EB-5 Investment from Saudi Arabia
Although the United States surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia in 2018 to become the world's largest producer of crude oil, Saudi Arabia has amassed great wealth over the last half century with its own plentiful oil reserves. This has enabled it to maintain a large presence on the world stage, and it is home to an abundance of moneyed residents. Nonetheless, the recent crackdowns by the Saudi government against dissenters and perceived corruption have led to increased interest in Saudi EB-5 investing.
Wealth and Economy
As a result of its large oil reserves, Saudi Arabia is known for containing some of the world's richest people, especially among the royal family and its associates. It currently is home to more millionaires than any other Middle Eastern country, totaling 176,000 in 2017. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has also launched an ambitious plan called Vision 2030 to diversify the Saudi economy, reduce its dependence on oil, and expand public service sectors throughout the country.
MBS has been seen by many as a reformer for the Saudi people, purging corruption within the government and royal family and ushering new changes into the kingdom. The most publicized reform has been the repeal of a long-held ban on female drivers. However, it is still common for Saudi activists to be detained and tortured for expressing dissent, and the Crown Prince has been heavily criticized for his country's role in the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. MBS has also been embroiled in the scandal surrounding the 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Kashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. Political instability in Saudi Arabia has prompted many potential EB-5 investors to seek safer ground in a more liberal environment.
While Saudi Arabia welcomes expatriates into its workforce, their presence in the country must be tied to a sponsor and a specific work contract. The government offers no visas for retirees or opportunities for naturalization, making it quite difficult for non-Saudis to stay in the country after retirement5. This policy was enacted to prevent non-Saudi citizens from taking advantage of the country's retirement and health benefits. As such, EB-5 visas might be an appealing option for wealthy non-Saudis after they retire.
Crime rates among the Saudi population are low, but this is likely due to the extreme punishments given to criminals or those who dare to speak out against the government. Penalties include lashings, torture, amputations, excessive prison sentences, and public beheadings6. Another issue of concern in Saudi Arabia is the ballistic missiles being launched across the border by Houthi rebels in Yemen since 2015. This is in response to Saudi Arabia's continued military presence in Yemen. There is also an increased risk of terrorist attacks in the country, though the Saudi government has strengthened its security forces in response7. Still, many wealthy Saudis prefer to move their families to a more stable location.
As the home of the largest desert on Earth8, Saudi Arabia's frequent sandstorms compound the air pollution already emitted by factories and vehicles in its cities. The Saudi capital of Riyadh is now one of the most polluted cities in the world9, with current pollution levels shortening the average Saudi's life by 1.5 years10. Agricultural practices and city expansion risk threatening the country's rich biodiversity as well. Other large risks are oil spills, desertification, and shrinking underground reservoirs of water. The Saudi government is making some effort to transform the country into a more environmentally friendly economy, but sustainability is not yet a popular concept among the Saudi public8.
Elementary through high school education is free for all Saudis, with a slightly lesser enrollment rate for girls than boys. Saudi Arabia is also creating more than 150 vocational training centers across the country so as to decrease its economic dependence on oil11. Thousands of Saudi students are sent to American universities as well, with the total reaching almost 60,000 in 2018. The vast majority of these students are sponsored by the Saudi government, with the intention that they will use their newfound knowledge to benefit the kingdom upon their return12.
EB-5 Project Selection Preferences
As in Vietnam, Saudi EB-5 investors prefer large, flashy projects boasting established brand names. EB5AN frequently works with Saudi project developers and sponsors to assemble the required project documentation for EB-5 Form I-526. EB5AN also provides sponsorship through its 14 USCIS-approved regional centers for projects seeking Saudi EB-5 investors.
Capital Flow and Other Challenges with the EB-5 Process
The Saudi government imposes no limits on how much money can be moved out of the country, assuming the money is earned legally. Saudi EB-5 investors and foreigners working in Saudi Arabia must ensure that the money they try to transfer matches their earnings on paper. Otherwise the government has the authority to open an investigation into the funds13.
Marketing Channels for Investors
Like in India, the Saudi EB-5 market consists of only a few experienced agents. Most Saudi EB-5 investors are sourced through small entities such as travel agencies, chartered accountants, wealth managers, and real estate brokers. In addition, regional centers and project sponsors target many Saudis directly through in-person seminars in Saudi Arabia itself. Saudis already in the U.S. on visas such as the H-1B or F-1 are also targeted.

Competitor Collaborations in Canada in Response to COVID-19
April-9-2020
Lawyer Justine Johnston, Michael Koch, David Rosner
Area Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment
Certain types of agreements among competitors related to prices, sales and specific other matters are contrary to the criminal provisions in Canada's Competition Act (the "Act"). As a result, collaborations among competitors create risks the Act will be contravened.
In guidance published April 8, Canada's Competition Bureau (the "Bureau") signaled it will generally refrain from exercising scrutiny over short-term collaborations that are vital to respond to COVID-19, and are undertaken and executed in good faith (and do not go further than what is needed).
The Bureau established a new process for companies seeking increased certainty that their collaborations in response to COVID-19 will not result in enforcement action under the Act.
Even with the Bureau's new process, risks remain for companies that enter into collaborations with competitors in response to COVID-19. Counsel can advise on procedures to help further reduce and mitigate those risks.
The Bureau's new process is similar to processes established by competition law agencies in other jurisdictions in response to COVID-19.
Canadian competition law prohibits certain types of agreements among competitors that, among other things, fix prices, allocate sales or otherwise control the supply of a product. Such agreements can result in a criminal conviction for companies and individuals, and a fine of up to CAD $25 million per count (and jail time for individuals). In addition, private persons can recover damages from companies and individuals that are parties to such agreements (including through class actions).
The Bureau published Competitor Collaboration Guidelines that provide guidance about the types of agreements or conduct that might attract either criminal enforcement under the Act or civil review. In a civil review, agreements or conduct are examined for their competitive effects. The Bureau will only take enforcement action for such conduct if it (i) prevents or lessens competition substantially, (ii) the competitive effects are not outweighed by any efficiencies, and (iii) the conduct, if subject to enforcement action, can only be prohibited by a civil order of a court (i.e., the conduct is not subject to criminal conviction, fines or jail time, or private actions). The Bureau's guidance is general in nature; it is not tailored to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the COVID-19 pandemic arose, the Bureau publicly warned it would watch for conduct that may contravene the Act, including illegal agreements among competitors. Companies have responded to the economic and health crises unfolding, and are seeking novel ways to supply products and services to market. The Bureau is mindful Canadian businesses face a number of unprecedented challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and published a new statement to assist companies considering competitor collaborations. The Bureau acknowledged the response to the pandemic may "call for the rapid establishment of business collaborations of limited duration and scope to ensure the supply of products and services that are critical to Canadians."
To Bureau's statement is intended to serve two principal purposes:
It is a "signal that in circumstances where there is a clear imperative for companies to be collaborating in the short-term to respond to the crisis, where those collaborations are undertaken and executed in good faith and do not go further than what is needed, [the Bureau] will generally refrain from exercising scrutiny."
It announces a new procedure whereby the Bureau will provide "informal guidance" to companies seeking "greater certainty and more specific guidance on whether the Commissioner of Competition would take enforcement action to proposed business collaborations necessary to meet the urgent needs of Canadians during the crisis".
To provide this guidance, the Bureau established a team devoted to providing "rapid decisions" in response to such requests from companies.
Before issuing guidance, the Bureau expects companies to submit information about their collaboration, including a description of the scope and duration of the collaboration, a description of what the collaboration is directed at, why it is necessary to achieve a COVID-19 related objective, and a description of any guidance from Canadian authorities.
The Bureau retains the right to make the guidance public to support transparency.
The Bureau's new process is separate from the Bureau's existing processes of issuing "Written Opinions" in response to questions about the legality of specific conduct. Significantly, obtaining a "Written Opinion" requires the payment of a CAD $15,000 filing fee, whereas guidance related to the response to COVID-19 does not.
The Bureau also noted any guidance it provides would not immunize the collaboration from a civil suit.
While the Bureau's statement provides assistance to Canadian companies in these exceptional circumstances, the guidance is relatively general in that it focuses on the good faith of the parties engaged in collaboration. It is also notable for what it does not contain. Among other things:
It does not contain descriptions of what conduct is "close to the line" and should not be subject to enforcement action if it is engaged in as part of the response to COVID-19.
The offer to provide informal guidance in specific situations does not contain an offer that the Bureau will monitor the collaboration. This would potentially give the companies additional comfort their conduct does not contravene the Act.
It does not contain a specific time period in which the Bureau will endeavour to provide the "rapid assessment" and otherwise respond to requests for guidance.
Companies seeking to rely on the Bureau's guidance are well advised to have in place procedures to govern and document their collaborations on an ongoing basis. Such procedures reduce and mitigate residual litigation risks by supporting any "after-the-fact" efforts to demonstrate compliance to the Bureau and to defend against possible civil suits.
Counsel can advise on procedures that do not hinder business activity and are easy to implement.
The Bureau's statement, and the process it establishes, is similar to initiatives by competition law agencies in other jurisdictions to facilitate business collaborations in response to COVID-19. Jurisdictions that have established similar procedures include:
United States. The Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice and the US Federal Trade Commission issued a joint statement announcing their intention to respond to all COVID-19 related requests within seven calendar days. The US Department of Justice issued its first response to such a request on April 4, advising in a "business review" letter issued to a number of distribution companies that it would not prosecute cooperation among them related to the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) and medications for COVID-19. Among other things, the letter noted that distributors' cooperative conduct would offer Americans several "unique competitive benefits," including "increase[ing] the supply of and access to PPE… at a time when supply shortages could threaten the health and safety," which would "outweigh any hypothetical anticompetitive harm." The letter also noted that the conduct was at the direction of other US government agencies (FEMA and Health and Human Services), the US Department of Justice would participate in the monitoring of the collaboration, and that the companies would only disclose competitive sensitive information to the US government agencies (and not among themselves).
United Kingdom. The UK Competition and Markets Authority published guidance about how it will prioritize its enforcement actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. That guidance recognizes that the pandemic may "trigger the need for companies to cooperate in order to ensure the supply and fair distribution of scarce products and/or services affected by the crisis to all consumers." The authority will not take enforcement action if temporary coordination by companies satisfies enumerated criteria. Although the guidance warns it is not a "free pass", it should provide comfort to those companies acting in the public interest and for the benefit and wellbeing of consumers.
European Union. The Directorate-General of Competition for the European Commission and the European Competition Network have each published statements acknowledging the positive role coordination among businesses can play in responding to COVID-19, and establishing new processes for providing informal guidance for companies wishing to engage in such collaborations in a manner that complies with all applicable laws.
If you have any questions about Canadian competition law during the COVID-19 pandemic, please contact any member of our Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment Group.


This book explores the possibility that global populations with the highest level of subjective well-being could be living differently and may have something to teach those with lower levels. How are the Nordic life philosophies manifested into their living environments to help promote increased well-being? Interviews and photos with various local residents highlight examples from across Nordic societies.


Avenue's brand didn't accurately portray the luxury lifestyle experience it offered its customers. We worked closely with them to rebrand and reposition their offering, and create a new finesse.
Subtle inflections in the brands manifestation allowed us to shift them into a new plane, keeping the brand simple whilst resonating with an understated elegance.
The new colour palette, used correctly with guidance from the Brand Guidelines, provides Avenue with a uniformed adaptability.

An intense card game with the characters of Capcom, so is Teppen
A few years ago I tried Hearthstone to make an article about the mobile version of a game that at that time was almost beginning. From that moment online card games began to rise in popularity and even the mythical Magic It was reformulated to adapt to the new times.
This is just what Capcom has done with Teppen, a new card game designed for mobile devices that lands on both iOS and Android.
The reason why I mention the Blizzard game is not trivial and is that it reminds us in many ways of this game although it gives me the feeling that Teppen is somewhat more complex or at least has more options.
Teppen opts for card decks
As in most of these games, part of the difficulty of the games, in which we will have to defeat the rivals, is to choose our cards well. These elements represent our characters but also our powers. We can get them for free by completing daily missions and connecting to the game from time to time but we can also get them by buying them with real money.
This is the way chosen to make the game profitable by Capcom, something that does not surprise us since it makes purchases optional but invite them to be made to get more cards.
We will also have a season pass, as in Fortnite, where we can discover exclusive cards. This pass has a cost, although if we play enough we can get it for free.
Battles with many aspects to consider
When we face a rival we have three slots in which we can put our cards, which will fight against those of our rival. As time passes and the combat progresses, they will die and we must replace them with others, which will be in the lower part of the screen, where we will have up to seven slots.
There also appear our hero power, which will allow us to interact directly with the enemy's troops.
Iconic characters and many game modes
Part of the appeal of the game is to be able to use many characters that are video game history, such as Street Fighter Ryu or the legendary Bomberman.
Also in Teppen We will have multiple game modes, from the individual in which the story of each character develops to others against other players, where we will try to reach as high as possible to obtain prizes.

Halve the unpeeled shallots and place cut-side-up in a large roasting tray. Trim the fennel, slice into 2cm wedges and add to the tray.
Using a pestle and mortar, bash the fennel seeds and chilli flakes, then sprinkle over the shallots. Drizzle over 4 tablespoons of oil, season and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the shallots are golden and coming away from their skins.
Wash the clams under cold running water, scrubbing the shells and pulling off any seaweed stuck to them. Make sure they are all tightly closed – tap any open ones, and if they don't close, discard.
Remove the shallots and fennel from the oven and turn up the oven to full whack. Remove the shallots and fennel to a plate, taking care to leave all the lovely juices in the tray. Remove and discard the skins from the shallots, then set aside until needed.
Add the clams to the tray of juices and pour over the wine. Pick and finely chop the parsley, finely grate the lemon zest, and mix most of it through.
Halve the lemon, rub with oil and pop in the pan, then cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the clams have opened (discard any that have not).
Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest and parsley over the dish and gently fold everything through the lovely cooking juices. Serve with glasses of chilled Italian wine and crusty bread.

To have a passion for Art, one must be an extraordinary person. Able to create things beyond your own imagination is truly a gift from God. To be view as a talented individual among peers, is far greater than anything I've ever dreamed. This is my life, the path I chose, and the future I look upon.
Started from crayons moving to color pencils to charcoal to computers and now the camera, I continue to use the fundamental principles of art. Within my charcoal drawings, I focus on light, shadow, mood and texture to create a three dimensional perspective.
Born June 17th 1984 in the south side of Chicago, Tracy Renee Leslie is one of the youngest of nine brothers and sisters. Started drawing in the 1st grade, she became the best in her class and rapidly became the top artist in the School. 2002 Renee Graduated from Dunbar High School majoring in marketing & Small Business Entrepreneurship. With Teachers and Mentors encouraging Renee to expand her talent, she decided to take her passion for art to a whole new level. June 2008 she graduated from The Illinois Institute of Art with a Bachelors Degree in Media Arts & Animation. During the Recession of 2009, it was almost impossible for Renee to find work. All the freelance work she received, they wanted her to do Film as well. 2010 she went back to AI to study Cinematography, where Renee received her first award for best Animation Short Film, from the Bronzeville Film Festival. As of today, Renee is a Cinematographer for Motion Pictures, owns a Branding/Marketing company B.B.A (BrandingBetterArtists), Co-Founder/Film and Media Director of a mentoring program G.T.W (GirlsToWomen), and still continues her drawings on her spare time.

While teaching physics at École Polytechnique in France, physicist Jean-Baptiste Masson used hair fibers as an example of a complex system that could be modeled simply. The example made him wonder: Does curly hair get more tangled than straight hair? He thought that a person sporting, say, Shakira's mane of curls would have more kinks than someone with pin-straight hair, but he wasn't sure.
So Masson enlisted hairdressers to count the tangles in 123 limp-locked people and 89 curly-haired people. Straight hair had an average of 5.3 tangles, nearly twice as many as curly hair. Masson then created a model to help him understand why straight hair is, oddly, more prone to knotting. His answer: The greater the angle of intersection, the more likely the hair will knot. Curly strands intersect more often, but strands of straight hair rubbing together at steeper angles than curly hair make for more knots.


What Kind of License Do I Need to Sell Beer?
There are many types of liquor licenses that can be obtained and they each server their own purpose. The size of your business, the amount of liquor, and the type of liquor you plan to sell can all have an affect on the type of license that you'll need to acquire. To sell beer from your business there are three different types of licenses that the state of California offers; On-Sale Beer and Wine, Off-Sale Beer and Wine, and On-Sale Beer.
The On-Sale Beer and Wine license authorizes the sale of all types of wine and malt beverages (beer, porter, ale, stout, and malt liquor) for consumption on and off the premises.
The Off-Sale Beer and Wine license authorizes the sale of all types of wine and malt beverages for the consumption off the premises in original, sealed containers.
The On-Sale Beer license authorizes the sale of malt beverages for consumption on and off the premises.


Problems are often surfaced only after integration services are in production, for example, services cannot meet real world throughput requirements in certain scenarios and new services crash intermittently. Meaning Ware is often called into service by our clients to perform service review, optimization and trouble-shooting. Meaning Ware records many success stories of helping customers resolve challenging technical issues in a short a time frame.
A major Australian container terminal port operator launched an integration service that integrated its terminal operating system with port business communities (e.g. truckers, importers & exporters, and Australian Custom Services). The integration platform however crashed intermittently and experienced slow performance, causing severe disruptions to the business. Meaning Ware used a combination of stress testing and Java profiling tools to replicate issues in lab environment and to locate potential problematic components in the system. By carefully reviewing architecture and analysing source code, several issues were detected and optimizations were applied. As a result, the integration platform no longer experienced unexpected outage and the overall system throughput increased by 4-6 times.

In this retrospective study (period of 1994-2006), records from the Patology Laboratory of the Veterinary Medicine Faculty, San Marcos University were used. There were a total of 4496 canine protocols of which 1128 were corresponded to neoplasms (25 ± 1.2%). Among them, 204 cases were in the mammary gland (18.1 ± 2.3%). Mammary neoplasms gland mainly occurred in females (94%) and in crossbred animals (38.3%). Dogs older than 10 years of age were most affected (46.4%). The inguinal pair was also the most affected (32.6%). Malignant neoplasms were more frequent (78%) than benign neoplasms. The adenocarcinoma was the most common neoplasm affecting the mammary gland (53.4%).

10 Best Remakes of the 2010s, From 'Cinderella' to 'It' (Photos)
Decade in Review: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Little Women" rank among the highlights of the decade
William Bibbiani | December 29, 2019 @ 8:46 AM	Last Updated: December 29, 2019 @ 8:59 AM
Remakes have been a part of the studio machine since at least as far back as 1904 when the groundbreaking "The Great Train Robbery" was reshot and resold. In the century-plus that followed, remakes have gotten a bad name for themselves and, to some, are indicative of the creative vacancy of the mainstream entertainment industry. But look closer and you'll find that many filmmakers are doing wonderful things by taking old stories and making them new again, either by adding visual flair or injecting nuance where, perhaps, there was little to be found before. Some of the best movies of the last decade were remakes. And these, we dare say, were the 10 best.
Runners-Up (alphabetically): "About Last Night" (2014), "Benji" (2018), "The Crazies" (2010), "Frankenweenie" (2012), "Ghostbusters" (2016), "The Jungle Book" (2016), "Murder on the Orient Express" (2017), "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (2013), "A Star Is Born" (2018), "We Are What We Are" (2013)
10. "Let Me In" (2010) Tomas Alfredson's modern classic Swedish vampire drama "Let the Right One In" was only two years old when Matt Reeves remade it for American audiences, but "Let Me In" is anything but a superfluous rehash. Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz bring their own pain and warmth to their characters (a bullied boy and the immortal vampire who takes a shine to him, respectively), and Reeves adds a handful of gruesome shocks that make Alfredson's icy original seem more brutal than before. "Let the Right One In" is the more mature and graceful film, but "Let Me In" is an expertly crafted crowdpleaser, equally valid but made for slightly different tastes.
9. "Pete's Dragon" (2016) Of the recent spate of Disney blockbuster remakes, David Lowery's "Pete's Dragon" is by far the loosest. Lowery transforms the original, quirky and bizarre musical into a focused and elegiac family fantasy about an orphaned boy raised by a dragon in the woods, and the family who wants to bring him back into the world without fully understand what he might lose in the process. Gorgeously photographed and sensitively acted, the new "Pete's Dragon" is its own beast, full of charm and love and ambition, and arguably better than the original.

8. "True Grit" (2010) The first time the Coen Bros. took a stab at remaking a classic film it was "The Ladykillers," and we've all collectively agreed not to speak about that. Their second, "True Grit," is a modern western classic. Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar-nominated for her big-screen debut, plays Mattie Ross, who hires the gruff and eccentric gunman Rooster Cogburn to hunt her father's killer. Jeff Bridges takes over the Cogburn role from John Wayne (it's the role than won Wayne an Oscar), and he makes the character over within the Coens' vivid vision of the west as ruled by loutish miscreants, all of whom lack the moral fiber of a teenage girl. A fantastic western from start to finish, filled with impressive detail and memorable performances.
7. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011) One of the most intriguing decisions any blockbuster franchise made this decade was to restart the "Planet of the Apes" series not by remaking the original, but by remaking the fourth film in the series, the underrated "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" (1972). Directed by Rupert Wyatt, the loose remake also tells the story of Caesar, the first intelligent ape who led a rebellion against his human oppressors. But without the baggage of multitudinous prequels, "Rise" is free to weave a distinctive new version of the sci-fi tragedy, in which a helpless animal forms attachments to humanity, only to watch his faith go unrewarded and punished before finally fighting back. Andy Serkis' performance as Caesar over the course of the three rebooted "Apes" movies is perhaps the most accomplished piece of motion-capture acting filmed so far, and the intelligence and sensitivity with which "Rise" sets up his journey is nothing short of stellar.
6. "Cinderella" (2015) Disney's original "Cinderella" is a triumph of animation, but the 1950 film's story and characters were undeniably underdeveloped by contemporary standards. Kenneth Branagh's luminous remake can't hold a candle to the original's historical significance to the medium, but it tells the superior version of the story, fleshing out Cate Blanchett's "wicked stepmother" character into a nuanced and sympathetic villain and giving Ella (Lily James) and her Prince Charming (Richard Madden) more time than ever to build a romantic bond before fate -- or at least, the magical stroke of midnight -- tears them apart. The remake views Ella not as a victim but as a principled heroine whose nobility emerges in ways that her persecutors cannot comprehend, let alone stifle. Branagh's "Cinderella" is one of the greatest fairy-tale movies.
5. "Evil Dead" (2013) Sam Raimi's low-budget, independent, raw, ultraviolent and hyperkinetic cult classic was remade by Fede Alvarez into a raw, ultraviolent and hyperkinetic film that's no less daring or subversive or grotesque for being paid for and released by a studio. In the remake, a group of young friends convene at an isolated cabin in the woods to help Mia (Jane Levy) battle her addiction to heroin, but along the way they accidentally release an ancient evil force that possesses Mia and tries to mutilate and destroy them all. The new "Evil Dead" captures Raimi's virtuosic storytelling -- and reminds us all just how limp and conventional most modern camerawork really is -- while subverting audience expectations about where this remake is going, and how despicably it's going to get there. It's just as frightening and bizarre as the original, remake or no.
4. "Suspiria" (2018) Dario Argento's hypnotic and hallucinogenic "Suspiria" defies conventional critical analysis, and searching its nightmarish surrealism for deeper meaning may have been beside the point. So it was bold as hell of Luca Guadagnino to remake "Suspiria" and to infuse the spooky narrative, about a ballet school run by witches, with vibrant political and social symbolism. Dakota Johnson stars as Susie Bannion, an American dancer studying under the great Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton), and veering further and further into the school's matriarchal world of empowerment and violence. As dense as the original is ephemeral, Guadagnino's complex and ambitious new take on "Suspiria" is the mirror image of Argento's classic and may reveal itself to be its own kind of horror classic as time goes on.
3. "It" (2017) The cries that the two-part feature film "It" adaptation isn't technically a remake of the two-part mini-series "It" adaptation have fallen on deaf ears; even the bloody format is the same. Andy Muschietti's new version doesn't have Tim Curry's iconically horrifying chuckle as Pennywise, but the first half is more interested in Stephen King's demonic clown as an insidious influence than as a scene-stealer. The story of a small-town "Loser's Club," comprised of adolescent outcasts who band together to conquer their fears -- as personified by Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård, absolutely terrifying) -- has been transported into the late 1980s and now takes on a truly epic quality. "It" is a superbly produced horror-thriller that doubles as a sharp and meaningful coming-of-age allegory. The follow-up, "It: Chapter Two," can't stick the landing, falling prey to tedious mythologizing and an over-reliance on flashbacks, but Chapter One stands perfectly well on its own, and is so frightfully effective it could be destined for classic status.
2. "Silence" (2016) In Scorsese's "Silence," a failure to be Christ-like is not a failure to be Christian. That's not necessarily the reading one gets from Masahiro Shinoda's original film version of Shūsaku Endō's 1966 novel about Christian persecution in Japan in the 17th century. The author was reportedly unhappy with that first adaptation, and Scorsese seems determined to explore the story in a different way. "Silence" stars Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Jesuit priests investigating claims that another member of their order has publicly renounced his faith under pressure from the Japanese government, who are eager to root out the western influence by any means necessary. Along the way, they too are challenged to give up their beliefs in exchange for an end to their suffering and the suffering of those they know. The film may be a tale of persecution, but it's not a simple "us vs. them" propaganda narrative; Scorsese seems most eager to frame the story as a thoughtful treatise on the seeming impossibility of genuine faith in a world of danger, doubt and endless complications. It's as fine and nuanced a work as any the filmmaker has ever crafted.
1. "Little Women" (2019) You know what they say about not fixing what ain't broke, but Greta Gerwig's remake of "Little Women" fixes parts of Louisa May Alcott's original novel, and its many adaptations, that some of us didn't even realize needed fixing. Gerwig's adaptation changes the timeline of the story, reframing it as a story being written instead of using the authorship of "Little Women" as a climax, and in so doing allows the love affair of Amy (Florence Pugh) and Laurie (Timothée Chalamet) to play as the most important relationship. (Previous adaptations sometimes made it seem like an afterthought, or worse, creepy.) The bold and welcome changes don't end there, but Gerwig blissfully keeps the majority of the wonderful, timeless story intact. The cast is as fine as any ever assembled -- no easy task -- and the family squabbles, the romance, the humor and the progressive themes are as radiant as ever, and arguably more intelligently presented than in any previous rendition.

Q: 2 quick notation questions re: vectors and transformations
*

*Is it customary to omit one pair of parentheses and  write $T  \begin{pmatrix} 1\\2\\1\\1 \end{pmatrix} $ instead of $T \begin{pmatrix}  \begin{pmatrix} 1\\2\\1\\1 \end{pmatrix} \end{pmatrix}$ to indicate the image of $\begin{pmatrix} 1\\2\\1\\1 \end{pmatrix}$ under T ?

*When writing it out by hand, do you prefer the straight or curly underscore underneath "v" to indicate that v is a vector (as opposed to a scalar) ?

A: For (1), I would specify something like $v = \begin{pmatrix} 1\\2\\1\\1 \end{pmatrix}$, and then write $T(v)$. I think that omitting the parenthesis could be unambiguous, but writing $T \begin{pmatrix}  \begin{pmatrix} 1\\2\\1\\1 \end{pmatrix} \end{pmatrix}$ frequently is going to get frustrating quickly.
For (2), in my experience, vector and matrix nomenclature depends very much on the field (as in subject matter, not algebraic structure).
Personally, in handwriting I prefer a harpoon over the symbol indicating that it is a vector. This is a personal preference question though, so probably best suited for community wiki.

California's Last Stand - Oppose Medical Mandates
wed08sep10:00 amwed3:00 pmCalifornia's Last Stand - Oppose Medical MandatesPlease join us on September 8, 2021 at 10:00am, at the California State Capitol for a rally and demonstration against ALL MEDICAL MANDATES.10:00 am - 3:00 pm
WHAT ARE AB1102 and AB455 ALL ABOUT?
***UPDATE*** AB455 has been delayed. AB1102 has been tabled as a gut and amend bill. AB455 or any medical mandate bill can still be brought to special session if Newsom stays in office, otherwise a version of AB455 will be introduced as a new bill in January.
AB1102 was a potential "gut and amend" bill that would allow employers to require the Covid-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. AB455 was also a "gut and amend" bill that intending to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations in order to enter any establishment, with exception to grocery stores and churches. The language also stated it would also mandate vaccination for all employees, or alternately be subjected to regular COVID-19 testing.
Medical mandates infringe upon our right to medical choice and bodily autonomy. And restrictions of basic freedoms and civil liberties, unless one is subjected to specific medical procedures, amounts to coercion and is an egregious human rights violation.
Opposition to medical mandates has nothing to do with your opinions on vaccination, the COVID-19 virus or testing, but everything to do with preserving human rights, freedom and the livelihood and prosperity of California citizens.
WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT AND SHOW THE MASSIVE OPPOSITION AND RESISTANCE TO THESE ATTEMPTS TO VIOLATE HUMAN RIGHTS!
Please join us on September 8, 2021 at 10:00am, at the California State Capitol for a rally and demonstration against ALL MEDICAL MANDATES.
10 -11am Distribute signs
11 – 12 pm Peacefully surround Capitol with demonstration signs

The event schedule is as follows:10 -11am Distribution of signs and T-shirts11 – 12 pm Peacefully surround Capitol with VisforVaccine signs12 – 12:30pm Massive crowd photo in front of Capitol1 – 3pm Speakers, including doctors and first responders
Rally Signs and T-shirts:V is for Vaccine is supplying 1500 pre-made signs and 1000 T-shirts. You can pick up a sign (first come, first served) on the West Steps between 10-11am. A donation of $10-30 per sign and $15 per T-shirt is recommended. You are also welcome to make your own sign that shares the reason YOU are against Medical Mandates! **Note: this is a family friendly event. Please be mindful of slogans, pictures, and overall messaging. Your sign will likely circulate in the media! We exist to protect your right to choose and we are the peaceful, professional, and friendly voice of vaccine choice!**
Capitol Grounds Etiquette:The Golden State! Let's leave our beautiful capitol grounds better than we found them! Please clean up after yourself and consider sticking around to help our volunteers make the West Steps look like we were never there!

We have an incredible day planned and I want to remind you that A Voice for Choice Advocacy and V is for Vaccines exist to educate, advocate, and build our community. We look forward to meeting you and rallying for our health rights together.
We have to keep the pressure on!
The only way to stop these and similar bills from coming back is to come to the California's Last Stand Rally, share the petition, vote Yes on the Recall, and remove Governor Newsom. Sign and share this petition to show your opposition to this bill and to mandating vaccines in California.
Get active on the Yes on the Recall Campaign through Rescue California (https://rescuecalifornia.org/). Regardless of your political affiliation, you should be concerned for the future of California if Governor Newsom is not recalled. Our legislature, both Assembly and Senate have a super Democrat majority and our Governor is also Democrat, which means there are no checks and balances. Anything the Democrats want to do they will get done. Furthermore, Governor Newsom has declared a State of Emergency since March 2020 and thereby legally has the power to order anything he wants, which he has. If Governor Newsom is not recalled, you will be guaranteed more vaccine mandates, more lockdowns, and more restrictions on businesses. There are strong replacement candidates, who have spoken out against mandated vaccines and who have said they would stop the state of emergency immediately. The change will come regardless of who is elected, but that can only happen if Governor Newsom is recalled.
(Wednesday) 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

I'm researching a 3-month time lapse installation and looking for any information about cameras to do the job. My Sony V1U does do interval recording (in 1080i mode not 1080P) which is OK - but I can't afford to hang it on a wall for 3 months. I'm specifically looking for either a HDV palmcorder or an inexpensive DSLR with a built in intervalometer that can be A/C powered and accept a wide angle lens attachment. The footage must integrate into an HD program so SD solutions are not acceptable (otherwise I'd stick my old DVX100 up there) so 1080 is key, and in the case of DSLR larger frame size is OK too for cropping etc. 1080i is acceptable because we can make it 24P in Avid/FCP/AE easily enough. Budget is under $5K.
I'm sure some folks have been doing this and have some insights, I would be interested to hear of any solutions - specific model numbers would be very helpful also.
I've done a multi-camera time lapse shoot of a log home construction site using 3 Olympus E-20N 5 megapixel DSLR cameras with built-in intervalometers. These were purchased used from B&H Photo specially for the time lapse shoot, along with simple but effective Tiltall tripods. I also rigged them with AC power supplies.
My son did the editing in After Effects. He got excited and posted a preliminary edit on YouTube. Two mistakes: unfinished work (1 camera only) and posted on his personal account, not the business account for the log home company. I chewed him out about it, but it is hard to force ourselves to take it off because it is the #1 hit on YouTube on the search term "log homes."
Time lapse is labor intensive. Daily chip changes, etc. Lots and lots of image files. Laborious edits.
Because of this, I worked at high resolution, and did the edit at HD also. Megapixel still cameras have resolution that will allow pan & scan work in post within the still frame images.
We supplemented with lock off shots of details using a Sony PD-150 DVCAM. This footage can be sped up to provide cutaways of things that happen too fast for time lapse cameras.
When I was prepping my shoot, someone warned me, "The problem with time lapse is you will always have either too many frames or too few frames."
Weather will be an issue.
+ Manual focus, set to infinity. Had some problems due to electronic focus controls.
You must check this at beginning of every day, esp. on "focus by wire" lenses.
+ Aperture priority exposure automation, to stop depth of field changes.
+ Ability to fix white balance to daylight, not auto.
+ Built-in eyepiece shutter -- you don't want light to enter the camera except through the lens.
Minor issue, especially because I bought used cameras... the auto naming convention in one of the Olympus cameras rolled over and reset during the course of a nearly month long shoot. This kind of thing can cause confusion. Avoid getting into a situation where you have to rename thousands of images - think everything through the edit before you begin.
We were meticulous about daily transfers to computer and a rigid hierarchy of daily folders, including Camera A, Camera B, and Camera C subfolders.
We've finished the 3-camera edit now, and added a soundtrack. Anybody who is planning a serious time lapse shoot can order a copy of the standard def DVD on the Satterwhite Log Homes website.
>>I'm sure some folks have been doing this and have some insights, I >>would be interested to hear of any solutions - specific model numbers >>would be very helpful also.
Harbortronics digisnap controller and power supply for about 475.
Get the largest CF card you can buy. Mount and house to your taste, set up the camera and controller & press go.
I had this same rig running for 2 weeks straight on Nikumororu this past summer shooting 24/7 with breaks to swap cards. & batteries. It was really bullet proof going from extreme tropical sun to pitch dark night and back again.
I didn't plan on doing this but when the anthropologist's time lapse rig proved to be inadequate I rigged this set up and it worked really well considering it got a little rain every night.
I'm sure you can make 1080 out of a 2560 X 1600~ish type of image some how.
The Nikon is pretty small, has plenty of accessories available for it and when you combine it with the digisnap controller , you really get a lot of flexibility.
What a great solution Mark. Considering the wear and tear on a tape machine and the possibility for errors, this sounds bullet proof. I don't know about the guy who asked but I'll definitely keep this idea in mind if I need to do a long time-lapse. What an inexpensive way to make high quality.

I think one's better off with a DSLR that can truly be run on manual, and I'd point out the discontinued Kodak ProSLR/n 14 Mpixel full frame was a very good camera with exceptional detail and highlight handling, plus a decent built-in intervalometer. They went for about $4500 new, but I'm sure can be found for much less. I have one that I rent out in LA. Full-frame is useful if you're looking to use real wide-angle lenses.
Current Nikon DSLR's for some unknowable reason do not have an intervalometer function.
On the cheap side, the Nikon P5100 is only a few hundred bucks, 12.1 Mpixels (4K x 3K), and has a very simple built-in intervalometer. The allowed intervals are 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m, and Nikon has a WA adaptor for it. It's a small point-and-shoot for people who also have a better camera, but don't want to lug it around :-) Main downside - no RAW.
But if you have a $5K budget, you should do better than this. None of the Canons have internal time-lapse AFAIK, though the 5D can be run from a laptop, etc., is full frame, and would be within your budget.

Maybe -maybe not on the DSLR. I don't like them because they have the mirror cycling for every shot, and with the example you cited I think 14.5 MP is a tad overkill for 1080i HD.
I can run my Nikon in total manual mode, but the beauty of auto exposure for the situation I was in was fantastic . As night came, the flash would start firing and I could cover the event all night and the flash would turn itself off in the morning as the light came up.
The other aspect of the low bucks approach I outlined is that the camera is taking very solid images, but I regard the cameras as disposable. I'm actually more concerned with my Digisnap controller & power supply than the actual camera.
The digisnaps have a really nice amount of programmability built in and its possible to have the camera wake up at a programmed time, shoot x amount of frames and go back to sleep.
Programming is done with the controller connected to a Mac or PC with a serial cable and a terminal app like X term, and you get a lot more to play with than some basic intervals.

It also works but it would not be what you would want for a 3 month time lapse because you would need to have a powered laptop connected to the camera.
KISS Camera + power + controller = success over the long term.
And you'd not have a video camera left after three months of head wear.
Time lapse controllers for a variety of digital cameras. Including Nikons.
They have a very decent-looking long term time lapse package, camera, solar charger and housing included for $2300 that might be just what you're looking for.

I haven't found noise to be objectionable with images from my cool pix when the image sequence is set into FCP. It could be that the scaling of the image to 1080, which is less than the native image resolution knocks out some of the noise?
I think the best bang for buck is a Canon d-10 (6.2MP used) and the TC-03 timer. Canon has been selling refurbs at Adorama for $600, the intervalometer is around $100, a $700 package plus glass. There are various ways to power this rig, and weatherize or vandalproof it at WW. Grainger. Depending on your framerate (based on what you're trying to catch), we figured an 8 GB card was enough storage for a 6 mos run with an image caught every 30 minutes (JPEG Medium size, fine quality). This size is at least twice the size of a 1080 frame.
Downside, there is no way to auto meter externally (ie, remotely outside of the frame) with standard dSLR equipment. It is possible, with many SLR's, that there may be some intraframe exposure fluttering, that the processor steps through the AE program in 1/3 stop steps and possibly that there is some variability in f stops on the lens (each exposure resets the diaphragm). This can be solved with a pass in AE (also the perfect app to make your sequence, retouch and scale/crop).
It looks like the DLSR solution with either Harbortronics or internal intervalometer will be the system to go with. Since it will be an indoor installation, the weather won't be a problem - but I really liked the Harbortronics solar-powered rig a lot.
Thanks to all for their input, and any other contributors with additional info also.

DSLR is good for glass options and for one other thing : I have burned coolpix cameras while photographing scenes with intense sun in the frame. A DSLR would clearly avoid the burn issue.
I'm not familiar with the Canon 20D, but I've been using the more automatic Nikon Coolpix S10 with some very good results.
The first shot is a full day from Sunup to Sundown with 5 minutes between shots. The second is a few hours of clouds shot at 30 seconds intervals. The third is a lazy afternoon, also 30 seconds (notice how the earth is affected by the clouds as they block the Sun in both of them). The very last shot in the reel is a sunrise time-lapse (again 30 seconds), but I reversed it to look like a sunset, since I liked that shot. To make things flow for the reel, I did a fade to black, but it starts getting light out well ahead of the actual sunrise. I like the effect of the light slowly coming forth and creating day. It's especially nice if you don't have too much light pollution in your area and can actually see the stars.
Even though mine's an automatic camera, it does a good job once the ISO exposure is set to 200 or below, and make sure to take it off auto ISO if your camera has it (you'll definitely notice it if you don't).
I have some experience with using DSLR's for time-lapses. The greatest advantage of the DSLR's (even the cheap Nikon D40) is the larger sensor over the compact cameras which equates to less noise. Many of the smaller compact cameras have noise at even an ISO of 100. newer DSLR's such as the D40 can go up to 400 without noise being an issue.
I'm using a Canon and have the TC-80N3 which is basically used as an intervalometer and it works beautifully. I have shot a day to night scene with an interval of 10 sec's and it will just shoot till the card fills up and its just my job to make sure the battery stays ok and the cards are changed. Exposure is on auto as the light varies and if it was on manual, severe overexposure will occur when the sun comes into frame. There is a little flicker effect due to the changes in exposure but this can be solved with a software specially designed for this issue but I really cannot recall it. I'm desperate for it as well so anyone who know that, pls post it.
The newer DSLR's are FAT32 which means cards larger than 2gb can be used. As for power sources, check out digitalcamerabattery.com....they have high capacity external batteries for cameras. Will be getting one once I get a new full frame camera.
Other than noise (which really is a big issue), the much better quality pixels of a DSLR will enable ken-burns effect to be achieved with ease.
I usually average about 2000-3000 images per time lapse and easily combined in FCP.


What made you choose Chatham's music program? It was a lot more diverse than programs at other universities. Chatham's program lets students explore other areas of interest all while taking core music classes like music theory, music history, and applied lessons in your instrument. For example, I am a double major in music and psychology. I have found that being able to study both of these disciplines while being here has helped me to explore what it is I would like to do with my life. This program is one of a kind, thanks to the attention paid to the student and the smaller class sizes. These factors make the program perfect for anyone looking to study music.
What instrument(s) do you play? I am a Ruud Scholar (music scholar) at Chatham. I have a concentration in vocal performance.
What experience has been a highlight of your music education at Chatham so far? I have had amazing opportunities at Chatham. I have worked with talented and knowledgeable professors, and had opportunities to perform in places only the pros get to. I've also been offered hands-on learning opportunities throughout my time here. I would say those experiences are the highlight of my music education here.
What made you choose Chatham's music program? I chose Chatham for music because I felt that I would do best in a small setting with more one-on-one instructor attention. I developed a close relationship with my instructors and I like that I can come to them at any time if I need help or guidance. Since Chatham is small, there are a lot of opportunities for exposure on campus if you have a craft or talent; you are able to attend unique, intimate concerts and easily talk to the musicians afterwards. You also get to make connections through your instructors and can get exclusive opportunities for music workshops and performance gigs.
What instrument(s) do you play? I play alto and tenor saxophone, and I am learning the basics on several other instruments in methods courses.
What experience has been a highlight of your music education at Chatham so far? I was able to play holiday songs before Candlelight in 2017 in a saxophone trio composed of myself, my instructor, and another Chatham student. I liked the exposure of having my peers outside of the music department get a glimpse of the music program in a more creative way than the student recitals, which usually only consist of other music students.
What made you choose Chatham's music program? I chose Chatham's music program because of the Ruud scholarship. The scholarship not only gives me extra lessons and class time every week but it pays the full price of my lessons.
What instrument(s) do you play? My main instrument is voice but I play saxophone, oboe, mellophone, trumpet, flute, guitar, and piano.
What experience has been a highlight of your music education at Chatham so far? I have enjoyed learning with Walter Morales and Kelly Lynch. They are amazing teachers and they have taught me so much. I look forward to continuing with them.
The Music Education Certification allows students to take classes at both Chatham and Carnegie Mellon while only paying Chatham tuition. At Chatham, students take the courses required for the Music major. Concurrently, at Carnegie Mellon, students cross-register for the courses required for certification in Music Education. In four years, upon successful completion of all courses in both programs, students receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Certification in Music Education.

Q: Mocking IStringLocalizerFactory in C# throws NullReferenceException I'm trying to write a test for a service that uses IStringLocalizerFactory to translate strings. All of the translations are in a single Resource file. I cannot seem to get the Mock for it to work, as it always throws a NullReferenceException. When debugging, it shows that _localizer is null. When I remove the localizer logic completely, the test succeeds.
Code I'm trying to test:
        private readonly IStringLocalizer _localizer;

        public EventService(IEventRepository eventRepository, IMemberEventRepository memberEventRepository, IStringLocalizerFactory factory)
        {

            this._eventRepository = eventRepository;
            this._memberEventRepository = memberEventRepository;
            this._localizer = factory.Create(typeof(Resource));
        }

        public async Task CreateEventRegistrationAsync(MemberEvent entity)
        {
            if (await this._memberEventRepository.GetMemberEvent(entity.EventId, entity.MemberId) != null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentException(_localizer["This member already participates in this event."].Value);
            }

            await this._memberEventRepository.CreateAsync(entity);
        }

My tests:
        private Mock<IStringLocalizerFactory> _stringLocalizerFactoryMock = new Mock<IStringLocalizerFactory>();

        public EventServiceTests()
        {
            _service = new EventService(_eventRepoMock.Object, _memberEventRepoMock.Object, _stringLocalizerFactoryMock.Object);
        }

        [Fact]
        public async Task CreateEventRegistrationAsync_ShouldThrowArgumentException_WhenMemberAlreadyRegisteredForEvent()
        {
            int eventId = 456;
            int memberId = 123;

            _stringLocalizerFactoryMock.Setup(x => x.Create(typeof(Resource)))
                .Returns(() => new StringLocalizer<Resource>(_stringLocalizerFactoryMock.Object));

            MemberEvent registration = new MemberEvent
            {
                EventId = eventId,
                MemberId = memberId
            };

            _memberEventRepoMock.Setup(x => x.GetMemberEvent(eventId, memberId))
                .ReturnsAsync(registration);

            await Assert.ThrowsAsync<ArgumentException>(async () => await _service.CreateEventRegistrationAsync(registration));
        }

A: From examining the subject under test I see that
_localizer["This member already participates in this event."].Value

will throw a null exception because _localizer[...] was not setup and thus fail when .Value is invoked.
Consider mocking a IStringLocalizer<T> so that it can be setup to behave as expected when the test is invoked.
//...

var localizer = new Mock<IStringLocalizer<Resource>>();

localizer
    .Setup(_ => _[It.IsAny<string>()])
    .Returns(string key => new LocalizedString(key, key));

_stringLocalizerFactoryMock
    .Setup(_ => _.Create(It.IsAny<Type>()))
    .Returns(() => localizer.Object));

//...

(Natural News) Weeds are plants that grow where they're not wanted, where they "steal" nutrients meant for desired crops. However, not all weeds are pests. Some can be sources of food or have medicinal properties, and other benefits that may make you see these plants in a new light.
While some weeds can be beneficial, you must first consider the area. If you decide you're going to forage, check for hazards such as signs of pollution or pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals, or if it's next to a busy road, accumulating car exhaust. Furthermore, if you're planning on growing these plants yourself, check your area for ones that are growing alone without any other species of its kind around it. Note that it's better to collect from abundant patches of plants to make sure they thrive well into the future.
Amaranth (Amaranthus retroflexus) – Some species of amaranth are consumed as leafy vegetables or used as essential oils. The leaves and stems of younger plants go well in salads or cooked like spinach. Edible amaranth can be a good source of free protein.
Burdock (Arctium minus) – The root of the burdock plant can be eaten as a root vegetable, and it's rich in fiber. It can be baked, stir-fried, or added to soups. The key is to gather this edible weed when it is young. Oil extracted from burdock leaves and seeds have plenty of medicinal benefits.
Chickweed (Stellaria media) – Chickweed leaves, stems, and flowers can all be eaten either raw or cooked. Chickweed helps with skin healing, gastrointestinal distress such as bowel problems, respiratory issues, and obesity, to name a few.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) – Every part of the dandelion can be eaten either raw or cooked. Young dandelion leaves are less bitter than mature leaves, but the bigger leaves can still be a good addition to salads. Tea infused from dandelion has a mild laxative action that can aid in digestion. Dandelions are rich in vitamins A, C, E and B-complex, as well as iron and protein.
Sheep's sorrel (Rumex acetosella) – Also known as sour dock, this plant has a sour taste that goes well with salads and soups. This edible weed is rich in vitamins C and A, and beta-carotene. In herbal medicine, sheep's sorrel is known to help maintain a balanced menstrual cycle, as well as dissolve kidney stones and help with other diseases related to the bladder, breast, liver, stomach, and kidneys.
Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) – This edible weed is a member of the mustard family; the seeds of all mustard species can be dried or used fresh as a substitute for black pepper. The green, heart-shaped seed capsules of shepherd's purse can be added to salads. In herbal medicine, it's said to stimulate circulation and increase the flow of urine, as well as help manage menstrual cramps and heavy periods.
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) – The young shoots of the stinging nettle can be harvested and cooked like spinach, or it can be dried and used as tea and infusion. In addition, it can be frozen and used later for stir-fries, soups, and other meals. Stinging nettle is an effective remedy to allergic reactions, as well as joint pain, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. This weed is rich in iron, calcium, potassium, manganese and vitamins A, C, and D.
Wild rose (Rosa sp.) – The dried petals of wild rose can be made into tea. In addition, its fruit called rose hips are rich in vitamin C and can be made into jellies, syrups or added to honey. Clean out all the fine hairs from inside the hips as these can be irritating.

Europe Discovers the Virtues of Personal Self-Defense While European Politicians Seek to Disarm the Continent.
Gun control pundits have long extolled the virtues of an Australian or European gun control scheme, pointing to the low incidences of gun violence in Australia and Europe. Listening to politicians and media worldwide, the high rates of firearm ownership were apparently the root cause of mass shootings throughout the United States, to include recent events in Aurora, Colorado and San Bernardino, Colorado. With recent mass shootings in Paris and Brussels, a series of high profile attacks against women, Europeans are re-evaluating their positions on gun control. As usual, the politicians seem disconnected from reality and the will of the populace.
Austria, one of the most heavily armed countries within the European Union, reports an estimated 900,000 firearms held by a population of 8.5 million. Despite already being one of the most heavily armed countries within Europe, sales of firearms in Austria have exceeded prior year to date sales. "Nearly all shotguns are sold out because you don't need to have a firearms permit to buy them," Thomas Ortner, spokesman for gun retailers in the state of Upper Austria. "Registration courses for pistols are usually held only every five weeks but are now held weekly." According to Austrian law, anyone 18 and over can buy and own a shotgun or certain types of rifles, but they must be registered at a licensed dealer on gunsmith within six weeks of purchase. The report also noted that many of the new gun buyers are women. The report stated that the most common reasons given for buying a gun were fear of refugees and fear of burglars.
Faced with increased threats of random violence, European citizens are seeking to arm and protect themselves by whatever means necessary. As Europeans are learning, a gas pistol may not be ideal when confronted by an unruly mob or an armed gunman, but it's better than nothing. Sadly, Europe's politicians are seeking to disarm the continent's citizens, rather than allow for increased self-reliance and personal protection.
In addition to restricting "military-type" firearms, the European Parliament proposes that all firearm owners be subject to mandatory medical testing in order to own and possess firearms. The regulation reads: "Member States shall provide for standard medical tests for issuing or renewing authorizations as referred to in paragraph 1 and shall withdraw authorizations if any of the conditions on the basis of which it was granted is no longer met." In effect, the European Parliament seeks to treat law-abiding shooters as mentally ill unless proven otherwise, by forcing mandatory medical tests to assess the "physical, mental and cognitive aptitude" of gun license holders.
If mandatory medical testing was not enough, additional restrictions on possession, ownership and sales are proposed. Under the proposed regulation, "good cause" must be shown to possess a firearm. The UK 'Section 2' system of licensing an unlimited number of shotguns would be outlawed. Instead, a good reason must be presented for each and every firearm purchased and possessed. Private sales via the internet would be prohibited by anyone other than a licensed dealer or broker.
Although each European country has laws in place dictating the deactivation of live firearms, the proposed regulation would harmonize the requirements with the UK standard. Under the proposed regulation, "deactivation" would require completely destroying and/or removing internal parts, replacing bolt carriers with dummy parts, and welding the action so that deactivated firearms cannot function.
Finally, the potentially most troubling proposal allows the creation of an EU-wide gun registry – similar to the type of registry pursued (and recently abandoned) by Canada. Such a database would have huge implication to personal privacy and individual liberty.
As of press time, the proposed regulation was facing strong opposition from the European public and from a majority of Members within the European Parliament. Nevertheless, in March 2016, an amendment was proposed that would regulate magazines with a capacity of 10-rounds or more. In justifying the proposal, British Labour MEP Claude Moraes was quoted as saying that "large magazines make firearms more dangerous and should be subject to license." As American readers know, this effort was tried in the United States from 1994 – 2004, with little to no effect on crime rates.
As most within the shooting community know, terrorists are not law abiding and compliance with these proposed laws and restrictions seems doubtful. These latest restrictions are tired, played-out arguments that gun control pundits have been arguing in support of for years. Sadly, with the increase in violence within Europe, and the lack of a personal right to possess and bear arms, the political will may be great enough to pass sweeping restrictions against firearm possession.

13-year-old Gaza boy dies eight days after Israeli airstrike
in Features, Reports September 1, 2011
1 September 2011 | International Solidarity Movement, Gaza
After clinging to life for eight days, 13-year-old Haitham Ahmed Marouf succumbed to injuries received in an Israeli airstrike on Beit Lahia and died on the morning of Monday, August 29.
The Palestinian boy had been farming with his father, Ahmed Marouf, on Sunday, August 21. Shortly after 11:00 am, a missile fired by an Israeli drone struck the field next to him.
The explosion shredded the left side of Haitham's body, filling it with shrapnel from his shoulder to his thigh. His left leg was completely destroyed, while his right femur was broken.
His abdomen was so deeply wounded that his uncle Mohammed Marouf, a staff nurse at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, recalled, "I could have put my hand inside it."
After he received initial treatment at al-Shifa Hospital, Haitham's family secured permission from the Israeli government to transfer him to a hospital under its control. He was transported through the Erez Crossing on Wednesday, August 24.
Despite the advanced treatment he received in an Israeli Intensive Care Unit, including the surgical extraction of shrapnel and cleaning of his wounds, Haitham died at 10:00 am on August 29.
When he met with the International Solidarity Movement on Wednesday, August 31, Ahmed Marouf was too shaken by the death of his son to comment.
