Q: CFTs and formalizing quantum field theory Moshe's recent questions on formalizing quantum field theory and lattices as a definition of field theory remind me of something I occasionally idly wonder about, and maybe this site can tell me the answer. Are there any mathematicians working on defining quantum field theory by beginning with a rigorous definition of CFTs, and working from there?
The reason I ask is that I think this is how most of us in physics think about quantum field theory (that is, in a Wilsonian way): to define a QFT, you start with a UV fixed point, and deform it with some relevant operator. So if you had a general theory of CFTs, you would know how to understand how CFTs respond to external sources for operators, and getting a more general QFT would "just" mean turning on a spatially homogeneous source for some operator and seeing how it responds.
The other object we study is "effective field theory," which you might imagine in this language is a CFT that serves as the IR fixed point, together with some notion of equivalence class of irrelevant operators deforming "up" away from that point (being agnostic about whether you ever reach a UV fixed point).
Very (extremely) naively, I would suspect mathematicians might have better luck studying the space of CFTs rather than trying to begin with all QFTs. And you might imagine this approach would be well-suited for questions physicists might care about (like, say, whether there is an "a-theorem" or something similar, analogous to the c-theorem in 2 dimensions, characterizing RG flows as irreversible).
Axiomatic/algebraic/constructive field theory seems to worry about all kinds of field theory at once, and other mathematicians seem to be trying to dig up interesting structure in perturbation theory, which I'm not sure will ever lead to progress in nonperturbatively understanding field theory. I know there are some mathematicians who work on CFTs. (I found this MathOverflow question that has a lot of links to work by mathematicians on CFTs, for instance.) But I wonder if any have tried to work on CFTs as a route to understanding QFT more generally.

A: CFT consists for most mathematicians - who are interested in this topic - currently of the study of vertex operator algebras, see this question on math overflow:

*

*motivation for vertex algebra
You can find a little bit more about the topic and the work of several mathematicians here:

*

*vertex algebras on the nLab
As you can see from the answers on mathoverflow, vertex algebras were not invented for the study of CFT, and that they form an axiomatic abstraction of operator algebra products was noted only later.
A personal and very subjective note: One should not underestimate the amount of theoretical physics that is necessary to understand what a QFT is to physicists. Most mathematicians that encounter physics for the first time since highschool through some QFT framework seem to be quite taken aback by the high intrance fee they'd have to pay to understand this. This is my own, personal explanation for the observtion that most mathematicians study the formal machinery only, in order to use it to prove some new mathematical theorems, but only very rarely in order to better understand what physicists do. Although you'll find quite a lot of work by quite a lot of rather famous mathematicians if you follow the links above, AFAIK there is none doing the work you describe.


Acoustic foursome with fine harmonies in traditional, ole time, contemporary folk and original songs and tunes featuring the Appalachian dulcimer with bass, guitar, and mandolin.
born 10-10-46 CT. Grew up on Long Island Sound. My interest in acoustic music started in high school and led to a college group known as the "Newcomers". The dulcimer caught my eyes and ears while visiting friends at Berea College in KY back in 1967. I left Berea with all the information, books and records I could find on the dulcimer. Since then I have eagerly sought as much history, lore and makers of the dulcimer as I can fit into my life. It is my bliss.
I moved from IL in 1976 seeking a simpler life style in the mountains of Appalachia and following my interest in the dulcimer. I live here because of the tradition of the mountain, Appalachian, dulcimer. My friends asked if I would support myself with my dulcimers when I moved South. I replied no. I would not turn my bliss into a have to do. My interest remains at a level of enjoyment and bliss. I hope through this site to share some of my bliss.
Jean Ritchie along with George and Gerry Armstrong became my listening interests. Jean has always been in the mist of my dulcimer enchantment. Howie Mitchell became one of my building gurus and I cherish the letters from him. I began travelling and sought Homer Ledford in KY. He has been my biggest influence in building dulcimers. As I traveled throughout the Appalachian mountains I met many builders and was received with warm encouragement everywhere I went. I extended my travels and received more gracious help from Len at Here Inc. MN. My journey continues. More and more folks are finding the enchantment of the dulcimer. More and more builders are discovering the joy of this instrument.
Contemporary acoustic quartet consisting of Alan Darveaux on dulcimer and autoharp, Sherrill Keever on guitar, bass, bowed psaltry, melodica, Jeff Haslam on mandolin, Jim Clark on bass.
'Slight Departure', Keever's name, came about from playing solo gigs at different places and working with Keever at our estate funded by the great state of North Carolina for our developmentally different adults.
We performed for a lot of functions on campus and in the community. Our practice led to becoming a duo sometimes called 'Duh Squared'. Jeff joined playing mandolin with no rules. We are slightly departed from a category of music. My background is in folk and contemporary folk singers. Keever grew up with the Beatles and Doc Watson. Jeff comes from 60's folk with Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead influences. Jim comes out of nowhere with rock, blues and jazz influences. Now the four of us offer a blend of fine harmonies and driving songs in ole time, contemporary, and original material.

Recently, I have been able to observe some exemplary models of 21st Century teaching practices and it reminded me of two things. First, many of our veteran teachers have instructional practices and knowledge about how students learn that far outweigh any challenges they may have with learning new computing skills. Second, it really isn't about the technology integration; it is about engaging learners and creating educational environments where students learn, and thrive.
In one classroom, I observed a Biology lesson. On the board was a prompt requiring students to draw a model of how DNA was involved in the process of protein construction. While the students were drawing on their IPADs, the teacher circulated checking on homework and entering grades from his phone. The teacher selected one student to mirror her drawing on the screen at the front of the classroom. The teacher led a class discussion reviewing protein construction and connected the learning to student's healthy eating habits. Around the classroom, there were physical models students had constructed of DNA. In one corner of the classroom, a group of students were getting ready to present a "DNA Rap" they had written the lyrics to and produced using Garage Band.
In another classroom, an independent study student was using padlet to create a presentation explaining the fundamental economic questions. The plan was that other students could add to the Economics Padlet creating a resource for students to collaborate on and benefit from even if they were not able to meet in a physical space.
Another teacher had students creating car models which they raced in a competition. Students used the Internet to research the shape and design of their model. They made measurements and computed rate, time and distance based on their models performance. The activity was structured so that each student had a role, there were steps which needed to be completed along the way, and there were time limits on how long the steps could take.
In each of these instances teachers used well established instructional practices such as checking for understanding, formative and summative assessment, student collaboration practices and project-based learning to engage learners and ensure that all students had multiple opportunities to master their learning objectives. The technology facilitated learning the concepts, but the point is these teachers had well developed instructional practices and they incorporated the technology into those practices.
Sometimes I think our veteran teachers hear that the skills they have been teaching and the teaching strategies they are using are irrelevant and out-of-date. They feel overwhelmed and defensive. Instead, I would like to propose that we help our most experienced teachers develop a growth mindset about technology by recognizing and celebrating the strengths they bring to the table.
Janice Delagrammatikas is principal of Come Back Kids Charter School at the Riverside County Office of Education and a member of the TICAL cadre.
Couldn't agree more, Janice! Newer teachers may be more comfortable using technology, but they often are limited in their knowledge of curriculum, instructional strategies, and classroom management. It would benefit everyone if veteran and less experienced teachers teamed up to plan jointly and share their strengths.
Point well taken, Janice! Some of the best instruction that takes place with technology integration happens in the classroom of veteran teachers. The role of the teacher is not going away and is needed more than ever. The key is who owns the learning? When students are empowered to learn through relevancy and purpose, then the educational model works…independent of the technical skills of the teacher.


Abstract: This article examines how a single phrase praising the 'spirit of selflessness' of the Canadian doctor Norman Bethune, which appeared in his obituary by Mao Zedong in 1939, led to two conflicting exegeses in the medical literature of the People's Republic of China. The first exegesis identified Bethune as a prototype of self-cultivation for medical workers, while the second identified him as a prototype of the abolition of the self. In this article I demonstrate how the two 'resurrections' of Dr Bethune's 'spirit of selflessness' reflected and fuelled conflicting governmental understandings of the 'technology of the self' necessary for socialist construction during the first two decades of the People's Republic of China.

New German government picks Joachim Nagel as next Bundesbank chief
Reuters | Posted: Dec. 20, 2021, 4:30 a.m. | Updated: Dec. 20, 2021, 12:11 p.m. | 3 Min Read
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Germany's new government has picked Joachim Nagel, a career central banker with ties to the ruling Social Democratic party, as the next Bundesbank chief, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.
Nagel, a former Bundesbank board member, will take over on Jan. 1 from Jens Weidmann, who quit five years early after a decade of fruitless opposition to the European Central Bank's aggressive stimulus policy of sub-zero interest rates and massive purchases of government bonds.
The 55-year old economist will take charge of the euro zone's biggest national central bank at a tense moment. Inflation is more than twice the ECB 2% target, and opposing camps within the ECB's Governing Council have distinctly different views on its likely evolution.
"In view of inflation risks, the importance of a stability-oriented monetary policy is growing," Lindner said on Twitter. "Nagel is an experienced person, who ensures continuity at the Bundesbank."
Weidmann unsuccessfully opposed the ECB's decision in his last meeting on Thursday to extend stimulus and warned that inflation could exceed the ECB's benign projections.
A former board member of the state-owned development bank KfW Bank, Nagel currently works for the Bank for International Settlements, which is often considered the central bank of central banks.
Early in his career, he was also a consultant for the SPD, the party that took over government earlier this month and will make the Bundesbank appointment one of its first decisions.
Although he has not publicly expressed views on monetary policy for years, speeches he gave as a Bundesbank board member show he adhered to the German central bank's tough stance on inflation and emphasis on market discipline for banks and governments.
"Nagel can be trusted to continue the German Bundesbank tradition in the debates in the ECB," Friedrich Heinemann, an expert at the ZEW economic research institute, said. "He has extensive monetary policy and financial expertise, which is essential for today's complex monetary policy decisions."
Heading the Bundesbank, Nagel would join Isabel Schnabel, who was also thought to be in the race for the Bundesbank job, on the ECB's Governing Council as one of two Germans.
"Congratulations to Joachim #Nagel for being nominated as new President @bundesbank!" Schnabel wrote on Twitter. "There are many important tasks ahead of us."
Marcel Fratzscher, the head of economic research institute DIW Berlin and another possible candidate, said Nagel was "a great and smart economist who will represent Germany well", also thanks to his expertise in "financial markets and financial stability".
Germany has often been at odds with the ECB and the bank has repeatedly come under fire from government officials, the media and academics for policies they claimed helped weaker economies at the expense of ordinary Germans.
Their criticism, however, has often fallen on deaf ears at the ECB's Governing Council, where the majority of policymakers have backed the central bank's aggressive stimulus policy.
"Nagel's appointment does not change the majority structure in the Governing Council," said professor Stefan Kooths of the non-profit Kiel Institute for the World Economy (ifw). "The proponents of the loose monetary policy can therefore look forward to the new Bundesbank leadership in a relaxed manner."
Often in the minority, German policymakers have responded by quitting from the Bundesbank and the ECB board, with nearly half a dozen top officials leaving in just over a decade after unsuccessfully opposing ultra-easy ECB policy.
"Our best guess is that Nagel will largely follow Weidmann in being a flexible and cooperative hawk," JPMorgan economist Greg Fuzesi said. "Weidmann has certainly been very hawkish, but he has played a constructive role in the ECB's decisions and has accepted decisions that were taken."

Sudan says it is ready for security talks with South Sudan
ADDIS ABABA - Sudan is ready to talk with South Sudan about security issues in order to prevent a return to full-scale war following weeks of border fighting, Sudan's foreign minister said on Tuesday.
"I'm now ready to talk, but on the security issues," Ali Ahmed Karti told reporters in Addis Ababa after meeting officials from the African Union, which has urged the two sides to return to negotiations."I'm ready to give priority to the issues of security and peace. Is that unaccepted in the world? I think this is very important," he said.

After Marsha , the coordinator of the show, said yes to my request to participate in the show, we promised ourselves to do our best to represent Ooh La La. It was August when I contacted Marsha about participating and since then , Greg and I have been working on candles, either buying new antique tea cups or actually making candles. During the past 3 months we have been super busy, choosing the fragrances we would like to use for this time of the year. I wanted something Christmassy but also I wanted to have than just holiday scents. We decide to have a variety of floral fragrances that were natural, not overwhelming and light.
We packed the car on Thursday with all the candles and props ready for the Friday. We got there on Friday and set up pretty quickly. The show was for 3 hours and it was a little slow for us, but other exhibitors did great. As this was our first time to this show we did not know other exhibitors, which apparently they knew each other from years ago as they were participating each year. But it was fun talking to them. Greg and I met a self described Gypsy who was originally from Bosnia Herzegovina and after he discovered where I came from we bonded immediately, talking about history, our tradition our roots. He was in the show with his wife who made jewelry. There was also a French exhibitor as well selling beautiful handmade glasses with his wife. We had a great time talking to him to.
Saturday came and I was afraid about how many people would show up as it was poring rain so bad, but I was totally surprised to see how many people came in and we did very well. Thank you to you all who stopped by.
I was overwhelmed, surprised, happy, and emotionally touched to see people react. People really loved what Greg and I made and often commented how beautiful our display was. Many of them were struggling to decide what to buy. I wasn't much help because I loved everything there. Honestly many of my most beautiful pieces were sold and I am sure they went to beautiful homes with families that will take care of them as much as I did. These are some of the pictures we took.
I was totally surprised and caught off guard to see my Colombia GI doctor who took care of me,at the show. He was also surprised to see me there too. We had a nice talk, he bought one of my teacups candles and we said goodbye. The same day I saw another doctor I work with at Albert Einstein, I did not expect to see her at the show. She is really funny and we had a great laugh.
Overall I met many beautiful people, some of them customers interested in buying my candles and some of them staff and other vendors working that day.


Beautiful, just like the picture and free shipping!
These earrings are the exact color of pink that I had wanted. This artist communicated frequently with me to be sure that I would be pleased with the size and length. She was so easy to work with and is very talented.

BeyondTrust Contributes Vulnerability Statistics to 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report
Findings point to continued increase of insider threats targeting data.
Atlanta, GA – May 8, 2019 – BeyondTrust, the worldwide leader in Privileged Access Management, today announced that the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) leverages anonymous vulnerability statistics from BeyondTrust. Data was provided to help classify threats that have not been mitigated on the Internet. This data was classified by business vertical, platform, age and vulnerability, and was created from BeyondTrust's BeyondSaaS cloud-based vulnerability management solution based on BeyondTrust vulnerability assessment technology and hosted in Microsoft Azure.
Key findings of the report include:
Nearly one third (29%) of successful data breaches in 2018 used stolen credentials. Cyberattacks need privileged credentials to accomplish their objectives. These credentials grant the high-level access that attackers require. In many large organizations, credentials are shared amongst employees and systems. This means that just one stolen credential can potentially be leveraged to move laterally throughout the network as the intruder searches for the information he wants.
Privilege abuse is the top misuse variety in breaches, and it's also the sixth most common threat action in data breaches. The report defines misuse as "the malicious or inappropriate use of existing privileges." What this really refers to is privilege abuse by the people who either accidentally or intentionally misuse their privileged access in a manner that leads to a security incident.
While no industry is immune to cyberattacks, the hardest hit in 2018 were public sector entities (16% of all breaches), healthcare organizations (15% of all breaches) and the financial industry (10% of all breaches). The report shows that different industries are more likely to be victims of different types of incidents. For example, the education industry was more than three times susceptible to phishing attacks than the retail sector. There are some commonalities though. For instance, credentials are among the three most common types of compromised data across every industry.
"The results of the report make it exceedingly clear to us that organizations need to focus on security basics and be persistent with disciplines under their control," said Morey Haber, Chief Technology Officer & Chief Information Security Officer at BeyondTrust. "Good security hygiene, privilege and password management, intelligent patching, and continuous vulnerability management lead to meaningful improvements in data breach protection based on the findings in this year's report."
"Many findings in this year's Data Breach Investigations Report substantiate what we saw in our own 2018 Privileged Access Threat Report," continued Mr. Haber. "We look forward to the findings of our 2019 report which will be released later this year."
Following are BeyondTrust's top five recommendations organizations can take immediately to strengthen their security postures:
Deploy patches for known vulnerabilities as soon as possible to mitigate the attack surface of external parties seeking to become insiders by leveraging credentials to move laterally throughout an organization. Lateral movement can lead an attacker to exfiltrate data from a file server or database, which the report tells us, is much more damaging than owning a single user device.
Deploy a password management solution that discovers every account in the environment, securely stores and manages credentials, requires an approval process for check-out, monitors activity while checked out, and rotates the credential upon check-in. Look for a workflow-based process for obtaining privileges. If requests happen during normal business hours and within acceptable parameters, set auto-approval rules to enable access without restricting admin productivity. But, if time, day, or location indicators point to something out of band, secure workflows can ensure the access is appropriate.
Segment your network or implement a secure enclave to ensure all privileged accounts (employees, contractors, and third parties) do not have direct access to manage devices. This model ensures that only approved devices and restricted network paths can be used to communicate with sensitive resources.
Enforce least privilege across your entire environment by removing local admin rights from end users, and restricting the use of admin and root account privileges to servers in your datacenter. Elevating rights to applications on an exception basis and employing fine-grained policy controls once access is granted can further limit the lateral movement of would-be attackers.
Implement multi-factor. Multi-factor authentication raises the bar given the number of breaches that involve weak, stolen, or default credentials. Attackers need credentials to move laterally and multi-factor authentication makes that movement more difficult. When reviewing the need for multi-factor authentication, the only right answer is every user, every account.

Зов Ктулху (, иногда употребляется в виде сокращения CoC, по первым буквам английского названия) — настольная ролевая игра по мотивам Мифов Ктулху, которые основаны на произведениях Говарда Филлипса Лавкрафта. Название игры является отсылкой к одному из самых знаменитых произведений Лавкрафта — «Зов Ктулху». Игра разрабатывается компанией Chaosium, первое издание было выпущено в 1981 году, к настоящему времени выпущена уже седьмая редакция игры.

Русская локализация произведена компанией Hobby World в 2020 году. Базой для ролевой системы выступает  (BRP) с дополнительными механиками влияния на рассудок и удачу игровых персонажей.

Игровой процесс

Сеттинг
Сеттинг «Зова Ктулху» — это более мрачная версия нашего мира, основанная на наблюдении Лавкрафта (из его эссе «Сверхъестественный ужас в литературе») о том, что «Страх — самое древнее и сильное из человеческих чувств, а самый древний и самый сильный страх — страх неведомого». События оригинальной игры, впервые опубликованной в 1981 году, происходят в 1920-х годах, в сеттинге Мифов Ктулху. Позже вышло дополнение «», в котором присутствовал оккультизм, а действие происходило в Англии 1890-х годов. Действие дополнений «» и «» связаны с заговорами и происходят в современную эпоху и 1980-е годы. Так же есть дополнения действия которых происходят за 1000 лет до нашей эры («Ктулху:Тёмные века»), в XXIII веке («Восхождение Ктулху») и в древнем Риме («Ктулху Инвиктус»). Главные герои также могут путешествовать за пределами Земли: например, в Мире грёз (доступ к которым возможен преимущественно через сны), иных измерениях, на других планетах или в дальнем космосе. В соответствии с тематикой, мастера (ведущие) игры называются Хранителями Тайных Знаний или просто Хранителями, а персонажи игроков — Сыщиками или Исследователями Неведомого.

Несмотря на то, что игра в основном сосредоточена на фантастике и ужасах Лавкрафта, играть в сеттинге Мифов Ктулху не обязательно. Система позволяет проходить сюжеты, не относящиеся к Лавкрафту, основанные на фольклоре, городских легендах, произведениях других авторов, фильмах ужасов или в авторских мирах, созданных мастером игры и/или игроками. Кроме того, хотя начало 1900-х годов является основной канонической игровой эпохой, в правилах присутствуют характеристики для игры и в современных или футуристических периодах.

Механики
CoC использует процентные кубики (десятигранные, с результатами от 1 до 100) для определения успеха или неудачи. Существует вероятность успеха для определенного действия в зависимости от навыков персонажа. Например, у художника может быть 75% шанс что-то нарисовать (что выражается в 75 в навыке Искусство (рисование)), и, таким образом, выпадение числа меньше 75 приведет к успеху. Бросок 1 ⁄ 2 уровня навыка или меньше (в примере - от 1 до 37) будет считаться «Трудным успехом», а 1 ⁄ 5 - будет считаться «Чрезвычайным успехом» (от 1 до 15) и гарантирует лучшее выполнение задачи. Например, персонаж-художник может рисовать особенно хорошо или очень быстро, а при изучении чужих произведений способен улавливать какие-то незаметные детали на рисунке. При Чрезвычайном успехе же он сумеет обнаружить, например, тайный шифр, скрытый автором картины от чужих глаз прямо на полотне.

Игроки берут на себя роли обычных людей (детективов, преступников, ученых, художников, ветеранов войны и т.д), вовлеченных в мир неведомого. По мере того, как персонажи узнают больше об истинных ужасах мира и несущественности человечества, их здравомыслие (представленное «Пунктами рассудка», сокращенно РАС) постепенно угасает. Игра включает в себя механизм для определения того, насколько поврежден рассудок персонажа в данный момент; Встреча с ужасными существами обычно приводит к потере пунктов РАС. Чтобы получить инструменты, необходимые для победы над ужасами - мистические знания и магию - персонажи могут в конечном итоге потерять часть своего рассудка, хотя существуют и другие средства, такие как грубая огневая мощь, возможность договориться или перехитрить своих противников. CoC принято считать игрой, в которой персонаж игрока довольно часто умирает при ужасных обстоятельствах или завершает свою путь в психиатрической лечебнице. Победа игроков не гарантируется.

Q: How to enable sharedArrayBuffer in chrome without cross-origin isolation I have this experiment which I only run on my local machine: I load an external webpage from, for example https://example.com and the with puppeteer I inject a javascript file which is served from http://localhost:5000.
So far there are no issues. But, this injected javascript file loads a WebAssembly file and then I get the following error
Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: SharedArrayBuffer is not defined
....

And indeed, SharedArrayBuffer is not defined (Chrome v96) with the result that my code is not working at all (It used to work though). So my question is, how can I solve this error?
Reading more about this, it seems that you can add two headers
   res.setHeader('Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy', 'same-origin');
   res.setHeader('Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy', 'require-corp');

which I did for both files without much success. Maybe this will not work given that the page is from a different domain than the injected js and WASM files.
But maybe there is an other solution possible. Here is my command to start chrome
      client.browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: false,
        devtools: true,

I know chrome has too many options, so maybe there is an option for this SharedArrayBuffer issue as well?
Hope someone knows how this works and can help me, Thnx a lot!

A: In this thread someone suggested to start chrome as follows
$> chrome --enable-features=SharedArrayBuffer

meaning I can add --enable-features=SharedArrayBuffer to my puppeteer config!

A: Peter Beverloo made an extensive list of Chromium command line switches on his blog a while back.

There are lots of command lines which can be used with the Google Chrome browser. Some change behavior of features, others are for debugging or experimenting. This page lists the available switches including their conditions and descriptions. Last automated update occurred on 2020-08-12.

If you're looking a specific command it will be there, give it a shot. Tho I'm pretty sure cross-origin restrictions were implemented specifically to prevent what you're trying to do.

The whole vintage trend is still very much in fashion so finding old pieces isn't hard. Visit your local antique or junk shops and scout around at flea markets – they are often a treasure trove of vintage goodies that don't cost much. Alternatively, ebay is also a great place to shop for vintage furniture and other vintage bits. This beautiful vintage kids room picture above is filled with flea market finds.
When shopping around for vintage furniture, think creatively. Perhaps you will stumble upon a old dressing table which can instead be used as a child's desk. Or maybe you come across a vintage coffee table that can be re-purposed as a bedside table.
Get your DIY hat on and make stuff. This is the best way to get a unique and personal feel to the room. You can shop around for vintage fabrics and make a duvet cover or some cushion covers or a bed canopy. You can even give your modern furniture a vintage twist by painting and decorating – think vintage wallpaper to cover it or antique/distressed paint colours.
Don't forget about the walls and floors. A quick way to add an instant vintage feel is by creating a feature wall with vintage wallpaper. Or you could go for a distressed wall paint finish instead. Another way add a vintage touch is going for old style floors like a classic checkered pattern which can be painted on to existing wooden floorboards. Combine this with a simple vintage wallpaper and the result is a charming space like the beautiful vintage room above.
If all that DIY-ing sounds a bit too much for you, take the easier way out that will still give you the look. Get a load of vintage frames and pictures and create a gallery wall – things like vintage alphabet posters, old maps, vintage comics and book covers, and even vintage kids clothes all make interesting wall hangings. I love how they've taken old dolls and toys and framed it in the room above. To make it personal, add some old family photos too.
Another great way to quickly add to a vintage look is by having vintage inspired storage and old rugs like in this sweet little boys vintage room above. For storage, old suitcases, wicker baskets, metal baskets and wooden crates all fit the bill. If they're actually old even better, but even if they're not they will still give you the look.
Look around your home, your parents home and your grandparents home. Chances are you will be amazed at what you find that is useable. Old tables, wardrobes, pieces of fabric, old picture frames – the list goes on.
Every single piece doesn't have to be vintage – so don't be afraid of mixing new with old. Picking a few key vintage pieces that are mixed up with a few new pieces that you already still give you the look. Just like in the charming vintage room above where you've got an old chest of drawers (how gorgeous is that chest?) with modern shelves.
So those are my top tips for easily creating vintage kids rooms with lots of unique character. Whether you add vintage touches to an existing room or re-decorate from scratch, a vintage kids room can be such a charming space.
That yellow rug is gorgeous! Viva la vintage especially rugs! I am on the look out for a vintage baby doll rocking crib even though baby bear doesn't have a baby doll yet.

For Dreamers like me: The story of one Jewish Dreamer
Guest columnistOne Jewish Dreamer calls for certainty and stability
In the Torah, we are called to welcome the stranger. But with DACA participants, our task is easier. We are not strangers.
By Elias Rosenfeld	February 7, 2018, 1:49 pm 0 Edit
Protesters march with signs in support of Dreamers and a clean Dream Act at a Pittsburgh march in January. (Photo by Lauren Rosenblatt)
My name is Elias Rosenfeld, and I am a 20-year-old student at Brandeis University in Boston, where I am studying political science and sociology with a legal studies minor. I am also a DACA recipient.
I came to the United States legally, on a visa, with my mom and sister when I was 6 years old, from Caracas, Venezuela. My mother came here on an L1 visa, which enabled her and us toward a legal pathway to a green card and eventual citizenship.
Sadly, my mother never got this opportunity. When I was in fourth grade, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer and ultimately passed away when I was in sixth grade. Her death, however, had ramifications beyond the normal emotional pain of losing a parent at such a young age.
Her death meant I fell out of status, because our nation's immigration system is broken, and has no mechanism in place for when a parent, like my mom, passes away.
I, like many others, discovered my status when I couldn't apply for a driving learner's permit the summer of eighth grade. It seemed incomprehensible how someone like I, who had won the U.S. history award every year in middle school, lacked the basic privileges I assumed I had as an American.
However, luckily for me, DACA was announced at the start of my freshman year of high school, providing me with basic opportunities I could not acquire before.
DACA enabled me to graduate at the top of my class, speak at my high school graduation and acquire a privately funded full merit scholarship at Brandeis University, where I am studying to pursue a career in law.
DACA has allowed me to experience a diverse set of opportunities, ranging from interning in the U.S. Senate to being selected as the only freshman in Brandeis' history department to win the Linda Heller Kamm Award for Social Justice. I am also a sophomore columnist for the university's official publication.
However, all my hard work in the last 19 years is at stake, because since Sept. 5, I have been unable to clearly see my future in my only home. Come August, my DACA status expires, and my life will be thrust into imminent chaos.
My education is in jeopardy, but I could also be detained and deported to a country I do not call home. DACA's expiration means going back to a country where I do not even command the native language and a city which is now ranked as the deadliest in the world. The constant thought of deportation is now a topic I wake up every morning thinking about.
Without congressional action, I will become a priority for deportation — along with 800,000 other DACA recipients who, for all intents and purposes, are Americans.
It is urgent for lawmakers to come together and pass a bipartisan compromise that would allow Dreamers like myself to continue contributing and serving our communities, here in the United States. Congress must remember that any immigration bill they pass will take months to fully implement, which is why it's so critical for them to pass legislation immediately, without delay.
More than 15,000 Dreamers have lost their work authorization and deportation protections since President Trump eliminated the DACA program last year. Every single day, 122 other Dreamers lose their status — and this trend will continue until Congress takes action to affirmatively protect us from deportation.
Come March, that number rises to 1,200 Dreamers losing protections every single day. I urge you to count from 1 to 1,200 in your head to see the dramatic impact this will have on our workforce and economy, and on American families every single day.
Protecting Dreamers is also a religious issue, particularly for me as a member of the Jewish community. In the Torah, we are called 36 times to welcome the stranger. This, combined with our community's shared experience as immigrants from Egypt up to the Holocaust, informs our commitment to the Dream Act.
In Leviticus 19:34, God commands the Israelites: "The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love them as yourself."
We are called to welcome the stranger. But with DACA participants, our task is easier. We are not strangers.
Dreamers are already firmly established within the American community. Which is why last week, hundreds of Jewish leaders like Rabbi Jonah Pesner were willing to risk arrest for their fellow Dreamers.
For Dreamers like me, the certainty and stability that permanent protections would provide is an urgent issue. Just two months ago, shortly after Thanksgiving, I learned that my grandfather in Venezuela had passed away unexpectedly. Growing up, he was a dear father figure to me and in many ways was a direct connection to my mother and one of the few adults in my entire life I could count on.
He would visit me in Florida and taught me the importance of hard work, the value of family and the power of prayer and religion. He was a tremendously influential person in my life.
After his passing, I was forced to watch his funeral via cellphone videos because my DACA status did not allow me to leave the country to be by his side at that critical time.
Protecting Dreamers is an issue that is both urgent and imminent. There is strong bipartisan support in Congress to allow Dreamers like me to stay here, and it is something that 80 percent of Americans would like to see be resolved.
I urge every member to follow their constituents and pass a legislative solution for Dreamers that is rooted in compromise, the fundamental basis of our nation and U.S Constitution. PJC
Elias Rosenfeld is one of the few Jewish Dreamers. He is a college student in Boston.

Tornio/Haparanda redo, E8 up north, Pello, Kolari, Muonio.
Kaaresuvanto, with bridge to Karesuando.
+E45 Kaaresuvanto via Hetta to Norwegian border?
Is there space for Finnish E45?
That would a pretty large project up north, in Finland!
Most of the places I mentioned, would only be scenery villages.
Maybe it can be places like those are:Saariselkä,Äkäslompolo,Kolari,Palojoensuu,Tankavaara,Kakslauttanen or Kilpisjärvi ? Those are some of my ideas,if he is doing something nice for us in those areas in North of Finland.
I thought I'd visit here as I live in northern Finland in Muonio.
It's a small place on the border of Finland and Sweden and many trucks cut across our town and continue to Kilpisjärvi and from there to Norway.
My suggestion is to atleast make a route from Tornio to Kilpisjärvi. It's a single road all the way North. Would be cool driving on familiar roads in ETS2!
That road could be nice to drive in the Ets2,but we can hope that it will be in the Pm map someday.
Poromies00, Seututie 954, is it used by trucks too?
Nissantruck, ProMods someday? Yeah, I hope it too.
Far future, maybe even a DLC?

Tag: Facebook Track Browsing after Logging Out
Facebook can Track Ones Browsing after Logging Out, Judge Pronounces
In a recent lawsuit against Facebook, a plaintiff accused Facebook of tracking the browsing activity of users even after they have logged out of the site. The plaintiff had accused Facebook that it employed the "like" buttons that are found on other different websites for tracking the sites visited by the Facebook user. This meant that the social media giant can build detailed records of users and their browsing history. The petitioners argued that this dishonored the state and federal wiretapping and privacy laws.
Insights of Lawsuit Filed
The United States district judge, Edward Davila, who was looking after the case, dismissed the case saying that the accusers failed to present any reasonable ground of privacy breach or realistic economic loss or harm with Facebook keeping data related to the users browsing history. The judge further added that the petitioners could have taken considerable steps for hiding their browsing histories by using several platforms such as the incognito mode or the opt-out tool by the Digital Advertising Alliance. They also failed to present any proof that Facebook illegally eavesdropped or intercepted on their modes of communications. The plaintiffs could have easily used these methods to put a halt to Facebook's so called intrusion but they chose not to.
What was the fuss all about?
When one clicks on a like button generated by Facebook on a third party website, one is allowed to share bits and pieces if information or content of the page on Facebook exterminating the need to copy and paste the link on the social media page. When a user clicks on an implanted like button, the browser sends a triggering data to both server of the page and Facebook. This, on the contrary is kind of subjected to confusion as in 2014 Facebook started the use of web browsing data for presenting targeted advertising which are internet based, explaining the advertising one sees of the products on Facebook that were being searched on the browser earlier.

Being charged with a theft crime in Kentucky can be a deeply intimidating and scary experience, as a guilty verdict can mean years in prison and a tarnished reputation and career. But you don't have to face theft charges alone. Louisville criminal defense attorney Ron Aslam has over nine years of experience litigating theft crimes in the Kentucky criminal justice system, obtaining an impressive track record of positive results for his clients in criminal cases. As both a state prosecutor and now a defense attorney passionately representing the interests of individuals in and around Louisville, Ron Aslam has the experience, skill, intellect and drive to fight for your rights and defend your freedom and reputation in your Kentucky theft case.
Depending on the amount of property involved, prosecutors can bring any of the above crimes as felonies, which can involve sentences of over a year in prison (and potentially many years based on the crime and property involved). Furthermore, having a theft crime on your record can disqualify you from many careers and jobs.
Because the stakes for your freedom, career and reputation are so high, you will want to have a robust, solid criminal defense attorney fighting your Kentucky theft charges. While it may seem like the power is all in the government's hands, a good defense attorney will employ a number of strategies in turning the tables on your accusers, and as a former prosecutor, criminal defense attorney Ron Aslam has the necessary knowledge in employing such strategies.
Ron will be at your side throughout police questioning, all hearings, plea negotiations and on to trial. He will prevent police from unlawfully obtaining physical evidence and statements from you in violation of your Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights, and prevent any such evidence from being used against you.
It is important to understand that prosecutors must prove every element of a Kentucky theft charge beyond a reasonable doubt in order to win a guilty verdict against you, and, for theft crimes, this often involves proving that you had a guilty state of mind (or, in other words, the intent to commit a crime). In many theft cases, showing you that intended to deprive another of his property is very is hard to prove, even if there might be physical evidence that you actually possessed the property in question. Ron will make your best arguments on the question of intent and all other relevant elements of the charged theft crime in negotiating and/or litigating in favor of your innocence or for reduced penalties. Over his many years of trying theft crime cases, Ron has won numerous acquittals and reduced sentences, and he will bring his many years of experience to bear in fighting for the best possible outcome to your theft case.
If you are facing theft charges or are under investigation, don't delay in protecting your rights. Call the Ron Aslam Law Office today at 502.581.1676 to set up a free consultation.

Blu-ray Review: Robert Mitchum Takes The Lead In Crime Drama THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
Posted on February 7, 2016 by Niall Browne in Reviews
The Friends Of Eddie Coyle (1973) is the type of '70s movie that perfectly sums up the decade on a cinematic level. Robert Mitchum plays the titular Eddie Coyle, an ageing low level crook caught-up in a Boston gun-running racket. Eddie is eager to get out of the game but an ATF agent (Richard Jordan) pulls him back in, making him turn informer. You know from the start that things aren't going to end well for Eddie.
Rich on grit and reality, The Friends Of Eddie Coyle has become one of the go-to movies for filmmakers eager to create a criminal world on the screen and over the years Peter Yates' film has been an inspiration to everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Ben Affleck. Tarantino named the title character of Jackie Brown after one of the film's protagonists, making a change from Jackie Burke in Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. Meanwhile, Affleck's Boston roots mean that Eddie Coyle is in his movie DNA and his 2010 film The Town riffs heavily on the film.
Peter Yates was no stranger to the crime genre having already directed the likes of Bullitt and The Hot Rock, but this is something different. Like those movies, it might have a bonafide Hollywood star but Mitchum was in the twilight of his career, whereas the stars of the aforementioned (Steve McQueen and Robert Redford) were in their prime. Mitchum's Coyle is a man broken by the system and he just wants to get by, but chance and circumstance have other plans. This is one of Mitchum's great roles and it's fascinating to see how a star of the studio era was able to make such an impact on every different type of Hollywood.
One of the classic '70s crime movies, The Friends of Eddie Coyle still packs a powerful punch 43 years after it was first released. This is a hefty drama that doesn't pull any punches and it stands as a pivotal moment in an important decade in Hollywood's history.
This Eureka DVD comes with a cracking 44 page booklet, a 'video appreciation' by Glenn Kenny and a 1996 interview with Peter Yates. The Friends of Eddie Coyle gets the treatment it deserves.

8 HATEFUL EIGHT Character Portraits – Where's The Enthusiasm?


By the time I heard about the bullet journal, I thought it wasn't a new idea. I already had one when I was in University but never kept doing it.
Now that I'm living alone and adulting is really a time-consuming task, I needed a way to keep myself organized in the different sections of my life.
I tried to keep an agenda, but it was boring. I also tried to keep a notebook to write new ideas and general to-do list but the problem was that it wasn't really organized and I eventually hoped to be lucky and find what I was looking for.
So, I tried again to use the bullet journal, but this time before diving in, I checked how the other people were utilizing it.
MONTHLY AND WEEKLY SPREADS: yes, I do both because I want to see the big picture of the month so I do not overload my month and also I don't like to prepare the weekly spreads straight away at the start of the month as I am preparing them on my days off as it relaxes me a lot.
This system is used by so many people in the world and there are so many ideas on how you can organise or decorate your journal. It took me almost six months to understand what was really important for me to keep in the journal and how I wanted it to look like.

First Look: Parachute duo launches Wherewithall restaurant in Avondale
By Phil Vettel

You're Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim, the husband-wife team behind the Michelin-star-winning Parachute (one star, four years running) and winners, in May, of the James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Great Lakes award.
What do you do for an encore? Have a third child? Open a second restaurant?
How about both?
Shortly after the May birth of Bowie, Clark and Kim opened Wherewithall (3472 N. Elston Ave.), one block south of the acclaimed Parachute in Avondale. The restaurant opened quietly on July 16.
Wherewithall owners Beverly Kim and Johnny Clark and their two-month-old son, Bowie Clark, pictured at their restaurant on July 23, 2019, in Chicago. (Michelle Kanaar / Chicago Tribune)
The name is a mouthful, not to mention a spelling challenge, and it's meant as both an homage to their original restaurant and a thank-you to all those who supported it.
"Everything over the course of five years," the two said in a press release. "All the relationships, all of the employees, all the friends — not only have all the people and experiences helped to create the means to get us to this point, but all of this contributes to the energy of the restaurant."

A wall-length bank of windows gives the dining room plenty of light, when the weather cooperates; natural-wood tables contrast with painted wood floors. Seating consists of sturdy wood chairs and a tall, fabric-covered banquette. A front room offers bar and counter-height seating.
The restaurant's goal is to be a community space with rotating art by local artists. The current sculptures are by Jennifer Hoffmann. (Michelle Kanaar / Chicago Tribune)
Wherewithall features a set menu of four courses, priced at $65. That's a touch misleading, in that one or two extra dishes — say, spring-onion beignets dusted with matcha powder — will arrive in the course of the meal. The fixed menu allows the kitchen to switch offerings as the market allows. For instance, the black-raspberry tart — the featured dessert two weeks ago — will probably be gone by the time you read this.
The cuisine doesn't correspond to any handy label; Clark and Kim call it "ingredient-focused cuisine that is approachable, thoughtful and wholesome." It's clearly a departure from the food at Parachute, which consists of the pair's riffs on Korean flavors and ingredients.
The new restaurant represents a step up in ambition for Clark and Kim, and why not? They've got the following; they've got the talent. And now they have the Wherewithall.

Entrepreneurs throw around the term "disruption" to describe a new technology or a small supply chain shift. In reality, disruption threatens existing companies and business models by changing the game entirely. Rather than seeking to disrupt a market, consider trying to reinvigorate it.
Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen says that innovations can be sustaining or disruptive. Sustaining innovations improve existing products and technologies without prompting crushing blows from powerful industry heads. Companies attempting to reinvigorate an industry can incite significant growth for all players, much like the open source software movement of the '90s that led to incredible technological advancement.
Forgoing disruption for reinvigoration also lets you change the type of war your company is waging. Spotify circumvented the stalemate of music ownership when it used streaming technology to let customers listen to music anywhere while paying musicians for every play. Both sustaining and disruptive innovations can transform an industry, but reinvigorating an industry could be a smarter path for your company's long-term health.
When many large shows, exhibitors, and venues noticed our efforts to combat imbalanced practices that kept the industry from reaching its growth potential, big industry players started approaching us to solve their pain points. In turn, we gained support, guidance, and invaluable connections.
As we continued solving problems for exhibitors, we realized we'd just hit the tip of the iceberg. Show organizers also benefitted from our product and offered iterative feedback on product features and development, which pushed us in the right direction. The industry is now in its most profitable period of growth yet.
Companies that blatantly disregard consumers simply can't survive. You need to listen to your customers, figure out their sharpest pain points, and find a way to soothe those. Consider surveying customers to collect feedback on products, software, and services. Closing the feedback loop will ensure you're putting customers first.
Yelp did this by equipping consumers with the knowledge to make smarter purchase decisions. In the past, consumers researching products relied on professional critics alone. Through review sites such as Yelp, consumers now have an outlet to share their opinions and a source for unbiased product information.
The best solutions are compromises because they allow everyone to benefit from a reinvigorated industry. Although every company in your market might not support your efforts, you should press on and seek to benefit those that are open to change.
Tesla Motors chose to open its patents to competitors last year. That's not something you see every day. By sharing its technologies, Tesla may inspire a more dramatic shift toward electric vehicles, providing other companies with profitable opportunities in the process.
When you're immersed in your business, it's easy to spot the major players in your space. Once you've weeded out competitors from the list, strive to gain influencer support and ask them for advice or a partnership.
Industry veterans could have working theories or other strategic insight you need to know. The best way to become an expert is to learn from them.
Buzzwords won't keep your industry afloat. Reinvigorating your industry with sustaining innovations, however, might just do the trick. Find a way to help your customers and other members in your industry. When you aim to usher in positive change for everyone involved, others will be eager to follow your lead.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Mayor's Fund to Advance NYC, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the New York City Football Club, Etihad Airways, and adidas announced the launch of the NYC Soccer Initiative, a first-of-its-kind public-private partnership that will build, maintain, and program 50 mini soccer fields in underserved neighborhoods across the five boroughs over the next five years – including ten fields within the next year.
The announcement comes with a pledge from all four partners to invest a total of $3 million to build and maintain the fields, and provide free programming for New York City school children, focused on healthy, active living, and mentorship. The program will serve 10,000 young New Yorkers through after-school soccer and mentoring programs, such as soccer clinics, festivals, youth summits, and night leagues to promote safe, active, and connected communities; this will also include a partnership with the City's Young Men's Initiative, providing young men of color with mentorship opportunities.
Through constructing these new fields and supporting afterschool programming and mentoring, the NYC Soccer Initiative will repurpose underutilized public spaces in our most underserved neighborhoods, creating safe areas to promote physical health, youth development and community engagement. Site selection for the fields will be targeted towards neighborhoods that are focuses of the Mayor's Building Healthy Communities Initiative, the Parks Department's Community Parks Initiative, the Mayor's Action Plan for Neighborhood Safety or the Young Men's Initiative.
Visit our Frequently Asked Questions for additional information.
A special thank you to our partners for making this first of its kind initiative a reality. The NYC Soccer Initiative will utilize the U.S. Soccer Foundation's Soccer for Success program and builds off the success of the New York City Football Club's Healthy Hat-Trick program. Nationally, these initiatives have served more than 15,000 young people with after-school programming, positively impacting youth in making healthier food choices and improving confidence.

Other OES estimates and related information:


Like Windsor, Sarnia is a moderate-sized urban centre located on Canada's border with Michigan. A well-established town that still depends heavily on the petrochemical industry, Sarnia has had its problems in the past, but has managed to avoid the economic doldrums that has afflicted its larger sister city.
It boasts a sizable apartment market – mostly in small buildings of 50 units or less.
Sarnia managed to weather the 2008 recession far better than Windsor. Vacancy rates in the city are high by provincial standards but much lower than in Windsor. Average rents have also increased steadily. These conditions, while modest, have still allowed the market to increase, with five new buildings added in the last ten years.
Vacancy rates are higher for three bedroom apartments, continuing a pattern identified in 2009 that saw Sarnia buck the provincial trend that favoured these family-friendly units.
Sarnia looks set for slow but steady growth in the near future as trade increases through the Bluewater Bridge crossing with the United States. The market appears stable and vacancy rates, while high, do not show a big gap between supply and demand.
Opportunities for long term holders north of Highway 402.
Short term and reposition opportunities at city's south end.
Rental supply is scattered geographically in the city, the best stock is found near the river and downtown.
The downtown core is attractive and an asset.
Diversified ownership may allow acquisition.

The countdown to the premiere
The countdown to the world premiere has begun and seeing it all come together is so exciting. There is no better place to first show the film than in the beautiful screening room at the Portland Art Museum. I hope that if you are in Portland on May 11, you will consider coming to one of the screenings that day. 3 pm matinee tickets ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE (no tickets will be available at the door), so go to http://bit.ly/2nPWqtO to purchase yours!! Tickets for the 7pm screening are available at the door OR online at http://bit.ly/2n5x2Du. After the premiere, the film is playing on May 14 at the Nice International Film Festival. It is nominated for Best Feature Documentary, Best Feature Documentary Director and the Science and Education Award.
One of the most touching parts of the film for me, as we finish up, is to watch the names of all of you scroll up the screen as a reminder and a thank you of your contribution to the film. It moves by to the song "Oregon (I can't go home)." Most people from Oregon will remember this song by the group Black Hawk County who wrote the song to help an Oregon woman come home from a Turkish prison. The members of Black Hawk county will be attending the 3:00pm screening. Say hello to them if that is the screening you will attend. I am providing an upload of an MP3 of Michael Bacon's arrangement of the song as a thank you, and to whet your desire to see the film: click here.
Speaking of Michael Bacon, and the music for the film, it has been an amazing collaboration. When we first started talking about which instruments I liked, I told him cello and guitar. He plays them both, and many more in the band he has with his brother, The Bacon Brothers. Then I told him I would like some bassoon in there. He looked at me quizzically and said, "Interesting... a bassoon is not typically used for documentaries." My motivation was not necessarily musical. My life-long friend from Portland, Susan Shepperd, is the parent of a talented third-year Kovner Fellow at Juilliard. Forever wanting to be a matchmaker in this profession, I thought it would be fun for Blair to get some studio recording time. Her contributions to the music and therefore the film were magical. And Michael was delighted with her skill.

Director Sandra Luckow records narration for this personal and emotional film.
Michael, Sandra and Michael's lovely wife Betsy celebrated the completion of the music at one of Sandra's favorite restaurants in her neighborhood, The Pandering Pig. Leave it to Michael to ask for a discount since his last name is a pork product. The owner was utterly confused.
So the final mix of all the sound in the film is April 27th and the online will be on the 29th and 30th. In the meantime I have a team of lawyers working on errors and omissions insurance. Think of it like malpractice insurance for a producer. I have taken every step to minimize risk but when you are dealing with mental illness, it can be maddeningly unpredictable.
I am so looking forward to personally thanking many of you in Portland on May 11th. After the film was profiled on Pete Earley's blog, I have received so many messages from people who have had a similar experience. I hope the film will be a call to action and change.

Sister of Saudi blogger sentenced to 1,000 lashes is arrested for running a Twitter account demanding the release of her husband – another prominent activist
Samar Badawi detained in Jeddah along with her two-year-old daughter
Her brother Raif was recently sentenced to ten years and 1,000 lashes
She faces charges she was managing a human-rights activist's account

The sister of a Saudi blogger sentenced to a thousand lashes has been arrested for running a Twitter account demanding the release of her husband - another prominent activist.
Samar Badawi, whose brother Raif Badawi was also sentenced to 10 years in prison, was detained in Jeddah along with her two-year-old daughter.
She was interrogated by police for four hours before being transferred to Dhaban prison, according to Amnesty International.

The NGO said the arrest amounted to 'damning proof' of the kingdom's human rights abuses.
Raif Badawi's wife, Ensaf Haidar, posted on Twitter that her sister-in-law was arrested on charges that she was managing a prominent human-rights activist's account.
That activist, Waleed Abulkhair, who is also Samar Badawi's ex-husband, is serving out a 15-year jail sentence.

Samar Badawi was 'arrested on the charge of directing @WaleedAbulkhair,' Haidar, who is a refugee in Quebec, Canada, said on Twitter.
The arrest 'demonstrates the extreme lengths to which the authorities are prepared to go in their relentless campaign to harass and intimidate human rights defenders into silent submission,' said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa program.
Samar Badawi, who has been under a travel ban by the country's Ministry of the Interior since December 2014, will appear before a judge Tuesday, the nonprofit said.

'The arrest... is the latest example of Saudi Arabia's utter contempt for its human rights obligations and provides further damning proof of the authorities' intent to suppress all signs of peaceful dissent,' Amnesty added.
Raif Badawi, 31, was arrested in 2012 and convicted of 'insulting Islam.'
His initial public flogging of 50 lashes in January sparked an international outcry against Saudi Arabia and its human rights record.
He co-founded the Saudi Liberal Network Internet discussion group, which promoted free speech and sought an end to the influence of religious leaders on public life in one of the world's most conservative countries.
In 2012, Samar Badawi met with US First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she received an International Women of Courage Award
