Yesterday was a quite interesting day for the Indian commodities, as far as today's market concern it is highly changed and looks positive. The gold and silver surge 87 points and 112 points. Thursday gold was closed at 27158 and silver was closed at 44421.


RUSSELL Brand's mum, 71, was involved in a road accident earlier this year, leaving the comedian to cancel his Rebirth tour.
Russell Brand's mum is 71-year-old Barbara Brand.
The comedian – who is married to Laura Gallacher – is very close to his mum, and has often taken her on the red carpet.
Earlier this year, Russell's mum Barbara was involved in a serious road accident, leaving the comedian to cancel his tour, Rebirth.
Here's everything you need to know about Russell's mum, from her relationship with Russell, her battle with cancer to the road accident earlier this year.
Who is Russell Brand's mum?
Russell Brand's mum is Barbara Brand.
Barbara, 71, married Russell's dad, Ronald Brand, in 1969 but the couple later divorced.
Barbara and Russell are very close, with the star's mum often joining her son on the red carpet.
Russell Brand's mum has had cancer six times.
In 2017, the comedian revealed on Today in the US his mother was suffering for the illness again.
He said: "She's got cancer again right now; she's having chemotherapy at the moment.
"She's had cancer six times, but the woman is very resilient. She likes it here on this planet, clearly."
Russell explained in a video message after his mum was involved in a road accident she had finished chemotherapy in March 2018.
In April 2018, Russell's mum was involved in a serious road accident.
Following the events, Russell posted a video on Twitter where he announced he was cancelling his tour, Rebirth.
He said at the time: "I can't imagine performing at the moment. I feel too sad and too connected to this.
"I apologise but obviously it's circumstances beyond my control."
He added about the accident: "The man who was driving was a friend of mine.
"What I suppose I would like to say is how I am reminded, as I have been many times across my life is the important and significance of the NHS who have already saved her life on six occasions, my mum has had cancer six times."
Recently, Russell returned to social media where he revealed his mum was still in hospital, but she is improving.

Der Januar zieht bald andere Saiten auf. Glätte in den Alpen! Aktuelle Wettervorhersage 05.-12.11.2
this photo by Patrick here is for this typical view of the super mild winter of
y 2023 at least right now and we still have three days that are very mild which is this morning and the day after tomorrow then it goes downhill with the temperatures I felt like already it's spring the first buds some of the winters that have come are already blooming and then it will be a little colder next week but it's not really winter yet say hello to them and say hello to you at least here in the background with the view on the internet the Alps they'll go back to white and then probably white too Let's take a quick look at the style blooms of the latest American model joggers to find out a bit about what's behind the legs and which way it's likely to go so that on the one hand, a disturbed circulation after sex let it be so on
y 20 means there is an end to the western gatherings we have and would have a lot of individual pressure around that would not be winter weather, classically, that there would be a low with snow, but it would be significantly colder and the so-called run of twelve also shot the bird for around
y 20, in principle, a copy of the weather situation of the change in that then in winter 98.99 wo even after the phase characterized by a mild high pressure then this low broke through then the polar air would be free and would bring a lot of snow at least in the higher plains and especially in the mountains and lastly, but not least the so called 18er race shows a lot of high pressure there we would have high pressure again and above all the cold air accumulates like a wet sack on the ground and at altitude a really big sack of cold air is waiting to break through to the south which means we are now entering a transition zone and then the weather charts will be rearranged and then the weather conditions reported for on
y 20 and 21 these Azores are high, mind you, averaged over the 31 people which are way above the mainland, a low over Italy and Iceland that drifts a little further west and even a very, very small Scandinavia is indicated above, in any case, we find ourselves in a situation that is like this between the chairs is not the location incredibly warm is not the location incredibly cold sometimes facing east sometimes facing west or southwest temperatures at 1,500 m of altitude average between 0 and -5 degrees, that is, at a level lower than the current one, however at a level that is too high on average to proclaim a real winter climate and then we look at a map that is relatively important in in terms of deviations at an altitude of 1,500 m compared to the long-term average.
We'd even be on average there, so it won't be incredibly cold or warm, but what's on the other side is much more important than what happened here, the air at 1,500 meters is very mild compared to the long-term average, and so example, bräuc We had a great cold here to stoke the icelandic depths and the west continues to lead that had taken the direction at this time and another look at the whole for central Germany you know the red line is the average temperature of the 30 year air mass at 1,500 meters high the white line is the mean of all the model calculations the Bund will find and below that are the signs of precipitation of course there are different variants eg high pressure baggage and the dry variants that get relatively cold below, but also some winter races that more or less balance each other, let's leave this very high level that we had at the moment and get to the average io. with rather mild windy temperatures we need a layer of high pressure snow and calm for this it would be very cold which should drop after the precipitation the so-called twelve series of the American model cfs during the next two weeks, this has also been the most wet from the last few races and it should go down after the so called 18 series so somewhere in the middle it moves east with less precipitation west more precipitation and still got a card then we'll fill in the style blooms of the models viz the european ecmf model they say hey here i am with the main run i am switching to winter weather for
y 15th and i would let it be white in the lowlands at least in the south and in the north west they are happening a lot of things there some things still not quite right but yesterday they are slowly shaking the lows keep in mind it's
y and not somehow may in the northeast there was up to -2 g ard in the southwest 10 degrees, the highs between 5 degrees in the upper Ore Mountains 7 degrees in the Rhön and seven degrees in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were 14 degrees in the west and if you look at the temperature curve for
y, look, it's not may or april but it's slowly going down the main run yesterday even went down so much we would have dropped below average long term but we'll wait and see it's still holding above average temps even though the mass air is average and even though it's somewhere in a record range, that means the last 10 11 days theoretically have to push the average as far as we can get to around 2007, otherwise there will be a new record in
y, but it probably won't go there let's look at the weather conditions and see how it goes next night we are still in the area of the very soft air mass so called 552 trend in the low altitude and high pressure in the period prior to this low, warm air is introduced.
We don't have winter weather in Eastern Europe because it's really very bleak with minus double digit work also during the day and then something happens on the coming end of the week on Tuesday we get into a trough here for a little while, however, with too much wind, the white lines, the lines of the same atmospheric pressure, the isobaric pressure is very pronounced and the temperatures at 1,500 m. I hear incredibly cold a few degrees less just if we can look at the lines here we are in very cold air which means the total average air mass is very cold air at 5.5km altitude moderately cold air at altitude 1500 meters it also has a certain sum, so the snowfall line could go down to about 500 m altitude, it will be a bit softer here for example, then it will almost rain up to altitude 1000 meters, but only It's going to be wet and cold and a few days later Friday of next week we'll be back at this loop meets west this is slowly starting to come to a halt right here again over Central Europe with temperatures just minus 0 degrees at an altitude of 1,500 m that means now in the next week Hello, today it will be mostly cold and wet.
We will start with rain, especially in the northwest and at sea during the day. This front will move more to the southeast and then reach the low ridge at night, but then more and more. the sun will temporarily rise behind it above all in the North Sea in Schleswig-Holstein and in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, especially in Mecklenburg, later also in West Pomerania at the Baltic Sea in the Alps, the sun shines up to the foothills of the Alps and north of it, the rain front is getting closer here, we have west wind, otherwise, southwest wind in the northeast, there is still south wind and it is still quite choppy, maximum values reach six degrees in some areas where we have high fog. and up to 14 degrees in the west at night, then the fog spreads and so we start tomorrow in southern Germany nd and in the lowlands of the alpine countries with fog and high fog and these onion fields will persist from the forest of Thuringia and the Rhön to the lower elevations of Upper and Lower Austria in the Bohemian Basin from Upper Swabia to the Swiss Mittelland and also in the Middle Rhine Kraichgau partly in my area where high fog protrudes in the north clouds they will loosen up the sun will rise in the northeast end of the field some rain will cool down a bit and it will come from the southern directions in the alps there it is a fantastic day for here temperatures reach seven to 13 degrees in the areas of permanent fog it's only two to six degrees on sunday we start from the southwest with a weak rain front on the old south side also wanted to bring snow during the day the front moves more to the northeast, behind loosens towards the night and then it rains again from France but it will be much stronger, otherwise we will still have fog and sun in the southeast, with the sun prevailing better and in the eastern Alps on the north side of the Alps again a foehn in the southern Switzerland later partly also in South Tyrol it will start to snow heavily the snow line if it is about 1200 meters high then East Tyrol and southern Carinthia later also southwestern Styria is in the wind here from the southerly directions in Germany turns slightly to southeasterly directions so we have easterly winds in much of Bavaria and around Vienna that is also the case really whistling max values 7 to 12k 2 to 6 degrees in the foggy areas and then attention to the drivers hard to believe but we have snow in the alpine countries there will be a really complete snow woman that's all fixed for monday 4 o'clock in the morning we brief mind and recognize the country borders here this is the border with germany this is the border with südti rol italy here we have austria here we have switzerland and just across the alps there is an area of heavy snowfall that will be central and south from western Austria in the morning at 7 am. m. and the edge of the alps will also be very slightly affected here we have widespread blockages due to snow and many areas are high enough here that things really get down to business on monday morning when it comes to snow here in Germany we have the rainy area in the west in the evening, which then moves further north until the morning danger of aquaplaning bad crosswind passing through the drop in the Alps partly also snow during the day remains restless night rain moves to the northeast in the western and southern half there are always viewers snow line between 400 meters in the Eifel and high marshes and 1000 meters on the former south side, we have strong hurricane winds from the southwest directions and dr. up to ten degrees with maximum values reaching around 1415 after which values drop and by night there is a general threat of slippery conditions on Tuesday night then we have another area of snow moving in is currently at 4 a.m. in southern Germany and then moves towards the eastern edge of the Alps, i.e. in the foothills of the Alps above 500 to 700 meters altitude, then on Tuesday morning I will have a widespread risk of icing . at 800 m altitude in the Vosges in the north a little rain sleet between the sun on the former south side roughly from the east of Tyrol the sun shines more often the temperatures so we still have the wind coming strong from the west to the southwest they are zero to eight On Wednesday the old cold air will most likely come after a warm front ft disappears 0 to 8 degrees in the east again 8 to 13 degrees in the west with a stormy southwesterly wind in the North Sea the wind turns to the northwest and then it would need rain again on Thursday with snow from a height of 1000 meters ie where it was snowing further down before it all clears up again let's take a quick look at the sets, the temperatures of two meters, the precipitation and, in theory, this corridor would fall like snow in the north, it stays at an average of more degrees, there is a few runs later that also at night there are frosts but the winter rno not yet visible here also tends to be changeable however towards the middle of the month and especially after the middle of the month there are first runs which are again numerous with snow in the west a similar pattern all the time precipitation some of it as snow in the second half of the month the temperatures z initially almost continuously above zero from the middle of the month there are night frosts in the game you listen and marvel that in the year in the east exactly the same from the middle of the month more frequent night frosts a and again precipitation sometimes like snow and Finally, the view to the south, since sometimes I got completely briefly here at zero degrees, that means it goes down on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday with a slight night frost, then it goes up again and then from the middle of the month the night frost increases all the time precipitation which, however, more and more in the higher plains of southern Germany often it falls as snow no sustained onset of winter in sight yet here we still have to wait a bit but bergland winter according to the maps will come and stay

Two different issues—Russian interference in the U.S. election of 2016 and overall U.S. policy toward Russia—too often have been conflated. Donald Trump's questioning of the interference and his submission to Russian President Vladimir Putin have tainted what in other circumstances would be seen as reasonable and justified engagement with Moscow. Conversely, some observers firmly opposed to Cold-War-type confrontation with Russia are so affected by the first type of conflation that they deny the reality of the interference. Both forms of distortion fail to recognize that there is nothing inconsistent, in terms of either logic or policy, in accepting the truth about the interference and its implications, while also accepting the need for constructive diplomacy with Moscow on many other matters.
Even before the special counsel's most recent indictment, what journalists had uncovered about the cyber portion of the Russian interference effort should have convinced everyone that the subject was no fantasy or witch hunt. Now with this indictment—so remarkably detailed that the Russians must be wondering how much else the United States knows about Russia's military intelligence activities—there can be no doubt about the hacking portion of the Russian interference program. Any remaining deniers are people who for whatever reason are committed to believing otherwise and refuse to acknowledge that their earlier skepticism was incorrect. Such refusal is found mostly on the political left, especially among those predisposed to doubt anything coming out of a supposed U.S. "deep state." Some such elements fling terms such as "McCarthyism" at anyone resisting full-speed rapprochement with Russia, whereas today's actual McCarthyism—i.e., baseless charges that government officials are acting out of questionable motivations or misplaced loyalties—is found instead in scurrilous accusations from Trump and his supporters about those in the FBI and elsewhere who have been involved in the Russia investigation.
The persistent conflation appears not only on the left. For example, the respected former U.S. ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock, in a piece written before the most recent indictment, evidently was so distressed by how diplomacy toward Russia has been pre-empted by the mess involving Trump and the election that he, too, resorted to trying to knock down the intelligence community's judgments about the interference campaign. An example of how far he stretches in endeavoring to do that is his response to the community's disavowal of any attempt to assess the impact the Russian activities had on the outcome of the election. Matlock writes, "Now, how can one judge whether activity 'interfered' with an election without assessing its impact? After all, if the activity had no impact on the outcome of the election, it could not be properly termed interference." Huh? Interference is interference, regardless of how much of the intended effect it did or did not have. Even if the effect was significant, the outcome of the 2016 election rested, of course, on much more than just the Russian efforts—including voters' malaise, Hillary Clinton's mistakes, James Comey's announcements, wealthy donors' campaign contributions, and countless other aspects of domestic politics that the intelligence agencies have no business assessing and quite properly did not try to assess.
There are not just two, but four, big problems involved. All of them pose severe challenges to the United States. Each must be addressed seriously and individually, without conflation.
The first is overall U.S. policy toward Russia. This is surely one of the most important segments of U.S. foreign policy. There is plenty to talk about with the Russians, from Syria to arms control to Ukraine and much else. A prudent, well-designed, realist policy toward Russia would advance U.S. interests by carefully taking into account where those interests conflict with, and where they parallel, Russian interests, and would judiciously use carrots and sticks designed to induce Russian cooperation. High-level engagement would be part of such a policy but only a part. This is not the sort of policy that was implemented in the ill-prepared meeting in Helsinki. That meeting instead was another show in which Trump claimed that everything was handled horribly until he came along, and that thanks to his brilliance things are now hunky-dory. With nobody else except interpreters in the room, it is as plausible to assume the worst about what took place between the two presidents as to assume the best. It is especially plausible to assume that the interests motivating Trump were the interests of Donald Trump more than the interests of the United States. The meeting was a gift (or a payment) to Putin.
The second problem is Russian interference in the U.S. democratic process. Now that the extensive interference in 2016 is established as a fact, Americans need to reflect deeply on the implications. The further fact that Trump has subcontracted his policies at least as much to certain Middle Eastern states as he has to Russia does not diminish the significance of what Russia has done. That much influence by any foreign power, over any U.S. election or any U.S. president, is a corruption of American democracy, as well as being a recipe for policies that are less in the interest of the United States than of the foreign state.
The third problem is that the United States currently has a president who very likely has been personally compromised by, and feels beholden to, Russia. Although past presidents have had individual likes and dislikes for specific foreign states—going back to the early days of the republic, when Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans had different sentiments toward Britain and France—Trump poses the first instance of foreign connections raising a fundamental question of loyalty. Jonathan Chait's extensive review of Trump's connections with Russia is worth reading. It provides a picture of dependence that does not hinge on any one compromise or piece of blackmail, but that makes many of the possible compromises that have been mentioned all the more plausible. Robert Mueller's team is still at work and has the plea-bargained cooperation of several people who were in position to know much. It is implausible that everything significant there is to know in the case of Donald Trump and Russia is already in the public domain.
As intelligence veteran Rolf Mowatt-Larssen observes, "Donald Trump would have been an active target of Russian intelligence since the moment they laid eyes on him for two reasons that come straight from the classical espionage textbook: He has influence; and he is potentially vulnerable to various forms of compromise." This does not imply some three-decade-old Russian plan to put an asset in the White House. As Tom Nichols of the U.S. Naval War College explains, Trump was one of the many bets the Russians routinely place, while recognizing that most such bets will not pay off but a few will, at times and in ways that are unpredictable.
Trump's own policies and pronouncements since taking office provide the strongest evidence that this one bet is paying off handsomely for the Russians. Putin could hardly have made the script for Trump's conduct at the recent NATO meeting any more to his liking—and any better designed to foment division and distrust within the Western alliance—than the way Trump actually behaved. A further indication has been Trump's reluctance to acknowledge, even after the recent detailed indictment, the Russian interference in the election. In Helsinki the world saw the extraordinary spectacle of a U.S. president, when invited by a reporter to say directly that Trump believes his own intelligence agencies' findings and to warn Russia about future election meddling, refusing to do so and instead acting as a front man for the Russian president.
Columnist Charles Blow has described the situation bluntly: "America is being betrayed by its own president. America is under attack and its president absolutely refuses to defend it." Blow—along with former CIA director John Brennan, seconded by Tom Friedman—calls this treason. Most other observers have not yet used that word, but there are ample grounds for using it.
The subversion includes Devin Nunes's making a hash of congressional oversight in an effort to discredit the intelligence community's findings about the Russian program. It includes browbeating FBI officers in a fruitless attempt to find evidence of bias in the investigation of that program. It includes a groundless effort to impeach the deputy attorney general, who oversees the special counsel's investigation and announced the recent indictment. Justice is being obstructed, and it is not only Trump who is doing the obstructing.
This fourth problem is in many respects the most intractable one of all. Trump is not just a one-off national nightmare that will end when he leaves office. The problem has political and social roots that go far beyond Russia-related issues. Its resolution might require nothing less than a reconstruction of the American party system.
You can indict a ham sandwich with a grand jury. It doesn't prove anything.
How many countries has the US deep state influenced through coup or assassination?
Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954, S. Vietnam 1963, Chile 1973, Libya 2011, Ukraine 2014-2015 just to name a few.
Does the author really believe a few ads on facebook elected Trump?
The American public have had it with the permanent federal government and the deep state gaggle of intelligence operatives, journalists, neo-cons, think tankers, politicians and the military contractors that run it.
This bunch needs an enemy to maintain their gravy train. They need manufactured fear to fund their racket.
Joe Marly, a pretty complete list except you left out the Zionists!
The problem with Mueller's latest indictment is that it hangs so much of its baggage on the argument that the hackers downloaded all the DNC files into a folder, compressed it there into a single file, then squirted that over the Internet before decompressing it.
Mueller has to do that because the metadata in those files would otherwise indicate a local copy onto USB (i.e. a "leak" not a "hack").
That counter-explanation in the indictment is quite plausible …. except… except…Craig Murray has stated that he was the person who went to the USA to take delivery of those file on behalf of Wikileaks, and while there he was given a…. USB stick.
Mueller is surely hoping that no Russian surrenders themself to demand their day in court, because the moment Craig Murray is called to the witness stand the entire farce falls to the ground with a thud.
What I find so hilarious about that statement is that the *last* time Mueller issued indictments he was foolish enough to indict some Russian companies as well as assorted Russian individuals.
Foolsish because those companies promptly engaged lawyers and fronted up up court to demand to see what evidence Mueller actually had (a right, of course, any accused has).
Mueller's only response has been to beg the court to delay, delay, delay.
Q: What does Mueller actually "know" about the Russians?
A: Nothing. And the Russians are so confident about that they are more than happy to test Mueller's "knowledge" in court.
How do you know that Mueller isn't bluffing knowing that the defendants will never be extradited? We don't have an extradition treaty with the Russian. We have the 1999 treaty with them that Putin is perfectly willing to cooperate with. Mueller needs to have them questioned under auspices of the legal treaty we have with them if he's got the goods on them. So put up or shut up.

Michael Just (born 1979, Frankfurt/Main, Germany) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin, Germany and southeast Austria. He studied Fine Art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Daniel Buren (Master/Meisterschüler 2007), received an MFA in Art Practice from Goldsmiths, University of London (2009) and participated in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in New York City (2010/2011).
He was a DAAD Postgraduate Fellow (2007/2008) and a recipient of the EHF-Fellowship, Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation (2007/2008). Residencies include the Palazzo delle Arti Napoli (2010), Villa Aurora Los Angeles (2012), Dongcheng District Beijing (2017), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2018), 16×16, Lagos (2020) and the Agder Center for Contemporary Art, Kristiansand (2021). He was the recipient of the Deutsche Bank Prize for Emerging Sculptors (2005) as well as several project grants from the DAAD, Incontri Internazionale D'Arte, the J.F. Costopoulos Foundation, the Goethe-Institut and the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation.
His work is held in international collections and has been shown in institutions around the world such as Garash Galeria Mexico DF (2004), the MRAC Sérignan (2005 and 2006), Benaki Museum Athens (2005), Domaine Pommery Reims (2007), Cornerhouse Manchester and A Foundation London, Bloomberg Newcontemporaries (2009), Palazzo delle Arti Napoli (2010), Artisanal House New York City (2013), Eigen+Art Lab Berlin (2014), Cydonia Gallery Dallas (2015), Deutsche Bank KunstHalle Berlin (2015), Peppermint Holding Berlin (2016), Dongcheng District Beijing (2017) and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Seoul (2018). He has taught, lectured, presented and participated in conferences and panel discussions internationally such as at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Goldsmiths University of London, Accademia di Belle Arti Napoli, Art Center College of Design Pasadena, University of Texas Dallas, Booker T High School Dallas, Accademia di Belle Arti Roma, Goethe-Institut Beijing, MMCA Seoul and Goethe-Institut Glasgow. Curatorial projects include the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Changdong (2018).
Michael Just works mainly in two-dimensional, image-based mediums, installation, text and time- and process-based, often times discursive and intersubjective projects. His practice prioritizes a post-conceptual approach over medium-specificity and could be described as a network of permeating, interacting and interrelating fields that form a complex whole. Using notions of plasticity to develop fluid concepts of the politics of form and the form of politics, Just is ultimately concerned with history understood as the process of change. Unfolding in between deep history and the anthropogenic condition, his work investigates and analyzes notions of becoming as they pertain to opening up possibilities for the formation of future societies and their material conditions of production. For art to contribute to the constitution of the future, his practice attempts to facilitate a discourse that merges culture with technology, science, the socio-political and ecology. There is a pedagogical dimension to his approach at the heart of which is the production of a critical audience. His work is, therefore, also concerned with an investigation of methodologies of knowledge production, using marginality as both a perspective on and an approach to an analysis of the production of subjectivities. .

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (NDAA) is just days away from reaching the President's desk. Despite efforts by several senators and representatives on both sides of the aisle to address some of the fundamental civil liberties concerns with the bill, the bill in its current form not only discriminates on the application of the Due Process Clause afforded to immigrant communities but also makes it exceedingly difficult for the President to live up to his promise of once and for all closing the infamous Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Although an amendment introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Mike Lee (R-UT), passed (67-29) on Nov. 29, with the intent to prohibit the use of military tribunals to detain U.S. citizens and legal residents apprehended on U.S. soil, the amendment is still inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution. It discriminates on the basis of a person's residency status and also includes a dangerous provision implying that there are no constitutional hurdles if the U.S. Congress passes legislation authorizing the domestic military detention of any person in the U.S.
The key language in the Feinstein-Lee amendment reads: "An authorization to use military force, a declaration of war, or any similar authority shall not authorize the detention without charge or trial of a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States apprehended in the United States, unless an Act of Congress expressly authorizes such detention."
A coalition of civil and human rights organizations voiced their opposition to the Feinstein-Lee amendment and sent a letter to Senator Feinstein's office in the days leading to the amendment's debate on the Senate floor. And earlier this week, the Arab American Institute along with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Muslim Advocates, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council, sent a letter to Senators Carl Levin (D-MI), John McCain (R-AZ) and Representatives Buck McKeon (R-CA) and Adam Smith (D-WA), the chairs and ranking members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committee, who will be leading the House-Senate conference in the coming days to draft the final version of the bill, voicing opposition to the military detention provisions currently in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
Another troubling provision in the latest version of the bill includes a measure that would prevent Guantanamo detainees from relocating to other facilities in the U.S. or elsewhere, and would stipulate that the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo would essentially be forced to remain open throughout 2013, despite President Obama's efforts to shut it down once and for all. The amendment was introduced by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and passed in the Senate 54-41. The White House, however, has threatened to veto the bill in its current form, objecting to a number of provisions including language limiting the transfers of Gitmo prisoners.
It's unclear what additional changes will be made after the defense bill passed the Senate unanimously (98-0) on December 4, 2012 and whether the Gitmo restrictions will be removed. The House voted yesterday on a motion to send the Defense Authorization bill to a closed-conference, where any unresolved issues between the two chambers will be resolved before the bill is sent to the House floor for a final vote. This may be the final opportunity for Congress to strip out these unconstitutional provisions.
Because of the discriminatory nature of the application of the Due Process Clause and the stipulations in the bill making it more difficult for the President to take action to finally close the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, the President should veto the bill.

Frida Kahlo, Making Herself an Exhibit
November 5, 2018 December 3, 2018 Samantha Neugebauer
I am younger than I am now and wearing a green velvet dress. My face is painted and I have violet flowers tucked within my dark hair. My earrings drip to my shoulders and I feel dazzlingly happy as I sit in the passenger's seat beside the man I love (and who loves me!) in his fast car–we are going to a faraway party in Western Pennsylvania. It is winter and still bright outside, the windows are sealed, but as we leave his house and round through the winding roads leading to the highway, a blue silence like a haze descends over us. His fingers grip the steering wheel, his knuckles whiten, and his mouth becomes menacing.
"I can't believe you," he hisses, still staring at the road ahead.
"What? What?" I ask, bewildered. I have no idea what I have done wrong.
"Think," he spits, letting his tongue slap the roof of his cold mouth, "You like to do that, don't you?"
I search the interior of the car for clues. Door handle. Dashboard. Radio nozzles. My slinky purse on the floorboard.
"What?" I beg.
His face is tight like a canvas tent pinned to breakable earth. I stare at his profile and after a punishable time, he snarls, "Your chin. It's disgusting. You disgust me sometimes."
I instantly free my hand of my glove and brush the sides of my face and feel the distinctive bristles, a family heirloom–my mother and her mother were flowery too. I want to shrug. I had felt resplendent.
"People will laugh at you. Everyone can see," he scolds me.
"I don't think it matters," I say weakly, but he continues to humiliate me and to augur an inevitable humiliation by others until I am crying and he turns the car around. "If you loved me, you'd take care of that."
I see my tears transforming into sea ice as they drip downward and this slender ice grass grows high and sharp in the car like an ice meadow. My knees shake as the glacier glass ascends around us with polar majesty–can't he see? Blue ice stalks grow over the armrest and between our legs, from the vents, on the dash, while the polar chill strangles all the flora and fauna of my being, and everything is winter suddenly. When we reach his house, I assume we are finished for the evening–or forever–but instead he shuts off the engine, and says quietly, "I'll wait here. There is a razor in my cup."
As I open the car door, I imagine the ice stalks following me, becoming water, and flooding out of the car, but as I turn back around, the ice has not melted but grown thicker and now the man is encased in the ice, unrecognizable as a blur. I slowly let myself back into his house and climb up to the bathroom, where I stare at myself in the mirror. Am I a barbarian? My makeup is ruined, two smudgy charcoal trails that fall over my cheeks, my hair is fussed and raging from our argument. I pick up the razor and lean over the sink, still tearful as I shave off the undesirable thistles of me. As I do it, I wonder what I am doing. Then, like a clear burst of air, a bird of thought, Athena's owl, Frida Kahlo's spirit flies into the room. That unmistakable whiff of moustache, the monobrow, but mostly, her defiant eyes. I go to the party, shaven. I drink and dance, but in my heart, I feel the drought coming, the cracking of something once fertile, but it isn't my dermis – it is something else.
Frida Kahlo, Julien Levy, American; From the collection of: Philadelphia Museum of Art
How and why do so many folks find inspiration in Frida Kahlo, and not just in her paintings, but in how she lived her life? "For [American Art Historian] Parker Lesley, she epitomized 'the Byzantine opulence of the Empress Theodora, a combination of barbarism and elegance" (Phillips 95). Is it this — her timeless brutal regality without mystification? And is it part thrill of her unorthodox face, more familiar and universal than the faces on most world currencies? With her radical choices, she gives us permission to be ourselves. Carlos Phillips Olmedo, Director General of Museums Dolores Olmedo, Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera Anahuacalli, claims "There is art that is so highly personal in nature that it becomes universal. This is true of the art of Frida Kahlo" (Henestrosa & Wilcox 10). London's Victoria and Albert museum's current exhibition, Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up, seeks to answer this question and more. And it succeeds, without falling into idolatry, hagiography, or beatification. Or an uninventive mise-en-scène of a mad misunderstood genius. Or myth-making.
Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up is an exhumation of a subversive feminist-artist-activist who is still able to teach us new ways to live and think. By unearthing Kahlo's personal artifacts (literally, the artifacts presented were revealed in 2004 from Kahlo's sealed bathroom), we do not supersede her paintings. Instead, swimming through the blue exhibit rooms (painted blue in homage to her Casa Azul home in Coyoacán, Mexico), visitors temporarily evolve the lateral organs of fish and are able to feel all the vibrations, impulses, histories, and pressure gradients in Kahlo's life, which imbued her easels and her untraditional canvases (her own plaster corsets and prosthetic leg) with her singular force.
The exhibition's co-curator Circe Henestrosa writes, "It is her construction of her identity through her ethnicity, her disability, her political beliefs and her art that makes her such a compelling and relevant icon today" (14). Henestrosa's words echo Olmedo's idea that it is the highly personal aspect of Kahlo that draws in her acolytes; Kahlo exemplifies how mess and integrity in your art and lifestyle is attractive, whereas being too broad and noncommittal in order to please does not actually appeal in the long-term. The exhibition, which also throws light on modern Mexican history, reminds us that this daughter of a German immigrant and a Mexican woman "wore many hats" as people say today–she even reinvented her own birthday, turning her clock forward by three years, so she could be a daughter of the 1910 Mexican Revolution.

Some reviews of this exhibition bemoan a lack of Kahlo's paintings or suggest we are ogling Kahlo with a modern gaze. Jonathan Jones of The Guardian writes, "This exhibition reinvents Kahlo as a 21st-century artist whose life was a kind of performance…" and "I suppose this is what artistic fame looks like in 2018." I would counter that all lives are performances and in the most enlightened scenario, the performance is a person living out their essences for their own fulfillment and pleasure, which Kahlo demonstrates. There is a difference between performance and self-publicity; I wager that Kahlo was less interested in self-publicity than contemporary artists and social media darlings are today, but she might have been just as much a performer. For example, while viewing her painting Self Portrait Along the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States at the exhibit, the curators remind us that Kahlo stated, "The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia [America] is to have ambition and become 'somebody,' and frankly, I don't have the least ambition to become anybody." Kahlo didn't want to become somebody, which is what the performer does. Kahlo was comfortable with the existing contradictions of her life, body and history; a publicity campaign-minded person also prefers a more linear and uncomplicated message. For instance, the exhibition takes us into Kahlo's home where she spent most of her life, a place just outside of Mexico City. She and her partner Diego Rivera collaged her home's interior walls with tiny votive (or retablo or ex voto or lámina) paintings (she collected more than 400), because they were part of Kahlo's national and maternal history, not because she actually believed in god and the saints (Gotthardt). The votive influence is also felt in her own art and the V&A exhibition features many such votives to consider along with their context within Mexican history.

Other reviewers wish there had been a more unequivocal focus on her communist politics, or her atheism or feminism. I will note The Communist Manifesto was being sold alongside dozens of Kahlo biographies at the robust gift shop, and a black-and-white video of Kahlo, Leon Trotsky, and Diego Rivera at Casa Azul plays early in the exhibition. In addition, an exhibit highlight was Kahlo's plaster orthopedic corsets, one of which featured the unmistakable symbol of proletarian solidarity, the red hammer and sickle. Seemingly, co-curators Claire Wilcox and Circe Henestrosa chose to "show" Kahlo's story instead of "tell" it, which means the likes of Chekhov and legions of creative writing teachers would enjoy the storymaking of this exhibition.
Ultimately, underlining this empowering and uplifting exhibition is a tension between the Flaubertian notion that the artwork is all that should matter, and the alternative, that the artist's life is worthy of study, and enhances our experience with their art or with our world. Furthermore, there is a subtler idea, that artists themselves are deserving of our time, but only if we are engaging in discourse concerning "serious" matters, like the artist's politics or gender-bending. If we are entranced by Kahlo's stained lipstick print on a photo of Rivera or the grey-green stone beads she most likely acquired from Maya sites in southeastern Mexico, we are somehow superficial, plebeian, mere idolaters. All these ideas are myopic and do not apply to this exhibition. One easy reason is that humans, particularly women, are still enduring in binaries, boxed like madonna or jezebel as caring wife or career woman, or problematic sub-boxes like muse, manic pixie dream girl, feminazi. Kahlo provides us with a modular life; she does not live in a box–she lives in sieves. Things pass through her and she passes through them, from Tehuana headdresses to medical operations to being Madame Rivera to engaging in her infidelidades to being a person with lifelong physical disabilities. All these passages infuse her artwork and give us a new way to consider being human or woman or artist or bodied or partner or citizen.
In the United Arab Emirates today, because of her physical limitations, Kahlo would be considered a Person of Determination, which is a new and bold take on inclusive language issued by Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum. This distinction, decreed in time for March 2019's Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi, is a far cry from the language many folks grew up using around disability– and language changes thinking. 'People of Determination' signs are now found everywhere in the UAE, from airports to queues at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. And if there is any doubt in the language, look to Kahlo for affirmation. The exhibition reminds us that Kahlo once said, "I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy as long as I can paint" and Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A, states, "Her rejection of gender orthodoxy and conventional fashion–as an artist who also transcended disability–allowed her to forge a unique identity which spans ages, gender and geography in its global appeal" (Henestrosa & Wilcox 11). In fact, the opening text within the exhibit is organized under the titles 'Roots' and 'Sickness' because these two elements of her life are the muses of so much of her artwork. It is gratifying to understand the multifarious influences in her life and not perpetuate the idea of the artist being visited by some mythical muse who imparts ideas in the artist's hands like the spirit visiting the Four Evangelists. There is hard reflective work and corporal pain inherent in every painting, evidenced in works such as The Broken Column. Furthermore, through 'Roots', we learn of her photographer father, who liked to take self-portraits, perhaps animating her own lifelong obsession with self-portraiture.
John Madejski Garden, Samantha Neugebauer
On the afternoon I visited the exhibit, the crowd was surfeit with matriarchal magnetism—mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends, all huddling over captions, smiling, reading, and nodding their heads together. It was especially arresting to see young boys enchanted by Kahlo, grasping their mother's hands and asking questions about her life, ideas, and art. There was innocence and hope inherent in these little boys' fascination; they had not yet been conditioned to fear powerful women, to feel intimidated, or to fight (sometimes subconscious, sometimes conscious) urges to want their women conformed into boxes. Outside, in the museum's John Madejski Garden, children leaped inside a steel face of Kahlo for photos of the flower queen. It felt like a safe haven in a world that is as of late (as of always) hostile towards women. Kind of like how, according to curator Adrian Locke, Kahlo's Mexico felt to many artists, photographers, and academics during the outbreak of WWII and rise of fascism in Europe. At this time "Mexico was viewed as a safe haven that welcomed refugees" (Henestrosa & Wilcox 46). Kahlo, likewise, has become a stiff caryatid holding up new ideas for us to consider, but also someone we can stand below for pride and safety.
Back inside the museum, there was genuine excitement in the air; it was a different energy than the V&A's relatable David Bowie Is exhibition or even another exhibit of a female art icon, Georgia O'Keeffe, which was on at the Brooklyn Museum in 2016. Both these exhibitions were extremely well-done and expansive, but in some ways, Kahlo's subversion is more necessary now, more timely. Kahlo did not live to see many of the dark repercussions of communist leadership, so, we cannot predict exactly what her politics would look like today; however, we can look to her art and lifestyle for elements of her politics which would still serve us well, especially if we feel trapped in the grid of capitalism but aren't sure what to do. For example, many of the costumes on display were handmade or altered by Kahlo herself. Her wardrobe was intentional, inclusive, and I'll say, the wardrobe of an environmentalist. Her clothing was typically comprised of a huipil (square-cut tunic) and an enagua (skirt) with an holán (flounce). She wore the same accessories and clothing frequently, as evidenced in many photos and paintings reunited in this exhibit with Kahlo's real wardrobe. She also kept clothing that was imperfect —paint splatters, ink, cigarette burns, and other marks of life. She altered, shared, and borrowed stones, beads, fabrics; some of her famous swaps were from notables like her comrade Picasso and Peggy Guggenheim (Phillips 89). She was generous and inventive. Alternatively, in a recent article about Rent the Runway in the The New Yorker, Alexandra Schwartz writes, "…the average American buys sixty-eight items of clothing, eighty percent of which are seldom worn; twenty percent of what the $2.4-trillion global fashion industry generates is thrown away" (46). If we admire Kahlo's style, why not create our own and eschew the anodyne of fast fashion? We don't need to imitate her look, but rather follow her attitude towards style cultivation and wardrobe accumulation.
Other unmissable exhibition highlights included a short clip of Miguel Covarrubias' film El Sur de México, which features strong female figures from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, an inspiration of Kahlo's as reflected in her artwork and her élan. The famed Mexican writer Andrés Henestrosa from Oaxaca was a friend of Kahlo's and Henestrosa gave Kahlo her first Tehuana dresses (Phillips). Furthermore, Covarrubias had stated, "To the average city Mexican, a Tehuana is as romantic and attractive a subject as a South Sea maiden to an adolescent American" (Phillips). Once you familiarize yourself with Tehuana sartorial traditions and post-revolutionary nationalism, it is impossible not to discern its spell on Kahlo.
A key item for poetry lovers is Kahlo's copy of Leaves of Grass (the Spanish translation of Whitman's poems by Armando A. Vasseur was found at Kahlo's deathbed). Lastly, make sure to check out the exquisite bracelet from China that Kahlo wore; it is featured in the exhibition's last room.
Victoria and Albert Museum Gift Shop, Samantha Neugebauer
Following the exhibit, one exits, rather obviously, through the gift shop. While the capitalistic cacophony of Kahlo goods for sale might have elicited disdain from the artist if she were around to witness it, there is a sense that the eager shoppers have a specious impulse that by buying a flowery headband or bulbous necklace, they will never detox from the euphoria of their Kahlo experience and the empowerment she radiates. These actions come from a good place; they also support the museum (which has free admission)–and in some cases, contemporary Mexican artisans. There is not only a gift shop of Kahlo wares as your exit, but also Kahlo-inspired souvenirs and books in the V&A's main gift shop. In this space, you'll find exclusive pieces of jewelry and other fashion goods, like painted guaje purses, by female Mexican artists, such as Iris De La Torre of Guadalajara, Carla Fernández of Mexico City, and Franco-Mexican designer Sophie Simone Cortina, who all designed pieces especially for this exhibition. One necklace by Cortina called 'Hummingbirds' expresses how these birds represent good luck in Mexican culture and the piece also evokes the term of endearment Rivera used to refer to Kahlo's eyebrows: her hummingbirds. I purchased a pair of chaquira earrings by Carla Fernández, made in collaboration with the Mooy artisans from the San Pablito community, which feature one figure wearing a long skirt and another in trousers. When I asked for this pair from the salesperson, a young seemingly kind-hearted guy asked, "Oh, you want the boy and girl pair or the two girls?" There was another pair by Fernández with both figures in skirts. I was temporarily taken aback that we were still making distinctions on sex related to a human's clothing choices, especially in such close vicinity to the masterful Kahlo exhibition, one that even featured photographs of Kahlo in trousers. That brief experience was quickly usurped by my eavesdropping as I heard a young Glaswegian-accented boy make pleas to his father to buy some bright plastic bracelets as he slipped several of them up his thin arms. His father quickly instructed him to "Put those back…those are for girls".
Nevertheless, these two antidotes did not break the magic of Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up. In truth, these final brief episodes bolstered my reverence for the exhibition, its necessariness, and seriousness. Ultimately, it makes me believe, as I finish writing this while brushing the small dark hairs on my chinny chin chin, that we have as much to learn from Kahlo about how she lived her life, in her body, with her uncompromising body hair, and in her clothing, as we do from her paintings themselves.

(Rev 21:5) And the One sitting on the throne said, Behold! I make all things new. And He says to me, Write, because these Words are faithful and true.
(Rev 21:6) And He said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. To the one thirsting, I will freely give of the fountain of the Water of Life.
(Rev 21:7) The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be God to him, and he will be the son to Me.
(Rev 21:8) But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become foul, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the lying ones, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
Lord Jesus Christ teach that to love your neighbor as you love yourself. And even to give ones life to save others is the greatest expression of love. Many people claim to be His follower but do not follow what He teaches.As it is written (Mat 7:21) "Not everyone who keeps saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven.
(Mat 7:23) Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you evildoers!'"
Navin . Jesus never allowed violence and did not move any war. It is not important if the Mahabarata is not qn holy war, the important is the symbolism.
Jesus' ideas created war. He did nothing to prevent it. If he was real person, he failed to understand human nature and anticipate the atrocities done in his name. The Buddha specifically said not to hurt people in his name 500 years before the supposed jesus. Jesus also is believed to be the savior for forgiving all sins. As a symbol (idol, but not human) this works. We as humans need to find ways to move forward. As a scapegoat, he becomes Constatine's excuse for atrocity with no karmic consequence. As christains no longer suffer the effects of their negative karma, they can and do perform genocide after genocide. If jesus failed to see what would happen, this too suggests he was not much of a prophet, let alone savior.
Even so, you suggested jihad came from Mahabharat. The argument I presented was not against the value of symbolic battles. If the jihad, koran, and bible are merely symbols not to be taken literally – I agree. The argument I put forward was that the Mahabharat does not support jihad / crusade / violence in the name of God. The war is merely a historical conflict driven by greed and false sense of ego and ownership (in the modern context – a false sense of property rights). The spiritual path is eternal (and simultaneous to the current world). The teaching of the Gita says to go beyond the temporal apparent reality and then act within the temporal apparent reality – no jihad.
Navin- I agree with most of your post, but Jesus idea did not create wars, their bad interpretations did. The same is true for Muslims, Buddhists. You know about the violence/wars betwen the Hindu and the Buddhists in India before Shankara, and the recent war in Sri Lanka. No people is immune from violence. Buddhists can be very violent too.
I agree about Constantine and Gita.
Humans have God given hearts and minds. Ideologies are man made constructs as Yokobi's square and circle idolatry. Yoakobi has agreed that there are no muslim states. Meaning he is speaking of an ideal that does not really exist. His ideology allow him to hate based on his constructed idolarty of the truth. LIke wise, many a human has been taught an idolatry of truth. They think God only spoke to us in this book or that, that God only allows us to call God by one name, or only in the name of one prophet... Once they create this ideology, this idolatry of a tiny truth, then they bow to Mecca, they bow to imams and popes, they bow to books, they close their minds and hearts to the love we have for each other given by God for us to share. Hearts and minds can not be won – they are divine gifts we already have. But they can be defeated. What it takes to defeat them is for good persons to validate insane ideologies as created in worship of hateful, wrathful gods as those of the bible and the koran (and thus the history of genocide that goes with those ideologies) – and then the ignition of hatred by power hungry Bin ladens hiding in their caves, popes setting off cursades, Mohameds marching with sword on Mecca, -christian and islamic colonialism.... Hearts and minds can have this grime of ignoraance removed by the stroke of love. But if peoples are so darkened in their belief system by their own governments and gods that they blame the US for the failings of their own leadership and citizenry (and thus themselves), then the stroke of international aid is converted into a mythological attack on a mythological belief system (consider Polio). Then, it comes the individual Pakistani, the individual Afghani, the individual Saudi – always the individual human (with God given dignity) to stand up and say I will not worship a hateful god. I worship Truth, Justness, and Love (Satcitananda or as it translates in any other language) for these are divine gifts.
Navin – you should know that it is severely prohibited to bow to an Imam. The motivation about the iconoclasm inside Islam is to prevent iddolatry. Even the prohibition to paint the Prophet was enhanced for this reason.
To me Hinduism and Islam are complementary, as the first and the last tradition. The letter N written in arabic and sanscrit shows this in a grafic manner.
Hearts and minds might be over rated. There should be "hearts and minds" to win, first. Pretty hard to win them when there are not any, or very few.
Pakistan, China, Arabia Mullah Omar and Bin Laden supported Afghanistan along with US against the Soviets.
If US could pull out Bin from his hide out among trillions of Pakistan nation other missions are not that hard for them in the Lord our God!!
The only terrorist country is the USA. At least for the 8-9 countries they bombed.
How easy it is to neglect the facts and create one's own reality.
In every lie, it is said, there is truth. In this case, it seems the truth can also be a lie by omission.
I enjoy your opposing views and perceptions. As we can see, perceptions can vary greatly.
Napoli – It is not my opinion. It is a FACT that USA bombed 8-9 countries. No other country has this record.
Fine – it should also be explained why. You can say that and I beleive the number is actually much higher. The point is it was not clarified which countries you included or why or how it happened or in response to what, etc. Hence the lie. Statements like that are what journalist do, what accountants do, what CEOs do, what politicians do to make Their point in spite of facts to the contrary. They inspire a false sense of justice with efforts to persuade others. It is an AQ tactic, as well.
I am surprised to read you are a US taxpayer. Who else are you backing?
It would take too much time to analyze all the situations, but from the eightees I remember Lebanon, Panama, Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Serbia, Afghanistan, Pakistan. I don't care a thing a bout the motivations, as Switzerland or Finland did not bombed those countries and have a better quality of life than USA.
It is amazing one can apply so many varied definitions to so few words. I wish I knew what this guy was trying to say, other than he hates, an awful lot.
I agree. It's weird. Thanks!
These clowns never give up! They're forever trying to brainwash the Afghan people into collaborating with them. I don't think that even the Germans worked that hard at it during WW2.
They are brainwashed with no hope. The Germans was not so brainwashed to think they could win the hearths and minds.

BREMEN, Germany (OHB System PR) — OHB System AG, a subsidiary of Bremen-based space and technology group OHB SE (Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005936124), has been selected by the European Space Agency ESA as the prime contractor for the CO2M mission (CO2 Monitoring Mission in the Copernicus program).
This mission includes the Copernicus satellites, which will measure global anthropogenic CO2 emissions and thus play a key role in studying the causes of climate change and monitoring it.
OHB System and OHB Italia will also be responsible for the payload on two further missions (CHIME: Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment and CIMR: Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer) as subcontractors of Thales Alenia Space.
The order volume resulting from today's bid decisions is expected to be more than EUR 800 million [$900 million]. Final contract negotiations will start shortly and contract signings are expected in the coming weeks.
Copernicus is a satellite Earth observation program of the European Commission and the European Space Agency ESA. It provides Earth observation data for environmental protection, climate monitoring, natural disaster assessment and other social tasks.
In addition, ESA's Industrial Policy Committee (IPC) has approved OHB System's proposal for the HERA asteroid defense mission for final negotiations. Implementation of the HERA mission has already commenced. The contract is expected to be worth around EUR 130 million [$146 million].

CANNES, July 2, 2020 (Thales Alenia Space PR) — Thales Alenia Space, a Joint Venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), has recently been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) in coordination and with the agreement of the European Commission, for major Copernicus missions.
Copernicus is the core satellite Earth observation program of the European Commission and the European Space Agency ESA. It provides Earth observation data for environmental protection, climate monitoring, natural disaster assessment and other social tasks.
Six New Missions for the European Copernicus Earth Observation Program
On 1 July 2020, the European Space Agency awarded contracts for the development and construction of six further Copernicus satellites.
Contracts with a value of more than 800 million euro are being awarded to space companies in Germany, a high percentage of which are SMEs.
The new satellites are intended to help find answers to the global challenges posed by climate change, population growth and environmental problems.
BONN, Germany (DLR PR) — Sentinel satellites are at the heart of Copernicus, Europe's largest Earth observation programme. Sentinels are already reliably and continuously providing large amounts of data on the state of the climate, vegetation and oceans. Now, six more 'Earth Guardians', the High Priority Candidate Missions (HPCM), are being added.

23 Egyptian nationals kidnapped in Brega, freed and sent back home
REUTERS/Esam Omran Al-Fetori
Egypt's state television reported Friday that 23 Egyptian workers kidnapped in Libya have been freed and returned to their country.
The workers, who had been taken hostage 10 days earlier, were freed by "Libyan special forces in coordination with the Egyptian general intelligence service," the state TV said.
In an interview at a border crossing between Egypt and Libya, one of the released hostages said they had been kidnapped by people demanding ransom.
The state TV aired footage of the workers arriving at the border crossing. They waved Egyptian flags.
Egypt's government has warned citizens seeking employment not to travel to Libya, which has been gripped by unrest over the past few years. However, thousands of Egyptians choose the war-torn country for jobs.
In February, the United Nations warned against the expansion of the IS terrorist groups in Libya.
The terrorists released footage in February 2015 showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians kidnapped in Libya.
Forces loyal to Libya's Government of National Accord have been engaged in a battle for the city of Sirte for the past several weeks to eradicate Is militants from there.

My Lumia 920 just returned from Nokia after dust in FCC and crackling body. It seems they fixed those problems, but now I get dust between the both sides of screen and the phone's body. Don't know if it's a design flaw with nail thick spaces between those two, or they just added me a problem. Should I send it to Nokia again and hopefully get a brand new unit?
Last edited by Sutter Kain; 03-29-2013 at 07:07 AM.
If you believe they've damaged it then of course you need to contact Nokia for this and get it done properly.
The case is - is it normal that dust accumulates in spaces between the screen and rest of the phone?
I have the same issue... But I bought the CC-1043 case and it fits the phone like a glove and you can no longer see the gaps on the sides and I am sure it will prevent further dust build up in those gaps. Hope this helps! Also the case is only $11.99 on Amazon, it is quite a steal!
Ok, but I don't want to use a case. I'm asking because I can't compare my Lumia to another unit - none of my friends or family have one.
The gap shouldn't be nail big! If it is, it will get dust.
Thanks rockstarzzz! After easter I'll send it back to Nokia.
Light leaking between screen and polycarbonate?

10 Possible Looks For Jared Leto's Joker
How the hell do you follow Heath Ledger?
The Joker is one of the most recognisable and iconic villains in comic books, and actors like Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger have ensured that he's also one of cinema's most memorable bad guys too. In 2016's Suicide Squad and beyond, it will fall to Academy Award winning actor Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) to offer a new take on the classic Batman foe. Both Suicide Squad director David Ayer and Leto himself have been teasing the actor's transformation via their respective social media accounts, but an official look at The Joker has yet to be revealed (and probably won't be until after production begins next month). His appearance will have already been decided though, but just how closely will the newly formed DC Cinematic Universe stick to the comic books? Since being introduced in 1940, The Joker has gone through a number of transformations, and any one of them could be what ends up making it onto the big screen next year. Which would best suit Leto and why? Here, you'll find ten of the most iconic and obscure looks of the Clown Prince of Crime from the last 75 years or so, along with an explanation of why they worked in the comic books/video games and how that could translate to Suicide Squad and beyond with Leto.

Heal's furniture store in Kingston are hosting a lino-printing workshop this Saturday in collaboration with an award-winning artist from Surbiton.
The event is happening this Saturday (March 30) at Heal's Kingston store from 11am, and will feature Surbiton artist Debbie Chessell.
The event will look at the history of lino printing and also give attendees the chance to carve their own print, to be stamped onto a tote canvas bag which they can take home with them.
Speaking to the Surrey Comet, Ms Chessell said that she was inspired to work with Heal's largely thanks to their significance in the design world.
Ms Chessell said: "Heal's have been going since 1810 and they've been known throughout their history to revolutionize design.
"They're really big in the design world and because they're so well known for transforming design I decided to run a workshop that focuses on revolutionary relief printers."
She added that she was inspired by the revolutionary artist and activist William Morris—saying she hoped the workshop, which will feature bite-sized doses of art history on influential artists including Morris, would give everyone who attended an idea about where some of our modern conceptions about print design were born.
"We're focusing on designers like William Morris who was really radical for his time...everyone at the workshop is going to make their own Victorian-inspired lino print design and print them onto a luxury canvas bag," Ms Chessell said.
Heal's began life in 1810 as a small family business before opening a department store on Tottenham Court Road.
During the company's existence they won renown for championing innovation in furniture and art design, such as Ambrose Heal's famous "Owl" cabinet design from 1904.

A.	If the documents submitted are sufficient to comply with the requirements of the law, regulations and stipulations, the Chairperson of the Siting Board will issue a letter to the applicant advising that the documents submitted constitute a complying application. The Chairperson will also fix the date for the commencement of a public hearing and the Department of Environmental Conservation will initiate its review pursuant to federally delegated or approved environmental permitting authority or air and water permit applications. Within a reasonable time, the presiding examiner will hold a prehearing conference to expedite the orderly conduct and completion of the hearing, to specify the issues, to obtain stipulations as to matters not disputed, and to deal with other matters deemed appropriate. The presiding examiner will then issue an order identifying the issues to be addressed by the parties. Later in the proceeding there may also be a consideration of additional issues which warrant consideration in order to develop an adequate record.
A.	A notice of availability of the funds will be issued providing a schedule and related information. The notice will describe how municipal and local parties may apply for intervenor funds. Requests must be submitted to the presiding examiner within 30 days after the issuance of the notice by filing the request with the Secretary and submitting a copy to the presiding examiner and to the other parties to the proceeding. At any pre-hearing conference that may be held to consider fund requests, the parties should be prepared to discuss their funding applications and the award of funds. Parties are encouraged to consider consolidating their requests with similar funding proposals made by other parties.
A.	It is expected that both public statement hearings and trial-type evidentiary hearings will be held. In addition, persons are permitted to make a limited appearance.

Tobacco withdrawal amongst african american, hispanic, and white smokers
© The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco. Introduction: Persistent tobacco use among racial and ethnic minority populations in the United States is a critical public health concern. Yet, potential sources of racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use remain unclear. The present study examined racial/ethnic differences in tobacco withdrawal-a clinically-relevant underpinning of tobacco use that has received sparse attention in the disparities literature-utilizing a controlled laboratory design. Methods: Daily smokers (non-Hispanic African American [n = 178], non-Hispanic white [n = 118], and Hispanic [n = 28]) attended two counterbalanced sessions (non-abstinent vs. 16-hour abstinent). At both sessions, self-report measures of urge, nicotine withdrawal, and affect were administered and performance on an objective behavioral task that assessed motivation to reinstate smoking was recorded. Abstinence-induced changes (abstinent scores vs. non-abstinent scores) were analyzed as a function of race/ethnicity. Results: Non-Hispanic African American smokers reported greater abstinence-induced declines in several positive affect states in comparison to other racial/ethnic groups. Relative to Hispanic smokers, non-Hispanic African American and non-Hispanic white smokers displayed larger abstinence-provoked increases in urges to smoke. No racial/ethnic differences were detected for a composite measure of nicotine withdrawal symptomatology, negative affect states, and motivation to reinstate smoking behavior. Conclusions: These results suggest qualitative differences in the expression of some components of tobacco withdrawal across three racial/ethnic groups. This research helps shed light on biobehavioral sources of tobacco-related health disparities, informs the application of smoking cessation interventions across racial/ethnic groups, and may ultimately aid the overall effort towards reducing the public health burden of tobacco addiction in minority populations. Implications: The current study provides some initial evidence that there may be qualitative differences in the types of tobacco withdrawal symptoms experienced among non-Hispanic African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white smokers. Extending this line of inquiry may elucidate mechanisms involved in tobacco-related health disparities and ultimately aid in reducing the public health burden of smoking in racial/ethnic minority populations.

I've loved Google's popular iOS keyboard app, Gboard, since it first came out. Being able to swipe to type and quickly do Google searches in emails and text messages has been extremely useful. The only thing the keyboard alternative has been lacking was the ability to perform voice typing tasks. With a recent update to the app, though, you can now do exactly that, and more.
To activate the voice typing capability, all you have to do is press the spacebar on the virtual keyboard for a second. Your screen will move over to a dictation app, listen for you to speak, and then transcribe your words into text. The engine isn't perfect yet, but neither is Siri or Apple's voice-to-text recognition. Even so, it's pretty good, and might even beat out Apple's own offering.
Apple continuously adds new emoji to its already expansive collection, and third-party keyboards have to provide updates to keep up. Google has always been on top of this game, and Gboard 1.3 brings the latest iOS 10 emoji into the fold.
Google reports that Gboard now supports 15 new languages. Those include Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Catalan, Hungarian, Malay, Russian, Latin American Spanish, and Turkish. The additions should make many non-English speakers happy, and the app reports that even more languages are coming soon.
One of Google's funnest features is the Doodle, updates to the search giant's logo whenever there's a special date like a holiday, event, or famous birthday. Gboard 1.3 now supports Google Doodles. If you see the "G" button animate, tap on it to see that day's Doodle.
That's just a snapshot of the things you can do with Gboard. Of course, you can still send Google search results to your contacts, search your address book, get nearby stores and restaurants, and even pull in the latest weather forecast. As long as Google keeps updating this keyboard alternative, it's going to remain one of the most popular choices on the App Store.
Gboard requires iOS 9.0 or later, and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. For even more fun alternatives to the stock iOS keyboard, check out Robin Rhys's collection of the best sticker and GIF keyboard apps.
