On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death (on May 2, 1519), Sky – with Progetto Immagine – produces a new art movie: AMAZING, LEONARDO, that will be distributed in Italian cinemas during 2019 by Lucky Red and afterwards internationally by True Colours.
"Amazing Leonardo" will be presented in a world premiere at the Los Angeles, Italia Festival during the opening evening on February 17 at the TLC Chinese Theatre in Hollywood: the director Jesus Garces Lambert, actress Angela Fontana (playing Cecilia Gallerani) and Cosetta Lagani, the mastermind behind the movie (together with Sara Mosetti) and artistic director of this project and of Sky's previous art movies, will introduce some exclusive clips of the movie.
Luca Argentero plays Leonardo da Vinci, it's the first time the Italian actor plays the part of a real person in a biographical art movie. Angela Fontana is Cecilia Gallerani and Massimo De Lorenzo plays Ludovico il Moro. The storyteller is Francesco Pannofino. The director of the movie is Jesus Garces Lambert, who also directed Sky's art movie "Caravaggio – l'anima e il sangue" (the blockbuster of Italian art movies in Italy and winner of the Golden Globe) and recently selected by Forbes as one of the most creative Mexican personalities of 2018, alongside, among others, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro González Iñárritu. The screenplay is by Sara Mosetti and Marcello Olivieri. Pietro C. Marani is the science advisor. Daniele Ciprì is the director of photography.
The movie is an immersive and incredible journey inside Leonardo da Vinci's mind, to discover the man, the artist, the scientist, the inventor, one of the most brilliant figures of the history of humanity, known to all for "the most famous painting in the world", the Mona Lisa. A new glance very far from the stereotypes with which usually Leonardo's genius is described.
Two more Sky art movies will be screened at the Los Angeles, Italia Festival: on Sunday February 17, "Michelangelo, Infinito", with Enrico Lo Verso and Ivano Marescotti and the direction of Emanuele Imbucci, that recorded excellent results in Italy and a great success among the public and that now begins its journey all over the world and, on Monday February 18, "Caravaggio, il sangue e l'anima", already distributed in 50 countries around the world and which will make its debut in cinemas across the US on March 12, 2019 distributed By Experience.
The movie "Amazing Leonardo" is a Sky original production with Progetto Immagine. It benefits from the Patronage of the Comitato Nazionale per le Celebrazioni dei 500 anni dalla morte di Leonardo da Vinci e del Comitato Scientifico del Palinsesto Milano Leonardo 500 and of the Acknowledgement of the European Year of Cultural Heritage.

Nikol Pashinyan expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of subvention programs in Yeghegnadzor
ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the eve of a working visit to Vayots Dzor Oblast, where the head of government got acquainted with the process of implementing subvention and other programs in Vayk and Yeghegnadzor communities.
According to the Prime Minister's press service, Pashinyan visited the Vayk Innovation Resource Center, where robotics is taught. 10 students are studying at the center and there is an opportunity to accept 10 more students. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of attracting new students to the robotics club and expressed his readiness to finance their annual training.
The head of government also visited the city table tennis school, kindergarten and familiarized with the conditions. Mayor Wajka noted that the city did not have the opportunity to submit applications for subvention programs this year, however, as a result of solving financial problems next year various programs will be presented. Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the importance of implementing programs in various directions in the community and noted that they should be aimed at enhancing life in the city and creating favorable conditions for people.
It should be noted that in Yeghegnadzor Pashinyan got acquainted with the process of restoration of courtyards and city lighting projects implemented within the framework of subvention programs. The head of government was openly enraged by what he saw. So, Pashinyan found out that the destroyed road along which the delegation was walking was built according to a subvention program. The prime minister specified with the mayor whether the work on the construction and improvement of the road has actually been completed. The mayor noted that only small details remained. The response of the mayor Yeghegnadzor pissed off the prime minister. He demanded to explain how it is possible to carry out the procedure for accepting the road construction project if the landscaping of sidewalks was not taken into account. He asked who carried out technical supervision, noting that "something is unclean here." After that, Pashinyan went to one of the yards, which was also landscaped as part of the subvention program. There he was hated by hatches covered with ordinary sheet metal, old arbors and rubbish. "If you carry out work, then you need to do it efficiently. Everything has been done in a nutshell, in a hurry. Do you consider this a beautification?" - He turned to the mayor.

World Women 17 conference
A breathable wrap that keeps avocado green for four days, rather than it browning straight away was an idea that may have languished, were it not for the intervention of fund helping women entrepreneurs grow their start-ups.
Established by Toronto-based Vicki Salmon, SheEO venture capital fund uses money invested mainly by other women.
Salmon, a keynote speaker at the World Women 17 conference in Auckland this weekend, said the woman behind the alternative plastic avocado wrap did not have the necessary support until SheEO stepped in.
"When she got selected in our network there was massive interest in this. Everyone told her it was the greatest thing ... [and] she started to believe she had something really amazing."
Former Telecom chief executive Theresa Gattung organized the conference and said she wanted to bring the SheEO model to New Zealand.
She said while women founded more than half of businesses, they received only 5 to 10 percent of risk capital. "It's just incredibly difficult to be funded as a female entrepreneur."
Men dominated the venture capital industry. They were more interested in chasing so-called unicorns, a start-up company valued at over $1 billion, Salmon said.
"Eighty-five percent of companies founded by women stay under $1 million in revenue.
"This is because it's hard to get capital so we don't even bother looking for it. We basically keep our heads down, build what we can and keep our businesses small."
"There are so many incredible business ideas out there ... that, with a bit of an injection of capital, could grow and create more sustainable jobs and, I think, really strengthen the economy," she said.
Started in 2015, SheEO gets at least 500 women to invest $1000 each into a portfolio to support five start-ups. The low-interest loans were paid back in 20 equal installments over five years.
The criteria for selection was strict.
The organization must have revenue of at least $50,000, be majority owned and led by women, and show "how they are a new model or a new mindset or a new solution for a better world."
Salmon said $100,000 had already been paid back, allowing them to fund another company this year.
"This idea [is] creating a perpetual fund that we hand on to our daughters, our granddaughters and our great granddaughters, because capital ... is meant to be in flow."
It was more than a cash injection. The investors became the entrepreneurs' mentors and coaches.
SheEO aims to have 1 million women in the network, which would create a billion dollar global fund.
Gattung said the SheEO model had sparked a great deal of interest in New Zealand, with 450 women attending the conference.
"Women running growth-oriented businesses don't want to ask men for permission to create billions of dollars," she said.
"We want to create wealth generated by women for women, for the good of everyone. We can do it for ourselves."

There are two major postconciliar Office resources that are important for Gregorian chant.
Liber Hymnarius. This 1983 "hymn book" (G-2949) has all the Office hymns, which are now identical for the Roman and the Benedictine office. The melodies are restored to their original form, as are the texts, as called for by the Second Vatican Council. (If one is singing a well-known hymn such as Conditor alme siderum or Veni, Creator Spiritus in Latin or English, it would be best to use the melodic version of the Liber Hymnarius.) Especially important is the revised four-line notation of this book and the explanation of it (in Latin) in the foreword. The revised notation conveys much of the subtlety of the early neumes, and it makes clear that chant should be sung with the flexibility of speech-based rhythm rather than with equal rhythmic values. This revised notation will no doubt be employed when the reformed Roman antiphonale and the revised Graduale Romanum finally appear.
Antiphonale Monasticum. Beginning in 2005, one volume per year of this four-volume edition has appeared. It provides a wealth of resources for various ways of celebrating the monastic Office in Latin. One controversial decision was not to include rhythmic signs (such as the horizontal episema) based on early manuscripts; many singers will regret their absence. It would be most helpful to have these interpretive indications, especially since they were part of the revised notation of the Liber Hymnarius.
Many of the options in the reformed monastic Office are similar to the reformed Roman Office, and by using this edition along with the 1912 antiphonale, one could find almost everything for chanting the reformed Roman Office in Latin. Since this edition includes antiphons for the Sunday Benedictus and Magnificat tied to the three-year Mass lectionary gospel readings, one could freely use these antiphons with psalm verses at Sunday Mass and have Gregorian chant perfectly connected thematically with the liturgy.
It is rather rare today to sing the Office in Latin (or, for that matter, in English). But it is important to know about the recent Office chant books, because they represent recent chant scholarship and developments, and also because the flexibility of the reformed liturgy allows for borrowing back and forth between Office and Mass music. Some might also want to know about the Office chants for the inclusion of some Latin when the Liturgy of the Hours is sung predominantly in English.
The customary name for an Office books is an antiphonale ("antiphoner" in English), named because it includes so many psalm antiphons. An antiphonale contains everything for the Liturgy of the Hours—basic service music for the dialogs and responses, a hymn for each hour, antiphons for singing before and after each psalm, gospel canticles with their antiphons, and Marian antiphons customarily sung after compline.

A puppy who was born without functional front legs has found a new home and new way to get around after being abandoned on the streets of San Francisco.
Daffodil, as the Chihuahua was named, was brought to the San Francisco SPCA by a good Samaritan who found her near a busy intersection. She had been left in a soggy cardboard box, the man told the shelter, and even though some people would stop as they noticed her, they would quickly walk away after noticing her birth defect. The young man brought the dog to the shelter when he realized she needed more care than he could provide.
The San Francisco SPCA was able to get Daffodil a custom-built prosthetic to help her get around and now the little pup is scooting around with all the enthusiasm and energy of a normal puppy.
They need you. We need you. You can make a difference.
As the largest animal welfare organization on the West Coast, the San Francisco SPCA relies on the assistance of caring, hardworking volunteers in all our programs. You can help us reach our goal to end animal abandonment in San Francisco by 2020.

The Grand America Hotel
2012 / February 2012
Arrival/Check-in: Upon our arrival, a doorman came out to welcome and usher us inside for a speedy registration. Salt Lake City's only 5-star hotel earns the "grand" in its name. Built for Utah's 2002 Olympic Games, it was designed and furnished with artwork and antiques personally selected by owners Earl and Carol Holding, who traveled the world not only to select specific pieces but also to oversee artisans' crafting of custom furnishings and architectural details. In the entry, magnificent, handwoven Aubusson tapestries hang behind the registration and concierge desks; the gray and white Italian Fior di Pesco marble floor and walls are book- and end-matched; a Barovier and Tosso chandelier, custom-crafted from handblown Murano glass, shines above an Italian gold-leaf credenza with a green marble top. Such art and antique riches accent all public spaces.
Guest Quarters: Our 14th-floor, executive king suite had an entry area with a closet and a spacious living room with a richly upholstered sofa bookended by tables and grouped with armchairs around a coffee table, all within view of the large-screen TV hidden in a cabinet. A wall of draped glass windows included doors opening onto a balcony. French doors opened to the bedroom, which included another flat-screen TV. A walk-in closet area with shelving, safe and large vanity sink separated the bedroom from the Italian marble bath, with separate bathtub and glass shower and a water closet.
Original artwork accented the walls; English wool carpeted the bedroom and living room floors; down comforters and pillows topped the bed. We found outlets plentiful, both by the elegant desk and throughout the room; and excellent lighting, with most lamps having three settings. The whole room was elegant, inviting and extremely comfortable. All rooms have marble baths, dual-line phones and free WiFi.
I toured the hotel's smallest room, which at 700 square feet is extremely spacious but lacks French doors separating the bedroom from the seating area. Suites with kitchens are also available.
Services/Amenities: We ordered a light, room service dinner. When I requested two forks to split an entrée salad, the order-taker asked if we wanted it split on two plates. Perfect! It arrived, as promised, within 45 minutes. As we waited for dinner, an attendant offered turndown, which included chocolates, plush robes and slippers.
The Grand America has a full-service spa; a well-equipped fitness center; indoor and outdoor heated pools; a business center; a men's haberdashery; a women's boutique; a French patisserie shop with homemade ice cream, pastries and chocolates; and a truly imaginative and engaging toy store. There are three dining options: the Garden Café restaurant; the Lobby Lounge, where afternoon tea is served daily; and the Gibson Girl Lounge, with a big-screen plasma TV. Complimentary coffee is available in the lobby in the morning but, alas, not tea.
Information about the hotel's art is available from the concierge. Among other significant pieces are the largest handcrafted bronze and crystal Moscatelli chandeliers ever made, oils by Henri Bouvet, a Napolean III Boule clock, a 19th-century Louis XVI gold-leaf mirror, Besler botanicals, and handtinted Audubon lithographs.
The Experience: Staying at The Grand America is an immersion into Old World European elegance without stuffiness, complemented by topnotch service and exceptional amenities.

They called us to come in early, which sent my anxiety sky high!
His lung tumor is slightly larger and it continues to be active cancer. He will have a month off from chemo to allow his blood counts to recover. They haven't received the final results on the PET scan yet to know how much the tumor has grown.
Robbie signed paperwork for testing for a clinical trial with immunotherapy. He has to meet qualifications or they will do a different treatment. They will test his tumor and bloodwork to see if he matches the study.
Robbie will also meet with a lung surgeon to see if he qualifies for lung surgery to remove the tumors.
Been thinking of you all, wondering what Wed would bring. I do so hope he will be a candidate for surgery. How soon can he start immunotherapy? Will it supercede the trip? We're sending a contribution for the trip (or however you wish to use it.) I have to find your address! So many prayers and optmism are coming with this text. I so admire your strength, but take time for yourself, too.
Gods blessings and healing powers comi g your way. Go get em Robbie.
I have read the most amazing articles about immunotherapy in the past 6 months! Praying he is a match for that study.


The notion that an academic would work nights in a manual labor job for low wages stuck with Makkar, a Sikh whose family emigrated from India in 1988 when he was six years old. He later moved to West Michigan, founding Rishi's International Beverage, a retailer of craft beer, wine and spirits in 1999. The company currently operates stores in Grand Rapids and Cascade.
While noting the West Michigan community has welcomed his family with open arms, Makkar says he is disturbed by anti-immigration rhetoric and policies on a national level since President Donald Trump took office last month.
Makkar points to the potential for fallout from the Trump's travel ban in late January that temporarily barred immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries for 90 days, refugees for 120 days, and Syrian refugees indefinitely.
While the federal courts have issued a stay on the travel ban, Makkar fears the damage to the country's reputation, specifically its ability to attract international talent, has already been done.
Many local business leaders share Makkar's concern, noting the fallout from the travel ban will ultimately undermine efforts by businesses to expand, and for the state to expand its tax base.
While the majority of sources interviewed for this report acknowledge the importance of maintaining secure borders, their largest concerns stem from the ability of local employers to attract and retain foreign talent.
Clark said the majority of calls she received following the travel ban are either from those immigrants fearful of what may happen, or from those hoping to expedite their process for securing citizenship, which can take over a decade in some cases.
Any industry with advanced research and design or other top-tier positions may be primed to lose out on highly-skilled immigrants in the wake of the travel ban, particularly those in the medical and technology industries, sources said.
On a state level, immigrants make up 25.3 percent of Michigan's technology industry, according to a report published by the Michigan Office For New Americans (MONA) in August 2016.
MONA formed in 2014 under an order by Gov. Rick Snyder to support immigration efforts. The agency operates under the state's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
Outside of Michigan, a coalition of Silicon Valley tech giants including Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Tesla, Google, Uber and Intel joined nearly 130 other companies in filing an amicus brief earlier this month with the U.S. Court of Appeals arguing against the travel ban, according to reports. The companies stated that the travel ban could hurt their business on multiple fronts, including discouraging "world-class talent" from working with U.S. firms, according to the brief.
There's also concern in the market that the pool of migrant farm labor could be affected under the Trump administration's protectionist policies, according to Varnum's Clark.
Many Michigan farmers already struggle to find enough labor to fill talent needs at harvest time, said Birgit Klohs, president and CEO of The Right Place Inc., a Grand Rapids-based economic development firm.
Immigrants' contributions go far beyond supplying U.S. firms with highly-skilled talent. Once here, sources said immigrants often become pillars of their local communities, paying taxes and purchasing goods from local businesses.
The MONA report, which focused on the contributions of immigrants to the state's economy, showed immigrants in Michigan earned $19.6 billion in income in 2014 and paid $5.4 billion in taxes.
Even with the rhetoric surrounding immigration on the federal level, state officials plan to continue encouraging immigration to Michigan.
Despite the recent furor over immigration policy, companies have struggled for years to source enough labor under the federal H1B visa program, which allows businesses to hire highly specialized talent from overseas.
The program issues 69,000 visas a year starting in October, the majority of which are used by large technology firms, putting smaller companies at a disadvantage, Klohs said. The issue highlights the need for "true immigration reform," she said.
Doug DeVos, president of Ada-based direct-selling giant Amway Corp., echoes concerns over the limited scope of the H1B visa program, adding that his company previously has pushed to expand it. Amway hires many foreign nationals in its research and design departments.
For Klohs, who emigrated from Germany and built her career in West Michigan, immigration is a deeply personal issue.
Editor's Note: A previous version of this story mistakenly noted that Rishi Makkar grew up in Lansing and that his father worked at Michigan State University. Makkar grew up in Kalamazoo and his father chaired the Criminal Justice Department at Western Michigan University. Makkar attended Michigan State University.

If you're driving a used or older car, your top priority should be maintaining its good condition. Filters, tires, fluids, and more must be minded as your car ages, and other updates and maintenance will be important, as well. For drivers of used or older cars, we've found seven ways to make it feel like it's brand new. To enjoy your time on the road and help your car feel young again, use our tips and tricks.
Deodorizing your car's air conditioner is an often forgotten way to update an older car. A detailing shop or mechanic will be able to deodorize and de-mold your car's unit, and your car will smell like new. If you or others have smoked cigarettes in the car, make sure also to vacuum and fumegate your car's interior.
Replacing your car's electronic system(s) can be expensive, but will provide your old car with an updated look and sound. Replacing bum speakers and updating your dashboard will give your car a hint of youth. Avoid subwoofers and garish systems — they're juvenile and annoying to other drivers. And if you're doing it on the cheap, simply replacing your tape deck with a USB hookup will take you from retro to nouveau.
Or, better yet, replace them. New tires improve gas mileage and keep you safe on the road. Dry rot and mold can accumulate in old tires, making a used car dangerous during drive time. Have your tires straightened to reset your alignment, and enjoy the increase in the quality of your ride.
Air filters (as well as oil and water filters) become clogged and obsolete over time. Get a breath of fresh air to your aging engine by replacing or cleaning relevant filters every 15,000 miles. Exhaust systems are expensive to purchase new — a good cleaning can do the trick on a budget. It's possible to do it yourself, but a mechanic will perform the tasks quickly and thoroughly.
If your old car was a vampire, it would be thirsty for new blood. Instead, it just wants some fresh fluids. Power steering and brake fluid can become contaminated with age. Flush all the fluids in your old car to have it running like new. Motor oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and other fluids should be flushed and reset when approaching the 100,000-mile mark.
Think of it like a colonic for your car. If you can't get the check engine light off, replace your catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. Mufflers often need replacing in older cars, as well. This can be done cheaply and all at once, and helps to declog your engine and improve the smoothness of your ride. If you want your engine to last you for another 100,000 miles, replacing small parts often is key.
Replacing your headlights or their casing can update an old car. Clean or replace your headlamps every few years to get maximum brightness. An updated headlight makes your car look newer and nicer, especially at night.

Actor Luke Perry has died after suffering stroke.
Luke Perry, who gained instant heartthrob status as wealthy rebel Dylan McKay on "Beverly Hills, 90210," died Monday after suffering a massive stroke, his publicist said.
Perry was surrounded by family and friends when he died, publicist Arnold Robinson said.
The actor had been hospitalized since last Wednesday, after a 911 call summoned medical help to his home in the Sherman Oaks section of Los Angeles.
At Perry's bedside were his children, Jake and Sophie; fiancee Wendy Madison Bauer and his former wife, Minnie Sharp.
Born and raised in rural Fredericktown, Ohio, Perry gained fame on "Beverly Hills, 90210," which ran from 1990 to 2000. "90210" co-star Ian Ziering paid tribute to his co-star on Twitter, where six of the worldwide top trending topics Monday morning were Perry-related.
"I will forever bask in the loving memories we've shared over the last thirty years," Ziering said.
"May your journey forward be enriched by the magnificent souls who have passed before you, just like you have done here, for those you leave behind."
Perry has had roles in a handful of films, including "The Fifth Element," `'8 Seconds" and "American Strays."
He appeared in HBO's prison drama "Oz" and voiced cartoons like "The Incredible Hulk" and "Mortal Kombat."
In recent years he starred in the series "Ties That Bind" and "Body of Proof."

Why Descriptive and Laudatory Trademarks Cannot Be Registered
Great Idea, But Bad News
You might have been sitting around with a bunch of friends over dinner. One of your friends points at the chicken and says, "Why don't we just register a brand of chicken called The Good Chicken?" And the bunch of friends laughs and applauds the idea.
Your friend goes home, sobers up, and starts to think about The Good Chicken. It's such a great idea. He wonders why nobody ever registered "The Good Chicken" before. Surely it deserves to be registered and made the basis of a great marketing campaign! He closes his eyes and he can see it: Lines of people just queueing up outside of his chicken restaurant, just to get a taste of The Good Chicken. The daily special? Damn Good Chicken. The weekend special? Superbly Good Chicky Chicken.
So he hires a trademark agent, who takes a look at the proposed trademark, and smiles somewhat sheepishly. "You sure you want this?" the trademark agent asks. "Why yessirree," goes your friend. "And I'd like fries to go along with it, if possible." The trademark agent smiles sheepishly again and goes off to do his thing.
Two months later the trademark agent is back. "Sir", he says rather slowly, "the trademark office has rejected your application because of the laudatory and descriptive nature of your proposed trademark. I'm afraid that you'll need to think of a new trademark or appeal."
Your friend is stunned. What! he wonders. The Good Chicken is a good trademark. Why not?
Here is why not.
No-no #1: Descriptive Trademark
Think about it. "The Good Chicken" is your friend's trademark. Does it describe anything? In the English language, the noun comes after the adjective. The last word is the noun. And the noun is "Chicken". So this is a mark that will be used to market….. chickens!
That's precisely the problem, because if your friend is allowed to registered "Chicken" for his brand of chicken / poultry, no other chicken / poultry brand can use the word "Chicken". And that would be disastrous for them!
So that's why your friend cannot use a descriptive trademark. Another example I once learned was the case of the toothpaste brand that was marketed with a logo depicting — no surprises here — trademark being squeezed unto a toothbrush. If that trademark application had gone through, others could have been prevented from showing that image on their trade packaging, printed materials, et cetera. It would have been bad for the toothpaste industry.
No-no #2: Laudatory Trademark
Let's go back to the trademark: "The Good Chicken". See that word in the middle? "Good", means positivity, and it means superiority. It means that the product is being lauded as a superior offering. "Good Chicken" implies that other chickens being sold are not "good". And what is not good is often mediocre, if not outright bad. (It could also be not "good" because it is more than good, i.e. superb or fantastic or wonderful…. but those would be descriptive as well.)
So, by calling his brand the "Good Chicken", his competitors are at a disadvantage. Unless they invalidate his trademark, theirs would be perceived as not "good". Unless, they start using laudatory words like wonderful, fantastic, or superb. And if that happens, it will be a war of self-laudatory words. Each describing his own or her own as the best.
Fortunately, the law does not allow self-laudatory trademarks to be registered.
In the book by Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist, a character says that "the law is an ass". Fortunately, the law of trademarks does not allow laudatory and self-descriptive trademarks to be registered. This means that the law is not an ass, but a guardian of fairness and equality in the application of wonderful, fantastic and superb trademarks. The trademark law in Malaysia is a Good Law. (Unfortunately, that phrase cannot be registered.)

The retired Algerian officer ignored his country's role in the Western Sahara conflict but criticized the Moroccan government, accusing it of violating UN resolutions.
Rabat – Retired Algerian Major-General Abdelaziz Medjahed used a recent interview with Radio Algerienne to criticize the Moroccan government.
As an example, the former senior military officer referred to Morocco as an enemy of Algeria.
According to Medjahed, Algeria has to choose friends, allies, and partners to isolate its enemies after the crisis.
It is not the first time Medjahed, or other former Algerian officials, has criticized the Moroccan state.
In 2018, the general accused Morocco of drug trafficking and providing Algeria with "all the negative consequences of the consumption" of drugs for young Algerian people.
The former official downplayed Algeria's role in the Western Sahara conflict for years. The Moroccan government has emphasized the importance of Algeria's involvement to finding a mutually acceptable and agreed upon political solution to the dispute.
The Algerian government is, however, taking part in roundtable discussions on the conflict.
Despite Morocco's firm position that Algeria should take responsibility in the conflict, Algeria believes that the solution should be found between Morocco and Polisario.
The Algerian government also ignored Morocco's dialogue initiative in November 2018 from King Mohammed VI, who called on Algeria to engage in a frank and direct dialogue to break the stalemate hindering Maghreb unity.
Amid Algeria's silence on the Moroccan initiative, Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita summoned the Algerian ambassador in Rabat last year to ask him for his country's position on the King's offer. The meeting did not result in any statement from Algeria.

Q: How to check if there is any changes in line items on after submit? I have Po.
I want to check if the item lines have changed on after submit
 function onAction(context) {
        var newRec = context.newRecord;
        var oldRec = context.oldRecord;

        var newCount = newRec.getLineCount({
            sublistId: 'item'
        });

        var oldCount = oldRec.getLineCount({
            sublistId: 'item'
        });

        if (newCount != oldCount) {
            log.debug('result', 'true')
        } else {
            log.debug('result', 'false')
        }

    }

    return {
        onAction: onAction
    }

I did it with count line but I want also to check if there any changes in the line and not only the number of the lines

A: You would need to compare each field you care about on each line.  Here's an example function that returns true/false if any lines were changed by comparing line count, then item, quantity and rate for each line.  You can modify it to meet your needs.
Using some() this way, the first field on the first line that is different will stop the comparison and return true.
function linesChanged(context) {
    const fields = ['item', 'quantity', 'rate'];

    const oldRecord = context.oldRecord;
    const newRecord = context.newRecord;
    const oldLineCount = oldRecord.getLineCount({ sublistId: 'item' });
    const newLineCount = newRecord.getLineCount({ sublistId: 'item' });

    if (oldLineCount !== newLineCount) {
        return true;
    }

    for (let i = 0; i < newLineCount; i++) {
        var lineChanged = fields.some(field => {
            const oldValue = oldRecord.getSublistValue({ sublistId: 'item', fieldId: field, line: i });
            const newValue = newRecord.getSublistValue({ sublistId: 'item', fieldId: field, line: i });

            return oldValue !== newValue;
        });

        if (lineChanged) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Many stock investors are too young to remember Black Monday in October 1987 — why that's a problem
Those who don't remember stock market history will be in for a surprise when the next crash occurs
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)
By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch
At some point over the next century, the stock market will lose more than 20% of its value in a single day. Maybe this doesn't seem like useful advice, but the fact is that you're kidding yourself if you think market crashes of such magnitude won't happen again.
This sobering thought coincides with the 33rd anniversary of the 1987 U.S. stock market crash. On Oct. 19, 1987 — Black Monday — the Dow Jones Industrial Average /zigman2/quotes/210598065/realtime DJIA -0.57% lost 22.6%. It was the worst one-day percentage drop in U.S. stock market history. If a similarly-sized crash were to occur today, it would take about 6,500 points off the Dow in just one trading day.
Many regulatory reforms were instituted in the wake of the 1987 crash (as well as following other big subsequent drops, such as the so-called Flash Crash in May 2010). As a result, many investors have comforted themselves that another crash won't happen.
That's false comfort, according to research conducted by Xavier Gabaix, an economics professor at Harvard University. Two decades ago, along with three physicists at Boston College, he derived a formula that predicts the frequency of big daily changes over long periods of time. Though that frequency is low, it isn't zero.
Read: This is the last chart investors need to see ahead of the 'Black Monday' market crash anniversary
Gabaix and his fellow researchers presented their research in December 2002 in the scientific journal Nature . To appreciate the model's forecasting ability, consider that from that date until now — a period of 17.8 years — the formula would have predicted that there would be three days in which the market rose or fell by at least 10%. How many such days has the S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX -0.72% experienced since December 2002? Three.
This casts a different light on the huge volatility the stock market experienced in March 2020 as the stock market reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic — including the S&P 500's 12% plunge last March 16. People's natural reaction at the time was to focus on the historically unique and idiosyncratic causes of that crash. While understandable, this reaction also overlooked the reality that a drop of such magnitude was inevitable, sooner or later.
Since a 17.8-year period is not long enough to illustrate the predicted frequency of plunges as big as the 1987 Crash, the chart below focuses on the past century. Notice that the researchers' model does an impressively good job of matching what actually happened.
To be sure, the researchers' model doesn't predict when these big daily market changes will take place. It instead specifies their frequency over long periods. So it's entirely possible that Wall Street could go for decades without experiencing another crash like 1987's, or suffer another one in the next year. The point of the model is that, when it does happen, we shouldn't be surprised.
There's a loose analogy here with pandemics. Scientists have been predicting for years that a pandemic was not a matter of if, but when. Yet, since the odds of a pandemic in any given year were so small, it was hard to get many people interested in planning for how to react when the inevitable came to pass. In retrospect, it's clear that we all would have been well served by better planning.
The same goes for investing. It's been more than 30 years since the 1987 Crash. People who belong to generations Y and Z were either not born at that time or not old enough to have any real memories of it. Most Gen Xers were not even out of college. No wonder it's difficult to get most of us to spend much time imagining how we might arrange our portfolios to survive another crash.
In other words, today's market is dominated by investors who are too young to remember the 1987 crash. I'm reminded of what Adam Smith, the pseudonymous author of the late 1960s classic book "The Money Game," called a "kids' market." He used that phrase to refer to speculative bull markets in which the advisers and traders making the most money are those too young to remember prior crashes. "Memory can get in the way of such a jolly market," Smith wrote.
Smith described a friend of his on Wall Street called "The Great Winfield," who exploited kids' markets by only hiring investment managers who were not yet 30 years of age: "The strength of my kids is that they are too young to remember anything bad, and they are making so much money that they feel invincible. Now you know and I know that one day the orchestra will stop playing and the wind will rattle through the broken window panes, and the anticipation of this freezes [the rest of] us" who are old enough to remember."
You might object to this analogy on the grounds that the stock market in March suffered its worst waterfall decline in U.S. history. Surely those memories are still fresh? But that decline is not what Winfield had in mind, since the stock market so quickly recovered. Today's "kid" investors have filed away their memories of what happened in March under the category of "brief pause in the market's inexorable march to new highs." That's hardly the kind of memory the anticipation of which "freezes" us.
Contrast this year with what happened between January 1973 and January 1985. At the end of that 12-year period, according to data from Yale University finance professor (and Nobel laureate) Robert Shiller, the stock market was no higher than where it was at the beginning on a dividend-adjusted and inflation-adjusted basis. Investors who lived through that dozen-year period were so traumatized that many swore off equities for the rest of their lives. The 1987 stock market crash had a similarly traumatic effect.
So if you are old enough to remember the 1987 Crash, memory will serve you well as you judge what kind of risk is appropriate. If you aren't old enough, then you need to pay especially close attention to the academic studies which conclude that another crash is someday inevitable.

The Key to Successfully Working with High-Conflict Couples: Stick to the Basics!
{4:30 minutes to read} The heat is rising. Tension is mounting. A crossroad emerges in the mediation session, and it's unclear which way it will go. Will it turn productive or combative? The best way to ensure a productive session with high-conflict couples is to stick to the basics.
There are 4 principles that will help you through the most challenging sessions with clients:
1. Communication & Understanding
It is important that I, as the mediator, convey and communicate an understanding of where the couple "is" presently. I demonstrate my understanding of where they are coming from and also affirm where they are, as individuals. I do not try to push the couple closer together or attempt to change "where they are." The most critical component is that I demonstrate to them that I understand that they disagree and that this is all right.
With high-conflict couples, it is useful to explore and to help them articulate their motivation to resolve a conflict. By articulating their reasons for wanting to resolve the conflict, and, therefore, understanding it more fully, the couple puts "gas in the tank." As a result, the couple often finds more stamina and commitment to push through the difficulty of resolving hard problems. The mediator can refer back to the expressed motivation at later difficult moments in order to help the parties continue progressing forward.
As the mediator, it is often helpful to share what I am thinking and feeling during my sessions with couples. I do this to engage the couple in mutual decision-making about the trajectory of a session.
For example, it is sometimes unclear whether to move on or to continue mediating a difficult issue between the couple. Instead of making an independent decision as the mediator, I involve the couple in my thought process and negotiate with them about how to solve a particular problem.
If an issue arises that brings up considerable upsets for the parties, sometimes it feels like too much for them and they will tell me to "just move on." That creates a double bind for me as the mediator. On one hand, if I ignore the obvious feeling in the room, I know we will be sweeping an elephant under the rug—and I know that elephants don't stay under rugs. On the other hand, if I ignore their directive, they may feel that I have disconnected from them. There is nowhere for me to go unless I tell them my dilemma and work with them to structure our way through the swirling emotions to reach some foothold where they feel able to move on.
4. The What & The How
In every mediation session, the discussion revolves around concrete content—e.g., parenting, cash flow, etc.—in other words, "The What." The What is the subject matter of divorce. "The How" is the process, the way we work together to move through conflict. It is commonplace to make assumptions about how we're working together without making them explicit. Often, the first potential platform for agreement between the couple is an agreement on The How, i.e., agreeing on a non-adversarial process and being in mediation together.
Working with high-conflict couples can be challenging. By following these basic principles, mediators can help the couple sort out their conflict trap and be more collaborative and forward-thinking. During extremely difficult moments in session, I come back to the present and ask the couple what is going on for each of them, and then how we might move forward. From there, the cycle of productivity picks up where it left off.

How Berner Built a Cannabis Brand Empire
The rapper got his start checking IDs at a pot shop. Now his Cookies brand is baking up a fortune.
By Jonathan Small May 16, 2019
When Berner (née Gilbert Milam Jr) was 18, he worked at the front desk of a cannabis dispensary in the Bay Area, checking IDs and filling out requisition forms. Most teens would view this kind of low-level job as a means to video game money – or possibly some discounted weed. Not Berner. Long before the Green Rush, long before Prop 42 made recreational marijuana legal in his home state, he saw business opportunities on those bland dispensary shelves.
Berner | Facebook
That was 18 years ago. These days Berner has a cannabis, clothing, and lifestyle empire called Cookies, as well as prolific and successful career as a rapper and record label founder.
We sat down with him at the Hall of Flowers show last month to get the scoop on how he grew his business.

What did you learn working at a dispensary?
I went from a front desk guy to budtender to managing the shop. I learned the business 100 percent from the beginning to end, just purchasing, merchandising, quality, flower -- everything about running a cannabis store. It was like going to college, just doing it hands-on.
What was a problem you saw in the industry at that time?
When I was first in the game, I realized early on that there was no brand. It was just people coming in with turkey bags with really good flower. I would have to make a sign for it and display it. I'd get creative with making the signs. If you look at some of the earlier strains, like OG Cush, even Blue Dream, Super Silver Haze, there's no face. There's no identity, there's no story behind it. This was the early 2000s. I was like, "None of this flower is coming in packaging like alcohol or cigarettes or food. One day there's going to be brands out there."

Did that lead to you creating your own brand?
Yeah. Cookies started off as a strain, and then I decided to build a brand around it. I knew we needed our own identity, so I decided to bring it into clothing and music and everything I was doing. It was like a gumbo.
Why did you call it 'Cookies'?
It was from the taste. You know, the first strain tasted like Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. Then we came up with Cherry Pie, Cherry Cush, then, later on, came with the sherbets and enchiladas.
How has your music career tied into your cannabis business?
It just happened naturally. I've been making music for a while and, you know people like to rap about all the new shit, whether it be cars or alcohol or clothes. My thing was weed. I just rapped about the new weed. And naturally, it started building and growing faster than we had ever imagined. It wasn't planned.
What do you make of the business now as compared to when you were first starting?
It's more cutthroat because people have more money, and they can play games. I'm not worried about it. I feel like we started one of the coolest, most unique grassroots brands in the world. I feel like I got a damn good head start and I got a lot of knowledge that's priceless.
Unlike a lot of celebrities with cannabis brands, you seem very involved with the business? Do. Do you make most of the decisions?
Every f***ing decision. That's why my hair is starting to fall out. But I feel like the key to success is being hands-on with your business. If you're not hands-on, a lot of shit will slip through the cracks, and it won't be you anymore. Cookies is me. It's me and my partners' vision, and I make sure to stay in every aspect to keep that vision alive.
How do you balance between the creative and business side of your careers?
I'm Mexican and Italian -- it's just in my blood. But I love this shit. Some people like to sit in the house and drink beer and watch TV. My whole passion is working. I love to work.
No. Maybe like three or four hours a night. My goal is to leave a legacy behind, man. I got a lot of shit I want to get done before I go. So, I look at sleeping as you got to do it, but I'm trying to be grinding as much as I can.
What do you tell people who are trying to get into this game now? Is it too late to get in?
It's never too late. Just know what you want to do and how you're going to do it. Don't try to spread too thin too fast and be passionate about what you're doing. If you're passionate about what you're doing, you could never fail.
Where do you see cannabis in five years? Do you think it's going to be federally legal?
I hope so. I want it to be treated like any other business. I'm a father; I got children. I want to be just like every other businessman. I want to be able to put my money in the bank and buy property for my children and have fun. I feel like, right now, there's this big grey area. And for some reason, the billionaires that come from real estate aren't worried. But I don't come from real estate, I come from the game, so I'm still worried.
Related: 11 Cannabis Predictions for 2019
So, federal legalization will mean two things. 1) That people will be able to experience cannabis normal. 2) I don't have to worry about shit anymore. So, make that shit pop.
Make that shit pop.
Make that shit pop for your boy.

"But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap."
It plagues me to think of all the wide varieties of food that make our lives easier. Sadly, these same foods wreck havoc on our spouses and children's digestive and immune systems leaving them with allergies, food sensitivities, and invisible illnesses. These items that are supposed to make life easier for us do the direct opposite; instead they fill our lives with countless doctors, specialists, or teacher conferences discussing "questionable behavior". We feel at loss, vilified, taken advantage of by our own food industry, yet what steps do we take to counter this? Often none, because of the old adage, "Well, my child won't eat that healthy stuff." Yet, as parents, aren't we supposed to guide our children enticing correct behaviors? Sounds like we are being more compliant by "giving in" instead. And at what costs?

The International Labour Organization says avoid them ifyou suffer from bronchial asthma, cardiovascular, or respiratory problems and emphysema.
tightness of face. Many baby food producers have stopped adding MSG to their products.
Ponceau 4R, Conchineal Red A Food coloring. People who suffer from asthma, rhinitis or urticaria may find their symptoms become worse following consumption of foods containing this coloring.
Potassium nitrate Preservative in cured meats and canned meat products. It can lower the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood; it may combine with other substances to form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic; and it may have an atrophying effect on the adrenal gland.
Propyl p-hydroxybenozoate, propylparaben, and paraben Preservative in cereals, snacks, pate, meat products, confectionery. Parabens have been identified as the cause of chronic dermatitis in numerous instances.
Saccharin & its Na, K and Ca salts Sweetener in diet, and no-sugar products. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has concluded that saccharin is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Sodium metabisulphite Preservative and antioxidant. May provoke life-threatening asthma.

Stannous chloride (tin) Antioxidant and color-retention agent in canned and bottled foods, fruit juices. Acute poisoning has been reported from ingestion of fruit juices containing concentrations of tin greater than 250 mg per liter.
Sulphur dioxide Preservative. Sulphur dioxide reacts with a wide range of substances found in food, including various essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and essential fatty acids. Adverse reactions: bronchial problems particularly in those prone to asthma, hypotension (low blood pressure), flushing tingling sensations or anaphylactic shock. International Labour Organization says to avoid E220 if you suffer from conjunctivitis, bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, or cardiovascular disease.
Sunset Yellow FCF, Orange Yellow S Food coloring. Some animal studies have indicated growth retardation and severe weight loss. People with asthma, rhinitis, or urticaria should avoid this product.
Tartrazine Yellow food coloring. May cause allergic reactions and asthmatic attacks and has been implicated in bouts of hyperactivity disorder in children. Those who suffer from asthma, rhinitis and urticaria may find symptoms worsen after consumption.
These additives list on the top 20 to avoid. There are a multitude of other additives and preservatives that you should investigate. But, this will get you started, ensuring you are reading your labels. One reoccurring issue is asthma and allergies. Does one of your family members have one of these conditions? Besides environmental factors, there is a good possibility the food he/she is ingesting is causing these factors. Unfortunately, you could be contributing to his/her ill health. Be on the look out! Don't be complacent as the Biblical quote states. Lest you reap what yoiu sow and that "trap" may close before you realize.
1. Read labels judiciously. I know it is difficult to rid your house of every product, but by making small changes each week your children will get used to new ideas and food choices.
2. Find where your local Farmer's Market is located. Often, produce is locally grown without pesticides.
3. Get your children involved in meal preparations. Most kids love to cook and will be more apt to eat it if they've prepared it.
4. Make your children conscious of their food choices! Share information on additives and pesticides and how it relates to their health. Teach them how to read food labels. You'll be surprised how involved they get especially if they are aware of the health hazards.
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author. I will make sure to bookmark your blog and will come back sometime soon. I want to encourage continue your great posts, have a nice weekend!

The Francois Fiedler Foundation was established in 2006 to safeguard the life-work of François Fiedler, a Czechoslovakia-born French painter and printmaker. Furthermore, its mission is to spread the study and understanding of modern art and contemporary art.

François Fiedler is one of the most important artists in the post-war Modernist School of Paris. After World War II, he settled in France, where he became fascinated with Lyrical Abstraction. He was discovered by Joan Miró, who called Fiedler "the painter of light". Miró, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Eduardo Chillida, Fiedler, Alberto Giacometti, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Antoni Tàpies a great circle gathered and was joined by a new generation of artists. Fiedler created a unique style in lyrical abstraction.

The only European artist, Francois Fiedler was represented in the exhibition "The Persistence of Pollock" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jackson Pollock, the titan of Abstract Expressionism. The exhibition was held at the Pollock-Krasner House and Studio, which is the house where Jackson Pollock lived and created the 20th-century abstract expressionism masterpieces, so-called drip painting.
"I entered the painting... I felt the dramatic force. The pictorial energy of canvas enchanted me. I felt the full freedom of the rhythms. I recognized the duality in Pollock's works - improvisation and precise interpretation at the same time. I was fascinated by the works of Pollock and definitely influenced my own working methods." said Fiedler on the occasion of "Pollock Retrospective" held at Centre Georges Pompidou in 1981, Paris.

Omdurman is the largest city in Sudan and the Khartoum state. The city lies on the western banks of the River Nile, opposite the capital of Sudan Khartoum. The city claims a population of 2,395,157 as of 2008. Omdurman is the national centre of commerce and is also the country's legislative capital.
Visit the Sheikh Hamad El Nil tomb. The tomb and the mosque are located in the western side of Omdurman. Another must see is the Al-Nilain Mosque. It's reputed to be the largest mosque beside the River Nile, stretching from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean. Visit it to see its architectural resemblance to the taiga or the Muslim prayer cap. Don't miss out on seeing the Whirling Dervishes. These are a group of Sufi Muslims who wear colourful robes and stamp their feet and dance to the beat of the drums until they go into a trance. You cannot afford to miss the spectacle which also doubles as a nice cultural treat. Finally top off your visit with a necessary stop at the historical Khalifa House Museum. Established in 1928, the museum houses and contains antiquities of the Mahdist period, and is rightly located next to the Mahdi's tomb.
In Omdurman, roasted and stewed meat is widely eaten. Camel meat and its spiced uncooked liver are considered delicious delicacies to majority of the Sudanese people. Like in many places in Sudan, one of the most popular delicacies includes kissra. Kissra is a special type of bread made out of durra or corn; it is usually eaten with stew. These stews are normally made out of dried meat, spices, peanut butter and dried onions. An example of stew includes Miris, which is made out of sheep's fat, onions and dried okra. For drinks, the strong Sudanese coffee is served in a jebena, which is a special tin or jug used to serve the coffee. The coffee rather than being sweetened with sugar, the Sudanese people prefer to use spices such as ginger or cinnamon. In Omdurman, there aren't many restaurants; so if you fancy a nice meal you can drive down to Khartoum or use one of the bus routes. At Khartoum there are a variety of restaurants to choose from.
