Russian Ministry of Defense reported that "On September 8, 2019 two F-15 USAF airplanes delivered strikes on Hajin using white phosphorus incendiary munitions. The strikes resulted in severe fires. Casualty toll is being verified.
The Protocol to the 1949 Geneva Conventions prohibits use of white phosphorous containing munitions."
As to the history of the United States use of the prohibited methods of war against civilians see: The Legality Of The Use Of White Phosphorus By The United States Military During The 2004 Fallujah Assaults, By Roman Reyhani
"The use of white phosphorous in Fallujah violates the purposes and principles of the CWC, and the obligations the United States had as occupying power under Resolution 1483 and the Geneva Conventions. Although the United States was authorized to restore public order and safety, such measures could not involve the indiscriminate killing of civilians. Furthermore, the killings were a violation of Articles 27 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which require that civilians receive humane treatment and protection from violence. The authorization from the Iraqi Interim Government is irrelevant as such actions could never be authorized under the guise of law enforcement.
Furthermore, the types and quantities of the white phosphorus were not consistent with use for law enforcement purposes. Allegedly, white phosphorous was fired from mortar positions some distance from the target. It was used, not as a smokescreen for US Marines to evade enemy fire, but to force the enemy from their protected positions. The fact that the military had such large quantities of white phosphorus munitions available at its disposal may point to a pre-meditation on the part of the military as to the manner that white phosphorus would be used. Law enforcement cannot use mortars and explosives to restore public order.'79 As such, the types and quantities of white phosphorus were inconsistent with law enforcement purposes.
In summary, the use of white phosphorus smoke is use of a chemical weapon. It was used as a method of warfare during military operations in Fallujah. The lawful use of chemicals for law enforcement purposes does not apply in the Fallujah assault because of the methods and means of the engagement. The United States has violated the CWC by using a chemical weapon in Iraq."
A Pentagon spokesman denied that U.S. planes dropped phosphorus bombs. "At this time, we have not received any reports of any use of white phosphorous," said Commander Sean Robertson. "None of the military units in the area are even equipped with white phosphorous munitions of any kind."
On September 9th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov has discussed with the foreign Minister of Jordan Amman al-Saadi the situation of Syrian refugees.
"During the conversation, the ministers the situation in Syria with an emphasis on the return of Syrian refugees and temporarily displaced persons, including those in areas located near the Syrian-Jordanian border."
The parties also discussed the Palestinian-Israeli settlement.
Syrian state YouTube channels have been shut down on September 9th with all the videos lost just as the Syrian Army's ground offensive has officially begun.
This includes the following now terminated Syrian state and media channels: Syrian President, Syrian MoD (Ministry of Defense), SANA, and Sama TV.
Assad is, apparently, a C.I.A. agent who wants the US to attack the Syrian Army and the Russian troops.
Otherwise, how do you explain the following Sunday night "news."
US Says Assad Has Approved Gas Attack In Idlib, Setting Stage For Major Military Conflict
"The Wall Street Journal has just published a bombshell on Sunday evening as Russian and Syrian warplanes continue bombing raids over al-Qaeda held Idlib, citing unnamed US officials who claim "President Bashar al-Assad of Syria has approved the use of chlorine gas in an offensive against the country's last major rebel stronghold."
And perhaps more alarming is that the report details that Trump is undecided over whether new retaliatory strikes could entail expanding the attack to hit Assad allies Russia and Iran this time around."
That's right, unnamed US officials are now claiming to be in possession of intelligence which they say shows Assad has already given the order in an absolutely unprecedented level of "pre-crime" telegraphing of events on the battlefield.
And supposedly these officials have even identified the type of chemical weapon to be used: chlorine gas.
The anonymous officials told the WSJ of "new U.S. intelligence" in what appears an eerily familiar repeat of precisely how the 2003 invasion of Iraq was sold to the American public (namely, "anonymous officials" and vague assurances of unseen intelligence) — albeit posturing over Idlib is now unfolding at an intensely more rapid pace:
Fears of a massacre have been fueled by new U.S. intelligence indicating Mr. Assad has cleared the way for the military to use chlorine gas in any offensive, U.S. officials said. It wasn't clear from the latest intelligence if Mr. Assad also had given the military permission to use sarin gas, the deadly nerve agent used several times in previous regime attacks on rebel-held areas. It is banned under international law.
It appears Washington is now saying an American attack on Syrian government forces and locations is all but inevitable."
And further:
The Pentagon is crafting military options, but Mr. Trump hasn't decided what exactly would trigger a military response or whether the U.S. would target Russian or Iranian military forces aiding Mr. Assad in Syria, U.S. officials said.
The Arabic-language al-Mayadeen TV reports that Terrorists' Chemical Weapons Expert Escapes from Northwestern Syria to Turkey
Quoting in full
"A notorious commander and expert of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) terrorist group's chemical warfare has left Idlib province for Turkey as the terrorist group and pro-militant White Helmets are preparing to stage a fake chemical attack in the province, a media outlet reported on Sunday.
The Arabic-language al-Mayadeen TV Channel quoted a well-informed source as disclosing that one of the commanders of Tahrir al-Sham that supervises chemical-armed missiles has escaped Jisr al-Shughour to Turkey.
It went on to say that the commander has left the terrorist group's missile unit for Turkey, but said the missiles are still stored in the village of Halouz in Jisr al-Shughour.
The TV channel said that the missiles have been armed with chemical warheads with a high degree of lethality.
Tahrir al-Sham, White Helmets and their foreign backers are preparing to stage a false-flag chemical attack in Northwestern Syria to later accuse the Damascus forces and pave the ground for the US-led coalition forces' raid on Syria ahead of the government forces' major operation in Idlib province."
Turkey, Russia and Iran reached an agreement on the use of the national currency in mutual trade as stated by the spokesperson for the head of the Central Bank of Iran Abdunnazyr Himmety
Abdunnazyr Himmety noted that a productive tripartite summit with the participation of the Presidents of Turkey and Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin, was held on September 7 in Tehran, the capital of Iran, during which issues such as trade in oil, gas and basic consumer goods, as well as banking activities .
According to Himmeti, the three countries agree on abandoning the use of the dollar in mutual trade and moving to local currencies at a fixed rate.
Russian aerospace defense company Almaz-Antey plans to supply high-tech equipment for three Syrian airfields in Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia starting next year, said Deputy General Director of "Almaz-Antey" Alexander Vedrov. This will include an entire range of modern equipment for safe air traffic, including radars, systems of meteorological and air traffic systems.
Almaz-antey" also negotiating the delivery and installation of its digital television systems.

Excellent SitRep, Scott.
War between Russia-Syria-Iran and the US looks Highly Likely.
If the US goes for Assad and bombs Damascus, surely Russians will be injured or die.
As Auslander in other threads has indicated, Russian troops are everywhere in Syria.
A massive attack against the Syrian government and military will ignite a counterstrike, likely in al Tanf.
The best thing that could happen is if some of the US and UK advisers in Idlib could be captured.
Live prisoners would change the whole geopolitical posture of the US.

proper gander on September 10, 2018 · at 3:36 am EST/EDT
The hubris of the last fascist government in Germany (lets just think about the psychology of the leadership, and not the origins of the war) made them think that they were projecting themselves manfully into new territories by embarking on a war of expansion on many fronts.
It wasn't until the middle of the war that their perspective changed and they realised that the whole world was fighting them.
The fascist US empire started fighting for its life at Putin's speech at the UN convention in Munich, 2008. The patently destructive colour revolutions across the middle east and Ukraine, etc.are acts of desperation to maintain current gains, and Syria maybe the point at which the US starts fighting the world and is recognised as the foe of all mankind.
I am sorry, Yankee friends, but your country is going to have to die at the hands of a foreign power because you have individually and collectively done nothing to reign in your leadership in the US or Israel or UK.
If you can't stop your own leaders throwing your sons into war for personal gain, someone else is going to have to do it for you the old fashioned way. The same applies to me as a Brit.
Anonius on September 10, 2018 · at 10:39 am EST/EDT
Since you brought up the Third Reich, I still remember Public television broadcasting one of Hitler's speeches, while the same day (if I remember correctly) Bush junior was making a justification speech against Iraq. What immensely shocked me was that the words were almost identical almost as if Bush was reading from the same script. I guess, Public television was not informed to withdraw their war documentaries for a week or so.
Dr. NG Maroudas on September 10, 2018 · at 12:36 pm EST/EDT
Anonius, the Nazi streak in the Bush dynasty is well known. I first noted that George Senior talked about The New World Order just like Hitler did. Where did he learn that phrase? Then a Yank wrote to me apropos George Junior: Grandpa Prescott Bush financed the Nazis, and the fruit does not fall far from the tree.
Flopot on September 10, 2018 · at 4:31 pm EST/EDT
"the same script"
And the goyim will for the same play, again and again and again.
Serbian girl on September 10, 2018 · at 12:33 pm EST/EDT
Aha.. Al Tanf.. I forgot about that one. Thanks Larchmonter! That's probably the base from where their planes took off for the recent white phosphorus raid.
Here is a map of NATO /us carrier strike groups dates 10/10/2018. There are none in the Mediterranean. Not sure if this is a good or bad sign. Maybe they are preparing for something big and don't want their ships to get sunk in retaliation..?

Pickle Rick on September 17, 2018 · at 12:14 pm EST/EDT
A Nimitz class carrier is a 6 billion dollar target, a Ford class is 13 billion, with a lot of significance beyond its dollar value. If it came to it, Russia could fire a thousand cruise missiles to sink one, and it would be a bargain considering the cost of the carrier versus the cost of the cruise missiles. Besides, carriers are more or less obsolete. With the dramatic increase in cruise missile range, carriers have lost their stand-off ability which is what made them superior to the battleship in the first place.
Johnnie Quezada on October 02, 2018 · at 4:23 pm EST/EDT
Here is a interesting piece from ICH: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/50353.htm. If the author is right, any attack on Syria will be costly every which way as the S-300 systems will likely show US F-35s for what they really are: Junk.
cdvision on September 09, 2018 · at 11:57 pm EST/EDT
We are in dangerous times with idiots in charge in Washington.
It is inconceivable with the build up of forces and recent drills that Russia would back down; there is no way that Putin and his commanders would lead the forces up the hill just to lead then down. And the world would be a more dangerous place if they did.
All the events in the sitRep are of course connected – the moves to dedollarise and strengthen Syria etc. There is the smell of panic in the air from the Empire.
One hopes the reporting from the WSJ is just hyperbole to make Trump look week when he doesn't follow through. But as I said, with idiots puffed up with their own hubris (ie bullshit) one never knows. Sending 100 US marines to Al Tanf smacks of tokenism.
Given the detailed info on the upcoming false flag I assume moves are afoot to capture the perps, or at least destroy the facility. And it wouldn't surprise me if the Brits were already captured.
Either the US or Russia has to blink or we are all in trouble.
Larchmonter445 on September 10, 2018 · at 12:28 am EST/EDT
The WSJ is owned by Murdoch.He is also a stakeholder in Genie, with rights to the gas in Golan Heights from Israel who stole them from Syria.
Thus he has a vested interest (billions) in getting rid of Assad. No Assad and the Israelis keep Golan and the gas.

He's also a Globalist and hates Trump. So he'd like to get rid of Trump, too.
Yuri on September 10, 2018 · at 3:27 am EST/EDT
Does he really hate Trump? Fox (Murdoch's company) supports Trump in many interviews that I have seen.
David Hollander on September 10, 2018 · at 9:25 am EST/EDT
The only major media organizations expressing sympathy to the Trump candidacy were the Wall Street Journal and Fox News. Both are Murdoch properties. Both Murdoch and Trump have long associations with unsavory characters such as convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (New York Magazine quotes Trump as saying) I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy, He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life. Other notable affiliates of Epstein include Bill Clinton, Evelyn de Rothschild and uber-Zionist lawyer Alan Dershowitz, long time supporter of the Democratic Party but recently in the news in defense of Trump. In conclusion, Rupert Murdoch is a very highly placed Zionist operative. Trump has expressed unprecedented subservience to Israeli and Zionist interests, so in addition to the history to date, the conclusion that Murdoch hates Trump would not seem to be justified.
Trump was also financed by the Koch Brothers but they are now against him.Very strangely since then the Coup is now going faster and faster.
David Hollander on September 10, 2018 · at 11:04 am EST/EDT
Interesting, but the Koch brothers advocate many different government policy initiatives. Most having nothing to do with foreign policy. Their orientation is primarily "Libertarian" (as the term is used in the US). The Charles Koch Foundation advocates a foreign policy of non-interventionism. If they've soured on Trump that would not be surprising.
Siotu on September 12, 2018 · at 1:36 am EST/EDT
The Koch brothers are definately not Libertarians. They are sworn opponents of that philosophy. Read Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell et al or listen to Tom Woods podcasts on the subject and you'll soon be aware that whatever else the Koch brothers are, it aint Libertarians!

It's a huge reservoir of oil, unusually deep, that is the prize currently in the hands of Rothschild, Cheney and Murdoch.
franz kafka on September 09, 2018 · at 11:58 pm EST/EDT
The stoner-like stupidity in these CIA-alleged plots is reaching Ukrainian levels of absurdity.
I wonder if the CIA has taken to recruiting its black ops personnel from the Azov Battallion or the hordes of Hasbarat Disinformation trolls in the boiler rooms of the Rada.
Yuri on September 10, 2018 · at 12:08 am EST/EDT
It would be better that this glorious and noble bird, the bald eagle, not be used as any type of symbolic representation of this perverted government. Besides, did anyone ask the eagle how it felt about this?
Bombadil on September 10, 2018 · at 1:24 am EST/EDT
I see John McCain's ghost has come back from the dead to "gift" us all with one more false flag, following the same narrative as previously, to give the gullible moron Trump another excuse to puff up his chest, followed by a completely ineffective barrage of outdated tomahawks.
How infuriating that the idiot Trump faithfully believes every blatant false flag that the CIA throws his way, even though it's the same CIA that is both trying to impeach him and came up with the phony narrative of Russian collusion.
Anyway, this won't end any differently than the last two times. More missiles might be used this time, with more targets, to show off America's dreadful impotence, arrogance, hypocrisy, stupidity and evil. But is anything going to change on the ground? The answer is a resounding no. Trump was elected because unlike Hillary, he didn't want to see the human race totally annihilated in a nuclear war with Russia. He won't risk it now.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world, and many Americans as well, are tired of America's blatant evil and this will only infuriate everyone further, increasing our collective drive to act. I think this will only hasten the Empire's demise, ultimately. Furthermore, all of these blatant crimes and false flags being conducted by the US Pentagon and their intelligence agencies, can be used against them later. Every single one of the crimes they have committed will be brought to light, and be used against them. And they will pay for all of them.

So, according to the Wall Street Journal, President Assad has "approved" the use of chlorine gas. How "original". Makes you wonder who works in the US media and political establishment, when they continue to parrot the same old story, which is contrary to basic logic. Why on earth would Assad use chlorine gas against his own people, now that he has almost won ? To incriminate himself ? To give Washington an "excuse" to bomb him ? I think not.
Struth on September 10, 2018 · at 3:51 am EST/EDT
The swamp creatures are extremely desperate. The corruption is bubbling to the surface and they all face prison unless they can win the midterms and impeach Trump. If this fails the next nad only option is to distract everybody from thier crimes with war.
jiri on September 10, 2018 · at 7:24 am EST/EDT
The last time the Russians implicitly said-You may bomb but not bomb Russian men or material.
This time the Russians are saying- No bombs and no interference.
Will the US risk it?
Apparently the US stopped the cruise missile launches when Russian fighter planes took to the air during the volley. This time around it looks like the Russians will have a dozen planes flying constantly throughout the operation.
The US options are limited- it is go nuclear or bust. But then there isn't enough political support for a nuclear face off.
We will find out soon. My guess is the the Syria situation will fizzle out and the internal political battles in the US will intensify.
Christian W on September 10, 2018 · at 10:13 am EST/EDT
The situation in Syria will not fizzle out. The jihadis in Idlib will be blown out of their caves by the combined forces of the Russian Aerospace forces and the SAA. The SAA will then turn east and march on Manbij, then east to the border of Iraq to cut off ISIS/American oil smuggling operations, and south along the Euphrates towards Raqqa and Deir Ezzor from the North. This will push the US out of the oil field it has occupied in Eastern Syria and make the American occupation of Al Tanf pointless.
The US and Israel face the dilemma of going to real war over Syria, meaning with the full force of Russia, or accept strategic defeat in Syria. Strategic defeat in Syria is out of the question since this ensures the eventual and complete defeat elsewhere of the American presence in the Middle East, the next logical step being Iraq ridding itself of the US occupation once and for all. Israel cannot accept a strong Syria since this means the end of the Greater Israel project. Unfortunately for Israel this is exactly what they have created by their attempt to destroy Syria. Karma is a bitch.
So war it is, but the Americans and Israelis know full well that Israel has zero strategic depth and would be destroyed and rendered uninhabitable very quickly and very easily. This is why the US and Israel are trying to manufacture a situation where they can have the cake and eat it, remain in Syria and keep Syria weak and dysfunctional while not losing the war.
But Russia, Syria and Iran will have none of it. Every inch of Syria will be liberated and Russia is building up the Syrian forces towards this end.
Italy will also take part in an attack against Syria.Thanks Salvini for your supposed to be 'sovereign' govt. and fake pro russian(still waiting you accomplish what you told your voters you would do,cancelling russian sanctions).
We have:US/UK/FRA/GER I will not be surprised to see Israel of course and maybe Trudeau lgbt participate as well.
Update:SPD against german participation
Cat Pillar on September 10, 2018 · at 10:45 am EST/EDT
An' I heard Sy Hersch on RT's Going Underground say one can't use chlorine with sarin gas – because the chlorine mitigates the effects of the sarin.
Sarin is banned under int. law but chlorine is not because chlorine is not a chemical weapon. Let me repeat that – Chlorine is not a chemical weapon. Should I capitalise it? It's pointless that it can be used as weapon because so can a butter knife or a bank card.
…. An' I'm still waiting to hear someone who talks about using chlorine as a chemical weapon explain exactly what "weaponised chlorine" is? …. Bleach in a bomb? Used swimming pool water?

Because of the date – September 8, 2019 – I assumed that this would be another "humor" piece by Scott. By the end, I realized that everything is reported as truth. Oh well.
Turkey is helping the terrorist groups. That is why they control so much land on the Turkey-Syria border and why they can move easily between Syria and Turkey, including escaping to Turkey: "A notorious commander and expert of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) terrorist group's chemical warfare has left Idlib province for Turkey…"
Al-Nusra is the group which has filmed their gory decapitations of captives – including the boy they kidnapped from a hospital a couple years ago and killed in the back of their pick-up truck.
Russia is foolish to cooperate so much with Turkey.

Welcome to our testimonial page, please read what our audience says about Gigi On Broadway show. This will give you an idea about the story before you watch it. We hope you find this useful as you browse through our web. If you have any doubt on this page, we encourage you to visit any theater review sites.
My daughter and I enjoyed the show so much. It has enough audience appeal to have a good run and continue the show regularly. I really don't have any issue with the show, I can see that Gigi On Broadway will make a hit in theater stage.
Wow! The leading actress is irresistible as Gigi on the musical play. The leading actor has excellent acting skills and singing voice. I rated high the entire cast members of Gigi On Broadway and I really have a high respect for all the production staff. I've watched the show twice and I have the same of excitement while watching. Everyone, please watch it. I guaranteed that you will enjoy it.
The actress was so beautiful in her Gigi role. When I walked through the theater, the big screen glow brightly on her. I was moved on how she acts and sings. All the dress used in the play was absolutely perfect for her.
To all the cast members and production staff, all hail to all of you. It was flawless and wonderful. I've watched the show last week, it was amazing, fantastic and gorgeous! I love every second of the play. I highly recommend Gigi On Broadway to each and every one of you.
I've watched the show last week with my children and I can't figure out what was supposedly terrible about it. I really can't see anything wrong. The cast members were perfectly fit for their role.


A paper clip will not 'float' on water in the same sense that a cork will. If you position a cork below the surface, it will rise to the surface. A paper clip will not.
If you carefully place the paper clip on the surface of calm water, however, you can keep it from sinking because of surface tension. In a liquid, molecules are attracted by neighboring ones in all directions, except for those at the boundary. The unequal attraction of neighboring molecules at the surface forms a kind of 'skin'. This surface tension is responsible for minimizing the surface area of a free-falling drop of water into a sphere.
If you look closely at an object suspended by surface tension, whether it is a paper clip, insect, leaf, etc. you will notice a slight depression in the surface supporting the object. As long as the pressure exerted by an object is low enough, surface tension can support it. Low pressure requires a large area in contact with the water relative to weight.

Hepatitis C is a virus that damages the liver. It usually spreads when blood from a person infected with the hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Today, most people become infected with the hepatitis C virus by sharing needles or other equipment to prepare or inject drugs. Because opioid and drug use has profound economic and health consequences on Americans, including a marked increase in acute hepatitis C infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges Hepatitis Awareness Month every year in May with its campaign, Know More Hepatitis.

Discussion Guide for Canary in the Coal Mine: A Forgotten Rural Community, a Hidden Epidemic, and a Lone Doctor Battling for the Life, Health, and Soul of the People
When Dr. Will Cooke, an idealistic young physician just out of medical training, set up practice in the small community of Austin, Indiana, he had no idea that much of the town was being torn apart by poverty, addiction, and life-threatening illnesses. Soon, however, he would find himself at the crossroads of two unprecedented health-care disasters: an opioid epidemic and the worst drug-fueled HIV outbreak ever seen in a rural American community. Confronted with Austin's hidden secrets, Dr. Cooke decided he had to do something about them. But in taking up the fight for Austin's people, he would have to battle some unanticipated foes: prejudice, political resistance, an entrenched bureaucracy—and the dark despair that threatened to overwhelm his own soul. Canary in the Coal Mine offers inspiration for anyone fighting in the face of daunting obstacles — and a road map of hope for those concerned about our nation's preparedness to deal with ever more deadly outbreaks of disease.

Discussion Guide for Corrections in Ink: A Memoir
Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice. For the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell. Then, on a cold day during her senior year, the police caught her walking down the street with a Tupperware full of heroin. Her arrest made the front page of the local news and landed her behind bars for nearly two years. There, in the Twilight Zone of New York's jails and prisons, Keri grappled with the wreckage of her missteps and mistakes as she sobered up and searched for a better path. After she walked out of her cell for the last time, Keri became a reporter dedicated to exposing our flawed prisons as only an insider could.

Discussion Guide for Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic
The unfettered prescribing of pain medications during the 1990s reached its peak in Purdue Pharma's campaign to market OxyContin, its new, expensive - extremely addictive - miracle painkiller. Meanwhile, a massive influx of black tar heroin - cheap, potent, and originating from one small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel--assaulted small town and mid-sized cities across the country, driven by a brilliant, almost unbeatable marketing and distribution system. Introducing a memorable cast of character - pharma pioneers, young Mexican entrepreneurs, narcotics investigators, survivors, and parents - Sam Quinones, an acclaimed journalist with the storytelling ability of a novelist, weaves the tale of this catastrophic collision of events.

A reporter for almost 30 years, Quinones lived and worked as a freelance writer in Mexico from 1994 to 2004. He spent time with gang members and governors, taco vendors and Los Tigres del Norte. He wrote about soap operas, and he lived briefly in a drug-rehabilitation clinic in Zamora, while hanging out with a street gang. He did the same with a colony of transvestites in Mazatlan, with the merchants in the Mexico City neighborhood of Tepito, and with the relegated PRI congressmen known as the Bronx. He hung out with the promoters of Tijuana's opera scene and with the makers of plaster statues of Mickey Mouse and Spiderman in that city's Colonia Libertad. In 1998, he received an Alicia Patterson Fellowship, and Columbia University's Maria Moors Cabot Prize in 2008, for a career of excellence in reporting about Latin America. He returned to the United States in 2004 to take a job with the LA Times, where for 10 years he wrote stories about immigrants, street gangs, drug trafficking, and marijuana growers in Northern California.

Discussion Guide for From the Ashes: My Story of Being Indigenous, Homeless, and Finding My Way
Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle and his two brothers were cut off from all they knew when they were placed in the foster care system. Eventually living with their paternal grandparents, the children often clashed with their tough-love attitude. Worse, the ghost of Jesse's drug-addicted father seemed to haunt the memories of every member of the family. Soon, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, resulting in more than a decade living on and off the streets. Facing struggles many of us cannot even imagine, Jesse knew he would die unless he turned his life around. Through sheer perseverance and newfound love, he managed to find his way back into the loving embrace of his Indigenous culture and family.

Discussion Guide for Hey, Kiddo: How I Lost My Mother, Found My Father, and Dealt with Family Addiction
In kindergarten, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, in and out of rehab, and in and out of Jarrett's life. His father is a mystery; Jarrett doesn't know where to find him, or even what his name is. Jarrett lives with his grandparents, two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children until Jarrett came along. Jarrett goes through his childhood trying to make his non-normal life as normal as possible, finding a way to express himself through drawing even as so little is being said to him about what's going on. Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father. Hey, Kiddo is a profoundly important memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction and finding the art that helps you survive.

Discussion Guide for The Weight of Air: A Story of the Lies about Addiction and the Truth about Recovery
In his groundbreaking memoir, The Weight of Air, David chronicles his struggle to overcome mental illness and addiction. By age nineteen, he'd been through medical detox, inpatient rehab, twelve-step programs, and a halfway house. He saw his drug use as a symptom of depression, but the experts insisted that addiction was the problem. Over the next thirteen years, he went from one relapse to the next, drowning in guilt, shame, and secrets, until he finally found an evidence-based treatment that not only saved his life, but helped him thrive. With grit, humor, and brutal honesty, David's story exposes the danger in traditional recovery models: they actually increase stigma and the risk of overdose, relapse, and death.

Q: Disabling ButtonField when BoundField is zero I have this GridView that fills on the Page_Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
    GridView1.DataSource = actBO.BuscarActividades();
    GridView1.DataBind();
  }
}

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Id" HeaderText="ID" Visible="False" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Class" HeaderText="Class" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Day" HeaderText="Day" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Time" HeaderText="Time" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Vacants" HeaderText="Vacants" />

            <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" HeaderText="Book" Text="Book"/>

        </Columns>
 </asp:GridView>

Where column "Vacants" shows an int (it represents the amount of vacant booking spaces in a class).
Every row will have a button to book a specific class. I need to place a condition for when the field "Vacants" is zero, so the "Book" button will be disabled.
So far this is what it looks like: image.
As you can see, I need the button to be disabled when there are no more vacants. It shouldn't be able to be clicked.

A: To do so, you must register OnRowDataBound event. More explanations can be found in here.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Id" HeaderText="ID" Visible="False" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Class" HeaderText="Class" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Day" HeaderText="Day" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Time" HeaderText="Time" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Vacants" HeaderText="Vacants" />
            <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" HeaderText="Book" Text="Book"/>
        </Columns>
 </asp:GridView>

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        // get your button via the column index; ideally you could use template field and put your own button inside
        var button = e.Row.Cell[5].Controls[0] as Button;
        int vacant = 0;
        var vacantVal = int.TryParse(e.Row.Cell[4].Text, out vacant);
        if (button != null)
        {
            button.Enabled = vacant > 0;
        }
    }
}

Hope it helps.

Q: For the A* algorithm, is this a decent heuristic function? Why or why not? 15 - Puzzle Problem explained : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle
In order to solve the 15-puzzle problem, I have written a heuristic function to decide which state is best to access. So, I wrote a heuristic function called update fgh, for every node it increases g by 1, and h increases relative to the distance of each node from the goal state.
The 15 puzzle problem is a random array of 15 tiles that are each numbered 1-15 that are scattered in random order on a 4 x 4 box with a blank tile added as well.
To solve the 15 puzzle, you have to move the blank tile in place of a tile to its left to its right , bottom or top.
When each number is in order from 1-15 and the blank tile at the end, the 15 puzzle problem is solved.
The variables in my code are the following
///[variables in pnode]///
N - represents 4 tiles in the precompiler to make code more portable and for security reasons of course.
NxN - represents 4 arrays of 4 tiles in the precompiler to make code more portable and for security reasons of course.
pnode - The puzzle node that includes the state the puzzle is in.
f- the f variable of the heuristic.
g- the g variable of the heuristic.
h - the h variable of the heuristic.
zero_column && zero row - the variables representing the zero tile in p-node
*next and *parent - The child and parent nodes of puzzle node, each pnode holds a next with the zero column shifted either up, down, left or right, with the node up down left or right chosen provided the heuristic is cheapest
///[global variables]///
int goal_rows[NxN]; - The goal rows that hold an array of 16 nodes.
int goal_columns[NxN]; - The goal columns that hold an array of 16 nodes
struct node *start,*goal; - The starting node which is initialized and selected by the user of the program using argv[] to choose numbers 1-15 in random order plus a blank node. and to create a goal node to compare the goal and initial node
struct node *open = NULL, *closed = NULL; - Two nodes with open and available nodes along with nodes that simply cannot be added or used and are therefore placed in closed to avoid contemplating them any further.
struct node *succ_nodes[4]; - Successful nodes a pointer that points to an array of 4 pnodes that are successful.
update_fgh(struct node *pnode)
{
    pnode->f = g + h;
    for(i = 0; i < 16; i++)
        g++;
    for(j =0; j< 16; j++){
        //Goal is a global variable state.
        if(pnode->start[i] != goal[j])
            pnode->h++;
        else
            continue;
    }
    pnode->f = pnode->g+->h;
}

Boofed is the new Borked: Democrats lay a perjury trap for Brett Kavanaugh
Salacious terms in a high school yearbook could end up sinking Brett Kavanaugh. If that becomes the standard for future confirmations, we're all boofed.
Opinion columnist
As the FBI continues its investigation into claims that Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a serial sexual assaulter, it remains doubtful that dispositive or even incriminating new evidence will be uncovered given the declarations submitted on the record by principal witnesses. But that may never have been the real strategy against Kavanaugh. This looks like a perjury trap.
While Kavanaugh believed Democrats were trying to paint him as an extremist, as they did Robert Bork in 1987, they actually were trying to trap Kavanaugh into false statements on terms and conduct from decades earlier. Indeed, Kavanaugh could achieve the immortality in the lexicon of confirmations not as a "Borked" but a "boofed" nominee.
The FBI is investigating allegations by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford with the disadvantage of limited time (one week) and a locked-in record. The key witnesses have already made their statements under penalty of felonies to Congress, where they deny any recollection of the party described by Ford or even seeing such conduct by Kavanaugh. The Democrats knew this was unlikely to change with the FBI collecting additional statements.
Democrats didn't seriously question Kavanaugh
The FBI is also looking into an allegation from Deborah Ramirez, who says Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party while both were students at Yale. But Ramirez admitted to having problems recalling the event due to her own heavy drinking, and she said her memory was refreshed after she first declined to come forward. There have been no direct witnesses at this party who recall the disgusting act alleged by Ramirez.
What was most striking at the hearing is that Democratic senators did not seriously question Kavanaugh on the details of these allegations. Instead, they focused on his refusal to call for an FBI investigation or absurd asides, like Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal demanding to know whether Kavanaugh "believed Anita Hill" in her testimony against Clarence Thomas 27 years ago. The only substantive focus was on Kavanaugh's drinking in high school and college, and risqué references to his high school yearbook.
While the Democrats suggested this was meant to bolster Ford's account of Kavanaugh being almost blacked out with alcohol, it seems quite implausible given the specificity of the questions, particularly on the yearbook entries. Clearly, the Democrats were trying to establish that Kavanaugh has lied about drinking and sex in his youth.
It all came down to a single moment when Kavanaugh would be faced with admitting to alcohol abuse and embarrassing sexual terminology or deny such alleged facts under oath.
More:3 big questions hanging after Christine Blasey Ford's testimony on Brett Kavanaugh
How could both Kavanaugh and Ford seem to be telling the truth? Trauma, alcohol and time.
I was falsely accused and my reputation was disparaged. I don't regret fighting back.
Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse provided the moment by demanding to know the meaning of "boofed," "Devil's Triangle" and other terms in Kavanaugh's high school yearbook. These terms are references to anal and group sex.
Many of us were unfamiliar with them (honestly, I now realize I led a relatively monastic life), but they are apparently well-known. Kavanaugh's description of the first as flatulence and the second as a drinking game led to a torrent of ridicule. Despite someone in Congress trying to change the Wikipedia definition of "Devil's Triangle" to include a drinking game, Kavanaugh is believed by many to have knowingly lied about these terms as well as when he denied that he drank excessively.
It was a curious tactic for the Democrats who once argued that President Bill Clinton could not be impeached for lying under oath about sex. They now argue that Kavanaugh should be denied confirmation (or if confirmed actually impeached by a later Democratic Congress) on the basis of lies about drinking or sexual terms.
The fact is that there is no subject matter exception for perjury. A lie about anything counts as a lie. Clinton was rightfully impeached on this basis, and Kavanaugh could be rejected on that basis. (Full disclosure, I testified during the Clinton impeachment hearings that such perjury would constitute an impeachable offense).
Democrats boofed Kavanaugh
Where does that leave us? A new college friend has come forward to say Kavanaugh lied when he denied abusive drinking. Charles Ludington, a professor in North Carolina, told the FBI that Kavanaugh was a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk in college. Others have also contradicted Kavanaugh. However, Kavanaugh did not deny drinking. Indeed, as now famously mocked by Matt Damon on "Saturday Night Live," he repeatedly (and rather painfully) said that he liked beer. He did not deny ever being drunk.
If the assault allegations are left unproven and Kavanaugh's testimony on drinking is relatively vague, that leaves his yearbook and the sexual references often exchanged among teenage boys.
Those references in a 17-year-old's yearbook could become the legal equivalent of the Butterfly Effect (where a butterfly flapping its wings could eventually cause a typhoon in another part of the world). They have precious little to do with any alleged assault or Kavanaugh's undeniable qualifications as a jurist. The problem is that Kavanaugh had to answer the questions — or refuse to answer as a matter of dignity. A new political verb is born: to boof, leaving the nominee with the choice of either degrading or false testimony on collateral or marginal terms or conduct. As with Bork, boof will be available as a noun, and adjective and an adverb for future nominations.
Absent some sudden corroboration for Ford or Ramirez, it could come down to simply that. And if this is the standard for future confirmations, then we are all boofed.

On the evening of January 31st, 2019, the Detroit Pistons held a "Happy Chinese New Year" celebration during their home game. Acting Consul General Liu Jun and Consul Zhang Min of the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago, Vice President Arn Tellem of Detroit Pistons, representatives Vince Keenan and Roberto Torres of the Mayor of Detroit and others attended the event. The event was jointly organized by the Detroit Pistons, North American Chinese Coalition, Chinese Association of Greater Detroit, Michigan Chinese Arts Troupe, and Dragon Eagle TV.
On that night, the Pistons played against the Dallas Mavericks at the Little Caesars Arena. Before the game began, members of local Chinese organizations welcomed the audience with a fierce and fiery lion dance. During intermission, the Michigan Chinese Arts Troupe and local Chinese school arts groups brought the spirit of traditional Chinese culture alive with performances of a dragon and lion dance, percussion-based dance, waist-drumming, and a display of Tai Chi. Specially-invited artists from the Sichuan Opera Company stunned the audience with acts such as mask-changing and a long-silk dance. Acting Consul General Liu Jun was also invited to the center of the stadium to wish the audience happy new year. Throughout the game, the entire stadium was heavy with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival and the undulating booms of cheer and applause.
Before the game began, Acting Consul General Liu Jun attended a special guest reception and there extended New Year greetings to the other guests. He expressed that the Spring Festival, which has a history of more than 4,000 years, is still China's most important traditional festival. This holiday is the embodiment of the Chinese people's sentiments, traditions, aesthetics and cultural origins. In recent years, every time the Spring Festival rolls around, nations all over the world, including the United States, organizes a variety of celebrations. Tonight is the third time since 2017 the Pistons have invited local Chinese arts troupes to put on live performances and celebrate the Chinese New Year with fans at their home game. I would like to express my deepest of gratitude to all who have given tremendous support to tonight's event and to the local Chinese community.
Acting Consul General Liu Jun continued that this year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Both of our countries are holding a series of important celebrations including athletic and cultural activities. As two nations with great global influence, the development of China-US relations has an immeasurable impact not only on our two countries, but also on the world at large. Thus, it is our responsibility to work together to set the development of China-US relations on a healthy and stable track. Cultural exchanges are currently playing an important role in promoting friendly relations between the two countries and enhancing friendships between both peoples.
On behalf of the Mayor of Detroit, Vince Keenan extended New Year greetings to the overseas Chinese community. In his speech, he affirmed that the city of Detroit attaches great importance to developing friendly relations with China in various fields and acknowledges with absolute respect the contributions the local Chinese community has made towards the building of the city.
During the game, Acting Consul General Liu Jun had a friendly interaction and exchanged gifts with Vice President Teller. They also both conducted TV interviews with local Chinese media outlets.


Brownie, Chocolate, Pie, OH MY! Two of the best desserts collide to make one decadent and rich protein treat. If you're a fan of chocolate, you really must try this! It is my very first brownie pie I have ever made and I was very pleased with the results. Making anything into a pie is fun to me. Making a brownie into a pie. Fun and delicious. Enjoy!

Do you have any good vegan protein powder recommendations?
I do not, I'm sorry. I have never used any.


This is a list of script writers for the original series that I personally consider to be recognised science fiction writers. I think that most of the scriptwriting since then has been by people who don't write science fiction for a living, which may argue for the higher level of science fiction in their stories in the original three seasons, especially regarding social issues and cultural change as opposed to action and adventure.
Maybe the serious science fiction writers are concentrating more on movie deals?
Robert Bloch, who also wrote the story for psycho. He was a horror, fantasy and science fiction writer, as well as a crime writer. He won the Hugo Award (SF), the World Fantasy Award, and the Bram Stoker Award. He wrote the episodes What are Little Girls Made Of, Catspaw, and Wolf in the Fold. These were entertaining, with a nice flavour of horror mixed into the last two.
George Clayton Johnston, who co-wrote Logan's Run, and a number of Twilight Zone episodes. We wrote The Man Trap. I would not call this a great episode.
Richard Matheson, who wrote I am Legend and a number of Twilight Zone episodes, including Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. He wrote The Enemy Within, one of the great episodes. This episode addresses the issue of how essential a person's darker side has a role in her/his life.
Theodore Sturgeon, a highly influential write who won the Hugo and the Nebula Awards. We wrote Shore Leave and Amok Time, the latter of which is one of the great episodes.
Harlan Ellison, probably the pre-eminent science fiction short story writer of the twentieth century, and a highly prolific screen writer. He wrote my favourite episode, The City on the Edge of Forever. Although largely modified from the original story, it is a touching tale of duty versus love, on more than one level. According to Wikipedia, he has won 11 Hugos, 4 Nebulas, 6 Bram Stokers, and 18 Locus Awards.
Jerome Bixby, who wrote the classic short It's a Good Life (used in the Twilight Zone and the Twilight Zone movie), co-wrote the story behind the Asimov movie Fanastic Voyage, and wrote the great Star Trek episodes Mirror, Mirror and Day of the Dove. He also did Requiem for Methuselah and By Any Other Name, both of which were good.
Norman Spinrad, a well respected writer and two-time president of the Science Fiction Writers Association. He wrote The Doomsday Machine. At the time, this was not a cliche issue.
Frederic Brown wrote a classic SF short story called Arena, which was the basis for the Star Trek episode of the same name. The tv episode was okay, but the short story was wonderful. He was a well respected writer from the Golden Age of Science Fiction.
Last but not least, David Gerrold, who wrote The Trouble with Tribbles. He also won the Hugo and Nebula Awards for the novelette The Martian Child. Finally, he wrote a wonderful comedic SF novel with Larry Niven called the Flying Sorcerers.

Legal Aspects of Insurance Contracts – A word for insurers and the insured
Insurance contracts, in simple terms, involve the provision of cover from loss(es) by one party called the insurer to another known as the insured (policyholder). As basic as the foregoing sounds, it is important to state that insurance contracts are quite different from ordinary contracts for reasons that would be set forth in this article.
An insurance contract is valid when you have parties, consideration and acceptance of terms like it is the case in regular contracts. The insurer agrees to underwrite the risks which the insured proposes to be protected against. Local regulations also prevail on insurance contracts to which all parties must adhere strictly to. International laws also apply to some types of insurance such as those governing admiralty/marine.
Parties to an insurance agreement must conduct due diligence before putting ink to paper. The foremost legal component of an insurance contract is to understand the limitations under such agreement. This is the point from which most disputes between the parties usually arise. Determining the extent of the risks which the insurer is obligated to compensate for is usually subject to legal suits. It is, therefore, often legally advisable for both parties to study the agreement document properly before signing. For example, an insurance contract which does not list specific anticipatory losses which the insured may suffer means that policyholders may have a hard time getting indemnified. So, if the subject-matter for a household insurance contract is only against loss by fire but the house is destroyed by flood, then the insurer is not bound to indemnify the insured at all.
Another common scenario in a place like Nigeria is what is now widely referred to as "no premium, no cover". If at the time of loss or damage the insured is in arrears of premium, then by law, the insurer incurs no liabilities.
Further, there might also be limitation laws, such as in Nigeria and Commonwealth countries, where an action in contract cannot be filed by the party who suffers in a court of law after six years have lapsed since the breach occurred. General limitations like wars, acts of nature and riots are also exceptions that prevent insurers from providing indemnity under the insurance contract.
The next legal hurdle to consider in insurance contracts is the issue of fraudulent misrepresentation. All contracts including insurance are entered into on the basis of good faith representations. Each party represents that there is no fraudulent fact which is presented knowingly as being the truth. When an insured party under a life insurance contract, for instance, lies to an insurer about material facts such as age or other pre-existing health conditions – which are reasonably expected to be disclosed – this may be legal ground for such insurer to avoid contractual obligations.
Nigeria's Insurance Act 2003 addresses fraudulent misrepresentation and states, specifically in Section 69 (3) that no sum shall be payable by an insurer:
"(a) in an action commenced before or within 3 months, after the commencement of the proceedings in which the judgment was given, the insurer has obtained a declaration that apart from any provisions contained in the policy, he is entitled to avoid it on the ground that it was obtained by the non-disclosure of a material fact or by a representation of fact which was false in a material particular;…"
An insurer should be particularly careful when it engages agents to sell insurance. There might be consequences for an insurer whose agent has misrepresented facts to an insured. The principle is that such an insurer is bound by the ostensible acts of its agent as the acts of the agents will be construed as those of the insurer.
Another important legal component is what is known as insurable interest. For general insurance, the policyholder must have an "insurable interest" at the time the contract is entered into. This means that there must be some benefit the policyholder stands to lose if the subject matter is lost or destroyed.
By this rule of insurable interest, no third party has the right to bring a direct action against an insurer. An insured can also not bring a direct action against an insurer's re-insurer under the doctrine of privity of contract. Insurers, unlike the insured, have the right to bring direct actions against third parties – by subrogation – which gives an insurer standing to sue third parties after indemnity has been paid to the insured. However, one exception to insurable interest general rule is life insurance, where the beneficiary does not need to have insurable interest at the time the contract is made.
Insurance contracts are not all about legal wrangling between the parties that enter them. The benefits of insurance policies on homes, vehicles and life are significant.
The last legal hurdle to be crossed in insurance contracts is settlement of claims. Most insurers take pride in making good their bond that genuine claims will be settled expeditiously. It is not so simple in reality to fulfill this promise taking into cognizance all that has been discussed above in this article. The notorious difficulty in this area is commercial aviation disasters. Airlines are legally bound to insure aircrafts, passengers and cargo. Aviation accident bureaus are normally tasked with investigating airline disasters, which, in truth, takes longer to conduct before the cause of accident is determined. These sorts of delays are likely to affect prompt payment of claims to affected passengers.
It may amount to wishful thinking to presume that all insurance contracts are perfect. Parties under an insurance arrangement must ensure that there is a consensus on all points in the contract. Whether or not disputes will end up in the law courts in the future will partly depend on the circumstance and wordings of each insurance contract.
