MOSCOW, Feb 8 (PRIME) -- Moscow still sees the Nord Stream-2 natural gas pipeline as the most economically sound and reliable route for delivery of natural gas to the E.U., President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.
"We are still sure that the project lies within the interests of gas consumers and of Russia as a gas supplier. We are still sure that it is much better from an economic point of view than any other competitive routes of delivery of the blue fuel to the European continent," he said.
On Thursday, a representative of the French Foreign Ministry said that France planned to support revision of the E.U. gas directive, under which the third energy package can be applicable for the Nord Stream-2 retroactively.
The Nord Stream-2 project envisages construction of two lines of a natural gas pipeline with an annual capacity of up to 55 billion cubic meters, running from the Russian shore to Germany under the Baltic Sea. Gazprom will implement the project together with Germany's E.ON and BASF, Royal Dutch Shell, OMV, and France's Engie.
The U.S. opposition to the Nord Stream-2 is incompatible with fair competition, as Washington is trying to make the E.U. buy gas that is 30% more expensive, he said.
The Nord Stream-2 will not raise E.U. dependency on Russian gas, as it ensures codependency to the same degree. "As much as Europeans are dependent on Russian gas, Russia is dependent on European demand as a supplier," he said.
Peskov also said that British oil giant BP's CEO Robert Dudley on Thursday suggested that Putin sets up roundtable talks with representatives of the British businesses that continue working in Russia, and that Putin supported the proposal.

Say No to Vaccine Passports
The organisation I work with, the Canberra Declaration, has launched a new petition calling on the Australian government and private companies to reject the use of vaccination certificates. I encourage all Australians to sign it. The petition is called Vaccine Passports: No Way, and it reads as follows:
What makes Australia so wonderful is our long-held belief in the dignity of the human person and the many values and freedoms that flow from this.
Every Australian has the right to seek medical treatment, including vaccination against COVID-19. But no Aussie should be coerced into receiving this treatment by the introduction of a vaccine certificate or passport. It is unconscionable for the government or corporate bodies to make a citizen's travel, work, study or other everyday affairs dependent on a medical procedure.
Countless Australians who have had other routine vaccinations remain hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine until more data is available. Forcing Aussies to go against their conscience and better judgment, simply to continue enjoying normal civic life, is deeply unethical and discriminatory. Vaccine passports have no place in a free society like Australia.
If Australia — or any other nation — wants foreign visitors to be vaccinated, that is a separate issue. But a civilised and democratic nation like Australia must not compel its own people to undertake a medical procedure, or divulge private medical data, just to maintain their longstanding freedoms. Travelling domestically, returning from overseas, and accessing jobs, services, sports and social events must not be made contingent on a vaccine passport.
The sanctity of life and the freedom of conscience are non-negotiable human rights. If we abandon these, the social fabric of Australian society will be seriously weakened, to our personal and collective detriment.
We insist on the right of all Australians to be protected from government and private incursions on our sacred rights. We speak up in defence of freedom. We say no to vaccine passports. And we call on all like-minded citizens to support and sign this petition.

One thought on "Say No to Vaccine Passports"
Nigel Siebert
Thanks for taking this important step. It is important that those who decline to be vaccinated for ethical reasons are not marginalised. Both vaccines used foetal cell lines, either for development or for testing for efficacy and safety. Although the Catholic Church has said taking the vaccine is conscionable, it has also said that there should be no compulsion so everyone can decide according to their conscience.

Ford Explorer is a very important and popular model in the history of the American vehicle industry. It is tough to imagine in which way the development of SUVs would move if Ford didn't provide this vehicle in 1990. It was advanced relocation. For the first time, we had a combination of driving attributes of automobile and abilities of an off-road vehicle. The 2019 Ford Explorer will continue with tradition. Nevertheless, the crossover is now a contemporary vehicle with a bold appearance. Likewise, this section is growing and convenience is now even much better than in sedans.
In 2011, Ford launched the 5th generation of its famous crossover. Ever since the Explorer had no significant updates. Headlights of 2019 Ford Explorer are similar to these we can find on Flex, Edge, and F-150 models. Entire front fascia is giving more aggressive style. Some fans will slam the transfer to change blocky lines with more aerodynamic services. But, a lot of will agree that 2019 Explorer looks rather modern. The SUV keeps its measurement and remains one of the bigger crossovers in the class. It will also show in the interior area. But, the Explorer is not going to lose on maneuverability.
The standard engine on all trim levels, except the Sport, is the 3.5-l V6 Duratec. It is capable to provide 290 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, the power is transmitted to the front wheels. An AWD is optional features. Both drive modes use a six-speed automated transmission as a router. Another alternative is also 3.5-liter V-8, but EcoBoost unit. The twin-turbo drivetrain can make 365 horse and 350 pound-feet of torque. Lastly, there is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost mill for Sport trim level. It doesn't do not have power with an output of 280 hp. Furthermore, this system comes with 310 lb-ft of torque.
The 2019 Ford Explorer will compete Jeep Grand Cherokee and Mazda CX-9. However, competitors in this class is more than tough. Purchasers will have plenty more options. A beginning price of $33,000 is not so inexpensive. So, buyers could pull out for significantly less expensive Hyundai Santa Fe.


SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co, which is reeling from tumbling sales in China, is considering cutting capacity at its factories in its biggest market, Chief Executive Lee Won-hee said, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Lee made the comments at a meeting with analysts and investors on Wednesday, the people who attended the event told Reuters.
He told the meeting that the automaker is considering addressing overcapacity at its old factories in China, while slashing headcount in the country, according to a note from one of the people which was seen by Reuters.
A Hyundai Motor spokeswoman said that the automaker is "reviewing various optimization plans to enhance facility efficiency" and has begun voluntary retirement for employees in China.
China's auto industry, the world's biggest, is slowing after strong recent growth, with demand hit a weakening economy and the fallout of trade frictions with the United States. China's car sales fell 2.8 percent in 2018, marking the first contraction since the 1990s, according to industry association data.
Lee said Hyundai is also considering shipping vehicle kits from China to Philippines, South America and other countries for local assembly, the note said.
He said that GM, Ford and Honda are also slashing global excess capacity, the note added. Lee said globally automakers have the capacity to produce 135 million vehicles a year, 31 percent higher than the industry demand of 95 million vehicles, according to the note.

9 Successful Brands Launched During Downturns
This is a blog post by Drea Knufken.
Economic downturns aren't only about damage. Throughout recent history, opportunistic companies have taken advantage of downturns to launch brands that enjoyed success for decades to come. Using timing and ingenuity, these 9 successful brands turned downturns into windfalls.
More than 75 years later, Kellogg's Great Depression-era brand remains a hit.
When the Great Depression hit, Post cereal cut back heavily on ads in order to conserve money. Kellogg, Post's main competitor, did the opposite. The company poured money into ad campaigns, creating a new cereal called Rice Krispies. Snap, Crackle, and Pop helped boost Post's profits by about 30% by 1933, according to the New Yorker's James Surowiecki. Kellogg remains on top to this day.
Chrysler overtook Ford as the country's second-biggest automaker in 1933, thanks to Plymouth cars.
Plymouth, launched as a separate brand 1929, was Chrysler's first foray into the low-priced market. The cars' crowd-pleasing features, which included hydraulic shock absorbers, helped it become one of the Great Depression's only successful car brands.
Kraft's cheaper version of mayonnaise become an instant hit during the Great Depression.
Max Crossett must be rolling in his grave. The Washington state-based inventor of Crossett's X-tra Fine Salad Dressing sold brand rights to Kraft in 1931 for $300. Kraft rebranded the stuff as Miracle Whip, then sold it as a cheap mayonnaise alternative. It became the nation's bestselling dressing in only six months, writes the New Yorker's Surowiecki.
Apple launched one of its flagship products during the 2001 recession.
Steve Jobs unveiled the iPod in October 2001, when the country was still reeling from the September 11 attacks. It's now one of the decade's biggest success stories. By 2005, Apple owned more than a quarter of the worldwide mp3 market. In April 2007, Apple announced it had sold 100 million iPods. Apple is on fire, thanks to its penchant to innovate in all kinds of economic climates.
Federal Express launched just six months before the 1973 oil crisis, establishing a brand new industry amidst economic turmoil.
FedEx began with 14 small planes at the Memphis International Airport. Founder Frederick W. Smith hoped to address a market need for 1-2 day package and freight delivery, which at the time was very difficult. His plan worked. By 1975, the company became the number one carrier of high-priority goods and set a new standard for the industry it established, according to FedEx's website. Today, the company's couriers log about 2.5 million miles a day through seven global operating companies.
ConAgra's low sodium, lowfat frozen meals became a hit during the early 1990s recession.
Former ConAgra CEO Mike Harper had a rather auspicious heart attack in 1989. He came up with Healthy Choice, a new line of frozen meals for health-conscious consumers, after reevaluating his own eating habits. The brand launched just in time for the 1989-92 recession. Sales reached $350 million, with 10% market share, in under three years, according to this BNet article. Today, Healthy Choice is successful enough to have Julia Dreyfuss as a spokesperson.
What Does LLC Mean?
By providing the best warranties and guarantees in the industry, Hyundai is becoming a prominent US auto brand.
Previously plagued by quality issues, Hyundai righted its reputation by providing a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty, previously unheard of in the auto industry. In 2008, it created the popular Hyundai Assurance program, which lets customers return their cars if they lose their jobs. The plan worked. The January, Hyundai's US sales were up 14% compared to last year, according to Knowledge@Wharton. Between January-April of this year, its market share rose 0.7%. Not bad for an industry where double-digit declines have become commonplace.
The Scott Paper Company's napkins and paper towels became household staples, even though many products launched during economic downturns.
The Scott Paper Company (now part of Kimberly Clark) practically mastered the art of launching brands during recessions. Founded at the head of the 1879 US recession, Scott introduced the nation's kitchens to paper towels in 1931. By 1939, it was the best-selling brand in the country, according to the Scott website. The company launched pastel-colored products and jumbo-sized paper tower rolls just in time for the 1958 recession. It remains a household name today, although one wonders how many more ridges and plies a company can create to mark up toilet paper.
9. Penguin Publishing
Quality books for cheap: A business model that endures.
In 1935, publisher Allen Lane came up with the idea to sell good books for rock-bottom prices. Penguin Publishing was the result. Lane made sure that his cheap, quality books found their way not only to bookshops, but to general stores, corner stores, and railways as well.
Before Penguin, paperback books contained gaudy, unliterary content. With his new model, Lane changed the game. Less than a year after launch, Penguin had printed one million paperbacks. Today, Penguin publishes globally through owner Pearson PLC, a London-based media conglomerate.

Press Release: Saviors and Survivors by Mahmood Mamdani
*Now Available in Paperback*
SAVIORS AND SURVIVORS
Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror
By Mahmood Mamdani
"Mahmood Mamdani . . . is one of the most penetrating analysts of African affairs. . . . He has written a learned book that reintroduces history into the discussion of the Darfur crisis and questions the logic and even the good faith of those who seek to place it at the pinnacle of Africa's recent troubles. . . . [An] important book."
—Howard W. French, New York Times
"Say 'Darfur' and horrific images leap to mind: Janjawiid, rape, genocide. But most of us would be hard-pressed to explain the violence there, beyond the popular notion that it's ethnic cleansing of Africans by Arabs. Columbia University scholar Mahmood Mamdani's brilliant new book, Saviors and Survivors, explains why this assumption is faulty, and why it's foiling peace efforts."
—Katie Baker, Newsweek
"A vivid demonstration of the predictably calamitous results of outsiders meddling in places whose history, politics, and culture they can hardly be bothered to read up on."
—Benjamin Moser, Harper's Magazine
An international topic since 2004, with the recent elections, Ponzi scheme protestors, and UN peacekeepers' kidnappings, Darfur is still very much in turmoil. Now, from Mahmood Mamdani, comes an understanding of that turmoil, SAVIORS AND SURVIVORS: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror (Doubleday Religion; on sale May 25, 2010; $16.00 trade paperback), a groundbreaking and definitive analysis of the crisis in Darfur that considers, unlike any other book on the subject, the events of the last few years within the broad context of the history of Sudan, and that examines the efficacy of the world's response to the crisis.
Mamdani, who is the author of the critically acclaimed Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, has written an important and provocative work that goes against the grain of what is perceived as the current situation in Darfur. Illuminating the deeply rooted causes of the current conflict, Mamdani explains how it began as a civil war (1987–89) triggered by a severe drought. The war's effects were shaped by how British colonial officials had tribalized Darfur, dividing its population between "native" and "settler" tribes, creating homelands for the former at the expense of the latter. The war intensified in the 1990s when the Sudanese government tried, unsuccessfully, to address this problem by creating homelands for tribes without any. The involvement of opposition parties gave rise in 2003 to two rebel movements, leading to a brutal insurgency and a horrific counterinsurgency—but not to genocide, as the West has declared.
Mamdani explains how the Cold War exacerbated the forty-year civil war in Chad, viciously affecting neighboring Darfur. By 2003, the conflict involved national, regional, and global forces, including the powerful Western lobby, which called for a military invasion dressed up as a "humanitarian intervention."
Incisive and authoritative, SAVIORS AND SURVIVORS radically alters our understanding of the ongoing crisis in Darfur.
A political scientist and anthropologist, Mahmood Mamdani is Herbert Lehman Professor of Government in the Departments of Anthropology and Political Science and the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. He was a founding director of the Centre for Basic Research in Kampala, Uganda's first nongovernmental research organization. His previous books include Good Muslim, Bad Muslim; Citizen and Subject (which won the Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association of the United States), and When Victims Become Killers. From Uganda, he now divides his time between New York and Kampala.

We talk with Elizabeth Marshall Thomas about her memoir, Dreaming of Lions: My Life In The Wild Places. She writes about her life with the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert and other people of the Old Way.
And wildlife conservationist Dale Peterson discusses his latest book, Where Have All The Animals Gone? My Travels with Karl Ammann. It's about his efforts to document the bushmeat trade and other human impacts threatening extinction for apes, elephants and giraffes. We also speak with him about another of his books, The Moral Lives of Animals.
When Elizabeth Marshall Thomas was a young woman, her father decided to take his family on a trip to a vast and unmapped wilderness. He chose the Kalahari Desert and the journey changed Thomas' life.
She spent years with the Kalahari Bushmen, the earliest people from whom all of us are most likely descended. She learned how they mapped their territory through memory, song and the encyclopedic knowledge they built up about their surroundings.
Through her experiences with them and other peoples of Africa, Thomas learned the intimate rhythms that have connected human beings with the natural world for aeons. It is a knowledge we lose to our peril.
Elizabeth Marshall Thomas went on to write both fiction and non-fiction books about Africa, including the Harmless People and The Old Way. She is also the author of books about domestic animals, the Hidden Life of Dogs and the Tribe of Tiger. Her novels, Reindeer Moon and The Animal Wife explore how life was lived in Paleolithic times.
Now, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has come out with a memoir, Dreaming of Lions: My Life In The Wild Places. It tells not only of her years in Africa, some of which were hair-raising, but also about her personal struggles with addiction and family tragedy.
Our appetites are driving our closest animal relatives — gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos — to extinction. One reason is habitat loss from encroaching human populations. But another reason might surprise you — the globalization of the bushmeat trade.
It seems like eating endangered species gives a thrill to the global elite. And it's not just apes: elephants are being decimated for the international ivory trade.
Over the last fifteen years, wildlife conservationist Dale Peterson has teamed up with photographer Karl Ammann to produce three books about apes, elephants, and giraffes. His latest is Where Have All the Animals Gone?
We also speak with him about another of his books, The Moral Lives of Animals.
Dale Peterson has written many books on wildlife conservation as well as a biography of Jane Goodall. He also created PEN-New England's Henry David Thoreau Prize for Literary Excellence in Nature Writing.

Alarmist fundraising
When was the last time you received from a non-profit organization an e-mail or 'snail mail' letter begging for money in an alarmist fashion?
For many of you reading this column, probably not too long ago.
"Donate now! Do it now! Please! We desperately need your help!! Time is running out!! We're going to die if you don't send your very generous donation right now!!"
Well, something along those lines.
Every so often, I'll hear about some reputable organization spending money — donors' money — on items or services that are at best questionable. When I hear about such things, I can't help but think of the alarmist fundraising letters sent out by certain organizations and wonder to myself, what's wrong with this picture?
Look, I do realize that non-profit organizations need money to operate. And many of them do indeed do good work. In fact, if I had extra money to give, there are several organizations to which I would donate. But is it appropriate for these organizations to regularly disseminate near-hysterical fundraising pitches, especially when employees of said organizations are making decent-to-very-good salaries and, in some cases, money is being spent in a questionable manner?
We often hear of government waste — and there is a lot of that, no doubt — but what about the wasteful spending by some non-profit organizations whose donors assume their money is going toward funding works of charity?
I'm not singling out any one organization, nor am I suggesting that all non-profit organizations spend money inappropriately. That's obviously not the case. But I do believe people should be wary of organizations that constantly sound the alarm in nearly every fundraising letter they send out. Don't be afraid to do a little investigating.
A couple of months ago, I received the following (edited) e-mail solicitation from a Catholic company that shall remain nameless:
'This past weekend, former President Bill Clinton spent 800 times more on his daughter's wedding than did an entire group of 20,000 Catholics who were asked to help a desperate non-profit Catholic group. Noting the disproportion between the estimated $3 million Bill Clinton spent for the wedding and the $4,000 that 20,000 Catholics donated to his [redacted], [redacted] said, 'It's certainly discouraging. Not that Bill Clinton would spend that much: he's always been passionate about the things he wants, and never hesitated to go out and get them. He wants Chelsea to have a big wedding? She gets it.'
'But when I see 20,000 Catholics respond to a desperate appeal with contributions less than what one man pays to rent Port-a-Pottys for a day, I wonder how many of those Catholics really want what they think they want. Even good Catholics are spending more time on Facebook [and] giving less to the Church than to Comcast. It's Monday morning, and what's the score?' asks [redacted]. 'The Clintons 800; Catholics 1.'
'Friday, [redacted] needed $30,000 to continue; this morning it still needs $26,000 (just a bit more than Bill paid for hair and makeup). Says [redacted]: 'Without strong financial help from committed Catholics, we can't recover. Nor do I have the strength to start anew. There's only so much a man can take. Maybe this lack of support means it's time for us to leave the field.' Is it too late to help? 'No. I have $26,000 in overdue bills I must pay this week. If I can do that, we'll be stable again.' And if you don't succeed? 'We cease [operating].' Then the score would be: Clintons 800; Catholics 0.'
Normally I don't respond to such e-mails, but this one irked me. So I responded:
"I'm sorry that [redacted] isn't doing better financially, but, in my opinion, an e-letter such as this is bordering on insulting. I think it's safe to say that Bill Clinton has a lot more money than most of, if not all, the Catholics on your e-mail list. Times are tough for many people; the money just isn't there. I'm presently unemployed and I don't get paid for my columns. Wouldn't it be far more charitable on your part to thank those who have been able to donate to [redacted] and nicely ask for additional donations from those who are able to do so?"
The company's owner responded:
"I live in a city of little more than 100,000 people that has in it probably thirty Catholic churches built in the late 1800's when Manchester was populated largely by poor Irish and French-Canadian immigrants who had barely enough to eat and yet gave of what little they had to build glorious churches. Now half to three-quarters of those churches are closed, while Catholics drive SUVs.
"Were Catholics today to give to the Church and related causes in the proportion of their income that they did 120 years ago, this would be a glorious time for Catholicism and its apostolates; instead, we stumble from month to month and you don't get paid at all. I think this, and even more so, the closing of the Catholic schools and churches, is a sign of the drying up of generosity in the Catholic heart. And were it a matter of the economy, Protestant churches would be struggling, too, but most are not: they rightly preach sacrifice and stewardship, and their people hear."
Several days later, the company sent out the following (edited) e-mail:
'Thus (I imagine) ran the thoughts of the nine lepers Jesus healed, the ones who failed to go back to thank Him. It's not that they were ungrateful; they just suddenly had so much to do. And though I've often thought otherwise, this morning I realized that I'm one of the nine lepers who didn't return.
'You see, last week I cried out twice for contributions to save our non-profit Catholic [company], and hundreds of you responded, affording us enough money to continue. With money in hand to take up the projects I'd put on hold, I rushed forward eagerly, to engage my people and take on the world. But I didn't pause to thank you . . . for your contributions and your prayers.
'Then just this morning into my thoughts came the story of the lepers and the realization that like the nine, I'd not given thanks to the ones who'd saved me. I fear that financial desperation has begun to cripple me spiritually. For the moment, however, I'm healed; and although we are still quite poor, the company is stable again.
'By means of this letter, I return to you — to each of you who made a donation and offered a prayer — and thank you for saving our company. I promise to renew my prayers for you, and to beg God to nurture in me and in you the sweet virtue of gratitude, without which we will never know the Lord. Thank you, and please pray for us.'
And for me as well.

Ancient mysterious ruins have been discovered all over the world, how could these stones have been cut so precise by ancient humans? Some refer to these ancient ruins as the result of 'Impossible' Ancient Engineering. Could it be possible that there is much more to the history of this planet than we are being taught? For years, historians and archaeologists have absolutely marveled at these incredibly huge megalith and asked did ancient civilizations have a technology so advanced we still don't understand it.

In the first of this two-part series, Dr William Sullivan examines why Andean civilisation could possibly have been conquered as a result of this battle and why a clash of cultural beliefs could have caused the downfall of the largest nation state to have ever existed in the western hemisphere. In one of the strangest events in all recorded history, Spaniards after adventure, fortune and power, to their own amazement seized this seemingly infallible empire. What the Spaniards never knew, however, and what history does not record, was that the Andean people had been aware of the imminence of this event for some 100 years through a complex and systematic charting of the stars. The Inca Empire at its peak was the largest kingdom on Earth The Incas were master builders, fearsome warriors and practitioners of human sacrifice. Yet this mighty state was conquered by a small band of Spanish adventurers. 7000 men were killed and 10,000 injured. But how could the Incas let this happen? The Secret Of The Incas tells the story of one man's search to unlock one of the world's great mysteries. Anthropologist Bill Sullivan found the answer in the myths handed down from generation to generation of Incas and finally to Jesuit priests. The Incas were fine astrologists and believed events in the stars paralleled events on earth, only 100 years hence. During the reign of the first Inca, they foretold the end of Inca civilisation in 1532 – the year the Spanish invaded. The Incas' tragic secret was that they believed they were doomed – and that resistance was futile. Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?

Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of recorded human history and extending as far as the Early Middle Ages or the Postclassical Era. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with Sumerian Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC.
The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to history in the Old World from the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD (the most used), the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I in 565 AD, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history.

Justice League Unlimited (JLU) is an American animated television series that was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and aired on Cartoon Network. Featuring a wide array of superheroes from the DC Comics universe, and specifically based on the Justice League superhero team, it is a direct sequel to the previous Justice League animated series. JLU debuted on July 31, 2004 on Toonami and ended with the episode aired May 13, 2006. It was also the final series set in the long-running DC animated universe, which started with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992.
In August 2012, The CW's Vortexx Saturday morning block began airing reruns of this series. Reruns of this show ended in August 2014.
Taking up soon after Justice League ended, it features a greatly expanded League, in which the characters from the original series—now referred to as "founding members"—are joined by many other superheroes from the DC Universe; in the first episode, well over 50 characters appear. A number of these were heroes who had made guest appearances in Justice League, but many heroes and other characters made their first animated appearances in this series. The general format of each episode is to have a small team assemble to deal with a particular situation, with a focus on both action and character interaction.

Ancient History is a one-act play written by American playwright David Ives.
Ancient History premiered Off-Broadway in May 1989 in a production by Primary Stages, with direction by Jason McConnell Buzas and the cast of Beth McDonald and Christopher Wells.
A revised edition was presented Off-Broadway by Primary Stages in June 1996, with direction by John Rando and a cast of Vivienne Benesch and Michael Rupert.New York Magazine describes Ancient History as "a genuine achievement [as] Ives spins a dance that is Strindberg with yuks … the dialogue is crunchy and saucy [as] these lovers are buffeted about circularly, hilariously, and scarily."

Ancient History: A Paraphase is Joseph McElroy's third novel, published in 1971. It presents itself as a hastily written essay/memoir/confession. The character Dom is sometimes described as a fictionalized Norman Mailer.
The title "Ancient History" refers to classical Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and Persian history, which Cy, the narrator, is something of an amateur expert in. It was the name for the course Cy took at Poly Prep. But it also the narrator's frequent dismissive phrase regarding his own obsessive retelling of trivial details from his own personal past.
The word "paraphase", used in the subtitle and a few times in the text, is Cy's neologism, never actually defined.
In March 2014, Dzanc Books published a paperback edition, with an introduction by Jonathan Lethem.
The setting is one evening, circa 1970.
Cy had intended to talk to the famous social scientist/writer/activist Dom (or Don, Cy isn't sure) who lives in the same Manhattan building as Cy. But upon arriving on Dom's floor of the building, he finds the police are removing Dom's body, reportedly a suicide. Cy enters the apartment, locks the door but leaves the chain off, and proceeds to commit in writing, with Dom's own paper and pen, all the things Cy had intended to say to Dom, and then some. The resulting manuscript is the sole content of the novel.

With my cards on the table
She could see the light
My efforts went wasted due to falling night
And I know
By the end of the evening
I was in no doubt of all the things
That you could live without
Now, I know
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me
They had nothing but ego's
But they multiply
All the reasons that I would try
To be making it harder to be seen but, oh
Is it too much to ask for to be left alone?
Yeah, I know

Q: HAProxy: multiple frontends, same bind Is this possible / correct to configure multiple frontends that binds to the same port on HAProxy?
frontend A
    bind :80
    bind :2000-5000
    acl rule_about_A
    use_backend server_A if rule_about_A

frontend B
    bind :80
    acl rule_about_B
    use_backend server_B if rule_about_B

In this use case, the frontend A needs to bind to 80 and to the range 2000-5000. For the frontend B, I don't want to bind it to all of those ports, only to 80.
I thought it would looks clean if I configure it in that way, instead use a single frontend and play with the ACLs, but it seems like that configuration is making HAProxy works wrong - sometimes applies the correct rule and sometimes, not.
Before to join those frontends as a single one, is it possible to use multiple frontends that bind to same ports?
EDIT: BTW, I'm using HAProxy 1.5

A: No, you can't do this and expect sensible behavior.
The requests for port 80 will arrive seemingly randomly at one front end or the other.  The result of such a configuration is undefined, and though not technically i valid, it is for all practical purposes a nonsensical configuration.
All of the rules applying on port 80 (or any port) need to be specified on a single frontend (or a single listen) that is bound to port 80.

Alex Smith reveals that Ed Pedley of MRL RIBs in Southampton is to bolster his Italian Stingher range with a new nine-metre open model.
We can exclusively reveal that Ed Pedley of MRL RIBs in Southampton is to bolster his Italian Stingher range with a new nine-metre open model.
The 8m Stingher RIB has proven to be a top class family RIB.
Due for launch at the Southampton Boat Show in September, the plan is to employ a hull very similar to that of the existing 800GT (pictured) – and that's good news. After all, the last five years have marked Stingher's eight-metre model out as one of the very best leisure boats around. Not only is it fast, agile and top fun to drive, but it's also great to look at and has a prodigious amount of internal space for a RIB of its length.
Naturally then, the new 9M will offer the same kind of formula as the 800, but on a platform with the lounging, dining and seating facilities ratcheted up a notch. On board, that will mean not just a U-shaped bow area with table and infil cushion but also some extra versatility aft of the console. Like most Stinghers, it will come not as a base platform with a set of upgrade options but as a very well equipped, high-spec package, with the features MRL believes best complement the boat. In this case, that is likely to see the new RIB packaged with an electric windlass, a pair of Scott suspension seats, a Verado 350hp outboard and a toilet inside the sports console.
The moulds are already complete and with MRL closely involved in the design, the new RIB is likely to provide a very notable upgrade for those who love the 800GT but are unsure about making the leap to the 10M flagship. As for the all-important price, a brief examination of comparable craft in the current RIB market might lead you to expect a figure somewhere between £110,000 and £140,000. But early indications suggest that the full-spec 9M package will come in at less than £100,000 – just £15,000 more than the equivalent 800GT. If it proves half as much fun as its smaller sibling, it will be one to look out for.

Has legalizing pot been worth it, though?
As the debate over the legalization of marijuana heats up again in South Carolina, new information has been released from Colorado that is likely to be seized upon by proponents of the issue (including this news outlet).
Sales data, tax revenue data and a new social impact report (.pdf) from the Centennial State all point to the potential benefits of legalizing marijuana – although detractors maintain the costs far outweigh the benefits.
First, the data. According to the Colorado Department of Revenue (CDR), combined recreational and medical marijuana sales have soared from $683.5 million in 2014 – the first year the substance was legalized – to more than $1.5 billion last year. That's a staggering 120 percent increase. Meanwhile tax revenues have skyrocketed by more than 266 percent – from $67 million in 2014 to $247.4 million in 2017.
Expect these numbers to figure prominently in the ongoing debate here in the Palmetto State, where supporters of legalization were able to push a medical marijuana bill past the committee level for the first time last year. A renewed push is planned for the current legislative session, however strident law enforcement opposition to decriminalization has been buttressed recently by elevated engagement from the medical community.
Policy makers will also likely focus on the social impact study released by Colorado's Division of Criminal Justice (CDCJ) which provided a mixed bag (pardon the pun) of outcomes in the aftermath of legalization.
"The number of fatalities with cannabinoid-only or cannabinoid-in-combination positive drivers increased 153 percent, from 55 in 2013 to 139 in 2017," the report stated.
However, it added that fatal traffic accidents involving drivers under the influence of tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC, the active ingredient in cannabis) decreased by five percent.
Not surprisingly, the report showed an uptick in marijuana-related hospitalizations, emergency room visits and calls to poison control centers. Also unsurprisingly, it showed a massive decrease in marijuana-related arrests – and marijuana-related court cases.
Liberals were angry, however, because the reduction in arrests and prosecutions was not accompanied by a change in the racial composition of "offenders" – who remained disproportionately black.
Also, earlier this month an opinion editorial appeared in The New York Times written by Alex Berenson. According to Berenson, marijuana advocates are playing fast and loose with both criminal justice statistics (in Colorado and elsewhere) and health concerns related to the drug.
"Legalization advocates have squelched discussion of the serious mental health risks of marijuana and THC, the chemical responsible for the drug's psychoactive effects," he wrote.
We see where Berenson is coming from on that score, but we do believe he jumped the shark in attempting to conflate the legalization of marijuana with the onset of the opioid epidemic.
With all due respect to Berenson, we believe the opioid epidemic is a direct result of doctors' over-prescribing highly addictive pills in an effort to fuel profit margins for large pharmaceutical companies. Which is downright sinister. Comparing such practices with the legalization – or at the very least the decriminalization of marijuana – seems at best imprecise, at worst intellectually dishonest.
This news site has steadfastly argued in favor of legalizing/ decriminalizing marijuana and other drugs – and not just for medicinal purposes. Of course, we have also attempted to balance our coverage with an appreciation for the necessary limits of such a policy – while also letting opponents of decriminalization have their say on the matter (something we will continue to do).
Ultimately, though, we believe that legalization is a liberty issue … and an economic one. And we believe that both liberty and prosperity would expand in an environment in which substances like this are legal and regulated like alcohol.


This one is exceedingly dear. Somehow it wouldn't do to call it "Detail, Escalante River..." or the like. The f/9 lens was wide open, just barely allowing sufficient shutter speed to prevent excessive movement in the river. The only depth of field involved was effectively obtained using the camera's ability to tilt the lens and film relative to one another. Anything either above or below the plane of focus (which is very carefully adjusted to be coincident with the surface of the mud) would be out of focus, as are the reflections. The moment came and went too quickly for a second good exposure.
The Escalante Basin was one of three places I had been by the time I made this picture which were notable for their lack of its inclusion in the National Park system, a serious oversight which has since been remedied by its inclusion in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It is the principal remnant of Glen Canyon, the magnificent section of the Colorado River and its side canyons drowned by the dam which I and many others consider to be the most loathsome work of man. Glen Canyon was probably the most beautiful place on Earth.

ICU Rooms Running Out of Bed as Florida Becomes US Epicenter for Coronavirus
By Ed Forster Jul 20, 2020 09:57 PM EDT
(Photo : REUTERS/Maria Alejandra Cardon) Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) leave with a patient at North Shore Medical Center where the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients are treated, in Miami.
The sudden increase of coronavirus cases in Florida is causing ICUs to run out of room from increasing numbers of coronavirus cases.
Marked increases of coronavirus cases have made Florida, which is considered as the newest epicenter of the pandemic. Too many cases have been reported that 45 hospitals there have run out of beds in the intensive care units
Data from the state's Agency for Health Care Administration reveal that these medical facilities are swamped. Sources indicate that hard-hit hospitals are in Miami-Dade County and another five are in neighboring Broward County. These alarming stats are swamping already taxed health systems, according to CBS News.
According to reports, there are 6,252 in all the ICUs in the state that are all occupied. With that number of beds used, it was mentioned that only 19% are free throughout the state. Smaller counties like Nassau, Okeechobee, and Putnam have zero available beds by now.
Larger counties like Seminole and St. Lucie have 5% of bedding capacity to go. Overall, there are 5,035 beds all used up. The remaining 5% will be a problem if there is an increase of more COVID patients.

Coronavirus cases rising in Florida
As of the last count of all the COVID-19 cases in Florida, 10,000 new infections were reported during the fifth day. Last Sunday, a whopping 12,523 people caught the bug as well. It seems that the coronavirus is getting worse with 21,000 total infections according to the Florida Department of Health.
The county of Miami-Dade, which is the most populated county Florida now has 23% of its ICU beds that are not occupied. According to officials, these ICU beds are ready for COVID-19 patients. Broward county, with the second most dense population in the state, is about an 11% capacity for their patient capacity.
According to the Miami Mayor Dan Gelber, he called an 8 p.m. curfew to close South Beach, to stop further transmission of the virus. This was reported by CBS Miami as the pandemic took more foothold there.
Gelber said that the use of masks is not enough, and many are lax to follow the need for masks to stop the transmission of the virus. He added that it was like a big party, where transmission is inevitble. Miami is now in the midst of a full-blown epidemic with almost full ICUs threatening a worse crisis.
Penalty for people who refused to wear mask in public
In response to the hard-headedness of those refusing to wear a mask, a warning will not be needed anymore. If a mask is not used outdoors or indoors, there will be a fine given as a penalty.
The first offense will be at $50 and goes up the next time you're caught, it will be $150. If a person still does not comply with the mask regulations, it will be $500. This rule was authorized by Mayor Francis Suarez to start on Monday. This was confirmed by CBS Miami.

Aberdeen Council on the brink again as equal pay talks falter
By Mike Berry on 4 Oct 2005 in Dispute resolution, Employee relations, Industrial action / strikes, Information & consultation, Latest News
Talks between unions and Aberdeen City Council over the implementation of equal pay rules have collapsed.
The issue took the council to the brink of industrial action last month, which was averted when the council withdrew letters sent to about 2,000 workers warning that they faced pay cuts of between £1,000 and £20,000 under the new legislation.
The Transport & General Workers' Union said it was not being given information to which it was entitled.
Union official Tommy Campbell said: "Our shop stewards met last Wednesday and had a full report from our convenors, following which it was decided to register a formal dispute with the employer by way of a failure to agree notice.
"We insist that the employer supply all the information it has, in line with terms of national and local agreement. The ball is now in the council's court."

Get this Popcorn off of My Ceiling!
What is a Popcorn Ceiling & How You Can Get Rid of It for Good
What is a Popcorn Ceiling?
Across North America, there are quite a few properties that have what is known as a "popcorn" ceiling. Also known as "stipple," "acoustic," or even "cottage cheese," this textured style was quite popular in the U.S. and Canada starting in the 1930s, and it remained a common feature in homes right up to the early 1990s. However, as this texture has fallen out of favor since then (unless that is, the homeowner is specifically going for a "period" look), the common question is, "why were popcorn ceilings created in the first place?"
Pros and Cons of Popcorn Ceilings
The answer to that is manifold: popcorn ceilings were popular for their bright, white appearance and their ability to absorb sound and reduce noise. Another benefit was that popcorn texture did a great job of hiding imperfections in the ceiling surface. But, aesthetics aside, there were drawbacks to the popcorn ceiling. One was that they tended to collect dust and could stain over time from things like cigarette smoke. And to make matters worse, cleaning them was not an easy task. But the biggest problem with them was that they often contained asbestos fibers, a carcinogenic substance.
Popcorn Ceilings Can be Dangerous
When the U.S. passed an amendment in 1970 to the Clean Air Act of 1963, it forbade the use of asbestos in the materials used to make popcorn ceilings (amongst other things). Paper and Styrofoam materials were subsequently used in place of asbestos fibers, but the popularity of the popcorn ceiling dropped off significantly. However, not everybody rushed to have their popcorn ceilings removed, and some still liked the look and the acoustic benefits they provided.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Experts
As drywall experts, PatchMaster has come across many popcorn ceilings. And while we have had to repair water-damaged ceilings and then recreate the popcorn texture to match the rest of the room (usually a bathroom, it seems), we also have been brought in to remove the popcorn and create clean, smoothed out, white ceilings in homes all over the United States and Canada.
In each case, our skilled technicians removed the texture* without creating massive amounts of dust, leaving completely smooth, white ceilings and leaving the living areas spotless—like the team and the popcorn ceiling was never there in the first place. Contact us today for a free consultation or call 1-844-PATCH-MAN (U.S.) or 1-833-WE-PATCH (Canada).
*Note: If your home was built before 1980 asbestos testing may be required and if asbestos is present, the popcorn texture must be removed by a licensed remediator.

Dwight Macdonald noticed, in the title of his article about McLuhan in Stearn's McLuhan: Sizzling & Cool (1967), that McLuhan has looted all culture, from cave portray to Mad magazine, for fragments to shore up against the ruin of his system" (p. 204). Typical of McLuhan's critics, Macdonald is keenly conscious of McLuhan's encyclopedic conversance with the myriad particulars of historical past—for how else would McLuhan know where to loot"—however Macdonald makes an attempt to twist this advantage into some kind of flaw. Media Ecology was impressed by merely the benefit.
Lots of people think this inspection is only a manner for the repair store to sell extra providers and take extra of their cash. That's not the case. When inspecting the automobile a technician can see what elements are worn or could cause injury to different parts. Catching half failures earlier than they occur typically saves the owner money in the long run by stopping unnecessary harm over time.


Hello and welcome to English Wine Week! It's a very exciting time of year for people like us who champion English wine as it slowly gains the popularity it deserves.
A lot of people think English wine is going to be mead or fruit wine or the kind of stuff your Uncle Barry used to make in his shed from grapes he bought at Tesco, but... while it is all of those things, it's also some GORGEOUS up-there-with-the-best-of-them wines that will blow your mind, and that you could (and probably should) drink a lot more often alongside wines from more established wine-producing countries.
To ease you in, I've compiled a little list of English wines that are similar to better known varieties, in a little 'If You Like That, Try This' comparison for people that would like to try English wines but don't know where to start. The good news is all of the wines I recommend are available at UK-wide wine merchants, and if you pop into your local wine merchant they'll almost certainly have a few too.
Most of the best English wine estates produce a wine made solely from the Bacchus grape - it's probably the grape that earns us the greatest renown in still white wines (particularly single-varietal ones).
It's a very aromatic wine, often with grassy and elderflower-like character that is common in sauvignon blanc, and it's particularly fresh and appealing when grown in cool climates (English weather scoring its first ever win, there).
As I said, you'll find this grape at most of the good English vineyards, but I'd say a very safe starting point is Chapel Down in Kent. One of the most famous and most awarded English producers, it's available quite widely. Check with your local Majestic or indie merchant, or buy Chapel Down Bacchus from The Wine Society for £11.50.
Alternatively, try Lavenham Brook Bacchus for £11.49 from your nearest Adnams.
Most people think English fizz is going to be cheap bubbles, but you are way out, my friend.
The best English sparkling wine is made from the same grapes, grown on the same soil and made using the same methods as Champagne - it's not called Champagne purely because it's not made in the Champagne region, not because it's a lesser wine.
You'll find the same delicacy, purity, crisp fruit and soft brioche-like character in good English sparkling wine as you will in Champagne - and usually you'll get a lot more bang for your buck, too.
Nyetimber Classic Cuvee 2009 - a delicious, poised wine that's a great introduction to the brilliance of the Nyetimber range. Pick up Nyetimber Classic Cuvee for £26.99 from Adnams or £23.98 from Majestic if you're buying two wines from the '33% off' range.
You can also pick up the flagship Ridgeview Merret Bloomsbury for £24.99 a bottle from Waitrose Cellar or Ocado.
English red wine still has a very bad rep (as I discussed last year) and it is surprisingly hard to find a good one, but they're out there.
They're mostly made with pinot noir, dornfelder and rondo, and with a lick of oak and careful blending they can be juicy, smoky and a little bit spicy, making them really great with a barbecue or light Sunday roast.
Bolney Estate tends to lead the way on the red wine front - the Bolney Estate Dark Harvest (a lovely, lightly-oaked red with oodles of character) is available at Ocado for £8.99 - for less than a tenner it's worth a try, right?
You can also get Bolney's Lychgate red at Yorkshire Vintners for £10.50, or direct from Bolney Estate for £10.65.
We've said it many times before - if in doubt about a new genre of wine, go for the supermarket 'best' ranges, because they'll have made sure they've found a good example at an accessible price.
A perfect place to start with your exploration of English wine is the Tesco Finest English White for £8.99. Like the Bolney above, this is a bit of a steal at less than a tenner, a presents good quality for this price.
It's made by Denbies - another big name in English wine - and is a blend of chardonnay, bacchus and two other solid grape varieties grown in England (ortega and reichensteiner, if you want to be geeky), which gives it a pleasing complexity. Plenty of apple and pear aromas and crisp, grassy, floral character that makes this a refreshing match for light summer foods like salads and chicken dishes.
This country is just starting to hone its craft when it comes to producing sophisticated reds from the pinot noir grape, and it's certainly not at Burgundian standards yet, but it's making some pretty tasty examples.
Gusbourne Estate is probably the most famous and successful of the English pinot gang (as far as I'm concerned) and they're certainly achieving the cherry and strawberry flavours you'd expect from good examples of the grape, with a little complexity from some time in oak too.
The price varies from vintage to vintage, but you can grab Gusbourne Estate 2011 from BBR for £17.45, or the 2007 Gusbourne Pinot Noir for £19.75 at Field and Fawcett. You can also pick up some Gusbourne Pinot from Selfridges for £23.99. You'd probably spend that much exploring the lower-end of Burgundy anyway, so why not give something English a try?
I hope these comparisons help anyone looking to try more English wine - if you have any of your own comparisons, please let me know in the comments!

Das Qasr Al Hosn () ist ein ehemaliges Fort in Abu Dhabi und der Wachturm das älteste Gebäude auf der Insel. Es war Sitz der Herrscherfamilie Al Nahyan und bot als Zentrum Schutz für die frühen Siedler. Nach seiner Erweiterung auf die heutige Größe unter Schachbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan in den 1940ern, war es bis 1966 Regierungssitz des Emirats Abu Dhabi und nach einer langjährigen Renovierung wurde es am 7. Dezember 2018 als Museum wiedereröffnet.

Lage
Das Museum liegt im ältesten Teil Abu Dhabis im Stadtteil Al Hosn.

Gebäudekomplex
Das eigentliche Fort besteht aus drei Entwicklungsstufen und weiteren Gebäuden auf demselben Straßenblock umgeben vom modernen Abu Dhabi.

Wachturm
Der Wachturm wurde unter Dhiyab bin Isa 1761 erbaut. Er bildet heute die Nordostecke des Inneren Forts.

Inneres Fort
Das eigentliche Fort entstand zwischen 1793 und 1816 durch weitere Türme und verbindende Außenmauern.

Äußeres Fort
Nach der Vergabe der ersten Ölförderkonsession 1939 wurde das Fort in den 1940er Jahren unter Schachbut bin Sultan al Nahyan von einem größeren Fort eingeschlossen. Seine Mauern und Türme grenzen in der Nordostecke eng an die alten Mauern und Türme an und beherbergten in der Ost- und Südmauer die Wohn- und Arbeitsräume auf zwei Stockwerken.

National Consultative Council
Zwischen 1968 und 1970 wurde unter Zayid bin Sultan Al Nahyan vor dem Tor ein Regierungsgebäude errichtet, in dem bis in die 1990er Jahre die Regierungsarbeit des Emirats und der Föderation stattfand.

Haus der Handwerker
Das Haus der Handwerker () ist ein modernes Musuemsgebäude außerhalb des Forts. Es beherbergt eine kleine Ausstellung sowie praktische Demonstrationen alter Handwerkskünste und der traditionellen Arabischen Kaffeekultur (Gahwa).
