Qatar World Cup 2022: Palestine 1, Israel 0
By Feras Abu Helal.
During the 48th minute of the Tunisia-Australia match at the World Cup in Qatar last Saturday, Tunisian fans held up a huge flag bearing the words: "Free Palestine." Moroccan fans did the same the next day during their team's game against Belgium.
For Palestinians, 48 is a key number in the memory of their national catastrophe. It refers to 1948, the year of the Nakba, when their grandparents were killed and expelled from their homeland to create the state of Israel. Many Arabs use this number to express their love and support for Palestinians.
The shock expressed by Israeli journalists at their own reception … has further exposed the facade that Israeli politicians have attempted to construct
The displays of Palestinian banners by Tunisian and Moroccan fans came as Israeli TV presenters complained that Arab fans have not welcomed them at the football tournament in Qatar. Numerous videos have shown Arab fans refusing to talk to Israeli channels and expressing their support for Palestinians.
Morocco was among several Arab countries that in 2020 signed US-brokered normalisation deals with Israel. But the news emerging from Doha shows that many Arab fans have given a red card to the so-called Abraham Accords, despite efforts from the UAE and Bahrain to portray the deals as popular.
Since the 2011 Arab Spring and the ensuing counter-revolution, social media has increasingly been policed by authoritarian regimes. Dissidents in Gulf states have been silenced and imprisoned, while troll armies have dictated the political discourse. The Abraham Accords came against a backdrop of unprecedented repression, enabling Gulf powers to portray an imaginary groundswell of support.
Space for expression
Yet, despite this attempt to control the national debate, a recent poll by the Washington Institute showed that an overwhelming majority of people in seven Arab countries – around 80 percent – view the Abraham Accords as "very negative" or "somewhat negative".
Today, the World Cup in Qatar is providing an open space for Arab peoples – from Morocco in the west to Saudi Arabia in the east – to express themselves about the process of normalisation with Israel. People can say their piece in football bleachers and fan zones, and on the streets.
One viral video shows an Israeli reporter complaining that Arab fans were refusing to speak with him because of his Israeli nationality. Indeed, many videos from Doha's fan zones have shown Arab attendees shouting at reporters when they realise they are working for Israeli channels.

After Morocco's normalisation with Israel, the massive display of the Palestinian flag by Moroccan fans during Sunday's game carried a particularly poignant political message. A video of Moroccan fans at the World Cup singing a powerful, emotional song dedicated to Palestine also gained traction on social media.
Such videos show the true reality of the Arab masses rejecting normalisation deals with Israel, which have been imposed by Arab regimes. The shock expressed by Israeli journalists at their own reception during the tournament has further exposed the facade that Israeli politicians have attempted to construct.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was re-elected earlier this month, built a significant part of his legacy on the claim of creating good relations with Arab countries, without solving the Palestinian conflict. Recently, Netanyahu wrote in Haaretz: "For the past 25 years, we were told repeatedly that peace with other Arab countries would come only after we resolved the conflict with the Palestinians." Yet, he added, the "road to peace does not run through Ramallah, but rather around it".
Western hypocrisy
Some American commentators and politicians have asserted that the Palestinian issue is no longer important for Arabs, suggesting that Israel can enjoy peace and normal relations with Arab states without solving the Palestinian issue. But recent footage from the World Cup in Qatar belies this claim, showing that while Arab regimes might be on board, the Arab masses are most decidedly not.
Beyond feelings of solidarity towards Palestinians, the close public alliance between Israeli politicians and corrupt Arab dictators has increased hostility towards the Israeli state among Arab publics. Many see the two sides working in tandem to suppress their ambitions and dreams for human rights, dignity, democracy and prosperity.
In a 2019-20 poll by the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies, 79 percent of Arab people said the Palestinian cause was an Arab issue, not just a Palestinian one. In the same poll, Israel was seen as the biggest threat to Arab countries, exceeding the US and Iran.

Yet, while the western media has largely ignored the outpouring of support for Palestinians at the World Cup, a tsunami of coverage has focused on the issues of workers' rights and LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar. A number of European teams had planned to wear armbands promoting LGBTQ+ rights before Fifa warned that they would receive yellow cards for doing so.
Germany's interior minister fuelled the debate by wearing an armband in the stands and publishing her picture on Twitter, while German players covered their mouths in protest against the Fifa restrictions in a team photo. But activists have condemned the hypocrisy of these moves when Germany has cracked down on Palestinian activism at home.
Arab football fans and players have a long history of expressing support for Palestine, from chanting supportive songs to displaying slogans in solidarity with Gaza, despite the penalties levied for political messaging. During the current World Cup, one viral video on Arab social media shows a Saudi YouTuber selling flags of different countries, and giving customers an extra Palestinian flag as a gift. Such stories rarely gain attention in the western media.
While Arab fans are often told not to mix sports with politics, European teams and fans have rightly taken the opportunity this year to show support for Ukraine in the wake of Russia's invasion. Clearly, different standards are applied depending on the cause, highlighting the need for journalists to look beyond the western bubble.

For a few years after college, my brother and I both happened to live in Atlanta, Ga., a city where every street is named Peachtree. While there I discovered fried okra, fried green tomatoes, grits, black-eyed peas (which are white beans), sweet tea, and hot donuts from Krispy Kreme. It's not exactly light eating down South. Comfort food has staked its claim and stubbornly resisted any marauding fad diets.
One year for Christmas my brother gave me a Southern Living cookbook, straight off the bookstore sale rack. I think he might have paid $6 for it, tops. I knew this because the title was "Southern Living Cookbook 1994," and this was late 1995. Anyway, the cookbook was a bit of a revelation for me as a someone learning how to cook for herself. The recipes were arranged by months of the year instead of by "meats," "vegetables," "quick breads," and so on. What to make in October? Why here is a recipe for pumpkin curry soup, which has long since become a favorite.
The recipes are relatively simple, too. "Summer's Bounty" is naturally the longest chapter with such recipes as Cajun Green Bean Stir-Fry, Summer Squash Casserole, and Peach-Pecan Ice Cream. And there are a few more elegant sounding dishes such as Bacon-Blue Cheese Salad With White Wine Vinaigrette, which wraps long slices of cucumber around mini bouquets of greens, pecans, shredded carrots, bacon, and crumbled blue cheese. Fan-cee, y'all!
"Autumn Harvest" has those warm dishes of fall illustrated with photos bathed in golden light and falling leaves. But I find myself resisting looking too closely at that chapter and the one that follows, "Winter Storehouse." I'm not quite ready to let go of summer just yet. Besides, I'll need something to look forward to as the days change.
I may just have to give this cookbook as a gift to my brother as a way to remember our Southern by-gone days. But I think I'll wait a year. At least.
Yuuuuummmm…I love Southern Living recipes; I have a 30 minute meals SL recipe book, and as far as I can tell, all the recipes featured in the now defunct, I believe? magazine were all pretty fab. I think my sisters-in-law would have made great Southern belles (they're feisty, pretty, fantastic hostesses, and one already says "y'all") and they often cook SL recipes. This cookbook does sound like a good gift…but you're right, I might wanna hold on to it before I give it away, y'all.

Q: Pepper cancel running animation Currently developping on a Pepper robot (Android dev), I'm trying to use some "basic" animations (from QiSQK lib).
For instance, when calling a WS, I'm starting a "think" animation using animation/animate. Then, when the WS call ends, I try to use another animation ("showing the tablet").
I saw that Pepper can't animate twice if the previous animation isn't finished/cancelled.
So, I used requestCancellation(), but it didn't stop the animation.
I also used cancel(mayInterruptIfRunning), didn't stop either.
So, I can't chain 2 animations without waiting the previous animation to stop (my WS call = 3-4s max).
Any idea ?
Example :
private var animate: Future<Animate>? = null

fun animate(animRes: Int) {
        animate?.requestCancellation()

        AnimationBuilder
                .with(qiContext)
                .withResources(animRes)
                .buildAsync()
                .thenConsume { futureAnimation ->
                    animate = AnimateBuilder
                            .with(qiContext)
                            .withAnimation(futureAnimation?.value)
                            .buildAsync()
                    animate?.andThenConsume {
                       it.async().run()
                    }
                }
}

Thx,
Bastien.

A: Finally found out my issue.
Actually, I was storing the animate reference when creating the object like this :
animate = AnimateBuilder
                  .with(qiContext)
                  .withAnimation(futureAnimation?.value)
                  .buildAsync()

So, I printed my objects (like every Future's used in my callbacks), then I found that after using it.async().run() from my animate andThenConsume callback, which returns the running animation reference, is different from the one I created before (was thinking reusing same old ref).
So, instead, here my new (working) code :
fun animate(animRes: Int) {
        //Cancelling possible running animation to display a new one
        animate?.requestCancellation()

        AnimationBuilder
                .with(qiContext)
                .withResources(animRes)
                .buildAsync()
                .thenConsume { futureAnimation ->
                    AnimateBuilder
                            .with(qiContext)
                            .withAnimation(futureAnimation?.value)
                            .buildAsync()
                            .andThenConsume {
                                animate = it.async().run() as Future<Animate>
                            }
                }
}

Creative Assembly has pushed Total War: Warhammer 3 back into 2022, which means now is an ideal time to find a spare hundred hours or so and get into the series. If you haven't been playing Total War: Warhammer since 2016, though, it might seem like you've got an intimidating amount of homework to do. There are two games, 16 paid DLC packs, and three different major campaigns to choose from. Where should you start?
Totally new?
If you're an absolute beginner
It might seem sensible to just grab the first game and get on with it. I'm going to tell you not to do that, for a couple of reasons.
One way Total War: Warhammer 2 improved on its predecessor is by continuing to introduce concepts as you play and guiding you with optional missions. By comparison, the first game dumps a bunch of help on you during the early game then abandons you right when you're probably wondering why your public order has tanked and your economy's falling apart. Warhammer 2 is a smoother newbie experience—it might occasionally expect you to care about a character you've never heard of out of the blue, but just roll with it and wiki Lokhir Fellheart later.

The other reason to start with the sequel is that its campaign is more likely to keep you involved. The original comes with the Old World campaign, which has you reconstruct your chosen nation then defend it from the forces of Chaos as they roll down from the north like a snowball of hate. It's a basic "take this territory then hold it" story.
Warhammer 2's Eye of the Vortex campaign is instead a race to control a magical energy source that's spinning out of control, letting everyone perform regular rituals that tap into that big blue funnel for potentially game-altering effects. The dark elves can summon ocean fortresses, while the skaven create what are basically magical nukes. It keeps things interesting in the late game.
Though Total War: Warhammer 2 itself is all you need to get going, you should also grab the various free DLCs from Steam and Total War Access because free stuff is good. You'll be able to play as the skaven, high elves, dark elves, or lizardmen—all good choices for beginners, though the lizardmen do have a tricky economy to make up for the fact their units are such beasts.
I mean, they ride dinosaurs. Of course that's more expensive than some horses or whatever.
What to play if you love tabletop Warhammer
If you're coming from the tabletop game
If you've ever collected and painted an army of Citadel miniatures, seeing them represented in digital form is a delight. (You can press K to get rid of the UI and zoom in for close-ups, and with the Better Camera mod you can get right in there to check out all the detail on a goblin's face.)
In this case, the answer to "where should I start?" is "with whatever has your favorite army in it."
The first game comes with the Empire, dwarfs, greenskins, and vampire counts as standard, plus Bretonnia as a free download. Chaos Warriors, beastmen, wood elves, and Norsca are all paid DLC.
The second game has skaven, lizardmen, high elves, and dark elves as stock armies. Tomb kings and the vampire coast—a new faction of vampirates and seafaring undead cooked up for the videogame—are paid DLC.

To confuse things, some subsets of the first game's factions are playable in the second game's Eye of the Vortex campaign with the right DLC. The Empire (led by Huntsmarshal Wulfhart) return in The Hunter & the Beast, goblins (led by Grom the Paunch) are in The Warden & the Paunch, wood elves (led by the Sisters of Twilight) in The Twisted & the Twilight, and beastmen (led by Doombull Taurox) in The Silence & the Fury. A Bretonnian force under the command of Joan of Arc-analogue Repanse de Lyonesse is available as a free DLC, as is a dwarf force under Thorek Ironbrow.
DLC actually worth buying
The best Total War: Warhammer DLC
One the subject of DLC, after you've exhausted the options presented by one game's basic factions, there's one expansion worth buying: the other game. If you own both you can download the Mortal Empires DLC for Total War: Warhammer 2, plus gain access to any DLC from the first game to use in it (so grab all of what The Creative Assembly calls "free-LC").
Legendary heroes Gotrek and Felix are available as a free DLC. (Image credit: Sega)
Mortal Empires is a third campaign that plays out on a tweaked-for-scale version of both the other campaign maps combined. The objective is simple conquest, first of your own divided people and then various landmarks spread across the map. It's a serious investment of time, a sandbox where you'll spend hundreds of turns pushing armies around. It can be as life-consuming as any live-service game.
While it's inessential, the DLC has improved as the series has gone on. Of the expansions that add entire new races, the second game's Rise of the Tomb Kings and Curse of the Vampire Coast are the most well-regarded. Each has an unusual playstyle, with the Tomb Kings not having to worry about upkeep and the Vampire Coast able to set up pirate coves to profit from rival cities rather than taking them over, while gathering a resource called infamy to draw out legendary pirate captains.
Norsca, a late addition to the first game, is quite different as well. Its mammoth-riding Vikings are all about raiding and sacking rather than settling down, razing enemy settlements so you can build unholy monoliths in the ashes. It's worth it if pillaging is more your thing.
The smaller Legendary Lord packs each focus on expanding two existing factions, adding a playable lord and some unique mercenary troops called regiments of renown to beef up both. The recent ones also tweak the campaign mechanics in interesting ways, so again Total War: Warhammer 2's DLC is the stuff to go for. In particular, The Twisted and the Twilight has wood elves led by dragon-riding twins with a subsystem for forging your own magic items, and skaven who grow new units and mutate existing ones in a "flesh laboratory" powered by a currency called "growth juice." So that's nice.
You got red on you. (Image credit: Sega)
One DLC to skip is Blood for the Blood God. The Total War games have had separate blood packs for a while now, ostensibly as a way of keeping the base game's age rating low, and while it does seem like over-the-top gore belongs in a Warhammer game if it belongs anywhere—and, to be fair, the DLC also adds some extra campaign events—the blood splashes are likely to tank your framerate and look kind of silly. Remember how Dragon Age: Origins would coat everyone in fake-looking red paint in every fight? It's a bit like that. At the risk of disappointing the Lord of Rage, this is one DLC not to bother with.
You might also be tempted to look into mods. We can help you out there too, with the best mods for Total War: Warhammer and the best mods for Total War: Warhammer 2.

The net sown area accounts for 48 percent of the total geographical are which is more than the State average of 39.8 percent.

A total of 1300 police constables have been deployed at the Sannidhanam and 1000 constables in Pampa for the first phase of the Makaravilakku festival according to police sources. Economic situation On the economic front the State cannot be termed poor as only 3.5 per cent of the total population live below the poverty line.

Every week brings job lists, emails, documents, and new jobs. How much of this is different from the work you've done? Odds are, maybe not much. A number of our tasks are variants on something.
Don't reinvent the wheel every single time you start something fresh. Use templates–as starting point for 17, standardized files with text and formatting. Once you save another version of the template add, eliminate, or change any data for that exceptional record, and you'll have the new work completed in a fraction of this time.
Templates work everywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management programs, survey programs, and email. Here is the way to use templates and to generate documents from a template–so it's possible to get your common tasks done quicker.
Templates take the time to construct, and it's easy to wonder whether they are worth the investment. The answer: absolutely. Editing a template requires much less time than formatting something. It's the difference between retyping it, or copying and pasting some text.
That's only one advantage: Using a template means you're less likely to leave out crucial info, also. By way of example, if you need to send freelance authors a contributor arrangement, changing a standard contract template (rather than composing a new contract every time) ensures you won't depart out the crucial clause regarding possessing the material as soon as you've paid for it.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. Perhaps you send customers or investors regular project updates. Using a template, you know the upgrade will constantly have the formatting, design, and structure.
Not all templates are created equal–and a few things don't need a template. Listed below are a couple of tips to follow.
First, templates should be comprehensive. So err on the side of including too instead of too small, it is easier to delete info than add it .
Imagine you are developing a template of your resume. You would want to record in-depth details so you are going to have all the information you want to submit an application for almost any job.
You can delete less-important notes later on, but you may forget it in the last version when it's not in the template.
Some tools will automatically fill in these variables for you (more on this in a bit). But should you have to fill in the information on your own, add some text that is obvious and simple to search for so it is possible to locate.


At least four people have been injured in a fire at a motel in Chesterfield County, Virginia, according to local media.
Among the injured are three police officers. The first broke out around 10:35 p.m. local time on Sunday evening.
Firefighters got the fire under control, but one woman who was staying at the motel sustained life-threatening injuries, and three police officers were taken to the hospital with smoke inhalation.


Teriyaki chicken is a lunch favorite in my clan. Quick, flavorful and at least arguably healthy (there's some cabbage in there, am I right?) make it a once a week or so choice.
Teriyaki House on Liberty just as it branches off from South Commercial is the closest purveyor to my work, and as usual we hit it this week. It suffers from the same lackluster appearance that many (most?) Salem eateries do. I can't help but think that most Salem eatery owners have this attitude of, "Well, apparently you can't feed yourself, so we'll feed you... but don't expect us to look nice and inviting."
Back to Teriyaki House! Let's start with the good: You can get a fantastic bento box with teriyaki chicken on a bed of perfectly steamed cabbage and vegetables, rice, gyoza, tempura (including two shrimp) and a small salad for only nine bucks. I've had it a dozen times and it's always identical; consistency is very good here at the 'House. Add a little Sriracha or the sweet and hot sauce available as condiments and it's a lunch heaven.
Each day there is a lunch special for $6.95, usually spicy teriyaki chicken on noodles or rice along with a beverage. Lots of food for not a lot of coin. Gotta love it.
The tiny kitchen is right next to where you order, giving you a sense that all is well because you can actually SEE your food being prepared. The same two people are there all the time and are very pleasant and helpful.
NO ONE LOOKS UP WHEN THEY CLEAN! I mean, seriously, look at this! In the middle of the sky blue ceiling are globs and streaks of black funk in/on/around the vents. This doesn't happen overnight, so it's no like someone just forgot to do it once. THEY'VE NEVER DONE IT. Which makes one wonder... what else aren't they doing?
According to the health department, they aren't cleaning UNDER things, either. A score of 90 in December 2008, which isn't bad. But failure to property deep clean is an issue, and to me that's just an issue of commitment to excellence... or lack thereof. Mostly things you don't immediately see. Like UNDER things. I guess they don't look DOWN either.
Now I'll admit, I don't even want to THINK about what is underneath my stove at home, and I'm sure I'd flunk a health inspection intended for commercial venues. But I don't charge my friends when they come over for dinner, and I *DO* look up and clean the cobwebs off the lights.
One of my pet peeves is sticky or greasy salt and pepper shakers. Those are usually a good indicator of how much attention to detail servers put into cleaning. I've been known to pick up a Parmesan after wrapping the glass with a paper napkin. Nothing's worse to me then the feeling of touching someone's else's dirty hands before eating.
OMG, here's my favorite story of just how low can Salem go. We hadn't been here long, and were looking for good old spaghetti and meatballs, or maybe a stromboli (which in my lingo is a sandwich with sausage, cheese, onions and sauce on it). So we pulled into Michelangelo's Pizza & Spaghetti down on South Lancaster.
We walk in, and behind the counter is a rough looking older woman; you can almost smell the booze and cigarettes from a mile away. She is smoking with one hand, and in the other she is holding a baby who is naked aside from a diaper. She's walking back and forth between the register and the window to the kitchen, before which sits all the plates and usual items servers need to do their jobs.
Menus were sitting on the counter so out of curiosity we opened them up--already damn sure we'd never ever eat there. The menus were positively filthy with sticky smears of food. As we stood there perusing the menus, she sat down her cigarette and switched hands with the baby so she could pull out some plates, and plate some food.
With the same hand she'd just been holding the diapered baby with. All while smoking.
Wow. The place was just awful, a dive of a worn out place.
But you have to wonder . . . how does that happen?
It happens in the best of towns. We saw a mouse in well-known, hipster eatery in Portland on Alberta.
Teriyaki House microwaved our takeout dinner. I saw them do it. Should have asked for my money back right there and then, but I didn't. I won't be back.

Should Keith Urban's New Video Be Rated "NSFW"?
"Somewhere in My Car" Features Skin, Steamed-Up Cars and Creepy Post-Breakup Collages
by Alison Bonaguro 9/29/2014
A press release announcing Keith Urban's new video for "Somewhere in My Car" describes it as his "most risqué to date, a provocative must-see."
Now, how you interpret risqué is up to you.
You may consider this black-and-white video as both artistic and erotic. And it is. There's a perfect balance between the two.
But let's say you're watching it at work, and your boss looks over your shoulder at the exact second that the man and woman in the video are embracing in the rain and there is a very clear shot of a naked side boob. Then is it risqué? Or simply NSFW (Not Safe for Work)?
Because during the course of the four-minute video, there's a lot more than just the side boob.
There's also some top boob, when the woman yanks her camisole down so low, there's almost an intentional wardrobe malfunction. And there's also a butt reveal because her cutoffs are cut off a little too high to even be called shorts.
Add to that the very obvious sex scene going on inside the car, and, well, it's fantastic. I can't stop watching it. Then again, this is my job, so I don't have to worry about anyone questioning whether or not it is NSFW.
The video was shot in Cincinnati, of all places, during his recent tour. Urban only gets close to his guitar in his portion of the video marking the acting debuts of models Jehane Paris of Miami and Rodrigo Calazans, originally from Brazil.
The song isn't about the backseat love, per se. It's more about the memory of it and longing for those nights after she's left.
The song doesn't address why she left, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the super-creepy collage of photos on his wall and the single-room-occupancy vibe of his bedroom. It doesn't have to be professionally decorated, but maybe a nice bedspread and a nightstand could help bring her back.
In the press release, Urban calls the song "melancholy" and said his intention of the video was to be focused on "the intoxicating emotion of 'those nights.'"
If you're lucky, you know exactly what kind of nights Urban is talking about.

According to experts at the Edinburgh Zoo, the Yeti finger smuggled out of India in the 1950s is actually the finger of a human. DNA results prove the finger is that of a human and not some unidentified ape-man or Bigfoot creature said to roam the area from which it was taken.
Actor James Stewart played a key role in smuggling the finger out of India. He hid it in his wife's lingerie case. The finger was thought to be that of a yeti.


I challenge Buhari to grant a presidential media chat… So that Nigerians will see and hear from him to know the truth… 'Na person wey dey talk lie dey call deadbody witness o'.
Unfortunately for the guy and his followers the original Buhari returned yesterday with his entourage which included Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra state.Funny enough the President who returned from France has all the attributes of President Mohammad Buhari,maybe Jubril 'ran' away from Paris and our President returned safely to continue with his good works.
Guys don't let anyone fool you around. When his uncle Jonathan was in power, how come they didn't demand for biafra? He is simply racist against buari's government.
Ola Bee what can you say again???
Evil country call Nigeria created by British government for their economic interest only.
Do you mean that jibrim has not return from Paris?
Hahahaha yellow care to all Nigerians Jubril is on the run.NNAMDI KANU said it on Saturday that he will never come back on Tuesday.That he must go for ear surgery. Jubril die in that bad in Jesus name Amen.

UAE, DUBAI - Health & Education
Healthcare and Wellness Destination
CEO, Dubai Healthcare City Authority — Regulatory (DHCR)
Dr. Ramadan AlBlooshi is CEO of DHCR, the independent regulatory arm of Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA), the governing body of Dubai Healthcare City Free Zone. DHCR is responsible for the licensure of all healthcare professionals and healthcare operators and setting and maintaining international best practice in healthcare delivery and patient care within the free zone.
/ UAE, Dubai
TBY talks to Dr. Ramadan AlBlooshi, CEO of Dubai Healthcare City Authority — Regulatory (DHCR), on the achievements of the DHCC, its competitive edges, and its efforts to boost medical tourism.
What kinds of companies have settled in Dubai Healthcare City?
Since its launch in 2002 by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Healthcare City has aspired to achieve its vision of becoming an internationally recognized destination for quality healthcare and wellness. DHCC is home to more than 400 clinical and non-clinical facilities as well as medical education institutions. DHCC Phase I, occupying an area of 4 million sqft, is home to the Mohammed bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), which has become a pioneer in the UAE's medical and higher education fields. Phase I is also home to three general hospitals, including the free zone's first digital hospital, Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital and the Emirates Specialty Hospital. Dubai's most advanced facility for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, Mediclinic City Hospital's Comprehensive Cancer Centre, is also operating out of DHCC Phase I. In addition, the free zone is home to Al Jalila Children's Specialty Hospital, the first dedicated children's hospital in the UAE, and to regional headquarters of multinational companies. In Phase II, a 17-million sqft area is dedicated to wellness and preventive medicine. The masterplan for Phase II incorporates specialized health and wellness facilities, residences, retail, hospitality, and leisure components. To date, we have over 40% of the masterplan dedicated to committed projects. The Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai (SISD), Dubai's first-ever private school to offer multilingual education is already operating out of Phase II.
What advantages do you offer to the companies that settle in DHCC Free Zone?
The reasons we are able to attract regional and multinational medical and pharmaceutical companies to DHCC Free Zone are that transactions are easy and cost effective. We have 100% freehold benefits here at DHCC. Our one-stop shop gives us a competitive edge. We are able to manage all transactions around setting up a company. You can get your medical and commercial licenses from DHCR, do your medical fitness test for your visa, and get your national ID here. Entities that set up in DHCC do not need to visit any other government body separately to get approvals. This makes the process much faster, easier, and more convenient, which is why it attracts more business.
How do you intend to attract more medical tourists to Dubai?
There are many approaches to attracting medical tourists. One is a price mix theory, which offers treatment at a low cost, which attracts patients. The second school of thought is to provide the best quality treatment to attract medical tourists. Others go for a niche strategy, targeting patients from specific countries. Another strategy is developing a culture of medical tourism. This makes patients feel welcome and relaxed, and they go home feeling better. All of these different strategies have proved to be successful. The Dubai government has decided to adopt a mixture of these approaches. In DHCC, we are looking to strengthen quality care with a focus on certain specialties. For example, we have Dubai's most advanced facility for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, Mediclinic City Hospital's Comprehensive Cancer Centre and ophthalmology services provided by renowned providers such as Moorfields Eye Hospital. We also have several diabetes and wellness treatments here.
What are your plans for 2018?
We are focusing on Phase II of DHCC on the concept of wellness and preventive medicine. We are bringing more investors in now to work on developing wellness offerings. We are also focusing on children's and elderly healthcare. To some extent we also want to work on the different elements of rehabilitation.

Sed Contra: John Paul the Great
It has been a great privilege to edit the pages that follow. Imagine having dozens of reflections on our Holy Father, written by the best Catholic minds of our age, with which to arrange a fitting tribute to this Man of the Century. We at Crisis dedicate this issue to him for what his leadership, in fifty years as a priest and nineteen as pope, have meant to the Church.
"Courage" is the word that came up most often in the contributions to our symposium on the papacy of John Paul II. "Be not afraid," he told us at the beginning of his reign, and fearlessness has characterized his nineteen-year pontificate. John Paul II has shown us that courage combined with wisdom can move what seems immovable. He did not set his course with studied calculation for satisfying the predictions of professional pundits. The man who discovered his vocation under the shadow of Nazi occupation has no fear of wrathful elites anxious to protect the prerogatives of their delusional autonomy.
Courage, as we all learned in school, is the willingness to do good in the face of danger, even death. Courage does not cling to comfort. Courage does not blindly assert itself but pursues its object with clarity of purpose. Courage can be costly, but it can be glorious. How many men would so generously forgive their own paid assassin? The courage of our Holy Father has enlarged the limits of the possible for all of us. Before John Paul II many assumed we were destined to suffer a gradual eclipse of orthodox Catholicism, but he has shown us the way to evangelize in modernity: Call God's people back to the simple truths that anchor our faith, the truths that everyone, in spite of their complaints, is hungry to hear.
He has taught Catholics once again to think beyond the headlines, to retain their confidence in the restless heart of mankind, and to serve the deepest needs of the human heart rather than the manipulators of popular opinion. In doing so, John Paul II has given us the agenda for the next century, and strong and effective tools to implement it.
Nothing could be more fitting that this pope leading us toward the next millennium. Unmoved by fanatics awaiting the end times, John Paul quietly but firmly instructs us to reflect upon the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He directs us, for the sake of renewal, to ponder the foundations of our faith. He ignores those who place their bets on ideological solutions to human problems. John Paul II knows that wisdom, like courage, comes from constant prayer: a prayer in union with the Church and the communion of saints. Confident in the power of that prayer, the Holy Father's example is our shield from the spiritual exotica of our time.
Professional dissenters in the Church are already trying to label this papacy an aberration in the development of a "new" church. Despite his great popularity, there remains a constant undertone of criticism towards John Paul's papacy in the mainstream media. It is often insinuated that John Paul II is overly traditional, even reactionary, in his affirmation of the Church's authority and moral teaching. For example, the declaration that the Church has no authority to confer priestly ordination on women has been dismissed as a mere delaying tactic in the inexorable march toward a redefinition of the priesthood. In addition, his writings on sexual morality, his devotion to Mary, and his rejection of liberation theology are regarded as out-of-step with the Church emerging from the reforms of Vatican II. Our symposium contributors respond to this question: Is the leadership of the Holy Father merely holding back the tide of inevitable changes in the form and content of the Catholic faith, or do you envision a different future?
Like so many lay initiatives obedient to the Magisterium, Crisis was born just after Karol Wojtyla was elected Bishop of Rome. The late '70s was a time of great uncertainty for Catholics: old institutions, co-opted by activists more interested in carrying out the social agendas of the '60s, lost sight of the Church's perennial work. The Holy Father's papacy has strengthened the visibility of the invisible Church. The Catechism, the Code of Canon Law, his unmatched series of letters and encyclicals: all these great gifts to the Church will continue to bear their fruit. New institutions—colleges, publications, associations—born in the era of John Paul the Great, are now coming to maturity as leaders of the Catholic faithful. The next generation will deliver a wake-up call to the secularized Catholic establishment: the period of willful cooperation with the culture of death is over.

Q: why does this particular program print me five? Please help me with this one guys! why are there arguments given to a method that is void??
public class C {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        int k = 1;
        int[] x = {0, 1, 2, 3};
        int[] y = x;
        lurig(x, y, k);
        System.out.println(x[0] + k + y[0]);
    }

    public static void lurig(int[] p, int[] q, int r) {
        p[0] = 1;
        q[0] = 2;
        r = 3;
    }
}

A: Your x and y array actually refer to the same location in memory. This means that after calling lurig(x, y, k) both x[0] and y[0] are 2.
If you want x and y to refer to seperate memory locations, you need to do it like this
int[] x = {0, 1, 2, 3};
int[] y = new int[4];
System.arraycopy(x, 0, y, 0, x.length);

A: x[0] is 0 k is 1 y[0] is 0
-> lurig() changes x[0] to 1 and y[0] to 2 but since y has the same reference as x it also changes x[0] to 2 k is a primitive type so it remains as 1 (completely unaffected)
-> 2 + 1 + 2 gives 5
5 is NOT returned it's being written out to the console. You don't have a return statement you have a System.out out stands for output.


Alright, let's at least try to make something nice. I have 1590 points plus Huron. This inevitably won't be competitive, but it's me, which is the main thing.
Thinking on my earlier point of CSMs not being hordey, I'm an idiot. There is a way they can be hordey. I'm just not used to using them without bolters, is all. If I can't have Berzerkers without paying a minimum of 75 for another HQ, I'll just have something vaguely similar.
Oh grief, now the hard part. Explaining it.
Huron: Is sorta compulsory. Goes in the Chaos Horde with the Sorceror. This does mean it can't ever Infiltrate, mind. Oh, and another annoying query. The Necron book states I attach Crypteks to units of Necrons 'before the battle.' Please define this term. Until you do, I'm going to assume this happens at the same stage as 'before deployment' as so I may select a unit of Warriors with Cryptek for the purposes of Master of Deception.
Sorceror: This is the last thing I put in as I hadn't a clue what to do with the 60 points. As it stands, I'll probably roll Telepathy as nearly all the powers have marginal use and I don't want to gamble on one roll on Biomancy or Pyromancy. Plus, he boosts psychic defence.
Chaos Marines: Ragey rage, with meltaguns on the off chance I need them. They may not have Furious Charge, but they still throw out attacks on the cheap.
Cultists: I needed a second Chaos Troop. Generally they'll hide and try very hard to score. Except the Champion, who's dead.
Heldrake: I wanna play with shiny. Probably baleflamer.
Havocs: I was short of overpriced anti-air. Missiles are still nice. Probably Priority One.
Overlord: Goes with the 2 Lords and 2 Crypteks in the Ark and shoots things.
Warriors: My main firebase. Each has a Voltaic Staff. Priority 2&3. One of them is attached to an Ark it won't use.
Why you invested more points into the already expensive Havocs? I know they will be first target, but you're just making something expensive even more expensive.
Because if I'm going to spend 100 points on four shots I'm going to make sure I get all four of them as many times as possible.


MobileIron's Doc@Works secure content hub will allow employees of businesses with a BYOD policy to access files from personal cloud storage services without violating IT policies or jeopardising corporate security.
The mobile device management (MDM) specialist says employees now expect to be able to use their own cloud storage accounts and that if firms choose to ban such applications, workers will simply find a way to circumvent these restrictions.
"The personal cloud has become the centre of our digital lives and like it or not, enterprise information now lives everywhere," says Ojas Rege, vice president of strategy at MobileIron. "Users demand best-of-breed mobile productivity solutions and, many times, those are actually consumer services.
The application will be available for iPhone, iPad and Android and provides native access to popular services like Box, Dropbox, Office 365 and OneDrive. Users can search, view, download and save documents from both on-premise and cloud repositories and emails are scanned so that attachments can only be opened within Doc@Works, ensuring no corporate data is leaked.
Files can be edited locally within the Doc@Works application, or remotely through an integrated browser, and can be re-uploaded to the various cloud storage services securely.
Earlier this year it was announced that EE would provide MobileIron Cloud MDM platform as standard to its SMB customers, the first time it has been offered as a MobileIron-hosted service.

More 1M Thoughts from Recent Fan Test Drives
by Gabriel Bridger November 24, 2010 November 24, 2010
1Addicts memdber (and CCA driving instructor) M3 Adjuster just posted a recap of his experience with the 1M at the recent fan drives in Germany. Let 's get right into some of the juicier bits:
>We set off from the factory, and drove directly to the Autobahn! Large rooster tails formed due to the rain, however we still moved along at over 150 kph.. Taking advantage of being the trailing car, I once dropped back and got a good clean run up to 180 kph (110 mph). The engine exhaust note inside the car was wonderful, nearly rivaling the interior sound of the E92 M3. Acceleration was brisk, and in third gear, there was no flat spot or tailing off, and a shift to fourth placed the car in the center of the power band for continued acceleration. The first thing that I noticed was that under powerful acceleration, the 1M does *not* have the floaty sensation at the front end that I have experienced in the 135/ 335. At the rear of the car, the car had plenty of grip under acceleration, unless one, say… rounded a corner in second, and simply mashed the throttle. Such churlish man-handling in the wet resulted in wheelspin at the rear, with the side stepping smartly sideways before the DSC kicked in to save the day. And by save the day…. I mean just that…. On track or on road, the DSC never killed the party like it does in the E36 M3.. when the DSC kicked in, I 'd say it was definitely needed! We turned onto some local roads which went from smooth to eventual cobblestone. While the cobblestone part was excessively bumpy, the ride was still rather good!
>At the factory, we then went to a test track. The test track is a large oval with a significant kink in one side. The two ends of the oval are second gear corners with banking and Armco at the edge. The back straight is long and straight, and the front straight has a gentle bend that places it parallel to the back straight for most of it 's length, however negotiating the same bend at speed at the end of the straight is rather tricky. It 's reminiscent of bends mid way down the straight at tracks like Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, and Road America in the US. At this point it was simply I and another participant in our car, and, being two of the more aggressive drivers in our group, we again employed the drop back method. We each attained speeds of 220 kph on the back straight, which required dropping to second gear exiting the curve, and then flat out full power acceleration out of the corner down the straight. The DSC kicked in at the top of second while launching off the corner, then up through the gears to the top of fourth gear. I once touched nearly 230 kph, which meant negotiating the bend at over 200 kph… in the WET.. with it actively raining. The car simply felt rock stable throughout and under braking at the end of the long straight, I waited as late as possible and each time hauling the car down I never reached so far as to activate ABS, but made clean, nearly effortless stops. During the last lap, I did late brake into the corner, provoking under-steer, but as I got into the corner was able to turn in smartly and use a slight lift of the throttle to bring the rear around…..all without DSC interfering…. While I didn 't know the conversion to mph, I knew I had just driven nearly as fast I had ever gone on track, *in the RAIN*, and not even in my own car. Later at dinner, someone calculated that 220kph was 135+….
>My next runs through I concentrated on transitioning and seat of the pants feel and flew through the cones, pushing aggressively, feeling my own smile get wider and wider as I did a second, a third, and then a fourth lap through the slalom… It was now getting on to about 5pm and getting dark outside. One of the engineers then took the wheel and I and another participant hopped in the back seat for some wheel spinning drifting, opposite lock u turns, and an intentional " tank slapper " that had us being thrown about the rear of the car like rag dolls. That 's not something one will ever do with an E30! Other than being hugely fun, it again highlighted the phenomenal amount of grip from the chassis and the tires. I took note of the sizes… a massive 265/35/19 at the rear, and 245/35/19 at the front… aah.. yes… the familiar staggered setup that has been prevalent among BMWs in the last several decades. so as to create safe, predictable understeer. Perhaps in the aftermarket a balanced setup can be fitted to the car to really make it neutral..
>From the skid pad, we were then taken into a large room in the back of the factory…. There.. under a cover stood a car… and without a great amount of fanfare, the cover was removed so we could see the car in all it 's glory…. Valencia orange…. no CF roof… but then again… not surprpising…. In the past, the US M Brand Manager Larry Koch explained to me that the US federalization process would require testing both a CF and non CF version, which is why the E90 comes in CF roof only… no sunroof option on the 2 door model, so no surprise that in a car in the middle of the life cycle that there were no trick new body panels… However… the overall look of the car is completely badass.. Large air ducts at the front for brake cooling…. not X5 M/X6M huge but very well proportioned…. the massively flared rear quarters with those big tires in the rear… . the side mirrors have two-tone openings in them for air flow ala the E36 and E92 M3… The dash is vintage M with red pointers on the dials and a precisely placed M logo…. and of course on the rear a single //M logo….
>From our conversations with the M personnel, the weight distribution is 50/50… power at approximately 340 hp (primarily from uprated tolerances and revised ECU mapping) and with a curb weight that will be under 1500 kilos (3300 lbs) this puts the car in the range of the E36 curb weight… with a lot more tire and a great deal more power….. Is this car going to replace the E30 M3… perhaps not.. but it also outperforms the E30 M3 in many ways while also being reminiscent of the E30 M3 in size, and handling. In my mind…. Dr. Kay has indeed delivered a car that IS the full package… it is " M Pure "… easily worthy of the M logos it wears. I wish I could come up with negatives for this car, but to be simply honest, it simply exceeded all my expectations… I went to Leipzig expecting a hit… but instead found a car that is an absolute HOME RUN. Can it be equaled or bettered in the aftermarket by modifying a 135? Probably so…. but such a car will never have the cachet of an M car…nor the resale value… nor will it be the first 1M…. which in time… may prove to be as respected as the E30 M3.
Nothing new in the details but we love this write-up. And from a seasoned driving instructor it holds a different and in fact special kind of weight over the previous reviews we 've read. Needless to say if you are interested in this car you may want to make sure you 're on a list somewhere.

Home News Stimulus is 'Infinite,' Mike Mayo Says After Gary Cohn Talks
Stimulus is 'Infinite,' Mike Mayo Says After Gary Cohn Talks
by Felice Maranz
(Bloomberg) — The main positive takeaway from a meeting with President Donald Trump's former economic adviser Gary Cohn was that government stimulus to stem the effects of the Covid-19 crisis may be "infinite," according to Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo.
In the short term, there's potential for "wave after wave of support for the economy and unemployed workers; the desire to do so should remain so long as there is a quarantine," Mayo wrote in a note. Moreover, he added that "the return of consumer spending in the U.S. should not be underestimated."
The discussions with Cohn, who was also a top Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive, reinforced Mayo's view that the largest banks are better-positioned for customer benefits from government programs, reallocating resources and leveraging scale from technology, he said.

"Better to have been a racer for a moment then a spectator for life."
Beau's father Bob began his obsession with racing before he was legally allowed to drive. He raced flat track motorbikes and home-built dragsters before Beau was born, and moved into Formula Fords and Sportscars in the 1980's. He has competed in both the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona, as well as countless other IMSA and SCCA events.
Beau spent his youth in the garage working on his father's cars, and eventually competed along side him in a pair of GT1 cars that they built in Tampa, Florida. He has continued his racing exploits from his home base in Venice Beach, California. Today Bob and Beau continue to co-drive together as often as they can.


Apr 17 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — And then there were none. As of the victory on Tuesday of Alberta's United Conservatives, Canada's first ministers' club is once again male-only. Of the quartet of female premiers who led Canada's largest provinces as recently as five years ago, not a single member is left at the table.
Apr 12 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — The sound coming out of Conservative backrooms on Parliament Hill in the hours following the presentation of this week's Ontario budget was that of a collective sigh of relief. From Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer's perspective, his party dodged a pre-election bullet on Thursday.
Apr 8 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — Justin Trudeau's Liberal caucus may be done with Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, but that does not mean either of the former ministers is done with politics. Each has accumulated enough political capital over the course of the SNC-Lavalin affair to have alternative options to explore.
Mar 27 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — The political stars are just about perfectly aligned for Quebec Premier François Legault as he opens the latest chapter in the province's controversial securalism debate. The introduction on Thursday of the Coalition Avenir Québec's most contentious piece of legislation to date comes at a time when the rookie government is riding high in voting intentions.
Mar 22 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — Had former Treasury Board president Jane Philpott sought to sabotage her government by breathing new life in the SNC-Lavalin saga this week, she would not have acted otherwise. Her first post-resignation interview — given to Maclean's on the day after the federal budget was presented — raised more questions than it provided factual answers.
Will Trudeau call the federal election early?
Mar 20 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — By calling a provincial election for April 16, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has opened a window for an early federal vote. If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were so inclined, he could send Canadians to the polls before Canada Day.
Mar 6 2019 — Chantal Hébert — Toronto Star — When Gerald Butts appeared in front of the House of Commons justice committee on Wednesday, he did not to try to topple Jody Wilson-Raybould from her truth-teller pedestal in the SNC-Lavalin affair — almost certainly an impossible mission — but he did chip away at its base.

We breathlessly debate BlacKkKlansman, Spike Lee's comic drama based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, a black police officer who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s. With limited time – Mike has to leave for work at some point and he'll only let himself be so late – we dig right in. Discussed is the film's point of view on culture and particularly cinema, arguing that a single film can wield the power to affect an entire nation; John David Washington's performance, the influences we can see in it, and whether a more charismatic star might have been beneficial; our attitudes to Lee's pamphleteering and the pros and cons of propagandistic cinema; the film's direct address of Trump's America and its tragic, somewhat surprising ending; and more.
As we acknowledge in the podcast, we unfortunately missed the first few minutes of the film, which is only one reason we want to see it again. Mike is bursting with thoughts and can't get them all out; Jose vacillates on the film's artistic value, though not its cultural value. There's much, much more to consider in BlacKkKlansman than we were able to in this podcast and we shall return to it.

Low-budget, unexceptionally made, and absolutely vital. The First Purge takes the story of the Purge series back to the beginning, with a poor community composed of people of colour being savagely experimented upon for political purposes. Mike slightly had to drag José to see it, as it was showing only in single late-night screenings, but both were glad he did, as it's perhaps the most direct and powerful critique of white hegemony that popular cinema has offered in recent memory.
There's simply so much food for thought and we urge you to see it.

Feeling he gave it short shrift the first time, Mike's keen to revisit Three Billboards, and drags José along for the ride. With the clumsy handling of race issues clouding the film less, we pick up on listener feedback that leads us into ruminations on Frances McDormand's Mildred, particularly her defiance of the misogynist society in which she lives and zealous attitude towards collective responsibility, and whether the character arc of Sam Rockwell's Dixon truly is a redemptive one.
We also double down on our criticism of the film's use of derogatory terms, Mike's been reading about Flannery O'Connor on Wikipedia, and we consider what would have been gained and lost had the film been written and directed by the Coens.

Popular Nigerian Comedian Bovi has responded after Davido made history by performing in a sold out concert in a not known South American Country.
One of Africa's biggest music pop star & DMW's boss Davido has made a history yesterday, after he sold out 10,000 capacity of a small region in the South American that most of us will never visit in our life.
The " Fia " singer sell out 10,000 capacity auditorium in Suriname, which is not situated in Africa, or Europe, or the USA, but Paramaribo, Suriname in the South America continent. This is an proof that Nigeria music has gone worldwide!
Suriname is a small country on the northeastern coast of South America. It's defined by vast swaths of tropical rainforest, Dutch colonial architecture & a melting-pot culture. On its Atlantic coast is the capital, Paramaribo, where palm gardens grow near Fort Zeelandia, a 17th-century trading post. Paramaribo is also home to Saint Peter and Paul Basilica, a towering wood cathedral consecrated in 1885.

Tough start to 2019 for stocks after weak data from China
Trader Fred DeMarco works in a booth on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019. Stock markets started the new year with a tumble, as disappointing Chinese economic data on Wednesday renewed concerns that a global trade war is weighing on growth. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
NEW YORK (AP) — Global stocks are falling to start 2019 after more shaky economic news from China. The stock market turned volatile late in 2018 as investors grew increasingly worried about threats to global economic growth, and those concerns could define the market's path new year as well.
A government survey and one by a major business magazine showed Chinese manufacturing weakened in December as global and domestic demand both cooled. That weighed on big exporters Wednesday, with technology companies like Microsoft and Netflix and industrials like Boeing and Caterpillar taking sharp losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 300 points.
The major U.S. indexes and the global market are coming off their worst year in a decade. The benchmark S&P 500 fell 6 percent last year, its first substantial loss since 2008, and it's fallen more than 15 percent since late September. Many other stock indexes around the world fared even worse last year as traders saw signs the global economy was growing at a slower clip after a few years of strength.
From September through the end of December, investors became more and more worried that challenges including U.S.-China trade tensions, rising interest rates, and political uncertainty could slow the economy and company profits more dramatically, and possibly tip the U.S. economy and the global economy into a recession. The U.S. economy has been expanding for almost a decade, and stocks have risen steadily over that time.
