Protests in Basra (File Photo: AFP)
Iraq's National Wisdom Movement, led by Ammar al-Hakim, is planning to call for mass demonstrations next Friday in most of the provinces to protest failure in handling government's work and corruption.
The Movement is threatening protests might later become "civil disobedience" if the legitimate demands of the people are not met.
Last June, the National Wisdom announced the adoption of "political, constitutional, national, and constructive opposition." It also announced its withdrawal from "Reform and Reconstruction" bloc, which has about 120 seats in parliament.
National Wisdom was established in July 2017, after Hakim left the Islamic Supreme Council, founded by his uncle Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim in Iran in 1982.
Movement member of the Executive Committee, Mohammed Husam al-Husseini, confirmed the protests saying they will include 14 Iraqi governorates, adding that Friday demonstrations will be the beginning.
Husseini told Asharq Al-Awsat that if the demands are not met, protests will become sit-ins, and eventually civil disobedience if nothing is achieved.
Asked about protests in Salahuddin, Anbar, and Nineveh where the Movement has very weak representation, Husseini indicated that the important thing is to have a presence regardless of the number of demonstrators. He noted that the Movement does not claim the number of participants will be equal in all provinces, but it is determined to carry on.
He informed Asharq Al-Awsat of the demands such as improving living conditions, services, security and weapon control by the state.
Husseini denied claims that the Movement is mad at Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi, noting that they believe he has the ability to serve the country, however, the government's program is not implemented.
On the controversy and escalating disagreements between National Wisdom Movement and the governor of Basra, Asaad al-Eidani, Husseini noted that the governor has issues of corruption and does not want any demonstration.
The governor is funding pages on social media promoting the idea that coordination departments of Basra refuse to participate in the Movement's demonstrations, which is not true.
Activists from Basra expressed their dissatisfaction that the National Wisdom is "riding the wave of demonstrations" and are more inclined to believe that the Movement wants to pressure for the position of the governor.
Meanwhile, former Deputy Prime Minister Bahaa al-Araji said that by adopting protests and demonstrations, blocs and parties are violating the principle of democracy.
Araji said in a statement that these blocs can claim anything, even if they want to overthrow the government, but they must do so through the parliament, and in accordance with the constitution.

Abstract: Analysis of the results of the selective monitoring of 137Cs in cow milk in settlements, where values of the milk contamination have not met requirements of the permissible levels since the Chernobyl accident, was performed. Monitoring network, which was created at the Institute, is covering the most critical settlements of Zhytomyr, Rivne and Volyn regions. The article presents data on radionuclide contamination of cow milk for the last 5 years (2011 - 2015), while observations are carried out since the 90-s of the last century. Long-term data show that the current dynamics of contamination of cow milk in these settlements is comparable to the decrease of 137Cs activity due to its physical decay.
Keywords: Chernobyl accident, radioactive contamination, monitoring, cow milk.

Miley Cyrus covers 'Rolling Stone' and talks making peace with her past
Brad Elterman for Rolling Stone
In a new cover story with Rolling Stone, Miley Cyrus says she's finally at peace with her musical past.
The singer, who just released the rock-inspired album Plastic Hearts, admits it took her a while to feel proud of her career journey and that she often tried to erase whatever came before.
"I discredited myself for what I had been almost every step of the way," she tells the mag. "During Dead Petz, discrediting Bangerz. During Bangerz, discrediting Hannah Montana. During 'Malibu,' discrediting Bangerz."
She continues, "It's almost like when I have evolved, I've then become shameful of who I was before. What makes you an adult, I think, is being OK with who you've been before."
Miley says she's since come to realize her past — including Hannah Montana — has had an impact on a younger generation of artists, including Lil Nas X, who ended up collaborating with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus on "Old Town Road."
"Being a young queer kid's idol that could turn out to be a Lil Nas X and create a whole identity for themselves off being inspired from watching me growing up. Or I hear artists like Troye Sivan say he felt more comfortable with his sexuality when I came out with 'My Heart Beats for Love'…" Miley says. "When my peers are having these experiences and accepting themselves because of something that I demonstrated while they were a kid, that's when I go, 'S***, I f***ing am Hannah Montana.'"

The magnificent Medieval Studenica Monastery is the mother church of all Serbian shrines. Studenica Monastery was founded around 1190 as the principal endowment and mausolem church of Stefan Nemanja, the minded founder and most powerful and prominent ruler of the Serbian Medieval State, to become and remain the most important of all Serbian Orthodox Monasteries of the rich cultural heritage of Serbia.
This well-preserved 13th century monastic complex of Studenica churches sits at the end of a 12-kilometer road, which begins in the small town of Usce, in the gorgeous, well-preserved natural setting on the wooded slopes of Radocelo, Cemerno and Troglav Mountains.
Within the UNESCO "Man and Biosphere" programme, Nature Park "Golija" joined the biosphere reserve network in 2001 when it was named "Golija-Studenica". Studenica Monastery Complex consists of four medieval churches, the Lower and the Upper Saint Sava Sanctuaries and the dwelling /dormitory, hospice, refectory/ with the high tower enclosed by defensive walls in a form of an almost perfect circle. Those are : The Church of the Virgin Mary, Saint Nichola's Church, SS Joachim's and Anne's Church /the King's Church/ and well preserved foundations of the St.John the Baptist's Church. The oldest and the most significant among Studenica Monastery structures is the Church of the Virgin Mary constructed between 1183 and 1196 in the brilliant combination of Byzantine Cathedral and Romanesque exterior details, entirely representing the so-called "Raska school" of architecture. The facades and sculptural decorations of the Virgin Mary Studenica Church were completed of white polished marble from neighboring Radocelo Mountain /like no other Serbian Monastery/ and crafted by the superb craftsmen-masters from Kotor, the maritime part of the Serbian Medieval State at that time. The exterior of the Virgin Mary Studenica Church is in the Romanesque spirit, while its fresco paintings bear the Byzantine characteristics. The Romanesque elements of the Holy Virgin Studenica Church are decorative façade finishing. The highest levels of the façade are done in characteristic arcade shaped friezes on consoles cut in stone. Monumental Studenica portals are characteristic as are the windows richly decorated by sculpture decorations, magnificent wet portal and particularly triforium on the altar apses, which dominates the eastern part of the Virgin Mary Studenica Church, thanks to its exquisitely carved plant motive decorum and phantasmagoric creatures, as a winged dragon and basiliscus, with a long snake tale. In 1245 King Radoslav added the large narthex with semi-circular chapels at the western side of the Church of the Virgin Mary.
Studenica Monastery enjoyed continual care by the members of the Nemanjic dynasty in the Medieval era, and served as model for the churches of Rascie, and became the royal funeral church. The oldest monumental frescoes of Studenica complex, done by anonymous artist from Constantinople date back from 1208 and represent the corner-stone of the fresco-painting of the entire Byzantine Empire. The most significant amongst all Studenica Monastery frescoes is the most celebrated and monumentalCrucifixion painted on the western wall of the Holy Virgin Church with the exquisite portrait of the Christ featuring the calm facial expression that represents outstanding pain and overwhelming dignity. On the south wall of the Holy Virgin Church of Studenica Monastery there is the "founders' composition" which shows the Blessed Virgin taking Stefan Nemanja – Monk Simeon the Myrovlyte /St. Symeon the Myrrhbearer/ with the church model to Jesus Christ.
The Church of St. Nicholas was erected in the early 13th century. It is one nave church which is also fresco-painted, but this time by Serbian painters. The King's Church /Church of Saint Joachim and Anne/ with its octagonal bright red cupola over the graceful architectural structure of the basis of reduced cross was built in 1313. By its artistic significance the Kings Church is the most important amongst shrines of Studenica complex and was named after its endower, King Milutin. The brilliant frescoes of the King s Church perform density of forms and volumetric rendering of faces. Those frescoes were painted by Michael and Eutyches immediately after the construction of the church and especially those that depict King Milutin, his wife Simonida /Simonis/, St. Sava and St.Simeon the Myrovlyte are considered the finest portraits of the middle ages and the master-pieces of the Byzantine art of the beginning of the 14th century.
Exceptional Medieval monument inside Studenica Monastery Complex is the circular wall, which has two fortified gates (churches, refectories, monks' quarters from the 13th to the 18th centuries), but also extremely significant surroundings. In the protected Studenica zone there is a host of churches and hermitages, the marble quarries from which the blocks for the Church of the Virgin Mary were drawn and the remains of a medieval settlement of quarrymen and stonecutters. From 1986 Studenica Monastery is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Holy Virgin Mary Church of Studenica keeps the myrrh-flowing and incorruptible holy relics of Venerated Stefan Nemanja – monk Simeon, as well as other notable Serbian rulers and saints to whom faithful believers venerate and thank in their prayers : Ana – the wife of Stefan Nemanja /the sanctified Anastasija/, King Vukan /the oldest son of Stefan Nemanja/, King Stefan Prvovencani – the First Crowned /the sanctified monk Simon/, King Radoslav /the oldest son of Stefan Prvovencani – the First Crowned/ and other. Prayers, serenity and divine appearances and celestial Byzantine-blue color of the magnificent Studenica frescoes, whose kilo was twice worth than a kilo of gold in Medieval era, make uniqueness of Studenica Monastery complex.
Studenica Monastery complex is the spiritual center of the Serbian Medieval Nemanjic Dynasty harmoniously united with the intact natural ambiance of Radocelo Mountain and features unique spirituality, serenity and warmth. Dormitory of Studenica Monastery /hospice/ has been built several years ago in authentic Serbian architectural style, whose accommodation comfort, related to 3 stars object, within the tranquility of the most significant Serbian monastery and preserved nature boons provides enlightened and pleasant stay to numerous believers and guests. Studenica Monastery Dormitory encompasses single, double, three-bed rooms and multi-bed rooms with bathrooms /some of rooms overlooking the monastery/ that are furnished in massive wood, with icons calling for prayer, according to the ambiance and rules of the shrine. There is spacious dining room in the basement of the Dormitory decorated with photos of Studenica Monastery and other Serbian monasteries and saints, where vegan meals /without meat and dairy products/ or river trout or traditional dishes prepared from ingredients produced on vast monastery property are served. The tiny open porch is especially pleasant spot to enjoy the glass of monastic wine and the spirituality of the entire complex, attributed in the facade whiteness and the wooden construction of the Studenica Monastery Dormitory, providing remarkable harmony.
Studenica Monastery is an outstanding example of a Monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church and belongs to the highest point of the Serbian history. All of those features make visit to majestic Studenica Monastery a spiritual and cultural invigoration that lasts long.


Watered by the river Segura, Archena is a fertile agricultural settlement at the lower end of the Ricote valley. Considered as the region's oasis, views are dominated by the rugged nearby mountains.
Its excellent spa baths, in use since Roman times, rounds off Archena's charm. The waters that spring from the ground at 50ºC have healing properties and can be experience at leisure in the spa complex which offers a wide range of other services. The church dedicated to La Virgen de la Salud (Our Lady of Good Health), the patron saint of Archena, stands within the grounds of the spa complex and is also one of the town's visitor attractions.
The history of Archena dates from Iberian times and it has archaeological remains including the Warriors Vase, now in the National Archaeological Museum. Many historians place the origins of Archena in 234 BC, during Carthaginian control of the area. The present site, however, is of Roman Origin as is the name for the town. After the Reconquest Archena passed into the hands of the Order of St John the Baptist until the 19th century, evidence of which is to be found in the church dedicated to the saint.
B from benefit, B from balneary, B from beauty. Like an oasis inside of another, in a stunning natural spot located in the heart of the Valle de Ricote, the Balneario de Archena (Archena Spa Resort) is waiting for you! This complex of more than 2152.782 ft² is considered one of the best spa resorts of Spain and is a guaranteed success if you want to relax, become toned and experience great benefits from minerals. The truth is that after 15,000 years inside the Earth acquiring its therapeutic power, water from this spring is both calm and beneficial. Here you'll be able to enjoy the best facilities and the latest health and beauty treatments, without overlooking, of course, your own happiness.
Join the most typical and coastal route of the Region, the one of the poet Vicente Medina. This walk passes along the left side of the Segura River, between waterwheels, viewpoints and natural vignettes with a Moorish touch. If you wish, you'll be able to follow this path which goes from the Balneario de Archena to the municipality of Lorquí while experiencing how the most original verses of this poet from Archena come to your mind. In the vicinity of the Archena Museum, you'll have the opportunity of improving your quality of life and having a good time with the youngest ones of the family thanks to the outdoor fitness complex; all of this at the same time that you enjoy the best views of the municipality.
At the end of May or June, come to the procession of the Blessed Corpus Christi during the Saint Patron Festivities of Archena. You'll be surely fascinated by the flower carpets which neighbours prepare in the streets in order to welcome the step of the monstrance, the only one who can step on the carpets. These laborious works of art are made from petals of flowers, leaves of aromatic plants, sand, sawdust and salt, what offers a really colourful effect. The festivity also includes the election of queens and ladies, the wine parade, fairs, shows, sport and children's activities and a passionate pilgrimage.
At the same time as the local holidays take place, Archena celebrates the festivity of Moors and Christians, although they have an special way of doing it. For a week, different events are organised, such as passacaglias, arquebusiers, parades, floral tributes to the saint patrons and a parliament or embassy with a guerrilla force, where the signing of the Founding Letter by the Moorish people and the Hospitable Order of Saint John from Jerusalem, which was the owner of these lands during that period, is represented. Apart from the Huge Parade, another of the most mass events is the "noche miguera", when almost all the municipality participates in the competition of "gachasmigas" (traditional dish made with flour, water, garlic, olive oil and salt).
One of the places that it's compulsory to visit is the Archena Museum. Its external design is the first thing that catches one's attention, with a transparent glazing which allows to enjoy the beauty of the riverbank of the Segura river during its way along Archena. Inside the museum you'll be able to discover the real Thermal Village of Archena through its archaeological remains, historical pieces and other interesting objects of interest left by the different civilisations settled down here since prehistoric times, surely due to the fertility of its "huertas" (vegetable gardens), one of the most productive of the Region.
People always enjoy a good recipe, and in Archena there are many of them. Both for history and geography, the gastronomy of the Ricote Valley includes stews and pastries of its ancient settlers, the Moorish. Going together with the seasons, the basis of this gastronomy is composed of vegetables and fruits. When it rains, the most typical lunch is rice with rabbit meat and "gachasmigas". It's also typical the stew with fennels and white beans, especially during Lent; "michirones" (fava beans with bacon); Swiss chard vegetable soup; gypsy stew and "gachas", made just with flour, oil, water and salt. The "pebre" (bread soup with leg of lamb) and the garlic soup are also very popular. As for pastries, horn-shaped meringue puff pastries, éclairs filled with custard, and "negritos" (little cakes) filled with meringue and covered with chocolate stand out. Besides, jam-making process, specially for peach and apricot jams, is a tradition still alive. During Christmas many homes continue making craft Christmas sweets with flour, almonds and lard; butter rolls, "cordiales" (little cakes made from eggs, almonds, spaghetti squash jam, sugar), and little cakes of spaghetti squash jam and anisette; and during Easter, don't forget to try Easter breads.
The church of San Juan Bautista is another compulsory visit in Archena. This baroque building from the end of the 18th century, built with the support of the neighbours from the municipality, is made with facing bricks and ashlar base. However, it stands out due to the simplicity and sobriety of its façade, whose style was similar to the following Academic art style of the 19th century. The original altarpiece, together with the statues, was destroyed during the Civil War, and nowadays imitates the Gothic style. Among the statues of the different altars, the Virgin of Sorrows, the Christ Crucified and the Nazarene stand out, as well as Our Lady of the Rosary, which is carved, Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of Piety.
The most ancient and important building of the locality of Archena is the Casa Grande, a Renaissance style building property of the Hospital Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. It was built in the 15th century and in its beginnings it was used as Casa de la Tercia (House of the Tercia) and grain warehouse. Each of its façades is different, but all of them respect the symmetry of the openings in the different orders of the main façade. It was deeply restructured in the 19th century, when the balcony running along the main façade was added. The beautiful eaves and the ironwork of the windows will catch your attention. The building, acquired by the City Council at the end of the 20th century, is nowadays the Casa Consistorial (Council House).
In your way to the core of the municipality, you'll find the Palacete de Villarías (Small Palace of Villarías), where there's one of the most successful museums among local people and tourists, the Museo del Esparto y Antigüedades de Archena (Museum of Esparto and Antiquities of Archena). Here you'll be able to enjoy countless craft objects made of esparto, implements and farm work tools for the "huerta" (vegetable garden). Among the most curious things a replica of the Church of San Juan Bautista, the Murcian well, and even a bikini made with this material stand out. Once you know what "cachuleros" (bag made in esparto usually used to store snails) and "seras" (basket made in esparto) are, and after enjoying the museum, you'll be able to visit the outside garden, where you'll find some surprises such as a protected eucalyptus with a circumference of six metres or a spot perfect for romantic spirits with ponds and waterfalls.
Archena watches over one of the most important and well-known archaeological sites from the Iberian period, El Cabezo del Tío Pío (The Hillock of the Uncle Pío). The digs revealed that in this place there was an Iberian town, inhabited from the 6th B.C. to the end of the 1st century of this era. Among the treasures found in the dig, twelve amphorae, cinerary urns, kalathos, Attic ceramics and weapons such as falcatas and soliferrum are the most important ones. But the jewel in the crown is the Glass of Warriors, a piece which is exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid, although a replica can be found in the Archena Museum.


The Spirits, or Nature Spirits, are the spirits and souls of the non-animate persons that reside in this world with us – the rocks and mountains, the winds, the rivers and oceans, the minerals, etc. These are also important and vital to a complete and rounded cosmology. Indeed, many cultures revered the local major mountain range/peak or river/lake as a deity in and of itself, or associated them as the home or power of an existing deity.

Джо́зеф Джу́но (Жозе́ф Жюно́, , 1836—1899) — канадский исследователь и золотоискатель французского происхождения. Вместе с Ричардом Харрисом в 1880 году открыл месторождение золота, а возникшее поселение вокруг него впоследствии получило название Джуно.

Биография
Джозеф Джуно родился в канадском городке Сен-Поль-л'Эрмит, провинция Квебек (позже вошел в состав Репантиньи), в семье Франсуа Ксавье Жюно () и Маргариты Тиффо Жюно (). В поисках работы он переехал в Висконсин, а после в Калифорнию в 1849 году.

Открытие золотой жилы
В 1880 году в городе Ситка горный инженер немецкого происхождения Георг Пилц предложил внушительную награду тому, кто сможет открыть золотоносный рудник для него. Вскоре нашлись желающие и экспедицию возглавили Ричард Харрис и Джозеф Джуно, отправившись на поиски к проливу Гастино. Экспедицию организовали исследователи Джо Джуно и Ричард Харрис, впоследствии нашедшие самородки на берегах пролива. 18 октября 1880 года члены экспедиции разбили лагерь и вскоре появился первый рудник. В течение года лагерь преобразовался в небольшой город, который стал первым появившийся на Аляске после её перехода в состав США. Изначально лагерь носил название Харрисбург, по имени Ричарда Харриса, но спустя некоторое время, его переименовали на Роквелл, по имени лейтенанта Чарльза Роквелла. Современно название поселение получило в 1881 году, когда шахтёры приняли решение переименовать его в Джуно. Изначально планировалось назвать поселение в честь организатора экспедиции — инженера Георга Пилца. Однако, голосованием на собрании шахтёров, которых выпивкой подкупил Джозеф, победил вариант — Джуно.

Первые попытки заканчивались неудачей и золотоискатели возвратились с пустыми руками, но были отправлены обратно. В поисках золота копатели заручились поддержкой местного коренного населения. Индеец по имени Тлингит, что бы вождём племени Кови, согласился помочь искателям. Взамен ему были предоставлены одеяла в качестве оплаты услуг. Последующие попытки были успешными и принесли добычу более чем на 100 тыс. долларов (453 кг), которую доставили на каноэ в город Ситка. Впоследствии Джуно переехал в Доусон, территория Юкон, где в 1890 году началась Клондайкская золотая лихорадка. В этом городе он обзавёлся небольшим бизнесом. Своё первое золото на новом месте Джуно нашёл на берегах реки Фортимайл.

Смерть
Джозеф Джуно умер от пневмонии в марте 1899 года в городе Доусон. В своём завещании он распорядился перевезти его тело в город Джуно и захоронить с почестями на местном кладбище, на что также выделил 400 долларов. Церемония захоронения состоялась 16 августа 1903 года.

Eddie Murphy's wives and girlfriends: How many baby mamas does he have?
Tue Aug 28, 2018 at 1:48pm ET Fri Jul 03, 2020 at 1:48 pm EDT
By Shaunee Flowers
Eddie Murphy and his girlfriend are expecting baby number ten for him
In case you might be wondering, Eddie Murphy isn't having any fertility issues. The Coming To America actor is making headlines after it was revealed that he's about to be a father for the tenth time.
This upcoming addition to the family has some asking questions about Eddie Murphy's children and the women who mothered them. So how many baby mamas does Eddie Murphy have? The answer to that is five.
When Paige Butcher gives birth to baby number ten, the number of baby mamas won't be changing since Paige gave birth to baby number nine as well. The pair have been together for nearly seven years now, so it's not like the latest baby is a complete shocker.
A post shared by siterg (@siterg) on Aug 28, 2018 at 7:43am PDT
Eddie Murphy has been making babies for decades now. Eric Murphy is the oldest of the Murphy kids at 29 years old. His mother is Paulette McNeely.
Not much is known about Paulette. As the New York Post pointed out, Paulette isn't in the public eye and there aren't pictures of her floating around.
Angie Lantry: Who is the Big Brother 20 houseguest?
Eddie and his former wife Nicole Mitchell had five children together. Nicole holds the distinction of being the only one of Eddie Murphy's baby mamas to have actually been married to him. During their 13 years of marriage, they had Bria, Zola, Miles, Shayne, and Bella, who range in ages from 16 to 28 years old.

Those who tuned in to the now-canceled Hollywood Exes got to know Nicole Murphy much better, as she was one of the stars of the reality series. After divorcing Eddie Murphy, she moved on to Michael Strahan, whom she dated for five years.
His first two children were still in diapers when Eddie became a father for the third time with Tamara Hood. Eddie Murphy's second son's name is Christian and he is 27 years old.
It's no longer a secret that Eddie Murphy also fathered a child with Mel B from the Spice Girls. Her name is Angel and she's 11 years old now.
Are you ready for @agt tonight?
A post shared by Scary Spice Mel b (@officialmelb) on Aug 21, 2018 at 5:00pm PDT
Mel B's relationship with Eddie Murphy is the rockiest of his exes and their drama has even spilled into Mel's divorce from Stephen Belafonte. In court documents, Belafonte made claims that Eddie wasn't interested in parenting Angel Iris and that she has called him dad since she learned how to speak.
However, it has been reported that Eddie and Mel have been working out their differences since she split from Stephen Belafonte. You may have noticed in the family photo above that Eddie and his current girlfriend Paige Butcher were posing with all of his children except Angel.
Eddie's ninth child is two-year-old Izzy, mothered by Paige. After Eddie and Paige were spotted out with her baby bump on full display, his agent confirmed that Paige is due in December.
Eddie Murphy is expecting his 10th Child : Congratulations are in order for #EddieMurphy who is expecting his 10th Child with his longtime 39-year-old girlfriend #PaigeButcher. The 57-year old actor confirmed that they are indeed pregnant after Paige was spotted with a baby bump : His rep confirmed to ET that the baby is due in December. : Eddie Murphy and Paige are already parents to a two-year-old daughter named Izzy but this will be the 10th child for Eddie, who is a dad to eight other children from four previous relationships.
A post shared by Ellez Sandas (@ellezsandasblog) on Aug 28, 2018 at 3:37am PDT
Eddie Murphy is known for having close relationships with his children. Even though he has a lot of kids and you might even say that he had them with a lot of women, he does reportedly go out of his way to foster relationships with all of them.

Petr Cech (born 20 May 1982) is a former Czech professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He last played for Premier League club Arsenal. He is widely regarded by players, pundits and managers as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
Born in Plzen, Cech began his senior career at Chmel Blsany in 1999, where he played sporadically for two seasons prior to relocating to domestic superpower Sparta Prague in 2001. At age 19, Cech became a first team regular, and his single campaign with the club was fruitful, as he registered a league record of not conceding a goal in 903 competitive minutes. This garnered him his first move abroad, when he relocated to France to join Ligue 1 side Rennes for a fee of EUR5.5 million (£3.9 million) in 2002.
In France, Cech starred in an under-performing team, and soon moved to Premier League side Chelsea for a fee of £7 million (EUR9.8 million) in 2004, which was then a club record transfer for a goalkeeper. During his eleven year stay at the club, Cech registered 494 senior appearances, making him the club's highest overseas appearance maker, and sixth all-time. He also helped the club win four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, one UEFA Europa League title, and one UEFA Champions League title. He also holds the club all-time record for clean sheets, with 228. Cech departed Chelsea in 2015 to join city rivals Arsenal for a fee of £10 million, where he won another FA Cup before retiring in 2019.
A Czech international, Cech made his debut with the Czech Republic in 2002, and is the most capped player in the history of the Czech national team, with 124 caps. He also represented his country at the 2006 World Cup, as well as the 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 European Championships. He was voted into the Euro 2004 All-Star team after helping the Czechs reach the semi-finals, and also served as the team's captain, prior to retiring from international competition in 2016. Cech also holds the record for the most Czech Footballer of the Year and Czech Golden Ball wins.
Cech holds a number of goalkeeping records, including the Premier League record for fewest appearances required to reach 100 clean sheets, having done so in 180 appearances, the most number of clean sheets in a season (24), as well as the record for the most clean sheets in Premier League history (202). Cech is also the only goalkeeper to have won the Premier League Golden Glove with two separate clubs, and has won it a joint record four times; in 2004-05, 2009-10, 2013-14 and the 2015-16. He was voted the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper in 2005, received the award of Best Goalkeeper in the 2004-05, 2006-07 and 2007-08 editions of the UEFA Champions League, and went 1,025 minutes without conceding a goal in 2004-05, which was also a Premier League record.

[Website](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info)  | [Download](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/download) | [Setup](../README.md)  |  [Xthin](bu-xthin.md)  |  [Xpedited](bu-xpedited-forwarding.md)  |   [Miner](miner.md)

# How to setup and get the best results using Xpedited forwarding

## What is Xpedited Forwarding

Xpedited Forwarding is a decentralised rapid block propagation system designed to replace the centralised Relay Network.  Anyone
can participate in or easily setup their own Xpedited Network.

The forwarding mechanism while simple to understand uses several enhancements to speed the delivery of newly mined blocks
throughout the world and most importantly to other miners.  Essentially when one participates in the network, as soon as a new block
is found, an Xthin-format block is forwarded to every node you are connected to that has requested expedited forwarding.  When they receive
the Xthin-format block, the header is quickly checked to make sure it is valid (and of appropriate difficulty) and then forwarded to the next
set of nodes and so on.

It's important to note that the block is verified and accepted only after being forwarded.  And the normal 3-phase  conversation (INV, GET, response) is reduced to a single send.  This allows for a much faster propagation through
the network.

Furthermore, upstream expedited peers will not be banned or disconnected for any reason due to any misbehavior. For
example, Node 'A' which initiates the expedited connection to node 'B' will not ban node 'B' in the event that any
expedited blocks which are forwarded to the node 'A' fail to reconstruct in any way.

## Setting up an Xpedited connection

Xpedited connections can only be set up by the node that will be receiving the Xpedited data.

There are two ways to setup Xpedited connections.  First, you can use the `expedited` command in the bitcoin-cli or RPC calls to
request expedited service from a particular node (use "addnode <IP> onetry" to make sure you are connected first).  However, if
your connection to this node is dropped, or your node is reset, expedited service will not be re-established until you run the
`expedited` command again.

The recommended method is to add entries in your bitcoin.conf file.  With this mechanism the configuration will persist and Xpedited service
will be restarted when either your node or the other is restarted.

### Setting up an Xpedited connection using bitcoin.conf

Two bitcoin.conf entries need to be made.  One is the `addnode` connection which opens the connection to the remote peer and the
second is the `expeditedblock` entry which makes the request to begin the receipt of Xpedited blocks from this peer.

	addnode=<ip:port>
	expeditedblock=<ip:port>

You can have muliple `addnode` and expedited entries up to a maximum of 8 connections.  See the following example:

	addnode=10.233.34.33:8333
	expeditedblock=10.233.34.33:8333
	addnode=11.222.34.55:10500
	expeditedblock=11.222.34.55:10500
	addnode=45.33.223.34
	expeditedblock=45.33.223.34
	addnode=45.33.233.45:8333
	expeditedblock=45.33.233.45:8333
	addnode=42.33.233.45:8333
	expeditedblock=42.33.233.45:8333
	addnode=15.33.233.45:8333
	expeditedblock=15.33.233.45:8333
	addnode=45.33.22.45:8333
	expeditedblock=45.33.22.45:8333
	addnode=145.33.233.45:8333
	expeditedblock=145.33.233.45:8333

### Setting up an Xpedited connection with RPC

You can also setup connections using the RPC interface, however once you restart your node the Xpedited forwarding will no longer be in effect
and you will have to re-request forwarding unless you use a script of some kind to send the forwarding requests.

First, make sure the node you want expedited connections from is actually connected:
       getpeerinfo | grep "node IP addr"

If not:
       addnode "node IP addr" onetry

Using RPC is simple as follows:

	expedited block|tx "node IP addr" on|off

For example, to turn on expedited forwarding of blocks from a remote peer to my peer you would enter the following:

	bitcoin-cli expedited block "192.168.0.6:8333" on

and to do the same for transaction forwarding I would enter:

	bitcoin-cli expedited tx "192.168.0.6:8333" on

To get more help on how to use the RPC commands you can type in "bitcoin-cli help expedited" from the command line, or if you ar using the debug console
then simply type "help expedited".

## Putting limits on forwarding

By default the maximum number of recipients that can request forwarding from your node is set to 3.  If you wish to limit that or reduce that
you can use the following settings.

	maxexpeditedblockrecipients=<n>
	maxexpeditedtxrecipients=<n>

"We are going to make sure that every vote is counted – because in a civilized nation, the machinery of democracy should work everywhere for everyone." ~ Stacey Abrams, Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate (D)

"Kemp's actions during the election were textbook voter suppression . . . [they] were strategic, careless and aimed at silencing the voting power of communities of color in the state." ~ Derrick Johnson, NAACP President
I love that Brian Kemp declared himself the victor in a race that is almost certain to go to a runoff. I guess we all need to dream (nice way of saying that he's deluded). At least he finally resigned his Georgia Secretary of State position, something he should have done before he started his suppression tactics.
Anyway, as of today, votes are still being tallied in many races, including that bastion of questionable close races: Florida. Of course we can count on 45 to make another stupid Twitter comment about it: "Law Enforcement is looking into another big corruption scandal having to do with Election Fraud in #Broward and Palm Beach."
Republican Senatorial candidate Gov. Rick Scott started yelling fraud as soon as the margin began to close between him and Florida's incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson. David Becker, a former Justice Department voting-rights lawyer, commented that "these counties haven't even finished counting ballots. This is all about winning and nothing about fraud, but it comes at the cost of delegitimizing our own democracy."
Nevertheless, Democratic gains as of today are 30 seats in the House, with about 12 races still too close to call. This year's midterms were significant for so many reasons, not the least of which was the incredibly diverse slate of candidates. According to an article in Market Watch, "At least 244 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender candidates ran for office on all levels of government this year, including 21 candidates for Congress and four for governor."
More importantly, with a record number of women voting, running, and winning, this race saw an historic number of firsts for women: first Muslims, youngest, first Latinas, first women of color, first Native Americans. In January, women will comprise 22 percent on Congressional makeup (up from 20 percent); still not enough, but definitely better than before. This article lists details.

We realize you may have a few questions, like what size dumpster do I need or how much is this going to cost. Just give us a call and one of our specialists in Armada, Michigan will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If your looking to rent a roll off container in Armada, don't accept slow responding companies or late deliveries. For over 15 year's we have delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them. Give us a call today to experience why we're the #1 affordable dumpster rental company nationwide.
When working on a new job, thinking of how to dispose of the garbage you'll produce is likely the last thing on your mind, but it's just as vital as deciding which approach you're going to take on your task. Some people in Armada are just looking to get rid of some junk that's been littering their property, while others are embarking on a huge construction project. Picking the right dumpster may seem like a simple task, but there are often weight and regulation factors that must be taken in order to make sure you won't spend more money than you need to.
It's important to consider think about your budget and how much you're willing to spend when renting a dumpster to remove your unwanted materials. Fuel costs, disposal locations and even permits depending on the materials can all be huge factors in your rental decision. You should carefully consider the materials you'll be disposing of in Armada first, so that you don't run into unforeseen costs down the road.
Deciding on which size dumpster to rent is going to be the most cost effective decision you make. Although you don't want to go too far over what size you think you're going to need, it's always better to overestimate your size than underestimate, because you don't want to have to rent another one for a small amount of garbage. The most used sized dumpsters will be between 10 and 40 cubic yards, so there is a size that fits any job you may have. An ideal sized dumpster for a medium job, such as cleaning out a garage, would be a 20 cubic yard option. It's a good idea to inform your dumpster rental company in Armada and let them know the types of materials you'll be throwing away, that way you can ensure you get the proper sized dumpster for your job.
Before spending the money to rent a dumpster, be sure to ask the company about any weight restrictions. Your dumpster can fill up very rapidly depending on the garbage you're throwing in there. Because of this, it's important to keep an eye on the weight of the things you're throwing away, since no one wants to incur extra fees due to exceeding weight restrictions. Depending on the regulations in Armada, you may also have to pay disposal and landfill fees if you are using particularly hazardous materials.
The various types of waste that you'll be disposing of will determine cost and dumpster you're going to want to choose. Some people only have several large items like furniture or old appliances and if that's the case, then you could also consider junk removal services that may be a better fit for you. A 10 cubic yard dumpster is good for basement or garage cleanouts with a limited amount of waste. Finding out precisely what types of trash is acceptable to be thrown in your dumpster in Armada is another important point to think about. Check with your dumpster vendor on prohibited items like batteries, food waste, grease or large appliances like refrigerators that are often not accepted.
How much a dumpster rental costs is determined by a variety of different factors. The majority of dumpster service providers give you a no-cost estimate for their services. Obviously, larger containers can carry far more volume and weight. It is going to be more work to transport a large container, even if it's not at capacity, since it requires more effort. Due to these factors, renting a bigger dumpster will always be more expensive than a smaller one.
When deciding on a dumpster rental company it's typically best to go with one in the local Armada area. Local businesses will already know the regulations, recycling and disposal procedures associated with local laws, which can save you some hassle in the long run. They also know where particular waste materials can be disposed of. Take your time when looking for dumpster rentals to choose the perfect one for your task, and plan accordingly to provide your rental company with as many details as possible.

We hope you could shed light on this matter.
Officer 02:59 PM, Sep 01, 2022
Dear Ms. Durano,
Thank you for your request dated Aug 18, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Guidelines in the procurement of services of intermediaries under a Collect-Aggregate-Remit Scheme.
We received your request on Aug 18, 2022 and will respond on or before Sep 08, 2022 04:57:09 PM, in accordance with the Executive Order's implementing rules and regulations.
Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHgsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEUdQUEItMjE4NzcxNDE0MTk0DA, for request with ticket number #GPPB-218771414194.
FOI Officer
GPPB-TSO 11:36 AM, Sep 16, 2022
Thank you for your request dated Aug 18, 2022 04:57:09 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
You inquired how intermediaries, other than AGDBs, engaged under a Collect-Aggregate-Remit or Transfer-Distribute-Liquidate Scheme shall be contracted without cost in compliance with Republic Act No. 9184 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), pursuant to COA Circular No. 2021-014.
Your FOI Request is partially successful.
To respond to your inquiry, attached herewith is Non-Policy Matter No. 007-2019 which provides guidance as to the applicability of the provisions of Republic Act No. 9184 in the selection of third-party collection agencies.
Bear in mind that the legal basis cited for the issuance of COA Circular No. 2021-014 are the following attached files:
a.  the Department of Finance and Department of Trade and Industry Joint Department Administrative Order (JDAO) No. 02, series of 2006
b. JDAO No. 10-01, series of 2010; and
c. Republic Act No. 8792 or the Electronic Commerce Act.
Thus, it is deemed best that the foregoing legal basis be examined, specifically whether the procurement of intermediaries has been initially intended under the above issuances, and harmonized with the COA Circular provision.
It must also be emphasized that the matter of inquiry is pending the following intergovernment discussions:
a. The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for Executive Order No. 170, series of 2022; and
b. The proposed bills both in the Senate and the House of Representatives for the adoption of digital payment for government transactions.
Pending such discussions and considering the inter-agency stakeholders involved, it may also be premature for this office to provide by itself the guidelines on your inquiry.
Similar to our efforts to clarify this, we urge you to also consult with the Commission on Audit, the Department of Budget and Management, and the Department of Finance regarding this.
If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Executive Director, Atty. Rowena Candice M. Ruiz, thru e-mail address at foi-dm@gppb.gov.ph. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you about the result within thirty (30) calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.

The last thing the New Orleans French Quarter bartender said to Cocktail & Sons co-founder Max Messier as he headed out the door? "Do you want anything for the walk?" Ah, New Orleans; home of the go cup, how unique you are.
Or were. Though it's still just a few cities like New Orleans, Memphis, Savannah and Canton, Ohio that allow walking and open drinking on its streets, one of the biggest trends spotted at this year's WSWA was a nod to portability.
More and more suppliers are offering, and distributors know they need to be carrying, these wines, spirits and cocktails now readily available in totable vessels. As a law-abiding industry, this growth in the take it on-the-go beverage sector is not about flouting open container laws. Rather, the industry is tapping the intersection of convenience and entertaining and finding a newly popular delivery method for the wine and alcohol to take center stage.
At the 74th annual Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America Convention & Exposition (WSWA) 2017, which housed 210 exhibitors across two exhibit halls at Grande Lakes Orlando, a joint JW Marriott/Ritz-Carlton property, numerous brands turned up to launch their products and introduce themselves to a wider audience with hopes of gaining a bigger distribution foothold. The spectrum ranged from canned Bloody Marys to wine in a can, wine in a pouch – dubbed by one industry insider as "Capri Fun!" – and whisky and vodka in a box.
After the concert, there's somewhere else to enjoy the music, and that's also where canned wine and alcohol sales can benefit — at home. Statistics from Mango Bottling Inc. show, for instance, that 55% of women 25 to 40 are entertaining at home hosting cookouts, pool parties, etc. which means those opportunities for portable potables are increasing.
Making taking it to go a great idea to run with.

Read Hiroshima in the Morning Online
Authors: Rahna Reiko Rizzuto
Hiroshima in the Morning (6 page)
BOOK: Hiroshima in the Morning
In the end, I went to 7-Eleven. At least it wasn't McDonalds—where the windows are plastered with pictures of a bun that appears to be filled solely with mayonnaise and three small cocktail shrimp. More on that in the next installment of the gaijin in Japan!
THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL in my head with Shirley Temple curls and freckles playing in a dust-swept road. She is the enemy. She looks about six, even though she shouldn't be: my mother was not five when she was released from the
internment camp, but no pictures survive from that time so age six is the youngest image I have of my mother, the only image I have from "wartime" was taken after the end of the war. Of course, this little girl—skirt flying, dancing with tumbleweeds—is not my mother, not exactly. She is my first character from my first book.
My mother could not remember the camps, so I invented them for her. That's how my first novel began. I made them up, pulling from a mixed bag of the photographs that could be taken, from the questions that the man with the yearbook at the internment camp "reunion" had asked, the man who wandered through the community center full of former internees eating home lunches of sushi rice and teriyaki, searching for anyone in the room who was three when he was three in camp, who might have been in a nearby block, who might have been his friend.
I pulled from dreams.
I created the children first—this little boy, the little girl who was his friend—and even while I was doing interviews, gathering the details of how the brick floors in the barracks had to be shellacked to keep the dirt from rising, I must have known I wasn't dreaming up a "book about the internment."
Write a potboiler,
a kindly, grandfatherly man had told me in passing, in the halls of one of the elder homes I visited to do my interviews.
That's what people want to read. The facts are boring.
His advice stuck, though I was never aware of following it. I began to fictionalize, to trace family ties that could never have existed but could still be realized and, more than that, could be made so persuasive
that my mother could fill in her past with them, tucking her adopted life into bed each night without acknowledging its true parentage until it was hers by nurture. I recreated my mother's memories before she began to lose her own, and now she too cannot remember what is real. I have been left with fragments of my own creation, with fictions, and now that I am in Japan, I'm discovering new creations and new memories of my mother—older, different—of times with her that I never experienced.
Like my mother as America's sweetheart.
Like my mother standing beside me, gazing at the A-bomb Dome. More a presence than a physical form, since I know she isn't truly there, but still real enough in my mind and the edge of my sight: a ruffle of my nerve endings as I find myself being pointed toward a thin white crane, stepping out from behind a crumbling wall to pose on one foot before disappearing again in the field of rubble.
WRITING IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY. It is a dream state, stop and start; it is a tangle of words and emotions that may not yield a single page at the end of a day. People ask me:
What is your book about? What do you want to know?
and I always answer, even though I know the answers will change. My first novel was not, in the end, written just because my mother was too young to remember the internment; it was not, as I would often say, merely about family secrets and splintered lives. When I stopped trying to verify the facts and started using them to open my imagination, my story began to circle in on motherhood, and on all the terrible
things a mother and child can do to each other. And in that very unconscious preoccupation, which I would have put a halt to had I become aware of it, the novel was about me.
For as long as I can remember, I never wanted to be a mother. From age twelve, when I was babysitting the neighbors' children for seventy-five cents an hour and spent the entire day locked out of the house while they ran wild inside it, motherhood was not for me. I was incapable of nurturing anyone younger than I was: I had a mental block—and a real antipathy—against making hats out of paper bags and other projects children supposedly liked to do. I had a recurring nightmare too: of a child who woke in the night wanting peanut butter, screaming for it when it wasn't in the cupboards, at a time when the stores were closed, when it was impossible to procure; screaming until the only question was whether it would be me or the child who went out the window. Children were greedy by nature; they would not ever, even when I was exhausted, consider my needs. And if this abstraction was based on nightmare and not experience, it felt quite real. As real as the fact that I was also greedy. I wanted my own time, my own money. My own life.
In order to test the possibilities of my own motherhood, I dreamed my way through a novel. I challenged my characters: Were they human? Loveable? Was it possible for them to heal? Under the protection of historical fiction, I explored the bonds and the effects of abandonment—someone else's choices, someone else's pain—until I had written my way out of my nightmares of peanut butter and into the
still unconscious hope that love would not require me to be anything other than what I was.
It was only days after I finished that manuscript that I became—accidentally—pregnant with my first child. Yet I still would not be aware of the link between them until it was pointed out to me by a stranger, several months after the novel was published. Even now, such a drastic, unconscious change makes me uneasy. If writing is truth-testing, a way for me to test the worst and see if I can bear it, then what am I testing now? I can feel myself moving again through my unconscious—it's these odd dreams of my mother, for one; she is appearing quite often, even when I'm awake. If my first novel took me into motherhood, where will this one take me? My mother is part of the vehicle, but not the answer yet.
any writers write to find out who they are, and what they think, and where they fit into the world. That's what I am doing, but I am doing it by tracing the Japanese Americans. Because, even though I am one, I grew up having no idea about them—as a group, or even as members of my family.
"I have grown up in peace and privilege, with no notion of war.
"So, when you ask me what I am doing here in Hiroshima, I can say I am following the Japanese Americans. I am looking at history through their eyes. World War II, in particular, was very significant for Japanese Americans because they were caught in the middle, and distrusted by both countries. Being "outside" a country, though, also gave them a more objective look at the war. They didn't have a government to spin out rhetoric and tell them what to think, to terrify them with visions of an enemy nation of fanatics and strange food. I am seeking the memories of a select few who were interned in the American camps and then repatriated to Japan to help me weave some very important missing experiences back into the fabric of our history—for Americans and for Japanese people:
"Namely, what war looks like. What it smells like. What tiny bits of humanity are destroyed in each person, daily, in its great tide."
—author's presentation at the YMCA, Hiroshima
FIRST TESTIMONY
THERE IS SOMETHING MUFFLED in the Japan I've encountered so far. As the goal of my own apartment remains out of reach, I have moved out of my hotel and into the World Friendship Center, a halfway house for peace pilgrims looking for a quick dip into Japan and its bomb history, with western bathrooms and breakfast. The rooms are clean, and if the location is not the most convenient in the city—ensconced on a tiny street behind the love hotels that line the river—the biggest drawback is the five day limit for staying there, after which point, there is another five day option across the river. After that, I am out of luck. I can stay in a hotel for the duration or do what the other stray foreigners in Hiroshima do: leave.
Do I want to give up, or am I just tired of not knowing, and of not being able to say?
On this, my first morning at the World Friendship Center, I will hear a noise in the part of the building I was told was the kitchen and come downstairs to find a young woman. In this moment, my life will change. I will meet Ami, a girl who looks much younger than I am, though she will turn out to be almost thirty, a volunteer who turns only partially to greet me, her hands busy on the counter with breakfast. I am too new in Japan to notice how casual Ami's clothes are: a pair of jeans and a frilly, capped-sleeve white top; too unschooled in Japanese beauty to notice that her
hair has been combed into a plain ponytail. There are no lines penciled on this female face, no makeup at all; only a mole on one fresh cheek.
Ohayo gozaimasu
," I offer.
"Good morning," Ami says, and there it is: excellent English. For an instant, I allow myself to hope that this might mean true communication, until Ami begins apologizing for the absence of the American couple who run the otherwise empty center, who would surely have canceled their yearly vacation if only they could have divined that I would appear. It's a speech as convoluted, as Japanese, as any I've heard so far, but her demeanor—when do I begin to sense it?—is not quite so deferential. Her back is to me as she assures me they will not fail me again, as they did in the stretch when the phone was not answered. Ami herself will do her best to take care of me, she is focused on her task, which is, of course, my breakfast.
want egg salad for breakfast?
Like, fried eggs on salad?
I imagine saying this, with some hope, though the chopped boiled eggs are arrayed before me, their vaguely green yokes crumbling, along with the mayonnaise and raw onions I have never been able to stomach and can't imagine eating in the morning.
Ami has turned to place a cup of green tea on the linoleum card table. She smiles. "It's my favorite. All Americans like it very much."
Where, oh where is the vending machine with cold coffee in a can when I need it and why did I ever leave the hotel? I want to refuse, but can't think of what to say as
Ami tosses the salad together and arranges it on lettuce on two plates. Instead, I drink my tea and answer Ami's casual questions about what I've seen so far. Although her way of speaking does seem Japanese, as I have come to understand that term—overly polite, elliptical—her manner is direct, even amused as she notes my lack of progress with the egg salad. She devours her own and then asks, "So, you came here to speak to the
"Yes." This is what I've been telling her for ten minutes.
"And you still haven't spoken to a single one?"
Ami's eyes are warmer than the question and something of a shock. I understand at that moment that no Japanese person has looked directly into my eyes since I got here. As I rerun the calls I've made, and the fact that no one has agreed to talk to me, Ami pulls my untouched plate towards her and begins to eat.
"There are a lot of them, still, though of course they are dying," Ami says. The point of this statement is unclear, though it sounds vaguely like an offer. "You're in luck today, unless you have plans this afternoon? Yamada-san is coming."
Yamada-san, Ami says, is on the board of directors of the World Friendship Center. At one o'clock he will give his testimony about his atomic bomb experience "for the foreign visitors."
It will be my first interview, if you can call it that. It's almost surreal how simple it is, and also how vague. I will hear a real survivor tell his story, and even though I stumbled onto it, still, it is progress. I want to ask Ami about the
others, the "lots of them" she mentioned, but I can't figure out how to do it without seeming greedy and inept. Ami's question,
You haven't spoken to a single one?
still stings; it's something I would have expected of Brian perhaps, with its latent American sarcasm, but not from a Japanese woman who must surely understand how I cannot push. I find myself indicating that I will be hard at work on my laptop in my room between breakfast and the testimony, though I can't for a moment imagine sitting alone in my room waiting, and Ami assures me that she too is very busy this morning and will see me at one.
Once Ami leaves, I step out into the streets of this new area of town, making a careful note of my turns so I can find my way back through the tiny houses that all look the same. The sun is beating down on the pavement—Hiroshima is a shockingly concrete and asphalt experience and the
mushi atsui
air calls forth more sweat than a sauna. I am looking for coffee and a doughnut, neither of which I will find, trying to hasten the morning. The center of the city, which I've already explored, is too far by foot and on the other side of the river—even though I know I still have hours to waste, my heightened pulse assures me I could never make it there and back before the
arrives. I can hear how that sounds, "the
," but what else to call him? I have no image of him; he is not mine to imagine. I drift down the street, past the love hotels, distinguished by the fact that their garage entrances are fringed like car washes so no one can read the license plates inside, waiting for the moment when I can turn back to the World Friendship Center. My breath is
catching in my chest, just as it does whenever I'm at the top of a roller coaster. It must be excitement, then, though I hate roller coasters. I follow the river, which is low and resembles the runoff from a well-used mop, trying to breathe.
My walk turns out to be longer than I thought it could be in that neighborhood, and when I return, Ami is there as well, arranging individually wrapped cookies on a plate. She greets me without commenting on my absence and waves in the direction of the living room, where people are beginning to assemble. I gather myself, thankful for the notebook I thought to bring outside with me, hovering near Ami until there are several old Japanese women on the sofas, and a family of long-legged Australian teenagers in hot pants and tank tops, and a bag of shrimp chips. It takes me forever to cross the hallway, the living room growing larger with every step, but when Ami seems to have assembled everything there is to serve, I reach the threshold.

Q: PHP sendmail if elseif I'm trying all day and can't get this to work.
I have four input type="radio" name="sector" value="value1" but can't get this to work.
function emailtotest($to) {
    if (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value1') {
        $to .= 'email1@domain.com';
    } elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value2') {
        $to .= 'email2@domain.com';
    } elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value3') {
        $to .= 'email3@domain.com';
    } elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value4') {
        $to .= 'email4@domain.com';
    } else {
        $to .= 'email5@domain.com';
    }
    return $to;
}

I already test the sendmail.php and it's working perfectly if I declare $to = email@dominio.com, but with the radio inputs won't work.
Any help please?
The form code:
    <form id="contactForm" action="sendmail.php" method="post">

        Nome

        <input type="text" id="nome" name="nome" required="required" class="input_full">

        Telefone

        <input type="tel" id="tel" name="tel" required="required" class="input_full">

        E-mail

        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="nome@exemplo.com" required="required" class="input_full">

            <input type="radio" id="radio_1" name="sector" value="value1">
            Comercial / Marketing

            <input type="radio" id="radio_2" name="sector" value="value2">
            Produto / Manutenção

            <input type="radio" id="radio_3" name="sector" value="value3">
            Financeiro

            <input type="radio" id="radio_4" name="sector" value="value4">
            Administração

        Mensagem

        <textarea id="mensagem" name="mensagem" rows="5" placeholder="Escreva aqui sua mensagem." required="required" class="input_full"></textarea>

        <input type="submit" value="Enviar →">

</form>

A: Hm HTML part looks ok but try to correct this:
function emailtotest($to) {
if (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value1') {
    $to = 'email1@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value2') {
    $to = 'email2@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value3') {
    $to = 'email3@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value4') {
    $to = 'email4@domain.com';
} else {
    $to = 'email5@domain.com';
}
return $to;

}
So instead of $to .= "email.."; use just $to = "email"; so without dot before =
Why?
Because if you use .= it means that you add a value to existing value. So example if $to already contains this value: email@email.com and then you use $to.= "email1@email.com"; then $to will contains BOTH values and will look like this: email@email.comemail1@email.com
Which is not really OK. The other (same) solution is also this:
function emailtotest($to) {
if (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value1') {
return 'email1@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value2') {
return 'email2@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value3') {
return 'email3@domain.com';
} elseif (strip_tags($_POST['sector']) == 'value4') {
return 'email4@domain.com';
} else {
return 'email5@domain.com';
}
}

That's one thing and another try NOT to using $_POST in functions even it's global. Get the value from $_POST example:
$which = trim(strip_tags($_POST['sector'])); //get your checkbox value

And then call a function and take $which into function like:
$to_email = emailtotest($which); //call a function and take $which - value1, value2...
mail($to_email, "subject", "email txt"); //then send a mail to $to_email

function emailtotest($value){
if($value=='value1'){
return 'email1@domain.com';
}
else if ($value=='value2'){
return 'email2@domain.com'
.....
....
}

Iran Tied to DDoS Attacks Against U.S. Banks, Report
According to a report from the New York Times, Iran is to blame for a wave of DDoS attacks against several U.S. banks this summer. This nation-state attack was previously thought to be the work of a small band of hackers, but government officials and security researchers are now voicing their doubts.
Steve Ragan
"There is no doubt within the U.S. government that Iran is behind these attacks," James A. Lewis, a former official in the State and Commerce Departments and a computer security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told the Times.
Lewis said that traffic monitoring shows the overall volume directed at our nation's banks to be "multiple times" more than what Russia directed at Estonia in 2007 – routinely thought to be the first official nation-state attack.
The DDoS wave started towards the end of the summer last year, picking-up pace in October. None of the nation's financial giants were exempt, as traffic flooded the websites maintained by Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bancorp, PNC, Capital One, and Fifth Third Bank.
Security firm Radware reported on research in October that the criminals thought to be behind the attack, a group calling itself Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters, were using hijacked data center accounts to initiate the DDoS, and not a massive botnet. At the same time, the attack is all malicous traffic. No customer accounts have been compromised. However, intelligence officials dismiss the claims of the phantom group, and instead say it is simply a cover for Iranian government.
The only downside to the Times' report is that while officials were quick to blame Iran for the DDoS attacks, they could offer no proof that conclusively ties the nation to the criminal acts. The most anyone can speculate is that Iran is reacting to the development and deployment of Stuxnet and its sister malware strains (Flame and Duqu) by the U.S.
Cover or not, the group wrote on New Year's Day that no American bank would be safe from them.
"Rulers and officials of American banks must expect our massive attacks! From now on, none of the U.S. banks will be safe from our attacks."

Homelessness charity Framework, say they have no idea what the true extent of homelessness is in Mansfield and Ashfield, following the decommissioning of their Homelessness Prevention Work last March.
The charity say the area most affected has been Mansfield and that as result, rough sleeping will have risen.
Statics of rough sleepers have increased dramatically over the past ten years with 3,569 people recorded as sleeping on the streets on a single night in 2015 across the UK. Official figures show eight people were recorded sleeping rough in Mansfield in 2015, but Mr Redfearn says without the outreach service, it's extremely difficult to be accurate.


Beautiful 5-fold touch switch from the brand Heltun, unique in its kind because the product also has a built-in temperature, moisture and lightsensor!
This 5-fold touch switch from Heltun is a true addition to your smart home. The sleek design, combined with tempered glass, ensures a solid product that fits into any interior. Installation requires a little bit of electrical knowledge, but is also very simple.
Use the different switches to control your lights, scenes, shutters or other Z-wave motorized equipment and keep track of what they consume. And do you want this device to work together with, for example, a smart thermostat via your home automation controller, you can do that with the built-in humidity, temperature and light sensor.
The various built-in relays can be loaded up to 5A, but they can also be used without potential if you do not apply voltages or with alternative voltages such as 24V. As can be seen below, there are 2 inputs that are respectively connected to relays 1 and 2 and to 3,4 and 5.
But it does not stop; each relay can also be used in different ways. So they all have the function on / off, of course, but also an invert (inverse status) and hold function. With this last function you can therefore dim your lights with holding / releasing. Another useful function is the timer function, with which the relays can be programmed in such a way that after switching on they are also switched off after a time that has to be set. Handy for garage doors or curtains.

I just got a RX8. I can't get the smile off my face. This is the most powerfull car I have ever had. This car will out excelerate, corner and brake my 85 RX7 racecar (SCCA ITS). Redline is 9k rpm and the revlimiter kicks in @ 9.5K. Now I have to get some track time with this car.
I like overclocking computers, I love overclocking cars.

I had a 280zx. nonturbo. It would out stop anything. 24seven could outrun it though(on his bike). I loved it anyway.

Future hunt will be an 80s Mercedes G500 wagon looks just like the new ones that cost upwards of 75k will be a nice project.
