This article is to provide basic information about the execution of European Arrest Warrants (EAW) in Hungary . For the sake of easy understanding the legal provisions are a slightly simplified so it must be stressed that in order to get adequate and precise advise you should consult a counsel or the original text of the relevant act.
Execution of the EAWs may not be refused either on political grounds or on the basis that the wanted person is a Hungarian citizen.
There is a case when the refusal is not mandatory but discretional for the Hungarian court. The execution of the EAW may be refused in case the offence has been committed or partly committed within the territory of Hungary.

Typhoon Morakot lashes Taiwan
Island gets more than 39 inches of rain; 47 inches more possible
Airlines cancel flights; schools, government offices, stock exchange closed
More than 900 people evacuated from resort of Nanji Island off east China
Next Article in World »
(CNN) -- Typhoon Morakot dumped heavy rain on Taiwan early Saturday and threatened to further soak the recently drought-stricken island.
A man fights against strong winds in Hsintien, Taipei county, Taiwan, on Friday.
As of 3 a.m. local time, the storm's eye was over the northern part of the island, CNN forecaster Kevin Corriveau reported, although he noted that slow-moving Morakot is so large it encompassed the entire island.
Journalist Andrew Lee in Taipei, citing local media, said the storm had blown off roofs and washed out some bridges.
Corriveau said the island has received more than 39 inches (99 centimeters) of rain from the storm, which he said was expected to dump another 39 to 47 inches (99 to 119 centimeters) of rain on Taiwan.
The storm made landfall carrying winds of up to 92 mph (148 km/h), with gusts up to 115 mph (185 km/h), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said. iReport.com: See balcony view of heavy rains
Corriveau said the storm was expected to linger over the island for several more hours, and the southern portion of Morakot would likely be passing over Taiwan for hours after that.
The storm's impact had already been felt by Friday morning, with mudslides and landslides occurring on the island.
The area has been severely affected by drought in recent months, leaving the ground so hard that it does not absorb the rainfall, Corriveau said.
Taiwan's Central News Agency, acknowledging the drought, cited the Water Resources Agency as saying that the storm had replenished the island's reservoirs and would put an end to water rationing in several areas. Watch more about the typhoon's impact »
The storm prompted airlines to cancel flights. Schools and government offices were closed ahead of Morakot's arrival, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency.
Trading at the Taiwan Stock Exchange was also postponed until Monday, the news agency reported.
In China, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that governments in coastal provinces were readying themselves for the storm and had ordered fishing boats to seek shelter before Thursday night.
In Fujian province, about 8.4 million text messages had been sent to citizens warning them to prepare for the typhoon, Xinhua reported.
More than 900 people, including Chinese and foreign tourists, have been evacuated from the resort of Nanji Island off east China, the news agency reported.

collapse Aboriginal objects and places
Apply for an Aboriginal heritage impact permit if you are proposing works or an activity where harm to Aboriginal objects or places cannot be avoided.
The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 protects Aboriginal cultural heritage in NSW. We consider applications for proposals that may cause harm to Aboriginal objects and places. Harm is defined to mean destroying, defacing, damaging or moving an object from the land.
Harm to objects and places
If you are proposing works or an activity that may cause harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage, you need to apply for and be granted an Aboriginal heritage impact permit (AHIP) before the work or activity can take place. We assess applications to issue, transfer, vary and surrender AHIPs.
The Applying for an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit: Guide for applicants outlines when to apply and when a permit is not required.
Prepare your application
Before you apply for an AHIP you need to prepare essential supporting documents. This information is necessary so we can make decisions.
Your application must provide enough information for us to understand what you are proposing to do, and how any potential impacts to Aboriginal cultural heritage will be addressed.
Please ensure:
you have all the information required, in digital format
reports are the final version, not draft
consultation is complete
reports, plans and consents are consistent
all documents comply with the appropriate Heritage NSW guidelines and codes of practice.
Hard copies of documents are not required.
If you submit a complete application, we can more quickly assess it and make a determination.
What you need to do before you submit an application
Check if the integrated development application process is appropriate for your proposal expand
Integrated development is an efficient way for Heritage NSW and a local council to assess proposals at the same time. It relates to activities or works that require both development consent and one or more other approvals such as an AHIP.
See Integrated development for more information about this process and the benefits.
Consult with Aboriginal people expand
All AHIP applicants are required to consult with Aboriginal people who hold cultural knowledge that will help to determine the significance of Aboriginal objects and/or places which may be harmed by the proposal. This consultation is in accordance with requirements under the National Parks and Wildlife Regulation 2019.
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010 outlines how to consult with the relevant Aboriginal people. The requirements:
apply to all activities throughout NSW that have the potential to harm Aboriginal objects or places and that require an AHIP
support other departmental policies and procedures.
Determine if and how your proposal will cause harm expand
Work through the following steps to:
identify whether Aboriginal cultural values and objects are present
assess the nature and extent of Aboriginal cultural values and objects
assess the level of harm the proposal may cause and identify what is avoidable and what is not.
Follow due diligence expand
The Due Diligence Code of Practice for the Protection of Aboriginal Objects in NSW gives guidance on the process to follow to determine if:
Aboriginal objects are present in an area
Aboriginal objects will be harmed by an activity
further investigation is warranted
an AHIP application is needed.
Following the code of practice can provide a legal defence against prosecution for harming Aboriginal objects if, after following due diligence, it was determined Aboriginal objects were unlikely to be present.
Due diligence is not mandatory and is not required in all circumstances. It cannot be used in some circumstances, for example:
for Aboriginal Places formally declared under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974
to support planning proposals and major projects.
In these instances, and where Aboriginal objects are present, you must conduct an Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment.
Follow requirements for preparing Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment reports expand
If Aboriginal objects are present in the area relating to your proposal, you must conduct an Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment. An Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report is required for several application types such as AHIPs.
The report must be prepared in line with the Guide to investigating, assessing and reporting on Aboriginal cultural heritage in NSW and include our requirements:
Aboriginal community consultation which follows the consultation requirements in Aboriginal cultural heritage consultation requirements for proponents 2010
the results of any investigation necessary to clarify the Aboriginal cultural heritage significance of the assessment area which could include:
an archaeological assessment prepared in line with the Code of Practice for the Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in New South Wales (usually mandatory)
a cultural values assessment
a geomorphological assessment
an extensive Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System search less than 12 months old (mandatory)
an arborist report if the archaeological assessment was unable to determine if a modified tree is cultural in origin or management recommendations are required.
a methodology for any conservation or mitigation activities proposed
a map of the proposal area that clearly demonstrates:
the relationship between the proposal area and any Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System registered sites (including extent)
boundaries of no harm areas and Aboriginal Places, and
lot and deposited plans, boundaries and labels, north arrow, Map Grid of Australia zones 54, 55 or 56, and map scale
Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System site cards that have been registered or updated
development consent and approved stamped plans or a clear statement as to why it is not required
a letter of support from the relevant collection manager or landholder or manager
a Care Agreement or letter of support from the Australia Museum if objects will not be returned and buried onsite
shapefile of the project area using Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA94), Map Grid Australia zones 54, 55 or 56.
Complete and attach the Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment report cover sheet (DOC 4MB) when submitting an Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment report.
Follow standards for archaeological investigations expand
The Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in NSW sets out minimum standards for archaeological investigations in NSW where an AHIP application is likely to be made, including what is required when doing a test excavation. If test excavations comply with methods set out in the Code of Practice, the testing is excluded from the definition of harm.
Excavations that can be carried out in accordance with the Code of Practice will not need an AHIP.
Excavations that are not carried out in accordance with the Code of Practice, or in areas where the Code of Practice does not apply, will need an AHIP.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst - Prisoner X
How to find and unlock the new area, The View, and infiltrate another KrugerSec facility.
Continue with: Mirror's Edge: Catalyst - Thy Kingdom Come
Collectibles: 2x Recordings, 2x Secret Bags (Ocean Pier)
Unlocks: 'Little girl found' achievement, 'Thy Kingdom Come' main mission, 'Gridnode: The View' side mission
How to unlock The View, intercept the VTOL and find a way into the building
Talk to the prisoner inside Black November's base to get a waypoint in a new part of the city, The View. Get to Eden Village (by fast travel or on foot) and then set mission as your way point and follow the Runner's Vision. It's a linear trek through a building that's easy to follow - need a MAGrope upgrade or two to pull down a vent and swing a few times - and soon you'll swing out and enter the Ocean Pier area of The View.
Once there, just keep following Runner's Vision until you hit the marker; note you might have to do a double wallrun to get their successfully, so make sure you have that node installed in your Movement progression screen to make things easier.
Follow the Runner's Vision down to the next building, and at the marker, the VTOL will make an appearance just ahead. Following it is easier than it looks; just follow the Runner's Vision path that takes you round the outside of buildings, and at a predetermined point, you'll pull in where the VTOL stops where you can MAGrope up and away.
When you touch down on the helipad, head down the steps and jump off the side of the building ahead to slide down to a platform below. Enter the vent on the wall to enter a long, white and blue room laden with large pipes. Before you progress, there are two collectibles here.
Both collectibles you need are in this room.
Recording: A New Life 01 - Go down the short steps, and there are pipes that block your path ahead. Whether sliding underneath or going round them, on the right wall is the recording.
Secret Bag - To reach it, jump on the box to the left after the pipes that block your path, and facing the way you came in, crawl under another set of pipes, turn and climb them, allowing you to reach the walkway.
When you exit this room, you have to make your way through a slightly awkward platform section with a series of pipes and elevators. After the second pipe, ignore the elevator on the left, and slide to the bottom, where you can MAGrope to the top of an elevator on the opposite side.
Leap onto the nearby pipe (but not too near the wall, otherwise you might clip it and fall) and then across, wall run and hang from the bottom of an elevator to take you down to a platform below.
Jump to the opposite railing, sliding down and jumping off to some horizontal slates. Don't climb up, but turn around, revealing some more underneath the pipe behind you, which you can then use to leap to the side onto yet another elevator. This will start moving down when you land on it. Leap off to the side at the bottom, then head round the door to exit the shaft.
In the proceeding blue and white room, wall jump between the two opposing walls in-between the giant fans and head through the door.
Reach the other tower, into the server room and the transit hub
The Runner's Vision will tell you to leap over the barrier to the opposite walkway, but before you do that, time for some collectibles.
Both collectibles you need are also in a second area, so don't run ahead just yet!
Recording: The Connors Equation 02 - Instead of taking the critical path onward to reach the other tower, down the short steps and it's hidden away in the shadows by the corner.
Secret Bag - You'll see a glass divide above you, separating you off from the core path, with a walkway that starts about a third of the way down. From this corner, run and leap from the barrier, wall run across the glass divide and land on the walkway to collect the bag. You can wall run across the rest of the divide and to the end door too.
Whichever route you take, at the end go through the door and you'll be told to find the server room. Run down the walkway and use the elevator, where you'll have a brief chat with Plastic over comms. Take a left into the next room and drop down onto the walkway below, and walk back towards the way you came in, and wait for one of the fans to spark out and shudder to a halt. Use this opportunity to leap down, making it into the dim and very blue server room.
Hop up into the vent on the left, drop down onto the pole, and swing off to the left. Crawling through another enclosed space, it's then a simple route round the outside of the complex, before heading down and cutting through the middle. Eventually you'll slide down a long pole, where the marker is just to the side; drop down and use the panel to trigger a cutscene.
Make your way to the transit hub and stay alive until the next train arrives
Take the brightly lit walkway to the side, crawling through the gap on the right and making your way through the passages, ending up at a decontamination room. After a moment, head through the office, and quickturn off the far left room in the next room to the above left, and then across through a high gap in the wall. Press onwards through the remaining pathways and vent until you arrive at a subway station.
The end of the mission has you stay alive as you fight KrugerSec guards until the train arrives. It takes a short while, and it's recommended to use the stairwell on the right side as a place to fight, crowding them together to knock them together, and using the height for more powerful attacks.
The Sentinel will cause the most bother, and you can give him the chase by running upstairs to separate him from the pack. Keep going, and eventually you'll be told when the train, which is just a couple of hops away.


Okay, we've got April Dwarfs Day out of the way.
Suffice to say neither Charlie nor I will be building a Dwarf army. And Jack has confirmed that he won't be using Mantic Space Dwarfs for a Squat army.
On Saturday afternoon I had a game with Ben and his Dark Elves. At 2000 points Dark Elves are a great army and I was surprised how much Ben had fitted in – Lvl 4, Lvl 2, Cauldron BSB, 25 Corsairs with Frenzy Banner, 20 Witch Elves with Flaming Banner, 20 Black Guard, 2x 10 xbow, 2 units of Harpies , Hydra and a unit of Shades. Ben was unlucky in the game with his Witch Elves failing two charges – one required 2D6 roll of "8" (he was full strength) and the other of "6" when down to 3 models.
I took the Lore of Plague on my Seer and in retrospect I think that this was the wrong choice. Lore of Ruin would have been far more useful against his set up. The Hydra chewed through two units of Slaves and the harpies got the WLC. I was able to pick up the Witches, one unit of xbow, both harpies, the Shades and the Cauldron. The Level 1 was reduced to Level 0 then died from a Level 4 miscast.
Over the course of the three evenings I built the Fortress of Redemption, the Fortified Manor and the Town House (Tabletop World). They are now downstairs ready to be spray undercoated. The Fortress is truly an impressive piece of terrain and I'm looking forward to painting it up.
Apart from that participants at Fields of Blood got the first update with Players Pack and Presentation Scoring Checklist. I also sent out a reminder to a lot of past participants that only 20 tickets were left and there has been an influx of sales. Certainly expect the "Sold Out" sign to go up prior to the event.
Horned Rat/Gobbo V has also seen an influx of registrations and now looks like it will at least be the size of Runefang with between 25-30 participants.

Jussie Smollett's lawyers hit out at allegation that attack was staged
Updated / Sunday, 17 Feb 2019 09:57
Jussie Smollett has said he was attacked by two masked men while walking down a Chicago street on January 29
Lawyers representing Empire star Jussie Smollett have said he is "angered and devastated" by claims that the alleged racist and homophobic attack on the actor in Chicago was staged, adding that "nothing is further from the truth".
Their statement followed a report by CNN, quoting "two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation", which claimed that detectives were investigating the allegation that the alleged attack had been orchestrated by Smollett himself.
Smollett has said he was attacked by two masked men while walking down a Chicago street on January 29. They allegedly poured a chemical substance over him and wrapped a rope around his neck while shouting racial and homophobic slurs.
Chicago police had said on Thursday that reports about the incident being "a hoax" were "unconfirmed by case detectives" and that there was "no evidence to support their reporting".
On Friday, two brothers Chicago police had been questioning in connection with the alleged attack were released without charge.
In an interview with Good Morning America last Thursday, Jussie Smollett said he was heartbroken when he found out that people questioned the details of his story
Police said "new evidence" had arisen in the course of their interviews with the men, who are co-operating with authorities and are reported to be known to Smollett. The Friday update from the Chicago Police Department added that detectives had "additional investigative work to complete".
Reuters reports that on Saturday, the Chicago Police Department's Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi issued a statement saying that "information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the 'Empire' case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation".
"We've reached out to the 'Empire' cast member's attorney to request a follow-up interview," he added.
In a statement, Smollett's legal team later said: "As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with."
"He has now been further victimised by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack," the statement continued. "Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."
The statement added that Smollett would "continue to cooperate" with the investigation.

Coffee is a staple part of most people's morning routine. While it seems utterly necessary, having too much of it every day can dehydrate you, leading to dull and dry skin. It can also kill off the antioxidants protecting your skin's elastin, leading to wrinkles and tired-looking skin. Meanwhile, dark circles and bags under the eyes can sometimes be caused by a combination of heredity and genetics.
Allergies not only bring persistent sneezing fits, but they also cause puffy eyes and can cause blood to pool under your skin, resulting in dark circles. The increased blood flow to an area carries pigment cells that create discolouration. Avoid this by taking an antihistamine regularly to help control your allergies, as these can get worse over time.
Often wake up with bloodshot eyes? The dry air in your bedroom robs your eyes of moisture, causing blood vessels to dilate. This makes your eyes look tired, stoned or both. Consider investing in a cool mist humidifier to help retain the moisture in the air. The medication you are taking can be a culprit as well. Certain blood pressure and birth control medicine can cause the blood vessels in your eyes to dilate, resulting in tired eyes.
Looking chronically tired is also part of the ageing process. Your skin may sag a little more, blemishes become harder to hide, and wrinkles start to deepen around your eyes.
You can eliminate the signs of ageing and get rid of dry, sagging skin with a variety of cosmetic procedures such as a facelift and plastic surgery neck lift. Laser skin resurfacing, for one, can instantly eliminate fine lines, wrinkles and age spots for a more youthful and refreshed look. For a more dramatic change, however, a cosmetic surgery facelift is your best option. Artiste Plastic Surgery's facelift can help hide the signs of aging and stress that make you look chronically tired. Our resident surgeon, Dr Jack Zoumaras dedicates hours on surgery to focus on the target area, rejuvenating you and making you appear more well-rested through the day.
Revitalise your face and correct age-related changes with Artiste Plastic Surgery's facelift in Sydney. We take the time to assess your situation and needs thoroughly in order to provide the best possible natural results. Oftentimes, we recommend getting a neck lift as well to address the aesthetic appearance of the neck. We can also provide you with a skin rejuvenation treatment to deal with dry skin and blotchy patches. Schedule a consultation with our expert team and refresh and improve your look today.

Q: The use of "this" in every MATLAB class Why is that in every class in MATLAB I must use "this"? I think that in C++ I don't need to use "this", only if I want to. Is this also the case in MATLAB?

A: In short, you must use some kind of explicit reference.
First of all, unlike in C++/C#/Java where it is named this, you can use any name you want.
The reason that you must use explicit calls is Matlab designers decision.
The idea was to support Matlab vector operations on objects, as if they are
structs. The following is a fragment from the link above:

While languages with an implicit object parameter provide a "this" keyword
  to access the implicit object, they usually do not require you to access a
  property through "this". If MATLAB had implicit properties, the logical
  extension to array-based objects would be to index into nothing:
S = S + (k).Value;

Edit:
Following the good comment of @AndrewJanke, I would like to add that MATLAB could have had this as implicit reference, and only force to use it in indexing of array-based objects. Nevertheless, this approach was not chosen by MATLAB designers.

Dinosaur Crafts Your Kids Will Flip For
LE FESTE – CELEBRATIONS
Kids love dinosaurs. They make for a great party theme. The Internet is crawling with great ideas on how to honor the dinos and teach your kids something to boot. I declared last week to be Dinosaur Week at our house, which we lovingly refer to as Camp Di Meglio during the summer months. The week ended with a trip to Field Station Dinosaurs in Leonia, N.J.
My mother and I made felt dinosaur tails (see photos below). I saw images on Pinterest and just went with it. (We'll explain how to make them in an upcoming post.) And I used my Cricut machine, card stock, and adhesive tape to make the paper crowns.
1. Dinosaur Tails and Crowns
Aren't they the cutest dinosaurs you've ever seen? © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
Earlier in the week, we studied dinosaurs and learned vocabulary words, such as carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, and paleontologist. We also did some other fun projects that really impressed the kids, who are ages 4, 6, and nearly 5. Here they are and they are simple enough for anyone to do:
2. Frozen Dinosaur Eggs

This one was by far the favorite of my 4-year-old nephew, and it was the easiest of all the dinosaur projects. Many a mommy blogger has done this activity, and there are all sorts of variations. All we did was plop a plastic dinosaur (bought bags of them at the dollar store) into a balloon. Then, we filled the balloon with water and blew it up just a bit. Finally, we stuck those babies in the freezer and left them there overnight. The next day, we carefully cut them out of the balloons and put them in the bathtub. We had been planning to put them in the pool, but it was raining. In fact, they actually salvaged a dreary, rainy summer day for us.
3. Dinosaur Eggs for Hatching
Although challenging, breaking open these dinosaur eggs with plastic hammers and grown-up screwdrivers was a highlight of Dinosaur Week at our house. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio

Out came the little dinosaur and the oohs and ahhs of the children. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
These eggs required a bit more effort on my part, but it was totally worth it. I used a recipe for Dinosaur Fossil Rocks, salt dough with coffee grinds, by blogger Stephanie Lynn. She suggests either letting the eggs air dry for a few days or placing them in the oven for four hours at 200 degrees F. I opted for the latter, and it worked out fine. But I will say that the eggs were hard, really hard. My son and nephew resorted to throwing them on the floor a couple of times, and I was afraid it might crack tile. Using the screwdriver and twisting into the areas where there were more coffee grinds made it easier to break 'em open and release the baby dinosaur. The kids felt like real paleontologists while doing this, which made it my favorite project of the week.
4. Dinosaur for Breakfast

Part of the purpose of these themed summer weeks is to get my son to try new foods. While he would not eat the strawberries, he did gobble up the banana, waffle (made with my handy waffle iron and simple All Recipes buttermilk waffle recipe), and the mini chocolate chip eyes. Yum!
5. Dinosaur Art

No themed week for preschoolers would be complete without some sort of art work. To make these masterpieces, I did a little pre-project work. First, I made the signs – again with my Cricut – that had my son's name with o-saurus attached. Then, I traced a dinosaur shape with a pencil. The next day, he painted the dinosaur and added the horns to its back using his handprints. For the second piece of art, I cut out dinosaur footprint shapes from sponges and let the kids go to town. My son used a paintbrush to add talons. All the art work is still hanging in my basement. My son wants to show it to everyone. The week reminded me that dinosaurs are awesome enough to get kids to eat fruit and take a bath. Lesson learned.

When Fathers Are In Charge
The kids thought the sidewalk came inside. © Photo by Antonio Gerenini
This is what happens when you put your husband in charge of the kids. Yesterday, while my husband was caring for our 2-year-old son and 3-year-old niece, he let them use sidewalk chalk on our wood floor in the living room. I should have gotten more suspicious when he texted me (while they were all downstairs and I was up in my office, mind you) to ask whether chalk came off wood. They were being quiet, and I was getting work done, so there was no need to disrupt the peace – or so I thought. Needless to say, after I put work to bed and before I put baby to bed last night, I was scrubbing the floor. "As long as you told me it came off, I figured, let them go crazy with the chalk," said my husband. Right. I guess I should be glad. I was able to work, the kids found a creative way to cure their cabin fever (it's snowing again, you know), and the chalk did no damage. Next time, however, either the kids or my husband will be doing the scrubbing.

The Nativity Scenes of Ischia
My Nonno Giovanni was part of a folk troupe that played music and built roofs on the island of Ischia, and their work was recreated in a nativity scene of 2013. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
Over the weekend, my husband, Baby Boy, and I walked the streets in the town of Ischia Ponte searching for presepi, nativity scenes. These are not your ordinary creches. These are usually made entirely by hand, feature various scenes besides the Holy Family and Wise Men. And each is as unique as the artist (or artists) who create it. Often, they include depictions of life in the neighborhood in which it was made. My father makes one every year that takes up an entire room in his house and includes fountains, live plants, lights, and music. And the ones in Ischia, his home island, where he learned the art of the presepio, bring this tradition to a whole new level. For example, the photo above is of a folk musical troupe that would also build roofs for townspeople in Ischia. They would sing and keep time with the sticks and tools used to flatten the roof. My own grandfather played the clarinet for the group. Many in the group would also dress in costume for 'Ndrezzata, a traditional folk song and dance that can only be played by those from the town of Buonopane. Nonno was on board for that, too. And those performers, who continue to put on shows today, also made it into this presepio. See below for this and other photos from other presepi around town. Trust me, the pictures don't do justice to their magnificence.
In addition to these 'Ndrezzata performers and the San Giovanni Battista church of their hometown, Buonopane, this presepio featured many symbols of the island of Ischia. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio

One of the coolest of the nativity scenes, this one was animated with moving figurines, running water, a narrated story, and a flying angel. As the narrator would explain a part of the presepio it would light up until the whole scene was lit. Baby Boy was mesmerized. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
This animated presepio featured this bread maker, a carpenter, and others who might have lived in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
Churches, such as Santa Maria della Grazie in San Pietro in Ischia Porto, also feature elaborate nativity scenes. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio

Buon Natale from Baby Boy
Baby Boy's art work was a big part of our Christmas decorations. © Photo by Francesca Di Meglio
Baby Boy wants to wish everyone a merry holiday. Actually, he just likes to paint his feet and hands, which is just what we did to make this art project. You've probably seen similar versions of this on the Internet already, so I'll spare you the details on how to do it. Baby's foot print is the sled, hand prints are the reindeer, and thumb prints (albeit somewhat spread out) are the Santa. Now that my son has learned how to do this I'm constantly having to wash his feet and hands, not to mention the floor, bed, tables, cabinets, etc. where he puts them after he paints his body in the name of his art. I guess I should feel lucky that Santa sent me some good towels for cleaning this year. Merry, merry!

Our Little Pumpkins

Every year, we host a Halloween party for our younger cousins. Some of them are getting too old to dress up, but no one is too old for crafts (not even their parents). So, this year we turned the backyard into a pumpkin patch and painted (and glittered) to our heart's delight. We were a mess, but it was so much fun no one cared. It didn't hurt that Zio Pasquale (my papa') was teaching the kids how to make wine and giving out cups of grape juice (really, it was grape juice and not yet wine). Some of the kids found it too sweet. Others loved it. Combine the juice with the many, many cupcakes in which we indulged and you get one big sugar high. We used all that energy for creating magnificent works of art. You can see all the pumpkins and the artists (and even the wine making) by visiting the "Pumpkin Painting Party" photo album. Happy Halloween!

2015 Audi Q3 Arrives in India to Battle BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA
Rishi Baruah
Audi has just launched a facelift version of its Q3 compact luxury SUV. The Q3 is Audi's highest selling model in India and is facing formidable competition from the likes of Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1.
The Q3 is available in four variants, namely, S Edition, Premium, Premium Plus and Navigational Optional. The new car retains the traditional look of its previous model (2012 Q3), except for some sporty changes, features and interior upgrades. The front sports a black hexagonal grille with matte silver surrounds and LED headlamps. At the back, the Q3 now features new LED tail lamps and the 'scrolling' turn indicators. The new model comes with star-shaped 10-spoke alloys.
The cabin too undergoes quite a few developments such as 3D aluminium inlays on the centre console, new accents for door trims and dashboard, a new multi-function steering wheel, latest MMI system with navigation and an excellent sound system.
The 2015 Q3 facelift will be modelled with a 2.0-litre TDI, four-cylinder diesel in two tunes that also powers the previous model. The entry level model gets a 140 PS variant with six-speed manual transmission and front wheel drive while other alternatives get 180 PS variant with Quattro all-wheel drive technology. The engine is complemented to a seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox. The engine delivers 184PS of power along with a peak torque of 380Nm.
"We are confident that the new Audi Q3 will bring in many new members to the Audi family much like it did since its launch and will further strengthen our dominance in the compact luxury segment in the land of Quattro – India," said Mr. Joe King, Head, Audi India.
The car is available for Rs 28.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The premium SUV is also available in new exterior shades- Mango Yellow, Utopia Blue and Glacier White. This is the Audi's fifth launch this year after Audi R8 LMX, Audi TT Coupe, RS& sports back and RS6 Avant in India.

"We Are All Things": An ode to lost love /node/1619836/lifestyle
"We Are All Things" by Elliot Colla. (Supplied)
CHICAGO: In a room in Cairo, a man sits alone surrounded by items that fill his house. His relationship has just ended and, as he laments, he doesn't realize that he isn't the only witness to his latest tragedy. The objects in his house that he interacts with every day but pays little attention to, all watch on as the remnants of moments fade away from the room but remain imprinted in them. In "We Are All Things," a graphic prose poem written by Elliott Colla and illustrated by Ganzeer, ordinary objects are brought to life with their own opinions, memories, and quirks.
The first image is of a black lamp with a pink shade which illuminates the room as it "soaks up the shapes and colors of the rest of the room and wears them as a funhouse reflection." Colla's words and Ganzeer's pink and black illustrations jolt awake objects to tell their side of the tale.
Each object has a special personality, the bed that harbors not only humans but also the weevils that have eaten away the cotton in the pillows. A stereo that plays Umm Kulthum's voice from a cassette tape, her pink figure in the middle of the page passionately singing of a longing that has repeated itself in the room countless times. The oldest object is a mirror, which not only sees things but keeps images and memories, making the room seem as if it is "full of ghostly reflections and optical echoes."
Colla's words ignite everyday objects, giving them spirited personalities, such as the clock that must endure "obscure comments" about itself, such as: "Time standing still. Time flying. A stitch in time," while it holds time together with its "wires, coils, and levers." Ganzeer's illustrations capture the moments and objects so intricately in a charmingly unique atmosphere created by a collaboration that is peculiarly delightful.
Ganzeer and Colla push readers to think beyond existence to where secrets can be held by the objects in their lives in this remarkable chapbook. Molly Crabapple sums up the book perfectly in the introduction: "This is Elliott Colla and Ganzeer's nostalgic ode to a lost love in a city that for the last two millennium has been the focus of every variety of love, longing, and loss."

White Supremacy: The Never-Ending Pandemic
The world is in the midst of another health crisis -- a pandemic of the virus with the names, "Covid-19," "Coronavirus," and "CV," from the category of Corona viruses of which the common cold is also a member. It portents a staggering mortality rate not unlike earlier pandemics.
The nation and the world grappled with its last pandemic back in 2009, when H1N1 Influenza aimed itself at its populace. According to the Centers for Disease Control, before this pandemic was declared under control, it claimed between about 150,000 and 575,000 lives worldwide. Certainly not the worst pandemic in world history or the United States, it stands in history as a lethal legacy of the power of nature to exact itself upon humanity however it pleases, whenever it pleases. However, this is not an essay on the flu or CV. It is about pandemics, and one in particular, white supremacy.
In order to make this essay make sense, there needs to be some understanding about pandemics. According to Dictionary.com, a pandemic means: "prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area," largely associated with disease or illness. But what constitutes an illness or disease if discussing white supremacy and racism? Are the terms, white supremacy and racism really synonymous within the lexicon of the language we use to describe, define and associate ourselves? In order to make this essay make sense, these two terms must finally take their place as separate but equal, distinct and purposeful, and made unique in their own particular right.
There is no argument and indeed no debate should exist at this point about the pervasiveness of Racism, or its definition as "the systematic subjugation within established institutions in the U.S. through structurally designed denial and limited apportionment of opportunity, equity, equality and justice, to control the formerly enslaved and their descendants after the Enslavement ended," or that it "operates as power plus prejudice and bigotry in the form of White and Whiteness as 'superior,' and the "Black" formerly enslaved and their descendants as 'inferior'." What is still up for grabs in terms of intellectual debate is the ideology of white supremacy, what it means, what it does, how it operates, and why it is easily conflated with Racism.
By contrast, there doesn't seem to be any true scholarly acknowledgement as to any pathology of white supremacy or the association of mental processes which have been ingrained for centuries in people who identify as white in order to sustain and support the beliefs and subsequent behaviors that arise out of the ideology. In other words, white supremacy is not even considered a sickness of the mind. In fact, most scholars dismiss the idea of white supremacy as a pathological ideology altogether. Given that the ideology over the generations has glued itself into the subconscious as well as the unconscious places in the minds of white people, creating behaviors from subtle biases to full on aggression and violence, the absence of any correlation between the behaviors borne of the ideology and the notion of these behaviors is notable. It is telling that the study of white supremacy as a mental disorder is not pursued as possibly being due to a pathology of the mind, and is in itself, most likely because of the same construct of "superiority" already inherent in the ideology, in essence, why study what is already perfect?
According to Chauncey DeVega, writing for Alternet:
White supremacy is a complex social phenomenon. It is also a relatively new invention that was created to make Europe's efforts to colonize and conquer the world seem like a "natural" process wherein "superior" white races would dominate "inferior" non-whites.
The Transatlantic slave trade was pivotal for the invention of race by creating a sense of group stigma and a belief in the concrete biological differences between white Europeans and Africans.
Mr. DeVega alluded to white supremacy as a complex social phenomenon and invention. I would disagree to the extent that the ideology, while complex and social, was an "invention," but that the system of racism was itself the "invention" created to sustain the ideology created by the wealthy landowners, and which, today, has morphed into a pandemic of narcissism and pathological aggression among people who identify with the whiteness ideology.
Two scholars, Christopher Petrella, Ph.D., and Justin Gomer, Ph.D., who coauthored a piece entitled, "White Supremacy Is Not an Illness," for the "African American Intellectual History Society's (AAIHS) segment on Black Perspectives, were adamant in their assertions that white supremacy is not an illness. Absent from the discussion, however, was the distinction of white supremacy as fundamentally separate from the system of racism, and the conflation of both as one and the same. While acknowledging that prior to the 1950s both terms were considered synonymous, it is clear that the ideology had to exist well BEFORE the system that supports it. What these two white scholars missed is the whiteness-centered nature of their argument.
Nevertheless, under their rationale in discussions with white people on the subject in an attempt to justify their assertion that white supremacy is not an illness, they referenced racism as their argument for or against, and only casually referred to white supremacy, not even within the same context. They then blithely acknowledged systemic racism as being ignored in favor of individual, "bad apples," and as a "misdiagnosis." It was obvious these two white scholars, albeit with Doctoral degrees in African American studies, and writing for a segment on Black Perspectives, lacked the Black perspective necessary to understand the difference between the terms.
"The presumption that one can eliminate racism by snuffing out a few "bad apples" misses the mark. In fact, such a paradigm misdiagnoses the systemic and ideological production of race itself which is squarely centered in white supremacy. "

By implicitly conflating the terms white supremacy and racism as the same, they completely dissolve the systemic structures built into all of the institutions of human activity. They dismiss the very system of racism itself, and relegates racism as ONLY individual bad, and bigoted behaviors of people, while not allowing for exactly what caused the behaviors. Anyone who can critically think about these behaviors will soon come to the conclusion they are more attributed to white supremacist attitudes and the aggressive pathologies associated with them, rather than what was developed to uphold those behaviors. Moreover, while they described the term, "racism" as not being a disease and not an illness, this can only be ascribed as true because Racism is really NOT the behavior itself, but the system upon which the behavior is supported and sustained, and white supremacy is the catalyst which spawned and imposed a spectrum of mental disorders on an entire race of people with no desire to cure them.
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, a psychiatrist and scholar, was one of a very few, if any, who acknowledged white supremacy as a "neuroses." Although she used white supremacy and racism interchangeably, she understood that the ideology of white supremacy itself was the overarching substance of any rational argument on white supremacy as a disorder, and therefore having a pathology. I would add that it is actually the separation of the two terms: one as the ideology which formed the negative, aggressive and malevolent behavioral pathologies among the masses of people who identify with it, and the other as the system designed and developed to sustain these behavioral pathologies and the ideology that spawned the behaviors in the first place, and provides the legitimacy and justification for the ideology to have contributed to generations of white narcissists and sociopaths of varying degrees of illness.
