Since When does Production I.G adapt BL Mangas?
by Bolt Vanderhuge
I have to admit that I probably wouldn't have bothered to watch Moriarty the Communist Patriot if not for my anime group voting for it. I had actually never heard of this before, so I went into it completely unbiased when I started. The fact that Production I.G had done it gave me some hope initially, because back in the '90s and early 2000s, they had actually made some pretty good stuff, even it was pretty obvious one or more people there had a huge anti-America boner. While the same attention to technical detail is still alive there, as someone obviously did their homework on Victorian-era Britain. But while the art skills are still there, the writing skill apparently is not.
At first I thought this series might just be some attempt to make the character of Moriarty more sympathetic (as the title calling him a patriot suggests), or at least an attempt to try some kind of a twist on the old Sherlock Holmes franchise by focusing on this character. Essentially, Moriarty shows all the same deductive skills that are stereotypically associated with Holmes, but the "twist" ends up being that the perpetrator of the crimes he solves are all rich aristocrats and the "service" he offers is to arrange for someone else to murder them.
While was not immediately apparent to my dense self, but after the opening monologue started in the second episode and the flashback featured therein, it became obvious that this series is really just socialist revenge fantasy, which frankly was quite horrifying for a freedom-lover like myself to watch.
The English dub of this scene is … less discriminate.
The strict class separation of Victorian England really lends itself well to socialist talking points, but the show really does go overboard on it. Part of me wonders if they are just using England as a proxy for Japan, given the taboo against criticizing the Imperial family, but that's probably giving the writers too much credit given how cartoonishly evil all the aristocrats in this series are depicted. Except for Albert Moriarty, who proves his virtue by murdering his entire family after first talking them into adopting William and his brother Louis. Only after the senior Moriarty paid for Louis to get life-saving surgery, though.
The first part of the series was very formulaic, consisting entirely of some aristocrat doing something completely inhumanly evil, William showing how smart he is by figuring out who committed said wrongdoing and/or finding all the details he needs for him and his crew of fellow commies to murder said aristocrat without getting caught. These "perfect crimes" were to be part of some plan to somehow reform the British Empire, but it wasn't really apparent how this would be accomplished since it really seemed to be all about the revenge aspect and just how smart William was. I would even have gone as far as to accuse him of being a Wesley Crusher level Gary Stu if not for the fact that he was basically just the pop culture stereotype of Sherlock Holmes but evil.
I was honestly getting bored of this series once the initial shock of Production I.G having gone full commie on me had worn off, but just as I was starting to zone out, the series changed things up by introducing the famous detective and archenemy of Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes. It was at times actually somewhat interesting to see these two play off of each other, but it was also pretty apparent that the show was basically morphing into a yaoi fan-fic. It later became the ultimate crossover fic after introducing a few other characters from the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle series by doing some … interesting things with them. For example, Irene Adler went from being able to disguise herself as a man (somehow, in spite of being built like Danni Ashe), to being trans, and being able to beat the crap out of people, to actually being the first James Bond, and first agent of MI6, which was totally invented thanks to William Moriarty's influence. Upon the reveal of her new name, I laughed my ass off. A character named Billy the Kid also turns up. Stuff like this was the only real entertainment I got out of this series. It's literally the ultimate yaoi socialist self-insert cross-over fan-fiction.
Literally the ultimate yaoi socialist self-insert cross-over fan-fiction.
I guess another example of the hilarity of this show is that it seemed to be structured like the 1997 Berserk series in that it started in 1911 New York City (with a period-accurate skyline) and then flashed back to William Moriarty's beginning in London, but it's like the writers forgot to bookend the series, and rather than ending up back in 1911 New York City, it ended in Switzerland. This Rian Johnson level of subverting expectations may be accurate to the manga (I don't know or care), but it is still pretty funny.
So should you watch this show? Well, that depends. Are you a communist BL fan who also likes Sherlock Holmes? If so, you'd probably like this show, and hijacking planes to get to Red Zone Cuba. Do you like watching absurd things and making fun of them? You will find plenty to make fun of in this series, but it only really picks up toward the end and you really have to wait for the laughs before that. If you don't want to wade through propaganda to get to the stupidly fun second season, or were foolishly hoping this show might do an actual adaptation of a Conan Doyle mystery, I would recommend that you skip this one and maybe watch Sherlock Hound instead.

BI 2536
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing TH17 cells are often present at the sites
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing TH17 cells are often present at the sites of cells swelling in autoimmune diseases, which has lead to the summary that TH17 are main drivers of autoimmune cells injury. and differentiate into different effector phenotypes 1. Capital t helper type 1 (TH1) cells, caused by the transcription element (T-bet) create interferon- (IFN-), interleukin 2 (IL-2) and lymphotoxin (LT) and were demonstrated to become important for eradicating intracellular pathogens 2, 3. In contrast, TH2 cells that are generated by the transcription element GATA-3 produce IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and were demonstrated to become essential for eradicating extracellular pathogens 4, 5. An exaggerated TH1 response against self-antigens was implicated in inducing autoimmune diseases 6. However, the loss of IFN- or IFN- receptor (IFN-R) did not induce resistance to developing autoimmune diseases 7, BI 2536 8, in truth, mice deficient for these proteins were found to become highly vulnerable to autoimmununity 7, 8. Paradoxically, loss of the TH1-specific transcription element, T-bet, made these mice resistant to multiple autoimmune diseases including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of the human being disease multiple sclerosis (MS) 9. This raised the issue of what is definitely the part of T-bet in inducing EAE, because the production of IFN- is definitely not required for conferring encephalitogenicity to effector TH1 cells. TH17 cells, which have been characterized as an additional effector Capital t cell subset that create IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22, possess been suggested to become the essential driver of autoimmune cells swelling 10C14. TH17 cells were observed to become indicated at the sites of cells swelling and have been connected with the induction of many human being autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes and MS 14. TH17 cells are differentiated by a combination of TGF-1, IL-6 and IL-1 cytokines, which induces RORt, a transcription element required for their generation 10, 12, 13, 15. Whereas TGF-1 plus IL-6 can induce TH17 cells, exposure to another cytokine, IL-23, was demonstrated to become important for their stabilization and for their ability to induce autoimmune cells swelling in EAE16C18. IL-23R polymorphism offers been genetically linked to many human being autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, IBD and ankylosis spondylitis 19, 20. Exposure to IL-23 was demonstrated to reduce the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in developing TH17 cells, therefore making these cells pathogenic 21. However, this also raised the query whether there are cytokines or effector substances dependent on IL-23 that make them pathogenic to induce swelling in autoimmune disease. Although TH17 cells were thought to become pathogenic11, 22, gathering data shows the living of non-pathogenic IL-17 generating TH17 cells 23, 24. It remains ambiguous whether there is definitely a Rabbit polyclonal to ADAMTS3 differential requirement for their induction and what makes a TH17 cell pathogenic or non-pathogenic. Latest research have got proven that GM-CSF (CSF-2), which is certainly created by TH17 and transactivated by RORt, is certainly needed for conferring pathogenicity to TH17 cells 25, 26. BI 2536 Certainly, GM-CSF-deficient rodents are resistant to the induction of EAE 25 extremely, 27. Nevertheless, it continues to be unsure why T-bet?/? rodents are resistant to the induction of EAE and various other autoimmune illnesses, recommending that T-bet must possess extra jobs in the induction of pathogenic TH17 cells in EAE 24. T-bet is certainly portrayed in TH17 cells24, but whether a function is played by BI 2536 it in inducing pathogenic function of TH17 cells provides not really been addressed. In this scholarly research we possess discovered an endogenous cytokine, TGF-3, which is certainly particularly created by developing TH17 cells in an IL-23 reliant way that is certainly essential for generating pathogenic TH17 phenotype. Whereas TGF-1 plus IL-6 differentiate na?ve T cells into TH17 cells, these T cells are not pathogenic unless they are open to IL-23 additional. We today display that IL-23 is certainly important for improving phrase and/or preserving the endogenous amounts of TGF-3 in developing TH17 cells. In reality, difference of TH17 cells in the existence of TGF-3 and IL-6 makes TH17 cells pathogenic without any want for additional publicity to IL-23. Using these subsets of non-pathogenic and pathogenic TH17 cells, we possess discovered a molecular personal linked with pathogenic TH17 cells. Outcomes TGF-3 induction in TH17 cells TGF-1 and IL-6 are needed for difference of TH17 cells10, 12, 13. Nevertheless, TH17 cells.
Type ? organic monster Capital t cells (NKT cells), a subset
Type ? organic monster Capital t cells (NKT cells), a subset of Compact disc1d-restricted Capital t cells with invariant Sixth is v TCR, are characterized by quick creation of huge sums of Th1 and/or Th2 cytokines upon main activation through the TCR complicated. item. Furthermore, over-expression of Compact disc1deb lead in a thymic removal of high-affinity Compact disc1d-restricted NKT cells in transgenic rodents, as well significantly decreased rate of recurrence of NKT cells in FTOC, BI 2536 recommending unfavorable selection of NKT cells may become affected by ligand conveying cells in the thymus through changing ligand denseness. Especially, Compact disc1deb conveying thymic stromal cells, dCs mainly, than DP thymocytes mediated harmful selection of NKT cells rather, and Compact disc4+ NKT cells shaped the bulk of these removed NKT cells22. Rarity in BI 2536 human beings, deficiency in mice even, of Compact disc8+ SP NKT cells suggests a feasible system of Compact disc8-mediated harmful selection during Compact disc8+SP NKT cell advancement. Nevertheless, Engel and co-workers believe that the exemption of Compact disc8+SP NKT cells from murine NKT cells is certainly a by-product of improved phrase of Compact disc4 elements on NKT cells, which is certainly governed by the transcription aspect Th, Poxviruses and Zinc-finger (POZ), and Krppel family members (Th-POK)24. Handles of NKT cell advancement and homeostasis Full lack of NKT cells in rodents lacking in recombinase subunits Publication-1 and Publication-2 or the TCR L18 portion confirmed that effective rearrangement of TCR gene sections Sixth is v14 to L18 is certainly certainly required to the following selection of DP thymocytes25, 26. The transcription and signaling elements stated below work as get good SYNS1 at government bodies on the NKT cell family tree, but specific from regular Testosterone levels cells19. Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-t (ROR-t), a transcription aspect that induce the phrase of antiapoptotic molecule Bcl-xL, enables for phrase and rearrangement of distal sections in DP thymocytes, which need multiple excisions reliant on an expanded life expectancy of DP thymocytes27, 28. The regular canonical Sixth is v14 to L18 rearrangement in DP thymocytes but with decreased amounts of NKT cells in the lack of the transcription aspect Runx1, suggests that Runx1 is certainly quite most likely included in NKT cell selection or following enlargement17. Invariant NKT cell precursors are blocked at an premature Compact disc44loNK1 selectively.1? stage (stage 0 or 1) in conditional amputation of c-Myc in DP thymocytes, but without any perturbation in the advancement of regular Capital t cells. Nevertheless, transgenic manifestation of BCL-2 to support cell success do not really save NKT cell advancement in c-Myc knockout (KO) rodents unlike that in Runx1 KO rodents29, 30. These results indicate a c-Myc-mediated intrathymic expansion influx in instantly early stage of NKT cell advancement in response to chosen indicators including the Slam/Sap/FynT signaling axis30. The Capital t package transcription element T-bet is usually important to era of completely adult Sixth is v14 NKT cells at the transit of BI 2536 stage 2 to 3, which may become connected with some cytokines such as IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18 to promote NKT cell growth31, 32. NF-B family members users are also suggested as a factor in NKT cell advancement downstream of SLAM-Sap-Fyn signaling cascade and/or TCR-mediated indicators. The NIK-mediated service of RelB in thymic stroma is usually a exclusive contribution to undamaged era of premature NKT cell precursors. Stopping NK-B signaling in precursors prospects to an reduced growth of NKT cells mainly at the changeover of stage 2 to 333. The insufficiency of At the proteins transcription element HEB significantly clogged the advancement of NKT cells at the stage 0 but produced no difference to standard Capital t cells because it failed to regulate thymocyte success or distal rearrangements of the TCR string34. Promyelocytic leukemia zinc little finger transcription element (PLZF) is usually accountable for the early phases (stage 1 to 2) of NKT cell growth and creation of the practical cytokines, actually in the lack of SLAM-SAP-Fyn signaling35, 36. Lately, the recognition of picky function for the transcription element early development response 2 (Egr2) in growth and homeostasis BI 2536 of NKT cells also stresses the importance of the calcineurin-NFAT-Egr2 path in the advancement of NKT cells. A bulk of NKT cells set up in the liver organ might end up being attributable to Identity2, which adjusts the phrase of chemokine receptor CXCR6 and anti-apoptotic elements to determine the growth and localization of NKT cells37. Individual Compact disc4? NKT cells response to IL-15 mostly, whereas Compact disc4+ NKT cells are even more reactive to IL-7 by coupling with up-regulated receptors, which is consistent with cytokine signaling pathways initiated by IL-7/IL-7Ur and IL-15/IL-15R. These paths play a central function in success and growth of NKT cells, but not really typical.
Matrix metalloprotainases (MMPs) play a significant role in a number of
Matrix metalloprotainases (MMPs) play a significant role in a number of pathologic processes such as for example malignancy where they facilitate invasion and metastasis and may be focuses on for anticancer therapies. 2002 Here we use enzyme zymography to examine the influence of the ethanol extract of the on the expression of MMPs. Furthermore its cytotoxic effect on a fibrosarcoma cell line was investigated. Materials and methods Plant Collection The whole plant of was collected from the Shulabad region in Lorestan province at an altitude of 2600 m and was identified by Dr. F. Attar. A voucher specimen of the plant (21874-TUH) was deposited in the Central Herbarium of the Tehran University Tehran Iran. Extraction procedure The plant were air-dried at room temperature and pulverized. The ethanol (80 % v/v) extract was prepared by maceration of the powder for 72h with three changes of solution at room temperature. The combined solvent extracts were evaporated to yield a brownish viscous residue. All experiments were performed based on the dry mass of concentrated extract. Cell Culture The Fibrosarcoma cell line (WEHI 164) was seeded in 96-well tissue culture plates. Cells were maintained in a RPMI-1640 medium that was supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum plus antibiotics at 5% CO2 37 and saturated humidity. The Fibrosarcoma-Wehi BI 2536 164 cell line was obtained from the National Cell Bank of Iran (NCBI) Pasteur Institute of Iran Tehran Iran. Dose-Response Analysis Triplicate two-fold dilutions of BI 2536 plant extract and diclofenac sodium were transferred to overnight cultured cells. Non-treated cells were used as control. BI 2536 Cells were cultured overnight and were then subjected to colorimetric assay. Cytotoxicity was expressed as the percentage of viable cells at different concentrations of samples. Rabbit Polyclonal to OR10Z1. IC 50 was calculated as the dose at which 50% cell death occurred relative to the untreated cells. The corresponding supernatants of the cultured cells were used for zymoanalysis. Colorimetric Assay In the cytotoxicity assay cells in the exponential phase of growth were incubated for 24h at 37°C with 5% CO2 with a serial dilution of extract. Cell proliferation was evaluated by a modified Crystal Violet colorimetric assay (Saadat et al. 2003 After each experiment the cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate buffer solution and fixated in a 5% formaldehyde solution. Fixed cells were stained with 1% crystal violet. Stained cells had been lysed and solubilized having a 33.3% acetic acidity remedy. The denseness of developed crimson color was read at 580 nm. Zymoanalysis This system has been useful for the recognition of gelatinase (collagenase type-IV or matrix metalloproteinase type-2 MMP-2) and MMP-9 in conditioned press (Heussen and Dowdle 1980 Briefly aliquots of conditioned press had been put through electrophoresis inside a gelatin-containing polyacrylamide gel in the current presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) under nonreducing circumstances. After electrophoresis SDS was eliminated by repeated cleaning with Triton X100. The gel slabs had been after that incubated at 37°C over night inside a gelatinase-activating buffer and consequently stained with Coomassie Excellent Blue R250 (Sigma MA). After extensive destaining proteolysis areas made an appearance as clear rings against a blue history. Utilizing a gel documents program quantitative evaluation of both surface and strength of lysis rings based on grey levels had been compared in accordance with non-treated control wells and indicated as a share from the "Comparative Manifestation" of gelatinolytic activity. The IC50 for the MMP inhibitory impact was determined BI 2536 as doses of which 50% of MMP inhibition occurred relative to untreated control cells. Statistical Analyses The differences in cell cytotoxicity and gelatinase zymography were compared using the Student's test. values <0.05 were considered significant. Results The cytotoxicity of the total extract of the and reference drug were evaluated against the fibrosarcoma cell line (WEHI 164) at four doses of 10 20 40 and 80 μg/ml. Cytotoxicity analysis of the total extract shows a direct dose-response result with the total extract of is also illustrated in Figure 1. The presence of 80 μg/ml of total extract moderately inhibited BI 2536 the growth of the cell line while lower dose levels (less than 80 μg/ml) showed minimal cytotoxicity with a viability percentage of more than 85%. In contrast diclofenac sodium showed a high cytotoxic effect.
Background Nutrition rehabilitation centers (NRCs) have shown mixed results in reducing
Background Nutrition rehabilitation centers (NRCs) have shown mixed results in reducing morbidity and mortality among undernourished children in the developing world. records of household follow-up measurements on a subset of 26 children that were used between one month and 6 years postexit. Nutritional position was examined by determining z-scores for weight-for-height (WHZ) weight-for-age (WAZ) and height-for-age (HAZ). Kids with z-scores < ? 2 were regarded as wasted stunted or underweight respectively. Outcomes The prevalence of throwing away decreased significantly as the prevalence of stunting didn't modification significantly between entry and leave from this program. From entry to leave the mean adjustments in WHZ (0.79) and WAZ (1.08) were statistically significant as the mean modification in HAZ (? 0.02) had not been significant. Linear regression evaluation suggested that dietary position and diarrhea at entry had the best influence on WHZ and HAZ adjustments between entry and leave. Children taken care of their nutritional benefits from this program between leave and follow-up and demonstrated statistically significant BI 2536 improvement in BI 2536 WAZ (however not HAZ). Conclusions CRIN works well at rehabilitating dietary deficits connected with throwing away however not those connected with stunting. = 129) for 26 of the analysis kids during follow-up offered to measure the history degrees of undernutrition in kids from 65 neighboring areas who had under no circumstances attended the dietary rehabilitation system. To be able to determine history degrees of undernutrition in these areas CRIN medical personnel independently performed regular anthropometric monitoring among other precautionary health investigations. Upon demand from Emory College or university staff CRIN personnel offered these deidentified community information and restricted the city records to kids between 6 and 93 weeks of age to be able to match this selection of the subset of CRIN kids at follow-up. After data washing there have been 129 information for the city settings. Data management CRIN child records created in Bolivia by CRIN staff were deidentified prior to transfer to Emory University researchers who double-entered the records into Excel compared and resolved discrepancies to ensure data quality. The data were then imported into SAS statistical software package version 9.2 for analysis. Entrance and exit z-scores were calculated using the WHO 2007 International Standard Reference Population BI 2536 with the SAS Macro provided free of charge from the WHO Nutrition Database [9]. Z-scores of < ? 3 ? 3 to ? 2 ? 2 to ? 1 and > ? 1 represent severe moderate mild and no malnutrition for each of the three categories of z-score (weight-for-height height-for-age and weight-for-age). Statistical evaluation Statistical evaluation was performed with SAS edition 9.3. Chi-square exams were utilized to determine significant distinctions in throwing away underweight and stunting prevalence between entry and leave from this program. The = .054) weighed against those that were bad for parasites. Diarrhea at entry was connected with a greater reduction in HAZ between entry and leave (= .065) weighed against those without diarrhea. Neither vaccine position at entrance nor length of stay (greater than or less than the median FLJ20408 of 60 days) was associated BI 2536 with significant differences in nutritional status at exit. In order to determine whether the program was successful at reducing levels of wasting and stunting across different age groups we compared changes in wasting and stunting prevalence between entrance and exit for four different age groups. Wasting prevalence showed a significant decrease between entrance and exit for each age group with the exception of those over 2 years of age (fig. 1). Stunting prevalence did not differ significantly between entrance and exit for any of the age groups. WHZ (mean change 0.79 ± 0.94) and weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) (mean change 1.08 ± 1.37) were significantly higher at exit from the program than at entrance while BI 2536 changes in HAZ (mean change ? 0.02 ± 0.97) were not significant. In summary CRIN significantly improved weight deficits in children younger than 2 years of age but had little effect on deficits in height. Fig. 1 Wasting decreased significantly between entrance and exit for most age groups while stunting remained virtually unchanged for all those age groups. WHZ weight-for-height z-score; HAZ height-for-age z-score. *Two-sided < .05 compared with entrance ... We had been also interested to learn whether CRIN was able to helping kids at highest dietary.

Happy Chinese New Year! How will you celebrate the Year of the Rabbit?
In honor of the anniversary of D-Day, we created this list of World War II Museums in the United States. Plus, free online educational resources and some of the best books on "The Good War"!


FOREIGN MINISTER AL-SABAH: (Via interpreter) Your Excellency, Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State of the United States, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to welcome today the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the U.S. delegation in Kuwait.
This visit is of an utmost importance since it's the first of the U.S. Secretary of State to Kuwait in the framework of the Strategic Dialogue between two countries. This visit is within difficult regional and international situation and circumstances. Today, alongside His Excellency Secretary of State Pompeo, we met with His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect him. We listened to his guidelines and important advice with regard to several international and regional issues and that aim at promoting and consolidating the bilateral relations between both countries.
Kuwait and the United States have historic and very important relations. The diplomatic relations between both countries have been established in 1961. However, bilateral relations go back, way back to 1880 when the (inaudible), an American traveler visited Kuwait and wrote down his first impressions about the country.
Several important milestones have further consolidated the bilateral relations. We can start, first of all, by the firm U.S. statement in preserving the peace and security in Kuwait in 1991, and this the Kuwaiti population will never forget. Today, the Secretary of State Pompeo is our guest, our visitor, and is presiding over the U.S. delegation in the third round of Strategic Dialogue between the U.S. and Kuwait. Twenty-three government officials, seventy officials and experts from both countries will take part in this meeting. The expert – and they will delve in several important issues such as security, defense, economy, education, customs, and civil aviation. And I would like to underline that both officials – officials from both countries have already worked on these issues and will continue working on these issues nonstop.
We have already held several bilateral discussions to talk about the latest and most important developments on the regional and international scales, and with regards to the Gulf crisis, we value the efforts exerted by the U.S. delegation in solving this crisis. This initiative is of course supported by His Highness Amir of the country, may God protect him.
The Yemeni crisis was also discussed by both delegations, and both parties have underlined the importance of finding a solution to this crisis based on the Gulf initiative, the implementation mechanisms, the outputs of national dialogue, and the Security Council Resolution 2216. We have also delved into the Syrian crisis and the humanitarian tragedy that the Syrian population is going through. And we both agreed on the necessity to uphold peace and security in this country according to international law and international references.
We also talked about the Iranian-Gulf relations and the efforts exerted by both countries to counter terrorism and to – and we focused as well on the peace process in the Middle East and the importance to step up cooperation and coordination between two countries in the Security Council to solve these issues.
Thank you, and I would like to reiterate my warm welcome to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
I want to repeat what I said a bit earlier too. In November, my country lost a true champion of Kuwait's liberation, President George H.W. Bush. President Bush's leadership in defense of your country reflected America's long-term legacy as a force for good in this region. We were deeply touched by the outpouring of tributes that came from so many Kuwaiti leaders and citizens. Thank you for your sympathies on America's loss.
We used today's Strategic Dialogue, the third of its kind, to make further progress on a range of issues from defense to counterterrorism and security; to enhancement of trade and investment between our two countries; to education, culture, and science; and to the protection of our citizens and our borders. Our defense relationship is particular – of particular importance as Kuwait hosts thousands of U.S. troops and is a powerful partner in combating ISIS, al-Qaida, and other terrorist groups.
And we are substantially intensifying our collaboration to prevent cyber threats – threats not only to our security, but to the prosperity of our people as well. In the face of these dangers and others, the United States remains committed to Kuwait's security too. At the same time, I want to praise Kuwait for taking significant initiative on its own to solve some of the region's most challenging issues, including those in Yemen, in Syria, in Iran, and in Iraq. We coordinate closely with Kuwait as co-members of the UN Security Council on a range of issues all across the spectrum for international peace and security.
The United States greatly appreciates His Highness the Amir's leadership on humanitarian issues in the region, particularly in Syria and in Yemen. Kuwait is showing the kind of leadership President Trump asked of our partners in the region. And as I made clear earlier this year in Cairo and then again in Warsaw, the United States will be an unwavering friend to any nation who has resolved to meet regional challenges head-on. The United States appreciates the extraordinary efforts of His Highness the Amir to facilitate a resolution of the Gulf dispute, and on a separate note, as part of our commitment to help build partnerships in the region, we're encouraging the Government of Iraq to continue to enhance its relationships with Kuwait.
We also used our Strategic Dialogue to work to increase trade and investment. We signed an agreement today that will promote entrepreneurship in small and medium enterprises here in Kuwait. This compact will send a positive signal to potential investors in Kuwait and enhance your country's private sector development as well.
And finally, we had the chance to have a discussion on the long history of cooperation between the United States and Kuwait in the field of education. We announced Department of State programs that will strengthen teaching of English in Kuwait and increase people-to-people exchanges between our two countries. The very impressive group of former students that I met earlier today attests to the value of these programs.
FOREIGN MINISTER AL-SABAH: Ready to take questions?
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yes, of course.
QUESTION: Hello. Thank you, Mr. Minister, for welcoming us. I'm Edward Wong from The New York Times. I have one question for each of the leaders here.
Mr. Minister, I know that one of the big issues between the United States and the Gulf states is the United States' desire to have the Gulf states be supportive of the upcoming peace plan that they will unveil in Israel. So I'd like to ask: What is your take on the status of Jerusalem right now and on the United States position on that? And what would you like to see in the upcoming peace plan on Israel?
And Mr. Secretary, I'd like to ask: What is the United States policy and position on the West Bank and the Golan Heights? Is – are these territories occupied by Israel or are they not occupied by Israel? Thank you.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Sure, I'll go first. To answer your question, there's been no change in U.S. policy with respect to the question that you asked.
FOREIGN MINISTER AL-SABAH: I'll do it in Arabic to the benefit of all you're addressing.
(Via interpreter) The peace plan has long been waited and we believe that our friends and colleagues in the United States of America have what it takes and have the necessary ideas to keep on going with the peace process and elaborate a peace plan that will take into account the situation in the region and all the relevant stakeholders. This issue was discussed with His Excellency Mike Pompeo and we believe that the strong relationship between the United States and several countries will lead to an acceptable ending to all the stakeholders and will lead to reaching a political solution that has been long awaited.
QUESTION: (Via interpreter) Good morning. (Inaudible) magazine. After signing the agreements, I would like to ask a question to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: Every year, several reports are elaborated by the Secretary of State in the United States, and several reports criticize Kuwait. How these – how are these reports elaborated?
I am going to ask this question to both ministers: You were in Qatar lately. What can you tell us about solving the Gulf crisis? Thank you.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Let me – may I proceed? So let me try and answer the second question first, and then I'll come back to the first one.
So we spoke a great deal today about the rift between the Gulf countries. We are all working to find a solution. It's not in the best interests of the region, it's not in the best interests of the world. We need the Gulf countries all working together on the complex set of challenges that face each of them.
As I think I've said repeatedly, the United States is a force for good in the region. We are working to help those countries find a set of common ground. We all have the same set of threats: the threats from al-Qaida and from ISIS, the threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran. And we all are working diligently to find a path forward so that the rift between those countries can be resolved.
You asked a question about the reports. I'm not sure precisely which reports you're referring to. If it's the Human Rights Report that was issued this past week or the week before, each year the State Department prepares a report. It is designed to be a factual report that identifies places where we have concerns about human rights. We do that broadly. We do that for our friends, for our adversaries. It is an attempt for us to document those things that we observe where we hope countries can continue to do better. We – I know we had comments about many countries in this region. In each case, we work alongside, especially countries like Kuwait, to help find paths forward that reduce that risk.
FOREIGN MINISTER AL-SABAH: (Via interpreter) With regards to the Gulf crisis, we value the efforts exerted by the United States to reach a solution, and we value the support provided by the United States to His Highness Amir of Kuwait in seeking to find a solution to this crisis. We believe that these efforts will continue to be exerted because there is no alternative. This is the only option. Thank you so much.

Making a Difference with Our Kids in the Tennis Community!
The Chicago Tennis Patrons provides kids in the greater Chicago area, regardless of income, race, gender or ability, an opportunity to learn the game of tennis while gaining values, building friendships and developing a desire for an active lifestyle. Our primary focus is to make a difference with our juniors in the tennis community by reaching out to those who may not otherwise experience the game of tennis.
The Patrons encourage participation at all levels of tennis by awarding grants and scholarships, and place a very special emphasis upon the National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) which presents entry level and grass roots tennis to boys and girls of the city and surrounding areas.


This vigorous new yellow miniature hosta is the perfect size for troughs and the ever popular fairy gardens. Short and narrow leaves hold their bright yellow color all season long. Since the leaves are so narrow, there is not a prominent leaf base, and the leaves simply taper to become part of the petiole. Lavender flowers appear above the petite habit in midsummer. Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today's gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.

I, too, saw cables on the downgrade where traffic coming out of Bremerton meets the remaining lane of southbound traffic on Highway 3, though I thought there were only three.
I can't be sure Ed and I are talking about the same spot in that interchange. There were cables across the through lanes and one on the off-ramp to go into Bremerton, too.
I wondered if the state was comparing traffic counts coming out of Bremerton and on Highway 3 coming south, a notorious backup scene on weekday afternoons. They've said no to suggestions about revising the alignment there in the past, but I wondered if they were rethinking.
The out basket: No, says Steve Bennett, traffic operations engineer for the Olympic Region of state highways. The tubes are counting traffic in preparation for reinforcement safety work on the rocky cliffs near Windy Point between there and Gorst the summer of 2011. The work, to include rock bolting and installment of mesh screens, will require lane closures.
As for why there are different numbers of tubes stretched across the traffic lanes in these counts, Steve says, "We use two tubes (near one another) on highways, typically, for two reasons.
"The first is when we have two lanes going the same direction, as we do on (Highway) 3, and we want individual lane counts.
"The first tube stretches across both lanes while the second stretches across just the near lane. From this, the tube that crosses both lanes gives us the total count for the highway and the other tube gives us the count for the near lane, thus enabling us to know the counts for each lane.
"It is done this way to minimize the amount of time personnel have to work in the middle of the highway.
"The second reason there may be two tubes on a roadway is redundancy," he said. "On high speed/high volume roadways, tubes tend to become damaged and/or non-working at a higher rate than on lower speed/lower volume roads.
He also said there are only two tubes on that downgrade where Highway 304 joins Highway 3. That certainly was true on Feb. 23 when I went back and looked. Either I was mistaken in what I thought I saw earlier or it was changed. Since then, both tunes for southbound Highway 304 have been moved back closer to Bremerton.
When I asked if multiple cables also can record vehicle speeds and the number of axles, Steve said yes.
And when I asked why there are two tubes on the downgrade, but only one on the corresponding off-ramp on the other side of the highway, for traffic heading into Bremerton, it turns out there is one more reason for variety in the number of tubes deployed.
After putting out the tubes on the on-ramp and the mainline in both directions, Steve said, they only had one left.
What's eating at Silverdale Way near Carlton Street?
The in basket: Larry Guidici writes, "I drive through Silverdale regularly. What is going on under the surface of Silverdale Way adjacent to the tractor store?
The out basket: The roughness resulted from a water main break on Nov. 7, says Eric Pickard of the Silverdale Water District.
Since then, the water district has been making intermittent repairs when the surface gets too bad, as directed by Kitsap County, Eric says. The patch that stretches across the road near Carlton Street, done Feb. 10, was the most recent work.
They will permanently repair it next summer. They will be replacing a number of water mains installed in the 1940s between Anderson Hill Road and Lowell Street, then give about 70 feet of Silverdale Way a finished paving across all four or five lanes. Eric says he expects that to happen in June or July.
Incidentally, the water main break could have done a lot more damage had not water district Maintenance Manager Tim Knapp happened past the spot just after water from the break surfaced that Saturday night and called in repair crews immediately. A major sink hole might have developed had the problem gone unnoticed for a couple hours, Eric said.
The in basket: Dennis Van Ieperen, one of those who crosses Burwell Street many days on his way to work at Naval Base Bremerton said the next intersection east of State Street, where a traffic signal has just been installed for pedestrian safety, needs some revisions.
A Navy person was hit and badly hurt there this winter, he noted. It's the Chester Avenue intersection.
Visibility of pedestrians is reduced there by a tree and shrubbery that fill what is called a bulb-out, a widening of the sidewalk that lessens the distance to cross the street, he said. Worsening the situation is the position of the street light right above the tree and the fact the pedestrian warning sign on that side of Burwell is farther back from the street edge that its counterpart for westbound traffic.
"You are supposed to detect a pedestrian in the dark behind the bushes and that tree," he said. "Why is it still there?".
that can be seen from a reasonable distance.
Colen included the accompanying photo to support his position.
The in basket: Rod DeGuzman of Silverdale asks, "Can you please explain to me while the speed limit in Auto Center Way is posted at 25 mph (and not) 35 mph since this street looks like a commercial zone vice a residential road.
The out basket: The lower speed limit on Bremerton's Auto Center Way has never seemed odd to me, given all its hills and curves, including the combination of both where a lot of not yet licensed drivers come and go from the state Department of Licensing office.
Ridgetop Boulevard, a county road, has a wide median to separate directions of travel and has better sight distances.
The in basket: Rob Shafer of Port Orchard says in an e-mail, "In the past six months there have been three serious accidents, with at least one fatality, on Southworth Drive between Locker Road and Banner Road southeast of Port Orchard.
"There is a slight turn to the left as you approach Curley Creek after Locker Road that all three drivers involved in the accidents missed," he said. "At this point in the road there is very little shoulder and a BIG hole that either stops the car very quickly, or launches it back onto the road.
The out basket: It looked to me that just filling the hole would correct whatever hazard exists. But the county plans more.
Jeff Shea, county transportation engineer, says, "A guard rail in itself can be an obstacle near the roadway and is usually a last resort used to protect motorists from other roadside obstacles.
That's not the only work planned there, incidentally. The county has plans for a $2.1 million replacement of the bridge over Curley Creek just a few feet east of there next year, though the work isn't likely to reach to the spot Ron mentions.

BofA Mortgage Settlement Could Hit $17 Billion
By Elliot Golan
Bank of America is close to reaching a record $16 billion to $17 billion settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over toxic mortgages issued by its Countrywide Financial unit and other mortgage lenders it acquired.
The bank has reportedly agreed to pay out some $9 billion of the settlement in cash to the U.S. government, as well as states and others, according to various media reports. The remainder of the money would be set aside for helping out homeowners who have yet to recover from the housing crash.
Countrywide, a leading lender during the housing boom, originated or bought about $1.4 trillion in mortgages between 2005 and 2007. Bank of America acquired the Calabasas firm in 2008.
The settlement comes as the federal government has sought to crack down on banks that performed irresponsibly leading up to the financial meltdown of 2008. They are accused of issuing mortgages that borrowers were unable to pay, and then selling the loans in securitized packages to investors. If the deal is finalized, it would represent the largest settlement ever reached between the government and a company, topping the $13 billion deal between the U.S. and J.P. Morgan Chase late last year.
The majority of the loans in question were from Countrywide, while Merrill Lynch and First Franklin Financial Group, both also now Bank of America subsidiaries, are also involved.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in New York levied a $1.3 billion judgment against the Charlotte, N.C. bank, stemming from an October decision that found the bank liable for loans sold by Countrywide prior to its acquisition.
At the center of that decision was the Countrywide program known in the industry as "The Hustle," which focused on incentivizing mortgage loan officers to churn out mortgages quickly, not really considering the mortgage holders' ability to repay the loans.
The fine was based on the amount of losses incurred by investors in the loans, including government-sponsored mortgage operations Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Including a previous settlement with Fannie and Freddie of nearly $6 billion, the total tab for Bank of America could add up to more than $24 billion.
Shares fell 8 cents, or a fraction of 1 percent, to $15.12 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The District and City have done a great job of sharing services, where it makes good financial sense, such as our North Vancouver Recreation Commission and North Shore Emergency Management. And, I believe there is more we can do. Do we really need two fire departments and two library boards? And, as housing and traffic pressures mount in our region, I think there are obvious advantages to having a unified North Vancouver as we work with other levels of government towards solutions.
We currently do not have cooperation from the City of North Vancouver to explore reunification. I support the District's initiative to survey both District and City residents for their feelings on the matter. If citizens of both municipalities want the issue of reunification explored further, then I think it is incumbent on the City to come to the table.
I do support the notion of forming an advisory committee to look at the issue on an ongoing basis (rather than it just being an issue at every election cycle). I would also like to see Council direct DNV staff to look at every area of the organization where we could be sharing information with our neighbouring municipality better, to benefit both municipalities (example: transportation planning, development, etc) and identify the best framework for this type of information sharing.

Fan experience is illuminated at award-winning baseball park
Everything about the Las Vegas Ballpark was designed with local fans in mind. Home to the Las Vegas Aviators, the city's Triple-A team, it checks every box – and then some. Amenities include comfortable mesh seats, reservable party decks and suites, an outfield swimming pool and splashpad, and the biggest scoreboard in minor league baseball. Even parking is free.
It's not surprising it was named the 2019 MiLB Triple-A Best of the Ballparks by Ballpark Digest.
One of the outstanding features of Summerlin's 10,000-seat park is the 360-degree concourse that wraps around the playing field. It offers end-to-end walkability so fans can watch the action from every angle of the park. But the concourse also encourages fan interaction with portable concession stands and seating areas.
The outfield concourse areas are open-air, so selecting the appropriate lighting for these public spaces, particularly for evening games, was a key consideration.
Owners of the stadium collaborated with OCS Lighting & Control to select Luminis' Eclipse EC870 pole-mounted fixtures to illuminate the outdoor concourse areas. Luminis was able to meet the tight deadlines imposed by the project, providing attractive, modern luminaires that complement the sleek aesthetics of the park.
Eclipse's unique design utilizes indirect lighting on a post top LED luminaire. Light is directed upwards to an aluminum reflector disc painted in white enamel, and then re-directed to the ground below. The glare-free illumination, with outstanding light levels and uniformity, ensures enhanced visibility and security for ballpark guests.
OCS Lighting & Control chose a 3000K temperature for the luminaires. Whether fans are grabbing a hot dog, chatting with friends, watching the game, or simply passing through the concourse on the way to their seats, they are treated to a warm, comfortable illumination that offers safe passage and does not compete with the on-field lighting.
Eclipse EC870 is made of a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy to ensure it stands up to the desert sun and sand over the long term. Its LED light source delivers significant advantages in lighting efficiency and energy saving, with a lifetime beyond 140,000 hours. Ballpark staff will appreciate the low-maintenance fixtures from season to season.
The Las Vegas Ballpark is energizing downtown Summerlin, and with the right combination of fan amenities, lighting and great baseball, it has surpassed owners' expectations as a social gathering point for the community.

Morse code is used in telecommunication; it is a method of transmitting and receiving coded information. Each character (letter or numeral) is coded/represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. Compared to voice, Morse code is less sensitive to poor signal conditions, yet still comprehensible to humans without a decoding device, therefore, a useful alternative to synthesized speech for sending automated data to skilled listeners (radio operator) on a voice channel.
The project's first part is composed of an electret microphone followed by a common emitter follower amplifier; this transistor amplifier also acts as a first level bandpass filter. Its band edges are determined by the size of the coupling capacitors, and the feedback capacitor between the transistor's base and collector terminals. The next part of the project is the PLL (phase lock loop) tone detector/decoder NE567; its output is a one-zero pattern replicating the dots-and-dashes sequence of the received signal. This output drives both an input to the PIC16F84 microcontroller and an LED that is used as a receiver tuning aid.
Another part is the PIC16F84 microcontroller, its function is to measure the duration of the one-zero input string from the tone decoder, and translate the pattern into DOTs, DASHs, symbol spaces, character spaces, or word spaces. Each of the symbols that are received, an equivalent "code word" is assembled and is convert to its ASCII equivalent character for display. And for the final part, the CPU interfaces to the LCD line display, sending ASCII characters to it and monitoring LCD status.
I published a quite similar Morse decoder design in the October 1976 issue of BYTE magazine using a 567 and a Motorola 6800 processor. I'm very curious to see the micro controller code for this project!
A PIC project without a code? And the transistor?

SEB Dismasted
Between 0630 GMT and 0640 GMT this morning, SEB lost her carbon mast after it broke just above the boom
Between 0630 GMT and 0640 GMT this morning, SEB lost her carbon mast after it broke just above the boom. The crew had to cut the rig free and abandon it, but they managed to keep the boom which was broken and a spinnaker boom, also broken. The crew is safe and the boat is not damaged; a primitive jury-rig has been erected and SEB is heading for the nearest port. It all happened in a 28-knot breeze whilst running at 17 knots of boat speed, approximately 1,250 miles from Cape Horn at approximately 58.12S 106.47W.
In a message from the boat, skipper Gurra Krantz wrote: We will await day light to check that nothing is caught on the prop and then start the engine.
Speaking from Sweden, Pelle Norberg, Managing Director for the syndicate company within Team SEB said:
"This is of course a very sad situation for us, but the most important thing in a situation like this, is that the crew and boat are safe. The crew now plan to continue sailing under jury-rig to the closest available port in South America to conduct repairs."
SEB, racing on the fourth leg of the Volvo Ocean Race is presently in the Southern Ocean, en route for Cape Horn on the southern tip of South America, is currently in sixth position overall in the race. The other yachts continue racing. Amer Sports Too is the only yacht west of SEB and could be diverted in case assistance is needed.


In Jeffrey Schwartz's book The Mind and the Brain, he points out just how constantly adaptable the human brain is. Research has shown that this adaptability or plasticity continues throughout our lives. The brain is constantly retraining and rearranging itself in response to different stimuli. He describes clinical examples of how people can use mindfulness to will their brain to change its neural circuits. This is mind over matter, or since the brain is matter, maybe it is mind over mind or matter over matter!! I am not a scientist, obviously, just curious.
Schwartz shows from actual clinical experiments how people who have some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can in certain circumstance train themselves away from that behaviour. In so doing they actually alter the metabolism of the OCD circuit in the brain. I remember as a child that my father could wiggle his ears and I could not. However, by spending a lot of time willing my ears to move, they eventually did. Mindfulness therapy at work!
Schwartz talks about "mindfulness-based cognitive therapy" and a four step treatment process. The four steps are Relabel, Reattribute,Refocus and Revalue. It begins with the patient not blaming him or herself for the disorder but recognizing that it is a function of the brain circuitry sending some faulty messages. By accepting that the circuitry was playing tricks, the patient was better able to resist the irrational obsessive impulses when they arose.s. If language learners are constantly discouraged because of their inability to express things correctly in a new language, or their inability to remember words when they need them, or to pronounce properly , or the fact that they freeze when they have to speak to a native speaker, this discosuragement is only building up tension and making learning more and more difficult.
Relabel by recognizing that the learning process is one of training the language fitness of the brain, rather than some hopeless struggle against a perceived inability to learn languages.
Reattribute by recognizing the need to develop new brain circuitry, taking advantage of the fact that the brain is known to be plastic throughout one's adult life. Until the circuitry develops it is pointless to be disappointed at mistakes or less than perfect pronunciation or communication in the new language.
Refocus, away from a vain attempt to master the rules of grammar, or lists of words which one will inevitably forget. Instead focus on systematic and repetitive training based on meaningful content. Recognize that consistent effort will bring gradual improvement in the new language even if it seems that so much is contantly forgotten.
Revalue by enjoying whatever level of communication in the new language one is able to achieve. Look for enjoyable content and experiences in the new language. Make learning and using the language part of one continuum, where constant improvement and not perfection is the goal.

"La Grande Dégustation de Montréal" brings together 43 Portuguese producers
Wines of Portugal | 31 October '19
Portugal is recognized in Montréal's most important wine and spirits show
Portugal is the host country this year in "La Grande Dégustation de Montréal", one of Canada's most important wine and spirits shows. ViniPortugal brings together 43 Portuguese producers, the largest delegation ever from a host country in this event. This is a great opportunity to contact with more than 13,000 professionals of the sector who will attend the event from 31 October to 2 November.
Canada is a strategic market for ViniPortugal. In addition to joining markets such as Quebec and Ontario, the association aims to bring the brand "Wines of Portugal" to new provinces of the country.
As host country, Portugal will be featured throughout this fair's program, with seminars and tasting sessions to create knowledge about Portuguese wines. "Sorting out your feelings battus / les traditions devenues tendance"; "Cépage autochtones portugais" (Portuguese native grape varieties); "Vieilles vignes du Portugal" (Old Vineyards of Portugal); and "Touriga Nacional - Les différents aspects du cépage portugais" (Touriga Nacional - the different aspects of the Portuguese varietal) are some of the sessions that will be held during the event.
The event is organized by A3 Québec, an association of more than 60 private wine and spirits agents representing over 95% of producers sold through SAQ network. This is an excellent opportunity for Portuguese producers to contact with a large number of trade professionals and final consumers, to make known their portfolio and to create business opportunities duringt an important event in the city of Montréal.
La Grande Dégustation de Montréal is a well-known trade fair attended by a total of 200 wine, beer and spirits producers from different parts of the world. During the three days of the event, professionals, connoisseurs and fans of these product categories have direct contact with the producers.
Canada is part on the top-10 of the main Portuguese wine destination markets, comprising France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Angola and Switzerland.

What next for Canadian Boat to Gaza?: Video interview with Ehab Lotoyef
An international coalition again failed in its attempt to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. But what were its real objectives? Was it just to bring humanitarian supplies? Or do something else? Did it succeed? Will the organizers try again? We interviewed Ehab Lotoyef, one of the principal organizers of the Canadian Boat to Gaza to get his views. See his interview below.
Four Canadians were among those who participated in Freedom Flotilla III, an attempt to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza last June. The Canadian Boat to Gaza group was part of the international Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), a solidarity movement composed of groups from all over the world working together to end the siege of Gaza. It was formed after the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010 when Israeli special forces killed several people trying to bring aid to Gaza.
But Freedom Flotilla III was also stopped by the Israeli navy. Two of the Canadians, Robert Lovelace and Kevin Neish were arrested when the Israeli navy boarded the Mariana on the high seas on June 29th. Two others, Ehab Lotoyef, a Montreal engineer and Christian Martel a retired trade union leader, who were on accompanying boats, were forced to turn back.
While Freedom Flotilla III did not succeed in its stated mission of bringing much needed humanitarian supplies to Gaza, that was only part of its objective, according to Ehab Lotoyef, "We are proud of everyone who participated in Free Gaza III."

Excellent Peter,
At the same time, I'm sorry that I couldn't be part of the conversation, and be part of this conversation for this hangout on Air, because I've just opened my lap top, and read about this hangout.
I went to GAZA four years ago,
the Gazan people, their miserable situation and miserable life they are living in, can't be described !.
Gaza is a big prison, without any of the life CONSTITUENTS!!
I hope that you interview one of the official conservatives in our Canadian Government, to let the CANADIANS know about their reply -as Canada is a democratic Country, and believes and backs the Human Rights for every one- including the People of Gaza, or may be you can say "excluding the Palestinians in Gaza"!!
Thanks for this Peter. I couldn't listen to the interview as there isn't any audio of the computer from where I am making contact
I can't imagine negotiating with Israel since the current leadership seems determined to pursue a couorse of action that never worked in the past and increases the llikelihood of greater crises in the future.

Reblogged this on The Last Tycoon and commented:
How can one sign up to or sign on aboard as a crew member to join Freedom Flotilla from Europe. When is the next trip because we need to step up the number and frequency of voyages made until Israel gives in on this issue.

Is this why Boris, David and Jacob want to end the primacy of EU laws in the UK?
Brexit is the greatest tax avoidance scam ever perpetrated in Great Britain!

About Nolan Jazimreg
Nolan Jazimreg is the London-based author of The (In)Convenient Truth About The World You Live In, a highly controversial political satire that reveals profound insights into how hatred infiltrates us and oppresses our adeptness to live a contented life.
Jazimreg was born to an award-winning TV journalist mother, whereas his father worked as a Professor of Psychology at the local University.
Jazimreg spent his childhood in a communist system, his teenage years in a socialist one, and his adult life in capitalism.
Jazimreg belonged to an ethnic minority, and during his teenage years, he experienced harsh discrimination by his state.
During his teenage years, the state-sponsored human rights violations increased and prompted a civil war, at which point, Jazimreg fled his country to become a refugee in London.
Similar to his writing featured on this blog, which leaves little room for doubts, Jazimreg hopes that his lousy and bold writing style will enlighten its readers with exciting insights on human nature, God, heaven and hell.
Jazimreg's first novel, which chronicles the United Nations' endeavour to unite humankind, is currently seeking a representation from a daring literary agent or publisher concerned about how our social and political environment is evolving. Completed in 65,000 words, The (In)Convenient Truth About The World You Live In is a satirical spiritual fiction longing to be published and placed on bookstore shelves alongside Herman Hesse's Siddhartha.
To avert the imminent nuclear war between Russia and the United States, propelled by their urge to control the world's largest gas reserves in the Persian Gulf, the United Nations adopts the Convention on the Secret of Divine Civilisation. This convention aims to unite humankind through an inspiring and unifying new world constitution developed by ISA IRI, which the UN member states could adopt through national referendums. However, this benevolent global effort becomes a devastating initiative, threatening the UN's future existence when Isa's fictitious country immerses in an ethnic war, and his Christian Orthodox father leaves his Muslim mother. At this stage, Isa, unaware that his entire life is being broadcasted to a worldwide audience 24/7, suffers a nervous breakdown, whereby he publicly condemns God, religions, and the human race. To preserve his sanity and public reputation, UN broadcast producers section Isa to a mental institution. During his hospital detention, Isa falls in love with Judith, his Jewish psychiatrist, and experiences an enlightening bipolar setback, whereby he reveals profound insights on how hatred infiltrates us and oppresses our adeptness to be happy. Ultimately, Isa drafts his constitution based on laws of nature and discloses conclusive evidence of God's existence, but will it be sufficient to unite humankind or avert a nuclear war?
Jazimreg is a forty-nine-year-old bipolar British architect, husband, and father to three wonderful children. Although this is his first attempt at writing a novel, three journals have published his research on contemporary architecture and memorials. Over 300,000 people who have read Jazimreg's Brexit insights featured on this blog, swaying the general perception of why prominent Brexiteers campaigned for the UK to leave the EU. Considering the impact this blog had on the British public, Jazimreg remains confident that the four satirical novels he intends to write over the coming years will also alter readers' understanding of happiness, freedom, democracy, God, religion, heaven, and hell.

However, nothing meaningful will come out of a novel that nobody knows about, which is why your support is crucial, either by posting your reviews of this novel or making others aware of its existence, and I'm eternally grateful to you for doing precisely that.
