The Islamic State in Afghanistan Is Down, but Not Out

Nineteen years after the al Qaida attacks of September 11, 2001, American troops are still deployed in Afghanistan, although there is a new enemy that has emerged to destabilize the country—the Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISKP. The Afghan Taliban—the same group that provided sanctuary to al Qaida as it planned the 9/11 attacks—is on the verge of entering into a power-sharing agreement with the Afghan government in a peace deal facilitated by the United States.
President Donald Trump seems determined to draw down the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan to 4,000 soldiers before the presidential election in November. This would be the lowest number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan at any point since just after 9/11. The United States seems to be holding out hope that a potential peace deal will stabilize Afghanistan. Giving the Taliban partial responsibility in governing the country, so the logic goes, could make the group a vested stakeholder in ensuring a de-escalation of violence.
But ISKP remains a growing concern, even as U.S. CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie is optimistic that the Taliban will actually help the United States fight against ISKP militants, as he said back in mid-March. But even as the Taliban and ISKP might remain adversaries, for the United States to rely on the Taliban—a group it has fought against for the past two decades—as a cornerstone of its counterterrorism strategy, seems a risky proposition.
ISKP in Afghanistan is strongest in the strategically important provinces of Nangarhar and Kunar. However, it still retains the capability to conduct spectacular attacks with near impunity in the Afghan capital, as demonstrated by the deadly attack on a Kabul maternity ward in May. To be sure, ISKP has experienced its share of struggles, including the recent killing of its top judge, Abdullah Orakzai.
Even as the Taliban and ISKP might remain adversaries, for the United States to rely on the Taliban as a cornerstone of its counterterrorism strategy seems a risky proposition.
Yet despite having its leadership targeted and losing territory, ISKP has proven remarkably resilient. Even without large swaths of territory under its control, ISKP retains a robust cadre of committed fighters dispersed throughout Afghanistan. As demonstrated by the Kabul maternity ward attack and an attack that same day on the funeral of a local police commander in Nangarhar, cells of ISKP fighters have the operational space and resources necessary to launch devastating terrorist attacks. Last month, ISKP militants attacked a prison in Jalalabad in an effort to free imprisoned fighters, in one of the group's deadliest attacks to date, in addition to being sophisticated from a tactical and planning perspective.
Following the arrest of Aslam Farooqi, also known as Mawlawi Abdullah Orakzai, ISKP appointed Shahab al-Muhajir as its new regional chief, and many suspect he arranged the prison break to signal an increased operational tempo for the group moving forward. Indeed, in a 20-minute-long audio tape, ISKP spokesman Sultan Aziz Azzam claimed the attack on behalf of the group, provided details of the operation, and stated that al-Muhajir planned and supervised the attack. "The attack is also part of an effort by the newly-appointed ISKP leader to prove his credentials, boost the morale of his followers and possibly attract new recruits," according to Dawood Azami of the BBC.
However, to revive ISKP fully, its new leader will have to overcome a litany of challenges. In neighboring Pakistan, the revival of the Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP), or Pakistani Taliban, adds another potential enemy to what is already a growing list that includes the Afghan Taliban, al Qaida, and the Haqqani Network.
A recent report (PDF) of the United Nations Security Council suggested that more TTP members could join ISKP as a result of shifting political dynamics in Afghanistan, although TTP leadership quickly refuted this claim. Through a press release, the TTP used strong language against ISKP, accusing the jihadists of being a proxy of regional intelligence agencies. Initially a splinter group of the TTP, there are longstanding relationship between members of ISKP and the Pakistani Taliban. Since the split, the TTP supported the narratives of al Qaida and the Afghan Taliban, issuing a detailed religious verdict nullifying the legitimacy of ISIS's claims of a caliphate. Since its re-emergence under the leadership of Muhajir, ISKP has not yet claimed any attacks against the Afghan Taliban, though many suspect these attacks are forthcoming, given the historical animosities between the groups.
For its part, al Qaida in Afghanistan has sought to mostly avoid direct confrontations with ISKP. Still, the recent issues of al Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent's (AQIS) magazine Nawai Ghazwa Hind reveal that their members have played significant roles under the command of the Afghan Taliban in removing ISKP fighters from their strongholds in Nangarhar. These revelations are telling in a number of ways, particularly since peace negotiations between the United States and the Taliban have progressed, al Qaida and AQIS have tried hard to conceal their presence in Afghanistan.
Since the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Baghdadi in October 2019, AQIS leadership has attempted to poach disillusioned ISKP footsoldiers no longer confident about the group's future. Cognizant of the retention challenge, ISKP recently issued a special package of general amnesty for their militants who surrendered to the Afghan government after setbacks in Nangarhar and Kunar, guiding them on how to renew their oaths. Aware of its limitations, ISKP has focused less on holding physical territory and more on spectacular attacks designed to destabilize Afghanistan and draw attention to the group, in an effort to improve morale and keep its name in the headlines. An attack earlier this week against Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh killed ten but failed to take out Saleh. So far, the attack has gone unclaimed, but the Taliban have denied involvement, which leaves ISKP as the only other culprit capable of conducting such a high profile attack. The attempt on Saleh's life comes at a time when the Afghan government is attempting to rejuvenate negotiations with the Taliban.
The withdrawal of U.S. troops will likely impact conditions on the ground in Afghanistan. And the presence of terrorist groups is not a reason in and of itself for the United States to maintain a permanent presence, which is neither feasible nor desirable. But depending in any significant way on the Afghan Taliban to fight ISKP seems foolhardy—American and Taliban interests might temporarily overlap in countering the Islamic State, but the Taliban is not a trustworthy partner. Unless a coherent counterterrorism strategy is laid out, ISKP will continue to recruit, mobilize, and plot new attacks. The Islamic State in Afghanistan may be down, but it's not out.

Indeed ALL of these things possible to do in Unity. It is an enormous and wonderful playground, but you must do your own legwork to identify how to use each part.
im learning it one step at a time, i was looking for a formal explanation on how this would work in my current context not having access to monobehavior or another script.
not having access to monobehavior or another script.
I don't understand what you mean by this, how can you not have access to Monobehaviour if you're using Unity, even if you are writing your own network code?
Btw, I would have pointed you to the same tutorials as those that kurt-decker did.
Explicity, if i could make 1 animation that has an alpha'd (blank) placeholder for all my possible appearance slots that would be ideal, and then just load and cache it on runetime..?

Let's face it, China's military now dominates ASEAN
Peter Layton
With its new air bases and leading-edge air power, China now has the strategic initiative in South East Asia.

Published 16 Jan 2017 10:20 0 Comments
Over the last year, there has been a sharp regional strategic shift. In the South China Sea, China has built six large islands, three substantial air bases and three sizeable electronic surveillance installations. China has effectively moved some 1100km closer to Australia, deep into the geographic heart of the ASEAN region.
Such territorial expansionism is particularly worrying given recent Chinese military developments. Chinese airpower is being rapidly transformed through a major decade-long modernisation program that, as President Xi Jinping directed in 2014, is now accelerating. China's air force has moved from having obsolete 1950s technology to today operating modern combat aircraft and highly-advanced surface to air missile systems.
With its new air bases and leading-edge air power, China now has the strategic initiative in South East Asia. Whenever it chooses, China can deploy to its South China Sea airbases an air combat force larger and more capable than any ASEAN air force.
Of ASEAN's air forces, Singapore's is the most capable, operating some 100 modern fighters, albeit many are normally located offshore at foreign training bases. Given typical maintenance processes and adequate warning, some 50-75 fighters could be surged in a crisis. In contrast, China operates more than a 1000 modern fighters and could deploy 75-100 aircraft across the three islands. China has some further advantages in having sophisticated, readily-deployable surface-to-air missile systems for high-quality island air defence while its fighter aircraft operate elsewhere. Singapore is less well equipped and would need to retain a sizeable fighter force for home air defence purposes. Moreover, China has a variety of long-range land-attack missiles; Singapore does not.
In considering the new Chinese air bases in more depth, most public satellite pictures available date from mid-2016 (though there are also some images from November) and show feverish building activity. The civilian flights to Fiery Cross Reef early in January 2016 also give an indication of the size of facilities there (and the ramp space available). A recent CSIS analysis concludes that each of the three air bases can accommodate 24 fighters and four large transport-sized aircraft for extended periods (see also the BBC). Logistic support for these aircraft is considerably simplified in that each airfield has its own adjacent protected port facilities where tankers and resupply ships can offload. Moreover, the islands are only a couple of days steaming time from China, allowing continuing sea transport support. This proximity – about an hour's flying time – also means aircraft can be swapped into and out of the island bases easily.
With such capabilities, China can now easily enforce an Air Defence Identification Zone across the South China Sea when it deems the time is right. Moreover, for the first time, China poses a realistic air threat to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesian Borneo.
China now dominates militarily the central ASEAN region. In times of peace and crisis, this military capability could be used to intimidate, bully or cajole regional states. In a time of limited regional war, China is now the odds-on favourite.
Current strategies to counter Beijing's behaviour in the South China Sea have failed dismally. ASEAN's multilateral push has stalled on Chinese intransigence and China's splitting of the organisation through peeling away Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines. America's approach of occasionally sailing ships close to the islands is for China a momentary annoyance, at best. President-elect Trump's tweets expressing his displeasure seem similar. China will not suddenly abandon its costly new facilities. They are now a permanent part of our region.
In response, Australia should move from observing failure to active involvement. Adopting a regional risk management approach could markedly improve ASEAN's resilience to Chinese pressure, threats and coercive diplomacy. Such a strategic reorientation would limit the harm that China's new island bases could inflict on ASEAN countries. Given Australia's limited resources, the key ASEAN states we need to work with are the closest: Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
Given the nature of the Chinese challenge, the focus should be on enhancing regional air defence, and for this a useful framework already exists. The 45-year old Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA) encompasses Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and Great Britain. With careful diplomacy and some adjustments, Indonesia could become a partner.
FPDA could provide the peacetime backbone for a region-wide network that in times of crisis could quickly integrate the air defence capabilities of the participating nations. It would give regional leaders confidence to stand up to Chinese pressure. While taking time to build, such a regional air defence framework would build on the trust fostered over many years during multinational air exercises in Darwin.
Some might say that the China challenge is larger than regional collective defence can manage. But the Chinese party-state has considerable prestige invested in the reclaimed islands. It has stoked strong nationalist feelings that have made the islands a strident part of contemporary Chinese national identity. In military terms China's airbases are strong but brittle, with some vulnerabilities that a remade and enlarged FPDA could exploit. Regional defence measures need only create uncertainties in the minds of Party leaders to deter them from employing harassment tactics and coercion. To influence these leaders, the region needs simply to suggest that China may not easily win a conflict. Both individually and collectively, these leaders would suffer a potentially fatal loss of public support if the new air bases were rendered ineffective or damaged.
Ideas for regional collective defence have previously been stillborn. What has changed now is China building large military facilities in the South China Sea and becoming assertive. The domestic focus of some regional states might seem to preclude collective defence but building resilience is an internal measure, not outward directed. Resilience threatens no one while limiting the political, diplomatic and military usefulness the new islands might have for China in times of peace, crisis or limited conflict.

Jellyfish: 15 interesting facts
Mr. Chiggy
Jellyfish: some interesting facts
Hello people! Today we gonna talk on fauna topic: I will highlight some interesting facts about Jellyfish!
So lets start right now!
1. Jellyfish can be flat, stretched, but the most common shape of jellyfish body is domed.
2. The size of Jellyfish is also rather variable — the jellyfish can be very tiny and can grow up to two meters in diameter, and their tentacles can reach a length of 30 meters.
3. There are also colorless, almost transparent individuals, but really amazingly beautiful is so called jellyfish «Noctiluca» thunderbolts by its beauty even experienced sailors.
4. Jellyfish — one of the oldest species of the animal world: they appeared more than 650 million years ago. This means that they are older than dinosaurs and sharks.
5. Jellyfish is still explored not to the full extend, because some kinds of jellyfish inhabit in oceanic depths of up to 10 thousand meters.
6. Today, Jellyfish can be found in some oriental cuisine as one of the ingridients for gourmets, such as Japanese and Chinese.
7. Jellyfish consists of water by 95%, 3-4 % — of salt and 1-2% — of the protein. They also have no heart, no eyes, blood-circulatory system or gills.
8. The poison contained in the tentacles of jellyfish is dangerous to humans. Some jellyfish can sting like nettle, and the effect of the burn will last a few days, while others can cause paralysis that can lead to death.
9. Weight of the large jellyfish can reach up to 200 Kgs, but in fact, despite its huge weight, the jellyfish can not resist the flow.
10. Depending on the type of jellyfish, its color can be white, pink, yellow, orange, red, blue, green as well as it can be multi-colored.
11. Jellyfish are able to navigate and hunt in total darkness.
12. Most jellyfish consist of three parts: a gelatinous body, tentacles that sting and catch the prey, and delicate mouth, which absorbs food.
13. Jellyfish is commonly used in medicine. In the Middle Ages most diuretics and laxatives were produced of kornerota. And nowadays, from the poison contained in the tentacles of jellyfish, people produce drugs for the treatment of pulmonary diseases and blood pressure regulation.
14. Jellyfish help to deal with stress! By the way In Japan, jellyfish are held in aquariums. Smooth, slow movements of jellyfish soothe people, although jellyfish maintainance is very troublesome and expensive.
15. The largest jellyfish in the world is a giant Arctic jellyfish (Cyanea capillata aretica). It lives in the north-west Atlantic area. One of the representatives of this species, which was found on the beach in Massachusetts Bay, had a bell diameter 2.28 m, and its tentacles extended up to 36.5 m. length

I Speak Because I Can
http://www.lauramarling.com/
REVIEW BY: Jono Russell
The problem with success as a young songwriter, particularly the kind of success that Laura Marling enjoyed (a nomination for the prestigious Mercury prize while still a teen), is the weight of expectation that follows. When your first album is nearly flawless, as was the case with Alas I Cannot Swim, there must be a temptation to pack it all in; the pressure of matching it, let alone beating it, must have been overwhelming.
Yet Marling, aided by the wisdom of 'age', a relationship breakdown that was the catalyst for Noah and the Whale's First Days of Spring (she split from frontman Charlie Fink, who was also heavily involved with her first album) and the experience of Ethan Jones as producer (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwright), has not just matched expectations with this follow up - she's exceeded them.
It's not as though the material that forms the bulk of this album is particularly new. Most of the tracks have been floating around the Internet, in some bootleg form or another, for quite some time. But with the ramped up production and Marling's developing voice, some are barely recognizable when compared to their low-fi versions.
What is clear is that this is a far more confident Marling. Her live shows in the Alas era suggested she was very shy and insecure, as even the debut album title suggested. That same cannot be said about her follow up effort, I Speak Because I Can. Whether the newfound confidence is simply as a result of a few more years on the road, her increased popularity – not just in her native England – or simply because she's now reached the ripe old age of 20, doesn't really matter. Whatever it is, the result is a record that will surely challenge for Mercury honors again.
The innocence of Alas is gone. That much is clear from the opening track of the album, a radical departure from anything in Marling's prior catalog. The blues-tinged "Devil's Spoke," also an early single from the album, is driven by an incessant banjo riff with more than a hint of an influence from another of her companions on the London nu-folk scene (and sometime backing band), Mumford And Sons. Marling's vocal part rages over a cacophony of noise: "Eye to eye / Nose to nose / Ripping off each other's clothes in a most peculiar way." It's a world away from the pretty folk-pop that brought her to prominence.
I Speak Because I Can remains, at its core, a folk album, though. After the manic start to the record, Marling's lyrics (arguably her greatest asset) are given full space to shine in "Made By Maid" and the ensuing "Rambling Man." "But give me to a rambling man / Let it always be known that I was who I am," declares Marling, before again the banjo returns to add a rootsy-tinge to what was, in the early recordings, a straight folk tune. It's during this cut that you realize just how much Marling's vocals have developed, as the multitracked harmonies showcase her range and different styles.
If Charlie Fink used Noah And The Whale's album as one longwinded Marling kiss off, "Blackberry Stone" could be viewed as her riposte. "I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered," she laments, "But I understand that I'd never let it go," perhaps in reference to the final track, "Hold My Hand As I'm Lowered," from Noah And The Whale's debut album. Again the arrangement is restrained enough to let her vocals, and lyrics, shine, with the violin providing a pretty counterpoint melody.
Many of Marling's songs are seemingly drawn from literature or poetry, but "Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)" is rare case where there's little ambiguity about meaning. It's simply a love letter to a wintery England, though Marling has revealed it was based on an experience of a childhood walk with her father, who asked her to bring him back to a particularly scenic snow-covered location before he died. As well as the song being pretty enough to make the idea of a freezing cold Britain sound appealing, it also provides the strongest lyric of the album: "I tried to be a girl who likes to be used / But I'm too good for that / There's a mind under this hat."
Marling has never shied away from writing about depressing topics – Alas dealt with death and mental illness, just to name a few – and that trend continues on I Speak. "Hope In The Air" is morbid, both lyrically and sonically: "Oh why fear death, be scared of living," Marling declares, rather ominously.
The most haunting cut is undoubtedly "What He Wrote," a song inspired by wartime love letters. The character appeals to Hera for forgiveness, having exchanged letters with a man despite being "spoken for." The brutal honesty of the closing line – "We write / That's all right / I miss his smell" – is affecting.
But even that can't compare to the opening verse of the title track, which doubles as the album closer. "My husband left me last night / Left me a poor and lonely wife / I cook the meals and he got the life / Now I'm just old for the rest of my time," the character bemoans, before going on to regret never riding her bike "down to the sea." This is easily the finest track of the album; from the subject matter to the arrangement, it serves as a perfect closer to another work of astounding maturity.
It could be considered patronizing to constantly emphasize how young Marling is – and to a certain extent it is. But the simple fact is, there's not many in the world – irrespective of age – making music as beautiful, as thought-provoking and, in a weird way, as uplifting as this. Her young age just makes it all the more amazing. Long may she continue.

In the context of recent media, governmental, academic and popular attention and enthusiasm for debates surrounding the construction and meaning of the British countryside, this paper outlines the potential for oral history to make a contribution. Drawing on work in Devon, UK, we outline how an oral history methodology can engage with the fields of archaeological science and heritage management of landscape resources from the past, before outlining how such lay narratives may also inform present policies for the landscapes of the future. On the one hand we note the potential of oral histories for animating existing scientific narratives of landscape development. Moving from a position of scientific complicity towards one of critical engagement, we then go on to argue that oral histories may also challenge the authority of scientific knowledge, serving to destabilise existing assumptions, and offering in their stead more complex, meaningful and community-led narratives of landscape.

and if possible can i get a link to the article of indiana law that states such things?
cause from the way ive understood it as long as theres no sexual contact until after the age of 18 and the parent consents then it is ok.
Please help me understand things straight and show my dad were he is being overbearing. org/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar42/ch4scroll down to 35-42-4-9 There are no laws against dating. You can date without sexually arousing her or having her sexually arouse you.

it will consider the fact of choosing another person who is older then 18 or else you can wait until she is 18 but in many states all dating in family court are the same and another laws some remain the same others are different because we are united states of america we are um, yeah. In short, if you want to continue this relationship and her parents allow it, plan on keeping your hands, lips and various other body parts to yourself until she is of legal age.
I say appears because the statutes are written very nebulously.

Whooping cranes, snowbirds invade Texas Gulf Coast
Jan 11, 2010 | Fort Worth Star-Telegram by Art Chapman | Related Press
There are two migrations occurring along the Texas Coastal Bend; one is virtually invisible unless you know where to look, and the other is in front of you on the interstate.
The first, which began in early November and will continue through March, is the annual flight of the whooping cranes, those tall, lanky, once nearly extinct birds that somehow make an incredible 2,500-mile trek from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast every year.
From now, until the end of March, the cranes will reside at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, two-by-two. The birds are known to mate for life, but they will take on another partner should one of the pair be lost. Their arrival on the coast is a major event for bird watchers around the world. It's not that the birds are so majestic (though they stand more than 5feet tall and have a wing span beyond 7 feet) but more because of their remarkable story.
They are an endangered species that once numbered in the thousands. But by 1938, the wild flock had been reduced to only 18. Over the years, with careful management and government protection in Canada and the United States, the population of this flock has grown to nearly 250.
This flock comes from Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park; there is another group that migrates from Wisconsin to Florida. It is the Texas flock that is best known and the one closest to extinction.
An estimated 8,000 visitors come each year to the Rockport-Fulton area to see the returning birds. Already this year, the "whoopers," as the bird followers are called, say they've seen 22 juveniles nesting at the refuge. There is hope that this year the number of birds will fly above the 300 number.
Those "whoopers" are among the second migration heading for the Texas coast. They are part of the "Winter Texan" assault — thousands upon thousands of Midwesterners who are fleeing the numbing cold of Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.

Thomas Frank has lauded Neal Maupay as Brentford's leading scorer grabbed his 25th goal this season in a comfortable 2-0 win against struggling Ipswich Town.
The French striker added to his tally when Said Benrahma skipped past a defender to thread him through before he fired past goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski.
Brentford's victory, which saw Ollie Watkins get on the scoresheet eight minutes later courtesy to another Benrahma assist, ends their five-match run without a win.
But Frank has suggested Maupay's exploits are not as surprising anymore due to the work he puts in behind the scenes to become so prolific.
He said: "He always impresses me every day but it's not surprising any of us anymore. He's just so dedicated, so hardworking, so focused, so driven and that's why he's scored 25 goals this season.
"He's one of the big drivers, not only with goals but also a top mentality in terms of training and pushing the culture.
Frank also praised youngster Joshua Dasilva, who impressed enough in the victory to be a man of the man candidate before it eventually went to Benrahma.
The 20-year-old, who made his full home debut against Ipswich, dictated play with his passing while the midfielder's tackling helped to disrupt opposition attacks.
But the Bees boss urged him to improve the defensive side of his game if he is to break into the starting 11 more often.
Frank added: "I was pleased with him. The big thing for me is that he needs to learn the defensive part of the game.
"When we go into pressure he needs to spring the counter-press, spring the carrier runs, all those. You can't underestimate any situations defensively when you play in there.
"I think he did that quite well today. I'm sure when I watch the video back I'll find situations and I'll show him, but I'm pleased with that, and then you can see that beautiful effort. The assist that he should have had for Ollie Watkins was wow.
"I've never been in doubt of him about that part but that's not the thing that will get him into the team, that's the defensive part.

Patricio Freire: A.J. McKee, father will pay for all the sh*t they've been saying
Farah Hannoun and Christian Stein
July 27, 2021 10:30 am ET
Patricio Freire is not happy with some of things both Antonio McKee and his son, A.J. McKee, have said.
Dual-champion Freire (32-4 MMA, 20-4 BMMA) puts his featherweight title on the line against McKee (17-0 MMA, 17-0 BMMA) in the grand prix final, which headlines Bellator 263 on Saturday.
Arguably one of the most important fights in Bellator history, two of the promotion's top talents have been jawing back-and-forth, which has built up the already highly anticipated matchup even more. Both McKee and his father Antonio claimed that Freire hasn't evolved over the years, and "Pitbull" is ready to make them eat their words.
"Pay close attention on July 31," Freire told MMA Junkie in his native Portuguese. "A.J. McKee will pay for all the sh-t he and his father have been saying for years."

Freire thinks he's fought the much tougher competition, not just in the grand prix, but throughout his career. Unbeaten McKee has looked near flawless in the cage, but Freire says "Mercenary" is yet to fight someone in their prime, and he plans on making their clash a rude awakening for him.
"Most of his opponents stepped into the cage with him already expecting to lose," Freire said. "And the biggest names he beat were already in decline, some quite different than from their career apex. I am at my apex, and there are many more things I plan to conquer in this sport. I'm walking into this fight with the intention of beating him up and walking away with a victory."
He continued, "My focus is on my legacy. I'm not thinking about money now. I'm thinking about winning the fight. After the fight, I can think about the money."
Bellator 263 takes place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.

Bellator 263: Make your predictions for Patricio Freire vs. A.J. McKee


This is definitely poetic, for want of better narrative. Finally, Mother-Earth has come to rescue the humanity from the climate-cliff.
To overcome the challenge of climate cliff, Mother Earth has come up with a solution called 'shale gas' – a natural gas located deep below the earth's surface in the shale – thin layers of rock. Even though the same humanity exploited the very Mother-Earth for the selfish purposes that brought us to the cliff in the first place!
Truly, the impending rescue operation demonstrates true motherly spirit, her magnanimity and her 'giving nature'. The life-boat thrown is called 'natural gas' trapped more than 1 km or even 5 km deep down the earth in the shale, i.e. thin layers of rocks. Shale-methane is formed by the microbes which decompose the fossils of higher carbon compounds to its single carbon compound, i.e. methane. The process is aided by pressure of the rocks and also by the heat inside the earth. It was hitherto inaccessible to the mankind. To distinguish it from its commonly accessed methane, it is now baptized as 'shale gas'. Even more Americanized name, etymologically related to the technology used to extract it-is 'fracking gas'. It needs hydraulic pressure to crack the shale to access the gas.
Shale gas bellowing out of bedrocks is becoming the American trajectory of energy independence. If the whole world takes fracking as frantic as USA, the freak and revolution is certainly in making that may even lessen the burden of fuel, food and financial crisis.
Humanity's addictions to burning of fossil fuel from mother earth's interior from the days of the industrial revolution resulted into increasing the concentration of CO2 –a green house gases (GHGs) -in the atmosphere that is responsible for the rise in the global average temperature of the earth. The rise in temperature and increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been strikingly related .
World continued for last two decades to increasingly devour coal, oil and gas in spite of its far reaching and even fatal consequences highlighted by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of United Nations. Global anthropogenic CO2 emissions have seen an increase of about 45 per cent since 1990, which is the same percentage as in the 20 years before 1990. This increase is slap on the face of global consensus on stabilizing the concentration of CO2 in atmosphere.
Such increase in, as per estimate of International Energy Agency, will lead to as much as 5.3 degrees Celsius in next few decades. Considering that global community is frantically trying to limit the temperature rise to 2 deg centigrade, such 5.3 deg rise would put all the countries in dangerous trajectory.
Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. To produce same amount of heat or electricity we need half the amount of natural gas as compared to coal. When compared with oil the amount of natural gas needed is 25 per cent less. Power plants that burn coal also produce other pollutants like more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide apart from twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas. Sulfur dioxide causes acid rain and nitrogen oxides lead to smog. The emissions of mercury- dangerous element that has disastrous health effects that prompted the international Mercury elimination treaty under United Nations-is negligible.
Thus, methane gas or natural gas from fracking has come as an unprecedented opportunity to get respite from ever increasing GHGs.
Like gold-rush years, USA is witnessing 'gas-rush' years. The reserves of the shale gas are yet to be fully mapped and technology to extract it is yet to be mastered well. The estimates of the world reserves of natural gas vary widely.
Today, the debate on shale gas is mainly focused on two issues. First, the technology of extraction of the shale gas, which causes environmental damages of extremely serious nature, is being hotly discussed by the scientists and environmentalists. Number of countries including UK and France has limited the fracking explorations only to the safe, healthy and nature preserving operations. Second, the geo-political changes that shale gas revolution would bring, have become the harvest of predictions and analysis of political pundits and are now close to the reality.

Phoebe asks why Holden flunked out of Pencey. He tries to explain about phonies. Phoebe says Holden doesn't like anything and challenges him to name one thing he likes a lot.
Holden makes his usual claim that his alienation is society's fault, but Phoebe won't let him get away with it.
While thinking up an answer, Holden's mind wanders to the nuns he met that morning, and to James Castle, an Elkton Hills student who committed suicide by jumping out his room window after being bullied by classmates.
Whenever anyone tries to question Holden he immediately thinks of escape, whether a monastery or suicide..
Holden finally says he likes Allie and talking to Phoebe. Phoebe says that doesn't count because Allie is dead.
Holden hates the living world because he's trying to preserve a dead world.
Phoebe then asks Holden what he would like to be. After some thought, he mentions the lyric "If a body catch a body coming through the rye," and says he'd like most to be a catcher in the rye who rescues children from falling off a cliff while playing in a rye field.
Holden's goal in life is to save children from falling off a cliff, just as he wants to save himself from falling into adulthood. This is a really crazy answer. It has no basis in reality.
Phoebe realizes that Holden has misheard the words to a Robert Browning poem. She explains that the actual line from the poem is "If a body meet a body coming through the rye."
The correct poem refers to a sexual encounter. Holden hears what he wants to hear: an innocent version.
Holden thinks about calling up Mr. Antolini, his former English teacher at Elkton Hills.
With his fantasy gone, Holden looks for a new escape.

the flavour of her favourite honey-scented sunscreen.
She lay, mesmerised by the tranquil but ever changing scenery. Her eyelids grew heavy and she drifted into sleep. The last few days had been exciting but very, very tiring.
She woke to the awful feeling of something cold and wet trickling down her face. As she opened her eyes in alarm she heard a giggle and saw that her brother was dripping iced water from a flask held just above her. Anger blazed, she rolled over and, in one swift movement, kicked him on the shin with her hard leather riding boots.
Charles staggered back, hopping on one leg, and stumbled, cursing, down the grassy slope. He collided with the two men who were climbing the slope carrying their huge rucksacks.

Q: Global variable not being updated by override function Im having an issue getting my override function of doGet to update my global arrayList variable "list" so that I can then iterate over it inside of the doPost function. Im somewhat rusty with java as I havent used it in some time, so I cant seem to find the issue other than suspecting it has something to do with the fact that Im using override function(s).

MainAll NewsJewish WorldAnne Frank's Betrayer Discovered?
New book alleges that sister of Bep Voskujil, Otto Frank's secretary, was a Nazi collaborator who tipped the Gestapo to the Frank's hideout.
A book published on Tuesday in Belgium and Holland sheds light on new evidence about Anne Frank and her family and the person responsible for their capture at the hands of the Gestapo in August 1944.
The book alleges that Nelly Voskujil, the sister of Elisabeth "Bep" Voskuijl, one of the Frank's helpers during their periods in hiding, was responsible for turning the families of the "secret annex" over to the Nazis.
According to the book, a biography dedicated to Bep written by Flemish journalist Jeroen de Bruyn and Elisabeth's youngest son, Joop van Wijk, never before seen testimony proves Nelly was the culprit.
Based on the testimonial evidence of Diny Voskujil (a third sister) and Bep's fiance during the war, Bertus Hulsman, as well as other evidence, the authors were able to prove that Nelly collaborated with the Gestapo in occupied Holland from age 19 to 23.
Nelly who passed away in 2001, was 21-years-old at the time of the Franks' arrests.
Bep, who worked for Opekta, one of the businesses owned by Otto Frank, provided food and clothing to the family during their two years in hiding. Her father was the one who installed the famous "library door" concealing the hiding place.
The authors claim that Nelly was angry at her sister Elisabeth and father Johan for helping the Franks go into hiding and more broadly, for their sympathy toward Jews.
The unknown informant has always shrouded the Anne Frank story with mystery. There has been much speculation over the culprit, with a number of cleaning people suspected, but there was never indisputable proof.
"Our conclusion is painful, but clear," the authors wrote.


The AWFS fair, scheduled for July 20-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, has a wealth of offerings for woodworkers, including new technology and machinery debuts, seminars on business solutions, networking opportunities, educational programs and more.
In an interview with Woodshop News, Marguerite Hoffman, the AWFS vice president of tradeshows, gave an overview of the show's planning progress.
"Everything's going very well. After last summer, we were a little nervous as to what was going to happen and, thankfully, the economy is starting to cooperate. Not only have we seen that, but both our machinery and supplier exhibitors have seen that," she says.
Hoffman says that about 600 exhibitors are expected at this year's fair, an increase from 2009, due to the return of the large machinery manufacturers such as Biesse America, Stiles Machinery and Weinig. Many of the exhibitors who downsized their booths at the last fair are returning and asking for more space.
"The good news is that the people who downsized were so thankful that they stayed in the show. Where else are you going to get 9,000-plus customers just knocking on your door, walking in your booth? It was an expense for the companies, but obviously it paid off for them because they're returning this year and it gives them that opportunity again," says Hoffman.
In early March, Hoffman estimated preshow attendance at about 12,000. Final attendance is projected at about 19,000.
The fair, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2009, will mark the 100th anniversary of the AWFS in 2011.
Show programs have grown significantly through the years. This year's fair will feature an expanded educational program, the College of Woodworking Knowledge, with eight tracks and 46 sessions.
"These sessions are being taught by the best in the industry. Nancy Fister, our educational director, goes after good ideas and improves the program every year. Over 25 percent of the attendees attend a seminar while they're at the fair," says Hoffman.
Representatives of WoodLINKS will be on hand to help high school shop instructors improve their programs. A portion of the new skill standards created by the Woodwork Career Alliance will be available on the show floor. The AWFS is also partnering with SkillsUSA to present a cabinetmaking competition.
The fair will also feature the Fresh Wood student design competition, Sequoia Awards for new product innovation, a working cabinet shop exhibit (smartSHOP) and belt sander races.

After an hour on high-speed train, I arrived in my former China home –Changzhou! for the first time since I left almost 3 years ago. I was met at the train station by my former host brother & host dad, and it really felt crazy to be back. Although they had moved houses since I lived with them from 2014-15, they still hosted me while I was there visiting in their new neighborhood, not far from where we lived before. I rested for a little while, then we all went to a big family dinner with the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins I had met before. Dinner was very traditional Chinese-style, with lots of yummy things from the Jiangnan region like fish & shrimp. It was nice to see everyone again, although I still couldn't understand their Changzhou dialect!
The next day, I went with my host brother & cousin to an amusement park called Joyland, about one hour from Changzhou. Since it was a work day, there weren't too many people there, which meant no lines for all the rides & games we did. After a full morning there, we came back to Changzhou, and I went to explore some of the places we hung out at during my NSLI-Y / AFS year, like Injoy shopping center, the Changzhou city wall & canal, and comb lane. Much was exactly as I remembered it from before, which brought back a lot of happy and funny memories. I also met up with some of the current NSLI-Y / AFSers for some milk tea, before my host parents took me to the train station to catch my train to Shanghai just in time!
Once in Shanghai, I took the metro to my friend Hanna's apartment near Fudan University, where she's studying this semester, and we had a late but nice dinner near there and relaxed a bit back at home. Then we met Johan & Kevin, two of my Danish friends for a beer nearby before going to Kartel in Jing'an for rooftop views and chill vibes. After Kartel, we walked all over Jing'an looking for a 7-11, but ended up stopping at White Castle & Family Mart near W. Nanjing Rd. Wandering around that area brought back great memories from my summer in Shanghai, and it felt nice to be back.
The next day, Hanna & I went with a few of her roommates to find the Shanghai History Museum. At first, we thought it was near Lujiazui, so we ended up walking around the Pearl Tower and even stumbling upon an Indonesian Festival, before eventually making our way to our intended museum near People's Park. The museum itself was pretty nice and well organized, and I brushed up on my Chinese history, from a Shanghai point of view. The museum also had a little rooftop with nice views. Nearby, then even had a modern art pop-up in the form of a music box with a DJ inside. After the museum, we stopped by Gil Wonton to eat something, then went back home to get ready for the evening. Since it happened to be Cinco de Mayo, we decided to go to a very American bar in Jing'an I used to go to all the time last summer to celebrate with lots of margs, nachos, & quesadillas, and festive decor. After, we met Johan & Kevin at a bar called Ellen's, then ended the night at Le Baron.
The next morning, Hanna & I went for a delicious Sunday brunch at Liquid Laundry near S. Shaanxi Rd. We ate so much, but I was so happy for good food. From there, we walked through one of my favorite areas of Shanghai, under green trees & stunning architecture, to go to the Propaganda Museum, which had so many propaganda posters from modern Chinese history. Hanna & I both thought the museum was really interesting, and a unique perspective from which to learn about China. The gift shop was also really cool, with original posters for sale, and even North Korean propaganda magazines. We walked around the area a little more, then went home for a nap. For dinner, we went to eat Jiangnan style dimsum — aka xiaolongbao & sesame noodles. So good! Then we went to E. Nanjing Rd., did a little unsuccessful shopping, and met Johan & Kevin at Bar Rouge for nighttime views of the Bund. Since Bar Rouge is pretty expensive, we left after a few photos, got some beers at Family Mart, and strolled along the Bund, which is one of my favorite things to do in Shanghai on a nice night. It was honestly such an enjoyable evening, and I took it all in, knowing it's my last time in Shanghai for the foreseeable future.
In the morning, Hanna went to class & I packed my things, and met her for our last lunch together at a Yunnan restaurant. I had some time to kill before going to Hongqiao to get my train to Beijing, so I chilled at a nice cafe nearby for awhile, and reflected on my recent travels in one of my favorite regions in China. All in all, it felt very nostalgic to be back. I was flooded with memories of my past year in CZ & my recent summer in SH; however, it was still very much a different experience, being here with different friends. I was really happy to be able to hang out with both Hanna & my Danish friends, whom I hadn't seen in quite some time.


So, because I am poor and always in need of something to read, I have ventured into the land of "free" Kindle books. Not the classics, but the promo deals or the ones by indie authors just trying to get noticed. I am fully aware that many of these may be really terrible, but I also know that I can find a jewel here or there. When I do, I will be sure to tell you all about it.
The great thing is that there are daily (sometimes hourly) changes to what Kindle offers for free. Getting a free book feeds my book addiction, but it costs me nothing. And sometimes, you can find really great deals by really well-known authors. For example, I downloaded a free novel by one of my favorite romance authors the other day. Not a snippet, but the whole thing! And, what I have found is that sometimes authors will let you download the first book in a series for free, hoping to get you hooked. I LOVE THEM FOR IT. Seriously.
So, if you have a Kindle (and, I suspect the same is true for Nook) or if you just want to download the Kindle app to your computer to read from there, take a few minutes to browse each day! You might find something great!

Medical student inspired by health-care pioneer
Gavin Raner is one of 13 students across Canada to receive the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame award
By Cam Buchan, Special to Western News,

Topic Headline 4 Other Author Student Life
Breaking down walls and making a difference for others is a connection Gavin Raner has made with a medical pioneer from nearly a century ago.
Raner, now entering their third year as a medical student at Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, is one of 13 students across Canada to receive the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (CMHF) Award, recognizing young leaders who exemplify the qualities of Hall of Fame laureates, including perseverance, collaboration, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Each student award recipient receives a cash prize of $5,000 and a travel subsidy to attend the 2012 Canadian Medical Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Raner's connection is with 2007 inductee Dr. Elizabeth Bagshaw. Bagshaw pursued a career in medicine at a time when most women were not accepted in the field. During her 70-year career as a family physician, Bagshaw pioneered areas of medicine that, while universal now, were not widely practiced at the time.
Raner, who identifies as trans-masculine non-binary, is inspired by Bagshaw's quiet bravery.
Gavin Raner (Mac Lai)
"As someone who is pro transition in a time now when a lot of people are against it, her story inspires me," they said. "Whatever my career direction is, I want to make a difference for people like myself, whether that's directly by providing trans surgeries and operations, or just by providing representation so that other people can be inspired to be themselves and still be in medicine."
With this inspiration in hand, Raner sees their medical career as a way to break down some of the same walls that Bagshaw faced in her day.
"There is an astounding lack of accessibility and information available for trans medicine and people who are looking to transition, especially as younger transgender people," Raner said, who, as part of a first-generation immigrant family, struggled to find a family doctor. "Another sort of area of interest of mine is improving equity in healthcare."
Raner has been active during their time at Schulich on the Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity, Decolonization in their class council.
As they look to the future, Raner sees many short- and long-term goals from which to choose. Helping influence Ontario public policy to improve funding for transition-related services and surgeries in general is one area of focus. But helping in areas where help is most needed, as Bagshaw did, is also a top priority.
"I want to be where I'm needed," they said. "It would be nice to be in a big-city practice. But at the same time, I think what I would value most is being in a place where I can provide the care that is not readily available today."
Students and faculty are invited to the opening of the Hall of Fame's new facility on September 28, 2022. RSVP using the Eventbrite link here.

The Assembly repealed the section of law in order to ensure that parties in small claims actions are treated the same as parties in other civil actions for purposes of being provided interpreters. SB 1155 deletes the provisions that excludes small claims proceedings from the definition of a court proceeding for purposes of the requirement to use certified court interpreters and thereby extend that requirement to all small claims proceedings.
SB 1155 repealed Section 116.660 of the Code of Civil Procedure to strike the phrase "court proceeding." In addition, the law requires each small claims court to make a reasonable effort to maintain and make available to the parties a list of interpreters who are able and willing to aid parties in small claims actions.
The new requirements and repeals language from the California Code of Civil Procedure went into effect on January 1, 2019.
This week's episode of The CAP⋅impact Podcast features a meaty conversation about voting rights and elections with North Carolina Central University School of Law Professor Irving Joyner – who in addition to teaching is Legal Counsel for the North Carolina NAACP. In a conversation that covers gerrymandering, and lawsuits against voter ID laws, and election fraud I did not expect that a history lesson would be the part of the conversation would be most interesting and impactful thing we talked about.
But today's conversation I think is truly about the importance of history and how it still influences voting rights in the present. North Carolina's new voter ID law is a prime example of how. One of the requirements to obtain a driver's license is to have a birth certificate. That might not be an issue for most folks, but for thousands of African Americans in North Carolina who born during the Jim Crow era, it is. That's because Jim Crow laws prevented African Americans from giving birth in hospitals and which in turn prevented them from getting birth certificates. So, should this new voter ID law go into effect in North Carolina, thousands of African Americans will lose their voting rights because they had the misfortune of being born in the Jim Crow south.
That voter ID law is one example of Prof. Joyner's ongoing work to protect voting rights. He was also involved in the process that led to a new election in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District after an investigation confirmed election fraud occurred and has been involved in multiple lawsuits against gerrymandered state legislative and congressional district maps in North Carolina.
You can learn more about Professor Irving Joyner on his NCCU School of Law faculty page and you can find his published work here. As always, if you enjoyed today's conversation please share it with a friend. Or, if you haven't already, please subscribe to The CAP⋅impact Podcast on your preferred podcast listening app and leave us a positive review and 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts.
The CEQA guidelines contain language that is similar to language in Assembly Bill 2782. The bill was actively supported by the California Chamber of Commerce, California Business Properties Association, and California Building Industry Association. Assembly Bill 2782 added Section 21082.4 to the California Public Resources Code and its provisions went into effect on January 1, 2019.
That's the stated purposed of the Legislature's adoption of AB 2782.
