Boniek – Poland's greatest enigma
in Latest, Nostalgia, Stories
BY CHRIS LASH
My first memories of football stretch back to the 1986 World Cup. I recall having a lovely wall-chart with all the games laid out on it and, as only a six year old could do, dutifully filling in the results with a trusty black pen. Apart from the wall-chart the other thing I remember from the tournament was my dad telling me stories about the beautiful game. He told me about the prowess of the Brazilian side and the supremely gifted but inherently shady Maradona. But my father was, and still is, a stout Francophile. Therefore most of his tales revolved around the graceful Michel Platini and the exciting French side he led. By extension my dad also waxed lyrical about Platini's former partner-in-crime at Juventus, the Polish attacking midfield dynamo, Zbigniew Boniek.
Boniek is quite possibly the most talented Polish player ever, along with Górnik Zabrze's WÅ'odzimierz LubaÅ"ski and Legia Warsaw's Kazimierz Deyna. Indeed in 2004, he was the only Polish player included in Pele's FIFA 100 list. Starting out at Zawisza Bydgoszcz, 'Zibi' moved on to Widzew Łódź in 1975 leading the small club to Polish and European success and famous victories over Manchester United, Juventus and Liverpool. In 1982 Juventus paid $1.8 million for his services, at that time a colossal fee. In Turin, Zibi teamed up excellently with Platini and led Juventus to European Cup glory in 1985. He was a fan's favourite at Juve, earning the somewhat ambiguous nickname 'Bello di notte' – 'Beautiful by night' for his wonderful performances in evening fixtures. Boniek spent the last three years of his professional career in Italy with Roma.
Zibi was almost as successful on the international stage. Boniek's playing career spanned most of Poland's remarkable period at the top of the world game. Over 14 years the country won the Olympic Games and finished third in two World Cups. Boniek was most influential in the 1982 World Cup where a Polish side also containing Grzegorz Lato and WÅ'odzimierz Smolarek won a bronze medal. In a wonderful second round game against Belgium, Boniek scored a superb hat-trick. His first was a smashing shot after a cross by Lato, his second a clever headed goal. His hat-trick was the result of a wonderful team move which ended with Boniek rounding the goalkeeper, Theo Custers, and finishing with aplomb.
Zibi may have been wonderfully talented but he was also a deeply controversial figure; something highlighted in an excellent new book by Polish journalist Marek Wawrzynowski. The book Wielki Widzew' 'The Great Widzew' is, amongst other things, a character study of Boniek during his time at the Łódź club. Here, Boniek is shown to be a magician on the pitch, someone blessed with supreme belief allowing him to make the absolute most of his technical ability. Boniek set out to be the best and his steely determination made sure this was the case.
If this cock-sureness made sure he was a leader on the pitch, it also got him into some rather undignified scrapes. Wawrzynowski shows how his antics in a UEFA cup game at Manchester City provoked the Manchester side's left back, Willie Donachie, into striking out and getting sent off. We also see how Boniek got involved in one of the most famous scandals in Polish football history 'The OkÄ™cie affair.' Here amongst chaotic scenes, Boniek defended goalkeeper Józef MÅ'ynarczyk who had turned up to a flight with the national team heavily hungover. As a result of his behaviour, Boniek was suspended by the Polish Football Association (PZPN) for half a season. Wawrzynowski also relates how Zibi fought with members of his own Widzew side after he was accused of purposely missing a penalty. Boniek seemingly could not avoid being the centre of attention.
Boniek's influence on the Polish game has not diminished since finishing playing in 1988. He was Vice-President of the PZPN for several years at the turn of the millennium and the national team manager briefly in 2002. Boniek was also the President of the company which brokered broadcasting rights with Canal + for the Polish top division in 2000. Finally, in December 2012, Boniek once more found all eyes on him as he became the new President of the PZPN.
Polish football in 2013 is in a mess. There are some lovely new stadiums but the game is still plagued with poor facilities at a grass root level, a lack of openness in the way business is done and poor results on the international stage. Boniek's appointment to the highest position in the Polish game was to usher in a new age of transparency. And what better way to enter the modern age than to join Twitter? Indeed this is just what Zibi has done.
Here's where I come back in. As a child, Boniek was an exotic foreign name brought into my life by my father's stories. But no longer. Years of twisting my tongue around various unpronounceable Polish words has given me a decent level of fluency in the language. Suddenly, Boniek has become an important feature of my day. Every evening just before bed, up pop Zibi's tweets on a variety of football related subjects. Boniek, of course, took time to get used to the medium. Evidence of this were his regular tweets addressed to himself and a barrage of empty tweets. Often it seemed that the great man might actually be slightly tipsy when he sat down to connect with people. Perhaps my favourite occasion was when Zibi informed the Twitter-sphere that it was his wedding anniversary and that his wife was dutifully awaiting his trip to the marital bed. We've also seen pictures aplenty of Zibi with figures such as Mike Tyson and Alex Ferguson.
But it's not all been fun and games. Zibi has also got involved in some heated exchanges with Polish football journalists who have criticised some of his methods as PZPN president. These include Zibi's defence of misfiring striker Robert Lewandowski and the under-performing Polish national team coach Waldemar Fornalik. The frisson of tension has been especially high with Boniek's Twitter discussions with Marek Wawrzynowski and Piotr Żelazny, the producers of the book 'Wielki Widzew.' Indeed the journalists are to be praised for showing Zibi in his heyday warts and all. This comes across when they interact on Twitter. It's almost as if Boniek is saying 'Beware. I'm watching you.'
Boniek is quite possibly the greatest enigma in the Polish game. A superb player yet a rabble-rouser, the man now in charge of setting Polish football on a better path, yet someone famous for being infuriatingly inconsistent. Zibi's been the centre of attention for nigh-on forty years and it doesn't look like this will end any time soon. Zbigniew Boniek I salute you.

Can you compost dog poop? The simple answer is yes. Dogs are the greatest, but getting rid of their poop is not. Composting your dog's poop is an environmentally friendly way to keep your yard healthy and clean for your dog, your family and your environment.
Do I need to compost my dog's poop before I feed it to my garden?
Your dog may seem at home in the backyard, but their poop will needs some processing before it will be accepted back into the environment. You will definitely need to put your dog's poop through a composting process before you start feeding it to your plants. Like all animal waste, dog poop will carry bacteria in it from your dog's gut which if exposed directly to your garden may do more harm than good. Roundworms are a nasty little hazard commonly found in dog poop.
Can I compost Dog Poop? Is it safe?
Dog Poop compost is safe to use on most plants, but should not used on anything you plan to eat. This is a precaution should any harmful bacteria survive through the composting process. The key to ensuring that your dog's poop has been properly composted is making sure that the waste is reaching the correcting temperature whilst composting. The higher the temperature, the more bacteria is killed off during the composting process.
Some experts including the University of Florida recommend that your compost needs to reach at least 140 degrees F in order to kill off Roundworm, which is one of the toughest bacteria to get rid off.
What can I use dog poop compost for?
Dog Poop can make a great compost for ornamental gardens, flowers and shrubs. Like all animal manures, make sure that these areas of your garden are well away from where people may tread particularly playing children and pregnant women who may be more susceptible to bugs and germs.
Ornamental flower beds will love your new compost.
As I mentioned earlier, monitoring the temperature of your compost is key to creating the healthiest and cleanest mixture for your garden. this can easily be achieved by regularly checking your compost with a long stemmed thermometer. In colder parts of the world consider getting a composting container with better walls for insulation, so that the heat from the compost may be trapped inside the vessel and work more quickly and effectively in killing harmful bacteria.
Adding some Septic Tank starter will help speed up the process. You can find this on Amazon.
Turning your dog poop into compost requires the addition of another substance to accelerate the process and help kill off the bugs. Some methods recommend Septic Starter, which is especially designed for breaking down excrement and promoting good bacteria growth. Other options may include sawdust or other natural green matter ( lawn clippings, fruit scraps) both which assist in the production of enzymes to aid the biodegrading process.
what is the best dog poop composter?
There are plenty of decent composters around, and if you are on a tight budget or are particularly crafty you can even build your own.
The Doggie Dooley tank is discreet and keeps your garden clean.
The Doggie Dooley is a like a neat little septic tank for your pets. It's a small discreet container you can bury in your backyard, and with the luxury of a foot operated lid to avoid you having to get any more down and dirty than you already have with your dog's droppings. Doggie Dooley also offer their own brand of "Waste Terminator" Septic solution to help break down the poop. The Doggie Dooley comes in two different sizes, the smaller size being able to accommodate 2 large dogs or 4 small dogs depending on your needs.
The Four Paws Waste Manager is another popular pet waste solution. It functions in a similar way to the Doggie Dooley, but is sold in a kit that comes with it's own enzyme tablets to help you get started. Its patented lid is also designed to collect rainwater, which helps speed up the poop breakdown process.
Managing your pet's waste in a sustainable way doesn't need to be a chore, and if you have other pets around the home you may consider looking for similar methods of disposing of their poop as well. Hopefully by following some of these helpful tips you will be able to keep your best friend and your garden happy, healthy and green!

Paul Oliver is an architect. He was teaching for a number of years at the Architectural Association in London (in charge of art and history before heading the Graduate School), and then at Dartington College of Art (as Head of the Department of Art and Design) before taking up his present post as Associate Head of the Department of Architecture at Oxford Polytechnic. Here he also leads a research project with Ian Davis on post-disaster housing in earthquake-prone areas in Turkey, together with the Middle East Technical University in Ankara. He is author of a number of books on shelter: "Shelter In Society", "Shelter In Africa" and "Sign & Symbol".
He has also designed a number of exhibitions for the UK Arts Council: "African shelter", "English Cottages & Small Farmhouses" and "The Village Green".
Paul Oliver is particularly interested in simple techniques and the rational use of natural materials. Having spent much time travelling in Africa, the Middle East, America and other parts of the world, he has come to respect the work of those who build with available resources. Earth is one of the oldest and cheapest of building materials, and it has a continuing future once its vulnerability to earthquakes shock, seismic tremor, erosion, salts and chemicals can be overcome. In his talk, he discusses the problems and current solutions.


Bahrain-based Sarens Nass Middle East W.L.L group, a specialist in crane services and heavy lifting, has ordered 15 new Demag AC 130-5 all terrain cranes from manufacturer Terex. The order came just after Sarens, from the head office in Belgium, ordered 18 new Demag all terrain cranes in February.
The five-axle Demag AC 130-5 has a 60 metre boom and can reach a maximum system length of 86.5 m with additional main boom extensions. For road travel the total length of the crane is 14.3 m and it is 2.75 m wide.
"The name Demag has always stood for quality in our group. Furthermore, Terex Cranes understands our needs and can provide tailored solutions when and where necessary," added Ludo Sarens, Sarens president.


Last month, Oceana submitted a proposal aimed at reducing the amount of wasted catch in New England and Mid-Atlantic gillnet fisheries, which throw away 16 percent of their total catch every year. The Northeast gillnet fisheries were identified in Oceana's Wasted Catch report as one of the nine most wasteful fisheries in the United States as a result of their bycatch.
"Improvement in this fishery is long overdue. Gillnets catch any and all fish and ocean wildlife that swims through, and many of these animals are left to drown, die and rot in the nets without ever being accounted for," Oceana fisheries campaign manager Gib Brogan said in a news release.
Gillnets are an unselective method of fishing, catching anything that's too big to fit through the small holes in the nets, including dolphins, porpoises, and seals. Under current regulations, some fishermen can use more than eight miles of netting at one time and these nets can be left in the water for weeks to months at a time.
Oceana recently sent a letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the two regional Fishery Management Councils that oversee the Mid-Atlantic and New England gillnet fisheries, urging the councils to change gillnet use in the region. The suggested changes include reducing the net length, decreasing the amount of time gillnets are left in the water, and ensuring accurate monitoring of the fisheries, among others.

Ivica Todorić (Kloštar Ivanić, 2. siječnja 1951.), hrvatski je poduzetnik i bivši predsjednik Uprave koncerna Agrokor – najveće privatne tvrtke u Hrvatskoj i jedne od vodećih tvrtki u jugoistočnoj Europi. Agrokorova poslovna aktivnost obuhvaća tri glavne djelatnosti: poljoprivredu, prehrambenu industriju, te maloprodaju; koncern zapošljava više od 58 tisuća radnika i ima prihode od preko 42 milijarde kuna (2016.).

Nakon što je poslovna, a potom i šira javnost postajala sve svjesnija da je Agrokor u vrlo teškim poslovnim problemima, početkom travnja 2017. godine godine počelo se govoriti o propasti tog Todorićevog životnog projekta. Dana 10. travnja 2017. godine su državne vlasti Republike Hrvatske preuzele upravljanje koncernom. Todorić je nekoliko mjeseci kasnije suočen s velikim izgledima da bude podvrgnut kaznenom progonu zbog navodnih nepravilnosti u vođenju Agrokora, te sa svoje strane optužuje vrh državne vlasti da mu je u kriminalnoj zavjeri oteo koncern.

Život

Ivica Todorić rođen je 1951. godine. Djetinjstvo je proveo na farmi u Božjakovini. Upisom u osnovnu školu vraća se u Zagreb, gdje je studirao i diplomirao na Ekonomskom fakultetu. Govori njemački jezik.

Ivičin otac Ante Todorić bio je visokopozicionirani rukovodilac u gospodarstvu Socijalističke Republike Hrvatske, te je od 1963. godine bio generalni direktor Agrokombinata, tada jednog od vodećih poduzeća u Jugoslaviji; bio je i saborski zastupnik, te predsjednik saborskog odbora za poljoprivredu. Međutim je 1971. godine bio Ante Todorić zbog velike pronevjere osuđen na višegodišnju zatvorsku kaznu. Kako je kažnjavanje Ante Todorića koincidiralo s progonom sudionika Hrvatskog proljeća, nagađalo se da su možda njegov domoljubiv stav i vezanost uz neke "nacionalističke" predvodnike Saveza komunista Hrvatske bili u svezi s njegovim procesuiranjem; što Ante Todorić nije ni potvrđivao ni opovrgavao.

Ivica Todorić je 1976. godine pokrenuo privatnu proizvodnju i trgovinu cvijećem. Sjeća se da mu je trebalo nekoliko godina da kupi prvi kombi; do tada je robu prevozio "VW Bubom". Posao sredinom osamdesetih počinje širiti na uvoz i izvoz žitarica, uljarica, voća i povrća, a 1989. godine registrira se Agrokor kao dioničko društvo u 100%-tnom vlasništvu Ivice Todorića. Početkom 1990.-ih ima snage da uđe u ozbiljne investicije, te je 1993. godine u novinskom intervjuu izjavio da je u tadašnju "pretvorbu i privatizaciju" ranijih socijalističkih poduzeća uložio oko 15 milijuna maraka. Akvizicijom i daljnjim razvojem kompanija za poljoprivredu, proizvodnju hrane i maloprodaju, Agrokor izrasta u jednu od vodećih regionalnih kompanija. Koncern danas čine vodeći proizvođači hrane i pića te najveći hrvatski lanac maloprodaje "Konzum"; također i "Tisak", koji obavlja utjecajnu djelatnost distribucije tiskanih medija putem novinskih kioska.

Ivica Todorić jedan je od osnivača i prvi predsjednik Hrvatske udruge poslodavaca koja je osnovana 1993. godine. Kontinuirano je podržavao humanitarne, kulturne, znanstvene, ekološke, obrazovne, sportske i druge projekte.

S njegovim odlaskom s čelnog mjesta Agrokora, on postaje središnja figura mnogih kontroverzi u Hrvatskoj i šire.

Obitelj
Oženjen je Vesnom Bašić-Todorić i otac je troje djece – kćeri Ive te dvaju sinova – Ante i Ivana, s kojima je do posrnuća koncerna "Agrokor" živio u Zagrebu.

Karijera

Nakon studija ekonomije, počinje 1976. godini s obitelji uzgajati cvijeće i trgovati cvijećem. Nakon nekoliko godina obitelj Todorić je - kako se navodi - držala 40 % trgovine cvijeća u SFRJ. Uz to su trgovali i voćem i povrćem. U 1989. godini se Agrokor registrirao kao dioničko društvo s Ivicom Todorićem kao stopostotnim vlasnikom.

Nakon raspada SFRJ u 1992. godini je Todorić proširio svoje poslovanje te kupuje proizvođača mineralne vode Jamnicu. Godinu dana kasnije kupuje proizvođača jestivog ulja Zvijezda. U 1994. godini nastavlja s proširivanjem te kupuje Ledo, Unikonzum, Bobis, silos Mlinove (Vinkovci), solanu na Pagu, hotel Opera (bivši Inter-Continental) te osniva "Kreditnu banku Zagreb". Godine 2005. kupuje najvećeg prerađivača mesa PIK Vrbovec te Belje, najvećeg proizvođača u hrvatskom poljodjelstvu.

S ciljem da se postane tržišni lider u jugoistočnoj regiji Europe, tijekom godina kupuje razne tvrtke iz područja prehrambene industrije i distribucije na području Mađarske, Srbije, Slovenije, BiH i Crne Gore.

Kontroverze

1992. godine Zagrebačka banka plaća šest milijuna DM-a (tri milijuna eura) Agrokoru za kupnju kukuruza i pšenice iz Osijeka i Kutjeva, koji su bili zamišljeni kao državne zalihe. Međutim je Todorić izvozio pšenicu, devize prodao INA-i i državne zalihe naknadno i djelomično punio pšenicom iz Srbije. U istoj toj godini je "Zagrebačka banka" odobrila Todoriću kredit u iznosu od 80 milijuna DM-a za kupnju pšenice. Kasnije se saznalo da 48,9 milijuna DM-a nije potrošio na pšenicu nego nenamjenski, za što mu banka inače ne bi izdala kredit.

1993. godine direktor konkurentskog Dalmacijacommercea Nikola Barač je podigao kaznenu prijavu protiv Todorića, zbog navodnih nezakonitosti oko odobravanja povoljnog kredita za organizaciju otkupa kukuruza. Barač je izjavljivao da mu Agrokor predstavlja nelojalnu konkurenciju, zbog povlaštenih uvjeta financiranja kreditima koji su imali trostruko manju kamatu od onih koje su mogla dobiti konkurentska poduzeća.

2016. godine u javnosti je predstavljen dokumentarni film Darija Juričanina "Gazda", u kojemu se cjelokupni poslovni uspjeh Ivice Todorića prikazuje kao moralno i zakonski upitan i u suštini nepošten.

U rujnu 2017. Ivica Todorić otvorio je osobnu internetsku stranicu preko koje je odlučio komunicirati s javnosti. U prvom priopćenju najavljuje tužbu protiv države i objavu relevantnih dokumenata kojima će razotkriti spregu politike, privatnih interesa čelnika investicijskih fondova i važnih ljudi iz samog Agrokora.

Q: MobileFirst and Ionic Push notification callback I have an Ionic project and I added a push notification callback handler as explained in official documentation (my expectation is to have some alert when inside the app and a notification arrive), but it is never invoked.
  WL.Client.Push.registerEventSourceCallback(
            "myPush",
            "PushAdapter",
            "PushEventSource",
            pushNotificationReceived);

Here the question is where I have to place the pushNotificationReceived function to be called ? I try in index.js and inside the controller as a function, but I do not have success.
Thank for help

A: Have you reviewed the sample application for push notifications?.
The sample demonstrates implementation of push notifications APIs. https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/notifications/push-notifications-overview/push-notifications-in-hybrid-applications/event-source-notifications-in-hybrid-applications/
See the supplied main.js file: https://github.com/MobileFirst-Platform-Developer-Center/EventSourceNotifications/blob/release71/apps/HybridEventSource/common/js/main.js

A: You have to include callback function in ionic inside the app.js file after "Successfully connected with mobile first server".
     WLAuthorizationManager.obtainAccessToken().then(
            function (response) {
              //alert("successfully obtained a token from the server");
                MFPPush.initialize (
                   function(successResponse) {
                       //alert("Successfully intialized");
                        MFPPush.registerNotificationsCallback(notificationReceived);
                   },
                   function(failureResponse) {
                        console.log("Failed to initialize");
                   }
                );
                MFPPush.isPushSupported (
                    function(successResponse) {
                       //alert("Push Supported: " + successResponse);
                    },
                    function(failureResponse) {
                        console.log("Failed to get push support status");
                    }
                );
                MFPPush.registerDevice(
                    function(successResponse) {
                        //alert("Successfully registered");
                    },
                    function(failureResponse) {
                        console.log("Failed to register");
                    }
                );
                function notificationReceived(message) {
                    alert(JSON.stringify(message.alert));
                }
         },
         function(response) {
            //alert("res"+JSON.stringify(response));
            console.log("Unable to obtain a token from the server: " +            JSON.stringify(response));
            if(JSON.stringify(response.status) ==  403){
                 console.log("The Application is disabled on this Device");
                 ionic.Platform.exitApp();
            }
        }

How to Draw a Poinsettia
Easy, step by step Poinsettia drawing tutorial
What is a poinsettia? This plant is a shrub native to Mexico and Central America. Ancient Aztecs used the plant to make red dye and medicines. In its indigenous climate, poinsettias often grow ten feet tall. The potted varieties sold elsewhere during the holiday season remain much smaller.
Did you know? The brightly colored portion of the poinsettia isn't a flower at all. It is actually a bract, a leaf-like structure located beneath the flower. The flowers of the poinsettia are the tiny yellow blossoms at the center of the larger red "flower.
How did a tropical plant come to be associated with the Christmas holiday in colder regions? Legend has it that in the 1500s, a young girl was too poor to afford a gift for the "birthday" of Jesus. She collected flowering weeds from alongside the road and placed them in front of the church altar. Poinsettia flowers grew from the weeds. Today, the flower's shape is said to represent the star that led the astrologers to Jesus in Bethlehem, and the red color his shed blood.
Would you like to draw a poinsettia flower? Doing so is easy with the help of this simple, step-by-step drawing guide. All you will need is a pencil, pen, or marker, and a sheet of paper. You may also wish to use crayons or colored pencils to shade your finished drawing.

Step by Step Instructions for Drawing a Poinsettia
Poinsettia drawing - step 1
1. Begin by drawing a cluster of small circles. The circles may differ in size and be arranged in an irregular pattern. This forms the center of the flower.
2. Begin to draw petals extending from the flower's center. For each petal, use two curved lines, meeting in a point on each end. The petals may differ in size.
3. Continue drawing petals, using two curved lines for each, until you complete the circuit around the flower. Don't forget to fill in any gaps with additional petals.
4. Draw larger petals emerging from behind the original petals. Again, use long, curved lines that meet in a point at the petal's tip.

5. Continue to draw large petals, overlapping one another and emerging from behind the original ring of petals.
6. Complete the circuit of large petals, using two curved lines for each. Look for any empty spots among the existing petals, and draw additional petals if necessary.
7. Add detail to your flower by drawing a vein in each petal. To draw the central vein, extend a slightly curved line from the base of each petal to its tip.
8. Begin to draw the poinsettia's jagged leaves. The leaves should be shaped roughly the same as the petals; the difference lies in the use of several short, curved lines, rather than a single line, forming each side. Allow the short lines to meet in points, forming "C" shaped indentations between each point. Complete the leaf by extending a central vein from its base to its tip.

9. Continue drawing leaves until they emerge from all sides of the flower. For each leaf, use many short, curved lines that meet in jagged points, and a long line for the central vein.

Bradley: Now We're Gelling
Defender says Pompey are growing as a team
Pompey have suffered an inconsistent start to the season.
But two victories and a draw in the past week have shown that they are beginning to move in the right direction.
Jed Wallace scored his fourth goal of the season as the Blues came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Plymouth.
And Sonny Bradley believes that Pompey's new signings are finally starting to click.
He said: "We've come away with a point and I suppose it's been a good week with two wins and a draw.
"I think that shows we're growing as a team and all getting used to playing alongside each other.
"Plymouth played with three at the back and two up top – that's something we hadn't come up against this season.
"The first 20 minutes were just about getting used to that, but once we looked good once we sorted that out.
"There was a mistake from Yassin Moutaouakil which led to their goal, but it was good to get back on level terms by half-time.
"He has has held his hand up and said sorry for the error, so we accept that and have to move on."
Bradley is starting to form a solid partnership with Bondz N'Gala at the heart of Pompey's defence.
But it was an individual at the other end of the pitch who caught the centre-back's eye at Home Park.
He said: "How Patrick Agyemang didn't get man-of-the-match for his performance is beyond me. I thought he looked extremely good."

Be Quick or Be Dead är en låt och en singel av det brittiska heavy metal bandet Iron Maiden släppt den 13 april 1992 som den första singeln från albumet Fear of the Dark. Låten är skriven av sångaren Bruce Dickinson och gitarristen Janick Gers. På omslaget syns maskoten Eddie som stryper Robert Maxwell, en finansman som under den tiden var inblandad i en finanskris och som sedan dog under mystiska förhållanden. Låten är precis som Holy Smoke, en politisk låt.

Låten handlar om korruptionen inom demokratin och hur folk försöker tjäna pengar på den. Hur man måste vara snabb i sina beslut när man arbetar med personer som bara gör avtal och tjänar pengar för sin egen skull. Själva titeln till låten är tagen från ett Bibelcitat och har inget att göra med låten. I den här låten har Bruce Dickinson en raspigare röst än vad han haft under tidigare album. Namnet har antagligen tagits från en fras ur bibeln.

På singeln finns son vanligt två B-sidor. Den första är en skämtsång som heter Nodding Donkey Bluese skriven av Iron Maiden. Det är en blandning av Heavy metal och blues. Låten handlar om en enormt tjock kvinna som finns på en bar någonstans. Hela låten förklarar hur tjock och ful hon är.

Den andra B-sidan är en cover på en låt av Montrose som fanns på deras självtitlade album från 1973.

Moreover, if baseless accusations are supported by government bureaucrats as a result of sloppy work and/or erring on the side of warning, the waste turns into exponentially more vital: state motion is introduced (either in felony or juvenile court docket), public attorneys are appointed to signify the accused, and Guardian Ad Litems are appointed to signify the children.

Home / Blog / Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism is one of the popular series of Mahayana Buddhism and is especially practiced widely in Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Bhutan, Kalmykia and certain regions of Himalayan regions of Nepal and India.
Tibetan Buddhism is one of the popular series of Mahayana Buddhism and is especially practiced widely in Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Bhutan, Kalmykia and certain regions of Himalayan regions of Nepal and India. Tibetan Buddhism is the body of Buddhist religious doctrines. Tibetan Buddhism is also known as Lamaism and is the form of Mahayana Buddhism and is believed to be developed in the 7th Century CE. Tibetan Buddhism is declared as the state religion of Bhutan. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition is gaining popularity to many western countries.
The Tibetan Buddhism comprises the philosophy of Madhyamika and Yogacara , Tantric symbolic rituals, the shamanistic features of Bon religion and Theravadin discipline. Tibetan Buddhism is based on the teachings of three major vehicles of Buddhism: Mahayana, the Foundational Vehicle, and Vajrayana. Tibetan Buddhism is most well known to the world through the existence of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama is the exiled spiritual and political leader of Tibet. In 1989, The 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his lifelong advocacy for Tibetans inside and outside the Tibet.
In Mahayana Buddhism, one's goal to achieve the Enlightenment of Buddhahood so that they can help and guide all sentient being to attain the state of Enlightenment. It is believed that the motivation behind this is the Bodhicitta mind of Enlightenment, who become enlightened for the sake of helping and guiding all sentient beings. And Tibetan Buddhism teaches methods which included the Vajrayana path in Mahayana for the purpose of achieving Buddhahood.
The first significant event that occurred in the history of Tibetan Buddhism was during the 7th Century (c. 641). But it is found in some texts that certain Buddhist scriptures were arrived in Southern Tibet in early 173 AD from India. During the reign of King Songtsen Gampo, he unified Tibet and married two Buddhist wives (Princess Wencheng from China, and Princess Bhrikuti Devi from Nepal). Princess Bhrikuti Devi is known as Bal-mo-bza' Khri-btsun, Bhelsa Tritsun and Khri b tsun and is believed to be the incarnation of Tara. According to Tibetan Tradition, Bhrikuti was a devout Buddhist and brought many sacred images and texts and expert Nepali craftsmen as a part of a dowry. The Red Palace of Marpo Ri in Lhasa was originally constructed by Nepali craftsmen under Bhrikuti wishes. King Songtsen Gampo then made Buddhism, a state religion of Tibet and constructed 108 Buddhist temples in the region and also constructed Jokhang Temple to house the Buddha statues.
The most important in Tibetan Buddhism history that took place was when the great Tantric Padmasambhava of India arrived in Tibet in 774. It was Padmasambhava (popularly known as Guru Rinpoche) who merged Tantric Buddhism with the local religion Bon, which has been in the conflict with the Buddhism religion started by King Songtsen Gampo, to form a new tradition we now recognize as Tibetan Buddhism. One of the oldest Tibetan school, Nyingma, from which all the other Tibetan Buddhism schools were derived, was established by Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava had a great influence on Tibetan Buddhism and he wrote many Tibetan scriptures for the future monks.
General Methods of Practice
Tibetan Buddhism comprises various methods of practicing Buddhism and they are as follows:
The method of Oral transmission is one of the most used in Tibetan Buddhism. Oral Transmission is especially done by lineage holder of Tibetan Buddhism and it take place in small groups or mass gatherings of listener.
2. Devotion to a Guru
The Tibetan Buddhist is called a lama. And in Tibetan Buddhism as well as other Buddhist tradition, devotion to a guru or teacher (lama in Tibetan Buddhism) is highly prized.
3. Approach to Vajrayana
Vajrayana tradition is practiced by most of Tibetan Buddhism since Tibetans believed that Vajrayana is the fastest method to attain Buddhahood.
Schools of Tibetan Buddhism
The four main schools that teach the Tibetan Buddhism are:
‹Nyingma is also known as Schools of the Ancients. It is the oldest Tibetan Buddhist school established in Tibet and second largest after Geluk Tibetan School. This school is based on the teaching of Padmasambhava since he is referred as the "Second Buddha". The Nyingma School uses a distinctive doctrine which is called Dzogchen ("Great Perfection").
It is the smallest Tibetan Buddhist school compared to other three schools. It is named after the word Sakya ("Gray Earth") monastery in the southern Tibet. The Sakyapa School had great influence during 13 and 14th Centuries.
Kagyu is the third largest Tibetan Buddhist school in the Tibet. The meaning of Kagyu is Oral Transmission School.
Gelug
Gelug is the largest Tibetan School but is the youngest school among the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Gelug School can be interpreted as School of Virtuous and also called Yellow Hats.
"Dalai Lama"
The Dalai Lama is the head of one of the most important and dominant school of Tibetan Buddhism, The Gelug (Yellow Hats) School. The Dalai Lama is believed to be the successor or manifestations of Avalokiteshvara . The current Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso and he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. The unique characteristics of Dalai Lama are its system of reincarnating lamas.
"The Jokhang Temple"
The Jokhang Temple is first Buddhist temple in Tibet which is located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa. For most Tibetans, the Jokhang temple is the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. It is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is probably most popular tourist attraction in Lhasa.

Olympic Jayhawks Return To Lawrence
After three weeks and one Gold Medal, the Jayhawks have returned to campus.
The University of Kansas sent seven former Jayhawks to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, to compete in the Games of the XXXI Olympiad.
The athletes represented four countries—Kyle Clemons, Mason Finley and Andrea Geubelle represented the USA; Liana Salazar and Ingrid Vidal represented Colombia; Zainab Sanni represented Nigeria, and Daina Levy represented Jamaica—and two sports—Vidal and Salazar played soccer, and the other five ran track and field events.
When four of them—Clemons, Finley, Geubelle and Levy—returned to their residence in Lawrence, several agreed Rio De Janeiro was amazing.
"It was crazy out there. You've got athletes from all over the world there in one place," Clemons said. "Everyone is in one place, and [they all] have one goal. It's a surreal feeling."
"I thought one of the coolest things was getting in the ring and walking into the stadium," Mason Finley, who threw shot put for Team USA, said. "There's so many people; it's kind of intimidating, and then I saw my mom and my sister and my girlfriend right next to my coach. It was comforting." Finley made the Olympic Final, but did not medal.
"The people were so excited to be holding such a big event there," Andrea Geubelle, who ran triple jump for Team USA, said. "They were super welcoming to all of us. Inside the stadium, everyone was really excited to see us. We absolutely loved getting into the culture and really getting to know the people and taste all the food."
Every Jayhawk was a first-time Olympian in 2016, and many said they learned something in Rio.
"Any place you go, no matter where it is, you're going to learn something different," Daina Levy, who threw hammer for Jamaica, said. "More about people than the landscape or the country itself. For me, it was just about the people and how amazing Brazilian culture actually is."
"One of the biggest learning experiences was that I belonged on that stage," Geubelle said. "Having the opportunity to compete against [the best athletes in the world] taught me a lot."
The only Jayhawk to medal at the Games was Clemons, who ran in the 4X400 race for USA. He ran third leg in the qualifying heat to place USA in the final; he did not, however, run in the final.
"Because I got sick at the trials, I knew going into it there was a strong possibility that I may just get to run in the first round," Clemons said. "Honestly, just being able to run track at the Olympics was truly a blessing and an honor. Second round, I was just there to root for my team."
The other three Jayhawks said they are even more motivated to succeed in future Olympics.
"I grabbed a Rio flag, and I'm working on this kind of shrine thing at my house," Finley said. "I have my Rio flag and my bib number and my jersey. I guess that's going to be on my wall, so every time I wake up, it's just motivation. But there's not medal on there."
For now, the dust has settled on their Olympic experience, and life has returned to normal.
"I'm just trying to move into my apartment," Levy said.

23:11 New Interior Minister promises better crisis management
Crisis management will be one of the core tasks of the Interior Ministry, the new Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan told reporters on Friday.

Rakušan was the first new minister to be invested after President Miloš Zeman appointed the new government.
"We come to the Interior Ministry at a time when Covid is not behind us," Rakušan said. "We, the government, are faced with a major task: crisis management which in the past two years has gone beyond legal definition. New bodies have been built such as the Government Council for Health Risks and others."

"I want to establish a tradition like the American presidents, who always leave a message [to their successor]. I wrote a letter to Prime Minister Fiala, "Babiš said, adding that he did not intend to publish it.

Yet leaders have apparently been unable to reach agreement on either subject; Babiš said he was "sorry that my last (European) Council ended like this". Babiš noted, however, that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had previously promised to include nuclear power as well as gas on the list of viable energies to replace coal.

Media Controversy erupts over Czech radio appointment
More than 300 Czech radio employees have called on Managing Director René Zavoral to quash the appointment of Jitka Obzinová as head of the radio station's news department. Critics say Obzinová manipulated news and lacked impartiality in his previous role as news director at TV Prima.
Obzinová allegedly imposed an anti-immigrant approach to reporting illegal immigration on TV Prima.

Zavoral said he would assess employee complaints; Czech National Committee of International Press Institute and Endowment Fund for Independent Journalism called on Director General to resign
Climate change The Czech Republic is among the ten worst CO2 emitters in Europe
A study by the Dublin-based emissions monitoring start-up Carbon Space found that ten countries are responsible for 92% of Europe's carbon footprint. One of the ten incriminated countries is the Czech Republic, in ninth place for total emissions and third place for per capita emissions.
Germany emits the most CO2 of all European countries, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy and France. But a different picture emerges when we assess the level of emissions per inhabitant: on this criterion, Belgium comes first, followed by the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The survey results come as Europe grapples with an energy crisis leading to price hikes and supplier bankruptcies.
czech cinema Karlovy Vary Film Festival deepens cooperation with online streamer

The acquisition of the company by the KVIFF Group will see content related to a special project in Karlovy Vary, which kicked off this summer as part of the festival. The shareholders of the festival seek to diversify its portfolio; Beyond the festival itself which will take place next year at the beginning of July, an online video library will be created allowing experiences outside the limits of the annual event.

NBC's renewed love for Saturday Night Live is heading to the Emmys. The network has tapped "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che to host the 2018 telecast.
The network hasn't had an SNL personality host the kudocast since Eddie Murphy back in 1983, instead relying recently on late-night hosts — like most every other awards show.
"NBC is thrilled to be the home of this year's Emmy Awards, and with Colin and Michael in the driver's seat as hosts, along with surprise appearances by other castmembers of Saturday Night Live, I think we are in for one of the funniest awards shows in a long time," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said Thursday in a statement.

It's certainly a timely move for the network. SNL continues to enjoy a cultural renaissance thanks to the current political climate. Its 2016-17 season, which tackled the presidential election and its fallout, marked the first time in decades that the show nabbed an Emmy for best variety show. SNL is hardly a stranger to the Emmys, though, as it is the most nominated TV series of all time.
Added NBC Entertainment alternative and reality group president Paul Telegdy, "We're proud of our deep comedy roster at NBC, and Michael and Colin — along with the return of king of comedy producer Lorne Michaels — will make this the must-see comedy event of the year."
NBC is clearly hoping it can goose the Emmys' ratings with a return to Monday for the Sept. 17 ceremony. The move, which keeps it from interrupting or running against coverage of Sunday Night Football, worked out surprisingly well when the network last did it in 2004. (Instead of September, that one aired in August before the NFL season began.)
The Television Academy and the broadcast networks are said to still be hammering out details for the next rights deal for the annual telecast. It is expected to return to the four-network rotation when the current contract expires with this year's ceremony.
Che and Jost previously received Emmy nominations for their work as co-head writers on SNL. They took over "Weekend Update" in 2014.
"We're proud to be the first duo hosting the Emmys since Jenna Elfman and David Hyde Pierce," said Jost and Che in a statement, "and somehow that's a real fact."

The launch of Apple News looks set to upset potential publishers if initial reaction to the service's terms and conditions is anything to go by.
Bloggers have complained that they have been spammed by Apple with an email inviting them to join the service. Nothing wrong with that (aside from the unsolicited correspondence), you might say, but the problem is, complainants grumble, that acceptance of terms and conditions is assumed unless individuals actively opt out.
Again, this is not entirely unusual, but one of the terms makes for interesting reading. "If we receive a legal claim about your RSS content, we will tell you so that you can resolve the issue, including indemnifying Apple if Apple is included in the claim". But this is not the only clause that has raised the ire of bloggers.
Would-be publishers also find that they automatically agree to allow Apple to display ads next their content without any payment being made. As well as missing out financially, bloggers also have no control over which ads are associated with their content. The BBC reports that some bloggers are concerned that "they would be bound by the agreement perhaps without ever having seen it or actively consenting to it".
What is perhaps more worrying for content creators is that Apple will simply go ahead and repurpose online articles unless specifically told not to.
"If you do not want Apple to include your RSS feeds in News, reply NO to this email and we will remove your RSS feeds."
"First, I want everybody to know about the ridiculous stunt Apple is trying to pull here. I'd have been perfectly happy if they had just sent me an e-mail saying they were going to include my feed, and if I didn't like it I could e-mail to opt out. I'd even be happy if they didn't even give the option to opt out! After all, having an RSS feed in the first place is an implict opt-in to that sort of thing.
Apple is yet to issue a statement about the complaints.

Agriculture's contribution to the economy is small but its environmental impact significant. Between 1990 and 2004 farming's contribution to GDP and employment almost halved to 0.8% and 1.8% respectively by 2004 (Figure 3.29.1). Farming generates both environmental costs, calculated at approximately GBP 1 450 (EUR 2 100) million annually (2003 prices), and benefits, estimated at about GBP 1 230 (EUR 1 780) million annually, around 0.13% and 0.11% respectively of GDP in 2003 [1, 2, 3]. The agricultural sector has been contracting. The volume of farm production declined by over 8% during the period 1990-92 to 2002-04, together with a reduction in the volume of purchased farm input use, including –6% for pesticides, –13% for inorganic nitrogen fertilisers, –19% for inorganic phosphate fertilisers, and –24% for direct on-farm energy consumption (Figures 3.29.2 and 3.29.3). Grazing livestock is the dominant sub-sector, with livestock farming accounting for two-thirds of agricultural land use, with much of the rest under arable crops, largely concentrated in Central and Eastern England [4, 5].

The drop in SSD NVMe prices means the miniature storage sticks are becoming increasingly accessible. Even the super-fast Samsung 960 EVO 500GB model, with speeds of 3,200 MB/s, recently dipped below $150 to make room for its successor. Sizing up the market, Western Digital is aiming its upcoming WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSDs at those on a budget. The new 500GB stick packs around half the read and write speeds of Samsung's 960 Evo (1,700MB/s and 1,450MB/s respectively) but, at $78, costs roughly half the price.
It's also three-times faster than WD's SATA SSD, making it ideal for 4K video editing and storage, according to the company. And now that the likes of NVIDIA and camera-maker RED are starting to introduce 8K editing to the masses, even high-end video producers may want to give it a look. Of course, 4K clips can hog a lot of storage, so it's handy to have low-cost options when shopping around for an SSD upgrade.
Cheaper still is the new 250GB model, which costs $55. There's no confirmed release date as yet for the duo. Meanwhile, gamers chasing more storage and higher speeds can turn to WD's pricier Black 3D NVMe (unveiled last year) which packs a 1TB model with 3,470 MB/s for $280.
