In this Monda, Feb. 22, 2021 photo released by the U.S. Army, Sgt. Taylor Knueven pitches an idea to better the U.S. Army's Sexual Harassment and Assault and Prevention Program to a panel at Fort Bragg, N.C. Knueven shared her own story of assault during the "Dragon's Lair" panel. The 18th Airborne Corps says they plan to implement parts of all seven pitches heard at the presentation. (Sgt. Marygian D.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sgt. Taylor Knueven always knew sexual assault and harassment plagued the U.S. Army. But the combat medic's own assault early last year opened her eyes to the broken system surrounding one of the military's most infamous problems.
Earlier this week, Knueven and six other soldiers went before a panel in the 18th Airborne Corps headquarters at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to present ideas on how the Army can revamp the way it deals with sexual assault and harassment.
The Army's Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program, also known as SHARP, has been the subject of much scrutiny, especially following the slaying of Spc. Vanessa Guillen by a fellow soldier inside a Fort Hood, Texas, armory last April.
The proposal Knueven presented to the panel Monday would address gender and military bias by reworking the composition of offender separation boards. She said her attacker went before a board consisting of three men and no women.
Knueven described in detail events on the night she says she was assaulted by a fellow soldier at a concert. And she recounted how she felt about reporting the incident and what went through her mind when she said she learned he would remain in the Army and ultimately face little punishment.
"I thought it was a total slap in the face to myself," Knueven said.
Last week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said at his first Pentagon news conference that reducing sexual assault is one of his top priorities and that he would introduce stronger efforts to fight it.
"We have been working at this for a long time in earnest, but we haven't gotten it right," he said.
Staff Sgt. Shameka Dudley wants to see stale SHARP training PowerPoints replaced with virtual reality scenarios that would offer soldiers a glimpse at assault and harassment scenarios through the eyes of survivors, aggressors and bystanders.
"We have this same training and it's really not changing much," Dudley said. "The numbers are still going up."
The 28-year-old mother of five handed out virtual reality glasses to the panel as she recounted the success she's seen the method play in the treatment of veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
For her, it's about understanding and empathy.
"The majority of people learn from doing, from seeing, from being able to be there," Dudley said.
Dudley says soldiers who have experienced sexual trauma can opt out of the training as it may serve as a trigger.
The presentations were made as a part of the 18th Airborne Corp's "Dragon's Lair" series, a "Shark Tank" like competition that sources innovative ideas from within the Army's ranks.
"This is an amazing effort to connect our best and brightest directly to senior leaders who are ready to take action. It just feels different this time," Lt. Col. Scott Stephens, who presented to the panel, tweeted Monday.
The Corps says parts of all seven presentations will be implemented across the Army. Some ideas, like Knueven's will be easier than others and involve simple policy changes, according to Col. Joe Buccino, Public Affairs Officer for the 18th Airborne Corps.
The Corps has already begun conversations with a film producer to bring Dudley's idea to life, according to Buccino.
"I am confident, very confident, we will implement all ideas," he told The Associated Press.
Knueven hopes that's the case. She sighs when asked if change is coming to the Army. "I don't know, I sure hope so."

The Libertarian Party National Convention was held in New Orleans this last month. The biennial event is where Libertarian delegates from every state gather to discuss platform and bylaw changes and to elect officers. This years convention was one of the highest attended events even thought this was a non-election year. There was a notably higher number of women, youth, and diverse attendees. Nine representatives from Santa Clara were able to attend this year.
The National Party elected new officers including the unprecedented 3rd term for Nicholas Sarwark. Treasurer Tim Hagan was also re-elected. The new Vice Chair will be Alex Merced, and the new Secretary is Caryn Ann Harlos. The convention ran out of time and elected the top 5 voted for At Large positions; Joe Bishop-Henchman, Sam Goldstein, Alicia Mattson, William Redpath, and Joshua Smith. The final decision of the At-Large and Judicial committee were controversial in that the top vote-getters were selected without run off elections due to a shortage of time.
The more notable resolutions passed included our support to decriminalize sex work for consenting adults, the request to parton Ross Ulbricht, and our support for American, Frontier, Southwest and United airlines refusal to transport immigration children separated from their parents.
The national convention includes many break out sessions, talks, and activities for all levels of Libertarians. This year included parliamentarian training, regional meetings, Tim Moan chair of the Canadian Libertarian Party, Amaryllis Fox, and conversations from blockchain to messaging.
The next convention has been announced to be held May 22-25 in Austin, Texas in 2020.

The Benefits of Listening to Legal Counsel When Approaching Family Court in Sydney
HomeLawThe Benefits of Listening to Legal Counsel When Approaching Family Court in Sydney
August 18, 2020 August 17, 2020 By Judith Green
Receiving legal counsel for family court in Sydney is strongly recommended for participants who have an upcoming hearing date.
These environments present their own challenges, especially for adults that want to act independently from any outside intervention.
We will explore the benefits for those that do reach out for professional help.
Attending Court on Time
For small settings that present a family court in Sydney, it will be easy for participants to know exactly where to go and where to be for their hearing. For others based in the CBD with large buildings and various hallways, it can be a genuine challenge to know specifically where to be at a specified moment. Especially for parents and working adults who are balancing multiple responsibilities, arriving at the right courtroom at the right time is not as easy as it would appear. By consulting with a professional solicitor, they will be able to assist with this planning, helping with any transport issues or scheduling conflicts.
Adhering to Rules & Guidelines
From the type of attire to wear at family court in Sydney to the correct way to address a judge during the process, these small details will count in the long run. There is a mode of decorum that is expected for adults when they walk through those doors, illustrating that they respect the judicial process and the judge that is overseeing the matter. By liaising with a legal representative who knows the correct behaviour and approach, they will be able to fill in the blanks and educate their client about these expectations ahead of time.
Adopting Legal Stance In Line With Personal Interests
Depending on the nature of the case and the facts that are present in the matter, participants can take a number of different actions at family court in Sydney. From child support and alimony payment schemes to declarations for divorce, separation, the nullity of marriage, or the status of residency, a lawyer will offer their counsel about what actions to take and what positions are in their best interest. If there is a desire to expedite the matter and accept the terms, that should be explored, just as a refusal to sign any documentation and to fight for additional terms. The intervention of a solicitor here is significant, guiding them to an action that is very much in their best interest.
Undertaking Paperwork & Logistics
There are lodgment papers, applications and documents that must be signed when participants attend family court in Sydney. By consulting with an official lawyer in these cases, they will ensure that all provisions are checked and that everything runs smoothly via the registrar. These activities are often behind the scenes, but they are small steps that participants will value when they help them jump through the legal hoops of family court.
Working to Avoid Further Court Dates
If there is scope to engage in mediation beyond a date in family court in Sydney, then that should be taken at every opportunity. In some instances, it will be too late to go down that avenue if it has already been exhausted, but the use of expert legal counsel will help participants avoid a future date at the courthouse. The next phase of this process could be played out through settlement or conciliation, two different avenues that are best discussed in a private session with a legal representative.
Receiving Personal Support
It can be taxing on a personal level for women and men to be subjected to these environments, facing a judge in a judicial process that carries potential life-changing consequences. Having an experienced practitioner on hand right there to guide and support the participant at every stage is critical to the mental and emotional state of individuals. Ideally, there will be other family members who will offer personal support for family court in Sydney, but their presence will remove a lot of the confusion and tension on the day.

How this blind girl's cricket team is serving as an inspiration to those entrepreneurs who give up easily in life
Leave a Comment / Chalgenius startup news, CHALGENIUS STARTUPS NEWS, Uncategorized / By Our Team
Young blind girls from Madhya Pradesh who have formed a cricket team serve as an inspiration for several thousands of entrepreneurs who give up in life. Spare a few minutes to get yourself motivated.
Girls entering into sports
In India, young girls are inspired to take up the desired sport, excel in it and get the opportunity to make the country. This holds for popular sports such as cricket. Several women are breaking the glass ceiling. Stalwarts like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami, Shefali Verma, Pooja Vastrakar and Smriti Mandhana etc., are an inspiration for cricket-loving girls around the country and gave them a reason to dream.
Blind cricket team for girls
The state of Madhya Pradesh has come up with its blind team which was formed last year. The idea existed in theory for many years, but it was executed only recently by surpassing a myriad of hurdles. The team's coach, Sonu Golkar, played a pivotal role in making it happen. A veteran blind cricketer, he has represented India at the Asia Cup in 2016, where they lifted the trophy.
In 2019, Madhya Pradesh could not send a team to represent the state on the national level. This thought pushed them to form the first blind women's cricket team. In November 2021 Golkar held trials for visually impaired girls in Bhopal. "A total of 160 girls took part in it that, in itself, is a massive achievement for us. Looking at their enthusiasm, I realised that if we have the right resources, we can take this team to greater heights in the right direction," he adds.
Technique of Blind Cricket Team
Tweaking Conventional Techniques For Blind Cricket When it comes to Blind Cricket, certain modifications are applied to make it easier for visually-impaired players. Sound plays a significant role in the game.
An important distinction is in the bowling technique, as Blind Cricket uses underarm bowling rather than the conventional forearm method. The ball rolling on the pitch emits the sound beneficial for the blind player batting on the crease. Another distinctive feature is the metallic stumps used by the players in match. This helps completely blind players to touch the stumps with the help of sound and execute run-outs, which is an integral part of the sport.The blind cricket dynamics also include specific jargon that divides the players into three distinct categories.
These girls serve as a motivation for all those entrepreneurs who give up easily in life.

Основная область памяти (Основная память, ) занимает первые 640 Кбайт оперативной памяти в IBM PC-совместимых компьютерах. В эту область загружается таблица векторов прерываний (занимает 1 Кбайт), некоторые данные из BIOS (например, буфер клавиатуры), различные 16-битные программы DOS. Для них 640 Кбайт являются барьером.

Барьер 640 Кбайт
Для IBM PC-совместимых компьютеров 1 Мбайт был пределом памяти, который мог адресовать процессор. CPU Intel 8088 имеет 20 адресных линий и мог обращаться к памяти до 220 = 1 Мбайт памяти. Первый мегабайт был разделен на 16 областей по 64 Кбайт. Первые десять областей отводились для использования пользовательскими программами (при этом сама операционная система могла обращаться ко всему мегабайту памяти) и называлась основная память. Оставшиеся 6 областей объёмом 384 Кбайт (Upper Memory Area, UMA, верхняя память) резервировались для системных нужд и дополнительных устройств. В первых компьютерах здесь размещались BIOS и его расширения, память видеоадаптера и драйверы устройств. В существующих реализациях IBM PC часть верхней памяти использовалась для CGA/EGA, другая — оставалась неиспользованной. В начале 1980-х годов память в 640 Кбайт была вполне достаточна для нужд обычного пользователя, однако потребность в ОЗУ новых приложений росла быстрее, что привело к необходимости использовать резервные области верхней памяти различными способами, обходящими запрет на доступ прикладных программ к верхней памяти. В результате это привело к тому, что в 1 Мбайт доступной памяти появились зарезервированные «дыры», которые использовались различными аппаратными устройствами. Устранение подобных «дыр» было технически труднореализуемо и не поддерживалось бы существующими версиями DOS и прикладных программ. Позднее был разработан универсальный метод, позволяющий обращаться в участкам верхней памяти (Upper memory blocks, UMB).

Для обеспечения обратной совместимости с существующими приложениями ограничение в 640 Кбайт сохранилось в последующих реализациях стандарта IBM PC, даже после того, как архитектура Intel 8086/8088 была заменена на более современный Intel 80286, позволявший адресовать уже 16 Мбайт памяти в защищённом режиме. Данное ограничение было вызвано тем, что процессор 80286 мог работать как в новом защищённом, так и в старом реальном режиме, обеспечивающим совместимость со старой архитектурой: в реальном режиме невозможно адресовать память с разрядностью выше 20 бит (или 220 = 1 Мбайт). Последующие процессоры, совместимые с архитектурой IBM PC, реализовывали эту совместимость и далее. Даже на современных компьютерах до сих пор существует зарезервированная область памяти между 640 и 1024 Кбайтами памяти, хотя для большинства современных операционных систем он незаметен, так как в них доступ к ОЗУ реализован через виртуальную память, скрывающую за собой настоящее распределение памяти и не зависящую от неё.

Использование основной памяти
Барьер в 640 Кбайт актуален только для 16-битных программ, работающих под DOS. На работу 32- и 64-битных операционных систем (Microsoft Windows 4.x, NT, GNU/Linux и т. п.) барьер в 640 Кбайт практически не оказывает влияния.

Chongyoon Lim's Representative Departed to China and Italy to Unveil the "Second Act" of Hanmi Pharm's Development
Chongyoon Lim, the representative of Hanmi Science who started the cause of "total health care", developed new drugs in China, explored targeted medical and health cooperation, and expanded relevant businesses in Italy.
On November 25, representative Chongyoon Lim of Hanmi Science listened to In-seon Lee, director of Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone, explaining the support plan at the business contract ceremony of Pohang University of Science and Technology. On the same day, Hanmi Science resolved to join forces in the fields of new drug development and biology through relevant agreements with North Gyeong and Pohang City, etc.
Recently, Lim visited the outstanding enterprises of China and discussed cooperation issues in order to find new impetus for the development of Hanmi Pharm Group. He also visited Italy's largest medical institution earlier this month, laying the foundation for targeted treatment that breaks away from the existing new drug development framework and expands the health examination system. Chongyoon Lim, the head of the Group Holding Company, is the eldest son of Sung-ki Lim, founder of Hanmi Pharm Group. Hanmi Pharm has made continuous technological export achievements in 2015-2016, and Lim will reveal the "second act" of Hanmi Pharm's development.
Lim seized the opportunity first to completely eliminate some technology export returns, changes and uncertainty of the market caused by new pharm development. In fact, a multinational pharmaceutical company Sanofi, a pharmaceutical partner of Hanmi Pharm, announced on the 10th of this month that it would complete the third phase of clinical trials of the new diabetes pharm "Efpeglenatide" of Hanmi Pharm, but would scout for a new sales company. Although the technical fees and other contracts charged by Hanmi Pharm have not changed, and the change of sales companies has caused unnecessary misunderstanding in the market.
On the 17th, Lim expressed in a telephone interview with News1: "We respect the organization adaptation and change of Paul Hudson, the new head of Sanofi. In addition to Efteglenatide, Hanmi Pharm has also launched new pharm development channels in many fields such as anti-cancer and targeted treatment, difficult diseases, metabolic diseases, etc. to strengthen abilities of the enterprise through reorganization, adaptation and talent introduction of the business department."
This month, Lim met with three Chinese enterprises to discuss cooperation or signing contracts.
Lim first chose China as the starting point of expanding the global business of Hanmi Pharm Group.
According to Hanmi Pharm, Lim met with the leaders of China's largest biological enterprise "Wuxi app Tec", the largest circulation company "Jointown" and the largest medica examination network "Aikang Group" at the beginning of this month to discuss the strategic partnership.
Representative Lim met with Dr. Li Ge, founder of WuXi App Tec, and Vice President Zhang Wei, head of the strategic department, to talk about the business plan to step into the European and American markets through joint development of new pharms or technology transfer.
WuXi App Tec, together with Wuxi Biologics, a subsidiary of CMOs, is an enterprise with a total market value of more than 75 trillion won in the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock markets. WuXi App Tec has cooperated with 3,500 companies worldwide, including the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the world.
On the 6th of this month, he endorsed an online sales contract with Jointown, which has an online drug sales platform "Ehaoyao" in China, for Beijing Hanmi Pharm representative product "Ofmom". In the future, "Ofmom" intelligent digital packaging will be originated to swell the online sales business to all over China.
On the 9th, Lim met with Zhang Ligang, president of Aikang Group, which builds the largest medical examination network of China. It is reported that representative Lim and Aikang Group held in-depth discussions on cooperation programs such as health promotion, disease prevention and digital detection system,etc.
Aikang Group is the first listed company in the field of health management and the largest private health management service market in China. Alibaba is its largest shareholder as a well-known e-commerce company. At present, it has 133 physical examination centers and medical institutions in 44 cities, and has put in place a cooperative network in more than 200 cities and 720 medical institutions nationwide, providing one-stop health examination and health management services for about 7 million family members and enterprise employees.
Relevant personnel of Hanmi Pharm Group said: Like Therapeutic Health Service, the targeted health service platform promoted by representative Lim, Aikang Group's physical examination network and APP are also developed through detailed understanding of patient's personal health status. The values pursued by the two companies are the same, and the utility can be maximized through this cooperation."
Expand the role of Italy's largest medical institutions and physical examination centers and advance clinical experimental projects for targeted treatment.
On the 1st of this month, Lim went to Rome, Italy, and reached an agreement with Gemelli Hospital, Italy's largest medical institution, on filling out the role of Gemelli VIP Diagnostic Center to as an existing confinement center, as well as clinical research projects based on targeted treatment. In addition, he also decided to set up a postgraduate course platform in food and welfare with Catholic universities in Lombardy region of Italy in South Korea, China and Italy.
At the same time, on the 25th, Lim signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with North Gyeongsang, Pohang City and Pohang University of Science and Technology to cultivate professionals in the field of biology to upgrade the global competitiveness of biology, and embark on cultivation of talents.
Relevant Group sources said: "Representative Lim is redefining a new model for the prevention of all chronic diseases and specialized metabolic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, etc. To this end, efforts are being made to integrate cooperative brands around the world and find sales partners". The person in charge also disclosed: "In the process of expanding beyond pharmaceutical industry to comprehensive health care enterprises, there is no doubt that representative Lim will play a pioneering role."

Top Cryptocurrencies Focusing on Privacy
posted on Jan. 11, 2021 at 9:54 am January 11, 2021
Cryptocurrencies are highly popular nowadays. And two of the most important factors why this is so are privacy and anonymity.
Cryptocurrency networks offer these features to users to let them secure their identities as well as make their transactions private.
At a time when user and data privacy are two big concerns, the cryptocurrency community is also starting to get worries about privacy security.
The following are the top cryptocurrencies that do business with privacy features, most of which built-in.
Let's start the list with Monero, which is the cryptocurrency with a popularity and adoption that have been gaining traction because of the anonymization feature.
That is, XMR transactions are un-linkable and untraceable. It uses the concepts of ring signatures and stealth addresses to conceal the identities of the sender and the receiver in a transaction.
On top of that, Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) is utilized to conceal transaction amount, which guarantees total anonymity.
Monera is the 10th largest cryptocurrency by trading value.
It started as a fork of bitcoin, and now Dash has emerged to mean "digital cash" since January 2014. Also, it is referred to as the "first privacy-centric cryptographic currency."
Dash makes use of the "coinjoin" anonymization technique called PrivateSend (or initially DarkSend). This method anonymizes the transactions being done by the users.
It hides the transaction details by mixing transactions of multiple participants and projecting them as a single transaction.
The strategy guarantees that there is zero way to know who transferred what amount to which other participant. Three transactions are the minimum for the coinjoin technique.
According to ZCash itself, "if bitcoin is like http for money, ZCash is https." This statement highlights the cryptocurrency's enhanced security and privacy features.
ZCash has implemented a cryptographic instrument called Zero-Knowledge Proof and grants participants a choice to protect transactions.
It also enables participants to do a transaction without any of them showing their addresses to the others. At the same time, Zero-Knowledge Proof also conceals the transaction amount.
Rather than using some cryptographic methods, Verge depends on the existing and tested technology of The Onion Router (TOR) and the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to secure the user's identities.
TOR bounces the user's communications via a distributed network of relays and tunnels. These relays and tunnels, meanwhile, are operated by volunteers spread across the globe. In the process, the user's identity is hidden.
Meanwhile, the I2P encrypts the user data before sending it through an anonymous, peer-to-peer and volunteer-operated globally distributed network.
The transacting participants will be able to hide their real locations as well as their IP addresses.
When a popular adult website adopted Verge to start receiving cryptocurrency payments, XVG made headlines.
Bitcoin Private (BTCP)
Bitcoin Private came out as a unique "fork-merge" of two notable cryptocurrencies, which are bitcoin and ZClassic.
The fork-merge took place on February 28, 2018, while the main net was kicked off on March 3.
Basically, Bitcoin Private tries to combine the security and popularity of bitcoin along with the features for privacy of ZClassic, which is a fork of the ZCash, offering the same privacy features as ZCash.

2003 World Series of Poker Champ Chris Moneymaker Joins Chip Leader Coaching, Will Study Under Fellow Champ Joe McKeehen
Since his game-changing win in 2003, few players have stayed in the poker spotlight more than World Series of Poker champ Chris Moneymaker. Now, after 15 years of balancing life as a family man, poker player, and ambassador, he's looking to take his game to the next level by joining Chip Leader Coaching.
"This is a very competitive game, and people are always improving," said Moneymaker. "If you're not, obviously you're being left behind."
He continued: "There was a long period of time I thought I was a really good player. I thought for 7-8 years I was great, but it wasn't until later that I thought maybe I'm not as good as I think I am. You start talking to people and realize I'm not just that good anymore, not seeing situations and opportunities. So now I'm trying to hear as many opinions as I can and figure out what works for my game."
Finding CLC
"I was on social media one day and ran across something about Chance's new training site," Moneymaker explained. "I had done some other training sites. I'm always looking for different idea, not only for myself, but when I teach others I want to make sure I'm up to speed on all the latest in poker."
Despite winning poker's "Big One," Moneymaker has long considered himself a student of the game. He used to stay ahead of the game by playing online, and while he still occasionally hits the virtual felt – he just won two New Jersey SCOOP titles and will head to Canada to compete in PokerStars' SCOOP – he doesn't get to put in the volume he'd like.
"But more so for myself, I can't play much online poker anymore so I feel like I don't get what other players are getting outside the USA. Online poker is such a great way to work on your game, and if you're not playing, the game can pass you by pretty quickly."
He continued: "I like hearing different opinions of players who're better than me. Poker is an ego game. It's hard for people to admit that they're not good. I play in a local game and I guarantee each of the guys think they're the best ever and not a single one of them studying the game."
Learning from a Fellow Champ
Moneymaker's CLC coach will be none other than 2015 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen. It's a generational bridge of sorts, old school learning from new school.
"I like the fact that he is a World Champ," Moneymaker said of his instructor. "Like it or not, people play different against us than the typical player. He has the same experiences I have playing at the table where you sort of have a target on your back. There's probably only about 15 people out there these days that the average poker fan will recognize, and the fact that Chip Leader Coaching has one of them on their roster in Joe McKeehen, I thought it was the perfect fit for me."
In his first two weeks as a part of CLC, Moneymaker participated in some group sessions, watched some videos, and chatted with Joe McKeehen. Not long after, he went out to Stone's Gambling Hall and made two final tables. And then of course there was his two NJSCOOP titles. It's been a good start, but you probably won't hear Moneymaker bragging about it too much.
"I went into another course anonymously," Moneymaker explained. "I just wanted to be another student and use it for my own growth as opposed to being an ambassador. My name is splashed around enough, and I didn't want to have another thing I needed to promote. I've done that with a few training sites. I don't really want people know I'm working on my game too much."
PokerStars Ambassadorship
Since his 2003 WSOP win, Moneymaker has had a close relationship with PokerStars. However, he admits that the recent exodus of Team Pros left him on unsure footing, at least for a bit.
"With the new PokerStars Players NL Hold'em Championship, they've invested a lot of money in that and had to make some cuts in other areas," he said. "Part of those cuts were Team Pros because they couldn't quantify what our worth is. Team Pro got cut pretty severely. I still have a job there. I think I was in danger a little bit of potentially getting cut, but I didn't."
One of the reasons he didn't as PokerStars found the perfect role for arguably the game's biggest name.
"One thing they're doing more now that they didn't so much in the past is trying to develop specific roles for us," Moneymaker stated. "They want different pros to fill different niches. My role is to foster these Platinum Pass winners and get them ready for the January tournament at the Atlantis in The Bahamas."

Some Lesser Known Facts About Osama bin Laden
Did Osama bin Laden smoke?: No
Did Osama bin Laden drink alcohol?: No
Laden's mother, Hamida al-Attas was the tenth wife of his father, Mohammed bin Laden.
He was the 17th of 52 children born to Mohammed bin Laden.
Soon after, Laden was born, his father divorced his mother and recommended Hamida to Mohammed al-Attas, a close associate.
His father, Mohammed bin Laden was a millionaire and had a construction business in the Middle East.
Mohammed bin Laden was very close and had a very good rapport with the Saudi royal family.
His father, Mohammed died in 1967 in an airplane crash in Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden was raised as a devout Sunni Muslim.
When he was studying at a University in Saudi Arabia, his main interest was religious studies but obtained degrees in other fields.
Laden had an olive complexion, used to work with his left hand and walked with the help of a walking stick.
In 1979, he went to Afghanistan and western Pakistan to resist the Soviet invasion. He supplied money and other needs from his father's company to support the jihadist movement against the Soviet Union's invasion.
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) supported the extremist Islamic groups in the 1980s including bin Laden's and sent them weapons and over $1 billion when they were fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
According to the former CIA analyst, Michael Scheuer, Laden used to hate western ideology: immoral acts of fornication, intoxicants, communism, socialism, democracy, homosexuality, gambling, usury, and their secular forms of the government.
He believed that injustices against Muslims and Muslim countries had been perpetrated by the United States and other non-Muslim states.
He wanted the U.S. to withdraw its forces from the Middle East.
According to Laden, Sharia law was the ultimate solution to set things right in the Muslim World.
Apart from the Soviet Union invasion, his hatred towards westernization also caused him to lay the foundation of Al-Qaeda in 1988.
During the late 1990s, he became very hostile to Americans and announced to kill Americans including civilians.
As per many sources, he was anti-semitic (Anti-Jew). According to him, Israel should not have existed. In May 1998, in an interview with ABC's John Miller, Laden stated that the Israeli state's ultimate goal was to annex the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East into its territory and enslave its peoples, as part of what he called a "Greater Israel."
Laden opposed the music for the Muslims.
In his first interview in the late 1990s, he publicly criticized Saudi Arabia for its dependence on the U.S. military, arguing that the two holiest shrines of Islam; Mecca and Medina, the places in which the Prophet Mohamed received and recited Allah's message, should only be protected by the Muslims.
Laden had many bodyguards and his arsenal included SAM-7 and Stinger missiles, RPGs, AK-47s, and PK machine guns.
He continued to denounce Saudi Arabia and its king, Fahd. In 1994, Fahd stripped Laden of his Saudi citizenship in response.
Laden claimed that he got inspiration to knock down the World Trade Center after watching the ruins of the towers in Lebanon by Israel during the 1982 Lebanon War.
19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four passenger airlines which departed from the northeastern part of the United States to California. At 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, two of the planes, United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11 were crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. A third plane got crashed into the Pentagon (Headquarter of the United States Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia.
The attack on the World Trade Center killed around 3000 people and injured thousands of others. It caused at least $10 billion in damages.
Since 2001, Laden had been the most-wanted for America. FBI put a $25 million bounty on him in their search for him.
According to one of his wives, after the 9/11 attack, Laden took his wives and children to an Al-Qaeda safehouse in Peshawar, Pakistan in 2002. In June 2005, Laden, along with his family moved to Abbottabad.
Laden evaded the arrest and attack by the U.S. Forces for the next 10 years. In August 2010, CIA cast doubt on a compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan and identified it as the likely location of Laden. The compound was situated only 1.3 km (0.8 mi.) southwest to the Pakistan Military Academy.
To identify the residents of the Abbottabad compound, the CIA organized a fake vaccination program with doctor Shakil Afridi. Nurses were sent to the compound to vaccinate children to extract the DNA, which could later be compared to a sample from his sister, who died in Boston in 2010.
In 2011, CIA became sure that Laden was residing in the Abbottabad compound. To find and kill him, Operation Neptune's Spear was permitted by the then U.S. President Barack Obama.
President Obama along with his national security team watched the operation live.
On May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am PKT (Pakistan Standard Time) (20:00 UTC, May 1), the members of the United States special operations forces and Navy Seals entered in his safe house and shot on his upper part of left the eye and chest.
Apart from Osama bin Laden, some others were killed by the U.S. Navy SEALs members on 2 May; Laden's son Khalid bin Laden (23), Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti (Messenger of Laden), Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti's brother Abrar and Bushra, and Abrar's wife.
After the 40 minutes raid, the U.S. forces took Laden's body to Afghanistan for identification, then buried him at North Arabian Sea within 24 hours.
On May 1, 2011, President Barack Obama addressed the country and the World at 11:35 pm EST that Laden had been killed in Pakistan by the United States Navy Seals.
Death was confirmed by Al-Qaeda on May 6, vowing to avenge the kill on its website.
Robert O'Neill, a U.S. Navy SEAL who later claimed to have shot Osama bin Laden.
A retired senior U.S. intelligence official later disclosed that a former ISI officer approached the U.S. embassy station chief in Islamabad and agreed to reveal Laden's location, in return for the $25 million rewards.

The Letter "Probing the origin of the microwave anomalous foreground" was published in A&A 509, L1 (2010). This corrigendum corrects the legend of Fig. 5, where the linestyles (dotted and dashed) were inverted (Fig. 1). Consequently, the results presented in Sect. 7.4 and Fig. 17 in Hoang et al. (2011) are in good agreement with the results of Ysard et al. (2010), regarding both the peak frequencies of the spectra and their relative intensities.

I Am Not Okay with This-Season 1 Review
Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
Have you ever watched a television show or movie feeling as if you really should love it more than you are but there's something not quite clicking into place?
I Am Not Okay with This is that type of show. The elements are all in place; it's got a great cast headed by Sophia Lillis, all seven episodes are directed by Jonathan Entwistle who worked on End of the F***ing World and even has a similarly weird, quirky cine-literate atmosphere to that series, and has a storyline ripe for something wonderful.
Yet, it doesn't work.
You sit there watching it wondering why the show doesn't quite come together. The obvious thing to say is that Sophia Lillis is wonderful in all seven episodes. If there's one thing that literally carries the series it's that her work here is superb and very engaging, and any cracks in the scripting here are filled in brilliantly by the nuances that Lillis brings to the main character of Sydney.
Same goes for IT co-star Wyatt Oleff. Yes, the series does function as something of an IT reunion with Oleff playing a considerably different type of character to Stanley, bringing a more extroverted edge to his role as Stanley here (yes, he is once again playing a character also called Stanley).
The series has that lovely visual sense that Entwistle also brought to End of the F***ing World and is set in a world that is very decade neutral. There are no cell phones in use, VHS is proclaimed to be the best format there is, and everyone seemingly listens to vinyl, yet an LCD television is glimpsed, as are USB sticks, and let's be honest, everyone has returned to listening to vinyl today, anyway.
The world is crafted beautifully and is visually gorgeous, and yet there is something slightly hollow in some of the approach to everything here.
Sophia Lillis' performance as Sydney is wonderful and the one aspect that carries I Am Not Okay with This.
Stranger Things has been one of the biggest examples of a work of pop culture that has taken the 80s and helped make it into a cultural thing again (although sometimes it feels like our love of that decade has never fully vanquished), but it's also led to an influx of series that want to take place in the present day but in one saturated with love for that decade, and while some shows and movies that utilised that to great effect, it almost feels as if the decision here to do so has been done because 'hey, the 80s are cool with the kids, right?'.
The series is based on a graphic novel by Charles Foresman and it's possible that element was baked into the concept of the source material, but it still rings as hollow on screen.
The idea of taking a superhero origin tale of sorts and turning it into a quirky, indie flavoured style story is neat and wonderful. The series has visual references to Brian De Palma's adaptation of Carrie, a 'Dear Diary' voiceover that reminds one of Winona Ryder's in Heathers, as well as an episode that pays tribute to The Breakfast Club, all the while exploring in somewhat darker detail what it means to be a teenager grappling with having supernatural powers.
Just writing that above paragraph makes one wish that this was a substantially better show; it's like preparing the world's greatest meal with the greatest ingredients but then realising that the oven isn't up to par and the final product hasn't come out as well as it should.
The superhero genre is so ripe for doing something different with, and while the majority of the genre has been given over to crashing skyscrapers and stories with large scale stakes, to take the notion of a teen character finding out she has powers and exploring it in a television series that has the ability to mix and match genres (there are elements of horror here, but also quirky comedy and coming of age drama) should be a hell of a lot better than this.
Even the central idea of filtering these ideas and themes through a female character marks it out as somewhat different and which makes one wish it was better. We've followed male teens such as Peter Parker through so many reboots of Spider-Man on the big screen being happy and okay with an abundance of 'great responsibility' and yet the core of I Am Not Okay with This is a character who is dealing with a genuine sense of teen angst that is never portrayed in a glossy way. It never gives way to trite, silly fantasies about saving the world, and instead builds up one hell of a head explosion that is nauseatingly hilarious.
It's not terrible, but it cannot help but be a massive disappointment either, and yet all seven episodes are carried wonderfully by Lillis who is the genuine star of the show. Any shortcomings of the writing here are offset by great work from its star, and the one thing that the audience will come away with is thinking how great she is. Engaging and deeply sympathetic, her work here is an example of an actress literally carrying a show.
The series ends its seventh and final episode with a cliffhanger that everyone involved clearly think they'll get to return to. Since this aired two months ago and nothing has been announced regarding a second season, that is looking very unlikely. The series feels as if it's going somewhere come the final episode, but then it ends just at the point when a key piece of information is about to be revealed and which the season seemed to be building to, and it's that point you realise I Am Not Okay with This hasn't really went anywhere and it just leaves it a viewing experience more emptier than ever.

Miami Palmetto Senior High School is one of the last 1950s Eisenhower-era schools in Miami-Dade County in its original form. So, it was with pride and hope on December 11, 2017, that current principal Victoria Dobbs hosted a presentation of the significant renovation plans about to begin.
About 60 interested parents, students and neighbors watched a presentation laying out the construction plan. The centerpieces of which is a three-story building that will house the administration and vocational labs. It also will shift the front of the school to SW 120th Street, which they believe will relieve traffic on SW 118th Street. The $44M bond that is funding the project will also add a new state-of-the-art cafeteria (to replace what has been called the worst cafeteria in all of Dade County, a single-story arts building and a black box theater. Beyond that, many of the existing buildings will be renovated and the whole school will get new paint and furniture.
Phase one starts this spring. The existing faculty parking and basketball courts will give way to the start of the new 3-story building on the southeast part of the 18-acre campus and two new basketball courts will be added adjacent to the current sports field. The idea is that school life will continue normally throughout construction with minimal impact on students.
Phase three is updating the existing buildings and putting in new furniture and fixtures. Completion is slated for 2021.
In the end, the 120,900 square-feet of new construction will add capacity for only 90 more students, but the number of classrooms goes up and the educational environment is significantly improved.
Attendees of the presentation were mostly pleased with the plan, but they did ask a few good questions. Palmetto Bay Mayor Eugene Flinn asked about green features and whether bike lanes and parking was considered. The response was tepid. While they won't apply for LEED certification, they did 'have green features in mind' for the construction, such as efficient HVAC systems, LED lighting and low-flow plumbing throughout. However, no solar power is in the plan, which seemed odd to many in the audience.
Drew Latta, a Palmetto senior and member of student council had the opinion that, "although the new building looks great, the density could be a negative to student life. Being that consolidated means less student freedom, walking and less activity." He was also concerned about the safety of students during construction, in particular about airborne particles but felt that the order of construction mostly alleviated that concern.
Several students, parents and residents were concerned about the parking and traffic flows around the schools. One parent called the existing parking lot 'horrendous' and many agreed. While the final parking situation will reduce the number of spots by nearly 100 (to 723 spots), the distribution of spaces will likely increase safety and reduce drive times. As for traffic flow, many were very concerned about pick-up and drop-off; however, no one seemed to have a real answer for those concerns and officials noted this may need to be addressed as construction proceeds.
The audience asked about safety features as well. The new campus will include a large number of security cameras and one-way panic doors to thwart unauthorized trespassing.
Valerie Volpe lives nearby on 118th Street, west of 77th Avenue, and went to school at Palmetto in its early years. She was sad that the iconic 50's look of the entrance was going to be lost.

One Hope Made Strong plans to relocate to a vacant central city building -- a move that provides more space while also helping redevelop that property.
A Milwaukee electrical contractor is buying a central city property with plans of relocating a nonprofit job training program there.
Ezzard White operates One Hope Made Strong Inc., which provides basic training for people interested in the construction trades.
The Common Council's Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee has approved a proposal to sell a city-owned property to White's electrical contracting firm, EWS Electric.
The full council is to review that proposal on Monday.
EWS Electric would buy two buildings, totaling 21,100 square feet at 2451-2457 W. North Ave., for $5,000.
The city acquired the vacant buildings in 2014 through property tax foreclosure.
White plans to convert a two-story building at the property's south end into One Hope's training facility. Those renovations are expected to be completed this fall, according to a Department of City Development report.
White also wants to renovate an adjacent three-story building overlooking North Avenue that has eight apartments on the upper floors and first floor retail space.
That work is to be completed in fall 2020.
The renovations would total over $367,000, Matthew Haessly, a DCD real estate specialist, told committee members.
White told committee members there's a growing demand for electricians, plumbers, carpenters and other skilled construction trades people in part because many older workers are retiring.
One Hope's funding has come mainly through White's company, according to the DCD report, as well as "minimal" tuition payments.
White said One Hope has received donations from local churches. He plans to seek other financing sources, including a city grant to help pay for the building improvements.
Committee members praised White and One Hope.
"We need you," said Ald. Khalif Rainey, committee chair. "The community needs you."
White said One Hope's courses include basic instruction in electrical circuits, carpentry, plumbing and welding. The program's graduates apply for apprenticeships in the various trades.
Elisha Grady has taken courses at One Hope and plans to apply for the plumbing apprenticeship program.
One Hope's "hands on" approach to learning has worked well for her.
"It's a phenomenal program," said Grady, who now works as an administrative assistant.
One Hope operates at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, 1927 N. Phillips Ave. It would have more space at the North Avenue building.
White knows from personal experience how learning a skilled trade can lead to a better life.
He started working in 1980 as a vocational education teacher at what's now known as Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School.
But Milwaukee Public Schools fired him in 1991 for misconduct. In 1993, he was sentenced to four years in prison after being convicted of fraud.
White's conviction of "a non-violent offense more than a quarter-century ago" wasn't a factor in DCD's decision to recommend selling the property to him, said Jeff Fleming, department spokesman.
After completing his sentence, White went back to work as an electrician.
"I know exactly what it takes for a young man or young woman to be provided a skill to earn a living wage," White said.

UK confirms reduction in energy support for businesses from April
The new "transitional support" will run for 12 months from 1 April 2023.
Beverage manufacturers have been heavily hit by soaring gas and electricity prices.
The UK government has confirmed plans to reduce the amount of support businesses receive on their energy bills.
As part of the scaling back of the programme to support UK firms with soaring prices, the government will remove the cap on the unit cost of gas and electricity, and instead offer a discount on the prices charged by energy companies.
Under the new "Energy Bills Discount Scheme", non-domestic energy customers – including beverage manufacturers, pubs and bars – will receive a discount of GBP6.97 (US$8.47) a megawatt hour for gas and GBP19.61 a MWh for electricity.
James Cartlidge, the Exchequer secretary to the Treasury, said that was the equivalent to a GBP2,300 annual saving for a pub or bar, based on typical usage.
Cartlidge described the scheme as a GBP5.5bn package of "transitional support" for businesses that would run for 12 months from 1 April 2023.
"It is not sustainable for the Exchequer to continue to support large numbers of businesses at the current level, " Cartlidge told MPS. "No responsible, serious government anywhere in the world can permanently shield businesses from this energy price shock."
The new energy support scheme replaces the current Treasury-funded energy bill discount, which covers the difference between wholesale prices and a "government-supported price" of GBP211 a MWh for electricity and GBP75 a MWh for gas.
The current scheme – introduced in October – is estimated to have cost the UK government GBP18bn.
Responding to the new Energy Bills Discount Scheme, UKHospitality Chief Executive Kate Nicholls said: "It was crucial for hospitality businesses to receive an extension to energy support, which has been a vital lifeline for many this winter.
"While I'm relieved the Chancellor has listened to UKHospitality's concerns and extended the scheme as a whole, the absence of a sector-specific package that helps vulnerable sectors like hospitality will still result in higher bills. Our analysis shows the new, lower level of support will see a total GBP4.5 billion hike in bills for the sector compared to the previous scheme.
"This will simply be unsustainable for many. With no further, dedicated support for a vulnerable sector like hospitality, I'd urge the Government to consider other measures it can take to help the sector."
Food and Drink Federation chief executive Karen Betts added: "The government's announcement of continued support for food and drink businesses with their energy bills is welcome. Manufacturers are under a great deal of pressure as they try to keep their heads above water while absorbing very high and volatile energy costs in order to keep the cost of everyday food and drink as low as possible for shoppers.
"This support recognises the criticality of the food and drink supply chain and that our businesses use constant levels of energy year-round, and it should help slow record levels of food and drink inflation."
Despite wholesale energy prices having fallen to below levels seen before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, bills continue to rise for UK businesses and households.
UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt said he had asked the energy watchdog Ofgem whether further action was needed to ensure market forces were working correctly.
"Wholesale energy prices are falling and have now gone back to levels just before Putin's invasion of Ukraine," he said. "But to provide reassurance against the risk of prices rising again we are launching the new Energy Bills Discount Scheme, giving businesses the certainty they need to plan ahead.
"Even though prices are falling, I am concerned this is not being passed on to businesses, so I've written to Ofgem asking for an update on whether further action is action is needed to make sure the market is working for businesses."

High-z Supernova Search Team Wins Gruber Cosmology Prize
Brian Schmidt (Australian National University) and the High-z Supernova Search team have been awarded the 2007 Gruber Cosmology Prize for their discovery that the universe's expansion is accelerating under the influence of dark energy. They will share the honor with Saul Perlmutter (University of California at Berkeley) and the Supernova Cosmology Project, a second team of astronomers who also observed the accelerating expansion.
"The Gruber Prize is a great honor reflecting on the work done by more than 20 people over a decade," said Schmidt. "When I look at the previous winners of the award, I feel humbled, but it shows the strength of a team working together."
Eleven of the 19 members of the High-z Supernova Search Term are or previously were affiliated with Harvard University. Clowes Professor of Science Robert Kirshner, leader of the Harvard supernova group since 1986, worked with all of them.
"I am especially proud because so many of the people being recognized by this award are my Ph.D. students, postdocs, and co-workers here at Harvard," enthused Kirshner. "Brian Schmidt, Adam Riess, Saurabh Jha, and Chris Smith were all terrific students. Bruno Leibundgut, Peter Garnavich, and Peter Challis have been great staff members, and Chris Stubbs has been a great catch for Harvard's faculty."
Harvard University graduates Craig Hogan and John Tonry round out the list of Harvard affiliates on the High-z team.
Julia Lee, a faculty member who has recently joined the Harvard Astronomy Department, also was recognized in the prize as a member of the Supernova Cosmology Project team.
The $500,000 Gruber Cosmology Prize is awarded in partnership with the International Astronomical Union. According to its sponsor, the Peter & Patricia Gruber Foundation, the Cosmology Prize honors a leading cosmologist, astronomer, astrophysicist or scientific philosopher for theoretical, analytical or conceptual discoveries leading to fundamental advances in the field.
The two teams receiving the 2007 Prize were cited because "the discovery of the accelerated expansion has radically changed our perception of cosmic evolution." Astronomers now recognize that the universe is dominated by dark energy, and that the eventual fate of the universe is inextricably tied to the presence of dark energy and dark matter.
"I think this discovery represents the end of the beginning for cosmology," said Adam Riess (Johns Hopkins University and Space Telescope Science Institute), who led the study for which the group is being honored. "The universe's constituents have been plumbed, though their nature remains a mystery."
In 1997, the High-z team's analysis of observations of distant exploding stars first showed evidence that the expansion of the universe is speeding up. That discovery flew in the face of common wisdom that the universe's expansion should be slowing due to gravity.
The team examined so-called Type Ia supernovae, which act as "standard candles" since their intrinsic brightness is known. By measuring the observed brightness and recession velocity due to cosmic expansion (or redshift), astronomers can calculate the distance to the supernova. Their calculations showed that the farthest supernovae were dimmer than expected, and therefore more distant than expected. As a result, the universe had to be expanding faster than expected.
"When Adam Riess told me what the data were saying, late in 1997, I could not believe it," said Kirshner. "We double-checked the analysis and got the same answer. That's when the horrible truth dawned on me: we had a result that was going to turn this field upside down."
The High-z Supernova Search team announced their discovery of the accelerating universe in February 1998. A detailed paper was submitted to the Astronomical Journal in March 1998 and published in September (Riess et al. 1998, AJ, 116, 1009). It is available online at http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AJ/journal/issues/v116n3/980111/980111.web.pdf.
In the nine years that followed, study after study has confirmed the findings of the High-z Supernova Search team and the Supernova Cosmology Project. The current standard model for cosmology describes a universe that is 70 percent dark energy, 25 percent dark matter, and only 5 percent normal matter.
"I am still trying to come to grips with our discovery of an accelerating universe," said Schmidt. "It didn't make much sense in 1998, and the whole notion of dark energy that seems to make up most of our universe is still very foggy."
"We don't know what the dark energy really is, and we don't know what the dark matter really is," summarized Kirshner. "We've got a lot of work still to do!"
The Cosmology Prize will be officially awarded at a ceremony in Cambridge, UK on Sept. 7, 2007. The $500,000 prize will be shared in four parts: by Brian Schmidt, Saul Perlmutter, and the two teams, which included fifty-one co-authors between the two key papers.
The full list of High-z Supernova Search team members who will share the Cosmology Prize, and their current affiliations, is Brian Schmidt (Australian National University), Peter Challis (Harvard University), Alejandro Clocchiatt (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile), Alan Diercks (Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle), Alexei V. Filippenko (University of California, Berkeley), Peter M. Garnavich (University of Notre Dame), Ronald L. Gilliland (Space Telescope Science Institute), Craig J. Hogan (University of Washington), Saurabh Jha (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), Robert P. Kirshner, (Harvard University), Bruno Leibundgut (European Southern Observatory), Mark M. Phillips (Carnegie Observatories), David Reiss (Institute for Systems Biology. Seattle), Adam G. Riess (Space Telescope Science Institute), Robert A. Schommer (Deceased), R. Chris Smith (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile), Jason Spyromilio (European Southern Observatory), Christopher Stubbs (Harvard University), Nicholas B. Suntzeff (Texas A&M University), and John L. Tonry (Institute for Astronomy, Honolulu).

'Avatar' movie sequel to resume production in NZ
By Lisa Richwine
Los Angeles: A sequel to James Cameron's sci-fi movie blockbuster Avatar will go back into production next week for the first time since it was shuttered by worldwide efforts to contain the coronavirus, producer Jon Landau said.
Film and TV production came to halt around the globe in mid-March but is slowly returning in some countries including New Zealand, where the Avatar sequel is being filmed.
"Our #Avatar sets are ready — and we couldn't be more excited to be headed back to New Zealand next week," Landau wrote on Instagram beneath a photo of two boats on the set. Landau identified them as the Matador, a high-speed forward command vessel, and the Picador, a jet boat.

Authorities in New Zealand, where coronavirus slowed dramatically after the government enforced a strict lockdown, have approved film industry safeguards for resuming productions. Each set needs a permit to bring people back to work.
Released in 2009, Avatar had been the highest-grossing movie of all time until July 2019 when it was overtaken by superhero flick Avengers: Endgame.
Cameron has been working on its sequels for years and their release has been delayed several times. The second instalment is scheduled to debut in December 2021, followed by three others in 2023, 2025 and 2027.
They will be distributed by Walt Disney, which took over the franchise when it bought film and TV businesses from 21st Century Fox in 2019.
