ONS: One of 11 mothers is now a stay-at-home mum
By Helen Carroll for the Daily Mail
Published: 17:52 EST, 12 December 2017 | Updated: 18:27 EST, 12..
Just one out of every 11 mothers is now a stay-at-home mum, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics.
The decline of the traditional housewife and the rise of the working mother has been one of the major societal shifts of the past 50 years.
While in the Sixties, the majority of mothers did not have paid jobs, by 1997, 2.5 million women (13.5 per cent) were full-time mums.
Today, just 1.86 million (nine per cent) of mothers choose not to work outside the home.
Here, we speak to 11 mums, from Ely, Cambridgeshire, who all have children at the same primary school. In a reflection of the national picture, only one of them is not working. So how do they all feel about their roles in society? Helen Carroll investigates . . .
1: I hope I'm a good role model for my children
Karen Thorpe, 44, works four days a week as a communications manager. She lives with husband Andy, 47, a secondary school assistant principal, and children Lily, ten, and Mackenzie, seven. Karen says:

Occasionally, when I'm having a frantic week in the office, or I have to miss a school event, I think how nice it would be not to work.
But I think it's important for my children to see their mother pursuing a career and earning money. When I was in my teens, my mother got a job in Waitrose. She wishes she'd worked sooner — back then, women were expected to stay at home with their children.
Having two wages doesn't give us a lavish lifestyle, it just means we don't worry about money so much and can enjoy the odd foreign holiday.
The children go to after-school club on the days I work and do lots of activities they enjoy, including Beavers, Brownies, tap dancing, football and theatre club.
2: Working means I feel like 'me' again
Lina Karpiniene, 36, works full-time as a processing administrator at Cambridge University Hospital. She lives with husband Ed, 37, a delivery driver, and children Mia, ten, and Oskar, four. Lina says:

I used to work part-time at a local supermarket, as I couldn't fit anything more demanding around having a pre-schooler.
However, when my youngest started school I took on a full-time job at our local hospital. I feel so fulfilled and 'myself' again.
There are things I miss, such as taking my children to swimming lessons, but I did it for years, and it's my husband's turn now.
Ed and I have always shared the chores. He gets home before me, so he cooks most evenings.
Weekends are taken up with cleaning, shopping and staying on top of things, which I think is the case for most working parents. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
3: I just hate having to leave my boys
Kate Swan, 41, is pictured with sons Adam, seven, and Oli, five
Kate Swan, 41, works two days a week as a local authority leasehold services contractor. She lives with her husband Craig, 44, a technical engineer, and sons Adam, seven, and Oli, five. Kate says:
I took three years off when my sons were babies — we were told we wouldn't be able to have children, so I wanted to savour every moment — and went back part-time to my old job two years ago.
It was really hard because, on top of the sadness I felt leaving the boys with a childminder, I also felt far less confident in my workplace. But we needed the extra income.
It's difficult trying to cram all my work into two days. And I still have a bit of guilt at not being there to pick the boys up from school!
There should be more financial help for parents of pre-schoolers, which would give families the option for one parent to stay at home. Ideally, I'd be at home full-time, but who can afford that luxury these days?
4: I can't afford to be a full-time mum
Lauren Dawson, 33, works four days a week as a pharmacy technician. She lives with husband Simon, 39, an electrical engineer, and children Khloe, six, and Lili, two, and is expecting her third child next spring. Lauren says:
Lauren Dawson, 33, lives with husband Simon, 39, an electrical engineer, and children Khloe, six, and Lili, two
During school holidays, I envy full-time mums. They're having days out with their kids while mine are with a childminder.
Even two incomes don't stretch to luxuries. We live in a four-bedroom semi, drive old cars and haven't been abroad for years.
My mum worked full-time, in admin, so I always imagined I'd work after having children — but I hoped the balance would be more weighted towards time at home.
Everything we do has to fit into my three days off, from swimming lessons to visiting family. We try to do chores when the girls are asleep, but it's not always possible.
I don't expect the Government to pay me to stay at home, but if childcare was subsidised I could work three days a week, which would be the perfect balance.
We've talked about me working full-time, so we could have a bit more coming in, but I cherish my one day at home with the girls. I wish there were more of them.
5: What would I do if I didn't work?
Linzee Kottman, 38, is a PR consultant who works 30 to 40 hours a week. She lives with husband Tobie, 38, a regional sales director, and their children Ruben, 11, and Naiomi, six. Linzee says:

My work ethic comes from my parents — they were both great role models. They each retrained when I started secondary school. My dad went from being a welder to a social worker and Mum from selling clothes to being a lecturer.
After they qualified, we moved to a nice area and got a new car. It showed that, with hard work and a good attitude, it's possible to make a better life for yourself.
A few years ago we moved from a flat to a four-bedroom house. That wouldn't have been possible without two incomes.
Because of my upbringing, it never occurred to me that I wouldn't go back to work after taking a year's maternity leave. And, now they're at school, if I wasn't working, what would I do between 9am and 3pm each day?
6: Working is better than housework
Rachel Haynes, 36, is pictured with children Daniel, 11, Levi, nine, Kiera, seven, and Nieve, two
Rachel Haynes, 36, works as a music teacher three days a week. She lives with husband Stephen, 43, a sales manager, and children Daniel, 11, Levi, nine, Kiera, seven, and Nieve, two. Rachel says:
It's easier meeting all my children's needs doing part-time hours — I'm always there for pick-ups and drop-offs, which is important to me. I'm not highly paid, but I have a passion for helping children learn to play the piano, and we're lucky that my husband has a good income.
Stephen and I share the cooking and cleaning between us. He would never come in, like many husbands used to do, and just plonk himself on the sofa for the evening.
We're a team, and that works well for both of us.
7: It's lonely as the last one standing!
Leyla Newling, 40, was a fund administrator and is now stay-at-home mum to Amelie, 11, Mia, eight, and Eliza, three. Her husband Jay, 43, is an aircraft engineer. Leyla says:
Leyla Newling, 40, is now stay-at-home mum to Amelie, 11, Mia, eight, and Eliza, three
There's so much to do as a mother — washing, cooking, cleaning, spending time with my daughters — I often wonder how those who also work fit it all in.
I went back to my old job one day a week for a while after my eldest was born, but felt guilty about the time away from her, so when I was made redundant I didn't look for another position.
Still, I do sometimes envy my friends their careers, instead of spending every day looking after everyone else's needs as I do. Anyone who imagines full-time mums are swanning off to the gym and for lunch doesn't know how demanding it is with three kids, one of whom isn't yet at full-time school.
I think working parents often assume the stay-at-home ones will run things like school committees. I have been having treatment for breast cancer for a year, so I only volunteer occasionally.
When Eliza starts reception class, that will be the first time in 11 years I'll have whole days at home without any children. I might take on some book-keeping and accountancy work.
My only concern is that I might be lonely — there aren't many of us stay-at-home mums left!
8: Our grandparents make it all possible
Katie Barry, 36, works four days a week as a health and safety adviser. She lives with husband Paul, 34, a financial adviser, and sons Daniel, six, and Owen, three. Katie says:
I love spending time with my boys, but I also really enjoy the challenge of work.
If I didn't, we wouldn't be able to afford the extra pleasures in life, but I do feel guilty sometimes, especially when one of my children is unwell, and I have to leave them with Grandma.
Without the support of my parents and in-laws, I wouldn't be able to work as much as I do.
My husband is also a very hands-on dad and we share the chores.
I'm not at all surprised to hear the statistics bear out what I've long observed among my friends — the vast majority of mothers now work. It's so very different from a generation ago.
The cost of living is so high that very few families can manage on only one wage.
9: I hate not being there at bedtime
Kelly Parker, 42, is pictured with Olivia, ten, Raffaella, six, and Isabella, two
Kelly Parker, 42, works 20 hours a week as a mental health nurse. She's married to Mike, 44, a teacher, and they have Olivia, ten, Raffaella, six, and Isabella, two. Kelly says:
I cram 20 hours' work into two days to save £50 a week in childcare costs. It's tough not getting home until after the girls have gone to bed, but needs must.
We have spreadsheets to keep track of all our outgoings and, although we have a nice four-bedroom detached house, luxuries, like takeaways, are rare.
Sometimes, when I'm particularly tired I think: 'What would I give not to have to go to work?' But I'm pretty sure I'd go a bit mad if I was at home all the time.
I'm probably one of the lucky ones because I get a balance between home and work.
10: I'd miss the adult company at home
Claire Mooney, 41, works full-time as a district catering assistant in primary schools. She lives with husband Derek, 42, a survey technician, and daughter Leni, six. Claire says:

I went back to work when Leni was ten months old and felt terribly guilty. I was able to leave her with my mother-in-law and my sister, but I would have taken longer off if I'd had a better maternity package.
But, once Leni started school, I was glad I'd kept my job going.
I only work during term time and school hours, so I get to see my daughter as much as if I was a stay-at-home mother.
At home I do the shopping, cook all of our meals, plus the cleaning, because I don't work as many hours as my husband.
The majority of mums I know have jobs, which is a change from our mothers' generation. My mum didn't go back to work until I was about ten.
11: I'm torn between two worlds
Amanda Slater, 43, is pictured with Poppy, 11, Jessie, six, and Max, three
Amanda Slater, 43, works three days a week as a learning and development trainer. She lives with Simon, 44, a sales executive, and their children Poppy, 11, Jessie, six, and Max, three. Amanda says:
With three children, it's a juggle keeping on top of everything at home, plus working. But I enjoy the dimension to my life that my job provides. I'm not just a mum — I have skills that are valued.
However, I often feel torn between being the best mum I can and earning money, as we do need both incomes. It's something I know a lot of other mums feel too.
My mum worked part-time and was always at home after school, which is maybe why it's important to me to be around as much as possible for mine.
I do sometimes envy stay-at-home mums and wonder if they have it easier, but I'll never know.

Every Thursday, come rain or shine, you will see a group of people walking along the Khao Takiab beach picking up discarded bottles, cigarette butts and plastic bags. These are uncelebrated heroes in Hua Hin who call their happy group the Trash Hero and rightly so too! This small community of environmentally conscious people gather voluntarily every Thursday without fail at 3pm to clean up the Khao Takiab Beach. "It was first started by a Swiss gentleman in Koh Lipe in the south of Thailand. He started Trash Hero Thailand about 2 years ago and wanted to do it here in Hua Hin too." Says Pennapa Kradtarn, the founder of the group who works at the Riad Hua Hin Hotel. Pennapa believes that we should give back as much as we take from nature. She expressed the need for individuals to take initiative and clean up after themselves to keep the beaches clean.
The Trash Hero's objectives are to clean up the beaches and public areas as well as to reduce waste , especially plastic waste. They also hope to educate local residents as well as tourists to practice good waste management. She encourages others to join voluntary cleaning events to promote a healthy and clean community environment. Recently on the 6th of June, they had a special clean up session on Saturday where they were joined by friends and volunteers from Bangkok. They removed a whopping 125 kgs of trash consisting mainly of cigarette butts, plastic bags, bottles etc.
The Trash Hero is a purely non-profit, voluntary group and requires no membership or monetary contributions. All they ask for is volunteers to show up on Thursday and start cleaning, or help provide garbage bags or refreshments for the volunteers. Currently, the clean-up events happen only on the Khao Takiab beach but they are hoping to expand to other parts of Hua Hin when they have more volunteers. Trash Hero groups are also active in Ao Nang, Koh Tao and Songkla with plans to expand to Chiang Mai and Indonesia as well.

Magnetic Portals connect the Earth to the Sun
The unanswered mysteries of the Anasazi
The great American southwest is considered by many as a place of extremes, ancient people, spirits and legends that even today, inhabit the region. Thousands of years ago, an ancient culture flourished in the region and left amazing footprints in the sub-American continent, giant cities, dwellings in the cliffs and ceremonial chambers called kivas, were found, and all of them belonged to the Anasazi. Even today, there are people who firmly believe in these stories, and that the spirits of this ancient culture still inhabit the lands.
Today most of the world's population lives in cities surrounded by a man-made environment. But many still believe in another world, full of spirits and ancient magic, a world that can be reached through mystical experiences and legends passed on from generation to generation. But how real are these stories we hear about? The region called "Four Corners" well-known by the confluence of four states: Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico is indigenous to the land of the ancient Anasazi and other great ancient cultures.
Even thought these ancient cultures died long ago, their spirits are still a powerful presence in the region, one that many are able to feel.
In 1897 a rancher looking for cattle that had strayed from a herd, made a surprising discovery: the ancient cliff dwellings in Colorado. The spectacular buildings and artifacts were tangible evidence of an advanced civilization that had lived in the area and disappeared. In the following years, more great discoveries were made as similar structures were found in Utah and Arizona.
The incredible discoveries baffled researchers and historians, buildings that had never before been seen or imagined in the region were found, buildings that support of up to five stories were discovered, something that was considered unusual for todays archaeologists. One of the structures at the archaeological site, which later would be called Pueblo Bonito, contains over 650 rooms.
At Chaco Canyon, researchers discovered a dozen of huge complexes that include more than 300 perfectly circular structures. But just what was their purpose? The walls are covered with paintings and mysterious inscriptions. The discovery of Chaco Canyon is an unprecedented finding in America, researchers firmly believe that nothing found can be compared to the might of Chaco Canyon. Archaeologists were amazed by the wealth of pottery, weapons, tools, jewelry; and every single piece of art found in the vicinity.
Interestingly, 20 million years ago, Chaco Canyon was the center of a large Sea. After the sea withdrew, the only thing that was left was a parched desert. Without water, the primary element for life, how could this ancient civilization have flourished in the region? And most importantly, why would they build their cities in such a "lifeless" place? This is just one of many disturbing mysteries that archaeologists have not been able to answer.
The canyon walls were the primary source of stone for their construction, but, where did the wood come from? According to archaeologists, this incredible engineering process would have needed over 250,000 trees. If you travel to Chaco Canyon today, you will notice an absolutely desolate landscape.
Samples taken from the wood indicate that the material originated form elsewhere in the region, some of the pieces of wood originated from distances of over 50 miles. For the cutting and carving process, the ancient builders only used stone axes. The ancient people of Chaco did not have carts or horses to transport the timber, so how did they transport their building materials?
Archaeologists have placed the Anasazi between 900 and 1250 AD. There is no doubt that the residents of these incredible ancient structures are long gone, but what happened to them? Why did they vanish like many other great civilization in the Americas? Was it a natural disaster that made them leave their home? And if so, where did they go to?
neubarth says:
Not that great of a mystery. The region had ample rainfall at the time the trees were growing. It was only AFTER they build their towns and cities that the land became drought stricken and the people moved away to areas were there was more water.
Patrick Wilson says:
I understand that recent digs have located human fishes that upon further examination contained human DNA. They surmised some may have migrated south into northern Mexico for better conditions and others chose to stay behind which led to cannibalism.
Doc Knowles says:
As I read about these and many other discoveries of the last 50 years or so, I often think that not nearly enough is either known or revealed about the climate and natural environment that existed where these ancient peoples made their homes and villages. In my way of thinking, it would be extremely interesting to know what the climate was like and whether there was an abundance (or lack of) of natural resources that the indigenous people would have relied on to live.
Take, for example, the Sphinx. It is clear that what some geologists say is true, in that in order for the type of weathering that is clearly visible on the Sphinx to have occurred, the climate had to have been extremely wet and rainy and in fact, so much so that the Sphinx had to have been immersed in water for a very long time. A) at what time in the history of that area did such a climate exist? B)how long was that climate dominating the area? C)what would the area have looked like then? etc. An artist's rendition of what that might have looked like would go a long way in creating a picture that the layman could clearly understand. To me, it would be just as useful when we consider the mystery of the Anasazi and those same questions would be useful to know here as well.


Apologies for not updating my blog since I did on the first day of this year. I'm usually in Facebook these days.
One of what I did this year is that I moved out of my house at Fukagawa. The rental contract was expiring in the end of July and I had to choose whether I renewed it to keep living there or terminated it and found a new house. I decided to move into another place. I lived there for four years and was satisfied with the life there, but at the same time I thought I should change my life to change myself.
I found a new house at Oji, about 10km north from the Tokyo's city centre. This neighbourhood is a beautiful area developed in the 14th century, with its fresh verdure and sometimes called "Richmond in Japan" because people in central Tokyo often have made a one-day trip to this area since the Edo Era, similar to holiday-makers in London who visit Richmond.
I removed to the new house with my car in the middle of July. Monthly fees for the house and the garage dropped comparing with the ones at Fukagawa which was closer to the city centre. It's more than three months since the removal, and the new life here is very nice.

Everyday life has been full of games.
In the 80s, children grew up with spiders and marbles. Children in the 90s had slinkys or legos. Today, kids are surrounded by smart phones and iPads.
Games have been an integral part in a person's development for a long time.
Children learn to use games.
Think about all the games you have played as a child.
A brief history of the games, from their inception to their evolution.
Why games are so important for people's growth
The benefits of games in facilitating interactions between groups of people
It was once a time that children could have a happy life.
The education system wasn't as 'important' as it is today. They also had a hunter gather type of education.
Children used to play in mixed age groups after school and the game would often continue into the night.
They could play all weekend and in the summer.
They were able to explore every kind of way and not get bored.
They loved to get into trouble and found ways to escape them.
They were able to read comics, play baseball, and other hobbies.
Over 50 years, the children's play opportunities have been decreasing.
As children had plenty of time to play, the first half century was considered the "golden age" for them.
Parents began to restrict the freedom of children to play outside their homes with other children.
Indoor games became increasingly popular, which ultimately led to a decline in children's freedom.
All people know that human games have a history dating back to ancient times.
Games are a fundamental part of all cultures and have been a key method of social interaction since ancient times.
Games were born out of the idea that play allows us to think more than just in a moment and take physical action.
The usual characteristics of games include doubt about the outcome, settling upon guidelines, competition and setting goals, as well as self-pleasure.
A game can help you capture ideas and world views about a culture and then pass them on to the next generation.
The social and cultural bonding that games provide is very important.
Certain games are common characteristics of court culture. They were created as pursuits for royals and the elite.
Many games, such as the Mesoamerican game and Senet, were infused with mythological and ceremonial religious significance.
The late 70's witnessed a remarkable development in games.
The evolution of internet (packet based computer networking), gave children a new way to interact with other children (children) via online video games.
Online games are the most popular activity of the Gen Z, followed closely by millennials in the 21st Century.
Pokemon Go is the latest avatar in online games.
It's a location-based AR game that can be played free of charge.
It is the most played online game in history.
It is compatible with both Android and iOS mobile platforms.
This online game allows people to communicate and grow their relationships.
Communication can be described as the process of transferring messages between people via multiple channels.
It is the process and policy of communicating the messages that were meant to be passed on.
It is a set of steps that transmits or conveys messages or signs.
These steps are:
Motivation or communicative motivation is the main form of motivation.
Writing the Message
Encoding the message
Transmitting encoded messages as a sequence of signals through a particular medium channel
The quality of signals from one receiver to the other can be affected by noise sources, such as natural forces or human activity.
Reassembling the message encoded in a sequence of signals received and responding to signals
Encoding the message that has been reassembled
Interpretation of the original message was underway
There are two main types of communication.
Verbal communication is the communication that deals with figures of speech.
However, non-verbal communication is the most important and most considered.
Non-verbal communication can include facial expressions, contact with the eyes, body language, gestures, and chronemic communications.
It includes elements such as intonation, stress and tempo.
It develops trust and affects the sub-conscious.
Cues are used mostly in non-verbal communications. They can be trusted to express the messages for other people to interpret, and they can also replace verbal messages completely.
Many online multiplayer redirections encourage correspondence between players. Some even go so far as to ask for it.
For some, it may be essential to make strides in beguilement. Other times, a redirection might be established on contention among players.
Onlinepreoccupations can be enjoyed openly and without the need to make contact with other gamers.
The standard multiplayer redirections provide a wide range of strategies for addressing correspondence.
The lonebeguilement is a way to strengthen correspondence by focusing on substance, image, and sound.
Adiversion can also be used to facilitate collaboration between two individuals and engage in correspondence between wholesocial events and groups.
Humans are social creatures. Therefore, they require interaction and socialcommunication between people.
Humans thrive when they can communicate and interact with others.
Psychologically, people can be divided into three major sections: introverts, ambiverts, and extroverts.
While extroverts can manage their part of interaction in their own way, introverts need to have a set of people who are familiar with the specific requirements and how they want to interact.
This social development socially begins in the third year of a child, and even earlier.
These children can be allowed to play with others and are encouraged to seek out the company of their peer group for proper interaction.
Social interaction and social development are not only spontaneous. Children can learn more about the world of social interaction through games and social skills.
Children of different developmental levels can introduce social concepts through games.
A list of social skillgames that are suitable for all levels of development has been created.
Social Reasons
Social anxiety can be described as a psychological disorder that causes fear or the frightening of social situations. It can also be associated with normal interactions with other people.
This condition can also be caused by negative judgments of others or incorrect evaluations.
Serotonin controls the brain's inclination.
These disarrays can be caused by an overactive amygdala, which is a structure in the brain that controls fear responses and feelings.
Overactive amygdala may cause a raised fear response that can lead to increased pressure on social situations.
An insight lead may be socialuneasiness.
This means that you might develop the condition after being exposed to the anxious leads of others.
All confusion is caused by a variety of behavioral and passionate causes.
Social anxiety does not result from genetics and cannot be passed from one generation to another.
The genes are responsible for anxiety disorders that are linked to specific chromosomes such as panic disorder and agoraphobia.
Around 7 million are affected by GAD out of 40 million. 15 million suffer from social anxiety disorder, 14.8 millions from major depressive disorder and 7.7 million from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Imagine a man standing before a group of people, and suddenly being unable to think clearly enough to speak his next sentence. He would then bungle through the sentence, making a sour face and leaving the room in embarrassment.
He would probably stress about how shocking he was at any given point, despite the fact that he could see himself in a coma.
Imagine a woman on uneven eyes, finding it shocking that she is in danger and refusing to stop until all the chaos has passed.
It wouldn't be surprising if she avoided future?ights at any point the climate gave off an impression that was not as exceptional as it really was.
Imagine a father who is obsessed with taking incessant photos of his child gagging. Any adoring guardian would swear to expel his youngster from all other people.
Adjustment is a natural reaction to these terrible occurrences. However, not all change is solid.
Undesirable adjustments could include weight gain, misshaped weights, or restriction in the ability to keep up with their condition.
If these unhelpful reactions continue, the person will develop a train issue.
Given the extreme unease individuals experience, it is easy to see how stress can be a great goal.
This strategy only serves to increase the number of issues they wantto predict.
We can guarantee tension to increase if we limit the physical reactions of uneasiness.
We will become tenser when our physical responses to uneasiness are controlled by the adrenals.
Stress can be used to solve problems.
Stress can be a problem-causing process. It makes people think more about the consequences of their actions than how they can change them.
It is possible to expand the human character.
Stress helps us to manage our tasks and gives us the drive to finish each attempt.
It is possible to expand the human personality.
Stress encourages us to address our problems and motivates us to finish each task by kicking-starting the essentialderivation process.
People who feel helpless are more likely to believe that they don't have the inner resources to deal with their problems. They use stress to get the best out of themselves and to plan for any unexpected circumstances.
Their battles are aided by two unmistakable inclinations.
Individuals on the edge would prefer not to submit mistakes, believing they will produce restless results.
In the same way, they would not feel any discomfort. The objective of the uneasiness was to stop or maintain a keydivision form unequal side effects when creating.
These messages– "Don't get tense and quote;– are a way to manage self-fulfilling prescience.
Each of these systems combined create an unusual oblige that is dealt with withinside an equipped post. This drives the choices made by worrisome people.
They follow aconviction structure, which is an advancement that reveals how they should respond to precariousness and wretchedness.
Many customers have strong convictions that are so strong they can ride roughshod over any mending system we use.
No matter what headings or techniques we provide to customers, they are able to end the powerlessness and misery regardless.
These drives have been a remarkable measure of my value. I tried to keep a strategic distance from agony and seek conviction in every case. This was evidently after years of failures.
IGA stands for in-game advertising. It refers to promotion in computer and video gaming.
IGA differs from advergaming, which refers to a game specifically designed for advertising a product.
It is a huge industry that is constantly growing.
Forbes predicts that the industry will reach $7.2 billion in 2016.
The 1978 computer game Adventureland was the first to be recognized as an IGA. It featured a self-promotional advertisement for Pirate Adventure, its next game.
IGA can be integrated within the game via background displays, such as an in-game advertisement or a commercial during a pause while a game loads. Or, it can be highly combined within the game so that the product is crucial to complete a part of the game, or is prominently highlighted within cut scenes.
E.g.Uniqlo has unveiled its eagerly awaited UT Grand Prix T-Shirt line.
Fans were captivated by the UT Grand Prix's look book. It featured motion and lively movement that was reminiscent of their much loved Nintendo Italian plumbers.
These photos were dressed in Zelda and Splatoon graphics, and covered with Uniqlo Sport Activewearsections. They ultimately brought videogame actions to the real world.
Lightning is a well-known computer game character.
Louis Vuitton considered her for its spring/summer 2016 advertisement campaign. She was voted the best-loved Final Fantasy female character in a survey conducted by Square Enix in 2013.
An imaginary character was chosen to be the face of the largest fashion house's advertisement campaign, instead of a real-life model.
Vuitton is not known for this unusual preference, but it makes sense.
Spring/Summer collection was inspired by Japanese anime and the digiscapes Minecraft, Final Fantasy, and Second Life.
Vuitton enlisted the assistance of Tetsuya Norman (main character designer for the latest Final Fantasy segment), to bring her to life.
A small video presents Lightning in the openingseen of the show. It was originally worn by Fernanda Ly, whose symbol pink hair (in retrospect), shows a striking similarity to Lightning's.
It was found that the images, especially in the context of Louis Vuitton, were striking and invigorating.
According to Bain & Company's 2015 global report, the luxury brand used this strategy as a great advertising tool.
We know that Lightning's fans are mainly in Japan, which is also a major market for Louis Vuitton. Japan is also the second-leading luxury market worldwide.
Advertisements within games can help a company or business grab the attention of potential buyers.
Battlefield 2142 was an example of such an online game that allowed entities to place ads in order to get their prospects' attention.
Final Fantasy XV has a variety of real-world goods that can be seen throughout the game.
You can see billboards advertising Coleman Cup Noodle everywhere you go. There is also a shop selling cup noodles in some of the cities that players visit.
Although it was a cheap promotion for online gamers, it could be considered the start of products being introduced on gaming platforms.
As we have already mentioned, games played an important role in human life since ancient times. They provided exercise or mental satisfaction and helped to get rid of boredom.
The games were shared between different communities, which eventually led to a greater understanding and a stronger bond among them.
The games are a great way to communicate with diverse groups of people.
This helped to establish small villages in ancient times.
Online games allow people to connect and create a bond between people of different ethnicities.
Online games have been a major medium for social interaction since the beginning.
Many people can discuss different game-related issues on one platform, because online games are linked to social media channels.
Marketing specific products can also be done in games to attract potential buyers or customers.
This particular industry has seen a tremendous growth in recent years.

Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept: 'Further developed' EV to debut in Frankfurt
Volkswagen has teased an updated version of the I.D. Crozz electric SUV concept, ahead of its reveal at the Frankfurt motor show next week.
First revealed at the Shanghai motor show in April, the I.D. Crozz concept previews the company's vision for a coupe-styled electric SUV, one of five new models to be released under the I.D. banner by 2022.
The 'further refined' concept car set to break cover in Frankfurt will feature revised front and rear ends, which Volkswagen says "point more in the direction of a production model".
However, the overall package will stay true to the vehicle that was shown in Shanghai, with four individual seats, high-gloss black treatments to the roof and tailgate, along with its all-electric powertrain.
The Shanghai version (above and below) claimed a power output of 225kW, a range of 500 kilometres on a single charge, along with a top speed of around 180km/h.
It's also equipped with a 150kW DC fast-charging system, allowing the I.D. Crozz to be charged to 80 per cent capacity within 30 minutes.
Other features of the I.D. Crozz concept include autonomous driving systems, an augmented reality information display for the driver, gesture-controlled vehicle functions, and a minimalistic cabin design that maximises occupant space and comfort.
Stay tuned to CarAdvice for our coverage of the Frankfurt motor show next week.

22-year-old found not guilty of murder
By Nelson Daranciang
ndaranciang@starbulletin.com
An Oahu jury returned a not-guilty verdict yesterday in the trial of a man accused of murder in connection with a fatal stabbing outside a downtown nightclub nearly three years ago.
Authorities released Sheldon Amuo, 22, yesterday after the jury returned its verdict. Amuo was charged with murder for killing Samio Saingo outside Club Pauahi on July 17, 2005.
Saingo, 24, died from stab wounds in his stomach and back he suffered in a fight as the nightclub was closing at about 1:30 a.m.
According to testimony presented in trial, Amuo and three other males were drinking at a downtown parking lot when Saingo started harassing them. The four males later went into the nightclub, which was having a "Micronesian Fun Night" promotion.
Bouncers did not allow Saingo into the nightclub. But he continued harassing the four males after they exited the nightclub, and got into a fight with one of them.
The three others, including Amuo, joined in, police said. They all fled in a taxicab after Saingo was stabbed.
Police believe Amuo left the state after the stabbing and was living with relatives in Oregon. They arrested him in August 2006 when he returned to Oahu.

Hannibal "Contorno" Review
Let's start this Hannibal review on a humorous observation - because my lord we need it with this kind of series. Between cannibal puns where, if people were paying attention, saw Hannibal Lecter flat out admit that he is a murdering chef to the gag reel, the show is despairing people and gory bits so it's natural to want a little bit of comedy into our show. Like some rigid comedy routine, have any of you noticed that Jack never pays for his own drinks? What's that all about? He always seems to be chewing on some delicious chow made by someone else. Does the man not know how to cook?
Well - maybe not. But whilst he isn't able to cook-ass. He is able to kick-ass.
TV Teaser - Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
It's hard to imagine all our favourite comedy stars as teenage camp counsellors but back in 2001, they all gathered to deliver a raucous, hysterical cult spoof and did it so well that it accumulated a large fanbase. Excitingly, Wet Hot American Summer returns to our screens with a prequel series looking at the first day of camp. Which means that all your favourite comedy stars return as teenage camp counsellors only this time they are 14 years older and somehow are supposed to be younger.
Outlander "Wentworth Prison" Review
There is something so sinisterly enthralling about villainous characters that, if done well, gift excellence to a television show. Like the romping Hannibal that illuminates his television show, evil characters are pivotal if they are fleshed out with realism. This is where Outlander and Game of Thrones separates. For example, with Ramsey Bolton, you can loathe him but he is a cartoon character of depravity and rage, set to exert the power shock towards the audience. With Captain Jack Randall, whose similar modus operandi causes alarm for fans, there is a sickening reason and poetic rhyme and reason to his work that fleshes him out as the beast he is - and not merely a device for us to loathe.
As we enter in to the darker elements of Outlander with the penultimate episode, we know exactly the lengths Randall will go to catch and break his prey.
Tim Hincks - BAFTA Television Lecture
"You're obviously like me, when it's a hot, warm night you think, 'lecture,' so thank you very much for joining me." Tim Hincks begins as people have settled down into their seats, feeling a little drenched with sweat and clutching themselves closer so the packed auditorium doesn't fill with unpleasant smells. As the sun beats down in London, most people would be loosening their ties and springing nearby to Green Park. Instead, us industry types wanted to bask in the intelligence, humour and wit of Tim Hincks - President of the Endemol Shine Group.
Humans "S1, E3" Review
Technology and sex go hand in hand, don't they? After all, without porn, the internet wouldn't be as nearly as popular as it is today. In fact, surprisingly, nothing is advanced as much as sex toys are. Particularly synthetic dolls. In the pursuit of advancement, vagina based droids are pushed beyond uncanny valley so that lonely people across the globe can feel some sort of manufactured flesh against them. In some ways, that is the basis of Humans this week, which sees sexual desire and robotic humanity clash intricately whilst others battle with being seemingly replaced or an impending war from the robots.
Hannibal "Aperitivo" Review
The shrieks of pain howled across the globe. No. No. Not the whining of detective Will Graham but the copious amount of Fannibals (that's the nickname for the obsessive audience who dine greedily on Bryan Fuller's show) all sobbing into their pocket squares this week. Including this intrepid critic, the devastating news that Hannibal has been cancelled by NBC. Despite a loss of ratings and many lamenting that the television series was too graphic or stylish for modern audiences to consume, a large fanbase has formed. Now a rally cry has been made as people practically beg for Netflix to option the show in all its gory wonder. And despite two shaky episodes, episode four Aperitivo finally staged its strength away from Hannibal's murderous trek through Europe.
Outlander "The Search" Review
Another week goes by and yet another filler episode has descended on Outlander. As we move further into red coat territory again, it becomes apparent that either the television show has no idea where it is heading or it is blighted by trying to adapt everything from the book. Stringing the plot and fleshing it out to fit twenty plus episodes means that, rather than focus on the drama, we get a pained and strained second half of a series that should have sprung into some sort of action. It's disappointing that we've galloped back to dullness once more.
Humans "S1 E2" Review
There is a lot of criticism about how much we use technology. It's every day and it sweeps, ironically, the internet in waves of criticism - as a generation, are we spending too much time with computers and the like? Humans pictures a world where menial tasks are replaced by Synths, including sex, and it brings up these themes again - are we becoming lazy in our advancement, or is this just progression?
Orange is the New Black Season 3 Overview (Spoilers!)
So, are you a binger or have you been pacing yourself? Have you been healthily snacking on Orange is the New Black or are you woozy from 13 course banquet of prison, lesbians and wholesome writing?
I'm guessing that most people have been sat there, frothing at the mouth and overcome by the awesomeness that is Orange is the New Black. Season Three has come with a lot of promise after two stellar seasons before it, so it's natural that there was a lot of pressure. After an emotional pilot episode, exploring motherhood whilst stuck in prison, and the new emotions that come boiling over with visits from loved ones that are so fleeting.
So let's have a look at those epic storylines in a show so totally unforgettable.
Orange Is The New Black "Trust No Bitch" Review (Spoilers!)
How do you end a television series? Do you, with risk of cancellation and bad figures, perch storylines and characters at the edge of a cliff? Let the audience wait a year, salivating over the threads unwoven? Or do you give them resolution? Allow the next season to be open with no set storyline? Well, Orange is the New Black has found an answer - both.

An innovative and original approach to reducing lane transgression on a multi-lane roundabout has continued to attract widespread industry recognition, with its recent receipt of the National Transport Award for the Most Innovative Transport Project, being the scheme's fourth independent award this year.
Connecting several key roads around Edinburgh and handling upward of 42,000 vehicles a day, the A720 Sheriffhall Roundabout has the potential to become very congested at peak times, so any incidents can bring about major disruption. Following a Stage 4 Road Safety Audit in 2014 that cited poor lane discipline as the prime cause of collisions at the roundabout, Clearview Intelligence, working alongside BEAR Scotland and current incumbents Amey, for Transport Scotland, installed an innovative intelligent road stud solution on the roundabout, the first of its type in the UK.
The audit had suggested that lane transgression was likely to be due to the level of difficulty that certain drivers may experience in understanding and reacting to the complexity of the junction. The solution uses Clearview's IRS2 active LED road studs triggered by green phases of traffic signals on the roundabout. As soon as the traffic signal on the entrance to the roundabout turns green, studs embedded in the road surface immediately illuminate and guide drivers onto the appropriate lanes of the roundabout. As the traffic signal turns red, all of the studs on that section switch off and the studs at the next section illuminate as the corresponding traffic signal turns green. Drivers now get an illuminated green phase to guide them all the way around and off the roundabout, with clear visual definition of the lanes to heighten discipline and reduce preventable collisions.
Independent evaluation by researchers from the Transport Research Institute at Edinburgh Napier University conducted a full 'before and after' study on driver behavior at the roundabout, with over 55,000 individual vehicle movements analyzed. The research to date has found a reduction in lane transgression activity across nearly all vehicle types and maneuvers, even during daylight hours, with a significant reduction in transgression rate (>50%) for medium-sized vehicles.
Overall, the study has concluded that the intelligent road stud scheme has significant positive impact on collision risk at the roundabout through reduced lane transgressions, meaning less congestion and fewer accidents.

University solar research wins industry award
By Northern Engineer • Posted in Industry News
Pioneering work in understanding and improving the efficiency of the UK's solar industry has led to a University of Sheffield research group scooping a top industry award.
Sheffield Solar, based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy was awarded the Smart Solar Industry Award from Smart Solar UK at a ceremony on Thursday 24 November 2016. The awards recognise excellence in the solar industry.
The group, part of the University's Energy 2050 institute and Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, has been active since 2010 and operates the UK's largest database of electricity generation data from rooftop solar panels. It promotes sharing of knowledge and data between industry, society and academia.
Sheffield Solar has been collecting data and analysing the performance of operational Photovoltaic (PV) systems around the UK for the past six years.
In a recent project, the group have been working with National Grid to help the transmission system operator understand how much power the UK's increasing number of solar panels are producing and to improve the efficiency of its electricity network.
The 'PV_Live' project runs for two years and aims to reduce uncertainty in half hourly estimates of PV generation by, on average, 50 MW during daylight hours.
The project could mean savings for the National Grid of between £1million and £10 million per year through offsetting the need to increase reserve holdings of the short-term response electricity used to balance the grid. This could be passed on to electricity bill payers.
Another benefit could be a reduction in the environmental impact of grid balancing operations, estimated at several thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The 'PV_Live' project has been so successful that after eight months, the output from the tool went live in the National Grid control room and is now the main grid balancing tool for forecasting PV generation.
Aldous Everard, Business Development Manager at Sheffield Solar, said: "I am delighted that Sheffield Solar has been recognised through the Smart Solar Solution award from Solar UK. Our project with National Grid has greatly improved real-time estimates of PV-generated solar power and our data continues to be used by experts and energy journalists across the UK."

The group have also been nominated for a Business Green Technology award. The winners will be announced on Friday 2 December 2016.


Reuters claims that "accuracy and fairness are the hallmarks of its reporting." But its reporting has come under increasing fire for its left-wing, anti-American bias. Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto writes that Reuters' anti-American sentiments have become more noticeable since the nine-eleven disaster. And it has been particularly evident in its coverage of coalition military operations in Iraq. Reuters recently hit a new low in its reporting on Army Private Jessica Lynch's homecoming.
But she says Reuters asked if it could use her byline on the story she had filed with the wire service. The wire service then inserted all the references to government propaganda and hyping of the Lynch story. After she read Reuters' version of her story, she asked that her byline be removed. The wire service did not comply with her request. Wrenn's Daily Mail column was subsequently reprinted in the New York Post and elsewhere on the Internet.
Wrenn says that is exactly what Reuters did. She wrote that she was "amazed" that Reuters would use her byline on a story that ended up with none of her original contributions. She said that she learned in college "how to report fairly, which is what I thought I was doing for Reuters." Wrenn wrote that she "may never know why some members of the media act the way they do." She didn't anticipate that Reuters would use her story to advance its own anti-American agenda.

A team of researchers from Tulane University have discovered a bacteria which converts paper into butanol – a biofuel that serves as a substitute for gasoline. The Tulane researchers have been experimenting with old editions of the local (to them) Times-Picayune newspaper with great success, and hope to implement similar measures on a larger scale soon.
Tina Casey, over at our sister site Cleantechnica, produced an excellent summary on the Tulane research – which I've included for you below.

The CRPF will not officially celebrate Holi this year as a mark of respect to its 40 jawans killed last month in a suicide attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the force's chief said Tuesday.
The DG said the force was procuring advanced weapons and gadgets including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), light bullet proof jackets, rifles, ground penetrating radars and signal jammers gunshot locators in order to better equip the troops in combat.
It was granted the President's regimental colour in 1950 by the first home minister of the country, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. It is the highest honour bestowed upon a force in recognition of exceptional service rendered by it to the nation, both during war and peace.

Eutingen, Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Salomon Jung, son of Johannes Jung & Margaretha Eichinger, was born 30 October 1743 and baptized 31 October 1743 in the Eutingen Evangelical Church, a small town that today is part of the northeast metropolitan area of Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg.
His father, Johannes Jung, along with his family, immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein), departing from Altona, Duchy of Holstein, under the leadership of Christoph Paquet, on 7 June 1762. They arrived in the city of Flensburg, Duchy of Schleswig on 12 June 1762.
While living in Denmark, Salomon married Maria Elisabetha, widow of Jakob Meyer who had died when arriving in Altona. Maria Elisabetha, who had been born in 1724, already had four children. In 1764, Salomon & Maria Elisabetha had a son who was named Johannes. All of them are recorded in Denmark until 12 January 1765, when they immigrated to Russia.
Salomon Jung and his family arrived in the Volga German colony of Holstein on 2 May 1766, and they are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 25, along with two remaining Meyer children: Margaretha (age 14) and Georg Jakob (age 11).

Solid Air: Australian Spoken Word Poetry
If poetry is enjoying a resurgence of interest right now, it's partly because spoken word has given the whole art form a powerful shot in the arm, on both the stage and the page.
What's driving this renewed energy, and how are artists blending (and bending) genres and art forms? What are the links between music, spoken word and resistance? And how is the latest upswell of interest linked to First Nations storytelling and the groundbreaking spoken word movements of the past?
Hosted by Anne-Marie Te Whiu and David Stavanger, editors of the new anthology Solid Air: Australian & New Zealand Spoken Word, our third Group Texts event will feature electrifying local performers and practitioners of spoken word. Join us for an evening of conversation and performance.
Hares & Hyenas will be our bookseller for this event.

ATLANTA (AP) — Sean Newcomb is fighting for a spot in the rotation for the Atlanta Braves' hopeful march to the postseason.
The way he's been going recently at home, Newcomb is leaving doubt that he can handle the job.
"It's just more a mentality," he said. "I've got to go out there and get right after guys and not worry about too much about what's going on as far as what's working and what's not."
Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon hit two-run homers, 19-year-old rookie Juan Soto added an RBI single in the ninth inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Braves 6-4 on Sunday.
Atlanta maintained a 6½-games lead in the NL East over second-place Philadelphia but has lost two straight following a season-best, six-game winning streak. The Braves are 38-36 at home, where they have lost eight of their last 11.
Tanner Roark (9-15) allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings, and Sean Doolittle pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 25 chances.
Newcomb (12-9) made 31 pitches in the first and allowed five runs and six hits in three innings. He has lost four of five home starts since coming within one strike of a no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Atlanta on July 29, and he has an 11.32 home ERA over that span.
"I wasn't commanding the fastball, so it was hard to get everything else going," Newcomb said. "You could tell they were laying off pitches, waiting on their pitch to kind of do something with."
Washington built a 3-0 lead in the first when Harper hit his 34th homer and Ryan Zimmerman's grounded into a run-scoring forceout. Rendon hit his 20th homer in the third to make it 5-0; he has reached safely in 25 straight games.
Soto singled in the first to extend his on-base streak to 21 straight games, tying Mickey Mantle in 1951 for the second-longest by a teenager behind Mel Ott's 22 in 1928. Soto is batting .357 during a 10-game hitting streak.
"He's been a blessing for us all year long," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "Just watching him play, he's just out there having fun and playing the game the right way."
Atlanta closed to 5-4 on two-run homers by Tyler Flowers in the fourth and by Charlie Culberson in the eighth against Greg Holland.
Roark's streak of 27 2/3 consecutive innings without a walk ended in the third, and he struck out Freddie Freeman to strand two runners.
Rendon dove to field a grounder at third in the fifth and jumped to throw off one leg to get pinch-hitter Preston Tucker at first. Late in the inning, center fielder Victor Robles ran hard to his left and chase down Ozzie Albies' liner at the wall.
But it was the Nationals' offense that dominated the last two games. Harper just hopes Washington can stay in contention despite being 7½ games back of Atlanta.
"It's a bummer when we're not winning ballgames," Harper said. "That was the biggest thing on my mind. I'm not really worried about my numbers or anything like that because I am who I am. That sounds bad, but I am. Any given night I'm able to go out there and do some things for this team that are special, and I was able to do that again today."
Braves 3B Johan Camargo missed his fourth straight game with left groin tightness, but manager Brian Snitker said he should be back in the lineup on Monday. … Atlanta RHP Arodys Vizcaino was not available after pitching a scoreless ninth inning Saturday, the former closer's first appearance after he missed 55 games with right shoulder inflammation.
RHP Erick Fedde (2-3, 5.12 ERA) will make his first career appearance against the Marlins when the Nationals begin a two-game series Monday at Miami. RHP Mike Foltynewicz (11-9, 2.66 ERA) will face 15-game winner Miles Mikolas when the Braves begin a three-game series against St. Louis.

Alfonso López Pumarejo (né le , à Honda, département de Tolima, Colombie - mort le  à Belgravia, Londres) est un homme d'État colombien, qui fut président de la République de 1934 à 1938, puis de 1942 à 1946.

Biographie
Alfonso López Pumarejo passa ses premières années à Honda, où son père, originaire de Bogota, était venu s'établir pour des raisons professionnelles.

Lorsque ses parents revinrent à Bogotá, il poursuivit ses études au Collège San Luis Gonzaga et au Lycée de commerce. Par la suite, son père l'envoya en Angleterre, où il étudia les finances au Brighton College. Enfin, il se perfectionna en économie à la Packard School de New York.

Le , López Pumarejo accepte d'être candidat à la présidence de la République pour succéder à Enrique Olaya Herrera. Avec l'absence d'adversaire dans le camp conservateur, il est élu avec presque un million de voix.

Il commence son gouvernement le , en essayant de mettre en pratique les idées qui étaient à la base de son programme électoral, de faire de la « république libérale » une réalité, de réaliser la « révolution en marche », qu'il a lui-même définie comme « le devoir de l'homme d'État d'obtenir par des moyens pacifiques et constitutionnels tout ce qu'obtiendrait une révolution par des moyens violents ».

La « révolution en marche » a entraîné la modernisation du pays et son immersion dans l'économie capitaliste. Les réformes constitutionnelles, législatives et normatives de la République libérale obéirent à une planification organique qui a recherché l'ajustement du régime démocratique avec les réalités sociales et économiques du temps.

Le travail accompli par López Pumarejo dans sa première administration fut si remarquable que peu nombreux furent ceux de ses partisans qui ne pensèrent pas à son lui pour l'élection présidentielle de 1942. López obtint sa réélection, en battant le candidat d'une coalition libérale-conservatrice représentée par Carlos Arango Vélez.

Devant les difficultés rencontrées pour gouverner en raison d'une forte opposition de la droite, López Pumarejo décide de mettre en œuvre une autre réforme constitutionnelle, adoptée en 1945. Cette réforme octroie la citoyenneté aux femmes, mais sans droit de vote. Elle consacre l'interdiction de voter pour les militaires. Elle restreint le nombre des débats pour l'approbation des lois.

Au cours de cette seconde administration, López a dû affronter une situation économique rendue difficile par la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui affectait la vente des produits colombiens à l'extérieur.

Dans le même temps, López dut affronter des difficultés dans sa vie familiale en raison de la maladie de son épouse, María Michelsen. Ces trois éléments - l'opposition conservatrice, la désunion du libéralisme et la santé précaire de son épouse - ont miné sa volonté et l'ont conduit à présenter sa démission en mars 1944, pour raisons familiales. Mais, une grève civique organisée par la classe ouvrière pour exprimer son soutien au président l'obligea à renoncer à sa démission, et à poursuivre son mandat.

Un des faits les plus importants de ce gouvernement intervint après ce qu'on a appelé le « coup d'État de Pasto », lorsque López et son ministre du Travail, Adán Arriaga Andrade, tirant profit de la situation, promulguèrent le décret législatif  de 1944, qui établissait la reconnaissance du contrat de travail comme entité juridique autonome, qui investissait le gouvernement de la faculté d'établir des modèles de contrats et de fixer le salaire minimum, qui fixait la durée de la journée de travail à neuf heures et rendait obligatoire le paiement des heures supplémentaires, qui fixait la durée du contrat de travail à six mois, instaurant le préavis correspondant, qui limitait à six mois également le contrat d'apprentissage et fixait à quatorze ans l'âge minimum pour commencer à travailler.

En ce qui concerne les relations internationales, Alfonso López Pumarejo établit des relations diplomatiques avec l'Union soviétique, adhéra au Traité de Chapultepec sur la solidarité interaméricaine et fit entrer la Colombie dans l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU).

Alfonso López Pumarejo est mort à Londres le , à l'âge de 73 ans. La maison où il mourut,  Wilton Crescent, dans le quartier de Belgravia, a une plaque commémorative à lui.

Zarif: Iran needs no charity from US, only wants bans lifted amid virus crisis
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Iran, as a resource-rich nation, needs no charity from US President Donald Trump in its battle against a coronavirus pandemic, urging Washington instead to stop standing in the way of Tehran's oil sales and banking transactions.
Zarif made the comments in a tweet on Tuesday, reacting to Trump's recent claim that the US was ready to help Iran contain the coronavirus outbreak if it asked.
Grilled by reporters earlier this week about the possibility of easing the harsh sanctions against the Iranian nation, the US president said, "I have a moral responsibility to help them if they ask. If they needed help, I would certainly consider different things."
Rejecting Trump's offer of help in his tweet, Zarif said, "What we want is for him (Trump) to STOP preventing Iran from selling oil & other products, buying its needs & making & receiving payments."
The top Iranian diplomat was referring to the draconian sanctions the Trump administration has imposed on the Iranian economy — especially targeting its oil sales and banking sector — as part of a so-called maximum pressure campaign.
In his tweet, Zarif posted some photos showing Iran's achievements in different sectors — including healthcare — and emphasized that the Islamic Republic is a rich country in human and natural resources.
"We don't need charity from @realDonaldTrump —who's forced to buy ventilators from sources he's sanctioned," Zarif added.
Trump's offer of help to Iran comes at a time when American hospitals have been overwhelmed in recent weeks by patient arrivals as the country records the highest number of infections in the world.
Washington was forced to get ventilators from a Russian firm under American sanctions earlier this week.
Iran — the worst hit state by the coronavirus spread in the Middle East — has been doing its utmost to contain the respiratory disease despite the hardships created by US sanctions.
Tehran's battle against the virus has repeatedly drawn the praise of the World Health Organization (WHO), which has expressed certitude that the Islamic Republic has enough capabilities to stem the outbreak.
As soon as the virus emerged in Iran, the government — backed by the Armed Forces — set up a national committee tasked with coordinating the country's response to the outbreak.
Backed by the Armed Forces, the government set up makeshift hospitals, increased production of hygienic items, introduced precautionary measures, stepped up coronavirus tests and launched a nationwide screening process to detect patients and isolate them.
Iranian experts have also developed testing kits and ventilators as sanctions have restricted the country's access to global markets.
Tehran has repeatedly said it does not want Washington's help in the fight but wants it to lift its illegal economic sanctions so that Iran can mobilize its own resources to tackle the pandemic.
The Trump administration has not only defied international calls on Washington in recent weeks to halt its draconian sanctions on Tehran, but has even slapped more such restrictive measures on the Islamic Republic.
Washington re-imposed its sanctions on Iran in May 2018 after unilaterally leaving a historic nuclear accord with Iran and other countries that has been endorsed by the UN Security Council.
