EVANGELICAL PROTESTANTS OF EURASIA: ACTIVE MISSION UNDER LIMITED FREEDOM
RISU.ORG.UA 2016
At the backdrop of major events and processes in Eurasia's religious life, the situation of religious minorities seems indicative, perhaps the most vulnerable of them being Protestants.
Typically, Evangelical Protestants experience the restrictive policy of the state earlier than the others. Therefore, what happens to them may serve to illustrate a larger trend to limit freedom, which poses a threat to the whole of civil society and the region as a whole.
Protestantism in Eurasia (the former Soviet Union, which was organized around Russia) is presented mainly by late Protestant denominations – Baptists and Pentecostals who from the first days of their history had to live and survive in conditions of limited freedom. But the nature of the restrictions changed — from religiously motivated discrimination to the atheistic fight against the religion of totalitarian suppression, to the selective approach, distinguishing between friend-or-foe, "historical and non-historical." In the last classification Protestants were generally depicted as "non-historical" and "foes" – no matter how long they live here and whatever hard they serve the community.
Evangelical Protestants are seen as part of Western Christianity and the culture, and are therefore automatically transferred to the category of foreign agents. But the main feature of which is a pain guardian of local traditions, is missionary activity. In contrast to the "historical" denominations, evangelical Protestants appeal to modernity and compensate for their poor history by social and missionary activity. In other words, their mission cannot be active because it is the mission that allows Evangelical Protestants to exist.
However, the nature and form of the mission inevitably changes — with the restriction of religious freedom comes the era of ambiguity, secrecy, codes. There comes the time of the so-called "insiders." These are evangelical Christians who are indistinguishable from ordinary people by appearance, they are involved in "normal" communities and achieve recognition, but are "agents of influence." Their motive is witnessing – by their life, work, success, relationships. Insiders find their vocation in alien religious environments (in Orthodoxy or Islam), in professional fields, public initiatives.
Why so? Because the very word mission has become dangerous. And this trend has developed a rather long time ago – as part of a broader anti-terrorism front and national security concern, inflated to madness. "TheYarova Laws," adopted in Russia on 06.07.16 only recorded what was long felt in society.
Interesting was the reaction of the religious leaders. First the Protestants announced fasting and prayer, appealed to the president requesting not to sign a package of laws [1]. But after the law entered into force, the heads of denominations pretended that nothing happened and therefore there was no reason to worry. In an interview on the matter, which, by the way, quickly disappeared from the official website of the Evangelical Christians of Baptist faith, the head of Russian Baptists Alexei Smirnov said that "the law is commonsensical," and Baptists are generally not engaged in missionary activities, they just preach the Gospel, and not promote their denomination. According to this logic, the missionary outreach is when people are invited to join a religious organization on behalf of the organization, and therefore they should delimit themselves to "mere Christianity"– without confession and address specifics. Experts note that this tactic is necessary for survival and that missionaries will have to refuse recognition of their activities and even belonging to the organization, so as not to put it under attack. "It creates a vicious circle: those groups that have not notified the authorities cannot engage in missionary activity, but their representatives claim that they are not involved in it," the director of "Sova"Alexander Verkhovskyy [2] comments.
Not only the "missionary" activity may be dangerous, but also any other "religious" activities and even words. Thus, Mari Pastor Alexander Yakimov was brought to responsibility for "illegal missionary activity" only because he blessed the villagers on the occasion of feast.[3] Head of the fund for drug addicts "Open Heart" Pastor Pavel Duchenko was arrested in St. Petersburg for the "anti-Russian sermon"[4]. In Noyabrsk an illegal playground at the house of worship was dismantled, and Pastor Alexei Teleusa was fined (it should be specially noted that the camp employees included the citizens of Ukraine and USA) [5]. In Orel anAmerica was fined for studying the Bible at home with his friends [2]. In Biisk, an attempt of ASD Church representatives to tell about themselves (that is to present their activities in the first person) to the employees of the district administration was qualified as illegal missionary activity. [11] In the village of Suzanovo, Orenburg region, Baptist pastor Alexander Demkin was accused of "unauthorized children picket," referring to the usual playground on the territory of the church. [13] There are other cases which the violators of anti-missionary law prefer not to disclose.
Interesting is the reaction lawyers who would have to defend the rights of believers. On July 18, the Slavic Legal Center organized a special webinar on materials which prepared guidelines for "religious organizations and believers," where the first advice was to "stop the panic," because "freedom of religion is subject to restrictions and regulation solely to ensure public safety. I.e. there has been no prohibition of faith, sermons and the like. There was a partial regulation of one of the activities of religious associations" [6, 3]. It is strange to hear from the experts that Christian missionary activity is only one part, which may be neglected.
Against this backdrop, even the usually politically correct co-chairman of the Advisory Council of Heads of Protestant Churches of Russia, member of the Public Chamber and Council for interaction with religious associations of RF President SergeiRyakhovskyy in his review of the law was much more adequate and, in my opinion, deserves a long quotation: "we live in a secular state and have the right to faith in God and dissemination of our religious beliefs. The church has a mission that we will perform at all times. in Soviet times the church has not obeyed the law when it prohibited to preach the Gospel. Today, any ban to preach the Gospel shall be similarly ignored, it is important to understand that. In the past 20 years, local municipalities, regional authorities did not allocate land to some denominations to build churches, and if they land was allocated, they were not allowed to build there. And now comes the prohibition to worship in residential premises, that is, we understand that this bill was prepared long ago. We can adapt to everything. I hope that my country, which I love, will not come to that, and we will not become again prisoners of conscience. But if it happens, I am ready to suffer for the first proclamation of the Gospel,"[7] said the bishop of Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith.
The bishop himself had yet no occasion to suffer. But two Americans who attended the anniversary conference in Kaluga with participation of Ryakhovskyy were detained over "religious ties" [12].
Obviously, the "the Yarovaya Laws" fulfill the state order to limit religious freedom and express the dominant mood not only in Russia but also in Eurasia as a whole, i.e .in the former Soviet Union, where Russia maintains a leading role. De jure, this approach poses a threat to all faiths, but de facto it protects the special role of the title, 'own', 'state-recognized' confessions that are satisfied with church religiosity and where the missionary outreach is not thriving. And on the contrary there is the presumption of guilt regarding Baptists and Pentecostals who are active in the missionary field.
Obviously, the Russian experience finds its application in the countries of Central Asia [8], in annexed Crimea and occupied Donbas [9], so that the "the Yarovaya Laws" will be in demand there. Experts note that in all these cases one and the same scheme is applied – the contrast between "traditional" and "non-traditional" faiths, and further marginalization of religious minorities as sects is justified thereby[8, 4; 9, 18-19].
There is no doubt that the «traditional» denominations will only benefit from such anti-sectarian and anti-missionary restrictions.
Judging by recent editions of the "YarovayaLaw package," the ROC managed to make amendments and protect their exclusive rights. Thus, the victims are Protestants – the most active in proselytism and thus less "traditional". Lawyers' comments on this situation (for example, the case of Yakimov) are not devoid of irony: "If, after the decision of the Mari court Orthodox clergy are not fined to at least five thousand (rubles) on the same basis, it will be apparent discrimination against other faiths. Punitive court order logic in Mari El implies that the blessings without preliminary notice at social events should be punished," lawyer Ina Zahrebina said. [10].
It should be clear for competent professionals (religious experts and lawyers): the Protestants will be urged to change their signs and forms of outreach, but it will not agree to stop. After all these missionary activity is not "one of the activities of religious associations," but the "great vocation," i.e. private and church calling. All this makes the conflict of religious minorities and the state almost inevitable. And if "European" way to settle such a conflict is to publicly defend one's freedoms and rights, the "Eurasian" way is the escape of churches underground, radicalization of sermon, revival of religious enthusiasm and active personal outreach in the format "from heart to heart." As the story of Protestants Eurasia testifies, they only benefitted from such conflicts.

When you set out to invest a significant amount of money in buying a property, it's essential to get an independent assessment of its true condition from top to bottom. For this, you need to hire a highly qualified Chartered Surveyor who reports to you and only you.
Buying a home is the most important investment that you will undertake in your lifetime, so it's important that you know what you are getting. A Building Survey will investigate the condition of the property and report any defects in detail, allowing you to make an informed decision as to whether or not you want to proceed with your purchase.
This report includes photos, detailed analysis of the entire building, including every accessible element, externally and internally. If any problems or structural issues are uncovered, the report will provide an estimated cost of repair and indicate the level of urgency required, so that you can factor these into your budget and any renovation plans you may have.
What type of property is a Building Survey for?
Why are Building Surveys important?
Buying a property is the biggest investment most of us will ever make, which is why it's essential to fully understand what you're buying before you commit. Even if you've got no reason to believe that the building is structurally unsound, it's easy to miss small problem indicators with an untrained eye. This is particularly the case when the property you are buying is old, large or unconventional in some way.
Without a survey, buyers can get as far as exchanging or even completing on a house before noticing defects that may have affected the price they offered or their decision to buy the property at all. Unfortunately, once you have exchanged contracts, these issues are no longer the responsibility of the vendor. According to RICS, buyers that fail to get any kind of survey pay an average of £5,750 in unexpected repairs once moving in.
Avoiding these surprise expenses is as simple as instructing a professional surveyor to inspect the building before you exchange contracts. With our training and experience, we are able to identify potential problems throughout the property and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about proceeding.
Which Building Survey should I get?
At Foundation Surveyors, we offer three levels of survey that follow the guidelines set out by RICS. For homes that are new, or nearly-new, a Condition Report provides a basic overview and confirms that there is no need for further investigation. However, in most cases, a HomeBuyer Report is more appropriate. This level of inspection considers the ageing building materials and expected wear and tear, providing buyers with more details about how to care for their new home.
Where a building is particularly complex – perhaps due to its materials, size or age – a Building Survey offers better value. Although it is the most expensive of the three RICS surveys, it allows surveyors enough time to complete a full visual inspection of an unusual home and report in detail about any defects or concerns that are identified. Building Surveys are also useful for homes that have been extensively modified or need to undergo renovation, as they will look closely at the performance of old and new construction materials to recommend necessary maintenance or alteration.
What's involved in a Building Survey?
Building Surveys include a thorough, visual inspection of all accessible areas of the house. Although your surveyor won't be able to force their way into locked cupboards or move furniture around, they will carefully look around each room, go into loft spaces and check any outbuildings.
Your report will contain a detailed description of each property feature and any observed defects. With a Building Survey, the surveyor will make recommendations about repair options, next steps and the likely consequences of inactivity. Should they notice anything that might concern your legal advisors or pose a serious threat to health or safety, this will be noted too.
How does the survey differ to a HomeBuyer Report?
Both the Building Survey and HomeBuyer Report offer a detailed insight into your home, with an experienced surveyor carrying out a surface-level inspection to find potential hazards. However, the surveyor will have more time to inspect all accessible areas of the property, such as the spaces between floors and walls, attics, basements and outbuildings.
If you are looking at a historic property or a very unusual building, your surveyor will typically have specialist experience with similar homes, allowing them to anticipate problems and provide more detailed recommendations.
In addition, the report you receive upon completion will be much more detailed than a HomeBuyer Report, although it will follow the same traffic light system for highlighting defects. You will be given a clear description of each fault, along with professional recommendations about repair and maintenance, along with their associated costs.
What are the benefits of having a RICS Building Survey?
Of all pre-purchase surveys approved by RICS (the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), a Building Survey is the most comprehensive. While this means that it is also the most expensive, it offers an unparalleled insight into the building you are about to buy, warning you about any urgent or expensive issues before you sign a deal.
Homeowners that fail to get a pre-purchase survey on their property typically spend over £5,000 on repairs when they move in, meaning that any survey can actually save you money and prevent unpleasant surprises once you have the keys. For example, if your Building Survey uncovers £15,000 worth of necessary repairs, you can try to negotiate the same amount off of the asking price.

Shore Junction is coming to Takapuna
Shore Junction is a youth innovation hub being created in the heart of Takapuna. It is being designed as a space for young people to connect, belong, and grow. Shore Junction will offer youth-friendly facilities and integrated services that support innovation, learning, wellbeing and creativity, enabling young people to accelerate their potential and embark on their future pathways to success.
Shore Junction is coming
In February 2020 Shore Junction will become New Zealand's first free-to-access youth innovation hub for Auckland youth aged between 13 and 24 years of age. We are thrilled to announce that the team at Brosnan Construction has begun work to renovate the former Takapuna RSA building!
Our board members and CEO Sonia Thursby have spent over two years working with the community to grow support and commitment from a number of enthusiastic local business owners, philanthropists, foundations and other funders. Along with the much-needed financial support from the foundations, we have secured valuable commitments from local businesses and private supporters for equipment, finishing and furnishings.
Sonia's determination to turn this remarkable concept into a reality has been infectious among the North Shore community. We are proud to be 100% co-designed; everything that has gone into Shore Junction has been achieved with our community of young people, building on the methods and principles of participatory design which assumes the 'users' are the experts of their own domain and should be involved fully in the design process.
There are so many people to thank, who have contributed to the initiative thus far, who have given their time, energy and expertise (and money!) to make this a reality. The one group that deserves so much recognition is the young people. Young people are at the heart of everything we do at Shore Junction; they know what they and other young people are looking for in an innovation space and it is that expertise we seek to make Shore Junction succeed.
Shore Junction's vision is to accelerate the potential of young people and support them towards their future pathways. The ultimate goal is to support young people to feel passionate about self-led learning, to achieve better educational outcomes in priority subject areas, and to be in stronger positions to use their learning in an employment or enterprise context, transitioning more successfully to their future pathways.
See you there in February 2020.

Name: Lind
It was a Sunday morning, the third or fourth time I slept over. I woke up to the feeling of his hands running through my hair, like a novice hairdresser procrastinating making the first cut. I opened my eyes Desi women dating saw the s on the digital clock blinking I closed my eyes.
His hands combed urgently through my hair. His breath quickened. I felt his heart slamming, timpani-like, against my shoulder blade.
Suddenly fully awake, I braced for a bombshell. No more dating non-Jews.
Time to literally kiss non-Jews goodbye. But I was wrong, wrong by a mile of foreskins. The scourge of interfaith marriage is a topic many Jews are surprisingly wild for, given its capacity to pull down close relationships brick-by-brick. But some Jews do want to date other Jews. But it is limiting. Sexy older grand in Lands End my work covering dating for the Forward over the past two-and-a-half years, I have met hundreds and hundreds of people who are trying to find love with another Jewish person.
I only dated The Non-Jew for a short time, but thanks to the Jewish calendar it was still onerous.
I reenacted the Purim story, broke down the symbolism of the Seder plate, tried to reacquaint myself with the Omer. It could have been worse. I imagined the hundreds of questions he would have if he ever spotted a group of Jews moaning and Most famous christmas songs spices around a column of flame, or as it is known by some, Havdalah.
He was tall, but that can mean anything these days, what with access to animal proteins. He was polite, but politeness is a side effect of any of ethnic and religious backgrounds. He grew up on the Upper West Side, which might as well have thrown my Jewdar into a bucket of whitefish.
He wore thick-frame eyeglasses, but those have become omnipresent in a way that precludes them any longer being a shibboleth for members of the tribe. I tried to draw him out. I brought up Jewish TV shows — nothing. I name-dropped Jewish lifecycle events — nope. Finally I got him, on Passover. He had a crazed mid-Atlantic accent with a slight-lisp, dating a Kennedy who was raised at a truck stop. This is where I have to disagree with him.
Spare me blond, bacon-colored men and their tedious brags about how much their ancestors flourished on the Mayflower, I say! Give me a man whose eyebrows you could jump in to hide from Hitler. This is it, I told myself. My last non-Jew, or at least the last person I date who only interacts with Judaism as jew meme. Adult wants nsa Westby dad called me on a Friday afternoon.
I had Houses for sale in wickersley road rotherham to go axe-throwing non a former Evangelical. This time I had been actively deluding myself.
My evidence that this man was Jewish was that he had the first name of a Torah patriarch, and brown hair. Case closed, I thought.
He was certainly loitering around Sinai! Wrong again. As we trotted through Union Square on our second date, I tried interfaith dialogue. The Speed dating events in southern california of good works! Loving and praising one god! Axe-throwing is where you go to a dungeon-like space and pay all of your money to throw rusty blades at a wall. It is bowling, for people who are so cynical about the American healthcare system that they want to demonstrate its uselessness.
I was paralyzed with anxiety. The non-Jew might as well have taken me golfing on top of an active volcano.
Axe-throwing, I felt, demonstrated exactly why I needed to lie down in a JCC parking lot and wait for a man or the elements to take me. I was taught to treat my safety as a family Backpage puppies for sale in phoenix az that had been carried around Europe, across an ocean, and through depressions and wars. I was taught that caution was a sacred value, a Jewish value. Flinging knives for sport felt like not quite in the spirit of that.
Their dull blades thudded around me, and I screamed the scream of a woman who might want to learn piano some day.
I am forgetting where I came from, I thought, as an instructor showed how to throw multiple axes at once. I never went Be naughty online with that non-Jew again.
I prick up my ears for stories about the tasting the blood of Christ, about the violent nuns, about a sense of great beauty, just out of reach. That he stopped going to church, and stopped being a Christian. And I think about how it would feel to be able to just stop, just opt out.
To let a part of yourself end. How things would be different if Judaism was something that you could slip off like a dress. However you practice, whatever you believe, Massage envy terre haute indiana whoever you marry, Top dating sites finland will always have this special disaster — the world will not let you wrest from yourself this thing that you are.
I look at the man. We have lots in common even though he dropped his religion like an Apple airpod and I could no more easily stop being Jewish than replace my blood with buttercream.

There are plenty of activities for tourists to participate in, for instance diving. Divers get a chance to explore hard and soft coral reefs, caves and swim-through tunnels.
Best time to dive is from April to August, you can expect fair visibility, wide range of colorful tropical fish and beautiful coral. Bear in mind to avoid visiting Nha Trang on November and December, heavy rain, tropical storm and typhoon may ruin much of its appeal.
Other adventures including wakeboarding, kite surfing and banana boat rides are waiting for you to enjoy. This explains why Nha Trang is becoming a popular destination, attracting large numbers of not only Vietnamese tourists but also international tourists.

Assassin (암살자, Lee Man-hee, 1969)
Posted on August 11, 2017 December 1, 2017 by Hayley ScanlonLeave a comment
Lee Man-hee thought he'd made an "anti-communist" film in 1965, but apparently he was wrong. The Seven Female POWs was severely edited and retitled Returned Female Soldiers when eventually released, meanwhile Lee did some jail time for supposedly breaking the law in his sympathetic depiction of leftist soldiers. In 1969's Assassin (암살자, Amsalija) he takes no chances. Set directly after the liberation, Assassin makes no attempt to deny that this was a cruel and chaotic time in which loyalties were to be questioned and honour mourned.
The hardline communists have a problem. One of their top generals, Nam (Park Am), is about to defect and ally with the ruling regime. They need to get rid of him in a hurry. Their plan is to hire an assassin and frame "the Right" before Nam can defect. The Assassin (Jang Dong-hui) they call on is the number one pro but some worry he's too softhearted for what they have planned. Despite his cold hearted profession, the Assassin has been raising the daughter of a man he killed nine years ago as his own and will not take being dragged away from her at short notice kindly,
Though the communist agents turn up somewhat ominously – one hiding out and lending an umbrella to the Assassin's little girl and the other inviting himself into the house, they do not directly threaten the Assassin or even offer him money when he tries to turn them down. He eventually decides to take the assignment only on hearing the target's name and realising he would make a perfect addition to his hit list firstly because they have an old score to settle and secondly because the Assassin has long wanted to see the face of a man meeting his death bravely as he pulls the trigger.
Shooting in colour and with a more experimental mindset, Lee's use of time is strange and bewildering. The entire enterprise takes place over one night yet much of the outdoor scenes are in daylight. He stages two monologues as a conversation by cutting between two different couples on boats – the Assassin recounting his childhood to a communist foot soldier, and Nam having a heart to heart with his lady love. Meanwhile, Lee also cuts back to the Assassin's home where the innocent little girl is chatting playfully with another of the communist goons who has been sent to keep an eye on (and then perhaps eliminate) her while her father is out on the job.
Lee begins with a voice over stating that the film will expose the truth about communist violence, instantly locating its own political intentions. The communists are a bad bunch who have no honour, no loyalty, no compassion, and no interest in anything other than their own cause. The cause itself is thereby rendered irrelevant through their own hypocrisy. In order to get the job done, the communists have recruited a local boy to drive the boat and carry messages. They've promised him a place in a good school in Seoul. Needless to say they will not be honouring that promise. No one can know of this job – it's supposed to be a rightest plot, and so all loose ends must be eliminated, including those currently members of the communist faction.
The Assassin does not approve of this. His ideas are old fashioned and he believes in a kind of code even within the darkness of his own profession. The Assassin's only joy is in his little girl – really the daughter of a man he murdered. This is both proof of his adherence to his code of honour and to his generally compassionate nature. Nam is much the same. He has his code too, though it has recently been ruptured by the intrusion of love. Before, he could have said anything but now he's found love he's happy to go and will bear his sentence with dignity. Strangely, neither Nam nor the Assassin pause to consider what will happen to the women in their lives when they are gone, even if it is these women and their relations with them that have humanised their otherwise calculating hearts.
The Assassin's little girl remains completely unaware of her adopted father's profession or of the danger posed by a man she doesn't know sitting at her bedside fondling a gun. Her one request of her father is that he bring her back an apple with the leaves still on it – a symbol of her own innocence and naivety, but the apples he picks for her are later smashed to smithereens under a communist's boot. The communist gets his own comeuppance (these communists do seem to be quite a dim bunch, gleefully felling their fellow officers yet never guessing they may be next), but Lee's rather unsubtle message is clear as "the left" stomps all over any and all signs of love, compassion, innocence or beauty.
Unlike Lee's other films this one ends with a heavy handed voice over but no "The End" – presumably the story of the struggle against communism is not yet finished. The story is an old one, men who live by the sword die by the sword – they know this and accept it almost as a religious rite. Both Nam and the Assassin know their place within this cycle and so they submit to it with bravery and stoicism whereas the strangely manic villain attempts to run from his fate but fails miserably. Lee experiments with time and form, perhaps attempting to move past the obvious propaganda element of the project but never manages to escape it. Still, The Assassin is oddly moving in its final moments even if tinged with cynicism and a sense of the world's cruelty untempered by Lee's generally forgiving melancholy.
Assassin is the fourth and final film in The Korean Film Archive's Lee Man-hee box set which comes with English subtitles on all four films as well as a bilingual booklet. Also available to stream online via the Korean Film Archive's YouTube Channel.

Black Hair (검은 머리, Lee Man-hee, 1964)
Posted on August 9, 2017 December 1, 2017 by Hayley Scanlon3 Comments
Film noir can be the most contradictory of genres. A moralistic world filled with immortality, fatalism mixed with existential angst, and a rage against society which is always tinged with a resignation to living on its margins. Genre in Korean cinema has always been a little more fluid than elsewhere and Lee Man-hee's seminal crime thriller Black Hair (검은 머리, Geomeun Meori) is also a melodrama – the story of a self loathing man committed to his own arbitrary codes, and a woman he expects to pay the price for them.
In a brief prologue that has little to do with the ongoing narrative, ruthless gangster Dong-il (Jang Dong-hui) extorts a corrupt CEO by blackmailing him over some illicit smuggling. Meanwhile, across town, the gangster's wife, Yeon-sil (Moon Jeong-suk), meets with a man, Man-ho (Chae Rang), in a hotel room. She's come to pay him off, hoping it will be for the last time but Manh-ho, an opium addict, knows he's onto an endless cash cow and refuses to put an end to their "arrangement". Sometime ago, Man-ho raped Yeon-sil and has been blackmailing her for money and sexual favours ever since. Yeon-sil threatens to tell her husband and the police and suffer the consequences, but Man-ho knows she won't. Dong-il's gang have a strict rule about adultery and if Yeon-sil trusted him enough to believe he would believe her about the rape, she would have told him already.
Another goon hides behind a screen, snapping photos of Yeon-sil and Man-ho which he later passes on to Dong-il. The boss is shocked and shaken. He knows he has to enforce the rules he himself set down for the gang, but he never expected them to cost him his wife. Eventually Dong-il orders an underling to slash Yeon-sil's face with a broken bottle, after which she is exiled from the gang. Anyone who tries to repair her scars or help her in any other way will be treated as an enemy.
At this point the narrative splits as Yeon-sil is cast down into a sleazy underworld, living with her blackmailer who pimps her out as a common streetwalker and then steals all her money to spend on drugs and booze. She pines for her husband whom she has been prevented from seeing, longing to at least explain why she did what she did and ensure he knows that her heart has always been with him. Dong-il, by contrast, is going to pieces – his gang no longer respect him, he feels guilty about the way he treated his wife, and he has no idea where to go from here.
Unlike other films of the era or film noir in general, Lee's world view is non-judgemental in its treatment of the respective paths of Yeon-sil and Dong-il. Yeon-sil is left with no choice than to enter into a life of casual prostitution and the film forgives her for this – the fault is that of Dong-il and Man-ho rather than her own. Having been horribly scarred, she wears her hair longer on one side to hide her disfigurement but is constantly reminded of her emotional damage through its physical manifestation and the reactions it often elicits. Picking up a client in the street, she's threatened with violence and cruel words for having "deceived" him when he catches sight of her disfigured face. A passing taxi driver witnesses the attack and challenges the man so Yeon-sil can escape. The cabbie then hires her and they spend the night together in a nearby brothel. He surprises Yeon-sil by being entirely unfazed about her facial scarring, offering to help her get it treated if that's what she wants, and making it clear he would like to spend more time with her off the clock.
Yeon-sil's life is completely controlled by her triangular relationship to the three men – her unforgiving husband Dong-il, the cruel and venal Man-ho, and the good and decent cab driver. After meeting the cabbie, Yeon-sil tries to see Dong-il again but his boys stop her. They say they'll take her to see him, but really they're planning quite another destination. Luckily, in a staggering coincidence, they're spotted by the taxi driver who once again saves Yeon-sil, taking her home to stay with him and proposing they embark on a more formal relationship.
This is more of a problem than it seems for Dong-il's guys who now fear their boss will find out they tried to kill his wife in an effort to wake him up from his ongoing existential malaise. The rules of the gang are tough and clear – adultery is not permissible, no woman is allowed to leave, no exceptions are to be made. Dong-il, however, is beginning to rethink the code he himself designed. A conversation with his childhood nanny throws up a number of interesting questions. She blames herself for giving Dong-il "evil" milk which has led to his spiritual corruption, though Dong-il later tells Yeon-sil that he did not choose evil so much evil chose him. He created these "evil" gang rules, but failed to live up to them in continuing to feel attached to Yeon-sil – he feels he must punish himself for the "sin" of being unable to forget her and abide by his own honour system which he now feels to be pointless and arbitrary. Effectively issuing himself a death sentence, Dong-il changes tack confirming that he has, in a sense, chosen evil even if it was a "choice" of refusing to resist the path set down for him. Suddenly realising the emotion he felt for Yeon-sil was love, he is struck by a terrible feeling of loneliness.
As in much of Lee's work, Yeon-sil and Dong-il are trapped by their own society and belief systems and finally perhaps by feeling. Yeong-sil is frequently captured behind bars or caught in a window, imprisoned within the frame as she tries to reconcile herself to her precarious position, daring to hope for a new, decent life with the good hearted taxi driver while also mourning her love for Dong-il and living with the humiliation caused to her by Man-ho. Lee's structure is sometimes unclear as he introduces a fairly pointless subplot about the taxi driver's modern woman little sister who has moved out to be independent but works in a hostess bar, inhabiting the same sleazy world as Yeon-sil and Dong-il, only more innocently, but never does much with it beyond contrasting the lives of the two women who occupy slightly different generations and have very different options open to them. There's a fatalism and inevitability in the way Yeong-sil and Dong-il live their lives to which the taxi driver and his sister do not quite subscribe but Lee breaks with the genre's trademark pessimism to offer the glimmer of a bittersweet ending and the chance of a new beginning for the much abused Yeon-sil now freed of her dark associations.
Black Hair is the second in The Korean Film Archive's Lee Man-hee box set which comes with English subtitles on all four films as well as a bilingual booklet. (Not currently available to stream online)

The Marines Who Never Returned (돌아오지 않는 해병, Lee Man-hee, 1963)
Posted on August 8, 2017 February 20, 2020 by Hayley Scanlon3 Comments
Lee Man-hee was among the most prolific of Korean directors until his untimely death at the age of just 43 in 1975, but even among so many well regarded works The Marines Who Never Returned (돌아오지 않는 해병, 돌아오지 않는 해병, Doraoji Anneun Haebyong) has taken on an especial place in Korean film culture. Lee had himself served in the Korean War and brought his own ambivalent attitudes to the piece, expressing both an abject rejection of the senseless loss of life but also a warmth and nostalgia for the camaraderie born only out of such immediate danger. The film's title, as melancholy as it is, points to this same ambivalence by signalling the eventually unhappy fates of these ordinary men but also according them a ghostly, unresolved future.
In the midst of the Korean War, a squad of South Korean soldiers is on patrol and taking fire from the Chinese in an urban environment. While they bide their time in a trench, a young girl and her pregnant mother run out of a nearby building. The girl runs clear but the mother is shot and killed in the crossfire. One of the soldiers is deeply struck by the scene and insists they at least make sure the little girl is safe. Pushing deeper into the building, the soldiers come upon a truly horrifying, hellish scene of men trussed up and hanging from the ceilings while bodies of the townspeople lie piled along the floor. The same soldier who wanted to save the little girl finds his own sister among the dead, just one face among so many.
From this point on the tale is narrated by the little girl, Young-hui (Jeon Young-sun), who is adopted by the troop of marines and smuggled around inside an old army kit bag so that the superiors do not find out about her presence. Young-hui proves a resilient little girl who obviously misses her parents but begins to care deeply for the soldiers who have taken her in. Giving each of her new uncles nicknames, Young-hui becomes the squad's mascot and a symbol of everything it is they're fighting for. Yet this makeshift family also has its share of difficulties. A problem arises when Young-hui recognises a new recruit, Choi (Choi Moo-ryong), as a man from her village. Choi is the brother of the man who joined the other side, took Young-hui's father away and killed the sister of Private Goo, discovered so casually among the many dead in Young-hui's village alone.
The conflict between Choi and Goo is emblematic of many ordinary families throughout Korea as fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, decided on different paths and found themselves on opposing sides of a war. Choi, as is pointed out, is not responsible for his brother's actions – he clearly does not condone or agree with them, but still he feels responsible enough to understand Goo's anger and resentment. Goo in turn realises his anger is pointless and misdirected but is powerless to change the way he feels. This situation is no one's fault, but they'll all pay the price anyway.
Lee spares no expense in recreating the hellish battles scenes more akin to the first war than the second with its outdated tanks, dugouts, and trenches. The easy, familial life of the camp soon gives way to action and danger as the squad meet their ends one by one. Away from the battlefield the men feel displaced within their own country – caught in the midst of a civil war yet also subjugated by foreign forces, barred from UN only bars and referred to as "tuppenny Koreans" by the "hostesses" in comparison to their big spending compatriots. Making his goodbye speech, the commanding officer instructs his comrade to return home and ask if anybody really needs to go to war, but rising from the trenches their thoughts are all for their fallen friends who will never see home again. These men remain "lost" on the battlefield, a lingering memory of loss and sacrifice which is impossible to resolve even so many years later.
The Marines Who Never Returned is the first in The Korean Film Archive's Lee Man-hee box set which comes with English subtitles on all four films as well as a bilingual booklet but the film is also currently available to stream via the Korean Film Archive's YouTube channel.

So I've been quiet on the blog recently, I could give you a list of reasons, finishing a full time MA moving house, moving jobs and writing book 2 in the home front series but I'm not going to get into that.
Instead what I'm going to do is give you the very exciting news that the preorder for The Prisoner, book 2 in the home front series following Anna's Home Front, is now live on Kindle.
I am so pleased with the cover art work for this one, it's exactly what I was looking for and my designer did an amazing job, as usual.
When i first approached him about doing the followup cover art, all I gave him to work with was that I wanted the cover to reflect the new story while remaining true to the series and the branding of the first.
Now I'm off to finish up the manuscript ready for April's big launch.

Karl Oswald Emthén (i riksdagen kallad Emthén i Höven, senare Emthén i Marsta), född 7 mars 1853 i Ytterenhörna socken, död 12 april 1934 i Södertälje, var en svensk lantbrukare och riksdagsledamot (liberal till 1905, därefter Nationella framstegspartiet).

Oswald Emthén var lantbrukare i Marsta i Turinge utanför Södertälje fram till 1886, därefter i Höven i Resele i Ångermanland och senare åter i Turinge. Under sin tid i Resele var han kommunalnämndens ordförande.

Han var riksdagsledamot i andra kammaren 1897–1908 för Ångermanlands västra domsagas valkrets. I riksdagen var han vilde fram till 1899, och anslöt sig 1900 till det nybildade Liberala samlingspartiet. Den sista mandatperioden, 1906–1908, tillhörde han Nationella framstegspartiet. Han var bland annat suppleant i statsutskottet 1903–1905 samt 1908 och i bankoutskottet 1906–1907. Som riksdagsledamot engagerade han sig exempelvis för en kommunal rösträttsreform.

WE ARE ALL EARTHLINGS – THE INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS
by Helen Cunningham, Ph.D.
Have you ever looked into the eyes of your dog, cat, horse, parakeet, or iguana, said "I Love you", then wondered if your words had registered? What is he thinking? Does she love me too? Popular cartoons and internet videos make it easy to put thoughts into animals' minds and words to their lips, but what is REALLY going on inside those noggins?
THE GOLD STANDARD
For a long time the gold standard for intelligence was human beings. Certain human abilities were considered to separate us from the animals, to make us special and better. God gave us dominion over animals, after all. So philosophers, theologians, and scientists wanted to justify that.
PONDERING ANIMAL THOUGHT
The Greeks thought about animal intelligence a lot. Guys with names like Xenophon and Alcamaeon of Croton opined that while man has rationality, animals only have perception. Aristotle conceded that they have the knowledge needed to cope with their environment, but not the ability to reason. On a more positive note, Alexander thought that building nests & dams meant that animals must be able to think. And Porphyry came up with a new angle. The problem, he said, is not that animals lack minds but that humans lack the capacity to understand their minds.
Meanwhile, the Egyptians didn't recognize a difference between humans and animals in the first place. Animals were considered the earthly representation of the gods. The Romans had less to say about animals, but Plato did say that humans who do not use rational thought are no better than beasts.
The French philosopher Rene Descartes believed that our ability to think proves we have a soul. But he got himself into a jam when it came to animals. Believing that animals had a soul would've been heresy in the religious thinking of his time, so he had to conclude that animals could not think. When presented with examples of animals performing above the capabilities of humans, he said "the very perfection of the animal's acts render it less likely that it thinks!" A logical contradiction. But he was good at geometry.
HOW ANIMALS SOLVE PROBLEMS
Puzzle Box
Edward Thorndike in the 1800s invented a puzzle box to study animal intelligence. The animal had to operate a series of levers, strings, and buttons to escape and get food. At first the animal moves about randomly and eventually triggers the right sequence by accident. Then over time, it learns what works and what does not, and gets out faster. Thorndike recorded time to escape and plotted a "learning curve". The learning curves of cats & dogs are always gradual. If an animal has an 'aha' moment, suddenly gaining insight, escape time should drop sharply at that point. That never happens in cats, dogs, or chickens. Thorndike concluded that animals learn unconsciously by trial and error, not by having "insight". But Thorndike didn't test monkeys!
In 1917 Wolfgang Kohler published The Mentality of Apes (1917). Köhler observed that chimpanzees will stack boxes in order to reach a banana suspended from the ceiling, and they do it after quiet study not after a lot of running around and pawing at things. Likewise they will use a stick to draw food to them if it's beyond the reach of their arms. Köhler showed that chimps have "insight". Recent research has shown that dolphins have it too!
Paint something onto an animal's face or chest that can only been seen in the mirror. If when looking in the mirror, the animal touches ITSELF rather than the mirror image, then this indicates that the animal realizes it is seeing itself in the mirror. Chimps, elephants, dolphins, & parrots pass this test. Dogs & cats do not.
PRIMATES CHATTING IT UP
We know that chimps can solve problems by insight, can use tools, and have self-awareness. That brings them close to the gold standard of human intelligence. But what about language? That's unique to humans, right?
The earliest studies of ape language tried to teach chimpanzees how to speak, that is to make the same sounds that humans make. These studies were a flop. Chimpanzees lack the vocal apparatus needed to speak language. So it's important to test intelligence using the capabilities an animal possesses, and human researchers have experienced a learning curve of their own in coming up with more sophisticated methods.
In 1965, Allen & Beatrix Gardner had the idea to try sign language, because the hands of chimps are very much like ours. Voila! The first primate to learn sign language was Washoe the Chimp. The Gardners raised her just like you would a human child, with books & toys, eating and traveling by car with the family. They started out by rewarding her with food & tickle sessions for learning a sign, but they soon discovered that just like a human child, the best motivation was Washoe's natural desire to communicate. Eventually Washoe learned 350 signs.
When new chimps came to live with her, she helped teach them the signs. She and others also put known signs together to express new concepts. For example: "thermos" was "metal cup drink". And when new students came to work with Washoe, she would slow down her rate of signing for the novice speakers of sign language. A humbling experience for them.
Koko the gorilla was the second famous primate to learn sign language. Teaching Koko sign language began as a Ph.D. project for Penny Patterson, a grad student at Stanford University, and it became her life's work. Koko is reported to have learned 1000 signs and like Washoe could invent new words by stringing together old ones. For example: "ring" = "finger" "bracelet". She had many books & films created about her, and she became known for her love of cats and her famous visitors such as Robin Williams & Sting. Koko passed away in mid 2018 at the age of 47.
Despite their ability to express knowledge and feeling with signs, neither Washoe nor Koko ever spoke full sentences with grammar such as humans do. They said things like "You me out go", and "Time eat". Another interesting limitation of primate language is that, although they understand and answer questions, it seems primates never ASK questions. Even something obvious like "Where's my kitten?" Compare this to human children who never stop with the questions.
DOLPHINS ARE WHIZZES … AND WHISTLERS!
Dolphins surpass dogs & cats in their ability to solve puzzles. In one experiment, dolphins were taught to collect weights scattered around their pool which they had to place on top of a box in order to release a food reward. Although taught to retrieve & stack one at a time, when left alone to complete the task they collected all of the weights at the same time which got them the food a lot faster. Aha!
Dolphins communicate with whistles & chirps and can mimic new sounds. When put in a situation where pressing a button delivers a whistle and a toy, they learn to associate a particular whistle with a particular toy, and will repeat that whistle when the toy is shown to them. Researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm plan to use artificial intelligence to create a complete dolphin-language dictionary by the year 2021. They hope to show that dolphins know more than 50 words of Dolphinish.
ELEPHANTS COOPERATE & RESCUE
Elephant brains have as many cortical nerve cells and connections as human brains do, they are believed to rank equal to dolphins in terms of problem-solving abilities, and they are equal to great apes in terms of tool manufacture & use. But SOCIAL cognition is where elephants really shine! They are better than chimps on tasks requiring cooperation. In one such task, two animals must simultaneously pull on ropes attached to either end of a cylinder holding food, in order to open the cylinder. They figure this out faster than chimps do. "Elephants also do better than primates at empathy and rescue", says Josh Plotnik, head of elephant research at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation in Thailand. Elephants empathize, they help each other, and they work together.
Aristotle described the elephant as "The animal that surpasses all others in wit and mind."
DOGS GET THE POINT!
Apart from learning tricks and serving man in an amazing variety of important jobs, there is one thing that sets dogs apart from even chimpanzees in intelligence. Dogs are the only non-human animal who understands what it means to point at something! Laurie Santos, a psychologist at Yale University: "They understand that people are trying to communicate information and use such communicative signals way better than primates do." Chimpanzees don't look past the tip of an outstretched finger when a human points them in the direction of food, but a dog can use pointing as well as eye-direction cues to locate objects in the distance. Dogs are also good at understanding human language. One famous border collie named Chaser knows 1000 words of English!
Ah the age old question: Who is smarter? No surprise that dogs beat cats at working with humans. Cats are not as sociable and they don't easily tolerate frustration. If an activity isn't immediately rewarding, they move on. That said, cats are far more dexterous with their paws than dogs and we know that manual dexterity is a key element of human and primate intelligence. In one study of wild carnivores using a puzzle-box, the feline species did better than the canine species, the wild cats succeeding almost 30% of the time while the wild dogs only succeeded 24% of the time. And when it comes to communication, cats have developed something very special just for their human companions: The "meow"! Adult cats do not meow to each other, only to humans! Their wild relatives don't meow either, beyond early infancy. Domestic cats can communicate wishes & feelings by modulating the tone and timing of their meows.
BRAINY BIRDS
Despite the small absolute size, bird brains are densely packed with neurons! Bird do amazing things like flying through dense forests without smacking into a tree branch. That alone is worthy of note. But recent research has shown that two major bird families, the crows & the parrots, are capable of cognitive feats equal to primates. Crows make & use a hook tool crafted from twigs by trimming and sculpting a functional hook which they then use to poke insect larvae from holes in trees. Magpies pass the self-awareness test! Place a colored sticker on the bird's chest and then put it in front of a mirror. A magpie will peck at the sticker ONLY after seeing it in the mirror (not before … that is, it's NOT feeling the sticker stuck to its feathers).
A PARROT NAMED "ALEX"
An African Gray Parrot named "Alex" became famous as the first bird to use language. A researcher named Irene Pepperberg used special training methods and was careful not to accidentally "cue" him for answers. By the time he was 30 years old, Pepperberg claimed that Alex could add and subtract, count to six, identify objects and colors, and sometimes made up names like "banerry" for apples — banana plus cherry. He also used language to express his emotions. Once when he had to stay overnight at the vet's office, he said "I'm sorry, come here, wanna go back." Finally, according to Pepperberg Alex did something no primate has done – He asked questions!
SO, ARE HUMANS REALLY 'THE GOLD STANDARD' ?
Researchers now believe that animal intelligence isn't a matter of how closely related they are to humans. Dolphin brains look nothing like ours, and bird brains are structured differently too. When animals achieve the same capabilities without being related to each other, that's called "convergent evolution". There are many examples of this from the brilliant dolphin down to the lowly octopus, and we're only now learning how much we did not know before. The 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said:
"IF A LION COULD TALK, WE WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIM"
But maybe that's starting to change!

Q: Cypress : Run same test on 2 different url (to avoid copy paste same code) I would like to know if there is a way to rerun the same tests twice (second time with different url) to avoid copy paste of the exact same code should look like something like this :
describe('...', () => {
   before(() => cy.visit('/))

   describe('Series of tests ...', () => {
      // Tests goes here
   })

   after(() => {
     cy.visit('other url')
     cy.rerun() // Re run the describe right above with the new url is there a way to do something like this ?
   })
})

A: You could use Cypress Lodash to iterate a certain number of times.
const urls = ['url1', 'url2'];

describe('...', () => {
  Cypress._.times(urls.length, ((index) => {
    it('Runs the test', () => {
      cy.visit(url[index]);
      // rest of test
    });
  });
});

A: It's easier to iterate the urls directly,
const urls = ['url1', 'url2'];

describe('...', () => {

  urls.forEach(url => {

    it('Runs the test', () => {
      cy.visit(url);
      // rest of test
    });
  });
});

If there's one thing I love about spring it's spending more time outside. Warmer weather and longer days means coming home from work, leashing up the boys, and heading to the park for some much needed time in the woods. Consequently, our weeknight dinners have become less about cooking and more about assembling. Meal prep has been a welcome addition to my weekend routine.
The formula for our meal prep is pretty simple; 2-3 roasted veggies, a big batch of grain, some kind of protein (usually beans or tofu for me and chicken for Jay), and maybe a casserole to cook later in the week. These along with some fruit and nuts for snacking has us set for the week.
Bowls like this one are a particular favorite of mine for lunch and dinner. Having my ingredients prepped and ready to go means I can scoop out a little of each ingredient and take it with me to work or have a quick dinner before heading outside.
Meal prepping has also made it easier to feel a little healthier this season. Having hearty veggies, whole grains, and tasty protein at the ready means I'm not eating out or relying on processed meals as much.
This recipe serves two, but can easily be doubled or tripled and incorporated into your meal prep rotation. Check it out let me know what you think in the comments below!
Preheat the oven to 400. Chop the zucchini and summer squash into bite-sized chunks. Place the veggies on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Combine the sesame seeds, sumac, and thyme in a bowl then sprinkle the mixture over the veggies. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the veggies until each piece is coated in oil and seasoning. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until veggies are soft.
While the veggies are roasting, chop the tomato into chunks about the same size as the veggies and set aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of hummus into two bowls. Create a dent with your spoon and drizzle olive oil into the well and add a dash of sumac (optional). Scoop 1/2 cup of cooked rice into each bowl.
Once the veggies have finished roasting, pull them from the oven and toss them with the tomato. Spoon the veggies on top of the hummus and top with parsley (optional). Season the whole bowl with an additional pinch of sea salt (optional) and enjoy!

Half of High Schoolers Suffer Side Effects from Energy Drinks
By Kim Su-jin
As many as half of all Korean high schoolers could be suffering side effects from caffeinated energy drinks such as heart palpitations, insomnia and even death, according to a small-scale study.
Prof. Oh Yun-jung at Keimyung university interviewed 245 high schoolers and found that 79.5 percent had drunk them. The most common reason was to alleviate fatigue with 64.6 percent, followed by their taste with 21.5 percent.
Some 50.6 percent said they experienced side effects such as heart palpitations, insomnia, headache, dizziness and trembling hands.
Girls suffered more side effects than boys because their physique tends to be smaller.
Professor Seo Hee-sun at Gachon University Gil Hospital said, "The brains of adolescents are not as developed as those of adults, and they weigh less, so they are more likely to get hooked on caffeine. But caffeine doesn't remove the causes of fatigue in the body. It merely overrides them for a while, so dependency makes people more tired later."
Several U.S. states ban underage consumers from buying energy drinks, but in Korea they are freely available in any convenience store.

Five dead, many injured after New Zealand volcano eruption
Five people were killed, 18 were injured and several more were left stranded after an island volcano popular with tourists erupted unexpectedly in New Zealand on Monday.
Police said some 50 people were visiting White Island when it exploded suddenly in the early afternoon — hurling ash and rock high into the air.
Two dozen people made it off the island, five of whom have since died. The rest are being treated for injuries, including severe burns.
Nothing is yet known about a group — now estimated to number in the double digits — who are still trapped on the island.
"We're unsure of the exact numbers on there and we're unsure of their wellbeing," said deputy commissioner John Tims.
As night fell, he said volcanic activity made a rescue attempt too dangerous.
"The island is unstable, there's a danger of further eruptions, it is physically unsafe for us to return to the island"
Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Ltd/AFP / Handout This combination of handout images from a webcam belonging to the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences shows the volcano on New Zealand's White Island spewing steam and ash
"I've got to consider the safety of our people and emergency services staff."
The eruption occurred at 2:11pm (0111 GMT), thrusting a thick plume of white ash 3.6 kilometres (12,000 feet) into the sky.
Seconds before, live camera feeds showed a group of more than a half dozen people walking on the crater floor. Then the images went black.
A "considerable number" of those caught up in the disaster are believed to be Australian, according to officials in Canberra.
Michael Schade/AFP / Handout This handout photograph courtesy of Michael Schade shows wreckage of a helicopter amid ash minutes after the volcano erupted
As many as 30 people are also believed to be cruise passengers on a day trip from the vessel Ovation of the Seas, Kevin O'Sullivan, chief executive officer of industry body the New Zealand Cruise Association told AFP.
The ship's operator Royal Caribbean — who had billed the trip to White Island as "an unforgettable guided tour of New Zealand's most active volcano" — said "a number of our guests were touring the island" but did not confirm that number.
The ship has a capacity of around 4,000 people and set sail from Sydney last week on a 12 day voyage.
– Scene of terror –
Tourist Michael Schade, made it off the island just in time and was able to capture footage of the devastation.
His videos showed groups of startled tourists clustered by the shoreline, waiting to be evacuated as the ground around them smouldered, the sky filled with white debris. An ash-caked helicopter lies damaged nearby.
As his ship hurtled away, the caldera became virtually invisible, shrouded by a thick bank of ash.
AFP /New Zealand volcano
Volcanic Air said they had landed a helicopter on the island shortly before the eruption carrying four visitors and one pilot. All were now accounted for.
"It had landed on the island. What happened after that we don't know, but we know that all five made it back to Whakatane on one of the tourist boats," a company spokesman told AFP.
Guillaume Calmelet, the co-director of Skydive Tauranga, saw the eruption from above as he took a customer on a tandem skydive from a plane 12,000 feet above the Bay of Plenty.
"As soon as the parachute opened there was this huge cloud that was really different to whatever we've seen before," he told AFP. "I could see it coming out in freefall, so probably about 30 seconds for the whole cloud to form, if that. It was pretty quick."
The country's National Emergency Management Agency described the eruption as "moderate", although the plume of ash was clearly visible from the mainland and from satellites flying overhead.
"We have seen a steady decline in activity since the eruption. There remains significant uncertainty as to future changes but currently, there are no signs of escalation."
AFP/File / TORSTEN BLACKWOOD A file picture of New Zealand's most active volcano, Whakarri (White Island), in the Bay of Plenty
White Island — – also known as Whakaari — is about 50 kilometers (30 miles) offshore in the picturesque Bay of Plenty and is popular with adventurous tourists willing to don hard hats and gas masks.
It is New Zealand's most active volcano cone and about 70 percent of it is underwater, according to government-backed agency GeoNet.
Around 10,000 people visit the volcano every year. It has erupted frequently over the last half-century, most recently in 2016.
In August of that year the New Zealand Defense Force airlifted a 2.4-tonne shipping container onto the island to serve as an emergency shelter in case of an eruption.
"Sudden, unheralded eruptions from volcanoes such as White Island can be expected at any time," said University of Auckland volcanologist Shane Cronin.
"The hazards expected from such events are the violent ejection of hot blocks and ash, and formation of 'hurricane-like' currents of wet ash and coarse particles that radiate from the explosion vent."
"These can be deadly in terms of causing impact trauma, burns and respiratory problems. The eruptions are short-lived, but once one occurs, there are high chances for further, generally smaller ones as the system re-equilibrates."
In a CNN panel discussion Wednesday, notorious Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein revealed that there are seven to nine Republican senators who are wavering after the compelling argument that the House has provided for the impeachment. The problem, however, is that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is refusing to allow any break from the party line.
"I think this is a hugely damaging narrative that was laid out today, and that Mitch McConnell understands, and has understood for a while that this hugely damaging narrative was going to affect his members," said Bernstein. "And that his strategy -- I've talked to some Republicans about this -- #MidnightMitch is to wear out his own members so that they don't vote for more witnesses because there are six, seven, eight, nine wobbly Republicans."
