Ottawa – The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group (ICLMG) welcomes the news of the release of Canadian citizen Salim Alaradi by a United Arab Emirate court. After spending almost 22 months in prison suffering from solitary confinement, torture and numerous health issues, Salim Alaradi can be finally reunited with his family.
"The release of Salim Alaradi is an excellent news to his family and to all his friends and supporters who campaigned tirelessly to obtain it. Since the beginning of this horrible ordeal, ICLMG along with other civil liberties groups called upon the Canadian government to ensure that the rights of Canadian citizen Salim Alaradi are protected, mainly his right to due process," said Monia Mazigh, National coordinator of ICLMG.
Recently, 30 Canadian and international lawyers wrote to the Emirati President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan calling for the release of Salim Alaradi and the American nationals co-accused in his trial, Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat.
"The public and private pressures that have been exerted at different levels and from different governments on the Emirati government is evidence that pressure has clearly worked and that keeping quiet is not an option. The Canadian government should use all sorts of pressures in its power to obtain the release of Canadians detained abroad for political motives," insisted Monia Mazigh.

In societies like the American and West European where the dynamics of energy come from freedom and where the climate and the whole ethos are those of freedom, censorship is bound to be at worst, stupid; at best, futile; and always, to some degree, inconsonant with the character of the society as a whole.
The Seven Deadly Sins of the Press: - Concentrated Power of the Big Press. - Passing of competition and the coming of monopoly. - Governmental control of the press. - Timidity, especially in the face of group and corporate pressures. - Big Business mentality. - Clannishness among the newspaper publishers that has prevented them from criticizing each other. - Social blindness.

Derbi barceloní
The derbi barceloní (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈdɛɾβi βəɾsəluˈni]; Spanish: Derbi barcelonés, IPA: [ˈdeɾβi βaɾθeloˈnes]; "Barcelonian Derby"), is the name given to football matches between FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol. Both clubs are located in the Barcelona metropolitan area, Spain.[2]

RivalryEdit
In the first half of the 20th century during the Miguel Primo de Rivera dictatorship (1923–1930), FC Barcelona was the embodiment of the oppressed Catalan sentiment, in starrk contrast to RCD Espanyol which cultivated a kind of compliance to the central authority.[3]
In 1918, the municipalities of Catalonia promoted a campaign to request the Spanish Government a Statute of Autonomy. FC Barcelona joined that request and the Catalan press explained it by saying "FC Barcelona has become the club of Catalonia". The other team of the city, RCD Espanyol were dissociated from the claim.
On numerous occasions RCD Espanyol have complained of an unfavorable treatment which is sometimes directly offensive according to them, towards the club in favor of FC Barcelona by some public media dependent on the Generalitat of Catalonia like TV3.[4][5][6]
Despite these differences in ideology, the derbi has always been more relevant to Espanyol supporters than Barcelona ones due to the difference in objectives.
Background and historyEdit
Though it is the most played local derby in the history of La Liga, it is also the most unbalanced, with Barcelona overwhelmingly dominant. In the league table, Espanyol has only managed to finish above Barça on three occasions in almost 70 years and the only all-Catalan Copa del Rey final was won by Barça in 1957. Espanyol has the consolation of achieving the largest margin win with a 6–0 in 1951.
On 8 June 2007, Espanyol achieved a 2-2 draw against Barça in the penultimate day of the championship, making it possible for Real Madrid to win the 2006–07 La Liga in the next match at the Bernabeu. This match is popularly remembered with the name of Tamudazo, for Raúl Tamudo, the Espanyol player who scored the goal for the draw.[7] Espanyol achieved a 2–1 win against Barça during 2008–09, becoming the first team to defeat Barcelona at Camp Nou in their treble-winning season.[8]
Espanyol moved to their new RCDE Stadium in 2009, but it was not until their tenth meeting with Barcelona at their new arena that they were able to win a derby fixture (three draws, six defeats), winning 1–0 in the 2017–18 Copa del Rey quarter-final, first leg on 17 January 2018.[9] However, Barcelona overturned this 2–0 at the Camp Nou the following week to go through in the tie,[10] the tenth time in succession (since 1961) that Barça had progressed in the domestic cup.
As of 2019, Barça's Lionel Messi has scored 25 goals against Espanyol, the most in the history of the derby.[1][2][11]

Severe storm risks: colors and categories
by: Kristen Currie
With 2020's first severe weather event set to unfold on Friday, it's a good time to review the language and colors used to identify the risks.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma issues outlooks for Day 1 ("today"), 2 ("tomorrow"), 3 ("next day") and 4-8 ("extended forecast") based on the probability of severe weather. These outlooks outline areas of organized thunderstorm activity – both non-severe and severe – across the contiguous U.S.
NUMBER / CATEGORY / CODE
Areas with potential to see severe weather on a given day are given a number, category and code to indicate the level of risk. The risk takes into consideration both forecast intensity and coverage of thunderstorm activity.
Categories, labels and colors of severe weather risks
DAY ONE OUTLOOKS
An outlook issued for day 1 (or the current day) breaks down the individual probabilities of three primary threats: tornadoes, wind and hail. The probability (left column) represents the chance of severe weather occurring withing 25 miles of any point. Day one outlooks are issued at 12AM, 7AM, 10:30AM, 2PM and 7PM daily.
DAY ONE Probability (%) to Category (Label/Color) Conversion
DAY 2 and DAY 3 OUTLOOKS
The outlooks for day 2 and 3 (next day and the day after from date of issue) combine the probability of all three types of severe weather (tornadoes, wind and hail). Day 2 outlooks are issued at 1AM and 11:30AM daily. Day 3 outlooks are issued at 2:30AM daily.
DAY 2 Probability (%) to Category (Label/Color) Conversion
"SIGNIFICANT" RISK
Particular events can have a "significant" risk meaning a 10% or higher probability of one or all of the following threats:
— EF2 tornadoes or stronger
— 75mph wind gusts or stronger
— Hail 2″ in diameter or greater
This can be indicated by black hatch marks over the colored probability.
EXAMPLE: black hatch marks indicate 'significant' risk of EF2 tornadoes, +75mph gusts and/or hail +2″ in diameter
DAY 4-8 OUTLOOKS
The day 4-8 outlooks (four to eight days from date of issue) indicate the probability of severe weather – combining all threats (tornadoes, wind and hail) – both as individual days and other the 4-day period as a whole. The day 4-8 outlooks are issued at 4:00AM daily. Two probability thresholds are used — 15% and 30% — and are equivalent to a slight risk (yellow) and enhanced risk (orange) respectively, on the Day 1-3 outlooks.
If the risk of severe weather is <15%, two phrases will be used:
— "Predictability too low": severe storms still possible but too much uncertainty on when/where and if the risk is still viable
— "Potential too low": 15% risk of severe weather is highly unlikely on that given day
EXAMPLE: Day 4-8 severe weather outlook
NOTE: It's important to note that the severe weather does not follow the lines. It's certainly possible to see an EF2 tornado in a slight risk… or pea-sized hail in an enhanced risk. The purpose of the outlooks is to highlight areas where the atmosphere has "all the right ingredients" for severe weather to occur on a particular day.

Scattered Showers 30%	78°	53°

Norfolk Island Holidays
Norfolk Island Overview
Island History
Norfolk Island's Plants & Animals
Wherever you go on Norfolk Island you are surrounded by a rich natural environment unlike what you may be used to in city or suburban settings. The island is home to some interesting plant life and is renowned for its bird population and livestock. There are no creepy crawlies, no snakes, fruit flies or sand flies. The cows and horses are descended from generations of beasts which roam the island uninterrupted, except for their annual drenching and vet inspection. For the remainder of the year they are left to wander the island and are protected from traffic with laws giving them right of way. There are also a huge number of native and exotic bird species found all over the island including White Terns, Sooty Terns, Shearwaters, Kingfishers, Crimson Rosellas, White-faced Herons, Australian Kestrals, Hummingbirds, Swallows, Fantails, Emerald Doves, Quails, Green Parrots and more.
The graceful White Terns are known on Norfolk as 'Fairy Terns' and are completely snow white except for their black feet, eyes and bills. They also have translucent wings and leave the island in May for several months at sea. However from August 1st, the valley between Bumboras and Shearwater villas is ablaze with these birds as mating season begins. Sooty Terns are less abundant and are mostly found on the offshore islands but return to Norfolk in August. Their name comes from their unique colouring, with a blackened back and a white underside.
Wedge-tailed Shearwaters arrive on Norfolk in the hundreds mid-October and stay until April or May. Travelling as much as 300km daily to return to the island, they get their name from their habit of flying just 3 or 4 metres above the sea. Kingfishers inhabit the island year round and are identified by their blue wings, green backs and white yoke. Crimson Rosellas are gloriously coloured birds and travel in noisy flocks throughout the island. Nesting in tree hollows, the Rosellas rival Norfolk's indigenous Green Parrot which has only recently been saved from extinction. This rare bird as slowly increased in numbers from just 20 to over 100.
White-faced Herons are graceful birds present year round and known for their long legs. The Australian Kestral has settled on Norfolk Island despite its name and can be found hovering around the coast spectacularly plummeting on its prey. The Hummingbird is Norfolk's smallest bird but has one of the biggest populations. Constantly darting about, the Hummingbird eats insects and spiders. The Welcome Swallow can be identified by its forked tail and rosy breast and is seen from March to October in large flocks. The Grey Fantail is a cheeky bird that buzzes visitors inquisitively and is renowned for its aerial aerobatics.
The Masked Booby, also known as a Gannet, is a large sea bird with a striking yellow face mask, white body, black tail and black and white upper wing. They can be found during August to February wheeling around the cliffs. The California Quail is easily recognised by its black curly top-knot and amusingly prefers to walk or run rather than fly. The unique Emerald Dove is iridescent green and can be found pottering the forest floor year round. If you're lucky enough to be visiting between October and May, you might see one of the world's most striking birds, the Re-tailed Tropic Bird. A large seabird, it features snowy plumage, a rose breast, black bordered wings and two long bright red quills which trail behind it. From September to March, Whimbrels, Ruddy Turnstones and Godwits visit the rock pools of Slaughter and Cresswell Bays all the way from Siberia and Alaska.
Norfolk Island is renowned for its Pine trees, in fact these magnificent trees have become the emblem for the island and even feature on its flag. Growing up to 60m tall, Captain Cook described the girth of these Pines as 'more than can be encircled by six men with arms outstretched'. Renowned for their hardiness, the Pines are tolerant of salt and are now prominent on beachfronts worldwide. Even if you're not normally a green thumb, you should still make time to visit the Norfolk Island Botanical Garden, at the top of Grassy Road on Mission Road. Here there are 260m of graded tracks which zig zag through a beautiful native vine forest. You can also pick up a brochure outlining some of the more interesting specimens which you can spot on many of the wonderful nature walks across the island.

Hi everyone, it's Bryan from Geezer Crafter with you today, and I'd like to share with you my collage using one of the new sets of Hot Picks stamps, some of the new Fresco Paint range, and a stencil by Sara Naumann.
My collage came to life from this stamp. I was rearranging the letters to make a new word.
I like incorporating parchment within my collages as a different texture.
Loved how the Versafine Smokey Grey inked through Sara Naumann stencil 090 resisted some of the layer of Fresco Chalk Paint Mustard Pickle.
Very pleased how the crushed matchboxes added interest and texture to my collage. Tissue paper glued and sealed with Ranger Multi Medium Matte worked for me.
Love the combination of Surf's Up and Mustard Pickle.
Love the target stamp!!. Addition of 'do' aided by the use of a Uniball Signo Gel Pen.
I was going to use the 'flower' part of this stamp, but I do also like using the negative spaces left behind when cutting out elements. So I went with that.
I really enjoyed working with matchboxes, love the effect of them being crushed!! I am looking forward to seeing some 'alternative' match box art. Next time I must remember to add the interest of stencils within my art. Really enjoyed using parts of stamps and cutting up stamped images.
A very cool, grungy piece of machinery, taking the eye on a great journey from crushed matchbox to crushed matchbox - clever!
Very cool as always Bryan !
Great use of parts of the stamps and love the fun idea of crushing the matchboxes. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration x.
Brilliant Bryan. Can always trust you to create something awesome and different!

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor houses dined in the Great Hall. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had large chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free flow of air through the numerous door and window openings.
It is true that the owners of such properties began to develop a taste for more intimate gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due as much to political and social changes as to the greater comfort afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14th Century caused a shortage of labour and this had led to a breakdown in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions following the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to talk freely in front of large numbers of people.
Over time, the nobility took more of their meals in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was split into two separate rooms). It also migrated farther from the Great Hall, often accessed via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually dining in the Great Hall became something that was done primarily on special occasions.
Toward the beginning of the 18th Century, a pattern emerged where the ladies of the house would withdraw after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining room having drinks. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result.
A room of such significance demands majesty, adorn your dining room today with elaborate decorative table legs.
Please feel free to contact our office to discuss custom sizes and timber species that you may require. We can machine legs to order for you; however there are costs involved for this service.

but , while compiling i get the error [CodeBlocks Build Log]:
F:\Projects\c++\TextEditor\texteditor.cpp: In function 'int main()':
F:\Projects\c++\TextEditor\texteditor.cpp:14: error: 'edit' was not declared in this scope
F:\Projects\c++\TextEditor\texteditor.cpp:18: error: 'open' was not declared in this scope

A: Your main function can't see the edit and open functions because they appears after main. You can fix this by either:
1) Moving the edit and open functions above main; or
2) Adding a prototype of edit and open above main. Add this line of code before main, but after using namespace std:
void edit();
void open();

A: C++ compiler is a one pass compiler. Which means it reads from top to bottom and translates your code. If you are using a function (or any other symbol), the compiler should know about it before it reaches it.
Now you have two options, either put main under edit and open, or write a so-called forward declaration:
void edit();
void open();

That is basically the function you have without its body. Note that this kind of things are what is put in .h files (headers) when you have multiple source files.

A: You need to declare symbols (functions, variables, etc.) before you use them.  To fix your problem, forward declare your functions.
#include <...>
using namespace std;

void edit();
void open();

int main ()
{
    // ...
}

void open ()
{
    // ...
}

void edit ()
{

The Dad's Army guide to defending Britain
Thanks to the famous BBC series, which has inspired a new comedy film, the image of 'Dad's Army' as a group of bumbling misfits has been burned into the British consciousness. Yet, in reality, the Home Guard was a tough, dynamic fighting force. Leo McKinstry reveals five ways in which it readied itself to repel a Nazi invasion
Recruit young, athletic men
Far from being a laughable, marginalised organisation, the Home Guard actually reflected the public mood of resolute defiance against Nazi Germany.
On 14 May 1940, when the war secretary Anthony Eden broadcast his call for men to join the new force, initially known as the Local Defence Volunteers, the response was overwhelming. Within seven days, 250,000 men had registered. By the end of July, the total had climbed to 1,456,000.
Contrary to the Dad's Army myth (which has it that recruitment was dominated by elderly men like Corporal Jones, below), half of the volunteers were under 27. Most of these men were barred from military service, not because of unfitness, but because they were in reserved occupations vital to the war effort, like mining, farming or civil administration.

The Home Guard's primary task in 1940 would have been to act as a secondary line of defence against German landings from the air or by sea along the southern and eastern coasts. Other duties, like guarding installations or enforcing curfews, were not without some comic moments. It's said that one Home Guardsman, having spied an amorous couple in a car that was illegally parked in a military zone on the Kent coast, rapped on the driver's side door. The driver enquired what the problem was."You've entered a prohibited area."
"Oh no he hasn't," said a female voice from the passenger's seat.
But there is no doubt that the Home Guard could have been a powerful obstacle to invaders. "They would never have had an inch they wouldn't have had to fight over," recalled Jimmy Taylor, a bicycle despatch rider from Hampshire. That determination was reflected in casualties. During the war, 438 Home Guardsmen were killed by enemy action or died of their wounds (mostly following air raids). A further 768 died from causes attributable to their service.
Arm yourselves to the teeth
The depiction of the Home Guard as a pitchfork army has long been cemented in the public imagination. It is true that, when the force was first established in May 1940, there was a disturbing shortage of arms – so much so that LDV (as the guard was initially called) was jokingly said to stand for 'Last Desperate Venture'.
At first, the volunteers had to make do with a bewildering variety of weaponry, including muskets, swords, blunderbusses, truncheons and even golf clubs. One Lancashire Unit was armed with Snider-Enfield rifles that had been held in Manchester Zoo and had last been used in the Indian empire during the 19th century.
But the picture changed rapidly, thanks to the massive import of arms from North America. In June, 75,000 Ross rifles and 60 million rounds of ammunition arrived from Canada. Even better, in July the USA sent 615,000 M1917 rifles, each with 250 rounds of ammunition.

Podcast: Soviet science and feeding Britain at war
President Roosevelt got round America's strict neutrality laws by, first, declaring the vast arsenal surplus to his country's own requirements and, second, by selling it to the US Steel Corporation, who then sold it on to the British government.
Historians have often been dismissive of these American arms supplies. "Poor weapons," is the verdict of Sir Max Hastings. But much of this negativity was unjustified. The M1917 was no older or less efficient than the standard-issue British infantry weapon, the Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE), whose origins dated back to 1907. In fact, the M1917 was so durable that it went on to see action in the Korean and even Vietnam wars. Sniper instructor Clifford Shore later described it as "probably the most accurate rifle I have ever used".
Create a radical people's army
The Home Guard's supposed association with class-ridden, traditional conservatism is embodied in the authoritarian, snobbish form of Captain Mainwaring. Yet there was another side to its politics.
During the 1930s, as totalitarianism swept across Europe, and Spain was plunged into civil war, there were elements of the radical British left that saw a mass volunteer force as a vehicle for extending democracy and challenging the old order. One enthusiast for this concept was George Orwell, who joined the Home Guard in June 1940. "That rifle on the wall of the working-class flat or the labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy," Orwell wrote in the Evening Standard.
An even more powerful advocate of such thinking was the journalist, military expert and First World War veteran Tom Wintringham. A former communist who had been expelled from the party because of his turbulent private life, he wrote a bestselling pamphlet in 1939 which set out the case for a people's militia to provide home defence. "This army of free men available for service at a few hours' notice is part of a tradition of the peoples of these islands," he said.
After the formation of the Home Guard, Wintringham put his efforts into improving the training of the volunteers. His belief was that far too much emphasis was placed on basic drill, and not enough on skills such as the uses of camouflage, dugouts, explosives grenades and mortars.
One hundred years of voluntary service (subscription)
12 facts about Pearl Harbor
With the help of some influential friends in the media, Wintringham acquired Osterley Park, the residence of the Earl of Jersey, as a new training base. But the government, suspicious of "any possible Bolshevism", disapproved of this initiative despite its success and in September 1940 it was closed down, with the army taking over Home Guard training.
Despite this, the anti-establishment mood certainly lived on among recruits, reflected in Labour's landslide in the 1945 general election. "There are those who say the idea of arming the people is a revolutionary idea. It certainly is," wrote Wintringham.
Train elite troops to fight dirty
The bungling ineptitude of the platoon led by Captain Mainwaring (below) in Dad's Army could not be further removed from the ruthlessness shown by the Auxiliary Units, the elite wing of the Home Guard that would have carried out a guerrilla campaign against the Germans in the event of an invasion. Sometimes known as 'Churchill's Secret Army', the units were the brainchild of two men: Peter Fleming, a military intelligence officer and elder brother of the James Bond novelist Ian Fleming, who started recruiting for an embryonic resistance in Kent from April 1940; and Brigadier Colin Gubbins, whose involvement in the campaign against the IRA from 1919–21 provided him with valuable insights about underground warfare.
For organisational purposes, the coast of England was divided into 12 sectors, each with its own network of Auxiliary Units. Most of the recruits were tough, self-reliant men with a deep knowledge of their localities. Gubbins – who was appointed leader of the units when they were given the green light in June 1940 – later said that, in Lincolnshire, he "sought out fenmen who knew every foot of their marshes and tricky fens", while in Hampshire he looked for forest rangers who moved across the land "as silently and swiftly as their own red deer".

6 Battle of Britain myths
Each unit had its own operational base, usually a well-concealed underground hideout, which contained sleeping accommodation, washing facilities, food store and water tanks, as well as an impressive arsenal of weapons, explosives, knives and sabotage equipment. Indeed, with their own Colt automatic pistols and Tommy sub-machine guns, the units were far better armed than most of the regular army. They were also trained in everything from night patrols to physical combat, including eye gouging and mouth slitting. "Foul methods help you kill quickly," was one of the mottos of the courses.
At their peak in late 1941, the Auxiliaries comprised 3,500 men in 600 patrols, and the force was not formally disbanded until the autumn of 1944.
Become a "miracle of improvisation"
As befitted a bank manager, Captain Mainwaring was devoted to the bureaucracy and rules of the Home Guard. But in reality there was a far more innovative, creative spirit about the organisation. That was reflected not only in how quickly more than 500,000 men were armed and put in uniform but also how efficiently it was administered. An analysis conducted in November 1944 found that the average annual cost to the Treasury of each member of the Home Guard was, incredibly, just £9.
In a departure from traditionalism, from 1942 women were recruited into the Home Guard in small numbers, though only in non-combatant, non-guarding duties like cooking and driving. Originality could also be seen in the grenades and bombs provided to the Home Guard in 1940, when the shortages of munitions were at their worst. The most primitive of these was the Molotov cocktail, essentially a glass bottle full of petrol with a fuel-soaked rag as the source of ignition. A technical advance on the Molotov cocktail was the self-igniting phosphorous grenade or AW Bomb, which comprised a half pint bottle filled with a highly combustible mixture of yellow phosphorous, benzene, crude rubber and water. By August 1941, 6 million of these bombs had been made, nearly all of them going to the Home Guard.
Even more sophisticated was the Anti-Tank No 74 Grenade, known as 'the sticky bomb', which featured nitroglycerine encased in a metal sphere. Although crude, it could penetrate armour an inch thick. Altogether 2.5 million of them were made between 1940 and 1943.
Other enterprising developments include the Northover Projector (a form of primitive grenade launcher) and the Blacker Bombard (an anti-tank mortar), as well as an array of static roadside flame traps, flame fougasses (burning barrels of oil fired at the enemy), and mobile flamethrowers, all of which exploited Britain's huge reserves of petrol in 1940. Not for nothing did Anthony Eden describe the Home Guard as "a miracle of improvisation".
Leo McKinstry is a journalist and author. His books include Operation Sealion: How Britain Crushed the German War Machine's Dreams of Invasion in 1940 (John Murray, 2014).

A few of my all-time favorite posts that I've written, Geography, Nistrenia
The Odessa Tales, Pt. 2
Posted by Sam Cel Roman on November 22, 2015 November 27, 2017
Well folks, it's been an interesting week. A few simple comments about Odessa led to a lot of exploration and research, and so I thank everyone who contributed because it really gave me the impetus to learn a lot more about Romania during World War 2, a subject I had previously avoided because it was so ugly. I got some rather trenchant rebuttals from a commenter named Rodeo, and I will address those point by point below.
But first, it's essential to explain a few phrases and terms for readers who aren't experts on Romanian history and geography:
KOR – The Kingdom of Romania, essentially the land that is Wallachia and Romanian (Western) Moldova today. These lands are part of modern Romania today.
Transylvania – This is a region of modern Romania today, but for simplicity's sake I am going to use the term Transylvania to also mean Maramures, Crisana, and Banat (also part of Romania today).
Moldova – In this post, Moldova refers to the western lands that once formed the Principality of Moldova, and all this territory is now part of Romania today.
Bessarabia – When I use this term, I am referring to approximately the same land that is now the Republic of Moldova (the county where I live).
Bukovina – Here I am referring to the land that is now part of Ukraine, but was historically Romanian, centered around the city of Cernauti. Technically this is northern Bukovina, as southern Bukovina (the area around Suceava) is part of Romania.
Transnistria – Today this term refers to a country that doesn't officially exist. Historically, however it means "beyond" (Trans) the Dniester (Nistru) River, commonly called the "left bank" of the Dniester River because it runs from north to south (like the Nile River in Egypt). The boundaries of what constitutes Transnistria have fluctuated wildly throughout history, but today's Transnistria is the smallest iteration.
Revolution to World War
Prior to WW2, all of Europe was in flux. Today, it seems like the only history worth studying is WW2, with perhaps a lesser focus on WW1, but there were several significant events in the past 150 years that shaped the continent. This is not the forum for going into these events in detail, but I've added a link to articles I've written on these subjects.
Effectively, all of continental Europe had a revolution in 1848. All of the repressed minorities (including Romanians) rose up, in one way or another, and challenged the old order. In some cases, foreign kings were replaced by local rulers. Much of the homegrown literature, orthography (Romania, for instance, switched from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet), and poetry began flowering as a result of the events of 1848. In Romania, the future national anthem was written, and half the people on the currency (money) today were directly or indirectly related to what happened in 1848.
Further reading: Szabadság, or The Ballad of Bem Joszef.
Key results: the Kingdom of Transylvania remained a separate entity from the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Russians and Romanians become strong allies. Szeklers got even crazier.
The Crimean War, essentially a proxy struggle between Russia and the Turkish Ottoman Empire, leads to a key treaty (The Treaty of Paris), with various continental powers pledging eternal allegiance and mutual defense. Russia captures and fortifies the Crimean Peninsula as a key naval stronghold. Romania is not a combatant.
Further reading: The Battle of Tiraspol.
Key results: Thanks to Turkey becoming weakened, Wallachia and Moldova emerge from being vassal Ottoman states to de facto independent countries.
One of Romania's smartest leaders ever, Alexandru Ioan "AI" Cuza, becomes leader of Moldova, and then manages to convince the nobles in Wallachia to also choose him, uniting the two in 1862 to form the "United Principalities of Moldova and Wallachia", effectively the first iteration of Romania as a united country.
Cuza is sacked and Carol I is proclaimed the first king of Romania.
The Russian and Ottoman Empires slug it out again, this time directly. Whereas Russia "lost" the Crimean War, this time Russia scores significant wins and is vastly strengthened in the region. KOR troops fight on the side of Russia during the war.
Key results: KOR is formally recognized as independent country. Romania signs agreement to give Bessarabia to Russia in exchange for southern Dobruja (Dobrogea).
After an assassination in Sarajevo, all of Europe is plunged into war. KOR is allied with the Russians until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Various new alliances are pledged, broken, and forged.
Further reading: Die Stadt Bukarest ist von meinen Truppen besetzt (Romania during the war, and how a forgotten Russian general and American diplomat saved the country) and The Curious Case of the 100 Thousand (what actually happened on December 1, 1918).
Key Results: KOR is nearly wiped out, and only survives because the war ends on the Western Front with a German defeat. KOR then becomes resurgent, declaring union with Bukovina, and Transylvania. Romania effectively forces* Bessarabian parliament to vote to join KOR, which severely angers new Soviet government.
* – This is a contentious issue that I haven't written about yet, but is worthy of a full article in the future. To say that Bessarabia willingly joined KOR is an extreme understatement.
The victorious allies carve up Europe like a pie with a series of treaties written in fancy palaces (apparently this was not done ironically).
Further reading: The Secret History of Advertising.
Key Results: Thanks to hiring the right PR firm, KOR is now double in size, and officially includes Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia. KOR is at the largest size that it will ever be.
World War 2 and Odessa
At long last, we're now caught up on the more recent past of what exactly happened in Romania, and Odessa, during World War 2. Besides all of the usual sources (encyclopedias, history books, etc), I also got a lot of information from a book (English translation) written by Raoul V. Bossy, a Romanian diplomat from 1918 to 1969. And for every last solitary detail concerning Odessa, I must recommend this outstanding history (PDF in Romanian language) of the Romanian occupation of Odessa.
To help understand what happened, let's review a little timeline to help keep things straight:
December 28, 1925 – King Carol II of Romania renounces throne in favor of his son Mihai after the scandal of Carol taking a Jewish lover becomes widespread knowledge.
June 7, 1930 – Carol II "undoes" his renunciation, and reclaims the throne after a coup d'etat executed with much help from Iuliu Maniu (currently a national hero in Romania).
February 10, 1938 – King Carol II declares martial law and forms "royal dictatorship".
August 23, 1939 – Soviet Union and Germany sign non-aggression pact with secret protocols awarding Bessarabia to the Soviets.
September 1, 1939 – Germany invades (western) Poland.
September 3, 1939 – Britain and France declare war against Germany.
September 17, 1939 – Soviet Union invades (eastern) Poland.
September 21, 1939 – Soviet Union and Germany sign agreement coordinating the division of Poland.
September 28, 1939 – Soviet Union and Germany sign Friendship Treaty, further demarcating zones of influence in Eastern Europe.
September 5, 1940 – King Carol II transfers most his dictatorial powers to "Marshal" Ion Antonescu, the fascist Prime Minister of Romania.

Champions of Democracy
Note: in a supreme act of irony, after the November 2015 fire that led to the resignation of PM Victor Ponta, ex-king Mihai published an open letter effectively congratulating himself for being a champion of democracy because he ousted the Iron Guard back in 1944. Fucking surreal.
Whew! Now we can finally address the comments on the blog about Odessa. I'm roughly paraphrasing for simplicity's sake:
Romania had nothing to do with the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement of 1939
Literally, yes this is true. I implied otherwise for simplicity's sake, but I really did simplify things too much. As you can see above, Nazi Germany and Stalin (Soviet Union) came to a kind of "gentleman's agreement" on Bessarabia (Bukovina wasn't even mentioned), which was a secret at the time. The Russians clearly wanted Bessarabia back, and the Germans didn't care so Hitler effectively said, "You want it? You can have it!".
The real question is what, if anything, the Romanians knew about this at the time. Despite all my reading and research, I can't find anything about it. The Romanians and Russians had been on the outs since 1920, so I doubt anyone from Stalin's side leaked anything to the Romanians. And, although fascist Romania was rapidly aligning itself with fascist Germany in this period, there is plenty of evidence that the Germans disdained and largely ignored Romania, so it's probably fair to say that I misrepresented the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement. In other words, Romania had no ***king clue what Germany and the Soviet Union had in mind for Bessarabia on August 23, 1939.
Romania never had territorial designs on Odessa, and to think so is childish!
Thanks for the insult, but no. Taking Odessa was definitely not the original plan. As Raoul Bossy's book makes abundantly clear, the Romanian government during the early years of WW2 was in a real bind. On one hand, they were definitely anti-Soviet and pro-fascist Germany. But it was their allies (Germany and Italy) who had given all of Transylvania back to the Hungarians. Germany, in effect, became the "parent" of two quarreling "children", giving Transylvania to Hungary to appease that side, and then kept pushing an eastward expansion in Bessarabia as a kind of "compensation" to Romania for losing Transylvania.
Let me be clear – nobody in the Romanian government originally wanted to push past the boundaries of Bessarabia, as Odessa and the area towards the Bug River were not, and had never been, majority ethnic Romanian/Moldovan lands. What the Romanian government really wanted was Transylvania back. But, given the way the war went, Romania went ahead and took over Odessa (and the region) anyway, making Odessa the capital of Transnistria, which was ruled by a Romanian governor. It's true that Romania never formally annexed Transnistria, but it looks to me (and several prominent historians) like it would've eventually happened had not the vast majority of the Romanian Army been called up to invade the Soviet Union.
So, as I wrote in my piece Fury Unleashed, Romania fucked up literally everything in World War 2. They lost Transylvania to their allies. The Romanian government hated Jews, tried to exterminate them, but then realized that their economy couldn't survive without them. The Romanian government was pro-Germany even though Germany mistreated Romania badly (causing widespread inflation and deficits due to the German policy of not paying for Romanian goods during the war). They were foolishly anti-Russian due to 20 years of stupidity and greed over wanting Bessarabia. And then Romanian troops got used as cannon fodder in the Battle of Stalingrad, losing more men than all of the other German allies combined.
And then the "savior" king Mihai ended up being a Soviet pawn until domestic Communists took over. Meanwhile even more Romanian troops died as the Soviets used them as cannon fodder to mop up resistance in Hungary and onwards westward to Germany. At the end of the war, Romania was devastated, the economy in ruins, hundreds of thousands of people killed for nothing, and (southern) Dobruja and Bessarabia were lost forever.
And, as a final insult, the Soviet Union also snatched away (southern) Bukovina, which had never been a Russian area of interest and was, on the contrary, a majority-Romanian area. It wasn't even mentioned in the original Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement. So why did the Soviets suddenly decide they wanted Cernauti halfway through the war?
The answer lies with a very cunning Communist leader in Ukraine, a man by the name of Nikita Kruschev. It was Kruschev who convinced Stalin that Cernauti had historically been part of Ukraine (not true). And it was in 1954, when Kruschev was the leader of the Soviet Union, that he transferred Crimea to Ukraine, a move that led to disastrous consequences in early 2014.
Today, Odessa remains a Jew-free barely Ukrainian city run by Georgian criminals with nary a Moldovan or Romanian in sight, but a beautiful town for tourists to visit :)
AND NOW YOU KNOW!
Vai, ce bine!

Ghana losing human capital to Okada accidents – Safety expert
A health and Safety Expert and Director of PB Protection Centre, Mr Philip Nana Asante, has stated that Ghana risks losing its human resource base to the illegal activities of Okada transport which kill hundreds annually.
Mr Asante said one could not estimate the number of people who die on daily basis as a result of this illegal transport sector in Ghana but the Okada business was not being considered as one of the priority emergency situations in the country by policy makers.
"I am aware of the current move by the Ghana Road Safety Commission and the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service aimed at training motor-bike riders within the country, but the question is, "Are these people getting the training to still come and operate illegally?" he quizzed.
He said research had revealed that over 40% of incidents involving motor-bikes occurred in the rural areas and many of these went unrecorded, especially those that happened within remote areas and hinterlands.
It would also be recalled that in 2013, out of a total of 2,213 traffic accidents recorded at the Korle-Bu Accident Centre in the first quarter, more than a quarter of the total of 659, to be precise, were accidents involving passengers-carrying motor bicycles or Okadas, as this mode of commercial transportation was commonly known.
Mr Asante said the phenomenon continued to rake havoc in the country as the records at the leading health facility in the country showed that almost 80% of accident cases brought to the emergency centre were motor-bike accidents.
The safety experts said many Ghanaians preferred using motor-bikes to beat traffic obstructions and so it is equally important to decide whether the Okada business had come to stay and if so, the authorities must not waste time to conduct risks assessment to the trade and put in place legislation to properly manage it.
"It is horrible to see greater number of Okada operators operating without helmet, licence and personal protective equipment."
"When will Ghana decide on the fate of Okada business to save the lives of many Ghanaians because the activity started in Ghana over a decade ago in a small scale, but continues to grow on daily basis and now has illegally become one of the main means of transportation across the country," Mr Asante stated.
These developments have caused and continue to cause a great loss of revenue to Ghana, due to injuries and death many Ghanaians and foreigners suffer from these illegal transportation business.
"I believe it is time that the government, and for that matter the Transport Ministry, decided on the fate of this operation to help save a greater number of lives in Ghana," Mr Asante said.

Weird Wednesdays
The sci-fi/horror epic that 1979 couldn't handle. An intergalactic warrior joins a cosmic Christ figure in battle against a demonic eight-year-old girl and her pet hawk, while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
The Visitor is a head-spinning mishmash of The Omen, The Birds, Rosemary's Baby, Star Wars and Close Encounters -- but even that barely hints at the fervor with which director Giulio Paradisi hurls his cast (John Huston, Glenn Ford, Shelley Winters, Franco Nero, Lance Henriksen and, yes, even Sam Peckinpah) into the cinematic void.
Just when you think you've nailed down which direction the film's heading in, The Visitor shatters your notion of the time-space continuum with a blackhearted blowout of interplanetary possession, telekinetic avian assault, exploding basketballs and ecclesiastical laserstorms. (Giulio Paradisi, Italy, 1979, 108 min.)

Essays for Moments of Being. Moments of Being essays are academic essays for citation. These papers were written primarily by students and provide critical analysis of Moments of Being by Virginia Woolf. More Than Just a London Walk: Woolf's Moments of Perception.
In an excerpt from Virginia Woolf's memoir "Moments of Being", she constructs a memoir with optimistic diction to convey to humanity that the significant moments from the past are a lesson to be used in the future. In Woolf's excerpt she reflects upon her childhood memories with her brother Thoby and her father at a seaside village. Woolf is indicating that some moments from that past.

An Author's Brush Virginia Woolf is not unlike any other truly good artist: her writing is vague, her expression can be inhibited, and much of her work is up to interpretation from the spectator.

Virginia Woolf, English writer whose novels, through their nonlinear approaches to narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre. Best known for her novels Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, she also wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women's writing, and the politics of power.
Published posthumously, Moments of Being is a fragmented and disjointed collection of autobiographical sketches that is curiously close to the fundamental spirit of Woolf's experiments in stream-of-consciousness fiction. One way of approaching this collection which has joined Woolf's journal entries and letters as a key source for trying to penetrate into the stream of her unconscious is to.

Lomba essay maritim; 21 05 2020. Virginia Woolf Moments Of Being Essay. Uncategorized. Virginia woolf moments of being essay.
Virginia Woolf was a writer who was much concerned with the general plight of women in literature in her era. Indeed, she showed considerable interest and concern with the place of women in her society and with the need for women to foster a solidarity with one another, making her a feminist in her point of view. Her feminism derived from her perception of the very real discrimination.
I first discovered Virginia Woolf as a student. I found the text completely baffling. I think I opened Mrs. Dalloway expecting a story, and what I got was a flow of ideas, memories. When I began to understand what Woolf was trying to achieve in her writing, it made me rethink how memories from childhood, inconsequential moments, have actually come to be the basis of my own identity. There is.
Most writers are poor. Virginia Woolf, high priestess of modernism, had to earn her living like anybody else. These days, her kind of fiction, richly figurative, with her characters' narratives.
But these moments are very rare and a day consists more of moments of non-being than moments of being. The conscious awareness of the moment at the time of experience separates the two moments from each other. Most times of the day people act without awareness, perform acts as if asleep, but moments of being open up a hidden reality (ASP: 2223). Moments of being are separated from.

Beginning C++ Programming – From Beginner to Beyond
May 25, 2022 C++, Development, Programming, Udemy
Obtain Modern C++ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and STL skills. C++14 and C++17 covered. C++20 info see below.
This course currently covers C++14 and C++17 but is still valid if you ultimately want to learn C++20. C++20 is new and the reality is that C++20 compilers and tools are not yet ready for prime time and the industry is using mainly C++14. So it's not really of any benefit for you to learn C++20 right now when the industry is not using it.
It's going to take many, many years for the industry to migrate to C++20 and that means jobs for C++20 are not going to be around for quite some time. What is available right now, are tons of jobs for Modern C++ developers, and you will obtain those skills in this course. It's our sincere advice to focus on learning Modern C++ and not get too hung up on the latest and greatest versions of C++.
