Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress (ICAO: KNFE, FAA Location identifier: NFE) is a military use airport located in Chesapeake, Virginia. This military airport is owned by the U.S. Navy and is under the operational control of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia. The airfield primarily supports day and night Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations by US Navy and US Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, and US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft based in Virginia and the Carolinas.[1]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned NFE by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[2]
2 Encroachment issues
Facilities[edit | edit source]
Fentress NALF has one operational runway designated Runway 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 8,004 by 175 feet (2,440 x 53 m).[1] Four additional shorter paved runways dating from the airfield's original construction during World War II are located in the airfield's northern quadrant. These additional runways are closed to aircraft. On July 5th, 2011, it was announced that NALF Fentress would close in January 2012 for 9 months for major repairs. Touch and go maneuvers would move to Naval Air Station Oceana and Naval Station Norfolk/Chambers Field.[3] As of October 15, 2012 the airfield was reopened.
Encroachment issues[edit | edit source]
End of June 2014 the Chesapeake City Council voted unanimously to use city and state funds who plan to put up about $1 million each, to buy property near the Fentress Naval airport in order to prevent encroachment onto the airfield.[4] this is similar to a program of Virginia Beach, Virginia and the state of Virginia regarding Naval Air Station Oceana.[4]

Thymoquinone mitigate ischemia-reperfusion-induced liver injury in rats: a pivotal role of nitric oxide signaling pathway.
Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol. 2017 Jan; 390(1):69-76.NS
Oxidative and nitrosative stress-induced endothelial cell damage play an essential role in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. IR is associated with reduced eNOS expression and exacerbated by superimposed stress. NOSTRIN induces intracellular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) translocation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) increases nitric oxide (NO) production. Our aim was to assess hepatic expression of iNOS, eNOS, and NOSTRIN in IR with or without N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or thymoquinone (TQ) pretreatment and to compare their hepatoprotective effects. Surgical induction of IR was performed by occlusion of hepatic pedicle for 30 min with mini-clamp and reperfused for 30 min. The effects of TQ (20 mg/kg/day) or NAC (300 mg/kg/day) administered orally for 10 days were evaluated by serum ALT and AST, oxidative stress parameters, NO production, and histopathological analysis. Also, localization and expression of iNOS, eNOS, and NOSTRIN were assessed by immunofluorescence. TQ or NAC pretreatment significantly decreased elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and NO production. In addition, they restored the depleted GSH content and alleviated histopathological changes. Furthermore, they up-regulated eNOS and down-regulated iNOS and NOSTRIN expressions. TQ exerts its hepatoprotective effect, at least in part, by nitric oxide signaling pathway through modulation of iNOS, eNOS, and NOSTRIN expressions as well as suppression of oxidative stress.

Every router is manufactured by a default gateway or IP address of router, we can configure wireless router setting by login into routers web-based interface, to login into router open browser and then type 192.168.0.1 in the browser address bar and enter into the management console of router, some of the companies products like D-link may ask, by default the username will be Admin and leave the password box blank but many routers may not ask username and password to login but, if not then refer the manual for the username and password. so without IP address of the router, you cannot Configure Wireless Router Setting, here we explain about How to Configure Wireless Router Setting 192.168.0.1.
After login into router, in next step to Configure Wireless Router Setting 192.168.0.1 click set up wizard, where we enter into a new interface called router's configuration wizard, We can click Next to proceed with the configuration directly, Then there is an option of interface internet access interface in which we can make specific choices based on our own internet providers, for example, many providers offer ADSL, CABLE, and MODEM. If your network is CABLE then you can choose the first option, if your network is ADSL we can choose the second one then click Next to continue the configuration.
We should see what kind of dial-up approach is to be done. In USA there are many companies that use PPPoE dial-up approach and many use static IP's ways to manage their networks. So, we choose any of them and click next. Even for PPPoE users are required to fill in some information that the telecom company provides to us to input into the box, this is called as validation process. After filling the necessary information then click next then the router go into other interface where the router will let you select IP address type, most users are using carriers automatically assigned IP address, then we finish the configuration.
Now use another Ethernet cable to connect the PC to your router's LAN port, and turn on your PC.
Basically, it is a step by step process of configuring our wireless router with 192.168.0.1 address. most time our broadband router configuration wizard will automatically configure the settings, experienced users can also manually configure the broadband router according to their needs, we recommend you manually configure the broadband router according to its product manual. Now that you have configured your router, you can sit back and relax without the worry of anyone trying to intrude into your network.
But you can never be sure since hackers are constantly developing better cracking utilities to break into secured networks. Nevertheless, you should take your necessary precautions. Maintain the habit of frequently changing passwords, SSID names and the IP address range of the router. Try not to keep sensitive data open on your network, which can lure an intruder into sabotaging your privacy. Finally, make sure you use a good firewall, antivirus and privacy suite to be safe.

UP's 'love jihad' law partisan towards Muslim women? Police refuses to take cognisance of cases involving them
Yogi Government's much-hyped 'Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2020', popularly referred to as 'love jihad' law, is marred by religious favouritism. UP Police has registered 6 cases in the last seven days when Hindu women were allegedly lured into 'forcible' marriages or deceived, but it ignored similar cases where Muslim women were involved."The law is partisan towards Muslim girls. Any legislation cannot be viewed under a religious lens. The law should hold true for Hindu and Muslim girls alike. But unfortunately, this is not the case with Muslim girls who too could be deceived by Hindu men and forced to convert from their religion," Madhu Garg, state president of AIDWA said. Garg gives example of two Muslim women who are running from pillar to post to get people arrested under the new law for being deceived into getting married. Shakeela aka Soni, 22, who hails from Kushinagar, married one Suresh Yadav in Lucknow in 2013 in a temple. They stayed in a rented accommodation in Lucknow. Shakeela changed her religion after marriage and became Soni. In early 2017, she came to know that Suresh Yadav was already married and had children too.Soni says she was sexually exploited and tortured. Suresh threatened her with dire consequences if the matter was reported to the police or anyone else. He has now abandoned her and their two-year-old son.Another case is of Ruqaiyya Bano, 35, who married one Yashwardhan Srivastava in 2017 in an Arya Samaj temple. She got converted to Hinduism and was renamed as Muskan. Later, her husband refused to have anything to do with her and even denied that they had got married, despite the fact that she has pictures of the marriage and a certificate from the temple to prove that she got married to him."My parents say I'm a Hindu while my in-laws say I am Muslim. I am fighting to prove who I am – Ruqaiyya Bano or Muskan Srivastava," she said. AIDWA, which has taken up the case of these two Muslim women, want the police to register cases under the new law against the culprits and arrest them as is being done in other cases where Muslim men and Hindu women are concerned.

UP: No FIR, no conversion, but Muslim man held for 'love jihad' probe
MEERUT: A Muslim man, 27, and a Hindu woman, 24, fell in love, eloped and started living together. Their parents, while not supportive, didn't press charges. The woman had not been misled about the man's religious identity. But now, under pressure from right-wing groups against what they said was a case of "love jihad", police have been holding the man for questioning and have sent the woman to a shelter. But they don't know how an FIR could possibly be filed. "The woman said the man hadn't hidden his identity.""So, we called up her parents, who said they have disowned her but didn't press charges," Kankerkheda SHO Tapeshwar Sagar told TOI. An Allahabad high court judgment had weeks ago upheld personal liberty in choosing a partner, referring to interfaith marriages.

Restore temples razed to build mosque within Qutub Minar complex: Petition in Delhi court
A civil suit has been filed before Delhi's Saket Court alleging that 'Quwwat-Ul-Islam Masjid' situated within the Qutub Minar complex in Mehrauli was built in place of a temple complex. The plea, filed on behalf of Jain deity Tirthankar Lord Rishabh Dev and Hindu deity Lord Vishnu (through their next of friends), seeks restoration of the alleged temple complex, comprising of as many as 27 temples. Civil Judge Neha Sharma fixed the next date of hearing on Dec.24, legal news website Live Law has reported. Plea has alleged that 27 Hindu and Jain temples were dismantled, desecrated and damaged under the command of Mughal emperor Qutub-Din-Aibak, who raised some construction at the same very place of temples naming it as, 'Quwwat-Ul-Islam Mosque'.It is submitted that the Mughal ruler failed to completely demolish the existing temples and only partial demolition was carried out and after reusing the material of the temples, the said mosque was erected.It is pointed out that the petitioner's version is also supported by a short history displayed by ASI, which narrates that 27 temples were demolished and reusing materials of demolished temples the construction of Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was raised. Petitioners have thus urged the court to decree the suit in nature of declaration, declaring that deity Tirthankar Lord Rishabh Dev and deity Lord Vishnu, along with Lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva, Goddess Gauri, God Sun, Lord Hanuman including presiding deities of 27 temples, have right to be restored and worshiped with rites & rituals, performance of regular pooja within the temple complex situated in the area of Qutub Complex in Mehruli.

Indus Valley civilisation had meat-heavy diets, preference for beef, reveals study
The people of the Indus Valley Civilisation in northwest India had a predominantly meat-heavy diet, comprising animals like pigs, cattle, buffalo and sheep, along with dairy products, a study published in Journal of Archaeological Science has shown. High proportions of cattle bones was also found, which may suggest a "cultural preference for beef consumption" across Indus populations, the study, titled, Lipid residues in pottery from the Indus Civilisation in northwest India, said. The research offers insights into the food patterns of ancient South Asia by using lipid residue analysis to investigate what kinds of food items were used in ceramic vessels by people of the Indus Valley Civilisation settlements in northwest India, the present-day states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.It was led by Akshyeta Suryanarayan as part of her PhD at the University of Cambridge."Our study of lipid residues in Indus pottery shows a dominance of animal products in vessels, such as the meat of non-ruminant animals like pigs, ruminant animals like cattle or buffalo and sheep or goat, as well as dairy products," Suryanarayan said, according to a press release by the Cambridge University."The high proportions of cattle bones may suggest a cultural preference for beef consumption across Indus populations, supplemented by the consumption of mutton/lamb," the research said.

CAA rules still under preparation, says Centre
e Ministry of Home Affairs has said that rules for the Citizenship Amendment Act, which was passed in Dec.2019, are still under preparation, The Hindu reported on Wednesday.The Centre responded to a Right to Information query filed by the newspaper, asking for the status of the framing of rules for the Act. "It is to inform that the rules under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 are under preparation," Director (Citizenship) Foreigners Division BC Joshi said in the RTI response. Joshi added that his office had not sent any letter related to the CAA to the Parliamentary Committee on Subordinate Legislation in August.

Assam NRC list of Aug.2019 not final, state coordinator tells Gauhati HC
Assam's National Register of Citizens Coordinator Hitesh Sarma has informed the Gauhati High Court that NRC list published in August last year was not complete, and the final list of the exercise was "yet to be published" by the Registrar General of India. In an affidavit filed on Dec.3, accessed by Scroll.in on Thursday, Sarma told the court that NRC list published on Aug.31, 2019, was a "supplementary National Register of Citizens", and was fraught with errors as it included "4,700-odd ineligible names".Despite him informing Registrar General of India about the errors, Sarma said the central body had been silent on the publication of the actual "final NRC".The official submitted that all anomalies detected by him in NRC list of 2019 were communicated to RGI in Feb. He said he even sought "necessary directions for corrective measures in the interest of an error-free NRC which is of utmost importance as NRC is directly related to national security and integrity".But the Registrar General of India did not issue any directions to deal with the anomalies, Sarma claimed. "Rather, instructions have been received for issue of rejection slips and winding up of the operation of updation of NRC," he added.

Farmers' Protest Updates: Govt ready to consider any provision in farm laws where farmers have issues, says Tomar
As the ongoing farmers' protest entered day 15, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday urged union leaders to consider the proposals and said he is ready for further discussions with them. "The government is ready to consider with an open mind any provision in the new laws where farmers have any issues and we want to clarify all their apprehensions," Tomar said at a press conference here.A 20-page proposal offered by the Centre was rejected by farmer unions on Wednesday for being "vague". Farmers, who are steadfast in their demand that the three farm laws be repealed, said any further talks with the government would be based on the proposals they receive.Farmers have threated to intensify their agitation by blocking more highways leading to Delhi. On December 14, they said the residences of BJP leaders, ministers and offices would be gheraoed, and dharnas would take place at district headquarters across the country. In the southern states, the protests would continue indefinitely.In its proposal, the Centre had offered significant concessions including a written assurance on continuation of MSP-based procurement and ensuring parity in transactions inside and outside existing APMC mandis. The proposal had been sent a day after 13 farmer leaders met Union Home Minister Amit Shah.Meanwhile, a delegation of senior Opposition leaders, led by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D Raja, submitted a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind Wednesday, urging him to persuade the government to repeal the contentious laws. "We urge upon you, as the custodian of the Indian Constitution, to persuade 'your government' not to be obdurate and accept the demands raised by India's annadatas," the petition read.

Following farmers' call, thousands flood social media calling for boycott of Adani, Reliance products
After deliberating upon a proposal sent by the government offering a written assurance on MSP, farmer leaders on Wednesday decided to reject the same. Signalling further escalation of their agitation, the union leaders said farmers across the nation would boycott all products of Adani Ltd and Reliance Industries Limited, including the highly-used Jio mobile SIM cards.Addressing the press at Singhu border, they said the government has refused to roll back the laws despite their insistence in the past six rounds of meeting. This has compelled them to escalate their protest, the leaders of the agitation said."We will block Delhi-Jaipur and Delhi-Agra highways on 12th December," they said, adding that payments would not be made at toll plazas and all products of Adani and Reliance will be boycotted. "We will boycott Jio SIMs as well," they added.Following the development, micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with posts empathising with the farmers, and the hashtag #BoycottAmbaniAdani began to trend.

Now A 'Kisan Bagh' In Maha, Stirring Shaheen Bagh Memories
PUNE:At the height of the 'Bharat Bandh' a day ago, a small event started in a corner of the city has signalled a long winter of discontent among the farmers and workers in the country.Taking inspiration from the now legendary Shaheen Bagh-style of agitation last year all over India, several farmers and workers groups joined together to launch a 'Kisan Bagh' in Pune, to get justice for the farmers and workers in the country, the organisers said.The brainchild of veteran social worker Babasaheb Pandurang Adhav, 90, revered as Baba Adhav and many others, 'Kisan Bagh' started on a modest scale with 50 farmers sitting in protest outside Pune Collectorate for the second day on Wednesday."This is the first green shoot From Thursday — the International Human Rights Day — it will start at Konkan Bhavan in Raigad, and later similar 'Kisan Baghs' shall come up in all regions of Maharashtra," Jan Andolan Sangharsh Samiti (JASS) Convenor Vishwas Utagi told IANS.Though in a nascent stage, Baba Adhav feels the idea will pick up and similar 'Kisan Baghs' could manifest across India "as farmers all over are angry"."I have taken part in the Independence movement, the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, the Emergency and many other agitations. But this is the first time that I have witnessed the urban population coming out in full support of the rural farmers and workers," Baba Adhav told IANS.IANS

British PM Boris Johnson confuses farmer protests with India-Pakistan conflict
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday landed himself in a controversy after he appeared to confuse the ongoing farmers' agitation against the agricultural laws in India with the conflict between New Delhi and Pakistan.During the question period in the United Kingdom's Parliament, MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi asked Johnson to comment on the ongoing protests in India, which have seen tens of thousands of farmers camped in the outskirts of Delhi for over two weeks now. The British MP has been a vocal supporter of the farmers and initiated a letter pledging support for the protests signed by 35 other lawmakers.

China, Pakistan behind farmers' protest: Union minister Raosaheb Danve
Union minister Raosaheb Danve on Wednesday claimed that China and Pakistan were behind the ongoing protests by farmers, who are seeking repeal of 3 new farm laws. He also alleged that Muslims were earlier misled over CAA and NRC, but as those efforts did not succeed, now farmers were being told that they will face losses due to the new laws.Danve was speaking at the inauguration of a health centre at Kolte Takli in Badnapur taluka of Maharashtra's Jalna district."The agitation that is going on is not that of farmers. China and Pakistan have a hand behind this. Muslims in this country were incited first. What was said (to them)?

Amritsar :Despite the farmer unions' decision to keep their ongoing protest in Delhi against the farm laws "apolitical", Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) plans to use this platform to demand the release of several accused booked under UAPA for allegedly having links with Naxals, on Human Rights Day, to be observed Thursday.Pictures of more than 20 accused, including Varavara Rao, Sudha Bharadwaj, Gautam Navlakha, Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira, booked under the stringent UAPA, will be installed on a stage near the Tikri border. Many human rights groups are also expected to participate. "We will celebrate International Human Rights Day at Baba Banda Singh Nagar, near Tikri border, to raise our voices for release of intellectuals and human rights activists. Demand for the release of these prisoners has been raised constantly throughout the agitation. Modi govt is running a Fascist agenda. On one hand it is promoting Adani and Ambani and on the other hand it is pushing intellectuals and activities into jail. Around two dozen activists have been booked under UAPA for Bhima Koregaon and instigating Delhi riots," said Jhanda Singh Jethuke, senior vice-president of BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan)."It has been part of our demands from the very first day to release human rights activists locked up in jails…Government has said that the farm agitation is provoked by urban Naxals, Congress and Khalistanis. Urban Naxal is an excuse to prosecute people. In Punjab, people are sandwiched between state terrorism and terrorists…Naxalism has helped tribal people claim their rights," said NK Jeet, lawyer and coordinator of BKU (Ugrahan) event.

China gave 5 reasons for deploying troops along LAC: Jaishankar
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said that China has given India "five differing explanations" for deploying large forces along LAC in eastern Ladakh, adding that this violation of bilateral pacts has "very significantly damaged" their relationship which is now at its "most difficult phase" in the last 30-40 years. Speaking during an online interactive session organised by Australian think tank Lowy Institute, Jaishankar said, "We are very clear that maintaining peace and tranquillity along LAC is the basis for the rest of the relationship to progress. You can't have the kind of situation you have on the border and say let's carry on with life in all other sectors of activity. It's just unrealistic."

CPI(M)'s Fact-Finding Holds Home Minister Responsible for Delhi Violence, 'Prejudicing' Probe
New Delhi: A fact-finding report released by CPI(Marxist) on Wednesday has held home minister Amit Shah responsible for the communal violence that broke out in Delhi. The report specifically holds Shah responsible for the "escalation" of violence and prejudicing the police probe in the matter.The report, titled 'Communal Violence in North East Delhi, Feb.2020', says,"The role of the home ministry under Amit Shah was in substantial measure responsible for the escalation of the violence." The report released on Wednesday concluded that "it is incorrect to describe the communal violence as Delhi riots. 'Riots' describe a situation where both sides are equally participatory… However, the offensive was from the Hindutva mobs while the other side, in the main, was desperately trying to save themselves from such attacks… In almost all areas, there is video evidence of the police siding with the Hindutva mobs."

Dumka gangrape: Item dance, porn on phone prepare mindset for rape: RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari
RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari Thursday said item dance, ads and pornographic content on phones are responsible for a "mindset of rape". He also blamed the "consumerist culture" for such incidents in tribal areas "where crimes like rape were unheard of".Tiwari's comments come after a woman was allegedly gangraped in Jharkhand's Dumka district on Tuesday night while she was returning home from the market with her husband. According to police complaint, the husband was allegedly held hostage when the incident happened. "No one could've imagined there would be rape in tribal area.

As long as the situation that incites rape persists, you won't be able to stop it," Tiwari was quoted as saying by ANI.

Report details massive EU misinformation campaign to promote Modi govt's interests; names ANI as a key player
An NGO based in Brussels, EU DisinfoLab, has published a report detailing one of the largest ever disinformation campaigns in Europe, organised by Indian stakeholders, to further the interests of the Indian government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The report, titled 'Indian Chronicles', says that this disinformation campaign was carried out by ANI, India's largest video news agency, and a shadowy business conglomerate called Srivastava group which organised a visit for far-right members of European Parliament to Kashmir last year. The year-long investigation by EU DisinfoLab was built upon and published exclusively by news organisations such as Les Jours in France, which quoted a misinformation expert who described this campaign as "a network… whose scope and impact are comparable to the operation of Russian interference during the campaign in US in 2016."According to the report posted on the website of EU DisinfoLab, its open-source investigation shows that the operation led by the Srivastava Group and amplified by ANI began in 2005 and is still ongoing at this date. "The operation's mission is to discredit nations in conflict with India in Asia, in particular Pakistan but also China to a lesser extent." Its long-term objective is:

Despite USCIRF Concern over Rising Communal Violence, India Escapes Being Tagged as 'Country of Concern'
US State Department has turned down the recommendation of its own commission on religious freedom to designate India as a country of concern over violation of religious freedoms of the people. In April, United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) had urged the state department to put India in the list of 'countries of concern', or CPC, along with 14 other countries which include Pakistan, China, Myanmar and Iran on the list.The recommendation was on the back of findings made by the Commission according to which religious freedom conditions in India has witnessed a 'drastic turn downward'. It highlighted the passage of the discriminatory citizenship law, the Delhi riots, the supreme court ruling on Babri Masjid, the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, mob violence over cow slaughter, etc.While recommending the CPC tag for India, the Commission accused India of "engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious religious freedom violations, as defined by the International Religious Freedom Act."It had also called for imposing sanctions on Indian agencies and officials responsible for severe violations of religious freedom.But the state department rejected the Commission's recommendations and did not include India even in the Special Watch List (SWL) which includes Comoros, Cuba, Nicaragua and Russia for "severe violations of religious freedom".

Sri Lanka cremates Muslim COVID-19 victims 'against religious wishes'
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka said Wednesday it would cremate the bodies of 19 Muslim coronavirus victims, overriding the families' objections against contentious policy.The island nation has been experiencing a surge in cases since October, with the number of infections increased more than eight-fold since then to over 29,300 and 142 dead.Coronavirus victims' bodies are claimed by families and then cremated -- a practice forbidden under Islamic law -- under the strict supervision of health authorities.But families of 19 Muslims killed by the virus have refused to claim the bodies from a morgue in the capital Colombo, triggering the edict by Attorney-General Dappula de Livera. "Bodies of Covid-19 victims not claimed by families can be cremated in terms of quarantine regulations," De Livera's spokeswoman said, adding that the bodies would be cremated this week. 5 were cremated on Wednesday, police said.AFP

Amnesty criticises Airbnb for West Bank settlement listings ahead of IPO
Amnesty International accused Airbnb of acting in bad faith towards investors ahead of its stock market debut on Thursday by failing to inform them of its politically sensitive business activities in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Reuters reports.Airbnb did not provide comment on Amnesty's charge. A company spokesman referred Reuters to a statement it made in 2019 saying it would not take profits from its listings in the West Bank.Amnesty, which wants Airbnb to delist rental properties in the settlements, said in a statement that the company should have mentioned them in the "Risk Factors" section of a Nov. 16 regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.The San Francisco-based booking company is holding an initial public offering on Nasdaq on Thursday.

Netanyahu to visit Egypt in first official visit in decade
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to visit Egypt in what will be the first official visit by an Israeli leader in a decade, reports the Times of Israel.According to the the Times of Israel, Netanyahu made a secret visit to Egypt in 2011 to meet then President Hosni Mubarak and another unofficial visit to meet Al-Sisi in 2018 for iftar.The two have met publicly several times on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.On Thursday, Israel Hayom reported that Al-Sisi had invited Netanyahu and that talks held during his meeting would cover strengthening security and diplomatic ties.The leaked news said that Al-Sisi will personally welcome Netanyahu at the airport in an official ceremony with the Egyptian and Israel flags side by side following Joe Biden's win at the US presidency polls.

Sisi: Our priority is to fight political Islam, Muslim Brotherhood
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said that his priority is to fight political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood, considering cooperating in this regard with France, the New Khaleej reported. In an interview with the French paper Le Figaro, Al-Sisi said France has developed a clearer vision of the grave danger the Muslim Brotherhood poses to Europe and to European citizens.He claimed that the organisation poses an "existential threat" to the countries where it is located."We have continuously warned of the dangers of this deadly ideology that knows no borders, and Egypt and France paid its price," he claimed, calling for France to "coordinate at the international level to fight terrorism."He consider the Muslim Brotherhood's social and political activities as a "threat", citing the group's wide network of charities and social activities, claiming it formed armed militias.

US Senate backs massive arms sales to UAE after Trump veto threat
US Senate has defeated an effort to block the Trump administration's sale of $23bn in advanced fighter jets and drones to UAE .President Donald Trump had issued a formal threat to veto congressional efforts to block the planned weapons transfer, which is tied to UAE's normalisation of ties with Israel under the "Abraham Accords". 2 procedural votes failed to gain a majority of the 100-member Senate, effectively stopping the effort to block the sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets and Reaper drones. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said the resolutions seeking to block the arms sale fell far short of the two-thirds support that would be needed to overcome a presidential veto."It's a little baffling to suggest that, now of all times, a protest gesture with no chance of obtaining a veto-proof majority is a valuable use of the Senate's time," McConnell said in Senate floor remarks.

China using big data to detain Muslim minorities in Xinjiang: Report
Chinese government is using big data to arbitrarily detain Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, a leaked list of more than 2,000 detainees from the province suggests. A new report by New York-based HRW, which carried the list, says the Integrated Joint Operations Platform (IJOP), a predictive computer programme, analyses data and selects members of minority communities to be detained."A big data programme for policing in China's Xinjiang region arbitrarily selects Turkic Muslims for possible detention… A leaked list of over 2,000 detainees from Aksu prefecture provided to HRW is further evidence of China's use of technology in its repression of Muslim population,"the report released on Wednesday said. IJOP programme automatically selects possible detainees for the controversial camps set up in the remote region according to parameters including studying Koran, wearing religious clothing or travelling internationally."Aksu List (from2018) provides further insights into how China's brutal repression of Xinjiang's Turkic Muslims is being turbocharged by technology," said Maya Wang, a senior China researcher at HRW.

The tagline is pretty unwieldy, isn't it? And yes, alien robots and zombies should have made for a way more kickass movie than it did.

According to NBC News, despite the strong objections of the FBI and Justice Department, the House Intelligence Committee on Friday released the Republican-written memo, which alleges missteps by the FBI regarding surveillance of one of Trump's campaign aides during the 2016 campaign. The committee's move came after Trump approved the release of the memo without redactions.
The memo was prepared by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The three-and-a-half-page memo is a critique of the FBI's application for surveillance authority before the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court, which allowed the FBI to conduct secret surveillance on a Trump campaign aide, Carter Page.
The Democrats said it was "telling" that Nunes "put out this memo without bothering to read the underlying materials, and that he ordered changes to the document without informing his own committee members." They added that its release also shows a "terrible lapse" in leadership by House Speaker Paul Ryan.
GOP Sen. John McCain criticized the release of this Memo. Some other GOP Representatives and GOP Senators have also counter this relaese of the GOP Memo.
But today President Trump says the Surveillance Memo vindicates him in Russia probe.
President Trump said Saturday that a memo on FBI surveillance abuses released by House Republicans "totally vindicates" him in the investigation into Russian meddling and collusion in the 2016 election.
"This is an American disgrace!" Mr. Trump said.
Special counsel Robert Mueller reportedly is focusing on possible obstruction of justice, including Mr. Trump's firing last year of FBI Director James B. Comey.
The president gave his views on the matter a day after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released the four-page memo detailing the FBI's reliance on a partisan, anti-Trump dossier funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign to apply for surveillance warrants against a Trump campaign aide in 2016.
Top FBI and Justice Department officials didn't fully inform the secret court that authorizes surveillance about the partisan connections of the dossier, the memo said.
Nearly a year ago, Mr. Trump was the target of ridicule on the left for accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the presidential campaign.
"Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" the president said in March 2017.
The Republicans' memo also confirmed, however, that the FBI's Russia probe had been started before the surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It shows that the FBI opened the investigation in July 2016 to examine contacts between Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and Russian representatives.
After the memo was released Friday, Mr. Trump told reporters that the FBI's conduct was a "disgrace." He refused to say whether he had confidence in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who signed at least one of the surveillance applications and later appointed Mr. Mueller to investigate the Russia allegations.

Just signed up and gave my information and the app won't open after that. It says it's down for maintenance, but it was up to receive my PII, so it looks like a malware app. Contacted the developer, with no response. Someone else noted that the site was down for maintenance 3-4 days ago. It looks like it's been down for awhile and no reply from developer. Uninstalled since it's completely unusable and no response from developer that took my private info

The app is surprisingly deceptive, in that you're think chat room, it has that but it offers a lot more with news, dating, music and videos. The lay out looks old but hey still works. To be part of the chat room you do have to create an account. Definitely worth checking out.
Thanks for reviewing the Christian Chat app. We have recently added live streaming video chat that can be used in a web browser. We are hoping to update the app soon so live streaming will work in the app. For now using a web browser is the best way to use all the chat room features.

I love the app. It enables me to have fellowship with Christians. I also love reading the thread topic discussion, learn from it and grow spiritually. Moreover how we can share some inspirational videos or songs and it's also cool that there's a trivia game on it. I enjoyed it really! 🙂🎉👍

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled to take place May 21 and is expected to include local public officials and CyrusOne executives and employees.
"We're excited that our new corporate headquarters will be in Carrollton, where we operate one of the most energy-efficient data centers in the country and the largest in the state of Texas," said Gary Wojtaszek, president and CEO of CyrusOne. "We've always found Texas to be very business-friendly, and the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex is no exception. Ours is a customer-service-oriented business, and we look for that same spirit of collaboration in the communities where we operate. It's been a pleasure to work with Senator Jane Nelson, Carrollton Mayor Matthew Marchant, Economic Development Director Brad Mink, and other city officials. In addition, Carrollton is quickly and easily accessible for our customers and employees by air, rail, and road, and provides excellent resources to accommodate our growing national and international presence."
CyrusOne's corporate headquarters is located at its data center facility on Frankford Road in Carrollton. The site is home to the company's first Massively Modular® data center location and boasts 640,000 square feet of space, including raised white floor and Class A office space.
"We are proud to be the location of CyrusOne's new corporate headquarters, and the project speaks volumes about the vitality of our business climate, the talent of our workforce, and the vibrancy of our city," said Marchant.
Founded in Houston in 2000, CyrusOne entered the Dallas market from a facilities perspective in 2005. Acquired by Cincinnati Bell in 2010, CyrusOne completed an initial public offering (IPO) in January 2013, at which time discussions around headquarters site selection for the newly NASDAQ-listed company intensified.
"I'm proud to welcome CyrusOne to our community," said Texas State Senator Jane Nelson. "This is yet another example of our strength as a desirable location for doing business. Our economy continues to diversify and outperform the rest of the country, and the addition of CyrusOne will help ensure our continued success in the global economy."

Green Homes for All
A new segment of the green building movement has a vision that green housing must be for all, especially low-income residents.
Hayley Samu
In the middle of São Paulo's concrete jungle lies an area that was largely forgotten by its 12 million residents for decades. Characterized by abandoned buildings and occupied largely by squatters, the Campos Eliseos neighborhood held only remnants of its early days, when it was occupied by wealthy coffee barons. Today, the neighborhood is changing.
A new segment of the green building movement has a vision that green housing must be for all, especially the poor. Within the neighbourhood's precarious dwellings, the State of São Paulo government, in a public-private partnership with Canopus, has broken ground on the Julio Prestes social housing project, to provide more than 1,200 apartments for low-income families.
The Julio Prestes social housing project provides more than 1,200 apartments for low-income families. The project, developed by the State of São Paulo in a public-private partnership with Canopus, is contributing to the rapid transformation of the city's urban core. .
The project is transformational, not only for the city, but also for its people. As a project certified with IFC's EDGE, the complex will provide much-needed homes for low-income residents. Living in resource-efficient units will also significantly reduce energy and water bills among a population that often spends up to 20 percent of their income on utilities. Depending on the type of unit, residents at Julio Prestes will save up to 26 percent in utility costs.
Adriana Paiano, Chief Architect at Canopus, found that certifying Julio Prestes with EDGE greatly improves the quality of life among low-income residents. "We find that by integrating green efficiencies in our design, we are really making a difference, especially for this market segment," she said.
A few thousand miles away, the small nation of Haiti also understands how homeownership can change a person's life. "For us in Haiti, it's almost revolutionary," says Patrick Brun, owner of the Chabuma S.A. construction company, "Owning a home is transformative for people."
Brun represents only one of the developers receiving assistance from Affordable Housing Institute and the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) to build green homes under the Haiti Home Ownership and Mortgage Expansion (HOME) project funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The project hopes to mobilize a private sector-driven approach to financing affordable homes. HOME provides incentives to developers, like Chabuma, to build residences for low-income families, while also working with financial institutions to expand their mortgage portfolios to be more inclusive.
On the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, Village La Fontaine provides a sustainable home for low-income residents. Green features such as the home's solar panels provide 100% of the energy needs for residents.
"We want the project to be perceived as completely market driven even though it is supported by USAID," said Olivia Caldwell, lead for HOME from the Affordable Housing Institute and an EDGE Expert, "The idea is that in two years when the project ends, the banks and developers will continue to engage in these activities without us."
The HOME project has made green affordable housing a reality for Haitian developers in a market where it has never existed before. Brun, who developed EDGE-certified projects Villa Flora and Village la Fontaine under HOME, understood the need for the housing to save energy and water.
In Haiti, the government struggles to provide electricity to its citizens, placing a burden on the poor who cannot afford their own generators when the power goes out. With green features like solar panels, residents can reduce reliance on the electricity grid and take advantage of Haiti's year-round average of nearly 12 hours of sunlight per day. As Brun says, "Offering affordable homes that aren't green is just going halfway. You haven't solved anything."
Developers in other markets are realizing the potential of resource-efficient affordable homes as well. From the Philippines, where affordable housing developer Imperial Homes Corporation (IHC) saw a 300 percent increase in sales after building green, to South Africa, where International Housing Solutions (IHS) is altering the housing market landscape, the trend is growing.
Each home at the IHC's Via Verde housing complex in the Philippines has solar panels, allowing residents like Philippine housewife Luzviminda Capin to save a significant amount in her utility bills. "My monthly electricity bill has gone down to only 500 (Philippine Pesos, or about $10). I use the extra savings of 2,000 (Philippine Pesos) to either buy food and groceries, or to pay off the mortgage on the house," Capin said.
The Residents like Philippine housewife Luzviminda Capin at IHC's Via Verde homes save their utility bills and use the extra money to buy other needed household items.
Similarly, in South Africa, IHS properties have introduced innovative technologies such as smart meters to the sector. IHS functions as a financial services provider and partners with real estate developers in South Africa to provide equity financing for properties and to purchase turn-key developments. Its funds have added a large amount of home stock to South Africa's affordable housing market, many of which have been EDGE-certified. These projects include Waterfall Park, The Village (Clubview) and Candlewood Crescent.
In such nascent green housing markets where building green can be perceived as a luxury instead of a necessity, developers are striving to change the stereotype that green is expensive. In reality, simple alterations to a home's design, such as adding external shading to keep a home cool, can greatly improve the affordability of homes and reduce utility bills for residents.
Green affordable housing has the potential to change the housing market in countries like Haiti, Brazil and beyond. In Port Au Prince, where many live in overcrowded slums, living in a green affordable home instills a sense of pride. Brun believes that as more of Haiti's low-income residents move from unsafe shelters to permanent homes, the landscape of the country will begin to change. "Visually, it sheds the perspective that everything in this country is chaotic," he says, "It changes the panorama of the country by offering affordable homes."
More importantly, it changes the country itself. "It's not just the development of affordable housing, it's the development of the country," Brun said.

Road closure advice for annual Nottingham 10K
Thousands of runners are getting ready to step out for the second annual Nottingham 10K.
The event – which will generate a huge cash boost for local charities – takes place on Sunday 28th May.
The race organisers, Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, are now advising runners, spectators, residents and visitors that a number of the area's roads will be closed or have access restricted to ensure the safety of all those taking part.
Closures will begin from 5am and will affect roads around the 10K course. Routes will reopen on a rolling timetable as soon as it is safe to do so. Some parking suspensions will be in place from Saturday 27th.
The race starts at 9.30am on Lady Bay Bridge, close to the City Ground, and the course takes the field along Trent Boulevard, Adbolton Lane and into Holme Pierrepont Country Park for a lap of the pretty regatta lake.
It's then on to the finish back at the City Ground, via Holme Road.
Among the roads affected by the closures are: Adbolton Grove, Adbolton Lane, Holme Road, Lady Bay Bridge, Trent Boulevard and Scarrington Road. There will also be parking restrictions on Adbolton Grove, Adbolton Lane and Trent Boulevard.
Full details of the road closures can be found at /media/209578/nottingham-10k-road-closure-poster.pdf
Tristan Batley-Kyle, Course Director, with organisers Run For All, said: "We work very hard to keep any disruption to a minimum and all roads are re-opened as soon as possible. Unfortunately, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable and we'd like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused."
The event's official partner charities are: Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Macmillan Cancer Support, Framework, Nottingham Hospitals Charity, Treetops Hospice, Mysight, Equation, Cerebral Palsy Support and Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance.
