Beyond those simple facts, Krawks are quite a mystery. Krawks can never be created the normal way; they're a "restricted" pet, making them even rarer than "limited edition" pets, which are released at certain points throughout the year. Their rarity makes them a popular goal for users; just owning one will give you quite a bit of prestige, and owning a Krawk is required for a rare avatar to boot. So if you're looking to acquire one for yourself, you've taken a good first step by reading this article. Let's take a look at how to get one of these great pets.
First we'll start with the most traditional way. If you attach a Krawk petpet to one of your current pets and visit the hidden Fungus Cave, you'll be able to turn it into a full-grown pet. Don't forget, if you have the maximum number of pets (4) you won't get this option! (If you do have four pets already, don't worry; you can still get a Krawk pet; just skip down to the options later in the article to find out how.) You'll also have to rename your Krawk petpet to something that is not already taken by another neopet before you'll be able to turn it into one. You can check availability by typing the name into the sidebar and seeing if any pets are currently named that. To change your petpet's name, go to your quick reference page (available by clicking on your pet's name in the top right corner of any neopets web page) and click on your petpet. Fill in the petpet name box with your choice.
Oh, and if you're looking for the Fungus Cave, you might want to visit Krawk Island. Still can't find it? Look a little closer... you should see something that would hint at a cave full of fungus.
One last word of caution: the petpet lab ray can turn a petpet into a Krawk, but you will not be able to turn it into a full grown Krawk and if you unattach it, it will revert back to its original species and color.
You may have heard of magical plushies before. They look like perfectly normal plushies, but have "magical" at the beginning of their item name. When a pet plays with one, they are transformed into a pet of the same color and species as the plushie. The plushie loses its magical properties at the same time and becomes a regular item. Since the toy transforms one of your current pets, you can get a Krawk through this method even if you already have four pets. Four different Magical Krawk Plushies are available: Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue. They restock at the Plushie Shop, but again, are extremely rare and it's doubtful you'll be able to restock one. They're also unbuyable, so you'll waste a lot of time if you try looking on the Shop Wizard. Search at the Auction House or Trading Post if you want to take this route, but keep in mind you may not be able to find one at any given time and they'll fetch a pretty penny... er... neopoint.
Morphing potions come in a wide variety of colors and species. When you feed one to your pet, it becomes the color and species of the potion. (Keep in mind that the item disappears afterwards!) Since one of your existing pets undergoes the transformation, this is another option for users who already have the maximum number of pets. Four different kinds are available for Krawks: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Transmogrification, which will turn your pet into a Mutant version of a Krawk. Morphing Potions restock at the magical shop run by Kauvara, but again, many other users will be trying to buy any Krawk Morphing Potions that appear, so don't count on restocking one yourself. Luckily, Morphing Potions are much more likely to be available at the Trading Post and Auction House than Magical Plushies or the actual Krawk petpet. The Transmogrification potion is the cheapest way to get a Krawk at about 2.5 million neopoints, while the other colors will be priced at around 3 million and above. The Mutant appearance may make you less inclined to take the cheapest route, but keep in mind you can always paint your new Krawk later.
I've left this option to last because it's the most unreliable method for getting a Krawk pet. If you're wondering what exactly the lab ray is, it's attained by getting all nine pieces of the Secret Laboratory Map (NOTE: NOT pieces of the petpet version!). Once a user has all nine pieces, they can go to the Treasure Maps game in the games room and put the whole thing together. They will then have access to the lab ray. The different pieces vary a lot in price, but a whole set will put you back around 600, 000 - 700, 000 neopoints. Buying the pieces individually from shops is the cheapest way to get all nine, but you can find entire sets on the Trading Post. (If you're curious, the pieces are given out randomly to users through random events; they're not restocked at shops.) Once a user has access to the ray, they can zap one of their pets once a day. It can raise and lower stats, change a pet's color and gender, and it has about a 5% chance of changing a pet's species. So, there is a possibility that your pet can get turned into a Krawk, but keep in mind there are over 50 species of neopets! The chances of it turning your pet into a Krawk any time soon are very slim.
Well, that's all the options you've got for getting yourself your very own Krawk pet. I wish you luck in your venture to own the elusive winner of the wooden spoon award!

Behavioral Ecology is a science that strives to explain the evolution of animal behavior in response to diverse ecological pressures. To this end, it fuses the disciplines of Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Evolution. A common thread in Behavioral Ecology is that behavior is studied in the natural context with a focus on the adaptive significance of a behavior or, more comprehensively, a suite of behaviors that comprise a behavioral strategy. Most recently, Behavioral Ecology has enjoyed rapid progress due to the integration of the once disparate fields of Ecological Physiology, Molecular Ecology, Neuroendocrinology, and Genomics.
Over the duration of this course we will examine a wide variety of behaviors across a wide range of taxa. In keeping with the true spirit of the Chincoteague Bay Field Station, you will spend half the course outdoors in an attempt to observe animals in their natural habitat. In the field, we will frequently examine organisms that call the bays, shorelines, and salt marshes their home. In the classroom, we will build a foundation for understanding the evolution of behaviors involved in foraging, resource defense, cooperation, mating, and parenting, and we will delve into the complexities of group living and communication. After taking this course you will possess an increased ability to observe, document, and quantify animal behavior in the wild and enjoy a keener understanding of why animals do the things they do.
Field trips will include excursions to the beaches of Wallops Island, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and Savage Neck Dunes Nature Preserve. We will use kayaks to enter the marshes of the Chincoteague Bay and cypress swamps of the Pocomoke River, and the CBFS monitor boats to explore the Bay's eelgrass beds, mudflats, and marshes. We will also take hikes through inland oak and pine forests. Our focal animals will include both vertebrates (e.g., birds, fish) and invertebrates (e.g., crabs, tiger beetles).
Nearly half of this course will involve field trips. The goal of these outings is to provide you with opportunities and guidance to develop your ability to observe, document, and quantify animal behavior in the wild. Most trips will occur rain or shine, hot or cold, and you are expected to be prepared, which includes wearing appropriate clothing, having proper gear, and being well rested. Come ready to participate. A positive attitude, flexibility, and real effort are necessities for getting the most out of these trips.

Snowdrop opens new independent living shop in Cardiff
Mark Halliday
Portfolio Development Executive
Snowdrop Independent Living has opened a new mobility aid showroom in Cardiff. Taking over Hearing and Mobility's Cardiff branch. Located on Merthyr Road in Whitchurch, the shop will retain its existing staff and knowledge while benefitting from Snowdrop's twenty years of customer and industry expertise and manufacturer relationships.
Since starting as a single showroom in 1999, Snowdrop has expanded to cover all South Wales, with branches in Haverfordwest, Swansea and Penarth. In that time the company has developed a deep understanding of its South Wales customers, and understands the needs and challenges of local people living with chronic illness, injury, or simply the challenges that can come with advancing age. 2019 has been an exciting year for Snowdrop, with founder Peter O'Shea retiring and a new management team taking over to enrich and develop the business. The takeover of Hearing and Mobility's Whitchurch store marks Snowdrop's first acquisition under the new Management team.
Kevin Bounds, chairman, said, "Whitchurch is an exciting addition to our retail branch structure and is further evidence of our intention to increase our presence in Wales through targeted expansion. The team at Whitchurch fit perfectly with our core value of helping our customers live happier and more independent lives."
Managing director David Morgan said, "I'm delighted to be able to welcome the team in Whitchurch to Snowdrop and feel that they will add even more skills to our Snowdrop family."
Mark Halliday, Portfolio Development Executive for the Development Bank of Wales said: "David and the team at Snowdrop have worked hard since their successful management buyout earlier this year. The opening of their Cardiff store in Whitchurch village is testament to that. They have safeguarded jobs and ensured a valuable service remains available to customers who need mobility aids and assistive technology. It's been a pleasure supporting them as they get ready for the opening of the Whitchurch store. We're looking forward to a positive on-going partnership as Snowdrop continues to grow."

Real Canoe Natación Club ist ein Sportverein aus der spanischen Hauptstadt Madrid, mit Abteilungen für Schwimmsport, Wasserball, Wasserspringen, Synchronschwimmen, Basketball und Rugby Union.

Geschichte
Canoe Natación Club wurde am 8. Oktober 1931 als Fusion der beiden Sportvereine Canoë Club, ein von Bergsportlern ein Jahr zuvor ins Leben gerufener Klub, und Club Natación Atlético, mit Hauptaugenmerk auf den Schwimmsport, gegründet. Im Laufe der Jahre öffnete sich der Verein auch anderen Sportarten, so wurde im Jahr 1940 die Basketballsektion gegründet und 1963 folgte Rugby Union.

Die Wasserballmannschaft von Real Canoe konnte als bislang einziges Team von außerhalb Kataloniens die spanische Meisterschaft gewinnen. Sowohl 1998/99 als auch 1999/2000 holte Real Canoe den Titel.

Das Basketballteam der Herren spielte von 1958 bis 1965 in der ersten Spielklasse. Die Mannschaft der Damen konnte von 1983/84 bis 1985/86 drei Mal in Folge die spanische Meisterschaft gewinnen und eroberte zudem im Jahr 1996 den spanischen Pokal.

Auf eine besonders erfolgreiche Geschichte kann die Rugbysektion zurückblicken. Mit fünf Titeln in der spanischen Meisterschaft und zehn Pokalsiegen zählt sie zu den erfolgreichsten Teams Spaniens. Seit 2005 firmiert die Profimannschaft unter dem Namen Canoe Rugby Club Pozuelo Madrid, oder kurz CRC Madrid.

Im November 1988 wurde dem Verein von König Juan Carlos I. der Titel Real (spanisch für königlich) verliehen.

Error i get : Error:(1, 1) java: module JavaFX reads package java.awt from both java.desktop and java.datatransfer
How to resolve this problem?

A: Just had the same problem. According to This IDEA Support Thread it may be somewhat of a red herring error message. It looks like the module file is actually correct (even though intellij takes you there), yet the problem is actually because IDEA adds a compiler parameter with all the alt-enter's we did (we all do it...).
If you navigate to settings -> Build, execution, deployment -> compiler -> Java compiler and look towards the bottom, you will see that its has added and --exports of awt from datatransfer to the module, as shown in the image below:

Simple remove this and awt is only read from desktop.
I understand this problem isnt the most in depth explanation of whats going on, so if anyone would like to elaborate it would be mush appriciated.

PM: Officials who perform duties in the ATO area cannot obtain a military operation member status
Information and Communication Department of the Secretariat of the CMU
"Each Ukrainian soldier who fights for his country must obtain a combatant status, as provided by law. But it is inadmissible when government officials, after spending several hours in the anti-terrorist operation area, get the combatant status", said the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk at a Government meeting on Wednesday, January 14.
The Prime Minister instructed Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko and Minister of Justice of Ukraine Pavlo Petrenko to prepare the appropriate amendments to the law, "He who defended the country with weapons in hands is an anti-terrorist operation member and, accordingly, a combatant. Whoever has fulfilled his duty as a civil servant in the area of the ATO and was commissioned by the Government as a public officer cannot be an ATO member".
Arseniy Yatsenyuk called unacceptable that deputy Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities Dmitro Isayenko "received an anti-terrorist operation member status, including on the purpose to avoid lustration".
The PM has introduced a proposal to dismiss deputy Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities Dmitro Isayenko from his post.
The Head of Government instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine "to investigate the fact of obtaining the status of the ATO member by the respective former official". He appealed to all members of the Cabinet of Ministers "to very carefully study all the materials that go through the Commission and to encourage to work with the Commission mass media and community members", "To ensure the one who has the right could receive the combatant certificate, and who has no right – should not even go to the Commission to obtain the certificate".

The trouble here is that in its central, most crucial scene, [Elie Wiesel's book] Night isn't historically true, and at least two other important episodes are almost certainly fiction ... Wiesel made things up, in a way that his many subsequent detractors could identify as not untypical of his modus operandi: grasping with deft assurance what people important to his future would want to hear and, by the same token, would not want to hear ... In Wiesel's eyes, as in the eyes of his disciples, Night assumed a level of sacrosanctity, next in importance to the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai ... Although the Nobel committee extolled him as a "messenger to mankind" it is difficult to find examples of Wiesel sending any message on behalf of those victimized by the policies of the United States, and virtually impossible when it comes to victims of Israel.
Note: Wiesel, the proven liar, was honored with a standing ovation by the United States congress.
Saudi Arabia's King could have his Crown Prince son replaced to restore the credibility of the monarchy amid turmoil over the Jamal Khashoggi murder, Britain's former defence attaché to the kingdom has claimed.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has faced claims he may have been behind the death of the journalist who went missing after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Saudi Arabia first denied any role in Khashoggi's disappearance before blaming his October 2 death on a botched attempt to return him to the kingdom.
As the Crown Prince battles to contain the fallout from the killing, Saudi prosecutors said today that the murder was pre-planned and suspects were being interrogated.
IF this assessment proves true, at would absolutely corroborate what WRH has been suggesting that this was an "inside job", courtesy of "malice in the palace",because others in the Royal Family did not feel that their right to succession was duly considered, when the King appointed MbS as crown prince.
This will play itself out in private, and the House of Saud never wants other countries (or its own citizens) aware of how it handles such family feuds.
DynCorp has had an unsavory reputation for doing things like this in the past; let us hope that there will be a penalty severe enough (like the executives who signed off on this treatment of translators doing hard time in jail) may be enough from preventing such actions in the future.
Martin Lowcock, a word, please.
Because the Saudis and their US allies have blockaded Yemeni ports, the aid you describe will never be allowed to be delivered; that's just the first hard reality here.
You have to understand; from the Saudi perspective, the more Yemeni children assassinated; malnourished, and water-sickened who die under this siege, the happier the House of Saud is with this death and destruction: that is the second hard reality with which you will have to deal.
Folks, I know that there has been a great deal of attention placed on the assassination of Khashoggi recently. But where were the US politicians when these horrific war crimes against the Yemeni people were, and are continuing to be, perpetrated?!?
They have been no where; and why?!? Because our country's Merchant of Death in Chief, President Trump, believes that the bomb sales this country has done, plus other weapons of war we have sold the Saudis are "good for business."
Economically, of course, he is quite right; people don't want to buy GMO-laced food, or products that break down one day after the product warranty expires, which is pretty much all we have to offer; except for the bombs and bullets we make reasonably well (next to those of China and Russia, of course), and supply them to the highest bidders.
I wish I did not live in a country whose government commits war crimes with impunity, and I wish, by making people aware enough of these war crimes, some peaceful, and reasonable change in the status of how this government does business, and with whom, might happen.
But that is going to take a national movement, which represents us all, for real change to invigorate a national dialogue which is way above party skirmishes; I sincerely hope that this can be accomplished.
Note: There is more, much more, the IDF killed 9 people including an American citizen on the flotilla to Gaza. Had enough yet!
Less than a month after Germany authorized a shipment of arms to Saudi Arabia and several of its allies, in violation of an arms-sales ban approved by lawmakers from the country's ruling coalition earlier this year, Germany has once again decided to "punish" the Saudis by putting future arms shipments on hold pending the results of an investigation into the death of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
In late September, Germany violated its promise not to supply Saudi Arabia with arms and instead approved a 416.4 million euros ($477 billion) shipment to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan. Though German economy minister Peter Altmair wrote a letter to parliament members explaining why Germany's government had approved the sales, the decision was still heavily criticized by the country's opposition, per Bloomberg.
Expect for this sound and fury against the Saudi government to dwindle in the coming weeks.
Countries selling them weapons with which they assassinate Houthi rebels, will ultimately feel the need to feed their economic "fix" of the money Saudi Arabia pays for their weapons from the UK, Germany, and the United States.
No matter how ridiculous the concept of a 60 year old guy getting into a "fistfight" with a number of Saudi intel people is, it will ultimately the narrative which the Saudis will "successfully sell",. particularly to those countries selling them weapons, like the US.
So many Wall Street CEOs and other titans of investing and industry have pulled out of next week's "Davos in the Desert" conference that even the Ritz-Carlton, owner of the Riyadh venue hosting the conference (as it did last year), has been slammed by human rights groups over its continued support for Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and his brutal regime. In perhaps the biggest blow to the conference's clout, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has opted not to attend, eve as President Trump has insisted that Saudi Arabia's story about the circumstances surrounding the (now confirmed) death of critical journalist (and former government insider) Jamal Khashoggi is "credible". To deflect blame away from MbS, the Saudi leadership has orchestrated a purge of the country's senior intelligence apparatus and arrested 18 other Saudi nationals for their "involvement" in orchestrating and carrying out the killing.
This response reminds me of a line from the Gilbert & Sullivan Operetta, "The Mikado", where the principal states: "I'm very sorry, but it's an unjust world, and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances."
And in the coming weeks, we will continue to see the "theatrical performances" of countries and corporations kowtowing to the Saudi royal family and their minions, all for the sake of the money they represent; no crime too horrific, no horrors too excessive, that's just fine!!
And Saudi Arabia will be allowed explain every criminal offensive and repulsive thing that they have done, with the most utterly illogical way possible, like the excuse that Khashoggi died in a fistfight, and the Saudi royal family will expect the rest of the world to collectively swallow this codswallop, as though it were the nectar of the gods.
And we swallow; because... that's the cost of doing business with these people.
And we will continue to see the US-government-enabled Saudi war against the Houthi rebels in Yemen continue as though it is the most normal thing in the world, because for the US Merchants of Death, and their Merchant of Death in Chief, Donald Trump, war is good for business. After all, who do the Saudis buy their weapons from?!?
Well, folks, here is a birdseye view of this war from the Yemeni side (caution: painfully graphic images): and if you loose your lunch upon viewing these images, good; that means that there is some degree of humanity left in you.
But we are so addicted to Saudi oil and Saudi money, we can turn our heads away from horrors this country inflicts on its own people, and the people of other countries, and just collectively shrug our shoulders and simply say to ourselves, "it's just the cost of doing business with these people".
Even if the Saudi monarchy or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in particular did not murder journalist Jamal Khashoggi, that regime is an especially evil one in both its domestic and international conduct. To see that, one need only consider the horrendous Saudi war against the people of Yemen, which has been backed by the U.S. government since Barack Obama was in office. That war, with its merciless killing of defenseless thousands, spread of disease, and inevitable benefits to al-Qaeda, is just the latest in a series Saudi atrocities.
Saudi Prince Khalid Bin Abdullah Al-Saud has called for a military campaign against Kuwait, sparking a wave of criticism and calls not to meddle in others' internal affairs.
Al-Saud wrote on Twitter: "Kuwait needs [a] new 'Operation Decisive Storm' to purge it from the dirt of [the Muslim] Brotherhood and the supporters of Hamads [the Qatari ruling family"
"He will be given free rein to do what he likes...>>>"
The Palestinian Authority (PA)'s ex-Security Chief Mohammed Dahlan arranged for US mercenaries to carry out targeted assassinations in Yemen on behalf of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The deal emerged yesterday after the founder of the security firm hired by Dahlan – Hungarian-Israeli security contractor Abraham Golan – gave an interview to Buzzfeed News in which he detailed the elaborate details of the arrangement.
Extrajudicial assassinations are non-Constitutional. I don't care how much the legal eagles around President Obama wanted to spin these as legally justifiable in US law, but these hits are not.
The country of Yemen has not attacked us; they have done nothing to cause any distress to the American people. But because President Obama was so close to the Saudi royal family, which wants to see every man woman and child in Yemen dead, he ordered the hit, and ordered it in precisely this manner.
And having these mercs hired by a private firm, so that "plausible deniability" can be created, covering the US and it's military, does not make this right, either.
Targeted assassinations, ultimately ordered by a foreign government, to be carried out by private mercs, consisting of former US military?!?
That was the way Obama loved to do this things; as covertly as possible, and "discouraging" news outlets from covering them at all.
The "cool factor" in his persona, was purely manufactured; and the damage he did, both to this country's reputation, and his personal reputation, will continue to linger and fester for a long time to come.
That, my friends, was the reality under the "Obama Years" in the White House; extrajudicial assassinations overseas, all wrapped up in a pretty American flag.
And by not standing up against this genocide, and simply accepting it as "the cost of doing business, because of the huge profits US weapons sales the military industrial complex is making from their sales to the Saudis", every single one of our alleged Congressional representatives are telling us that We the People do not matter; it's only the huge corporations, which "purchase" them though contributions to their campaigns, which do.
I have to wonder what a forensic audit of all of our Congressional Representatives would reveal, as to who has pocketed the most from the military industrial complex; if that were allowed to happen, I think we'd all be collectively gobsmacked by the numbers.
Ms. Grande is obviously naive enough to believe that the war will stop, just upon the wails and screams of various human rights organisations and NGOs around the world.
What she refuses to understand, is that this is precisely the outcome the Butcher of Yemen (aka, Prince Mohammed bin Salman) wishes to see happen.
I think of another way of putting it is "Victory by Attrition", which means the Butcher doesn't care HOW the people of Yemen die, he just wants them to die, either by starvation; direct bombing runs; destroying the water infrastructure; and poisoning Yemeni people with potentially weaponized cholera.
And the Unhinged, Surveilled State of Amerika, lead by its Merchant of Death in Chief, is doing everything it can do, particularly selling him arms with which to massacre as many children, women, and medically fragile elderly as possible.
THIS, friends, is why the "Khasshogi Incident" will be forgotten; anything which gets in the way of selling American weapons will be obliviated, as I believe you will see in the coming days, possibly as soon as the end of the week.
That's why Pompeo is headed Riyadh this week, President Trump says Mike Pompeo going to Saudi Arabia this Week to "stategize conformities" as to how this assassination will be spun, and to not let one scintilla of logic, or real evidence, dare to rear its ugly head, to combat the soon to be well-crafted spinning of this story.
A ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Army and popular Houthi Ansarullah movement has hit a gathering of Saudi-backed militants in Sana'a province, the country's Military Information Center said on Sunday.
The Zelzal-2 missile was fired at a military base in the Harib area of Nihm District early Sunday, "precisely" hitting its target.
"A number of militias were killed or injured and some of their military vehicles were destroyed in the missile attack," the Military Information Center said.
The missile attack came a day after Saudi warplanes targeted two buses in the town of Jabal Rass in Yemen's al-Hudaidah Province.
JIZAN, SAUDI ARABIA — The media branch of Yemen's Ansar Allah military released footage on Friday showing the moment that strategic Saudi military locations were captured in the eastern al-Doud mountains and al-Reqa'h military bases deep inside of Saudi Arabia. The bases are located in the southwestern region of Jizan, some 900 kilometers (559 miles) south of the Saudi capital of Riyadh. Saudi Arabia has not yet commented on the recent attacks.
IF, in fact, these reports are true, I would bet you that you won't see anything from the US corporate presstitutes about how this Yemeni militia, adapting a very different strategy than what they have used before, managed to infiltrate critical pieces of infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
One has to wonder; is the House of Saud (and their American cohorts) losing their grip in their attempted genocide in Yemen?!? Only time will tell.
The Saudi-led coalition has not yet commented on the attack, which occurred during an increase in coalition airstrikes on the residential area of Hajjah and other provinces — strikes that have killed and injured more than 50 civilians over the past 72 hours in the strategic Red Sea port.
Please note: these Saudi attacks, enabled by the US military, were attacking civilian areas; not military targets. But of course, the Butcher of Yemen, AKA Prince Salman and his minions, will argue until they are blue in the face, that killing civilians, particularly infants, children, women, and the medically fragile elderly, is completely justified, under a tortured logic that is most difficult to understand by us mere mortals.
I would like to politely remind President Trump that collective punishment of a people is a war crime; by enabling the Saudi slaughter in this genocide, the US government has chosen to become a war criminal.
As long as I can breathe, as a Christian pacifist activist, I will continue to peacefully witness to this slaughter in Yemen, and hold my government accountable for its horrific involvement, and enabling, which has caused the fighting to go on long after it should have ended, via a diplomatic solution.
Of course, our Merchant of Death in Chief, President Trump, doesn't want this to happen, because it would put a huge dent in the profits of those members of the military industrial complex who are selling these weapons to the Saudis like hotcakes, and ... we just cannot do this, can we Mr. President?!?
So the war grinds on... the sales are completed... and we will continue to see thousands more Yemeni deaths that We the People, personally, and morally, have a moral obligation, peacefully, and logically, to attempt to stop.
Branson did the right thing, and I applaud his decision.
But I sincerely wish he had done it for the right reason, and that would be to turn the world's attention to the slaughter of innocents in Yemen, in which the US military and government is aiding and abetting the Saudi military in their war crimes. Warning: very graphic images.
Images: Yemeni children dead and maimed for life, due to Saudi bombings.
US Secretary of State Secretary Mike Pompeo must address concerns regarding his approval of military aid to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, seven senators said in a letter.
"We are skeptical a certification that the two Governments have undertaken demonstrable actions to reduce the harm to civilians is warranted when the Saudi coalition has failed to adopt some US recommendations while civilian deaths and casualties due to coalition airstrikes have increased dramatically in recent months," the letter said on Wednesday. The lawmakers called on Pompeo to hand over data on the increase in civilian casualties, among other requests, by October 31.
Last month, despite a UN report that accused the Saudi-led coalition of being responsible for some 16,000 deaths in Yemen, Pompeo certified to Congress that the coalition was limiting civilian casualties in the conflict, paving the way for more US military aid.
Two days after Netanyahu said Putin understands the territory's importance for Israel, Russian FM says any change of status would violate UN resolution.
The Yemeni military announced on Sunday the deployment of additional army troops, consisting of Sudanese servicemen and supporting the Saudi-led coalition, in the vicinity of the embattled Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, controlled by the Houthi militants, also known as Ansar Allah movement.
"The aim of the arrived Sudanese servicemen will be to reinforce troops already deployed there in order to fully liberate the territories which remain under the Houthis' control," the military said in a statement.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said his country will not pay Washington for its own security, saying his oil-rich kingdom was created even before the US itself.
Last week, US President Donald Trump said the Saudi King would not last for two weeks in power without US military support.
"So you cannot have 100 per cent friends saying good things about you, even in your family. You will have some misunderstandings. So we put that in that category," he said.
The Crown Prince said Riyadh has paid for all weapons bought from the US.
Take, for example, his absolute disingenuous statements on the war against Yemen, which he actually gave the order to start, after the Houthis overthrew the al-Hadi government in 2015.
This horrific war, which has cost thousands of Yemeni lives to date, and will probably cost thousands more, could be stopped in a heartbeat, if the Saudi government were actually committed to a negotiated settlement; but the Saudi government wants complete capitulation on the part of both the Houthis, and the Yemeni people. And I will warn you: the images below are very graphic, but honest depictions of what the cost of this war has been to the Yemeni people.
"A delegation from Yemen's former government has left UN-brokered talks in Geneva after representatives of the Houthi movement were prevented by Saudi Arabia from attending the negotiations."
If the Houthis were not present, there was truly no one with whom the Saudis could negotiate.
Saudi soldiers continue to to murder and maim infants, children, women, and the medically fragile elderly, and bomb schools and hospitals with impunity.
With port blockades, accomplished through US help, they are preventing food aid from coming in at all, so much of the population is malnourished to the point of death. With the coming takeover of the Hodeida port, which looks to be happening soon, this will cut off nearly all of the food for famished innocents.
And finally, there has been an epidemic of cholera, courtesy of Saudi military having thoroughly destroyed all the water infrastructure in Yemen ( using a possibly weaponized strain, as was done by the American military during World War II) which has run rampant, and is, as of yet, completely uncontrolled.
If we do nothing, and say nothing, we, too, are complicit in these war crimes.
And so I ask my brother and sister Americans, in the most peaceful, logical way possible, to advocate for the US government withdrawing all its troops and supplies who, and which, have been supporting Saudi war crimes in Yemen.
The situation in Yemen has been described by human rights officials as one of the worst, ongoing catastrophes of the 21st century; I would politely suggest that the US not continue to enable these war Saudi war crimes here.
I am sure that, because of the circumstances of his birth, into one of the most monied, and aristocratic families on the face of this earth, that Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, has been awarded many honorifics in terms of his titles.
But I would hope that he understands fully, that "the one" which will stick, after he has passed, and at the top of the list after this genocide in Yemen is finally over, is that of "The Butcher of Yemen".
Several months into the invasion of the Yemeni aid port of Hodeidah, the forces loyal to the United Arab Emirates have been escalating dramatically, looking to gain ground faster in an effort to seize the nation's largest aid port.
Hodeidah is estimated to import food aid for about 70% of Yemen, and fighting has at this point effectively cut off traffic to an from the city. Promises by the Saudis for a humanitarian corridor haven't been followed through on so far, and that means no one is getting food.
This has happened before in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, with Saudi naval blockades regularly cutting the nation off from food imports for weeks at a time. Fighting could drag on much longer, however, and that could mean mass starvation, particularly in northern Yemen.
This... is precisely the objective of the B.O.Y. (a.k.a. the Butcher of Yemen, also known as Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman), and one of his BFFs in the Middle East, the American Merchant of Death in Chief, President Trump.
They want to leave the port as in tact as humanly possible, in order to control it fully, and starve the Yemeni people into submission.
Yemenis have intensified their counterattacks against the Saudi-led coalition which has already escalated its offensive on the port city of Hudaydah over the past weeks. Our correspondent Mohamed Al-Atab has made a tour of Hudaydah and filed this report on the growing national resilience of the city's people against the Saudi-led war and blockade.
Yemen's cholera outbreak - the worst in the world - is accelerating again, with roughly 10,000 suspected cases now reported per week, the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO) showed on Tuesday.
Saudi-backed forces are reporting heavy fighting in and around the vital aid port of Hodeidah, in northwestern Yemen. Reports suggest that over 60 were killed in the course of the day's clashes, with 54 of them Shi'ite Houthis.
Fighting initially focused on some of the rare farms around the province, and some military positions leading into the port city itself. The port is the source of food aid for about 70% of Yemen, and the lone port under the control of the Houthi movement.
Yemen imports the vast, vast majority of its food, so a protracted battle for the last Houthi port could cut off millions in Houthi territory from any food aid at all, leading to mass starvation. The Saudi-backed forces have promised to eventually open "humanitarian routes" out of the city.
"Eventually" when it comes to the Saudi foreign policy, which is engineered to starve the Houthis into submission, as they will through the control of its main port in Hodeidah, will be when pigs make the discovery that they are aerodynamic!!
And we have the following development, datelined yesterday: Hodeidah cholera cases triple after Saudi/UAE offensive.
Addressing the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child on Monday with respect to the massive civilian death toll in the Saudi invasion of Yemen, Saudi officials made rare admissions of fault, saying that they had made "mistakes" in targeting and were working hard to rectify the problem.
Saudi officials were clearly trying to use this to get a pass on the ten thousand-plus killed civilians, insisting that the internal investigations note the "mistakes," and that perpetrators will be "held to account," despite little evidence that this ever happened.
The UN committee didn't appear to be sold on this idea either, with members noting the war has been going on since 2015 with no sign of prosecutions for civilian deaths. Panel chairwoman Renate Winter noted that an awfully large number of these "mistakes" had hit the same civilian targets, with several schools and hospitals hit myriad times. She asked how many times the Saudis could possibly keep making that same mistake.
The Saudis will keep on making the "same mistake", because the B.O.Y. (the Butcher of Yemen, AKA Crown Prince Bin Salman) and his BFF in the Middle East, Amerika's Merchant of Death in Chief, President Trump, want to see as many kids, schools, and hospitals blown up as humanly possible, because they don't want future Yemenis growing up with a memory that Yemen, at one point, had both an independent history, and national trajectory other, than through Saudi control.
New data from the US Air Force shows that the refueling operation for the Saudi-led war in Yemen is continuing apace with no sign of slowing. The US has refueled Saudi warplanes attacking Yemen since April of 2015.
US involvement in the Yemen War has been extremely controversial, with Congress once again working on a bill aiming to compel the administration to stop participating. The war was never authorized by the US Congress.
Refueling is the primary US operation in Yemen, which is a particularly controversial part of the war, since Saudi airstrikes have been killing massive numbers of Yemeni civilians in the course of the war.
What is behind Qatar's shift towards Israel?
Over the past year or so, the tiny Gulf state of Qatar has been getting increasingly close to pro-Israel figures from the United States. Things are so bad that Qatar last year donated a quarter of a million dollars to some of America's mostly rabidly anti-Palestinian, hard-right Zionist organisations, including the Zionist Organisation of America, whose president Morton Klein this month slandered Palestinians in openly racist terms as "filthy Arab[s]".
A pro-Israel policy is something of a departure for the small, gas-rich emirate. Qatar has enormous amounts of natural gas under its control, which guarantees virtually unlimited economic freedom. According to Qatargas, it has the world's third-largest natural gas reserves after Russia and Iran.
At Nasr Hospital's emergency room in the Yemeni city of Daleh, a little boy struggles to breathe. He is too tired, or too hungry, to cry.
The child's body cannot retain even water, so nurses have resorted to putting him in diapers.
The boy is one of an estimated five million Yemeni children who may not see their next birthday in a war the UN children's fund has described as a "living hell" for minors.
The UN has warned that international aid agencies are losing the fight against famine in Yemen, where 3.5 million people may soon be added to the eight million Yemenis already facing starvation -- more than half of them children.
The collective punishment of a people, through assassinations, the introduction of possibly weaponized diseases, destruction of water infrastructure or malnutrition, because Yemen's ports are blockaded, are all war crimes, which the Saudis, backed by their country's Leader, one of President Trump's BFF in the Middle East, the Butcher of Yemen (sometimes also known as Prince Bin Salman).
Americans, please wake up, and quickly; your country is enabling Saudi war crimes in Yemen.
I don't know how upset you are about living in a country which supports war crimes, around the world, with utter impunity... because it can; as a Christian Pacifist Activist, who never advocates violence, I am deeply concerned about the moral price of these actions over time, because there will be a reckoning, brought about by the US government's imperial hubris which characterises these war crimes as "necessary for the greater good."
The "greater good"?!? For whom, please?!? It is not for the good of We the People; it is for the profits of Those the Monied, and the banks and corporations which, essentially, in America, bankroll presidential campaigns, and drive both foreign and domestic policy.
On Wednesday, California Democrat Ro Khanna introduced a resolution invoking the 1973 War Powers Act, declaring that Congress never authorized U.S. support for the coalition in Yemen and directing President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. troops from "hostilities" against the Houthis, the Iranian-backed rebel group at war with Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The resolution would not affect U.S. forces who are on the ground in Yemen fighting Al Qaeda.
Fragments from the bomb bear the labels of U.S. weapons manufacturers. The indefensible nature of the bombing – there were no combatants anywhere in sight – has garnered headlines and even attention on Capitol Hill, opening a new conversation about US involvement in the years-long siege of Yemen by a coalition headed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Yemeni children sick and dying by (possibly weaponized) cholera.
The US government has been complicit in aiding and abetting Saudi war crimes in Yemen, which means that WE, as citizens of this country, are also complicit, until we collectively, and peacefully, have a dialogue with our alleged representatives in Congress, and demand that this country stop aiding and abetting these war crimes in Yemen. And if your Congressional Representative is up for re-election this year, tell them that failure on their part to do this, is an election loser for them, and you are looking forward to their progress in making this happen, before the mid-terms.
Bi-Partisan House Bill Aims to Stop US Military Involvement in the Yemen War.
Please tell your Representative, calmly and peacefully, that you fully expect them to support this bill.
Hadi was installed as the Yemeni President in a US and UN-backed move after the Arab Spring. He was nominally "elected" in a vote in which he was the only allowed candidate. He was given a two-year term, starting in 2012. That has long since expired, though he maintains he is the legitimate president, and the Saudis maintain reinstalling him is the purpose of their war in Yemen.
Hadi's attempts to cling to power, and to violently crush the Shi'ite Houthis led to his initial expulsion from the country, and the Saudi-led war intends to put him back. Hadi insists that there is no point in talks with the "gangster-like" Houthis, and continues to refer back to UN Security Council resolutions from years ago calling for the Houthis to surrender all territory to Hadi.
Well, you heard it from the horse's mouth here; Al-Hadi is determined that the Saudis bring more death, starvation, disease, maiming, and pain to Yemen to "avenge" his alleged "presidency" of Yemen.
So, the Federal Government of the Unhinged, Surveilled State of Amerika, has declared that Russia and China are going to be the next "problem children" in the global community of countries?!?
After the mid-terms, were I a betting woman, I would possibly bet that there may well be a reinstitution of the Draft in this country.
Invoking the War Powers Resolution, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) joined a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers today in introducing a privileged resolution to stop US military support for Saudi Arabia's genocidal war in Yemen. US support of this war continues to fuel the world's worst humanitarian crisis, killing thousands of civilians, with millions suffering from mass starvation, famine and cholera.
US involvement in the "world's worst humanitarian crisis" – the war in Yemen – could soon come to a halt as 23 members of Congress put forward a resolution to stop troops from assisting in "unauthorized" hostilities.
US forces have been providing logistical and intelligence support to the Saudis in their military intervention in Yemen since 2015. Assistance has included aerial refueling, permitting coalition aircraft more loitering time over Yemen, and permitting some coalition members to home base aircraft rather than relocate them to Saudi Arabia.
According to the International Rescue Committee, the month of August was by far the worst of the year, with a single nine-day period leaving nearly 500 civilians killed. They noted that one third of Saudi airstrikes have hit non-military targets.
On Monday, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition attacking Yemen announced that they will open a humanitarian corridor out of the vital aid port of Hodeidah. The corridor is intended to allow aid deliveries to the capital city of Sanaa.
The decision is being done in coordination with the UN. Officials did not say when this corridor would be opened, but it would only allow travel parts of the day through certain routes. Hodeidah is the lone source of food aid for all of northern Yemen, and is estimated to feed about 70% of the entire country.
With Saudi-led forces attacking Hodeidah, and cutting off all supply routes, materially no aid is coming out of the city right now. This had led aid groups to warn that Yemen will run out of food in the next two months, leading to mass starvation.
I will believe this only when I see it happen, and not one second before it happens.
On Sep 23, Saudi Arabia and Russia said that they would not be raising crude output immediately. This was a tough response to President Trump's recent tweet where he demanded that OPEC should immediately cut prices. The Saudi oil minister said that current supplies were adequate.
On September 12, Secretary Pompeo certified to Congress that the Saudi-led coalition, which includes the United States and the United Arab Emirates are "undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure." The statement came within hours of a coalition airstrike on a bus station that left 27 civilians dead.
The coalition's strategy seems to be to seal the Houthis into Hodeida and squeeze.
Mr. Pompeo overruled concerns from most of the State Department specialists involved in the debate who were worried about the rising civilian death toll in Yemen. Those who objected included specialists in the region and in military affairs. He sided with his legislative affairs team after they argued that suspending support could undercut plans to sell more than 120,000 precision-guided missiles to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to a classified State Department memo and people familiar with the debate."
Foreign policy in this country is never about protecting "We the People"; it is about protecting the wealth of "Those the Monied", as in defence contractors, who contribute so lavishly, overtly, and covertly, to national campaigns.
If you nearly lost your breakfast in looking at this, there is still hope that you may be somewhat human. But what we need to do, on a national scale, is very peacefully, and logically, call this government out on what amounts to aiding and abetting war criminals in Saudi Arabia, in their genocide of Yemen.
In the Wikipedia article about him, I find it thoroughly astonishing that this man identifies himself as a Christian, while performing as the "Assistant Merchant of Death in Chief" for his military industrial complex buddies. Perhaps, he sees no conflict whatsoever; I have to wonder how he cannot.
On rare occasion a story is unearthed in the mainstream media which demonstrates in stunning clarity how major foreign policy decisions are really made in Washington, especially when it comes to waging perpetual war in the Middle East often under the official rhetorical guise of "protecting civilians".
These days, the governance in this country, is never about really, honestly taking care of the needs and concerns of We the People; it is about how financially morbidly obese defense corporations can squeeze more money out of wars to which the US government should have never committed our military in the bloody first place.

Proposed Guidelines for U.S. Scope 2 GHG Reduction Claims with Renewable Energy Certificates
George Sullivan, Spenser Robinson
In the United States and Canada, individual states and provinces control their consumer energy markets. Under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) definitions the "market" for market-based GHG reporting is typically defined as the state or province that maintains regulatory control or the interconnected grid where consumption occurs. Under current guidance, many systems suggest the U.S. may be considered a single grid since it is a single country. However, consumers in different regions are physically unable to consume energy generated in some other regions. This paper argues that in the U.S. and Canada, the interconnected grid where consumption occurs could initially be considered the FERC grid, and optimally the localized eGRID defined by the U.S. EPA. These definitions are important given the requirement in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed climate rule to disclose Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) impact on carbon reporting. This paper outlines the justification for the proposed interpretation and serves as a public reference for market-based GHG market boundary definitions.

The major part of the beach is covered with stone tiles, and the rest is covered with small stones and pebbles.
You can enter in the water from concrete piers where the water is deeper, or directly from the beach where the water is very shallow. Sea bottom is covered with stones, pebbles and sand.
Beach facilities: volleyball and basketball playground, shower, changing booths and a toilet.
The famous beach in Sukosan is "Dječji raj" (Children's paradise). It is partly covered with sand and pebbles, and partly covered with stone tiles.
Sunbathing and swimming is possible at almost any part of the coast. There's a pine forest near the sea (in direction toward Split), and the beach "Zlatna luka" (Golden harbuor) covered with pebbles (in direction toward Zadar).
Sea water on all beaches in Sukosan is rated as a high quality.
