September 7, 2021 NEW YORK (AP) — Actor Michael K. Williams, who as the rogue robber of drug dealers Omar Little on "The Wire" created one of the most beloved and enduring characters in a prime era of television, died Monday. Williams was found dead Monday afternoon by family members in his Brooklyn penthouse apartment, New York City police said. He was 54. His death was being investigated as a possible drug overdose, the NYPD said. The medical examiner was investigating the cause of death. Little, a "stick-up boy" based on real figures from Baltimore, was probably the most popular character among the devoted fans of "The Wire," the HBO show that ran from 2002 to 2008 and is re-watched constantly in streaming.
September 8, 2021 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Britney Spears' father filed Tuesday to end the court conservatorship that has controlled the singer's life and money for 13 years. James Spears filed his petition to terminate the conservatorship in Los Angeles Superior Court. "As Mr. Spears has said, again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter," the document says. "If Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance." Judge Brenda Penny, who oversees the case, will need to approve the move. Britney Spears attorney Matthew Rosengart said in an email the filing "represents another legal victory for Britney Spears — a massive one — as well as vindication for Ms. Spears."
September 8, 2021 NEW YORK (AP) — With Katie Holmes and Lil' Kim on his front row and singer Marina on the mic high above his runway, Christian Siriano helped kicked off New York Fashion Week's first big pandemic round of in-person shows Tuesday with a flurry of neon and lace-inspired in part by all the Italian women in his life. From ornate Gotham Hall, beneath a stained-glass skylight 70 feet up, Siriano's commitment to size inclusivity was never stronger as he opened and closed the show with plus-size breakout model Precious Lee. She first walked in a stunning yellow trouser suit with wide loose pants and an asymmetrical jacket, a matching crossover bralette underneath.
September 7, 2021 VENICE, Italy (AP) — Paul Schrader knows he has a limited number of films left, so whatever he does from here on out is going to be for himself. At 75 years old, the writer of "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" and director of "American Gigolo" and "Mishima" was even somewhat prepared to call it a day after his 2018 film "First Reformed," for which he got his first Oscar nomination. He didn't want to. He just knew it might be the reality. "I thought I would go back to this character again for about the fifth time," Schrader said in a recent interview. By "this character" he means "the man in the room." It's Travis Bickle. It's John LeTour. It's Julian Kay. And it's a formula he's been working with for 45 years.
September 8, 2021 -Stocks were mostly lower in Asia on Wednesday after a lackluster session on Wall Street, where weak jobs data and pandemic concerns weighed on sentiment. Shares rose in Tokyo after economic growth for the April-June quarter was revised upward to an annualized 1.9% from an earlier estimate of 1.3%. "Any feel-good factor was ignored, though, given the climb was less than half of the 4.20% fall in Q1," Jeffrey Halley of Oanda said in a commentary. "Japan will be lucky to break even this year as the current Covid-19 wave will almost certainly have weighed on domestic consumption," he said.
September 8, 2021 NEW YORK (AP) — There will be something missing at two Whole Foods stores opening next year: the rows of cashiers. Amazon, which owns the grocery chain, said Wednesday that it will bring its cashier-less technology to two Whole Foods stores for the first time, letting shoppers grab what they need and leave without having to open their wallets. Cameras and sensors track what's taken off shelves. Items are charged to an Amazon account after customers leave the store with them. But there will be an option for those who want to shop the old-fashioned way: Self-checkout lanes will be available that take cash, gift cards and other types of payment. Amazon first unveiled the cashier-less technology in 2018 at an Amazon Go convenience store and has expanded it to larger Amazon supermarkets. But it will be the first time it has appeared at Whole Foods, a chain of more than 500 grocery stores Amazon bought four years ago.
September 8, 2021 BEIJING (AP) — An avalanche of changes launched by China's ruling Communist Party has jolted everyone from tech billionaires to school kids. Behind them: President Xi Jinping's vision of making a more powerful, prosperous country by reviving revolutionary ideals, with more economic equality and tighter party control over society and entrepreneurs. Since taking power in 2012, Xi has called for the party to return to its "original mission" as China's economic, social and cultural leader and carry out the " rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation." The party has spent the decade since then silencing dissent and tightening political control. Now, after 40 years of growth that transformed China into the world's factory but left a gulf between a wealthy elite and the poor majority, the party is promising to spread prosperity more evenly and is pressing private companies to pay for social welfare and back Beijing's ambition to become a global technology competitor.

Everything started at 6:45 am when Blue Tide's crew woke up slowly but surely to sail. We spent all morning practicing our sailing skills: tacking, jibing, and man overboard drills. We then made our way to Trellis Bay where we had lunch on shore. As recommended by Kayleigh, many of us tried the ribs and weren't disappointed. Blue Tide's crew made their way to the grocery store where everybody rushed to the sweets aisles. In the afternoon we moved onto more serious activities: the entire camp united to help rebuild and clean the beach ravaged by Hurricane Irma. We were divided into groups, and each was assigned an activity. We all worked for three hours with high spirits and motivation, as we were helping an area in need. We see a lot of disasters on tv but never usually do something about it. Although this time we did, I felt so helpful and pleased to do a charitable activity, and seeing everybody contribute to this cause with enthusiasm and passion was amazing. Our activity consisted of cleaning the beach by removing fiberglass and other waste from the premises. We ended this busy day with a beautiful group picture on the beach. Now I'm writing while dishes are being cleaned and music is being blasted. We are all having the time of our lives, thank you to our parents and instructors!

15-year-old schoolboy develops test for Alzheimer's disease
A 15-year-old British boy has developed a potential test for Alzheimer's disease which could allow the condition to be diagnosed 10 years before the first symptoms appear. Currently Alzheimer's can only be detected through a series of cognitive tests or by looking at the brain after death.
But Krtin Nithiyanandam, of Epsom, Surrey, has developed a 'trojan horse' antibody which can penetrate the brain and attach to neurotoxic proteins which are present in the very first stages of the disease. The antibodies, which would be injected into the bloodstream are also attached to fluorescent particles which can then be picked up on a brain scan.
Krtin submitted his test to the Google Science Fair Prize and learned that he had made it through to the final last week. He will find out next month if he has won a prestigious scholarship and mentoring to take his idea further.
"The main benefits of my test are that it could be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease before symptoms start to show by focusing on pathophysiological changes, some of which can occur a decade before symptoms are prevalent," Krtin told The Daily Telegraph.
"This early diagnosis could help families prepare for the future and ensure that existing drugs are used to better effect. "Another benefit is that due to the conjugated fluorescent nanoparticles, my diagnostic-probe can be used to image Alzheimer's disease non-invasively."
Neurodegenerative disease like dementia are so hard to diagnose and treat because of the blood-brain barrier, an extra later of cellular material which surrounds blood vessels in the brain, and refuses to let anything through that is absolutely essential.
But Krtin's antibodies can pass through that barrier. Latest lab tests even show that they 'handcuff' the toxic proteins, stopping them from developing further which could potentially stop Alzhiemer's in its tracks
There are 850,000 people currently suffering from dementia in the UK, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common type. The disease kills at least 60,000 people each year.

The quickest way to get lost is to travel without directions. The same thing happens with healthy eating. No plan, no direction, no results.
The second quickest way to fail is to make a plan which is too complicated, too draconian and ultimately too hard to follow.
The sweet spot lies in the middle.
Clear, simple and sustainable strategies which help guide us through a western food culture actively encouraging the over consumption of empty calories.
These are just examples. There is no one set of directions which will work for everyone. It needs to be personal and relevant to you. Take a step back, have an honest look at your current eating habits and decide on some obvious areas of improvement. Once armed with this information you can create your own set of food rules which point you in the direction of healthier eating and keep you on track when temptation comes knocking.
In the end it boils down to the old adage… failing to plan is planning to fail.

Neue Schule Bits offer the latest in horse bit design and engineering. Neue Schule Gold Salox is a unique metal that rapidly equilibrates to blood temperature so that the mouthpiece is less likely to feel like a foreign body in the horse's mouth. If this happens we can expect a more relaxed acceptance of the bit which would promote responsiveness to the rider's aids and culminate in a soft, consistent contact. Browse our range of Neue Schule bits and please contact us if there is another design and size you would like us to order.


There are limiting assumptions in the question. It is not yet the state of the art to produce active materials that show the same level of excess heat. The core problem is the material, i.e., in FPHE experiments, palladium. The known and clearly reproducible and confirmed experiment works around this problem, by seeking correlation between anomlous heat and helium production. In that work, all experiments in a series are to be considered; even with the same materials, apparently the same conditions, results change.

Guidelines on International Protection:
UNHCR issues these Guidelines pursuant to its mandate, as contained in the 1950 Statute of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, in conjunction with Article 35 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and Article II of its 1967 Protocol. These Guidelines complement the UNHCR Handbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status under the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees (Reedited, Geneva, January 1992). These Guidelines summarise the Background Note on the Application of the Exclusion Clauses: Article 1F of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (4 September 2003) which forms an integral part of UNHCR's position on this issue. They supersede The Exclusion Clauses: Guidelines on their Application (UNHCR, Geneva, 1 December 1996) and Note on the Exclusion Clauses (UNHCR, Geneva, 30 May 1997), and result, inter alia, from the Second Track of the Global Consultations on International Protection process which examined this subject at its expert meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, in May 2001. An update of these Guidelines was also deemed necessary in light of contemporary developments in international law.
These Guidelines are intended to provide interpretative legal guidance for governments, legal practitioners, decision-makers and the judiciary, as well as UNHCR staff carrying out refugee status determination in the field.
Application of the Exclusion Clauses: Article 1F of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees
A. Background
1. Paragraph 7(d) of the 1950 UNHCR Statute, Article 1F of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (hereinafter "1951 Convention") and Article I(5) of the 1969 Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa (hereinafter "OAU Convention") all oblige States and UNHCR to deny the benefits of refugee status to certain persons who would otherwise qualify as refugees. These provisions are commonly referred to as "the exclusion clauses". These Guidelines provide a summary of the key issues relating to these provisions – further guidance can be found in UNHCR's Background Note on the Application of the Exclusion Clauses: Article 1F of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (hereinafter "the Background Note"), which forms an integral part of these Guidelines.
2. The rationale for the exclusion clauses, which should be borne in mind when considering their application, is that certain acts are so grave as to render their perpetrators undeserving of international protection as refugees. Their primary purpose is to deprive those guilty of heinous acts, and serious common crimes, of international refugee protection and to ensure that such persons do not abuse the institution of asylum in order to avoid being held legally accountable for their acts. The exclusion clauses must be applied "scrupulously" to protect the integrity of the institution of asylum, as is recognised by UNHCR's Executive Committee in Conclusion No. 82 (XLVIII), 1997. At the same time, given the possible serious consequences of exclusion, it is important to apply them with great caution and only after a full assessment of the individual circumstances of the case. The exclusion clauses should, therefore, always be interpreted in a restrictive manner.
3. The exclusion clauses in the 1951 Convention are exhaustive. This should be kept in mind when interpreting Article I(5) of the OAU Convention which contains almost identical language. Article 1F of the 1951 Convention states that the provisions of that Convention "shall not apply to any person with respect to whom there are serious reasons for considering" that:
B. Relationship with other provisions of the 1951 Convention
4. Article 1F of the 1951 Convention should be distinguished from Article 1D which applies to a specific category of persons receiving protection or assistance from organs and agencies of the United Nations other than UNHCR. Article 1F should also be distinguished from Article 1E which deals with persons not in need (as opposed to undeserving) of international protection. Moreover the exclusion clauses are not to be confused with Articles 32 and 33(2) of the Convention which deal respectively with the expulsion of, and the withdrawal of protection from refoulement from, recognised refugees who pose a danger to the host State (for example, because of serious crimes they have committed there). Article 33(2) concerns the future risk that a recognised refugee may pose to the host State.
C. Temporal scope
5. Articles 1F(a) and 1F(c) are concerned with crimes whenever and wherever they are committed. By contrast, the scope of Article 1F(b) is explicitly limited to crimes committed outside the country of refuge prior to admission to that country as a refugee.
D. Cancellation or revocation on the basis of exclusion
6. Where facts which would have led to exclusion only come to light after the grant of refugee status, this would justify cancellation of refugee status on the grounds of exclusion. The reverse is that information casting doubt on the basis on which an individual has been excluded should lead to reconsideration of eligibility for refugee status. Where a refugee engages in conduct falling within Article 1F(a) or 1F(c), this would trigger the application of the exclusion clauses and the revocation of refugee status, provided all the criteria for the application of these clauses are met.
E. Responsibility for determination of exclusion
7. States parties to the 1951 Convention/1967 Protocol and/or OAU Convention and UNHCR need to consider whether the exclusion clauses apply in the context of the determination of refugee status. Paragraph 7(d) of UNHCR's Statute covers similar grounds to Article 1F of the 1951 Convention, although UNHCR officials should be guided by the language of Article 1F, as it represents the later and more specific formulation.
F. Consequences of exclusion
8. Although a State is precluded from granting refugee status pursuant to the 1951 Convention or the OAU Convention to an individual it has excluded, it is not otherwise obliged to take any particular course of action. The State concerned can choose to grant the excluded individual stay on other grounds, but obligations under international law may require that the person concerned be criminally prosecuted or extradited. A decision by UNHCR to exclude someone from refugee status means that that individual can no longer receive protection or assistance from the Office.
9. An excluded individual may still be protected against return to a country where he or she is at risk of ill-treatment by virtue of other international instruments. For example, the 1984 Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment absolutely prohibits the return of an individual to a country where there is a risk that he or she will be subjected to torture. Other international and regional human rights instruments contain similar provisions.
10. Amongst the various international instruments which offer guidance on the scope of these international crimes are the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the four 1949 Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War and the two 1977 Additional Protocols, the Statutes of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the 1945 Charter of the International Military Tribunal (the London Charter), and most recently the 1998 Statute of the International Criminal Court which entered into force on 1 July 2002.
11. According to the London Charter a crime against peace involves the "planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements, or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing". Given the nature of this crime, it can only be committed by those in a high position of authority representing a State or a State-like entity. In practice, this provision has rarely been invoked.
12. Certain breaches of international humanitarian law constitute war crimes. Although such crimes can be committed in both international and non-international armed conflicts, the content of the crimes depends on the nature of the conflict. War crimes cover such acts as wilful killing and torture of civilians, launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians, and wilfully depriving a civilian or a prisoner of war of the rights of fair and regular trial.
13. The distinguishing feature of crimes against humanity, which cover acts such as genocide, murder, rape and torture, is that they must be carried out as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against the civilian population. An isolated act can, however, constitute a crime against humanity if it is part of a coherent system or a series of systematic and repeated acts. Since such crimes can take place in peacetime as well as armed conflict, this is the broadest category under Article 1F(a).
14. This category does not cover minor crimes nor prohibitions on the legitimate exercise of human rights. In determining whether a particular offence is sufficiently serious, international rather than local standards are relevant. The following factors should be taken into account: the nature of the act, the actual harm inflicted, the form of procedure used to prosecute the crime, the nature of the penalty, and whether most jurisdictions would consider it a serious crime. Thus, for example, murder, rape and armed robbery would undoubtedly qualify as serious offences, whereas petty theft would obviously not.
15. A serious crime should be considered non-political when other motives (such as personal reasons or gain) are the predominant feature of the specific crime committed. Where no clear link exists between the crime and its alleged political objective or when the act in question is disproportionate to the alleged political objective, non-political motives are predominant. The motivation, context, methods and proportionality of a crime to its objectives are important factors in evaluating its political nature. The fact that a particular crime is designated as non-political in an extradition treaty is of significance, but not conclusive in itself. Egregious acts of violence, such as acts those commonly considered to be of a "terrorist" nature, will almost certainly fail the predominance test, being wholly disproportionate to any political objective. Furthermore, for a crime to be regarded as political in nature, the political objectives should be consistent with human rights principles.
16. Article 1F(b) also requires the crime to have been committed "outside the country of refuge prior to [the individual's] admission to that country as a refugee". Individuals who commit "serious non-political crimes" within the country of refuge are subject to that country's criminal law process and, in the case of particularly grave crimes, to Articles 32 and 33(2) of the 1951 Convention.
17. Given the broad, general terms of the purposes and principles of the United Nations, the scope of this category is rather unclear and should therefore be read narrowly. Indeed, it is rarely applied and, in many cases, Article 1F(a) or 1F(b) are anyway likely to apply. Article 1F(c) is only triggered in extreme circumstances by activity which attacks the very basis of the international community's coexistence. Such activity must have an international dimension. Crimes capable of affecting international peace, security and peaceful relations between States, as well as serious and sustained violations of human rights, would fall under this category. Given that Articles 1 and 2 of the United Nations Charter essentially set out the fundamental principles States must uphold in their mutual relations, it would appear that in principle only persons who have been in positions of power in a State or State-like entity would appear capable of committing such acts. In cases involving a terrorist act, a correct application of Article 1F(c) involves an assessment as to the extent to which the act impinges on the international plane – in terms of its gravity, international impact, and implications for international peace and security.
18. For exclusion to be justified, individual responsibility must be established in relation to a crime covered by Article 1F. Specific considerations in relation to crimes against peace and acts against the purposes and principles of the UN have been discussed above. In general, individual responsibility flows from the person having committed, or made a substantial contribution to the commission of the criminal act, in the knowledge that his or her act or omission would facilitate the criminal conduct. The individual need not physically have committed the criminal act in question. Instigating, aiding and abetting and participating in a joint criminal enterprise can suffice.
19. The fact that a person was at some point a senior member of a repressive government or a member of an organisation involved in unlawful violence does not in itself entail individual liability for excludable acts. A presumption of responsibility may, however, arise where the individual has remained a member of a government clearly engaged in activities that fall within the scope of Article 1F. Moreover, the purposes, activities and methods of some groups are of a particularly violent nature, with the result that voluntary membership thereof may also raise a presumption of individual responsibility. Caution must be exercised when such a presumption of responsibility arises, to consider issues including the actual activities of the group, its organisational structure, the individual's position in it, and his or her ability to influence significantly its activities, as well as the possible fragmentation of the group. Moreover, such presumptions in the context of asylum proceedings are rebuttable.
20. As for ex-combatants, they should not necessarily be considered excludable, unless of course serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law are reported and indicated in the individual case.
21. Criminal responsibility can normally only arise where the individual concerned committed the material elements of the offence with knowledge and intent. Where the mental element is not satisfied, for example, because of ignorance of a key fact, individual criminal responsibility is not established. In some cases, the individual may not have the mental capacity to be held responsible a crime, for example, because of insanity, mental handicap, involuntary intoxication or, in the case of children, immaturity.
22. Factors generally considered to constitute defences to criminal responsibility should be considered. For example, the defence of superior orders will only apply where the individual was legally obliged to obey the order, was unaware of its unlawfulness and the order itself was not manifestly unlawful. As for duress, this applies where the act in question results from the person concerned necessarily and reasonably avoiding a threat of imminent death, or of continuing or imminent serious bodily harm to him- or herself or another person, and the person does not intend to cause greater harm than the one sought to be avoided. Action in self-defence or in defence of others or of property must be both reasonable and proportionate in relation to the threat.
23. Where expiation of the crime is considered to have taken place, application of the exclusion clauses may no longer be justified. This may be the case where the individual has served a penal sentence for the crime in question, or perhaps where a significant period of time has elapsed since commission of the offence. Relevant factors would include the seriousness of the offence, the passage of time, and any expression of regret shown by the individual concerned. In considering the effect of any pardon or amnesty, consideration should be given to whether it reflects the democratic will of the relevant country and whether the individual has been held accountable in any other way. Some crimes are, however, so grave and heinous that the application of Article 1F is still considered justified despite the existence of a pardon or amnesty.
24. The incorporation of a proportionality test when considering exclusion and its consequences provides a useful analytical tool to ensure that the exclusion clauses are applied in a manner consistent with the overriding humanitarian object and purpose of the 1951 Convention. The concept has evolved in particular in relation to Article 1F(b) and represents a fundamental principle of many fields of international law. As with any exception to a human rights guarantee, the exclusion clauses must therefore be applied in a manner proportionate to their objective, so that the gravity of the offence in question is weighed against the consequences of exclusion. Such a proportionality analysis would, however, not normally be required in the case of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and acts falling under Article 1F(c), as the acts covered are so heinous. It remains relevant, however, to Article 1F(b) crimes and less serious war crimes under Article 1F(a).
G. Particular acts and special cases
25. Despite the lack of an internationally agreed definition of terrorism, acts commonly considered to be terrorist in nature are likely to fall within the exclusion clauses even though Article 1F is not to be equated with a simple anti-terrorism provision. Consideration of the exclusion clauses is, however, often unnecessary as suspected terrorists may not be eligible for refugee status in the first place, their fear being of legitimate prosecution as opposed to persecution for Convention reasons.
26. Of all the exclusion clauses, Article 1F(b) may be particularly relevant as acts of terrorist violence are likely to be disproportionate to any avowed political objective. Each case will require individual consideration. The fact that an individual is designated on a national or international list of terrorist suspects (or associated with a designated terrorist organisation) should trigger consideration of the exclusion clauses but will not in itself generally constitute sufficient evidence to justify exclusion. Exclusion should not be based on membership of a particular organisation alone, although a presumption of individual responsibility may arise where the organisation is commonly known as notoriously violent and membership is voluntary. In such cases, it is necessary to examine the individual's role and position in the organisation, his or her own activities, as well as related issues as outlined in paragraph 19 above.
27. As acts of hijacking will almost certainly qualify as a "serious crime" under Article 1F(b), only the most compelling of circumstances can justify non-exclusion. Acts of torture are prohibited under international law. Depending on the context, they will generally lead to exclusion under Article 1F.
28. The exclusion clauses apply in principle to minors, but only if they have reached the age of criminal responsibility and possess the mental capacity to be held responsible for the crime in question. Given the vulnerability of children, great care should be exercised in considering exclusion with respect to a minor and defences such as duress should in particular be examined carefully. Where UNHCR conducts refugee status determination under its mandate, all such cases should be referred to Headquarters before a final decision is made.
29. Where the main applicant is excluded from refugee status, the dependants will need to establish their own grounds for refugee status. If the latter are recognised as refugees, the excluded individual is not able to rely on the right to family unity in order to secure protection or assistance as a refugee.
30. The exclusion clauses can also apply in situations of mass influx, although in practice the individual screening required may cause operational and practical difficulties. Nevertheless, until such screening can take place, all persons should receive protection and assistance, subject of course to the separation of armed elements from the civilian refugee population.
31. Given the grave consequences of exclusion, it is essential that rigorous procedural safeguards are built into the exclusion determination procedure. Exclusion decisions should in principle be dealt with in the context of the regular refugee status determination procedure and not in either admissibility or accelerated procedures, so that a full factual and legal assessment of the case can be made. The exceptional nature of Article 1F suggests that inclusion should generally be considered before exclusion, but there is no rigid formula. Exclusion may exceptionally be considered without particular reference to inclusion issues (i) where there is an indictment by an international criminal tribunal; (ii) in cases where there is apparent and readily available evidence pointing strongly towards the applicant's involvement in particularly serious crimes, notably in prominent Article 1F(c) cases, and (iii) at the appeal stage in cases where exclusion is the question at issue.
32. Specialised exclusion units within the institution responsible for refugee status determination could be set up to handle exclusion cases to ensure that they are dealt with in an expeditious manner. It may be prudent to defer decisions on exclusion until completion of any domestic criminal proceedings, as the latter may have significant implications for the asylum claim. In general, however, the refugee claim must be determined in a final decision before execution of any extradition order.
33. At all times the confidentiality of the asylum application should be respected. In exceptional circumstances, contact with the country of origin may be justified on national security grounds, but even then the existence of the asylum application should not be disclosed.
34. The burden of proof with regard to exclusion rests with the State (or UNHCR) and, as in all refugee status determination proceedings, the applicant should be given the benefit of the doubt. Where, however, the individual has been indicted by an international criminal tribunal, or where individual responsibility for actions which give rise to exclusion is presumed, as indicated in paragraph 19 of these Guidelines, the burden of proof is reversed, creating a rebuttable presumption of excludability.
35. In order to satisfy the standard of proof under Article 1F, clear and credible evidence is required. It is not necessary for an applicant to have been convicted of the criminal offence, nor does the criminal standard of proof need to be met. Confessions and testimony of witnesses, for example, may suffice if they are reliable. Lack of cooperation by the applicant does not in itself establish guilt for the excludable act in the absence of clear and convincing evidence. Consideration of exclusion may, however, be irrelevant if non-cooperation means that the basics of an asylum claim cannot be established.
36. Exclusion should not be based on sensitive evidence that cannot be challenged by the individual concerned. Exceptionally, anonymous evidence (where the source is concealed) may be relied upon but only where this is absolutely necessary to protect the safety of witnesses and the asylum-seeker's ability to challenge the substance of the evidence is not substantially prejudiced. Secret evidence or evidence considered in camera (where the substance is also concealed) should not be relied upon to exclude. Where national security interests are at stake, these may be protected by introducing procedural safeguards which also respect the asylum-seeker's due process rights.

Manuel Obafemi Akanji (born 19 July 1995) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a defender for  club Manchester City and the Switzerland national team.

Club career

Youth football and early career
Born in Neftenbach, Akanji began his youth career with the local club in Wiesendangen. In May 2007, Akanji changed clubs and was a youth-team player for FC Winterthur, featuring for their Under-18 team and later with their second team. In the 2014–15 Challenge League, he became a regular starter for Winterthur having played two games for them during the second half of the 2013–14 season.

Basel
On 15 April 2015, it was announced that Akanji would transfer to Basel for the 2015–16 Super League season. He made his Swiss Super League debut on 26 September 2015 being substituted in against FC Lugano. Under trainer Urs Fischer, Akanji won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2015–16 Super League season and at the end of the 2016–17 Super League season for the second time. For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship title in total. They also won the Swiss Cup for the twelfth time, which meant they had won the double for the sixth time in the club's history.

As Swiss Champions, Basel qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League and started in the Group stage. Akanji played in all six games over the full 90 minutes and helped the team finish in second group position, thus qualifying for the next round. On 15 January 2018, Basel announced that Akanji had transferred to Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund
Akanji transferred to Borussia Dortmund on 15 January 2018 during the winter transfer window for a reported fee of 18 million euros. He signed a four and a half year contract dated until June 2022. On 27 September, Akanji scored his first goal for the club and his first Bundesliga goal in a 7–0 victory over 1. FC Nürnberg. Akanji was widely criticised for his costly errors during Dortmund's failed challenge to Bayern during the 2019–20 season. Akanji was one of the main players singled out as a weak link in the team.

Manchester City
On 1 September 2022, Akanji joined Premier League champions Manchester City, signing a contract until 2027 for a reported fee of £15 million. He made his debut for City five days later, starting in a 4–0 away win over Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League group stage. He made his Premier League debut on 17 September, starting in a 3–0 away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. He was voted the Etihad player of the month for October.

International career
Akanji made two appearances for the Switzerland U-20 national team. His debut was on 7 September 2014 in the 0–0 draw against the German U-20 national team. From 2014, he was a member of the Switzerland U-21 team and made his debut for them on 26 March in the 0–3 defeat by the Italian U-21 team. Akanji made his debut in the senior team in the 2–0 win against Faroe Islands in the 2018 World Cup qualification match on 9 June 2017. He played the entire 90 minutes. He was included in the Swiss team's 23 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

In May 2019, Akanji played in 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals, where his team finished fourth. In 2021, he was called up to the national team for UEFA Euro 2020.

Akanji scored his first senior international goal against Spain in a 2–1 UEFA Nations League victory on 24 September 2022.

Akanji scored the only goal for the Switzerland national team in a 6–1 loss to Portugal in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on 7 December 2022.

Personal life
Akanji was born in Neftenbach, Switzerland to a Swiss mother and a Nigerian father. He has two sisters, one of which (Sarah) is a football player and politician for the Social Democrats.

In 2017, already a professional player, he completed his vocational training as a tradesman (″Kaufmann″). In Swiss TV in 2018 he showed excellent skills at mental calculation.

Griffin says decision to remain with Clippers a "no-brainer"
LOS ANGELES (AP) Blake Griffin was back in his usual place, front and center on a Clippers stage.
After opting out of his contract, Griffin didn't spend the offseason toiling over whether to sign with another team - like his teammate DeAndre Jordan famously did. For Griffin, it was an easy decision to sign a max five-year deal to stay with the only NBA team he's played for in his seven-year career.
Griffin, 28, is undoubtedly the star of the Clippers with Chris Paul gone in the trade with the Rockets that sent Pat Beverley to Los Angeles.
Griffin said he and Paul talked about his decision to want to leave the Clippers.
For the Clippers, the prospect of Griffin leaving as well made for a nervous stretch but it didn't last long. Griffin quickly made a decision to re-sign for about $175 million. Doc Rivers avoided a possible rebuilding effort.
Griffin, the No. 1-overall pick in 2010, is the only player to reach the 10,000 career point mark all in a Clippers uniform. He pointed to the organization's plan, ownership, coaching staff and roster as reasons to return.
Last year, Griffin averaged 21.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists. He's dealt with injuries throughout his career and is rehabbing from a toe injury. He's expected to be ready by training camp.
Los Angeles also suits Griffin and all of his non-basketball ventures. So his summer wasn't filled with meetings with other teams. He canceled those after he met with the Clippers.

Q: PL/SQL: ORA-12704: character set mismatch when insert varchar2 to nvarchar2 I try to populate a table TBL in a loop. And get ORA-12704: character set mismatch on a subquery.
Here is a query I use:
BEGIN
  FOR i IN (SELECT t.Stuff FROM STUFF_TABLE t ORDER BY t.Name ASC)
  LOOP
  INSERT INTO TBL(StuffId, StuffName)
          VALUES(
            i.Stuff,
            (SELECT TempStuffName FROM
                (SELECT COALESCE(st.StuffName, i.Stuff) as TempStuffName FROM STUFFDEFINITION st WHERE st.Stuff = i.Stuff ORDER BY st.Version DESC)
             WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
          );
  END LOOP;
END;

The columns types are the following:
STUFF_TABLE.Stuff nvarchar2(30)
TBL.StuffId nvarchar2(30)
TBL.StuffName nvarchar2(50)
STUFFDEFINITION.Stuff varchar2(255)
STUFFDEFINITION.StuffName varchar2(255)

The issue, as I understand it, is in type casting namely from varchar2(255) to nvarchar2(50).
I tried to use CAST, Translate functions, but it didn't help. The ORA-12704: character set mismatch still occurs.
Is there a way to populate TBL in a loop as I try it to do?
Below is the test data to reproduce issue I talk about:
CREATE TABLE STUFF_TABLE
(
  Stuff nvarchar2(30),
  Name nvarchar2(50)
);

CREATE TABLE TBL
(
  StuffId nvarchar2(30),
  StuffName nvarchar2(50)
);

CREATE TABLE STUFFDEFINITION
(
  Stuff varchar2(255),
  StuffName varchar2(255),
  Version number(19)
)

INSERT INTO STUFF_TABLE(Stuff, Name) VALUES('First', 'Name1');
INSERT INTO STUFF_TABLE(Stuff, Name) VALUES('Second', 'Name2');
INSERT INTO STUFF_TABLE(Stuff, Name) VALUES('Third', 'Name3');

INSERT INTO STUFFDEFINITION(Stuff, StuffName, Version) VALUES('First', 'First Stuff', 1);
INSERT INTO STUFFDEFINITION(Stuff, StuffName, Version) VALUES('First', 'First Stuff', 2);
INSERT INTO STUFFDEFINITION(Stuff, StuffName, Version) VALUES('Second', 'Second Stuff', 1);
INSERT INTO STUFFDEFINITION(Stuff, StuffName, Version) VALUES('Third', 'Third Stuff', 1);

A: From your statement its clear that you are joining a varchar2 column with nvarchar2 and inserting a varchar2 column to a nvarchar2 column. You need to do a conversion first. Try this:
BEGIN
  FOR i IN (SELECT t.Stuff FROM STUFF_TABLE t ORDER BY t.Name ASC)
  LOOP
  INSERT INTO TBL(StuffId, StuffName)
          VALUES(
                 i.Stuff,
                    (SELECT to_nchar(TempStuffName)
                       FROM
                        (SELECT COALESCE(to_nchar(st.StuffName), i.Stuff) as TempStuffName
                         FROM STUFFDEFINITION st
                         WHERE to_nchar(st.Stuff) = i.Stuff
                         ORDER BY st.Version DESC)
                     WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
               );
  END LOOP;
END;

A: You shouldn't need to use PL/SQL:
INSERT INTO TBL ( StuffId, StuffName )
SELECT TO_NCHAR( t.stuff ),
       TO_NCHAR(
         COALESCE(
           MAX( d.StuffName ) KEEP ( DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY d.version ),
           t.stuff
         )
       )
FROM   StuffTable t
       LEFT OUTER JOIN StuffDefinition d
       ON ( t.stuff = TO_NCHAR( d.stuff ) )
GROUP BY t.stuff;

A: Oracle says this about that error: 'A string expression in the VALUES clause of an INSERT statement does not have the same character set as the column into which the value would be inserted.'
Please select from nls_database_parameters and tell me what the values of these are:
NLS_CHARACTERSET
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

Bookstore serves community one book at a time
By Leroy Triggs
AURORA, Neb. (KSNB) - Although the holiday season is behind us, people can still make an impact on their community no matter the distance.
Susan's Books and Gifts serves the central Nebraska community by donating books to schools, jails, pastors, and any organization that needs them.
All the books in the bookstore have been donated and are sold for $2. They also offset travel expenses on gas by discounting customers 10 cents for every mile.
"We strongly believe that books change lives, no mater if someone brings us a whole truckload of books, or if someone else brings us just one book," said owner of Susan's Books and Gifts, Susan Williams. "The one book that someone brought still might hold the one paragraph, with the one sentence, with the one thought, that changes someone's entire life, and we believe that wholeheartedly."
Susan says the joy she sees when customers finds a quality book at a convenient price is her passion. Susan and her husband Stu own the bookstore.
Susan is a former teacher and her husband currently teaches anatomy and physiology at Central Community College in Grand Island.
Customers have traveled from cities such as Lincoln, Omaha, and Columbus to donate and shop for books at Susan's Books and Gifts. The donations that Susan's does has been in blood since the very beginning.
"We have all 20 years given books away, and that was from the background of both of our parents being in different organizations that did things for people," said Susan. "My parents put books along the interstate here, ingraining in us that books that are purchased in these gas stations will change someone's life, if they've opened the book they buy at midnight."
Susan says people have came from as far as Sioux City to donate to the store. She has also seen all ranges of emotional attachment to books come through her store.
"Every spectrum of emotion walks through this door, and it's like a portal where they realize, this is a really special place," said Susan. "They don't realize, the words on the wall, but they do realize on these walls are millions of words, and they may be one sentence that changes your life."
On the walls in Susan's Books and Gifts the words "Life is beautiful" is written in several different languages. There is also a poem about a mother's love for her child on the opposite wall.
Susan says it's amazing that people want a place to take their books and to be apart of something special. Some have seen the impact of the store first hand.
"One young man came in and he was about ten years old and I told him he could get a free book," said volunteer Barb Micek. "His free book was a bible, and he said he'd never read a bible before. Susan has always said one book can change someone's life."
Barb says she doesn't think Susan realizes how many lives she has changed with simply giving a book. Susan also gives to York Women's prison, they usually get books on parenting and self motivation.

'Closed' global capital market provides direct access to private capital fund managers
The Project Finance Exchange (PFX) which opened in April this year has rapidly grown to over $30bn aggregate capital available from private capital funds ready to provide project financing to construction and energy projects worldwide. Across the entire construction and energy industries, there is one common denominator, the financing. But there is also one financing structure that can be accessed by all construction and energy projects, which is 'project finance'. The perception persists that project finance is still the exclusive domain of mega-dollar infrastructure and major construction projects, which was the case up until two decades ago. From that point on it has grown and evolved so that it can now fund deal values of $5m to $5bn across all construction and energy sectors, worldwide.
Critically, the core feature of all those mega-dollar deals remains, in that lending is predicated on the track record and financial stability of whoever is contracted to buy the output from the built project, the 'off-taker', and not on forecasts in a business plan. From a construction standpoint, it means whoever the Operations and Management Agreement (OMA) is with. For energy, the track record and financial stability requirements apply to whoever the project has its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with. For both construction and energy the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor also needs to meet the same track record and financial stability criteria as the 'off-taker'.
This unique structure provides the risk-mitigated long-term returns that private investors seek, making private debt the preferred structure for project financings.
It also leaves the project principals be they simply a team, a private company or government department, free and clear of any financial liability whatsoever. Genuine project finance is completely 'non-recourse'.
Project financing is provided overwhelmingly by private capital lenders including hedge funds, private equity and debt funds, alternative investment funds, investment banks, family offices and many other sources. Eurekahedge claims there are almost 27,000 of these private capital funds, worldwide. PFX, using asset allocation data from the Cap-Gemini World Wealth Report 2020, calculates $20.35tn of private capital ready to be allocated into real estate and alternative investments, but publish a more conservative estimate of $2tn.
PFX Chairman David Rose said: "As the project finance market has evolved and grown over the past two decades the misguided perception that it is only for huge, mega-dollar projects has persisted, so it has fallen down the list of financing options for construction projects. But now, with thousands of private lenders, and thousands of capital raising projects at any one time it's become a genuine, global capital market which the construction and energy industries can access at any time. The exponential growth of the market led to it becoming fragmented and opaque, but PFX has now created a structured interface through which projects and funders can seamlessly connect and engage. It's important to emphasise that PFX is a 'closed' market and no identifying information on either projects or funds can be accessed by the public domain."
In closing, Rose said: "There are no borders with project finance. At PFX we have a UK fund pursuing a $200m social housing project in Brazil, a Dubai fund progressing a $200m coal-to-fuel plant in the USA and an Indian/US fund in discussion with a $575m urban transit project in S. Korea. We expect to announce our first deal closings by Q3 or Q4 this year. It's free for projects to list on PFX with all listings quality controlled by our Regional Managers. Funders register free with completion commission terms reflecting established market rates."

TIP! When you have back pain, lay with your knees and hips at an angle of about 90 degrees. This position takes pressure away from your back muscles more efficiently than sitting.
Growing numbers of individuals suffer from back discomfort, and if you happen to be among them, you likely want to do everything you can to free yourself from discomfort. There are some efficient solutions you should try. This article will share a few of those tips with you.
TIP! When engaging in household chores such as vacuuming or mopping floors, resist the inclination to slouch. Vacuuming is a good example because you are constantly pushing and reaching.
People sometimes have to endure much pain before they are able to see a specialist for their back pain. If you suffer from a serious back injury, such as a ruptured disc, you can experience the most comfort by laying on your back, with it flat, while you also bend your knees. The muscles and tendons that go from your back down through your legs have less tension when you lay this way.
TIP! If back injuries are something that you are prone to getting, either through genetics or lifestyle choices, make sure you see the chiropractor on a regular basis, even before the onset of pain. A chiropractor will be able to notice what is wrong before you do, and fix it before it develops into something more serious.
Some fitness regimens are very effective at reducing back injuries and the pain associated with them. For instance, yoga promotes flexibility that helps you avoid straining your muscles unnecessarily. On the other hand, some exercises focus on the core, helping take the burden off the back when lifting or other such activities.
TIP! When people are moving things around in a hurry, they often try to lift items that are much too far away. People attempt to do this all of the time because the want to save time.
To assess the severity of an injured back and prevent further straining or tearing, give yourself a couple days of rest after the pain begins. If the pain goes away in those first few days, you are probably going to be fine. However, continuing or worsening back pain should prompt you to see a doctor and ascertain the root of the problem. You may make your condition worse by resting too much, do not stay inactive for more than two days, as this can can muscles to atrophy more than they already have.
TIP! Make a conscious decision to sleep in a good position. It might not be comfortable to sleep in this position, but it's ideal to sleep on your back.
A great back-pain-related tip to use is to act preemptively if at all possible. If you have a predisposition to back discomfort in your family, or if you're at higher risk of back injury due to your lifestyle, you should see a chiropractor for some periodic adjustments. Seeing a chiropractor regularly can help you to fix small problems before they snowball into more serious injuries.
TIP! If you haven't had success with any of the back pain treatments you've tried, you may want to consider having an adjustment done by a chiropractor. Your chiropractor will help you find the best plan for your pain, and will likely x-ray you to be sure you don't require further intervention.
In order to prevent back pain, one of the best things that you can do is to never lift a box without knowing what is inside of it. If you do not know what is inside, it can be something to heavy and injure your back. Don't risk your back health by assuming you know how heavy something is according to the picture or label on the box.
TIP! Use both cold and heat to alleviate back pain. An ice pack can be used to reduce localized pain and inflammation.
Sometimes we need to pick up something that is not that close to us. People take these shortcuts often and daily. You have to ensure you move physically closer to far away objects, and that you do things the correct way.
TIP! Always keep good posture. Keep the back straight, feet on the floor, and elbows at the sides.
It is said that approximately two out of three people will suffer from back discomfort. Many people believe that back discomfort occurs as a result of one event that takes place directly before the pain begins. In many cases, it is the last portion of a line of events that led to the pain.
TIP! Stretching can have a very therapeutic affect on back pain, and doing so while the muscles are already warmed up is even better. After exercising, stretch well during cool-down time.
Contrary to what many people believe, it is crucial that people who suffer from back pain exercise often. People with back discomfort may feel that exercise will make their pain worse, but therapeutic exercise is extremely helpful. Stretching your back muscles can help things relax and feel better.
TIP! For some people who have back pain, they should look in their ashtray. Smoking affects circulation and contributes to the degeneration of spinal discs.
One good way to avoid back pain is to avoid situations that cause back spasms. Some of the things that cause back spasms are lack of sodium, lack of sleep, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine and stress. If a back spasm occurs, apply heat and rest to avoid further damage.
TIP! Stiffness from back pain can be improved by stretching other muscles and the hamstrings. Because of the spread-out nature of your back muscles, a sore back can cause your entire body to hurt.
Be mindful of your posture, no matter whether you are standing or sitting. See to it that your back is straight and your feet are firmly on the floor with one foot in front, and be sure that your elbows are at your side as you type. Make sure you are neither looking down nor craning your neck to see your computer screen.
TIP! Get a massage done for yourself. Many times back pain can be greatly relieved by a knowledgeable therapist.
Even if your back is in pain right now, you now know that there's a way for you to get relief. Take advantage of the tried and tested methods contained here and start lessening the pain in your back. By implementing these tips you can effectively manage your back pain.

Q: javascript return with jQuery.get() not working I am trying to make a link work if a condition is true for which I am sending a jQuery.get()  and checking if the link should jump to the next page or not.
I am using the following code for it:

<a href="<c:url value="/submit" />" onclick="return checkDoubleSubmit();">check double submit

Even if data is not null the page is jumping to the next page.
Could someone help me understand what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks.

A: That's because ajax call is asynchronous. it wont wait for ajax response. for that either include async = fasle in ajax call. or change the preventDefault.
or change the code as below
<a href="#" id="mylink" for="<c:url value="/submit" />" onclick="checkDoubleSubmit();">check double submit

A: You are never actually returning any true/false value from your checkDoubleSubmit function.  Your return statements are only returning to the anonymous function being used by jq.get.
You could do something like this:

However, this will only get you started.  See dku's answer for why, and then see How can I get jQuery to perform a synchronous, rather than asynchronous, Ajax request? for details on how to implement it.

A: checkDoubleSubmit() does not return a value, regardless of what you get with get(). The execution of checkDoubleSubmit() ends before you get AJAX data through get() as it's an asynchronous call. You won't get success with handling it this way.
One way to do that would be returning false ALWAYS from checkDoubleSubmit(), and then, in the callback function from get(), if the data is OK and you want the submit to go through, submit the form by JavaScript again, this time without any checks so that it submits right away.

A: I got this working using the following code:

<a href="<c:url value="/submit" />" onclick="return checkDoubleSubmit(this);">check double submit


This was originally just done as a product photo for a company who was advertising on VioletLebeaux.com but the staging was just so nice that I decided to play around with it in photoshop and try to make it look a little bit older and glamorous. I guess I wanted people to wonder about the girl attached to the hand. The handle she's holding onto is both a door and a window, so viewers could let their minds wander and imagine her looking out the window with longing or leaving somewhere for the first and last time. It's up to them and I think that's the fun part.


To I had a difficult time with the hands and the expression on Chibiusa's face. Any other suggestions on how she should be holding the holy moon chalice or just helping with rendering the fingers more elegantly/feminine would be nice. Or shading suggestions for skintones. It looks rather flat. Thanks!
Done with Watercolor (cotmans cuz I really need to use them up anyway) and white Acrylic paint.
Okay so this picture isnt as nice as my recent Elsa picture, but it still looks okay. Like the Neo Queen Serenity picture I did earlier, I put both the Moon and Earth for Chibiusa, but as crescents to symbolize a new beginning (the cycle continues and all that jazz). Of course I could have gone with Princess of the Future, but where is the fun in that?
Also another thing I want to point out the Holy Chalice is referencing the Infinity arc of sailor moon supers: Chibiusa always wanted her own "Holy Moon Chalice" to be like her mom. At first I was going to go with a "Chibiusa is the princess of creativity" which is partially true because she likes drawing and such, but she's more of a day dreamer and less ...LET THE PAINT HIT THE FLOOR!
I took a shot at correcting this for Improvement-Club!
Aaaaww~! Beautiful!!! Her hands look fine -she's young, so it's okay!
This is really lovely ^.^ I'm sorry I can't give you any advice for the hands, I'm hopeless at critiques, I'm still learning all of these things myself :').
Loving that effect with the Moon and Earth.
I'm also in love with her dress. I'm not too sure what you wanted the effect to be (I'm terrible with words, sorry ), but the way it looks - the top is light and the bottom/skirt is dark... Wow.
very pretty. I bet you worked hard on that!
Thanks! I'm glad you think so.
Beautiful dreams, indeed! I love the crescent moon and earth. Good job!
I like how it's a crescent in a crescent (moon and earth together also create a crescent).
But why'd you give her the Holy Grail rather then the 'Stallion Rêve' ( ai-no-senshi.net/gallery/caps/… & ai-no-senshi.net/media/caps-ga… & wikimoon.org/index.php?title=S… & sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Stal… )?
Eh it was trying to reference more in the series rather than just one arc. Also I had started watercoloring this project, before you brought up the "stallion reve" or "Twinkle Bell".
The "Stallion Reve" and "Twinkle Bell" are two different items.
The Stallion Rêve would have been better, as a reference to the title.
Probably. As I said, oh well....better luck next time. Also, this was the picture I originally was going to call chibiusa "Princess of Creativity" remember?
As for Mars, "Princess of Spirituality" or "Princess of Divination" or "Princess of Meditation" are good ideas for the title for her picture. What ideas for the title are you pondering?
This is amazingly beautiful!!! I love it sooooo much!!
Yay! I'm glad someone likes it.

Microsoft Edge Canary can now generate QR codes to share links with mobile devices
March 6, 2021 April 24, 2020 by Rabia Noureen
Microsoft has introduced a new feature in the Microsoft Edge Canary channel to make it easier to share web pages from a PC to a mobile device. Thanks a new built-in QR code generator, a feature that required an extension in the legacy Edge, the new Edge browser now lets you generate QR codes directly from a website (via Softpedia.)
If you are interested to play around with this feature, there are a couple of ways you can use it. Those who are running the latest version of Microsoft Edge Canary can use the QR code icon (shown below) in their address bar. When clicked, the icon generates a QR code for the website opened on your screen. You can then either scan the code on your mobile device or download it to share it with someone else.
Notably, the feature is gradually rolling out so there is a possibility that you may not see it right away. However, the QR code generator is hiding under a dedicated flag in your web browser and can be enabled by heading over to edge://flags/#sharing-qr-code-generator.
At the moment, there is no ETA for this feature to go live in the Stable channel. However, it shouldn't be long before this new capability becomes available in the Dev channel.
