Know about Iraqi president's speech at the General Assembly
President Salih delivered a speech, which has been made in a video format due to the spread of COVID-19, to mark the 75th anniversary of the United Nations on the sidelines of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly.
" Our national project is to establish the competent State which is capable of imposing law and fulfilling its citizens' rights. We do not want Iraq to be an arena for conflicts and for others to settle their disputes on its lands," the President stated. " Sovereign and independent Iraq will be a meeting point for the common interests of the area's peoples and countries and a starting point for a regional system which is based on economic cooperation and mutual security in facing terrorism and extremism."
Furthermore, he said that corruption is the political economy of violence and terrorism; and he reiterated his call, which has been made last year through the General Assembly, to form international coalition, which is like the international coalition against terrorism, to stamp out corruption in addition to recover the looted funds.
Moreover, the President highlighted that, the popular movement stemmed from the desire to make a change in the country which suits the ambitions of all Iraqis; and there is an increasing acknowledgement that the current position will not continue; and a new government has been formed in response to the large popular movement which demands reform, where many tasks in conducting reforms remain ahead.
Among the basic tasks of the government is to work to carry out early elections next year, which will be integral and transparent, according to a new law and by fairer and wider representation; and arms need to be restricted in the hands of the State; and the crimes of killing the protestors and security forces' personnel should be investigated, he noted.
His Excellency the President asserted that facing outlaw groups and restricting uncontrolled arms, is the State's conflict with the forces of chaos and extremism.
The latest statement by the supreme religious cleric Sayyid Ali Alsistani, which has been issued after His Eminence received the representative of the United Nations Secretary General in Iraq, has expressed clearly such required tasks to reform the ongoing political process in the country and make it free of corruption and defects, he stated.
He emphasized that Iraq has already achieved military success in defeating terrorism and liberating our cities by the strength of the will of our people and by the sacrifices of our armed forces, the Army, the Popular Mobilization Forces, the Peshmerga, as well as by supporting International Coalition and our neighbors States, but the war continues against the terrorism and extremism.
He confirmed the we must look back on the genocides and crimes which occurred against the Yazidis; A few days ago, I met with Yazidi women citizens and Shiite and Shabak Turkmen who managed to survive the brutality of terrorism and its horrendous crimes; and these ladies are still facing psychological and physical suffering due to the genocide.
The President added that there is a need for international solidarity to roll back coronavirus, and it is necessary for the advanced countries to help developing countries in addressing the outbreak; and it is essential to have an early planning to ensure that vaccine is distributed equally when being available.
We have to take into account reduction of the commercial nature of its marketing so that the world's poorest nations can get the vaccine for all citizens.
President Salih's speech is as the following:
In the name of Allah most gracious, most merciful
Mr. Secretary General,
Your Majesties, Excellences and Highnesses,
Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon all of you.
It is my pleasure to greet you on behalf of the Republic of Iraq, a founding member of the United Nations, and I wish the General Assembly every success in its current session.
This is the first time in the history of the United Nations that the General Assembly is being held virtually. It is an event that encapsulates what we face in addressing COVID-19, a cross-border danger that continues to threaten our lives, how we live, our economy and our societies in general.
This virtual meeting is a genuine reflection of the fundamental changes that have taken place to our way of life and how we communicate with each other.
It is perhaps a paradox that we are meeting and conversing while we are forced to socially distance. The pandemic has forced us to isolate ourselves, but we continue to communicate out of the desire to work and live our lives.
The continued threat of COVID-19 to any city or village on our planet is a threat to the whole world.
And that underscores the importance of boosting common purpose between states and societies, in all their forms, in order to eliminate the virus or at least reduce the damage that it causes.
It also reinforces the importance of cooperation of all among the advanced nations to share the necessary expertise and information to confront the pandemic, as well as the importance of advanced countries helping developing states to create a health environment that is capable of confronting the virus and preventing its damage to life and to societies.
We must all also combat falsehoods about the virus, as ignorance and the spread of fake news threatens the lives of millions. We also note the importance of early planning to ensure that a vaccine is distributed fairly when it becomes available. We should work to reduce the costs of the vaccine, so that all the citizens of the world's poorest nations can access it.
We in Iraq have worked with the resources available to us, which are limited due to our circumstances, to confront the epidemic and to reduce its impact through a series of appropriate measures and precautions recommended by the World Health Organization. Despite that, we have much to do despite our limited healthcare resources and our weak healthcare infrastructure.
Both before and after the pandemic appeared, Iraq faced a plague no less serious and dangerous to the world: terrorism and corruption.
We have successfully defeated terrorism and liberated our cities, and did so through the power of our popular will, the sacrifices of the Army, the Popular Mobilization Forces, and the Peshmerga, and with the support of the international coalition and our neighbors.
But the war against cross-border terrorism and extremism continues, with sleeper cells lying dormant here and there in the deserts of our land.
We cannot underestimate the dangers of the return of terrorist groups and the reconstitution of its remnants; any languor, complacency, or distraction with regional conflicts will allow terrorism to reemerge.
Similarly, complacency in confronting rampant corruption and interference in the sovereignty of our state will hamper efforts to combat terrorism and extremism.
In this context, we hope that our friends in the international community will support us in tracking funds that have been stolen from the state and smuggled abroad by corrupt officials, in many cases to finance illegal extremist groups. Corruption is a scourge that many countries suffer from, and it has robbed Iraqis of the fruits of their country's resources; indeed, it has helped to destroy them for many years. Iraqis feel angry and bitter about the ongoing corruption in their country.
On this basis, I called last year at the general assembly for the formation of an international coalition, similar to the international coalition against terrorism, to stamp out corruption and recover the looted funds.
Today, I repeat this call. Terrorism cannot be eliminated unless we drain its financing and end corruption, the political economy of violence, and which has devastated state economies and thwarted the progress and prosperity that our citizens deserve.
We must reflect on the genocide and the massacres suffered by the Yazidis in our country, which aimed to wipe them off the map. The international community must stand up and help Iraq to prevent the recurrence of such crimes.
A few days ago, I met with Yazidi, Shiite, Shabak and Turkmen women who survived the brutality and horrendous crimes of terrorism. I listened to the painful suffering that they still endure more than three years after the complete liberation of their cities. These women still face immense psychological and physical suffering due to the genocide, displacement, and the mental and physical torture that they endured. Some of them are still living in camps.
We must do all it takes to return the displaced and refugees to their cities and villages. This will require support for our efforts from our friends around the world and from international organizations.
Iraq is burdened by the legacy of over forty years of wars, conflict, sanctions and terrorism. As is the case with other countries, it has suffered this year from the collapse of international oil prices and the fallout from the economic crisis that COVID brought about. The simultaneous energy and economic downturns have had grave effects, which left us facing unexpected challenges.
It has been almost a year since Iraq witnessed popular demonstrations borne of Iraqis' desire to bring about change in their country.
This movement includes a vital discussion about the foundations of the state, how it should be governed and what people's rights are.
The reform process in the country has begun, but it needs time and effort to deliver the outcome that is demanded by the people. The steps which we have taken along the way illustrate the possibility of bringing about peaceful and constitutional change without violence; this is what Iraqis want. In response to this large popular movement demanding reform, a new government was formed this year, led by Mr. Mustafa Al-Kadhimi.
I can say, in light of Iraq's experience since it overcame tyranny, that there is an increasing acknowledgement that the existing situation cannot persist. Iraqis seek a new political compact that addresses the latent structural deficiencies of the post-2003 order, and delivers them good governance.
In responding to popular demands, the government faces a huge set of responsibilities, primarily delivering the fundamental political, economic and administrative reforms that are called for. And this necessitates fighting corruption and the corrupt -- who are the other face of terrorism.
Among the other basic tasks of the government is to hold free and fair early elections next year, based on a new law that guarantees more balanced and wider representation. We need to respond to the demands of the national popular movement that is striving to establish democracy. We must also meet the legitimate aspirations of Iraqis for a free and dignified life, where they are the paramount authority in their country and have the final say, and where they have a government that represents them, one that delivers on their aspirations and ambitions.
Within this context, the government needs to address another issue that is of no less importance, namely, to restrict arms in the hands of the state, to prevent their illegal possession or use outside state institutions, and to investigate the criminal killing of protestors and security forces' personnel.
Facing down outlawed groups and controlling arms is a battle against the forces of chaos and extremism. It is not an easy task, but one that must be accomplished if we want security for our people and if we want Iraq to have full control over its territory.
The latest statement by the supreme religious cleric His Eminence Sayyid Ali Al Sistani, which was issued after His Eminence received the representative of the United Nations Secretary General in Iraq, clearly expressed the steps necessary to reform the ongoing political process in Iraq and free it from corruption and weakness.
In this context, we look forward to the assistance of the United Nations in coordinating with the Iraq High Electoral Commission and providing technical and monitoring support, in order to guarantee the integrity of the elections and to prevent manipulation, fraud, forgery, extortion, and anything else that influences personal freedom and voter choice.
Our national project is to establish a competent state that is capable of imposing the law and able to deliver the rights of its citizens. We do not want Iraq to be an arena for conflicts and a place for others to settle their disputes.
Iraq has had enough of wars, sanctions, conflict, and terrorism. An independent Iraq that enjoys sovereignty will be a meeting point for the common interests of the Middle East's peoples and countries, and a starting point for a regional system that is based on economic cooperation and mutual security in confronting terrorism and extremism.
We look forward to the active support of our neighbors and the international community in this national project, which will have significant and influential consequences for the future of Iraq, the region and the world.
In this context, Iraq stresses the importance of solving the Palestinian issue and fulfilling the rights of the Palestinian people in an independent state. This will also help to stabilize the region and the world.
I hereby remember our martyrs who sacrificed for freedom by confronting terrorism. I salute our young men and women who every day demonstrate their demand and determination for a dignified and free life. We look to the future through the aspirations of the youth, and their resolve to complete the path towards freedom, rule of law, and justice.
We salute the souls of those who faced martyrdom in the struggle for liberty and the war against terrorism.
We salute to the youths who strive for liberty and prosperity. We see hope, a bright future, rule of law, and justice in their eyes.
Finally, I reiterate my appreciation for the United Nations on its seventy-fifth anniversary. There is no alternative to this organization that gathers us despite our differences, especially as we face challenges that cross the formal borders of states, such as disease, climate change, food security, and migration and the displaced. All these challenges can be addressed through the United Nations and its charter.
Undoubtedly, the international system has failed many times during the last seventy-five years. We remember bitter experiences like the massacres of Rwanda, and the hardships, genocides and crimes that Iraq has suffered. Today, there are ongoing crises in Syria and Libya. We must learn from the lessons of the past, and at the same time extend sustainable development objectives and work seriously on the United Nations' agenda of reform, in order to promote the aspirations of the people of the world.
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen for your kind attention.
Hopefully, soon we will meet together in a safe world free of the Corona virus, and free of the viruses of hatred, corruption, war and terrorism

Hants CC have declared the bridge unsafe. This bridge is crossed by hundreds of children & their carers going to & from the primary & secondary schools. The only alternative route is to go into the middle of the town and out again. Please bring all the pressure you can to bear on the Rights of Way Officer to encourage the quick repair of this vital footpath. I have spoken to Dorothy at HCC this afternoon to stress that as walking to school should be highly encouraged, the council should make mending or replacing this bridge a priority.
From a conversation I had with Cathy Burt (Town Clerk) last night the problem is getting messy in that I believe the bridge needs completely replacing and, because part of the replacement will be in the river/its banks, thew Envirionment Agency has to be involved.
Key questions are to do with Planned Maintenance. Is anything else about to collapse due to heavy use; poor design etc.
Are we going to get high quality, substantial design for our town centre improvements or another high cost mess like the central granite pimple that has cost £6K to repair since it went in ?
I do not pay a lot of tax so I really should not complain and the bridge at the bottom of The Weir seems to be quite sound should I wish to walk by the river.

Q: how can i make a foreach loop to stop and wait for a click then continue? const arr = [object, object, object, object, object]

arr.forEach(x => {
     object.proterty = myFunction();
})

function myFunction() {
  //click something
  //return what you click;
}

my code looks like this, the forEach loop it doesnt wait for the return value from myFunction

A: You can try to wrap it in a promise and than use async/await
like this
const arr = [object, object, object, object, object]

arr.forEach(x => {
     object.proterty = myFunction();
})

function myFunction() {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
     //click something
    const clickedItem = ....
    //resolve what you click;
    resolve(clickedItem)

  })
  }

A: I think a forEach loop is not what you want. A forEach loop is designed to iterate over an Array one time for each element. There is no way to pause a loop besides with throwing an exception.
If you want something like this maybe take a look in the following methods:
Array.prototype.every()
Array.prototype.some()
Array.prototype.find()
Array.prototype.findIndex()

Global Climate Talks: Business as Usual or Progress on Social and Rights Issues?
Governments gathering in Durban in late November for COP17 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) face a daunting task. They will have to make progress on crafting an agreement on greenhouse gas emissions reductions within an effective, monitorable and binding legal framework, while securing the necessary financial resources needed to support developing countries on their path towards low carbon development. The survival of the Kyoto protocol is at stake. Some countries will not support the second commitment period: the United States is advocating for a "pledge and review" system, while other countries propose a broader instrument that would engage both developed and developing countries.

I've jokingly referred to 2015 as "The Year of Weddings." We've just recently hit the eight month marker, and, thus far, the vast majority of my friends from college are now newly married, engaged, or are in relationships that are heading toward marriage. As the year goes on, more join that group. Relationships are forming and solidifying on a near epidemic scale. The single boat is apparently sinking, and most people I know are partnering up and jumping ship.
I thought about this trend this morning as I read 1 Corinthians 7. Here, Paul is instructing the Corinthians concerning marriage. This is the famous (or infamous) chapter where Paul seems to encourage singleness rather than marriage, the same chapter from which the idea of "The Gift of Singleness" (the gift many people wish to return) likely stems. Some, upon reading this text, have concluded that Paul was anti-marriage, arguing that he was either pushing his own way of life upon others or was, at the very least, mistaken in asserting that such a life was better.
To some extent, I can relate to those concerns. In college, a few of us took an online spiritual gifts assessment, and, to our surprise, the results claimed that one of the prominent gifts in our circle of friends was the "Gift of Celibacy." Those who learned that they had this gift were a bit shocked and outraged. Those who learned that they did not have this gift laughed at those who did. Everyone ended up shrugging off that blessing, and the whole thing became an inside joke. Yet the reaction, though comical, was rooted in reality. I don't know many people who enjoy being told that they have the "Gift of Singleness"; I do know many who desire marriage. This makes Paul's words in this text a bit confusing at first glance.
Yet there is something more going on here, something deeper and more profound. Verse 35 is, I think, one of the key verses in this chapter.
What we see here should affect how we read Paul's argument. This shows us that the real concern wasn't marriage itself. Paul wasn't against marriage; he was for devotion to the Lord. His entire outlook centers around a life that is centered around Jesus. When he writes that, "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am" (1 Corinthians 7:8), he is not attempting to keep people from love and companionship, nor is he seeking to make clones of himself. Rather, he recognizes that marriage carries a tremendous responsibility, one demanding time and energy and focus. The unmarried man is free from such responsibility, allowing more time and energy and focus for "the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:32). In Paul's mind, one ought to remain single if he is able in order to devote more of himself to the kingdom of God and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). However, we must remember that Paul was not opposed to marriage. Paul, though promoting the benefits of single life in 1 Corinthians 7, also writes of the beauty of the Gospel message displayed uniquely through marriage in Ephesians 5. The heart of his instruction is the advancement of the kingdom of God in the lives of the saints in every nation.
I think this is what we should be striving for as well. Ultimately, marriage is not an end in itself, nor is singleness. Rather, knowing God and making him known is the ultimate goal, and that can be advanced while single or married. If we are devoted to the Lord, pursuing him above all else, that is enough. Let him lead us to marriage if marriage be his will for us. Let us be content in singleness if he isn't leading elsewhere. In all things, let him get the glory.
Though I joke with my friends a lot, I have truly been impressed with their stories of obedience to God through their relationships. I have seen men and women seek the Lord prior to forming relationships, faithfully examining their hearts to discern whether God is calling them to marry or to remain single. I have seen relationships endure difficulty and pain because of the call of God, the man and the woman faithfully displaying the work of the Gospel as they, though broken people, are enabled to selflessly love each other in the Lord. I have seen engaged couples fight the temptations of the flesh to present themselves to God and to each other as pure, sacrificial servants, trusting in and rejoicing in the faithfulness and goodness of God over the fleeting pleasures of sin. I have seen weddings become places of worship as Jesus is exalted as the ultimate source and object of love, the couple standing back as mere reflections of the great love story. Though I know we still struggle and fall, I see God at work. Though I know there are no perfect relationships, I see sanctification and grace and mercy in these earthly endeavors. And though idolatry and infatuation are ever present vices, I see hearts seeking to love the Lord more than their earthly companions. I see in all things a desire "to promote good order and secure your undivided devotion to the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:35). In that, I rejoice. And I believe Paul would rejoice as well.

Q: AzureML - CLIv2 - Mount Datastore I've created a simple script in order to understand the interaction between AzureML and AzureStorage in AzureML CLIv2.
I would like to download MNIST Dataset and store in on a datastore.
First, i declared my datastore in AzureML :

I've created a very simple script in order to download MNIST Dataset (torchvision) like that :
import os
import argparse
import logging
from torchvision.datasets import MNIST,CIFAR10

def main():
    """Main function of the script."""

    # input and output arguments
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("--dst_dir", type=str, help="Directory where to write data")
    parser.add_argument('--dataset_name',type=str,choices=['MNIST','CIFAR10'])
    args = parser.parse_args()

    print(vars(args))
    root_path = os.path.join(args.dst_dir,args.dataset_name)
    if args.dataset_name=="MNIST":
        print(f"Download {args.dataset_name} => {root_path}")
        data_train=MNIST(root=root_path,train=True,download=True)
        data_test=MNIST(root=root_path,train=False,download=True)
    elif args.dataset_name=="CIFAR10":
        print(f"Download {args.dataset_name} => {root_path}")
        data_train=CIFAR10(root=root_path,train=True,download=True)
        data_test=CIFAR10(root=root_path,train=False,download=True)
    else:
        print("Unknown Dataset......")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

In order to launch the download on the correct datastore, i've created :

*

*An Environment (Working)

*A Compute Cluster (Working)

*An entry script :

from azure.ai.ml import MLClient
from azure.ai.ml import command
from azure.ai.ml import Input, Output
from azure.ai.ml.entities import Environment
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, InteractiveBrowserCredential
from azure.ai.ml.constants import AssetTypes,InputOutputModes
from datetime import datetime

## => CODE to get Environment
## => CODE to get Compute

component_name = f"DataWrapper-{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')}"
print(component_name)
data_wrapper_component = command(
    name=component_name,
    display_name=component_name,
    description="Download a TorchVision Dataset in AzureStorage...",
    inputs={
        "dataset_name":"MNIST",
    },
    outputs={
        "dst_dir":Output(
            type=AssetTypes.URI_FOLDER,
            folder="azureml://datastores/torchvision_data",
            mode=InputOutputModes.RW_MOUNT),
    },
    # The source folder of the component
    code="./code", # On ajoute tout le code folder...
    command="""python components/datawrapper/datawrapper.py \
            --dst_dir ${{outputs.dst_dir}}                  \
            --dataset_name ${{inputs.dataset_name}}
            """,
    compute=cpu_compute_target,
    experiment_name="datawrapper",
    is_deterministic=False,
    environment=f"{pipeline_job_env.name}:{pipeline_job_env.version}"
)

returned_job = ml_client.create_or_update(data_wrapper_component)
aml_url = returned_job.studio_url
print("Monitor your job at", aml_url)

The job is executed correctly, but the datastore is still empty :

I tryed to replace :
folder="azureml://datastores/torchvision_data"

by
path="azureml://datastores/torchvision_data"

but it is not working :

My source documentation are :

*

*https://github.com/Azure/azureml-examples/blob/main/sdk/python/resources/datastores/datastore.ipynb

*https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/azure/machine-learning/how-to-read-write-data-v2?tabs=cli

*https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/azure/machine-learning/how-to-read-write-data-v2?tabs=python#write-data-in-a-job
Did i make something wrong when i mount the output Folder ?
Thanks,

A: I figured out the problem with the help of MS customer Engineers.
In the documentation :

We need to be very careful with the structure of the path :

azureml://datastores/<data_store_name>/paths/<path>

The two part in bold should be filled ! In my case :
Instead of :

azureml://datastores/torchvision-data/

It was necessary to write :

azureml://datastores/torchvision-data/paths/

In order to indicate that i was in the root directory of my datastore.
Then the command becomes :
data_wrapper_component = command(
    name=component_name,
    display_name=component_name,
    description="Download a TorchVision Dataset in AzureStorage...",
    inputs={
        "dataset_name":"MNIST",
    },
    outputs={
        "dst_dir":Output(
            type=AssetTypes.URI_FOLDER,
            path="azureml://datastores/torchvision_data/paths/",
            mode=InputOutputModes.RW_MOUNT),
    },
    # The source folder of the component
    code="./code", # On ajoute tout le code folder...
    command="""python components/datawrapper/datawrapper.py \
            --dst_dir ${{outputs.dst_dir}}                  \
            --dataset_name ${{inputs.dataset_name}}
            """,
    compute=cpu_compute_target,
    experiment_name="datawrapper",
    is_deterministic=False,
    environment=f"{pipeline_job_env.name}:{pipeline_job_env.version}"
)

Hope it will help !

Just a few jokes as a change to utube.
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."
Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"
Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again
Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly......it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.
They do get better. Wait and see.

Nice one Dave, here's a couple more.
A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute refugee claimant
outside the London immigration offices.
'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been told to grant you three wishes,
since you just arrived in England with your wife and three children.'
The man told the fairy. 'Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth,
so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.' The fairy looked at the
man's almost toothless grin and -- PING! -- he had a brand new shining set
of gold teeth in his mouth!
'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two more to go.'
The refugee claimant now got bolder. 'I need a big house with a three car
garage in Knightsbridge with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my refugee
relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over
here..
' PING! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a
three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ and swimming pool in an upmarket
neighbourhood.
'One more wish', said the fairy, waving her wand. 'Yes, one more wish.
I want to be like an Englishman with English clothes instead of
manjams, and a baseball cap instead of this turban.
And I want to have white skin like an Englishman
'PING! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans, a Chelsea T-shirt
and baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had
disappeared from the horizon.
'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed. 'Where is my new house?'
The fairy said 'Tough luck, Now that you are English, you have to
fend for yourself.'
And she disappeared!
Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, an up and coming gunfighter
recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day had the
reputation of being the fastest gun in the West.
The young cowboy took a place next to the old-timer, bought him a drink
and told him the story of his great ambition. 'Do you think you could give
me some tips?' he asked.
The old man looked him up and down and said, 'Well, for one thing, you're
wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg.'
'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the young man.
'Sure will,' replied the old-timer.
The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his 44 and shot
the bow tie off the piano player.
'That's terrific!' said the hot shot. 'Got any more tips for me?'
'Yep,' said the old man. 'Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer
hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw.'
'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the younger man.
'You bet it will,' said the old-timer.
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in
a blur, and then shot a cufflink off the piano player.
'Wow!' exclaimed the cowboy, 'I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more
tips?'
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. 'See that
axle grease in the can over there? Coat your gun with it.'
The young man went over to the can and smeared some of the grease on the
barrel of his gun.
'No,' said the old-timer, 'I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and
all.'
'No,' said the old-timer, 'but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the
piano, he's gonna shove that gun where the sun don't shine ....and it won't hurt as
much.'

Just to keep the ball rolling.
The Power of Alcohol.
A man is waiting for his wife to give
birth. The doctor comes in and informs the dad that his son was born
without torso, arms or legs. The son is just a head! But the dad loves
his son and raises him as well as he can, with love and compassion.
After 21 years, the son is now old enough
for his first drink. Dad takes him to the bar, tearfully tells the son he is
proud of him and orders up the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With
all the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender shaking his head
in disbelief, the boy takes his first sip of alcohol.
Swoooosh! Plop! A torso pops
out! The bar is dead silent; then bursts into whoops of joy. The
father, shocked, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant,
"Take another drink!"
The bartender continues to shake his head
in dismay . Swoooosh! Plip! Plop! Two arms pop out.
The bar goes wild. The father, crying
and wailing, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant, "Take
another drink! Take another drink!"
The bartender ignores the whole affair and goes back to polishing
glasses, shaking his head, clearly unimpressed by the amazing scenes.
By now the boy is getting tipsy, but with
his new hands he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it.
Plop! Plip! Two legs pop out. The bar is in chaos.
The father falls to his knees and tearfully
thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs and stumbles to the left then
staggers to the right through the front door, into the street, where a truck
runs over him and kills him instantly. The bar falls silent.
The father moans in grief. The bartender
sighs and says,
YOUR GONNA HATE ME
He should've quit while he was a head!"

A walker noticed an old lady sitting on her front step, so he walked up to
her and said, "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your
secret for such a long, happy life?"
"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a
nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels
every week, and eat only junk food. On week-ends, I pop pills and do no
exercise at all."
"That is absolutely amazing at your age!", says the walker. "How old
are you?"
"Twenty-four," she replied.

INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON
Railroad tracks. This is fascinating.
Be sure to read the final paragraph; your understanding of it will depend on the earlier part of the content.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England , and English expatriates built the US railroads.
Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England ) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with it?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horse's asses.) Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRB's. The SRB's are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah .
Engineers who designed the SRB's would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRB's had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything... And
CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else.

Satänglövsalsfågel (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) är en fågel i familjen lövsalsfåglar inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Satänglövsalsfågeln är en stor och kraftig lövsalsfågel med relativt kort näbb. Adulta hanar är helt glansigt mörkt blålila, med ljus näbb och violett öga. Adulta honor och ungfåglar är mestadels gröna och bruna, med blå eller skära ögon och fjällig undersida. Arten kan vara rätt högljudd och ljudlig, med olika skrin. väsanden och ylande ljud.

Utbredning och systematik
Satänglövsalsfågel placeras som enda art i släktet Ptilonorhynchus. Den delas in i två underarter:
 P. v. minor – förekommer i nordöstra Queensland (Atherton Tablelands till Burdekin River)
 P. v. violaceus – förekommer i östra Australien (centrala Queensland till östra och södra Victoria)

Levnadssätt
Satänglövsalsfågeln hittas i regnskog och fuktiga eukalyptusskogar. Den påträffas ofta i par eller smågrupper. Hanarna är kända för att bygga stora lövsalar som är dekorerade med små blå föremål.

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde, men tros minska i antal, dock inte tillräckligt kraftigt för att den ska betraktas som hotad. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).

Теньгу́шевський райо́н (, , ) — муніципальний район у складі Республіки Мордовія Російської Федерації.

Адміністративний центр — село Теньгушево. Відстань від села до міста Саранська — 216 км.

Географія
Район розташований у північно-західній частині фіно-угорської країни Мокшанія — тут компактно проживають мокшани, яких офіційна російська етнографія вважає субетносом народу мордва. У цьому ж районі проживає помітний анклав ерзян (ерзяни-шокша), який є південно-західним клином стародавньої ерзянської території у Нижньогородській області.

Теньгушевський район розташований у північно-західній частині Республіки Мордовія. Район межує з Темниковським та Зубово-Полянським районами Мордовії, Вознесенським районом Нижньогородської області, Ермішинським та Кодимським районами Рязанської області. Район розташований в зоні лісостепу, відноситься до Оксько-Донської низовини, характеризується широкими заплавами і надзаплавними терасами, великими торф'яними болотами, наявністю піщаних дюн і слабо розчленованим рельєфом. В цілому територія району височить над рівнем моря в середньому на 100—150 м.

По території району протікає найбільша річка Мордовії Мокша (на території району її протяжність 58 км).

BlueWhite Health are your local Kamloops Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine experts! We specialize in cupping, acupoint injection and powerful Tui-na massage. Over the years, it is always surprising to learn how a massage from our trained staff can have positive benefits. One of the most rewarding and new ways we are helping people change their lives is with Paediatric Tui-na massage for autistic children.
I was raised in a family of Traditional Chinese Medicine background. I used to visit my dad after school at the hospital he worked when I was in elementary. I remember seeing the hope from the parents waiting outside the treatment room while holding their kids, and the happiness with the improvement over the years. All those experiences like a seed planted in my heart. Now I am taking the path after my father and strongly believe in how much autistic children would benefit from Tui-na massage.
There are many challenges that the parents and their autistic children have to face everyday. One of the most challenging issues for parents that are raising a child with autism is the loss of parent-child bonding through touch. Many times, autism can cause children to reject, avoid or even fail to notice that they are being touched by their parent. The consequences of this are far reaching. Imagine not being able to feel comforted by the touch of a parent. Or not being able to soothe your child with physical care. Without these abilities, children and parents are often less socially receptive and experience delay in their developmental skills.
For many children that we see already, Tui-na massage has helped provide them a source of relaxation, stress reduction and behavioural growth. With ongoing treatment, BlueWhite has been able to help children learn to calm their brains and bodies to many positive outcomes. Children with long term reading and focus problems have been able to properly study and read/write their tests in school without issue after our treatment.
The importance of relaxation and stress relief to families living with autism cannot be overstated. It is BlueWhite's belief that not only autistic children can benefit from Paediatric Tui-na Massage. If anxiety and other issues are clawing away at your happy life with your children, we can help them and you!
If you'd like to have your child receive this treatment or have any other questions, please contact us today to set up a consultation. Some simple questions about your child's birth history and behavioural issues will let us know if they are a good candidate for the program.

Q: iptables / KVM forward port I have a server with one external IP address (e.g. 1.2.3.4). On that server I use libvirt to run virtual machines. Now I want to access a virtual server on my host via ssh (port 1234) from the outside.
On my host system I got a network interface eth0 which is connected to my outside IP (1.2.3.4).
My virtual machine is connected to the host machine via a nat interface called virbr0 with the ip 192.168.122.235.
As I need to forward a port I did the following with iptable
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 1234 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.235:1234
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.122.235 --dport 1234 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
For basic networking I also got UFW running on the host allows port 1234:
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), allow (routed)
New profiles: skip

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
[SOMEOTHERPORTS]
1234/tcp                  ALLOW IN    Anywhere
1234/tcp (v6)             ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)

I made sure that forwarding is allowed for all involved network interfaces:
user@someserver ~ # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/virbr0/forwarding
1
user@someserver ~ # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding
1

When trying to connect via ssh to the server from the outside network to 1.2.3.4 I get:
ssh: connect to host 1.2.3.4 port 1234: Connection refused

I checked the ssh connection from the host, which is working perfectly.

*

*What am I doing wrong here?

*Does UFW interfere with iptables?

*How can I get this working?

*Is there an easier way to do port forwarding with
libvirt / virt-manager? (I tried this:
http://secomputing.co.uk/2012/02/21/Forwarding-ports-to-KVM-clients/
which did not work either because XML is not valid when changing  to  / it does validate but not work if I let it on "network")

A: I had virtually the same issue. I wanted to forward port 22 from my host machine to my VM, also running KVM, with NAT network.
I found this post: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2261173&p=13210545#post13210545
Which had the answers for me.
TL;DR
192.168.1.161 is my servers IP on the internal network.
192.168.122.2 is my VMs ip on the host.
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.1.161 --dport 22 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.2:22
iptables -I FORWARD -m state -d 192.168.122.2/24 --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Disclaimer. I have no idea what this does exactly. It looks the same as many other answers ive found, just some of the parameter tags being slightly different.

A: There are a few things we should consider.

What am I doing wrong here?

Let's see the current iptables config and then we can examine it.

Does UFW interfere with iptables?

UFW is a command line front end for iptables but it lacks many of the features of iptables. Having the iptables configuration will show us what UFW has done based on the commands you entered. You should not however, create rules with both on the same computer. That is asking for complications. If you are going to enter your commands in UFW fine but iptables scripts should be disabled. If you are going to enter your commands in iptables then you should remove UFW.

How can I get this working?

Try this.
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 1234 -j DNAT --to 192.168.122.235:1234

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o vibr0 -p tcp --dport 1234 -j ACCEPT

But keep in mind that the guest is connected to the host using NAT with the adapter. So this probably won't work.
What you really should consider is changing the adapter type from NAT to bridged.

A: I think also you should use a bridged connection:
Try to find out your name of the network:
 virsh net-edit <network name>

The name of the network you can see in the Virt Manager. Normally it's default:
 virsh net-edit default

Change from NAT to bridge (also the Bridge name you find in Virt Manager)
<network>
   <name>default</name>
   <uuid>cc45a671-e8d8-4149-a6a5-8d5547551a58</uuid>
   <forward mode='route'/>
   <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0'/>
   <mac address='AA:CC:DD:86:53:54'/>
   <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
      <dhcp>
         <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
      </dhcp>
   </ip>
</network>

Remarks:

*

*In the example we used DHCP to give names to the VM's. You can also make static settings

*If you use ifconfig you should get:
virbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse AA:VV:CC:86:53:54
      inet Adresse:192.168.122.1  Bcast:192.168.122.255  Maske:255.255.255.0
      UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metrik:1
      RX-Pakete:127 Fehler:0 Verloren:0 Überläufe:0 Fenster:0
      TX-Pakete:44 Fehler:0 Verloren:0 Überläufe:0 Träger:0
      Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0
      RX-Bytes:13032 (13.0 KB)  TX-Bytes:4707 (4.7 KB)

*Basically you should use port 22 for ssh

*Try to use:
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.235 -j SNAT --to-source 1.2.3.4
So you can localize if it's a problem with the ports. In fact you can after close the Ports on the VM with Gufw.

A: These are my forwarding rules which pretty well.
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.0/24 -d 224.0.0.0/24 -j RETURN
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.0/24 -d 255.255.255.255/32 -j RETURN

It seems that Toblerone &on&on&on is the chocolate of choice for Father's Day, it certainly is in our house and while I love it as is, sometimes enough is enough. I found a way to use up a whole block of it at once with this oh so gooey and rich pudding. If you don't have any Toblerone on hand, and don't want to duck to the shops to buy some, I think that this would be just as delicious with dark chocolate.
This is a very rich and decadent dessert and is certainly a sometimes food but boy is it good!
Preheat your oven to 180C, and lay out 6 small oven proof dishes ready on a baking tray.
Whisk your dulce de leche (or caramel) and cream together and separate evenly into your 6 dishes.
Melt your chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until it has doubled in size. This takes about 10 minutes.
Fold your chocolate, egg mixture and almond meal together.
Divide the mixture evenly over your caramel cream into your dishes.
Bake for 20 minutes until mixture has risen and the centre is still gooey and soft.
Let your pudding stand for 5 minutes before dusting with cocoa and serving.
You might like to have an optional scoop of ice cream on the side to cut through the richness or a handful of strawberries to dunk in the gooey middle.
Pour 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk into a small oven proof dish. Sprinkle salt over the top and cover with foil. Sit this dish in a water bath and pop into the oven at 200C for 90 minutes. Check the water level every 30 minutes and top up as needed. Remove from oven when golden. Whisk to a smooth consistency. Cool and store in a well sealed jar in the fridge.
Have you ever made Dulche de Leche like this before?
so be sure to drop back for that!

Oh boy, these look amazing!! I've been meaning to try homemade Dulche de Leche for ages now…thanks for the inspiration!
It can be so easy to DIY at home and the uses are endless.
I afraid the postman might eat it on its way to you 😉 Best fresh out of the oven anyway.
This looks so naughty but sooooo nice! And how cool that Toblerone tweeted your recipe! Claim to fame!
And I know – I was so surprised that they even noticed me!!
This dessert looks AMAZING! I don't think there is anything better than homemade caramel and combining it with Toblerone is just the best!
They are incredible on their own but mind blowing together!
Haha now the problem is making sure I have Dulche de Leche, I always make it with the best of intentions to cook with it but it never makes it that far, this look absolutely amazing though.
I'm drooling over this. It looks so incredibly delicious.
Ha ha it is tricky to snag a 'leftover' toblerone so best to buy one just for this. And yes, dulce de leche is really that easy, thank goodness because it is so tasty!
Looks like a perfect indulgent treat – my husband thinks desserts without chocolate should be illegal so I think he will be a fan of this!!
In that case he will fall in love with this recipe.
We don't have dessert very often in our household – but when I do make dessert, I think I should go all out and this seems like an awesome recipe to recreate!


Thanks to our extended holiday, being flat-out busy and if I'm honest, a complete lack of motivation, things around our home have been sadly neglected of recent months. The place is, quite frankly, a bit of a mess. With September upon us, I seem to have acquired a desire to get it sorted...to do a bit of Spring cleaning, if you will. But I stand in the middle of a room, look around, sigh and don't even know where to start. There's so much to do it's simply overwhelming, and so I end up doing nothing.
It's driving me mad because I can't find my favourite shoes, that pair of pants I want to wear NOW, my youngest son's birth certificate, or the lead for that gadget that needs charging.
So I've devised a plan that's brilliant in its simplicity. I've called it The Ten Minute Project and it involves breaking big jobs down into ten-minute chunks. Instead of aiming to clear and clean the entire house, or even a whole room, I just pick a small area to work on at a time. It doesn't sound like much, but I figure if I spend ten minutes every day on de-cluttering and tidying up, things should be a lot more ship-shape by the end of the month. Thirty times ten minutes adds up to five hours - who has the time, stamina or attention span to do five hours straight of tidying and de-junking? This way, I get it done without it even feeling like any effort at all.
I began last night with the tallboy in our bedroom. The top of it had disappeared under discarded earrings and necklaces, piles of papers I'd cleaned out of my handbag, odd buttons, coins, a couple of books and other flotsam that had somehow landed there. I set a timer on my phone for ten minutes and set to it. It's now clear, dusted and everything is neatly in its place (or in the bin).
Before: Random crap and a nice layer of dust, lint and spilled washing powder.
1. You must spend ten minutes tidying or cleaning or throwing-out. Set a timer or use a clock so you stick to the allotted time. If you want to keep going once the ten minutes is up, go right ahead, but ten minutes is all that's required.
2. Anything you remove from the area you're working on has to be put away in its correct place or thrown out. No moving piles of crap from one place to another, the point is to reduce the stuff sitting around.
Easy, no? Who wants to join me?

WIPO Monitor is a project supervised by the Network Communications Governance Lab at McMaster University. Through this site, we seek to research and monitor developments in international copyright policy, as well as provide an informative, critical, and comprehensive venue for readers to discover and keep themselves up-to-date in the affairs of the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Some of the most pressing questions in international IP today include its growing role in developing countries and indigenous communities, and in educational, research, library, archival, and museum organizations. We ask how the international system might seek to become more responsive to the needs of developing nations, people with disabilities, and educational, research, library, archival, and museum organizations. We feel it is important that these discussions about the future directions of international intellectual property take place in within a context of informed analysis. We also believe that it is paramount that awareness of these discussions be raised among all relevant stakeholders, and not merely among industry professionals.
WIPO Monitor currently focuses on several WIPO committees: the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR), the WIPO Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP), the WIPO Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC), and the WIPO General Assembly. Our goal is to feature practical articles and reviews on WIPO's agenda and frequent meetings. Our readers seek to more effectively understand the various topics and discussions happening behind WIPO's doors. While we are interested in a wide variety of IP issues, we tend to focus on copyright provisions, access to knowledge, traditional knowledge and sustainable development.

Incomplete Markets, Allocative Efficiency, and the Information Revealed by Prices
Alessandro Citanna, Antonio Villanacci
We compare rational expectations equilibria with different degrees of information revelation through prices. These equilibria arise in a two-period exchange economy with finitely many states and signals, multiple commodities and incomplete financial markets for nominal assets. We show that there are always equilibria where information is redundant in the sense of being of no value to the uninformed traders. We give conditions under which for a generic set of economies, parametrized by endowments and utilities, there exist open sets of equilibria for which allocative and informational efficiency are independent, with implications for monetary policy.

33 Actors Who Gave Such Award-Worthy Performances, It's Hard To Believe They Were All Under 23 Years Old At The Time
Jenna Ortega is so good in everything, but her performance in The Fallout deserves more attention.
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which young actors have given award-worthy performances they can't stop thinking about it. They gave us both past and present young actors who absolutely crushed these TV and movie roles. Here are some of the best responses:
Warning: In order to show some of their very best scenes, there are MASSIVE spoilers in the photos below!
1. First, Kit Connor as Nick Nelson in Heartstopper (2022–present):
"Kit Connor was amazing when he did the coming-out scene in Heartstopper! I loved how emotional the scene was, and he even made Olivia Colman cry."
—fuzzywuzzykoala
2. Annarah Cymone as Leeza in Midnight Mass (2021):
"She had me in tears when her character confronted Joe Collie about causing the accident that paralyzed her."
—fillionfan4002
3. Milly Alcock as young Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon (2022–present):
"House of the Dragon Season 1 was so good, and it started with all the young actors who introduced us to these characters. Milly Alcock, alongside Emily Carey, brought Rhaenyra and Alicent to life so great. Milly's work alongside Matt Smith as Daemon was something I still think about, and I can't wait to see what she does next!"
—Nora Dominick
4. Macaulay Culkin as Henry Evans in The Good Son (1993):
20th Century Fox / Via youtu.be
"Obviously in Home Alone, but he was great in a movie called The Good Son. Super-dark role in a really dark movie. Young Elijah Wood is great in it as well!"
—am301394wne
5. Saoirse Ronan as young Briony Tallis in Atonement (2007):
"It was the first thing I saw her in, and I hated her for years because of that performance, simply because she was SO good at playing the villain. She wasn't even in the full movie, and it earned her an Oscar nomination. She's really just had phenomenal talent right from the beginning of her career. Still waiting for her long-overdue Oscar win."

6. Josh Hutcherson as Jess Aaron in Bridge to Terabithia (2007):

7. Sophie Nélisse as young Shauna Shipman in Yellowjackets:
"Really, all of the teen actors in Yellowjackets are incredible! They had the same idiosyncrasies as their adult counterparts did, and were all fantastic in their scenes!"
8. Roman Griffin Davis as Johannes "Jojo" Betzler in Jojo Rabbit (2019):
Fox Searchlight Pictures / Via youtu.be
"He was really able to strike that balance between maturity and innocence that the role required. He was also able to make me laugh and cry throughout the film multiple times. I'm really excited to see what he does in the future because that kid's going places."
—strawberrylumps22
9. Jenna Ortega as Vada Cavell in The Fallout (2021):
"She's amazing in the whole movie, but when she takes drugs in school and is literally melting down on the stairs until her friend finds her. You have to be an incredible actor to act like that while completely sober."
—megsmcg07
10. Kim Su-an as Su-an in Train to Busan (2016):
"Her performance in that movie truly blows me away and moves me to tears no matter how many times I watch it!"
—meganb1202
11. Keisha Castle-Hughes as Paikea Apirana in Whale Rider (2002):
Newmarket Films / Via youtu.be
"She was fantastic in every moment, but the scene that sticks out the most for me was when she was performing the chant. She was devastated by her grandfather not coming, but she was also very strong and had worked so hard on the chant that she wasn't going to crumble and not deliver it. She portrays a wonderful mix of dignity and stoic grief, and she was only 12 years old."
—etconner
12. Jacob Tremblay as Auggie Pullman in Wonder (2017):
Lionsgate / Via youtu.be
"I saw him first in Room, which he was phenomenal in, but then I saw him as Auggie in Wonder, and he knocked it out the park. I have yet to see a bad performance from him, and I can't wait to see what he does next."
—tiffanyalexandraw
13. Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things (2016–present):
"The 'Running Up That Hill' scene qualifies her enough for this list, but her heartbreaking finale performance doubles down, and her ability to convey different emotions over each episode is phenomenal. Absolutely snubbed by the Emmys this year, and deserves one next year, too."
—finnegangc
14. Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair in Stranger Things (2016–present):
"Literally all of the main kids during Season 4 of Stranger Things, but specifically the moment during Max's 'death' scene when Lucas is holding her and they're both scared and crying, thinking Max is going to die. Caleb screaming, 'Erica, help!' Those quotes just pull at your heartstrings."
—aries97
15. Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz in 9-1-1 (2018–present):
"So many of his scenes come to mind, but during the tsunami when he and Buck are on the fire truck, he really pulls at the heartstrings! Also, the very eerie, 'Where did all the water go?' line. Chills."
—Tashaaa
16. Dafne Keen as Laura/X-23 in Logan (2017):
"She was fucking incredible at playing the rage and ferocity of Laura/X-23."
—cristiandelgado
17. Quvenzhané Wallis as Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012):
"I left the theater with damp eyes, having no idea that I'd been silently streaming tears throughout the entirety of this beautiful and moving film, and her performance was otherworldly."
—rue mclanahan
18. Madeleine McGraw as Gwen in The Black Phone (2021):
"Mason Thames did a fantastic job too, but Madeleine's passion and emotional depth really shone and elevated the movie as a whole. It gave the movie layers of complexity you wouldn't normally expect with a standard horror film."
—allanahjayp
19. Dakota Fanning as Lucy Diamond Dawson in I Am Sam (2001):
New Line Cinema / Via youtu.be
"As problematic as that movie is today, Dakota Fanning in I Am Sam is otherworldly. Seeing her follow that performance in movies like War of the World and Man on Fire just solidified her as a star. When you can hold your own with actors like Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, and Sean Penn all before the age of 10, you're clearly made for this."
20. Amir Wilson as Will Parry in His Dark Materials (2019–present):
"Particularly the scene with his dad played by Andrew Scott. It's hard to keep up with an actor who has been in the industry for 20-plus years, but Amir contributes to the scene's poignancy just as much as Andrew does."
—Zutarashipper88
21. Mckenna Grace as young Tonya Harding in I, Tonya (2017):
"Mckenna Grace in ANYTHING, really. She played young Tonya Harding so well, I almost handed her an Oscar through the screen, especially during the scene when she's trying to convince her dad not to leave."
—kombuche
22. Mckenna Grace as Esther Keyes in The Handmaid's Tale (2017–present):
"She is so talented, and her performance is so incredibly impressive! I can't wait to see what she does next!"
—hellocomputer1701
23. Kyliegh Curran as Abra Stone in Doctor Sleep (2019):
Suggested by: heroanhart
24. Aidan Gallagher as Number Five in The Umbrella Academy (2019–present):
"Not every actor could believably pull off playing Number Five, a time-traveling assassin who's now an old man trapped in a teen's body, but he does it marvelously."
—oh_bother
25. Kirsten Dunst as Claudia in Interview With the Vampire (1994):
Warner Bros. / Via youtu.be
"At just 12 years old, she was able to show her character, Claudia, changing from a child to an adult trapped in a child's body. Probably the best performance in the movie."
—Alice Kingsleigh
26. Julian Dennison as Ricky Baker in Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016):
PiKi Films / Via youtu.be
"Comedy is way harder than it looks, and he was seriously funny while also nailing the emotional and dramatic scenes. Super talented!"
—mollymcduck
27. Mia Isaac as Rowan in Not Okay (2022):
Suggested by: oviewankanobi
28. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Miles in The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020):
"The way that little boy could let you know which person he was playing just by his body language. He was the best part of the series for me."
—Drummers Other Wife
29. Julia Butters as Trudi Fraser in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019):
Sony Pictures Releasing / Via youtu.be
"She not only held her own in scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio, but she shone. The kid has some serious acting chops."

30. Henry Thomas as Elliott in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982):
Universal Pictures / Via youtu.be

32. Christian Bale as Jim Graham in Empire of the Sun (1987):
Warner Bros. / Via youtube.com
"I think he was around 13 at the time but already a great actor, and carried the film. It's literally his second acting credit."
—savana221
33. And finally, Anna Paquin as Flora McGrath in The Piano (1993):
Miramax / Via youtube.com
"This is going back a long ways, but I remember being stunned by how good Anna Paquin was in The Piano."
