Slowly simmer until it reaches the thickness of a glaze. Stir frequently to keep from burning.
When you achieve the glaze consistency, let it cool down.
Balsamic vinegar is one of those culinary delights so often overlooked in English cooking. People seem to think it will be like that brown malt stuff that they splash on fish and chips. Balsamic glaze is a delicious addition to just about any food, with the possible exception of fish and chips. I had this yesterday for my dinner with a rack of lamb, al dente vegetables and roast potatoes. Gorgeous. It is so easy too.

Embraer delivers Brazilian Navy's final modernised AF-1B aircraft
The aircraft is one of the seven subsonic fighter jets modernised under the AF-1 programme.

Aerospace manufacturer Embraer has delivered the Brazilian Navy's (Marinha do Brasil) seventh and final modernised AF-1 subsonic fighter jet (AF-1B).
A ceremony to mark the delivery of the aircraft was held at Embraer's industrial unit in Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo state, Brazil.
The AF-1 is an attack and intercept aircraft, which can be operated from both the airfield and from an aircraft carrier.
The company has modernised the aircraft under the Brazilian Navy's AF-1 programme.
The programme involved upgradation of five single-seater AF-1B and two two-seaters AF-1C jets.
Upon completion of the programme, the modernised aircraft now include new weapons, power generation, navigation, computers, sensor systems and tactical communication systems.
The Brazilian Navy's upgraded aircraft are now equipped with multi-mode radar and a new operating system.
Further, the company worked to revitalise and modernise the aircraft's cell to increase the life of the jet.
As part of the programme, Embraer developed a high-fidelity flight simulator for pilot training.
In addition, the company enhanced the briefing and debriefing stations to help in the training and provide proficiency to the pilots.
The enhancement of stations resulted in cost reduction and provided greater effectiveness for the planning and execution of different operations.
According to Embraer, the modernisation of aircraft provides situational awareness to the pilots and makes them familiar with the modern combat aircraft systems and operations, which are essential for the current combat scenario.

Worker who was pulled into jet engine at airport got too close despite warnings NTSB says
An airline worker killed in a Dec. 31 incident at an Alabama airport was exposed to multiple warnings about the dangers of being near running jet engines, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
A preliminary report shared by the agency Monday did not explicitly assign fault in the incident at Montgomery Regional Airport. It noted examples of when workers were warned to stay clear of running jet engines when planes are stopped on the ground.
The employee, identified by the NTSB as a ramp agent for American Airlines commuter carrier American Eagle, was on the tarmac and had apparently set up a safety cone at the rear of the parked aircraft right before she was pulled into an engine and killed, the agency said. The worker was not named in the NTSB report.
The Communications Workers of America identified the employee as Courtney Edwards, 34, a mother of three from the area. The union and American Airlines said she worked for regional subsidiary Piedmont Airlines.
The report describes multiple points when the worker was directly warned or exposed to information about the dangers of being too close to the engines.
The report also noted instances when two ramp agents saw workers get too close to the plane and an engine, and tried to waive them off. In one, an agent saw a worker almost fall over from an engine's exhaust, and tried to warn her to stay back, according to the NTSB report.
Before the plane arrived at its gate from Dallas-Fort Worth, there were two safety briefings for crew members, during which they were warned the engines would stay on until electricity from the ground could be connected, the NTSB said.
The crew members were told safety cones should not be set, and crew on the ground should not be near the aircraft, until the engines were turned off, turbines stopped spinning and a rotating beacon light was extinguished, the report states.
An excerpt from American Eagle's ground operations manual that was included in the NTSB report echoed those points.
After placing the cone, which signifies the plane's stationary status, the worker walked along the leading edge of its left wing, which put her directly in front one of the Embraer 170's two engines, according to the NTSB report.
During that walk along the wing, the employee got too close to the running engine and was killed, the NTSB said.
The rotating beacon light appeared to be on during the whole the incident, according to the report.
American Airlines and Edwards' mother did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Richard Honeycutt, regional vice president of Communications Workers of America, said in a statement earlier this month, "She was away from her family working on New Year's Eve making sure passengers got to where they needed to be for the holidays. She represents the very best of our CWA airport members, who constantly make sacrifices to serve the flying public."
The union spearheaded a crowd-funding page has raised nearly $100,000 to support Edwards' children.

Standards without Borders
Why NFPA documents are increasingly used worldwide
BY DONALD P. BLISS
AT A RECENT FIRE SAFETY CONFERENCE in Malaysia, I had the pleasure of meeting four fire officers from Tehran, Iran. Anyone listening to our conversation would never have known that our governments have been divided for more than 40 years. We immediately bonded, as firefighters do no matter where they're from. After being queried about some NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, requirements, I discovered that NFPA's codes and standards have been adopted and used in Iran for many years and have been translated into Farsi. My new colleagues were anxious to learn when NFPA could provide training and technical assistance to the Iranian fire service, which can't happen until the current economic sanctions have been lifted.
NFPA's codes and standards are in use in more than 50 nations and have been translated into at least 14 different languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic. In many cases, NFPA provides a royalty-free license to government organizations that wish to translate and adopt a standard. A foreign language adoption furthers NFPA's global mission, and can result in requests for NFPA training. It can also open the door for United States-based providers of fire protection products and services in jurisdictions that recognize NFPA codes and standards.
NFPA codes and standards can be adapted for use in jurisdictions throughout the world. Requirements that work well in the U.S. may not be appropriate in some countries for technical reasons or due to cultural differences, and in those cases NFPA works closely with national standards bodies, regulatory agencies, and the fire service to help them understand how a particular NFPA standard can best serve their needs. Following a tragic 2013 nightclub fire in Brazil, the Rio de Janeiro Fire Department sought NFPA's assistance with the development of a fire code that could help it improve fire safety in advance of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. We translated NFPA 1, Fire Code, into Portuguese, provided training for authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and offered technical support during the code adoption process in Rio. Similar efforts are underway in many other countries.
I'm often asked why a country would turn to an NFPA standard when there are other internationally recognized standards that have been promulgated by groups such as ISO or the European Union. Stakeholders tell us they prefer NFPA standards for several reasons: our open, transparent, and balanced consensus process strengthens the technical content; the scheduled revision cycle of each standard ensures that the latest technology and design considerations are incorporated into the codes; and NFPA provides expert technical advisory services for members and AHJs. These factors can explain why NFPA 130, Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, and NFPA 502, Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Other Limited Access Highways, are in such wide use on every continent. Many of our standards related to industrial processes, flammable gases, and other hazardous materials have become the de facto industry standards in many parts of the world.
When it comes to fire safety, cultural and political barriers are quickly subsumed in the effort to reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic loss. NFPA is proud of the role it plays in supporting the adoption and use of consensus codes and standards both at home and abroad.

¿What is Slack?
It is increasingly common for a company of any size to have its workers spread out over different cities in the same country or even in different countries.
Traditional work environments are gradually giving way to new ones in which communication is no longer face-to-face, but through programs that allow video calls or instant messaging services. In this sense, we have already spoken to you on several occasions about the benefits of Skype, and how much it has facilitated business and personal communication, and now we want to present a real-time messaging tool designed for communication between teams: Slack.
WHAT DOES SLACK CONSIST OF?
As we said, Slack is a real-time messaging tool that facilitates the management of work groups. Being able to saving time and centralizing communication, and that above all succeeds at the business level.
Slack allows you to create workgroups among an unlimited number of members, hold private conversations, establish public and private channels or share files.
This means that it can be useful, for example, for a freelance designer who is developing a project for a company. Also for a group of writers who work for the same website. Or for the IT department of a company that has as many projects as channels.
In a very competitive environment such as communication, Slack has managed to win over thousands of users worldwide for three main reasons:
It's free (although it includes paid versions with more features). It's very intuitive and configurable. And, especially, it integrates with other commonly used tools, such as Dropbox, Twitter, Google Drive, Trello or IFTTT.
WHY IS IT SUCH POPULAR?
Slack is convincing because of its possibilities, but also because of its charm. One of the elements with which it has conquered the public is its ample capacity for personalization. The program allows us to configure the notifications to our liking: we can receive alerts for all of them, for private ones, only for those that mention us or for those that contain a specific word.
This customization also affects their appearance, since Slack offers a series of themes to configure from the wallpaper to the sidebar. It includes emojis, allows searches (with filters) within the channels and shows "previews" of links or attached messages. Also it has a mobile version (also free). So that you can follow the news of the group without having to be in front of the computer.
How do you start it up?
Another point in favour of Slack, as we said, is that it is very intuitive from its initial phase, which would be the installation and implementation. To do this, enter Slack and on the main screen enter your email. Click on create new team and name your group.
Now choose your username, which is the one that will be shown in the channel and with which the rest of the members will see you. Finish the process, review the writing and start with the button Create my new Slack team.
We already have the group! Although it cannot have such consideration until there are no more members. And that's exactly what Slack suggests at this point: that we enter the email addresses of the people chosen for that work group. Note that in this step you are only adding members to the application, then you can decide which people are part of each channel.
In case you don't have the emails of your future Slack partners at hand, you can postpone this step now. If you log in to your email, in addition to suggesting that you set a password, you'll see that Slack allows you to invite new members using other methods. With the desktop application in place, a wizard called @slackbot will help you create channels (public or private) to share files or customize notifications. Enjoy Slack!!

Côte d'Ivoire's Teaching Manual (2007) provides in Book III, Volume 1 (Instruction of first-year trainee officers):
Chapter 1. Introduction to the law of war
II. The fundamental principles of IHL
Just as military operations are based on principles concerning attack, defence, withdrawal, etc., the law of armed conflicts contains a set of well-defined principles. These concrete principles reflect the realities of conflicts. They represent a balance between the principle of humanity and military necessity, and they are valid at all times, in all places, and in all circumstances. It is essential that these rules are known by all combatants. They must permanently be taken into consideration in every activity of evaluation, planning, and military training or operation. The following principles can be found throughout the texts of the law of armed conflicts.
II.5. Good faith
Good faith between belligerents is a customary principle of the conduct of war. Soldiers must show good faith in their interpretation of the law of armed conflicts. Good faith must also be respected in negotiations between belligerents and in talks with humanitarian organizations.
Chapter 4. Behaviour in action
II. 2. Temporary ceasefires
There are moments during the conduct of operations – apart from combat, of course – when contacts with the enemy can occur. What is meant here are non-hostile contacts, or relations which the opposing forces can regard as necessary.
Every officer has the competence to conclude a temporary ceasefire of a precise and limited scope. Of course, any decision of that type must receive the approval of the hierarchy. Temporary ceasefires can be extremely useful for evacuating or collecting the wounded on the battlefield, or to allow the evacuation of civilians to a safer place. Ceasefires are limited in time and in scope. It is indispensable that the two parties show complete good faith.
IV.3.1. Evacuation of the sick and wounded
The law demands of the parties to the conflict to strive to conclude local arrangements for the evacuation of the wounded, sick, infirm, elderly, children and maternity cases who find themselves in zones under siege or encircled.

Chapter 3. Identification
III.4. The white flag (or flag of truce)
The white flag is a customary element of war, and remains widely in use until this day. The white flag is used to indicate the intention to negotiate and to protect the persons who negotiate. It does not necessarily indicate – as it is often believed – an intention to surrender. The negotiation with an enemy can have concrete military motives: organization of a ceasefire in order to collect the dead and injured, or in order to exchange prisoners …
II.4. The white flag (the flag of truce)
We have already spoken of this element of customary law; let us now see how it can be used during operations.
The white flag signifies "I want to enter into communication or negotiate with you", and not necessarily "I want to surrender". How does one use the white flag? The party which uses the white flag must cease firing. As soon as it has done so, the other side must do the same. Enemy forces then can in certain cases show their surrender in an evident manner, by throwing away their weapons and raising their arms.

Section D. Refusal to receive parlementaires
The white flag signifies "I want to enter into communication or negotiate with you", and not necessarily "I want to surrender". How does one use the white flag? The party which uses the white flag must cease firing. As soon as it has done so, the other side must do the same. Enemy forces then can in certain cases show their surrender in an evident manner, by throwing away their weapons and raising their arms. A surrender is generally accepted and the enemy is treated consequently, but there is no obligation to receive a delegation of parlementaires.

Painted by Professor F Andreotti. Exhibited Florence 1891
Federico Andreotti, occasionally seen as Federigo, was born in Florence on 6 March 1847 and died in 1930. He received his artistic training at the Florentine Academy of Fine Art and was a student under the President, Enrico Pollastrini (1817-1876). Andreotti had won a scholarship and went on to achieve an appointment as professor in 1879. He was prolific as a painter in Rome, Florence and other cities in Italy. While little is known about his exhibition history in Florence, Andreotti is known to have exhibited at the Royal Academy in London during the period 1879-1883. His 1881 exhibition of a painting called A Pious Fraud shows a drunkard slumped near empty bottles and kegs of beer, quite unlike the paintings he is known for today. The painting became an engraving and was reproduced in the Times. (2)
Around 1864 he won an important commission from the Italian king to paint Savonarola. Girolamo Savonarola was a 15th century fanatical Dominican preacher and moral dictator of Florence from 1494 until his execution in 1498. (3) This work was initially criticised, which prompted Andreotti to abandon historical themes and devote himself to portraits and period scenes. (4) These were highly sought after by American and European collectors.
His paintings are always in a realistic genre and most often of aristocratic scenes in dress from the 17th and 18th centuries of the Rococo period.
The elaborate period dress and affected airs are sometimes described as 'Rococo Revival', popular between 1840 and 1870, and also known as the 'French Antique' style. (5) The late 19th century saw a resurgence of interest in historical figurative paintings set in this period of elegance and many artists, including Andreotti, looked to satisfy the growing desire for these works. (6) The subjects of Andreotti's paintings are often young women and couples in various stages of courtship with titles such as Courtship and The Love Letter. Musical instruments and romantic landscapes are often depicted. A number of his paintings were reproduced in important art reference books during the late 19th century.
This graceful and elegant painting was exhibited in Florence, Italy in 1891. In this painting, one of at least three with the same title, a jauntily posed gentleman looks fondly towards his beloved as he symbolically holds her skirt, which is decorated with a garland of roses, some of which have fallen to the ground. The beautiful young woman pretends not to have noticed as she lightly touches the keys of an ornate harpsichord. Roses were a popular symbol in the Rococo period and are still considered an ambassador of love. (1) This sentimental scene accurately and intricately depicts gold Rococo furniture with its curved, feminine legs and elaborate picture frames. On the table, below the mirror, sit two baluster-shaped oriental vases with lids and, according to Bernard Whitworth, clockmaker and Fellow of the British Horological Institute, an ornate late 17th century French style clock with a tortoiseshell-inlaid case (personal communication, 2014).
As in all of Andreotti's work, including those with landscape backgrounds, the details are meticulously painted, showing his early training as an academic artist. The brushstrokes and palette show the influence of the Impressionist movement of the time.

Hard Tech — Tough Choices
The Innovators: Payam Banazadeh
Pete Newell
For Payam Banazadeh, launching the first American commercial SAR satellite into space wasn't the hardest part of being a first-time founder. There were other headaches to navigate as his company, Capella Space, worked to create the capability to reliably monitor anything anywhere around the globe. Many of the challenges were ones other founders will recognize well: running low on money and worrying about making payroll; making sure product tests worked the way they were supposed to; managing personal relationships in the face of all-consuming work; figuring out how to navigate various government regulations. Payam quickly learned that each day in a startup brings a new challenge to meet or problem to fix. Coping has meant figuring out how to get comfortable with a never-ending series of existential problems, something he says he's done in the three years since Capella Space launched. Having watched Payam go through the first Hacking for Defense class at Stanford, I saw him meet some of these hurdles first hand and was glad he agreed to share his story on Innovators Radio Show and Podcast.

Chris Johns: Tory voters will now want Boris to show them the money
Johnson would like to banish Brexit from the headlines – he's as bored by it as we are

It is tempting to bang on about the fact that a majority of British voters went for parties that advocated Remain or a second referendum. But that would be to fight the last war. It's time to move on, learn lessons and think about what could happen after a Brexit that is now all but done.
Fighting the last war is exactly what the Labour Party – particularly its committed core of hard-left members of Momentum – clearly intends to do. A feature of many extremists, particularly pseudo-intellectual dilettantes, is the priority they give to ideological purity over the messy business of winning and deploying power.
The Labour blame game has focused on two groups: the electorate and the centrists. Fault lies with anybody but Jeremy Corbyn and his cult. In a different context it would be funny. Post-election polling suggests two factors drove the evisceration of Labour's core vote: Corbyn and Brexit (in that order, with dislike of all things Corbyn swamping a desire to "get Brexit done").
Popular narrative
A popular narrative is that working-class voters in the Midlands, Northern England and North Wales are economically left-wing and culturally conservative. They want Brexit, more public spending, better-paid jobs, less immigration and are turned off by earnest discussions about gender politics. Assembling a coalition of (former) steelworkers and Surrey stockbrokers reveals Boris Johnson to be a political genius.
The thing about popular narratives is that they are popular. For anyone genuinely interested in that business of winning elections, it is important to create that narrative and to offer it back to the electorate. It helps if it contains elements of truth but doesn't really matter if it does not. Political strategists – good ones, anyway – know that it is equally important to manage shifts in that narrative.
Chris Johns: Who would I vote for in the UK? Anyone who would defeat the Tory candidate
Chris Johns: Twin horrors of Johnson and Corbyn face UK voters
Chris Johns: Solutions to health and housing issues are beyond our political leaders
Johnson's extremists will have to be seen off if he wants to win more than one election
With Brexit, the original proposition was: "I understand your pain and recognise your problems. Brexit will ease and solve everything." There was (and is) pain and genuine grievance. The mistake the political class made was to think that stating the obvious truth – Brexit addresses none of these concerns – was an adequate response.
Changing the narrative
The narrative then changed: nobody talks about sunny uplands any more. Instead, a completely different message emerged: "The London elites think you are stupid for voting the way you did; they are determined to thwart your democratic rights. Get Brexit done and shove it back to those that sneer at you." The class warriors loved that one. The urban elites' response was feeble rather than condescending: they pointed out the lies rather than trying to wrest control of the narrative.
What happens next will be determined by who gains that control. One of the peculiar things about the hard right and the hard left is that they often espouse very similar policies. They are more interested in chaos than winning elections. In many ways they resemble old-fashioned anarchists. Johnson's extremists will have to be seen off if he wants to win more than one election.
My guess is that a dramatic shift of narrative is imminent. Johnson would like nothing more than to banish Brexit from the headlines: he is as bored by it as the rest of us. Perhaps he will honour his promises not to ask for a transition period extension and deliver a negotiated deal that puts regulatory distance between Britain and Europe. And no customs checks between Britain and Northern Ireland (this one in particular is going to be very problematic, involving mind-numbing detail). And begin to negotiate – maybe even quickly conclude – a comprehensive free trade deal with the US. All by next December. If you believe all of that I have a bridge to sell you.
What Boris wants
Johnson's majority, personal authority and feeble cabinet suggest he can do what he likes. Any cabinet minister or backbench MP knows exactly what will happen if they dissent: they will lose the whip (be fired), just as Johnson did in recent months to others who stood up to him.
If Johnson wants to keep on board his new working-class voters, he is going to have to give them something
The question then naturally arises: what does Johnson want? Put differently, which promises will he break? I suspect he wants to remove Brexit from the narrative altogether. That may be impossible, of course; whatever happens next could still dominate the headlines for years to come. But that's what he doesn't want. An extension of the transition period and, ultimately, a softer Brexit would elicit a fight in the short term, which he would win, and then see Brexit's salience shrink. But, as I said, we have few real clues about which version of Johnson is likely to turn up.
If –a big if – he wants to keep on board his new working-class voters, he is going to have to give them something. A stalled economy – the current situation – is not a good place to start, but he has a few years to correct that. The NHS will need more money. And money is at the heart of what happens next: those new voters are expecting some. We will find out if austerity is really over.
Where will the money come from? My guess is that he will take his lead from US president Donald Trump and borrow. Trump, of course, is borrowing on a massive scale to fund massive tax cuts for the rich. The nature of Johnson's adherence to one-nation Conservatism will be his biggest test.

Changing the language we use related to adoption is important.
Whenever I answer that question, there is always a follow-up. I refer to my two youngest as "I have two 5-year-olds," which always begs the follow-up, "Oh, so you have twins?" And of course, my response is, "No, they are not twins. They were adopted from two different parts of Ethiopia and are about two months apart." And with that, the conversation on adoption always begins. I have a photo on the lock screen of my phone showing all four of my children, and it has been a handy way to explain to those I am talking to the ages of my people and how we all came together as a family.
It is this kind of language that is inaccurate, hurtful, and uneducated. One could make the case that ALL children, regardless of how and where they were birthed are "lucky" to have their parents. But how does it sound to my two 5-year-olds when that kind of statement is made in their presence? Or worse, when all four of my children are standing there? Is one life more important than the other? Are two of these children "luckier" than the others? As my younger two children grow older, are they supposed to feel a sense of greater gratitude for their parents than my older two children? No, no, and no.
I have found that the best way to change the language of adoption is to gently correct and educate while in the moment, most often with strangers. Instead of agreeing that yes, they are lucky to have us, I turn it around. "Well, we are so lucky to have them! Our family is blessed to all be together." Simple, short, and accurate. All children are a blessing, regardless of how they are grafted into a family.
Not everyone has the blessing of that perspective, however. The young woman who was bagging up my purchases that day was very young, probably 18 or 19. She wasn't saying anything hurtful. She was engaging in a conversation about something that, to her, was probably a little different. She, herself, told me that she had never met someone who had adopted internationally. Her gut reaction and follow up response was that of an adult swooping in and "saving" a baby.
When we change the language surrounding adoption, we change the mindset of adoption. And slowly, we can change the world of adoption. It starts small, with everyone we meet who comes into contact with our children. Gently correcting and educating. For all we know, those we are talking to have never met someone who has adopted. Or been adopted! We may be their first experience in that world.
I have also found that it is good to have a few go-to statements. Sometimes adoption-related conversations may catch us off-guard, and it is great to have some ideas ready to go. I now know what to say when someone exclaims that my children are so lucky I adopted them. I know what to say when someone asks why we adopted internationally instead of right here in the United States. It took some time to get those ideas into my personal adoption lexicon, but now I am ready to go! I am ready to educate and gently change the language.
Remember: when you change the language, you can change the world.

I was fascinated to read the Globe article about you and to see your background. My father was an engrosser so I've seen a lot of illumination/calligraphy done by him, examples in libraries and museums and I own books about it. He was given a manuscript page from his mentor that now hangs in my living room. If you are interested in seeing it, I live in Newton, Ma., an easy commute for you.
Constance G. Kantar
Ms. Davis, I would love to speak with you about a folio of a Mass, probably 15th c., the pages of which my father – a collector from Newton – distributed to many family and friends. Several pages have been given to the M.I.T. Music Department and Library, and I have been working to try to locate many others. Perhaps, through your extensive research and catalogueing, it might be possible to at least know where other pages might be. I live in Newton, and it would be easy to communicate about them. I still have the title page and several others.

Dr. Davis – about your latest 'Voynich manuscript' post – if it happens that you are the 'Lisa' who has been communicating at the forum, I'd be happy to help save you some time and effort with the 'portolan' avenue if you'd care to contact me. My own work on that subject (which I believe had not been previously considered) occupied a full chapter (35 pages) yet unpublished.
Lisa Fagin Davis
Nope, that's not me! As I wrote in my blogpost, I am not trying to "solve" it, but to study it as a medieval object.
Absolutely – it's not a 'problem' in that sense, at all!

Democracy for Me But Not for Thee: I'll Take That as a No…
By Guest Blogger, Prof. Gregory Lobo, Department of Languages and Culture, University of the Andes, Bogota, Colombia. Lobo is currently the 2018-19 International Scholars at Risk Program Fellow at the CAIF.
I watched in dismay recently as Rep. Ilhan Omar, the freshman Democratic Congresswoman from Minneapolis, in effect provided cover—whether she knew it or not—for Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. While some celebrated Rep. Omar's theatrics as apt hardball politicking (even as others denounced her for grandstanding), what I saw, most of all, from neighboring Colombia, was a blown chance to lend much needed support to Venezuelan aspirations for freedom and democracy.
What I witnessed, in other words, was—against the freshman congresswoman's best intention's, I would like to think—a propaganda boost for Maduro, who seeks to weaponize U.S. misdeeds of the past in support of his ongoing but—in every sense of the word—bankrupt regime.
Is the record of her target, Venezuela Envoy Elliot Abrams, unblemished? Certainly not. Few in my part of the world will say so, anyway. I flatly condemn the human rights abuses with which he was complicit, in El Salvador in particular. (Nor do I condone the argument that America's missteps have to be understood, let alone overlooked, because they occurred in the context of a struggle towards a higher goal, for it is an argument that any good Stalinist would embrace, mutatis mutandis.) But this is 2019, not 1979.
So why was this bright young woman—a part of the coalition for change in America, a feminist, anti-racist progressive, ostensibly a democrat and not just a Democrat—drawing on and feeding the whataboutism that is the first refuge of authoritarian enemies of democracy everywhere? Including Venezuela.
Her performance was amusing, especially her taking his "no" as a "yes." Perhaps she was cutting her teeth, and why not on Abrams? After all, if his help in El Salvador was so great, why are so many Salvadorans intent on making the perilous journey out of that country? But, then again, if America is so bad, as Rep. Omar seemed to be implying, why is the U.S. their destination?
The point is, reality is complicated—but support for democracy in Venezuela is not. So, Rep. Omar, how, in good conscience, could you divert attention from what is going on now, next door to me, in Venezuela, with a partisan spin on savagery in an entirely different country, and different political context, nearly forty years ago?
Why conjure images of a nonexistent U.S.-backed "armed faction within Venezuela that engages in war crimes, crimes against humanity," while the people of Venezuela, in reality, suffer under the selfish policies of a sick regime, second only to North Korea in its mad adherence not even to a defunct ideology, but a defunct personality.
Rep. Omar's very presence in the new Congress is presumably evidence of the vitality, of the full-bloodedness of American democracy. Does she not want something similar for Venezuela? Surely it is not a case of democracy for me, but not for thee?
That said, my conversations with Venezuelans in Bogotá reveal that no, of course they don't want armed intervention from the North. Perhaps Rep. Omar, then, instead of scoring points for taking on a Cold Warrior, could have pushed Abrams to commit to no military intervention in Venezuela's inevitable, but now more distant, transition to something more like American democracy. For the vast majority of Venezuelans are more concerned about the present and future than the distant past and do want change: they want, more specifically, democracy and freedom of expression. Which is to say, they want Maduro to go, along with his everybody-is-equally-miserable brand of socialism.
Such a transition will be complex, requiring tact, concessions and the saving of face for all concerned. So what Rep. Omar should have done was inquire as to whether Abrams understood the complexity of the situation and thus the need for a complex solution—and that going in guns-ablaze would be far too simple an approach to be of benefit. In this way, she would have demonstrated her moral sophistication and true regard for the people of Latin America. Instead, she chose political theater, which despite its currency in the present context, must still be seen as the low road.
Real democracy must still demand, if not expect (unfortunately), better. What we need now is not virtue signaling, but virtue.

Q: AV Player not working in a container view Swift I am trying to get a video to play within a container view controller. I would like the video to play only within the container view but have the option to full screen it while playing.

I have a piece of code that can play a video with the screen automatically going full screen using an 'off container' button but, I cannot get the video to play within the container. Also, I am unaware of how to use the play button showing on the container view in my image above. The AV Player controller is embedded in the container.
Code below:
@IBAction func playButton(_ sender: Any) {
    if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "SampleVideo", ofType: "mp4") {
        let video = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
        let videoPlayer = PlayerViewController()
        videoPlayer.player = video

        present(videoPlayer, animated: true, completion: {
            video.play()
        })
    }
}

A: No longer an issue. I found out I should have been using AV Player Layer. Now I have the video playing in a UIImageView and is doing what I needed.

Palestine–South Africa relations refer to the interstate relations between the Republic of South Africa and the State of Palestine.

Bilateral relations
The African National Congress had close relations with Palestine Liberation Organization. Nelson Mandela had close relations with Yasser Arafat. After the first non-racial elections in 1994, South Africa established diplomatic relations with the State of Palestine on February 15, 1995. Former South African President Nelson Mandela had visited both Israel and Palestine and called for peace between both sides. Nevertheless, some prominent South African figures, such as Desmond Tutu and Ronnie Kasrils have criticized Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, drawing parallels between apartheid South Africa and modern-day Israel. The Congress of South African Trade Unions, which represents 1.2 million South African workers, has also accused Israel of practicing apartheid and supported the boycott launched by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, as well as the boycott of all Israeli products.

Gaza War and after
During the 2008 to 2009 Gaza War, South Africa's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Fatima Hajaig called on Israel to stop military attacks in Gaza and withdraw its forces from the border immediately, saying, "The South African government finds the continued siege on Gaza unacceptable as it does not allow humanitarian relief supply such as medicine, food and water to reach the desperate people of Gaza." "The South African government unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms condemns the escalation of violence on the part of Israel brought about by the launching Saturday night of a ground invasion into Gaza," read a statement issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs after the start of Israel's ground offensive. South Africa said that, "the violent situation in Gaza and southern Israel made it imperative for the [UN General] Assembly to collectively and publicly voice its condemnation of the attacks and demand that both sides immediately cease their military attacks." The country made a similar call in the UN Security Council.

After the Gaza flotilla raid on 31 May 2010, the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation issued a statement "strongly condemning all military aggression by Israel against innocent civilians, including those in the occupied West Bank and Gaza." On 3 June, South Africa recalled its ambassador from Israel, and the Israeli ambassador was summoned to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation for a reprimand.
