Combining a blend of modern and traditional techniques, forensic astrology allows us to gain insight into the darkest and most mysterious events that we hear about in the world. The planets at the time of these events display disturbingly accurate parallels to what has occurred on Earth, providing astrologers a gateway into understanding what has happened and who may be involved. Sharpen or test your astro skills, join the webinar! Join Britanie Leclair in this webinar to gain a basic overview of forensic astrology, go over a few case examples, and ultimately learn how to investigate these kinds of cases yourself!

Please note date change The Lunar Nodes and the Nectar of Immortality : Online Webinar with Bernard Duchatelle In Hindu mythology, Rahu and Ketu, as the lunar nodes are called, originate during the quest for the nectar of immortality carried out by the gods and the demons. This myth places them at the heart of the meaning of life: it narrates how the divine game began – that is to say the game of life and death that unfolds within the wheel of time through the stars and the Zodiac. The rules of the game are inherently linked to the meanings of the lunar nodes, which are equally psychological and philosophical, material and spiritual. For these reasons, we will see by examining striking examples that Rahu and Ketu build a bridge between the material and the spiritual worlds: they manifest themselves through significant events and decisive encounters, which give substance and purpose to our individual destinies.

Using Prenatal Eclipse and Lunation Charts - Keys to understanding different layers of our being
with Agent 40 - R. Hakan Kırkoğlu If this does not suit your timezone - Please note this webinar is recorded and sent to all registered!
We are born into cycles, and our existence involves many layers, from our general features and characteristics, to our much more specified talents and capabilities. Our natal charts represent our physical incarnation into this world and can be used as a stand alone entity for interpretation, yet they are in fact only representing one layer of our being. Hakan sees another 2 charts that used in conjunction with the natal chart, can bring much more to our astrological story.
These are "Prenatal eclipse charts" both Solar and Lunar, that are naturally related with nodal axis, which provide fundamental background information about our central life themes and bring extra dimensions to our natal work.
Also "Prenatal lunation charts" for both New and Full Moons give us certain clarity about our interactions in the world, especially highlighting our capabilities and the roles we take on in this lifetime.
In this lecture Hakan sheds light on the relationship between our soul purpose and our more profound struggles throughout our lifetime. Hakan's years of experience and research are also derived from direct client consultations and years of teaching.
In this webinar you will learn to explore:
What are Prenatal charts and how to use and interpret them! How to approach our pre-natal lunation chart. How to prioritize the hierarchy found in natal and prenatal charts. How to discover certain life patterns which are emphasised in natal and pre-natal charts. Key examples on the use of these combinations will be explored. 90 minutes, plus Q and A After Purchase you will receive the download of recording.

Space in Astrology - astro-geography, local space, relocation, Astro-carto-graphy
Space in Astrology- astro-geography, local space, relocation Space as an agency of personal development and change is as important as the notion of time, yet within astrology we have almost exclusively focused on the latter, neglecting the former, even though we reside within a certain location, are in relationship with people from various regions of the world (each of whom collude with you to give you your experience of your relationship to their place) and are influenced by events and people who compose/ write or develop from and within space! Furthermore, your perspective of your life shifts with geography as certain dimensions of your soul being more salient within certain regions of the world than in other regions and in a world wherein travel is more accessible, let alone within a world that has reduced in size due to the advances in technology, understanding the shifts within a person's reality as a result of changes in location are deeply relevant and important. There are differing ways of understanding the impact of space on an individual. There is the notion of the relocation chart; there is also the inspection of the synastry between an individual chart and a city/ region or country's chart; and then there is astro-geography, along with its sister, local space astrology. This class will illuminate various techniques in a practical and useful manner to help you better understand the agency of space in your life. With Agent EI , hosted by agent 12 Julija Simas Join us for a really interesting session on how to use astrology on a world map. After the presentation we will use some examples and raise some new ideas about astrolocality that we have been working on!

The Astrology of Fixed Stars Webinar with Ehsan Khazeni RECORDING now available Astrology and Fixed Stars – Agent 63 Ehsan Khazeni – Iran Agent and Scholar of ancient Persian astrology. The stars and constellations were the first inspiring elements of the deep study of the sky, later replaced by the 12 zodiac signs, then almost forgotten, like many other roots of ancient wisdom. The qualities and ease of use of the zodiac signs rather than the constellations, made astrologers leave behind the wide spectrum of the 8th sphere, that of the fixed stars. This original separation of astrology and astronomy was the main reason that bought about the lack of the need for observation as a significant resource for the astrologer, followed by light pollution and our human transition to living in big cities. From old Persian books we find an extensive catalog of the fixed stars, with some lists explaining the influences of over 140 fixed stars. In this webinar we are thrilled to be hosting Agent 63 Ehsan for the fist time for the C*I*A, to introduce us to the a list of the 15 Primary and 15 Secondary fixed stars presented by Persian astrologers. This webinar will cover: The classification of fixed stars: The Name of the Stars: The Planetary Nature of the fixed stars: The Planetary influence on the fixed stars: Benefic and Malefic fixed stars: The fixed stars in Electional astrology: Fixed stars in Natal interpretation. In this day and age the study of the Real Sky and the Fixed Stars gains in importance in understanding our astrology as the Sidereal and Tropical zodiacs also move further out of alignment. Agent 63 Ehsan Khazeni - In recent years, Ehsan Khazeni has emerged as the missing puzzle piece that bridges eastern and western astrology, lost since the fall of Constantinople. His brilliant research is eagerly awaited by scholars around the world. Ehsan is currently writing his first book. With pupils from around the globe, Ehsan has emerged as a new kind of an astrologer who will unite the Perso-Arabic world with the West and, coupled with his outstanding programming skills, will transform the face of astrology. www.binduastrology.com - [email protected] $25 USD Free for C*I*A Members/ Agents - JOIN HERE Register Now- Links will be sent one week, one day and one hour before webinars All registered will receive link to attend LIVE webinar, reminders will be sent before we start – 1 day and 1 hour before, all registered receive recording download after the event.

Introduction to Evolutionary Astrology, What are my lessons, why am I here? The Jeffrey Wolf Green Method:
What are my lessons, why am I here? These questions are the where the journey into the study of evolutionary astrology begins. The past shapes the present and the present shapes the ever-evolving future. Looking to the Pluto chart position by house, sign, and aspect, our first step is to understand where the soul has come from. The imprints of past lives are also referenced via the moon's north and south nodes, and also the planetary nodes (less commonly used but vastly important). For this webinar presentation, Rose Marcus will provide an overview of the EA philosophy and methodology of reading a chart.

The Astrological History & Mystery of the Divine Feminine - Part 1 Mary Magdalene Now available to purchase - receive download link and PDF
The Astrological History & Mystery of the Divine Feminine Part 1 - Mary Magdalene Laura Boomer Trent presents an astrological overview of the enigmatic Mary Magdalene as a daughter, beloved sister, wife, devotee, Myrrh-bearing priestess, (tantric) healer, and whore: a role she held according to Western Christianity for 1500 years. Latterly she became a Saint, as well as serving as inspiration for generations of romantics, artists, women, and Knights of the Templar. Interestingly, Orthodox, Coptic and Lutheran Churches have always venerated 'The Magdalene'. With the revelation of the Dead Seas Scrolls, when lost gospels came to light in the mid-20th C, Mary's reputation as First Apostle was quietly restored. Still Mary Magdalene's spiritual message continues to fascinate and grow. Hidden in plain sight, she symbolically reveals her mysteries as the Black Madonna, Sacred Goddess, and Spiritual Teacher. Also in this presentation we explore the emblematic sacred geometry associated with her name, as well as The Magdalene's astrological signatures in the horoscopes of those who have also played her, in film and on stage, to discover just what astrologically attracts us to this mysterious, towering lighthouse of womanhood.

14th), Lena Micheel (20th), Pauline Heinz (28′) and Lisa Altenburg
(41st) found the back of the net for the hosts.
India got off to a great start early in the first quarter by
earning a penalty corner only in the second minute. However, the
German defensive line stepped up and saved India's shot at the goal.
Thereafter, the hosts upped their ante and put extensive pressure on
the Indian defence. They got into great positions and created multiple
goal-scoring opportunities. Germany's Forward Pia Maertens put the
hosts in the lead with a goal in the 10th minute and then found the
back of the net once again in the 14th minute. The teams went into the
first quarter break with Germany leading at 2-0.
In the second quarter, the hosts continued to put pressure
on the Indian defence line and earned a Penalty Corner in the 17th
minute. The Indian side saved the Penalty Corner and counter-attacked
immediately. India earned a Penalty Corner in the very next minute,
however, the Germans stood tall and saved India's shot at the goal
once again. The World No. 3 side rode on the momentum and took a 3-0
lead in the 20th minute when Germany's Forward Lena Micheel found an
opening and converted it brilliantly. Eight minutes later, the hosts
extended their lead to 4-0 after Midfielder Pauline Heinz found the
back of the net just before half-time.
The Indian team fought hard and tried to make inroads into
the German half in the third quarter, however, the hosts fought back
and earned a Penalty Corner in the 40th minute. The Indian defence
line stood tall and found a way to ward off the Germans' shot at the
goal. However, the hosts continued to put pressure on India
relentlessly and Germany took a 5-0 lead after Forward Lisa Altenburg
struck a goal in the 41st minute.
At the start of the final quarter, the Indian team showed
fantastic character and put Germany on the back-foot straight away.
They earned a Penalty Corner in the 47th and the 50th minutes,
however, the German defense line stood tall and saved India's strikes
on their goal. The Indian team fought hard until the last minute,
however, the hosts ensured that they didn't concede a goal and won the
match 5-0.
The Indian Women's Hockey Team will take on Germany in
their second match on Sunday, 28 February 2021 at 1630 hrs IST.

VANCOUVER, BC AND KNOXVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE February 11th, 2019 / Solar Alliance Energy Inc. ('Solar Alliance') or (the 'Company') (TSX-V: SOLR) is pleased to report that, as announced on November 29, 2018, it has issued a total of 92,601,416 common shares, at a price of $0.03 per share, to a company controlled by Tom Anderson, to settle a total of $2,778,042, of principal and interest to January 31, 2019. Mr. Anderson is a private investor and entrepreneur with extensive experience, inter alia, in the Leisure & Entertainment, Oil and Gas, Bioscience, Industrial Tools Software and Healthcare businesses. In addition, the Company has issued a total of 7,297,920 common shares, at a price of $0.05 per share, to three companies controlled by officers of the Company as settlement of an aggregate of $364,896 consulting fees accrued to January 31, 2019. The Company's disinterested shareholders approved the issue of these shares on December 21, 2018 and the TSX Venture Exchange approved the issue on February 7, 2019.
"The conversion of debt from Mr. Anderson is a strong indication of support for Solar Alliance's long-term business plan in the U.S. solar industry and aligns the Company with a high net worth individual committed to Solar Alliance's long-term success," said Chairman and CEO Jason Bak. "The support of Mr. Anderson will allow us to continue moving forward with expansion of our commercial solar sales pipeline and the rollout of our SunBox standard solar system for residential builders. The conversion of debt from the management team illustrates our commitment to, and belief in, the long-term success of Solar Alliance and allows the Company to focus its capital on the achievement of key milestones," concluded Bak.
The issue of these common shares increases the number of common shares under the control of Mr. Anderson from 6,241,666 to 98,843,082 which results in Mr. Anderson being a new control person of the Company as he now owns or controls 50% of the common shares of the Company. Mr. Anderson has acquired the shares for investment shares and neither he, nor the companies he controls, have any present intention to acquire further securities of the Company although Mr. Anderson may acquire or dispose of common shares of the Company in the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant. The early warning report filed by Mr. Anderson may be found under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
The Company also announces that it intends to issue up to 16,666,667 units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.03 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 through a non-brokered private placement. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). One Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share of the Company at a price of $0.05 per Share for a period of one year from the date of issue. The pricing of the private placement is in reliance on the temporary relief measures established by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), and requires approval of the Exchange having regard to the temporary relief criteria set out in the exchange's bulletin of April 7, 2014.


DID YOU KNOW that the Torah and the Prophets, and the Psalms, all teach us about Y'hoshua HaMoshiach (the Messiah)? That the Feasts reveal His First and Second Comings? That the sacrifices represent Him? That the Tabernacle is a picture of Him?
Each person must ask himself, "Am I one of those who sees, understands and am persuaded by all that is said about the Y'hoshua HaMoshiach in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets?"

Faith, Intellect, Renewal:
Thomas More College Launches
Center to Restore Culture
MANCHESTER, NH, December 5, 2017 -- Seeking the renewal of culture and faith in New England, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts has launched a center that addresses crucial questions for Christians and aims to be a "vigorous public witness to the faith."


An NBC attorney objected to the elections supervisor's camera ban, calling the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board meeting "illegal."
Despite objections from reporters, the canvassing board insisted that the meeting not be filmed or photographed.
Five Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies watched the meeting both from inside the room and behind the glass windows lead inside. Under threat of arrest and removal from the meeting, reporters shut down their cameras.
NBC attorney Karen Williams interrupted the three member canvassing board Friday afternoon to object to the camera ban.
"This meeting is illegal," Williams said, before a heated exchange with Bucher's attorney, Natalie Kato.
Bucher's ban on filming the ballot-counting process is a break from usual media access to canvassing board meetings. Bucher held a recount in August for a Boca Raton City Council race and imposed no such ban.
In 2000, during the infamous George Bush-Al Gore recount, newspapers published countless images of the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board reviewing ballots.
A frustrated Bucher imposed the new rule one day after Scott, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, filed suit accusing her of refusing to allow his campaign officials to personally witness the duplication and processing of ballots.
Bucher, a Democrat, said the lawsuit took aim at her because of Palm Beach County's "demographics." Palm Beach County has more Democrats on the voter roll than Republicans.

17-story condo tower to rise in Comcast Center's backyard

This article originally appeared on PlanPhilly.
A string of row houses in Center City are set to come down to make way for a 17-story condo tower proposed just a stone's throw from the Comcast Center, according to city construction permits.
The project, dubbed the "Residences on Race," would clear three large 19th century buildings for 29 condos housed in a glassy 190-foot edifice.
The existing structures were not historically protected and permits have already been issued for their demolition. Now used by nearby Friends Select School, the buildings have been owned and leased for the last 20 years by real estate broker Steven Eizen, who is also helming the latest redevelopment proposal.
Eizen said he has already secured the necessary zoning changes for the project and is confident in his ability to secure financing for more high-end housing units in a growing market he has watched change dramatically over his decades in the business.
"There are no big parcels left in Center City," he said. "This is probably one of the last big pieces left."
Eizen's plans for the 6,000 square foot parcel show a series of two-bedroom units with floor plans ranging from 1,600 to 2,400 square feet of living space and and a high-tech automated parking garage with 28 spaces. Commercial uses are intended for the ground level, though the development is in its early phases and the school's lease has not yet expired.
"If we're somewhere between step one and 100, we're probably at step three," Eizen said. "This is not going to happen tomorrow, but maybe in the next year or year-and-a-half."
Philly has few affordable homes for multigenerational families. There are no plans to change that
Philadelphia Housing Authority has some five- and six-bedroom apartments to its name, but they are "exceedingly rare," CEO Kelvin Jeremiah said.

World Health Organization: Virus Spreads Less Than Flu, Can Be Contained; Medical Teams Test People Going In And Out Of QOM; Joe Biden's Stunning Victories On Super Tuesday; Tensions Flare As Migrants Build Up At Turkish-Greek Border; Richard Dawkins On The U.S. Politics And Religion; Town Near Fukushima Power Plant Reopens. Aired 5-5:30p ET
JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: Follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @JAKETAPPER. You can tweet the show @THELEADCNN our coverage on CNN
Continues right now. Thanks for watching.
BIANCO NOBILO, CNN INTERNATIONAL HOST: Tonight on THE BRIEF with Super Tuesday behind us, the Democratic Nomination is look a lot like a two-man
race. And Joe Biden has the edge.
Italy is closing schools and canceling sporting events over the coronavirus. And evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins joins me in studio
to talk politics, religion, and climate change.
Live from London, I'm Bianca Nobilo. Welcome to the show. Joe Biden's stunning victories on Super Tuesday have dramatically transformed the
Democratic Race for the White House. Setting up what's not essentially a two-man race.
The Former Vice President is celebrating his historic comeback after surging past Bernie Sanders in the delegate count at least for now. Biden
swept ten states, including Maine, which just finished counting votes.
Sanders won only three states. But we're still waiting on California, the biggest Super Tuesday prize of all. Biden's turn of fortunes was boosted
even further when one of the biggest names in the race dropped out. Our Arlette Saenz has more.
JOE BIDEN (D), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: They don't call it Super Tuesday for nothing.
ARLETTE SAENZ, CNN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Joe Biden basking in an historic political comeback.
BIDEN: Now we were told when we got to Super Tuesday, it will be over. It may be over for the other guy.
SAENZ: In the wake of Super Tuesday, a major jolt to the race coming as billionaire Michael Bloomberg dropped his Presidential bid and officially
endorsed Biden.
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, FORMER NEW YORK MAYOR: I'm glad to say I endorse Joe Biden, and I hope you will join me in working to make him the next
President of the United States of America.
SAENZ: This after Bloomberg poured more than half a billion dollars of his own fortune into the race, and only came up with one victory in American
Samoa.
PETE BUTTIGIEG, FORMER MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND: Let's do it for Joe.
SAENZ: It's the latest sign of the more moderate candidates coalescing around the Former Vice President. After a rocky start to his campaign,
Biden racking up wins in ten Super Tuesday states, with a sweep across the south overtaking Bernie Sanders in the fight for delegates with California
still up for grabs.
BIDEN: I'm here to report, we are very much alive.
SAENZ: Sanders' victories came in home state of Vermont, Colorado, and Utah, and he's leading in California, where the campaign hopes to rack up
delegates, but there are questions if Sanders can expand the electorate, as the contest has quickly turned into a two-person race.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (D-VT) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Joe has his ideas, his record, his vision for the future, I have mine and I look forward to a
serious debate.
SAENZ: Sanders already looking to the contest ahead running new TV ads targeting Biden and attempting to tie himself to President Obama.
SANDERS: Great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless.
SAENZ: One candidate's fate up in the air. Elizabeth Warren who had a disappointing showing on Tuesday, including a brutal loss in her home state
of Massachusetts. Warren assessing the state of her campaign but one of her advisers says her biggest decision isn't whether to end her campaign but
whether to throw her support behind Biden or Sanders.
NOBILO: And Arlette joins us now live. Arlette what's next for Joe Biden? What states are going to be voting next, and could they swing in his favor?
SAENZ: Well, Joe Biden remains here in Los Angeles for a fund-raiser, but over the weekend, he will be heading to Mississippi and Missouri, two of
the six states that vote next Tuesday. Now, Mississippi is a state that's very similar to a lot of those southern states that he won with a large
African-American population, so that's a state that the campaign will be targeting, and they have already started running ads in Michigan, Missouri,
and Mississippi.
Now Bernie sanders won Michigan, which is one of the states voting on Tuesday. He won Michigan back in 2016. So Sanders is hoping for a repeat in
that state. Now, Biden in the past has told me that he believes he could win Florida and Georgia, which are in the coming weeks in March, and both
have pretty big delegate hauls.
Now, one thing to keep an eye on going forward is what does Michael Bloomberg doing next. He spoke with Joe Biden today and told him that he's
willing to help in any way that he can to get Biden nominated as the Democratic Nominee.
Michael Bloomberg has a lot of money, but he already has an existing ground operation across the country, including in many of those states that are
about to come up. So one thing the Bloomberg team is trying to figure out right now is how they can leverage those field offices, those organizations
that they have set up across the country, to help Biden going forward? Bianca.
NOBILO: Thanks, Arlette Saenz there for us in Los Angeles. Biden's comeback is nothing short of remarkable. And it all started in what was considered a
do or die state for his sagging campaign.
The Former Vice President had his best debate of 2020 in South Carolina a southern state with a large African-American population, which is a
critical part of Biden's base.
NOBILO: That strong performance was followed by a powerful and emotional endorsement. James Clyburn, an influential U.S. Congressman and giant in
South Carolina politics, gave Biden his blessing just days before that state's primary.
It was a must-win for Biden, and he won big. That was the spark he needed to reignite his campaign and win over more crucial backing. Former
Democratic Candidates Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Beto O'Rourke, all endorsed Biden on the same day, the eve of Super Tuesday, and well, the
rest is history.
Now, the World Health Organization says based on what we know so far, the novel Coronavirus appears to be deadlier than the flu. They calculate the
current mortality rate is somewhere around 3.4 percent, but that doesn't mean that the virus has suddenly become more dangerous. Other Health
Experts say it is difficult to take an accurate account of infections and deaths during the epidemic. Here's what we do know from the WHO
TEDROS ADHANOM GHEBREYESUS, DIRECTOR-GENERAL, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: COVID-19 spreads less evidently than flu. Transmission does not appear to
be driven by people who are not sick. It causes more severe illness than flu. There are not yet any vaccines or therapeutics, and it can be
contained.
NOBILO: Since the outbreak began, there have been more than 94,000 confirmed infections and more than 3200 deaths most of them in Mainland
China. The next biggest hot spots are in Iran, South Korea, and Italy. Governments there are taking desperate measures to control the epidemic.
Iran is suspending Friday prayers in most of the country for the second week now. And South Korea's government says it's going to use a GPS-based
app to insure people in quarantine stay in quarantine.
Italy has the highest number of deaths outside of China, and that has led the government to close all schools and universities until March 15th.
CNN's Ben Wedeman is in Milan, the center of Italy's outbreak. Ben, we're now hearing of restrictions on sporting events, too. What more do we know
about this?
BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, we understand, Bianca that for instance, every sporting activity in the 11 communities
that are part of these red zones where the outbreak was most intense are completely banned. That sports fans from the affected areas will not be
able to travel to other parts of Italy to attend other athletic events. This is quite a blow in this sports-mad country.
This, of course, in addition to the closure of all schools and universities around the country, and the latest statistics coming out from the Italian
Civil Protection Agency indicate just how bad this outbreak is becoming.
The latest statistics are 3,089 recorded cases. The number of deaths has now reached 107. Today, the increase in new cases was the biggest the
country has seen yet, as well as the number of new deaths as well.
Now, we have seen a spike of new cases of Coronavirus in a Bergamo Province, and the government is considering creating red zones in that area
as well. And we heard from Giuseppe Conte the Italian Prime Minister who said today that the Italian Public Health Service, which is one of the best
in the world, has been overwhelmed by the number of new Coronavirus patients. Bianca.
NOBILO: Thank you very much, Ben. Ben Wedeman there for us in Milan in Italy. Iran's battle against Coronavirus is going to be hard-fought. The
nation is facing dire shortages of hospital beds, hand sanitizer, and other supplies. President Rouhani says the Coronavirus is now touching almost
every province. Sam Kiley shows how the outbreak is affecting the country and its neighbors.
SAM KILEY, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, so there are a lot of international concerns over the spread of the Coronavirus continue to be
focused on Iran, the Iranian government has announced that it's going to deploy some 300,000 extra health care workers across the country.
It is also now trying to quarantine effectively the whole city not in its entirety, but it has got road blocks around the city, screening visitors in
and out of that location because as a holy city and a site of pilgrimage, it is a place where the disease has been able to spread.
Because of that medical reality, the Saudi government has also issued instructions that its own residents of the Kingdom and foreigners resident
there, can no longer go on pilgrimage to Mecca. That is on top of an announcement they made a few days ago to say that foreigners were already
prevented from coming in because of the very dense numbers of people that pilgrimage to Mecca inevitably means there will be a rapid spread of the
virus.
KILEY: The United Arab Emirates is also moving quickly, much like the Italians, also saying that they're going to ask children and students to no
longer come to school for the next month in the universities and schools here in the Emirate.
But for the moment, the attitude here in the Gulf regions is that they believe they have enough money and skills to contain it. The real problem,
though, is it leaking out into those parts of the Middle East where there is neither the money nor the skills? Sam Kiley, CNN, in Abu Dhabi.
NOBILO: The $1.7 trillion travel industry is getting pummeled by the global Coronavirus outbreak. Businesses and individuals are staying put. The
Global Business Travel Association estimates travel spending could drop a half trillion dollars in a year, and its estimated airlines alone could
lose more than $29 billion this year.
In an email to employees obtained by CNN, United Airlines says it's cutting flights in the U.S. and Canada by 10 percent and overseas flights by 20
percent next month. And executives met with U.S. President Trump at the White House on Wednesday.
And Airline Trade Association told him it's working on an app and a website to help health officials collect information faster on travelers so that
they can more easily trace potential virus carriers. The President said that people should keep flying.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think where these people are flying, it's safe to fly. And large portions of the world are very safe
to fly. So we don't want to say anything other than that. And we have closed down certain sections of the world, frankly, and they have sort of
automatically closed them also.
NOBILO: The U.S. death toll from the Coronavirus is now reached 11. One of the deaths occurred in California. The other ten in Washington state.
Amazon is based in Seattle, Washington, and it's now informing employees that an Amazon worker in Seattle has been diagnosed with the virus. That
employee has not returned to work since falling ill on February 25th. There are at least 154 confirmed cases of the virus across 13 states now.
There's been a new round of violence in Afghanistan since the U.S. and the Taliban signed an agreement last weekend. The U.S. says that the Taliban
attacked dozens of targets on Tuesday. And today, America hit back with what it called a defensive air strike on militants in Helmand Province.
Earlier, I asked CNN's Nic Robertson what this strike tells us about how the new agreement is working out.
NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: Well, Bianca, one thing that the air strike tells us very clearly is that it is backing up the word
that it gave to the Afghan government, that I was told about by a Senior Afghan Government Official just a couple weeks ago, that if the Taliban
transgressed from the deal, then the United States would bring in lethal fire power.
I have spoken to the same official again, and he says look, if the Taliban were probing to see if the U.S. was going to keep good on its word, if
there were any gaps between the Afghan government and the U.S. forces, then the Taliban will have realized that there are no gaps and this is a very
clear message to them.
Now the Taliban for their part believe that in the agreement, they were going to get 5,000 of their prisoners released by the Afghan government by
the 10th of March, and the Afghan government said that was too fast and too soon.
The actual agreement that the Taliban signed with the United States was that it was going to be up to 5,000 prisoners, but it does seem that the
Taliban were testing the will of the United States, testing the will of the Afghan government, by when they didn't get what they wanted with the
prisoner release in the timeframe they wanted, then they went on the offensive.
We do know that there were different elements within the Taliban, we do know that there were differences of opinion in whether or not they should
go on the offensive, but they have been sent a clear message, interestingly, talking to a Taliban official, a member of the negotiating
team over the weekend, he said that the fact that the Taliban had held a reduction in violence for a week showed that they did have complete command
and control.
So if that's the case, it's over to the Taliban now to reconsider going on the offensive because they know how the United States will respond. Bianca.
NOBILO: Nic Robertson there for us. Greece fired tear gas at migrants again today to keep them out of the country. Look carefully and you can see
people running on the other side of the fence. They're in Turkey.
Last week, in a policy shift, - said that they could leave. Europe doesn't want them, and both sides today are digging in. CNN's Jomana Karadsheh has
more on the men, women, and children caught in the middle.
JOMANA KARADSHEH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This has not deterred the thousands of people who have gathered here waiting to get across. We have met people
from all over the world who are heading to this border, who are coming here. We have met people from Afghanistan, from Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia,
Palestinian, from Gaza even. So many people and some Syrian families who say that they know there are risks.
KARADSHEH: The understand the risks and the challenges here, but they say that this is the first time in four years that the Turkish government has
opened its borders for them, and they know that they might be possibly being used as leverage by the Turkish government to get what it wants to
get from the European Union, but they say they do not care.
This is an opportunity, and they're not going to waste it right now. They're ready to risk everything for this opportunity to get to Europe.
Jomana Karadsheh CNN, on Turkey's border with Greece.
NOBILO: Rescuers in the Southeastern United States are looking for survivors of the deadliest day of tornadoes to hit Tennessee in seven
years. 24 people were killed and 17 others are unaccounted for. After the storm system battered the Nashville area before dawn on Tuesday.
Hundreds of homes and buildings are damaged. Emergency crews are having trouble getting to the hardest hit areas because of downed power lines.
Many people are wondering where they're going to live now.
Still to come on THE BRIEF, Richard Dawkins sits down for a wide ranging talk. The controversial scientist opens up about modern politics and
religion, next.
NOBILO: In this post-Brexit President Trump Era that we live in, people can seem more polarized than ever before, whether it's through modern tools
like social media or more traditional means like religion, people are increasingly choosing their own tribes.
Richard Dawkins is a controversial scientist, evolutionary biologist, and author. His views, particularly on atheism, have sparked countless debates
about our modern society. He sat down with me earlier for a wide-ranging interview, and with the race for the White House heating up, I asked him
about the role religion plays in picking a President.
RICHARD DAWKINS, ETHOLOGIST, EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST AND AUTHOR: It always says God bless America, and polls indicate that or have indicated that
people won't vote for an atheist President which is sad. As you say, America is a secular country. The constitution is secular. The founding
fathers were secular.
The wall of separation, Jefferson's Wall of separation between Church and state ought to be sacrosanct in America, and many people, it is. But to
many people it absolutely isn't.
NOBILO: Do you think it's neutral to have a God-fearing President or do you actually think that's dangerous or undesirable?
DAWKINS: I think that a President who takes his religion seriously and actually puts it into his policies would be dangerous, and the better
Presidents, although they have at least paid lip service to being religious, have actually not let it interfere with their decisions, and
they have respected the constitutional separation, which is fine.
NOBILO: There's been a lot of discussion over the last four years with the election of President Trump and then Brexit in the United Kingdom as well
over the post-truth era. The idea that we don't have the same standards or even desire for objective truth and facts as somebody who has committed
their career to that, how concerned are you that that is the case?
DAWKINS: I think that's horrifying. That's one thing that would make me despair if a majority of people in the world said we don't care about
truth. I mean, truth is the nearest thing I come to having a kind of sacred religion, the religion of truth.
I think as a scientist, I believe there is such a thing as truth, and its scientists' business to discover it. So people who are cavalier with truth
and even despise truth like Trump, make me very annoyed indeed.
NOBILO: What would you say to President Trump if you could offer him some advice?
DAWKINS: Resign.
NOBILO: Anything else in the event that he wasn't keen to take you up on that?
DAWKINS: I mean it's not even worth talking about giving him advice. He doesn't take advice from anybody. He's like an infant.
NOBILO: If people listen to you speak about science or read your books, it's very clear you have this enthusiasm, a huge passion for it. And it
fills you with awe at times. Many people would say that that's how people feel or how it mirrors how people feel about their God and religion? So do
you feel that in many ways perhaps you have the same sensation when you think about science as how people do when they think about God?
DAWKINS: Yes. That's possibly so. I mean, you say I have an enormous enthusiasm for science, of course I do. How could you not? If you think
about what science can do, science can tell you why you exist? It can tell you why the universe exists? How could anyone be so dull-witted as to not
be bursting with enthusiasm for science?
Well, as you say, that is somewhat similar to the enthusiasm which people have for charismatic religion and, you know, born-again Christians speaking
in tongues and things like that. And the difference is theirs is not based upon evidence. That's a huge difference.
NOBILO: Do you ever wonder what you may have believed had you been born several centuries ago?
DAWKINS: Yes, if I had been born in the middle ages, as you ask, I would have probably have been religious because I would have been overwhelmed by
the evidence, apparent evidence of design all around me and I would not have had the brain power to say that's a bad argument.
NOBILO: Another concern that people have about science and atheism is the idea that science left unchecked might do things that are not good in the
normative sense. What would you say to that? Where should we derive our morality from?
DAWKINS: Yes well, you have to make a distinction between science, which is the disinterest and search for truth, and technology, the applied science.
So things like hydrogen bombs and biological warfare weapons are terrible, and they depend on science. You couldn't have them without science.
It's unfortunately true that if you want to do bad things, science may well be the best way - may well provide the best ways to do that, just as if you
want to do good things, science may provide the best way to do that. So if you want to develop a terrible biological weapon, you use science.
If you want to develop a vaccine that cures terrible diseases, then you also use science. But it shows it is an example of what I called the
shifting moral zeitgeist. As the decades go by, we change in a progressive direction. And that doesn't owe anything to religion. I'm not sure what it
does owe it to, but it's something.
NOBILO: Do you think climate change is the biggest existential threat humanity is facing?
DAWKINS: Probably, yes.
NOBILO: What would the others be?
DAWKINS: Well, I suppose people have disease in their minds at the moment, but I think - I think the present scare over the present virus may be a
little bit exaggerated.
NOBILO: And we had a lot more to discuss ranging from the influence of religion on society to Twitter. Look for the full interview it will be
posted on youtube.com/cnn in the coming hours. When THE BRIEF returns, almost a decade on from the devastating Tsunami in Japan and one town close
to the Fukushima Power Plant is finally reopening, but some of its former residents aren't happy.
NOBILO: There are images seared into our collective memory, endless devastation in Japan after a Tsunami crashed into the side of the country,
killing more than 20,000 people. The Fukushima Power Plant was hit badly. The wave knocked out cooling systems and caused the worst nuclear disaster
since Chernobyl.
Well, nine years later and a small town Futaba just a few kilometers from the plant is opening its doors again. It's coinciding with the Olympic
Torch Relay, which is due to pass through in the next few weeks. But not all former residents are happy about that.
YUJI ONUMA, FUKUSHIMA EVACUEE: When I came in here yesterday, I walked on a branch road which had over 15 micro sever per hour although it may seem
like we recovered there are actually many places where the situation is the same as nine years ago. I think it's a fake recovery promotion.
NOBILO: That Torch Relay is for an Olympic Games that may have to be pushed back, as Japan grapples with Coronavirus. Japan began the decade with
unspeakable tragedy. They're hoping to end it with Olympic glory. The next few months will determine whether or not they'll get the chance. That's
"The Brief." I'm Bianca Nobilo. "World Sport" is up next.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: On "WORLD SPORT" tonight, Coronavirus and sport.

The kitchen is messy, outdated and not at all functional.
The clunky, untidy features were replaced with sophisticated lines and clean storage. The modern yet neutral colour tone adds an elegant ambiance, while the U-shaped design is so practical. The refrigerator was moved, allowing this kitchen to be a lot more accessible.
The kitchen in this image looks as if it is lacking something, and while the colour scheme is acceptable, it's not a kitchen that leaves one amazed.

Turkish Thriller 'Between Two Dawns' Takes Top Award at Torino Film Festival
Ben Croll
Turkish director Selman Nacar's "Between Two Dawns," a taut moral thriller exploring ethical and familial responsibilities over the course of one 24-hour period, took home the top honor at the 39th edition of the Torino Film Festival, which ran from Nov. 26 – Dec. 4.
Chaired by director Ildikó Enyedi, and made up of actor Alessandro Gassmann, composer Evgueni Galperine and sales exec Isabel Ivars, this year's jury commended Nacar's filmmaking, calling the winning title "a mature film, directed with intelligent sobriety, which reveals a new, big talent." The prize came with a purse of €18,000 ($20,000).
'I Love Men But I Am Inspired by Women,' Monica Bellucci Says at Torino Film Festival
'The First 54 Years' Director Avi Mograbi on Danger, Irony and Exhausting Himself
Turin Is Ready for Its Close-Up as Release of Matthew Vaughn's 'The King's Man' Nears
No doubt glad to return to in-person, restriction free screenings after last year's online only edition, the jury spread the love around, offering special jury prizes to both Omar El Zohairy's "Feathers" and Amalia Ulman's "El Planeta." Ulman's film also won the FIPRESCI prize. Acting honors went to South Korea's Gong Seung-yeon, star of Hong Sung-eun's tale of big city solitude "Aloners," and Germany's Franz Rogowski, who led Sebastian Meise's prison drama turned love story "Great Freedom."
"It is extremely difficult to raise deep and complex emotions in the audience with your sheer presence," the jurors commented, but said that Gong had succeeded in doing so. The jury also noted that, "[Rogowski's] face and body show the effects of the odyssey that the movie recounts, experiencing it with pain, desperation, and extraordinary intensity."
French thesp-turned-filmmaker Sandrine Kiberlain won the screenplay prize for her directorial debut "A Radiant Girl," which centered on a 19-year-old aspiring actor living in Occupied France, unwilling to recognize what was going on around her.
"I wanted the film to bring us back to the period we are living in," Kiberlain recently told Variety. "The heroine had to be very contemporary, so that we could identify with her, so that young people could say to themselves 'that could be me.'"
Enyedi's jury also awarded two prizes in the shorts competition, naming Guillaume Collin's "Babatoura" as best in show and offering a special jury prize to Ahmad Saleh's "Night."
On the industry front, the parallel track TorinoFilmLab welcomed 200 international participants for this year's TFL Meeting Event, capping off months of training sessions and workshops and three days of in-person events with a closing ceremony where 11 projects received production and development grants.
Four FeatureLab projects won Production Awards, with a grand total of €170,000 ($192,338) split by "Family Time" from writer-director Tia Kouvo, "Home" from writer-director Or Sinai, "Things That You Kill" from writer-director Alireza Khatami, and "Dayao Swims Against the Flow" by writer-director Tao Zhang. The four Production Award winning projects will also receive the Green Filming award, promising an additional investment in sustainable on set practices.
On the development front, Nathalie Álvarez Mesén ScriptLab project "The Wolf Will Tear Your Immaculate Hands" received a Eurimages Co-production Development Award for € 20,000 ($22,628), Catarina Vasconcelos' "Unfinished Painting" benefitted from an €8000 ($9051) CNC Award, and Maura Delpero's "The Mountain Bride" claimed the ArteKino International Award to the tune of €6000 ($6788).
Written and directed by Janis Rafa and taking place "in a small town ravaged by infertility, where rumors spread that women started giving birth to animals," the ScriptLab title "The Future is an Elder Cow" received this year's TFL White Mirror award, a €3000 ($3394) boost that goes to a development project tackling environmental concerns.
"It has been great to once again breathe the incomparable energy of live events," TFL program coordinator Angelica Cantisani tells Variety. "It has been a different edition of the TFL Meeting Event for sure, as we had to reduce the number of our guests to grant a safe environment. But, at the same time, [it created a] more intimate atmosphere." "
"We have been able to schedule 500 meetings in two days," Cantisani continues. "I think there is an important message behind these numbers. Even if it's the worst moment for the cinema industry, filmmakers still have a lot to say and the industry players are ready to help them to make their movies come to life."

How to Watch Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Testify on Data Leak to European Parliament
Tech exec to address data security in the wake of Cambridge Analytica
Sean Burch | May 22, 2018 @ 8:54 AM	Last Updated: May 22, 2018 @ 8:56 AM
Mark Zuckerberg's 2018 apology tour is going international.
The Facebook chief exec will be testifying in front of a European Parliament committee on Tuesday, one month after a two-day mea culpa to the U.S. Congress. Zuckerberg has also been on a media tour in the last two months, following the Cambridge Analytica data leak scandal, when up to 87 million users had their profile information unknowingly compromised.
If you'd like to watch Zuckerberg's testimony, you're in luck: The European Parliament's website will be live streaming it at 12:00 p.m ET. You can watch it here.

Zuckerberg told the U.S. Congress he was also one of the 87 million users hit by the Cambridge Analytica leak last month.
"I started Facebook, I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here," said Zuckerberg at the time. "So now we have to go through every part of our relationship with people and make sure we're taking a broad enough view of our responsibility."
There were also moments of confusion for Zuckerberg when he visited Washington, D.C., with some congresspeople unclear about the very nature of Facebook. We'll soon find out if it plays out similarly for Zuckerberg while he's in Brussels.
10 Most Shocking Russian Troll Posts on Facebook and Instagram, From Hillary Clinton to Police Brutality (Photos)
The U.S. House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released more than 3,500 advertisements and posts spread by Russian trolls before and after the 2016 U.S. election. Below is a look at 10 of the most shocking examples that stood out from Congress's reveal.
Many posts pushed the narrative that Hillary Clinton would confiscate guns if she were elected President.
This graphic meme painted cops as KKK members attacking a young black child.
Only "sissies" and other undesirables wouldn't support Donald Trump, many of the memes said.
President Obama was a "pawn" and "traitor" in the hands of "Arabian Sheikhs," said one 2016 ad.
The "Black Matters US" page touched on hot button issues like police shootings.
The "Army of Jesus" page shared a bible verse, along with this meme.
Russian trolls also used Instagram to spread sponsored political memes.
The "Blacktivist" page routinely shared memes on Colin Kaepernick and other football players kneeling during the national anthem.
"Heart of Texas" routinely posted on "Killary Rotten Clinton," and threatened to secede from the union if she won the election.
The "Being Patriotic" page labeled ex-cons as "Obama voters."

Problems getting a current kernel working on the Galaxy S3 and why merging is bad
Date Do 02 Februar 2017 By Wolfgang Wiedmeyer Tags kernel / free software / sustainability / phone
Some time ago, I started to wonder wheter it would be possible to update the old Linux kernel for the GT-I9300 variant (international version) of the Galaxy S3 to a more recent version. A newer kernel could not only bring new features and speed improvements, but also lots of security fixes that are not yet patched. Furthermore, porting a more recent Android version to the device would be much more easier. Making a newer kernel work with an older user space is much easier than making an old kernel work with a new user space. And isn't it the spirit of free software to be able to use the newest and shiny software on arbitrary hardware, regardless of its age?
But why Galaxy S3? Wouldn't it be better to take a more recent device that was already released with a newer kernel? I work on the Galaxy S3 because I use it as my daily driver and I have a spare device that I can use for development. Besides the Galaxy S2, it is still the best supported device by Replicant which was my original reason to start working with this phone. And especially in regards to the mainline kernel, it actually turns out to be a really good choice, but more about that in another post.
It's pretty easy, isn't it?
Just get the newest kernel, build it for your target platform and flash it to the device. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like this in the case of phones. But if your laptop or PC is well supported by the Linux kernel, these are the only steps necessary to get the latest kernel working. Some GNU/Linux distributions even provide backports of recent kernel versions, but they normally add a few patches on top of the mainline kernel.
The situation is completely different with practically all Android-based smartphones. Google maintains a common Android kernel tree that contains lots of patches to make the kernel work with the Android user space. There is an ongoing effort to get these patches into the mainline kernel and the situation actually looks pretty good nowadays. You only need a few patches on top of the mainline kernel to be compatible with the most relevant parts of the Android user space. The common Android kernel is based on an older kernel version that has long-term support. So the only challenge is to get a few Android-specific patches working with the latest kernel or we could stay with the common Android kernel and only have to build it, right?
Again, no, it doesn't work like this. If you are lucky, you will see some error messages on the screen and maybe a few other signs of life. The reason is that the phone manufacturers add a huge amount of out-of-tree code to the kernel to get support for their hardware. The added code mainly consists of drivers and support for the SoC. And as the manufacturers also base their changes on an old long-term support kernel version at the beginning of the development, the kernel that comes with the phone on the release date is already pretty out-of-date. 1-3 million lines of out-of-tree code are normal for a smartphone. So this is the point where it becomes really difficult to get a newer kernel working. And it is the reason why the manufacturers themselves don't bother updating their kernels to a newer version after the release.
Kernel version 3.0 - make that old
The latest released kernel source code from Samsung for the Galaxy S3, that I am aware of, contains a kernel based on the 3.0.31 kernel version. This version was released on 7 May 2012. The phone became first available on 29 May 2012. So besides some patches here and there, Samsung has probably never updated the kernel, not even to a newer minor release. CyanogenMod merged the latest release that is available for the 3.0.x kernel series. This updated the kernel to the 3.0.101 version which was released on 22 Oct 2013. So the kernel is only a little more than three years behind. And by the way, I even found a few remains from the 2.6 kernel when poking through the source code.
The difference in age is even worse when you want to port the out-of-tree code to a newer kernel version or if you want to merge a more recent kernel version because then the release date of the 3.0 kernel becomes relevant which is 21 Jul 2011, more than five years ago. The minor releases in the 3.0.x branch only include backports of important fixes from later versions. So the kernel doesn't include any of the substantial changes that were made to the Linux kernel in the last five years, except for a few changes that were backported by Samsung or CyanogenMod. The backports make it actually more difficult or outright impossible to merge a newer kernel, e.g. a 3.2.x kernel version, because some fixes were adapted for the older kernel and cause conflicts when merging a newer kernel.
Merging a newer kernel
There is another reason that makes merging with newer kernel releases very difficult. A version control system like Git expects a common ancestor when merging two branches. But Samsung only releases archives of the source code without the Git history. Samsung is not required by the GPLv2 licence to release the Git history but it would be very helpful. Google publishes Git repositories of the kernels for their Nexus devices, but I am not aware of any project supporting Nexus devices that managed to merge major kernel releases.
Without the Git history, Git has a very hard time to resolve conflicts when merging and you end up with a huge amount of conflicts so that it's just too much work to go through all of them. This happened when I merged with the 3.2.x mainline kernel tree. I was able to get a partial merge working. The end result is not maintainable because there is too much unmerged code and you end up in the middle between two kernel versions. Merging more recent kernel versions becomes even more harder and you will end up with numerous bugs that no one else has. Dorimanx targeted the Galaxy S2 and he did partial merges up to Linux 3.14, but he stopped working on it in 2014. The Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) uses the same kernel sources.
In the end, all of these efforts don't really bring a newer kernel to the device and we end up with an unmaintainable mess. The goal should be to have an easily maintainable kernel that makes future kernel updates possible. In the next post, I will explain why going mainline is the only solution and how far I've got with getting the mainline kernel working.
