Q: Have a Regex for matching CSS which needs tweaking (?<selector>[^\{\s]+\w+(\s\[^\{\s]+)?)\s?\{(?<style>[^\}]*)\}

The above matches almost all cases.
audio:not([controls])
{
   display:none
}

Anything like this however (with the square brackets), does not match properly.
button,input[type="button"],input[type="reset"],input[type="submit"]
{
   cursor:pointer;-webkit-appearance:button
}
input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration,input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button
{
   -webkit-appearance:none
}

these too...

A: Try this:
(?<=\}\s*)(?<selector>[^\{\}]+?)(?:\s*\{(?<style>[^\{\}]+)\})

Explanation:
// (?<=\}\s*)(?<selector>[^\{\}]+?)(?:\s*\{(?<style>[^\{\}]+)\})
//
// Options: case insensitive; ^ and $ match at line breaks
//
// Assert that the regex below can be matched, with the match ending at this position (positive lookbehind) «(?<=\}\s*)»

Fashion, films, and flags: Interview with artist Muriel Stockdale

Designer, filmmaker, and visual artist Muriel Stockdale discusses her career and her recent flag-themed exhibition called 'E Pluribus'
by Meagan Meehan
June 28, 2017 at 5:33 AM June 28, 2017 at 5:33 AM
Muriel Stockdale is a British-born visual artist and theatrical designer who moved to America in 1967 and currently lives and works in New York City. One of Muriel's recent projects, entitled "E Pluribus," is a series of flags exploring the concept of "patriotism" in the United States. The flags are handcrafted in mosaic tapestries to represent how a diverse nation like America can co-exist in peace and harmony. Muriel has been working on her series of American flags since 2003 and is always expanding the project to include others.
Muriel was an instructor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts as part of the Graduate Design Department.
Aside from visual art, she has worked as a set and costume designer in the theater since the 1970s. As she became more comfortable in theater, she began directing and writing. In fact, she has even written and produced a short film titled "New York City Spirit." Over the course of thirty years, Muriel has lent her talents to film and television; providing costumes for "One Life to Live," Law and Order" and other hit shows from top-rate companies. Perhaps most impressively, she has spent more than twenty years working with Jim Henson Productions--the company behind "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show '"--building and designing costumes for puppets and people. She has also penned articles for magazines such as "RaveSQ" and "The Independent."
Aside from her "E Pluribus" flags, Muriel recently completed a novel titled "Gabriel Born" and was invited to create a large diversity flag for a temporary installation at 3 World Trade Center.
Muriel recently discussed her projects in an exclusive Interview.
Artistic inspirations and theater
Meagan Meehan (MM): What prompted you to embrace a career in the arts and what came first, an interest in theater or a fascination with the visual arts?
Muriel Stockdale (MS): I've always been an Artist. As a child, I drew, copying photos and masterworks.
At age ten, I entered a competition for kids to draw their family breakfast. They rejected my entry saying no child can draw perspective so an adult must have done it. When I came to the USA at age thirteen, my parents joined a Community Theatre. My whole family loved it, and I found my passion. I majored in art and nutrition in college but spent all my time in the theater graduating Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa for a double major at the University of Vermont.
MM: You're working on an art project now involving flags of the United States, can you tell us a bit more about this project and why you find it exciting and timely?
MS: My flags celebrate diversity in America and were inspired by the 2003 Iraq war. Recently naturalized, I'd studied the constitution, and the war felt wrong. I feel a connection to the prophetic motto of the USA: E Pluribus, Unum, meaning – Out of Many, One. The motto referred to people from six European countries and thirteen American colonies that created the United States of America. Today that motto refers to Americans from everywhere. When we declare war on anyone, we declare war on ourselves. My flags are most relevant in times like these when powerful influences foment hatred.
This disturbs me so I do what I can to show we do live in harmony and our lives are better for diversity; where would we be without Jazz or Chinese food?
MM: What, exactly, does "patriotism" mean to you personally?
MS: The word "Patriotism" feels separating and power mongering to me. Could we be aware of something like "matriotism" and think of the country as a nourishing place without competition and dominance? If we focus national effort on fertile ideas, production, and support for each other, I'm sure life would improve. My art flags suggest this; most of the flags are made in women's craft styles.
MM: You also recently got commissioned to make art for a World Trade Center Building, how did that amazing opportunity come about and what kind of art are you creating for space?
MS: This will be a huge multicultural flag for 3 World Trade Center hung from the ceiling. My friend Doug Smith of World Trade Gallery invited me. It was for building four but because I need people to donate fabric I was unable to finish it in time. It will join a show in 2018, and I am accepting fabrics from people who want to share their culture in it. My friend, Jim Hunter, is sculpting mobile stars for it.
MM: How did you immerse yourself in New York's theater world and why did you gravitate towards set design and costume design?
MS: After graduating in 1982 I dived into the theater and worked in dance, opera, film, advertising, and television and taught drawing at NYU Tisch graduate design.
It was all about personal contacts, references, and working for or with the same people repeatedly. Costumes and scenery were a relevant way to ply my art. Bringing life to the words of a playwright, fleshing out character and assisting the audience to feel the fullness of an actor's contribution was deeply satisfying. Also, I love to work in a team, and I miss that since writing and making art alone can be lonely. However, I do not miss the frenzy of the deadline!
Media and plans
MM: What sorts of costumes and sets have you worked on and had any proven to be especially fun or memorable?
MS: I loved doing scenery and costumes together. My favorite was for director John Sheehan at the Opera Ensemble of New York when I designed 'Orfeo ed Eurydice.' For years I worked at the Vineyard Theater creating costumes for many original productions including Edward Albee's, "Three Tall Women" and Lanie Robertson's, "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill."
MM: When did you delve into the world of television and movies and how did you land gigs on so many well-known productions?
MS: Right out of NYU I started assisting; my first job was a referral. I came to the Jim Henson Company because of my friend and award-winning designer, Polly Smith, worked for them. After that, I returned to the Muppets annually for over twenty years. I worked on construction for the movies and many television shows. I was honored to design two original Jim Henson Production shows – "CityKids" and "Aliens in the Family." That led me to more kid's TV which I love; everyone is working in the industry was conscious and caring with an acute awareness of the power of the media.
MM: Do you have any cool "behind the scenes" stories that you would like to share?
MS: When we made, "The Muppets Take Manhattan," I delivered Miss Piggy to Central Park.
I was in the back of the cab with her tucked in a large bag. In chatting with the cabby, I finally said, "You have a star in the back of your cab?" He said, "Oh, who are you?" peering at me in his mirror, so I showed him Miss Piggy! Of course, he was delighted and wished his children were there too!
MM: You are also a writer and you have created both a short film and a feature-length film, so can you tell us a little bit about your movies, their inspirations, the plot, and characters?
MS: I quit design because I was unhappy about the projects I interviewed for. The films dealt with drugs, prostitution, police procedures, murders, and everything seemed to be about guns. They were not the entertainment I want to watch or work on.
So, I decided to write. I took some classes. I wrote pitches about diversity for documentary TV. When I pitched, back then no one understood what I was talking about. It was a different time before 9/11. After that, I pitched a show called, "American Mosaic" and it was almost produced.
In 2000, in a script writing class, I wrote, "Gabriel's Flight." The script won some awards but was never produced so I turned it into a book and last December published my first novel now called, "Gabriel Born."
In 2003, I made a short film, "New York City Spirit." It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Thanks to Casey Meade of Projectile Arts we did it. Six minutes of the film involved hundreds of people.
A producer, Sam Adelman, came on board and the short enjoyed a year of film festivals winning some awards.
From 2003 to 2005 I organized a group for entertainment artists. "The Institute for Spiritual Entertainment – NY" met for talks, conferences, and gatherings. It was inspiring. We dreamed of shifting the industry to be more uplifting. In 2005, I went away to design costumes for Stephen Simon's film "Conversations with God" about Neale Donald Walsch. When I returned, I decided to focus on my own work so without my constant input that group folded. Members continue with their dreams creating, books, films and not for profits working in various areas of entertainment.
MM: You write for several magazines and outlets, so how did you secure these publishing spots and what topics do you favor?
MS: I have not written articles for a while. The first was for the film, "Short Cut to Nirvana: Khumb Mela" by Nick Day and Maurizzio Benazzo. I pitched the idea to RAVE SQ because I'd met the editor; my personal interest is the spiritual meaning and impact of a subject.
MM: What are your future aspirations for your overall artistic career?
MS: I am planning a new E Pluribus series. I plan to paint portraits in the patterns and colors of the subject's culture in a Klimptian style. First, I must finish the flags. At this point I want to finish what I've started; I have a few books. One about the flags, another is a spiritual commentary, another is about sacred clothing, and there is a sequel to "Gabriel Born" brewing.
I am completing an opera based on the Vedic text, "The Ramayana." Historical epics always focus on the hero, in mine, we focus on the women of the story. I've been working on a proposal for a historical fiction TV show as well. It's about two empresses who rise to power in the 19th Century one of them we know the other's life is a mystery. This again is a story about the power of women in our history with a healthy dose of cultural and spiritual influence.

Le HMS Indomitable est le premier croiseur de bataille au monde à être armé. De , il entre en service dans la Royal Navy le . Il participe ainsi à la Première Guerre mondiale, durant laquelle il prend part aux batailles des Falklands, de Dogger Bank et du Jutland. Obsolète à la fin du conflit, il est revendu pour démolition en 1921.

Conception

Au début du , dans la Royal Navy, chaque classe de cuirassé possède sa classe de croiseurs cuirassés équivalente ; c'est le cas par exemple de la , inspirée de la classe Lord Nelson. Ainsi en 1902, la classe Invincible est prévue pour être construite en parallèle d'une classe de cuirassés ; elle disposerait d'un blindage de , de 2 tourelles doubles de canons de , de 6 tourelles doubles de canons de  et de machines développant  qui feraient filer  aux navires. À la place, c'est la classe Minotaur qui est construite, mais le First Sea Lord Fisher les trouve trop lents à son goût. La guerre russo-japonaise donne un nouvel élan à la construction de croiseurs cuirassés, et Fisher met en avant l'idée qu'une grande vitesse leur serait suffisante pour éviter les obus de gros calibre. Un nouveau type de croiseurs cuirassés est étudié, basé sur le cuirassé  : il doit disposer de canons de , d'un blindage de  et d'une vitesse de . Ainsi naît le concept de croiseur de bataille, dont la grande vitesse compense le blindage moindre.

LIndomitable est armé de 8 canons de  BL Mk X répartis en 4 tourelles doubles, de 16 , d'un canon antiaérien de  QF 20 cwt et de 5 tubes lance-torpilles de . 31 chaudières Babcock & Wilcox alimentent les 4 turbines Parsons qui développent  ; le croiseur de bataille peut ainsi filer . Pouvant emporter jusqu'à  de charbon et  de mazout, le navire peut parcourir  à une vitesse de .

Histoire

La construction de lIndomitable commence le  ; il est lancé le  et armé le . Le croiseur de bataille commence sa carrière en amenant le prince de Galles, futur roi George V à Montréal dès le mois suivant. Il rejoint ensuite la Home Fleet en octobre 1908. Dès mars 1909 il rejoint la  escadre de croiseurs de bataille dont il devient le navire amiral le . En 1913, après plusieurs rénovations, il rejoint la Mediterranean Fleet en compagnie de l' afin de constituer la . Il participe alors à la poursuite du Goeben et du Breslau en août 1914. À la suite de ce fiasco, le 3 novembre, lIndomitable et l', accompagnés de deux vieux cuirassés français, les  et , bombardent les forts à l'entrée du détroit des Dardanelles. En décembre, le croiseur de bataille retourne à Rosyth et subit plusieurs modifications. Le , il participe à la bataille de Dogger Bank ; touché une unique fois par le , il tire  de  sur le croiseur cuirassé qui finit par couler après avoir subi le feu roulant de la flotte britannique. LIndomitable rentre à Rosyth en remorquant le navire amiral , gîtant et dont les machines sont hors d'usage.

Après réparations, le croiseur de bataille rejoint ses sister-ships dans la . Les trois navires participent ainsi à la bataille du Jutland en mai 1916. LIndomitable tire  de , touchant le  trois fois, le  et le  une fois chacun. En juin, il rejoint la  escadre avant d'être mis en réserve en février 1919. Il est finalement rayé des listes en mars 1920 avant d'être vendu pour démolition en décembre 1921.

'Racism is an objective reality' – Watch Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie dominate a debate on racism, Trump and privilege
by Jennifer on Nov 17th, 2016 Tweet
Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie hit the international headlines recently when she made some strong remarks about Donald Trump, racism and privilege on BBC Newsnight.
The interview was hosted by Emily Maitlis, with Adichie and the editor in chief of the American Spectator, R Emmett Tyrrell.
Tyrrell tries a number of bullying tactics, but Adichie was having none of it. The highlight of the interview is Adichie's remark:
I'm sorry but if you are a white man you don't get to define what racism is. You really don't. You don't get to sit there and say [Trump] hasn't been racist when objectively, he has. And it's not about your opinion. Racism is an objective reality and Donald Trump has inhabited that reality.
We've created some gifs of her brilliance for you to share, so scroll down for those.
The full discussion has now been made available, and you can watch it at the end of this post.
Adichie begins by saying that she believes the demands being made by many of Trump's supporters are valid, but criticised the "dark", "ugly" nature of his populism:
For me what I think this has shown is that there are different kinds of populism. I think that the underlying idea to this election has been that a certain group in the US feel that they have been economically disadvantaged and ignored, and I think that's valid and true.
I also think that's really a result of a larger capitalist system that both parties have embraced. But I think what is very troubling to me is that we can find that idea valid without accepting other ideas that have propelled Trump to his success. And so, populism doesn't have to be as dark and ugly as it has been with Donald Trump.
Bernie Sanders rode a wave of populism; it wasn't dark, it wasn't ugly, it didn't involve misogyny and racism.
When asked for his views on Trump, Tyrrell chooses emphasise how he believes Hillary Clinton was found wanting by the American public and "lied repeatedly".
"Does it feel to you America has changed?" Maitlis asks Adichie, who responds:
I feel quite numb. I have felt quiet numb since the elections. And I think I felt numb because I was genuinely surprised. And I wasn't surprised because I live in some sort of liberal bubble. I was surprised because I felt that people would reject the package in which Donald Trump's message came.
The populism, the idea that there are people who have been neglected and we need to look out for them, I think it's valid.
But what is shocking to me, and what has made me feel so numb, and sad, and angry, is that it seems that people who have accepted this idea also accepted the other things. We can talk about lying, and talk about a person who has consistently been shown to lie about big things and small things …
Adichie adds that to suggest Clinton was not honest is not a strong argument, and points out that she was voted for by more Americans, numerically.
Tyrrell is then spotted "raising his eyes" by Maitlis, and she asks him to respond.
"I don't really respond to an election the way this lady does," he says. "I don't respond to it emotionally, I look at the evidence. And the evidence suggests that there was a reason for this."
Maitlis asks him if he is at all worried by the protectionist, isolationist rhetoric of the Trump campaign.
"No," he replies, saying he doesn't believe it is protectionist or isolationist, and adding: "I believe Donald Trump is going to be in the great line of American internationalists."
At this point Adichie can't disguise a grin:
… and is invited to respond:
No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is absolutely absurd. We can't create an alternate universe where the real Donald Trump doesn't exist. He campaigned as a man who is protectionist, who is isolationist, who actually doesn't abide with many of the traditional conservative values. So to suggest he is going to be some kind of internationalist doesn't make sense.
And can I say that I find it patronising to be told that I respond to things emotionally, and that somehow doing that means that I don't respond to things in a way that looks at evidence. We are talking about Donald Trump, who has been shown to lie over and over. There is evidence for that. So to say that to point that out is to be emotional I think is really absurd.
Maitlis then points out that the first black president will be followed by a president who is endorsed by the KKK.
Tyrrell dismisses the significance of this, and says – pointing his index finger at the presenter – "it's inappropriate to talk about the KKK in the same sentence of Donald Trump or any republican. They're utterly marginal."
Adichie is again invited to respond, dub as she does Tyrrell interrupts her, saying sneeringly "go ahead, let me hear what you have to say about that".
With good grace, in very diplomatic passive voice, Adichie says: "You know, I find it really interesting; there seems to be a refusal to accept reality. [Maitlis] has asked a question about the KKK and it hasn't been engaged with … the point is the KKK exists, the KKK endorsed Donald Trump, the KKK stands for white supremacy, and that has to be acknowledged, that has to be pushed back on."
An inkling of concern seems to cross Tyrrell's face at this point, but he tries to keep his spirits up – and possibly deflect attention – by abruptly yelling "Balderdash! What balderdash!"
Maitlis asks Tyrrell: "Was there nothing that Trump said on the campaign trail about race that hit you? Did you worry about any of it?"
"No, in fact you people keep magnifying it," he says. "[Trump] talked about a lot of other things. Those things get through too. I mean this is ridiculous!"
Maitlis then points out that a fifth of Latinos and Hispanics voted for Trump, and asks Adichie whether that indicates that race was not a major issue in the election.
Adichie says:
I find that argument to be very troubling. The idea somehow that if people of colour vote for somebody who's racist it means he's not racist. Every system of oppression has people who are in the group of the oppressed who somehow contribute to that oppression. So it's not even a valid argument to make.
I think we should look at Trump for who Trump has told us and shown us that he is. So let's look at what he's said on the campaign trail. The only way we can judge the kind of president he will be is based on the campaign that he ran.
Maitlis says, "But maybe he didn't believe anything he said and maybe that's how you win a primary."
Adichie responds:
But then, that's the problem because on the one hand we're told that Trump's appeal is that he says what he thinks and the says it like it is, and then on the other hand we're told that somehow he doesn't really mean it. So which is it? There's something very troubling about that.
Maitlis mentions the many republicans, including Speaker of the US House of Representatives Paul Ryan, who have accepted that Trump has been racist in his language, "'textbook racism' was the phrase used," she says.
Tyrrell says: "That's not true, he hasn't been racist. I mean, let me tell you …"
At this point Adichie interjects, saying: "I'm sorry, but if you are a white man you don't get to define what racism is. You really don't. You don't get to sit there and say he hasn't been racist when, objectively, he has. And it's not about your opinion. Racism is an objective reality and Donald Trump has inhabited that reality."
Racism is an objective reality and Donald Trump has inhabited that reality.
Adichie mentions how Trump referred to United States District Judge Judge Gonzalo P Curiel as a "Mexican" during his campaign, in an attempt to discredit him.
Tyrrell's bizarre retort is: "I'm sorry but I looked at Judge Curiel and he didn't look any other colour than my colour."
He adds that he doesn't believe Trump will govern in the same way that he campaigned, as proved by his "dignified, charming" acceptance speech.
To says to us that we have to disregard everything that Donald Trump said and did during his long campaign and judge him just on the one day after he had won the election doesn't make sense.

Q: Could not comapre two dates using PHP I need to compare two given dates using PHP but as per my code its giving the wrong result. I am explaining my code below.
    $date=strtotime('18-05-2019 02:36 PM');
$stdate=date('d-m-Y H:i A',strtotime('18-05-2019'));
if($date==$stdate){
  echo 'same date';
}else{
  echo 'other date';

}

Here one date has date and time and other date has only date format. I need to compare the both dates using PHP. As per above code I am getting the result Other date which is wrong.

A: The date string '18-05-2019' is equivalent to '18-05-2019 00:00 AM'. When no time is given, it is usually just set as midnight. Hours and minutes are taken into account when using strtotime(). So your code is actually performing correctly.

A: Format the date with date() before you compare the values. You can take the UNIX timestamp generated by strtotime() and strip the time portion off:
$date=date( "Y-m-d", strtotime('18-05-2019 02:36 PM'));
$stdate=date( "Y-m-d", strtotime('18-05-2019'));

if($date==$stdate){
    echo 'same date';
}else{
    echo 'other date';
}

This has been tested and will echo 'same date'.

Breeds from the Lake Baikal area and MONGOLIA east through Amurland and northeastern CHINA to SAKHALIN ISLAND, JAPAN, and the KURIL ISLANDS south to TIBET and probably northwestern INDIA; winters in southern ASIA from INDIA to eastern and southern CHINA, KOREA, and southern JAPAN. more....
Subspecies: 3 races. B.j. japonicus: Breeds from Lena to the Sea of Okhotsk, Russian Far East, Sakhalin Island, JAPAN, and northeastern CHINA; winters in KOREA, southern JAPAN, and eastern and southern CHINA; B. b. oshiroi: Daito Is. to east of central RYUKYU ISLANDS; B.j. toyoshimai Endemic to Ogasawara Island. more....
Taxonomy: Based on molecular studies, Riesing et al. (2003) and Kruckenhauser et al. (2004) proposed treating populations of japonicus as a full species, and they were followed by Amaral et al. (2009). This taxon has been periodically separated from Buteo buteo since it was described, based on morphological characters.
Movements: Partial migrant, with the most northern breeding populations wintering in more southerly areas. more....
Conservation: Categorized by BirdLife International (2009) as a species of "Least Concern" (under the species account for Buteo buteo).

The microdrop device enables the deposition of small volume (approx. 110 pL) of liquid samples at precise locations. Liquids can be heated up to 160 ˚C and so this device can also be used to print wax patterns to create 3D micro structures.


Jerry: I actually came back to the U.S.A. with money in my pocket!
I had an awesome trip to Poltava! This was my first trip to Ukraine. I had been planning this trip for some time but she and I both have very demanding jobs and we couldn't make it happen until recently.
My lady and I have corresponded for some time and I went to see her and only her. Every moment my lady and I spent together was very special to me. I do plan on returning again, and hopefully it will be soon!
My interpreter Kate was the best and she went above and beyond in her job and also in helping my lady and I communicate effectively! At the moment my lady speaks only a little English and I am very proud of her for that! I really didn't speak Russian or Ukrainian. But that will change before my next trip!
I would also like to mention and compliment Irina from the Poltava branch. She went with us on one date when Kate couldn't. She was also great, what a fun, positive and bubbly personality she has!
I would recommend a visit to Poltava to anyone considering it. And I would definitely recommend UaDreams, especially for their first trip! In fact I have recommended the agency to a couple of my single friends.
As I said before, I am already trying to determine when I can return again. Thank you to UaDreams and the Poltava branch, especially Kate and Irina for all of your help!
I don't know if I will need UaDreams for my next trip but if I need your help on my next trip I am sure I can count on you again.
I am trying to establish a way for my lady and I to communicate and correspond outside of the agency where it is more economical and faster. But if it is okay we will still use the agency to communicate some until other ways can be established.
And thank you so much for your continued service to my lady and I.
I, Peter Marra, have just returned from a trip to the Ukraine and the wonderful city of Simferopol. I went there with much anticipation about meeting a special girl whom I had been writing to for four months. I was the first American to visit your Simferopol branch. I can tell you that I did not fall in love with the girl, but I did fall in love with the city of Simferopol, and Alex and Olga.
Alex and Olga are your branch managers in Simferopol, and they truly went above and beyond all of my expectations. We had dinner together in the evenings and I truly felt like I was with family.
My Suitcase was lost in Kiev; I think the suitcase ended up in India. Alex was good enough to lend me a coat until the next day and even offered me clothes since I did not have any. I was amazed! Who else would do something like this? Alex and his wife called me every day while I was there and made sure I had everything I needed. They were always just a phone call away. Even at the agency I felt like it was my own. They took the time to show me around the city and filled me in on many great sites.
I don't know what you are paying Alex and Olga, but they definitely deserve a raise! When my dreams of my girl went down the tubes, they were there for me. After all, you can put two people together but you can't force love. They definitely did their job. They put us together, but nothing evolved except my love for the city of Simferopol and for Alex and Olga.
In closing, I want you to know that I hope to plan another trip with C.C. and Simferopol. Alex and Olga are definitely on my itinerary!
I have just returned from a trip to Poltava and I must say thay noy only did you do what you said you would do, but you went above and beyond my expectations. The driver met me at the airport as promised and even Elena was at the CC office to help me get into the hotel. The accomadations were excellent. and I must say that Alex, Oleg, Elena, and Julia were very helpful.
Alex was my interpreter And he was excellent, even getting me back to my hotel after too much white beer. He took me to an authentic Ukranian restaurant and I am now in love with borsch. I was so pleased that I am actually considering moving to the Ukraine. Although things did not work out between the woman and I, I still had a great vacation. I will be back soon because I love the Ukrainian people and Poltava.
Thanks to CC I know I already have good friends there. My only stipulation is that if CC does not give its Poltava representatives a 10 % raise immediately, I will not return for they elected m! e as their representative. Ha, ha, ha. Nonetheless, they are all very deserving of all you can give them based on their hard work dealing with crazy American men. So cough up some money and I will see Alex, Julia, Oleg, and Elena in a couple of months.
I am a new member here. I have tried some other sites where scamming is usual. Off course it costs a bit of money - but here I have already after few days gotten aquainted with a woman who actually answers my qustions and taken a sincere interest in my person. There is a real dialogue and that is just great.
So thanks for keeping some basic - but extremely important standards !
Your professionalism deserves respect !
For six months I have email and phone few ladys from the agency, also getting help from the support office, is been absolutily fantastic, I am now ready to make a visit to Lutsk, Poltava, to see some of the ladys I have been in comunication. I am confident I will find my future wife, excelente agency well run business.
Thank you for this happines you brougth to my life.
I have just a arived back from Ukraine. This was definatley the best trip that I have ever taken.
The ladies in Lutsk are wthout a doubt the most beautiful in the world. The lady that I met is beautiful, intelligent, friendly, a real dream to be with. Every moment with her was like being in the best dream ever, and I did not want to wake up. It was a huge shame when I had to leave, I will be going back as soon as I can arrange it.
It is so worthwhile to do this. I might be repeating what others have already said, but GET ON THE PLANE NOW!!!! It is worth it, it is a trip that you will never forget or regret.
Huge thanks to all the guys in Lutsk, and I look forward to seeing you again.
Thomas: Now Life is Complete!
I am happy to announce Elena C and my engagement. We made this lifelong committment to spend our lives together on my second trip to Kharkov. I feel CC is an excellent match making agency and it feels like being with good family. Olga has been the key to this match and continues to exceed our expectations in every way. Another successful love story, please include our photo of our best day so far!
I want to say thank you to yourself, Alex, Elena and Julia for all your help during my stay there in Poltava. I had a really good time and enjoyed learning about your city and all the pretty ladies there. It is unfortunate that Elena did not work out for me after all the time I had spent writing her letters. However, I sincerely wish to thank you for introducing me to Oksana. I think there is almost certain to be a good relationship between us and very likely even marriage.
My accomidations were very good and the hotel staff was very nice and considerate to me. The food was good and the wine excellent. In short I really enjoyed my time there and enjoyed getting to know you all. Julia was a very helpful guide on my tours of the Fire Department so please let her know how much I appreciated her help.
Take care and good luck with Helen.
Jack: I want to say that office in Zaporozhye is hard working... My appluse to them!
It is incredible the amount of time and effer that Helena and the other staff members have put into making my stay here meaningful and enjoyable. I didnot know what to expect to get when I arrived here but from the time I arrived at the Airport, the drive here, and my stay at the Hotel I have had nothing the best service.
I met a lady on my first night here named Natalia. She and I have had such great chymistry together that we have decided to be married. WE are both so much inlove with each other that it is scary at times. You could call it 'fate' or 'Provadence', or what ever but the very same things I am thinking she is to. I have never been so happy in my whole life as now. If it were Posible we would be married right away, but we have both agreed that to spend our lives away from each other would be absolutely too painful and lonely. So we are making arrangements for my next vist to be near the New Year and the Ukrainian Christmas.
I want to say that this office in Zaporozhye is hard working and deserves the best that can be given to them for their work in the plans they have helped Natalia and I to make or meeting and engagement a succesful one. My appluse to them.
I will do all I can to assist them in the future.
Goro: I wish a very good success and keep continue on good service.
Thank you so much of you and your staff's help. I enjoyed very much while I was in Kharkov. Ms. Olga was so professionally help me out to arrange for the next movement. Because of her help, we (Goro and Victoria) were engaged. We love each others very much and she starts transaction to move to U.S.A. as soon as her paper work is done. I am coming back to see her in December. Ms Olga knows what to do and where to go for next arrangement and movement. I also had a meeting with Victoria's family and they are very nice families with warm welcomed to me. I wish a very good success and keep continue on good service. I put our picture on my profile so you can post it on your site with this letter.
Again, thank you so much for your good work.
David: I can't tell you how much it means to me.
Please send the following message to the staff at the Zaporozhye office. Hi Ladies, You made me feel so welcome that it didn't seem like a business at all. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
Dear Support Center STAFF: Thank you for your continued excellence and astute diligence in ferriting out the problems inherent in the questions and/or comments made, and for arriving at solutions that in my view are most fair, honest, and honorable.
Thank YOU for continuing to make CC the best Marriage Agency anywhere. Lastly, though exceedingly far from being the least in importance, by any means whatsoever, I continue my pursuit of finding that one beautiful (heart and soul!!!) Ukrainian Lady who is my soulmate, and with whom I will make a complete and thorough life, marriage and family, of course, as mine and my future wife's goal. It is only a matter of time, but, at present, and with the Ladies with whom I am in contact, it seems that that bond may already be beginning to formulate--I sure hope so. Thank YOU Maria, Sergey, Yura and all the others with whom I have not as yet had the pleasure of having made your acquaintance, and working together with.
I have been writing ladies from other web-sites and was hooked into a scam by several of the ladies. I found CC by acciedent on day while looking for a web-site to report these scammers. If I had have known about CC from the beginning I would not have lost so much money.
I have found the lady I am communicating with now to be very much the real McCoy. Even when I sent her Pressents she did not wish me to think of her correspondence with me to be for the gifts. We have shared our inner souls even before I am able to come see her in September or October. I will need your special watchful care over me during that time as I am in a wheelchair, and have some extra needs. My Lady knows about my situation and it has not effected our relationship one bit.
You have been good to me so far and I know you will meet my requirements for assistance when I come.
I understand you wish to hear my impressions of the Poltava branch. So I would wish you to know I find them very impressive and helpful to me. Bogdan is professional and very easy to deal with but also he is friendly and I know he is watching out for me. And the other translators and I are enjoying going out to dinners with my ladies and doing their very best to speak our ideas and thoughts clearly even though Russian and English can be very different at times to make compatible. I have even begun to talk some decent Russian myself, and have wandered around the city and even gone to the main market to buy things. I really like the Ukrainian people, they are so very friendly and just seem to be easy to be with.
So in conclusion I want to say I am enjoying myself greatly and the Poltava branch is very well run in my opinion.
Jim: I would say to all the	people thinkink of taking a trip to the Ukraine to do it!
I have just returned from my trip to Simferopol. Everything was as written by others on this site. I was greeted at the airport by Zarina and my interpretor Rasul and the women of my dreams Angelica. They took me to the hotel and got me settled in. Then it turned out to be Zarinas Birthday and she invited me to celebrate it with her and her family. I was so impressed!! I spent 10 days getting to know Angelica and explored all of Crimea.
Rasul was a godsent. He knew perfect English and really helped in my times of need. I would say to all the people thinkink of taking a trip to the Ukraine to do it. The women are so friendly and sincere. I also think that the services you provided were excellent. I can't wait to retun!!
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help!!!!
in Sumy, Oksana and I were engaged while I was on my trip!!!
Who would I write to about getting a visa for Oksana to come to the USA, I wrote to the laywer CC has on there site but I have a problem. His web site says I need pictures of Oksana and me together to prove we have meet. Although I have video and pictures of my trip we didn`t get any pictures of us together, we never thought of this and did not know we would need them. Is there someone at CC that I could write to that could help us with this? Again I want to thank you for your help!!!!!!!

Tax residents in Portugal and the application of non-habitual residents - Balance of 10 years of experience
The non-habitual residents' regime, in force since 2009, has surely taken led to many people deciding to take up residence in Portugal. From a tax perspective, this scheme offers a very high efficiency whether for professionals working in the certain areas of expertise, or for pensioners who decide to stay here for a few years. For everyone, it is advisable to obtain prior legal advice on applicable tax and compliance with tax obligations in Portugal.
Portugal has been affirmed, in recent years, as a country capable of attracting numerous tourists, but also people who to set up their residence. The temperate climate, landscape diversity and tourist contribute undoubtedly contribute to this, but also security, the fact that it offers interesting opportunities and a highly qualified population.
One of the objectives of Decree-Law no. 249/2009 of 23 September, which introduced the tax regime for Non-Habitual Residents (NHR), on income tax, was to create "a new competitive spirit of the Portuguese economy, which aims at stimulating the national economy and the Portuguese business fabric".
In this sense, with the objectives of boosting the Portuguese economy and attracting investment, special tax regime applicable to NHR, it has sought to attract non-resident professionals to the Country who were qualified employees in "high added value activities" (according to the list attached to Decree no. 12/2010 of 7 January), investors with high income and beneficiaries of pensions obtained abroad.
Click here to get a free budget for legal and tax advice on the
Non habitual Residence Regime in Portugal
We highlight below the major features of tax scheme:
• Net income of categories A (income from employment) and B (Business and professional income) from "high added value activities" are taxed at 20%.
• The possibility of tax exemption on income from a foreign source, such as income from employed and self-employed work, property, capital gains, interest, dividends as well as other capital income, provided that certain conditions have been met.
• Taxpayers that acquire NHR status will be taxed as such for a period of 10 years, after which they will be taxed in accordance with general rules of the IRS Code.
• This 10-year period is designed as a maximum period for the benefit and not as a condition for its allocation. This means that the NHR can benefit from this special arrangement for three or for years and, if due to personal or professional issues, they decide to return to their country of origin or transfer their residence to another country, they shall not loose the benefit for prior years in Portugal.
In accordance with our expertise on this regime, arising from extensive tax advice that we have provided to numerous clients, of various nationalities, granting of NHR status has fulfilled the objectives that the legislator intended when it introduced the scheme – increased investment in Portugal and attracting qualified people, because there have been many and the increasing number in foreigners that, attracted by this scheme, seek our services aimed at setting themselves up in Portugal and setting up their businesses in Portugal.
In this success, much has been contributed by the fact that the awarding of the NHR status procedure is defined in quite objective terms, not allowing the Tax Authority to exercise a discretionary power in granting the status. Once the requirements have been complied with, it is necessary to analyse what will be the tax framework of diverse expected income, to be earned in the following years (considering their respective sources) and, with legal security, apply for the classification as an NHR.
At this time, it can be safely stated that the scheme is already consolidated in the Portuguese legal system, without envisaging the political intention to introduce changes to it (the possibility of any changes being made was postulated, but there have been no drafts in this regard).
The existence of this scheme, coupled to the absence of Tax on Portugal on Inheritances and Donations (at least between spouses and between ascendants and descendants), in fact makes Portugal an interesting country to reside in.
Regarding the implications in Spain arising from the transfer of residence to Portugal, we highlight the legal obligations to inform the Spanish tax authorities of the change.
In the specific case of Spain, it shall also be considered income from the Spanish source, which will continue to be earned following to the transfer of residence, whether these be income from work or others, such as interest from bank accounts situated in the Spanish territory, income from property situated in Spanish territory, among others.
While tax residents in Spain are taxed on income obtained worldwide, non-tax residents in Spain who have earned income in that country will only be taxed for that income from a Spanish source. In this case, the provisions of the Convention to prevent Double Taxation between Portugal and the country concerned must be analysed, in order to conclude on the concept of tax residence as well as the tax competence assigned to the state of source of the income earned.
In the specific case of workers posted from Spain to Portugal by the employer, a detailed case-by-case and in-depth analysis is required specialist tax law attorney, to comply with all tax obligations and contributions inherent in the transfer.
In this case, as in others, it is important to also analyse the existence of real estate assets or maintenance of economic interests centre in Spain, which may lead to that country considering maintaining the competence to tax the income of the people who have come to live in Portugal. Another aspect to be taken into consideration, in relation to persons who previously resided in Spain or France, is Exit Tax, a situation that should be analysed in detail.
The Tax Law Department of BELZUZ ADVOGADOS has experienced attorneys who are available to provide assistance on this theme.

La Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Soria, es un centro público de referencia para los Estudios Superiores de Diseño Gráfico en Castilla y León, que imparte enseñanzas de Bachillerato Artístico, Ciclo Superior de Fotografía y Ciclo Formativo de Grado Medio en Asistente al Producto Gráfico Interactivo.

Es una escuela en constante transformación, adaptando las enseñanzas artísticas a las reformas educativas, estructurales y tecnológicas de nuestra sociedad, donde tan importante es hoy la comunicación visual.

Historia

El 14 de enero de 1906, se inaugura la Escuela de Artes y Oficios en el salón de actos de la Casa Consistorial de la capital, con la asistencia de las principales autoridades entre las que figuraban el representante de Soria en las Cortes, Luis de Marichalar, vizconde de Eza y el alcalde Ramón de la Orden.

El interés por la creación de este tipo de centros educativos surge durante el siglo XIX por la educación de los artesanos y obreros, y poder al mismo tiempo propagar las industrias artísticas.

Las primeras clases se impartían en un local situado en un caserón viejo, interior, con entrada por un patio donde aparcaban coches debido a que tenían acceso algunas cocheras, almacenes y un taller. Se solicita reiteradamente el cambio de ubicación.

En 1950 se cambia la ubicación de la escuela a un local en la Plaza de Aguirre nº 6, que tampoco contaba con una infraestructura adecuada.

En enero de 1957, el Ayuntamiento de Soria cede al Ministerio de Educación Nacional una parcela, denominada "Pradillo", situada en la Plaza Tirso de Molina para la construcción de un edificio destinado a la Escuela de Artes.

El 18 de noviembre de 1963 es inaugurada la Escuela de Artes y Oficios con la asistencia del Ministro de Educación, Manuel Lora Tamayo acompañado de otras autoridades. El edificio ha sufrido cambios y remodelaciones para adaptarlo a las necesidades que las nuevas enseñanzas demandaban y dotarlo con el equipamiento y materiales adecuados, con el apoyo y estímulo de la Dirección Provincial de Educación.

Copying or moving databases

There are two issues with copying or moving databases: database page log
sequence numbers (LSNs), and database file identification strings.

Because database pages contain references to the database environment
log records (LSNs), databases cannot be copied or moved from one
transactional database environment to another without first clearing the
LSNs.  Note that this is not a concern for non-transactional database
environments and applications, and can be ignored if the database is not
being used transactionally.  Specifically, databases created and written
non-transactionally (for example, as part of a bulk load procedure), can
be copied or moved into a transactional database environment without
resetting the LSNs.  The database's LSNs may be reset in one of three
ways: the application can call the DB_ENV->lsn_reset() method to reset the
LSNs in place, or a system administrator can reset the LSNs in place
using the -r option to the db_load utility, or by
dumping and reloading the database (using the db_dump utility and the db_load utility).

Because system file identification information (for example, filenames,
device and inode numbers, volume and file IDs, and so on) are not
necessarily unique or maintained across system reboots, each Berkeley DB
database file contains a unique 20-byte file identification bytestring.
When multiple processes or threads open the same database file in Berkeley DB,
it is this bytestring that is used to ensure the same underlying pages
are updated in the database environment cache, no matter which Berkeley DB
handle is used for the operation.

The database file identification string is not a concern when moving
databases, and databases may be moved or renamed without resetting the
identification string.  However, when copying a database, you must
ensure there are never two databases with the same file identification
bytestring in the same cache at the same time.  Copying databases is
further complicated because Berkeley DB caches do not discard cached database
pages when database handles are closed.  Cached pages are only discarded
when the database is removed by calling the DB_ENV->remove() or
DB->remove() methods.

Before physically copying a database file, first ensure that all
modified pages have been written from the cache to the backing database
file.  This is done using the DB->sync() or DB->close() methods.

Before using a copy of a database file in a database environment, you
must ensure that all pages from any other database with the same
bytestring have been removed from the memory pool cache.  If the
environment in which you will open the copy of the database has pages
from files with identical bytestrings to the copied database, there are
a few possible solutions:

Remove the environment, either using system utilities or by calling the
DB_ENV->remove() method.  Obviously, this will not allow you to access
both the original database and the copy of the database at the same
time.

    Create a new file that will have a new bytestring.  The simplest way to
    create a new file that will have a new bytestring is to call the
    db_dump utility to dump out the contents of the database and then use the
    db_load utility to load the dumped output into a new file.  This allows you
    to access both the original and copy of the database at the same time.

    If your database is too large to be dumped and reloaded, you can copy
    the database by other means, and then reset the bytestring in the
    copied database to a new bytestring.  There are two ways to reset the
    bytestring in the copy: the application can call the DB_ENV->fileid_reset()
    method, or a system administrator can use the -r option to the db_load utility.  This allows you
    to access both the original and copy of the database at the same time.

Mangwonjeong and praying for rain
One of my favorite sanctuaries in Seoul from the summer heat is Mangwonjeong. It is a beautiful pavilion nestled along the Han River that enjoys cool breezes from the river, shade from the tall trees and relative solitude from the teeming masses - despite the highway running directly in front of it. It is also easily accessible by bike.
Giuseppe Santori: An Italian castaway on Jeju (Part 5)
The violent typhoon that claimed the Bianca Pertica also claimed at least three other ships in the vicinity of Jeju Island - two Japanese junks and the Barbara Taylor, a 352-ton British schooner with a crew of 12. The schooner, bound for Vladivostok with a cargo of tea from Shanghai, had its sails blown away by the typhoon on September 20, 1878.
On September 20, 1878, the Bianca Pertica, an Italian barque, was destroyed in a powerful typhoon. Only five men managed to get into a lifeboat but over the next couple of days, one by one, they began to die.
For the five survivors of the Bianca Pertica, the lifeboat they managed to clamber into was nothing but a tenuous sanctuary. The wind howled around them, driving the rain like daggers into their exposed flesh and the towering waves crashed over and over on the small boat, threatening to sink it.
Morning came but it did not bring relief. The men had managed to survive the night and, for the most part, the swamped ship had been pumped out. The storm, however, continued to rage.
On the morning of September 18, 1878, the 666-ton Italian barque Bianca Pertica, filled with coal, left Nagasaki bound for Hong Kong. The weather seemed ideal for sailing - a light breeze from the east filled the ship's sails and conveyed it through the calm waters at a lively pace.
Showing the flag in 1888
In the 19th century, American warships often visited Jemulpo [modern Incheon]. Usually their presence was benign - training and resupplying - but other times the ships visited with the intent on showing the flag to bolster the morale of the small American population and to signify the American government's willingness to protect its citizens.

On July 4, 1896, the American legation compound was the center of attention in Seoul. The Sino-Japanese War had recently ended and John Sill, the American Minister to Korea, and his wife, Sally, were determined to host the largest Fourth of July celebration ever held in Korea.
A life of hate and conflict: The mysterious Bilbroughs (part 4)
Gertrude Bilbrough hated Americans and missionaries, which was unfortunate for her as they made up most of the Western population in Wonsan when she first arrived. But her hatred wasn't confined just to Westerners.

The mysterious Bilbroughs (part 2)
When Gertrude Bilbrough arrived in Wonsan in the summer of 1899, excitement undoubtedly swept through the handful of Western women in that port. Gertrude was an elderly woman - she just turned 60 - and contrasted greatly with the American and Canadian missionary women. She was British and proper - a lady of social status and means - whereas the young missionaries came from hu...

E-bike also known as electric bikes are gaining tremendous popularity among every age of people as it enables them to ride around the city in this technologically advanced mode of transport. It is far better than its counterparts as it works with a touch of a button and helps in powering up the pedal to any speed as you have the option of determining your speed. It can also be called an electric revolution that is achieved with the use of this power assisted cycling as you can use e-bikes for your everyday commute rather than using public transport for work. But there are things that you should not do with an e-bike as it can also be dangerous if you don't take necessary safety measures and precautions. Click the link to the full article.
Electric bikes are fast becoming an important mode of transportation for a large number of individuals including students and working professionals as it allows them to ride an environmentally friendly option. This electrically assisted pedal cycle has been transforming the way individuals are commuting every day since its invention as it is the most fun, practical and economical way of getting around. These electric bikes are specially designed keeping in mind the different people as well as the varying purposes of using this mode of transport as it offers the highest level of comfort to use and can be used on flat as well as hilly areas.
Do not ride on high speeds- using this electric bike can be a very attractive option but you should not apply high speed as it can be hazardous for your life because you might injure yourself or meet with an accident.
Don't apply too much throttle- another danger is that you should not apply too much throttle from the dead stop so that you will have complete control over the e-bike. Moreover, you should avoid using the throttle while you are moving and you also need to select the power level so that you will not face any issues while driving the e-bike.
Older people should avoid using e-bike- another important thing that you should not do with an e-bike is that if you are over a certain age limit, then you should avoid using this mode of transportation as it can result in fatal injuries and accidents in extreme cases. Moreover, it has also need to be seen that elderly people lack the ability to use the e-bikes in the desired manner eventually leading to accidents and death of people that have been reported for users over the age of 60 years.

Top Ten Tuesday | Ten Songs We Love
September 20, 2016 September 19, 2016 / Sam
This week's topic is All About Audio, and because we love music as much as the next person, we thought we'd tell you about ten songs we love at the moment – it changes a lot, because we are rather obsessive personalities (surprise!), and are somehow always compelled to listen to a new song we love over and over until we grow tired of it.
Shall we?
1. "I'm So Sorry", Imagine Dragons
This is one of the very few songs that we discovered a while back and still listen and sing along to every time. It makes us feel badass and awesome, and walking down the street listening to it is just a great feeling.
2. "Castle", Halsey
That woman has a lot of fantastic songs! Her voice, the rhythm and the text make this song perfect for feeling like a badass, kickass fantasy warrior princess about to take down an empire. It also fits perfectly to A Court of Mist and Fury, so we both listened to it about a gazillion times after finishing the book.
3. The Game of Thrones Main Title by Ramin Djawadi
Because it's epic and has a tendency to get stuck in our heads at random moments, making us hum in public to out us as the freaks we are, which is always fun!
4. "Up in Flames", Ruelle
Again, it just makes us feel badass.
5. "World On Fire", Les Friction
This one's just powerful and epic – and someone made a great Supernatural video with it!
Link to video (because apparently I'm too stupid to put it here directly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQBJwATuTsg
6. "I See Fire", Ed Sheeran
Not only is it, in our eyes, the best song ever written for a movie, it's also beautiful and fantastic, and even after all these years since we first heard it during the credits of Desolation of Smaug, we can still listen to in, and somehow it always ends up being stuck on repeat.
7. "Victory Over The Sun", Biffy Clyro
I have no idea what it is about this song, but it's amazing. Although I sometimes tire of it, I can still listen to it after a period of time, and remember times in New Zealand when we heard it too often, because we only had limited music, and had a fence to paint. Oh, the nostalgia of freezing weather, the nicest host family anyone could ever wish for, and the smell of paint stuck to our hair!
8. "Arsonist's Lullaby", Hozier
It played at the end of an episode of Teen Wolf, and I really can't put my finger on what it is about this song, but it is also one of those I love, then hate because I've listened to it too often, only to then return to it after a while. "Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep 'em on a leash", right?
9. "The Hanging Tree", James Newton Howard & Jennifer Lawrence
When I read the lyrics in Mockingjay, I was not impressed, but my God, Jennifer Lawrence and James Newton Howard manage to give me goosebumps every time! It's powerful in the simplest way, beautiful and sad but epic, and Jennifer Lawrence's voice just perfect for it. What can't that woman do?!
10. "You Don't Own Me", Grace ft. G-Eazy
Anyone who's seen Suicide Squad would recognize this song, although it's not exactly the version used in the movie. I like this one better, though; which is mostly due to the fact that my search for the soundtrack spat it out, and it wasn't until I watched the movie for a second time that I realized it wasn't the same. But by then, I had already listened to it too many times to change it to the "right" one. So yeah.

The Latest: Croatia holds 3 Brits over migrant smuggling
Published Mon Nov 04 2019 17:00:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
ROME (AP) — The Latest on Europe's migrant crisis (all times local):
Police in Croatia have detained three British citizens for allegedly smuggling migrants, saying one of the men also tried to run over a Croatian police officer.
A statement says police on Saturday approached a 31-year-old British man in a parked car near Slovenia's border when he suddenly sped toward one of the officers who jumped aside to avoid being hit.
The man was arrested shortly after. Police said Monday he was linked to two other British citizens who also on Saturday night tried to transport over the border a number of foreign citizens in a van.
In neighboring Slovenia, police say they have apprehended nine people from various countries for people smuggling and recorded a total of 150 attempted illegal border crossings since last Wednesday.
Cyprus police say 131 Syrian migrants have reached the east Mediterranean island nation aboard a boat.
Cypriot authorities tracked the migrants' 20-meter (65-foot) craft early Monday off the island's northwestern coastline.
A marine police vessel was dispatched to escort it to a harbor where the 118 men, nine minors and four women disembarked.
The migrants will be taken to a reception center on the capital Nicosia's outskirts.
Cyprus' northern coastline is at its closest around 40 miles (65 kilometers) from Turkey's southern coast.
Cypriot officials say most migrants arriving on Cyprus depart from Turkey.
The Greek government's decision to transfer migrants from the overcrowded eastern Aegean islands to the mainland has been met with some resistance.
Local residents, in two instances, tried unsuccessfully to prevent migrants from being housed in hotels in northern Greece.
An anti-migrant march in the northern city of Thessaloniki on Sunday drew just 100 extreme rightists while a counter-demonstration of anarchists drew a slightly larger crowd.
Migrants who had arrived by military transport from the island of Lesbos to a port near Athens on Saturday had to wait hours in buses in order to be able to finally sleep at designated hotels whose owners have agreed to lodge the migrants.
The migrants had been driven in buses for a distance of more than 500 kilometers (310 miles) to reach their destinations in northern Greece.
A court in North Macedonia has ordered a 30-day pre-trial custody for three Pakistani nationals, suspected of human trafficking and cruelty to migrants.
The Skopje's prosecutor office announced Sunday they have opened a probe against three Pakistanis and one Macedonian national for organizing the illegal transfer of migrants and abusing them. The Macedonian national, owner of the house, was placed under house arrest.
Police raided a house in the village of Vaksince, near the northern border with Serbia, on Friday and found 12 migrants from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, including two minors. They acted on a tip from Serbian police who had been alerted by a friend of the migrants that they were being beaten and asked to pay 1,300 euros ($1,450) each to the smugglers for transfer across the border.
An Italian offshore supply vessel has brought 151 migrants to Sicily after rescuing them in waters off Libya a day earlier.
The Asso Trenta docked Sunday at Pozzallo with the migrants. It wasn't immediately known if they would stay in Italy or be distributed among other European Union countries.
Hours earlier, a German charity's rescue boat, Alan Kurdi, had disembarked 88 migrants at Taranto on the Italian mainland. Under an EU-brokered deal, 67 of them will go to four other countries, while the others will stay in Italy.
A Taranto official, Gabriella Ficocelli, told the Italian news agency ANSA the migrants included five unaccompanied minors who were "tired and tried by the voyage." They disembarked eight days after being rescue in the Mediterranean Sea from Libyan-based traffickers' unseaworthy vessels.

The little girl

1. The little girl
I'd like to tell you a story. A story about a little girl who grew up with a heart that was more fragile than a balloon.
In kindergarten she was the happiest kid, always playing around at the playground and always behind the plot of the game everyone wanted to play. She was bright and cheerful. But it didn't last forever; she had to start school. At the age of 5 she was at her new school at her very first day. Her best friend from kindergarten, Marie was in the same class as her. Now, you see, the little girl was used to feeling safe, she felt secure back in kindergarten – knew every face, every little corner and every leave of every tree. In her first day she and the other students had to present themselves, just say a couple of words. Everyone spoke, talked for long and laughed while they did. But the little girl she didn't say anything, she was scared. When it was her turn she started crying. Everyone was looking at her, but she couldn't get a word out – not in front of all of them. The teacher took her hand, asked her if she was nervous, and the little girl nodded. So they continued while the little girl watched but did not speak, like a wallflower.
The next day at school the kids were paired up to talk about themselves and what they would like to learn while in school. But the little girl wasn't paired up with Marie, the only person at school she could talk with, and she broke down crying again. It was like she was blocked and couldn't speak, no word could get out. She was so ashamed and embarrassed she couldn't stop crying, even both of the teachers couldn't calm her down.
What was going on? She could talk and play the silliest games with Marie, she could laugh and joke around at home with her parents, but in school she shut down.
As the years went on she quickly learned how to read and write. She was still as quiet in school and the teachers kept telling her parents that she had to speak. Only more expectations and pressure was to come. But the little girl was scared. No matter how old she got she was still as fragile as a little girl.
How is she now? She's in front of the screen writing this. She has a depression, an eating disorder, she self-harms and she's lonely.
Because, you see, the little girl was and still is: me.

Tributes are paid to Hamilton swimming coach Robert Fitzgerald

Tributes have been paid after a stalwart of the Hamilton swimming scene passed away.
Robert Fitzgerald, fondly known as 'Mr Fitz' was a member of Hamilton Baths ASC for almost 40 years. He coached right up until his death at 83.
He was so fondly remembered that condolences have been received by the club from as far away as Australia and China.
Mr Fitzgerald was said to be able to recognise individual swimmers from their stroke technique.
Hamilton Baths head coach Ann O'Neill, who said the club were "devastated" by the news, led the tributes.
She said: "Bob began helping at the swimming club as a parent helper, Scottish Swimming official, and then as a coach to our young people.
"He has successfully coached every young swimmer in our club for almost all of that time and, without his input, we would not have the success we have today.
"His ability to coach technique is recognised throughout the West of Scotland. One official commented recently that he always recognised a Hamilton swimmer in a competition because of their stroke technique.
"Bob coached for 11 hours per week and, at the age of 83 years, that is amazing.
"He was the backbone of our swimming club, and many parents bring their children to us because they had a great experience as part of Bob's groups when they were young.
"The club recognised his value too, and Bob is a Life Member, an award we only give to people who serve the club with distinction."
Ann continued: "Bob supported and mentored our young coaches, and enabled them to have the confidence and expertise to coach young people towards their achievements.
"He was recognised three years ago for his achievements by both South Lanarkshire Council and sportscotland.
"Our young people have gained success at British, Scottish, West District and local level, and have achieved many medals, which all honour the great work that Bob has done for the club.
"Swimming is not just about the medals, though, and many young people gain success and confidence through their sport.
"Bob nurtured these youngsters, so that they become confident individuals, who show respect to others and who take responsibility for their own development.
"They are resilient and caring individuals, the kind of people who one day may contribute positively to our society.
"Bob was a caring individual, who selflessly worked to develop others. Hundreds of people have been touched by his humour, kindness and passion for helping people, particularly our younger generation."
Bob's funeral will be held at South Lanarkshire Crematorium on Saturday, January 4, at 10.15am.
