The Legend of Zelda: breath of the wild.
[Redmond, WA] : Nintendo, [2017]
"In the distant past, the many races of Hyrule lived together in harmony, the Sheikah's blue aura providing life to the land, and everyone benefited from the Sheikah's advanced technology. That all ended when a beast that came to be known as Calamity Ganon appeared. 10,000 years later, after having reverted to a medieval state, the kingdom of Hyrule rediscovered the ancient technology left behind by their ancestors through excavation. Upon reading the prophecies their ancestors had left behind, they learned that Calamity Ganon would return, and that Hyrule would require the mechanical Guardians and Divine Beasts to stop it. Key members of Hyrule's various races were assembled to pilot these ancient machines and given the name pilot Champions. The Hero, the Princess, and the Champions attempted to stop the evil, but ultimately failed. The Calamity Ganon had turned the Guardians and Divine Beasts against the kingdom of Hyrule, causing it to collapse. The Hero was gravely wounded and taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. The Princess then used the last of her power and managed to temporarily seal Calamity Ganon inside Hyrule Castle. In the present, 100 years later, an amnesiac Link awakens from a deep sleep as a mysterious female voice guides him to the now ruined kingdom of Hyrule. He meets an old man and learns that Calamity Ganon has been sealed in Hyrule Castle for one hundred years. Although trapped, Calamity Ganon has continued to grow in power, and Link must defeat it before it breaks free and destroys the world"--Wikipedia.

Two men, both with their own problems they are trying to overcome, both shy about asking the other one out for fear of losing a friendship.
Sam works as a barista, he is happy in his job with his little work family around him. Every day he waits for Ben to come in for his regular drink. They get on well and have a laugh but Sam knows that if he just worked up the courage, Ben would be the man for him.
Ben was a photographer who worked at the gallery. All of his friends from the coffee shop had seen his work apart from Sam, obviously he wasn't interested so he settled for just being friends.
The trouble is, when a relationship begins with a lie, it's never going to end well!!
A nice, sweet book with a HEA.


Physical therapist Eric Keiper's teardrop trailer with tent is featured in the fall issue of The New Pioneer. The article includes the entire material list.
Eric Keiper is a physical therapist in Oklahoma who recently had his homebuilt teardrop trailer featured in The New Pioneer magazine. Not only does this fun and functional camping trailer have a rooftop tent, but the entire project only cost about $2,000 to build. The magazine includes the materials list and an interview with Keiper.
Eric Keiper's teardrop trailer features a rooftop tent.
Keiper designed the teardrop trailer, named "Escape", and wanted to make sure he had enough room for his family of four. The rooftop tent is used by Keiper and his wife (their teenage daughter prefers the inside of the trailer) and was purchased from Cascadia Vehicle Tents for around $1,300. Keiper built a customized roof rack where the tent can be attached to secured pipes. The tent can then be unfolded at the campsite.
The tent and teardrop fits his family of four and all necessary gear.
Built with basic handheld tools, the 4×6 foot, 700 lb. teardrop has oak framing and R5 foam insulation with a fiberglass interior and exterior. Butyl putty tape was used to seal out water and UV resistant house paint was used on the exterior shell. The trailer also includes a bike rack, air foam mattress and two 18×26 inch doors.
The trailer has an oak frame and R5 foam insulation.
The fall issue of The New Pioneer magazine features the teardrop build.
The New Pioneer Magazine is a quarterly guide to self-reliant living, sustainability, building projects, solar power, off-grid living, gardening and keeping livestock. The Fall 2015 issue features Keiper's trailer as well as articles on building a raised cinderblock grill and a 150 square foot straw bale cottage. You can subscribe to the magazine at Real World Survivor.
The New Pioneer magazine features articles on self-reliant living.
My comment: Why??? I always want to carry a ladder when I go camping. And if you're trying to bear-proof a tent, that ain't gonna happen.


The Rutgers gymnastics team gained valuable postseason experience Saturday at the NCAA Regionals in Athens, Ga., earning a program-high 193.750 score to finish sixth behind Michigan, Georgia, Central Michigan, Ohio State and North Carolina State.
Senior Alexis Gunzelman's season will continue after her second-place finish in the all-around automatically qualified her for NCAA nationals.
Head coach Louis Levine praised Gunzelman's consistency.
Gunzelman earned a team-high 9.775 score on balance beam and added a 9.800 on floor exercise, vault and uneven bars en route to a 39.175 in the all-around. She becomes just the second Scarlet Knight to qualify for nationals as an individual and the first since 2002.
Levine was happy with Rutgers' overall performance.
Gunzelman, who anchored the Knights' lineup on bars and beam, was proud of what her team accomplished.
Freshman Claire Jones, who fell on her flight series, said that anxiety did play a factor.
Mentally after the fall, Jones had a choice — let the early fall get stuck in her head or fight through her next two events. She posted a 9.775 on floor and a 9.700 on vault to help her team into fifth place headed into the final rotation.
The Gaffney, S.C., native was upset with herself for coming off the beam and putting the pressure on Gunzelman to hit her routine.

Pope Francis thanks Polish people for opening homes to Ukrainians fleeing war
March 2, 2022 Catholic News Agency News Briefs 0 Print
Pope Francis at the general audience in Paul VI Hall on March 2, 2022 / Vatican Media
Vatican City, Mar 2, 2022 / 03:34 am (CNA).
Pope Francis expressed gratitude to the Polish people on Wednesday for their generosity in welcoming Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.
"I cordially greet all Poles. You were the first to support Ukraine by opening your borders, your hearts and the doors of your homes to Ukrainians fleeing the war," Pope Francis said in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall on March 2.
"You are generously offering them everything they need so that they can live in dignity, despite the drama of the moment. I am deeply grateful to you and I bless you from my heart!"
In an emotional moment, Pope Francis pointed out that one of the readers at his live-streamed general audience was from Ukraine and that his parents were hiding in a bomb shelter near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
The reader was Father Marek Viktor Gongalo, a Franciscan friar who is a professor of canon law at the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome.
"This speaker is Ukrainian and his parents are at this moment in underground shelters to defend themselves from bombs in a place near Kyiv. And he continues to do his duty here with us," the pope explained.
"Accompanying him, we accompany all the Ukrainian people who are suffering from the bombings, the families and the many elderly people who are suffering. We carry this people in our hearts. And thank you for your work."
Pope Francis has called for March 2, Ash Wednesday, to be a global day of prayer and fasting for peace in Ukraine.
The pope has described March 2, the first day of the liturgical season of Lent, as "a day to be close to the sufferings of the Ukrainian people, to feel that we are all brothers and sisters, and to implore God for the end of the war."
"Today we enter the time of Lent. Our prayer and fasting will be a plea for peace in Ukraine, remembering that world peace always begins with our personal conversion, following Christ. God bless you," Pope Francis said on Wednesday.
Almost half a million people have crossed the Polish border from Ukraine, a country with a population of 44 million, seeking refuge from the Russian military advance on their country, which began on Feb. 24.
Catholic organizations in Poland are helping tens of thousands of refugees, providing them with beds, housing, psychological support, food, and clothing.
The Polish bishops' conference has urged Catholics in the country to open "homes, hostels, diocesan and parish retreat houses, and all places where help can be provided to people in need."
Russian forces have moved to encircle Kyiv, where multiple blasts were reported early Wednesday morning, and troops are laying siege to Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city.
More than 453,000 people have fled to Poland to Ukraine in the past six days, according to Poland's border guard agency. On March 1 alone, 98,000 people crossed the border into Poland.
The United Nations refugee agency has predicted that more than four million people could eventually be forced to leave Ukraine, according to the New York Times.
Poland, a Central European country with a population of 38 million, shares a 332-mile border with Ukraine.
A collection for Ukraine was held in churches across Poland on Sunday, Feb. 27, and a further collection will take place on Ash Wednesday, March 2.
The Church's support is being channeled mainly through Caritas Poland, the country's largest charity, and diocesan branches of Caritas.
Last week, Caritas Poland made an initial donation of 100,000 Polish złotys (around $24,000) in emergency aid. The funds have been transferred to Caritas Ukraine, overseen by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, and Caritas-Spes, operated by Ukraine's Latin Rite Catholic Church.
The most urgent needs include food and hygiene supplies, as well as mattresses, sleeping bags, blankets, and mobile kitchens. Polish Catholic dioceses are organizing transport for refugees and in-kind donations.
The Polish association of the Order of Malta is also helping people fleeing the war. In the southern city of Kraków, members are providing meals for refugees housed in hotels.
The order is establishing medical aid centers in several Polish cities, as well as at the train stations in Przemyśl and nearby Rzeszów, where there is a constant stream of new arrivals.
Pope Francis has a long-standing connection with Ukraine. During a visit to the Ukrainian Catholic community in Rome in 2018, he recalled that a Ukrainian bishop in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires had taught him when he was 12 years old how to be an altar server at Eastern Rite liturgies and read the Ukrainian alphabet.
As pope, he has consistently shown his concern for Ukrainians. In 2016, he launched a charitable project, called "Pope for Ukraine," that has helped more than a million people.
During his Angelus address last Sunday, Pope Francis called for humanitarian corridors to be opened in Ukraine and other parts of the world where there is violence, such as Yemen, Syria, and Ethiopia.
"With a heart broken by what is happening in Ukraine … I repeat: put down your weapons! God is with the peacemakers, not with those who use violence," Pope Francis said.

Irish bishops petition government to lift ban on religious gatherings
Rome Newsroom, Oct 30, 2020 / 12:01 pm (CNA).- Irish bishops met with the prime minister this week to petition the government to lift the current coronavirus restrictions on public worship as soon as possible.
"We have been doing everything possible to keep our church buildings safe, and there is no evidence that the church buildings and church worship have actually been a source of contagion or spreading the infection, so I have to say that I was disappointed and I said that to the Taoiseach," Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh said in a radio interview Oct. 30, after the meeting.
Public worship has been suspended in the Republic of Ireland since Oct. 7 due to an Irish government decree that placed the entire country under "Level 3" restrictions as a result of an increase in coronavirus cases. It is the second time that public Masses in Ireland have been suspended this year.
Archbishop Martin, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin, Archbishop Michael Neary of Tuam, Archbishop Kieran O'Reilly of Cashel and Emly, and Bishop Dermot Farrell of Ossory met with Taoiseach Micheál Martin Oct. 28 to express their "great desire to return to worship as soon as possible."
"The Archbishops emphasised that they are fully supportive of the Public Health messages but highlighted that the coming together in prayer and worship, especially for Mass and the Sacraments, is fundamental to Christian tradition and a source of nourishment for the life and well-being of whole communities," according to a statement from the Irish bishops' conference.
In the meeting, the bishops also stressed the "mammoth effort that has been made by priests and volunteers at parish level to ensure that gatherings in Church are as safe as possible," as well as the "importance of gathering for worship as a source of consolation and hope at Christmas time."
"We were hopeful when we left," Martin said in an interview with LMFM Radio Oct. 30. "I'm hopeful that the Taoiseach will now bring our message to the cabinet … and the further health authorities."
The Irish government has yet to announce any changes to the coronavirus restrictions, which are currently at "Level 5".
Bishops in France also met with their prime minister on the eve of France's second lockdown to discuss security measures regarding the coronavirus as well as the attack on Notre-Dame de Nice.
Archbishop Éric de Moulins-Beaufort of Rhiems, president of the French bishops' conference, and Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris met with Prime Minister Jean Castex in Paris Oct. 29.
Arcbhishop Moulins-Beaufort had written to French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week requesting that public worship be allowed to continue during France's lockdown and that Catholics would be allowed to visit cemeteries for All Souls' Day.
The bishop also requested that the French government allow Catholic chaplaincies in hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons to continue to take place during the lockdown.
Other French bishops spoke out on social media. Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne wrote on Twitter Oct. 28: "It seems to me that freedom of worship is at stake, especially since schools remain open."

Le Président n'a rien dit sur les lieux de culte, mais Mgr de Moulins Beaufort lui a écrit hier pour lui demander qu'en cas de confinement, les célébrations cultuelles demeurent. Il en va, me semble-t-il, de la liberté de culte, d'autant que les écoles restent ouvertes.
— Mgr Marc Aillet (@MgrMAillet) October 28, 2020

France's lockdown went into effect Oct. 30 and will last until at least Dec. 1. Under the current restrictions, people are not permitted to go 1 kilometer beyond their homes, except for essential work or medical reasons. All non-essential businesses, including restaurants, are closed, but schools will remain open.
La Croix has reported that the French Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin specified in a video conference with religious leaders Oct. 28 that churches will be allowed to remain open, however all religious ceremonies throughout the country, including public Masses, weddings, and funerals will be suspended from Nov. 2 until at least Dec. 1.
The French bishops' conference and local dioceses have not made any official announcements, except to clarify that All Saints' Day Masses will be allowed to take place.
Europe is currently experiencing a second wave of coronavirus cases which has led Italy and Spain to impose curfews and Germany to close all bars and restaurants for one month.
More than 1 million people have tested positive for COVID-19 in France, where 35,823 people have died after contracting the coronavirus, according to the John Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
Following the Oct. 29 terrorist attack at Notre-Dame de Nice, a spokesperson for the French Bishops' Conference, Vincent Neymon, argued for the importance of France's churches to remain open for Christians.
"To close the churches would be to bend one's knee in the face of this threat which seeks to sow anxiety among our compatriots," Neymon said in a radio interview with RTL.

Participate in the 13th edition of the Mobile Film Festival
1 Mobile, 1 Minute, 1 Film. Become a director simply using a mobile phone. This is the challenge set by the Mobile Film Festival for the last thirteen years, born at the same time as our smartphones. Participants from anywhere in the world can enter films up to 9th January 2018.
BNP Paribas supports the cinematic dreams of hospitalized children
Cinema: which are the actors of a feature film's financing ?
Mobile Film Festival 2017
The Mobile Film Festival, created in 2005 by Bruno Smadja, aims to identify the young directors of tomorrow. The candidates, mostly aged between 20 and 30, attempt to make themselves known to the public and professionals by presenting a film shot on a mobile phone.
The simplicity of the concept - one mobile phone, one minute of film - means they need to be concise. The simpler the presented idea is, the more likely it is to be effective. The whole challenge lies in telling a story and conveying emotion in under 60 seconds with very little means.
The mobile phone choice maintains all its significance today. Smartphones are easily accessible for a young director and have impressive optical qualities. In this way, the idea of removing all economic constraints so that everyone can participate under the same conditions is now a global reality.
The Mobile Film Festival is honoured to have been invited for a retrospective and discussion evening on 10th November by the Brest European Short Film Festival, one of the most prestigious in Europe.

So when does taking Vitamin D end up being too much Vitamin D. My PCP feels diet alone should take care of my vitamin needs. Whereas the cardiologist told me I should take 5000IU of D daily. I already take 2500IU. He also told me Omega3 doesn't have heart benefits but I make sure I take it everyday. So I'm on the fence about increasing my D. And I doubt I'll stop taking Essential-1 the best multi ever.

From Air Quality to Zero Emissions
Home › Latest news › From Air Quality to Zero Emissions

 'Biomass', 'Carbon Credits' and 'Sustainable Development' are just some of the terms explained in a new handy guide launched today, Monday 24 September, 2009. Entitled: 'From Air Quality to Zero Emissions' it is hoped that the guide will explain common environmental information in a much more accessible way so that the general public can engage more in environmental issues.
'Biomass', 'Carbon Credits' and 'Sustainable Development' are just some of the terms explained in a new handy guide launched today, Monday 24 September, 2009. Entitled: 'From Air Quality to Zero Emissions' it is hoped that the guide will explain common environmental information in a much more accessible way so that the general public can engage more in environmental issues.
"The environmental movement is relatively new and has a lot of its own terminology that has sometimes been seen as the preserve of academics and experts. The aim of this new guide is to help ordinary people understand more about the words and concepts used daily in relation to the environment so that they can make more informed choices," said Inez Bailey, Director, National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA).
Developed by NALA, the A – Z guide contains over 100 explanations of common environmental terms and was launched today by Mr John Gormley T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government as part of National Adult Literacy Awareness Week in the Custom House, Dublin 1.
The guide is a free resource and it will be available online at www.nala.ie, in libraries, citizen information centres and free from NALA.
Speaking at the launch, Minister John Gormley said "My Department's activities affect the lives of every citizen of the state. They range from the quality of the environment in which we live to the housing, water and other services we as citizens use. However, not all environmental terms are easy to understand. Indeed with an estimated one in four adults having a significant literacy difficulty, we face particular challenges in making sure that we provide clear, jargon-free information. 'From Air Quality to Zero Emissions' is an important resource that I have no doubt will help people understand more complex terms which are used on a daily basis in relation to environmental issues."
"Taoiseach Brian Cowen has spoken this week about carbon fuels and taxes, and the need to stop global warming. However, the problem with so many environmental concepts is that it is sometimes hard to know where to start. Indeed lack of plain English and jargon have been found to be one of the greatest barriers to understanding information. The terms described in this new guide are designed to help explain the most common environmental terms in plain English and it is hoped it will go some way to help people better understand current environmental issues" said Inez Bailey, Director, NALA.
Sample environmental terms include:
Short for Building Energy Rating, which says how much energy a home needs for heating, lighting and hot water. Homes are placed on a scale from A to G. A-rated homes need the least amount of energy while G-rated need the most. Since 1 January 2009, all homes being sold or rented must have a BER certificate. BER ratings are carried out by BER Assessors registered with Sustainable Energy Ireland.
Carbon count
A measure of the amount of carbon dioxide you produce through your lifestyle every day, for example through driving or using electrical appliances and lighting.
Being unable to heat a home to a safe and comfortable level because of low household income or having to spend more than 10% of household income to heat a home to a comfortable level because the home is not energy efficient.
Waste that poses a risk to human health or the environment and needs to be handled and disposed of carefully. Examples include oil-based paints, car batteries, weed killers, bleach and waste electrical and electronic devices.
Short for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which are any unwanted devices with a plug or battery – from a remote control or digital camera to a vacuum cleaner or fridge freezer. These devices must be disposed of carefully to avoid damage to the environment. To get rid of an unwanted device, you can bring it to a civic amenity site or leave it with a retailer when you are buying a new device. All WEEE left in retail outlets and civic amenity sites are collected for recycling.
NALA plans to update the guide online to ensure that it maintains its relevance.
Clare McNally, National Adult Literacy Agency, 01 8509109 / 087 6486292
The National Adult Literacy Agency:
The National Adult Literacy Agency is an independent membership organisation, concerned with developing policy, advocacy, research and offering advisory services in adult literacy work in Ireland. NALA was established in 1980 and has campaigned since then for the recognition of, and responses to, the adult literacy issue in Ireland. According to the last international survey, one in four Irish adults has difficulties reading and writing. For example, they may not be able to understand environmental information on waste bins or public information notices.
With this in mind, a lot of NALA's work involves developing policies and practices that reduce literacy-related barriers to accessing information – specifically in public services. This has involved working with a number of government departments in producing publications in plain English. As its focus is on everyday language, plain English is a style of presenting information that helps someone understand it the first time they read or hear it.

Kenya's NopeaRide EV taxi-hailing service shuts down operations
Minority shareholder files for liquidation
NopeaRide, Kenya's first fully electric taxi service, has announced that it would be shutting down its operations in the country after its major shareholder and parent company, Ekorent Oy, based in Finland, declared insolvency.
The company disclosed in a statement that it would be closing down for good due to the insolvent nature of the major shareholder, EkoRent Oy, which launched the service in 2014. The minority shareholder InfraCo Africa Limited has now filed for liquidation of EkoRent Africa Limited in the High Court of Kenya.
The statement reads:
NopeaRide EV taxi-hailing service shuts down operations
"Following the announcement that our majority shareholder, EkoRent Oy, has declared insolvency in Finland, we are sad to announce that InfraCo Africa Limited, the minority shareholder, has now filed for the liquidation of EkoRent Africa Limited in the High Court of Kenya."
"This is because EkoRent Oy was the principal financier of EkoRent Africa Limited, and all the technical knowledge on the running of the business lay with EkoRent Oy."
"We have taken our fleet of electric vehicles off the road and have notified our staff and corporate clients. We are now working with relevant authorities to ensure that our operations are wound up in accordance with local legislation."
"A mention date has been set for 13th December 2022," the statement reads.
Although the company had made several strides this year in meeting its target of fleets and previous metrics in 2019 before the pandemic, EkoRent OY went into insolvency in Finland and was unable to secure additional financing to grow the business in Kenya to the next level.
In 2021, NopeaRide announced that it would increase the number of cars in its fleet from 30 to 100 as part of a growth strategy. But by the time it closed shop on Nov. 28, it had only 70 electric cars.
A funding round that NopeaRide hoped would help it reach pre-covid profitability levels failed to materialize.

The story behind NopeaRide's collapse
NopeaRide service was launched in Kenya in August 2018 (then known as NopiaRide) by the 2014-founded Finnish company EkoRent Oy. Juha Suojanen founded EkoRent Oy in 2014 to develop solutions using electric vehicles.
NopeaRide Electric Vehicles
In Nairobi, Nopea began with a minimally viable product with only three electric vehicles and two chargers. The following year, the company's fleet and charging network experienced gradual growth.
Nopea built a charging network in Nairobi after raising undisclosed funding in 2019 and placed orders for additional electric vehicles and chargers. Unfortunately, many of the additional vehicles arrived in Nairobi just about the same time when the strict Covid-19 curfew rules were put in place in March 2020.
According to the company, those lockdown rules lead to daily kilometers driven by Nopea vehicles dropping approximately 60% over night making it a terrible time for the company.
Although a wrong timing for the fleet of cars which arrived given the new restrictions in place, the company used a good part of 2020 in developing their software further and negotiating for additional equity investment.
Those negotiations finally reached a successful conclusion at the end of 2020 as restrictions gradually slowed down.
2021 was going to be a good year after the company entered into a cooperation agreement with a leading local technology and research university to build a Solar Charging Car Port for Nopea electric vehicles with an option for electric BodaBoda (eBoda) battery swap stations.
The number of vehicles required in Kenya to break even was predicted by NopeaRide during the initial equity round.
Even though the company expanded its fleet of electric vehicles and opened new Nopea charge stations, its traffic never returned to the levels it had before the curfew regulations related to the epidemic were implemented.
NopeaRide
Additionally, NopeaRide got €200,000 from EEP Africa, a financing facility for early-stage renewable energy in Southern and East Africa, last year. This infusion helped the company expand its service area in preparation for expansion and establish more solar charging centres in Nairobi.
The startup claimed it was on the road to recovery this year after the COVID outbreak severely hurt sales and caused a decline in rides as more people worked from home.
"In the first half of 2022 our traffic numbers grew to about the same level as before Covid-19. We also started to put more effort in the corporate segment as their employees were returning to office and managed to sign contracts with a few big international companies, some of them potentially reserving the majority of available Nopea capacity."
However, EkoRent OY went into insolvency in Finland and was unable to secure additional financing to grow the business in Nairobi to the next level.
According to the company's statement, 70 Nopea electric vehicles have been brought into Kenya since its introduction five years ago. By June 2022, they will have travelled more than 4 million miles and prevented more than 650 tons of CO2 emissions.

The Kenya cab-hailing startup also operated the largest electric vehicle charging network in East Africa.
"We would like to extend our deepest regret to our dedicated team of staff and drivers. We would also like to thank our loyal NopeaRide customers, corporate clients and other partners who have supported NopeaRide's vision for electric mobility in Africa", the company says.

Syrian oil sector has lost $65 billion.
Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Ali Ghanem claimed that oil sector has suffered heavy loss, amounted to about $65 billion. Syria switched from exporting to importing oil. However, due to its durability, the country has managed to satisfy all the country's needs.
Ghanem noted that it is very complicated to provide the country, especially taking into account the embargo targeted at Syria by some exporters which result in price increase. This is why Syria does everything to become self-sufficient and seeks for new oilfields and builds new oil derricks. Minister Ghanem specifically noted that refinery workers in Homs and Banias have managed to recommence operations which helped to save huge sums of money for the government.
Ali Ghanem also stated that a gas refinery is being currently rebuilt in Adra. Also, there is a project to expand a gas plant in Banias, and the construction of a gas station is completed in Sinjwan, Latakia. Now gas cylinders are being sold there.
Minister Ghanem claimed that all the phosphates country has were distributed to several manufacturing sectors. Each of them will be relying on private investments. He also noted that land will be provided to private businesses for building petroleum stations. All the territories which had been successfully protected by the army and are in stable condition have to be able to provide basic service, and building petroleum stations is one of the main steps for getting back to normal life.

Has global warming research misinterpreted cloud behavior?
Climate experts agree that the seriousness of manmade global warming depends greatly upon how clouds in the climate system respond to the small warming tendency from the extra carbon dioxide mankind produces.
To figure that out, climate researchers usually examine natural, year-to-year fluctuations in clouds and temperature to estimate how clouds will respond to humanity¹s production of greenhouse gases.
When researchers observe natural changes in clouds and temperature, they have traditionally assumed that the temperature change caused the clouds to change, and not the other way around. To the extent that the cloud changes actually cause temperature change, this can ultimately lead to overestimates of how sensitive Earth's climate is to our greenhouse gas emissions.
This seemingly simple mix-up between cause and effect is the basis of a new paper that will appear in the Journal of Climate. The paper's lead author, Dr. Roy W. Spencer, a principal research scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, believes the work is the first step in demonstrating why climate models produce too much global warming.
Spencer and his co-author, principal research scientist William (Danny) Braswell, used a simple climate model to demonstrate that something as seemingly innocuous as daily random variations in cloud cover can cause year-to-year variation in ocean temperature that looks like -- but isn't -- "positive cloud feedback," a warmth-magnifying process that exists in all major climate models.
"Our paper is an important step toward validating a gut instinct that many meteorologists like myself have had over the years," said Spencer, "that the climate system is dominated by stabilizing processes, rather than destabilizing processes -- that is, negative feedback rather than positive feedback."
The paper doesn't disprove the theory that global warming is manmade.
Instead, it offers an alternative explanation for what we see in the climate system which has the potential for greatly reducing estimates of mankind's impact on Earth's climate.
"Since the cloud changes could conceivably be caused by known long-term modes of climate variability -- such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, or El Nino and La Nina -- some, or even most, of the global warming seen in the last century could simply be due to natural fluctuations in the climate system," Spencer said.
While the paper's two peer reviewers, both climate model experts, agreed that the issue is a legitimate one, Spencer knows the new paper will be controversial, with some claiming that the impact of the mix-up between cause and effect will be small.
"But we really won't know until much more work is done," Spencer said.
"Unfortunately, so far we have been unable to figure out a way to separate cause and effect when observing natural climate variability. That's why most climate experts don't like to think in terms of causality, and instead just examine how clouds and temperature vary together.
"Our work has convinced me that cause and effect really do matter. If we get the causation wrong, it can greatly impact our interpretation of what nature has been trying to tell us. Unfortunately, in the process it also makes the whole global warming problem much more difficult to figure out."

Now this sounds like science. I salute the courage of those willing to speak out against the oppressive demands for conformity on AGW. Based on the flimsiest evidence and the advantage to certain groups we are about to stifle the US and global economy. It's time to step back and let cooler heads prevail.
gmurphy
"Based on the flimsiest evidence". What planet have you been living on?. Glaciers the world over have receded while the level of solar output has diminished. We're heating up but getting less energy from the sun, please explain how this is flimsy?, let me guess, it sounds like science when it agrees with you own conclusions?, I cannot understand why people treat climate change with such suspicion, read this document : www.ipcc.ch/pdf/a...-spm.pdf
Let me ask you something.
Has the world been baked to a crisp and risen dramatically in temperature every time a volcano has erupted?
no, in fact volcanic eruptions are usually followed by global drops in temperature, 1816 was known as the year without a summer, caused by massive volcanic eruptions globally, read this wiki article : http://en.wikiped...a_Summer
Its not to hard to find out more information about these things on the web, try it some time.
Exactly, and the amount of CO2 dumped into the atmospehre after a volcano eruption is in the order of a million times as much as all human activity since we began using fossil fuels, so how pray tell does our meagre contribution make a difference?
Oops, it would appear I made that up!
ppnl
"Exactly, and the amount of CO2 dumped into the atmospehre after a volcano eruption is in the order of a million times as much as all human activity since we began using fossil fuels,..."
Uh, no. CO2 produced by humans in a year is like 150 times all the CO2 produced by volcanoes in that year. You are a victim of a piece of viral nonsense.
I beat you too it! lol
Turbulence is still one of the most highly intractable problems in physics. The lacking ability to treat this problem spells disaster for weather models. Any conclusion drawn from a weather model is likely flawed. But weather models is where the global warming seems to be championed. Then the "tiger in the woods" people run amok with their hands in the air because everywhere they look the sky is
falling.

Global warming is a hoax designed by industry and government to detract from real environmental concerns. The study of "global warming" is so incredibly complex that the cause simply won't ever be demonstrable either way. However, demonstrating that toxins and dangerous chemicals pollute our waterways and food supplies is easy and obvious, but industry and the government don't want any attention there.
I think we've got much larger concerns than an abundance of plantfood in the atmosphere. Something about chemtrails... flame on.
DavidB_Benson
Actual knowledge about climatology can be obtained by reading "The Discovery of Global Warming" by Spencer Weart:
http://www.aip.or...dex.html
The most importatn part of the main article is
Which is in reference to the cause-effect relationship, ralated to the MJO, he claims to have found. Whichever way, the result for climatology is very small and cannot readjust know results from the palsoclimate record.
While you deniers can say what you want, the earth is warming as plants, animals move north and soon all the glaciers will have melted stopping the flows to many river systems which will seriously cut food production.
While I'm not fond of some of the science of GW, it is undeniably happening. While CO2 isn't as large a factor I believe we still need to tax fossil fuels, cut their use for health, national/economic security reasons.
To not tax them, especially oil to pay the costs of the Persian Gulf military and oil wars costs and giving our enemies like Iran, Russia, oil dictators and terrorist $1T in 2 yrs if we don't I think is treason. Better our gov tax it and give us tax breaks and help switching to more eff and alt energy sources than big oil, our enemies get it. Coal's costs are just as bad though from poisoning, destroying everything from land, water and air.
For instance I'd like to see a halt to jets flying above 28k' for a week or month to see what the lack of contrails does to the weather, GW.
I forgot to mention CO2 acidifying the oceans is a huge threat.

Call My Name by Swellison
TV » Supernatural Rated: K+, English, Angst, Dean W., Castiel, Words: 3k+, Favs: 8, Follows: 2, Published: 6/21/2011
A/N: Originally published in Blood Brothers #4 by Gold'n Lily Press.
Dean drove down the highway, the last song on the AC/DC tape fading into squeaky silence. He punched the eject button, grabbed a random replacement tape and shoved it in. A brassy guitar riff rent the air, and Dean caught himself listening for Sammy's objection. But...Sam wasn't there anymore. No one was riding shotgun, his music choices didn't get anyone's goat anymore.
The passenger seat was empty, and that was strange. No, not strange, it was...lonely. A sudden unwanted echo of the way things used to be a few years back. The way things were again.
Dean growled and straightened in his seat, hands imperceptibly gripping the wheel tighter. He needed to find a hunt, immerse himself in it. He needed Sa— He needed to move on, go forward, find something else to kill. There was always something, right?
Where was he? Oh, yeah, the last state line he'd crossed made it Minnesota. What evil fuglies hung out in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes? Wendigos! Yeah, that'd be good. They ha— He hadn't faced a wendigo since Black Ridge... Come to think of it, that hadn't been his best win. He'd been more than scratched, hung up like a side of beef, until Sa— No, he'd start with something easier, and work his way back to wendigos. Maybe a black dog. Nothing too complicated, there. It was corporeal and would keel over dead, assisted by a regulation bullet or two.
Yeah, a black dog, pretty routine, although it'd been a while since they—since the last black dog, which hadn't even been a black dog, it'd been a hellhound.
Dean cranked the volume up full blast, not wanting to be dragged into that memory. But it was too late; already he heard the words of the Crossroads Demon, trapped under the water tower by Lloyd's Bar:
"Your father made a deal for you."
It was absolute confirmation of what he'd feared all along, and the knowledge that started this whole, miserable road to Hell and back...and coming soon: the Apocalypse.
Enough! Dean slammed a hand against the steering wheel, and ignored the brittle, loud crack it produced in the passengerless vehicle. To hell with the hunt, what he needed was a drink. Dean paid more attention to the road, eyes peeled for the next exit sign.
Sure enough, exit 42 popped up a few miles later, preceded by a blue FOOD GAS LODGING sign. Without another thought, Dean took the exit. The frontage road veered off into dark woodsy-looking land, with a sudden cleared space revealing a parking lot and Scandy Randy's Bar & Grill. Dean parked in the mostly-full lot, then crossed quickly to the bar.
It was a typical small country bar with thick wood "log cabin" walls, an impressive array of deer heads, and a long counter along the back wall. The rest of the area was taken up by booths and sturdy oak tables with captain's chairs tucked into their sides.
Dean bellied up to the bar, perusing the substantial number of bottles of vodka, gin, tequila, pick-your-poison that filled three glass shelves in front of the long back mirror.
A couple of guys slid in front of him, taking the last two barstools. A twenty-something blonde barmaid smiled sympathetically as Dean squeezed into the stand-and-order spot at the end of the bar.
"May I take your order, sir?"
Dean caught sight of the advertised special and frowned slightly. He knew more drinks than your average bartending book, but this... "What's a thruple?"
"Oh," she laughed. "That's my boss's attempt at wit. We're doing a special on purple nurples, three shots for seven dollars, so he's calling it a thruple—three purple nurples."
"Awesome. I'll have a thruple, please."
The bartender nodded, turning sharply toward the center of the bar. Dean watched as she grabbed three shot glasses and deftly filled them with a dark purple concoction, squirting from a thin drink dispensing hose. Obviously, the bar had stocked up on their specialty drink. The girl put the shots on a small salver, and then returned to the far end of the bar. She set the deep purple shots one-by-one in front of Dean, and pocketed the ten dollar bill he gave her with a smile after he waved away the change. At least someone was happy.
Dean contemplated the three shots for a second, then grasped the closest one and tossed it back in one satisfying gulp. He picked up the other two shot glasses and made his way across the lively room to slide into an unoccupied booth along the front wall.
Dean gazed at the two purple nurples on the table and then reached for one and gulped it down. The third drink disappeared almost as rapidly. He stared at the two empty shot glasses, thinking about too many things. He tried to compare these to his first, awesome purple nurples, but he couldn't think about that without also thinking about not-Starla and Sa— He threw a quick glance around the room, looking for the bartender.
She must've been keeping an eye out for him, maybe hoping for another fat, juicy tip, because she popped up at his table in no time. "Would you like another, sir?"
"Yeah." Dean fished a credit card from his wallet. "Start a tab."
"Yes, sir." She plucked the credit card from his hands, glanced at the name, "Mr. Bonham."
John Bonham, the alias he'd used and been busted on back in Indiana, the first time Sammy'd—
Dean angrily turned off his thoughts and started thinking with his lower brain. He watched the bargirl's noteworthy backside as she sashayed back to the bar. She'd been even easier on the eyes from the front, wearing a nicely-clinging bright blue t-shirt with Scandy Randy's blazoned across the front and a denim micro-mini skirt. Maybe some feminine company wouldn't go amiss. He could just picture Sam's rolling eyeballs and—
Dean snorted and went back to staring at the empty shot glasses on the table. The drinks couldn't come fast enough.
The pretty blonde returned, placing three purple nurples in front of him, the shot glasses making a neat line toward the center of his table. "Enjoy."
Dean nodded, lifting the first—okay, fourth—drink to his lips before the bartender/waitress had walked away from his table. The shot went down his throat smoothly, settling in his stomach. Scarcely breaking his rhythm, Dean plunked the empty glass down on the table, chugged down the next one, and reached for the third, pausing a moment to survey his environs. After all, he was a hunter; he didn't just lose track of everything and bury himself in a bottle, like Da— He didn't just drink himself into a stupor, even if he had a good reason to, like being deserted by Sa—.
Dean shook his head, grabbed the sixth purple nurple, and swallowed it down.
Setting the shot glass on the table, he licked his lips, actually tasting the flavors in this drink, comparing them to his previous purple nurples back in that bar in Ohio. His pretty bartender appeared tableside. She must have radar, sensing when a patron's drinks glass was empty. He checked out her whole package, and smirked. Or maybe she was just paying close attention to him, like countless other women.
She glanced at his face before asking, "Is anything wrong, sir?"
"These purple nurples," he bypassed that tricky thruple word, not really convinced it was a real word in the first place, "they don't taste like the ones I've had in other bars."
"Well, I can understand that. Randy uses the vodka and DeKuyper's version of purple nurples. You probably had blue Curaçao or maybe even cocoanut rum at the other bars." She smiled. "Just like there's more than one way to skin a cat, there's more than one way to mix a purple nurple."
"Ahh, right. I can taste the vodka," Dean winked because, hell, even teetotalers knew vodka was tasteless, "and the schnapps—blueberry?"
"Close. It's DeKuyper's Wilderberry Schnapps."
"Yeah, right. Another set, please."
The bargirl didn't say anything right away, so Dean fiddled with the empty shot glasses, pushing them away from the center of the table so they clustered around the condiments, close to where the table joined the wall. Minnesota probably had the same restricted drinks-serving law as the other freakin' states, but they'd carried on a credible conversation. "Okay, Mr. Bonham. One more thruple, coming up."
She walked away from the table, returning after a few minutes with a tray bearing a beer pitcher and assorted mixed drinks. She carefully set three shots in front of Dean, and then left.
He scooped up the closest shot glass and downed the purple liquid, not thinking about anything but the alcohol sliding down his throat. He set the shot glass on the table and blinked as it sort of shimmied away from his fingers. Hmm, maybe the alcohol was starting to affect him. The shot glass didn't split into multiple glasses and converge into itself like the kaleidoscope effect he sort of remembered from when he'd been drugged at the Oktoberfest, but it definitely moved. Somewhat. Of its own voli—viola—vola—on its own. Maybe it was time to call for Sa—some backup.
"Cas...t'l," Dean mumbled, maybe slurring the name, just a little. He stared expectantly at the opposite booth, and blinked when it was suddenly occupied by a stranger. "Who th'hell're you?"
"Castle, Richard Castle." The forty-something man's blue eyes met his for a moment, and then Castle glanced around the bar, talking a mile a minute. "Where is this place? It reminds me of the bar I used in Storm on the Mountain... Nice, rugged split-log walls, solid wood bar anchored in the back of the room, animal heads all over the place..." He winced as they heard George Strait singing about his ex's. "Not my favorite type of music, but I had to use it for authenticity, y'know? After all, you're not going to find a local bar in Colorado blaring Styx or Zeppelin. And, honestly, if I made the bar too unique, it would distract from the main focus of the chapter, the bar fight. Which was awesome, by the way, brilliantly choreographed, as the New York Times book reviewer said, if I do say so myself. I didn't even write it from memory, well, unless you count all the old Western bar brawls I watched on TV."
"Stop. You're giving me a headache."
Castle smirked, glancing pointedly at the empty shot glasses congregated next to the sugar and salt. "I don't think I'm what's giving you a headache."
"Who the hell are you?" Dean growled.
"I told you. I'm Castle. Richard Castle—mystery writer extraordinaire."
Dean blinked and looked at his unexpected guest again. The dude did look like that actor from Firefly... Dean remembered watching a few Castle episodes, too, mainly because Kate Beckett was hot, even if she was a cop. Abruptly, Dean realized that Castle was talking again—or still.
"...and then there's the undying popularity of The Passing Storm, where the death of a distant relative leaves Derek Storm in pursuit of his absentee father. It's my second top-grossing novel of all time. Seems like a lot of people have daddy issues." Castle's eyes met his straight on. "But that's not the family member that has you resorting to drink, is it?"
"I don't have to answer to you—you're a figure of my 'magni—imgah-imjana—you're a TV character." Dean's curiosity got the better of him as he tacked on, "And how'd you get here?" The guy certainly didn't sound like an angel, although Dean had only met a handful of the dicks so far. Well, Cas wasn't a dick, but this dude wasn't Castiel, either. So maybe he was a dick; he admitted to being Richard. Ha ha. A little bit of levity over monikers; something that would certainly be appreciated by the Sasqua— "Where'dya come from?"
"I was in a bar in New York," the brown-haired man answered. "Very upscale, not like this joint at all. I didn't have that much to drink, just two appletinis."
"Appletinis?" Dean rolled his eyes; what a girly drink.
"And what are you drinking, purple nurples?" The older man's eyes dismissed him. "Now that's certainly an adult drink."
Dean glared, grabbed his eighth purple nurple without taking his eyes off Castle and tossed back the shot. His eyes shifted to follow the shot glass down as he banged the empty glass on the table. Dean glanced up, smirk already forming on his mouth. He froze as he encountered only empty space where seconds ago Castle had been seated.
Okay, that was weird. Well, weird was normal, so—a different kind of weird, then. Yeah. Non-traditional weird. Dean's head pounded, grappling with the out-of-the-ordinary thinking. Okay, back to the basics, then. What had he been doing, before—before Castle showed up and things got weird?
"Cas…'ie," Dean called, low-voiced, not even noticing his second slip.
Dean blinked and there she was, seated across the table: Cassie Robinson. The only woman he'd lov—he'd come close to loving. "Cassie?" he asked unbelievingly.
Her wide, beautiful brown eyes drank him in. "Dean?" Her voice was throaty, as he remembered it. "I knew the AP wire had it wrong when they reported you and Sam blown up in Monument, Colorado. I knew it just couldn't be true." She smiled at him, tightly curled dark brown hair falling over her shoulders, the sharp, elfin features of her face combining to beam at him with evident happiness. Then a slight frown marred her image. "Why didn't you let me know before this?"
"Couldn't, Cassie. I was wanted by the Feds...didn't want to get you mixed up in that."
"So I was better off thinking you were dead?"
"Yes." Dean answered her honestly, because past incidences told him he couldn't lie to her. But he wasn't telling her the whole story; no way she needed to know he was now wanted by every freakin' demon on Earth, and his allies were few and far between. Cassie wasn't an ally, though. She was a civilian.
"Bullshit." And that was the reporter in Cassie, strong, opinionated, and ready to knock some sense into his head. He did love a feisty woman.
"You were right, Cassie," Dean admitted, knowing she enjoyed having the upper hand and being right about everything, almost as much as Sa— "There's no storybook ending for us."
"I thought you believed in the strange and miraculous?" Cassie chided, forcing him to recall their last parting. She swung her eyes around the bar, and caught him off guard with her change in topic. "Where's Sam?"
"Uh...he's not here."
"I can see that." Cassie sounded just a tad exasperated. "But he should be." She deliberately tapped the fingers of her right hand next to the empty shot glasses. "I know you two keep an eye on each other."
"We split up." Dean frowned; that just sounded—wrong. "Sam's off doing his own thing. It was a mutual decision…"
Sam's words from four years ago swept through him. "Oh. Wow. She dumped you."
"…Like ours was."
"Oh, Dean." Cassie leaned across the table, her face coming closer and closer.
Dean wanted nothing more than to lose himself in her soft, luscious lips, eminently kissable. Even he deserved a little comfort once in a while. He bent forward, closing his eyes as he leaned inward, eagerly awaiting Cassie's kisses.
His forehead thumped on the surface of the tabletop. Dean's eyes sprang open and he tilted his head to the right, so he could see the liquid in the last filled shot glass, still sloshing around the glass from the force of his impact with the table.
Dean raised his head gingerly. "Cas—ti—el."
Nothing. Dean frowned, certain he'd said the angel's name correctly this time. Why wasn't the feathered wonder sitting across from him? Oh. That's right. Cas couldn't find him, thanks to those Enochian symbols carved on his ribs. Dean groaned, he really shouldn't've thought about that because, all of a sudden, his ribs tingled like they were belatedly objecting to the carvings on them, not that he remembered them hurting at the time. Cas had just touched him and said they were safe from angel's eyes.
Dean snorted. "Safe" wasn't a word Winchesters put a whole lot of stock in.
He hastily reached for and dispatched the last purple nurple. Wasn't nine supposed to be the magic number?
Dean trailed his eyes around the bar, dismayed to find that the room still spun after he pinned his gaze on the closed front doors. Now he really needed Sa—backup. He fumbled his cell phone from his pocket—he felt like freakin' ET having to phone home. Dean flipped through his speed dial numbers, ignoring Number One—SAM—and engaging Number Four—CAL. Castiel, Angel of the Lord. "Cas?"
"Dean? Where are you?" Castiel's voice sounded reassuringly monotonous.
"N'a bar'n Minnesota."
"Minnesota's a large state." Castiel stated the obvious. "Can you be more precise in your location?"
"'Na bar, Scar—Rad Skare Skinny," Dean struggled with the bar name, breathing a sigh of relief as his favorite bargirl approached the table. "Scan-dy Ran-dy'z Bar 'n Grill," he read slowly off her t-shirt as she obligingly lingered at his table.
"What town is this bar in?" Castiel patiently inquired.
Dean blinked; he had no idea. "Ah, miss?" The small lettering on her nametag was beyond his current deciphering abilities. "C'n you tell m'friend where we are?" He held out his cell phone.
The girl grasped the phone and brought it to her face. "This is Scandy Randy's Bar & Grill. We're located just off highway 35, exit 42... Okay, I'll tell him." She handed the phone back to Dean. "Your friend says he'll be here shortly. Now, may I close out your tab, Mr. Bonham?"
"Please."
"Be right back." She glanced at the tabletop, crowded with empty shot glasses. She stacked the closest ones into a column, the clink-clink-clink of the glasses causing Dean to wince as she walked away. Seconds later, Castiel appeared, dressed in his obligatory rumpled trench coat, with some parts of his black accountant's suit visible beneath it.
"Cas!" Dean greeted enthusiastically, pleased that he'd finally correctly summoned his angel.
"Dean," Castiel answered levelly. "Why are you here alone? Where is Sam?"
"Damn." Somehow, Dean thought Castiel already knew about Sam's...abdicating his duties. "He's taking a breather, backing away from hunting."
Castiel frowned. "Is that wise?"
Dean shrugged. "It's what he wants to do. I'm not stopping him. At River Pass, I spent more time worrying about him than the hunt, and all the innocent people affected by it. I can't operate like that, not now. The stakes are too high." Damn, he didn't sound the least bit drunk. Life, Winchester-style, had a way of sobering a dude up, quickly. If Castiel noticed he didn't say Sa—his brother's name, the angel wasn't making a big deal about it. Not that Cas made a big deal out of anything. Well, except his quest to find his Father. Sheesh, Dean could tell him a whole lot about how successful he'd been on that particular quest—
He suddenly realized Cas was talking.
"Here." Castiel held out the credit card slip and Bonham's credit card in his hand. "The young lady dropped this off."
Dean muttered a curse, grabbing the slip and awkwardly extracting the pen clipping the receipt and card together. He added a tip, and scrawled a signature on the bottom line.
Cas picked up the credit card, waiting for Dean to take it and shove it into his jacket's pocket. "What have you been drinking?"
"Purple nurples." Dean almost giggled at the uncomprehending expression on Castiel's face. "Nine of them." He poked at one of the empty shot glasses with his index finger, daring Cas to correct his math, since not all the shot glasses were present on the table.
"Oh." Castiel's solemn blue eyes met his. "Then you're not driving."
"Th'hell I'm not. Not letting you drive my baby, that's f'r sure."
"Dean." Castiel's tone exuded patience. "I've been observing mankind on Earth for two millennia—and I've been acquainted with the basics of the automobile for over a century. I'm more than capable of driving the Impala the few blocks necessary to check in to the nearest motel."
"Well, when you put it like that," Dean muttered vaguely, not admitting he'd gotten lost in Castiel's lengthy explanation, the monotonous drone linking the words into a multi-syllabic sludge.
Castiel extended his hand, palm up. "Keys."
"Bossy angel," Dean grumbled under his breath, slowly producing his car keys and handing them to Castiel. Dean jerked to his feet, certain Cas would follow, as he made his way toward the bar's exit, the Impala, and the nearest motel room.
The nearest Sam-less motel room. Have to remember to get a single; it's cheaper. Dean savagely yanked open the passenger door and collapsed into the seat, murmuring a soft "sorry, girl" as he closed his door. Seconds later, he heard Cas open the driver's door and get inside.
Cas started the engine, and Dean tried to distract himself from the angel driving his Impala by flipping on the radio. Bad move. "I ain't missing you at all, since you've been gone away. I ain't missing you..."
Dean groaned, closed his eyes and didn't think of Sam, alone in his own motel room—somewhere.

Musk Claims Risk Of His Assassination Is 'Quite Significant' Following Release Of 'Twitter Files'
December 5, 2022 Jack Bazeur News, World 0
Twitter chief Elon Musk has claimed the risk of his assassination is now 'quite significant' following release of the first installment of the 'Twitter Files' that focused on the Hunter Biden coverup
During a two-hour Q&A on Twitter Spaces, the worlds richest man said he would definitely not 'be doing any open-air car parades, let me put it that way". He also told his audience that he did not think about taking his own life: "If I killed myself, it wasn't really me"
"Frankly the risk of something bad happening to me, or even literally being shot, is quite significant," Musk said.
He then added "It's not that hard to kill somebody if you wanted to, so hopefully they don't, and fate smiles upon the situation with me and it does not happen … There's definitely some risk there."
The Mail Online reports: Musk's comments came after Friday evening's inaugural installment of what has been dubbed the Twitter Files – an unfettered inside look into corporate communications at Twitter over the last handful of years, including during some of the company's most controversial moments.
Musk granted journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss full access to the delicate subject matter, which he said ultimately 'might make sense to have…publicly available so that anyone can look at them.'
But for now, it is up to the chosen news professionals to analyze and release choice parts from the treasure trove.
Kicking things off Friday evening, Taibbi published a thread that provided insight into the suppression of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story that the New York Post first published in October 2020, just before the last presidential election.
'What you're about to read is the first installment in a series, based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter,' wrote Taibbi. 'The Twitter Files, Part One: How and Why Twitter Blocked the Hunter Biden Laptop Story.'
The emails contained back-and-forths between various members of Twitter's content moderation team that ultimately led to the shaky decision to ban the story without consulting co-founder and then-CEO, Jack Dorsey.

Q: Unable to compile react application as it says "Module not found" I have been trying to execute a very simple react application, but for some reason I'm unable to compile it. When i try to compile it in bash using "npm start", i get the error stating "Failed to compile: ./src/index.js
Module not found: Can't resolve './registerServiceWorker' in '/Users/Pruthvi/Desktop/ReactApplication/my-app/src'"
can anybody help me as I am a new bee to react application!

A: By default, create-react-app will create a progressive web app, as documented here. The progressive web app relies on registerServiceWorker() in the registerServiceWorker.js file. You have apparently deleted this file, so your project no longer builds.
You have two choices:

*

*Keep your project as a progressive web app, in which case you should simply restore the original state you had after first creating.

*Opt out of the progressive web app features.

In order to opt out of the progressive web app features, you need to modify your src/index.js file as follows:

*

*Delete the import of the registerServiceWorker.

*Delete the registerServiceWorker() call.

Your src/index.js will then look like this:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
// Deleted -- import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
// Deleted -- registerServiceWorker();

Once you've made those modifications to your index.js, you can safely delete the registerServiceWorker.js file (which it appears you've already done based on the error message you've posted).
The documentation gives a more complete description of how to opt out and some of the consequences of having a progressive web app.

A: If you are new to react and need to build apps fast you can try
create-react-app by facebook
it a command line tool that will help you build better react app fast with zero configuration you can learn more from the link above and its easy to use
also make sure that you use a good editor that can help you catch errors
and to help you and give you good answer the second time please provide your code to understand the problem well .

Greek unions organize nationwide strike against austerity measures
ATHENS - Reuters

Greek workers held a nationwide strike against wage cuts and high taxes yesterday, keeping ferries stuck in ports, schools shut and hospitals with only emergency staff.
The two biggest labour unions brought much of crisis-hit Greece to a standstill during the 24-hour protest against austerity policies which they say deepen the hardship of people struggling through the country's worst peacetime downturn.
Representing 2.5 million workers, the unions have gone on strike repeatedly since a debt crisis erupted in late 2009, testing the government's will to impose the painful conditions of an international bailout in the face of growing public anger.
"Today's strike is a new effort to get rid of the bailout deal and those who take advantage of the people and bring only misery," said Ilias Iliopoulos, secretary general of the ADEDY public sector union which is organising the walkout with private sector union GSEE.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's eight-month-old coalition government has been eager to show it will implement reforms it promised the European Union and International Monetary Fund, which have bailed Athens out twice with over 200 billion euros.
It has taken a tough line on striking workers, invoking emergency laws twice this year to order seamen and subway workers back to their jobs after week-long walkouts that paralysed public transport in Athensand led to food shortages on islands.
But in a sign it may be buckling under pressure, it announced on Feb. 18 it would not fire almost 1,900 civil servants earmarked for possible dismissal, despite promising foreign lenders it would seek to cut the public payroll.
Greece secured bailout funds in December, ending months of uncertainty over the country's future in the euro zone, and analysts said this had created expectations among Greeks that things would improve for them personally.
"If these expectations are not satisfied by the summer, then whatever is left of the working class will respond with more protests," said Costas Panagopoulos, head of Alco pollsters.
Greece's economy has shrunk by about 20 percent since the recession began in 2008, with its downturn exacerbated by fiscal austerity demanded by its international lenders to shore up public finances and attain a primary budget surplus in 2013.
Six years of recession and three of austerity have tripled the rate of unemployment to 27 percent. More than 60 percent of young workers are jobless.
Hollande's visit
French President François Hollande used a visit to hard-hit Greece on Feb. 19 to press his pro-growth agenda, saying fiscal reform could not be achieved by austerity alone.
He offered to help the twice bailed-out country - in a deep economic depression - with privatizations, tourism and a public sector overhaul.
"We must make sure that growth and jobs come back in Greece," Hollande said. "We need more growth in Europe. That's how we'll reach our public deficit reduction goals."
Athens, whose euro zone partners and the International Monetary Fund unlocked bailout aid in December after a six-month stalemate, hopes Hollande's one-day visit will spur badly-needed investments to ease record-high unemployment.
The two leaders also signed an agreement to boost the flow of French tourists to Greece.
With Greek journalists on a 24-hour, anti-austerity strike, Hollande's visit was not getting extensive local coverage.
