Preserving National Heritage: Kazakh Citizens Abroad Study Indigenous Language and Culture
By Michelle A. Butler on	 December 31, 2021 Ethnic language
NUR-SULTAN – The non-commercial Otandastar Foundation, which supports ethnic Kazakhs living abroad who wish to return to the country, has opened 31 online Kazakh language courses for Kazakh citizens living abroad, the ministry reports Kazakh Information and Social Development.
According to unofficial expert opinion, about seven or eight million Kazakhs live abroad. Photo credit: zen.yandex.ru
About five million ethnic Kazakhs live abroad. With this initiative in place, nearly 1,400 representatives of the Kazakh diaspora in Turkey, Russia, United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, France, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Mongolia and Belarus have completed 780 online courses and 336 participants received certificates.
Some courses were held as a talk club in August and December, while 30 online courses were posted on YouTube to allow people to learn the Kazakh language at their own pace and at any time.
These online courses are part of the country's efforts to strengthen cultural ties with its fellow citizens and preserve their cultural heritage.

This year, the Kazakh embassies organized various events, online and offline, bringing together 4,500 Kazakh people from 20 countries.
It was in addition to a series of events dedicated to 30th anniversary of the independence of Kazakhstan. Several monuments to the great poet and founder of Kazakh written literature Abai Kunanbayev have been unveiled in Germany, South Korea, France, Turkey and Ukraine.
In addition to these events, Online Kazakhstan Film Week kicked off in London, the book "Kazakhstan at 30: The Awakening Great Steppe" was presented in UK, Kazakhstan's most famous chamber and instrumental ensemble Trio FORTE TRIO toured France, while Kazakh students studying in the Kaliningrad region of Russia represented the national flag with granite stones.

I was watching INE's EIGRP videos and it put an idea in my head about how it might be possible to use FPM to prevent the EIGRP reply from making it back and therefore forcing things into a SIA state. Since I was bored today (terrible weather out) I did that very thing!

Q: What do "it" and "which" refer to in this complex sentence?
Likewise, President Joe Biden's administration should aim to
target NASA's efforts at the things only it can bring about and for
which there is not already a market: high-risk scientific research.

This sentence is from here.
My questions:

*

*What does "it" stand for?

*What "which" refers to?

*How can I break it up to several short sentences?

*Are there any tools to help me understand complex sentences?

Thanks!

A:
Likewise, President Joe Biden's administration should aim to target NASA's efforts at the things [which] only it [NASA] can bring about and for which [things] there is not already a market: high-risk scientific research.

*

*So President Joe Biden's administration should use NASA for those things only NASA can do.

*There are two relatives modifying things: only it can bring about is a bare relative clause (in which the relative pronoun has been omitted). This bare relative modifies things and is connected with the second relative (for which there is not already a market) by and. This implies that the second relative modifies the same noun and that the referent of the pronoun which is things.

*Breaking it in shorter sentences can make it clearer but repetitive:

Likewise, President Joe Biden's administration should aim to target NASA's efforts at high-risk scientific research. Only NASA can bring about such things/ research. There is not already a market for high-risk scientific research.

I would have said not yet instead of not already though.

*Modern Grammars often analyse the structure of sentences. You this particular question should be asked on ELU Meta.

Andhra Pradesh: Opportunities & Challenges That Lie Ahead
"The making of a prosperous and above all joyful Andhra Pradesh is a sacred duty for all of us. Let us make it happen."
Sadhguru: When the Republic of India was formed and the states were reorganised, it happened by redrawing the geographical boundaries of different kingdoms along linguistic lines. Unfortunately, now, due to administrative inefficiencies or regional prejudices, further breaking up is happening. If states are to be further broken up, it should be done in a well thought-out way, mainly taking administrative efficiency into consideration. This means we are changing the fundamental idea behind the States Reorganization Act.
The bifurcation of Andhra, though a long-term demand, was done in a rush and it happened like a tear, not a bifurcation. But it has happened and there is no point looking back. We can only look forward.
The Major Hurdles
Having said that, Andhra Pradesh has come with a certain disadvantage, and the break-up of administration and resources has not happened the way it needs to happen for smooth transition. A certain level of handholding from the Central Government will be a must for the development of the state. There are no major cities – the largest city is Vishakapatnam, which is a port city – and they have to build a new capital, which is an enormous task. Though the Chief Minister is highly inspired and enthusiastic and is capable of bringing various partnerships to build the capital, it is still an onerous undertaking. A new capital will not happen just with office buildings. It needs educational institutions, cultural centers, arts and craft movements, spiritual centers, and many other elements which make a city a living city.
Above all, 40% of the land in the new state is in the Rayalseema region, which is a huge tract of land quite inhospitable for agriculture, with cyclones battering coastal Andhra and extreme heat – as we are witnessing, many lives were lost in this summer's heatwave.
But the leadership has tremendous resolve, and the Chief Minister has a wonderful team around him with officers of high integrity and commitment. I am not a fan of any political party or politician, but Chandrababu Naidu is a livewire. It was very pleasant to see a Chief Minister so committed and sharp on everything. I have not even seen corporate leaders coming to decisions that quickly and clearly. The commitment and vision with which this new state is being approached is quite impressive.
The most important thing that the leadership should not forget is, it is largely an agricultural community. It has never happened that agricultural communities have suddenly shifted to industry and succeeded. So the state had to focus in a big way on making agriculture into a profitable industry. The best collaborations in that sector would be with Japan and Israel, and the Chief Minister is rightly looking in those directions. This is the best choice to make.
A Challenge and an Opportunity
Can we implement everything that is being envisioned? This is India so it needs to be understood, the fundamental infrastructure and atmosphere is not there. Getting everyone on line and making it happen is still a lot of work. The leadership has a clear-cut plan how to take it there, but unless the people stand up and support it, it will not go there. A leader's business is to set the path and make the necessary arrangements. It is the people who have to ultimately walk the distance. To get that participation is the biggest challenge.
If the administration manages to get this participation from the people of Andhra Pradesh, this can be a landmark development in the country. This is a challenge, at the same time it is a tremendous possibility to create an entire new state as you envision it, rather than allow things to mushroom as they have in large parts of the country's development. Here, there is a possibility to create a well-planned structure because there is not too much on the ground.
In the interests of the Telugu people and in the larger interests of the nation, this must happen successfully. Isha Foundation is willing to cooperate in transforming these 5 crore people into a peaceful, competent and inspired population, which is very much needed to make this stupendous task before the administration into a reality.
In the making of a new state and the building of a new great city, many tough and painful decisions will have to be taken. I hope the various political groups and people at large will understand and appreciate the sacrifices that they will have to make in creating a state that the nation will be proud of. The participation of everyone – those in the political, administrative and academic spheres, and the common people – is important. This is not the time to play politics. All of us should learn that playing politics should be limited to three months before the elections. For the remaining years, it is our business to support whatever government we have elected.

A recent poll by the Royal Commonwealth Society has revealed significant support for free movement between the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The published results show that 75% of Canadians, 58% of Britons, 70% of Australians and 82% of New Zealanders support free mobility and reciprocal rights to live and work freely in each other's nations. This follows on from a poll conducted by CBC News of over 201,500 people, in which 91.8% of people polled supported free movement between the CANZUK countries, with only 5.5% opposing and 1.4% unsure.
Although we are delighted with the results, there is concern among our supporters regarding the new measures taking effect within the UK with respect to working rights for non-European Union citizens.
Public pressure within the UK has caused the current conservative government (led by David Cameron) to stem migration numbers, but because EU rules limit what the UK can do to curb migration from EU countries, restrictions have hit Commonwealth nations the hardest, including the recent National Health Service surcharge and the increased salary requirements for Tier 2 employer-sponsored skilled-worker visas with respect to permanent residency.
At the CFMO, we are working to not only remove these recently implemented measures, but campaigning with members of parliament across the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to gather support for the free movement campaign and emphasise the growing support for mobility between citizens of our four countries. We have already made significant progress in gathering support from MPs, and by the end of June 2016, will hope to have developed considerable headway within the four governments so as to begin implementing a strategy for a free movement initiative to be put into place.
Of course, Commonwealth free movement is a huge project requiring negotiation and agreement from all four CANZUK countries, but the campaign is gaining momentum on a daily basis, and by working with associated organisations and campaign groups, such as the Royal Commonwealth Society, we are confident that in time, the free movement of citizens between the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand will be agreed upon and implemented.
The poll results can be found here, with a report by Global News on the results found here.
⟵Why Just The Four CANZUK Countries?

Animals help boy find joy again after sudden loss of his father
by Emily Cook | Happy Tails | October 25, 2019
At only 10 years old, Colin's world was ripped apart by the sudden death of his father. School days became filled with outbursts, friends grew distant, and anger and panic became the only emotions he felt. No one seemed to understand him, or his struggle.
But someone noticed. His teacher, Mrs. Sima Craig, at Bishop Macdonnel Catholic School in Cornwall saw his daily struggle.
"You could see he was grieving. His behaviours in the classroom told me he was grieving," says Craig. "I ached for him to find solace somehow."
She pondered how to help him as she walked through the forest with dogs from the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre where she has been a volunteer for about five years. She began walking dogs each week when her family adopted a Pug-Chihuahua mix named Star. How could she say no to her daughter, who is now 12, when she wanted a dog so badly that she would go so far as to write to the Easter bunny to ask for a furry friend?
Wanting to give back, Craig and her family began volunteering at the animal centre, walking the dogs.
When Craig was speaking to Colin's mother after school one day, an invitation bubbled out of her mouth that neither of them knew at the time would have such a profound impact.
"On a whim I said, 'Do you think he would like to come and walk the dogs with me?'" Craig recalls. "For me, being in nature really helps. Being outside, being in the sunlight, seeing the trees; you kind of understand that you're part of something bigger in the universe. It's soothing. It doesn't fix all, but it soothes."
Sima and her dog.
The next week, Colin's mother dropped him off after school at the Ontario SPCA where he would join Craig as she walked dogs awaiting adoption. It wasn't perfect, Craig admits. They sometimes walked silently, with only the occasional exchange of words and the rustle of the leaves overhead breaking the quiet. But slowly, like seasons changing, Colin began to find meaning in those walks. And joy – sometimes at the expense of his teacher, like when the mud sucked off her boot, leaving her standing in the rain in her sock while Colin snickered at her misfortune.
"I think what he learned – and maybe I transposed from what I learned – is that the goal isn't to seek happiness," she reflects. "The goal is to seek meaning and he understood that meaningful events in our lives can be happy and unhappy. Perfection is not what we seek; it's to accept what's in front of us – you know, the dog that doesn't want to get the leash on, the rainy day, the mud – and still find a way to live and be in the moment."
He also learned to trust again. His teacher and the dogs at the Ontario SPCA were always right by his side, never judging, always accepting him unconditionally.
"he discovered that those dogs, too, were abandoned."
"He will never have his father back in a physical sense and he was very, very angry. He felt abandoned," Craig says. "I was there every Tuesday, the dogs were there every Tuesday and he discovered that those dogs, too, were abandoned. They were rescued and they're still joyful. They want to go out for their walk. They want to be outside. They want to live."

Before long, Colin was telling other kids at school of his adventures with the dogs. It wasn't long before other students were asking if they could come along. Many, she notes, were grasping to come to terms with their own life struggles.
In the woods with the dogs, the children quickly became good friends and anything seemed possible. Many didn't have pets, most had never volunteered before and few had the opportunity to just go outside and explore nature. They started dreaming of careers in conservation, forestry, advocacy and, in the case of Colin who inspired these transformative walks, veterinary medicine.
"Only when he was in nature with the dogs was his spirit at rest," Craig says. "It was the only time you could see he was not hyper vigilant. The rest of the time he was expecting someone to be hurt somehow."
Craig is a firm believer in the healing power of animals, and the transformative power of nature. Pairing them together helped Colin make sense of his life. No longer feeling isolated and marginalized, he has made new friends, discovered a love of animals and gained the self-respect that gave him the confidence to join a martial arts club.
"I don't know what track he's on, but he's unstuck," says Craig. "Stuck is worse than being on the wrong track. When we are stuck there are no alternatives – you're not living your life. It's the pause button on your player; there is no music."

Q: Avoiding broker roundtrip for recursive topology I have a tree of configs where each node can have arbitrary properties attached.
The idea behind the tree is that properties of these tree nodes are derived from the parent node to the children nodes within the tree. Child properties with the same name overwrite the ones aggregated so far from the parent up to the root node.
The goal is to generate aggregated maps of these config properties. Whenever any node in the tree gets an update all merged configs of its children and (grand children, and so on) shall be recalculated.
This is the topology I came up with and it works hoever I feel it's not optimal because the merged configs get first pushed up to the broker and then read back as input before being processed.
Is there a better way of achiving my goal?
Is it possible to put all merged configs into a local state store and convert that into a KTable that I could use for the KTable-KTable-FK join?
Here is my code:
    data class Config(
        val id: String,
        val parentId: String?,
        var properties: Map<String, Any>,
        val eventDate: Int,
    )

    data class MergedConfig(
        val id: String,
        val parentId: String?,
        var properties: Map<String, Any>,
        val eventDate: Int,
    )

    private fun joinConfigWithParentConfig(): BiFunction<KStream<String, Config>, KTable<String, MergedConfig>, KStream<String, MergedConfig>> {
        return BiFunction<KStream<String, Config>, KTable<String, MergedConfig>, KStream<String, MergedConfig>> { configStream, mergedConfigTable ->
            val splitConfigStream =
                configStream
                    .repartition(Repartitioned.with(Serdes.String(), configSerde))
                    .split(Named.`as`("split-"))
                    .branch({ key, configEvent -> configEvent.parentId == null }, Branched.`as`("root"))
                    .branch({ key, configEvent -> configEvent.parentId != null }, Branched.`as`("children"))
                    .noDefaultBranch()

            // a stream, that will only contain the "merged" Config for the root
            val onlyRootStream = splitConfigStream["split-root"]!!
                .mapValues { key, value ->
                    MergedConfig(
                        value.id,
                        value.parentId,
                        value.properties,
                        time++
                    )
                }

            // a table that contains any incoming children within the tree, except the root
            val childrenTable = splitConfigStream["split-children"]!!.toTable()

            // joining only children with their merged parent config
            val mergedChildrenConfigTable = childrenTable.join(
                mergedConfigTable,
                { childConfig -> childConfig.parentId },
                { childConfig, mergedParentConfig ->
                    MergedConfig(
                        childConfig.id,
                        childConfig.parentId,
                        mergedParentConfig.properties + childConfig.properties, // merge config maps
                        time++
                    )
                }
            )

            // merge root and mergedChildren
            val mergedConfigStream = mergedChildrenConfigTable
                .toStream()
                .merge(onlyRootStream)
                .repartition(Repartitioned.with(Serdes.String(), mergedConfigSerde))

            mergedConfigStream

    }


When you're planning a trip, the expense of hotel rooms can blow the budget in no time. A little creativity and know-how can go a long way in getting you a discounted rate though, and there are many ways to save big on accommodations. If you're traveling with a pet, always check ahead to see if the hotel you're booking welcomes furry guests.
During peak seasons, hotel rates are likely to be at their highest. This might mean expensive rooms during ski season in Colorado or sky-high rates in Florida during spring break. Planning your trip for the low season is likely to save you lots of money. In some places, the off season may have other benefits, such as smaller crowds. Many places also have unique draws during slow periods; a busy ski resort makes a great place to hike in the late spring, for example.
Instead of booking a hotel room through a travel website, call directly during standard business hours, which are usually from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and try to speak with a manager. Unlike regular employees, managers often have the power to bargain on the price of a room, and perhaps authorize a lower rate for shrewd potential customers. Smarter Travel recommends having the rates of competing hotels ready so you can make a quick comparison, and always maintaining a friendly demeanor.
New hotels, or those who've changed their brand affiliations, often offer discounted room rates as a means of finding new and loyal customers. Seek out new hotels, and check out the websites of major hotel chains to see where they're adding new additions. Ask about special deals and promotions on rooms for potentially big savings.
A hotel smack-dab in the middle of downtown in your destination city might be nice, but it's also likely to cost more. Explore staying a little farther afield to save money. If the locale you're visiting has good public transportation or if you're renting a car, staying a little outside the heart of the action shouldn't be a problem. Also, a hotel room away from the city center is likely to be a little more quiet if relaxation is one of your goals.
Business hotels may be a little dull, but depending on when you book a stay, they can offer great discounts. Many business hotels are filled with conferences and professionals on work trips during the week. On Friday and Saturday, they have a glut of open rooms, which are often available at reduced rates. Some business hotels are also located in prime locations, near city centers or major sites, making them convenient in addition to wallet-friendly.
Before you book a hotel room, ask about discounts available to members of certain clubs, organizations and even age brackets. Some hotels may offer cheaper rates to senior citizens or those holding a student ID card. Others might knock down the price for employees of sister companies or members of an organization such as AAA, veterans or active duty members of the military -- so don't hesitate to ask what offers are available.


In 1899, the London School of Tropical Medicine was founded. At the time, the school was at the Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital. Its mission was to teach doctors tropical medicine to be capable of treating British personnel working abroad.
In 1920, the school, along with the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, moved to Endsleigh Gardens and in 1924, the school was granted a Royal Charter. At this point, the school became the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, as it is entitled today. The school moved once more, in 1929, to Gower street, where it is located today.
Today, the school is a part of the University of London, thus students graduating from their programs obtain a degree from the University of London. Programs are available for students to study either in London or via distance education.
Their educational programs span Masters Degrees, Research Degrees, Distance Learning and Short Courses. Topics span epidemiology, health policy, infectious disease, public health, and more.
1300. At any time, a minimum of 100 staff are working abroad.
The school's Distance Learning Programme began in 1998 and presently there are more than 3000 students, from 130 countries, enrolled. Distance programs include Masters, Diplomas, Certificates and Short Courses.
Thirty Masters programs, focusing on specific areas of health, are available, as well as PhD and DrPH programs.
The school has a group, called the Student Representative Council, which allows students to represent the entire student body, advancing their interests.
The School was named the world's leading research-focused graduate school in the Times Higher Education World Rankings (October 2013). In May 2014, it was ranked in the top 10 of all universities in the world for citation rate by the new EU-supported U-Multirank database, and fourth in the world for impact in medical sciences by the Leiden Ranking.

Clothing, body language and manners count big time for interviews. After all, interviewers are regular people like the rest of us, easily impressed by good behavior and just as easily offended by inappropriate behavior.
Below are tips on how to act before, during and after interview, to avoid offending interviewers and increase your chances of landing a job.
Do your homework: Research the company before you interview, as your interviewer will likely ask what you know about the company and why you want to work there. It also helps you to formulate questions about the company, and interviewers typically expect you to have such questions.
With a friend, relative or by yourself, practice answering the other common questions interviewers ask.
Neatly arrange and carry your papers and work samples in a nice briefcase or portfolio. This makes you look organized and professional.
Practice good hygiene, comb or brush your hair, and dress appropriately. Even if you know what the company dress is business-casual, dress up anyway. It shows professionalism and respect.
Dress conservatively and avoid bright, flashy colors. If you're a male, wear a business suit and tie (or at least a blazer with a pressed dress shirt and slacks), and polished dress shoes. Get a professional haircut or trim. If you're a female, wear a business suit (or at least a dress blouse and long skirt or pants), with polished, low- to medium- heeled dress shoes and minimum jewelry. Style your hair tastefully.
For some of you younger folks, facial jewelry, paganish attire, purple-streaked and liver-colored lipstick may be cool for hanging out in espresso cafés and music stores, but they are not yet acceptable for interviewing in most corporate environments.
While it not be in your country or origin, body odor is offensive in most of the countries. Wear underarm deodorant when interviewing.
Don't wear strong perfume or cologne. Fragrance is a matter of personal preference and your interviewer might not like your choice. It's best to have no smell at all. A few minutes before the interview, a little breath spray might not hurt, but don't wreak of it or use it during the interview.
Unless otherwise instructed (e.g., to fill out a job application), arrive about ten minutes early for the interview. This shows that you are eager and punctual. But don't' be too early, as it might be an inconvenience for your interviewers. Definitely don't be late.
Don't bring uninvited guests, like pets, children or significant others.
Turn off your cell phone, pager and other devices that might interrupt your interview.
Smile, offer a handshake immediately, introduce yourself, and say something like, "I'm pleased to meet you." or "I've been looking forward to talking with you." Be sincere, not phony or cool, and put the homeboy greetings and another contemporary coolness on a back burner. While "Dude? Wassup?" might be cool among your young friends, it's likely not among corporate interviewers. Take the polite, conservative route.
Reed the mood. If the interviewer is formal, then you probably should be, too. If the interviewer is casual, then follow along while remaining courteous and professional. In either case, try to appear to be relaxed, but not too relaxed. It's not a good idea to like put your feet up on the interviewer desk!
Wait to be told to take a seat or ask if may, then say thank you. This shows good manners.
If it's possible, bring your chair closer to the interviewer's desk, like you're ready to dive right in. This shows confidence. But don't invade the interviewer's personal space.
Even formally- trained interviewers are regular people like you, so they'll expect you to be a little nervous while sitting in the hot seat. Still, try to avoid obvious signs like fidgeting.
Don't eat, drink, chew gum or smoke, or even ask if it's ok. But if the interviewer offers coffee or other beverage, it's ok to accept. It's probably better to say no thanks to snacks (unless you are at an interview meal), so you don't accidentally drop crumbs in your lap, be forced to talk with your mouth full, and all that other stuff your mom told you not to do with your food.
Speaking of witch, if you are attending an interview meal, do follow all the good eating manners your parents taught you. For example, put your napkin on your lap, don't order anything complicated and messy to eat like ribs or crab legs, avoid bad-breath foods like garlic and onions, chew with your mouth closed, keep your elbows off the table, and order only moderately-priced items from the menu. Definitely don't order cocktails. Let your interviewer pick up the tab and be sure to thank him or her for the meal.
Typically, you'll negotiate salary, benefits, perks and such in a follow-up interview. Regardless, don't bring it up until it asked, yet be ready to discuss it an anytime. Benefit and perks are usually a package deal, but salary isn't. There are lots of salary surveys on the Internet you can research to have a figure in mind.
Immediately send a thank-you letter to each of your interviewers. Sending thank-you letters is professional and courteous, and will help to make you stand out in the minds of the interviewers. Besides, many interviewers expect it. Email is perfectly acceptable these days, and the quickest way to get your thank-you letters in front of interviewers. Avoid Internet informal stuff, like emotions (e.g., happy faces), shorthand and acronyms (e.g., u foe you and TIA for thanks in advance). Whether you send it by e-mail or regular mail, observe professional business-letter standards.
Be prepared to attend two or three interviews at the same company. If you're called back for another interview, it means that they're interested in you. But they're also narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!
If you don't hear from your interviewers in about a week or 24 hours or so after they said you'd hear from them, it's okay to call or send letters of inquiry, asking about your candidate status. One round of calls or letters is sufficient. Don't pester, as the squeaky wheel doesn't always get the oil in this case. If they're interested in you, they'll contact you without prodding, but it doesn't hurt to make sure your candidacy didn't fall through the corporate cracks. It also shows that you really want the job and are eager to start. If, after you prod them a tad, you still don't hear back from them, write them off and concentrate on the next job interview.

As a young man, I started in the construction industry during the NYC building boom of the mid-80's. I entered the industry at an interesting time; there was a rash of incidents at construction sites, many involving falling objects.
After several serious incidents involving the public, legislation was proposed to attach netting to the existing perimeter cable guardrails to enhance existing falling object protection. Legislation soon became regulation and 42" perimeter rails with secured netting was as common a sight as hard hats.
Fast-forward a few decades. After being absent from the NYC construction scene for many years, I was offered an opportunity to participate in the rebuilding efforts of the World Trade Center. At this point in my career I was well versed in the rules of construction safety as spelled out in OSHA's 1926 construction safety regulations, but things in NYC were a bit different. There was an additional layer of regulations mandated by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) which, as with OSHA's regulations, are typically created as a result of significant mishaps.
One notable difference upon my return to NYC was that the perimeter cable guardrails now had a requirement of an additional cable at 60 inches with netting secured from the floor to the 60" cable, exceeding OSHA's 42" requirement. This alone should certainly prevent tools and construction materials from hurtling down onto passersby or other construction workers below, or so you would think. Soon after starting at the WTC site, a high-rise under construction across the street had a number of high profile incidents involving falling objects. This finally led to an extended shut-down until a plan was developed indicating measures that would prevent recurrence. This plan was presented to the DOB and the local Community Board, and when both were content with the protective measures indicated in the plan, it was implemented and work resumed. The project was completed without further incident.
Installation of 60" perimeter netting upon completion of metal decking (previously it was installed after the casting of concrete slab).
Netting extended full height to the underside of the floor above, once concrete was completed.
In addition to these measures, a state-of-the-art perimeter protection system, known as a "cocoon", was installed around the uppermost floors, continually wrapping where the steel framework was being erected.
Consisting of four floors of netting-clad scaffold frame with an additional 16 floors of fire resistant protective netting trailing below, it was designed to keep workers – and anything else – from falling off. The frame attached to the outside of the building, rising at the same pace as the steel erection.
These measures were also used at WTC's Tower 4 and Tower 3 (still under construction) and I'm pleased to say that these protective measures were very effective, and are now common practice on high-rise sites in NYC and elsewhere.

Ben Volavola believes working hard always brings positive outcomes.
The 24-year-old's kicking game was a contributing factor in the Vodafone Flying Fijians winning 39-29 in the 2015 Pacific Nations Cup final against Samoa.
"It's really the work you do behind closed doors and during training. So if you want to take the responsibility like kicking, you really got to nail it," Volavola said.
"It's the aspect of the game where some people like it and some won't and you just got to take the positives and work on it."
The new Crusaders signing is excited and happy after helping Fiji win the PNC title.
"It was really great, the boys have been really great to me, they welcomed me really well into the team.
"It was such a great squad, a lot of relief after the PNC and happiness was there when we won the title."
He is now focused on making 31-member squad for the RWC.
"I will have to concentrate in the next few days and hopefully my name gets called out," he said.
"I will just put up my best as there are other quality players in the squad so it's really exciting."
Family is biggest inspiration
"I really get my inspiration from my family," Volavola said.
"I really don't put too much on people I don't know because they will put you down if you don't know them too well."

Japan and the United States have reached a crucial deal on the status of Pentagon's civilian workers stationed in Okinawa, the US defense secretary announced.

US to Formally Return Okinawa Land to Japan After Decades of Control
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The new deal, which comes half a century after the initial arrangement, clarifies the scope of US armed forces' civilian component in Japan. About 75 percent of US military assets in Japan is based in the southern island of Okinawa.
"I am pleased that the United States and Japanese negotiators have successfully reached an agreement in principle that clarifies the scope of the civilian component of the U.S. Armed Forces in Japan… I commend the work of both governments in completing the negotiation of this important agreement, which we expect to be finalized soon," Ashton Carter said in a statement released Sunday.
Carter and Japan's then Defense Minister Gen Nakatani made a commitment to reaching a new agreement in June. Carter said it demonstrated close cooperation between the two nations in strengthening the US-Japanese alliance.
Heavy US military presence in Okinawa has sparked outbursts of popular anger for years due to associated crime, pollution and aircraft crashes. Last May, a US civil worker at the Marine Corps base was arrested for raping and killing a young Japanese woman. US civilian and military personnel at the base are largely protected from Japanese prosecutors.
Last week, the United States returned almost 10,000 acres of land in Japan's Okinawa prefecture back to Tokyo after decades of having a military base there.

The high-temperature stability of chemically vapor-deposited tungsten-silicon couples rapid thermal annealed in ammonia and argon (1988)
Broadbent, E. K. ; Morgan, A. E. ; Flanner, J. M. ; [et al.] Coulman, B. ; Sadana, D. K. ; Burrow, B. J. ; Ellwanger, R. C.

Topics: Physics
Notes: A rapid thermal anneal (RTA) in an NH3 ambient has been found to increase the thermal stability of W films chemically vapor deposited (CVD) on Si. W films deposited onto single-crystal Si by low-pressure CVD were rapid thermal annealed at temperatures between 500 and 1100 °C in NH3 and Ar ambients. The reactions were studied using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and four-point resistivity probe. High-temperature (≥1000 °C) RTA in Ar completely converted W into the low resistivity (31 μΩ cm) tetragonal WSi2 phase. In contrast, after a prior 900 °C RTA in NH3, N inclusion within the W film and at the W/Si interface almost completely suppressed the W-Si reaction. Detailed examination, however, revealed some patches of WSi2 formed at the interface accompanied by long tunnels extending into the substrate, and some crystalline precipitates in the substrate close to the interface. The associated interfacial contact resistance was only slightly altered by the 900 °C NH3 anneal. The NH3-treated W film acted as a diffusion barrier in an Al/W/Si contact metallurgy up to at least 550 °C, at which point some increase in contact resistance was measured.

Enhanced Schottky barriers produced by recoil implantation of Mg into n-GaAs (1989)
Eizenberg, M. ; Callegari, A. C. ; Sadana, D. K. ; [et al.] Hovel, H. J. ; Jackson, T. N.
Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
Applied Physics Letters 54 (1989), S. 1696-1698
Notes: Enhancement of Schottky barrier height of Ti-Pt-Au on n-type GaAs was obtained by heavily (2×1018 cm−3) counter doping the near-surface region of the substrate. The p-type region was produced by recoil implantation of Mg from a Mg thin film (300 A(ring)) irradiated by a 60 keV As+ beam. The film was subsequently chemically etched. The recoil-implanted samples showed an enhancement of 140 meV in the Schottky barrier height following rapid thermal annealing in an AsH3 furnace at 850 °C for nominal zero second.
Outdiffusion of Be during rapid thermal annealing of high-dose Be-implanted GaAs (1990)
Baratte, H. ; Sadana, D. K. ; de Souza, J. P. ; [et al.] Hallali, P. E. ; Schad, R. G. ; Norcott, M. ; Cardone, F.
Notes: The outdiffusion of Be implanted into GaAs has been found to be identical after capless or capped (Si3N4 or SiO2 ) rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 900–1000 °C and to depend on the Be dose and its proximity to the surface. The outdiffusion is more pronounced when the Be implant is shallow (〈0.1 μm) and/or the Be+ dose is high (〉1×1015 cm−2 ). It is demonstrated that the Be outdiffusion is driven by the presence of a highly damaged surface layer. Auger results suggest the formation of a BeOx compound at the surface of a high-dose (1×1016 cm−2 ) Be-implanted sample that underwent capless RTA at 1000 °C/1 s. It appears that BeOx formation occurs when the outdiffused Be interacts with the native Ga/As oxides during annealing. All the Be remaining in the GaAs after a 〉900 °C/2 s RTA is electrically active.
Interactions of thin Ti films with Si, SiO2, Si3N4, and SiOxNy under rapid thermal annealing (1988)
Morgan, A. E. ; Broadbent, E. K. ; Ritz, K. N. ; [et al.] Sadana, D. K. ; Burrow, B. J.
Journal of Applied Physics 64 (1988), S. 344-353
Notes: Thin Ti films sputter deposited onto single-crystal Si, thermal SiO2, and low-pressure chemical vapor deposited Si3N4 and SiOxNy (x≈y≈1) substrates have been rapid thermal annealed in N2 or Ar, with and without an amorphous Si overlayer, and the reactions followed using Auger elecron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and sheet resistance measurements. A multilayer film is created in practically every case with each layer containing essentially a single reaction product, viz.,TiSix, TiOx, δ-TiN, or TiNxO1−x. The results are discussed in light of published Ti-Si-O and Ti-Si-N phase diagrams.
Depth distributions and damage characteristics of protons implanted in n-type GaAs (1985)
Zavada, J. M. ; Jenkinson, H. A. ; Wilson, R. G. ; [et al.] Sadana, D. K.
Notes: Depth distributions of 300-keV protons implanted in n-type GaAs and characteristics of the associated damage in the crystalline material have been obtained. Range profiles of the implanted 1H ions as a function of substrate implantation temperature have been determined using secondary ion mass spectrometry for fluences of 5×1014 and 5×1015 cm−2. The projected range for the protons was approximately 2.7 μm for the room temperature implants, but a significant rearrangement of the 1H atoms occurred during elevated temperature implantation. While cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy showed no evidence of crystal damage in as-implanted wafers, plan-view measurements revealed platelike damage structures in the surface region (〈 1μm).
The formation of a continuous amorphous layer by room-temperature implantation of boron into silicon (1988)
Jones, K. S. ; Sadana, D. K. ; Prussin, S. ; [et al.] Washburn, J. ; Weber, E. R. ; Hamilton, W. J.
Notes: Ion implantation of 60 keV boron into {100} silicon at medium beam currents (150 μA) was performed at 300–315 K over the dose range from 1 to 8×1016/cm2. Diffraction contrast and high-resolution phase contrast transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used on plan-view and 90° cross-section samples to study the formation of a continuous amorphous layer as a function of increasing dose. Our TEM results show that, unlike implantation of Si with heavier ions where amorphization initially occurs at or around the projected range, the amorphization by high dose (〉5×1016/cm2) B+-implanted Si first occurs at and/or near the surface. It is proposed that the buildup of a high concentration of vacancies which inevitably occurs near the surface during high-dose B+ implantation is primarily responsible for the observed near-surface amorphization. Based on the results of this investigation and those available in the published literature, it appears that low temperature (slow recombination rate for point defects) and high beam current (high generation rate for point defects) implantation may result in the optimum conditions for amorphous layer formation with boron.
Annealing and oxidation behavior of low-pressure chemical vapor deposited tungsten slicide layers on polycrystalline silicon gates (1987)
Sadana, D. K. ; Morgan, A. E. ; Norcott, M. H. ; [et al.] Naik, S.
Notes: A WSix≈2.6 film was deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition at 350–420 °C onto a P-doped polycrystalline silicon/SiO2/Si substrate. This polycide structure (with or without a subsequent As+ source/drain implant) was heat treated in the following manner: (i) 1000 °C/N2 anneal for 20 min, (ii) oxidation both in dry oxygen and in steam ambients at 920–950 °C (50 min–8 h), and (iii) N2 anneal as well as dry oxidation at 920 °C/50 min. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and sheet resistance measurements were used for characterization. The as-deposited film was mostly amorphous with a fine grain structure. The N2 anneal caused the formation of a polycrystalline WSix〉2 film containing tetragonal WSi2. Dry oxidation produced a void-containing SiO2 layer atop the silicide film. However, the SiO2 layer was impregnated with W particles when the silicide film was steam oxidized. The role of excess Si in refractory metal silicide films during annealing and oxidation is discussed. The effect of stress at the corners of a step in a patterned wafer during the oxidation of tungsten polycide is also demonstrated.
Effect of post-silicidation annealing on TiSi2/p+-n Si junctions (1987)
Delfino, M. ; Morgan, A. E. ; Broadbent, E. K. ; [et al.] Maillot, P. ; Sadana, D. K.
Notes: The reverse-bias leakage of TiSi2/p+-n Si junctions is 〈10 nA/cm2 for 0.1-μm-deep p+-Si with a TiSi2 sheet resistance of 1.7 Ω/sq, and is essentially independent of carrier concentration, and the amount of B consumed during silicidation. Forward-bias current characteristics show that the TiSi2 contacts are ohmic with significant recombination currents and high-level injection at voltages below the series resistance limit. Post-silicidation annealing for 30 min at 920 °C, with or without an overlayer of borophosphosilicate glass, increases the majority-carrier concentration and does not cause B to diffuse out of the Si. Also, minority-carrier lifetimes show a twofold increase after annealing and this results in nearly ideal junctions with leakage that is dominated by diffusion currents. Thus, TiSi2/p+-n Si is thermally stable under conditions that are compatible with glass flow and reflow processing.
Proton, deuteron, and helium implantation into GaAs and LiNbO3 for waveguide fabrication (1985)
Wilson, R. G. ; Betts, D. A. ; Sadana, D. K. ; [et al.] Zavada, J. M. ; Hunsperger, R. G.
Notes: Hydrogen and helium implantation into GaAs, LiNbO3, and other crystals has been shown to produce planar or channel waveguides via defects/damage and/or carrier removal or compensation. We have measured implanted depth distributions of 1H, 2H, and 4He in GaAs and LiNbO3 as functions of ion energy, ion fluence, substrate temperature, and annealing temperature using secondary ion mass spectrometry. We have studied the defect depth distribution for hydrogen-implanted GaAs by transmission electron microscopy. We have determined the lateral spread of 1H and 2H ions implanted into GaAs by varying the angle of implantation; this relates to the increase in width of closely spaced parallel channel waveguides made using patterned masks.
Range and shape factors, damage, regrowth, and redistribution for Ag implants in (100) and (111) Si (1987)
Wilson, R. G. ; Jamba, D. M. ; Sadana, D. K. ; [et al.] Hopkins, C. G.
Notes: The nature of regrowth of implantation-damaged (100) and (111) Si was investigated by measuring the depth distribution of implanted Ag atoms following annealing at 550 °C for fluences of 1×1012 to 1×1015 cm−2. Cross-section transmission electron microscope measurements were made for a few conditions to compare damage depth distributions. Other factors studied were anneal time, Si growth technique, Ag atom densities, and the transition region between amorphous and crystalline Si. Ranges and profile shape factors are reported for 150, 300, 450, and 600 keV Ag implants into Si.

MY JETS ACCOUNT
SANCHEZ: My Job to Play the Way I Know How
Transcript of quarterback Mark Sanchez's news conference in front of his locker following the Jets' Wednesday afternoon practice at the Atlantic Health Training Center.
On his reaction to Coach Ryan naming him the starter against Jacksonville…
I felt* *confident in my abilities. I think just coming off of this last weekend, things could be a lot worse. We could have lost the game. Like I said on Sunday, I was happy for Greg [McElroy]. I'm thrilled for the team and I'm pleased with Rex's decision and now it's my job to go make them right, not just him but the rest of the guys in the locker room, and to go and compete my butt off and play like I know how. To protect the football, and do it for the rest of the guys in this locker room.
On if he ever thought he wouldn't be the starter…
I just waited for Rex to make his decision and let us know. That was it.
On if he is aware of the importance of protecting the football…
Of course. It's a frustrating thing and then to have to step back on one hand, as much as you disagree with the decision, you never want to come out of the game, I understand where he's coming from because everyone needs to be held accountable, myself included.
Coach said it last week, that we need to take care of the football, and he also made the point after the game when he talked to me that the play by [Patrick] Peterson, those plays happen. The ball gets batted and tipped at the line of scrimmage, those kinds of plays happen. You get blindsided and the ball goes flying in the air, it happens to everybody. But when you make a bad throw on the first play of the game, when you make a bad read and force it to Jeff Cumberland, those can't fly. He made his decision and we're all help accountable. I think that was the most important thing.
On if he is worried about making a mistake and coming out of the game…
I'm not really approaching it that way. It's my job to play the way I know how. These last couple of weeks, and certain stretches of this season, I haven't. It kind of culminated there on Sunday and hopefully that's the end of it. I think it is. That's the way I'll approach this next one.
On if viewing things from the sidelines changes his prospective…
Of course, you see how fragile the game is and how close we were even with those interceptions. It's my job to understand the kind of situation we're in in that game. In that game, our defense was playing lights-out. Yeah, we didn't hit a couple of field goals, but our special teams were putting us in great position, our punter [Robert Malone] put the ball out of bounds and really negated Peterson and their punt-return team. Things were really going our way and it's my job to keep them going that way. It's probably the best and worst experience of my life and hopefully you learn from it, move on and never look back.
On if he thought he wouldn't see the starting position again…
I don't really think like that. I knew at some point before I died, I'd start at quarterback at some point. I'm just glad it's this week.
On if this is the worst experience of his life…
I said it could be. It was definitely the worst but it could turn around and be one of the best things that has happened.
On if he sought advice from any other quarterbacks in the NFL…
You know who I talked to, which is funny since we're going to Jacksonville, is [Mark] Brunell. He's been in the same situation. He told me the story that he got pulled, and I don't remember who it was but somebody went in for him in Washington, but the crowd started chanting like they were for McElroy. Brunell's kids are up in the stands and they don't know any better, they're only 5 and 6 and they started cheering for the other guy with the crowd. I just remember him telling me that story.
I'll be fine. I know how to play better and now it's time to go prove it. I put myself in a tough spot here and it's time to work your way out of it and play like I know I can and like I want to for the Brandon Moores, for the [Matt] Slausons, Nick Mangolds and the guys who have played quite a bit. On defense, for [Antonio] Cromartie, who is covering his butt off, and Kyle Wilson and Muhammad Wilkerson and all of those guys. You want to play well for those guys. That's what we'll do.
On his emotion after the game Sunday…
I'm just disappointed because I let a lot of people down. You let a lot of teammates down when you play like that. It never feels good, it just doesn't, not the way I prepared, not the skillset I've been blessed to have. It just doesn't add up to the way I'm playing. That's disappointing to me. It's no fun, but it happened. Now it's time to bounce back.
On if he will be replaced on Sunday if he makes mistakes…
I don't know. The point is to go in and win the game and not give the ball up.
On if he feels as if he is playing for his future…
I think we're all playing for that. It's highlighted by the quarterback position and there's a lot of emphasis and a lot of attention on this position here. This kind of thing affects people's lives and careers, not just "oh man, bummer." It's not like that. This is serious for coaches, players, coordinators, everybody included, so I understand that.
On if there was any wakeup call this week…
We'll see on Sunday. I think I'm poised and ready to play a good game. If you do that, then it's all inside.
On people questioning his mental toughness…
On the perception that he is playing because the team owes him money…
That's the last thing on my mind. I don't know, ask the coaches and management. That's not my deal.
On if Coach Ryan has lost confidence in him…
I think he was more or less sending a message. It's well received. I know, I got it.
On if he has ever dealt with something like this before…
I don't think so. Maybe in, like, fifth-grade basketball.
On if he embraces the experience…
Yeah. Let's go play.
On if he was shocked to hear he was coming out of the game…
A little, but that's not the point. The point is you have to take care of the ball. I wasn't doing that, so I didn't get to play.
On why he wanted to hear it from Coach Ryan…
I don't know. I was just making sure that was really going on.
On if there is a sense of relief that the next two games are on the road…
It's kind of similar to a road game, you get booed.
On if thinks he will get booed at in Jacksonville…
On if McElroy will get booed at Jacksonville…
Yeah, probably.
On if Tim Tebow will get booed at Jacksonville…
Definitely not Tebow.
On if he saw Braylon Edward's tweet…
On his reaction to the tweet…
I love Braylon. I loved playing with him. We have a lot of experience together. I think it was kind of an emotional thing and I saw his apology. I know he loved being here. He loved the guys in this locker room. He loved the people upstairs. It was more of "that's my guy" and a sticking-up-for-me thing. Friendship-wise, sure, I appreciate it. Professionally, it's not my position to say, but I feel for the guy. He really is sorry about it. I appreciate his support but he might have gone a little overboard, though.
On if other people feel the way Edwards does…
That's the way things are. We're where we're at. I can't go back and change anything or do anything about any of that, any of the circumstances. It's my job to play well and take care of the football and play well for the guys in this locker room and a head coach that believes in me. I know I can do that.
On if the team still has confidence in him…
For the guys who've been here, they know that in the toughest circumstances I play my best. You never want it to come to this point, but we're here. At the same time, I'm sure guys read things, guys listen to outside opinion at times, so it's not like I'm playing just for that. At the same time, I don't want to let them down because that's the worst feeling really on Sunday.
I'm disappointed in myself but I don't want to let the head coach down. He doesn't show up here at 4 o'clock in the morning and stay here and not see his family and do all the stuff he does for me to go out and throw the ball to the other team. That has to be disheartening. That's the part that really bothers you. That's why you want to fix it.
On if having new receivers impacts his performance…
I don't know. I think these guys are playing their butt off and I know they're studying hard. Things are just constantly improving. I'm getting a better feel for a lot of these guys. They're young and they're going to stick around so that's good. Stephen [Hill] and Jeremy Kerley kind of highlight that group of young guys that I'll hopefully be with for a long time. That process has to start somewhere and we've had the luxury and maybe the curse of older guys that are really good talent-wise but aren't here for a long-term period. It's great while they're here. It's tough to get that turnover and work with that, but at the same time, that's just how things go and you have to make it work.
On his body language on the sideline after he was taken out…
I'm not going to do cartwheels and start smiling. I think the most important thing that I wanted to do was reciprocate what Greg does for me when I'm playing. That was chart plays and when Tony [Sparano] talked to Greg about the plays and we go over the pictures, I'm there giving him the plays that we called, I'm telling him exactly what I've seen. When we get down to the goal line and we're going over thoughts, I'm giving my input, hey, here's what I think, here's what Greg thinks, here's what Tony thinks — boom, here's the call, and Greg goes out and scores. That's my job if I'm not playing. That was the most important thing and winning was the most important thing, no matter how crappy it feels to come out and not be playing anymore. You have to win the game.
On if he is "broken"…
On the last two days…
I was just preparing to play.
On if he tried to stay away from calls from his family and friends…
A little bit. I talk to my immediate family, but other than that, people understand that I'm busy. They know that I have a lot going on. They've been cool about keeping their distance and knowing that I'm focused on something and turning this around.
On how this compares to playing at his toughest moments…
It's a good experience and something to really learn from. It's something to build on.
On if the pressure is different from playing in the playoffs…
My rookie year was pretty similar. Those last four games were kind of make-or-break and we lost that Atlanta game. I threw three picks right after I came back from being hurt for a week. That's never a fun deal coming back that next week. Sunday can't come fast enough. I can't wait to get down to Jacksonville and play my best.

Q: MATCH function displays an error on some cells but works for other Two sections of my table cannot process data because MATCH formula is displaying "Value not available" (values are present in range), for other five sections MATCH formula works.
I've tried changing ranges, cleaning/trimming range (to remove hidden chars), for some weird reason second section works when I changed lookup range from $A$2:$A$1200 to $A$2:$A$1300 but left INDEX range at $A$2:$A$1200.
=CELL("address",INDEX($A$2:$A$1200,MATCH($AP8,$A$2:$A$1200)))

Expected result would be cell reference of first matching value in ascending order from lookup range, but first two sections are displaying #N/A error.
EDIT #1:
Data example:
    A         B        C        D
1 Name1     Name1

2 Name1     Name2

3 Name1

4 Name2

5 Name2

6 Name1

7 Name2

...(list is never completed as new data is always entered)

I want cell reference of specific Name that has been entered latest.
In this case it would be
 =CELL("address",INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(B1,A1:A7)))

and expected result would be $A$6.

A: To get cell reference of specific Name that has been entered latest you can't use MATCH.  But you can use LOOKUP, like this
=ADDRESS(LOOKUP(2,1/(A:A=C1),ROW(A:A)),1)

A: You can use ADDRESS function to return the expected cell address by finding the row and column number using either LARGE or AGGREGATE function as shown below:
{=ADDRESS(LARGE(IFERROR(ROW(Col_A)/(Col_A=B2),0),1),COLUMN(Col_A),1)}
or
=ADDRESS(AGGREGATE(14,7,ROW(Col_A)/(Col_A=B3),1),COLUMN(Col_A),1)
The first one is an Array Formula which means you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm.
See below screen-shot for clarifications. I have named the data in Column A as Col_A.

Cheers :)

The Apparitions
and the Souls in Purgatory
Padre Pio started to have apparitions when he was a child. The little Francesco didn't speak of it because he believed that the apparitions normally happened to all people. The apparitions were of Angels, of Saints, of Jesus, and of Our Lady, but sometimes, also of devils. In the last days of December, 1902, while he was meditating on his vocation, Francesco had a vision. Here is the description that he gave several years later to his confessor. "Francis saw on his side a stately man of rare beauty, shining as the sun, that picked him up by the hand and encouraged him with the precise invitation: 'It is convenient for you to come with me and fight like a good warrior.' He was conducted to a spacious country, among a crowd of men divided into two groups: on one side were men with very beautiful faces and dressed in white dresses, candid as the snow. On the other side there were men with horrid faces and dressed in black dresses; they looked like dark shades. Francesco was situated in the middle of these two groups of spectators and he saw that a tall man, so tall that he could touch the clouds with his forehead and with an ugly face, came toward him. The character that shined exhorted Francesco to fight against this monstrous character. Francesco prayed in order to avoid the fury of the strange character but the bright character didn't disappear: 'Your resistance is useless. It is worthwhile to fight against this bad character. Please, be faithful and enter confidently in the struggle. I will be nearby you; I will help you and I won't allow him to defeat you.' Francesco agreed and the fight was terrible. With the help of the bright character that always was nearby him, Francesco won the fight. The monstrous character was forced to run away and he dragged with him the big crowd of men with horrid faces, among howls, curses and cries. The other crowd of men with beautiful faces roared with applause and praises for him who had assisted the poor Francesco in that great battle. The splendid and bright character, more bright than the sun, put down on the head of victorious Francesco a wonderful crown that is not possible to describe. But then the crown was removed from Francesco's head and the good character said: 'Another crown, more beautiful than this one, I have preserved for you if you will fight with that character with which you have now fought. He will always return to the assault; you will fight without having any doubt of my help. Do not worry about his strength; I will be nearby you, I always will help you, and you will succeed in winning.'" Such visions were followed by real clashes with the Devil. Padre Pio had several clashes against the "enemy hostile to souls" during his life. In fact, one of Padre Pio's first goals was to tear souls from the clutches of the Devil.
One evening Padre Pio was in a room, on the ground floor of the convent, turned guesthouse. He was alone and had just laid down on the cot when, suddenly, a man appeared to him wound in a black mantle. Padre Pio was amazed and arose to ask the man who he was and what he wanted. The stranger answered that he was a soul in Purgatory. "I am Pietro Di Mauro" he said "I died in a fire, on September 18, 1908, in this convent. In fact this convent, after the expropriation of the ecclesiastical goods, had been turned into a hospice for elderly. I died in the flames, while I was sleeping on my straw mattress, right in this room. I have come from Purgatory: God has granted me to come here and ask you to say Mass for me tomorrow morning. Thanks to one Mass I will be able to enter into Paradise". Father Pio told the man that he would say Mass for him..., "but…"padre Pio said: "I, wanted to accompany him to the door of the convent. I surely realised I had talked to a dead person, in fact when we went out in the church square, the man that was at my side, suddenly disappeared". I have to admit that I re-entered in the convent rather frightened. Padre Paolino of Casacalenda, Superior of the convent, noticed my nervousness, after explaining to him what happened, I asked "permission to celebrate Holy Mass for the deceased soul," A few days later, Father Paolino, wanting to verify the information, went to the office of the registry of the commune of St. Giovanni Rotondo. He required and got the permission to consult the register of the deceased in the year 1908. The story of Father Pio Father was true. In the register of deaths of the month of September, Father Paolino found the name, last name and cause of death: "On September 18, 1908 in the fire of the hospice, Pietro Di Mauro died."
Mrs Cleonice Morcaldi of St. Giovanni Rotondo was one of the Padre Pio's spiritual daughters. Her mother had died. One month after the death of her mother, Father Pio told Mrs Cleonice at the end of the confession: "This morning your mother has gone to Heaven, I have seen her while I was celebrating Holy Mass."
Padre Pio told this story to padre Anastasio. "One evening, while I was alone in choir to pray, I heard the rustle of a suit and I saw a young monk that stirred next to the High altar. It seemed that the young monk was dusting the candelabra and straightening the flower vases. I thought he was Padre Leone rearranging the altar, and, since it was supper time, I went to him and I told him: "Padre Leone, go to dine, this is not the time to dust and to straighten the altar". But a voice, that was not Father Leone's answered me": "I am not Padre Leone", "and who are you? ", I asked him. "I am a brother of yours that made the noviciate here. I was ordered to clean the altar during the year of the noviciate. Unfortunately many times I didn't reverence Jesus while passing in front of the altar, thus causing the Holy Sacrament that was preserved in the tabernacle to be disrespected. For this serious carelessness, I am still in Purgatory. Now, God, with his endless goodness, sent me here so that you may quicken the time I will enjoy Paradise. Take care of me." I believed to be generous to that suffering soul, so I exclaimed: "you will be in Paradise tomorrow morning, when I will celebrate Holy Mass". That soul cried: "Cruel!" Then he wept and disappeared. That complaint produced in me a wound to the heart that I have felt and I will feel my whole life. In fact I would have been able to immediately send that soul to Heaven but I condemned him to remain another night in the flames of Purgatory."
Friar Pio wrote some experiences in his letters to his spiritual father:
Letter to Friar Augustine, on April 7, 1913, "My dear Father, I was still in bed on Friday morning, when Jesus appeared to me. He was battered and disfigured. He showed me a great crowd of priests, among whom were different ecclesiastical dignitaries. Some were celebrating or where donning or removing their vestments. To see Jesus in this condition caused me much pain. I wanted to ask him why he suffered so much. He did not answer me, but showed me that priest being punished. But shortly after, he looked sadly at these priests and I noticed, to my great my horror, two tears running down his face. Jesus went away from that crowd of priests and with a great expression of disgust on his face, cried': "Butchers!" Then He told me: "My Child, do not believe that my agony has been only three hours, no; actually I will be in agony till the end of the world because of the souls I love. During the time of the agony, my child, nobody can sleep. My soul goes looking for some drop of human pity, but they leave me alone under the weight of their indifference. The ingratitude and the sleep of my ministers increase the agony for me. They badly respond to my love! The greater torment for me is that these people add their contempt to their indifference and disbelief. How many times my wrath was to strike them like lightning, but I was stopped by the angels and the souls who love me..... Write to your confessor and describe to him what you saw and heard from me this morning. Tell him to show your letter to the Provincial... "Jesus continued to talk but I may never reveal what he said..."
Epistolary I (1910-1922) PADRE PIO DA PIETRELCINA: a cura di Melchiorre da Pobladura e Alessandro da Ripabottoni - Edizioni "Padre Pio da Pietrelcina" Convento S.Maria delle Grazie San Giovanni Rotondo - FG
Letter to Father Agostino of (February 13, 1913): "Don't worry, I will make you suffer, but I will also give you the strength" - Jesus reveals to me. - "I desire that your soul be purified and tried with daily hidden martyrdom; don't be frightened if I allow the Devil to torment you, and the world to disgust you, because nobody will win against those who suffer under the cross for my love, for I have decided to protect them. "
Letter to father Agostino, (November 18, 1912), "... Jesus, his dear Mother, the Guardian Angel with the others to encourage me, that they not forget to tell me that the victim, to be called victim, has to lose all his blood".
Letter to father Agostino, of (March 12, 1913), "... my father, listen to our sweet Jesus' complaints: "My love for men is repaid with so much ingratitude! Those people would have offended me less if I had loved them less. My father doesn't want to tolerate them anymore. I would like to stop loving them, but... (And here Jesus kept silent and, afterward taken aback) but my heart is made for loving! The tired men don't try to overcome the temptations. Rather these men enjoy their iniquities. The souls I love more than the other's when they suffer a temptation, when they don't succeed in withstanding. The weak souls are dismayed and desperate. The strong souls trust Jesus. They leave me alone at night and in the morning in Church. They don't take care of the sacrament of the altar; they don't speak of this sacrament of love anymore; also, the people who do speak of the sacrament do it with so much indifference and coldness. My Heart has been forgotten; nobody cares for my love; I am always saddened. My house has become a theatre of plays for a lot of people; even my priests that I have always protected carefully, that I have loved as the apple of my eye; they should comfort my sorrowful heart; they should help me in the redemption of the souls, instead.... Who would believe it? I receive ingratitude from them. I see, my Son, a lot of them that... (Here he stopped, sobs tightened his throat, he wept) that under false semblance they betray me with sacrilegious communions, stamping on the light and the strength that I continually give them... ".
Padre Alessio Parente said: "At the end of his life when Padre Pio was an old monk, Padre Alessio and Padre Onorato used to help him to go to bed. They washed his face and they helped him to go to bed. Once Padre Alessio said: "I have never been in Lourdes. We can go together and see Our Lady. But Padre Pio said: "I do not need to go to Lourdes to see Our Lady I meet with her all the nights". A few minutes after Padre Alessio said. "Ah! This is the reason for which you wash your face in the evening and not in the morning". Padre Pio did not answer but he smiled" (Ep. 1, p. 330-331).
Padre Alessio Parente said: "One day Padre Pio was praying with the Rosary when suddenlly he stop himself and start looking at the pavement. Then he jumped on the chair where he was sitting and raised his hands, In that moment his faces was covered with small drops of sweat. Padre Alessio took several handkerchiefs in order to dry him.
After few minute he had recovered and said: "Let's go to the Church for the Mass". After the Holy Mass we went to the garden of the convent and I asked Padre Pio: "Father, I saw you were suffering before the Holy Mass. What happen?
Padre Pio said. "If you had seen what I have seen you would have died".

Jordan: Hundreds of phones hit by Israeli hack, including Royal Court members
Washington source says it's unclear if Pegasus spyware was used in mass hacking operation
A man reads the Quran on his phone inside the Mohammad Al-Tilawy mosque in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on 5 June 2020 (AFP)
MEE and agencies
Published date: 11 February 2022 13:17 UTC | Last update: 11 months 3 weeks ago
At least 200 phones in Jordan, including some belonging to members of the Royal Hashemite Court, have been hacked by Israeli spyware, according to local media.
Ammon News cited a source in Washington as saying they were unsure if the controversial Pegasus spyware had been used, but Israeli internal security committees were "investigating the incident".
Among those hacked were activist Hala Ahed Deeb, journalist Dima Farraj, politician Mostafa Hamarneh, members of the National Olympic Committee and Hanan Elatr, the wife of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Hamarneh, a member of the Jordanian senate, told Ammon News that he had received a notice saying his phone had been hacked between February and November 2021, with contact numbers, photos, WhatsApp messages and emails among those targeted.
Deeb was among those who previously had their phones hacked by the Pegasus spyware, developed by Israeli company NSO Group.
Israel's former attorney general says his country is an 'apartheid regime'
On Monday, Israel's police minister said he was setting up a state commission of inquiry after a newspaper said the force had illicitly used spyware to hack the phones of government officials, businesspeople and associates of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Pegasus, a mobile hacking tool made by NSO Group, was used to "phish for intelligence even before any investigation had been opened against the targets, and without judicial warrants", Calcalist, an Israeli business daily newspaper, said in the unsourced report.
Those targets included a son of Netanyahu and two aides to the former prime minister, who is on trial on corruption charges, as well as a co-defendant and several witnesses, and, separately, two former officials suspected of leaking information to journalists, Calcalist said.
Calcalist said dozens of people targeted were not suspected of any criminal conduct, and had been targeted without police receiving the necessary court approval.
Among the targets were senior leaders of the finance, justice and communication ministries, mayors, and Ethiopian-Israelis who led protests against alleged police misconduct.

The dollar is moving back lower vs the EURUSD (new highs for the pair), the USDJPY (new lows for the pair). The USDCHF corrected higher to the 100 hour MA, but turned back lower and trades toward the day lows again.
All come in at the 1.1355-57 area. The high just reached 1.13569.
When you have a bunch of technical levels at a confined area, it is a key barometer for bulls and bears. There will be sellers who lean against the area with hopes that resistance holds. However, if the price moves above, those sellers could easily turn around and buy. That's the importance of the technical area.
So, although the dollar is lower, sellers of the EURUSD may look to stick a small toe in the water with a close stop against the USD low level vs the EUR.
The Euro enjoys a substantial development. Italy's Radiocor reports that the European Commission will not open a disciplinary procedure against Italy. The latest budget from the euro zone's third-largest economy already consisted of significant concessions towards Brussels. EU Commissioner DescriptionValdis Dombrovskis confirmed an agreement has been reached to avoid an Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP).
The second reason to rise is more speculative and may be premature. Markets seem to believe that the Fed will deliver a "dovish hike." While Chair Jerome Powell and co. will raise rates but slash the forecast for three increases in 2019. The expectations are based on an economic slowdown but may have gone too far.
Back in September, the Fed's dot-lot showed three hikes and bond markets point to no changes next year. The low expectations weigh on the USD Dollar. The outcome may be something in the middle. A small downgrade to two hikes in 2019 could make the doves cry and send the greenback much higher. A cut to one hike would already be a genuine dovish hike.
The reaction also depends on the accompanying FOMC Statement and Powell's press conference.
EUR/USD extends gains and reaches the highest level since December 10.
While the US dollar is moving mixed across the board, the euro remains strong on the back of the Italian budget agreement.
The EUR/USD pair rose further and climbed to 1.1438, hitting a fresh weekly high. It is trading near the top with the bullish tone intact but still under the key resistance seen around 1.1445/50.
The move to the upside took place as market participants await the outcome of the 2-day FOMC meeting. A rate hike is priced in, but lately, speculations about a "dovish" tone from the Fed weakened the demand for the US dollar. The statement will be released at 19:00 GMT.
The euro is among the top performers today, supported by the possible agreement between the Italian government and the European Commission that triggered a rally in Italian bonds. While EUR/USD is up almost more than 50 pips, EUR/CHF trades at 2-week highs near 1.1350 and EUR/GBP above 0.9030 at the highest since December 12.
To the upside, the critical resistance level is seen at 1.1445/50, followed by 1.1470/75 (Nov 20 high) and 1.1495/1.1500 (Nov 7 high). On the flip side, support might now be seen at 1.1400, 1.1355/60 (Dec 17 high) and 1.1330 (Dec 13 low).
The post-FOMC USD rebound meets with some aggressive selling on Thursday.
Technical buying above 55-day SMA/1.1400 handles accelerates the up-move.
The USD remained heavily offered across the board, pushing the EUR/USD pair to over one-month tops and closer to the key 1.1500 psychological mark.
The not so dovish Fed monetary policy outlook for 2019, now foreseeing two rate hikes, led to a rise in short-term interest rates. This coupled with a fall in the long-dated yields revived fears of an inversion in the yield curve, seen as a reliable indicator of a recession down the road, and was seen affecting negatively on the US Dollar.
The pair regained positive traction for the fourth consecutive session on Thursday and continued scaling higher through the mid-European session. Meanwhile, the latest leg of a sudden pickup over the past few hours could further be attributed to some short-covering move, following a sustained move beyond the previous session's swing high.
With today's strong up-move, the pair finally seems to have confirmed a near-term bullish breakthrough the crucial 55-day SMA hurdle. Hence, a follow-through up-move, led by some fresh technical selling amid absent relevant market moving economic releases from the US, now looks a distinct possibility.
On a sustained move beyond the 1.1500 handle, the pair is likely to head towards the 1.1525-30 supply zone and pause amid overbought conditions on hourly charts. On the flip side, the 1.1440-35 region now becomes immediate support to defend, which if broken might drag the pair back towards testing the 1.1400 handle.
It found some resistance at 1.1485, let's see whether this is the end of the rally or we can expect more.
Major markets are missing their key participants as volumes wither, leaving the FX marketspace to middle.
Plenty of concerns will be following investors through the doors into 2019.
EUR/USD is seeing some downside play in thin Asian markets, testing into 1.1425 as the major pair struggles within trading ranges established late last week.
Broader markets remain sedate and volumes steeply decreased as investors pull back for the year's end, and major assets see thin play within recent ranges. The Euro is heading into 2019 on mixed tones as the European continent grapples with an array of economic headwinds, from Italy's lagging budget concerns to Brexit, as well as threats of a global economic slowdown, and soured market sentiment could be ringing in 2019 as the new year looks set for a rough ride.
The economic calendar is devoid of any meaningful information ahead of the News Years shutdown, though the US side will be seeing the Dallas Fed's Manufacturing Business Index for December at 15:30 GMT, which last printed at 17.6.
"The pair retains a positive tone according to the 4 hours chart, although the 1.1460/80 region is a tough static resistance area that won't be easy to break. In the mentioned chart, the pair is well above its moving averages, with the 20 SMA gaining upward strength. Technical indicators are neutral-to-bullish within positive levels, below their daily highs, indicating limited buying interest. "
I really hope the holiday range ends soon, I am ready to start trading again.
flash crash, nfp and powell very good mixture to raise implied volatality of forex pairs.
What caused the flash crash actually? What did I miss?
