– As Delivered –
WASHINGTON—Representative Eliot L. Engel, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today made the following remarks on the House floor in support of a resolution that condemns the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya and calls for an end to the attacks in and an immediate restoration of humanitarian access to the state of Rakhine in Burma (H.Con.Res 90):
"Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this measure and I yield myself as much time as I might consume.
"Let me first of all thank my good friend and fellow New Yorker Mr. Crowley and our former Chair of the Asia Pacific Subcommittee Mr. Chabot for authoring this important resolution.
"I also want to thank Ed Royce, Chairman of our Foreign Affairs Committee, for his sustained focus on this tragedy and his leadership in quickly bringing this measure to the floor.
"Mr. Speaker, we continue to see reports of Rohingya refugees fleeing to Bangladesh and widespread hunger and malnutrition for those left behind.
"The Burmese military and security forces are waging a brutal campaign of violence against unarmed civilians—including women and children—killing, raping, and destroying lives and livelihoods.
"The Rohingya people have been marginalized for decades, but the unthinkable violence and human suffering since August is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple—a description the Trump Administration now agrees with, although they were far too slow to say so—and possibly even genocide.
"Over the past four months, more than 600,000 men, women, and children have fled to neighboring Bangladesh to find refuge in a country with tremendous needs of its own. This is more than 10 times the number of refugees the Administration will allow into the United States this year—the same Administration that ended America's participation in the UN effort to develop a Global Compact on Migration. All this right in the middle of the world's most serious refugee crisis in history.
"So I say: shame on us, we should be doing more.
"Bangladesh deserves our deep gratitude for opening its doors to the Rohingya at a time when our government slams the door shut.
"The governments of Burma and Bangladesh have struck a deal to begin repatriating Rohingya next month, but it's not yet clear that anyone is interested in returning right now.
"In fact, there are reports of more arrivals in Bangladesh each day, on fishing boats for those who can afford passage and on makeshift rafts for those who cannot. People are leaving Burma out of fear and they are leaving because they are hungry and they are leaving because they know if they stay, they will die.
"The Burmese government has not yet set appropriate conditions for the voluntary, dignified and safe return—including allowing an independent United Nations fact-finding mission and addressing citizenship issues.
"The United States Congress has long defended the rights and freedoms of the Burmese people—championing Burma's now leader, new leader Aung San Suu Kyi during her many years under house arrest; supporting Burma's historic 2015 decision; and remaining a committed partner in Burma's ongoing democratic transition.
"With the measure before us today, this body will continue to speak out on this issue. We support freedom and respect for human rights in Burma.
"This measure condemns the horrific actions of the military and security forces, calls for an immediate cessation of this violence, and urges the restoration of humanitarian access. It also calls for Aung San Suu Kyi to exercise moral leadership, something that's needed now more than ever.
"We reject the Army's claims that what's taking place in Burma is a so-called counterterrorism measure—that's nonsense. It's a textbook ethnic cleansing, that's what it is.
"We should also encourage other governments to stay engaged and continue to address the pressing needs of these refugees—needs that will only grow as long as this situation remains unresolved.
"Lastly, we must also urge our own Administration to hold members of the Burmese military and security forces accountable for these atrocities, and I have introduced sanctions legislation to do just that.
"I support this measure and urge my colleagues to do the same. I yield back."

... The United States and China are in a new era. It's time to develop policies and ideas that don't try fruitlessly to replicate the past.
One byproduct of China's recent stock market volatility has been the emergence of a veritable army of "perma-bears" who believe the Chinese economy is essentially falling off a cliff. Growth in China is slowing and will continue to do so in years to come. But the stock market drop in itself tells us little about China's real economy.
... The United States, for all its differences with Beijing, should be rooting for China's economic reformers to succeed. And as a large holder of Treasury securities and a major funder of U.S. structural deficits, China has a lot at stake in whether the United States undertakes urgent fiscal, tax and structural reforms that will allow our economy to grow faster.
Second, U.S. and Chinese companies need expanded opportunities in each other's markets.
"We should not roll out the red carpet for him," said Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), one of several Republican presidential candidates who say Obama should cancel or downgrade Xi's visit.
West Wing advisers called such a move unthinkable at a time when the White House is counting on Beijing's commitment to a major agreement to slash greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030 and its backing of the U.S.-led nuclear accord with Iran.
... In November 2009, Obama visited Hu in Beijing, eager to project a new era of U.S. engagement abroad. But at every turn, Hu appeared determined to thwart the American president.
At a town-hall-style meeting in Shanghai, Chinese officials refused White House requests to stream Obama's remarks live online. The hosts further undermined the event by planting milquetoast questions with a pre-screened audience.
When they look at China, it's easier for them to see the country through Chinese companies like Alibaba. If Alibaba collapses, to them it means China's economy is doomed too. It is that simple.
That may also explain why Xi will travel to Seattle - together with more than a dozen Chinese businessmen including Alibaba's founder and chairman Jack Ma Yun - on Tuesday, before going to Washington to meet President Barack Obama and concluding his trip in New York a week later.
Xi understands there is no short cut to improving the image of China in the eyes of the US media and public. There are too many political problems ranging from cybersecurity to growing tensions between Chinese and American interests in the South China Sea that Xi does not want to talk about. But, in terms of business, China is so important that no American corporate can ignore the market.
China's economy must open wider to the world to fuel national growth, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday, as the country's reformers vowed to gradually loosen a "negative list" regulating foreign market access.
China has repeatedly pledged to slacken restrictions on its manufacturing and service sectors as it tries to improve inefficient state-owned firms by adopting market-friendly policies to stave off slowing growth.
Democrats view China more favorably than do Republicans. Half of Democrats view the country unfavorably, compared to 63 percent of the GOP. The GOP is also more likely to be worried about nearly all of the issues Pew asked about -- they're more worried about the debt, about cyberattacks and about the trade deficit.
Tie-up between General Electric Co. and state-owned China National Machinery Industry Corp. for clean-energy projects in Africa, including 60 wind-power stations in Kenya valued at about $327 million.
U.S. and Chinese companies will contribute to a planned $3 billion fund to invest in energy-efficient projects in China.
we welcome China's peaceful rise. We think it's good not only because China is a booming potential market. We think it's good not only because it allows China potentially to share some burdens with us in helping countries that are not as far along develop. But we think it's just good that hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens have been able to rise out of poverty at incredible speed over the last several years. They could not have done that had it not been for a stable trading system and world order that is underwritten in large part by the work that our alliances do.

Human brain hard-wired for rural tranquillity
April 19, 2016 by Colaborama
Humans may be hard-wired to feel at peace in the countryside and confused in cities – even if they were born and raised in an urban area.
According to preliminary results of a study by scientists at Exeter University, an area of the brain associated with being in a calm, meditative state lit up when people were shown pictures of rural settings. But images of urban environments resulted in a significant delay in reaction, before a part of the brain involved in processing visual complexity swung into action as the viewer tried to work out what they were seeing.
The study, which used an MRI scanner to monitor brain activity, adds to a growing body of evidence that natural environments are good for humans, affecting mental and physical health and even levels of aggression.
Dr Ian Frampton, an Exeter University psychologist, stressed the researchers still had more work to do, but said they may have hit upon something significant.
"When looking at urban environments the brain is doing a lot of processing because it doesn't know what this environment is," he said. "The brain doesn't have an immediate natural response to it, so it has to get busy. Part of the brain that deals with visual complexity lights up: 'What is this that I'm looking at?' Even if you have lived in a city all your life, it seems your brain doesn't quite know what to do with this information and has to do visual processing," he said.
Rural images produced a "much quieter" response in a "completely different part of the brain", he added. "There's much less activity. It seems to be in the limbic system, a much older, evolutionarily, part of the brain that we share with monkeys and primates."
The effect does not appear to be aesthetic as it was found even when beautiful urban and "very dull" pictures of the countryside were used.
Cityscapes activate the part of the brain that processes visual complexity (PA)
Professor Michael Depledge of Exeter University, a former Environment Agency chief scientist, said urban dwellers could be suffering in the same way as animals kept in captivity. He said the move to the cities had been accompanied by an "incredible rise in depression and behavioural abnormalities".
"I think we have neglected the relationship that human beings have with their environment and we are strongly connected to it," he said. "If you don't get the conditions right in zoos, the animals start behaving in a wacky way. There have been studies done with laboratory animals showing their feeding is abnormal. Sometimes they stop eating and sometimes they eat excessively. How far we can draw that parallel, I don't know."
The study was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund Programme and European Social Fund Convergence Programme for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Dr Frampton was one of the coordinators of the research, which was carried out by Marie-Claire Reville and Shanker Venkatasubramanian, of the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at Exeter University.

Carriera
Nato a La Reuchenette di Péry, all'inizio della sua carriera corse come individuale, raccogliendo buoni piazzamenti nelle più significative corse del panorama elvetico come il Campionato di Zurigo e l'À travers Lausanne.
Nel 1946 venne ingaggiato dalla Condor, una squadra svizzera. In quell'anno partecipò alla Vuelta a España dove colse l'undicesimo posto assoluto ed in cui fu terzo nella sedicesima tappa che prevedeva l'arrivo a Bilbao. Mentre la stagione successiva, sempre in terra iberica, concluse al terzo posto la Volta Ciclista a Catalunya

Nel 1948 si piazzò nei primi dieci al Tour de Suisse ed al Tour de Romandie e fu secondo ai campionati nazionali dietro Ferdi Kübler. Venne quindi convocato sia per il Tour de France sia per i mondiali ma in entrambe si ritirò.

Nel 1949 vinse una tappa al Tour de Suisse e concluse al secondo posto la competizione, preceduto di soli nove secondi dal connazionale Gottfried Weilenmann. Venne nuovamente selezionato per prender parte alla Grande boucle che riuscì a concludere.

Nel biennio 1950-1951 fece nuovamente parte della selezione svizzera al Tour de France che riuscirono ad aggiudicarsi la corsa con Kübler prima e Hugo Koblet poi.

Anche suo fratello minore Robert fu un ciclista professionista della stessa epoca, ed anche suo figlio Georges jr. praticò questo sport.

What the World Needs Today: Turkey with Its Independent and Rational Diplomacy
More than three weeks have passed since the start of the Russian offensive against Ukraine. In this process, the Russian military forces, the Ukrainian military forces and the civilian population were seriously damaged. Of course, the damage to the civilians, the exclusive elements of the war, brought the crisis to a stronger voice among the international community. However, it would be appropriate to say that the international community's drifting in an anti-Russian wave caused the crisis to escalate rather than resolve it. In such a situation, Turkey, with its rational and impartial stance, assumes a key position in the crisis.
Turkey's Attitude: Multilateral Active Diplomacy
Turkey, from the first moment of the war, announced that the military operation against Ukraine was unacceptable, that the war would cause damage to international law and security, and that it supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine and invited Russia to stop the operation. However, this situation did not push Turkey to abandon its multilateral diplomacy efforts. By continuing its talks with both Russia and Ukraine, Turkey presents an example of diplomacy that is unique and in a way the world needs most right now.
Turkey's frequent re-vocation of its mediation initiative, which it has repeated since the very beginning of the operation, will undoubtedly find a response on the ground at the end of the day. Because, apart from Turkey, there is no actor that can provide an environment of peace and diplomacy and that inspires confidence for both countries. The meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries in Antalya last week is an example of the atmosphere of trust that Turkey is trying to create for peace, although it has not yet produced any concrete results. Subsequently, President Erdogan's frequent meetings with the leaders of the two countries and subsequently inviting the two leaders to meet in Turkey for a ceasefire and peace is a continuation of this goodwill process.
Turkey's stance in the Russia-Ukraine war should be read together with the diplomatic initiatives it has carried out in recent months. Ankara, which will establish diplomatic relations with the countries with which it has problems in the Gulf, on the other hand, with Israel, and possibly with Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the upcoming period, also declares its position in the region with its stance during the Ukraine crisis: an active and effective Turkey. In this direction, Turkey's main goal will be a regional peace built on the principle of neutrality and international law.
Turkey's stance on the Ukraine crisis is misread, especially by the United States. It was thought that Turkey, which declared that Russia's operation was unacceptable, said yes to the vote to condemn Russia in the UN General Assembly, and closed the Istanbul and Dardanelles Straits in accordance with the Montreux Convention, would be seriously concerned about Russia's moves in Ukraine. Thus, at the end of the day, it was expected that Turkey would move in the NATO axis and the US orbit, and it was predicted that it would be dragged into an anti-Russian position by being caught in the current western wave. In fact, the US request from Turkey to deploy its S-400s in Ukraine, which was reported the other day, is an offer made in this direction (although unofficially). However, Turkey's independent and impartial diplomatic stance is a clear indication of the increase in Turkey's political and diplomatic capacity, rather than a break with NATO. As a strong NATO member and neighbor of the warring parties, Turkey tries to maintain the balance between Russia and Ukraine (and therefore Russia and NATO/USA) in favor of peace and stability. At the NATO Leaders' Summit to be held this week, it is highly expected that the US and Turkish leaders will meet to exchange views on Turkey's role in the crisis.
Putin's Intention: First the Field, Then the Table
Putin, who does not seem to approach Turkey's mediation at the moment, primarily wants to achieve success in the field. After the Soviet Union period, Russia made such a military build-up on a country's border for the first time. This shows that Russia's intention is a decisive victory on the field. However, Russia apparently could not carry out the Ukraine operation successfully, faced a serious opposition from Ukraine and could not get the desired results on the field yet. Russia's desire to sit at the table by using its military superiority harshly, as we have seen in other examples -Georgia, Syria etc.- has not been realized in Ukraine yet. In my opinion, without this situation, Russia will not easily sit on the table. Russia's already existing economic problems, especially in Syria, and the fact that its aggressive moves in the last 15 years – especially after the military reforms – have reduced the diplomatic influence and credibility, left it with only one branch to cling to: military power. Putin, who wants to play his only trump card correctly and sit on the table in a position where he can take – at least some of – his demands on Ukraine, does not seem to have thrown the diplomatic option aside at the moment. However, the "unacceptable" demands he made to Ukraine are an indication that he is not considering the diplomatic option, at least for now.
Possibilities for Russia
The invasion of Ukraine caused Russia to be subjected to serious sanctions by the USA and EU countries. The trade of Russian companies with the west was stopped, Russian banks were excluded from the SWIFT system, and even international brands closed their stores in Russia. Russia is facing a serious economic crisis and a shortage of basic necessities such as food and medical supplies. In such a situation, two options appear before the Kremlin.
First, Russia can take a step back in the face of sanctions and consider the diplomatic option. In this case, it can get rid of the pressure on the Russian public, which has already been struggling with economic problems for the last ten years. Because Putin's popularity in the Russian public is gradually decreasing. However, in any case, Russia's considering of the diplomatic path is postponed until after the military superiority it will gain in the field, as I have mentioned above. Even if Russia chooses the diplomatic path, it will prefer to take the military path as far as it goes by forcing its limits.
The other option is to bring Ukraine to its knees by maintaining the current situation. Here, all kinds of military and psychological pressure elements are used, civilian targets are hit and the resistance point of the other side is weakened. Putin seems to be on this option for now. However, if this situation fails to bring Ukraine to its knees, Russia's other card may be to put pressure on Europe. For this, Russia has two trump cards: energy and immigrants. Russia is a country that can meet the energy needs of European heavy industry. This position makes her hand feel strong all the time. On the other hand, immigrants from Ukraine to the west will put Europe in a difficult situation, although its seriousness has not yet been discussed. Russia knows that Ukraine will send a serious migration to the west if it continues its current attacks with similar severity, and this can be used as a trump card against Europe.
Gain In Every Situation For Turkey
Russia's ongoing attacks and further escalation of the crisis creates a situation that highlights Turkey's geopolitical importance. Turkey is already a neighbor with Russia over the Black Sea and is in a critical position will be more important in the case of an escalating war. For this reason, the importance of Turkey's geopolitics, which declined after the Cold War, is on the rise again. On the other hand, Russia's playing the energy card against the west will strengthen the option of transferring Iran and Azerbaijan gas to the west via Turkey, and TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project) will strengthen Turkey's hand in its relations with the west in this sense.
On the other hand, if Russia considers the diplomatic option, it seems certain that Turkey will play a role in this table. President Erdogan's talks with the leaders of 35 countries in the name of peace in a month and his frequent efforts to bring Putin and Zelenski together will provide Turkey with a serious prestige both in the region and internationally if the talks start. On the other part, due to its diplomatic stance in the process, it will be able to maintain its relations with both countries unharmed if peace is built. As a matter of fact, both Russia and Ukraine are the countries which Turkey cooperates on issues of strategic importance for him.
The Problem That The USA Does Not Give Up: S-400s in Turkey
During his visit to Turkey this month, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman is reported to have offered to send S-400s, which Turkey bought from Russia and has strained relations with the United States, to Ukraine in order to protect Ukrainian airspace. Rather than considering this situation as a concrete step taken by the USA for Ukraine, it is necessary to evaluate it as a strategic diplomatic discourse in terms of US-Turkey relations.
American sources say that in an environment where Turkey is afraid of Russia's Ukraine operation, the US has brought the S-400 issue to the agenda again, and thus wants to solve this "problem". To put it more clearly, in the statement made by the experts in question, Turkey, feeling under pressure, is expected to resolve the s-400 issue as desired by the United States. The real issue, however, is whether Turkey really feels pressured by Russia's moves in Ukraine.
Although Turkey is fundamentally against the war, it is obvious that it is not a party to the war of the two neighboring countries over the Black Sea. Turkey has multilateral relations with Russia in energy, defense and some other economic fields. On the other hand, it has relations with Ukraine in both agricultural products and, more importantly, in the defense industry, which has brought Turkey to the fore in the international arena in recent years. Considering these relations, Turkey has emphasized its role as a "mediator" rather than being a party to the war since the first signs of the war appeared. As a matter of fact, the rhetoric and moves of President Erdogan and the Turkish Foreign Ministry clearly reveal this.
The Russian S-400s are something Ankara has "paid the price" for it and sees as a matter of national security subject. Turkey was offended and removed from the US' F-35 program in return for these defense systems, and the planes that Turkey even paid for were confiscated by the USA. Moreover, Turkey is still trying to get back the $1.4 billion it paid for these planes (by modernization of F-16s, etc.).
The US, of course, knows that Turkey will not send the S-400s to Ukraine. As I mentioned, Turkey bought the S-400s from Russia "at a price" and despite its strategic partner the USA, and deployed them to the country. For this reason, it would be more accurate to read this proposal made by the US Deputy Secretary of State on the basis of intentions rather than contingencies and concrete situations. Accordingly, this proposal of the USA can be read in two ways.
First of all, this proposal made by the USA is a move that could make Turkey a clear side in the war and decisively confront Russia and Turkey. In other words, it can be said that this offer is a rather dishonest way of telling Turkey to "choose your side". Turkey's mediation role reveals both the point reached by Turkey's diplomatic capacity and Turkey's willingness to play an important role in the name of peace and stability. Moreover, Turkey's role and its diplomatic relations with both countries, despite the war, are of critical importance for Europe, Ukraine and the United States. Turkey has made it clear that it aims to achieve peace and stability through an independent and rational diplomatic process rather than choosing a side in the crisis.
Secondly, this proposal may have only been aimed at pushing Turkey to reconsider the s-400 issue, as it was not made through official means and US officials left questions on the subject unanswered. The USA wanted to emphasize that it still has not given up on this issue, that it is open to offers or that there are still things Turkey can do about it. Because it is clearly known by the USA that Turkey will reject this offer. Again, this can be read as a "not very sincere" sign of goodwill, an intention to reevaluate the relations.
There is only one move Turkey should make to the US's S-400 offer: to remain silent. The fact that the S-400 offer does not come through official channels brings the possibility that Turkey may leave this offer unanswered and act as if it never happened. It would be more appropriate to remove this issue from the agenda with a diplomatic maneuver, since it will exactly make sense to make a positive or negative comment on this proposal. Turkey's preference for S-400s over F-35s has already been clearly demonstrated in recent years. In the new process in the region, especially these days when Turkey announced that it has started the production of unmanned warplanes and the legendary success of Turkish UAV's are appreciated, it is clear that Turkey will not give up the critical defense advantage of the S-400s in exchange for being included in the F-35 program again.

What a bunch of pathetic lefty mugs that signed this poncing lying bastards petition to stay in the country.
A teenager who posed as a homeless orphan facing death if he was deported from Britain was today exposed as a fraud.
Schoolboy Ahmer Rana persuaded thousands of people including his MP to support his bid to stay in Britain.
More than 4,000 people in a quiet country town signed a Facebook petition asking the Home Office not to deport him when he turned 18.
His heartbreaking story that his parents had been killed in Pakistan won huge public sympathy.
But today it was revealed that Rana had lied to everyone - including his own foster parents and schoolmates at Queen Elizabeth High School in Carmarthen, Wales.
The faker admitted that his real name is Daniyal Shahzad, he is 19 not 18 and that his parents are alive and well.
Daniyal yesterday admitted he wanted to stay in Britain to send cash home to his mother, father, brothers and sisters.
His lies were exposed by the UK Border Agency said a judge found 'inconsistencies' in his case.
Daniyal confessed: 'I would like to say sorry to my friends in school who have supported me. I have let everyone down.' He has has been living in Wales since 2008, when he moved in with foster parents John and Lesley Hillard in Nantycaws, Carmarthen.
Daniyal pretended his birthday was on Christmas Day - and that he would be forced to leave in December when turned 18.
Two days before Christmas his supporters travelled to London to present a petition to the Home Office calling for him not to be deported to Pakistan.
The petition was handed over UK Immigration Minister Damian Green.
But Daniyal admitted that the story began with 'one small lie to the Home Office and snowballed out of control.' He said: 'The true reason I came here was to earn money to send back to my family.

The gullibility of liberals is astonishing. Will they learn from it? I doubt it!
Actually, come to think of it, the word "gullible" has been removed from the Oxford English dictionary. Best call them "naieve" instead.
There is absolutely no doubt that "cheers Chris" is has been unfortunate enough to be subjected to the BNP brainwashing school . For he sees himself as a prodigy of liberal Nationalism, for in reality does not and has never existed, especially not in the BNP; for that real Nationalist's will hold no doubt ..
He is naive enough to believe that a Lion is welcome in his own backyard , the Lion should be supported in our environment as his own and that the beautiful beast, as he undeniably is, is not there to hurt him or his children.
Again, as a liberal "he wont bite me first".
As ardent Nationalists go, don't hate him fellow Goyims, he will learn, even if it is the hard way.
Personally I would hunt down the vicious predator, where ever he would be lurking as I have children in my back yard, naughty ones too, before he would ever even know I'm on my way, I would serve the same poisoness dish first !! ;o)

The Manual of Southern Know-How
How to Do New Orleans Like a Local
Let New Orleans native and award-winning screenwriter Lolis Eric Elie guide you away from Bourbon Street to the avenues experiencing a resurgence around the city
by Lolis Eric Elie
photo: Cedric Angeles
A streetcar on the Canal Street line.
Oretha Castle Haley. Freret. Oak. Remember those street names. Cling to them like the heirlooms they are. No matter how much the corporate hotel chains and the corporate restaurants try to herd you with the rest of the cattle to the usual New Orleans places, resist.
For several generations, marketers and developers have sought to remake the city into a pale, generic version of Anywhere, America. They demolished much of our traditional architecture, ripped out our streetcar lines, and replaced many of our neighborhood streets with elevated expressways. But in recent years, the old New Orleans has come roaring back with a fury, declaring herself a multicentered city of rich, idiosyncratic neighborhoods with their main streets—once centers of commerce—finally enjoying a resurgence.
When they're not rousing French Quarter crowds, Preservation Hall Jazz Band members Charlie Gabriel (left) and Ben Jaffe relax at spots like High Hat Cafe.
Richard Campanella, the Tulane University professor who has made a career of studying the city's neighborhoods, points to the Dryades Market, which opened in 1849 and soon started attracting Eastern European Orthodox Jewish merchants. A hundred years later, it had become a major shopping area for black New Orleanians and the site of civil rights protests against its discriminatory hiring practices. Oretha Castle Haley, after whom the street that passes by the market has been renamed, participated in the protests and later became a civil rights leader.
The patio at Casa Borrega.
Taken collectively, the street's current offerings exemplify the story of New Orleans (including, fittingly, a series of nonprofits). The Dryades Public Market is now a food hub featuring local wares such as French Truck Coffee. The Southern Food and Beverage Museum features Crescent City–centric collections such as Raymond Bordelon's gallery of absinthe paraphernalia. Casa Borrega, with its Mexican food and pan-Latin live music, reasserts the long connection between New Orleans and points southwest. James Beard Award nominee Isaac Toups offers his personal approach to regional cuisine at Toups South, while Café Reconcile uses its white beans with shrimp, po'boys, and bananas Foster bread pudding as a means of teaching at-risk youth the skills they need to secure employment in the restaurant industry.
The Stryker cocktail at Cure.
Heading toward Uptown: Freret Street had become an important commercial corridor by the 1920s. After decades of decline, the avenue has bounced back to life as a destination for eating and drinking. Cure helped spearhead the comeback of creative cocktail culture in New Orleans. High Hat Cafe, with its pimento cheese and hot tamales, brings Mississippi Delta notes to a menu that also includes Gumbo Ya-Ya. There are good New Orleanian exponents of national food trends, including regional Italian cuisine (Ancora Pizzeria and Salumeria), hamburgers (the Company Burger), and hot dogs (Dat Dog). For live music on Freret, the choice is Gasa Gasa.
Fine blades at Coutelier Nola.
Oak Street didn't become a part of New Orleans proper until the city annexed the town of Carrollton in 1874. Some of the old businesses held on while the street declined in the 1980s and '90s, most notably Haase's children's clothing store. But even in Oak's heyday, you couldn't have imagined walking into a place like Coutelier Nola, a fine Japanese knife store opened by the chefs Jacqueline Blanchard and Brandt Cox. Simone's Market, a gourmet food store and café, also reflects the street's emerging sensibility with its rosemary roast beef and smoked fried chicken sandwiches, while Z'otz Café pours coffee with a bohemian touch.
But if you really want to see a New Orleans that is both totally typical and absolutely singular, go on down to Cowbell at the end of Oak Street for hamburgers, homemade apple pie, and crab boil potatoes—I would guess even most New Orleanians haven't ventured that far.

Q: Splitting/saving h264 rtsp stream and de-payloading headers with ffmpeg without decoding/encoding in C++ I want to receive an h264-encoded stream over rtsp, read the metadata from the packet headers (to save into a database), split and save the video to disk without decoding/encoding the stream. The length of the split video segments can be fixed to, say, 5-10 minutes. I want to do this using the FFMpeg API in C++ (NOT command line!) with as little CPU overhead as possible because I need the headers. Can this be done using FFMpeg? Dare I ask if anyone can suggest tutorials? (I couldn't find anything other than command line examples)

A: You can do this. It has APIs to demux and decode. I don't think there is any documentation to explain this. You may go through ffmpeg applications - ffplay, ffserver.

Q: How to add new row to table after submission using AngularJS, AJAX, and XML I am new to AngularJS and am trying to convert from JQuery to Angular. I know I am using JQuery snippet within .success but I highly doubt it'll work but this should give you an idea of what I am trying to do.

Denmark's Kronborg Castle — A World Heritage Site and the 'Real-Life' Home of Hamlet — Commemorates the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's Passing
Helsingør, Denmark – Although its history predates Shakespeare's account of the tragic Danish prince, Kronborg Castle and its ancient interiors could well be imagined as the site of Hamlet's rise and downfall. Helsingør (anglicized as "Elsinore") is the setting of Hamlet, and the castle, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO — the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — has been the site of an annual production of this signature work in Shakespeare's canon.
The tradition began in 1816 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Shakespeare's passing, with a cast consisting of soldiers from the castle garrison, and the play has been performed here every year since, with notable Hamlets including such acting luminaries as Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Christopher Plummer, Derek Jacobi, and Jude Law.
Every summer, Danish and international companies, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, present live performances of Shakespeare's masterwork in this unique setting.
This year, the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, Hamlet Live is being performed from June 1 through August 31. Rather than a straight rendering of the play, this is an interactive experience, with audience members following various characters around, various iconic scenes being performed all over the castle's various halls and darkened passageways. The spectators are more like "eyewitnesses" to the events of the tale being played out in close proximity to them.
In 2000, Kronborg Castle became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As UNESCO Director-General Bokova said the following January: "[World Heritage] is . . . a source of energy that is endlessly renewable. It is a foundation of wisdom and knowledge upon which to build a better future . . . It is a dream of humanity united in its great diversity."
Kronborg Castle has existed at Helsingør since 1420, during the reign of the Danish king, Eric of Pomerania. King Eric extracted a fee payment — "Sound dues" — from ships wishing to pass through the strait on the way to or from the Baltic Sea. To help enforce his payment demands, he built a powerful fortress at the narrowest point in the strait. At the time, the Kingdom of Denmark extended across both sides of the waterway, and Helsingborg Castle had been in existence on the opposite, eastern shore since the Middle Ages. With the two castles and a fleet of guard ships, it was possible to control all navigation through the strait.
Kronborg Castle, a Renaissance structure with four wings surrounding a spacious courtyard, and towers and spires, is extensively and richly decorated with sandstone ornaments in unique and imaginative designs. The magnificent-for-its-time-period Great (banquet) Hall is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe.
The Hamlet experience, and the long tradition of Hamlet being performed in this history-rich World Heritage Site, is a living testament to the power of the arts in bringing the people together in a meaningful way. And, exploring the creepy crypts and catacombs of Kronborg Castle is a great experience at any time. Deep down under the castle, you'll meet the imposing stone statue of Holger the Dane (Holger Dansk). According to an Arthurian legend, Holger the Dane was taken to Avalon by Morgan le Fay. He returned to rescue France from danger, and then he journeyed back to hibernation at Kronborg Castle, sleeping there until needed to defend his homeland.
Culture most often seems to extend beyond the walls of the many World Heritage Sites. They are frequently the source of great prosperity for the surrounding communities, who extend the art of hospitality. After a recent, enriching encounter at Kronborg Castle, ICAP correspondents experienced some outstanding culinary art at the local Bistro La Mer. The bistro offered exquisite entrées such as grain-fed rib-eye steak, and chicken breast with rosemary and lemon, with side dishes of chili/garlic spinach sauté, and tomato gratin with Gruyere cheese, shallots, garlic and tarragon.

Updates to the questionnaire and CANSIM series in 2015
In 2015, the Control and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages program questionnaire, the "Government Liquor Authority: Report of Operations," was updated after conducting qualitative testing involving field interviews with provincial and territorial liquor authorities. Subsequently, new CANSIM tables were created to reflect the increased information brought about by this program change.
A fourth beverage category was added to the questionnaire—ciders, coolers, and other refreshment beverages (CCORB). International organizations including the World Health Organization publish alcohol statistics with four beverage categories: spirits, wine, beer, and other. Prior to the 2015 update, ciders and wine coolers were included with wines; spirit coolers were included with spirits; and beer coolers were included with beer. Other refreshment beverages not elsewhere classified could be reported as a spirit, wine, or beer, at the discretion of the respondent.
To improve the comparability of these statistics, the fourth beverage category, CCORB, was added to the questionnaire and to its associated CANSIM series. As of fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, most liquor authorities in Canada report sales using a variant of the fourth category that includes ciders, coolers, "ready-to-drink" beverages and/or other refreshment beverages.
To improve the comparability of the number and types of retail outlets between each province and territory's diverse alcohol beverage distribution networks, the categorization of outlets section was updated.
The tax and other government revenue sections of the questionnaire and associated CANSIM series were updated to include all retail sales taxes, excise taxes, specific taxes on alcohol, and other reported and identifiable government revenues derived from the control and sale of alcoholic beverages. Additionally, the sales figures in all CANSIM series were revised to show the pre-tax sales. Previously, the goods and services tax was included in the sales figures but other taxes were not.
Comparability and limitations of the data
Statistics on sales of alcoholic beverages by volume should not be equated with data on consumption. Sales volumes include only sales as reported by the liquor authorities and their agencies, including sales by wineries, breweries, and other outlets that operate under license from the liquor authorities. Consumption of alcoholic beverages would include all of these sales, as well as any unreported volumes of alcohol sold through ferment-on-premise operations or other outlets, and any unrecorded or illegal transactions.
Statistics on sales of alcoholic beverages by dollar value should not be equated with consumer expenditures on alcoholic beverages. Sales data refer to the revenues received by liquor authorities and their agents, and a portion of these revenues include sales to licensed establishments such as bars and restaurants.
The value of sales of alcoholic beverages excludes all sales taxes, the value of returnable containers, and deposits. Per capita sales by value and volume are based on the population aged 15 years and older. This is in accordance with the practice of Health Canada in presenting trends that are more realistic in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. This allows comparability with other countries, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Health Organisation as they also present alcohol per capita data using the population aged 15 years and older.
The population estimates are based on CANSIM table 051-0001. Absolute volume of sales of alcoholic beverages is calculated by multiplying the sales volume by the percentage of alcohol content for each product category.

Assessing the Asda Brand
Each week in association with retail and marketing consultancy Pragma, MarketingWeek.co.uk looks at a high-profile UK brand, assessing its performance against a range of criteria and offering suggestions to improve its overall score. Marks for each section are given out of five stars, while the overall rating is given at the end of the review.
By Marketing Week	 1 Dec 2006 3:30 pm
Brand ***
Credible and consistent Every Day Low Pricing has created a reliable value-based brand with a high functional rating. The brand also has a youthful aspect with its bright visual identity and young staff but this image is now a little tired and Asda has been slow to modernise compared to its competition. Efforts to entice a larger slice of the upper socio-economic profile with "Local" and "Organic" initiatives provide a more grown up and responsible image But it is not just organic and local that is needed – a passion for food that some of their major competitors communicate so well is missing on many fronts, such as POS, range innovation, customer relationships and store finishing. Extra Special is trying to spread the passion but to date its impact does not go much further than the words on the packet.
Experience ****
There is wide inconsistency of experience between stores that Asda's chief executive Andy Bond is said to be trying to balance. Often an easy and convenient shop, typical stores also offer George (a big attraction), Asda Living and the food range. Moving around the store is generally easy with wide aisles but sightlines to the store signage are blocked by the shelving at eye level, thus hampering potentially good navigation with simple signage. Check-out areas are often free of any last minute purchase temptations. The café facility, where available, seems slightly lacking with the 360° visual fascia not properly considered as an integrated environment with the store.
Product ***
Fresh produce is well managed and appears to have reduced packaging, conveying a more natural greengrocer image. Convenience is the theme in the fresh food area but quality can be variable and the exotic is quite rare. The fish counter is well presented but quite prosaic in its range. The "Take Away" concept is a great modern meal solution idea and reflects general trends in family fast food shopping and capitalises on top up shopping trips. Ranges are complete in ticking all expected boxes but lack the innovation and excitement to engage shoppers on a personal meal solution and creative basis.
Value positioning ****
Value is clearly Asda's core mantra and this positioning works well for the standard budget shop. Value is appreciated and sought at all quality levels and Asda is making slow headway into expanding their value leadership into a higher quality profile that will attract more upmarket consumers. George provides exceptionally good value office wear – such as a completely on-trend wool mix winter coat for £40.
Location ***
Asda already operates in a mix of urban and rural areas and has room to expand. Typically stronger in its northern heartland and having less prominence in the South West, Asda remains a national retailer that is in easy reach of many consumers. Asda's challenge is to make its smaller stores work as well as some of the new mega-sized stores.
Encourage better relationships with customers, and ensure new magazine reaches uncaptured audience with creative meal/living solutions that improve the quality/value perception of Asda.
Create new food ranges delivered in innovative formats that are in tune with consumers more varied and esoteric tastes, and succeed in communicating a credible passion for food.
Make "local" a genuine presence in store.
Put some personality back into the stores, with better offers, POS and signage

+ Purpose Boxes went out last week! It's such a cool feeling sending them out into the world! As feedback rolls in, my heart just swells. I know I keep saying I wanted to "do something," but that's the best way I can describe it. I have always had a desire to do something, but I never knew what.
+ We are going to see the Rolling Stones in June! I'm really excited! I have no idea what to expect, but I have my outfit picked out. That's what's actually important, right?
I always pick my outfits out way in advance, too. I love the green purse!

Petrasite:: Review on HTC One (M8) . Best Android Phone in 2014?
Review on HTC One (M8) . Best Android Phone in 2014?
HTC had a multi-award winning phone on their hands with the original HTC One last year. So the though on my mind (and I'm sure many others, was just how would they manage to improve on it in 2014's successor??!?). With the HTC One M8, HTC sure has done not only that, but they have really set the bar even higher than ever!
I loved the metal finish on my HTC One M7 and when I unboxed the HTC One M8, I was astounded at the wraparound metal back (90% metal!! Wow!) and the curve and finish (on the Gunmetal Grey) was something that just felt so good and "right" in my hand when I held it, so much so that I didn't want to put it down! The finish and texture on the Gunmetal grey is superb! Obviously lots of thought and effort in getting the tactile feel down, just right!
Overall, I think this device is a winner, superb build and quality, screen is top notch, no lag when using it, Sense 6 is really upping the game with the tweaks and improvements, and though I'd personally wished for a slightly larger battery in the M8 (2800-3000mAh would've been superb) the improvements in terms of power usage and battery management, means that it last quite a bit better than its predecessor in my own heavy usage.
As a photographer, the camera on my device is important for making photos when I don't have my other cameras on me. The Ultrapixel camera on the HTC One M8 with the Duocamera setup goes some way to improve on the critiques of its predecessor.
The Ultrapixel camera definitely make a difference in lowlight and indoor scenes, while the increased data in the files from the depth sensor is telling in not only better photo files and coupled with the interesting features in the stock photo editor like uFocus, Foregrounder and so on, lets the average user get creative with their photos for sharing on social networks. In that respect, the camera is more than sufficient for social sharing, the details in files is sufficient and slight cropping is still acceptable, though given that the camera is still only 4 megapixels, heavy cropping isn't recommended, of course.
Lovely device, I wish everyone out there would get one, and realise what they've been missing when they experience the HTC One M8 firsthand for themselves!
