Lisa Faulkner gushes over husband John Torode as they open up on first eight months of marriage
Couples who cook together, stay together and Lisa Faulkner and John Torode are certainly proof of that. The husband and wife duo are about to launch the fourth series of their ITV show, John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, and have already had a fifth commissioned. "We work very well together," Lisa tells OK!. "We're lucky."
John, 54, and Lisa, 48, tied the knot last year in a stunning ceremony at Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire. And though lockdown means their first year of marriage hasn't been quite what they expected, it's allowed them some quality time together as newlyweds.
"You appreciate the time you have together. I think we'll look back at this time quite fondly," says MasterChef judge John.
Here, the culinary couple spill the beans on working and living together, homeschooling, and the testing times of lockdown…

How does it feel to have spent much of your first year in marriage in lockdown?
John: We got married in October, eight months ago, so we've had nearly half the time in lockdown! But it's been alright. I think we're doing really well. I quite like it. I don't think we'll ever get an opportunity like this again in our lifetimes where you just have to stop. It gives you time to think about things and you appreciate the time together. I think we'll look back at this time quite fondly, but of course it's also been very sad with people losing family members.
Lisa: I feel very lucky. I love my husband so much and we have a lovely family. I miss the family that we don't live with hugely, but it's been really nice. We've really looked after each other. What's going on is affecting so many people and our NHS has worked tirelessly, but I've actually felt really grateful that we're all looking after each other.
You're filming the fourth series of John And Lisa's Weekend Kitchen. Do you ever have disagreements when working together?
Lisa: Not really, we just cook! We work very well together. I feel very blessed because we get on really well.
Have you had any testing moments during lockdown?
Lisa: I think everybody has testing moments. Living together, getting used to homeschooling and everyone needing space, plus the emotions, has been hard. We're lucky – we live near a park so we can go out, walk the dogs separately and we have a garden and the kids have their own rooms. We can each go off to our little spaces, read or go for a walk or a bike ride or do a home workout, and then we come back together.
John: I think it's been about listening to each other, compromise, knowing each other and giving each other space when it's needed. Sometimes you've just got to read the body language. But we're lucky.

How has filming the show changed due to social distancing?
John: It's a new world and social distancing has made things quite different, but it's been fantastic so far. It's been nice to be back with the team. Social distancing has made things more difficult in terms of shooting because usually there are lots of people in close proximity and you have people coming over your shoulder to get the right shots, but now we can't do that.
I think one of the reasons ITV has allowed us to film is the fact that we do live together and therefore the social distancing thing is different. It's the same with Ruth [Langsford] and Eamonn [Holmes] on This Morning. We just need to keep reminding people that we do live together and we are married so we can get close!
Lisa: Now we're also having to do all these other jobs. I've been doing my make-up and then I make sure John looks alright.
John: Then there's making sure we're dressed properly and that our outfits look okay, because all those things make a difference. We look out for each other. It takes a lot longer than usual.
Lisa: I'm definitely no make-up artist! We're doing the minimum amount and getting by. It makes you appreciate everybody. Everyone is a member of the crew for a reason.
What can viewers expect to see in the new series?
John: What we try to do as much as possible this series is make people feel as though they're on vacation, and bring back memories of travelling. We're using influences from around the world so there are things like Greek feasts and the flavours
of Spain and the seaside. It's summertime food that can be enjoyed at home in an easy way. The show has got stronger with better viewing figures and I think people really like it. John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen has always been about what is practical and what's in your cupboard, and at times like this that's even more important.
Have you been splitting the cooking equally at home?
Lisa: We pretty much do it together. There are times when I've been homeschooling and John has done it or John is out on a bike ride so I've taken over.
John: It's never really a conversation, it just seems to happen. We're both cooking all the time, almost all day. On the show, we have four recipes each episode, so there have been a lot of recipes to create and we worked really hard with the production team to make sure we get them absolutely right and that they are accessible.
Lisa: We've been doing our own recipe videos on Instagram (IGTV).
Lisa, do you involve your 14-year-old daughter Billie in the cooking and test new recipes on her?
She has a full day of school so she's on the computer in the front room from 8.45am. She gets things posted to her, like pancakes and little bribes to keep her going! But she is so not bothered by food or us. She's like, "Can you make me a Pot Noodle instead?"

How has homeschooling been?
Lisa: I look forward to September! Billie is in secondary school so she won't go back until then. Our teachers are incredible. But I have really loved having her at home, more than she has loved being at home! But that's an age thing, whereas I don't take anything for granted. I think she's found it really difficult. Luckily I don't have to do too much because it's all online.
Have you been able to spend any time with your children, John?
I've been for a socially distanced walk with my children. But we've been very careful and we've done plenty of FaceTiming. I was meant to go to Australia a few weeks ago for work but obviously that couldn't happen. I haven't been able to see my family out there, which is really sad.
John, your tea towel caught fire live on This Morning! What happened?
It was a great message to pay attention to what you're doing! I didn't even realise the tea towel was there. But I had to stay calm. Phillip [Schofield] and Holly [Willoughby] were rightly panicking because there was a two-second on-air delay. Two seconds doesn't seem like a long time but in fire terms it's a lot. But I stayed calm and everything was okay. There was a lot going on – I was cooking and chatting to Phillip and Holly on a screen in front of me and I had an ear piece and a close-up camera. I was also juggling the technical side of things by myself because obviously we can't have a technician in the house.
Have there been any kitchen disasters at home?
John: Not really, apart from an explosion of sauce the other day!
Lisa: Touch wood, there have been no other explosions or fires so far.

Aurangzeb's India and the World Trade: The European Companies and Pedlars
The Mughal Empire was based in the interior of a large land mass and derived the vast majority of its revenues from agriculture. Due to this, it is said, the Mughal Emperors seem to have lacked interest in coastal territories and their flourishing maritime trade. Not until the conquest of Gujarat in 1572 did the Empire reach the ocean. But over time both the royal family and the high nobles became involved with the trade that was taking place over the seas, first in Gujarat and later in Bengal.
The Portuguese had arrived in India in 1498 when Vasco Da Gama crossed the Cape of Good Hope; and by 1550 they had established Estado da India. In 1600 the Dutch arrived and by 1604, the English East India Company also arrived at the Mughal Court. By the second half of the 16th and the first half of the 17th Century, Gujarat emerged as the trading hub of India. During the 17th Century, Surat was not only the premier port of the Mughal Empire but also the largest coastal city along the entire western Indian Ocean. In 1660, it probably had a population of 100, 000 and may have doubled in size by 1700. Being situated at the end of the major trade route which connected it with Delhi and Agra, it was the site in which trading posts were established by the first Europeans other than the Portuguese.
It was the desire for their bullion and for revenues arising from trade that led the Mughals and the local rulers to permit and even encourage European traders to settle within their realm.
Fuelling this growth of European trading companies was a new demand for Indian products within Europe. The large quantities of textiles purchased earlier by the Dutch and English (VOC & EIC) would be sent to Southeast Asia to be exchanged for spices; if sent to Africa, they would be used widely to purchase slaves. By the middle of the 17th Century Europe discovered a taste for Indian Chintz. By 1680's the Indian cotton had become largely fashionable in Europe. This rapidly growing market in Europe led to a very quick rise in the volume of textile imports from India. According to KN Chaudhuri, there was a ten-fold increase in textile export from India. For the EI Co the most successful trading posts in India were Madras and the western coast – Bombay, a Portuguese possession acquired by the British crown and given to the EIC in 1668.
The third region which was important in this trade was Bengal. However, here the English position was weaker as compared to Coromandel (southeastern coast of India between the mouth of Krishna delta and the Cape Comorin) and western India. Since the 16th Century Bengal's premier port had been Hugli. However in 1632 the Mughals expelled the Portuguese from here. By 17th Century the business of the EIC started growing in Bengal, yet, till the last decades of 17th C it was still half that of the Dutch.
Being situated within the Mughal territory, the EIC believed that the local imperial officers were constantly putting obstacles in the way of its trade. In an effort to force better terms of trade, the company sent a well-armed fleet of ten ships to India in 1686 and in effect declared war on the Mughal Empire. Numerous Indian ships were seized off the west coast and the Port of Surat was blockaded. The Mughals retaliated by launching an attack against Bombay.
In the Bay of Bengal, the English objective was
(a) to capture the port of Chittagong,
(b) advance to Dacca and
(c) negotiate a new trade agreement.
The war ended in an English failure. A Peace Treaty was signed in 1690 and according to which the English had to pay a hefty indemnity to the Mughals.
In 1692, the EIC issued a half-rupee coin which resembled the Mughal coin on both both sides which carried names of the British King William III and queen Mary, written in Persian. Aurangzeb took the issuance of this coin as a direct challenge to his authority and forced it to be withdrawn. The EIC was also forced to assume the responsibility of the safety of the Indian ships in the western seas.
One of the direct results of this Anglo-Mughal war of 1686-90 was the founding of Calcutta by the English. After their defeat, the English regrouped at a distance from Hugli, from where they had been made to flee earlier. Due to the silting, Calcutta was a more convenient location. However due to its marshy lands and the resultant mosquitoes, Calcutta was an unhealthy place.
Thus by 1700 the EIC acquired three sites – Madras, Bombay and Calcutta which were later to emerge as the nerve centres of the British trade and administration.
Influx of Bullion & Its Consequences:
The European trade could not have been sustained on a large scale with India or Asia but for the discovery of American silver mines.
The expansion in money supply enabled the trading nations to finance the heavily adverse balance of trade with Asia. Even at the period, it was realized that in the absence of bullion, commodities as well as wages would be much cheaper in India and thus Indian markets would not be having a demand for the European goods. It would be precious metals which would be exchanged against the Indian products.
Thus there was a bullion influx in India which is attested to by the contemporary records.
This had two major effects:
(a) resentment in Europe; and
(b) Price rise in India.
This silver / bullion was coming through the Levant (eastern part of the Mediterranean) and the Cape of Good Hope. The American silver was also coming from other channels – over the Pacific via Manila, as well as Japan.
Much resentment in Europe was provoked due to this influx of silver in India between the latter half of the sixteenth and the seventeenth Centuries. This reaction was due to the fact that it was against the current mercantilist sentiments which measured a country's wealth in the amount of gold and silver it possessed.
Between 1500 and 1650, India received according to an estimate, 6000 metric tons of silver. Much of it was absorbed by and expansion in the Mughal silver coinage, which was replacing the copper money. But then after 1615, as the influx continued, it resulted in a price rise.
According to Shireen Moosvi ["Silver Influx, Money Supply, Prices and Revenue Extraction in Mughal India", Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient, vol. 30, 1987, pp. 47-94] between 1615 and 1705, the silver price of gold rose by 33 %, and that of copper by 110.4 %.
But then, according to Moosvi, the theory of the extension of 'Price Revolution' to India may in fact be an exaggeration. For according to her, for around 90 years such increase as cited by her, seems moderate, especially since when there was a rising demand of copper for the manufacture of canons. This demand may explain the marked ascent in its prices.
It has also been argued that the actual effect of the influx of silver would also have been neutralized by the hoarding as well as the Indian taste for ornaments.
Irfan Habib in his Agrarian System (pp. 445-49) has also put forward his reservations. He also believes that the view of 'Price Revolution' may have probably been overstated. However, according to him, this influx might have resulted in fall in interest rates, as it was partly fuelled by transfer of usury capital.
Tapan Raychaudhury, on the other hand, believes that the doubling of prices during the first 60 years of the 17th Century ( as well as the doubling during the first 50 years of the 18th C), although actually not much: over a span of 150 years, it came to only 1.93 % increase annually – it still was much for the pre-capitalist economies. Thus one cannot therefore assume that the 'Price Revolution' in India left its economy unaffected!
Thesis of Companies vs. Peddlers:
The term Pedlar means an itinerant trader in small goods.
IN 1955 Van Leur wrote Indonesian Trade and Society. Essays in Asian Social and Economic History which yielded a picture of Asian trade that contrasted sharply with the trade of Europe. In his view the international trade of Asia before the coming of the Europeans was a trade in high value products by a numerous body of pedlars whose transactions were small.. Van Leur was basically dealing with Indonesia.
Neil Steensgaard extended this thesis to India. According to him there was an absence of large commercial firms in India: all the trade instead, was carried out exclusively by the small and petty merchants and traders. These petty merchants comprised the majority of the passengers on the merchant' ships. They travelled with one or two bales of textiles every year. They had no great firms to back them and were thus only pedlars. Indian trade was thus merely a peddling trade.
Proceeding from this hypothesis, it has been suggested by Steensgaard that European oceanic trade, especially when organized under large scale national monopolistic companies, was conducted more efficiently and with smaller risk as compared to the traditional commerce of the Asian pedlars.
But then other historians like Irfan Habib, Tapan Raychaudhuri, Ashin Dasgupta and others have shown that this hypothesis may not actually be true. Indian merchants within them had men with large capital stock and efficient information networks which helped them cut costs in ways European companies could not. Examples can be given of merchant princes like Mulla Abdul Ghafur and Virji Vora who could even finance the EIC.

Video: Wrestling with an AC Cobra around Goodwood in the wet
Tickets now available for the Goodwood Revival
Andrew Craig
Last year the prestigious RAC TT Celebration Race was won by Giedo van der Garde and David Hart in the latter's AC Cobra. Conditions were good and both drivers made a fine account of themselves. Today however, as well as both were pedalling the conditions were… well, you'll have to see for yourself!
Suffice to say that grip was at something of a rarity, as confirmed by the former Caterham F1 driver. 'In the dry, with these (Dunlop Historical) tyres fitted there isn't really much grip. Out there today in these conditions it is almost impossible; with this much torque you could spin the tyres all the way down the straight in top gear if you liked!'
Furthermore, Giedo had some doubt about the Cobra's competitiveness if this year's race is held in similar conditions. 'There's just too much torque. I reckon the six cylinder cars will fare better if it's like this.' Rainy or not though, the Dutchman is keen to return for the Revival: 'Last year was my first time here. Of course I'd heard of the event before but honestly had no idea it was as good as it is. The people and how they dress up were incredible. And of course there were all the cars!'
Come rain or shine Giedo will be welcomed back and, reunited with David Hart, the pair will be giving it everything to retain the coveted trophy and enjoy another post-race winner's cigar. Mind you, if conditions mirror today's then might we see another usually-unfancied car more suited to wet conditions win, like the Freidrichs/Hadfield Aston Martin Project 212 car did in 2013 …?

Analysis of My Family History to Define My Identity
Subject: Life, Sociology
Category: Family, Individual and Society
Essay Topic: Family History, Personal Identity, Self Identity
There are approximately 7.7 billion human beings around the world. So what sets me apart from others? It is my identity that sets me apart from others. I think of it as singular (male) and multifaceted (family identity). To me family identity means a socially and historically constructed concept and it is important because it makes me feel part of a constellation of people who identify themselves the same as I do. Keeping this in mind I think of my family identity is that I am Pakistani-Sindhi-Hindu-Maheshwari human whose ancestors have been living in fertile deserts of Tharparker for more than one millennium. At a closer look many cultural, traditional and religious identities come together to form my family history which sometimes becomes complex for me to understand. However, I find it easy to define my identity by relating it to the structure of a tree. To start from the roots of the tree, my family is a follower of Sanatana Dharma which is considered the oldest culture and religious tradition in the world. Its followers use term Dharma because it is broader than the western term religion. It is about the basic virtues of human existence. Therefore my family instilled in me teachings of Sanatana Dharma from the very beginning because they considered it a more basic pathway (lifestyle) than religion for human beings. As roots of a tree are not visible but they strongly hold the tree, Dharma values hold the basis of a person like me in this world. They might not be visible at the time, but these roots of values are something that give me an understanding of the world.
When I proceed to trunk from roots, I become a Hindu. Because whenever someone hears my name the first thing they say about me is 'You are Hindu. Right?' However, as a follower of Sanatana Dharma, I prefer to call myself a Sanatani but the term Hindu became apparent when the British colonized the Asian subcontinent. So in the modern world, based on religion I identify myself as Hindu. As I go into details and talk about the texture of trunk i.e. individuality within Hinduism, my family then belongs to Maheshwari samaj. Maheshwari is a caste that emerged in the 8th century when groups from Kshatriya Varna (caste for warriors) changed to Vaishya Varna (caste for businessmen). They originated in Rajasthan and the Thar Desert. Their main occupation was trade and commerce. This identity is intact from more than one millennium and it creates a sense of unity in Maheshwaris. Being Maheshwari in Tharparker has its perks in the sense that the dignity and authority that come with it is intriguing. This is how simple texture on the trunk of the tree makes it unique and more noticeable.
The trunk then splits into two strong branches. First and the oldest branch of my identity is Sindhi identity. This identity connects me to one of the oldest civilizations of the world i.e. Indus valley civilization. Being a part of the massive Sindhi culture and tradition that incorporates folklore, music and certain customs, makes me feel connected to its roots that have been laid down during Indus Valley Civilization. However, my ancestors have been between the areas of Sindh and Rajasthan. So I enjoy a blend of Sindhi and Rajasthani culture. This blend of culture which exists in Thar makes my Sindhi identity more diverse and colorful. The second and most prominent branch of my identity is Pakistani identity. This is the most prominent identity for two reasons. One reason is that of religion that is according to Hinduism one of my prime duty is toward goodwill of my country therefore from beginning my family enrooted in me a sense of patriotism. And I feel proud to respect and own this identity of being a Pakistani. The other reason that makes this branch more pronounced is the recognition I get from the world. I am proud of what distinguishes me as a Pakistani for its glorious past and the hard-earned efforts of those who have protected it, and this is how people all around the world recognize me.
My structure of the tree (identity) is ready to be presented but something imperative is missing from the structure. When I think of the missing part I get to know that I am missing out leaves of my tree. Leaves in my tree represent humanity. When I ask myself where these leaves of humanity get their energy from, then I get to know that the roots of Dharma and values provide the necessary energy. Most people in today's world have an incomplete structure that varies from roots to branches (differences in cultural, tradition, and religion) and does not have leaves of humanity. These differences are abstract to me. Because these differences create segmentation in society rather than the cultivation of strong ties in society. It is by the leaves of humanity these differences can be reduced. Therefore, for me most of my tree is covered by leaves of humanity that is I identify myself as a human being on a universal level whose prime function is to help other humans despite their cultural, traditional, and religious differences. Family identity is important because it gives uniqueness to us but the very purpose of identification in today's world is not fulfilled rather it creates discrimination in the society. This discrimination based on culture, gender, and religion can be removed by bringing in humanity. We are not defined by our names, by lines on a map or by societal divisions. We are defined by our hearts that makes us all human and yet sets us apart as individuals. To conclude, I am Pakistani-Sindhi-Hindu-Maheshwari .But above all, I am a human whose culture, custom, tradition, and religion is humanity.

Co-firing biomass plants are of extensive demand due to utilization of both agricultural residues (main) and natural gas (stand-by). Researchers have shown that one strategic decision in establishment of agricultural residues based plants, is location optimization problem. Moreover, mismatch between agricultural lands and biomass plants can lead to high transportation costs and related carbon dioxide emissions. Standard indicators are considered and used for the stated multi-objective mathematical problem. This article presents a novel approach based on Z-number data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to handle severe uncertainty associated with actual data. The multi-objective mathematical model considers environmental, economic and social aspects of biomass plants. Moreover, fuzzy DEA model is utilized to verify and validate the results of Z-number DEA model through 30 independent experiments. The obtained results indicate that "accessibility to water", "population", "cost of land", and "unemployment rate" are the most significant factors in location optimization of co-firing power plants. The obtained results also indicate that "Ilam", "Semnan", "Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-ahmad", "South Khorasan", and "Chaharmahal and Bakhttiari" are the optimum locations. This is the first unique approach for location optimization of co-firing plants based on combined agricultural residues and natural gas under uncertainty. Second, a unique fuzzy mathematical optimization approach is presented. Third, it is a practical approach for biomass power plants.

Q: i want to make a saving top 5 scores system that saves the top 5 scores of a dice game and deletes the previous 2 saved. please and thank you with open('h:\scores.txt', 'a') as f:
    f.write(f"{userr},{p2score}\n")
    f.write(f"{user},{p1score}\n")

I understand that this code will save two variables in a separate text document. It will save their user and player 1 and 2 scores. What I'm having trouble with is creating a top-five system where the top-five scores are also saved in the same file. I also need it so that if the game is run again, it will delete the previous two it saved and save the two new ones.
None of my attempts have been substantial.

A: Assuming you already have a filled score.txt file with 7 lines, the first 2 being the scores of the last game and the next 5 being the ordered 5 best scores, for example:
Joe,1
Jane,2
Zia,67
Tao,55
Esteban,45
Mendoza,32
Cornelius,12

At some point you'll want to read the file:
with open('scores.txt') as f:
    p1, p2, *top5 = f.readlines()
# removing the endlines from the scores
top5 = [score.strip() for score in top5]

After a game, you'll have new scores, for example:
userr, user = 'player 2', 'player 1'
p2score, p1score = 48, 20

You'll need to update the top5; there are many ways to do this; you can add the new score to the top5 list, sort it by descending scores then keep the first 5 entries:
new_score1 = f"{user},{p1score}"
new_score2 = f"{userr},{p2score}"
top5 += [new_score1, new_score2]
top5.sort(key = lambda s: -int(s.split(',')[-1]))
top5 = top5[:5]

print(top5)
# ['Zia, 67', 'Tao, 55', 'player 2,48', 'Esteban, 45', 'Mendoza, 32']

Finally, update scores.txt:
with open('scores.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(f"{new_score2}\n")
    f.write(f"{new_score1}\n")
    for score in top5:
        f.write(f"{score}\n")

Now all you have to do is place these code snippets at relevant places in your game's code.

The SNP's Clare Adamson has called on the Tories to heed fresh warnings from UK Steel and rule out a no-deal Brexit or risk the future of Scotland's steel industry.
The industry group has advised MPs that the sector would be "severely disrupted" by extra paperwork, tariffs and border delays – threatening jobs across the country, including the Dalzell and Clydebridge plants which were saved from closure in 2016 by the Scottish Government.
As reported in the Financial Times, departure from the EU without an agreement would mean tariffs in markets accounting for 97% of the UK steel industry's outbound shipments, up from about 15% at present.
Last year, the European Commission announced it was increasing import tariffs on Chinese steel. However with the Tories intent on dragging the UK out of the single market and customs union these protections could be compromised – a move UK Steel has also previously spoken out against.
"With the future of Scotland's steel industry at stake, it's time the UK government took heed of the warnings from UK Steel and ruled out a no-deal Brexit.
"An extreme Tory Brexit would mean tariffs on Scotland's steel exports, putting jobs at Clydebridge and Dalzell on the line.


OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of endoscopic treatment of vesicorenal reflux by Macroplastique implantation versus Teflon implantation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 297 children with 454 refluxing vesicorenal units were treated by endoscopic implantation of Macroplastique (Uroplasty)-A.B.S.: 385 cases of primary reflux and 69 cases of secondary or associated reflux. All children were reviewed by ultrasound and cystography 6 weeks and 1 year after implantation.
RESULTS: Regardless of the aetiology and the grade, reflux resolved in 91.2% of children (93.3% of ureters). Complications such as ureteric stasis were rare (3 cases). 161 children (253 ureters) were reviewed 1 year after treatment: reflux had recurred in 8.7% of patients.
CONCLUSION: Although the mean quantity implanted was lower with Macroplastique, the results appeared to be better than those obtained with Teflon (bases on a previous series of 402 children: cure for 87.1% of ureters and 85.7% of children). The advantages of Macroplastique compared to Teflon include the less liquid consistency, the absence of retraction of the product and the presence of larger microparticles without any local or distant inflammatory reaction.

Gaza Conflict Report – November 13, 2018: Gaza Is On Edge Of Israeli Ground Invasion
…from SouthFront
The Gaza Strip is on the brink of a large-scale Israeli military intervention.
The current round of escalation started on November 11 when a covert unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) opened fire at a patrol of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas military wing, in the town of Khan Yunis inside the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) supported the retreating IDF unit by airstrikes. At least 7 Palestinians, including Nur Barake, a deputy commander of an elite unit of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and a lieutenant colonel of the IDF were killed in the clashes. Another IDF service member was injured.
In response to the raid, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades launched at least 17 projectiles at Israeli targets east of Gaza. 3 of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome. The IDF described the Palestinian retaliation as an act of the terror and claimed that its covert operation in Gaza was not aimed at killing or abducting anybody, but "to strengthen Israeli security".
The incident triggered a mass hysteria within Israeli media and political leadership, with multiple reports and statements calling for a wider military action against Hamas. Over the past few weeks, the IDF has concentrated a notable ground force, including battle tanks and other military equipment, near the Gaza contact line amid similar statements from top Israeli officials calling for an invasion in Gaza.
In the evening, of November 12, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades kicked off a new round of rocket strikes on Israeli targets by launching at least 80 projectiles. The IDF responded by a massive airstrike on the Gaza Strip. In the framework of this effort, the IDF intentionally destroyed the building of the Al-Aqsa TV network to undermine the Palestinian media capabilities in the conflict.
By November 13 morning, Palestinian armed groups have launched over 370 rockets at different targets across Israel, including some on the coast of the Dead Sea. They avoided to strike the most populated areas in central Israel, but warned that if the IDF continues its actions they can do this. Additionally, a unit of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades also targeted an IDF bus with anti-tank guided missile.
According to the IDF, about 100 of 370 rockets were intercepted. Meanwhile, the IDF has continued its massive strikes on Gaza claiming that up to 100 military targets have been destroyed so far.
The IDF is actively deploying additional troops and battle tanks near Gaza and if the situation continues to escalate the ground operation may be launched in the nearest future.

nothing will stop israel or change its policy until it is demonstrated its cities and structures can be targeted and destroyed……i think it only common sense that says until i can harm you in a way you can not recover from…you will continue to strike me at will.
Pablo November 14, 2018 at 3:05 am
RT ran the article with multiple video that claimed Hammas used a anti tank weapon on a bus. This article is total bs. And it's no wonder no other media is ad nausium showing it. It's an obvious bomb on board the bus that hurt a young conscript. No streaking smoke trail etc would only leave those that claim this …like this article to the lambasting they deserve.
This one fact would change much in the conflict if it was true. Hammas now in possession of high tech weapons. Israel's inability to know and destroy these weapons . The balance of power changes for impunity regarding military operations in Gaza. Anyways not a peep from this obvious failed lie. Well except from this author who repeating the lie doesn't make it real
Cindy Myer November 14, 2018 at 3:43 am
It wasn't a bomb on the bus. I saw the video on southfronts site and it showed the clip slowed down and you can definitely see an object flying into the bus a split second before it explodes.

Behind the scenes of the Humans of Denison
By Jewell Porter
When students logged onto Facebook a couple weeks ago, they found a new Denison-related page circulating around the Internet: Humans of Denison. Jenny Kim '16 from Seongnam, South Korea, Asesha Dayal '17 from Mumbai, India and Ridhem Seth '17 from Calcutta, India, founded this page because they are all fans of the Humans of New York page. Dayal said they wanted to start something similar on Denison's campus.
Unlike some other pages that have gained popularity on the Internet, however, the purpose of this page is to put a story behind the faces of students around on campus. Kim said, "we wanted to give some information behind some of the people we all see every day."
Dayal said that, in order to get the content and pictures for the page, the three managers gather together to cover specific segments of campus per day. She continued, "we notice something unique about [the interviewees] and ask them questions. If they're doing something, we just ask them what they're doing."
Seth said that when they find a subject to interview, they simply have a conversation with them to find something interesting. He said, "we record everything they're saying and quote the thing we find most interesting. We look for something short, yet impactful."
In addition to interviewing students in their everyday lives, they also cover specific events. For example, they said for Hijab Day a couple weeks ago, they specifically looked for students participating in Hijab Day to interview for their page.
The founders of Humans of Denison received a lot of unexpected attention for their Facebook page. Students from the College of Wooster, for example, created their own "Humans of Wooster" page three days after the Humans of Denison page was created. They then messaged our own trio on Facebook for tips on how to run their own page.
In addition to this, they have also received positive feedback from Denison alum. Kim said, "we've gotten messages from alumni who appreciate feeling connected to the school." She said that the page has acted as a medium for connecting members of the Denison community who are on campus, abroad and already graduated from the University.
If you'd like to see the page for yourself, please "like" Humans of Denison on Facebook.

Hyderabad: Though the Congress is keen to announce its candidates by end of this month for the Parliament elections, no clarity on the alliance with Peoples Front partners may delay it.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leaders are non-committal on the alliance issue and left it to the All India Congress Committee (AICC). The issue of continuing with the Peoples Front has not figured in the recent meetings being held by the AICC.
According to sources, the TPCC is not keen on continuing with the Peoples Front and it may seek the support of the other alliance partners to Congress candidates in the Parliament polls.
The Congress has not initiated any discussion with the other partners in the Peoples Front so far and this indicates its aversion on continuing with the Front.
Party leaders said that the TPCC leaders are trying to convince the alliance partners to support the Congress candidates. However, it is doubtful whether the alliance partners, Telugu Desam Party, Telangana Jana Samithi and Communist Party of India would accept the proposal of not fielding their candidates in the Parliament elections.
Party leaders said that the Congress is not keen on continuing in the Peoples Front as it did not see any benefit. They said that if the results of the just-concluded Assembly elections are any indication, the Congress would not get any benefit with the alliance.
In the Assembly elections, the Telugu Desam, Jana Samithi and CPI have failed to get votes. Telugu Desam got 3.4 per cent votes and the Jana Samithi did not even cross one per cent of votes.
This made the State Congress to rethink on having alliance with the Peoples Front partners in the Parliament polls. If the Congress wants to continue in the Front it has to concede about four to five seats to the TD, TJS and the CPI.
According Congress leaders, Telugu Desam may ask about two to three seats, the TJS one and the CPI one. But the results of the Assembly elections indicate that the TD, TJS and CPI may not win at least one seat even with the support of the Congress.
On the other hand, the Congress would lose opportunity to contest in four to five seats out of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in the State. The TDP and the other alliance partners would demand seats where the Congress is also strong.
In case of continuing the alliance, TDP, TJS and CPI would ask Parliamentary constituencies like Khammam, Nalgonda and others where the Congress is equally strong.
Several senior leaders of the Congress are averse to the idea of continuing in the alliance. Leaders like DK Aruna, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and others have been opposing the alliance with TDP, TJS and the CPI.

This work will be included in the Catalogue Raisonné of Cy Twombly Drawings being prepared by Nicola Del Roscio.
With tools traditionally reserved for writing, Cy Twombly inscribes wax crayon on pale paper colored with gray house paint. In Untitled, the artist's marks follow the lines of written text but continually avoid legibility. His abstract, gestural forms of Untitled mark it as a characteristic example of the artist's Roman Note series. Spontaneously drawn, the artist's fluid script resembles waxy ribbons of blue, which are accented by faint echoes of similar lines. With graceful simplicity, he captures the ephemeral gesture of his own signature and simultaneously evokes an eternal and universal rhythm.
Living in New York in the 1950s, Twombly found his most lasting stylistic influences amongst the action painters. When the artist began studying art at the Art Students League in 1951, he met the like-minded painter, Robert Rauschenberg, who persuaded Twombly to enroll in Black Mountain College that same year. Twombly studied under such artists as Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell, absorbing the fundamental tenets of Abstract Expressionism. Untitled, with its focus on natural rhythms and spontaneous gestures, demonstrates Twombly deep admiration for Jackson Pollock. Both Pollock and Twombly emphasize meditative movements and elemental forces within their allover compositions: yet while Pollock works in horizontal, full-body sways, Twombly's draws with an intimate painterly touch. Calligraphic in style, Twombly's loose script brings a hesitancy and fragility to a technique as individual as handwriting. Twombly was a key figure in the generation of American artists who explored new painterly signifiers after the emergence of Abstract Expressionism.
As a Roman Note painting, Untitled recalls the artist's deep interest in Greek and Roman antiquity, which stemmed from his tour of Europe and North Africa with Rauschenberg in 1955. As the series' title suggests, Twombly was especially taken with Rome, and the artist moved there two years later. Captivated by the coexistence of the classical and the modern of the city, Twombly was inspired by the dual presence of ancient wall paintings and modern street graffiti. Similarly, Untitled creates new marks, re-clarified with the artist's sleight of hand, and simultaneously references historical precedents. Thus, Twombly presents his work as a personal and universal palimpsest, documenting Twombly's individual gestures while referencing those of the past.

Hamara has grown to be the largest ethnic minority organisation in the voluntary and community sector in Leeds.
Our vision for the new centre
Hamara Successfully acquired the Cockburn Sports centre in Hunslet Moor, Leeds as a community asset transfer with the vision of developing a vibrant and dynamic centre allowing Hamara to respond to the growing community need.
The centre will be accessible and fully functioning to meet the needs of all members whilst delivering essential services across the city.
The centre will be home to our projects on Education and Employment, and in particular will allow us to expand 'Halo', our day opportunities service for adults with learning disabilities and additional needs. This includes purpose-built rooms allowing us to meet the more specialist needs of our members.
Some examples of these rooms are:
Arts room
Quite room
In addition to this the centre will have a state-of-the-art sports hall allowing members and the community to take part in physical activity sessions and provide flexible managed office space for local like-minded charitable organisations to rent.
Our Purpose for the new centre
Our main purpose for this centre is to provide a space and opportunities that allow our members and our community to grow and develop, whether this is by accessing an education programme, taking part in a new project with new and old friends, learning new skills, leading a group or just relaxing and enjoying the lively environment we are known for, whilst enjoying a coffee in the café. There is something for everyone!
This new building will be run by the community for the community, led by adults with additional needs and a team of motivated, friendly and diverse volunteers.
We have over 20 years' experience of working city wide to provide projects for adults, youth and Older people, which promote equality and diversity and challenge discrimination.
We know that this is only the 'tip of the iceberg' and there is still a lot of work to do which is why we are always striving to grow in everything we do.
We now have completed RIBA Stage 2 of the design phase and are working towards approval of our planning application. We plan to move quickly into detailed design (RIBA stage 3) and competitive tendering exercise (RIBA stage 4) soon and then onto construction (RIBA stage 5).
How you can support us to support more
We have already secured funding from Power to change, Sport England and Co-op Foundation. We have also applied to Wolfson Foundation (Final Stage), Garfield Weston Foundation (Final Stage), Peter Harrison Foundation and Reaching Communities Lotteries Fund. Once our planning application is approved we will apply to other funders/foundations such as Clothworkers, TheKeyFund, Mondegreen Landfill, Bernard Sunley and Bailly Thomas.

What is worry? As a verb it is defined as the ability to give way to anxiety or unease; allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. As a "noun" it is a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems. By careful observation, the words "give way" (meaning "allow"), was highlighted because i want the reader to be aware that the external elements (the experiences that we encounter)of life are not the major cause of this destructive emotion. It is the internal (conflict)dialogue, from our conscious(something we "can control")that destroys our ability to remain in a state of tranquility. Surely, people that are mentally unstable lack the ability to fully control this emotion and i am aware of that, so, this is for people who can make rational decisions without medicine.

Q: Аргументы стрелочной функции Доброго времени суток.
Подскажите, пожалуйста, смысл записи аргументов:
 const eventHandler => argument => event {
           //   some function
        }

A: Здесь есть функция, которая принимает аргументом eventHandler и возвращает функцию, которая принимает аргументом argument и возвращает функцию, которая принимает аргументом event. Например:
const f = eventHandler => argument => event => {
    return eventHandler + argument + event;
};

global.console.log(f(1)(20)(300));

На выходе будет 321

A: Спасибо, понял. Это как:
const evenHandler = function(argument) {

Heart Health Behavior Cardio-Vascular Exercise
Night shift work is linked to increased risk of heart problems
Posted on Aug 17, 2021, 9 a.m.
People who work night shifts are at increased risk of developing an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF), according to research published in the European Heart Journal.
The study is the first to investigate the links between night shift work and AF. Using information from 283,657 people in the UK Biobank database, researchers found that the longer and more frequently that people worked night shifts over their lifetimes, the greater their risk of AF. Night shift work was also linked to an increased risk of heart disease, but not to stroke or heart failure.
In addition, the researchers, led by Professor Yingli Lu, of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China, and Professor Lu Qi, of Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, New Orleans, USA, investigated whether genetic predisposition to AF could play a role in the increased risk. They evaluated the overall genetic risk on the basis of 166 genetic variations known to be associated with the condition but found that the genetic risk levels did not affect the link between working night shifts and AF risk, regardless of whether participants had a low, medium or high genetic risk.
Prof. Lu said: "Although a study like this cannot show a causal link between night shifts and atrial fibrillation and heart disease, our results suggest that current and lifetime night shift work may increase the risk of these conditions.
"Our findings have public health implications for preventing atrial fibrillation. They suggest that reducing both the frequency and the duration of night shift work may be beneficial for the health of the heart and blood vessels."
The study included 286,353 people who were in paid employment or self-employed. A total of 283,657 of these participants did not have AF when they enrolled in UK Biobank, and 276,009 did not have heart failure or stroke. Information on genetic variants was available for 193,819 participants without AF, and 75,391 of them answered in-depth questions about their lifetime employment in a questionnaire sent out in 2015. Among the participants free of heart disease and stroke when they joined the study, 73,986 provided information on their employment history. During an average follow-up time of over ten years, there were 5,777 AF cases.
The researchers adjusted their analyses for factors that could affect the results, such as age, sex, ethnicity, education, socioeconomic status, smoking, physical exercise, diet, body mass index, blood pressure, sleep duration, and chronotype (whether someone was a 'morning' or an 'evening' person).
They found that people who currently worked night shifts on a usual or permanent basis had a 12% increased risk of AF compared to people who only worked during the day. The risk increased to 18% after ten or more years for those who had a lifetime duration of night shifts. Among people who worked an average of three to eight night shifts a month for ten years or more, the risk of AF increased to 22% compared to daytime workers.
Among participants currently working night shifts, or working night shifts for ten or more years, or working a lifetime of three to eight night shifts a month, the risk of coronary heart disease increased by 22%, 37%, and 35% respectively compared to daytime workers.
Prof. Qi said: "There were two more interesting findings. We found that women were more susceptible to atrial fibrillation than men when working night shifts for more than ten years. Their risk increased significantly by 64% compared to day workers. People reporting an ideal amount of physical activity of 150 minutes a week or more of moderate-intensity, 75 minutes a week or more of vigorous-intensity, or an equivalent combination, had a lower risk of atrial fibrillation than those with non-ideal physical activity when exposed to a lifetime of night shift work. Thus, women and less physically active people may benefit particularly from a reduction in night shift work."
A strength of the study is its size, with detailed information on over 283,000 people. In addition, it is the first study to link these data with genetic information in a population that also has detailed histories available on current shift work and lifetime employment.
Limitations of the study include the fact that it cannot show shift work causes heart problems, only that it is associated with them; some cases of atrial fibrillation may have been missed; lifetime employment was assessed only when people joined UK Biobank, was self-reported, and, therefore, may have changed or be prone to some errors; there may be unknown factors that might affect the results; and the people in UK Biobank were mainly white British and so it may not be possible to generalize the findings to other ethnic groups.
Prof. Lu said: "We plan to analyze the association between night shift work and atrial fibrillation in different groups of people. This may strengthen the reliability of these results and serve as a warning to groups working in certain types of occupations to get their hearts checked early if they feel any pain or discomfort in their chests."

Science Committee Republican Leaders Say COMPETES Act is a Failure of Bipartisanship
117th Congress Global Competitiveness
(Washington, DC) House Science, Space, and Technology Committee Ranking Member Frank Lucas was joined by the Ranking Members of each subcommittee in criticizing the so-called "COMPETES Act" passed today.
The nearly 3,000-page COMPETES Act passed on a on a party-line basis.
"At every turn this was a failure of bipartisanship and a failure of policymaking," Lucas said. "I'm deeply frustrated that instead of taking action on the Science Committee's bipartisan legislation, Speaker Pelosi chose to create a massive bill filled with controversial provisions that she knew could not garner support from both sides of the aisle. Democratic leadership ignored two years' worth of good faith negotiations so they could move yet another unpopular, one-sided bill that allows them to expand their big government and big spending agenda. We could have passed a targeted, strategic competitiveness bill with broad support from Republicans and Democrats alike. The decision to make this partisan reflects Democratic leadership's skewed priorities: partisan messaging over policymaking. I worry about what this means for future bipartisan collaboration within the House. I hope that when we move to conference this legislation with the Senate, we can work to remove extraneous, partisan provisions and focus on the necessary legislation to ensure American competitiveness with China."
"We had bipartisan momentum to take action on China. Instead, Speaker Pelosi managed to poison badly needed legislation that could have advanced American competitiveness," Energy Subcommittee Ranking Member Randy Weber said. "So, rather than voting on this partisan catch-all bill, with more references to coral reefs than to China—a bill that is Dead-On-Arrival in the Sente—let's focus on what's important. Let's bolster innovation, while holding China accountable for its actions. The stakes are higher than ever—without strategic investments in American research, our national security and economic prosperity are at risk. The majority's bill did not get us any closer to making America better."
"Instead of increasing our competitiveness and combating threats from adversaries, this bill puts Communist China in a strategic position to capitalize off the American taxpayer," said Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee Ranking Member Brian Babin. "The hard work and bipartisan collaboration of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee has been obliterated for shameful political theater. The Democrats consistently put messaging over good governance, and it's destroying our country."
"Democrats wasting an opportunity to counter the Chinese Communist Party's malign influence to instead pass the Build Back Better Backup Plan under the banner of "China" is dangerous," said Research and Technology Subcommittee Ranking Member Michael Waltz. "Democrats' approach compromises the Science Committee's work to graduate more STEM students, develop a high-tech workforce, and invest in research and technologies to maintain America's edge."
"It's disheartening that Democrats chose to politicize effective, strategic, and bipartisan legislation that the House Science, Space and Technology committee crafted throughout this year," said Environment Subcommittee Ranking Member Stephanie Bice. "We needed a bill that would actually strengthen American competitiveness and address the pressing threat of the Chinese Communist Party, not a far-left climate bill disguised as foreign policy."
"For more than a year, this Congress has worked to craft serious bipartisan policy solutions to improve our competitiveness with China and protect American technology from espionage and unfair trade practices," said Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee Ranking Member Jay Obernolte. "Unfortunately, the America COMPETES Act abandons that effort and couples endless reports, unenforceable 'senses of Congress,' and a bloated $325 billion price tag with numerous unrelated provisions and partisan poison pills. This is bill is not a serious proposal, and I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to abandon it and return to the work we set out to accomplish."
The House Science Committee began the process of developing competitiveness legislation two years ago with bipartisan discussions. The Committee conducted multiple hearings, gathered stakeholder feedback, held markups, and ultimately produced a package of solid, consensus legislation that would invest in basic research and development, strengthen American competitiveness, and address the growing threat from the Chinese Communist Party. The bills earned overwhelming bipartisan support in the House and have been ready to conference with the Senate since June.

§ 192-2 Prohibited activities; exceptions.
§ 192-3 Penalties for offenses.
It has been the experience of other municipalities that tattooing has led to increased cases of serum hepatitis. It has also been their experience that regulatory measures have proved ineffective in eliminating this health risk because of the inability to supervise tattooing establishments at all times. The Village of Irvington also lacks the resources and personnel to supervise tattooing establishments on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees finds that in this Village, as in other communities, a ban on tattooing, except for medical purposes, is the only feasible means of protecting the public against disease from this source.
It shall be unlawful for any person to tattoo a human being within the Village of Irvington, except that tattooing may be performed for medical purposes by a person licensed to practice medicine.
Any tattooing establishment operating in the Village of Irvington as of the effective date of this chapter can be continued in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. At the time any such establishment(s) ceases to operate or if there is a change of ownership of such establishment(s), this chapter shall be applicable to said establishment(s).
