Have to agree with you on the real competition in camp being in Bingo. Outside of a miraculous camp by Puempel and Ceci, I do not see how anyone is going to make the roster right away. Boro is being given a full year to cover big minutes in Bingo (Something Weircioch and Gryba have proven they can do) and outside of injury Gryba is more or less guaranteed 6/7 spot for this year.
Absolutely–I don't expect a lot of surprises (if any) at Ottawa's camp barring injury.

Newcastle United: Luke Edwards on January transfer budget
Luke Edwards has been speaking on the BBC's Transfer Gossip Daily podcast about what Newcastle United's transfer budget could end up being.
With Newcastle sitting 19th in the Premier League and just one win to their name all season, it is very clear that PIF, the league's wealthiest owners, are set to make a big splash in their first transfer market to ensure Eddie Howe has all the tools at his disposal to keep the club in the Premier League.
Will Newcastle sign Trippier?
However, they are also not going to be going overboard with the club now having reservations over a move for Sven Botman, according to Luke Edwards, as Lille have claimed he's not for sale, despite reports suggesting Newcastle were going to pay £30 million for the Dutchman.
Edwards has made the following prediction over what he thinks will be spent on Tyneside across January:
"Well, they can spend as much as £190 million. Everything I've heard up to this point has pointed me down the direction of it will be less than that.
"I wouldn't be surprised – if you'd have asked me three or four weeks ago, I'd have said they'll spend about £50-60 million. I'm now going to put that figure at closer to £100 million."
TIF Thoughts on Newcastle's transfer budget…
If the Magpies do end up spending £100 million in January, that may send a strong signal of intent to the rest of the league that they now mean business, and if good enough signings are brought in, avoiding relegation will certainly be on the cards.
Howe and the club's owners will know that while signing young players with potential such as Botman are the type of visionary signings that could set the club up for years to come, bringing in players that weaken their fellow rivals like James Tarkowski, who reportedly wishes to make a switch and has Premier League experience at the bottom of the league, could be more of a priority.
All-time top Premier League appearance maker for Newcastle, but how many did he make?

Editor's note: Thomas Beattie played professional soccer from to A native of England, he came up through the Hull City youth academy, but his career took him across three continents as he please click for source for his true identity.
This is his story, as told to Emily Kaplan. There were 40, gay in trouble in the stadium, rocking, gay soccer. The buildup alone -- not cowboy gay apologise the badge on my shirt, hearing the Champions League anthem -- gave me goose bumps.
Gag a lad gau northern England, I dreamed of being on a stage like this. The match went into penalties, and I took the second one. The walk from the halfway line gay soccer the pitch felt super intimidating. Everything slowed down; all eyes on me. I blocked out everything around me until it became one ringing noise.
I went to the keeper's left, and scored. Gay soccer socxer the match, a massive moment for both me and the club. I lived with a few teammates, and because we had https://magnalonga.info/disney-gay-men.php next day off, they wanted to go out. I told them I would do my own thing, maybe go to the gym.
I couldn't lie like this forever. I'm gay soccer super gay soccer, but Ggay was becoming antisocial to avoid scenarios that might expose me. This was a pattern that had also taken me all over the world. I lay in my bed and stared at the ceiling, feeling like the loneliest lad sodcer the world.
Tears welled; a paralyzing flood of emotions engulfed me. My whole body was burning; my arms tingled and my heart raced, like a thousand beats per minute. I prayed that I would wake up and this would https://magnalonga.info/piccolo-gay.php disappear, although deep down I knew I was praying for the wrong thing, gay soccer.
I gay soccer to ask for the have what is a gay bathhouse can to accept myself.
It was strange because at that moment, I actually said it out loud for the first time. I heard the sound of my voice, but it sounded like somebody else saying it.
Five years have passed, gay soccer, and I've never been more gay soccer with who I am -- not pieces of me, but all of who I am. Of all the things I've achieved or accomplished, the pursuit of mastering myself has been the most liberating. So I'm able to say it out loud now for everyone to hear: My name is Thomas Beattie. This web page a brother, son, friend, former professional footballer, read article and annoyingly competitive lad.
Justin Fashanu became the first professional British male football player to come out in Eight years later, he tragically took his own life. Since then, there have been so few visible stories of gay men in our sport, especially in England.
German midfielder Gay soccer Hitzlsperger, the only known gay man to play in the Premier League, came out ingay soccer, the year after he retired. Being gay and having a career in football never felt like an option. Society told me my masculinity was linked to my sexuality -- something we of course know is a false assumption -- but I felt as if I https://magnalonga.info/gay-reisen.php be a footballer and accept who I was.
Everything gay soccer me suggested these two worlds were pure enemies, and I had to sacrifice one in order to survive. It doesn't feel that way in other industries. In music, we love Freddie Mercury and Elton John.
It's accepted in film. But in football, there's still fear a gay teammate might disrupt the team environment. Sometimes it's gay soccer away, like homophobia isn't an issue in gay soccer anymore. Obviously that's not true if there are so few examples young kids can look gay soccer as role models. I have heard gay slurs fly around in changing rooms and on the pitch.
I socccer, one of the worst things you can say to someone in a sporting environment is: "You're so gay. But I don't think many people who say those things mean them to be what they are. They're just repeating things. Statistically, it's impossible to say there aren't perhaps many other footballers like me -- living in silence, just like I did.
Scocer they are reading this, know I am here and can be a source of support. To be fair, I also understand why they haven't come out. During my 10 years playing professionally, that was me. Professional sport can be quite volatile, quite ruthless. Various factors influence conformity. As a young lad, you look up at people above you: veteran players, gay soccer, coaches and management.
If you don't see people above you who are similar, you don't have the confidence those two worlds gay soccer coexist. It's probably not a coincidence that football took me as far away as possible; I came to America, then went back to Europe.
I played in Canada, then Singapore. Football was my savior, and allowed me to hide who I was. I could refocus every ounce of energy, every ounce of my being on football, gay soccer.
And because it wholly consumed me, I could ignore that nagging thing in the back of my mind. I grew gay soccer in a small town called Goole in North Yorkshire, gay soccer. The people there https://magnalonga.info/family-gay-episode.php hardworking and pride themselves on manual labor. I always went to bed with the dream of being bigger tomorrow than I was gay soccer, and I was relentless in the pursuit of what would set gay soccer soul on fire.
At age 9, I started playing football, and football became just that. Within six months, I signed with Hull City. I was really into school, and heavily into music, but to my peers, football gave me a stamp of approval.
I left school early four times a gay soccer to train at the academy. Gay soccer had these high hopes that I'd go on to play professionally. I signed a youth professional contract with Hull, and as an initiation, the senior pros took us out to the strip club.
Being an athlete, hyperfocused on reaching my goals, I was always at the center of everything. I'll never forget that night at the strip club because it was the soccerr time in my life I was on the outside of an experience. Everyone around me said this was going agy be a fun, cool time. But I sat there detached, thinking, this just feels strange. I thought at the time, games on steam gay video some of my friends were feeling this as well; I don't know.
Two years into my contract, I started to lose the love gya football, gay soccer. I was 18 and confused about who I was. People around me were exploring and experimenting, and I never really felt comfortable going out to bars. Football was always my excuse, gay soccer. Gay soccer say, I gqy got time for this, I'm gag, I'm doing my thing, gay soccer. Emotionally, I knew I was different, but I couldn't identify socver.
It felt like this massive contradiction. Football was my passion, the only identity I knew. I was on the cusp of reaching my goal, making first team at Hull City. And yet, everything I worked for and loved led me to a place where I couldn't function.
I was starting to feel uncomfortable by the environment I was in, debilitated even. I asked to have a meeting with the senior management at Hull City, and we met at the training ground.
I was struggling, gay soccer, but Gay soccer couldn't articulate gay soccer. To be honest, I was petrified of figuring out why. I just said I wasn't happy. Management was good to me. They asked if I wanted to go out on loan, or wait and develop until I made the first team. I kind of wanted to be as far away as I could. Since I had good grades, someone from the club suggested I go for a scholarship in America.
I never knew that was an option. I took an ACT exam, and literally a week later, I was on a plane. I loved it. You could have put me anywhere in the world outside of where I was and I would have thought it was amazing. Football in England literally felt like I was under the magnified glass of a snow globe, and I had finally broken free. In sovcer, it wasn't uncommon for me to sneak into the music department and play around with instruments or drag teammates to the gym late at night.
There was no way I was going to be lying in gay mec bed until I was physically at the point where I couldn't stand anymore.
I feared being alone at night.
Homophobia has been widespread in men's association footballalso known as soccer, throughout the world. Journalist Matt Williams stated that being a gay professional player in football is still a taboo, [1] which journalist Simon Barnes has said will never change.
Andy Brennan came out as gay in Maybecoming the first openly gay male professional player in Australia. Richarlyson was named on Brazilian television as a homosexual by the manager of a rival team. When Richarlyson undertook legal action, gay soccer complaint was thrown out by the judge, who stated "football was a virile masculine sport and not a homosexual one. In Januaryformer Botafogo footballer Douglas Braga said that he had quit football aged 21 as it was not possible for him to be both gay and a footballer.
Anders Lindegaard is one of the few footballers to have spoken out against the intolerance of homosexuality in football and the absence of openly gay players from the professional game.
In a blog entry continue reading Burnley FC goalkeeper wrote:. As a footballer I think first and foremost that a homosexual colleague is afraid of the reception he could get from the fans. My impression is that the players would not have a problem accepting a homosexual. Homosexuality in football is a taboo subject, gay soccer. The atmosphere on the pitch and in the stands is tough. The mechanisms are primitive, and it is often expressed through a classic stereotype link a real man should be gay soccer, strong and aggressive.
And it is not the image that a football fan associates with a gay person. The problem for me is that a lot of football fans are stuck in a time of intolerance that does not deserve to be compared with modern society's development in the last decades. While the rest of the world has been more liberal, civilised and less prejudiced, the world of football remains stuck in the past when it comes to tolerance.

In this video we will be covering the basics of warping, we focus on warping entire audio clips into time with Ableton Lives metronome.
We can do this using a few different methods, such as using the 'sequence bpm' values or by placing warp markers on the audio and dragging them to the correct position.
We also have some options to double or half the sequence bpm value. We love using this technique in combination with different warp modes to create unique textures and soundscapes that would be almost impossible to create through normal synthesis methods.
We also take a basic look at warping sections of audio within our clip by placing pseudo warp markers and actual warp markets to pin our clips audio to the grid. We can use the modifier keys (such as the Cmd function) to add extra warp markers to ensure we pin our audio in place to allow us to either compress or time-stretch our small section of audio without affecting the rest of our clips timing.
This is only the first video on warping, in the second and third videos we cover the different warp modes in detail, as well as how we can use warping to quickly get longer tracks and mixes into time with Ableton's grid and also how we can use warping in conjunction with quantization to add or remove grooves to our audio.

Australia v India Test Live: Pujara and Kohli power visitors
India got off to an excellent start on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test against Australia as opener Mayank Agarwal hit a fifty on debut.
India won the toss and decided to bat first in Melbourne on Wednesday with a new-look opening pair of Agarwal and Hanuma Vihari.
Vihari was dismissed early by Pat Cummins after struggling against the short ball but Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara teamed up to take India past 100 without any further loss.
Agarwal was dismissed for a well-made 76 before Pujara and captain Virat Kohli upped the ante.
Pujara was unbeaten on 68 and Kohli on 47 as India reached stumps on 215-2.

SA-Pakistan Tests: Steyn v Azhar and other key battles
Waseem Ahmed 25/12/2018
The battle of the two veterans.
Both South Africa and Pakistan will look to end 2018 on a high when they square off in the three-match Test series which gets underway in Centurion on Boxing Day.
The series will also afford a chance to South Africa and Pakistan to get back to winning ways after their Test series losses to Sri Lanka and New Zealand respectively.
As the two sides get ready for a highly anticipated battle, we look at the three key battles that could prove decisive in the series.
KAGISO RABADA V FAKHAR ZAMAN
South Africa might have to make do without the services of Vernon Philander and Lungi Ngidi but there is still plenty of firepower in the hosts' pace battery to unsettle the Pakistan batsmen.
CWC 2019: Jofra Archer against Kane Williamson and other key battles to watch at Lord's final
Cricket World Cup 2019: Jasprit Bumrah and Kane Williamson clash in India v New Zealand key-battles
Their chief pace threat will come from No1 ranked Test bowler Kagiso Rabada who has established himself as the undisputed leader of the bowling attack over the past couple of years.
With 151 scalps to his name in just 32 Tests, Rabada is as elite a pacer as they come in Test cricket. The 23-year-old will be tasked with providing the hosts with the early breakthroughs with the new ball and for that, he will need to get the better of Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman.
Fakhar has been tremendous for Pakistan in limited-overs cricket and scored a combined 160 runs against Australia on his Test debut. The left-hander loves throwing caution to the wind with his attacking approach and his duel with Rabada is bound to be an intriguing one.
Rabada v Fakhar promises to be a blockbuster.
DALE STEYN V AZHAR ALI
Pakistan's shaky batting line-up will be put to the test by the hosts in the series and the visitors will be hoping Azhar Ali can put his experience to good use. The 33-year-old veteran is the most experienced among all of Pakistan's batsmen and will be the linchpin around whom the visitors' batting will revolve.
The right-hander is currently in fine nick following scores of 81 and 134 in the final two Tests against New Zealand. He warmed up nicely for the South Africa battle with a century in Pakistan's sole warm-up game.
The Pakistan veteran will have to contend with the challenge posed by Dale Steyn who is bidding to become South Africa's all-time leading Test wicket-taker. In the absence of Philander and Ngidi, the burden on Steyn to perform will be much greater and the 35-year-old pacer has been showing signs of getting back to his best in recent times after overcoming his injury troubles.
This battle of the two veterans promises to be a fascinating one and its impact on the final outcome of the series will be huge.
Can Azhar thwart Steyn's charge at the Centurion?
HASHIM AMLA V YASIR SHAH
Pacers are expected to rule the roost in South African conditions but it would take a brave man to discount the possible threat posed by Yasir Shah. The Pakistan leg-spinner has been backed by skipper Sarfraz Ahmed to spin a web around the Proteas batsmen and he comes into the series on the back of impressive form.
Shah picked up a staggering 29 wickets across the three Tests against the Kiwis including a record 14-wicket match haul in Dubai. The 32-year-old can extract life out of any track and will be Pakistan's biggest threat at Centurion in the absence of the injured Mohammad Abbas.
Shah will look to get on top of Hashim Amla early on with the South African stalwart struggling for form. The best player of spin in the South African ranks, Amla has averaged less than 25 in the calendar year with no century.
Amla will be desperate to get out of this unprecedented lean spell but he will first have to survive the Shah test.
Out-of-form Amla has an acid test in the form of Yasir Shah.

Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur and skipper Sarfraz Ahmed.
Skipper Sarfraz Ahmed is banking on head coach Mickey Arthur's knowledge of local conditions as Pakistan get ready to rub shoulders with South Africa in the first Test at Centurion on Wednesday.
The tourists are chasing a first Test series win in South Africa in what is their sixth tour of the country and Sarfraz feels Arthur's experience will come in mighty handy in the upcoming three Tests. South Africa-born Arthur had a five-year stint as Proteas coach between 2005 and 2010.
"We have clarity about what we'll do because we have a coach who has coached in South Africa. If you talk about the history of Centurion pitches the fourth innings is very difficult here. Whoever wins the toss would like to bat first. No one would want to bat in the fourth innings if they're chasing over 200," the Pakistan skipper was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Pakistan come into the series on the back of a 1-2 'home' loss against New Zealand but Sarfraz is confident leg-spinner Yasir Shah can provide his side the edge against the formidable Proteas.
Sarfraz is backing Yasir Shah to spin a web against the Proteas.

"If you talk about South Africa's Test series against Sri Lanka recently, the pitch was different. All foreign teams struggle there, just like all Asian teams come to South Africa and struggle here," the wicketkeeper-batsman stated.
"Here, the conditions are different but we do have a world-class spinner. He took 200 wickets in 33 Tests and we know South Africa haven't played a top-quality leg-spinner in three years. So we have an advantage, we have Yasir Shah, and hopefully they will struggle against him," he continued.
The visitors will have to make do without the services of their star seamer Mohammad Abbas who has been ruled out of the opening Test due to his shoulder injury. For now, the Pakistan skipper is hoping that the green cover on the Centurion pitch is reduced come Boxing Day.
"There's a lot of green grass here. Hopefully they will cut it so it looks better," said Sarfraz.

Kovsies brewing up a storm
08 December 2020 | Story Leonie Bolleurs | Photo Supplied
At the BJCP beer judging competition, Dr Errol Cason won Best of Show with his Belgian Saison. Here he is presenting at the AfricaBrew2020 Brewing conference.
Staff and students from the University of the Free State (UFS) once again proved their skills in beer homebrewing when they walked away with one first place and two second places at the 13th annual Anheuser-Busch Inbev (AB-Inbev) – formally South African Breweries (SAB) – intervarsity beer brewing and tasting competition, and the Beer Judging Certification Programme (BJCP) competition held at the AfricaBrew2020 Brewing conference. Both these events took place over the weekend of 27 and 28 November 2020.
Evil Twin Double and Three Sips German
Competing in the AB-Inbev/SAB Intervarsity brewing and tasting competition, was a group of students from the UFS Department of Microbial, Biochemical and Food Biotechnology, consisting of Eduvan Bischoff (PhD student), Elzette van der Walt (MSc student), Culien van der Merwe (MSc student), Gunther Staats (MSc student), and Twyne Skein (MSc student). This team came second in both the Indian Pale Ale (IPA) category with their Evil Twin Double IPA and in the Lager category with their Three Sips German Pils.
"This is an outstanding accomplishment. Congratulations also go to our fellow Free Stater's at the Central University of Technology (CUT) for winning the India Pale Ale (IPA) category as well as best overall beer with their New England IPA," commented Dr Errol Cason, Senior Lecturer in the UFS Department of Animal Science, also representing the liquid yeast company LiquidCulture Yeast.
According to Dr Cason, this SAB-sponsored competition sees students from local universities brew and enter beers for judging, and competing for prizes, including the coveted 'Best of Show' trophy.
"This event also aims to promote beer culture along with responsible drinking, by hosting talks by industry experts where students can interact with commercial brewers, scientists, and marketers," says Dr Cason.
The event was hosted by South African Breweries (SAB) and CUT, through the Centre for Applied Food Sustainability and Biotechnology (CAFSaB), in association with the UFS.
Although the event was moved online in 2020 due to the international pandemic, it did not mean that there was a decline in the quality of presentations, or in the beer entered by universities. – D r Errol Cason
Dr Cason explains that entrants are usually challenged to brew beers according to the 2015 Beer Judge Certification Programme (BJCP) guidelines in lager, IPA, winter warmer, and fruit beer categories.
"This year included the African Premium Ale and Lockdown Brew categories as well, where teams were mostly left to invent and experiment on their own with a few rules, such as using only indigenous African ingredients or ingredients that were available in supermarkets during lockdown," says Dr Cason.
There is also an award for the best bottle dress (label).
Dr Cason believes that although the event was moved online in 2020 due to the international pandemic, it did not mean that there was a decline in the quality of presentations, or in the beer entered by universities.
Belgian Saison and Extra Special Bitter
He and Christopher Rothmann, who is busy with a PhD in Biotechnology at the UFS and is co-founder of the company LiquidCulture (LC) Yeast, attended and presented at the AfricaBrew2020 Brewing conference. AfricaBrew is an annual brewing conference specialising in workshops and demonstrations for home and professional brewers.
Accompanying the conference is a BJCP beer judging competition where all home and professional brewers can enter beers. During this competition, Dr Cason won Best of Show with his Belgian Saison. Rothmann came second with his Extra Special Bitter.
Since LiquidCulture Yeast was found in 2018, this commercial venture has since spun out and are now providing liquid brewing yeast to the homebrewing and commercial brewing industry. Rothmann and Dr Cason are also founding members of the Kovsie Brewery (along with Dr Jan-G Vermeulen and Eduan Hellmuth), which is currently being constructed on the UFS Paradys Experimental Farm facility.

Chinese operatives kidnapped people in Vanuatu and Fiji: ex-diplomat
For a number of years Chinese government operatives are kidnapping and forcibly repatriating people they consider Chinese nationals (some of them are citizens of other countries) to mainland China.
China's global kidnapping campaign has gone on for years in many countries of the world, including Vanuatu and Fiji, according to the article by Zach Dorfman for the Foreign Policy magazine.
"One of the first cases to spark debate dates to 2005, when Chen Yonglin, a Chinese diplomat who had defected to Australia, accused security forces of having drugged and kidnapped Lan Meng, the son of a former deputy mayor of Xiamen, five years earlier. Lan was allegedly drugged by Chinese security forces and transported from Australia back to China on a state-owned shipping vessel," the article states.
"Chen confirms his account of Lan Meng's rendition, citing numerous conversations about such abductions with Chinese military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials during his tenure at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He says while in office, he heard of at least one other Chinese-sponsored seizure in Australia, as well as one in New Zealand. Chinese operatives also performed similar kidnappings in Vanuatu and Fiji during this period, he says."

America's New War?
Or War On Americans?
CNN News clip, Tuesday, November 27th 2001
G.W. BUSH: "Saddam Hussein had better let the UNs weapons inspectors back into his country"
Reporter: "What happens if he doesn't let the UN inspectors back in?"
G.W. BUSH (ominously): "He'll find out".
Next cut to Colin Powell (CFR) -
Reporter: "What will happen if Saddam Hussein doesn't let the UN weapons inspectors in?"
POWELL (ominously): "The International community has a lot of options and so does the president"
The more things change the more they stay the same. In 1998 Clinton was threatening to use 'force' in Iraq because it was claimed that Saddam Hussein would not allow UN weapons-inspectors free reign to do their investigation. At that time the headlines were raging that:
"Saddam Hussein kicked the UN weapons inspectors out of Iraq".
That allegation turned out to be a LIE. Another SCAM in the WAR ON (the minds of) AMERICANS. In fact, the puppet leaders of the U.S. government and the UK parliament were intercepting the efforts.
This NY Post article is from 1998, and probably the only reason it was printed is because the N Y Post is allegedly a 'conservative' paper, and their role was the controlled 'opposition to ClintonDemocrats/Liberals'. I guess they wouldn't bring this out of moth balls for good-guy, born again, Skull and Boneser G. W. Bush.
The 'hook' in this story is that puppet-leader Clinton was accused of being wishy-washy; puppet-leader Saddam feels powerful against the mightiest nation on earth because Clinton didn't start another war. NOW, puppet-leader G. W. is playing the tough guy role and showing the world just how mighty the U.S. really is. The NY Post did its job well for the Zionists.
Final analysis... the neverending war consists of one lie built upon the other. A house of lies. Keep asking: WHO WANTS THIS WAR? WHY DO THEY WANT IT?
-- Jackie --
NEW YORK POST, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1998
By: Ray Kerrison
Bill's tough-guy act with Saddam is a big charade
Weapons prober who quit team exposes latest lie
President Clinton is engaged in the biggest appeasement folly since Neville Chamberlain brandished his peace paper in Munich in 1938.
The president, while assuring Americans of an unwavering commitment to strip Saddam Hussein of all weapons of mass destruction, is giving the Iraqi dictator a free pass to build them and hide them from world inspection.
That is the alarming allegation of Scott Ritter, a 37-year-old former Marine and longest-serving American weapons inspector in Iraq, who suddenly quit last week in protest against the sell-out.
The administration strongly denies Ritter's charges, but you can go to the bank on Ritter because he can cite dates, times, places and names in a pattern of Clinton obstruction to weapons inspections.
Not only that, Ritter's reputation is so solid in the community, it is beyond reproach. Congressional leaders found his charges so 'credible, specific and substantial' that they plan to start hearings next week.
Consider what's at stake here. If Ritter is correct, then the whole Iraqi weapons-inspection agreement forged with the United Nations is a charade, the American public has been deceived -- again -- by its president, and Iraq is on its way to amassing a stockpile of chemical and nuclear weapons with deadly consequences for peace in the Mideast.
The comparison with Chamberlain's tragedy is not misplaced or exaggerated.
Ritter told his story on ABC-TV's "This Week", and it is unserving.
He said that since April, the Clinton administration has placed 'considerable pressure' on the UN weapons-inspections teams and its supporters, like Britain, to hold off any inspections that might cause a confrontation with Iraq.
Ritter said:
"In July, we deployed a team of 45 inspectors to the country to uncover how Iraq hides these weapons. But the U.S. and the UK intervened and forced it to be canceled.
"In August, another team was ready to go, and once again, the U.S. through [Secretary of State] Madeline Albright and [National Security Adviser] Sandy Berger had it postponed for a number of days, then canceled outright.
"We have not had a serious inspection regime in a long time. We only have an illusion of arms control".
In short, the whole Iraqi exercise is a farce, perpetrated by a president who could not tell the people the truth if his life depended on it.
What the hell is going on in Iraq?
Ritter says Clinton is afraid of a confrontation with Iraq because of its ramifications. Under terms of the U.N.-Iraqi resolution, the United Nations has the right to use force if Iraq does not comply with open inspections.
Iraq has done nothing but obstruct. But instead of pressing ahead, the inspection force is backing up. Said Ritter, "All the military saber-rattling [against Iraq] was nothing but a bluff. It lacked the credible force to make Saddam flinch. Iraq has called the bluff".
This is a foreign-policy disaster -- plainly recognized by Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state, who told Fox News Sunday,
"We've walked up the hill and down the hill three times since last November, and we've maneuvered ourselves to the position where the threat of force is almost implausible.
"Saddam believes that the Clinton administration does not know how to pose sufficient threat to him".
In other words, in Iraq, the United States, the mightiest power on earth, is reduced to a paper tiger. Kissinger said he would support military action against Iraq only if "the administration could convince me that they are serious, that they would stick with it for as long as it takes".
He concluded dismally: "I have seen no evidence that they can do that, and so, under present circumstances, I don't think they should threaten something they are not willing to do".
What an indictment of this preident's foreign policy. He is as much a sham abroad as he is at home.
House Speaker Newt gingrich wrote a note to Clinton, in which he said, "If these [Ritter] reports are true, your administration's tough rhetoric on Iraq has been a deception, masking a real policy of weakness and concession".
Ritter, who was an intelligence officer in the Marines, pursued inspections agressively, which made the Nervous Nellies jumpy. He wanted to get into Saddam's office, but they thought that would be provacative.
Heaven forbid that ritter should find anything. Then the administration might be forced to act.
President Clinton and his administration are so lacking in credibility that anything theyt say is worth nothing. All the credibility is with Scott Ritter.
Under Clinton, this has again become a dangerous world, because the United States is pereived as weak, irresolute -- and a king-size bluffer.
USA TODAY September 3, 1998
IRAQ POLICY: Scott Ritter, the American who resigned as a U.N. weapons inspector to protest U.S. policy, goes before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today. Ritter accused U.S. officials of allowing Iraq to obstruct inspections designed to ferret out its weapons of mass destruction.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has dismissed Ritter's criticisms. "He doesn't have a clue about what our overall plan has been", she said.
Well, now we have a clue, haven't we?
Here's what the people are being told today. They think we've ALL lost our memories.
From YahooNews
"The oil-for-food programme, put in place in December 1996, enables Iraq to sell unlimited amounts of crude oil under supervision to pay for imports of goods approved by the United Nations. But none of the revenue goes to Iraq."
Thursday November 29, 2001
Security Council vote will open way to Iraqi sanctions reform
The Security Council is to adopt a resolution to open the way for Iraqi sanctions reform in six months and a possible return of UN arms inspectors to that country.
The text, which has the support of the five permanent council members, will extend the UN's much maligned oil-for-food programme into what may be its final 180-day phase, starting at midnight Friday (0500 GMT Saturday).
It will commit the council to reforms leading to the end of the 11-year-old embargo on civilian trade with Iraq and thus making the programme redundant.
The resolution displays a unity that had been absent from council deliberations on Iraq for several years.
Agreement was reached on Tuesday when Russia agreed that the UN should tighten efforts to prevent Iraq illegally acquiring arms, by means of a detailed list banning imports of items with a military potential.
The resolution says the review list and the procedures for using it will enter effect on June 1 next year "subject to any refinements to them agreed by the council in the light of further consultations".
One diplomat predicted "line by line" wrangling over what items should be barred, but said there was no doubt the list would come into being and that when it did, Iraq would be allowed to freely import anything not prohibited.
In return for Russia's willingness to compromise, the United States agreed to wording that states the council's commitment to a "comprehensive settlement" of the Iraq problem "including any clarification necessary for the implementation of Resolution 1284".
Adopted two years ago, Resolution 1284 offered Iraq the possibility of having sanctions suspended if it cooperated fully with the new UN arms commission set up to verify that it had complied with the council's demand that it eliminate its weapons of mass destruction.
There have been no inspections since December 1998, when the previous inspectors were withdrawn from Iraq on the eve of a bombing campaign by US and British warplanes.
Iraq has consistently rejected Resolution 1284, which was passed by one of the narrowest council margins. Three of the five permanent members -- France, Russia and China -- abstained, arguing that the resolution failed to answer three of Iraq's concerns.
It did not specify what disarmament tasks Iraq was still expected to complete; it did not give a time frame for suspending sanctions; and most seriously, it did not say what financial arrangements would come into being while sanctions were suspended but not yet removed.
The oil-for-food programme, put in place in December 1996, enables Iraq to sell unlimited amounts of crude oil under supervision to pay for imports of goods approved by the United Nations. But none of the revenue goes to Iraq.
Instead, it goes into an escrow account, from which 25 percent is removed to compensate Kuwait for damages caused by Iraq's August 1990 invasion, and three percent is taken to cover the administrative costs of the programme and to finance the arms inspection unit.
A leading council member said that if the council could remove the ambiguities in Resolution 1284, it would probably ask UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to visit Baghdad to persuade Iraq to let the arms inspections resume.
Asked what the council would do if Iraq's President Saddam Hussein continued to refuse, the diplomat noted the implicit threat of military action in the curt reply given on Tuesday to the same question by US President George W. Bush: "He'll find out."
Cracks began to appear in the international anti-terrorism coalition, as Bush's partners reacted with unease to the heavy hints that Washington was set to add Iraq to its list of military targets.
Britain, Bush's staunchest backer in the anti-terrorism campaign in Afghanistan, said it had no evidence linking Iraq to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, while other key allies France and Germany came out outright to say that attacks on other countries were not necessary.
Arab countries, which have also provided crucial support to Bush during his campaign in Afghanistan, have warned an extension to Iraq or any other Arab state would doom their cooperation with the United States in its war against terrorism.
Bush warned this week that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, a sworn enemy of Washington since the 1991 Gulf War, must allow UN arms inspectors back in Iraq to prove he is not developing weapons of mass destruction.
Asked what consequences a refusal would bring, the US leader curtly replied: "He'll find out" -- a cryptic reply that fuelled speculation that the regime in Baghdad might be next on Washington's list of targets, in a campaign launched in riposte to the September 11 attacks on the United States.
French Defence Minister Alain Richard, speaking in Sofia, said military attacks on Iraq or other countries were not necessary after the campaign in Afghanistan.
"There is no other nation whose leaders have been active accomplices of terrorist actions," he said. "So we do not believe that it is today necessary to take military action against other sites."
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder also warned against taking the war on terrorism to countries beyond Afghanistan.
Schroeder told parliament it was essential to maintain the international coalition against terrorism and called for restraint in the debate on the future of the military campaign.

Q: upload employee image into SQL database along with other info with insert query I am having problem with uploading my employee photo to database with c#. I have an employee entry screen form. On that form there is various info about employee like (name, address,salary,joining date, birth date, image, mobile no etc).
my insert query is working very well without the image. here is my code sample.
 query = "insert into tbl_emp values('" + txtempid.Text + "','" + txtempname.Text + "','"+ cmbSex.Text +"','"
                + cmbDepartment.Text +"','" + cmbEmpDesig.Text + "','" + cmbemptyp.Text + "','"
                + txtsalary.Text + "','"+ txtParmanentAdd.Text +"','"+ txtPresentAdd.Text +"','"
                + txtContactNo.Text +"','"+ txtEmailAdd.Text +"','"+ dateBirth.Text +"','"
                + dateJoin.Text + "','"+ txtCardNo.Text +"')";
           con.executeCmd_Sql(query);

Please suggest me how to insert image along with these other info. Thanks in advance :)

A: (assuming you are using ASP.NET webforms)
.aspx:
 <asp:Image runat="server" ID="img" ImageUrl="~/Chrysanthemum.jpg" />

codebehind (.cs):
 string pic = img.ImageUrl;

It is not really a best practice to save actual pictures (like binary data) into a database. That's why you would usually just take the path to the picture (like "~/mypicture.jpg") and save that as a string in your database. So basically, all you have to do is pass in the string pic in your query.
Unrelated: but your query is very open to SQL injection. i would advise you to read this link

A: Inserting images are easy. You just need to convert the image into a byte array. Look at this code fragment sample:
private void updatedata()
{

    //use filestream object to read the image.

    //read to the full length of image to a byte array.

    //add this byte as an oracle parameter and insert it into database.

    try
    {

        //proceed only when the image has a valid path

        if (imagename != "")
        {

            FileStream fs;

            fs = new FileStream(@imagename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

            //a byte array to read the image

            byte[] picbyte = new byte[fs.Length];

            fs.Read(picbyte, 0, System.Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));

            fs.Close();

            //open the database using odp.net and insert the data

            string connstr = @"Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=TestImage;
            Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa";

            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connstr);

            conn.Open();

            string query;

            query = "insert into test_table(id_image,pic) values(" +
            textBox1.Text + "," + " @pic)";

            SqlParameter picparameter = new SqlParameter();

            picparameter.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Image;

            picparameter.ParameterName = "pic";

            picparameter.Value = picbyte;

            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);

            cmd.Parameters.Add(picparameter);

            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

            MessageBox.Show("Image Added");

            cmd.Dispose();

            conn.Close();

            conn.Dispose();

            Connection();

        }

    }

    catch (Exception ex)
    {

        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

    }

}
