Highlanders sign Under-20 star following mass exodus
TRANSFER NEWS: Northland back Scott Gregory will shift South to play for the Highlanders in 2020.
Gregory a strong running outside back had a standout season with the Northland Taniwha during the 2018 NPC, the same year he was selected for the NZ World Rugby Under-20 Championship in France, where he played in all five games. He gained selection again this year for the World Championships in Argentina.
A former NZ age grade athletics champion, Gregory was a member of the All Blacks Sevens team this season playing in several tournaments throughout the year. He will be a welcome addition to the Highlanders outside back stocks next season with his strength and pace.
"I'm thrilled to be given an opportunity to head down south to the Highlanders for the coming season. All part of a childhood dream," said Gregory.
Gregory has signed through to 2021 with the Highlanders, who have been hit hard by the post-World Cup exodus.
All Blacks Ben Smith (Pau), Waisake Naholo (London Irish), Liam Squire (NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes), Jackson Hemopo (Mitsubishi DynaBoars), Luke Whitelock (Pau), Elliot Dixon (Ricoh Black Rams) and Tyrel Lomax (Hurricanes) are among 12 key players who are set to leave the franchise at the end of the year.
Super Rugby veterans Marty Banks (NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes), Matt Faddes (Ulster), Tevita Li (Suntory Sungoliath), Tom Franklin and Richard Buckman (both Kobelco Steelers) are also heading offshore next year.
With Smith, Naholo, Faddes, Li and Buckman all members of the squad's outside backs, Gregory's signature is a valuable one for the 2015 Super Rugby champions.

Q: Tightvncserver on rapsberry pi not working - connection to mac today i installed a vncserver on my raspberry pi running rasbian.
I used this tutorial: http://blog.wenzlaff.de/?p=2207 (its german but i think you will understand what they do there anyway ;) )
Everythin worked great but the tightvnc viever jar applet on my mac will not go further than "handshaking with remote host". After typing in my password of my pi, nothing is happening anymore.
I tried to look in the logs of tightvncserver on the pi , but i got a "permission denied" every time.
Can you help me please. I dont know what do to now.
Thanks

A: Most likely you have some problems with SSH-tunneling ( provided you were following the tutorial).
To diagnose what's happening, first it would be nice to figure out whether your vncserver is running on Raspberry. You can do it by issuing command:
netstat -lnt
The output can look something like below:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ netstat -lnt
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:587           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5901            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6001            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

We are interested to see if there's line:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5901            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

which basically tells us that our vncserver instance is listening on port 5901.
If that's true, then you should be able to use any VNC Viewer to connect to your RPI. Maybe you want to avoid SSH-tunnelling option and connect directly.

there are certain parts of the 80s that should be left there. that jacket is one.


Recently, Microsoft has officially revealed a kind of huge news that is related to the latest operation system development for Windows devices. The news is no other else but the reveal of Windows 8.1 OS. This latest OS is already scheduled to be released in October this year. To be more specific, the time that is already designed by Microsoft is 17 and also 18 of October, 2013. The reason why there are two different release dates available is because 17 October is the time scheduled for all old users of Windows 8 OS to get the new OS for free. This OS can be downloaded directly from Windows Store. On the other hand, the 18th of October is the time for new users to be able to purchase the OS for the very first time.
So, what is actually the difference that can be found in this new Windows 8.1 if compared to the previous series? It is already mentioned officially that one of the huge changes available in this operation system is located in the tile look that is also the very basic special feature of Windows 8 OS. In the latest series of the operation system the tile is more various in sizes. Moreover, multiple tile sizes are the ones that can be used at once by the users. The change of this tile size is something that comes together with the return of Start button that seems to be looked for by quite a lot of Windows 8 users. The system is even better because users can personalize it in many ways they want. Other than that, this new system is the one that is far away more usable compared to the previous one. Besides, the integration between desktop and also start is much better too in this new OS.
Even if there are quite a lot of significant changes that can be found in this new Windows 8.1 system, users should be ready for some details found to be quite lacking in this system. Let us say that the RT system is, just like the previous one, still very slow in speed. For those who love to use computer with faster performance and can get easily annoyed with the slower one, it seems that upgrading to this new Windows OS is something that should be considered quite deeply. Even the tile functions look very great, it is so bad that the apps compatible to the tile are still very limited. Moreover, it is already known that there is no third-party app available for this operation system yet. For the basic new system, the lacking that is found is located in the difficulty to get used to the new changes available in this new OS.
Computers have come a very long way in just the last few years, but they can still be very complicated to operate. Technology is not always user friendly and when you start talking about things like computer security, things can get even more confusing. Does computer security confuse you?
There are Cyber Security solutions out there that are extremely easy to understand and operate. In fact, most of them will require no user interaction at all. Once they have been installed on your computer system, they will silently keep working in the background. There are no confusing choices that look like they have been written in a foreign language and you don't have to take a class at a local college just to learn how to operate the software.
The software engineers have made all of the hard decisions for you. They have created a piece of software that works tirelessly around the clock to protect your computer with no input from you.
This type of security software is intelligent. It knows how to detect, analyze and adapt to an entire world of constantly changing threats. It does this in several very unique ways. While you are fast asleep at night, the computer software is busy connecting to the Internet and getting all of the information that it needs to fight off attacks. You could think of this software as the equivalent of locking your computer in a safe.
Why Do You Need This Type of Protection?
There is an entire world full of cyber criminals out there. These criminals want to get inside your computer and steal your personal information. They want access to your bank accounts or any other information that could help them steal your identity. You may never know they have taken anything until it is too late.
Don't let this happen to you. Keep your computer locked down tight with the right software security system.
Computer Vectors: What Are They Actually?
Well, you might not be really familiar with computer vectors. However, you need to know that this matter is so effective as the means to support certain promotion and advertising. In case you do not really understand what we are talking about here, the vectors are actually some graphic design or pictures done using the computer and they are created for certain reasons and intentions.
Commonly the vectors are included into certain advertisements to make the advertisements look even more attractive. However, there are also some people who make the vectors just because they want to do it. It is like a hobby for them. Some people even value vectors as art works. No matter what you have in mind about the vectors, it is hard to deny that such matter has its own charm. It can surely attract the attention of the people. Perhaps, that is why computer vectors are then used to become the part of the advertising. If you are a businessman and you are trying to cope with some promotion of your business, you can start seeking for the vectors. Yes, indeed, there is no need for you to make the vectors on your own because not all people are able to do it. Some services are able to provide the vectors for you. Some of them can even make the vectors based on your order and some provide them for free. Freevector.com is one of the online services to provide the vectors for free. Thus, you can simply download the vectors to be used on your own. Even though it is for free but the quality is so good. For addition, the choice is highly varied for you. But, there are also some exclusive vectors and you can also order the vectors and it means that you need to spend some money.
Nonetheless, there is no need to worry about the amount because it is totally affordable. What if you are not trying to get the vectors but you are more into making some? This service is still the best place for you. You can show your skills to the world by providing your vectors to be included and offered by this website. Of course, there will be some compensation you can get. For every 5 vectors you make and indeed, have been selected to be published, you can get a reward as much as $30 in the form of voucher. It is so awesome, isn't it? For addition, you can also let the people know about who you are because the website will also provide your short bio. Who knows that after submitting your vectors, there are some people attracted to hire you professionally? Of course, you can start making real money that way.

JUNE 21 – OCTOBER 1, 2017
Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal
Co-curators: Lesley Johnstone and Monika Kin Gagnon
In Search of Expo 67 brings together new works by nineteen contemporary Québec and Canadian artists inspired by the most innovative, experimental and provocative dimensions of the original event, and its artistic, cultural, social and political contexts. Created in dialogue with the spirit of 1967, these works (sixteen of which are newly commissioned) highlight Expo 67's undeniable inventiveness while challenging some of its underlying presumptions. Architecture, sound art, visual art, film and music are the poles around which this creative endeavour turns. Grounded in committed artistic and archival research, the artworks highlight the exceptional creative liberty given to the artists, architects, filmmakers and designers who took part in the original exhibition, their experimentation with state-of-the-art technology and the diverse nature of their creations. The exhibition is part of the official program celebrating the 375th anniversary of Montreal and Expo 67 – 50 Years Later.

HomeCOMMENTARYMeet the People's Ambassador with Impressive Diplomatic Records
Meet the People's Ambassador with Impressive Diplomatic Records
October 27, 2016 Publisher and Chief Executive Officer KABS KANU COMMENTARY, Uncategorized 0
By Alhaji M.B. Jalloh Press Attaché, Saudi Arabia reports in Abu Dhabi, UAE
His name is a household name in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both his office and residence are open to all Sierra Leoneans living in or visiting the United (UAE). He has an open door policy.
He is always ready to attend and interact with his nationals across the Seven Emirates whenever he is called upon. In less than two and half years since he assumed duty as Sierra Leone's first resident Ambassador to the UAE with accreditation to other Gulf countries, he has established contacts with a good number of foreign diplomats and prominent Emirati Government functionaries, especially in the UAE Foreign Office.
Before he took office as Ambassador, Sierra Leone was little known in this part of the world, but his rebranding techniques has prompted Emiratis to visit and help Sierra Leone on a number of occasions. And Emirati Investors have also expressed interest in visiting Sierra Leone in the not-distant future to invest in the Energy, Tourism, Agriculture, Mining, Marine, Aviation and Telecommunications sectors.
Prior to President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma's appointment of Architect Siray Alpha Timbo as Ambassador to the UAE, the fine gentleman was the Special Envoy of His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone to the UAE, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Middle East from 2009 up to the time of his appointment.
He also served as the Chairman of the Presidential Implementation Committee on Investment and Development (PICID) in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and Middle East.
Before becoming his country's top diplomat in the UAE, he was also the Chairman and Commissioner of the National Telecommunications Commission (NATCOM) – a position he held from 2008 – 2013. As Chair and Commissioner of NATCOM, Mr. Timbo embarked on restructuring the Commission in terms of personnel, focus and policy direction. He and six other Commissioners collectively advised the President on matters of telecommunications, television and wireless broadcasting services.
Envoy Timbo who is also the Proprietor and Chairman of MJ Motels in the provincial towns of Makeni, Port Loko and Kabala from 2005 to date was widely known in the country as an established Architect running a very successful architectural firm, IDEAS Limited – a firm which largely influence the national infrastructural landscape as evidenced in many projects, including, SLTU, NASSIT, RITCORP, Banks, Hotels, Hospitals, Cooperate Offices, among many others.
IDEAS Limited also provided consulting services for projects financed by the World Bank, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), African Development Bank (AfDB), UNOPS, BADEA, Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and the European Union.
Besides his architectural prowess, Ambassador Tmbo is well known for his leadership qualities, good interpersonal relationship with people and his unending compassion and generosity for the needy.
Because of his openness and generosity, his office in Freetown was often jam-packed with visitors who wanted their numerous problems to be solved by him and he would willingly offer them what they wanted. He assisted thousands of Sierra Leoneans (and still assisting) in need before he took up his Ambassadorial appointment.
His kind heartedness, patriotism and generosity seemed to have sharpened his performance in his diplomatic mission and I am sure President Koroma is very proud to have made the right choice by appointing him as Ambassador to this region.
Because of his love for his country and people, he had sleepless nights during the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Sierra Leone. The soft-spoken Ambassador engaged the authorities of UAE and several institutions to see how best they would aid Sierra Leone in the fight against Ebola. The outcome of his efforts to solicit assistance for Sierra Leone was very positive and thank God the deadly epidemic has finally been declared over by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In his usual engagement with Sierra Leoneans in the UAE, Ambassador Siray Timbo has always harped on patriotism and the necessity to contribute to national development as true Sierra Leoneans, instead of thinking regionally or with ethno-centricity. He has always appealed to them to put the country first and contribute to its development.
He always appeal to Sierra Leonenan businessmen in and outside the second and commercial city of Dubai to prioritize the investment of their resources back home in order to create job opportunities for their brothers and sisters.
"It feels like home for us in the UAE, in that; this is the first time we have got a diplomatic representative in this country that cares for our welfare and always consults with us on national issues," Ibrahim Talleh Bah, President of the Sierra Leone Union and businessman told me at the Dubai Mall this afternoon.
Sierra Leoneans, he added, are delighted that they have now got a diplomatic mission in the UAE and they are enthused about contributing towards national development for the benefit of their people back home.
The Ambassador and his Embassy Staff are working very hard to identify every Sierra Leonean living in the UAE in order to know their concerns and how to address them at all costs. The Ambassador's concerns about the welfare of fellow compatriots have made him a hero in the Sierra Leonean community in the UAE; that is very appreciative of his efforts to reconcile and unite them for the development of their country.
Another Sierra Leonean businessman in the UAE, who is very impressed about Siray Timbo's love for fellow Sierra Leoneans, told me that if only all Sierra Leoneans would be as compassionate and generous as the Ambassador, Sierra Leone would be at absolute peace; where no one would think of partisan, regional or tribal differences.
"Ambassador Siray Timbo is a likeable Ambassador who has brought all Sierra Leoneans together in the UAE. And this has never happened until President Koroma saw it fit to establish a diplomatic mission here for which we are very grateful as Sierra Leoneans," said the businessman.
He believes that it is time for them to start contributing to national development through the admonition of the shrewd Ambassador. Many Sierra Leoneans I have spoken to since my arrival in the UAE early this week about the performance of Ambassador Timbo have made complimentary remarks about his kind person; thereby commending the President for giving them a perfect gentleman as their Ambassador.
Ambassador Timbo has so far justified why President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma appointed him to represent his country in the UAE by not only rebranding Sierra Leone and wooing investors to invest in his country, but also by making Sierra Leoneans in this oil-rich Gulf State have a sense of belonging and that their Government cares for them greatly even when they are far away from home.
He has in every meeting with the Sierra Leonean community reminded them of their duties, responsibilities and obligations as Sierra Leoneans and urged them to portray the true image of their country abroad; instead of involving in issues that would bring bad name to the country.
Ambassador Timbo is seen by the Sierra Leonean community in the UAE as a mentor, adviser and true brother who always expresses concern over their welfare to ensure that they are not hurt by the authorities of the UAE. He is held in high esteem for his patriotism, diplomatic finesse, compassion and generosity towards humanity.
To crown it all, the Envoy is doing an exemplary work in the UAE by rebranding the country, wooing investors to do business in Sierra Leone, bringing Sierra Leoneans together and admonishing them to be nationalistic and instrumental to national development, and using his professionalism in International Relations in engaging the appropriate authorities in the diplomatic circles on the issue of national development. In short, Ambassador Siray Timbo is an embodiment of true brotherhood, diplomacy and patriotism.

Louisiana Artist to Travel to Fort Worth to be Part of the Graffiti and Street Art Festival
Dec 20, 2017 | Art
Art on a Can Finalist J. Ben Moss is Set to Compete for the Grand Prize in March
FORT WORTH, TX, December 20, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ — There has been a lot of buzz going around regarding Box Office Warehouse Suites, Fort Worth's most innovative and controversial business park to date. So much so, that Fort Worth's shipping container movement has spread worldwide, and artists such as J. Ben Moss have taken interest.
Earlier in the year, RDS Real Estate announced that they would be doing something that has never been done before, and so construction for Box Office Warehouse Suites began. Along with a business park made entirely from shipping containers, Box Office Warehouse Suites wanted to welcome freedom of expression to Fort Worth. Box Office Warehouse Suites will be home to innovative business minds that do not like to limit themselves when it comes to success, and the idea to display this expression freedom was born. Box Office Warehouse Suites announced that it would be hosting a graffiti and street art contest, Art on a Can, as part of the Graffiti and Street Art Festival, where artist would be able to have their murals displayed on the side of the shipping container business buildings. The contest welcomed all artists of all age levels, and had artists as young as thirteen years of age submit applications, and even reached artists overseas.
After judge deliberation, five finalists were chosen to compete for the grand prize, and among those finalists is a Louisiana based artist better known as J. Ben Moss. J. Ben Moss is not a rookie when it comes to art, professionally, he's been an artist for approximately twenty years. At heart, he has been an artist for as long as he can remember, around forty years' worth of memories that relate to art. When asked about his ties with art, J. Ben Moss had this to say, "I have always made art, from the moment I could pick up a crayon as a child. What really got me going was comics. Comics sparked everything that has come after.
Moss' early comic interest can be reflected on some of his art pieces and overall artist style. If anything is taken from his mural, Moss wants it to be this, "My hope is that my mural will inspire people to look around them and notice when they are actually happy. We forget to do that, I think. It is very easy to get mired in the day-to-day drudgery of living. Sometimes just being, taking a moment to appreciate your present moment can be helpful. Even better is being able to stop and laugh."
J. Ben Moss will be one of the five finalists that will have his mural displayed to the public at Graffiti and Street Art Festival, a one-day art festival in Fort Worth. The festival proceeds will be donated to SPCA of Texas, and there will be gallery tours of the shipping containers, different forms of entertainment, free food, and prize giveaways throughout the day. This event is anticipated to draw a large crowd of all age ranges, being a family-friendly event where furry friends are also welcomed. It will be hosted by and held at Box Office Warehouse Suites on March 17, 2018, from 11 A.M. until 5 P.M.
Box Office Warehouse Suites is located in the heart of the Alliance Town Center business area, just north of Fort Worth, south of the Alliance Airport, off the Golden Triangle exit. The development will have 38-multi-use office-business suites and retail spaces, made from over 100 shipping containers, with rents starting as low as $875 per month. It is a truly unique business opportunity that is hard to pass up on.

Q: How do i set a value to x if a random number is in-between 6 - 9 When I run my code, the numbers less than or equal to 6 show up as: x: 1. If the random number was 7, it wouldn't say x: 2. How do i fix it if the random number was in-between 6 - 9, it would print x: 2.
import random

for k in range(1,10):
    rnum =  random.randint(1, 10)
    print(rnum)
    if rnum <= 6:
        x = 1
        print("x:",x)

    elif rnum == (6,9):
        x = 2
        print("x:", x)

    elif rnum == 10:
        x = 3
        print("x:", x)

when you run code:
8
9
1
x: 1
1
x: 1
5
x: 1
1
x: 1
4
x: 1
9
4
x: 1

Process finished with exit code 0

A: Currently, you're using elif rnum == (6,9): which is not correct syntax. Try using elif rnum <= 9 and rnum >= 6: translated to "if x is less than or equal to 9 and greater than or equal to 6".

A: When you check elif rnum == (6,9):, the left hand side is an int and the right hand side is a tuple.  Equality won't work.
You can check for membership of a tuple with in, but the tuple will need all values explicitly:  elif rnum in (6,7,8,9):.  An alternative is to use a range, but bear in mind that ranges are non-inclusive for the upper limit so it would be: elif rnum in range(6,10):.


SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Santa Clara baseball team (9-10) guaranteed at least a split in the series by defeating Brown (2-8), 5-1, for the second-straight time this afternoon in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
Starting sophomore pitcher Brock Simon improved to 2-3 with a solid seven-inning effort, striking out one and only allowing one run on four hits. Junior closer J.R. Graham picked up his third save of the year, striking out two batters in two innings of work.
Pat Terry starred at the plate for the Broncos, going 2-for-4 and hitting his first homerun of the year, a three-run shot to left center in the eighth inning. Also going 2-for-4 was sophomore Matt Ozanne and junior Lucas Herbst. Freshman Kyle DeMerritt and sophomore Justin Viele were both 2-for-3.
Santa Clara scored in the third and fourth innings to make it 2-0 on RBI-singles from Herbst and Viele, while Brown halved the lead in the top of the fifth inning. Terry's homerun in the eighth was the final scoring play of the game.
Brown used four pitchers in the losing effort. Starter Kevin Carlow fell to 0-3 on the year after pitching six innings with two earned runs on eight hits.
Game Notes: Game duration, 2:18 … LOB: Santa Clara 6, Brown 5 … seven innings tied Brock Simon's season-high innings pitched … MLB legend John Franco was in attendance, as his son J.J. starts for Brown at second base.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Santa Clara offense (10-10) exploded to pull to .500 on the season and ensure a series victory over visiting Brown (2-9) by defeating the Bears, 18-3, in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader at Schott Stadium.
"We took what they gave us and they helped us a little bit," said head coach Mark O'Brien. "We were disciplined to take our walks and hit-by-pitches, which is good. We had a lot of two-out RBIs which is good. No matter what the score is, you have to have quality at-bats. I think that is what our guys focused on."
The offensive performance was highlighted three-RBI performances by junior Lucas Herbst, freshman Kyle DeMerritt and sophomore Quinton Perry. Chris Mendoza (2-2) had a strong outing for the Broncos pitching seven innings while surrendering one run on four hits and striking out two batters.
After Brown pitcher Mark Gormley hit two consecutive batters, senior Curtis Wagner ignited the Bronco bats in the first with an RBI-single. Sophomore Matt Ozanne also hit an RBI-single to give Santa Clara a 2-0 lead after the first inning.
Santa Clara poured on four more runs in the second inning, chasing Gormley from the mound with no outs in the second. Reliever Anthony Galan didn't fare much better as Herbst scored sophomore Blake Leyva from third on a sacrifice-squeeze play and DeMerritt added an RBI-single. Patrick Terry continued the inning with a two-RBI single.
The Broncos blew the game open in the third when sophomore Justin Viele hit a RBI-double. Freshman Zach Looney and Herbst then knocked in two more runs with singles. DeMerritt got his second RBI of the day of with a sacrifice fly. Ozanne added another sacrifice fly to give Santa Clara an 11-0 lead after three innings.
Brown finally put a run on the board in the fourth when Pete Geskoff drove in a runner with an RBI-single.
In the fifth inning, DeMerritt roped a ball down the third base line to tally his third RBI of the day, extending the Santa Clara lead to 11 runs.
In the seventh, the Broncos increased their lead when Looney provided a ground-out RBI and Herbst posted a RBI-double. Junior Andrew Biancardi then provided a pinch-hit RBI-single. Quinton Perry crushed a pinch-hit three-run homer, his first career hit, that sailed over the left field fence to extend the Santa Clara lead to 18-1.
"It felt good. I got an opportunity to get in there and I just had to go out there with the best I had," said Perry.
Brown loaded the bases in the ninth as the Broncos used the opportunity to get the bullpen some work, walking in two runs to make the final score 18-3.
"Those runs don't count tomorrow, so we need to come out and prepare properly," said O'Brien.
Santa Clara concludes its four-game series with Brown tomorrow with a 6 p.m. The Broncos then take on UC Davis at home on Wednesday Mar. 30 at 6 p.m.

The 6-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by Patel, reduced repo rate or the short term rate at which central bank lends to banks, to 6.25 percent.
India's new RBI governor Shaktikanta Das "has delivered what the Modi government was hoping for", said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist of Capital Economics, in a note. The customary post-Budget board meeting was earlier scheduled for February 9 but has now been deferred.
The MPC made a decision to cut repo rate in a 4-2 split and unanimously change its stance from calibrated tightening to neutral. Chetan Ghate and Viral V Acharya voted to keep the policy rate unchanged. With headline inflation around 4 percent, the central bank may use policy space to boost growth. Retail inflation, measured by y-o- y change in the CPI, declined from 3.4 per cent in October 2018 to 2.2 per cent in December, the lowest print in the last 18 months.

'Game of Thrones' Returns April 2019!
Published on November 13th, 2018 | Updated on November 13th, 2018 | By FanFest
Game of Thrones will return in April of 2019!
The show's YouTube page dropped a trailer mashup Tuesday, of highlights from each of the series 7 seasons past, and the end reveals the release month. The trailer escalates to what we will see as the final battle with the white walkers that the series has built up to over the years.
With the video, they write:
Every battle. Every betrayal. Every risk. Every fight. Every sacrifice. Every death. All #ForTheThrone. The final season of Game of Thrones returns in April.
Originally, we didn't know if we'd get the season until the summer like last year, so April is a welcome surprise! The final season of Game of Thrones will round out the series that became a global phenomenon based on a fictional land called Westeros that most resembles medieval England.
HBO has a new project based on the series in development, which will be written by Jane Goldman.
It will focus on the world's fall from the Golden Age of Heroes, into a darker time, before the epic events of Game of Thrones. It's likely to take the legends we think we're familiar with on the series and take them up a notch.
Naomi Watts was recently cast in the series along with Josh Whitehouse.

Padraig Beggy (born 30 March 1986) is an Irish professional jockey, who won the 2017 Epsom Derby on Wings of Eagles and the 2019 Irish Derby on Sovereign. He is retained by leading trainer Aidan O'Brien.

Early career

Beggy grew up in Dunboyne, Ireland, and his interest in horse racing developed on childhood visits to Fairyhouse.
He first sat on a horse at the age of 14 when working for a local trainer, Owen Weldon. He began his professional racing career in 2003 after graduating from the Racing Academy and Centre of Education in Kildare, and rode his first winner in an apprentice handicap at Naas in July of that year on Red Venus, trained by Seamus Fahey. He was briefly apprentice with Kevin Prendergast which caused him to downscale his riding ambitions, since without the backing of a major trainer, the life of a jockey was tough. In total, he spent eight seasons riding in Ireland, and in his most successful year there, he achieved 22 winners. Notable victories came in big handicaps on Prendergast's Ulfah, Noel Meade's Sugarhoneybaby and Green Lassy for Ger Lyons.

Beggy moved to England in 2011, and was based with trainer John Quinn one year, and David Evans the following year. He won another eight races before moving on to further his career in Australia.

In 2014, while in Australia, Beggy was banned from riding for fifteen months after testing positive for cocaine. To compound the issue, he provided two false explanations for the results. First he claimed that the positive test was as a consequence of anaesthetic used by his dentist. Then he claimed that it was due to eating coca leaves provided by a friend. Eventually, he confessed that he had deliberately taken the drug while at a barbecue three nights previously. The lack of honesty caused additional trouble and he was banned for fifteen months. After an appeal failed, he returned to Dunboyne. At that point, although a decade into his career, he had not succeeded in making a major impact, and there seemed to be limited prospects of a successful return to the sport.

Ballydoyle career

However, two friends, who worked at Aidan O'Brien's stable at Ballydoyle, introduced him to the trainer, and O'Brien gave him a job riding out. O'Brien encouraged him to work hard, promising he would be repaid for his efforts, and began to give him rides in big races as a result. Nevertheless, several other jockeys were ahead of him in the stable's pecking order and until the 2017 Derby, he had only ridden three winners in two and a half years with O'Brien. In 2015, he rode one winner from 26 races, and in 2016 one from 66 rides. Mainly he was regarded as a "journeyman jockey", although in April 2017, he secured his biggest winner to that point by winning a Group 3 at Leopardstown on Hydrangea.

In the 2017 Derby, O'Brien ran six horses. Beggy was given the ride on Wings of Eagles, which was the fifth string according to the betting. It was only his second ride in Britain in five years. Despite the long odds (40/1), the horse won, to the shock of even O'Brien himself. The trainer said Beggy had given the horse "a peach of a ride" and called him "a world-class rider".

Shortly after that success, Beggy was given an eight-day ban for interference when riding O'Brien's pacemaker Taj Mahal in the Eclipse at Sandown.

In the 2019 Epsom Derby Beggy rode the Ballydoyle pacemaker Sovereign, who, having made the running until the straight, finished in tenth place. In the Irish Derby Sovereign, again ridden by Beggy, started at odds of 33/1. He soon went to the front, building up a strong lead with only stablemate Norway for company. He maintained his lead going into the straight and stayed on strongly under hands and heels in the final furlong to win by six lengths from Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck. It was Beggy's first win of the season. Afterwards he said: "I'm just very, very lucky I've won the English and Irish Derby. That is down to a big group of people but I would say mainly Aidan O'Brien to put me on. Aidan would give you confidence and that helps. I just got into a lovely comfortable rhythm and I felt like I could go quicker all through the race. My horse really enjoyed here, a big galloping track... I did think that something would be coming to me, and when I was close enough to have a peep at the big screen I knew I was clear".

Beggy continues to ride for O'Brien.

ORWELL'S NEWSPEAK
WHAT SCIENCE OFFERS ON THE TAIWAN CONFLICT
"The Ministry of Truth—Minitrue, in Newspeak (Newspeak was the official language of Oceania) […] was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:
WAR IS PEACE – FREEDOM IS SLAVERY – IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH:
[…] The Ministry of Truth […] concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts." (George Orwell 1984, 1949, p. 6).
George Orwell's novel "1984" is no longer fiction today. Well-sounding goals have long been incorporated into political agendas that strive for the exact opposite. The tensions between the People's Republic and Taiwan (Republic of China) are a good example of this. Orwell's literary subject is based on the linguistic Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, according to which language influences thinking. This can be used to deconstruct power techniques used by dictatorships and their ruling elites. In the case of the People's Republic, language politics play a key role. It regulates public use of language and is intolerant of regional and minority languages. Trough language planning, Pejing stages its "peaceful reunification" while at the same time threatening Taiwan with war if it resists. This corresponds to the slogan "War is peace". Equally ambiguous is the phrase "freedom is slavery", according to which Taiwan must have fallen into economic dependency because of its desire for freedom. Again, the opposite is the case: Beijing's economic reforms in the 1990s were an attempt to copy the successful model of the tiger state and "class enemy". Finally, the People's Republic has adopted Orwell's slogan "ignorance is strength": Its UN membership (1971) is based on a deception of the world community about the victims of Mao's Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and the expected consequences of the digital revolution.

CHINA'S POLITICAL RHETORIC
PROPAGANDA RESHAPES SOCIAL REALITY
ORWELL'S NEWSPEAK SERVING THE LANGUAGE PLANNERS OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
♦ All modern official languages are the result of a standardisation of selected language norms (grammar, orthography, lexis). Such a standardisation process is a sociolinguistic precondition for the alphabetisation of the broad population. It is developed by social organisations or state language commissions and implemented through the respective national education systems.
♦ China embarked on this path of modernisation at the end of the empire in 1912. The new Republic of China charged a commission with the creation of universally valid language standard. In 1920, it published the first dictionary of the modern Chinese standard language, which since 1932 has been called Guóyǔ (en. national language) or Huáyǔ (en. language of the Chinese).
♦ This did not go far enough for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since the founding of the People's Republic (1.10.1949), it has steered language development in favour of its socialist system. But its attempts to introduce the Latin script met with resistance. What remained was a standardisation of the transliteration, which has been internationally recognized as an ISO standard under the name Pinyin since 1982.
♦ As an authoritarian regime, the People's Republic of China regards language reform as a continuous process. The CCP uses them to assert its leadership power in all areas of society. Since 1956, the Ministry of Education has published a list of selected standard characters for public use, initially with 2200 and today with 8,300 characters. This standard is called Pǔtōnghuà (common language).
♦ The Republic of China (Taiwan) also pursues a language policy within the framework of its democratic system. It accepts the standard of the People's Republic (Pǔtōnghuà, Mandarin), but also adheres to the standard from the first half of the 20th century (Guóyǔ). Taiwanese Mandarin transmits the approx. 100,000 surviving characters with their more complex typeface and entirely dispenses with language prohibitions.
♦ Taipei is not only tolerant of the two Mandarin language norms. In addition, the Republic of China has broken with Chinese nationalism in recent years and allowed regional minority languages to become official languages. This policy of multilingualism spills over into the People's Republic of China, especially into Hong Kong and Macau. Beijing sees this as a threat to its claim to cultural leadership.
Chinese Language and Dialect Groups
Source: Chinese dialect groups, Wyunhe, File: Map of sinitic dialect – English version, wikipedia, 9.5.2011.
Note: This map is methodically problematic. It does not depict the multilingualism of high-level language (Mandarin) and dialects, but constructs a contrast. Moreover, Cantonese and Taiwanese also exist in standard forms, a differentiation between the two variants of Mandarin in the People's Republic and on Taiwan is completely missing.
ORWELL'S "WAR IS PEACE": CHINA'S NATIONALISM TARGETS TAIWAN
♦ The hegemonic claim of the People's Republic to the Chinese culture and language goes back to the Soviet model. It bears the hallmark of the Commissar for Nationalities Josef Stalin, who had integrated nationalism into the socialist state doctrine. Beijing still adheres to this model today, while Taiwan has been turning away from nationalism since the 1990s.
♦ Until 1990, both sides advocated the one-China doctrine. With the founding of the United Nations (UN), Taiwan was initially accepted with its claim to sole representation and became a member of the UN Security Council. It was not until 1971 that the UN General Assembly followed the People's Republic's claim to sole representation, which had ousted Taiwan from the UN and the Security Council.
♦ This history of the conflict shows that the Taiwan question has concerned international politics from the very beginning. Beijing's argument that it is an internal Chinese affair does not apply and even divides international law: UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 (25.10.1971) was not binding, unlike the decisions of the Security Council. Moreover, Taiwan was not guilty of anything.
♦ In 1990, Taiwan founded a National Reunification Council in the hope of a reconciliation with Beijing. According to Kuomintang representatives, there was a "consensus" in 1992, which Beijing denies to this day. In 1995, China's President Jiang Zemin reasserted the ownership of Taiwan in eight principles. Taipei then set five conditions of its own.
♦ Since the anti-secession law of 2005, the People's Republic of China has been increasing pressure on Taiwan with the aim of reunification along the lines of Hong Kong (1997) and Macau (1999). The Republic of China then considered the option of seeking its own UN membership as the second Chinese state (Taiwan), which Beijing interprets as an attempt of secession.
♦ In contrast to the Kuomintang (KMT), which is ready for talks with Beijing, the current president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen (Democratic Progressive Party DPP), named preconditions: Talks on reunification would only be considered if the People's Republic renounced the use of force and respected the will of the Taiwanese.
ORWELL'S "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY": TAIWAN AS A SYMBOL OF FREE WORLD TRADE
♦ According to socialist theory, Taiwan should have fallen into slavery and dependence on other states because of its desire for freedom. This narrative is contradicted by the fact that, despite diplomatic isolation since 1971, Taiwan has developed into an Asian dragon with high growth rates – even during the Corona crisis – and a system of social security.
♦ In the People's Republic of China, similar economic growth did not begin until decades later. Constitutional reforms since the beginning of the 1990s allow forms of private ownership that were supposed to transform the centrally planned system into a "socialist market economy". Beijing obviously wanted to copy the Taiwanese success story.
♦ In contrast to Taiwan, social inequality in the People's Republic increased enormously. According to the Credit Suisse Report 2021, it is right behind the USA with 9 percent of all millionaires worldwide. At the same time, the number of migrant workers rose to 250 million (31 percent of all workers). According to the World Bank's definition, 40 percent live in poverty (under 5.50 US dollars a day).
♦ The People's Republic is also seeking reunification with Taiwan for economic reasons. With its company TSMC, the island is the world market leader in semiconductor technology. In contrast, Beijing is dependent on foreign countries for chip production. According to the plan, it could only become self-sufficient in 2025. But the interest in Taiwanese specialists remains high.
♦ The conflict between the People's Republic and Taiwan in chip production is relevant for security policy in the region as well as worldwide: If Taiwan would lose its market position, the People's Republic would have a key position in a highly sensitive branch of industry in terms of security policy. This is a reason for the USA to stand by Taiwan in the event of an escalation.
♦ As Beijing's relations with Africa show, the ideologically based friendship between the "Afro-Asian peoples" has given way to economic dependency structures. China uses its position as a monopoly provider of infrastructure to acquire land for food production, to the disadvantage of the African population.

ORWELLS "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH": CULTURAL REVOLUTION INSTEAD OF HUMAN RIGHTS
♦ The socialist ideology of the People's Republic blocks the view of real political development. Africa is an example of the great divergence between expectations and reality. For example, the construction activity of Chinese investors favours urbanisation and the rise of poverty settlements (slums). In addition, Africa is losing its own arable land in these deals.
♦ The arm of Chinese government institutions reaches so far into global networks that even academic institutions "set the record straight" on any negative images, such as the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) or the Berlin Marx Engels Centre. They dispel any doubts about Beijing's self-serving motives in trade with Africa and Europe.
♦ Journalists report, however, that much is not made public because Beijing wants to keep the trade agreements under wraps. Since the adoption of the EU's Trade Secrets Directive (2016), this lack of transparency has also become a practice in the European Commission, for example with the trade agreement with Canada (CETA), vaccine manufacturers (2020) and the investment agreement with China (CAI).
♦ It was only after pressure from business associations and members of the European Parliament that the Commission had to announce details of the EU-China agreement at the beginning of 2021. According to the agreement, Beijing has the right to fill management positions in the representative offices of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in China with its own staff. After that, the negotiations were put on hold.
♦ The ignorance of the international community about the crimes of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1967), which claimed the lives of about 80 million people, has far-reaching consequences. This was known when the People's Republic was admitted to the UN (1971), yet Beijing was never held responsible. Its commitment to the "fundamental rights of man" (UN Charter) was only pretended.
♦ This ignorance gives strength to China's party leadership. It blames the crimes of the Cultural Revolution on the "Gang of Four" in order to maintain the personality cult around Mao. This is what President Xi Jinping is currently building on when he revives the old phrase of "national rejuvenation" in order to discipline the entire society, including Taiwan.
