Will elections help to cement peace in Afghanistan?
or Create your own
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan's president, has been involved in the politics of his homeland since the country was pushed into war when the Soviet Union invaded it in 1979.
Karzai fled the country like millions of other Afghans but unlike the majority of his eight siblings, he stayed in the region and took an active voice in how his homeland was governed.
His work paid off. He was first named interim leader of the country for six months after the fall of the Taliban in late 2001.
In June 2002, he was elected to a two-year term by the loya jirga, or grand council, "a traditional gathering of Afghanistan's tribal leaders to resolve issues of national importance."
As the head of state, he has influence over the development of the war-ravaged country. But he also has to satisfy a broad range of ethnic interests to ensure the peace so essential to the process of reconstruction.
But it is a fragile peace in Afghanistan and a dangerous life for its president.
Karzai has already survived attacks against him, but he has remained undeterred.
"I've been through this before," has says.
"I've been hit three times at summits. Did that stop us from fighting? My father was assassinated by terrorists. Did that stop him from fighting against them?"
"I will not stop," the president said. "I'll continue."
Karzai, 46, is no stranger to leadership. Even while in exile, he remained chief of the large Popolzai tribe in southern Afghanistan. The tribe is part of the Pashtun ethnic group, the largest of the Afghan ethnic groups and one that traditionally has produced the country's leaders.
His family also has previous experience with public service. His father, Abdul Ahad Karzai, was a former senator in the Afghan parliament before the overthrow of King Mohammed Zahir Shah in 1973.
Taliban support
He also served as deputy foreign minister in the Afghan government from 1992 to 1994 after the mujahedeen defeated the Soviets. But he grew weary of the fierce infighting between rival Afghan factions and initially supported the Taliban, who tried to name him as their ambassador to the United Nations.
But he grew suspicious of the movement as he saw it being infiltrated and controlled by non-Afghans. He and his father broke with the Taliban and began to criticize the religious movement while in exile in Quetta, Pakistan.
Karzai's resolve was strengthened further when his father was murdered in 1999, shot while walking home from a mosque in Quetta. The family believe the Taliban were behind the shooting.
Upon his father's death, Karzai accepted his place as chief Popolzai leader and continued his anti-Taliban activities, which were not getting much attention until September 11.
In October, he slipped into Afghanistan to lobby his fellow Pashtuns to oppose the Taliban and assemble a loya jirga to choose a new Afghan government.
"I was surprised, truly, to find out that the people were absolutely in support of an honorable life for Afghans and the return of peace, in support of loya jirga," he told CNN.
He barely avoided the Taliban's wrath and with the help of U.S. air power, Pashtun fighters overpowered the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. Karzai helped negotiate the Taliban's surrender of Kandahar, the city from which the religious movement was created.
Peace and belief
Karzai was born in Kandahar. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, he left and attended college in India. One of his professors remembered being impressed by the 24-year-old.
Five of Karzai's brothers and a sister now reside in the United States and run a successful chain of Afghan restaurants in Chicago, Boston, Maryland and San Francisco. The restaurants are named Helmand, after the Afghan province west of Kandahar.
His siblings are supportive of his activities and talk to him daily via Karzai's satellite telephone.
"He's a very peaceful person," said Qayum Karzai, a brother who lives in Maryland.
"He has enormous capabilities of dialogue and enormous diplomatic skill to negotiate, and is a person who really believes that Afghan national unity is the fundamental resource that we have to establish peace in Afghanistan."
Unlike most Afghan men, Karzai delayed marriage until he was in his early 40s, due to his political activities. His wife Zinat is a doctor. Karzai speaks English fluently along with six other languages.
In a CNN interview in 2001, Karzai said his priorities are basic issues like roads for the country, to enable some kind of commerce and economy to flourish again, education, and a health system.
And while saying he was confident that international assistance would continue, at the time he warned the world not to ignore Afghanistan again.
"I must be very blunt. If the world does not pay attention to Afghanistan, if it leaves it weak, and basically a country in which one can interfere, all these bad people are coming in," he said.
"So a strong Afghanistan, a peaceful Afghanistan, is the best guarantee for all."
This week, Karzai spoke to about 10,000 people gathered outside a Muslim shrine in the town of Ghazni, telling supporters the vote would be a turning point for the war-torn nation.
"This vote is not just to choose a president, but for peace and stability in Afghanistan," said Karzai, a close ally of U.S. President George W. Bush.
"Instead of fighting, we are campaigning for our elections. We should be proud that we have freedom at last."

Science, technology, engineering and math, aka STEM, are key areas of knowledge for the 21st century. Heck, they were key in the 20th century, too! Remember JFK and the moon challenge as well as his tribute to science on the 100th anniversary of the National Academy of Sciences?
How do we create an environment where science (my shorthand) is valued, where "all men" have an appreciation for science? Where denialism is a thing of the past? Because in today's America, not unlike yesterday's (Scopes Trial, 1925), science is devalued by the mainstream U.S. population.
As Gallup shows, for 40 years, 2-in-5 Americans (or more) have believed God created man in our present form.
Less than 10,000 years ago.
Pew Research data from 2006 mirror the longer-running Gallup data. Note the difference between Protestants and Catholics.
Two smart and entertaining guys started ASAP Science as one way to make science interesting and fun.
Who are they? Mitchell Moffit (@mitchellmoffit) and Gregory Brown (@whalewatchmeplz). Subscribe to their YouTube channel and get a heads-up each week when they post a new video.
A scientific understanding of the world has always given us the power and autonomy to enjoy the beauty and secrets of life, which we believe should be available to everyone. So, whether it be trying to break gender stereotypes within our scripts, or including stick figure drawings with a range of sexualities, it was part of our mission to include subtle references to the diversity of human culture. Even with these elements remaining discrete in our videos, we were quick to see the harsh reality that a gay stick figure could make somebody just as mad or upset as a gay person in real life.
Now, we've always known the YouTube comment section to be a special breed of comments — one that only the bravest of souls dare navigate. But it was the persistence on a channel dedicated to science that really had us scratching our head.
This behavior falls more in line with "ad hominem" logical fallacies than "shoot the messenger" although both are rejections of rational thought.
Here are a few of my favorite ASAP Science videos.

Help to Pay for Funerals in California
By Frances Burks
The assistance available to pay for funeral expenses in California is largely for specific groups of people, such as disaster victims and crime victims. Family members who meet low-income levels may be able to get some financial assistance through their local coroner's office. However, that assistance will likely only cover the burial costs of a deceased relative.
California residents can get help paying for the funeral of someone who dies due to an event that the president declares as a disaster. In such cases, funeral funds are available through the state's Individuals and Households Program. Through the program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency may provide funds for funeral expenses. However, the California Department of Social Services indicates that FEMA's financial assistance covers basic needs, so the money provided likely won't cover all costs for more elaborate funerals.
California's Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board provides funeral assistance in cases where crime victims die. The board helps pay for the funeral and burial of a deceased victim after the victim's family uses any other available funding sources to pay those expenses. However, the board could pay as much as $7,500 if the family has few funding sources available for a funeral and burial. The board won't pay some expenses, including what it calls hospitality costs for wakes or family dinners for people who attend a victim's funeral.
A deceased person who served in the military may qualify for death benefits available to veterans in California and throughout the nation. The Funeral Consumers Alliance in Palo Alto, California indicates that no more than $200 is available to help a deceased veteran's surviving family members pay for funeral and burial costs. However, the alliance notes that a reimbursement of $15,000 is available to relatives of service members who die in connection with their military service. Burial also can be provided in a national cemetery if family members request such a burial for a veteran.
Most states and local governments make funds available to cover at least the burial expenses for families in need. For example, the Los Angeles County Department of the Coroner accepts applications for burial assistance from a deceased person's family members if the family has insufficient funds for a burial. The deceased person and applicants must meet the department's poverty threshold to receive burial assistance. However, people in need have to contact the coroner's department to find out the specific income limits the department follows to determine eligibility for assistance.

Did you know that more than 7 million people in the U.S. have psoriasis? It may not be as well known or talked about as other skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, but it's something that a lot of people struggle with (Kim Kardashian included!).
Anyone who suffers from psoriasis knows that treating it can be really frustrating. Flare-ups are sometimes unpredictable, and it can be really challenging to get an appointment with a dermatologist when you need one. Add to that that the scales that come with psoriasis can be itchy or sometimes even painful, and it's just a total bummer.

I've seen how well the TriDerma Psoriasis Control Face and Body Cream works firsthand, and many Amazon shoppers have experienced similarly satisfying results.

Ukraine's former President Petro Poroshenko landed in Kyiv on Monday to face treason charges in a case he says was trumped up by allies of his successor, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. In a brief stand-off at border control after arriving on a flight from Warsaw, he accused the border guards of taking away his passport. Poroshenko's return sets up a showdown with Zelenskiy's government in what critics say is an ill-judged distraction at a time when Ukraine is bracing for a possible Russian military offensive and appealing to Western allies for support.

This is a selection of images collected at the CAPTION96 comics convention (in the summer of 1996). Attentive readers will have noticed that there is almost a year-long gap between the con and the photo album. This is partly explained by the amount a manual labour involved in scanning all those 7×5 photos on my none-too-fast scanner and moving the files from the Mac with the scanner to the Linux box with all my web site stuff on. Update: With the creation of the CAPTION web site, this album has moved home and in the process has been redesigned with a less archaic look.


I didn't completely get, when Angie signed us up for the top level tour at Taliesin, exactly what that involved. It was the whole Megillah, a walking tour of a huge part of the estate, and not just the house that had been Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Wisconsin for much of his creative life. I also did not know that Taliesin became an architecture school, with studies now divided between this location and Taliesin West in Arizona (on the bucket list for sure). I'm so glad we saw as much as we did, even though it was rather overwhelming.
A bus took us from the visitors center up to the first stop, but after that, we were traveling by foot, and it wasn't flat! The pace was pretty mellow for us, but a couple of people apparently hadn't read the description fully and struggled with the walking, though it wasn't unbearably hot. And before I get into the day, one of my usual digressions. What, you may wonder, did we do with Rebbe while we were taking the four-hour tour? Well, my super resourceful wife had located a doggy day care facility in the town of Spring Green, which is close to Taliesin. Spring Green Pet Resort took our reservation a few weeks back too, and we dropped Rebbe there before heading off for our big day. The first stop on our route was the Hillside Home School.
This was an early building Wright designed for his aunts, who had returned to where they had grown up to run the school. The building is now part of the architecture school. The highlights of the building are the assembly hall, theater, and drafting room. We weren't able to take pictures inside anywhere and some things are hard to describe. The drafting room is gigantic and heads some cool design features of its own. It's where the students do most of their work I think. The essence of what Wright was trying to do in much of his work can be seen in this building, which was his first major undertaking.
He was very focused, and many people reading probably already know this, on an organic approach. He tried to tie his designs to the earth in different ways. One example of his approach came out at the Hillside Home School, when he was upset that the stonemason added a cornerstone to the building naming him as the architect. He felt this wasn't organic, though he did consent on some buildings to have a small tile with his initials in a few of the buildings he designed, because he felt that was ornamentation.
What Wright subsequently allowed to be used.
On this part of the tour we also learned that in 1936, Wright stopped designing buildings at Taliesin to take account of winter in Wisconsin because the school and Wright moved to Taliesin West for the winters from then on. The buildings would be winterized and would stand empty until everyone returned.
From the home school we walked up to the structure Wright called Romeo and Juliet, a windmill/pump designed to send water to the school.
Wright insisted it was a very American Romeo and Juliet because he designed it as a happy ending. Our guide said Wright got a lot of criticism for his design of this structure, but Wright said it would still be there long after his critics were gone.
Tan-y-Deri was the next stop. This was a cottage built for his sister and her husband. It was not as spectacular as the home school or anything we were about to see at the main house but it was part of the broad coverage we were getting.
Our guide also talked about the adjacent Engineers Cottage, which was built in 1934. It was a cute little structure and you could see Wright's influence even though he didn't design it himself.
We continued walking toward the main house, passing Midway Hill, which had a brow that is reminiscent of name of the place (Taliesin means shining brow in Welsh).
The brow was about 5 feet wide, which was a motif used by Wright in some of the terraces in the main house. The land is now leased to an organic farmer, who uses "weeds" to fight pests, but plants them as they suit the crops and needs.
Wright's farm had Guernsey cows, Rhode Island Red chickens and Hampshire hogs because of their colors! These were colors that he felt were suited to the landscape.
He also built a spire on the milking shed that was inspired by the Imperial Hotel project, for which he spent several years in Japan.
We interrupt the narrative for a bird picture: Sandhill Cranes!
The power lines in the valley are underground, and there's no commercial signage. Because we were on the high-end tour, we were treated to drinks and cookies when we arrived at the main house. The cookies came from the cafe at the visitor center and were delicious. For drinks we had a choice of lemonade, iced tea, coffee, and water. The main house, Wright saw as his lab, and his apprentices worked on it, so there is less consistency in features and design.
He redid elements of it in the 1950s. The Ice house tower was one of the early structures of the main house and was not destroyed in the 1914 fire.
In 1914 a fire was set by a disgruntled/maniacal servant. He set the fire and killed Wright's mistress and her children as they tried to escape. Others died of burns sustained in the fire. The second fire was in 1925, caused by an electrical problem. Wright was there and tried to save the property, but much of the house was destroyed along with many of his valuable pieces of Asian art that he'd collected while in Japan on the Imperial Hotel project. The House was expanded over time. There are four courtyards, all with a continuous line of sight.
The first was built when people mostly traveled by horse, and a port cochere was there that was later converted to a garden room, and then again into a library. The terrace outside what became the studio in the house is forty inches, a reference to Fallingwater, which is one of Wright's most famous houses and clearly an obsession to him, since there are other references at the house.
Our guide pointed out an apprentice wall near the front entrance, which Wright kept in place as an example of what not to do, in keeping with his view of the house as a lab. Wright had started as a builder and felt that his apprentices should have practical skills to inform their training and work.
The main entrance to the house was added in the 1940s because Wright wanted a better entrance now that cars were more common, though he loved to ride and there were also tie ups for his horses add the main entrance.
The entrance had three sets of seven steps, which may have been a musical reference. Wright and his family were very musical. He had many pianos and played often. The main house had four chimneys in two angles. The car court in the back was added in 1925 after the second fire. We saw the drafting studio, where Wright sketched out Fallingwater in three hours. Our guide said conceived, but what he meant was that Wright had been developing it all in his head and then the owner was coming to visit so he had to put it on paper. What he sketched was the outline for what that great house came to be: supposedly 90% of how it came out. The drafting studio was in the main house till 1937, when it was moved to the Hillside Home site.
Some more pictures of the main house.
There are so many details to take in at the main house, especially inside. Wright used three main colors that he saw as organic to the area, a sandy color, Cherokee Red (for a local stone) and one other we can't recall. There were red stones (fire damaged?) and Buddha heads that Wright salvaged from the 1925 fire. The main house had lots of points of connection to Fallingwater. At that house Wright put in a whole floor of Shellac matching the piece he had in front of the fireplace of his great room at Taliesin.
As with the courtyards, there is a sightline all the way through the main house from his bedroom to the other end of the house. Amazingly, Wright's spectacular and spacious bedroom, includes a garish blue rug that is sixty years old (from 1950). It's a precursor of what would be known as shag carpet in the 60s and 70s and woven in China. Interestingly, we were allowed on the rug, but everyone was wearing booties for the entire house tour. The shuttle picked us up at the main house so we didn't walk back to the visitor center. We had one final stop on the way back, when the shuttle paused at the dam on the property. Apparently, Wright was too cheap to build the dam properly while he was running the estate so it failed failed twice. His widow had a proper one built after he died.
After we finished the tour, Angie and I had a nice lunch in the visitor center cafe and checked pour the gift shop, which we found disappointing. Even the books on offer didn't look interesting enough to splash out on. How was Rebbe's day? He completely bonded with his caretaker at the doggy day care And had a fun time playing with the other dogs. The owner even posted his picture on their Facebook page. And Rebbe slept very well that night!
I really enjoy Wright's style. He was so innovative. Loved the photos!
Thanks! We love his stuff also. I want to see some of his work and some of the Greene and Greene around the LA area before too soon.


Our most recent release focused on this problem. We created a unique project control screen with a simple but powerful interface. Agencies can see all of their projects in one place and simply drag them to shift start dates, automatically adjust resource schedules and update capacity forecasts.
You can now click and drag projects to change their start week. When a project is moved resource schedules and capacity forecasts are automatically updated.
Service companies are using this insight to plan for the most likely scenario and be prepared for the others.
The project screen's aggregate chart allows agencies to evaluate capacity in different scenarios. The different shades of yellow represent projects in the pipeline with different likelihoods of closing and getting booked. The darkest yellow represents booked projects and lightest shade represents project's least likely to close.
June would be a GREAT time to schedule a new project!
Tell us how you'd use the project's screen!
This post only describes the use cases we've seen in the past week and we are sure there are more. If you have an idea of how you could use it at your agency, let us know! We'll publish it on our blog and invite you to talk about it on our upcoming video interview series, Agencies Teach Agencies.

There are many types of pest, which can enter in a house and cause serious harms. Some of these pests only cause irritation. They do not cause any body harm but they can destroy other things like your cloths shoes, and food items. However, there are also those house pests, which can cause very serious harm to the health of the family, and one of the kinds of these pests is bed bugs. These are parasitic insects, which can be very bad for people. These are also the worst kind of pest when it comes to their removal. There are many different ways people use to remove these pests from their house this article will tell you about all those ways and also let you know which method has proven to be best so far.
There are many different pests kill products available in the market but it has been proven that those products does not work completely and they cannot remove the pests instead the bed bug traps has worked best for removing these pests.
Here are some DIY tips to trap some of these pests and remove them from the house. It is not possible to remove these pests completely but people can get a little bit of comfort but removing some of them. If you want to get these bugs completely, you will have to hire professional pest controllers. You can use interceptor cups on the furniture which you thing has bed bugs. The worst part about these pests is that they get attracted to carbon dioxide and people can inhale them in their sleep without even knowing it.
The interceptor cups can be used for trapping these bugs when they travel through one place to another in search of their food. These pets mostly remain hidden and many people will not even know that they have them in their houses unless someone get ill and there seems no reason for that. They remain mostly on rough surfaces and avoid smooth surface. Therefore, they will be finding mostly on the rough side of the furniture or the bed. They will on the wood, which has not been polished and smooth. The cups have big mouth but have small inner side so the bugs will get trap and will not be able to get out of the cup. You can put these cups on different pests of the house where you thing that bugs can be present.
The method given above is very simple method and is less costly but there are also some commercially made traps for bugs, which you can use to trap the bed bugs present in your house. Through this method, you cannot kill the bugs but you can still trap them and prevent any serious harm to your family. However, it is also important to hire professionals and get these removed completely from the house if you want to keep your family safe from any serious harm. These pests can cause high fever and many other types of skin allergies.


The DHS and DOJ released a report today showing that 402 of the 549 people convicted of international terrorism in the U.S. between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2016 were foreign-born. Of those 402, 148 managed to obtain U.S. citizenship. Within the same time period ICE removed about 1,716 aliens who posed national security concerns.
The report surfaces while Pres. Trump continuously states that any deal on DACA must include an end to Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery, avenues through which convicted terrorists, including last month's NYC subway bomber have used as a means of entry into the U.S.
"This report reveals an indisputable sobering reality — our immigration system has undermined our national security and public safety," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.
The agencies conducted the report as one of the actions directed by Pres. Trump's Executive Order 13780, Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorists Entry into the United States.


Its an everyday routine, to climb a hill after office hours. Not because I enjoy it, I have to. Infosys parking these days is on a hill,may be an attempt to reduce our obesity, that was evident around our waists. Lovely long walks, on the acclivity, beautiful night and lonely me. There are when these walks are filled with talks with people, personally or on the mobile phone and there are times when these talks are filled with talks with myself.
It was one such day, after a long day at office, a quiet lonely walk toward the parking lot and thoughts when I realized that my mobile is missing. Recalling where it was, I decided not to go back and get it from my drawer. I decided to be blessed being alone that night. I decided to be free.
It was a different day. A Free day. In the real sense. No calls no text messages, no nothing. My mind was free. My thoughts were free. I was free. It was that day, when I looked at people, when I saw people smile at pains, laugh in happiness, bond with lives. Their lives. They were people with no strings attached. Free.
That night, walking empty handed, I walked past the street, looking at stars, talking to myself. Feeling so relieved. My mind reached the pinnacle of thoughts, and words reaching abyss, I became a poetic Picasso. Answers to so many questions, ideas to lead a better life, formulating the future and reviving myself, to follow my dream. It was an ocean of thoughts that I encountered within me that day. Eliminating merely a small gadget from my day.
I savored my food that night, and treated myself with icecream too. I could feel tinge of ice on the tip of my tongue that day. I knew it meant something. I knew I was noticing everything that day. I knew I with me. With empty pockets, I walked back home, feeling light, feeling invisible, as if no one could locate me, no one could reach me. I had a smile on my face.
How I wish I never had a cellphone. How I wish people just met and talk in person. How I wish world was a smaller place that people could just meet and spend time with each other than being so far. They say cellphones got us closer, but I wonder, if it really did. I wonder if it really did when even amongst the gang of friends, when half of them are on the phone with someone else at the other end, whom none of the people around know. How I wish everyone forgets their mobile for a day, somewhere, and be with themselves, be with life ?
My mind never allowed me to sleep that night. I wrote, I thought, I sang, I danced that night. I never slept, just to see that there were 21 Missed calls and 13 messages on my mobile. I was free from all of them. I was really free.


The National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) reported on January 15, 2019 that the United States Trade Representative will not give exemptions on the third round of Section 301 tariffs at their current rate of ten percent. The third round of tariffs, or "List 3," includes about $200 billion of Chinese imports (from 2017). The duty rate on this list will jump to 25% on March 2, 2019 if there is no trade deal agreed upon with China by that time. Robert Lighthizer did comment that an exemption process will be implemented if the tariffs on List 3 increase from 10% to 25%.
"Erik Autor, president of the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones, said his group has repeatedly explained that FTZs are not trying to avoid paying tariffs on content subject to Section 301 tariffs, but that because of the way the zones report the import ed content to Commerce, far more than the 301-targeted tariff lines is being hit. Usually, goods made in an FTZ pay a duty equal to the tariff on the finished good for the proportion of the product that was imported. In the case of trade remedies, the imported items that are subject to higher-than-typical tariffs do get taxed at the input duty level, at t he time the good enters into commerce.

One year in, law minister concedes legal reforms still only in the works
Published 2 months ago on 10 May 2019
By Danial Dzulkifly
Liew said the government will prioritise the National Security Council (Amendment) Bill in the next parliamentary session. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon
PUTRAJAYA, May 10 — Nearly a year in office, Datuk Liew Vui Keong acknowledges that Pakatan Harapan's pledged legislative reforms will take time to realise but pointed out the complexity of the task.
The minister in Prime Minister's Department in charge of legal affairs noted that some traced back to British colonial days and, in all, there were over a hundred individual pieces of legislation that would be affected by the pledge in some way.
Despite the size of his undertaking, Liew said they were making progress.
"To date, we have identified 126 Acts that need to be amended or repealed so the process will take time as many of these laws belong to their respective ministries so we need to get the policies from the ministers, whether they want to repeal or amend specific Acts
"This is a starting point for us when we took over the government in May and when I was appointed in July,'' he said in a special press interview commemorating PH's first anniversary at his office here on Tuesday
Liew added that it will take from one to five years for each ministry to either repeal or amend laws under their purview.
Doing away with irrelevant and oppressive laws
Liew said among the priorities of the PH administration was to repeal or amend oppressive laws that were either enacted during the colonial era or under the Barisan Nasional government.
These include the Sedition Act, the Anti-Fake News Act, The National Security Council Act, Security Offences (Special Measures) Act, Prevention of Crime Act (Amendment) and abolishing the death penalty.
"It became our first agenda to abolish laws that are not relevant in accordance with the aspirations of the PH manifesto,'' he said.
Liew said they had attempted to repeal the Anti-Fake News Act through Parliament in July last year but noted that this was defeated by the Opposition-dominated Senate later.
Liew also said the government will prioritise the National Security Council (Amendment) Bill in the next parliamentary session since this already had its first reading on April 9.
Another major milestone in legislative reform was the Cabinet's decision to abolish the mandatory death penalty for 11 offences under two laws: nine under the Penal Code and two under the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971.
"We have taken the steps to abolish mandatory death sentences from all laws whereby we give the courts the authority to decide whether to sentence out executions or life imprisonment to those who are guilty,'' he said.
However, Liew explained the proposal to abolish the death penalty is still work in progress as they must consider the views of all stakeholders, given the complexity and sensitivity of the issue.
Reviewing the Malaysia Agreement of 1963
Liew, who is federal lawmaker for Batu Sapi, said the PH administration is working hard to honour the Malaysia Agreement of 1963 (MA63) that is the basis for the formation of the country with three equal partners, namely the Federation of Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak.
"We have successfully formed a Cabinet Committee to oversee the execution of the Malaysia Agreement of 1963 and this coincide with Tun Dr Mahathir's statement that Sabah and Sarawak is an equal partner,'' he said, referring to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
On April 4, Liew tabled The Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2019 in Parliament that sought to undo a previous change to the Federal Constitution that put Sabah and Sarawak on par with an individual peninsular state.
However, it fell short of the two-thirds support required to alter the Federal Constitution.
Despite the failure, Liew said he is not giving up.
"I think the most important thing is that we returned to this article 1(2) of the Constitution. The significant implication is the recognition that Malaysia is made up of three entities.
"This recognition of equal entities is quite significant because at this moment the present Constitution talks about the Federation of Malaysia where Sabah and Sarawak is just part of the 13 states,'' he said.
New anti-stalking law
Among new laws the government is considering is one against stalking, the minister said.
The proposed law would punish those who stalk, peep or pry upon another person, he explained.
Currently, authorities use laws related to criminal intimidation or assault for which they must prove an offender either made physical contact or threatened their victim, making convictions challenging.
"Before it will become a problem, we need to ensure that legal action can be taken against the stalker and this is one of the law that we are looking at but of course there are many other laws that we are looking at as well,'' he said.

After almost 500 people took on Knole Park in May for Run, Walk or Push against Dementia, Sevenoaks District Council can reveal almost £7,000 was raised, trumping the previous year by over £2,500.
Residents from all over the District and beyond turned out in full force on a sunny morning to take on one of the timed 3, 5 or 10 kilometre races on the beautiful backdrop of the medieval deer park, to raise money for the Sevenoaks Area Dementia Friendly Community (SADFC).
Last Friday, (6 July), Sevenoaks District Chairman, Cllr Pat Bosley, presented a cheque for the money raised to SADFC co-chairs Elaine Ferris and Symone Salwan at Knole House with the money funding dementia friendly projects across the Sevenoaks District such as the continuation of the Forget-me-not Cafes as well as a new singing group.
The cheque was presented at the Sevenoaks branch of the Forget-me-not Café in Knole House, which runs on the first Friday of every month and was funded by the money raised from last years' event.
The café, which also has others branches in Edenbridge and Westerham, provides support and companionship to those in the community who are living with memory issues or dementia as well as their carers, family and friends.
Sevenoaks District Chairman, Cllr Pat Bosley, says: "We really were overwhelmed by the amount of support we had on the day and it's incredible now to see how we've smashed last year's total and for all the runners and sponsors to see where there efforts and money are going towards.
"The money will fund important projects such as the Forget-me-not Café s which support those who are effected by dementia and it is such an achievement to keep these going.
Elaine Murray, who co-chairs the Sevenoaks Area Dementia Friendly Community with Symone Salwan, adds: "We are thrilled to have raised so much more than last year for our group to help make the Sevenoaks Area become more dementia friendly. With this money we can to support more people experiencing memory and cognitive decline and their carers to continue to live well in their own homes and engaged in their community.
"These funds will go a long way to open further Forget-Me-Not Cafés, establish our singing group: The Forget-Me-Notes, host dementia friendly cinema screenings and our popular wellbeing days. We have an ambitious target to establish a Sevenoaks Wellbeing Information and Services Hub in partnership with Sevenoaks District Council in the next 12 months.

The Willamette Valley is known for its grass and farm fields, rain and trees, but there also are some cool festivals, well-loved places and, throughout many of its smaller towns, some hidden gems. If you've lived here a while, see how many you can check off. Or use this list to show off our area to out-of towners. If you are new to the area or are planning a visit here, here's some of the best stuff you'll find out of the big cities.
1. Silver Falls State Park. The valley has many waterfalls, east, west, north and south, off the roadside or at the end of a hike. There are plenty to find, so many in fact that the Statesman Journal's Explore Oregon outdoors app has a special category for Oregon waterfalls, but Silver Falls State Park near Silverton has the best collection of them in one area, with an outstanding, walk-behind-the-falls beauty not far from the park lodge. Get a broader experience with the 7.2-mile Trail of Ten Falls or see five waterfalls in 2.6 miles.

2. Wine country. There are hundreds of vineyards to visit in the valley. People come from all over the country to see where the Willamette Valley's award-winning pinot originates from. And it doesn't disappoint. With beautiful views and indoor and outdoor venues to sit and sip great wine, valley wineries are a year-round destination. Many shine the most in summer and fall when the weather is warm and events such as concert series are in full swing. Must-visit wineries include Willamette Valley Vineyards near Turner (try one of their weekend wine dinners), Eyrie Vineyards, which was the first pinot producer in the area, and Domaine Serene Winery, known for its Chardonnay. Or try St. Innocent, which is one of the vineyards that lets you bring along the dog.

Would like PVC replaced on pergola roof! Pergola is roughly 6m x 8m with gutter along one edge! Job will include picking up the supplies we need! Job MUST be fully completed by Friday 3rd August! Glen Iris! Please quote for the labour and we can work out the materials together!
I want to build 2 side by side pergolas (this way I don't require a planning or building permit) over an existing deck, joined to the house at roof level via boots (I believe that's what it's called?). I have drawn a sketch of my design. Please only bid for this job if you have insurance cover and if you are available to build it before Christmas. Please send me approximate quotes and am happy to meet you onsite for more details. Thank you PS: The Airtasker price of $5 is just so we can get talking and have a discussion onsite, however my build budget is up to $5000. I've attached my sketch as well as an inspiration board to show the styles I'm after: square joinery, rural / industrial look. I only need someone to build the structure, I will install the shade part myself, looking at lightweight options.

Prince Harry hasn't reunited with Meghan Markle, son Archie in Canada yet — Here's why
By Nate Day | Fox News

Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines for Jan. 14 are here. Check out what's clicking today in entertainment.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have yet to reunite following Harry's meeting with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Monday.
The meeting, dubbed the "Sandringham Summit," was an opportunity for the Queen, Harry and other members of the royal family to reportedly "talk things through" following Harry and Meghan's announcement that they plan to take a "step back" from their royal duties.
Markle, 38, was not present for the meeting, but it was reported that she would have potentially joined by phone from Canada, where she traveled after making the historic announcement to reunite with 8-month-old son Archie, whom she shares with Harry, 35.
KATE MIDDLETON 'WILL HAVE TO REPRESENT THE FACE OF BRITAIN'S FUTURE' FOLLOWING 'MEGXIT,' EXPERTS SAY
Harry and Meghan have yet to reunite following the family meeting, but it appears to be the prince's schedule that's holding him back.
Harry is set to host the Rugby League World Cup 2021 draws for the men's, women's and wheelchair tournaments at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, according to People magazine. Harry has been a member of the Rugby Football League since 2016, when he took over his grandmother's spot.
HUGH GRANT WEIGHS IN ON MEGXIT: 'I'M RATHER ON HARRY'S SIDE'
It is likely that following the event, Harry will travel to Canada, where he and his family will spend some time during an upcoming "period of transition," per a statement from the Queen.
"Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives," the Queen said. "It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the U.K."
The statement also explains that the royal family is "entirely supportive" of Harry and Meghan and maintains that they will remain "a valued part of" the royal family.

Q: Why does numpy's float128 only have 63 bits mantissa? I'm sure this is a daft question but I'm genuinely puzzled:
>>> import numpy as np
>>>
>>> f1, f2, f64 = map(np.float128, (1, 2, -64))
>>> f1 + f2**f64 == f1
True

Or more directly:
>>> np.finfo(np.float128).nmant
63

Exponent appears to have 15 bits, so where are all those missing bits?

A: Reading the docs:

np.longdouble is padded to the system default; np.float96 and
  np.float128 are provided for users who want specific padding. In spite
  of the names, np.float96 and np.float128 provide only as much
  precision as np.longdouble, that is, 80 bits on most x86 machines and
  64 bits in standard Windows builds.

So it appears it isn't going to actually use all those bits. I suppose, it doesn't account for the missing two bits, 15 + 63 = 78 if we assume 80 bits on x86 architecture (what I have as well).

Set within a stand of pine trees, Pine/Cone is a simple wooden vessel beckoning visitors to explore. As one approaches Pine/Cone, defined pathways are absent. Instead, a uniform carpet of pine needles allows each visitor to define his or her own course through and among the trees toward the mysterious floating box. Drawing closer, one sees entries appear on opposite sides of the box, leading to the discovery of a surprising yet contemplative space hidden within.
The Arboretum exhibit theme, "Human/Nature," required submissions to explore the relationships between natural environments and people's response to and understanding of those environments. Through built-form, Pine/Cone explores our connection with nature by contrasting natural and human-made elements (pine trees and milled lumber), by framing views of nature through various apertures (doorways, ceiling and reflecting basin) and by encouraging visitors to sit, linger and meditate within a comfortable, quiet space.

Q: How to fix Zend session incorrect data ('css') I have coded a simple admin module with ability to paginate records and sort them by some column. And when I sort and then call some other action on the records it should redirect the user back to index page with the same sort parameters as there were before. But after I  call the indexAction() with parameters like this /admin/users/index/column/num_orders/order/ASC and then call the toggleActiveAction() I am redirected to page /admin/users/index/column/num_orders/order/CSS.
The same story with .../index/page/2 => .../index/page/css.
Why "CSS"? My session data never used in other context than you see below.
In my bootstrap I have the following:
protected function _initSession()
{
    Zend_Session::start();
}

Controller init():
...
$this->_session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('Admin_Users');
...

I have a following function in my controller:
public function redirectToIndex()
{
    $options = array();
    if (isset($this->_session->curPage) && $this->_session->curPage != 1)
        $options['page'] = $this->_session->curPage;
    if (isset($this->_session->curColumn) && $this->_session->curColumn)
        $options['column'] = $this->_session->curColumn;
    if (isset($this->_session->curOrder) && $this->_session->curOrder)
        $options['order'] = $this->_session->curOrder;
    $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'users', 'admin', $options);
}

In index action:
$curColumn = $this->_getParam('column', '');
$curOrder = strtoupper($this->_getParam('order', ''));
$page = $this->_getParam('page', 1);
...
$this->_session->curPage = $page;
$this->_session->curColumn = $curColumn;
$this->_session->curOrder = $curOrder;

Then in toggleActiveAction() I call
$this->redirectToIndex();

A: I guess there is a unexisted css file on your page (on js or img) which is handled with Zend Framewok froncontroller. Youd should enable log for all requests that are handled with ZF and you will find there a request like "/theme/supersite/css/thisFileNotExists.css" (or similar :)
