The 5-0 blanking of HK Gomel means third place and bronze medals for the team from southern Poland. Polish national team player Mikolaj Lopuski scored a hat trick very much to the joy of hundreds of GSK Katowice fans on the tribune.
HK Gomel suffered a hard time in this final tournament. Usually among the top teams in Belarus, the team has had a mediocre season in the Belarusian Extraliga so far and couldn't keep up with the other teams here in Belfast. They will have to travel home with zero points and a 2-18 goal record in three games.
Katowice outshot Gomel 44-17 throughout the game and opened the scoring after just 17 seconds with a goal from Lopuski. The long-time national team player with the experience of ten senior World Championship tournaments continued at 13:19. Gomel took three minor penalties in a row and after passes from his Finnish teammates Jesse Rothla and Jesse Jyrkkio, Lopuski netted the puck.
He completed his hat trick early in the second period. 29 seconds into the frame he converted a pass from the end boards to make it 3-0. Marek Strzyzowski scored Katowice's fourth marker just 84 seconds later.
The goal galore stopped afterwards although Katowice remained dominant. Jyrkkio set up the final score of 5-0 with his goal 105 seconds before the final buzzer.
With the win GKS Katowice ties the third-place finish Polish rival GKS Tychy achieved in 2016.
The 2019 IIHF Continental Cup Final ends with a winner-takes-it-all game between Kazakh champion Arlan Kokshetau and host Belfast Giants tonight.


The majority of the petrol line-up uses a three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, with power outputs of 100, 125 or 140hp to choose from. The entry-level 100hp version provides adequate power to shift the Fiesta along, but won't set your pulse racing. In reality it's not that much slower than the 125hp or 140hp engines, but lacks a little of their mid-range punch.
The 125hp EcoBoost is a great middle ground, offering more sprightly performance without the associated costs. The real advantage however is the way it pulls from low revs, so you don't need to shift down gears so often. We think the 140hp engine is the best of the bunch, and as well it should be given it's the second most expensive.
It's extremely responsive and much smoother than we remember Ford's three-cylinder engines of yore to be. We came away impressed with the flexibility of this engine too – its power band is wide enough that you don't have to change gears too often.
If you want an automatic gearbox there's currently only one choice – perhaps reflecting the fact Ford reckons only 8% of Fiestas will be so equipped – the 1.0-litre, 100hp EcoBoost, with a six-speed torque converter 'box, as opposed to a more modern dual-clutch transmission.
Don't worry too much about the difference – the upshot is that it takes a little while longer to change gears than you might be used to, even if you make use of the diminutive steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. For the most part though, it's a reasonably smooth gearbox and only becomes little jerky if you want to accelerate very quickly. Although quick off the line, this drivetrain takes nearly two seconds longer to get from 0-62mph than the manual, so it's probably best to pick that if you prioritise performance over convenience.
The higher-powered diesel is an altogether very impressive unit that won't leave drivers feeling short-changed, but it is expensive relative to all other motors. It's not quite as smooth or responsive as the 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol, but it is compared to many diesels, and during our test it registered around 10mpg better during mixed driving. That'll be enough to swing it for many.
The previous Fiesta ST was widely regarded as one of the best hot hatches you could buy, and 2018's version looks set to continue that trend. The recipe is very similar, albeit with a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine under the bonnet in place of the 1.6-litre four-cylinder of before.
Here's an interesting fact about the Fiesta's handling: Ford's engineers have dialled back the resistance of the steering by around 20%. This is the polar opposite of what many firms are doing these days – adding extra weight that they assume translates to 'feedback' about what the front wheels are experiencing under the car.
So on the face of it you'd think Ford's approach might make for steering less impressive than before, but you'd be wrong. It does feel lighter for sure, but instead there's a wonderfully immediate and predictable response on initial turn-in. This is something Ford is a master at, and it shows. You can flick the Fiesta across bending B-roads with huge amounts of confidence because you can tell exactly what it's going to do.
In fact, the whole chassis is a masterpiece. The amount of grip is higher than ever, but it's the way it instantaneously corners brilliantly and soaks up lumps and bumps in the road that really stand out. In fairness the seventh-generation Fiesta was particularly good at this too, but jumping out of rival cars it's very noticeable indeed. The Fiesta's turning circle isn't the largest in the sector but we're pleased to confirm a three-point turn is possible without too much in the way of driver arm-flailing.
Parking is easy, and easier still if you've got the acoustic sensors or automatic parking system in higher-spec trims.
Ford's technicians have done lots of work on the brakes, too, with a sharper initial bite and far shorter stopping distances. This doesn't translate to a 'grabby' pedal feel, though – like the rest of the car's handling it feels very well resolved.
How does the Ford Fiesta ST-Line handle?
Even better than the rest of the range we've tried so far. This is because Ford has significantly re-engineered the Fiesta's chassis for this model, with even more responsive steering and a 10mm ride height drop to keep bodyroll in check. While it's fair to assume ride comfort should suffer as a result, we found the difference – during back-to-back evaluation – to be minimal at worst. To really appreciate the Ford Fiesta, you'll want to take one of these for a test drive.
It's fair to say the interior of the Fiesta has been given a significant uplift in quality and style. There are soft-touch plastics around many of the visible areas, but there are still a few places – especially on the doors and lower down near the footwells – that have what feels like cheaper materials instead. This is where you can tell that this is a car built to a cost. In the versions we've driven so far, the Ford Fiesta's cabin is dominated by the huge infotainment touchscreen you get on higher-spec cars. Finished with a gloss black surround, it's in keeping with the rest of the cabin's finishing, and actually helps draw your eye away from some obviously cheaper materials found as you begin poking around the interior.
The Sync3 infotainment system works well, though – the screen is ultra-responsive and the menus very intuitive, backed up by a processing power to enable quick pinch-and-swipe actions on the sat-nav mapping. Ford hasn't lagged behind when it comes to in-car entertainment, and this system feels right up-to-date.
While the covers take various forms depending on the trim level, the seats themselves are the same on all Fiestas apart from the ST model, and we found the front seats especially extremely comfortable and supportive.
To take aim at the likes of the DS 3 and Audi A1, the Fiesta line-up now includes a Vignale. This means you can expect quilted leather upholstery for the seats (but false leather on the dash) and a very high level of standard equipment.
This is another area the Fiesta has seen dramatic improvement compared with its predecessor. We were particularly impressed with the lack of wind noise at motorways speeds during our test drive. Once again we have to warn against ordering the panoramic glass roof here – it makes for a far more blustery experience even with the glass shut. That'll be a problem for Vignale customers who get this as standard.
Engine and road noise is well-contained, and the excellent suspension not only does a great job of soaking up bumps, but settles back down so quickly that it's always ready for the next one. Ford's engineers spend a huge amount of time on this, and it's paid off.
The ST-Line version has sportier-looking seats but they're identical to the rest of the range underneath the snazzy covers, and the fractionally lower ride height doesn't appear on first inspection to have a noticeable effect on the ride quality, which in the main is among the very best in the sector on all models we've tried. We're confident the 17-inch wheels on the cars we've driven will work well on our poor UK road surfaces, but smaller 16-inchers are on hand if the ride is a little choppy.

Q: How to initialize chrono time_point I am trying to initialize two time_point objects, but when I try to initialize it, it says the time_point is a null pointer, which it is but I'm trying to populate it.
So, I have these two time_points:
std::chrono::time_point<steady_clock> clock_start;
std::chrono::time_point<steady_clock> clock_end;

And I this is my init function:
void TimeCounter::initTimeCounter(const seconds sec)
{
    clock_start = steady_clock::now();
    clock_end = steady_clock::now() + sec;
}

I also tried to init with my constructor bellow, to see if it would set the values on time point, but it still says that clock_start is a null ptr.
TimeCounter::TimeCounter()
{
    clock_start = steady_clock::now();
    clock_end = steady_clock::now();
}

Liberal Crime Squad •
Have you played... Liberal Crime Squad?
Sin Vega
14th January 2020 / 7:30AM
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.
We rescued Rachel Walker from a sweatshop and recruited her to the cause. Safe in our hideout, she revealed a talent for using computers, carrying out simple scripting operations to defraud unwary internet users. After a few months of cracking corporate accounts, she uncovered a huge corruption scandal that rocked the judicial system, scoring our first major PR victory.
Her deft fingers also helped the Liberal Crime Squad break into multiple factories and offices. She smashed up machines, she took part in unlawful protests against the government. She killed eight people.
Rachel Walker is eleven years old.
Liberal Crime Squad was my gateway into Dwarf Fortress. As it came from the same creators, that's not so strange, and they have a few common threads. LCS is more openly satirical, as your revolutionaries fight a right-wing US government by proselytising, blackmailing, and occasionally kidnapping and torturing citizens of one of its cities. Your goal is to change national attitudes towards dozens of issues, from the death penalty to, uh, AM radio. You do this by sending people out to buildings in the city, stealing and vandalising and killing, but often just talking people into joining you, or kidnapping and brainwashing influential people. Less fighty people raise funds and peacefully spread the word by busking, publishing pamphlets, making and selling shirts, and uh, doing sex work. It's bloody good fun, and when you cross the wrong people or simply up the ante, the horror of its violence is much more affecting than a few sentences of text ought to be.
I quite like the optional fascist state start, ostensibly harder as anything remotely subversive carries an automatic death penalty, but simpler since if you're gonna get shot for singing a protest song, you might as well take the gloves off and murder your way to a better world.
Its interpretation of what is "liberal" (and even the false binary of liberal vs conservative) is already rather quaint in an era when people are finally starting to acknowledge that society is divided along more axes than that. But I like that your actions can lead to the public being extremely critical of the police, but also opposed to promoting racial equality, or deploring animal research while being fine with state torture of humans. Maybe it's not so outmoded after all.
It's free too, and much more approachable than the toady one's meeny miney men manager.

More than 100 workers at San Francisco International Airport's parking facility say they're ready to walk off the job.
The Teamsters union workers voted unanimously to approve a strike after rejecting a final offer from the parking garage operator. The workers include auditors, cashiers and office personnel at the parking facility.
The union says the biggest issue is the rising cost of workers' health care benefits and a cut in their health care coverage.
Workers have not yet set a date for a strike and say they hope negotiations will continue this week.
The airpot has not commented on the strike vote.


Utility and government officials say the region has to face the idea that its demand for electricity could overtake the supply. In a little more than three years, they say, lights could flicker off in rolling blackouts.
To avert such shortages, electric companies have proposed a transmission line through the Loudoun countryside, a third nuclear reactor in Calvert County and other controversial projects. Even if the projects are built, they won't come online for years.

Q: Why doesn't my asp file HttpHandler get called? I've created a handler to capture requests for classic asp files:
<system.webServer>
   <handlers>
       <add name="LegacyAspHandler" verb="*" path="*.asp"
   type="MyNamespace.LegacyAspHandler, MyAssembly" preCondition="managedHandler"/>
   </handlers>
<system.webServer>

The handler is never called.  If I request an asp file that exists, IIS serves the page, and if it doesn't exist, serves a 404.  So I think something in IIS must be handling classic asp files before HttpHandlers get invoked, but I can't figure out what it is.
The handler code is just boilerplate:
Imports System.Web
Public Class GameModuleHandler
    Implements IHttpHandler

    ''' <summary>
    '''  You will need to configure this handler in the Web.config file of your
    '''  web and register it with IIS before being able to use it. For more information
    '''  see the following link: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=8101007

            ' Usually this would be false in case you have some state information preserved per request.
            Return True

"He has deft control over his material, which can be intricate, with an exuberant globetrotting aesthetic, but rarely feels cluttered. His Escapism EP contains middle-eastern strings, pitch-shifted dancehall vocals, snake-charmer woodwind, harps and EDM drops. You'd expect these to clash horribly on a 17-minute EP, but somehow they make complete sense."
"Jungle Waters comes out of the beat and back around to its twisting and turning orchestral beginning, then melts again into a multi-colored fantasy world of electric textures and playful sounds."
"Escapism III' evokes the 20-year-old producer's cinematic scope for genre-defying productions that burst with colour as he tells his coming-of-age story."

Q: Merge command from Git removes files Git repository structure

I have used the following commands in Git Bash:

*

*git checkout develop_2

*git merge develop_1
Git was marked some files [deleted by us] and completed merge with conflicts.
What should I do to add new files from develop_1 to develop_2?

A: You have to add the new files in develop_1 and commit those changes.
git add path/to/file
git commit -m "commit msg"
Now, to bring those changes in develop_2 branch, checkout to develop_2 branch and merge develop_1 branch onto develop_2 branch.
git checkout develop_2
git merge develop_1
If any conflicts arise, resolve those conflicts.
When you have resolved the conflicts, don't forget to add the files for which the conflicts came.
git add path/to/file
After doing this for all the conflict files, commit those conflict files again using:
git commit -m "merge conflicts resolved"
Those new files should be visible to you.

Q: Problem with the use of facet_nested for line plot I am trying to plot a line graph with facet nested (I often do that with bar plots). For some strange reason, one part of the plot is missing. I have worked around the code trying to add "group" to the aesthetics but it doesn't seem to work. Below is the graph I am ending up with

A: You are excluding all of your post-test results because these all have x axis values of 9 or more. Remove the scale_x_continuous and add scales = "free_x" to facet_nested
ggplot(data10, aes(x = trial2, y = Eye_Rx),group = test) +
  geom_line(aes(color = Variables), lwd = 1.2, show.legend = FALSE) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = Eye_Rx - 1.96 * se, ymax = Eye_Rx + 1.96 * se,
                 fill = Variables), alpha = 0.6) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("gray", "black"), name = NULL) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("black", "gray")) +
  xlab("Trial") +
  ylab("Hand and Eye Reaction time (s)") +
  facet_nested(Condition ~ Group + test, scales = "free_x") +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 12,face="bold", angle = 90),
       axis.text.y = element_text(size = 12, face = "bold"),
       axis.title.y = element_text(vjust= 1.8, size = 18),
       axis.title.x = element_text(vjust= -0.5, size = 18),
       axis.title = element_text(face = "bold"),
       legend.position = "top",
       legend.text = element_text(size = 16),
       legend.title = element_text(size = 14),
       strip.text = element_text(face = "bold", size = 16))

A: Problem is with the x axis limits.
Modifying extending the limits give this:
ggplot(data10, aes(x = trial2, y = Eye_Rx),group = test) +
  geom_line(aes(color = Variables), lwd=1.2, show.legend = F) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = Eye_Rx - 1.96 * se, ymax = Eye_Rx + 1.96 * se, fill = Variables), alpha = .6) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("gray", "black"))+
  scale_color_manual(values = c("black", "gray")) +
  facet_nested(Condition ~ Group + test, scales = "free")+ theme_bw() +
  xlab("Trial") + ylab("Hand and Eye Reaction time (s)") +
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(1,13), breaks = seq(1,13,1),
                     labels = as.character(1:13)) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 12,face="bold", angle = 90),#, angle = 10, hjust = .5, vjust = .5),
        axis.text.y = element_text(size = 12, face = "bold"),
        axis.title.y = element_text(vjust= 1.8, size = 18),
        axis.title.x = element_text(vjust= -0.5, size = 18),
        axis.title = element_text(face = "bold")) +  theme(legend.position="top") +
  guides(fill=guide_legend(title="")) +
  theme(legend.text=element_text(size=16),legend.title=element_text(size=14) ) +
  theme(strip.text = element_text(face="bold", size=16))

Removing the limits and making the scale = "free", gives this:
ggplot(data10, aes(x = trial2, y = Eye_Rx),group = test) +
  geom_line(aes(color = Variables), lwd=1.2, show.legend = F) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = Eye_Rx - 1.96 * se, ymax = Eye_Rx + 1.96 * se, fill = Variables), alpha = .6) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("gray", "black"))+
  scale_color_manual(values = c("black", "gray")) +
  facet_nested(Condition ~ Group + test, scales = "free")+ theme_bw() +
  xlab("Trial") + ylab("Hand and Eye Reaction time (s)")  +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 12,face="bold", angle = 90),#, angle = 10, hjust = .5, vjust = .5),
        axis.text.y = element_text(size = 12, face = "bold"),
        axis.title.y = element_text(vjust= 1.8, size = 18),
        axis.title.x = element_text(vjust= -0.5, size = 18),
        axis.title = element_text(face = "bold")) +  theme(legend.position="top") +
  guides(fill=guide_legend(title="")) +
  theme(legend.text=element_text(size=16),legend.title=element_text(size=14) ) +
  theme(strip.text = element_text(face="bold", size=16))

New Deal For Ryan Giggs
Date: 10th February 2012 at 10:50am
Evergreen Ryan Giggs has signed a new deal at Manchester United that will see him remain at Old Trafford until 2013.
Giggs was coy on a setting a retirement date last month, claiming he will go on as long as he feels he can contribute to the team and he must feel he still has something to offer signing a one year deal.
This means Giggs' United career will enter a 23rd year and Sir Alex Ferguson was quick to praise the stalwart saying:
"Ryan is a marvellous player.
"In many ways, he epitomises all my teams here at United.
"He has constantly re-invented himself, adapted to the changing nature of the game and retained that desire and hunger for success."
Giggs said of his new deal:
"When I signed my first contract, I never thought I'd be able to play at United for 22 years but I feel good and I know I can still contribute to keeping the team pushing for honours.
"Winning the Club's 19th title was a great feeling but this club is all about what we do next and I'm really pleased I can be part of that."

35 of The Nation's Finest Plein Air Artists Gather in Laguna for the Laguna Plein Air Invitational
Laura Saari
There's a special charm to watching artists work in the elements— and it takes a special artist to do it right.
Whenever I come upon an artist working at an easel on the cliffs outside Montage, or on the bluff above the San Clemente Pier, or steeped in the flowers of Heisler Park, I have to stop to watch.
I've never been able to make a painting. So to stand there and see a familiar scene anew, to witness the cuneiform of a brushstroke instantly become a believable ocean wave—for me, it's magic.
This month, the same moment will happen many times over as 35 of the nation's finest plein-air painters gather here and set out to capture Orange County in an outdoor painting competition. Top prize: $10,000. Competitions like this take place all over the nation, but ours—one of the oldest at 19 years and based in stunningly beautiful Laguna Beach—is among the most coveted invitations. As one artist told me, "You'd be a fool to decline." The invitational, sponsored by the nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, takes place daily from Oct. 7 through 15 and offers plenty of free opportunities for the public to see art in progress.
When I meet him at Main Beach in Laguna, event founder John Cosby, left, stands at his easel, moving globs of paint around before the oils dry. He's blending the color of a "half-sunny" sky, a sooty wedgewood that looks like an afternoon marine layer blowing in darkly over a blue sky. He listens to science fiction through his white ear buds, and his eyes are shaded by a navy-blue cap bearing the name "Steinbeck." He's had no formal training, he says, except to follow his grandmother and watch her paint.
He soon learned this artistic endeavor gave him the chance to travel, and travel he has for more than four decades now, spending at least half of every month on the road. He's committed to a long-term project in the Rust Belt of the U.S.
At 62, he's considered one of the finest living plein-air artists, his works fetching anywhere from $3,000 to $35,000, depending on size. Some are tucked away in private collections. Cosby quickly wraps up the sky and moves on to a blob of buff-colored paint, capturing the change from light sand to dark sand.
Laguna Beach's very identity is tied to painters who practice their craft outdoors. The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association website claims that these artists "established" the town. But Cosby recalls his grandmother saying that in the 1930s, they never called themselves plein-air painters. They were just artists who liked to paint outdoors. But the task comes with many challenges.
In the two hours I stand with Cosby, he is accosted by tourists a dozen or more times. Several ask the way to the bathrooms. A mother from France toting kids wants to know if there are outdoor showers. Three homeless people give their opinions on his work. He tells me that occasionally a homeless person will set up his own easel nearby and sell paintings to tourists—which I guess beats panhandling. It's becoming clear why the ear buds, the sci-fi.
Bad weather is another issue. Cosby recalls a group trying to finish painting in a lightning storm on Cape Cod a few years ago. Often artists have only hours to finish, and time pressures force them to work through the bad weather.
"It was monsoon weather" in Maryland last summer, says Rita Pacheco, a Carlsbad artist in the invitational.
"It was 150 degrees outside and then boom—it starts raining," she says with a laugh. "I think, 'What the heck, I've got an umbrella. I'll just stand here and keep painting.' Then it starts coming in sideways. I'm soaked; my painting is soaked. My whole setup is soaked."
It's part of what draws painters outdoors—the changing conditions and the creative pressure it puts on them.
When I catch Pacheco, she's heading to an invitational on the East Coast.
"There are people who go from one invitational to the next," she says. "It's exhausting. You go to this town, and you're doing two or three paintings a day, you're buying frames, you're buying supplies, and then at the end of the week, you have to put up all your work and try to sell it. What you don't sell, you have to pack up."
When I lived in Laguna Beach 30 years ago, many of its artists were forced by housing costs to flee the village. I'm told that today, the bohemian artistic lifestyle is nearly impossible to pull off.
Some critics find it hypocritical that Laguna still takes its reputation to the bank, when the artists can't afford to live there. There's validity in that, but looking on the bright side, I applaud the city for carrying on the artistic traditions because ultimately it's the art that counts.
"This is about celebrating the legacy and preserving a tradition for many more years," says Rosemary Swimm, executive director of the organization since 2009.
I think she's right that plein-air will be a Laguna Beach brand for years, if not centuries, to come. After all, the cliffs, the shores, the air, the birds, and the beach blankets are all free. And that lady over there on the sand, stuffed into the too-small red bikini—Cosby just painted her in one swipe.
The invitational is Oct. 7 through 15. A complete schedule is at lagunapleinair.org/2017-events.

Issa ibne Iázide Aljuludi () foi um comandante militar do  para o Califado Abássida. Por duas vezes serviu como governador do Egito, de 827 a 829 e novamente de 829 a 830, bem como tornar-se-ia governador do  em 820.

Vida

Carreira inicial

Na crônica de Tabari, Issa aparece pela primeira vez em 813, próximo do fim da guerra civil entre os califas rivais Alamim  e Almamune , como um dos indivíduos que fizeram parte da comitiva de Alamim. após a execução de Alamim em setembro de 813, Issa entrou em serviço de Haçane ibne Sal, que foi nomeado por Almamune como governador de Bagdá, e nos anos subsequentes participou na luta para manter a autoridade de Almamune nos territórios centrais do califado.

Em 815, Issa foi enviado, junto de ,  e  para recapturar Meca, Medina e o , que haviam caído para os rebeldes alidas. As forças de Uarca e Issa avançaram contra Meca e, após unirem-se com o governador deposto do Iêmem, derrotaram o anti-califa  e entraram na cidade no começo de 816. Alguns meses depois, Issa derrotou uma força enviada para Meca por , que havia tomado controle do Iêmem, e por volta da mesma época Maomé ibne Jafar concordou em se render e abdicar. Issa então escoltou Maomé para Haçane ibne Sal, deixando seu filho como governador de Meca.

Após a designação por Almamune do alida Ali ibne Muça Arrida como seu sucessor em 817, Issa foi enviado para Baçorá para prender o governador  que havia se recusado a obedecer a ordem califal de abandonar a tradicional vestimenta preta abássida em favor da verde alida. Ele então foi para Meca, onde entregou um juramento de lealdade que a população deveria entregar a Ali. Almamune também nomeou Ibraim ibne Muça, que no meio tempo havia perdido o Iêmem para Hamdauai ibne Ali, com governador da província e instruiu Issa a assisti-lo na reconquista. Issa, contudo, permaneceu em Meca e não deu apoio a Ibraim (provavelmente por sua insatisfação com a nova política pró-xiita do califa), que foi derrotado por Hamdauai em 818 e forçado a retornar para Meca.

Em 820, Almamune ordenou a Issa que retomasse o Iêmem de Hamdauai, que foi então considerado um rebelde. Issa marchou para sul e derrotou Hamdauai no campo de batalha; o último fugiu para Saná, mas Issa o perseguiu, capturou e levou de volta para Almamune. Naquele mesmo ano, Issa foi nomeado pelo califa para combater os jates, que rebelaram-se no Iraque e estavam pilhando os arredores de Baçorá e Uacite; Tabari fornece nenhum detalhe da campanha, mas os jates permaneceram ativos até 835.

Governo do Egito

Em 827, Issa participou da reconquista do Egito realizada por Abedalá ibne Tair Coraçani, que acabou com o tumulto deflagado no país desde a eclosão da guerra civil. Após o Egito ser pacificado e Abedalá partir em 827, Issa foi nomeado governador representante da província. Quando o irmão do califa, Abu Ixaque (o futuro califa Almotácime, r. 833-842) tomou o lugar de Abedalá e assumiu o governo do Egito em 828, ele confirmou Issa como governador residente da segurança e fieis. Ao mesmo tempo, contudo, Abu Ixaque transferiu o controle dos impostos provinciais, dando-o a .

Os tributos elevados e a opressão oriunda da reimposição da autoridade califal no Egito tornaram o governo profundamente impopular e uma rebelião eclodiu no distrito de , no Baixo Egito. Issa respondeu à revolta ao enviar seu saíbe da xurta (chefe da segurança), seu filho Maomé, com um exército para lutar contra os haufitas. Maomé, contudo, sofreu uma pesada derrota em Bilbeis e por pouco escapou com vida, enquanto boa parte de seus homens foi morta. As notícias da derrota alcançaram Abu Ixaque, que respondeu com a demissão de Issa e a nomeação de Omeir ibne Alualide.

O governo de Omeir terminou subitamente em maio de 829, quando perdeu sua vida na batalha contra os rebeldes. Com a morte de Omeir, Abu Ixaque decidiu renomear Issa como governador, e o último tomou do filho de Omeir, Maomé, o controle dos assuntos do país. Issa então organizou uma nova tentativa de debelar a rebelião, mas ms haufitas derrotaram-no em  em setembro de 829, e ele esteve compelido a retirar-se para Fostate após queimar sua bagagem.

Após a derrota de Issa, o califa Almamune  decidiu que reforços eram necessários no Egito e ordenou que Abu Ixaque se dirigisse à província. Abu Ixaque chegou no Egito com  tropas turcas e rapidamente derrotou os rebeldes em outubro de 829. Após entrar em Fostate em novembro, onde recebeu homenagens de Issa e os notáveis locais, continuou a proteger a província e executar os líderes da rebelião. Cerca do fim do ano os haufitas foram pacificados e Abu Ixaque partiu à Síria em fevereiro de 830, levando consigo grande número de prisioneiros. Issa não reteve o governo do Egito após a campanha de Abu Ixaque, sendo ele demitido e substituído por .

Seleucus I Nicator (în greaca veche Σέλευκος Νικάτωρ, Nicator însemnând Învingătorul), (358 î.Hr. - 281 î.Hr.) a fost un comandant militar din Corint și unul dintre diadohii lui Alexandru cel Mare. În urma războaielor dintre diadohi, care au avut loc după moartea lui Alexandru, Seleucus a întemeiat Dinastia Seleucizilor și Imperiul Seleucid cu capitala în orașul Seleucia.

După moartea lui Alexandru, Seleucus a fost ales ca satrap al Babilonului în 320 î.Hr.. După ce Antigonus l-a forțat să fugă din Babilon, acesta s-a reîntors în anul 312 î.Hr. fiind sprijinit de Ptolemeu, cu ajutorul căruia a cucerit Persia și Media. Teritoriile considerate ca făcând parte din India a fost nevoit să le cedeze, fiind învins de către împăratul Indiei, Chandragupta Maurya. A încheiat cu acesta o alianță prin căsătoria unei prințese seleucide în schimbul a 500 de elefanți. Seleucus i-a învins pe Antigonus, în bătălia de la Ipsus în 301 î.Hr. și pe Lisimah, în bătălia de la Corupedium în 281 î.Hr..

A murit în cursul aceluiași an, fiind asasinat de către Ptolemeu Ceraunus. I-a succedat la conducerea Imperiului Seleucid fiul său, Antioh I.

Jeannette Glass
The Jeannette Glass Company is a former glass factory in Jeannette, Pennsylvania.
The Western Land and Improvement Company applied for a charter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to form a glass bottle manufacturer in 1887 and was soon approved. 8 The Jeannette Bottle Works Company was founded in Jeanette 1 2 and was headed by James A. Chambers, H. Sellers McKee, J. Gardner Cassatt, Horace Magee, and B. Maurice Gaskill. A company town that developed around the factory was named after McKee's wife.
The O'Neill semi-automatic bottle blowing machine, invented in 1898, was soon installed at Jeannette Bottle Works, where the company was mass-producing wide mouth jars, pressed glass items such as headlamp lenses, and bottles. 1 The company was succeeded by the Jeannette Glass Company on June 14. 8
By 1904, Jeannette Glass produced bottles for a wide range of products and expanded into prism glass in 1917. 2 Such glass was used to increase light exposure. The American 3-Way Luxfer Prism Company acquired a controlling interest in Jeannette Glass to ensure that they had an adequate prism glass supply.
Plant additions were completed in 1920. 8 In 1924, hand-pressed tableware was introduced into the product lineup, which made up for a decline in the production of prism glass. The American 3-Way Luxfer Prism Company gave up controlling interest in Jeannette Glass in 1926. The Depression-era glass defined the company in the 1930s, which included the Adam, Anniversary, Cherry Blossom, and Pansy pattern lines, and pastel colors such as pink and green. Peak capacity was reached in 1930 with five continuous production lines, although this had decreased to four lines by 1933.
Jeannette Glass became a publically owned corporation in 1935 and was listed on the stock exchange in 1936. 8
Production at Jeannette Glass waned during World War II, with the company down to three continuous lines by 1941 and just two lines by 1944. 8 It had increased to five lines by 1945 due to an increase in post-war consumer spending. 2 8 By the end of the decade, Jeannette Glass employed over 1,500. 6
In 1961, Jeannette Glass purchased the former Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company's McKee Glass Division plant in Jeannette and expanded with a new technical glassware department. 8 The company then installed the world's largest electric glass furnace to melt heat-resisting glass in 1963.
Jeannette Glass became the Jeannette Corporation in 1970 to reflect its diverse product range. Connecticut businessman John P. Brogan leveraged a buyout financed by Security Pacific Business Credit in 1981, 10 but due to Brogan's lack of knowledge in the glass industry, Jeannette was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1982. The company ceased operations in 1983. 1 2 5
The plant was soon purchased by New York businessman Abe Zion for $4 million in a bankruptcy sale. 3 4 5 9 Zion had hoped to reopen the factory as General Glass Industries 11 12 at the cost of $21 million. 11 The city received a $1.4 million economic package from the Economic Development Partnership Loan Program, which was to be used as a business loan to General Glass. Under the program, the city was to administer the loan and repay it back as money was available from the profits of General Glass. Additionally, the city loaned $600,000 to Zion in 1986 to jumpstart the project. 5 11 12 but the General Glass project never proceeded.
It was discovered that Zion had bribed city officials with gifts, and had employed the city solicitor to conduct legal work for him. 5 The city council hired Robert Durrant to conduct an internal investigation, who reported to the council about the loan and the entangled relationships between Zion and the mayor and city solicitor. The mayor resigned and the city solicitor was fired by the city council. Another investigation by the state inspector general concluded that the mayor had violated the state's Election Code and failed to report donations on state financial disclosure forms.
On October 20, the city hired a Pittsburgh law firm in an attempt to recover the $600,000 loan 12 and on November 4, Zion wrote the city a check for the amount of the loan to resolve the issue. 13
Claiming that the plant would be restarted, Zion repeatedly refused or ignored officials regarding proposals for redevelopments, but a 22-hour fire in the mid-1980s caused significant damage. 9 In 1988, the DEP cited Zion for multiple environmental violations and ordered him in 1989 to clean up latent industrial waste and ship them to an industrial landfill for disposal. The cleanup was completed in 1992. 4
On June 10, 1993, U.S. District Court Judge Gustave Diamond ordered the completion of Jeannette Glass' liquidation following the settlement of numerous disputes. 10 The reorganization of the debts became a sale of the factory's assets when a court-appointed trustee, James Moody, filed a lawsuit against Jeannette's owner and lender for fraud.
In the suit, Moody stated that Brogan purchased a profitable factory and drained its assets for quick personal gain. Moody had sought $16 million to pay the creditors and 700 former employees. The lawsuit was eventually ruled in favor of Moody, although it was partially overturned by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. 10 As part of the settlement, most of the $2.2 million in proceeds secured went to Security Pacific Business Credit while $591,000 went to cover lawyer fees. 10
In 1994, two Russian-born scientists sued Zion over the failure to restart the ovens at Jeannette, claiming breach of contract and defamation. 5 14 Leonid Landa and his wife, Ksenia, who once lived in Jeannette, stated that Zion had enticed them to immigrate from Israel, and promised them a prosperous future at a factory and research center designed for their needs. 14 Upon arrival, they were hailed as honorary citizens and were offered a car, house, medical benefits, and a salary of $52,000 each. The salary would double within a year, according to an oral agreement.
The Landas' had developed a glass manufacturing process in which glass could be transformed through pressure, resulting in a form of glass that was unbreakable. 14 They had also developed a glass cutting technique using ultraviolet light. Together, they would develop and refine the process at a restarted Jeannette glass plant.
But Zion had paid Landas only $8,000 for working just a few months and then stopped payment. 14 The Landas' car was also repossessed in February 1993, and they were not allowed to work in the glass plant. In March, Zion took their airline tickets the couple had planned to use to fly to Israel for their daughter's wedding, which they ultimately missed. In addition, Zion withheld information for their visa application extension with the hopes that they would be deported back to Israel. The lawsuit also included the mayor and former city solicitor, both of who had made public comments defaming the Landas.
In November 2003, just as a jury was to be selected for the Landa civil case, Zion settled out of court. 5
The state ordered Zion to demolish the ruins of Jeannette Glass in January 2011, which by that point had become far too deteriorated to salvage. 3

What a shame. I just looked at small class work of art that was where the bride put a piece of her wedding cake for good luck. It was my mom's, and probably given to her in 1955. I though, this is really a fine piece of glass, went to look up Jennette Glass, and found this very sad story. I hope there is a museum set up in that town in Pennsylvania, featuring the glassworks over it's close to century of production.

I just stumbled across this page…I was hired here in late 1992, just after I got out of serving 13 years in the Navy…I was supposed to work with a few people and the Landa's to open this back up…I was let go on March 12, 1993….the day before the Blizzard of 93….that place was, probably, the most dangerous place that I ever worked….crazy

I'm so glad I found this site! My grandfather, Bill Appleby, worked there when he was 10 years old. (1911) The son of English immigrants, it was either Jeannette glass or the mines. . .after one shift down in the mines he made his choice. If anyone has information or photos regarding the children who worked there from 1911-1917, I and my father would love to see them.
I noticed the plant still has millions of pieces of glasswares. Why does the onnwers donate this stuff to churches or homeless shelters?
Oh how very interesting this tour has been. I was looking up glassware inherited from my mother and aunt to find out if any of the depression glass is valuable. I have a lot of this pink and some white Jeannette glass ware, and use some of it frequently. I plan on passing it on to my children and grandchildren.
I collect and study the history of prism glass tiles. This has been a very interesting read. It's a real shame that it ended like that, I would have guessed closing it's doors due to more plastic use or out of country competition. Greedy evil people strike again.

Cynthia McGuinness says:
My grandfather, James McGuinness, came from Ireland in 1889 and was employed at the Jeannette Glass Factory. He rented a duplex from the Moody's. My father and two brothers were born in that duplex. They all grew up in Jeannette. His brother, James, and my father, George Alfred, became Medical Doctors.
Are there any pictures of ny Grandfather, James McGuinness taken at the glass factory?
Are there any historical information or pictures available? Please feel free to contact me.
Hi, Cynthia,
One of my ancestors, James O'Hare, was also involved in the company and with your grandfather, James McGuinness. I actually have some information on him that you may find interesting, please feel free to contact me at a.h.1992@hotmail.com.

That place was a part of my young life,Looking at the pics brings back memories, the sounds the smells, maybe thats why I have this cough. I could walk through that place blindfolded. I often wonder about all the people that I worked with.

Exploring the First German Reformed Church
Constructed in 1850 as the First German Reformed Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, the church served a predominately German-American neighborhood. The congregation folded in 1970 as the population declined …

If you are serious about creating maps for your campaign, I strongly recommend picking up the entire line of ProFantasy products (at least: Campaign Cartographer, Dungeon Designer, City Designer, and Fractal Terrains) and taking the time to learn them. Also, the forums at ProFantasy and Cartographer's Guild are filled with experienced mappers and tons of tips.
Here are a few tutorials that I have written. I hope to add to this section regularly.
Hereafter a few FT3 tutorials I did years ago. You may still find them useful, but they are also problematic as well. Hopefully, I'll have time soon to go back and revise them.
Here are a few tutorials that I have found useful.

What is the longest aired episode of a TV series?
It has been rumored that every episode of Season 8 of Game Of Thrones could be ninety minutes long - making each episode comparable with the running time of full-length feature films. It seems very rare for television episodes to run longer than an hour, prompting the question - what is the longest episode of any television series that has been aired?
A list of clarification caveats:
It doesn't matter which country created or aired the episode.
Either fiction or nonfiction is fine.
No made-for-tv movies (or syndication of a film after its theatrical run)
Episodes of a miniseries (such as may be found on British TV) do count, even if they only run for a season - but it still has to be one episode.
No episodes that were longer but were cut shorter to fit into a smaller timeslot (although that might be a bonus answer, too) - this question is looking for the longest episode according to the amount of time it was actually on the air.
The "running time" of the episode doesn't include commercial breaks or any other sort of intermission.

Sherlock episodes are all at least 90 minutes. I'm currently watching the HBO 2008 series John Adams and the second episode is 91 minutes. The classic miniseries Roots had episodes around 110-120 minutes each. – sanpaco Jul 4 '17 at 5:46
You might need to clarify how a mini-series counts. Per episode would be a more balanced approach, otherwise 6 episodes would always beat 3. I avoided them for my answer. – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 7:31
According to Wikipedia no Roots episode ran longer than 90 mins. – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 9:12
Two more clarification caveats: does the time include commercial breaks and you mention that the time has to be actually on air, that would mean for example that Netflix only series won't count (they never air on tv)? – Communisty Jul 4 '17 at 12:20
New here, so not 100% sure what's meant by "network television" (the tag has no info), but if ITV4 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV4) counts, the currently coverage of the Tour de France has "episodes" running up to 6 hours (incl. adverts). itv.com/tourdefrance/tv-schedule/… – freedomn-m Jul 4 '17 at 21:12
The final of Muhteşem Yüzyıl (The Magnificent Century) is 157 minutes without commercials. The final episode is on Youtube and it is a historical fiction series according to Wikipedia.
It is very common for Turkish TV series for 2 hours or more each episode. The final episode of each season even lasts longer.
TV channels generally air a shortened version / recap of the previous episode first. This generally takes 1 hour. After that airs 2 to 3 hours of the show. Including the commercials a single episode takes around 4 hours each night.
Also there are nearly 40 episodes each season. Note these numbers are not exceptions, it is the current pattern for popular channels now in Turkey.
Others: Episodes are free on broadcaster's page (but in Turkish)
Cesur ve Güzel episode 32 159 minutes
Kara Sevda episode 74 (final) 148 minutes
Istanbullu Gelin episode 16 145 minutes

As I can't read the links, could you clarify for us - are these proper full-budget drama series, or are they really 'soaps'? For comparison, the UK Eastenders Omnibus show ran at 2 hours [no advert breaks] every Sunday, for many years in the 2000s, but I'm not sure it would count. – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 18:07
I added Muhteşem yüzyıl final YouTube link. It was one of the highest rating show of that year in Turkey. It is a historical fiction series according to en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhteşem_Yüzyıl – Gorkem Jul 4 '17 at 19:15
Wow, 1 hour-long previouslies?! And I thought they were crazy long on some of our (North American) shows! – Steve-O Jul 6 '17 at 13:18
@Pureferret - it just seems to be 'cheating' - like the Eastenders Omnibus; it was just all the episodes for that week edited into one long show. Being BBC, it had no ads, so was 120 mins every week. – disassociated Jul 7 '17 at 13:49
@Knetic - I think we're now talking at cross-purposes ;) – disassociated Jul 8 '17 at 6:13
The last episode of M*A*S*H, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" has a runtime of 121 minutes. See the Amazon product page for the DVD release of this single episode

I'm liking this so far for the 'English Language winner' & also very probably wins the "how much can we milk this?" award ;-) – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 18:00
MASH final was my first thought as well. – JohnP Jul 5 '17 at 5:24
@Tetsujin - Its almost certainly going to be the US broadcast TV winner. Streaming services like Netflix or non-hourly scheduled services like HBO don't have the same constraints, I could see them going longer (if not now, perhaps in the future) – T.E.D. Jul 6 '17 at 14:15
In the UK it is very common for 'serious crime drama' to run at 90 mins - there are far too many shows to list.
These, however all break the 90 minute barrier & are are all single story per episode crime dramas, not mini-series...
BBC shows have the advantage over all others in that there are no adverts.
Inspector Morse ran 33 episodes at between 98 – 105 mins [2hr inc ads]
Poirot similarly [lengths varied across 13 seasons from 50 - 102 mins]
The pilot episode of Blue Murder ran at 138 mins - but was actually broadcast in two parts.
Silent Witness runs at 120 mins - but most episodes are shown split over two consecutive days at 60m each.
Seasons 3, 4 & 5 apparently ran as full 2 hour episodes [no ads, BBC] - so this might be the winner.
I just discovered Wikipedia disputes the IMDB data, so I've demoted it.
Possibly the first to use the long format was Columbo which ran at various lengths from 73 - 98 minutes.

I think breaking in tow parts makes it two episode and shouldn't be counted – Ankit Sharma Jul 4 '17 at 7:33
...which is why I put Blue Murder at the bottom of the list & Silent Witness at the top. – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 7:34
hmmm....fair enough but two part story in TV shows is too common I suppose – Ankit Sharma Jul 4 '17 at 7:34
Crime shows here tend to run as either a full season per plot arc, with sub arcs, or as single episode self-contained stories. I can only think of a few exceptions. Cracker & Waking the Dead [which I excluded for always being in 2 parts] whereas SW has used both 1 & 2-part formats. Morse would have been right at the top of the list, notably as the first UK crime drama to go the full 2 hours every week - but it had adverts, which lost it time. – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 7:37
Not sure, but you'd think Midsomer would be a deserted village by now ;) – disassociated Jul 5 '17 at 3:58
To my surprise, I found answer in the Guinness book of world Records. There was a record for record-breaking single shot episode by Indian television series C.I.D.
The story is interesting as the director put condition to channel that if he could break record for single shot episode, it should be telecast same way without any cuts and it was aired on Sunday, 7 November 2004 at 8:00 pm IST. This episode was 111 minutes. You can read full blog here.

Considering some of the insanely large quantities in the Guinness book, 111 mins isn't actually that impressive, it's just shy of two hours. 🤔 – Sidney Jul 4 '17 at 11:28
@Sidney - yeah, and this coming from India I expected something crazy like 5 hours at least. – Davor Jul 4 '17 at 11:29
The "longest single shot episode" is not necessarily the "longest episode", it's just the longest episode that only had a single shot. (I'm not saying this isn't a good suggestion, just saying that the Guinness Record isn't evidence that you've found the answer. – AndyT Jul 4 '17 at 11:34
I think it's fairly clear from the Wikipedia link that it was indeed done in a single one-camera take, from beginning to end. I hope, for the cameraman's sake, that he had a dolly not a steadicam :P [I noticed it also doesn't mention how many takes it took. It wasn't live, it was just broadcast "as live" so it might have taken 15 takes to get right ;) – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 17:55
@TheDarkSide In filmography, a "single shot" scene is a continuous film sequence without a cut. It doesn't mean the camera isn't moved during the shot. I actually could imagine a two hour long crime investigation story in a single shot. Imagine a dead body, a couple suspects and a detective locked in a room for two hours and they discuss the crime until the perpetrator finally cracks. – Philipp Jul 5 '17 at 14:47
The Slow Television phenomenon in Norway almost certainly takes the record here. They broadcast long uninterrupted shows, like a 7-hour train journey, or a yule log burning. The longest I can find on a quick perusal of the Wikipedia page was a 60-hour broadcast:
On 28–30 November 2014, NRK aired the 60-hour Hymnal - cover to cover. The show depicted about 200 choirs, including around 3,000-4,000 singers and soloists, performing the entire contents of the Church of Norway's national hymnal, published in 2013. Most of the performances took place live at Vår Frue Church in Trondheim, though some recorded performances came from 11 other sites such as Karasjok in northern Norway and Decorah, Iowa. The church was open throughout the show, and more than 16,000 visitors dropped in. A total of 2.2 million viewers tuned in at some point during the program, with an average of 87,000 at any one time.

I was thinking about this, but aren't they one-off broadcasts rather than episodes in a series? Worth a mention either way. – user56reinstatemonica8 Jul 4 '17 at 15:53
@user568458. You may well have a point there, actually. Though I think that some of these shows might be follow-ups to previous shows. – TRiG Jul 4 '17 at 16:54
We'll be adding that Andy Warhol film of a building's lights going on & off for 24 hours to this list eventually ;-) – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 17:47
Link - Empire & sorry to disappoint, but it's only 8 hours... much more pacy than I originally thought ;) – disassociated Jul 4 '17 at 17:49
NRK aired an earlier, longer slow television program, Hurtigruten minute by minute (2011), which went uninterrupted for 134 hours, and currently holds the Guinness record of being the longest live television documentary broadcast. – Frxstrem Jul 9 '17 at 12:05
Many of the early episodes of Taggart, a Scottish police drama series, were 2 hours long including adverts. The longest was 145 minutes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Taggart_episodes#Series_9_.281993.29
CSMCSM
Nice, but when it says "Original airdate: 20 April –4 May 1993", does that mean it was split across three days, so three sub-episodes rather than broadcast as one 145 minute mega-episode? – user56reinstatemonica8 Jul 5 '17 at 8:11
Yes, it would have been broadcast as three separate sub-episodes. (I don't recall whether I saw that particular storyline but I certainly watched Taggart around 1993 and that was how it worked.) – Especially Lime Jul 5 '17 at 14:18
I think that the first few series had 90 minute episodes, these are shown with a single date in the episode list. – CSM Jul 5 '17 at 19:28
Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War" (1983) is 14 hours 43 minutes (883 minutes) in seven episodes. Individual episodes range from 1.5-ish to 2.5-ish hours long. Episode 1, The Winds Rise, has a run time of 2:28:48 (148+ minutes). Episode 7 is about a minute shorter.
"War and Rememberance" is similar: 1620 minutes in 12 episodes. The first episode is 149 minutes.
Of fiction, these seem to be winners (so far).
Eric TowersEric Towers
I guess the "BBC Four Goes Slow" series technically counts as a TV series and each "episode" (although they are relatively unrelated to each other) are 1 to 3 hours in length (tour of the London National Gallery is the longest at 3 hours/180mins of a single episode - with no advert breaks as it's the BBC - and the shortest being an hour of birdsong)

The last episode of Season 9 of The X-Files lasted for 1 hour and 26 minutes (86 minutes). That is 91% more than the average episode (45 minutes).

That's not even close to some of the other candidates mentioned, so I'm quite sure this doesn't answer the question. – Mast Jul 15 '17 at 12:59
During the 1960's in the USA there was a western TV show called the Virginian. It stared James Drury, Lee J Cobb, and Doug McClure. It was 90 minute per episode show.
