The Good Life Cafe was a health food market and cafe in Los Angeles, California, known for its open mic nights that helped the 1990s Los Angeles alternative hip hop movement flourish. In 2008, director Ava DuVernay, who had performed at the cafe with the Figures of Speech hip hop group, released a documentary about the cafe, This Is The Life. The film featured a number of hip hop artists discussing the importance of the Good Life Cafe to themselves and the hip hop scene. The Cafe was open from 1989 to 1999.

It was described as "a platform for rappers to perform their material" and "a testing ground for Los Angeles' independent rap scene". Artists like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Lenny Kravitz and others reportedly attended the open-mic, while many other musicians learned their skills at the events.

History

The Good Life Health Food Centre's weekly open-mic night began in December 1989. Started by B. Hall and her son R/KainBlaze with his friends The Mighty O-Roc and The Dynamic Flow, KNGR: The Underground Radio at the Good Life offered workshops for aspiring MCs, poets and musicians to hone their craft.

On Thursday nights from 8-10pm, artists were allowed to perform one song. Some would perform written songs, and some would freestyle. When a performance was not up to par, the audience would call out "Please pass the mic!" and the emcee would end the performance promptly. In addition, there was a strict policy against cursing. B. Hall once explained, "Young people needed a place to go to develop their own art. The no-cussing policy wasn't about us being uptight church people, it was about wanting the atmosphere of a serious arts workshop. Most of the crowd respected the rule, some said it made rapping more challenging, that it created more respect and brotherhood."

After the venue closed at night, people would continue with battles in the parking lot. In December 1995, several notable performers established Project Blowed which became its own successful venue.

Lenny Kravitz, Common,  Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, will.i.am and Macy Gray  reportedly attended the open-mic, while artists such as The Pharcyde, Biz Markie, Fat Joe, Skee-Lo, and Kurupt occasionally performed there.

Good Life regulars Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee came together to form Jurassic 5.

Other Good Life regulars included Xzibit, Monie Love, Chu Black, Dark Leaf, TrenSeta, Big Al, Quiet Storm, Menace Clan, Lenny Kravitz, Common, Snoop Dogg, will.i.am, Macy Gray, Freestyle Fellowship, The Righteous Family, Ahmad, Pigeon John, Abstract Rude, Aceyalone, Chillin Villain Empire, Rifleman Ellay Khule, Volume 10, Medusa, OMD, 2Mex The Visionaries, Spoon Iodine, Ganjah K, Fat Jack, The Nonce, The Pharcyde, Biz Markie, Fat Joe, Skee-Lo, Brand Nubian, Kurupt, N.W.A, Jurassic 5, Big Pun and Chi-Ali

Core years that one would consider the GoodLife Open Mics apex were hosted by a cast of highly influential lyricists/masters of ceremony including Chu Black, J-Smoov of Dark Leaf, TrenSeta, Big Al, Quiet Storm, Menace Clan's Jammin D and a host of others.

The final Good Life Open Mic show was held in September 1997 and was hosted by local Good Life emcee called Ink Rezin. The Good Life Health Food Centre closed in 1999. Regulars of the open mic night later founded Project Blowed, a hip-hop workshop.

Susanna album
written by the partae January 25, 2018
Today Nowergian artist Susanna returns with details of new album 'Go Dig My Grave', set for release on February 9th 2018 via her SusannaSonata record label. The album's title-track is streaming online now.
'Go Dig My Grave' is a unique project between Susanna, Swiss baroque harp player Giovanna Pessi, accordion player Ida Hidle and fiddle player & folk singer Tuva Syvertsen. The quartet have reworked ten eclectic songs from seemingly disparate worlds and brought them together on this album of sympathetic and beautiful interpretations. They lend their talents to traditional English and American folk songs, numbers by Purcell, Elizabeth Cotten, Joy Division and Lou Reed, as well a new composition by Susanna written to a poem from Charles Baudelaire's once banned 'Flowers of Evil'.
The first track to be shared online is the album's title track, "Go Dig My Grave", a traditional folk previously sung by Jean Ritchie. Speaking of how she discovered this Susanna explains: "During my trips to the States over the past years I have picked various Folkways records (which is an incredible label) and I have been able to discover some old songs. The label presents a broad variety of American folk songs and among my favourites are the Jean Ritchie albums, and her version of 'Go Dig My Grave'. When I heard the song I knew immediately that I wanted to sing it, I was struck by the presence in her singing and the tragic story to the song. It took a while to make my own version of it though, to find the right way to present it."
Listen to title-track "Go Dig My Grave" now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oevqDa7Ux9o
Norwegian artist Susanna has a distinct voice in music and has been releasing music since 2004 with the duo 'Susanna and the Magical Orchestra', as 'Susanna' and under her full name, Susanna Wallumrød. She is known for her transforming of songs by AC/DC, Dolly Parton, Thin Lizzy and Leonard Cohen among others, but also for her strong originals and collaborations with artists like Jenny Hval, Ensemble neoN and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Her previous album 'Triangle' received notable international praise for its originality and musical ambition.
With 'Go Dig My Grave', her 12th album, she explores historic musical gaps by combining music from the Great American Songbook and old English traditionals with baroque instrumentation and her own, characteristic vocal interpretations. Add some Henry Purcell, some Lou Reed, and Susanna's own composition, and the unique complexity of Susanna's artistry is evident: 'Go Dig My Grave' is a profoundly personal collection of dark songs with deep roots through centuries of American and European musical heritage.
An unnerving combination of existential despair and musical beauty, 'Go Dig My Grave' presents a selection of songs straddling issues of lost love, abandonment – and a merciless thirst for liquor. Speaking about her new record, Susannaexplains, "I am attracted to the sad songs, and how people have used music throughout the years; it feels like they use songs and singing as a way of processing and dealing with of the difficult times in their lives. There's a lot of similarities in the dramatic ways of telling a story in the old English ballads such as 'The Willow Song' and 'The Three Ravens' and the American folk songs like 'Go Dig My Grave' – even if the newer folk songs has more of a straightforwardness to the tragedy."
The combination of songs and genres is in many ways an exploration of music itself. From the resigned and slow rhythm of the longing "Rye Whiskey" to the metaphoric English ballad "The Three Ravens", Susanna makes connections between the acute pain of American history and the poetic qualities of the more abstract European art. Ending with a version of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", slightly more lighthearted than the rest of the album, Susanna leaves the listener with a hopeful sense of the transformational qualities of musical expression itself.
The album marks Susanna's return to her collaboration with Swiss baroque harp player Giovanna Pessi. Pessi first appeared alongside Susanna on the album 'Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos', released on Rune Grammofon in 2007, and played a major role on the critically acclaimed ECM album 'If Grief Could Wait', a deep-dive into the sorrow-stricken music of Henry Purcell, Leonard Cohen and Susanna herself. This time the two have invited the talented young accordion player Ida Løvli Hidle and the great Norwegian fiddle player and folk singer Tuva LivsdaWer Syvertsen to form a quartet. The result is a dynamic band that easily masters subtle shifts from the simple folk feeling of songs like Elizabeth CoWen's "Freight Train" to the icy beauty of Purcell's "Cold Song" and the complex, centuries old lament of "The Willow Song".
A brand-new composition by Susanna also features on the album. "Invitation to the Voyage" is written to a poem from Charles Baudelaire's, 'The Flowers of Evil', banned in 19th century France for its treatment of decadence and eroticism. With this piece, Susanna continues a musical tradition of interpreting Baudelaire's words, following the likes of Alban Berg and Henri Dutilleux. The song plays on the historic soundscape that characterises much of the album, echoing the lyric symmetry and modal harmonies of the European ballad tradition, and is sparsely orchestrated by Pessi's soft harp and ominous coloration from the fiddle and the accordion. "Quite recently I started to read Baudelaire's 'Flowers of Evil'. I fell in love with the beautiful poems and got the urge to sing some of them," says Susanna. "This one is the first of the songs I have written to this poetry, and a wonderful mysterious world has opened up to me."
Produced by Deathprod and Susanna, 'Go Dig My Grave' was recorded at the world class Rainbow Studio in Oslo and is released on Susanna's own label SusannaSonata. It is one of several extensive projects for Susanna in 2017, among them a notable work commissioned for one of Norway's most important jazz festivals, Vossa Jazz. An hour-long piece inspired by the surreal pictures of the Dutch 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch was premiered at the festival in April, and Susanna's brand-new band, The Brotherhood of Our Lady, continues to play live in Norway through the fall of 2017.

Carmakers may need to cooperate for wireless safety tech rollout
Preventing car crashes through wireless car tracking is already possible. But the challenges of implementing the tech may require car manufacturers to hold hands and work together.
By Hannah Waters | February 26, 2012 -- 14:22 GMT (06:22 PST) | Topic: Innovation
The technology to hardwire safety features into vehicles that, for example, keep track of nearby cars to reduce minor collisions, is mostly here. Both BMW and Ford have announced details for such wireless safety features. Companies demonstrated such cooperative, wireless systems at the Intelligent Transportation Society World Congress back in 2005. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has even released a report suggesting that such systems could prevent 80 percent of minor crashes that don't involve drunk drivers.
So why don't we have it yet?
Over at Mashable, former car designer Steve Tengler compiled a list of the challenges facing the widespread implementation of such connected safety systems.
And one of the main problems is that, for the technology to be effective, it needs to have mass uptake in new and old car models. But it's hard to start that revolution, and no one wants to be first out of the gate.
Let's imagine you are a leading automotive manufacturer that holds 20% of the U.S. market. That market is projected to reach 14 million vehicles in 2012. Considering there are over 250 million vehicles on the road, you could potentially communicate with 1.1% of the vehicles after just one year, assuming you installed the $200-$300 worth of equipment on all of your vehicles.
The first customer to purchase a wireless device creates the equivalent of a tree falling in an unoccupied forest. How satisfied will he or she be? If there's no one else with whom to communicate, then not very satisfied at all. And how differentiating will that system be when all other automotive companies introduce systems that communicate the same information as your breakthrough device? Again, not at all. The moral to this story? In this case, being first has few rewards.
And that's just talking about new models. Unless there is enough widespread uptake at launch, how could you convince owners of older cars to dish out hundreds of dollars to install the tech in their vehicles?
One of Tengler's solutions is massive cooperation between car companies. If they spun a lot of hype around the technology and wireless safety features came standard in all models, "co-launching the system with one or two other vehicle manufacturers could easily result in 50-60% market penetration," he wrote. However, it's unclear whether that is enough to carry the tech to older models, which would make the safety systems actually useful.
So get on it, car manufacturers, and get some value out of your tech investment before driverless vehicles hit the market .

Who hasn't dreamt of ruling the Earth? Admit it, as a little kid you too dreamt of conquering the Earth and being the supreme overlord of the planet. Now we have a complete guide on how to realize this daunting task, wrapped up in a nice package of 234 pages. From the first step, selecting your target, to how you will live on the Earth after you have subjugated the inhabitants of this pale blue dot (see what I did there), this book tells you all you need to know. McIntee has painstakingly compiled everything you need to accomplish your objective. There are over 7 billion "intelligent" lifeforms on this primitive planet and they only occupy a fraction of it. No matter what star system you hail from, there is much more you can do than the tiny bit "they" do.
With that many "people," err workers, and that many natural resources, you are going to need to utilize them. Bless the Overlord! They have a system already in place, although they haven't used it widely for many of their years (roughly 11 cosmic weeks). These beings will adapt to their new schedule, it will just take some time.
This handy little guidebook is produced by the earthling publishing company known as Osprey Publishing, specifically Osprey Adventures. They have published many human pieces of literature about war: both the human military engagements as well as the machinery these primitive simpletons have used in such occurrences. This human company is based out of the Earth country they call the United Kingdom (whatever that means).
Miguel Coimbra is the artist responsible for the drawings contained within this manual. While they are not as good as our artists (back on our planet), they are quite good and show promise for this fledgling species. This species has not yet mastered the living artwork that we may be used to, but considering the medium he uses, the drawings are very good.
No matter what planet you hail from, whether you breathe oxygen, carbon monoxide, or some other gaseous molecule, you will find this information useful in your quest to conquer Earth, or whatever you call this simple world. If you have two legs you may find it easier than if you have four, or six, or however many and whatever kind of appendages you have, but this book will make the task somewhat easier.
From one alien overlord to another, I would have to say this is an interesting take on how to conquer a planet. Never mind that they will likely destroy themselves before any of us are able to muster the forces to do it, this book could prove useful if I ever find myself in that neck of the galaxy. I would give this book four out of five stars. It could have been more colorful, but that may just be my inhuman eyes unaccustomed to their somewhat bland color palette.
Very enjoyable read, and I am not just saying that because my alien masters made me do so. Osprey makes some great stuff!

Recap: Brussels Conference Boycotts Russia
Friday May 13th, 2022 by THE SYRIAN OBSERVER
A little more than 6 billion dollars were allocated for Syrians inside and outside Syria.
European Commission vice-president in charge for High-Representative of the Union for Foreign Policy and Security Policy Josep Borrell speaks during a press conference on the sidelines of the Sixth Brussels Conference on "Supporting the future of Syria and the region" at the European Council in Brussels on May 10, 2022. (Photo by Kenzo TRIBOUILLARD / AFP)
The Brussels VI conference on "Supporting the future of Syria and the region" was held on May 9th and 10th May in the Belgian capital. According to the European Commission, the goal of the conference is "to continue supporting the Syrian people in Syria and the region and mobilize the international community in support of a comprehensive and credible political solution to the Syria conflict, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254".
More than 6 billion dollars were allocated by donor countries to support humanitarian effort for displaced persons inside and outside Syria. Out of these, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield announced the United States is providing nearly $808 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the Syria crisis response, according to USAID.
Without Moscow
Russia however, was not invited to the conference, with the EU claiming that Moscow's aggression against Ukraine shows it lacks "a genuine interest to contribute to peace in the world", according to Devex.
As a result, Moscow described the conference as a "worthless western gathering", according to the pro-government newspaper al-Watan. In fact, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted in a statement, on Saturday, that the Brussels conference was held without the participation of representatives from Syria and Russia, and after losing the international sponsorship completely, it turned into a Western gathering that has no added value. Syria backed Russia's position, accusing the west of politicizing humanitarian aid by imposing political conditions, according to the pro-government Syria Times. The foreign ministry said in a statement that those conferences do not reflect any real commitment to help the Syrian people and return their rights, especially if we consider the fact that countries organizing or participating in these conferences occupy or support the occupation of part of the Syrian lands and loot the resources of the Syrian people in cooperation with their tools of the separatist militias."
The pro-government Athr Press also denounced the conference, as Donor countries confirmed that the funds allocated to support Syrians do not include the reconstruction issue, stressing that reconstruction funding in Syria will not be achieved until a political solution is reached in the country in accordance with UN Resolution 2254. In the previous version, donors pledged $4.4 billion in 2021 and $2 billion in 2022, while the United Nations was demanding $10 billion, reflecting the deficit in meeting needs, as well as declining interest in the Syrian issue.

Google rejects Palestinian accusations that they've deleted a reference to Palestine on its maps, insisting such a label never appeared.
Palestinian journalists protested at the weekend that Google removed the Palestine tag from its maps application. But the web giant says it never had a Palestine tag on its maps to begin with.
The journalists saw the removal of the name Palestine as a part of an Israeli plan to dismiss the existence of a Palestinian entity. A campaign was mounted on Twitter under the #PalestineIsHere hashtag.
"The Forum of Palestinian Journalists condemns the crime carried out by Google in deleting the name of Palestine, and calls for Google to rescind its decision and apologize to the Palestinian people," reads part of the statement from the Forum of Palestinian Journalists, posted to its website August 3.
The Washington Post reports though that Google hasn't changed its labeling of the region and that the search results are the same now as five months ago, where the word Palestine does not appear on a map including West Bank and Gaza territory.
Google says the complaints against them are baseless. "We have never had a 'Palestine' label on Google maps," the company told The Washington Post. But the company says it has found a bug that has deleted the tern West Bank and Gaza Strip which it is working to restore.
The Post's columnist Caitlin Dewey feels though the Palestinian protest "does raise some interesting questions about the power of mapping technologies like Google's.
"In their attempts to dispassionately document the physical world online, tech companies often end up shaping our understanding of it, too," Dewey writes.

A comfortable, adjustable cap suitable for daily wear - up to 23.5"
Ordered the platinum blonde wig and was very pleased with the colours however it would be better if the rooting effect was on all of the wig instead of the top as when I tried to part it, it looked very strange. It was very soft and felt very realistic however when I straightened it all of the fibres were already broken due to the curling process already used. The bottom of the wig would also tangle easily and stayed very thick compared to the rest of the wig. This wig would be perfect for someone who doesn't tend to style their wigs a lot and is happy with leaving it curled.
I loved this wig, I brought the dark chocolate and it is a very natural looking style and very believable I had everyone thinking it was my own hair.


SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Sequoia-backed Singaporean mobile services provider Circles.Life said on Thursday it plans to invest more than $250 million to roll out services in over five countries, including Taiwan and Australia, in the next 18 months.
Singapore's telecom market is set for a shakeup this year as a new player TPG Telecom is preparing to launch services. Last year, conglomerate Keppel Corp and Singapore Press Holdings offered to buy a majority control of mobile operator M1 Ltd.
The Circles.Life also said on Thursday that it closed a series-C funding round that was led by Sequoia, but declined to say how much it raised or its valuation.
"Some of our other investors include relatively big family offices in Indonesia, and folks behind companies such as (Philippines') PLDT, who bring a lot of global expertise as well as local knowledge," Abhishek Gupta, co-founder of Circles.Life, said at a briefing.
The company will invest more than $50 million in each of its new market launches, it said in a statement. However, the investment amount could change depending on the markets, Gupta said.
Circles.Life is among a handful of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) in Singapore. MVNOs typically buy access from carriers' networks at wholesale rates, and market their phone plans to specific users, such as more price-conscious consumers.

"I'm convinced, the close friendship and cooperation between Europe and the United States is crucial for mutual success," she added.
The former German defence minister said she would meet the US leader "at the beginning of 2020", but her office declined to provide more details.
Over the past three years, Trump has hit Europe with steel and aluminium tariffs, threatened similar levies on cars, and drawn up plans to target French champagne and handbags as retaliation over a digital tax in France.
In July 2018, the US and EU said they would pursue a limited trade deal as part of a truce, but the talks never made much ground.
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Tuesday deplored a "very unbalanced relationship with Europe" reviving tensions.
"That can't continue. There are a lot of barriers to trade there and there are a lot of other problems that we have to address," Lighthizer told Fox Business Network.afp


Cuba: what will happen after Castro?
President George Bush's latest restrictions on Cuba are intended to win Florida's Cuban vote in the November elections; they also express his obsession with ending the Castro regime rather than helping Cuba towards democracy. There are potentially dangerous contradictions within Cuban society and politics.
A DECADE ago the Cuban regime seemed on the point of collapse. The Soviet Union, the island's main sugar buyer and oil supplier, had disintegrated. Cuba needed to rebuild its economic strategy to adjust to the new balance of power and to do so in near-total isolation despite the wave of neo- liberalism then sweeping the globe.The 1990s were a dark era for Cuba and Cubans suffered.
The economic policy introduced in 1993 (a free agricultural market, legalisation of the dollar and more public-private companies) restored growth by the end of the decade. But it also triggered social upheaval and upended the values instilled by the revolution as the shift to a dual currency system widened the gap between dollar haves and have-nots.
Living standards have yet to reach 1989 levels and, although gross domestic product growth was 1.2% in 2002 and 2.6% in 2003, the generation who have worked through the "special period" for 14 years are exhausted. True, the import substitution policy of recent years has had significant successes. By using its own crude oil, Cuba is now nearly self-sufficient in electricity. Tourism is 70% supplied by domestic goods, which has reduced costs. And Cuba's advances in biotechnology, among other things, will enable it to help Nigeria and Namibia produce anti-Aids drugs.

Apple is said to launch a major iTunes Store update that will completely redesign it, 9to5mac reports. According to 9to5mac, the new redesign for iTunes Store Apple is working will make it easier and more user-friendly when searching for iTunes contents such as songs, videos, and applications so users can find contents faster.
The redesign will be available for the iTunes software on Mac and Windows PCs with either a small iTunes update and a new iTunes major upgrade. We might see the new redesign of iTunes Store this summer on OS X Mountain, 9to5mac says.

Occupy action at Seattle port: going ahead without union support
Labor unions have worked with Occupy Seattle in a number of ways, but leaders oppose shutting down a source of solid jobs.
Zachariah Bryan
/ December 10, 2011
The Port of Seattle. (Chuck Taylor)
Occupy Seattle — acting in conjunction with several other Occupy movements on the West Coast — faces a moment of testing on Monday (Dec. 12) when it will try to shut down the Port of Seattle.
As it stands currently, Occupy Seattle has no support from the unions representing the workers they wish to support, and Occupy leaders have had to resort to soliciting individual workers in hopes they will refuse to cross picket lines. Some union activists along the Coast say that workers will respect the Occupy action, however, according to some reports.
"We don't support it," said David Freiboth, Executive Secretary of the M.L. King County Labor Council, about the action aimed at the port. "We don't think it's the right target."
The Labor Council otherwise has been largely supportive of Occupy Seattle and its message, offering classes, collecting and dropping off supplies, and even helping protest. But while the Labor Council understands that Occupy Seattle is trying to hit the corporations, Freiboth said, shutting down the port would simply hurt too many workers.
The Port of Seattle's spokeswoman Charla Skaggs echoed this statement.
"We never support shutting down the port. Port activities generate tens of thousands of family wage jobs. And these are the types of jobs that are part of the 99 percent," she said. "These are the kinds of jobs that we believe… the economy depends on."
Skaggs said that the Port of Seattle is committed to keeping the port open, but would not say what course of action they would take should Occupy Seattle succeed in shutting down the port.
Likewise, Rob McEllrath, president of the International Warehouse and Longshoremen Union (ILWU), sent out a memo to all of the local unions denouncing the event.
"The ILWU shares the Occupy Wall Street movement's concerns about corporate abuses and the future of the middle class," McEllrath said, but he continued to say that they would not support any action made on their behalf by outside forces.
"Only ILWU members or their elected representatives can authorize job actions on behalf of the union, and any decisions made by groups outside of the union's democratic process do not hold water, regardless of the intent."
Without labor unions to beef up the numbers, Occupy Seattle may have trouble carrying out the shutdown. However, Phil Neel, a spokesman of the movement, said that outreach efforts have been larger than ever and that the responses from individual longshoremen and, especially, port truckers, some of whom are immigrants, have been supportive.
In addition, Neel said there are several local high school walkouts planned, and that with those extra numbers, Occupy can be confident of shutting down the port. Occupy Seattle plans to avoid intruding on the properties where the terminals are, but instead will be setting up a picket line at the entrances, which they hope longshoremen will respect.
In an interview with Worker's World, which was also posted on various West Coast sites, Bay Area ILWU veterans Clarence Thomas and Leo Robinson explained that the workers would respect the picket line even though it was a non-union action.
"We don't cross community picket lines. When people begin to do so they have completely turned their backs on the ILWU's 10 guiding principles," Thomas said.
However, it is uncertain whether union workers generally will follow this argument on Monday, or if they will ignore the picket lines and go to work as usual. The question for all of the Occupy movements, then, is whether they will succeed in closing the ports, or if a lack of union support might result in a flop with larger reverberations.

Sayyed Nasrallah: All Israeli Platforms Will Be under Hezbollah Fire, If Lebanon Is Prevented from Extracting Offshore Gas
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah
Mohammad Salami
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Saturday that none will be able to extract the maritime oil and gas if Lebanon is prevented from doing that, adding that this rule will govern the upcoming stage.
In a televised speech, Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that who imposed on the United States and 'Israel' the maritime deal can be the guarantee in this regard.
Sayyed Nasrallah called for trusting God and the Resistance, underling the importance of the state stance and the popular support to reach the major maritime victory.
Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the major achievement of the demarcation, adding that the UK and France delineated in 1923 the Lebanese-Palestinian border, which has become since then internationally acknowledged.
His eminence noted that the demarcation of the borders was abandoned during the twentieth century, pointing out that, after 2000, several studies conducted by certain states confirmed Lebanon has offshore oil and gas resources, which necessitated maritime border demarcation.
"This fortune has become a bad need for the Lebanese state and people."
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that the Zionist entity considers that its borders are from the Nile to the Euphrates, and it does not initially recognize borders, and considers that its borders are where its strength and might reach.
Sayyed Nasrallah explained the legal difference between the territorial waters (TW), the Contiguous Zone (CZ), and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), showing a map that displays them with respect to Lebanon.
White: TW, Light Blue: CZ, Dark Blue: EEZ
Hezbollah leader then displayed a map that shows the area (around 879 square kilometers) which Lebanon restored after the maritime agreement and lies between line 1 and line 23.
Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated that Hezbollah has never interfered in identifying the borders, adding that the Resistance is just responsible for liberating what the Lebanese state classifies as occupied by the Israeli enemy.
Sayyed Nasrallah also called on the Lebanese groups which voiced objections to the agreement to continue their struggle to reach line 29 without swearing and accusing others of betrayal, adding that they should have started their struggle in 2011 when the governmental decree was issued.
Hezbollah Chief recalled that, between 2009 and 2010, the Lebanese officials agreed to task House Speaker Nabih Berri with leading the negotiations, adding that he did not relinquish even a glass of the Lebanese water.
To know more about maritime negotiation lines, Al-Manar prepared in August a detailed report on the issue.
Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that the first US mediator Frederick Hof proposed that Lebanon restores only 55% of its maritime rights, adding that Speaker Berri did not make any concession in this regard.
"The Resistance wasn't asked to do anything before the end of the negotiations, but we were aware of what is going on.
According to Sayyed Nasrallah, the indirect maritime talks in Naqoura reached a deadlock in light of the US pressures on Lebanon to accept Hof's proposal.
Sayyed Nasrallah added that Biden's administration appointed Amos Hochstein as a new mediator, noting that his proposals were better than Hof's ones, yet did not match the Lebanese demands in the beginning.
Hezbollah leader recalled that the Lebanese officials considered the advent of the Greek ship to start extracting oil from Karish field is an aggression on Lebanon, emphasizing that the Resistance, accordingly, vowed to prevent the Israeli enemy from extracting gas before the maritime border demarcation.
"All fields and facilities in the occupied Palestinian waters are within reach of the missiles and drones of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon."
Due to the unified stance of the Lebanese officials and Hezbollah military readiness to confront all the choices, the Israeli enemy face a dilemma of either stopping gas extraction from Karish or engaging in a war, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, who pointed out that this dilemma pushed the Zionists to select the indirect negotiation as a solution.
Sayyed Nasrallah said that the negotiations used to face a deadlock at some points, adding that a comprehensive war was about to break out.
The US administration was pressured by the repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war and wanted to reach a settlement for the maritime dispute by all means, according to Sayyed Nasrallah.
Despite the heavy pressures on the Lebanese negotiators, Lebanon managed to liberate a large area and all the gas blocks till line 23, and the firms, tasked by the Lebanese authorities, can start their operations, Sayyed Nasrallah noted.
"Lebanon has attained the important achievement of lifting the US ban on the oil companies' operation in the Lebanese waters. Lebanon remained defiant in the face of the American pressures and the economic crisis, rejected the Hof Line, obtained Line 23 which it demanded, and insisted to obtain all maritime blocks in its exclusive zone, which it obtained indeed."
Hezbollah leader displayed the only remaining issue that has not been resolved yet as Lebanon expressed reservation about it, adding that the Israeli enemy has positioned a line of buoys that admits a different territorial position.
The following map shows the Israeli line of buoys that violates the Lebanese borders.
Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the Resistance threats, the people support and the firmness of the official stance which challenged the foreign pressures contributed to the achievement.
Lebanon was on the verge of a war, but the Israeli enemy backed off, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, who hailed Lebanon's wisdom and strength in face of the threats of the Israeli enemy and the United States.
Sayyed Nasrallah maintained that the Israeli enemy did not obtain any security guarantees as a result of the agreement, adding that the Lebanese signature was placed on a separate copy of the agreement and denying any trace of normalization in all the procedures.
The Resistance Leader said, "We have liberated this region and the freedom to work, and companies can go and work seriously."
Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that the Israeli enemy by the Resistance readiness to engage in an all-out war, adding that the Zionists think that Hezbollah has been deterred since 2006 war and due to the socioeconomic crisis storming Lebanon.
When the Resistance launched the drones over Karish, the Israelis took its threats seriously, according to Sayyed Nasrallah.
Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed that Hezbollah is after Lebanon's peace and security, adding that, however, when the the Lebanese interests impose breaking the rules of engagement, the Resistance will do.
In this concern, Sayyed Nasrallah warned the Israeli enemy against miscalculating Hezbollah stance and thinking that it is deterred.
Sayyed Nasrallah called on the Lebanese authorities to follow up the gas extraction issue seriously as Lebanon lost a long time during the negotiations, stressing that the Resistance will guarantee Lebanon's rights by preventing the enemy from extracting gas if Lebanon is prevented from doing so.
According to Sayyed Nasrallah, the Palestinian resistance contributed to Lebanon's maritime victory by engaging in clashes with the Zionist enemy across the occupied West Bank, adding that this forces the Israeli enemy to deploy half of its troops in the WB.
Sayyed Nasrallah added that European need for the Middle East gas and the readiness of the Resistance allies in the region (Yemen, Iraq, Palestine, Syria) to support Hezbollah in the war contributed also to the victory.
Sayyed Nasrallah also maintained Israel's inability to engage in a war due to the internal conflicts, the economic aspects of the gas extraction and other reasons imposed on the occupation entity to accept the agreement.
Sayyed Nasrallah underscored that all the Lebanese must celebrate reaching this achievement, warning against underestimating the efforts of any party in this regard.
Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that Amal Movement voiced clearly its readiness to confront any Israeli war on Lebanon if the negotiations fail, hailing this stance as a contribution to the victory.
Sayyed Nasrallah started his speech by offering condolences on the death of the two clerics Sheikh Ismail Khatib as well as Sheikh Hussein Abdullah and congratulating Palestine's Islamic Jihad Movement on martyrdom anniversary of Leader Fathi Shaqaqi.
Sayyed Nasrallah also stressed that the heavy participation in Shiraz martyrs funeral confirms Iranians' decision to confront foreign sedition conspiracy.

F1: Jenson Button's brilliant weekend in pictures
Weekends don't get much better than the one Jenson Button had at the Hungarian Grand Prix. It began with celebrations to mark his 200th race, ended with more celebrations to mark his victory – and somewhere in the middle there was even a rainbow over the McLaren Brand Centre.
Drivers turn out to mark Button's 200th GP
At the start of the weekend a party hosted by McLaren to mark Button's landmark race attracted the sort of friendly camaraderie usually only offered to racers at the end of their career, liked by all but feared by no-one.
Button's former team bosses Ross Brawn and Sir Frank Williams chatted with his current employer Martin Whitmarsh while, among the drivers attracted by the cake and the bubbly, bitter rivals Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso could be seen arm-in-arm.
Come Sunday, Button demonstrated he was good for a few years yet at the top by showing them all a clean pair of heels in a race where his victory owed as much to his supreme skills in changeable conditions as it did to his team's strategy calls.
He said: "I want to say a big, big thank you to the team today. The car worked a treat in all conditions, and we made all the right strategy calls. We deserved this win and it felt great to stand alongside my race engineer Dave [Robson] on the occasion of his first appearance on the podium.
Celebrating victory
"The race was a brilliantly eventful one. I had a good battle with Lewis when we were running one-two. We were both driving on the limit and the gap ebbed and flowed, depending on the traffic. It was good fun and I was sorry that we weren't standing up there on the podium together at the end of it all.
"This was the perfect way to celebrate my 200th Grand Prix, and the team can enter the summer break with a spring in its step. We know we have a good car, so let's enjoy our holidays and come back even stronger at Spa-Francorchamps. I'm excited about that race already."
Whitmarsh added: "What a way for Jenson to celebrate his 200th Grand Prix! Just brilliant! Fantastic! Those were very, very difficult conditions this afternoon, and it was easy to get it wrong, but Jenson drove a great race. His measured yet combative drive was a testament to how naturally smooth and smart he is on the racetrack, and he really deserved this win."
As for his rivals, well, at least some of them got cake.

The Europe district of the US Army Corps of Engineers has been working with a Master Planning effort since 2011 and by the end of this calendar year will have successfully completed over 10 net-zero installation plans which includes energy audits, benchmarking (EnEV), and a strategic action plan to identify and reach the target energy intensity unit for the entire installation.
-Identify Installation EUI and WUI reduction trends and renewable enhancement trends.
The process not only combines level 2 ASHRAE audits of a million square feet or more, but also results in the development of project programming documents for implementation of ECMs (4283 Project Sheets developed) and distributed renewable opportunities on the audited buildings. The plan is also supported by a Sustainable Framework Plan that looks at master planning through the net zero lens of Alternative Transportation, Green Infrastructure and Renewable Energy resources.

Storm Damage Forces Closure of UConn Biotechnology Building
Daniela Doncel

High winds and heavy rain damaged a ventilation stack weighing at least 500 lbs on top of the Agriculture Biotechnology Lab (ABL) at the University of Connecticut, resulting in a quick evacuation this morning, according to UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz.
An announcement was sent via UConnALERT stating, "Due to damage from high wind, occupants of the Agriculture Biotechnology Lab (ABL) must immediately exit the building…The building will be closed at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 2 until further notice."
The large ventilation stack was damaged, pushing it onto the stack next to it which creates a possibility of the stack falling, therefore being a danger to anyone nearby, according to Reitz.
Reitz said, "The building is structurally safe and poses no danger to those who have been inside, but it must be closed due to fire codes because the exits are blocked as part of the emergency response."
The entrances around the ABL were blocked for the fire and police perimeter in the area, Reitz said.
No injuries have been reported, according to Reitz, and repairs will begin once the weather conditions permit.
The notice from UConnALERT was sent out at around 9:40 a.m.
The Dairy Bar located near the building took no damage and will operate on its regular schedule, Reitz said.

Lunar New Year: Year of the Dog Starts with a Bang


I recently had the opportunity to volunteer for an emergency planning exercise. Since this is a future career field, I was fascinated by the process. There were participants from a variety of city and county emergency service agencies, as well as a private security company. I learned a lot about inter-agency relationships. There are many moving pieces in crisis management and the organization and mobilization of such a diverse group is no easy task.
1. Communication is the most critical piece of the puzzle.
For communication to be effective, both the sender and receiver have to actively participate. "Communication is one of those areas that can always be improved," said the emergency manager in charge of the exercise. I couldn't agree more.
Communication is vital because it ensures everyone understands the plan and rules in the same way. If communications to staff surrounding crises are inconsistent, employees might end up fighting each other on process and logistics. In critical, crisis moments, there really isn't time for that. Because we serve the public, there's always too much at stake. An inter-agency situation can make communication planning even more difficult, but possibly more important, too.
2. Practice should be taken seriously.
Don't think about safety drills or required trainings as inconvenient. Often the fire alarm goes off and suddenly no one wants to be taken away from their work. Even though we think we already know the information in these lessons or the exercise isn't teaching us about situations we'll have to deal with, we should take them seriously. The content is important enough that every single person who works in your organization has to learn it. That's saying something, isn't it?
3. Inter-agency relationships are a good thing.
While there are exceptions, most public servants work with people from other organizations. Sometimes this creates tension. Given the prevalence of inter-agency work, I think we should try to get over that hurdle.
Instead of thinking of those relationships as obstacles or inconveniences, think of them as opportunities. They are opportunities to learn about another agency and the bigger picture. Opportunities to represent your own organization well and opportunities to learn from others' best practices.
Inter-agency relationships help us stay on top of our game, protect us from groupthink, encourage us to have open and collaborative minds and creating super additivity in our output – That means that two people with diverse personal or professional backgrounds are going to generate greater output than two people with similar backgrounds.
Planning is so important. Fire, law enforcement, private security, media relations, emergency medical services and others came together to achieve a common goal during the exercise. There is no way the day could have gone as well without extensive planning. Taking time to plan things the right way, with thorough intention and care, saves time in the long run. When a good blueprint is in place, we can spend less time filling in gaps and more time supporting our missions.
5. Public opinion impacts success.
When the public is confused about your agency's actions because they are feel they are being kept in the dark, there's too much room for them to fill in the blanks with speculation. Have a media plan. Know what to say to reporters. Know what to say to your friends. Establish consistent messaging so that others in your organization know the plan.
In class, we have been learning that public opinion can have a huge impact on an agency's ability to provide efficient services. With emotions running high, as they inevitably do in crisis situations, having control over your public narrative can be the difference between being considered successful or unsuccessful.

Most Holy Trinity, Year C, Catechist
To prepare for the session, read all the readings.
Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9
The Feast of the Holy Trinity was included in the universal calendar of the Church in 1334 by Pope John XXII. Before that, its origins can be traced to the middle of the fourth century, when the Preface of the Holy Trinity was composed, and to the start of the ninth century, when a votive Mass of the Trinity was first composed. The liturgy's celebration of the Trinity arose as a response to the fourth century heresy of Arianism, which denied the divinity of Christ, and gave rise to the formulation of the Creed we still recite at Mass every Sunday.
The Book of Wisdom, although it contains material that is much older, dates in its present form to the fifth century before Christ. The author seeks to reassure post-exilic Judaism of the abiding presence and desire of God to offer guidance to the people of the Covenant—a guidance that would be on a par with the "wisdom" available among the pagan nations. Previous generations had found in the Davidic dynasty such a guarantee, but the events of the exile had shaken the faith of many. Wisdom is offered here as a source of comfort for a nation still seeking to regain confidence in its own future. In this passage divine Wisdom is personified, a rather daring poetic license for the sacred author in the aggressively monotheistic milieu of Judaism. Wisdom describes herself as present with God before and during creation. The suggestion being made, of course, is that if she was there at creation she must surely know the "secrets" of the universe. Christian faith was quick to see in this passage a foreshadowing of Christ, whom Paul calls the very "wisdom of God" (1 Cor. 1:24).
John's Gospel today is a carefully constructed Last Supper discourse. The early community of believers had come to recognize the Spirit of Jesus as an abiding source of truth, comfort and guidance. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, his disciples came to a deeper and fuller understanding of all that he had revealed to them during his ministry (see John 15:15: "I revealed to you everything I heard from my Father"). The disciples came to understand that the promised Spirit was the source of that deeper understanding, the one who would guide them "to all truth." In the setting of the Last Supper, Jesus promises that the Spirit will come. By the time John's Gospel was written, the community had long since recognized in their own experience the fulfillment of Jesus' promise. Once again, we see how today's scriptures testify to the doctrine of the Trinity by revealing the lived experience of the Christian community, an experience that only later came to be formulated in more abstract fashion as a dogma of faith.
One enters into the salvation offered by God being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Our faith as followers of Jesus, as Christians, rests upon the foundation of the Trinity. It is important to note that at baptism we are baptized in the name, not the "names," for we hold that there is only one God, the Father, his beloved Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity.
Catholic teaching describes the Trinity as the central mystery of our Christian faith and life because it is the mystery of God's very self. It is, therefore, the font of all the other mysteries of faith, the doctrine which underpins all the rest.
This mystery is reflected in the way in which the Church prays. All of the longer endings of the formal prayers in the Sacramentary, after being addressed to the Father, conclude with "We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever." We begin Mass in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


The VARCLUS procedure is a useful SAS procedure for variable reduction. It is based on divisive clustering technique.
All variables start in one cluster. Then, a principal components analysis is done on the variables in the cluster to determine whether the cluster should be split into two subsets of variables.
If the second eigenvalue for the cluster is greater than the specified cutoff, then the inital cluster is split into two clusters. If the second eigenvalue is large, it means that at least two principal components account for a large amount of variation among the inputs.
To determine which inputs are included in each cluster, the principal component scores are rotated obliquely to maximize the correlation within a cluster and minimize the correlation between clusters.
This process ends when the second eigenvalues of all current clusters fall below the cutoff.
If a cluster has only 1 variable in it, it means that this variable has only one principal component and hence, second eigenvalue of this variable is 0.
The HI option specifies that the clusters at different levels maintain a hierarchical structure that prevents variables from transferring from one cluster to another after the split is made. In other words, variables cannot be reassigned to other clusters as they are assigned once in a cluster.
The SHORT option suppresses some of the output generated by PROC VARCLUS.
By default, maximum clusters is equal to the number of variables in the model. The MAXCLUSTERS option can be used to specify the largest number of clusters desired. It's better not to specify the option and let SAS decides the number of clusters.
By default, PROC VARCLUS uses a non-hierarchical version of this algorithm, in which variables can also be reassigned to other clusters. The HI option is used to run hierarchical version.
Larger eigenvalue thresholds result in fewer clusters, and smaller thresholds yield more clusters.
Variables belonging to different clusters may be correlated as it is a type of oblique component analysis.
A best variable has a high correlation with its own cluster and has a low correlation with the other clusters.
A variable that has the lowest 1- R-squared ratio is likely to be a good representative for the cluster. It means maximum correlation with own cluster and minimum correlation with next cluster.
Why lowest 1 - R-squared ratio?
It is because when a variable has maximum correlation with own cluster and minimum correlation with next cluster. the 1- R**2 ratio will be minimum. See the formula below.

Excellent Article!!!.I have been looking for this logic.
Amazing! Easy to follow with clear explanations.
Thank you for your lovely words. Cheers!
Can you suggest how do we perform the same in R?
Good job Deepanshu ! The 'R-square own cluster' & 'R-square next cluster' is not clear from your article. Specifically I mean 'next' is not explicitly presented here with clarity.
Can't we use proc factor for variables reduction?
whats th password for the excel?
Can someone please explain how to calculate R-squre within and next closest cluster?
