Thousands of migrants surge into Slovenia with new route as Hungary seals border

Reporting From Petisovci, Slovenia —
Thousands of migrants surged into tiny Slovenia on Saturday as an alternative route opened in Europe after Hungary sealed its border to their free flow, adding another hurdle in the frantic flight from wars and poverty toward what they hope is a better life in Western Europe.
The closure of Hungary's border with Croatia early Saturday caused redirection of thousands of people — including women and small children soaked in cold rain — farther west toward Croatia's border with Slovenia.
The small European Union-member state has limited capacity to process large numbers wishing to head toward richer European Union countries such as Germany, Austria or Sweden.

This could leave thousands stranded in Croatia and farther east and south in Serbia and Macedonia — the countries on the so-called Balkan migrant corridor. The Hungarian border closure is the latest demonstration of the EU's uncoordinated response to the flow of people reaching its borders.
Several buses packed with migrants arrived in the Slovenian border town of Petisovci on Saturday from Croatia. A train carrying 1,800 people arrived at the border in the afternoon. Police said that after processing, most will be are transferred toward the Austrian border.
The U.N. refugee agency said Slovenia has the capacity to accept up to 7,000 migrants a day. Slovenian officials said, however, that they can permit up to 2,500 people a day and will allow in new groups only after previous groups leave the country.
Croatian police said more than 5,000 migrants have entered the country since Hungary closed its border, illustrating a possible backlog of those whom Slovenia would not admit.
UNHCR spokeswoman Caroline Van Buren said at Slovenia's border with Croatia on Saturday that "all is going well," as the first groups of migrants started arriving in the small Alpine nation.
"We have been in cold since 2 in the morning in Serbia," said Omar Thaqfa, 33, from Mosul in Iraq. "We were sitting in the street. Very cold. Inshallah, I am going to Germany."
Slovenia, a country of 2 million people, has said it would beef up border controls and create entry points for migrants to manage the influx but would keep accepting migrants as long as Austria and Germany kept their borders open. Croatia has said it will close its border with Serbia if Slovenia does the same with Croatia.
Migrants had been coming through Croatia to get to Hungary and then farther west. But Hungary blocked that route after midnight when police pulled a barbed-wire fence over a passage on the border with Croatia, where about 140,000 migrants have passed since mid-September.
Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said Hungary's decision won't stop the flow of hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Middle East, Asia and Africa who have been surging into Europe.
"Nobody can stop this flow without shooting," Ostojic said, adding that further closure of frontiers for migrants would cause "a domino effect and lots of troubles for all countries" that are on the migrant route.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced the decision to close the border after a meeting of the national security Cabinet on Friday.
Hungary decided to order the border clampdown after EU leaders who met Thursday in Brussels failed to agree on a plan backed by Hungary to send EU forces to block migrants from reaching Greece.
Szijjarto said in a statement Saturday that the government was defending Hungary and its citizens from the "mass wave of unidentified, uncontrolled migrants."
He has said normal border checkpoints with Croatia would remain open, though inspections will be tightened.
Although Croatia is also a member of the European Union, unlike Hungary, it is not part of the Schengen zone of passport-free travel. Slovenia is in the Schengen zone.
Over 383,000 migrants have entered Hungary this year, nearly all passing through on their way to Germany and other destinations farther west in the EU. The country clamped down on its border with Serbia with a similar razor wire fence on Sept. 15, and since then, migrants have been taking a detour through Croatia to reach Hungary.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Saturday's edition of the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Germany can control its borders but not close them completely — "that wouldn't even succeed with a fence, as the example of Hungary shows."
Thousands of new arrivals a day have stretched Germany's capacity to house refugees and other migrants. But Merkel said she won't promise "false solutions" because they wouldn't hold, even for two weeks, and would create bigger disappointments that the problem hasn't been resolved.
"I am working with all my power for sustainable solutions, and they don't depend on us Germans alone and will take time," she said.
Turkey's state-run news agency said 12 migrants drowned after their boat sank off the Turkish coast in the Aegean sea. The Anadolu Agency said the Turkish coast guard rescued 25 other migrants from the sea.
Greece's coast guard said four children drowned when a boat carrying migrants sank off the small island of Kalolimnos.
The group was trying to reach the island the Greek island of Lesbos — an entry point for a majority of migrants making the journey from the nearby Turkish coast.

If you're ready to eliminate your toenail fungus, contact our office and learn more about the new PinPointe FootLaser. We can evaluate your fungal infection and make recommendations for best treating and eradicating your toenail fungus once and for all.


History[ edit ] Black feminism has been around since the time of slavery. If defined as a way that black women have sought to understand their positionality within systems of oppression then this is exemplified in Sojourner Truth's famous speech, "Ain't I a Woman? Truth addressed how the issues being discussed at the convention were issues that primarily impacted white women. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, set in motion the principles that would become the basis for black feminism. Suffrage was early evidence of schisms between white and black feminism. According to Harper, white women needed suffrage for education; however, "black women need the vote, not as a form of education, but as a form of protection".
Media[ edit ] The history of various visual media has typically begun with black and white, and as technology improved, altered to color. However, there are exceptions to this rule, including black-and-white fine art photography and in motion pictures , many art films. Motion pictures[ edit ] Most early forms of motion pictures or film were black and white. Some color film processes, including hand coloring were experimented with, and in limited use, from the earliest days of motion pictures. The switch from most films being in black-and-white to most being in color was gradual, taking place from the s to the s. Even when most film studios had the capability to make color films, the technology's popularity was limited, as using the Technicolor process was expensive and cumbersome.

A tribute to Samuel Paty, the beheaded teacher in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine last Friday, will be paid in Occitania this Wednesday. Carole Delga, the president of the Region, has decided to project on the facades of the two Regional Hotels, in Toulouse and Montpellier, the cartoons of Charlie Hebdo between 5 pm and 9 pm. "A strong act which joins the decision of Regions of France to publish, with the National Education, a work gathering the religious and political cartoons of the regional and national press", explains the President of the Region through a press release.
This screening takes place on the day when the national tribute to Samuel Paty is scheduled at the Sorbonne in Paris. "Beyond this symbolic action, it is my desire to express a message to our fellow citizens: in our Republic, there can be no arrangement with secularism, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience which are at the heart of our republican model. There must be no weakness in the face of the enemies of democracy, in the face of those who deviate from religion to transform it into a weapon of war, in the face of those who spawn, by calculation or renunciation, with those who have the political objective of destroying the Republic," Carole Delga added.

France deports Bosnians who shaved daughter's hair over love affair
The ministry said five members of the girl's family in the eastern city of Besancon had been deported to Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Saturday morning.
"This expulsion from the national territory is the consequence of unacceptable behaviour on the part of the family in August, notably beatings and the shaving of an adolescent girl who was in love with a young Serbian man of another religion," the ministry said.
It added that the girl, a minor, will be taken care of by social services and will obtain the right of residence in France when she reaches majority.
French media reported in August that a 17-year old Bosnian Muslim woman in Besancon had been beaten by her family and her hair had been forcefully shaved off because she wanted to marry a 20-year old Serbian Christian.
Bosnian and Serb forces fought a war in the 1990s that resulted in thousands of civilian deaths.
https://es.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2790JS
Lacks context, and there's not that much on the Internet.
The parents were arrested on October 23, after a court in Besancon convicted them of violence against a minor.
They were also barred from entering France for five years. An aunt and an uncle of the victim were also sentenced to prison terms.
The family had arrived from Bosnia-Herzegovina two years ago.

Nice church attacker identified as 21-year-old Tunisian man
Brahim Aouissaoui, who killed three people, reportedly arrived in France in early October
The man who killed three people in a knife attack in a church in Nice on France's Côte D'Azur on Thursday has been named as Brahim Aouissaoui, a 21-year-old Tunisian migrant.
Aouissaoui arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa in late September, when authorities placed him in coronavirus quarantine before releasing him with an order to leave Italian territory. He arrived in France in early October, sources close to the investigation told the AFP news agency.
French authorities say Aouissaoui had no identity papers on him when police shot and wounded him after the attack, but was carrying a document giving his name from the Italian Red Cross. He had not made any demand for political asylum in France.
Prosecutors in Sicily have confirmed to the Guardian that Aouissaoui arrived in Lampedusa on 20 September, then spent 14 days on a quarantine boat before being transferred to Bari on the mainland on 9 October.
The high number of arrivals from Tunisia means repatriation procedures from Italy are often delayed. Instead, Tunisians are frequently given an "exit slip", requiring them to leave Italy within seven days. Aouissaoui had received such an order but, like many, travelled illegally to France.

France bans Turkish ultra-nationalists: Who are the 'Grey Wolves'?
Group active in European countries with significant Turkish population, such as Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and France
ANKARA: In a move that is likely to increase tension between Ankara and Paris, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced on Monday that France will ban the Turkish ultra-nationalist group the Grey Wolves.
The group is linked to the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), a political ally of the ruling government in Turkey.
During the recent conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, where France and Turkey backed opposing sides, the group became notorious for organizing "Hunt for Armenians" marches in France and for vandalizing the Armenian Genocide memorial outside Lyon with their own slogans and references to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
During the march, the group members threatened Armenians with slogans such as "We are going to kill them." Four people were injured in Lyon last Wednesday during clashes between Turkish nationalists and Armenians who were protesting against Azerbaijan's military moves.
The Grey Wolves was established in the 1960s in Turkey by MHP as a militant wing and was responsible for triggering chaos in the streets in 1970s and 1980s when its members fought leftists and were responsible for many assassinations.
Samim Akgonul, a political scientist at Strasbourg University in France, said the Grey Wolves are not the most visible Turkish organization in France but they have been active from time to time, especially during crises related to the Armenian issue, such as the French memorial laws recognizing the Armenian genocide.
"Historically the supporters of the Turkish far right MHP party are organized autonomously in Europe, separate from Turkey's official bodies such as the Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), the European division of Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs," he told Arab News.

Lyon shooting: Suspect admits attacking priest 'over affair'
A suspect has admitted to the shooting of a Greek Orthodox priest in the French city of Lyon last week over a personal dispute, prosecutors have said.
The 40-year-old suspect told prosecutors the priest was having an affair with his wife.
The priest, Nikolaos Kakavelakis, 52, was shot twice with a sawn-off shotgun outside his church on 31 October.
He spoke to police after coming out of a coma on Wednesday.
The suspect, who is said to be of Georgian nationality, was arrested at his home in Lyon on Friday, French newspaper Le Parisien reported.
The suspect told prosecutors he had not intended to kill the priest, who was romantically involved with his wife, a 35-year-old Russian, the newspaper said.

Journalists, human rights groups protest new French security bill banning images of police
French lawmakers on Tuesday began debating a bill that could ban dissemination of images of police officers' faces, triggering protests in Paris and other French cities against the potential loss of a check against abuses of power.
France's security forces have long faced accusations of using brutal tactics when dealing with protesters, but also when confronting or arresting individuals, in particular from black or Arab minorities.
And now, Macron's centrist government has proposed a new "comprehensive security" law that would institute reforms such as giving more autonomy to local police -- and potentially arming more of them -- and expanding the use of surveillance drones in high-crime areas.
Under the law, which would apply to civilians and journalists alike, it would be a crime to show images of an officer's face unless it has been blurred. Publication on social media or elsewhere with the intent of undermining an officer's "physical or psychological integrity" could be punished by a year in prison or fines of up to 45,000 euros ($53,000).
Journalists and rights groups oppose the measure and took to the streets as lawmakers began their debate, joined by Yellow Vest protesters and victims of police violence. Demonstrations took place in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Grenoble, Marseille and in other French cities.
France's human rights auditor has also warned of "considerable risks" from the new law.
"The publication of images regarding police interventions are legitimate and necessary for a democracy to function," said the auditor.

France's Macron issues 'republican values' ultimatum to Muslim leaders
French President Emmanuel Macron has asked Muslim leaders to accept a "charter of republican values" as part of a broad clampdown on radical Islam.
On Wednesday he gave the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) a 15-day ultimatum to accept the charter.
The CFCM has agreed to create a National Council of Imams, which will reportedly issue imams with official accreditation which could be withdrawn.
It follows three suspected Islamist attacks in little more than a month.
The charter will state that Islam is a religion and not a political movement, while also prohibiting "foreign interference" in Muslim groups.
Mr Macron has strongly defended French secularism in the wake of the attacks, which included the beheading of a teacher who showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a class discussion last month.
Late on Wednesday, the president and his interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, met eight CFCM leaders at the Élysée palace.
"Two principles will be inscribed in black and white [in the charter]: the rejection of political Islam and any foreign interference," one source told the Le Parisien newspaper after the meeting.
The formation of the National Council of Imams was also agreed upon.
President Macron has also announced new measures to tackle what he called "Islamist separatism" in France.
The measures include a wide-ranging bill that seeks to prevent radicalisation. It was unveiled on Wednesday, and includes measures such as:
Restrictions on home-schooling and harsher punishments for those who intimidate public officials on religious grounds
Giving children an identification number under the law that would be used to ensure they are attending school. Parents who break the law could face up to six months in jail as well as large fines
A ban on sharing the personal information of a person in a way that allows them to be located by people who want to harm them
"We must save our children from the clutches of the Islamists," Mr Darmanin told the Le Figaro newspaper on Wednesday. The draft law will be discussed by the French cabinet on 9 December.

Nicolas Sarkozy in dock as 'historic trial' over corruption finally begins
The former French president is accused of receiving illicit funds and influence peddling
Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president, will make history on Monday when he appears in court accused of corruption and influence peddling.
The case is the first of several investigations against the rightwing politician who led France between 2007 and 2012 to come before judges after years of attempts to have the charges dropped or nullified.
In a case known as the "bugging affair", the prosecution alleges Sarkozy and his lawyer, Thierry Herzog, attempted to bribe a senior magistrate, Gilbert Azibert, to hand over secret information from a separate investigation against the former French leader. In return, Sarkozy is accused of offering to help secure Azibert a cushy job on the Côte d'Azur.
Sarkozy has been targeted in an array of legal investigations – from allegations of receiving illicit campaign funding from the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to receiving alleged kickbacks from arms sales to Pakistan.
French detectives began monitoring Sarkozy's communications in September 2013 as part of an investigation into claims he had a received an undeclared and illegal €50m donation from Gaddafi to fund his successful 2007 presidential campaign.
Fabrice Arfi, a senior editor at the news website Mediapart, who has carried out several in-depth investigations into allegations of political corruption, told the Observer Sarkozy's attempts to divert attention from himself and point the finger at the legal and political system were "pure populism".
"This is an historic trial for justice in France as it is the first time a president will appear in court accused of corruption. It is absolutely crucial and probably the biggest test France's anti-corruption judges have faced," Arfi said.
"Sarkozy is on trial but, instead of responding to the accusations, what he has tried to do is point the finger at France's justice system and put it on trial. Here we have a former president behaving like Berlusconi and Trump."

Samuel Paty: Four students charged over teacher's beheading
Three of the suspects, who are between 13 and 14 years old, face charges of "complicity in a terrorist murder."
Four students have been charged over the killing of a Paris teacher last month, French media reported on Thursday.
In October, an Islamist terrorist murdered Samuel Paty and removed his head after the teacher showed his students cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad taken from the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine.
Three of the suspects were reportedly accused of "complicity in a terrorist murder" by allegedly pointing Paty out to the killer. The three students are aged between 13 and 14 years old, French news agency AFP reported.
The fourth suspect is the daughter of the man who led an online campaign against the teacher, AFP reported. She has reportedly been charged with "slanderous denunciation" of Paty for relating her story of the civics lesson despite not attending the class.
The new suspects come in addition to the two other pupils who were charged earlier this month. Those two schoolchildren, aged 14 and 15, were indicted for "complicity in terrorist assassination" and placed under judicial supervision.
Justice authorities are now investigating 14 suspects in connection the crime, which is being treated as an act of Islamist extremism.
French President Emmanuel Macron has intensified a crackdown on Islamist activity in France since the incident, attracting criticism from the Muslim world.

Video Emerges Of Brutal Beating Of Black Man
Four French police officers have been suspended and are in custody after a video that shows them brutally beating a Black man was posted online Thursday.
The incident has provoked an outcry across France and comes as President Emmanuel Macron's government is trying to push through controversial legislation that would restrict the filming of police. Civic and journalist freedom groups oppose the bill, calling it a shield for brutality.
Michel Zecler, a 41-year-old music producer, was not wearing a face mask — required under current COVID-19 measures — when police officers saw him walking in Paris last Saturday. As he tried to enter his music studio, the police officers pushed him through the doorway and pummeled him repeatedly with their fists and a billy club.
The beating stopped when others in the building came to Zecler's aid, though police later threw a tear-gas canister through the window to force him to leave his studio and arrested Zecler and others.
The police were unaware they were being filmed by a surveillance camera.
The video was posted on social media by Loopsider, a French digital news outlet, and has been viewed more than 8 million times.
"I thought it was my last day," Zecler, wearing an arm sling, told Loopsider in an interview.
Zecler spent 48 hours in jail after officers accused him of violence, resisting arrest and trying to take their weapons.
The video shows Zecler is clearly overwhelmed, and Zecler's lawyer has told French media that a formal complaint has been filed against the police officers, who are also accused of fabricating evidence.
Just days earlier, scenes of police brutally clearing migrants from an encampment in Paris sparked similar outrage.

French Gov't Walks Back Proposal To Make Publishing Images Of Police Officers Illegal After Massive Protests Erupt Across The Nation
For reasons only known to legislators who apparently had their ears bent to the point of detachment by law enforcement, the French government -- at least briefly -- believed the nation would be better secured if citizens weren't allowed to film police officers and publish those recordings online.
A bill passed through the general assembly that would have made this act a crime.
One of its most controversial elements was Article 24, which sought to criminalise the publication of images of on-duty police officers with the intent of harming their "physical or psychological integrity".
Under the article, offenders faced sentences of up to a year in jail and fines of 45,000 euros ($53,760) for sharing images of police officers.
This sounds like an effort to prevent doxxing but, given the breadth of the language in the proposed law, it could be read to forbid recording any officer who felt they might be harmed by their actions being documented. And it could be argued (with varying degrees of success) that any publication of images/recording depicting officers in any way they didn't explicitly approve of is "harmful."
And the proposal couldn't have come at a worse time. French law enforcement is facing additional scrutiny after a recording of officers beating a black man surfaced online.
Paris's top prosecutor has called for four police officers under investigation over the beating of a black music producer to face charges and for three of them to remain in detention as the probe continues.
The three officers suspected of carrying out the beating should remain in custody, he said, while a fourth, who arrived on the scene later and set off a tear gas canister, should be freed under conditions.
With this flame still burning, French legislators tossed this accelerant on the fire. No more documenting police activity because natsec. The citizens responded to this attempted shielding of bad cops as the French often do: with massive protests and a bit of violence.
Tens of thousands of critics of a proposed security law that would restrict the filming of police officers protested across France on Saturday, and officers in Paris who were advised to behave responsibly during the demonstrations repeatedly fired tear gas to disperse rowdy protesters who set fire to France's central bank and threw paving stones.
Faced with consecutive protests (the one over the beating that rolled into the one over the proposed law), French legislators are backtracking.

COVID-19: French president Emmanuel Macron tests positive for coronavirus
The French president will now isolate for seven days but will continue to work and carry out his activities remotely.
The Elysee Palace in Paris said on Thursday the 42-year-old was tested after showing early symptoms.
He will now isolate for seven days but will continue to work and carry out his activities remotely.
The brief statement did not give details of the symptoms the French president was experiencing.
His wife Brigitte, 67, is also self-isolating, her office said, although she is not showing any COVID-19 symptoms.
Mr Macron was due to visit Lebanon next week on 22 December. The trip has now been cancelled, a spokeswoman said.
It was not immediately clear what contact tracing efforts were in progress, but palace officials added he was trying to assess where he may have contracted the virus.

Some terrosrist attacks come to their judicial conclusion:
Inside the Trial of the 'Right-hand Man' Who Aided Paris Hyper Cacher Killer
Ali Riza Polat received a 30-year sentence on Wednesday for assisting three Islamist terrorists whose killing spree left 17 dead in January 2015. Not everyone in the Jewish community is happy with the verdicts for the 14 defendants
In the dock was Ali Riza Polat, charged with aiding and abetting Amédy Coulibaly, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi – the terrorists who attacked the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and Hyper Cacher supermarket, killing 17 people in January 2015.
The presiding judge, Régis de Jorna, read out the sentences for the 14 defendants, which ranged from four years to life in prison. Eleven of the defendants were in the courtroom, while three – including Hayat Boumeddiene, the widow of Coulibaly – had fled to Syria before the first attack commenced on January 7, 2015.
The verdict ended the three-month trial linked to the three days of killings across Paris claimed jointly by the Islamic State group and Al-Qaida. All three terrorists died on January 9: the Kouachi brothers as they confronted the police after being cornered north of Paris, and Coulibaly during the police raid to end the siege at the Hyper Cacher store after he took dozens of people hostage.
Polat received the stiffest sentence among those present. "Ali Riza Polat: 30 years," Judge de Jorna declared. The 35-year-old defendant, who had often shouted during the trial, was focused and quiet as the verdict was read out. (Boumeddiene received the same sentence in absentia.)
Prosecutors presented Polat as Coulibaly's right-hand man, the person who helped him set up a network of young offenders who gave him the money to purchase weapons and carry out his attacks.
The French-Turkish national repeatedly denied being involved. "Are you crazy? Me? I'm implicated in terrorism? I'm a scapegoat!" Polat shouted during cross-examination in October. "I didn't even know the Kouachi brothers, my DNA is on none of the weapons. The accusation is based entirely on false testimonies. I will not go to jail for something I didn't do!" he raged.

Ayoub El-Khazzani: Gunman jailed for life over 2015 France train attack
A French court has sentenced an Islamist militant to life in jail over an August 2015 plot to attack Americans on a high-speed train.
Ayoub El-Khazzani, a Moroccan national, opened fire on board a train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris.
Two people were wounded in the incident before El-Khazzani was overpowered by passengers.
Three other men were found guilty of helping the 31-year-old plan the attack.
The events on board the train inspired a Clint Eastwood-directed film.
Dozens of people were called as witnesses following a four-year investigation into the attack.
El-Khazzani was found guilty of attempted murder as part of a terrorist enterprise over the attack, which happened three months before the deadly militant Islamist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
Three others were issued sentences of between seven and 27 years as accomplices.
The main defendant, who fought alongside Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria, had already admitted his role in the attack, near the town of Oignies in northern France. He told the trial last month he had been under orders from Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud to kill Americans and members of the European Commission.
In the end, he said he had been unable to carry out the plan. When Spencer Stone came at him "it was too much....I let him grab me", he told the court.
Earlier this month, one of three Americans hailed as heroes for overcoming El-Khazzani told the court his main aim had been to survive.
Spencer Stone, a 28-year-old ex-serviceman, described via video from the US how he and his friends had seen El-Khazzani pick up a Kalashnikov rifle and prepare to open fire.

Covid-19: French bill could ban unvaccinated from public transport
People who fail to get a Covid-19 vaccination could be banned from using public transport in France, according to a draft law sparking angry protests from opposition politicians on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Jean Castex on Monday got his cabinet's backing for a bill that is designed to provide a legal framework for dealing with health crises, including the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the text, which will now be submitted to parliament, a negative Covid test or proof of a "preventative treatment, including the administration of a vaccine" could be required for people to be granted "access to transport or to some locations, as well as certain activities".
According to opinion polls, 55 percent of French people say they will not get a Covid shot, one of the highest rates in the European Union.
The government's vaccination campaign is to start on Sunday.
President Emmanuel Macron has promised that coronavirus vaccinations, though strongly recommended, will not be mandatory.
But opposition politicians condemned the draft law, with Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right RN party, calling it an "essentially totalitarian" measure.
"In a backhanded way, this bill does not aim to make vaccinations mandatory, but will prevent anybody who doesn't comply from having a social life," she said.
RN party spokesman Sebastien Chenu said Macron's government was planning "a health dictatorship".
Guillaume Peltier, deputy leader of the centre-right LR party, said it was "inconceivable" that the government should be allowed to "get all the power to suspend our freedoms without parliamentary control."
Centrist senator Nathalie Goulet said the draft was "an attack on public freedoms", while the far-left deputy Alexis Corbiere said "we could at least have a collective discussion if the idea is to limit our public liberties."
In response, public sector minister Amelie de Montchalin said the bill was "not at all made to create exceptional powers for the government" or "create a health state."
She said there would be a debate about the bill during which "everything that needs clarification will be clarified."

Casino Employees Reveal Gamblers Worst Rage Moments (r/AskReddit Top Posts - Reddit Stories)
By April, combined monthly gaming revenue had been declining on a year-over-year basis for 32 months. The way averages work, the larger the sample, the narrower the range of variation. The marketers present casinos as glamorous playgrounds where workaday worries and things like morality, sobriety, and prudence are on holiday. Fifteen million dollars in winnings from three different casinos? Arrayed on the table before him were the four eights. D espite his pedestrian attire , Don Johnson is no average Joe. The first and most obvious suspicion was card counting. As good as he is at playing cards, he turns out to be even better at playing the casinos. He is a veteran player. The tactic requires both great memory and superior math skills. He had been trying to figure out its blackjack game for years but had never been able to win big. By late , the discounts at some of the strapped Atlantic City casinos began creeping upward, as high as 20 percent. It seemed a fantasy come true, the very dream that draws suckers to the gaming tables. What gives Johnson his edge is his knowledge of the gaming industry. For the casino, the art is in telling the skilled whales from the unskilled ones, then discouraging the former and seducing the latter. Johnson was on an amazing streak. Because the casino values high rollers more than the average customer, it is willing to lessen its edge for them. When his second hand was dealt a two, he doubled down on that, too. You play against the house. He stood 6 foot 1 and weighed only pounds. For Johnson, the game began before he ever set foot in the casino. When casinos started getting desperate, Johnson was perfectly poised to take advantage of them. He does not just walk into a casino and start playing, which is what roughly 99 percent of customers do. The player still loses. He had beaten the casinos fair and square. Beyond the usual high-roller perks, the casino might also sweeten the deal by staking the player a significant amount up front, offering thousands of dollars in free chips, just to get the ball rolling. When you add gaming tables or slots at a fancy new venue like Revel, or like the Borgata, which opened in , the novelty may initially draw crowds, but adding gaming supply without enlarging the number of customers ultimately hurts everyone. But two years ago, Johnson says, the casinos started getting desperate. Hard times do not favor the house. It was a growth industry. He drew a 10, so the two cards he was showing totaled This was a good bet: since all face cards are worth 10, the deck holds more high cards than low. But he was not considered good enough to discourage or avoid. When this happened to Johnson, he knew the ground rules had skewed against him.
D on Johnson finds it hard to remember the exact cards. He was the only Atlantic City casino executive who agreed to talk to me about Johnson. Two cards are placed faceup before the player, and two more cards, one down, one up, before the dealer. The towers of chips stacked in front of him formed a colorful miniature skyline.
Scanning the cards on the table before him, the player can either stand or keep taking cards in an effort to approach His next two cards, surprisingly, were also both eights, so he split each again. But even though he has been around the gambling industry for all of his 49 years, Johnson snuck up on Atlantic City.
He worked with a physician to keep weight off, fighting his natural growth rate with thyroid medication that amped up his metabolism and subsisting on vitamin supplements.
High rollers are lured with free meals and drinks, free luxury suites, free rides on private jets, and … more. He has served as a state regulator in Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Wyoming. Many casinos sell laminated charts in their guest shops that reveal the optimal strategy for any situation the game presents.
He started to learn a lot about gambling. Johnson had not played a game at the Indians catawba in more than a year.
The wagering of card counters assumes a clearly recognizable pattern over time, and Johnson was being watched very carefully. Little interferes with his concentration. The goal is to get to 21, or as close to it as possible without going over.
A session of, say, hands will display wider rivers casino blackjack reddit, with steeper winning and losing streaks, than the standard casino charts.
Made famous in books and movies, card counting is considered cheating, at least by casinos.
It hurt. Some wear disguises when they play. Whenever the racily clad cocktail waitress wandered in with a fresh whiskey and Diet Coke, he took it from the tray. Word spreads when the betting is that big. When revenues slump, casinos must rely more heavily on their most prized customers, the high rollers who wager huge amounts—tens of thousands or visit web page hundreds of thousands of dollars a hand.
He had the money to wager big, he had the skill to win, and he did not rivers casino blackjack reddit enough of a reputation for the casinos to be wary of him.
In most states but not New Jerseyknown practitioners are banned. Almost everyone rivers casino blackjack reddit them.
The software his company employs analyzes more data than an ordinary handicapper will see in a thousand lifetimes, and defines risk to a degree that was impossible rivers casino blackjack reddit five years ago.
To look at him, over six feet tall and thickly built, you rivers casino blackjack reddit never guess that he was once a jockey.
The basics of blackjack are simple. But the story was even bigger rivers casino blackjack reddit that. The industry pays close attention to high-level players; once a player earns a reputation for visit web page, the courtship ends.
He was neither nervous nor excited. Compared with horse racing, the odds in blackjack are fairly straightforward to calculate.
The way any discount works, you have to lose a certain amount to capitalize on it. So it was no longer rivers casino blackjack reddit his while to play there.
How did he do it? About a decade ago, he founded a business that does computer-assisted wagering on horses. He was just getting started. Dozens of spectators pressed against the glass of the high-roller pit. They negotiate. As another skyscraper of chips was pushed into his skyline, he signaled for the next hand. The regimen was so demanding that he eventually had to give it up. All of these gambling houses were already hurting, what with the spread of legalized gambling in surrounding states. In his best years as a professional jockey, he was practically skeletal. More useful, for his purposes, is running a smaller number of hands and paying attention to variation. For one thing, he is an extraordinarily skilled blackjack player. An ordinary guy in a red cap and black hoodie had struck it rich, had beaten the casinos black-and-blue. But the vast majority of players lose, and the longer they play, the more they lose. Johnson says he was once dealt six consecutive aces at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. The new Parx racetrack and casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, a gigantic gambling complex, is less than 80 miles away from the Atlantic City boardwalk. Card counters seek to gain a strong advantage by keeping a mental tally of every card dealt, and then adjusting the wager according to the value of the cards that remain in the deck. Caesars had cut him off, he says, and then effectively banned him from its casinos worldwide. Nobody gets that lucky. At the height of his hour blitz of the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, last April, he was playing a hand of blackjack nearly every minute. Who could? Johnson was in charge of day-to-day operations, including the betting operation. For most people, though, the newspaper headline told a happy story. His body quickly assumed more normal proportions, and he went to work helping manage racetracks, a career that brought him to Philadelphia when he was about He was hired to manage Philadelphia Park, the track that evolved into the Parx casino, in Bensalem, where he lives today. The last thing a skilled player wants is a big reputation. Johnson won all four hands. With their table-game revenues tanking and the number of whales diminishing, casino marketers began to compete more aggressively for the big spenders. Pennsylvania is likely to supplant New Jersey this year as the second-largest gaming state in the nation. The headline in The Press of Atlantic City was enough to gladden the heart of anyone who has ever made a wager or rooted for the underdog:. A tlantic City did know who Johnson was.

No Energy Security without Climate Security
Jul 12, 2006 by Administratorin Opinion
With oil and gas prices at record highs and fears mounting over future supplies, global energy security will take centre stage at this year's meeting of the Group of Eight (G8) industrialized nations.
As heads of states meet in Russia — one of the world's largest energy exporters and a country benefiting from record energy profits — they will no doubt call for greater cooperation to ensure that the global economy is not harmed by unstable oil prices and political instability in many energy-producing nations.
At this time last year, G8 leaders touted climate change as a top priority, but this upcoming meeting in St Petersburg appears set to ignore the issue in order to focus on securing energy supplies.
But there will be no real energy security without a stable and secure environment, particularly in an environment that is being threatened by the ill effects of climate change.
As climate change is the single most important environmental, if not global challenge that we are facing today, we need a plan. Not just any plan, but a comprehensive climate and energy security plan akin to the Marshall Plan after World War II that helped rebuild Europe — a plan that attempts to restore the Earth's fragile ecosystem by cutting polluting gas emissions and dramatically improving energy efficiency.
Every litre of oil or gas, every bit of coal that we humans burn, adds to the increasing level of heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a by-product of burning these fossil fuels. About 23 billion tonnes of CO2 are spewed into the Earth's atmosphere every year — most of it by western industrialized countries. This build-up of CO2 and other gases are contributing to global warming.
Scientific consensus shows that we face grave risks if global temperatures rise 2°C above those of pre-industrial times. Many around the world have already had a taste of what this would bring with temperatures up just 0.7°C — more frequent and severe storms and heat waves, drought, melting glaciers and rising sea levels. Such events can have immense security and economic implications, including crop failures in key food producing areas, border disputes over resources, mass movement of "environmental" refugees, and the spending of billions of dollars needed to cope with natural disasters.
To help mitigate these risks, we need effective policies to reduce global warming before carbon emissions increase to such a point that they become too difficult to reverse. We need a resounding commitment by governments at the G8 Summit to energy efficiency, conservation measures and renewable energies.
More efficient use of energy must be seen as a crucial part of minimizing our dependence on fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions. By legislating national standards, energy consumption can be easily improved. A recent study calculated that stand-by power consumption, particularly for computers, amounts to up to 13 per cent of residential electricity use in many OECD countries. If households cut energy use by 1 per cent a year, savings would be significant, especially when added to other climate protection schemes such as switching from coal to natural gas as an intermediary bridging fuel and increasing renewable energy use.
Renewable energies are especially relevant from a security viewpoint as they diversify energy sources, promote efficiency and reduce reliance on extended supply routes and vulnerable infrastructure. There has been an explosive investment growth in wind, solar, sustainable biomass, geothermal and other technologies, and many are now competitive suppliers, even in the face of massive subsidies given to the fossil fuel industry. With ambitious support and simultaneous expansion of energy conservation, realistic targets are possible. Sustainable biomass could supply 15-30 per cent of electricity in OECD companies by 2020, and wind could supply 12 per cent of global electricity in the next 20 years.
More and more people are increasingly aware of the importance of saving energy, not just because it means less impact on their pocketbooks, but less impact on the planet. Our aspirations for the future cannot be met unless we start to tread more gently upon the thin crust of the sphere upon which our lives depend, and take better care of the atmosphere that sustains us.
Just as the Marshall Plan looked to ensure stability in Europe at a time of great uncertainty, G8 leaders today have an enormous responsibility to steer the world away from climate change and energy insecurity towards a safe and secure future through a stable climate.

Hello everyone! Let me properly introduce myself, my name is Miracle.
I love to eat sunflower seeds and barley balls and a little fruit now and then, especially strawberries and mango, those are my very favorites. I have a good home and am a very happy little guy. I am a really handsome boy and have fluffy grey fur with white markings and the cutest little face with a pink nose and big deep black eyes. I was the runt of my litter. When I was just a baby, my hammy Mommy decided to bite one of my ears off. Sad I know, but you'll soon see that I now have a very happy life with my Family who loves me very much and who I love with all my little hammy heart in return.
I was born from a big litter, I've said that I was the runt but I think it makes me special because now that I'm all grown up I am big, fat and happy, you'd never be able to tell that I was once the smallest of all my brothers and sisters. I started out with a different family, then the one that I have now. My new Mommy named me Miracle because she says I am one. My new Family found me one day when the little girl of my old family was outside not being very nice to me and treating me like a toy.
This mean little girl was on the playground of an apartment complex and took me outside with her. It was Summer time, it was hot outside and there were metal slides at the playground which this little girl began to use by sliding me down it. It hurt and I was sad and scared. I was only a baby and didn't even have my eyes opened yet when this was happening to me. I was wishing to the God of my species that someone would come and save me from this mean child and suddenly my prayers were answered.
Out of the blue another girl came up towards me and she was bigger and older than the child who had been hurting me by playing so rough and doing things you should never do to a hamster. This new girl came and rescued me, she told the other child that she had better stop and asked why she was doing things so mean to me. The little girl replied it was because she didn't want me and this made me sad, especially because my own hammy family had kind of rejected me when my birth mom for some reason decided to bite off my left ear. I can still hear out of it though and I personally think I'm so cute and sweet that my personality completely makes up for this small flaw.
Anyways, this new girl took me from the other child who had been abusing me and she brought me into what would become my new home and forever Family. I found out the girl's name was Amara and she carefully cradled me into my new home and showed me to my new Mommy who immediately accepted and loved me.
When Amara told her mom Lesley my story and what had been happening to me this woman made sure to take good care of me and called herself my Mommy and I was so excited and felt so special now and knew already somehow that I would be safe and loved in this new place.
My new Mommy Lesley and her husband Andy, my new Daddy went immediately online and purchased a cage for me and then they went out while I waited with the rest of my new Family to go out and buy me food, bowls, a water bottle, chew toys and supplied all this and more to meet my every need. I remember now being so surprised at the way my new Family was treating me because I had never had a chance to be accepted and loved so much this way before. As I said I was a baby when this happened and my eyes were still shut. My new Mommy and Daddy had to hand feed and water me because I was too young at the time to be able to do these things for myself. They didn't seem to mind at all and even acted as if they really enjoyed holding me as I drank out of and ate out of their hands. I decided pretty quickly that I loved to be held and handled by these particular humans, they were always so nice to me and had such big hearts so I made sure to always be pleasant and nice to them.
I remember a funny story from when I was a baby that first day that I was brought home and I'd like to share it with you all. My new Family had never had a hamster before and when I first arrived I was still quite shaken up and understandably scared because of how I was being treated by my old family. Before I was sure I could trust these new people in my life, I had an episode where I got a little scared and rolled onto my back, stuck my legs out and made a noise that sounded like a beeping alarm clock to my new owners. They didn't know that I did this because I was just a bit scared still and my new Mommy went online immediately freaking out over what had happened, actually worried about me and trying to find out what my actions had meant and to make sure I was healthy and OK. She did a lot of research and finally came upon the correct answer, that it was a defense mechanism us hamsters sometimes use when we are frightened. After they learned it was only normal behavior they were so relieved. They laughed about how I sounded like an alarm clock and I didn't mind because once I finally heard an alarm clock I must agree that I did kind of sound like one and this fact made me have a nice hammy giggle to myself, too. Mommy even did all the research to find out what breed of hamster I am and she found out that I am what they call a Russian Dwarf hamster.
As time passed, I grew up healthy and I got pretty big and a little fat, too but my Mommy thinks that I am the most adorable little thing to ever walk on this Earth. I know because she told me so, she talks to me a lot and I listen, always looking up at her to show I'm paying attention as she lovingly holds me and coos to me with baby noises and softly spoken words confessing all her love for me. I really enjoy being out of my cage and if I had my way I'd be out of it all the time just so I could be around Lesley my new Mommy and the rest of my Family.
I really love all the attention that I get from everyone and I adore being held, pet, and just generally loved by my humans. My Mommy does so many special things to make me happy that I try to come up with ways to bring her more joy also and I found some that really work. Mommy loves to put me in her pocket and I like to scramble around inside it and sometimes pop my head out just hanging out in her pocket. I also am allowed to run all over my parent's bed and I soon found a game that I love where I go under the blankets and roam around. It's a lot of fun for me and sometimes Mommy leaves treats under it for me to find while I play. She even bought me a special thin blanket that's fleece that I really love playing under. I don't care much for the hamster ball they bought me though, that's why I'm always allowed to come out and play around the bed and floor while my parent's supervise me. One thing I do that my Mom just absolutely loves is playing a game with her that we call "around the Mommy" where I literally go around and around my Mommy while she sits cross-legged on our bed. She really loves it when I play this game and it's so much fun. I play it by running close to her body and going around her over and over again, stopping to wiggle my whiskers now and then and look up at Mommy to say I love you to her. She always says she loves me, too.
Another favorite thing we both like is when I sit curled up in her lap or her hands and she just holds me and tells me how special I am, that I am a true Miracle and that she is so happy to have me in her life. She tells me everyday how much I brighten up her world and my new Family brightens up mine, too. We get along so well together and everyone in the family holds me and pets me and gives me treats, loves and attention. I am a very lucky hammy. I had a hard start and wondered if my life would get any better when suddenly I was rescued from my bad situation and put into a place I could really call home with people I could really consider my loving and faithful Family. My Mommy took lots of pictures with me and she's going to share them with my story so you can see me when I was just a baby in their hands and also see what I have grown up to be and look like. She always tells me that I am the cutest hamster ever and she thinks that my missing ear gives me character. She never judged me or treated me differently because the left one is missing. She always treated me just like any happy, healthy hamster should be. I don't really mind the missing ear myself because it doesn't interfere with anything and I can still hear out of it just fine.
I lived a very long and happy life with my Family, longer than most hamsters usually live, I was on this Earth for about 3 whole years. My vet said that I lived practically forever and had a very long and happy, healthy life. Sadly, I am writing this to you from Hammy Heaven. I passed away at the beginning of this year inside my cage in the middle of the night while I was sleeping all curled up into a ball in the hammy hut that my Family bought for me and that I loved so much. I really miss them and I know they miss me. I know Mommy remembers me everyday and I also think of her just as often. I was lucky to be loved by such a great Family.
I am buried in a nice spot underneath a tree and a fern now grows there, and I live on not only in Heaven but in this little plant as well and Mommy and the rest of the Family still come visit me to this very day bringing flowers to my little grave and handfuls of sunflower seeds, fruits, and the hamster barley food balls that I craved and loved so much when I was alive. I miss them, and I know they miss me, but Mommy always said we'd find each other again in Heaven, and I am waiting for her here. Mommy named me Miracle and I was one, but my new Family was also a miracle to me and I'll never forget them, ever.

Melbourne Airport to City for Under $4
Author: Matt Graham
Melbourne Airport's SkyBus increased its fares again this week. A ticket on the monopoly bus service between Melbourne Airport and Southern Cross station now costs $19 one-way, or $38 return. "10 Trip saver" tickets have also increased by $10 to $160. Family tickets have seen a small price reduction.
Our members are thoroughly unimpressed by this latest price hike.
Really disgusting for what is usually overcrowded and uncomfortable
But there's a little-known alternative to the SkyBus that costs just $3.90 per trip. The 901 bus can be used between Melbourne Airport and Broadmeadows station, with a train completing the trip between Broadmeadows and Melbourne's city centre.
[The 901 bus] runs every 15 minutes on weekdays until about 9 o'clock at night and is half hourly at other times. You can take a train from Melbourne's city stations on the Craigieburn line to Broadmeadows (or even V/Line train from Albury, Seymour or Shepparton) and connect to the 901 right outside the station. The fare one way is $3.90 ($1.85 seniors, pensioners and kids) using a myki smartcard. It can take as little as an hour depending on how long you wait at Broadmeadows. This is a lot cheaper than Skybus' $19 with the savings increasing if you use this other option for a return trip.
At Melbourne Airport the route 901 departs from the new car park not far from Terminal 4: there are ground floor bus bays. There's a myki card vending machine at international arrivals…
The bus/train combination via Broadmeadows is much cheaper than the SkyBus, but it does have some downsides. It generally takes longer, and requires a connection in Broadmeadows. The SkyBus travels directly to Southern Cross station in the city. Furthermore, the train and bus timetables are not well-synched, meaning an extended wait in Broadmeadows can sometimes be necessary. Planning the trip in advance can help to reduce these wait times.
While some members place a higher value on their time, others are happy to take the slight detour for a saving of $15 in each direction.
When searching for directions to the airport on Google Maps or the PTV Journey Planner, SkyBus options are shown by default. In order to view possible train/bus connections on Google Maps, the "bus" option must be manually de-selected. On the PTV Journey Planner, select "more search options" and de-select the SkyBus option from the drop-down menu.
If you're travelling to the airport with two or more people, Uber or a taxi is also now a more viable, cost-effective option. Prices for two or more passengers will be almost the same as SkyBus, and you'll receive a more comfortable door-to-door service.
If you have two people, Uber X is now much more attractive (effectively the same price when traffic is good) and it's to the door as well, on the departure level

Biografia
Giunge con la famiglia a Milano, lasciando la natia Sicilia, all'età di quattro anni e a sei anni viene iscritto dal padre Giuseppe (anch'egli musicista) al Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Milano dove conseguirà il diploma in violino. Pur provenendo dagli studi classici è il jazz la sua grande passione e presto forma un suo combo con il quale si esibisce in Italia e all'estero per molti anni. Nell'immediato dopoguerra collabora con grandi del jazz italiano dell'epoca: Gil Cuppini, Glauco Masetti, Oscar Valdambrini, Pier Emilio Bassi, Renato Sellani, Eridano Ronchi, Ray Martino, Riccardo Rauchi, Piero Rizza, Beppe Termini e molti altri. Dagli anni cinquanta fino alla metà degli anni ottanta è membro delle sezioni d'archi di orchestre che si producono negli studi di registrazione di Milano, spesso in veste di primo violino e a volte di violino solista (come nell'album  Amanti di valore di Mina).  Ha così modo di collaborare con importanti direttori d'orchestra come Gorni Kramer, Enrico Simonetti, Angelo Giacomazzi, Gigi Cichellero, Pino Calvi, Iller Pattaccini, Franco Monaldi, Pino Presti, Bill Conti, Gianpiero Reverberi, Franco Cassano, Tony Mimms, etc. Fa inoltre parte per molti anni dell'organico delle orchestre del Festival di Sanremo e della Mostra Internazionale di Musica Leggera di Venezia.

Come compositore è noto soprattutto per aver firmato con Guido Lamorgese Cinque minuti e poi, uno dei più grandi successi della fine degli anni sessanta. La canzone, interpretata e portata alla notorietà nel 1968 da Maurizio, è stata poi ripresa da Claudio Baglioni nel 2006 e inserita come brano d'apertura nel doppio album Quelli degli altri tutti qui e nel triplo album Buon viaggio della vita, registrato dal vivo dal cantautore romano nel 2007.

Muore nel febbraio 1989 a Milano, a causa di un incidente automobilistico.
Negli ultimi anni di vita si era dedicato all'insegnamento e all'approfondimento nel campo della musica classico-sinfonica.

Era il padre del bassista, arrangiatore, direttore d'orchestra e compositore Pino Presti.

Harry Leslie Smith: Anti-poverty activist and author dies in Ontario at age 95
rabble news
Prominent anti-poverty activist and author Harry Leslie Smith has died in an Ontario hospital on November 28. He was 95.
Once referring to himself as "the world's oldest rebel," Smith spent decades advocating for the poor.
Born in 1923 in England, he grew up during the Great Depression, served with the Royal Air Force in the Second World War, and emigrated to Canada in 1953.
He wrote several acclaimed books, including Harry's Last Stand: How the World My Generation Built Is Falling Down, and What We Can Do to Save It, published in 2014.
That same year, Smith's address at a British Labour Party conference that described the harshness of life before that country established its National Health Service was so riveting it reportedly moved some to tears.
The global financial crisis of 2008 is credited to have sparked him to take what he chronicles in his book as his "last stand," writing, campaigning and, eventually, tweeting about income inequality, public services and the prospects for the future.
In 2017, Smith published his fifth book, Don't Let My Past Be Your Future, a work that has been described as a manifesto and survival guide for a new generation who need hope.
