Gerhard Hirschmann (* 27. März 1993) ist ein österreichischer Politiker der Freiheitlichen Partei Österreichs (FPÖ). Vom 17. Dezember 2019 bis zum 24. März 2020 war er Abgeordneter zum Landtag Steiermark.

Leben
Gerhard Hirschmann wurde nach der Gemeinderatswahl 2015 Mitglied des Gemeinderates in Heiligenkreuz am Waasen. Von November 2017 bis Oktober 2019 war er Mitarbeiter des Nationalratsabgeordneten Josef Riemer im FPÖ-Parlamentsklub. Im März 2019 wurde Hirschmann als Nachfolger von Riemer zum FPÖ-Bezirksparteiobmann im Bezirk Leibnitz gewählt. Von Juni 2019 bis September 2021 war er Landesobmann-Stellvertreter des Ringes Freiheitlicher Jugend (RFJ) in der Steiermark.

Bei der Landtagswahl 2019 kandidierte er auf dem 18. Listenplatz der Landesliste sowie hinter Spitzenkandidat Mario Kunasek auf dem zweiten Listenplatz im Landtagswahlkreis 3 (Weststeiermark). Am 17. Dezember 2019 wurde er zu Beginn der XVIII. Gesetzgebungsperiode als Abgeordneter zum Landtag Steiermark angelobt, wo er Mitglied in den Ausschüssen für Notsituationen, Kontrolle, Klimaschutz, Europa sowie Verfassung wurde. Im FPÖ-Landtagsklub war er für die Bereiche Jugend, Menschenrechte, Umwelt und Klimaschutz sowie Suchtfragen und Drogen zuständig.

Im Zuge der Berichterstattungen über jene, die die Ausgangsbeschränkungen ignorieren, wurde auch über eine "Corona-Party" mit lauter Musik von vier Männern am 21. März 2020 in einem Vereinslokal in Heiligenkreuz am Waasen berichtet. Einer dieser vier war Hirschmann, der wie die anderen von der Polizei in der Folge angezeigt wurde. Neben scharfer Kritik durch andere Parteien wurde er auch parteiintern verwarnt. Daraufhin erklärte Hirschmann am 24. März seinen Rücktritt von allen politischen Funktionen, weil ihm eine "seriöse Fortführung seiner politischen Tätigkeit im Sinne der FPÖ nicht mehr möglich" sei. Im Landtag rückte mit 7. April 2020 Helga Kügerl auf den frei gewordenen Platz nach. Hirschmann blieb Gemeinderat in Heiligenkreuz am Waasen. Bereits einen Monat später präsentierte er sich am 9. Mai auf der Facebook-Seite der Heiligenkreuzer FPÖ erneut als Bezirksparteiobmann und deren Spitzenkandidat für die Gemeinderatswahlen in der Steiermark 2020. Das Strafverfahren gegen Hirschmann wurde eingestellt. In der konstituierenden Sitzung am 23. Juli 2020 wurde er zum Gemeindekassier von  Heiligenkreuz am Waasen gewählt.

Am 19. März 2022 wurde Hirschmann von 96,77 % der Delegierten wieder zum FPÖ-Bezirksparteiobmann im Bezirk Leibnitz gewählt.

Maroons' kids are all right
After a long training camp and pre-season, head coach Tyler Roeszler said the Chatham Maroons no longer had any rookies.

After a long training camp and pre-season, head coach and general manager Tyler Roeszler said the Chatham Maroons no longer had any rookies.
He felt the first-year players already had the experience needed to make an impact.
Maroons' kids are all right Back to video
One month into the season, some certainly are.
Fifteen of 17 goals in the Maroons' last three games were scored by rookies.
Dylan Glinski led the way during that stretch with eight goals, including two more Sunday in a 6-3 win over the Strathroy Rockets before 402 fans at Chatham Memorial Arena.
"I'm glad we got the team win today," said Glinski, who had his second consecutive hat trick Saturday in a 7-5 loss at Komoka.
"Yesterday we didn't have a great start, but I'm glad we played a full 60 today."
Glinski now leads the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League's Western Conference with 10 goals, one more than teammate Cameron Symons and ex-Maroon Zach Power of the London Nationals.
"It's definitely a good stretch here, but you've got to just keep having fun," said the 18-year-old from Freeland, Mich. "That's all I've been doing – trying to keep having fun with these guys.
"It's a great atmosphere around here, especially when you're putting the puck in the net. It's a good time right now. Even yesterday, we were putting the puck in the net, we just didn't have a great start. Having a good start is what's most important."
Rookie defencemen Colin Whaley, Warren Clark and Ty Durston also found the net Sunday. Symons was the Maroons' lone veteran scorer.
Whaley's goal was his second in two days.
"Pucks were just bouncing my way," he said. "(Lucas) Fancy gave me a nice feed. He really did all the work. I was just there to put it away."
Brenden Stroble made 23 saves as the Maroons improved to 6-4-1-0.
Glinski opened the scoring on a power play at 7:10 of the first period, but Brandon Balazs drew the Rockets even with a man-advantage goal at the 12-minute mark. The Maroons needed only 32 seconds to regain the lead for good on Clark's goal.
"We had a way better start (than Saturday)," Whaley said. "We came out a lot hotter and I think we just never really gave up. We played a full 60 minutes out there."
Whaley scored 10 seconds into the second period and Symons followed at 4:50 for a 4-1 lead.
The Rockets trailed by at least two the rest of the way.
"Just keeping positive on the bench was very key today," Glinski said. "I think guys were kind of getting on each other yesterday. Today was a lot better."
Riley Wood and Ryan Marshall scored the Rockets' other goals. Matthew Brazeau gave up five goals on 31 shots before he was replaced by Gordie O'Dwyer, who stopped 12 of 13 shots.
NOTES: Durston's goal was his first in the GOJHL. … Fancy, Cameron Welch, Connor Paronuzzi and Issac LeGood each had two assists. Symons also had two points, … The Maroons' .591 winning percentage ranks fifth in the Western Conference. … The Maroons will visit the Sarnia Legionnaires on Thursday and host the St. Thomas Stars at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The energy business is not an area where outsiders tend to do well. From California to Azerbaijan, investors who lack an inside edge frequently get left in the cold. David Leuschen is one of those on the inside. In 2000, after 22 years in Goldman Sachs' energy group, Leuschen and partner Pierre Lapeyre partnered with The Carlyle Group to create an energy-focused investment firm. Riverstone currently has approximately $1bn under management. We spoke with Leuschen about his history in, and passion for, the sprawling energy sector.

The Nordic venture market: Facts and figures
A brief summary of activity in the four main venture capital markets within the Nordic region.
Backing a weakened market
Institutional investors are intent on helping the Nordic venture market put the past behind it and maintain a supply of finance to young companies that are strong enough to survive.
Life in a colder climate
New players arrive every year, existing firms are keen to expand their operations and the quality of advisers is acknowledged to be first class. But with deal flow drying up, could the Nordic buyout market fall victim to its own hype? Andy Thomson reports.
Military discharge
The US venture capital industry got an early boost from military men. Udayan Gupta profiles General Georges Doriot, who returned from World War II to create the first modern US venture capital fund.
Thanks to the phenomenal growth of the technology industry, venture capital has now permanently captured the imagination of investors, as well as the allocations of most major US institutions. It wasn't always this way. David Snow catches up with five old-school venture capitalists who invested during an era when dollars were few and awareness of technology as a business opportunity was embryonic.
It takes a hotbed
America's venture capital industry thrives in a handful of regional hubs hard-wired for entrepreneurialism and technological innovation. Art Janik takes a tour of these venture capital hotbeds and discovers a collection of communities gradually but solidly recovering from the excesses of the 1990s.
Investing in telecoms
Is the global telecommunications sector ripe for the kind of disruptive innovation that early stage investors thrive on? Giuseppe Curatolo, a London-based venture capitalist, pursues an answer.
Invest locally, exit globally
Venture capital investment in technology is an increasingly international business, practised most successfully by US venture groups. Their European peers are finding it tough to keep up. As the market downturn draws to a close, Europe's venture capitalists are attempting to map out globally competitive strategies. Does the road lead one way only: to the US market – and to NASDAQ?

Not only is the IFC distinctive for being part of a supranational agency (the World Bank), but it is also dedicated to promoting private equity in emerging markets: not the easiest of places for an investor hoping to see a meaningful return from its activities. Barger explains to Philip Borel why the rewards of investing in these parts of the world are worth the extra risk.

Debate Recap: Ward 16 candidate JP Boutros pushes for a sensible Scarborough transit plan
By: Metro Canada Published on Fri Oct 10 2014
After years of repetitive and frustrating back-and-forth, Toronto is approaching D-Day for the Scarborough subway debate.
No final decisions have been made yet — don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise — but there's good reason to think the results of the mayoral election and a subsequent council vote tied to the 2015 budget process will seal the deal. Once signed agreements are in place and dedicated money is being spent on the subway plan, even the most ardent LRT supporter will need to back down and welcome our new subway overlords.
For now, though, there's still a chance for council to back the LRT. But to do that we'll need to see councillors elected this month who understand why the subway is unnecessary and can effectively argue the merits of the original plan.
Ward 16 candidate Jean-Pierre Boutros is one of those candidates. Though he spent much of the last four years working as an adviser for subway supporter Coun. Karen Stintz, Boutros has announced that he never warmed to his boss' stance. He's since become one of the city's sharpest critics of the subway plan and its associated 1.6 per cent residential property tax revenue increase.
At the recent Rogers TV Ward 16 debate, facing off against 13 other candidates, Boutros was at his best when the topic turned to transit.
But before things got there, candidates were asked about public safety and crime. Candidate Terry Mills got things rolling by suggesting that high levels of construction played a role in what was characterized as a recent increase in break-and-enters. Candidate Christin Carmichael-Greb agreed, adding that her "number one concern is that we don't know who's supposed to be in our neighbourhoods."
A few candidates called for specific measures to tackle local crime. Boutros called for more CCTV cameras on arterial routes, while Adam Tanel said the key is getting police officers out of squad cars and into neighbourhoods. Candidate Gary Heaney suggested people get dogs, presumably because dogs will take a bite out of crime.
But many candidates stuck to the vague notion that we need more police officers. Candidates Charm Darby and Dyanoosh Youssefi offered the strongest push back to that idea, with Darby pointing out that "money does not grow on trees" and calling for community-based strategies. Youseffi — very impressive throughout the entire debate — noted that Toronto already spends a ton on policing, and instead called for alternative approaches to reducing crime.
On the transit front, virtually all the candidates stated their support for the downtown relief line. The need for the line is particularly evident in Ward 16, where people heading southbound on the subway generally end up waiting as packed trains roll through Eglinton station.
Thomas Gallezot earned points for jumping right to the funding issue. "There is no way the transit infrastructure of an economic powerhouse such as Toronto can be financed by the sole Torontonians — let alone just TTC users," he said.
There were some innovative ideas from the panel. Candidate Michael Coll was among a few who called for lower fares on the TTC's Avenue Road Express Bus. He also wants to expand the city's underground PATH system to Yonge & Eglinton. Tanel pushed for faster implementation of automatic train control, which he said will add 30 per cent capacity to the Yonge subway line. And, of course, several candidates talked up the benefits of synchronized traffic lights.
Then there was Boutros, who of course turned the conversation toward a project far removed from Ward 16: the Scarborough subway.
"My boss was TTC chair Karen Stintz and I disagree with her on the Scarborough subway," he said.
"Anyone who agrees with the Scarborough subway in Ward 16 is doing a disservice to Ward 16 simply because we are paying 1.6 per cent more tax for no reason. That money can be allocated for surface transit in Ward 16 and throughout the city. We need to re-prioritize what precious money we have. It disappointed me. I want to correct that and get the LRT agreement back."
Youseffi backed up Boutros' view, pointing out that Scarborough isn't likely to see the higher densities that would justify the subway. She called for a more holistic approach to transportation.
"We need a plan that will increase bike lanes and get people on transit and that will improve WheelTrans for seniors," she said.
Candidate Sean Conacher wasn't convinced the city should go back to the LRT. He asked Boutros pointedly if he planned on reversing council's decision and whether that would hold up badly-needed transit construction.
Boutros responded by saying that the only decision that exists is the LRT decision.
"There has been no negotiation to this point between the provincial government and the city and the TTC with respect to the Scarborough subway," he said. "I know that for a fact."
As for the concern that re-opening old debates would just mean more delay, Boutros was emphatic about what needs to happen, declaring "We end the discussion and empower Metrolinx. Once and for all."
With D-Day for the Scarborough subway debate approaching, voters in Ward 16 and across the city really have to think about who they want on the front lines.

Delhi Sikh delegation demands UK apology
Comments Off on Delhi Sikh delegation demands UK apology 1,089 Views
London, UK: A three-member delegation of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has demanded an apology from Prime Minister David Cameron for Britain's role in the build-up to the 1984 Operation Bluestar in Amritsar.
The delegation led by DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK met Giles Thompson, head of South Asia affairs in the British foreign office, on Friday and delivered a letter to Cameron, seeking the apology. GK said after the meeting that besides the apology, the delegation also demanded an inquiry by a joint commission comprising judicial officers of both countries and representatives of the Sikh community.
He said T hompson had assured the delegation that the apology demand would be conveyed to the PM and a decision taken at the highest level. The letter referred to the recently declassified British documents that suggested that in February 1984, India had sought and thethen Margaret Thatcher government in the UK had agreed to extend military advice to deal with the difficult situation in the Golden Temple Complex at Amritsar.
The delegation also sought the return of the Sikh artefacts and scriptures kept in British museums, or suggested placing them under one roof in a London gallery. "The suggestion was well received and we were assured that it would be passed on to the relevant ministry," said GK.
The delegation also discussed plans for cultural and educational exchange between British and the DSGMC institutions, besides the welfare of nearly 10-lakh Sikhs living in the United Kingdom. The welfare of Indians held in detention centres for deportation was also discussed. DSGMC general secretary and Delhi legislator Manjinder Singh Sirsa; and DSGMC's international affairs adviser Puneet Singh Chandhok were present.

Q: What does the `test` instruction do? I'm looking at some small assembler codes and I'm having trouble understanding the TEST instruction and its use. I'm looking at the following code at the end of a loop:
8048531:    84 c0                   test   al,al
8048533:    75 dc                   jne    8048511 <function+0x2d>

The way i understand TEST is that it works a bit like the AND operator and it sets some flags. I guess I don't really understand how the flags work. test al,al to me looks like it checks the same lower bits and will always get the same results.
Can someone explain?

A: It tests the register against itself, just to set the flags. The result will be different for a zero and a non-zero value.

'Don't Think Twice' Scripts Improv With Ease Sad sacks and stage hogs chase stardom in Don't Think Twice. But rest assured writer/director Mike Birbiglia keeps it funny.
'Don't Think Twice' Scripts Improv With Ease
'Don't Think Twice' Scripts Improv With Ease 3:48
< 'Don't Think Twice' Scripts Improv With Ease
July 22, 20169:37 AM ET
The first time Mike Birbiglia wrote, directed and starred in a film, he played a stand-up comic. It wasn't a huge stretch for him. He is a stand-up comic. His new movie "Don't Think Twice" doesn't stray too far from that model. It's about an improv comedy troupe, a lot like the one in which he got his start. Well, that is a lot of navel-gazing for one filmmaker. Happily, NPR critic Bob Mondello says Birbiglia is keeping it funny.
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: They call themselves The Commune, and that feels right - six young comics working as one doing improv in Manhattan, where if you're lucky, someone from television will spot you. One night, it looks like The Commune might get lucky.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "DON'T THINK TWICE")
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #1: (As character) We're going to hold 10.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #2: (As character) Wait. Why?
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As character) Why?
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #1: (As character) I called (unintelligible). He's bringing over some producers from "Weekend Live!"
MONDELLO: Nerves are natural. In this case, all eyes turn to one guy.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) Hey Jack, don't showboat out there.
KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY: (As Jack) What are you talking about? Why would I do that?
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) You know you always do that. Anyone from the industry shows up, you turn into a one-man audition.
MONDELLO: But now's not the time. The audience is waiting. So...
GILLIAN JACOBS: (As Samantha) Hi, I'm Sam.
MIKE BIRBIGLIA: (As Miles) Miles.
KATE MICUCCI: (As Allison) Allison.
TAMI SAGHER: (As Lindsay) Lindsay.
KEY: (As Jack) Jack.
JACOBS: (As Samantha) And we are The Commune.
JACOBS: (As Samantha) In fact, everything you see tonight is going to be improvised. And it's all about you guys. So did anybody out there have a particularly hard day?
MONDELLO: Someone did.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #3: (As character) Yeah, I saw my dad for the first time in 10 years today.
JACOBS: (As Samantha) Really, where?
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #3: (As character) He drives a taxi, and I just randomly got into his cab.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) Fact-checking...
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) You got into a taxi. You did not know it was your dad, and then you said, hi, Dad.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #3: (As character) Yeah, I said, hi, Dad.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) Well, OK.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #4: (As character) Wow.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) Hop in.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS #4: (As character) Oh.
MONDELLO: And they're off - troupe leader Miles and the others doing the improv thing very amusingly, feeding off each other, listening, bouncing ideas.
JACOBS: (As Samantha) I have abandonment issues. My father left me, so I basically only relate to men through sex.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) That's challenging for me to hear.
MONDELLO: When Jack pops in, as expected, his approach is no less funny, but it's not about bouncing off the others.
KEY: (As Jack) As the president of the United States of America...
KEY: (As Jack) I believe that it's not only my duty to find your father but also have him pick you up in a cab and take you to your destination.
MONDELLO: Jack apologizes afterwards, but his showboating gets results - an audition for "Weekend Live!" at which point these folks who are so skilled at improv must improvise. What would happen to The Commune if one of them were to become a breakout success?
CHRIS GETHARD: (As Bill) For years I was like, it's either Jack or Miles but probably Jack.
MONDELLO: Miles is played by filmmaker Mike Birbiglia as a sad sack with a wicked sense of humor. Jack is played by Keegan-Michael Key as an opportunist with a conscience, and they're surrounded by folks who are terrific at the improv thing and who in fact did club dates together to develop some of the material you see them doing on screen.
"Don't Think Twice" is structured to be about what fame does to relationships, what chasing fame does to the few who find it and to the many who don't. But mostly it's a celebration of improv. At the beginning of the film, the cast lays out the forum's three rules.
First, say yes, meaning buy into whatever reality your partner presents you with. Second, remember that it's all about the group, not about you. And finally, don't think. Get out of your head. Live in the moment - all good advice on stage or in life or, as it happens, in movies where for a snappy 92 minutes, "Don't Think Twice" manages to convince you it is following those rules to the letter. I'm Bob Mondello.


Every year a large pool of people enters Australia or moves from one place to another within the country for different reasons. Where moving places sound adventurous to the mind, at the same time, it is a very taxing and tardy task if a right mover has not taken on board.
There are many mover scammers and companies with shoddy practices exist in Australia. Therefore, finding the quality movers Williamstown to help you with the process would require you to invest yourself in the research process.
Prepare a list of goods moving companies in Australia by searching online and also by asking your friends or relatives for referrals. A good moving company should have professional methods, procedures, processes and people to do the job.
A goods moving company keeps track of all the stuff being moved from one place to another carefully. They usually label the items and prepare a list for themselves and for the client for cross-checking purposes.
A quality mover asks specific and relevant questions from the client. They know that moving stuff requires classification of it in terms of which stuff has to be moved? Which one would be donated? Which one would be discarded? And, which one would be placed on a home-leaving-garage-sale? This helps them in making arrangements accordingly.
Generally, good Australians movers do not go hastily about the payments. They demand it on getting the job done or would ask for very minimal percentage before the task. Never pay 100% in advance to your house-movers else you would have no control over them or might also not be able to see your stuff again. Also, make payment from credit card to help protect you in case of any fraudulent activity.
Another important tip is to take those moving companies aboard who are registered with the government and have the license for operations. Accreditation or certification of services being offered by the company or being performed by its employees is also great if found. One such mover in Australia is Removalist on the Run whose staff is well-trained by undertaking accredited courses on OH&S, handling practices and work cover making them a good and a trustworthy to hire.
It is important that you should shortlist at least 3 companies to choose from in Australia. Read their testimonials, ask for references from clients, check out the range of their services, get price quotes and read customer reviews. Then do the comparisons.
If you have valuables in your stuff then it is best to get professional packing services instead of doing the packing job yourself to save money. Professional packers may charge a bit higher but provide optimal services, labour and time. Few movers are packers as well and hence, also take the responsibility of stuff from packing phase to the moving phase.
You need to ask yourself if you are moving to and from the ground floor or 10th floor, if the house has a single story or double story, if the vehicle could be parked outside the house or not, if stairs or elevators would be required or not, to name a few. All these questions would lead up to surcharges and therefore, it is important that you negotiate these with the moving company beforehand.
Never sign a blank contract with a mover in Australia, in fact, get everything properly elaborated and in writing. Mover's estimated price, as well as surcharges list, should also be mentioned in the contract along with the time and date of pickup and delivery.
It is important to be aware of the reporting and claim process if your delivered stuff is tempered or broken or impaired. There is usually a certain number of months given to claim damaged belongings from the mover. You should know what that slab of duration is in Australia, to use it when required.
Movers in Australia generally take the responsibility of goods being transported and also, assume the liability in case of any damages. However, there are 2 levels of liabilities: Full Value Protection – mover takes the complete responsibility if goods get damaged while in custody. They can then either restore it to its actual condition or have to replace it with a similar item or will have to pay for it. Second is Alternative Level of Liability – The most economical option where minimal per amount to weight (pound or kg) of the broken item is paid to the client.
Before signing up with any mover in Australia, it is important to go through the aforementioned tips to choose better. There are all kinds of movers available but finding quality over quantity is the key. Removalist on the Run is one such provider with a range of its quality services that can help you in moving conveniently as well as professionally.


Sometimes the weight of the Everday pervades us. It seeps into our pores along with the bathroom cleaner, and pinches at us like clothespegs.
The mandatory nature of the Everyday brings us security, comfort and a sense of accomplishment, there's no doubt about it - but it can also become claustrophobic and mind-numbing if we don't actively seek out experiences - or make plans for those experiences - that bring us the most joy.
One of my greatest joys (and that of my family) is travel. If I don't do it often enough, I start to go a little stir crazy. We may have done a lot of travel but it's only because we make it a priority - we shun a second car, a mansion and many luxuries in order to do as much travel as we can - and to me, it's worth every cent.
As it's been far too long since I was last in Europe, it brings me untold breathless joy to have made the decision, along with Husband, to plan a Europe trip with the kids. It may be 18 months away, but the anticipation and overwhelming glee I feel about planning this trip is almost too much to hold within.
I want to climb to the top of this mountain in the Dolomites (below, taken 1994) and scream - "I'm coming back!" I can't even express how excited I am.
Planning for things that bring us such joy are a joy in the very planning. Deciding to plan this trip has made the Everyday drudgery that's so typical mid way through the year - into something so much easier to bear.
What are you hankering to plan? Something extra special to make the Everyday shine a little bit brighter?
I'm so happy for you. And I agree - the anticipation and planning and lead-up to a trip are all part of it. You're in for an amazing 18 months.
Definitely as good as the holiday itself (sadly, sometimes better!) I can only image how excited you must be to show this part of the world to the kids. Good for you. You deserve it.....and stop in VN on the way!
Tan, definately agree that holiday planning is a must in our busy lives.....Europe with the kids will be awesome.

Israel's Supreme Court Bans Lawmaker From Minister Post, Setting Up Potential Coalition Crisis

By Ron Kampeas
In a decision that could lead to the dissolution of Israel's new government coalition, the country's Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that a minister who has been previously convicted in multiple fraud cases is not fit to serve in government.
The Court ruled 10-1 to disqualify Aryeh Deri, a longtime lawmaker and leader of a haredi Orthodox party, from his role as health and interior minister, citing his conviction last year for tax fraud. Deri had also previously served nearly two years in prison for taking bribes two decades ago.
If Deri pulls the 11 lawmakers from his Shas Party out of the ruling coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would lose his majority. The coalition currently controls 64 seats in the 120-member Knesset, or parliament.
Leaders of the coalition issued a statement vowing to use "legal means … to correct the injustice," The Washington Post reported.
Netanyahu did not issue a statement on Wednesday. If he ignores the decision, he could plunge Israel into a constitutional crisis at a time when his new far-right government is already facing massive domestic protests and is under international scrutiny for proposals that would curtail the Supreme Court's power. In recent years, the Supreme Court has banned Israeli construction on private Palestinian lands in the West Bank, forced the acceptance of non-Orthodox conversions and guaranteed some rights to gay couples — all of which the new government opposes.
Netanyahu has also been under investigation in multiple corruption cases for years.
The prime minister appeared at least initially to sympathize with Deri, visiting him at his home. "When my brother is in distress, I come to him," The New York Times quoted Netanyahu as saying.
Deri wields considerable power as head of the interior and health ministries, each with a massive budget. The Interior Ministry also helps determine policy on civil and immigration issues, an area of interest for the haredi Orthodox community as it seeks to expand its influence.
A statement on Twitter suggested Deri would not go gently. "I intend to continue with great strength and boldness the social revolution our rabbis of blessed memory launched for Jewish identity and assistance for the weak," he said. "We will do this with power, standing tall, with God's help."

DC Federal Drug Arraignment and Bond Hearings
At an arraignment and bond hearing for a federal drug case in DC a judge will make a determination about whether or not the individual should be released or held without bail. When making this decision a judge will consider a variety of factors including the defendant's prior criminal history, the nature of the drug offense, the accusation, whether any violence is involved, if they have strong ties with the community, or have assets that could be put up as part of the bond.
Pleas in DC Federal Drug Cases
Risks if Held Until Trial
Federal vs State Arraignments
Federal arraignments in DC take place before one of three magistrate judges. The magistrates rotate, so depending on the time of the month, an individual could end up in one of the three magistrate's courtrooms.
With an arraignment at the state level, some of the procedures are similar. It is a question of what state or what jurisdiction an individual is in. Each state has a version of this so that when charges are lodged against a person, there is a determination made about where the person should be while the case is pending. These procedures take a variety of forms, however, the basics are the same.
In the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the rules of procedure mirror those in federal court. The local statute in DC contemplates the dangerousness and the flight risk analysis; the standards are essentially the same as those in federal court.
Flight Risk & Danger to Public Risk
The two factors that the judge considers when determining bond are whether the individual is a danger to the community and there is a risk of flight. The standard is whether a person is such a danger or flight risk that no combination of conditions can assure the judge that the community will be safe if the individual is released or that they will reappear in court. At this point, the judge analyzes the situation and makes a determination.
The danger to the community includes the common sense definition of danger. The standard question is, is there any combinations of conditions that would assure the safety of the community.
Establishing a strong work history is sometimes useful in showing that a person is not a danger to their community. Showing involvement in community organizations such as churches can also establish that a person is not a danger. There are a variety of things a lawyer can do at this stage of the process.
Often in a drug case that does not involve weapons, there is a strong argument that could be made that a person is not too dangerous. However, the government often argues that there is a large quantity of drugs involved and that indicates danger to others. If there is any indication of violence, then the government often argues that you are someone who cannot be in the community because they are too dangerous.
Bond Release
There is a statute that judges must follow when making bond release decisions at an arraignment. When determining if a person should be released on bond, the judge will consider whether the person is so dangerous or is at such a high risk of flight that no combination of conditions can assure the safety of the community if the defendant is released.
In the majority of cases, the government prosecutors will request at the arraignment that the defendant be held without bond until there is a detention hearing which must take place a minimum of three business days later. Sometimes, it takes place at a later time because of the time it takes to prepare for the hearing.
However, when a request is made for a three-day hold for a detention hearing, the judge must make the determination if there is an affidavit filed by law enforcement. If on the face of the affidavit or within the document there is probable cause that a crime occurred and the defendant did something wrong, the judge must hold them for that time frame.
At a detention hearing, the judge does not have to hold a person. The problem is that, in most federal drug cases, the maximum possible sentence is longer than 10 years. Because of that, there is a presumption that lodges against the accused, which means the government asserts that they are a danger or a flight risk. The individual must then show that they are not a danger or a risk of flight which shifts the burden to the accused, making it difficult for them to be released.
A federal drug lawyer is crucial at this point in the process. A lawyer who is experienced in federal arraignments and bond hearings will gather information about prior criminal history, gather information from family members, and will bring them to the court to demonstrate strong family ties.
Additionally, an attorney may take the clients' passports into their possession, in order to make the argument that there is no risk of flight because the person is not able to leave the country without a passport.

Aaron Paul ad is turning on Xbox Ones
Jon Mundy | June 13, 2014 6:00 pm BST
Microsoft's latest Xbox One TV advert is inadvertently turning on people's Xbox One consoles, it's been revealed.
In what amounts to a pretty fundamental oversight, the advert features Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul demonstrating the Kinect system's voice recognition function by saying "Xbox on" to power on his console.
Of course, the nature of the Kinect system is that it's always listening for your vocal commands. When someone says "Xbox on," it's likely to turn on, whether it originates from you sitting in front of your TV or Jesse Pinkman talking from your TV.
As the BBC notes, the ad has sparked a number of bemused complaints on Twitter and Reddit from Xbox One owners.
The issue has been observed with previous Xbox adverts that demonstrate the whole "Xbox…" command prompts. The only solution appears to be to turn off the Kinect system's voice command facility in the Xbox One settings menu.
Of course, a more mischievous observer might suggest that Microsoft has solved the issue itself by effectively killing the Kinect system. In the last month, the company has divorced the voice and motion-tracking system from its latest console, making it a separate peripheral rather than an integral part of the Xbox One system.
The intention was to drop the price of the Xbox One console in order to better compete with Sony's cheaper PS4. While that might well have been wise in the short term, many have speculated that this will effectively end Kinect's long-term future, as well as killing off much of what made the Xbox One distinctive.

Q: jQuery - Remember variables values without using globals Good morning,
I'm building a huge site with tons of contents. I decided, for an easier navigation, to implement an isotope-based filter, with multi categories options. I explain:
All the material that has to be filtered, is stored in a block like
<div class="box CAT1-VALUE CAT2-VALUE CAT3-VALUE">
...
</div>

so I can easly filter it with isotope. My radio buttons output all CAT1, CAT2 and CAT3 values, and they return a value of ".CATX-VALUE"
My js is something like this
$('.filters').on( 'click', 'input', function() {

    var filterValue = this.value;

    $grid.isotope({ filter:  filterValue });
  });

The problem is that once clicked again in a second radio block, obviously old filter is deleted, preventing multi-filters! Is there a way, without using globals variables to store filter values, in order to filter "CAT1-VALUE and CAT2-VALUE"?
Thank you very much for any help!

Volvo checks rear-view mirror as it rolls out new station wagon
Volvo stunned British Touring Car racing with its 850 station wagon | Volvo photos
As Volvo prepares for the February 18 unveiling of its newest station wagon, the V90, the Swedish car company celebrated its wagon-building history by showcasing its longtime wagon heritage.
"We have provenance in the estate (station wagon) segment," Håkan Samuelsson, chief executive at Volvo Cars, said in a news release. "In many people's minds, we are known as the definitive estate brand. While the Volvo brand stands for much more than just wagon, we will proudly carry forward this rich heritage with the V90."
Volvo's station-wagon heritage began with the Duett in 1953, which it claims was "the first car to meet the combined needs of drivers' active leisure time and practical professional lives."
Although wagons got a late start with Volvo, which started producing cars in 1927, wagons represent nearly one-third of all Volvos ever sold.
Here are what Volvo considers to be the highlights of its history with station wagons:
Launched in 1953, the Duett, which had its origins as a delivery van, went on to become one of the most loved models ever, was one of the first Volvos to be exported to the United States and it was immortalized in 1997 by getting its own Swedish postage stamp.
class="size-full wp-image-67495" /> Volvo Duett
The Duett was followed in 1962 by the Amazon, or the 221 as it was officially known. The Amazon was more elegant and refined, and it offered more space in the cargo area. The S model, which offered 115 horsepower, was considered sporty in its day. The rear door was an American-style two-split version — a solution that would return 40 years later on the original XC90.
class="size-full wp-image-67490" /> Volvo 221 Amazon
A refresh of the 1800 sports coupe, the 1800 ES was known in England as a shooting brake: a sporty wagon with space for hunting gear or golf clubs in the back. The 1800 ES was introduced in the autumn of 1971, its most exciting feature possibly being the huge rear windscreen that had no frame. Hinges and handles were fixed directly to the glass, which was very modern in the early 1970s. Since only a little over 8,000 1800 ES were built, it has become one of the most sought-after classic Volvo models.
class="size-full wp-image-67494" /> Volvo 1800 ES
In 1974, the archetypal Volvo wagon car was launched: the 245 — a car still strongly associated with the brand. It remained in production for almost 20 years, until 1993, and was also available in a more exclusive edition — the 265 with a V6 engine. The 1980s marked the launch of the 245 Turbo edition, the world's first wagon with a turbocharged engine.
Volvo 245 Turbo
The Volvo 960 was the final rear-wheel-drive wagon produced by Volvo as a development of the 700 series from the '80s. It was introduced in 1990, featuring smoother body lines and a new 6-cylinder engine. In 1996, its name was changed to the V90 — a name that now returns exactly 20 years later. It was one of the most elegant wagons in Volvo's history.
850 T5-R
With its intense yellow paint job, 240 horsepower and acceleration of 0-62 mph in 6.9 seconds, the Volvo 850 T5-R was a wagon like no other ever seen before. Launched as a limited edition, model year 1994-only version of the 850, the T5-R became an instant collector's item. The Volvo 850 also caught the eye on the race track. It took Europe's racing scene by storm in 1994 when it debuted in the prestigious British Touring Car Championship as the first factory-entered racing wagon.

Sacrificing children for Catholic identity
by Brian Cahill
Brian Cahill, former executive director San Francisco Catholic Charities. (Photo taken from the SFSU Web site)
For almost 10 years as the executive director of San Francisco Catholic Charities, I was directly involved in efforts to manage the tension between what our church teaches in the area of sexuality, and how we carried out our mission to serve the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalized.
We dealt with many challenges, but the most complex, significant and painful issue was same-sex adoption.
Catholic Charities provides a broad range of services to all in need regardless of their faith. Following the 1906 earthquake, finding adoptive homes for orphans was our first program.
For the last 40 years the focus of the Catholic Charities adoption program had been finding suitable placements for foster care children. In recent years we averaged 25 adoptions per year. Few same-sex couples applied, but when they did, we were pleased to work with them if they met the criteria.
We knew that of the 80,000 children in the California foster care system, half were waiting to be adopted. We also knew that the largest cohort of potential adoptive parents for these children were committed same-sex couples who wanted to create family. In the last five years of the program we had placed 136 children, 5 of them in the homes of gay and lesbian couples.
In early 2003, I received a letter from a parishioner questioning whether we were making same-sex placements. I drafted a response explaining the needs of hard-to-place foster children for qualified loving homes, and said we were guided not only by church teaching, but also by the best interests of the children we served and by state law prohibiting discrimination against prospective adoptive parents because of sexual orientation. I sent the draft letter to Archbishop William Levada, and after some minor edits, he approved the letter.
In June of 2003, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued an updated teaching on gay marriage. For the first time, same-sex adoption was prohibited and same-sex adoptive parents were characterized as "doing violence" to children by adopting them. Archbishop Levada was a member of the Congregation at that time.
In his parish advisory of June 30, 2003, he only referenced the reiteration of church teaching on gay marriage and made no reference to adoption. From the point of my letter delineating our practice to his elevation as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he never directed me to change our practice regarding same sex adoption.
In late 2005, the Boston Globe reported that Boston Catholic Charities had been placing children with same-sex couples. In light of the Vatican directive, Boston decided to end their adoption program in early March 2006.
The Boston Globe began to look at San Francisco, and the archdiocesan director of communication alerted Archbishop Levada in Rome. He issued a statement which was released to the Boston Globe on March 9, 2006.
He acknowledged that I told him about three cases of hard-to-place children with same-sex couples. He stated "these placements involved prudential judgments about the needs of the children, the teachings of the Catholic church, and the overall policies of Catholic Charities."
He went on to state that since the 2003 Vatican statement, "it has been and remains my position that Catholic agencies should not place children in homosexual households." It appeared that Roman careerism had trumped pastoral sensitivity and child protection.
Our new Archbishop George Niederauer took a pastoral approach to this issue from the start. We met with the archbishop and his advisors to develop a strategy. We also drafted a joint statement acknowledging church teaching in this area and stating that we would review our adoption program to see how we could best continue to serve the needs of these vulnerable children.
Unfortunately, the archdiocesan communications director subsequently amended the statement to take a more orthodox position, and prematurely released it to the press. Our conflict became public. The real issue here was his desire to tell the world we were stopping these placements and our need to say we were not stopping them until we had an alternative in place.
The archbishop was not happy with either of us, but he was committed to creating an acceptable solution.
We reassured our government partners that we were working on a solution and did not intend to abandon these children. We created a work group of program staff, board members, health care ethicists and two highly qualified priest theologians. Our director of programs began to work with Family Builders, a local adoption agency with rich experience recruiting same-sex couples as adoptive parents. Family Builders also had developed a statewide adoption match Web site called California Kids' Connection. There was limited funding for the Web site, and as a result, county adoption agencies were not using it. Our employees would transition over to Family Builders and staff the Web site. They would answer questions from prospective adoptive parents about specific children, and would help families find an adoption agency in their area so they could begin the adoption process.
Because they would not do specific matching or placing, our consulting theologians determined that for Catholic Charities there would be no formal cooperation with evil. While I didn't consider anything we were doing as evil, I understood the need to be clear that we were not in conflict with church teaching. I tried to ignore my disgust for this particular church teaching.
The archbishop approved the program and our board approved $250,000 annually for the staff allocation and related costs. The workers on the Web site responded to more than 400 inquiries per month, resulting in 40 adoptions a year.
When the collaboration was announced, we had a positive response from our local government partners and from the secular press, but the reaction of the conservative Catholic press was scathing in its criticism and condemnation. In spite of the archbishop's support of the program, there was strong conservative pressure to end the program.
As the recession hit, the Catholic Charities budget deficit forced some painful choices. I retired at the end of 2008, the collaboration with Family Builders ended in 2009, and based on a poorly conceived, disrespectful and harshly written Roman policy, San Francisco Catholic Charities joined Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington and other dioceses abandoning a hundred-year tradition and thousands of needy children.
In a speech at the National Catholic Social Workers Conference, Archbishop Charles Chaput pushed the party line on Catholic identity, urging that Catholic social services must be "explicitly Catholic." I believe Catholic Charities manifests its Catholicism far better by using Mathew 25 as a guide rather than a destructive, irresponsible and un-Christ like Vatican promulgation.

Bt cowpea to be the first GM crop in Ghana
Ghana?s Confined Field Trial (CFT) for genetically modified cowpea , has successfully completed its second year with one more year to go.
The Bt cowpea, developed by Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research at Nyankpala in the Northern Region, would be the first GM crop in Ghana
Dr Ibrahim Dzido Kwasi Atokple, a former Principal Investigator Ghana?s Bt Cowpea CFT project told journalists at a day's media training on biotech communications and science reporting, that after successful completion, the crop would contribute to food security and improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.
The training was organised by SARI in collaboration with the African Agriculture Technology Foundation (AATF) for media practitioners in Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions at the SARI station at Nyankpala.
Dr Atokple said cowpea, the second most important legume after groundnut, stands to increase by about 50 per cent if the CFTs are successful. Crop losses could decrease by between 30 and 90 per cent when the evaluation of pod borer-resistance cowpeas, also known as Barcel??s Thurigensis (BT) cowpea, is completed in the next three years.
The Bt Cowpea which is resistant to the Maruca pod borer, an insect/pest that destroys the conventional type of cowpea, the 'Songotra ' is a major constraint to cowpea production in Africa.
?In the absence of resistance genes in the cowpea germplasm, a new biotechnological innovation has identified a resistance gene from a bacteria species Bacillus thuringensis. This has been transferred into the local cowpea variety to kill the pod borer and also reduce the harmful effect of many insecticide sprays the farmers are exposed to,? he explained.
Dr Atokple said the innovation was developed and evaluated through a joint public-private partnership with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia, AATF in Kenya and SARI as well as other institutions in Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
?From the trial the identified pod borer-resistant cowpea lines was crossed with the commercial cowpea varieties in Ghana, such as Apagbala, Songotra, Padituya for the desired results? he said.
He explained that SARI, will multiply the seeds of the Bt cowpea for commercial quantities after the third year next year for farmers to plant in the three northern regions.
Dr Atopkle said the Bt cowpea would not pose any danger to humans and the environment, adding, ?Unlike GM crops non-GM crops which are sprayed at least six to seven times, during production, GM crops are sprayed at most only twice during production?.
The Deputy Director of SARI and Principal Investigator for the cowpea project, Dr Mumuni Abudulai, debunked the contention that GM crops would kill conventional crops.
He explained that it would be planted alongside the conventional crops.
The Director of SARI, Dr S K Nutsugah, noted that the objective of the project is to contribute to food security and improve the livelihoods of small-holder farmers in West Africa by using biotechnology tools to develop improved, high yielding farmer-preferred cowpea varieties that are resistant to be attacked by Maruca pod borer.
Mr Abu Umaru, a communication specialist with AATF, West Africa Bt cowpea project based in Nigeria, said the project is a public-private partnership co-ordinated by the foundation to develop transgenic cowpea varieties with resistance to Maruca pod borer.
Mrs Linda Asante-Agyei, Vice President of the African Federation of Science Journalists who took the journalists through the essentials of biotechnology and science reporting, urged her colleagues to specialise in science reporting to enable them report on issues to speed up the socio-economic development of the project.
?Science is the bedrock of development in every country and as journalists we need to specialise in these areas to bring out issues for policy interventions,? she said.

The Ghana news Agency (GNA) was established on March 5, 1957, i.e. on the eve of Ghana's independence and charged with the "dissemination of truthful unbiased news". It was the first news agency to be established in Sub-Saharan Africa. GNA was part of a comprehensive communication policy that sought to harness the information arm of the state to build a viable, united and cohesive nation-state. GNA has therefore been operating in the unique role of mobilizing the citizens for nation building, economic and social development, national unity and integration.

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii --
Exercise Valiant Shield participants from the U.S Air Force, Navy, Marines and Army tested the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and Multidomain Operations Center – Forward, 22 Sept. 2020.
The joint team conducted scenarios with a mix of live and virtual aircraft, including a C-17, KC-46 and F-22s, and simulated aircraft to experiment with ABMS. The scenario tested distributed basing and joint fires in a contested environment.
"The way we win in the future is being able to move data quickly. To do this, we need an interconnected battle network which affords us the technological ability to achieve all-domain superiority—on land, sea, undersea, air, space and cyberspace," said Gen. Ken Wilsbach, Pacific Air Forces commander. "This test gave us an opportunity to look at different ABMS options and technology to link the joint force together and exercise command and control across multiple domains during simultaneous missions in the wide Indo-Pacific theater."
The experiment, known as an Onramp #3, leveraged current Air Operations Center weapon systems to detect and defeat adversaries while maintaining air superiority. A major focus for the test during Valiant Shield was Joint All-Domain Command and Control, known more commonly by its acronym JADC2, to give the services an opportunity to work together to implement and test joint operations concepts.
"ABMS demonstrates the Air Force's contribution to Joint All-Domain Operations and the joint warfighter. This system will push down responsibilities to the lowest commander to make better decisions, faster," said Lt. Col. Mike Boyer, Valiant Shield deputy air lead.
VS provided a unique opportunity for the different service branches to develop their joint capabilities in multi-domain operations.
"Training together during exercises such as Valiant Shield validates, refines and enhances the military's ability to present a seamless joint force. The relationships developed through this joint exercise help facilitate clear lines of communication and foster a spirit of cooperation to meet regional and global challenges for mutual benefit," said U.S. Navy Capt. Beau White, Valiant Shield maritime cell lead.
Another experimental portion of the exercise is the MDOC-F, a forward joint center that consolidates the decision making process and gives joint teams the ability to co-locate in order to use U.S assets strategically and in close coordination with other military components.
"The MDOC experiment is accelerating change and exploring every option to best maintain operational momentum in forward echelons in contested environments," said Boyer.
Valiant Shield 20, the eighth iteration since 2006, allows the U.S. joint force to more fully develop Joint All-Domain Operations concepts through exercises and safe experimentation for application in the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility.
Valiant Shield is a biennial, U.S.-only, joint field training exercise held from Sep. 14-25. The primary focus of Valiant Shield was to demonstrate the U.S. military's commitment to preserving, securing, maintaining regional stability and remaining postured to respond when needed.


Lionel only produced its Wabash GP-7 (General Purpose) Diesel in 1957, and was one of the more attractive paint schemes with which Lionel chose to grace a "GP" diesel. This engine was available as part of set 2275W, and for separate sale. Lionel made a similar engine for 1958 - the 2337 - but that edition did not have operating couplers. The 2339 features one powerful pullmor motor, Magne-Traction, die cast trucks, headlights at both ends (which also illuminate the number boards), operating couplers and an operating horn (D Cell battery required, but not included). The body was molded in blue plastic. The gray and white areas were painted. There are ornamental horns and wire hand rails on both sides of the cab. The frame and heavy handrails are painted black. The box was a Late Classic style box with a corrugated insert.

Opinion: Nyesom Wike, 'the Straw that Broke the Camel's Back' in PDP
By Amadin on November 21, 2022 News
While it is obvious that Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor is against the Muslim-Muslim ticket in Nigeria and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's candidacy as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP flag bearer, the outspoken Governor has finally come out to utter these words to a congregation that he would never support any candidate that said: "No other person from any ethnic group could be president."
In a short video clip uploaded on Twitter, Wike outrightly declared that the people of Rivers State would not support that doesn't believe Nigeria belongs to everybody.
He, however, did not mention the name of the politician he was referring to in his speech but cited events and interviews where the culprit used some unpatriotic words while addressing his supporters.
The painful part, according to the Rivers State Governor, is that the politician in question has absolutely no regard for the region in South-South where he hails from, while Atiku was naming states and ethnic groups Nigeria shouldn't allow a taste of the number seat in the country.
He discarded claims that he's not rallying support for his party mate because delegates did not deem him fit to be their flag bearer during the primary election or that his heart is broken by the initial rivalry with a fellow party member and their stance about the future of the PDP, but the point that his identity as an individual is perceived as insignificant and unrecognisable.
Already, among the three top competing Presidential Candidates, precisely Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress APC, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP and Alhaji Atiku, PDP, polls conducted have revealed the latter is the least favoured in the recent vote testings.
Being a core PDP member and one that earlier vied for the Presidential position, but lost, for Nyesom Wike to come to the public and say he would not vote for his party mate is the final 'Straw that Broke the Camel's Back.
Atiku's chances of winning the 2023 Presidential Election is now limited, as the Rivers State Governor's rants would also influence the decisions of many South-South electorates that would now withdraw their support, unless the two politicians eventually reconcile for the party's sake.

Goat Farming course online. Domestic goats are one of the most useful animals to have as they are easy to look after and feed. Therefore, they are very good for farming, as pets, or as pack animals (pack goats).
Goats can also be very useful for the control of weed or grass overgrowth on a property as well as a great source of manure for garden.
Describe how goats are bred.
Determine facilities needed, and husbandry tasks that need to be undertaken for the management of a goat.
Describe Kidding and Raising Kids.
Determine viable plans for farming goats.
The goat is a member of the family Bovidae. The goat specifically belongs to the subfamily caprinae and is closely related to the sheep.
Goats are categorized as an herbivorous mammal and are one of the oldest domesticated species.
Neolithic farmers are known to have herded wild goats to provide them with milk and meat and also bone, sinew and hair for making tools, clothes and building.
Domestic goats are one of the most useful animals to have as they are easy to look after and feed.
In Europe and North America, intensive, high-yielding dairy goat herds are common. In Afghanistan cashmere goats are kept on rangelands for their meat and fleeces. In Africa, subsistence farmers commonly keep dual-purpose goats on their smallholdings for milk and meat. In Australia, goats are farmed and exported for meat in large volumes. Feral goats are commonly run alongside sheep and beef herds in New Zealand to help manage weeds and scrub in pasture. In the 1900's goats have become very popular as pets, more commonly in Europe and North America.
Nowadays, there are over 300 different breeds of goats. Goat breeds fall into a number of general categories. They are generally classified by their main use e.g. dairy, meat, fibre/fleece or companion animals.
Australia has created its own experimental breeds being the All Brown goats breed and, since 2001, the Australian Melaan (the All Black goats breed).
There are also many cross breeds, including crosses between dairy goats and fleece goats.

Berlin ist eine US-amerikanische Popband, die 1979 unter dem Einfluss der Gruppe Blondie sowie der Synthesizer-Pioniere Kraftwerk und Ultravox von John Crawford und Terri Nunn in Los Angeles, Kalifornien gegründet wurde.

Seinen größten kommerziellen Erfolg feierte Berlin im Jahr 1986 mit dem Lied Take My Breath Away aus dem Soundtrack des Kinofilms Top Gun. Weitere Hits waren The Metro, später gecovert von +44, System of a Down und dem Alkaline Trio, sowie No More Words.

1988 trennte sich die Gruppe. Erst 1999 formierte Terri Nunn die Band mit anderen Musikern neu.

Bandgeschichte

1979–1980: Anfänge
Berlin wurde 1979 als New-Wave-Band gegründet, als sich John Crawford auf eine Anzeige der Sängerin Terri Nunn meldete. Trotz des Namens hatte Berlin keine bekannten Verbindungen mit der heutigen Hauptstadt Deutschlands; der Name wurde gewählt, um die Band europäisch und exotisch erscheinen zu lassen. Bereits im Gründungsjahr stieg Nunn aus, da sie sich ihrer Schauspielkarriere widmen wollte. Ersetzt wurde sie zunächst durch Toni Childs, nach nur einem Monat räumte Childs allerdings den Platz für Virginia Macolino. Die erste Single der Band, A Matter of Time, erschien 1980 auf dem bandeigenen Label Zone H Records.

1981–1985: Kurzzeitige Trennung und erste Charterfolge
1981 trennte sich die Band, nur um sich wenige Monate später mit der zurückgekehrten Nunn wiederzuvereinigen. Berlin war neben Mötley Crüe die erste von Enigma Records unter Vertrag genommene Band. Dort erschien – nachdem das Label Geffen Records einen Vertrag mit der Gruppe abgelehnt hatte – 1982 die EP Pleasure Victim, die sich innerhalb eines Monats 25.000 Mal verkaufte. Geffen Records kaufte die Rechte am Werk daraufhin auf und veröffentlichte es 1983 neu. Eine Goldene Schallplatte war die Folge. Auf diesem Werk sind die frühen Hits Sex (I'm a …) und The Metro enthalten.

1984 wurde das von Giorgio Moroder produzierte Album Love Life veröffentlicht. Das Album erreichte Platz 28 der US-amerikanischen Charts, die Single No More Words kam auf Rang 23.

1986–1987: Durchbruch
Im Sommer 1986 erreichten Berlin mit dem Oscar-prämierten, ebenfalls von Moroder produzierten Top-Gun-Love-Theme Take My Breath Away ihren größten kommerziellen Erfolg: Der Song platzierte sich in mehreren wichtigen Musikmärkten an der Spitze der Charts. Wider Erwarten erwies sich das folgende Album Count Three and Pray als deutlich weniger erfolgreich.

1988–1998: Auflösung und Soloprojekte
1988 trennte sich die Gruppe.
Bandleader Crawford und Schlagzeuger Brill formierten die Gruppe The Big F, die 1993 das Album Is herausbrachte. Crawford spielte darüber hinaus zwei Soloalben ein. Terri Nunn veröffentlichte 1991 das Soloalbum Moment of Truth.

Seit 1999: Diverse Comebackversuche
1999 stellte Terri Nunn ein neues Line-up zusammen, mit dem sie seitdem neben zwei Studioalben mehrere Liveplatten veröffentlichte. Am ersten der Studioalben, Voyeur, war Billy Corgan bei dem Lied Sacred and Profane am Songwriting beteiligt.

Zu einer Reunion kam es 2004, als der Sender VH1 die Mitglieder aus den 1980er Jahren im Rahmen der Sendereihe Bands Reunited für ein Konzert wieder zusammenbrachte. 2005 veröffentlichten Berlin auf ihrem Album 4play eine Coverversion des Prince-Songs Erotic City (1984). Im September 2013 wurde das Album Animal mit dem neuen Keyboarder Dave Schulz veröffentlicht.

Home Community National Does the Trump White House Fear Black Women?
WASHINGTON, DC — The idea that Trump and his circle might have a special fear of black women is gaining traction, perhaps because of the White House's panicked reaction to a new book by Omarosa Manigault-Newman.
• Three other former officials shared that sentiment: "One hundred percent, everyone was scared of her," said another former official.
• The notion that Trump has a particular reaction to women of color has been around for sometime. Former Republican Sophia Nelson discussed the president's disdain for black women last October in Politico. But there's renewed focus on the specific role fear might play, thanks to the controversies around Omarosa but also the increased visibility of politicians like Maxine Waters and Ilhan Omar.

Q: Firestore Security Rules - Missing or insufficient permission, but I have written them I am trying to get an specific document in a public collection, but I am getting the error "Missing or insufficient permission".
But, I think I wrote this good:
match /posts/{userId}/userPosts/{postId} {
  allow read: if isSignedIn() && request.query.limit <= 10;
  allow write, update, delete: if false;

  match /likes/{document=**} {
    allow read: if isSignedIn();
    allow write: if false;
  }

  match /comments/{document=**} {
    allow read: if isSignedIn();
    allow write: if false;
  }
}

With this code, the security rules works fine:
  const query = firestore
    .collection("posts")
    .doc(userId)
    .collection("userPosts")
    .orderBy("date", "desc")
    .startAfter(startAfter);

  const querySnapshot = await query.limit(limit).get();

But... with this one, I am getting the error:
  const myPostRef = firestore
    .collection("posts")
    .doc(userId)
    .collection("userPosts")
    .doc(postId);

  const myPostDoc = await myPostRef.get();

Why I can't get a specific doc?

A: Maybe try to break your allow read rule into specific rules for queries and single documents:
allow list: if isSignedIn() && request.query.limit <= 10;
allow get: if isSignedIn();
