Answer to Question
What is the Reason for Netanyahu's Strange and Emergency Visit to London?
(Translated)
Netanyahu visited Moscow on 12/9/2019 in a critical election period less than two weeks before the elections of the Jewish entity. Before that on 5/9/2019 he quickly visited Britain and met with the British Prime Minster who is burdened with Brexit; at a time when Johnson suffered successive defeats in the British Parliament regarding the Britain leaving the European Union without agreement. It is clear from these visits as if Netanyahu is in a hurry! What is behind these seemingly strange and emergency visits? Are they for electoral reasons or for various other purposes?
The circumstances in which the visits took place indicate that the purpose is not electoral although the international tours benefit Netanyahu in the elections, but it is not the intended purpose according to the international and regional circumstances of the visit. To get a clear picture, we review the following briefly:
First: The description of these visits as strange and emergency, especially his visit to London, is an accurate description. The Prime Minister of the Jewish entity met with British Prime Minister Johnson who is surrounded by circles of parliamentary setbacks regarding the implementation of his promises to remove Britain from the European Union on 31/10/2019 with or without a deal. He is unable to focus on international issues outside Brexit and some MPs from his party are rebelling against him and Parliament votes on the need to agree with Brussels and demands a further three-month delay. Britain's House of Lords ratifies Parliament's swift decisions and there are calls for him to resign. His visit under Britain's difficult circumstances is indeed strange and an emergency one. Unless it was for an urgent and persisting matter, it would have not taken place.
What is more ambiguous about this emergency visit is another issue. It is his meeting with US officials in London. The visit of US Vice President, Pence, was scheduled to Britain since the White House announced it on 14/8/2019 to discuss issues relating to the future of US-British relations after Brexit and discussing the "threat of Chinese influence" through 5G telecommunications networks planned to be built in Britain by the Chinese company "Huawei". It was not scheduled then that the US Secretary of Defense will accompany the Vice President in his visit, and meeting with officials from the Jewish entity in Britain was not scheduled too, according to Al-Watan Newspaper on 14/8/2019 in the statement issued by the White House. Netanyahu met with the US and British defense ministers as reported by the BBC on 6/9/2019. Despite the news reports of Netanyahu's meeting with the US Secretary of Defense, but his meeting with the Vice President was not mentioned by any source even though they are both present in London, which indicates that they met in secret! It seems that the vice president's meetings were secret to warn both parties of any planning outside US policy!
Second, these sudden visits came in the context of related interrelated events:
1- The United States has abandoned any protection for the vessels of other countries. President Trump expressed (his displeasure with what he called "the United States' protection of the sea lanes for years without charge" in the Strait of Hormuz, calling on the world, especially China and Japan, to "protect their ships themselves." TRT Arabi 29/7/2019). US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said that Britain "has a responsibility to protect its own ships, Anadol agency 22/7/2019), which means easing US pressure on Iran to detain other ships.
2- Despite the uncertainty surrounding British policy since its people voted for Brexit in 2016 and the widespread uncertainty about its implementation, politicians in Britain occasionally experiment with policies that show emancipation from the restrictions of the European Union, and show the unilateral English will, such as, the British have exploited the tension of America's relations with Iran and its withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and the wave of ship bombings in the Gulf, so Britain, contrary to the directions of the European Union, detained an Iranian oil tanker in Gibraltar on 4/7/2019; that is while the European countries are trying to ease the tension with Iran and show that it is not being dragged behind the US policy of revoking the nuclear agreement and its attempts to find a European mechanism for trade and financial exchange with Iran, in these circumstances, Britain broke this trend and strained the atmosphere with Iran. It is likely that Britain was pushing America into the abyss of war with Iran, especially after the British crisis deepened with Iran after Britain released the Iranian tanker Grace 1 on 15/8/2019 that was detained after Iranian guarantees that the ship will not go to Syria, which is under sanctions from the European Union. After a long wave of camouflage to Greece and then to Turkey, the Iranian tanker named Adrian Daria-1 has arrived to Syria, according to ART 6/9/2019 that quoted the Middle East Eye website in London. By going to Syria in violation of Iran's assurances to Britain, Britain would have received a slap in the face. Until now, Iran is still holding the British oil tanker Stilo Ambro and did not release it! This is a second blow to Britain. The British Navy's "HMS Montrose" has also been the subject of many skirmishes by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. According to Will King, the commander of the warship, ("the ship was subjected almost to daily harassment by the Iranian Guards in the waters of the Gulf" (Independent Arabia 3/9/2019).
3- The Jewish entity's Bombing of Iranian targets, especially in Syria and Iraq:
a- During the years of the ash-Sham revolution, the Jewish entity used to bomb Iranian targets inside Syria without receiving a response from the 'axis of resistance'. The Jewish entity increased its attacks and targeted leaders of the Iranian-Lebanese party in Syria. Iran denied that these attacks inside Syria had targeted them as if the killing by the Jewish entity of Syrians or members of its party in Lebanon does not concern it; what is important is that it denies the Iranian casualties directly, and finally the Jewish entity announced a major targeting of Iran inside Syria [Israeli army spokesman said that Israeli aircraft bombed on Saturday, August 24, 2019 Iranian forces near Damascus that were planning to launch drones towards targets in Israel. The Army said in a statement: "The strike targeted Al-Quds Battalions Force (Failaq Al-Quds) and Shiite militias planning to reinforce plans to launch attacks targeting locations in Israel from within Syria in recent days". A military spokesman told reporters the troops were preparing to launch "lethal drones" into Israel. (Deutsche Welle 24/8/2019)]. This represented a direct and public military harassment and a challenge by the Jewish entity in Iran, which opened the door wide to the possibility of war between them if Iran retaliated. Despite the deaths of Iranians during the attacks of the Jewish entity [Syrian Observatory confirmed on Sunday the deaths of two Hezbollah fighters and one Iranian in an "Israeli" strike near Damascus. (Al-Arabiya net 25/8/2019)]. However, because America does not want Iran to engage in a war with the Jewish entity that could drag it into its hell, Iran has denied Iranian casualties in the raid.
b- In Iraq, since the beginning of August 2019, the Jewish entity has been targeting weapons stores that belonged to Iran and Iranian experts inside the Popular Mobilization Camps (Al-Hasd Ash-Sha'bi).This is a major escalation by the Jewish entity against Iran, such as the attack on the Saq" base of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization south of Baghdad on 12/8/2019. It was the third attack in weeks, and the bombing of the Shuhada camp in Salah ud-Din. It also belongs to the Popular Mobilization. The Jewish entity directly targeted Iranian weapons stores and experts [AFP quoted a police officer in Salah ud-Din as saying, after inspecting the site of the bombing, that the dead from the Tribal Mobilization, and the two wounded are "two Iranian military engineers" who were in the camp. (Arab 48, 12/8/2019)], then the attack on 25/8/2019 near the Iraqi city of Qaim on another camp and mobile vehicles; to ease the tension Iraq was reporting a small number of victims, and Iran did not announce its victims, but it has become publicly clear that the Jewish entity is challenging Iran and its direct presence in Iraq as well as Syria.
Third, and in consideration of the above, we conclude the following:
1- Britain, who was insulted by Iran through harassment of its ships in the Gulf and the continued detention of its ship; all of which pushed it to start a war against Iran that involves America and of course Britain will participate in it to avenge itself from Iran. This is why it is not keen to tone down the violent language against Iran; this is why it rejected the American optimistic tone in the statement of American Defense Secretary: "It seems somehow that Iran is slowly approaching a situation where we can hold talks and we hope it will go on like this," US Defense Secretary Esper told the Royal United Services Institute in London.
When asked in a news conference later on what the remarks were based on, Esper said they were "in the light of some comments made by the Iranians after the G7 summit." [Reuters 6/9/2019). Britain has consistently rejected this tone, even if it is implied, (the British Defense Secretary said on Friday in a news conference with Esper that Britain would always help the United States on the path to talks with Iran if an agreement could be reached, but he stressed the need to judge Iran through deeds rather than words (Reuters 6/9/2019)]. Thus, Britain has become at the heart of the heated crisis related to Iran. Consequently, Britain has factors to ignite a war against Iran and it is converging with the Jewish state for this purpose. Even the attacks of the Jewish entity have intensified in Syria on 24/8/2019, Iraq and Lebanon on 25/ 8/2019, after Iran seized the British oil tanker in the Gulf on 22/7/2019, in a manner similar to harmony with Britain. Thus it is not difficult to say that Britain is pushing the Jewish entity to war with Iran and its arms in the region and that it is recruiting energies to engage it in this war.
2- The Jewish state actually fears the power of Iran and wants to ignite a war against it, and to involve America in it. It noticed America's leniency towards Iran and that it does not want to go to war with it, but rather it is like political actions coated with military threats and tension in the Gulf for two purposes: to disturb Europe by frightening it for its ships and then to humiliate it through Iran, especially Britain, to go with America in its policy, and then to blackmail the Gulf countries financially under the pretext of protecting it from the danger of Iran! The tension in the Gulf is not intended as an American war against Iran, and this is confirmed by America's actions towards Iran; Iran shot down the US drone on 20/6/2019 and America handled the matter quietly, as well as the repeated statements about not going to war with Iran and not toppling the regime. Moreover, when the crisis intensifies, it authorizes negotiations with Iran! As what we saw in the statement above of America's Defense Secretary to the Royal United Services Institute "It seems somehow that Iran is slowly approaching a situation where we can talk and we hope it will go on like this," (Reuters 6/9/2019),
This became even more apparent after the media reported that a meeting between Trump and Rouhani was expected on the sidelines of the General Assembly meeting in New York on sanctions and relations It was even reported by some newspapers as a deal! [The possibility of a US-Iranian deal forces Netanyahu to visit Moscow. The sources pointed out that Netanyahu is concerned about an Iranian-American deal that secures for the Islamic Republic to pursue its nuclear program and lift the US sanctions imposed on it. Reports said that the Israeli prime minister was most concerned about the future of the Iranian presence in Syria in the light of this deal ... (Arabs: 09/09/2019)]. This is what also made Netanyahu visit Sochi to find out the Russian position if confrontation erupted, especially that Russia has agreements with Iran: [Netanyahu said before leaving for the Sochi resort to meet Putin: This is a very important trip and at this time, we work in a number of areas, 360 degrees to ensure the security of Israel, and against Iran's attempts to attack us, we are working against them ... (Middle East 12/9/2019)].
3- America realized the danger of the British policy of pushing the Jewish entity to war against Iran and its arms in the region. This war is not only harmful to Iran and its arms, but will hit the Jewish entity and America cannot remain a spectator while the Jewish entity is fighting a war. So America took that seriously immediately after the events of 25/8/2019 in Lebanon and Iraq and a day earlier in Syria. What is apparent is that America is working to thwart those attempts when America learned of the visit of the Prime Minister of the Jewish entity to Britain, which predominantly took the form of military planning, (Netanyahu was accompanied by the President of the National Security Council Meir Ben Shabat, and Navy commander Amikam Nurkin and Chief of Operations In the IDF Maj. Gen. Aharon Halewa).
Military planning with Britain means the use of the Jewish entity of the facilities of the English military bases Akrotiri and Diklia in Cyprus or the participation of British aircraft and navy in the two bases in the war in secret, and this is not at all unlikely in light of the slaps directed by Iran to Britain as mentioned above. When America learned this, it thwarted the visit by sending its Defense Secretary to London to meet with Netanyahu, examine the security needs of the Jewish entity, and to agree to listen to his security concerns about Iran to assure the Jewish entity of preserving its security and defending it against any threats, but also to discourage it from waging war, and its coordination with Britain.
Fourth: Thus, it is likely that the main purpose of Netanyahu's visit to Britain was to consider steps to escalate the military confrontation against Iran in a way that leaves no room for the United States but to participate in it. Britain is expected to continue its approach to entice a Jewish entity with the war and military support by the use of British bases in Cyprus or so, and provide the necessary facilities in countries it controls, like Jordan and the UAE in particular. In return, America continues to push Iran and its arms to respond lightly without a strong response and this has been the focus of "the axis of resistance" for decades: "Response in the right place and time" or to respond for face-saving response without any real effect. This is in addition to America's work within the Jewish entity to prevent war through US influence within the entity's army. The situation is as it as in 2012 according to Jewish sources that the Jewish entity was spying on Iran to bomb it.
America spies on the Jewish entity to find out its plans against Iran and prevent them. This is the same equation today. Though America's side of the scale against war is likely to happen compared to Britain's of igniting the war, but the situation remains on the brink of explosion between the Jewish entity, tempted by Britain and its tools and support on the one hand, and Iran and its arms on the other. And the American directing on both fronts until the matter is settled on one side from all the parties!
The purpose of the visit to Russia is different from the purpose of visiting Britain; the first visit was to coordinate efforts between Netanyahu and Britain on the hot movement of events to confront Iran and to embarrass America by participating in it. Russia's visit was to find out its position on Iran's and its missiles presence in Syria, and if Russia can use "soft" pressure to pull Iran out from Syria or at least to distance itself from occupied Palestine enough to keep ballistic missiles away from harming the Jewish entity, and not to coordinate the confrontation with Iran; Russia has agreements with it. So coordination of confrontation against Iran is not expected to happen between Russia and the Jewish entity.
Fifth: and lastly the Ruwaibida (ignorant) rulers in the Muslim countries allow access to the Kafir colonialists even without their approval and permission! The Kafir colonialists interfere in the Muslims' issues and put down solutions and draw plans to achieve their interests and to destroy the Muslims' benefit. However if a Muslim group or party is established in the Muslim countries among them that calls to the truth and shows the correct Islamic solutions to our problems, by resuming the Islamic way of life and establishing the Khilafah (Caliphate), this group will be considered violating the law and will be trialed, tortured and imprisoned...etc. This is injustice but the truth will prevail and will destroy the falsehood
(وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ)
"And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned" [Ash-Shu'ara: 227].
(إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَذِكْرَى لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ)
"Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]" [Qaf: 37]

Analysis of a General Family of Regularized Navier–Stokes and MHD Models
Author(s): Holst, Michael
Lunasin, Evelyn
Tsogtgerel, Gantumur
https://doi.org/10.1007/s00332-010-9066-x
We consider a general family of regularized Navier–Stokes and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) models on n-dimensional smooth compact Riemannian manifolds with or without boundary, with n≥2. This family captures most of the specific regularized models that have been proposed and analyzed in the literature, including the Navier–Stokes equations, the Navier–Stokes-α model, the Leray-α model, the modified Leray-α model, the simplified Bardina model, the Navier–Stokes–Voight model, the Navier–Stokes-α-like models, and certain MHD models, in addition to representing a larger 3-parameter family of models not previously analyzed. This family of models has become particularly important in the development of mathematical and computational models of turbulence. We give a unified analysis of the entire three-parameter family of models using only abstract mapping properties of the principal dissipation and smoothing operators, and then use assumptions about the specific form of the parameterizations, leading to specific models, only when necessary to obtain the sharpest results. We first establish existence and regularity results, and under appropriate assumptions show uniqueness and stability. We then establish some results for singular perturbations, which as special cases include the inviscid limit of viscous models and the α→0 limit in α models. Next, we show existence of a global attractor for the general model, and then give estimates for the dimension of the global attractor and the number of degrees of freedom in terms of a generalized Grashof number. We then establish some results on determining operators for the two distinct subfamilies of dissipative and non-dissipative models. We finish by deriving some new length-scale estimates in terms of the Reynolds number, which allows for recasting the Grashof number-based results into analogous statements involving the Reynolds number. In addition to recovering most of the existing results on existence, regularity, uniqueness, stability, attractor existence, and dimension, and determining operators for the well-known specific members of this family of regularized Navier–Stokes and MHD models, the framework we develop also makes possible a number of new results for all models in the general family, including some new results for several of the well-studied models. Analyzing the more abstract generalized model allows for a simpler analysis that helps bring out the core common structure of the various regularized Navier–Stokes and magnetohydrodynamics models, and also helps clarify the common features of many of the existing and new results. To make the paper reasonably self-contained, we include supporting material on spaces involving time, Sobolev spaces, and Grönwall-type inequalities.

Does Starbucks New CEO Signal a Culture Change?Does Starbucks New CEO Signal a Culture Change?
Starbucks announced yesterday that Laxman Narasimhan will replace CEO Howard Schultz as the company's new CEO. Named interim CEO, Schultz has been CEO and Board chairman off and on at the company for over 35 years and is chief architect of their culture. As successor to Schultz, Narasimhan has big shoes to fill and begs the question, "what can we expect from his leadership"?
Starbucks' decision to go outside the company for their new CEO indicates either an inability to effectively develop leaders to the highest level or a desire for something different. To be certain, it takes a unique individual to run an organization of this scale. Still, companies can and often do develop CEO successors internally, especially when maintaining the culture is a priority.
When it comes to leadership experience, Schultz and Narasimhan have a few things in common. Both led large, multinational brands and both did so during the pandemic. Beyond that, the two followed very different career paths.
Schultz's career is almost entirely coupled with Starbucks. He began with the company in 1982 and has played a vital role in its leadership, essentially since the late 1980s. In contrast, Narasimhan began his career with McKinsey & Company, eventually becoming a Director, over 19 years. After McKinsey, Laxman went to Pepsi, where he held multiple roles over a relatively short, 4 years, before joining Reckitt Benckiser (RB) in 2019.
One concern with leaders changing positions as often as Laxman has, is whether they've excelled too quickly, rarely if ever, remaining in roles long enough to own the changes they implemented, or be accountable to the long-term implications of those decisions. However, the glaring concern in experience is Narasimhan's lack of experience leading retail. Obviously, his experience with Pepsi serves him well, relative to Starbucks packaged beverages. However, it is his "transformational" experience the Starbucks board seems most interested in, as the coffee chain looks to reinvent itself.
Leadership Style
When it comes to their leadership style, there are indications the two are quite different. First and foremost, how each person positions themselves to the public is very different.
Howard Schultz's LinkedIn Profile About Text
In his short (19 words), very casual LinkedIn Bio, Shultz emphasizes the importance he places on developing people. In contrast, Narasimhan's About section sounds like it was written by RB's PR department.
Laxman Narasimhan's LinkedIn Profile About Section
Digital Leadership Culture Index
The Digital Leadership Culture Index (DLCI) Score is the standard for ranking organizational leadership cultures based on publicly available data. When comparing RB, where Laxman has led the last 3 years, and Starbucks, we can see the perceptions of leadership styles by both men.
Overall: Both organizations rank slightly below average for their Fortune 500 peers, with Reckitt at 72.4%, Starbucks at 71.9%, and the Fortune 500 at 74.46%.
Recommend to Friend: Starbucks is surprisingly low here, at 70%, Reckitt also low at 74% and Fortune 500 at 80.36%.
Work/Life Balance: Reckitt (70%) and Starbucks (74%) are close to the Fortune 500 at 72.67%
Pay & Benefits: Both leaders led with excellence in this category, with Starbucks (76%) and Reckitt (74%) both well ahead of the Fortune 500 average at only 68.79%.
Job Security & Enhancements: Reckitt (66%) still beats the Fortune 500 average (62.66%) but falls much shorter than Starbucks (72%), indicating a gap in the level of trust and professional development styles of the two leaders.
Culture: Starbucks is killing it at 78%, while Reckitt is virtually tied with the Fortune 500 at (70% and 69.74%).
Management: Reckitt and Starbucks are virtually tied at 68% with the Fortune 500 peers t 67%.
Approve of CEO: This is where RB & Narasimhan kill it. Laxman has an amazingly high 84% score, while Schultz has a surprisingly low 61% vs. the Fortune 500 peers are at 78.9%.
Review Highlights: When dissecting the text of employee reviews at both companies, it's interesting to note that RB reviews from Marketing titled professionals are notably more negative than Starbucks, suggesting Marketing professionals at Starbucks may not be as happy with Laxman's approach.
DLCI Score Data for Starbucks
DLCI Score Data for Reckitt
In summary, it is surprising to see a company so proud of its culture look externally for their new CEO. Indications are employees love Laxman Narasimhan, though he may not value professional development within the company, according to review scores. Starbucks board and Schultz seem aware of the concerns the external hire raises, as they plan a long transition – October to April, with continued support from Schultz through 2023. Whatever happens, I hope I can still get my iced, venti, almond-milk latte with an extra shot of espresso from my local barista, with a smile every day.

Tiger fans prepare for early home game
1 year 8 months 3 days ago Friday, November 10 2017 Nov 10, 2017 November 10, 2017 9:07 PM November 10, 2017 in News
By: Bess Casserleigh
BATON ROUGE - The latest chapter in the battle for the Golden Boot starts again Saturday morning for the 21st year, and Tiger fans are hungry to win.
"We're going to beat their butts," said 11-year-old Wyatt Wilson.
The Tigers lead the series 12 to 8, but with three losses already this year, nothing is for certain. Tomorrow's game is unique in that it starts before lunch. The last time Tiger fans had to get up this early for a home game was in 2011 when LSU played host to the Kentucky Wildcats.
"That's terrible," said Leslie Burl. "I gotta get up, cook breakfast for everybody, go to the game. I'm staying back, I'm cooking a hog just in time for Arkansas."
However, an 11 o'clock kickoff won't keep tailgaters from doing their thing. Linda Boroi came all the way from North Carolina for her first LSU tailgating experience.
"Everybody's really into it," she said. "I mean it's just amazing. It's like a little city when you come here, so we loved it."
Also at tomorrow's game, be sure to look out for a special Veteran's Day tribute including a brand new seat in the stadium that will remain empty to memorialize POW/MIA veterans.

Brawling Over Food at the Asylum Center
Posted on November 16, 2009 by Baron Bodissey
Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer sends this translation from yesterday's Dagbladet. It concerns a free-for-all that occurred on Saturday night at an asylum center about thirty miles southeast of Oslo:
Serious injuries in brawl at asylum center
Two people sent to hospital
Twenty people armed with knives and baseball bats involved in a brawl in Mysen.
At least two people were injured in a brawl, in which weapons were used, at the local asylum center in Mysen last night according to Smaalenene.no.
Security personnel from Securitas have been assigned to the center to ensure that the situation doesn't escalate tonight.
One police patrol car and four ambulances were dispatched to the asylum center, which is situated in Vagduveien [Vagdu street].
One of the individuals involved in the brawl received serious lacerations to his head. Another one received fractures after being hit with a baseball bat. One of the injured was taken to a hospital in Oslo, another one to a hospital in Fredrikstad, and a third individual received medical attention at the asylum center.
Six people apprehended
Six people have been apprehended in connection with the brawl according to NRK [Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation].
"The brawl started when supper was being served," according to police sergeant Anders Oksvold from Follo Police department.
Argument over meals
There have been several altercations in the past concerning the distribution of the meals at the center. Last October police had to dispatch several police patrols to the center on separate occasions after altercations occurred in the canteen in the asylum center. In one incident police apprehended four individuals aged 17 to 18, according to NTB [Norwegian News Agency].
Afghans and Somalis were involved in those altercations too
"It has never been this bad before."
A similar incident occurred in September, according to an individual who lives next door to the asylum center. He told Smaalenes Avis [local newspaper] that brawls at the center, which is situated in a residential area, is a common occurrence, but that things have never been this bad before.
Police were first contacted at 21.15.
At least 20 residents at the center started arguing over trivial things, and this caused the brawl. Weapons such as baseball bats, knives, weights, and barbells from the fitness studio were used in the ensuing commotion according to the local paper.
Tense for some time now
There have been tensions among residents from various ethnic groups for some time now.
Neighboring police department were notified of the situation, and local residents were urged to stay away.
"We were initially asked by the Follo police department to assist them, but this request was later cancelled. We received the request at 21.30," the head of operations at Østfold police department told Dagbladet.
Jasim Salim, second in command at the asylum center, told smaalenene.no that there have been ongoing tensions between two of the factions at the center.

Its racism not to let the participant party in their own ethnic style and go all the way, according to the rich culture they are bringing to Norway.

It's "what they get" that is the problem.
Now if they want handeling in respect to their culture, then cut the hands of arabs caught thieving in Wollworths, Stoe arabs to death. It IS their "culture" after all.
To add more spice to proceddings, hire police and prison staff from "back home" to deal with them.
It IS their culture after all, and who knows better how to handle a scum bag from the Middle East than a Middle East copper/Prison warder?

Battlefields in Vietnam	Battlefields in Vietnam
Battlefields in Vietnam
Paradissa's guide to battlefields in Vietnam are dedicated providing information on the former battlefields in Vietnam which could be of interest to those who love to learn about the Vietnamese history.
Taking a historical tour or battlefield tour in Vietnam with us through visiting former battlefields would help our travellers more understanding of the past and may have more ideas of what is going on at present, and possibly foreseeing something in the future…
With thousands of years of the Vietnamese history, it is not easy for us to put all into a little guide. In this article we only focus on the battlegrounds during the Indochina War from 1946 (when the French colonialists came back to Vietnam and Indochina) to 1975 (when Vietnam was re-unified). The former battlefields below are listed as per the timeline of the battles.
1/Hanoi (1945-1946)
Hanoi was where important events took place which helped you much in-depth understanding of what went on later in the Vietnamese history. Hanoi was where the Vietnam seized power in the August Revolution (1945) and Hanoi was where the first pitched battle took place between the Viet Minh and the French troops.
The Post Office of Hanoi, site of a major battle between the Viet Minh and the French Troops
2/Thai Nguyen, Bac Kan and the ATK (1947) – Operation Cloclo by the French
Before the August Revolution the ATK was where the headquarters of the Viet Minh was located. After the two-month battle of Hanoi, the Viet Minh took to the jungle again and again it was Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan (ATK). The French wanted to crush down on all the Vietnamese movements and wanted to capture the leaders of Viet Minh, Operation Cloclo was implimented. What revealed during and after the operation was no doubt very interesting.
Tin Keo Hut at ATK (Dinh Hoa, Thai Nguyen)
3/Cao Bang, Route Coloniale 4 (RC4), Dong Khe Battle, the Cao Bang Debacle (1950) – The Border Campaign by the Viet Minh
Cao Bang was the site of a big French outpost after their 1947 operation into the Northeast. The Viet Minh was determined in removing the French forts in the Northeast. In 1950 the Viet Minh showed their full maturity in battles against the French legionnaires. It was the Viet Minh that took initiatives in a series of battles and operations in removing French strongholds in the Northeast of Vietnam and they were successful. Visiting Cao Bang, RC4, Dong Khe and Lang Son you'll have full understanding of this chapter of the First Indochina War.

4/Hoa Binh (1951-1952) started by the French
After the Border Operation in 1950, the Viet Minh initiated a series of attacks further to the extreme Northeast of Vietnam (Battle of Dong Trieu) and the vicinity of Hanoi to the northwest (Vinh Yen), into the Delta (Battle of Ninh Binh). Though Viet Minh's victory in the Border Campaign was enormous, the results of their successive operations in late 1950 and in 1951 were limited. That was probably because of the newly appointed French Commander and Commissioner – Jean De Lattre De Tassigny who was capable enough to have timely measures against the Viet Minh strategy.
And De Lattre wanted to get back initiatives in the battlefields. Operation Hoa Binh started by the French in late 1951 early 1952 was the result. De Lattre was not lucky this time as he gave a golden opportunity to the Viet Minh and General Giap was clearly aware that he and his troops were not allowed to miss the chance… And the Viet Minh made it.
The Black River (Da River) - Site of the Hoa Binh Battle
5/The Northwest of Vietnam (Son La, Dien Bien Phu, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, Yen Bai) - Operation North-West (1952) started by the Viet Minh
The Battle of Hoa Binh undermined the last hope for military victory among the French politicians in France and French military officers in Indochina. Still pulling out of Indochina was not in the cards. On the other side, the Viet Minh was determined to move forwards clearing one region after another by causing high casualties to the French troops. The Northeast of Vietnam had been liberated and the next should be the Northwest. The operation started at Nghia Lo (Yen Bai) and concluded at Na San (Son La). Success to the Viet Minh was a huge liberated zone in the Northwest and their failure was that the French stronghold at Na San remained strong...

6/Dien Bien Phu (1953 – 1954)
Recalling Dien Bien Phu, we must not forget recalling Na San. Na San was a big puzzle to General Giap and the Viet Minh troops in 1953, to advance further they had to find a resolution to it. On the French side, Na San was a victory and that victory should be duplicated and multiplied.
Dien Bien Phu was not in the plan by Henri Eugène Navarre, the newly appointed Commander in chief of the French forces in Indochina in 1953. It was Navarred who moved first in the dry season of 1953-1954 and he chose Dien Bien Phu to make a challenge to General Giap. On his side, General Giap prayed hard that it was a real challenge; and if was real, the liberation war of his people was close to decisive moments.

7/Dakpo, Mang Yang Pass, An Khe, Gia Lai Province – Battle of Mang Yang (1954)
The Battle of Mang Yang (Dak Po Bridge, Mang Yang Pass, An Khe, Gia Lai) was the last one of major scale during the First Indochina War (1946-1954). The battle took place on June 24th , 1954 which was over a month after the French fall at Dien Bien Phu. Groupement Mobile 100, which had had good reputation in South Korea before they were deployed to Vietnam, was among the best forces in the French troops in Indochina after Dien Bien Phu.
Paradissa hosts a historical tour for one day to the site of this battle, and we have a number of interesting Vietnam battlefield tours which include a visit to this site. On the visit, you'll learn why was this battle and whether it was necessary for such a brutal battle?

Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3 with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Herbert von Karajan. Commanding the podium with his slender figure, theatrical shock of hair and penetrating blue eyes, Herbert von Karajan (1908-1989) projected the hieratic image of the conductor as officiant of some quasi-mystic rite. And anyone who ever saw him conduct live or on his many audiovisual recordings will agree that in his performances, music did indeed become a religion and Karajan its high-priest. Karajan embodied classical music in the general consciousness as an epoch-making conductor, media star, opera producer, festival director and festival founder. But in spite of his Promethean and widely varied activities, he remained a superb conductor, with a grasp of the standard orchestral and operatic repertory from Mozart to Schoenberg that was unsurpassed among his peers.

When oil prices spiked -- and oil profits soared -- 26 years ago, virtually every newspaper intern in America (including me) was dispatched to gasoline stations to collect quotes from irate motorists. Big Oil was viewed as public enemy number one: Congress convened hearings to skewer oil industry execs, regulatory agencies investigated pricing, and some news organizations rented helicopters to scour the waters (in vain) for signs of oil tankers floating offshore just waiting for prices to climb higher.
In recent months, oil company profits have soared again as international crude oil prices have hit new highs. Yet the reaction of the American public has been more muted. And that has probably emboldened Congress -- which, instead of investigating oil companies, just handed them (by various estimates) anywhere from $1.4 billion to $4 billion in tax breaks in the new energy bill.
Still, inquiring minds want to know: Isn't there something wrong when firms profit so richly from the misfortune of the U.S. economy and American consumers?
There's no question that the drain on the average American's pocketbook has been a gusher for the big oil companies. Just look at the financial statements issued at the end of July. Exxon Mobil Corp.'s second quarter earnings climbed 35 percent from the second quarter of 2004 (after excluding special items) to $7.64 billion. BP PLC, the world's second-largest publicly traded oil company, said its net income increased 29 percent, to $5.59 billion. At Royal Dutch Shell PLC, second-quarter profits rose 34 percent to $5.24 billion. ConocoPhillips, the third-largest U.S. oil company, did even better; it reported an eye-popping 51 percent jump in earnings, to $3.14 billion.
What's behind those numbers? When oil prices rise, petroleum companies that have long-term contracts or own oil reserves get a huge windfall. After all, they may have invested and developed those oil fields when prices were anywhere from $10 to $25 a barrel. Suddenly prices spurt upward and the companies are awash in profits.
Prices for North Sea Brent crude oil averaged $51.63 a barrel in the second quarter of this year, 46 percent more than the $35.32-a-barrel average a year earlier, BP told investors last month. In the United States, crude oil prices have been running about five times as high as 1998 levels, according to Energy Department statistics.
Okay, but what about the companies that refine crude oil and market gasoline? If their raw material (oil) costs more, shouldn't that squeeze their earnings? That's often the case, but not this year. Americans haven't really altered their driving habits and that has made it easier for firms to raise pump prices for consumers without worrying about losing business.
Exxon Mobil Corp.'s second quarter earnings show how these dynamics work. More than half of the company's profit surge came from bigger earnings on the 2.5 million barrels a day of oil and 8.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas that Exxon Mobil produces itself, the so-called "upstream earnings." More surprising was Exxon Mobil's ability to pass along those increases to consumers. Exxon Mobil (like other oil companies) was actually able to boost margins for what the industry calls "downstream" operations of retailing and refining. Profits in those operations, after excluding a special charge for the settlement of a lawsuit, were $2.2 billion, up 47 percent from 2004, even though the amount of petroleum products the company sold rose less than 3 percent.
Just how big is a company like Exxon Mobil? Its sales in the second quarter were $88.6 billion, a rate that would make its revenues larger than the gross domestic product of all but 18 or so countries -- and a bit bigger than Wal-Mart's sales. Exxon Mobil's profits for the quarter were about 50 percent more than Citigroup's and 2 1/2 times Microsoft's.
The sign of a great company? Money to spend finding energy solutions? Not necessarily. Exxon Mobil upped its capital and exploration budget last quarter, but it spent nearly as much buying back its own shares, bolstering its stock price. This quarter, the company said, it will spend even more -- $5 billion -- repurchasing shares. If only drivers could fill their tanks with stock certificates.

Cacatua sulphurea citrinocristata
This large, white parrot has a yellow crest and the feathers under the wing and tail are yellow. Citron-crested cockatoos are one of the rarest species of cockatoos in the world. They can only be found on the island of Sumba, in Indonesia.
The smallest species of cockatoo (and hence the smallest member of the entire taxonomic superfamily Cacatuidea) is the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus).
The best part of having animals together is to see their relationships. Coco is an incredibly social individual — she still bears the scars of birds who didn't want to be her friends.

Figure 1: For cockatoos, cockatiels, and hawkheaded parrots, raising the head crest can mean excitement, fear, and joy, among other things. Parrots also fluff their feathers after a preening session so that all of the particles of dirt they have just removed will fall away.
If you are the owner of a cockatoo, especially a white one, you have undoubtedly encountered their constant demand for cuddling. While there are many parrot species that enjoy the hands-on attention from their owners, the cockatoo stands alone in their neediness for physical attention.
Cockatoo Food
The umbrella cockatoo, also known as the white cockatoo or the great white-crested cockatoo, is well-known in bird circles as being one of the most affectionate and affable companion birds widely available on the market today.
Cockatoos can become aggressive, sometimes lunging at or biting members of your family. An aggressive cockatoo is not trying to be mean or malicious—instead, this type of behavior may result from fear, stress, or improper socialization. You can deal with aggressive behavior by understanding what triggers the behavior.
Cockatoos are popular birds in aviculture, but their needs are difficult to meet. The cockatiel is the easiest cockatoo species to maintain and is by far the most frequently kept in captivity. White cockatoos are more commonly found in captivity than black cockatoos.

EduTech: The Best Educational Cross-Platform App For Group Messaging
Ukejeh Aloysius EjikeApr 25, 2017 12:56 AM EDT
EduTech is a 9to5Mac week after week series that spotlights on technology's application in education, lower and higher level, both for efficiency and satisfaction. However, in education, group communication is practically fundamental. Regardless of whether you are a student working through a repulsive group project, or an educator speaking with associates, group communication is very significant.
According to TechCrunch, a lot of applications exist that make group communication very easy. Whilst there are iMessage, which is not usually advisable because of a large number of individuals who make use of Android. Nevertheless, when working with educational group messages, there are a couple of things that are required. This consists of cross-platform accessibility, seamless image, media and notification support.
GroupMe was first released as a TechCrunch Disrupt product, getting $10.6 million in funding. After a year, thereafter, Skype bought GroupMe for $80 million. GroupMe is a group communication application that gained notoriety generally because of its utilization in educational environments, particularly in universities.
GroupMe is cross-platform, accessible on iOS, Android, and the web, something that is critical for educational group messaging. Moreover, in the United States of America, GroupMe features SMS messages, which means the individuals who don't have the application can at least send and get messages, though in a more restricted manner reported 9to5Mac.
It was revealed that when the GroupMe application is opened, one will see the option to sign in either with Facebook or Twitter account, or to create a new account making use of biodata such as name, cell phone number, and email address. When all these are done, GroupMe will request permission to synchronize one's contacts to see who is already a GroupMe member.

Four-alarm fire destroys 22 apartments in Oak Park
OAK PARK, Ill. (STMW) - Firefighters responded to the four-alarm blaze about 9:30 p.m. at the three-story, 22-unit apartment building in the 200 block of Washington Boulevard, Oak Park Fire Department Deputy Chief Peter Pilafas told reporters at the scene.
Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy flames in the rear of the building, stretching from the ground to the roof, Pilafas said. One firefighter suffered minor injuries battling the blaze and was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.
No residents were injured, but all 22 units were rendered uninhabitable, Pilafas said. The American Red Cross was called to the scene to assist with housing for the residents, who took shelter in a Pace bus while investigators interviewed them in the hopes of determining the cause of the fire.
A two-flat building to the east of the apartment complex may have also suffered damage because of the fire, Pilafas said. Firefighters from 11 surrounding communities assisted in extinguishing the blaze.
Theresa Davis, a resident on the third floor, told reporters that she and her daughter were getting ready for bed when the girl screamed that she heard a loud boom.
"It's like something had exploded in just mid-air," she said. "All of a sudden there was a rush of smoke that just, like, engulfed through our apartment and it's like we heard the windows busting and everything. We were like, 'Oh my god, it's an explosion!' So I was like, 'Let's get out of the house, get out of the house!' We couldn't think of anything else to do but hurry and race out."
Davis said she didn't know what caused the fire, but added that it happened so fast that it caught her off guard. She ran out of the house with only flip flops on her feet.
"It was just really, really horrifying," she said. "I'm just so glad that we got out in time, me and my family."

The most influential woman in arts and culture in South Africa shares what she's learnt about resilience, humanity and, above all, about the power of her voice and the music in her soul.
You know when Artscape Theatre Centre CEO Marlene Le Roux is in the house. You might not immediately see her in a crowd – she's short – but you'll sense the buzz around her. She's the one with the bright red lipstick and radiant smile, the infectious laugh, the big personality.
Marlene spent her childhood visiting doctors at the Princess Alice Home and Orthopaedic Hospital in Retreat. 'We used to get up at 4am to catch the train to get there by 8am. It smelt like dirt. It was "whites only" and "blacks only". The two women from the community who accompanied me would sit, wait, and never complain. When it was our turn, the doctors wouldn't even acknowledge them, as if they were invisible.
Still processing the death of her cerebral palsy son who could neither speak nor see, regrouping after a recent divorce and recuperating from shoulder surgery, Marlene soldiers on. 'Polio is about weakness of muscles. It's just wear and tear. I see too many people who suffer more than me.
Marlene describes her job as 'everything beyond the arts'. It's about health and safety within the theatre complex, achieving transformational objectives (including skills development), and creating a sense of community for all those who 'come to see the magic'. 'We run a huge education programme with the Western Cape Education Department.
Among Marlene's career accolades are the Commonwealth Points of Light Award granted by Queen Elizabeth in honour of her inspiring voluntary work, the German Africa Prize for services to peace, democracy and human rights, and a lifetime achievement award for her work in youth development from the Western Cape Department of Social Development.
She's an alumnus of Stellenbosch University and is currently reading her MPhil in Disability Studies at the University of Cape Town. She's a chevalier in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters), and was part of the international jury panel for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 – the only expert whose first language was not English. She is Afrikaans. She sits on the Presidential Task Team for Disability and served two terms on the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities.
skills, instil dignity and restore pride to disadvantaged children in rural areas. She also works with the Stigting vir Bemagtiging deur Afrikaans (Foundation for Empowerment by Afrikaans), which offers reading programmes for mothers, literature programmes for farmworkers and mentorships to equip young people from very poor backgrounds to go to university. In addition, she helps raise awareness around the need for financial support for Friends Day Centre, a special care and activity centre for severely physically and mentally handicapped children and adults in Maitland, where Adam spent some time. 'In my next life, I want to be a principal in a primary school in a rural, very deprived area, because that's where you can really make a difference,' she says.
Meanwhile, through Artscape, Marlene channels some of her seemingly boundless energy into the annual Youth Jazz Festival and High School Drama Festival. The latter features children from 15 schools across the metropolis performing on stage each night and the opening act is always a special needs or rural school. 'We celebrate South Africa without having any politics involved. That programme is finalised up to 2020,' says Marlene.
Arts lovers in the outlying areas also benefit through her passion and conviction. She's the driving force behind a long-running programme that takes theatre to the people.
Despite her involvement in so many projects, Marlene maintains that we still need to do a lot for the arts. 'Artscape still needs to transform a lot but sometimes our own egos, perceptions, hurt and bitterness get in the way of where we want to see ourselves. Where I lead, I must make a difference,' she says.

Silicon Valley – Nerds Rejoice
Review TV
The world that is Silicon Valley is put on display for everyone to see the quirks and oddities of this industry through this amazing HBO Comedy. Silicon Valley offers an abundance of highly relevant and insightful thoughts on the state of the Dotcom craze. It's all packaged within an engaging scenario brimming with sharp humor, endearingly eccentric characters and the chance to come along for the ride while they try to make millions.
HBO managed to develop all the characters within a short span of 8 episodes that you can't help but love these guys while they go their trials and tribulations in the most hilarious way. Each character is very different from the next with Richard being the main character and each one playing a role in the Pied Piper company. The funny part being that Hooli in the show is acting like a combination of Google/Yahoo in my opinion. It is a show which the nerdiest nerd will love as well as someone with no technical understanding what so ever, living in the bay area for over 5 years I can't help but love this show on so many levels. If you haven't watched it your really missing out.

The story of Steve Jobs' ascension from college dropout into one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.
You could tell these guys wanted this movie, they wanted to make it, Steve Jobs is just that much of a legend that people wanted to get his story across, especially Ashton Kutcher. The similarity between him and Steve Jobs is uncanny, its honestly frightening how similar he looked. But even with all the things they tried to get right as Steve Jobs grew from being in College and rejoining Apple at the later stage the story felt like it was missing. For most people they would enjoy the movie, but a lot of us are very familiar with history of Apple for the past 10 years and reading a few books after his passing brought more of his story to light. This movie didn't do him justice as Steve Jobs more of the story or a different part of it could have been told to bring it across better.

I seriously love this song, I love the original and this remix is priceless from Mike Shinoda. A very cool update to an old school song, I love the funny stuff added but still keeping it smooth. Mike Shinoda is the rapper from Linkin Park and Fort Minor one of my favorite artists.
I liked the original "Wednesday" a lot; wanted to add a little homage to the Ice Cube original in the beat, so I remixed it.

Technology Work
Valleywag has been scooping up dirt on the Silicon Valley for a little while now, and they seem to have a very good idea of the worst IT jobs in that area. They can be monotonous jobs with low paying wages, no where to go, and each person would be burnt out mentally before completing one year at the job, not including the bad working environments which resemble caves in the basements.

Home / Blog / Cost-of-living squeeze: what are the Chancellor's options?

Cost-of-living squeeze: what are the Chancellor's options?
Taxes are good for two purposes. First, raising money to pay for the things that a government needs to do. Second, redistributing money within a society. They are not, however, an effective means of delivering targeted support to particular sectors of society.
Despite this limitation, the Chancellor is under pressure to use the tax system to help households facing a cost-of-living squeeze because of rocketing energy prices, higher inflation and rising interest rates.
Having spent some £400 billion supporting the economy during the pandemic, it's hardly surprising that the Chancellor has little room to manoeuvre. With the benefit of hindsight, three current tax constraints are a legacy of previous governments' decisions.
First, the failure to raise fuel duty over many years has been popular with motorists but has depleted the Treasury's reserves while also exacerbating the political and economic cost of tackling the climate emergency. Second, the restriction of the tax base following the coalition government's boost to personal allowances leaves the Chancellor with little choice but to freeze income tax thresholds in April 2022. Third, the April 2022 National Insurance contribution increase, which will become the health and social care levy, reflects personal pledges by a long line of Prime Ministers to fix the broken social care system following years of underfunding.
Facing the twin spectres of rising household costs and declining electoral popularity, what is the Government to do? The Chancellor's inbox is not short of suggestions, most of which involve tax. For example:
abolish VAT on domestic energy bills;
scrap the April 2022 NIC increase;
drop the plan to freeze income tax thresholds;
remove green levies on electricity bills;
impose a windfall tax on offshore oil and gas operators.
Without a doubt, tax has a big role to play when it's necessary to change behaviours. Air passenger duty and tobacco duty are examples which come readily to mind. But tax is notoriously inefficient at delivering benefits to specific groups.
Before making any changes, the Chancellor must consider whether the increased cost of living is temporary or permanent. Fiscal policy cannot be used to counteract a permanent fall in living standards.
By their very nature, tax cuts tend to be expensive and unfocused, benefiting those who need them as well as those who do not. More direct support for those in need is a much better approach.
This leaves the Chancellor with two key questions. Whether or not he imposes a windfall tax on oil and gas operators, how much can the country afford? And how should those funds best be used to support the vulnerable?
With an urgent need to head off the cost-of-living squeeze, increases to universal credit, the warm home discount scheme and pension credit are beginning to look like the simplest, quickest and best-focused solutions for the Chancellor.

Can we normalise developmentally appropriate health care for young people in UK hospital settings? An ethnographic study
Rapley, Tim, Farre, Albert, Parr, Jeremy R, Wood, Victoria J, Reape, Debbie, Dovey-Pearce, Gail and McDonagh, Janet (2019) Can we normalise developmentally appropriate health care for young people in UK hospital settings? An ethnographic study. BMJ Open, 9 (9). e029107. ISSN 2044-6055

OBJECTIVE: The WHO has argued that adolescent-responsive health systems are required. Developmentally appropriate healthcare (DAH) for young people is one approach that could underpin this move. The aim of this study was to explore the potential for DAH to become normalised, to become a routine, taken-for-granted, element of clinical practice. DESIGN: Qualitative ethnographic study. Analyses were based on procedures from first-generation grounded theory and theoretically informed by normalisation process theory. SETTING: Two tertiary and one secondary care hospital in England. PARTICIPANTS: 192 participants, health professionals (n=121) and managers (n=71) were recruited between June 2013 and January 2015. Approximately 1600 hours of non-participant observations in clinics, wards and meeting rooms were conducted, alongside 65 formal qualitative interviews. RESULTS: We observed diverse values and commitments towards the care of young people and provision of DAH, including a distributed network of young person-orientated practitioners. Informal networks of trust existed, where specific people, teams or wards were understood to have the right skill-mix, or mindset, or access to resources, to work effectively with young people. As young people move through an organisation, the preference is to direct them to other young person-orientated practitioners, so inequities in skills and experience can be self-sustaining. At two sites, initiatives around adolescent and young adult training remained mostly within these informal networks of trust. At another, through support by wider management, we observed a programme that sought to make the young people's healthcare visible across the organisation, and to get people to reappraise values and commitment. CONCLUSION: To move towards normalisation of DAH within an organisation, we cannot solely rely on informal networks and cultures of young person-orientated training, practice and mutual referral and support. Organisation-wide strategies and training are needed, to enable better integration and consistency of health services for all young people.
