Rachid Ghannouchi Calls Gaza Truce "A Victory For The Free Peoples Of The World"
By gmbwatch on	 November 28, 2012 Daily Mideast Crisis
The Middle Eastern Monitor is reporting on statements by Tunisian Muslim Brotherhood leader Rachid Ghannouchi in which he called the recent Gaza truce "a victory for the free peoples of the world" and called on Arab and Muslim nations to support the "resistance". According to the report:
Friday, 23 November 2012 The leader of Tunisia's Al-Nahda Party, Sheikh Rachid Ghannouchi, has praised the achievements of the Palestinian resistance in the face of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Sheikh Ghannouchi added that the Egyptian-brokered truce 'represents a victory for Palestine, the Arab and Muslim nations, and the free people of the world'. In an exclusive statement to Quds Press, Ghannouchi explained that what is required now is for the Arabs, the Muslims and the world's free people to stand by those who are oppressed and support the resistance to Israel's military occupation. The Al-Nahda leader also reiterated his readiness to contribute to the Palestinian reconciliation process: 'Any work that takes us closer to Palestinian unity is noble work and we will not hesitate to make any effort towards that objective.' Ghannouchi revealed that the World Federation of Muslim Scholars is now considering Gaza as a venue for its next general secretariat summit.
A post from November 2011 reviewed the evidence linking the Ennahda (aka Nahda) Party to the Global Muslim Brotherhood.
Ennahda is headed by Rachid Ghannouchi (many spelling variations) who can best be described as an independent Islamist power center who is tied to the global Muslim Brotherhood though his membership in the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) and his important position in the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), both organizations led by Global Muslim Brotherhood Youssef Qaradawi. An Egyptian news report has identified Ghannouchi as a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood "abroad." Ghannouchi is also one of the founding members of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), a Saudi organization closely linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and dedicated to the propagation of "Wahabist" Islam throughout the world. Ghannouchi is known for his thinking on the issue of Islam and citizenship rights. Earlier posts reported on the return of Mr. Ghannouchi to Tunisia following his long exile in the UK.",
Mr. Ghannouchi is usually described in the media as a "moderate but other posts have detailed his extremist background. The U.K. based Henry Jackson Society has published a report titled "Moderates or Manipulators? Tunisia's Ennahda Islamists" that details the extremist positions and statements of the Tunisian Ennahda party and its leader Rachid Ghannouchi. The report's Executive Summary begins:
The Ennahda party, which heads a coalition in Tunisia's first freely elected government, is described by most international observers as being a "moderate Islamist" party despite its ideologically extreme origins, the recorded statements of founder Rachid Ghannouchi and the party's worrying recent activities.
Appeasing ultra-extreme salafists
Since assuming the mantle of government, Ennahda is engaged in an awkward double balancing act of appeasing both Tunisians and the West and secularists and ultra-extreme Salafists."
• Ennahda has tolerated but distanced itself from often-violent Salafist rallies in Tunisia, but it has also ruled out basing the country's new constitution on sharia law.
• Ennahda officials have also given implicit support to extremists by denouncing the award-winning animated film Persopolis as "prostitution" after the home of film's
Tunisian exhibitor was firebombed by Salafists.
support for hamas
• Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, an Ennahda member, hosted a high-ranking Hamas official in November 2011 at which the official declared "The conquest of Jerusalem will set out from here. You are witnessing a divine, historic moment — a new era in civilization, God willing: the sixth caliphate."

Cyprus growth expected to 'slow sharply'
Economic growth in Cyprus will slow sharply before recovering, due to the shock associated with the war in Ukraine, the International Monetary Fund has said, adding that the key near-term challenge "is to calibrate a policy response to the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine."
In its Staff Concluding Statement over the completion of the 2022 Article IV Mission to Cyprus, the IMF said that while the 2022 budget provides sufficient fiscal support in the baseline, "additional discretionary support may be needed if the impact of the shock is larger than expected," stressing that such support should be temporary, targeted, and not hinder reallocation of labor to expanding sectors.
In the medium term, the IMF calls for a gradual fiscal adjustment that should aim to rebuild buffers by bringing the budget close to balance by 2024.
"Despite a reduction in exposures to Russia, Cyprus is highly vulnerable to the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine," the IMF said, recalling that the island's tourism sector is highly dependent on arrivals from Russia, which represent about 20% of the total.
It also notes that the direct impact on the financial sector from sanctions will likely be limited given that exposures to Russia have diminished since the financial crisis and even more so after winding down operations of RCB Bank.
On Cyprus' growth prospects, the IMF says that growth is projected to slow from 5.5% in 2021 to around 2% in 2022, reflecting mainly the impact of the war and sanctions on the export of services (including indirect slower growth in Europe), and the negative terms-of-trade shock from higher energy and food prices. In October, the IMF projected a 3.6% growth rate for Cyprus.
The Fund said recovery should regain momentum in 2023 if the situation normalizes, and it is projected to continue in the medium term with potential growth gradually increasing (from 2.5% to about 3% by 2027), supported by investments and structural reforms in the Recovery and Resilience Plan, while inflation is expected to rise this year and then start declining, but will remain elevated in 2023 and beyond given the prolonged pass-through.
Pointing out that risks are tilted to the downside, the IMF said the key risk is an escalation and longer duration of the war and the sanctions.

Francis Bacon & The Law In His Early Shakespeare Plays Reflected In His Life & Writings
FRANCIS BACON AND THE LAW.pdf
The philosophical, political and legal DNA of Francis Bacon runs through the very veins and arteries of the Shakespeare poems and plays. As the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, the Elizabethan Lord Keeper and de facto Lord Chancellor of England from a very early age he drank in, assimilated and internalised, the inner workings of the law, the superstructure of its legal machinery, and all its procedures, practices and operations. Under the guidance of his father Bacon was admitted to Gray's Inn where with his extraordinary intellectual gifts and masterful comprehension of the law he enjoyed a stellar rise that eventually led to him occupying all the major legal offices of state, solicitor-general, attorney-general, Lord Keeper and Lord Chancellor of England.
During his time at Gray's Inn Bacon was de facto Master of the Revels writing and producing several masques, entertainments and plays, several of which have survived. Most importantly, Bacon wrote a play entitled The Misfortunes of Arthur (a political allegory about Queen Elizabeth and Mary, Queen of Scots) which was performed by members of Gray's Inn before Queen Elizabeth at Greenwich on 28 February 1588, a date notable for the very singular fact that it marked the beginning of what is known as the Shakespearean era. Its themes and language find expression and are demonstrably echoed in a significant number of his early Shakespeare plays including the first tetralogy of I Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI and Richard III, written around the same time or shortly after the Misfortunes, and from the same early period Titus Andronicus, King John, Richard II and The Comedy of Errors.
These plays display an intimate familiarity with the principles and practices of all the major branches of the law: common law, civil law, statute law, and the maxims of English law, as well as its principles, complex technicalities, customs and jurisprudence. Their legal language and phrases readily flow from his pen and in the plays his characters talk in a language of the law straight out of Bacon's Legal Tracts: from Slade's Case, The Maxims of the Law, The Postnati Case, The Charge of Francis Bacon Touching Duels, The Elements of the Common Laws of England, etc, none of which were published in his lifetime.
Several of these plays also reflect some of his other political-legal tracts (also not published during his lifetime), most notably Certain Observations Upon a Libel (c. 1592) commissioned by and written in defence of his uncle Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley (married to Lady Mildred Cooke Cecil, elder sister of his mother Lady Anne Cooke Bacon) aspects of which are reflected in 2 Henry VI wherein the Duke of Gloucester is modelled on Cecil and Dame Eleanor points to his wife Lady Mildred Cecil. Their son Sir Robert Cecil, with whom Bacon grew up, he painted in the titular character of Richard III and in his essay Of Deformity.
In the less well-known The Troublesome Reign of King John Bacon explores the law of bastardy, in particular the law surrounding royal bastardy, through the most important and largest role in the play, the royal bastard Sir Philip Faulconbridge, universally regarded as the hero of the play. It is revealed here for the first time that the character of the royal bastard is a disguised dramatization of its author Bacon, the secret concealed royal son of Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
For the best part of a year Bacon organised and directed the magnificent Gray's Inn Christmas Revels (1594-5) which witnessed the premier of his legal play The Comedy of Errors in which a programme of legal reforms began by Sir Nicholas Bacon and continued by Francis Bacon found dramatic expression. On the last of its Grand Nights which took place on 3 January 1595 Bacon wrote six speeches on the Exercise of War, the Study of Philosophy, the Eternizement and Fame by Buildings and Foundations, the Absoluteness of State and Treasure, Virtue and a gracious Government, and Persuading Pastimes and Sports, in the fifth of which, he sets forth arguments for the extensive reform of the machinery of the law, the courts of law and justice, and its delays and abuses, necessary for the peace and security of the kingdom, completing the cycle of his early Baconian-Shakespearean legal plays.

High Application Rates of Reclaimed Water Benefit Citrus Tree Growth and Fruit Production
Lawrence R. Parsons, T. Adair Wheaton, and William S. Castle
Conversion of wastewater to reclaimed water for crop irrigation conserves water and is an effective way to handle a growing urban problem: the disposal of wastewater. Water Conserv II is a large reclaimed water project developed by Orlando and Orange County, Fla., that presently irrigates ≈1900 ha of citrus. The project includes a research component to evaluate the response of citrus to irrigation using reclaimed water. Citrus trees in an experimental planting responded well to very high application rates of reclaimed water. Irrigation treatments included annual applications of 400 mm of well water, and 400, 1250, and 2500 mm of reclaimed water. The 2500-mm rate is excessive, and since disposal was of interest, this rate was used to determine if citrus could tolerate such high rates of irrigation. The effects of these treatments were compared on `Hamlin' orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] and `Orlando' tangelo (C. paradisi Macf. × C. reticulata Blanco) combined with four rootstocks: Carrizo citrange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. × Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], Cleopatra mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco), sour orange (C. aurantium L.), and Swingle citrumelo (C. paradisi × P. trifoliata). Growth and fruit production were greatest at the highest irrigation rate. Concentration of soluble solids in the juice was usually lowered by the highest irrigation rate, but total soluble solids per hectare were 15.5% higher compared to the 400-mm rate, due to the greater fruit production. While fruit soluble solids were usually lowered by higher irrigation, the reduction in fruit soluble solids observed on three of the rootstocks did not occur in trees on Carrizo citrange. Fruit peel color score was lower but juice color score was higher at the highest irrigation rate. Crop efficiency (fruit production per unit of canopy volume) was usually lower at the 2500-mm rate and declined as trees grew older. Weed cover increased with increasing irrigation rate, but was controllable. Irrigation with high rates of reclaimed water provided a satisfactory disposal method for treated effluent, benefited growth and production of citrus, and eliminated the need for other sources of irrigation water. Reclaimed water, once believed to be a disposal problem in Florida, is now considered to be one way to meet irrigation demands.

By-product Iron-humate Increases Tree Growth and Fruit Production of Orange and Grapefruit
A.K. Alva and T.A. Obreza
Citrus trees planted in alkaline soils typically show iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis. Currently, Fe-EDDHA (ethylenediiminobis-2-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid) chelate is the most effective source of Fe for high pH soils. Iron humate (FeH), a by-product of the drinking water decolorization process, was compared with Fe-EDDHA for Fe deficiency correction on nonbearing `Ambersweet' orange and `Ruby Red' grapefruit Citrus paradisi Macf., and bearing `Hamlin' orange Citrus sinensis and `Flame' grapefruit trees, all on Swingle citrumelo rootstock, planted on high pH (>7.6) soils. Iron humate was applied under the tree canopy in spring at rates from 2 to 200 g Fe (nonbearing trees), or 22 to 352 g Fe (bearing trees) per tree per year. Application of FeH to nonbearing trees decreased twig dieback rating and increased flush growth, flush color rating, tree size, and leaf Fe concentration. Addition of urea or ammonium nitrate to FeH did not increase Fe availability. Iron amendments (22 g Fe per tree per year) increased fruit yield after the 1st year of application. Further increases in the rate of Fe, from 22 to 352 g Fe per tree per year as FeH, did not significantly increase tree growth, fruit yield, or fruit quality. This study demonstrated that FeH was an effective Fe source for citrus trees planted on alkaline soils.
Variability in Juice Quality of `Valencia' Sweet Orange and Sample Size Estimation for Juice Quality Experiments
Graham H. Barry, William S. Castle, Frederick S. Davies, and Ramon C. Littell
Sources of variation in juice quality of `Valencia'sweet orange [Citrus sinensis(L.) Osb.] were quantified and their relative contributions to variability in juice quality were determined, from which sample sizes were estimated. Commercial orchards of `Valencia' sweet orange trees on Carrizo citrange [C. sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] rootstock were selected at four geographic locations representing the major citrus-producing regions in Florida. Within- and between-tree variation in soluble solids concentration (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) were estimated in two experiments over two or three seasons, respectively. Variance components for all treatment effects were estimated to partition total variation into all possible component sources of variation. Seasonal variation in SSC and TA was relatively small, but larger for TA than SSC. Variation in SSC among blocks within a location was intermediate to low, and was less than variation among locations. In contrast, tree-to-tree variation in SSC and TA was large, in spite of sampling from trees of similar vigor and crop load, and variation in SSC and TA among fruit was relatively large. Based on results of this study, samples consisting of 35 fruit are required to detect differences (P ≤ 0.05) of 0.3% SSC and 0.06% TA, whereas 20-fruit samples can be used to detect differences of 0.4% SSC and 0.08% TA. Seven replications are required to detect differences of 0.5% SSC and 0.1% TA, with small gains in precision when tree numbers exceed 10.
`Valencia' Orange Fruit Yield with Ambient Oxidant or Sulfur Dioxide Exposures
D.M. Olszyk, G. Kats, C.L. Morrison, P.J. Dawson, I. Gocka, J. Wolf, and C.R. Thompson
Three-year-old `Valencia' orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] trees were exposed to air pollutants for 4. years in open-top field chambers to determine the chronic effects of ambient oxidants (primarily ozone) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) on fruit yield and quality and tree growth. Ozone concentrations averaged 0.012,0.040, and 0.075 ppm for 0800 to 2000 hr during April to October for filtered, half-ambient, and full ambient oxidant chambers. Sulfur dioxide was applied continuously at 0.09 ppm. Oxidant and SO2 effects were only marginally significant, as there was considerable variability in response among individual trees and between years. Across two "on" production years, yields were 31% lower with ambient oxidants, 11% lower with half-ambient oxidants, and 29% lower with sulfur dioxide compared to filtered air. Number of fruit per tree was reduced by ambient oxidants and SO2. Individual fruit weights were reduced by ambient oxidants, but no other fruit quality characteristics showed definite responses to ambient oxidants or SO2. Ambient oxidants had no effect on yield or quality of fruit during one "off' production year. Neither ambient oxidants nor SO, affected tree growth.
Naphthalene Acetic Acid and 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic Acid Affect the Response of Mature Orange Fruit to Abscission Chemicals
Effects of NAA, TIBA, ethephon, and CMN-Pyrazole on fruit detachment force (FDF) of mature `Valencia' and `Hamlin' orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] fruit were examined in 2000 and 2001. NAA effectively inhibited the reduction in FDF or fruit abscission caused by ethephon when applied to the abscission zone 24 hours before ethephon application, but had no significant effect when applied to the fruit without contacting the abscission zone, or to the peduncle ≈4 cm above the abscission zone. TIBA, an auxin transport inhibitor, decreased FDF of mature fruit and promoted fruit abscission when applied alone as a spray to the canopy or directly to the fruit peduncle. This response was dependent on TIBA concentration. TIBA was more effective when applied in combination with ethephon or CMN-Pyrazole than alone. These results are consistent with our previous data that endogenous auxin concentration in the abscission zone of mature `Valencia' orange fruit is one of the factors controlling the sensitivity and thus the responsiveness of the abscission zone of mature fruit to abscission chemicals. Chemical names used: 5-chloro-3-methyl-4-nitro-pyrazole (CMN-Pyrazole); 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon); naphthalene acetic acid (NAA); 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA).
The Effect of Timing of the Final Seasonal Nitrogen Fertigation on Early Fruit Maturity, Fruit Diameter, and Leaf Nitrogen on Navel Oranges
Craig Kallsen
Previous research has shown that nitrogen fertilization rates may influence fruit quality characteristics of navel oranges [(Citrus sinensis) (L.) Osbeck]. The objective of this study was to determine, for equal seasonal N applications, if the timing of the last seasonal nitrogen fertigation promotes early fruit maturity or affects fruit size. The study consisted of four treatments with the total seasonal allocation of nitrogen fertilizer applied by ≈1 May, 1 June, 1 July, and 1 Aug. in an experimental site in a commercial orange grove in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. The source of nitrogen was a liquid calcium ammonium nitrate injected through the irrigation system. No significant treatment differences in soluble solids concentration, titratable acidity, the ratio of soluble solids concentration to titratable acidity, percent juice, fruit color and fruit diameter were detected in fruit sampled in October. Similarly, in September, no significant differences in leaf nitrogen were found among treatments. These results do not support the hypothesis that applying the total seasonal application of nitrogen early in the season results in earlier orange maturity or larger fruit size, at least not for trees that have leaf N in the optimum range.

Stem Flow, Throughfall, and Canopy Interception of Rainfall by Citrus Tree Canopies
Y.C. Li, A.K. Alva, D.V. Calvert, and M. Zhang
It is generally believed that the interception of rain by the citrus tree canopy can substantially decrease the throughfall under the canopy as compared to that along the dripline or outside the canopy (incident rainfall). Therefore, the position of placement of soil-applied agrichemicals in relation to the tree canopy may be an important consideration to minimize their leaching during rain events. In this study, the distributions of rainfall under the tree canopies of three citrus cultivars, `Marsh' grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.), `Hamlin' orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), and `Temple' orange (Citrus hybrid), were evaluated at four directions (north, south, east, west), two positions (dripline and under the canopy), and stem flow. There was not a significant canopy effect on rainfall amounts from stem flow or dripline, compared with outside canopy, for any citrus cultivar or storm event. However, throughfall varied significantly among the four cardinal directions under the canopy of all three citrus cultivars and was highly related to the wind direction. Among the three citrus cultivars evaluated in this study, throughfall, stem flow, and canopy interception accounted for 89.5% to 92.7%, 0.5% to 4.7%, and 5.8% to 9.3% of the incident rainfall, respectively.

Quantitative Real-time Reverse Transcriptase-PCR Profiling of Anthocyanin Biosynthetic Genes during Orange Fruit Ripening
Paola S. Cotroneo, Maria P. Russo, Manuela Ciuni, Giuseppe Reforgiato Recupero, and Angela R. Lo Piero
Genes encoding chalcone synthase (CHS), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), and UDP-glucose-flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT), some of the enzymes of anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, were assayed in two different experiments using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR, in order to test their transcription levels in the flesh of blood and common orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] fruit, and to investigate their role in anthocyanin accumulation in the same tissue. The first experiment compared a blood orange and a common orange cultivar during seven different fruit maturation stages. This was followed by the test of 11 different genotypes at the end of the winter season. Data collected from the first experiment, over the blood orange cultivar, were statistically analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results show that CHS, ANS, and UFGT mRNA transcripts are up- and co-regulated in the blood orange cultivar, whereas they are down-regulated in the common orange cultivar. There is evidence of correspondence between the target genes expression level and the content of the pigment assessed. The second test confirms this correlation and shows that enzyme synthesis levels and pigment accumulation, in plants grown under the same environmental conditions, are dependent on the differences occurring among the genotypes tested. These results suggest that the absence of pigment in the common orange cultivars may be caused by the lack of induction on the structural genes expression. This is the first report on the characterization of the relationships between biosynthetic genes expression and fruit flesh anthocyanin content in blood oranges.
Cellulose-based Coatings as Carriers for Candida guillermondii and Debaryomyces sp. in Reducing Decay of Oranges
R. Potjewijd, M.O. Nisperos, J.K. Burns, M. Parish, and E.A. Baldwin
Varying the cellulose component of coating formulations affected the survival of two yeast biocontrol agents, Candida guillermondii (Castelani) Langeron and Guerra strain US7 and Debaryomyces sp. strain 230, when these yeasts were incorporated into the coating. Using methylcellulose as the main film-former gave the most recovery of the yeasts after an incubation period for both strains. Significant control of decay on naturally infected `Pineapple' and `Valencia' oranges [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] was demonstrated for US7 in a methylcellulose-based coating for the first 2 to 4 weeks of storage at 16C and 90% relative humidity. During this time, US7 in methylcellulose formulations was similar in decay control to a commercial shellac coating with imazalil at 2000 mg·liter–1. A US7 concentration of at least 105 colony-forming units/cm was maintained on the coated fruit surface of `Valencia' oranges for 3 weeks of storage. Suppression of decay by US7 was improved by the addition of glucose and calcium chloride to the coating formulation. Although nearly equal in concentration recovered, Debaryomyces strain 230 was not as effective as US7 in disease suppression of `Pineapple' oranges. The addition of US7 to Nature Seal, a coating material made with methylcellulose, had neither a quantitative nor a qualitative effect on the pathogen population compared to the same formulation without the antagonist. Chemical name used: 1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2-propenyloxy)ethyl]-1H-imidazole (imazalil).
Evaluation of Controlled-release Fertilizers for Young Citrus Trees
Mongi Zekri and Robert C.J. Koo
Controlled-release sources of N and K were compared with soluble sources on young `Valencia' orange trees (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osb.). The effects of these fertilizers on leaf mineral concentration, soil chemical analysis, and tree growth were evaluated for 3 years. Soluble fertilizers were generally more readily available but had shorter residual effects on leaves and soil than controlled-release fertilizers. In the top 30 cm of soil, the plots treated with controlled-release N had 23% more total N than those treated with soluble N sources, while the plots fertilized with controlled-release K contained 56% more extractable K than those that received soluble K. Different effects on leaf and soil N between the two controlled-release N sources, sulfur-coated urea (SCU) and methylene urea (MU), were also found. With the use of controlled-release fertilizers, application frequency was reduced from a total of 15 to six applications with no adverse effects on tree growth, leaf mineral composition, or soil fertility during the first 3 years. Combining soluble and controlled-release fertilizers in a plant nutrition program offers an economical and effective strategy for citrus growers.

Vacations should be the most relaxing time of the year and not the most stressful. I am lucky enough to travel all over the world for our company Exceptional Villas and I am pleased to present my top 21 travel tips to ensure you have the most stress-free vacation possible.
As soon as you have booked your vacation, book your travel insurance. Nine times out of ten you won't need it, but for that occasion when one of your party may not be able to travel, or there is a force majeur at your destination which prevents you from travelling, or your luggage gets lost, then you might just need it. A good travel policy will sort all these issues out. The small investment is so worth it for the peace of mind you get.
The week before you travel, make sure you have everything in order. Finish the project you have been working on. Make sure all your bills and paperwork are up to date. Tell people you are going to be away and will be offline. Let people know your return date.
Relax and enjoy the journey. There is nothing worse than feeling stressed at airports, train stations and waiting for buses. Take a few deep breaths and enjoy the journey you are on. Don't think about when you get there. Think about enjoying yourself right now. Have a great book, a movie downloaded on your phone or iPad, a podcast or simply chat with the people around you. You might well meet some interesting new friends.
Be flexible as sometimes things do go wrong, and there is little point in getting upset and ruining the rest of your vacation.
If your flights delayed, stay calm. There is nothing you can do, and it is out of your control. Take out your book, iPad, podcast and enjoy! You will get to your destination albeit a bit late. In the overall scheme of things that can stress you in life, it is a very small one. Afterall life is short, and something on this level is not worth getting upset about.
If you have checked in luggage, bring some essentials in your hand luggage so that if your bag doesn't arrive, you can manage for 24 hours. 99.9 per cent of the time, your bag will arrive within 24 hours, and it would be such a pity to not enjoy the first day of your vacation as a result of a delayed bag.
Make sure you have everything on your laptop and phone backed up. If you do lose them, they will be covered by your travel insurance and they are easy enough to replace once you can retrieve all your data quickly.
Call your bank and let them know both where you are going and for how long. There is nothing worse than going to pay your hotel bill or your restaurant bill, and your credit card has been stopped because your bank is covering their backs!
Stash a bit of cash when you are travelling. If you lose your wallet, it is always good to have some cash hidden in different areas. Your credit cards can be easily stopped so if you have some cash to keep you going, you can avoid a lot of stress.
Relax and don't be anxious. The world is not nearly as dangerous as you might think. The media tends to blow crime out of all proportion and make some places look much worse than they are. Of course, you should use common sense but being more relaxed will help to bring a new destination to life. You are more likely to chat to locals for example. Make eye contact with people. Smile and engage with them. You will be amazed what an impact this can have on your vacation experience.
If you are booking a villa and travelling somewhere like Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic, use a company that has a great concierge service such as Exceptional Villas. They will organize everything for you in advance. Things like car hire, ground transportation, excursions, restaurants, boat cruises, fishing, golf and airport fast tracks may all be sorted in advance of your trip making it much more carefree and relaxed.
Avoid going in the peak of the season. There is always extra stress when a destination is very busy. Car parking, roads and restaurants are all under pressure and getting a good table can be hard or even getting a restaurant booking. And if you do, the service can be less than good. But if the peak times are the only time you can travel, then my best advice is to book really early and book all your concierge details at the same time such as your car hire, restaurants and excursions.
Wake up early when you're on vacation. It can be the best time to enjoy a new country.
Take your time when on vacation. Don't try and do seven cities in seven days. You are much better to really get to know one place and be able to relax and enjoy it as opposed to running from place to place and only seeing the surface and touristy areas.
Look after your body when you are travelling. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat really healthy foods, exercise and keep really well hydrated. If you are in anyway worried about the water, don't drink it and use bottled water instead. Don't eat salads or anything that might have been washed in the local water. Avoid ice in drinks. There is nothing that will destroy a vacation more than being unwell for all or part of your trip and a lot of illness may be avoided by being careful.
Pack less rather than more. You will be amazed at how liberating it is to have less stuff around you when you are travelling. I will often pack a bag and then take half of what I have packed out.
Make a list of all the essential things you will need for your vacation about a week in advance. This way you can avoid a lot of stress trying to replace essential items.
Keep copies of all your important items such as passport and driving licence. It is so much easier to get a replacement document if you have a photocopy of the original one.
Bring a portable power bank battery. If you are travelling for a long time and can't get to a power socket, it will ensure you have access to your phone and things like google maps for much longer.
When you first arrive at your new hotel or villa, put the address and phone number in your phone. Some cab drivers may not know where you are staying, and this can really save you if you also can't remember the specific address.
Last but not least, why not consider leaving all your devices and technology behind you. At first, you might think you cannot cope without being connected but just imagine if it was like the old days where people could only reach you by the traditional route of landline and how relaxed you might be when you can't check what's happening at the office or look at your emails.

combinatorics, binary indexed trees, sqrt decomposition.
find total number of intersections between the different colored arcs.
Let c[x] denote the number of occurrences of color x in the array color.
Suppose you calculate total number of pair of arcs, call it V1.
You also calculate total number of intersections between pair of arcs with same colored arcs, call it V2.
For calculating V2, we will iterate over each color and we will try to find number of intersection for each color.
will be C(n, 4), where C represents binomial coefficient.
You can write a brute force over small value of n and searching the sequence on OEIS will yield you the required formula.
indices will correspond to i, j, k, l when they are sorted in increasing order. So total number of ways of selecting 4 indices/ values from 1 to n is C(n, 4).
The pair of arcs can be in these 3 possible ways.
by the arc going from A to A. Call such number of pair of arcs S1.
AABB. Here the arc going from A to A is completely separate (excluded arcs) from the arc from B to B. Call its value S2.
ABAB. Here the arc going from A to A is intersecting with the arc from B to B. Call its value S3.
Total sum of the 3 values will be V1. ie V1 = S1 + S2 + S3.
We can easily find V1 as V1 is the total number of pairs of arcs between different colors.
(c[x] * (c[x] - 1) / 2 * c[y] * (c[y] - 1) / 2).
So V1 will be sum(c[x] * (c[x] - 1) / 2 * c[y] * (c[y] - 1) / 2, 1 <= x, y <= N && x < y).
The sum could be easily found by maintaining prefix sum of c[y] * (c[y] - 1) / 2.
Please note that in any of pseudo codes, no modulo operation is shown, You should be careful about modulo operation while writing your code.
will be S3 = V1 - S1 - S2.
color x such that c[x] > 300.
So we will count number of arcs which are included by our color x.
Now let us fix some color y. Let us say that we have some places p, p, , p[L] such that col[p*] = y.
the color occurs, then by doing a binary search, we can easily find the number of colors between any range [L, R].
call it first block, between p and p second and so on.
So if we have two points in block l and r, number of ways will be l * (L-r).
but as the number of pairs (l, r) is huge, we can not calculate this number directly, we need to find some way to calculate this quicker.
of points x in the block l as it is simply the number of pairs in then block l.
When l < r, our formula becomes Q[l] * Q[r].
Summing over each pairs, we get the entire formula: sum(Q[l] * Q[r] * l * (L - r) s.t. l < r) + sum(Q[l] * (Q[l] - 1) * l * (L - r)).
We can compute the first part of the formula in linear time. We can rewrite the expression as sum(Q[r] * (L - r) * sum(Q[l] * l s.t. l < r)).
The inner summation sum(Q[l] * l s.t. l < r) can be computed using prefix sum.
1 to i inclusive ([1, i]). Number of intervals containing it are (D[infinity] - D[r]) * D[l] where l and r are its sides.
We can calculate these values similar to above part easily.
// Calculation of S1 when c[x] > 300, c[y] <= 300.
// Note that array positions* is same as described above.
When c[x] and c[y] both are <= 300.
We can simply use scan line algorithm to find the value.
index. We will use binary indexed tree to query and update the value for the current index.
// now we will remove pairs of kind AAAA.
Now we need to count pairs of arcs of kind AABB. Note that we can do this by using a simple dynamic programming algorithm.
Let us define dp* = number of pairs of excluded arcs such that right arc has its right end point at the current index i.
right end point of current/right arc.
(number of arcs from 1 to j k - 1).
Now only thing that we need to find is how to calculate number of arcs from 1 to j.
This part is very easy and can be done by a simple dp.
DP* = DP[i - 1] + cnt of number of indices j such that a[j] = a* (both i and j have same color).
So dp* = DP[j 1 - 1] + DP[j 2 - 1] + . . + DP[j k - 1].
Now we can use binary indexed tree to compute this value faster. Overall complexity of this computation will be O(n log n).
Using previous formulas, we can easily compute S3 which will be our answer of the problem.
The complexity of the algorithm is N * sqrt(N) or 300 * N (as we have fixed value 300 instead of sqrt(N)), which will easily pass in the time limit.
If some of the sections of the editorial is not clear to you, please ask for more explanation, I will add it on tomorrow (tuesday).
Let's just calculate the number of pairs of (strictly) intersecting arcs, together with identical colours. We can split the colours into f "common" ones, with > K occurences each, and "rare" ones, with <= K occurences each and forming a arcs in total. Let's consider intersecting arcs (u,v) and (x,y) such that u < x < v < y.
For pairs of (rare,rare)-colored arcs: move v from left to right, and keep a BIT X such that X[x] denotes the number of points y such that y > v and A[x] = A[y]. It's clear that the number of arcs intersecting (u,v) is X[u+1…v-1]; we can afford to try all such pairs and calculate the answer for them. We also need to update the BIT; notice that before incrementing v, we need to decrement X of all u < v such that A = A[v]; that can also be done in a straightforward way. Time complexity: O(a log N).
For pairs of (common,common)-colored arcs, we'll just iterate v from left to right and store V[a]**: the number of pairs (i,j) such that i < j < v, A* = a, A[j] = b. Also, we'll have arrays L, R, where L[c], R[c] denote the number of y > v such that A[y] = c (c common). The number of intersecting pairs of arcs with given v is now the sum of R[c]*V[A[v]][c] over all common c. Updating L, R is easy; when incrementing v, V[c][A[v]] should be increased by L[c] (for all c). This works in O(Nf) time - we do O(f) operations for each v.
Now, the interesting part comes with pairs of (common,rare)-colored arcs; (rare,common) can be solved in the same way by reversing A. Let's do exactly the same thing as we did with (rare,rare)s, but without instant updating or a BIT - instead, we'll just have an array Y. Instead, we'll keep and update the previously mentioned array R, and a list of common colours that have changed since the last update (which happened when v = v0). If v > v0+L or at least K common colours have changed, then we'll update Y: if A[x < v] was common, then Y[x] = R[A[x]] (in all other cases, it's 0), and afterwards, we'll convert the array into prefix sums.
The number of arcs intersecting (u,v) is now Y[v-1]-Y, but with a correction: plus R[A[max(v0,u+1)…v-1]] (arcs starting after the last update) minus the number of arcs of common colour starting in [u+1…v0-1] and ending in [max(v0,u+1)…v-1] (the ones that were counted in Y[v-1]-Y but aren't actually intersecting (u,v)).
Let's add another array now: prefix sums for all common colours: S[c]*-S[c][j-1] is the number of times colour c appears in A[j…i].
All pairs (u,v) with u >= v0, can be handled separately in O(LN) time - by iterating i from v to v0 and calculating the number of arcs that start between i and v and go over v (by adding R[A*] to that number). Then, we have some more (p) arcs with given v, and for each of them, we just add the same number - sum of R[A[v0…v-1]]; this is also O(LN) overall.
Here comes the asymptotically slow part. For each arc (u,v) (u < v0) and each common colour c that's changed since the last update, subtract (S[v]-S[v0])*(S[v0-1]-S) from the answer. This is the number of common-colored arc endpoints in [v0+1,v] times the number in [u+1,v0-1], which is the second mentioned correction from Y[v-1]-Y. It works in O(aK).
Asymptotically, a = O(NK) and f=O(N/K), plus there are O(N/L) updates in O(N) each in the last part, so we get an algorithm that works in O(NK log N + N^2/K + NK^2 + LN + N^2/L). Okay, this isn't exactly quadratic, but close - for optimal K = O(N^(1/3)) and L=N^(1/2)), it's O(N^(5/3)) with an awful constant. But asymptotics isn't all IRL.
My optimal set of constants was: K=55, L=400 - since the (common,common) part of the algorithm is the fastest and the (common,rare) is the slowest, we're trying to make f large and K,a small, so K should be much less than sqrt(N) for optimal performance. (It turns out that f is up to around 800 in this case, and it's reasonable to expect f a bit smaller than worst-case. The most significant bit, to be precise :D) Also, we can afford larger L.
Still, any K from 20 to 80 passes comfortably. In that sense, the test data are very weak - for K = 20, there could be 5000 common colours, which would cause my algorithm huge memory (and time) issues, but nothing like that happened. It's clear that there were no tests in which many colours would be "moderately common" - with around 50 occurences, for example.
That is not tester's code, that is kevinsogo's(http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/4022433). Please put the proper tester's code.
As per my understanding of the problem, the answers should be 0, 3 & 0 in the cases A, B & C respectively.
problem link of both practice and contest is pointing to other problem. please correctify this.
my code gives 23 arc … i also want to now that my code is correct or not.
I have submitted kevinsogo's code to test and editorialist posted it here, will update it soon.
Got the answer (by writing down all the possible combinations) as 23.
While testing the code, got the answer as 23 again.
But on submission, i got WRONG ANSWER.
So, i request you to please help me to identify what could be the problem.
And when do you plan on doing that?

In striking shift, Trump reverses positions on election loss, rioters and Covid
A day after telling his supporters "we love you," President Donald Trump on Thursday condemned them for violently swarming the Capitol in a statement that also called for a "seamless transition of power."
"America is and must always be a nation of law and order, the demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy," Trump said. "To those who engaged in acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay."
The statement, though filled with numerous falsehoods, marks a stark shift for Trump, who only yesterday was slow to call for the rioters to disperse and had to be persuaded to send reinforcements for U.S. Capitol Police as the building was under siege.
His Thursday remarks were a remarkable about-face from a video he released Wednesday shortly after rioters stormed the building following a Trump rally, disrupting Congress in the process of formally affirming President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. Lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding over the count, were forced to flee. Multiple people died.
He told rioters, "We love you, you're very special."
However, following the violence, Trump has faced growing calls from lawmakers for his impeachment for encouraging supporters to march on the Capitol. There has also been increasing pressure on Pence and other cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office just days before his term ends.
Over the last four years, he has rarely criticized acts of violence or racism by supporters. Trump also offered a rare reflection on the damage that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused Americans. The president also acknowledged his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.
"Now, Congress has certified the results and the new administration will be inaugurated on January, 20, my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation," he said.
This was also a shift from a statement released on Wednesday on Twitter through deputy chief of staff for communications Dan Scavino, in which the president repeated baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.
In that statement, Trump also promised an "orderly transition" of power but also said, "I totally disagree with the outcome of the election."
