Can the SCO Bring India and Pakistan Together?
With multilateral counterterrorism exercises, the SCO may help bridge the gap between Islamabad and New Delhi.
By Sabena Siddiqi for The Diplomat

Since Pakistan and India's formal induction into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) last year, the group now represents 40 percent of the world's population and almost 20 percent of its GDP. Bringing these two South Asian neighbors into the folds of the SCO in June 2017 initially gave rise to conjecture as to whether they could coexist. On a positive note, in the SCO the participation of all member states in its activities is mandatory so interaction and dialogue is unavoidable. Considering the tense relations between India and Pakistan, it should be interesting to see them participating in multilateral military exercises under the auspices of the SCO, as the memorandum of obligations makes joint military exercises compulsory.
The participation of both states seems to have been confirmed, as Indian and Pakistani representatives attended a meeting for military and defense officials from SCO members last month. Reviewing military activities from last year, decisions were made to further synchronize this year's multilateral counterterrorism exercises with improved security under the SCO framework. As confirmed by Pakistan's ambassador to Russia, Kazi Khalilullah, "I understand that the exercise 'Peace Mission-2018' is being conducted under the auspices of the SCO, Pakistan attaches importance to SCO events, and we took part in the first round of expert talks related to the exercises, which were held in Yekaterinburg in November 2017. We intend to participate in the exercises this year."
Held every two years, the Peace Mission counterterrorism exercises focus on combat readiness and coordination for any eventual joint counterterror operations. Participants take part in joint drills, training and information sharing.
Dwelling on the implications, Indian diplomat Phunchok Stobdan said, "The initiative will certainly bring greater confidence in military-to-military interface. Russia and China are also keen on bringing India and Pakistan together. India and Pakistan have jointly worked together under the United Nations, but this will be the first time in a smaller group as far as joint military exercises are concerned."
Agreeing to uphold the maxims of the "Shanghai Spirit," defense ministries and armed forces of all the SCO member nations continue to adhere to the same rules as announced on June 15, 2001 when the organization was created by founder members China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan as a Eurasian political, economic, and military organization. Engagement, interaction, and dialogue will continue throughout the year. An event by the name of "Fanfare for Peace Military Tattoo" will be held, followed by a meeting for defense ministers from all the SCO countries, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry. It is expected that these measures would further enhance defense coordination, internal solidarity and integration of the group. Apart from exercises like "Peace Mission 2018," India and Pakistan are now also part of the Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure (RATS) based in Tashkent under the SCO. Under this arrangement both member states have to agree to exchange information and combat terrorism under its auspices.
Meena Singh Roy from the Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses in Delhi explained that RATS "organizes regular meetings of border agencies to discuss effective means to tackle the existing challenges. It has prevented 600 terrorist attacks. Last year, 400 terrorists were arrested and more than 100 extradited. Over 900 anti-terrorist personnel have been trained till 2014."
The SCO platform encourages multilateral cooperation in trade, energy, education, and tourism as well. Widening the ambit further, China has also proposed that a treaty be signed by members for legally dealing with issues such as separatism, extremism, cybersecurity, and drug control at the 12th session of SCO Security Council secretaries in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Establishing a lasting mechanism of communication between India and Pakistan would be no mean feat, as the bilateral relationship goes through extreme highs and lows. Often seen as a regional power-group of nations, SCO still has to prove its effectiveness beyond the inner circle of China, Russia, and Central Asian countries. Bringing together India and Pakistan may not be a litmus test, but it goes a long way toward establishing the SCO as a powerful platform.
Optimistically, Alexander Lukin, director of the Center for East Asian and SCO Studies at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, feels that the SCO "will provide a new and important platform for India-Pakistan dialogue." Having successfully helped China, Russia, and the Central Asian republics ink agreements regarding deployment of their conventional forces on borders, the SCO could become an ideal confidence-building mechanism. Working together toward the same objectives on the same platform helps in removing mistrust and promotes dialogue on diverse matters. This multilateral cooperation could eventually pave the way for more bilateral interaction in trade and other fields for India and Pakistan.

The Scottish Apprenticeship Advisory Board's Defining an Apprenticeship was launched yesterday (20th November), in order to provide a clear and agreed definition of what an apprenticeship is in Scotland's skills system.
The full family of apprenticeships - Foundation, Modern and Graduate Level - is enabling greater flexibility and choice than ever before and providing learning and progression pathways that people can enter into at different life stages. Our consultation sets out the key principles we view as critical to the integrity of these apprenticeships in Scotland and the development of a system that works for employers and apprentices.
We need as much valuable feedback as possible to ensure we reach a collective view on what an apprenticeship is and that it meets future need. Therefore we would be grateful if you could please take the opportunity to contribute your views to the consultation by midnight on 20th December, which will be used to inform our policy recommendations to Scottish Government.
You can complete the consultation online here.
For further details please read our supporting information.
We look forward to sharing the feedback with you in the coming months.
Sent on behalf of the Scottish Apprenticeship Advisory Board, Frameworks and Standards Working Group on Defining an Apprenticeship.


Boys and girls can drop off their letters to Santa at the Ferndale Post Office for express delivery to Santa's Workshop at the North Pole. And they should not be too surprised if they get a response back.
A special mail box has been set up in the Post Office customer service lobby that is picked up every day and the contents sent straight to Santa. The big man himself says you need to put your letter in the box by December 22nd in order for him to mail a response in time for Christmas.
One important tip for making sure the big guy gets your letter and can respond is to make sure you neatly print your full name and address on the envelope. No postage is required because, after all, this is mail to Santa.

Thank you for your review. I hope to host always people nice and friendly as you. I hope to host you in the next future.
Loved this apartment which is so close to the Vatican and central Rome. We could walk, bus, or taxi (10 Euros) to most of the major sites. The apartment is nicely decorated, air conditioned, and the beds were comfortable. There are a number of nice cafe's just beyond the front door (one in particular that we loved and had a bottle of wine at every night). Can't recommend this place enough for your next trip to Rome.
What a great stay for two nights!
We really enjoyed the apartment in Rome. It had everything we needed and the host Emidio was very helpful giving us information about the apartment and the area. He gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood and gave us tips about where to eat and shop. We managed to find parking easily considering it was August.
The best gelato we found was just around the corner at Captain Cono....maybe the best of the entire trip. We also had dinner at a restaurant that was suggested on our last trip to Rome. This was our second time at this restaurant and we loved the authentic Abruzzese home cooking by the little Nonna in the back. La Cucina Abruzzese...Worth the trip and the prices were very reasonable.
Thank you for the review. I hope to host always people nice nice and friendly ad you. I hope to host you again in the next future.
We had a wonderful four nights in this apartment. It was very well presented, just the right size for our family and we were grateful for the air conditioning after the August heat. Emidio was very friendly and helpful: he took us on a quick tour of the local area to show us the nearby food shops, eating places and where to get the right bus. He also arranged transport for us from the airport and to the station which gave us a stress-free start and end to our stay and Rome. I would highly recommend staying here.
È stata una piacevole vacanza!
L'appartamento è comodo, pulito, i proprietari sono stati gentilissimi.

Q: What are some synonyms for 'euphemism'? A euphemism is a word used to replace another worse-sounding word. For example, 'pass away' for 'die', 'battle fatigue' for 'shell shock', 'PTSD' for 'battle fatigue', often a word created to replace a taboo word.
A dysphemism is a bit of the opposite, a synonym that sounds -worse- than the original, for example, 'boneyard' for 'graveyard'.
But there are other directions to take in creating synonyms. Medicalese tends to euphemize to make things palatable, but often there are medical synonyms where the process seems to be more obfuscation or obscurantism than a euphemism. For example, 'urinate' is a perfectly neutral technical term, but it is not uncommon to see or hear the (exact) synonym 'micturate'. Unless I am misreading, there is no euphemizing going on, just hiding through a more obscure word.
What would the process/describing word be for synonyms that are in another register, colloquial vs. formal (though naturally there is a lot of overlap here with euphemism/dysphemism)?
So what I am looking for are synonyms for euphemism, that go in different directions than just good/bad.

A: General synonyms could be circumlocution, substitute or alternative. If you want to give the impression that the replacement term is nicer than the original, you can use polite term, understatement, genteelism (my personal favorite). If you're going the other way, i.e. using a more unpleasant alternative, that would be a dysphemism (exact antonym of euphemism). Though I can't think of any simple synonym of dysphemism, you could be talking about the slang term for X, the harsher term for, the rude term for…

A: paranym, which is defined as

a word or words whose meaning is
  altered to conceal; an evasion; see
  euphemism
  (by Wordnik)

and

euphemism; word whose meaning altered
  to conceal evasion (by Phrontistery)

A: *

*circumlocution

*bowdlerism

*code word

*allusion

A: A restatement refers to anything without regard to good or bad. Does that count?

A: The best way to classify words along the lines you are considering is by connotation vs. denotation. For example, English provides a number of words for 'an olfactory experience': scent, fragrance, odor, perfume, smell, aroma, stench, etc. Ranking these words from positive to negative forms a continuum of synonyms.

Coming west from St. Moritz you come to Silvaplana and turn right towards Tiefencastel. This is a main highway and as such the road is wide with few tight bends – even the hairpins are broad and sweeping. On reaching the summit 470m higher than the start point the road tightens up a bit in three sections before reaching the village of Mulegns. The road down is very scenic running past Lago da Marmorela. From Mulegns the road gradually descends to Tiefencastel at 851m, where you can turn right towards the Albula Pass.


The rubber is used for car tires, elastic bands, pencil erasers, waterproof shoes, dishwasher hoses and many more. This is the super stretchy, and flexible material demanded in industrial usage as well as domestic usage. The natural rubber is used significantly to fulfill the daily requirements. Rubber is stretchy, strong, durable and waterproof material and thus recommended for making the boots and clothes. The automotive industries have a high demand for vehicle tires. The wheels of cars, bicycles, trucks made of using rubber that is black vulcanized outside and inner tubes.
The Tensile Tester for Rubber is widely used for evaluating the tensile strength of rubber and various other products. The tensile strength is the maximum stress a rubber material can withstand when stretched or pulled before complete damage. This is the most important property of any material including rubber.
The Tensile Tester for Rubber has a total capacity of 10,000 Kgf with 5 kg least count. The instrument is fabricated using heavy duty mild steel. There are two jaws for placing the sample in between. The rubber specimen is used to check the durability and stability by moving the lower jaw at the specified movement. The upper jaw is stationary and is connected with a special sensor, which is connected with a load cell, to judge the load exertion. The reading is displayed in digital format, measured as kilograms.
Rubber is the basic need, and its quality cannot be overlooked. A poor or inferior quality of the material can affect the end product. The tensile strength is an important property that evaluates the durability of the rubber, which is used for raincoats, electrical insulations, toys, adhesives, paints, and many more products. The rubber has significant use in tires, like radial automobile tires, has a high percentage of natural rubber. For the smooth uses of the rubber goods, the quality matters otherwise a big trouble is ahead for the manufacturers and suppliers who are overlooking the tensile strength.

This project undertakes the examination of several prominent Asian communities in Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and others in understanding the diverse intersection that is the Asian-Latino culture and identity. Within the United States, there is a growing community of Asian-Latinos that share both the cultural identities of the Hispanic/Latinx community (cultural environment) and the Asian communities (familial and cultural upbringing). Likewise, in U.S. cities such as New York City and Los Angeles, there have been notable Asian-Latino restaurants that offer Asian cuisine and Latin cuisine, as well as a rise of new Asian-Latin infused cuisines …

Honors Theses, 1963-2015
Japanese feminism directly impacts the social image of non-male sexuality in Japanese literature and pop-culture through highlighting gender roles, ingrained misogyny, and violence toward non-male oriented sex. This project will specifically focus on the power dynamics of sex in Japanese society through gender roles, female sexuality, and the rise of Japanese feminist movement. An observation of sexuality in Japan from such female works as The Apprenticeship of the Big Toe P and Snakes and Earrings in contrast to male works such as Norwegian Wood and Memoirs of a Geisha provide further insights to the role that sex plays in the …

East Asian Studies Honors Papers
Japan used its export of pop culture in the post-war era not only to boost its economy but also as a means to improve its national image and project its soft power. Japanese pop culture exports emphasized a positive, non-threatening image of national culture. Though Japan's pop culture export boom has been enormously successful, it has not been able to completely overcome its problematic past and erase historical tensions with Korea and other Asian nations. The pop culture boom has redefined Japan's national image but not entirely. Contradictions between Japan's curated image and actual reality, especially in the case of …

Illuminating Chinese Aesthetics With Kant'S Account Of Genius? Possibility And Difficulty, Kefu ZHU 2023 San Jose State University
Illuminating Chinese Aesthetics With Kant'S Account Of Genius? Possibility And Difficulty, Kefu Zhu
Comparative Philosophy
Many scholars interpret Chinese Aesthetics with the Kantian theory of genius because they seem to form a parallel: similar innate and spontaneous mental talents that exceed normal cognition and imagination generates beautiful arts with similar extraordinary qualities. I argue that projecting Kant's genius to illuminate the creative power analogically, i.e., the carefree-wandering mind, is infeasible. The theory of genius assumes a critical project that stipulates a valuable way to exercise the power of judgment. Genius is only a postulated idea for successfully making aesthetic judgments on artworks. In contrast, the carefree-wandering mind assumes a Daoist metaphysical-ethical theory centering on the …
The Best Confucian Hybrid Meritocracy-Democracy For Liberal Democracies, John J. PARK 2023 San Jose State University
The Best Confucian Hybrid Meritocracy-Democracy For Liberal Democracies, John J. Park
Several contemporary Confucian philosophers have posited differing hybrid views fusing meritocracy to democracy. There is a good deal of interest in a meritocracy in contemporary Confucian thought, and such a view perhaps should receive more serious consideration in liberal democratic thought since it may make for a stronger form of government when appended to democracy. In this paper, four contemporary hybrid theorists who combine elements of a meritocracy with a democracy are critically analyzed concerning an ability for their views to be instantiated in liberal democracies for the legislative branch only. Finally, I provide a modified hybrid view for the …

Is this just a dream? Daoist philosopher Zhuang Zi and metaphysician Descartes both considered this question but came to very different conclusions. In his Dream Hypothesis, Descartes imagined that all of his beliefs about the external world could be mistaken, which led him to the realization that the only thing that he could be certain of was his own existence: "I think therefore I am." But what am "I"? "I am a thinking thing", he said and concluded that the existence of one's mental self is clear, certain and indubitable, while the existence of a physical world was open …

They both reflect on how in consumer societies, an imperfect real world is substituted for an illusory hyperreality in which the distinction between subject and object has disappeared. While Baudrillard explains how the denial of a transcendent reality in contemporary society is "a perfect crime" that destroys the real, Alex de la Iglesia uses black humor and a mix of genres (mainly grotesque comedy and thriller) to show the …

Short Song Lyrics (Xiaoling) In The Song Dynasty : "I Ask You, How Much Sorrow Can There Be?" : Later Literati Song Lyrics, Maija Samei
This episode discusses how the genre begins to broaden thematically in the work of somewhat later literati poets who continued to write in the short xiaoling form. Poems by the Last Emperor of the Southern Tang, Li Yu, and by Northern Song statesman Yan Shu demonstrate how the genre begins to take on themes like nostalgia and friendship.

Short Song Lyrics (Xiaoling) In The Song Dynasty : Feeling And Scene : Early Literati Song Lyrics, Maija Samei
This episode discusses early efforts of literati poets in the song lyric, showing how their works reflect the genre's origins in the entertainment quarters and remained largely tied to feminine themes, while they bore evidence of poetic craft. Examples show how Wei Zhuang's more direct and lyrical expression contrasts with Wen Tingyun's more implicit presentation.

Animals have a special place in human thought and life throughout history since they were used as a symbol to refer to different purposes in stories and proverbs. So, they play an important role in the people's culture and literature. Thus, animal behaviors and characteristics were not the same for all nations due to the geographic nature of each nation, the impact of animals' in it, and to the beliefs, customs and traditions of each nation.From this standpoint, we found that there were many common beliefs among nations regarding animals and their behaviors. At the same time, we found that …

This project explores the widespread popularity and impact of anime on Japanese culture. In my research, I demonstrate how the integration of anime into Japan's culture creates big splashes—like stones being thrown into a lake—that, at the same time, ripple out in various directions and reverberate on multiple levels. First and foremost, this research centers around an important concept: that anime contains well-crafted storytelling and powerful imagery that demonstrates wider historical, cultural, and social issues—both the positive and negative. In anime films and shows, symbolism plays an important part as it can be found throughout the imagery and the storylines …

Roles Of Religious Guides In Tourism: A Qualitative Study From Japan, Ricardo Nicolas Progano
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
Pilgrimage travel has become an important element in contemporary tourism, as visitors flock to sacred locations (UNWTO, 2015). However, some aspects of pilgrimage travel remain relatively understudied, with one of them being the roles of guides in these locations. Based on previous academic works, the present study aims to bridge this gap by analysing the role of religious figures who engage in guiding activities aimed at the general public. For this, Shippōryū-ji, a Shugendō temple located in Japan, is presented as the case study. As previous research on the subject is scarce, a qualitative approach was deemed suitable.

House Exposes Idaho Education Curriculum
Kevin Miller Published: April 8, 2021
KEVIN MILLER /KIDO TALK RADIO
The Idaho House of Representatives sent a message to the four-state universities Wednesday, voting down the budget to fund them. The $631.4 million was the amount of money that the state's colleges were to receive this year.
Several legislators spoke out, citing several examples of students targeted for their conservative beliefs. The vote was not close as most legislators sent a message with their 13-57 vote.
Representative Priscilla Giddings shared her thoughts with the Kevin Miller Show on KIDO Talk Radio this morning. She told us why the legislators didn't approve the higher education budget. "Huge victory for the conservative people have lost trust in our colleges; they are not teaching the basics, they're indoctrinating their students."
The state legislator recounted how the funding bill failed historically. "We haven't seen a vote like this in twenty years," she said. She explained why the bill failed by the lowest vote count of this session. "The bill's sponsor said the bill was bad and not to vote for it," Giddings said. She continued, "normally, if a bill has a problem, we send it back; that never happened with this bill."
Higher education costs continue to rise in the Gem State. The Moscow-Pullman Daily News broke down the cost to fund Idaho colleges and universities. The $631.4 million higher education budget included $315.2 million in state general fund support. That's an increase of $8.1 million, or 2.6 percent, in state funding compared to fiscal '21. Representative Giddings explained that the state's four four-year colleges' total budget is $1.4 billion.
Representative Giddings detailed what is taught in Idaho schools, from elementary school to colleges. She explained the challenges in reforming the curriculum. "This indoctrination of critical race theory is going to take a lot of work to get it out of our system," she said. Giddings offered a solution, "it's cancer; we need specific laws to get it out of our system permanently." She advocates that new laws need to be created to eliminate racist, sexist, and other concepts from the state's entire education system.
Several legislators gave specific examples on the House floor of what is being taught in Idaho schools. They detailed how students, parents, and educators have contacted them.
The Idaho Press shares one example:
Rep. Dorothy Moon, R-Stanley, told the House, "We had the president of BSU come and talk to us about how wonderful things were going on campus, and we all knew different. ... It is unbelievable what the students of Idaho have been going through, and they have been pleading with us."
Representative Giddings explained how science and history are being reinvented in colleges and primary schools. "Why in is a college genetics class are we teaching that sex is a spectrum," she shared. She continued, "Kids are being taught that America did not being in 1776, but 1619."

Acting Justly, Walking Humbly
Brant L. Myers' work Walking with the Poor attempts to integrate social work with theology and evangelism in a holistic fashion. Myers does not call evangelicals away from the presentation of the Good News — instead he argues for a more comprehensive consideration of how such Good News should be lived out as part of the new Kingdom of Jesus.
In developing a biblical and theological understanding of poverty, Myers suggests that poverty, "is about relationships that don't work, that isolate, that abandon or devalue" . He agrees with Jayakumar Christian that the identity of the poor are marred in three ways: they are excluded as actors and subjected to a narrative of "damaged goods"; they internalize and define themselves by their exposure to "suffering, deception and exclusion", which is "the deepest and most profound expression of poverty"; and their hope is eradicated. Myers goes on to discuss Christian's concept of a "web of lies" that distorts the identity of the poor and thus binds them in poverty.
The implication is that transformational development works towards destroying the web of lies and establishes the poor in relationships that affirm their identity as humans created in the image of God. The primary paradigm that guides believers in pursuing this goal is the cross of Christ, which is the "center of the story" . Myers uses a Christus Victor metaphor of the cross to emphasize that Christ "disarmed the powers and authorities making a public spectacle of them" (Col. 2.15). Because the cross declares that we are "good, fallen and redeemable" all at the same time, transformational development declares the Good News of "both personal and corporate liberation and redirection towards God."
Myers describes the goals of transformation , which can be summarized as the recovery of true identity and vocation (a right conviction of one's self in the world) and just and peaceful relationships (a healthy view of self in relationship with others). With respect to identity, the poor believe that they are made in the image of God, while the non-poor lay down the "god-complexes" and realize that they are not the saviours. With respect to vocation, the poor believe that they have gifts to contribute in order to be productive stewards of God's creation, while the non-poor use their gifts to share, not control, and have a posture of servants, not masters.
In developing the case for a holistic view of poverty, Myers provides the groundwork that guides transformational development. Because poverty is fundamentally relational , transformational development will work to correct the marred identities and distorted vocations. Because poverty is fundamentally spiritual , Christian transformational development will address the "root of deception, distortion and domination," which is the sin of turning away from God. The obvious implication is that there "can be no practice of transformational development that is Christian unless somewhere, in some form, people are hearing the good news of the Gospel and are being given a chance to respond".

I really like your reason for doing this, of seeing things differently. Sounds like a great way to visually stretch. Your resulting work is cool, with the layers sharply separated by not only muted colors vs. bold, but complex vs. simple silhouette. Great work!

'Who's that guy?' - a floor based mini game
an invention by thutterer
Updated 7 months ago. 5 hacker ♥.
It's a little tool that can help you to get to know your colleagues here at SUSE while playing a photo/names-matching game.
It checks for SUSE employees who have a photo in 'floor', randomly shows three of these photos and then asks for the full name of one of these employees, comparing the answer to the corresponding entries in tel. Of course it does not bother tel every time you play a round. Instead it gets a list of all tel-entries from a daily cron job. It also works the other way around by showing you a photo and asking for the matching name, giving you the choice between three.
What else is implemented?
It keeps score and has a highscore submit function. Furthermore it has a search function that is somehow better than the one floor offers. Why better? You finally can search for full names with blanks in between. Why only somehow? The search function was implemented on Hack Week's Thursday as a kind of by-product after I realized I already had all the fundamental subroutines. It worked almost immediately but has still a few flaws, like not being able to show more than one result. It also vaporizes all special chars because of some char-set confusion. I'll fix that soon.
Why this project?
The idea grew in my mind since my first day here at SUSE ... even before I knew Hack Week existed. The amount of new faces and names is just overwhelming and I wished there was a tool that could help me remember my new colleagues faster.
Why Perl? Wouldn't that have been way simpler with JavaScript?
Maybe, but the spirit of Hack Week is to learn something new and have fun while doing that, right?
This is quite simple. The project is online on the trainees' server. On the page's left side you can see the menu. I think it's self-explaining but here is a short overview: - The first entry is the search function which has autofocus. So you can just load the page and then immediately type in a search string, hit enter and hopefully see the desired result. Clicking on a user- or full name starts a mail to that employee's suse.de-account. Sure, this is a very cheap trick but maybe it can save you some time. - The second entry is the game sub menu. Choose between the two different game modes or play a mixture of both. - The third entry shows your current points and also shows the overall highscore on click. There you can submit your own points to the list. - The forth entry is the About Page where you (will) can find the change log and stuff. - The fifth and last entry is the contact information if you have questions, bugs or requests.
How to make a use of it?
Just use it if you find it useful. And: Send me criticism...! Also and especially about the code. I always want to improve. But please keep in mind that this was my first Perl project after 'Hello World' and a little command line fun. Therefor the code is not that pretty or slim but very readable :)
And now: Try and have fun!
Cheers, Thomas

Recently, I found Mack Tack online and I am really impressed with the huge collection of awesome designer dresses. I have never seen any website with such gorgeous dresses. The best part is that website is easy to use and the customer support is very responsive. I called them about the size issues and the operator was very experienced in satisfying the customers. She explained me everything about my size and fitting issues. Above all, I love the super fast delivery here in London. Will buy another dress from this site soon!

Jamie Lynn Spears On The Beginning Of Britney Spears' Conservatorship: I Was About To Have A Baby, So I Didn't Understand What Was Happening – Nor Was I Focused On That
January 12, 2022	by Roganí Araya	in TV	with 0 Comments
Jamie Lynn Spears On The Beginning Of Britney Spears' Conservatorship: I Was About To Have A Baby, So I Didn't Understand What Was Happening… Nor Was I Focused On That
Jamie Lynn Spears breaks her silence about Britney Spears.
Former Nickelodeon actress Jamie Lynn Spears made an appearance on Good Morning America to discuss her new memoir–and her strained relationship with sister Britney Spears. When questioned about her famous sister's controversial conservatorship, the Sweet Magnolias star reminded naysayers that she was just as powerless in the situation.
The strict hold went into effect when a 17-year-old Jamie Lynn was with child. At the time, she had made a name for herself as the titular character of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 (2005-2008). Her shocking pregnancy brought the show to a halt after three years on the air.
As tabloids plastered her face across magazine covers with headlines sensationalizing teenage pregnancy, Britney Spears was starting her "abusive" conservatorship. Jamie Lynn said that she was too young and distracted to understand or focus on the matter.
"When it was put into place I was 17 years old. I was about to have a baby, so I didn't understand what was happening. Nor was I focused on that. I was focused on the fact that I was a 17-year-old about to have a baby. I understand just as little about it then as I do now."
At the height of the "Free Britney" campaign, fans of the singer slammed Jamie Lynn, assuming that she ignored her sister's dire circumstances. Britney added fuel to their suspicions when she recently unfollowed her. Jamie Lynn explained that while she wasn't interested in handling Britney's finances, she did show her support.
"I've always been my sister's biggest supporter. So when she needed help, I set up ways to do so,"
She continued:
"[I] went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family. If it's going to cause this much discord, why continue it?"
Jamie Lynn claimed that she once tried to reason with Britney's legal team, but that conversation "did not end well." She said, ultimately, it was Britney's choice to "walk through the door" that she'd opened for her.
The world was first introduced to Jamie Lynn Spears as the younger sister of pop sensation Britney Spears. Britney, who Jamie Lynn said her older sister "felt like another momma," often showed her baby sister off in the media. By the early '90s, Jamie Lynn had already made a brief appearance with her sister during a segment of The Mickey Mouse Club revival.
Later, she'd play the younger version of Britney in 2002's Crossroads and earn a spot on the children's variety show All That, where Britney guest-starred.
Although their relationship remains complex, Jamie Lynn stated that she will always love Britney.
"That love is still there. 100 percent. I love my sister," she said. "I've only ever loved and supported her and done what's right by her, and she knows that, so I don't know why we're in this position right now."
Do you think Jamie Lynn could've done more to help Britney? Leave us a comment and let us know!

Men watching porn less likely to enjoy sex with real-life partners
February 5, 2015 Abbasaly Entertainment
Washington: A new study has examined that men who regularly watch porn are more likely to depend on it to stay aroused and are less likely to enjoy sex with a real-life partner.
The survey approached 487 male college students aged 18 to 29 and showed that more men used pornography, the more likely they were to try to act out the same scenes and rely on pornography-inspired fantasies to engage in sex,
Ana Bridges, associate professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas, asserted that porn was sometimes dismissed, celebrated or problematized as fantasy and many people used it as a form of entertainment.
Patrick A. Trueman, president of Morality in Media, said that this was a public health crisis and it was urgent for government and society to address it.
The study showed that using porn several days a week or more tended to rely on it to become and remain sexually excited and were more likely to "integrate pornography into sexual activities."

how to disconnect a stream which is connect without stream file, Example appName:xxxx or streamName:2263. I am stuck in issue please help as soon as possible.
here is not any disconnect option in Action field.
The disconnectStream action endpoint that you are using is not suitable for these types of streams. The disconnectStream is only used for streams that are connected using the MediaCaster stream file, where the server is the one that initiated the connection. In the streams you have, these look to be initiated by the encoder (push type of publish). For example, Wirecast and OBS are push-type encoders.
If you need to remove these streams, you will need to reject them using custom security methods, such as blocking by IP address or blocking according to bandwidth usage.


A gaming pc, gaming rig or gaming PC is particularly designed for taking part in demanding and complicated video video games. It is undoubtedly a tough determination and whereas I might recommend a better upgrade path for the long run, you possibly can nonetheless in all probability get by with an AMD AM3+ build for no less than another couple of years earlier than you'd should do an entire rebuild.
Multiplayer gaming was largely limited to native space networks (LANs) earlier than price-efficient broadband Internet access became obtainable, resulting from their sometimes larger bandwidth and lower latency than the dial-up services of the time. Setting your funds offers you a price to work with when choosing your components and it'll make it simpler to make decisions on every half.
A key distinction between Western and Japanese computers on the time was the display resolution , with Japanese systems utilizing a better decision of 640×400 to accommodate Japanese text which in turn affected video game design and allowed more detailed graphics.
And, second, and perhaps most significantly, you'll give yourself the choice to upgrade to a excessive-end video card down the road. Design: 87 standard battle free keys, full numeric keypad,12 multimedia keys, and splash-proof design. And, in fact, if you wish to get actually fancy, there are a couple of different tools that may make constructing a LAPTOP a bit of easier.
The defining characteristic of the COMPUTER platform is the absence of centralized control; all different gaming platforms (except Android devices, to an extent) are owned and administered by a single group. It has a rating of 125W, has a minimalist design, and it'll work effectively for overclocking.

Nicole Meade, CNM
Midwife ● She / Her
"It is time to shift the narrative of pregnancy care, and to center birthing people as whole, capable, and more than just a physical body."
Nicole Meade, CNM is a certified midwife with over a decade of midwifery experience. She has spent her entire career accompanying and serving women as they navigate life choices and transitions. She believes in holding space for families to experience birth as not only a physiologic experience but also a deeply spiritual and transformative one. She understands that while there is a plethora of evidence demonstrating the benefits of midwifery care, there is still work to be done in improving its access -- a part of Oula's mission that she is most passionate about.
Nicole has helped bring hundreds of babies into this world across Woodhull, NYU Langone Hospital Center, and Mt. Sinai's Main Campus, in addition to homebirth settings. Prior to becoming a midwife, she spent 6 years as a labor and delivery nurse at NYU Langone Hospital. She received her MSN in Nursing Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University, her BS in Nursing from NYU, and BA from University of Oregon.

Q: About String object and pass-by-value in Java I khow that java is pass-by-value, and when i pass a object into method and change it,it will change when i out method. But i can't do it with String object. This is example:
public class text
{
    public void change(String a)
    {
        a = "ha";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        text a = new text();
        String b = "hi";
        a.change(b);
        System.out.println(b);
    }
}

A: a = "ha";

That statement is analogous to this:
a = new String("ha");

So even if String were not immutable, you'd have the issue that you are now pointing a to a new String object.
What is happening here is just "compiler magic" or "syntactic sugar" to make it easier to declare a String.

A: Not in this case, String is an immutable object. All you are saying in your change method is for "a" to point to a new object, but that "a" is a different pointer than your main "a" pointer.

Investing in real estate is a big decision. Keep reading to learn about some mistakes to avoid when investing in Sydney real estate.
Any kind of investment can fail. Property investment is no exception.
Markets conditions change. Neighbourhoods stop being the hot, go-to place for people with disposable income. Getting the edge on your next investment is vital.
Even so, property investment can also be a path to long-term wealth building. Sydney real estate, for example, has seen tremendous growth. Some home prices rose more than 70% over five years.
With that kind of growth in real estate, how can jumping into the game be a failing move?
It's simple. There are some common mistakes that many people make when they first enter into real estate investing. The Australian Dream is alive and well, we just need to be smarter with our investments. To help you succeed where others failed, we're going to look hard at some of those common mistakes.
Many people enter into property investing expecting it to make them rich overnight. When it doesn't, they get impatient.
Investing in Sydney real estate, or any real estate isn't a path to short-term financial prosperity. Real estate takes time to accrue value and it takes time to sell. Granted, real estate in a hot location accrues value and sells faster, but not that much faster.
That's before considering any other costs that you may have already paid, such as building insurance and renovations.
If your property hasn't appreciated in value enough, all of those costs chew away at whatever profit you might otherwise make. That can get even more expensive if you took out a loan to buy the property in the first place. You need to pay off the entire loan, whether you make a profit on the sale or not.
Imagine taking your spouse to see a house that's for sale. And you both fall in love with the place and the neighbourhood.
You know it'll be expensive to fix up and that you probably won't ever make back what you put into it. And you decide to buy the house anyway.
That is emotional buying and it's fine when you're buying a property for yourself. You're allowed to be a little irrational about your own home. The same is not true when you buy investment properties.
An important factor to consider is this; the house you are buying is not for you. What you may consider to be undesirable, may be a perfect place to live for others. Some people like to live next to a freeway or don't mind living next to power transformers.
Many people buy an investment property because the property is near to where they live, not because the property is primed to grow in value. The decision is based on emotional factors or simple familiarity.
You know the area and the people who live there. It seems obvious that other people would want to live there too and prove willing to pay a good price. Over the very long-term, you may even be right.
There are two major problems with that approach. Most people can't afford to wait 20 or 30 years to sell an investment property. Any piece of real estate exists in a relationship with the surrounding area.
Without a thorough understanding of that relationship, you can't gauge how long it will take to sell the property at a decent profit. All of which brings us to our next mistake.
There are really two levels of research that go into choosing real estate in Sydney. You have your informational research and your lifestyle research. Let's start with informational research.
Informational research is comprised of facts and value trends. Some facts you'll want to consider are proximity to schools, medical care, and shopping. You'll also want to consider facts like vacancy rates, current rental prices, infrastructure investment and employment statistics.
When you put all of that together, you get a good picture of how things are in an area right now. Then you consider value trends. Did property values and rental prices go up or down over the last few years and is that expected to continue?
Then you need to consider lifestyle factors for the neighbourhood. For example, the Surry Hills area attracts young professionals and has a thriving nightlife. Sydney real estate in the Bondi area attracts surfers and expats.
Understanding the lifestyle differences in neighbourhoods gives you a better idea of what kind of tenants you'll attract. This, in turn, lets you decide whether or not those are your ideal tenants. Don"t forget to use Landlord Insurance.
The one thing to beware of in analysis paralysis. That's when you've accumulated so much information that it overwhelms your ability to decide. It's a bit like going into a Bunnings Warehouse for nails and walking out with nothing because there were too many choices.
If your investment strategy involves "buying to renovate", In order to keep initial costs down, you may decide to find and renovate a run down property. This approach will work, but many first buyers underestimate the expense or total time it will take to do the renovations.
Say that you planned on doing most of the work yourself. You may have overestimated how quickly you could finish the project, which adds time. The house may need work that requires expertise you don't possess, which adds the expense of bringing in tradies.
Even if you planned on outsourcing most of the work, the costs and time to completion aren't guaranteed. The simplest way to avoid these issues is to over-budget for costs and time.
Include a buffer of 10%-20% for the costs, because those are almost always higher than expected. Give yourself an extra few weeks to finish.
Preparing for predictable problems protects you if they do happen. If everything goes as planned, your property goes on the market sooner. Either way, you win.
It's possible to manage your own properties. Around 22% of rentals are owner-managed. Just because it's possible, it doesn't mean you actually want to do it. Getting a property manager is a great tip, and will free up more time for you.
Property management can quickly turn into a black hole that swallows all of your time, even with fantastic tenants. After all, even the best cared for properties will develop problems that need attention.
Plumbing will leak. Heating or cooling will fail. Paint will fade.
If you're managing the property yourself, it's all on you to deal with these problems as they show up. Then there are the problems that come with bad tenants. All of that work is a big reason why more than 75% of property owners choose to hire a property manager. It makes life easier.
They essentially take on all the things that soak up your time and cause you stress. That leaves you free to focus on your next property purchase, spend time with your family or just go to your job.
Investing in Sydney real estate can be tricky, but it can also be a profitable venture. If you take care to avoid the mistakes above and treat it as a way to develop wealth over time, there's no reason why you can't succeed at it.

San Juan Symphony Indefinitely Postpones Upcoming Concerts Out of Caution Over COVID-19
We at the San Juan Symphony have been closely monitoring the ongoing and developing situation concerning COVID-19 in the United States. Just yesterday, both of our venues in Durango and Farmington announced temporary closures in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus in our communities. As a result, and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone indefinitely our subscription concerts of April 4th and 5th in Farmington and Durango. Our hope is to reschedule the events but we have no further information about that at this time.
We make this announcement with a heavy heart: our guest artist, musicians, and staff have been putting in countless hours of work behind the scenes in preparation. Our season has been a great success and to stop right now is a terrible shock to the system. Please know that this is not a decision that we have made lightly. As other communities have decided to move away from holding mass gatherings and public events, we also feel a responsibility to protect our patrons and musicians from the potential of a wider spread of the virus.
Please check back soon for updates regarding our scheduled events in late April and early May, including the San Juan Symphony Youth Orchestra concert on April 28th and our Roaring Twenties Symphony Train Gala on May 3rd. Please send any questions, comments or concerns to the San Juan Symphony at sanjuansymphony@musician.org or by calling 970-382-9753.

Syrian president receives UAE foreign minister in Damascus
Sheikh Abdullah with Bashar Al Assad in Damascus.
Syrian President Bashar Al Assad received the UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed in Damascus on Tuesday, Syrian state media said.
Sheikh Abdullah is the most senior Emirati dignitary to visit Syria in the decade since the eruption of a civil war.
The UAE foreign minister arrived with a senior delegation, according to Syrian state news.

Its correspondent said heavy security had been observed on the road from Damascus airport to the city.
Talks during the meeting dealt with bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries and the development of bilateral cooperation in various fields of common interest, in addition to intensifying the efforts to find new aspects for this cooperation, particularly in vital sectors to boost investment partnerships in these sectors.
Assad affirmed the strong brotherly relations between Syria and the UAE since the time of late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
President Assad hailed the objective and correct stances adopted by the UAE, stressing that it has always stood by the Syrian people .
Sheikh Abdullah Al Nahyan, for his part, affirmed the UAE's support for stability efforts in Syria, considering that what has happened in Syria had affected all the Arab countries.
He was confident that Syria, under the leadership of Assad, and the efforts of its people, is able to overcome the challenges imposed by the war, noting that his country is always ready to offer assistance to the Syrian people.
The discussions also tackled the situations in the Arab and regional areas. The two sides agreed to continue consultation and coordination about different issues and challenges that face the Arab region to achieve aspirations of its people through their will away from any external intervention.
Syrian newspaper Al Watan cited unofficial media sources "talking about" his arrival.
The UAE has been at the forefront of efforts by some Arab states to normalise ties with Damascus , and earlier this year called for Syria to be readmitted to the Arab League.
The UAE reopened its embassy in Damascus three years ago.
Last month, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, reviewed with the Assad, the relations between the two fraternal nations and prospects of advancing cooperation across various fields.
This came in a phone call Sheikh Mohamed received from the Syrian president where they also discussed the ongoing developments in Syria and the Middle East in addition to issues of regional and international interest.

Q: Confused by javascript Keyboard events I'm confused at how I'm supposed to handle keyboard events in Javascript. I'm trying to detect meta-z and meta-shift-z to implement undo/redo. What is currently working is to use
    let key = String.fromCharCode(e.which || e.keyCode);
    if (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) {
      // Handle ctrl/cmd keypress
      if ((key === 'Z' && e.shiftKey) || key === 'Y') {
        // Ctrl/Cmd-shift Z or Cmd-Y => Redo
        redoGraph();
        e.stopPropagation();
      }
      else if (key === 'Z') { // lower-case z, no shift
        // Ctrl/Cmd-Z => Undo
        undoGraph();
        e.stopPropagation();
      }
    }

However, both "which" and "keyCode" are deprecated. Though, as usual, the notice I found for the deprecation didn't say what to use instead. If I use "e.key", then according to W3Schools, Safari doesn't support that, so then it seems like I'd need to do both or something. Is there a best practice for detecting keyboard events?
Also, "e.key" always returns lower-case. So then if you wanted to detect typing, do you have to do your own manual conversion from lower to upper (including all diacritics, etc.)? Or is there a way to get a key event that says what the typed character should look like?


Humor Horizons President and ASU alumnus David M. Jacobson returned to his alma mater for a Project Humanities event Wednesday to spread the message that humor can be an effective form of therapy in health care.
The event, "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Funnier," focused on how humor can be used for both self-care and the treatment of illness in others. Jacobson used his own experience of being diagnosed with arthritis at a young age and choosing to cope with humor as an example.
Jacobson was 22 and living in Israel when he noticed that his normally athletic body had become weak. A few days later, joints in his body had swollen up and he realized he was in critical condition. This is when he was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis.
"I used my humor to improve my health," Jacobson said.
He also discussed his experience working in Tucson as a social worker when the Gabrielle Giffords shooting occurred in 2011. A genuine smile is important in order to treat patients, Jacobson said.
Jacobson said the body tends to react to traumatic settings with a stress response in which blood pressure and heart rate increase, forcing someone into a "fight or flight" response. Humor can help relieve that stress. With a laughter response, the muscles tend to relax and blood pressure is relatively low, he said.
People who have been through traumatic experiences can make use of humor therapy, which promotes psychological, social and spiritual benefits. Being able to look at a situation from a different perspective allows one to be open-minded, sincere and sociable, Jacobson said.
Nursing senior Madison Raver said she can use some of the techniques Jacobson discussed in her own practice.
"It's a new window in health care from a social worker's point of view," Raver said.
Retired counselor Helga van Muijen heard about the lecture through the New Frontiers program at Mesa Community College, which is a lifelong learning program for adults. She said she was inspired by Jacobson.
Jacobson interacted with the audience by introducing habits included in his book "The 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Humorous People." He asked the audience to stand in a circle and introduce themselves with a movement that was then to be copied by everyone else in the room.
Nursing senior Shelby Armentrout said she was inspired by Jacobson's approach.
"It's really a good way to learn how to interact with patients in order to make situations lighter," Armentrout said.
Jacobson concluded the presentation with a poem he wrote.
