The Case of Refugees
Ghana should not be dictated to concerning the rufugees from Liberia. Refugees are not taken in permanently. Ghana took them in when their country was at war with herself. Now reasoning has prevailed and the country is virtually at peace, it is therefore imperative for them to be repatriated to their home country to help in the reconstruction.
It would not be in the interest of the country to integrate them into the Ghanaian soceity as some advocate groups suggest. There is much evidence to suggest that the presence of refugees and nationals of questionable character from countries far and near have brought about escalation of vices in the Ghanaian soceity to an almost unbearable proportion. The refugees in question have, in the past, carried out some serious infractions and altercations with the police and the general population. Even as refugees they are able to sell parcels of land. How they came by those parcels of land is incredible. Only in Ghana, the ugly effect of corruption and uncontrollable greed. As refugees they are able to sell parcels of land. What will happen when they become fully integrated into the soceity? The country as a whole will go on the auction block. To integrate so many refugees into the Ghanaian soceity will be detrimental to the state. The country is bursting at the seams with the current rate of population growth.
It would be unfair and discriminatory for UNHRC to insist that Ghana continues to accommodate the refugees. Countries who take in refugees send them back once there is peace in their respective countries, and no danger to them. Ghana has given refuge to these refugees for so many years. The country should not be compelled to continue to do so. Ghana has played her part in an immense humanitarian way. Ghana did not turn her back when a sister Afrcan country was in trouble and in dire need.
The leaders of the country do not seem to take the future of posterity into perspective. Mind you, among the refugees are former combatants who have committed atrocities against their own people. However, Ghana overlooked the danger and took them in, and now it is time to let them go in an atmosphere of friendship. Even the leaders of Liberia want their citizens back to integrate them in the new soceity and let them live together as one people. No matter what, they understand each other better. Some 'holier than thou' Ghanaians are making it seems as as if it is the most cruel thing to do to send the people back to help build their own country. Why voluntary repatriation? There should be repatriation.
The UNHRC should take the burden off Ghana so that in the future (may it not come to pass) when the need arises, the country will be able and willing to take up the challenge again.

I recently purchased a tool to help me convert my families old home videos to dvd. Wow, what a long process! I work with videos constantly and am editing a lot, but this should make many tasks easier on me to complete.
The tool that I purchased is a WinTV PVR USB2. I got a really good deal on it though. eBay is definitely worth looking at before you buy, haha.

El Ringtheater fue un teatro en Schottenring 7 en el primer distrito vienés, en el centro de la ciudad, que fue destruido en 1881 por un gran incendio (incendio del Ringtheater). Hoy ocupa su lugar la Dirección de Policía del Estado de Viena.

Historia
En octubre de 1872, un consorcio de tres personas obtuvo por resolución imperial la concesión de un "nuevo teatro estable en el Schottenring, frente a la Bolsa, con el nombre de Ópera Cómica (en alemán: 'Komische Oper''') para representaciones teatrales de todo tipo y ballet". Se fundó una sociedad anónima para reunir el capital de construcción y explotación. La planificación y construcción se le encargó a Emil von Förster. Dado que sólo disponía de un terreno relativamente pequeño y el teatro debía albergar a 1.700 personas, buscó una expansión del espacio a lo alto, consiguiéndolo mediante una intrincada disposición de vestíbulos, pasillos y escaleras. La Komische Oper, que debía representar óperas "ligeras" como contrapunto a la Ópera de la Corte (en alemán Hofoper), se inauguró el 17 de enero de 1874 bajo la dirección de Albin Swoboda con El barbero de Sevilla de Rossini.

Inicialmente, la sociedad anónima a la que se había transferido la concesión gestionaba el negocio por su propia cuenta. Albin Swoboda, que había sido contratado por la sociedad anónima como director artístico, renunció a la dirección el 9 de marzo de 1874. Posteriormente, los directores se sucedieron una y otra vez. Ninguno de ellos consiguió llevar el teatro al éxito y hasta llegó estar temporalmente cerrado. Incluso el exitoso director del Theater an der Wien, Friedrich Strampfer, fue incapaz de mantenerse a flote durante más de tres años, aunque rebautizó el teatro como Ringtheater y amplió el repertorio para incluir obras habladas, ópera alemana e italiana y vodevil. Además de las dificultades financieras, siempre hubo problemas técnicos, como durante los ensayos de "Los siete cuervos" (en alemán: "Sieben Raben").

El 1 de junio de 1881 Franz Jauner alquiló el teatro. Las esperanzas de que la compañía floreciera finalmente bajo su dirección teatral se vieron frustradas por la devastadora catástrofe del incendio del Ringtheater, el 8 de diciembre de 1881.

Failing my Salesforce certification was the first step towards landing me a job and it helped me increase my time towards Salesforce.
As we know, certifications are the career booster in the Salesforce ecosystem, and I was not able to boost my career with it for some period of time.
And yeah I was unable to achieve the certification in one attempt. Thats the time where you would face different idea's and you would also get demotivated!
Different ideas would strike your mind. That was the time when I was literally confused. Are my basics not clear? What else can be the problem?
Did I appear in my exam too soon?
Is my Salesforce knowledge lacking?
Is Salesforce the thing I wanna make my career in?
Don't let your thoughts overcome your aims and goals. That's the thing, you can achieve if you are motivated towards it. The best support at that time is just you.
I still remember it was becoming like a challenge and I surfed more then 20 websites studying flashcards and quizzes. I explored SFDC99 and trust me the explanation about triggers are amazing and I still look for syntax like always. But it also helped a lot in learning new features of Salesforce.
And then everything just changed.
I updated my profile on the job portal and after a day I got a call from a company. They were new ISV partners and I was asked some scenarios and I made them believe I knew Salesforce and we can do some better things together.
Certifications matter but the thing that matters most is practical knowledge.
After studying for three months, I again gave a try and cleared my Salesforce certification. If I was certified earlier, I might not have made the time to grab vast Salesforce knowledge, and I might not have a job.
Everything has a positive and negative side but it depends on how you can make the negative to positive.
So in my opinion, give amazing amounts of time to Salesforce and Salesforce will give you a certification to step up in your life.
Now I hold 3 certifications and 100 Trailhead badges and I'm the leader of a Salesforce developer group in Chandigarh.
That's what happened with me!
I am Paarth Jolly, a 21 year old guy with a bag of dreams to consummate and face the world.
I am a Salesforce Developer/Consultant/Geek/Evangelist, loving & living Salesforce since 2015 and also a student.
I was on a Summer internship for three months and then was switched to a full-time Salesforce Developer in Bizight Technologies.
After that I got a chance to work with Manras Technologies which is a Salesforce Development company in Chandigarh, India.
Now I work as a Freelance Salesforce consultant and currently working with various clients all over the globe.
First thing I read this morning. Amazing and congrats!
I'm looking forward to meet you in person.
are u still looking and willing to move to pune?


Edin Dzeko had his home burgled while he was playing away with Roma on Wednesday.
The striker scored two goals in his side's 3-1 win over Sassuolo in Serie A while robbers allegedly targeted his home.
According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Dzeko's wife and children were inside as burglars entered the property.
The report claims the robbers got away with around €500 and also a couple of lucrative designer bags as Dzeko's wife rang police after hearing a noise.
It is understood that police are still investigating the case.
Radja Nainggolan, Gervinho, Jeremy Menez, Juan and Seydou Doumbia are other Roma players understood to have fallen victim to robbers while on the Giallorossi's books.

I have an AWS EC2 instance, running Amazon Linux, that has two Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) attached: eth0 and eth1. I am connecting to the public IP on eth0. Everything works great, except I would like to route unencrypted traffic out of the eth1. i.e. Client connects to eth0 to setup an encrypted VPN tunnel, then his/her unencrypted internet traffic is routed in/out of eth1 and back across the tunnel on eth0.
I don't know enough about iptables to get this config working, despite trying for several hours. I'm hoping this is a simple one?
You need to setup routing, your rules look ok but you need to change the MASQ rule.
I would also suggest some simpler rules for your originating packets.
Now as for the routing I assume you only want the OpenVPN clients to exit via eth1 and not the server it self that I presume has it's default route via eth0. We need to create a new routing table for your OpenVPN clients, we will call it ovpn-inet.
Edit /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, insert the following at the end and save.
Then create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1 with the following content, replacing <gw on eth1> and other attributes within <>.
A suggestion would also be to switch OpenVPN to UDP for the sake of performance. This would also allow you to run a HTTPS server if you ever need it over TCP. Also consider using a tls-crypt in your OpenVPN server config as a simple way of doing a little hardening on your installation.
Now restart your networking to make the changes in effect.

Szoboszlai transfer news: Leipzig frontrunner over Arsenal, Milan; here's what to expect from Salzburg winger
It appears as if 20-year-old Dominik Szoboszlai will follow the Red Bull pipeline from Salzburg to Leipzig
By Mike Goodman
Dec 11, 2020 at 1:38 pm ET 3 min read
Dominik Szoboszlai looks like he's on the move. The big Hungarian attacker is only 20, but he's already drawing the interest of some of Europe's biggest clubs. And while both Arsenal and AC Milan have shown interest, CBS Sports Soccer Insider Fabrizio Romano reports that the outline of a deal has been in place for Szoboszlai to walk the well traversed Red Bull road from Salzburg to Leipzig since November, an agreement which could be finalized and announced before Christmas and the start of the winter transfer window.
What kind of player will Leipzig be getting? It's notoriously hard to predict how a young striker, even a tremendously successful one will adapt when moving from a smaller league, to a higher level of competition. Luckily, Szoboszlai has played enough minutes on the European stage over the last couple of seasons to at least give the world a feel for what he can do against more well regarded opponents. Between the Champions League and Europa League over the last two seasons, Szoboszlai has played 1,300 minutes, more than enough to get a feel for what he does well, and which areas of his game he still needs to improve on.
The first thing to understand is that he's not a pure striker. He's not really a striker at all. Szoboszlai plays mostly on the left wing. Salzburg play an extremely high tempo attacking style and press teams aggressively when they lose the ball, which means he spends a lot of time in the attack third of the pitch, but he's always playing with at least one, and often times two, attackers in front of him.
That said, his attacking output is extremely high for a winger, especially a young one. His expected goals, the number of goals he'd be expected to score on average given the shots he's taking, per 90 minutes is 0.31 over his last two seasons of European play combined. That number would rank 26th in the Bundesliga (among players who have played at least 500 minutes), and ahead of wingers like Serge Gnabry of Bayern Munich and Leipzig's own Christopher Nkunku.
And the kinds of shots he takes are very encouraging too. While Szoboszlai is a typical inverted winger in that he's right footed and plays on the left, he doesn't fall into the trap that many young inverted wingers do of relying on cutting inside onto his stronger foot and letting fly from distance. Those shots are typically fairly low value, and while it's possible to rely on them against lesser competition, top level defenses are extremely proficient at defending those kinds of attempts. Szoboszlai's xG per shot in Europe, however, has been 0.13, a number that a striker who spends all their time in the box would be happy with, let alone a winger who is usually faced with more challenging shooting situations. Rather than letting it fly from distance, he's quite skilled at finding ways to get into the box to find high quality looks, and 45.7% of his shots in Europe have come in the box.
Szoboszlai's creative game tells a similar story. His passes in Europe over the past couple of seasons amount to 0.18 expected assists per 90 minutes which would put him 24th in the Bundesliga (again among players with at least 500 minutes). He crosses the ball a lot, which isn't surprising for a wide attacking player. He played 5.93 crosses per 90 minutes in Europe, which would be the eighth-most in the Bundesliga, although still behind his possible future teammate Nkunku, and just ahead of Leipzig's left wing back Angelino. Although here it's worth noting that he is an inverse winger who has played at Salzburg on the left, he is quite different in style than those two left footed players who are currently mainstays on that side of the pitch at Leipzig.
Put all those numbers together and they make a very good player, but one who is not yet a superstar. If Szoboszlai can translate his European performances into the same level of production for a new club, he will immediately slot in as a competent starter for them. But, what's really exciting is that being a competent starter at age 20 suggests a player with enough ability to become one of the world's best by age 22 or 23. If he does in fact lace up his boots for Leizpig starting in January, the team will have yet another attacking midfielder to build around as the seek to challenge Bayern Munich not only at the top of the Bundesliga table, but in the latter stages of the Champions League as well.

Avocado salsa, is a different and delicious way of making a dip/appetiser. On day 28 of 30 days 30 salads series, I made avocado salsa, a less tangier but equally delicious variation of this tomato and plum salsa and mango salsa. I have added few wedges of sweet lime (mausambi),which adds citrusy sweetness to the salad. A part of my avocado was extremely ripe, so I carefully removed it and used to make this Guacamol. I had earlier used guacamol as a dressing for green salad. Check out the recipe for green salad here. A simple salad/dip/appetiser, this avocado salad is a super healthy mini meal in itself.
So , here's a simple recipe for Avocado and Sweetlime salsa.
Add all the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Mix well.
Prepare dressing in a seperate bowl by mixing salt, chilli flakes, garlic into the leom juice.
Pour the juice over the veegtables, toss and mix well.
Serve as a salad, appetizer or as dip .
Remove the pulp of avocado, blend it along with other ingredients in a blender jar, use as dressing. You can also keep few pieces of avocado aside, if you want the dressing to be bit chunky.


Homes Not Bombs won a significant legal victory in Ottawa on 7 November 2000 when 38 people charged with criminal mischief and obstruct police were acquitted of charges laid at the Nov. 1999 action to transform the War Dept. into the Housing Dept. On that day, 54 people were arrested, with various charges dropped or diverted from the courts in the following year.
The demonstration had been organized to address the crisis of homelessness and to link that crisis with outrageously high military spending in Canada. Relying on a series of court decisions in which many of the activists had been involved (including the planting of a garden at Queen's Park, the creation of a greed-free zone at King and Bay streets in downtown Toronto, and blocking Mike Harris's campaign bus in Guelph, all of which resulted in acquittals from criminal charges), Homes Not Bombs secured a judicial decision which provides a blueprint for non-violent resistance which cannot be criminalized.
Following a day of powerful testimony about the effects of poverty and the need to halt military spending in Canada, during which no objections were heard from Judge J.A. Fontana, the defendants argued that the three-hour occupation of the Mackenzie Bridge outside the War Dept. was well within the limits of tolerance within a democratic society. Judge Fontana agreed, calling the demonstration "particularly unique" and noting it was well organized, well advertised in advance of the day, was symbolic (employing the creation of a civil society outside the War Dept.) and was non-violent, causing no damage. Quoting the greed-free zone case, in which Justice Hogan asked, "Were the actions of the demonstrators within the limits of tolerance in a democratic society, or did they cross into the realm of criminal wrongdoing?" Fontana concluded "that really is what it is all about, and I am sure that is the test that will be with us for some time."
The Crown, Nathalie Coté, noted that each prior judicial decision presented involved defendants before the court that day, and that the Homes Not Bombs demonstration marked another event in a dangerous progression which saw the number of participants growing. Defendants countered that this was in fact a positive progression, as the numbers were growing, their effect was stronger, and they continued to be nonviolent. "When you can put 200 people together to form a community where they sleep on a church floor together, cook meals together and feed one another, and participate in a stressful situation using complete nonviolence, that is indeed a progression, so we take that as a compliment," one noted.
Coté also attempted to infer that the demonstration was anti-veteran, occurring as it did the day after Remembrance Day, but defendants pointed out that they were also there to demonstrate for proper veterans' benefits, especially with respect to depleted uranium exposure.
In summing up, defendant mandy hiscocks of Guelph noted "we've submitted case law which argues that the criminal code should not be used to stifle such expression, and that the charter of rights and freedoms protects our right to participate in political decision-making in this way. As members of the world community, our responsibility to uphold international law when our government refuses to do so demands that we engage in this kind of activity.
"Ms. Coté has stressed that it is the balancing of these rights with their effects on others that must be considered here. I agree. War and homelessness kill and irreparably damage people, animals and the environment, and rerouting traffic causes minor delays and frustration. I submit that the balance is in our favour."
My motivations for participating in this action, are both local and international, strategic and spiritual. I have witnessed families living without food, clothing and shelter because of war and because of economic policy. I have worked for human rights in Sri Lanka, where one of the world's most devastating armed conflicts has killed more than 100,000 people and left more than half a million people homeless. The current government of Canada has supplied the Sri Lankan government with Bell military helicopters that are armed with rocket launchers and machine guns, and are used to destroy entire villages and kill all of their inhabitants. Anyone who survives these attacks is forced to live in the open, without shelter, and struggle to survive both violence and rampant disease.
Civil turmoil is transformed into violent conflict in countries such as Sri Lanka, specifically because rich nations like Canada are more than willing to manufacture and sell arms to both state and non-state actors which are in the business of oppressing their own people. I do not agree with this policy, as I know many other Canadians do not either. I do not believe that my government should participate in the armed invasion of a country such as Yugoslavia either, especially when a peaceful resolution to that conflict was very possible. I condemn the fact that my government has never bothered to ask Canadians whether or not they approve of their country participating in violent attacks, war preparation and arms manufacturing. Democracy is not working in this country, and we all have a deep responsibility to find intelligent and non-violent methods to ensure that our government starts listening to its constituents.
Under international law to which Canada is a signatory, it is a crime to supply nations with weapons that are knowingly deployed against unarmed civilians. It was indeed a crime under the United Nations to participate in the invasion of Yugoslavia. But it is also a crime for such a rich nation as Canada to deny people fair and affordable access to housing. Indeed, the United Nations has continuously cited the fact that Canada is in violation of this fundamental covenant. It is nothing less than shameful that Canada is the only industrialized nation in the world without a national housing policy. People are dying on the streets of this country &endash; not from their own liability, but because there are not nearly enough affordable housing units in most Canadian towns and cities. While many people demand that something must be done to remedy this national disaster, the government is not listening. Something must be done to let the government know that this is an extremely important issue to Canadians, and that "something" is most effective when it is exercised with compassion, thoughtfulness, respect and non-violence.
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King adopted non-violence as both a strategic and spiritual method of resisting and transforming forces of injustice. Hundreds of thousands of women, men and children followed their lead and participated in countless sit-ins, freedom rides and satyagrahas. Each and every one of those courageous individuals struggled non-violently and collectively, certain that the sources of oppression in society were not their "enemies," but rather adversaries who could be transformed through love and respect. I am strongly motivated by this ideal ñ to recognize the forces of injustice and to transform those forces with respect, intelligence and perseverance. I am by no means "angry" with the individuals who compose the police and the judiciary. Rather, I simply desire that you recognize the duty and responsibility with which we come before you ñ to try our very best to change the sources of injustice and to build a better society based on love and respect for all human beings.
Just like Gandhi saw the end of colonial rule in India through non-violence, just like King witnessed the dawn of civil rights in America through non-violence, we too have experienced practical results from our commitment to non-violence. The Prime Minister of Canada, who was in Africa on November 10th last year, was asked some poignant questions by world leaders that day ñ Why are there so many people without food and shelter in such a rich country? Why are these peaceful protesters being put in jail? Mr. Chretien was pressured by our act of commitment and respect to defend his policies concerning housing and homelessness, or rather his lack of policy thereof. Though there has since been virtually no shift in the government's refusal to build affordable public housing for Canadians, it is clear that our actions have helped to raise this issue in political circles and around kitchen tables, across the country and around the world. Public awareness and discourse is a fundamental first step to ending injustice and building respect under any situation. And so, my friends, the struggle carries on.
In closing, I am motivated by my brothers and sisters who go without food and shelter across this country. I am motivated by my friends who fight with words rather than the sword, while living in war zones where Canadian gunships fly over head. I am motivated by the memory of Gandhi, King and Rosa Parks, who chose to stand up and sit down for justice, who walked calmly into the valley of tyranny and rose high on the peak of humanity. And finally, I am motivated by all my sisters and brothers, in this court room today and around the world, who challenge injustice with truth&endash;who stand up to aggression with non-violence&endash;who transform oppression with dignity.


The former Oasis frontman says "nobody will make enough money" to be a true star.
Noel Gallagher has rung the death knell on a particular kind of endangered species: the global rock star.
In a new interview in the U.K.'s Sunday Express, the rambunctious former Oasis member bemoans an industry "changed beyond all recognition."
"Rock stardom will die," Gallagher predicts, "because nobody with make enough money anymore to be rock stars."
"Everybody will be jobbing musicians," Gallagher continues. "It's unbelievable. ... The music business we signed in to does not exist anymore.
The singer/guitarist, who now fronts solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, points to acts that came to prominence in the 1980s -- names like Guns n' Roses and Michael Jackson, who earned huge advances for their records -- as being the last true rock stars.
"There was a way of making money and selling records that got happened upon in the 1960s, and it worked for 30-odd years," Gallagher says. "Then all of a sudden, in under a decade, it's gone, never to return."

Vatican releases financial figures, promises transparency
Philip Pullella | Posted: Oct. 1, 2020, 11:36 a.m. | Updated: Oct. 1, 2020, 1:13 p.m. | 3 Min Read
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican released its most detailed-ever financial figures on Thursday, acknowledging it might have been swindled before but promising the faithful who have been shocked by money scandals that it would become like a "glass house" in its transparency.
The Vatican economy minister, Father Juan Antonio Guerrero, said the Vatican's total net assets in 2019 were about 4 billion euros, which is believed to be the first time any such figure has been given.
He spoke in an interview with Vatican media as a 12-page consolidated financial statement was released for the Holy See, the central administration of the Roman Catholic Church.
The statement, the first since 2016, includes figures on about 70 departments that oversee the governing of the 1.3 billion-member worldwide Church, its media operations and its embassies abroad.
It does not include the Vatican bank and the Vatican museums, which are both big money-makers.
The 4.0 billion euro figure, which Guerrero gave in the interview without providing details, is all-encompassing, while the detailed consolidated statement regarded only the Holy See.
The Holy See had a deficit of 22 million euros in 2019 after extraordinary expenses, down from a 50 million euro deficit in 2018. The deficit is expected to grow this year because the coronavirus pandemic has drained income, particularly from the museums.
LUXURY LONDON BUILDING
The Vatican has been caught up in a scandal involving the purchase by its Secretariat of State of a luxury building in London through various players it has accused of being unscrupulous.
One of the key figures involved in the London deal, Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu, until 2018 the number two in the Secretariat of State, was fired by Pope Francis last week under separate accusations of embezzlement and nepotism. Becciu, 72, denies all wrongdoing.
"It is possible that in some cases, the Holy See, apart from being badly advised, was also swindled," Guerrero said.
In June, Vatican police arrested Gianluigi Torzi, an Italian middleman who was part of the London property deal, and charged him with extortion, embezzlement, aggravated fraud and money laundering. Torzi, who denies wrongdoing, was later released provisionally. Five Vatican employees lost their jobs last year over the deal and are still under investigation.
Guerrero said Peter's Pence, money from direct contributions from the faithful to the pope, was not used to cover losses from the London deal. He did not say if the fund was used for the original purchase in 2014.
"The economy of the Holy See has to be a glass house. The faithful have a right to know how we use resources," he said.
He said the Vatican was centralising all investment decisions under one department.
The Secretariat of State used its funds to buy the London building, which would not be possible after centralisation.
Guerrero was named last year to succeed Australian Cardinal George Pell, who returned to Rome on Wednesday. Pell was cleared of sexual abuse charges in Australia after spending 13 months in prison. It was not clear if he will resume any Vatican role.
Pell had accused Beccui of blocking Vatican financial reforms and after Becciu was fired, Pell said the pope "is to be thanked and congratulated".

Hasbro recently came out with these new express versions of Monopoly, Scrabble, and Sorry and if you check out the link, they've got online versions that you can playtest. The whole gimmick is they're new versions of the games that only take 20 minutes to play. Sorry is by far the most disappointing given that it no longer in any way resembles Sorry. To be fair, I guess that Monopoly isn't much like Monopoly, but that ends up being my favorite of the lot, maybe because it has a similar dice rolling/risk mechanic as Cloud 9. I was unsure about how I felt about Scrabble, but the most interesting thing I discovered was that if you made a word that added to an opponent's word (say, made his "CAR" "CARS" by spelling "SMACK" on the last letter), you leave his dice stranded on the table and give him less to work with. Anyhow, try it for yourself.

China Using Cambodia's Naval Base in Koh Kong
sorsdaytoday
Cambodia's prime minister has denounced as "fake news" a report in The Wall Street Journal that his country had signed a secret deal to allow Chinese warships to use a naval base in the Gulf of Thailand.
"This is the worst-ever made up news against Cambodia," Hun Sen told the country's pro-government Fresh News on Monday, according to The South China Morning Post.
"No such thing could happen because hosting foreign military bases is against the Cambodian constitution," the prime minister said.
Hun Sen's remarks follow a report published in the Journal on Sunday that cites unnamed U.S. officials confirming that China and Cambodia had reached a deal essentially leasing part of the Ream naval base near Sihanoukville.
Last month, China also denied that it was seeking access to Ream, with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe, who was speaking during a defense summit in Singapore, saying there was "no such thing."
Earlier this month, the State Department issued a statement urging Cambodia to honor its "constitutional commitment to its people to pursue an independent foreign policy."
"We are concerned that any steps by the Cambodian government to invite a foreign military presence in Cambodia would threaten the coherence and centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in coordinating regional developments, and disturb peace and stability in Southeast Asia," the statement said, according to Reuters.
China and Cambodia enjoy close relations, and Beijing has backed a $3.5 billion investment zone, including a port and luxury resort that encompasses one-fifth of Cambodia's coastline. A Chinese company has an exclusive 99-year lease on the project.
The Journal reported that China planned to build two new piers at Ream, one for Cambodia and the other for China's use.
Getting access to the port could help China expand its already growing influence over the waters of Southeast Asia and especially the South China Sea, where it has numerous disputed claims with its maritime neighbors.
"If you have a naval base in Cambodia it means the Chinese navy has a more favorable operational environment in the waters surrounding Southeast Asia," Charles Edel, a former State Department official who is now a senior fellow at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, was quoted by The South China Morning Post as saying.
"You have all of a sudden mainland Southeast Asia potentially sitting behind a defensive Chinese military perimeter. This is by far the biggest implication and one that would likely have political effects," he said.

There seems to be two schools of thought regarding golf's future: doom and gloom, and sunshine and rainbows.
Number of golfers who played for the first time in 2016: 2.5 million, up from 1.5 million in 2011. More potential good news? The number of "latent golfers," non-golfers interested in playing golf, doubled from 6.4 million to 12.8 million.
Amount spent on new golf course construction: $210 million. That's down from $516 million in 2011 and WAY down from a high of $5.6 billion in 2000.

Healthy Skepticism: A Conversation with Drs. Gale Sinatra and Barbara Hofer
Home Content Sacred Science Healthy Skepticism:…
Barbara Hofer, PhD, Gale Sinatra PhD
On two of the major issues facing us as a society today – COVID-19 and climate change – denialism is a very strong force holding us back. Science denialists are often stereotyped as willfully ignorant, closing their ears to what they don't want to hear. But internet commentator culture has borne a new type of skeptic who seems, on the surface, to be actively engaged in their own learning. This "engagement," however, may be urged by a specific media personage, and often results in a chronic questioning that skirts reality.
How do we maintain a questioning, but informed and safe, society? Drs. Gale Sinatra and Barbara Hofer have become a leading voice in this space. They are are the co-authors of the book Science Denial: Why It Happens and What to Do About It. Professor Hofer is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at Middlebury College and a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and Professor Sinatra is the Stephen H. Crocker Chair and Professor of Psychology and Education at the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.

Alder Brook, 1913 USGS mapAlder Brook is a hamlet one and a half miles west of Union Falls and four miles east of New York Route 3.
Alder Brook experienced an influx of Irish settlers during 1848 and 1849 that was due to the Great Potato Famine of 1845 in Ireland when, from 1842-1864, some 1,600,000 emigrated to the U.S.A. During that same period, the S. & S. Rogers Company needed workers to cut timber, burn charcoal and work the forges. Like most ethnic groups the Irish chose to congregate among themselves and the early settlers, at Alder Brook bore such names as Ryan, O'Neal, Gleason, Dillon, Collins, Quirk, Tourney, McKillip, Keese, Doyle and McNamara.
Saranac Lake (Special.)—Faced by a dwindling parish and the knowledge that the district must be repeopled if his church is to survive, Rev. Richard O'Donnell, pastor of Rose of Lima, today made an offer the Roman Catholic church of St. [sic] unique in church annals—he offers free land to those who will become homesteaders.
More than fifty years ago the church occupied a commanding position in the section of which it was the center. When Saranac Lake was in its infancy and most of the surrounding towns consisted of nothing but a collection of homesteads, it served as the center from which radiated the various efforts of religious endeavor. From its portals missionaries were sent throughout the locality, while the pastor in charge had supervision of several widely scattered improvised church[es] in which services were conducted for the mountaineers and hardy lumberjacks.
Now the situation has changed. Things at Alder Brook remained the same, while other communities drew strangers. Almost before the people were aware of it, they found themselves cut off from the main highways of traffic, with the result that their prosperity began to wane. The State took over some of the best land and a great portion of what was left of the forests.
Large commercial concerns, with varied interests, little by little acquired title to farm lands, whose owners were glad of the opportunity to sell. Stagnation was the result, and the little community which had given such promise at its formation, lost its vigor.
"Politics have done more to injure the community than any one living outside can realize," Father O'Donnell explained. "We have been and now are fighting complete obliteration. For years, I have been striving to have the roads passing through the valley improved by the state."
Aware of the fact that prosperity has come, but continued on its way without the slightest bitterness.
It is the divine decree, he avers, that the best years of his life have been spent in striving to attain an as ever. [sic] Must he has not given up end which seems as far distant now hope. [sic] A younger man, he thinks, will take up the work where he has left off, and eventually will accomplish what he set out to do.
"Send us men," he exclaims repeatedly. "Men who ring true all the way through. Men who are farsighted enough to realize that there is a future of great promise if they cope successfully with the situation. Give us men and we will extract enough from the productive soil to make it more than a paying proposition.
"I own 310 acres of land in this vicinity. I am willing to parcel it out free to persons agreeing to homestead on it. I am in earnest. If anyone wants to emancipate himself from the sordidness of the city, and is willing to give this place a trial, I will undertake to do the rest."
There is a rich history of Irish Catholic culture in the North Country, originating from the pioneers that came over from Ireland in the early 1800s (most of whom came down through Canada) and settled in Alder Brook. The religious and social lives of those farm families, centered around the Saint Rose of Lima Parish when the first church was built there in 1854. It was built by the Rev. James Keveny of the parish Of Keeseville.
The Rev. Richard O'Donnell, who was born in Ballybacon, County Tipperary, Ireland in January 1862, was the first and only resident pastor to serve St. Rose. More about Father O'Donnell later.
The Laws and the Ryans were two of the big clans that settled there and had farms right across the road from each other. Now before I get into the early history and some of the other families, I have to relate two stories that were told to me first-hand.
The late Frank Ryan told me a story many years ago about him and the other young men who had to do the work on the parish farm back in the early 1940s. Frank said that one summer when they had finished the haying they got a corked and dusty bottle of whiskey out of the rectory cellar. They finished off most of it and since Father O'Donnell was away, they went into the kitchen of the rectory where there was always a pot of tea on the back of the stove (as was the case in most homes back then). They filled the whiskey bottle, corked it up and placed it back in its original spot in the cellar and even sprinkled it with dust. (Frank went into the Army Air Force, was a gunner on a B-24 Liberator Bomber and was shot down and taken prisoner by the Germans).
A few months later, as the story goes, Frank said Father O'Donnell invited pretty much the same bunch of guys to a farewell dinner as they were all going into the service. As they finished dinner, the good Father said, "Now that you lads are all going off to war I'd like to share a drink with you and toast your good health and safe return." He then proceeded to uncork a bottle and poured them all a hearty drink. Frank said, "We smacked our lips, cleared our throats and complimented him on the fine whiskey he served as we downed our glass of tea. They left a short time later and without a wink of a nod the old priest let them know that they would be puttin' nothin' over on him.
Now this next story comes to me from Emma Law Berghorn. It was common back then for many of those families to say the rosary every night ... a practice that started when there was not always a priest to say mass on Sunday so the faithful would gather at the church and "say the beads" together.
Now not only did the Laws and Ryans live across the road from each other, but they had about the same number of kids and in the same order — girl, boy, twins, girl, boy, etc. Others say that at supper time the man of the house would hardly know who was at the table because the kids would just sit down to eat in whichever house they were in. Emma named off all the Laws except for two girls that died in infancy ... Marie, James, Margaret, John, Ray, Charlie, Francis, Stevie and herself. She and Stevie were twins. The Ryans she could remember were Ed, Joe, Phil, John, Frankie, Katherine, Elizabeth and Mary. Joe and Katherine were twins. Joe married Claire Keese, moved to Rome and had 14 children.
Emma believed the Ryans also lost children in infancy. The mortality rate was high in those days, we lost our grand-mother Elizabeth McKillip Keegan and her infant daughter Marguerite at childbirth.
The Laws parents were James and Mary (McCaffery) Law. So one night they were all on their knees saying the beads when a knock comes at the door and it's Tim Howard (Pat Howard's father) looking to borrow a fiddle. (The Laws were all great musicians, they say Francis could play the fiddle when he was still in his crib). Mr. Law told Tim to kneel down and say the rosary and Tim tried to beg off, saying there was someone waiting in the car. But Mr. Law would hear none of it, and it takes more than a few minutes to say 50 Hail Marys along with the Our Fathers and the Holy Ghosts in between. Emma says she thinks Tim even tried to back out the door when he saw the rosary going on, probably thinking he'd be better off borrowing a fiddle somewhere else.
[…] Thanks to Emma and Ray Law for their help with this story; they are the only two surviving in that family. Other information was taken from a history of the parish written in 1977 by Joseph P. Hafford, a family friend who I knew quite well.
The history of Alder Brook and the Irish Catholic pioneers who settled there is really the history of the Saint Rose of Lima Parish, and that history is synonymous with the Rev. O'Donnell even though he did not arrive in Alder Brook until 37 years after the first church was built.
That first church was built in Alder Brook in 1854 by the Rev. James Keveny, eight years before Father O'Donnell was born on Jan, 6, 1862 in Ballybacon, Ireland, He grew up on a farm where his father raised sheep, he was educated in Ireland and ordained to the priesthood at St. Patrick's College, County Carlow, Ireland on June 15, 1886. In 1854, Alder Brook was in the Diocese of Albany. The Diocese of Ogdensburg was not established until about 1871.
He left Ireland and first served as an assistant at the cathedral in Wellington, New Zealand where the priests making sick calls had to sometimes travel as far as 100 miles on horseback. He arrived in New York City in 1890 and called at the rectory at St. Patrick's Original Cathedral which was then located in lower Manhattan, near Mott Street (now located on the corner of 50th Street and Fifth Avenue) and was assigned to work with the poor in the city. Father O'Donnell disliked the city and made his way to the Chancery Office in Ogdensburg where he was appointed by Bishop Wadhams as pastor at Black Brook and Alder Brook.
There was no rectory at Alder Brook at that time so he boarded with a family for about three years. He said Alder Brook reminded him of Ireland and bought a farm there in 1894, one mile from the church. He had the house fixed up for use as a rectory. Later, another priest was assigned to Black Brook and Father O'Donhell was given St. Paul's Parish in Bloomingdale along with St. Rose Parish, but about 1920, because of failing health, St. Rose became his only parish The church there burned to the ground in 1924 but Father O'Donnell promptly fixed up the church hall where he said Mass in the summer months and in the rectory in the winter months.
I quote Joe Hafford; "He (Father O'Donnell) not only attended faithfully to the spiritual needs of the parishioners, but also to their physical needs as well, when anyone was sick they sent for Father O'Donnell. Many people who lived in other parishes who learned that Father, had helped ailing persons came long distances, some even drove with horse and wagon from as far as Canada, and many received help."
But a long time before the church was built in 1854, mass would be celebrated in someone's home. Mass was said on a weekday by a visiting priest because he would have to say mass in his own parish on Sunday. Mr. Hafford said that mass was usually celebrated in the home of Hugh McKillip, his grandfather, because it was in the center of the locality and also because it was a frame house, the only one in the vicinity, and there would be more room than in a log house.
A St. Patrick's Benevolent Society was established in the 1800s with the purpose of giving aid to the members of the parish, financial and otherwise, in case of serious illness, death or other emergencies in a family.
Mr. Hafford quotes from the minutes of a meeting of the society which took place in the church in May 1871 ... "the following officers were elected: Darby O'Neil, president; William McKillip, vice president; Thomas Hafford, secretary; Daniel McKillip, treasurer. On July 9, the following members were present and paid their dues: Darby O'Neil, William McKillip, Thomas Hafford, D. McKillip, A. McKillip, J. Dillon, C. O'Neil, M. O'Neil, C. Dewey, M. McNamara, P. McKillip, Daniel Keese, P. Sullivan, J. O'Neil, Joseph McKillip, John Wallace, P. Kelley, William Keese, Mike Teirney, Thomas Finnegan, Charles Finnegan, Hugh Collins, Hugh McKillip, John Casey and William St. Clair."
Although Father O'Donnell died 54 years ago, there are still people around the region who knew him. On June 15, 1936, he celebrated his Golden Jubilee as a priest at Alder Brook and on June 15, 1946, at Alder Brook he celebrated the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. Two days later in Saranac Lake, Bishop McEntegart offered a mass in his honor, at which time a blessing from the Pope was read.
Mr. Hafford writes; "Father served the people of Alder Brook faithfully from January 1891 until his death in February 1949, a period of 58 years, He served under Bishop Wadhams, Bishop Gabriels, Bishop Conroy, Bishop Monahan and Bishop McEntegart.
Bill McLaughlin and I went to visit Mr. Hafford on two or three occasions when we were reporters for the Enterprise in the 1960s. I had known since him childhood, and was probably related since his grandfather was a McKillip and my grandmother was a McKillip. He was the curator of the parish, as I recall, and lived in the old rectory across from the cemetery. He would visit with us but when we would broach the subject of accessing the archives of the parish so we could do a story about St. Rose Parish and Father O'Donnell, he would curtly end the conversation. I know there are a lot of people around who knew Joe Hafford, and can't you just hear him when he would say to us; "Now I can't have the likes of you two nosing around here in the good Father's papers"?
Well, it was said in good humor but we didn't have to look at any records or hear any stories that he eventually put into the history that he wrote in 1977 and which I have been quoting from.


The San Francisco Chronicle featured a heart-warming front page story on how local musicians are helping Richmond students get books! Indie pop-rock duo called Pomplamoose is offering a free MP3 download of their holiday album to anyone who buys a book. Kudos to musicians Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn and their friend English teacher Tyler Hester.
Lots of individually packaged books keep arriving for the kids at Leadership Public School and for other Richmond schools. Kids need their own books and books to borrow. Access to books is key to higher literacy and thinking. Note: Amazon is hard on the environment, but bulk buying via and for school libraries would avoid all the individually packaged books.
Read on a bit more and you will see the tragic reality of too many California schools: "At Leadership Public, for example, the library now consists of about 500 dog-eared paperbacks housed in a former bathroom. Many were donated by folks cleaning house, which means the selection is fairly random." And you wonder why kids from poverty don't have high literacy levels -- little or no access to books or a strong school library program!
The California School Library Association has launched a public awareness campaign to promote California's blueprint for building strong school libraries. Review the website at librarycampaign.csla.net/. It would be most excellent if Pomplamoose and friends broaden their focus to rebuild all California school libraries. Contact the Campaign to offer social networking skills, your voice, or donations.
If these kids had an appropriately staffed and stocked library at their school, there wouldn't be a "story", would there? It is unfortunate that these new books are seen as a "novelty" rather than an inherent "right" to a proper public school education. I appreciate the generosity of this popular YouTube band, and the front page article indeed calls important attention to this serious issue.

Q: Python: Using list comprehensions to filter a list by a list of substrings I think this is a simple question, so I'll just go straight to an example.
Given these two lists:
x = ['a', 'ab', 'abc', 'bc', 'c', 'ac']
y = ['a', 'b']

How do I write a list comprehension to filter list x in such a way that the result would be:
result = ['c']

I want a list comprehension that excludes any partial matches of the strings in y to the strings in x.  For example, 'a' in y would match 'a', 'ab', 'abc', and 'ac' in x.
This comprehension only matches entire strings: result = [r for r in x if r not in y]
If this has already been asked I'll gladly accept a link to a previous answer.  That said, I haven't found one on SO yet.

A: This is a job for the any built-in.
>>> x = ['a', 'ab', 'abc', 'bc', 'c', 'ac']
>>> y = ['a', 'b']
>>> [r for r in x if not any(s in r for s in y)]
['c']

s in r does the partial match you want, for s in y checks all elements of y, and any is true if there was any match.  Then we just invert it.
This is quadratic, O(len(x) * len(y)).  If y is long, it may be more efficient to synthesize a regexp:
>>> import re
>>> yy = re.compile("|".join(re.escape(s) for s in y))
>>> [r for r in x if not yy.search(r)]
['c']

which should be merely O(len(x) + len(y)).

A: Use all:
result = [r for r in x if all(z not in r for z in y)]

Or any:
result = [r for r in x if not any(z in r for z in y)]

A: It depends on the length of your y what the best approach is, if it contains a lot of elements I would convert it to a set and check if any item in x has an intersection (one common character) with it:
y = set(y)
[item for item in x if not y.intersection(item)]

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cut the butter into small pieces and freeze briefly (5 to 10 minutes).
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the Gluten-Free Self-Rising Flour (see recipe here), sugar, and baking soda. Process briefly to blend. Add the dried cherries and pulse until chopped. Add the butter pieces and pulse until the mixture is very crumbly. Add the chocolate chips and pulse briefly to combine.
Lightly beat 1 egg in a bowl. Add the buttermilk and vanilla and mix together. Pour into the dry ingredients and pulse to combine. Be careful not to over mix. Turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper and gently knead to blend.
Using a 1/4-cup scoop, scoop the dough out onto the prepared cookie sheets and shape into circles. Leave 2 inches between the scones as they spread. Beat the remaining egg to use as an egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a scone comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
The scones may be frozen. Enjoy!

Superfood Harvest Salad
Terry Shorter
All Recipes, Dinner Recipes, Lunch Recipes
I'm a sucker for fall colors and flavors, so when I began adding things to this delicious recipe a friend gave me, I simply chose the most vibrant shades of fall and tossed them in until it looked beautiful. To get this salad to match your ratios perfectly, you'll just need to log as you go. But I can tell you, starting with 3 ounces of cooked chicken is best, knowing you'll add one slice of crumbled turkey bacon onto each salad to bring the protein up to 26 grams. Be cautious on the fruits you add so that you don't go over on carbs. Dried fruits will add a lot of carbs, so be liberal with the kale and cabbage (if using) and conservative with any dried fruit. Top each one with 1/8 cup pistachios for a total of 9 grams or so per salad. The only oil in the entire thing is 1 tablespoon that is used to massage the kale leaves. Since the salad serves 4 people, it's hardly any added fat. The great news about this nutritious and hearty salad is that you can swap out all kinds of fall ingredients to change it up. You could try pumpkin seeds, toasted walnuts, pecans or almonds, or omit the pomegranates and try dried gogi berries or figs.
4 cups organic kale (I used bagged Trader Joe's brand)
1 cup butternut squash, roasted an diced (roast cubes at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until soft- remove and cool)
1 cup quinoa, cooked (so approx. 2 cups when made)
1/2 cup red cabbage, diced (optional)
1 fuji apple, diced
8 tablespoons raspberry vinegar (or another fine, aged vinegar)
4 slices peppered turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
12 ounces grilled chicken
1/2 cup roasted pistachios, chopped
1/8 cup Zsweet (or Granulated Stevia)
1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Cool. Set aside.
2. Prepare the kale by removing stems. In a large bowl, combine the kale, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Massage kale leaves as though you're kneading bread dough for 3-4 minutes to tear leaves apart and soften them. They'll also turn a vibrant shade of green. Set aside.
3. Heat ZSweet in a small skillet over medium flame. As it begins to liquefy, add pistachios. Coat well. Reserve.
4. Toss cabbage through cranberries in with kale. Stir. Add quinoa and cooked squash. Toss with 4 tablespoons of vinegar.
5. Plate salad on 4 plates. Top evenly with chicken, bacon and nuts. Drizzle each salad with 1 tablespoon vinegar.

Ant and Dec
Ant and Dec hilariously recreate iconic Renaissance portrait for new viral isolation trend
Ant and Dec have recreated an iconic Renaissance portrait for a viral isolation trend – and fans can't get enough.
Charlotte HulmeLifestyle Reporter
Self-isolation can be a little tedious, there's no denying, but two people who seems to be squashing their boredom are Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, as the presenter duo opted for a little dress up during lockdown.
The pair, both 44, may be self-isolating separately, but that didn't stop them recreating Jan Van Eyck's 1434 Arnolfini portrait… as you do!
The Saturday Night Takeaway duo hit up Instagram to share their hilarious mimic of the portrait, to their 3.9 million followers.
They captioned the shot: "Art Meets Dec #BetweenArtandQuarantine," and fans couldn't help but tease the pair over the fun image.
"I'm literally crying this is so funny," wrote one person, while another added: "It's so funny it looks exactly the same."
"Hahahaha I love this," a third penned, with a fourth writing: "Omg yes," with a clapping hands emoji.

Will you try the 'quarantine pillow challenge'? Viral craze sweeping Instagram as influencers run out of clothes
Ant and Dec's #BetweenArtandQuarantine attempt is one of many, as the hashtag has been used by thousands who have taken to re-creating art at home around the world.
The Geordie pair showed off some very savvy computer skills to place themselves in the same space for the portrait, which was bought by London's National Gallery in 1842, where it is still housed.

Inside the family house that inspirational couple were given on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
The presenters, who recently presented Saturday Night Takeaway live from their respective homes, dressed in some quirky outfits for the portrait recreation.
Ant was in a black shroud and robe, whilst Dec donned a long green robe. A dog also makes a welcome appearance in the photo.

Thousands of people have been recreating their favourite paintings after Getty Museum invited people to try their hand at the challenge.
They wrote: "We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home."
And it seems people were quick to jump on the challenge, with the public recreating an array of famous artworks using props from the home.
The portrait shows Ant and Dec aren't letting recent Ofcom complaints get them down.
As they presented Saturday Night Takeaway live from their living rooms for the first time in the show's 18 year history, viewers were left shocked to see that while Dec gently placed his Dachshund on the sofa to get him off camera, Ant seemed to shoo his three pedigree pals with a bit more force.

The see-through jigsaw puzzle everyone is talking about that'll solve self-isolation boredom woes
Fans of the show rushed to Twitter to slam the host — who also presents I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! — for his roughness, with one writing: "Don't throw the dogs, Ant."
