Synopsis: Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all-he's running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-and everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.
Release Date: August 19, 2011 MPAA Rating: PG-13
Genre(s): Horror,
Charley Brewster (The Beaver's Anton Yelchin) is a normal high school kid living in suburban Las Vegas. He's got a cool mom (Toni Collette from The Sixth Sense), a hot girlfriend named Amy (Imogen Poots from 28 Weeks Later) and a vampire that just moved in next door to him. Charley's friend Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who was Red Mist in Kick-Ass) tries to warn him about his new neighbor, a charming stud named Jerry Dandridge (Colin Farrell from Horrible Bosses), but Charley doesn't believe him. One by one the families from the neighborhood disappear, and soon Charley accepts the truth about Jerry: that he is a vampire. Along with Amy, Charley enlists the help of a Las Vegas showman and "vampire hunter" named Peter Vincent (David Tennant, the Doctor himself from the BBC's "Doctor Who"), who Charley quickly learns is nothing more than an illusionist and a fraud. Nonetheless, Peter is all the help that Charley and Amy have as they fight to save the neighborhood and themselves from Jerry.
Fright Night is a fairly faithful remake of the campy 1985 film of the same name. Director Craig Gillespie (Mr. Woodcock) takes screenwriter Marti Noxon's (I Am Number Four) update of Tom Holland's (the man who also brought the world Child's Play) initial story and turns the volume up. The acting is upgraded immensely from the original, so the reboot is more of a traditional horror film than a campy b-movie tribute. Fright Night is still the same cool vampire flick, but with the upgraded production values it just looks slicker. This is how horror movie reboots should be – fix the flaws in the original film without compromising the fun.
Cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe is no stranger to vampire films, having worked on both New Moon and Eclipse in the Twilight series. Fright Night is a different kind of vampire movie than Twilight, and the experienced Aguirresarobe figures this out. He uses shadows and reflections in creative ways that give the picture a dark feel without obscuring details. For example, Aguirresarobe will frequently shoot characters from the other side of a window, with the reflection from the glass patterning across the principal's face. It adds a unique detail to the shot without taking anything away from the actor's performance.
There is one scene in particular where Charley, Amy and Charley's mom are fleeing the city in a car, trying to get away from Jerry. Of course the car crashes, and the camera inside the car drifts seemingly in circles around the faces of the characters while they panic, adding to the tension and confusion of an already well-written scene. It is decisions like this that make the cinematography in Fright Night stand out, subtle one minute and smash-mouth the next.
Fright Night was shot in 3D, and the effect is more textural than anything else. The 3D adds depth and dimension to the shots, and is particularly effective when coupled with Aguirresarobe's use of selective focus and depth of field. Every once in a while the 3D will get gimmicky (like with hands reaching, or arrows flying towards the viewer), but for the most part the 3D is done tastefully and not obnoxiously.
Scary Factor
Being more of a pure horror film than the original, Fright Night is scarier, and not just in the jump and jolt way. The character of Jerry seems invincible, and when he is chasing after Charley and his friends, his pursuit is relentless. Add his vampire minions into the equation, and the sum is a different kind of vampire than what audiences have been given lately – Jerry is not a sensitive lover, he's a ruthless killer. When he transforms from his handsome human form to his ugly vampire form, the viewer can feel his rage and can't help but be afraid. Even the vampire fighting weapons that Peter Vincent brings into the picture are mostly useless against him, and that makes Jerry the archetypical formidable antagonist – invincible, unstoppable, and evil. His look is not unique enough for him to be remembered as one of the classic horror villains, but he is the type of character that people check under their beds and in their closets for before they go to sleep.

Le Unterseeboot 35 (U-35) est un sous-marin allemand de classe U 31 qui opéra en Méditerranée pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il s'est avéré être le sous-marin le plus titré participant à la Première Guerre mondiale, coulant  pour un total de  métriques.

Son capitaine ayant servi le plus longtemps fut Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière. Sous son commandement, le U-35 coula , faisant de lui le commandant de sous-marin le plus titré de l'histoire.

Il ne faut pas le confondre avec un autre U-35 qui fut construit en 1936 et souvent appelé le « bateau malchanceux » (voir Unterseeboot 35 (1936)).

Son équipage se composait de .

Description
L'U-35 fut commandé en 1912 aux chantiers Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft à Kiel. Il fut lancé le .

Il fut l'un des premiers à être équipé par deux moteurs Diesel, en remplacement des moteurs à huile lourde qui équipaient précédemment les sous-marins, lui permettant la navigation en surface. Ainsi, il peut parcourir un peu plus de  à . En plongée, deux moteurs électriques lui permettent d'atteindre cinq nœuds sur une distance de .

Mesurant  de long, il est équipé de  lance-torpilles ; deux à l'avant et deux à l'arrière. Il peut transporter . Il possède un canon de  sur son pont.

Quatre commandants gouvernèrent à sa destinée :
 Du  au , Waldemar Kophamel.
 Du  au , Lothaire von Arnauld de la Perière.
 Du  au , Ernst von Voigt.
 Du  au  Heino von Heimburg

Jusqu'au , il fit partie de la flotte allemande en mer du Nord. Le 23 août, en provenance d'Heligoland, il arriva au port de Cattaro en Méditerranée. En tout, le U-35 effectua  durant lesquelles il coula , ce qui est un record absolu qui ne fut jamais atteint depuis.

Courant , l'U-35 aurait transporté deux chameaux, des cadeaux de la tribu Senussi pour le Kaiser, si on en croit Edwyn Gray dans The U-boat War, 1914-18.

Le , von Arnault entra dans le port de Carthagène pour remettre une lettre du Kaiser, Guillaume II au roi Alphonse XIII d'Espagne.

L'Allemagne entame des négociations avec les puissances de l'Entente en vue de la paix. Ces tentatives n'ayant eu aucun succès, le Kaiser ordonne, le , la guerre sous-marine sans restriction contre l'avis du chancelier Bethmann-Hollweg. En conséquence, à dater du , les sous-marins allemands torpilleront tout navire.

Après les armistices conclus avec l'Empire ottoman le  et l'Empire austro-hongrois le , les sous-marins de Méditerranée reçurent l'ordre de regagner l'Allemagne par le détroit de Gibraltar. Ceux qui ne pouvaient pas reprendre la mer devaient se saborder. Le U-35 fut capturé le  à Ferrol (Espagne). Puis, il est rendu à la France. Enfin, la France le donne au Royaume-Uni qui le détruit en 1919 à Blyth.

Liste de bateaux attaqués par U-35

Commandant Waldemar Kophamel
 , le transport de troupes britannique Ramazan () est coulé à l'ouest de la Crète, 306 disparus.

 , le garde cote égyptien Abbas est coulé et le Nur El Bahr est endommagé par le canon du U-15.
 , le transport de troupe Marquette fut coulé sur la route entre l'Égypte et le golfe de Salonique. Sont morts 10 infirmières Néo-zélandaises, 18 soldats du New Zealand Medical Corps, 110 soldats britanniques et 29 hommes d'équipage.
 , le pétrolier britannique Lumina () est coulé à 120 milles au sud-est de la Crète; durant le même incident, le navire marchand britannique Clan Macalister () est capturé.

The territory of Dorgali in the east-central part of the island has the very essence of Sardinia within its 225 square kilometres.
The landscape varies through a succession of green valleys and hills, forests and rugged mountains, with hidden mysterious caves and dolinas (natural depressions). On the coast, imposing limestone cliffs overlook the crystal-clear sea and luxuriant vegetation alternates with bare rock around coves and white sand beaches.
The territory is so well-endowed with its geology and archaeology, its plants and animals, that it can satisfy many interests. This ancient land is made up of granite, limestone and basalt rocks, and they have created captivating landscapes. Each rock formation is characterized by its flora: in the basalt and granite plateaus there are uncultivated pastures and Mediterranean maquis made up of trees, shrubs and plants such as mastic, wild olive, euphorbia, holm-oak, arbutus, myrtle and many others.
In the limestone highlands there are thick forests of juniper and holm-oaks. Among them, the beautiful "cuiles" (traditional shepherds' huts built of limestone rocks and juniper trunks) stand out with all their charm.
This wild and unspoiled environment is the natural habitat of many species of animals including rare fauna that still survives here.
The territory is a precious attraction for nature lovers, but also for those who are interested in archaeology. Indeed, it has a particular archaeological wealth, offering a wide choice of monuments and archaelogical sites dating from the Neolithic age to the Middle Ages. Many caves have been used as dwellings or as tombs since the most remote antiquity, constituting an important archeological treasure together with the domus de janas, dolmens, giants' tombs, nuraghi, nuragic villages and wells.
These sites are scattered throughout the territory, even in the most inaccessible mountain areas and on the coasts, where remains left by Punic and Roman conquerors are still visible. The sites have given up a remarkable quantity of archaeological relics. Many can be seen in the Archaeological Museum of Dorgali and they help to reconstruct much of the history of this territory which, however, still contains a lot of hidden treasures and surprises.
From the 1950s Dorgali and Cala Gonone have been among the most well-known places in Sardinia. Much of Dorgali's importance is based on the presence of Cala Gonone, the attractive seaside locality connected to the town in 1925 by a road tunnel. The first people to colonize the area of Cala Gonone came in the Nuragic age, and more waves came in Roman times and in the Middle Ages. Around 1700 the little port became a point for the exchange of commodities with the mainland, and in the 19th century, families from Nuoro began to spend their summer holidays here, launching its new role as a seaside resort.
DORGALI: one of the most interesting towns of Sardinia, it is on the eastern border of the Barbagia and its environment has many unique characteristics. This uniqueness was the reason why more than a quarter of the town's territory (60sqkm) was contributed towards creating the Gennargentu and Gulf of Orosei Park. Set at the foot of Mount Bardia, Dorgali is visible from many peaks in the Barbagia, and shows in the distance as a white site on a green background.
CALA GONONE: the tourist centre is reached by the road tunnel cut through the saddle formed on the north by Mount Bardia and on the south by Mount Tului. At the end of the tunnel, the village comes into view 400 metres below, beyond a great forest of evergreen oaks. At the centre of the Gulf of Orosei, this is the sea border of the Supramonte and for more than 40 kilometres, from the beach of Cartoe south to Pedra Longa at Baunei, virtually all this coastline is accessible only on foot or by boat.

Indians inferior; Modi must not visit Arunachal: Chinese media article
Ordinary Indians are inferior, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not visit Arunachal Pradesh and the Indian government was reluctant to admit that the widening trade gap with China was its own fault, a caustic Chinese state media article said on Tuesday.
Two days before Modi's arrival in China, the article was published on Tuesday in the Communist Party of China (CPC) organ People's Daily-run, Global Times newspaper. It claimed New Delhi could pull down bilateral ties to the level of "vicious competition" and that India was trying to exploit the opportunities of economic development created by China in South Asia.
The opinion piece was written by Hu Zhiyong with the respected Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. It cannot be assumed that this savagely critical opinion is universally held in the corridors of power in Beijing but the texture and timing of the write-up does throw light on how India and Modi are looked at, at least among some in the strategic circles in China.
Hu wrote that for diplomatic ties to improve, India has to do the following: "…Modi should no longer visit the disputed border region in pursuit of his own political interests, nor should he deliver any remarks that infringe on the consensus on bilateral ties. Meanwhile, the Indian government should completely stop supporting the Dalai Lama, and stop making the Tibetan issue a stumbling block to the Sino-Indian relationship".
Modi, the opinion piece said, had been "…playing little tricks over border disputes and security issues, hoping to boost his domestic prestige while increasing his leverage in negotiations with China".
Hu claimed if the Prime Minister was a trickster, the ordinary people of India were no better.
"Due to the Indian elites' blind arrogance and confidence in their democracy, and the inferiority of its ordinary people, very few Indians are able to treat Sino-Indian relations accurately, objectively and rationally," it said.
And, in a point, that could well be said of some opinions held in the Chinese media, it added: "Worse, some Indian media have been irresponsibly exaggerating the conflicts between the two sides, adding fuel to the hostility among the public".
On the ever-widening trade imbalance between the two countries, Hu wrote:
"When it comes to the economic ties, despite the fact that China has already become India's largest trading partner, India's trade deficit with China keeps rising sharply. New Delhi is reluctant to admit the widening trade gap is its own fault, nor is it willing to examine its own economic structure and the quality of its exports to China. Instead, it has been repeatedly accusing or directing its anger at China."

Crowfoot was a Blackfoot Indian leader of the 19th century. His Blackfoot name was Isapo-Muxika (also spelled Sahpo Muxika, Issapoo-Mahksika, Issapóómahksika, Is'sapomahksika, and other ways,) which literally means "Large Crow Foot." As was typical of Plains Indian men, Crowfoot actually went by many different names during his lifetime, including Bear Spirit and Packs A Knife. Crowfoot was a family name he inherited after his elder brother's death. Crowfoot was born into the Kainai (Blood) tribe of Alberta, but joined the Siksika tribe as a child when his widowed mother married a Siksika warrior, and later grew up to become chief of the Siksikas. Crowfoot was known as both a warrior and as a skilled diplomat who successfully negotiated peace between Canada's government and the Blackfoot tribes. Chief Crowfoot died of illness in 1890.

East Anglian Daily Times > Things to do
Stephen Walton:
Andrew Clarke
Published: 5:00 PM May 6, 2010
Stephen Walton is sitting in the restaurant of The Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds. He looks approvingly around him at the walls, more accurately at the pictures on the walls. He says that not only are the pictures good but they are hung well.
He points out that hanging pictures is an art in itself. If pictures are placed badly then colours, media or even the subject matter can clash and draw the viewer's eye away from what you are supposed to be looking at.
When a collection is as diverse as the one on show inside The Angel's dining room then it takes an expert to hang this much art and not have various pictures compete for attention.
Stephen says the trick is to let a picture breathe. Give it enough room, enough space on the wall, for it to make a statement without detracting from its neighbour.
The reason for his interest in the art on the walls is that he acquired the eclectic collection for hotelier Robert Gough. It's a wonderful snapshot of art from the last four decades.
As with all his work, Stephen's decisions as what to buy and what to promote are governed by his personal taste, developed through many years of loving art, visiting galleries and by talking to various artists and listening to what they had to say.
He has developed a fine eye, he trusts his own judgement, but he doesn't always agree with the so-called cognoscenti. Gut-instinct plays a big part and it's served him well over the years.
Around the Angel restaurant Norman Parkinson photographs nestle alongside a page from Oz magazine. A large Connie Stubbs portrait of local character Jack Eli Knights stares across the room at a tiny publicity picture of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in the cult TV series The Avengers, while on the wall facing the door is Richard Merkin's large scale Homage to Nathaniel West. It commands our attention but doesn't overpower its neighbours.
This is what Stephen means by the art of hanging pictures. It's about more than seeing if the frames are straight.
"You can mix old and new. You can put posters next to watercolours, mixed media next to photographs. It's a question of stepping back, taking your time and seeing what looks right. It's about not being afraid of the quirky.
"We have a photographic contact sheet from Eve Arnold's shoot on The Misfits sitting along a French oil painting by Claude Garnanjourd. It a question of putting it on the wall and seeing what works – and not being afraid to experiment."
During the past 30 years Stephen has been an ever-present figure on the East Anglian arts scene.
He started off in the traditional manner as a stage manager at the Bury Theatre Royal, he moved to the Cambridge Arts Theatre, took an Arts Council administration course which saw him help to oversee the building of the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich in the late 1970s, before teaming up with county dance advisor Scilla Dyke to create Suffolk Dance which has now become DanceEast.
He also championed the Royal Ballet's Ballet For All scheme in the 1970s before returning to Bury to manage the Theatre Royal.
Then, having got itchy feet, he moved on to work with The Oxford Stage Company, Phoenix Theatre, Leicester and the Arts Theatre and Arts Cinema in Cambridge.
"But, during all that I had always had a love of art and slowly and surely that love has grown until I wanted to start producing my own shows.
"I wanted to find new artists, local artists and champion them.
"Suffolk and East Anglia has a host of talented artists, both young and not-so-young working away behind the hedgerows in small villages and towns, working away in studios in their homes and no-one really knows they are there. Suffolk has a gold mine of art and talent which really does deserve to be celebrated."
It's not surprising given his theatre and performing arts background that for Stephen every picture, every work of art has a story to tell. It's the magic clash of story and visuals which so bewitched him as a young man and led him into the theatre.
Now that same intoxicating concoction is weaving its spell again leading him into the world of art.
Stephen Walton has closed down his former gallery in Hatter Street, Bury St Edmunds, and has taken on a hire agreement with The Edmund Gallery attached to St Edmundsbury Cathedral. It's a new space and it has the freshness that Stephen has been looking for to display his new crop of rising artists.
"The aim is to create a regional gallery but with a national reputation. At the moment I can't decide whether it is best to be peripatetic; switching between Bury, Norwich, Cambridge, Ipswich... or settle in one place.
"At the moment I feel that it might be best to hire a space in different towns in order to get a feel for the whole region. But, who knows? I won't know until I have tried. That's the thing about what I do. It's all about doing things that feel right."
He rents the St Edmunds Gallery for 12 weeks and is looking to stage similar exhibition in other large regional towns.
His fascination with unknown East Anglian artists didn't happen deliberately. "I sort of happened by accident. They are all artists who I happened to stumble across really at one event or another and I was really taken with their work and I felt that someone should start shouting about them.
"Suffolk has this rabbit warren of creative talent and we need to bring them to the surface."
His first exhibition was a posthumous exhibition for artist Dick Lee which he hopes to tour round Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridge.
"But, there is a lot of energy around in Bury at the moment. As a town it's really starting to come alive again. It's a really exciting town to be a part of... the theatre, festival, the cathedral. The whole town has a vitality to it which makes it very attractive."
Stephen's next exhibition is by rising artist Simon Carter. He described Simon as someone who is central to his campaign to raise the profile of East Anglian artists.
"He's a great guy, a wonderful painter and he's really starting to make a name for himself. His next exhibition is all work which he's completed on a trip to California. It's a really unique view on an area we all think we know so well. His work strikes you like a breath of fresh air.
"I went to see the pictures about three weeks ago. As he got them out my right leg started tingling. They were so good I just couldn't wait to see them up on the wall.
"He'd had them photographed but no matter how good the photographs are, there's nothing like seeing a painting in front of you. You get the impact and the colours are so fresh, so powerful, so vibrant. It just makes you feel really excited."
He believes in all the arts, magic is required to make a viewer of a picture or an audience at the theatre engage with the work in front of them.
"It's a form of alchemy and it's very rare for anyone to be able to articulate how that magic happens. It's something which is almost lost in the moment. People shy away from analysing it too much for fear that the magic will be lost and we won't be able to recreate it again.
"But, it's true for all art forms, theatre, music, dance, certainly in the visual arts – it's the moment you engage with your audience. The moment there is communication, the moment you view the picture or view the performance.
"Whether the art works is largely down to whether the alchemy works.
"There is a real fear among artists that if you over analyse a work of art you will lose the magic. You will be tempted to try and create another work that tries to conjure the same effect – and, of course, the fear is that the magic won't be there. It won't work."
Stephen sees his role as a gallery owner to support the artist and encourage their development.
"Of course there is a balance between encouraging new work and being able to sell it. But, I am not one of those gallery owners who dictates to their artists: 'Do some more like that last lot, I sold a load of those.' The artist has done that, they've moved on and as an art lover myself, I want to see what they are going to do next.
"I don't want to see them trapped in a rut, forever repeating themselves. It's not good for them, it's not good for their art and therefore it's not good for me as a gallery owner."
He thinks the wonderful thing about artists like Simon Carter they are incapable of repeating themselves.
"I have known him since he was a postman, painting in his spare time. He paints what he sees. Everyone is different. He can't repeat himself. It's not how he sees the world."
Stephen moved from the theatre to fine art 25 years ago, when he became friends with Christopher Penny, a lecturer and artist who loved Suffolk landscapes, "and it was through him that I met the arty/ painty world and my love and fascination for it grew.
"After I left Cambridge I was going for interviews and I remember I came back from somewhere like Buxton and I had four children at various stages by that point from my eldest doing A levels to the youngest barely running around and I thought why do I want to move away from here? My family are settled, my friends are here? Why do I want to move to Derbyshire?
"Of course I didn't. So it was very much a personal decision and it opened up a whole new life for me but one which had been bubbling away under the surface for a very long time."
n On The Road – Paintings of California by Simon Carter is at the St Edmunds Gallery, next to St Edmundsbury Cathedral from May 8-26.

Hope for N.H. Recovery Already Serving Hundreds at New Manchester Space
By Paige Sutherland • Dec 9, 2016
Hope for N.H. Recovery has officially moved to its new location in Manchester, which has roughly 9,000 square footage.
Paige Sutherland/NHPR
A new peer recovery center for addiction has opened its doors in Manchester. In the past week, the nonprofit Hope for New Hampshire Recovery has seen roughly 230 people a day.
Listen to the broadcast version of this story.
The building, the former home of Hoitt Furniture, was bought and renovated by two local businessmen as a one-stop hub for addiction services.
Hope for New Hampshire Recovery is the first provider to occupy the three-floor building. The second and third floors of the new building are planned for supportive housing and clinical treatment.
The organization's recovery coaches are themselves in long-term recovery and are licensed to provide advice and support to those battling substance abuse and connect them with services.
Peer recovery is part of the state's long term plan to battle herpin and opioid addiction. Last month, the Executive Council approved roughly $500,000 in funding for three recovery centers operated by Hope.
During Friday's ribbon cutting in Manchester, several policymakers and elected officials, including Gov. Maggie Hassan, applauded the nonprofit for its work.
"The really important thing that the recovery community has done is really remind people that there's no room for stigma in this fight," she said to loud cheers. "There is absolutely no room for stigma in this fight."
Hope for New Hampshire Recovery also has recovery centers in Berlin, Claremont, Newport, Franklin and Concord.

Drug Monitoring Program Records Significant Drop in Painkiller Prescriptions
By Brian Wallstin • Nov 28, 2016
In the past year, the number of narcotic painkillers prescribed in New Hampshire decreased by more than 13 percent, while cases of suspected "doctor shopping" by patients dropped by nearly two-thirds.
The new data, presented to Gov. Maggie Hassan and legislative leaders earlier this month, suggest that two years after it was launched, the state's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is working as designed.
N.H. Joins 40 States in Lawsuit Against Maker of Opioid-Addiction Treatment Suboxone

China defends CPEC as an 'economic initiative', says project has not affected its stand on Kashmir
© Provided by Firstpost China defends CPEC as an 'economic initiative', says project has not affected its stand on Kashmir
Beijing: China on Monday again defended its controversial $60 billion CPEC project with Pakistan, disregarding India's protests as it is being laid through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, saying it is an economic initiative and has not affected its principled stand on the Kashmir issue.
Leaders of China and Pakistan have praised the progress of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in recent days as the two close allies celebrated the establishment of 70 years of their diplomatic relations.
India has protested to China over the CPEC, the flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), as it traverses through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The massive infrastructure project connects China's Xinjiang province with Gwadar port in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
China has been defending the CPEC, saying it is an economic project not aimed at any third country.
Answering questions on the CPEC at a media briefing on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that the CPEC as one of the pioneering projects under the BRI has made important and major progress in infrastructure, energy, ports and industrial parks.
He said the Belt and Road Initiative is an open international economic cooperation initiative with objectives of enhancing regional connectivity and achieving common development.
"We are also extending the CPEC to regional countries, including Afghanistan. This will not only boost faster economic development in Pakistan, but also regional connectivity," he said.
Asked how China sees regional prosperity being furthered by the CPEC in view of India's position that it passes through Indian territory illegally occupied by Pakistan, Zhao said the project has not affected China's principled position on Kashmir.
"China has stated its principled position on Kashmir many times. The CPEC is an economic initiative that targets no third country. It is not about territorial disputes and does not affect our principled position on the issue of Kashmir," he said.
On the CPEC's extension to Afghanistan, he said, "on third party participation in the CPEC, China is having discussions with third parties, including Afghanistan".
"The two sides are having consultations through diplomatic channels. We notice that Afghanistan imports and exports goods through Gwadar and Karachi ports. High-speed highways are also being extended to Afghanistan, he added.
In a message to his Pakistani counterpart Arif Alvi on Friday on the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Pakistan diplomatic relations, President Xi Jinping said the CPEC has achieved remarkable results.
Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan said at a high-level meeting in Islamabad that the CPEC will bring economic progress not only to Pakistan but the entire region.

The first "meeting of the Challenges and Opportunities of Iran's Stone Industry" was held recently and talks about a memorandum of understanding between Iran and Italy's stone industry were presented. According to this agreement, it was proposed to establish an Iran and Italy stone joint Institute in the Rey City. According to experts and activists of Iran's stone industry, the largest export destination for Iranian decorative stone is the lack of technical knowledge to produce high quality products and the lack of adequate familiarity with marketing in the global market. To overcome these obstacles, creating training units for stone activists can solve the problems in this sector. According to the information provided by the authorities, the education of the activists of the decorative stone industry, in addition to Rey City, the establishment of the institute in Isfahan, Mahallat and Fars is also on the agenda. Member of the board of directors and secretary of the Iranian stone association about the establishment of Iran and Italy Institute of Stone said: The establishment of an institute is aimed at educating all stone industry activists from simple worker to undergraduate courses to improve their work and skills. Ahmad Sharifi believes that export development and increase of Iran's stone quality level depend on education which the desired result will not be achieved without it. He mentioned the results obtained from the negotiations between the Association of Iranian and Italian Stone Industries and said that the training center, which is to be founded with the investment of the Iran and Italy Stone Association, will start its operation in addition to one million and 500 thousand euros. Sharifi stated that the main node which should be opened for the development of Iran's export of stones is training and should therefore be given priority, saying: In fact, the Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the technical and professional organization, the Iranian Stone Association and the Italian Stone Association which provides technical and professional facilities to the institute, which results in the Institute's activity with very high capacity. Isfahan University of Technology and educational institutions in Isfahan have been negotiating for the establishment of the institute's center in this province. The secretary of Iranian stone association has signed a memorandum of understanding with Isfahan University of Technology to establish the Institute along with Tehran to find a way to build a stone industry pole in Isfahan. In this way, two very powerful and efficient training centers will be set up and opened to enhance the level of knowledge and ability of individuals by providing practical training and theory together. Other training programs for standard production are also in mining and processing, marketing and exporting of mineral products. He believes that people working in the field of Iranian stone industry, with training in marketing and exports, can be prepared to enter the target market. The result is 100% positive. The CEO of Zarsa Zagros stone Company in an interview with Samat about the establishment of the joint institute of Iran and Italy's stone industry and its impact on this area stated: The establishment of joint educational institutions with Italy is 100% beneficial to the Iranian stone industry and it will boost and restore life to the decorative stones mines of the country. Farzad Taheri said: "One of the problems of the Iranian stone industry is the lack of sufficient knowledge to carry out mining activities. In the years 1997 to 2005, new Italian machinery was imported into Iran, but the use of them was not possible due to the lack of software and technical knowledge. He believes that holding training courses is one of the most important needs of the stone industry. For example, a country like China does not have the remarkable technology for the stone industry, but produces high-quality products due to its mastery of technical knowledge and innovation, because they define certain conditions for each stone and therefore have complete assurance of the results. According to the activist of the decorative stone industry, there are new technologies and equipment in Iran, but, on the other hand, there are no experts who have mastery and knowledge of using this equipment. On the other hand, the arrival of specialist experts from the countries that own the technology also has a high cost. Thus, holding training classes and learning the right way of working to stone industry working actors is much more important than importing equipment and technologies of the day.

Pine-fringed shorelines, beautiful beaches, a wealth of remarkable historical sites, stunningly diverse landscapes, delicious traditional cuisine and warm, hospitable people are just some of the aspects of Turkey that lure an ever-increasing number of visitors back year after year. Spanning two continents - Europe and Asia - Turkey has always been at the crossroads of east and west and today offers an intoxicating blend of impressions, a heady cocktail of scents, a fascinating fusion of sights and sounds. Turkey's sheer size means that it is impossible to explore the whole country in a single holiday, but even within the south-west corner, where the majority of our accommodation is based, the scenery is astonishingly varied, ranging from lush estuaries sheltered by long sandy beaches to truly majestic mountain ranges cloaked in fragrant pine forests.
Turkey is a wonderfully diverse country and has something for everyone. Seen as the bridge between Europe and Asia it has a fascinating mix of cultures. It is also rich with history having been host to several major civilizations, and there are numerous archaeological sites and grand historic buildings to bear witness to this. It is also a country blessed with amazing landscapes. The coastal areas of Turkey boast wonderful beaches and sailing opportunities, while the many mountain ranges host stunning walks. As you travel around the country, the constantly changing scenery is a delight and provides for a wide variety of wildlife. In spring the flowers are spectacular and migratory birds add to the native fauna. The land is also agriculturally rich in many areas and the combination of really fresh food and the historical influences of different cultures has resulted in traditional Turkish cooking being some of the worlds finest. The genuine warmth and hospitality of Turkish people is also legendary. Whatever style of holiday you have chosen, whether in a rural location, a small resort, the fascinating city of Istanbul or exploring, you can be sure of a warm welcome.
A popular area with Turkish and international holidaymakers alike, offering relaxed seaside holidays within striking distance of a bustling, sophisticated town.
The rugged Datca and Loryma peninsulas boast some of the most unspoilt scenery in south-west Turkey. Datca itself is a charming little harbour town with decent beaches whilst Orhaniye and Kumlubuk are exceptionally peaceful seaside hamlets.

For years, we have been told to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but new research suggests that eight servings may be significantly better.
The diet and lifestyles of more than 300,000 people across eight countries in Europe found that people who ate eight or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day had a 22% lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who ate five servings a day. But, as expected, those who ate 5 servings did significantly better than those who ate less.
One portion or serving was considered to be 90 grams, equivalent to a medium banana, apple, or carrot.
The average intake of fruits and vegetables in the various countries came to about 4 servings a day.
Healthy eating tailed off the further north the researchers looked in Europe. UK men managed 3.9 portions a day, and UK women 4.2 portions.
The researchers said that factors of cost and availability of fruits and vegetables most likely account for the differences in intake.
Unfortunately, the figures for the US are very poor. In 2005, only 30% of Americans consumed 2 or more pieces of fruit a day. Regarding vegetables, only 32% of American women and 22% of American men ate 3 or more servings of vegetables a day (including both raw vegetable salad and cooked vegetables).
This scale of 2 fruits and 3 vegetables reflects the 5-a-day program. But, imagine if it were bumped up to 8. The percentage of Americans who eat 8 or more fruits and vegetables a day must be well below 10%. And it's trending lower because of rising food prices in the bad economy. Produce is expensive, though there is a wide spread. Bananas, for instance, are still quite cheap at fifty cents a pound. But, it wasn't long ago that they were three pounds for a dollar. So, everything is going up.
But, I hope people will find other ways to economize than to reduce their consumption of fresh produce. It isn't just about nutrition, as in fuel. It's about nutritional therapeutics and disease prevention. It's about avoiding the misery of the "medical phase of life." It's about staying alive. You can't put a price on that.

Picrite basalt
Picrite basalt, picrobasalt is a variety of high-magnesium olivine basalt that is very rich in the mineral olivine. It is dark with yellow-green olivine phenocrysts (20 to 50%) and black to dark brown pyroxene, mostly augite.
The olivine-rich picrite basalts that occur with the more common tholeiitic basalts of Kīlauea and other volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands are the result of accumulation of olivine crystals either in a portion of the magma chamber or in a caldera lava lake.The compositions of these rocks are well represented by mixes of olivine and more typical tholeiitic basalt.
The name "picrite" can also be applied to an olivine-rich alkali basalt: such picrite consists largely of phenocrystsof olivine and titanium-rich augite pyroxene with minor plagioclase set in a groundmass of augite and more sodic plagioclase and perhaps analcite and biotite.
Picrites and komatiites are somewhat similar chemically, but differ in that komatiite lavas are products of more magnesium-rich melts, and good examples exhibit the spinifex texture. In contrast, picrites are magnesium-rich because crystals of olivine have accumulated in more normal melts by magmatic processes. Komatiites are largely restricted to the Archean.
When the term oceanite was apparently first proposed by Antoine Lacroix, he used the term to apply only to basalts with more than 50% olivine content (an extremely rare occurrence). Picrite basalt is found in the lavas of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaiʻi, Curaçao, in the Piton de la Fournaise volcano on Réunion Island and various other oceanic island volcanoes.
Picrite basalt has been erupted in historical times from Mauna Loa during the eruptions of 1852 and 1868 (from different flanks of Mauna Loa).
Picrite basalt with 30% olivine commonly erupts from the Piton de la Fournaise
Oceanite
Oceanite is the name of variety of picritic basalt characterized by its large amounts of olivine phenocrysts and lesser amounts of augite and by having a groundmass of olivine, plagioclase and augite. The term was coined by Antoine Lacroix in 1923.
Olivine basalt is commonly used by foundries, boilermakers and boiler users to protect the area around a burner tip or to protect a floor from molten metal and other slag. Its use in this fashion is appropriate since olivine is a highly refractory, high-melting-temperature mineral.
Basalt is a common extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon. Flood basalt describes the formation in a series of lava basalt flows.
By definition, basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) igneous rock with generally 45-55% silica (SiO2) and less than 10% feldspathoid by volume, and where at least 65% of the rock is feldspar in the form of plagioclase. It is the most common volcanic rock type on Earth, being a key component of oceanic crust as well as the principal volcanic rock in many mid-oceanic islands, including Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Réunion and the islands of Hawaii. Basalt commonly features a very fine-grained or glassy matrix interspersed with visible mineral grains. The average density is 3.0 gm/cm3.
Basalt is defined by its mineral content and texture, and physical descriptions without mineralogical context may be unreliable in some circumstances. Basalt is usually grey to black in colour, but rapidly weathers to brown or rust-red due to oxidation of its mafic (iron-rich) minerals into hematite and other iron oxides and hydroxides. Although usually characterized as "dark", basaltic rocks exhibit a wide range of shading due to regional geochemical processes. Due to weathering or high concentrations of plagioclase, some basalts can be quite light-coloured, superficially resembling andesite to untrained eyes. Basalt has a fine-grained mineral texture due to the molten rock cooling too quickly for large mineral crystals to grow; it is often porphyritic, containing larger crystals (phenocrysts) formed prior to the extrusion that brought the magma to the surface, embedded in a finer-grained matrix. These phenocrysts usually are of olivine or a calcium-rich plagioclase, which have the highest melting temperatures of the typical minerals that can crystallize from the melt.
Basalt with a vesicular texture is called vesicular basalt, when the bulk of the rock is mostly solid; when the vesicles are over half the volume of a specimen, it is called scoria. This texture forms when dissolved gases come out of solution and form bubbles as the magma decompresses as it reaches the surface, yet are trapped as the erupted lava hardens before the gases can escape.

The tech giant added a few photos about their upcoming releases on their website, and the Internet obviously took notice.
In a world of constant big releases, there are millions of people interested in getting exclusive tips. Like how there seems to be at least one Game of Thrones leak. This is true especially of tech releases, and Apple is the king of those. Many expected outsiders to release an iPhone XS leak … but the company slipped and did it by itself. By accident.
Guilherme Rambo, a Mac and iOS developer who writes for 9toMac, was the first to notice the leak. During last Thursday's announcement of the next Apple event, he saw internal images of the gadget in the stream. This led to a more thorough research of what we can expect less than two weeks from now.
It seems we're getting two new OLED iPhones: 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch. It appears that both of these sizes will be called iPhone XS. Happily, that's not the only hardware feature we know about the upcoming iPhone: there's also a new hue. The iPhone XS leak shows that, unlike previous iterations of the new design, we'll get a gold color option.
So far there aren't any details regarding software additions, but we're definitely getting two new iPhone sizes, and in gold.
While the highlight is the iPhone XS leak, there's a bit more info on the September Apple event. Besides new iPads, the company is also expected to unveil the new generation of Apple Watches.
According to BGR, the screen of the new Apple Watch will be bigger and with that will come a new interface. The only picture so far shows a somewhat saturated screen, but that's just for marketing purposes. Fans of wearable technologies should be psyched about this one!
The Apple fall event will take place on September 12th in Cupertino, California.

Q: Formula Pressure Exerted by a Moving Fluid? If I have a stream of moving fluid (moving at a velocity of $v$) flowing past a plate, is there a formula that calculates the pressure exerted by the fluid as a result of the movement of the fluid? More specifically, what is the difference in pressure if the fluid is static and moving?
I found a concept called dynamic pressure - but it doesn't seem to fit in this situation. By Bernoulli's principle, the faster the fluid the lower the pressure should be, but dynamic pressure was given as $q\propto v^2$, which is the opposite of what Bernoulli's principle states.
So my question is, is there a formula (as a function of $v$) for the pressure exerted specifically by the motion of a fluid on an object?

A: Bernoulli's principle states that the following expression is a constant
$$\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 + \rho g z + p = \mathrm{const}$$
From this equation you can evaluate the pressure reduction of a moving fluid.
Example: If you know the pressure $p_0$ of the fluid at rest and assuming there is no hight difference, $z=\mathrm{const}$ you get
$$p_0 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 + p$$
or
$$p = p_0 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2$$
