"Taliban Investigation Widens, No Access Given to Prisoners"
"Archbishop Milingo's wife protests, and allegations pile up against Frost."
Todd Hertz| August 1, 2001
Confusion swirls in Afghanistan
Taliban leaders announced Sunday that the foreign aid workers arrested last week would be released after serving short jail sentences, but they have already changed their minds. Reports from Afghanistan are saying now that the eight Shelter Now workers from Australia, Germany, and the United States will face trial by Islamic Shari'ah law.
This comes as the Taliban has also announced they are broadening the investigation of aid groups in the country. According to the Associated Press, any aid organizations suspected of teaching Christianity will be scrutinized by three Taliban ministries—security, vice and virtue, and intelligence.
Meanwhile, diplomats from the three countries are still waiting to get into the country. Reuters reports that their visas have finally been approved this morning and they will leave for Kabul tomorrow. Taliban officials have told them that they will not be given access to prisoners but will only be allowed to meet with officials.
This weekend, the Taliban released 65 boys who were being taught by the Shelter Now workers. They were detained to have the Christianity taught out of them. When authorities released them, they arrested the boys' fathers instead for not supervising their sons properly.
Archbishop's wife plans to starve at the Vatican
Zambian archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, who went to the Vatican last week to meet with the Pope is apparently now on a spiritual retreat somewhere in Italy. But his wife—whom he married in a Unification Church mass wedding—thinks the Vatican is keeping him from her and is prepared to die to get him back. She has pledged to fast to death in front of the Vatican unless Milingo is returned to her.
Anybody else want to accuse Frost?
Another accusation of plagiarism has been leveled at Trinity Law School Dean Winston L. Frost and his article, "The Developing Human Rights Discourse: A History of the Human Rights Movement." Frost was first accused of filching material from an encyclopedia, and then not using a work he cited. Now, Trinity officials have begun looking into Jerome J. Shestack's claim that Frost used a 1983 human-rights report written by Shestack "word for word in tons of places," according to the Los Angeles Times.
Frost's lawyer is still looking into the accusations but has said that sloppy editing by a student editor allegedly caused the errors in Frost's article.
Analysis and reaction to Bush's decision continue
As Congress gears up for the aftermath of President's Bush's stem-cell research proposal, analysis and reaction to the plan continues. The battle in Congress will begin in September but could last into 2002 or longer.
The Washington Post reports that the plan was designed to appease conservatives while scientists are wondering how it will impact their work. The New York Times focused yesterday on the split reaction by pro-life advocates.
Meanwhile, Bush's appointment to head the new council overseeing stem-cell research, Dr. Leon Kass, has been getting good reviews as "a strong crusader."
"Darker Side" of believing has health side effects
The New York Times reports that studies over the last half decade have shown that people who are religiously active enjoy longer lives, but a new study proves it may also shorten some lives.
Researchers contend, in a study being released today, that religious anxiety may increase the risk of death among the ill. According to the article:
The researchers, who surveyed 596 elderly hospitalized patients in 1996, found that those who said they "wondered whether God had abandoned me," "questioned God's love for me" or "decided the devil made this happen" were more likely two years later to have died than patients who did not endorse such statements. The patients in the study were almost exclusively Christian, with the majority representing conservative or mainline Protestant denominations.

This study estimates long-run impacts of a child health investment, exploiting community-wide experimental variation in school-based deworming. The program increased education among women and labor supply among men, with accompanying shifts in labor market specialization. Ten years after deworming treatment, women who were eligible as girls are 25% more likely to have attended secondary school, halving the gender gap. They reallocate time from traditional agriculture into cash crops and entrepreneurship. Men who were eligible as boys stay enrolled for more years of primary school, work 17% more hours each week, spend more time in entrepreneurship, are more likely to hold manufacturing jobs, and miss one fewer meal per week. We estimate an annualized financial internal rate of return of at least 32.2%.

Should China build mega-cities or a network of linked middle-sized metropolises? Can Europe's mid-sized cities compete with global agglomeration by forging stronger inter-urban links? This paper examines these questions within a model of recombinant growth and endogenous local amenities. Three primary factors determine the trade-off between networks and big cities: local returns to scale in innovation, the elasticity of housing supply, and the importance of local amenities. Even if there are global increasing returns, the returns to local scale in innovation may be decreasing, and that makes networks more appealing than mega-cities. Inelastic housing supply makes it harder to supply more space in dense confines, which perhaps explains why networks are more popular in regulated Europe than in the American Sunbelt. Larger cities can dominate networks because of amenities, as long as the benefits of scale overwhelm the downsides of density. In our framework, the skilled are more likely to prefer mega-cities than the less skilled, and the long-run benefits of either mega-cities or networks may be quite different from the short-run benefits.

No matter what kind of business you are in, you need to optimize for local search.
… and if you can ensure that you are leading on local search you are going to end up with a huge audience. So, how do you do that?
There are several things that you can do to optimize your business for local SEO. Here are some tips.
Claim your business listing. You would be surprised how many businesses fail to complete this one, very simple step. If you want Google to list you locally, you need to let them know that you are there. Make sure that you are claiming your business listing for each of your locations.
Google My Business is an online directory that holds hundreds of thousands of different business listings. But it's not just any online directory. Many consider it to be the best because it's run by the mega magnate Google, and millions of people perform searches on Google every day. Of course there are other search engines, and many of them are very useful and are also used by consumers every day. But there's no doubt that Google is the biggest, so when they offer free marketing to business owners, why wouldn't they take it?
And along with finding the information they were looking for, consumers can also see a description of your business, photos, videos, and reviews that will be just as effective as personal recommendations. The customer will have so much more information than they would get by just calling you.
Google My Business makes you more visible to customers even when they are on the street, right in the same neighborhood as your business.

Ahmed Seddiqi family donates Dhs10m to Covid-19 medical research in the UAE
Dubai-headquartered Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons are one of the world's biggest luxury watch and jewellery retailers
by Varun Godinho
The Dubai-based Ahmed Seddiqi family, one of the world's biggest luxury watch and jewellery retailers, has donated Dhs10m to the Al Jalila Foundation to fund medical research in the UAE focused on Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.
The Al Jalilia Foundation, a member of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, was established in 2013 and has since then invested over Dhs25m in medical research and awarded 95 research grants and eight international research fellowships to address the region's biggest health challenges: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and mental health.
It has now decided to expand its field of research into Covid-19 which has infected over three million people worldwide and killed over 217,000 people, according to global Covid-19 tracking website Worldometer.

— Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) April 28, 2020
"The world is going through a very challenging time and we salute the healthcare workers on the frontlines working tirelessly to save lives. We have been working closely with Al Jalila Foundation over the years and we are honoured to support the organisation's mission to advance medical research in the UAE," said Abdul Hamied Ahmed Seddiqi, vice chairman of Seddiqi Holding.

"It is our national duty to safeguard the health and safety of our people and continue to uphold the values of philanthropy, compassion and service to humanity instilled by our forefathers," added Abdul Ahmed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Abdulkareem Sultan Al Olama, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation, expressed his gratitude to the Seddiqi family and said: "We are extremely grateful for this significant donation from the Ahmed Seddiqi family who, like us, believe that investing in medical research is critical to the longevity and sustainability of future generations. The world has changed significantly and as we go through this critical phase, we are depending on science to save lives. Now more than ever we are counting on scientists and doctors coming together to develop better diagnostic testing, treatments, and gain a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 biology to combat the disease."
The Al Jalila Foundation has already established its first independent multi-disciplinary biomedical research institute with an investment of Dhs200m solely funded by philanthropic partners.
In February, the foundation launched 'Bassmat Rashid Bin Saeed' – dedicated to the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum – to address the healthcare needs in the UAE. Bassmat is the Arabic word for 'fingerprint' and the foundation says that it signifies the power donors have to leave a mark on the future of medicine through this fundraising campaign.
"This pandemic has united the world like never before. Now more than ever, scientists around the world continue to search for answers into the causes, prevention and treatment of diseases affecting mankind with the coronavirus taking centre stage. Our investment in medical research reaffirms our commitment to embed research and innovation in the fabric of the nation's long-term healthcare strategy and to adapt to the changing landscape. Medical research has the potential to save lives and our efforts today will pave the way for a healthier world for future generations," said Dr. Raja Easa Al Gurg, chairperson of the board of directors and member of the board of trustees of Al Jalila Foundation.
On April 15, the Dubai's Covid-19 Command and Control Center (CCC) confirmed the completion of the first full genome sequencing of the Covid-19 virus.

The sequencing from a patient in Dubai was performed by researchers at the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences.
In the UAE, the Covid-19 virus has infected 11,380 people, resulting in 89 deaths. Also, 2,181 people have recovered from the disease.

The Carbon Tax Center (CTC) was launched in New York City last week. Its mission is to advocate for those who believe that taxing CO2 emissions is important to stabilizing the effects of global warming.
Specifically, the group aims to educate policymakers, opinion leaders, and the public about the benefits of carbon tax emissions from fossil fuels. CTC believes a carbon tax system would be stronger than a cap-and-trade system because of its "predictability, immediacy, transparency, universality, and equity."
The Carbon Tax Center was co-founded by Charles Komanoff and Daniel Rosenblum.

March 2008 – The Venice Beat Poets – The Great River Outside The Mainstream – Philomene Long
By Jim Smith
Philomene Long came late to the party, but she soon made up for lost time with her dynamic personality and soaring poetry. The Beat scene was a decade old when she arrived in Venice, but Long gave it new life and energy.
Readers of the Beachhead will know that her death last August resulted in an outpouring of articles and poems reflecting the great love and esteem in which she was held by our community.
She was born in another bohemian community, Greenwich Village, along with her identical twin Pegarty Long. After growing up in San Diego, she decided to become a Catholic nun and lived in a convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet for five years.
After climbing over the convent wall one night, Long traveled extensively in Europe and had two children, Maureen and Patrick, before settling in Venice in 1968. Here she met Beat Poet Stuart Perkoff, and became his steady companion. When he died in 1974, she was at his bedside.
Long continued to write. Some of her books published over the years included The Queen of Bohemia, American Zen Bones, and with John Thomas, The Book of Sleep, The Ghosts of Venice West and Bukowski in the Bathtub. An excerpt from her unpublished novel, Memoirs of a Nun on Fire, appears in The Outlaw Bible of America Poetry. She also made films and acted, often collaborating with her sister, Filmmaker Pegarty Long. Her films include The Beats: An Existential Comedy, with Allen Ginsburg and The California Missions with Martin Sheen.
In 1974, Long began the study of Zen with Master Maezumi Roshi. She continued with him until his death in 1995. She later described herself as a Zen Catholic. Roshi gave Long her Zen name "Gyokuho" (fragrant jewel). He said, "Your fragrance will permeate the universe. But there is a reverse side to this as well – Don't Be Stinky!" (American Zen Bones)
In 1983, she married Poet John Thomas (see February Beachhead, page 9). Long and Thomas were together until his death in 2002. They lived in the Ellison Apartments at Paloma Avenue and Speedway for many years. "Cold Ellison" became a theme of a number of Long's poems.
In 2005, she was recognized as the Poet Laureate of Venice by the Los Angeles City Council.
Long's poetry combines a descriptive love of her community with a Zen sensibility that often takes her poems in directions that are both surprising and pleasurable to the reader. Jack Kerouac's concept of beatitude also had a profound influence on Long. Kerouac said that "Beat" stemmed from beatitude, which he defined as "trying to love all life, trying to be utterly sincere with everyone, practicing endurance, kindness, cultivating joy of heart…"
Philomene Long is generally recognized as one of the major women poets of the Beat Generation. Even though the Beat milieu was dominated by men, many with inflated egos, she gave no quarter. It has been said that Long "filled up a room" when she entered, by virtue of the force of her personality. She was friends with Allan Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Charles Bukowski, Wanda Coleman, and with Venice poets Tony Scibella, Frank Rios, and others.
At an inauguration ceremony for Councilmember Bill Rosendahl at Windward Plaza in 2005, Long was invited to read the poem she had written for the occasion (see Beachhead, August 2005). Much of the poem was a paean to the glory of Venice. When she read it at L.A. City Hall, to the City Council, at Rosendahl's invitation, its celebration of Venichismo caused shock and consternation among the Los Angeles officials.
Their reaction must have pleased Philomene, who once wrote: There is no comfort/In the poem./Expect to be seared/But to have entry.
Stained with the blood of poets
City which lies
Beneath the breasts of birds
Guarded by cats
Behind every corner
The Muse, Angel of Surprise
Poems out of pavement cracks
–Philomene Long
Her poem, reproduced on the Venice Poetry Wall in Windward Plaza

Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer
THE LAST YEARS OF FREDERICK GROVER, GARDENER TO GEORGE STURT
The last years of Frederick Grover and his epileptic wife Lucy are movingly but unsentimentally chronicled by George Sturt in "Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer" published in 1907. In the Memoirs various individuals are given pseudonyms and it must be remembered that Sturt himself wrote his earlier books under the name of George Bourne. Some cross reference with the Journals is helpful. In this article I make reference to 'Fred' except in extracts from the Memoirs where Sturt refers to him as 'Bettesworth'.
The 'Memoirs' cover the period from December 1892 until Fred's death on July 25 1905 during which he worked as a gardener to Sturt at Vine Cottage and entertained his employer with his "pleasant garrulity" and "queer anecdotes and shrewd observations" of a way of life which all but lost by the end of the nineteenth century. While recording fragments of his conversation, Sturt never let on that he had made Fred the subject of a book as this knowledge "would send him boastfully drinking about the parish and make him intolerable to his familiars and useless to any employer".
With Lucy's history of epilepsy, Fred started to look for a cottage near to his work. In October 1899 he and Lucy moved into what is now Little Willows Cottage. Sturt describes the setting
"One of the steep and narrow lanes mentioned above is that which runs down beside this garden where Bettesworth's work lay. Within (his) memory it afforded access even for a wagon right down to 'the Lake' and so over into the meadow opposite; but the last hundred yards of it, from Mrs Skinner's cottage downwards, have long been washed out into a mere foot-track, deeply sunk between its banks, swooping down precipitously to the stream level, and scarce two feet wide……Then the footpath winds along to the left (eastwards) having the cliff on one hand and the stream on the other, to a wider stretch, until with this for its best approach you come to a little hovel of three rooms and a lean to shed, standing with its back walls close against the sandy cliff……After emerging from the gully the public footpath runs close in front of the doorway of the place, leaving some eight feet of garden between itself and the stream"
Sturt admitted to having reservations over Fred's decision to take the tenancy but, sensing his employee's dogged defiance, thought better of expressing his concerns.
Much of Fred's earlier life was unknown to Sturt and it wasn't until 1902 that he discovered that Fred had signed up at sixteen and served a year and eight months with the 'Forty-eighth' in the Crimean War. His memories of savage cold and starvation were vivid; -being supplied with "boots big enough to get into with your shoes on" and graves so shallow that the feet of the dead quickly became exposed. The only coffin he saw was Lord Raglan's, whose funeral procession he described as being "seven miles long". Unbeknown to Sturt, Fred had previously attended two grand dinners for veterans of the Crimea, but in 1903 he decided not to attend, sensing perhaps that he would be one of the last of the surviving veterans "among a few kiddies from Aldershot".
Also in 1903, having been unable to get repairs done on Little Willows, Fred resolved to move away. When one of three cottages on the hillside opposite and, ideally, within view of Vine Cottage became available, Fred obtained the tenancy of one of these on Sturt's recommendation. Only later did Sturt realise his mistake, not having seen Lucy for some months nor entered Little Willows. Lucy was "going about unwashed, grimy, like a dreadful apparition of poverty from the middle ages" Her epilepsy had impaired her intellect and a broken wrist that had never healed satisfactorily impaired her ability to cope with the daily chores of living. The couple were given formal notice to quit. Following a period of great anxiety for them both, Sturt succeeded, with difficulty, in renting a cottage owned by a retired bricklayer which he then sublet to them.
Between 3 March and 16 May, Fred contracted bronchitis and, with Lucy unable to provide him with nursing care, the couple were admitted to the workhouse infirmary. Sturt reports "how fervently everybody hoped, then, that Bettesworth would leave his wife behind, if he ever came out of the institution himself alive" In the event, the two walked the two mile journey home on the day before Good Friday; they two together, not to be separated.
The late summer and early autumn of 1904 was a stressful time for Fred. Lucy's deteriorating health required him to make various visits: to the relieving officer for orders for medical attendance, to the doctor and finally to order a 'fly' to transport Lucy to the infirmary .In his Journals (pg 442-443) Sturt refers to his niece, Lou and a neighbour Mrs Edwards trying and failing to dress the old lady and the darkly humorous journey to the Infirmary. On 27 September, not having regained consciousness since entering the infirmary, Lucy died. In laying out his wife "all that he did and said, so simple and unaffected and necessary, was done as if it were an act of worship"
Fred, looking "very dignified, showing a quiet, unaffected patience" was accompanied by Sturt to the funeral on 1 October
"There were but few people present: four or five relatives besides the bearers and the undertaker and sexton; while a young woman (Mrs Porter) with her little boy Tim stood in the background, she carrying a wreath she had made. She is a near neighbour to us, and a very impoverished. One to whom the old man has shown what kindness has been in his power; while she on many mornings has called him into her cottage at breakfast time to give him a cup of hot tea"
Until his admission to the Infirmary on 9 February for a month, Fred, with failing eyesight and increasingly missing his Lucy, worked with Sturt at Vine Cottage planting, grubbing up tree roots and laying turf. The relationship drifts between simple enjoyment of shared work and talk of village life to mutual grumbling and irritation – Sturt expresses irritation at the old man's growing habit of repeating himself and hogging their conversations – "Bettesworth's talk went drivelling on. Was he really getting dull"?
On leaving the Infirmary, Fred surrendered his fiercely cherished independence to move in with his nephew and niece Tom and Lou Grover (given the pseudonyms Jack and Liz in The Memoirs), where he was looked after as he had not been for some years. On his last visit to Vine Cottage on 17 May, Frederick sat with Sturt in the garden and conversed about the neighbours, the passing of traditional crafts and an unusual shortage of local employment. Not long after, Sturt records that "for the first time in my acquaintance with Bettesworth I had to search for topics of conversation". Later, asking the doctor if he would give him something to "help me away from here" and getting the response 'Where do you want to go to?', Bettesworth replied "Up top o' Gravel Hill to the churchyard"
Returning from his penultimate visit to Fred, Sturt meets an old road mender at work
"straightening up from his work as I passed (he) asked 'Can ye keep yerself warm sir?'. And I laughed 'Pretty nearly. How about you?' 'It boils out' he said. The perspiration stood on his face while he spoke of motor- cars and the dust they raised; but to me dust and swift travelling cars and all seemed to tell of summer afternoon. And though the reason is obscure, somehow it seems fit that possibly my last talk with Bettesworth should be associated with the blue distant English country and the summer dust, and that sunburnt old folk jest which consists in asking, when it is so particularly and exhilaratingly warm as to-day ' Can you keep yourself warm?'
The last entry – "July 28 (Friday) This afternoon I went to the funeral."
Having located where Fred and Lucy were buried in unmarked graves in the Old Churchyard, The Bourne Conservation Group have erected two notices that read as follows:-
Fred Grover
'Bettesworth in his prime was ready for any task that came to hand: and the harder the work, the more he rejoiced in his strength to wrestle with it. For thirty years – or forty is nearer the truth, he lived this varied life, careless, confident and strong. He is a type of his class. His talk is full of anecdote about neighbours as capable, as energetic, as resourceful as himself. This one is the best well sinker… another excels in making ladders; a third has a supreme value as a carter. It seems as though destiny has decreed that this class of men, by centuries of incalculable struggle and valiant endurance, should prepare England's soil not for themselves, but for the reaping machine and the jerry-builder."
Taken from George Sturt's Bettesworth Book [published 1901]
Lucy Grover
"Her black straw hat is shaped like an inverted bowl, and has a drooping brim… observe the grey hair how it straggles out below the hat brim… there is neither regularity of length to it nor evenness of disposal. She is short of stature, but if you can peer under the hat brim… the face there, though placid and kindly, is somehow hardly in keeping with our modern times. It is short and broad; the eyes in it have a dark unspeculative gleam; the teeth have gone and the lips have fallen in yet are held tightly together…. Her face is the face of the fields: it is unhomely, undomesticated. The old woman is far removed from comeliness. She seems too unlovely to be loved. (She) has played her infinitesimal yet vital part in the doings of the English…She has a brave record, although for details there is little beyond surmise to go upon. One or two incidents, one or two allusions to her by her husband – that is all the foundation one has on which to build up an account of her life."

Why is Daenerys called a foreign invader by Randyll Tarly?
In GoT Season 7 Episode 5 - Eastwatch, before Randyll Tarly
and his son are incinerated by Drogon,
he asks Tyrion why he is supporting a foreign invader.
The Targaryens were ruling Westeros from King's Landing hundreds of years before and the Baratheon dynasty is probably not more than 20 years old.
He actually seem to have fought on the Targaryen side, during Robert's Rebellion (something that the TV series doesn't show) but the Battle of Ashford is why he one of the great commanders in Westeros.
So why does he claim Dany to be a foreign invader when she is actually the daughter of the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen?
game-of-thrones
GoT_fan1GoT_fan1
Doesn't he explain that in the dialogue? – Paulie_D Aug 15 '17 at 10:33
Rickon...? Dickon... got a laugh every time in our house. – disassociated Aug 15 '17 at 10:48
Essentially, although technically Danaerys is Westeros-born...having been born on Dragonstone she spent most of her life on Essos.
Then she brings a barbarian horde of Dothraki, Essos Unsullied and Dorne allies to invade Westeros.
"One with no ties to this land; with an army of savages at her back."
Randyll can a very inflexible person when he believes himself right and so, to him, this makes her a foreign invader and he couldn't accept rule by a foreigner.
Paulie_DPaulie_D
I would expand this mentioning that in the minds of many westerosi lords, the Targaryens are invasors from a foreign land, no matter how long has passed since that first invasion (at least, in the show it seems so, I have no idea how this is explored in the books) – Federico Aug 15 '17 at 12:23
Randyll arc was kind of foreshadowed when Sam brings Gilly to Horn Hill. He considered her to a foreign savage as well.... – Skooba Aug 15 '17 at 12:54
@Federico The Targaryens over time did build up local mixing and alliances through marriage and all that. Baratheons after all come from Orys Baratheon, also a Valyrian ancestor, and had domain over a kingdom (Stormlands). On top of that, Velaryons, Hightowers, Arryns, Harroways, Strongs, Martells, Daynes, Darrys, they all had some family ties to the Targaryens (and nearly Lannister of course). The North is fairly isolationist, but that's a quirk of the North, it doesn't seem as pronounced elsewhere. Much of this is glossed over in the show of course. – DariM Aug 15 '17 at 21:37
@Federico: the Targaryens are invasors from a foreign land, no matter how long has passed since that first invasion That first invasion created Westeros. Before the invasion, Westeros did not exist (not as a unified nation, at least). Therefore, the Westerosi aren't really opposed to Aegon's invasion, which is literally the founding of their country as they know it. Targaryens have recently become hated due to the Mad King's crimes. But they were historically accepted as rulers before the Mad King. – Flater Aug 21 '17 at 10:29
@DariM but that's a quirk of the North, it doesn't seem as pronounced elsewhere Dorne seems similarly isolated. They shared some ties (Rhaegar-Elia), but they are politically separated (still calling themselves kings and princes without objection from the Iron Throne, for example). – Flater Aug 21 '17 at 10:32

Victor Osimhen: "I was cleaning gutters for 20 Naira"
by Tolulope Ayeni October 18, 2021, 11:49 am
Victor Osimhen has revealed his 'grass to grace' story, revealing how he performed menial jobs in order to survive before his journey into professional football.
The Super Eagles star is currently enjoying a good run of form for Serie A side Napoli where he has managed five goals from six appearances, has revealed he used to do menial jobs like cleaning gutters, fetching water to survive.
"Most people are familiar when I say this because they have come through even worse [situations] than mine and where I grew up, nothing is promised there because whatever you want to get, you have to work so hard for it," he said as quoted by Head Topics.
"I remember when I was growing up, I was cleaning the gutters for 20 Naira, for my landlord and did some cleaning jobs for my neighbours close to my house, fetch water for 80 Naira, I think.
"I found pleasure in doing these things because I believed when I worked so hard to get this money, it was important for me. I had consciousness on how to spend this money and help my family.
"While growing up, my brother was selling newspapers, my sister oranges. I was in the traffic with water and I'd had to chase cars, give them water to get the money. I feel like these struggles helped me in life.
"I am grateful for where I am today because of what I'd been through, it shaped me into the man I am. I am really grateful to God for that."
On his journey to stardom, the striker said: "It all started like a dream, a boyhood dream from the slum and I feel like I have achieved this feat, it's one of my biggest achievements in life."

Another day another footwear company allegedly stealing ideas from a competitor, as adidas and adidas America have filed a federal lawsuit against ASICS America, claiming that the company has infringed on 10 fitness tracking patents.
According to the lawsuit, the American extension of Japan-based ASICS is "knowingly and intentionally" continuing to sell products that infringe on technology that adidas has invented, centering around applications that collect fitness activity and provide training plans.
In addition, the suit also mentions FitnessKeeper Inc., a digital fitness company acquired by ASICS in 2016. adidas is hoping that the court will put a stop to ASICS America's infringement on the patents, as they are also seeking damages.
The lawsuit was filed on Friday in a federal court in Delaware. Back in 2014 adidas filed a lawsuit against Under Armour, mirroring similar issues.

how can I make code lookup case insensitive?
I try regular expression and fail.Code as following:
 public interface ProductRepository extends GraphRepository<Product>{

       @Query(value="start product=node:productCode(code=~{0}) return product")
        public Set<Product> findProducts(String code);

I know one way works but the performance will be not good, the code as following:
 public interface ProductRepository extends GraphRepository<Product>{
       @Query(value="start product=node:__types__(className='Product') where product.code='~{0}' return product")
                public Set<Product> findProducts(String code);
            }

A: One way would be to try and use where clause with regular expressions:

In addition to providing resin to light fires, glue, syrup for sweetening food and bark for medicinal use, trees make it possible to build boats, fences, carts, stairs, ladders, frames and many different kinds of tools. As for the proverbial log cabin, barns and other structures, builders should think twice about using the material, since the forests of the world may amount to an endangered species. A decade of mega-wildfires in North America, Australia, southern Europe and Russia has added to the already dire situation of clearcutting, and in some areas (like California) the ravage of the bark beetles and other insects has steadily creeped through the forests.
Fortunately, there's an almost infinite supply of silicates beneath our feet, so adobe brick and other forms of earth-based construction will make more sense in the years ahead. See the links to the right for info on sustainable building alternatives.
Woods are generally divided into hardwoods and softwoods, each suitable to different applications. Hardwoods include oak, maple, walnut, ash, mahogany, red alder, cherry, beech, hickory, elm, chestnut yellow birch, balsa, ebony, teak, balsa, apple and the yellow poplar. Softwoods come from conifer trees and include pine, cedar, fir, yew and the European redwood. Trees heavy in oils, like the eucalyptus, are not used in construction (although the eucalyptus has many medicinal uses).
Historically trees were felled with axes and long, two-handled pit saws. The circular saw was invented in the 18th century by a Quaker woman, and requires some form of crank or power generation in order to work. The first sawmill was powered by a waterwheel in Asia Minor in the third century, incorporating a crank and connecting rods, as shown in the photo below.
Ancient sawmill with two saws (A & B)
A variety of carving tools, chisels and files have been developed over time, originally with stone and later with different metals (especially steel), in order to shape wooden objects. From wood you can create food and storage bowls, clubs for weapons, sharp points for traps, poles, tool handles, wheels and gears, and curved instruments like bows. A basic knowledge of joinery is indispensable when it comes to piecing your parts together, especially in the event you don't have access to nails, screws or other metal hardware. By softening wood in water, you can shape the material to make curves and semi-circles.
The construction technology departments at most community colleges offer courses in framing carpentry and cabinet work. Local hobby shops will help you learn how to carve and shape wood with a myriad of hand tools. You'll want to pay close attention during any lessons on how to sharpen your tools, since that will make a world of difference in the time and effort required to complete any project you undertake.
In the backcountry, durable footwear and clothing are procured from the hide of animals, just as they have since the Stone Age. Deerskin is considered one of the best leathers around, due to this animal's adaptation to thorny and thicket-filled habitats. (Snakes, alligators, birds, furry animals and sheep wool provide other options for outfitting.)
Since any animal's hide can quickly decompose after it dies, the first step is to quickly convert it into leather by "tanning" it. To do this, the skin and hair are soaked (preferably in brine or salt water or urine) in order to kill bacteria and prevent putrification. Use hot water only if you want to harden the material, say for the soles of moccasins, or a saddle. For regular uses, keep the water cool and soak it only as long as needed. Otherwise it will shrink and discolor.
When the hair comes off the hide easily in your hands, you can remove it from the water. While it's still wet, lay it across a flat rock or log (with the bark removed) and scrape both sides with a bone, dull blade or other makeshift tool. Don't over-scrape the hide in the quest to remove every single imperfection. Keeping the grain in its natural state will preserve the durability of the leather. This natural grain also breathes better, making it more comfortable to wear.
Next, rub the material with a simmered mixture of equal parts animal fat and brains. You heat up this combination, then let it cool down before applying it. After rubbing the fat and brain mixture into the hide, leave the newly created leather alone for several days. Then wash it and gently wring out the moisture. Pull, rub and stretch leather while it's drying to prevent it from shrinking and stiffening - except in the case of footwear, which you want to be stiff. Then hang it near the smoke (but not the heat) of a birch fire for several days. Leather becomes brittle and cracks when it absorbs too much heat.
Once the leather has been tanned, it's ready to be tailored into a coat, belt, satchel, saddle, lacing, reins, book cover, pair of shoes or other product. You can also make a waterskin from leather. The craft of leatherworking utilizes awls and serrated-edged blades or scissors. A strong thick thread is needed to sew leather, and you can also cut leather strips to use for binding, as a harness or leash. Patterns and instructions for making simple moccasins and gloves are routinely included in books on wilderness survival.
To improve its water resistance and durability, leather can be rubbed with oil, preferably mink oil if you can get hold of some.
Sewing, Spinning, Weaving and Sutures
In a survival situation, you may be able to get by for awhile with broken zippers, holes in your socks, lost buttons and torn garments. Eventually, you'll have to learn how to mend and create new clothes to wear. While shoes are arguably the most important item in the human wardrobe, protecting your skin from the elements is also a must, not only in cold weather, but to block ultraviolet rays from the Sun. Sources of material for thread and fabric include fleece from sheep, cotton, hemp, silk from silk moths, and linen from flax stalks.
Just like textile factories today, garment workers in pre-industrial times turned this raw material into useable thread and yarn with the following steps:
Washing - Oftentimes using some form of soap, this step can remove up to half the weight of a fleece.
A hand carder has a series of spikes set up across a flat rectangular surface.
Carding - Straightening the fibers, using for instance a 4-inch wide hand drum carder.
Agave fibers scraped from the stalk, bundled and then combed (third photo).
Combing - Simpler than a carder, the "comb" is several long, rigid, pointed teeth that orient all the fibers in one direction. After combing, you may break the fibers into short and long piles. The short fibers can be used to make twine or other cordage.
The short-draw technique.
Drafting (aka drawing) - twisting individual fibers together to form a sturdy thread. The short-draw method is the easiest form of hand spinning to learn. The basic idea is to hold the fibers steady in one hand while the other twists them. The next step up in the evolution of textiles involves the use of a spindle.
When fleece and other animal fibers are combed or carded, the end product is known as a "roving". Modern spinners buy their roving from companies that have dyed the fiber or blended different materials (like wool and silk) into one roving.
A spindle on the left captures a line of twisted yarn (from the top) with its hook, then wraps it around a whorl below the inch-wide horizontal wheel. At right, a demonstration of a spinning wheel that takes loose brown wool (at bottom of photo), pulls it in at the bottom of the wheel (hard to see), then across the top to be captured on a bobbin or spindle. Right photo: Conner Prairie Museum.
Here are a couple more angles of these tools.
Once you've got thread or yarn to work with it, you'll need a needle to sew, darn, crochet or do some other form of stiching. A needle can be fashioned out of stone, bone or a sliver of iron. Your fabric may come from animal hide, wool (shorn from sheep), cotton or silkworm cocoons (among many other sources), and most of us will eventually have to figure out how to spin and weave thead together into sheets. Remember, the textile industry didn't take off until the mid 19th century. Before that, all clothing was produced in the home.
In those days, women spun thread, yarn, string and wool using a spindle or spinning wheel. The basic idea is gathering many strands together from whatever your source fiber and interweaving them to make a thicker and more durable strand. Then the thread is wrapped around a spool and stored for later use.
basketweaving
Basketweaving utilizes many of the same skills as a seamstress, only in this case you're working with long blades of grass, vines, willow, cane, bamboo or rushes. To learn this long lost art, check with the nearest indigenous tribe or indian museum to see if any hands-on training or demonstrations are offered.
You should learn a few different kinds of stitches to accomodate different purposes. Embroidery needles have larger eyes (in the needle) to accommodate thicker thread. Serrated edge scissors or knives are used for cutting through skin or fabric. Thimbles come in handy, too. They protect your thumb and forefinger from getting pricked (and possibly becoming infected). Beeswax is good at keeping thread stiff and less inclined to tangle. You'll also need some approximation of a cloth tape measure to help you size out your materials.
Community adult schools, or local park and recreation centers, are the first place to look for courses in needlework, knitting, crocheting, quilting, weaving and other forms of stitch work. Many fabric and crafts stores also offer classes.
Expertise with a sewing needle also comes handy in the case of repairing an open wound on the body. Primitive man used bark, thorn, gum resins or parchment as suture materials. However, thread, floss or string will also do the trick. Make sure the material is clean before inserting it beneath the skin. A hooked needle the size of a quarter or half dollar works best in stitching the two ends of the skin together. Unlike regular sewing, each suture stitch is a separate unit from the next. This makes removing the thread easier. Remember to allow breathing room for fluids to drain as the wound heals.

Andy Coley surveys old clubs' form
As a player, Andy Coley enjoyed success with both Salford and Wigan, writes Ben Collins.
Tonight his former clubs clash for the first time in Super League since he hung up his boots last year.
Yet there will be no question of divided loyalties as the retired forward will be firmly behind the Warriors having remained a Wigan employee.
A quantity surveyor by trade, Coley announced last August he would quit at the end of the season and return to his old job. But before the 33-year-old donned a hard-hat again, he was offered a full-time role at the DW Stadium.
Coley said. "If I had the right opportunity to stay in the game then I would, but I was ready to go back. Then there was talk of something with Wigan and with the instability in the construction market, I thought it best to put that on hold."
Coley spent four years playing part-time for Swinton and completed his degree shortly after going full-time with Salford in 2001. Now he is Wigan's player welfare manager and liaison officer for the club's new partnership with Wales Rugby League.
"It's difficult to watch, knowing I can't have any influence on the game any more," he said.
"But I'm at the training ground most days so I pop my head in and still feel like one of the lads. And I'm not as sore the morning after a game!"
In 11 years with Salford and Wigan, Coley established himself as one of the toughest props in Super League.
A regular during seven rollercoaster years with Salford, he won his solitary GB cap in June 2007 before earning a move to Wigan later.
And while he hopes Wigan bounce back from last week's narrow defeat by Warrington, Coley knows they must be wary of Salford.
He said: "Salford had a great win and they're going well under Phil Veivers.
"He's got some good ideas, Salford have given him a chance to put them in place and it looks to be paying off."

Anglo Bubbly bubble gum... What a classic! If you're a child of the 70s and 80s this old fashioned gum will get your nostalgic juices flowing (or should we say gushing!) - it really is THE retro gum. This is one of the sweets that makes people glaze over as they remember filling their little white paper bags.
Later in the 80s came the American inspired invasion... with gums like Hubba Bubba, Bubblicious and Bubbleyum. But while they were good for bubble blowing and chewing, none of their flavours came close to comparing with Anglo Bubbly.
But did you realise what the Anglo bubble gum flavour is? Would you believe... it's pear!
Here at A Quarter Of we're massive fans of Anglo Bubbly - in our humble opinion, it is the king of bubblegum sweets!

Format : PDF, Kindle
Is protest broken? Micah White, co-creator of Occupy Wall Street, thinks so. Disruptive tactics have failed to halt the rise of Donald Trump. Movements ranging from Black Lives Matter to environmentalism are leaving activists frustrated. Meanwhile, recent years have witnessed the largest protests in human history. Yet these mass mobilizations no longer change society. Now activism is at a crossroads: innovation or irrelevance. In The End of Protest Micah White heralds the future of activism. Drawing on his unique experience with Occupy Wall Street, a contagious protest that spread to eighty-two countries, White articulates a unified theory of revolution and eight principles of tactical innovation that are destined to catalyze the next generation of social movements. Despite global challenges—catastrophic climate change, economic collapse and the decline of democracy—White finds reason for optimism: the end of protest inaugurates a new era of social change. On the horizon are increasingly sophisticated movements that will emerge in a bid to challenge elections, govern cities and reorient the way we live. Activists will reshape society by forming a global political party capable of winning elections worldwide. In this provocative playbook, White offers three bold, revolutionary scenarios for harnessing the creativity of people from across the political spectrum. He also shows how social movements are created and how they spread, how materialism limits contemporary activism, and why we must re-conceive protest in timelines of centuries, not days. Rigorous, original and compelling, The End of Protest is an exhilarating vision of an all-encompassing revolution of revolution.
Author : Alasdair Roberts
Format : PDF, ePub, Docs
The United States has just gone through the worst economic crisis in a generation. Why was there not more protest, as there was in other countries? During the United States' last great era of free-market policies, before World War II, economic crises were always accompanied by unrest. "The history of capitalism," the economist Joseph Schumpeter warned in 1942, "is studded with violent bursts and catastrophes." In The End of Protest, Alasdair Roberts explains how, in the modern age, governments learned to unleash market forces while also avoiding protest about the market's failures. Roberts argues that in the last three decades, the two countries that led the free-market revolution—the United States and Britain—have invented new strategies for dealing with unrest over free market policies. The organizing capacity of unions has been undermined so that it is harder to mobilize discontent. The mobilizing potential of new information technologies has also been checked. Police forces are bigger and better equipped than ever before. And technocrats in central banks have been given unprecedented power to avoid full-scale economic calamities. Tracing the histories of economic unrest in the United States and Great Britain from the nineteenth century to the present, The End of Protest shows that governments have always been preoccupied with the task of controlling dissent over free market policies. But today's methods pose a new threat to democratic values. For the moment, advocates of free-market capitalism have found ways of controlling discontent, but the continued effectiveness of these strategies is by no means certain.
Peace Movements International Protest And World Politics Since 1945
Author : April Carter
There is a long tradition of opposition to war and organized peace campaigns date from 1815. Since 1945, however, modern weapons technology has threatened world wide destruction and has stimulated widespread protests. This book sketches in the background of thinking about peace and resistance to war before 1945, and then examines how public opposition to nuclear weapons and testing grew in the 1950s and early 1960s. Later chapters cover the major ressurgence of nuclear disarmament campaigns in the 1980s. The book also looks at how peace protest has spread from its origins in North America and North West Europe to embrace many parts of the world; opposition to nuclear testing has indeed been particularly strong in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands. The period 1945 to 1990 was dominated by the Cold War between the USA and USSR, and the role of the Soviet-sponsored World Peace Council caused difficulties for indeptendent peace groups in the West. During the 1980s the emergence of autonomous peace activity in a number of East European countries, and even on a very small scale in the USSR itself, transformed the possibilities for East-West co-operation between citizens to urge disarmament and political change. A chapter examines these developments. Opposition to all forms of militarism has spread in the last 30 years. This book charts the struggles to extend the right to conscientious objection to military service, and draft resistance to particular wars - for example in Southern Africa and Israel. It also looks in some detail at the growing opposition to the war in the Vietnam. The recent protests against the Gulf War are surveyed briefly in an epilogue.
Waves Of Protest
Author : Jo Freeman
This book updates and adds to the classic Social Movements of the Sixties and Seventies, showing how social movement theory has grown and changed_from an earlier emphasis on collective behavior, to the resource mobilization approach, and currently to analyses that emphasize culture, ideology, and collective identity. Top social scientists combine insiders' insights with critical analyses to examine a wide variety of social movements active in the most recent U.S. cycle of protest. Waves of Protest is a must-read for students of social movements, social change, political sociology, and American studies.
Anti Islamic Protest In The Uk
Author : William Allchorn
Demonstrations by far-right groups, such as the English Defence League, Britain First and PEGIDA, have caused considerable social and civic unrest in UK cities for nearly a decade. But how should policymakers respond to far-right and anti-Muslim activism? Drawing on extensive primary research with stakeholders, local authorities and policymakers, this book investigates the political, socio-economic and historic trends that fuel this form of political extremism across the UK. It also maps the different types of policy responses available to local politicians, police forces and behind-the-scenes policy officials involved in the day-to-day management of anti-Islamic street protest. The author demonstrates that it is only through developing successful countermeasures in the realm of politics, security and community-based politics that politicians, police and state actors will truly get to grips with this new far-right activism.

Tools for Personal Growth
How Do You Plan to Flourish in 2023?
December 30, 2022 Christy K.
This image represents a popular tool used in personal development to help identify areas for potential growth. This tool goes by many names, but I call it a "Life Alignment Wheel," and I love using it with my clients to help them get a baseline before we begin working together. Aiming to raise my client's awareness, I invite them to think through each area of life and ask the question, "How am I doing here?"
It may or may not come as a surprise that many of my clients come to me because, in their words, "I just want to be happy." Many people know that something is "off" in their lives, but they can't quite put their finger on why. The Wheel can help!
As you think through each area, you will begin with a general sense of things. For example, you may look at Physical Health and say, initially, "I need to get in better shape," or look at Finances and say, "My finances are a mess. I don't even know where to begin." Believe it or not, that's a great place to start! Once you have identified where you want to grow and improve, you are ready to utilize coaching to help you design each specific step in getting there.
The end of the year is a great time to go through the Life Alignment Wheel and get a clear picture of where you would like to grow in the new year. There are many images out there to help you do this, often called "Wheel of Life" or "Coaching Wheel," but this is one I made to reflect my understanding of which areas of life need to be brought into alignment on a regular basis in order to feel a sense of holistic flourishing.
I'd like to invite you to take some time today or tomorrow as we wrap up 2022 and think through each area. Click here for a free printable PDF.
The way it works is that you shade in how strong you feel in each area. If you feel really good about a particular category, color it in. If you know you want to improve or grow in an area, shade it in accordance with that sense you have.
Don't be surprised if doing this exercise evokes strong emotions. It is very common for people to experience some surprisingly big feelings when they begin to come to terms with their life. I have had clients begin to cry as they became more aware of things after having ignored or denied certain aspects of their lives.
It may be hard to look at, but it will be impossible to begin to make the changes you want to make if you don't.
Start the new year with a clear sense of where you want to go in the next twelve months! If your life is perfect just as it is, this is not the tool for you. But if you feel like there are areas you would like to grow in, the Life Alignment Wheel can help.
Cheers to having a new year filled with joy, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment!

Once you decide that you want to grow your eyelashes and make them thicker, chances are that you are going to go online and search for 'how to grow eyelashes'.
Talking about home remedies on how to grow eyebrows and eyelashes naturally, you should not ignore fenugreek seed. Fenugreek seeds are effective in promoting hair growth and repairing hair follicles. This is because fenugreek seeds are a great source of protein and nicotinic.
By rubbing your eyes excessively, wearing fake eyelashes, sleeping on your stomach, accentuating your eyes with mascara or even pulling on your lashes without realizing it, you�re damaging those precious little follicles that allow you to grow those fine lashes at a relatively slow pace.
After publishing my homemade mascara, many people asked if there was a natural way to make fiber lash mascara or eyelash extensions. I�m yet to find a natural version of false eyelashes since most glues contain formaldehyde. Most fiber lash products also contain questionable ingredients.
