Crump says arrest of 5 Black Memphis officers should be blueprint for cases involving white officers
A day after five Black Memphis police officers were arrested for their involvement in a Jan. 7 encounter with Tyre Nichols, who died three days later, civil rights attorney Ben Crump held a press conference. Crump, who represents the Nichols family, said the speed at which the officers were arrested should be a blueprint for all cases of alleged police violence, regardless of whether the officers are Black or white.
Three older adults were swallowed by a sinkhole in a front yard in New York, police said. Police responded to a home in Huntington, Long Island, early in the morning on Jan. 26 after they received a report of a woman in a hole in the ground, according to a statement from the Suffolk County Police Department. The woman, 71, tumbled into the hole as she was leaving her house to head to work, according to NBC New York.
An attorney for one of the cops charged in Tyre Nichols' death said nobody "intended" for him to die. Prosecutors say Nichols was brutally beaten by police in Memphis, Tennessee, earlier this month. A defense attorney for one of the five fired Memphis, Tennessee, police officers charged in the beating death of Tyre Nichols said the cops never "intended" for the young Black motorist to die.

This past December, the physics Nobel Prize was awarded for the experimental confirmation of a quantum phenomenon known for more than 80 years: entanglement. As envisioned by Albert Einstein and his collaborators in 1935, quantum objects can be mysteriously correlated even if they are separated by large distances. Coincidentally, just a few weeks before the new Nobel laureates were honored in Stockholm, a different team of distinguished scientists from Harvard, MIT, Caltech, Fermilab and Google reported that they had run a process on Google's quantum computer that could be interpreted as a wormhole.
UPDATE 1-Kremlin says Biden has key to end Ukraine conflict but doesn't use it
Jan 27 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden had the key to end the conflict in Ukraine by directing Kyiv, but that Washington had so far not been willing to use it. "The key to the Kyiv regime is largely in the hands of Washington," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a daily briefing. Moscow has often accused Washington of giving orders to Ukraine and of prolonging the conflict by supplying Kyiv with weapons.

Russian soldiers bring their weapons home from front line and open fire on people
The Russian soldiers are taking away weapons from the combat zone; dozens of servicemen have already been put on trial for mishandling guns. Details: Since the beginning of the full-scale war in February 2022, at least 42 servicemen in Russia have appeared in court for the appropriation, storage, transportation and carrying of weapons, ammunition and explosive devices (Articles 222 and 222.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Judging by the published verdicts, the Russian soldiers bring the firearms found at the front back home or keep unused cartridges and grenades for themselves.
Intel's 'historic collapse' erases $8 billion from market value
Intel Corp saw about $8 billion wiped off its market value on Friday after the U.S. chipmaker stumped Wall Street with dismal earnings projections, fanning fears around a slump in the personal-computer market. The company predicted a surprise loss for the first quarter and its revenue forecast was $3 billion below estimates as it also struggled with slowing growth in the data center business. Intel shares closed 6.4% lower, while rival Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia ended the session up 0.3% and 2.8%, respectively.

In the long sequence of high-profile deaths of Black men at the hands of American police, the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis shared many of the same hallmarks: a traffic stop that turns violent, an outraged community and a critical release of video footage. All five police officers now charged with his murder are Black. "Black people and Black police officers can carry with them some of the same understandings or views of Black people as white police officers might," said Ralph Richard Banks, law professor and faculty director of the Stanford Center for Racial Justice.

Everyone Is Taking This Drug to Lose Weight. Instead, It's Rapidly Aging Their Faces.
Ozempic is a medication that's designed to help manage insulin levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, it's recently gotten attention after a slew of people spoke out on social media about using the drug for weight loss. Ozempic, which is a brand name for semaglutide, is currently on the Food and Drug Administration's list of drug shortages, and many have pointed the finger at people using the medication off-label for weight loss as the reason it's hard to find at the moment.
Criminal defense attorney and regular Fox News guest Brian Claypool was left utterly humiliated on Friday when he suggested there was no evidence that Paul Pelosi's attacker broke into his home—all despite the release of a security video showing exactly that. In fact, Fox News anchors had to air the actual footage of the break-in for Claypool, who had just appeared on the network the night before to discuss the impending release of the tapes. Debunking a slew of right-wing conspiracies about the brutal attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Friday's release of the 911 call, police body-cam video, and security footage showed alleged attacker David DePape violently swinging a large hammer to bust through a door before entering the home through a broken window.

'Trump fatigue' in New Hampshire complicates 2024 White House bid
In interviews with 10 New Hampshire Republican Party officials and members, some of whom worked on Trump's 2016 primary campaign and all of whom have been staunch Trump supporters in the past, Reuters found only three who were sticking with him this time around - including the state chair, an influential Republican figure who is so enthusiastic about Trump he is stepping down on Saturday to help his campaign. The rest cited exhaustion with Trump's controversies, exasperation at the constant drama, and a desire to move on from Trump's loss in 2020 with a fresh face who they thought would have a stronger chance of winning in 2024. Trump's campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

What would you do if money were no object? A familiar question I'm sure. Often we fantasise about the choices we'd make if we had enough money to act without fear. But there is another interpretation of this familiar idiomatic question that is much less considered.
What if money literally were no object? ie. what if it didn't exist at all? What if we never traded? What if we never got paid, and everything was free? Sounds crazy, right? Well it's not so crazy as you might think, and, chances are, you're already engaging in this kind of behaviour.
But first, what is money anyway?
In recent years, assessing humanity's economic progress from a purely archaeological point of view, it's beginning to appear like our generally accepted story of money being the 'inevitable' replacement for the impracticalities of barter has zero evidential basis. According to anthropologist David Graeber and a growing school of archaeologists, there is no evidence whatsoever that any such 'barter markets' or widespread community bartering ever took place.
It appears far more likely that money, in the form of precious metal coins, was first deployed at scale by emperors and kings to enable their marching armies secure basic necessities during the course of their conquests.1 This legal coinage also provided a convenient way for rulers to collect taxes and mete out financial penalties to their subjects. Thus, in the business of war and extortion were sown the seeds of modern society.
With the advent of money and the numerical simplicity it brought, our economy pretty soon became based on explicit trade – that is, exchanging like-for-like value in an exclusive one-to-one arrangement. But if we are to accept that money and explicit trade systems have only been in existence for the last five thousand years or so, then that only accounts for five percent of our entire modern human history.
So how did we survive the first ninety-five percent without it?
Presumably, very few people today would wish to return to that humble, hard-working life of our non-monetary forebears, but this time it's different. We now have highly advanced technology to support most of our wants and needs with minimal – and increasingly zero – effort.4 So, the question is, could humans return to a non-trading, non-monetary, yet more advanced system?
The answer, I believe, is yes – if we merely chose to, and organised our priorities towards that purpose.
Today, there are many change movements centred around this idea of a better world beyond money, trade and all their socially and environmentally destructive spin-offs, movements that have identified the pursuit of profit and growth as inherently detrimental to our planet and the general health of human society.
One such movement is The Free World Charter; a ten-point document that describes itself as 'minimum operating requirements for a freer, fairer and more just society'. Each Charter principle defines an optimal standard which, if adhered to, could produce the best long-term outcome for humanity and our planetary cohabitants. These principles are about shifting our priorities and attitudes towards our ecosystem, our human community and future life on this planet.
This declares that, regardless of whatever else we might believe, our shared fortunes and that of our biosphere must take precedence.
This effectively rules out trade as the optimal mechanism for meeting people's basic needs. And, since our trade-based world fails to meet half the world population's needs and renders life unnecessarily stressful for the other half, it's a difficult point to argue.
So, if we removed money and trade, would that situation improve? How would we automatically meet everyone's needs by doing so? And how do we know?
Well, the honest answer is, we don't know. Because our society is highly complex and such a system has never been tried at that scale, we can't say for certain that a worldwide money-free system will work. But we can infer a lot.
1. Our current expectations of life and levels of mass consumption are unsustainable and we have already put ourselves and our planet in great peril. To put it rather grimly, one way or the other, current rates of consumption will stop.
2. Technological advances are continually reducing production costs and eroding the human labour market – without which a trading economy as we know it cannot function.
So, while there are many arguments like social equality and justice that would make a money-free world desirable, there are also factors at play that are rendering it inevitable.
So, why is going money-free the answer? And what makes me think it will work?
When life is a money-based predatorial game, it rewards us for predatory behaviour. We benefit by being selfish and greedy. Yet, even despite this, our social nature is so strong that even the most poor and desperate are still drawn to altruistic and cooperative behaviour among their family and friends. And of course, in times of crisis and danger, most people automatically look to the welfare of others.
We are naturally social. And it's not difficult to imagine that removing the predatorial money-game from society would only enhance that cooperative, compassionate urge exponentially.
We have incredible technological capabilities. We can provide the basic necessities of life through advanced agricultural and production methods with minimal human toil. The automation which terrifies the vanguards of economic growth is actually our saviour, not our assassin. We can leverage the best of technology, combine it with a basic community volunteer system, and provide an abundance for all our basic needs with minimal effort.
This technological bounty already exists in modern society, but lies behind locked doors in the monetary maze, where we, like rats, must undertake tasks to release it. Without those restraints in the production of technology itself, one can only imagine what other marvels could also be made possible.
There is no longer any logical, scientific reason not to give people free access to the things they need to live. In fact, continuing not to do so in such an enlightened age is tantamount to barbarism.
How we think about behaviour and how we perceive the world are nothing more than reflections of the system in which we operate. We regard some people as greedy or selfish, but isn't it more likely that that is a result of the nature of the system rather than the nature of people? Isn't it far more likely that a person brought up in desperate need of basic necessities would develop selfish adult behaviour as a result, rather than through some innate, irrational meanness?
We see ugly stampedes for 'bargains' and never stop to think that it isn't the stampede that's ugly, but rather the restraining system before and after that instigates it.
Our behaviour always has a purpose and a source.
We see ugly stampedes for 'bargains' and never stop to think that it isn't the stampede that's ugly, but rather the restraining system before and after that instigates it. We see chaotic protests and decry people's violence, but never consider the structural violence that brought those people to that point of violent desperation.
Because our restraining systems are in force 99.99% of the time, they are considered normal, and the release abnormal.
To us, a system of competition is 'normal' because we haven't experienced anything else out in the wider world. Our entire education system is based on peer competition, pressure and scarcity of grades. Why would we believe life to be any different when we have never been taught any different?
The education system of a money-free world would teach group thinking and cooperation, not competition. It would provide essential life lessons in community respect and responsibility. It would foster empathy, compassion, self-confidence and self-awareness. It would teach effective communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving. It would intentionally provide a solid foundation for the kind of community and lifestyle that works for everyone.
Just as our current education program prepares students for a world of careers, competition and individualism, we can equally prepare them for a world of cooperation, compassion and community.
We know that a time of great change is upon us. Only a fool would argue that at this stage. Yet most still want to frame the solutions within the same context of the problem. They say, "tighter regulation" or "greater wealth distribution" or in some cases, "free money for everyone!" While ameliorating some of the symptoms, none of these solutions appear to be even vaguely cognisant of the problem.
Who would honestly believe that if you jailed every corrupt politician and banker and replaced them with someone else that the same problems wouldn't just appear again shortly later?
The very notion of profit and scarcity creates the incentive that drives irresponsible behaviour. No matter how you regulate it, or shuffle policies and personnel – as long as that incentive remains – irresponsible behaviour will always result.
Who would honestly believe that if you jailed every corrupt politician and banker and replaced them with someone else that the same problems wouldn't just appear again shortly later? Who would honestly believe that if you stripped every billionaire of all their assets and redistributed their wealth to the poor that you wouldn't just end up with a different set of billionaires and poor within a few years?
The money and trade system is today nothing more than a superfluous game on which we operate society, deciding who gets what. Changing the rules will only ever have limited results. We need to change the game entirely and evolve our thinking to match our technological capabilities and the challenges that face us.
In a money-free world where we each guarantee a certain level of commitment to our communities, where we understand the follies of mindless consumption through our history lessons, where we are uniquely appraised of the importance and fragility of our community and natural systems, we would understand our most precious resource is life itself, and each other.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of movements currently proposing these kinds of changes in the world today. Please give them your consideration and support, and let's try to move ourselves onto Level 2.
A small, portable store of value was certainly more practical for making long journeys than hauling livestock and supplies around with you.
Presumably the reverse would also be true: if you weren't a productive member of that community, the same implicit form of accounting would eventually catch up with you.
Adherence to fossil fuels, reckless resource extraction and poor production methods for short-term interest, etc.
Jeremy Rifkin's The Zero Marginal Cost Society makes a compelling case for production prices moving towards zero.
And of course, as with any other species, we only revert to violence when threatened.
The International Red Cross apparently has over 100 million volunteers worldwide. That's 1.3% of the world population in just one organisation, often working in dangerous jobs, in a society that explicitly disincentivises volunteering.
I always hasten to add that the 'malingerer' argument would be at least no different from the same argument one could apply today, and likely be far less a problem in a society that didn't systematically marginalise people.

The City of Dublin has made economic development a top priority. To that end, the City has developed a number of incentives to assist in the attraction of new business. Following are some of the most recently developed programs:
Sales Tax Reimbursement Program
For businesses that generate more than $10 million in taxable sales, the City has developed a program to help offset investments in improvements to the site or building that the business proposes to occupy. The City will reimburse a business up to 50% of their annual sales tax for a period of five years, up to the amount they invested in the property. For users that generate more than $50 million in taxable sales, the City will reimburse a business up to 50% for a period of 10 years.
Business A is expected to generate $20 million in taxable sales annually (attributable to the City of Dublin). Business A needs to invest $500,000 in building improvements. Business A enters into an agreement with the City to be reimbursed for their improvements. Business A generates the anticipated $20 million in year one. This results in $200,000 in new sales tax revenue to the City of Dublin. Of this amount, Business A is eligible for $100,000 in year one (50% of the new sales tax revenue to the City).
For more information on the program, please review the Program Fact Sheet.
Hotel Incentive Program
The City Council established a hotel incentive program to encourage the development of new hotels, as well as promote reinvestment in existing hotels in the City of Dublin. To be eligible for the program, a hotel must have 125 or more rooms and be of a quality that it meets a four-star (first class) / three-star (comfort new hotel) or four diamond (first class) / three diamond (comfort new hotel) hotel rating or higher under the rating criteria established by the American Automobile Association (AAA), JD Power and Associates, or comparable hotel rating entity.
Rebate Limits
The amount of the TOT rebate shall be no greater than the funding gap identified in the applicant's feasibility analysis. The analysis will be independently reviewed by a City consultant, and must prove that, but for this program, the development or improvement would not occur.
The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) rebate will be no more than 70% for a 4-star hotel and no more than 50% for a 3-star hotel. Renovated hotels are eligible to receive a TOT rebate of 50% of the increment above existing TOT levels for up to 10 years. The term of the rebate shall be no longer than 20 years for a 4-star hotel, and no longer than 15 years for a 3-star hotel.
The Program Fact Sheet is also available in Chinese.
Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program
The City offers a Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program for commercial businesses located in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Area and the segment of Dublin Boulevard between Village Parkway and Dougherty Road. This grant would permit commercial property owners, or tenants with long-term leases (five or more years remaining on the lease at the time a Program application is submitted), to apply for either: 1) a mini-grant for reimbursement of up to five thousand dollars ($5,000); or 2) a matching grant, which would provide reimbursement for two-thirds (66%) of eligible project costs, up to a maximum determined by the Fiscal Year budget cycle annually. The total cost of the improvement work must be more than five thousand dollars ($5,000). Receipt of a matching grant requires the approved applicant to contribute a minimum of one-third of the total cost of the facade improvement costs. As part of the program, an agreement will be signed between the applicant and City (click here for a sample agreement).
Fee Deferral Program
The City offers two Fee Deferral Programs, one for non-residential development and another for multi-family residential projects within the Transit Districts. The non-residential development deferral allows development to pay Traffic Impact Fees to the City just prior to occupancy. The multi-family residential development deferral allows the Traffic Impact Fees, Public Facilities Fees and Fire Facilities Fees to be paid just prior to occupancy.
Small Business Assistance Program
The City offers a Small Business Assistance Program to assist Dublin-based businesses with the cost of complying with federal, state, and local laws relating to disability access requirements, trash enclosures, sewer connections, and other such obligations imposed on small businesses. City staff is also available to provide the following services:
One-to-one assistance with zoning related questions
Sewer Capacity Assistance Program
In partnership with the Dublin San Ramon Services District (provider of water and sewer service), the City has offered financial assistance to businesses that required new or additional local and regional sewer capacity. A limited amount of sewer capacity credits are available, with a preference for businesses located in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area; however, applications for assistance elsewhere will be considered on a case- by-case basis.
As part of the Program, the City has provided assistance from 25% to 100% of the DSRSD local and regional sewer connection fees that would otherwise be paid by the applicant. As outlined in the chart below, the percentage of assistance varies by user type and square footage:
User Type
Greater than 5,000 square feet - 50%
Between 3,500 and 5,000 square feet - 75%
Less than 3,500 square feet - 100%
Casual Dining (Excluding fast food)
Between 3,500 and 5,00 square feet - 50%
Less than 3,500 square feet - 75%
Specialty Food (Coffee, deli, bakery, etc.)
Greater 5,000 square feet - 50%
Between 3,500 square feet - 75%
Entertainment/Nightlife (Wine bars, taprooms, etc.)
Between 3,500 and 5,000 square foot - 75%
Less than 3,500 square foot - 100%
PACE Financing for Energy Upgrades

Some examples on ways that you can save money include:

Review: Repentant (PC) ~ Life Goes On
Life goes on. Of course, it does. Repentant recently released and the game is a continuation from Little Kite. But, if you haven't played the original, you can still play Repentant. Full disclosure, I got a press-code from the developer to write this article. But, the developer wanted me to give my 100% honest opinion. So, that's what you are getting today. What is my 100% honest opinion on this point-and-click adventure game, one of my favorite genres ever! Let's find out. And as usual, feel free to leave a comment with your opinion on the content of this article and/or the game in the comment section down below.
Oliver goes shopping
The sequel of Little Kite follows Oliver, the abusive boyfriend. Now, I could try to explain the game to you, but I feel like the introduction written by the developers on the store page explains the plot of the game the best:
Experienced criminal Oliver begins to suffer from strong remorse after the terrible deeds of which his family has suffered. Unsuccessful attempts to restore relations with his ex-wife further worsen his condition and alcohol dependence.
One day in a small shop, he becomes a witness of a robbery committed by a young girl. At this moment, he gets the opportunity to atone for his sins by helping another person. But who really needs help and who is the victim? It remains to be seen.
The writing in this game is amazing. The story really gripped me from the moment it started. I love experiencing stories like these since they stay realistic and down to earth. Also, it shows the other side of life, that it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
The game got translated into Russian, Ukraine and into Dutch. I can't speak about the Russian nor the Ukrian since I don't speak either language, but judging from the quality of the Dutch translation, I can say it's quite good. For those who don't know, I'm not a native English speaker. My native language is Flemish, which is "a sort of Dutch". Something like American and British is a sort of English.
The voice-acting isn't translated, it's only the subtitles of the game. Now, I'll talk more about the voice-acting in just a minute, but first I want to quickly say something about the Dutch translation. Personally, I didn't like it. There is nothing wrong with the translation, but it uses more expressions and sayings used in the Netherlands than Flemish ones. I got a bit put off by that as a Flemish-native. But, this is more of a nitpick. Compare it to, an American gamer getting annoyed at the subtitles since they are in UK English. It won't ruin the experience, but it's noticeable sometimes. So, that's why I played the game in English.
So, that ramble aside, I wanted to talk about the voice-acting. This game has decent voice acting. Especially the voice acting of the girl is extremely well done. And the type of voice really matches the characters as well. Yet, the voice acting didn't always click with me. I can't put my finger on why I think that, but I feel like it was a bit bland sometimes, not enough emotion. Then again, I felt that the voice acting pulled me more into the story. So, yeah.
The dialogue can go, sort of, automatically. When you don't press a button to continue the dialogue, it continues on its own after a while.
Drawn gameplay
The visuals in this game are amazing. I really like the art style. It feels like you are playing the story inside a painting or a realistic comic book. If I were to nitpick, I would say that I disliked that not every sign and such was in English. Then again, I don't think this game takes place in an English speaking country, so that adds to the atmosphere.
The game takes place in the night store. It has basically four screens where the whole adventure takes place. There is one screen that's an exception, but talking about that would be a spoiler. I really like how the whole story is in this night store. The full-screen artwork for some cutscenes is amazing.
The visual presentation is enhanced by decent animation. There is a minor thing I could criticize about the animations. The running animation looks so unnatural. If you double-click, Oliver uses the same walk cycle but moves twice as quick. And strangely enough, this only works outside the store.
Overall, the game runs at a consistent frame rate, apart from that one scene outside the store and the storefront. The game requires 512MB VRAM, and I have 2GB in my PC. Yet, I had some frame stuttering and some frame drops. The game was still playable but it was quite noticeable during that section.
The visual presentation is accompanied by an enjoyable soundtrack. The only thing that I would have done differently is to loop the music so the player would have been unable to know when the track started or when it ended. I think I say enough about the soundtrack with this: "If it was ever released as a sort of DLC package on Steam, it would be an instant-buy for me. I would add it to my playlist for when in the mood for more relaxing music or tense music."
While I was playing this game, I was really enjoying solving the puzzles. The controls for this game are really good. You only need the mouse to play this game.
Now, if you ever get stuck, the game has a hint system. And this hint system isn't one of the best in my opinion.
You can click it 20 times in the whole game. It does circle all clickable areas. It doesn't give you any other hints on how to progress or what items you need for the current puzzle. Since it also circles items you can't pick up or need for a later puzzle. I think that this game could have used a system like in the Broken Sword series where you could ask for a clue on what to do next and when you get stuck (read, don't progress or solve the puzzle after a certain amount of time), you get access to a clue revealing even more.
Anyways, the rest of the UI is good. The inventory system is at the top and you have your menu button at the left bottom corner of the screen. Besides the hint button. Now, you can combine items. Near the end, I discovered that some combinations didn't get any reaction out of Oliver. Like the bandage with the kettle.
Another minor change I would have done is, change "play" in the main menu to "new game". Since clicking that option always starts a new game and it would avoid people thinking that it's a way to reload the latest checkpoint.
This game isn't too difficult for veteran point-and-click players. If you have played games like Beneath the Steel Sky, Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Deponia… This game shouldn't be a problem for you. What I'm saying here is that experience in the genre helps you to get through this game. If you don't have experience in the genre, always ask yourself this question, what exactly is stopping me from progressing the story and what do I have in my inventory or around me to aid in solving the issue?
This game autosaves, so that means that after you have solved some puzzles, the game autosaves. You can't save in between. At first, I found this kind of disappointing but the autosaves are so frequent that it isn't a problem.
For 6€, you get an adventure that lasts roughly one hour. This sounds short, but it's a great ride. I have finished this game in 2,5 hours. Granted, I have left the game running while I was writing this review for example.
So, that's everything I wanted to say about this game, it's time for the conclusion.
-The music should fade in and out better.
-The game is too short.
-The voice acting was sometimes hit & miss.
-In one area some minor frame drops.
-The hint system could have been more fleshed out.
+ The voice acting can be a hit sometimes.
+ Amazing visuals.
+ Enjoyable puzzles.
+ Great story & writing.
I have played both games in this series and I enjoyed both of these games. Personally, I found that Repentant is the better game of the two. The addition of voice acting really adds a lot to the game.
While the game is rather short, I really enjoyed myself with this game. I would love to see a third entry into the series exploring the aftermath of the situation from Mary's point of view.
While the game could have used some more polish, I think that this game was worth the wait. I can't wait to see what the developers are going to put out next. Since now I'm hyped for their next adventure game!
Thank you for reading this review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope to be able to welcome you in another article but until then, take care and have a great rest of your day.

Cocobay Da Nang
May 4, 2021 By James Clark Leave a Comment
Cocobay is a leisure and entertainment complex in Da Nang, with a total investment of VND14-trillion (US$617 million) by the Empire Group. Cocobay is located halfway between Da Nang and Hoi An, covering an area of 31 hectares with a 600-metre beachfront.
Accommodation of three to five-star standards ranges from hotels, condotels, semi-detached houses, townhouses, and apartments. There will be 10,000 rooms available when it is completed.
Entertainment includes restaurants, a beach club, a 1,200-seat indoor theatre, and 2,000-seat outdoor arena, an amusement park, bars, clubs, karaoke, and shopping malls, and a pedestrian street. The promotion text says that it's "inspired by Las Vegas", though there is no plan to build a casino at Cocobay.
The centrepiece of the project is Cocobay Towers. The twin towers of approximately 200 metres will be connected by two sky bridges that form a loop on the 48th floor. In 2017 it was confirmed that the Viceroy Hotel Group will be the anchor hotel and that it would be completed by 2020.
At the launch of Cocobay Towers, Cristiano Ronaldo announced that he was the owner of an apartment in the towers (it's not specified if this was part of a promotional deal).
The construction of Cocobay Towers has stalled, with no indication of when it might start. Promotional material from Cocobay show the towers in two different positions.
In 2019 the investor of Cocobay said that they could not honour their promotional deal of offering an annual return of 10-12.5% during the first eight years.
On my most recent visit in October 2020, the complex was closed to visitors.

To provide direction for the identification and management of incompatible offenders
Applies to staff responsible for identifying and managing incompatible offenders
Annex A: Cross-References and Definition
The Assistant Commissioner, Correctional Operations and Programs, will establish national processes to support the identification and management of incompatible offenders.
The Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Institutional Operations, will:
a.	provide support and direction to Institutional Heads/District Directors on the management of incompatible offenders
ensure communication with the other regions regarding the management of incompatibles
provide direction to Security Operations on intelligence strategies, initiatives and activities for the identification and management of incompatible offenders
provide advice and ensure processes in line with national processes are in place at the regional level for the identification and management of incompatible offenders.
The Institutional Head/District Director will:
ensure the procedures relating to the identification and verification of incompatible offenders are adhered to
establish and implement conflict resolution processes to attempt to resolve incompatibilities.
The Security Intelligence Officer will coordinate and implement procedures for the identification and management of incompatible offenders.
The Security Intelligence Officer, in consultation with members of the Case Management Team, will assess and record any incompatibility. The following forms must be used for this exercise: Incompatible List (CSC/SCC 1307-01) and Incompatible Management ' Verification/Deletion & Conflict Resolution (CSC/SCC 1307-02).
The recording of incompatibilities in the Offender Management System will include all links and cross-references to incompatible offenders and groups including, but not limited to, security threat groups.
The Security Intelligence Officer will review the validity of offender incompatibilities for their continued relevance prior to any significant decision being made.
All incompatibilities between individuals or groups (e.g. rival gangs or security threat groups) must be thoroughly examined before proceeding to a transfer or conditional release to a parole office or community-based residential facility to ensure the safety of staff, the public and the offenders.
After consultation with the Case Management Team, the Security Intelligence Officer will make recommendations to the Institutional Head regarding the removal of any notation of incompatibility when it is determined that it is no longer valid or relevant. This review must be based on all pertinent information from various sources, including Statement/Observation Reports, Security Intelligence Reports, input from frontline staff (e.g. Chaplains, Instructors, Program Officers, etc.) and law enforcement agencies.
When a staff member becomes aware of information that may identify offenders as being incompatible, this information will be reported in writing, via the Statement/Observation Report (CSC/SCC 0875), to the Security Intelligence Officer who will take the appropriate action.
Conflict resolution will be considered where appropriate to allow the incompatible offenders to resolve the reasons for their incompatibilities.
If conflict resolution was unsuccessful or not warranted, various risk management options will be considered including, but not limited to:
incompatible offenders will not normally be transferred to the same institution unless the risk can be managed within the same institution (i.e. in a different unit or range)
incompatible offenders will not normally be housed in the same unit, range or cell
incompatible offenders will not normally be housed in the same community-based residential facility
precautions will be taken when incompatible offenders report to the same parole office.

Boho vintage leather handbag with detachable shoulder strap. Purchased from Montaldo's, a high-end store in Denver, in the mid-1990s. There are no labels or brand markings on the bag. At the time I purchased it, I was told it was Italian leather. Intricate leather accents in red, purple, green and brown/bronze. Fringed tassel on snap closure. Fabric lining in perfect condition. One interior zip pocket. A cool bag that has been tucked away in my closet for about 20 years.

Das Tetraevangeliar von Zar Iwan Alexander oder Die Vier Evangelien des Zaren Iwan Alexander (/ Tschetweroewangelie na (Zar) Iwan Alexandar) ist ein illuminiertes Evangeliar, das in mittelbulgarischer Sprache 1355–1356 von einem Mönch namens Simeon im Auftrag des bulgarischen Zaren Iwan Alexander geschrieben wurde. Das Manuskript ist einer der wichtigsten literarischen Kunstschätze der mittelalterlichen bulgarischen Kultur und ein bedeutendes Werk der Tarnowoer Literatur- und Malschule.

Das Manuskript, das sich heute in der Londoner British Library (Add. MS 39627) befindet, besteht aus den Texten der vier Evangelien die mit 366 (oder 352, je nach Gruppierung) Miniaturen illustriert und auf 286, 33 x 24,3 cm großen, Pergamentblättern zusammengefasst wurden. Folio 74, auf der das Jüngste Gericht dargestellt war, wurde in der Vergangenheit gestohlen.

Im späten 14. Jahrhundert befand sich die Handschrift in Moldawien, wo es u. a. dem Prinzen Alexandru cel Bun gehörte. Zu einem unbekannten Zeitpunkt gelangte die Handschrift auf den Athos. 1837 befand sich die Handschrift im Kloster Agiou Pavlou und wurde von dort durch Robert Curzon nach England gebracht. 1917 wurde die Handschrift der British Library geschenkt. 2017 wurde sie von der UNESCO in die Liste des Weltdokumentenerbes aufgenommen.

Anxiety disorders are mental disorders which come with the person being fearful and anxious. A person suffering from this disease has the tendency to worry about the future events and in addition he has fear in his mind about the current events. The result of such feelings is not good as it can lead to symptoms like faster heart rate and trembling. There are several kind of anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, etc.
1. What are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress which comes with nervousness and sudden fear. It may also be beneficial in certain situations as it can alert you about the dangers and you can be prepared and focus on the problem. Anxiety disorder is totally different from normal feelings of anxiousness and includes excess of fear or anxiety. As a matter of fact more than 30% of adults are affected by anxiety disorder which makes them the most common mental disorders in the society. But the good news is that anxiety disorders can be treated and there are good numbers of effective treatments available. These treatments help the people to lead a normal and happy life.
A person suffering from anxiety is more concerned with the future and it leads to tension in the muscles accompanied by ignorant behavior. It leads to fear which eventually makes the person fight or leave. A person suffering from this disease tends to avoid situations which could affect his performance on job, school and even have a negative impact on his personal relationships.
Surprisingly the exact cause of anxiety disorder is not known. Usually it is seen that the events related to trauma are the main causes of anxiety in people.
Most of the people have anxiety due to issues related to health. In some people the signs and symptoms of anxiety act as the indicators of medical illness. If you anxiety is caused by a medical problem you may be asked to undergo certain medical tests.
Children who were abused or who had experienced trauma are at higher risk of developing anxiety disorders. This is not limited to children and even adults who had some kind of traumatic experience in life can have anxiety disorders.
If you have serious illness it can make you worry about issues related to treatment and your future.
There are certain personality types that are more prone to anxiety disorders as compared to others.
People with mental health disorders like depression often suffer from anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders can be found in families if blood relatives have this problem.
The use of drug or alcohol can worsen the condition of anxiety in people.
GAD or generalized anxiety disorder is associated with the following problems.
This situation is also known as irrational fear of social situations. However some degree of social phobia is normal which includes shyness or uneasiness while speaking in public. But if this fear disrupts your personal life it is an indication of social phobia. This situation occurs when the shyness is very deep and you hesitate from socializing with public, strangers or even with your friends. This is accompanied with fear and anxiety.
This type of anxiety disorder is different from GAD. Surprisingly panic disorders does not involve you to panic but it take place when you get severe feelings of fear which may result in the physical and mental symptoms. These symptoms can be so deep that people can be admitted in hospitals as they are worried about their health. This type of anxiety disorder involves panic disorder and fear of getting panic attacks.
Panic disorder comes with mental stress but they also certain physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, excess of sweating, numbness, trouble in breathing, Chest or stomach pain and digestive problems.
This type of anxiety disorder involves the fear of going in public. These can be open spaces of unfamiliar places. People suffering from Agoraphobia would never leave their home and would do anything to avoid travelling. These people would only travel to their home and office. Most of the people suffering from this type of anxiety disorder also complain of having panic disorder.
Agoraphobia is mostly found in adults. The common symptoms related to this anxiety disorder are severe stress, obsessive stress and feelings of stress and tension.
Phobias are actually condition of suffering from fear which may be due to objects, animals, situations etc. Phobias are accompanied with negative thinking or making you do something which will avoid phobia. Phobia can lead to constant fear, sudden feeling of terror, not able to control your fears and going out of the way to avoid situation that causes fear.
This type of anxiety disorder involves physical and emotional feelings which are due to the experience of trauma in your life. This situation occurs due to the traumatic event that has taken place in your life. The common symptoms which are found in PTSD are reliving the trauma, responding to triggers, and anxiety over recurrence and emotional trouble.
This type of anxiety disorder is considered to be very disturbing and is confusing for the patient as well as for the people around him. The main symptoms of OCD are obsessions and compulsions.
This type of anxiety disorder is the most common type of anxiety found in the society. There are several millions of people who have been affected by this disease. GAD involves as the current state of mental or physical tension along with nervousness. This could be without a special cause or you are not able to take a break from this situation of anxiety.
You can also say that if you are in a constant state of anxiety or stress and it is affecting your life then you may have generalized anxiety disorder of GAD. You should also remember the fact that some degree of anxiety in your life is normal and should not be taken seriously.
There are two main treatments for GAD or generalized anxiety disorder. These treatments are psychotherapy and medication. It is good to take both these treatments together for better results.
Psychotherapy is also known as psychological counseling or talk therapy. This treatment is used to reduce the symptoms of anxiety by working with a therapist. This treatment has proved to be very effective in GAD.
The most effective form of Psychotherapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. This treatment is short and teaches you skills to enable you to return to those activities which have been avoided by you because of anxiety.
There are many types of medications which are used in the treatment of GAD.
Antidepressants along with medications in SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) and SNRI (Serotonin–Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) are used in the treatment of GAD. Some of the popular anti depressants used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders are escitalopram, venlaxifine, duloxetin and paroxetine.
Buspirone gives better results if used on ongoing basis. This may take many weeks to show its full effect in the treatment of GAD.
Your doctor may advise you to take this sedative in selected situations. Some of these sedatives are alprazolam, diazepam, lorazepam and chlordiazepoxide. Benzodiazepines are commonly used to overcome acute anxiety for a short time. These medications are more likely to get you addicted due to which it is not a good choice especially if you had problems in the past with the consumption of alcohol or drugs.
Thus we see that anxiety disorders can be treated as there are many effective methods. The person suffering from anxiety disorders requires counseling which has been very effective. However there are certain disorders of anxiety which requires medication.

And now we've been granted access to the final waxwork/time portal. This one will take us back in time to the place where this all started. It turns out the whole 'evil brother' curse came about because a distant relative caught a witch stealing from his property and decided to teach her a lesson. I guess she didn't have any money for food, what with spending it all on crystal pendants and tarot cards. So what do we do? Do we stop her having her hand cut off? Er, no. We join in. This is how to deal with witches, Waxworks style.
.. then for good measure, stab her in the throat with Jack the Ripper's knife! And that, my friends, is how you lift a centuries old curse.
We finally materialize back in the Waxworks, to find our now non-evil brother waking up from what he believes to be a dream. So we don't get any real kudos at all - just this bell end who thinks he fell asleep. Thanks a lot. Maybe we could use one of the waxworks to throw him back into the timestream.


Here's a recipe that is a healthier alternative to the classic pasta dish. It's easy and quick to make, perfect for people on the go or in a rush. This time you won't feel guilty eating pasta.
It all starts with the ingredients. One of the easiest way to have instantly healthier pasta is to switch to pasta made of beans or vegetables instead of using the regular white flour one. Whole grain pasta is also ok if you can't easily find the ones that are plant-based. But personally, I prefer the plant-based ones because you don't feel too full after eating them and it's always a sneaky way to get your daily greens requirements in.
For the sauce, it all depends on your taste. I always prefer pesto sauce. I recently found this pesto-inspired hummus. Even though it's hummus, it has a similar texture to traditional pesto. This one is very nutritious because it contains kale, garbanzo beans, hemp seeds and many more good things. Plus it's all organic.
Of course never forget vegetables! I always mix it up but here I added a cucumber, tomatoes and an avocado.
After my pasta is cooked and drained, I first add the "pesto-sauce" and then the vegetables.
There you go, a healthy version of the traditional pasta dish.
