses – haven't materialised in any country," said Coleman.
A separate key study on the national minimum wage by UCT's Development Policy Research Unit (DPRU), published in May 2016, estimated that the implementation of a R3, 400 national minimum wage would result in job losses between 204, 977 and 897, 068 workers nationally.
The National Minimum Wage Advisory Panel's mission is to find the wage level that "is the best level for minimising the danger of job losses while at the same time maximising the potential to pull people out of poverty."
So is the proposed R3, 500 the sweet spot?
Given the varying views on the effect that an national minimum wage will have, this is obviously quite contested. Labour unions such as Cosatu have long been demanding upwards of R4, 000 as the bare minimum, but acknowledge the implementation of R3, 500 a first step to achieving this. The National Union of Metalworkers SA (Numsa) has criticised the the proposed figure for being too low – while the Economic Freedom Fighters outright rejected it.
Yet the great pessimism surrounding the prospects of job losses and a shrinking economy – including from Treasury – remains real. To this end, the panel suggested implementing the minimum wage over two years from 1 July 2017 – the date when it will be legislated. Over the two-year period, employers will be discouraged from, but not fined for, paying wages below the threshold. Further, given the vulnerability of farm, forestry and domestic workers – whose wages would increase most significantly – the report proposes that, in the first year, farm and forestry workers be paid 90% of the national minimum wage while domestic workers ought to receive 75%.
The general sense, however, is that there should be a degree of caution surrounding the amount at which the national minimum wage is set, and that it should be adjusted accordingly as the local effects on poverty, inequality, unemployment, and the economy in general, are observed.
But for now, the question of whether the starting point for this endeavour should be R3, 500 remains the point of departure for the constituencies of the National Economic Development Labour Advisory Council, or Nedlac. The panel's report has given these constituencies, comprising of government, business, labour and civil society groups, until December 2016 to decide and agree on whether they accept the R3, 500 national minimum wage or not.

There's no way R4000 is going to extract a single person out of poverty, nevermind a household. R4000 won't even make poor people independent of government aid – but then that's only to be expected, considering how said dependance is necessary for their continued rule. This is simply a very cynical attempt by government to placate an underclass that is growing ever more disenchanted with their neolib "dribble down" charade. That's why Marikana Cyril is telling South África to "debate" the issue – as if they were going to allow any of us any kind of influence. I see PR, PR all around.
But those on the other side of this argument are just as venal… pro-capitalist talking heads like Urbach seems to assume that Bill Gates will, for some reason or other, buy up all the surplus jars of Vaseline once normal people can't afford them anymore. These idiot market-cultists doesn't realize that if employers acted "rationally" in any way whatsoever, we wouldn't be in this terrible position at all. South África has some of the worst labour relations on the planet – that is a pretty damning indictment of the (allegedly) "rational" behaviour of our employer caste.
In other words, the working poor is still getting screwed. Some will just be getting a few more breadcrumbs after our political and corporate overlords is done feasting.

Mother-Daughter Duo Promote Awareness About Sanitation
Islamic Voice 0	July, 2016 12:00 am
Bangalore's Lamp of Love
The Silver Lining Under the Bridge
Papna Mua (Lucknow): Noor Jahan and her 11-year-old daughter Nargis have made hectic efforts to encourage fellow villagers to build toilets in their homes, in Papna Mua, a small village on the outskirts of Lucknow. So far, the mother-daughter duo have motivated more than 400 families of the village to do so. Living with her spouse and two children, Noor Jahan initially faced opposition from others when she went about telling them how important a toilet is in every household. "They had problems with me interfering in their personal lives, but my agenda was always clear-I wanted every house of this village to have a toilet," she says. Besides telling people the hazards of defecating in open and how it can hamper the safety of young girls, Noor also tells them about the government scheme to sanction money for building toilets for those who cannot afford one.
It all started with an Anganwadi workshop where women were apprised of the necessity of a toilet. Noor took a serious lesson from it. "On that day, in the evening, I started digging a pit in the backyard of my house with my hands and in few days I had the first toilet of the village right in my house," she says. She involved her class VI student daughter, Nargis in spreading awareness about it. "Nargis also tells her friends about basic sanitation practices like washing hands before eating and brushing teeth daily. Now, her teachers support her too," Noor says.


The exact location and layout of the Benedictine Priory of Tywardreath remains unknown. However, plenty of pieces of stonework have found their way around the village. These pieces can be found by the south porch of Tywardreath Church.

Being an athlete there is a question that I am frequently asked; Why do you wear the number seventeen?
Short and sweet. But, not many people really know the significance of why it is so special to me to first, wear this number and second, answer that question the way I do.
My biggest role model and teacher in volleyball and in life is my older sister, Elizabeth. She is a year and half older than me and began playing volleyball when she was about 8 years old. The youngest level of club ball in the area was a 12 and under team. So, as an 8 year old my sister was playing with girls 2-4 years older than her, and succeeding.
She would come home from practice and teach me everything she had learned. For HOURS we would hit the ball back and forth over the net in the back yard. Only taking a break to eat and sleep. I vividly remember us struggling to get 5 passes to each other in a row without messing up. When we finally got it we were overjoyed and celebrated like we won an Olympic event. This happened with peppering, serving, setting, etc. any and all volleyball skills. This continued through middle school. In our back yard there are two pine trees that cast two shadows over the lawn all day, so we would work on our ball control all day long and we were not allowed to step out of our individual shadow. I could go on and on about the different drills and goals we made for ourselves day in and day out. When it rained or was cold out we would bring the game into the living room. (This still happens. I should also note that to this day no lamps in the Horner house have been broken by volleyballs 🙂 ) By the time we were in high school and playing club ball we could read each other's minds on the court. I could give her a certain look with my eyes and she knew exactly what I was thinking, and vice versa. It would really mess with our teammates and coaches sometimes… oopies.
Fast forward to 2007 And Elizabeth and I are playing in the Northeast Qualifier tournament at the Pittsburgh Convention Center. There was a long rally and as she went after a ball Liz dove to her left and slammed the back of her head into the floor. The only thing between her head and the concrete floor of the convention center was a thin 1.5 inch piece of plastic, AKA sport court. She walked off the court dizzy and with some blurred vision. When we got home and she was able to get into the doctors they diagnosed her with a mild concussion. During her recovery she was not allowed to read, write, listen to music, watch movies… the list goes on. Basically, she couldn't middle school anymore. It took her several months to recover. There was no brain damage. Once fully recovered she was still normal and continued playing volleyball 24/7.
Fast forward again, a couple thousand miles traveled up and down the east coast and probably hundreds of grandma's chocolate mayonnaise cakes later and its spring 2013. Liz is competing in her sophomore spring season at UPenn and gets hit in the head, this time by a ball. We were visiting her that weekend because I was playing at a tournament in Philly. I remember her eyes looking weird, hazy and unable to focus. She went to place her cup on the table and completely missed by 3 inches but was able to recover and find the table before she let go of the glass. It was obvious that something was not right. She got some extensions on her classes that semester so she wouldn't be rushed to finish them. Her brain just wasn't functioning at its normal capacity. Getting an Ivy League education means your brain needs to be functioning at %100, %100 of the time. After that semester she came home and worked all summer, she didn't give her body enough time to rest and regroup before the hectic fall schedule that volleyball demands. The fall rolled around and preseason started off just like the spring. Hit, shank, Liz's head. UGH. How many times does this have to happen? Like seriously? Her trainers took good care of her and got her ready to get back into practice a few days later. When, BAM! trainers elbow collides with Liz's head. Lights out.
Well, not really lights out. She didn't black out or anything like that but all the symptoms came back with a vengeance. Elizabeth dropped out of all classes and responsibilities at UPenn and moved back home.
During this time I had just started by freshman year at Mississippi State. So, I did not take this hit (lol, punny) as hard as my family.
Okay, maybe you thought my sense of humor there was inappropriate but I'm going to start laying down some heavy things Elizabeth endured and my family has gone through with her. The Horner's are jokesters and we love a good laugh. If we don't try and find humor in the small things to lighten the mood during this process the pain has the potential to literally swallow us alive.
Now, Elizabeth was the most composed person I've known in my life. Being her sister and best friend growing up I could tell when she was pissed off and I needed to keep my distance or so overjoyed about something that I could celebrate with her. I rarely saw her cry. It's almost like she didn't know how.
I think we all have someone like this in our lives.
Think of that kind of person you know.
Okay, now imagine them crying when asked if they want green beans at the dinner table. Or being so flustered about choosing tea or coffee that they sit there forever not making a decision because they don't know which is right and don't want to choose wrong. GUYS, THIS GIRL WAS AT AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL TAKING ARCHITECTURE CLASSES 12 MONTHS AGO. And, now, no reading or writing, no looking at screens or listening to music, not able to be in loud or bright environments. Wearing sunglasses in the house. She slept for 23 hours a day. The hour she was awake all she could do was sit and stare at the wall in front of her. Head throbbing, thoughtless. If there ever was a thought floating around in there it was dark and painful. Gradually she was able to find herself do more around the house. Like walk from her room to the kitchen without getting exhausted. There are many more stories like this, I could write/talk about this for hours, but I'll spare you the details.
Forgetfulness. Pain. Bi-polar behavior. Fear. Uncontrollable emotions.
These are feelings felt by not only Elizabeth, but my mom and sisters as they took care of her. Again, I wasn't present most of this time and a lot of what I'm writing are taken from conversations I've had with my family who took the brunt of helping Elizabeth cope.
The brain trauma she experienced was very intense. I'm struggling to find the words to describe the exact intenseness of the last three years.
With this final blow to the head came the loss of many things for Liz, one of them being volleyball. Elizabeth cannot really ever play competitive volleyball again. We had dreams and aspirations to do big things together on the volleyball court. Through this whole process she has been more optimistic about her opportunity to play again than I have. When she brings it up I try and change the subject or just 'play along' with the idea. But, knowing her on a deeper level than most, I know she will never give up on those dreams.
This leads me to that little seemingly insignificant question I mentioned at the beginning; Why do you wear the number seventeen?
When I transferred to Iowa State during the spring of my freshman year my number (10) was already taken. The first option I was given was #17 and I immediately knew I had to take it.
Elizabeth wore the #17 since the first day she played volleyball. As far as I know she really didn't have any reason as to why she chose that number. I like to think she chose it without any reason so I could choose it with a reason 12 years down the road.
Today, I wear the number seventeen to keep her dreams alive. When I put that jersey on there is no doubt who I am playing for, I'm playing for Liz. It's a reminder that life is precious. That the opportunity to play sports in a privilege. There are so many people who wish they could be playing D1 volleyball and there are many days I take it for granted. I hate seeing Elizabeth in so much pain. It hurts my heart that there is nothing I can do to heal her and make her %100 again. Oh, what I would do to play one, just one, more point of competitive volleyball with her again!! It could happen. But, in the meantime, in the midst of uncertainty, what can I do? I feel helpless. I've learned that there is one thing. I can play every point like it's my last. I can show up to practice every day with a smile on my face because I am blessed with the opportunity to get better. I can rejoice and take full advantage of the obstacles placed in front of me because I have the physical or mental capability to do so.
This is something we can all do, and it does not stop or really start with your sport. This is a mentality you can (and should, I mean NEED) to take into every aspect of your life. Guys, school gets hard, I know that. But, you know what? School being hard is a lot nicer problem than trying to figure out where your next meal is coming from. When the water in your shower is cold be glad you actually have water to take a shower. When you have the opportunity to play your sport acknowledge what a blessing that is. Sports are games, jeez, it's not that serious! Go out and have FUN! Be happy you have the ability to do so and give it all you got! Don't take these things for granted, because you don't know when they could be taken from you.
Suz, you are an inspiration to everyone you meet. This is seriously beautiful.
Amazing, incredible. Love you and Elizabeth so very much!
This is a beautiful tribute to your sister and your compassionate competitive spirit shows through. Thank you for sharing this!
Love this! You are awesome!! What a blessing you are to my life!
Suz, I'm so glad that God led you to write and to share more of who you are, who you love, where you've come from and what you've learned. You can tell your sister that her number of fans is increasing dramatically with this blog.

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most, if not the most important models for the brand. One might say that the Datejust is the essence of a Rolex: simple, reliable, rock-solid, very well made and with a classic and truly timeless design.
After all, out of all its models, the Datejust is the most sold model.
And in that collection, there are different Datejust variations. One of which is the Datejust 41.
The Datejust 41 is the ultimate all-around timepiece, combining sportiness with elegance, probably making it one of the best Rolex watches for everyday use.
The Rolex Datejust 41 126334 Wimbledon is one of the watches in the Datejust collection that truly stand out. The Datejust 41 126334 is elegant as it is with its slimmed case, white gold fluted bezel, and Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. But the specific "Wimbledon" dial is something else.
In this article, we're focusing on the Rolex Datejust 41 126334 Wimbledon, but before we do that, let's briefly go over the history of the model.
The Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945. The Datejust at the time was a milestone in watchmaking innovation, combining a date function with a self-winding movement that is also a chronometer and waterproof.
The first Rolex Datejust was introduced for the 40th anniversary of Rolex, and the first Datejust was the reference 4467.
The innovation of a date window at 3 o'clock has had a significant impact on the watch market, and now you can see countless of other brands having taken notice as it nowadays has become the norm.
The original Datejust had a coin-style bezel different from the fluted bezel today. And at the beginning, the Datejust was only available in yellow gold. Then in the following years, Rolex also released the Datejust in rose gold, steel, or two-tone.
And despite the fact that the Datejust was released more than 70 years ago, the watch is still quite similar to the modern versions. Sure, they may have been improved for better reliability, better quality, and to meet the size ideals of today, but at its core, they are very similar. This just goes to show just how timeless the Datejust design really is.
The characteristic cyclops over the date window was actually not released until 194, which is nine years after its launch. Over the years, Rolex has released countless of dial variations for the Datejust, and slightly different models and references.
But despite this, the Datejust has always been a three-handed watch with a date window at 3 o'clock. It is safe to say that it has remained faithful to the original. Because Rolex simply does not change a winning concept. Only refine it.
Now that we have a little background to the Datejust, let's focus on the model we are here for.
To begin with, the name "Wimbledon" simply refers to a type of Datejust dial.
This dial has become immensely popular over the years, mainly because it's a lovely dial, but also because of the history behind it, which we will go more into detail of further on.
Since "the Wimbledon" is just a dial, you can find it in a few different Datejust versions. All of them, however, are in the Datejust 41 range. But it is only the variant made in steel and with a white gold bezel that has the reference 126334. The Datejust 126334 is a 41mm Datejust which features a fluted bezel made in white gold. Then there is a second reference, the 126300. The only difference is that this reference has a smooth bezel in steel instead of white gold. Then, of course, you also have gold and steel variants whose reference numbers either end with the digit 1 or 3 (yellow or Everose Rolesor).
Since all Datejust models can feature either an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, this can also vary with the Wimbledon.
Now, let's look closer at the Rolex Datejust 41 reference 126334.
The Rolex Datejust 41 reference 126334 is the updated version of the previous reference 116334. For the new reference, the movement is slimmer, as well as the lugs. This has given it a more slender shape which enhances the comfort of wearing it.
As the model name suggests, the watch has a diameter of 41mm, but because the watch does not feature bulky lugs like other Rolex sports watches, and is instead very slimmed, it wears relatively small.
The 126334 features the calibre 3235, offering improvements in terms of precision, resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, upgraded power reserve, now offering 70 hours.
The movement features the Chronergy escapement and the balance wheel is fitted with the Parachrom hairspring, a paramagnetic alloy exclusive to Rolex. It is regulated within tolerances of −2/+2 seconds per day or more than twice that required of an official chronometer.
When the Datejust 41 was introduced, it replaced the predecessor Datejust II, and the big news when this happened was that that the Jubilee bracelet was reintroduced. Previously, the Datejust II was only available with an Oyster bracelet.
Because of the comfort that the Jubilee bracelet offers, and the pure class that it radiates, the Datejust 126334 with Jubilee bracelet and Wimbledon dial is actually the most popular Datejust model in production in writing moment.
When it comes to the bracelet, Both the Jubilee and the Oyster bracelet feature the folding Oysterclasp with Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link.
You will be surprised at how versatile the 126334 really is. While it was originally made as a classy dress watch for the gentleman, the modern Datejust has become so much more versatile. And in our opinion, 126334 is one of the best Rolex watches to wear every single day. Because no matter on which occasion, the watch simply works. From a dress watch, point of view, you have a classy, elegant, and slim-profile watch that is discreet yet beautiful. This allows the watch to slip under a cuff without any problems. From a sports point of view, you have a strong steel case with a 100m water resistance and luminous hands. Then of course, you also have the 41mm case with is larger and sportier than the traditional 36mm case. This should really be the best of both worlds.
Furthermore, the dial colors of the 41 make it easy to match with a suit.
As you know, Rolex never really release any limited editions, and rarely releases special editions. But what they do, however, is make something new, and then market that particular watch in association with something, continuing to push the association of two things.
Take for example the DeepSea Sea-Dweller James Cameron. Nowhere does it say that the watch's name is James Cameron or that it is a James Cameron special edition. Instead, collectors and watch enthusiasts have embraced the name and given it a nickname.
The same goes for the Datejust Wimbledon!
If you look at Rolex's website, you won't see the name "Rolex Datejust Wimbledon". Instead, it is collectors who have given the dial type that name. Now, when you look at the dial, you can assume that the green-color details on the dial are intentional in order to make it slightly tennis-inspired as a reference to the green fields of Wimbledon.
The Wimbledon Datejust 41 126334 features a slate dial, white‑gold fluted bezel, and black Roman numerals edged in luminous green. This nod to Wimbledon is also relevant for Rolex as well since it is the brand's signature color. At its core, the dial is a rhodium dial, and you can see many similarities between this and the full rhodium dial.
"The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterized by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection."
It's safe to say that the green details of the watch truly makes it stand out, and gives it a fun and unique twist. A regular single-colorer dial Datejust is nice, but it can become boring after a while. And if you grow tired of your watches after a while, the Datejust 41 Wimbledon is a perfect choice.
The Rolex 126334 is actually not the first reference to have the Wimbledon dial. In fact, the prior Datejust II was the first reference to have the Wimbledon dial.

Juvare Pledges Cash Donation to the Our Time Has Come Scholarship Fund at Syracuse University
Syracuse, NY, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A company led by Syracuse University alumnus that specializes in emergency preparedness and response technology is now helping diverse young men and women realize their dream of a college education.
This comes in the form of a cash donation to the Our Time Has Come (OTHC) scholarship fund by Juvare, which makes software that helps corporations, hospitals, government agencies and municipalities with emergency management and response. The gift is latest in support of Forever Orange: The Campaign for Syracuse University's $1.5 billion goal, and will support the creation of Our Time Has Come Scholarship. Launched in 1987, the Our Time Has Come Scholarship is the largest scholarship fund benefitting Black and Latino students at Syracuse University.
For Juvare, it's another example of how the company is giving back, especially during challenging times, with recognition that a college education and workplace experience is vital for success. Case in point: Juvare continues to offer internships to students, realizing the importance of the workplace experience.
To date, over 1,500 OTHC scholarships have been awarded, creating opportunities for many young men and women. Among them, Juvare SVP of Software Engineering Reggie Acloque, an OTHC scholar from the Class of '99.
"At Juvare, we understand the power of a scholarship, especially one that helps drive inclusion, diversity, equity and access," said Acloque. "Personally, for me, the Our Time Has Come scholarship afforded me the opportunity to both finance and finish my education at SU. We view this scholarship as a way that we can pay it forward by contributing to a student's academic & leadership development, helping them excel in their field of study, and providing a richer and fulfilling student experience, without the additional stress of financial burdens."
"We value diversity at Juvare and are constantly striving to be better," remarked Juvare President and CEO Bob Watson '79. "We realize the importance of a Syracuse University education and take pride in being able to make this dream a reality for underserved students through the Our Time Has Come scholarship."
"Juvare's generous gift to the Our Time Has Come scholarship fund will benefit many talented and deserving students for many years to come," said Rachel Vassel, assistant vice president in the Office of Multicultural Advancement. "It's rewarding and enriching that great alumni like Bob and Reggie are literally giving back, and I'm especially pleased that this comes from a former OTHC scholarship recipient."
For the academic year 2020-2021, almost 90 students were awarded OTHC scholarships. "When companies like Juvare work together with us to equip students of color to be successful, there is no stopping them," said Angela Morales-Patterson, Director of Operations and Partnerships in the Office of Multicultural Advancement, who leads corporate relations for the program. "Corporate partnerships like this one will change the world for the better."

So while some may find Apple's trick old hat now, no one else has figured out how to pull it off — except for the company doing a mediocre copy of the trick. I'd argue it's because everyone is focusing on The Pledge and The Prestige, but Apple is the only one focusing on The Turn.
Also, I've been meaning to see that movie.


Hashtag just being honest. Hashtag I hate the 21st century. Hashtag the sooner the whole Hashtag thing is over the better. Hashtag bite me, Honda.
Know which one I hate the most? The one with the guy who's getting his first apartment so now it's time for him to get a "hashtag big-boy car." Just another example of the infantilization of adulthood. "Big-boy/big-girl bed" has become the term parents use with toddlers when they finally graduate from the crib to a bed without bars on all sides. Now, apparently, when young adults are old enough to stop living in Mom's basement, they graduate from driving whatever beater they were able to afford with their high-school-job money at age 16 to buying a "big-boy car." How adorable...Hashtag "Get me a bucket."

Hugh Fitzgerald: In Egypt, the Crazy Criticize the Sane
By Hugh Fitzgerald - on January 9, 2019
During a show on the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood's Elsharq TV (based in Turkey), Egyptian journalist Emad Albeheery went on a rampage, and a rant, against three people.
First, he was enraged that a prominent journalist, Khaled Salah, the editor-in-chief of al-Youm al-Sabaa — a news outlet with close ties to Egypt's security services — had tweeted praise for Hanukkah, calling it a victory for monotheism against "paganism" and advising his audience to read about the Jewish festival's central historical figure, Judah Maccabee. This coincided with the first public Hanukkah celebration in decades, at the Shaar Hashamayim synagogue in Cairo, attended by members of Egypt's tiny Jewish community alongside an American delegation. Albeheery did not mention the Hanukkah celebration — he must not have known about it, for if he had, all hell would certainly have broken loose on Elsharq TV — but he denounced Khaled Salah's suggestion that there could be anything good about Hanukkah. What Salah was praising about the holiday was nothing uniquely Jewish, but rather, the celebration of the very concept of "monotheism," which is shared by Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Albeheery was not impressed; he was having none of it.
A second target for Albeheery's anger was the poet and translator Fatima Naoot, who on December 10 had written an op-ed in Al Masry Al Youm, after attending that official Hanukkah party in Cairo, about how much Jews had contributed to Egyptian culture, how loyal they had been to Egypt (remaining in the country years after Israel had been created), and how much of a shame it was that they were forcibly expelled from Egypt by Nasser.
There was a furious reaction to her article. Some called her a Zionist, though she has not come out in support of the Jewish state; she still believes there are dispossessed "Palestinians." But she openly recognizes that the Jews of Egypt had greatly enriched the country's culture, and she was merely lamenting their departure from the country to which, she insisted, they had always been true. A convinced secularist, she clearly is impressed with Jews, and in her article she describes their support of Egyptian culture, its art, its music, its literature. Albeheery was sent into a fury by her praise of Egyptian Jews, who in his stark view could only be Zionists, and therefore necessarily fifth columnists, disloyal to Egypt. He was not moved by their expulsion, nor by the fact that for many Egyptian Jews, Israel was the only place, in the 1950s, that would take them in.
The third, and most important, target for Albeheery's anger was Abdelfattah El-Sisi himself, who had done something so terrible that Albeheery could hardly contain himself. What was the unpardonable sin El-Sisi committed? He allotted 72 million dollars to the restoration of Jewish buildings in Egypt. This did not reflect philosemitism, as Albeheery seems to think, but the calculations of realpoliitik.
First, Egyptian policymakers see American Jews and organizations as having great clout in Washington, and by spending money to repair Jewish historical sites, they would be winning favor with them. El-Sisi and his men hope thereby to gain entree to the corridors of power in Washington for themselves.
Second, by restoring Jewish heritage sites, the Egyptian government hopes to better market Egypt to Jewish tourists worldwide. Jews are well represented in global tourism and in the travel business itself. Egypt's expenditures on Jewish sites might not only encourage Jewish tourism, but make Egypt more visible and desirable as a destination for Jews working in travel and tourism throughout the Western world, to recommend.
Third, by supporting his decision to allot such a large sum ($72 million) to repairs of Jewish sites, El-Sisi's advisers are likely hoping to burnish his image as a tolerant leader who deserves Western support even if he has to come down hard on the Muslim Brotherhood.
Albeheery could not allow himself to entertain such rational calculations. He could only imagine one thing: in order to do what he did, El-Sisi must have had a Jewish mother, which would mean that he himself was Jewish. For why else would any Egyptian care about Jewish sites in Egypt? Emad Albeheery claims to believe that El-Sisi's Jewish mother raised him as a Muslim, while all the while he secretly remained a Jew, and managed to get him into the military academy, and then into the Egyptian army, where he rose through the ranks, and eventually, still a secret Jew, he "pulled a coup and took over Egypt."
Emad Albeheery is a hysteric, but he is hardly alone. His hysteria is shared by many Egyptians, who, whenever anything connected to Jews or to Israel comes up, lose their faculty of reason. They cannot imagine why a Muslim would praise anything connected to Jews (Khaled Salah on Hanukkah), or say something positive about Jews themselves (Fatima Naoot on Egyptian Jews), or want to preserve and restore Jewish sites in Egypt (El-Sisi).
Let the last word on El-Sisi, the Secret Jew, be given not to Emad Albeheery, but to his television host Ahmed Atwan, who turns out to be just as crazy as he is:
"Guys, all his actions are Jewish! Everything he does is for the Zionists!"
And that, in two sentences, is the state of Muslim political discourse today.
