Mother's Day is a few days away, and I am still in need of some gifts. I am the kind of person who always thinks of so many great ideas, and then forgets to order them in time. Thankfully we all have Amazon Prime in our lives, but sometimes I want to do something a little different and more personal. Today I am sharing one simple and last minute Mother's Day gift idea that is thoughtful, personalized and purposeful.
Since Spring is finally here in Connecticut, I am dreaming of spending the summer outside on the deck and by the pool. I think giving a gift that is themed around the introduction of summer is the perfect way to help your Mom (or Mother in Law) the warmer weather that is finally here! I will preface this post by saying that I am not an expert when it comes to gardening, but I have managed to keep my herb gardens alive for the past few years, so I think it is a pretty user friendly gift.
All of the herbs I bought are from either Lowes or the local grocery store. They were between $3 and $5 each. There are two ways you can go about putting together this herb garden.
Put together some of her favorite herbs that she loves to cook with in a pot or galvanized bin. Some of these herbs may be basil, thyme, cilantro, parsley, or sage just to name a few. You could also include a tomato plant and some peppers to make a salsa garden! Add a wooden spoon and a cute patterned tea towel for her kitchen as well!
During the spring and summer months, I love a good cocktail with fresh herbs in it. We love pulling out the muddler and using it to make cocktails with herbs from the garden. For the gal who loves a good cocktail, you could fill an herb garden with herbs that are perfect for cocktails. This could include mint, lavender, thyme, lemon thyme, or basil to name a few. Pair this herb garden with a bottle of vodka or gin, and you have the perfect homemade gift for a cocktail lover!
I made these herb markers using drink stirrers that I had left over from our wedding (I ordered 5,000 of them for our wedding 4 years ago and I have so many left over!) You can make your own markers with popsicle sticks, or you can order some on Amazon or Etsy!
Create a gift for your mom that she will use all summer long.
Thanks for reading! I would love to see pictures if you made your own herb garden for a gift or for yourself!


About ten days ago I went to see Wreck-it Ralph. I had read a review that made it sound as cutesy as Hotel Transylvania, and that prejudiced me against it, because I saw Hotel, and there were parts of that cartoon that made me gag. Other parts made me smile, however, so I rated it a C as far as animated movies go. Everyone else who had seen it said Ralph was great, so I decided to give it a chance.
It turns out to be a pretty good story. As a cartoon, it does well, all the things that Disney does well. I have a feeling for misunderstood bad guys. Every character is an archetype, but their motivations are clear and easily understood. There's a message in the movie, and there's lots of bubblegum music, bright colors, and flashing lights. What's not to like?
Poor misunderstood racer who just has to win the big race to redeem the world.
And yet, if you forget the annoying kid aspect and cliched storyline, and just let yourself experience the fun aspects of the Sugar Rush world, it's great. I do have the ability, still–Thank the gods!–of being able to turn off my inner curmudgeon/critic. When that sourpus goes away, even Vannelope Von Schweetz becomes great fun.
I think Disney has a real winner with Wreck-it Ralph. There's one really cool concept in the film–Game Central Station, a place where all the characters from various video games can get out of their own games and meet each other on neutral teritory. It also allows them to enter other games. I like the idea of characters being able to switch worlds and experience other realities. I like the idea that there are real personalities, people, and lives in the video games world–by extension in all fictional worlds.
I was in a place like this once, but it was in London and the real world.
It has been a long time since I've seen this concept of the wider cartoon/video world inter-acting with our own. The last time was in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? And that was 20 years ago! Jeez! Time flies when you're having fun.
What most people forget is that Roger Rabbit featured cameo appearances by dozens of other popular cartoon characters. And it interfaced cartoon reality with human reality. Ralph does the same, but with video game reality taking the place of cartoon reality.
Studios go a long way today to make movies into more than just a one-time trip to the cinema. Every movie is a merchandizing opportunity, and I'm sure there will be Wreck-it Ralph toys available–if only at the Disney stores. More immediate fun can be had at the website for the movie.
Disney has a website full of games based on their movies and if you go there you can play the games featured in Wreck-it Ralph. That would be Fix-it Felix, Hero's Duty, and Sugar Rush. Wanna be a space marine fighting alien bugs–you can do it. Wanna be a wacky racer? Most of us have the urge for speed, and driving games are always a blast. Even I liked it, and I have no reflexes and came in last every time I tried it.
So, big thumbs up for Wreck-it Ralph, the movie that proves even bad guys can be heroes. I'm gonna say, get a kid, or be a kid, and see Wreck-it Ralph. It's a better movie than Hotel Transylvania and a lot of fun. I give it a B+ and predict that Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix will be with us for years to come.
If you saw Ralph, or would like to live in a stump in a dump full of bricks, why not leave a comment?

mRNA In C-19 Shots May Convert Into DNA!
Dr. Stephanie Seneff talked to Maria Zeee to discuss complex findings regarding the varied injuries caused by the COVID-19 injections, including explaining DNA damage, neurodegenerative diseases, behavioral issues, and more that we are seeing; and will likely see a lot more of in the coming years."
In the interview, Dr. Seneff talked about a scientific study that showed mRNA from the C-19 ''vaccine'' could convert into DNA cells.
She said: "You see these fact checkers who say, 'Hahaha. These people are saying that this RNA can get converted into DNA in the cell. No way. That doesn't happen. Don't worry about it.' These guys [scientists] showed it happens in six hours with cancer cells."
The Abstract reads:
Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells. We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an endogenous reverse transcriptase. Immunohistochemistry using antibody binding to LINE-1 open reading frame-1 RNA-binding protein (ORFp1) on Huh7 cells treated with BNT162b2 indicated increased nucleus distribution of LINE-1. PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.
Those who said that C-19 shots could change the human DNA are called ''conspiracy theorists''.
"Alden et al, Lund University, Sweden, confirms one of our worst fears. The exogenous genetic material coding for the dangerous Spike protein is reverse-transcribed into the human genome; possible long-term constitutive expression/synthesis of disease-promoting/lethal Spike," said Dr. Peter McCollough.
Really really bad!

The Abstracts continues:
In this study we present evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 is able to enter the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA as fast as 6 h after BNT162b2 exposure. A possible mechanism for reverse transcription is through endogenous reverse transcriptase LINE-1, and the nucleus protein distribution of LINE-1 is elevated by BNT162b2.
Intracellular accumulation of LNP in hepatocytes has been demonstrated in vivo [36]. A preclinical study on BNT162b2 showed that BNT162b2 enters the human cell line HEK293T cells and leads to robust expression of BNT162b2 antigen [37]. Therefore, in this study, we first investigated the entry of BNT162b2 in the human liver cell line Huh7 cells. The choice of BNT162b2 concentrations used in this study warrants explanation. BNT162b2 is administered as a series of two doses three weeks apart, and each dose contains 30 µg of BNT162b2 in a volume of 0.3 mL, which makes the local concentration at the injection site at the highest 100 µg/mL [31]. A previous study on mRNA vaccines against H10N8 and H7N9 influenza viruses using a similar LNP delivery system showed that the mRNA vaccine can distribute rather nonspecifically to several organs such as liver, spleen, heart, kidney, lung, and brain, and the concentration in the liver is roughly 100 times lower than that of the intra-muscular injection site [38]. In the assessment report on BNT162b2 provided to EMA by Pfizer, the pharmacokinetic distribution studies in rats demonstrated that a relatively large proportion (up to 18%) of the total dose distributes to the liver [26]. We therefore chose to use 0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL of vaccine in our experiments on the liver cells. However, the effect of a broader range of lower and higher concentrations of BNT162b2 should also be verified in future studies.
In the current study, we employed a human liver cell line for in vitro investigation. It is worth investigating if the liver cells also present the vaccine-derived SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which could potentially make the liver cells targets for previously primed spike protein reactive cytotoxic T cells. There has been case reports on individuals who developed autoimmune hepatitis [39] after BNT162b2 vaccination. To obtain better understanding of the potential effects of BNT162b2 on liver function, in vivo models are desired for future studies.
In the BNT162b2 toxicity report, no genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies have been provided [26]. Our study shows that BNT162b2 can be reverse transcribed to DNA in liver cell line Huh7, and this may give rise to the concern if BNT162b2-derived DNA may be integrated into the host genome and affect the integrity of genomic DNA, which may potentially mediate genotoxic side effects. At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the effect of BNT162b2 on genomic integrity, including whole genome sequencing of cells exposed to BNT162b2, as well as tissues from human subjects who received BNT162b2 vaccination.
Human autonomous retrotransposon LINE-1 is a cellular endogenous reverse transcriptase and the only remaining active transposon in humans, able to retrotranspose itself and other nonautonomous elements [40,41], and ~17% of the human genome are comprised of LINE-1 sequences [42]. The nonautonomous Alu elements, short, interspersed nucleotide elements (SINEs), variable-number-of-tandem-repeats (VNTR), as well as cellular mRNA-processed pseudogenes, are retrotransposed by the LINE-1 retrotransposition proteins working in trans [43,44]. A recent study showed that endogenous LINE-1 mediates reverse transcription and integration of SARS-CoV-2 sequences in the genomes of infected human cells [25]. Furthermore, expression of endogenous LINE-1 is often increased upon viral infection, including SARS-CoV-2 infection [45,46,47]. Previous studies showed that LINE-1 retrotransposition activity is regulated by RNA metabolism [48,49], DNA damage response [50], and autophagy [51]. Efficient retrotransposition of LINE-1 is often associated with cell cycle and nuclear envelope breakdown during mitosis [52,53], as well as exogenous retroviruses [54,55], which promotes entrance of LINE-1 into the nucleus. In our study, we observed increased LINE-1 ORF1p distribution as determined by immunohistochemistry in the nucleus by BNT162b2 at all concentrations tested (0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL), while elevated LINE-1 gene expression was detected at the highest BNT162b2 concentration (2 μg/mL). It is worth noting that gene transcription is regulated by chromatin modifications, transcription factor regulation, and the rate of RNA degradation, while translational regulation of protein involves ribosome recruitment on the initiation codon, modulation of peptide elongation, termination of protein synthesis, or ribosome biogenesis. These two processes are controlled by different mechanisms, and therefore they may not always show the same change patterns in response to external challenges. The exact regulation of LINE-1 activity in response to BNT162b2 merits further study.
The cell model that we used in this study is a carcinoma cell line, with active DNA replication which differs from non-dividing somatic cells. It has also been shown that Huh7 cells display significant different gene and protein expression including upregulated proteins involved in RNA metabolism [56]. However, cell proliferation is also active in several human tissues such as the bone marrow or basal layers of epithelia as well as during embryogenesis, and it is therefore necessary to examine the effect of BNT162b2 on genomic integrity under such conditions. Furthermore, effective retrotransposition of LINE-1 has also been reported in non-dividing and terminally differentiated cells, such as human neurons [57,58].
The Pfizer EMA assessment report also showed that BNT162b2 distributes in the spleen (<1.1%), adrenal glands (<0.1%), as well as low and measurable radioactivity in the ovaries and testes (<0.1%) [26]. Furthermore, no data on placental transfer of BNT162b2 is available from Pfizer EMA assessment report. Our results showed that BNT162b2 mRNA readily enters Huh7 cells at a concentration (0.5 µg/mL) corresponding to 0.5% of the local injection site concentration, induce changes in LINE-1 gene and protein expression, and within 6 h, reverse transcription of BNT162b2 can be detected. It is therefore important to investigate further the effect of BNT162b2 on other cell types and tissues both in vitro and in vivo.
These two videos are from a discussion of the study's shocking revelations.

One of the original features that made Jeeps so appealing, both to the military and for recreational use, was the fact they were small and maneuverable enough to go just about anywhere. Sixty years ago though, no one thought that "just about anywhere" would include climbing ten-foot-tall vertical ledges. No Jeep that has the wheelbase of a Yamaha Rhino is going to climb the kind of obstacles found on today's rockcrawling trails. This is what Robert Baird realized when wheeling his CJ-5 on the infamous trails of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Baird hails from nearby El Paso, Texas, and chose to replace his trusty CJ-5 with an '82 CJ-8 Scrambler for added stability on the big climbs.
The CJ-8 was stripped all the way down to the frame and boxed to accommodate the severe use that Baird had planned. At that time, the body mounts were cut off and moved up three inches on the frame to provide more tire clearance for the 42-inch Super Swamper IROK tires mounted on Allied steel beadlocked rims.
It takes more than relocated body mounts to fit 42s, though, so the springs were also slung over the axles. The fronts are 4-inch-lift Skyjacker units mounted to a Warrior Products shackle reversal system. These are used in conjunction with Edelbrock Xtreme Travel shocks mounted on custom tubular shock hoops. The leaf springs are aided by a custom torque arm traction bar constructed from 1.75-inch, 0.120-wall tubing and 2-inch Johnny Joints.
In the rear, the shackles were moved to the back of the frame and new spring hangers were added to accept the Skyjacker 4-inch leaf springs. The relocated springs stretch the wheelbase to 110 inches, or 6 inches longer than stock. Like the front, the rear relies on Edelbrock Xtreme Travel shocks mounted outboard of the frame, but the rear kills axlewrap with a more-traditional traction bar that runs parallel to the driveshaft. Both traction bars were fabricated by Roger Little at A Little 4x4 Shop.
Little and his crew also did the engine swap, which is one of the cleanest we have ever seen. A 5.7L Vortec engine sits between the front framerails and churns out plenty of power with the help of a K&N filter, SBC thermal-coated headers, and a custom dual exhaust with Flowmaster Super 44 diamond-plate mufflers. The 350 V-8 is also fitted with a York air compressor that Baird plans to plumb for onboard air in the near future. To feed the Vortec engine, a custom 20-gallon fuel tank with an integrated skidplate was required to accommodate the stretched wheelbase.
Behind the small-block, an NV4500 routes power to the last remaining stock drivetrain component. While the factory Dana 300 is still there it is a bit misleading to call it "stock," as it has been heavily massaged with a twin-stick shifter, TeraLow 4:1 kit, and a 32-spline rear output. The beef continues with a full-width GM 14-bolt axle in the rear. The 14-bolt has 4.56 gears, a Detroit Locker, and disc brakes on SSBC brackets. The front axle is a full-width, high-pinion Dana 60 that has been upgraded with 4.56 gears, a Detroit Locker, 35-spline alloy axleshafts, and 35-spline Warn Premium hubs. The steering uses custom-fabricated, double-ended steering arms bolted atop the Dana 60s kingpin knuckles. A custom 1.25-inch, 0.250-wall tie rod rides behind the axle out of harm's way and connects the knuckles together. Out in front, the passenger-side knuckle is attached to a custom drag link, while the driver-side knuckle is connected to a 8-inch-stroke PSC ram-assist cylinder. A Saginaw steering box conducts the direction and a PSC power steering cooler keeps the whole shebang from boiling over.
Not only is there more sheetmetal on a Scrambler than most other Jeeps, the sheetmetal on Baird's CJ-8 is in exceptional condition given the type of abuse to which he subjects his Jeep. Southern Customs fabricated the tubular fenders before laying down the teal paint. The front fenders are fairly standard "flatfender" type tube fenders. However, in the rear, Southern Customs opened up the wheelwells to accommodate the stretched wheelbase and 42-inch Swampers. Then the company seamlessly integrated 1.25-inch, 0.120-wall tubing for added strength. Flush-mounted LED taillights aren't as prone to breakage on the trail, even with the protection from the Southern Custom Fabrication rear bumper. Up front, another Southern Custom bumper is topped with a Warn XD9000i winch that takes over when the climbs get too tall for comfort.
Speaking of comfort, inside Baird's Scrambler the MasterCraft Baja RS seats are mounted to take full advantage of all the extra space that the extended CJ-8 provides. Occupants are protected by a custom 'cage from Southern Custom Fabrication crafted from 1.50-inch, 0.120-wall tubing that integrates many custom features. Diamond-plate gussets in the corners of the 'cage not only provide added strength, but also house components speakers as well. In the rear, a hinged tire carrier mounts a full-size 42-inch spare that can be laid flat on the cargo floor, be angled up for more room in the tub, or swing down for easy removal. We saw how well this system works when Baird had to loan his spare to a club member on the trail.
Baird achieved his goal of building a Jeep that can make the climbs found in Las Cruces on his favorite trails like Habanero Falls and Rocotillo Rapids. The only problem is that he has more sheetmetal to dent than most of the stretched YJs and TJs and some paint gets left behind at times. The extra room offered by the Scrambler makes it worthwhile, though, since the smaller Jeeps have to choose between bringing their dog or their kids. Baird can bring both.
This Jeep originally caught my eye because of the beautiful paint and huge tires, but once I got a closer look at all of the little details, I knew I had to do a feature on it. The relocated body mounts, super-sano engine swap, and rear tube fenders really set this Jeep apart from the pack.

Google will have the same control over software and hardware as Apple. Therefore, is a Google-produced smartphone on the way this year in addition to Nexus devices.
Apple has always received much praise for how much the California information technology giant has could accomplish with, for example, half the battery capacity and the amount of RAM in relation to its competitors, because Apple itself is in full control of everything from software to hardware and thus be able to deliver a more complete user experience.
Google has been lacking the latter-hardware-experience-and therefore for many years allowed manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung, LG and latest Huawei produce Google phones in the form of Nexus brand. This Nexus product series will continue kicking with HTC, which will supply two smartphones this fall -but Google want more than that.
In the same way that Google has created its own high-end Chromebook Pixels-computers with Chrome OS and Android Tablet Pixel C, Google will also make its own smartphone, where the company itself has come over the whole production and therefore do not get help from another manufacturer. The newspaper The Telegraph, which has been in talk with an anonymous, high-ranking source at Google.
Although it is still sparsely with information, draw the upcoming Google phone to be a top model who must deliver a user experience that can match Apple's. It may inter alia be sending faster software updates, however, although it is already possible with Nexus-the phones.
It's so hard to say immediately what will make a Pixel-smartphone different than a Nexus-smartphone-in addition to the manufacturer will be Google itself. The phone will in any case already have debut at the end of this year, according to the source, and it will therefore be launched either simultaneously or just a few months after HTC's upcoming Nexus phones.
Google recently hired the former Director of Motorola, Rick Osterloh, and he is now in charge of the hardware Department, where the upcoming Google phone – or perhaps the Pixel-phone – can be his first major project.

Manar & Halimah Homestay
When you first meet Manar and Halima you would think that they are two ordinary ladies from the village of BaniNaim, south of Hebron. Manar is a 34-year-old engineer and mother to two children, Rita and Raad. Halima is a 51-year-old woman who didn't have the chance to continue higher education or get married. The difference couldn't be greater, but the more you get to know Manar and Halima, the more you realize they are two fascinating women who complete each other, setting a unique example of courage, strength and love.
It all began when Manar's husband, who is also Halima's brother, died of a heart stroke in 2010. Manar had the perfect life; she was married to a loving husband, had two adorable children and worked as an agricultural engineer. But after her husband passed away, Manar realized her life had to be rearranged to ensure her children's future. Meanwhile, Halima who lived with her brother and his family knew she must prove she can also help save the household. Halima took the responsibility of the house and the children while Manar applied to get a better job that would ensure that the family enjoys the same lifestyle. Manar said, "I always joke with Halima that I suddenly became the man of the house." Manar and Halima were able to identify their strengths and combine efforts to survive in a society that views women as weak, dependent and unable to survive on their own.
When Manar heard about the homestay program, she knew Halima wouldn't refuse the idea, on the contrary she agreed immediately, but under one condition that they only host women. She said, "We live in a traditional society and we are two independent women living alone. We need to respect our traditions." Manar then began the process of rehabilitating the ground floor turning it into a spacious suite with four bedrooms and a large bathroom.
Manar and Halima didn't join the program because of the financial gains only, but also to meet new people and make new friends from all around the world. Manar joined language courses to be able to communicate with her guests efficiently and Halima attended several workshops, including a budgeting training. She said, "I didn't have the chance to get higher education, but I feel like I am learning so much and helping Manar at the same time."
The two ladies believe their four-story house is the perfect homestay, because it is easy to find, the suite is separate from the floor where the family lives which makes it private, quiet and perfect for exchange students, and most importantly, because of Halima's delicious food. Manar and Halima received guests several times, including a master's student and four young women working in Hebron. They remember the experience as exciting and rewarding and said they can't wait to host more people.
When they first started the project, many people around Manar and Halima expressed objection, but decided to do whatever it takes to make the project a success to prove that women can.

Q: Wrong plotting in bokeh When running the below code, it displays a wrong plot.

A: All the data columns need to be the same length, but you are passing one that is shorter than the others:
df.index[df.Close > df.Open]

Actually running your code, Bokeh even tells you exactly this:
BokehUserWarning: ColumnDataSource's columns must be of the same length.
Current lengths: ('height', 9), ('x', 5), ('y', 9)

You are only passing 5 coordinates for x and 9 coordinates for all the others. The arguments all need to match up. You can either:

*

*Not do the subsetting on df.index at all

*Subset all the other arguments in the same way
(For future reference: you should always include any error or warning messages such as the one above in your SO questions—and, as @sjc mentioned, describe the problem in actual detail, not just state "is wrong")

Egypt: Security forces abandoned Coptic Christians in Luxor to murderous mob - briefing
More than 100 Christian homes attacked by mob armed with metal bars, knives and hammers
Egyptian security forces stood by during a brutal attack on Coptic Christians in Luxor two days after Mohamed Morsi's removal, Amnesty International said in a new 22-page briefing published today.
During the 18-hour-long attack on 5 July, the security forces left six besieged Coptic Christian men - four of whom were then killed and one hospitalised - to the mercy of an angry crowd.
An angry mob armed with metal bars, knives, tree branches and hammers attacked Christian homes and businesses in Nagah Hassan, 11 miles west of Luxor, after the dead body of a Muslim man was discovered near the homes of Christian families. Despite local residents' and religious leaders' repeated calls for help, security forces on the scene made only half-hearted attempts to end the violence and sufficient reinforcements failed to arrive.
The violence began at 3am, shortly after the Muslim man's body was found in the vicinity of Christian homes. His family blamed the death on a local Coptic Christian and by mid-day more than 100 Christian homes had been attacked, with scores of them looted or torched. Local residents reported calling the police and army's hotlines throughout the day in vain, and local religious leaders also approached security officials. "The attack went on for 18 hours, and there was not a door on which I did not knock: police, army, local leaders, the Central Security Forces, the Governorate. Nothing was done," said Father Barsilious, a local priest from Dab'iya.
The security forces evacuated women and Children's rights trapped inside a house surrounded by an angry mob but left six men behind, apparently following demands from the crowd that the men remain. Four of the abandoned men were later stabbed and/or beaten to death and another required hospital treatment. Three other Christian men were hospitalised in separate violent incidents. One woman said she had begged police officers to save her sons who were left behind, but they ignored her pleas:
"I kissed the police officer's hands and legs and begged him to protect my two sons and take them out … he completely ignored me and said he would only take women and Children's rights ... I buried my two sons in one day," she said. Other female relatives said they had given men their abayas (gowns) to try to disguise them as women so that they could escape.
Investigations by the Luxor prosecution are said to be ongoing, with at least 18 men detained on charges of murder, attempted murder, destruction of property and "thuggery", amid reports that some were also beaten by security forces upon arrest.
Amnesty International Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said:
"It is outrageous that this attack was left to escalate unhindered in this way.
"A thorough, impartial and independent investigation must be conducted into the events in Luxor and the grossly inadequate response of the security forces to the attack.
"The continued sectarian violence in Egypt is an irremovable stain on the record of successive governments which have repeatedly failed to end attacks on minorities.
"Immediate steps must be taken to ensure the safety of Coptic Christians and other minorities.
"The latest attacks will test the new Egyptian authorities' political will and their ability to break the pattern of inaction and injustice once and for all."
Discrimination against Coptic Christians has been prevalent in Egypt for decades. Under President Hosni Mubarak at least 15 major attacks on Copts occurred. Sectarian violence continued under the Supreme Council of Armed Forces and again following the election of President Mohamed Morsi. Meanwhile, at least six attacks on Coptic churches or buildings took place in the first half of this year.

Q: Get week number of year considering different first day of week I can do new moment().week() to get the week number for the current day.
When the current day is a Sunday/Monday which can be set as first day of week by my user, how can I do something like this to get the week index with momentJS:
 new moment().firstDayOfWeek(1).week() // monday

OR
new moment().firstDayOfWeek('monday').week();

I do not want to load or change a locale setting via including .js files...
My user can sit in the United States where first day of week is seen as Sunday.
But my user is from Europe so he wants to have European calendar settings where a week starts on Monday.

[South Africa] MTN assigns $231m shareholder loan to IHS Holding
04-01-2018 10:02:00 | by: Andrea Ayemoba | hits: 12223 | Tags:
MTN Group, Africa's biggest mobile phone operator, has said that it assigned a $231 million shareholder loan to phone tower group, IHS Holding Ltd, impacting its 2017 profits.
MTN, which returned to profit in the first half of its financial year in the absence of one-off charges related to a $1.1 billion Nigerian fine, said the assignment of the loan to IHS will lead to a loss of 2.8 billion rand ($228 million) on transfer of the carrying value of the loan.
The loss on transfer will impact headline earnings per share (HEPS) for 2017, the main profit measure in South Africa that strips out certain one-off items, but not earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), the firm said.
MTN said the loan, which is due in 2024/2025, will allow its Nigerian unit to continue to invest in its network and simplify MTN's interests in IHS.
"The agreement will enable MTN and IHS to mutually benefit from continued investment and commitment to the rollout of broadband and data services in Nigeria," MTN said in a statement.
MTN formed a joint venture partnership with specialist tower company IHS in 2014 to own and operate MTN's transmitter towers in Nigeria.
IHS has operations in Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Rwanda and Zambia. ($1 = 12.2576 rand).

VSkyLabs has shared a new preview image showcasing continued development progress with respect to the upcoming ICON A5 for X-Plane 11. Specifically, the latest preview image offers a peek at various instrument panel display options.
As you may know, the real aircraft is equipped with a Garmin Aera 796 navigation and instrument display system, however, this item will not be included as part of the release package. Instead, VSkyLabs has implemented a duel mode tablet system featuring a default flight instrument display as well as a separate AviTab display which can be toggled in flight.
Check out the display options below.
Keep in mind, the aircraft is specifically designed for the 'Experimental Flight Model' mode of X-Plane 11.
If you'd like to read the complete description regarding panel display options, see the source post via Facebook. For more information about VSkyLabs, visit the developers website.
The project was last previewed this past weekend.

Begreppet självtillit handlar om att förlita sig på sin egen förmåga att lösa de situationer som uppkommer i livet. Självet kan förstås som de äldre delarna i det mänskliga psyket till skillnad från det långt senare utvecklade medvetandet. Självet är bland annat beskrivet av Carl Gustav Jung.

Självtillit är även det svenska namnet på en text av Ralph Waldo Emerson, publicerad i Essays II 1841.

Can't Write Articles For Links? Write code!
If you've subscribed to an seo newsletter for longer than a week, you're well aware that writing articles with tips and advice pertaining to your website's subject is a great way to generate links and traffic. But what if you can't write or are afraid to write? Well, if you can write software, you're still in luck! In this article I'll show you a trick that can still garner you hundreds of links and won't require you know the difference between adjectives and adverbs. I'll use my own little website as an example (I freely admit that I am neither a web designer nor a programmer). My wife and I own By Request DJ & Karaoke Company. Obviously, we specialize in weddings dances, school dances, company parties, and karaoke. We recently went through the process of converting all our CDs to compressed digital audio files which are played from a computer rather than hauling around thousands of CDs.
In the process of ripping and encoding our music, I found many tasks were very repetitive and time consuming. Since I know a smattering of Visual Basic, it was simple to write a utility to automate these tasks. I figured that if it was helpful to me, some other DJ might find it helpful to, so I called my utility MP3G to ZIP and made it available for download from my website. I also decided to submit it to a few freeware sites just so it was easier to find. What happened amazed me.
Many of the links to my website from these freeware directories began showing up in Google. Given the name of my company and the descriptions of my freeware apps, this helped boost my site for some very competitive keywords. I decided to submit my software to a few more directories, and that's when I found two very handy tools: PAD files and RoboSoft. A PAD file is a "Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings." It takes the tedium out of submitting your software to hundreds of sites by enabling you to enter the URL to your software information rather than retyping all the information for every submission. It was created by the Association of Shareware Professionals (http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad) and is a free utility. RoboSoft (http://rudenko.com/robosoft) is a semi-automated software submission utility that contains a list of known freeware and shareware directories that accept submissions.
It is only semi-autonomous because it won't push the buttons for you, but it will fill in the blanks. This still allows you to quickly enter your software's information to hundreds of websites. Websites who will all link back to your website and most often don't require a reciprocal link. The RoboSoft database currently lists 420 freeware and shareware directories. In the two months I have been using these tools I have seen my traffic jump from 800 unique visits per month to over 5000, and the link popularity of the page that has my two freeware apps has gone from 7 to 639 according to widexl.com. While these are small numbers for someone like cnn.com, sprint.com, or even napster.com, they are huge for a small site like mine.
Plus, they are beginning to get me links from my fellow DJs who have used and appreciated my tools. I'm certain that they will eventually lead to good things. So, while it isn't a tactic that will make you number for "best website", it will get you a few more links. And it won't require you to submit any articles with tips about marketing your website.


Dubai, UAE, April 08, 2019: The Holy Month of Ramadan is almost a month away and we are all already embracing the spirit of joy and generosity. With countless Iftar and Suhoor invites that we receive from our family and friends, we just can't go empty-handed.
This year, what makes a better gift than a unique bottle of perfume for your loved ones to fall in love with and profusely thank you for for the rest of the year. From classic oud to reviving rose scents, below is your ultimate fragrance gift guide for Ramadan 2019 from niche luxury perfume houses Parfums De Marly, Initio Parfums Prive, Mizensir Perfumes, and The Spirit of Dubai Perfumes.
Inspired by the traditional Emirati culture, the mingling fragrances of heady Oud, Qahwa (Arabic coffee) and dates mixed with royal pure Turkish rose, rose Taif, cardamom, saffron, musk, and amber bring to life the rich scent of Dubai Majalis from the Spirit of Dubai's First Generation niche collection creating everlasting memories with those we hold dear and as such in this Holy month.
Indulge into an olfactory fairy tale and experience an explosive mix of floral tones - a blend of paradisone and tiare flower to give a powdery, almost tactile feeling with the inclusion of rare musk and concrete iris. Spread calmness all over with the underlying notes of sandalwood and vanilla.
