Drohobuż, Dorohobuż (ukr. Дорогобуж, Dorohobuż) – wieś na Ukrainie w rejonie hoszczańskim obwodu rówieńskiego, w silskiej radzie Horbaków. Niegdyś staroruski gród, ośrodek księstwa udzielnego i prywatne miasteczko Ostrogskich.

Geografia
Miejscowość położona na Wołyniu, na południe od rzeki Horyń, ok. 8 km na zachód od Hoszczy i ok. 24 km na wschód od Równego. Sąsiednie miejscowości to Raśniki, Drozdów, Podolany, Mniszyn, Horbaków, Ilin i Babin. Na południe od wsi przebiega droga magistralna znaczenia międzynarodowego M06.

Historia
Pierwsza pisemna wzmianka o Dorohobużu pochodzi z 1084 r. w związku z jego nadaniem przez wielkiego księcia kijowskiego Wsiewołoda I w udziale księciu Dawidowi Igorewiczowi.

Po śmierci Dawida Igorewicza (1112) dzielnicę dorohobuską otrzymał książę włodzimiersko-wołyński Jarosław Światopełkowicz, syn Światopełka II Michała. Później został mu odebrany i wrócił do książąt kijowskich, którzy przekazywali go swoim krewnym, sojusznikom i wasalom. Potem Dorohobużem władali wielcy książęta kijowscy: Włodzimierz III Mścisławowicz (1150-1154, 1170-1171) oraz Izjasław II Pantelejmon, za którego panowania Dorohobuż miał własnych książąt, zależnych od Kijowa. Pod koniec XII wieku księstwo dorohobuskie weszło w skład księstwa peresopnickiego, a następstwie księstwa łuckiego. Jako ostatni książę dorohobuski wymieniany jest Izjasław Ingwarewicz, syn Ingwara Jarosławicza. Po śmierci Izjasława w bitwie nad Kałką (1223) księstwo dorohobuskie ostatecznie weszło w skład księstwa halicko-wołyńskiego.

W 2 połowie XIV wieku Dorohobuż znalazł się pod władzą litewską. W ramach Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego wszedł w posiadanie kniaziów Ostrogskich (od 1371). W 1514 r. wielki książę Zygmunt II Stary nadał go po bitwie pod Orszą z pozostałościami dawnego księstwa wielkiemu hetmanowi litewskiemu Konstantemu Ostrogskiemu wraz z przywilejem na założenie miasta na prawie magdeburskim. Ostrogskim można przypisać budowę zamku w Drohobużu, który wymieniono w dokumentach z 1577, 1603 i 1620 r.

W Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów leżał w granicach powiatu łuckiego województwa wołyńskiego (1569-1795). Po Ostrogskich Drohobuż wraz z całą ordynacją przeszedł na Zasławskich, a później na Sanguszków. W wyniku transakcji kolbuszowskiej (1753) dokonanej przez Janusza Sanguszkę dobra drohobuskie (miasteczko i 5 wsi) znalazły się w rękach innych rodów. Kolejnymi właścicielami byli m.in. Walewscy, Zawiszowie, Jodkowie. Od XIX w. Drohobuż (wówczas już wieś) miał właścicieli Rosjan: najpierw Fiedorowa, potem Rakowiczów, w których ręku pozostawał aż do agresji ZSRR na Polskę 17 września 1939 r.

Po III rozbiorze (1795) Drohobuż znalazł się w zaborze rosyjskim; po 1815 r. – na obszarze tzw. ziem zabranych: w powiecie ostrogskim guberni wołyńskiej.

W okresie międzywojennym Drohobuż należał do gminy Buhryń w powiecie rówieńskim województwa wołyńskiego.

Po II wojnie światowej wieś ostatecznie znalazła się w granicach ZSRR, a od 1991 r. w granicach niepodległej Ukrainy.

Zabytki
 Cerkiew Zaśnięcia Przenajświętszej Bogurodzicy – murowana cerkiew z 2 poł. XVII w., niegdyś bazylianów, obecnie prawosławna; ze tej świątyni pochodzi ikona Matki Boskiej Hodegetrii, jedna z najstarszych na Ukrainie (XIII w.), obecnie przechowywana w Krajoznawczym Muzeum Obwodowym w Równym.
 zamek – w miejscu dawnego zamku wybudowano dwór. Jeszcze w okresie międzywojennym stała tu okazała okrągła baszta ceglana z gotyckim oknem, rozebrana tuż po wojnie. Obecnie grodzisko.

KANSAS 3-FOOT LAW
KVBC registered a Board member as a lobbyist during the 2011 legislative session, and worked behind-the-scenes to promote a 3-Foot law for all Kansas cyclists. These efforts were successful when Governor Sam Brownback signed the bill into law. It took effect on July 1, 2011. Present at the ceremonial signing (pictured) were KVBC Board members and the Tim Roberts family, who also lobbied for the law after losing Tim in a cycle-vehicle accident.
A great debt is owed to all the Kansas cyclists who contacted their legislators and let their voices be heard. Special thanks goes to the Kansas legislators who actively supported the law: Sen. Vicki Schmidt (Topeka), Rep. Vern Swanson (Clay Center), and Sen. Dwayne Umbarger (Thayer).

SHARM EL SHAIKH, Mar 28 (INP): Egypt's president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, has backed calls to create a unified Arab force to confront regional security threats, and said intervention in Yemen was the "inevitable" result of meddling by a foreign power. Speaking at an Arab League summit, he said that the military campaign against Shia Houthi militias in Yemen, which has been led by Saudi Arabia, aimed to "preserve Yemen's unity and the peace of its territories". Sisi was backed by Saudi Arabia's King Salman, who vowed that the military intervention in Yemen would not stop until the country was stable and safe.
The Egyptian president said the Arab world was facing unprecedented threats and, without mentioning it by name, accused Shia, non-Arab Iran of meddling in Arab affairs. He also blamed Shia rebels for creating chaos in the country, calling them "stooges of Iran". Sisi, a former soldier, told the summit that the Arab world was facing unprecedented threats and said the attacks would continue until the Houthis surrender. The Saudi-led military intervention has been strongly backed by the US, and other global powers may be drawn in as the crisis unfolds The summit comes amid mounting instability and insurgencies in the region.
have joined the coalition as Riyadh leads the predominantly Sunni Muslim 22-member Arab League in a bid to curb Iran's growing regional influence. The annual Arab League summit was originally scheduled to discuss a joint Arab military force, but is instead focusing on the Yemen crisis. Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, has said negotiations were the only way to prevent a long-term conflict in Yemen. Also speaking at the summit, Ban said he was angry and shamed by the failure of the world to stop Syria's raging civil war and promised to step up diplomatic efforts. "Negotiations facilitated by my special envoy, Jamal Benomar, and endorsed by the Security Council remain the only chance to prevent long, drawn-out conflict," he said.

Math or mathematics is the theoretical science of amount, numbers, and space. Math could be studied in its own right as pure mathematics or as it is applied to other areas such as engineering and physics as applied mathematics. Math is used as a vital tool in several disciplines through the world including the social sciences, engineering, medicine, as well as natural science. Applied mathematics inspires and makes good use of new mathematical discoveries which has resulted in the creation of completely new mathematical subjects.
This is an essential condition of advanced math and assorted areas of sciences such as applied mathematics, algebra, number theory, physics, electrical and electronics engineering, etc.
It is a new department of math than many others. Euler, Gauss, Riemann, Cauchy, Weierstrass and many other prominent scholars have developed complex analysis by making use of their attempts and made it valuable and useful for other areas of sciences and math.
Complex analysis is an extensive area which has functions and its own theorems to solve the equation such as Holomorphic function, Entire function, meromorphic function, Post (complex analysis), Residue (complex analysis), singularity (Remote, removable and crucial), Principal branch, department point, Weierstrass-Casorati theorem, the constants of Landau, Analytic Disc algebra, ability, Hardy theorem, Corona theorem and advancing function, Nevanlinna theory, the theorem of Picard, Line integral, contour integrals, Just connected, Winding number, Kramers Kronig relationship, Analytic continuation, complicated differential equation, Cayley transform, Harmonic Hilbert's inequality, conjugate, Method of steepest descent, Mittag Leffler's theorem, Decide Riemann mapping theorem, matrix, Riemann surface, and Riemann sphere.
College students who will participate in work study request their designated professional for mathematics analysis help that support and use their time wisely. The engineering professional could show practical applications and simple methods to solve math problems considerably faster than students.
Mathematical analysis is predicated on the principles of the mathematical subjects and information. Mathematical analyzer is a professional who can design a task for solving complicated issues. He specializes at developing strategies of multistage procedure execution. The mathematical analyzer using tools comprise predictions and threats along with techniques of modeling, operations research, technology, decision making instinct and theory. Similar emphasis is put on fundamental sciences practice and the theory of tools. The development of a computer-based information system carries a mathematical analysis stage which improves or creates the data model which itself is a forerunner to improve or create.

As another disappointing season comes to a close, there is one major question that is on the lips of some Spurs fans – well me anyway.
Glenn Hoddle – do we rebuild with, or without him?
There have been a lot of excuses made for Glenn, and some might say that he deserves to be cut a bit of slack. No support from the board, terrible injuries, bad refereeing decisions – and he is on course to deliver Tottenham's best league performance for 1996. But there's only so far that the 'former Spurs legend' moniker can go before the patience are stretched too far.
Be under no illusions that this season has been poor despite the seemingly (relatively) good league position. How many times have you heard Glenn come out with the 'I have no idea where that performance came from' speech. It all began with the 2-3 loss to Fulham where Spurs showed their vulnerability and Hoddle chose to leave Robbie Keane on the bench. Then came a string of dismal performances – Middlebrough and Blackburn at home, Arsenal, Sunderland, West Ham, Bolton, Middlesbrough and Man City away. Even home wins over West Ham, Bolton, Everton and Man City were far from impressive.
And don't forget the dismal cup exits to Burnley and Southampton. The Southampton performance was possibly one of the worst in recent memory.
It seems a bit perverse that after two years in the job, Hoddle needs to rebuild already. You would expect that considering we are 40% of the way through the five year plan, that we would have a confident and fairly consistent team. Instead we have a team full of jaded stars and mediocre talent.
It's not Dean Richards fault that he cost £8m, but despite some improving performances, who can say that the money could not have been better spent elsewhere? Christian Ziege has enjoyed a season on the treatment table and even when he has played, he's not exactly been highly motivated. Jamie Redknapp, a decent but hardly top notch player, has been pocketing huge wages from the sidelines. Again, it's not his fault that he's injury prone.
While the point is made that Spurs would be top six if all their stars were fit, what were the chances of that happening? You take a gamble on players like Ziege and Redknapp and you must face the consequences if they spend the season out of the team. Why will next season be any different?
Steve Carr has had enough and if his body language were a newspaper article, it would read "Carr Driving to Highbury". Maurico Tarrico tries hard, but he's just not good enough. At 1.75m, he was a decent buy, but after five seasons, surely we must be setting our sights higher than him.
And if Robbie Keane keeps up his good form next season, we better be in with a shout of Europe, or he'll be on his way too.
We could realistically see the back of Carr, Poyet, Freund and Sheringham this summer. The likes of Toda, Acimovic and Bunjevcevic are a waste of space – all Hoddle signings (although I wonder just how much he had to do with the signing of Toda). Why is Steffen Iversen still in the first team frame? Why hasn't he been told to get a new club?
If we line up with a back-four of Carr/Richards/Gardner/Tarrico next season, we're going nowhere.
What about a midfield of Davies/Anderton/Redknapp/Ziege. Do you really think that these players will dominate the likes of Gerrard, Vieira, Keane/Butt?
And as usual we are bereft of players up front in the wake of Sheringham's inevitable (and timely) departure.
Will Hoddle get the money to strengthen? Sadly, no. There is only about 8m to play with, and although the transfer market is depressed, good players are not cheap.
So who do we buy?
Well I think we need to target a replacement right-back for Carr. Personally I would have liked his Irish-counterpart Steve Finnan, but it looks like there are far bigger ponds for him to swim in such as Liverpool (although frankly with Houllier at the helm I'd debate that).
In midfield, Crystal Palace left-winger Julian Gray would be an excellent addition. He's only 23 and has been hugely effective in a mediocre team – and he's a former Arsenal player! A fee of 3-4m would secure his services. We could continue the trend on the right-side of midfield with a £3-4m bid for Irish international Steven Reid. Supremely talented, creative and with a terrific shot, Reid is surely going to end up in the Premiership in the next twelve months.
Up front presents us with the most interesting options. Freddie Kanoute looks likely to go down with West Ham this season and surely a 4m offer will tempt West Ham to let an unhappy player wander over to North London.
And how about Darius Vassell. For 4-5m, he might be willing to escape the lower-reaches of the table with Aston Villa and try his hand at a heady, mid-table life-style in London. With 31 goals in 72 starts, he's got an excellent goal record and is only 23 years old. Failing that a more relastic target is Bobby Zamora, but he'd cost the same as Vassell and doesn't have the Premiership experience.
Recall Sullivan in goal and this could be next season's line-up:
Finnan Richards Gardner Ziege
Reid Davies Redknapp Gray
Keane Kanoute
Subs Keller King Anderton Zamora Blondel
That team could be built for about an 18m outlay. Is it good enough? Well yes it would be good enuogh for top six. The midfield and attack would be pacy and creative. No more 35 year old Poyet and 37 year old Sheringham, or a decrepid Anderton for 90 minutes. Ziege would have to get used to playing at left-back and that is of course a big question mark. Inevitably he'll spend most of the season injured anyway.
But the question is, is Hoddle good enough to manage it?
The answer I think, is no.
After twenty years as an ABU (Anyone But United for those who are in the dark), I finally swung around to supporting Manchester United in their battle for Premiership supermacy. I've never been particularly anti-Arsenal – in fact I cheered them on 1986 when I attended Arsenal/Manure at Highbury, and again in 1989 when they pipped Liverpool to the title – but this season was different.
Maybe it was scumbag Judas mf'er, Sol Campbell. Maybe it was Arsene Wenger's phenomenal French arrogance. Perhaps it was the scoffing Arsenal fans who were proclaiming themselves Champions-elect in March. I'd say it was all of these things.
Never have I got so much amusement from seeing something go badly wrong. Apart from John Hartson's hair transplant I suppose.
But when it came to Europe, I swung back to my ABU principals – well, you have to be consistent.

Books and Authors: Talking with Bao Phi and Thi Bui
Sarah Hunter
K-Grade 3.
FEATURE. First published January 2018 (Book Links).
Picture books about immigrant families are certainly nothing new, but renewed attention to immigrant experiences has ushered in a prodigious crop of new titles, and few are as evocative or heartening as Bao Phi and Thi Bui's A Different Pond.
It starts on a quiet, predawn Saturday morning, when a Vietnamese father wakes up his son for a fishing trip. They trundle out to the car, stop to pick up bait, and head to their favorite spot, and while this time they're alone, they've often fished there with other people from a variety of backgrounds. It's a routine experience for the boy and his father—and unlike casual fishing trips for sport, theirs is a necessity to get food on the table in their new, expensive country. But with subtle emotional cues and expressive artwork, Phi and Bui elevate their excursion into something deeply meaningful.
Beyond the mere fact of having more food to eat, their fishing trip becomes an opportunity for the boy to learn about his father's life before coming to America. The word refugee never appears in Phi's poetic lines, but hints at the reasons the father leaves Vietnam are weighty. Reminiscing about fishing in Vietnam, the father mentions a brother who died in the war. The image of that other pond carries lots of meaning for the boy, who brims with pride over his own contribution to getting food on the table and contemplates how fishing with his father connects him to the country of his origin.
Bui's distinctive artwork, full of brushy line work and rich color, beautifully illustrates Phi's lines, focusing intently on the expressive faces of the boy and his father and the vivid environments they live in—cool, midnight blue by the river while they fish, surrounded by leafy foliage and an understated yet still slightly ominous No Trespassing sign, and warm, sunshiny yellow when they're back in the warmth of home and around the dinner table, enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Together, the words and pictures tell a thought-provoking story about the challenges many new Americans face, in a tone that is never preachy or purposeful. And while Phi and Bui are telling a specific story about a Vietnamese American experience, there are many touchstones to other cultural experiences in the narrative, which will resonate more widely with readers and, hopefully, generate some much-needed empathy with others.
We recently spoke with Phi, an award-winning poet and community activist, and Bui, a graphic novelist who's won recent acclaim for her debut graphic memoir, The Best We Could Do (2017), about their debut picture book, their collaboration, and how their own experiences growing up as Vietnamese immigrants in America helped inform the book.
HUNTER: Can you tell me a little about your collaboration process?
BUI: I was dying for collaboration after working alone for so long on my graphic memoir, so I bugged Bao a lot for details about his family, his parents' house, the old neighborhood, his early memories.
PHI: I'm a fan of Thi, so I was thrilled when she said yes. I was happy to be able to work with such a talented Vietnamese American who would, in many ways, "get it." We have different experiences, but there are commonalities in the Viet refugee experience. We exchanged a lot of emails, and I dug through old family photos. I tried taking pictures of places that reminded me of the old fishing spots, but it was so long ago that those places are either gone or I don't know where they are.
HUNTER: I'm very struck by your art style. What were some of your inspirations? How was working on a picture book different from working on a graphic novel?
BUI: At this point, I sort of draw how I draw. That brushy line that tends toward dry brush is influenced by cartoonists like Jillian Tamaki, Craig Thompson, Edmond Baudoin, and Aristophane. For content, I was inspired by Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen (1970) and my own memories.
The size of the picture-book pages was a little intimidating. I'm used to drawing large and printing small for comics, which tightens up the lines. I also hadn't worked in full color before A Different Pond. On the plus side, having drawn an epic graphic memoir that was over 300 pages, I was happy with how quickly I could finish a 32-page picture book!
HUNTER: There are some harsh realities present in your story—particularly the mention of the war that killed the father's brother. How do you approach addressing such topics for a young audience?
BUI: Having grown up in similar circumstances with a similar background, these realities don't seem particularly harsh to me—they just are. If you decenter an easier life as what's normal, you can portray a less easy life more truthfully. I have always thought it was awful to go through trauma as a child and then have to present it to people as though you are the odd one. It seems to me that those children would very much have a desire to be seen and have their experiences counted—not paraded or overly emphasized as the cornerstone of their identity, but just acknowledged as part of their lives and something they have to deal with on a regular basis.
PHI: I'm a father now, and I've been reading stories or telling stories to my daughter for years. As she's grown, she's become a part of this world: the lack of Asian American history and issues both in classrooms and the Western consciousness; police brutality and Black Lives Matter; deportation and xenophobia; the fact that we live on indigenous land; that there is a racist and sexist in the highest office in this country. There is no fairy tale we can tell to shield her from all of this, and maybe we shouldn't. So the question is how are we honest with her without scaring her. How do I tell her about these things that have happened to our family, and are therefore part of her history? I don't know if I have a solid answer, but the best we can do is be intentional.
HUNTER: How did you land on fishing as the central activity of the story?
PHI: I wrote a poem about my father taking me fishing when I was young. The poem wasn't quite there, but I thought it was an important story to tell. He and my mother worked so hard, faced so much discrimination, suffered so much loss, and we kids were not easy to raise. I wanted to honor that struggle, and the fishing story was a window into it.
HUNTER: Both of you were born in Vietnam and came to America when you were very young; what was it like working on a project so connected to your own experiences? Was your process any different from other projects you've worked on?
BUI: Having just finished a graphic memoir, this was kind of nice for me because it was a little less personal! It was a little trickier because I have a desire to get things right with someone else's story, so I ended up doing a fair bit of visual research around Bao's family and the Philips neighborhood in Minneapolis.
PHI: For many years, I didn't write many poems about my life—I wrote a lot of persona poems, polemics. As I grew older and became a father, there was an urge to write down the things that formed who I am. They say trauma is passed down genetically. How else will my daughter understand this part of her? How can I grow as a person if I don't examine my pain, my regrets, my shame, my complicity in harm? So my new book of poems, as well as A Different Pond, is a struggle to both confront and critique and celebrate certain moments in my life. It's a lot of pressure, because you want to do justice to these complicated stories while not exploiting them. But I think that's a good pressure.

Watch Jimmy Kimmel Slam 'Absolutely Despicable' Net Neutrality Repeal
Late-night host calls FCC Ajit Pai a "jackhole" in scathing monologue

Jimmy Kimmel slammed the "absolutely despicable" repeal of net neutrality and called Federal Communications Commission director Ajit Pai a "jackhole" in a blistering monologue Thursday.
"The FCC did something absolutely despicable today: They voted to put an end to net neutrality. Now this is the rule that says everyone gets equal access to the internet," Kimmel said.
"As long as they us they're doing it now, internet service providers will be allowed to slow down or block web traffic to any website or streaming service that like, which benefits the big telecom companies and does the opposite for all of us."
Kimmel then pointed out that 83 percent of Americans support net neutrality and that the vast majority of the two million people who petitioned against it were "bogus," with countless deceased people among those who emailed the FCC lobbying to kill net neutrality, like in the case of late actress Patty Duke.
"Thank you President Trump and this jackhole [Pai] you appointed to run the FCC, big corporations are about to take control of the internet," the late-night host added.
Kimmel then reminded viewers that December 15th is the last day – and potentially the final time ever – that people can sign up for health care. "Once net neutrality is gone, we might not even have WebMD anymore, so this is something that you need," Kimmel said.
On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert also criticized the FCC's decision as well as Pai's attempts to make deregulation appealing to millennials:

Originally, I was thinking for each data structure instance would have its own list of segment base addresses. I realised while implementing in fact the list of segments could often for a process be the same across all data structure instances – I'm thinking there will normally be only a few shared memory segments, and they will contain all shared data, which means all the data for many data structures and their elements. As such then the multi-segment code needed to be in a little API of its own, so the same instance of segment base address information can be used with all data structure instances.

A Favorable Ruling In A Lawsuit By Female Managers Against Family Dollar
December 4, 2013 | Staff | Employment Law, Wage and Hour
Home / News / FLSA
A federal appeals court panel has given new life to a nationwide lawsuit against Family Dollar. In that case, thousands of current or former female store managers were claiming they were paid less than their male peers. By a 2-1 vote last month, the three-judge panel from the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., overturned a 2011 ruling by a Charlotte federal judge that had effectively ended the case. The decision pumps new life into a nationwide, gender-discrimination claim against the Charlotte-based business.
The company has asked to have the ruling reviewed by the full appeals court. The case could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. The complaint against Family Dollar, which operates 7,500 stores in 44 states and employs more than 50,000 workers, was filed in 2008. The 4th Circuit panel, reviewing a district court ruling, said that the complaint, as amended, met the "Walmart" standards.
The case will be allowed to proceed. In a prepared statement, the company said it "works hard to maintain a workplace free of discrimination" and expressed pride "that the majority of our store managers are women." Family Dollar believes the "class treatment of the lawsuit is not appropriate," the statement said, while pointing out that the appeals court did not address whether the claims of gender discrimination are true.
A year ago, Family Dollar settled a lawsuit with 1,700 store managers in New York who claimed that the company failed to pay them overtime. In 2009, following a class-action lawsuit in Alabama, Family Dollar paid $48 million to company managers who did not receive overtime pay. It's likely the 4th Circuit's ruling in the case will be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mass protests erupt in Egypt against presidential power-grab
Socialist Alternative AU
Mass protests have been building across Egypt in response to a power-grab by Mohamad Morsi, who last week decreed that all presidential decisions would be immune from judicial review.
Morsi's seven-point Constitutional Declaration was promoted as a necessary defence of the revolution. However, as the wording of Article two clearly shows, the Declaration is an attack on democracy: "Previous constitutional declarations, laws, and decrees made by the president since he took office on 30 June 2012…are final and binding and cannot be appealed by any way or to any entity. Nor shall they be suspended or cancelled and all lawsuits related to them and brought before any judicial body against these decisions are annulled."
On Tuesday more than 100,000 marched on Tahrir Square in Cairo, the home of the revolutionary movement that last year toppled the hated dictator Hosni Mubarak. Protesters joined others who had been staging a sit-in since 23 November against the president. Banners denouncing Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood are reportedly prominent, with one reading "The Muslim Brotherhood stole the revolution."
The president has been pressured into meetings with the country's top judges, but at the time of writing, there have been no amendments to the official decree.
Below is a statement issued by Egypt's Revolutionary Socialists on 26 November.
Kick out Feloul from all the Squares!
The revolutionary masses – who toppled the rule of the tyrant Mubarak, resisted courageously the former SCAF and its coup, and are standing steadfastly today against Morsi's tyrannical announcement [of assuming unprecedented sweeping powers] – these masses have no other choice but to identify clearly the real foes of the people who wish to return the clock back to Mubarak's days if they are win battles toward democracy and social justice.
How rude are those Feloul [remnants of the old regime]! After spending a lifetime of being Mubarak's cronies and sincere servants, here they are scrambling for a piece of the cake [a role in the state power] by appearing on TV stations and various platforms to paint themselves as defenders of "the rule of law", "independence of judiciary system" and "the struggle against dictatorship". In fact, they are taking advantage of the public fury at Morsi's failing performance, and how Morsi and his group [Muslim Brotherhood] are continuing the same old dictatorship procedures through collaboration with the same old repressive machine and following the same old, oppressive economic policies which suffocate and deny the rights of the millions of the poor and marginalised. Finally, they use the absurdity of Morsi's latest, authoritarian constitutional announcement to pretend that they were the true heroes of the revolution and its forgotten martyrs!
Would these tricks work with the people who have been shaped by the revolutionary process day in and day out? And, what has changed today for us to believe that those regime remnants are suddenly now putting the "national interests" above all?
Did cronies such as Amr Moussa, [Ahmed al-] Zind, Abdul Majeed Mahmoud, Sameh Ashour and Murtada [Mansour] suddenly wake up and find themselves after the revolution to be opponents of tyranny and corruption after spending all their lives in alliance with the big capitalists in and out of Egypt? How dare any one of them even dare to appear in Tahrir Square amongst the protesters?!
This has happened only because of the opportunistic and tyrannical behaviour of the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis throughout the past months who kept manipulating the masses whilst making deals with SCAF and salvaging Mubarak's men. Hence, there is no punishment for the murderers of the revolution's martyrs, no restructuring of the Ministry of Interior and no changes at all in the social bias of the state. This is exactly what has encouraged the regime's remnants to reappear strongly on the political scene.
The regime's remnants never were and never will be a part of the national cohort. They – alongside Mubarak – are against the people and have always positioned themselves in the service of Zionism and American imperialism. One good example of the regime's remnants is Amr Moussa. However, it is disturbing to see some supposedly nationalist figures such as Hamdin Sabahi and [Mohamed] ElBaradei, who represent two political forces within the revolution's camp, involve themselves in this dubious "National Front". We think they are acting in an opportunistic way, following the mantra "My enemy's enemy is my friend". This attitude may suit opportunists who place their narrow electoral interests above the people's interests, but it does not suit revolutionary leaders. A revolutionary leader does not try to distort and manipulate people's consciousness. Any sincere revolutionary leader should not be in such a dubious front as this one, as this will only give the counter-revolutionaries forces a nationalist cover. Rather, the revolutionaries have to organise themselves in a front that is completely independent of both the Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] and Feloul.
Any sincere revolutionary knows that our task today is complex. Our fight against the tyranny of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood cannot be separated from our fight against Feloul. We have to put our trust in the organised power of the people who are the oppressed and exploited against their enemies, the oppressors and exploiters.
Down with Mubarak's Feloul.
Down with Morsi's constitutional announcement.
Down with the Assembly for Foundation of the Constitution.

A lot of positive things can be heard about the performances of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, but for myself I hadn't had the chance to see one of his performances until saturday .. It was absolutly worth it and answering the already risen expectations.
The Moroccan dancer and choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui who works in Belgium made a furore with his last works (like e.g. "d'avant" that was shown at ImPulsTanz 2006) of medieval boy bands singing a capella and acrobatic virtuosity. He didn't shy away from using his multi-cultural identity to build bridges between the middle ages and post modernity, Orient and Occident in order to discover trans-cultural archetypes.
This year he sets off with a large ensemble of over twenty performers and live musicians to work on a myth that writes itself during the process, and is being called thus.
Sidi Larbi works closely with Patricia Bovi, a specialist in ancient music who traces the ability to be an oracle back to traumatic experience. And so a purgatory is created, an ecumenical waiting room between the past and the present, East and West, where Catholic song calls up pre-Catholic figures and Damien Jalet, as a kind of Dracula, hunts for the shadow that influences reality retrospectively.link
He had been invited to the HAU in Berlin during the last three days with his newest piece 'Myth', which in the accompanying handout of the show also could provoke fears of a scary and overload interpretation:
… Katholische Gesänge rufen vorkatholische Gestalten wach, Schatten verfolgen die menschlichen Wesen und produzieren aussergewöhnliche schöne und brilliante, bald aber auch rebellierende Tanzszenen ….
Inspiriert von westlichen Mythen und der Zeichensprache japanischer Mangas entsteht eine Bilderflut, die von wundervoller alter, vor allem italienischer Musik des Ensembles Micrologus begleitet wird.
But the ensemble – the dancers, as well as the theater people and the music ensemble – provided a superb and positive surprise. Not only are they masters in their subject, they also were carefully chosen for their parts and each of them was an integrated actors of the piece. Almost never the impression arose that any of the scenes was just a filler (like some other dance-theater-performances may produce), instead each moment, movement and action on the stage added to the whole and created a fascinating, in parts also humorous performance.
The fear it could be a pure raging down the accumulation of the handout's list as a work through and mix of all kinds of identity issues emerging from a globalization cocktail mix was in vain. Indeed it played through all the thematic points around multiculturalism, but it was an exquisite mixture based on multiplicity and simultaneity, on associative threads, with no fear of occurring ambiguities:
It was all there: the catholic suppression of any feared emotional lust, the rationalization of the same belief, which just changes the dark (side) animal, which can be admitted, the sublimation, the turn out into fights, even the coquette and the exclusion/fight/love with her counterpart, attraction and ambivalence .. up to the lived inbetween of the transvestite: '.. and you, you are dressed up, but nowhere to go ..' he/she addresses the mirror.
Feminine and masculine. Good and evil. West and east. Between reason and intuition, a miniature battle between pole opposites fighting for a hold on reality. The dancer and choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui presents Myth, a production which ventures to tell a story, that of the movement resulting from a meeting of opposites. Together with Nienke Reehorst, Patricia Bovi, the group Micrologus and 14 dancers, including Damien Jalet and Christine Leboutte, Cherkaoui recreates this ambiguous zone of transition and borders with assurance and virtuosity. link
The myths and mystic images are played out in a big row of variations, calling up the hidden darkness they have to cover – And these create humorous scenes, as well as impressing and brilliant performance and dance scenes.
It is all about the shadows cast by a certain movement, steeming from emotion or a physical one. The forced expressions are translated by the dancers into a convincing logic, a movement evolving from pushes and evasion and the wide range of transitional aspects of the inbetween.
'Only the sun has never seen her shadow' .. is one of the central sentences and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui described this theme as the inspiring motor and working method for this piece:
…The way I can manipulate shadows with dancers, so that the shadow 'does something back' to reality. Normally it is the object that creates the shadow, not the other way round. But it is precisely this reverse thinking that interests me. I want to see whether I can work back to front: what would happen if the shadow drove me forwards, instead of me creating it? What if that were the
reality? If our reality were actually the mirror-image of the shadow, which in its turn is the real 'I'?…
A second major thread is emerging from his interest and research into the theme of traumatic events, and which traces this leaves in the bodily expressions: "The sense of shadow led me to 'gothic' people, and to the source of them – Gothic – as well as to the links between Gothic and depression and melancholy, then ending up at 'trauma' again." he states in the lengthy interview on ImPulsTanz, and continues …
…'People often think that when the wound has healed, the body returns to its former state. But that is not true. The wound closes up again, but with new construction material. The wound becomes a scar. It is like a butterfly; it becomes a new form. The same thing applies to a trauma: one undergoes an essential change. If I continue on this theme, I want to know what it means to the dancers. And for myself too, I want to reflect on certain things I think I will never get over. I wonder whether this is because I focus on what has gone instead of looking at what
has appeared in its place.'…

Technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality can feel futuristic and out of reach. South by Southwest is bringing these technologies to Austin's own backyard.
These technologies are powerful tools for multiple industries. With lots to explore, it can be difficult knowing where to start. The Daily Texan has compiled this list of VR, AR and MR opportunities at SXSW.
SXSW is holding a virtual cinema showcasing 26 unique stories from VR exhibitors at the JW Marriott in Griffin Hall from March 11 through March 13. With engaging documentaries, comedic narratives and immersive experiences, there is something for everyone.
Follow the life of 17-year-old Rani, who is determined to fight cultural norms, from Varanasi, India with "Girl Icon" at booth 71. A dance-oriented experience is available at Booth Nine with "Runnin," a retro-future interactive dance party. Take part in a fight for survival on an island planet with "Eleven Eleven" at booth 16.
While the virtual cinema shows what these technologies can do, SXSW is also designating sessions for discussion. Key speakers will explore the ins and outs of how VR, AR and MR can impact specific industries.
With the emergence of these immersive technologies, many may worry about isolation and a disconnect from the world. The panel session, "Better with Friends: The Social Life of VR," will discuss ways to connect the real and virtual worlds to improve communication. (March 13 from 12:30 p.m.–1:30 p.m. at JW Marriott, Salon 1-2)
"An Honest Hologram? The Ethics of MR Design" is a dual speaker session that will explore the issue of ethics when utilizing these technologies and offer tools to implement boundaries. (March 11 from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. at JW Marriott, Salon 1-2)
Other sessions explore topics such as VR, AR and MR in sports, space programs and marketing, so look at the full list to find a niche.
Workshop Sessions
For a more hands-on experience, SXSW is offering three workshops.
Get to work and learn the fundamentals of designing AR at "Build Your Own AR Prototype," where participants create and test their own engaging experience. (March 11 from 3:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m. at Westin Austin Downtown, Continental 1)
Interested in app development? "Chalk Talk: Developing for VR, AR and MR," invites participants to explore the creation of apps using VR and AR technologies. (March 11 from 12:30 p.m.–2 p.m. at Westin Austin Downtown, The Gallery Room, or March 12 from 3:30 p.m.–5 p.m. at Westin Austin Downtown, Continental 1)
Meet Up Sessions
Networking is heavily emphasized for college students. Luckily, it's also a large part of SXSW. Virtual technology enthusiasts can find their people at these sessions.
"The Women in XR Meet Up" is for the ladies. Meet with other women in the virtual technology industry, share experiences and discuss ideas about the future. (March 13 from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. at Fairmont, Wisteria Room)
The "VR/AR Healthcare Meet Up" will connect you to professionals in the healthcare industry to discuss how the future of technology can impact the clinical setting. (March 13 from 11 a.m. –12 p.m. at Fairmont, Primrose)


With the Nexus lineup, Google stepped into the smartphone and tablet market. Then, the company launched several products like Chromebook, Google TV, Chromecast, Google Glass, Google home and much more. What's missing? Well, apparently we haven't seen the Google Smartwatch yet. In case you're waiting for it, here is good news for you. The company has finally confirmed that it is going to launch two new smartwatches early next year. Isn't that great news?
The news came from 'The Verge' which is a leading technology blog. Jeff Chang, Google's product manager for Android Wear, revealed in a recent interview that the company has plans to launch two new smartwatches early next year with the Android Wear 2.0. The Google Smartwatch was there in the news since the beginning of 2016 is we saw some renders and concepts also. Now, since the company has revealed the launch, we hope that we will get more information about the smartwatches in coming days as not many days are now left for 2016 to end!
READ: Android 7.1.1 Update: Here's What's New?
We've enabled a lot of diversity with our hardware partners to target different types of consumers and preferences before noting that Google is "quite optimistic" about the prospects of smartwatches. This is a marathon, not a sprint. This category of product is here with us to stay.

More Marines discharged over vaccine refusal, total at 169
by: LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press
Dr. Manjul Shukla transfers Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine into a syringe, Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021, at a mobile vaccination clinic in Worcester, Mass. As the U.S. recorded its first confirmed case of the omicron variant, doctors across the country are experiencing a more imminent crisis with a delta variant that is sending record numbers of people to the hospital in New England and the Midwest. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Marine Corps discharged 66 Marines in the past week for refusing to get the coronavirus vaccine as mandated by the military, outpacing the other services at discipline related to the shots.
The latest Corps actions, which came as COVID-19 cases surged across the country as a result of the omicron variant, brought the total number of Marines booted out of the service for vaccine refusal to 169.
"The speed with which the disease transmits among individuals has increased risk to our Marines and the Marine Corps' mission," the Marine Corps said in a statement, even as the percentage of those at least partially vaccinated remained at 95%, the same as last week.
The infection rise also hit close to the Defense Department's No. 2 leader. The Pentagon announced Thursday that seven staff members who traveled with Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks last week to Hawaii, California and Nebraska have tested positive for the virus. Hicks and members of her personal staff have so far tested negative.
Hicks' trip included stops at U.S. Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego and U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha. She also visited the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility in Hawaii and met with families who have been affected by fuel contamination in drinking water at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
The department said the tests showing the positive results were taken at the conclusion of the trip and that contact tracing is now going on at all the bases, hotels and other facilities Hicks visited.
The United States is seeing an average of 149,000 infections a day, as omicron appears to spread up to three times faster than the delta variant.
Officials say the vaccines, particularly with the boosters, beef up protections against more severe illnesses. And the Pentagon has ordered all service members — active duty, National Guard and Reserves — to get the vaccine, saying it is critical to maintaining the health and readiness of the force.
Already this week, the Pentagon said 1,000 active duty troops will be deployed to states to help shore up beleaguered health care workers.
The Marine Corps has been the most aggressive in discharging troops who refuse the vaccine. And it also has denied all religious requests for vaccine exemptions that have been processed. As of Thursday, 3,080 of the 3,192 requests received — or more than 96% — have been processed and rejected.
The Marine vaccination rate is the lowest among the military services. The Army, Navy and Air Force all have nearly or more than 98% who have gotten at least one shot.
The airline industry is raising the stakes in a showdown with AT&T and Verizon over plans to launch new 5G wireless service this week, warning that thousands of flights could be grounded or delayed if the rollout takes place near major airports.
CEOs of the nation's largest airlines say that interference from the wireless service on a key instrument on planes is worse than they originally thought.

Imperatorski Wojenny Order św. Mikołaja Cudotwórcy (ros.: Императорский Военный Орден Святителя Николая Чудотворца) – emigracyjne odznaczenie rosyjskie, nadawane od 1929 przez głowę b. cesarskiej rodziny Romanowów. Order został poświęcony Świętemu Mikołajowi z Miry.

Zarys historii
Zaplanowany już w 1915, w przedostatnim roku panowania Mikołaja II order został ustanowiony 19 lipca 1929, w jedenastą rocznicę tragicznej śmierci ostatniego cara Wszechrosji Mikołaja II przez jego kuzyna, pretendenta do tronu carskiego w.ks. Cyryla, który w 1924, nie bez sprzeciwu niektórych "białych" kół emigracyjnych, proklamował się imperatorem Rosji.

Odznaczenie, ustanowione ku czci zmarłego Mikołaja II, przysługiwało wszystkim rosyjskim weteranom I wojny światowej, którzy służyli w szeregach carskiej armii, i posiadało jedną klasę, noszoną na lewej piersi. 4 sierpnia 2001 obecna pretendentka do tronu rosyjskiego Maria Władimirowna Romanowa nadała orderowi nowe statuty, dodając mu dwie dalsze klasy: I., noszoną na tzw. Wielkiej Wstędze z prawego ramiona na lewy bok, i II., noszoną jako komandoria na szyi. Dawny order stał się III.klasą, noszoną na lewej piersi na pięciokątnej wstążce typu rosyjskiego. Nie wiadomo, komu i za jakie zasługi order jest obecnie nadawany, ale został zalegalizowany przez Ministerstwo Obrony Federacji Rosyjskiej 14 grudnia 2001 i dozwolone jest jego noszenie do munduru.

Insygnium
Oznaka orderu to emaliowany na biało krzyż typu kawalerskiego (spotyka się także krzyże nieemaliowane, niegdyś nadawane prawdopodobnie podoficerom i szeregowym). W medalionie środkowym awersu znajduje się w przypadku krzyży nadawanych chrześcijanom wizerunek św. Mikołaja Cudotwórcy, przy krzyżach nadawanych niechrześcijanom spleciony monogram założyciela "K I" (Kiriłł I), przy krzyżach nadawanych personelowi medycznemu symbol Czerwonego Krzyża. Między ramionami pierwotnego krzyża z 1929 r. znajdowały się nakładane na miecze złote dwugłowe orły carskie, identyczne jak przy klasie wojskowej dawnego carskiego orderu św. Stanisława. Rewers był nieemaliowany i nosił w medalionie środkowym napis "ВЕЛ. MIРОВ.ВОЙНА 1914-1917 Г.Г". Przy wczesnych egzemplarzach odznaczenia z lat 20. i 30. XX wieku (nadawanych Rosjanom) spotyka się także zamiast orłów pochodzące z herbu Romanowów złote gryfy między ramionami krzyża. Order noszony jest na wstędze o kolorach chorągwi domu cesarskiego, czarno-żółto-białej. W statutach z roku 2001 przewidziane są także krzyże bez mieczy pod orłami. Obecne oznaki orderu posiadają na awersie otaczający wizerunek świętego napis "Зa вoeнныe зacлуги" (Za zasługi wojskowe), a na rewersie dewizę orderu "Дoлг-Чecть-Oтeчecтвo" (Obowiązek-Honor-Ojczyzna), zaś na ramionach rewersu inicjały "H II" i "K I" oraz numer nadania (liczony od 2001 r.) na dolnym ramieniu.

Ordery o podobnej nazwie zostały ustanowione przez "białego generała" Wrangla (1920) oraz na Ukrainie po 1991.
