The uncommon animal epidemic within the U . s . States has me overwhelmed. There has been countless tragic and frequently fatal occurrences between proprietors as well as their foreign animals. Whether these creatures live in homes or perhaps in backyard menageries, the imagine having a wild animal and raising it's short resided for a lot of. Regardless of how hard an individual attempts to replicate an outrageous animal's natural atmosphere, they'll always are unsuccessful. Proprietors realize fairly rapidly the animal they've purchased (usually with the illegal wildlife trade) isn't manageable. Sadly, this frequently leads individuals to abandon, release, euthanize or – within the best situation scenario – surrender their exotic creatures to sanctuaries.
For many, releasing their pets in to the wild appears probably the most "viable" option. Even though some proprietors taking this program might have good intentions, releasing exotic creatures in to the wild is cruel, as well as illegal. Getting been elevated by humans, these creatures have virtually no survival skills and succumb towards the harsh factors that are foreign for them. They frequently find yourself dying from exhaustion and starvation while some get hit by vehicles or wiped out by predators.
In rare cases, your pet survives when these foreign animals establish themselves in non-native environments, they become referred to as an invasive species. Based on the National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC), an invasive species could be any non-native plant, animal or virus that establishes itself within the surrounding ecosystem. Although this may appear just like a "good" alternative to another unfortunate fates former-foreign animals might meet, it may have serious implications for that greater ecosystem.
Foreign animals which do survive release and establish themselves will in the end hinder or disrupt the nearby ecosystem. Many non-native species that start to colonize a place compete for sources with native species and based on their size, victimize them. Oftentimes, invasive species that establish their dominance within an area might have irreversible effects around the local habitat. In accessory for damaging balanced environments, invasive species also harbor foreign disease and may become public safety hazards.
Florida is presently a hotbed for invasive species. The adaptable climate and vastness from the Everglades has permitted for several non-native species which were formerly stored as pets to simply acclimate towards the atmosphere.
Listed here are a couple of types of foreign animals that are presently invasive species within this temperate condition.
The Burmese python, among the largest snakes on the planet, continues to be an invasive species in Florida because the 1980s. It's strongly believed these snakes were once stored as household pets but were released in to the wild once they grew to become too large to deal with. Typically, Burmese Pythons present in Florida achieve between 6-9 ft lengthy – understandably bigger than your average pet caretaker might like. Yet, this doesn't deter misinformed consumers from purchasing these exotic creatures as pets. Since 2002, over 2,000 Burmese pythons happen to be taken off the Everglades Park. Researchers believe the pythons have the effect of a loss of the bobcat, rabbit and opossum populations.
Based on the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Red Lionfish is a direct threat to native saltwater fish in Florida because the late 1980s. It's thought that the main of today's Lionfish invasion within the Atlantic resulted from your accidental discharge of six use a fish tank in 1992. Since that time, it's thought that numerous Lionfish happen to be purposely released by "retired aquarium enthusiasts." Today, Red Lionfish happen to be recorded from the coast of Florida, all of the way up to Georgia, Sc, and New York.
Lionfish are voracious predators that pose a significant threat to bio-diversity across barrier reef regions. During these delicate environments, the development of Lionfish may cause a complete-scale collapse as Lionfish have no natural predators.
First recorded in 1966, the Eco-friendly Iguana continues to be established in Florida not less than ten years with numerous breeding populations. The Eco-friendly Iguanas aren't suspected of rivaling native species for food, as there is a vegetarian diet, but they're accountable for destroying lawns and parks.
Many people don't survive the winters in southern Florida, but individuals which do can come to be six ft lengthy. Considered an annoyance by a few residents along with a public safety hazard by others, once the Eco-friendly Iguana feels threatened, they are able to become aggressive.
Tales of invasive monkey species that took over parks and eco-friendly spaces aren't anything a new comer to many Florida residents. Oftentimes, the booming wild monkey population has turned into a major tourism draw. Regrettably, these apes can harbor zoonotic illnesses which may be passed to humans.
By Florida official's estimates, a minimum of 700 taken Rhesus Macaques tested positive for that herpes-B virus previously decade. It's believed that lots of these apes were released in to the wild following the film "Tarzan" elevated the public's passion for pet apes within the 1930s. Since that time, the amount of non-native monkey species, a few of which are popular foreign animals, has elevated tremendously over the condition.
Annually-lengthy study within the Everglades discovered that the invasive Cuban Tree Frog has seriously impacted the populace of native tree frogs in Florida. These aggressive frogs victimize native species and contend with them for habitat. Although most of the invasive frog species in Florida might have initially been introduced after being trapped inside shipping containers introduced in to the states, researchers think that our prime release rate of foreign animals within the 1980s now makes up about over 80 % of introductions.
While more awareness should be introduced towards the plight from the creatures struggling with being taken bred or offered with the uncommon animal trade, the negative impact these non-native species might have around the atmosphere upon release can also be of major concern.
The end result is these creatures never belonged as pets to start with, but irresponsible caretakers who release these pets in to the wild only add insult to injuries. Ending the invasive species problem begins with raising awareness for that uncommon animal epidemic. Even though it might appear "cool" or "unique" to possess a very beautiful pet, whenever you consider the significant effects that purchasing one of these simple creatures might have, it hardly appears worthwhile.

This is the Google Pixel and Pixel XL (Updated)
Emil Protalinski@EProEvan Blass@evleaks	 September 26, 2016 2:58 PM
It's not exactly a secret that Google will be announcing a slew of new gadgets next week at its hardware event on October 4. VentureBeat can confirm that the world will indeed be introduced to a Google Pixel (pictured above) and a Google Pixel XL (Update on September 27: pictured below).
Rumors that Google is launching two new phones later this year — codenamed Sailfish and Marlin — have been circulating for months. The smartphones are supposed to ditch the Nexus branding in favor of Pixel and be built by HTC.
Google Pixel, the smaller of the two devices, was first detailed under its Sailfish codename by Android Police in June. That report said the phone would have a 5-inch 1080p display, quad-core 2.0GHz 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 2770 mAh battery, a 12MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. The report also said users could expect a top-mounted headphone jack, a fingerprint scanner on the rear (à la Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P), and a USB-C port on the bottom. The Google Pixel XL will sport similar specs, except for a 5.5-inch QHD display and a 3450mAh battery, also according to Android Police.
You can expect these phones on Verizon in the U.S. and unlocked when purchased directly from Google, of course. Expect details for other carriers around the world to follow. Android Police expects that the smaller Google Pixel will start at $649, which would make the entry price tag more expensive than for any Nexus lineup yet. But these aren't Nexus phones. They're Pixels.

Juan Román Riquelme: the dream comes first
29/10/2018 by Omar Saleem
Illustration by Matt Steven
The number 10 was an important part of Juan Román Riquelme's life. It would be the defining number on the back of his shirt – perhaps the last number 10 the world of football would associate with the languid, classic style of mental speed ahead of physical prowess. It would also be the age when a young Román would discover that his father was a local gang member. Ten was the number that defined Riquelme; the number that made millions dream.
"Román," his mother would call out to get JR's attention. This was a time when another JR. was dominating newspaper columns around the world. JR Ewing, perhaps the most famous soap character of the 1980s, was on TV sets the world over. He was the star of Dallas. In many ways, he redefined what it meant to love something you can't touch. Two decades later, Juan Román Riquelme would do the same.
Riquelme's departure from Europe in 2007 would sever the final tie between the dream of classical football and the modern world. Modernity, travelling along the unstoppable arrow of time, would win out.
It was Argentinos Juniors who played the most pivotal role in Román's development. It was also in La Paternal, Buenos Aires, that the first comparison to Diego Maradona would be made. In reality Riquelme was nothing like Maradona. Their styles, though both undeniably effective, were poles apart. They are different characters, different dreamers. The 'New Maradona' tag may have weighed heavy on the shoulders of lesser stars but for Riquelme, it meant nothing. He knew he was different.
It was at Argentinos's famed youth academy, beautifully nicknamed "The Cradle of The Stars" that Riquelme would forge the mental aptitude and technical ingenuity to become a legend. The methods which had helped bring through the likes of Maradona, Sergio Batista and Fernando Redondo were pivotal in Román's early development. Slight of frame, shy, and suffering from chronic fatigue at an early age, Juniors' coaches helped nurture their promising youngster. A player they saw as the bright hope for the future would, however, have other plans in mind.
After River Plate were rebuffed by the boyhood Boca fan, a fee of US$800,000 was agreed between Argentinos and Boca for Román to make the move across Buenos Aires. His on-off love affair with Boca Juniors would last almost 20 years, and he would etch his name into the lengthy, heady list of club greats.
If there were tentative comparisons to Maradona before, by now Riquelme was the talk of La Bombonera. A new hero was born.
Read | Juan Román Riquelme, Mario Yepes and the greatest nutmeg ever
Success would come instantly for the naturally-gifted Argentine, his creative play between midfield and attack guiding the club to six titles, including the Copa Libertadores crown in 2000 and 2001. Though success was tangible for the fans, what couldn't be touched was the brilliance of Riquelme. His movement, control, finesse and passing was the stuff of wonder. His ability to create something from nothing rivalled that of Maradona. Despite being worlds apart in their playing style, Maradona and Riquelme sharing one innate skill: unpredictability.
Riquelme was moody and needed to be loved. He needed to be told that he was the creative star, the biggest cog in a free-flowing, fearless machine. He needed people around him doing the legwork. Much like the rest of his career, fatigue would be a constant battle for the attacking midfielder.
Throughout his time at La Bombonera he was different. For Riquelme it was never the scoring of goals that matter. He saw himself as the means to an end. In a league where attacking outlets were basing their success on stats – often to earn a lucrative move to Europe – Riquelme saw things differently. He wanted to be the chief; the man responsible for the goals. He wanted to be in control. If he turned the tap off, everyone would have to beg him to turn it back on. That was Román. His ego mattered. He was worth loving.
His return of 44 goals in 194 games for Boca between 1996 and 2002 says very little about his impact. That many of these goals were astounding works of beauty, from mazy dribbles and long-range belters to clever flicks and free-kicks, go unnoticed in the raw stats. An afternoon on YouTube cures that.
And so, with his targets achieved at Boca, and his place in the Argentina squad assured, Riquelme opted to move to Europe. Most of the big clubs on the continent circled the midfielder, who, at the time, was embroiled in personal drama after his brother was kidnapped, in the hope of landing a powerful creative outlet.
With Barcelona holding a long-term interest in their man, clearly intent on re-establishing those 'new Maradona' links, Román opted to move to the Camp Nou. For what now seems like a bargain deal, the Argentine signed on for just £9m. Europe beckoned.
Few Barcelona signings had garnered as much anticipation from the Blaugrana as Riquelme. This was a time when videos from around the world were making their way online and where the skills of exotic, South American stars were viewable, not just readable. Fans had seen their new signing in action – they'd seen the talent.
Read | Fernando Redondo: the divinity and despair of 2000
What they didn't foresee however (some probably did) was that manager Louis van Gaal was never going to be the man to get much out of Riquelme. He simply wouldn't fit into his system. Van Gaal, in his second spell at the club, quickly marginalised Román, labelling him a "political signing". Political signing or not, surely the talent was there to see.
With Riquelme needing his ego and confidence massaged, Van Gaal grew increasingly frustrated. Results were below par and there wasn't time for the club's superstar signing of the summer to make an impact. What was a dream move for Riquelme – an opportunity to earn money to pay for his mother's increasing medical bills and be satisfied that has talent was being rewarded – soon turned into a nightmare. Without being given a chance to shine, the Barcelona dream was over.
Critics rounded on the Argentine. In Buenos Aires, those opposed to his style of play had labelled him pecho frío, literally meaning cold chested, at his lack of work for the team. They claimed he would go missing in games. 'How could he possibly succeed at a club like Barça?' they asked. In some respects they were right, Riquelme's allure was based on genius and charm, but came at the expense of functionality. He was never the man to close the opposition down. He would struggle under a number of top managers today whose success has been based on the modern principles of closing space. He genius is without doubt, but the horse must still pull the cart according to many.
With his stint in Barcelona effectively ended by the signing of Ronaldinho – who took Barcelona's non-EU count over the limit – Riquelme looked for pastures new. Benito Floro, the well-travelled Spanish coach, in charge of Villarreal at the time, jumped on the chance to sign Román. He was looking for an attacking outlet and was prepared to give him the freedom and love to show the world what Barcelona were missing.
By now the Maradona comparison's had ended. Joining Román in the province of Castellón, Diego Forlán made the journey over after a tricky spell at Manchester United. Having admired Riquelme from afar during his spell at Independiente, Forlán remembers him fondly:
"I joined him there in 2005. He was a big reason for me choosing Villarreal. We'd play together in attack, him as a number 10 providing me with the balls to score. We still didn't know each other that well, but he shook my hand at training and insisted that I was eating at his place that night. He asked what food I liked. I said milanesa (a breaded meat fillet). I arrived later to milanesa and mashed potatoes cooked by Román, which only my brother's cooking could match. Román was a potato specialist.

"We clicked immediately on the pitch. We'd both had some tricky times at our previous clubs, but at Villarreal we came alive under Manuel Pellegrini, who knew us both from Argentina, where he'd managed San Lorenzo and River Plate. Riquelme would anticipate my runs and give me balls every striker would dream of. I scored from them, often.
"We didn't play football to make friends and shake hands with everyone. We played to win. He was a private, loyal man from a family of nine or 10 children. He adored his brothers and sisters. It was hard to get into his inner circle, but once you were in, you had a loyal friend."
Few players garner such lofty praise from their peers. Riquelme, wherever he want, was adored as much by those around him as those in the stands. That his critics pointed to his lack of work off the ball is ludicrous; his teammates rarely blinked. The few that did moan often had Riquelme to thank for bailing them out of games, for creating goals, for drawing opposition markers to allow others to operate in greater space.
It's easy to criticise the horse for not pulling the cart, but some horses just aren't meant for the field. They're too perfect. They belong in more refined surroundings. In his head, he must've painted a thousand pictures. Where mere mortals passed the ball, Riquelme guided it. Where other great players would shoot, he would talk to the ball, encourage it to go where he wanted. Genius is word bandied about too often. Not in this case.
Under Manuel Pellegrini, who was forging his own reputation in Europe, Riquelme grew to become the best playmaker in the world for a period of time. His performances for Argentina were becoming consistent and his time at Villarreal, not shy of controversy, was fruitful.
Despite missing a crucial penalty against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final in 2006, he had already been awarded the Most Artistic Player in Spain by Marca. He was riding the crest of a giant wave, a wave that many believed would take him to glory in the upcoming World Cup with Argentina.
Having missed the 2002 World Cup because "his head wasn't right" following the kidnap of his brother, Riquelme had to make up for lost time. In one of the better editions of the tournament in the modern era, Román demonstrated all his prodigious playmaking skill in setting Argentina up to go all the way.
Read | Pablo Aimar: the elegant magician who inspired a generation
Those who weren't able to watch Spanish football rejoiced in seeing his talent. With two assists in the first three group games, regularly pulling the strings between the lines, Riquelme was at his best. He won the Man of the Match award in the second group game against Serbia and Montenegro.
Setting up Hernán Crespo in the last-16 against Mexico, Argentina progressed courtesy of a world-class effort from the unheralded Maxi Rodríguez. It set up a quarter-final showdown with hosts Germany. Having assisted yet again in the tournament, this time for Roberto Ayala's opener, Riquelme was taken off in the 72nd minute. His fitness levels were undoubtedly struggling after a long season with Villarreal. With Argentina dominating possession and in complete control, it looked, in theory, like the right move.
With Román off the pitch, the game unravelled. Despite having no control of the game's tempo, Germany found a new lease of life without the Villarreal man on the pitch. Just eight minutes after he departed, Miroslav Klose brought Germany back into the match. By now it was panic stations for La Albiceleste. They couldn't keep the ball and were struggling to create chances. Without Riquelme, Argentina never recovered and lost via a penalty shootout.
Having dominated, personally and as part of the team, for 72 minutes, Riquelme never fully recovered from that loss. He blamed José Pékerman for taking him off; he was off the pitch when Argentina needed him most. Riquelme's career was slowly becoming one of missed opportunities.
For a man who wanted to dictate his life both on and off the pitch, the last two years had proved to go against the grain. Retiring from the national team was the first step on the road to taking back control. The next would come at Villarreal.
Manuel Pellegrini had always granted Riquelme special dispensation. He missed training when he wanted, ran less than most of his peers and would spend more time in his native country than the squad's other foreigners. It was all with a purpose: to have Román operating under the conditions he preferred. To keep him smiling.
Order | The Battle of the 10s
In the end, European football was too much for the Argentine. The journey no longer motivated him, and with wages on the rise in his native Argentina, the chance to return home to his ailing mother was too hard to resist.
As Sid Lowe sums up in one of his blog posts from 2007, Riquelme was given every chance to succeed. Simply put, his time was up: 'They [Villarreal] surrounded him with Argentinians, said nothing when he brought a plane-load of friends over from Don Torcuato, never questioned his "injuries", and turned a blind eye when he didn't fancy training. They even turned a blind eye when he didn't fancy playing, even though they'd built a team around him and made him ever-present, whatever his physical condition. If Riquelme wanted to play, he played: in the last two seasons he has not started a single game as sub.
'They also allowed him to travel back to Argentina for the birth of his son. And he didn't even say thanks. When he returned from that extended stay, he announced his intention not to train and Pellegrini decided it was the final straw. Likewise, president Fernando Roig, who announced: "He will obey the club and fulfill his obligations – or else he'll have problems with me." The club had given him everything. Never again.'
In February 2007, Riquelme re-joined his boyhood club Boca Juniors. Those close to the midfielder knew his time in Europe was up, but fans held out hope. After all, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. The move to Buenos Aires represented the passing of the most graceful player to have come out of Argentina since Fernando Redondo. It represented the end of a dream. The end of the fantasy. Ego, a lack of motivation, and the chance to control his own life tore Riquelme away from Europe.
Six years in his homeland awaited.
His time back at La Bombonera would bring him the coveted Copa Libertadores title again in 2007, in addition to the Apertura in 2008 and 2011. An Olympic gold medal in 2008 would be scant reward for his career with the national team.
Back in Buenos Aires his time at Boca still drew inevitable controversy. The club's fellow iconic star, Martín Palermo, a player known for his combative, bustling style – he couldn't have been more different to Riquelme on the pitch – had fundamental issues with Riquelme. They were worlds apart. Two different beings, brought together under the Boca umbrella.
Palermo, devoid of talent but full of energy in his movement, power in the air and intelligence in his finishing, would score 236 goals in Boca blue. His 219th goal, against Arsenal de Sarandí, would ultimately sum up the differences between Riquelme and Palermo.
Read | Three penalties and a goal aged 36 that decided the fate of the brilliant Martín Palermo
Román, having magically weaved his way through the Arsenal defence with typical skill, was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Just six yards out, with the whole goal to aim for, he instead squared it to his onrushing teammate – and foe – Palermo. As Palermo stroked the ball in, Riquelme rushed off to celebrate away from Palermo. Half the team joined him too. That was Riquelme's worth – making others look better than they were. According to various reports, he later told Palermo: "Anyone can score goals like that."
Having scored 48 goals in 187 games after returning to Boca, where he was idolised by the fans, cementing his legacy as one the last great fantasistas, he left for one final hurrah at Argentinos Juniors before calling time on his career in January 2015, 18 years after a cocky "new Maradona" had stepped onto the scene.
For some fans, Riquelme represented the very pinnacle of football. He blended the idea of fantasy and just enough aloofness to keep them glued to the television. His ability to drift in and out of games and influence proceeding when it was needed most was both unique and frustrating. Frustrating because you can't help but feel that Riquelme should've ended his career in the pantheon of true greats. His ability deserved as much.
But what is true greatness? Is it measured in trophies? Personal accolades? Fellow players' praise? True greatness is indeed part success. But it's also about what legacy you leave behind. Fifty-one caps and 17 goals for Argentina represents a meagre return for a player who struggled to live outside the confines of his own beliefs. Román will blame his lack of caps on politics – and that did play a part – but there's more to it than just that.
Politics, ego and controversy aside, what football was given in Juan Román Riquelme was natural talent rarely seen before. The sport, and its endless army of fans, was treated to a player who played football for its beauty. He played to make it a better place for those around him. The joy of seeing a teammate score after receiving his pass was ecstasy. It kept him coming back for more – until his body decided that time was up.
For me, Riquelme represents an idea – one that sadly doesn't have a place in the modern game. The idea that he's so good at football that he plays by his own rules. He sings to his own beat. Whether that makes him a true great or not is up for debate, but one thing is certain: there was greatness in those feet.
With a life away from the pitch calling Riquelme, we're left with the memory of a genius who was a master at caressing the ball. At guiding it. At making the game seem so easy. "The ball has given me everything. Just like little girls love dolls, the best toy I've ever had, or could ever have, is a football. The person who invented it is a true hero: nobody can top that."

COSAFA Men's Under-17 / Hosts Mauritius into semifinals as Malawi fall just short
Hosts Mauritius into semifinals as Malawi fall just short
Hosts Mauritius will complete the 2018 COSAFA Under-17 Championship semifinal line-up after Malawi failed to get margin of victory they needed to end their Group C campaign as the best runner-up on Wednesday.
Malawi defeated Swaziland 1-0 to finish second in their pool with six points and a goal-difference of +5.
That is the same as Mauritius in Group A, but while Malawi scored six goals in their three matches, the islanders netted seven and so advance on goals-scored to meet Group B winners South Africa in Friday's semifinals.
It is heartbreak for the Young Flames, which had finished third in the last two competitions and now see their hopes of qualifying for the 2019 African Under-17 Championships dashed.
Only the winner of the COSAFA competition will take their place in Tanzania next year, which in turn serves as a qualifier for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Peru later in the year.
Malawi grabbed their goal through Lovemore Mbeta, but then had to withstand some heavy pressure from Swaziland to claim the win.
Swaziland hit the post through Kendrik Maseko and also forced Malawi goalkeeper Kennedy Nankhaima into a number of fine saves.
The Young Flames could not find the extra strike they needed and so bow out with their heads held high, but short of the semifinals.
Group C winners Angola made it three wins from three as they defeated Zimbabwe 2-1 to inflict a third successive defeat on the Young Warriors.
David Nzanza and Abdoul Barri had Angola 2-0 up, but Zimbabwe were brought back into the game by a strike from Tapiwa Mandinyenya.
The semifinal line-up sees South Africa take on Mauritius at the Stade St Francois Xavier at 12h30 (08h30 GMT) on Friday, with the latter seeking to feature in a second successive final. It is a repeat of last year's semifinal that was won 2-0 by Mauritius.
Namibia will then take on Angola at 15h30 (11h30 GMT) at the same venue in the second semifinal.
Namibia were the 2016 winners, but Angola have had the best record in the pool stages as the only side to win all three of their matches.

Local lawmakers preview upcoming legislative session in Indy
By Jack Springgate
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) -2 members of the Indiana state legislature stopped by South Bend to preview the upcoming session.
State lawmakers will officially reconvene at the Capitol on Jan. 9 to start the legislative process.
We had two different perspectives give their takes on this upcoming session, one a Republican in the House, the other a Democrat in the Senate.
Both Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola) and Sen. David Niezgodski (D-South Bend) say January will start with a heavy focus on the economy, especially as they write the state's budget for the next two years.
They expect record investment in K-12 education, which includes an emphasis on training and retaining quality teachers.
This piqued the interest of several superintendents from nearby school corporations that were in attendance.
Senator Niezgodski says our area could benefit from getting support for students interested in skilled trade programs along with traditional classroom learning.
"It's not just the need that you have to go to a college or university. They have many choices. You have to make them feel like they're the most special people that you are thinking of," he said.
Wesco says the state is in a strong financial position right now, which will lead to further discussion about what sectors need extra dollars to keep up with inflation.
With record-high inflation keeping the threat of a potential recession alive, Wesco pointed out a trend happening here in Michiana that doesn't normally mean good news.
"There's just a lot of reports out of Elkhart County about RV factories slowing down and taking extended periods off for the holidays. Generally, the RV industry is an indicator of what's coming next with the economy," Wesco said.
Niezgodski says the Indiana Senate was majority democrat when he was first elected, but now that's an entirely different story.
Republicans outnumber democrats 40-10 in the Senate and 70-30 in the House, making it difficult to pass anything without republican support.
Niezgodski says he's still able to advocate for those he represents by tackling issues that impact people on both sides of the aisle.
"There are so many issues that don't have color, they don't have politics, and they're the same needs that you and I, democrat and republican—we all have similar needs. We need to learn how to message the way those needs need to be expressed," he said.
January will mark the beginning of a long session that's expected to wrap up in May.

Mongolia is the first world's most sparsely populated country. With 1.56 million km2, Mongolia is the 18th largest country in the world but it is only populated with 3.15 million inhabitants. This represents a population density of only 2 persons/km2.
Urban population is reaching 67.5% with Mongolia capital city , Ulaanbaatar, recording 1.5 million inhabitants. Almost half the population live in rural areas, some are sedentary whiles others live as nomadic livestock herders. According to official data, 60% of the total population is under 30 with 27% being under 14.
Land-locked, Mongolia is characterized by an extreme climate and harsh natural conditions. Landscapes are varied with Gobi Desert to the south, mountains to the north and west while the majority of the country consists of the Mongolian-Manchurian grassland steppe. The highest point in Mongolia is the Khuiten Peak in the Tavan Bogd massif in the far west at 4,374m.
Mongolia is characterized by an extreme continental climate with very cold long-lasting winters and very hot short-lasting summers. Average temperatures are below freezing point from November through March and are fluctuating between – 03 C and 1 C in the months of April and October. Summer starts from May and last until August with temperatures able to reach on average 38 C in the Gobi Desert and 33 C in Ulaanbaatar. In winter, nights can witness temperatures dropping to -30 C.
Mongolia has transitioned from centralized planned economy modelled on Soviet Union economic principles to a socially oriented market economy. Traditionally, agriculture and livestock used to be the main economic activities of the city. However, centralized planned economy pushed for the development of the history as the country is reach of mineral resources such : copper, coal, tin or gold. Mining represents today 30% of Mongolia industrial activity. Services represent however the largest contributor to national GDP at just 50% followed by Industries with 40% and Agriculture with 10%. Mongolia is embarked into the redevelopment of its economy on a more sustainable basis, especially in the use of natural resources and energy sources.
The country passed for the first time the 500,000 mark in international travellers in 2018, a growth of 12.3% over 2017. Since 2016 , Mongolia tourism has seen a continuous growth in total international arrivals after three years of decline from 2013 to 2015. The country is likely to welcome over 700,000 international arrivals by the end of the decade. China,Russia and South Korea were the top inbound markets in 2017 while Germany, France and the UK were the top Western European inbound markets.
VISA TO MONGOLIA
A 30-day tourist visa is required for most foreign nationals and can be easily obtained at any Mongolian embassy or consulate. Visa on arrival can be granted for countries with no embassy or consulate of Mongolia. A number of foreign travellers can visit Mongolia visa free. This includes citizens of Belarus, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macau, Serbia, Ukraine, and USA for up to 90 days. Citizens of Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, and Turkey can stay visa-free for up to 30 days, Philippines citizens benefit of 21 days and Hong Kong citizens of 14 days visa-free.
FLYING TO MONGOLIA
National carrier MIAT flies to nine destinations from Ulaanbaatar to Berlin, Frankfurt and Moscow in Europe, Bangkok in Southeast Asia, Beijing, Busan, Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo in Northeast Asia. From Hong Kong MIAT has a code share with Cathay Pacific for flights to Singapore, Delhi and Australia. MIAT will start flying last year to Guangzhou and Osaka.

Hero Dedicates A Melodious Song To His Beautiful Woman!
Vishnu Manchu starrer Achari America Yatra is gearing up for release. Teaser of the film released recently got tremondous response. The comedy entertainer directed by G Nageswar Reddy is all set for release on January 26th on the occasion of Republic Day. Vishnu and Brahmanandam combo's comedy is the highlight of the movie.
Makers have been unveiling song promos of Achari America Yatra one after the other. Swamy Ra Ra song that was released couple of days back got thumping response. Peppy dance track composed by SS Thaman is already topping the charts.
Today, Hero Vishnu Manchu released yet another song from the movie. Titled 'Cheliya', the sweet romantic melody is composed by Achu Rajamani and the heart-warming lyrics are penned by Ram Jogaiah Sastry. Vishnu dedicated the song to the most beautiful woman of his life, his wife as its her birthday today.


We construct housing price indices for 120 major cities in China in 2003-2013 based on sequential sales of new homes within the same housing developments. By using these indices and detailed information on mortgage borrowers across these cities, we find enormous housing price appreciation during the decade, which was accompanied by equally impressive growth in household income, except in a few first-tier cities. While bottom-income mortgage borrowers endured severe financial burdens by using price-to-income ratios over eight to buy homes, their participation in the housing market remained steady and their mortgage loans were protected by down payments commonly in excess of 35 percent. As such, the housing market is unlikely to trigger an imminent financial crisis in China, even though it may crash with a sudden stop in the Chinese economy and act as an amplifier of the initial shock.

Augmented Reality is the real time display of interactions of superimposed audio, video, graphics and other advanced effects over the real-world environment.
You are scratching you head, trying desperately to conjure up the how you are going to drive footfall and increase dwell time into your neglected public space. That awkward space, where many people are in transit to somewhere else. It needs to be an experience, that is informative, educational and most importantly memorable.
The writing pad by the side of your bed is empty. It's the pad with all your best ideas that come to you in the middle of the night. You need to write it down quickly before it disappears into the ether.
Then it comes to you!!
Why not create a world of interactive 3D characters, projected in real time using data shown by a computer or smartphone. Blending the virtual world with physical reality. Genius, everyone has a mobile smartphone, right?
A world of interactive 3D gaming featuring virtual characters, superimposed over your set designs (Santa, Polar Bear, Reindeer, Sleigh …you get the picture) via a mobile app which is very easy to use. These characters or images, can be accessed by scanning the Augmented Reality terminal which is provided in the area where the set design is installed.
Give your visitors the chance to experience a world of games that blend the virtual and real worlds for a fun and different experience.
Once the games are over, users are offered the chance to share their experience by posting a souvenir photo, featuring the city's logo, on their social networks or by texting.
The application, is fully customised enabling the app to have your City's name and logo and/or slogan appear on the application's pages on the smartphone as well as on any photos shared via the app via social media or messaging.

Q: Relaxing the requirement in the definition of locally convex space Among the several definitions of locally convex spaces, one is stated as below:
Let $X$ be a topological vector space. If for any $x\in X$ and for every open set $U$ containing $x$, there is an open convex, absorbing and balanced set containing $x$ and contained in $U$, then $X$ is called locally convex.
Can we change the definition to the following alternatives?

*

*there is a convex, absorbing and balanced set containing $x$ and contained in $U$. (openness is deleted)

*there is a convex set containing $x$ and contained in $U$ (openness and being absorbing and balanced are all deleted)

Cover Story: Apec's new role model
Tan Gim Ean
June 26, 2019 15:00 pm +08
This article first appeared in Options, The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on June 24, 2019 - June 30, 2019.
Two years into retirement and at a point in her life when she was feeling very comfortable, Tan Sri Dr Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria heard from friends at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) that the position of executive director at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) secretariat was falling vacant. They said to send in her CV as the country was hosting Apec in 2020 and it would be good to have a Malaysian in the post.
Sta Maria's first thoughts were: "Do I need another challenge? Do I need to disrupt my life again?" But after thinking it through, she decided, "Okay, lah. It's worth doing if Malaysia is going to be chair. Having been in Miti [she retired in July 2016 after six years as secretary-general], I understand chairing Apec can be daunting and they will need as much support as possible. So I put in my application and didn't think too much about it."
Last July, shortlisted candidates were called in for an interview. At Apec, decision-making is reached by consensus among its 21 member economies and everyone must agree to the appointment.
They did, and on Jan 2, Sta Maria became executive director of the Apec Secretariat based in Singapore. The role takes her back to work that she likes — trade and investment — "things I grew up with in the civil service, so it wouldn't be too much of a shock to the system or disruptive in that sense".
"But you had retired," some people reminded her.
"I know. You retire, then you want to try different things. I think there is no such thing as retirement per se. In my mind, I don't think I am 61. It's a very mental thing. I'm still very active, I keep up with the times."
For Sta Maria, the deciding factor was whether she would get up in the morning and dread going to work or feel, "Yes, this is a new challenge. I like it and I am going to make a difference." Her new schedule is not more hectic than what she was used to.

An Iranian April Surprise?
Mar 26 2019 / 1:08 pm
How far will the White House go to re-elect Netanyahu?
The situation that is developing around both this year's Israeli election and next year's ballot in the United States smacks of something like a developing conspiracy to renew the mandates of both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump somewhat reminiscent of the October Surprise that helped bring Ronald Reagan to the White House. Back then, the Reagan campaign team led by William Casey secretly negotiated with Iranian representatives to prolong the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis past the 1980 election, enabling Reagan to use the continuing stand-off as a wedge issue to attack the "weakness" of Carter foreign policy. If Carter had been able to bring the hostages home, he might have won reelection. In exchange for a Reagan offer of considerable military hardware, the Iranians agreed to release the U.S. hostages after the new president took office, which they did. And Reagan provided the hardware in an exchange that eventually morphed into Iran-Contra.
What is less known is that the initial secret meetings between Casey and the Iranians were set up by a group of CIA Chiefs of Station who had served in the Middle East but were at that time in Europe. The first meetings were in Paris. The Chiefs, all active-duty, serving CIA officers, were working for the Carter administration but were conspiring to defeat him and contributed materially to that outcome. Several of them were rewarded when Casey was subsequently named Director of Central Intelligence.
Curiously, both then and now Iran was and is at the center of what might or might not develop and there are clear signs that the United States is escalating its crisis with Tehran artificially to produce a conflict that would benefit no one in the short term but Bibi Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, who is struggling to get re-elected. A critical question becomes "Since Trump has pledged disengagement in the Middle East, is it he who is pulling the strings or is it National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, somewhat reminiscent of the cabal of CIA Chiefs conspiring behind the back of the elected president in 1980?" But the more important question is, perhaps, whether Bolton and Pompeo actually want Trump reelected or might they be engaged in something even more devious? Is a Mitt or a Marco lurking, either of whom would be seen very favorably by Israel and the neocons versus an extremely narcissistic and ultimately unreliable Trump?
That Washington has been slowly tightening the screws on Iran is undeniable, starting with the withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement last year, which has led to a level of economic warfare initiated by Washington that is unprecedented between two countries that are not actually at war. Ironically and inevitably, though the suffering of the Iranian people is real, the elites who run the country are largely immune to the hardships being experienced.
As there has been no sign that the Iranian people will overthrow their government, which is the White House's stated objective, more pressure is being contemplated. New sanctions were initiated last Friday and a move that mighty actually bring about an armed confrontation is being considered by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is clearly favoring declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) to be a foreign terrorist group.
Qassim Suleimani, commander of the IRGC's elite Quds Force component, has already been designated a terrorist by the U.S., but no armed forces entity from any country has ever before been awarded that distinction and it would likely produce a serious response from Iran, possibly including an attack on some U.S. military installation in the Middle East or against a U.S. Navy warship patrolling the Straits of Hormuz. That would in turn justify a response and the crisis could easily escalate.
According to the New York Times, the Pompeo "…plans also would designate some Iraqi Shiite militias as foreign terrorist organizations. As a result, the Iranian-trained militias — and Iraqi officials who support them — would be subject to new economic sanctions and travel restrictions." This scenario would also compound problems with Baghdad, which is already reluctant to accept the stationing of U.S. troops in the country without placing severe restrictions on when, how and where they might be able to operate, and it would also be seen by the rulers in Tehran as a major threat to Iran's national security.
So, there would be complications and also considerable downside if Washington were to take the lead on designating Iranian or Iranian connected militias terrorists, but bear in mind the considerable upside, which is that war is, generally speaking, good for incumbency unless it quickly and undeniably goes disastrously wrong. A quick strike to punish Iran before the Israeli election would help Netanyahu, just as a successful and not too prolonged "cakewalk" engagement with the Mullahs would elevate Trump next year. The president and his close advisors have surely noted that the only time he was regarded as "presidential" by the media and inside the Beltway talking heads was when he ordered the launch of cruise missiles to punish Syria for an alleged chemical attack back in April 2017. The fact that the attack was based on false intelligence was irrelevant and it did not produce any damage to key voter constituencies, apart from that segment of the population that voted for Trump because he was perceived to be the anti-war choice for president.
The Israelis are, of course, deep into the planning for a conflict, and have recently again been promoting their repeatedly discredited casus belli claim that Iran has a secret nuclear program. It would be reasonable to suggest that war with Iran is coming and it is only a matter of timing concerning when and exactly how it starts. There may not be enough time left to do Netanyahu a favor that he would surely reciprocate in American elections next year, but you can also bet that the Israeli Mossad intelligence service is hard at work coming up with "false flag" contingency plans to jump start a war sooner rather than later. There have long been concerns that intelligence agencies might go rogue but we are now living in an age where the existence of a "deep state" in many countries suggests that they have already been rogue for some time, most particularly in the United States.
Suggesting the possibility of some covert intrigues behind the scenes in the Administration does not necessarily mean that there is an actual conspiracy apart from that which is being run by the White House and Congress against the American people. But because we live in a world where we can no longer expect the government to behave honorably, it is wise to expect just about anything. Politicians care only about retaining power by being re-elected in both Israel and in the United States and, since the two governments are currently joined at the hip and likely perceiving war as part of an electoral strategy, why not expect the worst?

Use of monoclonal antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies to investigate the macrophage inflammation of acute experimental myasthenia gravis: Refractoriness to a second episode of acute disease
A. L. Corey, David P Richman, C. A. Shuman, C. M. Gomez, B. G. Arnason
The acute phase of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) is characterized by macrophage inflammation of muscle endplates and by muscle fiber necrosis. We induced acute EAMG by passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) to investigate this brief and self-limited disorder. After the initial acute phase, animals were refractory to induction of a second episode by subsequent injection of the same mAb, or another anti-AChR mAb of different idiotype and which binds to a separate epitope. Therefore, the refractory state was not caused by an anti-idiotypic response or epitopic modulation. Adoptive transfer of spleen cells from refractory animals had no effect, excluding a role of suppressor lymphocytes, and there was no evidence from experiments involving adoptive transfer of spleen cells from naive animals to refractory animals that refractory animals lacked effector cells.
