LÜNEBURG HEATH
You will find historic buildings all over the city center. Luckily Lüneburg was not destroyed over the decades through e. g. fires or wars. Though locals call the western part of the center 'old town', because here you find a high amount of original housings side by side. It is a beautiful area to stroll around and discover some of the details of the various decorated facades.
The street of houses leading to St. Michael's Church is called "Auf dem Meere" and part of the so-called subsidence area. In some spots the ground water table is less than one metre below the earth. Due to this, the cellars cannot be used in almost all of the houses and most of them have been filled in for safety reasons.
House No. 9 in the middle of the street is especially eye-catching. Massive subsidence caused by the salt mining made the house shift quite a bit. The middle part of this neo-classical building has a basement, so this part did not move as much as the sides of the house.
The street which is running parallel is called 'Neue Sülze' and runs from the town hall to the saline. It forms the edge of the salt deposit. The surface extends over 1.2 sq kilometres, making it one of the largest in North Germany. The pure salt is found at 35-40 metres. In successful years, the people from Lüneburg extracted 25,000 tons of salt per annum. Over the years depressions became more frequent. Depleted caves collapsed and took the houses built on top with them. The subsidence was the reason why a whole district was scheduled for demolition after the Second World War. Despite massive protests, about 180 houses with over 600 flats were torn down. Only when the 'Arbeitskreis Lüneburger Altstadt' (short: ALA) was founded in 1972, the district could be saved with the help of donations. ALA's Renaissance fairs are legendary, all the net profits from these events are used for monument preservation.
Lüneburger Alstadt
Auf dem Meere
After the castle including the convent and church of St. Michael was torn down, it was rebuilt here in this spot inside the city wall between 1376 and 1418. In regard of the massive subsidiaries the location at the foot of Kalkberg was not a wise choice. Due to the salt mining the tower and the hall church were heavily damaged. Some of the columns on the left inside the church are inclining more than 60 centimetres to the side. The 'Klosterkammer Hannover' has to authorize extensive restorations on a regular basis, therefore little is left of the Gothic interior.
All in all St. Michaels boasts ten church bells. The youngest was cast in 1975, the oldest is rumoured to have beckoned Henry the Lion to attend the church service. The tower with its baroque helmed roof is inclined more than 70 centimetres to the South-West, due to the salt mining subsidiaries. When you enter the tower hall, you will discover the brass measuring point set into the floor covering.
A special work of art is the pulpit, created in 1602 by the sculptor David Schwenke. The once famous altar, the 'Golden Table' was destroyed through robbery, ignorance and neglect.

She advised him to stop drinking. Take care of your grandfather. If you wait right here, I'll go get what you want. Do you have a contingency plan? The bandits put a gag in his mouth. This book is pretty easy for me to read. I'm thinking of launching a new website. The slogan "Arbeit macht frei" at the gates of the Nazi concentration camps was entirely cynical. The prisoners who believed the deceitful promise that work would set them free had no real chance of freedom, regardless of how much they laboured. Many of them were worked to death; many more were deliberately exterminated. I don't know how to express my thanks. I saw her take your keys.
Brendan can't come to the phone right now. And no one ever knew a Battle Sheaf to be among the last load at a Harvest Home. His reply was logical. You want something from me, don't you? This necklace of Jane's is a gift from her grandmother. Rahul is a retired detective. Do you have any children you haven't told me about? And that's how I met your mother. We were afraid that we might hurt his feelings. I think that would really hurt.
In reality, all they are interested in is power. I figured out why the machine wouldn't work. Don't worry, I don't want to hurt him. Mayo told us the good news. That's simple. His knowledge of Chinese enabled us to carry out our plan smoothly. America's Civil War lasted four years. Do you want to play soccer with us? Are these the only ones you have? Darren isn't artistic.
Bryan is agoraphobic. I want to know about him. I didn't want to work there. I have great difficulty in handling the child. There's nothing I want to say to you. You may leave us, Jimmy. I didn't send an email to anyone today. As soon as she wakes up, we'll turn on the music. Her face was soaked with tears. He's had some very good results lately.
Sho's head is covered with bandages. Stanley and I have been close friends for years now. Who's your favorite fictional character? The town was zoned for factories and residences. How do you feel about what's happening to Becky? Could you please get me a taxi? In short, I disagree. Warren asked Izumi to bring a salad to the party. Roger, what you say makes sense and I agree with you. This is the same purse that I lost a week ago.
Did you tell Kathleen about tomorrow's meeting? I'm trying to do that right now. I don't know if I understand exactly what you're trying to say. She sneaked up behind me. Terri collected coffee cups. Why don't I stay with you? I'm glad you got to meet her. I'm escaping. The drowning man called for help, but in vain. He has a very materialistic outlook on life.
Timothy was still a bachelor at that time. You're not fooling anyone, Grant, we know it's you. My big brother shared his cake with me. William Shakespeare was an English playwright. Elizabeth is a handsome man, apparently in his thirties. I need to talk to you. I have turned twenty. When and where did you buy that old clock? You should arrive at school before nine. I'm in no position to help you.
I personally don't have anything against it. It's been good. The mind's greatest good is the knowledge of God, and the mind's highest virtue is to know God. It was midnight. As it happened, I left my homework at home. Do you want me to talk to him? We can't satisfy everyone. Let's start with beer. Catherine is as blind as a bat. The police found boxes that contained marijuana and other drugs inside the trunk of the car.
The scenery at this mountain is very beautiful. Joanne's whole face shows what he is thinking. I love spring. Redistribution of wealth is a controversial subject. Tracy felt a lump in his throat. I couldn't ask you to do that. They're your friends, not mine. I told her no. Ariana Grande is one of the best pop musical artists in the United States. He is unrealistic.
Did you ask the others? Please sell me that. I never get seasick because I am used to traveling by boat. Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket. Can you remember this game? I hope Dustin feels the same way you do about this. You're not funny. Where is the Mexican embassy? Oskar wanted Pat to bring him a cup of coffee. Do you eat at home or eat out?

Q: Convert UNIX time (INT) to timestamp in BigQuery I have a column "date_time" in a BigQuery table which contains unix timestamp values like "1569888224". The problem is that these values are integer data types, not timestamp data types, so I do not seem to have an easy way to convert them to human readable date/times. Does anyone have a good way of converting these integers into datetime values in BigQuery?
Thanks!

A: A shortcut to anyone who is trying to convert a Firebase event_timestamp in BigQuery:
SELECT
TIMESTAMP_SECONDS(CAST(CAST(event_timestamp as INT64)/1000000 as INT64)) as converted,
event_timestamp,
event_date
FROM [table] LIMIT 10

A: Depend on your column values, but in general int64 values consist of 16 digits such as;
- event_timestamp
- user_first_touch_timestamp
- etc...

you should use below functions;
TIMESTAMP_MICROS(event_timestamp) event_datetime
TIMESTAMP_MICROS(user_first_touch_timestamp) user_first_touch

if it doesn't consist of 16 digits, you can try the other functions which one is suitable for you;
TIMESTAMP_SECONDS
TIMESTAMP_MILLIS

A: This can be solved by using BigQuery's TIMESTAMP_SECONDS function - https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/timestamp_functions#format_timestamp
select TIMESTAMP_SECONDS(date_time) from table;

Q: Maximal compact subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb Q_p)$ In
Bump, Daniel, Automorphic forms and representations, Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics. 55. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. xiv, 574 p. (1997). ZBL0868.11022.,
Exercise 4.5.1 on p. 487 it is claimed that every maximal compact subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb Q_p),\ p$ prime, is conjugate to a subgroup of $K:=\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb Z_p)$. However, I am confused by this result since there seems to be a maximal compact subgroup which is not conjugate to $K$, namely the subgroup
$$K_1:=\langle B,\omega\rangle_{group}\leq \mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb Q_p),$$
where $B:=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}
a&b\\
c&d
\end{pmatrix}\in K\mid c\equiv 0\text{ mod }p\right\}$ and $\omega:=\begin{pmatrix}
0&p\\
1&0
\end{pmatrix}$. On the Bruhat-Tits building $K$ corresponds to the stabilizer of the vertex given by the standard lattice $L_0:=e_1\mathbb Z_p+e_2\mathbb Z_p$ whereas $K_1$ stabilizes the midpoint between the vertices $L_0$ and $L_1:=e_1\mathbb Z_p+e_2p\mathbb Z_p$. In the overview article at https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.217.9089&rep=rep1&type=pdf it is also claimed that $K_1$ is maximal compact, but here for the case of the projective general linear group $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\Bbb Q_p)$.
Any ideas which detail I am overseeing here? Thanks for any help in advance!

A: As Aphelli pointed out in the comments, with $\omega$ also $\omega^{-2}=\begin{pmatrix}p^{-1}&0\\
0&p^{-1}
\end{pmatrix}$ is in $K_1$ and $p^{-n}$ diverges to $\infty$ in the $p$-adic norm. So $K_1$ is only compact in $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\Bbb Q_p)$ where $\omega^{-2}$ is the identity.

I am working on a Budget Request report. In previous transformations the people who see this report just wanted to know which rows of data changed (IE it which Budget Requests were updated/changed/etc.) but now they would like to see how they have changed from the previous requests. Essentially, I just want to see the columns in Pentaho be marked if they changed. Is that possible in PDI?
Previously I was using the Merge Rows (diff) step to show the rows that change, how can we do that for columns?
I am not sure what is your exact requirement.
We ended up using a SQL query and running the data through Pentaho, just fyi.

Al Shabaab Capture Far Libah Area From Pro-Government Ma'awisley Militia in Hiiraan Region
Jan 29th 2020 · 1 min read
The militant group Al-Shabaab has taken control of Far Libah area, about 45 kilometers from Beledwenye, the capital of the Hiiraan region, central Somalia.
The terrorists captured the town after brief clashes with a pro-government vigilante group known as Ma'awisley, who retreated to the outskirts of the town.
Intelligence shows that tensions are high in the area as the two opposing sides face each other on the outskirts of the town. It is the first time in at least five years that the town has fallen in Al-Shabaab's hands. Reports also indicate that reinforcements from government forces are expected to arrive in the area to support the Ma'awisley group.
Al Shabaab has been stepping up its efforts to recapture strategic towns and routes in Somalia to facilitate its activity central and southern Somalia where there is a heavy presence of the Islamic group affiliated to al Qaeda.

Ineffabilis Deus (букв. «Боже неописуемый»; 8 декабря 1854) — название буллы Римского папы Пия IX, провозгласившей догмат о непорочном зачатии Пресвятой Девы Марии. За 146 лет до этого, в 1708 году папа Климент XI сделал праздник Непорочного Зачатия Девы Марии официальным для Вселенской Церкви.

Содержание

В момент чтения буллы в соборе Святого Петра на Пия IX упал луч света, что показалось удивительным, учитывая что это было зимним утром, когда ни из одного окна Ватиканской базилики луч света обычно не достигал апсиды, где находился Папа. Окружающие восприняли это как «небесное подтверждение» сказанного.

A1 Top Story, Davie, Healthcare, Nova Southeastern University
NSU to pay $5.5 million to settle class-action suit over unsterile dental tools used on hundreds of patients, mostly children
From the NSU dental college's orthodontics website.
Nova Southeastern University will pay $5.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that arose after NSU disclosed that student dentists training in orthodontics failed to properly sterilize equipment used on patients, according to a Broward judge's final order.
The settlement includes payments of $3,000 each to 1,152 class members – mostly children – totaling nearly $3.5 million. Another 29 plaintiffs consolidated from other cases will receive $2,000 apiece, or $58,000. The lead plaintiff, Tiffany Aguero, whose young daughter was a patient at NSU's Post-Graduate Orthodontic Clinic, will receive $12,000.
Attorney Jay Cohen and his Fort Lauderdale law firm, Cohen, Blostein & Ayala, will collect $1.8 million in attorney's fees, plus $30,000 in costs. Another $100,000 was set aside to pay the costs of administering a settlement fund that will oversee the various payouts, under the deal approved by Broward Circuit Judge Nicholas Lopane on March 1.
In an interview Tuesday, Cohen placed the blame for what happened squarely on the university because too much pressure was placed on the post-graduate dental students.
"This happened because they were booking multiple procedures at the orthodontic clinic and the students were not capable or able to adequately sterilize for the next patients. They were sanitizing, not sterilizing," he said. "They knew about it for many, many months before they ever disclosed it to the patients."
No admissions by NSU
The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by NSU. The judge's order says his ruling "shall not be construed or used as an admission, concession, declaration or finding by or against the parties that their claims or defenses lack merit."
According to the class action complaint filed by Cohen in December 2018, the dentist residents at the clinic on the university's main campus in Davie did not follow Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines for Infection Control requiring heat sterilization of dental/orthodontic equipment. Instead, between July 2015 and February 2018 they wiped down those instruments with a surface disinfectant.
Attorney Jay Cohen
That failure exposed patients who underwent various dental and orthopedic procedures, including the placement or removal of braces, to viral infections and disease, the complaint said. None of the exposed patients became ill.
"Nevertheless, the named plaintiffs and the members of the settlement class claim to have suffered emotional distress" between the time they received the notification letter and the time they received their negative test results, the complaint says.
Patients notified
Court papers say that when NSU learned of the breach of sterilization protocol, it consulted with epidemiology and infection specialists from the CDC and the Florida Department of Health. Nova concluded the risk of infection was "extremely low,'' but ultimately decided to notify all patients who might be in danger "to seek testing for certain viruses they may have been exposed to" as "recommended by the CDC."
NSU's attorneys, Evan Marowitz of Miami's Cole Scott & Kissane and James L. White III of Bobo Ciotoli White & Russell in Palm Beach Gardens, sought to have the case dismissed in 2019, arguing the class plaintiffs received "qualified care." In the months that followed, records were obtained and video depositions were taken from a number of NSU administrators and employees, including President and CEO George Hanbury.
Court papers were filed in late February seeking judicial approval of the settlement, noting that both sides wanted to avoid the risks of trial. "Nova was facing up to 1,152 damage trials, the mere cost of which to defend, would, in and of itself, be extraordinarily high," the complaint said. The class faced a possible adverse legal ruling on an issue that "could defeat their claims entirely or defeat the grounds for class certification."
Judge Lopane agreed the deal was fair.
NSU spokesman Joe Donzelli declined to comment. "The university does not provide specific comments on any pending, current or past litigation, and is pleased that this case concluded without undue litigation," he said.
Plaintiff's attorney Cohen said the mistakes should not have occurred.
"This constitutes a lesson that you make sure you not only have compliance [of CDC requirements] but that you are monitoring compliance. That is so important in a healthcare setting," he said. "Something like this should never happen."

FDA Rolls Out New Action Plan for Medical Device Cybersecurity
By Douglas Bonderud 2 min read
Medical devices offer benefits to patients and physicians alike, but they also come with inherent risks. That's the basis of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s new "Medical Device Safety Action Plan," which aims to improve patient safety, explore regulatory solutions and advance medical device cybersecurity nationwide.
Evolving Symptoms
Cybercriminals are now targeting medical devices. Their goal is often to gather information related to configurations, networks shares and user groups, account policies, administrators and more. Motivated cybercriminals could even cause loss of life by breaching insecure medical devices, suggesting a pressing need for improved device control and oversight.
Developing Treatments
According to Help Net Security, the FDA aims to provide both owners and users with a "Software Bill of Materials" — a list of all software components used by a device. Ideally, this should allow end users to "better manage their networked assets and be aware of which devices in their inventory or use may be subject to vulnerabilities."
FCW reported that the administration is also considering new rules around patching: Devices directly linked to patient safety, such as pacemakers and insulin pumps, would require the capacity for ongoing patches and upgrades to improve medical device cybersecurity.
In addition, the plan earmarked $70 million of the FDA's requested 2019 budget to create a "go-team" for device attack investigations. As noted by Fierce Healthcare, the CyberMed Safety Expert Analysis Board (CYMSAB) would include both public and private experts. Manufacturers and the FDA could call on the CYMSAB to address high-risk vulnerabilities, evaluate potential device risks and adjudicate disputes.
According to the FDA's plan, there's currently a gap in medical device cybersecurity. The CYMSAB would be an "invaluable asset" to both the FDA and device manufacturers to help bridge the divide between device issues and effective investigations.
Improving Outcomes With Medical Device Cybersecurity
Seventy percent of healthcare organizations suffered a data breach in 2017, per the "2018 Thales Data Threat Report." More than half (55 percent) reported feeling "very" or "extremely vulnerable" to attacks. Part of this vulnerability stems from the 190,000 different devices produced by 18,000 firms across 21,000 manufacturing facilities regulated by the FDA.
The administration's new plan focuses on software transparency, mandatory patching and the creation of an investigative body to deliver a "universal view of device oversight" and improve medical device cybersecurity.

CISO January 31, 2023
CEO, CIO or CFO: Who Should Your CISO Report To?
As we move deeper into a digitally dependent future, the growing concern of data breaches and other cyber threats has led to the rise of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). This position is essential in almost every company that relies on digital information. They are responsible for developing and implementing strategies to harden the organization's defenses against cyberattacks.However, while many organizations don't question the value of a CISO, there should be more debate over who this important role reports…
Malware-as-a-Service Flaunts Its Tally of Users and Victims
As time passes, the security landscape keeps getting stranger and scarier. How long did the "not if, but when" mentality towards cyberattacks last — a few years, maybe? Now, security pros think in terms of how often will their organization be attacked and at what cost. Or they consider how the difference between legitimate Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) brands and Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) gangs keeps getting blurrier. MaaS operators provide web-based services, slick UX, tiered subscriptions, newsletters and Telegram channels that keep users…
How the Silk Road Affair Changed Law Enforcement
The Silk Road was the first modern dark web marketplace, an online place for anonymously buying and selling illegal products and services using Bitcoin. Ross Ulbricht created The Silk Road in 2011 and operated it until 2013 when the FBI shut it down. Its creator was eventually arrested and sentenced to life in prison. But in a plot twist right out of a spy novel, a cyber attacker stole thousands of bitcoins from Silk Road and hid them away. It…

Lego remains one of the most widely known toy brands but it needs to keep pace width changing tastes.
Is there anyone out there who has never, at any stage of their life, played with Lego?
If so, then you are in a tiny minority. According to Lego UK, three-quarters of UK households own Lego toys, while across the developed world the brand claims a 97% awareness rate.
The Lego brand has long dominated the UK construction toy market. Recently, however, it has been experiencing greater competition than at any time in its trading history. This year its UK market share dipped below 60% for the first time.
Challengers to Lego's dominance are now coming from all quarters. US competitor K'Nex has been making steady inroads into the UK: its market share rose from 10% to 16% in the first six months of this year.
And while Lego also competes with the rest of the toy industry - it claims a 15% share of the boys' toys market and a 5% share of the total UK toy market-it is facing growing competition from child-oriented computer entertainment.
"We compete with all other pulls on children's leisure time," says Michael Moore, head of marketing at Lego UK.
There are signs that the company has realised it is far from immune to the fickle nature of the UK's junior consumers.
Last week Lego UK announced that it was reviewing advertising for both its theme park Legoland Windsor and for Lego System, the traditional Lego bricks that account for 60% of sales.
The UK is demanding more attention and a more tailored marketing programme that will fit the audience. That is why Lego has pulled Lego System's pan-European ad account out of Copenhagen-based agency Advance.
"Legoland Windsor is looking for a new creative proposal for 1997, while Lego System is looking for a more local solution to various communications problems for the UK market for 1997," says Moore.
At Legoland's launch in March, marketing manager Joanna Oswin told Marketing that the selling point of the park was "the power of the Lego brand".

Cause unknown for 'AIDS' without HIV
A mysterious immune deficiency syndrome in people not infected with
HIV is extremely rare, scientists have concluded. Reports of the syndrome,
dubbed 'non-HIV AIDS', caused a furore last July's AIDS conference in Amsterdam,
but after extensive research scientists have come up with no evidence that
it is new, nor that it is linked with any infectious agent.
Six reports and an editorial published in the 11 February issue of The
New England Journal of Medicine add to the earlier evidence reported last
August that the syndrome is rare. They show that the syndrome has been reported
sporadically since 1983, that it is not clustered into any specific group
that might suggest a route of transmission, and that the effects on the
immune systems of sufferers have been very varied.
A report from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta has identified
47 patients. Almost two-thirds of the cases had no traditional risk factors
for HIV infection, such as blood transfusions or unprotected anal sex. Sexual
contacts of the patients, people who had previously donated blood to the
patients, and household members who were interviewed, were all healthy.
There is 'no evidence' of a new transmissible agent.
Last summer in Amsterdam, two scientists studying some of the cases
claimed they had found evidence of a virus or virus-like agent in the patients'
cells (This Week, 25 July 1992). A third cautiously added that he had some
initial evidence of a virus, but subsequent studies have since brought negative
results. In any case, finding a virus would not have proved it causes disease.

All You Need to Know About Free Fire New Age
Competitive multiplayer
Garena Free Fire has recently dropped a new patch with a ton of exciting updates for both IOS and Android. Going by the name "New Age", this update comes packed with a lot of changes to the gameplay and UI, while bearing a plethora of new gifts for the Free Fire players.
These updates include new weapons, maps, armor attachments, UI revamping, and the LONE WOLF mode (although for a limited period of time). But that's not all that the new patch has to offer. In this article, we are going to explore each and everything that the new update has to offer.
Free Fire New Age is available to download on both Play Store and App Store, but players can also enjoy the seamless battles right on their big screens by playing Free Fire PC using Gameloop.
Free Fire New Age Game Modes
One of the most prominent updates coming with the new patch is definitely the changes to both old and new game modes including Lone Wolf, Clash Squad, and Rank Mode. The patch notes on the official site also shows a number of much-needed optimization for these game modes, that are essential for the game to run smoothly on all devices.
Clash Squad
Clash Squad Mode became quite a hit right after its release due to its unique gameplay experience and while team-play was a MAJOR part of this game mode, players always felt like something was missing.
This was partly due to the fact that the players were restricted to only request one item from their teammates early on when the game started.
But the "New Age" patch now allows the players to request more than just a single item when the match starts. Besides that developers have also made some minor changes to some parts of the map to improve the gameplay experience for the players, while decreasing the number of utility grenades that the players could carry during each round.
Playing alongside your favorite pals is great but the real test of skill can only be determined by taking on your competitor in a 1v1 fight. Players' love for Lone Wolf has made the developers to re-introduce the game mode with a number of exciting updates.
Although the mode is only going to stay in the game for a limited amount of time, it still remains a great source of face-offs for the Free Fire players. With an increased map size and the same Iron Cage format, you have to outwit your opponent with your strategic skills and of course, a different weapon every two rounds.
Rank Mode
The sense of competition is what drives the players to strive hard and over-rank other players on the leaderboard. Considering the time it took players to reach the Heroic rank (previously highest rank), the need for a new rank was imminent and with "New Age", the developers have introduced a Master rank to the game that players can reach after Heroic.
Free Fire New Age: New Gun and Armor Attachments
Besides all the updates to the game modes, Free Fire New Age has also introduced a brand-new gun to the list of arsenals in the game. MAC-10 is the newest addition to the SMG family that comes with a pre-attached silencer to take out the enemies without letting them know. MAC-10 also comes with a damage count of 24 and a fire rare of 0.09.
With that, New Age also comes with other small changes to the number of weapons in the game. Below is a list of all the changes:
Weapon Adjustment
- UMP: Effective range -5 percent
- MP5: Effective range -3 percent
- Thompson: Effective range -3 percent
- UZI: Effective range -5 percent
- MAG-7: Effective range -3 percent
- SCAR- Recoil: -10 percent
- M60: -30 percent
- UMP: Reload time: +5 percent
- XM8: Reload time: +5 percent
- MP5-X: Rate of fire: +5 percent
- Kar98k: Rate of fire: +10 percent
- Groza: Armor Penetration +20 percent
How to Play Garena Free Fire on PC
Garena Free Fire New Age has introduced a plethora of gameplay optimizations for the players to experience stutter-free gameplay. But despite it all, there are still a number of issues that hinder the player experience on mobile devices and that is exactly why Gameloop is the best android emulator to play Free Fire PC.
You can easily download and play Free Fire PC following a few simple steps as mentioned down below:
1. Download the GameLoop emulator from the official website.
2. Run the .exe file to install GameLoop.
3. Open GameLoop and search for Free Fire in the upper search bar.
4. Find Free Fire in the search results and click the "Install" button.
5. After installation is completed, click "Start" to begin the game.
6. Enjoy playing Free Fire for PC on GameLoop.


Nimm doch mal das PLA Profil und setze die Temperatur 5 Grad rauf.
Recommend Lead Free Nozzle for UM3?
Maybe a stainless steel nozzle?
Although you consider the possibilty of your error 18 not to be related to the firmware upgrade as small I think that indeed they just accidentally popped up around the same time. Please check the forum here for error 18 related topics. Unfortunately, I do not have a link at hand right now. Re-mounting the print head cable on the print head solves the promlen in almost every case.
Please try: - Cura Connect reset, if no change - Factory reset What firmware version is on that printer?
Da würde ich zuerst ein Cura Connect reset probieren. Wenn der nichts bringt, einen Factory reset. Normalerweise verhält sich kein UM3, egal welche Firmware Version, so komisch bei einem M0, der übrigens auch auf dem UM3 der GCODE für die Pause ist. Bezeichnend ist, dass das Problem auch auftaucht wenn am Gerät selbst pausiert wird.
An official training at Ultimaker with a certificate. Users are not supposed to open the bottom plate of the S5. If the cable is damaged you probably will have no other choice but to bring in the printer for warranty repair.
See the thread about firmware 5.2.8. It's a bug. A fix is WIP. Until then it is recommended by UM people to manually move the filament at start in order to compensate the wrong retract.
I sometimes see that too on my UM3 with fw 5.2.8. But a factory reset seems to cure that problem.
This post has to start with a strong disclaimer. What I will present below is a very dirty hack and to be considered extremely experimental. People who perform the described changes on the firmware 5.2.8 are doing this on their very own risk. I have just quickly tested this on an Ultimaker 3 and it worked for me but it might brick your printer. As we know there is a bug in firmware 5.2.8 which makes the printer retract both filaments before starting a xy calibration such that it prints the first block out of thin air instead of plastics. The logic behind this hack is to bring the (or some) firmware code in question back to what was e.g. in firmware 5.1.7 for the S5. First, you have to login into your printer (people who know what they are doing know how). Then you have to edit the file "generateXyTestPattern.py" in the folder "/usr/share/griffin/griffin/printer/procedures/wizard": line 206: replace "strategy=1" with "strategy=0" line 213: comment that line out line 225: replace "strategy=1" with "strategy=0" line 229: comment that line out Then you must perform a factory reset so these changes become effective. The printer then prints the calibration pattern correctly right from the start. However, the prime blobs it creates do not stick well to the glass and might be drawn around. And in order to repeat: It's not recommended to do this for standard users but maybe for one or the other here who likes to hack and accepts the risk to brick the printer.
Afaik only the user "root" exists. Be aware that using the deloper mode is somehow a grey zone in terms of warranty. If you are still in warranty you might want to contact your reseller for getting the UM3 working again properly.
Firmware 5.2.8, I assume? It's a bug and Ultimaker is working on a bugfix.
Then you have indeed only the two options left to revert to 4.3.3 by using the above described sd card method or let your reseller do this for you or fix it otherwise.
I assume you also tried it with a factory reset first?
So the second step does not work for you when you try it again?
Be aware that the Ultimaker 3 was already a printer aimed for the professional market and not for consumers back in 2016. Upgrading the Ultimaker 3 would make it logically another machine for pro users.
I'm sure you were informed about the advanced 3D printing kit for the Ultimaker 3? It also includes a front cover.
Maybe this is an information that helps not just Bobby: Ultimaker seemed to have changed something in the logic of the active leveling frequency setting on the UM3. Until firmware 4.3.3 the logic was that while "never" was selected, active leveling data from the last probing was still used for compensation. Since firmware 5.2.8, compensation is fully switched off while printing with the "never" option. So for those with an Ultimaker 3 and the leveling freqency set to "never" who have problems with the nozzle-to-bed distance, please make sure, you manually level the buildplate correctly or switch to a different leveling frequency settings like "every week".
Hi Bobby, in case you have an Ultimaker 3 and active leveling set to never, try a different option there. If it still prints too close to the buildplate, please check the capacitive sensor with the new diagnosis tool.
At this time (>30 minutes) it is pretty safe to repower the printer and repeat the update.
@piphil Did you perform both factory reset and Cura Connect reset? Revert to a firmware before 5.2 is not possible on a S5 for the end user.
Whether it is repaired under warranty or not can also depend on the condition of the silicone nozzle cover and on the fact if it was mounted correctly. So regularly checking that one and replacing it if it is damaged not only helps to avoid discussions about warranty but effectively protects your printhead from being flooded. Checking once a month is good for regular PLA printers, if you print materials with a higher printing temperature you may want to check it even more often.
Good thing about Cura and its detailed settings is that you don't have to set values for them - unless you have to (for individual objects or materials). Detailed settings start with the default settings if you switch over. And they stay like this independent of whether they are visible or not. If you set a different value in one or more detailed settings, you override the default setting. As you pointed out, you may use only a few of them and don't want the others to be visible. For that purpose you can use one of the presets from the three-line-menu right of the search box. You can also set your own visibilities by using the visibility dialog started by clicking on a cog symbol at the header of each category of settings. If you like a certain visibility setting so much that you want to save it you can use the "Custom Setting Visibility Set Creator" plugin by @ahoeben (to be installed from the Marketplace). For what all the different settings do you get a tooltip if you hover with the mouse over it. If that is not clear enough, there is a plugin called "settings guide" that currently did not yet make it into version 4.0 but is made by the Ultimaker devs so I guess/hope it will soon be in the Marketplace again. Finally, or as for the time being, you find a lot of explanations (actually the content of the settings guide) here: https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/manuals/software The pages for Cura 4 are filled day by day I think but a majority of the settings are already documented under Cura 3. I hope this helps you (and others) to find your way through the Cura detailed settings. And don't forget, you still can use the default settings and don't have change anything (for standard materials and many objects).


Let's start with Balmorra and the Republic.
Ah, this Sith I'd met before. She was the woman placed in charge of putting Balmorra under heel when I first came here as an Imperial Spy. I'd left things wrapped up quite nicely. Then here comes my Jedi Consular and she's brought the Sith woman to ruin. Was fun seeing the storylines connect like this.
The Empire's super weapon. Makes most normal weaponry malfunction.
Yes, I know, "what? another picture of Balmora's skies?" What can I say, it fascinates me.
Some special Imperial flyers we got to destroy.
Mid destruction pics. Heh heh.
A really lovely set of waterfalls.
View as we struggled for an hour to figure out how to get to it! (We went the hard way. Sigh. Quite easy once we really figured it out.
X -771 Y 2050 Z139 Willpower +4 Booyah!
Now for Tatooine with my spy.
Some super cool lit mushrooms in a cave.
Giant dead thing in the same cave. Poor thing.
Approach to Bug Town, where the Republic is holed up.
Blacksun and Perelay have done a bunch of work. This is their place from a distance.
Interior of the open area.
The netherbrick is looking pretty cool.
Ah! My road! My first road since we've had to start over. Nothing like seeing the sucker glow in the night.
Finally found the second village. Spent the night safely indoors at the church. The zombies who've been banging on the door just caught fire in the growing sunlight. Yes!
Nether plant. For some potions? J had a nice little patch growing. He lives so far away from everyone else, they built a shortcut through the Nether to get to him. Dang!
J's bridge to his watermelon and pumpkin fields.
View of J's place from the bridge.
Heard there were multiple sandstone styles so did a little experiment while waiting for night to pass. Top are 'hieroglyph' sandstone (not impressed – thought it would be more hieroglyphy). Bottom has 2 regular sandstone and a smoother sandstone.
The jungle by village 2. Building a road through there is proving challenging. Whee!
A local beastie. Don't remember seeing him on the Republic side.
All those nifty places to crawl through. We were sure we'd see a holocron here but no.
We had a major crash on the Minecraft server. There was a void that wouldn't go away and then started filling up with more and more creepers and zombies. It overloaded the thing. Happened when I wasn't home, which meant hubby didn't take any PICTURES~! Nooooo! The humanity! We're having to start from scratch again. The hunt for a new home begins. Wahhhhhh!
If you click for the larger picture, you'll see like 17 or more squids! All in one spot. I've never seen so many at once.
And finally a close up of my Imperial Spy Larana. I find them both terribly beautiful, each in their own way. No?
On Balmorra with the Jedi.
Super cool moving 3D hologram of a weapons driod. If you click for the bigger version you can see labels that pop up around it describing systems and whatnot. So cool!
Some super deep elevator shafts at the Droid Factory.
The huge assembly line was way cool.
And what is a giant factory without giant energy couplings!
Floating dead guy. Heh heh. And he kept swinging his light stick like he was practicing baseball.
A closeup of the datacron.
Now onto Tatooine with the spy.
Jawas doing what Jawas do best.
Took my close up pic from this one. Totally a coincidence the sidekick ended up the same race. lol. I got more bling.
Love the look of the gate area.
Back on Balmorra we logged in to a surprise.
That's a player dancing up there. No idea how he got there. But he was having a good time. lol.
Surprise datacron! In Bugtown there's a locked chest on the middle of a split bridge. Found the key with the Junk Dealer vendor across the lake by the shuttle. Cost 5,000 credits but I decided to risk it and we were so glad I did. Since we were grouped, it allowed him to get it as well. Awesome!
Hard to reach vantage point, but what a view!
Dude was not doing very well holding in his lunch. Bleah!
Tatooine again! I was busy. lol.
Destroyed land cargo ship, still fresh.
Some nice Sand People art!
The guys have been busy! I finally got back to road building.
The kids have changed the wall around the village. I think this looks way cool!
Wow, I didn't take pics of my place. AGAIN! Argh! lol. Finally got all the stone replaced with the mossy stone brick. Looks so good!
Ah the Imperials really do have such cool intimidating stations.
Safety always seems to be a problem. They always have all these open energy beams. People could get ideas, don't you know.
I don't remember if I'd run across this when I was here as a Jedi. But I loved how much this resembles the set ups in the red light districts in medieval Japan. Window shopping was quite the business.
A truly intimidating manufacturing area. Had been sealed for a 1,000 years but was going the whole time keeping anyone attempting to come in out.
Yeah, some peeps didn't make it.
A yes, the corpses of men and machines who'd previously tried to gain egress. Look at those guns!
Do love that neon! Hee!
My robotic disguise. This was fun.
These lamps were just cool.
Had to go back to Dromund Kaas to report. Must say I never did quite tell her Darkness that the man I brought back was dead.
I'm a little worried about this guy. Oozing darkness while meditating cannot be a good thing.
As I'd guessed, my spy has now been sent to Tatooine. I finally for my speeder! Woot!
Now to the Republic side…still at Balmorra.
Nice droid weapon cannon. Back away slowly.
Republic scientist hard at work!
Minecraft! And back to the original graphics as there was a major update and the texture pack peeps aren't caught up.
This is my place! I'd spotted the location I wanted not long after the new world had been created, but hadn't been able to find it again.
Naturally gutted (meaning it was created this way by the system) I've now totally encased it in glass for my own nefarious purposes. Like sleeping! Hah!
View down to the nice small lake beside the property from the highest point of my new home.
Creepers and spiders saying howdy.
From the inside. Found some bricks with moss that are PERFECT for this. Replaced the stone here with that and it looks marvelous! Of course I forgot to take a picture. Sigh. Can't wait to see the look of it once the texture pack is updated! Squee!
Still on Balmorra on the Republic side at Bug Town.
The bugs main spawning spot. It was eerie, especially with the ooze coming down all the time.
That's the queen guarding her kiddies.
This dude looked super duper nasty, so we left him alone.
My Imp spy on Nad Shaddaa. I found these posters rather interesting.
One of the less reputable areas. Still a ton of neon.
Camp site for a set of baddies inside. Loved the carpet!
Some weird scientific thingie. The floating doohikies looked like giant hemoglobin.
The Flame in all his alien glory.
I liked the overall feel of the set up here. They really came up with some truly interesting flooring.
Some NPCs looking way too serious.
Imperial advertising. I guess you can't get away from car sales no matter what side you're on. Hee!
View while I was road building.
My wooden bridge across a lake. You can see one of the safe houses in the background. (I build those so peeps can have someplace safe to stop at when it's night time. Not safe out there at night! Eek!
Creeper bidding his time while I am snug inside the safe house.
With the new Misa texture pack the village golems look way cool!
Some nasty spiders waiting to assault me as I try to get somewhere safe in time.
Finally got the moon shot over the kid's castle. heh heh.
One of the skelly models for the texture pack. I really like the skeletal Robin Hood one. Hee! Oh and you can see my gravel road.
Sun rising from the top of the safe house. You can see the wooden bridge going off into the distance.
Kids came up with their version of Japanese Torii gates for their place.
Daughter did creation mode and built herself a Stargate. Got the effect inside from water. Nice!
Yes, torches are a must have to live in Minecraft.
Hubby's cathedral. He's slowly replacing the stone with brick. The floor is made of obsidian which is super cool in this texture pack.
Waiting for daylight to go out and do more roads. Wheee!
Semi chaotic last few days, so let's see what I can dig up for this week.
Seems you can color a sheep's wool while it is on the sheep and the sheep will always grow that color wool from then on. The kids have all sorts of colors going on.
The son-in-law found a realistic texture pack called Misa's. Love what it does to the torches. From here on down it's all this texture pack. As you can see the Siamese looks more like a real cat now.
That's it for this week! Enjoy!
And they say playing games isn't good for you. Bwahahahahahahaha~!
Lights so bright you almost can't see the world above.
Loved how expansive this area was and all the giant tubing for the world's infrastructure.
Super cybernetic enhanced fighters in a glass jar, being made ready for combat. They didn't like being woken up one bit! Hah!
Water washes everything down. Unfortunately, he hit both water levers and the lag was horrid. The pics for the rest of the process didn't take.
This is Perelay's pumpkin and watermelon patch. He's also got an automated system for harvesting this too. Piston rather than water based.
Pretty spiffy. Sadly everyone wants to show off what they've done since I was last on, which means my road building efforts suffer terribly each time. lol.
Dead bug in Bug Town. That place was like being in my own Starship Trooper's movie without the heavy suits. They were everywhere!!! Mean suckers too.
Minecraft pics. There was new stuff to see!
The new AIs for the villagers is still whacko though. That's like 80 villagers all trying to cram into one little house and then suiciding off the roof. They also love to just open and close doors. It's insane.
The golems get a little crazy too.
The new jungle areas. The trees look pretty cool.
Trying to chase down the locations for hubby and the kids, I ran across this funky peak with empty bottom. I may have found a possible place. Bwahahahaha.
I think hubby and Steve made that weird water hill.
Snow is so pretty here. Just weird when you're being rained on, take a step, and it's all snow.
That's it this time out. Hope you've had an awesome weekend!
Last few pics before we left Alderaan.
So scenic, so calming. You wouldn't know all the infighting going on from this view.
Next mission in the class quest sent me back to Tatooine. There's just something about the sky here. Oh and the evil balloon too!
Never saw these cool cliff side dwellings the first time through this planet. Bad tourist!
The imperial side has a few things the Republic side doesn't. So even though it is the same planet, you get some different eye candy.
The backside of my ship. She's so CUTE!!!!
This is my first look at Balmorra. Coolest energy shield covers the war stricken city.
This gigantic thing you'd expect to see at a stadium is actually in a cantina. Can't tell if it's the menu or something else. Bet they do a great sports watching day! Heh.
Some of the local beasties.
One of those round plasma guns. Cool!
Non-aggressive bugger but he's funky looking!
This little factory machine was going a little haywire. Frying bots left and right. Not a pretty sight.
Close up view of one of the guns. Big sucker.

Trading on terror to profit a few
Los Angeles Times, USA
The U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement deserves greater scrutiny as it makes its way in Congress under the radar.
By Antonia Juhasz, Antonia Juhasz is the author of "The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time" (ReganBooks 2006 (TheBushAgenda.net) and a visiting scholar with the Institute for Policy Studies.
Even as Congress has finally begun a serious debate about whether U.S. troops should be withdrawn from Iraq, another part of President Bush's "war on terror" is advancing with far less public fanfare. Last month, the Senate Finance Committee approved the implementation of the U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement and cleared the way for its consideration by Congress.
The agreement is part of the president's dual strategy for fighting the war on terror: direct military engagement and free trade. Then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick first announced the policy on Sept. 20, 2001, saying that the administration would be "countering terror with trade."
Bush reiterated the pledge four years later when he told the United Nations that "by expanding trade, we spread hope and opportunity to the corners of the world, and we strike a blow against the terrorists. Our agenda for freer trade is part of our agenda for a freer world."
In the years that followed, the war in Iraq - and the administration's stated reasons for launching it - have been widely challenged, but the president's free trade agenda has received far less scrutiny.
Just two months after invading Iraq, Bush announced his plan for a U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Area, which he said would include 20 countries from western Africa to the Persian Gulf. To make it happen, he established a unique negotiating platform involving a series of bilateral negotiations between the U.S. and each of the individual countries.
If all goes according to plan, the individual free trade agreements will be united under the U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Area by 2013. Negotiations have progressed rapidly as nations throughout the region seek to prove they're with the United States, not against it.
Oman's accord would be the fifth free trade agreement between the U.S. and a Middle Eastern country, and the fourth implemented by Bush.
Oman is a relatively small country (just slightly smaller than Kansas) at the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula between the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. An absolute monarchy, Oman has been governed by Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said since 1970. Although its reserves are modest, oil accounts for 75% of the nation's export earnings and the vast majority of all U.S. imports from Oman (which, in total, were just $422 million in 2004). Apparel is the only other major import product. U.S. oil, energy and apparel companies, in turn, are likely to be the only major U.S. beneficiaries of the agreement.
It should not be surprising, therefore, that the U.S. corporate lobbying group pushing for the MEFTA (the aptly named U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Coalition) includes among its 120 members Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Bechtel and Halliburton - companies intimately connected to the Bush administration that have been big winners in the war on terror. Their "winnings," however, have not translated into greater oil security for the U.S., lower prices at the pump for U.S. consumers or lower rates of terrorism.
The Oman free trade agreement provides these companies with expansive new rights and greatly increased access to Oman's economy, a template they hope will spread from agreement to agreement across the Middle East.
For instance, Oman will give U.S. firms substantially greater access to its service sector, likely including energy, which is largely nationalized. The Omani government also is restricted under the agreement from giving preference to local over foreign companies in virtually all circumstances, including in its energy sector.
On Jan. 19, then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Portman sent a letter to Oman's minister of commerce and industry. He affirmed that, when it signs contracts, the Omani government may not give preference to Omantel (the nation's second-largest employer after the government), Petroleum Development Oman or Oman Liquefied Natural Gas - that is, to the primary Omani exploration and production companies largely owned by the government of Oman.
Thus, U.S. firms will receive significantly greater access to Oman's oil profits without any clear benefits for Oman's economy.
As for Oman's apparel industry, the U.S. International Trade Commission estimates that the U.S.-Oman agreement will lead to a 66% increase in U.S. imports of apparel manufactured in Oman.
What are the likely effects? A report in May by the National Labor Committee, a not-for-profit research organization, exposed the costs of the first Middle East trade agreement signed by Bush in December 2001 - the U.S.-Jordan Free Trade Agreement. After that agreement was implemented, new factories arrived in Jordan to service American companies primarily from the apparel industry, including Wal-Mart, JC Penney, Target and Jones New York.
The factories have engaged in the worst kinds of human rights and worker abuses, including 48-hour shifts without sleep, violent physical and psychological abuse and workers brought from foreign countries with their passports held by employers, often receiving no pay for their work. Wal-Mart also is a member of the U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Coalition.
American companies seeking cheap, easy labor are not likely to meet much opposition from the Omani government. The State Department has reported Oman for human trafficking and forced labor abuses. Eighty-five percent of the private-sector workforce in Oman is made up of foreign "guest workers" who are granted limited rights. And the U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement does not even include the meager labor standards of the Jordan agreement.
At a moment when people across the Middle East reveal in poll after poll a deep distrust of the United States, and particularly of its actions in the region, it seems ill-advised to advance trade agreements that provide clear rewards to a handful of U.S. corporations but few discernible benefits to either the people of the Middle East or the people of the United States.

The Montezuma Mosquito Control District has traditionally controlled mosquito populations by targeting the adult (flying) stage of the insect. This method has focused on the application of the chemical insecticide malathion via airborne ULV (ultra-low volume) spraying. Controlling mosquitoes using only chemical means has come under heavy environmental and political pressure in many parts of the country over the past several years, including Montezuma County. Chemical insecticides have the advantage of being easy to apply, and usually work quite well in the short term. But, these chemical ULV insecticide applications have no residual and last only a short while, generally only a few days, making repeated applications necessary. As many as 18 applications per season had been applied in past years.. This became quite an expensive proposition and over time began to provide diminishing returns. Over a period of years mosquitoes can develop resistance to a chemical which has been applied repeatedly, and its effectiveness is lost.
The Montezuma Mosquito Control District Board recognized these problems and in 1999 contracted Colorado Mosquito Control, Inc. to provide a comprehensive, modern program designed around the scientific principles of Integrated Pest Management. (IPM). To combat the problems associated with chemical fogging for adult mosquito control, CMC has developed a program which targets larval (aquatic stage) mosquitoes and utilizes field surveillance, scientifically timed biological (non-chemical) control methods and least-toxic materials. The implementation of this program over the past three years has provided a dramatic shift from a program which was 100% chemically based, to one which has, over a three-year period, dropped the use of chemical adulticides to approximately 10% of the original program.
Colorado Mosquito Control, Inc. (CMC) as the operational contractor for the District, not only designed and implemented a comprehensive mosquito control program, but has implement a public education and informational program to help residents to discover the importance of effective biologically-based mosquito control on the public health and quality of life in the Montezuma Mosquito Control District. Other important support services such as a call notification and shutoff system and the implementation of a GIS (Geographic Information System) for accurate mapping and larval site history database development has made the Montezuma Mosquito Control District program the "state-of-the-science" in modern mosquito control.

TNA Bound For Glory 2016 Reaction
2016 has a been an odd year for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
While things have been financially bleak where even this event's occurrence was questionable three days prior, TNA has been rechristened with its most vivacious creative direction yet.
There was a lot to flaunt about – the payoff to many feuds like The Miracle-Moose and TNA Knockouts Champion Maria-Gail Kim to name a few.
The show was undoubtedly headlined by the biggest match they could offer for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship between unstoppable heel Champion Lashley and his biggest threat, Ethan Carter III, who looked to become an "EC3-time Champion."
Add to that the absurdly brilliant "Great War" between TNA World Tag Team Champions Decay and The Broken Hardys, BFG almost made us forget last year's show.

When you have a dud like Slammiversary, there's nowhere to go but up, right?
While we had moments that brought back memories of that terrible night (ongoing audio technical difficulties, inexcusable announcing blunders, questionable booking decisions), the good news was that an excitable opener and final 90 minutes were enough to salvage the night for any wrestling fan.
However, TNA's still TNA and it'll take a while for them to move ahead of this show with any momentum, main event finish aside.

Notes In Observance – TNA Impact Wrestling 5/8/15: Live From Orlando, It's Friday Night
Live From Orlando, It's Friday Night
– Much to TNA's credit, they managed to stir some buzz concerning the show's opening five minutes and for the most part, delivered on that front. Eight months isn't exactly a quick vacation and is close to a year, so it made sense to hype the return of Bully Ray as something big. Better yet to have it happen at the demand of Eric Young, who was great with his "everybody owes me everything" schtick. Bully's short promo was delivered with good timing and established his role as Special Guest Referee for the main event. Of course, this left us to wonder if he was back for the long run or a one-off appearance, but given his high status in the company, if he was going to appear, some sort of deal was likely struck.

UN Wants a Global Government (NWO) to 'Prevent Future Pandemics'
Global surveillance, "financial independence" and power to override national governments headline WHO's recommended "reforms".
by Kit Knightly
A new report, published by the United Nations, has claimed the covid19 "pandemic" would have been prevented had the UN – and specifically the World Health Organizaion – been given more global authority.
The report is titled Covid19: Make it the Last Pandemic and are the published findings of the Independent Panel on Pandemic Preparedness and Response, which focuses on how the world can look to prevent "pandemics" in the future.
This "independent" panel is chaired by ex-New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, ex-President of Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and other political figures (including noted globalist David Miliband), and was established last May by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. (How a report commissioned by the WHO, calling to give more money and power to the WHO can be called "independent" I don't know.)
You can read all about it on the reports own website. (Why a single report from the WHO needs an entire website of its own, again, I don't know).
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (left) and Ellen Clark (right) two lead authors of new WHO report.
There's a lot to unpack in the report's eighty-six pages of bureaucratic double-talk, but their main conclusions are:
Elevate leadership to prepare for and respond to global health threats to the highest levels to ensure just, accountable and multisectoral action
Focus and strengthen the independence, authority and financing of the WHO
Invest in preparedness now to create fully functional capacities at the national, regional and global level
Establish a new international system for surveillance, validation and alert
Establish a pre-negotiated platform for tools and supplies
Raise new international financing for the global public goods of pandemic preparedness and response
Countries to establish highest level national coordination for pandemic preparedness and response
All of which can be generally summed up as "give the WHO (and their cronies) more money, and more power".
Each section of their recommendations contains several bullet points of its own, far too many to go through all of them, but there's definitely some paragraphs that should cause any attentive reader to raise an eyebrow:
"WHO to establish a new global system for surveillance, based on full transparency by all parties, using state-of-the-art digital tools to connect information centres around the world and including animal and environmental health surveillance, with appropriate protections of people's rights…"
… Which means essentially legalising global surveillance programs on a massive scale, with – of course – "appropriate protections of people's rights" (and shame on you for thinking otherwise).
And then there is:
"Future declarations of a PHEIC by the WHO Director-General should be based on the precautionary principle where warranted…"
… Which calls for the Director-General of the WHO to have the power to declare a global "pandemic", not because there definitely is a new disease killing people, but because they think there might be.
Essentially handing the Director-General of the WHO the power to simply create a pandemic whenever they feel the need. Somewhat ironically the panel for "pandemic prevention", is recommending making "pandemics" far more likely.
Further, the report goes out of its way to praise the countries which engaged in the most authoritarian "anti-Covid" measures.
Specifically, China is praised both for their "fast identification" of the virus, and their incredibly stringent lockdown measures. Another country held up as a good example is New Zealand, which was likewise very strict.
Conversely, the countries with allegedly "poor results" in dealing with Covid – though never named – are universally criticised for "denial of scientific evidence", "eroding trust in healthcare measures" and having leaders who "appeared sceptical or dismissive" of the pandemic.
It goes on and on in that fashion. Every step of the way praising centralisation, globalisation and totalitarianism at the expense of sovereignty, individualism and liberty.
And while the report itself may couch its agenda in soft diplomatic language, the authors behind the report have been far more forthright about what they really mean.
In a clear attack on national sovereignty, Helen Clark is quoted in the Guardian as saying:
"[The pandemic was] compounded by a lack of global leadership and coordination of geopolitical tensions and nationalism weakening the multilateral system, which should act to keep the world safe."
As well as criticising current regulations which put limits on the WHO's powers:
"[The WHO] was hindered and not helped by the international health regulations and procedures,"
It's fairly obvious what the message is here.
Throughout the overblown coronavirus "pandemic" narrative we've seen national governments all over the world use the phoney crisis to "temporarily" expand their powers.
Now the United Nations is getting in on the act, hoping to expand its global power mandate.
