The Grandchildren: The Hidden Legacy of "Lost" Armenians in Turkey, Ayse Gul Altinay and Fethiye Cetin (hardcover) quantity
SKU: ACE2007-010 Categories: Genocide, History
The Grandchildren is a collection of intimate, harrowing testimonies by grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Turkey's "forgotten Armenians"—the orphans adopted and Islamized by Muslims after the Armenian genocide. Through them we learn of the tortuous routes by which they came to terms with the painful stories of their grandparents and their own identity. The postscript offers a historical overview of the silence about Islamized Armenians in most histories of the genocide.
When Fethiye Cetin, one of the co-editors, first published her groundbreaking memoir in Turkey, My Grandmother, she spoke of her grandmother's hidden Armenian identity. The book sparked a conversation among Turks about the fate of the Ottoman Armenians in Anatolia in 1915. This resulted in an explosion of debate on Islamized Armenians and their legacy in contemporary Muslim families.
The Grandchildren (translated from Turkish) is a follow-up to My Grandmother, and is an important contribution to understanding survival during atrocity. As witnesses to a dark chapter of history, the grandchildren of these survivors cast new light on the workings of memory in coming to terms with difficult pasts.

Politicization of Manufacturers
Although colonial manufacturers had always had to reckon with the British government's insistence that home industries not be harmed by colonial ones, the question of manufacturing was even more politicized during the decades before the American Revolution. Repressive British legislation, such as the Townshend Acts, was answered with a series of nonimportation movements, designed to discourage Americans from paying for British goods and to encourage American manufactures. In 1767, a Boston town meeting coupled a call to lobby Parliament to repeal the acts with a call for American authorities to provide bounties for domestic manufactures. This call was heard from many other quarters as well.
The effort to promote American manufacturing in the decades before the Revolution took many forms. In New England and Pennsylvania, there was an attempt to revive and expand domestic spinning. Ministers, newspaper proprietors, and local societies for the promotion of arts sponsored spinning bees and competitions for young women, often imbued with a patriotic flavor. More than sixty spinning parties were reported in local New England newspapers in the 1760s. These meetings usually took place at ministers' houses and were put forth as examples of women's patriotism.
Harvard students flaunted their patriotism by appearing at commencement in outfits entirely American in origin (although America had always produced much of its own clothing). Patriotic colonists in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania were encouraged not to eat lamb, so as to increase the supply of wool. The duty on the importation of paper also led to efforts to encourage the gathering of rags for use by colonial papermakers.
Other efforts to strengthen American industry were on a larger scale and organized on a more capitalistic basis. The earliest surviving American porcelain was made at Southwark in Philadelphia from 1770 to 1772 by the firm of Gousse Bonnin and George Anthony Morris. Bonnin, the leader of the venture, the American China Manufactory, associated his enterprise with American liberty and patriotism, pointing out that Philadelphians were spending 15,000 pounds a year on imported porcelain. He recruited English workers and produced soft-paste porcelain in the manner of the English Bow factory. The firm's failure may have been due to a deliberate effort to sabotage it by dumping British and Dutch porcelain on the American market, although labor difficulties also contributed to its woes. Despite the efforts of Bonnin and other ceramicists, American ceramics were still not of the quality to compete with Wedgwood and other leading British producers efforts to duplicate Wedgwood's popular creamware or queensware in America were unsuccessful and imports continued to dominate the market.
There also were several attempts to address the needs of American shipbuilders for sailcloth and cordage by encouraging Americans to raise hemp. The Society for the Promotion of Arts, Agriculture, and Oeconomy (also known as the New York Society of Arts) was founded in New York in late 1764 by merchants of the city's patriot faction. It focused principally on the development of linen manufacture. The Society succeeded in employing 300 people in the industry and attracted the unfavorable notice of the Board of Trade.
Philadelphia's American Philosophical Society was less successful in its alliance efforts with Philadelphia merchants and the Pennsylvania legislature to promote the silk industry. The society also requested that clays be submitted to it to determine the best deposits for different kinds of ceramics, offered premiums for rags for papermaking, and supported one of the few American glassmakers attempting to make a superior product, Henry William Stiegel. Stiegel founded a glassworks at Manheim, Pennsylvania, in 1768. He planned to manufacture the highest-quality glass, known as flint glass, and the society gave its official approval. One important advantage of flint glass was its superior optical qualities, which the American Philosophical Society, the country's leading scientific organization, was in a position to certify. The society's efforts were in vain, however, as high labor costs and foreign competition forced Stiegel to close his glassworks in 1774.
Another, more effective Philadelphia organization was the United Company of Philadelphia for Promoting American Manufactures, headed by Benjamin Rush. Founded in 1775, it concentrated on textiles and soon employed 700 people. This company survived until the occupation of Philadelphia by the British in 1777.
The British response to the development of American industry in the late eighteenth century concentrated particularly on textiles, the basis of the British export economy in 1772, woolen textiles comprised over 30 percent of British exports to the thirteen colonies. In 1766 and 1768, the Board of Trade required colonial governors to submit reports on all colonial manufactures established since 1734, though most governors described the manufacturing activity in their colonies as negligible. In 1774, Parliament prohibited the export from Britain of tools used in textile manufacture.
Benjamin Franklin, in an interview before the House of Commons, had pointed out that colonists might produce their own manufactured goods if Britain imposed tariffs on exports to America. Therefore, textile manufactures, along with other products of British industry, were omitted from the Townshend duties of 1767. As with the restriction of other freedoms, the quarrels between Britain and the colonies over regulating manufactures contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

With The 5th Royal Scots at Gallipoli
These images come from an album compiled by an officer of the 1/5th Battalion Royal Scots who survived the war. He fought with this unit as part of the 29th Division in Gallipoli, the 1/5th being one of a number of Territorial units attached to what was a regular division. Against orders the officer had packed a camera into his kit and took a number of shots of life at both Cape Helles and ANZAC where the battalion fought, as well as during training in Egypt.
It is hard to believe when looking at the photo above that this is an officer of the battalion; to say he is dressed casually is an understatement but it gives a good insight into how the heat and conditions at Gallipoli forced the British soldiers who fought there to have a complete rethink. Behind him is the dugout occupied by the officers of his company.
Below another officer of the battalion talks to Indian labourers attached to the unit to carry out labouring tasks close to the battlefield; this may have been anything from carrying up ammunition, food or water, to assisting in trench and dugout construction or repair.
There were no official photographers at Gallipoli so we rely on illicit collections like these for our visual insights into the campaign; given the number of such albums known to exist, this officer of the Royal Scots was far from unique but his photos are perhaps the only pictorial record of the Royal Scots in the Gallipoli campaign.
This entry was posted on 21/01/2012 by sommecourt. It was filed under British Army, Gallipoli, Great War, Indian Army, WW1 and was tagged with 1915, ANZAC, Gallipoli, Turkey.

The image of the officer in the first photograph is not surprising. The military high command has traditionally been out of touch with uniforms and climate conditions. One would think they might learn valuable lessons from previous wars. Not so. My father served with the United States Navy during WWII in the Pacific on PT. Boats. They were assigned completely useless uniforms and shoes. The uniforms rotted in the jungle humidity and the boots filled with a gallon of sweat that had to be emptied. The men soon developed their own mish-mash of uniforms, begged, borrowed or stolen from various sources. The idiotic response of the high command? When my father was shipped out along with some of the other men, upon arriving at the base they were assembled for inspection. The commanding officer wanted to know, "Where the hell are your uniforms?" My father responded they rotted at the beginning of the war and no one sent them new replacements. The officer finally was convinced the men were telling him the truth. They were issued new uniforms, but they were incorrectly striped because the tailor couldn't get them all done in time.
Stuart Roxburgh
Thanks for these photos. My great uncle, Pte William Cochrane, served with 1/5 RS at Gallipoli; earning a 'wound stripe' on 30 Jul 1915. He joined the army – under age – and was wounded days after his 18th birthday. He went on to serve in France as well.
William Cochrane
Hi Stuart, I am your uncle William. I have two photos of your great uncle! If you like, leave me your email address and I will email them, to you. Regards, William

My Great Uncle Lynham Wilson served with 5th Batallion Argylle & Sutherland Highlanders from 17/8/1914. Unfortunately according to his papers he was missing then noted as killed in action on 12 July 1915 in the Dardanelles. Is there a war grave or any pictures?

My dad, Lieutenant, later Captain Francis Daniel Hislop was at Gallipoli in 1915 and survived! He was with the 5th Royal Scots and afterwards in the Machine Gun Corps. I would love to know exactly what he did at Gallipoli. In have his war diaries, but not for Gallipoli. Any knowledge anyone please? Jens Hislop. jensandrea@blueyonder.co.uk

Brexit Is Felt Throughout The British Territories
By Yannick B. Vallee , B.A. Political Science, Member of Tolerance.ca®
Brexit will not only have social and economic consequences on the United Kingdom, but this will also be felt throughout the British territories. The British Crown once ruled over a quarter of the Earth; nowadays, Her British Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 2, is sovereign over the United Kingdom, Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey, Isle of Man, and 14 British Overseas Territories. In the event that Brexit becomes reality, these Crown territories will have to get used to new rules made by the British withdrawal from the European Union. British territories could get separate deals with the European Union in order to safeguard their economic prosperity and keep their special relationship with neighbouring E.U. members. Some British Overseas Territories and Dependencies are unclear about their social and economic future if Brexit ever happens. (Full Story)
Donald Trump - Kim Jong-un Failed Summit : An Assessment
The second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un aimed to achieve the dismantlement of North Korea's military nuclear infrastructure in return for sanctions relief, but ended abruptly, with no joint document or statement of the two leaders. Most likely the Hanoi experience does not portend derailment of the US-North Korea process, at least for now, and both sides apparently still have an interest to continue cooperation. At the same time, the US and North Korea will find it extremely difficult to resolve a basic contradiction regarding denuclearization. (Full Story)

Accommodating Bedfellows: Montreal's Jewish Community and Quebec's Intellectual Elite

Montreal Jews rely on non-Jewish academics, writers and filmmakers to present and even explain, in French, Jewish realities to the Quebecois public and within Francophone academia. The considerable number of publications on Jewish themes, both in fiction and non-fiction, written in French by non-Jews is certainly unequaled in the Francophone world and most likely in the West, contends writer Victor Teboul. But do these works encourage or dissuade critical assessment of Quebec and of Quebec–Jewish relations, asks Tolerance.ca's editor, whose most recent book also questions Quebecois identity.

Israel's objective must be to ease the humanitarian plight in the Gaza Strip
By Kim Lavi and Udi Deke
In the most recent escalation between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the message conveyed by both parties was that they are not interested in paying the price of a war that will ultimately return them to square one. At the same time, neither wants to allow the other to score success or to appear as if it is conducting negotiations with the enemy. Thus, in the Palestinian arena, Israel should give priority to its long term interests at the expense of its short term interests that focus on achieving calm in the area. It is preferable for Israel that the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip be conducted by means of the Palestinian Authority, so that the PA, and not Hamas, reaps the fruits of reconstruction in the eyes of the Palestinian public.

Midterms Follow a Traditional Pattern in US Elections

Netanyahu-Modi Bromance Continues At Israel Elections
Posted on: August 3, 2019 by: Deshvidesh
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party has put banners featuring Narendra Modi and Donald Trump. The banners have come ahead of the unprecedented snap polls on September 17. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been featured in the banners along with India and American heads.
Netanyahu's closeness with the three world leaders have been making news since last year and can be an effective way to lure support and votes from the masses. The headquarters of Likud party in Metzudat Ze'ev 38, King George Street, in Tel Aviv said that Netanyahu is in a totally "different league" where he sets a well-diversified example of leadership mingling with the best of state leaders.
Israel's Prime Minister will be coming to India on his one- day-long visit to meet the host PM on coming September 9. The meeting will be just prior eight days before the repeat polls in the Jewish state. Netanyahu created history by becoming the longest-serving Israeli Prime Minister in the history of the country. He surpassed Israel's first premier David Ben-Gurion on July 20. But presently, he is facing a tough political challenge as opinion polls show flagging fortunes for his ruling Likud party.
It will be really interesting to see whether his Government comes back or not, as Netanyahu is trying head-to-toe for ensuring his audience.

Q: Best way to read data from AD and insert in a list in Office 365 What is the best way to read data such as name, email, designation, department, etc. from AD and insert in a SharePoint list in Office 365?
Is there some kind of event available which will fire when a new record is inserted in AD. So let's say is Person A is inserted, that code will run and insert data in list?
OR
We can make some kind of job that will read AD, let's say every one hour and sync it with our list?
OR
Configure User Profile Service that will sync all data with AD at regular intervals. And then we can have some kind of job which will read all user data from UPS and sync with list?
Speaking of job, what kind of job can we write in SharePoint online? Because in case of on-premise we can create timer job but I guess here it is not possible.

A: You would setup DirSync from your AD to the cloud. That will make the data available in SPO.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-directory-synchronization-for-Office-365-1b3b5318-6977-42ed-b5c7-96fa74b08846
[edit:]
If you want to go the job route, you have to consider that options for running jobs in O365 are rather limited. You need to have a place where you can run them, and there isn't much support in O365 to run regular jobs. So you need to execute them on a host you own. Since you want to sync from your AD you would most likely be a server onprem. You could use CSOM or rest to upload the data, but I would try to prevent this since there is already a working user sync in place, and I would just try to utilize that one as much as possible.
Possible option I can think of are a list with a person field in it, or creating a linked list to the user info list and enrich that list with some extra fields for you to manipulate. But this would not fill the list on changes in your AD... For that you could use an external job that pushes that information up there... But I am very hesitant to rebuild a user sync since there is already one in O365 and having more than one version of the "truth" will lead to customer questions
Ok...
This stuff needs to run onprem since you need to access your AD to retrieve the users.
Try this pseudo Powershell to get the new users:
$timestamp= ((Get-Date).AddDays(-1)).Date
Get-ADUser -Filter {whenCreated -ge $timestamp} -Properties whenCreated
I would save the last run and use that timestamp.
Then use CSOM or REST to add those entries to the list.

A: You can retrieve User Profile Properties using CSOM with PowerShell and export to csv:
#Specify tenant admin and URL
$User = "admin@tenant.onmicrosoft.com"
#Configure Site URL and User
$SiteURL = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
    Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.dll"
    $Password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your password" -AsSecureString
    $Creds = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User,$Password)
    #Bind to Site Collection
    $Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
    $Context.Credentials = $Creds
    #Identify users in the Site Collection
    $Users = $Context.Web.SiteUsers
    $Context.Load($Users)
    $Context.ExecuteQuery()
    #Create People Manager object to retrieve profile data
    $PeopleManager = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.PeopleManager($Context)
    Foreach ($User in $Users)
        {
        $UserProfile = $PeopleManager.GetPropertiesFor($User.LoginName)
        $Context.Load($UserProfile)
        $Context.ExecuteQuery()
        If ($UserProfile.Email -ne $null)
            {
            Write-Host "User:" $User.LoginName -ForegroundColor Green
            $UserProfile.UserProfileProperties
            Write-Host ""
            }
        }

Is Williams Companies stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Williams Companies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Williams Companies's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Williams Companies's P/E ratio
Williams Companies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Williams Companies shares trade at around 19x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Williams Companies's PEG ratio
Williams Companies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5454. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Williams Companies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Williams Companies's EBITDA
Williams Companies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.9 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Williams Companies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Williams Companies's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Williams Companies.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Williams Companies's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 28
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Williams Companies's overall score of 28 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 40th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Williams Companies is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Williams Companies's environmental score
Environmental score: 17.62/100
Williams Companies's environmental score of 17.62 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Williams Companies is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Williams Companies's social score
Social score: 11.06/100
Williams Companies's social score of 11.06 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Williams Companies is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Williams Companies's governance score
Governance score: 8.81/100
Williams Companies's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Williams Companies is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Williams Companies's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Williams Companies scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Williams Companies has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

Williams Companies share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 111.84% of net profits
Recently Williams Companies has paid out, on average, around 111.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Williams Companies shareholders could enjoy a 5.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Williams Companies's case, that would currently equate to about $1.685 per share.
Williams Companies's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Williams Companies's most recent dividend payout was on 25 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Williams Companies's shares ever split?
Williams Companies's shares were split on a 10000:8152 basis on 2 January 2012. So if you had owned 8152 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Williams Companies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 18.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Williams Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Williams Companies's share price.
Williams Companies share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Williams Companies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.5219 up to $36.5941. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
WMB.US volatility(beta: 1.25)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Williams Companies's is 1.2487. This would suggest that Williams Companies's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

"I stayed home to get away from trouble and then trouble came to my neighborhood," said a witness, who asked to remain anonymous.
EUGENE, Ore. -- Police said 37-year-old Andrew Dingwall of Walton was arrested and taken to the hospital after a crash late Saturday night.
According to police, Dingwall crashed his four-door Lexus in a yard on the northwest corner of Lorane Highway and Washington Street. They say the car went through a wooden fence and into an unoccupied camp trailer. They say it also damaged an RV parking area.
Shortly after police say Dingwall crashed into a yard, they say a woman reported a man got into the passenger side of her SUV while she was in it and grabbed her.
According to police, she was able to get free and out of the vehicle and the suspect drove off in it.
The vehicle failed to negotiate a turn and drove through shrubbery and off an embankment, where it rolled several times in the 2800 block of Washington Street.
Officers located it and Dingwall. They say he was conscious but injured. They say he was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
"This town has just gone way downhill and it's something I've been saying for this last year," the witness said. "It's terrible this stuff happens, but it's been happening every day now."
Dingwall was charged with DUII, Reckless Driving, Harassment, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, and Unlawful Use of a Vehicle.

of religious reality and life, people can hang on to their religious belief. The early pentecostal movement emerged from this background, but stressed, in addition, the experience of the Holy Spirit. Most Pentecostal churches withdrew from secular society and demanded that their members withdraw from contacts with the movies, plays, and other expressions of materialistic culture. This attitude is similar to Islam's emphasis on the book and not unlike the fundamentalist movement throughout Islam.
Spangler notes that psychic phenomena are a common occurrence in the New Age movement, but that they are not central to the coming of the New Age. When psychic events are seen as the primary proof of the validity of a guru or group, we are in dangerous territory. Likewise, when psychic phenomena are cited as proof positive of the presence of the demonic, as is often done in fundamentalism, an equally dangerous closed mindedness ensues.
Psychic events happen in people's lives. They are reported in the New Testament in various places. For example, when the angel Gabriel appears to Mary, when Joseph is told in a dream to flee to Egypt, and when Saul is knocked to the ground on the road to Damascus and hears Jesus crying out to him, Christians believe that God is acting in a powerful way and to significant ends. One would expect modern Christians not to deny God the same power to break into our own lives. Tragically, this is what many of us do. We ignore our dreams. We ignore the strange opportunities that life presents us to show compassion to our fellow beings.
I also regard as bewildering, profoundly unfaithful and wholly unacceptable the "fundamentalism" that condemns as outside the scope of transcendent grace what it cannot conform to its own point of view. This is not obedience but paranoia. How ironic that many Christian fundamentalists undermine the very notion of a loving God that lies at the heart of Christian faith, as such Muslim fundamentalists also do of the One who is the compassionate, the merciful; and so on – all religions have their zealots, who are more interested in causes (usually imperfectly understood) than people. Yet I would maintain that religions should be about people in relation to each other, and about people in awe before transcendent and universal goodness and graciousness that breaks through this imperfect world and lights it up.

Media: Press Releases | 3 July 2018
Hogan Lovells welcomes new Regional Chief Executive for the Asia Pacific Middle East region
3 July 2018 – Hogan Lovells announced today that Miguel Zaldivar is the new Regional Chief Executive for the Asia Pacific Middle East region effective 1 July 2018. He replaces Patrick Sherrington, who recently retired and held the role since 2013.
Zaldivar, who recently relocated from the U.S. to Hong Kong, served as a member of the firm's Global Board of Directors, co-head of the Infrastructure, Energy, Resources and Projects (IERP) practice globally and in the past co-led the firm's Latin American practice group. He is a corporate transactional and project finance lawyer with extensive experience working on complex cross-border matters, including a significant amount of work between Latin America and China, Japan, South East Asia, and the Middle East. He has many years of hands-on experience with global export-credit and development banks, including China Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank of China, Japan Bank of International Cooperation, IFC, Russia's Eximbank, and the European Investment Bank.
"Miguel is an accomplished international lawyer who has worked on a wide variety of infrastructure and energy matters across the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia. The appointment of an experienced and respected firm leader like Miguel reflects the critical importance of Asia for our firm," said Hogan Lovells CEO Stephen Immelt. "His detailed understanding of our practices in the Americas should be useful in deepening those connections with Asia."
The Asia Pacific and Middle East region is of strategic importance to Hogan Lovells and the firm's clients. Across the region the firm has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Sydney, Perth, and Dubai. The firm has associated offices in Jakarta, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, and Riyadh. In 2018, the firm was recognized by the FT Innovative Lawyers awards as one of the most innovative law firms in Asia Pacific.
Miguel earned an LLB from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Venezuela, an LLM from the University of Illinois as a Fulbright scholar, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Miami. He is admitted to practice law in New York, Washington D.C., Florida, and Venezuela, and is registered as a foreign lawyer with the Law Society of Hong Kong.

I'm working with a client that has just rewritten their website. The content is very readable and approachable. It should be quite effective … if they can get their prospects to find the site.
The company has also provided me with a list of the SEO keywords they are targeting, which today are found nowhere on the website. They realize this, of course, and have a strategy for creating landing pages and content, and eventually all should be well.
But this situation brought to me the eternal dilemma that writers have, particularly when writing business websites: how do we write for SEO while trying to write in a persuasive, conversational tone that people will actually read?
Do we optimize for humans or machines?
Of course the answer must be both – there's no point in creating a site just for SEO, at least in technology marketing. You want conversions, and for that you need effective content. Quality comes first.
But if you carefully avoid the industry standard terms – the ones that people might use when they already understand the problem and are searching for a solution – then you lose important organic search opportunities. So you need to strike a balance.
Are your SEO keywords too esoteric?
Sometimes the only SEO keywords are the buzzwords. If people might search for your solutions using other terms, you should consider including them on your list. If you only optimize for the big industry buzzwords – the ones your competitors are targeting as well – competition can be fierce.
Put the keywords where they count: Use the keywords in the headings/links, but the alternative (conversational) phrasing in the text.
Give the writer the keywords up front: Knowing the keywords right off the bat, the writer can be more creative about working them into the text without necessarily creating droning, jargon-filled content.
Create separate landing pages for SEO keywords: Keep your conversion pages exactly as you want them, targeted for optimal conversions, and then drive people to those pages through highly keyword-optimized landing pages.
Find out-of-stream places to put the SEO terms: For example, find customer or analyst quotes that use the terms, and include those on your pages (with permission, of course).
How about you – do you have any other techniques or strategies for balancing SEO in website copy? I'd love to hear them! I'll compile if I get some good ones!
Other reading: If you're interested, Kristi Hines wrote a great post on SEO copywriting.
Wonderful post, Anne. I have a client with a nice website that is very difficult to find, partially because the URL (and their name) contains a phrase shared by many other organizations with much higher rankings. I was just about to have a talk with them about keywords!
Thanks, Claire. Choosing just the right keywords is never easy, is it? As with anything else, you've got to find the right niche.

The Daily Times
Pizza lovers rejoice. Maya Bella's Pizzeria is expanding and it involves a pizza drive-thru.
The Salisbury restaurant is planning to open its new location, Maya Bella's Pizza and Wings, on Nov. 1. The new building, located at 1000 W. Isabella St., is aiming to provide customers quality food with fast service through carry out and a drive-thru.
"We're actually going to be offering a drive-thru here, which is unknown to Salisbury for pizza," said Sean Shockley, general manager.
Shockley said the new eatery was a collaborative effort between Darron Whitehead, Randy Walston, Dave Biermen and Matthew Thompson. The group wanted to provide customers a new Maya Bella's dining experience and use a restaurant space in Salisbury that has seen constant change.
"We're looking to put something here that has some value," Shockley said.
Renovating the existing space has taken work to make it what they want. Shockley said customers can expect a fully operational drive-thru line for quick pickup, a small waiting area for carry out and an extensive kitchen space.
"We're not going to have everything that we have downtown. This is more about let's get people through this drive-thru," he said.
He said the business doesn't want traffic to back up and expedited service is key.
But, that doesn't mean the menu will be limited. Customers can expect Maya Bella's well-known pizza, along with, jumbo wings, sub sandwiches and French fries. There will also be pizza specials throughout the week including the $5 special known at the downtown location and an $8, 16-inch carryout pizza special, Shockley said.
The new location will also deliver to Hebron and the greater Salisbury area, Shockley said. While it could expand, the restaurant is currently looking at about a seven-mile radius for delivery.
"I'm hoping we see people getting off work (and) coming through here," he said.

Austin, Texas (United States)
Sighted on Tuesday 07. January 2020
Reported on Tuesday 07. January 2020
Shape: Other | Duration: 02:00:00
I have several videos, including many when they randomly change direction without me moving, darting from up in space down to our level in less than a second. they were organizing getting home. flashed lights to others who were obviously telling them to get into a structured line for however the hell those orbs were able to do it. they were discreet. my phone alone did not catch the response flashes and i honestly didn't see them. i kept thinking they were just getting out of my sight... but each time the lights flashed i lost my sight of the object and it seemed difficult to find. after awhile a bright white one started doing this wigging out thing and another light would kinda nervously get near it. like an older kid trusting his brother to catch him in a trust fall, but oddly playful before the two would seem to ... warp translucent like and one would disappear. i didn't know that then. to be perfectly honest i thought i just couldn't spot them anymore because i looked away or moved the camera. but airplay tv showed another story several times. they were nice visitors who left in an orderly fashion. i do know a lot from watching, but y'all can see if you want more than just three. thanks!

Learning is multifaceted. Some forms of learning, like learning to ride a bike for instance, are immediate and observable. But other forms of learning – including learning complex curriculum content in an academic setting – are neither of these things. The immediate demonstration of knowledge, understanding or skill can be a mere performance, mimicry rather than mastery, which is a poor proxy for learning.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with mimicry if it helps a pupil pass a test and get a qualification, but assuming we want to do more than "teach to the test", and assuming we regard education as something meaningful and life-long, a way of becoming an engaged and active citizen, and an inquisitive, cultured adult, then surely we must aim to move beyond mimicry and towards mastery?
We must, therefore, teach in such a way as to ensure our pupils not only acquire new knowledge, understanding and skills but can apply them at a later time and in a range of different contexts.
The process by which we achieve this long-term, transferable learning involves an interaction between our pupils' sensory memories and their long-term memories. The sensory memory is made up of: what pupils see (their iconic memory), what they hear (echoic memory), and what they touch (haptic memory). Pupils' long-term memory is where information is stored and from which it can later be recalled when needed, but they cannot directly access the information stored in their long-term memories. As such, the interaction between their sensory memories and their long-term memories, which is the heart of deep learning, occurs in their working memories – the only place where they can think and do.
1. Create a positive learning environment in order to stimulate sensory memory.
2. Make pupils think hard but efficiently in order to gain the attention of – but cheat – working memory.
3. Plan for deliberate practice in order to improve storage in, and retrieval from, long-term memory.
This new one-day course explains how to do just that. It combines the latest theories from the field of cognitive science with practical advice – informed by classroom experience – for lesson planning and delivery.
How to Learn is running as an open course in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds in the spring term of 2018. It can also be delivered in your school.

On paper, North Carolina's roads should be safe from distracted driving. There are laws on the books that ban both hand-held cell phone use and texting behind the wheel. Unfortunately, state troopers report that both of those laws are nearly impossible to enforce given limited resources and a difficulty "catching" drivers breaking the law given how easy it is to just toss a cell phone aside once a police officer hits the lights and sirens. Drivers are also using a loophole in the way to avoid punishment for texting, claiming that they are simply dialing a number on their cellphone, an action that is technically legal. A recent investigation by Charlotte's own WSOC news team brought the issue of distracted driving back into the spotlight by showing lawmakers and the public firsthand what police go through as they try to keep the streets safe from distracted drivers. It has prompted some state legislators to take a second look at the laws.
Regardless of whether a distraction is old-fashioned or new-fangled, the result is the same: distracted driving is deadly driving. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motor vehicle accident involving a distracted driver, you probably have many questions. You are likely worried about getting the medical care you need, paying for car repairs and replacing the wages you are missing while you recover. To get the answers you seek, consult an experienced personal injury attorney in your area to learn more about your legal rights and options you have to hold the responsible parties accountable.


This is a cute and easy project if you are looking for a quick to make table or shelf decoration for Easter. One idea would be to create a set of these and use them as decoration for an Easter brunch table. Instead of "Happy Easter" you can write the names of each guest on the card and place one at each setting. Older children can help make these but caution is recommended when using the hot glue gun.
1. Cut a piece of white corrugated cardboard to the size of 15 cm x 15 cm.
2. Roll the cardboard into a tube like form and overlap the beginning over the end and glue together with the tacky glue. You may choose to use paper-clips to hold the ends together until they are dry.
3. Design a face onto the egg. Using the size 0 brush, dot 2 eyes with black acrylic paint using the other end of the paint brush, clean the end then dot a red nose. Using the paint brush end, make a small line for the mouth.
4. Using the bristle paint brush, dry brush red paint on for rosy cheeks.
5. Make a bow out of the checked ribbon and lay aside.
6. Print out the patterns so that the ear is the measured size on the pattern (5.5 cm). Transfer 2 ears and 2 hands on white cardstock. Transfer the sign onto tan cardstock.
7. Cut out the sign and write "Happy Easter" on it using a red marker.
8. Glue the hands onto the top of the sign.
9. Fold the bottom of the ears slightly at the bottom and glue close. Use a paper clip to hold each one in place until the glue is dry.
10. Attach the ears to the egg with hot glue.
11. Hot glue the head into the top of the tube.
12. Hot glue the ribbon onto the tube.
13. Attach the sign with a piece of foam tape or hot glue it to the tube.

Cruise ships are finally back in Quintana Roo
Photo: Courtesy
Cruise tourism is being reactivated in Quintana Roo with health protection measures coordinated by state authorities. After 15 months of inactivity in cruise tourism, last June the arrival of cruise ships to the ports of Cozumel and Puerta Maya in Mahahual was reactivated.
For the reactivation of this tourist activity and the economy related to it, state and municipal authorities of Cozumel and Costa Maya, the CPTQ, SEDETUR, and GLOBAL NEXUS held meetings for the review and use of safety and hygiene protocols for cruise ships and service providers in ports.
Regarding the measures for the vessels, those that have arrived at the ports of Quintana Roo sail with a vaccinated crew and with at least 95% of the adult passengers with a complete vaccination scheme against Covid-19.
With regard to service providers, the Ministry of Tourism put into operation the Protocols for the Certification of Health Protection and Prevention in Tourist Facilities (CPPSIT).
Additionally, in September 2020 Quintana Roo published a protocol for cruise destinations that allowed the arrival of cruise ships to Cozumel and Mahahual last June.
These measures are intended to keep the tourist health bubble intact and to comply with safety and hygiene protocols from the moment passengers board.
So far, the cruise ships that have arrived at the ports carry approximately 3,000 passengers, which is around 30 percent of their total capacity.
All have 100 percent of the crew vaccinated and the majority of passengers of eligible age are also vaccinated.
SEDETUR continues with the accompaniment days to integrate more tourism service providers to the Certification in Protection and Sanitary Prevention in Tourist Facilities.
The protocols aim for the local tourism to benefit from the reactivation of the cruise sector; all part of the prevention program promoted by Governor Carlos Joaquín to protect the integrity of the people while advancing the economic recovery of the state.
Although the frequency of cruises arrivals may change according to the epidemiological situation and the sanitary provisions of the country of origin, cruises are scheduled and programmed in Cozumel and Costa Maya from August to November, all of them coming from the United States.

Order the uncensored 4K UHD Blu-ray
Chinese DVD
Release: Mar 17, 2019 - Author: Mike Lowrey - Translator: Mike Lowrey - external link: IMDB
Blade Runner 2049 – An accomplished sequel to a timeless classic
From the start, Blade Runner 2049 was a risky venture for everyone involved, as the first Blade Runner is an undisputed milestone in sci-fi film history that is still admired by fans today. But director Ridley Scott has always been tempted to dive back into that universe and make another film, even though many cinephiles were alarmed when they thought of Scott's continuation of the Alien series he once created. With Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, the grandmaster set out to explain and demystify that universe, which had always been accompanied by some unsolved mysterious questions that left fans wondering and creating their own answers.
It was ultimately the work on Alien: Covenant that overlapped with the production of Blade Runner 2049 and prevented Scott from directing it himself. In his place, Denis Villeneuve took the seat on the director's chair. The Canadian, who proved his enormous sense for atmospheric material and a hypnotic narrative style with Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival, among others, proved to be the ideal choice here. He directs Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Jared Leto, Ana de Armas and the rest of the cast through a melancholic story about the meaning of life and the definition of humanity, which nevertheless always remains accessible. Embedded in a powerful visual language and a running time of two and a half hours, Villeneuve calls Blade Runner 2049 the most expensive arthouse film in cinema history. He is right and it's beautiful that something like this still exists today.
Blade Runner 2049 with censored nudity for China, India and Turkey
In the run-up to the production, it was announced to the general relief of the fans that the film would be conceived with an R rating in mind, so no compromises would be made in favor of the more mainstream-appealing PG-13 rating. With a budget of 150 million Dollars, this was already a clear concession to art, because Blade Runner 2049 was only able to collect 92 million Dollars at the US box office, worldwide the whole theatrical run added up to 259 million Dollars.
But not every country was unaffected by censorship. Sony Pictures also produced a version of the film, partly in anticipatory obedience, which does omit almost any nudity. For example, film critics in Turkey reacted rather angrily to this circumstance and did not like Sony's argument that they wanted to take the local culture into consideration. The critics, on the other hand, found it disrespectful towards that very culture and the Turkish cinemagoers that Sony believed they couldn't deal with it. According to the IMDb, this version was also used in India and in China and it also found its way onto home cinema media. The fact that the Chinese market is susceptible to censored Hollywood blockbusters was impressively demonstrated by the case of Logan, as our report shows.
The censored Chinese DVD was compared to the uncut German Blu-ray (both by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment).
19 differences, consisting of
15 scenes with alternative images
4 cuts
The original version runs 102.06 seconds or approx. 1 minute 42 seconds longer than the China version.
Alternate material
0:23:46: The naked male corpses that lie on the dissection tables are zoomed in strongly in the China version.
No time difference
Chinese Version Original Version
0:32:44: As K and Luv go down the stairs, you see naked Replicant prototypes on the sides. The China version zooms in here and then cuts the rest of the shot. Why? Because two naked figures appear behind K, which even with the Chinese superzoom could hardly be made unrecognizable without removing K completely from the picture. Also missing is how he looks at a model that is very similar to Sapper Morton.
6,56 sec.
0:38:09: The Chinese like to zoom. When the new model falls out of the "plastic bag" and it's naked, Chinese viewers barely see that. Even as Wallace approaches and touches it, the image is immensely zoomed in the China version. The end of the shot is also shortened.
0:40:04: Not only was the camera shot zoomed in, but the camera movement on the naked model was also shortened. This also means that some of Wallace's monologue is lost: "[We make angels] in the service of civilization. Yes, they were bad angels once, I make good angels now."
0:40:50: The naked model stands in front of Wallace. In China, they zoomed it in so much that you can only see Wallace.
0:41:15: Wallace stands up and touches the model. In China, they zoomed in again.
0:41:37: A zoom is used as Wallace stabs.
0:42:16: It is zoomed as Wallace speaks to Luv and the model stands behind him.
0:42:27: Zoom as the model falls to the ground.
0:43:54: Interesting. Sex, which is hinted at in the background as a shadow play, is also missing in the China version and this time in a digital way. In addition to that, there was some zooming so that the prostitutes on the left are not in the picture. This happens throughout the whole scene, including the shot in the corridor. Moreover, in the China version, the shot of Mariette walking was somewhat shortened, but without any clear reason. The erotic gestures in the background were digitally removed, as well.
1:30:56: The naked Mariette gets up from the bed and walks through the room. Also, the next shot, in which she puts on her bra again, is missing, although there are no bare breasts to be seen.
1:36:23: Wow. Even the shot of a large female statue with breasts was completely cut in the China version.
1:37:18: And another view of "naked" female statues was removed.

1:40:57: The camera slowly moves down between two female statues and you can see their bare breasts. The Chinese version zooms first and then cuts early. It sets in again as K looks at the beetle on his hand.

1:42:09: When K looks up from the beehive, the contour of the naked female statue can be seen in the background. Not in the China version, though.

2:16:57: Once again the naked JOI hologram has been cut so that the revealing shots can't be seen.

2:17:15: Here, the China version zooms in again.
2:17:33: And another cut when you can clearly see JOI's breasts. She stands up and the view changes to K, who is in front of the display where the naked JOI stands. Here, the China version zooms in now.
