Il verzellino siberiano (Spinus thibetanus ()) è un uccello passeriforme della famiglia Fringillidae.

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico della specie, thibetanus, è un chiaro riferimento all'areale occupato da questi uccelli: il nome comune altro non è che la traduzione di quello scientifico.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura 10–12 cm di lunghezza, per 10-12 g di peso.

Aspetto
Si tratta di uccelli dall'aspetto robusto, muniti di becco conico corto ma appuntito, ali appuntite e coda corta e dalla punta lievemente forcuta. Nel complesso, soprattutto i maschi possono ricordare i canarini africani del genere Crithagra, rispetto ai quali presentano però testa più squadrata.

Il piumaggio presenta dimorfismo sessuale: nei maschi, infatti, faccia (tranne mustacchi e area fra i lati del becco e le orecchie), petto e fianchi sono di colore giallo, mentre vertice, nuca, dorso e codione sono tendenti al giallo-olivastro, il sottocoda è bianco così come il ventre e la punta di ali e coda è nera. Le femmine mancano dei segni facciali e di gran parte del giallo, presente sotto forma di sfumature su faccia e petto, mentre il resto della livrea è dominata dai toni del grigio-brunastro, con penne di dorso e fianchi munite di punte più scure a dare un effetto screziato.
In ambedue i sessi, il becco è nerastro superiormente (con tendenza a schiarirsi verso la base) e avorio inferiormente, mentre gli occhi sono di colore bruno scuro e le zampe sono di color carnicino.

Biologia
I verzellini tibetani sono uccelli dalle abitudini essenzialmente diurne, che vivono in coppie o in gruppetti, tenendosi per la maggior parte del tempo fra i cespugli o i rami alla ricerca di cibo e facendo ritorno sul far della sera verso posatoi elevati dove passare la notte al riparo.

Alimentazione
La dieta di questi animali è perlopiù granivora, componendosi in massima parte dei semi di betulla e ontano, ma comprendendo anche germogli, fiori, boccioli e sporadicamente anche piccoli insetti.

Riproduzione
La stagione riproduttiva sembrerebbe comprendere almeno i mesi di maggio e giugno, tuttavia mancano informazioni sulla riproduzione di questi uccelli, sebbene si supponga che essa non differisca significativamente per modalità e tempistica da quanto osservabile negli altri fringillidi.

Distribuzione e habitat
Come intuibile sia dal nome comune che dal nome scientifico, il verzellino tibetano è un abitatore dell'altopiano del Tibet, popolando il Tibet meridionale e orientale, lo Yunnan settentrionale ed il Sichuan sud-occidentale, oltre che il nord della Birmania: la specie è presente, ma verosimilmente solo per svernare, anche lungo le pendici meridionali dell'Himalaya, dal Nepal nord-occidentale all'Assam attraverso Sikkim e Bhutan.

L'habitat di questi uccelli è rappresentato dalle pinete montane e submontane a prevalenza di abete e tsuga, ma popolano anche le foreste miste.

Tassonomia
Lo status tassonomico del verzellino tibetano è sempre stato incerto e molto travagliato: ascritto dal suo scopritore Hume al genere monotipico Chrysomitris, esso è stato in seguito spostato di volta in volta in Carduelis e in Serinus, prima di venirne scorporato ed essere ascritto al restaurato Spinus, in seguito ad affinità emerse dalle analisi del DNA mitocondriale. L'affinità con Spinus non è tuttavia strettissima, e si sta facendo strada fra gli studiosi l'ipotesi (che va però supportata da ulteriori analisi) di ascrivere il verzellino tibetano a un proprio genere monotipico, Chionomitris.

Postbox blasts: Two in court
TWO men appeared in court yesterday, charged with plaguing rural communities by blowing up post boxes and setting fire to hedges.
The explosions and fires affected rural communities including Tarvin, Tarporley, Kelsall, Dunham on the Hill, Mouldsworth, Helsby, Kingsley, Manley, Alvanley, Huxley and Crowton.
Tristan Brown and Leon Terrace, both 26, were dealt with separately by Vale Royal magistrates in Northwich.
Terrace, of Sandiway Close, Sandiway, who appeared in the morning, pleaded guilty to three charges of arson and three charges of criminal damage, asking for a further 56 offences to be taken into consideration.
His case has been referred to Chester Crown Court for sentence on January 5.
Brown, of Crossfields, Tarvin, didn't indicate a plea to the same charges and his case will be committed to Crown Court when he appears before magistrates again on February 1.
Brown, a conductor for Arriva trains,is currently on bail and on curfew between 8pm and 6am.
Brown asked the court to change the curfew to 10pm in order for him to be able to see his girlfriend in Lache, Chester.
Magistrates denied the request despite Brown's solicitor, Ceri Evans, pointing out none of the incidents happened before 10.30pm. He is also forbidden to have any contact with Leon Terrace. The pair arrived at court separately.
Inspector Phil Hodgson of the Western Rural Police said: 'I'm hopeful we've seen an end to these attacks but it's important for people to know we are not complacent.'

Karan Johar, who is quite used to be being trolled on social media, had the most unexpected reaction when he was addressed as "the favorite wife" in the Netflix series Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives by a Twitter user. Karan Johar not only found the tweet funny, he also stated that it is "refreshing" to see a troll with a sense of humour. Karan Johar, who has produced the Netflix series, appears multiple times during the show. He appears during a brunch session with the ladies, at Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan's grand party and even turns up in Doha, where the show's stars Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Panday, Seema Khan and Neelam Kothari are on a vacation.
The Twitter user wrote: "I think we can all agree that the favorite wife in Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives is Karan Johar.#NetflixIndia." KJo laughed it off and replied, "Ok, this really made me laugh! Rolling on the floor laughing. A troll with a sense of humour is so refreshing! Thanks Doc."

Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives is a Netflix series based on the lives of four star-wives - Seema Khan (married to Sohail Khan), Maheep Kapoor (Sanjay Kapoor's wife), Bhavana Pandey (wife of Chunky Pandey) and Neelam Kothari (married to Samir Soni).
The show opened to mixed reviews from critics. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the series 2 stars out of 5 and he wrote: "Loosely modelled on American reality television shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives will definitely find takers. But it isn't a deep dive. The eight-episode series provides no real insights. When it wants to be flashy, it is flimsy."

The partnership itself of Maat Lander and Oresund Space Collective gives a particular colour to this split album that sets it apart from the clutter of releases of the space rock genre.
This is mighty trippy stuff. It is the music of Maat Lander, three guys hailing out of Russia and Oresund Space Collective, eight members with a more international base.
at forty-two minutes together "Spacerock at it's very finest!!! Two great bands of their genre on this marvelous new album.
bringing you back down again after!"
Highly recommended to fans of the Space Rock genre.

The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons
New Collected Poems
I Am Flying into Myself: Selected Poems, 1960–2014
by Michael Heller
reviewed by William Doreski
Over the past half century, Michael Heller has written a considerable body of poetry from which he has drawn this generous and apparently representative selection. He wields many varieties of free verse, from brief, sharply enjambed lines to long Whitmanesque lines to prose poetry. He also experiments with the open form and loose associations of Charles Olson's projective verse, William Carlos Williams's triadic moveable foot, and other familiar reiterations of modern poetics. His mid-career poems lean toward prose structures and rhythms, but like much of his work, they demonstrate an alertness toward the ways in which social and historical contexts corrode or obfuscate language:
But also now, to sense mind harrowed in defeats of language,
Bosnia, Rwanda, wherever human speech goes under a knife.
("Sag Harbor, Whitman, as if an Ode")
Heller builds upon the work of the Objectivist poets, particularly George Oppen, and their concern with language as structure rather than as the evocation of emotions. He has written extensively on the Objectivists, and while his poetics range more widely than theirs, he shares their interest in clarity and their precision in delineating subjects. A deliberative attention to language is a persistent thread in this complex body of work.
It would be inexact, however, to say Heller's subject is language in itself. "Colloquia," a relatively recent poem, notes that phenomena come into our presence because we are capable of evoking them through naming:
"World, world," you wrote,
as though martyred to the visible,
the words one chose
would have to say it.
If the famous rosy-fingered dawn
existed, it existed to be proclaimed …
Here, "word" and "world" are mutually permeable. The history of speech, prayer, naming, praising, and articulating the mind draws us toward a visionary cosmos where language expends itself in a dark and numinous expanse. This idea of language merging with what it names and then bringing us toward less and less articulable visions permeates Heller's work and becomes more explicit in his later poems.
The earliest poems in this selection, from the mid-1960s, lay the foundation for Heller's larger grasp of visionary language. They also warn of the dangers along life's linguistic journey: "And where you are going or have been, / the words erode // the continuity you call / yourself" ("One on the Muse"). But rather than eroding the self, Heller's poems, as they accumulate, construct a voice that becomes more and more expert at distinguishing self from not-self ("Radiant // As any truth / Disfiguring all one thinks one is" ["Speculum Mortis"]). This voice also learns to sift the phenomenal universe very finely, to determine what it can accomplish or embrace, and what lies—momentarily, at least—beyond its grasp: "The moon! / It appears beyond my capacity / To do more than give it name [ … ]" ("Moon Study").
The poems selected from Exigent Features (2003) become more specific about the opportunities and limitations of language. At the same time, they expand in rhetoric and diction, becoming more interrogative, longer-lined, with compound and complex sentences, such as in the opening lines of "Autobiographia":
Weren't you given a text? To honor the congregation, the organ dulcet,
the cantor's hum, hymnal of Europe's East, steps of sound made fugal
but laden with a weariness (joy for another day), history transmogrified
into plaint upon plaint, to be ushered into manhood, to be brought other's pain.
Like so many of Heller's poems, this reads like a manifesto, a statement of aesthetic purpose. The life invoked in the second person is that of someone wandering through a world of things that are always in flux and in danger of fading, translation or mistranslation. The poem embraces the Judaic sense of the power of the Word, but also the incumbent risks, the "delicate structure // of beths and vavs on parchment, the inner and outer of secrets."
As Wallace Stevens explored the shifting relationship between imagination and reality, so Heller explores the shifting and often uneasy relationship between language and that which it purports to name. Other poets frequently touch upon this problem, but over fifty years Heller has developed a body of work that moves from groping toward the ways in which language helps distinguish self from other to a more sophisticated grasp of how the world is and isn't text.
This selection is adroitly arranged to present the unfolding of Heller's project. The poems work individually with clear and sometimes vivid imagery, but also develop the larger argument step by step. Although the collection has no preface or introduction (as most NYRB/Poets editions do), it does have useful notes pointing us to sources for some of the poems, many of which are grounded in Heller's extensive reading and his interest in the visual arts.

Hello Dr. Ali! I love your book!
I'm writing you today with a question about love. I've had a male best friend for the past 4 years. We do everything together. I know he loves and adores me, but he won't be my boyfriend because I slept with one of his high school buddies a long time ago. Almost 10 years before meeting my best friend.This old high school buddy lives on the other side of the country now, and we both haven't talked to him in 3 years. My best friend still won't get over what happened. I love him so much and want to be with him. I know he loves me too and doesn't want to lose me in his life. What can I do to change his mind, forgive me of my past, and give me a chance?
But I digress. As for your boy: sounds like he's being an idiot.
However, you're also doing some strange things, too — like thinking you're somehow guilty of something: 'forgive me of my past and give me a chance', as you put it. Seriously? Umm, let's not buy into his twisted view of the world. Even if he had some weird justification for his juvenile behavior — hello, it's been 10 years. Time to grow up.
If he wants you, he should come and get you. In the meantime, you should be going out with other fabulous men — and telling him all about it. You're best friends, right? This is what best friends can talk about, right? Awesome! If he's actually into you, he won't be able to stand it, and he'd be a fool not to make a move. And if he doesn't make a move, that means he's either a fool and/or not into you. And would you want to date a fool who's not into you? Hell no. And you are free to move on.
Also, be aware that even the so-called best-case scenario — that he responds affirmatively and you two get together in front of an oceanfront vista with sweeping violin crescendos and champagne — may not turn out well. You've never been in a real relationship together, and if he's being vaguely possessive and weird now, it should be interesting to see how he behaves once he has some kind of claim on you.
I wanted to thank you for the email you sent [about short- and long-term relationships]. I enjoyed reading it and thought it was very insightful. So much so, that I forwarded it to my boyfriend. BIG mistake! We've been fighting all day because of it.
We've only been dating 6 months, but are completely head over heels for each other! We have so much fun together and the passion between us is beyond amazing. We literally can not keep our hands off each other! He is loving and supportive, BUT he has one serious flaw…he is soooo jealous! I feel like I can't even mention another man's name without getting the, "third degree" over it.
In his defense, when we started dating I admitted to talking to a few male friends. One of whom was my ex-fiancée, and shared some dating stories that I thought were pretty funny. What I have since learned is that this REALLY bothered my boyfriend. I have vowed to NEVER do this again and out of respect for my boyfriend and our relationship I agreed to stop speaking with my ex. In hindsight, I think this was probably a good idea anyway.
Although I can understand his concern related to a prior relationship. I don't understand or appreciate the constant inquiries about every man I mention, even you, Dr. Ali!
I have been told that I am, honest to a fault and one of the most trustworthy people my friends know. Maybe he just hasn't discovered this yet? Maybe he's just being protective? Or perhaps this is MY issue? I'm just not sure. What I do know is that I want my boyfriend to be my best friend, and I want to be able to tell my best friend anything. Am I wrong? Or am I being insensitive to his needs? Any help would be appreciated!
First of all, what you have described to me sounds like an acute drug addiction. Psychologists would call it limerence. Others call it infatuation or a crush.
I call it a prelude to disaster.
It lasts on average 18 months. Enjoy it while it lasts, but please do not mistake it for real love. Lasting love starts small and grows over time; infatuation starts big and diminishes over time.
Second, unless your boy decides to grow up real fast, the jealousy thing is going to be a dealbreaker. Sounds like he's got issues that he needs to handle before he can be this close to someone, and this is not your lesson to teach. If this is what he's like in the honeymoon period, can you imagine how psycho possessive he'll be once the relationship gets more serious? Unless you were planning on signing up for a lifetime of walking around eggshells, beware, Andrea dear. Possession is not the same as love. When we truly love someone, we want her to be free to flourish, even if it's not exactly to our pleasing.
Third, any time you find yourself making excuses for a guy, it's a sure sign the relationship is in trouble. Why defend him unless you know there's a justified attack coming at him? So relinquish your need to be right (i.e. saying to yourself "I'm going to make this work"), and instead look at the relationship and ask yourself: is this what fulfills me? Fulfillment is a feeling, not a person. And if someone's making you feel guilty and dishonest, you've got to ask yourself if that's how you want to feel in the long run.
I have written to you before and I know you can't answer everyone and I know that everyone feels that their relationship problems are life and death. I have read your book cover to cover many times and it certainly has improved my self esteem a hundred fold which has made me believe in abundance. Now I don't feel as desperate and men are coming out of the walls.
However there is one very special man. A GOOD man that met 6 months ago. My problem is that I didn't get your book until after I met him. Long story but I really messed up with my neediness. So despite our connection in all 3 chakras, he wound up breaking it off with me. Devastated. As I mentioned in a previous e mail that I hope you read, I wrote to him and explained that I have sought help and THANKED him for giving me the chance to grow and become a better person. Bear with me almost done. Three months ago he took his yearly vacation to Italy and took a train around Europe. I decided it was time enough to make contact. I asked if when he got back we could try to see each other again and see what happens.
Miraculously he wrote back immediately THAT Would be great !! And THANKED me! He comes home Sunday and I am shaking in my boots that I will do something wrong again and lose him forever. For instance I don't know what to do if he doesn't call me within a few days. Should I call him, and how long should I wait?
It's past Sunday, so by now you have either already screwed it up completely or you're already off to the races. Either way, I'm going to point out some things here for the next time you come across a situation like this.
Kudos to you for getting in the abundance mindset and having guys come out of the woodworks. Kudos to you also for recognizing that you may have screwed it up with this guy with your neediness.
However, now that you have that excellent diagnosis, I don't understand why you think that the same neediness will work to get him back. You're afraid that you'll do something wrong? That you'll lose him again? What to do if he doesn't call?
First of all, I'd like you to focus on what you want, not what you don't. If you drive down the highway thinking "I don't want to crash, I don't want to crash", chances are you're gonna crash. So focus on what you want: having a great time with him so you get to know him better.
Second, is he really a good guy? Do you know that for sure 100%? I can't tell you the number of times that I've hankered for a woman — "Omigod, she soooo amaaaazing" — and then, once I got more information, changed my mind rapidly and irreversibly. This is called projection: we're seeing the beloved as some idealized thing in our head, vs who he or she really is.
So what I would suggest is to go easy on this. Stop thinking that he's the greatest thing since warm banana bread pudding (oh my). Instead, focus on spending quality time with him to evaluate him and find out if he's a good fit for you. Be the buyer, always.
Third, you can't lose what you don't have. You've already lost him once! So there's only potential for upside here — you can't re-lose him. So be bold. Take risks. And quit acting like a potted plant who has to ask for permission to call a boy, because you're not one. You are woman, dammit. Let's hear you roar already.
And finally, an actual useful technique, in case you're hell-bent on getting this guy. Is there some guy amongst the many in the woodwork who's into you more than you're into him? Or some guy at any point in your life who fits that bill? Yes?
Good. Imagine how you dealt with that guy. How eager were you to return his phone calls? How badly did you want to hang out with him? How muted was your enthusiasm? Well, that's how you should treat this guy if you want him back. Be flirtatious but coy. Be enthusiastic about talking to him, but ultimately too busy to hang out with him (for now). Even better, date two other guys (remember the Three Man Plan from The Tao of Dating?). Make him work for it, dammit. There is no other way to get the result you want.
That's all for now. If you have a question and you want me to answer it, make it brief (200 words or less — no novellas, please), make sure there's a question in there, put 'QUESTION' in the subject line, and zap it to me at DrAli(at)TaoOfDating.com.
PS: I love it when you express your effusive appreciation of the book in a private note to me. I'm absolutely ecstatic when you put it up as a review on Amazon. Thanks for your support so far.

Modernisation and expansion into soft drinks of one of the largest breweries in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project aims to modernise the company, including management and product improvement measures. It also aims to expand the company's operations into carbonated soft drinks and a new range of packaging (cans and plastic bottles).
The EBRD's direct investment in a local producer will strengthen the local supply in an import-dominated consumer goods market. This will have a significant impact not only on the beverage, distribution and retail sectors but also on the country at large. In particular, the investment will act as a demonstration project for others, including foreign investors, local and foreign banks (viability of medium-term lending) and the government (incentive for speeding up privatisation).
Sarajevska Pivara d.d. is a medium-sized brewery located in Sarajevo, in the Federation part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Established in 1864, it has produced beer from its current site since 1880. Last year the company introduced a new packaging line and new products, such as canned beer and soft drinks.
The project will be co-financed with the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Both the EBRD and IFC will each provide a seven-year loan of up to DM 8 million (ECU 4.1 million) totalling around DM 16 million (ECU 8.2 million).
DM 23 million (ECU 11.7 million).
This operation has been classified as B/1, requiring an Environmental Analysis and an Environmental Audit. The completion of an Audit has led to the preparation of an Environmental Action Plan (EAP). Issues identified encompassed water supply and quality, waste-water discharge, waste management and potential soil and groundwater contamination. The company will be required to adopt and implement the EAP to the satisfaction of the Bank, and to report annually on the environment and progress on implementing the EAP.

Radical Islamism and Jihad (02 Apr 2015 NewAgeIslam.Com)
The Heinous Crimes That ISIS Is Perpetrating Totally Opposed To Islam And Those Killed Fighting For ISIS May Earn Divine Wrath Instead Of Paradise And 'Hurs' – An SOS To All Mosque Imams
By Muhammad Yunus, New Age Islam
(Co-author (Jointly with Ashfaque Ullah Syed), Essential Message of Islam, Amana Publications, USA, 2009)
In a letter dated September last to the chief of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a group of more than 120 prominent Muslim scholars from around the world who investigated his activities, charged him with a plethora of heinous crimes. These included, massacre of civilians, killing hundreds of unarmed captives, destroying churches and looting the homes and properties of the Christian and Yazidi civilians, who were living in peace with the Muslims since the early years of Islam; forcing non-Muslims to convert to Islam or face death, engaging children in war and killing, torturing and terrorizing people through beatings, murder, burying alive, decapitation with knives; mutilating corpses, sticking the decapitated heads of their victims on spikes and rods and, getting their children to kick the severed heads of their victims around like balls and broadcasting it to the world during the World Cup. Not satisfied with mere killing, they mocked those they were going to kill by telling them that they will be killed like sheep, bleating and then indeed butchering them like sheep, and then jeering at corpses. On one instance, they tied Syrian soldiers to barbed wire, cut off the heads of some of them with knives and posted a video of this barbaric act on the internet. The detailed 18-page letter can be accessed on the following link.
Full Text of Muslim Theologians' Open Letter to Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Refuting His Ideology of Jihad That Justifies Killings of Innocent Civilians, Muslims and Non-Muslims
http://www.newageislam.com/books-and-documents/muslim-scholars-from-all-over-the-world/full-text-of-muslim-theologians--open-letter-to-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi,-refuting-his-ideology-of-jihad-that-justifies-killings-of-innocent-civilians,-muslims-and-non-muslims/d/99389
The scholars issuing the letter unanimously agreed that each of the above listed crimes that ISIS committed in the name of Islam stands in stark contradiction to the Qur'anic message. It also goes without saying that no 'Alim or 'Imam in the whole world will agree with the claim of ISIS to following the dictates of the Qur'an or the example of the Prophet, whom the Qur'an describes to be a person endowed with sublime character (68:4) and unshakeable stability (17:74), faithful to his trust (al-amin, 81:21), and (a manifestation of God's) mercy to the believers (9:61), and to all humanity (21:107). As for the first community of the Muslims that ISIS claims to follow, the Qur'an describes them as the best of community ever raised for mankind (3:110) and the ISIS represents probably the worst community, at least in the history of Islam.
While ISIS does not command any sympathy among the Ulama and Imams of the world – with the exception of its own ideologues, they all share the global disgrace ISIS evokes for its claim to representing true Islam. There is also a growing misconception among the non-Muslims of the world that the Muslims' claim of Islam being a religion of peace is a mere propaganda and a bluff.
The sad reality is ISIS is continuing to attract recruits, especially from among the new converts or those having no knowledge of the message of Islam, and those opposed to Islam are producing pamphlets with false information and quotations to directly implicate the Qur'an as the ideological fount of ISIS. This renders each and every Muslim who reads the Qur'an an accomplice or ideological ally of the ISIS, which is a lie of colossal measure and overturns the notion of Islam from a religion of peace to a barbaric cult, not fit for today's civilization. Hence the ISIS must be resisted at the grass-root level of Islamic society.
It is therefore time that the Imams in each mosque all over the world – especially the West mount a concerted campaign, such as by way of Friday sermons (khutba) and social and media preaching to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam, and warn the lay Muslims that those who die when committing such acts are not likely to go down as "martyrs" and more likely to incur divine wrath for causing 'fasad' and 'baghya' that the Qur'an condemns in no uncertain terms.
The truth is, in historical perspective ISIS has far exceeded the early Kharijites in its barbarism, bestiality and killing spree, in committing atrocities against innocent civilians, Muslims and non-Muslims alike and in destroying all kinds of civil amenities. It is also committing crimes that date back to the pre-Islamic jahilliyah – notably mutilation of corpses, and meting out punishment that God threatened humanity with - burning people alive. Since Caliph Umar had outlawed the Kharijites – regarded them as terrorist-apostates who had forfeited their claim to the faith of Islam, the ISIS can be paralleled with them and no Alim or Imam should have any fear in warning the community as proposed above: dying while fighting for ISIS may earn them hell, not heaven.
The author is only discharging his trust as a defender of Islam and it is up to the fraternity of Ulama and Imams to pay heed to his call or ignore it. This call follows an earlier call to declare ISIS as the Kharijites of this era:

How do people miss the point that among the many influences acting on Al Baghdadi which made him what he has become, the most significant are his experiences as an Iraqi, whose country was ravaged by a most unjust war. The following is from an article in Newsweek:
http://www.newsweek.com/2014/12/19/who-isis-leader-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-290081.html
He (Al Baghdadi) was always known "for being so quiet you could hardly hear his voice," says a former neighbor, Tareeq Hameed. "He was peaceful. He didn't like to chat a lot." Acquaintances say he grew up studious, pious and calm. He was introverted, without many friends.
London-based Iraqi analyst Sajad Jiyad from the Iraqi Institute for Economic Reform says "I would be surprised if he was a religious person, as most of the Iraqis who became involved in jihadist groups were secular Baathists before 2003".
LinkedIn for Terrorists
The origins of al-Baghdadi's ruthlessness lie in the bloodshed unleashed after the U.S. invasion to topple Saddam.
The Sunni insurgents who stayed began their deadly attacks, initially targeting U.S.-led forces.
It is believed al-Baghdadi helped establish the terrorist group Jamaat Jaish Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaa. In either 2004 or 2005—like most things about al-Baghdadi, the dates are unclear—he was captured in Fallujah by U.S. forces, apparently part of a sweeping roundup to capture an associate of the Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al- Zarqawi.
After his arrest, al-Baghdadi was detained in Camp Bucca, a facility in southern Iraq, near Umm Qasr, where many former Abu Ghraib detainees were also held. His status was that of a "civilian internee," which meant he was linked to a terrorist group but had not been caught actively engaging in terrorist activities.
The exact amount of time al-Baghdadi spent at Camp Bucca is unclear. Some U.S. military officials who worked at the prison remember al-Baghdadi being there between 2006 and 2007; others say he was there between 2006 and 2009. Whether he spent one or two years there, it was a fruitful time for him. Camp Bucca was like a summer camp for ambitious terrorists. Under the eyes of the Americans, the inmates interacted, traded information and battle tactics and made important contacts for the future. They were inspired by the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the success of al-Zarqawi and the discontent among Sunnis. Historian Jeremi Suri calls the prison "virtual terrorist university."
"Camp Bucca was a place where a lot of jihadists got to know each other and a lot of former Baathists radicalized and linked up with Islamic groups," saysAron Lund, editor of the Syria in Crisis website. "Lots and lots of Islamic State leaders passed through here."
Jiyad says it's unlikely al-Baghdadi was an active militant prior to the U.S. invasion, and he believes Camp Bucca was a turning point for al-Baghdadi.
So it is not Islam which has made him what he has become. For those who would like to exonerate the role of the US in fomenting extremism, it is possibly a necessary fiction to blame Islam for it.

It is a useful, and possibly necessary fiction that ISIL is unIslamic. But until the decent majority of Muslims recognise that ISIL is motivated by Islamic teaching there can be no progress. Mainstream Islam must repudiate the more violent passages in the Holy Quran.

Dear Kalim,
Are we going to accommodate in Islam the most heinous crimes as verified and reported by 120 scholars from around the world as listed in the article just because of the sufferings of the Muslims at various regions in the word - brutal and enduring occupation of Israel, America's barrage of vetoes in its favour, its full fledged wars against two Muslim lands with colossal loss of life and destruction and so forth.
I am afraid you are mixing up religion with politics and not acting as a witness to the Islamic message to humanity. No amount of sufferings to the Muslim community can justify the list of crimes IN THE NAME of Islam. This is what I believe as Muslim. Here is the full list of ISIS crimes as summarized from the letter to its chief from 120 Islamic scholars from around the world tabled in my article referenced below:
Doctoring the interpretation of the verse 21:107 which reads 'We have sent you as a mercy to all the worlds. '(Al-Anbiya',22: 107), He quotes: "We have sent you (with a sword) as a mercy to all the worlds"
Killing thousands of prisoners <?xml:namespace prefix = o />
Killing 600 unarmed captives at el-Zor.
Destroying churches, and looting the homes and properties of the Christians.
Killing some Christian civilians and forcing many others to flee their homes with nothing but their lives and the clothes on their backs.
Fighting the Yazidis under the banner of jihad though they neither fought you nor Muslims.
Giving the choice to Yazidiz to either convert to Islam or be killed.
Killing hundreds of Yazidiz and burying them in mass graves.
Had it not been for American and Kurdish intervention, tens of thousands of their men, women, children and elderly would have been killed.
Coercing everyone living under their control in every matter, great or small, even in matters which are between the individual and God.
Engaging children in war and killing. Some are taking up arms and others are playing with the severed heads of their victims.
"Implementing Hudud (amputation) punishment without exercising utmost restraint and extending it to minor offences as well, which defy the spirit of the Qur'an and Sharia Law.
As per eye witnesses and their own claims) torturing and terrorizing people through beatings; murder, burying alive, decapitation with knives
Committing massacres — their fighters mock those they are about to kill by telling them that they will be killed like sheep, bleating and then indeed butchering them like sheep. Not satisfied with mere killing; they add humiliation, debasement and mockery to it.
Not only have they mutilated corpses, they have stuck the decapitated heads of their victims on spikes and rods and kicked their severed heads around like balls and broadcast it to the world during the World Cup.
Jeering at corpses and severed heads and broadcasting these gruesome acts from the military bases they overran in Syria.
· Tying Syrian soldiers of the 17th Division in North-eastern Syria to barbed wire, cut off the heads of some of them with knives and posting a video of this on the internet …'.

We are basing conclusions hearing only one sided media. I would like to hear what the other side has to say before finally damning them.While what we have been hearing is definitely not justified yet it has been a deterrent in a way and made the world sit up and ask: Why do they do it??? Otherwise all cruelties on Muslims were being brushed aside for ages by a single veto at the UN!!
By Kalim Rahman - 4/7/2015 10:12:08 AM
Only the Wahabi-Salfi imams? And does GM sb. imply that all Wahabi-Salafi imams are "jihadists"? He should read:
On Salafi Islam: What Exactly is 'Salafism'? Part-1
The article covers the people, their beliefs and the intensity of such beliefs dividing the Salafis into 7 categories and what comes through is that a very large majority are pacifists and reject the violent "Jihadis".
Stereotyping is the cause of all our problems. The "Jihadists" carry on their "Jihad" through stereotyping and so does everybody else!
By Naseer Ahmed - 4/2/2015 3:13:45 AM
This is a message that imams all over the world must convey to their flocks. It may however be necessary to re-train many of the Wahhabi-Salafi imams in order to make them truly believe in it.

Generic Tadacip offers an effective Cialis alternative that is often known as the weekend pill, offering enhanced sexual performance and stamina for men. Although carrying a relatively low dosage formula, the Generic Tadacip works much faster than Cialis and men who take it report of having much less side effects, if any, compared to the brand-name Cialis pill.
Tadacip is a generic version of Cialis that is used to treat erectile dysfunction and increase men's sexual performance. Often known as 'The weekender,' Generic Tadacip has a lower dosage formula that works faster than normal Cialis, and users of this medication experience lower side effects, if any at all. Another advantage is that the drug has an effective time of up to 36 hours.
This list may not describe all possible interactions. Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you are currently taking. Also tell your doctor if you smoke, drink alcohol or use illegal drugs.
If you miss a dose, you may take it when you remember but do not exceed one dose per day.
Keep out of the reach of children. Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius (59 and 86 degrees F). Throw away any unused medicine if the expiration date has passed.


On November 17, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida ruled in favor of Travelers Casualty and Surety in a dispute over an insurance settlement agreement. The court found the agreement unenforceable under Florida law due to fraud and collusion on the part of the policyholder, Culbreath Isles Property Owners Association.
The underlying controversy in this case involves a property management company (Culbreath) and a property owner (Kirkwood). Kirkwood lived in a planned community that was managed by Culbreath. The property management company originally sued Kirkwood for failure to adequately maintain the landscaping on her property. Soon after, she countersued Culbreath for slander. Under the Florida statutes, a successful slander claim entitles the plaintiff to reasonable attorneys' fees. Culbreath promptly notified its insurer (Travelers) about the state of the slander claim. Travelers agreed to defend the lawsuit. Culbreath lost the slander claim in court and notified Travelers of the attorneys' fees for which they were now liable under the statute. Even though they defended the lawsuit, Travelers denied any coverage for the attorneys' fees. Eventually, Culbreath and Kirkwood reached settlement on the attorneys' fees claim that included a $295,000 consent judgment against Culbreath as well as stipulation that Kirkwood would never actually seek enforcement of the judgement. Instead, Culbreath agreed to transfer any claim they had in the case against Travelers to Kirkwood. Additionally, without disclosing it to the court, Culbreath agreed to pay Kirkwood $50,000 minus whatever Kirkwood could obtain from Travelers Casualty.
The court found that the settlement agreement negotiated by the homeowner and the property management company could not be enforced under Florida law. This is because the agreement was negotiated in bad faith. Culbreath allowed Kirkwood to enter a very high attorneys' fees judgement against them ($295,000) in exchange for not executing that judgement. In essence, Culbreath was willing to accept such a high figure for attorney's fees because they knew that money would never come out of their pocket. This is supported by the fact that Culbreath made a side agreement with Kirkwood and did not disclose it to the court. The case is a reminder that bad faith insurance settlement practices can sometimes be the fault of a policyholder. It is important that all parties involved in an insurance claim follow the good faith and fair dealing requirements stipulated in the Florida Insurance Code.

Q: Sort top 10 processes by the number of threads each created in Linux I have a Linux/Debian server running: postgresql, tomcat.  Sometimes, I can't access server by ssh.
When I open ssh connection with my server, I can type in my log-in id(root) and password, but when I type in my password and press enter, there's no any response.
By 'sysinfo' function, I found that when server faces on this situation, there are about 1600 processes(this value is from sysinfo.procs), and load average is almost 300(in usual case, load average is between 0 and 1)
What I'm trying to is, listing TOP 5 process by number of thread it creates. However I cannot find easy method. There are some way I found.

*

*Log NLWP value of ps -efL, so I can know which process creates too many threads abnormally.

*When load average gets bigger and bigger, copy all of /procs/*/status file to log directory, and I can know which process have biggest value of 'Threads' later.

If there's any other suggestion, please let me know. It drives me crazy because this Linux server shouldn't fail service

A: Try this:
$ ps axo nlwp,pid,cmd | sort -rn | head -10

ps ax  - see every process
    o  - format

Authorities are investigating after a driver was wounded in a road rage shooting on the Florida's Turnpike in Broward County Thursday.
The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the Turnpike near Griffin Road, Florida Highway Patrol officials said.
The 26-year-old victim was driving a white Nissan Altima when another driver shot him in the back through the passenger side, FHP officials said.
The wounded driver kept going and exited the Turnpike and eventually came to a stop in the area of Pines Boulevard and Southwest 63rd Terrace.

It's only that I think it is too confusing to have two funds and besides this, also the aim of the fund has changed.
I decided to keep the same name for the fund, which is 'Little Belle's Magic Fund' . The obvious reason is that Belle her magic will continue, now in the most beautiful way to help her family.
Although the 'old' Magic Fund is closed, it will remain visible. This way, all donors can still find their donations, read their and others' comments and I also love to read them once in a while. So many heartwarming words to our little angel.
The enormous amount raised there is something I sometimes still can't believe. I knew that people offered to help Belle with her food, but when we started it I could never ever imagine that it would grow this big. Your support helped us more than you will ever know. The costs of Belle her food and medical costs were very high and because of you, it was also possible to get her special food all the way from to U.S.A. to us in the Netherlands.
Little Belle and I thanked you many times, but still, it doesn't always feel as enough. I hope you feel our warm smiling hearts when we say to you… A very big thank you to all donors for your beautiful donations!
And, we're also very happy and grateful for the new donations to the Magic Fund for our Sanctuary. Last 2 months, with the emergency surgery of Lulu and with Kintana her operations and treatments, the medical costs ran up to nearly 3000 dollars… So, thank you so much, your love and support for also Little Belle her family is truly amazing.
This all in honor and memory of Little Belle, her magic will never end <3 .
Beautiful words Irene. I Think the whole world helped precious Little Belle and now will continue to do so for her family and her new amazing "Little Belle's Magical Sanctuary". She will always be remembered and so close, so very close to our hearts. Little Belle will never die, she will be with you and us always and forever and ever. She didn't go, she's still here.

Kassandra Montag's "After the Flood"
Kassandra Montag is a poet and novelist. Her work has appeared in Mystery Weekly Magazine, Midwestern Gothic, and Prairie Schooner, among other literary journals. She has won the Plainsongs Award, New Year's Poet Award, and 1877 Award.
Here Montag dreamcasts an adaptation of her debut novel, After the Flood:
I wasn't thinking about a film or TV adaptation when I wrote After the Flood, so I didn't have any actors or actresses in mind. But after it was optioned for a television series (with Chernin Entertainment, partnering with LuckyChap Entertainment, Margot Robbie's production company), it's been interesting to consider what actors/actresses could fit with different roles.
I've thought about directors and overall aesthetic more than acting. I love the work of Guillermo del Toro and I think he'd do an incredible job with the unique visual landscape of After the Flood.
After the Flood is set in a post-apocalyptic 2130. The Earth has flooded, leaving an archipelago of mountaintops surrounded by water. Myra and her young daughter join a large ship searching for safe haven. Her oldest daughter, Row, was kidnapped during the flood. When Myra convinces the crew to head north in an effort to rescue Row, the decision changes everyone's fate.
Myra – Margot Robbie
Daniel—Richard Madden
Jacob— Domhnall Gleeson
Abran— Oscar Issac
Pearl – non-actor, regular kid
Row – McKenna Grace

We've been busy planning our garden and started a few seeds indoors this week. We hope once we finally get everything in the garden that the pests stay away. Last year we did have a few bunnies in our yard but they didn't get to our garden. Instead a nasty hailstorm shredded most of our plants. The kids received the book The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter for Easter and it is one of their favorites. I'm not going to summarize it since I'm sure everyone already knows the basic plot of this classic and popular story.
Right around Easter we discovered an amazing Peter Rabbit website. Kids can read all about Beatrix Potter, see her sketches, and learn the inspiration behind the story of Peter Rabbit. There's even online games and several printable coloring sheets.
The Peter Rabbit Puppet Show is a place my kids like to visit online and we are sharing this online activity as our stART project this week. Kids star in a personalized adventure with Peter Rabbit by downloading a picture and answering a few questions. Both my kids enjoyed seeing their picture alongside Peter and listening to the accompanying adventure story. Such fun! I highly recommend this engaging website.
Our seeds have started to sprout! Exciting! If you want to see our art crafts this week, be sure to check out yesterday's Flowers Anyone? Wordless Wednesday post.
Thanks for the website recommendations. I could use a break from PBSkids.org!
That looks like a neat website! We haven't read any of the Beatrix Potter tales in quite a while--we need to revisit them.
The website looks awesome. I will have to check it out.
Wonderful website - I'll be sharing it with the little ones soon! And, what a terrific picture of your sprouts - excellent photography!
Oh no, don't lead me into more temptation! I barely have time for my existing online activities, but it looks like your kids had a lot of fun on their virtual visit to Peter Rabbit.
I can't wait to check this website out and share it with Emily.
Wow, what a great site and of course a reminder of a timeless book.
Love the blog. I'm a new follower. I found you on kidlit bloggers.

When you're spreading LUV, you should also spread technology, no?
Screenshot by ZDNet
I hope you haven't been on a plane during the last few weeks.
more Technically Incorrect
It's not that I want to stop you from having a good time, visiting family, or seeing your abysmal NFL team squander its chances and stomp on your hopes. It's that many airlines have managed their businesses about as well as I manage to play the ukulele.
Thousands of flights have been canceled. Hundreds of excuses have been given.
Alright, I exaggerated that last number. But if it isn't the weather, it's Covid. And if it isn't Covid, it's a plane out of place. And if it isn't a plane out of place, it's a passenger throwing a tantrum.
"What could technology have done about all this?" I hear you mumble.
Well, please let me refer you to Robert Jordan, the new CEO of Southwest Airlines.
Stability. Modernity. Technology.
Southwest has been at the forefront of the airline backward-step movement. A couple of weeks ago, it canceled 1,200 flights in just two days.
But Jordan, speaking to the Associated Press this week, sounded oddly contrite — for an airline CEO, you understand.
"The company is not broken," he offered. I fear some might equate that to a pilot in a plane with no engine announcing: "The joystick is not broken."
Jordan tried to step carefully. He confessed the need to "modernize."
No, he didn't confess that Southwest is technologically behind its competitors. Instead, Jordan said, "I do think we need to work on, for example, our operational tools. I don't know that (employees) have all the tools to manage the complex company that we are."
Tools aren't human. At least, not yet. So he really is talking about more advanced technology that can monitor the operation second-by-second, anticipating problems.
Jordan went further: "When you're in irregular operations (such as cancelations and delays caused by weather or other factors), I've got aircraft out of place and customers out of place, and this aircraft needs to end up in that maintenance base. There are probably tools that we can use to more quickly notice problems and provide solutions."
For all the love — I'm so sorry, with Southwest it's "LUV" — that the airline peddles and generates, you might think it would have invested in technological underpinnings to make LUV truly work out.
After all, most of us find love via technology these days.
One gets the feeling, though, that Jordan believes the airline has neglected its technological parameters. Take the onboard Wi-Fi, for example.
"Is our Wi-Fi as reliable as it needs to be? I'm not sure that it is," he admitted.
You don't have the power. Maybe you should.
There may be even greater technological life-basics that have been neglected.
"Do we need to think about things like whether power (outlets for passengers) on the aircraft are important?" he said. "Can you do everything that you need to do as a customer to self-serve for yourself on your phone?"
Ah. Oh.
You mean run down my battery so that you don't have to provide an outlet?
If you've ever flown Southwest, you know the airline doesn't provide any power outlets at all on its Boeing 737s. Which is odd for an airline that now flies as far as Hawaii.
Could it be that Southwest wants everyone to self-serve for themselves, so that the airline doesn't need to provide, well, service? I'm not sure that today's gimme-gimme-gimme-now customer will take entirely kindly to that.
Some airlines have gone to other extremes when it comes to technology. American Airlines, for example, believes that it doesn't need to provide seatback screens, instead relying on passengers to have their own devices on which they can entertain themselves.
Which is perfect for a family of six, naturally.
As business travel slowly returns — it might, you know, someday — technology may become one of the prime differentiators in a sphere that has precious few.
Once upon a time, Southwest was known specifically for its low fares and its relaxed, somewhat caring attitude. Now, it's no longer universally the cheapest, and love can only take you so far.
We're living in an always-on world. Airlines must provide for that.
In so many ways, Southwest remains an excellent airline. It's built a brand for which customers have enormous affection. It's made many decisions that are immensely customer-friendly — no baggage fees, for example.
I fear those of dry humor will observe, however, that it must be hard to make big investments in tech when you always know there'll be public money to bail you out, any time you hit turbulence.

Mémoires de Messire Jean de Plantavit de La Pause, Livre second (1681-1695)
Publication resulting from the research programme "The court of Versailles in Southern France (1682-1789)" led by the Research Centre.
Mémoires de Messire Jean de Plantavit de La Pause, seigneur de Margon, chevalier de l'ordre de Saint-Louis, lieutenant de roy de la province de Languedoc, colonel d'un régiment de dragons et brigadier des armées de Sa Majesté, Volume 2, from 1681 to 1695, edited and introduced by Hubert de Vergnette de Lamotte, joint publication Centre de recherche du château de Versailles / Éditions du Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques ("Documents inédits sur l'histoire de France" Collection), October 2012, 389 p., 15 x 23 cm, 8 black & white illustrations, €50,70 (ISBN: 978-2-7355-0775-7).
This publication is the second of a series of four volumes.
Les mémoires de Jean de Plantavit de la Pause, seigneur de Margon, published here for the first time, consist of four volumes, totalling 2,075 pages and covering a period of eighty years, from the birth of the author in 1646 to his death in 1726. Carefully conserved since then by Plantavit's descendants, today the manuscript is in the Château de Verlhaguet, near Montauban. It has been the subject of study in a programme on the presence of people from the south of France at the court of Versailles in the 17th and 18th centuries, organised by the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.
These Mémoires offer an astonishingly rich chronicle of the life of the nobility in the Languedoc, describing not only marriage alliances and family feuds but the spiritual, cultural and artistic life of the region too. Moreover, as the Seigneur de Margon took part in many military campaigns under the banner of Louis XIV, there are some wonderful passages on the daily lives of those who went to war.
It is therefore a very important source and a previously unpublished account of daily life under Louis XlV.

Outpatient Total Hip Replacement Puts Golfer Back in Game
New anterior surgical method cuts costs and recovery time in half
James Murchison had always been an avid athlete. Whether skiing down a mountain or perfecting his golf game, the former baseball and soccer college athlete made it a point to stay active and in shape.
But after a ski injury five years ago, he felt pain in his groin. He assumed he had pulled a muscle. But after visiting an orthopedic physician, the x-rays told a different story.
The angle of the femur, the large bone in the upper part of the leg, placed a lot of stress on his hip. The hip showed significant erosion and wear. Furthermore, the head of his femur had a divot from a lifetime of friction.
A total hip replacement would be necessary.
"I was shocked that I needed a hip replacement. Being so active my entire life, I assumed I would just need time to heal. I never imagined needing a hip replacement," he explains.
Not ready for surgery, James delayed treatment. His pain grew slowly for nearly five years, starting in his groin, traveling to his knee and extending outside of his shin.
By age 63, he wasn't able to run and opted for long walks on flat pavement instead. He had stopped skiing because his body couldn't sustain the jarring impact. His favorite pastime, golf, had weakened from a five handicap to a ten handicap. His hips wouldn't allow him to kneel down or angle his body in order to hit the ball accurately.
Then he learned that his golf hero, Tom Watson, had done an anterior hip replacement and experienced little downtime and had a smooth recovery. Curious, James began doing research.
The anterior surgical procedure involves replacing the hip through the front side of the body without cutting any muscle. Anterior methods require 23 hours at a surgery center, and patients are fully functioning within as little as two weeks.
Traditional methods approach the hip from the posterior, or backside, cutting through extensive muscle. Traditional total hip replacement involves three to four nights in the hospital and six months for total rehabilitation.
James had friends who had done posterior total hip replacements in the hospital. They were in the hospital for six days, prone to infection, and took weeks to function normally.
James determined that an anterior hip replacement was the only option he would consider.
Pain, pain go away
"After seeing friends miserable, in pain, and forced to stay home for long periods of time, I decided I didn't want to put myself and my family through that."
He began to search for a physician who was experienced in the anterior hip replacement method. After following several leads, he realized his search was going to be much more difficult than he originally thought.
Most of the doctors James found had heard of the procedure but had not done it yet. Others focused primarily on total knee replacement.
Finally, a friend recommended Dr. Louay Toma of Golden State Orthopedics & Spine.
James called immediately and made an appointment.
Dr. Toma is one of a handful of surgeons performing this procedure in Northern California.
After meeting Dr. Toma, James felt comfortable with his approach and experience. He also found out that his injury was much more severe than originally believed.
"James, you have one of the worst hips I have ever seen," Dr. Toma explained. "You're in a lot of pain."
Knowing James wouldn't answer truthfully, Dr. Toma asked his wife how much pain James was truly in. She answered back without pause.
That day, James made an appointment for his surgery. Wanting to decrease the possibility of an infection, he chose to go to a surgery center rather than a hospital for the procedure. Three weeks later, he underwent outpatient total hip replacement.
After the surgery, James had an astonishing recovery. He was walking with no pain within four hours of the procedure. Dr. Toma visited several times throughout the day, and James received attentive care from a nurse assigned only to him.
After an overnight stay, James went home to recover. He was back to work on Monday. Within two weeks he was doing everything he would normally do in day-to-day life, without any pain.
Seeing the x-rays of his new hip, James was shocked at how perfect his hip looked. He consulted a radiologist friend to review his x-rays. His friend agreed, the hip replacement was perfect. Curious, he asked Dr. Toma how this was possible.
"I don't stop until it is perfect," Dr. Toma explained.
Dr. Toma also makes the first and last cut during surgery. Rather than assigning a portion of surgical duties to another doctor and being present only to replace the hip, Dr. Toma makes it a point to complete the entire surgery personally. While the replacement alone can take as little as 20 minutes, the entire surgery can take as much as two hours.
Now James has a new lease on life.
He enjoys walks on the beach with his wife, a simple pleasure he was unable to do before his surgery. His golf game is quickly improving, and he can kneel in any bunker in his path. His rowing machine is no longer collecting dust, and he is enjoying putting it to good use. For the first time in years, James is eager for the ski season to begin.
James has also encountered an unexpected problem.
Over the years his gait adopted a limp to lessen pain. Even though he no longer has pain, he has to actively concentrate to stop himself from limping.
It's a problem he says he is okay with.

In December 2018, two Republican Arizona state lawmakers introduced separate bills that would bar teachers from engaging in political or ideological discussions with their students. Doing so, in defiance of the proposed rules, would result in penalties for teachers, including possible termination.
Mark Finchem is a member of the Arizona House of Representatives from Oro Valley, just north of Tucson. He was first elected in 2014, and most recently won reelection in November 2018.
Kelly Townsend is a member of the Arizona House of Representatives from Mesa. She was elected in 2012, re-elected most recently in November 2018, and previously served as majority whip.
If the bill passes, teachers who violate the restrictions could risk losing their jobs, according to The Hill. Only certified instructors would be affected by the new guidelines, according to The Arizona Republic.
A week later, Townsend introduced HB 2015, a similar bill intended to prevent teachers from voicing political and religious beliefs in the classroom. While Townsend's bill is less specific than Finchem's, it prohibits teachers from using school time and resources to discuss political and religious ideas unrelated to the curriculum. Teachers who violate this guideline could face fines up to $5,000.
But, as New York's Sarah Jones pointed out in an article, religious advocacy in public classrooms is already unconstitutional, and Arizona law largely prohibits political advocacy in public schools.
"Finchem and Townsend's bills are unnecessary and they're written so sweepingly that they may actually violate the First Amendment," Jones wrote.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona argues that the bills could have chilling effects on Free Speech and could stifle Socratic teaching methods, according to New York. The bill could also harm teacher unions by making walkouts and other demonstrations more difficult, the magazine reported.
Finchem's and Townsend's bills await further action in the Arizona House of Representatives.

Opinion: Could investigations of Trump administration be roiling investors?
How would U.S. stocks weather a Watergate-style scandal?
Could the U.S. stock market's tumble earlier this week — its first 1% or greater drop since last October — reflect investors' collective reaction to the possibility of a Watergate-like political scandal unfolding in Washington?
After initially wondering if it might, I started doubting myself upon realizing that it's been more than 40 years since Watergate gripped our nation and led to then-President Richard Nixon's resignation. Those doubts became stronger given the almost certain wrath that I would incur from President Donald Trump's supporters for even raising the question.
But then I read the latest communication to global money managers from Dennis Gartman, the financial adviser and publisher of the Gartman Letter.
I should stress right off the bat that Gartman says he voted for Trump, so he can't be criticized for political motivation in detecting the shadows of Watergate. Furthermore, as the publisher of his own newsletter, he can hardly be accused of being a member of the "lamestream" media.
Read more: FBI focusing on possible collusion between Trump team, Russians: report
Also read: Dennis Gartman sees at least a 5% drop for stocks — and shades of Watergate
Here is how Gartman sees Trump's political difficulties impacting the stock market:
"We remember that Watergate began with the mere break-in of the offices at the Watergate Hotel back in the early 70's and escalated into the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. As this political morass unwound, stocks came under relentless, material pressure… We do not want history to repeat itself. We hope… we sincerely and truly hope… that we need not remember the lessons of Watergate. We truly hope that the FBI's investigation into the Trump Administration blows over quickly and proves to be a chimera… a nothing… a forgotten footnote in history; but again we fear otherwise and as always, those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them."
The chart above details the slow but inexorable pressure to which Gartman refers. Notice that the stock market in 1972 rose smartly in the months following the Watergate Hotel break-in itself and the indictment of the Watergate burglars. It was only after the investigations began into possible White House involvement in that break-in that the stock market started a two-year slide.
To be sure, drawing analogies is a speculative enterprise at best. But few would disagree that the stock market will suffer if the U.S. were to undergo anything remotely analogous to Watergate.
Trump wiretapping investigation gets complicated
Yet in the wake of FBI Director James Comey's testimony earlier this week to Congress, it would appear that the U.S. seems closer to a major political scandal out of Washington than Americans would have thought as recently as a week ago.
No wonder the stock market has been having a hard week.

Solar powered libraries cutting Bristol's carbon emissions
Bristol City Council continues efforts to reduce carbon emissions with the completion of solar and battery storage projects across four new sites.
Solar panels and batteries have been fitted to four libraries across the city improving the energy efficiency of the buildings, reducing their running costs, and significantly reducing the carbon emissions from library operations.
The energy generated by the equipment installed at Marksbury Road, Wick Road, Horfield and Westbury libraries will meet around 40 per cent of the on-site electricity usage, and the estimated combined generation of 13,228 kWh could save a total of 3,060kg of carbon annually.
The battery storage enables the solar panels to contribute to power needs overnight such as out of hours operations, security lighting and IT Servers.
Councillor Nicola Beech, Cabinet Member of Climate, Environment, Energy and Waste said: "Bristol's libraries are at the heart of our communities and it's brilliant to be able to ensure that these vital buildings are fit for the future and supporting our aims of reducing carbon, whilst also making sure that their running costs are reduced.
"These are exciting projects that will use new technology to significantly cut emissions from our corporate estate and ensure that the council remains on track to be a carbon neutral organisation by 2025."
The equipment installed on the four library roofs, and also on a newly refurbished children's home in Whitchurch, was carried over from previous projects.
This solar scheme for libraries follows the success of the solar installation at Bristol's Central Library in recent years – around 4kW of solar power reduces the building's emissions by around 3,350kg of carbon each year.

Israel recalls Morocco envoy amid probe into misconduct at mission
in World News, Europe
Ministry officials describe chaos at the newly opened offices in Rabat, as an initial investigation suggests sexual and financial improprieties
The Foreign Ministry has recalled the country's top representative in Morocco pending an investigation into allegations of a slew of sexual and financial improprieties at the newly opened Israeli mission in Rabat, including charges that a senior official sexually exploited several local women.
The decision to recall chargé d'affaires David Govrin, who had only returned to Morocco on Monday, was made by Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz following an initial investigation carried out by a senior Israeli delegation that arrived in Morocco Monday to collect statements from ministry staff.
According to a report by the Ynet news site, there was a general sense of chaos at the ministry Tuesday, with the outlet quoting ministry officials as saying "everyone is at each other's throats."
The report did not provide details of the investigation but said that a few of the complaints were made by former employees of the Israeli mission in Rabat whom Govrin had fired on different occasions.
Details of the investigation, first reported Monday by the Kan public broadcaster, were confirmed to Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel's Hebrew-language sister site, by the ministry.
Ministry Inspector General Hagay Behar was rushed to Morocco last week after allegations were leveled at the head of the mission, Govrin, regarding serious complaints about the functioning of the mission, which opened last year.
The most serious complaint was that "a senior Israeli official" at the mission had sexually exploited several local women, something that could lead to a serious diplomatic incident with Morocco. There were also complaints of sexual harassment within the mission.
The ministry is also investigating a range of financial and administrative problems, including the disappearance of a very valuable gift sent by the king of Morocco on the occasion of Israel's Independence Day. Such gifts have to be registered and turned over to the government, but the item appears to have disappeared with no record.
It was also investigating reports that a local businessman and Jewish community leader, identified as Samy Cohen, a friend of Govrin, was involved in hosting several Israeli ministers, including Yair Lapid, Ayelet Shaked and Gideon Sa'ar, and initiating meetings between them and local officials, even though he was not in any way officially affiliated with the mission.
The team was also investigating a reported feud between Govrin and the mission's security officer.
Morocco became the third Arab state to normalize ties with Israel under US-brokered deals in 2020, joining the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Israel's liaison office in Rabat had been closed in late 2000, when Morocco decided to call off the existing low-level ties between the two countries with the outbreak of the Second Intifada. Though the countries' liaison offices were closed some 20 years ago, the properties remained in their respective possessions, allowing Jerusalem and Rabat to rapidly reopen them.
Initially, Morocco and Israel were maintaining liaison offices in one another's countries but they plan to establish full embassies in the future.
Recent months have seen a series of top-level visits by Israeli officials to Morocco and the two countries have signed a host of economic, cultural and defense cooperation agreements.
Govrin, 58, is considered a senior and experienced diplomat and has served at the ministry since 1989. He speaks fluent Arabic, and served as the ambassador to Egypt from 2016 to August 2020.
