Жюль Жоффрен () — станция линии 12 Парижского метрополитена, расположенная в XVIII округе Парижа. Названа в честь депутата Национальной ассамблеи Франции и консула XVIII округа Парижа Жюля Жоффрена. Рядом со станцией находятся церковь Нотр-Дам-де-Клиньянкур и администрация XVIII округа.

История
 Станция открылась 31 октября 1912 года в конце пускового участка Пигаль — Жюль Жоффрен. До 23 августа 1916 года, когда открылось продление до станции Порт-де-ля-Шапель, станция была конечной на линии А компании Север-Юг (с 1931 года — линия 12 Парижского метрополитена). .
 Пассажиропоток по станции по входу в 2011 году, по данным RATP, составил  человек. В 2013 году этот показатель вырос до  пассажиров (106 место по уровню входного пассажиропотока в Парижском метро)

Путевое развитие
К востоку от станции располагается пошёрстный съезд.

Quarterbacks Gone Wild
I gotta say, I approve of this Derek Anderson rant. Anderson was caught laughing by cameras while his Cardinals were getting handled on Monday. I understand why Anderson laughing pisses fans off, and Anderson shouldn't have denied it. Roy Williams has the annoying habit of smiling every time he does something stupid. But I'm not clear that laughing/smiling says anything about what's happening on the field. Besides, I'm partial to all white people named "Derek."

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island
Santa Cruz Island is the island most fly-in tourists (from Quito, Ecuador) use as their home base, and its port, Puerto Ayora, presents the prettiest face in the Galápagos. Puerto Ayora has the most modern infrastructure, a bustling waterfront complete with hotels, a well designed and lit tourist dock where water taxis pick up and deposit their fares, and many galleries featuring local art/crafts alongside the souvenir shops. Some restaurants feature foods not typical to the islands in which artful presentation is a factor in their preparation. (Eating out at most restaurants in the Galápagos is like showing up at someone's house at meal time and being given a plate of home-cooked food.)
Anchorage at Puerto Ayora: view from town
The fish market in downtown Puerto Ayora has an interesting customer
Puerto Ayora also has a night life that is not wholly designed around tourists. On Saturday night, you can find much of the citizenry out enjoying themselves in the open air. Couples and families are out walking in the streets or dining in restaurants. A favorite gathering place for youth is the cement sports field along the waterfront (used for organized sports like volleyball at other times) which is transformed into a skate park on Saturday nights. Older youth congregate in small groups around the fringes of the skate park or can be found draped over the kiosk on the water taxi dock, absorbed in their laptops.
While the port is cheerful and colorful, the anchorage in Academy Bay is crowded and rolly. The anchorage is open to the southerly swell. There are some lava reefs extending out into the harbor (though not nearly as many as on Isabela), and you can't anchor too close to shore for that reason. One advantage to the rolly anchorage is that you won't lose your sea legs while in port! We were lucky enough to arrive at a less crowded time and were able to find a decent spot to anchor; however, more boats arriving after our initial days in Santa Cruz left me wondering where we would anchor if we were just arriving. We had read that many people use a stern anchor in Academy Bay, and we found this to be good advice. We put out a stern anchor which helped significantly with the rolling. Be prepared to clean your bottom after leaving Academy Bay, because a healthy layer of slime (algae) will grow along the waterline (at least at this time of year).
We arrived at Puerto Ayora just before five p.m. and after anchoring, we tried to call our agent on the VHF to see if we would check in that day or the next morning. We received no response and decided to wait until the next morning. We called again the next morning and still received no response, so we water-taxied in and walked to the agent's office. We found no one there, but a kind neighbor told us the secretary was at the bank and would be back shortly. We took a walking tour of town to get the lay of the land and returned when the secretary was back. This time, both the secretary and a representative of our agent were in the office. (Our actual agent was on Baltra.) The agent's representative---Santiago---was the most helpful and business-like representative we dealt with from the agent's office, including the agent himself. Santiago arranged for us to check in. Later that afternoon, the Port Captain and a staff member from his office met Santiago and us at the boat. We were told they would need to inspect the vessel, but they were satisfied with the answers to some preliminary questions we had given to Santiago. These questions focused on a gear list and the number of people on board. The Port Captain of Puerto Ayora at this time is a friendly, personable individual; indeed, he is the only official we met who has made us feel welcome in the Galápagos.
Port Captain's office, Puerto Ayora
There is a lot to see and do locally in Puerto Ayora, and we missed some of the best marine sites (Bahia Tortuga and Punta Estrada) due to our limited amount of time here. However, a wonderful memory was visiting Las Grietas, a local hangout and swimming hole created by a fissure in the volcanic rock. During our hike to Las Grietas, we were passed by group of school children visiting the island from mainland Ecuador. These kids were from the big city of Quito and didn't get exposed to the outdoors a lot. The hot hike over the lava rocks was challenging for some of them, but when they got to the swimming hole, they had a ball. Although our solitude and visibility for snorkeling were interrupted, we couldn't help but enjoy the shrieks and laughter of the happy children.

Children and travelers enjoying Las Grietas
Our noisy group also interrupted the solitude of a native swimmer at Las Grietas, a young man in his teens or early twenties. However, this Santa Cruz islander thrilled us all with daring feats of cliff jumping from the rocks surrounding the fissure. (I got video, but probably won't have a connection fast enough to upload it.) The children were in awe and quickly followed suit by jumping off rocks proportional to their own size and skill level.

January 2015: A trip to the National Archives, College Park, Maryland yielded more than 470 pages of material pertaining to the Jefferson nickel contest and the coin in general. The documents were part of Record Group 104, Records of the U. S. Mint. The material has been digitized and organized into a single PDF document that is available upon request. A summary document is available for viewing to give an idea of the scope of the content.
March 2015: A trip to the National Archives, Washington, D.C. yielded more than 80 pages of material pertaining to the Jefferson nickel competition. The documents were part of Record Group 66, Records of the Commission of Fine Arts. The material has been digitized and organized into a single PDF document that is available upon request. A summary document is available for viewing to give an idea of the scope of the content.
Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the notion of honoring prominent American political figures in both memorials and on monetary tokens was adopted by various administrations. At least in terms of the coinage, the act was seen as a "coming out" of the United States as it ascended on to the international stage and its currency became broadly embraced.
The Buffalo nickel was initially distributed in 1913. Reviewing closely the language of the 25 Year Rule noting that designs shall survive for "twenty-five years from and including the year of the first adoption" it is clear that James Earl Fraser's design lost legislative protection in 1937; not 1938 as is commonly reported. Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR) was inaugurated for his second term in January of 1937, and had the option of both the one and five-cent pieces to modify without an act of congress. Lincoln's portrait had been on the penny since 1909 and a design change of this coin would likely have been very unpopular. Thus the nickel was his only real option to alter if he chose.
The idea of changing the nickel may have originated in March 1936 with the Baltimore Coin Club. The April 1936 issue of The Numismatist contains text from a letter drafted by the Baltimore Coin Club to Senator Tydings of Maryland. The correspondence points out that 1937 marked the year that the design of the nickel could be altered without special act of Congress and offers that Grover Cleveland should grace one side of the coin.
Politics more than anything seem to be at the root of the selection of Thomas Jefferson to adorn U.S. coinage. Had Republicans been in office during the 1930's the face of the nickel might just as easily be Ulysses S. Grant or Theodore Roosevelt. The Democrats were in power though and Jefferson, as father of their party and great champion of the common man, was the statesman they sought to honor.
A series of papers from mid to late January 1938 provide some of the puzzle pieces necessary to construct a time line leading to the Jefferson nickel's birth. The earliest official documentation found to date is an entry from Henry Morgenthau's diaries dated January 11, 1938.
In a group meeting, assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Wayne C. Taylor raised the issue of a Jefferson nickel in a very brief exchange. Secretary Morgenthau not only confirms the approval to proceed with the Jefferson nickel national competition, but also suggests that the Lincoln penny was at least considered for replacement.
By Monday, January 17, 1938 the Section of Painting & Sculpture had been engaged to oversee the contest. A letter from Edward Bruce, Chief of the Section, to Assistant Director of the Mint, Mary O'Reilly, "confirm[s] the arrangement which we made to hold a national competition for the new five-cent coin." This implies that sometime during the latter half of the week of January 10, 1938 the Mint was notified of the intent to put the beloved Buffalo out to pasture and instructed to work with the Section to initiate the competition.
A few days later, on January 20th, Superintendent of the Section of Painting & Sculpture, Edward Rowan would provide Ms. O'Reilly with a draft of the "Form Announcement" that would be issued alongside the official press release declaring a "National Competition for [the] New Design for [the] Five Cent Coin Open to All American Sculptors." The press release indicated that it should be released to the afternoon newspapers on January 25, 1938.
The next piece of hard evidence that grants insight into the nickel's blueprint again comes from the diaries of Henry Morgenthau. The record is from the January 24, 1938 group meeting and is one of the most telling of all documents located to date. An exchange between Morgenthau, Treasury public relations officer, Henry Gaston; acting Director of the Bureau of the Budget, Danny Bell; and General Counsel of the Treasury, Herman Oliphant focused on the five cent piece.
A review of FDR's daily calendar confirms that a cabinet meeting was held on January 6, 1938; just a few days prior to Morgenthau's group meeting in which Wayne Taylor first raised the subject of the nickel. The next cabinet meeting was not held until January 14, and records confirm that Morgenthau was not in attendance.
This means that the most probable cabinet meeting where the approval for the Jefferson nickel was obtained was the January 6th gathering; FDR's first of 1938. Unfortunately, archivists at the Roosevelt library have confirmed that there exist no minutes from FDR's cabinet meetings which could be drawn on to validate this theory.
For lack of any other verifiable evidence, it seems safe to posit that the Jefferson nickel was conceived by Henry Morgenthau, with some input from at least Danny Bell, in the days just prior to FDR's January 6, 1938 cabinet meeting where it was ultimately approved.
A detailed account of activities leading up to the birth of the Jefferson Nickel, entitled The Path to the Jefferson Nickel, was originally published in the November 2015 issue of The Numismatist.
The United States Treasury announced in January 1938 the open competition for the design of the new five-cent coin to be called the "Jefferson nickel." Multiple newspapers across the nation carried an Associated Press (AP) article indicating the contest notice was officially released on January 25, 1938. During this same time, The Treasury Department Art Projects (TDAP) released Bulletin #14, reporting to the public its activities for the period of July 1937 - January 1938. Inside this pamphlet, the competition for a new U.S. coin was found on page 3. Presumably, this is the release the AP reported on. Prospective participants were strongly encouraged to request the detailed form announcement before commencing work on the coin design. According to a March 28, 1938 AP report, the "contest instructions were sent to nearly 8,000 persons."
Below is a selection of clippings from January 1938 - February 1939 covering the announcement of the contest, the proclamation of the winner, commentary on the design, and the release of the coin.

On January 26, 1938, a day after the competition was formally announced, Josef Israels of Radio Newsreel sent a telegram to Director of the Mint, Nellie Tayloe Ross requesting an interview on January 30. Over the coming days, numerous telegrams were exchanged to coordinate the event. The interviewers, Parks Johnson and Wally Butterworth would broadcast from New York and Nellie Ross would participate from Washington, D.C.
The Energine Radio Newsreel with Parks Johnson and Wally Butterworth was a weekly broadcast on the NBC Red Network originating from New York every Sunday from 3:00 - 3:30 PM EST. Below is a transcript of the broadcast that was located with in the radio archives at the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, an audio recording of the show has not been located.
JEFFERSON NICKEL WILL REPLACE FAMILIAR BUFFALO!
ANNOUNCER: The United States law governing coinage provides that we may have a new nickel every twenty-five years – and this is the year. It was back in 1913 that the now familiar buffalo first adorned our five cent pieces. Now it is to be replaced by a new Jefferson nickel, honoring our third President, the man who drafted the Declaration of Independence and the founder of what is now known as the Democratic party. Heading the committee that will select the design for the Jefferson nickel is Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Director of the Mint, who will speak from Washington.
Could you tell us, Mrs. Ross, how many Buffalo nickels have been coined during this past twenty-five years?
ANNOUNCER: Thank you, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, for this interview. We'll all be watching for those bright new nickels.
The Treasury Department, Procurement Division, Section of Painting and Sculpture invites competition for designs for a new five cent coin to be known as the "Jefferson Nickel." This competition is open to all American sculptors.
Prospective competitors are herewith warned that there are specific legal and other conditions which must be accurately complied with in carrying out a model for a coin competition. It is, therefore, of first importance that before taking any further steps in this competition the competitor should write to the Section of Painting and Sculpture for a statement of the legal requirements affecting the designing of United States coins.
The sum of $1,000 is to be paid to the winner of the competition. The sculptor whose designs win will be required to execute a formal contract with the Treasury Department agreeing, among other things, to make any revisions required by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The models should not be signed. They should be accompanied by a plain, sealed envelope, enclosing the sculptor's name and address. These envelopes will be carefully numbered when received with the same number as the designs they accompany and will remain unopened until after selection of the best designs.
The conditions stated herein are part of the detailed instructions (regarding subject matter, size of model, coinage rules, etc.,) which will be found in the Form Announcement that every artist may secure on request. For this reason each prospective competitor is again advised that before entering the competition he MUST secure a FORM ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE COMPETITION WILL TERMINATE APRIL 15, 1938.
The competition requirements are that a sculptor entering the competition must submit two plaster models, one representing the obverse and one the reverse of the coin.
The sum of $1,000 is to be paid to the winner. Thesculptor whose designs win the competition will be required to execute a formal contract with the Treasury Department, agreeing to make any revisions required by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The models should not be signed. They should be accompanied by a plain, sealed envelope, enclosing the sculptor's name and address. These envelopes will be carefully numbered when received with the same number as the designs they accompany and will remain unopened unless they conform strictly with the foregoing conditions.
Any sculptor may submit as many designs as he desires. Should he submit more than one set of designs he should remember to send a sealed envelope with his address with each entry.
The subject matter must contain on the obverse of the coin an authentic portrait of Thomas Jefferson. On the reverse side the subject matter will be a representation of Monticello, Jefferson's historic home near Charlottesville. In addition to the words required by law to appear on the coin, the coin may contain the inscription "MONTICELLO," in order to identify the architecture. The coinage laws require that there shall appear upon the obverse side of the coin the word "LIBERTY" and the date "1938," and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and the denomination "FIVE CENTS." The coin should also contain the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." None of the legends are to be abbreviated and should be all in capital letters.
Neither the United States of America nor any officer, agency, agents, or employee thereof shall be liable to the sculptor for the use by any person of any idea, plan, or design, expressed or executed by the sculptor in connection with the work.
Competitors are invited to participate in this competition subject to the condition, in view of the provisions of the laws of the United States, that any and all sketches, designs, molds, models, and the like, made by them in connection with such competition, whether or not submitted, be delivered to the committee by not later than April 15, 1938 so that they may be ultimately delivered to a representative of the Treasury Department for destruction or such other disposition as the Department may see fit to make of them.
The Treasury Department shall be under no obligation to show, exhibit, or preserve the work of any sculptor.
The models in order to be acceptable to the Treasury Department must be of plaster and should not exceed 8½ inches in diameter and should be executed in such a manner as to be suitable for coinage purposes. The background or field should have a slight radius, that is, the background must curve slightly from the center to meet the edge of the coin or border. A model with an absolutely flat background would be practically impossible to coin. The extreme depth of relief from the border to the deepest part should not exceed 5/32 of an inch and the highest part of the design should be kept slightly under the level of the border.
The competition will terminate April 15th, on which date the models should have been delivered, carrying charges prepaid, to the Section of Painting and Sculpture, Procurement Division, Treasury Department, Washington, D.C.
If no designs are submitted which are of sufficient merit to justify an acceptance, no contract will be awarded as a result of this competition. Photographs of a front and side view of Monticello are available and may be obtained by writing to the Section of Painting and Sculpture.
In April of 1938, Edward Bruce (left), Director, Section of Painting and Sculpture, and Nellie Tayloe Ross (right), Director of the Mint, reviewed the plaster models submitted by the April 15th deadline. Sculptors, Sidney Waugh, Albert Stewart, and Heinz Warneke assisted in the judging and selection process.
Catalog information at the National Archives, College Park confirms a total of 398 indexed entries from at least 337 unique artists and sculptors. There were no less than 799 individual plasters depicting designs for obverses and reverses of the coin to review. The majority of the competitors submitted a single model pairing (front and back); however, fourteen artists sent in additional models (multiple obverses and reverses) for consideration as part of a single indexed submission. Of these fourteen, eleven turned in just one additional plaster, two submitted two extra models, and one artist chose to send eight supplementary plasters for review. Four artists chose to submit just a single plaster and were no doubt immediately disqualified for not conforming to the contest instructions.
A complete list of artists who were identified in the archives catalog review is in the margin.
Note: During the initial catalog review at the archives, six indexed entries were unaccounted for. A second trip is planned to review the entire catalog again in hopes of locating the missing six.
According to Schlag, and as reported in the January 1965 issue of the Numismatist, on April 20, 1938, five days after the models were submitted, he received a telegram from the Superintendent of the Section of Painting and Sculpture requesting he provide a biography. A day later he reportedly received a phone call advising him that he had won the contest.
On April 21, 1938 the results of the contest were announced to a national audience via various news publications. Felix, as the winner, was the only name mentioned in the press. Henry Kreis received recognition as the second place finalist in TDAP Bulletin #17 and catalog information at the National Archives, College Park confirms that Wheeler Williams was judged to be the third place contestant.
Interestingly enough, it was not until September 1938, when Bulletin #17 was issued by the TDAP, that the results of the contest were reported. The cause for this delay could be that Schlag's final designs, including the revisions required by Treasury, were not formally approved until late July 1938.
An Advisory Committee consisting of Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Director of the United States Mint, Heinz Warneke, Sidney Waugh, and Albert Stewart, sculptors, awarded to Felix Schlag of Chicago, the money ($1,000) offered by the United States Mint for the best design submitted in an anonymous competition for the Jefferson Nickel.
The design submitted by Henry Kreis received Honorable Mention.
Mr. Schlag was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in September 1891. He has won many prizes and began his art studies in the Munich Academy in Germany. An American citizen since 1929.
Arpad Jakobb, Roy E. King, Henry Kreis, Marcello Rotundo, Henry Vander Velde, at least one unknown artist, and of course Felix Schlag's original submission.
De Francisi submitted entries #190 A & B, #395 A & B, and #396 A & B.
The Hejda brothers submitted entry #239 A & B.
Note: This design is often mistakenly attributed to a Frans Karel Hejda. The records of the National Archives indicate that Wilhelm and Frank Hejda were the only contestants with the last name Hejda.
Jakobb submitted entry #289 A & B.
King submitted entry #191 A & B.
Kreis submitted entries #387 A & B and #388 A & B, receiving honorable mention for one of the pairs.
Rotundo submitted entry #139 A & B. In August of 1938 he exchanged several letters with the Commission of Fine Arts, seemingly complaining that the final design of the nickel very nearly reflected his original submission.
Schlag submitted entry #340 A & B; the ultimate winning pair of the contest.
Vander Velde submitted entry #205 A & B.
Williams submitted entries #242 A & B, #243 A & B, and #244 A & B, receiving the third prize for one of the pairings.

Researchers develop approach to alter intestinal microbiota, vaccinate against inflammatory diseases
Credit: Georgia State University
ATLANTA–Targeted immunization against bacterial flagellin, a protein that forms the appendage that enables bacterial mobility, can beneficially alter the intestinal microbiota, decreasing the bacteria's ability to cause inflammation and thus protecting against an array of chronic inflammatory diseases, according to a new study by the Institute for Biomedical Sciences and the Neuroscience Institute at Georgia State University.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, suggest this approach offers a way to vaccinate against diseases associated with chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, a group of diseases that includes inflammatory bowel diseases, as well as obesity and metabolic syndrome.
The intestinal tract is colonized by billions of bacteria and other microorganisms that play numerous beneficial roles, but improperly controlled microbiota can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies have shown the intestinal microbiota are associated with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and diseases characterized by low-grade inflammation of the intestinal tract, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Therapeutic options have focused on lessening the inflammatory response and have often overlooked the contribution of the intestinal microbiota. The researchers wanted to determine if a targeted immune response could be used to beneficially shape the intestinal microbiota and protect against inflammatory diseases. Previously, they found that a common feature of microbiotas associated with inflammation is an increased level of expression of flagellin by select microbiota members, which can drive bacteria to penetrate the intestinal mucosa and disrupt homeostasis.
The researchers immunized mice with flagellin to elicit an adaptative immune response and demonstrated targeted immunization against bacterial flagellin is sufficient to beneficially alter the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota. Anti-flagellin antibodies were produced and affected the microbiota by reducing its pro-inflammatory potential and ability to penetrate its host. These alterations were associated with protection against chronic inflammatory diseases.
"The administration of flagellin, and perhaps other bacterial antigens, has the potential to vaccinate against an array of diseases associated with, and driven by gut inflammation," said Dr. Benoit Chassaing, senior author of the study and assistant professor in the Neuroscience Institute and the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State and team leader at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research and the Universite de Paris in Paris, France. "This work is a proof of concept and demonstrates that targeted training of the immune system can protect against an array of chronic inflammatory diseases. Yet, significant work is now needed to test other antigens, other immunization routes and additional inflammatory models, as well as the human relevance of these findings."
"If the approach proves translatable to humans, its impact on public health would be enormous," adds co-author Dr. Andrew Gewirtz, a professor in Georgia State's Institute for Biomedical Sciences.
Other co-authors of the study include Dr. Hao Tran from the Institute for Biomedical Sciences and Dr. Ruth E. Ley from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany.
The study was funded by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the European Research Council.

Earlier this year, billboards began appearing in Toronto and Vancouver making the bold claim that "decreased stress" and "health and happiness" were "not available in Canada."
The ad s came from Dosist, a company that sells vaporizer pens engineered to give cannabis users controlled, smoke-free doses. Currently sold at more than 100 dispensaries throughout California, the products, as the campaign suggests, won't be legal in Canada after recreational cannabis is legalized on Oct. 17 (the Cannabis Act does not permit the sale of concentrates used in vaporizers).
"The idea is not just to introduce our brand, but to act as an advocate for pushing the government forward in terms of allowing vaporizers and concentrates," says Josh Campbell, Dosist's Vancouver-based president.
With its product line and a vaporizer system promoted as offering "safe and accurate dosing" for various health benefits, Dosist's brand positioning is based firmly in the wellness space – one that has become crowded in the months leading up to legalization. Aurora's AltaVie, Vivo's Lumina and 48North are among the many that have also taken a wellness-focused approach.
Before the "Not Available in Canada" ads began appearing, Dosist had already begun hosting educational events, focused on the broader health and wellness conversation around cannabis.
Education has also been the dominant entry point for companies looking to reach consumers unfamiliar with cannabis but interested in trying it following legalization.
Because producers are limited in the kind of cannabis products they're able to sell, Dosist could be at an advantage if the company is allowed to sell its product here – which is ready to go and already differentiated from other offerings.
Dosist's education-focused strategy culminated in September at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Just a few blocks away from TIFF premieres, it hosted the "Meet Dosist" pop-up, featuring ten days of education around cannabis and wellness, as well as activities put on by lifestyle brands, such as workouts by fitness studio BodyLove, sessions hosted by meditation centre The Quiet Company and meals by cold-pressed juice brand ELXR.
Advocacy has also become a differentiator for Dosist. The "Not Available in Canada" ads, created by Anomaly, initially appeared without the Dosist brand, instead directing Canadians to NotAvailableInCanada.com to learn more about the product, as well as why it's inaccessible in Canada.
Campbell admits Dosist took an unbranded approach because it didn't want to push against the rules of what's allowed in advertising (as some cannabis brands have). But he says it also didn't fit with the brand's broader goal, which was to give Canadians access to products that allow them to take more control over their health.
"We didn't want to get on a pedestal and shout Dosist. We want to talk about the bigger message, and encourage people to write to their MP and advocate for having the option to buy our products legally."

Monaco — Rafael Nadal offered a low-key appraisal on Monday of his chances for a record-extending 12th Monte Carlo Masters title as he prepares to return from his latest injury lay-off.
The 32-year-old Spaniard, whose bad knees and frequent stoppages from competition have defined his career as king of clay, was hesitant to even rate his chances as he gets set to face Roberto Bautista Agut in Wednesday's second-round start.
of his first match since withdrawing hurt prior to an Indian Wells semifinal against Roger Federer in March. "It's tough for me to get a clear view of how I am," he said.
Nadal has a vast number of ranking points to defend on clay after lifting titles in a spectacular 2018 run at Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and Roland Garros. His only other trophy during a season in which he did not play at all after the US Open came on hardcourt in Toronto, where he beat young gun Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.

EMERGENCY ALERT: Delaware orders coastal evacuation, declares state of emergency
Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 12:34pm
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell issued an evacuation order for visitors in Sussex County on Thursday evening as the most significant tropical threat to the region in years continued its march toward the East Coast, expected to bring with it hurricane-force winds, catastrophic tidal flooding and torrential rains throughout much of the weekend.
State and county officials are urging residents, visitors and property owners along the Inland Bays, Delaware Bay and along the Route 1 corridor to move now to higher ground ahead of Hurricane Irene. Anyone within 3/4-mile of a body of water is being asked to move to higher ground.
The storm's center is expected to graze Delaware to the east late Saturday night into Sunday, but the wide swath of the system would still bring 75 mph winds with gusts to 100 mph, more than a foot of rain and a storm surge of 4 to 7 feet.
The evacuation order is effective as of 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, and curently applies to visitors.
In the meantime, County officials are also urging those in flood-prone areas -- particularly within 3/4-miles of major Sussex waterways -- to relocate as soon as possible.
This includes the communities of Slaughter Beach, Prime Hook, Broadkill Beach, Long Neck and Oak Orchard, as well along the Route 1 corridor, including the areas in and around Lewes, Henlopen Acres, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, North Bethany, Bethany Beach, South Bethany and Fenwick Island.
Individuals in these areas should move to higher ground, either with family or friends. Shelters have not been designated at this time, County officials said, though they said that information will be forthcoming in the hours and day ahead.
Emergency responders will be using the Delaware Emergency Notification System and going door-to-door to urge residents in these areas to leave.
State of emergency now in place
Markell has declared a state of emergency, allowing the resources including the Delaware National Guard to be activated and put into place.
"This is a very dangerous, potentially deadly storm we're facing, the likes of which we have not seen in a very long time. The prospects of Sussex County escaping this time unscathed are looking more remote," said Joseph L. Thomas, director of the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center.
"The public needs to take this threat very seriously, and residents, property owners and visitors should be moving into action now to prepare themselves and their property."
The County is now working with State emergency planners and the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula to identify and staff shelters for those moving out of harm's way. Information on those shelter locations will be issued to local media once an announcement is ready.
Once shelter information is announced, those visiting a shelter should take adequate clothing, medications, sleeping materials and non-perishable foods and drinks for themselves and their families.
The public is being reminded to have supply kits ready, know the evacuation routes and plan ahead on where to relocate before getting on the road.
A hurricane watch is in effect for Sussex County. The National Hurricane Center's latest forecast has the center of the Category 3 storm, as of 6 p.m. Thursday, with sustained winds of 115 mph, to pass approximately 40 to 50 miles off the Delaware coast late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, before moving off to New England later in the evening.
At that time, the storm may be slightly less intense, at Category 2 status, with sustained winds of 100 mph. Still, the storm would be potent and close enough to Delaware to pose a serious threat to lives and property.
Forecasters said they do not expect Sussex County will sustain a direct hit from the eye of the storm. However, winds of at least 75 mph or more are expected across the county throughout the event, with the storm at its strongest between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday.
The storm could create a surge of 4 to 7 feet of water along the oceanfront, and 3 to 5 feet along the Inland Bays and Delaware Bay. The storm is also expected to kick up swells of 12 to 24 feet on the seas and dump as much as a foot of rain.
Sussex County EOC officials are urging visitors to the coastal communities to avoid traveling to the coast or to return home if they are already in the area.
Before leaving their properties, residents and property owners should secure loose objects, such as lawn chairs and trash cans, to prevent storm winds from turning those items into potential projectiles. Also, residents in low-lying tidal areas should make sure submersible pumps are working and check storm drains to ensure they are clear of debris. Vehicles should be relocated from flood-prone areas.
The Sussex County EOC is encouraging residents and visitors to continue monitoring the tropics and conditions as they deteriorate. For updates, stay tuned to local media, the Sussex County EOC Web site at www.sussexcountyde.gov/services/storm, and the County's Twitter feeds at www.twitter.com/sussex_pio and www.twitter.com/sussexctyde_eoc. Also stay tuned to the Coastal Point on Facebook at www.facebook.com/coastalpoint and on Twitter at @coastalpoint.
The public should also monitor the National Weather Service, at www.nws.noaa.gov/er/phi, for the latest forecast, and www.deldot.gov for the latest traffic updates.

Great landscaping job! I'm sure you are happy it is over! And with Fall on the way, you will get lots of use out of the new outdoor living space!

Please Watch the Movie Obsession
AS I WROTE awhile back, Tom Trento of WatchObsession.org sent me fifty copies of the DVD, Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, free of charge, and I fulfilled my promise of getting each of them into someone's hands within 25 days. I mailed some of them to friends and family living in other states, and the following is a letter I was going to send along with the DVD, but the letter was so long, I decided not to send it.
I liked it, however, so I thought I'd share it with you. Maybe you could start your own campaign by sending DVDs to your family and friends and copy and paste parts of this letter along with it:
I'm sending you this DVD because I want you to watch it. After you watch it, you can do whatever you want with it. This is yours to keep. It is important for everyone in the free world to know about the goals of Jihadis and how they are accomplishing those goals. It affects us all.
Among other things, the movie shows what happens on television in Muslim countries. It shows what they say to each other, which is something entirely different than what they say to non-Muslims. They are employing the Islamic principle of taqiyya, which means "religious deception." According to the Qur'an, Islam is in a state of permanent war with non-Muslims, and since deception is a common tactic in warfare, Muslims have permission and even encouragement from Islamic theology to lie to non-Muslims in the service of Islam.
You'll see several examples of taqiyya on this film. It's one of the reasons Westerners are generally in the dark about what's going on.
What's going on is that Jihadis — people who intend to fulfill Allah's command to fight for Islam until Allah's religion rules the world — are actively working toward that goal all over the world. Even within our country.
The movie is accurate. If anything, my only criticism would be that the film is too generous to Islam. I have read the Qur'an cover to cover, and I've been reading about the goals and methods of the Islamic agenda for seven years now (and you know I don't read superficially), and I can tell you, as rabble-rousing as this film may seem to you, it is a balanced report of what is actually happening.
Jihadis feel that Allah means what it says in the Qur'an — that the only way to guarantee your passage to Paradise is to die while fighting for Islam, that the only legitimate form of law and government is Shari'a (Islamic law), and that fighting for political goals is a religious duty and a form of worship. There are millions of these people in the world right now and they are actively and successfully recruiting new holy warriors every day.
There are many possible solutions to this problem, but none of them can be accomplished without a sufficient number of non-Muslims becoming aware of all this. The first and most important thing that needs to be accomplished is education about something that most people (if they've heard about it at all) have actually refused to believe.
It can't be true, right? All religions are basically the same. Unfortunately, no, they're not. Most religions may have much in common, but Islam is unique in its political aspirations, its direct commands to kill non-believers, and its methods of deception.
This is not racism and it is not Islamophobia. It is simply criticism of a religious and political doctrine. And religious and political criticism are perfectly legitimate in a free country.
And this is not a "smear campaign" or "hate speech." This is not guesswork. There is no need to twist the teachings into something scary. It's scary enough for non-Muslims as it is. You can read (and should) the Qur'an yourself. It is only about as long as the New Testament.
I hope I don't sound like an alarmist. To help me seem more reasonable, consider this: This film is relatively new; the DVD was released September 11th, 2007. In the time between then and now, Jihadis have committed 2,317 deadly attacks, with each attack killing at least one, and usually several per attack. Why? To intimidate, to gain concessions, and with the long term goal to take over countries, which they have successfully done in several countries recently.
I'm looking at the pages listing the attacks now. I had to print them out so I could accurately count the number of attacks since 9/11/07. It took me a long time just to count them all. To print all the attacks since Obsession was published, I had to print 87 pages of small type. I got the information from TheReligionOfPeace.com, which has been meticulously documenting only verifiable attacks since 9/11/01. Their ongoing list details how many people were killed in each attack, where the attack occurred, and a brief description of what happened. Many of these 2,317 attacks killed a lot of people. One random page I'm looking at now lists one attack that killed 11 people, one that killed 22 people, and one that killed 31 people, plus many smaller attacks.
Almost every country on earth is involved in this. It is a global war. On the page I'm looking at, several attacks occurred in Iraq, Thailand, Afghanistan, Pakistan, two occurred in Algeria, and one attack each occurred in India, Ingushetia, and Jordan — and this is in the span of three days. On other pages, you see attacks in China, Israel (of course), Britain, Somalia, Yemen, Germany, Lebanon, the Philippines, Chechnya, Sudan, Angola, Austria, Nigeria, Turkey, and it goes on and on. It is easy to see these as separate, isolated instances. But the Jihadis themselves think of this as a global war — the nation of Islam against the non-believers.
Violence is only one of the forms jihad can take. Immigrating into countries and then gaining concessions for Islam from within the country is another. Here are some concessions Islam has gained since Obsession came out on DVD:
1. Random House, after buying the rights to publish an historical novel about Mohammad, was warned by Muslims that violence might ensue with the publishing of the book, so they chose not to publish it. They were silenced by intimidation.
2. Shari'a law is now practiced in several places in Britain, legally.
3. A short video posted on YouTube that tried to get people to sign a petition to stop Shari'a law in Britain was removed from YouTube because Muslims complained. (It has since been republished.)
4. In Hamtramck, Michigan, the City Council waved the noise ordinances in deference to the mosque there to allow then to broadcast an amplified call to prayer throughout the neighborhood.
5. Public pools in Canada now provide private swim times to Muslim women so they can avoid the 'shame' of being seen by men. As the co-founder of Human Rights Service in Oslo, Hege Storhaug, said after Muslims tried to pressure Norway into making alcohol off limits on certain days in restaurants and discos because they felt "uncomfortable" around people drinking, "All the time it's Muslims who come with special requirements," she says. "We never hear a peep from Catholics, Jews, Hindus etc."
6. After a Danish newspaper published some cartoons depicting Mohammad — nothing more offensive than politicians suffer every day all over the free world — Muslims rioted all over Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, leaving 187 people dead. Afterward, many newspapers refused to reprint the cartoons out of fear. They were intimidated into silence by Muslims.
7. A documentary called Undercover Mosque, found that mosques in London promote violent jihad against non-Muslims, encourage murder and intolerance, and promote Shari'a, which means advocating the overthrow of the British government. A year and a half after the film aired, the same film crew did a follow-up documentary. Nothing had changed. The British government, out of political correctness, allows it to happen. Any other group would be stopped. But Islam gets special accommodation. Because they are so wonderful? No. Because they are pushy, vengeful and organized.
8. In Britain, husbands with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits following a year-long Government review. Even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, this official decision means that polygamous marriages can now be recognized formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal. The outcome will chiefly benefit Muslim men with more than one wife, as is permitted under Islamic law (Shari'a). Britain's concession is helping Jihadis fulfill one of their most important goals: To gain a numerical advantage. Belgium and Germany also offer benefits to polygamists' various wives.
9. At Melbourne's Monash University there are separate toilets for Muslims.
10. The Times of London reported that "Knorbert the piglet has been dropped as the mascot of Fortis Bank, after it decided to stop giving piggy banks to children for fear of offending Muslims." (Pigs are an offensive, unclean animal to Muslims.) Recently a local government council in Britain prohibited its workers from having knickknacks on their desks representing Winnie the Pooh's sidekick Piglet.
Islam is an aggressive religion that will not stop. They think they've got the only valid way to live, and they have been given divine sanction to force everyone else to follow it. They will push for concessions until they get enough political power to try to seize the reigns of power. Until more people know what they're up to, they will operate unimpeded.
I urge you to watch this important film. It is produced with a commitment to accuracy. What you see may well change the way you see the world.

Vikings: A TV Series Worth Watching
By ScreenTalkTeam on	 April 12, 2016 TV Shows, Vikings
Perhaps we can thank the success of lavish historical dramas such as Rome or the high-fantasy overtones of Game of Thrones for the newest kid on the swords-and-intrigue block, Vikings. The series premières March 3 at 10 p.m. (ET) on the History Channel.
An Irish/Canadian co-production, Vikings tells the story of ambitious Norseman Ragnar Longbrok (Travis Fimmel), who, in the year 729, defies Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Byrne) by secretly refusing to go raiding to the east in Russia. Ragnar tells his brother there's no point pillaging the same settlements who are just as poor as they are. It's based loosely on the exploits of the real Ragnar, who became a renowned chieftain.
The series was created and written by Michael Hirst, whose credits include Academy Award-winning film Elizabeth and the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series The Tudors. The first three episodes are directed by Johan Renck (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead).
In the première, "Rites of Passage," Ragnar believes a portable sundial he can use to judge latitude, and a "sunstone" with which to find the sun when the sky is overcast, will enable him to sail west. Across the open sea, he's heard, there's a land of riches called England.
The only problem is that no one else thinks he can do it, particularly Earl Haraldson, who brooks none of Ragnar's appeals to send raiding parties west. Despite forbidding it, the earl suspects Ragnar will try anyway, and so follows a cat-and-mouse game in which Ragnar tries to line up a ship and crew without the earl finding out.
As the show makes clear, torture and execution are accepted tactics of interrogation for a Norse earl in a hurry.
The series is rich in historical detail and metaphor. On a battlefield swarming with ravens, Ragnar believes he sees an old man with a cloak, wide-brimmed hat and staff watching him – keen students of Norse mythology will recognize the figure as Odin, just as Ragnar does. The costumes and sets are beautifully designed, as is the longship Ragnar eventually procures from the shipwright Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård).
Viewers unfamiliar with the Old Norse culture are quickly brought up to speed through well-written dialogue, and what is revealed in one scene often pays off in others. Ragnar's wife Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) tells their children tales of monstrous Jormungandur, the world serpent, who encircles the seas along the edge of the world.
Later, this adds context when a hearty viking crew begins to lose heart about sailing too far into unknown waters. Jormungandur is out there, after all.
Lagertha shows she's got plenty of mettle in the first episode, when two men show up at her household while Ragnar is away. They clearly want more hospitality from her than the food and drink she offers, and when they ignore her warnings, she trounces them, scarring one of them for life. As a former shieldmaiden, she doesn't take a lot of guff.
Purists may criticize details, especially given the period Vikings is set in, sometimes referred to as the Dark Ages. This is when the Norse were predominantly pre-literate (Ragnar's confusion at the importance of a manuscript he finds in a monastery is clear). It's set more than a century before the first known Norse explorer reached Iceland, never mind Greenland or North America.

Q: MySQL - Operations with conditions I'm trying to perform a SUM() operation with three similar if() conditions, with the following format:
First one:
if((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > high OR TIME IS NULL) AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')
Second one:
if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > value AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')
Third one:
if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) >0 AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')
Being high and value two different fields columns from a couple of tables.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to make this work, most probably due to that this sentences can't be SUM()'d together.
How can this be done?
Edit: Added entire query:
SELECT VALUE1 ,
 COUNT( * ) TOTAL
 from (
  SELECT (
   if((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > high OR TIME IS NULL) AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')) +
   if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > value AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')) +
   if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) >0 AND TIME3 != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'))) as 'ok',
if((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > high OR TIME IS NULL) AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'),4,
if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) > value AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'),3,
if(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(IF(TIME = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',sysdate() , TIME ), TIME2)) >0 AND DATE_FORMAT(TIME2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') < DATE_FORMAT(now(), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'),2,
if(TIME >'0000-00-00 00:00:00', 1,0) ))) VALUE1
FROM table1 , table2 left outer join table3 on( value2 = value3 ) where id_param='col1' and col2 = DATE_FORMAT(if(CURTIME()>='00:00:00' and CURTIME() < '08:00:00',sysdate() - INTERVAL 1 DAY, sysdate()), '%Y-%m-%d') ) as datos GROUP BY VALUE1

This should return a 2columnx3rows table, with values for 'ok', '4', '3' and '2'.

A: You could do
SELECT (if_cond1 + if_cond2 + if_cond3) as `x` FROM...

(expanding the if_cond1,2,3 as per your IFs above).
And if you want to simplify how that SQL might look once expanded (very big), you can use sub-queries like this.

Home Harry Sylvester Bird
Harry Sylvester Bird
by Okparanta, Chinelo
From the award-winning author of Under the Udala Trees and Happiness, Like Water comes a brilliant, provocative, up-to-the-minute satirical novel about a young white man's education and miseducation in contemporary America.
Harry Sylvester Bird grows up in Edward, Pennsylvania, with his parents, Wayne and Chevy, whom he greatly dislikes. They're racist, xenophobic, financially incompetent, and they have quite a few secrets of their own. To Harry, they represent everything wrong with this country. And his small town isn't any better. He witnesses racial profiling, graffitied swastikas, and White Power signs on his walk home from school. He can't wait until he's old enough to leave. When he finally is, he moves straight to New York City, where he feels he can finally live out his true inner self.
In the city, he meets and falls in love with Maryam, a young Nigerian woman. But when Maryam begins to pull away, Harry is forced to confront his identity as he never has before - if he can.
Brilliant, funny, original, and unflinching, Harry Sylvester Bird is a satire that speaks to all the most pressing tensions and anxieties of our time - and of the history that has shaped us and might continue to do so.

'Leave the ... quagmire to the West': ISIS may have been 'the big winner from the fall of Aleppo'
Daphné BENOIT,
Paris (AFP) - The Syrian regime's all-out offensive to recapture Aleppo enabled the Islamic State group to regain territory elsewhere, including the historic city of Palmyra, and has dimmed prospects of defeating the jihadists, experts say.
AFP / George OURFALIAN
Paris (AFP) — The Syrian regime's all-out offensive to recapture Aleppo enabled the Islamic State group to regain territory elsewhere, including the historic city of Palmyra, and has dimmed prospects of defeating the jihadists, experts say.
"The resources deployed (by Damascus and its allies) to retake Aleppo have allowed IS to claim a series of opportunistic victories" in Syria, said Charles Lister of the US think-tank Middle East Institute.
During the assault by Syrian, Russian and Iranian forces on rebels in eastern Aleppo, IS jihadists recaptured the historic city of Palmyra on December 11 after losing it in March.
"Russia and Syria prioritised the defeat of the opposition in Aleppo city over the defence of Palmyra from IS, ultimately enhancing the threat posed by Salafi-jihadist groups in both northern and eastern Syria," Jonathan Mautner of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote on the Washington-based think-tank's blog.
He said the recapture of Palmyra highlighted "the inability of pro-regime forces to establish security across the entire country without sustained support from Russia and Iran, notwithstanding their recent success in Aleppo city."
IS 'the big winner'
IS "appears the big winner from the fall of Aleppo," said Jean-Pierre Filiu, a professor at the Paris School of International Affairs.

Not only did the group recapture Palmyra, its propaganda benefitted from "international passivity in the face of Aleppo's suffering," which encouraged the group's followers to launch attacks one after the other in Jordan and Germany, he said.
A shooting rampage in the Jordanian city of Karak left 10 dead on Sunday, the day before 12 people were killed in the truck attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. The main suspect, Anis Amri, was shot dead in Italy on Friday.
Still, IS controls only half the territory it seized in 2014 in Iraq and Syria, with its heaviest defeats coming this year at the hands of coalition forces.
In northern Syria, IS lost Kobane and Minbej, as well as Dabiq, a town of major symbolic importance to the jihadists because according to a Sunni prophecy, it will be the site of an apocalyptic battle between Muslim and Christian armies.
Al-Bab, its stronghold north of Aleppo, is under attack by Turkey, which launched an offensive four months ago to chase IS from its southern border.
Syrian army soldiers stand on the ruins of the Temple of Bel in the historic city of Palmyra, in Homs Governorate, Syria, April 1, 2016.
But the jihadists still control Raqa, the Syrian capital of their self-proclaimed "caliphate." They also control the banks of the Euphrates river all the way to the border with Iraq.
After the battle of Aleppo, "there is a de-facto division of Syria in two, with the Russians in the west and the Americans in the east," a European diplomat said.
Moscow is expected to continue supporting the regime of President Bashar al-Assad to recapture territory from the Syrian rebels, while Washington continues its fight against IS.
"The Russians want to recapture 'useful' Syria and leave the 'IS-land' quagmire to the West," the diplomat said.
On December 14, US Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, who commands the air campaign of the anti-IS coalition, said that if the Russians do not try to retake Palmyra, the US-led coalition would "do what we need to do".
Raqa remains a challenge
A Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighter walks near vehicles carrying people fleeing clashes in Tweila'a village and Haydarat area, north of Raqqa, Syria, November 8, 2016.
But the main challenge remains the recapture of Raqa, the base from which IS has planned attacks in Europe and Arab countries.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an Arab-Kurdish alliance backed by US ground and air forces, launched an offensive to retake Raqa in early November.
The Kurds' leading role has set alarm bells ringing in Ankara, which considers the main Syrian Kurdish YPG militia a "terrorist" group. Turkey is currently waging its own offensive inside Syria, targeting both IS and the Kurds.
Turkey worries that the SDF offensive against Raqa could allow it to put down roots in the city.
Meanwhile, with Moscow "indifferent to the fate of Raqa and the United States bogged down in the battle of Mosul" — the main IS stronghold in Iraq — Turkey could be emboldened to step up its intervention in Syria, Filiu said.

(Image) Someone is trolling Liverpool fans hard by selling these blue kits in Cambodia
(Image) Arsenal & Tottenham fans would agree that this Twitter account needs to be taken down

Merseyside neighbours Everton and Liverpool have been bitter rivals ever since the latter was established in 1892 as a result of a conflict between Everton board and the owner of Anfield.
Except for a couple of years after the club's formation, Anfield has always witnessed its players turn up in red shirts and the color has become synonymous with Liverpool faithfuls, who can't imagine their team donning any other color at home.
However, fans of the club won't be overjoyed after a number of blue colored Liverpool kits were spotted being sold at market stalls in Cambodia.
Certainly, no football fan would like seeing his team's jersey in rival colors. Check out the blue Liverpool kits below:
Spent time in Cambodia over the summer, picked up these royal blue #LFC kits to surprise some mates with. There were more of these in the market stalls than the red ones! @KitCrimes pic.twitter.com/dBbv9hQ82J

Testimony on House Bill 1307, which I wrote about here, was heard Friday morning in the House Judiciary committee, and TVW has made audio of the testimony available online. Real Audio users can find audio of the testimony here, while Windows Media Player users can find it here. You also can download an MP3 of it here, or get it added as an iTunes podcast by clicking here. The hearing also reportedly will be broadcast on TVW Sunday night (time to be determined, but you can find the daily schedule here). UPDATE: It's showing tonight (late Sunday night/early Monday morning) at 1 a.m.
I was a part of that testimony, along with one of my students and numerous colleagues. It lasted about 90 minutes total, and those in support of the bill far outnumbered those against it. If you're finding yourself on the fence as to whether to support the bill with your legislators, please listen to at least some of the testimony from this emotional committee meeting.
Additionally, The News Tribune will be hosting a forum centered around this bill next Saturday, Feb. 3. You can click on the flier on the right for more information. It's free, and the information will be great!
Jeff, you're to be commended that you took the time to testify. It's teachers like you--and our common advisor/mentor/friend, Vince DeMiero--that help keep the country's freedoms alive for the next generation of Americans. Thank you!
You continue to do amazing things, Jeff, whether you are in the newsroom or the classroom. Thank you for continuing to stand up for press freedoms. I'll be contacting my state reps, and I wish you best of luck with your bill.
Of the 30 or so people who testified, Vince and I got to testify on the same panel, too -- it was very, very cool.
Friday could hardly have gone better. Now's when the hard work starts. The opposition has paid lobbyists on its side. We've got a grassroots campaign.
It's going to take a lot of work, and it's going to take some bipartisan cooperation. Right now, the co-sponsors of the bill are all Democrats. Everyone's support is going to really make a difference, especially if you have a Republican representative.
I could probably do a design review for your class AND the WJEA presentation with enough notice.
