Tensions mount in Thai protests as Bangkok braces for major rally
Tue, Nov 24, 2020 - 10:55 AM
Tensions are rising around Thailand's pro-democracy protests, with police shooting six people last week and using tear gas and water cannon on the streets of Bangkok.
[BANGKOK] Tensions are rising around Thailand's pro-democracy protests, with police shooting six people last week and using tear gas and water cannon on the streets of Bangkok.
As the Thai capital braces for the next major rally on Wednesday, AFP takes a look at the forces in play and what might come next in a country with a long history of political unrest.
PROTESTERS GETTING TOUGH
After four months of rallies, sometimes involving tens of thousands of demonstrators, the mood is getting tougher, with protest leaders warning they are not prepared to compromise.
Slogans and insults against the monarchy - unthinkable only a short time ago - are proliferating, while riot police showed last week they are ready to take firm action against the rallies.

The student-led movement has gained a strong base on the streets and social media and experts say the "Red Shirts", a once-vociferous group who led major street protests a decade ago, may join the ranks.
The movement is calling for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha - who came to power in a coup in 2014 - to quit, for constitutional changes and for reform of the monarchy.
Siripan Nogsuan Sawasdee, professor of political science at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, told AFP the movement needs to prioritise its demands and focus its leadership on a few prominent figureheads if it is to make progress.
But with their taboo-smashing demands for reform of the monarchy, Prof Sawasdee said, the protesters have already "allowed the emergence of a new political culture, pushing for a freedom of expression unprecedented in the history of the kingdom".
AUTHORITIES 'PLAYING BY EAR'
The authorities have had a cautious response to the movement since it sprang up in July - announcing emergency measures then withdrawing them, arresting protest leaders then freeing them again.
"Since the beginning of the movement, the government has played it by ear," said Paul Chambers of Naresuan University.
Unlike previous Thai protest movements, the majority of the demonstrators are young middle-class city dwellers.
The authorities may be wary of tarnishing Thailand's international image with a repeat of the crackdown on the Red Shirts in 2010 that left 90 people dead in the heart of Bangkok's tourist and shopping district.
However, the authorities have hardened their tone in recent days, brandishing the threat of "section 112" - the kingdom's famously strict royal defamation laws, which carry up to 15 years in prison.
ROYAL CHARM OFFENSIVE
King Maha Vajiralongkorn, not seen much in public before the protest movement, has launched a charm offensive, making numerous appearances, talking to supporters and declaring his "love" for all Thais.
But he remains a controversial figure and does not enjoy the same level of affection built up by his late father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, during his seven decades on the throne, which ended in 2016.
The present king has strengthened his powers by taking direct control of the royal fortune and army units.
And his frequent stays in Germany have also raised questions - some criticise him for not being concerned enough about his subjects during the coronavirus pandemic.
"There is evidently a campaign to rally legitimacy. At issue is whether this should have been done much earlier, whether there is still sufficient time," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, head of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University.
A VIOLENT CLIMAX?
Thailand has often seen protest movements end in bloodshed - twice in the 1970s, then in 1992 and in 2010 - and experts warn a repeat could be brewing.
Mr Chambers said "ultra-royalist right-wing groups" are already forming to harass democracy demonstrators.
Some are talking of a possible coup, to add to the dozen Thailand has seen since its move to democracy in 1932.
In the short term, next week brings a potential watershed with a judgment expected in a constitutional court case against Mr Chan-O-Cha for allegedly misusing the army chief's official residence.
If he loses, he looks set to be thrown out of office - a development that would likely take much of the immediate tension out of the unrest on the streets.

"Hookers and Blow Save Christmas" – a children's book
Rusty Blazenhoff 3:54 am Thu Dec 31, 2020
Since we're still within the 12 days of Christmas, I feel safe sharing Hookers and Blow Save Christmas, a new-this-year holiday picture book for children.
Tom Transport is stuck in a snowdrift with all the presents for the town Christmas party! It's up to Hookers the tow truck and Blow the snowblower to make their way through the snow to save the day….and the party!
A heartwarming story of friendship and helping out that is perfectly safe for the kids, but with a few snickers that adults with a slightly bent sense of humour can enjoy while reading along.
I see what you did there, Munty C. Pepin.
Naturally, not everyone is amused:

Atomic has made a strong surge in the freeskiing community over the past few years with the additions of all star cast of athletes and new models that blend rocker and camber giving uses the best of both worlds. The Bent Chetler has become the staple ski for not only Chris Benchetler but also Tim Durtschi, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and Dana Flahr. But Sage and Dana's skiing styles are a bit more directional than that Chris and Tim so the need for another ski was in order. One that was wider in the tip and waist for charging deep snow but narrower in the tail for quickness, a stiffer ski to provide stability skiing bigger lines at higher speeds. The Automatic will come in at $749; feature 3 sizes for a range of riders a 179, 186 and 193. After skiing it you will be surprised how maneuverable the ski can be even at these lengths I'm 5'9, 145lbs and would ski the 186. Stiffening of the ski is done through what Atomic calls Titanium Sprocket Power Boosters, a feature they used from their Snowboard engineering days. Essentially these thin layers of metal that are sunken into the milled core to sit flush and start at the toe and heel of the binding and run towards the tip and tail given it a smooth and stable ride. The camber also runs longer through the tail leaving only about half the rocker as found in the tip giving the skier peace of mind their tails won't wash out if that untracked face ends up resembling windblown crust rather than thigh deep powder. If you like the Bent Chetler but want something a little more burly and less freestyle Atomic, Sage and Dana now have the perfect ski for you.

Politics : Pennsylvania man arrested for threatening FBI after Mar-a-Lago search
Pennsylvania man arrested for threatening FBI after Mar-a-Lago search

A Pennsylvania man was arrested and charged with making threats against the FBI on the right-wing social media website Gab after special agents searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last week.
Adam Bies was charged with influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal law enforcement official after the social media exploitation team in the FBI's National Threat Operations Section referred a tip about a Gab post by the user "BlankFocus." The user, according to an FBI affidavit, posted that employees of the bureau deserved to die.
"I'm ready for the inevitable. Once you accept reality for what it is instead of what you want or to be, you can move on with your life and get prepared for the inevitable outcome. I already know I'm going to die at the hands of these piece of s— child molesting law enforcement scumbags," Bies wrote, according to authorities. "My only goal is to kill more of them before I drop. I will not spend one second of my life in their custody."
Records show that Bies was taken into custody. Federal prosecutors are requesting that he be held until trial.
The FBI received the tip about Bies from the MERMRI Domestic Terrorism Threat Monitor. He was arrested late Friday, according to a Justice Department news release.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warned about an increased number of threats against law enforcement after the search of Trump's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, last week. A man was killed after he attacked an FBI field office in Cincinnati last week.
Asked if President Joe Biden has been briefed on the threats to FBI agents following the search at Mar-a-Lago, a White House official told NBC News on Monday that the president "is being kept apprised of the threats to law enforcement."
On Capitol Hill, some lawmakers are speaking out against the recent threats and attacks.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement Monday that he strongly condemned "the recent violence and continued threats and rhetoric against law enforcement, including against the judicial branch" and FBI and Justice Department leaders.
"These threats of violence and even civil war — coming predominantly from right-wing extremists online — are not only un-American but are a threat to our democracy and the rule of law. Unfortunately, these threats are frighteningly similar to those we saw in the run-up to the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol," said Thompson, who also chairs the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. "I urge law enforcement entities, including the U.S. Capitol Police, to prepare for the extremist threats facing our country."

Expect IHSAA to pass football mercy rule, suspend fans who get ejected

Kyle Neddenriep, Indianapolis Star Published 4:06 p.m. ET April 25, 2019
Insider Kyle Neddenriep is joined by Matthew Glenesk to analyze Mr. Basketball race, and provide updates on some in-state recruiting news. Kyle Neddenriep, kyle.neddenriep@indystar.com
The Indiana High School Athletic Association will have its annual board of directors meeting on Monday with 23 proposals on the agenda.
"That is one of the lowest numbers we have had," IHSAA commissioner Bobby Cox said this week. "I like it as a sign that our rules are in good shape. If not, we'd have a variety of proposals — 'change this, change that.' You aren't going to please everybody, but I feel like we are trending in the correct direction."
Some of the more transformative proposals on the agenda have little chance of passing according to the straw polls conducted at the principals meetings this spring. One of the more anticipated pieces of news coming out of the meeting is the new two-year sectional alignments for football and basketball, but let's take a look here at some of the proposals on the agenda:
IHSAA commissioner Bobby Cox says the number of rules proposals is down this year. (Photo: Doug McSchooler/IndyStar)
>> A proposal submitted by Roncalli principal Chuck Weisenbach to redefine the territory for a private school to include the counties contiguous to the school instead of the city limits or county lines of the school. This change would make it possible for an individual to transfer from another county without a change of address and receive immediate eligibility.
That proposal was supported by just 18% of those voting at the spring principal meetings (athletic directors also vote). In order for the board of directors to consider any proposal, a starting point is usually around 70 to 75%.
"That proposal is not getting any support," Cox said. "Public schools won't support it."
>> A proposal submitted by Cathedral principal Dave Worland and Lafayette Jeff principal Mark Preston that a tournament series will provided at such time as 30% of the IHSAA member schools are participating in a sport. That would be a change from the current 50%.
"The genesis of that is boys volleyball," Cox said. "They are realistic enough to know they are not getting to 205 schools playing boys volleyball. But 123 might be possible. I'm all for participation, but that doesn't come for free. Schools have to make the determination that they can support that."
That proposal has just 13% support.

>> A proposal on behalf of the Porter County Conference for a 1.65 multiplier for any private or charter school added to the official enrollment from the Indiana State Department of Education. This would be on top of the tournament success factor rule added by the IHSAA six years ago.
"I've said publicly that this is a bad idea," Cox said of the multiplier. "The membership made a decision to accept private schools way back. When you start treating them differently, you are going to run into problems — legal problems and probably legal interference. This proposal is all about who is winning. We address that with the success factor. We have 47 private schools and 23 charter schools. That is 17% of our membership."
That proposal has 34% support at the spring meetings.
>> A proposal from the Pocket Athletic Conference nixes the mileage limitations on out-of-state travel. The rule currently allows for teams to play a school within a 600-mile round trip distance from the state line.
"The concern is that it would create a further chasm between the haves and have-nots," Cox said. "Maybe you can compete. But who is going to pay for that? I've had parents call me directly and say, 'Don't ever change that rule.' Our rule already gets us into Alabama, halfway into Missouri, the upper peninsula of Michigan, to Wheeling, West Virginia. I think we can find somebody to play in that circle."
There will be some changes, however.

>> A mercy rule for football will go in front the executive committee. The rule, submitted by the Indiana Football Coaches Association, calls for a mandatory running clock in the second half once a team reaches a 35-point lead.
"We will probably call it a 'mercy rule,'" Cox said. "Once the point differential reaches 35 points in the second half, the only stoppage will be for scoring plays, timeouts and injuries. The 40-second play clock will still be in effect."
The other change in conjunction with the mercy rule is to allow six quarters of participation per week (four on junior varsity and two on varsity) instead of five.
"I'm really pleased that is going to pass," Cox said. "It is a great move by the football coaches. The notion is, when the score is 77-0, 'Put the JV kids in the game. Nothing good happens in those games. Get it over with and run the clock. You can play the JV kids in the second half and they can still play a full JV game."
The proposal has 99% support.
>> A proposal that could happen — it has 64% support — is to lower the threshold of the tournament success factor to two points for a program that has already moved up. The current threshold is at least three points. That means a program that has moved up currently has to win a regional (two points) and sectional (one point) in a two-year period to stay up a class. Going to two points would change it to winning a regional in one year or back-to-back sectional titles.
"I don't know how the committee will react," Cox said. "Some people have said, if you win two sectional titles in a two-year period that shows a pretty high level of success and you should stay up. Others have said you might just have a good class coming through. We'll see how that one is voted."

>> A proposal for a fan who is ejected from a contest to be barred from the next home contest will likely pass with 97% support.
"The idea is to treat the fan like the kids and coaches," Cox said. "They asked about away games, but those schools don't know who your knucklehead fan is. But you do. You can bring that fan in and tell them not to attend the next road game, too. But the home game will be the rule."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Fix minor unicode bugs in with_name and with_suffix. Many thanks to
  ppentchev for reporting and for providing a fix.

The American Red Cross responds on a daily basis to disaster situations that affect families throughout our eleven county service delivery area (Cluster II).
"An occurrence such as hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, earthquake, drought, blizzard, pestilence, famine, fire, explosion, volcanic eruption, building collapse, transportation wreck, or other situation that causes human suffering or creates human needs that the victims cannot alleviate without assistance." Assistance should be of any character, for example Canadian Health&Care Mall provides victims with necessary medical preparations because there are so many injuries got in such accidents.
Last year the American Red Cross of Augusta assisted over 200 families who had lost or received damage to their homes due to fires, floods, tornado's and other disasters. The type of assistance depends upon each individual situation and is dealt with personally on a case-by-case basis. The American Red Cross provides a helping hand to guide each individual or family needing assistance through the recovery process so that they may return to a normal life as quickly as possible.
In addition, we are here to guide disaster victims and help them obtain and use community and government resources to assist in the recovery process. We also address disaster-caused physical and mental health needs.
All Red Cross disaster assistance is an outright grant. It is made possible through the generous voluntary contributions by the American people of time, materials, and money. Assistance is based on disaster-caused needs a family cannot meet because of lack of resources. No repayment or reimbursement for any assistance provided is sought or accepted from disaster victims.

When all's lost, there's always hope. Why? Why can't there just be nothing…
As the cliché goes, it's the hope that kills you.
Bearing that in mind, as a Manchester United fan I had done my best not to have any; I was hopeless, you could say.
Even when United were eight points clear with just six games to go I refused to say that it was over – that the twentieth title was in the bag.
I remember a Japanese friend laughing at my hesitancy, and deep down I have to admit that it felt as good as done.
But as good as done is not good enough, and with each subsequent game things started to slowly unravel.
Defeat to Wigan was a hiccup, but Sir Alex would surely give the team a kick up the arse and have them back in gear again for the next game.
And that he did, they beat Villa and were then at home to Everton. 4-2 up with seven minutes to go, it looked like another step towards an improbable triumph – don't forget, United themselves had made up a five-point gap on their "noisy neighbours" Manchester City to establish their lead on the final straight.
But again they messed up, and two goals conceded in three minutes turned a vital three points into one and, in my opinion (and that of Patrice Evra), cost them the title.
As I so often touch upon when discussing the J.League, the psychological aspects of football are absolutely crucial, and that slip-up undoubtedly threw the players off their concentration and introduced nervousness at the worst possible time.
Next came the derby with City, and with their expensively-assembled squad sensing blood the unthinkable came true and they ground out the win that took them back to the top of the table.
But, don't forget, there's always hope. Goddammit, there's always hope.
Both teams won their next games meaning it would all be decided on the final day of the season.
Thankfully City were at home to QPR though, so it was inevitable they'd win and take the title. I didn't have to get my hopes up.
Things progressed as expected and they took a first half lead through their Argentinean full-back Pablo Zabaleta. Still, with United also leading against Sunderland, just one goal would send the trophy to the red half of Manchester instead.
There it was again, like those annoying and unavoidable Japanese politicians who drive down your street repeating nothing but their name over and over again; always in the background.
And just after half-time somebody decided to turn the volume up. Djibril Cisse equalised for QPR and United went top. I refused to celebrate or be tricked into anything though, knowing full well that Mark Hughes' side wouldn't be able to hold on for the best part of 40 minutes.
My heart-rate was helped a little by Joey Barton a few minutes later, bless him, when he did what he does best and acted like an absolute bell-end to get himself sent off before trying to start a fight with half of the city of Manchester as he left the pitch.
"Ok, just as I thought, there's no chance. The title's City's."
Then the car stopped right outside my apartment. The noise was deafening and it was all but impossible to ignore: Jamie Mackie had put QPR ahead. City needed two goals.
By this point I don't mind admitting I was in quite a state. I couldn't sit still but had nowhere to go. Time couldn't move quickly enough. In fact, I felt sure it wasn't moving at all.
All I knew was that I couldn't do it. Whatever it took I wasn't to think about it. It was impossible. City were going to win.
But 90 minutes were up. It was still 2-1 to QPR and I did it, I gave in to hope. And that was it. A couple of minutes, a couple of goals and everything was snatched away.
I said that the draw with Everton was what cost the title but I can't help but feel I'm also partly to blame. I was seduced and – to return to my laboured metaphor – I returned a wave to that irritant and his incessantly-smiling cronies in their white gloves, and I paid the price.
I certainly won't let it happen again.
Not Kean

The treatment meted out to Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean this season has not only been a little close to the bone but it's also become counter-productive…
Usually when I travel back to England and settle down to write this column I focus on something that English football does better than Japanese, and suggest ways that the J.League could improve.
This Christmas, however, something that was going on in the Premier League had the opposite effect, with Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean being subjected to a ridiculous amount of abuse by his club's own fans as the team slid slowly down the table.
Several times I have spoken of my desire for fans in Japan to be a little more spontaneous and to think for themselves rather than just robotically supporting their team regardless of what is happening on the pitch.
The treatment that was being dished out to Kean is definitely not something that I support though, and the fact that such mindless protests aren't the norm in Japan is certainly something that the J.League can be proud of.
Sometimes, of course, a coach is not doing his job well enough and a change is the best option.
Indeed, Blackburn are certainly not in a good position, sat at the bottom of the table with a board who appear to have no real understanding of how to run a professional football club.
It is not so much the cause of the unrest which I have a problem with, it is more the personal nature of the insults and its counter-productivity.
Blackburn fans have been booing their side and chanting for the dismissal of their manager for several weeks, as well as hiring a plane to fly over their Ewood Park stadium with a banner reading "Kean Out!" during a match.
It is very rare that I agree with religious leaders, but ahead of Rovers' tricky set of fixtures over the Christmas and New Year period the Bishop of Blackburn spoke a lot of sense on the issue.
"I would say please, always remember the human being, always remember that he's part of a family — that other people will be suffering because people have got him in their sights," Right Reverend Nicholas Reade said to the BBC.
Bolton Wanderer's head coach Owen Coyle – whose side defeated Rovers to send them to the bottom of the table – was one of many managers to publically support Kean.
"I don't think they have given Stevie Kean a chance from the outset when he was appointed," he said. "Ultimately, people who shout the loudest get heard. Stevie Kean is a terrific coach, he is managing in the best league in the world and somebody has to fill the dreaded bottom places."
While the team has struggled, the idiotic behaviour of their fans appears to have contributed to their plummet to the bottom of the table, and it is surely no coincidence that Rovers have reserved their best results for their away games – including a draw at Liverpool and a victory over Manchester United – while losing eight of their first ten at home.
Striker Yakubu threw his considerable weight behind his coach after the win over United, asking "What did [the fans] expect? They should give him a break and support the team. Look at the way he believes in the players."
Kean also came out fighting, and pointed out the mindless nature of the protests.
"I have five or six players who are under 22 and if they can feel a negative vibe around the ground, it can get to the younger players. So I hope the fans realise we have a young side and are a little bit fragile, and I hope they get behind us."
It was even suggested in some quarters that the impressive results against two of the Premier League's biggest clubs would have displeased the protestors – by virtue of the points keeping Kean in a job.
"I wouldn't imagine any true supporter would want to see us get relegated," he said on that issue.
"If there is anybody in the stadium who is taking a bit of joy when we don't win or when we lose and that's their goal when they come to the ground, I wouldn't class them as supporters."
I fully agree with that; there are many words to describe those people and 'supporters' is definitely not one of them.
Debate goes on

I have many problems with the English Premier League, but the manner in which the games create and encourage debate is one thing that the J.League would do well to learn from.
Since I moved to Japan I have lost touch a little with the English Premier League. I keep up with the scores and bigger news stories but being 6,000 miles away I don't really feel like I am involved in the narrative of the season.
I wasn't really that much closer to the action when I lived back in Brighton as I played matches at weekends, but in England it is impossible to avoid the football.
And to be honest, I was actually getting a little tired of the overhyped Premier League and that was part of the reason that I developed an interest in the J.League.
One thing that I do really miss though is the coverage of the game on television, and the way in which everybody has – and is encouraged to have – an opinion.
An excellent case in point was provided by the Newcastle v. Arsenal game on the first day of the season, which I watched in the pub with a group of friends.
While the match failed to live up to the previous fixture between the sides – Arsenal unbelievably threw away a 4-0 lead to draw 4-4 at St. James' Park last season – it more than delivered when it came to talking points.
First of all Newcastle's Joey Barton – a player who is never far away from trouble – had his leg stamped on by Arsenal's Alex Song, something that the referee didn't see but the TV cameras did.
The real excitement came about a quarter of an hour before full-time, though.
Barton was again the central figure, and after Arsenal's new striker Gervinho flung himself to the turf in a bid to win a penalty the midfielder dragged him up by the scruff of the neck before finding himself on the ground after he was struck on the head.
The pub was instantly ablaze with discussion, abuse and laughter as replays showed from multiple angles that Barton had barely been touched and that mere seconds after being outraged by an overreaction to gain an advantage he had done the same thing.
He was variously described as clever, a cheat, an idiot and a range of things far too colourful for me to write here as Gervinho received his marching orders.
Then, in the post-match interviews players and coaches from both sides were asked about the incident and the pundits in the studio further analysed the situation.
This is something that just doesn't happen in Japan, where controversial incidents are hardly ever given airtime.
After the live broadcast had concluded it was over to 'Match of the Day', the BBC's trademark highlights show, by which time the debate had taken on a far more inclusive edge as Barton himself had now been commenting on the incident via his Twitter account.
The game had ended 0-0, but whereas in Japan that would almost certainly condemn the coverage to a 10-second clip of a wayward shot by one of the clubs' national team players, 15 minutes of highlights and analysis took place, during which it was agreed that most of the individuals involved in the melee were partly at fault.
The J.League is obviously hesitant to draw attention to any of the negative aspects of its game (mistakes by officials, cheating, violence – of which there are plenty) but I think it is misguided in thinking that airing them will detract from the image of the game.
Fans want to be entertained and footballers embarrassing themselves by cheating is very entertaining. It can also be argued that the more airtime given to bad sportsmanship the less likely players are to try and get away with it – although I'm not so sure about that.
Barton didn't seem to mind that his integrity was being called into question, and was more than happy to take part in the interactive culture of English football, tweeting just before the programme began, "Right, off now to watch MOTD, its what sat nights are all about."
In England it's not just Saturday nights when opinions about football are aired though, and the J.League could learn a thing or two from English coverage of the beautiful (and sometimes ugly) game.
Timing key for Kawashima

Eiji Kawashima understandably wants to move up a level after an impressive season with Lierse SK in the Belgian First Division. As a 'keeper being Number 1 at a lesser club is usually preferable to being Number 2 at a bigger one though…
During the Kirin Cup I attended several Japan training sessions and while everyone else was busying themselves with notes on 3-4-3 and Zac's stop-start efforts to get the players to understand the tricky new formation, my gaze was drawn to the other end of the pitch where the goalkeepers were being put through their paces by Maurizio Guido.
It wasn't only Signor Guido's enthusiastic motivational cries that drew me to his session though, with Japan's No. 1 Eiji Kawashima giving as good as he got.
Something I have noticed in Japan is the relative lack of verbal communication on the pitch. There may be the odd call here and there but the players generally move about almost silently, seemingly relying on little more than telepathic understanding or by following the routines practiced in training to the letter.
The former Kawasaki Frontale stopper was flinging himself about his six-yard box, yelling with every step, dive and catch though, and the concentration on his face was no different to that seen during matches.
Being so vocal is an absolutely vital aspect of goalkeeping, something that the Chelsea and Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech made clear after his side's clash with the Samurai Blue at Nissan Stadium.
"You need to communicate with everybody around," he said, "because a big part of goalkeeping is to be able to organize people in front of you."
Kawashima can certainly do this, and even in training he is anything but easy on those in front of him, constantly barking orders to get his defence in line and hassling Akihiro Ienaga for being too far forward in his new role as a defensive-midfielder.
The 28-year-old's rapid progression over the past 12 months has unsurprisingly led to rumours of a switch to a bigger European league, with West Bromwich Albion of the Premier League his most likely destination.
Whereas outfield players can usually play in a couple of positions and be broken in gradually with substitute appearances though, this is not an option for goalkeepers. The only way they can retain their sharpness, and confidence, is by being between the posts every week.
Cech, again, had wise words to say on the matter, pointing out that a reserve goalkeeper's chances are not only determined by their form, but also that of their rival for the jersey.
"I think it's always better when you start as Number 1 and then you can take it from there and keep your position in the goal. If you start as Number 2 then obviously it's more difficult, it doesn't all really depend only on you it depends on the other goalkeeper as well."
While a certain amount of time adapting can be afforded, too long sitting on the bench will not only harm his form but may also call his place in the national team into question, then, and Alberto Zaccheroni will certainly have a keen interest in his goalkeeper's next move, with Eiji having been an integral part of the Italian's unbeaten start at the helm of the national team.
The man himself is more than aware of this, but concedes that if he wants to play at the highest level he may have to take a little bit of a gamble.
"For me, always, it's really important to play. Always," he said after the Czech game. "Of course, I know the Premier League is a really higher level than the others, but I think I can try."
"It depends on the situation. Even if I'm the second goalkeeper if there is a possibility to become the first, of course I can try."
Cech agrees that a lot can be learned on the training pitch too, but maintains that too long away from the pitch can be detrimental to a goalkeeper's career.
"It will be another experience, already being there and working every day with a team which plays Premier League."
"You can learn always by watching as well but, as I said, if you hope to be always playing for the national team, of course it's better when you play."
Eiji must be careful then, and must make sure that he chooses the right club at the right time.

Soy Protein Used in "Natural" Foods Bathed in Toxic Solvent Hexane
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) Virtually all "protein bars" on the market today are made with soy protein. Many infant formula products are also made with soy protein, and thousands of vegetarian products (veggie burgers, veggie cheese, "natural" food bars, etc.) are made with soy protein. That soy protein is almost always described as safe and "natural" by the companies using it. But there's a dirty little secret the soy product industry doesn't want you to know: Much of the "natural" soy protein used in foods today is bathed in a toxic, explosive chemical solvent known as hexane.
To determine the true extent of this hexane contamination, NaturalNews joined forces with the Cornucopia Institute (www.Cornucopia.org) to conduct testing of hexane residues in soy meal and soy grits using FDA-approved and USDA-approved laboratories. The Cornucopia Institute performed the bulk of this effort, and NaturalNews provided funding to help cover laboratory costs.
The results proved to be worrisome: Hexane residues of 21ppm were discovered in soy meal commonly used to produce soy protein for infant formula, protein bars and vegetarian food products.
These laboratory results appear to indicate that consumers who purchase common soy products might be exposing themselves (and their children) to residues of the toxic chemical HEXANE -- a neurotoxic substance produced as a byproduct of gasoline refining.
But how dangerous is hexane, exactly? Is it something that could be dangerous at a few parts per million? And which soy-based products on the market right now might be contaminated with hexane?
To answer these questions, NaturalNews looked into public documents surrounding Martek Biosciences Corporation, a company that manufactures DHA for infant formula, using hexane for extraction.
We found disturbing details about Martek, including a documented explosion in the wastewater treatment system downstream from the manufacturing plant. This explosion was caused by hexane pollution.
We also found documents revealing Martek's application for permission to pollute hexane into the environment, as well as a planned emission cap that would put the company just under the limit for being considered a "major polluter" of Hazardous Air Pollutants.
Additional documents reveal concerning information about the safety of Martek's oils used in infant formula. All this information is being released in tomorrow's feature story on NaturalNews, so be sure to check back to read that. The remainder of this story focuses on the use of hexane in soy products.
What you probably never knew about Hexane extraction
To learn more about the use of hexane in the health industry -- and in soy products in particular -- we turn to the Cornucopia Institute's recently-published report called Behind the Bean (http://www.cornucopia.org/2009/05/soy-report...)
This report contains some of the most shocking information you've probably ever read about the possible dangers of this chemical solvent used in the processing of soy. Here are some highlights of what it explains about hexane: (Quotation marks indicate exact verbiage from the Behind the Bean report.)
• Hexane is a petroleum chemical produced as a by-product of gasoline refining.
• "Hexane is used to process nearly all conventional soy protein ingredients and edible oils and is prohibited when processing organic foods."
• Soybeans are bathed in hexane as part of their processing by food manufacturers.
• "Hexane is a neurotoxic chemical that poses serious occupational hazards to workers, is an environmental air pollutant, and can contaminate food."
• Hexane has been detected as a chemical contaminant in soy-based foods.
• There is no requirement that food companies test their products for hexane residues (including soy-based infant formula).
• Soy protein isolate and texturized soy protein (TVP) are made using hexane baths.
• "The soy protein ingredients in most nonorganic foods such as vegetarian burgers and nutrition bars are processed with the use of hexane."
• Shocker: "Products such as Clif Bars with the label "made with organic oats and soybeans" are required by law to have 70% organic ingredients -- the remaining 30%, however, can legally be hexane extracted."
Soybean processing releases hexane into the environment
Perhaps one of the most shocking realizations in all this is that soybean processing facilities release huge amounts of hexane chemicals into the environment. It is an unavoidable part of the hexane extraction process, and right now tens of millions of pounds of hexane are being released into the atmosphere each year by soy processing companies like Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill.
Here are more startling facts about the release of hexane chemicals by soybean processing facilities: (cited from Behind the Bean by the Cornucopia Institute) (http://www.cornucopia.org/2009/05/soy-report...) (Quotation marks indicate a direct quotation from the Cornucopia Institute's report. Non-quotation marks indicate paraphrasing of this source.)
• Soybean processing plants release hexane into both the air and water.
• Hexane is considered by the EPA to be a hazardous air pollutant. It defines this as airborne compounds "that cause or may cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental and ecological effects."
• "In 2007, the last year for which data is available from the EPA Toxics Release Inventory, grain processors were responsible for more than two-thirds of all hexane emissions in the United States, releasing 21 million pounds of this hazardous air pollutants."
• A soy processing facility owned by Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur Illinois reportedly released almost 2 million pounds of hexane into the environment in a single year! Each year in Illinois, ADM, Cargill, Bunge and other companies release nearly 5 million pounds of hexane into the environment.
• "Solae, a major supplier of soy protein ingredients found in vegetarian burgers, energy bars, and other "all-natural" foods, emitted nearly one million pounds of hexane, as a pollutant, from its factories in Ohio and Illinois. Its plant in Bellevue, Ohio, is the nation's seventh largest emitter of hexane, releasing more of this hazardous air pollutant than other major sources such as Exxon Mobil's oil refinery plant in Baytow, Texas, and Firestone's tire factory in Orange, Texas."
• "On August 29, 2003, two workers died when hexane gas in a Sioux City, Iowa, soybean processing plant ignited."
• Hexane explosions have occurred in Italy, Mexico (200 dead) and South Africa, often killing or injuring chemical plant workers.
• In 2001, a truck carrying 4,500 gallons of hexane caught fire and exploded, injuring the truck driver and setting fire to nearby homes.
• Hexane also poses a serious health danger to workers: "Workers who come in dermal (skin) contact with hexane experience immediate irritation characterized by erythema and hyperemia, and they develop blisters after several hours."
• According to The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the permissible exposure level of hexane is 500 parts per million (ppm) for workers with 8-hour exposures. Exposures of 800 ppm for 15 minutes can cause respiratory tract and eye irritation, as well as symptoms of carnosis. At higher exposure levels, workers can develop symptoms of nausea, vertigo and headaches.
• "Workers who are chronically exposed to hexane levels ranging from 400 to 600 ppm, with occasional exposures of up to 2,500 ppm, have developed polyneuropathy, a neurological disorder. In these cases, distal symmetrical muscle weakness is common, and nerve biopsies show nerve damage. A recently published peer-reviewed article in Environmental Health Perspectives hypothesizes that occupational exposure to hexane may contribute to the development of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, a disease that causes loss of vision. Chronic exposure may also lead to blurred vision, restricted visual field, and optic nerve atrophy." (Read more details in Behind the Bean at http://www.cornucopia.org/2009/05/soy-report...
• Almost no research has been done to test the toxicity of hexane residues in foods -- not on adults, nor infants.
• "According to EPA reports, small quantities of solvent (up to 0.2 percent by volume of oil) can be present in oil after extraction, even after solvent recovery by film evaporators and a distillation stripper. A Swiss team of scientists tested various oils and found hexane residues in some of the tested oils."
• Test results from the Cornucopia Institute's lab tests (funded in part by NaturalNews): < 10 ppm hexane residues in soy oil. Soy meal: 21 ppm hexane residues. Soy grits: 14 ppm hexane residues.
• "Most soy-based infant formulas contain ingredients that have been hexane extracted. In fact, nearly every major ingredient in conventional soy-based infant formula is hexane extracted."
How can you protect yourself and your children from hexane?
As these laboratory tests reveal, hexane residues may be alarmingly widespread across the "natural" foods industry. In fact, as the Cornucopia Institute reports:
"...hexane-extracted soy protein is found in the vast majority of nonorganic foods with soy ingredients that appeal to health-conscious, environmentally conscious, and vegetarian consumers. For example, Gardein� is a Canadian company that produces meat analogs -- soy-based "chicken" and soy-based "beef" -- for brands and private labels including Yves Cuisine�, Morningstar Farms�, Trader Joe's, and It's All Good Foods�, and for grocery store prepared foods departments such as Whole Foods. While the company describe its process for making these meat analogs as "pure and simple," it does not mention that it starts with hexane-extracted soy protein."
In the United States, there is currently only one way of knowing for sure that the soy-based foods you purchase is free of hexane contaminants: Look for the green USDA Organic seal on the package:
• Beware of claims of "natural" soy -- Even hexane-extracted soy can be called "natural."
• Beware of claims of "made with organic soy" -- Such products may still contain non-organic soy-based ingredients extracted with hexane.
• Beware of "veggie" products containing texturized vegetable protein. Many of these products not only likely contain hexane chemical residues; they also are usually made with yeast extract, a flavoring ingredient that contains MSG, a neurotoxin. (Imagine the impact of these two neurotoxins in combination...)
• Don't feed your infant soy protein. Instead, opt for human breast milk (the best option), or goat's milk formulas such as Genesis Organics (www.GenesisOrganics.com).
The bottom line - the Health Ranger's opinion
From my point of view, these highly disturbing findings about hexane residues appearing in processed soy products just confirm what we've known about these food conglomerates for a long time: Big food companies are serving up poison to infants, teens, adults and senior citizens.
Not only are these food companies bathing their soy products in a neurotoxic chemical, the FDA is once again asleep at the wheel, allowing dangerous chemicals to remain prevalent in the food supply while doing virtually nothing to warn consumers or ban the toxic chemical from soy product processing.
Thus, We the People once again find ourselves in the position of being poisoned by the food companies and betrayed by the FDA. If that sounds familiar, it's because this has happened again and again with toxic ingredients ranging from monosodium glutamate and aspartame to sodium nitrite and petrochemical food colorings.
Big Food and the FDA, in fact, almost appear to be conspiring to poison the population... which just happens to create a windfall of profits for Big Pharma -- the other corporate master of the FDA.
It's a clever scam: Poison the people with hidden chemicals in the food supply, then when their organs start to fail, drug them on monopoly-priced pharmaceuticals. Meanwhile, the FDA enforces the whole thing by outlawing real food (like raw almonds or raw organic cow's milk), thereby forcing people to eat chemically-contaminated processed food.
To put icing on the (processed) cake, the FDA allows these companies using toxic chemicals to claim their products are "natural." They even allow some health claims for companies using soy in their formulas -- even when that soy has been bathed in hexane!
Protect yourself from the toxicity of processed foods
There is no limit to the insanity of what goes into the food supply when profits are at stake, it seems. And this use of the toxic solvent hexane to process soy that's used in infant formula, protein bars and "veggie" products is yet another example of why it's smart to avoid nearly ALL factory-made foods, regardless of their health claims.
When you grow your own food (or just buy fresh produce and food staples) and prepare it in your own kitchen, you know what goes into it. You also know what's NOT in it (such as hexane or melamine). It's the only sure way to protect yourself and your family from the dangers of processed foods made by food commodity giants that are motivated by money, not concern for your health. In fact, the attitude about chemical contaminants by many U.S. food giants mirrors the attitude about melamine in infant formula as demonstrated by China's powdered milk manufacturers: "Ah, what's a little melamine gonna hurt anyway?"
But it does hurt. It hurts your health and harms your children. There are 10,000 children on dialysis machines in China who can prove it to you. And that's why, in my opinion, these companies using hexane-contaminated soy protein in their products deserve to be publicly exposed, heavily fined and perhaps even shut down and run out of business.
Why modern society looks the other way on chemical contamination of foods
Why are companies run out of business when salmonella is found in their peanut butter (for example), but when toxic chemical solvents are found in their soy proteins, the mainstream media says nothing, the FDA does nothing, and the whole world pretends it's all just business as usual?
I'll tell you why. There is an irrational, false belief that continues to permeate society today, and it's founded in the lies of Scientism and the reductionist approach to western thinking. That false belief is that chemicals are good for you, but bacteria are bad for you.
This is the whole thinking behind the widespread use of antibiotics (which actually promote hospital superbugs) and the mass fumigation of California almonds (just to make sure they're no longer RAW). It's the reason why raw milk is outlawed, but chemically-contaminated soy milk is legal. It's the reason why the FDA views the food supply as safe only if it's sterile. It's the big lie about food safety, and virtually every mainstream newspaper, TV station and journalist buys into it.
They think salmonella is deadly dangerous, but MSG, aspartame and sodium nitrite are just fine. They believe in the lie that chemicals are safe as long as the FDA doesn't say anything against them!
But it's hogwash. A sterile food supply is a dead food supply. And dead foods don't keep people alive for very long. Hence the slow, torturous death of our aging population. Our people are not living longer; they're dying longer!
I say this: We are headed for a disastrous collapse of public health stemming from the mass chemical contamination of the food supply and the genetic alteration of the human population. I've covered this in a video report called Genopocalypse which you can watch for free as a promo to TheBestDayEver.com. Check it out here: http://www.thebestdayever.com/healthranger/
In the mean time, avoid all soy products that are not labeled USDA Organic, and don't feed yourself or your babies processed soy protein bathed in toxic hexane.

Starring: Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Russell Crowe,
Director: Alex Kurtzman
I want to like anything that Tom Cruise does, because I really like him. He's been a huge force in cinema my whole life, and some of his films are amongst my favourites. In more recent years, his feels like he does more action than drama, but it's been a long time since I've seen him in a fantasy or adventure type film. Here he stars in a film that's a remake of The Mummy, not the recent Brendan Fraser outings, but the original films that did so well from the 30's to the 50's.
It sounds like a great concept, but the issue is that franchises are so attractive to Hollywood these days that rather than make a film based on the old stories of ancient Egyptian curses and daring explorers, it focuses more on creating a franchise world. At the expense of story and character development.
Tom Cruise is Nick, a morally ambiguous fortune hunter who finds and sells artifacts on the black market. When he accidentally uncovers a mysterious tomb, he unlocks a curse and releases an ancient evil, but Jenny (Wallis), an archaeologist, is on hand to rein him in and help him life the curse. In the background, A mysterious man (Crowe) is the head of an even more mysterious organisation that may be able to help him, or may have it's own agenda…
Sofia Boutella plays the evil mummy, and although her costume design is quite striking, she feels… well, like a lot of things in this film, there's not a lot of tombs and iconography. It doesn't really have that Egyptian vibe, which was a real shame for me because I love that stuff. It just feels like a creature feature.
There are some good set pieces in this film, some action, and as we know by now, Tom Cruise is good at that stuff. But while he's meant to have a love/hate thing with the girl and banter with a sidekick, there's nothing there really. There's no chemistry between any of the actors, and their dialogue doesn't really leap off the page and help them out. It all just feels rather flat.
I feel like that's a problem with a lot of franchise films:they're so busy thinking about the next film and setting up things that they forget to tell us an entertaining story now. So it's flawed and doesn't really gel, disappointing on the whole, but personally,… the real kicker for me is that there's barely anything of Ancient Egypt in this films style or story.
And be prepared for more creature features as the Dark Universe films start to be rolled out.
See It If: you are looking for a fantasy/action film, or love Tom Cruise. It lacks meat, but has some entertaining moments.

I still preferred the old Brendan Fraser films for the THE MUMMY SERIES, though Tom Cruise is perhaps a better choice for the leading man. John Hannah's character and performance was superb in the Fraser series – stole the show.

Fantastic Review!

I actually liked the first Brendan Fraser "Mummy" film. The special effects were good for its time and the story had a fun, throwback feel like they were trying to conjure "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
Yes, I totally agree. Both were drawing on old adventure films from the 1920s and 1930s. Serial films.
This version is actually drawn from later cinema, from monster movies from the 40s and 50s, so nothing to do with the old Brendan Fraser Mummy films. I think they should have used a different title to avoid that confusion.
disperser says:
Second on the first "Mummy" film. Still a fun one to watch. I think Benny made that movie better than it would have otherwise been.
Sadly, the rest of the movies in the series ended up on the wrong side of the river.
I think the new mummy movies, need more undead mummy animals, it lacked anything from cats to dogs, the orginal mummy movie showed us he was afraid of cats, but in the new movie their was not even one cat in it that I can memory otherwise again it was an great movie, but lacked undead mummy pets stuff like that maybe added to next movie, it had a lot of birds, but most people don't own birds as pets, since some types of birds are mean to people, I think dogs and cats are more common even for Egyptians or Egyptian mummy's , again I had a blast seeing this movie, it was Great 🙂
Great Movie, really like it saw the movie today at the theaters , had a lot of action, I think it could of used some sort of chase seen besides when he run from the mummy in a car, I hope in the second movie if they have one, he gets to race against the mummy in chariot racing around the Nile River, maybe something like that, I had a dream once that I was in an old style chariot race with horses , you know in the dream wearing sandile shoes and think either I used the back of my Sandals Shoes to stop the chariot or I feel off the chariot in my dream since at that point I had woken up from the dream , sorry that offtopic,
I hope the next movie could have an chariot race with horses around the egyptian nile river like they may of done in the old days, but him again her in an chariot race with horses or undead mummy horses, I think that may be an great idea for it, again I loved this movie 🙂
Well, this is one that I missed in the theatres, because quite frankly there is so much on offer these days, that I honestly can't go to everything lol 😊 It's not a big surprise this review though. This film has so far been receiving pretty negative buzz, and while I never let myself be guided solely by that, I did already lower my expectations for this one. I still will see it when it's out on dvd as I am a Tom cruise fan, and as you say there are bound to be a couple of interesting things featured in it.
I know! It's my job and I can't even see everything! lol. Yes, I lowered my expectations too, based on everyone's critical responses. But you never know, right? I'm a Tom Cruise fan too.
Damien Riley says:
Very diplomatic 🙂 I myself have not yet seen this but the reviews aren't helping me go see it either!
This is so disappointing to me. I had such high hopes for this movie, for the whole franchise really. I will still watch it but probably on Netflix eventually
Yeah, I think watching on Netflix is a good thing, rather than paying for a ticket, but I was the same. I love this kind of movie normally.
Gotta love Netflix
Ally L. Mare says:
Personally I did not enjoy this movie at all. The action was good but that's it. Quite disappointed for this one but still looking forward for the next movie.
It had so much potential… I wonder where they're going to go with it next?

Moving Indonesian research forward with more private sector support: lessons from Germany

Limited support from industrial players contributes to Indonesia's poor research development. In some countries, private firms play a key role in developing a country's research industry, by providing either research funds or market access for innovative research results.
Germany is one such country with an advanced research landscape due partly to strong support from private industry.
This article aims to analyse the research landscape in Indonesia and Germany and how the former can learn from the latter to get more support from private companies.
Research in Indonesia
Indonesia has never made research a top priority. The meagre allocation for research in the national budget reflects this.
The administration of Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has increased the research budget to 0.2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017, or around Rp24.9 trillion (US$1.7 billion).
"It is the highest in our history. Previously, our research budget was only at 0.09% of the country's GDP," the director of research and public engagement at the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Ocky Karna Radjasa, said in an interview.
Despite this increase, the country's research budget is still among the lowest globally.
Even in the Southeast Asia region, Indonesia is behind Malaysia and Vietnam. Recent data show Thailand allocated 0.5% of its GDP for research and Vietnam set aside 0.4%.
The Indonesian government has yet to realise its promise to increase the research budget to more than 1% of GDP.
To develop research in Indonesia, the government has set up an endowment fund of Rp990 billion. The fund is allocated outside the state budget.
Private sector support is still limited. This is due to the lack of incentives, relevant policies and awareness of the need for research among industrial players.
Ocky said the contribution from private companies stood at around Rp6 trillion, or around 20% of total research spending in Indonesia.
"In other countries, it is the opposite. Research funding from the private sector accounts for 80%, while the government only provides 20%," he said.
Germany is one of the countries with a robust research landscape. It is also one of the countries that invest the most in research and development. The latest publication from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) states that this investment was around 90.3 billion euros in 2015 – around 2.9% of its GDP. This places Germany among the world's top 10 countries in terms of research spending.
The most fascinating aspect of German's research industry is the huge support from the private sector. In 2015, investment by industrial players accounted for almost 70% of the total investment.
Big companies have participated in developing research in Germany. They usually fund projects in universities or research institutions to develop products that can improve their business.
A recent publication titled The German Research Landscape by DAAD states that the biggest investors in research come from the German automotive industry. They invested almost 22 billion euros.
"There are no regulations that oblige businesses to invest in research. The big companies invest willingly so they can be more competitive and successful," DAAD's team leader for publications and press relations, Ruth Andre, said in an email.
A research associate at the German Institute for Economic Research, Heike Belitz, said the huge support from the private sector was "a result of a diverse national innovation system".
The system is run with strong support from key stakeholders in the German research sector. These are universities and non-university research institutions with financial support from not only private firms but also federal or state authorities.
"Direct government support for R&D (research and development), mostly in the form of project funding, is only one important element of this innovation ecosystem," Belitz explained.

Why is support from private sector important?
A researcher at SMERU Research Institute, Rendy A. Diningrat, said private companies need to be more involved in developing the research industry in Indonesia.
Researching on human development and public policy, Rendy argued that involving industrial players in research will bring high-quality research to the market.
"These firms are the ones that really know what the public want. By collaborating with them, we can do research that can really answer what the public needs," he said.
However, he admitted that not many companies were willing to invest in research.
"It is important to also improve their awareness on the importance of conducting research for their business," he said.
Research, Rendy said, can ensure the sustainability of a company both in the short and long terms. And collaborating with the government can also create opportunities for companies to discuss policies with impacts on their businesses.
The statistics show that countries with advanced research industries are the ones with huge support from private industry. Almost 80% of research investment by the top three research spenders (South Korea, Israel and Japan) is from private companies.
How to gain more support from private companies
The common practice to lure private companies to invest in research is by offering them tax deductions. This means they can reduce their tax in return for their investment in research and development.
Countries like the UK and France have offered these tax deductions.
However, some doubt its effectiveness, including Belitz.
"In countries with substantial tax incentives (such as France and the UK), companies' R&D spending relative to economic output has not increased any faster than in countries with no tax incentives at all (such as Germany)," Belitz said.
In her research, Belitz suggested giving the tax incentives to small and medium enterprises only.
"This is still being discussed," she said.
Rendy acknowledged that tax deductions might be the most practical way to lure companies to invest more in research. However, it might not be the best.
In Indonesia's case, he believes that collaboration is the key to encourage more support from the private sector for research and development. Not only will these companies work together with the government but they can collaborate in similar research fields.
"Under this collaboration, e-commerce firms can chip in to support certain research projects that are related to their business," he said.
The Conversation Indonesia was invited to participate in the "Research in Germany" press tour sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) last October.

In the African worldview, dance is a conduit of individual and community healing. African conceptualizations of illness and health integrate social, spiritual, physical and mental realms all of which are impacted by trauma.
This film reveals the healing ritual called the N'Deup Healing Ceremony. Every gesture has a meaning: the dances, the millet, the beat of the drums together with the litanies pronounced by the priestess. In the indigenous belief system it is known that the family and community collaborate with the N'Deupkaat to heal the patient.
This is a rare opportunity to witness and learn about the healing ceremony that very few outsiders have been privileged to witness.


China is "available to support sustainable development" in São Tomé and Príncipe through cooperation in the areas of "infrastructure, tourism and agriculture," said the new Chinese ambassador, Wang Wei, who on Thursday began his diplomatic mission in the São Tomé capital. At the end of the accreditation ceremony chaired by the President of the Republic, Wang Wei stressed that "the Chinese government is willing to contribute to the transformation of São Tomé and Príncipe. The representative of Beijing, referring to financial support of US$146 million that China will grant to the African country, said that "this will certainly be in two parts, one part in technical assistance, the other part in investment." This Chinese donation was announced a little over a month ago by the São Tomé and Príncipe prime minister after a visit to China, where he signed a general cooperation agreement, which included a pardon of São Tomé and Príncipe's debt estimated at US$28 million. Wang Wei, who was already working as Chargé d'Affaires in São Tomé and Príncipe, was previously assigned to the Chinese embassies in Brazil, Angola and Macau, in addition to having served in the Latin American and Caribbean Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing.


There is no need for ANY cuts to public spending; no need to decimate public services; no need for unemployment or pay and pension cuts; no need for Austerity and privatisation. There IS an alternative.
We need a government to reverse damaging austerity, and replace it with a new set of policies providing us with a fair, sustainable and secure future. We can no longer tolerate politicians looking out for themselves and for the rich and powerful. Our political representatives must start governing in the interests of the majority.

Q: Reload datatable without reloading page? How do I reload the datatable without reloading the entire page? I want it to get the new values from "AllSales". I am also using jquery plugin "datatable" for my table.
   $("#SalesTable").dataTable();

Here is my table :

                                Date
                                Email

                          <% {
                                foreach (var item in AllSales)
                                {
                                   %>

                                     <%=item.Date %>
                                     <%=item.Email%>

                                <%}
                            }
                         %>

A: Grab the data using ajax, throw it into an object and dynamically change the content of your datatable based on the object.  It's been years since I've used any .net languages, so I can't write you an example in asp.

var tbodyData;
var post = $.ajax({
 url: "someurl.asp",
 type: "POST",
 data: {"some data"},
 success: function() {
  var object = post.responseText;
  object.parseJSON();
  for (data in object) {
   tbodyData += "
" + object[data] + "
\n";
  }
  $("datatable").html(tbodyData);
 }
});

Something like that should do it.
