While I have looked at some vintage filament style globes in the past and come to the conclusion that they're absolutely horrid for energy efficiency, they do have a visual appeal. This week, while rummaging through a thrift store, I came across one that I had seen previously in a K-Mart, selling for $3. I didn't really need it, but I felt like it was visually worth it just to grab it for a bit of entertainment. What's life without a bit of whimsy?
The globe comes packed in a colour cardboard box, decorated with a black and white vintage motif that really makes the product stand out with its golden glow. The box gives the globe as 25W with an ST58 "style" on an E27 Edison Screw base. Aside from that, there is really not much information – we aren't told about the lumens it generates, we're not told about the lifetime either (which I can't imagine to be too great given the almost comical amount of filament they've packed in). I suppose part of the reason is that it's being sold as a "decorative" globe – perhaps they don't need to provide this information. At least it does have a regulatory compliance mark, not that they really needed it.
The globe itself looks only to have the slightest evidence of glass tinting. It has a bit of an "octopus head" shape, almost reminiscent of a mercury arc rectifier tube. The bulb is rather long, with a gold-coloured cap with the Mirabella logo pressed into it. It claims to be a 25W globe, at 240V rather than the harmonised 230V. This means it should last longer in Australia where we were officially a 240V country and line voltages often are even a little higher than that.
The filament is extremely thin and hard to image even with my macro lens. If it is coiled, I can't see it!
The filament supports at the ends are like "spider's legs". From the top, we can see a total of ten supports.
From underneath, there are nine supports with the filament coming in on two wires.
At a guess, there is probably close to two meters of filament in the globe, which seems quite long.
As with a thrift-store purchase, everything is "as-is", and with such fine filaments I was concerned that it may have been damaged in transit. However, a quick check proved that the globe was still functioning with a very distinctive look matching the one on the box. A check of the colour temperature shows it is about 2400K according to the camera.
A look at the globe from the bottom end shows the warm glowing filaments reflected from the oddly-shaped glass envelope.
Near the supports, the filaments seem to cool enough that they aren't producing much light. However, as a 25W globe, it doesn't really do too much for light nor heat generation, so I'd say the characterisation of the globe as a "decorative" one is spot on.
Testing it on the variac with the Tektronix PA1000 shows that across the voltage range, the globe behaves with a power relationship between power and voltage. The actual power is about 23.5W at 240V, so slightly underpowered.
I decided to buy this globe from a thrift shop for a bit of entertainment, and it certainly looks a little strange with the amount of filament wrapped inside. But it does work, although very little is said about lifetime or luminous output. As a decorative lamp, it's certainly pretty and mine seems to be a little under powered.

FORBES Reviews Stealth Core Trainer
by Howard Panes
'Stealth' Core Trainer Aims To One-Up Nintendo's Wii Fit Balance Board
I doubt that anyone, including leading industry analysts or even Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie "My Body is Ready" Fils-Aime, could have predicted the wild success of Wii Fit and its accompanying Balance Board accessory. After its 2007 release, the fitness software and peripheral combo went on to sell over 22 million units worldwide, proving out a real demand for casual, health-centric video games. And it appears the aftershocks of Wii Fit's success are still being felt today, specifically in the mobile market.
Jumping into the games-as-fitness space is newcomer Stealth, a piece of smartphone-powered exercise equipment that managed to raise almost $400,000 via a successfully funded Kickstarter campaign back in December. The gamified contraption combines a physical board with an interactive scoring application and uses your phone's accelerometer to track body movements. Interestingly, the whole experience is centered around one specific kind of exercise.
"It all came from me seeing this trend of planking and planking competitions," says Stealth co-creator Howard Panes, who's been a personal trainer for the past 24 years. "I had invented some fitness products before, but I'm always looking for the next best thing. So I noticed that wherever I was going, whatever gyms I was working out at, I saw people doing the plank exercise. Basically, if you do one exercise for your whole body, the plank is probably the best, because you're working all your core muscles, your legs, your shoulders. So I started doing [planks] religiously, and then I said to myself, 'Holy God, this is so boring'."
And so Howard set out to solve this problem of engagement, to turn planking from a stale test of endurance and strength into something more appealing. The first step would be cobbling together what was essentially a rough draft of the ultimate planking machine, and so Howard called his old friend Don Brown, creator of the Ab Roller and Ab Coaster, to help out with conceptualization. "I didn't know how to do it by myself," Howard admits. "I knew he could help turn my idea into the reality of what morphed into Stealth. Him and I began working on sketches, and we basically planned out the idea as a real product. Don actually put together the [original] prototype using a foam board and some cut-out plywood, then mounted a plastic dog ball on the bottom with strong tape. Pretty much products you can get at a pet store and Home Depot."
Over the course of prototyping, Howard and Don interacted with numerous engineers and designers before finally settling on a patent pending ball-hinge-joint construction that is entirely unique to Stealth. The innovative composition allows the board to tilt right, left, forward and also pivot. And as Howard says, it's rather different than a traditional wobble board. "You could plank on a wobble board," Howard explains, "but it's much different than if you had a ball and pivot, because if you try to move forward, you'll slide. So we had to have something that was fixed on the bottom. It looks like it's simple to put together, but we went through 20 or 30 modifications to get the right feel. It's been a monumental challenge." While there were initial plans to possibly build a screen directly into the Stealth board, that idea was scrapped in favor of, as Howard assures, a one-size-fits-all smartphone slot that can accommodate most devices, even large phones like the iPhone 7 Plus.
But as we now know, Stealth isn't just an exercise board—it's also a video game. And from what I've gathered talking to Howard, it seems that he's done his homework. "I interviewed dozens of game designers and game developers, negotiating their fees, [researching] whether they were in the country or out of the country. Our goal was to have Stealth manufactured and developed in the US. So we were able to find US game designers and went through dozens of concepts before we settled on what's called Core Challenge, which comes free with [Stealth]." Howard says that the app development fee alone was somewhere between $60K and $100K.

Facebook Shares Take a Hard Hit in the Aftermath of Cambridge Analytica "Data Breach" Scandal
Facebook shares fell in excess of 6 percent following media reports that Cambridge Analytica had gained illegal access to data of 50 million users to help Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign
Facebook witnessed a sharp dip in its share value in the wake of the massive "data breach" scandal involving British political consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica. The company, reportedly, misused information inappropriately gained from 50 million Facebook users to manipulate its client Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Cambridge Analytica, however, has denied any wrongdoing on its part in regard to the alleged breach.
According to Facebook, Aleksandr Kogan, a Cambridge University professor, used an app on its platform to collect information from 270,000 Facebook users on the pretext of a "personality test" – which the users volunteered for – and then, in a clear breach of trust, shared the data with Cambridge Analytica, which, in turn, used it to unfairly benefit Trump's 2016 campaign. Not only that, Kogan even shared the data of the volunteers' friends. The news was first reported by the New York Times.
"The claim that this is a data breach is completely false," Facebook vice president and General Counsel Paul Grewal said on Saturday. "Aleksandr Kogan requested and gained access to information from users who chose to sign up to his app, and everyone involved gave their consent. People knowingly provided their information, no systems were infiltrated, and no passwords or sensitive pieces of information were stolen or hacked."
The alleged breach has not gone down well with both U.S. and U.K. authorities.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey made it clear through online posts that an investigation into the blatant breach was being initiated, while British Parliament member Damian Collins has indicated that he would be speaking to Analytica head Alexander Nix to testify as to why he had incorrectly told the MPs in February that his company had not accessed user data from Facebook.
#BREAKING: Massachusetts residents deserve answers immediately from Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. We are launching an investigation. https://t.co/wjqmHa6zjm
— Maura Healey (@MassAGO) March 17, 2018
I will shortly be asking an Urgent Question about Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. Watch live here: https://t.co/bNhLmPOPp4 https://t.co/yDlCxZTxMm
— Damian Collins (@DamianCollins) March 19, 2018
Collins also made it clear that Mark Zuckerberg will be called on to testify on the possibility of the social media manipulation having influenced the 2016 Brexit vote.
House Intelligence committee top Democrat Adam Schiff has demanded that Analytica be "thoroughly investigated" and has said that Facebook must explain how and why information of millions of users ended up with Kogan, who then made it available to Analytica.
While the Republican majority on the House intelligence committee has arrived at the conclusion that there was no Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, Schiff has denounced the decision, saying that the Democratic minority would continue its crusade against such activity in the interest of the nation.
"This raises serious questions about the level of detail that Cambridge Analytica knew about users, whether it acquired that information illegally and whether it sought to abuse that information in support of President Trump's political campaign in the United States or Brexit in the United Kingdom," Schiff reportedly told the Guardian.
"The company has repeatedly touted its ability to influence voters through 'psychographic' targeting and has claimed it was the fundamental reason that Donald Trump won the 2016 election.
Indeed, it may be that through Cambridge Analytica, the Trump campaign made use of illegitimately acquired data on millions of Americans in order to help sway the election," he added.
Facebook has suspended the account of whistleblower Chris Wylie and his former employer Cambridge Analytica and its associates, as well as the academic Kogan from its platform, "pending further investigation."
Wylie, however, has said that it wasn't fair of Facebook to publicly attack him when he was actually trying to help in the investigations into the breach, accusing the social site of having knowledge of all that was happening, and yet sitting on the matter for two years.
"They acknowledged my offer but then turned around and shot the messenger. I'm trying to make amends for my mistakes and so should Facebook," Wylie is believed to have told the Guardian.
"Facebook has known about this for at least two years and did almost nothing to fix it. This is not new. And it's only by coming forward that Facebook is now taking action. People need to know this kind of profiling is happening."
Damian Collins has been scathing in his attack on Facebook, calling for additional information from the tech giant in regards to the breach and the circumstances surrounding it.
"Data has been taken from Facebook users without their consent and was then processed by a third party and used to support their campaigns. Facebook knew about this, and the involvement of Cambridge Analytica with it," he said.
We need to hear from people who can speak about Facebook from a position of authority that requires them to know the truth," said Collins. "Someone has to take responsibility for this. It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to stop hiding behind his Facebook page."
It was only Nix who lied in front of the parliamentary inquiry last month, but Facebook representatives also denied the fact that Analytica had access to and used confidential user data.
However, while justifying its decision to suspend Analytica and Wylie, Facebook admitted to knowing about the breach in 2015.
"In 2015, we learned that a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us and violated our 'platform policies' by passing data from an app that was using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica," the Facebook statement said.
Collins has openly accused the social networking giant of "deliberately avoiding answering straight questions" in its testimony to the investigating committee.
"We think this episode is another indication of systemic problems at Facebook," said Brian Wieser, an analyst at New York-based brokerage Pivotal Research Group. However, he does not foresee any immediate fallout for Facebook in so far as its business is concerned. He says it's unlikely that advertisers would "suddenly change the trajectory of their spending growth on the platform".

Paco's actions lead to the arrest of a suspect trying to break into cars
By: Kim Cung
PORTSMOUTH, Va. - An unlikely hero's actions lead to an arrest of a car thief. Paco, a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix calls the Green Acres and Pinehurst community home.
"We adopted him two years ago in 2014. I originally adopted my other dog and I thought she needed another friend so we got Paco. They`re best of buddies," said Kellie Rey, his owner.
But Paco is very aware of who isn't a buddy to the neighborhood. On Dec. 1 around 3 in the morning, Paco woke up Kellie.
"He kept growling and he started to bark so I got up to look out the window to see what was going on," said Kellie, who spotted someone who wasn't supposed to be there. "He had a hoodie on and he had a backpack, so I watched him and he went down our neighbors driveway and that`s when I decided to call the cops."
Paco's intuition helped Portsmouth Police arrest 26-year-old Shaun Caldwell. He's now charged with vehicular trespass. Police believe iif Paco didn't wake up his owner, then Caldwell would have been successful in committing several robberies.
"He wants to protect his house, his people and his neighbors," said Kellie.
Because of his actions, Paco is now the official mascot for the community watch program.
"I'm a little overwhelmed by all this. I mean I know dogs and I know they try to protect their homes. That's all he was doing and we were just looking out for our neighbors," said Kellie.


The Modern Coral, Cynarina lacrymalis, also known as the Button Coral, Meat Polyp Coral, Doughnut Coral, Tooth Coral, Cynarina Doughnut Coral, Teary Eye Coral, Flat Brain Coral and Knob Coral, is a great beginner coral for its ease of care and interesting morphology. It features a single, large, colorful, translucent polyp that may easily rupture. It is peaceful and best kept on a thick sandy substrate. They will readily take a carnivorous diet on top of their photosynthetic habits. The Modern Coral is a wonderful addition to most tanks as it is incredibly flexible in what it is able to be kept with.


Three of nature guides including me guided around 60 elementary school students today.
Around 6km walking from Narusawa Hyoketsu (Ice Cave), Koyo Dai, Sanko Dai and Saiko Minshuku village.
5th grade students aged either 10 or 11 enjoyed short hiking.
No good view of Mt. Fuji and steep descent from Sanko Dai.
Would you like to try Houtou Noodle as specialty from Yamanashi?
Yuji was great for our 2 days in Tokyo. He was always prompt, attentive and courteous to all of us (group of 5 adults) and made any adjustments to our itinerary we requested. Communication was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and made sure we were well informed. Highly recommended.
My son could not have had a better guide or person take him to the top of Mt. Fuji! He watched over his safety and made the entire experience one he will never forget! He stayed in contact with us from the time he was booked and kept us informed on conditions and everything that was needed! We will recommend him to anyone coming to Japan!
Yuji was very meticulous and helpful. He gave us a lot of sound advice during the trip. We enjoyed his tour very much. Would definitely look for him again if we need a guide next time.

Чідамбарам або Чепаук () — стадіон для крикету в Ченнаї (колишній Мадрас), Індія.

Стадіон був заснований в 1916 році і є найстарішим постійно діючим стадіоном для крикету в країні. Був названий в честь М. А. Чидамбарама, колишнього президента ради контролю за крикетом Індії, раніше стадіон був відомий як мадраський клуб із крикету. Це домашній майданчик команди Таміл Наду, а також найбільш успішної команди індійської прем'єр ліги Ченай Супер Кінгс.

10 лютого 1934 року на стадіоні Чепаук був зіграний перший Тестовий матч, а перший матч чемпіонату «Ранжи Трофи» був зіграний в 1936 році, і в 1952 році, вперше, індійська команда із крикету отримала перемогу над Англією. В 1986 році на стадіоні Чепаук був зіграний матч між Індією та Австралією, який був другим по «Тайд Тест» крикету в історії гри.

Вболівальники Чепаука визнанні найвідданішими вболівальниками в своїй країні. Фанати стоячи аплодували Саїду Анвару, який набрав максимальні 194 очка в «ODI» матчі проти Індії. Вболівальники також оцінили перемогу Пакистану в Тестовому матчі в 1999 році, після чого пакистанська команда зробила коло пошани, на знак вдячності спортивній поведінці глядачів.

Розташування
Стадіон знаходиться в Чепауці, уздовж Бенгальської затоки в декількох сотнях метрів від пляжу Марина. Майданчик простирається з Валажах Роуд на півночі, Бабу Жакжіванрам Роуд на заході до Пікрофтс Роуд на півдні. Зі східним кордоном стадіону межує залізничний вокзал Чепаука, який розташовується на відрізку Ченайскої транспортної системи Ченай Біч — Тірумаілай. Прилягаючи до північної частини стадіону тече річка Коум.

Видатні події
 4 листопада 1934 відбувся перший матч чемпіонату «Ранжи Трофі» між командами «Мадрас» і «Місоре». Гравець команди «Мадрас» М. Ж. Гопалан зробив першу подачу Н. Куртісу.
 У 1952 році, під час 24 гри, була зафіксована перша перемога Індії в Тестовому матчі проти Англії.
 Другий в історії крикету «Тайд Тест» матч був зіграний між Індією та Австралією в 1986 році
 У 1983 році Суніл Гаваскар заробив свою тридцяту сотню, граючи в Тестових матчах, таким чином, він побив рекорд Дона Брадмана за кількістю зароблених сотень.
 8 воріт Нарендра Хірвані для 61 забігу в матчі проти Вест-Індії в січні 1988 року, стали найкращими боулінговими фігурами зробленими індійцями в дебютному Тестовому матчі, і третіми в цілому. Станом на грудень 2014 року, Хірвані єдиний індійський гравець в крикет, що розбив 10 або більше воріт в дебютному Тестовому матчі. Фігури Хірвані з 16 воріт для 136 забігів, є рекордом всіх дебютний матчів в крикет.
 Пакистанець Саїд Анвар, в «ODI» матчі проти Індії 1997 року, заробив 194 очки, найбільшу кількість очок на той час.
 15 жовтня 2004 року, Шейн Варн перевершив Мутіаха Муралітхарана, чий рекорд становив 532 воріт, і став гравцем в крикет, що розбив найбільшу кількість воріт за весь час.
 Вірендер Сехваг заробив 319 очок у матчі проти Південної Африки в серії домашніх ігор в квітні 2008 року, під час першого Тестового матчу, з попаданням 300 з 278 куль, таким чином, ця потрійна сотня, є найшвидшою в історії крикету. Сехваг став тільки третім відбиваючим після Дональда Брадмена і Браяна Лара, який заробив 2 потрійні сотні в Тестових матчах. Він зробив 257 пробіжки на третій день матчу, це найкращий результат за кількістю пробіжок за один день з 1954 року, тоді Денніс Комптон зробив 273 пробіжки на другий день Тестового чемпіонату Ноттінгем проти Пакистану.
 Сачін Тендулкар зробив більше пробіжок на стадіоні Чепаук, ніж на будь-якому іншому стадіоні Індії з результатом в 876 пробіжок за дев'ять Тестових матчів, із середнім результатом в 87.60.
 22 березня 2001 року під час матчу «Бордер Гаваскар Трофі», Індія, розбивши 2 воріт, завдала поразки Австралії. Подальша перемога Індії в Калькутті обірвала переможну серію Австралії, яка складалася з 16 Тестових матчів.
 Четверта серія індійських подач (387/4) у першому Тестовому матчі проти Англії, який відбувся в грудні 2008 року, стала найуспішнішою серією подач серед Тестових матчів в Індії.

Досягнення
 Англія, в матчі з Індією в 1985 році, зафіксувала найкращий результат за очками (652-7д) на майданчику. Індія встановила рекорд за найменшою кількістю очок на майданчику (83), в результаті обмежень Англії. Суніл Гаваскар (1018 пробіжок), встановив рекорд по пробіжкач на стадіоні Чидамбарам в Тестових матчах, за ним розташувалися Сачін Тендулкар і Гундаппа Вішвататх з кількістю пробіжок відповідно 876 і 785. Аніл Кумбле розбив найбільшу кількість воріт (48) в тестових матчах, за ним ідуть Капіл Дев і Харбхажан Сінгх відповідно 40 і 39 воріт.
 Найкращий результат за очками був досягнутий Пакистаном в 1997 році, коли Пакистан заробив 327-5, Індія відповіла з результатом в 292 очки, що є третім результатом на стадіоні Чидамбарам. Другий за очками результат був встановлений Індією 22 жовтня 2015 в матчі проти Південної Африки, який вона успішно відстояла. Результат в 289-4, є четвертим і був він встановлений Австралією в матчі проти Нової Зеландії. Ювраж Сінгх зробив найбільшу кількість пробіжок серед «ODI» матчів, а саме 255. Мохаммед Рафік збив найбільшу кількість воріт (14), наступним йде Ажіт Агаркар, найкращий індійський гравець за кількістю збитих воріт.

Реставрація та модернізація
У червні 2009 року, вартість реконструкційних робіт склала 175 000 000 рупій (26 млн доларів США). План включав споруду трьох нових залізобетонних трибун, позначених як I, J і K, місткістю 10 000 глядачів, а також 24 конференц-зали під напівпрозорими дахами, які являють собою мембрану з фторопластового волокна. Лондонська компанія архітекторів «Хопкінс» і Ченайская компанія архітекторів «Натараж & Венкат» уклали контракт з Асоціацією по крикету Таміл Наду. Реставрація була завершена в 2011 році і старий покрівельний матеріал разом з колонами, які в старому стадіоні загороджували панораму, замінені на легку, чотирикутну, конусну покрівлю, яка з'єднується тросами.

На даний час, стадіон може вмістити 38 000 глядачів, число яких буде збільшено до 42000. Трибуни стоять під кутом в 36 градусів, що дозволяє морському бризу повністю продувати майданчик.

31 березня 2015 колегія Верховного суду, що складалася з суддів Ранжана Годої і Р. В. Рамана, встановила, що проведена реконструкція порушує правила громадської безпеки. Суд постановив, що небезпечні місця відреставрованого стадіону повинні бути знесені. Поки не закінчиться знесення, і не будуть видані відповідні дозволи, суд постановив залишити трибуни I, J, K опечатаними.

Day to Night is a spectacular ongoing series by fine art photographer Stephen Wilkes featuring urban landscapes that transcend the confines of time by presenting day and night shots of iconic cityscapes in one image. Using up to 1,500 images from a 15-hour shoot day (from sunrise to sunset), Wilkes takes about a month to edit his shots into one composite image that reveals the gradience of time.
Each photo manipulation presents a striking look at a major city from the crack of dawn till nightfall. As natural sunlight washes over the brilliant, booming landscape and recedes to allow the artificial glow of the architecture and streetlights to take over the night sky, we're given a sense of each city's appeal throughout the course of a day. There's also a rich sense of history and culture captured through the passage of time, reflected in each seamlessly transitioning shot.
The photographer says, "The images are so layered; there are so many elements that I love about the medium: Street, history, people environment, narrative, and storytelling. I'm drawn to cities that have not only fantastic architecture, but also fascinating street life. The human narrative is the subtext in a lot of my photographs, so the more you look at it, the more you are going to discover." Having already taken on some of the biggest cities—including New York City, Washington DC, and Shanghai—Wilkes looks forward to adding the iconic cityscapes of Chicago, London, and Paris to the growing series.

Q: How do you resample upscale an image using wasm-vips? wasm-vips is a browser/node wrapper for libvips
Goals:
Using wasm-vips

*

*Upscale image using interpolator such as lanzcos3 or nohalo

*In the upscale method pass in a buffer instead of reading the image from a file

Example reading an image
 const vips = await Vips();

    let im = vips.Image.newFromFile('in.jpg');

But I do not know the function and properties I need to use to resample my image to 2017x2017
It looks like I need to use vips.affine as shown in the vips docs.  https://www.libvips.org/API/current/libvips-resample.html#vips-affine
The wasm-vips has the affine method  im.affine() but I don't know how to specify the interpolater such as lanzcos3.  I also want to pass in a uint8array instead of reading an image from a file directly.
Thanks,
Dan

A: I would guess:
im.resize(2017 / im.width, {kernel: 'lanczos3'})

And I'd look at newFromMemory to read from a uint8 array. Ask on the wasm-vips issue tracker:

Florida History: The Tampa Mafia (Part Three) [VIDEO]
The Land Journal
The Land Journal recently sat down with Scott M. Deitche, author of Cigar City Mafia, to talk about the history of organized crime in Tampa. For Part One of this series, click here.
Deitche continued his interview by describing the era of the Tampa Mafia that was defined by Santo Trafficante Jr. Upon the death of his father in 1944, Santo Trafficante Jr. dominated the Tampa crime organization through the 40's and 50's. Internal factions within Tampa's criminal underworld continued to vie for power, and a number of shootings took place. Trafficante Jr. himself was wounded during a shooting in Ybor City in 1953, but survived.
Trafficante Jr. had a number of run-in's with law enforcement, including being arrested while attending a meeting in New York of all of the major heads of organized crime throughout the country. Trafficante Jr. gave a false name, and was not jailed.
Trafficante Jr. was also subpoenaed by the New York District Attorney in connection to the death of a mobster that had met with Trafficante the night before his death. However, later evidence shows that Trafficante most likely had nothing to do with the killing.
Deitche then went on to describe the connection between Fidel Castro and Santo Trafficante Jr. Trafficante Jr. was heavily invested in casinos in Cuba. so when Castro took over, many assumed that he would arrest all of the casino owners and shut down the casinos. Castro had Trafficante briefly put in prison in January of 1959, but eventually Trafficante was released. Years earlier, Castro had come to Tampa to do fundraising. Castro had been receiving supplies and funding through the Trafficantes. By giving to both Batista and Castro, the Trafficantes were hoping to have favor no matter who ended up controlling Cuba.
While Trafficante Jr. was imprisoned in Cuba he was visited by Jack Ruby, the Dallas nightclub owner that would go on to kill Lee Harvey Oswald a day after Oswald had assassinated President Kennedy. This has caused speculation among conspiracy theorists that the Kennedy and Oswald shootings were orchestrated by members of the Mafia.
For more information on the life of Trafficante Jr., check out our interview with Scott M. Dietche below.

The South Florida location have fully eco friendly, now we are showing water front building with romantic landscape.This is classical European garden design as tropical plants due to looking smart and mind blowing view. The flat view is very incredible water view as inside fully green space as inside red color flower.
Terry Rakolta has no trouble reeling off words to describe what she desired for her South Florida waterfront property, a wedge-shaped half-acre mostly swallowed up by a Mediterranean-style villa.
Achieving this sublime vision fell to the Palm Beach-based landscape architecture firm of Sanchez & Maddux, known for their synthesis of classical European garden design elements with exotic tropical plants.


AUTOMATON is an experimental exploration of video and sound installation in space. Each vinyl banner strung in the space presents an automated film which has be reconstructed in a number of sequences showing the artist performing to the viewer. The films have no set sequence and lack narrative, however distinctly transform the existing space through their overly stimulating motion visuals and sound. The performer moves to automated sounds, far removed from its original soundscape in a mechanical and at times humorous manner. As the installation lacks structural narrative, the infinite performance becomes a control mechanism designed to follow a predetermined sequence of operations.
During the process of AUTOMATON, Sophia D'Urso collaborated with Travis Don to explore the process of Sound Design and Film. Together they experimented with a wide range of recording techniques, audio engineer processes and technical mishaps. Through the process of interdisciplinary collaboration they were able to produce a synthetic soundscape for the project.
Sophia D'Urso is a multi disciplinary artist who primarily works within installation, sound and film. She is interested in the structure of space, often working within site responsive environments and performance. She is currently undertaking the Artist in Residence Program at Courthouse Youth Arts and will be partaking in Geelong After Dark on May 3.
Travis Don is a tech-head and musician who completed his certificate of Advance Diploma in Sound Production in 2016. He has worked in venues such as the Regent Theatre in Melbourne, and is the current Production Technician at Courthouse Youth Arts. He is currently involved as head beat maker in two bands in Geelong and Ballarat and has been enjoying collecting an array of gear for his studio.

GE's Marine Solutions has been chosen by Asmar Shipyards to provide an integrated marine propulsion system for the Chilean Navy's new Antarctic icebreaking Polar Class vessel. It will replace the retired icebreaker to continue the Navy's Antarctic expedition for search and rescue missions, scientific research, logistics support and resupplying bases in the Chilean Antarctic Territory.
The 110m-long vessel will be powered and propelled by GE's full marine propulsion system, including diesel-electric propulsion; GE's International Maritime Organization Tier 3-compliant diesel engine, which reduces emissions up to 70%; a complete propulsion shaft line and propeller; a tunnel thruster; SeaLyte dynamic positioning; and vessel automation system.
The vessel has received Lloyd's Register PC 5 Polar Class notation, reflecting its icebreaking capability. With an installed power of 14.5MW, it will be capable of breaking 1m of ice at 3kts.
"The ice-going capabilities require the machinery on board the vessel, such as the main propulsion, to be highly robust to ensure the safety and survivability of the vessel. That is not all. Given the vessel's specific mission profile, we are also looking for clean propulsion technology that will meet the requirements of the highly stringent environment regulations in the Antarctic area. GE's one-stop solution is the answer to all these challenges," said Lieutenant Commander Jorge Maldonado, project manager for the Chilean Navy.


PSD2 has been a thoroughly discussed topic over the past year and it will remain so. However, more banks have been pro-actively opening up their core banking services to third parties and the disintermediation has begun. This further accentuates the need to invest in new product innovation and client services, which will further accelerate the cooperation between banks and challengers and even the consolidation of the industry.
The "unbanked" represent a vast opportunity for banks to reach out to and offer bespoke service to. Fintech and digitalization of finance represent a lowering client acquisition cost and the opportunity to truly diversify audiences and tailor service to new clientele, both in countries such as the US where large demographics still lack access to bank accounts and credit facilities to emerging markets with large potential.
During the year of 2016, evaluations into the use of the decentralized technology were vast and in 2017, pilots will be replaced by working prototypes in financial services institutions. While no one knows their success, it is clear the discussion between a closed up black box financial system and the promise of a decentralized, distributed and 'incorruptible' ledgering system bring two philosophies at odds with one another to the table.
Through the work toward efficiency in financial systems, organizations have been able to lower the cost of origination, capital acquisition and deal making. This allows organizations to diversify into new product lines and deal with new client segments in new ways. What this also underscores, is the trend toward more corporate efficiency and shapes value chains internally in the organizations. This trend will continue to shake up roles to drive human competence into the areas where it can have the most profound impact and conversely, away from areas where tasks are repetitive and mundane.
From our work with institutions around the world, we can see that challengers will be met with institutional level competition and partnerships. Consolidation aside, competition will emerge with blue chip company brands staking a claim to market and attracting client interest from millions of existing clients. Segments will include vertical domains such as private company crowd funding, real estate syndication and peer to peer services. We believe this will serve as a further catalyst toward market development and long term holistic viability.
Crowd Valley would like to wish its clients, partners and stakeholders the most sincere year end greetings and share our enthusiasm for the future. Together we are privileged to work with an ecosystem re-imagining itself in practice and see the clear exertions from stakeholders small and large toward seeing a more user-centric, inclusive and transparent financial market emerge. Each step of the journey is important, and we see that leaps are being made in the market and expect a great many results with a profound impact to be rolled out in the coming years.


now. This week has dragged a little. We've both been a little sick to our stomachs, not sure if it's something we ate, but it's like off and on and seems to be pretty much gone! Our investigator Moisés wasn't able to make it to church because his job hours changed. He works some days from 7:30am-11pm at 2 different restaurants. Most people we've met have to work two jobs to pay rent on a small apartment. Like this one Armenian guy stopped us on the street and said he was renting out an apartment for a good deal and to tell the people in charge of our mission haha. But he said it was "only 1100 a month" for 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (no kitchen). I can just imagine how much it costs to rent s nicer apartment!! We've been working on finding more people to teach and meet with our investigators more. People just keep canceling appointments. It's a little frustrating sometimes but it's ok. We've been working on trying to contact more people as well. I don't really remember specifics of what happened this week and I forgot my journal so this might be kinda short too haha.
somewhere or the time to print them off.
I love you lots and lots.
approved, which we probably won't...but we'll see.
get home because 55 degrees last night felt like 20 haha.
line or something. The office told us we'd have to call the manager to have it fixed, but we don't have a number for them so we're just without an oven.
the marvelous blessings that are yours to be received there" Gordon B.

Miss you and love you lots.
here. We had a fun christmas party.
run on Tuesday morning. Partially uphill...I thought I was gonna die.
bundling up. I never thought I'd say 60 degrees feels cold haha.
I love you so much and I'm excited to talk to you in 3 days!!!

Q: Why would a C# method return an abstract class? I'm writing a library and one which returns a response object.  I like to look at a few examples e.g. how MSFT does this.
I looked at Azure BlobClient delete method which returns Azure.Response() object which itself is marked as abstract yet I can use the Response object like any instantiated object.
var response = blobClient.Delete(...)
if(response.Status ==206)
{
    etc

I don't understand the implementation - this delete method (which is virtual on the BlobClientBase base class but does not appear to be overridden by BlobClient) returns an abstract class.
Q: how could it have been instantiated so that I use that directly?  Likely I'm missing a bit of OO theory here - thanks in advance for any insight.
From BlobClientBase metadata...
public class BlobBaseClient
{
...
public virtual Response Delete(DeleteSnapshotsOption snapshotsOption = DeleteSnapshotsOption.None, BlobRequestConditions conditions = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

From Azure.Storage.Blobs metadata...
public class BlobClient : BlobBaseClient

The definition of Response is below,  I assume abstract means Response as it stands is missing some implementation (e.g. its own abstract properties and methods).
From Azure.Core metadata....
public abstract class Response : IDisposable
{
    protected Response();

    public abstract int Status { get; }
    public abstract string ReasonPhrase { get; }
    public abstract Stream? ContentStream { get; set; }
    public abstract string ClientRequestId { get; set; }
    public virtual ResponseHeaders Headers { get; }
    public static Response<T> FromValue<T>(T value, Response response);
    public abstract void Dispose();
    public override string ToString();
    protected internal abstract bool ContainsHeader(string name);
    protected internal abstract IEnumerable<HttpHeader> EnumerateHeaders();
    protected internal abstract bool TryGetHeader(string name, [NotNullWhen(true)] out string? value);
    protected internal abstract bool TryGetHeaderValues(string name, [NotNullWhen(true)] out IEnumerable<string>? values);
}

A: The abstract class Response is the return type of the method, not the type of the returned instance. You can define an abstract class as the return type, but what you need to return is a concrete implementation that is inheriting from the abstract class.
abstract class Abstract {}

class Concrete : Abstract {}

Abstract MyMethod() {
   return new Concrete();
}

A: it occurs to me that when receiving an abstract class you could implement your own response, overwriting the existing methods or inheriting them as well. If it was an interface instead of an abstract class, you wouldn't be able to get the result after executing the delete. Lucky

ANKENY, IOWA - APC, Inc. last week released results of a research study conducted by Dr. Josie Coverdale, associate professor of equine science at Texas A&M University. Dr. Coverdale presented the abstract at the 2014 Joint Annual Meeting of the American Society of Animal Science, which was held in Kansas City, MO, July 20-24.
The gait kinematics study measured stride length and knee range of motion with increasing dosage of serum-based bioactive proteins (LIFELINE BioThriveTM) in exercised horses. The response strongly suggests that the horses in the study experienced healthy joint function and/or comfort while on LIFELINE BioThriveTM.
"Horses undergoing the stress of training and performance may experience inflammation which can have a cascading effect leading to joint soreness," said Dr. Josie Coverdale, associate professor of equine science at Texas A&M University. "This study suggests that bioactive proteins could play a major role in supporting joint health, which in turn supports joint comfort and mobility in performance horses of all ages and disciplines."
In the 28-day double-blind study, 30 mature Quarter horses ranging in age from 5 to 22 years and weighing 968 to 1,508 pounds were blocked by age and body weight and randomly assigned to treatment. Treatment consisted of no pellets administered, pellets containing 66 grams (low dose) of bioactive proteins administered daily, and pellets containing 132 grams (high dose) of bioactive proteins administered daily. Each horse was exercised five days each week for approximately 60 minutes each day, with exercise focusing on horsemanship skills at the walk, trot and canter.
Gait analysis video was collected on Days 0, 14 and 28. At Day 14, enhanced front and hind limb stride length was observed with increasing levels of bioactive proteins. Similarly, at Day 28 enhanced front and hind limb stride length was also observed with increasing levels of bioactive proteins. Additionally, at Days 14 and 28, enhanced knee range of motion was observed with increasing levels of bioactive proteins.
"We are excited that the Texas A&M study results confirm what we are hearing from product users, that horses on BioThriveTM were experiencing optimal joint function and comfort as they went through their daily exercise regimen," said Jennifer Whetzel, APC, Inc. Director of Marketing. "APC has conducted more than 300 studies in multiple species on the effects of our serum-based bioactive proteins and have consistently seen that they support normal immune function and an efficient inflammatory response in animals experiencing illness or stress."

36 governors to meet Buhari over Borno killings, others
• Seek end to ASUU strike, reopening of universities
By Eric Ikhilae, Abuja
The 36 state governors have resolved to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari "as soon as possible to address security challenges across the country, particularly in the light of the carnage in Borno State".
The governors took the decision at the 22nd meeting of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) held on Wednesday.
They had been briefed by the delegation they sent to commiserate with Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on December 1, 2020, over the killing of more than 40 rice farmers in Garin Kwashebe in Jere Local Government Area of the state.
The victims were harvesting rice when the terrorists unexpectedly pounced on them, killing them in gruesome manner.
The terror sect has since claimed responsibility for the massacre, claiming that the farmers once arrested one of its members and handed him over to the authorities.
The NGF, in a communiqué issued in Abuja on Friday, also elected to support the necessary reforms that will result in a police force that works for all.

"As an immediate to medium-term measure, members agreed to pay close attention to the conduct of police officers across the country in order to get them and other internal security operatives fully back to work as they have not been functioning to full capacity since the EndSARS protests with the attendant security exposure to the safety of lives and properties of the ordinary citizens," they said.
The governors also discussed the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) industrial action and urged the Federal Government and the union to urgently resolve their differences to allow for immediate reopening of the nation's tertiary institutions.
They asked both sides to "hasten the implementation of the truce elements in their resolutions so as to allow schools reopen immediately."
They faulted the practice where the Federal Government is currently collecting stamp duties, insisting that stamp duties "belong primarily to states and the various collection platforms are channels of payment to the states; while aligning with the guidance provided by its lawyers and experts."
The governors also endorsed the two proposals canvassing infrastructure development by both the Governor Nasir el Rufai Committee and the Central Bank Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele.
The el-Rufai's Adhoc Committee Leverage Portion of Accumulated Pension Funds for Investment in Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) is proposing the creation of a National Infrastructure Investment Fund (NIIF) such that a total sum of N2 trillion at 9% interest can be accessed through the NSIA.
The Governors' Forum Chairman, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, told the meeting about a similar proposal by the CBN Governor to enable states access N15 trillion naira for national infrastructure funding through INFRACREDIT at a lower interest rate of 5%.
The governors agreed to keep active and operational the State COVID -19 Task Force Teams and Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) in addition to ensuring the prompt release of funds as outlined in the State Incidence Action Plans (IAP).
They also agreed to keep temporary treatment centres open, ensure ramping up COVID-19 testing across the country and support the planned "COVID-19 Testing Week' to be launched by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.
The governors expressed their commitment to achieving the second Eligibility Criteria (EC) requirement of publishing online their approved FY21 Annual State Budget prepared under the National Chart of Accounts by January 31, 2021.
Besides, they restated their commitment to implementing reforms associated with the programme, including the deployment of a Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to support effective land administration and an efficient property tax system and resolved to inaugurate the NGF-NESG Economic Roundtable (NNER) Steering Committee, whose technical committee is to commence the implementation of the strategic plan, which includes but not limited to the national mapping of sub-national endowments, global mapping of sub-national entities for global competitiveness and development of competitiveness toolkits.

But the statement by the Israeli ambassador did not acknowledge that the Security Council was not criticizing Jewish presence in the city of Jerusalem, but was instead challenging a unilateral action by the state of Israel, backed by the United States, to take over territory through the use of military force and expand Israel's (never declared) borders while pushing out, killing and denying the presence of the indigenous Palestinian population.
As Juan Cole pointed out in 2010 in his synopsis of the history of the city of Jerusalem, "The Assyrians conquered Jerusalem in 722. The Babylonians took it in 597 and ruled it until they were themselves conquered in 539 BCE by the Achaemenids of ancient Iran, who ruled Jerusalem until Alexander the Great took the Levant in the 330s BCE. Alexander's descendants, the Ptolemies ruled Jerusalem until 198 when Alexander's other descendants, the Seleucids, took the city. With the Maccabean Revolt in 168 BCE, the Jewish Hasmonean kingdom did rule Jerusalem until 37 BCE, though Antigonus II Mattathias, the last Hasmonean, only took over Jerusalem with the help of the Parthian dynasty in 40 BCE. Herod ruled 37 BCE until the Romans conquered what they called Palestine in 6 CE (CE= 'Common Era' or what Christians call AD).
The Romans and then the Eastern Roman Empire of Byzantium ruled Jerusalem from 6 CE until 614 CE when the Iranian Sasanian Empire Conquered it, ruling until 629 CE when the Byzantines took it back.
As the late Edward Said noted in 2011, "The Zionist claim to the land is one claim among many others. Certainly the Arabs have a much greater claim because they have a longer history of inhabitance, of actual residence in Palestine than the Jews did…..If you look at history, you'll see that the actual Israelite inhabitance in Palestine, in the Old Testament, amounted to about 200 to 250 years. But there were Mallebites, there were Jebusites, there were Canaanites, there were Philistines, there were many other people in Palestine at the time and before and after. And to isolate one of the claims and say that's THE claim, that is the real owner of the land — that's fundamentalism…Because the only way you can back it up is to say 'God gave it to us'.
Political bureau member of Hamas Husam Badran on Sunday dubbed a projected visit by the U.S. Vice President, Mike Pence, to the Buraq Wall a provocation to the Palestinian people.
According to Badran, the visit comes as part of U.S. and Israeli intents to impose a new fait accompli on the city following the U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Badran called on the Palestinians across the occupied territories to escalate protests and uprisings at all flashpoints with the Israeli occupation particularly near Jerusalem and al-Aqsa in protest at underway attempts by, the U.S. administration-backed, Israel to Judaize the city.
Badran vowed that the Palestinians will never ever forfeit a single inch of occupied Jerusalem no matter the stakes and challenges.
The Hamas leader hailed the Palestinian martyrs, injured protests, and prisoners who have stood so firm throughout the anti-occupation struggle, urging the Palestinians to combine forces so as to defend Occupied Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque.
Senior Trump administration officials outlined their view Friday that Jerusalem's Buraq Wall (Western Wall) ultimately will be declared a part of Israel, in another move that has enflamed tension across the Middle East and other parts of the world.
Historical records, however, prove that the Buraq Wall is part and parcel of holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
The League of Arab States on Sunday announced the formation of Arab ministerial delegation to work at the diplomatic and media levels to address the repercussions of the US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocate the US embassy to the occupied city.
In a statement, the League said that the committee comprises the foreign ministers of Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, the UAE and the Arab League secretary general.
The delegation is scheduled to hold its first meeting in Amman early next week.
Each of Bari, Florence, Trento, and Bergamo cities of Italy witnessed on Sunday protests and sit-ins in condemnation of the US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The events were attended by Palestinian and Islamic communities in the country along with sympathetic Italian citizens.
In a press statement, the communities announced their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their just cause. They stressed the importance of respecting the international legitimacy and the rights of people to self-determination.
The statement asked the international community to support the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation and called for recognizing the State of Palestine.
Millions of people around the world have taken to the streets over recent days, condemning a decision by the U.S. President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Tens of thousands rallied in the Turkish capital, Ankara, as they expressed their strong condemnation of Trump's move.
Angry protests have also been staged across Arab and Islamic countries, namely Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon, and Malaysia in support for the Palestinian cause and Occupied Jerusalem.
The rally-goers urged the government to boycott Israeli and U.S. products and to never recognize Israel as a legitimate entity.
At the same time, tens of thousands marched in Karachi, south of Pakistan, calling for anti-U.S. moves so as to pressure the U.S. administration to backtrack on its latest decision.
Demonstrations also swept the metropolitan city of London and Manchester in protest at Trump's biased step.
Representatives of Jewish-American groups flocked to the White House, where they yelled chants lashing out at Trump and calling for ending Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and for the U.S. to stop backing the Israeli government.
Trump recently recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and pledged to transfer the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city—home to Muslims' third holiest site, al-Aqsa Mosque—prompting universal condemnation.
Palestinian Authority (PA) ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour stated last Saturday that an Egypt-worded draft resolution on the US capital decision was submitted to the Security Council (SC) to put it to the vote no later than Monday, December 18.
Mansour told a local radio station that he worked together with Egyptian diplomats at the UN on drafting a text that would reaffirm the previous resolutions of the Security Council on Jerusalem and ask the US administration to reverse its step.
Knowing that the bid at the Security Council would certainly be vetoed by the US, the ambassador said the PA would go to the UN General Assembly if the draft resolution was thwarted.
Palestinian activists and citizens organized on Saturday afternoon in Nablus city a protest they called "Dajeej" to express their rejection of the US recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
To create the noise, Church bells were sounded and Mosque loudspeakers were used to chant Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest), while the participants played musical instruments and taxi drivers honked their horns.
The event was held in al-Shuhada area in central Nablus and attended by dozens of citizens. Similar events were also held simultaneously in different areas of Palestine and other cities around the world, according to the organizers.
The Palestinian Youth Movement has called for stepping up protest moves across the occupied Palestinian territories in response to the U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In a Saturday statement, the Youth Movement urged the Palestinian Authority, chaired by Mahmoud Abbas, to opt for serious steps and work on boosting armed resistance and anti-occupation uprisings.
The movement vowed to keep up protest moves in support for Occupied Jerusalem, calling on the Arab and Islamic governments and institutions to break their silence and react to the U.S. biased decision.
The statement mourned the four Palestinian protesters who were killed by the Israeli occupation army during Friday's anti-Trump protests.
On Friday, four Palestinians were fatally shot by the occupation army and over 560 others injured in clashes across 70 flashpoints with the Israeli forces in the West Bank, Occupied Jerusalem, and the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Tension has reached a zenith across the occupied Palestinian territories after Trump recognized, in a Wednesday speech from the White House, Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state and pledged to transfer the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv (territories occupied in 1948) to the historic city—home to Muslims' third holiest site, al-Aqsa Mosque.
Thousands of Palestinians on Saturday participated in a march that kicked off in Jaffa city in 1948 Occupied Palestine in support of Occupied Jerusalem and in protest at the US recognition of the holy city as the capital of Israel.
The protesters carried the Palestinian flags beside Islamic banners and chanted slogans supporting Occupied Jerusalem in addition to others denouncing the US embassy transfer from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
A state of tension and outrage has been prevailing among Palestinians in 1948 Occupied Palestine since the US President Donald Trump recognized Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The US House of Representatives member for Minnesota, Betty McCollum, has demanded that the US taxpayer money must not be used to support the Israeli occupation forces who detain Palestinian children.
The US official said in an article published by The Nation newspaper that Israel is the greatest beneficiary of the US military assistance, part of which flows to Israel's abusive detention of Palestinian children.
McCollum added that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has persisted for decades, including 50 years of Israeli military occupation of Palestinian lands. To help sustain the occupation, Israel's military forces have arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned thousands of Palestinian children mostly for throwing stones.
She explained that children under the age of 12 are taken from their beds at night handcuffed and blindfolded by the Israeli soldiers to the detention centers. Under the Israeli military law, these children are denied access to lawyers during interrogation, and even younger children are regularly denied access to their parents during interrogations.
She concluded by saying, "I firmly believe that Palestinian children deserve to be treated with the same humanity, dignity, and human rights as any child anywhere including children in the US or Israel."
A one million-person march is slated to be held across the blockaded Gaza Strip on Friday to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
According to the National and Islamic Factions' Follow-Up Committee, mass-demos will be held simultaneously in all Gaza provinces, from Rafah to Beit Hanun.
The committee called on the Palestinians to join the march right after Friday's noon prayers, at around 12:30 a.m., and to raise the Palestinian flag in protest at Trump's racist move, which it said contravenes international law and resolutions.
The march comes as part of underway protest moves staged across the occupied Palestinian territories and overseas to speak out against Trump's Wednesday recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, overturning the U.S.-brokered peace process and signaling a green light for altering the long-held status quo in the city—home to Muslims' third holiest site, al-Aqsa Mosque.
Hundreds of Palestinians marched in Umm al-Fahm streets on Thursday evening, protesting US President Donald Trump's recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The protesters raised the Palestinian flag and chanted slogans stressing Palestinians' commitment to Occupied Jerusalem as an exclusively Arab city and the eternal capital of Palestine.
The march dovetails a series of protest moves staged outside the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv against Trump's move.
Arab MKs (lawmakers at the Israeli parliament—Knesset) also announced their decision to boycott a projected speech by the U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, slated to be delivered on Monday.
Another march is expected to be staged on Saturday in Yafa following afternoon prayers at al-Jabaliya Mosque, down to al-Ajami Park.
Over recent days, Israeli police and intelligence forces summoned a number of protesters and activists to questioning over involvement in anti-Trump demos as part of underway attempts to quell simmering protests.
According to Arab 48 news site, the Israeli police in Wadi Ara and Umm al-Fahm arrested six Palestinians who participated in pro-Jerusalem events.
An Israeli court extended the remand of a number of protesters on suspicions of hurling stones at Israeli patrols and buses.
Tens of thousands of protesters flocked to the U.S. Embassy in Greece's capital of Athens, denouncing US President Donald Trump's recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and banners speaking up for Palestinians' right to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its eternal capital.
Activists urged the Greek government to implement the recommendations set forth by the parliament, most notably the recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Greece along with trade union leaders and representatives of the International Trade Union Confederation were in attendance.
Another march is expected to kick off on Friday evening as part of ongoing protests against Trump's move.
Palestine's Ambassador to Greece, Marwan Toubasi, hailed the protesters who have stood firm to the racist and illegal decisions adopted by the incumbent U.S. administration.
The ambassador called on the Greek government to immediately recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian State.
The White House on Thursday announced postponing the upcoming visit of the US Vice President Mike Pence to Israel and Palestine, which was slated on December 19, days after Palestinian officials cancelled plans to meet him.
According to the Hebrew Walla website, the delay decision was made upon request by the White House due to US Congressional votes on tax reforms.
The change of plans comes days after Palestinian people strongly refused meeting with Pence and officials cancelled their meeting with him in the West Bank.
This followed President Donald Trump's decision last week to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel and to move the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
The Hamas Movement has warned that it is time for the Israeli occupation state to pay dearly for its crimes against the Palestinian people and their holy sites.
"Today, we will give a promise and send a warning. We promise our people to achieve victory and we warn this enemy (Israel) that its attacks against our people and holy sites have reached its peak and it is time for it to pay its debts," Hamas stated in a press release issued on its 30th founding anniversary.
"All miserable decisions taken to declare Jerusalem city a capital for the occupation (Israel) are considered stupid and will be doomed to failure," it added.
Hamas called on all factions to share the responsibility of the homeland and work together on protecting the Palestinian rights and national constants and renouncing all forms of security cooperation with the Israeli occupation.
The High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel has called on all Palestinian citizens to participate in the central march to be organized on Friday afternoon in Sakhnin city in the Lower Galilee.
According to a press release on Wednesday, the committee said the march would start from outside al-Nour Mosque in al-Shuhada street and proceed to the Land Day Martyrs Memorial before rallying in the municipality square.
The committee affirmed that the march would send a clear message from the steadfast Arab masses to the US, denouncing its recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The participants in the march will also express their support for the Palestinian people's rights, especially their right to Jerusalem, the capital of their future state.


It is largely up to you as to whether you wish to wallow in solitary sadness on Blue Monday, the supposed most depressing day of the year. Or if you prefer to enjoy yourself.
This truth, the basis of most psychological therapies, means you can choose to believe that today will be wholly depressing – and this becomes a self fulfilling prophecy as you will look out for depressing things so that's what you'll find – or you can choose to believe it will be a happy day in which case you'll find happy things to back this up.
1 – Smile….and the world smiles with you.
When we smile, feel-good chemicals are released into our brains and our bodies relax. Our blood pressure can also be lowered. As smiling is contagious, your happiness can help those around you feel more positive too.
From offering someone a genuine compliment, to giving up your seat on the tube, to donating to charity, there is growing research to show altruistic behavior is linked with a greater sense of wellbeing. So if you are feeling a little blue today, why not do something nice for someone else? It might just pique your positivity.
It's not rocket science – remembering the things and people we are grateful for can make us feel better about ourselves and our lives. It's no surprise then that research has shown when you take time to appreciate what you already have, you feel more positive and optimistic.
And don't forget, if those three techniques fail you, that could be because our environment has a massive impact on our mood. So check out the wellbeing of your neighbourhood here.


The "Definitive Blunt Instrument" as KING OF WORKS was dubbed was finally released on June 29th. Originally it was meant to be only half of the size than it what it turned out, so learning the final shipping cost caused much gnashing of teeth. Disregarding what it'll cost to get this package to you, KING OF WORKS has an amazing amount of content for its price.
Inside the nondescript brown box is the actual KING OF WORKS archive box, containing all the goodies. The black box isn't actually all black, it has faint design illustrations like the covers of the artbooks.
These two softcover volumes contain the full script of the series, with scene notes, cues, and instructions. The scripts seem to have been revised from the original ones that were used for recording because there are adlib marks – those wouldn't be in the originals I think. I've also heard that the original script for episode 1 had the ages of all characters noted down, but I couldn't find them in these scripts.
The scripts seem a bit confusing at first, but there's a reading guide in the beginning, noting what the different sections mean and explanation to some terms used in the script cues.
This book contains illustrations for animation frames. There's a colour coded section for each hero and a section for minor characters, groups and background art. Each illustration also has a code that corresponds to the episode script, so you can try to find the scenes from the script books, too. This book is quite big, and a bit hard to handle because it's softcover. The paper quality is great and I'm afraid my photos aren't doing justice to the pages.
I really loved this book, but if you're not that interested in animation frames, the last one in the box is probably more interesting.
I consider this the main book in KING OF WORKS. This one's the same size as the Original Illustrations Collection, but in hardcover. It contains an incredible amount of concept art and designs for characters and hero suits, background art of interiors and exteriors, and art of props and vehicles. I could imagine a book of this size would cost around 3000 JPY if not even more if sold separately.
The first three sections are in full colour of finished artwork, the last three sections have similar content but in lineart. Some designs are in both finished form and lineart. I thought Katsura's artbook had a lot of content, but this one beats all the other official books so far, not just by amount of content but also the quality. The illustrations are much bigger so you can see detail better. If I were an artist I'd definitely consider this book for reference material.
KING OF WORKS comes with two extras: an illustration specifically drawn for the occasion by Itagaki Tokuhiro (one of the animation directors for the series) and a tabletop calendar that runs from September 2012 to August 2013.
Was it worth paying the insane shipping cost when I already have all the other official books so far? Yeah I think it was. My biggest problem with KING OF WORKS is that I don't know where to store it! It's just so huge.
If you're looking for background information for the episodes, staff and cast interviews or stuff like that, KING OF WORKS is not the right choice. There are no interviews, no articles, no commentary. The art books just have labels for the pictures of the character and which episode it was used in – and in some cases, designs that were not used. For art references, KING OF WORKS is the best choice at the moment. And those who know Japanese will get an added dimension to the series with the scripts.
KING OF WORKS books aren't sold separately, you'll have to get the whole box or try your luck on the aftermarket if you're looking just for a specific one from the set. The ISBN number is for the full set, too, the books don't have individual ISBNs. Most of the usual stores carry KING OF WORKS, I got mine from CDJapan, but Amazon Japan has the cheapest expedited shipping abroad so I recommend using it. I've been told that KING OF WORKS sold over 12 000 copies during the first week, which is really good numbers for anime source books.
KING OF WORKS and its cousins, the other official books.
Can't wait to get mine and cute nail polish btw!
Oh mah gawd I get all these feels when I look at the materials! Another excuse to brush up my Japanese skills! XD I simply cannot wait to hold it in my greedy hands. There's only one problem. *eyes T&B merch stuffed in cabinet* I have absolutely no space!
I know the feel about no space. I need more space too!
Awesome, thank you so much for the pictures and review! Wish I could afford it – perhaps one day!
It's worth keeping an eye out incase you find it discounted somewhere. The biggest expense is really the shipping, though.
I got my copy this week and I'm so glad! (Though I can't read the scripts ^^') Thanks very much for the review!
Damn! Money wasting is worth it in the end! I'm still waiting for my MG FIGURERISE WILD TIGER though, I'm sure there will tons of headaches and confusions thrown into it while building Oji-san!
KOW itself costs 5600 JPY. Shipping… well it depends where you are. Amazon Japan shipping was under 4000 JPY to Europe by DHL. EMS to Europe from CDJapan was almost three times that.
KOW weighs 4,7kg (nearly 10 lbs.) so getting a cheap shipping is something of a miracle.
The parkas I have seen listed only at the manufacturer's webshop. You could try contacting a shopping service for them if the webshop doesn't ship abroad (and if they didn't sell out already).
And I just remembered hearing that some Ameribros have gotten their KOW at Kinokuniya at the States, if there's no Kino near you, you could check if any of your local retailers could import it for you.
Thank you very much! There isn't a Kino nearby (but I sure wish there was), but I'll wait and see. I saw a new Hero Academy sweatshirt on Tumblr that is apparently only $60; sounds much more affordable and easier to fit me, lol.
Thanks for posting this. Just ordered mine yesterday! Can't wait to get it in. Glad they made the calender from Sept 2012 to Aug 2013, CDJapan still says April 2012 to March 2013 so that confused me.
Just saw this at animebooks.com, selling around 100 US dollars. With the current exchange rate, it's a decent price. I know it is heavy, so I guess I have to order it from them as they can ship with cheaper rate.
I haven't bough The Beginning KING OF WORKS yet. The contents should be fairly similar, though.
