India's Sumit Nagal got his first main draw win on the ATP Tour on Tuesday when he reached the second round of the Argentina Open after coming through qualifying at the ATP 250 tournament in Buenos Aires.
The 23-year-old has won a Grand Slam match in the past but was yet to go past the first round on the ATP Tour. He crossed that milestone with a dominant 6-2, 6-0 win over world No 100 Joao Sousa in the first round of the clay court event. He won the last 11 games of the match after dropping serve early in the match.
The world No 150 next faces a challenging clash against second seed Cristian Garin.

Earlier, the Indian came through three tough qualifying matches to reach the main draw in Argentina. He beat Nicolas Kicker 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the final qualifying round and Mario Vilella Martinez 6-4, 6-2 in the second. But the most stringent test was the first round where he battled for over three hours to beat Carlos Gomez-Herrera 7-6(2) 2-6 7-6(2).
The world No 150 went down the South American clay-court route after his first-round loss at the Australian Open. He fell in the first qualifying round at Cordoba Open before his good run in Buenos Aires.
ATP 250 - Argentina Open, Buenos Aires day three will be broadcast on Eurosport from 09:30 pm IST onward on Wednesday.

Despite their amazing semifinal performance, it is ironical that everyone is only talking about Brazil's unprecedented defeat and not about how Germany did it.

In conversation: DataSift's Tim Barker on helping enterprises to grow big ears on social networks
As social platforms proliferate and influence buyers from all walks of life, the need to capture, track, monitor and understand customer feedback, opinion and intent from data within social networks continues to rise. DataSift positions itself as a platform to help brands harness the power of social data. We caught up with Tim Barker, Chief Product Officer to understand the thought leadership required to create a new market segment.
RF: Social media management reporting is a relatively new discipline. Have you built critical mass, and are your customers from any specific vertical segments?
TB: Right now, we are supporting over 1,000 customers in 40 countries. Our run rate includes serving 1 trillion data points every week. We are seeing strong growth momentum. Our customers are from broadly three types of companies. The social technology and business intelligence community such as HootSuite and Conversocial use our insights to fuel their own solutions. Agencies such as PorterNovelli and W2O Group augment their portfolio with our platform. And large enterprise customers across the spectrum such as Toyota, DowJones, Deloitte and Oracle use us as part of their marketing function.
RF: How did you create demand and budget for solutions that did not exist 5 years ago?
TB: Initially, as a startup you have to place a few big bets. Our bets were on the growth of social and the diversity of use-cases that businesses have for social data. Then we had to integrate into the ecosystem of social networks that are ultimately creating the demand within the market. By working closely with Twitter during its early days, we built a processing-platform that could serve a large number of customer use-cases. What we're focused on now is advancing the market beyond simply measuring social data, to deeper analytics and data mining. Thought leadership and sharing the experiences of our customers are a big part of this. For example, we founded socialdataweek.com as a global series of events to shine a light on the growing use of social data in businesses.
RF: This is a wide spectrum of tasks. And it is easy to see how the list of tasks will keep growing. What is the common thread?
TB. In a nutshell, we take big, fast, messy and text based narratives and process them to deliver relevant, rich, integrated data in formats that can be readily used by a number of target groups. Our work starts with aggregation by pulling together feeds from popular platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, WordPress, etc. We then filter, enrich and categorise to extract the meaning from the content. Our insights can be delivered in any or all of three ways our customers choose; push connectors, pull connectors or streaming API.
RF: How do you maintain relevance?
TB: By continuing to innovate to push the market further into extracting value from social data.Over the past 3 weeks, we have announced a round of major enhancements. At the aggregation level, we are adding new platforms such as WordPress, LexisNexis and Sina Weibo to our source pool. Another enhancement is the introduction of customer managed feeds and the option for customers to integrated data on a self service basis. This could potentially include internal social sites. In the processing stage, we are launching image management capability, and now provide the option for customers to privately augment analysis with natural language and machine learning. Most importantly, we have released Vedo which provides an engine and marketplace of data-science models to help extract meaning and context from social data.
RF: Who are the stakeholders you need to influence in order to drive adoption?
TB: In many ways, we are modernising reporting that was already in place when traditional media and channels were all-encompassing. So boards, management teams and marketing are accustomed to a certain level exposure to sentiment metrics. What's different is the extent to which online conversations are now part of the equation. While CMOs may ultimately be the end beneficiaries of social-insights, enterprises are increasingly viewing social data as another type of business data that they need to integrate into their decision making. So an increasing amount of our focus is on winning the CIO and demonstrating how we can integrating into the technology platforms they have already invested in.
RF: You are a relatively small team. How have you managed to create such strong momentum?
TB: That's right. We are a team of 100 across 3 countries. Like all young companies, everyone is enthusiastic and understands the business. When we announced our large financing round last week, one of the most read pieces on it was written by Mark Suster, our investor in Upfront Ventures. The other critical element is the way we work with our partners. Some of our technology partners have wrapped their value around our solutions, and therefore take us with them into new markets.
RF: What's ahead?
TB: We believe the world is moving to realtime streaming data sets, and the job of aggregating, filtering, and reporting will only get bigger. We are looking forward to the platforms we work with getting bigger, not just in volume and numbers of users, but also in the scope of what they cover. There is so much about the Internet of Things at the moment, and we think there is a role for our capabilities to play a role here in the long term.

University or college students today are not all recent graduates from high school. They come in all shapes and sizes - and ages. Many are working on their second or third degree, and some of them are professionals who are returning to school to enhance their careers. It is not wise to put your tuition on a credit cards as the interest rates are excessive. Good news: All students qualify for certain student loans regardless of past credit record.
There are basically two types of student loans to choose from. They are private student loans and federal student loans.
To apply for a student loan with no cosigner, you will need to apply for a federal student loan. You will need a cosigner or have a good credit record to apply for private student loans.
Not every student is in a positive position to ask someone to cosign a loan, and some individuals would rather not involve other people in their financial burdens.
Federal student loans are the best choice since every student is eligible to apply for this. There is no credit check involved.
Most private lenders need to protect their own interests, so they have to do a credit check to make sure the student will be able to repay the loan. It is much more difficult for students to get a private loan because of the risks involved.
Try to apply for these first because they are low-interest and long-term loans.
The Stafford Loan is the most popular. You must fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). It is designed for the most financially needy students. The government picks up the tab for the repayment of interest until the student has graduated and can assume a normal repayment plan.
You can reapply for the Stafford Loan every school year. The only drawback to the Stafford Loan is that the amount awarded is usually meager, and the student may have to apply for additional loans to meet all expenses.
The Perkins Loan offers from $1,000 to $4,000 with a nine-month grace period after graduation. It is awarded on a first come, first served basis. It is necessary that you apply as soon as possible.
Millions of needy students apply for grants and scholarships which do not need to be paid back. There is no credit check required, but usually there is proof needed of low-income. Often scholarships are based on merit as well as their intended field of study or pursuit of a particular profession.
Low-interest, non-credit-check loans are available to financially or socially disadvantaged students. The school or university must be a participant in the loan. Check with your financial aid office. These are usually sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services for Nurses or others pursuing medical degrees.
You can apply for a combination loan which will consolidate your existing loans. You may need to have a co-signer in order to be approved for the consolidation loan.
Federal Loan Consolidations programs allow you to roll all of your loans into one low monthly payment. It may help you cut your student loan monthly debt by up to 50 percent. There is no credit check needed for the federal loan, but usually your repayment period is extended to give you a lower monthly pay back amount.
That is valuable information LianaK. You should know best about financing for students from you experiences.
One very wise person told me we should put much effort into applying for loans and grants as the outcome is so beneficial. For example, if you put 40 hours into applying for different scholarships, loans, etc. and get a even just 1,000 that works out to about 25.00 an hour--still worth it :). Great hub.
Glad you liked it georgiecarlos. Thanks for your comments.
Very informative! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you dallas93444. I appreciate that.
Well researched and useful information. Flag up!
Aloha Pamela99. Many do benefit from student loans, grants and scholarships if they are diligent in applying. Thanks for your comments.
So nice to see you again pmccray. We did have a great holiday with our children and grandchildren. Hope you are doing well also. I appreciate your help.
Excellent and thorough information for those in need of or in possession of student loans. Voted up, marked useful and shared. Hope you and yours enjoyed a wonderful peaceful holiday.
Good article about student loans. It is a shame more don't quality.

Photodynamic Therapy is used to treat sun damaged skin, enlarged pores, chronically chapped lips, inflammatory acne, and rosacea (reddening of the skin). The therapy works by applying a photodynamic drug to the skin. Once the drug is applied, the covered skin is exposed to a laser that activates the drug. The drug then continues to remove abnormal skin cells. This leaves behind smoother, cleaner, and healthier looking skin.

Folkestone's outdoor public art exhibition – Folkestone Artworks – is the UK's largest urban outdoor contemporary art exhibition, consisting of 74 contemporary artworks by 46 artists in scenic locations around the town and its coastline. Artworks include those by  Lubaina Himid, Tracey Emin, Yoko Ono and Antony Gormley. Folkestone Artworks is refreshed every three years, as permanent works commissioned for the Folkestone Triennial are incorporated. Folkestone Artworks is maintained and cared for by Creative Folkestone on behalf of the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust.

Commissioned artists and their artworks often respond directly to the town of Folkestone itself and with the specific site in mind, reflecting both the town and its community whilst also reflecting broader themes.  Creative Folkestone's CEO, Alastair Upton notes that the artists "work with the grain of the history and the grain of the land to make something and people can come and read that but of course they're artists so there is a universality".

Notable artworks reflecting this ethos include Sol Calero's Casa Anacaona,  built by the artist working with members of the community as part of the Creative Folkestone Triennial 2017. Lubaina Himid's Jelly Mould Pavilion, a public pavilion commissioned in 2007, reveals the town's history with themes of universality whilst also offering shade, opportunities for conversation and invites contemplation on a sandy beach looking out to the sea. Pilar Quinteros's Janus Fortress Folkestone artwork launched in May 2021 is part of the 2021 Folkestone Triennial, 'The Plot' and England's Creative Coast.

Some of the artworks  are more of a personal nature, including Tracey Emin's Baby Things -  a seven-part collection of bronze sculptures, including a teddy bear that sits on a platform at Folkestone Central railway station. Mark Wallinger's Folk Stones reflects a more universal theme, consisting of 19,240 numbered stones, the exact number of soldiers killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

A volunteer-led project, Online Placemaking, resulted in all 72 Artworks being geo-located on Google Maps for the first time in March 2021.

Drama in Ndokwa East as APC members decamp to PDP
Ndokwa East as APC members decamp to PDP
By Ajuwa Victor
ASABA : The Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has celebrated the mass exodus of prominent chieftains and top members of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Ndokwa East Local Government Area, into the PDP family, and welcomed the well-known political figures with open arms, back to the secure and comfortable sojourn under the big umbrella.
A statement by Ifeanyi Osuoza, deputy director, media/publicity committee, Delta State PDP campaign council and state publicity secretary, Delta PDP, which disclosed the news of the defections, equally took a swipe at Hon. Friday Osanebi, deputy governorship candidate of Delta APC, noting that this exodus in his own LGA, has exposed him as a premature politician and a learner.
The statement reads: "The Delta State PDP happily announces that a political tsunami and mass exodus of defections by prominent chieftains, key stakeholders with thousands of their vast supporters and loyalists, from APC to PDP, has recently taken place in Ndokwa East Local Government Area, NELGA.
"The defections and mass exodus of APC stalwarts and thousands of their party members to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ndokwa East LGA, is ample evidence of the irreversible collapse of the APC in Ndokwa East Local Government Area.
"These renowned Deltans and sons and daughters of Ndokwaland, who led the multitude of other APC members, have declared by their bold and irrevocable action, that they have had enough of the darkness, unending glaring deceits and one-man-show of the APC in the state and Ndokwa East LGA.
"They include, Barrister Austin Ogbolu – Party LGA. Chairman, Hon. Ebifa Ijomah – former commissioner for youth and economic planning, Comrade Jude Ezimadu – Party LGA. secretary.
"Others are Comrade Obah Emmanuel – Party LGA. Youth Leader, Madam Elizabeth Olisa – Party LGA. Woman Leader, Austin Chikodi – state exco member and Lucky Dikeadi – legislative aide to deputy senate president.
"This is in addition to the defection of Chief Tony Amechi, a major financier of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Ndokwa East and Ndokwa nation as a whole, who recently dumped the APC with over 3000 of his supporters and was received with rousing reception in Aboh, by our capacity chairman, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso, our highly distinguished and respected deputy governorship candidate, Sir Monday Onyeme and our dynamic party scribe, Dan Ossai, amongst others.
"As we celebrate the auspicious emptying of the APC political structure into the PDP in Ndokwa East, we also note with great strategic satisfaction, that the Delta deputy governorship candidate of the APC, Hon. Friday Osanebi is from Ndokwa East LGA, his supposed political stronghold, where he hitherto held sway, as a long-serving PDP Deputy Speaker in the Delta legislature, before embarking on his infantile and ill-advised journey into anti-party politics, by biting the solid fingers that fed his political ego and ambition generously and successfully.
"These monumental defections from the APC and the crumbling of the foundation of the party's political structure in Ndokwa East, are not only a bold and clear negation of Osanebi's selection as deputy governorship candidate of the APC by the people of Ndokwa nation, it equally exposes the widely held notion in the area that Hon. Osanebi is a learner and a premature politician, who is obviously not in control of his electoral constituency.
"Most importantly, however, is the fact that the exodus of APC chieftains and stalwarts in NELGA, serves as a categorical validation, acceptance, and endorsement of the distinguished Sir Monday Onyeme, in the same position of deputy governorship candidate of the PDP, as the incontrovertible choice and trusted torch bearer of the people of Ndokwa East and Ndokwa nation, in whom they have reposed their full confidence and trust, to bring the much desired additional dividends of democracy to the area, in the next political dispensation in Delta State.
"We most heartily welcome our new members in Ndokwa East LGA. into the PDP family and assure them that there is enough room and space for everyone under the big, comfortable, and secure umbrella."

Domaine de Chevalier is a Bordeaux wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Crus Classés for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1953 and 1959. The winery and vineyards are located south of the city of Bordeaux, in the commune of Léognan. It is one of a very few Bordeaux estates to be named domaine instead of château.

History
The estate dates from the 18th century, and viticulture of significance was begun during the 19th century when it was run by Arnaud Ricard, also the proprietor of Château Malartic-Lagravière; from 1900 to 1945 it was owned by Gabriel Beaumartin, a son-in-law. Severe frosts in 1945 made partial replanting necessary, and normal production was not resumed until 1953. Managed by Claude Ricard since 1948, the Ricard family was forced to sell the estate in 1983 to the Bernard family of Cognac, though Claude Ricard stayed on as advisor for several years.

Stéphane Derenoncourt is retained as consultant oenologist.

Production
From a property of 80 hectares, the vineyard area consists of 35 hectares of red grape varieties: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, and 2.5% Petit Verdot; and 4.5 hectares of white grape varieties: 70% Sauvignon blanc and 30% Sémillon.

The Grand vin, Domaine de Chevalier, is annually produced in 7,000 cases of the red wine and 1,200 cases of the dry white. The red and white second wines, L'Esprit de Chevalier, has a production of 5,800 and 800 cases, respectively.

These are the people on the front lines of the Dubai Real Estate market and perform such tasks (amongst others) as showing homes, off-plan projects to perspective buyers, tenants and negotiating transactions on behalf of their client.
Dubai Real estate agents often work on a 100% commission basis, their income dependent upon their ability to find Dubai Property Investments suitable for their clients and closing transactions.

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications back in the day where a certain blogger cut her teeth. It is much sexier now, I am told, much like the blogger. Ok fine, not like the blogger.
I wanted to get this post in before Hurricane Sandy cuts my electricity and my contact with the outside world. Also, I needed to get this out of my brain so I'll stop exhausting myself. Last week's graduation was followed the very next day by some humbling and baffling news. My alma mater has selected me for its professional gallery of alums it deems successful and worthy to grace its halls in portraiture. The gesture comes with mixed feelings on my part because a) college was a blur for me and b) receiving awards or recognition always feels strange as my motivation is usually to just avoid embarrassing my parents overly much. Also, the ensuing induction ceremony forces me to revisit something I am not proud of in the slightest.
In college, I was lucky and blessed enough to meet one William Glavin, professor of magazine journalism, and an endearing, kind and loving friend. He was my most favorite person on campus and remained so long after I departed its snowy hills. My senior year, he was the only one I wanted speaking on my behalf at several awards ceremonies when other athletes had their coaches do the honors. I liked how he saw me and was touched by the beautiful words he shared with the various audiences. When I was in grad school, he'd take me to see the local minor league baseball team. And one warm spring afternoon, he taught me to fly fish in a Pennsylvania river. In many ways, he was 'my person' – a surrogate father and mentor.
He knew I dreamed of becoming a magazine editor and encouraged me at every opportunity to write. Any former student of his can tell you the hallmark of his grading papers was green-penned cursive championing what we did right and what we should improve upon in our writing. I eagerly read his notes, seeking in them the reinforcement that my talents were passably good.
These are my little treasures I will keep for all time.
After graduation, he would call me once per month, his gravelly voice crackling through the phone line, telling me his thoughts on a variety of Syracuse's athletics teams. I cherished those calls and relied upon them especially in the early days of my career when I lived in Indiana and struggled to find my way. We maintained our communications for almost a decade. Then, one day, I boarded a plane to Rome, Italy, and he was diagnosed with cancer of the blood. Everything changed.
All I can say, is that soon after, I withdrew into myself in a way that is very unlike me. We managed to communicate several times (I still have his email telling me he was proud of my decision to prosecute Marco), but then, I stopped reaching out to him because it felt wrong to burden him with my fears. His situation far outweighed mine and I did not want to pile on. I remember one of our last conversations. He was undergoing chemo at the hospital and his voice was weak, parched. He chattered, "Keri, I am so cold. I am soooo cold." It shattered the tiny parts of my heart that weren't already broken by then from our respective circumstances.
Save for a brief visit in NYC where I kissed his pale, gaunt cheek, I never saw or talked to him again because he died a few months later while I was in Charleston, recovering from the verdict in my case. It is painful to admit that; it is shameful, really. But self-preservation is a mystifying process and primal in its disregard for others. I never got to say goodbye.
With this blog, I have done my best to honor that command. On November 10, I will return to the college and the building that brought him into my life. I will be thinking of him and mourning him more fully than I did when he passed. And I just hope to God he forgives me because I am so very sorry I abandoned him that way.
How I will always remember my friend.
Beautiful tribute to a remarkable man. I'm so sorry for your loss.

The Solid Waste Program of the Middlesex County Environmental Health Division (MCEHD) is authorized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to enforce state solid waste regulations in Middlesex County. This enforcement authority was established by an interagency agreement entered into in April of 1983, pursuant to the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA).
The program conducts daily routine inspections at the Middlesex County Landfill, as well as inspecting transfer stations, recycling facilities, Class A recycling centers, compost sites, and farmland mulching operations. These facilities are inspected for compliance with regulations set forth in the State Solid Waste and Recycling codes (NJAC 7:26 and 7:26A respectively), and for site specific conditions established in their Solid Waste Facility Permits and Recycling Center approvals.
In addition, inspectors respond to complaints of illegal dumping and off-site odors from solid waste and recycling facilities. Other alleged violations reported by citizens or referred by other agencies are also handled by the inspectors. Also, based on inspections of incoming loads conducted by Middlesex County Utilities Authority personnel, the Program undertakes enforcement action against solid waste haulers who falsely report the point of origin of waste disposed of at the Middlesex County Landfill. In 2008 the Program expanded its inspections of solid waste vehicles and containers to ensure that waste haulers comply with all decaling and labeling requirements as required by State code.
The Program also conducts inspections at municipal drop-off sites where residents can dispose of their waste and recyclables. These sites are checked to ensure that they are neatly maintained and do not pose an environmental hazard.
When an inspection or investigation discloses a violation, a Notice of Violation and Penalty Assessment may be issued. Generally, an initial Notice of Violation specifies a compliance date by which the violation must be corrected, or if additional violations occur, Penalty Assessments may be issued. Penalties are calculated based on regulations set forth in NJAC 7:26.
As a result of the 1997 deregulation of state waste flow rules by the courts, Middlesex County amended its Solid Waste Management Plan to facilitate tracking of waste generated in the County. Effective January 1, 1997, solid waste haulers that dispose of Middlesex County waste at sites other than the Middlesex County Landfill are required to report waste tonnages disposed of to the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, and must submit a per ton fee (currently $5.47/ton). Enforcement efforts by the Program have achieved significant compliance with the plan amendment.
• Follow-up Inspections: Secondary inspections following primary inspections; generally used to ascertain compliance.
• Generator Inspection: An inspection that takes place at a residence, company, or institution which generates solid waste.
• NJDEP: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
• NJDEQ: (NJDEP), Division of Environmental Quality.
• Notice of Violation (NOV): MCPHD formal Notice of Violation issued to a person responsible for a violation of a solid waste rule, regulation or code.
• Penalty Assessment (PA): A MCPHD administrative penalty assessed for a violation of the Solid Waste Management Act (NJAC 7:26) or any other solid waste statute enforced by MCPHD.
• Recycling Facilities: Facilities where the process of removing from the waste stream those materials and products that can be reused in their original form or reconstituted in other products, takes place.
• Solid Waste: Any garbage, refuse, trash, dry sludge, or material that is discarded or abandoned and is intended for disposal.
• Transfer Stations: A midpoint where smaller garbage trucks may bring garbage to be compacted and placed into large vehicles to be taken to landfills.
• Waste flow Inspections: Inspection of incoming solid waste, at a landfill, to ascertain if any out-of-county solid waste is being brought illegally to Middlesex County facilities.
Waste Stream: A general term used to describe all the solid waste generated in a certain area, location, or facility.

The co-founders of a thriving Isle of Man-based agency revealed some of the challenges and triumphs they have faced in getting their business off the ground.
Rikki Dunnage and Edward Cox launched Island Travel in 2013, having both previously worked in the same Thomas Cook store – Dunnage as branch manager for 10 years.
Dunnage was working 16-18 hour days initially, while Cox earned extra cash in a restaurant. "Thankfully Hays was hugely supportive," he said.
But the pair certainly believe the hard work has been worth it. "We work hard and play hard," said Dunnage. And it seems like the team has perfected a fairly unusual customer acquisition strategy, with 40% of its business originating via Facebook.
Island Travel has caught the attention of its suppliers too, taking home three awards at the conference.

Italian stocks and country-specific ETFs have been outperforming in the Eurozone region despite the ongoing uncertainty around the Southern European country and its troubled banking sector. Over the past three months, the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) increased 6.3% and Franklin FTSE Italy ETF (FLIY) advanced 5.9%, whereas the benchmark MSCI Europe Index added 2.7%. Italy's economy dipped into a recession in the fourth quarter of 2018, and political volatility may persist as analysts argued that the governing coalition of the anti-immigration League party and the antiestablishment 5 Star Movement may not survive the year, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) , the largest US-listed exchange traded fund dedicated to Italian equities, is rebounding after a dismal 2018. Italy is the Eurozone's third-largest economy behind Germany and France. There are also increasing concerns that Italy is inching toward a recession.
No Recession Ahead, Says Allianz Chief Mohamed El-Erian Former PIMCO CEO and former head of Harvard's endowment Mohamed El-Erian doesn't think a recession is ahead of us in 2019. "You would need either a major policy mistake or a massive market accident to push us into recession."

Amid political volatility and concerns about the pace of economic growth, the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) , the largest US-listed exchange traded fund dedicated to Italian equities, is down 21.65% this year. Some market observers believe Italian equities face more downside in 2019. Italy is the Eurozone's third-largest economy behind Germany and France.

The iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) , the largest US-listed exchange traded fund dedicated to Italian equities, is lower by nearly 17%, making it one of the worst-performing single-country ETFs tracking a developed economy and challenges are mounting, not abating, for Italy's economy. Increased uncertainty regarding government efforts to enhance Italy's fiscal status is weighing on the minds of some investors. "The Italian stress scenario assumes that the Lega and the Five Star Movement coalition government presents expansive budgets for both 2019 and 2020, which rattles bond markets and rating agencies, leading to acute financial market turbulence," said Markit in a recent note.
Italy country-specific exchange traded fund popped on a relief rebound and pared some of its losses Friday after the European market plunged in response to a questionable budget and government bond yields pushed toward a four-year high. The iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) was among the better performing ETFs of Friday, rising 2.1%, after plummeting 3.2% on Thursday. On Thursday, the European Commission formally notified Italy that its 2019 budget plans were a serious problem and required "clarification" over the "unprecedented" deviation from E.U. rules, AFP News reported.
The eurozone's third-largest nation has plunged into deep political and economic crisis, which has become a concern for the European Union (EU) as well as for the global markets. At the end of Sept. 2018, the ruling coalition comprising the Five Star Movement and the Lega Nord announced their 2019 budget, which increases deficit spending to 2.4 percent of the GDP. The move has upset Italy's euro zone partners, who had been pressuring Italy to decrease its debt.
Relief rally in Italian equities and country-specific ETF led global market gains Monday after Italy's finance minister assuaged investors over the government's spending plans. On Monday, the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) jumped 3.0%. In contrast, the broad region-related Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) was 0.9% higher.
The iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) continues struggling. At least one major ratings agency is taking a pessimistic view of Italy. Last week, Fitch Ratings revised its outlook on Italy's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to negative from stable.
Italy ETFs were among the few areas of strength in international markets Tuesday after the Italian debt market gained and yields declined from four year highs in response to Fitch Ratings decision to leave the country's credit rating unchanged. On Tuesday, the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) rose 1.3%. Italian bond yields dipped after Fitch left its credit rating unchanged at BBB but revised its outlook to negative, Reuters reports.
European stocks and the related exchange traded funds are struggling this year, a point highlighted by the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) . The sudden decline in Italian assets intensified on worries that the Eurozone's third largest state could exit the bloc and may even trigger further breakdown in the euro currency union after the Five Star Movement and the League – two Euroskeptic parties – formed a coalition. Some market observers are concerned about the health of Italy's bond market.
The Beginning of Another European Crisis?
Investors are continuing to whip the market back and forth on trade concerns, but the recent focus is a bit different. If you have been following the news, you know that the governments in the U.S. and Turkey are in dispute about trade tariffs and the return of a U.S. national, Andrew Brunson, who the Turkish government has accused of being involved in an alleged 2016 coup attempt. The dispute over Brunson has likely heightened tensions over the trade dispute, and Turkey's government increased tariffs on U.S. autos to 120% and alcoholic beverages to 140% on Wednesday.
Italian stocks and the iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) are mired in slumps that started earlier this year amid fears Italy could leave the Eurozone. Italy's markets were upended at the end of May on speculation of the potential rise of an anti-euro zone faction.

Italy ETFs strengthened Monday, with Italian markets posting their best daily gains in over a year, as previous anti-establishment concerns diminish. The iShares MSCI Italy Capped ETF (EWI) rose 3.7% on Monday. Italian markets jumped after Finance Minister Giovanni Tria assured that the country will remain in the euro currency bloc, Bloomberg reports.

Luca Vitone, Georgia Dickie, David Jablonowski at Rolando Anselmi
Artists: Luca Vitone, Georgia Dickie, David Jablonowski
Venue: Rolando Anselmi, Berlin, Germany
Date: March 28 – April 24, 2018

Rolando Anselmi is pleased to present the third chapter of the three-artists-show program in the Berlin gallery, introducing works by Luca Vitone, Georgia Dickie and David Jablonowski. For this exhibition, Luca Vitone presents works from the series "Ich, Rosa Luxemburg Platz (Rosa Luxemburg Strasse)". These works, realised by displaying canvas in an outdoor environment, appear as a votive offer to the city, its weather, its seasons and any happening in a certain moment and an actual place: precisely in Berlin, Rosa Luxemburg Platz in 2008. The factual image of these canvas has been shaped by absorbing dust, light, water, smog and whichever occurrence they had filtered. The connection between these works and the artist's biography can drive us to define this series as Vitone's self-portraits, a Berlin diary arranged by the artist and printed by the city: a snap-shot collection which combines time marks, the description of a territory, and Vitone's personal epopee. Georgia Dickie work addresses the complexities of contemporary object-based practice and is characterised by a deep interest in found materials and their inherent limitations. By an empirical process of accumulation, discovering possible joints and combinations between parts, Dickie's work claims an additional life for any found object she is selecting to be part of a new one. The instinctiveness with which the components of works like "Smile" and "JJ Horns" are assembled, seems to merge singular identities generating unprecedented new ones. Following a similar approach, the collages "Bad Seed" and "14" display a process in which images and their possible meanings are built up and expanded by including outward fragments or happenings. David Jablonowski proposes a different investigation around sculpture and its perception. In his work "Public Hybrid, New Infrastructures 2 (Titanium Cairns)" a complex set-up of elements displayed over and around a leading black Sahara marble slab give birth to an intricate visual path which blends architecture, technology and machinery. The dialogue between central and peripheral elements, various materials and dynamics, brings the viewer to wander between an open overview and an analytic gaze. Unlike maps, the three mixed-media works ("New Infrastructures (Mapping) 4", "New Infrastructures (Mapping) 6", "New Infrastructures (Mapping) 7"), offer us a legible and compressed representation of the artist's aesthetic territory.

Public Class Fields allow you to add instance properties to the class definition with the assignment operator (=). In this lesson, we'll look at their use case for simplifying event callbacks and state initialization with a React component.
00:00 Here we have a basic react component called "App." In its constructor, it is initializing some state. In the render method, we're rendering out the Click Count. That's the current state of the clicks, as well as a button called "Click Me!" that passes the handleClick handler to the onClick callback.
00:19 Here in handleClick where you setState and we increment clicks. Here there's a problem if we go ahead and click, then we're going to see an error "this.setState is not a function." That's because we're passing handleClick to this onClick callback.
00:35 When react is calling our our onClick callback with the event, it's not calling it with the right context. This is not actually bound to anything at all. That's why we're getting this "this.setState is not a function."
00:45 This is pretty easy to solve. Most people will just make this an arrow function. Then you'll have to invoke this. Now if we click, we'll see that the click count is incrementing.
00:55 There are a couple of drawbacks to this. First of, if you want to pass on the event, now you have to type "event" here and "event" here so that you can get access to the event. Another issue there is if there are multiple parameters, then you have to say "param2," then you'll have to go here and "param2."
01:16 It won't be long before you start just saying, "The heck with it." We'll say "args" and "...args" so that you don't have to keep in adding parameters, or whatever. But this is not really ergonomic. I don't really like doing things this way.
01:32 Another way to accomplish this same kind of idea is instead of using arrow function, which doesn't have at this binding and simply uses this binding of its closure, we'll say ".bind this," so we specify that this binding for the function explicitly. This works just as well and you don't need to worry about parameters or any arguments or anything.
01:57 That's great, but I still don't really like having to do the binding here. It also suffers from the performance issues with the arrow function where you're creating a new function every single time the render method is called, which is actually a lot of times often in react components.
02:13 Instead of doing the binding here, we can actually do the binding in our constructor. We can say "this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind this." What this does effectively is it overwrites these instances of handleClick with a bound version of handleClick so that you can pass it on.
02:34 It doesn't matter how it's being called. It's always going to be bound with this, with our instance of the component. That works great.
02:42 Let's say that you have many handleClick or of handle key up or handle mouse over, you have a bunch of these in your component. Now you have to have not only the definition, but also a line in your constructor binding that definition. That's also not super ergonomic.
03:01 With public class fields, you can actually solve this problem by basically taking this assignment looking operator and sticking it right here in the class definition. Then we'll need to turn this into a function, and then we want to have this function be bound to this. Then we'll comment this out.
03:19 Because we have this assignment syntax here, the public class field specification basically says, "Postpone evaluating this expression until each instance is being constructed." We're going to add a handleClick property on each instance and assign it to this expression.
03:39 This runs effectively. It runs in the controller effectively. You're doing the same type of thing as this would do as we had before.
03:47 Now we can click and that works just fine. We can make this even a little bit more ergonomic by removing the binding here and just going with lexical binding for this using an arrow function. Now, we can click and increment and everything works nicely with public class fields.
04:05 We can do the same things with state. We'll just copy and paste the state assignment and put it as part of the class definition. Now that state assignment will take place when the instance is being constructed as well.
04:16 We'll get rid of this, have that commented out. You'll see that the click count is still initialized to zero. If we initialize it to six, then that works just fine.
04:26 Now you can see that the constructor is totally useless. It's not really doing anything at all. We can get rid of that entirely and have our App component still function exactly as we want it to.
04:39 That's public class fields. It's simply the name of the property, and then the "equals" operator. Then the expression that we want to have it initialize to when each instance is being initialized.

PS5 restock issues to continue until 2022, admits Sony
By What Hi-Fi?
The PS5 restock issues aren't going to get any easier any time soon

PS5 restock issues are expected to run into 2022, according to Sony's Chief Financial Officer, Hiroki Totoki. The gloomy prediction comes amid an ongoing semiconductor shortage, which together with unprecedented demand for stay-at-home entertainment, has made it hard to find where to buy a PS5.
"I don't think demand is calming down this year and even if we secure a lot more devices and produce many more units of the PlayStation 5 next year, our supply wouldn't be able to catch up with demand," Totoki is said to have told analysts at a confidential briefing (via Bloomberg).
"Can we drastically increase the supply? No, that's not likely," Totoki reportedly said. "The shortage of semiconductors is one factor, but there are other factors that will impact on the production volume. So, at present, we'd like to aim at [beating] second year sales of 14.8 million, which was the second year of PS4."
Sony has been struggling to keep up with demand ever since the Playstation 5 launched back in November. Last week, Digitimes claimed the Japanese tech giant was considering a "change of design" in order to make it easier to produce the PS5 in large volumes.
To soften the blow, Sony's CFO followed up with an impressive earnings report. The report shows PS5 sales of 7.8million units, making the PS5 the fastest-selling console in the company's history. Not bad considering the ongoing supply issues.
Last month, Sony PlayStation CEO, Jim Ryan, hinted that the PS5 stock shortage 'could be over by May'. But it now appears to be unlikely that Sony will be able to meet demand any time soon.
With the hotly-anticipated expanded version of Grand Theft Auto V due for release in the second half of 2021, Sony could be in for bumper Christmas sales – if it can get enough PS5s into stores.

I'm trying something new today - instead of starting off the day with a coffee with cream and sugar, I'm trying a green tea. We'll see how this goes.
Here's an exciting story: Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl who were going to take a train trip down to San Diego to see their sister and brother-in-law, go to a U2 concert, and then drive to Vegas for a much needed break from the day job. One day they bought tickets via the web for the train since there's no kiosk where one could actually purchase tickets in person. The web promised them they'd have their tickets in time to get on the train, and warned them that their reservation number was not enough. A day passed. Another day passed. Another day passed. Another day passed. Suddenly it was the day before the train was supposed to take the boy and the girl to San Diego. The boy and the girl were very anxious by this time, because the train tickets, which the web had faithfully promised would reach them, had not yet arrived. "I can't believe there's no $%#&! kiosk where you can just go to pick up the $%#!& tickets!" said the boy. "This is #$@%!" said the girl. Will the boy and the girl ever get their tickets for the train? Only the web knows.
There's a U2 concert and I wasn't informed?
Drat. I am SO out of it.

The lives of men, women, and briefcases everywhere are at stake.
Okay, here's the scenario: you wake up in a room. It's a little too dark to tell, but it seems like you're surrounded by concrete walls. In front of you is a table with a manila folder, a faulty alarm clock, and a briefcase. The lights come on. You notice that the briefcase is covered in little puzzles. Your friends to begin chirping in your ear, something about wires and buttons and comedy sketches from the 1930's. Your eyes scan the myriad of blinking objects covering the briefcase and... oh. Oh no. There's a timer.
Welcome to Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes.
Keep Talking is an asymmetrical co-op game in which a group of intrepid bomb experts must talk their friend through a series of increasingly complex bomb defusals. To do so, the experts have to parse a "bomb manual" listing all the puzzles one may run into and how to solve them. All the while, the defuser is doing the field work, the physical act of disarming each puzzle. That doesn't seem terribly difficult up front, but there's a catch: neither defuser nor expert can see what the other is looking at, meaning that victory or failure comes down to your ability to communicate under stress. Sounds fun, right?
Before we give too much away, myself and Taylor (and a couple guests) got the chance to test our mettle against The Horrible Briefcase Menace. Give it a look, won't you?
Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes is currently out for PC and Oculus Rift. Technically, there's no real limit on how many friends you can enlist, but I'd imagine the game gets far too hectic past 5 or 6.
Come to think of it, that could be pretty fun, too.

Massive tree plantings in Ethiopia and India to fight climate change
Last month Ethiopia planted more than 353 million trees in 12 hours as part of a wider reforestation campaign named "Green Legacy" spearheaded by the prime minister. Last Friday, more than a million residents of India planted 220 million trees in another government campaign to tackle climate change. Dozens of species of saplings were planted along roads, rail tracks and in forest lands in an attempt to keep one-third of its land under tree cover. The trees are tagged so their growth can be recorded. It's the second huge tree planting campaign in that area of the country. 50 million saplings were planted in 2016.

The male loon has been on the nest four times in the last couple hours and has done some serious nest building.
Even as I am typing this, they are back up on the nest and have mated once again. By my count this is the 14th time.
Now the female is sitting on the nest 'mewing' a little bit (sometime soon we will take a refresher course in loon calls) and undoing some of the work the male did in building a nice deep bowl for a nest! She is in a different spot.
Then the male got back on the nest and tried to repair some of the damage with some more serious digging and nest building in his original spot..
Having the advantage of watching banded loons, we can now tell who is on the nest and who does what. Something that in the past researchers could only guess at.
What has been so interesting to me is that the male has been doing probably 80% of the nest building.
Which raises an even deeper question for me. HOW does the male know that it is getting close to the female's time to lay an egg. Obviously he cannot feel an egg growing inside his body.
So how does he know that it is growing inside her body?
Do they talk? If so, how? And what kind of information is passed from one loon to the other? And how does he know the time is imminent and a nest must be built?
Things too Wonderful to comprehend.
As usual, when we think we have answered one question a whole host of other questions are raised.
How wonderful to be able to watch and learn!
This increased urgency of nest building is exactly what we have been waiting for!
Continue to watch to see how often they visit the nest and how long they stay and how serious they are about nest building.
The next thing to watch for is the behavior of the female.
One of the times when she has gotten on the nest and settled into the bowl of the nest, she will start to act differently.
She will sort of crawl up on the edge of the nest and she will obviously be straining. She will probably spread her wings out somewhat to brace herself.
This whole procedure will probably take several minutes.
Then in one sudden movement, the egg will pop out and rest in the bottom of the bowl.
The female may remain on the edge of the nest for some minutes totally exhausted. And then she will probably leave the nest and get in the water.
But they will not leave the egg unattended for long.
For the next month the male and the female will take turns incubating that precious egg. And hopefully in a couple days, they will add a second egg to their nest.
The egg could come at any moment.

The first thing that happens to a newly minted Scrum Master, regardless of their certification (SSM, CSM, PSM1), on their first day of work is the stark realization that the real world has the injection of unplanned work.
In a perfect world, the sprint is "protected", and the injection of unplanned work is considered an anti-pattern.
But we don't live in a perfect world 😊 and the injection of unplanned work is common.
The one thing all of these have in common is that they are reactive in nature. Scrum requires "adaptive" planning to work properly and the injection of uncontrolled unplanned work has the team stopping and starting work a lot instead of just starting and finishing work.
Just about every Scrum Master has done the penny exercise and they understand that multi-tasking leads to not getting things done, yet here we are in the real world without the Scrum Framework giving us methods to constrain the impact of unplanned work.
The Kanban Method recommends consideration of 4 different service level policies associated with the cost of delay: (1) expedite, (2) fixed date, (3) standard, and (4) intangible. Intangible means that it hasn't been identified as being in one of the other three groups.
For me, the most interesting thing about swim lanes is that their use helps us make work visible. Without these, we may very well be treating all work the same based simply (and incorrectly) on the order in the backlog.
It is common to not see the truth that is right in front of our eyes because we haven't made work visible. The Kanban Method's swim lanes help us make work visible so that we can make decisions on how to proceed, yet this alone is not enough.
The next step is to place a horizontal WIP limit of "1" on the expedite swim lane. This means that only 1 item can be in the expedite swim lane at any one time. It also means that this item can overrule a vertical column's WIP limit by 1. We want to have this horizontal WIP limit because an expedited item means that we are losing money, or our brand is being damaged, and this means that we must swarm on to that item to get it done. If we didn't have a horizontal WIP limit of 1 on the expedite swim lane, then swarming would not occur and an item in that swim lane would not truly be treated as being "expedited", multi-tasking would occur, and things wouldn't get done.
Invariably, when there is an injection of unplanned work by the HIPPO, the HIPPO knows not what impact they are having in getting the real outcomes that they want. For many years, a standard technique used by agile coaches, scrum masters, and product owners has been to ask the HIPPO what they are willing to take out if they want to inject this new unplanned work. While this seems like a reasonable way of handling the situation, its use causes a self-defeating result: we are going to not only switch to work on something else, but we are putting unfinished work on hold. This means stopping and starting instead of starting and finishing and can only be considered waste.
As many studies have shown that the Pareto Rule (aka the 80/20 rule) applies to software development, stopping and starting like this can result in 80% waste (or rather, wait time). So, while the HIPPO has caused a stop and start with the injection of unplanned work with the desire to respond to market forces or client complaints/needs, the actual outcome is a longer lead time for items flowing through the system. This becomes and even greater challenge when the "expedited" work is not really expedited work, but only "perceived" as expedited. Just as we must have a clear understanding of the definition of done, we must also have a clear understanding of what "expedited" means. All too often, this lack of understanding of the cost of delay incurs negative feedback loops that cause damage to what the HIPPO wants most…shorter lead times and predictability in the system.
So, we must first have a clear understanding of what "expedited" means, make it visible in the Expedited swim lane, and limit the WIP to 1 in this horizontal lane.
But even this is not enough as the HIPPO hasn't been given data that shows the impact of their decision to inject unplanned work.
First, is there any way to figure out if these items are "real" expedited items or just "perceived" expedited items? If they are just perceived and not real, then WIP limits on the expedited swim lane should help considerably because people will stop and ask: "what is "real"?", and then further discussions will allow placement of the "perceived" yet not "real" work items into the standard or fixed date swim lanes for subsequent sequencing of work.
Second, if 80% of the items worked on in a sprint are "real" expedited items, then we must ask two questions: (1) Is there a way to not have such high amounts of "real" expedited items? and if not, (2) Then why are we using the Scrum Framework in the first place? Any desire for obtaining predictability through Scrum rests on protecting the sprint from the intrusion of high amounts of unplanned work mid-sprint. So, if your current context has high amounts of real expedited work, then perhaps, Scrum is not the way to get to agility and we need to switch to the Kanban Method.
Printing out run charts showing the number of "expedited" items per sprint each day (added, WIP, done) and trending data of the same per sprint over several sprints, and how the lead time changes per day and per sprint (all taken from the Cumulative Flow Diagram), will show how the injection of unplanned work affects the lead time.
From these standard reports (provided by many agile project management software tools), we can create a chart of Lead Time versus Number of Expedited Items (added, WIP, done) over 1-day periods or over multiple sprints.
And remember, if the amount of WIP is the Queen, the lead time is the King. The amount of WIP in the system is a leading indicator of flow while the lead time is a lagging indicator. Yet, as Little's Law tells us, these two are invariably connected with each other.
Showing this trending information together to the HIPPO will give them information on how to make better decisions. We simply show the trending data and ask the HIPPO: "Do you want greater predictability and shorter lead times?". If yes, then let's try this different way.

Fings Aint Wot They Used To Be
By Sue | December 27, 2011 - 4:57 pm | October 6, 2012 anti-Israel, jon donnison, pro-palestinian
The BBC is fond of the familiar. It favours the tried and tested, nay, the formulaic, all year round. But tradition and ritual are an extra special feature at Christmas. It's what the audience wants, is it not? , "Give them more of what they liked last time round!" those innovative creative commissioning editors must have squealed as they sat round the table in the BBC's department of inspiration and left of centre thinking.
"Eureka!" They might have cried, "Here's what we'll do for Christmas!" "Morecambe and Wise!" "Shrek!" "And don't forget to go up to the attic and see if you can find the one about the shepherds. I know we put it somewhere. They love that one. What we need is another good old 'fings aint wot they used to be' special."
Israel-bashers unite, far and wide, and the BBC is not averse to a bit of sentimentality at Christmas time, even if it means following the herd. Literally.
"Ring up Carlos Sarras, our go-to Palestinian shepherd, and if he's available again get Jon Donnison on the case. Yolande Knell can find another old geezer wistfully reminiscing about his goat, his olive tree and his donkey and she can finish with an interview with George Saadah, deputy mayor of Bethlehem, whose message of peace and goodwill to all men we'll put under the heading "The Wise Man." Jon Donnison gave him a lengthy spot on BBC News 24 the other day, so the audience will be liking him already."
"Bring the story up to date with some fresh 2011 references to the apartheid wall, and round it up thus: "Forty years ago, there were just a few thousand settlers living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, territory Israel captured and occupied in the 1967 Middle East war."
(That would be the1967 war of intended annihilation against Israel instigated by her surrounding neighbours, I think you'll find, Mr D., a simple fact that might have significant bearing on the situation.)
"Put it in context," they'll be reminding each other."Now there are around 500,000 settlers."
"and finish, as ever, with the perennial: "Settlements are illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this." and Bob's yer uncle!"
Same old addendum each time, but hardly innovative. Here's an idea for the creatives at the BBC Left Field Think Tank. Think outside the box! Why stick to that tired old taint as your sole contribution to what you scurrilously call 'context?'
For a change, why not put some different context, for example: "Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip receive one of the highest levels of aid in the world." That's context, is it not? How about a straightforward: "Palestinians receive more aid per capita than any other people on the planet." Or why not inform the public thusly: "Hamas, who rule Gaza have Israel's destruction immutably written within their charter!" Or, from the charter itself: "[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement."
Well, why not? It's context. It would make a change. Make progress. You love complaining that fings aint wot they used to be, but it's no use complaining. Fings just aint.
Or, why not go for refreshing honesty? Come out! No more closet. Why not just put "The BBC pledges everlasting allegiance with the Palestinians, and will continue to act as their mouthpiece while promising never to waste an opportunity to denigrate Israel."

But, but I ways thought that the BBC loved illegal immigrants or settlers. Surley these settlers are like the Dale farm travelers, who's human rights have been violated?
And isn't Occupy Palestine a bit like Occupy St Pauls?

as I read elsewhere today….
occupy St Paul's?How about "occupy a job!"

And all the best Sue…and thanks again for flying the flag.
I saw the title and thought that Lionel Bart would be gettina a mention.
The mini-series on Mr Bart is pleasing in that the Jewish culture permeates all of contemporary culture-the BBC can no longer write the likes of Bart, Grade or Wiseman out of recent entertainment than try to put a spin on the benefits of Somali immigration at the moment.
Like to think that God has it all in hand-whether the BBC and its atheistic naysayers feel inclined to continue to scoff or sneer is irrelevant.
Whether its comedy or art, music or comedy, business or manufacturing…the Jewish people are uniquely qualified to smile at what kind of empty desert there would be if they were cast to the margins.
And the more the BBC offer us their atheist drones and Islamic talents…the more grateful we all are for the likes of Bart.
As a person of Irish roots, I doff my cap to the greatness and ubiquity of the Jewish people…and pity the squalid bargain that the BBC have picked with their Allan Carrs, Russell Brands and George Galloways.
Turn the telly off,laugh at their Sturmer stuff-and know that it`ll not be going much further either.

The International Union of Muslim Scholars Wishes You a Happy "Save al-Aqsa Friday" (while Pushing for War with Israel)
Posted by Translating Jihad
The International Union of Muslim Scholars is headed by the highly-popular cleric, Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who is also the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Point being, when these guys issue a statement, you can pretty well consider it the view of the Muslim Brotherhood.Here they warn the Israelis that any stone disturbed on al-Aqsa will be met with "heavy bloodshed"; they call for the Palestinian factions to unite against Israel; they call for the withdrawal from any peace initiatives with Israel; and they call for Muslims to revive the duty of jihad and prepare for victory against Israel.In sum, this looks like no more or less than a call for war against Israel (translated from salahsoltan.com, 24 Nov 2011):

Lately I'm on a work-clothes buying craze, which in some ways is pointless when you're dealing with sick people because there's always something that's going to get spilt on you. Like projectile vomit on my favourite pink cardigan. Blood on my shoes. Abdominal proteinaceous fluid on pants in spite of wearing a gown. I could go on, but for your sake I wont. In spite of this, I continue to buy myself nice stuff because a lot of the time, my job isn't nice. You've got to find ways to take the edge off.
I'm having a huge thing for Pour La Victoire at the moment, the sizing is small but they're so well made. These look fabulous with everything.
I'm a huge menswear fan, with flashes of girliness from time to time but at work it's all business.
I admit, I bought it entirely for the sleeves. I love them! Anyone know where to find some ultra low-slung workpants I can tuck this into?
And I don't mind a little bit of lace either – but just a little.
I think this one's going to be a staple. I have no idea who Club Monaco are but they make some nice stuff. And I probably shouldn't be buying silk in my job, but you only live once.
And what do you do when you think the Equipment Signature Blouse is just way too much money? You buy a Madewell one instead.
That should keep me out of trouble at work for a while!
Pretty clothes! I went a bit nuts on ASOS (I needed enough clothes to rotate through). It'll be a wonderful day when I can afford more than polyester and Target.
I've only been bled on once but luckily I was in scrubs. Unfortunately I'm not too good with faecal matter or vomit still – this gag reflex disappears, yes?
