The Iraq War's Six Years of Mayhem
By David Swanson
Editor's Note: The U.S. government's occupation of Iraq has just passed its sixth anniversary, with many of its neoconservative supporters claiming vindication because the horrific death toll has declined over the last two years. Other Americans are willing to give President Barack Obama time to extricate the United States from what they view as a bloody quagmire.
But the horror and the lies behind President George W. Bush's war of aggression remain very real to many people both inside the United States and inside Iraq, as David Swanson of afterdowningstreet.org notes in this guest essay:
Thus far, 4,261 members of the U.S. military have been killed in Iraq and 67,237 wounded.
That's not counting many diagnosed after leaving Iraq, including estimated hundreds of thousands with traumatic brain injury, hundreds of thousands with post-traumatic stress disorder, unknown numbers poisoned by hexavalent chromium or depleted uranium, also not counting the many victims of murder by veterans unable to stop doing their jobs, not counting the one in three women in the military sexually assaulted by men in the military, and not counting 6,570 suicides, and twice that many attempts, per year by veterans, and rising.
Suffering and death for U.S. troops resulting from the war on Iraq is rising, not diminishing. Veterans are becoming ill, homeless, murderous, and suicidal.
Meanwhile, for Iraqis, years of homelessness, imprisonment, lack of electricity, lack of medicine, injuries, trauma, lost family members, and poisoned environments are taking their toll.
Of 1.2 million killed, 2,000 have been doctors. There are 4.7 million refugees, including 20,000 doctors. Almost a third of Iraq's children suffer from malnutrition, and virtually all Iraqis lack adequate medical services, electricity, and -- in many areas -- drinking water. Cancer and miscarriages have increased dramatically.
While violence is down, the same may not be true of deaths and suffering.
While the U.S. media obsesses over teeny fractions of the trillions of dollars the U.S. government is giving to bankers, 130,000 troops and 160,000 contractors continue to occupy Iraq in the name of the United States, and very few Iraqis are convinced they will ever leave, while even fewer want them to stay.
The protest on Saturday at the Pentagon was smaller than on past anniversaries of the invasion of Iraq, apparently limited to those who do not leave it to their televisions to decide what is important to them. Very few voices in the U.S. media address the topic with any seriousness at all.
A fake New York Times declared the war over in November as soon as a different brand was put on the "commander in chief," but the corporate media, congress, and most of the public has accepted that story with a straight face.
Speaking of New York Times stunts, a year ago this week a former member of the German parliament named Jurgen Todenhofer placed three full-page ads in the New York Times setting out ten theses for reforming the West's understanding of the Muslim world.
Iraqi Resistance
Todenhofer has now published a book that includes those theses in the conclusion. I recommend reading the whole book, which carries the disturbing title Why Do You Kill: The Untold Story of the Iraqi Resistance.
The book recounts a trip that Todenhofer made last year to Ramadi, Iraq, where he met with resistance fighters. The term Iraqi resistance fighter is not even familiar to Americans. We generally hear about "insurgents."
Just as "weapons of mass destruction" was a term meant to blur an important distinction between nuclear and other kinds of weapons, "insurgent" is meant to conflate those legally fighting against an occupying army with those targeting civilians.
The people Todenhofer speaks with place the highest value on protecting civilians, but make it their job to kill American soldiers in Iraq.
Todenhofer does not defend what they do or claim to have verified everything they say. But what they say is new, interesting, and almost certainly contains some elements of the truth, just as the statements of the Pentagon and its embedded pundits may contain some elements of the truth.
Todenhofer does not spare us the horrible stories of how the people he meets came to join the resistance, the murder and abuse of their loved ones by Americans, the desperation, fear, anger, and hatred. He fails to discuss the presence of nonviolent resistance in Iraq and fails to adequately appeal for it.
But he paints a picture for us of how members of the armed resistance think about what they are doing. One Iraqi tells him:
"One of my nephews, Zaid, was given the job of setting off the bomb. As the convoy approached, an old man sat down on a stone just opposite the spot where the bomb had been hidden. Zaid stared at him in dismay and waved to him from a distance to try to make him move. In just a few seconds he would have to trigger the detonation.
"Zaid started to shake and tears were trickling down his face. When the convoy was level with the bomb, he knew he had to set the bomb off at once. But he did not activate the bomb. White as a sheet, he slowly opened his fist, careful not to touch the activator. He let the convoy pass, unharmed.
"He went to his comrades and handed them the activator without saying a word. They all embraced him because he has spared the old man."
Another resistance fighter gives Todenhofer a typical view of the forces at play in Iraq:
"The resistance is not fighting to establish an Islamic theocratic state -- unlike both Al Qaeda, which is financed by Saudi 'charitable organizations,' and the radical Shi-ite militias, which are mostly funded by Iran. The resistance wants to install a secular constitution …
"For Mohammed, terrorists are people who kill civilians for political reasons. He therefore considers Al Qaeda, the death squads run by certain politicians, and the U.S. government all to be terrorists."
Another Iraqi describes a different sort of relationship to U.S. troops:
"His tribe helped a number of American soldiers desert and smuggled them across the border into Jordan. The GIs paid an average of 600 dollars just to get out of Iraq. And they had to hand over their uniforms and weapons. But they were happy to do so. In exchange they were given an Iraqi dishdasha. Abu Bassim says he himself helped five American soldiers flee."
The same Iraqi young man described as refraining from pressing a detonator above hammers home the bloody consequences of Americans permitting the impression to be made that Bush actually defeated Kerry in 2004:
"I ask Zaid if it did not terrify him to have the power to decide whether young American soldiers will live or die. Zaid clenches his teeth. The American soldiers did not think twice before targeting and shooting his brothers, he retorts. He knows that many people in America are against this war, but they re-elected Bush despite his lies and despite the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and of many American soldiers …
"I ask if he ever thinks of the parents of the young American soldiers he has killed. Those parents and even those sons might have been against this war, just as he is. Zaid looks at me long and hard, and answers with another question: 'Have these people ever thought about my family, even for a moment?'"

As Top Gear continues to coin its new aisle with Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid admirably arch the charge, this week's chance is a bit of a change of clip – but that's by no agency a bad thing.
After two weeks focused on the US, chase tracks, accessible anchorage and a coursing for Big Foot, it was apparently time for some new backdrop and a altered focus. This time it's Japan, and already afresh the growing affiliation amid Matt and Chris shines – and possibly alike carries the chance – as they abide to assignment abundantly able-bodied together.
Going beeline into the activity with Chris abaft the caster of a LC500 Lexus, it's aggregate admirers could appetite and added – while the assembly additionally deserves a acknowledgment for actuality absolutely on point.

Matt and Chris are tasked with anniversary affairs a car at USS Tokyo Car Bargain afterwards a chase through Tokyo to see if a comfortable auto ride in abundant cartage would exhausted a ride on the alms system. The absolute fun starts already they access at the auction, aces up their cars – with all the activity you'd apprehend in such an absurd abode – and get aback on the road, with the aim of alteration their car aback to the UK and authoritative a profit.
The challenges about-face a little predictable. As abundant as the over-reliance on the Japanese capacity and clichés grated afterwards a while, the angel of both stars antagonism annular a clue with a Sumo wrestler for a commuter is absolutely what Top Gear's about.
However, to be fair to the aggregation this week, it's not all bargain jokes and adorned production.

It's a abandonment for Top Gear but a acceptable one, with the addictive images of kids' shoes in the streets and swings in a amphitheater abiding as the chance continues.
Elsewhere, Rory shows a actual altered ancillary of Japan with the underground car scene, including tricked out Lambos and the Bosozoku (biker gang) culture, which alike he admits is adjoining on illegal. The hustle and bustle of the burghal provides a abundant about-face from Matt and Chris' accessible alley adventure, during an chance that manages to bang admitting bound time in the flat to advice breach things up.
In a abundant highlight, Rory alike gets to try out a Porsche 962 – one of the best ascendant chase cars of its day – and it's absolutely alley legal! It's bucket-list being for the presenter, alike if it all goes up in smoke on the way aback from his drive. This one absolutely has to be seen.
For a revamped appearance still award its feet, Top Gear continues to hit home runs and booty risks with the way it presents itself. The Japanese focus of the cartoon is cheesy, but it works able-bodied and added than complemented the cars. If Matt, Chris and Rory can abide like this, admirers should be in for a absolute amusement as the alternation continues.

2002 PG-13 1h 39m Blu-ray / DVD
The Qin king has long been obsessed with conquering China and becoming her first Emperor, which makes him the target of three legendary assassins. Now, a nameless warrior claims to have defeated them all and recounts each confrontation for the king.
Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung, Ziyi Zhang, Daoming Chen, Donnie Yen, Zhongyuan Liu, Tianyong Zheng, Yan Qin, James Hong, Ma Wen Hua, Xu Kuang Hua

Chinese Mandarin: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo

PG-13 - Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Parents are urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers.
Parents need to know that this mature movie is a meditation on the nature of heroism, the purpose of violence, and what it takes to live in peace. So if you go expecting Jackie Chan, your kids will be mystified. Kids younger than 12 are going to find the circular nature of the narrative very confusing since the story is told four different times in four different versions. Also, unlike Crouching Tiger, there's a lot of talking in the movie, which means a lot of subtitles. Unless you want someone tugging on your arm saying "What did he say?" we suggest teens and up age wise. There's one naked tush in the beginning, and a woman has her clothes ripped off in a lovemaking scene but otherwise, the only concern is the swordplay and the occasional blood.
One bare bottom; a mistress has her robe torn open (non-explicitly) and there is consentual sex -- seen only as writhing shapes under sheets. Talk of a one-night stand and what is more or less adultery.
Characters (including innocent civilians) killed in showers of arrows. Principle characters die in swordfights and stabbings, with only some bloodshed (some combatants are simply slapped and tapped with the flat sides of the weapons instead -- this tends to be an insult). One double suicide by sword.
Morally complex idea of being a "hero" -- not just a superhero defeating powerful enemies but one with a secret agenda who is willing to change his mission and die for a superior cause (and possibly be misperceived as a traitor). Sub-themes about the deceptive nature of "truth"; destructiveness of jealousy and revenge; need to put aside regional differences to unify as one vast, more powerful union -- even if it means submitting to conquest by a tyrant.
The main character is invited to "drink" with the King.

Factors to be Contemplated While Choosing the Top Building and Pest Inspection Company.
You should contemplate on checking the license of the company which offers the inspection services. The inspecting firm should have a business permit showing they are approved firm with inspection services. Mostly, you will find that the people operating these services work with carpentry and painting license only. It shows that they have no training for inspecting the buildings which means you should ensure the license is for building and pest inspection.
You should consider a firm which has employees covered by engaging an insured firm.

Jersey City's "Monopoly Mural" on Newark Avenue serves as a lens into Jersey City's mural program, a fusion of private art and public space. The 33-square foot mural was the work of local artist Mr. Abillity. Mr. Abillity began painting the mural in late May, completed it in June, but by mid-July, the mural was gone.
Page 1 of the 2-page contract for the Monopoly mural (click to enlarge in new browser window).
The backstory of the mural has been detailed in the Jersey Journal and on WNYC, but the angle we are exploring for the first time in this article is: the contract. Whenever an artist does a large commission, especially if such a project involves public money, he must sign a contract with the organization sponsoring it. As was the case with the Monopoly mural.
On July 1, 2016 CivicParent filed an Open Public Records Act ("OPRA") request to get a copy of that contract. Under NJ OPRA law, the City is required to respond to the request within 7 days, yet it took the city nearly two weeks; on July 13th the City Clerk's office provided an initial response, stating "the City is conducting its search and an additional 2 weeks is needed for processing this request." Finally, two weeks later, on July 27th, we received the two page contract.
We shared the document with Heather Darcy Bhandari, co-author of the book Art/Work: Everything You Need To Know (and Do) As You Pursue Your Art Career, which explains standard business practices for professional artists. Below is an excerpt of an interview with her, in which she critiques the contract and points out its many lapses. In addition, she makes some suggestions of the kind of protections artists should ask for in such a document.
By reviewing this contract, we can glean insight into the quality and professionalism of Jersey City's mural program. This insight is important for local artists who may want to partner with the city. It is also important for taxpayers who rely on City officials to serve as professional stewards of Jersey City's arts programming, paid for by public money. And lastly, open spaces matter – the look and feel of neighborhoods are important, and murals can help give communities a sense of pride and place, if executed correctly.
A copy of the Monopoly Mural contract can be found here.
CP/AW: What do you think of the contract overall?
HDB: It's very strange. I would never have signed it. Much is missing and many clauses are worrisome for an artist.
CP/AW: Ideally, what sort of basics should be included in the contract? And are those things in this current contract?
HDB: Below are basic things to think about/include in a contract when entering into a commission agreement. Unfortunately, most of these things are either absent from the contract you sent me, or not stated clearly.
whether the commissioning body is given the right (a license) to reproduce images of the work. If they are given the right, under what circumstances and with what credit given to the artist?
a clause releasing the artist from claims related to the work (for example injuries and property damage). The commissioning body will probably want to release themselves against claims if the artist infringed someone else's copyright.
legal clauses pertaining to the signing of the agreement including potential breach, potential conflict, and which state's law governs the agreement.
CP/AW: Can you explain the section on copyright (article 6)? When an artist signs this, what exactly are they signing over to the city? Does this seem fair to you?
HDB: I don't understand the clauses on copyright. Copyright is a bundle of rights given to an artist the moment a piece is completed. An artist does not have to register for copyright to get copyright protection (although there are certain additional benefits that go along with registration).
It is not clear how the city has any right to register for his copyright whether or not [the artist] registers himself.
Regardless of whether [the artist] has copyright (but, as I already stated, he does regardless of whether he filed), he also has VARA rights.
CP/AW: What about maintenance in the case of the mural being tagged or through normal wear and tear?
HDB: VARA touches on this. Although, if I were the artist, I would ask for the maintenance schedule and protocol to be outlined specifically in the contract.
CP/AW: What about length of installation? Is the assumption that the mural is permanent or temporary, and what do you think about setting out reasonable expectations on length of installation?
HDB: Based on the contract, I have no clue whether this mural is meant to be permanent or temporary. That is one of the most basic elements in a commission agreement: timeline. Timeline should include installation AND de-installation timing or a mention that the work is semi-permanent or permanent.
CP/AW: What is the general understanding of a model or mockup? Once an artist has submitted a model and it has been accepted, are there usually provisions and changes that occur down the line, or is that unusual?
HDB: The general understanding is that once a model or mockup is approved, it is executed as close to the model/mockup as possible. Expectations are set on both sides once the mockup is approved.
However, sometimes an artists needs to change an element, or the commissioning body wants to make a change. That possibility should be spelled out in advance and the artist should limit the number of changes that can occur. For example, the artist could specify a date or a level of completion at which he/she will take input. However, I do not suggest that since the consequences can be maddening. Instead, I suggest the artist put something very simple into the contract that states the project will be executed in accordance with the mockup.
I have experienced situations where revisions to a commission are anticipated and necessary. In those cases, I've worked a timeline into the contract that specifies the number of revisions and at what point they can occur throughout the completion of the project. Additional compensation is required if the commissioning body wants to make more revisions than were originally agreed upon. And the artist has the right to walk away (fully compensated) if the revisions exceed the original agreement and stray too far from the approved mockup.
CP/AW: A fee is not noted (although the artist has remarked that he was paid for the project). Should that information be included?
HDB: Yes! I would have the total compensation listed, along with a payment schedule. When an artist is doing a commission, they should be paid a portion of the amount in advance and the remainder upon completion (perhaps the total amount is split into several payments at key moments throughout the completion of a large project). Ideally, there should also be a clause stating that the artist will be compensated in full after a pre-determined point, even if the commissioning body pulls the plug on the project.
CP/AW: Is there anything in particular you'd like to see added or changed in the contract?
HDB: Too many things to list! Overall, clarity is absent. Artist's rights are missing. A mention of VARA is missing. And the indemnification clauses are not in the artist's best interest.
An outstanding piece of reporting and advocacy. And why does it surprise no one that JC's public art contract is an opaque, exploitive mess? Meanwhile Mayor Fulop's response to the whole imbroglio is to post on the FaceBook that "public art is important!" as if merely saying so would make it true.
So my question is..does Heather feel that this is this a learning curve for the artists? or for the city? or both? As an actor, I've learned the hard way that you have to make sure everything is spelled out quite clearly in a contract. EVERY last detail.
Heather mentions VARA. How familiar are artists, like the ones being commissioned by the City, with their rights? That's a legitimate question and not trying to be snarky~!

EFL Championship 2016/17

Brighton 1-0 up against Villa, so that gives them the title at the moment.
Forest missed a penalty that would have made it secure.
Forest seal it. 3-0.
Mr Do 71
dr_manhattan^
Now if you had told Villa fans at the start of the season that the league title would be presented at Villa Park....
Blackburn should've had a penalty just now.
Would be harsh on Blackburn to go down on goal difference.
Now Blackburn get a penalty, and Brentford down to 10.
1 - 3!
So, Blackburn need two more or Bristol to score?
I never thought I would be wanting good things to happen for 'Arry Redknapp.
No feelings either way for Blackburn, but I wouldn't be too upset to see Blues drop
Wolves win! \o/
Villa deny Brighton the title!
Late Villa goal gives Newcastle the title
Full time at Forest and Brentford. Forest safe.
Blackburn down, Newcastle Champions.
Two teams finishing with 90+ points is amazing.
Mixed day for Shearer.
Blackburn down.
How did Brighton fuck the title up?!
Only needed 3 points from 3 games.
Unlucky for Blackburn, 2 goals difference has to hurt.

Had a good points total too! It's always horrible for a fan in those circumstances. I'm glad it's them and not us though.
I'm surprised Brighton didn't turn Villa over. We played them the other week and although we lost they were shambolic. They were just fortunate we were coming back off such a bad period.
Second bottle job in a row for the Seagulls. Big mistake from the goalie.
Lucky it didn't cost them more but it's becoming a habit.
BitterToad
Got my ticket for the home leg of the playoffs vs Reading. They're probably the team at the bottom of my "who would I want Fulham to face in the playoffs" list, but I'm going to go along and have a bloody belter of a day regardless. Jokanovic T Shirt is on its way, and I'm very excited for the big day!
Naysonymous
Villa had been on the beach since they drew at Burton which basically ended any slim hopes of a playoff spot, we played well against Brighton yesterday and probably deserved a point. For all the talk of Brighton bottling it, I'm not sure they will care in August when they kick off in the Premier League. Maybe they got drunk on promotion, but it's largely irrelevant because they achieved their goal this season.
Also, getting 93 points and not winning the league is pretty harsh, that can't happen too often.
Rsdio
Think of poor Tranmere in the Conference, 95 points but no autos.
We've ended the season pretty dreadfully, for various reasons. I'm not sure how much momentum matters though really, the three times we've won playoffs we've gone in with poor to middling form and the time we hit them in the middle of a massive league unbeaten run we got twatted in the final. Third favourites with the bookies is probably right and I'll be surprised if we get past Wednesday, they've got a very impressive squad on paper and are strong and aggressive which is what we often struggle against. They've nullified us twice this season and seem very suited to that job. In a one-off game anything can happen but over two legs they'll be strong favourites. Nothing to lose for us now though!
I have a sneaky feeling it'll be Reading going up.

I can't see it myself, we still have games where we play utter shite and get a hammering, so I can't see us playing well for three games on the bounce.
Also it's the playoffs.
As a Reading fan, I have seen us lose three times in finals and twice more in the semi-finals, including once of course to you guys back in 2002, if I remember correctly.

I was there, both legs, best feeling I've ever had at football when that Alex Rae goal went in at your place.
I felt bad for you in the 94/95 final against Bolton, 4-3 wasn't it?
26 minutes ago, dr_manhattan^ said:
Once Nicky Forster got injured in the first leg, it was really over for us, as that season Alan Pardew had built the whole team around him and never came up with a plan B, for when he was injured.
Yes, it was 4-3 in the end, we were 2-0 up at half time, and we missed a penalty to take us to 3-0.
The only time I have seen Reading win in a final of any sort, was in 1987 when we beat Luton Town 4-1 to lift the Simod Cup.
Ah yes, I forgot the missed penalty.
Remember the Charlton 4 - 4 Sunderland final? That was amazing, Clive Mendonka got a hat trick didn't he?
Well, a poor end to the season for Ipswich. It's been a season wrecked by inconsistency and the lack of a settled line-up.
I've defended McCarthy in the past because of his reputation for putting out solid, unbeatable teams. But that's definitely not the case this season.

Sweet triumph for Djokovic as he returns to the top in style
Serb completes convincing straight-sets victory over Anderson to claim Wimbledon crown

An eerie murmuring of the crowd took grip quite quickly in the men's Wimbledon final. It's what happens on Centre Court when the energy of optimism and possibility is sucked away, when hope is all but suffocated in the first game.
This year's Wimbledon will be forever remembered for the shadow cast on the final by the semi-final, a hothouse boom bonanza between Kevin Anderson and John Isner that lasted six hours and 36 minutes, the second longest match ever played at Wimbledon.
It undoubtedly hurt Anderson's chances of winning a first Wimbledon title. He had to consult with a podiatrist for his feet and was uncertain of how his body would react in the final, especially if the match extended out to four or five hours.
It was he said time for Wimbledon to change the rules and bring in a tiebreak in the fifth set or face more 50 game fifth sets and finalists barely fit for purpose.
"Most people I speak to I feel really find value if there was a fifth-set breaker like there is at the US Open," said Anderson. "It's really exciting. If a winner hasn't been decided at 6-all in the fifth, I don't think there's a reason to continue playing. I think a tiebreaker would be fine. That would be my reasoning."
But Novak Djokovic will take his 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(3) win over Anderson after two years in which time it was questioned whether he would ever return to the top of the sport after injury and scrutiny of his private life.
"I had many moments of doubt, I didn't know if could come back to this level to compete," said Djokovic afterwards.
"There is no better place to make a comeback, it's a sacred place for world of tennis, it's very special."
In all it took two hours and 19 minutes, a sprint to the finish line by Djokovic slowed down at the end by a last stand third set and tiebreak.
Anderson almost succeeded in extending it to a fourth set, the wonder being how he would have physically managed that. He stepped on to the court to face Djokovic having already spent 21 hours and one minute getting there, five and a half hours longer than the Serb.
The right-handed South African was the underdog regardless but having survived going two sets down and match point to Roger Federer as well as his Isner epic, he had perhaps rode his luck coming to the end of a sometimes bewildering week.
But Djokovic, now a 13 times Grand Slam champion, was again silken in movement and without demons on his shoulder.
Took charge
With wonderful speed and elasticity, he read the 130 mph plus serves and ghosting in to position picked them off on both sides.
Free of injury, the 31-year-old took charge of the match in the first game and never looked back, charging through the sets with surety and panache.
Djokovic disdainfully broke the Anderson serve, his biggest weapon, in the opening nervous game. The 32-year-old double faulted, first going long and then into the tape for 0-1. Another service break in the fifth game for 4-1 and the set was bolted. It took 29 minutes.
In the second set Djokovic again opened with threatening confidence and broke his opponent in the first game for 0-1. The fans could already hear the distant creaking as Anderson's courageous 6ft8in frame began to topple. A second break for 4-1 and the set tumbled towards Djokovic serving out for 6-2 and a 2-0 lead. By then the big server had hit just three aces.
His Grand Slam dreams were dying before his eyes. Then as if the two meek sets offered some kind of shock therapy, Anderson fist pumped and successfully energised his game in the third set.
Less cautious than Djokovic and his serves now singing he forced four set points at 6-5 much to the delight of the crowd and almost succeeded in sending the final into a fourth set.
Djokovic, who hadn't won a Grand Slam since defeating Andy Murray in the 2016 Roland Garros final, dug in and weathered the thunder and court side temperatures of over 40 degrees to force a tiebreak.
But Anderson's race was run. In the tiebreak his levels marginally dipped. That was enough of an invitation. Djokovic sped to a 5-1 lead, then gathered another point for 6-2. From having had to rescue his serve and fend off a fourth set just minutes before he had four championship points.
Anderson saved the first but his return on the Djokovic serve was unconvincing and found the middle of the net, his week finally closing. It seemed almost like merciful release.
And Djokovic, earning his fourth Wimbledon title and first Grand Slam for two years began another lease of life.
"It's easy to talk now, I had to really trust the process, I had to trust in myself," said the Wimbledon champion.
"It was a long journey, especially considering that elbow injury that took me out from the tour for six months. When I started training again, came back on the tour, played Australia, but I played with the pain.
"I did not expect to be back in the top shape already here in Wimbledon so quickly. If you asked me after Roland Garros, I would probably maybe doubt that."

The parents of a 13-year-old student who opened fire inside a classroom at his Indiana school last May said their son's attack was "unforeseeable" and denied any responsibility for his actions.
The shooter's parents were responding to a lawsuit brought by the parents of Ella Whistler, demanding damages for the injuries she suffered during the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School, located just 20 miles north of Indianapolis.
Ella and seventh-grade teacher Jason Seaman were injured when a male student walked into a science classroom with a pair of handguns on May 25.
Bullets hit Seaman three times — in the hip, abdomen and forearm — as he tackled the gunman to the ground in a bid to protect his students.
Ella was shot seven times in the attack including in the face, neck and upper chest. One gunshot also severely damaged an artery in her right arm, which had to be replaced. Doctors have informed said the teen may never fully recover the use of her arm.
In their response filed Monday, the shooter's parents rejected the claim, saying the family's damages "have been caused in whole or in part" by their son and Noblesville Schools.
The teen shooter, who was not charged as an adult, in November admitted to shooting and wounding his classmate and teacher.
Prosecutors said the boy was able to find keys to the basement safe in his family's home, unlock it and take the two handguns and ammunition. They also noted the day before the shooting that the boy filmed a video in his family's basement brandishing the firearms and threatening violence.
If the boy had been charged as an adult, he would've faced 11 counts, including attempted murder and aggravated battery. The case only would've been waived to adult court if he was accused in a killing, Hamilton County prosecutor D. Lee Buckingham said at the time.
A judge has called for the boy to remain in a secure juvenile correctional facility until he turns 18.

Currently, it is hoped that a robot, which can work together with humans or directly for humans, will be developed because of changing societal needs. Therefore, a robot environment as a human peripheral is necessary. Some of its functions must provide intimacy with humans. The main purpose of this study was to develop a robot to work with humans with the task of playing a game. We developed the robot that plays a game with a human; the robot is called GAME-ROBOT and is a human-intimate robot. Under the development conditions of, (1) human intimate robot, (2) use of existing game articles, and (3) elimination of noise and vibrations, we constructed the system of GAME-ROBOT. Its configuration includes image processing, robot mechanisms operated in space, and main processing with game process routine. After the initial development of GAMEROBOT was able to play a game with human without problems of item in the processing system.

Yosef Yechiel Mechel Lebovits (Yiddish: יוסף יחיאל מיכל לעבאוויטש) is a Hasidic rebbe and the founder of the Nikolsburg-Monsey Hasidic community.

Family

Yechiel Mechel Lebovits was born in New York to Rabbi Baruch Yehuda Lebovitz (1908 - 1951) and Yentel Schnitzler (1910 - 1976). His father Baruch was from Hajós, Hungary and helped revive Jewish life in the D.P. camps. His father's family claimed direct paternal descent from Yechiel Michel of Zlotshov (d. 1786), founder of the Zlotshov Hasidic dynasty. His mother Yentel Schnitzler (1910 - 1976) was the daughter of Shraga Shmuel Schnitzler (1889 - 1979) the Tchabe Rav of Jerusalem who was the great-grandson of Rabbi Baruch Schnitzler of Kaliv (1765 - 1820) who the Schnitzler family claim to have been the son-in-law of Shmelke of Nikolsburg (1726 - 1778) from where the Nikolsburg-Monsey community is named. However several genealogists and historians have questioned the Schnitzler connection to Horowitz. Through his mother, Lebovitz is the third-great-grandson of Yechiel Michel Auerbach (1785 - 1856) who was the grandson of Zusha of Hanipol (1718 - 1800) and the great-great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov (1698 - 1760) who founded Hasidic Judaism. Lebovits married the daughter of Eleazar Meisels, the Av Beit Din of Ihel-Chicago and a descendant of the Meisel family. His brother Baruch Lebovits passed away in 2022.

Biography
After his father's death, Lebovits' mother Yentel married Eliezer Zusia Portugal (1898 - 1982), the first Skulener Rebbe. In his early years, Lebovits studied in the Satmar Yeshiva, under the tutelage of Joel Teitelbaum (1887 - 1979) who he had private sessions with every Wednesday. Lebovits also had a close connection to the Vizhnitz Rebbe, Mordechai Hager (1922 - 2018) who named Lebovits the Nikolsburger Rebbe. At first Lebovits held court in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, later relocating to Spring Valley in Monsey, New York. The community of Nikolsburg in Monsey has a yeshiva for young adults and boys, a kollel and a beis midrash. He has also authored several works, the most notable of which is "Igeros Yechiel" which is chiddushim on all Torah subjects, including the Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, and the weekly Torah portions. He has also authored the works "Shevas Achim" and "Vzos Hamitzvah".

I'm shopping for my own home
I'm a designer, architect or builder.
Oscar Tusquets Blanca
Born in Barcelona in 1941, Oscar Tusquets Blanca, usually presents himself publicly as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation and a writer through the desire to make friends.
In other words, the prototype of the complete artist that the specialisation of the modern world has steadily driven to extinction.
He graduated as an architect in 1965 from Barcelona's Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura and was a member of Studi Per, together with Pep Bonet, Cristian Cirici, Lluís Clotet and Mireia Riera, with all of whom he set out in 1972 on the adventure of Bd, where he began his work as a designer of furniture and objects, thanks to which he has won the Spanish National Design Award and seen a number of his pieces appear in the collections of such major museums as the MoMA in New York and the Centre George Pompidou in Paris.
His professional career as a whole has been honoured with the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes [Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts], the insignia of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres [Knight of the Order of the Arts and Letters] and the Creu de Sant Jordi [Cross of Sant Jordi]. In 1994, he showed himself as an essayist with his book Más que discutible [More Than Disputable] (Tusquets Editores), which was followed by Todo es comparable [Everything is Comparable], Dios lo ve [God Sees It] and Contra la desnudez[Against Nudity] (all three titles for Editorial Anagrama). He is also the author of Dalí y otros amigos [Dalí and Other Friends] (RqueR Editorial).
