Two Palestinian boys, murdered by the Israeli military
Dead women, dead children, dead babies. Limbs missing, brains missing, guts spilled out on the floor. It's impossible to put a positive spin on those kinds of images, unless you're Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Two days ago, Bibi sought to explain why, in the space of a few hours, Israeli soldiers, under his orders, had massacred 63 people, including 17 children, in the Shuja'iya neighborhood to the east of Gaza City. He said:
"We have to protect ourselves. We try to target the rocketeers, we do. And all civilian casualties are not intended by us but actually intended by Hamas who want to pile up as many civilian dead as they can because somebody said they use telegenically dead Palestinians for the cause. They want the more dead the better."
Think about that for a moment, and while you do so, consider this image of a Palestinian girl in her father's arms. Half of her head was blown off by Netanyahu's soldiers in the Shuja'iya neighborhood two days ago.
What Netanyahu is saying is "the Palestinians are MAKING us kill them". Many parallels could be drawn with this statement. The rapist who accuses his victim of 'making him do it' or 'asking for it'; the psychologically deranged murderer who claims that he killed prostitutes 'to save them'. When it raises its ugly head in civil society, this kind of twisted psychopathic thinking provokes revulsion and is universally condemned, yet when Netanyahu employs it in relation to the Israeli attack on Gaza, it's accepted as a reasonable argument that absolves him and his shock troops of the mass murder of civilians.
Staged Palestinian Terror and Rocket Attacks?
Two 'Iron Dome' missiles intercept…not much apparently.
Israel's latest terror attack on Gaza was supposedly provoked by the kidnapping and murder of 3 Israeli teenagers last month. The Israeli government blamed Hamas, but provided no evidence to back up their allegation. By the modern legal standards of any civilized society, the murder of the Israeli teenagers remains an unsolved crime. But Israel isn't a modern civilized society, it is an apartheid society, and more primitive standards of law and justice apply there.
The murder of the three Israeli teens was used to launch an attack on Gaza, which Hamas allegedly responded to by firing 'rockets' into Israel. This, in turn, was used by Israel to expand its bombing and murder campaign in Gaza, including a ground invasion that is still ongoing and has resulted in the massacre of over 600 Palestinian civilians and the wounding of thousands.
The Israeli military has targeted hospitals, mosques and a sports stadium, because the Palestinians 'made them do it'. There is a serious problem however with Israeli justification for the attack on Gaza.
As I already noted, there is NO evidence that Hamas was to blame. In fact, the Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki suggested that Israel itself may have staged the kidnapping or that it was carried out by "Jewish criminals". I share his opinion, which is based in common sense. Israel needed a justification to attack Gaza and, as on so many occasions in the past, a justification in the form of an apparent attack on Israelis landed in their lap.
I have already pointed out how the Israeli govt. knew within 24 hrs that the teens were dead, yet they kept up the charade of searching for them for almost 3 weeks and placed a gag order on the press. One week after the kidnapping, leading Israeli journalist Noam Sheizaf effectively broke the gag order by stating in a Facebook post that the Israeli government's goal was to "preserve the local and international legitimacy" for a military policy aimed at Hamas.
Israel had a plan to attack Gaza, it needed justification, so it manufactured it, and then covered up the fact that it did so. It is therefore common sense to conclude that the most likely culprit in the kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli boys is someone acting on behalf of the state of Israel itself, because they had both the strongest motive and the best opportunity and have been caught manipulating information in order to justify the Gaza murder spree.
Manipulating information is what Israel does. It's what Israel HAS to do to justify to the world its existence on, and continued theft of, Palestinian land.
Imagine that someone in your neighborhood falsely claimed ownership of another neighbor's house, forcibly took physical possession of it, kicked the original residents out into a tent in the street and proceeded to imprison the original residents in said tent. How do you imagine such a person would be able to maintain and justify their illegal occupation if not by the use of force against any attempts to take back what was stolen and the use of regular lies and manipulation of anyone else who dared to try and point out the obvious injustice of the situation? If such a situation persisted long enough, you can imagine that the illegal occupier would be forced to develop all sorts of underhanded strategies and ploys to maintain his 'right' to someone else's property. One example of a useful strategy in this context would be to create the illusion that you are being attacked in order to level the 'moral' playing field between you and your victim.
Back in 2008, just after Israel launched 'Operation Cast Lead' that resulted in the mass murder of almost 1,500 Palestinian civilians, Robert Siegel, host of NPR's 'All Things Considered' interviewed Ahmed Yusuf, the political adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Yusuf complained to Siegel that there was no point in engaging in a ceasefire with Israel because Israel usually reneged on the promises it makes to open border crossings into Gaza:
Mr. YUSUF: You know, actually, we have said we are willing to extend the cease-fire. But the terms that we have agreed upon in Cairo, the Israelis never fulfilled their promises. They're supposed to have these crossings open for humanitarian aid. Unfortunately, 50 percent of the time, these crossing never opened, and the number of the trucks that's supposed to come daily to Gaza – there is no cement, no asphalt, no plastic, or everything. Many items of medical supplies not allowed to cross to Gaza.
An IDF soldier examines the remains of a 'rocket' fired by…someone
SIEGEL: But, wasn't the response of firing rockets into Israel… wasn't that guaranteed to bring on this retaliation by the Israelis?
Mr. YUSUF: No. No. This has nothing to do with firing rockets because there is no rockets fired. There are collaborators, sometimes they fire based on the Israeli asking them maybe to fire some of these home-made projectiles. They know that Hamas did their best to protect the border and not to let anybody firing rockets.
SIEGEL: But you're saying that when rockets have been fired out of Gaza, you're saying that those are being fired by Israeli collaborators whom the Israelis are arranging for them to do that…
Mr. YUSUF: Actually, we all – let me try me to check if there is anybody actually – we check with those political and militant group who are really showing their commitment. And when we check, well, they – all them denied any of them been firing rockets. So, who been firing these rockets? We don't have an explanation except from those Israeli collaborators
This was not the first time that a Palestinian politician claimed that alleged attacks on Israelis were in fact the work of Israeli agents. On many occasions, the Palestinian leadership has pointed the finger at Israel as the real 'rocketeer'. Once in a while, the Israeli military at least admits that rockets were not fired by Hamas. At other times, it admits that it deliberately lied about Palestinian rocket attacks to justify 'reprisal' missile strikes. The first recorded claim of Israeli manufacturing of Palestinian terrorism came from the venerable Yasser Arafat in 1995 when he claimed that a suicide bombing attributed to Palestinians was the work of Israelis.
"Soon after the Beit Lid massacre, in which 21 Israeli soldiers were killed by two Islamic Jihad suicide bombers, Palestinian Authority chief Yasser Arafat told a group of visiting dignitaries that right-wing Israelis had collaborated with the killers. Otherwise, he said, the killers could not have passed through several army check posts without being stopped."
In a 2001 interview with several leading Italian publications, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat went into some detail regarding the genesis and operation of Hamas. To Corriere della Sera on Dec. 11, he said:
"We are doing everything possible to stop the violence. But Hamas is a creature of Israel which, at the time of Prime Minister [Yitzhak] Shamir [the late 1980s, when Hamas arose], gave them money and more than 700 institutions, among them schools, universities and mosques. Even [former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin ended up admitting it, when I charged him with it, in the presence of [Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak."
In an interview with L'Espresso on Dec. 19, Arafat said:
"Hamas was constituted with the support of Israel. The aim was to create an organization antagonistic to the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization]. They [Hamas] received financing and training from Israel. They have continued to benefit from permits and authorizations, while we have been limited, even [for permits] to build a tomato factory. Rabin himself defined it as a fatal error. Some collaborationists of Israel are involved in these [terrorist] attacks. We have the proof, and we are placing it at the disposal of the Italian government."
Recently, an Israeli Defense Prize winner and aerospace engineering expert Dr. Moti Shefer, called into question the reality of Israel's lauded 'Iron Dome' missile defense system that supposedly "shoots down Hamas rockets":
"There is no missile in the world today able to intercept missiles or rockets. Iron Dome is a sound and light show that is intercepting only Israeli public opinion, and itself, of course. Actually, all the explosions you see in the sky are self explosions. No Iron Dome missile has ever collided with a single rocket. […] The rockets announced as intercepted by Iron Dome either never reach the ground, or are virtual rockets invented and destroyed on the Iron Dom control computer. To this day, no one has ever seen an intercepted rocket fall to the ground."
"What lands here is what's launched. The parts we see on the ground are from Iron Dome itself. We're shooting at ourselves, mainly virtually.
According to Dr. Shefer, Iron Dome is a part of a broad conspiracy, in which two interested parties afraid of peace are participating: the defense industries and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
The Problem With Israel
The problem with Israel isn't merely that it is an Apartheid state where Palestinians (both in Israel and in the occupied territories) are treated as second class citizens, at best; there have been (and are) many nations around the world that brutally treat a section of their populations. The real problem with Israel is the image it presents of itself as a little slice of the 'West' in the Middle East surrounded by hoards of atavistic Arabs baying for Jewish blood and against whom Israel is fighting, on the behalf of the people of Western nations, in the supposed 'clash of civilizations'.
The problem is not only that this image is entirely false, but in manipulating Western citizens into accepting this false image as true, the state of Israel makes Western citizens accomplices in the slaughter of innocent civilians, children included. This is the real problem of Israel for the people of the world and in particular the people of Western nations who are very much the primary target of this attempt to, essentially, subvert their souls, or at least their humanity (or what is left of it).
Israel's ongoing attack on the people of Gaza represents a choice (albeit a weighted one) for the people of this planet. A gun is being held (figuratively and literally) to the head of a small child, and the question being put to the 'civilized' West is:
'Is there ANY situation under which it is appropriate to pull the trigger?'
Too many people are allowing themselves to be manipulated by the despicable lies and manipulations of psychopaths in positions of power to answer 'yes'. In doing so, they are pushing us all, as a global society, closer to the brink (and perhaps over the edge) of complete moral bankruptcy. The history of human civilizations is littered with, not only the stories, but the actual ruins of civilizations that provoked devastating catastrophes because they lost their connection to their own humanity.
I started this essay with a truly psychopathic statement from Netanyahu that amounted to accusing the 600 slaughtered Palestinians of making Israel slaughter them ('look what you made me do!') I'll finish with a slightly less egregious but equally schizophrenic statement made by US Sec. of State John Kerry who, in referring to the situation in Gaza, appeared to be experiencing the obvious problem of trying to project a humanitarian face to the world while ensuring that that same face remained firmly planted between the butt cheeks of the murderous Israeli regime.
"I'm deeply concerned about the consequences of Israel's appropriate and legitimate effort to defend itself."
Don't even try to make sense of it.

Tess says:
The whole world has gone insane especially in the western countries where nothing they do and say makes any sense and where the media propaganda is at its extreme. As if no one is cable of critical thinking, asking the right questions or simply maintaining an adult and logical conversation. Who in their right mind can possible believe in the utter rubbish that Israel and the so called "western countries and its allies" are spewing out. As if they are the only authority on deciding on who is right and who is wrong. They are truly the masters of deceit that is if you are willing to be deceived. Most countries are either down playing or completely concealing Israeli's horrendous crimes against the Palestinians.
Hi Tess, thanks for the comment. You ask
"Who in their right mind can possible believe in the utter rubbish that Israel and the so called "western countries and its allies" are spewing out.
Unfortunately, "far too many apparently can", is the answer.
Whiteout says:
Equally Orwellian is a comment made yesterday on radio 3AW in Melbourne, Australia by the host, Tom Elliott, summing up at the end of a conversation regarding the burning of the Australian flag by an Australian pro-Palestine activist: '… one of the things we have learnt today, sometimes in order to get peace apparently it's okay to commit acts of violence. What a load of nonsense …'. That comment was put sarcastically as a response by Tom Elliott to the burning of the flag. I wonder if he saw the irony in his comment considering what Israel is currently inflicting on Gaza, particularly as he does not condemn Israel's actions. It seems in Tom's world the burning of the flag is a much more heinous crime than the killing of innocents. His full comments are in the link below towards the end of the podcast. Our humanity is down the toilet it seems. http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/AUDIO/230714_drive…
Yeah, in the 'world' inhabited by these types, black is white, up is down, and Palestinian lives aren't worth very much at all.
Linda J Nichols says:
Information and thinking that should be in the mainstream media for people like me who want the truth but have been fooled by lies. It takes time and effort to find out facts. Many of us are sincerely seeking and sharing what we learn.

The article is worst from all of the above blog


If you own a TV, you've probably seen the ads for the show this series is based on. In Chuck, the story's namesake and lead character, we've got an employee for a major electronics retailer with a deep appreciation for technology. When he catches an e-mail from an old college buddy who landed a job with the CIA, the message fires a whole mess of spy secrets into his brain before deleting itself from his inbox. His gig at Best Buy now a distant memory, Chuck is suddenly trotting around the globe with a small troupe of beautiful killers, serving his country and rescuing its celebrity political candidates. Personally, I've never watched the NBC series, so I may not be the target market here. Or then again, maybe I'm exactly the person they're hoping to attract.
Co-writers Peter Johnson and Zev Borow (co-producer and writer of the Chuck TV series) provide a smooth transition between the Wildstorm mini-series and its small screen cousin. The issue is blessed with a deep, personable cast and an interesting basic premise, but the writers' penchant for one-liners and wise cracking sometimes gets to be a bit much. A well-timed joke to break the tension is one thing, especially when your lead character bows so constantly to the everyman stereotype. But when a series can't go a page and a half without firing out a pun or two, whether the jokes are good or bad, (and this is a mixed bag) it's something else entirely. Johnson and Borow keep the plot moving and the surprises coming, but nothing seems to carry any permanence (one henchman takes a bullet in the face and shouts "OW!" before resuming the chase) and that takes its toll.
Jeremy Haun's artwork in this issue is smooth and clean, somewhere Ex Machina's Tony Harris and Civil War's Steve McNiven. Haun owes a great debt to his colorist, Wes Hartman, whose efforts enliven his compositions and add mood and atmosphere where it would otherwise be lacking. Despite Hartman's best efforts, though, the core of this artwork often feels stiff and unnatural, particularly when the spies are fleeing down the side of a mountain aboard a set of snowboards, with a dozen bad guys somehow managing to give chase side-by-side-by-side-by-side. How often do they get the opportunity to practice their downhill slope sniping formations? I've seen some of Haun's other work, and when he can pull it together he shows a lot of potential, but most of this issue is spent wallowing in mediocrity.
There's a fine line between politely asking your readers to suspend their disbelief and bluntly insulting their intelligence, and sadly Chuck lost sight of it long ago. I can buy the story's far-fetched premise, but the sheer number of coincidences and unreasonable situations that lead to the conclusion of this issue stretch my patience beyond the point of no return. With no less than seven gunfights, an evil clone and a fistfight aboard a spiraling personal jet, Chuck reads like an extra-cheesy director's cut of Moonraker. And I don't mean that as a compliment. Skip it; what starts out well enough quickly spirals out of control.

Is John Cena Dead? His Net Worth, Height, Weight, House, Wiki, Salary
John Cena is an American WWE superstar, actor, television host, and rapper. Making his pro wrestling debut in 1999, it took Cena about 4 years to rise to superstardom. For much of the 2000s and again in the 2010s, John Cena was the face of the WWE. Fellow wrestlers like RicFlair have publicly proclaimed him as one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time.
Is John Cena Dead?
The death hoax about John Cena which began swirling in 2013 seems to keep popping up year after year, most recently in 2017. The hoax has been linked to sites like TMZNewsOnline.net (PS: It has no link whatsoever to TMZ.com). The said site reported the old hoax in 2016 stating that Cena died in a car accident. An article on their site read;
"John Cena died in a single-vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident."
"Highway Safety Investigators have told reporters that John Cena lost control while driving a friend's vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly."
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE! Like most celebrity death hoaxes, the reason for this one is absolutely unknown. As recent as 2017, fans of the WWE superstar have been sending him messages on Twitter about the rumor, but Cena who like the rest of us is bored of the hoax didn't even seem to bother.
John Cena Net Worth, Salary
John Cena has been incredibly successful in his career as a pro wrestler. No other WWE star comes close to pushing the amount of merchandise that Cena does annually, and he gets to go home with 6% of the total merchandise sales.
His acting and TV hosting gigs help to elevate his earnings. Also, Cena has a list of endorsement deals to thank for bolstering his earnings. He has endorsed the likes of Gold's Gym (before becoming a pro wrestler), YJ Stinger, Subway, Gillette, and Wonderful Pistachios.
In 2015, he earned $9.5 million to become the highest-paid wrestler in the WWE. For the year 2017, his earnings dipped a bit to $8.5 million. He was bested only by Brock Lesnar who snagged the top spot with a paycheck of $12 million.
John Cena's net worth is estimated at $55 million.
John Cena House
That money avails Cena the right to a luxurious lifestyle and he is sure living it. Cena owns a luxurious mansion in Tampa, Florida which is reportedly worth at least $750,000.
The house includes a large outdoor pool and a men's cigar room complete with a large walk-in closet. The house is frequently featured in his wife Nikki Bella's TV show Total Bellas. In addition to the Florida mansion, Cena has a number of properties scattered all over the nation.
Cena is also a car aficionado with an insane collection that includes the 1969 COPO Camaro, 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, 1969 Dodge Daytone, and more.
John Cena Wiki
John Felix Anthony Cena, named after his biological father was born on April 23, 1977, in West Newbury, Massachusetts. Cena is the second oldest of his 5 brothers which include Dan, Matt, Steve, and Sean. John's dad hails from Italy while his mom is of English and French-Canadian descent.
Cena graduated from Cushing Academy, a private preparatory school he had transferred to from Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts. After high school, Cena proceeded to Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts where he was part of the varsity football team wearing the number 54. Cena graduated from college in 1998 with a degree in exercise physiology and body movement.

Иван Григорьевич Горошко (1913—1990) — старшина Рабоче-крестьянской Красной Армии, служил в оккупационной полиции, откуда бежал, участник Великой Отечественной войны, полный кавалер ордена Славы, лишён всех званий и наград в связи с послевоенным осуждением за службу в оккупационной полиции в начале войны.

Биография
Родился 18 августа 1913 года в селе Новосёловка (ныне — Новоукраинский район Кировоградской области Украины). После окончания шести классов сельской школы уехал работать на шахты сначала в Армянскую ССР, затем в Донбасс. В 1935—1938 годах служил в Рабоче-крестьянской Красной армии. Демобилизовавшись, проживал в Макеевке, работал в строительной организации.

Великая Отечественная война
В июле 1941 года был повторно призван в армию. В том же году во время боёв под Днепродзержинском оказался во вражеском тылу, скрывался у местных жителей. Лишь в октябре 1941 года Горошко смог добраться до Макеевки, где поступил на службу в оккупационную полицию, по его собственным словам, по совету своего старшего брата. Пользуясь служебным положением, оказывал помощь подпольщикам, избегал участия в военных преступлениях против советских граждан, вместе с родственниками укрывал евреев. В августе 1942 года по причине своей «неблагонадёжности» был уволен из полиции, а летом 1943 года — бежал в Кировоградскую область, где скрывался до января 1944 года. После освобождения области от немцев, Горошко подвергся проверке органов «Смерш».

В марте 1944 года был снова призван в Красную армию Хмелевским райвоенкоматом Кировоградской области. С апреля 1944 года — на 2-м Украинском фронте. Был направлен в штрафную роту.

16 августа 1944 года пулеметчик приданной 97-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии 110-й отдельной штрафной роты 5-й гвардейской армии 1-го Украинского фронта рядовой Иван Горошко за действия в боях за расширение плацдарма на левом берегу реки Висла, был представлен к награждению орденом Славы 3-й степени (в наградном листе предположительно ошибочно указан год рождения — 1919-й, но именно на этот документ ссылается его следующий наградной лист), но по этому представлению 23 августа 1944 года был награждён лишь медалью «За отвагу».

В дальнейшем воевал командиром отделения автоматчиков 289-го гвардейского стрелкового полка 97-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии 32-го гвардейского стрелкового корпуса 5-й гвардейской армии 1-го Украинского фронта.

Первый раз был награждён орденом Славы во время дальнейшего освобождения Польши. В ночь с 30 на 31 октября 1944 года под городом Сташув Горошко в составе разведгруппы захватил важного пленного, лично уничтожил немецкий пулемётный расчёт, при этом был ранен. 4 ноября 1944 года был награждён орденом Славы 3-й степени.

Во второй раз был награждён орденом Славы во время форсирования Одера. В ночь с 26 на 27 января 1945 года Горошко вместе со своим отделением проник во вражеский тыл к северу от железнодорожной станции Линден, после чего захватил немецкие окопы, уничтожив около 30 солдат и офицеров противника и захватив двух «языков». 17 мая 1945 года был награждён орденом Славы 2-й степени.

В третий раз был награждён орденом Славы во время боя за населённый пункт Тейхлинден к северу от Олавы. Отделение Горошко в ночь с 10 на 11 февраля 1945 года разгромило вражескую колонну. В том бою Горошко лично уничтожил более 10 солдат и офицеров противника. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 15 мая 1946 года за «образцовое выполнение заданий командования в боях с немецкими захватчиками» гвардии сержант Иван Горошко был награждён орденом Славы 1-й степени.

Послевоенные годы
После окончания войны в звании гвардии старшины Горошко был демобилизован. Проживал и работал в селе Березовка Маловисковского района Кировоградской области Украинской ССР.

Весной 1949 года был арестован по обвинению в службе в полиции органами МВД СССР. Военный трибунал Харьковского гарнизона 16 мая 1950 года приговорил его к 15 годам исправительно-трудовых лагерей. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета ССР от 30 октября 1950 года Иван Горошко был лишён всех званий и наград.

Освободившись в 1955 году, проживал и работал в городе Макеевке. Неоднократно обращался с просьбами о восстановлении в правах на награды, однако всегда получал отказ.

В 1985 году был награждён юбилейным орденом Отечественной войны 2-й степени.

Умер 21 декабря 1990 года.

Q: impossible probabilistic inversion !!! I'm trying to solve $r$ in terms of $L$ in which $L$ can be expressed in terms of $r$ as follows:
$$L = r^{\alpha}$$
where
$$ \alpha = \begin{cases}
\alpha_1,  &\text{with probability} \qquad e^{-\beta r} \\
\alpha_2,  &\text{with probability} \qquad 1-e^{-\beta r}
 \end{cases}$$
in other words $\alpha$ is a Bernoulli RV. But notice that probability of each outcome of $\alpha$ is a function of $r$.
How this can be done?
Thanks in advance.

A: The fact that $\alpha$ is random doesn't change the fact that the relation $L=r^\alpha$ is valid all the time, so can be inverted deterministically. $r=L^{1/\alpha}$. Now if you want to estimate $r$ from an observed value of $L$ without knowledge of $\alpha$, that's another question, to which various stastistical theories can answer (maximum likelihood, bayesian stats...)

Business and Industrial Law
What are the ways in which a Contract can be Discharged?
A contract may be discharged in any of the following ways :
By performance.
By tender of performance
By mutual consent
By subsequent impossibility
By operation of law, and
By breach.
By performance: A party to a contract is said to have actually performed his promise when he has fulfilled all his obligations under the contract. When both the parties have performed their respective promises, a contract is said to have been actually performed. Actual performance brings the contract to an end.
By tender of Performance: Section 37 provides that the parties to a contract must either perform or offer to perform their respective promises. The offer to perform is called tender of performance. If the promisee does not accept performance, the promisor is not responsible for non-performance, nor does he thereby lose his rights under the contract. Thus, a tender of a performance is equivalent to adtual performance.
Essentials of a valid tender
It must be unconditional.
It must be made at proper time and place.
It must be of the whole obligation contracted for and not only of the part.
If the tender relates to delivery of goods, it must give a reasonable opportunity to the promisee for inspection of goods.
It must be made by a person who is in a position and is willing to perform the promise.
It must be made to the proper person.
If there are several joint promisees, an offer to anyone of them is a valid tender.
By Mutual Consent: If the parties to a contract agree to substitute a new contract for it, or to rescind, it or alter it, the original contract is discharged.
By Subsequent Impossibility: In some cases it may so happen that the performance of a contract may become impossible subsequent to the formation of a contract. This is called subsequent impossibility of performance. In such cases the parties are discharged from further performance. Section 56 provides in this regard: 'A contract to do an act which after the contract is made, becomes impossible or by reason of some event which the promisor could not prevent, unlawful, becomes void when the act becomes impossible or unlawful.
The contract becomes void on the ground of subsequent impossibility only if the following conditions are satisfied:
The act should have become impossible.
The impossibility should have been caused by circumstances beyond the control of the parties.
The impossibility should not be the result of the act of the parties.
A contract is deemed to have become impossible of performance and thus void under the following circumstances:
Destruction of the subject -matter of the contract for no fault of the promisor.
By the death or disablement of the promisor, where personal execution by him was necessary.
By the subsequent legislation forbidding the performance.
By declaration of war with the country whose resident the contract was made.
Non-existence or non-occurance of particular stable of thing.
Example: X and Y contract to marry each other. Before the time fixed for the marrige, X goes mad. The contract becomes void.
Exceptions: Under the following cases a contract is not discharged on the ground of supervening impossibility.
Difficulty of performance: Sometimes the performance becomes difficult. In such cases the parties are not discharged from performance on account of certain obstacles to execution of the contract.
Commercial hardship: A party to a contract cannot be discharged from performing it simply on the ground that it is unprofitable for him to perform the contract.
Impossibility due to default of the third party: The doctrine of subsequent impossibility does not apply to cases where a contract could not be performed due to the default of a third person on whose word the promisor relied.
Strikes, lockouts and civil disturbances: Strikes, lockouts and civil disturbances do not discharge the contract unless the parties had specifically agreed in this regard at the time of entering into a contract.
Failure of one of the objects: Sometimes a contract is entered into for achieving more than one object. In such cases if one of the objects fails, the contract is not discharged.
Discharge by operation of law: A contract terminates by operation of law in the following cases.
By the death of the promisor in case involving personal skill or ability.
By insolvency of the promisor.
Sometimes a person enters into a contract by which he gets certain rights which are superior to some rights possessed by him under a contract already entered into by him. In such cases the inferior rights of a person merge into his superior rights. On merger, the inferior rights vanish and that contract is discharged.
By the unauthorized. alteration of terms of written document.
Discharge by breach of contract: Breach of contract by a party thereto is also a method of discharge of contract, because breach of contract also brings to an end the obligations created by a contract on the part of each of the parties. Breach of contract may be of two kinds:
Anticipatory breach, and
Actual breach.

Japanese fly exhibition
By willowhead, December 27, 2007 in The Fly Tying Bench
willowhead 0
Location:Catskills (Willowemoc Creek) Roscoe, N.Y./Ozarks (White River) Lakeview, Arkansas
Guys, as you may or may not know.....the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum has been doing fly exhibitions for the last couple years where they feature the flies of different countries, tyed by countrymen of whatever country is on exhibit at any given point in time. Currently, the show is the flies of Briton. Starting in late '08 or early '09, it will become the flies of Japan. If anyone knows of a Japanese fly tyer who would like to be represented, or if you are Japanese and would like to have your flies in the exhibit.....contact me by PM. It's actually my wife who is co-ordinating this show with the museum, but she has no time for this website. If i hear from you by way of this website, i will put you in touch with her and the two of you can work out the details. Or, you may contact the CFFC&M directly at 845-439-4810 and ask for Jim Krul. Thank you. m.j.romero

Cool. I would like to see that and now that I am in CT I can!

Will all the display flies be tied by exclusively Japanese tiers? Or is the Museum also interested in, say, "Flies of Japan" tied by others?
Any more word on this project, Mark?
(Hello Misako! Kevin)
Steve P 0
Location:Saint Joseph, MO
Kev I just wanted to let you know that Mark is on the road at the moment, the only reason i said something or know that is that he has been here in MO teaching kids to tie flies with me at a local sports show. I'm sure you will be hearing from him in the next few days though, and honestly you might be better served with a PM.
Hi Kevin, how are you. Thankx Steve. Kevin, Misa says hi and good to hear from you. Actually they way they are doing the ever changing exhibition at the CFFC&M is to have flies tyed by the country-men of each country.....so in a sense it's not, (for instance) the Flies of Japan, it's Flies tyed by Japanese Tyers....or Englsih tyers, or French tyers, etc., etc., etc. So far, most of the flies that have been tyed (for previous portions of the exhibition), and sent in, seem to be the original dressing of the tyers who tyed them. So, that would make them, the flies of whatever country by nature. Bottom line is....the hibition is dedicated to the flies of the tyers who come from such and such country. Naturally the tyers ARE tying flies that represent what is fished (and what "WORKS") in their respective countries.....so everything just sort of falls into place. You take care now. Hi to Meg Steve. mark.....


Can you benefit from pooling in-house bodies of knowledge?
Settle for less than optimal?
Many companies are limited by a culture which has developed within the organisations over time, often unwittingly, whereby crucial knowledge and experience has become clustered in various departments of the company, bodies of knowledge. The level of competence in each department can be considerable but the lack of common models and practices can seriously hamper overall performance. One set of findings may appear beneficial to one department, but less so to another using the same data but other models. One example may be buying cheap raw materials and obtaining higher slag volumes, energy usage and lower productivity. Another may involve maintaining perilously low grade inventories forcing the use of premium materials when you have run out of what could have proven fully adequate for a specific process.
Sharing a common model may allow people throughout the organisation to easier attain a common understanding of the overall costs and benefits to a plant.
Management of uncertainty is another challenging aspect that calls for a helicopter perspective of the production.
charges and to adjust the raw material usage accordingly. This kind of analysis is often better performed over a longer period of time and is preferably done by a dedicated team with a competent tool.
Finally, the strategic raw material management is dependent upon an organisation that can provide reliable and consistent data, successfully implementing the chosen models and deliver on decisions. Lacking this capability it becomes increasingly difficult to make decisions on inventory size, investments in raw material sampling, processing etc.
An overall culture of sharing information allows each individual to fully appreciate their specific role and value to the entire system.
This type of practise quickly translates into a host of benefits as each member appreciates that their contribution is valued.
Would it be conceivable to manage this level of complexity without models?
Would it be conceivable to manage without models? No, of course not. Even without computers most people use mental models to help them make the day to day decisions. With computers however, a more complex reality can be handled and decisions documented, monitored and the decision-making improved.
As Einstein said: "A model should be as simple as possible but never simpler". Even with a simple model the quality of data is crucial. Modelling work must always be preceded by implementing data acquisition and data refinement protocols.
With increased competition, raw material scarcity and requirements for sustainable production, demands on the management of resources and production, has increased. There are no quick fixes for any of these realities, yet they do in fact all offer opportunities for everyone from the loader of the baskets, the shop floor manager and all the way up to the CEO of the company.
The truth is that companies who strive to master raw material selection and optimisation, will also see corresponding knock-on improvements in other cost factors.
Using models for raw material management requires a consistent and easily accessible flow of good quality data. In almost every project throughout any company there is a piece of informatics involved which creates an opportunity to improve data accuracy and thus the ability to save money. These constitute Areas for Improvement.
It is our belief that introduction of new technology or new working tools must go hand-in-hand with development of the organization, practices and existing tools throughout the organization. If you want this to happen, prepare for an interesting journey, involving many small steps and spanning almost all development projects throughout the company.
When proposing the introduction of process models, optimization tools, or other changes, one of two arguments are frequently put forward: "We tried it and it did not work" or "Interesting but we simply do not have the time".
Advances in models and the introduction of improved tools, have identified the need to adopt a company-wide approach to their implementation. Limiting the pool of people involved would also limit the effects of any changes made. The inclusion of not only all relevant parts of the organisation, but also making each participant in the change process privy to the goals and their benefits, means that it is now possible to achieve a critical mass – something which was previously unrealistic. Remember that Edison did not succeed with the lightbulb in his first attempt. What about the time factor? Well, it is our experience that the conscientious manager, no matter how swamped, always strives to find time to chart a course ensuring that the company develops consistently in the right direction.

Highest SalariesSome of the best paid athletic trainers, with years of NFL experience, can make more than $100,000 per year. On average NFL trainers are some of the highest paid in the business overall, making much more the national average of $39,640 and bypassing their professional baseball ($36,858), pro hockey ($43,079) and men tennis ($56,000) counterparts.

While they have some very good players on both sides of the ball, they have no real quarterback. When's the last time a team without a quarterback was worth anything?

There'd been no rumors of trouble. As recently as February, Ashton, in a local TV interview, spoke glowingly about her husband why he's so level headed and how she buys him salted caramels as a pregame ritual.

Vegas Vic take: Buffalo first year head coach Sean McDermott spent the last six years as the defensive coordinator for Carolina. Think he familiar? Not thinking of taking the Buffs on the money line although an upset is not out of the question but to just cover this inflated spread.

This is the part where we'll remind everyone that ESPN's deal with the NFL has been a disaster, comparatively: In exchange for $1.9 billion annually, the network gets the set in stone dregs for "Monday Night Football," one playoff game (usually the least appealing of the wild card matchups), no Super Bowls, the right to show highlights and the draft. The amount ESPN pays by itself isn't all that far from what the other three networks pay combined somewhere around $3.5 billion per season and they all get the Super Bowl every couple of years. NBC comes out even better: It gets the Super Bowl plus the right to more or less craft its late season schedule as it sees fit..
According to "USA Today," Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and trainer Ernie Biggs are the accepted forerunners of the tradition of the pride sticker.

Let's face it, most people want to play offense. To be honest, I could careless if someone scores on me quickly. It's those slow, methodical drives that drive me nuts. The game of gridiron football is an icon of Americanism. From its roots in early versions of rugby football brought over the Atlantic from England, football takes it place alongside baseball as the most American of sports. Though its name is somewhat deceptive, and in fact logically unsound, football is the most widely watched sport in the United States, and its championship game, whose name is not known only to those who have been living on the moon for the last fifty years, the super bowl is the most watched television event in the United States.
The Ravens will play a game outside of the continental United States for the first time in their history when they tangle with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London.

Most jobs routinely involve travel and irregular hours.Top Pay LevelsAny profession has a top tier with compensation that is much higher than average. Sports analysts who are currently at the "top of their game" include Bob Costas, Dan Patrick, Jim Nantz, Joe Buck and Al Michaels all are reportedly paid about $5 million per year. However, a recent hiring trend among major broadcasting networks is to hire recently retired athletes as sports analysts.
It's just a game people. I know I had to come to the realization. It was hard. Asked about calling such an inquiry, a senior official in Wall office responded: this point, we are not ruling out anything with regard to further review of this matter. However, it would not be appropriate to initiate any further review while this matter is still under police investigation. When the police investigation is concluded, the government will consider what further action may be required.
Drew Brees, NO, vs. Tampa Bay: This Bucs defense showed zero improvement over last season when it was dismantled by rookie Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. If the Bucs can't slow down a rookie on their home turf, what chance do they have against Brees on the road? The likelihood of success has positioned Brees to lead all quarterbacks in fantasy scoring this week after he threw for 355 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 road loss to Arizona.

Trump did at a rally in Huntsville, Ala., and it is what he continued to do throughout the weekend via his Twitter account (along with some missives about health care policy and potential nuclear war). Again, that is fact, and in case his intent was in doubt, he became increasingly unequivocal as the weekend wore on. He addressed Roger Goodell directly, urging the commissioner to change the NFL policy on anthem etiquette.

Oregon hits the road for what might be its toughest non conference game. The gameplan USC decided to use against Stanford featured a battle of wills. Colorado defense doesn seem to have lost much. Why are sports posters and prints so popular? For one thing, they are tough to make yourself. While the ability to take great photos yourself and even have them blown up to poster size has become markedly accessible, sports photography remains a particular challenge and it is unlikely you will get the same quality shot, even if you have great seats at a game. Photographers with passes will still get closer than the best seats, and thus will have an advantage of perspective as well as talent.

ProspectsAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of radio and television announcer positions is projected to decrease by 6 percent between 2008 and 2018. This is a result of multiple factors including consolidation of broadcasting companies and the improvement of technology in the industry. Those interested in the field may have to take low paying or volunteer positions to work their way up to higher paying DJ positions.
That's not always the case. Miami had Dan Marino and they went to one Super Bowl and lost. In theory, it should be easier, but it's not always the case.

NFL groundskeepers have the duty of ensuring that the playing fields are in the best condition possible on game day.

The 10 page letter, written by active players Michael Bennett, Malcolm Jenkins and Torrey Smith and the retired Anquan Boldin, shows that NFL players are showing no inclination to "stick to sports" in the debate that began in the summer of 2016, when Colin Kaepernick made a statement about police brutality and social injustice by refusing to stand for the national anthem.

You need to have a good knowledge of the players before the draft and it is recommended to look up player stats and predictions prior to the draft if you don't feel confident in your knowledge of the players. Players to be avoided are players that can score big points but don't score well consistently.

The Do's and Don'ts of Product Tour UX
Virtual product tours are one of the best ways to highlight the value that your products can offer your prospective users. They're ideal for showing users around your UI, introducing new features, and helping existing users get to those crucial "Aha!" moments.
However, product tours can also be a major source of frustration if handled poorly.
As with virtually every aspect of product development, there's no "right" layout or UI pattern when it comes to product tours; every product is different as are the needs of your users. That said, there are several UI layouts that lend themselves particularly well to product tours, and in this post, we'll be taking a look at some of them.
Before you can make an informed decision about which layout is best for your users, you'll need to think carefully about what your users are trying to do and the problems they're trying to solve.
Designing Product Tours for End Users
One of the most effective ways of avoiding common product tour pitfalls is to design your tour with the end user in mind. The idea isn't just to anticipate users' needs from a feature development perspective but to empathize with their problems, needs, and preferences.
Although it's pretty difficult to be truly objective about your product and its UI, there are several elements you should consider:
How broad is your product's range of functionality? Is your product largely singular in its focus, like PayPal or Uber, or does it offer a wide range of tools and features, like Salesforce or Airtable? The greater the range of features offered by your product, the more targeted your guided user flows and product tours should be.
Is your UI unique? As UI and UX professionals, it's our job to create innovative, intuitive interfaces for our users. Is your UI truly unique, or does it borrow familiar elements from similar products? It's worth bearing in mind that higher degrees of uniqueness don't necessarily translate to lower ease of use. When users first log into your product, is it immediately obvious what they should do?
What are your users' primary motivations? By the time a user takes your product tour, how motivated are your users likely to be? This aspect of product development is often dependent upon other factors beyond the product itself, such as the messaging and positioning of your marketing.
How savvy are your users? While it's important to design your products and interfaces with specific user personas in mind, is your product accessible to a range of users? Does successfully navigating or using your product rely on a minimum threshold of technological knowledge or experience?
"One of the most effective ways of avoiding common product tour pitfalls is to design your tour with the end user in mind. The idea isn't just to anticipate users' needs from a feature development perspective but to empathize with their problems, needs, and preferences."
How to Choose the Right UI Pattern for Your Product Tour
Once you've comprehensively evaluated the needs of your users, you can figure out how much guidance you should provide in your product tour. However, this isn't the sole consideration you should bear in mind; you should also think about how much to ask of your users. Your users' attention is limited, so it's vital not to ask too much of your users even when trying to highlight the value of your product.
Here are several examples of popular UI patterns utilized in many virtual product tours listed in order of the most attention-grabbing to the least.
The Personal Trainer
Tooltips are among the most versatile tools at your disposal, and they're particularly well-suited to product tours. This is because tooltips are usually action-driven, which makes them ideal for guiding users through multi-stage processes.
Google's online advertising platform AdWords utilizes sequential tooltips to great effect. Although AdWords is relatively simple to use (considering the potential complexity of pay-per-click advertising), its UI can be very intimidating to newcomers, which makes Google's tooltip-driven tour of AdWords' UI so compelling. Google uses hand-drawn-style arrows to highlight key parts of the UI, which makes the tour even more accessible:
This example also highlights the importance of choosing which features to highlight in your tours. Sure, you could draw your users' attention to less-than-critical product features but doing so risks overwhelming or confusing your users, which can result in them abandoning the tour before they've finished.
The Teaching Assistant
While tooltips are commonly used to draw users' attention to action-driven functions, they can also be used to point out tools and features that don't require users to do anything. This approach can be highly effective when introducing optional functionality or for emphasizing non-sequential workflows.
Non-sequential tooltips are also ideal for highlighting features that aren't essential to a product's use but could also help users drive engagement. Video hosting platform Wistia does this masterfully in its tour, which utilizes non-sequential tooltips to point out optional features that can result in a better experience, such as completing a user's profile:
One of tooltips' greatest strengths is that they can (and should) be tailored to specific users based on predefined conditions, such as the length of time between a user signing up and actually using a product or whether a user has accessed a specific feature.
If you choose to include tooltips in your product tour experience, be sure that they look and feel seamless to the wider experience and UI of your product.
The Welcoming Committee
Another common design convention in product tours is modal windows—floating windows that appear "on top" of a product's UI without being interruptive.
Modal windows are perfect for providing users with a brief, high-level overview of a feature or process without forcing them to explore that process.
Crowdfunding platform IndieGoGo leverages modal windows in its tours, relying on them to quickly introduce feature overviews without bogging users down with a step-by-step demonstration of how these features work. In the screenshot below, for example, you can see how IndieGoGo relies on modal windows to introduce users to its Campaign Tagging feature using a brief animated GIF to show users how the feature works:
Google is also known for its use of modal windows across its ever-increasing range of tools and products. In the example below, Google uses a modal window to quickly highlight new features in its Calendar product:
Google could have used tooltips to show off Calendar's new features, but this might have been too much for this stage of the overall experience; Google understands that, as potentially useful as these features are, asking users to complete a sample action probably isn't the best approach in this situation. In this context, a brief modal window is perfectly sufficient for demonstrating the new feature quickly and non-interruptively.
The Friendly Reminder
Sometimes, users need a gentle nudge to get the most out of a product. Although tooltips can achieve the desired result, oftentimes a more direct—yet strategic—approach is required.
This is where hotspots come into play.
Hotspots are small icons that users have to click in order to engage with the features they highlight. Hotspots are commonly small circular icons that can be overlaid on top of certain UI elements to draw the user's attention to them. What makes hotspots so versatile is that they're inconspicuous and need to be actively engaged with, making them remarkably non-intrusive. Users who want to learn more about a feature can do so, whereas users who aren't interested in a particular feature can largely ignore them.
Task management software Asana utilizes hotspots to highlight new features, as in the example below. Users can click on a hotspot to expand a guided navigational element showing them how to access a new feature—in this case, how to add a project to a team-based view of tasks to be completed:
Google also relies on hotspots across many of its properties, including Google Flights. In the screenshot below, you can see how Google brings the user's attention to its price-tracking functionality that travelers can use to keep track of changes in their airfare for a planned trip:
One of the biggest advantages of hotspots is that they can be easily configured to appear every single time a user accesses a page or feature or just the first time. In Asana's case, the hotspot disappears once a user has taken the action highlighted by the hotspot, whereas Google Flight's price tracker includes hotspots for as long as the user has price tracking enabled.
Quantify, Optimize, Repeat
As with almost every other element of UI design, product tours should be constantly tested and iterated upon to ensure they are as intuitive, non-interruptive, and useful as possible. Once you've designed and built your initial product tour, you can begin conducting user research and evaluating your product's analytics to ensure your tour is helping—not frustrating—your users and make improvements based on how your audience is interacting with your product.
It's also worth bearing in mind that you're not limited to using just one of the navigational elements above in your tours. You can mix and match depending on which features you want to highlight; some elements may deserve more attention (and explanation) than others, so don't be afraid to combine the techniques above until you discover what works best for your users and your product.

Delhi Monsoon 2000: Weather experts say, the early arrival of the monsoon in Delhi can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation, which moved towards southwest Uttar Pradesh on June 19-20
All IndiaEdited by Debjani Chatterjee (with inputs from PTI)Updated: June 23, 2020 9:59 pm IST
Monsoon expected to reach Delhi in next 2 days, the weather office said
Good news for Delhi; monsoon is knocking at its doors. The weather office has said monsoon is likely to reach the city in two days and heavy rain is expected on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures dropped a few notches in northern India, bringing respite from sweltering heat.
"Conditions are favourable for further advancement of monsoon into the remaining parts of Uttar Pradesh, entire western Himalayan region, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, most parts of Punjab and some parts of Rajasthan during the next 48 hours," the India Meteorological Department told news agency PTI.
Weather experts believe, the early arrival of the monsoon in Delhi can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation, which moved towards southwest Uttar Pradesh on June 19 and June 20.
It was a cloudy day in Delhi with the maximum temperature around 37 degrees Celsius, two degrees below normal. In Haryana and Punjab also, the maximum temperatures remained below normal. Chandigarh experienced a pleasant day with the maximum temperature a little above 35 degrees Celsius at this time of the year.
The weather office also predicted thundershowers and light to moderate rainfall in eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh. The state is expected to get heavy rain at many places on June 24, 25 and 26.
The met department has warned of a cyclonic circulation over interior Odisha and the neighbouring areas and it is likely to move north westwards in the next three days. This will also create favourable conditions for the monsoons to advance.
The Southwest monsoon has been fairly active over large parts of India. The met department, in its long-range forecast, said monsoon will be normal with an average of 96 per cent to 104 per cent rainfall this year.

Ahmad bin Fahd Al-Mezyed, CEO of Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Culture, used the 2018 Cannes Film Festival as a cinematic backdrop to garner international interest in the Saudi film and television industry. His announcement of generous commercial incentives for moviemakers follows related developments in the country: The popular superhero film "Black Panther" was screened in April after a 35-year ban on cinemas and the government launched the Saudi Film Council in March.
The General Entertainment Authority – established alongside the General Authority for Culture in May 2016 – plans to invest $64 billion in the entertainment sector as part of the country's broad Vision 2030 strategy. Government officials expect to create between 200,000 and 300,000 new jobs and they hope the private sector will shoulder 60 percent of the costs. Specific investments in the film and television industry may help to accomplish a Vision 2030 goal of boosting household spending on cultural and entertainment activities inside the kingdom. Yet domestic and regional constraints will complicate the country's efforts to develop a sustainable film and television industry in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.
Next Stop, Saudiwood
The industry's potential for increasing national employment opportunities is unclear. Many of the roles with cinema operators and similar entertainment providers represent the low-skilled, service-oriented positions often eschewed by national jobseekers because of social stigmas surrounding the service industry and a significant wage gap caused by higher-paying government positions. However, government officials anticipate that creative roles, such as those in visual effects, computer-generated imagery, and animation, will attract young Saudis.
The industry's long-term growth potential also remains a concern. According to the World Economic Forum, jobs in the arts, design, entertainment, media, and sports have among the lowest expected growth rates – only outperforming manufacturing and production, and office and administration roles.
In theory, foreign direct investments facilitate the transfer of new technologies, management experience, and professional skills to local firms, which can boost productivity in host economies. Yet creating such positive productivity spillovers associated with the film and television industry involves not only transforming Saudi Arabia into an attractive hub for Hollywood, Bollywood, and Nigeria's Nollywood studios but also granting more autonomy to local and foreign private sector actors. The state has not demonstrated a steadfast commitment in this realm, and rather has tightened control over the domestic and regional media landscape.
Considering the power dynamics between the government and local broadcasters, the industry has little choice but to operate on the state's terms. The owner of the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC), Waleed al-Ibrahim, was forced to surrender his company shares to Saudi authorities during the anti-corruption campaign in late 2017. The newly government-controlled MBC, which holds a 50 percent market share in the country, dropped all of the widely popular Turkish soap operas and drama series from its channels in March. The Saudi Broadcasting Corporation, a government-owned entity, also recently pressured producers of an Egyptian Ramadan series, "Ard El-Nefaq" (Land of Hypocrisy), to remove a guest appearance by Ibrahim Eissa, a popular Egyptian journalist with critical views of Saudi foreign policy.
Mission Impossible?
Despite widespread beliefs that change is on the horizon, international film studios remain wary of Saudi Arabia's recent record of state intervention in the media industry and longer history of social conservatism. Questions concerning the treatment of (foreign) female employees and how they would work in the country abound. Referring to an absence of clear commercial frameworks, Mezyed bluntly stated, "We are at the beginning of our journey."
Global film studios may not be keen to wait. Well-established alternatives have existed in the region for nearly two decades, mainly operating within the confines of media-focused free zones and special economic zones. The Egyptian Media Production City and Jordan Media City launched in 2000 and 2001, respectively. International studios likewise started treating the United Arab Emirates as a serious filming destination after the producers of "Syriana" chose Dubai as a filming location in 2005. Dubai Studio City and Abu Dhabi's twofour54 subsequently secured a series of high-profile Hollywood and Bollywood contracts, which included blockbuster hits such as "Fast & Furious VII" and "Star Wars VII."
When compared with Saudi Arabia's recent efforts to develop its industry, the UAE possesses the first-mover advantage within the Gulf Cooperation Council states. The country boasts the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, the Dubai Film & TV Commission, and international film festivals in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In 2008, the UAE launched Image Nation, a film production company endowed with a fund of $1 billion and specifically tasked with developing national talent in the industry.
As a late entrant, Saudi Arabia can learn useful lessons from neighboring countries about constructive engagement with global film studios. For example, Abu Dhabi denied permission for the producers of "Sex and the City 2" to film in the emirate; the producers subsequently filmed in Morocco and marketed the film as taking place in Abu Dhabi. This upset the UAE's media council, which believed the film company intentionally misled global audiences, as well as local film groups eyeing commercial opportunities and seeking to boost the emirate's reputation as a filming location.
The Saudi Project
Publicizing Saudi Arabia's liberalizing reforms is critical for attracting foreign firms and highlighting progress on Vision 2030's social objectives. Local social media celebrities – including rappers and YouTube stars – offer powerful channels for promoting the country as an increasingly open and moderate media hub. Three of the top 10 female social media influencers in the Arab world are Saudi, according to a Forbes study. Yet the social media realm remains vulnerable to state control and market regulation. For example, the UAE's National Media Council declared in March that social media influencers must obtain e-media licenses to work in the country.
Saudi Arabia should limit its market interventions and provide short-term incentives for investment to extract the maximum value from the film and media industry. The country has, thus far, relied on the power of economic largesse to garner global interest from film studios: The government will provide a 35 percent location rebate and a 50 percent rebate for firms that hire local talent. These commercial incentives risk undercutting state-owned media outfits in neighboring countries, but Saudi Arabia is betting that the economic pie connected to the industry is large enough to share.
