1. In our time, when day by day mankind is being drawn closer together, and the ties between different peoples are becoming stronger, the Church examines more closely her relationship to non-Christian religions. In her task of promoting unity and love among men, indeed among nations, she considers above all in this declaration what men have in common and what draws them to fellowship.
One is the community of all peoples, one their origin, for God made the whole human race to live over the face of the earth. (1) One also is their final goal, God. His providence, His manifestations of goodness, His saving design extend to all men, (2) until that time when the elect will be united in the Holy City, the city ablaze with the glory of God, where the nations will walk in His light. (3)
Men expect from the various religion's answers to the unsolved riddles of the human condition, which today, even as in former times, deeply stir the hearts of men: What is man? What is the meaning, the aim of our life? What is moral good, what is sin? Whence suffering and what purpose does it serve? Which is the road to true happiness? What is death, judgment and retribution after death? What, finally, is that ultimate inexpressible mystery which encompasses our existence: whence do we come, and where are we going?
2. From ancient times down to the present, there is found among various peoples a certain perception of that hidden power which hovers over the course of things and over the events of human history; at times some indeed have come to the recognition of a Supreme Being, or even of a Father. This perception and recognition penetrate their lives with a profound religious sense.
Religions, however, that are bound up with an advanced culture have struggled to answer the same questions by means of more refined concepts and a more developed language. Thus, in Hinduism, men contemplate the divine mystery and express it through an inexhaustible abundance of myths and through searching philosophical inquiry. They seek freedom from the anguish of our human condition either through ascetical practices or profound meditation or a flight to God with love and trust. Again, Buddhism, in its various forms, realizes the radical insufficiency of this changeable world; it teaches a way by which men, in a devout and confident spirit, may be able either to acquire the state of perfect liberation, or attain, by their own efforts or through higher help, supreme illumination. Likewise, other religions found everywhere try to counter the restlessness of the human heart, each in its own manner, by proposing "ways," comprising teachings, rules of life, and sacred rites. The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men. Indeed, she proclaims, and ever must proclaim Christ "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), in whom men may find the fullness of religious life, in whom God has reconciled all things to Himself. (4)
The Church, therefore, exhorts her sons, that through dialogue and collaboration with the followers of other religions, carried out with prudence and love and in witness to the Christian faith and life, they recognize, preserve and promote the good things, spiritual and moral, as well as the socio-cultural values found among these men.
3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, (5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems, this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom.
4. As the sacred synod searches into the mystery of the Church, it remembers the bond that spiritually ties the people of the New Covenant to Abraham's stock.
Thus, the Church of Christ acknowledges that, according to God's saving design, the beginnings of her faith and her election are found already among the Patriarchs, Moses and the prophets. She professes that all who believe in Christ-Abraham's sons according to faith (6)-are included in the same Patriarch's call, and likewise that the salvation of the Church is mysteriously foreshadowed by the chosen people's exodus from the land of bondage. The Church, therefore, cannot forget that she received the revelation of the Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible mercy concluded the Ancient Covenant. Nor can she forget that she draws sustenance from the root of that well-cultivated olive tree onto which have been grafted the wild shoots, the Gentiles. (7) Indeed, the Church believes that by His cross Christ, Our Peace, reconciled Jews and Gentiles. making both one in Himself. (8)
The Church keeps ever in mind the words of the Apostle about his kinsmen: "theirs is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the law and the worship and the promises; theirs are the fathers and from them is the Christ according to the flesh" (Rom. 9:4-5), the Son of the Virgin Mary. She also recalls that the Apostles, the Church's main-stay and pillars, as well as most of the early disciples who proclaimed Christ's Gospel to the world, sprang from the Jewish people.
As Holy Scripture testifies, Jerusalem did not recognize the time of her visitation,(9) nor did the Jews in large number, accept the Gospel; indeed not a few opposed its spreading.(10) Nevertheless, God holds the Jews most dear for the sake of their Fathers; He does not repent of the gifts He makes or of the calls He issues-such is the witness of the Apostle.(11) In company with the Prophets and the same Apostle, the Church awaits that day, known to God alone, on which all peoples will address the Lord in a single voice and "serve him shoulder to shoulder" (Soph. 3:9).(12)
Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is thus so great, this sacred synod wants to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit, above all, of biblical and theological studies as well as of fraternal dialogues.
True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ;(13) still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should see to it, then, that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ.
Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone.
Besides, as the Church has always held and holds now, Christ underwent His passion and death freely, because of the sins of men and out of infinite love, in order that all may reach salvation. It is, therefore, the burden of the Church's preaching to proclaim the cross of Christ as the sign of God's all-embracing love and as the fountain from which every grace flow.
5. We cannot truly call on God, the Father of all, if we refuse to treat in a brotherly way any man, created as he is in the image of God. Man's relation to God the Father and his relation to men his brothers are so linked together that Scripture says: "He who does not love does not know God" (1 John 4:8).
No foundation therefore remains for any theory or practice that leads to discrimination between man and man or people and people, so far as their human dignity and the rights flowing from it are concerned.
The Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against men or harassment of them because of their race, colour, condition of life, or religion. On the contrary, following in the footsteps of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, this sacred synod ardently implores the Christian faithful to "maintain good fellowship among the nations" (1 Peter 2:12), and, if possible, to live for their part in peace with all men, (14) so that they may truly be sons of the Father who is in heaven.

APOSTOLIC JOURNEY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (3-5 FEBRUARY 2019)
A DOCUMENT ON
HUMAN FRATERNITY
FOR WORLD PEACE AND LIVING TOGETHER
[ Multimedia ]
Faith leads a believer to see in the other a brother or sister to be supported and loved. Through faith in God, who has created the universe, creatures and all human beings (equal on account of his mercy), believers are called to express this human fraternity by safeguarding creation and the entire universe and supporting all persons, especially the poorest and those most in need.
This transcendental value served as the starting point for several meetings characterized by a friendly and fraternal atmosphere where we shared the joys, sorrows and problems of our contemporary world. We did this by considering scientific and technical progress, therapeutic achievements, the digital era, the mass media and communications. We reflected also on the level of poverty, conflict and suffering of so many brothers and sisters in different parts of the world as a consequence of the arms race, social injustice, corruption, inequality, moral decline, terrorism, discrimination, extremism and many other causes.
From our fraternal and open discussions, and from the meeting that expressed profound hope in a bright future for all human beings, the idea of this Document on Human Fraternity was conceived. It is a text that has been given honest and serious thought so as to be a joint declaration of good and heartfelt aspirations. It is a document that invites all persons who have faith in God and faith in human fraternity to unite and work together so that it may serve as a guide for future generations to advance a culture of mutual respect in the awareness of the great divine grace that makes all human beings' brothers and sisters.
In the name of God who has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and who has called them to live together as brothers and sisters, to fill the earth and make known the values of goodness, love and peace;
In the name of innocent human life that God has forbidden to kill, affirming that whoever kills a person is like one who kills the whole of humanity, and that whoever saves a person is like one who saves the whole of humanity;
In the name of the poor, the destitute, the marginalized and those most in need whom God has commanded us to help as a duty required of all persons, especially the wealthy and of means;
In the name of orphans, widows, refugees and those exiled from their homes and their countries; in the name of all victims of wars, persecution and injustice; in the name of the weak, those who live in fear, prisoners of war and those tortured in any part of the world, without distinction;
In the name of peoples who have lost their security, peace, and the possibility of living together, becoming victims of destruction, calamity and war;
In the name of human fraternity that embraces all human beings, unites them and renders them equal;
In the name of this fraternity torn apart by policies of extremism and division, by systems of unrestrained profit or by hateful ideological tendencies that manipulate the actions and the future of men and women;
In the name of freedom, that God has given to all human beings creating them free and distinguishing them by this gift;
In the name of justice and mercy, the foundations of prosperity and the cornerstone of faith;
In the name of all persons of good will present in every part of the world;
In the name of God and of everything stated thus far; Al-Azhar al-Sharif and the Muslims of the East and West, together with the Catholic Church and the Catholics of the East and West, declare the adoption of a culture of dialogue as the path; mutual cooperation as the code of conduct; reciprocal understanding as the method and standard.
We, who believe in God and in the final meeting with Him and His judgment, on the basis of our religious and moral responsibility, and through this Document, call upon ourselves, upon the leaders of the world as well as the architects of international policy and world economy, to work strenuously to spread the culture of tolerance and of living together in peace; to intervene at the earliest opportunity to stop the shedding of innocent blood and bring an end to wars, conflicts, environmental decay and the moral and cultural decline that the world is presently experiencing.
We call upon intellectuals, philosophers, religious figures, artists, media professionals and men and women of culture in every part of the world, to rediscover the values of peace, justice, goodness, beauty, human fraternity and coexistence in order to confirm the importance of these values as anchors of salvation for all, and to promote them everywhere.
This Declaration, setting out from a profound consideration of our contemporary reality, valuing its successes and in solidarity with its suffering, disasters and calamities, believes firmly that among the most important causes of the crises of the modern world are a desensitized human conscience, a distancing from religious values and a prevailing individualism accompanied by materialistic philosophies that deify the human person and introduce worldly and material values in place of supreme and transcendental principles.
While recognizing the positive steps taken by our modern civilization in the fields of science, technology, medicine, industry and welfare, especially in developed countries, we wish to emphasize that, associated with such historic advancements, great and valued as they are, there exists both a moral deterioration that influences international action and a weakening of spiritual values and responsibility. All this contributes to a general feeling of frustration, isolation and desperation leading many to fall either into a vortex of atheistic, agnostic or religious extremism, or into blind and fanatic extremism, which ultimately encourage forms of dependency and individual or collective self-destruction.
History shows that religious extremism, national extremism and also intolerance have produced in the world, be it in the East or West, what might be referred to as signs of a "third world war being fought piecemeal". In several parts of the world and in many tragic circumstances these signs have begun to be painfully apparent, as in those situations where the precise number of victims, widows and orphans is unknown. We see, in addition, other regions preparing to become theatres of new conflicts, with outbreaks of tension and a build-up of arms and ammunition, and all this in a global context overshadowed by uncertainty, disillusionment, fear of the future, and controlled by narrow-minded economic interests.
We likewise affirm that major political crises, situations of injustice and lack of equitable distribution of natural resources – which only a rich minority benefit from, to the detriment of the majority of the peoples of the earth – have generated, and continue to generate, vast numbers of poor, infirm and deceased persons. This leads to catastrophic crises that various countries have fallen victim to despite their natural resources and the resourcefulness of young people which characterize these nations. In the face of such crises that result in the deaths of millions of children – wasted away from poverty and hunger – there is an unacceptable silence on the international level.
It is clear in this context how the family as the fundamental nucleus of society and humanity is essential in bringing children into the world, raising them, educating them, and providing them with solid moral formation and domestic security. To attack the institution of the family, to regard it with contempt or to doubt its important role, is one of the most threatening evils of our era.
We affirm also the importance of awakening religious awareness and the need to revive this awareness in the hearts of new generations through sound education and an adherence to moral values and upright religious teachings. In this way we can confront tendencies that are individualistic, selfish, conflicting, and also address radicalism and blind extremism in all its forms and expressions.
The first and most important aim of religions is to believe in God, to honour Him and to invite all men and women to believe that this universe depends on a God who governs it. He is the Creator who has formed us with His divine wisdom and has granted us the gift of life to protect it. It is a gift that no one has the right to take away, threaten or manipulate to suit oneself. Indeed, everyone must safeguard this gift of life from its beginning up to its natural end. We therefore condemn all those practices that are a threat to life such as genocide, acts of terrorism, forced displacement, human organ trafficking, abortion and euthanasia. We likewise condemn the policies that promote these practices.
Moreover, we resolutely declare that religions must never incite war, hateful attitudes, hostility and extremism, nor must they incite violence or the shedding of blood. These tragic realities are the consequence of a deviation from religious teachings. They result from a political manipulation of religions and from interpretations made by religious groups who, in the course of history, have taken advantage of the power of religious sentiment in the hearts of men and women in order to make them act in a way that has nothing to do with the truth of religion. This is done for the purpose of achieving objectives that are political, economic, worldly and short-sighted. We thus call upon all concerned to stop using religions to incite hatred, violence, extremism and blind fanaticism, and to refrain from using the name of God to justify acts of murder, exile, terrorism and oppression. We ask this on the basis of our common belief in God who did not create men and women to be killed or to fight one another, nor to be tortured or humiliated in their lives and circumstances. God, the Almighty, has no need to be defended by anyone and does not want His name to be used to terrorize people.
This Document, in accordance with previous International Documents that have emphasized the importance of the role of religions in the construction of world peace, upholds the following:
– The firm conviction that authentic teachings of religions invite us to remain rooted in the values of peace; to defend the values of mutual understanding, human fraternity and harmonious coexistence; to re-establish wisdom, justice and love; and to reawaken religious awareness among young people so that future generations may be protected from the realm of materialistic thinking and from dangerous policies of unbridled greed and indifference that are based on the law of force and not on the force of law;
– Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action. The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings. This divine wisdom is the source from which the right to freedom of belief and the freedom to be different derives. Therefore, the fact that people are forced to adhere to a certain religion or culture must be rejected, as too the imposition of a cultural way of life that others do not accept;
– Justice based on mercy is the path to follow in order to achieve a dignified life to which every human being has a right;
– Dialogue, understanding and the widespread promotion of a culture of tolerance, acceptance of others and of living together peacefully would contribute significantly to reducing many economic, social, political and environmental problems that weigh so heavily on a large part of humanity;
– Dialogue among believers means coming together in the vast space of spiritual, human and shared social values and, from here, transmitting the highest moral virtues that religions aim for. It also means avoiding unproductive discussions;
– The protection of places of worship – synagogues, churches and mosques – is a duty guaranteed by religions, human values, laws and international agreements. Every attempt to attack places of worship or threaten them by violent assaults, bombings or destruction, is a deviation from the teachings of religions as well as a clear violation of international law;
– Terrorism is deplorable and threatens the security of people, be they in the East or the West, the North or the South, and disseminates panic, terror and pessimism, but this is not due to religion, even when terrorists instrumentalize it. It is due, rather, to an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts and to policies linked to hunger, poverty, injustice, oppression and pride. This is why it is so necessary to stop supporting terrorist movements fuelled by financing, the provision of weapons and strategy, and by attempts to justify these movements even using the media. All these must be regarded as international crimes that threaten security and world peace. Such terrorism must be condemned in all its forms and expressions;
– The concept of citizenship is based on the equality of rights and duties, under which all enjoy justice. It is therefore crucial to establish in our societies the concept of full citizenship and reject the discriminatory use of the term minorities which engenders feelings of isolation and inferiority. Its misuse paves the way for hostility and discord; it undoes any successes and takes away the religious and civil rights of some citizens who are thus discriminated against;
– Good relations between East and West are indisputably necessary for both. They must not be neglected, so that each can be enriched by the other's culture through fruitful exchange and dialogue. The West can discover in the East remedies for those spiritual and religious maladies that are caused by a prevailing materialism. And the East can find in the West many elements that can help free it from weakness, division, conflict and scientific, technical and cultural decline. It is important to pay attention to religious, cultural and historical differences that are a vital component in shaping the character, culture and civilization of the East. It is likewise important to reinforce the bond of fundamental human rights in order to help ensure a dignified life for all the men and women of East and West, avoiding the politics of double standards;
– It is an essential requirement to recognize the right of women to education and employment, and to recognize their freedom to exercise their own political rights. Moreover, efforts must be made to free women from historical and social conditioning that runs contrary to the principles of their faith and dignity. It is also necessary to protect women from sexual exploitation and from being treated as merchandise or objects of pleasure or financial gain. Accordingly, an end must be brought to all those inhuman and vulgar practices that denigrate the dignity of women. Efforts must be made to modify those laws that prevent women from fully enjoying their rights;
– The protection of the fundamental rights of children to grow up in a family environment, to receive nutrition, education and support, are duties of the family and society. Such duties must be guaranteed and protected so that they are not overlooked or denied to any child in any part of the world. All those practices that violate the dignity and rights of children must be denounced. It is equally important to be vigilant against the dangers that they are exposed to, particularly in the digital world, and to consider as a crime the trafficking of their innocence and all violations of their youth;
– The protection of the rights of the elderly, the weak, the disabled, and the oppressed is a religious and social obligation that must be guaranteed and defended through strict legislation and the implementation of the relevant international agreements.
To this end, by mutual cooperation, the Catholic Church and Al-Azhar announce and pledge to convey this Document to authorities, influential leaders, persons of religion all over the world, appropriate regional and international organizations, organizations within civil society, religious institutions and leading thinkers. They further pledge to make known the principles contained in this Declaration at all regional and international levels, while requesting that these principles be translated into policies, decisions, legislative texts, courses of study and materials to be circulated.
Al-Azhar and the Catholic Church ask that this Document become the object of research and reflection in all schools, universities and institutes of formation, thus helping to educate new generations to bring goodness and peace to others, and to be defenders everywhere of the rights of the oppressed and of the least of our brothers and sisters.
In conclusion, our aspiration is that:
this Declaration may constitute an invitation to reconciliation and fraternity among all believers, indeed among believers and non-believers, and among all people of good will;
this Declaration may be an appeal to every upright conscience that rejects deplorable violence and blind extremism; an appeal to those who cherish the values of tolerance and fraternity that are promoted and encouraged by religions;
this Declaration may be a witness to the greatness of faith in God that unites divided hearts and elevates the human soul;
this Declaration may be a sign of the closeness between East and West, between North and South, and between all who believe that God has created us to understand one another, cooperate with one another and live as brothers and sisters who love one another.
This is what we hope and seek to achieve with the aim of finding a universal peace that all can enjoy in this life.

He is one of the world's leading experts on the Titanic and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of every nut and bolt secured in place in Belfast, and every moment of its terrifying submersion in the freezing waters of the Atlantic. Tim has recently chatted to me for our latest History Hit TV documentary, and his way of speaking was just so gripping that I had to invited him back to record a podcast. In this episode, Tim took me through every stage of this momentous event, from why this 'unsinkable' ship did indeed sink, to haunting eye witness accounts of the final minutes of that fatal maiden voyage.

Muse Have a New Concert Film That Is 'Our Version of The Wall'
Suhaimi Abdullah, Getty Images
While concerts may be difficult to pull off right now, some acts had already filmed some shows they were planning to release, and that includes Muse. During a chat with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, frontman Matt Bellamy revealed that the group has a concert film en route this summer, but it's more than just a straight up show performance.
"The cool thing with Muse is this summer we've got this film coming out. We actually filmed it at O2 London shows in London in September last year, and so it's got elements of a live show but it's also got elements of all the kind of visuals of the last album, the sort of 80s aesthetic kind of fantasy stuff. So it's kind of like our version of [Pink Floyd's] The Wall or something," revealed Bellamy.
The singer went on to state, "I have to emphasize, my manager told me we have to emphasize, that the film was partly made before what's going on because obviously we didn't know it, but it has this whole thing about a virus and blah blah blah. Yeah, we didn't know that when we made the film. But it'll be interesting because it's pretty much in a fictional world. It's kind of a bit of fun."
According to Bellamy, the film is tentatively slated for a June or July release and he calls it "the best kind of film we've made," adding, "We were going to put it in theaters but we can't do that now so we're going to probably just get it on Apple or iTunes or whatever."
Meanwhile, Bellamy also reveals he's started writing again for Muse and hopes they'll be able to do a new song this year. In the interim though, Bellamy has dropped a solo single.
The track is called "Tomorrow's World" and can be heard in the player below. "I've never really sort of seriously thought about doing much work outside of Muse because I love Muse so much and we have such a great time together and make music together and all that," said Bellamy, but the self-isolation period allowed him to work solo. "For me, just writing a song on the piano and doing my film mixing, which I love, I love film music, as you know, and just trying to think of a kind of lyrical or a feeling that kind of captures what I'm feeling during this time, which is kind of reconnecting with the simplest things in life and trying to find a kind of optimism and hope for what the future could be."
He continued, "I wanted to try and create a song during this time that captured that and also a song that I can always look back on and go, 'I remember. This song will always remind me of that moment in my life.' Because for me songs always have, especially being a songwriter, they always have such strong connections to put at certain points in my life. So I really wanted to make sure I wrote a song during this time or made a song during this time that kind of will always make me remember this time."

Teenage girl has clothes ripped off by gang of laughing men in daylight sex assault
Zoe DrewettTuesday 1 May 2018 7:41 am
Six young men – some of them just teenagers – have been arrested by police after a girl was filmed being sexually assaulted in a shocking daylight attack.
A witness filmed the horrendous attack that saw a gang of men laughing and jeering as the ripped off the girl's clothes.
Frank Lampard pictured for first time after driving while using phone charge dropped
Video of the assault, filmed in Jehanabad in Bihar state, India, was widely shared online, where police picked it up and began investigation.
Two of the attackers in the clip are still missing and being tracked down by police, senior officers said.
Nayyar Hasnain Khan has formed a special team of police to investigate the video, which has outraged thousands since it surfaced online.

No witnesses, including the person holding the filming the attack on a mobile phone, is seen doing anything to intervene.
Most of the attackers are teenagers, the police say.
A motorcycle belonging to one of them, which was also seen in the video, was a vital clue for the police.
The mobile phone with which the video was filmed has also been recovered by the police, they said.
According to the NDTV news channel, based in New Delhi, police are now carrying out door to door searches in the neighbourhood and talking to villagers to identify the rest of the attackers.

The girl and her family have also been offered counselling, officers said.
A First Investigation Report has been registered against the accused under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The incident comes in the middle of outrage and disgust across India over a series of child rapes.
The death penalty was recently brought in for child rape cases in Kathua, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, after nationwide anger over the gang-rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl.
While a six-year-old girl in Odisha died in hospital this weekend after being raped, strangled and left to die by a neighbour.

Simmons, who is originally from Invercargill, rapidly discovered he'd bitten off more than he could chew when a photo of the tongue-in-cheek message went viral in the US, provoking a response as divided as the politics of the country itself.
Overnight, Kiwiana – a cozy 1950s style diner in Park Slope, Brooklyn – became the little restaurant that could.
More than 250,000 people liked a Twitter photo of the Kiwiana receipt, 20 international media networks descended on the doorstep, Simmons was thanked by customers "for doing God's work" and business jumped 50 per cent. Simmons, with his crop of curly hair, chef's apron and laid-back New Zealand attitude, was lauded as both an American hero and hell-raiser.
He also received death threats from a man in South Dakota, who supported Trump's travel ban targeting people from predominantly Muslim countries.
Simmons left New Zealand at 17 and worked his way up from dishwasher to cook to chef in kitchens around the world. He arrived into New York in 2005 and fell in love with an American girl from across the dance floor of a dive bar not far from where they now live. He competed in the US reality television show Top Chef in 2008, got married and opened Kiwiana in 2011.
Of the 24,000 restaurants in New York, only three are advertised as New Zealand-themed eateries. The others are The Musket Room, a double Michelin-star rated restaurant based in Manhattan, and DUB (Down Under Bakery) which offers mince pies in Brooklyn.
Now that the immigration-receipt pandemonium has "thankfully" passed, Simmons is back behind the bar in Brooklyn. He not only owns the restaurant and cooks the food, but also serves his customers and knows many by name.

How do I stop my enemy character from spinning around in circles when I run past him?
I have an enemy NavMashAgent who wanders around the map with the objective being to kill the player. He will only go after the player if he spots the player within a certain range and angle. After the player has been spotted, he will start pursing the player until the player is out of range. Once the player is out of range, the enemy will idle for awhile and resume wandering around the map. This is the entirety of my BasicAI script. The problem that I have is if the player decides simply to run past the enemy, the enemy will start to spin in circles and get stuck in its current attacking animation.
I not sure if it has something to do with me having to freeze the X and Z rotation on the enemy's rigid body to prevent it from floating in the air but that would be my guess. In addition, I also created a new Physics Material and set its dynamic friction and static friction to 1 to prevent the enemy from sliding. Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is how Rigidbody and NavMeshAgent look like in the inspector.

Margaret Clemons is the President and founder of THE MC GROUP, LTD. As a licensed private investigator and specialist in problem solving strategies, she has served a global clientele including prestigious corporations, law firms, prominent businessmen and women, and high net worth individuals.
A native New Yorker, Ms. Clemons lived in South America for many years and is both bi-lingual (Spanish) and bi-cultural. Her strong personal belief that no one need ever be placed as victim has shaped her business practice of steadfast client advocacy. She does not accept victimization as an outcome. Her practice is largely devoted to conflict resolution and recommendations to prevent future crises.
Consistent with her advocacy in her professional life, is her passion for a world free from the cycle of violence against women and children. To this end she founded THE MARGARET CLEMONS FOUNDATION, LTD (MCF) as the vehicle for the creation of model programs to change the behavior of perpetrator, victim and the community, and to address inequities and power imbalances that set the stage for that violence.
Margaret resides in Manhattan with her husband, an attorney, and their son.
"I have never felt more alive and thrilled over the prospects of helping to change a horrible reality for so many millions of women worldwide. My passion and commitment to put an end to that violence will carry me to the end of my life.

As an educator I know that learning through the arts opens up possibilities that can transform the lives of both children and adults. For lasting change to occur, change that creates more equitable, just and humane communities and a more peaceable society, children must be offered many examples of how to act peaceably. They need models who show them how to respect others in meaningful ways, artful ways. The mission of MCF is to provide these models and change lives for the better, to create more peaceable communities. The MCF proposes to enact the beliefs to which I have dedicated my professional career.

Between 25-79% of stroke survivors suffer depression, which can limit recovery, decrease quality of life, and increase mortality. In adults with aphasia, the cause(s) of depression, and thus the means by which it can be addressed, have been unclear. Our participants with aphasia did not differ from our normal controls in presence or severity of depression. However, possible causes of depression differed between groups. In both groups, loneliness was a significant factor. In adults with aphasia, other significant factors were time poststroke, severity of language impairment, and desired control over every day events. Suggestions for research and treatment are offered.

Q: How to record 5 second snippets of audo using Twilio API I am trying to continuously record 5 second snippets of audio from a phone call initiated using the Twilio API. I know that I can use TwiML and the <Record> verb, but the problem I am having is that sometimes my TwiML is in the middle of using the <Say> verb so I cannot update it with a new <Record> verb without interrupting <Say>.
I know that I can use the TwiML <Record> verb and once the max length of 5 seconds expires I can use the callback function to update the TwiML with a new <Record> and continue in this fashion. But I cannot interrupt the TwiML when I am using a <Say> in it and I need to be able to refresh <Record>.
Is there some way that I can setup a conference call such that I have one TwiML doing the <Record> and another sending the programmable voice with <Say>?

Zygmunt Chychła (Gdańsk, 6 november 1926 - Hamburg, 26 september 2009) was een Pools bokser. Hij nam tweemaal deel aan de Olympische Spelen en won hierbij in totaal één gouden medaille.

Biografie
Chychła begon zijn carrière in 1939, nadat hij tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bij het leger was gegaan. In 1947 kwam hij in de club van Feliks Stamm, de trainer van de Poolse Olympische ploeg (van 1936 tot 1968). Hij nam in 1948 deel aan de Olympische Spelen in Londen en bereikte de kwartfinales. In 1951 werd hij Europees kampioen in Milaan en werd hij verkozen tot "Pools sportman van het jaar". Bij de volgende Olympische Spelen in Helsinki veroverde hij een gouden medaille door zijn overwinning op de vertegenwoordiger van de Sovjet-Unie, Sergey Szczerbakow. Hij werd daarop opnieuw verkozen tot sportman van het jaar.

Na zijn terugkeer van de Olympische Spelen, leed hij aan tuberculose. Hij wilde eigenlijk stoppen met boksen, maar de Poolse autoriteiten, die in zijn categorie niemand hadden voor de Europese kampioenschappen in Warschau in 1953, misleidden hem door te zeggen dat hij genezen was. Zygmunt Chychła won een gouden medaille bij de kampioenschappen. Wegens het onderbreken van de behandeling, had de tuberculose ondertussen longbeschadigingen ontwikkeld. Hij beëindigde zijn sportieve carrière in 1953 en ging in het begin van de jaren 1970 in Duitsland wonen

In zijn actieve tijd was hij aangesloten bij Gedania Gdańsk / Kolejarza Gdańsk.

We decided on the name of this song quite late - after we'd recorded it, in fact, and were having a well-deserved pint at a local pub within walking distance of the studio. Up until that point we'd been calling it "Castles", since when I brought it into the practice room I'd thought it could be titled "Castles in the Sky" - a notion that was swiftly shot down when the rest of the band pointed out that there was a famous 90s trance song with that title, and began to sing it at me (enthusiastically). Before we decided to make this the title track for the album, though, we knew what the song was going to be about- we wanted to write something that would make our opinions on the more politically-motivated bands that fall within our chosen subgenre quite clear. The result is a song which deals with the idea that home is where you lay your roots and not where you're born, and makes it clear that no one should be punished for their differences- "punish not for creed or culture". The chorus ("don't breed anguish with politics") is one of my favourite parts of any Northern Oak song (or any other song, full stop!)
You think because you name them,
You master these wilds
But language and labels
Hold no sway.
They've no heritage.
Don't breed anguish with politics.
Lands are not possessions or chains.
All beings must feel their freedom
Under the boundless grace of sky.
You never begrudged
The myriad frames
Of Nature.
So why does the slightest
In your fellow man
Gall you so.
Punish not for creed or culture,
This earth need not bleed out sorrow.
Our forms were born from stars
So drop your hatred
See how bright life blazes.

ECHA protects SME privileges
ECHA/PR/12/30
Media enquiries: ECHA Press
ECHA has started revoking decisions assigning registration numbers to registrations that later emerged to be incomplete. These decisions have been replaced with rejections. This concerns registrants, who have incorrectly claimed to be entitled to a fee reduction for micro, small or medium-sized enterprises and did not pay the appropriate registration fee despite repeated reminders. The companies concerned have been informed.
Helsinki, 16 November 2012 – ECHA has revoked a number of previous decisions, in which it confirmed the completeness of registrations and assigned registration numbers, and replaced the revoked decision with rejections of the registrations. For the registrations in question, it only emerged after the assignment of the registration number that the registrant had not paid the full registration fee, thereby failing the completeness check under REACH. ECHA rejects these registrations, like it rejects all registrations, for which the full fee has not been paid. Thereby, ECHA ensures equal and fair treatment of registrants.
When submitting a registration dossier, the registrant self declares its size. If it falls under one of the categories of micro, small or medium sized enterprises (SMEs), it benefits from reduced registration fees. The reduced registration fee is automatically invoiced, thus ensuring a swift registration process. ECHA subsequently undertakes a verification of the self declared size to verify whether these registrants were entitled to the fee reduction they had claimed.
Where the registrant cannot demonstrate its entitlement to the fee reduction it had claimed, ECHA requires payment of the balance of the fees applicable to the correct size.
Where the registrant does not pay it by the due date, the registration decision, which had confirmed the completeness of the registration on the basis of the self declaration of the registrant, is revoked and replaced by a rejection of the registration. ECHA thereby protects the privileges granted to SMEs and ensures equal treatment of all registrants of a similar size.
The companies in question have been informed that their registration number is no longer valid and that they can no longer rely on the registration to manufacture or import the substance concerned in quantities above one tonne per annum. They can submit a new registration at any time or appeal against ECHA's decision to the Board of Appeal within three months of being notified of the rejection.
The enforcement authorities have also been informed.

Former Florida Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp, who is now a lobbyist for the oil industry, has said that "tar balls are naturally occurring."
"It didn't even reach Florida's shores," said former Florida Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
A former Florida lieutenant governor and current oil industry lobbyist who recently indicated the Deepwater Horizon oil spill wasn't a very big deal has walked back his comments ― a bit.
The Gainesville Sun accused Kottkamp of cooking up "alternative facts" and counting on people not to believe their own eyes and experiences. Then-Gov. Charlie Crist, who was Kottkamp's boss at the time of the spill, was widely photographed at oil-blackened state beaches.
The Deepwater Horizon spill was the largest accidental ocean spill in history.
The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 men, spewed 4.9 million barrels of crude oil into the water and fouled 1,300 miles of coastline. It exposed Gulf Coast residents to toxins and continues to damage the environment in the area, including killing marine animals.
Kottkamp has walked back his comments downplaying the spill but continued to insist the damage wasn't as bad as it was made out to be.
"I guess I overstated it," Kottkamp told The Tampa Bay Times of his earlier comments about Florida not being affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Kottkamp is now heading a group seeking to open the eastern Gulf of Mexico to oil drilling. The national industry-backed group, Explore Offshore, is pushing to allow oil companies to investigate new places to drill in federal waters that are now off limits.
David Mica, executive director of the Florida Petroleum Council, which backs Explore Offshore, agreed with Kottkamp that the public's perception of the disaster was due to a "lot of bad publicity. … Perception was a bigger problem than the actual oil on the beaches," he told the Tampa Bay Times.
But Earthjustice staff attorney Bradley Marshall said it's "absurd to claim the Deepwater Horizon spill did not reach Florida," given the damage the state experienced.
"That's why so many of Florida's leaders, regardless of what political party they belong to, have been so protective of our coasts all these years," he said in a statement.
The Trump administration is working to dismantle drilling protections that were instituted to prevent another incident like the Deepwater Horizon spill. In January, the administration announced plans to open previously protected parts of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean to oil and gas drilling. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke tweeted soon after that he had granted GOP Florida Gov. Rick Scott's request for an exemption.

Dealership profits keep soaring
Amy Wilson
The auto retail business is red hot and getting hotter as dealership profits continue to rise. It's no wonder everyone wants in.
In 2013, the average U.S. dealership produced return on equity of 29 percent, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association. That figure has risen in four of the past five years and is now more than double the 12 percent return recorded in 2008 when U.S. vehicle sales collapsed.
"Those who have dealerships want more, and those who don't have a store become increasingly interested in that dealership opportunity," said Alan Haig, president of Haig Partners, a dealership buy/sell advisory firm in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Dealerships also are enjoying record profits, according to the newly released NADA statistics. The average store made $923,248 in net pretax profit in 2013, the highest noninflation-adjusted amount since NADA started tracking the data in 1970. That's the third straight record year. The net pretax margin was 2.2 percent in 2013 and 2012. That's barely down from 2.3 percent in 2011, which was the highest that NADA had seen since at least 1978.
"You have a much smaller number of dealers, post-global financial crisis," said Steven Szakaly, NADA's chief economist. "Now these dealers are selling more vehicles per dealership, which is helping your return on equity."
The robust profit and return picture makes for many happy dealers -- and a lot of interest from those who want to get in on the action.
After all, asks Haig, where else can investors make such high returns? Dealership buyers base their decisions on return on investment instead of return on equity. The former is a different calculation that includes the cost of buying the business. It is currently in the low 20 percent range for someone who borrows about half the money needed to purchase a dealership, Haig said.
The rising interest from buyers means more competition for the stores that do come on the market. And some potential sellers are hanging on to dealerships longer than they might otherwise have because of the shortage of better places to invest their proceeds.
Alternatives for people with money on the sidelines include the stock market, with a long-term average annual return of 6 or 7 percent, the bond market, with an average return of around 3 percent, or real estate, which can produce returns in the 5 to 8 percent range, Haig said.
Haig predicts high profits and returns for dealerships are here for the foreseeable future as vehicle sales continue to rise.
It's a picture that has commercial banks and automakers' captive finance arms clamoring to lend money for potential dealership acquisitions.
Banks are avidly seeking additional business from existing dealer clients and trying to win away business from competitors, Haig said. Lenders were comforted by the payment records of both car buyers and dealer borrowers during the recession.
"The automotive category for lenders was the best-performing asset class they had in any industry," Haig said. "Those commercial lenders are very interested in putting more money to work in automotive."

Great Britain's men were left to reflect on their Olympic volleyball campaign as Argentina whitewashed them with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-15) win in their final group game.
There are still positives to take from their campaign. Star man Dami Bakare eventually arrived at the party after a slow, nerve-riddled start - he was as brilliant here as he was against Poland on Saturday - while the likes of libero Dan Hunter and Nathan French also end in credit.
Beating Argentina had never been coach Harry Brokking's aim before the tournament - Australia and Bulgaria were the sides he had targeted - and so it panned out, with the South Americans overhauling Australia for the final qualifying place in Pool A in the process.
GB went 4-0 down - Mark Plotyczer committing two errors - when Brokking hauled them off. Argentina then got out to 9-3 and 12-5 before Britain started a fightback, with Bakare twice finding the ground and Chris Lamont also shutting down the dangerous Pablo Crer at the net.
And although Argentina always had it in their arsenal to pull back away from their hosts - Facundo Conte taking it to them - Britain remained competitive, with Bakare inspired off the floor. Luck was not on their side either, with Plotyczer's block on Crer inching out, but Argentina did not need fortune and, despite towering spikes from Jason Haldane and Mark McGivern, took the set 25-18.
Brokking's men started the second set better than they had the opener, leading 2-1 when a Crer serve went long, but they were quickly 7-3 down when Conte's serve knocked Andrew Pink off his feet and Hunter made a reception error.
But Bakare got his arm moving again to spike twice back to 6-9, although Argentina always retained the ability to rack up points on the reel and, thanks to their brilliant libero Alexis Gonzalez, they were soon 13-6 ahead.
But a Chris Lamont block started a run of five straight British points which included brilliant retrievals from McGivern and Joel Miller and when Pink rose to tip a winner, it was 12-14. Bakare got wild, though, and spiked wide and another long run of Argentinean points followed.
Even then McGivern and Pink refused to give in and touched the floor with more power-hitting, although their efforts were ultimately in vein as Rodrigo Quiroga spiked to 25-18. Having not won a set all Games it was almost improbable that GB would recover three of them and they started the third as though they knew, sloping to a 7-11 deficit despite a Kieran O'Malley spike.
The majority of their points were coming from poor Argentinean passing, though, and when a Sebastian Sole serve was allowed to land a yard inside the line, it summed up the last nine days for Brokking and his squad. Bakare offered some resistance up high but whether it was he, McGivern, Pink or Jason Haldane who leapt above the net, they found Crer, Sole and Ivan Castellani waiting for them as Argentina saw it out 15-25.

Second harmonic super-resolution microscopy for quantification of mRNA at single copy sensitivity
Jing Liu, Il Hoon Cho, Yi Cui, Joseph Irudayaraj
Cell-specific information on the quantity and localization of key mRNAs at single copy sensitivity in single cells is critical for evaluating basic cellular process, disease risk, and efficacy of therapy. Quantification of overexpressed mRNAs beyond the diffraction limit is constrained by the optical property of the probes and microscopy techniques. In this report, nanosized barium titanium oxide (BaTiO3, BTO) crystals were utilized as probes for mRNA quantification by a second harmonic super-resolution microscopy (SHaSM). The SHaSM was able to detect a single copy of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) mRNA at a resolution of 55.6 nm with the ability to resolve multiple mRNA copies in a diffraction-limited spot. Her2 mRNA per cell was counted in SK-BR-3, MCF-7, and HeLa cell lines as 595 ± 79.1, 38.9 ± 8.26, and 1.5 ± 2.8, respectively. Our single-cell quantification results were validated with the fluorescence in situ hybridization studies and quantitative PCR, showing better specificity and selectivity over current single-molecule approaches for transcript detection. The SHaSM is expected to have an upper limit of resolving ∼104 transcripts in a single cell with the ability to monitor intracellular transcriptional dynamics at video rate. The developed approach has strong potential in clinical research and in the early diagnosis of life-threatening diseases such as cancer.

Opinion: Big question is will John Kiely stay on as hurling manager? - Martin Kiely
Martin Kiely
sport@limerickleader.ie
Will John Kiely stay on?
All-Ireland hurling Sunday is one of the most special days of the year and try as I did to focus on what Tipperary and Kilkenny had to offer, my mind was flashing back to what was last year for Limerick and what could have been this year. We can paint the picture anyway we like but this year will be remembered as one that got away from Limerick.
The journey back to Jones' Road has proved difficult for many teams that have tasted success and we can only hope that our current bunch of players will once again savour that great experience that we enjoyed last year.
A week or so after the All-Ireland last year I can remember writing about how teams had already a focus for Limerick and that will be the same for Tipperary.
New managers, new players in different counties bring new energy and I am expecting that will be the case for Waterford and Cork next year.
Limerick will want to settle a few scores also but we are already seeing signs of change in the management set up. Joe O'Connor slipped away last week but this was known for the past couple of weeks. Will others follow?
Winning brings many challenges for players and management and some find it very hard to return to the promised land.
Limerick have a base well capable of further glory but it will take the singular attitude they had in 2018 to achieve again.
John Kiely has ended his three year term and the first instalment from the County Board was that John Cregan, Michael O'Riordan and Liam Burke would take charge of the review.
It was a rush of blood on their behalf and it did not go down well across the county. The big question was why Joe McKenna, Bernard Duggan and Brendan O'Connor, who were part of the committee that put Kiely and his management team in place, had been dispensed with?
Since the first instalment where we learned that the three main officers would sit down with John Kiely much has changed. It was not well received on the ground that McKenna, Duggan and O'Connor would not be involved.
It didn't take long for the top three to realise that they had got it wrong. John Kiely deserved more than that and indeed Limerick GAA clubs and supporters deserved much better.
Last Monday night I believe a full meeting of the officer board was held and it was agreed that McKenna, Duggan and O'Connor would now join chairman John Cregan and secretary Michael O'Riordan.
The other members of the County Board are elected and they should have been made aware but instead they were sidelined and given no opportunity to voice their opinions.
It was also an unfair to Joe McKenna, Bernard Duggan and Brendan O'Connor who like the board officers only found out about it in the Limerick Leader.
Joe McKenna played a vital role in getting key people on board, he was the conduit that made things happen and how anyone felt it was okay to review the management team without him is quite unbelievable. Without Joe McKenna the key people in the management team would not have been involved.
Before the Munster hurling championship started a meeting of the officers on the Limerick County Board was held at a hotel outside of the city.
That meeting was called by the chairman after many officers on the board had let it be known to him that they weren't happy.
It was taken seriously and an outside person was brought in to speak to the officers. It was based around Structures, Planning and Respect. There was quite a long time spent on the latter. Many officers felt they were not respected in the board.
John Kiely
Last week Joe O'Connor let the players know by text that he was moving on and we could see further change within the group.
The big question facing Limerick is will John Kiely stay on? He gave us the impression leaving Croke Park that he would but time and space can sometimes bring reality.
He has given a huge effort to Limerick over a long number of years now and also has a very responsible job.
If John Kiely was to pull the pin who would Limerick turn to? Now, all supporters will hope that wont happen but right now I would struggle to come up with a name in Limerick with the quality to manage this team.
Limerick have a strong team, a team that can enjoy success again. I think most people will feel that we left back to back titles behind us this year.
That will be painful for all concerned but lessons will need to be learned from it also.
I will address this again in the coming weeks. Success is really hard to achieve, Limerick had a really good year with league and championship success in Munster but it could have been more.
The management and the players will know that. Will the pain of such a loss drive them forward again?
The championship might well have finished last Sunday in Croke Park but rest assured many will start very soon getting their ducks in a row for next year.
Limerick's year as All-Ireland champions seemed to go so fast. You wait forty five years and you win it but in a flash your time as champions is gone.
It must have hurt all involved in the Limerick set up to look on last Sunday as Tipperary brushed Kilkenny aside.
For Tipperary that is three times in ten years. That is a very good return by any means. For Liam Sheedy it was the perfect return and the business done in just one year.
He got the very best from the group but the quality of his forwards was the major difference. They can shoot on sight, they can hurl the length of themselves while others have to go ten metres with the ball.
They will enjoy this win and the year could get even better if they collect the U20 title next Sunday against Cork.
Hurling never stands still and while systems and the like come and go it's really important that team managements have the ability to change mid game and allow players play with freedom.

Abstract. Land surface temperature (LST) is important factor in global climate change studies, for estimating radiation into heat balance studies and as a control for climate change models. The knowledge of surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themes in earth sciences, climate change and human interactions with environment. In this investigation an attempt has been made to estimate surface temperature from ASTER and Landsat Thermal Band data for the Gangotri Glacier. ASTER and Landsat Calibration had been performed to convert digital numbers to exoatmospheric radiance using published post-launch gains and offsets. The exoatmospheric radiance is then converted to surface radiance by applying the Emissivity Normalization method, assuming the emissivity of the Investigation area is constant (0.97, the emissivity of glacier ice). The surface temperature is then extracted from the surface radiance. Based on images from Oct 1990, 2001 and 2010 mean temperatures of 15.763, 15.893 and 17.154 respectively, are inferred. The extracted temperature data were compared to observed temperatures and showed a good correlation, with differences of 1–2oc.The variability of these retrieved Land surface Temperatures has been investigated with respect snout point, ELA and highest point of Gangotri Glacier determined from the Landsat visible bands and ASTER DEM. The emissivity per pixel is retrieved directly from satellite data and has been estimated as narrow band emissivity at the satellite sensor channel in order to minimize the errors in the land surface temperature estimation of study area.

Withings Steel HR Review: What To Make Of The Company's First True Smartwatch
Rebecca Paredes December 22nd, 2016
Note: This page has been updated after WearableZone's extensive look at the Withings Steel HR. Read our in-depth review of the device here.
When Withings released the cartoonish Withings Go earlier this year, we were confused. It was marketed as a rival for other basic, budget fitness trackers like the Jawbone Up 2 and Fitbit Flex, but it wasn't anywhere near as impressive as the more fashionable Withings offerings.
"Is this it?" we wondered. "Where do we go from here?"
Fortunately, Withings revealed the Steel HR at IFA in September, and then officially released the device a month later.
With its rare combination of heart rate tracking, long battery life, and competitive price, the Withings Steel HR turned the heads of fitness aficionados and style gurus alike. Here's what you should pay attention to most in the full review.
Withings Steel HR Review: Battery Life
Its sleek and functional. @Withings' new #SteelHR at @IFA_Berlin this year. https://t.co/hFwbV0cMaO #IFA2016 pic.twitter.com/q06SEwfKMt
— Gulf News - #GNTECH (@GNTECHAE) September 5, 2016
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: that battery life. The Withings Steel HR has an insane 25-day battery life, which sets a new standard among smartwatches. It accomplishes this by placing a greater emphasis on the one thing a smartwatch should do well — tell time.
Withings Steel HR Review: Design
Like the Withings Activite line, the Steel HR looks like an accessible form of luxury. It's designed to place smart notifications and activity data in a small digital screen at the top of the watch, which you can navigate via a button on the side of the case.
A dial at the bottom of the screen displays your daily activity progress on a 0-100% scale. The Steel HR is available in two versions: the 36mm with a black or white watch face, and the 40mm with a black watchface. Both versions come with a black silicone strap, but there are also leather straps available for either size.
Withings Steel HR Review: Features
A waterproof device with smart notifications, heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and a lengthy battery life sounds like a smartwatch lover's dream — but some of the features didn't live up to their image. Read the full review for more details on the Steel HR's overall performance.
Heart rate tracking: Monitor your resting and active heart rate, as well as heart rate zones.
Automatic run tracking: Steel HR will automatically start tracking when you run.
Sleep tracking: Snooze intelligently with automatic sleep tracking.
Waterproof: The Steel HR is waterproof up to 50 meters.
Activity tracking: Track your steps, distance, and calories with the Steel HR and the Withings app.
Smart Notifications: View call, text, and email alerts directly from your wrist with the Steel HR's digital screen.

The Withings Steel HR costs $179.95 for the 36mm model and $199.95 for the 40mm model. In comparison to similar smartwatches, that price is competitive — particularly because of the smartwatch's sleek design.
For example, the Fitbit Blaze costs $199.95, and the Garmin Vivoactive HR costs $249.99.
With a heart rate monitor, smart notifications, and 25-day battery life, the Withings Steel HR appeals to the masses.

Токай () — город в Венгрии. Находится в медье Боршод-Абауй-Земплен (Северная Венгрия) на берегу р. Тиса. Расстояние до Мишкольца, административного центра медье, составляет 54 км. Численность населения на 1 января 2014 года —  человек.

Город Токай — центр винодельческого региона Токай-Хедьялья, в котором производится одноимённое вино. Регион включён в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

География
Он расположен в 54 км к востоку от Мишкольца, в знаменитом винодельческом регионе Токай, у слияния двух рек Тиса и Бодрог, у подножия Лысой горы, напротив Ракамаза в Тисе. В развитии города сыграла не только его роль в производстве вина и продаже вина, но и его местоположение в качестве транспортного узла. Токай был самыми важными воротами для движения колесниц между Восточным нагорьем и Великой восточной равниной.

История
Винодельческий район впервые упоминается под названием Токай в 1067 году. Сам город впервые упоминается в документах в 1353 году. Его первым замком был мотт и бейли, который был разрушен во время вторжения монголов в Венгрию. К XIV веку в городе уже был каменный замок, принадлежащий усадьбе Диосгёр.

После 1450 года Токай был собственностью семьи Хуньяди, поэтому после того, как Матиас Хуньяди стал царем, город стал королевским имением. В 1705 году Франциск II Ракоци приказал разрушить замок.

После Австро-Венгерского компромисса 1867 года город процветал, но когда начались мировые войны, он серьёзно пострадал, потерял свое значение и статус города. Даже его роль в торговле вином перешла к Шаторайуйхели.

Токай снова получил статус города в 1986 году, и он снова начал процветать. Сейчас город является популярной туристической достопримечательностью.

Токайские вина

Винные погреба в Токае построены 500—700 лет назад и обладают идеальным уровнем влажности воздуха и постоянной температурой в 10-12 °C. Сам провинциальный городок Токай в народе называют «многоэтажным», но его «этажи» уходят не вверх, а под землю, вниз. Длина токайских подвалов составляет 40 км. Стены погребов покрыты плесневым грибком Cladosporium cellare, мягкой тёмно-серой плесенью, в которой, если потрогать, утопают руки. Грибок питается алкоголем, испаряющимся из винных бочек. Эта подвальная плесень создаёт в погребах специальный микроклимат, придающий токайским винам их уникальный аромат.
