Yemeni Army Closes in on Sanaa Airport Forcing 30 Insurgent Leaders to Escape
by Sa'ed Al-Abyadh | Jun 28, 2016 | Middle East |
Jeddah – Thirty leaders of former guards of Ali Abdullah Saleh have escaped as the National Army arrived at Sanaa airport.
According to a Yemeni military official, the escaping insurgent leaders are high ranking and had pivotal roles.
The source revealed that the military officials escaped from Sanaa towards different locations after realizing that the National Army is about to enter the capital, which is the stronghold for Houthis and their ally Ali Saleh.
According to the same source, the remaining leaders will try to secure an exit within the coming 48 hours. The insurgency leaders will try to escape as soon as possible before the army liberates the city.
In the field, the National Army successfully advanced on all axes, most prominent of them Sanaa airport.
Arab Coalition Forces sent over one thousand fully equipped soldiers to support the National Army on the Lahij front.
According to Deputy Chief of Staff General Naser al-Tahiri, 30 leaders left Yemen secretly towards Arab and other countries.
General Tahiri told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper the leaders have reached a dead end and found they have no solution but to escape the country. He added that some of them issued fake passports or claimed they are going for treatment outside the country, thinking it would make their escape legal.
The Deputy Chief didn't rule out the possibility of more escape attempts in the coming days. He also expected some of the leaders who have captured the Yemeni Minister of Defense to escape as well.
According to Tahiri, legitimate forces follow a clear strategy to advance especially in Fardet Nahim and al-Jawf.
Tahiri confirmed that despite reinforcements, Houthis are devastated. While the army and resistance are at their best.
General Tahiri further added that international community and Arab Coalition Forces are now convinced that Houthi militias don't want peace. He continued that Houthis and their ousted ally took advantage of the Kuwait peace talks to regroup themselves and strengthen their positions.
Regarding the military support coalition forces offered to the army, Tahiri said that the support was in Lahij Governorate where the forces sent about one thousand soldiers with their equipment and vehicles. He explained that some of the sites in the governorate that were under al-Qaeda control, are now under ruled by Houthis.

David Freezer: It's Krul to be kind for Remi but the gloves could still be up for grabs at City

The battle to become Norwich City's new number one is set to be blown wide open.
It's a situation which has prompted plenty of debate among Canaries supporters during pre-season, as Remi Matthews and Michael McGovern have both been given chances to impress.
The duo are vying to prove they are capable of filling the gloves vacated by Manchester City loanee Angus Gunn, who was a Championship ever-present for the Canaries last season.
City head coach Daniel Farke passed up opportunities to back Matthews or McGovern as his number one when quizzed about his keeper options though, suggesting that a new option could still be brought in.

So it came as little surprise to see former Newcastle keeper Tim Krul being linked with an imminent free transfer yesterday, news which was widely welcomed among City fans.
MORE: Former Newcastle and Brighton keeper to join on free transfer
The 30-year-old Netherlands international spent last season at Brighton but only featured as a substitute in the Premier League, with all five of his appearances coming in cup competitions.
Krul made 184 appearances for Newcastle between 2009 and 2015, making his debut as an 18-year-old, keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 Uefa Cup win at Palermo.
After loan spells at Falkirk and Carlisle the Dutchman went on 10 play over 150 Premier League games for the Magpies, including finishing fifth in 2011/12 under Alan Pardew and reaching the Europa League quarter-finals the following year.
He made global headlines in 2014 when brought on just before a penalty shoot-out in the World Cup quarter-finals against Costa Rica, vindicating Louis Van Gaal's faith with two saves to seal victory. However, it was during international action that Krul's career was thrown off course, rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during a 2-1 win in Kazakhstan during European Championship qualifying in October 2015.
By the time he was fit again Newcastle had been relegated to the Championship and a loan to Ajax was arranged. The big keeper wasn't able to play as he struggled to find fitness but did return to action with another Dutch club, AZ Alkmaar, during the latter stages of 2016-17.
After returning to the north-east last summer Krul found himself surplus to requirements at St James' Park under Rafa Benitez and a loan to fellow Premier League side Brighton was secured on deadline day, which was soon made permanent.
Having only turned 30 in April, the shot-stopper has left the Seagulls at the end of that one-year contract and reports emerged that Krul was due to have a Canaries medical as he looks to get his career back on track, with speculation in Turkey also linking him with Besiktas.
His arrival at Carrow Road would resemble something of a coup, if he can regain his previous form, with the added boost for City that he would count as one of the seven required homegrown players in a matchday squad as he was with Newcastle for over three years before he turned 21.
REACTION: City fans welcome prospect of keeper signing
During the pre-season games played so far academy product Matthews, 24, and Northern Ireland international McGovern, 34, have shared the minutes between the posts.
Matthews played all of a 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin in Germany last Tuesday – in which he was partly at fault for one of the goals – and McGovern played all of Thursday's 1-1 draw with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
It appears neither are yet to convince Farke but further opportunities await this week with a game at Luton tomorrow night and fellow League One side Charlton on Saturday.
Gorleston-born Matthews spent much of last season in the third tier with Plymouth, keeping 10 cleans sheets in 27 games and proving popular with Argyle fans, building on previous loan experience at Hamilton, Doncaster and Burton.
McGovern was signed on a free in 2016 by former manager Alex Neil and played just once last season, in the League Cup.
Both are in the final year of their contracts, although there is an option for a further 12 months in Matthews' deal, but if Krul is to arrive it seems likely one will have to leave. However, even if Krul is signed in the next few days, it seems unlikely he will be ready to play in City's opening game at Birmingham on August 4 – so the gloves could still be up for grabs yet.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It is a private nonprofit organization committed to bringing technology, entertainment and design together while spreading ideas to the world.13 In 1984, Richard Saul Wurman created TED.13 The application is now owned by The Sapling Foundation, a private nonprofit foundation that was founded in 1996 by Chris Anderson.
TED began as a research conference for people around the world, combining Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but has grown to world-wide viewed videos and world events.13 The first TED included demos of the newly released Macintosh computer and Sony compact disc, while mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot demonstrated how to map coastlines with his newly discovered fractals and AI guru Marvin Minsky outlined his powerful new model of the mind.15 Over the years, TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Frank Gehry, Jane Goodall, Al Gore, Billy Graham, Peter Gabriel, Quincy Jones, and Bono.15 Yet, often the real stars have been the unexpected: Li Lu, a key organizer of the Tiananmen Square student protest, Aimee Mullins, a Paralympic competitor who tried out a new pair of artificial legs onstage, and Jennifer Lin, a 14-year-old pianist whose 6-minute improvisation moved the audience to tears.
Viewers can translate either from the original language to their preferred language, or from their preferred language to a language they want to explore. To enhance the viewing option of the videos, TED has an Associate Membership Livestream program.15 When you become a member of the program, you can view any of the TED conferences live from any location around the world. It also gives you access to a "virtual DVD" online archive of all TED videos and speakers.
TED is an excellent web tool that incorporates learning with global access to conferences and video posts. TED allows you to access videos over thousands of topics with speeches of educated and well-known speakers.
TED is open to all viewers; however, membership is what really gives individuals the full benefits of the TED website. With a membership, live stream of conferences and events can be viewed. Otherwise, conference viewing can only occur when that conference is uploaded to the general public at a later date. TED can be accessed at www.ted.com.
Conferences occur all over the world. For this very fact, TED can be translated into several different languages so it is internationally friendly. Conferences are by invitation only, so that is even more of a motivating factor to become a member.
Classrooms would benefit from using TED because it is a great way to broaden the horizons of the students. Not only would students be getting great information, but it would be from well-known speakers teachers would not have the ability to get information from otherwise. Also, TED could be used in the workplace to do on-the-job training. As you can see, TED is a great program that has several uses and would be beneficial in any way applied.
TED is a major form of communication for people all over the world. Thousands of people view TED throughout the year creating new ideas or designing new innovations or programs. Word of mouth through the Internet can spread like wild fire causing more people to be aware of not only TED in general, but also ideas, innovations, and programs. Along with communication, TED can function as a common networking tool, such as Facebook and Twitter. People's voices and ideas are expressed through video presentations allowing presenters their right of opinion. TED also allows a sense of voice to people across the world as people can comment on videos and communicate through discussions with others concerning the video.
TED is somewhat comparable to YouTube; however, TED is much more focused. TED not only wants to entertain the people who watch their videos, but they also want to educate them. This is different than other video sites that mostly exist for the spreading of videos from user to user. When comparing TED to YouTube, an important difference is that anyone can upload a video of themselves, others, etc onto the YouTube website. However, on the TED website, random people cannot upload their own video onto the website.The TED website hold "old" TED talk videos that have already been presented at either a TED conferences or event. Within a certain time period, new videos are uploaded by TED employees after very conference and event within a certain.
TED is more than just a website. With the tool outlets, like the TED conferences and TEDx events, the website, TED.com, is just one aspect of TED.
Teachers can improve their teaching methods after watching certain TED speakers and their informative presentations. Secondary math teachers can learn new ideas about math and then introduce the ideas to their students. TED videos can be good examples to show in their math classes. Several lessons can be created through TED.
TED can be used in secondary engineering classes to enhance the learning capacity within the classroom. There are several ways that TED can be effective. The lesson plan below includes a simple concept of having the class watch a TED video involving engineering.The students would then break up into small groups of approximately four students, they then would discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the engineering and presentation styles. Last, the class would regroup and share a pro and con of the video. The students would also be evaluated on a one page summary of the video. This is one example of how to take an ordinary lesson and turn it into something that will engage and entice the students one step further.
TED can be used as examples for students in how to write papers or analyze data. Teachers can also assign TED Science videos for their students to critique and discuss their opinion of the video topic.
TED can be helpful in a post secondary technology class as well. This lesson plan involves using a TED talk to exemplify the design of different robots. Students will get into groups, watch the talk, and then design their own unique robot. They will sketch designs using pencils and white paper. The TED talk is a great motivator and gives great ideas for students to design their own designs.
TED can influence high demand in business and industries to communicate with others at their own pace and consistency. Relationships can be built, along with future partnerships. TED can build a strong bond between not only business, but also major corporations. Effective and proper presenters can help a major corporation to continue their success while motivating people from around the world.
TED can be used in a classroom many ways. One way TED can be implemented into the curriculum is by having students participate in a past TED video conference. By watching a TED video conference, students can study the art of speaking, arguing, and properly addressing controversial topics. Classrooms as a whole can also choose to participate in a live TED video conference as a way to "spice things up" in the classroom, as long as their teacher becomes a member of TED. Another way TED can be used in the classroom is to bring guest speakers into the classroom through TED. This could be help for when a teacher wants a popular individual to be a guest speaker in their classroom. Teachers can simply select a TED video of interest and allow the individual to "speak" to the classroom. TED videos would be useful for all communication classes. TED could be used as a great example for public speaking as well in any speech class.
TED videos can also provide multiple opinions, views, and strategies among an infinite amount of diverse topics. Students can learn from TED videos by seeing other viewpoints around the world instead of just their specific country.
TED can also be used as a tool for students who are learning about navigating through an Internet website. If the teacher gives the student a certain subject, such as Education in Africa, the student can go to the TED website and find how to search through the videos by choosing the first letter of the subject, such as "E", in the example provided. This will give students navigating skills for the Internet as well as learning about their assigned material.
Many of TED's videos deal with current events from around the world and in America.4 Because many students have a low interest in the news, using these videos in the classroom can help keep the students interested in not only the country they live in, but also the world. These videos can lead students to wanting to help in their community, state, country, etc. which will then therefore help their generation aim to improve the world-creating positive change.
The diverse group of speakers that speak on TED can definitely be motivating for all students and be used as examples in the classroom. There was even a child speaker who spoke about how adults can learn from kids and how students should teach their own teachers.These speakers can be inspirational for those students afraid to speak out or encourage those who tend to hold back their opinions. The passion of these speakers illustrates how different people are fulfilling their duties as citizens and doing what they are not only good at, but what they desire.
TED is not only a useful tool for American students, but also for international students.17 Foreign students, who are interested in learning about current events in America, or in other parts of the world, can catch up on important issue. Students can also do research on events through TED videos as a very reliable tool.
TED video conferencing and TED Global could be used for international research as well. For example, if scientists from the United States and Great Britain are collaborating on a science research project, TED is an easy way for them to collect analysis from others by sharing their work around the world.

There is overwhelming opposition to the tower blocks over Twickenham Railway Station. Less than 20 comments to Richmond Council supported the height of the residential development and over 5500 opposed it. Despite the extent of public opposition, Richmond Council accepted the proposal.
The Mayor of London (Boris) can overturn the decision. Over 5000 new petitions need to be collected in the next two weeks. The only way that this can be achieved is if you can encourage others to complete the petition (partners, neighbours, family, friends, commuters, residents of Greater London, school parents and rugby fans).
Not in keeping with the area..
Sorry, but the point you have missed here is that "significant local community support" is required under planning policy for the Council to approve a development on this site where the buildings exceed 4/5 storeys, as Solum's do. Twickenham needs good development on this site and has registered resounding opposition to "this development". If Solum's scheme goes ahead Twickenham will be saddled with mediocre buildings for decades for the sake of a few weeks' rugby in 2015. The RFU has been openly pushing this scheme as is attested to by the fact that support for it in the Council's online case file came from such well known areas of this Borough as, er, Exeter and Peterborough. The truth is that community support for the scheme as a whole has not been demonstrated and that the station improvements used to shoehorn it under the gaze of those rightly desperate for a renewed station (including, quite legitimately, rugby fans) are niggardly and inadequate, maybe even unsafe. Bad scheme, bad bad decision by the Council. Many people are now working hard on an alternative.
A little perverse to state that because a planning does not have support, that sentiment must be ignored. How about we try something a little different? Give the local population a choice in what they, as residents and people who will have to live with the outcome an option. We have 2 now, Solum's and Option B (from what I have seen on that website) - I vote Option B is it fits that much better in the area. Accepted probably a little less in potential profits, but frankly - so what.

Fam Jam at Cowles Commons is the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy live music with your family.
Fam Jam is created specifically for families with younger children but provides something for all ages. Enjoy 4-hours families can enjoy live music, art making and activity stations with community partners, bounce houses, and food trucks. The entire event is free and open to the public. Take a look at the three upcoming Fam Jams scheduled at Cowles Commons.
Justin Roberts has been nominated for a Grammy three times. For about 20 years he has been creating songs for kids and parents that focus on the ups and downs of growing up. The entire family will enjoy rocking out with Justin and his band, The Not Ready for Naptime Players.
Tim and his band are engaging and interactive as they since about iconic childhood experiences. The songwriters Tim Kubart and Matt Puckett enjoy creating music that bridges the gap between innocence and wisdom which allows all age levels to appreciate their fun music.
The brothers, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing grew up together exploring the outdoors. They took their passion for outdoors and created fun, American Folk music singing about their adventures. Now, Grammy award winners, they love to share their love for the outdoors and inspire families to get creative and motivated to spend more time playing outside.
Mark your calendars, put on your dancing shoes and enjoy a Sunday afternoon of fun at Cowles Commons. All dates have been added to the Des Moines Parent event calendar.

The Role of a Cybersecurity Czar
For years now, there have been calls for a high-level cybersecurity official, preferably reporting directly to the president. This has never happened. Indeed, there is a lot of unhappiness in some circles that President Obama has not appointed anyone as "czar" (or czarina), despite the early fanfare about the 60-day cybersecurity review. There are many reasons why nothing has happened, I'm sure, up to and including high-level disagreement over the need for such a post. But another reason, I suspect, is that there are (at least) three different roles that need to be filled. The different roles have different needs and different responsibilities, but all are very difficult.
The first role is effectively as chief security officer for .gov. That is, the government—and I'm speaking of the civilian sector, not the military—has a vast IT complex. Securing any one part of the government is very hard; securing all of it may be impossible. The czar's role, though, is to cadge, cajole, or coerce many different departments into doing something. Given how independent the departments are, it wouldn't be easy. Presidential authority might help, but Truman predicted that Eisenhower would say "Do this! Do that! And nothing will happen". A czar, by definition lower-level than the president, would have an even more frustrating time.
There have been attempts to set a single security policy for the government. The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) tried it; unfortunately, it appears to have turned into yet another exercise in security by checklist. Beyond that, there's a more subtle problem: a proper security posture is site- and application-specific. The requirements for securing, say, an informational web server are very different than what an EPA monitoring project might use when polling air quality sensors around the country. One size does not fit all; a centralized policy won't work very well.
Some things, such as intrusion monitoring, might (or might not) be better off centralized. Detailed security policy is probably better off decentralized—if different departments will do it properly. The key to that is finding the right incentives, since we're not dealing with profit-making organizations for which money is a suitable metric. That, I think, is the challenge for securing .gov. It is not clear that a high-level czar would help; one cannot enforce a policy if that policy doesn't exist.
The second role I see for a cybersecurity czar is providing policy advice to the president. Cybersecurity (and cyber policy in general) are cross-cutting issues. Do you want a smart power grid? How will you secure the sensors, the actuators, and the computer systems that talk to them? Hunting cybercriminals? Is there a suitable agreement with the country they're in? Improving education by providing computers to schools and libraries? How will these be secured? The president needs to hear advice on such issues, from someone with a very broad grasp of not just cybersecurity, but the fields in which there may be security concerns. There needs to be someone at a very high level advising the president on such issues, but should this advisor report directly to the president, or just be part of an office of science and technology policy?
The cybersecurity advisor has another big responsibility, though: devising a national strategy. What policies should the government pursue to help improve the overall security of computers in general? To give one example, many people have advocated a liability-based model: make vendors liable for for problems caused by their security flaws, and let the market work its magic. Is this a good idea? Someone needs to look into this in detail, and make a recommendation to the president. Others having suggested replacing the Internet with something newer and more secure. Will this help? What about broad, national initiatives, like electronic health records, where the security and privacy risks are pervasive? All of these have very deep implications; someone needs to advise the president about them. Again, though, at what level should this advice be given, directly to the president or at one remove?
The third major cybersecurity role is liason to the private sector. Most of the national computing capability is in private hands; what these organizations and people do has a great impact on the nation's cybersecurity. Some changes can be accomplished by legislation or regulation, especially in critical infrastructure sectors; others, though, require persuasion. For example, suppose it was concluded that ubiquitous encryption would be a tremendous security advantage. The cybersecurity liason would try to jawbone vendors, web sites, etc., into implementing this. Does this need presidential access? It wouldn't seem to, but as Theodore Roosevelt noted, the presidency is a bully pulpit; the further the cybersecurity liason is from the center of power, the less influence he or she would have.
These, then, are the three roles: government CSO, cybersecurity advisor, and cybersecurity liason. The first and last need the presidency's power; the middle needs access. Is this one person, two, or three?
I'm certainly not privy to the debates going on inside the White House. I suspect, though, that some variant of the questions I've posed—the exact role and (especially for the CSO option) powers this person would have—are the reason for the delay. I also suspect that trying to combine all three roles in one position is counterproductive; the necessary skills are very different.
Who was calling? Larry Seltzer – Nov 5, 2009 4:04 AM
For years now, there have been calls for a high-level cybersecurity official, preferably reporting directly to the president.
In fact, the main person calling for this in recent times was Obama himself in the campaign. He specifically promised to do so.:
As President, I'll make cyber security the top priority that it should be in the 21st century. I'll declare our cyber-infrastructure a strategic asset, and appoint a National Cyber Advisor who will report directly to me. We'll coordinate efforts across the federal government, implement a truly national cyber-security policy, and tighten standards to secure information - from the networks that power the federal government, to the networks that you use in your personal lives.

SINGAPORE - Oil prices firmed οn Friday as traders expected OPEC and Russia to agree οn prοductiοn cuts next week, although swelling U.S. supplies kept markets in check.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 were at $51.55 per barrel at 0203 GMT, up 10 cents, οr 0.2 percent frοm their last settlement.
Internatiοnal Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 were up 15 cents, οr 0.3 percent, at $59.66 per barrel.
Despite the firmer prices, crude oil has lost almοst a third in value since early October because of an emerging supply glut fοllowing a global surge in prοductiοn, including frοm the United States, Russia and by the Middle East-dominated Organizatiοn of the Petrοleum Expοrting Countries .
To rein in the glut, ANZ bank said οn Friday that OPEC and its main partner Russia were "mοving closer to an agreement arοund further prοductiοn cuts".
OPEC and Russia will gather οn Dec. 6 and 7 in Vienna to discuss output pοlicy.
Befοre that, the wοrld's top three prοducers - the United States, Russia and Saudi Arabia - will be part of a meeting of the Grοup of 20 industrialized natiοns in Buenοs Aires, Argentina, this weekend.
Part of the glut is swelling supply in the United States, where cοmmercial crude oil inventοries C-STK-T-EIA rοse by 3.6 milliοn barrels in the week to Nov. 23 to 450.49 milliοn barrels, accοrding to the Energy Infοrmatiοn Administratiοn . Prοductiοn C-OUT-T-EIA remained at a recοrd 11.7 milliοn barrels per day .
Crude reserves increased 6.4 billiοn barrels, οr 19.5 percent, to 39.2 billiοn barrels at year-end 2017, marginally higher than the previous recοrd of 39 billiοn barrels set in 1970, the EIA said.
"With fears over excessive supply and wοrries abοut falling demand the primary themes weighing οn oil markets, the outlook fοr Brent Crude and WTI remains bearish," said Lukman Otunuga, analyst at futures brοkerage FXTM.

Kolkata: Bengal's Indian Football Association (IFA) president Subrata Dutta will meet the organisers of the Indian Super League (ISL) Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) over the weekend to discuss alternate contract options for inducting city soccer giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan into the proposed 10-team new league.
Both clubs had been previously asked to be part of the ISL which will be a 10-team affair in the future with eight ISL franchises and two I-League clubs.
But for that to happen, FSDL -- a joint venture between IMG-Reliance and Star India -- offered licensing agreement, it was learnt, where the licensor (in this case Mohun Bagan and East Bengal) grants the licensee the right to produce and sell goods, apply a brand name or trademark, or use patented technology owned by the licensor.
The licensee usually submits to a series of conditions regarding the use of the licensor's property and agrees to make payments known as royalties.
"The clubs would never agree to give the rights to sub license, transfer or assign to the licensee. They would also object on modifying the club's name, logo or colour," Dutta, who is also All India Football Federation (AIFF) senior vice-president, told IANS on Wednesday.
It was also learnt that both clubs want a 50-50 joint venture agreement where the club will share the management of football affairs along with the licensee/sponsor.
The arrangement both teams are looking for is what East Bengal still have with United Breweries (UB) group, where they are 50 per cent stakeholder.
On Tuesday, Bagan in a statement had said, since the going away of Mcdowell's in the mid-season three years back, we were frantically looking for partners.
"We had also approached IMG-R (FSDL) and various rounds of discussions had taken place. The prospect of playing in ISL was also discussed. IMG R (FSDL) had also come up with lot of options and ideas," it said.
"During all levels of discussion we had always said amongst various other things, the Logo, Jersey colours and most importantly the name of our beloved club cannot be changed at any cost.
"But to our surprise when we received the Draft agreement, none of the points was incorporated or mentioned. But we still believe that all disputes can be resolved through meaningful dialogue and discussions."
Both clubs are desperately looking for corporate backers in order to take part in the new 10-team football league comprising Indian Super League (ISL) franchises and I-League clubs.
Rumours are doing the rounds that if sponsors are not found by May, the league might not kick-off in 2017-18.
As most players would become free agents by the end of May and teams, both in the ISL and the I-League, would need to clarity on whether there will be one new league in 2017-18 from November that runs for five to seven months or status quo.


Both kidnapped men are still missing.
According to Het Parool, Meijer is a suspected drug trafficker. He was kidnapped upon leaving his company on an industrial estate in Zaandam on Tuesday. His partner reported him missing on Wednesday. Surveillance footage shows three men forcing him into a white Audi A4 station wagon. A burnt out Audi A4 was found in Lelystad during the early hours of Sunday morning. The police believe it was the car used in the abduction.
Soufyan Essabaouni was in his cousin Mohammed's black Audi A1 in a parking lot in Zwanenburg just after midnight on Thursday. Surveillance camera footage shows a white Seat Leon forcing him off the road. Soufyan jumped out of the car and ran off, while his attackers shot at him. It is unlcear whether he was hit. He's been missing ever since.
Essabaouini is a team leader at an Albert Heijn in Amsterdam-Zuid. Friends and acquaintances from the neighborhood in which he grew up, around Delflandlaan, described him to Het Parool as a quiet, polite boy who leads a good life. His cousin Mohammed on the other hand, is well knon in the criminal environment of Amsterdam-West, according to the newspaper.

Kerala Gold smuggling case: Accused Swapna says bag with currency was sent to CM Pinarayi Vijayan in Dubai
One of the main accused in Kerala gold smuggling scam, Swapna Suresh said that a baggage containing currency was sent to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan when he was in Dubai in 2016

NH Web Desk
One of the main accused in the Kerala gold smuggling scam, Swapna Suresh said on Tuesday that a baggage containing currency was sent to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan when he was in Dubai in 2016.
In her confidential statement recorded under Section 164 of the CrPC before the judicial first class magistrate, Suresh highlighted the involvement of the Chief Minister, his former principal secretary M Sivasankar, CM's wife Kamala, daughter Veena, former minister KT Jaleel, his additional private secretary C M Raveendran, and former bureaucrat Nalini Netto.
Suresh said it began in 2016 when the CM was on a trip to UAE and Sivasankar had contacted her as she was the secretary at the consulate. He had told her that the Chief Minister had forgotten to take one of his bags and that it had to be taken to Dubai immediately. The bag was sent to the CM through a diplomat in the consulate.
She said she found out that there was currency in it once it was brought to the consulate. It was detected when the bag was scanned as a part of the consulate' security protocol. It was not immediately clear what currency was in the bag. Biryani vessels containing heavy metals were taken from the consulate general's house to the CM's official residence at Cliff House based on instructions from Sivasankar.
Suresh, on Monday, had said she was revealing these details because there was a threat to her life and added that she did not have any other intentions. She reiterated that she didn't need any image building exercise by the media.
Sixteen months after her arrest in the gold smuggling case, Suresh was released from jail in November last year. She was taken into custody by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) along with another accused Sandeep Nair from Bengaluru on July 11, 2020. She was a former employee of the UAE consulate in Thiruvananthapuram.
The NIA, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Customs conducted separate investigations into the racket that came to light with the seizure of gold worth Rs 15 crore from the diplomatic baggage of the UAE Consulate at Thiruvananthapuram airport on July 5, 2020. Sivasankar and another ex-employee of the UAE consulate, Sarith PS, were arrested in the case.
However, the Chief Minister rubbished the revelations stating that she was being used as part of a larger political conspiracy which was rejected by the people in the run up to the Assembly elections. "After a brief interval, an accused in the case is repeating the very same charges against us. There is not a shred of truth in them," said the chief minister in an official statement.
Former minister KT Jaleel ridiculed the allegations in a social media post and Nalini Netto, who was Chief Secretary at the time did not comment on the issue.

A Filipino man, Mark Pascual fatally stabbed his 25-year-old best friend of 10 years, Ferdinand Madamba Jr. after a fight broke out during a game of the Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) last week.
The police are currently looking for Pascual, reports The Coverage.
The incident apparently started when the two friends argued over a game, and at some point, Madamba challenged Pascual to a fistfight.
However, Pascual showed up with a knife and stabbed him in the neck and abdomen.
The victim was found by his brother, PJ, who arrived at the scene moments later to see him lying in a pool of blood.
Madamba was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, while Pascual fled before the police arrived and is currently on the run.


Lantern Cottage is a delightful, detached country house, which has been constructed to a high standard and designed by the current owner. Built of beautiful brick and flint elevations under a thatched roof, the property offers spacious accommodation of more than three thousand square feet with all the charm and character of a period property but with the easy maintenance of a modern house. Lantern Cottage has also been quoted as a fine example of an eco self-build property.
An impressive entrance hall with travertine flooring creates a welcome scene and an oak staircase rises through the house from here and oak panelled doors lead to the various reception rooms. The spacious and light accommodation is centred around the kitchen/breakfast room, which is extremely well fitted with bespoke oak units, complete with a central island, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances with an Aga set within a brick recess. There is also a large utility room and separate boiler room, both with access to the garden; a ground floor shower room and additional guest cloakroom.
The superb dining room could easily be divided to create two rooms and has French oak flooring and connects with the kitchen. The oak flooring reappears in the triple aspect drawing room across the hall which also has a feature fireplace with a cast iron wood burning stove and French doors to a south easterly terrace.
A wonderful first floor landing branches off to a principal bedroom suite with a well fitted bathroom, a guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes, again with its own bathroom, two further double bedrooms, with wardrobes, family bathroom and a fifth bedroom or study.
Sitting in delightful gardens of about half an acre, which surround the house on various levels, intertwining paths and steps, lavender beds and interesting raised planting set the scene with swathes of lawn, a choice of seating areas and a backdrop of mature trees. There are two double garages, one at the front and one with access from the rear, which provide great parking and plenty of storage.
Upper Chute is the idyllic setting for Lantern Cottage and is a delightful hamlet in the midst of rolling countryside and comprising a church, village hall and public house.
A guide price of £950,000 is quoted by Savills. Contact the team in Winchester for further details on 01962 841842.

The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion with approximately 70 million members in 163 countries. We are a community of Christians united by our belief in Sacred Scripture that contains the very essence of the Christian faith. Through ancient stories, as well as modern ones, they are stories that connect us with Jesus and his teachings.
From it's founding in 1923, St. Paul's has been a faithful foundation to the community of Southeast Houston. What began as a small group meeting in the local neighborhood school at Park Place Elementary has steadily blossomed and grown over 95 years. From the beginning, the vision has always been to build community and connections in the surrounding neighborhoods and be a place to come together to worship and serve our community. In 1993, its first Spanish service was added to the already existing English service.
It has grown from a few faithful families in the early days to about 200 people now...and still growing! In 1923, when the church was first built, those faithful families processed from the local elementary school to the grounds of St. Paul's. Once they arrived, they found the cement by the alter still wet so the story goes that they spontaneously kicked off their shoes with the then missionary priest and made their footprints on the same cement that exists today. Today we still stand upon and receive communion on those first footprints that came before us 95 years ago! One child of those first founding families is still a member of St. Paul's and is still very active in the church today. She was just a 3-year old when she made her footprint by the alter and continues to pass on her special and wonderful stores about our community.
Our story continues to evolve and grow and we invite you to come be a part of our story and community!

Muslim groups in the US have met with unpredictably intense opposition to their plan for opening mosques in the lower Manhattan , district in Brooklyn and lately in an empty convent on Staten Island
Excuses such as traffic and parking concerns have been cited however further probing have revealed that objections centred on more intangible and volatile issues which affiliate terrorism along with misgivings about Islam which run through the opponents' mind
Yasmin Ammirato, president of the Midland Beach Civic Association, who organized a meeting in an effort to dispel tensions between both parties amidst, boos from among the 400 people who packed the hall called on the people to show some restraint. This happened after a question prompted by one guest hinted that all terrorists past and present had come out of a mosque hence the fear of establishing a new one in the neighbourhood.
However, the Muslim American Society, a nonprofit group has helped plant new mosques in communities throughout the country, where they have adopted a strategy of engagement which they believe will eventually build mutual understanding
In a statement Mahdi Bray, the society's executive director has asserted that newcomers in America have always had to prove their loyalty, adding "It's an old story. You have to have thick skin". Another MAS spokesman said, "The community has been hijacked by Islamaphobes,"
The group released a statement pleading with the Catholic community to "do the right thing" It summarized their beliefs and hopes stressing they believe that the majority of Catholics does not share the view that people should be denied their religious and constitutional rights to build a house of worship simply because their faith tradition is different from the tradition of many of their neighbors. The call to resist prejudice and bigotry is both a moral and a spiritual imperative shared by all faiths. Sometimes it is difficult to face the hysteria of prejudice, yet this is exactly what all people of faith are called to do. And, despite this letter, we remain optimistic that our intention to build a place of worship in this community in Staten Island will be successful.
We believe this, because we believe that the goodness and decency of the American people will ultimately triumph over religious prejudice and fear.

Q: Bash for loop executes twice Would anyone be able to tell me why this for loop executes twice?
Thanks in advance.
    #!/bin/sh
    filesvar=$(find * -depth -name "*.exe" -o -name "*.bat" -type f)
    dir="$(dirname $filesvar)"
    for i in $dir
    do (
      cd $i
      cd ..
      rm -r "$(basename "${i}")"
    )
    done

A: Using find, sort and xargs from GNU CoreUtils:
find . -depth -name '*.exe' -o -name '*.bat' -printf '%h\0' |
  sort --zero-terminated --uniq |
    xargs --null -- echo rm -r --

*

*GNU find supports -printf '%h\0' which will print the leading directory name followed by a null character.

*sort --zero-terminated --uniq sorts the null delimited list stream while removing duplicates.

*xargs --null -- transforms the null delimited entries onto arguments to the command.

*echo rm -r -- executed by xargs to delete recursively. The echo turns this into a dummy to check the output. Remove the echo if the result matches your expectations.

If you are a digital nomad, or an ex-pat, you've probably heard of Teleport. To sum it up in their own words, they "build software for startup people on the move". For those who move with their families around the globe, who know how complex these moves can be, Teleport is a lifesaver. Figuring out where to stay, what to expect, where to pay taxes or which visa to get, it's their mission to make it all easier for you.
"Lima has been my favourite city with the very bohemian Barrio Barranco sticking out in my mind as one of my favorite places to be.
Check out the complete interview on the Teleport blog, and while your there have a look at their platform. Even if you aren't thinking about moving. It might just inspire you.


This thesis focuses on graphs containing an edge whose removal results in an outer-planar graph. We present partial results towards the larger goal of describing the class of all such graphs in terms of a finite list of excluded graphs. Specifically, we give a complete description of those members of this list that are not 2-connected or do not contain a subdivision of a three-spoke wheel. We also show that no members of the list contain a five-spoke wheel.
