Man linked to Saudi prince at consulate when writer vanished
Man linked...
ISTANBUL (AP) - A member of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's entourage during several trips abroad walked into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul just before writer Jamal Khashoggi vanished there, a surveillance photo leaked Thursday shows, drawing the kingdom's heir-apparent closer to the columnist's alleged slaying.
The man, identified by Turkish officials as Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, has been photographed in the background of Prince Mohammed's trips to the U.S., France and Spain this year.
Turkish officials say he flew into Istanbul on a private jet along with an "autopsy expert" Oct. 2 and left that night. That was the same day Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who wrote critically of Prince Mohammed's rise to power, entered the consulate and was not seen again.
Saudi Arabia, which initially called the allegations "baseless," has not responded to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press over recent days, including on Thursday over Mutreb's identification. The AP could not immediately reach Mutreb for comment.
But Mutreb's appearance at the consulate, as well as later at the consul general's residence, adds to the growing pressure on Saudi Arabia amid international outrage over the disappearance of the writer, whom Turkish officials say was killed and dismembered.
In a further sign of that pressure, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he will not attend an investment conference in Saudi Arabia, as did senior government officials from France, Britain and the Netherlands. Several top business executives have also canceled plans to attend, as has the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde.
Analysts say that as long as the Saudis refuse to acknowledge what happened to Khashoggi, the leaks about the case will probably continue.
"Turkey wants to show to the world that it cannot be ignoble, selling values and principles in political deals with U.S. or Saudi to try to bury the truth and come up with an acceptable scenario," said Yusuf Katipoglu, a Turkish analyst.
The pro-government Sabah newspaper on Thursday first published the images of Mutreb, showing him walking past police barricades at the consulate at 9:55 a.m. with several men trailing behind him. Khashoggi arrived at the consulate several hours later at 1:14 p.m., then disappeared while his fiancée waited outside for him.
A report Wednesday by the pro-government newspaper Yeni Safak, citing what it described as an audio recording of Khashoggi's slaying, said a Saudi team immediately accosted the 60-year-old journalist after he entered the consulate, cutting off his fingers and later decapitating him.
Previously leaked surveillance footage showed consular vehicles movin
Previously leaked surveillance footage showed consular vehicles moving from the consulate to the consul general's official residence, some 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away, a little under two hours after Khashoggi walked inside. The Sabah-published pictured showed an image of the Mutreb at 4:53 p.m. at the consul's home, then at 5:15 p.m. checking out of a hotel. He later cleared an airport security check at 5:58 p.m. before flying out of Istanbul.
Mutreb's name matches that of a first secretary who once served as a diplomat at the Saudi Embassy in London, according to a 2007 list compiled by the British Foreign Office. The same name also appears in an email published by WikiLeaks from the 2015 breach of surveillance company Hacking Team of Saudi officials being trained to use their software. That breach showed how governments were increasingly turning to mercenary hackers-for-hire to pry into the cellphones and computers of their domestic opponents.
Mutreb's identity was confirmed by Turkish officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigat
Mutreb's identity was confirmed by Turkish officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Mutreb also was identified in state and pro-government media reports.
It's unclear what relationship Mutreb has with Prince Mohammed.
Images shot by the Houston Chronicle and later distributed by the AP show Mutreb in Prince Mohammed's entourage when he visited a Houston subdivision in April to see rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Harvey. The same man wore lapel pins, including one of the U.S. and Saudi flags intertwined, that other bodyguards accompanying Prince Mohammed wore on the trip.
The three-week trip across the U.S. saw Prince Mohammed meet with business leaders and celebrities, including Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, who now owns the Post.
Mutreb also has appeared in images on Prince Mohammed's trips to Boston, as well as Spain and France.
The Sabah report came as Turkish crime-scene investigators finished an overnight search of both the consul general's residence and a second search of the consulate itself. Authorities have not said specifically what they found, although technicians carried out bags and boxes from the consul general's home. He left Turkey on Tuesday.
The searches and the leaks in Turkish media have ensured attention remains focused on what happened to Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who went into a self-imposed exile in the U.S. after the rise of Prince Mohammed. It also put further strains on the relationship between the kingdom, the world's largest oil exporter, and its main security guarantor, the U.S., as tensions with Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East remain high.
President Donald Trump, who initially came out hard on the Saudis over the disappearance but since has backed off, said Wednesday that the U.S. wanted Turkey to turn over any audio or video recording it had of Khashoggi's alleged killing "if it exists."
After briefing Trump on Thursday on his talks this week with leaders in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he told the Saudi rulers that the U.S. takes "very seriously" the disappearance of Khashoggi and will await the outcome of investigations by the kingdom and Turkey before deciding how to respond.
Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Reporters Without Borders jointly called for a U.N. investigation of the Khashoggi disappearance.
"If the government of Saudi Arabia is not involved in Jamal Khashoggi's fate, it has the most to gain in seeing an impartial U.N. investigation determine what happened," said Sherine Tadros of Amnesty International. "Without a credible U.N. inquiry, there will always be a cloud of suspicion hanging over Saudi Arabia, no matter what its leadership says to explain away how Khashoggi vanished."
The Post published Thursday what it described as Khashoggi's last column, in which he pointed to the muted international response to ongoing abuses against journalists by governments in the Middle East.
"As a result, Arab governments have been given free rein to continue silencing the media at an increasing rate," Khashoggi wrote. He added: "The Arab world is facing its own version of an Iron Curtain, imposed not by external actors but through domestic forces vying for power."

Vuelta a España - Chris Froome: It's good to bounce back again
Vuelta a España leader Chris Froome of Team Sky had every reason to be happy after stage 18, having gained some valuable seconds on his key rival Vincenzo Nibali.
Froome looked strong on the final climb, even setting the pace himself to drop most of his direct opponents for the general classification. Second-placed Nibali ended up losing 21 of the seconds he gained in the previous stage.
"Today worked perfectly in my favour," he said. "It was a really tough stage, a lot of GC guys tried to attack on the penultimate climb. So when we got to the last climb we set a really strong pace at the bottom and I think certainly some of the guys paid for the effort of yesterday and also paid for the attacks of earlier on the day."
Froome lost some seconds on Astana's Fabio Aru but doesn't consider the Italian an immediate threat to his overall lead.
"Fabio (Aru) is one of the GC guys, but he's still over five minutes on the general classification. So for us he was not a real threat for the overall title, so I think it was more of a fight for the top five."
Gaining time on Nibali after having lost seconds on Wednesday, gives Froome confidence ahead of the stages to come.
"That feels great, especially after the difficult day of yesterday. It's good to bounce back again and as I said yesterday, the morale is still good and the team is still strong and I'm looking forward to getting through these last couple days."

Elizabeth Warren's American Story: Joan Walsh, plus Jeet Heer on Joe Biden and Andrew Bacevich on Mideast Wars
Campaigning in Iowa, Elizabeth Warren has made her story an American story, Joan Walsh says, and thereby found a good way to connect her policy proposals to her own life, and thereby to other people's lives–and also to refute critics who say she's an out-of-touch policy wonk.
Also: Joe Biden and his friends: he says some of them were segregationist senators – and he thinks that was a good thing, something that made it possible for him to pass important legislation. Jeet Heer says that's a fantasy—Republicans are not going to work with Biden if he gets the nomination and defeats Trump. Jeet is a new National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation.
Plus: Recently Andrew Basevitch visited the Middle East Conflicts Memorial – it's like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but for all the Americans who fought and died in all of America's wars in the Mideast. But unlike the Vietnam Memorial and the World War II Memorial, it's not on the National Mall in Washington DC; instead, it's in Marseilles, Illinois. That says a lot about the place of our unending mideast wars in our current political debates. 6-26-19

The Gospel (Arabic: Injil) was the divine scripture revealed to the Prophet Jesus. In this post we will look briefly at this Scripture:
The word Injil means glad tidings.
When mentioned in an Islamic context, the gospel refers to the scripture given directly to the Prophet Jesus.
The gospel is considered an extension of the Torah with some amendments and abrogations in laws. God says in the Quran about Jesus, "I have come to confirm the truth of the Torah which preceded me, and to make some things lawful to you which used to be forbidden." [3:50]
As the Gospel follows on from the Torah, much of what God ascribes in the Quran to the Torah also corresponds to the Gospel. This includes mention of the Messenger Muhammad and the description of his disciples.
God mentions in the Quran that the Prophet Jesus spoke of the coming of the Messenger Muhammad, "Jesus, son of Mary, said, 'Children of Israel, I am sent to you by God, confirming the Torah that came before me and bringing good news of a messenger to follow me whose name will be Ahmad.'" [61:6] Ahmad was one of the names of the Messenger Muhammad.
Both the Torah and the Gospel no longer exist in their original form. Over time, the originals have been lost and the present versions have been changed from the original texts. The Quran also supersedes all scriptures that came before it. Therefore, what the Quran confirms from the present versions of the Torah and Gospel, we accept and what it contradicts we reject. The Quran has been preserved and safeguarded against such corruptions.


Cheap Fixer in a Great Neighborhood!
What's Wrong With It: Everything is seventies vintage. The property seems physically solid, but it's not pretty right now. Needs new paint, new carpet, and some other minor updating.
Why It Hasn't Sold: Most folks won't look beyond how it looks now to how it could look with not very much expense.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: People who need a turn key property.
Selling Points: Decent size back yard and family room. Walk across the street to get to elementary school, two blocks for middle school and three for high school - and all three are sought after schools. DIning room looks out into front garden.
Who Should be Interested: People looking for a place where a little bit of sweat will build a lot of equity.
Why it's a Bargain: Cheapest house in a good neighborhood, and what needs to be done won't take that much.
What I think I can get it for: $305,000.
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $305,000 the property would be worth approximately $500,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $230,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $1800 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $200,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
Beautiful House, Country Feel, City Close!
What's Wrong With It: Dividers between kitchen, living room and dining room. You get some traffic noise outside. Facade needs paint.
Why It Hasn't Sold: It's in a small hidden neighborhood.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: Fixers and Flippers, because there's really not much left to do.
Selling Points: There's lots of trees on the street, and it has a good view. Large lot with back yard deck and garden - perfect for parties. Detached two car garage, semi-circular driveway with enough room for at least four cars. Inside is beautiful, too. Hardwood floors and lots of light!
Who Should be Interested: This would be a great place to live! Good schools for families!
Why it's a Bargain: I would expect a property like this to have an asking price at least forty thousand dollars higher.
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $410,000 the property would be worth approximately $670,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $320,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2100 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $220,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
What's Wrong With It: All the surfaces are old, and it needs refurbishing. Floor plan has dividers it doesn't need.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: People who can't handle stairs.
Selling Points: Nice large back yard, lots of storage underneath the house. Has great views of the neighborhood, and sits in an excellent school district.
Who Should be Interested: Anybody looking to buy into a great neighborhood at a bargain price!
Why it's a Bargain: Everything around it is much more expensive. There's nothing cheaper in the neighborhood!
What I think I can get it for: $320,000.
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $320,000 the property would be worth approximately $530,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $250,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2200 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $280,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
Solid Lender Owned Property in Great Neighborhood!
What's Wrong With It: The color of the kitchen cabinets has to be seen to be believed. The cooking equipment is basically original 1960. Neither bathroom has been updated since at least 1975, and the floors need to be polished and sealed.
Why It Hasn't Sold: Those kitchen cabinets are the unforgivable sin for most.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: Somebody who has to have it beautiful immediately.
Selling Points: All of the rooms have really good light, the living room especially. Everything is solid and even the stuff that needs to be updated is very livable as it sits. The back yard has plenty of room and an excellent view. The neighborhood is solid and desirable. The schools are excellent.
Who Should be Interested: Mostly, people willing to deal with surface cosmetic issues - the kitchen cabinets would be the hardest.
Why it's a Bargain: Priced aggressively to sell, $30000-$40000 below less desirable properties in the same neighborhood.
What I think I can get it for: $360,000.
Monthly Payment examples: I've currently got a thirty year fixed rate loan available for qualified buyers at 5.875% with one point, or 100% Thirty year fixed VA financing at 5.875% for the same cost.
With 20% down: Fully amortized payment of $1703 (APR 6.027).
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $360,000 the property would be worth approximately $580,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $280,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2000 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $250,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
Cheap Lender Owned Remodeler's Project in Great Neighborhood!
What's Wrong With It: Yards are down to bare soil - need sod. Pool in backyard needs refinishing. Kitchen has been torn apart, and is not currently usable. Everything in the property is thirty years old, at least.
Why It Hasn't Sold: Currently unsightly, to say the least. Also, it may be an issue getting a conventional residential loan before the kitchen is fixed.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: Anyone who wants a turnkey place to live in. If you live in it, you're going to have to "rough it" for a while.
Selling Points: Good light, seems basically solid structurally.
Who Should be Interested: People willing to but some sweat into the property that will be repaid when it's finished.
Why it's a Bargain: Lender owned, and most people can't see that the property is in a state you'd have to take it to in order to remodel.
What I think I can get it for: $270,000.
Monthly Payment examples: I'm going to leave those off, this time, because we might not be able to get a residential loan at first.
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $270,000 the property would be worth approximately $440,000.
Lender Owned Beautiful Comfortable Family Home Close to Everything!
What's Wrong With It: Gets some traffic noise, and the garage was converted to the 3rd bedroom.
Why It Hasn't Sold: People aren't looking for this kind of property in this area.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: Someone looking for a quick profit. This is not a flipper house.
Selling Points: Hardwood floors in the main part of the house, tile in the newer part. Kitchen is recently remodeled. Living room is original mid-century, but family room with lots of open light is a more recent addition. Back yard is lush and green.
Who Should be Interested: People looking for a good place to live at a reasonable price. This is a neighborhood that's starting to come up.
Why it's a Bargain: Lender owned, and the work has been done.
What I think I can get it for: $370,000.
With 20% down: Fully amortized payment of $1727 (APR 5.900).
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $370,000 the property would be worth approximately $600,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $290,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $1700 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $170,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
Great Entertainment Property - Partial Fixer in Highly Desired Area!
What's Wrong With It: Outside needs paint. One door needs replacing, as does carpet in both bedrooms. Some tile needs repair. One bathroom is straight out of 1965.
Why It Hasn't Sold: Most people can't see past what it needs to what it's got.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: It is going to take some work for most folks to be happy here.
Selling Points: Combination living room family room with great light and great visibility. Kitchen is freshly redone, and the front bathroom is in attractive as well. Outside has sparkling pool and nice brick courtyard for outdoor gatherings, and a large lot with plenty of room left to do whatever you like. Lots of parking in front of the house, and everything you see around it is more expensive, some of it much more expensive.
Who Should be Interested: This is what opportunity looks like, whether for a fix up profit or for a place to live for ever and ever.
Why it's a Bargain: Worst house in the best neighborhood is the classic recipe for bargains and it's not that bad.
What I think I can get it for: $375,000.
With 20% down: Fully amortized payment of $1751 (APR 5.899).
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $375,000 the property would be worth approximately $610,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $300,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2100 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $260,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
Nicely Maintained Property on Quiet Street!
What's Wrong With It: Living room is on the small side, and kitchen layout is a little unusual.
Why It Hasn't Sold: It was placed on the market over-priced. Now that they've cut the price, people aren't interested because it's been on the market too long.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: That's a good question. I can't think of anyone who couldn't be happy here.
Selling Points: Wrap around side to back yard that's pretty much all usable, with a decent view. Nice light throughout. Extra room would be a good office, and might even be a legal fifth bedroom. Everything is clean and well-maintained.
Who Should be Interested: Nice house at a reasonable price on a quiet street in a desirable neighborhood with above average public schools. What's not to like?.
Why it's a Bargain: As I said, the owners basically shot themselves in the foot by over-pricing it initially. Once buyers have decided they're not interested, it's hard to get them back.
With 20% down: Fully amortized payment of $1914 (APR 5.894).
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $410,000 the property would be worth approximately $660,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $320,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2100 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $250,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.
What's Wrong With It: The kitchen cabinets were left untouched in a recent remodel. Hardwood floors need resealing. I'm pretty certain the upstairs room was done without permits.
Why It Hasn't Sold: They're trying to sell it as something it's not.
Who it's Not Appropriate For: Someone not willing to take the risk of unpermitted additions.
Selling Points: Decent sized back yard, split into two terraces, either one of which could fit a small pool. Living room an kitchen have great light, and the kitchen floor and counters are new. Hardwood floors through most of the ground level, with travertine in kitchen. Very quiet neighborhood, but still walking distance to shopping. Great Schools.
Why it's a Bargain: There really isn't much that really needs doing, and the property appears to be in good shape. Assuming the addition is unpermitted, I think it would be fairly easy to bring it to code and get it permitted.
With 20% down: Fully amortized payment of $1681 (APR 5.901).
Investment potential: If you keep it ten years and it averages only 5% annual average appreciation per year: Based upon a purchase price of $360,000 the property would be worth approximately $590,000. If you held it those ten years before selling, you would net about $290,000 in your pocket (not including increased value from updates!), assuming zero down payment. As opposed to renting the $2000 per month most comparable currently available rental and investing the difference at 10% per year tax free, you would be approximately $250,000 ahead of the renter, after the expenses of selling.

The rightward march of Pakistan under the leadership of PML-N – by Nadeem Paracha
posted by Abdul Nishapuri | February 27, 2010 | In Original Articles
The active emergence of a revamped PML-N supplemented by an alarmist new electronic media can be detected as a more vocal arrival of the New Right in Pakistan.
The rightward march
By Nadeem F. Paracha
Saturday, 27 Feb, 2010
It was called the 'New Left.' Emerging in Britain in the 1950s, the New Left was the left's disparaging response to the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism mainly symbolised by so-called 'Stalinism'. The New Left revisited Marxist doctrines and attempted to bring them more in line with concepts like liberal democracy.
The New Left criticised both western capitalism and Soviet communism and attempted to put forward a more non-dogmatic and democracy-friendly version of Marxism. By the 1960s, it was ideologically informing the evolution of the various leftist movements that began taking shape around the world.
The New Left thinking also contributed to the various contemporary socialist experiments taking place in the Muslim world at the time, where certain leaders and political organs attempted to cut through Marxist dogma and capitalist whiplash by fusing nationalism and the more egalitarian notions of Islam with socialist economics. By the early 1970s, the New Left had begun to influence conventional social-democracy in Europe as well, where leftist parties emerged without any ideological strings attached to the Soviet Union.
However, the oil crisis, brought on by Egypt and Syria's war against Israel in 1973, triggered a serious economic downturn in the West. It also began generating a gradual reaction against the New Left politics and economics. Consequently a number of economists emerged who severely critiqued social-democracy, socialism and the concept of the welfare state.
By the early 1980s, this tendency was referred to as the 'New Right' and its early political and economic manifestations were defined by the Ronald Reagan presidency in the US and Margrate Thatcher's rule in the UK. The New Right forwarded an aggressive mixing of free market economy, religion, patriotism and a militarist foreign policy, a tendency which, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, peaked in the shape of neo-conservatism during George W. Bush's administration (2001-2008).
In Pakistan, the New Left's frontline expressions were the students' movement against Ayub Khan in the 1960s and the populist emergence of social-democratic parties such as the PPP. However, interestingly, just as the New Left was being wiped out in the West by the New Right in the 1980s, in Pakistan it was the old right (i.e. conventional religious parties in cahoots with a politicised military) that did the trick.
But, alas, the New Right in Pakistan seems to finally be coming of age. Because if the collapse of the country's last military dictatorship and the constant drubbing the conventional religious parties have faced in various elections can be seen as the withering away of the old right in Pakistan, then the active emergence of a revamped PML-N supplemented by an alarmist new electronic media can be detected as a more vocal arrival of the New Right in Pakistan.
Couple these happenings with a vigilante-like nature of a new-born 'judicial activism' exhibited by a current strand of top judges and lawyers, and the impulsive support it is getting from PML-N, the electronic media and small right-wing organs like the Jamaat-i-Islami and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf, one can then suggest that a somewhat instinctive move is afoot to challenge the large remnants of both the old and new Left in Pakistan. These include social democratic parties like the PPP, the ANP and secular bourgeois parties such as the MQM.
Boiling within the mix of the New Right politics and sociology in Pakistan are also characters operating as televangelists, 'security analysts' and TV journalists. In appearance and content they are consciously avoiding the persona of the greying guard of the old right, and attempting instead to sound and look a lot more contemporary.
They have gone on to use an intriguing combination of the economic and aesthetic dynamics of consumerism, free-market enterprise and media-centric imagery to forward a fusion of social piety, a neo-Maududi'ist take on political Islam, a plethora of conspiracy theories and demagogic (left-meets-right) oratory. Barring the PML-N, much of the New Right in the country is rather ambiguous about its views on democracy.
It is equally ambiguous about its stand on matters such as terrorism and extremism. It claims to condemn it, but is more likely to put the blame on American foreign policy and then return to its ambiguous disposition when questioned about the long involvement of Pakistan's own intelligence agencies and past policies in the matter.
Whereas the top tier of the Pakistani New Right (PML-N and certain senior TV anchors) are merging lofty political notions such as constitutionalism and accountability with vigilante-type 'judicial activism,' the second tier, mainly made up of small rightist political parties and a new breed of TV preachers and personalities, are (for want of a better word) glamorising retro-Maududi'ist and Tableeghi notions of 'Islamic society' by encouraging a neo-conservative reading and practice of religious texts, history and ritualism.
More dangerously though, undaunted by the obvious failure of political Islam in the Muslim world, the country's New Right is trying to rekindle it and that too at a time when various Islamic reformist movements the world over are consciously trying to detach Islam from the political moorings it was convolutedly given in the 20th century by men like Maududi and Syed Qutb. Moorings that may have played a major role in plunging many Muslim countries in the state of cultural stagnation and political turmoil they are in today.

Trial by fire: mass notification in a unique integration
Blog , Mass Notifications
Education Emergency Notification System Mass Notification System School Safety
No matter how long ago you went to college, you'll remember the hustle and bustle: students everywhere, coming and going from the seemingly dozens of things happening at once.
Now imagine you're running a college, dealing with that chaos on a day-to-day basis, when the unthinkable happens… You receive a call that says a fire has broken out in the brush-covered hills nearby.
That's exactly what happened at California State University's San Marcos campus on May 14, 2014. Heat was in the triple digits and the wind was strong—the worst possible combination for wildfires—when the San Diego County school's emergency operations center received the call.
This was definitely not a drill. CSUSM's 13,000 students and 2,000 faculty and staff had to be alerted and evacuated quickly, and families and the community needed to be notified ASAP.
Enter emergency notification from MIR3.
Some years earlier, CSUSM emergency manager Robert Williams had a vision of a notification system that could not only alert people across the sprawling campus (more than 20 buildings across 300+ acres) but also reach students' families, students that were off campus and even members of the media and nearby community.
In evaluating existing solutions he found that while it was possible to do what he wanted, trying to do it in a conventional fashion would have been complicated and time-consuming.
He approached MIR3 about integrating mass notification in a way that would also activate the other alerting mechanisms on campus, like speakers, digital signage, computer alerts and even door-locking mechanisms. Working together, Williams and the MIR3 team found a way to integrate CSUSM's system, known as AlertU, and Intelligent Notification.
"AlertU system worked exactly as expected," Williams says. "Over 33,000 emails, 25,000 phone calls, and 11,000 texts were delivered within five minutes, and an orderly and complete evacuation ensued."
The fire eventually burned its way to the back door of the campus, consuming nearly 2,000 acres and leveling 36 homes and one business—but the students, faculty, staff and community were safe.

FILTER 48: Getting to Know: Of Monsters and Men
By Mike Hilleary; photo by David Gallardo on June 28, 2012
On the roof of the Williamsburg Music Hall in Brooklyn, Of Monsters and Men bandleaders Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar "Raggi" þórhallsson are experiencing a brief and much deserved respite from the madness going on in the venue below.
Tonight the band is playing the first of two shows slated to take place in New York City. While tomorrow's gig at Webster Hall boasts a larger in-house attendance, this evening's more intimate setting is being made entirely less so by a team of audiovisual professionals who are prepping elaborate lights, scaffolding and HD cameras to film and live-stream the performance on YouTube.
Wearing bright pink Doc Martens knock-offs, leggings and a favored jumper, Hilmarsdóttir already looks fit for the looming broadcast, parting her long, dark hair so that it falls to one side and an Annie Hall–sized hat on her head. þórhallsson, meanwhile, dressed in a simple plaid shirt and jeans, is a charming and welcome reminder that the industry doesn't have to be dominated by rail-thin frontmen.
With 30 minutes to spare before soundcheck, Hilmarsdóttir and þórhallsson confess the speed of recent events has offered little in the way of genuine reflection. For the past two-and-a-half weeks, Hilmarsdóttir, þórhallsson and the rest of their Icelandic six-piece band have been engaged in a sleep-deprived schedule, playing sold-out performances of their anthem-raising folk-rock since arriving in Austin for SXSW. A remarkable feat for any burgeoning musical act, the achievement becomes all the more impressive when you realize the group has never previously toured North America and are just days into the release of their debut album, My Head Is an Animal.
"Musicians we know in Iceland have told us that the first time they went to America to play, there was no one there to see them," says þórhallsson. "It'd be three guys: the bar drunk and two others that the artist or band just gave tickets to on their own."
Before they began bucking the trend that beset so many of their musically inclined countrymen, Hilmarsdóttir and þórhallsson met four years ago in the Iceland capital of Reykjavík when Hilmarsdóttir began dating þórhallsson's best friend (the two are still together). Already playing acoustic singer-songwriter-style songs under the moniker Songbird with guitarist Brynjar Leifsson, Hilmarsdóttir began working on much bigger sounding material with órhallsson, who had brought along his own group of friends, drummer Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson, piano/accordion player Árni Gujónsson and bassist Kristján Páll Kristjánsson. "It's much more fun to share the stage with someone," says Hilmarsdóttir, poking fun at her own instinctual shyness. "It's pretty hard to stand up there alone. I wanted to share my pain with someone."
Two weeks after making the assembled line-up an official musical undertaking, Of Monsters and Men entered the 2010 Músíktilraunir, a nationwide Icelandic battle-of-the-bands competition. Not just making an impression but winning the contest outright, the band was awarded studio time to cut the first version of "Little Talks," a trumpet blasting piece of pop that has become the group's biggest hit.
As the song jumped from Iceland's airwaves to U.S. stations such as WRFF Philadelphia and Seattle's KEXP, Hilmarsdóttir, þórhallsson and the rest of the band blitzed through a three-day-long stint of studio time last March to record the foundation of their full-length debut. Fine-tuning instrumentation and vocals in later late-night sessions when they were able, the album saw release in Iceland in September of last year.
Filled with acoustically picked guitar riffs, horn and accordion fills, harmonized vocals and the occasional "la-la" sing-along chorus, My Head Is an Animal embraces the romanticism of the grandiose and the tension of a gradual build. As its namesake would suggest, the LP is filled with the referential imagery of wildlife; from wolves, tigers and birds to howling beasts and monstrous creatures. Like little fables, the storytelling technique tends to conceal more personal sources of inspiration. The standout track "King and Lionheart" holds particular attachment for Hilmarsdóttir. While her mother still lives in Iceland, her brother and remarried father take up residence in Canada. "I was really missing my little brother," says Hilmarsdóttir. "That song came out of that. It's about him. He's a character. He's the king and I'm the lionheart. It sucks to have him so far away, missing out on him growing up. So this is kind of a world we can share together in a song."
Other songs seemed to have obtained their true value over time, such as "From Finner," which tells the tale of a whale that roams the seas with a house on its back. Centered around the chorus "And we are far, far from home, but we're so happy / Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy," Hilmarsdóttir says it's recently taken on a new context. "I've been thinking about it lately because we're out here doing this and touring away from everyone but we're still having a great time," she says. "It didn't really seem to have any specific meaning at the time [when we wrote it]. It was just fun with story. Here it has a meaning." F

Q: How do I manipulate variable names based on the calling (Button) sender (button #) calling the method? I have a bunch of text boxes in a panel on my C# Winform.  Each row of text boxes are named like this:

tb1    tbNickName1   comboBox1 tb2    tbNickName2   comboBox2
  tb3    tbNickName3   comboBox3

and so on.
I have a button next to each of the rows of text boxes.  But instead of having the button point to a different event for each button, I want to point the button to just the button1_Click event and have it do all of the processing there.  I know how to do this and all my buttons point to the button1_Click event.
But I need to be able to determine which button it was called from (which I am able to do), but I need to manipulate the name of the text boxes in the event so I can do the processing based on what row I am in/button that I am calling from.
For example, if I am in row number 2 where the tb2    tbNickName2   comboBox2 textboxes are, then I need to be able to have the button1_Click event know this and automatically assign the tb2    tbNickName2   comboBox2 values to the tmp variables that I use in the example below.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       Button bt = (Button) sender; //will return 'button1'

       string tmpEmail = null;
       string tmpNickName = null;
       string tmpGroup = null;

       //I don't want to hard code the tb1.Text value here, I want to have
       // the namechange based on which (Button) sender it was called from.

       // For example button1 should assign all the
       // tb1    tbNickName1   comboBox1 values

       //If called from button2, then it should assign the
       //tb2    tbNickName2   comboBox2 values instead

       //How can I do this so tb1.Text is based off of the button # that I am
       //calling for example tb(bt).Text would be cool but that does not work.

       tmpEmail = tb1.Text; //What do I change tb1.Text to based on button #?

       tmpNickName = tbNickName1.Text; //What do I change tbNickName1.Text to?

       tmpGroup = comboBox1.Text;//What do I change comboBox1.Text to?
}

I know that I have not explained this very well, but it is the best I can do.

A: You can do something like this (iterating over the controls in the panel) :
   //Get the number of the button control (last digit of the name)
   string strNum = bt.Name.Substring(bt.Name.Lenght -2);
   foreach(Control ctrl in myPanel.Controls)
    {
        if(ctrl is ComboBox) {
           if(ctrl.Name.EndsWith(strNum)) {
             //Do Something with your found ComboBox ...
            }
         }
    }

Code not tested but should give you an idea ...

A: Button button = sender as Button;
string buttonIndex = button.Name.Substring(6);
string tempEmail = (this.Controls["tb" + buttonIndex] as TextBox).Text;
string tmpNickName = (this.Controls["tbNickName" + buttonIndex] as TextBox).Text;
string tmpGroup = (this.Controls["comboBox" + buttonIndex] as ComboBox).Text;

A: On the buttons, you add the CommandArgument-Property which could look something like this
bt1.CommandArgument = "1";
bt2.CommandArgument = "2";

In your EventHandler, you read the CommandArgument and act accordingly
 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button bt = (Button) sender;
        if(bt.CommandArgument == "1") {
            // bt1 was clicked, handle stuff accordingly
        } else if(bt.CommandArgument == "2") {
            // bt2 was clicked..
        } else {
            //handle rest of possible cases
        }
    }

It's only pseudo code but I think you can see where this is going. However keep in mind, that your variable-naming is far from optimal. Chose names for your variables and controls that give you any kind of information instead of just naming them with numbers. That would help you a lot if you take a look at the code at a later time and try to understand it. Just like this, try to find meaningful CommanArgument-values, too.

A: First off, for your own, ours, and anyone else ever looking at your codes sake, change your naming convention.
As for a solution, I would suggest putting references to your checkboxes and text boxes into a dictionary when you construct them. Make the buttons contain the key you used in their CommandArgument. Now you can retreive the row by accessing the dictionary.
For instance, in your constructor, you'd add something like this
_rowDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Row> {
    { "identifier of first line", new Row { descriptiveNameOfFirstTextBox, descriptiveNameOfFirstTextBox, descriptiveNameOfButton } },
    // ...
};
descriptiveNameOfButton.CommandArgument = "identifier of first line";

Then, in your event handler
Button senderButton = (Button) sender;
Row r = _rowDictionary[senderButton.CommandArgument];

Here, I've used some container class Row. You may of may not need it
class Row {
    TextBox textBoxForInputOfA { get; set; }
    TextBox textBoxForInputOfB { get; set; }
    Button buttonForDoingWhatItDoes { get; set; }
}

Ransomware Attacks 'Global Epidemic', Says Europol
An "epidemic" has erupted in global ransomware attacks, taking over computers as well as internet-linked devices like routers and CCTV cameras to turn them into tools for criminals, Europe's police agency said Wednesday.
"Ransomware attacks have eclipsed most other global cybercrime threats, with the first half of 2017 witnessing ransomware attacks on a scale previously unseen," Europol said, as it released its latest annual report on internet organised crime.
This included the WannaCry ransomware attack in May, believed to have rapidly infected as many as 300,000 targets in 150 countries including some high-profile ones such as Britain's National Health Service, Spanish telecoms company Telefonica, and logistics company Fed-Ex.
"The global impact of huge cyber security events such as the WannaCry ransomware epidemic has taken the threat from cybercrime to another level," Europol's chief Rob Wainwright said.
"Banks and other major businesses are now targeted on a scale not seen before," he said at the launch of the 80-page report.
At the same time, late 2016 saw the first "massive attacks" on insecure devices connected to the so-called internet of things.
In one case the notorious Mirai malware hacked into about 150,000 internet-linked devices like cellphones, routers, printers and security cameras to mount a "complex… sophisticated" attack.
The malware transformed them into botnets capable of launching a so-called distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, Europol said.
They were responsible for a number of high profile attacks, including one which severely disrupted internet infrastructure on the West Coast of the United States.
Europol warned that the "collective response to cyber-criminals is still not good enough."
"In particular people and companies everywhere must do more to better protect themselves," it said.
The report also said that last year saw an unprecedented increase in data breaches with vast amounts of data being stolen, including over two billion records related to EU citizens reportedly leaked over a 12-month period.
European safety commissioner Julian King said Europol's latest report "shows online crime is the new frontier of law enforcement."
"We've all seen the impact of events like WannaCry. Whether attacks are carried out for financial or political reasons, we need to improve our resilience," King said.

Five prizes up for grabs at the 2019 WAF Awards
A cultural centre, a water tower and a psychiatric clinic designed by White have been shortlisted in four categories in the 2019 edition of the WAF Award. In addition, White Tengbom Team - which includes White - has been shortlisted for the New Karolinska Solna hospital project.
Psychiatric clininc in Nuuk – Health (future)
The new clinic at Dronning Ingrid's Hospital in the Greenlandic captial Nuuk is designed based on the principles of healing architecture. It strikes the perfect balance between a calm, healing and trustworthy atmosphere and the natural landscape and existing hospital facilities. Echoing the materials and colours of Nuuk, the architecture cuts an instantly recognisable figure from both near and afar.
The GoDown Arts Centre – Culture (future)
The centre is the city's – and the country's – first incubator for artists and those working in the creative industries. Now it is getting a new cultural centre and meeting place, developed by White in collaboration with local partners. Workshops, seminars and studies with stakeholder ensure the project's relevance and local ownership. The new centre also plays in part in the revitalisation of Nairobi's Industrial Area.
Våga water tower – Infrastructure (future) and Competition entries
Water towers are traditionally round and vertical, but White turned tradition on its head by creating a structure that stretches out across the flat landscape. The elongated shape for a water tower is unique in this context and gives Varberg a new strong symbol for the city, an icon building and landmark.
New Karolinska Solna – Health (completed)
White Tengbom Team, a project-specific company in which White and Tengbom joined forces, designed one of Sweden's largest ever healthcare projects. The world-class biomedical facility is designed to put Stockholm at the forefront of healthcare innovation. Over a decade of evidence-based research into the positive impact of daylight, natural materials, views out and use of space on patient wellbeing, have culminated in a building that wholly focuses on recovery.
The winners will be announced during the World Architecture Festival, which takes place in Amsterdam December 4-6.

7 political factions are scrambling for power with Democrats and Republicans deeply divided
by Gordon Weil, Opinion contributor October 16, 2021 October 16, 2021

You can't tell the players without a scorecard.
That's not about the World Series. It's about American politics today.
Conventional wisdom identifies two major political parties and a few minor ones. But the current struggles over Biden's Build Back Better reveal that the Democrats and Republicans have morphed into seven distinct parties, each with its own agenda.
The rise of these parties results from the deep and bitter divisions between the two major parties and their nearly equal split. That means a party spinoff may be able to determine the ultimate decisions. Each spinoff becomes its own party. Here's the political scorecard.
The Biden administration and Trump in Exile are the two presidential parties. Joe Biden wants to stay in power and reverse Trumpism. Donald Trump seeks a comeback to restore his policies and reverse Biden's big government efforts before they take root.
As president, Trump rejected the domestic and foreign policies that had evolved since World War II, often with the support of members of both parties. Trumpism is based on a radical reduction in government involvement in the economy and environment plus "America First" in foreign policy.
Trump showed little interest in protecting minorities and upholding the American political tradition. While he could exercise strong leadership, it was chaotic and destructive. His election appeal yielded him control of the Republican Party. Trump's fans: 30 states, mostly small plus Texas and Florida.
Biden has chosen the exact opposite approach. Less forceful than Trump but equally determined and better informed, he has proposed major federal spending on programs to quickly produce tangible benefits.
His obvious goal is to influence the 2022 congressional elections, strengthening the Democrats' ability to block a Trump revival. Biden's fans: 20 large coastal states with a popular majority.
Despite the growth of presidential power, Biden and Trump each need backing from enough members of Congress to promote and protect their policies. Biden's program depends on unified congressional Democrats, which he does not have. Trump's future depends on a unified GOP, which he does not have.
Biden's proposals, priced originally at about $6 trillion, provide the setting for the five congressional parties to test their strength. Two are Republican and three are Democratic. They range from right to left across the political spectrum.
Trump Republicans are on the extreme right. In both houses of Congress, they are usually the majority of the Republicans. As the GOP, they want less government and, as Trumpers, they are unquestioningly loyal to their leader, thanks to his surefire vote-getting appeal.
Because the Republicans have signed on with Trump, their leaders in Congress — Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Kevin McCarthy — head this party. Its policy is simply to block Biden, which it often can, so long as the filibuster survives. Their fans: Trump's states.
Traditional Republicans come next. They are politically conservative but not aligned with Trump. They are a small group in the House of Representatives and a sometimes invisible group in the Senate. They control little, but seek to keep alive the causes of political conservatism and compromise.
This party's leader is Rep. Liz Cheney, the Wyoming Republican who defies McCarthy's demands for Trump loyalty. Cheney boldly resists, while Maine Sen. Susan Collins, an occasional member, desists in the face of Trumpism. Their fans: so far, only a handful of House districts.
Moderate Democrats come next on the right-left spectrum. They are led by Sen. Joe Manchin and include Maine Rep. Jared Golden. They believe they can bring GOP voters aboard in 2022. If they won't give some ground, they could fatally undermine Biden's hopes. Chances are they won't block a deal. Their fans: GOP-leaning states and districts.
Traditional Democrats are headed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who maneuvers to gain help from other Democrats to control the House. In the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaker and the Moderates, Senate Leader Chuck Schumer has a majority but can't overcome a GOP filibuster. They back Biden. Their fans: Urban, coastal states.
Democratic Socialists, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, are on the extreme left. They support broad reforms and have some Biden support. They can block a House Democratic majority. Their opponent is really the Moderates. They want Biden to accept them as essential to their party's future success. Their fans: Some urban areas.
Despite this scorecard, this is not a game. To avoid complete political paralysis, there must be a compromise. While the GOP may be involved in an historic internal war, the Democrats are likely to reach an agreement among themselves. Biden will settle for what he can get.
Ultimately, these parties are all about Trump. The Democratic parties seek ways to achieve a big win over Trump, while the GOP mostly continue to rally around his blue banner.

Environmental Health Popcorn Lawsuits and a Weak Regulatory System
September 10, 2008 The Pump Handle 3Comment
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Andrew Schneider reports on another lawsuit from a consumer who says his lungs have been damaged by years of microwave popcorn consumption. The most famous microwave-popcorn consumer, Wayne Watson of Denver, filed suit earlier this year. Watson drew national attention after he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans, a disease previously found only in workers from plants that used the butter-flavoring chemical diacetyl. (The Pump Handle was the first to publicize the fact that a popcorn consumer had been diagnosed with the disease; check our diacetyl page for more.)
Schneider reports that Spokane businessman Larry Newkirk was in the habit of eating four to six bags of microwave popcorn each day; Newkirk's lawyer points out that the problem wasn't from the popcorn itself, but from the butter-flavored vapors released when a hot bag is opened. The companies named in the suit include ConAgra (whose spokesperson emphasized that the company has phased diacetyl out of its microwave popcorn); Shopko Stores, where Newkirk bought ConAgra's Act II popcorn; and companies that manufacture or have manufactured flavorings containing diacetyl.
There's some debate – certainly among Schneider's readers, and probably from lots of people reading about this case – about who should be sued. There's also a question of which government agency should have stepped in before so much lung damage occurred. This case demonstrates that our regulatory system is too weak and poorly integrated to respond to such threats effectively.
The first case of bronchiolitis obliterans in a popcorn worker was diagnosed in 1999, and the physician notified the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health investigated, identified diacetyl as the likely source of the problem, and recommended measures to reduce workers' diacetyl exposure, but they lacked the authority to require any action from employers. Despite pleas from sick workers and worker advocates over the next several years, OSHA, which did have authority, failed to take any meaningful action to protect workers from this hazard. It wasn't until Congress started making moves to require action from OSHA that the agency finally announced it would do something about diacetyl – but it turned out to be a case of too little, too late.
We would hope that, since microwave popcorn is a food product, the Food and Drug Administration would do something about it – but FDA has repeatedly refused to act on requests that they examine whether breathing diacetyl poses a risk to consumers.
There's also the argument that since the problem is the diacetyl fumes, not eating diacetyl, that this is an air quality issue and thus under the purview of the Environmental Protection Agency. It appears that some EPA scientists had the same thought, because in 2003, an agency newsletter announced that a study was underway on the chemicals released from popping bags of microwave popcorn. The agency refused requests to share the study's results before publication, despite the health implications and numerous delays in getting it published. The results were finally published in late 2007, and were much as expected: the chemicals present were similar to those used in popcorn factories, and emissions were strongest when the bag was open. This doesn't tell us anything about the health effects, but it does verify that popping microwave popcorn releases fumes that contain diacetyl and other substances.Â
Details about these agency (in)actions are available from our diacetyl case study and timeline at www.DefendingScience.org.
Schneider reports that Larry Newkirk stopped eating microwave popcorn in September 2007 after hearing about the link between diacetyl and lung disease, but he had a hard time getting his doctors to take him seriously. Finally, he saw Dr. Allen Parmet, who diagnosed and reported the first cases among popcorn workers, and learned that he had bronchiolitis obliterans. Schneider notes on his blog that most of the doctors who have diagnosed the disease believe there are many more existing cases that are being misdiagnosed.
The good news is that major microwave-popcorn manufacturers have removed diacetyl from their products, so future exposures will be reduced. Diacetyl is used in many other foods, too, though, and it's not clear that those uses will also be discontinued. And the problems with our regulatory system remain: federal agencies aren't always eager to address newly identified hazards, especially when it could plausibly be called someone else's problem.

You really do have to try hard to get an industrial level exposure though don't you?
Did his mother not teach him to cook real food?
The the thing that really seems to affect exposure is whether a person inhales the buttery smell while opening the bag straight out of the microwave – that's what Wayne Watson said he did.
And, yeah, I find it kind of alarming that someone's eating 4-6 bags of popcorn a day. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.
I was imagining something similar.
Still it's a nasty nasty disease to develop simply from enjoying the smell of something 'freshly' 'cooked'.

Ford will not cede the way forward for electrical automobiles to anybody: CEO Farley
Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley on Friday touted the automaker's strategy for electric vehicles and told CNBC that the company intends to compete strongly in the growing market.
Farley's comments on "Squawk on the Street" came a day after Ford reported better-than-expected earnings in the fourth quarter. As part of that announcement, Ford said it would increase its electric vehicle investment to $ 22 billion by 2025, almost double what it had previously promised.
Ford's shares rose 2.7% on Friday to around $ 11.70 apiece.
"We won't leave the future to anyone," Farley told CNBC's Phil LeBeau. "Our electric strategy is very specific. We will invest in segments where we are the dominant player and we have economies of scale like the F-150, the transit van and our Mustang."
As Ford provides new capital for the years to come, Farley said the company's EV transition is now yielding results, pointing out that its all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover has hit showrooms. He said he viewed the Mach-E as a "credible competitor" to Tesla's compact SUV known as the Model Y.
Ford's all-electric transit van is expected to arrive by the end of this year, Farley said, and the company's work on a Michigan plant to build the electric version of its best-selling F-150 is ongoing. "This is the year. We're not talking about aspirations," said Farley, who took over the business on October 1.
The charging connection for the Ford E-Transit is located in the radiator grille of the vehicle.
Wall Street's focus on electric vehicles has increased. A number of players in space, including battery manufacturers and charging station companies, have gone public in the past few months. Ford's Crosstown rival General Motors has also drawn street attention for its aggressive investments in electric vehicles. GM said last week it plans to cease production of all diesel and gasoline-powered cars, trucks and SUVs by 2035.
Before the announcement, Adam Jonas, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, told CNBC that GM, led by CEO Mary Barra, may be orchestrating "one of the most profound strategic turns not only in the auto industry, but also in the economy." GM stocks are up more than 100% in the past six months, while Ford's stocks are up more than 65% over the same stretch.
As the production and adoption of electric vehicles increases, some have raised concerns that there could be a battery shortage. Farley acknowledged that the company "needs to make sure when Ford ramp up EV manufacturing" [battery] Care so that we don't end up in a situation where we are in chips. "Ford had to temporarily cut F-150 production to respond to an ongoing semiconductor shortage affecting the global automotive industry.
"That will be due to each manufacturer making the commitment," Farley said. "We have to make our own decisions about vertical integration. Our $ 22 billion [EV investment] doesn't even include that. You could expect more news from us on this vertical integration. "
