November 17, 2011 (LONDON) — A splinter rebel group wrote to a workshop on the perspectives of peace in Darfur held this week in Washington that self determination remains the "best tool" to settle the eight year conflict in western Sudan.
"The State and Direction of the Darfur Peace Process" was organized by the US Institute for Peace (USIP) with the support of the US State Department on 15-16 November.
The meeting meant to discuss the outcome of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD), any ways to achieve a durable peace in Darfur including the non signatory rebel groups particularly ), Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), two factions of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdel wahid Al-Nur (SLM-Aw) and Minni Minnawi (SLM-MM).
Yahia Elbashir, the Chairman of Sudan National Liberation Movement (SNLM) told Sudan Tribune he sought to attend the closed meeting but the organisers asked him to send a position position and it would be included among the papers of the workshop.
In the five-page position paper, Yahia wrote that the "right of self-determination for the people of Darfur is the best tool to safeguard their welfare either in a secular democratic Sudan or, as independent state if the first choice is not possible".
Indicating his preference for an independent state in Darfur, he underlined that a united democratic Sudan "could be very difficult to achieve".
Yahia who was the former spokesperson of the SLM-AW had in the past issued statements calling for the self-determination for Darfur. But the leader of the movement Abdel Wahid Al-Nur dismissed such initiative.
Since that time, Yahia who is based in London established his group (SNLM) which makes the self-determination of the western Sudan region its main goal.
The USIP said in a statement released Thursday that the workshop was also attended by civil society leaders, and representatives of countries and organizations involved in the peace process.
"We believe that the conversations were productive, candid and geared toward achieving a lasting, peaceful solution to a war that has lasted too long," said Jon Temin, director of USIP's Sudan program.
Is the best option but late,Because it will take you another ten years or more to get your right as Darfurian peoples state in western part of Sudan.it could have been batter when earliear, How can we divid the country in to many small part like that,If Darfur wil bring western part alone,Then eastrn part will still starting to get their right with different names,You need Arab to enjoy our SUDD.
How can you leave that SUDAN for Arab,Then who will remain in central Sudan?Because arab came just only for trade,How can they got that chance to rule the country if we could have spoken and still speaking one voice?OK NOW,You neeed to unit and one voice to clear those peaples from our own land of SUDD,WE ARE AFRICAN ORGIN.
The idea of separetion is very coward to think about it.If Dafur, Blue nile, and Nubans are united,those fake Arabs will be force out in sudan. Back in the old days, same situation was in Chad. Arabs traders, were in power in chadian, but when black chadian united, they are not there now! Think deeply! Freedom has nothing to do with human rights! USA wont be there, where they are now! Liberation!!

Was Van Gogh Color Blind? — August 31, 2012
Was Van Gogh Color Blind?

If there's any artist who ever lived and knew color in his soul, it was Vincent Van Gogh. Almost mad with color, Van Gogh owned a box of different-colored yarn just so he could tangibly handle color and literally weave them together to determine how the combinations might look when put into paint. Walk through any Van Gogh exhibition on Earth and you'll come out the other side drunk on color. But a Japanese medical scientist now contends that Vincent's unique color palette was literally a function of his vision—specifically, a kind of color blindness. According to this researcher, Van Gogh's unforgettable wheatfields and starry nights stick in our minds because they lack a color component most of us can see in nature. Is it possible that some of Van Gogh's power to fascinate comes from a visual disability, or is this researcher demonstrating a different kind of blindness?
While visiting a "Color Vision Experience Room" in Hokkaido, Japan, Kazunori Asada continued his exploration of different types of colorblindness, which the room was able to simulate through filters and other technology. "There were prints of Vincent van Gogh's paintings in the room," Asada recounts in his online essay. "Under the filtered light, I found that these paintings looked different from the van Gogh [sic] which I had always seen. I love van Gogh's paintings and have been fortunate to view a number of the originals in various art museums. This painter has a somewhat strange way to use color [sic]. Although the use of color is rich, lines of different colors run concurrently, or a point of different color suddenly appears. I've heard it conjectured that van Gogh had color vision deficiency." (Please note that English is not Mr. Asada first language.) In the "Color Vision Experience Room," however, Asada found that "the incongruity of color and roughness of line had quietly disappeared. And each picture had changed into one of brilliance with very delicate lines and shades. This was truly wonderful experience."
Asada includes several "before" and "after" versions of Van Gogh paintings in which the "afters" have been corrected for Van Gogh's moderate lack of receptors for the color red. The result is a much more true-to-nature color palette and less harsh transitions from color to color. In an update to his online essay after several news outlets jumped on the idea, Asada claims that he's "uninterested about what kind of color vison type Gogh himself has, and am not going to find out it at all." According to the good doctor, reporters are mistaken if they write "Asada said, 'Gogh was colorblind.'" The real message Asada wants to convey, at least in his update, is that color-deficient people can look at Van Gogh's paintings and see them in a different, but still wonderful way. (Again, Asada's English leads to a few difficulties in understanding the finer distinctions of his argument.)
When Asada writes in his original article that "van Gogh is the exemplar of 'the color deficient individual is sometimes superior to the color normal color individual,'" it sounds like he's ascribing some color deficiency or blindness to the artist. Rather than a bad thing, van Gogh's color blindness turns out to be a good thing in terms of his art. The same way a blind person's sense of hearing improves as compensation, van Gogh's color deficiency led him to choose paint colors that matched how the world looked like to him.
van Gogh's art broke all the rules in such a radical way that we're still trying to find some explanation. Mental instability's had its day, so perhaps color deficiency is on the rise. In a similar way, Claude Monet's cataracts have slowly gained credit for the development of Impressionism. Jean Dominique Rey and Denis Rouart's Monet: Water Lilies, The Complete Series (which I reviewed here in 2009) discussed Monet's physical vision's impact on his artistic vision. "Monet's fidelity to whatever he perceived through his visual organ, even when this was defective" never faltered, Rouart wrote, which led Roualt to refuse to call Monet an abstract artist but rather a "tachist." For Roualt, Monet always worked from his own perception of nature and never strayed into pure, selfish imagination. In the same way, van Gogh continued to hold onto nature in his art, but a nature filtered through his actual vision as well as his artistic vision. I don't know if van Gogh was color deficient or partially color blind, but even I can see that the Sunflowers seem dead when "normalized" by Asada's technology. Where he sees clarity, I see soullessness. van Gogh painted the spirit of the sunflower rather than the naked architecture of the plant. Asada raises an interesting question, but we need to avoid blinding ourselves to the real answer found in the paintings.

The publisher of the game is Electronic Arts. The official announcement of the game took place on June 12 2013 at the E3 5. The release of the game took place on March 11 2014 on the PC and Xbox One as well as on April 8 - on the Xbox 360.
Players control Pilots - fighters of elite special forces of opposing sides. Pilots can use a variety of weapons and equipment which the player can customize to your taste. Pilots also use a jet pack that greatly expands the mobility possibilities as well as special knives that allow quick cracking of heavy guns and enemy mechanized infantry - the Specters. In addition all pilots have the right to call Titan which takes some time to prepare for the battle. This time can be reduced inflicting damage to enemy infantry Pilots and Titans. Titan is a seven-meter combat robot which is dropped from orbit. His class and equipment is also changed by the player. Titan can inflict huge damage to infantry and Pilots but he is vulnerable to "rodeo attacks" - jumps Pilots and spectra on the upper part of Titan. In addition in combat usually involved infantry - ordinary infantrymen and robots "spectra." They seldom manage to kill the Pilot but they can do great damage to the Titans. There are many game modes as standard - the battle to exterminate capture points - and unusual - the sentence - death the last of the Titans etc.
June 6 2013 studio Respawn Entertainment told the magazine "Game Informer" about its debut project called "Titanfall". It became known that the game is a first-person shooter designed for network battles involving up to 12 players. An important component of the gameplay is called "Titans" - huge walking combat robots which the player can control. Platforms were also announced for which the game will be released PC Xbox 360 and Xbox One. More detailed information about the game process was promised to be provided at the forthcoming E3 exhibition as part of the Microsoft press conference 6.
The official announcement of the game took place at the annual E3 exhibition on June 12 2013. The shown trailer 7 and gameplay video 8 made a good impression on the visitors of the exhibition. The news for the players was the developers' statement about the absence of a single player in the game as a small number of players undergo a campaign 9 and the unlikely multiplayer support between different platforms 10. The very studio Respawn admitted that the lack of a single campaign in the game made the marketing positioning of the game more complicated. That's why already in the early stages of development the studio decided to present the live recording of the game process to the public and not mounted trailers as is usually done in advertising games in development 11.
Titanfall was awarded with many gaming publications and received many prestigious awards at the "E3 2013 Game Critics Awards" among them "Best Game of the Exhibition" "Best Original Game" "Best Console Game" "Best Game for PC" "Best shooter "and" Best multiplayer " ahead of such giants of the genre as Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts 12. The appearance of a large portion of news about the game is expected at the Spike VGX exhibition which will be held in early December 2013.


Reason For Hope: Why did the Babylonians choose handsome, smart men for the king's service?
Why did the Babylonians choose handsome, smart men for the king's service?
Babylon used a more "civilized" trick to taking over another country. Instead of killing them all or imprisoning them (both have serious repercussions), they blended them into the culture.
By taking the best and brightest of Israel, they hoped that those leaders would see the value of Babylon and influence others to embrace this new country. They chose Israel's royal family and nobility, young men—handsome, smart, adaptable—believing others would want to do the "cool" thing and be more like them.
It all had to do with looks, popularity and following the latest trends. Not much has changed in our world today.

Description: Since people are social creatures, relations between them always exist – close, sharp, warm, rigorous, subtle – arbitrary and different. They arise even when we do not want them and do not look for them – for example, in a bus or cabin, an aircraft annoys us, someone is sympathetic, someone is left unnoticed, and this causes silent gratitude. Work or business is full of relationships, and if we do not manage them, they manage us. What limits and what can be managed in relationships? What aspects of managerial relationships are especially important? In what moments relations turn into money? What to do with yourself, to feel confident in the relationship labyrinths?
We were very happy to see you there and share impressions during breaks!

Got this dress from Monsoon for a function we had last weekend. Absolutely love the fit and style !
Had been looking at 1950's style dresses online but wondering if anyone can recommend a site to shop from ?
Re: Where to buy 1950's Style Dresses / Prom Dresses ?
Stop Staring is a label that does vintage, 1940s, 1950s etc dresses. Below is a link to the label itself but if you do a google search you'll find plenty of Irish stockists and websites from which to buy from.
There's my incentive to keep losing weight!! Those dresses are gorgeous.
I love these dresses, I have two, they are really flattering!
I love this site. Their collection is just gorgeous.

Q: SNAPSHOT Artifacts not visible in eclipse after mvn install
*

*from proj-a folder: run mvn install proj-a

*from proj-b folder: (proj-b depends on proj-a) run mvn clean eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

*refresh proj-b in eclipse.

jars that proj-a depends on are in the proj-b classpath, but proj-a-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar is missing. proj-a-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar is in the local repository.

*

*run mvn deploy for proj-a

*delete proj-a folder from local repository

*run mvn eclipse:eclipse from proj-b folder - all jars are visible.

what can cause this problem? all artifacts should be available right after install operation. mvn does not complains about nothing....
thanks.

A: For me handling maven projects in eclipse becomes easier using m2eclipse. After you have installed the plugin, right click on your project > Maven > Enable Dependency Management so that it becomes a maven eclipse project. Then, given you have run your mvn install and you can see your SNAPSHOT jar in your local repository, right click on your maven project > Maven > Update Snapshots or in general Maven > Update Dependencies.

Pelmeg EU approval : The European Commission (EC) has approved German pharma company Mundipharma's Pelmeg, a pegylated version of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and also a biosimilar to Amgen's neutropenia medication – Neulasta (pegfilgrastim).
The approval for Pelmeg is for its use as a treatment to bring down the duration of neutropenia and the incidence of febrile neutropenia in adults treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignancy. The Mundipharma's pegfilgrastim biosimilar has not been approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.
Neutropenia is defined as an abnormally low count of a type of white blood cell, called neutrophils, which is important in helping the body fight against infections, especially bacterial infections.

The Pelmeg EU approval was driven by a recommendation for the same from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). It was based on certain crucial biosimilarity data from analytical, biofunctional and clinical study comparisons for the Mundipharma neutropenia medication.
Like Neulasta, Pelmeg has to be subcutaneously injected to the patients. According to Mundipharma, Pelmeg functions by stimulating the bone marrow to generate more neutrophils, thereby bringing down the incidence of infection.
Pelmeg is the fourth biosimilar to be brought into the market by the Mundipharma network. The Neulasta biosimilar was developed by biosimilars development company Cinfa Biotech, which was last month acquired by Mundipharma from the Spanish Cinfa Group.

Tamil Nadu CM Edappadi K Palaniswami
2019: The Year EPS Came Into His Own
After over two years of political and administrative turmoil, the Tamil Nadu chief minister showed that he can be king
Sandhya Ravishankar
His smile is probably his trademark. Edappadi K Palaniswami, or EPS as he is better known, accidental chief minister of Tamil Nadu, former Sasikala loyalist who was once a political nobody, has finally come into his own in 2019, smiling all the way.
His party leader, the late J Jayalalithaa's demise in 2016 triggered a political upheaval in the state. Her confidante VK Sasikala attempted to take over the chief minister's chair from O Panneerselvam who was standing in.
Panneerselvam, better known as OPS, took to a "dharmayuddham" (righteous war) to oust Sasikala from the party. Fortuitously for him, the Supreme Court pronounced a timely verdict, jailing Sasikala for four years in a two-decade old corruption case. All of this took place in 2017.
Resort politics ensued, with EPS firmly in Sasikala's camp at the time. Sasikala installed EPS in the chief minister's chair promptly after the verdict in the corruption case was announced.
The BJP intervened to force EPS and OPS to join hands, throwing Sasikala's nephew TTV Dhinakaran out into the cold. And then began the uneasy truce and background politicking, which is not so uneasy two years since.
"The first two years I would say was very bad," said Arun Ram, Resident Editor for Tamil Nadu with the Times of India. "I am saying this from a business and governance perspective. When I say bad I mean that he was a very unsure and uncertain chief minister. But after two years, in the third year, I would say that he has turned around – turned himself around, turned around the style of governance," he said.
The Politics Of EPS
When the country went to polls in May 2019, Tamil Nadu's 22 Assembly segments too headed into by elections. This was a crucial test for EPS – the survival of his government rested on winning nine out of the 22 seats.
The AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) led by EPS tied up a difficult alliance that would reap dividends for the party and help it to continue in power.
"He bent over backwards to bring in the PMK (Pattali Makkal Katchi) and the DMDK (Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam) into the AIADMK alliance," said D Suresh Kumar, senior journalist and political analyst.
"He gave seven Lok Sabha seats and one Rajya Sabha seat to the PMK. Though the PMK was a very strong critic of the government. I think anybody in his place would not have wanted this alliance. But he digested all the insults by the PMK and still gave them seven seats because he realised that they were important, not for the Lok Sabha seats but for the bypolls in the Assembly constituencies," he said.
With the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) in tow, the AIADMK focused all its energies on winning the Assembly seats needed to save the government. The DMK, which worked more towards the Lok Sabha polls, with an anti-BJP and anti-Modi stance, reaped dividends by winning 38 out of 39 seats in the state. While the difference in votes between the DMK and the AIADMK combines were in lakhs, skewed towards the DMK alliance in the general elections, the Assembly bypolls saw margins in the thousands or even less between the two Dravidian parties. The bypolls turned out to be a lot closer than most political watchers anticipated.
"He (EPS) may not be a politician who is articulate with his thoughts but in terms of rustic political intelligence, he stands on a much higher scale compared with his contemporaries within Dravidian politics," continued Kumar.
Not only did the AIADMK win two other subsequent bypolls (Vikravandi and Nanguneri) comfortably but also appears to be on its way to a reasonably smooth win in the local body polls scheduled for the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the party also changed its bylaws to ensure that Sasikala would not be able to take over once she is out on parole. This, when the possibility of her getting an early parole in 2020 looms large.
Business & Investment Climate
Businessmen and industrialists in Tamil Nadu are overall, happy with the EPS-led government in its third year in Tamil Nadu.
Although the auto hub of Sriperumbudur near Chennai and its engineering MSMEs (medium, small and micro enterprises) took a large hit due to falling demand in the wake of demonetisation and imposition of GST (goods and services tax), the government's efforts at bringing in new investors has received appreciation.
In January, the state's Global Investors' Meet (GIM) was held and at its end, claimed to have signed MoUs for Rs 3 lakh crore worth of investments in the state.
In 2015, the first GIM, held under Jayalalithaa's watch was touted to have brought in Rs 2.4 lakh crore in investments to the state. Much of it did not materialise on ground though.
While EPS' government patted itself on the back for having surpassed Jayalalithaa's record, the experts are not particularly convinced.
"They show huge numbers as if a lot of investors or businessmen are setting up in Tamil Nadu," said political analyst D Suresh Kumar. "But in reality if you see, the delivery is not on par. We have to wait to see how this translates. The DMK has been demanding a white paper and I think a white paper is important on this issue. Because we need to know which companies are setting up. He (EPS) did create an impression that he was on top of it but much more needs to be done."
Then came the three-nation tour called Yaadhum Oorey between August and September. The chief minister and other ministers toured a clutch of countries to sign agreements and attract potential investors to Tamil Nadu from abroad.
The government claimed that it had signed agreements worth Rs 5085 crore with 35 companies in the US. It also said that these would provide 24,720 jobs.
At the end of the trip, the government claimed that it had signed a total of 41 agreements worth Rs 8830 crore, generating 37,300 jobs for the state.
Much of that is yet to be translated into reality. As of now they are only on paper. But perception is half the battle won, and EPS appears to have figured that out.
"I was recently talking to a foreign investor who has an investment of Rs 2000 crore in the state," said Arun Ram. "The executive director of that company told me that in the first two years, they were all scared. Because after J Jayalalithaa passed away, they did not know where to go and how to do business. And this happened when they were all at the cusp of expanding their businesses but they did not know how to go about it. They said there was a complete paralysis.
But the same person tells me that after two years, the government is active, it is accessible. They are expanding their business, they have committed to another Rs 1000 crore. What I hear from businessmen and industrialists is that at least there is a perception that government is back on the rails."
R Ganapathy, President of SICCI told The Lede that the government is perceived to have made an effort to improve the business and investment climate of the state, although a lot still needs to be done."Government has done its best to reach out to potential investors despite global headwinds and macros," said Ganapathy.
"But for Tamil Nadu to become an exciting and interesting place for capital, a lot more needs to be done. We must remember that capital goes to a good parking space. Tamil Nadu's strength has been manufacturing. The state has to get into the comfort zone of manufacturing. For this, they have to strengthen MSMEs," he said.
Ganapathy says that there are four issues that the government needs to address.
"Cost of money, cost of labour, cost of land and cost of power. At least a couple of these are within the power of the state government. They can find innovative ways of getting competitive in terms of power and land – this is within their control. I would say this government is net positive but there is still a lot of headroom for making Tamil Nadu as a destination exciting," said Ganapathy.
Drought & Conservation
On 19 June, Chennai officially faced its 'zero day' when all of its reservoirs reached zero storage capacity. The writing was on the wall for at least a month before then but EPS and his ministers refused to see it.
Chennai and its suburbs and neighbouring districts faced one of the worst water crises of the decade last summer. Plastic pots, long queues to draw water from tankers, dried up borewells and fights over water erupted.
What made things worse was that the government denied that there even was a crisis.
"They were in denial mode until the very end," said D Suresh Kumar. "If the government had informed the people well in advance, they would have been more judicious in their use of water. But when it came to a point where households were getting water once in 10 days or 20 days, the government insisted that there was nothing to worry in Chennai. Government failed to inform the people about the enormity of the water crisis in Chennai," he said.
It was almost a month later, in June that water trains rolled into the capital city with a million litres of water from Vellore. Although this garnered a lot of attention from the media, a few million litres was hardly enough to quench the thirst of a fraction of the city's residents. It was not a novel idea either, as Jayalalithaa, in the early 2000s had brought in trains carrying water from Mettur to Chennai as also water tankers from Veeranam in Cuddalore when Chennai had then faced a water crisis.
Subsequently though, the monsoons set in and the rains saved the skins of EPS and his ministers. The good that came out of the drought period was that the Chennai city corporation managed to insist upon rainwater harvesting structures in apartment complexes and homes and sent out large teams of officials to check and advice residents on how to renovate structures that had become dilapidated over time.
What did fructify though was the chief minister's pet project – Kudimaramathu – a community based, localised water conservation program once practiced at the village level in Tamil Nadu.
"I support community-led water conservation but I would not blindly support Kudimaramathu since there was traditionally a caste hierarchy in the system," said Jayshree Vencatesan, trustee of Care Earth, an NGO working in the field of conservation. "The so-called "upper" castes would do the conservation work in such a way that it served them, while the so-called "lower" castes would be left out.
But the current re-tailored, revised Kudimaramathu is something I am very happy about. It is community-led water conservation but not shackled by traditional caste constrictions. When you take up such large programs, you cannot say that it has been done well. I have seen examples where it has been done well. Overall it is tilted more towards the positive," she said.
Vencatesan warns that this should not be a one-time affair if it is to yield benefits. "This has to be carried on for another 3-4 years at least, if not longer. It has to be a long term practice. The core idea of Kudimaramathu is annual conservation of water bodies," she said.
Since its inception in 2017, the scheme has been sanctioned about Rs 931 crore for a variety of conservation works including desilting, strengthening lake bunds, repairs of sluice gates among others.
What EPS Must Focus On In 2020
While 2020 is likely to be more of an election campaign year, with Assembly polls scheduled for 2021, experts say EPS would do well to improve on a number of aspects.
"The government needs to complete infrastructure projects on time, concentrate on improving basic primary education, improve higher secondary schools so they impart quality education, focus on exam reform so that students are able to bear up in the competitive exams," said a retired bureaucrat who did not wish to be named.
"Another key aspect is that the government should increase transparency and reduce corruption by introducing citizen friendly e-governance initiatives wherever possible. They also need to introduce modern techniques in agriculture to improve productivity," said the bureaucrat.
"What is lacking is a vision and this can be forgotten in the day to day work. The chief minister and his government need to have and work towards a vision."
But at the end of the year, it is indeed EPS who has stymied his rivals and even his own teammates with his emergence as a leader to be reckoned with.
"I would not compare this government with the earlier governments, say the Jayalalithaa government of the early 1990s or later governments under Karunanidhi. That was a time when there was liberalisation. Tamil Nadu, riding the crest of a large wave, made great strides. So I would not dare to compare that with this. But if we compare the last three years, I think 2019 was a year of good performance by the EPS government. He has surprised us," said Arun Ram.

Five elements are needed for this technique to fully work: a hidden checkbox, a label to trigger the off-canvas open, a label to cover the entire page to close the off-canvas, the off-canvas element itself and finally your main page wrapper.
The checkbox is going to be hidden, the .icon-menu styled like a hamburger, the .body-trigger positioned absolutely on top of everything with pointer-events: none, and the .off-canvas aside positioned absolutely off the canvas to the right.
To make the off-canvas actually slide open now, we just use some pseudo-classes on the input and sibling selectors to target the siblings of the checkbox when it's checked. This is why, above, the checkbox comes before the labels. CSS sibling selectors cannot target elements before them in the DOM.
And with the CSS transitions that were applied above, we now have a functioning off-canvas menu! Of course, in most situations you'd probably throw in a media query that hides the off-canvas stuff for larger screens. The door's wide open to experimenting with this and taking it further.

On Vino, Kolobnev, and the 2010 Liege-Bastogne-Liege
Posted on December 8, 2011 by mattio
Fotoreporter Sirotti
Let's all calm down for a second and take a look at what we know, and what we're told, and why.
We know that the winner of Liege-Bastogne-Liege receives 20,000Euro, and the runner-up receives 10,000Euro.
A Swiss magazine claims to have emails between Alexander Vinokourov and Alexandr Kolobnev. Here is their article – based on "emails that [the magazine has] procured," the magazine claims that Vino bought the race from Kolobnev for $100,000. What do we know about the reputation of this magazine, L'Illustre? I don't know anything, except that it seems that they are willing to either hack or lie to sell magazines. Based on the emails, it seems that Kolonev admits to allowing Vino to win, and that bank information was exchanged.
This is suspicious. However, whether this is proof that the race was bought and sold really depends on the veracity of the emails that L'Illustre has. You'll forgive me for having a hard time trusting the reputation of a magazine willing to be known to "procure" private emails, presumably without consent. Tut-tuts on Twitter about cheating conveniently ignore this.
I can't help but wonder if the righteous moral outrage that's followed this story is due to the fact that it's Vino, a polarizing figure who was popped for blatant doping, served his ban, and came back to top levels of competition. I think that those who love to hate him, this news is simply convenient fuel for the same "populist angst among cycling fans" that makes us "all feel really self-righteous," as Cosmo of Cyclocosm initially said of Vino's Liege-Bastogne-Liege victory in How The Race Was Won.
Why? Well, when Joe Parkin's A Dog in a Hat came out, stories about the purchasing of races seemed to me to be treated by fans as a unique and salty facet of a gritty, dynamic sport. Should there have been outrage? No. Inner Ring elaborates: collusion among opponents is the essence of bike racing. Your enemy today is your ally tomorrow.
Based on the alleged emails, it certainly appears that Kolobnev may have let Vinokourov win. Paying to win is objectionable, but save your outrage for facts you can rely on. And if you can't do that, at least save your outrage for the guy who may have sat up, not the guy who rode hard all the way to the finish line.

While very well stated, Ryan has resurfaced to write a great post on this subject at:http://www.theservicecourse.com/ His post examines the flip side of the story.
Ok the veracity of the email is important. I also agree with the points of INRNG that collusion as he puts in makes cycling more interesting. However, there is a difference between gifting a stage in return for either future or past help, working together for seperate goals (e.g. leaders jersey for one rider, stage for the other) and collusion involving money. If the email is real, then there are no excuses, it doesn't matter that Vino rode hard to the end of the race, if he exchanged money for the victory he cheated, simple as.
Moral outrage from cycling fans…pffft. If you pay 100 USD/100 GBP for a ticket to a ballgame, yeah, feel free to heckle or rage against blatant cheating. But the dumbest guys in any bike race are the self-proclaimed morally superior anti-doping crusaders. The guys who wear surgeon kits, wave giant syringes or steaks in riders faces. Who the hell gave them the right to harass and impose their views on the riders? They've paid nothing. They get their sport for free. Is that a Molteni shirt? You like Eddy? Doped to the gills. Coppi? Like Keith Richards, only skinnier. If, on the other hand, you're a rider trying to make it on the highest level, you've earned the right to have your say, loudly.
I'd like to know how many of those who now criticise Vino would name Andy Schleck as one of their favorites. Good looking and smiling Andy. So good looking that Dries Devenyns of QuickStep buried himself for Andy on the 18th stage in this year's Tour.
In the end, I want racing, I want entertainment, and Vino has always been a great rider to watch. Given all his 2nd's Kolobnev probably would have liked a win but felt uncertain whether he could do it, I see no wrong if he went for the cash.

Stanley +1
You put into words how I've been feeling lately about the vitriolic outrage over doping. Seems to me the sense of outrage is outsized given the relative offense, and that most of the pro peleton has been PED'ing for several decades. Let's enforce a level playing field to be sure, but keep it all in perspective in the meantime.
If a guy wants to sell a win to someone else, sure. He's the one that got himself into position to sell the win, so as long as he shares the proceeds with the team, carry on. It's his business, and we have precious little to say about it.

Spent a lovely long weekend and Mother's day with my mom and Aunt Susan. We drove around to various towns in Vermont and Massachusetts, shopping at outlets, antique shops, and a couple of thrift stores. I ate a tremendous amount of food, including creme brulee at two different restaurants! My mom is truly the best mom a girl could ask for.

Don't be alarmed if you see more law enforcement, medical services and emergency management from Oct. 28-30 at noon until 5 p.m.
The four Divisions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Dallas, El Paso, Houston and San Antonio) and the Texas Department of Public Safety will be leading a statewide Full-Scale Training Exercise (FTX).
Many locations across the state will have sites participating, including Greenville, Brenham, San Antonio and El Paso.
This training is in place to ensure the ability of federal, state, local, tribal and territorial jurisdictions to respond to complex terrorist attacks with a focus on integrated response planning among law enforcement, medical services, emergency management and other whole community stakeholders.
They only ask that the public avoid areas where the training is taking place — where out of the ordinary activity may occur related to the exercise, including role players portraying attackers and victims. More detailed information will be coming to these areas.


Thank you for posting that song.

Ecuador Buys $4m Worth of Non-Lethal Weapons for Armed Forces
According to the United Nations, repression by the security forces in Ecuador against protesters during the Oct. 2019 demonistrations was unnecessary and disproportionate. | Photo: Radio La Calle
Dated Nov. 25, 2019, the document states the "acquisition of non-lethal material is to be used in operations against riots and counterinsurgency."
Ecuador's Ministry of Defense announced Monday it will purchase US$3.6 million worth of non-lethal weapons and riot gear for the Armed Forces, ahead of new strikes called by various social and Indigenous groups for the first quarter of 2020.

"Following NATO's criteria, we have bought gear from Israel, France, and the United States," Minister of Defense Oswaldo Jarrin told the press, adding that the gear will be used for "public order" operations and "homeland security."
The transaction was authorized based on a report by the Logistics Command of the Army. Dated Nov. 25, 2019, the document states the "acquisition of non-lethal material is to be used in operations against riots and counterinsurgency."
The purchase is divided into three contracts signed on Dec. 12 between the Ministry and U.S. companies, which establish the amounts, characteristics, and deadlines.
The first corresponds to the purchase of 179,070 pellet-type projectiles and tear gas canisters for US$2.9 million.
It also includes "stunner" shotgun cartridges and rubber pellets, the use of the latter has been criticized lately due to serious human rights violations in Chile. Militarized police have used it for crowd-control during Chile's protests causing over 300 people to lose their eyes, raising serious concern from human rights organizations and the United Nations.
A study by the University of Chile stated that these pellets are composed of only 20 percent rubber, while the other 80 percent have different elements, such as lead.

The second contract includes 1,000 12-gauge shotguns for non-lethal projectiles; the third is for 1,200 gas masks of four filters for the amount of US$234,000. The delivery date for this must be made until Jan. 20, and Feb. 5 for the first two deals.
The announcement has raised concerns from local human rights activists over the abuse of force and violence already witnessed during the Oct. 3 to 11 protests that rocked the Andean country.
According to a United Nations Office for Human Rights report, released on Nov. 29, repression by the security forces in Ecuador against protesters was unnecessary and disproportionate.
The document states that during the days of popular mobilizations there were new deaths, 1,507 injured, including 435 security officers, and 1,382 detainees. In addition, according to the allegations collected by the U.N. mission in that country, many of the arrests were carried out arbitrarily.
The High Commissioner for the agency Michelle Bachelet said that there was a "high human cost" in the 10 days of demonstration.
Despite the warning and complaints by local organizations, the Armed Forces maintained that with the purchase, only 15 percent of the personnel used in riot military operations would be geared up, clarifying that with the new equipment the operational capacity will be increased "in case of new disturbances that alter public order."

Ecuador: Judge Releases Leftist Activists Accused of Rebellion


Lazy day. I spent it in Parque Forestal, in a café and then on the Santa Lucia hill, reading under a palm tree.
Santa Lucia is a small hill in the heart of Santiago, a steep climb with a nice view, and a couple of fountains. It is the heart of the city of Santiago.
It is called Santa Lucia after the day it was conquered, on 13 December 1541, by Pedro de Valdivia, founder of Santiago. It was used as a look-out at the time.
Up there, I finally finished a book called Heads in Beds, written by a guy who has worked in hotels for decades.
Nothing else to report here, I simply enjoyed a quiet end of the weekend.

Mimasaka (jap. , Mimasaka no kuni) oder Sakushū () war eine der historischen Provinzen Japans. Sie lag auf der Insel Honshū im nordöstlichen Teil der heutigen Präfektur Okayama. Mimasaka grenzte an die Provinzen Bitchū, Bizen, Harima, Hōki und Inaba.

Geschichte
Mimasaka entstand im dritten Monat des sechsten Jahres der Wadō-Ära (713) als Ausgliederung aus der Provinz Bizen. Die alte Provinzhauptstadt (kokufu) befand sich im heutigen Tsuyama. Während der Edo-Zeit befand sich hier das Lehen (han) Tsuyama, dessen Hauptburg sich ebenfalls in Tsuyama befand.

Gliederung im 19. Jahrhundert

Geographisch/statistisch
Die Provinz Mimasaka bestand in der späten frühen Neuzeit aus folgenden Landkreisen (kōri/-gun):
 Aida ()
 Kumehokujō (), 1900 zu Kume ()
 Kumenanjō (), 1900 zu Kume
 Mashima (), 1900 zu Maniwa ()
 Ōba (), 1900 zu Maniwa
 Saihokujō (), 1900 zu Tomata ()
 Saisaijō (), 1900 zu Tomata
 Shōboku (), 1900 zu Katsuta ()
 Shōnan (), 1900 zu Katsuta
 Tōhokujō (), 1900 zu Tomata
 Tōnanjō (), 1900 zu Tomata
 Yoshino (), 1900 zu Aida

Politisch (Auswahl)
Zum Ende der Edo-Zeit unmittelbar vor der Meiji-Restauration waren einige wichtige Herrschaftsgebiete in Mimasaka:
 Shogunatsterritorien (bakuryō) in zehn der zwölf Landkreise, hauptsächlich unter den Shogunatsverwaltern (daikan/bugyō) Kurashiki und Ikuno, andere Gebiete unter Verwaltung örtlicher Fürsten; in der Meiji-Restauration 1868 zunächst hauptsächlich Präfektur Kurashiki und Präfektur Ikuno, deren in Mimasaka gelegenen Teile 1871 unter Abtretung von anderen Territorien an andere Präfekturen zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Fürstentum Tsuyama mit Territorium in zehn Landkreisen von Mimasaka, Sitz auf der Burg Tsuyama im Kreis Saihokujō; in der Restauration Präfektur Tsuyama, dann zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Fürstentum [Mimasaka-]Katsuyama bzw. Mashima mit Territorium hauptsächlich im Kreis Mashima und Sitz auf der Burg Katsuyama im Kreis Mashima; in der Restauration Präfektur Mashima, dann zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Fürstentum Tazuta mit Sitz im Kreis Kume-Hokujō, das erst 1867 in den Vorwehen der Meiji-Restauration geschaffen worden war, nachdem Chōshū während der gescheiterten Zweiten Chōshū-Expedition des Shogunats Hamada (Sitz & Hauptterritorium in der Provinz Iwami) bis auf diese vorherige Exklave erobert hatte; in der Restauration Präfektur Tazuta, dann zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Territorium in mehreren Kreisen von Mimasaka des Fürstentums Tatsuno mit Sitz in der benachbarten Provinz Harima; in der Restauration zur Präfektur Tazuta, dann zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Territorium im Kreis Yoshino des Fürstentums Akashi mit Sitz in der benachbarten Provinz Harima; in der Restauration Präfektur Akashi, dann zur Präfektur Hokujō
 Exklave des Fürstentums Numata (Sitz in der Provinz Kōzuke) in drei Kreisen von Mimasaka; in der Restauration Präfektur Numata, die Exklave dann zur Präfektur Hokujō

« Broad public support of juries and Blakely | Main | Interesting Blakely decisions from Maine »
Feeney speaks about Blakely
This intriguing Orlando Sentinel article — which covers sentencing topics ranging from Florida's three strikes law to how cost concerns have prompted many states in recent years to reconsider mandatory-sentencing laws — includes some fascinating quotes from Tom Feeney, the US Representative from Florida who introduced the notorious Feeney Amendment to the 2003 PROTECT Act (details here from the NACDL).
Not surprisingly, Rep. Feeney states, quite aggressively, that Congress could respond to invalidation of the federal guidelines by passing a raft of mandatory sentencing provisions. But, somewhat surprisingly, Rep. Feeney also suggests he thinks some sentencing terms could be reduced. Here are the Feeney highlights, which includes a brief defense of the Feeney Amendment, from the article:
"If they come down and undermine the whole way the sentencing guidelines work, the only option for Congress may have is to enact enhanced mandatory sentences," said U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Oviedo, who has been a leader in Congress in passing tougher sentencing measures. "If the courts throw out the sentencing wholesale, we will have a really big battle."
Feeney is author of the Feeney Amendment, which pressures federal judges to stick to sentencing guidelines by forcing those who vary to explain why.
"What we were finding was the federal judiciary was blatantly -- overtly in some circuits -- almost totally ignoring the guidelines," he said. His provision has drawn harsh criticism, even from Supreme Court justices, who say it interferes with a judge's discretion to weigh factors such as a defendant's background and attitude.
Still, Feeney doesn't expect the court to totally reject federal sentencing rules. "Most court analysts say you can expect the guidelines to be thrown out," Feeney said. "I think that's unlikely. I think they realize they could be going out of the kettle and into the fire. They do not trust Congress to come up with a better solution."...
But even Feeney, Bush's running mate in a 1994 race for governor, thinks some sentences should be lighter. "Mandatory sentences may be appropriate for some crimes but may not be appropriate for all crimes," Feeney said. "If you're not a massive pusher of drugs, what's the best approach? Throw you in prison, or try to rehabilitate you? That's a very legitimate debate." Feeney, who railed against higher taxes as Florida House Speaker, said he's troubled by prison costs, even though Florida is in better financial shape than most states.

DOT316 represents a "firm point" that intersects the clear and orthogonal lines of the body of the mixer, engraved in the noble stainless steel AISI 316L. Pure, rigorous and rational lines, opposed to round and soft volumes, creating a play with shapes that perfectly demonstrate Ritmonio's desire to create a simply sophisticated product.
A product that revisits classic elements in a contemporary interpretation, with graceful lines. With a clear inspiration to the Sicilian seaside village which is the envy of the world for its charm and beauty, the Taormina series is the real expression of the made in Italy: the body of the mixer evokes the shape of the characteristic columns of the Ancient Theater of Taormina and its gentle lines refer to the sinuous shores and waves of the Mediterranean Sea.
The most powerful source of inspiration? The nature.
Would you ever think that concrete could shine with the colors of the world?
After a consistent chromatic and stylistic study and a steady search made by the company for new techniques for the production of this material, it is born from the concept concrete colours, the project "The colours of the world", in which the handle in concrete is presented in different colours for the first time, inspired by the suggestions of some natural scenery.
The Capsule collection with the handle in concrete of the Haptic series, signed by the architect and designer Simone Micheli exclusively for Ritmonio, has been presented in first preview during the recently completed edition of the Milan Design Week 2017.
An innovative approach that highlights Micheli's personal interpretation of the Haptic handle in concrete, offering a new "aesthetic" key, demonstrating how the "Concrete" concept is becoming more and more trend-setter in the world of interior design.
The timeless matching of the Black&White becomes the expression of the minimal and chic style, which characterizes the entire offering of the company, suitable for classy environments.
Sophisticated and glamorous design suggestions that meet the latest trends of luxury with a strong visual identity.
Ritmonio is a company characterised by two souls: the Factory division, dedicated since over 70 years to the production of safety valves, brass, stainless steel, aluminium and copper components; the Bath & Shower division, dedicated to the planning and production of faucets and accessories for the bath area.
By combining craftmanship, aesthetical research and specific technological competences, Ritmonio gives birth to exclusive products, entirely and genuinely "Made in Italy", which are capable to answer a broad variety of functional needs and as well as care about the environment.

Europe's Attack on Greek Democracy
Article By Joe Stiglitz |	Jun 30, 2015
The rising crescendo of bickering and acrimony within Europe might seem to outsiders to be the inevitable result of the bitter endgame playing out between Greece and its creditors. In fact, European leaders are finally beginning to reveal the true nature of the ongoing debt dispute, and the answer is not pleasant: it is about power and democracy much more than money and economics.

Q: Regex to filter int from url I'm trying to filter out a value of a url.
The url looks like the following:

http://userimages-akm.imvu.com/catalog/includes/modules/phpbb2/images/avatars/145870556_47076915459092eafd7b69.jpg

Now i'm trying to only receive the following part from the url: 145870556
I thought about using a regex. But i won't get a working regex beside this one:
^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$

Is there a better regex to use?

A: If the image filename always follows the same format <timestamp>_<hex-value>.<extension>, then you don't need to match the entire URL.
$url = 'http://userimages-akm.imvu.com/catalog/includes/modules/phpbb2/images/avatars/145870556_47076915459092eafd7b69.jpg';
preg_match_all('~\/(\d+)_.*$~', $url, $matches);

// $matches[1] = '145870556';
