Turkey's Erdogan Meets Libya's PM Sarraj in Istanbul
June 4, 2020 MEO Staff Libya Latest News, Turkey Latest News
Countries supporting Haftar biggest obstacle to peace in Libya, Turkish President said Thursday following a meeting with Libya's GNA Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that countries supporting putschist Gen. Khalifa Haftar in Libya are the biggest obstacles that prevent the conflict-ravaged country from reaching peace and a political solution.
Speaking in a joint press conference following his meeting with Libya's internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj in the Turkish capital Ankara ahead of a new round of talks on a potential cease-fire, Erdogan reiterated his call on the international community to take steps against Haftar's brutalities in Libya.
"History will judge those who cause bloodshed and tears in Libya by supporting putschist Haftar," Erdogan said.
Touching upon the cooperation between the two countries, Erdogan also said that Turkey has become the country that has supported Libya the most during the coronavirus pandemic, especially thanks to its multiple medical aid deliveries to the country.
"Turkey and Libya agreed on improving bilateral ties in multiple areas, including in the Eastern Mediterranean," he added.
Speaking after Erdogan, Sarraj thanked Turkey for standing with the Libyan people during this difficult process.
"We have taken all the areas near Tripoli under control as of today, this is a success for all of us. People's will is what matters to us. I call on Haftar militias to leave the Libyan people alone. You (Haftar) have been defeated in Tripoli; just accept it. History will not forgive what you have done to Libya," he added.
Sarraj added that he will not allow negotiations with Haftar in the next stages.
Turkey began providing military support to Sarraj's Government of National Accord (GNA) in November after signing a military cooperation pact alongside a maritime demarcation deal, which gives Ankara exploration rights in the Mediterranean that Greece and others reject.
In recent months, Turkish support in the conflict has pushed back putschist Haftar's eastern-based forces – backed by the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and Egypt – which had been attacking the GNA in Tripoli since April 2019.
The meeting comes a day after the GNA recaptured Tripoli's main airport ahead of what appeared to move toward talks on a truce, after months of gains to oust Haftar forces from much of their foothold in the northwest. The GNA also said Thursday it had regained full control of Tripoli.
On Monday, the U.N. said both sides had agreed to resume cease-fire talks, warning that weapons and fighters flying into Libya in defiance of an arms embargo threatened a major new escalation.
A senior Turkish official said the airport seizure was critical ahead of potential peace talks, and that Turkey would reject any proposal to divide Libya between warring factions.
"Everyone wants to sit at the table without losing territory, but the territory you hold strengthens your positions at the table," the official said, adding Erdogan and Sarraj would discuss both strategy and the situation on the ground.
Sarraj's visit to Ankara comes after a flurry of diplomacy Wednesday as leaders from both sides traveled abroad for meetings hosted by the foreign powers embroiled in the conflict. Sarraj's deputy and foreign minister traveled to Moscow, while Haftar was in Egypt to meet with defense officials.
Ankara, which has sent equipment and military personnel to the help the GNA, has slammed Haftar's supporters for backing a "putschist" and says Sarraj's recent advantage is an opportunity for political talks.
In the mean time, Haftar visits Egypt hours before rival government recaptures Tripoli airport!
Libya's eastern-based military leader Brigadier General Khalifa Haftar visited Cairo yesterday and met with Egypt's deputy defence minister hours before the internationally-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) announced that it had taken over Tripoli International Airport from his forces.
Haftar and Sisi
Cease-fire talks resume
Ahead of the meeting between Erdogan and Sarraj, the U.N. announced that military talks on a cease-fire in Libya resumed Wednesday, welcoming it as a "positive" first step.
The interim U.N. envoy, Stephanie Williams, met with a five-member delegation representing military commander Haftar's forces, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
A meeting with the U.N.-recognized GNA will be held within the coming days, he added.
"Negotiations will continue on the cease-fire agreement and associated arrangements on the basis of the draft presented by the U.N. mission to both delegations on Feb. 23 this year," Dujarric said.
"The U.N. mission encourages the parties to de-escalate, consider a truce to enable improved delivery of humanitarian assistance and to refrain from incitement and create an environment conducive for negotiations and building trust between the parties."
The U.N. mission in Libya had announced on Tuesday that the rival factions had agreed to resume talks after a suspension of more than three months.
All previous attempts at a cease-fire, most recently in January on the occasion of a conference in Berlin, had failed.
In February, when talks were suspended, the rival camps had agreed to negotiate a "permanent cease-fire" under a joint GNA/pro-Haftar military commission.
The U.S. also stated Wednesday that it was waiting to build an "empowered" U.N. mission for Libya, frustrating France and Germany which say the delay in approving an envoy is jeopardizing momentum to end the conflict.
The position of the U.N. envoy for Libya has been vacant for three months, even with calls intensifying for a return to negotiations.
Hanna Serwaa Tetteh, Ghana's former foreign minister, was proposed for the role weeks ago by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres but has not been confirmed, with diplomats pointing to U.S. opposition.
"It's really urgent now. The situation in Libya is really bad," said the French ambassador to the U.N., Nicolas de Riviere, as he went public with concerns Monday alongside his counterpart from Germany.
Christoph Heusgen, the German ambassador, said there needed to be a political rather than military solution.
"By withholding the agreement to a proposal by the secretary-general with regard to the special envoy, those responsible … carry a very heavy responsibility," he said.
Neither envoy explicitly named the U.S.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. also sought Libyan negotiations soon but added: "We want an empowered U.N. mission that can accomplish this goal."
"This will require speedy action to appoint a U.N. special envoy who has the senior diplomatic clout and personal standing to make that engagement meaningful," the State Department official said.
The official said the envoy should "focus exclusively on negotiation" while a special representative of the secretary-general would focus on running the U.N. mission in Libya.
Ghassan Salame of Lebanon quit as the envoy on March 2 citing health reasons.
Guterres first proposed as his successor Ramtane Lamamra, a former Algerian foreign minister, but that choice was vetoed by the U.S., leading the U.N. chief to name Tetteh, who since 2018 has served as the U.N. representative to the African Union.
'Tripoli's citizens now safe from warlord Haftar'
In the same context, Libya's interior minister on Thursday said that liberating Tripoli International Airport from warlord Khalifa Haftar's militias will stop rocket attacks that claimed countless lives of women and children over the past year.
The aggressors on the capital Tripoli deliberately committed war crimes, he said, accusing the militias of planting landmines in the houses of civilians, mosques, and even government buildings.
Forces loyal to Haftar are criminal agents, and "the country won't be at peace unless it gets rid of them," he added.
The media center also released photos of explosives used by Haftar's forces.
This March the Libyan government launched Operation Peace Storm to counter attacks on the capital, and recently regained strategic locations including the Al-Watiya airbase, in a major blow to Haftar's forces.
Earlier this week the UN Support Mission in Libya said Haftar has agreed to the resumption of cease-fire talks.
Libya has been torn by civil war since the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Libya's government was founded in 2015 under a UN-led agreement, but efforts for a long-term political settlement failed due to the military offensive by Haftar's forces.

Facebook has proven again - it has no limits.
Alexander Jakins
Facebook has done it again.
The mega social network shattered Wall Street's estimates for sales, profits, user growth and pretty much everything else you can think of with its second quarter earnings report on Wednesday.
The company now has 1.71 billion monthly active users, adding 60 million users from the previous quarter and growing its user base by 15% from the same quarter a year earlier.
On mobile, where Facebook was once thought to be struggling, the company now has 1.57 billion monthly active users, up 20% year-over-year. And if that's not enough, there are 1.13 billion people using the social network every single day, on average.
The company's strong user growth is remarkable for an Internet company more than a decade old. It also means more eyeballs and more demand from advertisers. The company posted sales of $6.4 billion for the June quarter, up from $4 billion a year earlier.
Not only does Facebook have more users to make money off of - it's also making more money off each of them. Facebook made $3.82 per user on average worldwide in the most recent quarter, up from $2.76 a year earlier. Much of that growth came from users in the U.S.
Facebook's stock, already trading at all-time highs on Wednesday, shot up by more than 5% in after-hours trading.
Facebook now has four products with one billion users or more: Messenger, WhatsApp, Groups and Facebook proper. Facebook has laid the groundwork to make money from the messaging app by encouraging users to communicate more with businesses. There are no limits for Facebook.

Irish woman 'felt like a prisoner' in Oz hotel quarantine armed by police after visiting home with baby
Fionnuala Walsh
Updated: 14:43, 16 Sep 2020
AN Irish woman has said she "felt like a prisoner" when she stayed in Australian hotel room quarantine with her baby for two weeks.
Claire and Darren Kelly have been living in Australia for ten years and Claire recently flew home with their six-month-old Corey so that his mother could meet her grandchild.
Claire and Darren have been living in Australia for the last 10 years
The family has finally been reunited
While she was in Ireland, Darren's mother sadly passed away and he was unable to attend the funeral.
However, when Claire arrived back Down Under after 85 days, she was taken to a hotel on the Gold Coast, which is an hour and 15 minutes outside of Brisbane.
She said you do not get any notice of where you will be quarantined before your flight.
Darren said that the public health measures seem to be keeping people safe, but he was "livid" with their treatment.
HOTEL QUARANTINE
He told Ray Darcy on RTE Radio One: "I wasn't a happy person that night to be honest, a couple of people got an earful from me.
"Not only did they have a 32 hour flight all the way from Ireland to Australia, they now got on a bus with a five month baby, they were shipped down the Gold Coast, another hour and 15 minutes at 11 o'clock at night.
"I was really livid, I have to say."
Darren said that there were police and army members around the hotel and they controlled what came in and out of the rooms.
STRICT PATROLS
He said: "Day one, I rocked up with a couple of things for Claire, additional nappies and some toys for Corey to be able to be entertained in the room.
"There was nobody at the main reception and I got within four feet of the door and I thought I was going to killed.
"Three cops came out of nowhere and they said 'If you go in there, you are staying in there for two weeks' and out popped an army guy who took everything off me."
Any supplies or toys that Darren dropped off were inspected and left by Claire's door in the hotel.
As well as this, Claire and Corey only got 45 minutes of fresh air during their whole fortnight in isolation.
Claire said: "I got out for 45 minutes in two weeks. I got 20 minutes after day four, then I got 15 and then I got a ten.
"It was a covered-in external balcony that was completely covered, it had police tape with two tables that I walked in a figure of eight in a loop, no sunlight.
"I was escorted out by police from the front door and I wore my mask, lovely fresh air through a mask.
"She called me back in after 20 minutes and to be honest I went back up to the room and, bar the first night arriving which was pretty horrendous, I was a mess.
"That was probably the second time I really broke down.
"I actually felt like a prisoner. It was tough."
After their ordeal, Darren said it was "amazing" to see his family again, even though there were some nerves.
He said: "The thing is at eleven weeks old you're only getting used to being a father and dealing with a child but when he comes back and he's nearly six months old he's a totally different child."
Claire said: "I was nervous to see him again, it was like our first date all over again, the blind date except this time we had the baby."
Most read in Irish News
The couple have now decided to cancel their plans to visit home again next year and Claire will miss her sister's wedding.
She said: "With Covid and that experience of mandatory isolation, I couldn't do that again.
"I couldn't be apart from Darren again so we'll never go home separately again."

Suspended Lawyer Cheated Clients
By QNS Editorial Posted on March 27, 2014
Book Fmr. Kew Gdns. Barrister For Larceny
A Kew Gardens attorney who was suspended in 2011 from the practice of law has been arraigned on a nine-count indictment in which he is charged with stealing approximately $206,000 from five clients, it was announced.
Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown identified the defendant as Percy Randall, 58, who prior to his arrest had resided on Hazelwood Drive, in Westbury, L.I., and practiced law at 123-20 82nd Ave. in Kew Gardens until his suspension on Dec. 20, 2011.
Randall was arraigned on Mar. 14 before Acting Queens Supreme Court Justice Barry Kron on a nine-count indictment charging him with second- and third-degree grand larceny and practicing law after being disbarred, suspended, or convicted of a felony. Randall, who faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, was ordered held without bail and to return to court on May 20.
"Despite his suspension, [Randall] allegedly continued to practice law and represent himself as a licensed attorney and thereby break the law," Brown said. "His alleged conduct was not only reprehensible but also a profound betrayal of trust that warrants vigorous prosecution."
Between May 2011 and October 2012, it is alleged, Randall stole approximately $206,000 in amounts ranging from $6,000 to $138,000 from five different individuals who had hired him to represent them in separate real estate matters involving the purchase or sale of homes and, in one case, in a divorce.
The investigation was conducted by Detective Investigator Kevin J. Kehoe of the District Attorney's Detective Bureau, under the supervision of Sgt. Evelyn MacDougall and Lt. Robert J. Burke, and the overall supervision of Chief Investigator Lawrence J. Festa and Deputy Chief Investigator Franco Russo.
Assistant District Attorney Christine Oliveri of the District Attorney's Integrity Bureau is prosecuting the case under the supervision of Assistant District Attorneys James M. Liander, bureau chief, and Carmencita N. Gutierrez, deputy bureau chief, and under the overall supervision of Executive Assistant District Attorney for Investigations Peter A. Crusco and Deputy Executive Assistant District Attorney for Investigations Linda M. Cantoni.
It was noted that an indictment is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

You are here: Home>Crimes and Incidents>Drunkenness>It's obscene!
Hertfordshire Mercury, 21st March 1914
At an occasional court in Welwyn, on Tuesday, Robert Widman (44), a labourer, of Newnham Lane, Goldington, Bedfordshire, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the public highway at Welwyn on the 16th March. He was further charged with an assault on the police at the same time. He pleaded guilty to the first charge but not guilty to the second.
Police Sergeant Wood said that at midnight he heard someone in North Street shouting and swearing, and using very obscene language. He went up to the defendant and could see that he was very much the worse for drink. The Sergeant then asked him to be quiet and get away. The defendant said that he would not and that he wanted to be locked up. He then turned around and went off up the London Road, shouting and using the most filthy language, and woke up all those in the Union.
P.S. Wood followed him, went up to him, told him he would arrest him, and took hold of him. It was at this point that the defendant kicked the Sergeant on the shins and on the hip. Police Constable Baker, hearing the noise, came to the Sergeant's assistance, and the two of them took the defendant to the police station. P.C. Baker corroborated the evidence.
The Magistrates fined the defendant £1 or 7 days' hard labour for being drunk and disorderly, and £1 or a month's hard labour for the assault on the Police.
The defendant chose to go to gaol.

The Holiday Parks Association of New Zealand (HAPNZ) conference and Trade Exhibition at the Distinction Hotel in Rotorua, attracted a record 103 Holiday parks and 340 delegates.
The HAPNZ Conference was opened by Tamaki Maori Experience telling the story of the Realm of Tane, which gives an overview of the history of Maori in New Zealand. GoSee found this quite a moving experience.
HAPNZ President Richard Gunson welcomed delegates and guests to a conference with the Theme of Delivering Opportunities.
The HAPNZ president emphasised the advantage of the opportunities available to Holiday Parks to improve their marketing dollar including Park Management Systems and Real Time booking. He encourage attendees to take advantage of the many trade exhibitions that are at conference who can help them realize these opportunites within their own Holiday Parks.
Russel Norman, co-leader of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand spoke about the great Kiwi Holiday, camping at the river or beach, dive bombing into crisp clear water and then retiring to the camp for cold drinks and barbecue.
Holiday Parks are a integral part of keeping this dream holiday alive and providing a tangible taste of the authentic kiwi holiday, he said.
The camping holiday is where you meet people you wouldnt meet in normal day-to-day life. The guy who wears overalls to work camps next door to the guy who wears an suit and tie to work and lifelong friendships develop around the summer camping holiday building sense of community across New Zealand.
New Zealand needs a cohesive strategy that builds on the clean green image. 100 per cent Pure isnt 100 per cent accurate, but tourists will forgive the areas that dont meet that expectation provided we identify and address the areas of concern, rather than try and hide them away, he said. Holiday parks play an important part in this with tourist becoming more eco-savvy and wanting more options.
Challenges to the 100 per cent Pure image are possible of mining Conservation areas, waterways under threat and coastal development.
Research shows that tourists who stay in holiday parks stay longer in NZ and this is better for offsetting carbon credits.
National Government has recently devoted $30mill toward high value visitors. He questioned if this money was going to the right sector as research shows that independent travelers spend more money and stay longer than the (accepted) high value tourist.
Manaakitanga and Kaitiakitanga play an important role in our tourism experience and contribute towards our clean green image, he said.
We need to encourage business to work with the environment not against it and reward business that achieves this, Russel Norman said.
Dr Russel Norman has been involved with politics all of his adult life, working as a policy researcher, assistant to Green Members of Parliament, campaign manager for the Green Party, Co-Leader outside Parliament and most recently as a Green MP since mid-2008. He says that his academic background - he has a doctorate in politics - gives him an analytical approach, which is helpful.
Winners of this year's HAPNZ awards were announced at the annual conference in Rotorua last week, and Family Parks had a lot to be proud of.
Steve Julie Fraser from North South Holiday Park in Christchurch, won the prestigious AA Spirit of Hospitality Award.
This award recognises excellence in customer service and reflects the importance that the holiday park sector places on 'Manaakitanga' and providing only the best for their guests.
Family Parks finalists included - Dave and Kay Roche from Bowentown Beach Holiday Park, Grant and Sheree Webster from Hot Water Beach Holiday Park, and Chris and Barbara Faulls from Smiths Farm Holiday Park. Of the six finalists in this category, four were Family Parks.
Adrian and Linda Pine from Fox Glacier Holiday Park, took home the Jasons SMART Business Award. This award recognises the effort that Linda and Adrian have put into developing the range of walking products in their area, encouraging their visitors to stay longer.
Overall, the conference was a huge success, and it is fantastic to see the hard work and dedication of our park members being recognised, Family Parks Acting CEO Robyne Wilson said today.

KANO, Nigeria - Islamic police in northern Nigeria's main city of Kano destroyed about 240,000 bottles of beer seized from supply vehicles and minority Christian shop owners.
KANO, Nigeria � Islamic police in northern Nigeria�s main city of Kano destroyed about 240,000 bottles of beer seized from supply vehicles and minority Christian shop owners.
Alcohol is banned under Islamic law in Kano and several other mostly Muslim northern states. It is consumed in some areas, especially the Sabon Gari district housing mostly Christian ethnic Igbo traders from the southeast.
�We thank God that our command has successfully destroyed about 244,151 bottles of beer of different sorts. We hope (this) will help restore the tarnished image of Kano,� said Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, head of the Hisbah uniformed Islamic squad at the site where a truck crushed the bottles yesterday at the city�s edge.
Africa�s most-populous nation and second-biggest economy is divided roughly into a largely Muslim north and Christian south, but with sizable minorities living in both regions.
It is home to more Muslims than any other country in sub-Saharan Africa, but it is also a major target market for big brewers such as Heineken and Diageo. The country is now the world�s second-biggest consumer of Guinness.

Accept Concert Review
Posted on February 21, 2011 by Fat Peter in Uncategorized // 0 Comments
ACCEPT GIVE POLISH FANS A MIX OF THE OLD AND THE NEW
Show Date: February 5, 2011
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Venue: Club Stodola
Reviewer: Fat Peter
Band Websites: www.acceptworldwide.com – www.myspace.com/accepttheband
Some bands are never the same after replacing the original singer — or the one that everybody is acquainted with. Motley Crue lost a lot of their fan base when they decided to ditch Vince Neil in the early '90s… nobody really gets Johnny Solinger as the lead singer in Skid Row, even though he has been with them longer than Sebastian Bach was… and even the mighty Van Halen got a lot of shit for replacing David Lee Roth with Sammy Hagar back in the day.
On the other hand, some bands fare very well — and one of these bands is Accept. The recently reunited German rockers even managed to release one of their best albums ever with new singer Mark Tornillo in 2010, called 'Blood Of The Nations', which got a lot of great reviews worldwide including right here on Sleaze Roxx. The tour Accept are on right now is in support of this new release.
This show was a treat for Polish fans, as we have not seen Accept since the '80s when they still toured with original singer Udo Dirkschneider. Interestingly enough, Dirkschneider visits Polish stages a lot, so seeing these guys play the songs he performed before seemed almost like watching a cover band. But Accept proved this idea very wrong by putting on one of the best rock gigs that has graced the Warsaw stage.
Accept hit the stage pretty early and went through the full set, comprised of both old and new numbers. Some bands, who had their best times in years gone by, tend to focus immensely on their hit material even though it might be largely out of date. And though this trend is changing, Accept are no way in hell resorting only to their old hits. Their set list cannot lack staples like "Metal Heart" or "Balls To The Wall", but this band tries really hard to mix the old with their latest recordings. Because of this a lot of the music played during this gig was from their newest offering 'Blood Of The Nations', as Mark Tornillo really showed everybody that he should be in no way ashamed to fill Udo's boots. The singer proved himself to be a skilled and charismatic frontman and didn't have any problems with the material — both the new songs and the Udo classics alike.
All in all Accept delivered a very well executed gig. One which pleased the audience to the point that they will surely return to see the band at their next Polish gig… if such a thing happens in the future.

(Solved) Write a short note on confrontational private politics.
Write a short note on confrontational private politics.
Confrontational campaigns typically focus on a social issue such as the emissions of toxic substances in a particular region, workers' rights in factories in developing countries supplying developed countries, the rights of indigenous peoples in mining areas, animal rights, conflict minerals, rainforest conservation, or predatory lending. The lines of business of a firm determine the scope of the social pressure the firm could face. A mining company may face social pressure over conflict minerals, rainforest conservation, the rights of indigenous peoples, and toxic emissions.
Activists organize corporate and market campaigns to advance the issues on their agendas, and a frequent component of a campaign is a boycott. Some boycotts are more symbolic than real, but many attract media and public attention. There is considerable debate over the effect of boycotts on a firm. However, most firms are concerned about the possibility of a boycott not only because of possible lost sales but also because the public attention, frequently under the scrutiny of the media, could harm their brands as well as their reputations and public images.
The effectiveness of private politics social pressure depends on a variety of factors, four of which are identified here. The first is the social value achieved by causing a potential target to change its practices, as in the mitigation of a negative externality or improvement in the working conditions in suppliers' factories in developing countries. The second is how tough the potential target is, where toughness depends on the cost of changing its practices. The third is how vulnerable a potential target is, where vulnerability can depend on brand equity or reputation that could be harmed by a campaign. The fourth is the extent to which potential targets take into account the social value of a change in their practices when making their decisions; that is, the extent to which they accept social responsibilities. The objective of confrontation is to shine the spotlight of public attention on a firm with the hope that social pressure will be generated and cause the firm to change its practices.

Peterson Perspectives
Steady as It Goes at the Fed
Joseph E. Gagnon says the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on November 2 suggests continued economic growth and a likely small interest rate increase in December.

Unedited transcript
Steven Weisman: Hello. This is Steve Weisman of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. I'm here today, November 2nd, with Joe Gagnon of the Peterson Institute to talk about the announcement by the Federal Open Market Committee saying that the economy continues to strengthen. But, of course, all these statements are read like tea leaves. And Joe, what are the tea leaves telling us here?
Joseph Gagnon: Well, they're telling us very little news. No news today. The statement was exactly as expected. The Committee said that the economy is evolving pretty much as they had expected in their last meeting in September. And most people are expecting they will make a move next month in December. But they said they weren't quite there yet.
Steven Weisman: A move to do what?
Joseph Gagnon: Move to raise rates. And the Committee said they were not quite ready to move rates at this time, but that things seemed to be moving in that direction. And everyone expects December will be the time.
Steven Weisman: What would be your expectation for the amount of the increase; from what to what?
Joseph Gagnon: I think in December they'll raise their target from 0.5 percent interest rate to 0.75, a quarter of a percentage point increase in December.
Steven Weisman: And what does that mean that they're confident that the economy is growing fast enough to accommodate that even minor rate increase?
Joseph Gagnon: Yes.
Steven Weisman: And what did we learn today about how they view the employment situation in the United States?
Joseph Gagnon: I think they're pretty happy with it. The unemployment rate is about where they want it to be. Interestingly, there's actually more jobs being created every month still than we could sustain in the long run. There's actually more jobs being created every month than there are new working-age people in the country.
What's going on? Well, a lot of people who are out of the labor force who haven't been looking for jobs have started looking for jobs again. They've started to be counted as in the labor force. And so, the labor force is growing allowing them to take these new jobs. That cannot continue forever. But they're happy with what it's doing. And it's reducing this underemployment that we've had for a while.
Steven Weisman: I hate to ask a dumb question, but sometimes those are the most fun. Why can't it go on forever that we create more jobs than there are people to fill them? What's so bad about that?
Joseph Gagnon: Well, I mean there's nothing bad about having people taking more jobs. But, obviously, we can't have more people working than we have people.
Steven Weisman: So I mean I guess what I'm really asking is then inflation becomes a danger or what?
Joseph Gagnon: The worry would be that if there were lots of job vacancies that couldn't be filled. Then businesses were desperate to fill them because they had so much business. They might start raising their prices more because if they can't if they can't produce more goods to sell to you, they'll try to raise the prices since people are banging down their doors to buy their stuff. So that would be a nice problem to have given where we've been for the past few years. But ultimately, people are not happy when we have too much inflation.
Steven Weisman: Right. So the economy is growing at this steady rate positive direction. How long can that last? Can that last for another year, two years, three years?
Joseph Gagnon: Well, the economy can grow forever as long as we have some growth in the population and we have some increase in our technology, ability to produce things, both of which have slowed. But they're not below zero and we do have some improvements and some new workers. So that can go on forever.
Steven Weisman: I guess people are always worried about the next recession. So that's why I'm asking. Can we be relaxed about that? That's not a dumb question, but it's a tricky one.
Joseph Gagnon: It's a tricky question because economists are very bad at predicting recessions. We don't have anyone who's got a perfect track record in predicting recessions. And most of us have a bad record. They say about 20 percent. We say about a 20 percent chance that there could be recession next year most of the time. And we usually don't see them coming.
So, yes, we should worry about a recession. But I don't see any particular reason. I don't see any obvious thing that you might worry about it. And in the past, sometimes there have been such obvious things like if inflation is very high and the Fed might want to fight it or if the housing bubble or if the housing prices are over-inflated and they're going to come down and people won't be able to pay off their mortgages that could cause you know.
Steven Weisman: Sure.
Joseph Gagnon: So we don't see things like that. But that doesn't mean that there's not something out there. I think the international things would be the big risk for us.
Steven Weisman: Such as crisis in Europe or China.
Joseph Gagnon: China. I think a meltdown in China when they stop buying stuff or in Europe or anywhere really.
Steven Weisman: Well, on that uncertain, but perhaps hopeful note, thank you very much, Joe
Joseph Gagnon: You're welcome.


An incident with one policeman in Toledo, Ohio escalated over the weekend and was caught on film in Washington Township, Lucas County. Already chaotic, the scene gets more heated as more angry words and swearing are interchanged; and finally, after a few minutes, other bystanders start appearing.
According to the description, the couple in question, who are flat face forward on the road with their hands behind their backs in cuffs, wound up there after asking the officer to move his car because it was blocking their driveway. He had apparently parked there while ticketing another person.
"This is not Toledo – Buddy!" and "Shut-up!" can be heard from the officer pointing a weapon at their heads. According to a witness calling for backup, it looked like he was about to taze one of them.
Previously, the recorder suggests "call a different cop." When they do reach Toledo police to "help an officer in distress," this frustrates the officer because he keeps saying it's not Toledo – the address given is in Toledo. Washington Township is in and around Toledo and has a Toledo address – if Toledo police cannot be called in this instance, who can? Apparently, more were on the way.
He puts the boy's hands behind his back and says, "Who are you?" "I'm his son." He points in his face and says, "When the police tell you not to do something – that's who you listen to! … I told you to get out of the truck!" He mentions a couple of times, "You do not approach a police officer…" but trails off.
The Washington Township Police Department, in partnership with our community, is dedicated to preserving the peace and quality of life in Washington Township.
The couple recording didn't seem too affected, however, and placed the video in YouTube's comedy category. If this were you and your family – how would you best handle the situation?
A call to the police station returned no response. A currently unanswered email to the station for more information is pending – updates will be provided if there is a response.

Q: Stability of an equilibrium point I would like to determine the stability of equilibrium point $x=0$ of the differential equation $$\frac{dx}{dt}=x-\sqrt{x}, \\ x(t) > 0$$
By the standard testing procedure, I calculated $f'(x)$ as $1-\frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Plugging $x=0$ into the $f'(x)$ gives $f'(0)=1>0$. Then we have $x=0$ is unstable.
However, when I plot the slope field of the DE.

I found that the trajectories are actually approaching $x=0$. Why?

A: You do not need to calculate $f'(t)$, you already have this expression given by the differential equation. Since, this system is time invariant, you just need to calculate $x-\sqrt{x}=0$, which has solutions at $1$ and $0$, as you can see from your plot.

Because $x-\sqrt x$ will be negative between $0$ and $1$, and positive afterwards, it follows that the trajectories will approach zero from above and diverge away from one. This is again confirmed by your plot.

You can plot $x-\sqrt x$ and see what values the derivative is going to take. If it is negative, the derivative will be negative and so the trajectories will be directed downward, it it is positive, they will be going upward. At the zeroes of this function, you will have the equilibrium points, and by looking at the plot's negative and positive values, you can tell the nature of the trajectories.

Locker Room Diaries #3
by Kathy Lyons
Entangled Brazen
Featuring: Gia Kubic; Connor Hart
Kindle: B07HF1MRM4
"It all started with a kiss and a wink but where does it end up?"
Hard And Fast
Kathy Lyons
Reviewed by Monique Daoust
Romance Sports | Romance Contemporary
Star catcher Connor Hart's knees are bothering him again. At twenty-seven, he knows he still has a few good years, as long as those knees hold up. Connor hates reporters, and publicity of any kind, even his publicist, his older sister Sophia, can't convince him of the necessary evil. So when a drunken kiss happens between team publicist Gia Kubic and Connor, Sophia is wary of Gia. Connor had managed to resist his attraction to Gia for some time, but when Gia comes up with a publicity stunt that no one can resist, even Connor, one kiss then leads to another and more.
The Indianapolis Bobcats are going into the last stretch with HARD AND FAST, and Kathy Lyons is on a winning streak. This third book in the fantastic Locker Room Diaries series shines just as much as the previous ones, and for those unfortunate who have not read the other installments, HARD AND FAST stands perfectly on its own. There is a bit more baseball in this book, but nothing to deter non-sports fans, as Ms. Lyons delves into what I could almost call psychological warfare on a personal level. Connor's backstory is positively fascinating, and the conflict that occurs in HARD AND FAST is one I had never seen before; it was utterly realistic and somewhat unnerving. Connor is a lovely man, but facing a crushing dilemma, which nearly tears him apart. I loved Gia for her honesty in declaring where she stands, and she behaves in a way that is seldom seen for a romance novel heroine. She's confident in her professional abilities, but not so secure in her personal life; still, she goes right ahead and tells Connor where she stands, and what she wants and hopes of their interactions.
HARD AND FAST has some stellar dialogues: between Connor and the players, with his sisters, and of course with Gia. Ms. Lyons' prose is, at times, wonderfully lyrical -- so much so that I highlighted some sublime passages while reading. You can almost sense the sparks fly between Connor and Gia, and the sex scenes are intense, blazing with unbridled passion, and moving at the same time because of some intelligent dialogue that occurs, particularly in one pivotal scene; I also loved Gia's way of thinking of erudite insults. Ms. Lyons' perceptive insights on the fragile reality of an athlete's physical condition, where an injury can cut short a lucrative career, are utterly fascinating. The perils of family life and romantic relationships mixed with a sports star's professional life are treated very realistically, and boy, it's not easy! I loved that the conflicts happened organically, they were difficult to navigate, and they were expertly handled by the author. Kathy Lyons demonstrates once again that steamy contemporary romance needn't be bland, and that what makes a truly satisfying happily ever after doesn't come from miscommunication and misunderstandings but through clever plotting. Another hit for Kathy Lyons!
Learn more about Hard And Fast
Pro veteran catcher Connor Hart has his hands full keeping the hot-blooded rookies on his team focused on the ultimate prize—the World Series. Too bad he can't seem to concentrate on the game himself. Because every time publicist Gia Kubic walks out on the field, his attention goes AWOL, and all he can think about is a New Years' Eve kiss that should have gone much further…
As the team publicist, it's Gia's job to make heartthrobs out of every member of the team, but even she can't figure out how to make America's hottest catcher—and her not-so-secret fantasy—smile for the cameras. She's fighting him, and her libido, at every turn.
Neither of them seems capable of saying no forever. But Connor has a secret, and he knows if he lets the sexy publicist get too close, his whole world could come crashing down...
Back home.
I inhaled the peculiar scent of male sweat and deodorized carpet that was the Bobcat home stadium. It was three days after the All-Star Game. We'd won, by the way, and my knees weren't any worse for wear. Which meant now the team could get serious about the sport we all loved without the media distraction. The only thing looming was the trading deadline, but that was a couple weeks away. Plenty of time for me to get the Bobcats focused on winning the pennant, and I was eager to get to it.
I needed a pennant before my knees completely crapped out on me.
But just before I made it to the privacy of the locker room, a cheerful brunette stepped in front of me—Gia Kubic looking fierce, which on her tiny frame looked adorable.
"Connor, you're looking happy this morning." It was the opening salvo in her perky war, and I wasn't having any of it.
"Because I was about to go bond with my team. Practice is in thirty minutes." I started to go around her, but she slipped right in front of me again. Impressive how she did that while teetering in those heels.
"I'm part of your team," she said, smiling. "Come bond with me for a few minutes."
Not a chance. Not with her ginger spice scent teasing my nostrils. Little Connor was joining her in the perky department, and I had no desire to go down that road. "Sorry. Baseball stuff to do." I was going to throw the ball around a bit before the practice started. That was my plan, in any case.
Then she set her hand on my arm. "Sounds good to me," she said, her ever-present smile in place.
I glared at her hand because it was making my muscles clench. There was nothing lovelier than a woman's hand. It heated just the right amount. It gave just enough pressure without being firm. And I could throw it off, whenever I wanted. Apparently, I didn't want to, so I just glared at it until she pulled it back. And I—stupid ass that I was—regretted the loss. And then she kept talking.
"I've been on the phone with your agent all morning."
"Charlie? Why?"
"Because he wants me to do more to promote you." She rolled her eyes as if that were something she had to deal with every day.
"I'm sorry I skipped out on those interviews. Thank you for covering for me. Rob did a good job with the extra attention."
She blinked in surprise and then flashed a mega-watt smile. "Thank you. It helped that he won the Home Run Derby." Apparently she hadn't expected anyone to appreciate how well she'd handled damage control after I'd bailed. But I'd noticed, and I'd been very grateful to have gotten back early enough to spend time with my younger sister, Cassie, before the regular season games started up again. Seeing that she was okay had allowed me to come back to work today, ready to focus.
"Don't worry about Charlie."
"He wants me to make you into a media darling," she huffed, the first sign that the perkiness was slipping.
"I'll talk to him—" I offered, but she waved it off.
"And Joe DeLuce agrees. He'd like publicity to spend some time focusing on the Bobcats' more stable, mature players."
Jesus, I was only twenty-seven! Hardly old enough to be talked about in those terms. "What happened to Jake and Ellie?"
Her jaw tightened, and I saw that there was trouble in that fake paradise.
I grimaced. "I'll talk to Jake."
Her eyes widened. No doubt she remembered the last time I'd "talked" to Jake—I'd nearly put him through a wall.
"No, no! Whatever is going on with them is their business. We don't need it in the media."
Which is exactly what I thought about my life. Damn it, I just wanted to play baseball. I had enough balls in the air. I didn't need the complication of publicity, but she just kept talking.
"So here's your choice. I could pick the promotion I want you to do and get Joe to sign off on it."
"In which case, I'd have no say in the matter."
She grinned as if I were an especially perceptive student. "Or you can be part of the discussion. Right now. With me."
I stared at her. I think I might have growled low in my throat. She just met my displeasure with determined cheer.
"The more time we stand in the hall trying to stare each other down, the less input you'll have into your own future."
"I pick my future," I said. "Joe can't force me to do any bullshit I don't like."
She wrinkled her nose and looked up at the ceiling as if she was trying to remember something. "Very true. But as I recall, your contract requires you to participate in all reasonable promotion."
She was right. "I think our definitions of reasonable are vastly different."
"Probably," she said with a laugh. The sound teased through my chest. "You won't know unless you join me in my office," she quipped, then she stepped around me and walked down the hall.
Right now, I still had a choice. I could go into the locker room and get on with the business of winning the pennant, or I could turn around and head into that infuriating woman's office to fight over publicity bullshit. I knew what I wanted to do—play baseball. And not think about how I felt her laugh on a visceral level. Or notice that her ginger spice scent lingered long after she'd left. Regardless, my feet were already following her down to her office.

I have thought long and hard about games that would be good to take on the road, and this is my wish list.

Advances in technology have ensured that we are always on call, but whether that improves the quality of our lives is somewhat debatable. There now seems to be a whole new set of phrases describing our relationship with mobile phones.
Young Japanese kids are members of the mǔ zhǐ zú (拇指) or "thumb tribe" too: particularly the ones whose two-digit tapping never stops. Another Japanese term used is belonging to oyayubizoku (拇指族) – the "clan of the thumbs" – it was first coined to describe teenagers better at text messaging than talking.
The art of snubbing people by looking at your phone, even while you're buying a cup of coffee or sitting together at a table, is known as "phubbing". Short for "phone snubbing" the word was suddenly appeared in 2012 by the ad agency McCann Melbourne as part of a dictionary promotion, which spawned a global "stop phubbing" campaign.
And finally is the portmanteau word "smombie", short for "smartphone zombie" and used to describe a mindlessly strolling pedestrian whose attention is consumed by their device.
In a sense, none of this is new. Terms of technological disapproval, conjured from hyperbolic hopes and fears, are as old as electronic communications. When the telephone first arrived in American homes in the late 19th Century, it provoked both elation and despair.
For some, world peace was only a decade of international telephony away. For others, new forms of interaction meant new opportunities for addiction, time wasting and idle chat. Once again, new words needed to be found, and it was to the medical term "mania" that disconcerted commentators turned.
Next PostTo be happy as a sandboy….


A mind which is not stable enough to sustain the various internal and external forces is always cluttered. It is necessary to be strong and possess a stability in all situations. I believe in 'sama chitta' at all times. A strong, beautiful mind is free from all vices and clutters. It does not get perturbed very easily. Life is a game of challenges. A person who has faced multiple challenges in life has a strong emotional intelligence. He knows very well how to come out of every situation that is trying and hard.
As going gets tough, the tough get going. Life does not offer all good things on a silver platter, but whatever it offers we should know how to make it good. Turn every change into nuggets for improvisation. It is in our hands how to make a bad situation turn a good opportunity for us. Tough people do not brood over their mistakes for a long time. They learn from their mistakes and keep them at a safe distance. After all to err is human.
Tough people are self aware. They don't compare themselves to others. They work on themselves and only compare as to what they were yesterday and what they are today. The praises and criticisms do not touch them, yet they are free to accept any opinion that are productive.
Everybody is here to contribute. Tough people know this very well. They don't insult or look down upon anybody instead they know how to handle toxic people and 'know it all' types. They keep a check on their feelings when they are dealing with such people. They don't get agitated or frustrated but take it with a pinch of salt.

Sufism is an only way forward for Peace in Kashmir
admin Send an email June 22, 2022
Sheikh Minhaj
The valley of Kashmir is world-renowned for its snow-clad mountain peaks orchards of apples and almonds, lush green pastures and meadows, Chinar trees, valleys of Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg, magnificent lakes, springs, and essential water bodies like Jhelum, Indus and Chenab, Mughal Gardens, handicrafts and tourism and also elegant Pashmina shawls. But it is equally well-known for being the "Pir Waer" meaning the "Alcove of Sufis and Saints.
Mir Syed Ali Hamadani came all the way from Hamadan, a province of then Iran. He was divinely guided and assisted, and was hence able to revert a large population of Kashmir valley to the religion of Islam by way of love and peace. He awarded a booklet to the people of Kashmir " Awrad-e Fatiyyah" This unique Arabic booklet is itself a piece of the identity of Mir Syed Ali Hamadani, popular in Kashmir as Amir e Kabeer and Shah i Hamadan. The "Tawheed" described in Awrad e Fatiyyah is the manifestation of Islamic "tawheed" simply and effectively so that the common masses of Kashmir would understand it and follow accordingly. It has been translated into many languages including Kashmiri. The pious script includes, "O' Allah! You are the author of Peace, and from You springs Peace, and towards you is Peace. Keep me, my Lord, in Peace and grant me entrance in the Abode of Peace. Glory to Thee my Lord and Exalted are Thou, The Lord of Majesty and Bounty". Which clearly depicts peace is the only key to a successful life here and there in the eternal world.
Sufis have left a deep and remarkable impression on the society of Kashmir. Immediately after their arrival in the valley, they engaged themselves for the betterment of people irrespective of religion. They influenced people through their morals, pure thoughts, kindness, and humanistic approach. People of Silsila were men of intellect, creative mind, administrators, scholars, medical practitioners, artisans, economists, etc. The earned groups Called land tillers and artisans were influenced by them. Learning has been defined by them as the highest attainment of humanity, a way leading to right conduct and cultivation of virtue. On the whole Qadriya Sufis succeeded in bringing marvelous change in the thought and life of all people whether people of faith or others. In general, they made people understand the relation between God and man. Concept of humanism developed in the valley of Kashmir. Their teachings and writings proved to be a great source of inspiration not only to rulers but also to the subsequent generations. They were having no lust or power and had not indulged in state politics. Even at present, their growing influence is visible in Kashmiri society.
The Sufi Saints traveled thousands of miles and left their fortune and properties only for the cause to connect people with one another so that peace can be imposed in Kashmir. Kashmiriyat is only on record and resonating around the corners just because of the foundation of humanity and hospitality laid by the Sufi Saints in Kashmir.
Unfortunately radicalism, due to its devastating impact, has become the most visible part of the proxy war in Kashmir, but cross-border strategists have realized that extremism and radicalism will not suffice to dislodge the elected governments in J&K or bring the administration to a grinding halt. The opponent countries have, therefore, sponsored a new front in Kashmir in the last few years. It has inducted a large number of extremists who have been spreading the extremist Islamist creed across Kashmir, calling on Kashmiri Muslims to give up their Sufi culture and return to "true" Islam. They now claim to have over a million followers in Kashmir.
The Script of Islam clearly pens down, that whosoever kills a person irrespective of the religion, creed, caste, or color, it shall be as if he has killed whole mankind. But nowadays we are witnessing innocent killings from day to day out just because radicalism is growing over Sufism.
The dire need of an hour is to revive Sufism; Sufism is the only way forward for the imposition of long-lasting peace in Kashmir.

When Ursula Tyrwhitt was Gladstone's Lover
by Bernie Cullen
Dear Gwen,
Today's vase holds mustard-yellow chrysanthemums,
yesterday's were rainbow-paper anemones.
This evening we spoke about the economy,
I hold our balance in orchid asymmetry.
His hands, after a day deep in stately missions,
turn our passion, the blue-deep of delphiniums.
He scribes such love scenes I'm losing my faculties,
his ink, tattooed on my skin from world currencies.
He goes to his day job, meets with the ministers,
I paint scent of petals; I am oblivious.
His breath, still, in the hollow of my clavicle.
Door closed, I find the trumpet of a daffodil,
I feed his adultery to the bees.
(Ursula Tyrwhitt was one of the Slade women painters, a friend of Gwen John, she specialised in flower painting.)

Joint runner-up in The Poetry Society's Stanza Poetry Competition 2019 on the theme of 'Lies', judged by Geraldine Clarkson.
Geraldine: "A brilliant and brio-full epistolary poem, fascinating for its content, and skilfully and imaginatively realised – the rhymes are delicious! (My favourite = 'clavicle/daffodil')."
Bernie: "The inspiration for this poem came from my desire to understand people who don't get on in any other sphere, but have incredibly strong sexual attraction. I was also very interested in The Slade women painters, particularly the flower painters, and their involvement in modernity; they sometimes took a difficult stand to follow their career rather than marriage. In terms of my poetic writing development, this was an attempt to explore the use of forms, in this case, syllabics, and to write from a voice other than my own. It worked well for me and it's a place I will return to."

The 10 Highest Mountains In British Columbia
Located on the border between British Columbia and Alaska, Mount Fairweather is the tallest peak of British Columbia.
Mount Waddington is the tallest peak situated entirely within the province of British Columbia.
British Columbia is a Canadian province that is located to the west of the country and has an extensive coast along the Pacific Ocean. The province abounds in natural resources and has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. It also hosts some of Canada's highest mountains. About 75% of the area of British Columbia is mountainous in nature and 60% of the area is covered by forests. Here is a list of the tallest mountains in British Columbia:
1. Mount Fairweather
The 4671 m tall Mount Fairweather is British Columbia's highest peak. It is a coastal mountain that is just 20 km to the east of the Pacific coast of Canada. The mountain lies on the border between Alaska, US and British Columbia, Canada. The mountain, named by Captain James Cook, was first summited in 1931. It is part of the Fairweather Range. Unlike its name, the mountain experiences poor weather conditions with high precipitation of snow and below freezing temperatures.
2. Mount Waddington
Part of the Waddington Range, Mount Waddington is British Columbia's second tallest peak and the first tallest one in the province that lies entirely within the provincial boundary. It is 4,019 m tall and is located in the remote heart of the Pacific Ranges. The mountain offers great challenges to climbers due to the relatively low accessibility, rugged terrain, and harsh weather conditions. The mountain and its surroundings, however, have surreal landscapes which attract adventurers despite the great challenges. The first climb to the top of Mount Waddington was recorded in 1936. The area is subjected to extreme and unpredictable weather conditions with high levels of precipitation.
3. Mount Robson
The 3,954 m tall Mount Robson is the third tallest mountain in British Columbia and the second tallest one to be entirely in the province. It is also the most prominent peak in the Rockies of North America. It has a prominence of 2,829 m. Mount Robson has a great vertical relief and its north face remains covered in massive glaciers. The mountain is not easy to climb from any of the known routes but poses challenges to even elite climbers. The first successful ascent to the top of the mountain was made in 1936.
4. Mount Root
Located on the border between Canada's British Columbia and US's Alaska, Mount Root is British Columbia's fourth highest mountain. Its summit is at an elevation of 3,928 m. The mountain belongs to the Fairweather Range. The Margerie Glacier is located in Mount Root. The mountain was first summited in 1977. Mount Root has been named after diplomat Elihu Root who played an important role in resolving a border issue between Canada and the US.
5. Mount Tiedemann
The fifth tallest mountain in British Columbia is the 3,838m high Mount Tiedemann. The Waddington Range of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains is the parent range of this mountain. The topographic prominence of this mountain is 848 m. Mount Tiedemann was first summited in 1939.
