Maple Leafs Who Are Battling for Roster Spots
October 30th, 2020 There's no doubt that this was going to be an offseason devoted to increasing the Toronto Maple Leafs' depth upfront and on the back-end. With the transactions made by general manager Kyle Dubas, it's safe to say that he did just that. With the number of players he added to the team, there are limited roster spots. The Maple...
Maple Leafs Become Chapter in Vesey's Puzzling Career
October 12th, 2020 When the great British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the intentions of Russia in 1939 as World War II was beginning in Europe, he admitted he couldn't describe them. They were, as he suggested, "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." Jimmy Vesey's Hockey Career: A Riddle, Wrapped in a Mystery, Inside...

Now, the Sharks need to replace the effective penalty-killing...
Kings Need to Target Offense in Free Agency
August 19th, 2020 As a team slowly coming out of their rebuild, this offseason for the Los Angeles Kings will be a crucial one. It can either fast track their rebuild, or, if management is unassertive, the time it will take to get back to the playoffs can be extended. A big part of having a good offseason is free agency, and the Kings have some areas...

Sabres' Trade Deadline Sales Pitches
February 6th, 2020 The Buffalo Sabres' annual trade deadline blowout bonanza is upon us.

Rangers' Fox Living up to Hype
January 6th, 2020 When the New York Rangers traded a second-round pick in 2019, as well as a conditional pick, which has now become a second-round pick in 2020, to the Carolina Hurricanes for Adam Fox, he was expected to have success in the NHL. That's because he was coming off a dominant year at Harvard. Jimmy Vesey and Matt Gilroy Just three...

September 30th, 2018 With cautious optimism for the future and tempered excitement over a now-finalized New York Rangers roster that will show the first signs of the front office's youth movement, Jimmy Vesey has largely been forgotten during the preseason.

Let's Watch How the MSM Spins This
Filed In: Media, Politics, Whatever
There ain't no getting around the latest blast of Unfiltered Barack. Forget all the spinning after The One, responding to Joe the Plumber, slipped his script and said that bit about "spreading the wealth."
Drudge is blaring it; Memeorandum is fanning the flames. If there is any reporter or TV producer with a remaining shred of ethics left in any of the MSM outlets, there is no way they can try ignoring this…. This kind of thing is not going to go away. This kinda thing spawns a weeks worth of adverts heading down the homestretch. This kinda thing NOT being made public until now puts paid the claim that the media were totally in the Messiah's tank.
The latest releases have it all: wealth redistribution; political and economic "justice," and the notion that the Earl Warren Supreme Court, widely considered one of the most activist panels, wasn't radical enough in "breaking free from essentials constraints that were placed by the Founding fathers in the Constitution…."
Shame, Cubed by Bill Whittle
That a man so clear in his understanding of the Constitution, and so opposed to the basic tenets it provides against tyranny and the abuse of power, can run for president of the United States is shameful enough.
We're just getting started.

When I was 25, I went to NOLA for a weekend to party with a bunch of people who'd all done disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina. Some of them loved it so much—even flooded to the waist—that they'd moved there. It's just that kind of a place. Hell, I almost moved there after that weekend.
One night we went out to a crawfish boil at a dive bar and they got these huge bins of crawfish and dumped 'em out on a long line of plastic tables with loads of corn and a whole pig's head. Everyone in the bar stood round the tables and ate, littering the concrete floor with crawfish shells. One of the messiest, most memorable meals of my life.
Plaquemine Lock is a beautiful ode to New Orleans Creole and Cajun cooking, without needing to hose their floors down after a meal. It's taken residency in an old boozer on the Regents Canal and because it's off the beaten track, it's quiet. The food here is authentic, unlike say, The Big Easy, which is sort of Louisiana done by Disney. The portions here are decent and the whole place just has a really good vibe.
What's good? 1. The beignets. I've done a bit of googling and I can't find anywhere else in London that does beignets right now. 2. All the crawfish and the collard greens. 3. The strawberry cream pie. 4. Did I already mention the beignets?
Kid friendly? Yeah man. They were more than happy to have us with our buggy, and my kid was mesmerised by the decor and soothed by the jazz playing. They've got baby-change facilities too. Max and I both dug it here a lot.

FLO® EV Chargers installed by Hingham Municipal Lighting
Hingham Makes Valuable Investment in Charging Infrastructure Amidst EV Revolution
HINGHAM, Mass. – Hingham Municipal Lighting Plant (HMLP) announced it has installed EV charging stations from FLO, a leading North American EV charging network operator and smart charging solutions provider. The collaboration will bring charging solutions to the historic town of nearly 25,000, thanks to a state grant.
"This was an opportunity to offer the Hingham community an option for public charging without a large investment of ratepayer dollars," said Thomas Morahan, General Manager at HMLP. "We hope the new charging stations will attract EV drivers to Hingham businesses and make electrification more accessible to customers that cannot install their own charging station at home."
The four FLO CoRe+™ dual port level-2 EV charging stations, located at 62 Water St., 274 South St., and 28 Bare Cove Park Drive were funded by a MassEVIP grant from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER). The charging stations are currently up and running and will service EV drivers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It currently costs $0.22 per kWh to charge at any of the stations, and residents can download the FLO app to see each station's live status.
"As drivers across the country choose to go electric, making smart investments in local charging infrastructure has become even more important," said Rose Lenoff, Business Development Manager, Smart Cities and Government of FLO. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to help the residents of Hingham recharge their EVs with ease and confidence. We look forward to growing this partnership in the years to come as Hingham's residents continue to embrace the electric transition and reap the benefits of a publicly accessible EV charging network."
For HMLP, the charging stations play a large role in the electric transition and build off of their existing programs. HMLP recently launched its Electrify Hingham program to connect customers with electrification resources like rebates, bill credits, and EV expertise from Hingham Drives Electric, an HMLP outreach program. A customer can estimate their EV costs and savings online for free and then receive additional incentives if they choose to buy electric. Interested parties should contact ev@ene.org to get connected.
"These initiatives, like Electrify Hingham and the installation of our new charging stations, are intended to make electrification easier for all customers," said Brianna Bennett, Sustainability Coordinator at HMLP. "The EV revolution is here now, and we are excited to partner with FLO in bringing reliable charging solutions to local drivers and visitors of our seaside community as they make the electric transition."
In addition to being reliable, affordable, and compatible with other popular charging networks, HMLP was impressed with the durability of FLO chargers in cold weather conditions.
"With winter weather just around the corner, it was essential for us to choose EV chargers that could withstand the cold New England climate," added Bennett. "Not only is FLO the largest EV charging provider in Canada, but their chargers are also reliable in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit, we knew these chargers were up to the task."
FLO is a leading North American electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator and a smart charging solutions provider. We fight climate change by accelerating EV adoption through a vertically integrated business model and by delivering EV drivers the most dependable charging experience from curbside to countryside. Every month, we enable more than 1 million charging events thanks to over 75,000 fast and level 2 EV charging stations deployed at public, private and residential locations. FLO operates its network across North America and our high-quality charging stations are assembled with care in Michigan and Quebec.

South Korean WWII sex slave to appeal ruling dismissing her lawsuit
Online News EditorMay 5, 2021
Seoul, May 5 (EFE).- A South Korean woman used as a sex slave by the Japanese army during World War II will appeal a recent court decision that dismissed a lawsuit against the Japanese government, a group of activists said Wednesday.
Lee Yong-soo, 92, one of the 14 South Koreans registered by the government as victims of the Japanese Imperial Army who still survive, had strongly opposed the Apr. 21 ruling issued by a Seoul Central District.
The court dismissed the lawsuit filed by a dozen sex slaves demanding financial compensation, citing the principle of "sovereign immunity," a doctrine of international law that states that a country is immune from the judicial decisions of another country.
A group that supports Lee said Wednesday in a statement citing the Yonhap agency that the victim will file an appeal "with the expectation that justice and human rights prevail."
The April ruling contradicts another made in January by the same court – albeit by a different panel of judges – which ordered Japan to compensate the plaintiffs with 100 million won (about $ 88,750), and which was the first sentence of this type in the dispute between the countries.
On the other hand, Lee Yong-soo also asked in February to refer the abuses Japan committed during the period in which it colonized the Korean peninsula (1910-1935) to the International Court of Justice.
It is estimated that some 200,000 girls and adolescents in Asia, most of them Korean, were victims of sexual abuse by Japanese imperial troops from the 1930s until the end of World War II, in 1945.
The issue of sex slaves, whom Tokyo euphemistically calls "comfort women," is one of the main issues that undermine the diplomatic relationship between the two neighbors linked to the period of Japanese colonization. EFE

We investigated the distributional patterns of shallow-water fish and their environmental correlates along a broad spatial scale encompassing estuarine and freshwater ecosystems. Marine-vagrant species were restricted to the sites under the influence of salinity intrusion, whereas estuarine-related and freshwater guilds were found along the entire estuarine–freshwater gradient. Primary- and secondary-freshwater fish guilds had the most widespread spatial distribution and comprised a major fraction of the total abundance and species richness. Abiotic factors correlated with fish abundance and composition along two main environmental axes, one related with variation in salinity, water transparency, and sediment granulometry and the other with the slope gradient. Species richness was significantly higher at the natural channel linking the estuarine- and freshwater-ecosystem, which probably was due to: (a) a steeper slope that favored the confluence of fish from the littoral (<2 m) and limnetic (>2 m) zones and (b) the sporadic inflow of saltwater that carried into this region several marine-related species. Although estuarine–freshwater ecotones are known to support few species, mainly salinity tolerant, our results suggest that habitat features and seasonal fish movement associated with salinity intrusion could lead to more diverse fish assemblages in this transitional zone.

Back during the days of the Apple IIe, Sierra software published an adventure game called King's Quest. Those were the days of pixilated graphics and 8-bit sound. The game was a top-seller and I remember playing it.
Sierra has given developers The Odd Gentlemen the joyful task of adding to the King's Quest story. The Odd Gentlemen have just released the first of five new episodes in the story. All five episodes are narrated by Graham, the aging King of Daventry, as he relives his adventures by telling them to his granddaughter Gwendolyn.
In Episode 1, the King tells how he began his quest as a good-hearted but bumbling young man determined to become a Knight. He leaves home to go to the court at Daventry to compete with four other knights for a position at the King's court.
His adventures in besting the other four contestants (they are already knights) is the theme of Episode 1. The knights compete in events that test strength, wit, and speed.
It's a fun story told with wit, and filled with lots of interesting characters, each with a humorous idiosyncrasy. For example, there are three bridge trolls that each carry a bridge on their back. They respond to blasts on a horn and move to place their bridge across a gap so that Graham can move from one locale to another.
The graphics are gorgeous and draw you into the story and the animation of Graham is fluid and helps develop his character. I was especially fond of watching Graham try to catch a frog as the animation wonderfully captured the movement of a klutz.
It's an adventure game so the player uses the WASD keys to move Graham around and the space bar to pick up objects. Graham carries objects in a specially designed cape sewn for him by his mother. It will hold objects as big as a giant pumpkin he will need to traverse dark places.
As is true in any adventure game, Graham, has to find specific objects to achieve specific results. There is no real violence in the game as the characters interact through slapstick animations that draw laughs.
The puzzles are not too difficult and fun to solve as when a bridge troll asks for something big and sweet to eat, you might want to visit the Bakery.
There are a few quick-time events where you have to press the W, A, S, or D keys to guide Graham as he careens down a river on a raft to escape a dragon, step across stones, climb walls, and to navigate through other perils.
King's Quest is game that will entertain adults as well as youngster. I think the game works best if the kids play with mom, dad, or a grand parent. The older one can watch the kids navigate around Daventry and be there to help solve a puzzle like getting the Magic Mirror from under a dragon. The game is much like many of the movies made for kids in that there is something in the telling of the story for adults to enjoy too.
I purchased the game on Steam for the grand kids Asher, Kate, Emma, John, and Andrew knowing they will find the story exciting, the graphics beautifully drawn, the music excellent, and the problems engaging and relatively easy to solve by simply being persistent.
Of all the computer games I've played with the grand kids, Machinarium is my favorite. I reviewed and recommended this game in 2009. Here's the link to the post.
King's Quest Episode 1 has now knocked Machinarium out of first place. I look forward to the release of Episode 2 trusting that the developers will deliver another great game for grandadscience and the grand kids to enjoy.

1 January 2016 What Raises the Male Sex Drive? Homosexual Necrophilia in the Sand Martin Riparia riparia

Ornithological Science, 15(1):95-98 (2016). https://doi.org/10.2326/osj.15.95
We observed three Sand Martin Riparia riparia repeatedly attempting to copulate with a dead bird lying face down on the ground, with its wings spread and lowered. One of the three remained on the ground close to the dead bird and guarded it against copulation from the other two birds. Then, the guarding bird itself attempted to copulate with the dead bird. Based on subsequent dissection the dead Sand Martin was identified as an adult male. Based on our observations, we propose that the observed homosexual necrophilia may be partly explained by the absence of sexual dimorphism in this species and the posture of the dead martin.

Having a group of GIS techs digitizing PDF maps that people have markedup is not cost effective for anyone. Having people remotely digitize features and be able to work with them in PostGIS, Google Earth, ArcGIS and just about any OGC complaint application is very powerful. It really comes down to using open source to make everyones job easier and doing much more than you could before with much less money. When you take out the maintenance and the licensing of server software, you can focus your money directly on the problem and solution.

The Controversy Continues—Friedman v Jennings
By Stanton Friedman
Over the years I have been involved in the making of a number of Documentaries about UFOs. These include "UFOs ARE Real", "Flying Saucers ARE Real-(2 Vols.)"; "Stanton T. Friedman IS Real!", "Do you Believe in MAJIC" and in numerous interviews for a wide variety of producers of shows that have aired on the History Channel, The Discovery Channel, TLC, etc.; therefore, I am really puzzled about certain aspects of the Peter Jennings Productions ) PJP UFO special seen on ABC on February 24, 2005.
The word is that 150 people were interviewed and only 50 made the cut. That is far more than would be required for a 2 hour special ... I had heard just before the broadcast that an interview was done with Dr. John Mack, Harvard Psychiatrist that would not be used.It surely would have made a good counterweight to the two Harvard psychologists falsely explaining away abductions as sleep paralysis enhanced with hypnosis It was only after the broadcast that I found out how many extended interviews with very sharp people hadn't been used. Richard Hall, Dr. Richard Haines,Dr. David Jacobs, Ted Roe of Narcap etc.I saw the people who interviewed Don Schmitt (no air time) and myself (20 seconds.. and referring to me as a promoter twice, and calling Roswell a Myth at least twice) in Roswell with Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell. None of this is in the PSP show.Crews for PSP traveled a lot including, for example, the MUFON Conference in Denver. There was no mention of MUFON in the program though CUFOS was given a lot of time with old footage of J. Allan Hynek as well. Strangely he was portrayed as a courageous loner the only one standing up to the debunkers... a totally misleading portrayal.
The question thus arises as to why spend at least many hundreds of thousand dollars to collect far more footage than could possibly be used? Perhaps they will do another special using "the good stuff"? I doubt it.
But if one wanted a real state-of-the-art survey of Ufology, who knows what, is there a better cover story than that a company linked to Peter Jennings, the last remaining Big Time Network news anchor, is making a hard hitting 2 hour special? People are flattered to be asked to contribute. Many of us were questioned for more than an hour. It might also be possible when reviewing the tapes to get clues as to who might be speaking out of turn The crews were very tight about who all they talked to. Is it really surprising that the harshest attacks came down on Roswell, the reality of abductions and the reality of interstellar flight? Glorifying the Silly Effort To Investigate cultists provides a great deal of misdirection away from the reality of UFOs and the government coverup. The footage would be a feast for the minions of whatever group is taking Majestic 12's place to help plan their strategy for debunking and also for possible future release of data. I suspect they are also collecting reactions to the program.
I would like to hear of others whose testimony was taken and not used.

Real Madrid vs Tottenham: Genuine Madrid 1 Tottenham 1: Hugo Lloris gains Spurs notable point on an activity stuffed night at the Bernabeu. Following an engaging an hour and a half, the pioneers of gathering H imparted the distinctions to an objective each in a match that had a lot of rushes and spills and was a great incentive for the 1-1. The two groups made shots in abundance and the conflict of playing styles, and packs were satisfying to the eye. Genuine Madrid's midfield was much excessively penetrable all through the match. Tottenham made various perilous assaults by bypassing the midfield and spilling straight through. Aurier likewise caused Marcelo some significant issues on the wings, particularly in the principal half.

Home / Biblical Timeline / Belgrade a Part of Serbia/Kingdom of Serbia (1719-1739)
Posted on August 3, 2020 July 5, 2020 by Kat Cendana — Leave a comment
Belgrade a Part of Serbia/Kingdom of Serbia (1719-1739)
In 1719, Belgrade became a part of the Kingdom of Serbia. Technically, Serbia became a province of Austria after an agreement reached by the Austrians and the Ottomans in the Treaty of Passarowitz. Apart from Belgrade, the Ottoman province of Timisoara (in present-day Romania) also went to the Austrians. This pushed the Habsburg border further south in the Balkans. Meanwhile, the Muslims of the area had no choice but to leave their homes and move into Ottoman territories. These events are recorded on the Biblical Timeline with World History during that time.
Belgrade: From Antiquity to the Domination of the Ottomans
The city of Belgrade in modern Serbia is one of Europe's oldest cities. Since ancient times, Dacian, Thracian, and Scordisci tribes lived in and around Belgrade. Soon the Romans arrived, and Serbia became a territory of the Republic between 34 and 33 BC. Other groups of peoples, such as the Huns, Gepids, Serbs, and Avars, also settled in the area when it was ruled by the Byzantine Empire.
The Nemanjić dynasty ruled the Serbian Empire between the 12th and 14th centuries. This dynasty produced Serbia's powerful ruler Stefan Dushan. His son, Stefan Uros V, would be the last ruler of an independent Serbia after the empire fell to the Ottomans in 1371. Despots ruled Serbia for more than seventy years until it finally fell to the Ottomans in 1459.
Conquering the stronghold of Belgrade in Serbia was a difficult task for the Ottomans. Attempts to conquer the city started in 1440 under Sultan Murad II. However, his soldiers failed to take it as the city's defenses were too strong. He also lost nearly 15,000 Turkish soldiers during the failed siege.
This failure did not deter the Ottomans as they besieged Belgrade once again in 1456. The defense of the city was led by the Hungarian John Hunyadi who fought alongside a ragtag group of Crusaders and locals. The Turks under Mehmed II failed to capture Belgrade that year, but they managed to capture the Serbian stronghold of Smederevo. Belgrade remained firmly in Hungarian hands until it was captured by Sultan Suleiman and the Ottoman troops in 1521.
Since then the Turks controlled much of Serbia, but this changed when the great Sultan Suleiman died in 1566. His death and the accession of his son, Selim II, signaled the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The Turks under the succeeding sultans spent the greater part of the 17th century defending their Balkan territories from Hungary and Austria. The Empire also dealt with a weak economy after it spent much of its wealth in wars of expansion in Asia and Europe. The reign of Mehmed IV and the Koprulu Grand Viziers briefly revived the empire to its past glory. Unfortunately, the decline continued after the end of the Koprulu Era.
Austrian Domination in Belgrade
Depiction of the Battle of Zenta
In 1683, the Austrians and the Ottomans renewed their hostilities. The Turks suffered a heavy loss in the Battle of Zenta in 1697 under the hands of the Austrians led by Prince Eugene of Savoy. The Ottomans were forced to sue for peace, and both parties signed the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. According to the terms of the treaty, Austria would retain Hungary and Transylvania (territories it wrested from the Ottomans some years before). The Turks kept Belgrade, as well as the area around Timisoara. Now that its European territory became smaller, the Turks limped home in defeat. However, there was little comfort at home because of the Empire's weak economy and the rebellions that continued to plague it over the years.
A new war between the Ottoman Empire and the Austrians flared up again in 1716. The Ottoman army led by Silahdar Ali Pasha marched once again across the Balkans to fight the Austrians in the European frontier. This new war was already unpopular among the sultan's viziers, so their loss to the Austrians led by Eugene of Savoy in the Serbian city of Petrovardin was another heavy blow. The Austrians then marched west and captured the Ottoman stronghold in Timisoara.
By 1717, Eugene of Savoy and the Austrians scored a victory against the Ottoman Turks in the city of Belgrade. The Ottomans were forced to sue for peace with Austria between 1718 and 1719 at Passarowitz. In the Treaty of Passarowitz, the Ottomans were forced to give up Belgrade and Timisoara to the Austrians. With the Ottomans temporarily out of the way, the Austrians were free to turn Serbia into its own province (Kingdom of Serbia).

AFI Fest 2011: Day Seven (Thursday)
0	December 2, 2011	October 8, 2020 Film Reviews
And this completes the festival for another year. All told, I saw 21 features and about the same number of shorts, which is probably my highest festival total ever. A few of them will likely be on my best-of year lists, a few are hovering way down at the bottom of my Flickchart lists, and that's the way a festival should be. Overall, I judge it a major success, and I'm already looking forward to the next time I can gorge on films to the point of exhaustion (likely to be April's TCM Classic Film Festival). Until then, I return to the ranks of ordinary cinemagoer.
I've never seen a film from the Dardenne brothers before, but I know them by reputation, and they seem to often do stories that deal with unwanted or unwelcome children. In this case, the main character is an eleven-year-old kid whose dad puts him in an orphanage ("temporarily") but then ends up abandoning him totally. A kind neighbor takes him in, despite a rather inauspicious meeting, but they've got several bumps in the road left to go, not least of them the kid's temptation to fall in with a bad crowd. It's a bit on the sweet side, but doesn't stray too far into saccharine territory – really good turns from Doret and De France help a lot, making an unlikely relationship realistic and meaningful. There's not enough in the film to really push it over the edge into "loved" territory for me, but it's solid for what it is. Reaction: REALLY LIKED.
This is one I went into with really no quality expectations whatsoever. I chose it because I'd never seen a Turkish film, and because I like slow burn procedural films – to a point. I was a bit concerned that this would go past that point, because it is very long and I was perfectly prepared to be bored stiff. But even though it is very slow, it is never boring, and I ended up liking the film a whole lot more than I thought I would. A caravan of police and army officers are escorting a pair of suspects in the middle of nowhere, trying to find a body that one suspect says is out there, but can't remember exactly where. This odyssey takes all night, and along the way, different groupings of the police and suspects talk. The topics of conversation are as mundane as anything, but over time, this mundanity becomes the real focus, and takes on in importance even greater than the body they seek. It's a narrative subversion that only works because of a really solid script and believable acting turns by the whole cast, and it's a welcome one – by the end, you care more about these people's individual lives than the mystery itself. There's a lot more dry humor in it than I expected, too, which actually made the nearly three-hour runtime go by rather quickly. Reaction: REALLY LIKED.
I'm not entirely sure what to say about this film, even after having had a few weeks to think about it. It's an extremely slowly-paced film, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that – unless it's 10pm the last day of an exhausting festival, which, oh wait, it was. It was difficult to stay awake in the film, but again, that's not the film's fault, and though I struggled while watching it, thinking back about it has made me appreciate a lot of what it was doing more. Hani Furstenberg and Gael Garcia Bernal play a couple about to be married who are vacationing in the mountains of Georgia (the country, not the state), backpacking and camping along with a mountain guide. A lot of the film is just them walking around, maybe taking a few minutes to wander around an abandoned house or interacting with village locals before heading out into the wilds. They converse some, trying to learn about their guide (who is actually played by one of the premier mountaineers in the world) and practicing bits of Spanish, but a lot of it is also wordless. Somewhere in the middle a traumatizing event causes Furstenberg's character to start distrusting Bernal's, which leads to some darker places in the rest of the film. A lot of this is pretty subtle, and I was frankly too sleepy to catch all the acting nuances all the time, but the Q&A and thinking over the film in the subsequent days has definitely made me want a rewatch at some point. Reaction: LIKED.

The (Kind Of Confusing) Reason February Only Has 28 Days
By Sloane Solomon — Written on Feb 01, 2022
Photo: Jesse33 / shutterstock
February is an interesting month, to say the least. It has a lot of amusing holidays, like Groundhog Day, President's Day, and of course Valentine's Day.
And that's not even mentioning that funny little thing called a leap year. February is the only month where the number of days can change according to the year.
Why does February have 28 days?
Much like with all good stories these days, the reason February Is so short starts with a throwback to times long ago and a sprinkle of superstition.
The Romans were pretty much obsessed with time and figuring out ways they could use it to their advantage. Romulus, the first King of Rome, decided on a 10-month, 304-day calendar that excluded the winter months of January and February, as he deemed them unimportant to the harvest. The winter was essentially considered monthless.
When Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, took over, he wanted a calendar that was in sync with each year's 12 lunar cycles. In 713 BC, he added two months, January and February into the calendar. However, this wasn't quite enough to do the trick.
Even numbers were considered back luck according to Roman superstition, so Pompilius wanted each month to last only either 29 or 31 days. But in order to include the necessary 355 days within 12 lunar cycles, one month had to end on an even number, lasting just 28 days.
Pompilius chose February, originally called Februalia to be the unlucky month made up of 28 days. It is believed that February, which comes from the word "februare" (to purify), was chosen because it was already the month dedicated to honoring the dead and purification rites.

Leap year came along later thanks to Julius Caesar.
The calendar developed by Numa Pompilius didn't last long. After just a few years Romans found the the seasons and months were out of sync.
Then Julius Caesar arrived on the scene in 45 BC, fixing the calendar so that it aligned with the sun as based on the Egyptian solar calendar. To do this, each month (other than February) was changed to include either 30 days or 31 days, bringing the total number of days on what became known as the Julian Calendar to 365.
And while February remained set at 28 days, a 29th day was added every four years to keep things staying synced up.
No one knows for sure why Caesar chose to keep February at 28 days. Perhaps he wanted to prove the superstition of even numbers being unlucky wrong, so he made February the first month to end in an even number. No one truly knows the answer, but it is known that Julius was the one who added in the Leap Year.
Caesar added an extra day at the end of February every four years on the advice of Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes. This was to make up for the fact that the Earth's year is slightly more than 365 days. Caesar effectively built the blueprint for what we use today.

Today we use the Gregorian calendar.
Caesar's calculation that a year lasted 365.25 days was pretty close, but it still overestimated the year by roughly 11 minutes causing the placement of Easter to drift far from its traditional place. This wouldn't do for the Catholic Church, so they went to work to fix it.

Pope Gregory XIII introduced his calendar in 1582, keeping Caesar's leap year but eliminating the extra day on centurial years that weren't divisible by 400 (1700,1800, 1900, etc.) to account for the inaccurate calculations.
Experts in the area of time noted that the Gregorian calculation of a solar year — 365.2425 days — is still not perfect. That means another change will have to happen eventually. But it's only off by about one day every 3,030 years, so it'll be a while before that happens.

Baghdad's Green Zone closed by protestors ahead of verdict on vote results
According to a local security official on Monday, hundreds of Iraqi protesters closed entrances to Baghdad's Green Zone in protest of the results of the country's parliamentary elections.
On Monday, according to a local security official, hundreds of Iraqi protesters closed entrances to Baghdad's Green Zone in protest of the results of the country's parliamentary elections.
The protest came hours before an expected verdict by Iraq's Federal Court in a lawsuit contesting the results of the October 10 polls.
Additional security and military forces were dispatched to the area to prevent protesters from storming the zone, the security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed.
The Green Zone hosts most foreign diplomatic missions.
Monday's verdict by the Federal Court will be final and cannot be appealed.
Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's bloc won the October 10 elections by obtaining 73 seats in the 329-member parliament. Meanwhile, pro-Iranian factions saw their seats decrease from 48 in the 2018 elections to only 17.
Citing technical and legal violations, Hadi al-Ameri, the head of the Fatah coalition, filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court to contest the vote results on December 4.

ADEW was founded in Egypt in 1987. Its mission is to empower marginalised female heads of households (FHH) economically, socially and politically. It combines grassroots programmes with advocacy, and promotes more gender-sensitive approaches to development and issues of public policy in Egypt and the MENA region.
ADEW's "Girls Dream" programme targets 1,200 of the most marginalised adolescent girls living in the squatter areas of Cairo, Manshiet Nasser and Misr El Kadima. It aims to raise the girls' awareness and knowledge of their own legal rights and duties in society. ADEW helps girls develop financial literacy skills as well as advance marketable employment or self-employment skills, according to their own interests and abilities. In addition, ADEW seeks to inform girls about reproductive health as well as promote functional literacy and numeracy.
ADEW has recently added sport activities (basketball, fitness) within their Girls Dream programme as a pilot with 100 girls. The organisation seeks to formulate a model for scale and replication.


GENEVA: More than half the world's elderly lack access to long-term care, the International Labour Organization said in a report Monday, condemning the "deplorable" situation facing a rapidly ageing population.
Despite the ballooning need of the elderly for long-term care, Monday's report showed most countries were ignoring or under-prioritising their needs.
"This deplorable situation is reflected in the very low public LTC (long term care) expenditure, which amounts to less than 1.0 percent of GDP on average globally," study author Xenia Scheil-Adlung said in a statement.
The ILO report charged that "discrimination and negative attitudes towards older persons" were a big part of the problem.
"Ageism is a global phenomenon that is sometimes even laid down in regulations and legislation, for example higher costs or unfavourable conditions of certain insurance policies for older persons, or being refused for specific medical services due to age," it said.
Only 5.6 per cent of the world's population lives in countries, including Germany and Japan, that provide universal long-term care.
But even the most "generous" countries, found in Europe, spend only two percent or less of their GDP on long-term care, the ILO report said.
This forces many older people living in even some of the world's richest countries to pay for up to 100 percent of their care from their own pockets.
"Persons in need should not face financial hardship and an increased risk of poverty due to the financial consequences of accessing care," the report said.
The ILO study dismissed as "ageism" fears that care for the elderly is becoming unaffordable as populations grow older.

I just got back from a week up at Blue Mountain with The Husband and The Parasite. What an awesome family vacation! Our little water baby has gotten over her fear of jumping into the pool, aided by my friend's slightly older daughter doing it 100 times with gusto while they visited. The Husband and I took a hike up the mountain and felt mighty pleased with ourselves in spite of the soreness and fatigue. The whole time we were thinking it was a good thing The Parasite was in the kid's program for the day because there was no way she'd be able to do it. And then we learned she already had with the rest of the kids. So we accomplished as much as our three year old did... That kid of mine, FEARLESS!
We had one of the resort condos which gave us space to spread out while providing a shitload of savings because we made our own food. Savings we promptly used on things like dinner out one night at the resort's nicest restaurant and a day trip to the Scandinave Spa while we took advantage of the resort-approved sitters and kid's club. It was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation and now I'm totally chilled and refreshed. And totally not interested in going back to work tomorrow. But back I will go so we can have another family vacation in the winter. Now that traveling with The Parasite is more fun than exhausting, I can't wait!
Haha, I love it! I also pat myself on the back all the time for my "big" accomplishments...until I see my 4 year old out-doing me each and every time! At least she wasn't with you rubbing it in your face!

Cities Now Home to More Than Half of All People
Planners will need to develop not just new lands, but also new uses for existing spaces, as the world becomes increasingly urban. Transcript of radio broadcast. Source: VOA

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report.
Over half the world's people now live in cities. The latest "Global Report on Human Settlements" says the historic change took place last year. The report came out this week from U.N. Habitat, a United Nations agency.
A century ago, less than five percent of all people lived in cities. By the middle of this century it could be seventy percent, or almost six and a half billion people.
Already three-fourths of people in developed countries live in cities. Now most urban population growth is in the developing world.
Urbanization can lead to social and economic progress, but also pressure on cities to provide housing and services. The new report says almost two hundred thousand people move into cities and towns each day. It says worsening inequalities, driven by social divisions and differences in wealth, could lead to violence unless cities plan better.
Another issue is urban sprawl. This is where cities expand into rural areas, sometimes at a much faster rate than urban population growth.
Sprawl is common in the United States. Americans move a lot. In a recent study, Art Hall at the University of Kansas found that people are moving away from the major cities to smaller cities. He sees a trend toward "de-urbanization" across America.
But urban economies still provide possibilities that rural areas do not.
Sabina Deitrick at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, is an expert on cities. She notes that urbanization brings social change that can empower women.
SABINA DEITRICK: "Women entering the labor force is one big change and that always goes up with urbanization and certainly will proceed in many, many countries where urbanization is increasing rapidly."
Sabina Deitrick has closely studied Pittsburgh from the loss of its main industry, steel, to its rebirth as a smaller city with different industries. She says the reuse of existing land and spaces and the reinvention of urban life is important if cities are to succeed.
Professor Deitrick notes that a city's ability to educate and train its people is important to jobs and new industries. Even new industries based on old ideas.
Around the world, people leave rural farm jobs to go to the city. Yet now there is growing demand for farm products grown close to the cities where they are used. Urban farming is taking hold in some of the world's biggest cities. Sabina Deitrick says studies show that urban farming is one area where woman can earn more than men do.
And that's the VOA Special English Economics Report, written by Mario Ritter. I'm Steve Ember.
That's curious!
The word sandwich comes from the English diplomat John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. He was such a compulsive gambler that to avoid stopping the game to eat, he would order that this kind of food was brought to his table so as not to waste too much time.

Every Premier League team's most overlooked player of the decade
By Oliver Browning
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially in football.
The game is full of 'what ifs?' - and that is certainly the case when it comes to buying and selling players.
Every fan knows of one great player they wish their club could have held on to - Kevin De Bruyne at Chelsea, or Jadon Sancho at Manchester City, for example.
Those are perhaps some of the highest-profile cases of teams seriously overlooking the talents of a certain star.
But who exactly are the most overlooked players for each Premier League club? Well, HITC Sport and The Irish Guy have been exploring just that on YouTube.
The PL's most valuable starting XI
Ranking Man Utd's best & worst signings
The Premier League Team of the Decade
So, let's get into it.
Arsenal - Serge Gnabry
When Gnabry left the Gunners for Werder Bremen in 2016, very few eyebrows were raised.
After all, this was the youngster that couldn't break into the first team and went on-loan to West Brom, where he played just THREE games.
But fast forward three years and Gnabry is now one of Europe's hottest properties and he's ripping up the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich. How Arsenal could do with him now.
Aston Villa - Marc Albrighton
'This was laughable' says The Irish Guy. After Albrighton was released by Villa in 2014 and told he wasn't good enough, he went on to join Leicester and win the Premier League.
The winger played EVERY SINGLE game in their title-winning campaign, while Villa, with Scott Sinclair out wide, were relegated to the Championship that same year.
Bournemouth - Tyrone Mings
Mings played just 17 games for Bournemouth after arriving for £8 million in 2015. He didn't make an impression on the south coast but has become a £20 million rated England international at Villa.
Just imagine Mings and Nathan Ake in the same backline this season.
Brighton - Fikayo Tomori
Chelsea sent Tomori on-loan to Brighton in 2017, where he made just nine Championship appearances as a 19-year-old.
The club had a chance to either extend his loan or even buy the defender the following summer but did neither. Now, he's a Chelsea regular and at 21, already has an England cap.
Burnley - Shane Duffy
Duffy was another loanee who wasn't given a chance by his temporary club in 2011. He made just one appearance for Burnley before returning to Everton.
But now, he's a regular Premier League centre-back with Brighton, having made 80 appearances in England's top flight.
Chelsea - Kevin De Bruyne
Where do we start with Chelsea? There are so many players the club has overlooked - Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah to name a few. But the worst is De Bruyne.
After leaving Stamford Bridge, the Belgian impressed in Germany before joining Man City for £55 million. He's since become the most dangerous midfielder in the Premier League and won seven major trophies in four years.
Crystal Palace - John Egan
In 2012, Palace had Egan on-loan from Sunderland. But he didn't get a real chance, playing just once in the FA Cup.
Had the Eagles shown a little more faith, Egan would be in their backline, rather than forming a solid centre-back partnership at Sheffield United, where he's been winning plenty of plaudits.
Everton - Eric Dier
Dier has played over 200 times for Spurs, featured in a Champions League final and even scored an important penalty for England in the World Cup.
But he could easily have been featuring for Everton, had they not overlooked him in 2011, where they played him in the under-18s during his time on-loan from Sporting Lisbon. Ouch.
Leicester City - Chris Wood
Of course, Leicester have done just fine without Wood. But after moving to Leeds for £3m, the striker scored 30 goals and earned himself another chance in the Premier League with Burnley.
Foxes fans won't have too many regrets about letting him go, but Wood could have been a decent option off the bench for Jamie Vardy.
Liverpool - Iago Aspas
He didn't make an impression at Anfield, but Aspas is a solid goalscorer. Since leaving Liverpool, he's returned to La Liga, where he's netted over 100 goals and even won the Europa League.
Aspas has also been named in two Spanish Team of the Seasons and even scored at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Manchester City - Kieran Trippier
The Irish Guy has named Trippier over Sancho because he believes Man City didn't really overlook the latter.
They did everything they could to keep him, bar starting the teenager over the likes of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane while chasing Premier League titles.
So Trippier is a fair shout. After three years in the academy, he was sold for £2m but has since gone on to play for some of Europe's biggest clubs and score in a World Cup semi-final.
Manchester United - Wilfried Zaha
Zaha just edges Paul Pogba in terms of United's most overlooked player. The winger made just two appearances for the club but is now one of the league's most skilful and dangerous players.
While Zaha is no longer at Old Trafford, Jesse Lingard has gone on to make 185 appearances in his place. Unlucky, United fans.
Newcastle - Florian Thauvin
Thauvin played 13 games for the Toon and failed to impress between 2015 and 2017. But he's since gone on to score 63 goals for Marseille and play in France's World Cup winning team.
Norwich City - Harry Kane
Norwich had Kane on their books during the 2012-13 season.
The club were battling relegation and didn't want to risk playing an unknown youngster, so Kane sat on the bench behind Steve Morison and Grant Holt, playing just 150 minutes for the club.
He's since gone on to become one of the Premier League's best strikers, win the Golden Boot and captain England. It seems likely he'll soon become his nation's all-time leading goalscorer, too.
Sheffield United - Aaron Ramsdale
The Irish Guy reckons Ramsdale will one day go on to become England's regular goalkeeper. At 21, he's holding down a first-team spot at Bournemouth and looks on course for a call-up.
Yes, the Blades have a promising young England goalkeeper of their own this season, but he's only on-loan from Man United. Had they kept Ramsdale, they'd have a promising talent of their own.
Southampton - Martin Caceres
The Saints haven't overlooked many, but Caceres certainly slipped through the cracks.
He played just once for Southampton but was good enough for more of a chance at Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus. It's certainly a strange one.
Tottenham - Jermaine Defoe
Spurs waved goodbye to a proven Premier League goalscorer when he moved to MLS in 2014. Meanwhile, Roberto Soldado took his place up-front.
The Irish Guy claims Defoe left way too early and that the move away from Spurs 'made no sense to anybody'.
Watford - Britt Assombalonga
Assombalonga has become a solid goalscorer since leaving Watford, where he was given just four games to prove himself.
After leaving, he's netted over 60 Championship goals and right now, the Hornets could really do with a striker capable of doing that.
West Ham - Victor Moses
In 2015, Moses looked like a bang average winger and was shipped out on loan by Chelsea to West Ham. There, he spent most of the time on the bench, scoring just once.
The Hammers decided against making the move permanent and just 12 months on, Moses featured 34 times at right wing-back in the Premier League as Chelsea stormed to the title. Madness.
Wolves - Nathaniel Mendez-Laing
Wolves fans won't lose any sleep over their club selling Mendez-Laing. He made a grand total of zero league appearances but has since gone on to play pretty well for Cardiff.
The Midlands club, of course, are doing well without him anyway. Clearly, they don't overlook many players!
Well, what a decade it's been. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we can now see that some Premier League clubs made big mistakes over the last 10 years.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United are perhaps the most guilty parties.
But just imagine how different things would have been if Norwich kept Kane, or if Everton held on to Dier. Would those two be as successful as they have been? Perhaps not.

Jost Kobusch –
Solo Climbing Athlete
"Since summiting Annapurna (8,091m) in May 2016, I find myself amongst the youngest Germans to climb an 8,000m peak. But unlinke most climbers, I choose another approach - solo, no oxygen and no support. With SPOT, you can follow me in real-time on my expeditions, even if they are far off the grid. One advantage of SPOT is that in many cases it replaces my heavy and expensive satellite phone. Its simple features and messages contain my GPS location which makes checking-in easy and rescues highly efficent. But the biggest advantage is its simplicity. Explaining via SMS what's wrong and where to find me would be a waste of precious time and doing that with gloves on is even more challenging. Anyway, the weather is often very bad and satellite connection is too poor to make a call via satellite phone. But with my SPOT, I am just the push of one button away from the world. That is why I don't go on an expedition without SPOT."
Joel Jaile Casademont –
Extreme Runner
"It's a great honour to be part of the SPOT ambassador family. SPOT provides me, my family and friends with a much greater deal of safety and security whenever I plan an adventure in hostile environments or take part in ultra-races in extreme conditions. Even in the coldest conditions, I feel safe. The support and recognition to be part of this family encourages me to keep going as I feel my sponsors and supporters around me all the time. I wouldn´t go anywhere remote or anywhere where I would put myself at risk without a SPOT". In 2016 I have set my eyes on important challenges like the Tor des Geants, the Transpyrinea or the Himalayas round trip and SPOT is the perfect partner to cover my back if I´m in trouble."
Captain Dave Carraro -
F/V Tuna.com, Wicked Tuna TV Show
"As a competitive and safety-conscious captain, I now require my whole crew to keep a SPOT GEN3 on their primary survival suits. I also keep three SPOT TRACE units on our secondary inflatables so we can be easily tracked in case of emergency."
Ben Rueck
"In my search for adventure, I travel the globe to some of the most remote places ranging from New Zealand to China in search of new rock climbs and big walls. With my SPOT I can have a reliable way to let my family know where I am and that I am still alive and ok when there is no other communication. To me that is invaluable."
April Vokey -
Angler and Hunter
"Finally I have a way to let my family know that I'm ok (or not) while fishing and hunting! Over the years, I've dabbled with various devices that can reach emergency services if I'm lost or injured... but none of them allowed me the opportunity to communicate reliably with my family and track my movements. My SPOT GEN3 lets them know if I'm ok, if I'll be late, if I need non-life-threatening assistance, or if I need emergency-responders. All of us just feel a little more secure not having to wait for me to get back in cell service to check in."
Victoria Valchev -
"Carrying a SPOT with me in the mountains not only makes me feel safer in case of an emergency, but it's also a great way to keep in touch with my family by sending them my location several times per day. Hooking it to the outside of my pack allows me to keep covering ground while the messages send."
Katie DeLorenzo -
New Mexico Huntress
"Being alone in the wilderness with no cell service is unsettling. As an aspiring solo hunter in the vast open space of the Western U.S., the SPOT GEN 3 gives me the confidence to explore. From its tracking capability to the SOS feature, the SPOT device reassures my family that I'm safe and gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing that if I ever do end up in a survival situation I can summon help with the touch of a button."
Leigh Wright -
Everyday Explorer
"While not all of my adventures take me off the grid, having SPOT allows my friends and loved ones to track where I am and gives me peace of mind in case I do run into trouble."
Aaron Phillips -
Wilderness Guide, Naked and Afraid Survivor
"I spend copious amounts of time in Florida's subtropical and tropical wilderness. My SPOT Gen3 helps my wife and son sleep better while I'm away. Thanks to Globalstar, followers and fans can adventure right along with me!"
Adventure Aaron -
Aaron Carotta
"My SPOT tracker provided a unique and precise location that I could also share with my social media following, eager to follow along. It was put to the text over the course of my most recent outdoor expedition on the water for 233 days, and passed the test with flying colors. I am happy to say I am part of all that SPOT LLC offers and look forward to sharing the experience with their products on my next adventure."
Edward Gramza -
Avid Hunter and Fisherman
"My SPOT Gen3 gives me and my family the peace of mind that I can let them know I am safe when out in the field. Too often, the best places to chase game are in areas with little to no cell service. The SPOT Gen3 is one of the most important tools in my pack."
Trevor Thomas -
Blind Hiker
"As a professional, blind long distance hiker, safety for myself and my guide dog is my priority when in the back country. No matter who you are, things can go wrong and my SPOT GEN3 is the most important piece of gear that I have."
Tennille -
Guide Dog for Trevor Thomas
"SPOT keeps my guide dog, Tennille, safe when we're out on our journeys. I don't have to worry that is something unexpected happens, she's tracked by superior satellite technology that can pinpoint her location every 2.5 minutes"
Dale Sanders -
"The Grey Beard Adventurer" and oldest man to solo paddle the MS River
"I carry my SPOT Gen3 for multiple reasons, but mostly because it gives me peace of mind knowing I have SPOT with me everywhere I go away from civilization."
Dan Kennedy and Nicole Truax-
Linked Ring Photography
"SPOT is our way of enjoying total isolation without being totally isolated. Help is only a button push away, and that peace of mind is comforting whether we're on a 91km canoe paddle in a torrential rainstorm, stuck on a mountain during a hailstorm, or floating in the middle of the ocean. We know SPOT is always looking out for us."
Glen DuPont-
Avid Motorcycle Rider and SPOT Rescuee
"I've used SPOT for a number of years when riding. Never did I think I'd be using the S.O.S. button...but if it weren't for SPOT, rescuers would have never found me when I fell off a cliff in 2013. I don't go anywhere without my SPOT GEN3."
Bryan Keenan-
SoCal Guided Hunts and 1st Hunt TV Show Host
"As a professional hunter and guide there is no better peace of mind for myself and my clients than a SPOT GEN3. As hunters, we sometimes let our guard down to chase the game. SPOT GEN3 is the best tool a hunter could have, knowing you can get help if needed with just the push of a button."
Paul Pelland-
"Long Haul Paul"
"In addition to having peace of mind while traveling alone, my SPOT allows my supporters to follow my journey as I cross the continent chasing a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. MS may have taken my memory, but by using the SPOT GEN3, I no longer worry about forgetting to call my wife after long days on the road. Yes, my SPOT doubles as a marriage saving device!"
Simon & Lisa Thomas -

"Lisa and I have used SPOT's tracking system over the years to provide us peace of mind and security in the most remote regions in the world. Our families and friends stay sane, knowing that we're safe and well, with a press of simple 'OK' button."
Clark McNulty -
Water Photographer and Ocean Dweller
"I rely on my SPOT GEN3, SPOT GLOBAL PHONE and SPOT TRACE while traveling the world's oceans in search of big game fish and ocean wildlife. It's great to able to stay in touch and reach out if I need help."
Jay Scott -
"Jay Scott Outdoors"
"I have a real sense of peace knowing that I have the SPOT GEN3 with me on my hunting and fishing adventures. My wife can rest easy that I am still alive and kicking by getting updates and being able to track my every move. Just knowing that it makes her much more comfortable is a relief. I hope to never have to use the SOS button but if I do I know that help will be on the way".
Ramona Cox -
"Sky Chick"
"I specifically seek out the most remote, challenging and pristine airstrips in North America where few pilots have the equipment or skills to land. With no cellular service, my SPOT GEN3 is my 911. Whether it's a forced landing in unfriendly terrain or a post-landing emergency situation, I know I can count on SPOT should an emergency occur."
Ken Hoeve -
Extreme Paddle Boarder
"Often times the places we paddle are not only dangerous but also remote. SPOT keeps me connected so that in the event things don't go as planned I always have the ability to communicate with a rescue resource. Having a tool like this helps reduce the risks and allows me to focus on the rapids"
Carter Andrews -
"The Obsession of Carter Andrews"
"Whether I am on a fishing adventure with my family and friends or filming an episode of my TV show The Obsession of Carter Andrews I travel with my SPOT GEN3. The security and confidence I feel with SPOT allows me to enjoy the adventure that much more."
Scotty Breauxman, Moto -

"I didn't get it for me…I got it for my family. I fly into mountain airports where radar and cell phones don't work. The SPOT GEN3 works with 1800WxBrief.com to provide Surveillance Enhanced Search & rescue tracking and sends messages to my family when I land, so they know I'm safe and can sleep easy."
