Why invest in North Cyprus
North Cyprus Property Investments
Since 2004 investment in property in Northern Cyprus has surged ahead with real estate buyers aware that many types of property for sale in TRNC have internationally recognised title deeds. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is the Turkish Cypriot controlled area which makes up the northern third of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus and which is divided from the rest of Cyprus by the UN controlled buffer zone or 'green line'.
The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus was formed as an area of safety for the Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of the island following the Greek mainland attempt to size control of the government of Cyprus back in 1974. Since 1974 the northern third of the island has suffered embargos and been annexed politically from the rest of the world; but since 2004 all that has slowly begun to change and the world is awakening once more to the stunning beauty and wealth of opportunity available in Northern Cyprus.
Cyprus was once a British colony and in recent history it was inhabited mainly by Greek and Turkish Cypriots but also by a number of British citizens as well. In 1960 Britain gave Cyprus its independence but retained two sovereign bases in the country. In 1963 violence began to erupt between the majority Greek Cypriots and the minority Turkish Cypriots. Over time this violence escalated and the UN peacekeepers were called in, they established a green line between certain enclaves housing Turkish Cypriots - who fled into the enclaves as they feared for their safety - and the Greek Cypriots.
The sorry state of affairs continued with violence and threat escalating on both sides until 1974 when a Greek sponsored coup in Cyprus attempted to join the island with the Greek mainland. Turkey, fearing for the safety of its people launched a swift and effective military operation which swept Greek Cypriots out of the northern third of Cyprus and secured this land for its Cypriot people. Because Turkey did not wait for UN backing for its military operation the Greek sponsored coup was quickly forgotten about and instead, Northern Cyprus was politically annexed and the people of the island suffered embargos up until 2004.
In 2004 as Cyprus was aligned for EU entry the UN finally realized that they had to attempt to reunite the island as never before had a divided nation entered the EU. The UN brokered peace talks between both sides of the island and these resulted in the development of the Annan Plan to which both sides were asked to agree upon. Among many other issues, the Plan would put an end to the land disputes that exist in Cyprus and about which I'm sure you've read.
The land disputes exist where Turkish Cypriot land in south Cyprus was nationalised by the government of the Republic of Cyprus following 1974 and given to displaced Greek Cypriots from the northern third of the island. And of course it also exists the other way where former Greek Cypriot land in Northern Cyprus was nationalised by the TRNC government and given to Turkish Cypriots displaced from the south.
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the Republic of (South) Cyprus took the terms of the Annan Plan to their people for a vote of confidence. Unfortunately only the Turkish Cypriots voted in favour of the plan for peace. Further unfortunate events began to unfold as it became clear that the progress of Cyprus towards EU accession had gone too far to stop it and so only the Republic of Cyprus was able to join the EU in 2004 meaning that a divided nation did indeed join the European Union. Oddly though, all Cypriots - whether Greek or Turkish - now have the right to an EU passport and the whole of Cyprus has begun to benefit from the EU effect!
The land disputes continue but despite what you may have read not all land and property in Northern Cyprus is in dispute - far from it in fact! Only about 17% of the land in North Cyprus was formerly owned by Greek Cypriots are there's an abundance of land and property for sale in North Cyprus with internationally recognised title deeds.
In terms of the attractions of Northern Cyprus - well they are manifold! For example the prices of land and property for sale in Northern Cyprus are up to 5 times cheaper than on the south. Since 2004 the UN and US have begun ploughing significant money into the north to reward its people for voting yes to the Annan Plan and also to boost the economy so that it can come in line with that on the south.
It is very important that the TRNC's economy is brought up so that when the north and south enter into talks again, there will not be such a huge disparity in economies.
Such a huge disparity will be very damaging for the south if it is allowed to remain as investors are likely to leave the south in favour of the north and this could undermine the stability of the Republic of (south) Cyprus.
Investors entering the main market sectors in TRNC now - namely the real estate market and the tourist sector - are starting to benefit from what is predicted to be a prolonged period of sustained growth in the economy of the North as TRNC comes in line with south Cyprus.
The economy in Northern Cyprus is being further boosted by the hundreds of new international residents it is attracting annually who have only recently learned about this gloriously untouched and affordable Mediterranean haven where English is widely spoken, health, education and general living standards are first class, where the cost of living is incredibly low and where the people are so genuinely welcoming that a home from home abroad can be quickly established.
The sun shines in Cyprus for up to 320 days a year and the climate is inimitable in its perfection. The beaches of Northern Cyprus are sandy and in the summer they are home to rare sea turtles as the beaches have been left untouched. North Cyprus is also home to many castles, historical landmarks and cultural areas of interest as well as first class international bars, restaurants, hotels and casinos. These are just some of the many reasons why property investor interest in TRNC will not be slowed or stopped - in fact, such is the desire for homes for sale in Northern Cyprus currently that property developers cannot keep up with the current demand!
What the Future Holds for North Cyprus
World wide diplomatic sanctions are set to be lifted and trade travel embargoes removed.
The EU has pledged Euros 259 million in aid for Northern Cyprus, to fund improving the country's infrastructure.
A new airport (Ercan) opened in May 2004 which will enable planes to fly directly to Northern Cyprus for the first time since 1974.
According to UN estimates, Northern Cyprus needs to build a further 30,000 villas within the next three years. The current rate is 500-1000 per year.
An 18-hole championship golf has recently opened it gates to general public and there are projects planned to create two further yachting marinas. Tourism is playing a major part in the economy and helping to provide economic stability.
Other Investment Incentives
Foreign investment is actively encouraged, and those willing to invest in N Cyprus can be sure of a positive Government attitude including:
o Leasing of land for extended periods at favourable rates.
o Import duty exemptions for goods concerning the project.
o Government contribution to charter risk.
o Contribution to brochure/advertisement expenditure up to 75%.
o Exemption from tax for ten years in case of tourism investment
o Annual interest and principal instalments of foreign loans enjoy a transfer guarantee.
o 20% annual foreign exchange earnings deductions from taxable income for tourism companies
o Free transfer of proceeds in case of liquidity of investments.
o Repatriation of profits without restriction or limitations.
o Employment of foreign personnel who are not available locally.
o Transfer of net income earned by foreign personnel is free.
o Exemption of constriction license fee.
REGISTERING A COMPANY IN NORTHERN CYPRUS
With reference to the registration of a company, the legal form widely used for business undertakings in the TRNC, both by foreign investors and by local businessmen, is the private limited company. The provisions concerning the limited company are set out in the Company's Law, Cap 113, which is almost identical with the UK's Company Act of 1948.
Permission is obtained from the Council of Ministers for foreign ownership of TRNC registered companies, usually within two or three months of application. The foreign ownership can be up to 49%, with the main share holder(s) being of TRNC citizenship owning at least 51%. A business permit is also required, which may be obtained from the Immigration Office. In case of foreign investment, the TRNC citizen (s) will normally hold their shares in trust for the actual foreign investor and contracts reflect the substance of this agreement rather than the form.
The TRNC is encouraging a policy of attracting foreigners to come and live and work in N Cyprus - in particular, to invest in businesses, especially within the tourism sector. This, of course, opens up a multitude of trades and businesses, from travel agencies, transport companies (whether land, sea or air), hotels, bars, restaurants, holiday villages, tourist related services such as water sports, recreational land sports such as tennis, golf, horse riding etc.

Masters Degree with a license in Mental Health Counseling and has her own counseling practice.
Training doesn't change much for me from whether I'm in fight camp or not, I mainly just increase the intensity level and add a few extra training sessions with more and harder sparring rounds. Since I train hard all the time we don't have to make drastic changes which makes adjusting to fight camp that much easier. A typical training day for me looks something like this: Wake up go for a run, then head to the gym for MMA specific drills and workouts then do some bjj technique and sparring, then its straight to strength and conditioning, take a few hour break come back in the evening for striking drills, bjj / mma and sparring. Then wake up the next day and do it all over again. Typically I spend about 7hrs a day training 5-6 days a week.
I was an athlete all my life, played every sport you could think of growing up, fell in love with Basketball got a scholarship, played in college, and then after college I needed something else to master so I found bjj, muay thai, and mma, and instantly found my new love.
If I could do anything besides what I already do I would want to be an astronaut. Just like fighters they need to be in tip top physical shape to be able to withstand the demands of space travel and the idea of being able to go into outer space and look down on earth is nothing short of Amazing!
This was seriously a mind boggling question for me that took me 3 days to contemplate and this is the Best I could come up with… I would love to meet the Mad Hatter, he is such a free spirited kooky dude and would be a blast to have a tea party with and enjoy all the antics that will certainly transpire.
Mr Magorium from Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. If you don't know who he is then you are missing out on life, seriously no joking here!!! (in case you haven't noticed I love to use exclamation points, makes everything you say that much more intense!!!) I strive to have Mr. Magorium's outlook and approach to life, carefree and loving every moment no matter what life throws your way, always staying positive with a childlike vibe. Being able to light up a room with your positive energy and spreading it to others like it's the plague, not the bad plague that killed a bunch of people but one that you actually want to catch.

Bedroom ottoman bench – Only a few furniture is build more with comfort in mind than the ottoman benches. Often regarded as a focal point, the bench has become very popular in recent years as people have re-discovered how much fun. It is to enjoy the beauty and comfort of their home. People can blame this on the economy and liberate the housing market, but other factors seem to play. Including the desire to go back to a simpler time. When families enjoy time with them at home, watch movies, play games or just talk until late . As anyone knows, comfortable is very important for these nights at home.
That's where the bench ottoman is very useful. As they are make to enhance the experience of sitting at home by give the feet and legs a tired place to rest. It not only take pressure from the bones and bones that are sick. But also changes the way blood flows through your body. Reducing the stress and tension placed on your heart. No wonder you feel very relax when there is a bench of ottoman around. Bedroom ottoman bench come in various shapes, sizes and styles today. You can get a very large one that can really duplicate as a coffee table. Allowing four or even more people to kick their feet and sit the spell.
The smaller bench has the advantage of being very portable. So you can move it around the room or even the house. Then you can relax and enjoy a pleasant seat no matter where you are. That's not to say that the larger part is not portable. Typically, the larger bedroom ottoman bench has a wheel. So it's easy to move it from the couch to the seat of love or to the occasional seat in the corner by the television. If you have a seating area that you like to relax, think about adding the ottoman to it. One of the great things about the ottoman is that it does not have to fit in a chair, a sofa or a soft chair.


According to North Dakota family law, parenting rights and responsibilities can be established between parents who are either unmarried or are litigating a divorce. The most common issues in the realm of parenting rights and responsibilities include residential responsibility of children (also known as custody), parenting time (also known as visitation), decision-making responsibilities, child support, and medical coverage for the child.
If you and the other parent can't agree on all issues about parenting rights and responsibilities, you need to file a contested parenting rights and responsibilities action in written form. The first primary document you need to have written up is a summons that you present to the other parent that notifies them of the parenting rights and responsibilities process and informs then that they must file a written answer to the court in order to participate in the case. The second document is a complaint that you file with the court that gives the court identifying information about you, the other parent and your children, and tells the court what parenting rights and responsibilities you are pursuing. Subsequent court procedures in the dispute will require more documentation.
These forms need to be highly detailed and capture a majority if not all of the matters about which you have disagreements with the other parent. You have the legal right to represent yourself fully, including creating these documents on your own. But you're best served having an experienced lawyer focused on putting this paperwork together. At O'Day Law Office, PC, we're ready to help.
O'Day Law Office, PC is committed to helping Fargo-Moorhead metro area families with all their legal needs while pursuing parenting rights cases.

EU can help end egregious abuses in Central Asia
Federica Mogherini with the foreign ministers of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and the deputy foreign minister of Turkmenistan at her last Central Asia meeting, in March this year (Photo: EEAS)
By Philippe Dam
Today's (23 November) annual gathering in Brussels between the EU's top diplomat, Federica Mogherini, and her five Central Asian counterparts takes place in a context of both hope and fear.
There's hope of greater political will to leave some of the region's most egregious violations behind.
But there's also fear, because repressive policies persist, and uncontested by the EU.
It's time for the EU to stop courting unaccountable oppressive leaders, and instead bank on the aspirations for a brighter, more democratic future in Central Asia.
Three years ago in Uzbekistan, dozens of journalists, opposition and human rights activists, and other critics were among the thousands of people jailed on politically motivated charges.
The government had imposed a blanket ban on the freedoms of association, expression, and religion.
International rights monitoring groups, including Human Rights Watch, had been banned from the country for years.
This week, we are in Tashkent with a small team, heading to a human rights gathering in Samarkand and are planning to press the authorities to provide rehabilitation and assistance for former political prisoners.
Our capacity to work in Uzbekistan is not the only thing that has changed for the better there.
Since the death of president Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan has freed more than 35 long-serving political prisoners, there is an increasingly open media environment, and some local officials have been held accountable for abuse or corruption.
But there's still a long way to go.
Many promised reforms have yet to materialise, and the government remains authoritarian.
Thousands of other people remain behind bars on politically motivated charges. The security services' powers are overreaching, and free elections and political pluralism are distant dreams.
Local authorities continue to forcibly mobilise public sector workers and students to pick cotton despite a public decree prohibiting forced labour.
But what the changes in Uzbekistan have shown is that political will can improve human rights, that citizens welcome those changes, and that they benefit the country's international reputation.
This should be a lesson for how the EU deals with other leaders in the region, where it has sidelined human rights concerns when dealing with rulers mostly interested in consolidating their own power.
The meetings this week were an opportunity for the EU to reset its approach and unequivocally press to end the most egregious abuses that have traumatised the region's people since their independence from Soviet rule.
The EU can start by taking a principled position against politically motivated detention of government critics and ill-treatment in detention.
The continued detention of the human rights defender Azimjon Askarov in Kyrgyzstan is a stain in the country's human rights record.
Askarov was sentenced in 2010 to life i in prison following an unfair trial and serious allegations of ill-treatment and torture.
He remains in prison even though the UN human rights committee called for his immediate release. In Uzbekistan, the thousands who remain imprisoned on political or religious grounds should be immediately released.
In Kazakhstan, the authorities have used overly broad and vague criminal charges to lock up critics.
Maks Bokaev, imprisoned in 2016 for his role organising peaceful protests against land policies, serves an unfair five-year sentence.
In Tajikistan, authorities have jailed over 150 activists, opposition leaders, lawyers and journalists, banned political opposition parties, and sought the extradition abroad of other peaceful activists in a deepening human rights crackdown.
Turkmenistan black hole
In Turkmenistan, one of the world's most isolated and oppressive countries, it is impossible to know how many people are jailed on politically motivated charges. But over 100, at minimum, remain forcibly disappeared and have not been allowed any contacts with their families and lawyers, some for as long as 16 years.
The European Union is right to support more active involvement of civil society and sees an independent and effective judiciary as cornerstones of democratisation in Central Asia.
But as long as human rights defenders, outspoken critics, and average citizens face years of possible detention or brutal treatment for exercising their basic rights, democracy in Central Asia will remain a remote aspiration at best.
In Samarkand today, as well as in Tashkent and in Brussels, the Uzbek government is eager to showcase its promising reforms to international partners. It is too early to tell whether they will become systematic or institutional.
But as far as EU policy in the region in concerned, this is a unique opportunity to loudly say that there should be no turning back on basic human rights.

Accredited translation services put your brand into the hands of professionals. That means a more professional image for you and more sales.
If you sell or do business abroad, you might find you need a translator. If you have important documents to translate, you should use accredited translation services. This article explains what accredited translation services are, why you need them and how to find them.
What do we mean by accredited translation services?
Accredited translation service providers have official recognition. In the case of professional freelance translators, like us, it means we have officially recognised qualifications and are members of translation associations. So, what qualifications should you look for in a professional translator?
A Master in Translation or the Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists are the gold-standard accredited translation qualifications , and the ones Gwen and I offer. Also, professional translators are usually accredited members of professional organisations. For instance, Gwen is a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and I am a member of the Institute of Translation and Inerpreting and Mediterranean Editors and Translators.
Professional translators usually specialise in a limited range of subjects. These could include fields such as legal, medical, literary or marketing translation. This expertise means they produce better translations. They'll also be able to advise you on cultural and linguistic aspects, and provide a fast, reliable service.
Why use an accredited translator? Can't you just Google it?
Do you really need accredited translation services for translation? Can't you just use Google Translate? If you need to know the meaning of a few words, Google Translate will give you an idea. But, it doesn't work well with words with more than one meaning. It can't do nuance or use context.
Computers can't read between the lines. They can't interpret nuance. Even a correct literal translation might not be what you need. A professional, accredited translator will be aware of those traps and know how to avoid them. Translators translate concepts and ideas as well as words. Computers can't.
We've all seen those disastrous, but funny menu translations. I remember wondering what on earth "globular chicken" meant on a menu in Portugal. I never found out because, needless to say, I didn't order it. It's a funny anecdote, but you don't want your business to be a funny dinner party story.
If it's a document you want to use to impress people, or persuade them to buy from you, non-professional translation will be a false economy.
OK, not Google translate. But what about my bilingual friend?
You know someone who speaks the language. Surely they can translate your document, if they understand the words in both languages? Why do you need a professional?
Because it's not enough to speak the language. Even if you are bilingual. A professional translator does more than communicate in two languages. A professional translator has studied the art of translation, as well as the grammar and punctuation of their languages. They are professional writers and linguists. It's what they do, day in and day out.
Professional translators invest in their #translation #business Click To TweetAny text where it's important to understand more than the gist is open to misinterpretation. Google Translate or an amateur translator can give you an idea. But, they will fall into language traps and misunderstand things. An accredited translator has a foot in each language and culture. They are aware of those linguistic traps. And they navigate your brand through them. The result is that you sell. Rather than becoming a globular chicken-style anecdote. Read about more myths busted to help you get a quality translation .
What do you get from accredited translation services?
What are the advantages for your business of hiring an accredited translator?
Professional translators invest in their business. This means that a professional translator is an investment in your business. Accredited translation services include ensuring consistent terminology, by using the latest technology. They invest in state-of-the-art terminology software, voice recognition and DTP tools.
Beyond having the right tools for the job, they do continuous professional development. Professional translators attend conferences and network with other translators. They keep up to date with the latest developments in their specialisation. All of this is what offering accredited translation services means.
A professional translator is quick and punctual. Because they translate every day, they can give you a reliable estimate of how long the job will take. They have the equipment, software, skills and experience to do a good job, quickly. They use translation memories, glossaries and latest technology. This makes them consistent and means they work much faster than someone who doesn't translate for a living.
Using accredited translation services means you know what you're buying. It's a guarantee of a level of service. A professional translator translates for a living. Professional translators have qualifications in translation and are members of professional bodies. This shows they have the required knowledge and skills. It's proof of their professionalism. Membership of these professional bodies also means they are bound by ethical obligations. What does this mean for you? It means you know your documents will be handled with professionalism and confidentiality.
If your documents are confidential, Google is definitely not the solution. Google's terms of service give it the right "to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content". You can sign a non-disclosure agreement when you buy accredited translation services. This protects confidential documents from entering the public arena.
What are the dangers of not using accredited translation services?
As we saw in an earlier article about poor-quality transcreation , not using a professional can damage your brand. If you need your document to have the desired effect, you need someone who knows what they're doing. If all you need is to get a basic idea of meaning, then perhaps your bilingual friend will be enough. But how do you know the meaning has been correctly translated?
To avoid errors and misunderstandings in your text, accredited translation services are the way to go. This is the case particularly for legal and medical translation. With legal texts, an inaccurate translation can jeopardise reputations, finances and livelihoods. The consequences can be serious. Errors made on medical translations could cost lives.
But, even seemingly simple texts can have unforeseen consequences if badly translated. Do you use marketing, sales or promotional material? Then, you'll know how important it is to build a relationship with the customer. If the copy is clunky, it won't hit the spot. If it sounds unnatural and "translated" it won't build that relationship you need to make a sale. You need a professional translator and transcreator. Someone who knows how to reach your target customer in their own language.
Where can you find accredited translation services?
You've decided to use an accredited translator. Where do you find them? Professional translators will have an online presence. They will be on networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter. They will also have their own website and maybe a blog like this one. Their website will include client testimonials and details of specialisations. And remember, look for recognised qualifications and membership of professional organisations, as I mentioned at the start of this article.
Do you need accredited translation services? At The Translator's Studio, we can provide a detailed quotation for your project. Why not get in touch and see how we can help you?

In Search of The è un box set di 13 album del chitarrista statunitense Buckethead, pubblicato il 21 febbraio 2007 dalla TDRS Music.

Il disco
Catalogato nelle "edizioni speciali" di Buckethead, In Search of The è il primo lavoro del chitarrista ad essere identificato come tale. Ciascun album è identificato da un numero di volume e da una lettera; complessivamente, le lettere compongono la frase "IN SEARCH OF THE".

I 13 dischi dell'edizione originale del box set (ciascuno disegnato e numerato dallo stesso Buckethead) erano acquistabili sia come box set intero che separatamente.

Secondo il produttore Travis Dickerson, In Search of The «non è un CD regolare. È disegnato e numerato. La copertina è stata realizzata per essere scritta sopra di essa. Non è un prodotto fabbricato; ciascun [disco] è differente e sarà numerato e siglato. [...] Non ho mai sentito parlare di un artista che abbia praticato una cosa simile.»

Il cofanetto inoltre non riporta alcun credito. Si suppone che tutti i brani siano stati suonati esclusivamente da Buckethead.

I brani
I brani presenti in questo cofanetto presentano stili musicali molto differenti. In aggiunta, ciascun brano non presenta alcun titolo per essere identificata, sebbene alcuni fan abbiano assegnato titoli non ufficiali ad essi.

Nel complesso sono presenti oltre novanta brani per un totale complessivo di quasi nove ore e mezza di musica. I brani presentano una durata compresa tra 0:33 a 19:45, senza includere il tredicesimo disco, contenente un'unica traccia della durata di 45 minuti, ad oggi la più lunga mai composta dal chitarrista.

Introduction ::Tanzania
Shortly after achieving independence from Britain in the early 1960s, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule ended in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities. The formation of a government of national unity between Zanzibar's two leading parties succeeded in minimizing electoral tension in 2010.

Economy ::Tanzania
Tanzania is one of the world's poorest economies in terms of per capita income, however, it has achieved high overall growth rates based on gold production and tourism. Tanzania has largely completed its transition to a liberalized market economy, though the government retains a presence in sectors such as telecommunications, banking, energy, and mining. The economy depends on agriculture, which accounts for more than one-quarter of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs about 80% of the work force. The World Bank, the IMF, and bilateral donors have provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's aging economic infrastructure, including rail and port infrastructure that are important trade links for inland countries. Recent banking reforms have helped increase private-sector growth and investment, and the government has increased spending on agriculture to 7% of its budget. The financial sector in Tanzania has expanded in recent years and foreign-owned banks account for about 48% of the banking industry's total assets. Competition among foreign commercial banks has resulted in significant improvements in the efficiency and quality of financial services, though interest rates are still relatively high, reflecting high fraud risk. All land in Tanzania is owned by the government, which can lease land for up to 99 years. Proposed reforms to allow for land ownership, particularly foreign land ownership, remain unpopular. Continued donor assistance and solid macroeconomic policies supported a positive growth rate, despite the world recession. In 2008, Tanzania received the world's largest Millennium Challenge Compact grant, worth $698 million, and in December 2012 the Millennium Challenge Corporation selected Tanzania for a second Compact. Dar es Salaam used fiscal stimulus and loosened monetary policy to ease the impact of the global recession. GDP growth in 2009-13 was a respectable 6-7% per year due to high gold prices and increased production.

tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Tanzania does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so; law enforcement made modest anti-trafficking efforts but imposed punishments on offenders that were inadequate for the seriousness of the crimes committed; key victim protection provisions of the 2008 anti-trafficking act remain unimplemented; the government continues to refer child trafficking victims to NGOs for care but has no procedure for the referral of adult victims; the national anti-trafficking action plan has not been implemented; no public awareness campaigns about the dangers of trafficking are conducted (2013)
targeted by traffickers moving hashish, Afghan heroin, and South American cocaine transported down the East African coastline, through airports, or overland through Central Africa; Zanzibar likely used by traffickers for drug smuggling; traffickers in the past have recruited Tanzanian couriers to move drugs through Iran into East Asia


text: Q: Mathematics of Anomalies in QFT As a mathematics student interested in theoretical physics, I found it very hard to study about anomalies in QFT in standard physics texts. They concentrate on particular examples (like chiral anomaly), however, I want to know about general properties of anomalies in a Quantum Field Theory. Do you know of any books, lecture notes, or any other references for a proper general properties of anomalies for a mathematics student?

GIS International Interior Architecture, Design and Lighting Expo Conference will take place on April 7-8, in Bucharest, where architect Martin Lesjak will present the Rolling Stones, project that has won the LEAF Interior Design Awards 2013, at the Public Building of the Year and Overall Winner categories.
The project Rolling Stones, the conversion and redevelopment of the Cannon Hall in Graz, Austria, was designed by INNOCAD architecture office in cooperation with KMKG Studio and ANASTASIA SU as a new information centre for Graz Tourismus. The architects used murnockerl (cobblestone) as he basic building block of the concept, as a symbol of permanence.
"The continuation of the cobblestone (Murnockerln) theme throughout the project makes an important link to the heritage of the building. The design has been sensitively executed: the space has been modernised and made accessible to the public, without compromising the existing architecture" – the jury commented.
Martin Lesjak, with INNOCAD, carries out numerous projects in housing, offices, hotel, health service, retail, interior and product design. INNOCAD has been awarded for LEAF Interior Design Awards 2013 and was nominated for FX Awards 2013 (with the project Rolling Stones), for the 34th interior awards (XAL cc, HQ Microsoft Vienna), for the best architects label 2013 (HQ Microsoft Vienna, Rose am Lend) and many more.
GIS International Interior Architecture, Design and Lighting Expo Conference is part of the series of international architecture and entrepreneurship expo conferences organized by Abplus Events, alongside INGLASS, LAUD, RIFF and CONTRACTOR.

Q: How can I broadcast a Twilio (group room) video conference? I have been trying different solutions/approaches for last few days and posting here to get some more options.
I am planning to use Twilio's Programmable Video solution with Group room (upto 50 participants) to allow hosts/presenters to join video conference meeting. Right now I am able to setup and get started with quickstart example here
Also, in parallel, I need to be able to broadcast that live meeting room through RTMP/HLS (audio+video) streaming that can be viewed (through another portal) by large user set (ideally around 10k+)
Twilio support team suggested - integrating Twilio Video with Wowza using screenscrapping and ffmpeg (i.e. render the video into a (maybe virtual) screen, capture it and send to Wowza using ffmpeg.)
I am new to both ffmpeg and wowza. However, I am looking to see high level solution which can be used to achieve this (with minimum hanging parts).
Ideal flow i can think of is

*

*Start a Twilio video conference room with actual presenters

*all participants share there video and audio tracks with each other in the room - standard behavior

*a new ghost-participant joins-in from stand-alone server (from wowza or SIP) and subscribes to audio-video tracks in conference.

*arrange & combine those tracks into one channel and stream it as HLS

*this ghost-participant will also be able to identify dominant speaker and re-arrange video tracks to show current speaker occupying bigger space (just like zoom)

*and of course, this streamed video (with audio) will be one-way and viewers cannot interact. Just see be able to see the room broadcasting.

Also/FYI
I have tried exploring few more options below (with no success)

*

*a blog here explain how can we broadcast a twilio audio
conference. At the bottom it also mention about video streaming. but, I am not getting how can we use SIP to get video stream that can be broadcasted. Also, how can I manipulate video tracks to show dominant speakers in full screen view Vs other participant in thumbnail view i.e. custom layouts.

*I also explored option of Wowza WebRTC streaming to achieve this, but it has got other technical challenges with setting up video room with multiple participants. I am going to reach out to them to see if this use-case is possible with their offering.

*I am looking for something as simple as here - dial as guest participant into video room from standalone streaming server/wowza server. And get output as single stream to broadcast.
Any other pointers or links to solutions would be helpful.


The Norrøna CCVest store is another store located within a shopping center where the floor space is limited. We found that hanging jackets and pants sideways is more space efficient than hanging them flat on the wall, so for this project we developed a new free standing module for hanging clothes. Another measure we did to optimized wall space was the display walls facing out of the store that create a added wall space on the inside of the wall.

Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 5 Ending Explained
By Christian Bone @ChristianABone 3 days ago
Last night, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" finally came to an end, wrapping up what has to be the most ambitious crossover in television history. There was a lot to take in, then, from the event's last hour, with the promise that the Arrowverse will never be the same again. So, let's recap what happened in the final 20 minutes or so of the crossover.
Just when their troubles looked to be over, the heroes of the Arrowverse had to battle the Anti-Monitor and his Shadow Demons one last time. Oliver Queen may have restarted the multiverse, thanks to his Spectre power upgrade, but the Monitor's evil counterpart still survived. Thankfully, the heroes came up with a plan and managed to trap the villain forever in the Microverse.
With him taken care of, the President of the United States shared a message of thanks to the heroes on TV, particularly honoring the late Green Arrow. Speaking of whom, Oliver then narrated a montage that mirrors the beginning of "Crisis," explaining about the rebirth of the multiverse. From there, we check in on various worlds – Earth-2 (Stargirl), Earth-9 (Titans), Earth-12 (the upcoming Green Lantern show), Earth-19 (R.I.P. Swamp Thing!), Earth-21 (Doom Patrol) and Earth-96 (Brandon Routh's Superman).
Grant Gustin Shares BTS Photos Of Ezra Miller's Crisis On Infinite Earths Cameo
Finally, we then return to Earth-Prime – the rebooted Earth-1 which is now merged with Earth-38 and Black Lightning's Earth. The seven central heroes – the Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, White Canary, Black Lightning, Superman and Martian Manhunter – are convened at the abandoned S.T.A.R. Labs facility introduced back in the "Invasion" crossover. Barry Allen explains that he wants this to be the heroes' base of operations, unveiling a table for the Super-Friends with personalized chairs and a logo made up of a star and a shield in the center.
Just then, a monkey is heard and we see that a S.T.A.R. Labs crate marked "Gleek" is open. This is an unexpected nod to Gleek the blue, mischievous monkey owned by the Wonder Twins in the Super-Friends cartoon.
So there you have it. A united Arrowverse, the formation of the Justice League and an easter egg. What more could you want from the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths"?

The Challenges of Engineering Interconnectivity for the Connected Automobile
By Contributed Article on June 27, 2017
Today's cars feature advanced safety, infotainment, navigation, and diagnostics capabilities. Tomorrow's cars will require exponentially more electronics.
Thomas Scannell, Automotive Lead, Amphenol ICC
The Connected Automobile
As automobiles continue to evolve, designers are leaving yesterday's basic vehicle technology behind, embracing today's advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and preparing for tomorrow's completely autonomous vehicle, which comes with a wide range of challenges. Automotive systems design engineers must both develop new technologies and adapt existing technologies to meet ever more critical requirements for increased bandwidth, reliability, computing power, and energy efficiency. One of the most critical factors of advanced automotive technology development is the design of new interconnection systems.
In older automotive systems, the default interconnection technology was a relatively low-speed, discrete, two-wire power and signal link that separately joined each subsystem to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). The initial automotive networking protocols, such as CAN bus, were developed as a first attempt at data integration, with the same low bandwidth and data transmission speed requirements. Today's automotive systems are already advancing beyond CAN bus to the anticipated development of a new data communications protocol — Automotive Ethernet — which, in its first iteration, is expected to enable data transmission rates up to 1.3GHz. But even that increase in bandwidth capability (100 times faster than CAN bus), will not be sufficient to handle the data stream a truly autonomous vehicle requires.
It is understandable that next-generation hardware and software for automotive interconnection technology is being adapted from technologies used in computer systems and data centers. The expanding requirements for data transmission speeds, signal integrity, and network integration in tomorrow's autonomous vehicles parallel the similar evolution from individual computers to networks to data centers. Today's cars feature increasingly sophisticated internal electronics (e.g., infotainment systems, navigation, safety features, and diagnostics) and, in the near future, their connectivity will expand even further to communicate and interact with their surrounding environment, including other vehicles and drivers.
By some estimates, a typical vehicle will be expected to send and receive more than one million instructions per second while traveling at highway speeds by the year 2025. Another estimate puts the bandwidth requirement for a comprehensive ADAS-enabled vehicle at 4 terabytes per hour. Designers need to re-engineer the concept of automotive interconnection systems to enable these new bandwidth requirements.
Amphenol's BTFW Series is a floating board-to-board connector system designed for applications that require high density and high reliability interconnects with higher pin counts and surface mount termination, such as audio video (AV) and navigation systems in automobiles.
An illustration of the exponential expansion of data communications requirements is found in the evolution of onboard vehicle camera systems. While a typical vehicle may have only a single back-up video camera connected to a dashboard display and an alarm indicator, a more comprehensive ADAS-equipped vehicle will likely feature as many as 30 cameras — some to provide a continuous 360° view around the car, and others that are fixed on specific areas to enable backup alerts, lane-change monitoring, and collision avoidance systems, among others. These cameras will have more functionality than capturing simple video images as well, featuring integrated video, radar, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), ultrasound, and other sensing technologies. They are also likely to have two-way communications capability with other vehicle systems, such as side or rearview mirrors that can serve as onboard camera system displays. Further compounding the bandwidth requirements, any of these camera functions related to critical safety or vehicle controls will need to have double- or triple-redundancy.
In addition to the expanded bandwidth this new generation of automotive interconnectivity requires, traditional automotive demands must also be met. Considerations that go beyond those of typical data centers include designing for constrained spaces and the ability to operate under extreme temperature changes, shock, or vibration. A small form-factor connector type, such as USB 3.0, may be adapted for use with several automotive systems, with the added benefit of standardization to make many of the systems backward-compatible.
Amphenol's Conan® 1.00mm is a mezzanine connector with a unique design and an audible 'click' sound that enhances the security and ease of use.
For shock and vibration resistance, it is likely that connector manufacturers will adapt traditional automotive connection technologies. Compliant-pin press-fit connectors that mount securely to PCBs are one possibility, as these are not subject to the long-term failure modes that could be experienced with soldered connections. Press-fit connectors are also able to accommodate higher pin counts and the contact density that will be required for the increased signal integration of ADAS-enabled vehicles.
One of the biggest challenges currently facing connector manufacturers is to develop standards for a new data communications protocol that includes both hardware (e.g., the connector form factor), as well as increased bandwidth that enables the new levels of functionality and control required for ADAS-equipped vehicles. The development of these standards will also require the integration of higher bandwidth features that are more common to data center connectors with the ruggedized features already found in automotive connectors, as well as advanced communications protocols that can integrate the increased data transmission and prioritize the signals based on safety and control functionality. Advanced connector technology will play a critical role in the integration of advanced functionality and safety features that will soon be on our roads.

Fig.1 - Schematic representation of the dynamical response of the scalar
model, both for NCOP and COP. The three regimes are shown, separated by the
crossover times $t_1$ and $t_2$.

Fig.2 - Behaviour of $L(t)$ (fig.2a) and of $S(t)$ (fig.2b)
for a non conserved system
quenched on the $r=0$ axis, with different values of $g$ ($g=0.1$,
$g=1$ and $g=10$). The continuous lines represent
respectively the power laws $t^{\frac {1}{2}}$ and $t^{-1}$ associated to
trivial scaling. Best fit yields $z=2.01\pm 0.05$ for every value of $g$
and $\alpha /z=1.0\pm 0.1$ for $g=0.1$ and $g=1$, $\alpha /z=1.2 \pm 0.1$
for $g=10$.

for a conserved system
quenched on the $r=0$ axis, with different values of $g$ ($g=0.1$,
$g=1$ and $g=10$). The continuous lines represent
respectively the power laws $t^{\frac {1}{4}}$ and $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
associated to
trivial scaling. Best fit yields $z=3.98\pm 0.05$
and $\alpha/z=0.51\pm 0.03$,
for every value of $g$.

Fig.4 - Behaviour of $S(t)$ for a non conserved system
quenched inside the phase consistence region, with $g=1$ and different
values of $r$ ($r=-0.005$,
$r=-0.05$ and $r=-1$). The duration of the early scaling
regime increases as $|r|$ decreases.

for a conserved system
quenched inside the phase consistence region, with $g=1$ and different
values of $r$ ($r=-0.03$, $r=-0.3$ and $r=-1.3$).
The continuous lines represent the trivial scaling behaviour with $z=4$
and $\alpha =2$. Best fit of data with
$r=-0.03$ yields $z=4.1\pm 0.1$ and $\alpha/z=0.49\pm 0.05$.

Fig.6 - The phase diagram in the (m,T) plane.
The phase coexistence region and the spinodal line, above which metastability
occurs, are shown.
