Split leans heavily on this type of invasive close-up even outside of its primary basement environment. Image courtesy Universal Pictures.
Split is a sharp, tight movie about a trapped girl and her insane captor, except when it isn't.
The movie starts with social outcast Casey Cook (Anya Taylor-Joy) forced to ride home with two of her much more well-adjusted classmates, Claire Benoit (Haley Lu Richardson) and Marcia (Jessica Sula). The three are kidnapped by Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), who suffers from dissociative identity disorder and who's body is inhabited by more than 20 different people. From Crumb's several identities, the girls learn they must escape his underground lair before being sacrificed to a final, cannibalistic personality known only as "The Beast." Also, Crumb sees a psychologist, Karen Fletcher (Betty Buckley), and the movie halts all its momentum at several points so we can get her two cents.
It seems like every year there's a long list of movies that are such bad ideas on paper you have to wonder why they were ever greenlit in the first place. Split is the opposite of those movies. You take writer/director/producer M. Night Shyamalan, an extremely competent director if a questionable storyteller, and give him two fantastic actors in McAvoy and Taylor-Joy. They're locked in a basement, and one of them is nuts. It's tough to mess up that great of a recipe, and Split delivers on its promise.
Shyamalan has always been a fan of long takes, and in Split, he focuses on extreme close-ups, often cutting off the top of his actors' heads. It's the perfect environment to showcase talented actors, and that's just what this movie does.
High-level actors' methods of getting into character vary greatly, and Crumb is a role that calls for an actor who can do it well, quickly and frequently. The role demands creating and inhabiting almost a dozen characters in quick succession, all of whom must be distinctive enough that the audience can differentiate them despite their similar appearance and charismatic enough to hold the screen. McAvoy shines as one of a small handful of actors fundamentally strong enough to deliver here. Viewers are never made to wonder which side of Crumb they're dealing with and never bored with any of them.
Taylor-Joy broke through almost a year ago now as the lead in Sundance horror hit The Witch. She isn't yet drinking age, but she's already demonstrated a mastery over expression work and building a character with minimal dialogue.
Then, too frequently, the scene will shift to Fletcher, and she'll deliver a short seminar on Crumb's condition. Her several scenes with Crumb are just fine and service the story, but her other scenes are worthless. The boring, minutes-long segments in which she expounds on DID — or at least, the movie's version of it — and speculates wildly in the exact, highly unlikely direction the plot is headed add nothing to the film and should have been cut.
Split is a movie with a lot on its mind about predation and the difference between being a victim and being a survivor. It's good for a movie to tackle big concepts, but some of its conclusions are highly problematic.
Split's interpretation of DID is mostly accurate — it's based on real phenomena people with DID display, and the exaggerations are well within acceptable movie boundaries. That said, it does essentially elevate the disorder to a superpower. It's not quite romanticized, as Crumb clearly suffers from his condition, but this is still a morally treacherous way to portray mental illness.
More broadly, Split makes the express point of turning childhood trauma into an empowering thing. Crumb and Cook were both raised by abusive parents. Crumb's abuse triggered his DID, which makes him bulletproof by the end of the movie, and the movie says in as many words that Cook's past trauma is what gives her the strength to fight him. This is romanticized, and that's a problem.
When it's not cutting to a useless character, glorifying parental abuse and resultant psychological conditions or trying to establish the M. Night Shyamalan Cinematic Universe, Split is a fun, tense, well-shot and well-acted movie. Enjoy for the most part, and check your phone whenever Fletcher pops up.

New York — Armed groups in the Central African Republic have used rape and sexual slavery as a tactic of war across the country during nearly five years of conflict, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.

Only 11 of the survivors interviewed said they had tried to initiate a criminal investigation.
Those who had informed authorities faced mistreatment including victim-blaming, failure to investigate, and even demands to present their attackers for arrest. Three survivors said that their relatives had been killed, beaten, or threatened with death when they confronted members of an armed group responsible for their rapes. The report names six individuals in leadership positions of an armed group whom three or more survivors identified as having committed sexual violence, or as having had fighters under their command and control who committed the crime.

Having completed my master's degree in public health for biostatistics and bachelor's degree in biology, I am currently working in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New York City, NY as a forensic biology. When I am not in the lab, I enjoy encouraging the next generation of scientists by offering guidance and assistance in mastering topics in biology, chemistry, and more. I have significant experience in tutoring students in several different subjects as well as for standardized testing. I find working with students incredibly rewarding and love the moments where students surprise themselves with their own abilities.

NFLBy Ian Casselberry on December 24, 2020 December 24, 2020
As if the Detroit Lions didn't already have a difficult enough task matched up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Week 16, the team will play without head coach Darrell Bevell and four defensive assistants, including defensive coordinator Cory Undlin on Saturday.
Bevell was among the close contacts to a COVID-19 positive on the Detroit coaching staff. As mentioned by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Bevell is now the first NFL head coach to miss a game due to COVID-19 protocols. Defensive line coach Bo Davis, defensive backs coach Steve Gregory, and linebackers coach Ty McKenzie will also miss Saturday's game.
As a result, wide receivers coach Robert Prince will take over head-coaching duties for the Lions against the Bucs. Prince, 55, has been with Detroit since 2014, originally part of Jim Caldwell's staff.
Prior to coaching with the Lions, Prince was the offensive coordinator at Boise State and passing game coordinator at Colorado. He also has experience as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, and then-San Diego Chargers.

Other changes on the Detroit sideline include quarterback coach Sean Ryan calling offensive plays while Evan Rothstein (head coach assistant/research & analysis) makes the calls for the defense. Defensive assistant Tony Carter will coach defensive backs, while David Corrao (director of football research) coaches linebackers, and Ty Warren (minority coaching assistant) will oversee the defensive line.
Those assistants will be thrown right into the deep end of the swimming pool, facing Tom Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski, and the rest of Tampa Bay's explosive, star-laden offense.
According to the Detroit News's Justin Rogers, the Lions had one coach and one practice squad player test positive on Monday. As one of the coaches working at the team facility, Bevell was considered a high-risk close contact. And with Detroit's game scheduled for Saturday, he will still be in quarantine.
Since the Lions can still field a full team against Tampa Bay, postponing the game until Sunday or Monday apparently wasn't a consideration. Would the situation have been different if Detroit was in playoff contention? Bevell wouldn't address that possibility. At least Detroit won't have to play a practice squad receiver at quarterback, as the Denver Broncos did in Week 12.
The Lions and Buccaneers play at 1 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 26) with the telecast exclusively on NFL Network. Adam Amin calls play-by-play with analyst Mark Schlereth and Lindsay Czarniak reporting.

CITV Memories – Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers.
Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers (1989-1990)
As I have said before, I wasn't as big a fan of the cartoons produced by Disney as I am of others, but there are a few that I liked, including Duck Tales and Tale Spin, and this is one of them that often filled an afternoon during CITV in the early-90s. Chip 'N' Dale are a pair of animated chipmunk brothers who appeared in their first cartoon as long ago as 1943. It seems that over five decades later it was decided that it was time to give them their own show.
Now of course you can never have enough cartoons about chipmunks and their high-pitched voices, but I'm fairly sure that this pair were no relation to Alvin. Their new show contained plenty of action and adventure, because Chip 'N' Dale were now detectives, and they lived in a tree where they ran an agency called Rescue Rangers. No job was too big for them… or too small.
Chip wore a fedora and bomber jacket and was the more serious of the pair. Dale wore a shirt similar to Quagmire's in Family Guy, liked chocolate and was much sillier. They were often accompanied by Monterey Jack, a red-haired mouse with a big moustache, and he would eat any type of cheese that he could get his hands on, however troublesome it was (and he also had a rather bizarre accent, it was supposed to be Australian). His friend was Zipper the fly.
There was also Gadget Hackwrench, a young blonde female mouse who was an inventor. It seems that both Chip 'N' Dale might've been rather fond of her as they would come over rather shy and embarrassed when having to help her. They would all travel around the world in their plane, hoping to solve mysteries and come to the rescue, and they usually helped out various talking animals.
There were also a few regular villains. They were Fat Cat and scientist Norton Nimnul, and they would often have a lot of run-ins with our team. Would they always track down the right clues and save the day though? You can probably guess the answer to that one. There were 65 episodes of Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers in three series, and some stories were played out over five episodes.
As well as being shown on CITV (along with various other channels), as always, there was plenty of merchandise, including some computer games, tapes, and comics. And then, about three decades on from this, Chip 'N' Dale returned once again for more stories that were closer in style to the original run of cartoons called Nutty Tales, where this time they were computer-animated.

Sundarbans in West Bengal has become popular for increased tiger sightings. However, the sighting of lesser cats, like the Leopard Cat and the Fishing Cat, still remains rare due to their nocturnal habits. In fact, the latter is one of the least seen mammals in Indian Sundarbans.
The GIB does not differentiate between a photographer and a poacher and treats them both as a serious threat. So, even approaching the bird for benign purposes such as wanting to take a picture can pose a serious threat to these birds, whose number has plummeted below 200 in India.
A rapid assessment study of the grasslands of Hesaraghatta, outside Bangalore, shows that unregulated and excessive vehicular movement of bird photographers is creating permanent vehicle tracks, causing significant disturbance to the feeding and foraging activities of birds, imposing severe stress on the local birdlife, as well as damaging the ecosystem for some rare butterflies.
On November 4th, 2010, a friend and I were on our way through Mysore to a resort near Nagarahole. We were not expecting to see any interesting wildlife on the way, but we were amazed when we suddenly spotted this Rusty Spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) near Karapura. We took a record image. These cats are thought to be rare, although new information suggests that they may actually be more common than assumed.
On the occasion of World Tourism Day, the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), and Sanctuary Asia are pleased to invite you to preview the winning entries of the Wild Maharashtra Photography Contest.

Q: Disable background color when using Alt-Tab in XFCE I am using XFCE with Numix theme and when I press alt-tab, I get that ugly red background, during the alt-tab presses. That red is very disturbing to the eyes. Yes, I can change it with another theme, but the background remains.
How can I disable that background?
Here is a small gif, thanks.

A: "Window manager tweaks" -> "Draw frame around selected window while cycling" = false

I could swear there used to be a setting that displayed only the border and not the background, but I can't find it now.

This story is about the Ladue Students who went on the Leadership Empower workshop on November 20, 2017. The workshop was held at Maryville University. I recorded all of my BRoll on the day of the workshop. I recorded my student interviews at the High School. The student examples provided really helped me to complete this project because it helped me know when to add voiceovers. Additionally, I didn't do much research but I did a little bit to find a backstory on the Megan Meier Foundation. The Megan Meier foundations mission is "To support and inspire actions to end bullying, cyberbullying, and suicide." The foundation was made on behalf of Megan Meier who committed suicide because of cyberbullying. To complete my project I didn't use a storyboard.

Chick Flick Picks: Summer Non-Blockbusters
By Shelby
Forget football in the fall or baseball in the spring. The best action can pretty much always be found during summer movie season. While not all summer movie seasons are equal (I'd argue that 2008's summer lineup of WALL-E, The Dark Knight and Iron Man is the best we've had in a while), there are a few things we've learned to expect from our annual three-month-plus run of blockbusters—spectacle, bombast, thrills and action. And increasingly, for better or worse, franchises and/or comic book movies. Whereas last summer that meant the fun of The Avengers and the finality of The Dark Knight Rises, this year we've been dealt the unnecessary Iron Man 3 and the surprisingly boring Man of Steel. I'd argue that so far the only 2013 summer blockbuster worth its admission price has been Star Trek Into Darkness. So why not give the multiplex a break and check out some of the non-blockbusters you'll find on tap at the Violet Crown, Regal Arbor or the Alamo Drafthouses. (Before Midnight is not included below because I wrote about it during SXSW, but if you haven't seen this charming and affecting meditation on long-term relationships yet, check it out on the big screen at one of these theaters.)
Mud: isn't just the best movie you'll see this summer; it might be the best movie you'll see all year. From former Austinite Jeff Nichols, the auteur behind Shotgun Stories and Take Shelter, comes this deceptively simple story of two Arkansas boys who find a boat in a tree and then meet the man who lives in it. What unfolds is a coming-of-age story as the teen protagonists learn about love, truth, friendship and family. Before you roll your eyes at the idea of watching kid actors for two hours, let me assure you that the two young actors who play Ellis and Neckbone are impressively natural and unaffected. And after this and last year's Killer Joe, Matthew McConaughey, as the titular Mud, has started delivering work so powerful and unglamorous that you can almost pretend his last decade of crappy rom-coms didn't happen. Mud also stars Sam Shepherd, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Paulson, Ray McKinnon and (because this is Jeff Nichols) the wonderful Michael Shannon.
Much Ado About Nothing: It makes me tired to even think about calculating the number of hours I waited in line for this film's three screenings during SXSW only to strike out all three times, so of course I bought a ticket to see it when it finally opened theatrically in Austin. And by my throth, I now can swear that Joss Whedon's lo-fi Much Ado About Nothing was well worth the wait. Famously shot in Whedon's home just after he finished work on The Avengers, this adaptation of the Shakespeare classic keeps the Bard's language intact but updates the setting and costumes to create a modern noir look (with a healthy dose of '30s screwball comedy) that complements this story of sex, intrigue, scheming and banter. As much as I love Kenneth Branagh's 1993 adaption, it's such heady fun to watch a full cast of Whedon regulars (Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Fran Kranz, Clark Gregg, Reed Diamond, Sean Maher, Tom Lenk and Nathan Fillion) seemingly drink their way through Shakespeare's best romantic comedy that you'll likely feel a bit tipsy yourself.
Frances Ha: I'll admit it: I went into Frances Ha completely prepared to be throttled by tweeness and quirk. Writer/director Noah Baumbach's debut, Kicking and Screaming, is one of my favorite 1990s movies, but I've had a hard time connecting with a lot of his other films. So it was with surprise that I found myself sympathizing with Greta Gerwig's Frances as her life unravelled. Her character had just enough self-awareness so that your frustration with her choices as you watched her freefall through her late 20s held firmly toward the endearing side without reaching the obnoxious want-to-slap-her side. Like Much Ado, Frances Ha also was shot in black and white, in what I was worried would be a half-ass homage to Woody Allen's B&W masterpiece Manhattan but actually works really nicely with the movie's DIY aesthetic.
However you feel about writer/director Sofia Coppola's films, it's undeniable that she has a gift for finding the right music to convey the mood of a movie, whether it's Air in The Virgin Suicides, The Jesus and Mary Chain in Lost in Translation or New Order in Marie Antoinette. She taps into that again in her latest film, The Bling Ring, by blaring MIA, Rihanna and Kanye West from the car stereos of the materialistic, bored, celebrity-obsessed teens who perpetrate a string of burglaries in celebrity homes in the Hollywood Hills. Overall, I think the original Vanity Fair article, "The Suspects Wore Louboutins," offers a more compelling look at the so-called Bling Ring, including the in-fighting in the group that began as soon as the arrest warrants and subsequent indictments were handed down. The movie sadly glosses over this, and gloss is in fact what the film does best, from slow-motion shots to shopping montages to the celebrity home interiors (and by the way, that is Paris Hilton's real home that they shot inside). Emma Watson gives all traces of Hermoine the slip with a pitch-perfect LA girl accent, but what sticks with you longest after the movie is the empty entitlement of these kids and the audaciousness of the burglaries.
Now You See Me: Of all these picks, Now You See Me is the only one that seems intentionally positioned as a summer movie. It's far from perfect, but this heist/caper flick that centers on a quartet of magicians (dubbed The Four Horsemen and played by Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco) is relentlessly fun and offers just enough mystery to make it more engaging than the empty setpieces of Fast and Furious 6. Whereas most summer movies feel like they're aimed with laserpoint precision at 13-year-old boys, this felt more like summer movie escapism for adults.
Have you seen any of these picks? What did you think? What other summer movies are you looking forward to?

Bana Jabri, MD, PhD, first became interested in celiac disease during her residency as a pediatrician in France. She was caring for children who suffered from severe intestinal inflammation that no one knew how to treat. Jabri realized that her clinical work was not enough.
Since that time, Jabri has become one of the world's leading researchers of celiac disease. An Associate Professor in the Departments of Medicine, Pathology, and Pediatrics at the University of Chicago Medical Center, she directs the research team at the University's Celiac Disease Center. Under her leadership, the center is at the nexus of extraordinary discovery in blocking the trigger of celiac disease. Characterized by an abnormal reaction to gluten, celiac damages the small intestine. If left untreated, this can lead to severe malabsorption of nutrients and increases the risk of developing autoimmune disorders and cancer. Jabri's most recent breakthrough, published in the March 2011 issue of Nature, brings us one step closer to finding a cure.
Jabri and her team have discovered the critical role that interleukin 15 (IL-15) plays in the immune system when it comes to decision-making made on the cellular level. IL-15 acts as a distress flag when a cell is in danger. IL-15 is present in everyone, but it is not highly expressed unless an individual is fighting bacteria, virus, stress, or inflammation. The human body has developed a failsafe system—to attack its own cells, if need be, in order to eliminate an invader. If it goes too far, however, tissue is lost. IL-15 signals this is happening.
Jabri's groundbreaking study shows that not only does IL-15 serve to deploy the army that invades distressed tissue, it also influences how immune cells differentiate, i.e., what kinds of soldiers they become in the battle against inflammation. If we are able to block IL-15 in humans (as Jabri and team were able to do in their mouse-model study), disease prevention for at-risk patients is on the horizon.
As she learned during her residency, clinical treatment and research must integrate. Today Jabri has expanded that concept at the University's Celiac Disease Center. It's the first center of its kind in the United States where you will find in one place researchers studying celiac in mice and in humans, treating pediatric and adult patients, and training future doctors. These critical intersections—the ability to test new therapeutic strategies in mice while at the same time working with adult and child patients—are what make discoveries on the level of Jabri's possible.

Getting back to the grass roots of Geocaching are the 35mm Film Canisters. These were popular because the were small, watertight and nobody had digital cameras, so were a dime a dozen from when people purchased camera film.
They are also an ideal size for trading Micro Geocoins or other small swag items.


As readers will have realised, the editors travel far and wide in search of beer and pubs to drink it in. We often travel outside Yorkshire to bring you the updates from other parts of the country. It saddens me to write this article but I feel I have no choice.
A little while ago, visitors to Salford were gladdened when Tim Flynn, from the New Oxford there took over a closed pub and renovated it to high standards, with the intention of making it, The Black Lion, a sister pub to the Oxford but with a range of different guest beers, more foreign beer choice and a good food range. The only problem being that, although the New Oxford was free of tie, the Black Lion wasn't and he had to run it under the umbrella of one of the large pub groups. As it became successful, and made more money, they became greedier and wanted a bigger cut. Tim saw no other way that to cut and run, and the Black Lion closed.
I know this is not unique, and many pubs have closed because of similar events but surely a bit of give and take by the pub co would have saved the Lion and we would not be bemoaning our loss.
The same fate has now befallen the Black Horse at Darwen. I don't think many readers will know the pub, and possibly some will not care that a pub in the depths of Lancashire has closed but let me explain why it has got under my, and many other people's skin.
The Black Horse was another run down pub, just a back street local in a back street town,(lets face it, who deliberately goes to Darwen), until it was taken over a few years ago by an enterprising couple of blokes, who saw some potential there. They built up its local trade and then gradually became more adventureous. They started having beer festivals. Soon their festivals became one of the 'must visit' events of the year, attracting enthusiasts from all over. Even I have made the tortureous trek across the hills. We were treated to a superb festival with plenty of new beers, unusual breweries and the pub was on the map. All the pub seemed to pull together to make the festival happen, and the community spirit was self evident. The guys then set about brewing and soon the Graffiti brewery was up and running. More local employment, more choice for the locals and visitors alike.
Then things started to go wrong. The brewery closed, I do not know the reason, but I have my suspicions. And today, I have read that the guys from the Black Horse have called it a day and left. Why ? The greedy pub group has hiked their rent so that it unsustainable to continue and another landmark pub has bitten the dust. It may well be that someone else will take the pub over, but no doubt, it will be a smooth flow,lager joint and the hard work that has been put in to save the place, and bring the community together has all been in vain. Its a sad day, not only for the drinkers of real ale, or drinkers in Darwen, but for the drinking brotherhood itself.
If it can happen there, it can happen here. It has happened here. I can name several pubs that have closed, never to reopen in our local area, because the pub companies cannot see the wood for the trees, and want their pound of flesh, and in these times that pound is becoming two or three pounds.
Lets support what we have, and be grateful that in our town we have many good pubs that are free of tie which are not only surviving but going from strength to strength. Lets also support the tied pubs too, or it may be too late, like it is for the Black Lion and the Black Horse, and all we can do is bemoan what we have lost.

MCA lifts ban on Shah Rukh
by veena August 2, 2015 0132
Mumbai, Aug 2 (IANS) The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Sunday lifted the ban it imposed three years ago on Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan from entering the Wankhede Stadium here.
Shah Rukh, owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was banned from entering the stadium in 2012 after he misbehaved with security staff following a match between KKR and Mumbai Indians. He was originally banned for five years.
"The managing committee of MCA has decided to lift the ban it imposed three years ago on Shah Rukh Khan from entering the Wankhede Stadium," MCA vice president Ashish Selhar told IANS.
"On the proposal of MCA president Sharad Pawar and me, the managing committee has decided to lift the ban. The ban was imposed on him for many years, so today we thought it would not look good to bar somebody like this. So we decided it should be lifted. Now Shah Rukh is open to enter Wankhede."
The "Chennai Express" star was banned on May 18, 2012 from entering the MCA premises by the managing committee of the association headed by Vilasrao Deshmukh, former chief minister of Maharashtra.
MCA officials had also lodged a complaint against the 49-year-old actor at the Marine Drive police station saying that he was drunk and abused the officials.
Shah Rukh had denied that he misbehaved and said that he reacted after some children, including his own, being manhandled by the stadium security staff.
The MCA in 2014 had offered to temporarily lift the ban on the actor in what was a failed attempt at bringing back the IPL final from Bengaluru to Mumbai. That offer, however, was just for the final.
Shah Rukh also owns Caribbean Premier League (CPL) team Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel. The team recently clinched the 2015 Twenty20 title.

In this age of information, digital communications are perhaps the most vital form of outreach an organization has for presenting itself to the world. Today it is probably more likely that a person's first experience or interaction with your organization will occur through the Internet. Digital spaces are where reputations are built and managed now.
There are no shortages of services and materials for building a digital presence, whether it is on the Web or a social network; however there does seem to be less focus on how these presences will be managed and maintained after they are built. This is the all-important and too often neglected role of governance for digital communications, otherwise known as the ownership, management, and sustainability plan for an organization's various digital communications platforms.
Governance seems simple at a distance – it is the set of rules an organization will follow for its digital communications – but the devil is in the detail, and the details are precisely where the process of defining a governance plan becomes prickly. The details are also where many will become bogged down, lose momentum, and set the plans aside, never to be addressed again until a problem arises.
To help get you started, or to keep you on track, developing a governance plan for your institution's digital communications, I have put together a guide that outlines many of the questions you will want to answer in thinking through policies and guidelines in your governance plan. This guide is based largely on work I have done in higher education, but I have altered it considerably to make it as general as possible for broad use across industries. If nothing else, it is a good start for thinking about the kinds of issues that your organization faces.
Read my "Guide to Governance for Digital Communications.

Belgium suspends arms exports to Saudi national guard
A complaint from human rights groups prompts Belgium to suspend arms export licences for some shipments.
FN Herstal, which makes rifles and machine guns, and John Cockerill (CMI), which specialises in gun turrets for armoured vehicles, employ 4,400 Belgians between them [File: Benoit Tessier/Reuters]
Belgium's top legal authority has suspended arms export licences for shipments to Saudi Arabia's National Guard after a complaint from human rights groups.
The Council of State granted an injunction on Friday as the contracts did not meet the standard for "human rights in the end-user country and its respect for international law".
Nevertheless, the council decided not to block shipments to the Saudi Royal Guard, a separate unit.
In February, the southern Belgian region of Wallonia halted weapons sales to Saudi Arabia's defence ministry and air force over concerns about the conduct of its war in Yemen.
But it said it would continue to supply the two Saudi guard units, arguing that they were more focused on legitimate internal security and bodyguard roles.
Civilian deaths
Saudi Arabia intervened in the almost five-year civil war in its southern neighbour to support the government side, but the conflict has killed tens of thousands of civilians.
The kingdom is one of the world's biggest arms purchasers, spending billions with the United States and the United Kingdom, in particular.
Riyadh depends less on Belgian arms, but is nevertheless Wallonia's number one customer, accounting for 225 million euros ($247m) in a 950-million-euro ($1.04bn) industry in 2018.
FN Herstal, which makes rifles and machine guns, and John Cockerill (CMI), which specialises in gun turrets for armoured vehicles, employ 4,400 Belgians between them.
The Wallonia regional government is FN Herstal's sole shareholder.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he admires the boldness and confidence of the Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo as he aims to get the presidential ticket of his party ahead of the 2019 elections.
The former president was speaking in Abeokuta when he received the PDP presidential aspirant, Ibrahim Dankwambo in Abeokuta.
Dankwambo who also met with members of the PDP board of trustees in continuation of his lobby to clinch the party's ticket, pledged not to witch hunt any person if he becomes president.
He said he will constitute his cabinet in the first week of his inauguration.


36 hours: Prambanan, vomit, planes, cars & torrential rain.
Seeing as Merapi was out of the question for our second day in Borobudur due to the torrential rain and blistered feet, we decided to hire a driver and check out the ancient Hindu temple called Prambanan.
It was near the airport apparently, so easy to just head over for our evening flight from there.
As we had nine hours, I thought we might be able to also squeeze in a visit to the local and rather delicious, Monggo Chocolate Factory. On my previous post, I did mention it was an Indonesian long weekend right?
The traffic was insane! Due to the fact that our chosen destinations both closed at 5pm and were on opposite sides of the city, it meant we could only choose one.
Much to the complete horror and disgust of Miss P, we chose Prambanan temple.
I really don't think she could look at me for the next hour, traumatised by my decision. The torrential rain that decided to make its appearance not long after my decision also seemed to cement her conviction that I had chosen poorly. I secretly prayed for the rain to stop, otherwise I hated to admit that perhaps I had made the wrong decision and she was right.
Thankfully Prambanan surpassed any expectations we may have had, even Miss P thought so. It was entirely mesmerizing.
Even in the rain, which had eased somewhat. I do believe the rain actually added to the mystique of the area and an added bonus, kept a decent percent of the crowds away. Having said that, the local paparazzi still managed to hunt us out for a constant stream of photos, but I think Prambanan left a bigger imprint as a truly magical and mystical place more so than Borobudur did for me.
Perhaps because I had no expectation of Prambanan temple.
I had never even heard of it until a week prior to going there.
Maybe poor Borobudur had no chance with the high level of expectation that I had set.
Anyway, after a delicious late lunch of Ayam Bakar at a small local warung we hopped into the car to head to the airport…. Where we purchased a block of Monggo chocolate.
Turns out you can purchase a pass to the Borobudur airport 'lounge', a blessing as we had a decent wait before boarding our plane, especially with the added flight delay. Now don't get too excited, yes, food, and non-alcoholic drinks are free, but remember it's a Muslim country, so no alcohol. Just warning you now. For the three of us it cost $27.00 AUD. Deal!
Miss P had begun to feel somewhat unwell during our time at the airport but was managing to hold it together.
The car rental dude was however not so delighted with our delay into Bali and said he'd rather deliver the car tomorrow rather than at midnight, unaware that we actually needed to head back up to Ubud.
I did start to think maybe we'd be better off staying the night in Denpasar at some cheap digs, rather than a long and potentially dangerous drive back up to Ubud, considering we'd get back around 2am.
Our flight was finally called and I was still involved in a steady stream of texts with the car hire company involving the manager as well as another staff member telling me he was still happy to wait at the airport. Only in Bali!
I decided on a hotel and hit the 'book' button as the flight attendant waited for me to turn my phone off. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute.
An hour or so later, we were back in Bali.
We walked across the tarmac and onto a terminal shuttle bus, whereby Miss P unleashed, exorcist style.
Yep! She really hadn't been feeling well and here was the evidence, all over the floor of the crowded bus.
In Bali I travel everywhere with tissues now (mainly for other reasons, like going to the toilet) so I tried my best to clean her hands (she tried to catch it – like that was going to work), and cover it up neatly as best I could. I couldn't apologise enough to the poor staff that were now faced with cleaning it up.
Okay, a quick clean up, through the airport, off to the car and then to our hotel… or so we hoped.
I did actually remember to bring the Tom-Tom (GPS), however it had no idea where our hotel was and there are no street numbers here to give an accurate location.
We did manage to locate it on Google maps on the IPhone, however Siri must have been asleep (it was late) and refused to talk to us. This meant my 14-year-old son had to navigate from the back seat. It was already around 12.30am and our sense of humour was not at it's finest let's just say.
Poor Declan struggled to read the map and I was getting frustrated with the, what seemed to be, aimless driving around.
We got lucky with a few correct moves, a hotel sign and a few U-Turns along the way. When we pulled into the laneway, I think the kids (because I know I did) thought where the hell has she taken us now? However the hotel was clean, cheap & comfortable. Perfect.
I think we all passed out around 2am after showers and some very deep breathing!
After a great sleep in we thought we'd hit the road and grab some brunch along the way.
Tom-Tom was partly co-operating but the traffic wasn't and the petrol tank was flat lining! Yep… don't expect petrol with your car hire. You have been warned.
We were stuck in bumper-to-bumper to traffic, no petrol and no idea when the next petrol station might appear.
I was also not entirely convinced we were heading in the right direction.
A petrol station! Yay! At least now I can breath.
It took two hours through the most insane traffic I think I have ever experienced to get back up to Ubud.
Not only was there the usual and relentless game of chicken, today was also about how many new lanes they could create. To say it was stressful is an understatement. Then as we approached Ubud, the heavens decided to open up and it absolutely poured. As only it can in the tropics.
Rain, motorbikes, cars and massive touring buses vied for a piece of the narrow and pot holed roads.
Forget food! I want to get the hell home!
Have I told you about the road we live on? Probably wouldn't really call it road. I guess it is… of sorts, although it has been somewhat improved since I wrote this. Marginally.
It's rock, sand, dirt, tiles, whatever they could throw at it I guess. Originally just a track to access the rice fields. Forget 2 cars passing each other. That's a whole other story.
Now, do you know what happens to those elements when the heavens open up the floodgates? On a steep incline?
I went from a larger Toyota Avanza (with a higher wheel base) to a small 'city' car because I wanted something newer… mainly because I wanted brakes that worked, tread on the tyres and a wheel alignment that didn't mean turning the steering wheel a full 360 degrees every time I went through a bumpy patch.
I have to admit I was a little worried about the wheel base/height of the small car on my road, but thought surely it should be okay?
Not in a massive fricken torrential downpour in the middle of the rainy season! No Lisa, no! It's not okay.
I took two runs at it. One on the right side where admittedly there was more mud and less rock, however it also didn't possess great deep canyon sized rivulets running down it. Nope, tyres spun, expletives were yelled and I admitted defeat and reversed back down…. Without gravity working in our favour, I think we may have been stuck.
After a little cry and a big deep breath (remembering it's around 1pm by now and I still haven't had a coffee, let alone breakfast), I thought I'd give the left side a go. Maybe the rock might give me some traction if I can avoid the deepening channels?
Nothing! Tyres span and the car rocked and I couldn't make any headway. Time to back it off before we do end up completely bogged.
Whilst this was happening a local in his much larger van was patiently waiting his turn. I parked on the side and let him through. He also experienced the same thing, but after only 1 shot, gave it away, reversed and drove off in the direction he had come from.
The rain was still torrential, so getting out and just walking the one-kilometer home wasn't really an option.
All I could think of was to call our landlord (who lived a few hundred meters away) to see if he could somehow rescue us.
He came immediately, first with his motorbike to make a quick survey and realized he needed the big 4WD if he was going to be able to do this.
We loaded our luggage, lock up our car and jumped in.
It's still slippery and slightly precarious but we make it through and he delivers us safely home. Love my landlord!
Home to a house with little food and depleting amounts of water. Whatever! We are home! Safe!
Salad and toast for dinner and hey, I can drink the beer!
Out he comes again… has a check and states it must be the whole area. Two hours later it all seems fine. Until we go to bed and I realize there is no running water, however the electricity is working.
Oh heck! This can wait till the morning. I need sleep.
Nyoman! 'Oops, I must have switched it off when I came to check everything yesterday'.
Lucky we have a pool to at least freshen up in.
I have to be honest, after those 36 hours, I wanted to go home! Back to Melbourne. To a comfy couch with a cup of tea. To my local shops, yoga studio.. And to just feel comfortable again.
To a 'normal' life. To the daily routine, the single working Mum juggle, the 9-5, the school drop offs, to a decent and stable income. To holidays. To having a goddam oven for crying out loud!
I moved through it. Found the absurdity in it and have embraced the change.

Thursday, Thursday, Picture Books! — "Five Minutes (That's a lot of time) (No, it's not) (Yes, it is)," by Liz Garton, Audrey Vernick & Olivier Tallec; "16 Words: William Carlos Williams & 'The Red Wheelbarrow,'"; and "My Tiny Pet," by Jessie Hartland
("White Chickens/Black/and Red" photo by Nancy Row Rawley)
I love this picture book's title, y'all. "Five Minutes (That's a lot of time) (No, it's not) (Yes, it is)," written by Liz Garton Scanlon and Audrey Vernick, illustrated by Olivier Tallec (G.P. Putnam's Sons BFYR, 2019, ages 3-7, $16.99).
This cheerful, goofy picture book takes just about five minutes to read, but you'll probably end up need 20-25 minutes, total, because the kids will want you to read it four or five times. Five minutes is forever — or it's not enough, depending on how a person looks at it. Visiting the puppies, bunnies and birds at the pet store? Five minutes is not enough. Just a little more sleep? Please, please more than five minutes. Waiting in line, anywhere? Five minutes takes an eternity. Clever story, sweet illustrations.
Visit the crew — Liz Garton on Twitter @LGartonScanlong, Audrey Vernick and Olivier Tallec.
I have many favorite poems, but this one is in the top five:
a red wheel
glazed with rain
beside the white chickens."
— William Carlos Williams
What is it about this poem? English majors and their professors, writers and poets, fans of chickens… we all worship it, analyze it, interpret it in different ways. It's cool to see the poem dissected — and illustrated — in a new picture book, "16 Words: William Carlos Williams & 'The Red Wheelbarrow,'" (Schwartz & Wade Books, by Lisa Rogers, illustrated by Chuck Groenink, 2019, ages 4-8, 40 pages, $17.99).
I love when this poem is used as a writing prompt; it frees us. It is simple, beautiful, deep, and everything a poem needs to be. Williams was a family doctor in Rutherford, New Jersey. Thaddeus Marshall, a neighbor, was one of his patients. His garden, his wheelbarrow, and the sale of his vegetables inspired Williams, who wrote in his spare time. Who knew? (English majors. Their profs. Writers and poets. #bigsmile)
The illustrations and the words wrap around the poem to give us a nice biography of Mr. Williams, and a beautiful tribute to Mr. Marshall. Enjoy.
For more about the author and illustrator, check Lisa Rogers and Chuck Groenink.
Next up, one just for you, science geeks and art lovers: Jessie Hartland's "My Tiny Pet," (Nancy Paulsen Books, 2019, ages 4-8, $17.99). They can survive radiation, the vacuum of space, or live at the bottom of the ocean. They can hibernate for centuries. Their biggest predator, though? You'll never believe it. Snails.
What is this mysterious creature we're talking about? Tardigrades! (Aka, "water bears.") And now someone, believe it or not, has written and illustrated a beautiful, sweet, educational picture book about them. Hartland's work (gouache) has been compared to Maira Kalman's (one of the best artists, ever, in the history of the universe, people!) and yes. It does remind me of Kalman's work.
A little girl and her family are downsizing and moving to the forest, and their pets are all rehomed. But she would really, pretty please, like one small pet? So much love for this book.
Check out more of Hartland's work here.

Thanks so much for reviewing 16 Words! It's awesome that the wheelbarrow poem is one of your very favorites. I especially appreciate your comments about Thaddeus Marshall. As soon as I learned that he was the owner of the wheelbarrow, I was inspired to tell this story. Thanks again for the lovely and thoughtful review.

UPDATE 4:50 p.m.: It's essentially official. Hornacek has agreed to terms with the Suns to become their new head coach, reports Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic. Hornacek is expected to sign a three-year deal as early as Monday.
UPDATE 10:25 a.m.: Wojnarowski updated his piece with the information that Hornacek has in fact been offered the job, and that he and the team are working to finalize details of the agreement over the weekend. The rest of the coaching staff that will work under Hornacek is in the process of being assembled.
9:30 a.m.: The Suns may be closing in on a candidate to fill their vacant head coaching position, and a former player appears to be the leader as the team begins to wrap up its process.
One of the Phoenix Suns' popular former players – Jeff Hornacek – has emerged as the frontrunner for the franchise's head coaching job, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
An assistant coach with the Utah Jazz, Hornacek met with new Suns general manager Ryan McDonough and president Lon Babby in the past week in Phoenix.
No offer has yet been extended to Hornacek, but the Suns' search process could be completed within the next week, league sources said.
When the Suns introduced new GM Ryan McDonough, he said that putting a new head coach firmly in place was at the top of his list of priorities. Phoenix has interviewed experienced assistants Steve Clifford and J.B. Bickerstaff during their process, as well as Lindsey Hunter, who had the interim tag while coaching the team for the second part of the 2013 season.
Hornacek has been an assistant coach with the Jazz, and like most of the other candidates the Suns have strongly considered to this point, has no prior NBA head coaching experience. That's the way the organization wants to go, however, given the rebuilding situation that Phoenix is facing.
The Suns want someone in the leadership role that can grow with the new GM, and help construct a culture of winning essentially from scratch. A former player like Hornacek who has ties to the organization seems like a strong place to start.

It all leads to the chance of winning the title of Super Top Dog and a cash prize ($5,000 in the Child Star category and $20,000 in the Adult category) on November 21st!

Amateur Night at the Apollo is hosted by the comedian Capone. Each show begins with a festive pre-party featuring video and music by DJ Jess followed by the dynamic vocals of Joe Gray, the "Set it Off Man." And keep a lookout for C.P. Lacey, the resident Executioner who sweeps bad talent off the stage.

Q: Are there special values Windows never uses for a processID? During a code review I found the original programmer making the assumption his program will never get the 1010 (one thousand and ten) PID.
So there is an hard coded test on PID 1010.

*

*Is it safe code?

*Is it a value windows never uses?

Thank you.

A: No program can obtain a 1010 (one thousand and ten) PID. All PID (and all kernel handles) will be multipes of four as the two lower bits of its value will be 0
Extracted from ntdef.h
//
// Low order two bits of a handle are ignored by the system and available
// for use by application code as tag bits.  The remaining bits are opaque
// and used to store a serial number and table index.

Welcome to the 10 Man Ride – a weekly Monday recap hitting on the 10 best stats, plays and moments of the PLL weekend.
Breaking down the new PLL rules
By Joe Keegan / May 28, 2019 February 6, 2020
The PLL will play with a 52-second shot clock that starts upon possession. At first sight, that's not a clean number – but keep in mind that the field is 10 yards shorter than a typical lacrosse field (more on that later). Now, there are 70 yards between each goal rather than 80 yards.
Lacrosse Lessons From the Battle of Winterfell
By Joe Keegan / May 5, 2019 February 6, 2020
This week's episode of Game of Thrones featured the longest battle scene in television or movie history. The Battle of Winterfell featured some of the best fighters in Westeros. While some of the X's and O's decisions were questionable (why not build a bigger ring of fire?), the overall strategy provides some insight for the PLL's players as they prepare to battle for the PLL crown.

Ty Thompson scores goals that strain the imagination and bend the laws of motion.
How Box Lacrosse is Preparing American Players for the PLL
By Joe Keegan / April 12, 2019 February 6, 2020
Atlas LC defenseman Kyle Hartzell hadn't suited up for a National Lacrosse League game since 2013 when Brodie Merrill texted him last month. The San Diego Seals captain — along with his brother, Patrick, who is the head coach and general manager — urged Hartzell to return to box lacrosse. A few days later, Hartzell was on the floor for the Seals matchup with the Toronto Rock.
Preview and Predictions for the 2019 PLL Draft
Seriously, does it matter what your "team needs" are when Pat Spencer is on the board? Take the talent and figure it out later. Spencer is a ball-dominant feeder who has worked on his step-down shooting as an upperclassman; he'll have to polish it further to play alongside other ball-carriers like Tom Schreiber and Kevin Rice. But it's easy to envision the possibilities for this offense.

Manny Rodriguez isn't the only person to have that first impression of the 6-foot-5 Myles Jones. The key difference between Rodriguez and most people: Rodriguez trains NFL players for a living.
