This minigame has been rated as Low Risk. See the minigames page for a definition of high and low risk.
Conquest is a turn-based strategy game available at the Void Knights' Outpost. This minigame pits players against one another in 1v1 matches of wit (with gameplay similar to Chess); each player is offered command of a variety of new recruits for the Void Knights, and the recruits are sent into training battles in order to prepare them for the ongoing war with the Void monsters. Skilled commanders will be rewarded by the Void Knights with Commendations and increased Conquest ranking.
Note: A Combat Level of 40+ is required to access the Void Knights' Outpost and take part in the Conquest minigame.
This minigame is held at the Conquest Training Facility, located in the Void Knights' Outpost. The Outpost itself can only be reached by taking a ship from Port Sarim; a Squire of the Void Knights is stationed at the southern dock of the Port, and he offers to transport any interested players free-of-charge. An Explorer's Ring 3 (Cabbage Teleport) or charged Amulet of Glory (Draynor Teleport) can be useful in travelling to Port Sarim.
The Void Knight in charge of the Facility, Captain Ethar, can guide players through a tutorial of the Conquest minigame. The tutorial gives a brief overview of the game, and demonstrates how to play through a practice session with a NPC. Completing the tutorial is not mandatory in order to play Conquest, but doing so is very helpful to newcomers.
Before starting a game of Conquest, it is recommended to speak with Knight Dorian (found by Captain Ethar on the ground floor of the Facility) and select whichever Void Knight recruits you wish to command as part of your squad. The recruits serve as gamepieces in each Conquest match, and they come in a variety of differing combat types, so care is needed in making the selection. A great deal of the strategy involved in Conquest revolves around players' troop selections, since a poorly-composed squad can make all the difference between winning and losing.
Note:: If you start a game without organising your squad, you will be forced to use the default selection provided by the minigame.
The troops available for selection are divided into 7 different categories, according to their combat capabilites and other attributes (as explained in the tutorial). Players may choose up to 10 troops of any type to include in their squad, however, a certain restriction applies.
The "Squad Resources", seen in the picture above, is that restriction. Every player participating in the Conquest minigame is limited to 1000 Resources, and it is with these Resources that you "buy" troops; the costs of troops vary, depending on the type (anywhere from a mere 25 Resources for a Scout to 200 for a Champion). Players cannot exceed the limit of 1000 Resources while buying troops, so keep this in mind when creating your squad.
The different types of troops can be seen here:
List of Troops
Troop Attributes:
Movement - Number of squares a troop can move in one turn.
Damage - Amount of damage a troop deals when attacking.
Health - Amount of damage a troop can endure before dying.
Range - Distance, in squares, from which a troop can attack.
Cost - Amount of Squad Resources required in order to purchase a troop.
As shown in the table above, each type of troop is unique and comes with its own strengths and weakenesses. Experienced players will typically seek to balance these by forming a squad of complementary troops (i.e. selecting a mixture troops specialising in short-, middle-, and long-ranged combat).
Once you've settled on your squad's composition, you should take the time to speak with Knight Dorian again and decide how you want to organise your newly-created squad.
Of course, should you choose not to, the minigame will organise your troops in default positions, so it's better to decide for yourself. Simply click and drag your troops to the desired starting positions, and do so in whichever manner best suits your strategy. When you're satisfied with the squad formation, click "Accept" to save the formation and continue on.
Note: You cannot move one of your troops through another, so take that into consideration before crowding your squad together.
"Commands" are special abilities which can be used on the battlefield to either support your own troops or hinder the actions of your opponent's. There are 9 different Commands, and you can select up to 4 to take with you into battle. However, similarly to troops, Commands require that you first purchase them with Conquest Resources. This means, unfortunately, that you may have to downgrade or even sacrifice some of your troops if you wish to also use Commands during your matches; there is no second supply of Resources to buy Commands with, so you'll have to dedicate Resources from your original supply of 1000.
If you're interested in buying one or more Command(s), talk to Knight Dorian and switch tabs from "Select Troops" to "Select Commands" on the Squad Selection screen.
Despite the costs, investing in Commands is generally worthwhile. Players without any will almost always be at a severe disavantage, so incorporating the use of certain Commands into your strategy is practically a necessity if you wish to remain competitive. Of course, some Commands may be of more benefit to you than others, so consider the differences before deciding which to use.
A list of Commands and their effects can be viewed below:
List of Commands
Command Effects:
Cooldown - Number of turns which must pass before the Command can be used.
Cost - Amount of both the Resources required to buy the Command and the Command Points needed to use the Command in a match.
To prevent the overuse of Commands, a cooldown period must pass each time one is used; the exact number of turns required varies between the different Commands. However, even if the cooldown period has passed, players cannot use their Commands unless they have a sufficient number of Command Points.
At the start of each of their turns, players receive 25 Command Points. In addition to this, defeating enemy troops will also yield Command Points equal to their cost in Squad Resources (e.g. defeating an Archer would award the player 100 Points, while defeating a Champion would award 200). Because of this, highly aggressive, offensive strategies are often the most effective, since defeating enemy troops allows for the more frequent use of Commands.
Note: You cannot use Chastise on your opponents character if it is the last character on their team left.
After you've finished organising your squad and selecting Commands, you'll be ready to start a game of Conquest! Climb down the stairs by Captain Ethar to enter the Conquest Training Facility, where the minigame matches are held.
Since you've already taken care of the preparations, you can start a match whenever you're ready. Walk through the northern green barrier if you want to play a game as soon as possible; it leads to the Auto-Matching Chamber, which will automatically pair you with someone else in the Chamber. Entering the southern red chamber, on the other hand, will take you to the Challenge Chamber. There, you can choose your opponent for yourself and additionally opt to play either a "Regular" or "Staked" match with them. Like it sounds, a regular match is played simply for fun, while a staked match allows for you and your opponent to bet GP or items on the outcome of the match.
Note: Standard trade restrictions apply to "Staked" matches.
Once you and your opponent have agreed to the match, you'll simply have to decide on a timit-limit for each turn (anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes per) before the game officially begins.
The main objective in the Conquest minigame is to defeat your opponent's squad before he or she can defeat yours. Aside from this, you will also win if your opponent logs out during the match and you accept the victory (although you can wait to see if they log back in and continue playing from there). The only other way to end the match is to offer a truce, which would end the game in a tie if both sides agree to it.
When the match starts, your troops will appear on a large, checkered board (measuring 20x20 squares) in the formation you designated earlier, and your opponent's troops will be situated at the other end of the board. The game will then generate a random coin flip to determine who goes first, and the rest will be up to you.
Note: If you aren't aware, you can adjust your view of the playing board by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard and by moving your cursor across the game screen; clicking a point on the minimap works as well. It is also useful to remember that you can view the "details/attributes" (e.g. health, movement, range, etc...) of each troop on the board by right-clicking them.
If you completed the tutorial, you'll remember that each of your turns consists of a progression of 4 "phases" (unless you decide to end a phase or your turn early). These are the Selection, Movement, Combat, and Rally phases. They are displayed prominently on the minigame interface, as shown above.
The Selection Phase
This is the first phase of the turn. Because Conquest only allows for one troop to be moved every turn, this phase is dedicated to the selection of that troop; choose wisely, since you won't be able to change your mind after this phase ends. When you "select" a troop, it will be highlighted on the board as an indication of this.
The Movement Phase
This is the second phase of the turn. Here, you'll have the opportunity to move the troop you selected in the first phase, but only so far as its "Movement" attribute allows. The troop's range of possible movement is limited to the expanse of blue squares which appear during this phase; you will not be able to move to any unmarked square, so keep that in mind.
The Combat Phase
This is the third phase of the turn. After you've moved your troop, you'll be able to attack any of your opponent's troops, so long as they're within range (as determined by your troop's "Range" attribute). You can only attack once during this phase, so try to target an enemy you can kill immediately. Note that if you attack and fail to kill an enemy, it will be able to retaliate against you (assuming it's in range), causing for your troop to take damage and possibly die.
The Rally Phase
This is the fourth and final phase of the turn. You can no longer move any of your troops or attack the enemy at this point, so this phase primarily serves as preparation; before you end your turn, you can use the remaining time during the Rally phase to consider your plans for next turn.
Command Usage
Commands (the special battlefield effects) can be activated at any time during your turn if the cooldown periods have passed and you have enough Command Points. Also, while you can't use them on your opponent's turn, that doesn't prevent you (for example) from activating a surprise Command during your Rally phase and having the effect last throughout their turn, regardless.
After ending your turn, your opponent will follow suit and attempt to target your troops. This will continue, of course, until one of you defeats the other's entire squad. At that point, the match will come to an end, and the rewards for the game will be distributed accordingly.
Players who manage to skillfully command their squads in defeating their opponents will be rewarded with Void Knight Commendations and an increased Conquest Ranking.
The Commendations are the same as those awarded by the Pest Control minigame, and can be used to purchase a variety of rewards from any Void Knight in the Outpost (see below). The Ranking, on the other hand, reflects players' relative skill in the Conquest minigame; everyone starts with a Ranking of 1000, but that number will either increase or decrease accordingly as they win or lose their Conquest matches.
The number of Commendations and the increase in Ranking a player receives upon winning a match is ultimately dependant on the Ranking of their opponent (e.g. the higher the Ranking of your opponent, the greater number of Commendations/increase in your own Ranking you'll receive should you win). Similarly, should you lose to an opponent of lower Ranking than yourself, your Ranking will decrease by a greater amount; however, it should be noted that you will not lose any Commendations if you lose in a match (only Ranking).
Note: Players who attain a Conquest Ranking of 1250+ will be listed in the Official Hiscores.
The following rewards can be bought from any Void Knight in exchange for Commendations:
A maximum of 500 Commendations can be collected, so it is advised that you spend your Commendations if you reach that amount.
The Void Knight Deflector can only be purchased after attaining a Conquest Ranking of 1250 (or higher) and costs 150 Commendations once it's been unlocked.
The amount of experience gained through the use of Commendations is relative to the level of the chosen skill. Please refer to our Pest Control Calculator and Planner for more information on this.

There are a number of issues to consider when bringing a new dog home and I'm here to inform you a couple of means you can make adjusting simpler. Rinse the Partitions: Once you finish scrubbing the primary part of the wall, take your sponge mop, soak it into the clear water, and ensure you squeeze out all excess water. Then wipe up the scrubbed wall from prime to bottom. That is the opposite of what you probably did earlier than. Be happy to rinse the sponge continuously to get out excess water, and keep the mop clear. You will need to vary the water often; in any other case you are placing the same junk in your partitions that you scrubbed off. An excellent rule of thumb is once the water is now not see-by way of; it's time to get fresh water.
The way in which I do it is much simpler that the way some of us like to make use of a box-in-a-field technique that sandwiches hypertufa and rooster wire in a boxed frame. Grozdanic has additionally developed a test to differentiate the two varieties of retinopathy. Grozdanic shines coloured lights within the canine's eyes to see if the pupils constrict. If the pupils constrict poorly while the doctor uses the red light, and have normal constriction when blue mild is used, the patient most certainly suffers from IMR. If the eyes reply to blue lights, however not pink lights, then the analysis is SARDS.
To discover a rebuild worth, commissioning a survey is most reliable, but it's costly unless you are getting one anyway (eg, should you're shopping for a new house). A much less accurate, but quicker possibility is the Association of British Insurers' calculator. Always attempt to discover heirloom vegetation and trees. Total, they will be tastier, easier to develop, and hardier than different plants that could be fashionable hybrids, and/or have genetically altered DNA. Not all heirlooms can be found on dwarf rootstock, nevertheless many are. Trees of Antiquity gives heirloom varieties.
You would possibly have the ability to get by with a wood stove for warmth, but consider something known as a masonry heater. I desire the ones which are walls, between two rooms. You construct a large hearth in them for a half hour or so, the masonry absorbs, and retains the heat, and they will warmth your house for a day or so. In very cold temperatures you could do it twice a day. One factor, with a masonry heater, you want a damper on the high of your chimney in addition to the underside, to carry within the warm air after the fire goes out.
The three inch display offers you a nice place to view your movies and has contact display screen technology. Something that this digital camera does that not all will do, is take still footage while taking video at the similar time. Your videos are recorded in full HD 1080p video and the camera has a 4x digital zoom. Your still footage are captured at 12.eight MP. Image stabilization has additionally been centered on with this camera and many users find that it really works very well at eliminating the shake and blur you possibly can usually get.

Six-Decade UK Study Of Dairy Consumption Raises More Questions Than Answers
July 27, 2009: 08:47 AM EST
A UK dietary study begun in 1937 and continued through 2005 found an apparent link between childhood dairy consumption and a healthy adulthood. Data indicated that kids who ate dairy foods lived longer and avoided strokes. But experts said it's difficult to say drinking milk was the actual cause. Families who ate a lot of dairy products tended to be more well off economically than those who didn't, for example, and also more likely to eat fruits and vegetables. "I would be wary about saying [longevity] was due to milk consumption," a nutrition expert said.

I only remember bits and pieces of Friday the 13th: The Series. My most vivid memory of this show, aside from the WTF title sequence, was that of white-cloaked women chanting under a tree that bore these creepy flowers.
I've recently had the opportunity to finish that episode, titled "The Tree of Life." Apparently, those women are a coterie of Druids, and their high priestess is an obstetrician named Sybil Oakwood, played to campy perfection by Gale Garnett.
Sybil and Sister Summersisle could be real besties. Dr. Oakwood is not exactly subtle about her magical connections; Summersisle could certainly use some divine intervention with regards to agriculture. Sybil has plenty to learn from Summersisle on Celtic politics, let alone honeymaking. It's really not hard to imagine them in a forest clearing somewhere, before a burning wicker man, as Enya's "The Celts" wafts through the air.


This is an old photograph of ours, taken from an apertment we used to have in Burnaby, the city immediately east of Vancouver. At the time forset fires on Vancouver Island dimmed and coloured the setting sun. More recently we had very thick smoke from fires closer to the city. It reminded us of this picture.
This picture was made some time ago with a Nikon F3 camera onto Kodachrome 200 film.

Q: JSON array not displaying correctly in React Native? I have the following JSON data that's returned from an endpoint via a fetch() call:
[{"username":"\"Hyh\"","name":"GitHub","url_main":"https://www.github.com/","url_user":"","exists":"Illegal","http_status":"","response_time_s":"0.1234"},{"username":"\"Hyh\"","name":"GitLab","url_main":"https://gitlab.com/","url_user":"https://gitlab.com/\"Hyh\"","exists":"Available","http_status":"200","response_time_s":"0.14287607499954902"}]

I'm trying to display it like so:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import {
  View,
  FlatList,
  ActivityIndicator,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  SafeAreaView,
} from "react-native";

const Results = ({ route, navigation }) => {
  const { owner } = route.params;
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  const fetchData = async () => {
    const resp = await fetch(
      "https://endpoint.com/search?user=" + JSON.stringify(owner.text)
    );
    const data = await resp.json();
    setData(JSON.stringify(data));
    setLoading(false);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData();
  }, []);

  const Item = ({ url }) => (
    <View>
      <Text>{url}</Text>
    </View>
  );

  const renderItem = ({ item }) => <Item url={item.url_main} />;

  return (
    <View>
      {loading ? (
        <ActivityIndicator style={styles.loader} size="large" color="#7a16e4" />
      ) : (
        <SafeAreaView>
          <FlatList
            data={data}
            renderItem={renderItem}
            keyExtractor={(item) => item.response_time_s}
          />
        </SafeAreaView>
      )}
    </View>
  );
};

Any idea why nothing is rendering on my screen? I tried replacing my JSON with the JSON data here: https://reactnative.dev/docs/flatlist and it worked. I've confirmed data returns from the fetch through console.log(data).

A: setData(JSON.stringify(data));

you convert the object to string and pass it to the data prop in FlatList which is not correct.
the data prop should be an array
https://reactnative.dev/docs/flatlist#required-data
Your code should look like this
setData(data);

On June 9, a group of Midway volunteers went to the Special Olympics Summer Games at Cal State University Long Beach to cheer on and support the hundreds of athletes that were competing in the games.

When we evaluate LED front light bulb temperature levels, we locate that the fan-based light bulbs run coolest, the flexible braided type or LED front lights bulbs are 2nd, and the nonflexible steel passive light bulbs are 3rd.
What we have actually located is that even though flexible warmth sinks job actually, we see a lot of good results from nonflexible and also fan-based light bulbs. Usually it will have a large metal heatsink of 6000k h7 led on the base with ports to create your surface area and there is no fan as well as there's nothing flexible.
When we discuss a follower base bulb, it's very similar to these non-flexible bulbs but there's a follower built inside. You see the heatsink is formed with a plastic cover that holds a follower if we take an appearance at the diode dynamics sl1.
The follower strikes air on the heatsink to accelerate the air conditioning process.
You have actually obtained something from the CLD car and the fan is straight under framed in the steel housing. You have actually obtained the same thing, but laterally this is a true combination to the Morimoto two-stroke 1.0.
You have a lot of followers that are going to trigger problems as well as they ' re gon after stop working. Well! Say goodbye to so flexible heatsink that gets caked with mud or dirt in time or a passive heatsink that gets corroded or gets caked with mud and dust. They all have their upsides as well as disadvantages.
The fans job as well as when we have market a light bulb with a fan type heatsink, a flexible knotted heatsink or passive heatsink we do not see it fall short. Since the issue with the warmth sink: fan or no follower. Typically, it's an all-component issue or malfunctioning driver or low-quality LED chip.
My number one suggestion for purchasing an LED headlight light bulb you waited for it. The objective I have actually said it a hundred times, imitate the light outcome of the original incandescent bulb because that's what the front lights were created for. As it should be in the same place, this must produce the best beam pattern.
Beam pattern is vital if we can not recreate the initial beam pattern. As well as three CSP LEDs on each side, it is completely incredibly smart, that's the key! If you really look down there at the PCB, that's the circuit board that the LEDs are installed on, it's truly thin.

6 Biggest Environmental Issues in Hong Kong in 2023
CRISIS - Atmospheric CO2 Levels CRISIS - Pollution Crises by Olivia Lai Asia May 22nd 20227 mins
Following the latest IPCC report published in April 2022, warning that it is now or never to limit global warming to 1.5°C, the climate crisis is clearly accelerating at a pace like never before. From deforestation to plastic pollution, there are several factors that are causing the exacerbation of climate change. Here are some of the biggest environmental issues that we face in Hong Kong in 2023.
Biggest Environmental Issues in Hong Kong
1. Outdoor Air Pollution
One of the top environmental issues in Hong Kong is air pollution. According to a study of global mortality and pollution levels published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal, 9 million people around the world die from outdoor air pollution every year. Long-term exposure to severe air pollution also poses serious health problems ranging from chronic respiratory infections and diseases to increased risk of cancer.
Based on Hong Kong Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) records, street-level air pollution in densely populated areas including Causeway Bay, Central and Mong Kok often exceed WHO guidelines, reflecting a sizeable number of Hong Kong residents breathing in air that contains high levels of pollutants every day.
Causes of air pollution in Hong Kong derive from sources like fossil fuel motor vehicles and regional smog, which is caused by pollutants from marine vessels and industrial power plants within the city and from mainland China.
Though the Hong Kong government has announced plans to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, the current rate of carbon emissions shows no signs of slowing down. As for 2021, the number of private motor vehicles registered in Hong Kong reaches up to 657,000, nearly 30,000 more vehicles compared to the previous year. Despite being home to one of the best public transportation systems in the world, Hong Kong residents still heavily rely on private cars when commuting in the city and that proportion continues to grow with each passing year. Within the past decade, the volume of private cars has increased by almost a third, contributing massive amounts of carbon emissions in the city.

While the government has made efforts to regulate emissions from industrial power plants and marine vessels that pass through our waters, smog from the Pearl River Delta region has proven difficult to control. Collaboration efforts with Guangdong authorities have been made in improving air quality in the Great Bay Area region, but improvements in air quality have yet to be seen.

2. Landfill Waste
One of the most glaring environmental issues Hong Kong currently faces is landfill waste. Every year, about 4.17 million tonnes of solid waste make its way to our landfills, and during to the coronavirus pandemic, local waste has exponentially grown thanks to the increased use of food takeout boxes, plastic cutleries and single-use masks. Landfill gases, which are emissions from landfills decompose organic waste, will continue to surge as a result and contribute towards global warming, especially when you consider 40-60% of landfill emissions are methane gases, and have 10 times the warming potential than carbon dioxide.
As one of the most densely populated cities in the world with a population of almost 7.5 million people, Hong Kong is in an immensely difficult position to create new dedicated landfills sites. Reducing and recycling waste is the only viable long term solution in dealing with the city's insurmountable landfill waste problem. And while the Waste Charging Scheme passed by the Legislative Council in late 2021 – 16 years after it was first proposed – is a good first step, much more is needed to tackle the issue.
3. Plastic Pollution
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, Hong Kong generate about 3.9 billion disposable food and drink containers every year. This amounts to 170 takeaway meals and 180 disposal drinks for every Hongkonger. As restaurants limit opening hours and seating capacities during the pandemic, people rely on takeaway options and the amount of plastic containers and cutleries used and disposed of has only soared. In 2020, plastics made up 21% of the city's total municipal solid waste (MSW), accounting for the third-largest share of MSW after food waste and paper. The city's beaches and waterways are drowning in plastic, and microplastic levels in the sea are 40% higher than the global average. According to estimates, more than 5,000 pieces of microplastic can be found in every square metre of sea.
Some F&B companies have made the effort to adopt biodegradable and even compostable takeaway packaging and utensils, but a majority of local restaurants and small businesses still opt for low-cost materials like styrofoam.
The lack of an efficient recycling infrastructure is a major contributing factor in the plastic crisis in Hong Kong. In 2019, less than 20% of plastic packaging waste was recycled due to the lack of adequate recycling facilities. Prior to China's Waste Ban, where the country placed a ban on importing unprocessed materials, Hong Kong used to offload the city's rubbish to the mainland for recycling. Since the policy implementation, Hong Kong has yet developed enough recycling plants to compensate. While some government interventions such as the Plastic Recycling Pilot Scheme seem to be working, as Hong Kong experienced a 27% increase in locally recycled plastics in 2020, plastic problem is still haunting the city.

4. Food Waste
Known as an international food paradise, Hong Kong has a reputation for affordable and a stunning variety of international cuisines. Consequently, this means that food waste is equally high in the city and without a doubt one of the biggest environmental issues that Hong Kong faces.
Food waste in Hong Kong accounts for about 30% of municipal solid waste that goes straight to landfills. In 2019, a recorded 1,067 tonnes of food waste were produced from commercial and industrial sources such as restaurants, hotels and wet markets. The amount of food waste has also been on the rise especially in the F&B industry where it grew from 800 tonnes per day in 2012 to 1,000 tonnes of waste generated per day in 2019.
While the government has introduced educational initiatives and an operating organic waste recovery center OPARK, over 3,600 tonnes of food waste are still being sent to Hong Kong's landfills each day, contributing to over hundred thousand tonnes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

5. Biodiversity Loss
Hong Kong has surprisingly rich biodiversity thanks to its large natural terrain and coastal waters. In fact, 40% of the city's land belongs to country parks and protected areas, which supports more than 3,300 species of vascular plants, 57 species of terrestrial mammals, and more than 540 species of birds. Our waters also support over 1,000 species of fishes, too.
However, in order to make space for the city's already dense and growing population, Hong Kong has devoted much effort in urbanisation and land reclamation. Land development, be it deforestation or illegal waste dumping, is one of the growing environmental issues be in Hong Kong, and has led to significant impacts to the local biodiversity and habits.
The pink dolphin, also known as the Chinese white dolphin, is a prime example of how local species are threatened by continued land development. The waters surrounding Hong Kong have been part of the dolphins' habitat for centuries, with recorded sightings going back to the Tang Dynasty. The number of pink dolphins that frequent Hong Kong coastlines has dropped to about 300 in recent years due to heavy vessel traffic and most importantly, its shrinking habitat. The development of the Chek Lap Kok island, which is home to the Hong Kong International Airport, and the associated land reclamation have reduced the amount of fish dolphins can eat while dredging has unearthed pollution from the seafloor causing water pollution. A massive 1,700 hectares land reclamation plan near the easter waters of Lantau Island that was proposed in 2018 will further deteriorate the dolphin habitat as well as increase vulnerabilities to rising sea levels.
Another serious threat to Hong Kong biodiversity is illegal wildlife trafficking. The city is home to one of the largest hubs for the illegal wildlife trafficking industry thanks to its free ports, geographical location in the Greater Bay Area and accessibility to other Asian countries. Every year, the city sees millions of live animals and their derivatives pass through its ports. In 2019 alone, more than 7,000 endangered animals were illegally traded in the city, including pangolins and live turtles. However a landmark bill was passed in August 2021 which will treat illegal wildlife trading and seizures as a serious crime while placing greater attention on organised criminals and networks instead of carriers and mules. The passage of the amendment aims to deter smuggling operations and supply networks in the city.
6. Water Pollution
Hong Kong is a unique city surrounded by the South China Sea, where marine waters cover about 1700 km² and home to a wide range of different marine environments. In the early 1970s and 80s, most of the city's sewage and wastewater were discharged into the sea, with little to no treatment. As a result, Hong Kong waters experienced a surge in organic and inorganic pollutants, a reduction of oxygen content, and increased bacteria levels. By 2005, Hong Kong generated about 2 million tonnes of wastewater as well as industrial effluents every day, making it one of the main sources of water pollution in Hong Kong.
Marine pollution has also been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic as an additional 4,680 to 6,240 metric tonnes of marine plastic waste made its way into the Hong Kong waters. An estimated 1.56 billion face masks were dumped into the ocean during this period, which experts have said will take as long as 450 years to break down. Microplastics from single-use masks are also incredibly harmful to marine life and the ecosystem, potentially killing up to 100,000 marine mammals and turtles, and over a million seabirds.

Let us look at them together, not only because they are always placed next to each other in the lists of the Twelve (cf. Mt 10: 3, 4; Mk 3: 18; Lk 6: 15; Acts 1: 13), but also because there is very little information about them, apart from the fact that the New Testament Canon preserves one Letter attributed to Jude Thaddaeus.
Simon is given a nickname that varies in the four lists: while Matthew and Mark describe him as a "Cananaean", Luke instead describes him as a "Zealot".
In fact, the two descriptions are equivalent because they mean the same thing: indeed, in Hebrew the verb qanà' means "to be jealous, ardent" and can be said both of God, since he is jealous with regard to his Chosen People (cf. Ex 20: 5), and of men who burn with zeal in serving the one God with unreserved devotion, such as Elijah (cf. I Kgs 19: 10).
Then with regard to Jude Thaddaeus, this is what tradition has called him, combining two different names: in fact, whereas Matthew and Mark call him simply "Thaddaeus" (Mt 10: 3; Mk 3: 18), Luke calls him "Judas, the son of James" (Lk 6: 16; Acts 1: 13).
The nickname "Thaddaeus" is of uncertain origin and is explained either as coming from the Aramaic, taddà', which means "breast" and would therefore suggest "magnanimous", or as an abbreviation of a Greek name, such as "Teodòro, Teòdoto".
Very little about him has come down to us. John alone mentions a question he addressed to Jesus at the Last Supper: Thaddaeus says to the Lord: "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?".
This is a very timely question which we also address to the Lord: why did not the Risen One reveal himself to his enemies in his full glory in order to show that it is God who is victorious? Why did he only manifest himself to his disciples? Jesus' answer is mysterious and profound. The Lord says: "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him" (Jn 14: 22-23).
The paternity of one of those New Testament Letters known as "catholic", since they are not addressed to a specific local Church but intended for a far wider circle, has been attributed to Jude Thaddaeus. Actually, it is addressed "to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ" (v. 1).
A major concern of this writing is to put Christians on guard against those who make a pretext of God's grace to excuse their own licentiousness and corrupt their brethren with unacceptable teachings, introducing division within the Church "in their dreamings" (v. 8).
This is how Jude defines their doctrine and particular ideas. He even compares them to fallen angels and, mincing no words, says that "they walk in the way of Cain" (v. 11).
Furthermore, he brands them mercilessly as "waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever" (vv. 12-13).
Today, perhaps, we are no longer accustomed to using language that is so polemic, yet that tells us something important. In the midst of all the temptations that exist, with all the currents of modern life, we must preserve our faith's identity. Of course, the way of indulgence and dialogue, on which the Second Vatican Counsel happily set out, should certainly be followed firmly and consistently.
Thus, the text of the Letter continues: "But you, beloved" – he is speaking to all of us -, "build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And convince some, who doubt…" (vv. 20-22).
The Letter ends with these most beautiful words: "To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God, our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen" (vv. 24-25).


This certification is voluntary, with the aim of communicating, to those interested, the environmental information of the product in relation to the percentage of recycled materials incorporated into the manufacturing process of the ceramic tile.
Specifically, this certification has been awarded for a wide variety of models within the category of glazed porcelain stoneware and white biscuit singled-fired porous wall tiles, having recycled material of between 15% and 25% of its weight in porcelain tiles, and between 20 and 26% for the wall tiles.
This information is very useful for obtaining points in the certification of building projects based on criteria of sustainability and high efficiency, such as the LEED international system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).


After giving birth, your body is weakened. Actually you would need for this exciting but stressful experience once vacation. However, waiting for a young mother tasks that require a lot of strength and a stable constitution. The all-round care of a newborn can quickly lead to the physical limits.

In pregnancy, calcium reduces from the bones and teeth. To populate the memory again, you take every morning and evening please milk meal, eg in the morning and the evening cereal hot milk with honey. Calcium is also found in dairy products like cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese and some vegetables such as kale and broccoli.
In a varied diet in childbed plenty of bread, cereals, potatoes, rice and pasta should be. Pay attention to carbohydrates, as you provide such as whole grains. Fruits and vegetables, there should be daily.
Do not perform any type of diet right after birth. You need your strength now! This is particularly true if you are breastfeeding. The iodine requirements of a breastfeeding is 30 percent, the iron requirements by 33 percent, the folic acid requirements by 50 percent and the zinc requirement by 57 percent higher than that of a non-breastfeeding mother.

A classic of the diet in the postpartum is the way the chicken soup. Following this recipe it is administered every woman in China as the first meal after the birth, so that they as soon as possible its life energy - in China Qi or Chi called - and the blood can build up again. The longer the soup is cooked, the more Qi it contains.
Ingredients:2-3 liters of water, 1 fresh chicken soup with bones in organic quality, a little rosemary, 2-3 carrots cut into pieces, fennel, celery and leeks to taste, 1 bay leaf, 1 handful parsley, 1 slice fresh ginger, salt, pepper.
Preparation:Put water in a large pot and add all ingredients. For at least 3-5 hours on low heat to simmer, always give water. In the first weeks after giving birth two to three cups of soup (just Sud or with vegetables and meat) take each day. So you can quickly regain your strength!
A good idea, if you have no way to seek care in the postpartum period is a day with food, during the last weeks to cook before the due date on stock and freeze!
At least 9 months you should give yourself and your body time to regain some degree a "normal state". If you still silent, even longer. After about up to this point are still many regression processes underway. Allow yourself so to eat and to enjoy your old character will return -. just maybe not quite as fast as you want it.

Israel was hardly interested in seemingly bold initiatives to resolve the conflict, either by the Arabs, the Americans, or any others. However, Israeli leaders still felt that the initiative was significant, at least if placed within historical context. When the Arab initiative was re-endorsed, this time by the majority of Arab leaders in the Arab League Summit in Saudi Arabia in 2007, the then Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, had a most expressive response. On the one hand, he hailed the initiative as a "revolutionary change," but, on the other, he stripped its content of any practical value. The return of Palestinian refugees is "out of the question," he told the Jerusalem Post at the time. "I'll never accept a solution that is based on their return to Israel, any number," he said.
However, what Olmert—as with current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—was keenly interested in was the idea of "unconditional normalization." He told the daily Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth that he saw "a real chance that, within five years, Israel will be able to reach an inclusive peace deal with its enemies." Circumventing the Palestinians and signing peace deals with Arab countries to break Israel's regional isolation has been paramount in Israeli foreign policy since its very inception in 1948. Since then, it has signed a peace deal with Egypt and Jordan and has had informal contacts and ties with various other governments.
This partly explains Abbas'—as well as his Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki's—insistence on referencing the Arab Peace Initiative instead of, for example, the defunct Oslo Accord or any specific UN resolution. It is his way of saying that any normalization between the Arabs and Israel should take place through the Palestinian channel, and particularity though his leadership in Ramallah. Of course, Israel does not mind the renewed interest in the initiative, simply because it could galvanize efforts, led by the Americans, to achieve normalization with the Arabs without peace with the Palestinians first.
The initiative is "revolutionary" from the Israeli viewpoint because of such a reference. This becomes more evident when one recalls the Arab Summit in Khartoum in September 1967, following the Arab defeat by Israel, in which victory was achieved and bankrolled by the US. Although the summit then had abandoned or diluted much of its pre-war language—insisting on the geographical unity of historic Palestine, demanding without reservation the right of return—it proclaimed its famous "three nos": no to diplomatic recognition of Israel; no to a peace deal; and no to negotiations without complete, full, and unconditional Israeli withdrawal of land occupied by force.
Although historians often attempt to paint the Arab position there as radical, that was hardly the case if analyzed within its historical context. Their position was consistent with international law and Resolution 242 in particular. Moreover, they—the Arabs—tried to send a message to Israel and the US, who tried to use the astounding defeat to exact concessions and impose humiliating conditions on the Arabs as a result of the war. They also feared protracted, futile negotiations while Israel was enriching its occupation of Palestinian, Arab land.
The Arab Peace Initiative appeared to Israel as a complete departure from that position, especially as it was made when the Second Palestinian Intifada was at its bloodiest stages. Just days after the initiative was made, Israel besieged the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, attacking it with unprecedented ferocity. The death toll of the two-week battle (known as the Jenin Massacre) exceeded 60, with nearly 300 wounded, hundreds more arrested, most of the camp bulldozed, and its residents expelled.
What Israel had then gleaned from the initiative is that, while Arabs are proposing generous peace, Israel was free to conduct its military occupation as it saw fit. Since the initiative was proposed in 2002, much more blood has been shed, the settlements have grown to constitute an irreversible reality, occupied East Jerusalem has been completely cut off, a so-called separation wall (known to Palestinians as the "Apartheid Wall") further seized massive swathes of Palestinian land, Gaza has fallen under a perpetual siege, and the "peace process" has become a thing of the past.
Worse still, since Donald Trump was elected to the White House, he has further contributed to the demise of any prospect of a just solution to the crisis and has pushed America's support of Israel to new levels. Trump also assigned his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew and a strong supporter of Israel's rightwing, to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians. In fact, only days ago, Trump's pick for US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, was approved by the US Senate. Friedman is controversial, even in the eyes of some Israelis, due to his close association with extremist Jewish parties that labor to seize Palestinian Muslim and Christian properties in occupied East Jerusalem.
Under the guise of peacemaking, Kushner and Friedman are likely to focus on advancing Israel's position and standing in the region. For them, the issue of normalization is at the helm of their prospective policies. This explains the Palestinian insistence on the Arab Peace Initiative. It is not because the initiative carries a magical formula towards peace. The anxiety lies in Palestinian fear that Trump's Middle East policy will focus on trying to break down whatever little consensus Arab countries still have on Palestine.
Abbas, who is heading to Washington later this month, knows only too well that his position is terribly weak and, without Arab backing, however symbolic, he will find himself cornered by a belligerent Trump regime. While the US administration may rebrand its approach to the conflict, what truly interests Israel and its American backers is breaking Israel's isolation through regional "peace" pacts and separate deals—in other words, normalization under occupation.

Car 1973 Alfa Romeo 2000GTV : Only 11,942 miles from new !
The "2000" was introduced in 1971 as a replacement for the hugely popular 1750 range. It was offered as a saloon, a coupe and a spider and it became an immediate sales success. Styled by Guigiaro and bodied by Bertone, the delicate balance of bodywork, glass area and chrome was ground breaking at the time and still appears fresh today. The interior was updated with a new dashboard, featuring separate binnacles for the instruments and some subtly placed wood effect trim highlights replacing the heavy grey crackle finish of earlier vehicles.
Powered by a 1962cc variant of the much loved all aluminium twin-cam, in-line 4 cylinder engine which produced 130 BHP at 5500 rpm, the GTV was a spirited performer which thanks to its 5 speed gearbox was also able to be a long distance tourer. Advanced for its time with the fitment of disc brakes all round as standard and a revised suspension set up from the earlier models, the 2000 GTV was a true all-rounder. A fast, nimble and rewarding sports car to drive "Con Brio", it was a vehicle that was also useable daily, with the ability to carry 4 passengers and luggage over great distances in some comfort and considerable style when required!
Our exceptionally original, low mileage example has covered only 11,942 miles from new and is a most beautifully presented example. Delivered new to northern Italy on the 26th of September 1973 finished in Blu Scuro, (Midnight Blue) with a contrasting Crema interior, it remained in Italy throughout its life, as can be seen from the collection of original documents, including the owner's manual and service book that are offered with the vehicle. Still in its original livery and beautifully detailed both inside and out, this achingly pretty little Alfa Romeo must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Could you most challenging relationship secretly be your biggest advocate- Lessons from Strictly Come Dancing winners
Cara Macklin is a trained leadership coach and director of Macklin Care Homes, who launched Milesian Manor Lifestyle Care Home in Magherafelt- a first-of-its-kind in Northern Ireland.
In this article, Women in Business Outstanding Innovation award winner and IoD finalist Director of the Year for Innovation Cara, talks about her views …
You're probably thinking to yourself, what have the winners of Strictly Come Dancing got to do with challenging people you work with in business?
Before I get to that, I want you to cast your memory back to think of a really difficult person. Or maybe it's more than one! Is it a customer that you dread answering the call when their name appears on your phone? No matter what you do for them, they're not happy and want more. What's worse, they're not even one of your best customers. Or maybe it's a team member, who disagrees with every idea you put forward and gives reasons why it won't work. You know before you even mention it in a meeting, negative ned will be very vocal to challenge you.
That brings me to this year's Strictly Come Dancing final last Saturday night. Winners, professional dancer Kevin Clifton and journalist Stacey Dooley were crowned Strictly Come Dancing champions despite receiving the lowest judges scores. But like every success in business, it wasn't always plain sailing. Stacey started as a complete beginner in week one being ranked 11th out of 15, moved up and down the leader board every week before being crowned the overall winner.
Sounds just like daily life in business. Even in the final, Stacey and Kevin had a few more storms to weather, namely dance expert and judge Craig Revel Horwood. Despite receiving full marks for their dances from other judges, Craig scored them lower, and gave them critical feedback saying, "I wasn't keen on the dance. For me it didn't work."
Like in business, experts have a huge influence and we assume people always listen and follow them. But in this instance, the public disagreed, and voted Kevin and Stacey as the winners. Even the experts can get their predictions wrong, something I think we can lose sight of in business.
Although I agreed with some of Craig's feedback, I was really surprised by his lower scores in their last dance, as it was brilliant. After the scores professional dancer Kevin was getting more frustrated with Craig, implying that it was personal to him saying, "I expect it from you Craig, every year it's the same. One day I'll impress you Craig. Every year!"
This had been Kevin's fifth Strictly Come Dancing final, and he said no matter what he did he was never able to do enough to impress Craig. Does that remind you of that difficult customer, or negative ned on your team? You could see throughout the show in Kevin's body language, he was resigned to the fact he wasn't going to win.
But, roll forward to the end of the show, when Kevin and Stacey were announced as winners, he dropped to the floor totally emotional and couldn't speak. When the camera moved to show the judges reactions I noticed Craig was beaming with delight and I thought to myself "did he secretly really want Kevin and Stacey to win?"
Craig is the nasty judge on Strictly Come Dancing, and often gets booed by the public for his harsh criticism of the dancers. I have this theory, "did Craig give such harsh criticism so that the public would get angry, and fuel them to vote for Kevin and Stacey?" Hopefully one day if I met him I could ask.
So back to business and the lesson we can learn. People who know me, understand I find it difficult to work with negative people. Although I love working on teams where people challenge each other and ideas, I can't stand negative neds who constantly complain saying, "that will never work around here." Advice I was given early in my career from a very successful Managing Director, "the most awkward customers in the sales process have ended up my most difficult customers' long term. Looking back now I'm not sure I would have taken on the business again."
Having watched the Strictly Come Dancing final, there's a small part of me will now consider maybe there secretly is a strong advocate in that really challenging person, an employee who tells outsiders what a great place this is to work.
Now don't get me wrong, I won't go full circle and enjoy the difficult employee or complaining customer, because there are times we just have to admit no matter how hard we try or what we do we won't keep everyone happy. But maybe just sometimes there is a lesson to learn and a secret advocate hiding among those challenging people.
Maybe they know you are doing a great job, and want to keep pushing you to continue to deliver the best. What do you think? Have you found any secret advocates, or turned a challenging relationship into one of your biggest supporters.
And finally remember, the next time a so called expert tells you something won't work you don't have to listen to them because they too can get it wrong and just when you're about to give up you never know what success is about to happen.

"I am extremely proud to say that I teach Music at UCSB, a world-class university that allows me access to some of the best minds and brightest students in the world. It is a daily challenge to be up to task in giving my best to the department, campus, and local communities as a professional musician and educator. It also allows me opportunities to work across the campus in various capacities and, as a part time lecturer, allows me to continue to pursue a healthy professional performing career.
The past five years have been especially exciting for me personally and professionally. In the fall of 2011, I completed my first Ironman Triathlon (2.4 Miles Swimming, 112 Miles Cycling, 26.2 Miles Running) widely regarded as the world's most challenging athletic event, especially true after a June 2011 bike crash left me with a broken collarbone and collapsed left lung. Endurance training has taught me the importance of organization and an understanding of our physical selves and how to apply those ideas to music preparation and performance. I have since completed two more Ironmans and a number of other endurance events, including the extremely grueling Red Rock 50 mile trail race, held here in Santa Barbara. In 2013, I spent a summer at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in southern Utah as percussionist and drummer for three different musical theatre productions. Each of these different productions tested my abilities and experience as a musician and percussionist, and I played over 100 performances for perhaps 30,000 total audience members over the course of my time there.
Even more personally significant is recent work I have done in musical theatre, drama, and dance. Since 2013, as a music director, I have worked in some capacity on seven productions at Santa Barbara High School's Music Theatre, directed by Otto Layman. Fresh off the success of last Fall's "Pippin", which featured a band comprised mostly of recent UCSB students, we are currently preparing "Hair" (opening in late April), which deals with themes of war, death, freedom, and politics: all relevant topics for today's students. I have also been active with UCSB's Department of Theatre and Dance, currently teaching a class on the intersection of music and dance, and having acted as music director/consultant for three main stage productions: "In the Red Brown Water" (Spring 2015, Shirley Jo Finney, director), "Venus" (Fall 2015, Tom Whitaker, director), and currently in production the Launchpad Production new work by Idris Goodwin, "We Want the Funk: A Rustbelt Lullaby" (Risa Brainin, director). "Venus" was especially satisfying personally because there was no music associated with the play, and the director and I developed a concept for the production that I then created music for and produced with a trio of UCSB Jazz Ensemble musicians, who played live for every performance of the production.
One of the highlights of my last two years has been an association with UCSB's Office of Public Affairs as Music Producer for UCSB Amplified, a video series created to spotlight the abundance of musical performing talent in the UCSB community, from our own Music Department students and faculty, to students and faculty in other departments, and university staff and alumni. The Fall 2016 releases (Season 3) brought performances from the newly opened library and a collaboration between voice faculty member Isabel Bayrakdarian and UCSB's Middle East Ensemble, Scott Marcus director, and much more.

My technology habits are eccentric. I use an old fashioned, non-Internet connected Samsung flip phone with a postage-stamp size screen. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, and my RSS reader is an emaciated husk, subsisting on a small number of feeds, mainly the blogs of friends. Long ago, I configured Gmail to automatically mark every message as read when it arrives in my inbox, frustrating my attempts to perform distracting quick scans for new messages during the day.
The rational foundation of my eccentricity is the increasingly alarming research coming out of Stanford's Communication between Humans and Interactive Media (CHIMe) lab. Pioneering researchers from this lab are converging on a scary consensus. It's long been understood that you're less productive when you're constantly switching your attention; that is, the claimed benefits of multitasking are false. Researchers at the CHIMe lab, however, have found that the impact of electronic multitasking goes beyond the momentary sense of distraction, it can also create permanent changes in the brain.
As reported in a recent New York Times article, subjects who were identified as multitaskers did "a significantly worse job" on experimental tasks that required them to filter out irrelevant information — even though they weren't multitasking during the experiment.
This is why I invest so much effort in isolating myself from electronic distraction. In my two fields, theoretical computer science and writing, the ability to focus on hard things for long uninterrupted periods is my most valuable currency. If I lose this ability, I might also lose my livelihood.
That's the rational explanation for my behavior. If you want the emotional explanation, however, turn your (perhaps distracted) attention from Stanford's CHIMe lab to my blog e-mail inbox.
A student who I'll call Ron recently sent me an e-mail with an ominous title: Loss of Focus.
Ron, as it turned out, was having trouble with the "grin and bear" part of this equation.
You mention that hard focus is necessary. I agree, but my question is: How can I focus on difficult, unenjoyable, painful tasks?


In contrary to Germany and Poland – real estate sales contract in Austria does not require a form of a notarial deed. Also different from the Polish law the buyer acquires property not with signing a contract, but with the entry in the land register. Due to guarantee safety of the transaction one should entrust a lawyer with its conduct. The lawyer prepares all required documents, accompanies the parties as a trustee under the supervision of Bar Chamber and conducts the transaction in cooperation with a financing bank institute. The trustee usually represents the parties before the Land Register Court and the Inland Revenue.

Marie (Anne Parillaud) is a very appealing modern-day vampire in Pittsburgh, with a moral code that limits her bloodsucking to the criminal elements of society.

Undercover cop Joseph Gennaro (Anthony LaPaglia) visits the crime scene, but is taken off his assignment of infiltrating the crime family of Salvatore 'The Shark' Macelli (Robert Loggia) and put into protective custody by District Attorney Sinclair (Angela Bassett) for being witnessed at the crime scene by the media.

I don't even know where to begin on this one. I finished this book three entire weeks ago and haven't written a review yet because I literally can't figure out where to start. I'll just be blunt and openly editorial.
This book is one of the best I've ever read. Book, was your word there. Not biography. Not war history. Not Christian nonfiction. Book. Granted, for me it was the perfect storm from the word 'go' – I love biography, war history, and Christian nonfiction. I also love learning about pastor-theologians. So I was admittedly predestined to love this book. Regardless, I would suggest this book to anyone. It's a compelling story, and it happens to be true.
For those not in the know concerning the man about whom the book was written (like me, prior to reading it), Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian who did his best to sabotage Adolf Hitler during the 1930s-40s. Sometimes his tactics were in secret; sometimes they were in the open. Whatever the action, Bonhoeffer moved against the Nazi government with smart, calculated plans that included no element of self-concern whatsoever.
