Jan 04, – Ending the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history is a difficult task, but it is "within our reach", the U.N.'s new mission chief on the disease said, warning that the world has no choice but to beat back the infection.
"This is a global crisis. We definitely have a difficult time ahead of us, but we can achieve it," Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the new head of the U.N. Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), said on arrival in Ghana on Saturday.
"We have no plan B, we have to get rid of this virus. This is within our reach, but we should not be complacent," said Ahmed, a Mauritanian, who had arrived in Accra to officially assume duty, taking over from American Anthony Banbury.
"We need to keep going until we don't have even one case, because even one case is too many," he said. "The work ahead remains very hard but we really have no other choice," the Ebola mission chief added, according to the statement.
Ahmed will be visiting Liberia and Sierra Leone this week, and Guinea shortly after, "to reinforce UNMEER's strategic priorities and see first-hand the Ebola response." the text said.
He will be accompanied by U.N. Special Envoy on Ebola, David Nabarro, it added.


With attendance an issue over the summer, committed pie hunters took the opportunity to visit Blacklock in Soho and we weren't disappointed. Certainly the best meat we have enjoyed in quite some while, we'd recommend the all-in platters of skinny chops (they are not skinny), served on meat juice soaked flatbread.
They only serve one dessert – homemade cheesecake. We obviously looked hungry as they left us the tray. Delicious.

The Dragons traveled to Lapeer West for a Flint Metro League double-header Thursday. They were all business winning both games by the run rule. They improved their overall record to 20-6 and league record to 13-1. They will play their last league games Monday night at Holly. If they win both they will be outright champions. A split would give them at least a share of the championship.
Hayley Cruthers led off the game with another opposite field Home Run, her 10th of the season. Carah Pletscher followed with a Double. With 1 out Lauren Black singled moving Pletscher to 3rd. Hailey Fox laid down a sacrifice bunt that moved Black to 2nd, but kept Pletscher at 3rd. With 2 outs Lauren Adas doubled scoring both runners. Tabby Miller came into courtesy run. Jamie Perigo was hit by a pitch. Hanna Sayles reached base on an error to load the bases with 2 outs. Emily Rodriguez singled scoring Miller and Perigo, while moving Sayles to 3rd. As the Dragons batted around, Cruthers singled scoring Sayles and moved Rodriguez to 3rd, while advancing to 2nd on a error by the outfielder. Pletscher hit her 2nd Double of the game scoring both runners. And the inning would come to an end with Creek up 8-0.

Fox singled scoring Brookman and moved Black to 2nd. Adas reached base on a fielder's choice that forced out Fox at 2nd and moved Black to 3rd. Miller came into courtesy run and stole 2nd base with Black scoring on the errant throw to 2nd. Perigo grounded out moving Miller to 3rd with 2 outs. But, she would be stranded with the Dragons now up 15-0.
West's bats came alive in the bottom of the 5th scoring 4 runs, but could not score enough to avoid the run rule as Creek won the opener 15-4.
Cross pitched 5 innings allowing 3 earned runs on 7 hits with 6 strike outs. Cruthers was 3-3 with 2 Home Runs, 4 RBIs, scored 4 runs, and had the intentional walk. Pletscher had 2 Doubles and scored twice with 2 RBIs. Brookman had 2 hits and scored. Black had 2 hits, scored twice, and had an RBI. Adas doubled with 2 RBIs.

Love God? Love God's creation. All of it.
It is Christ-like to be an environmentalist.
Jesus said, speaking about how people treated others who were considered lesser than them, "Whatever you do to the least of these you do to me." He meant that you should treat everybody like you would treat somebody important. Consider this – animals, plants are the "least" as well. Who says it just has to be for people?
If we are to "Love your neighbor", then doesn't that mean everybody and everything? God created everything. We show reverence to God by respecting God's gifts.
Why find another planet? We will just have another to mess up. All that money on building a spaceship and terraforming another planet… Why not work on clean water and air here? Why colonize another planet? We need to learn how to get along and reduce our population here. We need to learn to live within our means, and be proper stewards of "our island home", as Carl Sagan called Earth.
We don't need laws for this. We need to change minds and attitudes.
Remember when you wanted to get a carbonated beverage years ago? Perhaps you call it a soda pop, or a soda, just pop, or a Coke as we call it in the South? Things have sure changed.
Back when I was growing up nothing was in plastic. If you wanted a soda to drink you would get it in a glass bottle. They were very heavy and fairly expensive. We saw them as treats. We didn't drink them all the time or even every day. You couldn't reseal them, so you couldn't take one with you and drink it throughout the day. Because it was glass you had to be fairly careful with it too.
Back then, we didn't recycle the glass – it got reused. Do you remember playing the game with the Coca-Cola bottles? They would have the names of cities on the bottom of them. Your friends would get bragging rights for whoever had the one from the furthest away. These bottles were washed and reused and sanitized over and over again.
Reusing them takes far less energy than melting down and reforming them. Why do we think that we are so environmentally conscious now with plastic? So many people don't recycle that plastic bottles are huge burden on landfills. Because they are in plastic, we drink more and more, and thus pollute more and more.
Another benefit of the old way is that we drank a lot less sodas. Sodas are bad for our health. When we wanted something sweet to drink as children we drink Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid with its sugar isn't the healthiest thing to drink, of course. But we are learning that sugar is better than high fructose corn syrup. And drinking Kool-Aid was better for the environment. It didn't come in big wasteful bottles. It came in little packets and we added the water. You also had control over how much sugar you added. In general as a child I remember simply drinking water.
So perhaps the old way was in fact better. It cost less to our health, our pockets, and the environment.

Q: Scaling a variable that is an interaction of two variables, for GLM Is there a way to scale all your variables *including your interaction variables, in a GLM?  For example, running the model works when I scale all single variables, but not the interactions.
This works:
mod_lm_scale <-glm( pa ~
        scale(WC05) + scale(WC06) + scale(WC08) +
        scale(WC13) + scale(WC15),

data=sdmdata,

family='binomial')

Trying to add a scaled interaction does not work.  See the last term: scale(WC05:WC06)
mod_lm_scale <-glm( pa ~
        scale(WC05) + scale(WC06) + scale(WC08) +
        scale(WC13) + scale(WC15),
        scale(WC05:WC06),

data=sdmdata,

family='binomial')

I receive this error when including the scaled interaction, and receive no errors when I don't include it:
Error in model.frame.default(formula = pa ~ scale(WC05_clipped) + scale(WC06_clipped) +  :
  variable lengths differ (found for '(weights)')
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In WC05_clipped:WC06_clipped :

2: In WC05_clipped:WC06_clipped :

Q: TemplateRef requires type argument Component HTML:
<ng-template #content/> </ng-template>

Component TS:
@ViewChild('content')
public content: TemplateRef;

Visual Studio message:
[ts] Generic type 'TemplateRef<C>' requires 1 type argument(s)

Am I supposed to just make it TemplateRef<any> ?
Code samples never seem to specify the generics though.
Is this new ?

A: You can use TempalteRef<any> and in almost all use cases you'll be fine.
But if you want more information, you can read this blog post (specifically the "Dynamic Scoping in Angular"
 section) by Minko Gechev.

A: Based on Nexaddo post, I will elaborate here.
Given a component:
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-modal',
      templateUrl: './my.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./my.component.css']
    })
    export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
      data = "oldData";
      @ViewChild() template0:TemplateRef<any>;
      constructor() { }

      ngOnInit() {
      }

    }

TempalteRef is a template reference as its name implies. @ViewChild() is just there to say "the template is in my view", you could use @ContentChild() or @Input() if you passed the template from the call to MyComponent.
When you summon it in your component template (./my.component.html here), in most cases you would do so :
    <ng-template #template0>

Lorem Ipsum...

{{data}}

Lorem Ipsum...

    </ng-template>
    <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="template0">

    </ng-container>

Here, the call to template0 will interpolate data from the component context, because all templates inside it share the same context. But you could specify another context like so:
    <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="template0;context=newCtx">

    </ng-container>

From:
    export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
      data = "oldData";
      newCtx = {data = "newData"};
      ...
    }

Like so, the "newData" will be interpolated instead of "oldData".
Now, you do realize newCtx has any as a type, and that's where TemplateRef<any> comes from. In most cases you might be fine with it, but for the sake of reusability or just for compiler check, you could precise which class this context should be: TemplateRef<CustomContextClass>, and you'd have to declare your context like so : newCtx:CustomContextClass (or any child class of CustomContextClass naturally).
src: https://blog.angular-university.io/angular-ng-template-ng-container-ngtemplateoutlet/ and https://blog.mgechev.com/2017/10/01/angular-template-ref-dynamic-scoping-custom-templates/

A: In Angular Material 2 they used
TemplateRef<any>

everywhere
https://github.com/angular/material2/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=templateref&type=
I haven't seen anything where this type parameter would be relevant.

A: In case you want to use Angular best practices and don't use "any" as a type for the TemplateRef<C> when passing a reference to a HTML element you can use the generic interface type for html elements: Element
Component TS:
public content: TemplateRef<Element>;

Q: ASP.NET MVC 5 Internationalization - culture allways default I followed this great article about ASP.NET MVC 5 Internationalization (refered by asp.net site):
http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization.aspx
After implementing, I have just one problem that I can't solve.
In MVC5, using the culture in urls (NOT using cookies), the culture is allways the default, never getting the users prefered languages sent by browser.
In more detail:
The problem is the defauls for culture in MapRoute, that start with the default hardcoded culture for site. Then in the BeginExecuteCore the RouteData.Values["culture"] is allways filled with the default culture, never getting culture from Request.UserLanguages.
The RouteData.Values["culture"] is filled even if the culture is not present in the url, at first site root access for example.
How to correctly change this behavior?
Maybe creating 2 Routes, one without culture?
Associated code:
routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{culture}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new {culture = CultureHelper.GetDefaultCulture(), controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

protected override IAsyncResult BeginExecuteCore(AsyncCallback callback, object state)
{
    string cultureName = RouteData.Values["culture"] as string;

    // Attempt to read the culture cookie from Request
    if (cultureName == null)
        cultureName = Request.UserLanguages != null && Request.UserLanguages.Length > 0 ? Request.UserLanguages[0] : null; // obtain it from HTTP header AcceptLanguages
     //...
}

A: I discovered the solution, need to add another mapRoute (the mvc default for site root access), and coment the default value for culture route, route order is important, everything works good now:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            //Route order is important! First need to put culture route.

            //support for diferent languages/cultures
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "CultureEnabled",
                url: "{culture}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { /*culture = CultureHelper.GetDefaultCulture(),*/ controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }

Q: DB2 inserting both timestamp values and null values into a nullable timestamp column When selecting timestamps (which are nullable with defualt null) from a source table through a PHP script and trying to insert into an identical destination table,
I get the error 'SYNTAX of date, time or timestamp value not valid SQL state 22008'. I believe it's because some source records are null. When the script runs, I get about half the records inserted into my destination table successfully but only the ones that have actual timestamp values. The null records haven't been inserted.
My statements:
    SELECT
        TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION
    FROM TABLE1;

    INSERT INTO TABLE2 (EXPIRATION_T)
    VALUES ($TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION);

The problem is that half of my  source records are null and the other half are TIMESTAMP with a degree of 6
The definition of source and destination tables have the column as 'TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION FOR COLUMN 0011TTT TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL' and 'EXPIRATION_T FOR COLUMN 00EETTT TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL'
WHat can I do to get the null values to insert as well?
UPDATE: CREATION STATEMENTS
 CREATE TABLE TABLE1 (
    ID INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (
    START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 ),

    TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION FOR COLUMN 0011TTT TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL )

    RCDFMT TABLE1      ;

CREATE TABLE TABLE2 (
    ID INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (
    START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 ),

    EXPIRATION_T} FOR COLUMN 00EETTT TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL )

    RCDFMT TABLE2      ;

UPDATE: PHP SCRIPT
    $getDev = "
    SELECT
        ID,
        TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION
    FROM TABLE1
";

$stmt = odbc_exec($DB2connDEV, $getDev);

while($gettingItems = odbc_fetch_array($stmt)){

    $rows[] = $gettingItems;
}

foreach($rows as $row){

    $originalID = $row['ID'];
    $expiration = $row['TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION'];

    $insertTable = "INSERT INTO table2 (id,expiration_t) VALUES (
        $originalID,
        '$expiration')";

    $stmt = odbc_exec($DB2connPROD, $insertTable);
}

A: Consider parameterization with a prepared statement and not string interpolation such as this '$expiration' that renders null to empty string:
$apn_stmt = odbc_prepare($DB2connPROD, "INSERT INTO table2 (id, expiration_t) VALUES (?, ?)");
$sel_stmt = odbc_exec($DB2connDEV, "SELECT ID, TIMESTAMP_EXPIRATION FROM TABLE1");

while($gettingItems = odbc_fetch_array($sel_stmt)) {
    $rows[] = $gettingItems;
}

"The more we share the love of God the more we are filled with the love of God." That line seems counterintuitive. How could giving something away result in being filled with it even more? But the truth is, that's exactly what happens in God's economy.
God, in His sovereignty, has promised us that when we are willing to step outside of ourselves and reach out to the world around us, He will continue to equip us and empower us. It's the picture of letting things go so that we can hold even more.
Are you sharing God's love? Are you constantly looking for ways to give away grace? Make sure you aren't holding on to what God has given you. Instead, be willing, ready, and able to share the love of God with a lost and dying world!
Thank God for the love He has shown you. Pray for opportunities, courage, and discipline to share that love with those around you.
Perform one random act of kindness today. (For example, you could pay for the meal of a stranger at a restaurant.) But don't just let it be random. Attach an invitation to church along with the paid bill, and invite others to experience the love that caused you to pay for their meal!


Do you play games? Are you looking for an active community? Want events so you can sing your heart out? Giveaways? Gaming Tournaments? Do you draw? Like to watch anime?
It's a gaming and social community where we chill out, have discussions, play games: Apex Legends, Splatoon, Smash Bros, Overwatch, and more. There's also music bots, movie nights, and giveaways on the server!
No, you don't have to be a gamer! You can just be here to chat, share memes and talk about your day :) We have active voice channels as well!

Nathan Byrd went modified racing at Irwindale Speedway last weekend. (Byrd Racing photo)
BYRD: Modified Madness At Irwindale
Nathan Byrd November 17, 2022
IRWINDALE, Calif. — Instead of the usual fire drill of racing from one car to another, this past weekend at Irwindale Speedway I narrowed my focus — at least for one weekend.
It was a weekend of modified racing on Irwindale Speedway's half-mile asphalt oval — a track that I really enjoy.
It was the first time in 14 months that I was back in a modified in a straightforward, two-day schedule that included three practices on Friday followed by a practice, qualifying and feature on Saturday.
The last time I raced the modified on Irwindale's half-mile, it was relative success in both qualifying and the feature before my right rear-tire was cut in the beginning of the race. Friday's main goal was to get reacquainted with the Arce Racing car and to take advantage of all the practice time available to work on setup changes and get the car dialed in.
Each practice session was 30 minutes long, enough time to allow us to make changes and return to the track. That was great because it helped me learn in quick succession how different changes to the car affected its handling characteristics.
In each practice, I ran consistent times just two-tenths off the fastest driver. My fastest lap was a 19.195, my best at Irwindale.
The only downer for the night was on my final run, when the car lost oil pressure because of a self-protective mechanism in the engine, the car thankfully turned itself off. The eventual diagnosis was the oil pump failed. This was a blessing in disguise though, because we were debating on whether to even go back out for that final run.
We had pretty much gotten everything out of the used tires that we could.
My dad told me it would probably be a good idea to go out one more time just to experiment with how the car felt on the passing line around the bottom of the track. I agreed and went back out, but if I hadn't then we probably would've experienced the failure with the engine in the morning practice.
That would have been difficult to replace before qualifying and the race, and we would have been scrambling to make the feature.
When I got to the track on Saturday, the team was still working on the car, replacing the old engine with the new one. They were able to finish the engine swap and get me out just in time so I could scrub tires for qualifying during practice.
I was sixth fastest in practice with a 19.256-second lap.
The way they convert qualifying times to the feature is unique in the Spears Modified Series. The top eight qualifiers do a random pill draw to determine their starting positions. I squeezed into the very competitive top eight with a 19.073-second effort that was my fastest time around Irwindale. This was with a sub-optimal setup as the car was slightly too loose, preventing me from getting off the corners as hard as I wanted.
It was still incredible, though, the seven fastest qualifiers were all within two-tenths of each other. It was even more incredible the fact that my teammate and I drew first and second in the pill draw to lock out the front row of the feature for Arce Racing Engines.
The 60-lap feature race was shortly after qualifying. I talked to my crew chief about the setup we wanted for the feature. We both determined that starting off with a car that was too tight would be optimal, as the car would come to me during the last half of the race.
Starting second, I was looking to hold onto my position for as long as I could while I dealt with the tight car. As the car improved over the course of the race, I hoped to compete for a podium finish.
Well, that was the plan at least.
I had a great start to the race, taking the lead right off the rip over my teammate. The car's setup was neutral and felt great for a few laps. But I knew this meant that it was only going to go downhill from there. Despite being in the lead for a few laps, I was soon challenged on the inside by a faster car and was passed. I was doing my best to manage the car, while maintaining the pace of the fastest cars ahead of me, but ended up overdriving the entry of turn three.
As a result, I got into the marbles and spun. I grazed the wall with my left-rear quarter panel and restarted last.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances I was still determined to get everything out of the car that I could and learn as much as possible while working my way back up the field. I restarted the race in 15th and worked my way to 10th place, chasing after my teammate who was in.
Despite our lackluster performance in the feature given how competitive the car was leading up to it, I wasn't completely bummed with the result. I could tell how much I had grown as a driver and racer since my last race at Irwindale Speedway on the half mile.
I was generally happy with my performance as a driver and it makes me excited to see what I can do in the car if modified racing ends up on my very busy racing schedule again next year.
I can't thank God and the Arce Racing crew and folks enough for all their hard work and for letting me in on their racing season. I'm really looking forward to working with them again.
I know that with my improvements as a driver and a nailed setup, we will be quite the force on the race track.
That's something that I wouldn't have been able to confidently say 14 months ago.

Tony Blinken says that the US intends to remove the rest of troops in 2011, but he won't say that they'll leave even if Iraq falls apart. And, he says, there is no dialogue with Iran about Iraq's future.
Could Iraq fall apart, the Washington Post asked General Odierno, the departing US commander in Iraq, this week. "It could," Odierno replied.
That's why Tony Blinken's answer to my question at a US Institute of Peace event on Tuesday is especially troubling. Blinken is Vice President Biden's top aide for national security, and since Biden has the Iraq portfolio for the White House, his views are particularly important.
Since Iraq might, indeed, fall apart, I asked Blinken, are there any conceivable circumstances in which President Obama might renege on the plan to withdraw the remaining 49,000 US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011? What if Iraq falls back into violence and civil war? In response, Blinken called it a "hypothetical" question and he refused to comment. He added that the remaining US forces in Iraq—two of whom were killed yesterday by a rogue Kurdish soldier—are "fully prepared to deal with any contingencies that develop." Though both President Obama's own commitment and the terms of the US-Iraq treaty negotiated in 2008 by President Bush call for the removal of all US forces by the end of 2011, Blinken would not say definitively that the troops would leave no matter what. I don't know what Blinken's definition of hypothetical is, but it isn't hypothetical to say that there are no circumstances that could lead Obama to halt the withdrawal or, even worse, to reverse it and add more troops.
Part of the reason that Iraq might fall apart is that Iran, which has enormous influence in Iraq, is positioned to stir up trouble against the United States and its role in Iraq, especially if US-Iran relations deteriorate sharply over other issues, such as Iran's nuclear program. I asked Blinken if the Obama administration has any sort of dialogue with Iran over Iraq, something like the direct talks between the United States and Iran that took place sporadically in Baghdad during the Bush administration. Blinked said no. "We do not have a dialogue with Iran about Iraq," he said.
Needless to say, Iran will not view a burgeoning US-Iraq military relationship with equanimity, nor will they see US efforts to push Iraqi politicians into creating a US-leaning government that shuts out Iran's friends. Blinken, for instance, made it clear that the United States does not favor the including of the anti-American Sadrist movement in the Iraqi government, if and when a government is ever formed. Rather, the United States is exerting its influence to push Prime Minister Maliki and former Prime Minister Allawi into a grand alliance, according to various reports, while minimizing the role of the Shiite bloc, which includes the Sadrists. Such a deal may or may not be possible, and there's no forward movement yet. But clearly both Iran and the United States and playing a zero-sum game at present to influence the creation of a government in Iraq that leans one way or the other.
Blinken said that Iran has so far failed to exert influence. He cited the "development of a new nationalism" in Iraq which wants to reduce Iran's role—though, pointedly, he did not say that that same nationalism is bitterly opposed to America's influence, too. But Blinken did acknowledge that by virtue of geography, history, and religious affinity (i.e., Shiism), Iran will always have influence in Iraq. And he noted that 75 to 80 percent of Iraqis want the United States to leave Iraq. Still, it's clear that the Obama administration isn't giving up on the idea that the United States can turn Iraq into an eastern version of Egypt, that is, a conservative, pro-US Arab country that relies on Washington for military support. Given Iran's proximity, however, and the fact that Iraq, unlike Egypt, has vast oil resources to fuel its independence, that seems unlikely at best.

Abadi's fate in six months
By Adnan Hussein Tuesday, 28 November 2017
Last week, Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi's office said that he checked an electoral registration office in Baghdad and took his polling card.
The announcement did not only aim to urge people to register and get their polling cards but also indicated that Abadi is determined to hold the upcoming elections scheduled after six months, mid-May of 2018, and run for a second premiership term.
Abadi's path to a second term is clear and it seems guaranteed. The supporting circumstances to secure this second term were never available to those who preceded him as premiers.
The number of armed forces and security forces is now increasing and their votes, which is known as the "special voting", will definitely go to the prime minister since the latter is also the general commander of the armed forces.

Abadi's success at liberating all areas occupied by ISIS made him very popular. This popularity increased – outside the Kurdistan region – amid the crisis with the region regarding the referendum.
Abadi is now seeking to benefit from all this to win a second term and form a cabinet that has a comfortable political base. He frequently said that he looks forward to establish a national coalition that goes beyond sectarianism and nationalism.
The road is actually paved in front of him as in the past three years, many developments broke the political formula, which lasted since the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003, and which is based on political-partisan shares that are disguised under sectarian-nationalist slogans.
Iraq's stability and achieving sustainable development during the phase after ISIS greatly rely on the relation between Baghdad and Erbil
Adnan Hussein
The governance formula
During the last phase, the governance formula in Baghdad was based on the Shiite-Sunni-Kurdish axis. A coalition between Shiite parties, another between Sunni parties and a third between Kurdish parties was formed.
These coalitions controlled power and money in Baghdad and specified the fate of the entire political process by a consensus and by violating the constitution at several occasions.
There was a fourth parallel coalition that was neither sectarian nor nationalist. It was the National Iraqi Alliance, which was not efficient enough, because others weakened it of course, and it was thus neither part of governance nor part of the opposition.
The sharing system and consensus policy failed miserably in managing Iraq and all the four coalitions acknowledge it. This is in addition to what Iraq's miserable security, economic and social situation reveals as one third of its area fell under the control of ISIS the war against whom has not fully ended yet. Now after this system of governance reached a dead end, efforts are underway to work in another direction.
ALSO READ: Abadi says Iraq to act soon over border areas in stand-off with Kurds
Parties no longer make traditional agreements. Shiite parties are no longer united as they divided, like what happened with the State of Law Coalition (Abadi's and Maliki's wings) and with the Supreme Council of Iraq whose defecting members formed the National Wisdom Movement. Al-Ahrar bloc (the Sadrist) also completely withdrew from the (Shiite) national coalition.
The same happened with the Kurds as the Gorran Movement and Kurdistan Islamic Movement dissociated themselves from the Kurdish alliance. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which was a major power in the Kurdish coalition, is confronting fragmentation, which began during the era of its founder and late leader Jalal Talabani.
Sunni powers have been the most fragmented ever since ISIS invaded Sunni areas and displaced millions of citizens from their cities that were destroyed during the war, which Iraqi forces fought to liberate them from the terrorist group's control. Sunnis are extremely angry at their leaders as they think they are interested in securing their influence and are involved in financial and administrative corruption.
The best chance
Therefore, this is the best chance to form a coalition that goes beyond sectarianism and nationalism. Abadi in particular has the chance to do as he is the head of the executive authority and his acceptability in and outside Iraq is steadily progressing. The most popular Shiite party, the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr, recently voiced its support of him publicly.
According to some information, there is a possibility of agreements being forged with other Shiite powers, Kurdish powers and new Sunni powers which emerged when ISIS occupied Iraqi cities. An agreement of some sort will likely be established with the National Iraqi Alliance led by Ayad Allawi.
These agreement's requirements are establishing a governance formula (of coalitions) that is different than the formula of solely making decisions. This latter approach was adopted by previous governments and it somehow continued to exist during the current government's term.
What is certain that Abadi will increase his chances of managing an (national) expanded coalition and win a second term if he implements what he vowed to do in the past weeks: combat administrative and financial corruption and restore the funds which were stolen over the course of 14 years and which are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. This is very important and addressing this matter is one of the most urgent and popular demands.
ALSO READ: Iraq's top court declares Kurd referendum unconstitutional
However, Abadi faces an obstacle here as most corruption operations were and continue to be managed by leaders of parties that are influential in authority. Most of them are also Islamic. By opening this corruption file, Abadi will be like those who are stepping in a nest of wasps. The same will happen when it comes to discussing the matter of arms outside the context of the state and implementing the law.
The other important point is relations between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region. Iraq's stability and achieving sustainable development during the phase after ISIS greatly rely on the relation between Baghdad and Erbil. Tensions will weigh heavily on the entire Iraqi situation.
Erbil made mistakes and so did Baghdad. The way Abadi will address this problem will play a role in specifying the nature of the next government and Iraq's fate for the next four years.

Hometown: Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 35405
Current audition song/monologue: Rascal Flatts is a song I like to sing a lot, and I haven't been asked for a monologue since I left school.
Special skills: I can fold my ear into itself!!
Something you're REALLY bad at: Cooking, but I trick myself into thinking I can get better because of Top Chef. Basketball is a close second.
First Broadway show you ever saw: The Lion King when I was in the 7th grade. It was the most exciting thing I had ever seen, and I had to get everyone's autograph who walked out of that stage door. No excuses!
Favorite showtune of all time: I love "Big News" from Parade.
Some favorite musicals: Urinetown, Once, Shrek, The Last Five Years
One performance that you attended, that you'll never forget: I saw The Seafarer at the Booth Theatre and was blown away by all of those mens' performances.

Most played song on your iPod: "The Pocket" by Andy Grammer
Last book you read: The Diary of Anne Frank
First Cast Recording you owned: Rent
Favorite dessert/bakery in New York: Is it cliché if I say Schmackary's? It's not cliché if it's true.

How you got your Equity card: I got my card from doing MCC's Carrie Off-Broadway last year. But I really did do that EMC point thing too, and only needed one more when it happened I found out about Carrie.
Worst flubbed line/missed cue/onstage mishap: One time I was playing Will Parker in Oklahoma! and in that first scene where he comes on to do Kansas City, there is a whole scene that revolves around a prop called, "The Little Wonder." Well, in all my opening-night-excitement (yes it was also opening night), I forget to bring, "The Little Wonder," on stage with me, and there was absolutely no way of anyone having time to run and get it because of the theater we were in that night. I'm not joking when I tell you it was the most sick I have ever felt. I was a deer in headlights! During the whole scene, I just kept making weird eyes at Aunt Eller, hoping she would get the hint and we eventually moved into the song… awkwardly. It was hilarious and horrifying.
Worst costume ever: I was a pirate in Peter Pan, circa 9th grade. I was 14, chubby, made to wear a leather chest-strap (with a ring in the center), no shirt, and leather gladiator skirt
Worst job you ever had: Working at my on-campus book store in college.
Something about you that surprises people: I do a good Colonel Sanders impression

How to end a movement
A quarter of a century ago, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam looked like a potentially successful separatist movement. They represented a cohesive minority with legitimate grievances against the majority-�controlled government of Sri Lanka. They had a natural base of support among the large Tamil community in southern India. And they had a knack for tactical innovation.
All those resources were squandered. Sri Lanka�s civil war came to an apparent end Monday with the killing of the Tamil Tigers� leader, Velupilai Prabhakaran. The underlying causes of Tamil discontent remain to be addressed, and peace may not return easily after a quarter-century of conflict. But the Tamil Tigers gave the world an object lesson in how to fail the test of transforming an insurrection into a force with a legitimate claim to state power, public support and international recognition.
The Tamil Tigers� failure may have initially seemed like success. They took effective control of a portion of northern Sri Lanka and established what amounted to a separate government, with its own schools, tax system and police force. But the brutality of the Tigers alienated even many of their own supporters. They pioneered many of the tactics that have come to be associated with terrorist movements, including the use of suicide belts and the recruitment of child soldiers.
Tamil speakers make up about 11 percent of Sri Lanka�s population of 21 million. About 60 million Tamils live in southern India. This should have given the Tamil Tigers a vast hinterland of political and material support � and for a time, that�s exactly what happened. But Indian support began to wane as the Tigers� harsh methods came into view, and dropped precipitously after Prabhakaran was implicated in the 1991 assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Prabhakaran continued to finance his insurrection with profits from a lucrative trade in weapons. He continued to command a fanatical loyalty among his fighters. But here, too, the Tigers failed. Prabhakaran was the Tamil Tigers� absolute leader � he did not develop a second tier of leadership, thereby guaranteeing that the movement could not go on after his death.
By early this year, the Tamil Tigers� refusal to participate in Sri Lanka�s political process helped ensure the election of an anti-separatist government, which launched an all-out military campaign to regain control of the entire island. The ferocity of the government�s assault led to complaints from human-rights organizations, and created a humanitarian emergency among those caught in the crossfire. But the Tamil Tigers had few defenders, and now it has few mourners.
It may be premature to celebrate peace in Sri Lanka � the war has gone on so long that many of those who have fought it know no other way to live. But Prabakharan drove away supporters of his cause, then made certain that his organization could not continue without him. The Tamil Tigers relied on terrorism and authoritarianism, and showed the political limits of both.

^^ our goal is to get people to TURN UP. How do we get that online?
Let's face it: people browsing for "stuff" online are easily distracted. There are a ton of "other things" they could be doing, other than paying attention to you.
So, how do you break through the noise and get people to "turn up" when you want them to?
In other words, if you want to really build a longterm author career, you need to focus on delivering the RIGHT value to the RIGHT people at the RIGHT time. And then get those readers to show their commitment to you before ever asking for the sale.
And it all starts with WHO you target, WHERE, and WHEN, and HOW – in a way that pulls readers towards you and grows your influence.
If you're a fiction author, you are in the market of entertaining people. Which means, you need to compete with cat videos, Facebook, video games, and a whole host of other "entertainment" that people can get on demand any time they like.
If you're a non-fiction author, you're up against cynicism, procrastination, and a ton of other "life factors" that stop people from taking action on the information and teaching they need (or even worse, you're dealing with people who don't even know they need what you can teach them). On top of that, there are a million free youtube videos that probably cover what you teach. Why should people listen to you?
This is where the "PULL" approach comes in (remember "push vs pull" from the previous page?).
Most people use the brute-force approach to force people to listen. Relentless ads, retargeting, sales pitches… to as wide an audience as possible. Hoping to see "what sticks" (note: most of it won't stick and you'll have to work hard to figure out what does).
But that approach doesn't work any more.
Whether you're writing fiction or non-fiction, chances are you're using ads right now. That means, you're trying to get someone to stop what they're doing right now and go do something completely different.
Example: a reader on Facebook is checking out what their friends are up to. They're NOT looking for a book to buy.
Someone on YouTube is looking for the latest movie trailer or funny cat video (or in the case of my kids, Ryan Toy's Review – grrrr). Some people might be looking for "how to" videos.
People on Google are looking for answers.
Instagram = looking at nice pictures.
You're relying on someone being excited enough about what you've got to offer to STOP what they're doing right now and go do something that's most likely completely different to what they were doing a second ago. In other words, you're interrupting them.
Do you think that's easier to do in a "push" fashion, or a "pull" fashion?
In other words, are people more easily attracted by what YOU want or by what THEY want?
I'm not going to give you the answer because it's pretty obvious. Your job is to show up in the RIGHT place to the RIGHT people and make the RIGHT offer.
In short, your goal is to create something of value, and present it to the right people at the right time.
That doesn't mean trying to convince random people to buy your book. That means cultivating trust and influence by giving the right people something valuable BEFORE money ever changes hands.
The next step is to get commitment from your readers. Filtering out the ones who aren't a good fit for you, and focusing on those who will LOVE you. Giving something away is fine, but there has to be a fair value exchange for your offer to mean anything.
Understanding what it takes to create that value exchange, and how to use it to lead your readers "down the path" towards the sale is how you build a long-lasting business of raving fans.
Let's talk about that in more detail on the next page.


The Kardashian sisters are shuttering Dash after 12 years of business, Kim announced via her app on Thursday (April 19).
The two remaining storefronts — one in Miami, and the other in Los Angeles — will be closed as of May 31, per Radar Online. They previously shuttered their New York boutique in 2016, citing high rent.
"We've loved running DASH, but in the last few years we've all grown so much individually," Kim wrote. "We've been busy running our own brands, as well as being moms and balancing work with our families. We know in our hearts that it's time to move on."
Dash, which launched in 2006 in Calabasas, has frequently been featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians over the years. It even spawned a short-lived spinoff show, Dash Dolls, in 2015, which ended after only one season.
The boutiques, however, have weathered their fair share of problems: A woman was arrested at their West Hollywood store in 2017 after threatening employees with a machete, and theft at the New York location was documented on KUWTK. The Kardashians, meanwhile, have moved on to other ventures — Kim with her cosmetics line, KKW Beauty, and Khloe with her Good American jeans.
