Rozejm izraelsko-egipski – traktat rozejmowy o zawieszeniu broni podpisany przez Izrael i Egipt w dniu 24 lutego 1949 na greckiej wyspie Rodos. Zawarcie umowy oficjalnie kończyło działania wojenne I wojny izraelsko-arabska na froncie południowym i ustanawiało linię demarkacyjną pomiędzy wojskami izraelskimi i egipskimi.

Historia
Przyjęta w dniu 29 listopada 1947 Rezolucja Zgromadzenia Ogólnego ONZ nr 181 decydowała o podziale Palestyny na dwa państwa: żydowskie i arabskie. Przywódcy społeczności arabskiej odrzucili plan podziału i rozpoczęli wojnę domową w Mandacie Palestyny (1947-1948). W maju 1948, w działania wojenne zaangażowały się sąsiednie państwa arabskie, rozpoczynając I wojnę izraelsko-arabską. Jesienią wojska izraelskie zyskały na tyle dużą przewagę, że przejęły inicjatywę i usunęły siły arabskie z Galilei i pustyni Negew. Kolejne działania wojenne doprowadziły do silnej międzynarodowej akcji politycznej i rozpoczęcia 12 stycznia 1949 tajnych rozmów izraelsko-egipskich na wyspie Rodos.

We wszystkich rozmowach uczestniczył Mediator Narodów Zjednoczonych w Palestynie, Ralph Bunche. Szefem izraelskiej delegacji był dyrektor generalny w Ministerstwie Spraw Zagranicznych, dr Walter Etan. Towarzyszyli mu Reuwen Sziloah i Elijjahu Sason oraz radca prawny. W skład personelu wojskowego delegacji weszli: gen. Jigael Jadin, oraz dwaj oficerowie wywiadu – majorowie Arje Simon i Jehoszafat Harkabi. W rozmowach wzięlu udział także gen. Dawid Sze'alti'el i gen. Icchak Rabin. Szefem egipskiej delegacji był płk. Mohammed Seif al-Din, któremu towarzyszyło dwóch pułkowników i dwóch wysokich oficerów wywiadu, radca prawny i dwóch konsultantów politycznych.

Egipcjanie od samego początku rozmów postawili bardzo ciężkie warunki, żądając na podstawie Rezolucji Rady Bezpieczeństwa nr 61 wycofania izraelskich wojsk na pozycje sprzed 14 października 1948. Konsekwencją tych żądań byłoby wycofanie Izraelczyków na linię al-Majdal-Hebron, i oddanie Egipcjanom Beer Szewy z całą pustynią Negew. Izrael zajął stanowisko, że wojska egipskie powinny wycofać się poza linię dawnej granicy międzynarodowej pomiędzy Egiptem a Mandatem Palestyny. Aby zachęcić drugą stronę do ustępstw, Izrael zgodził się na uwolnienie okrążonej w rejonie Al-Faludża egipskiej 4 Brygady (4 tys. żołnierzy). Nie widząc jednak żadnych postępów w rozmowach, delegacja izraelska wycofała się z wcześniejszej zgody i pod koniec miesiąca rozmowy utknęły w martwym punkcie.

Impas w rozmowach zakończył się wraz z zabójstwem przywódcy Bractwa Muzułmańskiego, Hassana al-Banna. Został on zastrzelony 12 lutego 1949 w Kairze przez egipskich agentów rządowych. Dzięki temu egipski rząd uzyskał większą swobodę w prowadzeniu negocjacji. Aby przełamać impas, Stany Zjednoczone wystosowały stosowny apel do obu delegacji państwowych. W dniu 24 lutego 1949 nastąpiło podpisanie rozejmu izraelsko-egipskiego. Szef rządu

 W pełni będzie przestrzegano prawo do bezpieczeństwa i wolności od strachu przed atakiem innych sił zbrojnych każdej ze Stron.
 Ustanowienie zawieszenia broni między siłami zbrojnymi obu Stron jest uznane jako niezbędny krok w kierunku zakończenia konfliktu zbrojnego i przywrócenia pokoju w Palestynie.

Ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem realizacji rezolucji Rady Bezpieczeństwa z 4 i 16 listopada 1948, następujące zasady i cele są potwierdzone:
 Zostaje uznana zasada Rady Bezpieczeństwa, że podczas rozejmu nie mogą być odniesione żadne korzyści militarne lub polityczne.
 Uznaje się również, że podstawowe cele i duch Rozejmu nie będą służyć do przywrócenia wcześniej zajmowanych pozycji wojskowych, zmieniania obecnie zajmowanych na inne niż wyraźnie przewidziane w niniejszej Umowie, lub przemieszczania sił zbrojnych obu stron poza pozycje zajmowane w czasie podpisania niniejszej Umowy.

 W obszarze Betlejem-Hebron, gdzie pozycje utrzymują egipskie siły, postanowienia niniejszej Umowy stosują się do sił obu Stron w każdej z tych miejscowości, zaakceptują Linię Demarkacyjną Rozejmu i wzajemne porozumienia dotyczące wycofania i redukcji sił, które mogą być przyjęte przez Strony w czasie obowiązywania Umowy Rozejmu, w zależności od woli Stron.

Artykuł VII

 Strony niniejszej Umowy uznają, że w niektórych sektorach na całej powierzchni obszaru przebywają siły trzeciej strony nie objętej niniejszą Umową, co sprawie, że nie można stosować wszystkich postanowień Umowy w tych sektorach. Z tego powodu, do czasu zawarcia Umowy Rozejmu z tą trzecią stroną, postanowienia niniejszej Umowy dotyczące wzajemnej redukcji i wycofania sił stosują się tylko do frontu zachodniego, a nie do frontu wschodniego.

Definicje forntu zachodniego i wschodniego są określone w Aneksie II niniejszej Umowy.
 W obszarze zachodniego frontu pozostającego pod egipską kontrolą, mogą być utrzymane jedynie egipskie siły obronne. Wszystkie inne egipskie siły wycofają się z tego obszaru do punktu lub punktów położonych na wschód od el-Arisz-Abu Ageila.
 W obszarze zachodniego frontu pozostającego pod izraelską kontrolą, mogą być utrzymane jedynie izraelskie siły obronne, które są rozlokowane w osiedlach, które mogą być utrzymane. Wszystkie inne izraelskie siły wycofają się z tego obszaru do punktu lub punktów położonych na północ od linii wyznaczonej przez paragraf 2.A Memorandum z 13 listopada 1948 w sprawie wprowadzenia w życie rezolucji Rady Bezpieczeństwa z 4 listopada 1948.
 Siły obronne, o których mowa w paragrafach 3 i 4 powyżej, są określone w Aneksie III do niniejszej Umowy.

Artykuł VIII

Sporządzono w Rodos, Wyspa Rodos, Grecja, 24 lutego 1949.

W imieniu Rządu Egiptu (podpisali) płk. Seif El Dine i płk. El Rahmani.

W imieniu Rządu Izraela (podpisali) dr Walter Etan, płk. Jigael Jadin, Elijjahu Sason.

Reakcje i następstwa
Podpisanie tego rozejmu, pod pewnym względem, było porażką izraelskiej strategii politycznej. Wynikało to z faktu, że Egipt nie zgodził się na całkowite wycofanie swoich wojsk (utrzymał Strefę Gazy), nie uznał faktu istnienia państwa żydowskiego i nie podpisał trwałego porozumienia pokojowego, tylko zawieszenie broni. W rezultacie, wojna izraelsko-egipska została tylko przerwana na czas obowiązywania rozejmu. Wywiązując się z zawartego porozumienia, Izraelczycy wypuścili z okrążenia 4 Brygadę, która w dniach 26-27 lutego przemaszerowała do Gazy. Podobnie uczyniły egipskie oddziały z Zachodniego Brzegu, które również otrzymały zgodę na przemarsz przez izraelskie terytorium do Gazy. Podczas całej tej akcji, izraelskie oddziały pozostawały w gotowości na wypadek wznowienia walk na południu.

The German Biobank Node (GBN) has published its QM manual – the manual for quality management in biobanking. It is freely available as an "open access" publication on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1420473).
During the first funding phase of GBN, a "GBN manual" was created: The QM Working Group prepared a draft based on already established SOPs (standard operating procedures) in biobanks.
Based on the standards documents DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, 17025, 17020, 15189, and the 2018-published document 20387 "Biotechnology – Biobanking – General requirements for biobanking", employees from biobanks in Heidelberg, Jena and Munich finalised this draft version subsequently.
DIN/CEN technical specifications for pre-analytical processes were taken into account during this process. As a result, the GBN manual as a process-oriented approach covers all currently available certification and accreditation requirements for biobanks.
The QM manual is available via this link.

Holding: A queer black love story

"When else have audiences at the Loeb Mainstage been treated to the sounds of Rihanna's new album, a cheeky spin on the trope of the 'black table' in the cafeteria, and multiple representations of queer couples of color, all in one production?"
-Brianna Suslovic, "Politicizing the Mainstage"
Black Magic premiered to a sold-out audience in the 540-seat Loeb Mainstage at the American Repertory Theater on April 1st, 2016. Written by five Black Harvard students, the play follows a group of Black college students coming of age in the time of Black Lives Matter through their personal journeys with race, sexuality, and gender-- in a world, and on a campus, where racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia are a constant presence.
At times funny, at times poignant, at times painful, Black Magic explores what it means to be politicized as a black student in this media-infused moment when we are constantly flooded with news of black death, what it means to care for your friends when their bodies are under attack. But it's also about fighting back, about rising up, about the intimate and public moments of resistance young black people lead every day. It's about black queer love. It's about unconventional activism. It's about the necessity of imagination and the power of dreams.
After a year of campus protests, when black students at the University of Missouri had their lives threatened for standing up, when women of color at Yale led a movement that gained national attention, when black students across the country organized sit-ins, rallies, and marches on campuses across the nation-- it's time for black students to take over the biggest stage on Harvard's campus to tell a multidimensional story about being black on campus in the context of a nationwide struggle for justice.

The Coalition Government and broadening the fight to end violence against women and girls beyond the Criminal Justice System
by Karen Ingala Smith
On the 25 November 2010, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Coalition Government launched the Call to End Violence against Women and Girls, just over six months after it had come in to power. It was followed in March 2011 by an action plan comprising 88 supporting actions for taking the strategy forward. In the foreword, the Home Secretary Theresa May acknowledged:
"The causes and consequences of violence against women and girls are complex. For too long government has focused on violence against women and girls as a criminal justice issue"
and went on to say that prevention would be at the heart of the government's approach, along with working with families and communities to change attitudes. Lynne Featherstone, then the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Equalities and Criminal Information added that
"This suffering is a form of gender inequality and it is wrong".
It almost sounds like we have a government that is ready to recognise that violence against women and girls is both a consequence and cause of inequality between women and men. The problem is, despite Theresa May's assurances, the government seems to be wilfully ignoring many of the ways that they could address violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System.
Starting with the cuts that followed the comprehensive saving review, the austerity package has hit women hardest. Data from the Women's Budget Group revealed
Of the welfare savings (cuts) 74% came from the pockets of women.
Two-thirds of those who have lost jobs in councils and schools since May 2010 were women, in 19 English local authorities, 100% of the jobs that were lost were women's jobs
For the first time in decades, the pay gap between women and men has stopped decreasing and started increasing.
The Universal Credit scheme, the government's next big step in welfare reform, is scheduled to start in October 2013. The government says it's about fairness, about making work pay and making the welfare system simpler by providing a single monthly payment for those in receipt of benefits. Where a couple are claiming, benefits will paid jointly to just one of them. This is despite the finding, in the British Crime Survey 2004, that 41% of women who've experienced domestic force have also suffered financial abuse. Where women are in receipt of benefits and in violent relationships, perpetrators are being mandated to have increased control over finances.
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't appear to extend to personal finances.
Lynne Featherstone has spoken about her outrage at the pressure for women to look a certain way; that she can see how body image affects women's confidence and even goes as far as saying that it can be a kind of violence against women. She went on to say "There's obviously sometimes a good rationale for plastic surgery. When you've had five children and your breasts are hanging round your waist and it's affecting your life, then I wouldn't really have a problem with women getting that sorted". Try as I might, I cannot see how identifying the effects of feeding babies on a woman's body as a good rationale for surgery are anything other than misogynistic. She has also said of herself, "I have the power of all middle aged women, the power to nag" "I have the powers of high level nagging".
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't appear to extend to addressing the pressure on women to conform to patriarchal beauty standards or avoiding descriptions of women's contribution to politics that conform to negative gender stereotypes.
Nadine Dorries has been busily trying her best to erode abortion rights, to reduce the abortion time limit from 24 to 20 weeks, a measure which is reported to be supported by Theresa May, Maria Miller and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Yet in 2011, 91% of abortions took place before 13 weeks and the number of abortions post-13 weeks has been steadily declining since 2008. There are bigger issues in reproductive health care that need attention, such as reproductive violence, access to contraception and improving access to early abortion.
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't appear to extend to considering the impact of reproductive violence or an attack on women's bodily autonomy.
Maria Miller, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and Minister for Women and Equalities has recently set out plans for a 'Guide for Girls' information pack to help parents bring up 'aspirational young women'. The aim is to help girls 'realise their potential' in response to concerns raised by the Women's Business Council, including the fact that the number of female chief executives in the FTSE 100 has fallen to just three in the past year.
Miller told the Observer:
"Making sure women can be successful at work and in business is essential if we want a strong economy. Encouraging women to fulfil their potential doesn't begin when they are already working; it starts when they are young, still at school. A vital part of future career success is the aspirations that girls have early in their lives, and the choices they make about subjects and qualifications.
"Parents are vital in helping girls make these choices, and we know that many parents want help with that. This campaign will give parents the knowledge and confidence they need to make sure that their daughters make choices which will help them realise their ambitions."
Yet since the Coalition Government came to power, more than 400 Sure Start children's centres have closed and more than a third (£430m) has been cut from Sure Start government funding between 2010-11 and 2012-13. Sure Start was launched in 1998 with the aim of "giving children the best possible start in life". In the first year of the Coalition Government an additional 300,000 children were plunged into poverty. The British Crime Survey has identified poverty as a risk factor to some forms or domestic and sexual violence. Poverty is a strong predictor of low educational performance. Research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation demonstrated that disadvantaged children are more likely to be reluctant recipients of the taught curriculum, influencing different attitudes to education at primary school that help shape their future and their future aspirations. It may be a cynical position but it does not seem likely that the target audience of Maria Miller's 'Guide for Girls' is parents living in poverty.
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't extend to addressing the educational attainment of girls raised in poverty.
Also this month, Labour proposed an amendment to Clause 20 of the Children and Families Bill to make relationships and sex education a mandatory part of the school curriculum. This seems wholly consistent with Theresa May's stated aim of increasing the focus on prevention and working to change attitudes – for example the attitudes of the 43% of young people who agree that it's acceptable for a boyfriend to be aggressive under certain circumstances. Yet all but two members of the government, including Theresa May and Lynne Featherstone, voted against the proposal.
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't extend to the full potential of the school curriculum to be a force for attitudinal change.
One of the steps that the Coalition Government has introduced to tackle domestic violence is The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, or Clare's Law, that enables people to ask the police if their partner has a history of domestic violence.
It was created following a campaign by the family of Clare Wood, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend, George Appleton, in 2009. A pilot is currently being run in Greater Manchester, Wiltshire, Nottingham and Gwent. Greater Manchester police revealed that approximately half of the requests they receive result in the disclosure of information whilst Wiltshire police have revealed that they received 10 applications in one week alone. Whilst the principle of allowing women access to information held by the state about violent men is welcome, there remain questions, these include how a woman may be judged in the light of actions that she takes or doesn't take if she is informed of a man's violent past. There is a huge potential for shifting the culpability for violence back on to the victim and for agencies to absolve themselves of their responsibility – after all, she knew about him and didn't leave. There is also the question of whether women will be held responsible for harm that a violent perpetrator does to children, after all – she knew about him and didn't leave. There is also the matter of access to specialist support which is vital for women, whether or not they find out that a man has a history of violence. Those that are told that there is no history on record have surely asked for information because they have legitimate reason to feel concerned. We know that most domestic violence is not reported. "No history on record" is not the same as "no history" or "no risk".
Theresa May said at the launch of The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme: "Domestic violence is a dreadful crime which sees two women a week die at the hands of their partners and millions more suffer years of abuse in their own homes. That is why we are constantly looking at new ways of protecting victims." I welcome this what about the full range of wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System?
And what of the specialist services, the ones that support women who have experienced domestic and sexual violence? A Freedom of Information request to 152 local authorities found that of the 101 councils that responded, there had been cuts of £5.6m to services including refuges, domestic violence advocates, victim support centres and centres for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted between 2009/10 and 2012/13. Remaining services are increasingly subject to competitive tendering, with contracts frequently awarded to organisations that are not specialists, that are not run from woman centered perspectives but that are chasing business and able to make low-cost bids.
The wider measures to end violence against women and girls outside the Criminal Justice System don't extend to maintaining and extending specialist service provision. Until we see effective steps being taken that actually do result in a decrease in male violence against women and girls, cuts to services speak louder than empty promises. The Home Secretary was right, for too long successive governments have focused on violence against women and girls as a criminal justice issue if they have focused on it at all. If the Coalition knows that a wider approach is needed, its actions and inactions belie a commitment to reduce the harm to women and girls through male violence.

Blast First Petite
CHAPMAN, MICHAEL - Live VPRO 1971
LP version. For a self-confessed journeyman" musician who has spent most of his 50-year career on the road live, Michael Chapman albums are curiously rare items and its even harder to find one his earlier years. This one, recorded by Dutch "hippie" station "VPRO" in May 1971 is the earliest known live recording so far discovered of Michael Chapman after he started releasing records on the legendary Harvest label in 1969. This period is for Chapman fans of the classic period. A beautiful clear, warm and intimate recording of Chapman duetting with long-time collaborator Rick Kemp on electric bass of which documents material from all three albums in a free-flowing improv-inflected style. It is with this free-flowing vibe in mind that Blast First Petite have included the complete 90-minute concert via a download code so listeners can experience the whole set. Chapman sounds in a confident, gentle, and relaxed mood. The audience is initially tentative, possibly unfamiliar with Chapmans work but they gradually warm up to his complex, dexterous, "not folk" playing. The recordings make for a fascinating snapshot of the time, with a loose and open approach that offers a rare chance for guitar buffs to eavesdrop between songs on some those bespoke Chapman guitar tunings." - Blast First Petite.

NEW YORK — A water pipe break in one of the terminals at New York's Kennedy Airport on Sunday added to the delays at the beleaguered airport trying to recover from the aftermath of a snowstorm that has stranded thousands of passengers.
A water pipe break flooded Terminal 4 in JFK airport Sunday.
In a statement, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said a water pipe that feeds a sprinkler system in the privately operated Terminal 4 broke at about 2 p.m., causing water to flood the terminal and significantly disrupt operations.
The pipe break sent about three inches of water gushing onto the floor of the terminal. Video shows streams cascading from a ceiling and people slogging through pools of water.
Power to the affected areas was temporarily shut off for safety reasons and additional staffing and busing operations were deployed to assist travelers, the Port Authority said.
Domestic arrivals and departures and international departures from Terminal 4 were experiencing delays Sunday. Some international flights destined for Terminal 4 were being diverted or accommodated at other JFK terminals, the Port Authority said.
Following the storm, which blasted New York on Thursday, passengers were kept on planes and waited hours to retrieve luggage as flights were delayed and canceled, and a backup to get to terminal gates built up.
Carlos Koester, 52, was in New York for a week with his wife and two teens and just wanted to get home to Brazil.
"We love New York, but now we are stuck here. It's frustrating. The storm caught us and now we have been stranded here for 13 hours," Koester told the Daily News on Sunday.
In a statement released before the water pipe break, the Port Authority said Saturday's cold "created a cascading series of issues for the airlines and terminal operators."


Minister for Finance, Culture and Labour & Employment, Haseeb A. Drabu today said that 72 youth of Leh district have been given trainings for setting up their own units under HIMAYAT programme.
Replying to a question by Deldan Namgail, the Minister said that 95 candidates are registered out of which 72 candidates have been trained by Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute and 26 candidates have been linked to financial assistance.
He said that similarly under the youth start up Loan scheme, 71 cases have been financed. He said that delay in the process under HIMAYAT/Youth Start up has been mainly due to the incomplete formalities. He said that the applicants are being approached regularly to complete their formalities.
The Minister said that financing entrepreneurs of the State was not the focus of the EDI. He informed that their main aim was to train and impart management trainings to the upcoming entrepreneurs of the State.

How AGI Denim's Double Zero is Cleaning Up 'Dirty' Denim Processing
By SJ Guest Editorial
SJ Guest Editorial

Fashion Must Close the Gap Between Sustainability Targets and Tracking
Conventional denim manufacturing is an ecologically impactful business. Wet processing for dyeing and finishing materials creates large volumes of wastewater full of harmful chemicals and hard metals.
In response to this issue, the denim industry has largely been focused on cleaning up the water that is released into the environment. But Pakistani manufacturer AGI Denim is taking a different path to more effectively lower the water impact of jeans.
"Denim is a dirty manufacturing production area," said Ali Tekin, research and development director at AGI Denim. "We are creating a huge amount of wastewater and it is making our earth dirtier, so we need to do something about it."
AGI's proprietary Double Zero technology drastically reduces the amount of water needed for both dyeing and finishing. Breaking down the numbers, the conventional dyeing process requires 3.6 liters of water per meter of yarn, while Double Zero uses just 0.65 liters for the same amount of denim, a reduction of 83 percent. For finishing, the 13 liters of water normally needed for the process have been replaced with just 0.28 liters per meter, almost 95 percent less water.
While Double Zero processes reduce the amount of water consumed, the zero stands for the amount of wastewater released. AGI recovers or evaporates all the water left over at the end of dyeing and processing, eliminating the potential for any harmful substances or effluents to be leeched into the environment. Recovered water is recycled for processing, further reducing the producer's water footprint.
Candiani's N-Denim Dyeing Tech Goes Big on Color, Easy on Water
Conventional dyeing requires a pre-wash to help with dye penetration and a post-wash to help with issues such as fading. AGI engineered the Double Zero process so that it could remove these steps and reduce water from dyeing and finishing while maintaining the same quality and style standards. Double Zero dyed and finished denim has the added benefit of responding well to sustainable lasers.
"Until two or three years ago, people just tried to do sustainability without getting the same quality," said Tekin. "But now the end consumer is looking for the same quality level and same looks with a sustainable form. This is a very critical point, so in our Double Zero, we are not sacrificing the quality or the look."
One aspect that improves the durability and performance of all of AGI's indigo denim is the use of liquid dyestuff, which is more stable than powder versions.
Double Zero was in development for more than six months before launching almost two years ago. Originally, the process was limited to blue jeans in varying shades, but it has since expanded to black dye in response to client demand. "We got so many reactions and feedback from the customer side, and they wanted us to enlarge all of our production line," said Tekin.
AGI aims to have Double Zero cover about 90 to 95 percent of its production line in the near future.
While AGI doesn't sell directly to end consumers, it is thinking of the marketing opportunities for retail brands. To back up its work on Double Zero, the mill brought in auditors from SGS to report on its water impact.
"If I don't have any data, it will not be easy to explain to the customer," said Tekin. "And the customer has to explain also to the end consumer. So now we are also servicing our customer with some reports and certification."
The need for water conservation in denim is clear. Only 3 percent of the earth's water is fresh, and around two-thirds of the global population could be facing water shortages by 2025.
Beyond Double Zero, AGI Denim is making efforts to reduce its water footprint. It takes about 1,800 gallons of water to produce enough cotton for one pair of jeans. Across all of its lines, AGI tries to use at least 5 percent and up to 20 percent post-consumer recycled materials instead of virgin cotton. Six months ago, the mill began working with Renewcell to incorporate its Circulose material into its denim, allowing it to use recycled inputs without any quality changes.
In another raw materials move, AGI Denim has started working with hemp as an alternative to cotton. By replacing a portion of cotton in jeans with hemp, which is a less thirsty crop, AGI can reduce the water that goes into its jeans.
"The earth is always becoming hotter, drier and more crowded, and the availability of water is becoming more challenging day by day," said Tekin. "Denim manufacturing is one of the world's most water intensive processes, and it's causing a huge environmental impact, so we have to find some solution."

Meet the Honorees


Have you ever wondered why you give up so easily when pursuing an endeavor that has been benefitting the people around you? Have you ever wondered why it seems you can't get past the initial start up phase? Have you ever wondered why you have a long list of unfinished projects? You could stop wondering and sit a while.
NOTE: For the purpose of this article, I'll use simple precise definitions that suit the point.
This is the act of pulling back or away from am endeavor or activity.
There comes that time, when we feel super overwhelmed. It feels like what we're engaged in, is threatening to swallow us up. Just like in a battlefield, when your enemies are gaining on you, you simply retreat. You pull away from everything. This is not abandonment. Remember the saying, "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day." That is simply what you in play here. Withdraw. Go back and lick your wounds. Reflect on everything. Find out what went wrong. The first step to solve a problem is by finding out what it is. While you're still pursuing things, your head is in the clouds. You need to step back and look at things. You need to do a head count on your resources and find out how much you've used and how you've achieved.
This means to reorganize anew, especially after a setback.
While you're recuperating, you apply this next step. You've taken stock of what you have left, how the opposition presented itself and how much resources you've already put in. Now, with what you have left, instead of giving up, you put a plan together on how best to use them to get positive results. At this stage, do not let doubts and insecurities set in. Nothing kills progress more than those two. You might have lost a lot but then, "where there seems to be no way, there is always a way" ~ Igbo proverb.
This is to come back to a situation after a period of being off.
Did you retreat? Did you regroup? Did you take stock? Now you come back. Your opposition must think you've been extinguished. Your opposition must be having a victory party. At this stage, you return to start afresh. You've gained perspective. You rested enough. You've suffered defeat and shame. But then, you've learned. You've pulled yourself out of the water. You're back with new ideas and strength. You come to take the bull by the horns.
This is an action taken in return for an offense. This does not necessarily mean that you go out to kill and wreak havoc. Here, you get back into the fray. You fight back. You put all that reshuffled plan into play. You show that you've learned from your mistake. You show strength, resilience, and determination. You hold nothing back!
Remember, when faced with overwhelming forces, RETREAT, REGROUP, RETURN, REVENGE!

Here's the Nonsense: Obama's rejection of the Republican leadership's offer to give in to virtually everything he wants means that Republicans are now in a corner and must give in to even more before the U. S. defaults on it's debt because of the debt ceiling deadline this week.
Here's the Horse Sense: By rejecting the Republicans offer the president has just given the Republicans a chance to come back with tougher terms, whether he likes it or not. Default is not the threat the left wants people to believe. And now it's time for voters to take action to stop Boehner and company from giving away even more.
In spite of the Republican leadership trying to give away everything, thankfully President Obama is so stubborn that he rejected their offer thereby potentially saving the Republicans from once again undermining themselves. The offer the Republicans made to the president was a total sell-out, but still not a big enough sell-out for the president to accept it. While there is little hope the Republicans will wake up, take a stand and move back to a hard line position that would benefit America (the position the conservatives in the party have stood for all along) this does give Americans one last chance to put extreme pressure on the Republicans to do the right thing.
Politico reported Saturday morning that John Boehner reported to House Republicans that the president had rejected their offer at a deal on the debt ceiling and government shutdown. In their report they either ignorantly or with absolute disregard for the truth reported that the debt ceiling must be raised by Thursday (a lie that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has been spouting continually). This, they seem to feel, puts pressure on Republicans to do something (in other words, give in to the president's demands).
But the fact is that their supposed threats are unimportant. We will not default and cannot default for some very simple reasons. Not only do the best constitutional scholars see Article 14 of the Constitution as requiring us to pay our debts, but there is plenty of money to do so. Our nation's revenue is around 60% - 70% of our expenses. We bring in about $180 billion per month. Our interest on the debt is about $25 billion per month. That means there is plenty of money to pay lots of things, including the interest on the debt, which is just a small portion of our overall expenses. Our debt would have to be far higher for us to be in a position where we literally could not afford to pay the interest due. So default is just a scare tactic.
What would happen if we couldn't increase the debt ceiling would be a cessation of more borrowing. We would have to cut expenses. Anyone knows that if your income drops one-third it hurts. You have to make hard decisions, but at least you still have two-thirds of your income and you still have money to pay the things that are of the highest priority.
The only way we would default would be if President Obama chose to default and there is ample legal basis to bring impeachment charges against him if he did. It is agreed by many legal scholars that a president cannot choose to quit paying the interest on our debt. Of course given his history of disregarding the Constitution, it is possible he would go ahead and not make the interest payments knowing that Congress would not hold him accountable, but then Congress would face the wrath of the voters because of the disaster.
People don't want to believe it, but the goal of the progressives, as I outlined in my book, No Tomorrows, is to overload our economic system to the point of collapse. They do this by continually adding government programs, spending and increasing our debt. Then people will no longer be able to afford to keep their homes warm in the winter (Notice their use of the EPA to wage war on energy sources like coal and oil so that prices are driven higher and higher?) and will have a hard time being able to afford to feed their families, those cold and hungry people will be willing to accept anything to make things better. And at that point when our system collapses the progressives can replace our capitalist system with a progressive socialist system that would make Karl Marx proud.
So the arrogance of the president has caused him to reject the giveaway the Republicans have offered. What now?
What Americans need to do is ring the phones off the hook in Washington and fill their email inboxes and their snail mailboxes with mail demanding that the Republicans stand strong and abandon what they've offered. While the Republican leadership would say that they can't back away from what they've already offered, the fact is that they can. I've been in business over 39 years and one of the key things any good negotiator learns is that an offer you put on the table is null and void when the other side either rejects it or makes a counter offer.
I remember years ago being in a negotiation with a company that wanted to buy from me. They wanted a deal that was a money-loser and I countered with an offer that was very good, but not what they wanted. Once I'd made the offer I wished I hadn't because I realized it would not be as good for my company as I had hoped when I thought it up. They didn't like it and countered with another unacceptable offer. I rejected their offer and countered with an offer that was more costly to them than the previous offer I'd made. They were shocked. They said I couldn't do that. I told them I could because their counter-offer had made my offer null and void. If they hadn't taken my offer when it was on the table it was their loss. They challenged me and threatened legal action to make me honor it. I told them to go ahead and go to court. Their attorney's recommended they drop it because they knew I was right, but they insisted and the case was pursued. Finally they got a lesson when the judge told them I was right, that their counter-offer cancelled out my previous offer and I had no obligation to honor it. They ended up settling for the last offer I made, which was much better for my company (and still a good deal for them, even though they wanted better).
The Republicans can do the very same thing. Now that Obama has rejected it they don't have to honor it. They need to quit negotiating with themselves by continually coming up with new offers every time he rejects them. They need to stop and say to Obama that they have made their offers and now the ball is in his court. The Politico article I cited earlier implied that it was now the Republicans' responsibility to come back with yet again another offer for the President. No, it's not. They need to tell Obama that they will await an offer from him and then shut up and wait.
By continually returning with new offers the Republicans only weaken their position. The president knows that if he waits long enough they will cave in (and most likely they will because they have a track record of failure in things like this). They need to give him a taste of his own medicine. Make him feel the heat. And when the media try to blame them they need to expose the lies that the administration and Democrats in Congress continue to tell. They need to grow a spine and take a stand.
And that's why it's up to us as voters to make it clear to them that if they don't get back to defunding Obamacare, instead of giving away everything, that we will vote them out of office. We can and should replace them. A recent poll says that 60% of Americans believe that every member of Congress should be replaced. While there are a couple dozen, maybe even a few dozen worth keeping between both houses of Congress, even if we lost them we'd be better off because we would be rid of the 400-500 that are worthless and destroying our country.
This is our chance to make them feel the heat. Obama has given us a short time to take advantage of the situation. It will only take hours or a couple days when they reconvene Monday evening for them to get on track to giving even more away. Don't let them do it! Start calling and emailing immediately them immediately!

25 States, Cities, Counties Join to Defend EPA's Plan
By Solar Industry Magazine
Led by the office of New York State Attorney General (AG) Eric T. Schneiderman, a coalition of 25 states, cities and counties has filed a motion to defend the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan against legal challenge.
The motion to intervene in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit responds to suits that several states and industry groups have filed challenging the federal initiative, which aims to cut carbon emissions from the power sector 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. This includes increasing the electricity generation from non-emitting renewable sources, such as wind and solar.
Joining Schneiderman are the states of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Cities include the District of Columbia; New York; Boulder, Colo.; Chicago; Philadelphia; and South Miami, Fla., as well as Broward County, Fla.
The EPA adopted the Clean Power Plan through a multiyear stakeholder process that drew heavily on the experience of states and utilities in reducing power plant greenhouse-gas emissions. Numerous states, including New York, have already taken roles in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by moving forward with their own programs, says the AG.

"The EPA's Clean Power Plan is a critical step forward in responding to the threat of climate change," Schneiderman says. "The rule is firmly grounded in science and the law. The rule incorporates successful strategies New York and other states have used to cut climate change pollution from power plants while maintaining electricity reliability, holding the line on utility bills and growing our economies. We are committed to aggressively defending the Clean Power Plan to ensure progress is made in confronting climate change."
New York and eight other states are part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which has reduced regional carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector by 40 percent from 2005 levels. According to the AG, an independent analysis found that in the first three years of the RGGI program, the reinvestment of allowance auction proceeds is reducing total energy bills across the region by $1.3 billion and adding $1.6 billion to the regional economy, as well as creating an estimated 16,000 jobs in the process.

It is increasingly recognised that improving the quality and quantity of children's services is an essential part of any long-term strategy to tackle poverty and social exclusion among children. As part of its wider programme to address child poverty in England, Save The Children commissioned this review of expenditure to examine how much is spent on children, particularly poor children, on major public services – education, health, social care, and housing – as well as social security. The results give an indication of the priority this government attaches to meeting the needs of children, in particular poor children, which can be set alongside evidence on outcomes for children, including trends in child poverty, children's health and educational outcomes.

Q: Can an integer be splitted and encoded into alphabets? There is an encoding scheme where integer 1 encodes character 'A', integer 2 encodes character 'B' and so on till integer 26 which encodes character 'Z'. With this encoding scheme,we should program to count all possible decodings of a given digit sequence
For example, if the digit sequence is "12" then there are two possible decodings for this - One of them is 'AB' when we decode 1 as 'A' and 2 as 'B'. Now we can also decode this digit sequence "12" as 'L' when we decode digits 1 and 2 taken together as an integer 12.
Similarly for digit sequence "1223" there are five possible decodings.
1, 2, 2, 3 - ABBC
1, 2, 23 - ABW
1, 22, 3 - AVC
12, 2, 3 - LBC
12, 23 - LW
For digit sequence "1234" there are three possible decodings.
1, 2, 3, 4 - ABCD
1, 23, 4 - AWD
12, 3, 4 - LBD
Note that because integer 34 does not have any valid decoding, we cannot decode "1234" as 1,2,34 or as 12,34 where digits 3 and 4 are decoded together(as an integer 34) to some character.
Few assumptions that we can make here

*

*Number of possible decodings for an empty sequence is 0.

*There would be no 0's at the very beginning of digit sequence. That means, no digit sequence would start from digit 0.

*There would be no two or more consecutive 0's in the digit sequence.

*The digit sequence would be formed by only using digits from 0-9.
[The below code can encode only four digit number. I was trying to improve it for any random digit without violating the assumptions but at last i was out of moves
#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n,r,a[4],i=0,j,k,l,m,h,t;
    printf("enter the 4 digit no \n");
    scanf("%d",&n);
    while(n!=0)
    {
        r=n%10;
        a[i]=r;
        n=n/10;
        i++;
    }
    m=a[0];
    l=a[1];
    k=a[2];
    j=a[3];
    printf("%d %d %d %d\n",j,k,l,m);
    if (j==0||((k==0&&l==0)||(l==0&&m==0)))
        printf("INVALID CODE");
    else{
        if (k>0&&m>0)
            printf("%c%c%c%c\n",64+j,64+k,64+l,64+m);
        t=(l*10)+m;
        if (t<=26&&k>0)
            printf("%c%c%c\n",64+j,64+k,64+t);
        t=(k*10)+l;
        if ((k>0&&t<=26)&&m>0)
            printf("%c%c%c\n",64+j,64+t,64+m);
        t=(j*10)+k;
        if (t<=26&&m>0)
            printf("%c%c%c\n",64+t,64+l,64+m);
        h=(l*10)+m;
        if(t<=26 && h<=26)
            printf("%c%c\n",64+t,64+h);
    }
    return 0;

Die Operation Arc Light fand während des Vietnam-Krieges statt und wurde von der USAF ausgeführt. Ziel dieser Operation war es, ständig mehrere schwere Bomber in schneller Bereitschaft zu halten, um den Bodentruppen ggf. schwere taktische Luftunterstützung geben zu können.
Aus politischen und logistischen Gründen schied Vietnam selbst als Operationsbasis für die schweren Bomber aus. Daher entschied man sich für Guam im Pazifik. Da die Anflugzeiten allerdings sehr lang waren, wurden ständig einige B-52 in der Luft vor Vietnam in Bereitschaft gehalten, um ggf. Unterstützung leisten zu können.

This just crossed my mind so I thought I'd share. Maybe some police officers will see it and take it to their commanders and see if the idea has merit.
In an increasing trend police departments across the United States are using text messages to help fight crime and have set up a text message service that allows citizens to report any crimes that they see. While this is fine and dandy, it crossed my mind for another option.
Why couldn't the police initiate the text when a crime has occured?
Step 1 – Citizens voluntarily sign up to be on a city police department's automated text broadcast. Call it a volunteer Police Citizen Watch.
Step 2 – A crime occurs. Let's say it is a carjacking or bank robbery. The police send out the details, suspect description, last known direction headed, car description, etc. to the text broadcast list. Instantly, the police have hundreds, maybe thousands, of additional eyes scanning the city.
Step 3 – Citizens see the message and are instantly on alert and odds are, one or more of these citizens will spot the bad guy and text back to the police the location and details.
The technology is here to do this. Seems like a pretty good idea to me. What do you think?


Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, Amicalola State Park is a wonderful get-away spot for busy Atlantans. The park boasts a beautiful waterfall, nature center and an approach hike for the Appalachian Trail. Campsites are high atop the mountain but you can also overnight at the lodge or the rustic Hike Inn, which is accessed by a five mile hike along the approach trail to the AT.
Find Amicalola about an hour and a half north of Atlanta. Taking I-75 north to I-575 then continuing onto Free Hope Church Road, Highway 53, Steve Tate Road and Highway 136. You will find the park in Dawson County.
The Park includes 829 acres in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest. It is a hikers paradise with a variety of trails including the approach to the Applachian Trail. The climb to the top of 700 foot high Amicalola Falls certainly qualifies as a hike, crossing bridges in front of the falls, and climbing wooden stairs to the top. The Park includes a nature center and gift shop as well as the Amicalola Lodge with spectacular views from its lobby, restaurant and patio. Nearby is Dawsonville and Dahlonega for shopping restaurants and additional activities.
Amicalola offers 24 wooded campsites, located at the top of a steep hill. The winding road to the campground sports a 25% incline. The sites are tucked into the hillside but none view the falls. The sites are fairly level, well maintained, and provide electricity, water, picnic table, grill and fire ring at each site. Shower facilities and dump station are also available within the campground.
The Park also offers cabins for rent in the campground area, the Amicalola Lodge set on the top of the mountain, or the rustic Len Foote Hike Inn, which is accessed along the approach trail to the Applachian Trail.

Capitate is the first one and Pisiform is the last one to ossify.
It is congenital elevation of the scapula, is a complex deformity of the shoulder and is the most common congenital shoulder abnormality.
Sprengel deformity is usually noticed at birth and has both cosmetic and functional implications. The elevated scapula is visually noticeable and there is an associated restriction in the motion of the scapula and glenohumeral joint.
An omovertebral bar (fibrous, cartilaginous and/or osseous connection between the scapula and cervical spine) is often present.
It is also commonly associated with hypoplasia or atrophy of regional muscles, and these associated features can cause further misshaping of the shoulder and limitation of shoulder movement.

Black Tea by Stephen Morris
Black Tea is a book about Russia that starts in London at the height of the Cold War and ends on a beach in Crimea forty years later. It takes those elements of the writer's life that were forged into something new during the disruption and breakup of the Soviet Union and its aftermath, to create a different kind of memoir based on reflections, memory, and a narration that starts in England and leads the reader on a journey through Russia from the White Sea to the Caucasus. It tells two stories, one that begins in suburban England in the 70s, and one that traces the course of a love affair in Moscow twenty years later.
They are narrated during the course of a journey through Russia at the time of the commemorations for the hundred-year anniversary of the revolution in 2017. The book comes to terms with what has been described as the central lacuna in twentieth-century thought – the tacit support for communism by Western intellectuals. It describes the author's father's support of Russia and his activism on behalf of nuclear disarmament in the 1970s, and contrasts this with his grandmother's stark warnings of the evils of socialism, and his own ambiguous position growing up in the suburbs outside London, a position that was for many years dominated, in spirit, by a huge military map of the Soviet Union tacked to his bedroom wall.
In the first section of the book the author leaves England to visit his family in Russia. They go on a camping trip to the White Sea, driving north on the Archangel Road to the old labour camp on the island of Solovki. The camping holiday comes to an end in the breakfast bar of a chalet-hotel.
And so begins an extended journey alone. Morris drives back to Moscow, to the flat where he once lived and which is now empty but still full of memories. He tells the story of the August coup of 1991 and the October disturbances two years later, of the tanks on the streets, the bombardment of the Russian parliament building, and the partisan welcome I received during the nights of troubles from those people who felt they were fighting against the reactionary forces of repression.
From Moscow he takes a train south to the Caucasus. He reflects on the emotional end of his own marriage and on the death of his father and grandmother. Morris travels to Astrakhan, the failed final destination of Hitler's sixth army who were desperate to reach the oil fields.
From Astrakhan he takes a bus to Elbrus, the highest peak in the Caucasus and then continues on to Grozny, a destroyed city, now rebuilt but still festering from its wounds. The final stage in the journey takes him to Crimea, the scene of his own love-story, and the destination over years of countless Russian and Soviet lovers and would-be lovers, looking for happiness in the coves and dark-sand beaches along the Black Sea coast. Highly informed with a unique perspective, Black Tea chronicles the changing face of Russia over his thirty years there.
A reflection and a travelogue, Steve Morris hauntingly explores love and identity, commitment and family.

ZPMC Sells Products to the 104th Country and Region
Recently, ZPMC won the bid for 6 port machinery projects of French Bollore Group. ZPMC will deliver its equipment to Timor port of Timor-Leste, marking its sale of products to the 104th country and region in the world.
The project includes 2 quay cranes and 4 electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes, which adopt the latest port machinery technology and control system in the world. With an outreach distance of 50 meters and the rated lifting capacity of 65 tons, the quay crane can easily handle the loading and unloading of super Panamax large container liner. With a span of 26 meters and a lifting height of 18.2 meters, the rubber-tyred gantry crane adopting the latest cable reel power supply system is also one of ZPMC's best products. The equipment is scheduled to be delivered in 2022, which will facilitate container handling and transportation in Timor-Leste.
This is the 9th time that Bollore Group has purchased port machinery equipment from ZPMC. Up to now, ZPMC has provided more than 40 units of port machinery equipment for Bollore Group's terminals in Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, Sierra Leone, Togo, Congo, Ghana and other countries, providing assistance for the logistics and maritime transportation business of the group.
Affected by the COVID-19, ZPMC's overseas orders slump this year. And this bid winning greatly boosts ZPMC's confidence in expanding overseas markets and carrying out overseas business.


Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty or SLT is a form of laser used to lower the pressure in the eye for glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is used when the eye drop medications are not lowering the pressure enough or when the medications used are causing side effects. It is also sometimes used as an initial treatment for glaucoma.
SLT has been used for at least a decade in other countries such as the USA and about 5 years in the UK. This article is written to answer the common questions patients ask regarding the treatment and the clinical experience of users around the world.
1. Who is a candidate for SLT?
Patients who have open-angle glaucoma - the drainage system in the front of the eye is open but who require further intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering are eligible for the procedure. Your ophthalmic consultant will make the final determination if you are a candidate.
Laser energy is applied to the drainage tissue in the eye. This starts a chemical and biological change in the tissue that results in better drainage channels out of the eye. This should result in the lowering of IOP. It may take 1-3 months for the improvements to appear.
3. Why is it called selective?
The type of laser used has minimal heat energy absorption because it is only taken up by selective pigmented tissue in the eye. Sometimes it is referred to as "cold laser". Because of this, the procedure produces less scar tissues and minimal pain.
4. How long does the effect last?
This treatment will generally last between 1-5 years and in rare cases longer than that. If it does not last at least 6-12 months it is not usually considered successful.
5. What happens if it wears off?
If the SLT is effective in lowering the IOP but wears off after several years the procedure can be repeated but the second treatment may not be as effective as the first and may not last as long. If SLT has not been successful, a repeat treatment is unlikely to work.
6. What happens if it does not work?
If SLT fails to lower IOP glaucoma medication can be used or alternatively conventional surgery. The laser does not affect the success of these types of treatment.
7. Will I still need to use glaucoma medication?
Some patients can be controlled with laser treatment alone. Others will require additional IOP lowering and may therefore, need to use glaucoma medication as well. It is best to think of SLT as equivalent to one medication. Just as some patients will require more than one type of medication to control their IOP some may require laser and medication.

We have a story idea for our newest Top Ten contributor, Sue Miller: Imagine a forty-something writer who, after years devoted to rearing a family, finishes her first book and wakes up one morning to find this review in the New York Times:
"Every once in a while, a first novelist rockets into the literary atmosphere with a novel so accomplished that it shatters the common assumption that for a writer to have mastery, he or she must serve a long, auspicious apprenticeship. The novel arrives, all its parts gleaming, ticking, and we are filled with awe. However did the novice learn to build this thing? We marvel. But the question is beside the point, which is that the thing exists, has form, energy and power."
Miller won't have to strain her imagination because – surprise! - she is the author, and the glowing review was for her debut novel about the risks and responsibilities of love, The Good Mother (1986).
On second thought, maybe it isn't such a good idea, because we also know what the writer did next: published nine more acclaimed novels, including Family Pictures (1990), While I Was Gone (1999), The Senator's Wife (2008) and The Arsonist (2014); a short story collection, Inventing the Abbotts (1997), and a memoir, The Story of My Father (2003). Her numerous honors include a Guggenheim and a Radcliffe Institute Fellowship. She is a committed advocate for the writer's engagement with society at large, having held a position on the Board of PEN-American Center.
In those works, Miller has expertly unspooled high-tension, hot button plots - involving molestation and murder, blackmail, betrayal, arson and terrorism - with what Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times called a "Chekhovian understanding of missed connections, lost opportunities, and closely held memories that mutate slowly over time."
In a 1993 article in Ploughshares, Don Lee prompted Miller to discuss the challenges of teaching fiction writing at Boston University, MIT, Tufts and other schools. Lee began by observing:
"Though Miller has no interest in being prescriptive – deeming what is right or wrong -- she wants to nudge the reader into speculating about the moral dimensions of his or her life. These convictions sometimes led to frustrations when Miller taught writing. 'Often students would be very good writers but would be clueless as to the importance of tension in fiction, what drama or struggle means.' As a frame for discussion, she would cite Flannery O'Connor's belief that every good story is, in some sense, the soul's journey around a dragon. 'Although all her stories were Catholic,' Miller says, 'I do think that stories tend to be about the human spirit, even though they might not be in those religious terms. It seems to me that most writers do, in fact, try to pose a problem for a character that will expose his spiritual crisis, expose him in the moment when he confronts the issues that are central to who he is and what he is doing here on this earth. So I would ask my students: What is the drama that compels this material? What do you think this character's dragon is? What is he running from? What does he need to defeat in order to become fully human? Do you want him to succeed or fail?' "
