BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) — A Cape Cod man has been convicted of murder for fatally stabbing another man outside a Hyannis house party in 2016.
Kelly Ridley was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday after a seven-day trial and about four hours of jury deliberations. The 20-year-old Hyannis man received a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Ridley was 18 when he was charged with stabbing 26-year-old Thomas Russell in Barnstable in October 2016. Emergency responders found him in the middle of the street with stab wounds to the abdomen and lower body.
Prosecutors say Ridley punched Russell at the party, and later, when they were outside, struck him with a scooter before pulling a knife and stabbing him four or five times.
Ridley's attorney had said the stabbing was self-defense.

As línguas semíticas do noroeste (também ditas levânticas ou levantinas) formam uma divisão de nível médio da família linguística semítica. As línguas deste grupo são faladas por aproximadamente oito milhões de pessoas hoje em dia. O grupo geralmente é dividido em três ramos: o ugarítico (extinto), o cananeu (que inclui o hebraico e o aramaico). Semitistas frequentemente agrupam as línguas semíticas do noroeste com o árabe, formando assim o grupo semítico central, o que indica a relação particular do árabe com as línguas deste grupo.

O ugarítico, já extinto, foi o primeiro exemplo do semítico noroeste. Em termos fonológicos, o ugarítico perdeu o som  (), e o substituiu pelo  () (a mesma mudança ocorreu no acádio). Este mesmo som se tornou o  no aramaico (embora no antigo aramaico ele fosse escrito com o qoph), o que sugere que o ugarítico não seria um dos idiomas maternos do grupo. Um exemplo desta mudança sonora pode ser visto na palavra que significa "terra": em ugarítico  (), em hebraico  () e em aramaico  ().

Eram falados originalmente por toda a área dos atuais Israel, Síria, Jordânia, Líbano e o Sinai. A mudança vocálica ocorrida nas línguas cananeias, de  a ]], diferencia estes idiomas do ugarítico. Também no grupo cananeu as interdentais fricativas semíticas se tornam sibilantes:  (),  () e  () se tornam ,  (š) e  () respectivamente. O efeito desta mudança vocálica pode ser visto na comparação das seguintes palavras:

Former Implats head David Brown to lead Zimbabwe-Russia platinum joint venture – MiningReport
Former Implats head David Brown to lead Zimbabwe-Russia platinum joint venture
Appointments Platinum Russia Zimbabwe
Pallinghurst co-founder Gilbertson retires
SRK appoints new CEO
Altura Mining (ASX:AJM) taps new CEO
Great Dyke Investments is seeking US$500m from Afreximbank to fund the project
Russia-Zimbabwe joint venture Great Dyke Investments (GDI) says it is in talks with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) as well as Russian and South African investors to raise US$500m for its platinum project in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is the world's third-largest producer of platinum after SA and Russia.
The company says it is wrapping up financing for the project and expects to begin mine construction in 2020.
In 2017, a feasibility study by SA's DRA Group showed "robust economics for phase one of the project, which was later complemented with a basic economic assessment confirming the economic potential of the full-scale three-phased project".
Newly appointed GDI executive chair David Brown said, "There remains a lot of hard work to be done before we can commence development on the ground, but I am confident that the Darwendale project has the potential to become a significant low-cost platinum group metal producer, ultimately becoming a major part of the global PGM industry in the mid-term."
Great Dyke Investments announced the appointment of Brown, a former CEO of Implats, on Wednesday.
Brown also served as Implats CFO from 1999 to 2006. He resigned from Implats in 2012 to pursue personal interests.
"Brown has a rich experience in platinum as he was instrumental in the development of Implats' Zimbabwe's asset, Zimplats, which is the country's largest platinum miner," GDI said.
In a statement Great Dyke vice-chair Igor Higer said the company plans to secure funding by March 2020.
"Peak funding for the Darwendale phase project is estimated at more than US$500m. The main financial partner of the project is the Afreximbank, which has been acting as the mandated lead arranger since early 2018.
"According to the agreement, Afreximbank's mandate covers both debt for the project financing and equity raising portion in the amount sufficient for the successful implementation of phase one of the project."
Higer said at a production rate of 3,5-million tons a year, GDI will produce an average of 280,000oz of PGM and gold at phase one, while the second phase will increase capacity to 10.5-million tons a year and PGM production of 860,000oz a year.
Zimbabwe is banking on ramping up platinum production as PGMs are earmarked to rake in US$3bn by 2023, in line with the country's target of US$12bn annually from minerals.
Two other new platinum mines, Karo Mining Holdings, which is part-owned by SA's Tharisa, and Bravura, owned by Nigerian billionaire Benedict Peters, have concessions to mine platinum in the country.

This Is What Karen Gillan Can't Physically Do After Playing Nebula
Disney/Marvel/YouTube
By Cameron Roy Hall/April 14, 2022 11:56 am EST
Karen Gillan's been busy since her days on the set of "Doctor Who," where she portrayed fan-favorite Amy Pond, one of the titular Doctor's most prominent companions. More prominent still has been her time in the massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she's played the cybernetic, blue, bald daughter of Thanos (Josh Brolin), Nebula. Gillan's first appearance as the Mad Titan's second heir was in the 2014 surprise hit "Guardians Of The Galaxy."
She once again earned the title of fan favorite, which Gillan has attributed to the audience's ability to connect with Nebula's underlying humanity (via The Los Angeles Times). She has appeared not only in the second volume of James Gunn's sci-fi comedy but also in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame." With at least two more confirmed cinematic outings in "Thor: Love And Thunder," and "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3," it looks as if Gillan is here to stay.
But portraying an alien superhero/villain (she tends to fluctuate) is difficult, especially if said alien is built with practical effects and makeup instead of CGI. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gillan admitted to the process causing some unexpected side effects. Here's what she can no longer do, thanks to being Nebula.
Karen Gillan can't stand contacts anymore
Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images
The transformation from actress to mercenary required hours of patiently sitting still for Karen Gillan, who would find herself trapped for upwards of five hours at a time while the makeup team applied her prosthetic features that literally covered the entirety of her head. For her first appearance as Nebula she even shaved her head to prove her dedication to the role, so it's not as if she wasn't eager to dive in. But what she wasn't prepared for were the contacts.
In her recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter for the sci-fi action film "Dual," she was asked how she felt about wearing color-changing contacts after undergoing the massive transformations that playing Nebula required. Gillan replied, "It's funny you say that. I had to wear such huge contacts in the first 'Guardians' that I cannot wear contacts anymore. I'm completely fazed by them. ... The sclera lenses, I think they're called. So I don't think I can do contacts anymore after that experience."
She then admitted that any color alteration in "Dual" was thanks to CGI, which, considering sclera contacts cover your entire eye and the ones Gillan wore for Nebula were 22-millimeter black, we can't blame her (via Business Insider). Hollywood is littered with stories about contact trauma, notable among which is how Jim Carrey nearly quit "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" because the costume was torturous and his yellow contacts felt like "knives in his eyes."

The National Hunt season is still warming up. There are some very big races and meetings just around the corner but there's still more than enough to get excited about this weekend including the Bader Ales Trophy. Arguably the most prestigious handicap over fences at this time of year, the Badger Ales Trophy is run over 3 miles and 1 furlong.
There are 21 fences to be navigated on the way round. As ever, a quality field is set to compete at Wincanton and the bookies' odds suggest this should be a tight contest.
El Bandit and Present Man, are the two battling it out for favouritism at the head of the market.
El Bandit (5/1 with bet365) is a seven-year-old who still has plenty of promise to fulfil. Trained by Paul Nicholls, El Bandit has secured some very good results in his career but has not been seen since May 2017. Hopes are high among connections that he's been well treated by the handicapper and that he will therefore return with a bang but he looks a little short after such a long term out.
Present Man (6/1 with RaceBets) is also trained by Paul Nicholls. While his stablemate was at home recovering, Present Man picked up some decent prizes last season including landing the 2017 Badgers Ales Trophy. He clearly has the class but his win last year came on soft ground and the last 10 renewals have only produced two winning favourites.
The main two in the betting will continue to get a lot of support but the best value could well be offered by Bigbadjohn at 8/1 with Coral. Nigel Twiston-Davies has already given his nine-year-old two runs this season and after blowing away the cobwebs at Chepstow he blew away the competition by winning at Wincanton at the end of October.
This is a step back up in class but connections are very happy that the going is set to remain on the firm side of good which should suit Bigbadjohn perfectly. Although he's hardly the most consistent type, winning at the same course on pretty much the same ground as the Badger Ales Trophy should do his confidence the world of good and suggests that he is well priced at 8/1.
Sumkindofking began the new season by winning over 2m4f at Ludlow but rather than keeping him over the shorter trips, the decision was made to try him out over 3m2½f at Wincanton. The market believed that he had a chance as he went off at 2/1. The novice showed why some believe he has big wins in the future by jumping well whilst he managed well with the trip despite slipping.
Providing he has no such issues with 3m1f and jumps well again on Saturday, Sumkindofking should be a major player in the Badger Ales Trophy so warrants an each way bet at 14/1 with bet365.


Your website has to work well. Forget job seekers. For the sake of your own sanity: your website has to work well. This means that all of your links have to work, your site directory has to be useful, and any embedded images or videos need to display correctly. Beyond that, your website needs to be intuitively designed. Your online recruiting strategy shouldn't leave job seekers struggling to find your company employment information. Here are some more specific website tips for making your company website easier to use.
A pleasing web design goes hand-in-hand with ease of use. However, it is separately important for this simple reason: an unattractive website is bad for your online recruiting strategy. Job seekers are accustomed to well-designed websites on the rest of the internet; they will expect the same from your company website. An unattractive website looks unprofessional, and implies that your company is behind the times.
Being actually behind the times can be even more troublesome for your online recruiting strategy. Outdated job seeker information is obviously bad. Your online recruiting strategy won't do you much good if you don't keep up-to-date job opportunities posted on your company website. However, it's also important to keep the other areas of your website updated. Old dates on company blog posts, outdated news stories, and inaccurate industry information all show job seekers that your company lacks a strong digital presence.

Facebook continues to play around with the news feed, leaving businesses confused as to whether they will be able to continue to use the platform. If the new changes come into play, users' news feed will only include the posts from their friends and any paid advertising from pages. That means users, even the biggest fans, will no longer see organic posts from the pages that they follow and love, even if they interact with all the posts from the said business page.
All the organic posts from small to medium-sized businesses will move over to a new feed called the Explore Feed. The only way to appear on the main feed is to pay, there's no getting around it. The changes are being tested in a few countries including Bolivia, Cambodia and Sri Lanka, and so far the results are proving to be rather depressing for small business owners. They are experiencing a large drop in engagement and reach, both factors that are beneficial for those marketing on social media.
A simple way of remaining in front of your audience is by paying to promote your content. That doesn't mean you need to pay for each post you publish, just the very best content. However, it is worth remembering that having a presence on Facebook is worthwhile, even if you can't pay to advertise on the platform. Consumers often use Facebook as a way of establishing the sincerity of an organisation. They use it to check that the company is still active, if there are any visible complaints and how the organisation responds to complaints, reviews, promotions and to get a feel for the company. With so many businesses it's important for consumers to do their research to protect themselves from potential risk.
Loyal fans will still want to remain updated and will often take a moment to check in with their favourite pages. You can also encourage activity using in-house advertising, email marketing, on product pages and so on. This is why it's vital that you include easy to follow links on all of your online channels.
It is worrying time for small businesses, but all is not lost and it's definitely not wise to leave the platform entirely. Let us help you create a digital marketing strategy that suits your budget and aspirations. Call us or send us an email to discuss the various options available.

Tonry Insurance Group, Inc. traces its roots back to 1926 when Albert J. Tonry, who had been a workmens' compensation insurance salesman for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company started the business. Mr. Tonry was also an M.I.T. educated engineer, and found that writing insurance for contractors was a congenial focus for his expertise. He focused on serving contractor customers and, to this day, the Agency is a significant player in bonding and insuring contractors in New England.
In 1947, Albert's son, Herbert Tonry, a graduate of Bowdoin College and Harvard School of Business, joined the firm to be followed in 1949 by another son, Louis, also a graduate of Bowdoin. Both sons were Naval officers and joined the firm after completing their service in World War II. About this time, the agency began to write surety bonds rounding out the service they offered to contractors.
In 1956, the three Tonrys incorporated the business as Albert J. Tonry & Co., Inc. with Albert J. Tonry as President, Herbert Tonry as Treasurer and Louis A. Tonry as Vice-President. Shortly thereafter, Albert retired and Louis assumed the position of President. In 1964, the agency moved from Post Office Square to the newly constructed Prudential Center as one of the original tenants.
Carl L. Traina, a Tufts University educated Civil Engineer, joined the firm in 1975 and introduced a program of diversification, computerization and expansion that has made the firm a respected and significant part of the insurance community. The two Tonry brothers retired in 1982 with Mr. Traina assuming the Role of President and Treasurer. Louis A. Tonry Jr. joined the firm in 1986 after several years of involvement in the agency. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College and has a Masters degree in Business from Babson College. The agency was relocated to Crown Colony in 1989 to allow easier access for clients and employees.
In 2000, we formed Tonry Insurance Agency, Inc. and expanded our Small Business Department and the number of service locations through the acquisition of the Northwest Insurance Agency, Inc. of Lexington, Massachusetts and Nashua, New Hampshire and did business as Northwest Insurance Agency. We subsequently sold the Nashua office and doubled the size of the Lexington office within five years. In 2007, we changed the name of the agency to Tonry Northwest Insurance Agency, Inc. and opened an office in Webster, Massachusetts.
Thus in its fourth generation, the agency has ambitious plans for growth and service to its customers. We strive to be the best at what we do.

Jacquelynne Maloney at the Tonry agency has helped us immeasurably navigating the bonding process. She took the time to get to know us and develop a complete picture of our company, our goals and objectives, our capabilities, our needs and the history of our company. Her knowledge of the market allowed her early on to recognize what program would work for our company. Other bonding agencies simply asked for a copy of our financial statement, balance sheet and work on hand. They appeared to have no interested in whether we were making cupcakes or nuclear missiles. Jacquelynne took the time to get to know us personally. To her we were more than just our financial statement.

Haverford's Roache & O'Brien Continues to Serve Beers and Laughs
Michael Bradley October 3, 2017
Wander into Roache & O'Brien on a late Friday afternoon. Use the back door, like most of the regulars do. It was the original main entrance in December 1933, when the country finally shook free of Prohibition's clutches. Back then, beer was five cents a glass, and a shot of liquor cost a dime.
You'll likely hear him before you see him. Thomas Francis "Franny" O'Brien, owner of the Main Line's most unique tavern, will be sitting at the bar, a Canadian-Club-and-water nearby, regaling all with an unending string of unprintable jokes, hilarious stories, the news of the day, and a dash of hatred for Villanova that he earned honestly by graduating from St. Joe's. He often says the worst day of his life was April 1, 1985, when the Wildcats won the NCAA championship. "His personality tends to make you feel like you belong in the place," says Hank Nichols, a patron of "at least 30 years" who spent 36 years teaching at Nova and more than 40 involved in NCAA basketball officiating.
Nichols is right. You do belong at Roache's, no matter what you do. Lawyers sit beside landscapers, who bump shoulders with college kids. They talk sports, movies, politics and nonsense, with rarely a whiff of trouble. "The people police themselves," O'Brien says.
It's a genuine neighborhood bar, the kind you'd find on a corner in Bridgeport or Ridley Township, yet it sits right in the middle of Haverford, with a Lexus dealership next door and a jeweler across the street advertising Rolex watches. You can smoke there. The burgers are the best anywhere. If you want to turn up the music and sing, go ahead. Couples settle into booths in the wood-paneled Oak Room, while others follow whatever game is on. "I'm just trying to keep it comfortable," O'Brien says. "I don't want to see people once a month or every two weeks. I want to see people four or five times a week. The customers are loyal to me, and I'm loyal to them."
A brief history lesson: John J. O'Brien and Tom Roache, who married O'Brien's cousin Catherine, opened one of the few Main Line-area bars in the wake of Prohibition. It had one keg of beer and two bottles of liquor. The two men ended up owning a few other bars, including the Paddock in Wayne and the Trappe Tavern. They also held the liquor license at the Main Line Golf Course.
Franny was born in 1948, two years after the bar had been remodeled to its current state. There have been subsequent improvements, but the look is frozen in its post-World War II grandeur. Franny started working there when he was in eighth grade, cleaning up on Sundays. He graduated from St. Joseph's Prep in '65 and, after a stint in the Army National Guard, earned a degree in business administration from Saint Joseph's University in 1970.
When John O'Brien began to succumb to lung cancer in late 1971, Franny O'Brien abandoned his job as a Dow Chemical salesman to run the bar. "I figured I would take it over for a couple years and then sell it," he says. "I'm still here."
It's provided a good living, one that put three children—John, Cassie and Pat—through college and paid for Cassie's wedding, even if O'Brien did find the prospect of spending $4,000 for flowers obscene.
Open 7 a.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday, the bar sees shift workers and night nurses coming in for breakfast sandwiches—and maybe an eye-opener during the early hours. After that, there's a steady flow of folks. No matter who comes in, the constant is O'Brien. "I am something of an entertainer," he says with a smile. "I have raunchy jokes that some people seem to appreciate."
But O'Brien is more than just a raconteur and colorful local character. Those who work for him describe a generous, caring man behind the banter. Tim McCloud, a Haverford School graduate and guidance counselor at Pennfield Middle School in Hatfield, has bartended at Roache & O'Brien since 1996. At one point, he was working six nights a week, but he now mans his station primarily on Friday nights. He enjoys the late-Friday-afternoon "O'Brien Revue" and admits that the night "dies down a little bit" when his boss finally heads home to his astoundingly patient wife of 33 years, Sally.
But that's not what's kept McCloud there for over two decades. He refers to O'Brien as a father figure and says his boss will do anything for his employees—but he will also "be the first one to kick you in the ass when you mess up, and never let you forget it." "One thing [the people who work at Roache's] talk about is that most waiters and bartenders are out for themselves," McCloud says. "We're all for Franny first. We want to make money, but we love him so much that how he does is more important than lining our own pockets."
Bartending at Roache & O'Brien includes time in the kitchen, from which the beloved Roacheburger emanates. The secret? Hand-pounded beef with "the perfect fat-to-meat ratio," cooked on a surface that's at least 50 years old and has been cured with residue from eggs, bacon, ham, hot dogs, cheesesteaks and other pub fare. "You can't duplicate that," O'Brien says.
O'Brien enjoys his work at Roache's, but it's not without headaches. He's on the job six days a week, doesn't take sick days, and has battled through knee injuries and other musculoskeletal issues caused by hauling cases of beer and kegs from the basement. He's also survived kitchen mishaps. Once, he spilled a pan of boiling fryer oil on his leg, taking off the skin to the muscle. Rather than seek medical assistance, he wrapped the limb in a towel and moved forward. "I've never seen anything so disgusting," McCloud says.
O'Brien's biggest nuisance is policing the underage folks who try to gain admittance. Thanks to fake IDs purchased from forgers in China, college kids have cards that can flummox even the most seasoned eye. "The day they come out with a machine that can figure out the cards are fake, the kids have a card that can beat it," O'Brien says.
Despite the occasional frustrations, O'Brien loves what he does, and at 69 years old, he figures he has at least 10 years left. It's not like he has a bunch of hobbies he wants to pursue in retirement. "I play golf two or three times for a few months," he says. "Other than that, I like to drink and gamble."
So if you want to behold the consummate host in his natural habitat, leave your thin skin at home and head over to Roache & O'Brien on a Friday afternoon. Franny never disappoints.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi Jointly Conduct Steel Cutting of 1st Milgem Class Corvette in Turkey, being constructed for Pakistan
Press Release Pakistan Navy
Islamabad, 30 Sep 19:
Steel Cutting Ceremony of 1stship of MILGEM Class Corvettes being constructed for Pakistan Navy, was held at Istanbul Naval Shipyard, Turkey. Turkish President RecepTayyipErdogan and Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral ZafarMahmoodAbbasi jointly cut the metal plate of the 1st MILGEM Class Corvette.
Vice President of Turkey Fuat Oktay, Minister for National Defense of Turkey Hulusi Akar, Chief of Turkish General Staff General Yaşar Guler, Commander of Turkish Naval Forces Admiral Adnan Ozbal, Ambassador of Pakistan to Turkey Muhammad Sajjad Qazi, and other dignitaries attended the ceremony which also included the induction of newly built TCG Kinaliada, the 4th MILGEM Class Corvette, into Turkish Navy Fleet.
While addressing the audience, Turkish President Erdogan termed the brotherly Pakistan-Turkey relations as exemplary and said that great potential exists for collaboration between the two countries in the field of defense production. While highlighting the situation in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, President Erdogan said the world needs to know about the sufferings of the Kashmiri people. Equating Kashmir with Palestine, President Erdogan further said that over 8 million Kashmiris are living in an open-air prison in their own lands facing brutalities of the occupation forces with great courage.
Earlier, Admiral Zafar MahmoodAbbasi in his opening speech termed this project as another testimony of the Pakistan-Turkey brotherhood. While updating the audience about the situation in the Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, he mentioned the toxic Hindutva ideology of India and the threat it poses to regional and international peace. He said that Indian brutalities have reached to new levels after the 5th August 19 illegal actions of the Indian government which are in contravention to the UN Security Council resolutions. Admiral Abbasi thanked President Erdogan for raising Kashmir issue in his address at the United National General Assembly in New York saying the people of Pakistan and Kashmir are indebted to Turkey for its steadfast support.
Chief of the Naval Staff also acknowledged the commitment and dedication of ASFAT's (Askeri Fabrikave Tersaneİşletme – Military Factory and Shipyard Management) team and expressed gratitude to the Turkish Ministry of National Defense and Turkish Navy for the support extended by them in this important program.
Today's ceremony ushered in a new chapter in defense friendship between Pakistan and Turkey and is a major milestone towards induction of state-of-the-art Corvettes in Pakistan Navy. Once constructed, the MILGEM Class Corvettes will be one of the most technologically advanced surface platforms of Pakistan Navy Fleet, fitted with latest weapons, sensors, and command and control systems. These ships will significantly contribute in enhancing Pakistan Navy's capability in maintaining peace and security in our area of responsibility (AOR). Contract for construction of four MILGEM Class Corvettes has been signed with Turkey. Two of the four Corvettes will be built in Turkey while the other two will be built in Pakistan under the transfer of technology programme. Director General Public Relations (Navy)

ALL SPECIAL REPORTS
By Elizabeth Martin Solsburg | December 2015
What is it like today in the land where Christ was born?
Father Bill Turner shares his Holy Land experience
You have a passion for the Holy Land. Can you tell us about your involvement in Bethlehem?
First of all, I see the Holy Land as our mother Church – it is where the Church began. I always felt there was some deeper personal connection as well, but I didn't know what it was until I had my DNA checked and discovered that I am 15 percent Arabic! As a Canon of the Holy Sepulchre, I belong to the Jerusalem Church as well as the Diocese of Lansing. Bethlehem is part of that Church.
What is it like for the Christian population in Bethlehem right now?
They are under occupation by the Israelis, and are cut off from the rest of Palestine by walls that have been erected. They cannot come into Jerusalem without special permits; essentially, they are confined to a small, hot, arid territory – where they are hemmed in on all sides.
They live in the Bethlehem area, which comprises three major pilgrimage towns: Beit Jala, Bethlehem and Bet Zahour. (Shepherd's Field). Christians also occupy many small towns in the West Bank areas and in Israel itself.
The Christian population, including Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, is now less than 2 percent of the total population. We pray constantly that the Christians there will be true instruments of God's peace, acting as a bridge between the Muslims, whose culture and language they share, and the Israelis whose Scriptural heritage they embrace.
The difficulties there are exacerbated by arid temperature and the Israeli occupation. The Israelis are afraid of attack, and they are attacked because of the occupation. So, everyone who is not an Israeli may be considered a potential terrorist. This makes for a climate of extreme tension.
What about the rest of the Holy Land?
Two-thirds of the people in the Holy Land are being denied access to sites that are holy to all three faiths. They are denied access to major territories like Jerusalem, and Israeli settlements in the hills mark where they've been driven from their land. As soon as land is seized, then the walls go up immediately to prevent occupiers from being attacked.
Jericho is part of the Palestinian territory and it is also enclosed. Some Palestinians live in Israeli-controlled territory, such as Nazareth. There is a vicariate in Israel for Israeli Catholics, and there are parishes by Tel Aviv and nearby. These Christians, who have Israeli passports, live with more freedom than those who are behind the walls.
What has been the effect?
Because those behind walls have no real rights to the land, they are in a state of perpetual tension.
That's why so many Christians have left Palestine and moved to the U.S. and other countries. Knights of the Holy Sepulchre support the patriarchate, by giving Palestinian Christians assets and assistance, encouraging them to stay in the Holy Land. Attention for the Christians there is necessary as there is little assistance from the Palestinian authorities, whose seem to focus support the Muslim population, even though Christian Palestinians face the same hardship as their Muslim brothers and sisters.
I try to be a presence and connection for them, and I work to support the people of Michigan who are part of the diaspora. The day I arrive in Bethlehem, it is not long before the report goes out that there has been an "Abouna William sighting!" There are hundreds of thousands of people who have left the Holy Land and are here in Michigan. They are without an Arabic-speaking Catholic priest. A great part of my work for the patriarch has been as a contact for so many families, even those who have joined Catholic parishes and Orthodox parishes within the Archdiocese of Detroit. Archbishop Vigneron has been especially supportive and when the patriarch was last in Michigan, in addition to visiting our parish in Chelsea, he and I visited the archbishop who expressed his support in providing a location for an Arabic priest and eventually a parish.
What are some of the ways you support the Christians in the Holy Land?
Every year, I go to the Holy Land. Sometimes I take a group of pilgrims. The most important element is meeting the people. Once you meet these Christians you can see their suffering and understand their needs. It's not simply about donating money, it's about supporting people and programs. It is also so important to keep in touch with people, to have a connection. In 2011, the parish in Chelsea participated in the "Children's Peace Project," which invited high school students to visit and see the America that cares about them. In their mind, America had only supported Israel, who was their occupier, so this visit was a way of building a bridge of peace.
I return every year to keep in touch, to support their parishes and their schools, to assist the priests there and to encourage twinning of parishes between America and the Holy Land. There are organizations like the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation in Washington (HCEF.org) that have such support programs – I serve on their board of directors. HCEF just opened a museum in Bethlehem to exhibit the customs and history of this people. This not only provides another site for pilgrims, but gives encouragement to local people who see their traditions and customs preserved.
HCEF also repairs homes and give people jobs. It brings young people of the diaspora back to the Holy Land so they can experience their roots and heritage.
What can people do?
Please pray for the people of the Holy Land– all of them. The Jewish people, who were first called to God; the Muslims of good will who want to live in peace, and those who feel so oppressed they react in violence; and for the Christians. God can do something about their situation as we pray.
I hope that people will make a pilgrimage to visit Christians in the Holy Land, not only to visit the sites. These Christians need to come into contact with us and know we care about them. They need to know that they are not alone. Seeing the sites is important as well, because they are touchstones of our faith, but the Christians here are the descendants of those who knew Jesus, our living connection with him.
We can be involved in the HCEF or the work of the Knights. Love and support can overcome injustice; and peace will come. Ask questions when organizations who support the Holy Land come into your parish – Where does your family live? What is life like? When you meet the Christian Palestinians, keep in touch with them, even if it is by Email or Facebook.
The situation is very serious; the time could be coming when there are no Christians left in the Holy Land. The churches would become museums or mosques. This is a powerful moment that our Christian brothers and sisters are called to be the bridge for peace for the Muslim and Israeli population. We can pledge to help them with our prayers and our support.
What is a canon?
A canon is an honor given to certain priests in connection with a specific cathedral. There is a dress and ceremonial aspect, including a special cassock trimmed in purple and a white mozetta adorned with a red Jerusalem cross. The Very Reverend Canons of the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre are a large number of clergy throughout the world that have the Holy Land constantly in their hearts and minds. I was privileged to be named a canon 10 years ago through the recommendation of the late Cardinal Francis George and the approval of Bishop Carl Mengeling. Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre are lay persons who also have been honored by the pope. Their charism is to work for the preservation of the Christian community in the Holy Land and they do that in conjunction with the patriarch of Jerusalem, who is the archbishop, the successor to the bishopric of St. James. The current patriarch is Archbishop Fouad Twal, and he is responsible for the Christian population in the Holy Land and Cyprus.

New technology and skill development are among key issues to enhance export capacity for Greater Victoria export businesses, a new study suggests.
Results from Greater Victoria Development Agency's export study, Developing Greater Victoria's Export Capacity also said key to enhancing export capacity include financing and production capacity.
The study resulted from four months of research that engaged 150 local companies on how the region can grow small companies into job creators.
The research was launched as part of an effort to reinvigorate the Greater Victoria's economy.
"Our economy is not keeping pace with other cities in the rest of Canada. We have a tremendous opportunity to expand by helping more companies go international," said Dallas Gislason, economic development officer with GVDA.
The next step for the GVDA is to coordinate responses to the study's recommendations beginning as early as February, when it will launch an export development workshop series focused on building small firms' capacity to grow internationally.

Revolutionary Britannia?: Reflections on the Threat of Revolution in Britain, 1789-1848
Edward Royle (Author)
Europe was swept by revolution in the period from 1789 to 1848. Britain, alone of the major western powers, seemed exempt from this revolutionary fervour. The governing class attributed this exemption to divine providence and the soundness of the British Constitution. This view has been upheld by historians for over a century. This book provides students with an alternative view of the potential for revolution and the resources of conservatism in early industrial Britain which challenges many of the common assumptions. Incorporates quotations from primary sources to give the reader a critical sense of why revolution was taken seriously by people at the time. Shows how the revolutionaries were defeated by the government's propaganda against revolutionary sentiments and the strength of popular conservatism. -- .

Well we certainly could not have asked for better weather for our second Drive Round Day of the season up at Wellington today. For the first time in a long time we had more than one Jeep! A really good mix of vehicles attended: Kevin Williams in his Jeep Renegade, Mike Cuff in a well prepared Jeep Cherokee; Tony Dunstone and family with his TDI 90; Richard Watson in a TGV auto 90 and finally Russell Lemon in his trusty series.
The aim was to start off the day up on the island before moving across to the moor. As it turned out in fact we spent the whole day up on the island. The ground was so dry that we could attempt climbs that we had never been attempted before and with great driving skills demonstrated by most of the people present we had a fair degree of success as well! The ground conditions certainly helped us get to places we would not contemplate later in the year.
As there has been a fair amount of tree work up on the Island this also gave us the opportunity to try out some new routes. Not only did it made it testing and interesting it also added some new dimensions to the day and upped the heart rate of more than one or two drives – there are some big drops if the side slopes don't go to plan!
Russell's series was not quite as a reliable as it has been in the past. Russell had had a slight ticking from the front around lunchtime and this migrated into a full-on loss of drive to the front wheels; possibly a freewheel hub had failed? Thankfully Richard Watson was on hand with his trusty husky rear winch to help extract Russell and then tow them back to the rendezvous. Thankfully the complete failure only occurred in the last half an hour or so.
We also had another first for a Wellington Drive Round Day on the Island and a Jeep. Kevin Williams who had been leading the convoy, and this first is possibly because he couldn't quite see the track due to the overgrown bracken, slightly misjudged the entrance to a small hole and we ended up perched right in the middle of it. Thankfully Edward Webber was on hand with a quick bit of winch work (and it should be noted he did work hard all day today) and we were soon up and through. Much to our dismay everyone else then pretty much drove the same section slightly disappointing for us, great for them but it does prove that jeeps do get stuck!

Standing ovations are rare at the "Politics and Eggs" breakfasts—two longtime attendees told me they'd never seen one, while a spokesperson for the New Hampshire Institute of Politics called them "unusual, though not unprecedented." But AZ Senator Jeff Flake got one Friday morning, and he did it by trashing Donald Trump.
The event, hosted by the NH IOP and the New England Council, is a "must-stop" on the presidential campaign trail. The audience is bipartisan and business oriented, with some political academics thrown in for good measure. And while they sat quietly throughout the speech, at the end they rewarded Flake's anti-Trump's rhetoric with a rousing cheer.
Sen. Flake has a soft voice and "ah, shucks" demeanor, but his attacks on Trump were head on and hard to miss.
Flake doesn't like it. He demeans Republican voters who made it possible as "nativist," emotional, and angry. What Flake didn't do is explain how we got here.
Flake is right that the government values of the current GOP are far from those espoused for years by politicians like him. In 2016 there were at least 10 other candidates singing from Flake's hymnal. And what happened?
They all lost. And they lost to a political amateur— a reality-TV star from New York City. Even now, Trump has the support of 74 percent of NH Republicans, according to a February poll from the NHIOP. The crowd of business leaders and academics can cheer Flake's feelings about the current state of the GOP, but they still represent a smaller slice of the electorate than he does—even in New Hampshire.
Flake made no bones about the fact that he and his allies have lost the battle for the GOP, but he didn't even make an attempt to explain why.
Perhaps it's because conservatives like Flake spent years dismissing voters concerned about issues like illegal immigration, or the impacts of free trade on specific industries and regions. Perhaps it's because Flake and friends spent too much time in rooms full of business leaders and Chamber of Commerce types and missed the message typical voters were trying to send.
Flake repeatedly went out of his way to talk up his support for amnesty. He bragged about his relationships with liberal Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer. Other than a passing reference to Mike Pence (who he served with in the House of Representatives), the only living Republican he praised was fellow amnesty advocate John McCain.
It wasn't that long ago that Donald Trump was on the campaign trail insulting McCain over his war record—a classless act that would have ended most political careers. Instead, Trump went on to win the GOP nomination and the White House. Insulting McCain and disappointing Flake just don't matter to the Republican electorate at the moment. More bemoaning of the "nativist" populism of the GOP base isn't going to change that.
Several times during his speech Flake's description of the GOP electorate echoed Hillary Clinton's recent comments about Trump's "backward" campaign and the racist, sexist values of his voters. When I asked Sen. Flake if he agreed with Hillary's assessment of Trump's America, he evaded the question by claiming he hadn't heard what she said.
The standing ovation from the New Hampshire establishment Friday says a lot about the ongoing civil war in the GOP. But it doesn't change Jeff Flake's prospects as a potential GOP challenger to Donald Trump.
Flake calls himself a "long shot." He's being too optimistic.

Home/entertainment/"No", a major reflection on the world of entertainment
"No", a major reflection on the world of entertainment
Maggie Benson 2 weeks ago
Listen to the audio version of the article
Jordan Peele continues to surprise and make us think: Now in his third feature film, with No, the American director continues on the excellent path of his two previous works, Escape – Get Out and Noe.
At the center of the story are a brother and sister, OJ and Emerald, who run the family farm with their father, Otis.
When the parent dies, from being inexplicably struck by a nickel that fell from the sky, the two inherit the property: while trying to keep the family company, they begin to sense a mysterious presence that seems to come directly from the sky above their home. Emerald believes something paranormal is involved and convinces OJ to install cameras on the farm in hopes of finding out what's going on around them.
Among the most anticipated titles of this year, "La" not only disappoints expectations, but also manages to exceed expectations with an interesting and entertaining story, accompanied by an editing capable of giving a perfect rhythm throughout the duration (approx. 135 minutes) and a series of sequels that were not spared from fierce criticism. For the "image society" we live in.
"No" and other films of the week
Photo Gallery4 photos
A very intelligent and objective film
Compared to the two previous films he's already mentioned, Bell doesn't think much about racial issues (although there are ideas to that effect as well) but gives room for very important social reflection. No is a very intelligent and very objective film in the world of show business: it is a film on the eyes of all of us as contemporary viewers, more hungry for images to photograph, record and archive in our digital spaces. Although it is a subject that has been dealt with a lot by cinema in recent years, Peele manages to give new life to the subject through a series of original and personal narrative and stylistic choices. However, "No" is also a film "about cinema", as evidenced by the fact that the main characters are the descendants of the jockey whom Edward Muybridge's cameras filmed at the sprint race in 1878 in one of the first experiments with "moving pictures" in history and at one of the key stages To come close to the invention of the seventh art.
The third piece of evidence can only be provable: Peele is for all intents and purposes an author and one of the most important names in American cinema today.
Another disturbing and highly anticipated movie recently appeared on Amazon Prime Video: "Possessor" by Brandon Cronenberg, son of the famous David. The protagonist is Tacia Voss, an agent employed by a corporation that possesses technology capable of controlling psychomotor and psychomotor skills. from other individuals. The goal is to turn unsuspecting victims into unscrupulous killers, on behalf of ultra-wealthy clients. After debuting with "Antiviral" in 2012, Brandon Cronenberg continues to tell stories that can also be associated with heavy parent cinema (the body theme, in this case), while still managing to have a personal touch. The visual talent is there, but in this story that promises too much at the beginning, there are too many hyperbolas and too many dim sequences to never fully reach. Satisfying conclusion: the eye-catching beginning and ending are very suggestive, but in the middle there are many moments straightforward and a little too conventional for the genre they belong to.

Impact at Singularity University
Building an abundant future together
Impact in Action
Impact Dashboard
Global Grand Challenges
Diversity, Inclusion & Equity Movement
Impact Partnerships
Over the next 30 years, we will encounter some of the greatest transitions that any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is affecting every part of our lives…every business, every industry, every society. We believe that by leveraging exponential technologies, we have the opportunity to solve humanity's biggest challenges. That's what we call impact.
At Singularity University, we are working to facilitate a future of endless possibilities that is free from global problems. We believe that by catalyzing an exponentially transformed, engaged, and activated community of inspired solvers, startups, corporations, development organizations, governments, academic institutions, and investors, we can better address systemic problems we face globally today.
SU was created to enable everyone to create exponential impact together… someone, somewhere is hoping for the positive impact you can bring to the world!
Emeline Paat-DahlstromFormer Chief Impact Officer, Singularity University
Our Impact Strategy
SU uses a methodology called the Theory of Change (ToC) to map out our strategy for impact. It helps us understand, in a very tangible way, how we make impact in the world, and directs our efforts and resources toward activities of highest impact. The ToC breaks down business goals and activities into four segments: inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact.
Inputs are everything we do: our programs and initiatives that attract people to our community, transform their lives, enable them with tools and skills, and finally scale our mission globally.
Outputs are the people we educate and transform. They are the amazing individuals from companies, startups, governments, academia, investment, and NGOs who go out into the world and improve it every day.
Outcomes are the actions these people take, in the name of bettering our future. We call these outcomes "impact initiatives" and encourage every member of our community to find a pathway that works for them.
Explore the outcomes
Impact is the measurable change those outcomes bring about in people's lives by providing basic needs, significantly improving quality of life, and mitigating existential risk in the global grand challenge categories.
Impact Initiatives
SU's direct impact is through the educational programs and content that we provide to bring about exponential and abundant mindsets. As a result, our key measure of success is through the impact initiatives the SU community creates as evidence of their transformation.
SU tracks six types of impact initiatives:
Policy creation/change
Leverage exponential technology
Have potential to impact billions of lives
Address a global grand challenge
How We Measure and Report Impact
We're constantly learning and experimenting with new ways to accurately measure and report impact in a rapidly changing world. Our online dashboard shows a live visualization of the data we collect, always available and always transparent. And our annual Impact Reports and Benefit Corporation Reports provide a handy reference to the work we're doing and our adherence to state Benefit Corporation guidelines. We keep improving the data we collect as well as the impact metrics we can report on, and hope to be a model to others trying to create measurable impact.

Our 2020 Goals
Our short-term goals that relate to our 5-year plan (and current results) are:
countries and territories participated
educated through our programs
impact initiatives reported
Fostering Impact
We are building a global community that positively impacts billions of lives. That audacious vision can't be achieved without providing support and recognition for impact everywhere we see it, and by equipping a new generation to shape the future in ways we haven't yet dreamed.
Impact Challenge for California
Our home state of California has a spirit of innovation. We embrace that spirit in an annual Impact Challenge, co-sponsored by a partner in the State of California, that frames a global challenge within a local context. The competition is open to anyone in the world and rewards highly scalable and transferable ideas that have potential for global reach.
Global Grand Challenge Awards
To demonstrate the potential for exponential technologies to solve humanity's global grand challenges and create a future of abundance, we're putting the world's most promising social impact technology companies in the SU spotlight. We teamed up with development organizations and companies like charity:water, American Red Cross, the United Nations Office of Information and Communications Technology, SAP, Genentech, and many others to identify and showcase companies with great potential for human and economic impact in all 12 GGC companies.
Activating the next generation is critical to achieving our impact goals. We're working with partners around the world to develop hands-on experiences, global challenges, and deeply integrated curriculum that teaches an exponential mindset and empowers young people to tackle the challenges that stand in the way of creating an abundant future.
Join Our Global Community
Now that you're aware of how we foster, measure, and report impact, we welcome you to join our community to find others who share your commitment to creating positive impact in the world!

Wilson Already Building With Youngsters Set For Bench
Reds Manager Danny Wilson already has his sights set on building a squad for the new season with QPR visiting Oakwell this Saturday.
Wilson revealed a number of youngsters will make the bench for the final match of the season, as he looks to the future of the Club.
"Injury-wise we aren't looking too bad," said Wilson. "I think what a lot of people will look at is the bench because we'll be introducing one or two youngsters in the squad.
It's still a great fixture. They'll (QPR) want momentum going into the play-offs.
"It'll be a tough game but a great game. I just wish there was something resting on it, points-wise.
"The nucleus of the team will be the same as the ones who have played all season."
All loan players, apart from Peter Ramage, have returned to their parent clubs, with Wilson commenting on the Crystal Palace loanee.
"He's done himself proud in his approach and professionalism," said Wilson. "He's not played that much recently. It's only fitting he plays his final game.
"You're always after quality players but he's under contract. The quality of player that he is would always be of interest.
"We have a meeting with the board of directors next week and all players will know our decisions from then."
In terms of shaping a squad, Wilson knows the turnaround of players will be significant as he sets about building a competitive squad.
"It's a massive overhaul but we knew this would happen," continued Wilson. "We knew it would be addressed at some point.
"We've basically got a clean piece of paper in front of us in some respect.
"We have to prepare ourselves that the players under contract here will be with us next season.
"It'll (retained list) be out in the middle of next week. The decisions made won't be easy. There'll be popular and unpopular ones but the bottom line is we are doing it for the football club.
"I want a team to go out there, represent me, the football club and, most importantly, the fans.
"What we've got to make sure is we retain the highest quality team that we can.
"This regrouping would have happened anyway whether we were in the Championship or League One. We'd have to regenerate players anyway. Obviously there will be cutbacks but that doesn't mean we can't be competitive.
"We've got a great chance and a great challenge in front of us.
"It's a clean sheet and we're rebuilding.
"The fans, I'm sure, will welcome a winning team on a weekly basis. They want to be excited.
"We've made lots of inroads but you never get any certainties at this stage. We have to make sure we identify the players who represent he club in the way we want it representing.
"It'll be a more rounded thing for us. The fans deserve that. They want to see players who they think 'I'd play like that.'
"I'm quite excited about the challenge on front of us to put a team together that could be successful.
QPR are the visitors as they prepare for their Play-Off campaign, with Wilson tipping Harry Redknapp's side to go all the way.
"He'll (Redknapp) know who's performed and who hasn't performed. I'm sure there are reasons why they haven't gone up. They've got an array of talent to choose from and sometimes that can be a problem in itself, not that this is the case but Harry will be able to tell you.
"They're big favourites for the play-offs."

Q: rsync /home structure but only specific subdirectories I need to copy / rsync the whole /home directory but only certain subdirectories.
Sample:
/home/100/someuser/Documents <-- copy with subdirs
/home/100/someuser/scans <--- copy with subdirs
/home/100/someuser/.bin   <--- do not copy
/home/100/someuser/trees <--- do not copy

All other files and directories within the userhomes should not be copied.
i tried something with rsync include and exlude but i have to less experience within this.
Can anybody help?

A: you can use rsync's --exclude parameter and give it relative paths, or you can add the paths of the files/folders you need to exclude into a file, and use --exclude-from=file
Example:
rsync -avz --exclude=100/someuser/.bin --exclude=100/someuser/trees /home/ root@otherhost:/backup/home/

Jake Paul Confronts His Brother Logan After "Hooking Up" With Ex-Wife Tana Mongeau
Posted on Wed Feb 19th, 2020 9:24am PDT By X17 Staff
Tana Mongeau put on a very sexy display last night at Catch by going braless in a ridiculously tight crop top. The influencer and social media star had no issues soaking up the spotlight while striking a series of poses for the crowd of photographers.
The outing comes on the heels of Mongeau's lunch date with her ex-husband's brother, Logan Paul. The duo looked awfully comfortable cuddling up to one another, and at one point, Logan was seen giving Mongeau a tender kiss on the top of her head. Mongeau claims the kiss and cuddle session was nothing serious but insists she's "super divorced".
A post shared by YOUNG LEGEND (@shotbyjuliann) on Feb 17, 2020 at 6:32pm PST
Mongeau and Jake Paul ended their controversial "marriage" after only 5 months but they still remain close friends. It's obvious Jake isn't the only family member she remains close with... but it remains to be seen if a new romance with Logan will develop. If so, it looks like we're about to have a very complicated love triangle on our hands!
Jake clearly isn't happy with the incident and confronted his brother at the 38:20 mark of his podcast, Impaulsive. Awkward!!


Everyone knows the cleansing wipe rules – high days and holidays only! Wipes aren't a particularly reliable method of every day cleansing but they're totally fine occasionally – and a good site better than nothing.
These wipes from Garnier are a micellar version, so they feel really soothing on the skin – slightly cool to the touch and removed every last trace of my makeup, which is all they need to do. It's a bit difficult to mark them out as especially different, but I didn't find them at all drying which is sometimes an issue with wipes and that's probably because they don't contain any alcohol. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes are also free from fragrance, so they're indicated for sensitive skin types.
I use Garnier Micellar cleanser anyway so these are a very good stand-by for me for those lazy days or travel. They launch on 16th December for £3.26 in Tesco.
NB: I didn't test on waterproof mascara.
I haven't used a wipe in a long time! I think i've been scared off of them! I always just take micellar on a cotton pad when I'm in a rush. These sounds really interesting though, maybe a perfect middle man.
Love the look / sound of these – i'll definitely be picking some up!

New York State Lt. Governor Kathleen Hochul Meets Students, Scientists at Brookhaven Lab
On August 17, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory hosted New York State Lt. Governor Kathleen Hochul, Jeffery Lewis, her director of external affairs, and Governor Cuomo's Suffolk County regional representative Vanessa Lockel. During a one-hour visit, the Lt. Governor covered a lot of ground.
Accompanied by Lab and DOE-Brookhaven Site Office leadership, Hochul met with several of the Lab's summer students, some of whom displayed posters detailing their summer research projects, on topics ranging from nanoscience to nuclear physics. Hochul also spoke with students working on a beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II—a DOE Office of Science User Facility—and participated in a roundtable discussion on women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields with several of the Lab's female scientists and operations managers.
"The Lab plays an important role in developing a local, regional and national scientific and engineering workforce," said Ken White, manager of the Lab's Office of Educational Programs. "It was an honor to have Lt. Governor Hochul visit and recognize the talented students who collaborated on research here this summer as well as our women in STEM careers. We know she is committed to a strong and diverse STEM workforce and is working hard to ensure all New York State students have every opportunity to succeed."
