The Lobkowicz Palace
Found in the Prague Castle complex, the Lobkowicz Palace was constructed in the 16th Century, in a renaissance style. Having suffered a fire in 1541, it was reconstructed in a more austere Early Baroque style which can be seen today.
During the Second World War, the family's fortunes began to change, and the palace was seized for the first time. At the end of the war they recovered it, but during the communist regime, all their possessions, including the palace, was once again confiscated.
In 2002 the Lobkowicz palace was once again returned to the family, and following significant reconstruction in 2007, it opened its doors to the public to exhibit its history and collections to visitors.

Twitter Thread Will Make You See Why Facebook's 10 Year Challenge Meme Isn't Harmless
Author, Kate O'Neill used her platform on Twitter to encourage people participating in online activities like the recent, trending profile picture aging meme on Facebook, to slow down and think about it critically. O'Neill asks people to consider how willingly posting that information online for Facebook's seemingly sentient algorithm to digest, can have a ripple effect on society as a whole; how that information can be fed into worldwide databases, sold off to advertising agencies, and used to exploit the very people that upload it, without considering the impacts, in the process. She doesn't aim to inspire panic in this Twitter thread, but instead, she wants us to think critically when considering the fast-changing landscape of the world around us. Some solid advice!

George R.R. Martin Pens Thoughtful Sentiment on How He's Completely Done With This 'Wretched Year'
Via George R.R. Martin
You know you've crossed a line when you've got an iconically morbid author waving the white flag. We've had so many beautiful souls taken from us, and too soon at that, this year.
We just lost Carrie Fisher and Richard Adams, and George R.R. Martin finally took pen to paper to voice the rage and unrest so many of us are feeling when it comes to this damn year:
Adams was a wonderful writer. Yes, WATERSHIP DOWN was his masterpiece, but it was by no means his only great book. He wrote two terrific epic fantasies with human characters, SHARDIK and MAIA, both of which I think are criminally underrated, as well as an erotic ghost story, THE GIRL ON A SWING. His other "animal book," THE PLAGUE DOGS, also has some wonderful sections… though it is such a dark, depressing, angry, gut-punch of a novel that I can't say I 'enjoyed' it.
Adams was not 'one of us,' in the sense that he was never a convention-goer or part of our genre fantasy community, which may be why he was never honored with a life achievement award by the World Fantasy Convention. Nonetheless, he deserved one. I've been suggesting him for that honor for at least twenty years… in part because I wanted to meet him. Now I never will. That's sad (though not as sad as PLAGUE DOGS).

Saudi Media: Nine Americans Among Terror Suspects
U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby, speaking Monday, said U.S. officials have seen Saudi media reports of the detentions, and that diplomats are in contact with authorities in Riyadh. He told reporters he could not verify "the actual truth of these reports." (File photo)
Saudi Arabia Arrests Nine Americans
Authorities in Saudi Arabia have arrested nine American citizens among a sweep of 33 terror suspects, the Saudi Gazette reported.
They were arrested in a sweep, or roundup, of suspects in response to recent terrorism in the kingdom.
The U.S. State Department says it is seeking details from the government of Saudi Arabia about reports that nine Americans have been detained in the kingdom as terror suspects.
The Saudi Gazette did not say if any of those arrested were linked to the Islamic State terror group. U.S. authorities were checking names to confirm if Americans were arrested, reports said.
Also arrested were 14 Saudis, three Yemenis and two Syrians, an Indonesian, a Philippine national and three others.
The arrests took place while Saudi Arabia witnessed several deadly attacks over the past months. Friday, a suicide bomber attacked a Shi'ite mosque in the kingdom's Eastern Province, killing four.
Spokesman John Kirby, speaking Monday, said U.S. officials have seen Saudi media reports of the detentions, and that diplomats are in contact with authorities in Riyadh. He told reporters he could not verify "the actual truth of these reports."
A Saudi website run by the kingdom's foreign ministry showed a list of 5,158 suspects in detention, including eight Americans. It does not identify the Americans by name or gender. It says four of them were detained January 25.
It says four other Americans were arrested in November and December, and that all eight are "under investigation." A ninth American is shown convicted of an unidentified crime in 2007, and the website says the conviction is "subject to appeal."
Sunday's Saudi news report did not say whether any of the Americans is suspected of links to Islamic State extremists, who have claimed responsibility for several deadly attacks against Saudi security forces and minority Shi'ites in recent months.

As the first single of her upcoming album "Rise" the young R&B singer Bianca Aristía based in Leipzig, Germany chose a dramatic entrance – a song about the ups and downs of life and the phases of "Growing Pains", that change you and, despite their discomfort, create a more fulfilling life in the end. She describes her style as "Indie R&B" with various influences and her powerful voice in the center of performance.
Almost everything about "Growing Pains" is self-made. The singer wrote the song in a turbulent phase of finding who she wants to be. Thanks to her long-term experience in creating electronic music herself, she knew exactly how she wanted her music to sound. The record was produced and mixed by Bianca Aristía and Lennart Jahn, who also plays in her band, that greatly inspired the arrangement and gave it more of a live touch in the choruses. Together they created a unique sound rooted in modern R&B/Pop with influences of Rock and Hip Hop/Trap. It's a song of contrast – Beginning quiet yet suspenseful with Aristía's warm voice accompanied by an ambient pad. Loaded with emotions the singer enters the chorus showing her "Growing Pains", which she calls "the messengers of change". After the hook-line with harmonized soulful vocals, the second verse moves on surrounded by a slow hip hop beat. Aristía's expressive vocals carry deep emotions and climax with insight on what happened: "This thing you fear most is a metamorphosis paving your way towards a brand new life". Then there comes contrast and the chorus is torn apart by a screaming rock guitar and live drums symbolizing heavy waves of life hitting . The song continues with a sung rap showing off rhythmical and pithy vocals and eventually returns to a meditative and intimate part just to be torn apart one last time by a powerful chorus with the words "My heart beats out of time…".

Raise a glass because many Jersey Shore alums have a whole lot of love in their lives today.
Nearly a decade since they first burst onto the scene as Seaside Heights' resident party animals, there are plenty of updates when it comes to their cast's relationship statuses. Instead of strolling the boardwalk in search of a summer fling, many of the former cast members have gone on to find love, get married and become parents after the cameras shut off.
"This is our life now," JWoww dished to E! News last year as she snuggled her little girl Meilani. "It's kind of crazy from six, seven years ago. But this is our daily life, our daughters are our No. 1 fans and our No. 1 supporters."
In a romance that played out a bit on the show, Farley and her longtime beau Roger Matthews tied the knot in 2015 and share two children together, 3-year-old daughter, Meilani, and 1-year-old son, Greyson. Come September 2018, news would break that Farley had filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" in court documents.
Though the self-titled "Keto Guido" returned to Family Vacation in a relationship, he confirmed to E! News at the NYC premiere in April that he is once again single.
While she was the last to join the Jersey Shore crew, she's one of the first to tie the knot. Cortese and her longtime boyfriend, Christopher Buckner, said "I do" in October 2017. In July 2018, Deena announced she is pregnant with their first child. They are expecting a boy.
The cast's resident "meatball" has long ditched her days of looking for juicy Italian hunks since marrying husband Jionni LaValle in 2014. The couple have two children together, 5-year-old son, Lorenzo, and 3-year-old daughter, Giovanna.
After a tumultuous on-and-off romance with co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, the reality star is now dating fellow New Jersey native Christian Biscardi. And in order to protect her relationship, Sammi chose not to return for Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
"I have chosen not to join the show this season because I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship," she explained via an Instagram post. "I am not the same person as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS."
Sammy's former flame briefly dated Malika Haqq, then moved on with Jen Harley, with the couple welcoming their first child, a daughter, in April 2018. Later that month, they had a massive fight on social media and broke up. In June, they got into a physical altercation. They later reconciled. But things turned ugly again in October, then calmed down, and then got even uglier in January 2019, when they broke up again.
While he was quite the ladies' man on the Seaside boardwalk, in the years since the show wrapped, Sorrentino had a girlfriend, Lauren Pesce, his college sweetheart. In April 2018, they got engaged. The two wed in front of family and friends, including Jersey Shore stars, in October 2018.
The Jersey Shore star and her beau got engaged in January.
The group's dedicated mixmaster, who is a dad, dated Danity Kane alum Aubrey O'Day on and off until they called it quits for good in July 2017. When the cast reunited in Miami to film Family Vacation, he was the only one not in a committed relationship.
Which couple are you fist-pumping for?

New things are afoot: MORE BOOKS!
Welcome to the new and improved website! I officially own http://www.bitchin-fiction.com and I am officially gonna make it awesomer.
Yes. Awesomer. It's a word, because I just made it one.
I have big plans in the writing world. If these plans work out as planned (the office of redundant redundancy) I will have 4 Southern Romance novels on the e-shelves this year.
I am hoping to publish DRIVING MERCEDES by the end of March. I will keep y'all posted on exact dates. Stay tuned for a very exciting cover reveal!
Would you like to know what DRIVING MERCEDES is all about? Well, here's the blurb: (please note that the extra-cheese is free of charge.)
Mercedes "Mac" McIntyre is a tattoo-wearing Liberal photographer, about to open a controversial show in a local art gallery. She's thirty-three, single, and not really looking for a man, but if one fell into her lap, she probably wouldn't refuse him. Since Little Rock, Arkansas, is short on hot, available men right now, Mac will just happily focus on her career.
Cambridge "Cam" Brown is a linen-pant-wearing Republican determined to be elected to the state legislature. He's just recently cut ties with his ex-fiancée who hasn't quite accepted she's no longer a part of his life. And his family isn't happy with the split, especially his grandfather/campaign manager. At the age of twenty-six, Cam should be married or at least engaged. Politically speaking, a family man is a better man. At least in southern conservative politics.
Driving Mercedes maps the potholes and roadblocks of love between a conservative southern politician and an independent artist. Politics, passion, and naked pictures come together to form a scandal that Arkansas hasn't seen since a certain governor left the state. And though happily ever after may seem like a distant destination– it winds up being only a debate away.
Have a great weekend, Bitches!

US mulling partial sanctions relief to N Korea in exchange for nuclear freeze
Seoul [South Korea], Jul 12 (ANI): The United States is considering suspending certain sanctions on North Korea for 12 to 18 months in exchange for the dismantling of the entire nuclear weapons programme, including a main nuclear production facility, a source privy to White House talks said on Thursday.
If the plan does go ahead, it would see the lifting of sanctions curbing North Korea's exports of textiles and coal, considered a major source of income for the reclusive communist country and may put denuclearisation talks back on track after the collapse of the Hanoi summit in Vietnam in February.
"The White House, when working-level talks begin, wants to set the conditions whereby they can begin the process of North Korea's denuclearisation," the source told Yonhap News Agency.
The source stressed that sanctions relief could be renewed if North Korea's denuclearisation progress "moves at a good pace", but warned of re-imposition of penalties if Pyongyang does not honour its commitment.
"If it works the model could also be applied to facilities other than the main nuclear complex in Yongbyon and move in a step-by-step manner until the entire weapons of mass destruction program is fully closed and all sanctions are lifted," the source said.
The move, according to the source, is important as it will allow both North Korea and the US to build trust and confidence.
However, the source warned that the inspection and verification of the dismantling of Yongbyon nuclear facility, as well as nuclear freeze, could be "tricky", adding that a detailed agreement is needed in this regard.
The source said that a complete nuclear freeze means not producing any more fissile material and warheads.
The US could consider signing a declaration to formally end the 1950-53 Korean War if North Korea agrees to the demands, the source told the South Korean newspaper.
Both North and South Korea are technically at war as the conflict ended in an armistice agreement and not a permanent peace treaty.
"The White House is open to many ideas to incentivise the North to make what they call 'a critical first step' on denuclearisation," the source said.
"Their first goal in the talks is to prove to the North that they can trust the US and that Washington wants to do something historic to ensure the hostile intent of both sides is now firmly in the past," it added.
The source further said that North Korea additionally would be keen to establish liaison offices in each other's capital cities and a separate office would be set up to coordinate the sustained recovery of the mortal remains of American troops from the communist nation.
Denuclearisation talks between North Korea and the US hit a roadblock after the summit in Vietnam ended abruptly with no joint statement being released. The two sides reportedly failed to resolve their differences over sanction waiver.
The possibility of an agreement between the two countries suffered a setback after North Korea tested multiple short-range missiles in May as a sign of apparent frustration over the stalled negotiations and continuing sanctions.
Pyongyang has repeatedly insisted that the removal of penalties will help spur economic growth, while Washington has reaffirmed that sanctions will not be removed till the communist country completely stopped its nuclear weapons programme. (ANI)

The cheapest package holiday destinations this summer are…
Looking to get a bargain sun, sea and sand package holiday? Well, you're in luck.
We've crunched the numbers on over a hundred short- and medium-haul beach destinations to reveal the lowest-priced packages from the UK this summer. With seven-night package deals available for as little as £165pp, some of these holidays aren't far off what they would have cost 20 years ago!
For a little budget inspiration, we've rounded up the top 7 cheapest package holiday destinations for summer 2019 below.
*All deal pricing below is accurate as of April 23, 2019. Prices are subject to change. Deals are subject to the partners' T&Cs.
1. Costa Brava, Spain
Fancy a quieter break with less development than the southern Costas? The beautiful Costa Brava is the place to head.
Explore Figueres and Dali's museum or his childhood village of Cadaques. Visit medieval Girona, under an hour's drive from the coast and experience amazing architecture, food and wine (you'll find five Michelin-starred restaurants here). There are also 200kms of beaches to explore and tranquil fishing villages and pine woods and coves.
Lloret de Mar is one of the main resorts in the area and one of the cheapest in 2019. Others to consider include Calella, just 15 miles down the coast and Pemeda de Mar. The former boasts a lovely old quarter and a couple of miles of golden sand and the latter is a perfect resort for families.
Lloret de Mar from £165pp
Flights from London | Departing May 29
7 nights | 2 adults | Mix of board types
Compare deals
Pineda de Mar from £382pp
Flights from the East Midlands | Departing August 9
7 nights | Family of 4 | Mix of board types
2. Corfu, Greece
Corfu Town is one of the most beautiful cities in Greece. Its historic centre – a UNESCO World Heritage site – is a treasure trove of interesting finds thanks to its unique Venetian roots; there's two fortresses and tiny 'Mouse Island', a tree-covered islet with a stunning 13th century church at its centre.
The town is also an easy public bus ride away from most of the major resorts so even those who prefer to holiday beachside will have the chance to explore.
For travellers choosing Corfu in 2019, keep an eye out for deals to the party town of Kavos and family-friendly Sidari; they are particularly affordable this year.
Fun fact: You'll find that many people from Corfu are called Philip or Philippina – Prince Philip was born here in 1921!
Kavos from £215pp
Flights from London | Departing July 11
Sidari from £295pp
Flights from Manchester | Departing August 27
3. Atlantic Coast, Morocco
You'll need sunscreen, and lots of it, on a summer holiday to Morocco. Temperatures inland can climb as high as 45C, while the coast hovers around a cool 30C. Luckily, it's the latter that's surfacing plenty of cheap package deals for summer 2019.
Brits' favourite, Agadir, holds the crown for the cheapest deals this year. The popular resort enjoys all the trimmings you'd expect; there's a six mile-long beach, sunloungers as far as the eye can see, bars, restaurants and shopping galore and opportunities for jet-skiing and watersports. It's perfect to unwind for a week.
Meanwhile, other Atlantic Coast jewels that are worth checking out include family-friendly Asilah, pretty Oualidia and culture-packed Essaouria.
Atlantic Coast from £175pp
Flights from London | Departing June 4
4. Costa Blanca, Spain
Home of Benidorm and Alicante, the Costa Blanca was one of the first Spanish destinations to embrace the package holiday back in the 60s. Sixty years later, and Brits are still flocking here for their holidays.
Besides the well-known resorts, Calpe is a seaside resort with lovely sandy beaches, a modern seafront, and a delightful old quarter packed with gothic churches and roman ruins.
Alicante is just 45 minutes away, which makes a nice day trip. The steep walk up the hill to the 16th century Castle of Santa Barbara rewards you with stunning views over the city and the Med.
Benidorm, meanwhile, needs little introduction. With its three beaches, lively nightlife and broad range of hotel options, the star of the Costa Blanca has packages down to a tee.
Calpe from £274pp
Flights from Liverpool | Departing May 30
Benidorm from £220pp
Flights from Leeds | Departing August 28
5. Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain
Gran Canaria is an active traveller's dream: parasailing, surfing, hiking and water sports are just some of the things you can get up to during a holiday on the "mini continent". But, equally, you can just relax by the pool or on a sandy beach.
And with a hire car, (make sure you compare prices online and book it before you leave the UK to get the best rates) you can get away from all the action by venturing into the interior of the island with its white-washed villages and nature reserves. This is where you'll find the best hiking routes.
The island is a sea foodie's dream and if you want to try a local specialty, try papas arrugadas – wrinkly potatoes with red chilli garlic sauce – they are delicious.
Gran Canaria from £275pp
Flights from Birmingham | Departing July 8
Flights from London | Departing August 7
6. Costa del Sol, Spain
There's a reason why we just can't get enough of Spain's Costa del Sol: it never fails to deliver on fun and affordable family holidays.
And even 50 years after entering the orbit of sun-seeking Brits, the 'Sun Coast' has lots going on. There's swanky Marbella, with its reputation for everything extravagant and the bustling port city of Malaga – the birthplace of Picasso.
On the cheaper end are resorts such as Nerja. Nestled between sierra and sea, the once-sleepy fishing village enjoys all the facilities of larger resorts without losing its traditional charm.
For a holiday with the kids, try Torremolinos – there's a large water park and crocodile zoo in town!
Nerja from £165pp
Torremolinos from £294pp
Flights from Bristol | Departing July 20
7. The Algarve, Portugal
Defined by its dramatic sandstone cliffs and golden beaches, it's safe to say Portugal's south coast wows.
Though you could choose almost any resort on the Algarve and have an unforgettable holiday, Portimao will offer the summer escape of a lifetime without a hefty price tag in 2019. The main beach, Praia da Rocha is worth a look, but for something a little quieter, explore the secluded coves along the coast; Praia do Vau is our pick!
Nearby Alvor, with its stunning whitewashed villas, is also on the cheaper end this year. The small fishing town enjoys far fewer visitors than its neighbour and is ideal for young families or those looking to relax away from the summer crowds.
The Algarve from £267pp
Flights from Newcastle | Departing July 1
Flights from London | Departing August 20
*Please note: The research looked at all price searches via TravelSupermarket from December 1 to February 15 (2018/2019) for holidays of 7 nights for all passenger types for departures between May 1 and September 30, 2019. All deals for couples are based on two people travelling while family deals are based on two adults and two children aged 5 and 10 travelling.

Q: How to overwrite Codeigniter 3 route to show just name instead id and name
I need a little guidance here. I'm using Codeigniter 3.
Since it is MVC fw with segment routing,  I want to know how is possible to create custom route which will show just a name of record (it can be category, product, post etc..) returned from database instead of id/name when I need id segment to identify which record from database I need to return or preview by that id.
I will post some code example:
Controller
class Categories extends CI_Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('CategoryM');
    }

    public function index(){
        $data = array(
            'category_list' => $this->CategoryM->listAll()
            );

        $this->load->view('test/category_list', $data);
    }

    public function preview()
    {
        $categoryId = $this->uri->segment(2);

        $data = array (
            'previewByCategory' => $this->CategoryM->previewByCategory($categoryId)
            );

        $this->load->view('public/preview_by_category', $data);
    }

Model
<?php

    class CategoryM extends CI_Model {

        public function listAll() {

            $query = $this->db
            ->select('*')
            ->from('categories')
            ->where('parentid', NULL, TRUE)
            ->order_by('name', 'asc')
            ->get();

            if($query->num_rows() > 0) {
                return $query->result();
            }else{
                return false;
            }

            public function previewByCategory($categoryId=''){

                $query = $this->db
                ->select( /* posts and categories data */ )
                ->from('categories')
                ->join('posts', 'posts.categoryID = categories.id', 'left')
                ->where('categories.id', $categoryId)
                ->get();
                if( $query->num_rows() > 0 ){
                    return $query->result();
                }else{
                    return false;
                }
            }

        }

View
<?php if($category_list):?>
    <?php foreach($category_list as $category):?>
        <h3>
            <a href="<?php echo base_url() . strtolower(url_title($category->name) . '/' . $category->id);?>">
                <?php echo $category->name;?>
            </a>
        </h3>
    <?php endforeach;?>
<?php endif;?>

My Routes
// Category routes
$route['categories'] = 'categories/index';
$route['(:any)/(:num)'] = 'categories/preview/$1';

What I want is instead of routes
www.mywebsite/categoryname/categoryid/

to display just
www.mywebsite/categoryname

which will list all products from that category group. But how to do this without id in url. I'm sorry if my question is too broad. Thank's in advance.

A: First you have to add column to your category table say url_title, which is unique and validate as a URI. Then you have to modify your route.php
// Category routes
$route['categories'] = 'categories/index';
$route['(:any)'] = 'categories/$1'; // $1 pass the utl_title value to Categories/preview($url_title)

and your controller
public function preview($url_title=null) {
    $categoryId = $this->uri->segment(2);

    $data = array (
        'previewByCategory' => $this->CategoryM->previewByCategory($url_title)
        );

    $this->load->view('public/preview_by_category', $data);
}

and your model
public function previewByCategory($url_title=''){
    $query = $this->db
    ->select( /* posts and categories data */ )
    ->from('categories')
    ->join('posts', 'posts.categoryID = categories.id', 'left')
    ->where('categories.url_title', $url_title)
    ->get();
    if( $query->num_rows() > 0 ){
        return $query->result();
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}

I hope this would work for you. Please be carefull my posted code will have syntax errors because I did not tested it.

A: Codeigniter does not allow you to get database access in routes.
but you can create the database instance manually.
routes.php
$slug= ($this->uri->segment(1)) ? $this->uri->segment(1) : false;
if($slug){
  //include your database
  require_once(BASEPATH."/database/DB.php");
  $db=& DB();
  $category = $this->db
              ->select('name')
              ->from('categories')
              ->where('parentid', NULL, TRUE)
              ->where('name',$slug)
              ->get()->row();
  if($category){
    //$category->name must be unique in database
    $route[$category->name] = 'categories/index';
  }

}

In Categories controller
class Categories extends CI_Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('CategoryM');
    }

    public function index(){
      echo $category_name=$this->uri->segment(1);
    }
}

URL

www.mywebsite/categoryname

//if categoryname exist in category

output :
categoryname

October 1st was a good day. From now on, I believe that I will remember that October 1st is Helio Gracie's birthday, without a reminder, and take time out of the day to give thanks and respect.
As usually, I made the morning fundamental class. It was clear that today was a special day, Helio Gracie's Birthday. The professor spent time talking about Helio on the mat and we all enjoyed the practice. There was an official celebration at the school in the evening.
" Helio believed he was not a fighter, but a teacher who fought for what he believed in.".

In this paper, the stochastic finite-difference time domain (S-FDTD) method is employed to calculate the standard deviation of specific absorption rate (SAR) in a two-dimensional (2-D) slice of human head. S-FDTD calculates both the mean and standard deviation of SAR caused by variability or uncertainty in the electrical properties of the human head tissues. The accuracy of the S-FDTD result is controlled by the approximations for correlation coefficients between the electrical properties of the tissues and the fields propagating in them. Hence, different approximations for correlation coefficients are tested in order to evaluate their effect on the standard deviation of SAR. The 1-D Monte Carlo correlation coefficient (MC-CC) approximation reported in our previous work is successfully extended to 2-D and also tested for the head model. Then, all the results are compared with that of full-fledged Monte Carlo method (considered as gold standard in statistical simulations). In order to accelerate the simulations, the proposed algorithm is run on graphics processing unit by exploiting OpenACC application program interface. Using different correlation coefficients shows that the extended 2-D MC-CC S-FDTD results are very close to that of Monte Carlo and yield more accurate results than other approximations in SAR calculations.


Former US drone operator Brandon Bryant, who was involved in the killing of more than 1600 people, says aerial strikes are conducted with complete uncertainty.
Bryant, who worked for almost five years in America's secret drone program bombing targets in Afghanistan and other countries, such as Pakistan and Iraq, said operators lacked visibility and were not sure about the identity of the people they were shooting at.
"We see silhouette, shadows of people, and we kill those shadows," said Bryant.
Bryant, who left his job in 2011, apologized to the families of the US drone victims whose deaths he was responsible for, citing that he "couldn't stand" himself for the killings.
"I'm sorry that the mistake happened. I'm doing everything that I can to prevent further mistakes from happening," he said.
Since 2001, the US has been carrying out drone attacks in several countries, including Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia. It insists that the targets of the drone attacks are militants.
Local officials and witnesses however say civilians have been the main victims of the attacks.
Data released by human rights group Reprieve, that was published last November, indicated that attempts to kill 41 targeted individuals across Pakistan and Yemen resulted in the killing of at least 1,147 people.


It's the perfect time to revel in the intoxicating floral aroma and sweet lemon flavor that only Meyer lemons can offer. If you're lucky, your backyard tree is loaded with these beauties, but if not, you will now begin to see them at your local farmers market or grocery store ready for the taking. The sweet flavor of Meyer lemons make them a natural to use in desserts, but they are also perfect for cocktails, pastas, chicken, salads and other savory dishes. The possibilities are endless. Meyer lemons might just be one of natures best inventions; so if you haven't already, fill up your grocery cart with a few of these golden gems while you can!
Meyer lemons are a cross between Eureka or Lisbon lemons and a Mandarin or orange. This variety of lemon contains less acid and has a thinner peel than your average lemon. They are also a much milder, sweeter in flavor and often have a deeper yellow almost orange tone to them.
Meyer lemons are typically at their peak from December through April.
When looking for the perfect Meyer lemon make sure it is plump and has a smooth shiny skin with a golden hue sometimes reminiscent of an egg yolk. Try to avoid picking lemons that have any blemishes, soft spots, discolorations or punctures. Lemons with a green tint to their skin are not fully ripe and should be passed up. Make sure that they feel heavy for their size and have a fragrant smell when their skin is gently rubbed. They should be firm to the touch but should give under slight pressure.
Meyer lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is crucial to the function of a strong immune system and is linked with a reduced risk of death from stroke and heart disease. They also contain great anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. Meyer lemons are high in calcium, potassium and vitamin A. One lemon contains about 30 calories of juice and is low in fat making them a great addition to a low fat diet or for use for individuals with coronary disease.
Meyer lemons can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or for about 3 weeks in the refrigerator. If you have more lemons than you can use before spoiling, squeeze the juice into ice cube trays and once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 6 months.
1 medium Meyer lemon equals about 3 tablespoons of juice.
Meyer lemons can be substituted for standard lemons in most recipes; just expect a sweeter flavor with less acid.
Meyer lemon juice, when squeezed on cut avocados or apples, can delay browning.
Vegetables like turnips, potatoes and cauliflower will keep their color in water that contains lemon juice.
Before cutting, roll your lemon firmly on a flat surface to release the juice.
Because the skin and pith of a Meyer lemon is so thin, they can often be eaten in their entirety, peel included.
If you are trying to reduce your sodium or fat intake, try squeezing fresh lemon juice in or over your dish instead of adding salt or butter.
You can store dried lemon zest in a cool and dry place in an airtight container, to use for future recipes.

Circularise named a winner of the European Innovation Council Green Deal Investor Day
Home/News, Entrepreneurship/Circularise named a winner of the European Innovation Council Green Deal Investor Day
Circularise accelerating the transition to a circular economy for the EU Green Deal
On 10-11 November 2020, the EIC organised an Investor Day dedicated to the EU Green Deal, bringing together more than 100 active participants during the two days, out of which more than 40 investors. Mesbah Sabur, Founder of Circularise, won the best pitch in the category 'Sustainable cities'.
At the beginning of the year, EU unfolded the EU Green Deal, a very ambitious action plan with the target of making Europe carbon neutral by 2050. The European Innovation Council (EIC) launched a dedicated call for green start-ups and selected 64 ambitious projects. This funding goes hand in hand with several events related to sustainability and green innovations, including last month's EIC Greenathon.
The event featured several panels dedicated to sustainability and climate tech and showcasing of some of the EIC's green tech success stories. There were also four pitching sessions divided into four categories namely 'Climate change, resources efficiencies and sustainable agri-food tech', 'Renewable energy' Sustainable cities and circular economy' and 'Green transport & Mobility'. Following a tough competition, out of the nine companies pitching per each session, one winner was selected by jury members and public.
Best pitch on Sustainable Cities
Mesbah Sabur, CEO of Circularise, won the best pitch in the category 'Sustainable cities'. Circularise's mission is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and enable sustainable practices on a mass scale by promoting reliable and standardised information on material flows and composition. Circularise helps manufacturers, brands and OEMs to trace raw materials from the source into parts and ultimately to end products.
By digitising materials, Circularise can create a digital thread through the whole supply chain, enabling material traceability, tracking the CO2 footprint and other sustainability metrics like water savings. Additionally, Circularise enables law compliance, mitigates risks across the supply chain and enables you to improve brand perception, avoid greenwashing and increase revenue.
What we are trying to do is not easy to develop and sell, it's a long-term project. To have that backing, both financially as well as from a network-perspective, is great. We've benefited from a number of European funds, and without that framework we would not be here.
Mesbah Sabur, CEO of Circularise, on the EIC-support
Circularise is a part of the EIT RawMaterials Innovation Community. The team is currently supported by the Booster funding to develop further Circularise's data exchange protocol that is deemed necessary for the overall functioning of the circular economy. Congratulations to the team and Mesbah Sabur on winning the EIC Green Deal Investor Day!

Q: Trying to understand Boost Qi parsing into structs I've got an embarrassingly simple problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around. I'm reading the boost documentation on how to parse into structs. The sample code provided for that chapter is straightforward - or so I thought. I would like to make a super simple change.
I want to split the start-rule:
start %=
    lit("employee")
    >> '{'
    >>  int_ >> ','
    >>  quoted_string >> ','
    >>  quoted_string >> ','
    >>  double_
    >>  '}'
    ;

...into two (or later more) rules, like this:
params %=
    >>  int_ >> ','
    >>  quoted_string >> ','
    >>  quoted_string >> ','
    >>  double_;

start %=
    lit("employee")
    >> '{'
    >> params
    >> '}'
    ;

No matter what I've tried I couldn't get it to parse values correctly into the employee struct. Even when I got a running program that recognized the input, the attributes didn't get written to the struct. It seems parsing only works correctly if everything is specified in the "top-level" rule. Surely, I'm mistaken?! I'll definitely need a more structured approach for the parser I actually need to implement.
Also I'm unclear what the correct type of the params rule should be. I'm thinking qi::rule<Iterator, fusion::vector<int, std::string, std::string, double>, ascii::space_type>, but my compiler didn't seem to like that very much...
I should mention that I'm working with Boost v1.46.1

A: In this situation, you could really just make params expose an employee attribute directly:
Live On Coliru
qi::rule<Iterator, employee(), ascii::space_type> params;

Biography >> History >> American Revolution
Occupation: Lawyer, Governor of Virginia
Born: May 29, 1736 in Hanover County, Virginia
Died: June 6, 1799 in Brookneal, Virginia
Best known for: Founding Father of the United States and "Give me liberty, or give me death" speech.
Patrick Henry was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a gifted speaker known for his rousing speeches and strong support for revolution against the British.
Where did Patrick Henry grow up?
Patrick Henry was born in the American colony of Virginia on May 29, 1736. His father, John Henry, was a tobacco farmer and judge. Patrick had ten brothers and sisters. As a child, Patrick like to hunt and fish. He attended the local one-room school and was tutored by his father.
Patrick Henry by George Bagby Matthews
When Patrick was just 16 years old he opened a local store with his brother William. The store was a failure, however, and the boys soon had to close it. A few years later Patrick married Sarah Shelton and started his own farm. Patrick wasn't much good as a farmer either. When his farmhouse burned down in a fire, Patrick and Sarah moved in with her parents.
Becoming a Lawyer
Living in town, Patrick realized that he liked to talk and argue politics and law. He studied law and became a lawyer in 1760. Patrick was a very successful lawyer handling hundreds of cases. He had finally found his career.
The Parson's Case
Henry's first big law case was called the Parson's Case. It was a famous case where he went up against the king of England. It all started when the people of Virginia had passed a local law. However, a local parson (like a priest) objected to the law and protested to the king. The king of England agreed with the parson and vetoed the law. The case ended up in court with Henry representing the colony of Virginia. Patrick Henry called the king a "tyrant" in court. He won the case and made a name for himself.
Virginia House of Burgesses
In 1765 Henry became a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. This was the same year the British introduced the Stamp Act. Henry argued against the Stamp Act and helped to get the Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions against the Stamp Act passed.
First Continental Congress
Henry was elected to the First Continental Congress in 1774. On March 23, 1775, Henry gave a famous speech arguing that the Congress should mobilize an army against the British. It was in this speech that he uttered the memorable phrase "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
Henry later served as a Colonel in the 1st Virginia Regiment where he led the militia against the Royal governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore. When Lord Dunmore tried to remove some gunpowder supplies from Williamsburg, Henry led a small group of militiamen to stop him. It later became known as the Gunpowder Incident.
Henry was elected the governor of Virginia in 1776. He served a number of one year terms as governor and also served on the Virginia state legislature.
After the Revolutionary War
After the war, Henry again served as governor for Virginia and on the state legislature. He argued against the initial version of the US Constitution. He did not want it passed without the Bill of Rights. Through his arguments the Bill of Rights were amended to the Constitution.
Henry retired to his plantation at Red Hill. He died of stomach cancer in 1799.
Famous Patrick Henry Quotes
"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
"I know of no way of judging the future but by the past."
"I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience."
"If this be treason, make the most of it!"
Interesting Facts About Patrick Henry
Patrick's first wife Sarah died in 1775. They had six children together before she died in 1775. He married Dorothea Dandridge, cousin of Martha Washington, in 1777. They had eleven children together.
The Hanover County Courthouse where Patrick Henry argued the Parson's Case is still an active courthouse. It's the third oldest active courthouse in the United States.
Although he called slavery "an abominable practice, destructive to liberty", he still owned over sixty slaves on his plantation.
He was against the Constitution because he was concerned that the office of the president would become a monarchy.
He was elected governor of Virginia again in 1796, but declined.

The legalities of the digital signature
March 11, 2019, 1:09 p.m.
Rian Schoeman, Etion Secure (Incorporating LAWtrust)
Digitalisation and digital transformation have seen a significant organisational shift from paper-based processes and procedures. Most organisations have adopted alternative methodologies for signing documents to ensure auditable document trails while minimising the costs associated with paper-based transactions and the risks of fraud and identity theft. However, few recognise the difference between an electronic signature and a digital signature – a critical difference that can have an impact on the legalities and security of any document trail.
"The electronic signature is usually defined as an identifying mark that can be anything from a photograph or a scan of a signature to a squiggle made on a mobile phone or tablet," explains Adv Rian Schoeman, head of Legal, LAWtrust, an Etion company. "It isn't secure. In fact, the electronic signature is at risk of fraud as it is easy to copy, move and adjust. This is particularly true of poorly executed signatures that are not easily identifiable."
To ensure deeper security, particularly with regards to highly sensitive or complex records and contracts, digital signatures are more efficient and reliable. A digital signature ensures an auditable, provable trail that can be clearly linked to a specific person and identity. Usually, a digital signature can only be used once the individual has undergone a process of identity verification which assures all parties that the right person has signed the right documentation.
"When you open a digitally signed document with a solution such as Adobe PDF reader, selecting the signature will reveal the digital certificate that outlines the individuals name, surname, and other specified identifying factors such as email and email address," says Schoeman. "These signatures are certified and legally binding."
An electronic signature, paper-based signature, photograph or email signature may have legal weight but proving that the person's intention was to be bound by that signature is an involved, complex process. A digital signature does not face the same challenge. The identify verification process ensures that much of this evidence is built into the signature. While the legal process will require that the organisation prove who made the signature, in the event of a query, the process is simplified by the digital trail and embedded forensic evidence.
"To be completely assured of digital signature security, South Africa's Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) recognises the concept of an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES)," adds Schoeman. "This is similar to a digital signature in that it is based on a digital certificate, but it requires face-to-face verification. This ensures the person receiving the document that the signer (signatory) of the document has been verified in person."
When a signature is disputed, it is the person who queries the signature who has to prove that it is invalid. For large organisations that enter into numerous contract agreements, this is a valuable tool as it assures them of a measure of security when signing agreements.
"To provide both enterprise and its legal department with peace of mind, it is recommended that all digital contracts or agreements are signed using a digital signature," concludes Schoeman. "This will not only alleviate unnecessary issues that could occur further down the line but will provide all parties with the right levels of assurance from the outset."

Yesterday I was invited by The lilac box to attend this event by H20+ with Shark saver Malaysia for a marine conservation program aiming to create awareness to value shark population. I also got the chance to meet up wight he brand ambassador of H2O +, Priscilla wong黃翠如 and Aric Ho . H20+ skin and body care range were develop based on the water concept of sea-science. So ocean is H20+ main source of active ingredient. They have been involved in several marine conservation initiatives worldwide and has worked with international personality Philippe Cousteau and through NGO's like EarthEcho international, world wildlife fund(WWF) and Ocean Conservancy to support the active restoration and preservation of oceans.
Collaboration of H20+ with shark saver Malaysia extends the footprint of their ocean conservation efforts, They wanted to give marine conservation and education as well as fulfilling H20+ corporate vision and mission. It is important for us to SAY NO TO SHARK FINS ! Shark are apex predators, crucial to sustainable balance of the marine ecosystem and to regulate the oceans.
