Run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac With Few Clicks without any knowledge of coding, programming, using Android difficult to follow simulation setup. As basically most webmasters pays hired writers to write post on behalf, they copy paste the idea from usually well known websites, the variation is never seen, the suggested 'usual' way to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac is basically using Android SDK, thats a developers tool and quite hard to use by even an advanced user. The practical part is – even if WhatApp installed in that way, the mobile network of some countries will never allow to get the SMS for verification as a safety measure. Even if you manage for the voice verification, it will not get verified, because the ISP will detect the cheat and prevent it. For Mac, it is very common, for Windows PC, it also happens. The theory that does not work is a junk, here is the fool proof ways with explanation to Run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac With Few Clicks. No knowledge of programming is required to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac With Few Clicks in this way.
If you read our article, details of WhatsApp and Extra Addons, you will understand there are quite high level difficulties to actually simulate to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac, if the ISP and Country is quite aware of the users' security. If the security is breeched, US or India can be blown by those terrorists, as they will enjoy to use almost free (free for 1st year, $1 per year subsequently). Most dangerously, a rented server could have been used to fool. So, the basic thing is – we need to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac in some legit way so the gateways will not prevent either the protocol by the computer by Firewall or by the ISP.
First the device for connection should be an prototype USB modem which actually supports SMS and optionally Voice Call (in case SMS fails) with a SIM Card from your ISP with 3G which uses a VPN, support for Voice and SMS facility. So technically the ideal USIM (Universal SIM) to Run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac should be of an Android Device which actually supports these features but not never has been activated for WhatsApp. People fails first due to this proper hardware and ISP setup, plus Operating System level Firewall blocks sending SMS thinking the work is done by a keylogger.
It is moron's thought to get a SMS over a leased line, how much you pay does not matter. Without these basics, no one in this World can get rid of the error in verification process to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac. With the proper setup if you are unable to carry out, the Firewall is preventing to allow the App which is simulating, or WhatsApp itself or natively has blocked the port. Android is actually configured like a server on VPN. This will give you the lead, how technically difficult can be the process to solve errors to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac.
In one sentence – your USB Modem should hardware wise emulate as a verified Android.
If your USB Modem supports voice protocol, use voice verification, the failure is due to your Operating System's firewall or Port settings. It is quite difficult to setup the port if you lack knowledge on Networking on UNIX. You have to set it like a server. WhatsApp is not an Open Source software, so you have to open all the common ports. Search with ports in this website to get some articles. You will forget your own name for proper setup under Windows as the port 80 should point towards this (virtual) BlueStack's public folder. It is better to buy a phone running Android, really in that case.
Another way is to swap the USB modem's USIM quickly keeping the Apps opened and insert to the original real android and click the verification via Voice. Write it or type it, swap the USIM again quickly and connect to internet, you should get verified with 80% probability. If your Modem's software sends a failure header more quickly, a separate secure session of connection will start (as it is a VPN), it is unlikely to get verified. Thankfully, on Windows this happens slowly as if hanging. On Mac you will not get this chance, I have tested it.
Third is to use Virtualization to run Android OS (please search this website) on Windows or Mac without using this BlueStack software. I have not tested.
So actually you can run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac, but the need is quite high and out of reach by the most. Do not use the same USIM to run WhatsApp on Windows PC or Apple Mac which is of an Android device with already having an active WhatsApp account. Your number and device will be barred by the system.

Q: Swift push notification received but not popped up I've added to my app the remote notification feature, I can receive push notifications, but when I receive it, there is no automatic popup displayed.
here it my AppDelegate code:
func application( application: UIApplication,
                  didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
    print("Notification received: \(userInfo)")
    GCMService.sharedInstance().appDidReceiveMessage(userInfo);
    // Handle the received message
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(messageKey, object: nil,userInfo: userInfo)

my app is correctly connected to GCM Server, and I receive the following logs while receiving a notification:
Notification received: [collapse_key: do_not_collapse, from: 22334444232]

on the server side, I'm sending a basic Payload such as:
{{"aps":{"alert":"Hello world!","badge":0, "sound": "default"}, "to":"MY_TOKEN_KEY", }

any idea why my app is not treating automatically the notification received ?
EDIT1:
I also tried to change the message payload to match Google's GCM tutorial for IOS:
https://gcm-http.googleapis.com/gcm/send
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:key=AIzaSyZ-1u...0GBYzPu7Udno5aA

{
  "to" : "bk3RNwTe3H0:CI2k_HHwgIpoDKCIZvvDMExUdFQ3P1...",
  "notification" : {
    "body" : "Hello world",
"title" : "alert data"
}

}
but still just getting didReceiveRemoteNotification function called with the following logs:
Notification received : [aps: {
alert =     {
    body = "Hello world";
    title = "alert data";
};

}, gcm.message_id: 0:1470516999022408%f1xxxxxx....]

Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth accompanies young children.
Plan and discuss the trick-or-treat route your children intend to follow. This is ideally a well-lit, well-populated course. Instruct your kids to stick to this route, and establish what time they should return home.
Write your child's name, address, and phone number on a piece of paper, and slip it in a pocket or pin it to his or her costume in case your child gets separated from the group.
Review pedestrian safety rules with your children, including looking both ways before crossing the street and not crossing the street between parked cars.
Remind your children to stop only at homes that are well-lit, and to never enter a stranger's house.
If you're driving your kids around to trick-or-treat, make sure they get out of your car on the curb side of the road.
Instruct your kids not to eat any of their treats until they get home. Examine candy for breaks in packaging. Be sure to wash any fruit and cut it into small pieces before giving it to your kids to eat.
Keep candy (especially chocolate!) away from pets.
Knives, swords, and other costume accessories should be made from cardboard or flexible material. Sharp toys present all sorts of dangers, including injuring your child if he or she trips and falls on it. Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injuries on Halloween.
Trim trick-or-treat bags with reflective tape.
Give your children flashlights to carry so they can be more visible to motorists.
If your child is wearing a mask, make sure that it has large holes for the eyes and mouth. Also, avoid hats that will slide over your child's eyes.
Choose a costume that is flame-retardant.
Avoid giving treats that can be harmful to young children, including gum, peanuts, hard candies, and small toys. Also, remember that many children have food allergies to peanuts and dairy products.
When carving pumpkins, kids should not be allowed to use knives. It's best to let children clean out the pumpkin and draw a face on it.
If you set out jack-o-lanterns on your sidewalk or porch, be sure there is enough room for kids to pass in groups without the danger of costumes catching on fire.
Explain to your children the consequences of vandalism, such as toilet papering, egging, and disturbing animals or animal cruelty. All are unacceptable and punishable by law.
Happy Halloween – stay safe, and have a great time!

What do you think of Muslims?
Posted on January 8, 2018 October 27, 2019
Response to this question on Quora
On reflection my first reaction was that 8000 years ago on the lands of Tigress and Euphrates the foundations of our civilization were laid.
My second reaction is, after having spoken in the past with elderly men or women in different Muslim Societies, looking at drawing and paintings, one can conclude these Societies were a century ago secular and very moderate.
That leads to the conclusion that like in every main religion, fundamentalism has erupted as a rebellion against 20th 21st century modernity. As Karen Armstrong noted:
"Every fundamentalist movement I have studied in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is convinced that liberal, secular society is determined to wipe out religion. Fighting as they imagine, a battle for survival, fundamentalists often feel justified in ignoring the more compassionate principals of their faith. But in amplifying the more aggressive passages that exist in all our scriptures they distort the tradition."
The vast majority of Muslims are horrified by the atrocities by those who have violently hijacked Islam for their own purposes and they must reclaim it.
In all of this, we in the West tend to forget that Islam, next to being a religion, is one of the greatest cultures on earth which has enriched us and the people of Mesopotamia contributed greatly to our present day civilization. They were the first who mastered the wheel, used the wind for their sailing boats and developed the concepts of number and weights further. These early advancements in science and culture laid the foundation for European Renaissance, Enlightenment and our modern Western Society.
In the golden age of Islam, traditionally dated from the mid-8th to the mid 13th century A.D. but lately extended to the 15th and 16th century A.D., leaders from Mohammed (570-632 A.D.) to Suleiman the Magnificent (1494-1566) contributed greatly to the advancement of humanity, they championed religious tolerance and encouraged intellectual development and sponsored artistic, architectural and literacy works which are beyond brilliant.
Scholars like Ibn Al-Haytham, Ibn Sina, Al-Tusi, AL-Kwarizmi and Omar Khayyam contributed greatly to Mathematics, Civil Engineering, Astronomy, Law and Medicine, which would not have existed today in their present form without the contribution of Muslim scholars. They paved the way for Newton and Copernicus.
Beautiful music was composed and great poetry was written, while it developed some of the earliest social structures, including large public hospitals and the first universities. Babylon's power fluctuated over time but it retained its influence as a cultural, religious and political center for over 4000 years.
Looking at our modern 21st Society, we cannot avoid the conclusion that we in the West have greatly contributed to the changes in Islam like we have done everywhere in the World and have influenced and changed its social face.
The decolonization of Northern Africa and the Middle East played a role, but with this came further destabilization of the region, National militants, a destructive Marxist ideology and ultimately these developments led to links and inclusion into the World capitalist systems.
British and American foreign policy based on American primacy has also played a major role in the destabilization of the Arab peninsula, as did Arab Nationalism during the last seventy years.
The US strategy of "regime change" found its first victim in Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh during the CIA coup of 1953 in Iran which restored to power the Shah Pahlavi, which is still a highly resented step which ultimately led to the 1979 Revolution and the return of Ayatollah Khomeini, which effects are still is felt today.
In all of this the Palestinian question still plays a major role which made for war and oppressive conservatism. Israel intransigence, the occupied territories, the war crimes continues to give the most extreme elements the advantage.
How Lebanon was destroyed was the result of the whole dynamics.
US support for Iran during the Iran/Iraq war was ill advised, as was the support for the House of Saud and Wahhabism in general, this fundamentalist and radical ultra conservative movement which was employed, financed and armed in the 1980's , during the Russian/Afghanistan 1979-1989 proxy war, like Osama bin Laden was.
Additional "regime-change" wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have all played a significant role in creating the present extremist environment of which Islam Society is as much victimized as Western Society is.
The conclusion can only be that unless we take away the reasons for Al Qaida, ISIS and other extremist group, new terrorist Groups will replace the old ones.

Aaron Blake (Washington Post/The Fix), among many others, sounds the alert on The red flags on Trump's new attorney general pick, William Barr. All you need to know: Barr is a social conservative who would rather persecute the Clintons than prosecute Trump for collusion and obstruction.
President Trump confirmed Friday that former attorney general William P. Barr will be his nominee to head the Justice Department. Picking George H.W. Bush's attorney general would seem a pretty safe and confirmable pick, on its surface.
But much like Whitaker's, Barr's past commentary has played down the severity of the allegations against Trump — on both the collusion and obstruction-of-justice fronts — and he also has suggested the Clintons should be in more trouble.
… Barr told the New York Times that there was more basis to investigate Hillary Clinton for the Uranium One deal than there is to investigate Trump for potential collusion with Russia. He went so far as to say the Justice Department was wrong to give Clinton a pass.
It seems quite the coincidence that Trump has settled on yet another attorney general who might be prepared to take his side on these very personal and political investigative issues in a way Sessions wouldn't. It's also notable that Barr seems to believe it isn't so necessary to erect a wall between the presidency and the nation's top law enforcement official — a wall that Trump has long desired to demolish.
With an even larger tilt toward the right after the midterm, it is hard to imagine that the GOPlins in the Senate will not confirm Barr. But it is also hard to imagine that it will not be a brutal fight for the reasons listed and more.

HARRY POTTER & THE CHAMBER OF SECRET-BEHIND THE SCENES
February 20, 2021 Sasindu Jayasri Featured, Harry Potter, Latest, Movies & Books 3
You already enjoyed the our first article Behind the scenes of Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone, didn't you? Here we present the second part, with the amazing response to the first part. I invite you to read till the end of the behind the scenes and share this with another Potterhead. So shall we go straight to the story?
Behind the Scene Harry Potter Facts in Chamber of Secret
Filming began three days after the release of the first film (19 November 2001). Th second film was released on 3 November 2002. This is the only film that released within a year, from all of the series. Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2 had released in six months, but both have been filmed in parallel.
Based on the shortest book in the series, this is the longest film in the series. (Also the longest book in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, made the shortest film out of it.)
Chris Columbus, executive producer and director, advises cinematographer Roger Pratt to give the film a slightly darker look. Therefore, low light conditions were used in the studios. The color frames were also slightly dimmed. These changes continue to darken throughout the series. You may have noticed this in the WB logo and name as well as in the movie
The duo are considered to be Chris Columbus' two financially best hits. And his first, Home Alone duo can be considered as a success.
Many Harry Potter fans went to see the Scooby-Doo (2002) movie released that year. Do you know why? Watch the trailer of the Harry Potter and Chamber of Secret.
The producers hadconsidered the Chamber of Secret (set) to be used only in this film. But in Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) the secret chamber needed again. Since the studio had been demolished, they had to rebuild the secret chamber again.
The producers have considered the Chamber of Secret to be the only one in the film. But in Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) the secret chamber needed again. Since the studio had been demolished, they had to rebuild the secret chamber.
Behind the Scenes of Chamber of Secret- Malfoys
Jason Isaacs as Lucius and Tom Felton as Draco
Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) can be introduced as a newcomer to the story. It is his own idea to grow his hair that way. He has to keep his head slightly back to prevent his hair from falling forward. This has made his character even more proud. Like he looks at everything else under his nose.
To get a sense of how dirty his character is, Jason had to revisit all of Tom Felton (drako)'s previous performances. Also the magic wand that can carry his magic wand is his own idea. He has been very fond of this magic wand. At one point he was caught trying to snatch it.
It is Jason Isaacs (Lucius) who gives Basilic the voice he speaks to his victims. Chris Columbus thinks he deserves such a job. So in his own (Chris' own words) he asks Jason to give the Basilica a voice with a creepy sound. The book only describes it as a blowing sound.
Jason Isaac originally requested the Lockhart character. But Cruise asks him to try for Malfoy. He dislikes it at first. He, however, is polite not to refuse the request. When he finally gets the character he thinks of throwing it away but his family members convince him to do it.
The film grossed $ 88 million in its first week in the United States!!!
Stuart Craig and executive producer Mark Radcliffe are the faces of some of the portraits of Hogwarts.
Arania Exumai
The curse Arania Exumai is used against spiders as they escape from the Acromantula colony. This curse is not mentioned in the book. According to the movie Harry learns this when he saw Tom Riddle uses it, in his diary, sixty years ago.
For the Flourish and Blotts they redecorate the studio used for Olivander's Wand shop in the first movie.
Chris wants to show the movements of the basilic like a journey of a serpent. Therefore, handheld cameras are used for this purpose. At one point, Chris took the cameraman by the shoulder (like a steering wheel) to shoot as he wanted.
If you compare the book and the movie you will feel a problem with the size of the Basilic snake. Turning to the end of the sixteenth chapter of the book, Ron and Lockhart have a sentence like this, when they see the skin in the secret chamber. "The creature that had shed it must have been twenty feet long at least" but Ron says at the relevant moment in the movie "whatever shed this must be sixty feet long, or more" This was done to increase the risk and thrill. In the first film, the serpent released from the zoo cage is about twenty feet long.
It is said that their full size images(statues) were used for the people who were stoned by the Basilic attack.
J.K.Rowling has produced a series of instructions for the cast on how to speak Parseltounge.
The camera used by Colin Creevy is the Argus C3 Matchmatic (35mm), cheap and very popular type of camera that was only manufactured in the United States from 1939 to 1966.
This is the second and final appearance of Katherine Nicholsan, not as famous as Pansy Parkinson.
Fifty years after, the last time secret chamber was opened, Voldemort and Hagrid both appear to have been present at the time of the shooting, indicating that Tom must have been 66 and Hagrid 63.
Harry and Ron get detention for the second time in this movie. (The first time they have to go to the Forbidden Forest) Harry receives two more detentions because of telling Prof. Umbridge say "lies" and for teaching Dumbledore's army (DA) in Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (2007). Ron gets detention for the third time and Hermione for the second time because he is part of Dumbledore's army.
Hugh Grant as Gilderoy Lockhart. Grant was cast as Lockhart, the narcissistic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, but he had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts, leaving the role open for Kenneth Branagh.
The Harry Potter series, as well as the 1985 Young Sherlock Holmes screenplay, were written by Chris Columbus. You can see a lot of similarities between them. Also, there is a suspicion that Kevin, the protagonist of Home Alone, which he directed, is in the photo above the table when a Dobby pudding explodes.
Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle) is the oldest actress to appear as a Hogwarts student. She was 37 years old when she played that character. And before that you can see her through a similar character. That was through another popular film, Bridjet Jone's Diary (2001). According to her, it contains more scenes of her crying about her boyfriend in a ladies restroom.
Zoe Wanamaker (Madame Hooch) feels in this film that the salary is not enough. So she has left. Her dialogue is given to Professor McGonagall Dame Maggie Smith and the other characters.
During the production, Emma always brought her pet Millie with her, but a few days after filming began, Millie passed away. So the staff prepares a special coffin for Miley. It was adorned with velvet and had a beautiful necklace called Millie on it. "I do not think anyone has ever said goodbye like this," says Emma.
An image of the phoenix is made before it is made into an animation. Let's take a very lively form of this. Seeing this, Richard Harris (Professor Dumbledore) thought it was a living bird.
Richard Harris sadly passes away a few weeks before the film's release.
This is the first film to sell one million DVDs in the U.K. in its first week.
Scenes from Sally Mortemore (Librarian Irma Pince) have been cut from the film. She can barely be seen in the background scenes and on the staff table.
Although Crab and Goyl had more film time in the film, there is no dialogue between the actors they appear in. The dialogues with Harry, Ron with Draco are narrated by Daniel Radcliffe and Rupet Grint.
The guard who meets Harry and Ron when they can't get to the nine-3/4 stage is the same guard in the previous movie.
Throughout the series, Emma, Daniel, and Rupert are able to prove that Chris Columbus' major choices are correct. Many other child actors have to change as they fail as they get older.
The forest outside Hogwarts in the book series called the "Forbidden Forest". But in the first and second films it is used as "Dark Forest". Correcting this, Voldemort uses the term "Forbidden Forrest" in his last film (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: part 2 [2011]).
Christian Coulson chooses to play Tom Riddle. Even though he is 23 years old, he is able to surpass other 15-17 year olds.
Thirty-five minutes in the second half of the film, Hermione is missing. (After the Basilic attack on her.)
Eddie Redmaybe, who plays the Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), has appeared in an interview for Tom Riddle character.
It is said that a nurse was called due to the spread of lice among the children during the filming.
During the filming, Dobby's part was played by a ball mounted on a stick. (Later digitally added Dobby.)
Doby's ears are based on the ears of a dog named Max, who used to sit under the art producer's desk.
According to J.K. Rowling, Moaning Myrtle is a member of the Ravenclaw House.
The young Hagrid is represented by Martin Bayfield. [He appears as Robbie Coltrane's body double throughout the series. His height is 6'10 "and he is a former England international rugby player] voiced by Robbie Coltrane.
Madam Pomfrey was previously in the film as a background character. It uses an extra actress. But from here until the end, Gemma Jones stands up for her character.
The tapestries on the walls of the Gryffindor Common Room are copies of a sixteenth – century series of "Lady and the unicorn" now on display at the Cluny Museum in France.
As I said in the previous article, Sorcerer's Stone, starred Cruise's daughter, Eleanor Columbus, as Susan Bones. But in this movie you can see all four of Chris' kids. Eleanor Columbus himself appears as Susan. Brendon Columbus as a boy in the study room, Violet Columbus as a little girl with some flowers and Isabella Columbus as a girl in the bookstore.
Jude Law is considered too young to appear as Lockhart, but he appears as the young Dumbledore in the 2018 release of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald.
A movie theater manager in Stanveger, Norway, has accused the film of having a very bad effect on his youngest employees. Children throw popcorn at the movie theater while watching Ron Hampello's vomit. Continuing.
Behind the Scenes of Chamber of Secret- Flying Ford Anglia
Weasley's car is a Ford Anglia. It's the same colour car that J.K. Rowling used to ride around with his school friends. She uses that car first for the book and then for the film.
Weasley's Ford registration number is 7990 TD. It's actually a real number on a Blue Ford registered in April 1960
They had to destroy fourteen Ford Anglias to make Harry and Ronnie crash into the Whomping Willow.
Written by J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Death Eaters is seriously considering bringing back the Ford Anglia to save Ron by pushing two Death Eaters against a wall. The car emerges from the jungle and hides Death Eater under a wall in the palace. Then she herself thought that it was a very childish idea that the car had lived in the forbidden forest for so long.
Remember Malfoy telling Harry when he went to see Beer Draco at the Poljus Potion? "I didn't know you could read". The sentence was coined by Tom Felton (Draco) because he forgot his dialogue.
Daniel's father reads Harry Potter books for Daniel. So he thinks his father would be better suited to dub Basilic. He suggested it to director Chris. Dad says he's very happy with it.
Rupet Grint really has arachnophobia. The scary look on Ron's face in that scene is not a play. He's afraid to even think about spiders.
From here I will mention some special events in the behind the scene Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets along with the time they are. You can also pay attention to these things while watching the film.
Eleventh minute
Remember the floating needle set that spun automatically in the Burrow house? To set this up realistically, one of the staff members forcibly brought her mother in and let her sew and had to film her for several hours.
Fifteenth minute
This time around, it's at Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley. You can barely see anything special here. The sixth part, Half-Blood Prince, has an opal necklace (containing a curse) left in a showroom to play a special part.
Seventeenth minute
Harry Potter hardcover books can be seen on bookshelves as Hagrid brings Harry out of the knockturn alley and Lockhart (Sir Kenneth Branagh) shows his profile to the photographer.
Twenty-first minute
You can barely see this. Lucius Malfoy picks up a book from Ginny's caldera. You will notice that he drops back two travel books insulting second hand books.
Thirty-third minute
A scene from Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater has been cut. (The part where Ginny promises to catch them kissing and not tell anyone) So the only part of the movie is the "Hello Percy.Ms.Clearwater" part where Nick sees the two of them coming out of the Great Hall as if they were headless.
Fifty-fifth minute
During the Quidditch match Harry and Draco chases after snitch. The music used in this episode is also used in Star Wars-Attack of the Vlones (2002). Both productions are by John Williams.
The hour is the nineteenth minute
Do you remember the scene of Crabbe and Goyle eating cupcakes? Jamie Waylett and Josh Herdman cut their mouths on the hooks on the fishing rods
One hour and twenty eight minutes
This time Harry is talking to Tom in his diary, not Daniel Radcliffe's handwriting. Chris thinks he's not going to write like Harry Daniel does. So he's using some other handwriting
Twenty-two minutes and two hours
In the final scene of the screenplay, Hermione should hug Harry and Ron. But 11-year-old Emma is too embarrassed to give a hug to two boys in front of the entire cast. So her savior Cris changes the script to make it easier for her. So all she has to do is hug Ron and shake Ron's hand when he tries to hug her too. You must have seen that scene in the film. In a recent interview, Emma reveals that she quickly turned around and left. So that spot in the movie was frozen for a few seconds. But fans see this stumble as a sign of future relationship between her and Ron.
Two hours and twenty-five minutes
This time Harry releases Dobby from Malfoy. Daniel Radcliffe wants to shave his leg when he finds out he doesn't have a leg sock.
This time Lucius tries to curse Harry. He mutters "Avada .." This is the beginning of the curse of death introduced in the fourth book. This seems like a great foolishness. In the middle of a school, full of children and teachers, why did you say this with no way to escape? As Jason Isaac describes in a number of interviews, the book and the script did not name him a special curse. So the killing curse in the fourth book he was reading in those days was the only curse he remembered. So he says it. That being said, Dobby will turn the panel around and save.
A few extra behind the scene facts from chamber of secrets
Slytherin's heir builds a fake wall asking him to write whatever he wants, as the messages on the wall will not allow the five – hundred – year – old Gloucester Cathedral to be damaged.
In an interview with Alan Cumming in 2008, he said that he got the role of Lockhart. But when asked about the amount paid to Rupet Grint, he rejects his character. That's because he gets less than the amount a 12 year old gets!!!
Amazing! Isn't it?Thank you for reading to the end. Hope you enjoy this facts of behind the scene Harry Potter and Chamber of Secret. See you soon in Our next station. Prisnor of Azkaban.

Six Nootropic Study Drugs
01/10/2019 0 by Smart D Uncategorized
We all need to get our work done and make sure that said work is superior to our competition's. Everyone wants to get a good grade or receive the approval of their bosses. But these are things that are hard to do when we're feeling sluggish or spent. Studying and/or researching can be a daunting task, one that requires brain power that we sorely lack. Sleep, memory, and attention are key components to acceptable studying and the average person has a problem with at least one or two of the three. Fortunately, there are a number of supplements out there that may soothe our nerves and replenish our mental faculties. These are but a few of the study drugs out there that can help in all of the above areas of concern.
1. MODAFINIL
A wakefulness-promoting agent, Modafinil is used to treat sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness. A CNS (Central Nervous System) stimulant, Modafinil has been shown to be of great utility to those afflicted with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and is, therefore, an excellent choice for those who need to buckle down and focus on their studies. There are a host of potential benefits to Modafinil use including depression and anxiety relief, and increased energy levels. By normalizing sleep patterns, Modafinil leaves the user feeling rejuvenated and ready to meet life's many demands.
Warning: While Modafinil has been approved by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) for use as a narcolepsy drug, this same committee rejected it for use as an ADHD medication. For this reason, our readers are advised to consult with their personal physician before taking Modafinil for this purpose. Likewise, pregnant and lactating women should not take Modafinil without discussing it with their pediatrician.
2. PHENYLPIRACETAM
Phenylpiracetam is another popular nootropic known to enhance cognitive functions such as alertness and memory. And for those of you who want to take a break from your studies to have a bit of fun at university, it doesn't hurt that Phenylpiracetam is also a natural stamina booster, meting out that extra mojo you need to pull an all-nighter with the co-eds.
Fifty to sixty times stronger than other racetams, Phenylpiracetam gets 'er done, giving the user renewed energy, improved mood, and enhanced alertness. Folks have also used Phenylpiracetam for physical performance and to increase learning ability. It has proven vital in memory consolidation and formation.
Warning: As a stimulant, Phenylpiracetam possesses the potential to cause adverse effects. When dosing with Phenylpiracetam, students and professionals should take care of their dosages as excess use could lead to headaches, irritability, nausea and other effects which would be counterproductive to your study routine.
3. ADRAFINIL
Adrafinil is another nootropic that has become a prevalent study drug in recent years, however, our readers are warned that this compound is no different than the above smart drug as Adrafinil is metabolized as Modafinil. Adrafinil works in exactly the same way as Modafinil—as a wakefulness-promoting agent for studying and depression. Ironically, Adrafinil withdrawal may lead to depression as we covered here.
4. VYVANSE
Vyvanse, or Lisdexamfetamine, is a stimulant that is used to treat both binge-eating disorder and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The drug's official website cautions that it is not intended for weight loss purposes, but, nevertheless, people have been using it to this end. It is a powerful substance which has been found to aid in anxiety relief as well as studying. One user on Shroomery's message boards wrote that he took it to study but, instead, ended up running, lending to Vyvanse's reputation as a performance enhancer. Users on Reddit have also been vocal about its study-related benefits.
5. FOCALIN
Yet another stimulant, Focalin or Focalin XR has begun to take on the rep that other more established drugs like Adderall have long held. It has been implemented as a drug for autism, anxiety, ADHD and studying. Composed of a compound called dexmethylphenidate, Focalin's benefits tend to last four to six hours, exerting powerful effects on those who take it. When compared to Adderall, it appears that users can take Focalin in lower doses to achieve the same benefits as the former.
Which, of course, brings us to…
6. ADDERALL
What can be said about Adderall that hasn't already been covered by countless medical journals and news outlets? This long-established ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) med has been used for off-label purposes for years. Often taken recreationally by irresponsible teenagers and curious seekers, Adderall exhibits stimulant effects that unlock attentiveness, sharper focus and much, much more. Alas, like Focalin, it can cause irregular heartbeat and other cardiovascular issues when taken in high doses. In fact, Adderall's side effects are so voluminous that one wonders why anyone has ever taken it at all when they could have sought out more viable options like the above-mentioned supplements.
Adderall's potential adverse effects include anxiety, nausea, vomiting, tremor, agitation, headache, fear, dry mouth, diarrhea, unpleasant taste in the mouth, dizziness, excitability, nervousness, constipation, restlessness and more. So consider the first five drugs on this list before resorting to Adderall use.

These guys are great. I ordered 120 capsules of Pramiracetam and instead of sending me 120, I was sent 130; not to mention, delivery was exceptionally fast! I just popped my first dose about twenty minutes ago, so I do not know how it will affect me, but I am sure that it will work great, given that this company has excellent reviews!
I recently heard about nootropics while traveling for my job, as well as simultaneously running a tech startup. Without a doubt these supplements work, I'm at a major advantage compared to my other colleagues that neglect smart drugs, even those more seasoned veteran's in my profession. Definitely a major leg up on the competition. Thanks smartdrugsforcollege.com, you guys are a life saver for even the most mentally challenging of tasks!
I ordered Piracetam and CDP Choline from here (my favorite nootropic stack), the product quality was amazing and I received my order in less than 3 days. The product quality is definitely purity tested, after taking my stack I could feel it was helping me form sentences better

Alex Hales added to England's T20 world cup 2022 Squad
Posted by: Twenty20Wiki Web Desk in ICC T20 World Cup 2022, News September 7, 2022 0 274 Views
pening batter Alex Hales on Thursday was called up to England's squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia as a replacement for in-form batter Jonny Bairstow. Hales, 33, has also been added to England's squad for the seven T20Is tour of Pakistan.
It also means that Hales's three-year exile from international cricket, after last representing England in March 2019, is over. He had a failed recreational drugs test and was removed from the 2019 ODI World Cup, which England won at home.
The then-captain Eoin Morgan often cited a "complete breakdown in trust" on Hales' exclusion from the England side.
With Morgan now retired from international cricket and Jos Buttler being the new skipper along with Jason Roy losing form rapidly and Bairstow sustaining a freak left ankle injury after slipping on a golf course last week, it has cleared the path for Hales's return to international cricket.
Hales, a prominent name in T20 franchise leagues in his time away from international cricket, was a vital cog in the wheel for Trent Rockets, winners of this year's men's Hundred, with 259 runs at a strike-rate of 152.35. He also formed a formidable opening partnership with his fellow England team-mate, left-handed batter Dawid Malan.
On the way, he became the first England player to cross 10,000-run mark in T20 format.
England men's managing director Rob Key had revealed on September 2 that Hales had called him up and was making a case for his recall into international cricket through the T20 World Cup selection in the original squad.
"From what we've spoken about, it's never been an issue really as far as we were concerned. We were able to just talk about form. And look, I spoke to Alex Hales. He rang me actually, and he argued why he wasn't there and I think quite right too.
"I much prefer when these people pick up the phone and say, 'come on then, why wasn't I there?' I've a huge amount of respect for that as opposed to people who go behind the scenes moaning about why they've not been picked for something. You look and it's just an unfortunate time where there's a hell of a lot of very good players."
"People say it's a good problem to have but it's not straightforward with who you pick as a batter in this format of white-ball cricket because there's so many good options. There's a lot of people who have also missed out who quite rightly could have said 'how come I'm not in?'."
Overall, Hales has played 60 T20Is for England since his debut in 2011, making 1,644 runs and averaging 31.01 at a strike rate of 136.65. In 2014, at the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, he became the first England player to score an international T20 hundred, a match-winning 116 not out off 64 balls against Sri Lanka in Chattogram.
England squad for Men's T20 World Cup Squad and three T20Is against Australia: Jos Buttler (Captain), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
Travelling Reserves: Liam Dawson, Richard Gleeson and Tymal Mills.
England squad for tour of Pakistan: Jos Buttler (Captain), Moeen Ali (Vice-Captain), Harry Brook, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Liam Dawson, Richard Gleeson, Alex Hales, Tom Helm, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Luke Wood and Mark Wood.

Handling unexpected "fires" during an event can often throw an entire event into freefall. What adds to the difficulty in resolving these issues is the complications of discovering those issues in a timely manner and communicating the problem to staff members for resolution. There is not a solution on the market at this time to efficiently discover and resolve issues during an event. The solution is Squad: a mobile application designed for event planners and their team to be able to discover issues and resolve them in a timely manner, using social media feeds and machine learning in the background to uncover crowd-generated issues.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Faces Charges of Child Sexual Abuse in New Lawsuit
Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has been accused of sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl and making her abort her baby in the 1970s, according to a new lawsuit.
Although the suit, filed by Julia Holcomb in Los Angeles, does not name Tyler, it does quote the singer's 2011 memoir, where he describes the relationship in detail.
Holcomb has told her story previously but had just days to sue under the state law that tolls the statute of limitations for certain sexual abuse crimes.
"With my bad self being twenty-six and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her," Tyler, who referred to the girl as "Diana," wrote.
"She was a cute skinny little tomboy dressed up as Little Bo Peep. She was my heart's desire, my partner in crimes of passion."

In the lawsuit, Holcomb claims she met Tyler at a Portland, Oregon, concert in 1973 when she was just 16 years old.
She described how she was invited to the star's hotel room after the show where the three-year drug-fueled affair began, bizarrely under the blessing of Holcomb's mother.
The claims are not outlandish as they line up with Tyler's admissions in the book that he "almost took a teen bride" whose "parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn't get arrested if I took her out of state."
Exclusive: In a lawsuit filed this week, Steven Tyler has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor and coercing her into getting an abortion.https://t.co/zH4v7ElRRn
— Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) December 30, 2022
Holcomb accuses Tyler of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
As NYDailyNews reports, Holcomb said Tyler pressured her into sex acts and "performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct." In her 2011 essay, she mentioned taking birth control until Tyler decided he wanted a child with her.
The woman also claims she became pregnant in 1975 but was pressured by Tyler to abort her baby after a fire in her apartment, with the star telling her the baby might have been injured in utero.
Holcomb later became a pro-life activist and a Catholic.
She also told her story on Tucker Carlson in 2020:
"I met Steven Tyler when I was just 16 years old, and he became my legal guardian," she said.
"He made the decision that he wanted me to have an abortion…and it didn't really matter how I begged to keep my baby, that decision really wasn't going to be in my hands."
Holcomb's lawsuit was filed under California's Child Victims Act. The law has a three-year window, ending on Dec. 31, for filing a civil suit involving alleged child sexual abuse.

Lecture by Charles Fishman
Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
Author of One Giant Leap, A Curious Mind (with Brian Grazer), The Wal-Mart Effect, and The Big Thirst
Water never really disappears—it just gets recycled and reused. However, water shortages can occur when and where water is used at a rate faster than it can be naturally cleaned. Manmade processes exist to clean water, but according to Fishman, cleaning it too much can make it dangerous to consume. That's why, according to the author, "the era of easy water is over."
In the last four years, Charles Fishman has become one of the most forceful, challenging, and inspiring public voices on water issues, speaking everywhere from MIT and UCLA to the Hershey Company and the U.S. State Department.
Fishman's book The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water has become the best-selling water book in a generation, and is changing how people think about water, and how they manage it. The Big Thirst does something few water books do: it restores a sense of wonder about water, along with a sense of urgency.
Fishman is a former reporter for the Washington Post and has won numerous awards for his work, including three Gerald Loeb Awards; presented by UCLA, it is the most prestigious award in business journalism. He is the author of two other New York Times bestsellers: The Wal-Mart Effect, about Wal-Mart's impact on how we live; and the #1 NYT bestseller A Curious Mind, about the power of curiosity, with Hollywood producer Brian Grazer.
Fishman grew up in Miami, Florida, and graduated from Harvard. After a stint in Mexico City, he now lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, also a journalist, their two children, and their two Labradors. A two-foot-wide creek runs through his backyard.

We offer classic, modern or historic decorative light poles and lamp posts that reflect any environment, culture, or history. If we don't have a design that reflects you, we'll create one.
High activity areas—merging expressways, airports, heavy-industry zones, shipping ports—require an extra emphasis on safety and security over a large space. That's why we created our high mast lighting towers.
As outdoor sports and sports television broadcasts become more widespread, the need for high quality sports venue lighting is vital.
Whether it's a family trying to find their vacation destination, a truck driver navigating to a loading dock, or a homeowner returning home from work, a well-lit street is essential.
We have a wide variety of light pole options, whether you're refreshing a downtown area, lighting new residential streets, or updating a major arterial highway.
Our commitment to both highway safety civil and infrastructure motivated us to create some the world's most trusted fire hydrants.
From safety barriers to redirect vehicles, to composite markers and accessories, to attenuation barriers, count on us for industry-leading safety solutions.
We design and create overhead catenary poles, signal structures, transition poles, lamp posts, light poles, wayfinding and other structures to modernize and grow your mass transit infrastructure.
Bolstered by engineering expertise, modern manufacturing, durable design, and (if desired) galvanizing, we work to make sign structures that remain long after the original sign is gone.
The right solution doesn't just reduce noise; it's also lightweight, simple to install, and is as resistant to vandals as it is the elements.
Whether it's a family trying to find their vacation spot, a truck driver navigating a loading dock, or a homeowner returning from work, a well-lit street is essential.
Whether traditional design or decorative, you need traffic control structures that deliver for you, and the motorists you serve, every day.
By supporting your power line, each distribution pole carries with it the trust that you'll provide power all day, every day.
Substations are the backbone of any power grid. And we create the infrastructure that is the backbone of the world's substations.
When it comes to getting power from generation facilities to the distribution grid there are many unknowns that are worth your time and attention. We don't think your transmission poles should be one them.
Anodizing transforms an aluminum surface, hardening and strengthening the outer layer against external stressors. And, it does so while providing options for color and design.
We offer CorroCote for those products that need protection against the corrosive effects of soil and underground moisture. It's environmentally friendly and extends the useful life of the ground-based structures they protect.
Hot dip galvanizing is a great rust and corrosion inhibitor. Powder coat/paint offer also offer outstanding protection. Put them together, and you get a level of combined protection that stands up to the most extreme elements.
E-Coat ensures that any small holes, deep recesses, or other areas inaccessible with conventional sprayers are evenly covered. It's so effective, it is often used as a primer prior to powder or liquid coating parts.
Hot-dip or Spin galvanizing is more than one of the most cost-effective ways to protect steel from corrosion, it's your way of saying that you're creating something that's meant to last.
We offer urethanes, enamels, epoxies, lacquers and water-based paints, as well as CARC and EMI/RFI shielding.
We work with manufacturers like you every day to powder coat their products, increasing their durability, aesthetics and value.
From oil wells to factory floors to rooftop catwalks, you need to know the grating is going to support your people while standing up to whatever punishment man, machine or nature has to dish out.
As finding and tapping into the world's oil and gas reserves gets more complex, having partners who understand the challenges you face becomes more vital.
From standard sizes and configurations to customized apertures, we create solutions that are built around your efficiency, longevity, and profitability.
We work with the world's wind energy leaders to supply wind turbine towers and direct-drive generator rotor houses.
We believe that today's growers can have it all, and we're always going to be re-inventing the control technologies that assure it.
We provide an ever-expanding storehouse of online guidance garnered from field and product testing, decades of experience in the agriculture industry and capturing real-life experiences from growers around the globe.
We have worked alongside growers to innovate real-world solutions for center pivot and linear irrigation that consistently drive up productivity and profitability for growers around the globe.

Valmont Enters Global Lattice Market with Acquisition of Derit Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a leading global provider of engineered products and services for infrastructure development and irrigation equipment and services for agriculture, today announced that it has acquired the operational assets of Derit Infrastructure Pvt.

Located in Vadodara, India, the state-of-the-art facility was built in 2013 and purchased by Derit late last year. Its 40,000 metric tons of lattice manufacturing capacity will provide Valmont with an immediate ability to begin quoting and building a backlog for utility lattice products, and global expansion for telecommunication lattice products. Their custom zinc galvanizing operations currently provide coatings services to local, external markets, with additional capacity to meet internal market demand.
"Today marks a significant step forward for Valmont with our initial entrance into the lattice structures market," said Stephen G. Kaniewski, President and CEO of Valmont. "The manufacturing capabilities of the Derit facility positions us to offer a competitive, lattice solution for the global utility market. We are now able to provide our customers a complete offering of utility structures for all voltage classes.

Tennis anyone? McCarren volunteers fix court that the city forgot
A rag-tag ring of racketeers has taken it upon itself to refurbish a decaying tennis court in McCarren Park after the city claimed it was too broke to fix it.
Members of McCarren Tennis, a year-old athletic club, took matters into their own racket-wielding hands after the Parks Department told them last year that it would not be able to refurbish the seven cracked courts — courts that weekend athletes pay $100 a year for the privilege of playing on.
After raising $4,500, seven members of McCarren Tennis smoothed out and painted one of the park's N. 12th Street courts — the first such renovation that the parks' decaying courts have received in nearly 30 years.
On the weekend of May 8–9, seven volunteers, led by founder Sean Hoess, put in 200 hours of labor scraping up the court's exiting surface by hand before laying down asphalt with hand-held squeegees. After it dried, the volunteers applied two coats of sand and latex paint, taped off the court, and finally painted the chalk lines by hand.
The tennis players aren't stopping there. The club will hold more fundraisers and more appeals to elected officials. When the money is there, Hoess wants to hire a professional crew to resurface the courts instead of his colleagues.
After the volunteers' hard work, the city installed a new net.
The conditions on the other six courts remain pretty ugly. Many courts have multiple cracks, which can cause balls to fly in unexpected directions, giving a new meaning to the phrase "double fault."
That's not the worst of it.
On each court, the top layer has been worn down after years of use. The uneven surfaces are pockmarked with the remaining layer of asphalt, which wears down tennis balls and can be hard on players' knees. Sand collects in the asphalt stone underneath, causing the surface to become slippery.
"I see a lot of people slide and fall. It is pretty dangerous," said Hoess.
Last October, McCarren Tennis threw its first fundraiser, a 64-field tennis tournament and dance party on the courts, which brought in $2,500. At the time, the group explored the possibility of expanding its tennis courts to a neighboring concrete softball field, but that idea was quickly quashed and the players remain focused on fixing existing courts.
For now, tennis players are enjoying the smooth ride of a game on court seven.
"I played on it yesterday and it was a lot better on my knees and joints. It felt like a real park instead of a war zone," said Hoess.
The Parks Department said that cost is the reason that the tennis courts are on the back-burner.
"A complete upgrade of the tennis courts would cost approximately $1 million and involve repairing the asphalt, upgrading the drainage, installing lights, and resizing the courts to meet USTA standards," said an agency spokesman. "We're very grateful that this organization worked with the Open Space Alliance to raise funds and hope that the one court that they were able to work on will encourage other funding sources to become available for additional work."
The spokesman claimed that the agency remains committed to major improvements throughout McCarren Park.
"Capital projects over the past few years include a new skate park, lighting at the track, the redesign of the soccer field, and $50 million allocated to restore McCarren Pool," he said.

Mark Zuckerberg Sent An Apology Letter About Myanmar. These NGOs Called It "Grossly Insufficient."
Facebook's CEO is expected to testify in front of US senators on Tuesday. At least one may ask about his company's role in spreading hate speech in a country that's been beset by ethnic conflict.

Rohingya refugees detained in Malaysian territorial waters off the island of Langkawi arrive at a jetty in Kuala Kedah, northern Malaysia, on April 3, 2018.
A group of six nongovernmental organizations in Myanmar said on Monday that Facebook's handling of hate speech in their country has been "grossly insufficient," after receiving a letter from CEO Mark Zuckerberg that attempted to apologize for not detecting and preventing the spread of abusive content faster.
The Myanmar NGOs sent BuzzFeed News Zuckerberg's letter a day before he is expected to testify in front of members of two US Senate committees about "privacy, safety, and democracy." The Facebook founder sent the letter in response to heavy criticism after he gave an interview earlier this month in which he credited his social network's systems for stopping messages inciting ethnic violence in Myanmar. In response, the NGOs said they, not Facebook, had been responsible for flagging many of the problematic social media posts and messages affecting their country and called the company's approach "far from systematic."
"Thank you for writing it and I apologize for not being sufficiently clear about the important role that your organizations play in helping us understand and respond to Myanmar-related issues," Zuckerberg wrote to the groups. "In making my remarks, my intention was to highlight how we're building artificial intelligence to help us better identify abusive, hateful or false content even before it is flagged by our community."
The groups, which include Equality Myanmar and the Center for Social Integrity, which is based in Yangon, Myanmar, did not mince words in their response.
"This is grossly insufficient and only reinforces our belief that Facebook is not doing anywhere near as much as they should and could do to prevent the spread of hatred in Myanmar," Victoire Rio, a social media analyst and spokesperson for the groups, told BuzzFeed News.
While Facebook bans the incitement of violence and hate speech based on a person's race or religion, its systems, which include automated programs and human moderators, do not always catch bad actors. In places like Myanmar, the company relies on users to report examples of hate speech, something that critics say is hard to do because of the volume and lack of clarity from Facebook.
Since last summer, more than 650,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh due to what the United Nations has termed "ethnic cleansing." The UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar said last month that social media sites, namely Facebook, played a "determining role" in spreading misinformation and hate speech that led to violence.
In examples shared with BuzzFeed News on Monday, Rio detailed inappropriate posts that were allowed to proliferate on Facebook despite being flagged by the NGOs. In one, from December 2017, users circulated a list of Rohingya Muslim community leaders or activists "to be assassinated." Rio said there are still at least 20 public duplicates of the post that are still live on Facebook today. On Monday, BuzzFeed News was able to search for and find posts calling for the assassination of activists that back to December 2017.
Last week in an interview with Vox's Ezra Klein, Zuckerberg said that Facebook was "paying a lot of attention" to anti-Rohingya propaganda and that "our systems detect that that's going on." That prompted a response from critics in Myanmar, leading to a subsequent apology from the company on Friday.
"We should have been faster and are working hard to improve our technology and tools to detect and prevent abusive, hateful or false content," a Facebook spokesperson told BuzzFeed News last week. "We are rolling out the ability to report content in Messenger, and have added more Burmese language reviewers to handle reports from across all our services."
Zuckerberg's letter to the groups followed that. "In addition to improving our technology and tools, we have added dozens more Burmese language reviewers to handle reports from users across all our services," he wrote. "We have also increased the number of people across the company on Myanmar-related issues and we now we [sic] have a special product team working to better understand the specific local challenges and build the right tools to help keep people there safe."
His critics are asking for other meaningful solutions. The six NGOs, whose members had previously reported issues to Facebook's staff using Skype or other messaging channels, said they want a "transparent emergency escalation system" after experiencing several delays with the previous methods of communication. "When things go wrong in Myanmar, the consequences can be really serious — potentially disastrous," the groups said in a response letter. "You have yourself publicly acknowledged the risk of the platform being abused towards real harm."
A Facebook spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
At least one US senator, John Kennedy of Louisiana, may ask Zuckerberg about the company's role in the Rohingya crisis when he testifies in a joint hearing with the Senate's Judiciary and Commerce committees on Tuesday.
Kennedy addressed the issue in an interview on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday. "I do want them to stop the fake news," he said. "I do want them to stop people from running advertisements on Facebook that encourages the genocide of the Rohingya Muslims in Burma. These are deep issues. They're going to go away, and we're not going to conclude this in one hearing."
BuzzFeed News is not aware of any advertisers that have encouraged genocide on Facebook, though it's possible that the senator was referring to the spread of viral organic content, not paid posts. A spokesperson for the senator did not return a request for clarification on the matter. Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the senator's statement.
Here Is Mark Zuckerberg's full letter to the groups:
Dear Htaike Htaike, Jes, Victoire, Phyu Phyu and Thant,
I wanted to personally respond to your open letter. Thank you for writing it and I apologize for not being sufficiently clear about the important role that your organizations play in helping us understand and respond to Myanmar-related issues, including the September incident you referred to.
In making my remarks, my intention was to highlight how we're building artificial intelligence to help us better identify abusive, hateful or false content even before it is flagged by our community.
These improvements in technology and tools are the kinds of solutions that your organizations have called on us to implement and we are committed to doing even more. For example, we are rolling out improvements to our reporting mechanism in Messenger to make it easier to find and simpler for people to report conversations.
In addition to improving our technology and tools, we have added dozens more Burmese language reviewers to handle reports from users across all our services. We have also increased the number of people across the company on Myanmar-related issues and we now we [sic] have a special product team working to better understand the specific local challenges and build the right tools to help keep people there safe.
There are several other improvements we have made or are making, and I have directed my teams to ensure we are doing all we can to get your feedback and keep you informed.
We are grateful for your support as we map out our ongoing work in Myanmar, and we are committed to working with you to find more ways to be responsive to these important issues.
