GREECE AND SPAIN ARE BOTH MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES WITH GREAT HOLIDAY ISLANDS. BUT WHICH ISLAND WINS THE TITLE AS THE BEST PARTY ISLAND – IBIZA OR MYKONOS?
Ibiza is a worthycontender. This 570-km Spanish island is famous for its "chill-out" compilations and clubbing. It's one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea. Although Ibiza may be the epicentre of the electronic music scene, this party island has a lot more to offer than just techno-blaring clubs. There has been a massive development in the island's "hippie-district" where bohemian people gather for concerts, bars and music reminiscent of the 1970s.

Has anyone been asked by their treasurers about how to comply with the recent AG opinion regarding commissioners court approval of all payrolls prior to payment? What has been the practice here and in other smaller counties has been they would make payroll and then the court would approve after the fact. This AG opinion states this practice is backwards, and the court must approve before payroll. The question now is whether the court could do some type of estimated pre-approval, in order to avoid scheduling additional meetings just for approving payroll. Something like "we approve the treasurer to do payroll up to X amount on X date" in advance. One of our neighboring counties is doing this, so I wanted to see if this is a common practice now.
I have had the same question. It is apparently a very hot topic on the county judge and treasurers listservs. My county is going to continue to do things as we always have for the present on the theory that the Court approves the budget which includes amounts for salaries and estimates for hourly wages for the entire year. Then the Court ratifies the payroll after the actual numbers are in.
I have been told by other officials that the opinion is causing enough chaos that it could well be withdrawn or clarified.
We are debating the same issue here. My understanding is that the Treasurers Assoc is operating under the premise that the opinion only applies to counties with populations under 190,000 and everyone else is business as usual.
Anyone else getting any feedback on this? Our Auditor is refusing to issue payroll.
Our court meets twice per month so normally this will not cause a problem. For the few instances that will create a problem we just scheduled an additional meeting for them to approve the payroll.

Lion of Ireland, by the American-Irish author Morgan Llywelyn, is a novel about the life of the Irish hero and High King Brian Boru.

Plot summary
The story begins with Brian as a child of around 8 or 9 and it ends with him as an 88-year-old man. The book shows his rise to power and his struggle to maintain it. His personal life is an important part of the plot, because Brian's war against Máel Mórda (leader of the Leinstermen) and Sihtric (king of Dublin) was to be inextricably connected with his complicated marital relations, in particular his marriage to Gormlaith, Máel Mórda's sister and Sihtric's mother, who had been in turn the wife of Amlaíb Cuarán, king of Dublin and York, then of Máel Sechnaill. Even though the book is based on a historical figure, most of it is fiction.

Film adaptation
In 2003, Ireland based RiverFilms proposed a film adaptation of the book as Braveheart and El Cid meet The Vikings.

On March 4, 2019, it was announced in Deadline that a new movie adaptation was in the works. The series would be created by Irish author Michael Scott. The article was subsequently picked up the Sunday Times, and Irish Central who listed both Scott and BCDF Pictures as producers.

NSCDC arrests Beninese over alleged illicit affair with mother in Kwara
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a Beninese, Adamu Sime, over an alleged illicit affair with his mother in Kwara State.
The NSCDC spokesman in Kwara, Babawale Afolabi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Ilorin, the state capital.
He said the Beninese had been having an amorous affair with his mother for a long time, adding that the union produced three children.
Afolabi said: "On September 9, the District Head of Mosne Had Community, Kaima, Malam Bandede, reported the forbidden act between Sime and his mother Fati Sime of the same community.
"After receiving the report, men of the NSCDC Intelligence Unit in Kaima swung into action and the outcome of the investigations established the fact that the mother had three children for her biological son."
"Further investigation revealed that the accused younger brother also slept with the mother. But he is now at large.
"The woman and her two sons who are without the necessary papers to stay in Nigeria had been handed over to the Nigeria lmmigration Service for background checks and further action."

hapa.me
Yesterday I went to the Japanese American National Museum to see Kip Fulbeck's exhibit hapa.me: 15 years of the hapa project. I've blogged about what hapa means before and also about seeing Kip Fulbeck at the LA Times Festival of Books in 2017. For this exhibit, Fulbeck took new photographs of the participants in the original Hapa Project and again asked them to respond to the prompt, What are you? The result is about 40 double portraits separated in time by fifteen years, accompanied by the subjects' original written statements and their new ones.
I wanted to see the exhibit because I'm always interested in explorations of mixed race Asian (American) identity, but I was also particularly looking to see how Fulbeck's subjects engaged with their identity and the label hapa fifteen years later. I was curious whether some of the participants, like me, felt more ueasy claiming the word hapa than they used to in light of a growing sensitivity to the appropriation of a Hawaiian term. On this front, I was rather disappointed by the double portraits. There was basically no engagement with this specific question. I still enjoyed the photographs and the statements, though.
Only after I'd looked at all the portraits did I realize there was a panel on the wall on "The Etymology of Hapa." Here, I thought Fulbeck might have wrestled with the question of who gets to call themselves hapa. I was again somewhat disappointed. The text recognized that different people think hapa means different things and some people argue that there is a right way (and thus implicitly a wrong way) for the term to be deployed. This appeared to be an oblique acknowledgment of the controversy over mainland multiracial Asian Pacific Americans identifying as hapa. But the text read as defensive to me, emphasizing as it did how language is constantly evolving. Sure, that's true, but I don't think that's a shield we can step behind to avoid having to really question our claiming of hapa.
In the next gallery, there were eight albums of additional portraits with written statements. I believe these represented work from Fulbeck's ongoing Hapa Project (I actually tried participating at the Japanese American National Museum a while ago, but they didn't need any more people). The walls were also covered with miniature photographs of exhibit visitors, with accompanying answers to the What are you? question on half sheets of paper. (This interactive component only happens on Saturdays.) I read a bunch of these, and finally I found one that expressed what was on my mind: "I used to ID as 'hapa' but don't feel like it's my word to claim anymore as a mainland mixed kid." I was honestly surprised not to see more of this. That said, in my experience, it's younger (say, under 30?) multiracial Asian Americans who are more likely to choose not to call themselves hapa anymore. In any case, thank you, anonymous museum goer!

Mixed Remixed 2016
As I mentioned last week, I went to my second Mixed Remixed Festival two weekends ago. Last year, I went for the first time and had a wonderful time. This year, I applied to be a presenter and was placed on a panel entitled "Excavating Family Mythology & Publishing Your First Children's or YA Book." (I was a little perplexed when I found out because as far as I'm aware I excavated zero family mythology for either of my books, but it turned out not to matter.)
Oh, my goodness! I'm on a panel flyer!
While last year's festival was only one day, this year's was two. My panel was on Friday, the first day. I took the bus to the Japanese American National Museum early in the afternoon in order to make it to the panel before mine, "Hapa Writers: Our Stories in Fiction." On my way in, I met Heidi Durrow, the author who founded the festival, for the first time in person.
To me, the most interesting part of the hapa writers panel was when panelist Maria T. Allocco talked about her relationship to the very term hapa. I've alluded to the complexities of using this word before. Maria explained that she no longer liked to call herself hapa because it means "part" or "fragment," and she is of course whole. She also said she found the word Eurocentric, I think because it's sometimes understood as meaning someone of mixed Asian and European ancestry. But I don't think this is the definition used in, say, Kip Fulbeck's Part Asian, 100% Hapa. I also have qualms about using the term hapa, but for entirely different reasons. My understanding is that hapa is a Hawaiian word that means "half" and that can be used in combination with many other modifiers to refer to people of all kinds of different multiracial identities. That is, hapa itself has nothing to do with Asian ancestry. It's in the mainland U.S. that it came to mean an Asian mixed race person. I'm uncomfortable with the way a Hawaii-specific term has been appropriated, but I'm conflicted because, like several of the panelists, I like having this word to describe exactly what I am.
Next up was my panel! My fellow panelists were Katrina Goldsaito, author of the forthcoming picture book The Sound of Silence; Maria Leonard Olsen, author of, among other books, Mommy, Why's Your Skin So Brown?; and Veda Stamps, author of the middle grade contemporary novel Flexible Wings. Our moderator was Jamie Moore, the festival's literary coordinator. The conversation ranged from our writing processes to why we write for children to what we read growing up to We Need Diverse Books to how to balance writing with a day job. I was the only writer on the panel who hadn't actually written a book with a mixed race protagonist.
Speaking on my first author panel ever wasn't as nerve-wracking as I'd anticipated. I didn't get tongue-tied, and I think I managed not to say anything absurd. I had fun, and it was a great way to meet people. I was touched that Claire Ramsaran, the organizer of the mixed and queer writing workshop who interviewed me for the Mixed Remixed blog after last year's festival, came to my panel even though children's literature is not her specialty. Also, when the panel was over, N, one of the people scheduled to speak on Saturday's millennials panel, came up to talk to me, and we had an interesting conversation about Asian-inspired fantasy.
On Saturday, I went back for a full Day 2 of the festival. The first panel I went to was "Is the Mixed Thing Just for Girls?" There were two men on the panel, so…no? One of the audience questions really brought home to me the fact that mixed race people are not a monolith (obviously) because it was about hair. I really can't speak to this experience, but my impression is that hair is a big deal to white and black multiracial people (or I guess black and anything). There are always tons of reference to hair at the festival, and one of the main sponsors is Mixed Chicks, a company that makes hair products specifically for mixed people (where, as far as I can tell, mixed means part-black). Last year, festival attendees all got sample products in our goodie bags. I think those products are still stashed in my room somewhere. I don't have curly hair, and my hair is far from being a major facet of my multiracial identity.
I took a break for lunch and got some onigiri in the Japanese Village Plaza. After lunch was the mixed and queer writing workshop I mentioned, which I also went to last year. It was a little smaller this time around, but some of the same people came, so it was fun to reconnect with them. I had a conversation with one of them about using or not using hapa to describe ourselves. She actually avoids it, precisely because of the appropriation issue. Then we started comparing notes about grad school experiences…
From the workshop, I went to the featured writers panel, mostly to hear Jamie Ford read. The other authors were poet F. Douglas Brown, memoirist and spoken word artist Willy Wilkinson (whom I saw perform last year in the live show), and novelists Sunil Yapa and Natashia Deón. Jamie Ford read a scene from his next novel, about a hapa boy who comes from China to the U.S. only to be sold at the Seattle World's Fair (I think).
Next I went to "Mixed Millennials: Changing What Mixed-Race Means," the panel N was on, since, well, I'm a millennial! N and one of the other panelists, Andrea, co-run a website called Mixed Race Politics, which publishes articles and essays related to the mixed race experience.
After a bit of a break, there was a reception in the building across from the museum. There I got to talk to the very kind Jamie Ford, who asked me what was next for me writing-wise. Then we piled into the Tateuchi Democracy Forum for the Storyteller's Prize Presentation & Live Show. I sat with Andrea and Claire and a couple of other people from the writing workshop. Opening once again this year was singer and multi-instrumentalist Kayla Briët (I'm still envious of her guzheng). Then we got to see a sneak peek from the forthcoming film Loving, about Richard and Mildred Loving, of Loving vs. Virginia fame.
The other performers were:
Lichelli, who delivered a monologue about hair
Andrew J. Figueroa "Fig," who went to Hampshire College and who performed amazing, amazing…Hip-Hop, I guess? (I'm going by his bio; I'm terrible with music genres). His piece on being harassed by a policeman in high school blew me away.
Maya Azucena, who's singing and stage presence were also very impressive and stirring
The Storyteller's Prize went to Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans for their picture book Mixed Me! I belatedly realized that Taye Diggs was a way bigger deal than I knew (this seems to happen to me a lot, since I'm so out of it when it comes to pop culture and/or the entertainment industry).
Like last year, the live show was exciting, invigorating, and cathartic. Afterwards, there was another reception with cake. I chatted with Andrea and met a few more people before heading home. I'm already looking forward to next year's festival!

Spring Break: Nature, Culture, and Gastronomy
Last summer, when my parents and I drove out to Los Angeles, we tried to have dinner at Newport Seafood (新港海鮮), a restaurant in San Gabriel famous for its Chinese-style lobster. When we arrived, having driven across the desert from Arizona, we found ourselves in a parking lot that looked a bit like that traffic gridlock game Rush Hour. My mother went inside the restaurant to reconnoiter and reported a scene of chaos: an entryway teeming with small children while grandmothers propped themselves up against the walls. Needless to say, we failed in our quest to eat there. Over my spring break, though, we tried again. This time, we arrived before the restaurant opened for lunch, and my brother and I camped out on the sidewalk with half a dozen other families while my parents checked out the Chinese bakeries down the street. And…success! We ordered our lobster, and it was amazing.
The next day, we visited Topanga State Park in the Santa Monica Mountains and went on a gentle hike through live oak groves and chaparral. There weren't many wildflowers in bloom, probably because it's been so dry, but we saw some lizards and a California lupine, and we heard the call of the wrentit.
On the way back from Topanga State Park, we stopped by the beach and watched some sandpipers.
The following day, we took a winding road up into the San Bernardino Mountains and rose above the clouds to reach the Rim of the World. We went on to Lake Arrowhead Village, a kitschy tourist town on the shores of a blue-green reservoir populated by mallards, coots, white geese, and other waterfowl. We also walked around the nearby Lake Gregory.
On our way back, we stopped for dinner at 101 Noodle Express in Alhambra. They had delicious dumplings and hand-torn noodles with minced pork and long bean, but the star of the show was this Shandong beef roll. It's a giant fried pancake wrapped around thinly sliced beef, cilantro, and other greens, with a bit of sauce that tasted like hoisin sauce. Very different from the kind of Chinese food I grew up eating, and so incredibly delicious.
We spent the next day in downtown LA, prowling around Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; visiting the Japanese American National Museum; and exploring Little Tokyo. I really liked this flower-shaped fountain made of shards of blue and white china in the Disney Hall community park.
Before walking to Disney Hall, we'd put our name down at Daikokuya, a very popular ramen shop in Little Tokyo. When we returned, there were even more people waiting on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant than when we'd left. The sheet with our name on it was gone, replaced by a new one, but my mother got a server to fish the old sheet out of a wastebasket and find us on it and thus finagled us three red vinyl-covered stools at the counter. And that's how I got to eat this savory bowl of ramen.
After lunch, we explored the nearby Japanese American National Museum, particularly the exhibit on the history of the Japanese communities in the United States, which rightly devoted significant space to the Japanese American internment. I particularly liked this biwa, though, a traditional Japanese lute related to the Chinese pipa.
Finally, to wrap up this spring break post, here is me at The Huntington Gardens, with a purple-flowered vine whose names include Queen's Wreath, Blue Bird Vine, and Fleur de Dieu.

Khloe Kardashian Splits With Tristan Thompson After He Allegedly Cheats With Kylie's BFF
Khloe Kardashian, co-star of the family reality TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has reportedly split up with her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, who allegedly cheated on her with her sister, Kylie's, best friend, Jordan Woods.
According to TMZ, Tristan flew into Los Angeles to spend Valentine with Khloe and their daughter, True. Tristan snuggled up with Jordan in a house party he was at on Sunday night.
Khloe found out and immediately broke things off with the NBA player, Tristan. Sources said she has had enough.
Tristan Cheats On Khloe
Cheating on Khloe with Jordan Woods is not the first time for Tristan.
TMZ reports that in October 2017, Tristan was in a hookah lounge in Washington D.C. where he motorboated a woman and got handsy with another.
The video surfaced days before Khloe gave birth, and just before she delivered, he was seen in a video going into an NYC Hotel with yet another woman.
Khloe hasn't been back to Cleveland much this season, though the 2 still remained together. She was on hand when Tristan's team ended an extended losing streak, TMZ reports.
We don't know Kylie's reaction to the latest development, but she and Jordan have been inseparable.

The statute of limitations generally spans three years, but there are exceptions.
Unless expecting a refund, dealing with the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) is rarely enjoyable. This was particularly true for a man who recently battled the IRS in court over a tax debt from the 1980s. Unfortunately for him, he lost. Fortunately for you, lessons can be learned from his tale.
The case noted above, Beeler v. Commissioner, involved payroll taxes, a mistaken release of a tax lien and multiple judgments. It was a pretty unique set of circumstances, and the ruling holding the taxpayer accountable for a thirty year old debt is not unheard of. A variety of circumstances can lead to similar rulings. Yet, the holding to require payment after such a large time period caught the attention of the national media, including Forbes.
The article in Forbes noted that the statute for limitations for an audit or assessment by the IRS is generally three years after the due date of the return or the date that the return was filed, whichever is later. However, the statute of limitations for the IRS to collect is longer, generally 10 years.
Although these are the general rules, there are exceptions. For example, there is no statute of limitations for failures to file tax returns.
Payment plans. In some cases, the IRS allows for payment plans for those who are financially unable to immediately pay a tax bill.
Currently Non Collectable Status. The IRS places certain delinquent tax cases in a "currently-not-collectable" ("CNC") status, after its agents have determined that there is no ability to collect the taxes from the delinquent taxpayer. If at any point in this process the taxpayer can demonstrate that the payment of the back taxes, either through voluntary or enforced means, would create an "economic hardship" on the taxpayer, then the IRS will close the collection case by placing the taxpayer's account in "CNC" status. This simply means that the IRS inputs a computer code on the taxpayer's account that reflects the fact that the taxpayer cannot afford to pay the back taxes and meet his or her minimum monthly living expenses, but the balance will remain due, just not collectable at this time. It is important to recognize that what the taxpayer may view as a hardship, the IRS may view as just an economic or personal inconvenience.
Bankruptcy. For those who are unable to make a payment, bankruptcy may be an option. It is important to note that not all forms of tax debt can be relieved through a petition for bankruptcy relief and certain requirements must be met to qualify.
Determining the best option can be difficult. As a result, it is generally wise to seek legal counsel for guidance.
If the IRS is requesting additional information, conducting an audit or otherwise claiming that a tax debt is owed, an experienced IRS tax lawyer can help. This legal professional can both review the situation to ensure the IRS is not violating your rights and provide guidance on various payment options that could lessen the burden.

Q: Inline links in comments Can we please have these?
I would like to be able to write something like [Inline Link](http://example.com/) and have it work in a comment instead of "Inline Link - http://example.com/".
Case in point (not my comment):

Doesn't that look smashing?

A: I think this should be allowed. If you can add links (and you can), why can't you give them meaningful names?
Take Æther's post as an example, he could have just said "related proposal". Looks much better.

A: Looks like this was added. You do it just as described in the question:
[Inline Link](http://foo.com)

A: I know I've wished for this feature a number of times, for adding a link to someone else's answer. Particularly because it was a comment to someone else's answer, it wasn't appropriate to add a separate answer.
Comments should generally be short—true. I think allowing this feature would make comments shorter and more readable.
The comment length limit should still be a valid incentive for people to keep comments short (I assume the links would continue to "use up" the comment length limit).

Discussion in 'General Dog Forum' started by Nanny71, Apr 11, 2018.
Dudley used to eat dirt and mud quite often as a puppy. He seemed to stop as he got a little older but he has started again this winter. It is not for water as he does it mainly in the garden sometimes around the bushes. We do not have any dangerous plants as we have chickens in the garden.
Could he possibly be finding something he is not getting in his food? Should I give him supplementary vitamins/minerals. He is still young at two and a half but I am wondering if he is missing something.
He has Canagan dog food which I believe is a good food.
The Airdale I walk eats mud sometimes and it seems to be the same two matches that she favours. Google obviously has a variety of reasons for it, I generally am of the opinion that a dog will self medicate for their own needs instinctively, the Airdale has always grazed on nettles too, which are a natural antihistamine, this breed are prone to itchy skin apparently and she has never had any problems with her skin and has a beautiful coat.
And we have of course, couch grass. Though I would always monitor what your dog is attracted too and check it out first just incase!
He eats grass sometimes too but not in our garden. There is one particular clump at the side of a wall where we walk which he seems very partial to.
Maybe just make sure your worming regime covers lungworm as that can be contracted from the slime trails left by snails.
"Could he possibly be finding something he is not getting in his food?"
I know this is a well accepted theory, but to me it never made any sense... Zappa sometimes eats poo, mud, dirt, dirt water, etc etc... He also eats a well balanced diet (good kibble plus fresh cooked meat and vegetables).

The making of Battlefield 5's campaign
By Xalavier Nelson Jr.
How the singleplayer anthology was created.
This article originally ran in PC Gamer issue 329 early last month. Subscribe here to have our monthly magazine sent to your door or digital device.
I spoke to some of the lead developers of the Battlefield V campaign about the process of its creation, their goals with various sections of the anthology, their thoughts on audience reactions, and the potential future of singleplayer campaigns in the Battlefield series.
Coming away from the well-received vignette structure of Battlefield 1, what storytelling traits did you want to carry forward into Battlefield 5?
Eric Holmes, design director, Battlefield 5: I think what we found was a way to weave a story and gameplay in a way to emotionally reach the player. It might sound obvious, but that was our biggest takeaway. Battlefield has always had spectacular, high-agency experiences. But the 'feels' were new to the series. That was what we wanted to build on most.
Battlefield 5 often uses mechanical progression and spatial design to directly strengthen the narrative of a given campaign. What did the partnership between narrative and gameplay teams look like behind the scenes? How much did this workflow allow for iteration?
Eric: We break each story into roughly 15-minute sections, with a story map guiding us to what each is about, both for narrative and gameplay. When it was best, we were collaborating on experiences to blend gameplay and narrative together.
Usually, there were great ideas that would appear during development of those pieces—for example, the ad-hoc off-key song with Bridger and Mason toward the end of Under No Flag. You have to be playing the game to come up with ideas as to what would make it sing.
Another example would be the DICE animation team having us chase the document satchel in the storm in Nordlys. I can't even tell you whose idea that was, but it was a great moment.
How much do multiplayer considerations (including environment reuse, weapon balancing, etc) affect the singleplayer design of a Battlefield campaign? As the game's multiplayer portion updates over time, are there dependent factors in the singleplayer portion that require adjustment as well?
Eric: Oh, so very much. You'll notice the health system is different to multiplayer. In MP this relies on health packs from allies. But in the War Stories there aren't always friends nearby. The philosophy behind this is key—multiplayer is about fairness and balance. But singleplayer is usually about a dominant player, since a K:D of 1:1 vs AI just isn't very fun. Thankfully the weapon feel in BF5 is a real strength. Those are pretty much 1:1, although the damage vs AI makes them more deadly than in MP.
Replayability is embedded into the campaign of Battlefield 5, from standard collectible items to bespoke challenges that require players to approach the same level in different ways to unlock unique rewards. What wider design goals does this serve?
Eric: There are many types of players out there. Some don't give two hoots about collectibles. But there are explorers and completionists who must go everywhere and get everything. The collectibles are principally for them. The payoff is somewhat simple—our letters—but we hoped they would give a little more life and depth to our world. Nothing revolutionary there.
To also occasionally pair up the collectible with a uniquely placed tool allows players of all types to find new ways of approaching the encounter at hand, thus broadening the attraction to go looking for these collectibles.
The challenges are about more than just replay value. They build player familiarity with the weapons and vehicles of the core game. Our hope was players who engage with them find themselves building skill for that inevitable confrontation in multiplayer.
The writing in the campaigns, from the Guy Ritchie-esque comedy in Under No Flag to Tirailleur's retrospective structure, seems particularly sharp this time around. How did your teams approach the writing for Battlefield 5? Did you make any major changes compared to Battlefield 1? I imagine capturing concepts traditionally associated with World War II, like heroism or brotherhood, is difficult without straying into what have become cliches.
Eric: Thanks for the kind words! I will pass them on to Steven Hall, our lead writer on both this game and Battlefield 1. Steven is the real hero here—he was the guide through the emotional journey and often dangerous ground.
One guideline we started in BF1 was to "let the era speak". I think that led to a lot of interesting choices as to what and how to depict certain things. For example, I think we at DICE are all very proud of what the prologue invoked. The Second World War is a different beast from the first. Faster. Broader. Bigger. More dynamic. That informed our prologue for Battlefield 2, for example. But the Second World War also has a special type of darkness that is unique to that setting. And we knew we had to confront and acknowledge that somehow.
Another differentiator was new additions to the cinematic team, for example, our director Pelle Hallert. Our cinematic directors on BF1 were Markus Kryler and Fredrik Akerstrom—a phenomenal double-team. But for this title, they were already booked on another project. So we looked far and wide to find someone who could match them, but not imitate them. After an exhaustive search, we found we had the chance to work with Pelle. His style is his own, and I think that helped to differentiate the two just by his eye and hand being his own. He has an extensive history in TV—check out Jordskott—for which I believe he was the director of photography.
Meanwhile, in gameplay, we have Justin Langley working across each story providing a barrage of VO for countless events to bring our story into gameplay. Justin is a pro that knows game VO like nobody else—check out his game credits on Mobygames (opens in new tab). He and his team pore over the game to squeeze in story anywhere they can.
There are so many contributors to the final result that I wish I could name them all. Collaborating from the structure, writing for gameplay and scenes and placing each event is a real team effort driven by a group of passionate, talented professionals.
Steven Hall, lead writer, Battlefield 5: WWII is a very familiar war, compared to WWI, so we were very aware from day one that whatever we did needed to work a little harder to find an identity of its own. From a writing perspective, I tried to vary the tone and narrative structure of these War Stories more than those in BF1, to give each one a distinct voice and identity. And much like he did in BF1, Eric brought a whole armful of WWII conflicts, battles, and events to the table that I hadn't even been aware of. So between us, we started to find some interesting things. It's a team effort as always, so many people brought interesting ideas and scenarios and suggestions. Sitting down as a team, it took us quite a while to settle on a final four!
The subject matter tackled by the Battlefield 5 campaigns tends to be nuanced, heavy material. Tirailleur discusses the erasure of people of colour, Nordlys showcases a struggle between duty and love in a maternal relationship, The Last Tiger stars a crew of Nazis, and so on. However, the length of this mode is shorter than ever—even considering the length of individual campaigns in Battlefield 1. How did your team approach fitting this complex material into an extremely tight timeframe, and in your opinion, did you succeed?
Eric: It's not really for me to say if we succeeded—that's up to each player of the game. I certainly hope they enjoy each of them. But like BF1 I suspect everyone will have a favourite that speaks to them the most.
Battlefield 5 brings the series back to World War II, but particularly in its singleplayer portion, is set in areas of the conflict that aren't typically shown in popular media. Was this a calculated risk? What did the team gain (and lose) by not being able to return to old standbys like the Normandy landing?
Eric: We decided from the outset that to go to WWII we had to bring something new to the mix. I believe that was part of the reason Battlefield 1 drew players in. But there is an enormous amount of media about WWII, so our challenge was to move beyond what you have already seen and make it fresh again. Hopefully, we have surprised players with our choices.
What criticisms of the singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 5 have your team taken onboard as useful feedback going forward? Will we see more significant additions to the singleplayer portion in the future, like the ultimate release of The Last Tiger with the Overture update?
Eric: We absolutely listen to players about what they enjoy most or what they struggle with. From YouTube playthroughs, through Twitter threads to in-depth forum essays. DICE listens and engages. It's always great that people say they want more. That's better than people saying they've had enough. As for future plans, I can't announce anything here. But I am glad to hear you're interested.
Considering public reactions to the campaign of Battlefield 5, do you believe that a dedicated singleplayer mode of this scale is still a key portion of a Battlefield product?
Lars Gustavsson, creative director, Battlefield 5: It's too early to talk about the future here but the positive reactions we have gotten for our War Stories, and the way they help us frame the historical era at hand, they are certainly a strong part of the full Battlefield 5 offering. We have a diverse audience of different player types and this is where the narrative experiences can shine through and fulfill the needs of all those who want additional dimensions to the world that they experience, be it in singleplayer or modes with more players.

Q: Weird scanf issue in C Let's say that I use scanf to, for example, read a character from the keyboard. After that I use printf to print the character I just read.
scanf("%c",&ch);
printf("%c",ch);

When scanf is reading the character, I must press enter to continue and run the printf, right?
And let's say I enter ABCD with the keyboard. After that printf will print A.
But when I do this:
do {
   scanf("%c",&ch);
   printf("%c",ch);
} while (ch!='\n');

and enter ABCD with the keyboard, I assume that the printf must print A. And because A is not \n it will continue the loop, right?
But instead of this it will print ABCD. Why does this happen?

A: When you type in "ABCD\n", each scanf("%c",&ch); reads one char from the input buffer, until the newline is reached.
So after the 'A' is printed, there is still a "BCD\n" in the buffer, so that the next scanf immediately succeeds reading another char, 'B' in the next iteration of the loop.

A:
in scanf i must press enter to continue and run the printf right?

Nope. As long as there is a character to be read, it will be read.

i put in scanf ABCD after that printf will print A ...

If you input ABCD and enter, the input will now contain five characters. A, B, C, D and a newline. Your cycle will read the characters A, B, C, D in sequence and then read the newline.

A: scanf does not wait for you to press enter, it simple tries to read in what you typed if it matched your format string. If you had used %s, then it would wait until a whitespace character before matching.
This thread may also be useful: why does scanf not wait for user input after it fails one time?

Q: Only keep paired rows in dataframe From my data frame I want to keep only rows that contain a paired samples as indicated by P1 and PN1, P2 and PN2 etc. The pairs always occur as P and PN following identical numbers. In my examples P3 and P4 does not have paired samples.
      value Sample
P1    0.0000     P1
PN1   0.0000    PN1
P2    0.0000     P2
PN2   0.0000    PN2
P3    0.0000     P3
P4  384.9141     P4

out
      value Sample
P1    0.0000     P1
PN1   0.0000    PN1
P2    0.0000     P2
PN2   0.0000    PN2

A: Here is a tidyverse solution:
I assume that paired entries always have Sample names like (P1, PN1), (P2, PN2), and so on.
library(tidyverse);
df %>%
    mutate(id = sub("N", "", Sample)) %>%
    group_by(id) %>%
    mutate(n = n()) %>%
    filter(n == 2) %>%
    ungroup() %>%
    select(-id, -n)
## A tibble: 4 x 2
#  value Sample
#  <dbl> <fct>
#1    0. P1
#2    0. PN1
#3    0. P2
#4    0. PN2

Explanation: Create new column id from Sample where we have substituted PN1 with P1 and so on; group by id, count the number of rows per group, and only keep those entries with 2 rows per group.

Sample data
df <- read.table(text =
    "      value Sample
P1    0.0000     P1
PN1   0.0000    PN1
P2    0.0000     P2
PN2   0.0000    PN2
P3    0.0000     P3
P4  384.9141     P4", header = T, row.names = 1)

A: Here's a fast base R solution
df[(pmax(duplicated(gsub(".*(\\d+)$", "\\1", df$Sample)), duplicated(gsub(".*(\\d+)$", "\\1", df$Sample), fromLast=TRUE))==1), ]

  # value Sample
# 1     0     P1
# 2     0    PN1
# 3     0     P2
# 4     0    PN2

Data
structure(list(value = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 384.9141), Sample = structure(c(1L,
5L, 2L, 6L, 3L, 4L), .Label = c("P1", "P2", "P3", "P4", "PN1",
"PN2"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("value", "Sample"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-6L))

A: This doesn't exactly answer the question as stated, but it seems like your data may be better stored in "wide" format. After converting to a wide df, you can jus use complete.cases to remove rows where both cases P and PN are not present.
library(tidyverse)
df %>%
  mutate(N = ifelse(grepl('N', Sample), 'PN', 'P'),
         Sample = gsub('P|PN', '', Sample)) %>%
  spread(N, value) %>%
  filter(complete.cases(.))

#   Sample P PN
# 1      1 0  0
# 2      2 0  0

Will Treating My Varicose Veins Cure My Restless Legs Syndrome?
Written By Center for Vein Restoration
If RLS is keeping you up at night, it could be due to varicose veins.
If you suffer from both restless leg syndrome (RLS) and varicose veins, you're not alone; several scientific studies have documented a link between the two conditions. A 2007 paper published in the journal Phlebology which analyzed patients with RLS found that a majority also had chronic venous disorders (CVD), concluding, "RLS appears to be a common overlapping clinical syndrome in patients with CVD."
Because the two conditions are so closely connected, it's natural to wonder whether it's possible to kill two birds with one stone by treating both with one procedure. However, knowing whether that's possible requires knowing the underlying cause of your RLS.
What is RLS?
Affecting roughly 10% of people in the US, RLS is characterized by involuntary leg twitches when a person rests. Moving the limbs provides some measure of comfort; however, the constant jolts leaves sufferers sleep deprived and exhausted. The syndrome strikes more women than men.
The probable underlying causes of RLS range from iron deficiency and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease to diabetes and kidney failure. Certain drugs, including antidepressants, antihistamines, and anti-nausea medications, may also contribute to RLS. Heredity plays a role, too, as researchers have found the disorder runs in families.
Depending upon the diagnosis, RLS may be treated with anticonvulsants or dopamine-regulating drugs similar to the ones used for Parkinson's disease. The Food & Drug Administration has approved a number of therapeutic agents for moderate to severe RLS.
RLS sufferers may also find relief with at-home remedies such as taking hot baths, applying ice and heat on the limbs, and increasing iron intake. Reducing alcohol and caffeine consumption also eases RLS symptoms. However, in the case that RLS does stem from venous insufficiency, then that condition must be addressed.
The Similarities Between RLS and Varicose Veins
The symptoms of RLS and varicose veins, as the 2008 study noted, overlap. People with varicose veins due to malfunctioning valves also have legs that itch, throb, swell, and feel heavy at times — all of which, like RLS, can disrupt sleep. Yet because the bulging blue lines of varicose veins or spider veins may not surface to the upper layer of skin, people may not see the visible evidence of varicose veins. Therefore, they may not make the connection between venous insufficiency and RLS.
To find the source of RLS in a patient, a doctor will take a complete medical history, do a blood test, review current health status and medications, and order other diagnostic assessments. Finally, an ultrasound exam performed by a vein specialist can uncover any hidden varicose veins.
Will Varicose Vein Treatments Cure RLS?
Medical researchers have reviewed whether varicose vein treatment can manage RLS. A 1995 study found that sclerotherapy — a procedure that injects a sclerosant into the vein to collapse the damaged vein — eliminated the discomfort of RLS in 98% of patients.
A study also published in Phlebology in 2008 mirrored those results. After undergoing laser and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, more than 90% of RLS patients with underlying venous insufficiency reported significant improvement in RLS symptoms.
Although these studies indicate varicose vein therapy stands a high chance of alleviating RLS symptoms, successful treatment depends on whether venous insufficiency is the true cause of the syndrome. To pinpoint the root of RLS, patients require a comprehensive medical checkup from a physician and a vein specialist.
You can consult with one of the vein specialists at the Center for Vein Restoration to identify if varicose veins are causing your RLS. We have extensive knowledge of venous disorders and an array of diagnostic options to find if varicose vein treatment will make you sleep better.

That station was torn down, and a new one was built on the same lot. At the new station things kept occurring.
Doors would open and close. There is an eerie feeling in the hall like someone was right behind you and occasionally the tissue paper would come unrolled in one bathroom which was something that happened at the old station as well.

It is a holiday that commemorates Dr. King's life and work. He led a movement for racial justice and equality and embraced nonviolent action as a powerful revolutionary force for social change. He employed Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence as the means to confront racist laws and discrimination in America.

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is fear. ~ Gandhi I remember waiting on the platform of the underground in London when the station was flooded with skinheads. I felt fear and did my best to be as unobtrusive as possible. I know not all skinheads are fascist neo-Nazi's, but I was afraid. I was no longer with people on the platform. I was with an "other" that scared me. As I watched the news of the violence in Charlottesville, and heard about more upcoming white supremacist marches across the United States, I felt disturbed and sad....

Last Summer, there was a particular sit-down protest, down the road from the Rossport solidarity camp. Someone had spotted two Shell vehicles and had led them, at a snail's pace, to the area where the protest took place.
A group of people sat on the road, in front of the first Shell vehicle. Others directed all cars that arrived, around the protest and they continued on their merry ways. This facilitation ended with the arrival of the gardaí and the gardaí didn't resume it.
Eventually there were to be four gardaí on the scene.
Despite the Corrib Gas dispute being the single largest source of Garda complaints that GSOC have had to deal with, no Garda has ever been held to account for their law-breaking and abuse of powers.

What is Zika virus?
Zika virus is spread to people through mosquito bites. The most common symptoms of Zika virus are
fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes).
How does Zika virus spread?
Zika virus is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. The mosquitoes typically lay eggs in and near standing water in things like buckets, bowls, animal dishes, flower pots, and vases. They are aggressive daytime biters, prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors near people. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites. A mother already infected with Zika virus near the time of delivery can pass on the virus to her newborn around the time of birth. It is possible that Zika virus could be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy.
Zika is an emerging virus.
As of January 2016, there were no reports of infants getting Zika virus through breastfeeding. Because of the benefits of breastfeeding, mothers are encouraged to breastfeed even in areas where Zika virus is found. As of January 2016, there was one report of possible spread of Zika virus through blood transfusion and one report of possible spread through sexual contact.
What are the symptoms of Zika virus?
About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika). The most common symptoms of Zika virus are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. Deaths are rare. See your healthcare provider if you develop the symptoms and have visited an area where Zika virus is present. If you have recently traveled, tell your healthcare provider when and where.

San Diego School Board Member Outlines Teacher Paycut Proposal
By Kyla Calvert / Education Reporter, Associated Press
A school trustee wants to slash employee pay under a plan to save the district from insolvency.
San Diego city schools are facing a budget shortfall of more than $100 million next year. Schools Trustee Scott Barnett released the details of a plan to save the district millions Tuesday.
The plan detailed by Scott Barnett calls for across-the-board paycuts on a sliding scale. The scale would include a 5.75-percent cut for most teachers and a 12.75-percent cut for top administrators, after currently scheduled raises are figured in.
Full-time employees, from clerks to custodians, also would be affected. Those earning $40,000 or less would take a 4-percent cut from what their salaries would be once five furlough days were restored. Those earning more than $160,000 would see their post-furlough salaries go down 15 percent.
Barnett first released a plan to cut the district budget at the end of October. It included a 10 percent salary cut for district employees earning more than $25,000 a year, and a requirement that they pay contributions for anything more than the district's basic health coverage.
Barnett said he thinks staff will be more supportive of his proposal now that the details are spelled out.
"A lot of people said 'Hey, I'm concerned about this' – for good reason," he said. "Ten percent is going to hurt. So what we wanted to do is to say – 'OK, you can now look at this chart and under this proposal, if you know that if you earn within this range that that will actually be your net cut.'"
The plan would also restore five furlough days to the school year and include some scheduled raises that would go into effect before these new cuts were made.
Barnett said the plan would save the district $70 million a year for three years, while avoiding layoffs or class size increases.
Other board members, the superintendent and district employee union leaders have said the trustees should wait to see whether the state makes mid-year budget cuts before making any cuts. Barnett said waiting isn't realistic.
"The superintendent's proposal to deal with even the best case scenario includes selling land, it includes keeping the school year at 175 days instead of 180," he said. "It includes potential for significant – hundreds – of layoffs. We can't afford to wait."
He'll present the proposal to the Board of Education Nov. 29. He would have to get the support of at least two other board members, and it isn't clear he will.
There are several other hurdles to Barnett's plan going into effect. First, the district would have to open contract negotiations with the five employee unions. Four of those unions refused to do so last year. Second, his plan also calls for a parcel tax increase on the 2012 ballot that would restore the proposed salary cuts, but San Diego voters rejected a parcel tax for schools just last year.

UK well off track to meet 2030s carbon-cutting goals, official figures project
© Supplied by System
Flaring at Mossmorran.
The UK is currently on track to miss its legal climate targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the mid 2030s by a huge margin, Government figures show.
Data from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Beis) show that with existing and near-fully planned policies, the UK is projected to emit nearly double the amount of pollution as it should do under its 2030s goals.
As part of the UK's target to cut its pollution by 100% – known as net zero – which became law in 2019, it has a series of five-year budgets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
They include a commitment to cut emissions by 58% on 1990 levels in 2028-2032 in the fifth carbon budget and by 77% by 2033-2037 in the sixth carbon budget.
But the figures from Beis, released amid last week's political chaos, show the targets for the fifth carbon budget will be missed by 73 million tonnes of greenhouse gases, a 56% reduction on 1990 levels.
Over the five years of the sixth carbon budget, the UK is projected to emit 1,941 million tonnes of greenhouse gases, overshooting its target by 976 million tonnes and only achieving a 54% reduction on 1990 levels.
Emissions are set to increase slightly from the fifth to sixth carbon budget as the UK's contribution to international shipping and aviation are included for the first time.
The figures include policies that have been implemented or where funding was agreed and the programme was nearly finalised by January 2022, or July 2022 for power sector schemes.
They include schemes to make public buildings, private homes and social housing more energy-efficient and install clean heating systems, phase out coal and support renewables, and faster uptake of electric vehicles.
The assessment does not include policies which have not been fully developed.
The figures are in contrast with the Government's claim that its flagship net zero strategy – published ahead of the UN Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow last year – would deliver its legally required carbon cuts.
A spreadsheet which officials said detailed the projected emissions reductions from the policies in the net zero strategy was not made public, despite Freedom of Information requests, raising concerns it was not "credible".
The independent advisory Climate Change Committee warned in the summer that there were significant gaps in the Government's efforts to deliver on the net zero goal, and a High Court case found the strategy did not meet legal obligations to show how the legally binding targets would be met.
In the light of the new data, senior climate lawyer for environmental law charity Sam Hunter Jones said: "These latest figures show that the UK is currently not even halfway on track to meeting its climate targets in the 2030s and being net zero by 2050.
"Policies to bring down future emissions can take years, sometimes decades, to implement. So there is absolutely no time to lose.
"The good news is that there are things the Government can do right now that will also reduce energy bills for struggling households.
"Home insulation, low-carbon heating and more renewables will have an immediate impact to bring down energy bills and emissions."
He added: "The cost of current chaos in Westminster is inaction, and it couldn't come at a worse time for our rapidly heating planet."

Ohakune is an attractive little ski town on the southern slopes of Mount Ruapehu, at the foot of the road leading to the Turoa Ski Resort. It's far, far busier in the winter, when most skiers and snowboarders tend to congregate in the lodges, bars and restaurants at the northern end of town, called the Junction. However, the main commercial strip in the southern part has some nice restaurants, bars, and shops as well, and there's more atmosphere than in National Park Village, which is 20 minutes away.
In the summer, the town can get very quiet and most hostel facilities are kind of barebones. There seems to be little incentive for hostels to court traditional backpacker crowds, as they get most of their business in the ski season.
In addition to skiing, Ohakune is widely known as the carrot capital of New Zealand, and the giant carrot sculpture in town makes a kitschy photo-op.


Providing maintenance and services for a fast-growing city is proving difficult this year, as Pearland leaders work to balance revenues with expenses for the coming year.
There is good news this year, he said.
With the city's debt service estimated to decrease because of refinancing and an increase in tax base, the city's operating and maintenance tax could be increased and would still produce a total tax rate below the current year's rate.
"We could lower the overall rate, and we could still increase the operating rate by 2 cents, for instance, which would provide additional resources," Pearson said.
The council met Saturday morning in the first of a series of budget workshops addressing the coming year's city budget.
The city must adopt its tax rate and budget by the last meeting of September; the city's fiscal year begins on Oct. 1.
The proposed budget includes a 4 percent projected growth in sales tax, which is budgeted at $20.5 million in 2016-17 – 28 percent of total revenues. Total revenues are estimated at $72.2 million, with expenditures at $74.9 million.
The fund balance, he added, is at the minimum requirements, which is particularly concerning.
Future budget discussions are set for Aug. 15, Aug. 22, Aug. 29 and Sept. 6.
A first reading to adopt the budget and tax rate is set Sept. 12, with a final reading on Sept. 19.

Lawyers step in over Malietoa title dispute
By Joyetter Feagaimaali'i-Luamanu • 21 October 2017, 12:00AM
The Masiofo, Her Highness Fa'amausili Leinafo Tuimaleali'ifano, has been identified as the recipient of a petition allegedly leakedin the ongoing dispute to find a new holder of the Malietoa title.
But she has declined to comment, referring queries from the Sunday Samoan to her lawyer, Fepulea'i Patrick Fepulea'i.
"As counsel for any client, one of my cardinal rules is I do not discuss or comment in public on any client matters," Fepulea'i wrote in response to questions from the Sunday Samoan.
"This is also a sensitive matter may end up in Court and I do not want to further make matters worse than it is."
Three weeks ago, one group from the Malietoa family made up of Papali'i Titiuatoa Malietoa, Papali'i Ioane Malietoa and Papali'i Malietau Malietoa called on the President of the Land and Titles Court, Fepulea'i Ropati Atilla, to investigate the matter.
The group strongly opposes the decision reached by three sides of the family, Malietoa Gatuitasina, Malietoa Talavou and Malietoa Moli for Fa'amausili Moli to become the next holder of the Malietoa title. The agreement reached in Sapapali'i was immediately put into writing and filed with the Court.
This led to the petition in question from the complainants.Papali'i Titiuatoa Malietoa, Papali'iIoaneMalietoa and Papali'i Malietau Malietoa claimed that their petition had ended up with Her Highness Fa'amausili and her group before it had even been publicised in the Savali.
"It is our opinion that the law is specific on this matter that any petition to the Court is not legal until it has been published in the Savali newspaper," a letter from the complainants reads.
"Therefore it cannot be released to the public before that time. We understand from the Savali Office that the September issue of the Savali relating to matters of the Lands and Titles Court will not be published until late October 2017."
"We are extremely disappointed and concerned by this unprofessional behavior by someone in the Court" and the more unbecoming behavior of the person whom the document was leaked to.
The group had sought full disclosure and had threatenedcivil Court action against the person who received the information.
But a letter obtained by the Sunday Samoan dated 2 October 2017 shows that Her Highness Fa'amausili strongly rejected the claim from the other party.
The letter is from her lawyer Fepulea'ito the lawyer representing the complainants, Unasa Iuni Sapolu.
Fepulea'i pointed out that "all proceedings in the Lands and Titles Court are commenced on the filing of a petition."
"Upon filing, the petition becomes a public document."
Fepulea'i said access to the document "it is not dependent on being advertised in the Savali before it becomes a public document."
"In relation to the matter you raised, we do not accept the legality of your representation."
"Would you kindly point out where in the Lands and Titles Act of 1981 or other related legislation does it refer that a petition filed only becomes public document or a public record after it has been published in the Savali?"
Fepulea'i's letter further pointed out that "the meeting held on September 21, 2017, was called by her (Masiofo) as the Sa'o for the Fa'amausili family."
"One of your clients, Papali'i Ioane was present with his mother."
"There were four matters discussed at the family meeting. The first three matters were related to their family and the fourth matter related to the current case in the Lands and Titles Court relating to the Malietoa title.
"As heirs of Malietoa Moli, they were entitled to discuss that matter."
When the dispute over the petition surfaced, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Justice and Courts Administration (M.J.C.A.), Papali'i John Taimalelagi, denied the assertion that the document had been illegally leaked.
"I am responding in my capacity as the C.E.O. specifically targeting the Petition Process, nothing more," he said.
"This is the process. Once a petition is filed and signed, then the parties, swear an oath in front of the Deputy Registrar or Registrar."
"Once the fee is paid, it becomes a legal document of the Court."
"Then the matter is handled by the Mediation and Registrations Division. They schedule a date for mediation for all the parties and at the same time, the petition is passed over, to the Lands and Titles court."
"It's from there summons letters are issued to the other parties or respondents. The summons letters inform them of the petition and a copy of the petition will be attached with the summons letters."
"Also in the summons letters, are basic instructions of when the matter is scheduled to be held at the Court. At the same time, the petition is being prepared to be sent over to the 'Savali' for publication."
"The petitions are not confidential documents. The petitions are given to the respondents or interested parties as they are entitled to have copies."
"The statute requires that the petitions are given to all parties of the petition and as well, it's a must to be advertised in the 'Savali'."

Anas is one of 1.75 million boys and girls that dropped out of school to support their families, millions of young Syrians lost their youth and years of education.
Anas, originally from rural Aleppo, was displaced 6 years ago when fighting broke out in his village. He and his family moved from Deir-ez-Zor then settled in Rural Damascus, draining the family's little savings. In Jaramana, Rural Damascus, Anas, being the eldest in his family, he found himself as the sole breadwinner.
He worked long hours in a plastic factory to support his family, "I worked the night shift, from 7 pm to 7 am and I was always tired". Through the hardship, Anas kept dreaming to one day continue his education and become a carpenter. "I love the craft of carpentry; designing and producing furniture," said Anas.
