ARSENAL legend and former England goalkeeper David Seaman has criticised Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini for dropping Joe Hart.
Hart has had to warm the bench for the last three games with Pellegrini preferring to start Costel Pantilimon instead.
Pellegrini has also yet to make a decision on when he will start Hart again.
But Seaman, who was capped 74 times for his country, believes Hart should be given Pellegrini's backing.
He said: "Hart is brilliant. I was surprised he was dropped by City.
"He's a quality goalkeeper and is playing big pressure games every week and you can't say that about the other goalkeepers.
"He's by far our best keeper and I was glad Roy (Hodgson) came out and backed him.
"That's what you want as a goalkeeper. It's a shame his own (club) manager hasn't backed him as well."

'A Star Is Born' As Lady Gaga Debuts In Her First Feature Film Role
By Amanda Maxwell
In the remake of a 1937 classic, A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper co-star and sing together in the romantic musical. This is the first movie role for Gaga and the first time Cooper has directed a film.
The trailer opens with Cooper's character, Jackson Maine, a country singer-songwriter performing at a concert. Maine's life changes when he meets Gaga's character, Ally, a struggling artist performing at a local club.
"I don't sing my own songs. I just don't feel comfortable," she tells Maine. "Almost every single person has told me they liked the way I sounded but they didn't like the way I look."
Maine then replies, "I think you're beautiful."
The trailer continues with a montage of the two as they fall in love and perform original music.
"Lady Gaga also wrote a handful of original songs for the film with Cooper and other artists, including Lukas Nelson, Jason Isbell and Joanne collaborator Mark Ronson. All of the movie's music is original and was recorded live." - Rolling Stone
Gaga shows her appreciation for the film on Twitter, calling it a "dream come true and an honor" and sharing her excitement for us to meet Jack and Ally.
It's a dream come true and an honor to be a part of this incredible movie. Bradley's ability as a director, actor and musician is astounding. It's called "A Star Is Born," and I'm beyond thrilled for you to meet Jack and Ally. #AStarIsBorn https://t.co/L1rIawrzJ4
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) June 6, 2018
The film hits theaters October 5 and we can't wait! Congrats to Golden 1 Center performer, Lady Gaga!

Wilhelm Sellschopp, vollständig Wilhelm Karl Georg Ludwig, (* 13. Oktober 1862 in Schwiggerow; † 7. Juni 1938 in Hamburg) war ein deutscher Philatelist und Gründer und Namensgeber des ältesten Hamburger Briefmarkenhauses.

Leben

Wilhelm Sellschopp war der erste Sohn und das älteste von acht Kindern des bürgerlichen Rittergutsbesitzers August Friedrich Wilhelm Sellschopp (1835–1913) und seiner Frau Emilie, geb. Strempel (1842–1916). Der Pädagoge Adolf Sellschopp (1862–1938) war sein jüngerer Bruder. Zwei seiner Schwestern heirateten Theologieprofessoren: Anna (1867–1948) heiratete Erich Schaeder und war die Mutter von Hildegard Schaeder, Martha (1878–1946) heiratete Wilhelm Lütgert. Gesine Palmer ist seine Urgroßnichte.

Er wuchs in Groß Stove auf und besuchte die Schule in Waren (Müritz). In Lübeck machte er eine kaufmännische Lehre.

1891 wanderte er in die USA aus und eröffnete in San Francisco eine Briefmarkenhandlung; er war der erste, der an der Westküste der USA Briefmarken-Auktionen einführte. Von 1892 bis 1901 gab er die Fachzeitschrift Filatelic Facts and Fallacies: a monthly magazine for stamp collectors and dealers heraus.

1899 gründete er in Hamburg eine Filiale und kehrte 1901 dorthin zurück. Nach der Zerstörung des Geschäfts in San Francisco durch das Erdbeben von San Francisco 1906, bei dem sein Lagerbestand unversehrt blieb, gab er dieses auf und konzentrierte sich auf das Geschäft in Hamburg. Das Hamburger Geschäft zog bald in größere Räume im Barkhof, Spitalerstraße 11.

Seit 1890 war er verheiratet mit Johanna Emma Luise Christine, geb. Linck (1866–1919), einer Tochter des Brauereibesitzers in Rostock Albert Linck (1827–1896). Das Paar hatte drei Töchter und einen Sohn. Nach Wilhelm Sellschopps Tod übernahm der Sohn Rudolf Sellschopp (1903–1992) das Geschäft, das bis heute besteht und sich heute in der Rosenstraße befindet.

Азербайджанська мова () належить до огузької підгрупи тюркської групи алтайської сім'ї мов. Поширена в Азербайджані, Грузії, Ірані, Іраку, Туреччині. Азербайджанською розмовляють близько 23 мільйонів людей.

Азербайджанська мова має 4 діалектні групи: східну, західну, північну, південну. Відмінності діалектів полягають головним чином у фонетиці і лексиці.

Близькоспоріднена з турецькою та кримськотатарською мовами (раніше вважалося, що і азербайджанська, і кримськотатарська є діалектами турецької мови, але сучасні мовознавці так не вважають). Літературна мова розвивається з 13 ст. В основі сучасної літературної мови лежать шемахинський і бакинський діалекти.

Писемність

Писемність до 1929 на основі арабського алфавіту, в 1929-39 на основі латинського алфавіту, з 1939 — на основі кирилиці. У 2001 році Азербайджан остаточно повернувся до вживання латинського алфавіту.

Приклад
«Заповіт» Т. Шевченка азербайджанською мовою (переклав Сулейман Рустам):

Vәsiyyәt

Південноазербайджанська мова
Південноазербайджанською розмовляють в іранському Азербайджані (історичному Азербайджані) і, меншою мірою, в сусідніх регіонах Іраку та Туреччини з меншими громадами в Сирії.

The content of individual sessions is based upon what each person needs, their characterology, unique traits, their struggle and their aspirations. An individual session usually involves some counselling and often some type of working with the body. This could be breathing exercises, focused movement or postures.
Other sessions may involve mindfulness or trauma release exercises. These exercises help to strengthen your life force and build an increased capacity for joy, love and pleasure.
Body Psychotherapy is centred on the philosophy that our body holds the history of our life experiences. Some of our more painful experiences form defence patterns that are held in our body and personality. Reich referred to these physical and emotional patterns as our characterology.
Our behaviour is influenced by our characterology and this is why many people experience the same painful patterns in their life. Patterns such as abandonment, rejection, betrayal, failed relationships, depression and/or anxiety.
By working with the body-mind we are able to gently challenge these defence patterns, creating lasting change, improved emotional well-being and vibrancy. This approach is a process and, just as these defence patterns were created over time, healing also takes time. The author Stephen Johnson referred to this work as the "hard work miracle".
Andrea has witnessed many such miracles throughout the years of her practice. Miracles such as clients creating quality intimate relationships, building wonderful careers, finding their life purpose, and experiencing peace, enjoyment and passion for life.


The origin of this custom has been much disputed. Many theories have been suggested.
What seems certain is that it is in some way or other a relic of those once universal festivities held at the vernal equinox, which, beginning on old New Year's Day, the 25th of March, ended on the 2nd of April.
It has been suggested that Europe derived its April-fooling from the French.France was one of the first nations to make January 1 officially New Year's Day (which was already celebrated by many), by decree of Charles IX. This was in 1564, even before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar (See Julian start of the year). Thus the New Year's gifts and visits of felicitation which had been the feature of the 1st of April became associated with the first day of January, and those who disliked or did not hear about the change were fair game for those wits who amused themselves by sending mock presents and paying calls of pretended ceremony on the 1st of April. French and Dutch references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe April Fools' Day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of April.
Though the 1st of April appears to have been anciently observed in Great Britain as a general festival, it was apparently not until the beginning of the 18th century that the making of April-fools was a common custom.
In Scotland the custom was known as "hunting the gowk," i.e. the cuckoo, and April-fools were "April-gowks," the cuckoo being there, as it is in many countries, a term of contempt.
In France the person fooled is known as poisson d'avril. This has been explained from the association of ideas arising from the fact that in April the sun quits the zodiacal sign of the fish. A far more natural explanation would seem to be that the April fish would be a young fish and therefore easily caught. The French traditionally celebrated this holiday by placing a dead fish on the back of friends. Today the fish is substituted by a paper cut out.
The Dutch celebrate the 1st of April for other reasons. In 1572, the Netherlands were ruled by Spain's King Philip II. Roaming the region were Dutch rebels who called themselves Geuzen, after the French "gueux", meaning beggars. On 1 April, 1572, the Geuzen seized the small coastal town of Den Briel. This event was also the start of the general civil rising against the Spanish in other cities in the Netherlands. The Duke of Alba, commander of the Spanish army could not prevent the uprising. Bril is the Dutch word for glasses, so on 1 April, 1572, "Alba lost his glasses". Dutch people find this joke so hilarious they still commemorate the first of April.
Chaucer's story, the Nun's Priest's Tale, written c.1400, takes place on 32 March; that is, 1 April; it is Chanticleer and the Fox, a story of two fools.


Relocating to China is often cited as one of the biggest life decisions made by international MBA students at CEIBS. Weighing the plethora of opportunities against cultural and language barriers often takes weeks and months. For some however, the luxury of time and in-depth research is never an option – such was the case for MBA 2020 student ambassador Emma Devine.
Emma was working for fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch in Florida when the opportunity arose to pursue an overseas assignment for the company. Having reached the final round of internal interviews, Emma was asked by the hiring panel where should could see herself working.
Other colleagues in the running listed the fashion capitals of the world – Paris, Milan, London etc. – but Emma, priding herself on her ability to overcome cultural hurdles, said she was flexible and open to new challenges. Her phone rang later that evening.
Despite not speaking a word of Mandarin, the pull of a global career coupled with her 'go all in' attitude meant there was only going to be one answer from Emma.
"I remember thinking, even with the possibility of failing, this wasn't an offer I could pass up," she says. Nearly a decade on from that decision and now starting her second term at CEIBS, Emma took time out of her schedule to sit down and share her experience so far.
Read on to discover how she decided between an MBA in Hong Kong and Shanghai, some of the lessons she learnt from her leadership experience in China, and her personal CEIBS highlights so far.
Emma traces her gung-ho attitude towards diving into the deep end of China back to her 'Semester at Sea' experience during college.
"I come from a family that doesn't really value travel. I didn't own a passport until I was 21. When I heard about a program that brought 1000 college students together on a cruise ship that circumnavigated the world, I knew I wanted to join. I lobbied my parents pretty hard to let me go, even dressing up in a business suit and presenting a PPT deck to them on the benefits of the program," she said.
She also added, "they finally agreed and the trip turned out to be a major turning point in my life. One day we would be learning about economic policy in developing countries, for example, and the next we would be docking in China to see the real life implications of these lessons. I returned to my sorority house a completely different person, my world view shifted, and I have been intrigued by the growth of China ever since," she says.
On the flight to China, Emma says her major concern was how her leadership style would translate to a Chinese context. She spent her limited hours researching the concept of face and how to manage in a high context culture.
Ultimately, she would soon discover that reading about best practices in China was simply not enough. The key was making mistakes, learning from them, and going at it again.
"What I had overestimated was how difficult the return leg of the journey would be. The rain started to pour, I couldn't find a taxi, and even when I did manage to flag one down, I had naively assumed that everyone would either know the famous Ascot Hotel or at least speak English.
"It's next to Cartier, you know, by Zegna," I kept repeating, all to no avail.
After two hours, a sympathetic driver finally took pity on me and called a family member who was able to help translate. When I finally got back to the hotel, I walked through the lobby, grabbed a handful of hotel place cards, and then collapsed in my room.
Feeling dejected, soaked, and jetlagged, at least I had completed one day. With a bunch of hotel place cards in my pocket, I had learnt something from my mistake and knew that tomorrow would be slightly easier," she recalls.
Emma's attitude towards overcoming the cultural hurdles she faced acted as a framework to help her grow and excel in the workplace in China. Once she had successfully stabilized the leadership team in Shanghai, Emma moved to Hangzhou with a three-month deadline to find and recruit more than 200 people to run the store.
"Abercrombie & Fitch was the new brand in town, so to find staff we visited university campuses and approached students directly to introduce our recruitment needs," Emma says.
After fulfilling the project with Abercrombie & Fitch, Emma was approached to join Apple in Hong Kong. Inspired by conversations she had with their management team about talent development and change management, she moved into a leadership role at the extremely busy Causeway Bay store.
In her current role as a student ambassador for the MBA program at CEIBS, Emma is often asked to compare Hong Kong and Shanghai both from an MBA perspective and also in regards to their working cultures.
"It's hard for me to pick a favorite as both locations are fast-paced, dynamic, and constantly changing. Life in Hong Kong is easy – lots of healthy food, gyms, and a large expat community," she says.
Since enrolling in August, Emma lists both the classroom experience and the career development support as two standout highlights from her first term on campus.
"I had no idea I would be waking up excited about the prospect of sitting in a data analytics class, but all the classes have been great so far. I also really appreciate that no matter what lecture we are sitting in, the conversation always comes back to discussing how frameworks, concepts, and trends will play out in China. This was really what I was hoping to see when I read about the 'China Depth, Global Breadth' approach at CEIBS," Emma says.
"From a career perspective, my dream company, Alibaba, came to campus in the first month. After the presentation, I was able to approach a vice president, MBA alum, and an HR director about their hiring needs and my background, which was truly an invaluable experience. We're also assigned a career counselor from very early on who helps to arrange workshops on topics such as 'building your personal brand' and 'how to rock your LinkedIn profile'.
Still very much at the start of her CEIBS journey, Emma is acutely aware that when she graduates in 2020, she will be celebrating her ten year anniversary in China. When she reflects on her colorful, rewarding, and challenging journey so far, she can't help but think how different her life would be right now if she had replied 'Paris' during her overseas assignment interview with Abercrombie & Fitch.
Have a life-changing experience at China Europe International Business School!

Q: SWD Signals multiplexing I design a pcb with STM's STM32F4 microcontroller and i'm going to use the SWD interface for programming.
My Question is: Could those pins to shared (after programming) with other signals on pcb? Signals such as led on/off trace, chip's reset trace, etc.

A: Yes it's possible to remap the jtag/swd pins. If you are using the stm half it's:
GPIO_PinRemapConfig(GPIO_Remap_SWJ_Disable, ENABLE);

If not you need to look for the correct registers in the datasheet.
Be careful to implement a fallback scenario to reenable the swd/jtag pins or to use another update mechanism. This to be able to update the software afterwards.
The swd/jtag port is not usable after the remap.

If you are buying a business, getting the right legal help is important as it will be your key to success. Having an effective IP strategy to structure your intellectual property rights properly from the start will make a huge difference in the value of your business. In this regard, talking to the prospective lawyer on how they will help you in the business is the first step you want to take before buying the business. You will need a good lawyer that will handle all things without too many problems. So, here are some aspects covering a lawyer's role in buying a business on the North Shore.
What Services Will The Lawyer Help In Setting Up The Business?
Setting up or buying a business can be time consuming. There's just too much to absorb and learn. In this regard, you will want a lawyer that will offer a cost effective way to assist you in making the right decisions as well as manage the information overload. Will they be able to help you work out the best way to proceed with the business? Will they be willing to help you distinguish the nice form the essential to have legal compliances? Also, are they willing to explain why something is needed and how to implement it? You will need a lawyer that will be willing to do all of this.
Is The Lawyer Going To Be Able To Respond To Your Needs?
You should ask the lawyer's role in buying a business on the North Shore and how they will respond to your regular needs, such as how quickly calls or emails will be responded to. A well run law firm should be able to put you straight to the lawyer. Calls should be pre-arranged when you two are ready and can focus on the needs at hand. Ideally, an effective firm system should give you the names of the team members who will offer help if you ring the office. This is because most of your queries are likely to be within the capability of properly trained staff. If they cannot answer your question, they should be able to set a date where you can meet the lawyer and soon if the matter is urgent.
How Does The Lawyer Invoice For Their Services?
This obviously leads to the most important question you need to know and that is how they charge for the work they will handle on your behalf. The last thing you want when starting or buying a business is surprises that could pull you back. In this regard, you should go for a lawyer that bills on a fixed fee rather than an hourly basis, unless you are engaging in litigation where the law dictates hourly charging. The prospect lawyer should promise to never send you unexpected bills for emails or quick phone calls.
How Will The Lawyer Proactively Communicate With You On An Ongoing Basis?
The unfortunate thing is that most business lawyers do not proactively communicate with clients on an ongoing basis. This is because of the general thinking that legal work is transaction based and clients will call when anything changes. But this is wrong thinking. You should have a lawyer that has processes and systems in place to be able to communicate with you proactively. At the very least, you should communicate with lawyer at least once per month.
In conclusion, talk to a lawyer that understands the niche of business you are purchasing or starting a business. A specialist lawyer in this field will be able to advice you on how to proceed and avoid costly mistakes that will pull your business down. The good thing is with the above questions, you will be able to find a good lawyer who will help you make the best decisions and who will have your long term interests in mind.

Introduced by Ian McEwan
One of the most influential novels of the 20th century, it is both a gripping thriller and an ingenious parable about the nature of civilisation.
This is our island. It's a good island. Until the grown-ups come to fetch us we'll have fun.
Following a plane crash, a group of schoolboys is left marooned on a tropical island. Their initial attempts at co-operation soon founder and, as the veneer of civilisation wears away, their primitive instincts are unleashed, with horrifying consequences. In the 19th-century novel The Coral Island by R. M. Ballantyne, this same scenario - boys on an uninhabited island - was portrayed as a wholesome adventure. In the hands of Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding, it becomes a powerful and disturbing tale of the dark side of human nature.
Bound in printed and blocked cloth
Set in Minion
Frontispiece and 5 colour illustrations
Plain slipcase
9˝ x 5¾˝
A gripping thriller and haunting parable
Golding was a schoolmaster for many years and, as one reviewer observed, knew 'exactly what boys are like'. With their initial faith in 'grown-ups' and their attempts to cling to the familiar class system, the boys are instantly recognisable: Piggy is the voice of reason, whose advice is tragically ignored; Ralph is the egalitarian who tries to enforce order, building shelters and organising rescue signals. His authority is destroyed by Jack, the hunter, whose lust for blood propels the novel towards its brutal climax. The story is made more compelling still by Golding's use of imagery: the conch shell, fragile sign of democracy; Piggy's glasses, symbol of technology, and the Lord of the Flies itself – the terrifying beast that haunts their dreams, and originates from within the boys themselves.
'Beautifully written, tragic and provocative'
E. M. Forster
First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies has been translated into every major language, selling over 25 million copies in English alone. One of the most influential novels of the 20th century, it is both a gripping thriller and an ingenious parable about the nature of civilisation. The preface in this edition is by novelist Ian McEwan and includes a series of arresting illustrations by Sam Weber that perfectly capture the novel's highly charged atmosphere.
'The vivid realism with which he describes the disintegration of their untried and precarious civilisation under the pressure of raw nature carries the reader to the bloody climax'
About Sam Weber
Sam Weber was born in Alaska, and grew up in Deep River, Ontario, Canada. After attending the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Sam moved to New York to pursue illustration and attend graduate school at The School of Visual Arts. His work for The Folio Society includes Lord of the Flies (2009) and Fahrenheit 451 (2011). His illustrations for Dune were painted in oil on board, with the black-and-white chapter headings in ink and charcoal on paper.

bright orange, a horrified woman looking up at the burst from street level shouts the supplication, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God." Wickedness and prayer are united in this taped image, an image that will likely survive as long as America itself.
Other images will also survive. For me, two are indelible.
One shows Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, a man I have known for 23 years, expressing in halting English his sorrow at the bombings before giving blood to help meet America's emergency demands.
Muslims whose human rights I have long sought to advance. But I know the image will not soon be forgotten.
In our country, passions are riding high. War drums are beating. A large majority of Americans urge military reprisal. We seem braced for major changes in our national life.
Who can blame those who react with fury? The lives of nearly 7,000 innocent civilians have been snuffed out. It is a time for both fury and grief. All of us have wiped away tears as we watch distraught men, women and children—many displaying photographs—search through rubble and among rescue workers for any hint that lost loved ones may still be alive.
For others, this is a time of anxiety. On my computer screen e-mail messages keep popping up from acquaintances throughout America, the Middle East and beyond, even China. Many wonder if other acts of terrorism will soon follow.
Muslims are concerned, because there is already a vicious and violent anti-Islamic tide. In a suburb of Washington, DC, angry citizens tear headscarves from Muslim women. In Chicago, police stop an angry mob threatening a mosque. In Texas, bullets are fired at a Muslim center. Muslims go into hiding.
terrorism, unaware that Islam considers both suicide and the injury or killing of innocent people as forms of murder. If the hijackers were professed Muslims, they grossly violated the rules of their religion.
This is also a time for reflection. Today's America is not as beloved as yesterday's. Have we pondered why?
Over recent years, have we listened beyond our borders for cries of pain and anguish? Have we been outraged and bestirred to action when terrible crimes occur against defenseless human beings in foreign lands? Are we attuned to such suffering today?
The past week's horror calls to mind other enormous human tragedies in which American involvement has been prominent.
children, all Arab, mostly Muslim. Even the sharpest Iraqi-American critics of Saddam Hussain plead for an end to the air operations.
How high would our fury rise if air strikes caused our children to die from want of medicine and nutrition?
Of other major, controversial U.S. involvements, the American people seem to know little or nothing.
U.N.-sanctioned place of safety, clearly marked as such on current maps.
But missiles and artillery shells, also gifts from America, hit the encampment, killing nearly 200 women, children and elderly men.
There were cries of anguish, of course, but the cries were not heard by a sorrowing television audience in America. Qana's Ground Zero was a sea of torn bodies and blood. But the outside world hardly noticed.
Still earlier, in 1982, fighter bombers and missiles from America turned much of Beirut and its suburbs into rubble mixed with torn human bodies. According to Robert Fisk, the respected correspondent of the London Independent, who has long resided in Beirut, 17,500 innocent civilians perished in the onslaught. Of course, some say, they were "just Arabs."
If the hijackers were professed Muslims, they grossly violated the rules of their religion.
In Beirut at the time, Ground Zero consisted of most of the city, not just a few blocks. This human agony got little attention beyond the Arab world, least of all in America. To this day, most Americans do not know about America's role in the terrorism that engulfed Beirut civilians. No television cameras roamed through the rubble, no microphones relayed anguished cries to the outside world.
Americans did not pull the triggers, launch the missiles, or guide the fighter-bombers, but, through their government in Washington, they supplied the deadly devices and paid little attention to how they were used. In stark testimony of American indifference, the Beirut dead had hardly been buried before the U.S. Congress sent another gift, a multimillion dollar grant that enabled the warriors to re-supply.
I know. I was a Member of Congress.
California, visited the devastation after an earlier assault in Beirut, outraged Lebanese civilians pointed to shell-casings marked made-in-America and screamed at McCloskey, "Why are you Americans doing this to us?"
In the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, tanks, guns, helicopters, bullets, bombs and bulldozers—all U.S.-donated—have been used for 30 years to bring death, injury, devastation, and humiliation to the Palestinians. As I write, bulldozers from America are rooting Palestinians from their homes, turning their residences into rubble. Helicopter gunships and bullets from America are murdering Palestinians merely on suspicion of fighting back against their occupiers. The rule of law and religious standards are nowhere to be found.
Seldom do cameras and microphones report to the American people the lethal, destructive way these U.S. gifts are used. Somehow, the American people are kept in the dark. Perhaps some Americans don't want to know.
It is ironic that people in almost all other countries are better informed than Americans about the bias in U.S. policies in the Middle East. Perhaps that knowledge leads some of them to fury, white-hot fury.
perhaps the recitation I have provided will help create some understanding of long and deep grievances that can lead oppressed, hopeless people to carry out awful deeds.
There are new questions we must ponder. Can military action remove an underlying grievance? Will punishment of anyone cure the wound—or make it worse?
Have the weapons of war that America keeps supplying in the Middle East been used to crush and humiliate an entire people? Have these gifts now stricken us, in return, with wickedness and awesome cruelty? Has the Lord our God who notes the fall of a sparrow been watching?
The day after the attacks in New York and Washingotn the fires were still smoldering at America's Ground Zero and the Pentagon, when 22 tanks donated by America blasted their way through Jericho, the biblical city of Joshua. The assault left seven Palestinians dead, among them an 11-year-old girl. It was not a modern-day battle of Jericho. It was a one-sided raiding party. Over television, were you able to watch the anguish of the bereaved family and the cries of the wounded? Did they call out, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God"? Did television commentators, overcome with grief, choke back tears as they tried to form words to describe the scene?
Of course not. There were no cameras, no interviewers, no microphones.
The Associated Press reports that after the tanks left Jericho, a cloud of smoke and an orange fireball could be seen above a refugee camp on the edge of town.
Another cloud of smoke, another orange fireball.

What did the newcomers sing at the times of the conquest of South America? What songs were heard in the courts of the governors, and what did servants hum while at work? How did melodies and rhythms, brought from the Iberian Peninsula, merge with local traditions in the New World? We will find out about it during the concert featuring the young and phenomenal Cantoría ensemble.
This vocal quartet from Catalonia perfroms songs from the so-called Spanish golden age, that is from the 17th century, the heyday of art both in Spain and in Spanish-controlled areas of Latin America. As befits an early music ensemble, Cantoría's members try to learn about and adopt historical performance practices as well as possible; above all they focus on the secrets of vocal techniques popular in Spain during the Renaissance. During the concerts, the group with youthful freshness emphasises the theatrical character of the Renaissance Spanish music and brings out its communication value.
Although the singers themselves are very young and have been active with the ensemble for only two years now, they have already become known as promising musicians and were invited to participate in the programme of the International Young Artist's Presentation in Belgium, took residence in the Cité de la Voix in France and became part of the Emerging European Ensembles – Eeemerging 2018 programme. As part of this project supporting ensembles at the start of their careers, Cantoría will perform – and study – during the Latin America Academy in Wrocław.

I am responsible, energetic, and possess excellent communication skills.
public speaking where I work, teaching brain-injured clients life's skills.
My many interests include acting, singing, reading, photography, psy chology, natural sciences, architecture, and nature (the out-of-doors). I enjoy health-giving activities, such as, bicycling, cross-country skiing, weight training, isometrics, and western-style horsemanship, having been partly reared on cattle and sheep ranches from a very early age.
I invite you to peruse my visual-arts and performing-arts resumes which include myriad theater productions in which I have participated both as a performer and scenic artist. I hope that you will consider me as being a strong contender for the job of which I have been invited to submit an application, a job which I think would suit us very well in light of my skills, talents, education; my experience as a teacher and as an artist, and because of my interest in the live theater.

U.S. House Transportation Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio announces retirement
Longtime Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio won't seek reelection (Image source: Oregon State University/Wikimedia Commons)
DeFazio has held a seat in the House of Representatives from Oregon for over 30 years

Peter DeFazio has been a United States House of Representatives member for more than 30 years. A Democrat, he represents the 4th District of Oregon, including Eugene and Corvallis.
Since 2019, DeFazio has been the chairman of the United States House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. As such, DeFazio was a crucial player in the passage of the massive Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. He's also openly had a difference of opinion with the committee's ranking member, Republican Sam Graves of Missouri. However, Politico notes that the two get along quite well personally.
But DeFazio's remaining time as chairman seems to be limited.
Announces that he will not seek re-election in 2022
According to The Register-Guard, Peter DeFazio is not planning to seek another term in the U.S. House of Representatives. His leaving is another cause for stress for Democrats. For many reasons, the party is favored to lose its House majority during the 2022 midterm elections.
DeFazio's directly House-related career began as a U.S. Representative Jim Weaver staffer. Later, he was elected to the Board of Commissioners of Lane County, Oregon. Eventually, he became chairman of the board of commissioners.
In 1986, Weaver did not run for re-election to the House of Representatives. Instead, he ran for the United States Senate, initially successfully capturing the Democratic nomination.
However, Weaver would withdraw from the race, plagued by campaign finance scandals. Emerging amidst all of that, DeFazio won the race for Weaver's House seat.
DeFazio has been re-elected to the House 17 times since then. He's also been mentioned as a potential candidate for the U.S. Senate. Though he only officially runs for the Senate on one occasion.
After Republican Senator and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Bob Packwood resigned in 1995, DeFazio sought the Democratic nomination for the ensuing special election. He lost the nomination to fellow U.S. Representative Ron Wyden. Wyden has since himself become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Energy Committee.
Is a military veteran
Peter DeFazio was born in Needham, Massachusetts, near Boston. On the same day that DeFazio announced he was stepping aside, so did another noted politician from Needham. That being Republican Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. Their fellow Needham native, Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, won re-election a few weeks earlier.
DeFazio would serve as an officer in the United States Air Force. He also graduated from Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Oregon.

With the UK currently spending more than £2.5 billion on permanent external recruitment each year, yourpeoplemarket.com, an online marketplace linking recruitment companies with employers, is transforming the way recruiters win business.
After registering as a recruiter on yourpeoplemarket.com, companies can view current vacancies posted by employers across all sectors. Uniquely, employers indicate the fixed fee they are prepared to pay for each vacancy, but recruiters with suitable candidates they're itching to place have the opportunity to bid lower than that set rate to gain a competitive advantage.
All registered recruiters are vetted, giving employers confidence in the quality of organisations that approach them with candidates. After every engagement the employer rates the recruiter – the better the rating, the better the company's profile and the more success it will have within the marketplace in future.
yourpeoplemarket.com has no upfront costs and is completely self billing, acting as a clearing house to ease the administrative burden such that recruiters don't even need to raise an invoice.
The system is now open for registration at www.yourpeoplemarket.com, with live job bidding commencing on 5th April 2010. For each registration before 5th April, yourpeoplemarket.com will donate £1.00 to Make-A-Wish Foundation UK.
