Start the day by heading up to Shinyo-do Temple, up on Yoshida-yama. The main hall of this temple is surrounded by lovely cherry trees, and there are some more beauties outside the main gate. Bus Nos. 5, 100, 203 and 204 all stop nearby. The closest stop is the Jodoji stop. It's a little tricky to find from there (use our map to find the way). Of course, all buses will be packed during this season, so a taxi direct from your hotel is a very good idea and will save time and effort.
Walk east out of the temple's main vermillion gate and continue straight for about 100 meters through a residential neighborhood and up a flight of steps to reach the top of Yoshida-yama (a small hill). Work your way north across the top of the hill (crossing a street en route). It will take some route finding, but you'll eventually descend down to Imadegawa-dori Street.
Walk east (away from the mountains) on Imadegawa for about 20 minutes, passing Kyoto University and crossing Higashioji-dori en route. You'll eventually find yourself at the confluence of the Kamo-gawa and Takano-gawa rivers. This is the area known as Demachiyanagi. Grab some food in a nearby convenience store and have a picnic under one of the cherry trees that line the banks of both rivers.
After lunch, take a taxi up to Daitoku-ji Temple (it should cost around Y1,200). Here, the subtemple of Obai-in is open for all of April. It's one of the most beautiful little gardens in the city and there are some great cherry trees here. After checking out Obai-in, walk through the rest of the complex and check out any other gardens that are open.
Leave Daitoku-ji and walk east on Kitaoji-dori to reach Kitaoji Bus Terminal, underneath which you can catch the Karasuma subway line back to central Kyoto. Take a well-deserved rest at your lodgings.
Eat dinner downtown wherever you can find a seat.
Walk south on Kiyamachi from Sanjo-dori. Kiyamiachi is one street west of the Kamo-gawa. The canal that runs parallel to Kiyamachi is lined with cherry trees that are illuminated during cherry blossom season. It will be crowded until you reach Shijo-dori. Cross Shijo and continue along Kiyamachi. About 100 meters south of Shijo, the crowds thin out and you can enjoy this magical arcade of illuminated cherry trees with few people around to bother you.

Facebook is currently the most popular social networking site globally and inevitably getting integrated into different facets of life. The prevalence of Facebook and its profuse affordances (both technical and social) have raised controversial opinions among scholars on applying Facebook to education. In Vietnam, while the number of Facebook users is ranking as the 7th largest worldwide, research on this platform remains remarkably insufficient and mostly limited within social or psychological perspectives. Also, while the country is struggling to improve its long-criticized education system and catch up with global trends of integrating new technologies into learningteaching contexts, there is a void of understanding on social networking sites, especially Facebook, in relation to education.
The research aims at examining how Facebook is utilized for educational purposes by undergraduate students from Ho Chi Minh University of Education (Vietnam) and their perceptions of applying Facebook to the teaching-learning process, upon which the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook as an educational tool in higher education are clarified. Additionally, through students' actual usage and perceptions, the potential of Facebook for connected learning is discerned in search for feasible solutions to the Vietnamese educational reform. The Theory of Facebook for Educational Usage and Theory of Connected Learning set the theoretical framework for this study.
In the research, the mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative approach was applied to attain optimal understanding. Data were collected from an online semi-structured survey of 394 voluntary undergraduates and five following-up theme-based interviews.
Findings from the research confirmed the three primary usages of Facebook for educational purposes (Mazman & Usluel, 2010) including communication, collaboration, and sharing resources or materials. Besides those assisting functions of Facebook for education, particular problems were detected, namely distraction, ineffective collaboration and communication, information accuracy, and cyber-bullying. Although most students were using Facebook in diverse ways to benefit their studies, a proportion of them held relatively skeptical views on the empowering role of Facebook for education, indicating a gap between students' actual usage and perception. It was also found that Facebook had the potential for promoting connected learning, however, the site still had certain drawbacks that were worth consideration. Based on aforementioned findings, some implications are drawn out for higher education and research.


It may seem a bit odd when, compared to our world, we discover two young women so wanting the company of those who've been like parents to them. Still, one must remember that Reigna and Eden have lived a very sheltered life, having rarely left the compound over the years. Now they prepare to set out to discover the world for themselves. It is a scary prospect to do something new and different--to take an action you know leaves you vulnerable because there is no longer a safety net in place for you. Have you ever done that? What is the scariest thing you did as a young adult that may, in the end, have changed the course of your life?
"There are no 'buts,'" Reigna interrupted.
Eden put her hand on her sister's arm. "I know. I miss them too. But I can't go along with your taking . . . that," she said, gesturing toward the weapon.
The two sat quietly for a minute, each lost in her own thoughts.


There are very foolish and uninformed rumors on the internet about these topics. I will share the facts as I know them.
Kim Goguen aka Kim Possible aka Virgo Triad is the purported Trustee of Manna World Trust.
She is a Romanov from the same family as the former Czar of Russia murdered and deposed by the Vermin who selected Kim to be a lab rat in one of their genetic engineering experiments.
She doesn't know what happened to her, why she "isn't the same" as she once was, why she can't feel certain emotions–like love– anymore, why she is in some respects compulsively driven to work 24/7 with immense focus, and at the same time is confused, her mind as unsettled as her jumbled, broken emotions.
But I know what THEY did to her and why. They get their rocks off on "converting" survivors of families they have murdered to their religion —and using and abusing them to do their own dirty work. In this way, their "victory" is complete and their enemies are not only dead and dishonored, but even their shirt-tail relatives are employed doing things and believing things that the Romanovs despised.
This is a religious "war" and a spiritual conflict, in which the Father of All Lies contests with every means of guile against the Father of All Truth.
And those who murdered her family have converted Kim into their literal living breathing tool.
You might assume that "those who murdered her family" refers to the Russian Communists, because that is another lie we were told all our lives. But in fact, the Romanovs were killed by the Rothschild network as revenge for Russian intervention in our Civil War and the Romanov's refusal to turn over control of their national economy to the tender mercies of a Central Bank.
So, what could be more pleasing to the twisted minds among us than to take Kim at an early age, and raise her to be their tool against her own homeland and people?
And when I say "tool" I mean it literally. That is the nasty part of "A1" technology. The victims gain some amazing powers at the cost of losing control over their own minds and souls.
So Kim can act as a human monitor over more than 4500 accounts all over the world— but that is what she is: a computer terminal ensconced in living flesh.
She was chosen for her role by Marduk, and we should all know this moniker as the name of a vicious "God" worshipped in Canaan in the Temple of Baalbek.
He was the original creator of the Artificial Intelligence technology that converted Kim into a living computer terminal.
As for AI and "Quantum", both were developed by rogue elements of our own intelligence agencies and hackers at MIT.
From a moral and ethical standpoint, AI should never have been developed and used for any such purpose.
Kim's mind, emotions, and life are destroyed for no good reason, and she is being used as a machine — a weaponized living computer terminal — to mislead, entrap, and control other living people.
I know this for sure because I have the patents to the AI and Quantum technology sitting on my desk. I can read for myself what the intentions of these monsters really are. And it isn't pretty. I've also talked to Kim Goguen and heard her life story. And now you know the rest of it.
She wasn't a bad woman. On the contrary, she was a very good woman with a kind heart and a brilliant mind. The problem is that thanks to what these criminals have done to her, she isn't herself anymore. She isn't even truly human anymore.
How these and other patents like them have been allowed by the US Patent Office is another story—a story about allowing a British conglomerate, Serco, to use and abuse our Patent Office —- leaving us apparently responsible for patenting horrific inventions and business models blatantly advertised for criminal, even genocidal uses.
That shame belongs to the United Kingdom Government, for gross mis-administration, immorality, and Breach of Trust.
And to Marduk, former head of the Brotherhood of the Rose Cross, whose lust for blood and ancient technologies led him to destruction and caused the destruction of many others.


Kim Benjamin is a mother, writer, and teacher in Los Angeles. In 2002 she was a PEN Emerging Voice and has been a member of The World Stage Anansi Writer's workshop. She has most recently published in Kalliope: A Journal of Women's Literature & Art and online with Literary Mama. She continues to study maternal love as a graduate student with The Fielding University.

HTC's first tablet outed as HTC Scribe?
HTC's inevitable foray into the tablet market looks imminent after the Taiwanese firm trademarked the HTC Scribe name.
The trademark application was filed for a 'handheld wireless device, namely a tablet computer' and the assumption is that this device will see HTC joining the Android-powered iPad rivals' race.
The application doesn't give away much more than the name of the device and the date of the filing (Boxing Day, if you're interested) but we'd imagine it will be running Honeycomb and therefore have a high resolution screen and dual-core innards.
We'd be surprised if the HTC Scribe name actually made it to the model we see on our shelves, as we doubt it's going to come with a pen device a la the tablets of the early 21st century.
HTC looks set to announce something big at CES or Mobile World Congress this year, and in addition to the standard Desire and Legend refreshes it wouldn't be a surprise to see a new tablet turn up too.
This would mean a UK release date of around March or April, and given HTC's recent track record, a not-too-ridiculous UK price could follow as well.
TechRadar is patrolling the floors of CES as we speak, so if nothing turns up there we'll turn our tablet-focused laser sights to the halls of Barcelona for MWC in February.

View cart "Scientific Humanism" has been added to your cart.
An insightful essay which provides a perfect overview of how what has now become known as the "mainstream media" engages in the invention of fake news through the manipulation of events, half-truths, total omissions, and outright lies.
Written more than a century ago, and dealing with what was then the printed media, the author's observations, evidence, and conclusions are just as applicable today as they were at the time.
Belloc starts out by accurately describing the media as the "Capitalist Press," which, contrary to its claims, does not "serve" the public but is rather a clique of hidden manipulators who seek only two things: the advancement of their ideological agendas, and to sell their newspapers.
The Free Press quantity
SKU: The Free Press Categories: All Books, Ideologies and Philosophy Tags: controlled press, Media, newspapers
Belloc contrasts the Capitalist Press with the smaller, genuinely free and independent press, which cannot rely on the advertising revenue which powers their larger competitors, but which tends more toward the truth for that very reason.
The newspaper owners, he says, are an unelected, unaccountable, undemocratic group of millionaires, more powerful than sovereign governments and elected officials. They have the power to make or break politicians, and to present their own agenda in such a way as to claim that it is "public opinion."
Belloc's conclusion—that the Capitalist Press's power would be broken by the "Free Press" was overly optimistic. In fact, the decades following the appearance of this book saw the Capitalist Press grow ever stronger, particularly through its acquisition of the movie and television industry. Through these media, the lies and distortions against which the author warned would be amplified even beyond his imagining.
It would only be through the emergence of the Internet that the Free Press would eventually be given an equal platform with the Capitalist Press, a development which the author would have no doubt savored.
About the author: Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (1870–1953) was a French-born, England-raised writer, historian, political activist, and Member of Parliament. Best known for his hilarious Cautionary Tales for Children, Belloc also wrote widely on history and current affairs. A friend of G. K Chesterton, George Bernard Shaw, and H. G. Wells, Belloc's writings were so extensive that he became known as one of the "Big Four" of Edwardian letters. A one-time member of the Fabian Society, Belloc quickly abandoned the far left and became equally hostile to both unbridled capitalism and socialism. He worked as editor of the political weekly Eye Witness which had a circulation of over 100,000, and, during the First World War, edited Land and Water, a journal devoted to the progress of the war.

Q: ARM Linux Page Table Entry format -- unused bits? I need to use two bits of the PTE to store a custom "state" value that my kernel module will use when intercepting page protection faults.
I am developing on a Galaxy Nexus which has an ARM Cortex A9 (ARM v7, I believe). Linux kernel version 3.0.31. The Linux PTE definitions are as follows (from arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h):
/*
 * "Linux" PTE definitions.
 *
 * We keep two sets of PTEs - the hardware and the linux version.
 * This allows greater flexibility in the way we map the Linux bits
 * onto the hardware tables, and allows us to have YOUNG and DIRTY
 * bits.
 *
 * The PTE table pointer refers to the hardware entries; the "Linux"
 * entries are stored 1024 bytes below.
 */
#define L_PTE_PRESENT       (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 0)
#define L_PTE_YOUNG         (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 1)
#define L_PTE_FILE          (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 2) /* only when !PRESENT */
#define L_PTE_DIRTY         (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 6)
#define L_PTE_RDONLY        (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 7)
#define L_PTE_USER          (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 8)
#define L_PTE_XN            (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 9)
#define L_PTE_SHARED        (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << 10)    /* shared(v6), coherent(xsc3) */

Just by looking at this list of definitions, it appears that bits 3,4,5 are available, as well as bits 11 and up. However, I know that the 20 most significant bits [31:12] are used for the page number (PFN, I believe), so I can't use any of those.
Can I freely use bits [5:3] or will that create problems? I've spent hours searching for the answer to this but I can only find documentation on how Linux uses PTE bits for x86 architecture.
UPDATE:
I have compiled a list of what I believe each PTE bit to be.
bit  0     PRESENT
bit  1     YOUNG
bit  2     MEMORY TYPES 0  B          FILE (only when not PRESENT)
bit  3     MEMORY TYPES 1  C
bit  4     AP0
bit  5     AP1
bit  6     DIRTY
bit  7     RD_ONLY
bit  8     USER
bit  9     XN
bit 10     SHARED
bit 11     EXT_NG (no idea what this is)

bit 12     |---|
...        |PFN|
bit 31     |---|

Unfortunately I don't see a way to specify no read or write permissions, but somehow mmap with PROT_NONE still seems to work. I know how to specify read or R/W permissions, but I still need to know how to set a page to have no permissions.

A: You can try to clear the present bit in the pte, will that force a page fault?

File Photo: Boko Haram attack on Baga in May 2013... On January 3, 2015, Baga came under its heaviest Boko Haram attack ever. Survivors said bodies piled like flies.
The Nigerian military has denied media reports that over 2, 000 people were killed in a terrorists attack in Baga community, Borno State, by extremist group, Boko Haram.
At a briefing Thursday, the Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, said the number of people killed during massive onslaught by Boko Haram in Baga town on Friday Did not exceeded 150 – including terrorists.
"From all available evidences, the number of people who lost their lives during that attack has so far not exceeded about 150 in the interim. This figure includes many of the terrorists who were bearing arms and got killed in the course of their attack and battle with troops," Mr. Olukolade said.
In earlier comments on Twitter Sunday, Mr. Olukolade, a Major General, had rejected the 2,000 figure as stated by Amnesty International.
He said no figure had been "creditably determined".
Boko Haram seized Baga after driving out government forces and killing several civilians.
With soldiers ejected from the area, it is not clear how the military arrived at the figure about 24 hours after.
However, Mr. Olukolade said ongoing surveillance activities, and aerial operations which have yielded aerial photographs, do not support the 2,000 figure.
The defence spokesperson however urged the media to be cautious in accepting casualty figures given by witnesses he said are influenced by their own perspectives.
"Many were also able to escape while the terrorists' battle with troops lasted. The figure given by sources who claim to be eye witnesses must be an extremely exaggerated estimate," he said.
Mr. Olukolade said the hyped casualty report by the section of the media have been misinterpreted by many international bodies.
He reassured Nigerians that the Defence Headquarters has not given up on Baga or any part of the country where terrorists are marauding as appropriate plans, men and resources are presently being mobilized to address the situation.
Mr. Olukolade is not the only Nigerian official to dispute the figure in an attack, which Amnesty International said was a massacre.
Presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, had via his Twitter handle said the figures were exaggerated.
Many Nigerians and the international community are doubtful of the figures provided by Nigerian authorities in an attack International Human Rights organisation, Amnesty International described as Boko Haram's worst attack so far.
Many believe the Nigerian authorities are wont to downplay casualty figures in efforts to downplay the magnitude of attacks, as seen in previous attacks by Boko Haram.

Klohn Crippen Berger Participates in Consultation on Draft Global Tailings Standard
An initiative to draft a Global Tailings Standard wrapped up its public consultation phase recently and Klohn Crippen Berger was among the stakeholders to submit feedback to the draft guidelines.
The standards are being developed by the Global Tailings Review, a joint effort between the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM), the UN Environment Programme, and Principles for Responsible Investment.
The Review was convened following the failure of the tailings storage facility at the Córrego do Feijão iron ore mine, near Brumadinho, Brazil, in January 2019. It aims to establish a standard for the construction, operation, and management of tailings facilities worldwide.
Specifically, the Review has three main goals for its final Standard:
A global and transparent consequence-based tailings facility classification system;
Requirements for emergency planning and preparedness; and
A system for credible and independent assurance of tailings facilities.
The draft Standard is divided into six subject areas, each with a set of requirements. As described by the ICMM, the subject areas are as follows:
Knowledge base requires mine operators to develop knowledge about the social, economic, and environmental context of a proposed or existing tailings facility.
Affected communities focuses on the people living and working nearby. It requires human rights due diligence and meaningful engagement of project-affected people.
Design, construction, operation and monitoring of tailings facilities aims to review technical aspects of tailings facilities.
Management and governance focuses on related key roles, essential systems and critical processes.
Emergency response and long-term recovery covers emergency preparedness and response in the event of a disaster, the reestablishment of ecosystems, and the long-term recovery of affected communities.
Public disclosure and access to information requires public access to information about tailings facilities in order for all stakeholders to be informed of the risks and impacts, management and mitigation plans, and performance monitoring.
The Review will evaluate current best practices in the mining industry and, in addition to evidence and lessons learned from Brumadinho, it will consider findings from tailings facility failures at Mariana in 2015, and Mount Polley in 2014.
The Review held in-country consultations throughout November and December in Kazakhstan, China, Chile, Ghana, South Africa, and Australia.
The final Standard and accompanying recommendations — supporting the Standard and outlining how it is to be implemented — are to be published later in 2020. Along with the Standard, the Global Tailings Review will publish a consultation report reflecting the feedback, key themes, and ideas submitted by different stakeholder groups.
Following publication of the final Standard, all 27 ICMM member companies are expected to commit to its implementation. Thirty-six exploration and mining industry associations and commodity groups also belong to the ICMM.

only difference is the TIME ZONE.  In the 2nd one its IDT.  note: it seems PST works fine. EST works fine. but others do not.
can anyone shed some light on this ? and why nil would be getting returned.  note: the iphone it is running on is EDT.


Hi there! Today's project features Flora Cat Play, a marvelous stamp set from Waffle Flower Crafts. I do love this stamp set! Not only because it's all about cats, but also because it has a unique retro style.
On my card panel I die cut a window using Framed Tags – Chelsea – Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant.
For the background scene, I ink blended some Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink over the Stencil Cloud by My Favorite Things to create the sky. Then, I die cut a hill off ink blended cardstock using Landscape Trio Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant and placed it below the sky.
I foam mounted the flowers behind the window and added the snuggling cat at the bottom of my card.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment directly on my card base inking my stamp half with Paper Bag Dye Ink and half with Caramel Toffee Dye Ink from Altenew, creating a cool gradient.

Sunni monarchs back YouTube hate preachers: Anti-Shia propaganda threatens a sectarian civil war which will engulf the entire Muslim world
Tuesday, December 31, 2013 No comments
Anti-Shia hate propaganda spread by Sunni religious figures sponsored by, or based in, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies, is creating the ingredients for a sectarian civil war engulfing the entire Muslim world. Iraq and Syria have seen the most violence, with the majority of the 766 civilian fatalities in Iraq this month being Shia pilgrims killed by suicide bombers from the al-Qa'ida umbrella group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis). The anti-Shia hostility of this organisation, now operating from Baghdad to Beirut, is so extreme that last month it had to apologise for beheading one of its own wounded fighters in Aleppo – because he was mistakenly believed to have muttered the name of Shia saints as he lay on a stretcher.
At the beginning of December, al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula killed 53 doctors and nurses and wounded 162 in an attack on a hospital in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, which had been threatened for not taking care of wounded militants by a commentator on an extreme Sunni satellite TV station. Days before the attack, he announced that armies and tribes would assault the hospital "to take revenge for our brothers. We say this and, by the grace of Allah, we will do it".
Skilled use of the internet and access to satellite television funded by or based in Sunni states has been central to the resurgence of al-Qa'ida across the Middle East, to a degree that Western politicians have so far failed to grasp. In the last year, Isis has become the most powerful single rebel military force in Iraq and Syria, partly because of its ability to recruit suicide bombers and fanatical fighters through the social media. Western intelligence agencies, such as the NSA in the US, much criticised for spying on the internet communications of their own citizens, have paid much less attention to open and instantly accessible calls for sectarian murder that are in plain view. Critics say that this is in keeping with a tradition since 9/11 of Western governments not wishing to hold Saudi Arabia or the Gulf monarchies responsible for funding extreme Sunni jihadi groups and propagandists supporting them through private donations.
Glenn Greenwald: U.S., British Media Are 'Devoted Servants' To Government
Monday, December 30, 2013 No comments
Journalist Glenn Greenwald did not hold back Friday in criticizing the media during a speech about his work with Edward Snowden.
Greenwald, who reported on the National Security Agency's secret domestic surveillance programs with the help of documents leaked by the former NSA contractor, spoke to the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany, via satellite from Brazil. According to Russia Today, he denounced journalists in the United States and Britain, accusing them of failing to challenge those in political power and of discrediting anyone who dared to do so.
"[W]e knew in particular that one of our most formidable adversaries was not simply going to be the intelligence agencies on which we were reporting and who we were trying to expose, but also their most loyal, devoted servants, which calls itself the United States and British media," Greenwald said.
He said that the NSA programs came to light "almost entirely without them and despite them." Their role as journalists, Greenwald claimed, "is not to be adversarial, their role is to be loyal spokespeople to those powerful factions that they pretend to exercise oversight."
Al Qaeda-linked Yusuf Al Qadi and Osama Khoutub, who are among suspects in a major graft probe, has reportedly fled Turkey after the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) blocked a police raid on Wednesday as İstanbul police didn't comply with orders of prosecutors to detain several suspects in the second leg of the investigation
Gulen and Erdogan now at odds
The İstanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has ordered the detention of 30 suspects, including a number of deputies and businessmen. The İstanbul Police Department, which saw an extensive purge of its top officers over the last week, has not complied with the order, however.
News reports suggest that when the list of 30 suspects leaked to media on Wednesday, some of the suspects took precautionary measures to avoid any allegation in case of a police raid to their houses and offices.
And some suspects fled Turkey, including al Qaeda's Turkey operatives Yusuf Al Qadi and Osama Khoutub after government blocked the investigation through newly appointed police chiefs who didn't comply with court decision.
Prosecutor Muammer Akkaş who was leading the second round of the probe was taken away from the case. "All my colleagues and the public should know that as a public prosecutor I was prevented from carrying out the investigation," the prosecutor said in a statement on Thursday, adding that pressure had clearly been placed on the judiciary both from the Public Prosecutor's Office and the police, allowing an opportunity for suspects to destroy the evidence.
Akkaş said although he issued detention and search warrants for the suspects and relayed these to the İstanbul Police Department on Wednesday morning, the police department had not complied with his orders.
"By not implementing the court decisions, police chiefs committed a crime. An opportunity was given to suspects to take measures, escape or mitigate the evidence," he said.
Saudi businessman Al Qadi's assests was frozen in Turkey after he was named as financer of terrorism in international community. News reports point out that the al Qaeda suspect is allowed to enter Turkey freely and has access to high-level diplomats and security officials, including the Undersecretary of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) Hakan Fidan.
According to claims, former Justice Minister Sadullah Ergin, who left his post on Wednesday in a major Cabinet reshuffle, asked İstanbul Chief Public Prosecutor to close the case.
The Home Secretary: revoked the British citizenship of 20 people this year to prevent the return of dual-nationals who have gone to fight in Syria
Secret use of citizenship-stripping powers has been dramatically stepped up as Theresa May moves to prevent the return of dual-nationals who have gone to fight in Syria.
The Home Secretary has so far revoked the British citizenship of 20 people this year – more than in her previous two- and-a-half years combined.
She has removed the citizenship of 37 people since May 2010, according to figures collated by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Critics warned the practice could leave individuals at risk of torture and ill-treatment in their home countries.
Security sources are particularly alarmed because Syria's proximity to Europe makes it easier for violent UK-based extremists to travel to and from the country.
A former senior Foreign Office official said it was an "open secret" that British nationals fighting in the Syrian civil war were increasingly losing their citizenship.
He told the Bureau: "This [deprivation of citizenship] is happening. There are somewhere between 40 and 240 Brits in Syria, and we are probably not as quick as we should be to strip their citizenship."
AKP corruption probe: Turkey's recent past is filled with political parties that were swept to power thanks to their promises to root out corruption in the country but which disappeared from the political scene due to claims of corruption and fraud in their own ranks
Sunday, December 22, 2013 No comments
Corruption, a large and troublesome problem for Turkey, led to the demise of several governments in the past and analysts warn that the same fate might await the Justice and Development Party (AK Party), some of whose members have been targeted as part of a major bribery and fraud operation along with dozens of businessmen and bureaucrats, unless the party proves itself "clean."
Turkey's recent past is filled with political parties that were swept to power thanks to their promises to root out corruption in the country but which disappeared from the political scene due to claims of corruption and fraud in their own ranks.
"Turkish people are very sensitive about corruption. They consider corruption to be 'exploiting the poor and orphans.' Many political parties suffered losses in their votes and power due to claims of corruption and fraud. Furthermore, some others were shut down due to the same claims," stated Nazlı Ilıcak, a veteran journalist, in remarks to Sunday's Zaman.
On Dec. 17, İstanbul and Ankara police staged dawn raids and detained over 50 people as part of a major investigation into claims of corruption and bribery. Among the detainees were bureaucrats, well-known businesspeople and the sons of three ministers. Allegations emerged that several ministers were also implicated in bribery. The suspects are accused of rigging state tenders, accepting and facilitating bribes for major urbanization projects, obtaining construction permits for protected land areas in exchange for money, helping foreigners to obtain Turkish citizenship through falsified documents, involvement in export fraud, forgery of documents and gold smuggling. There are also claims that the suspects illegally sold historical artifacts that were unearthed during excavations of the Marmaray underwater rail project that connects Europe and Asia.
The corruption and bribery investigation drew a harsh reaction from the AK Party and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defined it as a "dirty operation" against the government. Twenty-nine senior police officials from the İstanbul and Ankara police departments who had been ordered by the prosecutor's office to conduct the investigation were immediately removed from their posts and two new prosecutors were appointed to the investigation. The removals and the appointment of new prosecutors led to comments from legal experts that efforts were under way to impede the investigation.
In addition, the graft investigation brought up questions about the government's ability to fight corruption.
Masked Army: Jihadist Group Expands Rapidly in Syria
The sender was unidentified, but the young engineer knew who the email was from as soon as he opened the attachment. Beneath a picture of the brutally mutilated corpse of Muhannad Halaibna, a civil rights activist known throughout the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, was a single sentence: "Are you sad now about your friend?"
Mere hours later, the engineer and 20 other members of the Syrian opposition -- doctors, city council members and activists -- escaped from Raqqa into Turkey. They weren't fleeing Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, but a new and terrible power that has no face and goes by many names. The official name of this al-Qaida branch, which has broken away from Osama Bin Laden's successors, is the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS). "Daaisch" is the most common abbreviation of the group's name in Syria. "But we call them the Army of Masks," says Basil, the engineer who fled the country, "because their men rarely show their faces. They dress in black, with their faces covered."
In addition to civil rights activist Halaibna, the group's thugs have kidnapped hundreds of others in Raqqa, where Assad's army was driven out back in March. The jihadists seized the chair of the city council, the heads of the civilian opposition, an Italian Jesuit and six European journalists. Anyone who opposes the ISIS fighters, or who is simply considered an unbeliever, disappears.
Up to 11,000 Foreign Fighters in Syria; Steep Rise Among Western Europeans
Wednesday, December 18, 2013 No comments
The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation offers its latest assessment of how many foreigners are fighting in Syria's civil war, which countries they hail from, and other key data.
Since ICSR published its first estimate in April, the issue of foreign fighters in Syria has become a major concern for Western governments. More reports have emerged since, though few have accurately gauged the full extent and evolution of the phenomenon.
This ICSR Insight provides an update of our April estimate, offering the most comprehensive and richly resourced account of the Syrian foreign fighter phenomenon from open sources. Based on more than 1,500 sources, we estimate that up to 11,000 individuals from 74 nations have become opposition fighters in Syria -- nearly double our previous estimate. Among Western Europeans, the number has more than tripled from (up to) 600 in April to 1,900 now.
HOW MANY HAVE GONE?
We estimate that -- from late 2011 to 10 December 2013 -- between 3,300 and 11,000 individuals have gone to Syria to fight against the Assad government. These figures include those who are currently present as well as those who have since returned home, been arrested or killed.
Based on the credibility of various sources, our own judgement, and the feedback we have received since publishing our April estimate, we believe the "true" figure to be above 8,500. This would mean that the numbers have nearly doubled since April, with a particularly steep increase among non-Arabs, especially Westerners.
While Arabs and Europeans continue to represent the bulk of foreign fighters (up to 80 per cent), we have identified individuals from Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, and (non-Arab) Africa. Overall, we believe that residents and citizens from at least 74 countries have joined militant opposition groups in Syria.

Zarqawi's Cubs: Extremist Syrian faction touts training camp for boys
By Joby Warrick
At first glance, the training camp appears no different from the many others shown in propaganda videos posted by al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria. Hooded recruits in camouflage shoot at targets or march in formation under the black flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
But look closer and the "fighters" appear quite small. The tallest are barely chest-high to their instructors, and the shorter ones wear ill-fitting uniforms and appear to struggle under the weight of their weapons. A photo of the recruits without their hoods confirms that all of them are young boys.
They are "Zarqawi's Cubs," the youth brigade of Syria's most fearsome Islamist rebel group and one of the newest manifestations of al-Qaeda's deepening roots in rebel-controlled sections of the country. Building on earlier efforts to expand their influence in Syrian schools, radical Islamists appear to be stepping up efforts to indoctrinate and train children, some as young as 10, according to independent experts who have studied the phenomenon.
The establishment of the Zarqawi's Cubs camp — revealed in a video posted last month by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS — is viewed as particularly worrisome because of the similarities to Iraq's "Birds of Paradise." That brigade was created a decade ago by the same terrorist group, in its earlier incarnation as al-Qaeda in Iraq, to train children for military missions, including suicide bombings.
"This is the future threat," said Steven Stalinsky, executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington nonprofit organization that has tracked the exploitation of children by Syrian fighting groups over the past two years. "These are the children of al-Qaeda."
U.N. agencies and human rights groups have accused multiple Syrian factions — including secularist rebels and pro-government militias — of recruiting children for military roles ranging from scouting to actual combat.
Researchers from Human Rights Watch interviewed boys as young as 14 who were used to transport weapons or serve as lookouts. Even younger children were put to work loading bullets into magazines for assault rifles, said Sarah Margon, acting director of the group's Washington office.
"It's something that children often do because their fingers are smaller," Margon said. But such practical considerations aside, "for those looking to indoctrinate, it is a ripe setting for indoctrination," she added.
The Obama administration last year imposed restrictions on some of its nonmilitary aid to Syria in part because of concerns about the use of child soldiers. Invoking a 2008 law forbidding assistance to countries that use child soldiers, the administration approved restrictions on certain types of nonmilitary aid to Syria as well as the Central African Republic, Burma, Sudan and six other countries, according to State Department documents.
Turkey admits export of rifles to Syria 'for sports'; 47 tons of weaponry
No weapons intended for war have been exported to Syria in 2013, Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz has said, while acknowledging that weapons "without military uses" for use in sports activities have been exported to Syria, indirectly acknowledging a recent report by daily Hürriyet.
47 tons of weaponry
Turkey has sent over 47 tons of weaponry to the Syrian rebels since June, according to documents filed by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK) and also filed under the United Nations trade records, despite repeated denials from government ranks, daily Hürriyet reported over the weekend.
In September alone, 29 tons of military equipment was sent to opposition fighters, according to the same documentation.
The news report by Hürriyet had earlier noted that those pieces of military equipment were listed in the U.N.'s Comtrade database under code 9303: "Other firearms and similar devices that operate by the firing of an explosive charge, such as sporting shotguns and rifles, muzzle-loading firearms, revolvers, pistols and other devices designed to project only signal flares."
Iraqi Deputy PM Hussain al-Shahristani welcomes recent deals between Turkey and the KRG, but stresses that Baghdad 'shouldn't be marginalized'
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Hussain al-Shahristani has welcomed recent agreements between Turkey and the Iraqi Kurdish administration on oil and natural gas exports to Turkey, provided that the central government in Baghdad is not marginalized in any such agreements.
"We support and seek to increase our oil and future natural gas exports to Turkey," al-Shahristani told Anadolu Agency in an interview. "This is something that we seek to achieve."
However, al-Shahristani stressed that the quantities of Iraqi oil exported to Turkey must be known to the central government, oil must be sold at international market prices, and revenues from oil sales must be channeled to the account of the Iraq Development Fund in New York, in line with previous U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Pope Francis says trickle-down economics do not help the poor, says he is not a Marxist, but defends criticism of capitalism
"Never be afraid of tenderness"
In this exclusive interview, Pope Francis speaks about Christmas, hunger in the world, the suffering of children, the reform of the Roman Curia, women cardinals, the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), and the upcoming visit to the Holy Land
"The ideology of Marxism is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don't feel offended," Francis was quoted as saying. Defending his criticism of the "trickle-down" theory of economics, he added: "There was the promise that once the glass had become full it would overflow and the poor would benefit. But what happens is that when it's full to the brim, the glass magically grows, and thus nothing ever comes out for the poor ... I repeat: I did not talk as a specialist but according to the social doctrine of the church. And this does not mean being a Marxist."
Radical Islamists embedded among the rebels in Syria are reportedly targeting foreign journalists for abduction
Radical Islamists embedded among the rebels in Syria are reportedly targeting foreign journalists for abduction. Instead of holding them for ransom, however, they use them as trump cards in their power struggles with more moderate rebel groups.
It was Sept. 16. The two Spaniards had almost made it to safety. Journalists Javiar Espinosa and Ricardo García, as well as their escorts, fighters with the Free Syrian Army, were hardly 15 minutes by car from the Turkish border when they were stopped at the last checkpoint within Syrian territory and abducted.
Some of their escorts were subsequently freed. From them, it is known that the men at the checkpoint were members of the extremist rebel group "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS).
The two Spaniards were a big catch for the radical Islamists. Since early last summer, ISIS and other extremist groups have apparently shifted their strategy and begun targeting foreign reporters for abduction. On Tuesday, Ayman Mhanna, executive director of the Beirut-based SKeyes Center for Media and Cultural Freedom, said that 20 foreign journalists are being held captive in Syria. Some of the missing journalists are in the hands of the regime, he added, but the majority are captives of extremist groups.
And these are not the only missing reporters. In addition to foreign journalists, Mhanna says, about 10 Syrian journalists have been kidnapped and are being held. Since fighting broke out in the spring of 2011, roughly 55 journalists have lost their lives in Syria.
Free Syrian Army Gen. Salim Idris fled to Qatar through Turkey, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal
Salim Idris
The top Western-backed Syrian rebel commander fled the country after Islamist militant fighters ran him out of his headquarters, U.S. officials said.
Free Syrian Army Gen. Salim Idris flew to the Qatari capital of Doha Sunday after fleeing to Turkey, the officials told the Wall Street Journal.
"He fled as a result of the Islamic Front taking over his headquarters," a senior U.S. official said.
An Islamic Front spokesman said Idris, an East German-trained electronics professor who was a Syrian army general until he defected to the rebel side in July 2012, fled to Turkey.
The New York Times said Idris flew temporarily to Doha but was now back in Turkey, where he has a house.
The 13-month-old U.S.-backed Syrian National Coalition, which supports the FSA, is based in Doha.
The Obama administration is urging Idris to return to Syria, the U.S. officials told the Journal.
The ultraconservative Islamic Front also took over key warehouses holding lethal and non-lethal weapons intended for moderate fighters in northern Syria, the White House said.
The warehouses were controlled by the Supreme Military Council, the moderate opposition umbrella group that includes the FSA and coordinates U.S. aid distribution, the White House said.
U.S., Britain suspend aid to north Syria after Islamists seize weapons store
Nusra fighters transporting weapons and munitions
The United States and Britain suspended non-lethal aid to northern Syria after Islamist fighters seized Western-backed rebel weapons warehouses, highlighting fears that supplies could end up in the wrong hands and the general chaos engulfing the nation.
The rebel Free Syrian Army fighting President Bashar al-Assad said the U.S. and British moves were rushed and mistaken. "We hope our friends will rethink and wait for a few days when things will be clearer," FSA spokesman Louay Meqdad said.
The suspension underlines a crisis for the FSA leadership which needs international backing to reinforce its credibility and to stop its fighters joining powerful al Qaeda-backed Islamist militants who now dominate the war with Assad.
The United States and Britain have in the past offered radios, body armor, medical supplies, money and food to rebels fighting Assad, but a U.S. embassy spokesman in Turkey declined to give details of what supplies may have been halted.
Fighters from the Islamic Front, which groups six major rebel brigades and which said last week it had quit the FSA, seized headquarters of the Syrian Military Council, nominally in charge of the FSA, and weapons warehouses at the Bab al-Hawa crossing on Syria's northwestern border with Turkey.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based anti-Assad monitoring group, said the Islamic Front had seized dozens of 'Shilka' anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank rockets from the SMC arms stores in fighting on Friday and Saturday.
Saudi Arabia migrant expulsions: 'They beat us. I want to warn others not to go'
Abdulla Shahmola trudges up the road leading from Addis Ababa airport to the outskirts of the city, his battered black suitcase balanced precariously on his head. Weariness and relief are etched into his delicate features as he heaves his heavy bag to the floor. "I have so many possessions that I had to leave behind in Saudi Arabia – a television, a bed, a fridge," he laments, adding that he is thankful to be back in Ethiopia.
Abdulla is one of hundreds of men, women and children steadily streaming from the airport cargo terminal, where up to 20 flights have been arriving daily from Jeddah and Riyadh since 13 November. A kilometre's walk from the hastily erected transit centre, which has been processing some 7,000 returning migrants each day, a small crowd, held back by federal police officers in blue military fatigues, waits anxiously for a glimpse of a loved one.
As of 8 December, 115,465 Ethiopians – 72,780 men, 37,092 women and 5,593 children, 202 of whom were unaccompanied – had returned from Saudi Arabia, according to government figures. The migrants, most of whom were in Saudi Arabia without work permits, were expelled after a tightening of labour regulations in March and the expiration of an amnesty for illegal workers on 4 November.
More than a million migrant workers from across Asia have been expelled from the kingdom as part of the crackdown, which is designed to get more Saudis into jobs and reduce the high unemployment rate.
The crackdown has triggered clashes in the capital, Riyadh, in which three Ethiopians were reportedly killed, sparking outrage in Ethiopia.
"They beat us," alleges Abdulla. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out his mobile phone and opens images of badly beaten Ethiopians, singling out one man whose throat appears to have been slit. His friends do the same, thrusting forward their mobiles. "I saw people killed. They are murderers," he hisses.
Whose sarin: The Syrian army is not the only party in the country's civil war with access to sarin
Seymour M. Hersh
Barack Obama did not tell the whole story this autumn when he tried to make the case that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. In some instances, he omitted important intelligence, and in others he presented assumptions as facts. Most significant, he failed to acknowledge something known to the US intelligence community: that the Syrian army is not the only party in the country's civil war with access to sarin, the nerve agent that a UN study concluded – without assessing responsibility – had been used in the rocket attack. In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports, culminating in a formal Operations Order – a planning document that precedes a ground invasion – citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad.
In his nationally televised speech about Syria on 10 September, Obama laid the blame for the nerve gas attack on the rebel-held suburb of Eastern Ghouta firmly on Assad's government, and made it clear he was prepared to back up his earlier public warnings that any use of chemical weapons would cross a 'red line': 'Assad's government gassed to death over a thousand people,' he said. 'We know the Assad regime was responsible … And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike.' Obama was going to war to back up a public threat, but he was doing so without knowing for sure who did what in the early morning of 21 August.
With Iran, Obama can end America's long war for the Middle East
President Obama calling President Rouhani
By Andrew J. Bacevich, Boston University
Andrew J. Bacevich is a professor of history and international relations at Boston University and the author of "Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country."
What Jimmy Carter began, Barack Obama is ending. Washington is bringing down the curtain on its 30-plus-year military effort to pull the Islamic world into conformity with American interests and expectations. It's about time.
Back in 1980, when his promulgation of the Carter Doctrine launched that effort, Carter acted with only a vague understanding of what might follow. Yet circumstance — the overthrow of the shah in Iran, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan — compelled him to act. Or more accurately, the domestic political uproar triggered by those events compelled the president, facing a tough reelection campaign, to make a show of doing something. What ensued was the long-term militarization of U.S. policy throughout the region.
Now, without fanfare, President Obama is effectively revoking Carter's doctrine. The U.S. military presence in the region is receding. When Obama posited in his second inaugural address that "enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war," he was not only recycling a platitude; he was also acknowledging the folly and futility of the enterprise in which U.S. forces had been engaged. Having consumed vast quantities of blood and treasure while giving Americans little to show in return, that enterprise is now ending.
Like Carter in 1980, Obama finds himself with few alternatives. At home, widespread anger, angst and mortification obliged Carter to begin girding the nation to fight for the greater Middle East. To his successors, Carter bequeathed a Pentagon preoccupied with ramping up its ability to flex its muscles anywhere from Egypt to Pakistan. The bequest proved a mixed blessing, fostering the illusion that military muscle, dexterously employed, might put things right. Today, widespread disenchantment with the resulting wars and quasi-wars prohibits Obama from starting new ones.
Successive military disappointments, not all of Obama's making, have curbed his prerogatives as commander in chief. Rather than being the decider, he ratifies decisions effectively made elsewhere. In calling off a threatened U.S. attack on Syria, for example, the president was acknowledging what opinion polls and Congress (not to mention the British Parliament ) had already made plain: Support for any further military adventures to liberate or pacify Muslims has evaporated. Americans still profess to love the troops. But they've lost their appetite for war.
Mass murder in the Middle East is funded by our friends the Saudis

Shi`a victims of suicide attacks
World View: Everyone knows where al-Qa'ida gets its money, but while the violence is sectarian, the West does nothing
Donors in Saudi Arabia have notoriously played a pivotal role in creating and maintaining Sunni jihadist groups over the past 30 years. But, for all the supposed determination of the United States and its allies since 9/11 to fight "the war on terror", they have showed astonishing restraint when it comes to pressuring Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies to turn off the financial tap that keeps the jihadists in business.
Compare two US pronouncements stressing the significance of these donations and basing their conclusions on the best intelligence available to the US government. The first is in the 9/11 Commission Report which found that Osama bin Laden did not fund al-Qa'ida because from 1994 he had little money of his own but relied on his ties to wealthy Saudi individuals established during the Afghan war in the 1980s. Quoting, among other sources, a CIA analytic report dated 14 November 2002, the commission concluded that "al-Qa'ida appears to have relied on a core group of financial facilitators who raised money from a variety of donors and other fund-raisers primarily in the Gulf countries and particularly in Saudi Arabia".
Seven years pass after the CIA report was written during which the US invades Iraq fighting, among others, the newly established Iraq franchise of al-Qa'ida, and becomes engaged in a bloody war in Afghanistan with the resurgent Taliban. American drones are fired at supposed al-Qa'ida-linked targets located everywhere from Waziristan in north-west Pakistan to the hill villages of Yemen. But during this time Washington can manage no more than a few gentle reproofs to Saudi Arabia on its promotion of fanatical and sectarian Sunni militancy outside its own borders.
Don't Sanitize Nelson Mandela: He's Honored Now, But Was Hated Then: If we turn the late South African leader into a nonthreatening moral icon, we'll forget a key lesson from his life: America isn't always a force for freedom
Now that he's dead, and can cause no more trouble, Nelson Mandela is being mourned across the ideological spectrum as a saint. But not long ago, in Washington's highest circles, he was considered an enemy of the United States. Unless we remember why, we won't truly honor his legacy.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan placed Mandela's African National Congress on America's official list of "terrorist" groups. In 1985, then-Congressman Dick Cheney voted against a resolution urging that he be released from jail. In 2004, after Mandela criticized the Iraq War, an article in National Review said his "vicious anti-Americanism and support for Saddam Hussein should come as no surprise, given his longstanding dedication to communism and praise for terrorists." As late as 2008, the ANC remained on America's terrorism watch list, thus requiring the 89-year-old Mandela to receive a special waiver from the secretary of State to visit the U.S.
Syrian rebels consider joining forces with regime troops to fight al-Qa'ida
The spectre is looming of a second Syrian civil war with the head of the opposition's official forces declaring that he is prepared to join regime troops in the future to drive out al-Qa'ida-linked extremists who have taken over swathes of rebel-held territories.
General Salim Idris, the commander of the Free Syrian Army warned that in particular Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham), with thousands of foreign fighters in its ranks, was "very dangerous for the future of Syria" and needs to be confronted before it becomes even more powerful.
Western security agencies now believe that Syria poses the most potent threat of terrorism in Europe and the US from where hundreds of Muslims have gone to join the jihad. MI5 and Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch recently tackled the first case of men sent from there specifically to carry out attacks in London.
One senior Western intelligence official stressed that the Syrian regime's forces must be preserved for the battles ahead against the Islamists and the need to avoid the mistakes made in Iraq and Libya, where the army and police were disbanded with the fall of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, allowing terrorist groups to rise in a security vacuum.
The official held that talks between the regime and rebels set to take place in Geneva in January could be the beginning of the formation of an anti-al-Qa'ida front in Syria, along with a negotiated settlement to end the conflict which has claimed more than 117,000 lives so far and made millions refugees inside and outside the country.
Speaking in Istanbul, General Idris, a former officer in the regime's army, said he and his associates were dropping the precondition that Bashar al-Assad must leave power before the Geneva meeting takes place. Instead they would be satisfied if his departure were to take place "at the end of the negotiation process" when General Idris will join forces with the remainder of the regime to mount an offensive against the Islamists.
Study: Muslim job candidates may face discrimination in Republican states
A new study by Carnegie Mellon University found that in the most Republican states in the country, employers may be less likely to interview job candidates whose social networking profiles indicate that the applicants are Muslim.
As part of a social experiment, the researchers created four fictitious job candidates – each with a unique name that most likely points to someone who is male, U.S. born and Caucasian. The candidates had identical resumes. The researchers also created social network profiles for each of the candidates that revealed either his sexual orientation or whether he was a Muslim or Christian. All other information, including the profile photograph used for each candidate, was the same. The resumes, which did not mention the candidates' online profile, were then sent out to more than 4,000 employers nationwide with job openings.
Readers should note that the study's authors did not design the pool of open jobs to be representative of all jobs available in the country, or in Republican-leaning or Democrat-leaning states. The number of job vacancies varied from state to state, and overall, a smaller share of all open jobs was located in Republican states.'
Algerian daily al-Shorouq: "The Algerian security services have conducted a careful investigation into the networks which recruit Salafis to fight against Houthis in Yemen"
The investigations have been carried out after three people were killed in Wadi al-Souf region in Yemen, it reported.
"There is information showing that certain sides in an Arab country recruit forces in Algeria and pay them huge sums of money up to $8,000 to use them in different conflicts," the newspaper said.
Other media reports in November also said that Salafi Takfiris continue invasion of Houthi-populated areas in Northern Yemen, killing large groups of them recently.
The clashes broke out in Damaj region of the border province of Sa'ada in October when after several attacks by the Salafis, the Shiite Houthi fighters, who control much of the bordering province, accused their Sunni Salafi rivals of recruiting thousands of foreign fighters in preparation of a large-scale war, and raided the Salafis' Damaj mosque which resulted in the death of one person and injury of seven others, al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper reported.
According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), about 200 to 600 people have been wounded so far.
The two sides declared ceasefire two weeks ago, but it lasted only for two hours.
Addressing the National Dialogue Conference in Yemen, Spokesman of Houthis Ali Al-Bakhiti said that after few hours the ceasefire was broken because Director of Salafis Training Center in Damaj Sheikh Ali Al-Bakhiti could not take control of his foreign armed rebels near Damaj.
Al-Bakhiti reiterated that the clashes are going on between the Houthis and the Salafis in Damaj.
Sectarian rivalry between Salafi Takfiris and Houthis is feared to ignite the fire of civil war in Yemen which is also influenced by foreign meddling, specially by Saudi Arabia.
The continued turmoil on several fronts in the country has risen the alarms of civil war in the country.
The recent events in Damaj have created concern among the Yemeni activists and analysts. "The main goal of these conflicts is feared to be igniting sectarian war," Yemeni Rights Activist Ali Al-Deilami told FNA in November.
He blamed the Saudi media for the exacerbation of conflicts between Salafis and Houthis, and said publication of the remarks uttered by some Saudi muftis who call for Salafis' Jihad against the Shiites is threatening and dangerous.
Deilami called on the Yemeni people to keep united against the foreign meddling which seeks to wage a sectarian war in the country.
Sa'ada province is the base for a long-running Houthi fight against the government. Complaining of social, religious and economic discrimination in Yemen, the Houthis fought several battles with government forces between 2004 and 2010, when a truce was announced.
Houthis have been holding demonstrations since June 9, when National Security guards opened fire on a group of protesters, killing 13 of them and wounding 100 others during a demonstration outside the headquarters of the National Security Intelligence Agency in Sana'a. They demand justice for those members of their community who were killed by regime forces.
The protesters were demanding the dismantling of the agency because of its involvement in the suppression of political activists under ousted dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh. The protesters were also demanding the release of the Houthis being held by the authorities.
Human Rights Watch has demanded an investigation into the killings.
Yemen's Houthi population has long been protesting the oppression and discrimination by Yemen's Saudi-backed government.
The Houthi movement draws its name from the tribe of its founding leader Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi.
The Free Syrian Army began as a simple group of fighters battling Assad. But Ruth Sherlock, in Antakya, finds their mission is now making millions from bribery and extortion
The Free Syrian Army commander leant against the door of his four-wheel drive BMW X5 with tinted windows and watched as his men waded through the river on the Syrian border moving the barrels of smuggled petroleum to Turkey.
Feeling the smooth wedge of American bank notes he had just been given in exchange, he was suddenly proud of everything he had become.
In three short years he had risen from peasant to war lord: from a seller of cigarettes on the street of a provincial village to the ruler of a province, with a rebel group to man his checkpoints and control these lucrative smuggling routes.
The FSA, a collection of tenuously coordinated, moderately Islamic, rebel groups was long the focus of the West's hopes for ousting President Bashar al-Assad.
But in northern Syria, the FSA has now become a largely criminal enterprise, with commanders more concerned about profits from corruption, kidnapping and theft than fighting the regime, according to a series of interviews with The Sunday Telegraph.

Australia's COVID-19 cases continue to rise despite draconian lockdowns
New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, recently reported 478 new cases of COVID-19 and 7 deaths in a 24-hour period despite an ongoing hard lockdown.
There were also 19 reports of new cases in Canberra, which imposed its first lockdown in more than a year last week. The lockdown has already been extended by two weeks as paranoia regarding the delta variant continues.
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews asserted that authorities will not hesitate to go "door-to-door" to help carry out mandatory coronavirus (COVID-19) tests. He also doubled down on his commitment to pursue a "Zero COVID" policy, which requires economy-crushing lockdowns in response to a handful of new cases.
Andrews also indicated that those who refuse to take the vaccine could be forced to submit to lockdown rules indefinitely. One Australian claimed he was involuntarily taken to a mental institution for having a different opinion about the current situation and reportedly for "refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine." The patient was told that he had suffered a nervous breakdown.
"This is a difficult conversation to have with people now, in an almost threatening tone, when people who want to get vaccinated can't because we don't have enough stuff. There will come a time though when I think restrictions will apply to those who have not been vaccinated, rather than restrictions applying to all of us," he said.
Australia's draconian policies are proven ineffective
Sydney, Australia's largest city by population, was the first to enter lockdown seven weeks ago but with little to no success in mitigating the spread of the disease. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said that this has been so far the worst situation in the state since day one of the pandemic.
As the situation continues to escalate, it is becoming more unlikely that Sydney will end its nine-week lockdown on August 28 as originally planned. Authorities, however, had been talking about easing some restrictions if people get vaccinated or if the number of cases falls.
Hundreds of military personnel will be deployed to help enforce lockdowns as the outbreak spreads.
The state of Victoria, which includes Melbourne, also tightened its lockdown restrictions and imposed curfews. The Northern territory went into a 72-hour lockdown after the discovery of a single asymptomatic infection. (Related: Australia to send more troops to Sydney following a single COVID-19 case.)
There are no changes regarding the four essential reasons when people are allowed to leave the home. These essential reasons include shopping for food or other essential goods and services. However, individuals must shop within 5 kilometers of home in greater Sydney.
Those in need of medical care of compassionate needs can also leave home, including those who want to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Exercising outdoors is also allowed, provided that it is in groups of two and no further than the 5-kilometer imposed area. Essential workers and students can also leave home if they cannot work or study from home.
New South Wales increases fines for people breaching restrictions
There's an ever-growing weariness as to how the Australian government is managing the COVID-19 outbreak. Those who remain locked down say that the confined quarters are leading to mental health and anxiety problems. The daily news of expanding case numbers, canceled plans and bypassed opportunities are taking their toll.
The NSW government also increased fines for people found breaching restrictions. Beginning Monday, August 16, on-the-spot penalties include A$5,000 ($3,583) for breaching self-isolation rules; A$5,000 ($3,583) for lying on a permit, which is a criminal offense; A$5,000 ($3,583) for lying to a contact tracer, also already a criminal offense; A$3,000 ($2,164) for breaching the two-person outdoor exercise/recreation rule; and $3,000 ($2,164) for breaching rules around entry into regional NSW.

You've just had a tough day at the office, dealt with horrible traffic, you're hungry and just want to plant yourself in a chair and read a book or catch a football game – and that's all fine and dandy! Just don't forget that while you were away your little furry pal has been waiting for you to come home. In between naps, they've looked out the window, listened for your car, waited for your footsteps and then, like children, they greet you at the door so excited, as if they haven't seen you in ages!!
Take a moment to greet everyone in your family, including your pet!
It means quite a bit to them. It will also help you unwind. There's enough studies out that prove pets reduce stress so work the tender moment in to your routine! Right when you walk through the door you should stop in your tracks, set your keys and briefcase aside, and show your pet some love. Just spending as little as 5 minutes will go a long way in making them feel good and lowering your blood pressure, reducing your anxiety, and helping you relax!
Spend some time before you say goodbye for the day!
Just as important as greeting them, make sure to give them some attention before you head off for the day! Spread some toys about the house, make sure they have fresh food and water, and spend a few minutes playing with and petting them. You'll help shape both your pet and your mood for the day!


Stefflon Don has spent 2017 building on the success of last year's Real Ting mixtape. That free release introduced us to a British artist with big aspirations and a bold musical style, combining her Jamaican roots and influences with an imposing vocal delivery,On "Hurtin' Me," which is produced by Rymez (Wiley, Jeremih, Lil Yachty, Sean Paul), it's easy to see why Stefflon Don has star potential. She can do it all, showing off her vocal range.
"Hurtin' Me" is the first official single from Stefflon Don and the first we have heard since she became label mates with Migos and Lil Yachty on Quality Control Music. She's teamed up with French Montana on the track, which showcases her melodic capabilities with a largely sung vocal. Check it out above and catch up on interview with Stefflon.


At Manor Park we pride ourselves on developing the whole child. This means nurturing the children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural awareness within a creative curriculum. We want the children to be aware of the world we live in and to be able to function within it. Teaching and developing social and emotional skills plays a big part in this.
SEAL is a programme designed to develop the social and emotional skills of all pupils.
SEAL stands for Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning.
Self-awareness e.g. recognising feelings, thinking about thoughts, feelings and actions.
Managing feelings e.g. finding ways to manage feelings, how to respond to others.
Empathy e.g. recognising how others feel, respecting other people's opinions and appreciating differences.
Motivation e.g. understanding goals, keeping going when things get hard.
Social skills e.g. being a good listener, problem solving, how to say "sorry".
SEAL is taught through six themes which change each half term, with an additional theme based on bullying.


Whether you're considering relocating across town or across the country, you'll be making one major decision about your living arrangements: buying a new home or renting. Signing a lease is certainly convenient in that there are fewer worries about maintenance or repairs. You simply contact your landlord, and he or she will solve problems according to the lease. But convenience isn't the only factor, as you'll see when you look at the many reasons buying is a better option for most people.
You're making an investment that increases in value. Real estate has an excellent return on investment as compared to other assets, even if you do nothing to the place. But there's more incentive to improve upon it when that property is the house you live in – and when you renovate, you add value. Typically, you'll gain more than what you put into home improvements and you'll reap the rewards when you sell.
There are tax advantages to buying versus renting. When you buy a home, you're able to deduct mortgage interest payments when filing your income taxes every year. Plus, you can also deduct a number of expenses, so long as they qualify under the Internal Revenue Code. Energy efficient appliances, windows and other fixtures may result in tax reductions. In some cases, you're also able to avoid federal taxes on the earnings when you sell your place.
Rent can go up, while a fixed mortgage won't. Any time your lease term ends, you're subject to increases that are decided upon by your landlord. When you buy your home, you'll have the option of going with a fixed interest rate mortgage plan – which means your monthly payment will never go up or down for the duration of your loan.
Currently, interest rates and prices are low. The time to buy a home is now when you look at the state of the real estate market. Housing prices are low in many parts of the U.S. and interest rates are better than they've been in recent years.
Owning a home forces you to save. You're less likely to splurge on unnecessary purchases and travel when you have a mortgage payment to consider, so buying a home motivates you to be more financially responsible. You have an incentive to make improvements on the place you call home, as your efforts will pay off more than a new TV or pair of shoes.
You can make your place your own. When you rent, you're definitely limited in what you can do to add your personal style to the space. Many landlords won't even let you pain the walls. As a homeowner, your only limit is your imagination.
While everyone's circumstances are different, in most cases it's better to invest in a home rather than rent. Many reasons are financial in nature and they're certainly persuasive, but there are other advantages as well. For more information on the benefits of buying and how to get started with the process, consult with a mortgage professional.

Showcasing the best of Turkey: Turkishceramics and designjunction launch 'Gateways' on Granary Square
Being one of the main partners of this year's designjunction, Turkishceramics is collaborating with London-based designer Adam Nathaniel Furman, to design Gateways, a ceramic installation consisting of four gates that draw people to wander through and experience the various views at the centre of the enfilade perspective.
Set to be the central feature for Granary Square with Central Saint Martins (UAL) as a backdrop, the 4m-high and colourfully-tiled gates reference architectural interiors and facades from London's famous Underground Stations to the beautiful facades of Ottoman architecture, in a bold and contemporary language.
The site-specific installation for one of London's most popular public spaces, will showcase the best ceramic products Turkey has to offer. Reflecting the quality, strong design values and innovation of the industry, Adam Nathaniel Furman's design approach is highly-curated and creative.
