IN past years any stray china-lover who wished to see and to learn had to search well to find any public collections, or even specimens of old china, in America. In town-halls, in the curiosity shops of eccentric old women, or in the " museums " of land-stranded old sailors, a few pieces might be seen—not saved nor shown because they were china, but because " Parson Board-man, who preached forty-nine years in this town, owned this tea-set; " or " this china was taken out of the cabin of an English frigate in 1813;" or "these mugs were used when George Washington passed through the town.' In this class of discursive and disjointed collections, though of course in a superior and highly honored way, might be placed the china of the Museum of the East India Marine Company in Salem, of whose arrangement Eleanor Putnam wrote, " it was as if each sea-captain had lounged in and hustled down his contribution in any convenient vacant space." In that old museum, as I re-member it a decade ago, elaborate models of Chinese junks and American merchant vessels bore on their miniature bowsprits strange additions to their rigging, and shadowed by their dusty hulls queer and varied trophies, queerer then than now—sharks' teeth, Turkish pipes, sandal-wood beads, Italian crucifixes, Peruvian pottery, and South Sea shells and savage weapons. Teak-wood furniture and miniature palanquins and pagodas sheltered many curious china treasures which I vaguely re-call, queer in name and shape—nests of egg-shell saki-cups and saki-bowls galore ; ink-stones of green celadon with their accompanying water-bottles and little cakes of gilded India-ink ; perfume flasks of painted Japanese wares ; bottles of purest porcelain for Oriental hair-oil, or, rather, hair-glue; pottery jars full of unpleasant-looking mouldy mysteries, which might be preserved fruit or might be mummies ; " plaster boxes " lettered in Chinese ; strange triangular bits of blue and white Persian porcelain "to clean out shoes with;" old Liverpool mugs taken from a wreck and wildly labelled " from Ceylon ; " and, chief of all, two vast soup-tureens of purest white Canton porcelain, duck-shaped, six feet in length from beak to tail by memory's measurement. In the ,cold light of re-cent and more mature inspection these two great East India birds of good cheer, like many another remembered object of the good old times, shrank to about half their ancient size; but are still impressive relics of the great days and great dinners of the old East India Marine Company, the dinners where, filled to the wings with some hot, well-peppered Indian broth, the twin tureens graced the board around which gathered all these old treasure-bringing and treasure-giving Salem mariners.
A recent visit to my dearly-loved and warmly-remembered old museum grieved my heart ; its charm was gone. Great, light, airy rooms have been added to the old building ; an arranger, a labeller, and a model cataloguer have ruthlessly invaded the dusty cases and weeded out the boxes of dried-up and shrivelled fruits, the skins of moth-eaten birds, and of seedy and disreputable fishes. The Chinese paper-fans and woven baskets, once rare enough to be carefully treasured in a museum, now seen in every dry-goods shop in the land, seem wholly to have disappeared. The iconoclasts have prosaically separated each old sea-captain's relics into parcels and placed them in wonderfully well-arranged and classified cases, labelled Madagascar, Alaska, Sumatra, or whatever the land of their early home may be. I suppose the shoe-cleaners and hair-oil bottles are there somewhere in their properly assigned places, but I did not search for them. I glanced at my old friends, the punch-bowls, and the great duck-tureens, but the old-time glamour, the " unstudied grace " of the museum was gone.
In many public buildings at the present day, among treasured colonial relics, may be seen fine specimens of old china. A neighbor of the East India Marine Company, the Essex Institute, has a small but interesting and well-labelled collection of old Salem china.
The Bostonian Society displays in its rooms in the old State House in Boston a number of old Liverpool pitchers and about twenty Staffordshire plates and platters with American designs, as well as some pieces of the china of John Hancock and a few other good Boston citizens.
In the rooms of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, in Locust Street, Philadelphia, may be seen a number of interesting pieces, including a set of Dresden cups and saucers, presented tc Benjamin Franklin by Madame Helvetius, of Auteuil, that extraordinary friend of Franklin's whose behavior so shocked Mrs. Adams. By the side of this Dresden set are the beautiful coffee-cups, teacups, saucers, teapot, creamer, bowl, and chocolate-pot presented to Mrs. Robert Morris, wife of the United States Minister of Finance, by Luzerne, the French Minister ; a cup and saucer said to have been used at the wedding of George Washington ; a punch-bowl made for the Society of the Cincinnati by order of Colonel Hampden ; several Washington pitchers ; a Perry pitcher, and an Erie Canal pitcher.
In the Deerfield Memorial Hall, in the rooms of the Connecticut Historical Society, of the various societies of antiquity, and local associations throughout New England, may be seen good pieces of old pottery and porcelain, often with an interesting and doubtless authentic story 'attached, but too frequently wildly and amazingly labelled as to place of manufacture and date.
Many rich private collections exist. Vast stores of old colonial treasures are preserved in private houses in our Eastern States. The Washington pieces of pottery and. porcelain in the Huntington Collection are far outdone in beauty and in rarity by many private collections, such, for instance, as that of Miss Powel, in Newport of Mrs. Russell, in Cambridge; while the varied collection of old china at the house of the Washington Association of New Jersey, with the exception of the historical interest which attaches to it through the story of various past owners of renown, and excepting, of course, the rare and beautiful punch-bowls, is equalled and excelled in many a New England home. In Hartford the collections of Mr. Trumbull, of Dr. Lyon, would make envious any English china-buyer. In Albany, in Philadelphia, in Worcester and Providence, in New Haven and Washington, in New York and Brooklyn, many a closet and room full of well - preserved colonial china show the good taste and careful judgment of loving owners. In Boston the collection of Mr. Wales is of unbounded interest and value.
There is but one public collection in America which I have seen that is of positive and unfailing worth to the American china-collector—the Trumbull-Prime Collection. I mean for the china-collector for whom these pages are written, the gatherer of household wares of colonial times and of the early part of this century. It is much deplored by residents of New York that this beautiful and instructive collection has not found a home on shelves neighboring the Avery Collection of Oriental porcelains in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But it has been placed where it will serve a nobler purpose than contributing to the pleasure or profit even of china-lover or china-collector—where it will instruct the china-maker. In the spacious cabinets of the beautiful art building of Princeton College, it is near the great china factories of Trenton ; and may the owners of those factories soon learn the lesson of beauty and variety of form, color, and paste, that is so plainly shown in the china treasures gathered by Mr. and Mrs. Prime.
It has been easy for anyone, for everyone, who had any idea or knowledge of old china, tc form a collection of china in America. Of course, the value of the accretion was variable, not so much resulting from the length of the purse of the gatherer as from his judgment and care in buying. It is still possible to obtain such a collection. The old china is not yet all discovered and culled from country towns. One china-hunter found in Northampton, that besearched city, in a summer week in 1891—found and bought and bore away in triumph—a large States pitcher, a Boston State House pitcher, a Trenton Falls plate, a Capitol plate, two State House plates, several pieces bearing the design of McDonough's victory, a dozen or more plates with English views, two helmet-pitchers, several pepper-pots, and, in addition to the " treasures of clay," a tall clock and four harp-backed chairs that once were Jonathan Edwards's, a Chippendale table, and various trophies of pewter and brass. Dealers might have visited these Northampton folk in vain, but this beguiling china-hunter bore away his cartload of old furniture and crockery for a sum total as small as in days of yore.
It is for such slow and careful collectors that these pages are written, for the collectors who having read and studied all the foreign text-books and histories and manuals of pottery and porcelain still know very little of the china within their gates, the china to be gathered in America. The number of such china hunters is steadily crescent. In Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, china collections are being formed ; and many of the finest specimens of American historical china that have been offered for sale in New York and Boston "antique shops" during the past year have been purchased and sent to California.
Has ne'er been revealed to us yet."
A corner cupboard seems to be, like all old-fashioned furniture, well adapted for the express purpose for which it was made. It is not a modern pattern combination china-closet, washstand, and refrigerator all in one, but for the simple purpose of china-holding and china showing it is perfect. The old china never looks prettier (except when on the table) than in its wonted home —a corner cupboard or beaufet. The narrow scalloped or crenated shelves with their wider rounded projections at the extreme back seem expressly shaped to show each piece to its best advantage. Even the Gothic small paned glass door, when present, does not hide the dainty pieces. The apse-shaped, shell-fluted top with its pillared frame and carved sunbursts, and its surmounting brass eagles or balls, seems a fitting roof to shelter the fragile in gatherings.
The old china seems always to look better and more at home in an old-time setting. On page 44 is shown a shallow dresser, an adaptation of an old kitchen fashion, with narrow ledges of shelves hung with old pew-ter porringers, which proves also a delightful way to show to plain view the rows of blue and white plates, especially the dainty gems of "cup plates," which are so treasured and loved by the china-hunter that there never seems to be any spot altogether worthy to hold and display them quite as they ought to be shown. Of course, large articles-what were called in olden times " hollow-ware "—cannot be placed on a dresser; tiny pepper-pots, salt-cellars, tea-caddies, very small creamers, and plates and platters set on edge must form the dresser's only burden.
Another old-fashioned resting-place for china may be adopted in modern times for the sustentation of any broken-nosed, handleless, nicked, cracked, or scorched treasure, "the broken .teacups wisely kept for show," which no true china-hunter will despise, but which will not bear the too close examination of scoffers, and to which distance lends a haze of enchantment and veil of perfection. I mean a "crown of steps," or "shelf of steps," or "china steps," as they were variously called. One is here shown, but as they are so rare nowadays perhaps the term needs some explanation. On top of a high chest of drawers, a "high-boy," was placed in olden times a three-tiered, graduated platform of " steps " to hold and display china. The lower tier of the platform was about eight or ten inches shorter and five inches shallower than the top of the " high-boy." This left free a shelf of about five inches wide upon the sides and front of the top; the tier was four or five inches high. The second tier, or step, was made shorter and narrower in the same proportion, thus leaving a second ridge or shelf. The top tier, or platform, was smaller still. Thus when the china was arranged around the three sides of the "crown of steps" it made a pretty pyramid of pitchers and teapots and jars, and each piece could be plainly seen. Rather high up in the air they were, perhaps, for purposes of close examination or for freeing from dust, but safe from danger of breaking. Very rarely an old " high-boy " will now be seen with a fixed or permanent "crown of steps," but usually this set of china-shelves was separate, and frequently was only made of stained wood. Such were probably the " Steps for China Ware of Abraham Blish, of Boston, in 1735, which were worth only two shillings. Such also were "the steps & some small China thereon" of John Proctor in 1756, since they were worth only five shillings and fourpence. Another inventory has this item : " I Japan Chest Draws and Steps for China."
On such a "shelf of steps" the china is " out of the way;' and for the same virtue I like to hang china on the wall—pitcher, jugs, cups, as well as plates—they are so safe and yet so plainly visible in that position. Then you can do away with " the dozen little teetery tables " that litter and obstruct our rooms and make man's life a burden. There is a certain restfulness in the spacious parlors of some old houses that I know, a sense of room in which to move, of liberal elegance, of substantial good taste, that is owing largely to the absence of small littering chairs and tables. Everything is upon the walls that can be hung or placed there ; decoration is profuse, but not in the way. I would rather keep china anywhere than upon a table. Perhaps the upsetting of a tea-table, with its burden of eighteen teapots, and the utter annihilation of teapots and depression of spirits that resulted, may have conduced to this feeling. For the purpose of hanging plates upon the wall come various little wire frames or holders; but when you have fifty or one hundred plates in your dining room, even these cheap holders are quite an expense. Mr. Prime gives in his book an illustration and the details of the manner of making a wire frame or holder by which to' hang plates on the wall. This invention of his is very ingenious and very good; many a one have I in my home ; but it requires for its manufacture a wire-workman or a tinker, either amateur or professional, and tools of various kinds, and a neatly made spiral cylinder of wire. This places the possibility of manufacturing Mr. Prime's holder quite out of the reach of the average woman. I, too, have invented a holder, and it can be made by any woman, since she need employ but one tool—her own distinctive instrument—a pair of scissors. The materials, too, are peculiarly feminine—picture-wire or strong twine, and dress-hooks. I will say for the benefit of the masculine china-hunter who may read these pages that both white and black dress-hooks can be purchased for a few cents a dozen, and of various sizes, from the heavy cloak hooks, which are strong enough to hold a thick Delft plaque, to the tiny hooks that are sufficient to sustain a fragile saucer. And the process of manufacture of my plate-holder is so simple! You use your tool but once—to cut off the length of wire. Then place four of the dress-hooks at equal distances around the rim of the plate, slipping them firmly over the edge. String your wire on the back of the plate through the two loops at the end of each of the four hooks and draw it tight. Twist the ends of the wire firmly and neatly together, make a little wire loop by which to hang it, and your plate-holder is done. A man may use a pair of " cut-nippers " to cut the wire, and a pair of pincers to twist it if he so will; but a pair of scissors is all that is really necessary, and will answer every purpose, though the usage is not thoroughly conducive to the welfare of the scissors. I will not say that this holder is better than Mr. Prime's, though I point with pride to the facility and simplicity of its construction ; but I think 1 can boast that it is cheaper.
The dark blue Staffordshire plates especially should be thus hung on the wall, where they form so rich a point of color that they put to shame all the thin water-colors and pale French china in their vicinity, and make us fully appreciate Oscar Wilde's sigh of " trying to live up to his blue and white china."
Inflame with joy or break his rest; "
but end with the assurance that I fully concur in the words of a well-known English collector : China-collecting is not a mere fancy—it is a complete education."


For many citizens, acquiring or passing a piece of land to one's children remains a complex procedure. Grievances vary from registering land for business or residential purpose to claiming ownership. Bribes to local government to expedite (illegal) construction or retrieve title deeds of land are allegedly all too common.
From my many conversations with Sri Lankans – or what I overheard in the office or public transportation— I noticed that one of the things people complain most about is land administration.
And rightfully so. It currently takes 9 steps and 51 days to register a property. And while the government aims to reduce the process to an ambitious 2 steps and 5 days, this is still a far cry from a modern and transparent land administration system.
In the spirit of openness expressed in RTI, a critical decision will be to digitize land administration to make the process simpler and more accountable to citizens.
I recently attended a two-day workshop where all agencies involved in land administration came together to understand how they can better address the bottlenecks that so many Sri Lankans experience.
The meeting, attended by the Minister and Secretary of the Ministry of Lands and Parliamentary Reforms and the Surveyor General focused on policies that need to be formulated to establish a user-centric and effective land administration system within a reasonable timeframe in Sri Lanka. Fixing the system will resolve one of the largest drawbacks to improving the country's Doing Business ranking.
Having these systems in place would support the implementation of the RTI as these would be proactive measures to help citizens access information in a timely manner and would also help the government officials to do their job better.
As we celebrate #AccessToInfoDay, I encourage you to engage and let us know your experience practicing your right to know.


Select Sliding Scale from the Type of Plan drop down.
5. Choose to base your commission levels on Gross Commission or on Sales Price. We will use gross commission for this example.
6. Choose whether to pro-rate the levels. Pro-rate levels means that the system will max out the current level before moving the agent to the next level. For example, if level 1 of your plan is $0-$40,000 in gross commissions at a 70%/30% split, and the agent has done $35,000 in gross commissions so far. On their next deal, they earn $10,000 in gross commissions, we will apply $5,000 of that commission towards this current level at a 70% split, taking them to $40,000, and then move them to the next level and apply the remaining $5,000 of the commission at the higher split rate.
Let's look at an example of how this setting works. A gross commission sliding scale plan with Level 1 from $0-$10,000 at a 50% split, Level 2 at $10,001-$20,000 at a 75% split. If the agent's past gross commission volume is at $9,000, and the current commission disbursement you are creating has a gross commission of $5,000 putting the agent's total gross at $14,000, and you choose Starting Value then the commission will be calculated using the $9,000 value, the starting value before the new value was added, and the agent split will be 50%. If you choose Ending Value, the commission will be calculated using the $14,000 value, the ending value after the new value is added, and the agent split will be 75%.
8. Next we'll set up each level of our commission plan. We're using gross commission for this example so the agent will move from level 1 to level 2 when they exceed $40,000 in gross commissions, from level 2 to level 3 when they exceed $80,000 in gross commissions, from level 3 to level 4 when they exceed $100,000 in gross commissions.
If you want to charge a fee for each level of your plan you can enter that info into the Closing Fee Item and Amount fields. This feature allows you to adjust your fee based on the level of the commission plan. You can choose a dollar amount or a % of the gross commission, agent's commission, or sales price. If you have a cap on fees that you set during step 7, these are the fees that will be applied towards that cap. This fee will be automatically deducted from the agent's commission when you create a commission disbursement.
9. Next, do you have a cap on transaction fees? For example, if you charge 1% of the sales price but only until the agent has paid $1,000, you can set that up by adding the 1% fee based on the sales price, and select Yes to Cap on Fees, and then enter $1,000 in the Cap Amount field.


One of the most important decisions that define your career, its growth and your future is choosing an appropriate major after completing your 10th or 12th class. Choosing what college is best for you, what degree you want to pursue and how you are going to get an admission on the college of your choice is rather overwhelming.

Indonesia has become the latest election battleground for Beijing´s soaring economic clout, as the opposition warns pro-China policies are saddling the mineral-rich archipelago with bad debt as it is sold off piecemeal to foreign interests.
Business links with top trade partner China have been thrust into the spotlight by ex-general Prabowo Subianto who is challenging Indonesian leader Joko Widodo for the presidency of Southeast Asia´s largest economy on Wednesday.
Trailing by double digits in the polls, Subianto has leaned on a fiery nationalist ticket and pledged to re-evaluate Chinese investment, even as Jakarta courts huge contracts from Beijing´s $1.0 trillion Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
"All (BRI) initiatives should be reviewed," Irawan Ronodipuro, foreign affairs director for Subianto´s campaign, told Media.
Since taking office in 2014, Widodo has pushed Chinese investment to fulfil his own multi-billion-dollar drive to build much-needed roads, airports and other infrastructure across the sprawling archipelago of more than 17,000 islands.
Last year, China and Indonesia signed $23 billion in belt and road initiative contracts, including two hydro power plants on Borneo island and a power station on holiday hotspot Bali.
Indonesia has since said it would offer $91 billion worth of projects — from ports to power plants — to Chinese investors at a Beijing summit in late April, just after the polls.
Chinese firms are already involved in several other ventures, including an industrial park on Sulawesi island and a $6.0 billion high-speed railway between the capital Jakarta and mountain-fringed Bandung city — which Subianto has promised to review.
Both projects have stoked fears about an influx of Chinese workers and Indonesia taking on unsustainable debt.
Perceptions about Chinese encroachment have a particular resonance in the country of 260 million, as resentment lingers over the success of some billionaire Chinese Indonesians who control vast swathes of the economy.
However, debate over Widodo´s so-called pivot to China was full of misleading claims, said Wijaya, with a tide of fake news online fanning anti-Beijing sentiment.
"Most Chinese investment in Indonesia is in industry, such as mining," she told AFP, adding that little was in strategic or sensitive assets.
The deals involve mostly private-sector companies and brought much-needed capital to build industrial processing plants such as the one in Sulawesi, added the Indonesian academic.
Analysts said it was too early to know if Subianto would take an outright anti-China policy if he takes office, but there are signs that investors are nervous about his plans for the economy.
"His rhetoric is so extreme that I think he would have to follow through on at least some of it," said Kevin O´Rourke, an Indonesia-based political risk analyst.
The 67-year-old Subianto is a proponent of "smart nationalism" who, taking a page from US President Donald Trump nationalist policies, would put "Indonesia first", countered his foreign affairs director Ronodipuro.
"But that doesn´t mean we´ll start putting restrictions on trade and investment," he added.
Ahead of the polls, Widodo has been burnishing his own nationalist credentials, including taking back control of the giant Grasberg gold and copper mine from US operator Freeport-McMoRan.

Can K-12 Schools Really Save Thousands of Dollars Each Year by By Reducing Trash Costs?
By Lisa Cassidy | 27, June 2017
Lisa Cassidy
Tags: How to Decrease Trash Removal Costs How To Reduce Trash Volume Trash Compactors- Back of the House/Back Room Orwak at Colleges, Universities and K-12
Camerado Springs Middle School, located in the California Buckeye Union School District, had been looking for ways to reduce operational costs.
When the school's facilities staff found out that they could save thousands on waste removal costs by compacting trash, they immediately placed an Orwak 5030 Trash Compactor in the Camerado Springs Middle School. Not only did it save the school $1500 a month in waste removal costs, it paid for itself in 6 months.
Since then, multiple schools within the Buckeye Union School District have saved thousands on waste removal costs by compacting and baling waste.
The morale of the story? You have to spend money to save money. It's ROI 101. Learn how the Orwak 5030 helped Camerado Springs Middle School cut thousands in operational costs.
Small Footprint Trash Compactors are Ideal For Schools
Director of Facilities, Ray Boike had heard of trash compaction, but always assumed that compactors were too large and expensive for schools to have on site. When Ray heard about the Orwak 5030 Trash Compactor, however, he was pleasantly surprised that it cost less than $10,000, took up just 7 square feet of floor space, had a compaction ratio of 10 to 1 and compacted trash in just 30 seconds.
Ray was thrilled to find such a simple way to reduce 15 large black trash bags down to two, shrinking waste volume per student by 62%. "The Orwak 5030 Trash Compactor has decreased the number of garbage pick-up days significantly... saving the school approximately $1500 a month. At a time when the State of California is looking to make huge cuts from its school budget, this is a welcome savings for our school," said Boike.
Portable, top-loading and easy to use, the Orwak 5030 Trash Compactor runs on "single phase," or standard 110V power. When a custodian empties trash into the compactor, he simply pushes a foot lever down to lock the machine for compacting. When compaction is completed, the reduced trash is then easily shifted over to an adjustable dolly, and then transported to the school's dumpster.
With $1500 in Savings Per Month, The Orwak 5030 Paid for Itself in Less Than Six Months
Before Camerado Springs had the Orwak 5030, they had 20 garbage pick-ups a month at a cost of $2,450. After compacting their trash, pick-ups were reduced to 8 per month at a cost of $950 resulting in a monthly savings of $1500.
As a result, the Orwak 5030 Trash Compactor paid for itself in less than 6 months! See chart below to see just how much Camerado Springs saves each year as a result of compacting their trash.
School may be out for the summer, but it is never too late to get educated!

Q: Can't use FTP LIST with FTP User Isolation
*

*I have created a user and IIS Manager Users in IIS8. I want to specifically create these users to access (read/write) a directory via FTP, nothing more, nothing less.

*I've created a new FTP Site with a LocalUser directory in it and a new virtual directory which is named the same as the user.

*I have assigned the folder rights (for IUSR and IIS_IUSRS), enabled IISManagerAuth authentication for the FTP site and allowed the user in the FTP Authorization Rules.
Everything worked fine so far.
When testing this connection with FileZilla I can connect to the server and successfully log in.
The problem is I never get access to the directory as it can't retrieve the directory listing.

Any suggestions?
Thanks :)

A: You're using FTP in Passive mode, Most of times it's because of some router and/or firewall interfering with the connection.
Allow FTP Passive port range in your firewall any try again, or connect using Active mode and see what happens.

Qatar 2022 World Cup: Ghana Used 'Juju' Against Nigeria To Qualify-Balogun
Super Eagles centre-back Leon Balogun believes Ghana Black Stars used black magic, called 'juju in local parlance to qualify ahead of Nigeria for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars edged the Super Eagles via the away goal rule to qualify to the World Cup for a fourth time. Thomas Partey's strike at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja ensured Ghana qualified ahead of Nigeria for the tournament in Qatar.
Nine months after the playoffs, Balogun revealed that Ghana's last minute decision to change venues could be based on black magic.
"It is funny because that season, the away goals rule had been scrapped everywhere. I don't know why they didn't do it in Africa…I have no clue. Until this day, I don't understand," Balogun told The Beautiful Game Podcast.
"We did go to Ghana to play the first leg and it was a tough game. You know there was this whole fuss about them changing the stadium at the last minute on Tuesday when they have never lost and they say whether 'juju' may or may not have been involved also or whatever.
"It was tough for us. I can't lie…..It was really tough and we ended up playing [0-0."
Ghana have been eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar after winning just a game in three matches.

Sinn Fein Bares Its Green Nazi Soul
Books that displeased Hitler were not just banned but burned in Nazi Germany.
Nazi book burning, 1930s
And nearly 90 years on, we get a foretaste of what life would be like if Sinn Fein/IRA took power in British Ulster
Sinn Fein complains to Assembly about UDR book in TUV leader Jim Allister's study
https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/sinn-fein-complains-to-assembly-about-udr-book-in-tuv-leader-jim-allisters-study-3518169
The outrage from the vermin party at the mere sight of a book on the Ulster Defence Regiment in Jim Allister's study speaks volumes.
The vermin party MLA, Maolíosa McHugh..
McHugh
….interrupted proceedings to ask the assembly clerk if he would investigate whether it was permitted for Mr Allister to have the book on display….
TUV's Jim Allister
The TUV leader's book was to be seen 'in the background during a video call with the Stormont Finance Committee,' and provoked a breathless broadside from the vile disloyal McHugh.
"Workplaces should be neutral spaces," Mr McHugh said yesterday. "Nobody should be made to feel uncomfortable in their workplace."
Exactly how many innocent men and women were made to feel considerably worse than 'uncomfortable in their workplace' – in fact scarred, maimed, crippled and dead -by Sinn Fein/IRA murder-gangs?
Yet this anti-British bigot had the nerve to rant about –
…the role and record of the UDR… violent state-sponsored sectarianism.
– and whine, with that hypocritical, affected self-righteousness, worn like a mask by so many of the traitor-knaves in Ulster..
…Mr Allister's prominent display of this book during a Committee meeting had the very real potential to cause offense to the many victims of this now disbanded force."
'Offense?'
Apart from the loathesome source of the rant, what is most concerning, to me, is the brute's animosity to books.
I have deplored the book-burners of Gramedia here in Jakarta…
Grovelling Gramedia's Book–Burning Bonanza – Appeasing Fanatics
Jakarta Post Against Book-Burning – If The Books Are Leftist
..and the harassment of a lefty Canadian lesbian authoress….
https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/islamonazis-enlist-cops-to-break-up-jakarta-talk-by-unauthorised-canadian-author/
….so when a disloyal fanatic like McHugh makes it clear that Jim or anyone else should be ordered to keep a book out of sight…
….it's a straw in the wind.
If Sinn Fein's Green Nazis ever get the whip-hand, the blue skies of freedom will be replaced by an endless darkness.
PS last word to Jim!
"Mr Allister said that as he was working remotely "frankly the contents of my study are none of his busines".
He added: "I note, however, that a book which testifies to the bravery of the security forces in facing down the threat of terrorism raises such ire from republicans simply by existing! Sinn Fein/IRA are so intent on whitewashing the shameful bloody record of the Provos that they cannot so much as tolerate Mr Leask's excellent book… "
"Having blocked a centenary stone, a rose bush for the centenary and a tree being planted for Her Majesty's Jubilee Republicans now move to try to dictate the content of my study because they are so easily offended…"|

TUV's Jim Reminds Us – Sinn Fein's Evil!
Keeping men and women of base character off the public pay-roll is a self-evidently a good thing.
So we should all keep fingers crossed for the success of the move by TUV's Jim Allister in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
He wants a ban on 'political appointees with "serious convictions" from holding positions on public bodies.'
Such a prohibition would debar all kinds of scumbags from digging their snouts into the public purse.
But for mainland Brits and fans of clean government around the world, it's also a useful reminder of the vile record of certain Sinn Fein/IRA vermin…
..who might get tangled in the net cast by the legislation proposed by the Traditional.Unionist Voice leader.
The report names that notorious terror convict Gerry Kelly, who is ludicrously serving on Ulster's Policing Board.
Killer Kelly .
IRA Killer Kelly Says "I'd Do It Again!" Don't Trust Traitors!
That Sinn Fein pig was 'convicted on explosions charges related to the 1973 Old Bailey court bombing in London by the Provisional IRA, in which one person was killed and almost 200 people were injured.'
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-58635781
We have talked about this low-life before.
Kelly deserves a rope around his treasonous neck, not a regular dip into the tax-trough.
Another filthy cur mentioned is one Paul Kavanagh, who has a 'role at the Education Authority.'
That piece of garbage 'served 14 years in prison for killing three people in an IRA bombing campaign in England in 1981.'
He's another undesirable we named a few years ago.
Slap in The Gob For Ulster's Axis of Evil – Sinn Fein/IRA/SDLP
Another IRA pig, he got no less than FIVE life terms for his role in an IRA bombing campaign that included the killing of an army explosives expert and a 1981 attack on Chelsea military barracks in London.
Jim Allister's bill deserves to be approved, but we need to wait and see how the MLAs at Stormont vote.
I simply mention it, as I mentioned Kelly and Kavanagh a couple of years ago, to refresh people's memories.
Sinn Fein is NOT a political party in the way normal people think of political parties.
It is a hate-gang infested with savage sub-humans.
And it's huge support, in Eire's last election, strongly suggests that a large proportion of that country's population merits the same description.

Legal action has been launched against the NI Protocol" />
"We are a beautiful and proud United Kingdom, our strength rests on our bond together.
"We must not allow a foreign institution to impose and rip apart those bonds that bind us together. We must stand shoulder to shoulder together to oppose these attempts to fracture the very essence of our Union.
"We are asking all of you that care about Northern Ireland, our Union and our United Kingdom to join us and be part of our campaign by adding your voice and contributing what you can to fight to protect our Union in this legal case.
"We have already had huge support, but we want you to be part of it too. Join with us. Step up and be counted. Protect our Union and join our campaign."
The Crowdfunding appeal can be found at http://www.crowdjustice.com/case/defending-the-union-of-the-uk/
Steve Aiken leader of the UUP said: "The NI Protocol fundamentally undermines the integrity of the United Kingdom, the Belfast Agreement and the principle of consent. As one of the parties that negotiated the Agreement, we believe we have to take every political, diplomatic and legal avenue open to us to see the invidious, unequal NI Protocol annulled because every day we see the very principles on which the Belfast Agreement was created being trampled on by those who claim to put the peace process at the centre of their arguments. We encourage everyone who believes in the Union and in the Belfast Agreement to support this legal case."
Jim Allister, leader of the TUV said: "The Protocol annexes Northern Ireland into the EU, leaving us subject to laws we did not make and cannot change.
For me the challenge and opportunity of this Judicial Review is to end such vassalage and reunify the United Kingdom by removing the constitutional threat of many of our laws not being made in Belfast or London, but in Brussels under foreign aegis and control.
It is about "taking back control" in a most fundamental way by restoring the key sovereignty principle of being governed only by our own nation's laws, legislatures and courts. Home Rule, not Foreign Rule!"
Arlene Foster, First Minister of Northern Ireland…
….and Leader of the DUP added:
"We cannot allow our United Kingdom to be ripped apart and our UK internal market to be divided in order to protect the single market of the EU. When I launched a petition calling for unfettered GB-NI trade, over 100k people joined with us in just over 24hrs, this is another opportunity for everyone who opposes the Protocol to play their part.
"We will work with other Unionists to send a united message to our Government and to free Northern Ireland from the Protocol.
Whilst the courts is one front in this fight, the UK Government must use all powers at its disposal to immediately remove any barriers to unfettered trade within the United Kingdom."
The legal action has been lodged in the High Court of Northern Ireland and the next hearing date is the 13th April with an anticipated full hearing of the matter on 13th May 2021.
The crowdfunding campaign is to facilitate wide participation in the legal action

Distance Double-Standards – Terror 'Mourners' Get A Pass?
It's a sad fact that the PSNI in Ulster are unfair, frequently showing a disturbing tendency to keep in with the scum who support Sinn Fein.
Cops Cower From Disloyal Thuggery Threats!
Crossmaglen Den Of Vipers – Ulster's Top Cop Grovels!
Jim Allister of TUV has challenged them again, as he does so often and so well, and the dismissive response he got was an insult to democracy.
The PSNI will read his letter and answer it.
Not good enough!
Pointing out that Sinn Fein has oft been heard barking about how strict virus rules must be applied, Jim loudly wondered if the police would enforce the rules on the rabble attending the vermin disposal, aka funeral, this week..
..Another Rat Joins McGuinness In Hell
.=============================
…after many decent Ulsterfolk had not been allowed to attend the burials of loved ones in recent weeks!
Jim stated the case for fair play on funerals!
''We cannot have two-tier policing or double standards…
https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/bobby-storey-sinn-fein-under-pressure-ahead-republicans-funeral-2897661
No one is above the law and no one must be seen to be above it…"
But while Sinn Fein are vile creatures from whom neither honesty nor decency can be expected ( so why expect consisteñcy?) the republican swine can easily point to other examples of the same double standards!
Last week we had Johnson's ministers snarkling furiously about crowds of Brits going to beaches.
Yet when the BLM rabble took to the streets, making a mockery of the rules, not a single baton-charge was ordered to disperse the mob.
Instead those grovel cops knelt in subservience before them.
We shall see today! If the traitor rabble don't toe the line, the police should crack down hard.
And if the IRA show up with evil intent, hoping to fire a salute over the interment, as if the deceased was a soldier rather than a terrorist rat, there should be a bit more gunfire…
…to send a few more rats along with Storey, to join McGuinness in his eternal torment

We share your hopes.
A lot of us have been making a righteous fuss and I see in one of the papers that the priest conducting the service over a man who never repented his horrific sins has been attacking us (and you, I would surmise) as 'keyboard warriors.'
Better a keyboard warrior than a dirty terrorist like that rat being buried today.

There they all were, Ross, packed along the streets like green sardines, and surely smelt worse, though I would not want to get close enough to be sure about that.

Jimmy Graham's return highlights Seahawks' practice Wednesday
Originally published August 10, 2016 at 1:48 pm Updated August 10, 2016 at 2:21 pm
Jimmy Graham's return highlighted what was another spirited Seahawks practice on Wednesday.
Jimmy Graham's return was the definite highlight of Wednesday's practice, with the tight end seeing his first action on a football field since last Nov. 29 when he tore his patellar tendon in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Graham talked for a good 12 minutes after practice in what were his first comments since the injury and did not give a timeline for when he will return but said he was excited just to be back on the field.
"When you're away from it for as long as I've been it's very sweet when you get the opportunity to do it again," Graham said.
I'll have more on Graham a little later.
From an "uh-oh" standpoint, the biggest negative appeared to concerned Jarran Reed, the rookie defensive tackle from Alabama expected to fill in for the departed Brandon Mebane at nose tackle. Reed went out about two-thirds of the way through practice when he appeared to be stepped on by Will Pericak during a one-on-one pass-rush drill suffering an injury to some part of his lower left leg/ankle.
Defensive coordinator Kris Richard said he did not know any details on Reed. Reed was down for 10 minutes or so, but then got up under his own power and briefly stood on the sidelines and then later was taken off the field on a cart (Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who typically provides injury updates, did not meet with the media following Wednesday's practice).
Shortly after practice, however, Reed Tweeted that he is "perfectly fine" and will be at practice Thursday and that he wasn't carted off but just wanted to spare himself the walk inside.
The DL rotations looked quite a bit different all day with Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett getting rest days and Jordan Hill, Quinton Jefferson and Sealver Siliga still out. That had the likes of Brandin Bryant and Justin Hamilton getting some significant work with the starting unit.
Here are a few other quick notes….
— RT J'Marcus Webb went to the sidelines with a knee injury early in practice.He had ice on the knee early on and then had it off afterward, and eary indications are that it was not serious — he did not go to the locker room or anything like that. But without Webb, the OL alignments looked a bit different, usually with Bradley Sowell at left tackle and Garry Gilliam at RT.
— RG Germain Ifedi got into a tussle with linebacker K.J. Wright, who seemed to be surprised that Ifedi had taken offense to anything he had done. Richard Sherman quickly rushed to Wright's defense and also seemed to have a tone about him questioning why Ifedi was taking any shots at Wright. Ifedi sat out for a few plays and was replaced by veteran Jahri Evans, who got some significant work all day at right guard, usually with the second unit. Wright and Ifedi could be seen having a long talk later in practice, which ended in a handshake. After practice, Ifedi and QB Russell Wilson also had a long talk which also ended in a handshake. The general vibe seemed to be that Ifedi may need to learn when to tone it down some in practice.
— WR Doug Baldwin and SS Kam Chancellor were each back in pads during early work but did not take part in the full team drills.
— Bryant and LT George Fant also got a quick post-practice battle with a few punches thrown before it got swiftly broken up. Bryant called it just a training camp thing. "It's just camp man," Bryant said. "I'm sure that's going on with 32 other teams, every college team wherever you go the same thing is going on. You are just going hard and sometimes you butt heads but at the end of the day you are all brothers and you are trying to make each other better. It's just the heat of the moment."
— MLB Bobby Wagner also appeared to be getting a rest day which had Brock Coyle working with the starters during some of the early drills with UDFA Steve Longa getting most of the work with the ones during the team drills (Coyle is also coming off of an oblique injury).
— Sherman came up slow after one play when he and Jermaine Kearse went to the ground for a low pass that Kearse ended up receiving. But he stayed in.
— Paul Richardson had one of the highlights of the day with a leaping grab over Sherman near the sideline.
I just hitched hiked a ride by the cart me To go inside I wasn't carted off lol
— jarran reed (@1j_reed) August 10, 2016
Everything is ok I'm perfectly fine ..see ya tomorrow out there 12s

Full document in PDF format
Main events of the week
The campaign waged by the SDF forces against the ISIS enclave, which has lasted for over five months, is drawing to a close. In the village of Al-Baghouz Fawqani, east of Albukamal, several hundred ISIS operatives are still trapped in an area of about half a square kilometer in size. The SDF forces are encountering many difficulties as they advance in the village due to mines and sniper fire, and the use of tunnels and suicide bombers by ISIS. The forces are now preparing for an attack that will determine the battle, and will finally eliminate the "pocket" where ISIS operatives still remain. At the same time, the United States and the international community are faced with the dilemma of how to deal with the large number of prisoners who fell into the hands of the SDF, among them foreign fighters from dozens of countries, including Western European countries (see separate document on this issue).
Following are the main developments during the past week in other confrontation and friction zones throughout Syria:
Idlib and its environs: This week, the exchanges of artillery fire between the Syrian army and the rebel organizations continued, at a higher intensity than in the previous weeks. It was reported that at the Sochi Summit held last week, the Turks objected to a Syrian army operation aimed at restoring Syrian sovereignty. It was reported that Russia might give the Assad regime the green light to attack Idlib and its environs. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Idlib was a serious problem and that the Russian government's patience with the situation in Idlib was running out.
In the deserts in eastern and southern Syria, the Syrian army carried out offensive operations against ISIS operatives, who continued to conduct guerrilla warfare. This week, the Syrian army mounted an operation east of Palmyra. Syrian planes also attacked the remains of the ISIS enclave in Al-Safa, northeast of As-Suwayda. On the other hand, ISIS is conducting guerrilla warfare against the SDF forces in the Upper Euphrates Valley. This week, ISIS's activity centered on attacks in Al-Raqqah and in the areas of Deir ez-Zor and Al-Mayadeen.
While ISIS's main control zone in the Lower Euphrates Valley is about to fall into the hands of the SDF, ISIS continued to fight in other arenas. Noteworthy incidents of the past week:
ISIS's Sinai Province – operatives of the province attacked an Egyptian army checkpoint near the Al-Arish Airport, killing 15 Egyptian soldiers. This multi-casualty attack shows that despite the ongoing campaign waged by the Egyptian security forces against the Sinai Province, they are having difficulty uprooting it. The attacks carried out by ISIS operatives continue, with an emphasis on the northern Sinai region.
In Iraq, ISIS networks continue to carry out intensive military activity in the Sunni (and mixed Sunni-Shiite) provinces in northern Iraq. Noteworthy attacks in the past week include the detonation of IEDs, attacks on the Iraqi security forces and Shiite villages, and abductions of civilians (for ransom purposes or as bargaining chips for the release of prisoners). In addition, ISIS's West Africa Province, whose activity has been increasing of late, carried out a large number of attacks this week.
Russia's position on the issue of Idlib
Concurrently with the Warsaw Conference, led by the United States (February 13-14, 2019), the second Sochi Conference (February 14, 2019) was held with the participation of the presidents of Russia, Turkey and Iran. The conference covered a range of issues related to Syria, including the issue of the Idlib and Manbij enclaves, a subject on which the participants do not agree. At this stage, it is not known whether accords were reached on the issue of Idlib and Manbij, and if so, what was agreed on. Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan told journalists on his return from the summit that there might be joint operations (i.e., of Turkey with other countries) in Idlib against "extremist terrorist operatives" (Hürriyet Daily News, February 16, 2019).
The presidents of Turkey, Russia and Iran at the Sochi Conference
(Russian President's Twitter account, February 14, 2019)
According to a report by the France 24 news channel, during a bilateral meeting between the presidents of Russia and Turkey before the Sochi Conference, differences of opinion arose over the Idlib issue. Russia is reportedly insisting on a military operation that would restore control of the province to the Syrian regime. However, the Turkish president objected because he wanted to topple Syrian President Assad, and therefore did not want to hand over the control of the Idlib Province to him. The Russians, on their part, made it clear that they supported the restoration of Syria's sovereignty over all its territory, including the Idlib Province. Erdoğan backed down from his position but persisted in his refusal to have the Syrian army invade the Idlib Province. It was also reported that Russia would soon give the Syrian army the green light to attack the Idlib region (France 24, February 16, 2019).
Russian Foreign Ministry officials discussed the Idlib issue during the security conference held in Munich. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said that 90% of the terrorists belonged to the Al-Nusra Front (i.e., the Headquarters for the Liberation of Al-Sham) and that Russia's position is that it was impossible to reach an agreement with the terrorist organizations in Idlib (TASS News Agency, February 17, 2019). Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian government's patience with the situation in Idlib was running out. The Foreign Minister stressed the importance of eliminating all the terrorist elements in the region (AMN, February 17, 2019).
The Idlib region
Incidents continue between the Syrian army and the jihadi organizations
Local incidents continued in the Idlib region between the Syrian army and the jihadi rebel organizations. It seems that this week, incidents have escalated. The Syrian army fired artillery at command posts, fortifications and staging zones of the rebel organizations in the rural area north of Hama. This included artillery fire at targets of the Turkestan Islamic Party (Uyghur operatives who came from China). Several of their command posts were destroyed and some of their operatives were killed or wounded (Butulat Al-Jaysh Al-Suri, February 14, 2019). The Syrian army also fired artillery at positions of the Headquarters for the Liberation of Al-Sham southeast of Idlib. At the same time, the Headquarters for the Liberation of Al-Sham continues to kill high ranking ISIS operatives and vice versa.
The operative in charge of neutralizing mines in the Headquarters for the Liberation of Al-Sham, Ziyad Abu Ahmad, who was killed by ISIS southeast of Idlib (Telegram, February 17, 2019)
In this context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Syrian army and the forces supporting it had fired over 600 rockets, gun and mortar shells. The artillery was fired at the rural areas south of Idlib and north and northwest of Hama. The sites which were attacked included the cities of Khan Shaykhun and Maarat Numan, south of Idlib (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 16, 2019). The Headquarters for the Liberation of Al-Sham reported that the Syrian army had fired 20-25 rockets at the city of Khan Shaykhun, south of Idlib.
The rebel organizations fired artillery at areas under the Syrian army's control west and south of Aleppo and north of Hama (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 16, 2019). The rebel organizations fired two rockets which hit the power station in Mahrada,[1] about 19 km northwest of Hama. The power station sustained damage (Syrian@SyriawatanNews Twitter account, which is affiliated with the Syrian regime and operating from Latakia, February 16, 2019).

Due to the escalation, a delegation of council chairmen and local dignitaries from the Al-Ghab Plain (southwest of Idlib) met with Turkish officers and senior officials. The Turks made it clear to the delegation that Turkey was monitoring the situation and was putting pressure on Russia and Iran to stop the attacks. The Turks promised to the delegation that no Syrian military action was due for the near future and that control in the area would remain as it was (Khotwa, February 18, 2019).
Eastern Syria
Fighting against ISIS's last stronghold around the village of Al-Baghouz Fawqani
The SDF campaign against the ISIS enclave in the Lower Euphrates Valley is nearing its end. According to media reports, around the village of Al-Baghouz Fawqani (east of Albukamal), there are several hundred ISIS operatives trapped in an area of about half a square kilometer. The ISIS operatives remaining there reportedly refuse to surrender and are fiercely fighting against the SDF fighters. For the time being, there is a flimsy ceasefire, during which the Kurdish forces are preparing for an attack designed to finally terminate the ISIS "pocket." Negotiations reportedly take place during the lull in order to achieve an agreement that will bring about the surrender of the last ISIS operatives (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 19, 2019).

According to several spokesmen on behalf of the SDF, their forces encounter many difficulties in their advance in the village of Al-Baghouz due to mines, sniper fire and ISIS tunnels. In addition, it was reported that ISIS was making use of suicide bombers. The SDF forces operating in Al-Baghouz took control of ISIS weapons and ammunition. Coalition planes carry out airstrikes against ISIS targets, in support of the SDF forces (Deir ez-Zor 24 Twitter account, February 15, 2019).

According to Mostafa Bali, the head of the SDF Press Center, ISIS is holding civilians hostage in Al-Baghouz Fawqani and refuses to let them go (Mostafa Bali's Twitter account, February 16, 2019). On the ground, there are reportedly about 2,000 residents who are prevented from departing by the ISIS operatives (Asharq Al-Awsat, February 18, 2019). According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, trucks arrived in the ISIS "pocket" in order to evacuate local residents and possibly also families of ISIS operatives. At this stage, it is unclear whether the attempt to rescue the civilians was successful (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 20, 2019).
Dozens of tons of gold and huge amounts of money held by ISIS operatives reportedly seized
According to a report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, on February 16, 2019, helicopters of the International Coalition landed near the village of Al-Baghouz Fawqani. They transferred crates taken by the SDF from ISIS's depots and brought them to an unknown place. It is estimated that the crates contained about 40 tons of gold and tens of millions of dollars (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 16, 2019). The ITIC has no verification for this information.
Syrian army campaign against ISIS in the deserts east of Palmyra
While fighting against the ISIS enclave east of the Euphrates is nearing its end, the Syrian army launched a campaign against ISIS operatives in the deserts east of the city of Palmyra. The Syrian News Agency reported that the Syrian army had managed to seize large amounts of weapons and ammunition, including explosive belts, and a lot of military equipment (SANA, February 14, 2019).

Northeastern Syria
ISIS's terrorist and guerrilla activity in the Al-Raqqah region continues
ISIS's terrorist and guerrilla operations in Al-Raqqah (ISIS's former "capital" in Syria) continue:
According to the ISIS-affiliated Mu'ta News Agency, in the city of Al-Raqqah, two bodies of SDF fighters were found with marks of gunshots (Drexl Spivey@RisboLensky Twitter account, February 15, 2019).
On February 17, 2019, a car bomb exploded in Al-Raqqah. Damage was caused to property but there were no reports of casualties (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, February 18, 2019). So far, no claim of responsibility was found, but it is reasonable to assume that ISIS was behind the attack.
ISIS's guerrilla activity around Al-Mayadeen in the Euphrates Valley
ISIS operatives carry out guerrilla activity against the SDF forces around the city of Al-Mayadeen (southeast of Deir ez-Zor) and the city of Deir ez-Zor. These two cities are outside the ISIS enclave which mostly fell into the hands of the SDF. It appears that behind those ISIS attacks are ISIS networks operating in the area, which is yet to be mopped up thoroughly.
Following are reports of attacks carried out in the past week:
On February 16, 2019, ISIS operatives attacked the SDF forces in a village about 14 km north of Al-Mayadeen. The SDF spokesman announced that three members of an ISIS sleeper cell who had carried out the attack were killed. During searches conducted by the SDF, two foreign fighters were apprehended (Mostafa Bali's Twitter account, February 16, 2019).
On February 17, 2019, two persons unknown (in the ITIC's assessment, ISIS operatives) mounted on motorcycles had shot at a van with an SDF fighter about 9 km north of Al-Mayadeen. Two civilians were wounded and the fighter fled the scene (Furat Post Facebook page, February 17, 2019).
On February 17, 2019, persons unknown (possibly ISIS operatives) shot at an SDF fighter in a village about 5 km north of Deir ez-Zor. The shots were fired from the east bank of the Euphrates. The fighter was wounded (Deir ez-Zor 24 Twitter account, February 17, 2019). So far, no claim of responsibility was found, but it may be assumed that ISIS operatives were behind the attack.
Southern Syria
Fighting continues against the last remaining operatives in the ISIS enclave northeast of As-Suwayda
In the Al-Safa area northeast of As-Suwayda, there are still ISIS operatives remaining even after the Syrian army had ostensibly finished mopping up the area. This week it was reported that following the reappearance of ISIS operatives, the Syrian Air Force had resumed its airstrikes against the Al-Safa area. It is estimated that about 200 ISIS operatives are in the area, some of them locals and others foreign fighters (Al-Modon, February 14, 2019).
Main developments in Iraq
ISIS's terrorist and guerrilla activity
Following are the highlights of ISIS's activity in the past week (according to ISIS's reports):
Salah al-Din Province: An IED was detonated against a vehicle belonging to the Iraqi security forces east of Tikrit (Shabakat Shumukh, February 14, 2019).
Diyala Province: Mortar shells were fired at a Shiite village some 70 km northeast of Baqubah (Shabakat Shumukh, February 14, 2019).Diyala Province: A rocket was fired at the Iraqi security forces in the area of the village of Qara Tapa, some 112 km east of Baqubah (Shabakat Shumukh, February 16, 2019).
The Iraqi-Saudi border: According to an Iraqi security source, ISIS abducted seven residents some 100 km north of the Iraqi-Saudi border. Three days previously, three civilians were abducted in the city of Rawa, in Al-Anbar Province (Al-Sumaria, February 18, 2019). These abductions may indicate a modus operandi aimed at obtaining bargaining chips for the release of prisoners or for collecting a ransom.
Counterterrorist activities by the Iraqi security forces
Following are the main counterterrorist activities carried out by the Iraqi security forces:
Al-Anbar Province: A force of the 7th Division (Iraqi Army) and the Tribal Mobilization (Sunni militias loyal to the Iraqi regime) rescued two residents of Haditha who had been abducted by ISIS (Iraqi News Agency, February 16, 2019).
Al-Anbar Province: The Iraqi security forces detained a senior ISIS commander at a checkpoint in the city of Ramadi. The commander was taken for questioning (Iraqi News Agency, February 18, 2019).
Nineveh Province: An Iraqi intelligence force blew up a car bomb driven by a suicide bomber about 10 km northwest of Mosul (Al-Sumaria News, February 17, 2019).
Nineveh Province: A police force detained three ISIS operatives in eastern Mosul. The three were active in ISIS's ministry of the army during the period when ISIS controlled the city. One of them was a senior commander (Iraqi News Agency, February 18, 2019).
Popular Mobilization sappers found ammunition and dozens of IEDs belonging to ISIS during searches carried out some 36 km southeast of Mosul. They were detonated in a controlled manner (al-hashed.net, February 17, 2019).
EFPs, shells and pressure-sensitive bars found by a Popular Mobilization force southeast of Mosul (al-hashed.net, February 17, 2019)
Karbala Province: Acting on intelligence, the Intelligence and Counterterrorism Directorate of the Karbala Province found an arsenal of weapons and equipment belonging to ISIS (Al-Sumaria, February 15, 2019).
The Sinai Peninsula and Egypt
Attack on an Egyptian checkpoint near Al-Arish Airport
On the morning of February 16, 2019, ISIS operatives attacked an Egyptian army checkpoint in the Al-Safa neighborhood near Al-Arish Airport. There were exchanges of fire between the sides, in which 15 Egyptian soldiers were killed (including the checkpoint commander, an officer with the rank of lieutenant). According to the Egyptian Armed Forces Spokesman, a manhunt for the ISIS operatives was underway south of Al-Arish (Facebook page of the Egyptian Armed Forces Spokesman, August 16, 2019).

ISIS's Sinai Province claimed responsibility for the attack. According to the claim of responsibility, ISIS's operatives attacked an Egyptian army post near Al-Arish Airport and 20 soldiers were killed in the attack. The rest of the soldiers at the post fled the scene. ISIS operatives took control of the post and seized weapons and booty (Shabakat Shumukh, February 16, 2019).
In the ITIC's assessment, this multi-casualty attack shows that despite the ongoing campaign waged by the Egyptian security forces against the operatives of ISIS's Sinai Province, they are having difficulty uprooting them. ISIS attacks against the Egyptian security forces (and against other targets) continue uninterruptedly, with an emphasis on the northern Sinai Peninsula.

In 2016, the power station was attacked by the rebel organizations many times. It went up in flames and was put out of commission. In 2017, it underwent maintenance and was connected once again to the Syrian power grid (Al-Khabar, a Syrian news website, May 4, 2017). ↑

Q: Comparing Numbers Two number in bash I don't know where the problem is: when I execute this, I get an error:
./script.sh: line 4: if[ 7 -gt 5 ]: command not found
./script.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token then'
./script.sh: line 5: `then'

#!/bin/bash
read a
read b
if[ $a -gt $b ]
then
echo "$a is greater than $b"
elif [ $a -lt $b ]
then
echo "$a is less than $b"
else
echo "$a is equal to $b"
fi

A: The syntax for if in bash follows:
if COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; [ elif COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; ]... [ else COMMANDS; ] fi

Note the space following if; it is mandatory. Note also that [ isn't any kind of special syntax; it's just a command, same as ls or grep. You can't type ifgrep, so you can't type if[ either.
Because if[ is not if, you weren't in an if block, so then was unexpected, thus your syntax error.

Thus:
if [ "$a" -gt "$b" ]   # Correct

not
if ["$a" -gt "$b" ]    # Wrong because of lack of space

or
if[ $a -gt $b ]        # Wrong because of lack of space and lack of quotes

(Leaving the quotes out leaves you open to a completely separate set of bugs).

Bigfoot Biomedical Inc. is a medical technology start-up headquartered in Milpitas, California, founded by a team of people with personal connections to type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

History

The foundation of Bigfoot Biomedical was started when co-founder Bryan Mazlish's son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Mazlish developed a control algorithm to drive the first automated artificial pancreas device for his wife and son.

In 2014, Mazlish joined with Jeffrey Brewer, CEO of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and Lane Desborough, chief engineer at Medtronic, to form SmartLoop Labs in order to scale and commercialize the technology.

In February 2015, the company was renamed Bigfoot Biomedical Inc. following an article published in Wired Magazine about the work of Bryan Mazlish as someone who'd successfully hacked their own automated system and dubbing him "Bigfoot."

In May 2015, Bigfoot acquired the assets of Asante Solutions, former manufacturer of the Snap insulin pump.

In June 2017, Bigfoot acquired London-based start-up Patients Pending, LTD makers of the Timesulin smart insulin pen, to lead the development of a smart pen solution for people utilizing multiple daily injections to manage their diabetes.

In July 2017, Bigfoot entered an agreement with Abbott to develop and commercialize diabetes management systems integrating Abbott's FreeStyle® Libre glucose sensing technology with Bigfoot's insulin delivery solutions in the United States.

In July 2020 the FDA accepted for review the Bigfoot Unity™ Diabetes Management Program, a dose-decision support system utilizing proprietary smart pen caps and integrating Abbott's FreeStyle® Libre 2 continuous glucose monitoring platform.

Portfolio
Bigfoot's portfolio also includes the Bigfoot Autonomy Diabetes Management Program with a closed-loop, automated insulin delivery system, sometimes referred to as an "artificial pancreas." It received the FDA Breakthrough Device designation.

Echo Entertainment's Queensland casinos to get 'Star' treatment
BY Jasmine Solana ON August 28, 2015
TAGs: Echo Entertainment, Jasmine Solana, John O'Neill, Jupiter, Queensland, The Star, The Star Entertainment Group, Treasury
The Treasury and Jupiter casinos in Queensland are about to get a "star" makeover.
Echo Entertainment, which operates the two casinos, said Friday it will phase out the Treasury and Jupiter branding as part of the company's plan to rebrand as The Star Entertainment Group.
"The intention is to change the parent company name to The Star Entertainment Group Limited with the properties to be known—via a staged rebranding process—as The Star, Sydney; The Star, Gold Coast; and The Star, Brisbane," said Echo Chairman John O'Neill in a statement.
According to a Sydney Morning Herald report, Echo's current name was created after its parent company—Tabcorp Holdings—decided to split its casino and wagering operations in 2011.
Echo has already rebranded the Sydney casino to The Star, with the Brisbane and Gold Coast casinos to follow. Details of the rebranding will be made public during the company's annual general meeting in November.
The casino operator is banking on the success of its flagship Sydney property, hoping the name change will also bring good luck to its other casinos. Last February, The Star in Sydney posted a 38.8 increase to $820 million in normalized revenue, while its earnings rose 54 percent to $136 million.
"It is important that the new identity will still give us the flexibility to deliver thrilling experiences but with local spirit—which is what our branding position demands," said Echo CEO Matt Bekier.
The company still has big plans for the Sydney casino, including a $100 million makeover to help it compete with Crown Resorts' Crown Sydney, which is scheduled to open in 2019.
Echo has also committed to shell out $345 million in redeveloping the Gold Coast property, which opened in 1985. The casino operator is also teaming up with Hong Kong's Chow Tai Food Enterprises and the Far East Corporation to build a multi-billion mega resort in Brisbane.
Treasury will retain its current branding until 2022, when its facilities are moved to the new Queen's Wharf development.
"The transformation at Jupiters and work on Queen's Wharf need to be well advanced to ensure that when the properties do rebrand, they meet the world-class standards the company wants The Star Entertainment Group to represent," the casino operator said.
Until then, it's business as usual for the Echo casinos.
Jupiters recently signed on as the first major sponsor of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
O'Neill said the Games will coincide with the unveiling of the new $345 redevelopment, which will include a six-star, 17-storey all-suite hotel tower.
"The legacy of the Games will be to again position the Gold Coast as an Australian destination of choice for tourists and investors for decades to come," he said in a statement.
