United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has flagged the arrest of two journalists and several Afghan citizens who were collaborating with the agency in Afghanistan, soon after the Taliban arrested two other media professionals, triggering concern over press freedom in the country.
Former Afghan vice president Amrullah Saleh tweeted that the Taliban had arrested former BBC correspondent Andrew North and six other foreign citizens, without offering details about when they were arrested.
"Due to no media, no reporting by citizens and a suffocating atmosphere corruption, crime and atrocities aren't well exposed.
"As an example 9 citizens of western countries have been kidnapped amongst them Andrew North of BBC and Peter Juvenal owner of Gandomak Restaurant," Saleh tweeted.
Last week the Islamist regime, which seized control of Afghanistan in August, arrested two journalists of local TV broadcaster Ariana News.
Although the two reporters, Aslam Hijab and Waris Aslam, were released two days later, their arrest led to a wave of criticism against the regime for the growing attacks on freedom of press in Afghanistan.
Nonprofits Free Speech Hub, Amnesty International and the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan were some of the organizations that had sought clarifications from the Taliban over the arrests.
The Taliban's ascent to power, after they seized Kabul on August 15, has had a negative impact on freedom of expression in Afghanistan, several local and international groups have warned.
In mid January, a poll conducted by Afghanistan's National Journalists Union showed that 95 percent of the surveyed journalists across the country's 34 provinces agreed that there was a lack of freedom under the Taliban regime.

Social exclusion attempts to make sense out of multiple deprivations and inequities experienced by people and areas, and the reinforcing effects of reduced participation, consumption, mobility, access, integration, influence and recognition.
This book works from a multidisciplinary approach across health, welfare, and education, linking practice and research in order to improve our understanding of the processes that foster exclusion and how to prevent it.
Theorising Social Exclusion first reviews and reflects upon existing thinking, literature and research into social exclusion and social connectedness, outlining an integrated theory of social exclusion across dimensions of social action and along pathways of social processes.
A series of commissioned chapters then develop and illustrate the theory by addressing the machinery of social exclusion and connectedness, the pathways towards exclusion and, finally, experiences of exclusion and connection.
This innovative book takes a truly multidisciplinary approach and focuses on the often-neglected cultural and social aspects of exclusion.
It will be of interest to academics in fields of public health, health promotion, social work, community development, disability studies, occupational therapy, policy, sociology, politics, and environment.

Q: Проверка на пустое значения поле средствами Html Добрый день! Есть такое поле
<input type="text" name="fio" id="order_input" pattern="^[A-Za-zА-Яа-яЁё\s]+$" required=""/>

Если оно пустое то все нормально, выдает ошибку заполните поле, но если вбить просто пару пробелов то валидация не работает, хотя поле все еще пустое. Что делать?

A: В Вашем варианте регэксп задает пробел как допустимый символ наряду с буквами, а не указывает что сначала буквы потом пробел. Поэтому нужно подлинней:
pattern="^[A-Za-zА-Яа-яЁё]+(\s[A-Za-zА-Яа-яЁё]+)*$"

То есть: сначала одна или более букв, потом ноль или более групп "один пробел и за ним одна или более букв".

Spotify published its financial results for the last three months of 2018 yesterday and – with beaming pride – announced that it is now profitable. Well, it was a quarter with some rarely seen positives at the bottom of the balance sheet.
"Results for Q4 2018 outperformed our expectations", it wrote at the top of its report to shareholders, adding that "for the first time in company history, operating income, net income and free cash flow were all positive".
There were various factors behind those positive figures, though Spotify bosses were keen to not get too carried away. They quickly told investors that they had updated forecasts for 2019, that they expected the firm's gross profit margin to fall across the year, which would leave them with an overall loss going into 2020. Which may account for the dip in the company's share price that followed the publication of yesterday's results.
Though before getting all sombre and cautious, the Spotify team did allow themselves a brief moment of celebration, during which they threw half a billion dollars at a couple of podcast companies. Because, hey, why have just one podcasting company when you can have two? Following rumours last week that Spotify was about to buy podcast maker Gimlet Media, the streaming service announced deals to buy that company and podcast distribution platform Anchor.
Why the cash splash on all things podcasting? Well, reckons Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, after ten years in the music game, Spotify now wants to become the destination of choice for all your audio listening needs. And not just to occupy more of your time, but because there's lots of money to be made from people's ears that's currently just sat on the big imaginary table.
"Video is about a trillion dollar market", he says in a blog post. "And the music and radio industry is worth around a hundred billion dollars. I always come back to the same question: Are our eyes really worth ten times more than our ears? I firmly believe this is not the case. For example, people still spend over two hours a day listening to radio – and we want to bring that radio listening to Spotify, where we can deepen engagement and create value in new ways. With the world focused on trying to reduce screen time, it opens up a massive audio opportunity".
Of course, Spotify previously tried dabbling in that trillion dollar video market, creating its own much hyped video content, none of which gained much momentum. Though one possible reason for that was the fact many people saw Spotify as an audio app, and weren't keen on suddenly having to look at it. In which case, beefing up audio-only offerings beyond music does make sense.
While it took time for Spotify's move into podcasts to get going, it is now the second biggest podcast listening platform in the world. Although it's still a long, long way behind market leader Apple. However, Spotify has been more proactive in this space of late and has gained ground quickly. And the acquisitions of Gimlet and Anchor represent a big step in that regard.
Founded in 2014 by former 'This American Life' producer Alex Blumberg, Gimlet has launched a number of hit shows – one of which, radio drama 'Homecoming', was developed into a TV series for Amazon last year. It also has a branded content division, which works with companies to create their own shows.
Anchor, meanwhile, is a platform that gives anyone the tools and platform to create, distribute and monetise their own podcasts.
"Based on radio industry data, we believe it is a safe assumption that, over time, more than 20% of all Spotify listening will be non-music content", says Ek. "This means the potential to grow much faster with more original programming – and to differentiate Spotify by playing to what makes us unique – all with the goal of becoming the world's number one audio platform".
"Just as we've done with music, our work in podcasting will focus intensively on the curation and customisation that users have come to expect from Spotify", he goes on. "We will offer better discovery, data and monetisation to creators".
Whether this means Spotify will start giving out per-play royalties to all the podcasters on its platform remains to be seen.
The key revenue stream for podcasts at the moment is advertising. If Spotify was to implement a system where premium subscribers could listen to shows distributed by Anchor without the ads, while creators were still remunerated, that might be a draw for listeners and podcasters alike, which would help Spotify to grow as a podcast destination of choice.
Quite how that would work isn't clear though. Spotify's music industry partners will also have strong opinions on monies in the streaming service's big subscriptions pot being shared out with podcasters as well as the labels and publishers.
Another possible benefit for Spotify in growing its spoken word provision is on the ad-funded side, where the firm is actively trying to boost revenues, possibly with more branded content. It's much more cost-effective to involve brands in spoken-word output than linking them to music, because the latter requires the involvement of any artists that feature as well as any labels, distributors, publishers or societies which have a stake in their recordings and songs.
Nonetheless, Ek insists that all this talk of getting users to listen to people talking "doesn't make music any less important at Spotify".
"Our core business is performing very well", he says. "But as we expand deeper into audio, especially with original content, we will scale our entire business, creating leverage in the model through subscriptions and ads". Hence the two acquisitions. "This is why we feel it is prudent to invest now to capture the opportunity ahead. We want Spotify to continue to be at the centre of the global audio economy".
Another thing Spotify announced in its quarterly update yesterday is that it had 96 million paying subscribers among its 207 million monthly active users at that end of last year.
That's up from 87 million three months previously. It's important that Spotify's paying-user base continues to grow at a decent pace because, as it currently stands, that brings in most of the income. And to be properly profitable long-term the company needs to reach a certain scale where the tricky streaming business model starts to become viable.
Also, the value of each subscriber varies greatly around the world, with monthly subscription fees different in different markets, which means that the required level of scale is all the higher the more emerging markets start to dominate in terms of overall subscriber numbers. But still, 96 million premium users, an operating profit and lots of podcasts. Woo!

One of the most impactful events of my life was over a spill.
My mom was near perfect. She was always kind. She was organized and our home was clean….So I knew better….
I was five. My aunt was watching me and I dropped my glass of grape juice. I KNEW the mess I had made. I knew it stained. My aunt began wiping me up and I protested, saying that I can wait; this stains!! My sweet aunt grabbed my shoulders, looked me in the eyes and firmly said "we take care of people first." And the love that showed to my heart…that she considered me more important than her things. Me!
Fast forward to 25 years later and my own daughter dropped & shattered a glass of milk. In a flash, I turned on my heels : ready to speak harshly on carelessness….
And I saw my daughter's head and shoulders slump.
Great lesson! People are more important than things.

Q: Problem with Arcam rpac and Ubuntu 12.04 I have recently (mistakenly?) purchased an Arcam rpac USB DAC for my Ubuntu (12.04) PC. I have torn out all but 3 of my hairs trying to get this to work and have had absolutely no luck so far.
I can see the Arcam USB audio device when i run aplay -l, however I cannot see it listed under the Sound settings. I can see the soundcard device when running alsamixer also, but if I try and select it, alsamixer crashes, stating "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument".
Any ideas how to get this working (if it's even possible)? Does anyone else out there have the rpac with Ubuntu?

A: here there is a solution..

a) The limits of the subject (an author) refer to a finite mental capacity, time and information available to an individual (so some details may be missed or mistaken).
b) The limits of the medium (a language) refer to the fact that no existing language is fully adequate to express the multi-dimensional nature of reality.
c) The limits of the object (facts) refer to the imperfection of the factual knowledge. For example, not taking into account presently accepted facts that may turn out to be mistaken in the future would end up in the current incompleteness, but taking them into account would lead to a future incongruence (when they are corrected).
d) The limits of the background. Any text is created at a particular time, in a particular place and within a particular mentality. Therefore, it is inevitably affected, at least to some extent, by its locality, which may not fully resonate with a different time, space, or mentality.
This does not mean that the epistemological value of the materials can be relativised (in a post-modern fashion). To what extent they approximate the truth should be judged on the basis of to what extent they comply with the criteria described in the first part. It is unlikely that new ways of knowledge acquisition will be discovered, and any reduction to one or some of them cannot be superior to their synthesis (the problem with the existing ideological frameworks, including the materialistic ones, is not so much in what they are saying, but in what they are denying). The above limitations, however, do indicate that no interpretation can be perfect and universal. Moreover, if any interpretation is allowed to solidify and turn into an ideology, it becomes reactionary. Therefore the Synthesis should be taken as a dynamic process that can continue to be refined. There will always be some space for further improvements, the only conditions being that the stated criteria are followed or their change is justified. Therefore, this should not be considered the end, but the beginning.


Christmas can get very expensive. Food, presents, entertainment, and even more food and drink can add up to a hefty sum. If you're on a budget, this time of year can be particularly difficult so it's always great to find ways to save where you can. Did you know that the average stocking costs around £70 to fill? That seems like a crazy amount to me. Rex London recently got in touch to see if I could create a stocking for half that price. Carry on reading to see how I did!
Rex London has so many lovely gifts and home accessories, all at an affordable price ranging from bags to toys, stationery, and bakeware. I decided to create a stocking for my 3 favourite ladies; my mum and my two sisters. I've really set myself a challenge here. Is it possible to fill a stocking for 3 people on a budget of £35? Yes, it is!
I live a few hours away from home and my youngest sister is away at university so times like Christmas are really special. The idea behind creating the stocking for my mum and sisters is to create a lovely memory. I have chosen things perfect for a Christmassy pamper night that all of us girls can enjoy. The first thing I chose were these colourful lipstick pens. They look super fun, make a great stocking filler and are also great for the girly pamper night if we decide to play some games.
The next thing I chose to go in the stocking were these adorable, sparkly butterfly tealight candles. This is something that we can all enjoy on our pamper night. If you're creating a Christmas stocking for someone then these pink tealights would make a great gift. To save even more, why not share them out and put a few in each stocking?
Next, I decided to pop in a 'main gift'. I chose a coin purse for both my mum and sisters that I know they will like. The cloud and kitten purses are so cute and make great budget-friendly gifts. I chose the blue floral coin purse for my mum as I think that is more her style!
When I saw the animal face masks I couldn't help but add those in. How cute are they?! I think my favourite is the tiger. I hope there are no arguments over who wants which one! This is also a fun addition to our Christmas pamper/girly night in. While watching a Christmas film (with a glass of mulled wine), we can all relax with our funny face masks on. There are 3 animal face masks to choose from; the happy mouse moisturing mask, happy tiger firming mask and the cute panda brightening mask.
My mum loves coffee so I had to put this adorable hedgehog coaster in for her. For just £1.50, this makes a fantastic little stocking filler for all the coffee lovers out there. Another gift that I thought might be fun to add that everyone can use are cake cases. Rex London has so many lovely baking accessories that are very inexpensive. My idea behind putting the cake cases in the stocking is that we could all do some festive baking together. I can smell the gingerbread cupcakes already!
All of these items came in at £34.05. That's a huge saving on the average £70 stocking and IT WAS FOR 3 PEOPLE! I know that my mum and sisters will love all of these gifts. If you're looking for an affordable place to shop for stocking fillers then Rex London is the place to go.

I'm with you, Ralph. When we retire, we Oxen are often congratulated for having devoted a lifetime of service to the country. That's only half of the story, for there is still a lot of that lifetime left when we mothball the uniform, and for many of us, that intensity of that dedication and desire is undimmed."

One person died and two others sustained injuries in a motor accident which took place in Beruwala. The accident took place in the Magalkanda area along the Galle – Colombo Main Road.
The accident was a result of collision involving a three-wheeler travelling to Colombo and a luxury private bus heading towards Galle.
A passenger who was travelling in the three wheeler died as a result of the accident. Those travelling in the three wheeler were on their way to a funeral.
The driver and the father of the deceased sustained injuries in the accident.
The victim was identified as J.A. Sumudu, a twenty-nine-year-old youth from the Keselhenawe area in Horana.
The injured are currently receiving treatment at the Nagoda General Hospital. The driver of the bus in question has been taken into custody.


I received a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from the Public University of Navarre (Spain) in 2009 and I am currently working in the Plant-Soil Ecology group of CE3C. I have a post-doc fellowship from the Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (FCT) at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. My research focuses on the relationship between the mechanisms of ammonium absorption and ammonium toxicity syndrome in organisms (plants and yeast).
For many years I have been involved in the study of C/N metabolism responses in plants to ammonium nutrition and abiotic stress conditions using pea plants as model system which is agronomically important, using physiological, biochemical, enzymatic and molecular skills.
As the ureic fertilizers are closely linked to ammonium nutrition, I am also interested in the urease inhibitors characterization. These inhibitors are commonly added to the new ammonium-based fertilizers. The study of urease inhibitors effects on plant physiology and N metabolism using pea, wheat, spinach plants, etc.
Finally, there is a subject of whom I have become a passionate in the three last years: the study of the natural isotopic composition as a means of study of plant physiology (nitrogen metabolism). The study of the relationship among the natural nitrogen isotopic signature, the ammonium/ammonia toxicity and the ammonium/ammonia transport in plants and others organisms (i.e. yeast and Chlamydomona algae).
I currently collaborate with the Biology of membrane Transport laboratory (IBMM) leaded by Dr. Anna M. Marini, from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, and with the Molecular Plant Nutrition group, headed by Prof. Nicolaus von Wirén from the Leibniz-Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research, IPK Gatersleben, Germany. Both are pioneering European research groups in the study of ammonium transport systems in organisms (e.g. yeast, mammals and plants).
Ariz, I., Boeckstaens, M., Gouveia, C., Martins, A.P., Sanz-Luque, E., Fernández, E., Soveral, G., Wirén, von N., Marini, A.M., Aparicio-Tejo, P.M. & Cruz, C. (2018) Nitrogen isotope signature evidences ammonium deprotonation as a common transport mechanism for the AMT-Mep-Rh protein superfamily.

Beyoncé Gives an Emotional Speech at the GLAAD Media Awards: "To Choose Who You Love Is Your Human Right"
The pop star dedicated her Vanguard Award, shared with her husband, Jay-Z, to her late gay uncle.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z made an appearance on Thursday night at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, where they were both honored for their support of the L.G.B.T.Q. community. At the Beverly Hilton hotel, an emotional Beyoncé dedicated the Vanguard Award to her uncle, Johnny, who died from complications related to HIV. Calling her uncle "the most fabulous gay man I've ever known and ever knew," the star opened up for the first time about the man who was close with her and Solange Knowles when the sisters were growing up in Houston.
"He lived his truth," she said. "He was brave and unapologetic during a time when this country wasn't as accepting, and witnessing his battle with HIV was one of the most painful experiences I've ever lived." She fought back tears as Jay-Z placed his hand on her back. "I'm hopeful that his struggles started to open pathways for other young people to live more freely. L.G.B.T.Q.I. rights are human rights. To choose who you love is your human right. How you identify and see yourself is your human right. Who you make love to and take that ass to Red Lobster is your human right."
Beyoncé ended her speech by personally thanking her husband of nearly 11 years for his work to make the rap industry more inclusive. "I just want to say to you, Jay, I'm so proud of you for making incredible strides towards changing stigmas in the hip-hop community," she said. "It's a privilege to watch you to take those steps and to stand right next to you. I love you."
Jay-Z began his speech by thanking his mother, Gloria Carter, whom he revealed was a lesbian in his 2017 song "Smile," GLAAD presented her with a special recognition award last year, but Jay-Z was unable to attend the ceremony. Last night, the rapper used his time to acknowledge his mom and said that she taught him the meaning of acceptance.

"Life is a journey, and is filled with highs, lows, and a lot of learning," Jay-Z told a crowd that included Lena Waithe, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Allison Janney. "This a momentous night and I also want—cause I didn't get to do it last year—honor my mother who received an award last year. I get to follow in her footsteps of spreading love and acceptance and her strong message of love—who you love and the souls that connect to."
The RuPaul's Drag Race alum Shangela nearly stole the show by delivering a crowd-pleasing, seven-minute-plus Beyoncé tribute performance, lip-syncing a medley of the pop star's hit songs and mimicking a few of her well-known moves.
"I've already cried and put a run in my stockings from Shangela," Beyoncé said while collecting her award onstage, as the crowd cheered.
The night's other top honoree was Will & Grace star Sean Hayes, who received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, named after the Los Angeles casting director who devoted his life to fighting homophobia, for his contributions to the L.G.B.T.Q. community. Hayes's speech included a zinger aimed at Jussie Smollett: "I've been getting in shape for tonight with the Jussie Smollett workout. You hire two trainers and sweat eight weeks," Hayes quipped, which drew both cheers and jeers from the crowd. "It wipes out all your belly fat and your credibility."
Gwyneth Paltrow presented the outstanding-film award to the teen romantic comedy Love, Simon. The Starz's television show Vida, won the outstanding-comedy-series award, and the outstanding reality program went to Netflix's Queer Eye, starring Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness.
"When I was growing up, I never imagined being here. I didn't think I would be out of Missouri," Berk told Vanity Fair on the red carpet. "Not that Missouri is a bad place. It's a little bitty town in our day and age. But I grew up very religious. So, it's an honor and a big deal to be here and celebrate such an amazing night with our peers."

This is the highest quality compression mister/sprayer that we have been able to find! It is of the same quality that the manufacturer uses for their industrial grade wall paper misters! It will hold up to 64 ounces of water - although we only suggest filling it about 2/3 of that so as to give room in the bottle for the air to be compressed. The nozzle adjusts for spray from a fine, cloud-like mist to a spray like a lite rain shower. No more squeezing the spray bottle over and over until it feels as though your hand will fall off!
At Parrot Island we bath all of our birds daily. (See Pictures at the right) We recommend a lite misting (just enough to get their feathers damp and instigate normal preening behavior) one day - and then we soak them thoroughly the next day. *We only recommend and use purified water for our birds drinking and bathing water*. We have 7 birds amongst our family and our sprayer really gets a workout - yet this sprayer holds up!

Q: Change Object type based on inheritance I have the class Person:
class Person {
public:
    int Age;
    int ID;
};

And I have 2 classes: Adult and Child that inherit Person:
class Child : Person{
public:
    Child();
    void print_ms_child(){
        cout << "I'm an child";
    }
};

class Adult : Person{
public:
    Adult();
    void print_ms_Adult(){
        cout << "I'm an adult";
    }
};

I want to declare a Person Object
int main() {
    Person my_Person;
    my_Person.Age = 10;
    my_Person.ID = 013272;

And then use conditions to set its type.
    if(my_Person.Age > 18){
        my_Person = new Adult(); // this won't work
    }
    else{
        my_Person = new Child(); // this won't work
    }

I suppose it it's posible but I don't know the right syntax for doing it (How do I do that?). (Sorry for posting code that won't even compile)
But also, I want to change from Child to Adult in case the Age changes (I'm not even sure that's possible).
    my_Person.Age = 21;
    my_Person = new Adult(); // this won't work

A: I would first define your class Person like this instead:
class Person {
    int Age;
    int ID;
protected:
   Person(int age, int id): Age{age}, ID{id} {}
public:
   virtual ~Person() = default;
};

That is, Person's constructor is made protected so that a class outside the hierarchy can't create a Person object, and its destructor is made virtual to make it suitable as a base class for a polymorphic type.
Then, both Child and Adult publicly inherit from Person, as you already have them. Their constructors end up calling Person's constructor with the same parametrization their constructors receive:
class Adult: public Person {
public:
   Adult(int age, int id): Person(age, id) {}
   // ...
};

class Child: public Person {
public:
   Child(int age, int id): Person(age, id) {}
   // ...
};

Finally, for creating objects that derived from Person, I would create the factory function below:
std::unique_ptr<Person> create_person(int age, int id) {
   if (age < 18)
      return std::make_unique<Child>(age, id);
   else
      return std::make_unique<Adult>(age, id);
}

This factory function creates a Child object if the to-create person's age is under 18. Otherwise, it creates an Adult object. This – determining the type of the object to create – is done at run time.

EDIT: You wondered how a Child object could become an Adult object after its age has reached 18 years old.
I would suggest making the state of a Person object immutable so that a fresh new object has to be created every time the age of a person is increased. This way, creating a new object from an existing one will be the only way to grow a Person's age and, at that moment, you will have the control to decide whether to create a Child or Adult object based on the new age.
For doing this, first, qualify the Age data member in Person as const (you can do the same with ID). Then, define the following Person's member function which always creates a new object (with the same ID) resulting from increasing a Person's object Age by one:
std::unique_ptr<Person> Person::increase_age() const {
   return create_person(Age + 1, ID);
}

As you see, it delegates the creation of the object to the factory function, create_person(), already explained above. This member function can be called on both Child and Adult objects since it inherits from Person.

A: You cannot change the type of a variable after its declaration. C++ is a statically typed language. my_person is a Person. You cannot change that.

About Maggie Brookes
A British author, Maggie Brookes is well regarded for her historical fiction, as she brings the past to life upon the page. Previously working as a journalist, her work is known for its authenticity, being extremely well researched, right down to the last detail. Really bringing the reader in to the world, it allows them to feel as if they actually there experiencing it first-hand for themselves.
Her characters are also very well established too, as they really resonate, despite being from previous eras and time periods. This speaks to readers from across the world as well, as she manages to get her message and ideas across clearly and concisely. With a lot more to come in the future, she isn't stopping any time soon either, as her literary career grows from strength-to-strength.
Early and Personal Life:
Growing up with a keen love of history and literature, this would come to inform much of her work in time. Writing on numerous different topics, she would quickly find that she had a passion for the craft, something she'd continue into her adult career. Basing a lot of her stories on real-life, she'd take much of her inspiration from the world around her, along with the things she'd learned.
A novelist and poet, she would also teach as associate professor, based as Middlesex University, whilst also working at the Royal Literary Fund as an advisory fellow. This has also provided her with a wealth of material, as well as an academic background from which she has been able to work from. Her work prior to becoming a writer would also benefit her greatly, especially her time spent working as a journalist.
Now an ex-journalist, she's worked at the BBC as a TV documentary producer, as well as being a poet for some time too. This would also give her some of the tools that she would need telling true stories to a large audience, reaching a wide selection of people. Her research skills are also second to none, as she always dives into her work, which clearly shows in her novels. Continuing to write, she'll carry on for a long time, as there's plenty more titles and stories planned on the horizon.
Writing Career:
In 2016 Maggie Brookes would release her first novel, which would be titled 'House of Dreams', and would use some of her interest in history as its basis. Combining elements of fantasy, it would take a somewhat ambiguous pace to it narrative, as the reader was constantly left guessing as to what was real, and what wasn't. Saying a lot with its story as well, Maggie Brookes would prove to be hugely successful with this book, making the most of its overall premise.
Later she would follow this up in 2020 with 'The Prisoner's Wife', which would also be set during the Second World War. This time it would feature more realism, with its true to life plot featuring the story of a prisoner of war and his time spent during the war. The book would prove to be quite difficult, but all the more rewarding for its sense of poignancy and humanity at the end of it all.
Coming to write with a very real sense of the world and its history, Brookes had a clear eye for facts, making sure everything that happens in her books are authentic. This has helped bring readers in, as they feel themselves drawn into her words, much like the protagonist in her first novel. It's also become a testament to her writing in that it's been so successful with readers from all backgrounds from all over the world.
Winning awards for her books, she's not without critical acclaim either, which in part is likely due to her extensive research. Visiting Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Poland for her second novel, she would ensure that nothing whatsoever was left out. Paying extremely close attention to detail, Brookes continues to write regularly, all from her home in the UK, with more to follow.
Brought out through the Endeavour Press publishing label in 2016, this would be the first book to come from Maggie Brookes. Not a part of any series, it manages to capture a sense of history during World War Two, whilst also making it relevant to the present day. This would prove to be hugely successful for Brookes, in what is essentially a stand-alone title, with its completely self-contained narrative.
War has made the husband of Julia Cunningham little more than a stranger to her, as she secretly dreads his return. In 1945 following the end of the Second World War, he's returning to the family, but he has a violent past, and now, fifty years later, Phil Walsh discovers the diary of Julia. Facing marriage troubles of his own, he moves into 31 Hawthorn Road, and her words begin to come alive off the page, as fantasy and fiction merge together. Is she really there with him in the present day? Can Phil make sense of it all, sort truth from fiction? What will become of his life in the house of dreams?
The Prisoner's Wife
Released through on the 26th of May in 2020, this was the second book from Maggie Brookes, also centered around the Second World War. Published through the Berkley Books publishing imprint, it would also feature a historical setting, although this time more true to life. It would also have a self-contained narrative, with the story being based on real events and accounts from the POW camps.
Travelling through the occupied territories, the British soldier Bill and his newly married wife, the Czech farm girl Izabela, are on the run. Bill was a prisoner of war, and Izabela is dressed as a man after they secretly married, but soon they're capture by Nazis, and taken to a POW camp. Here they must continue to evade detection, as Izabela's identity is kept secret from the guards, with them thinking she's a male soldier, along with the help of the other inmates. Can they remain undetected? Will they be able to keep themselves safe and escape? What will become of the prisoner's wife?

Due to the mass controversy involving the ending to The Divergent Trilogy, author Veronica Roth had to post a large blog post, both explaining and defending the ending of the series.


I have a AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad in a HP ZBook Stdio G3 laptop. This touchpad has two physical buttons (not visible but physically existing).
I desperately need middle click somehow on my touchpad. Checking with synclient, I have TapButton3 configured but according to evtest, 3-finger taps does not even get recognized.. I would also be happy to achieve middle clicking via eg. clicking to the bottom center of the touchpad but I'm afraid that wouldn't be easy to achieve either.
Natural scrolling (the OSX-style, which drives me crazy) seems to be turned on by default for two finger scrolling and I can't really get rid of it. I tried to enable/disable it in Gnome (it's disabled by default), alter the value of VertScrollDelta trying to set negative values, etc - no matter what I try, nothing gets changed, the OSX style is there to stay. There's a single exception though: after getting the laptop to suspend and turn it back on, natural scrolling is off!
Anyone can help me out with these? Thanks a lot in advance.
Blacklisting the i2c_hid module seems to made the ALP0011:00 044E:120C device go away and now Gnome's built-in control for setting/unsetting natural scrolling works just fine. I'm not sure what this device was though as the screen in this laptop is not a touchscreen..


Every time summer comes around and the Blueberries come into the stores, I pick up as many as I can. I can't stop my daughter from eating them, and I'm not complaining!! My kids have never been shy at eating fresh fruit, never mind their 5 – a – day, they are more like 10 – a – day!!
However, it's nice when the new fruit comes on, because they can get sick of all those oranges and apples. So Blueberries are high on our list at the moment, and here's a great dessert, if you can stop the scoffing them straight out of the container from the fridge (I can't!).
If you have a little one, just starting to eat solids, cut small little squares once cooked and cooled, and let them try it as a finger food.
1.	Mix all the dry ingredients (except the blueberries) with a pinch of salt. Mix the egg, melted butter, vanilla and milk and whisk into the dry mix to make a thick batter. Stir in the blueberries. Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry large spoonfuls of the batter mix until little holes appear on the surface, flip and cook the other side till golden.
We all know it's important to get good quality vitamins into our children, and this is a great way to do it. Blueberries are very high in Vitamins A and C and antioxidants, and they are sweet and refreshing too. This is an easy and fun way to get those vitamins into them, and a great summer snack next to a spoonful of ice cream. My son loves to pour the mixture into the pan when cooking, so they can get involved cooking, and even mixing as well, and the end result is just brilliant!


Twice each year, Journeyman Distillery welcomes 75 regional artisans to its historic, 19th century factory space. There, among stills and soaring windows overlooking the quaintest of small towns, Midwest makers showcase handcrafted home goods, jewelry, clothing, food and art. The combination of craft inherent in the building, the wares, the cocktails and the tasty locally-sourced food easily take the market from simple shopping excursion to experience. A weekend-long event, there's plenty of time to shop, admire and get to know some fine folks inspired to make things by hand.
Local Tip: Connoisseurs of fried dough – we know you're out there – prepare to be delighted. The super fresh, minimally adorned doughnuts made in the Staymaker kitchen are delicious, and a rare find in the current landscape of topping-focused treats. Perfect paired with whiskey.

PlayStation 4 FAQs
What Hard Drive Sizes Are Supported by the PlayStation 4?
Learn what hard drive sizes are supported by the PS4 from expert gamer Rob Pimentel in this Howcast video.
So what hard drive sizes are supported on the PS4? If you read anything into the PS4, you know you can actually remove the hard drive that comes with it and put in your own. Technically speaking, as far as Sony support goes, what you need is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive that is [Seda] and it has to be no thicker than nine and a half millimeters. It has to be at least 5400 RPM and it has to be at least 160 GB. Now that's a lot of tech talk. What that essentially means you gonna want some sort of laptop hard drive. Now there're pros and cons to even thinking about getting another hard drive.
The Play Station 4 comes with 5400 GB as default and some people think that's not enough for downloadable games and you gonna want a larger one. Getting larger one, by no means better idea. The unfortunate part is getting a larger hard drive that's so much smaller is expensive. You can probably find one, maybe even a terabyte and a half or two terabyte drive and it will expand on what you can download, however, you are gonna be paying a hefty price to do so. They can go anywhere from 150 to 200, even 300 dollars for such a drive.
The cool thing is you can also experiment with the kind of hard drive you have. So right now, the Play Station 4 has a standard hard disc drive, but you can use a solid state drive which will decrease the loading time. The thing is it's not really gonna decrease it significantly. All the tests that people have done have shown that you'll maybe shave off ten, 15, 20 seconds off of your loading and you gonna be paying a couple hundred dollars extra just to do that which really, depends on how much you're willing to spend for that performance increase.
But that's the long and short of it of what sort of hard drive the Play Station 4 supports.

  res.render('admin_panel', { recs: records });
})

After this I have and ejs file called admin_panel with this code:
<% for(var i in recs){ %>

<%= recs[i].title %>

<%= recs[i].description %>

            <a href="/profiles?username=<%= recs[i].post_user %>" class="text-right">By
            <%=recs[i].post_user %>

            <form action="/admin_panel" method="post">
              <input type="hidden" name="id_post" value="<%= recs[i].id %>">
              <input type="submit" value="Delete">
            </form>

<% } %>

And that submit to delete is:
app.post('/admin_panel', async (req, res)=>{
   var the_records = req.body;
   console.log(the_records);
   var the_alg_find = await add_joke.deleteOne({id: the_records.id_post});
   console.log(the_alg_find);
   res.redirect('/admin_panel');
})

The problem is that that post form gives me the rest of the id  of the first post in the database to all post, it's there another method to select a specific item from an iteretion like this example?
Thank you!

A: To better understand this you should probably share your collection schema

A: In the screenshot that you posted, the documents in the database do not have an id field. Therefore, you cannot refer to recs[i].id, and queries on { id: somevalue } will not work. Did you mean to use the _id field, instead?

Tiffany's Comments
Thank you to Akemi, OACC and your supporters for hosting this event and inviting me to share exciting plans for an improved Recreation Center at Lincoln Square Park in Oakland Chinatown.
But first some backstory - six generations of my family have lived in and around Oakland Chinatown. While none of us live in Chinatown anymore, we, like so many of you, frequently return to connect, shop, eat and play. Even now, we put on our masks and visit regularly to support small businesses, restaurants, and bubble tea shops.
Here's a photo of four generations of my family at home, only a few blocks from the park. That's my dad with his Auntie Helen on either side of the dog, surrounded by his parents and siblings, grandparents and great grandmother.
And while Oakland Chinatown has changed since the 1940's when this was taken, some themes have endured: it's still a multi-generational gathering place, always changing but resilient, community-driven and always forward-looking.
Today, Chinatown is still very much a vibrant multi-generational and family-friendly neighborhood. Fast forward, here's four generations again, nearly eight decades later - my dad and my Great Auntie Helen in the center again, surrounded by my family and me at Lincoln Park on the famous junk boat.
That's part of the Wa Sung Community Service play area, named as such because it's always been a community effort to build and rebuild over the years.
The City park is staffed by Oakland Parks and Recreation and community volunteers and has a little bit of everything, including the aging recreation center (in the top middle) built in the early 1970's.
Like Chinatown, the park has seen generations of families come and go. Whether it's Auntie Helen on the Dragonettes, a softball team in the 1930's, local teens, or even Kevin Durant - the park has always been a place for active communal FUN.
The original "club house", on 11th Street, is still actively used for programming by Family Bridges, a long-time neighborhood service organization. It was built in 1935 and funded in part by the City as a WPA project but also by local Chinese donors - doctors and others in the community with many who helped advocate and fund the building.
Three years ago, my husband and I, along with a multi-generational group of other community volunteers and organizations, formed Friends of Lincoln Square Park to help steward the park, and specifically, to help build a much needed bigger and improved recreation center.
It's been in part an advocacy campaign to get the City to prioritize a bigger recreation center, in part a community outreach effort and in part a capital campaign to help raise much needed gap funding to make the project a reality just like what was done with the original clubhouse.
Building a new recreation center is one of the top priorities for the Chinatown neighborhood because the park is an anchor for all of us. It's the only recreational place in Chinatown that attracts children, adults, and seniors and is open to all regardless of income. People come to hang out with friends, and then they stay to shop and eat and visit the doctor. It's the heart of our community.
These days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the park is closed to the public and it's devastating to see it so empty. But even now, the center is hosting a few dozen students who need help with distance learning while Lincoln Elementary and other schools are closed. The park is still working in service to the community, just like during the 1918 pandemic. But we know while this project may not seem relevant right now, it is an ideal time to plan for our future.
Here's a short pre-pandemic video that should give you a sense of the park in better times and our vision for the future.
If you have, or are able to get involved and support our dream of a new rec center, or if you're looking for a meaningful way to leave your legacy - learn more at our website or contact me. Just as in the past, this is a community effort and we are looking to engage with the next generation of supporters ready to help advance the park's legacy as a gathering place for decades to come.

The Three Gorges is a well-known scenic area along the Yangtze River in Hubei Province with a total length of approximately 200km. It has been an important historical and cultural region in China.
The Three Gorges is consisted of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, as well as Xiling Gorge.
Qutang Gorge is the shortest and most spectacular of the three gorges. The Qutang Gorge is only 8 kms long, built it is the narrowest. The widest point measures only 150 meters wide. The mountains on either side reach as high as 1,200 meters. This combination of narrow canyons among high mountains with several switchbacks in only 8 kilometers creates spectacular vistas.
Wu Gorge is the second gorge, formed by Wu River. It stretches 45km from Wushan to Guandukou, and is located downstream of Qutang Gorge and upstream of Xiling Gorge. Shennv Peak is the highlight of Wu Gorge. It is a individual megalith standing upright among groups, especially wreathed by rosy clouds and mist, as if a engaging girl. Every day, it is the first to greet with the sun, and the last to say goodbye with the afterglow.
Xiling Gorge is the most downstream of the three gorges,and in fact the dam itself is built into the Xiling Gorge. Xiling Gorge is located in Zigui County and Yiling District of Hubei Province, from Xiangxi down to the western suburbs of Yichang, and ist he largest and furthest downstream of the Three Gorges.
The Xiling Gorge, around half the length of the three gorges, is actually a series of four different gorges: Precious Sword, Horse Lung&Ox Liver, and Shadow Play Gorges. Before the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam, it was known for being the most dangerous of the three gorges to travel through with frightening whirlpools and strong rapids.
The grand Qutang Gorge, elegant Wu Gorge as well as danger Xiling Groge make up of the magnificent picture in Three Gorges.

Van der Elsken's beehive girl has a name
Filed under: Photography by Branko Collin @ 12:27 pm
'Funfair on the Nieuwmarkt, girl with beehive' ('Kermis op de Nieuwmarkt, meisje met suikerspinkapsel) is one of the main pieces of Ed van der Elsken's retrospective exhibition at the the municipal archive of Amsterdam, but until recently the subject of the photo remained unknown.
The archive asked its Facebook followers if they knew who this girls was. As it turns out her widower recognised her in a previous exhibition and was all too happy to share her name: Margriet Swart.
Van der Elsken (1925-1990) was a street photographer and an important chronicler for Amsterdam during one of its most interesting periods, the 1950s and 1960s, when nozems (Dutch black leather jacket 'bad boy' type) provos (Dutch anti-establishment 'bad boy' type) made the city an interesting place to be again.
De Groene Amsterdammer explains his role: "Van der Elsken had an eye for what was brewing under that grey reality, a sense for rebellion and bold adventure, against the long leather coats and the bull pizzles of the police. This brewing is visible everywhere in Van der Elsken's photos, in the faces of the boys hanging out in the streets and in the eyes of the girls at the funfairs."
The exhibition, Amsterdam!, runs until 14 September 2014.

Essay: who cares about Unesco?
Filed under: Architecture by Branko Collin @ 7:00 am
When I wrote Unesco pulls trigger on Amsterdam in 2010 I was unaware that a day later urbanist Michiel van Iersel would tackle the same subject a day later in NRC.
At the time Unesco had added Amsterdam's historic city centre to its famous World Heritage List. Critics feared that Amsterdam would fare the same way as Bruges, a city in Belgium that has a lot mediaeval architecture still intact, but that also has the reputation to be staid and boring. They were afraid that the municipal government would turn the city into a museum in which nothing could be changed.
In an essay called Who cares about Unesco? Van Iersel counters these criticisms by saying that "in fairness it should be pointed out that the Belgian town was well on its way to being a museum exhibit before it was included on the list in the year 2000". He adds that a Unesco listing is unlikely to act as a Trojan horse because if anything, Unesco's rules are vague and ambiguous.
So, should Amsterdam embrace its Unesco listing? Van Iersel doesn't seem to care either way. He feels the great number of sites on the World Heritage List has made it the Starbucks of distinctions. He proposes that Amsterdam should "pretend that UNESCO does not exist." It doesn't seem to matter much if you're on it, because everybody else is, too. In fact, when Unesco dropped Dresden from its list for building a bridge, the joke was on Unesco: "in opting for innovation Dresden gave up its place on the list, while UNESCO lost one of its sites and also the support of some of its partisans."

War on Fun to choke Amsterdam's famous fry stand
Filed under: Food & Drink by Orangemaster @ 11:31 am
Another blow to downtown Amsterdam, part of the War on Fun or 'cleaning up the city because we want to do that Unesco thing like Bruges in Belgium did', the city is pressuring a famous local fry stand to close down for reasons unknown.
Homemade fries Vleminckx anno 1887 on the Voetboogstraat will no longer be given its permit to sell on the street because Amsterdam wants to get rid of places that sell to people queueing on the street. To be able to get another type of permit, the counter would have to be moved 80 cm indoors in a space that is a tight 10,5 m to start off with, install a door and other things that make little sense.
Yes, it closes at 6 pm on weekdays and 5:30 pm on weekends, yes you often have to queue, but shutting this place down in such a manner is a total shame. This place is tasty and famous. I say go and get yourself some fries at least one more time while you still can.

Amsterdam to pay hookers and marijuana parlours to quit
Filed under: Weird by Branko Collin @ 5:56 am
The downtown district of Amsterdam will start offering subsidies to 'undesirable' companies if they change their type of business. The district lists so called coffeeshops (marijuana parlours), currency exchanges, massage parlours, prostitutes, small supermarkets, and other businesses that draw tourists to the city as eligible for a subsidy.
The borough wants to kill all kinds of economic activities in order to increase the variety of economic activities. Don't ask me, I just live here.

Unesco pulls trigger on Amsterdam
Filed under: Architecture,General,History by Branko Collin @ 1:35 pm
Amsterdam's city hall scored a major victory in the War on Fun today when Unesco added the city's historical centre to its World Heritage list.
The appointment fits right into the city government's fantasies of turning the city into Anton Pieck's wet dream. A group critical of—and therefore silenced by—the municipality, pointed to the damning example of staid Bruges in Belgium earlier.
Publicist Rogier van Kralingen told Radio Netherlands: "People don't visit Amsterdam just because it gives them a flavour of the past, but because it has a strong spirit of freedom. The city has an open-hearted, liberal feel to it. If a city wants to create a good environment for its residents and international businesses – which, let's face it, will have to provide most of our income – you need to maintain a healthy balance between tourism, recreation and people's freedom to do what they want."
It's not like the city and borough councils needed more ammunition: here's a list of things they have already outlawed. And what's keeping the Robert-Jasper Grootveld statue?
The Unesco decision makes downtown Amsterdam the seventh World Heritage site in the kingdom.

Collection of 2,400 ecstasy pills stolen
Filed under: Weird by Branko Collin @ 4:11 pm
When Jan from Eerbeek, Gelderland noticed last Thursday that his extensive ecstasy collection had been stolen, he immediately notified the police. Even though it is believed that the collection is illegal, the 46-year-old sounded the alarm because he fears some of the pills may be poisonous.
The man started his collection 20 years ago. The last 10 years he has hardly worked on it, according to an article in De Stentor. The collector, who tried ecstasy once but didn't like it, hopes for clemency from the Department of Justice.
"It is a great pity I lost the collection. I would have liked to preserve it for the ages."
Ecstasy pills are often colourful and come in a great variety of prints. BoingBoing moderator Arkizzle explains the magnitude of the loss of the collection of 2,400 pills:
Pill marks in illicit drug manufacturing are lovely ephemeral things, that come and go as the brand is made and fades. Drugs, obviously, don't tend to get saved for posterity, so this collection was probably unique. Also, I understand that owning the stamping dies is legally akin to having forgery plates, so they are unlikely to be reproducible.
I once saw a fantastic exhibition of acid blotters in London; original and reprints. Lots of 'Dead-style artwork, amongst cartoon characters and repeating geometric shapes.

Yab Yum the musical
Filed under: Shows by Branko Collin @ 2:37 pm
Gossip 'journalist' Henk van der Meyden and sex boss Theo Heuft have teamed up to produce a musical about the latter's former brothel, Yab Yum.
Yab Yum, named after a Tantric position called 'woman on top' in the West, was the iconic brothel of the Netherlands until it was closed down last year by the city of Amsterdam using the dubious Bibob law, which allows local governments to refuse permits on the basis of rumours.
Speaking of which, it was rumoured that Yab Yum was the place where one brought business associates if deals needed to be closed.
According to Radio Netherlands, Heuft told the Telegraaf (Van der Meyden's employer):
It's an honour that there's going to be a musical about my life's work. That's what Yab Yum was. I mounted prostitution in a golden frame.
[The musical will allow us] to enter a world of beautiful young women, of glamour and glitter.

Amsterdam bullies critical group into dropping name and logo
Filed under: Architecture,General by Branko Collin @ 10:08 am
A group of Amsterdam citizens critical of the way the city is run has decided to change its name and logo under heavy pressure of the city government, Volkskrant reported last week (Dutch).
The group called Ai! Amsterdam (meaning Ouch! Amsterdam, a play on the official city marketing slogan of the city, I Amsterdam) has publicly criticized the city's ban on drinking-while-standing, the gradual closing down of the Red Light district, and other less illuminated measures. The city has threatened with costly legal procedures if the group do not give up their name and logo, procedures which the group estimate would cost them tens of thousands of euro.
Ai! Amsterdam points out to De Pers (Dutch) that the city centre's candidacy for becoming a UNESCO world heritage site (not just the canals, the entire city centre!) threatens the liveliness and openness of the city even further, creating a real risk of Amsterdam becoming just as staid as Bruges, Belgium, which is also a world heritage site. I think the group are underexaggerating things. At least Bruges started out boring. Amsterdam on the other hand has something to lose.
Ironically, the official I Amsterdam manifesto proclaims: "It's time for Amsterdam to speak out for itself and make its relevance known in a proud, supportive and positive manner."

Calvin's 500th birthday luxuries sell briskly
Filed under: History,Religion by Branko Collin @ 11:27 am
The granddaddy of the War on Fun must surely be Jean Cauvin (1509 – 1564), the French protestant priest who is seen around these parts as more influential than Luther himself. The man was a big believer in hard work and no (earthly) reward, so it is perhaps odd that the trinkets that are being sold in honour of his 500th anniversary are selling like hot cakes.
Brabants Dagblad reports (Dutch) that a small lake of Calvijn jenever has already been sold (500+ bottles), and that the 25,000 print run of the Calvijn glossy has completely sold out. The exhibition about his life in Dordrecht has so far attracted more than 60,000 visitors. It is unknown if all these people gorged themselves on nectar and ambrosia right after, but there are ten restaurants in Dordrecht that offer special Calvin meals. Perhaps just a pea on a plate, who knows?
Novelist Maarten 't Hart points out delicately in NRC Handelsblad (Dutch) that some of the rules of sobriety of Calvin derive from Roman stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger, who did not like music and dancing ("[there is] a time to dance", Ecc. 3:4) and other exuberances, such as wearing anything other than dark clothes ("Let thy garments be always white", Ecc. 9:8).
Meanwhile, in the same paper (Dutch) liberal politician Boris van der Ham points out that the celebration of 500 years sobriety is also the celebration of 400 years resistance against the Calvinist philosophy. The States of Holland had a session in 1608 in which theologian Arminius pleaded for the free will of people: "And so I think that man tries to think well, want well and act well." But Van der Ham also points out that the Dutch reputation as being straight-shooters to the point of being rude is firmly rooted in Calvinism. "In other countries 'sins' were often allowed in a don't-ask,-don't-tell way, here the curtains were drawn wide open. […] If other countries sometimes look with bewilderment at our freedoms, it's not because of the freedoms themselves, but because we are so open and honest about them, in what is essentially a Calvinist way."

First bar where smoking is legal?
Filed under: Dutch first by Branko Collin @ 10:29 am
When the smoking ban for bars was introduced last year, it hit Groningen bar De Balk as hard as any other café. Owner Aethne McGhie, originally from Scotland, turned a storage room into a smoking room, but the result was that the bar area itself looked absolutely dead. Her remaining customers came up with an idea: why not turn things around, move the actual bar into the storage room, and the former bar area into the smoking area. And so it was done. The result is that people now have to walk to the former storage room to get their drinks, but, McGhie told Parool (Dutch), even the toughest customers soon learned how to play nice.
The professional busy bodies who have to enforce the ban on fun, the Voedsel en Warenautoriteit (VWA), grudgingly admitted to De Telegraaf (Dutch) that this ploy is actually legal. "But we wouldn't necessarily call it a legal bar," a spokesperson said. Turns out that they found a technicality with which they can still cause problems for De Balk. Apparently, the law that says that a room where drinks are served must have a minimal size hasn't been adapted to take the new circumstances that the smoking ban created into account.
Another entity that won't call De Balk "the first legal smoking bar" is perhaps not surprisingly Hiermaghetwel.nl (Dutch), the website that keeps track of all the bars in the Netherlands where you can legally smoke. They point out that Café Populair in Amsterdam was the first to come up with the idea of a small bar section and large smoking area, way back in September last year (AT5, Dutch).
