After finding themselves in an Ice Battle Zone, they dicover that the cold enables the Sark's computerized brains to work faster than ever! As a result, Agura and Stanford must put aside their rivalry to battle the hyper-accelerated Sark, a Sark Tangler, and a Yeti! I don't own anything, other than the Youtube account.

20 minutes long orientation video made by the Hunnia Filmstudio for the Hungarian Air Force in 1981. During the Cold War period Hungary had numerous missile batteries and a large number of radar installations, mostly tasked with defending the Danube line against NATO air strikes. The HUNAF was an integral part of the army and was essentially a defensive force back then.

The Force is a binding, metaphysical, and ubiquitous power in the fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. Introduced in the first Star Wars film (1977), it is wielded primarily by the Jedi and Sith monastic orders and is a part of all subsequent Star Wars works, including the Star Wars Legends collection of comic books, novels, and video games. The line "May the Force be with you", spoken in each of the Star Wars films, has become part of the pop culture vernacular and is iconic of the series.
Depiction
In the original Star Wars film (1977), later dubbed A New Hope, the Force is first described by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi:
Throughout the series, characters exhibit various paranormal powers that rely on the Force, such as telekinesis and empathy. The Force has a negative and destructive aspect called the "dark side", which feeds off emotions such as fear, anger, greed, pride, jealousy and hate. Jedi Master Yoda explains to his pupil Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back (1980):

"Robot Chicken: Star Wars" (also known as "Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode I") is a 2007 episode of the television comedy series Robot Chicken, airing as a one-off special during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on June 17, 2007. It was released on DVD on July 22, 2008.
The 22-minute episode's sketches all relate to Star Wars.
Opening sequence – Based on the end sequences of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the Mad Scientist (as Palpatine) saves Robot Chicken (RC) (as Anakin Skywalker) from the volcanic planet Mustafar and rebuilds him as Darth Vader before forcing it to watch Robot Chicken.
An AT-AT pilot sits on the toilet during the battle at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, as Luke Skywalker throws a grenade into the bathroom.
Palpatine gets a collect call from Vader who tells him that the Rebel Alliance blew up the Death Star, leaving Palpatine in financial turmoil. This skit is recycled from the episode "1987," although the voice of Darth Vader heard on Palpatine's phone has been redone from the original.

Star Wars Comic is a British comic published monthly by Titan Magazines. It previously featured comic strips reprinted from Star Wars graphic novels, but now contains all-original content.
A new volume of Star Wars Comic usually began around the time of a new movie release, but since the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated show aired on television it begins a new volume when a new series of the TV show is produced. So, in 2008, it began its fifth volume – now under the name of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Comic. Volume five ran for thirteen issues. It is currently on volume six. The comic was retitled to simply 'Star Wars Comic' once again in 2014.
The current editor is Jon Chapple. Previous editors include Steve White, Andrew James and Mark McKenzie-Ray.
Below is a list of stories featured recently in Star Wars Comic:
Issue 5.13: Orbital Onslaught.
Issue 6.1: Inside Job.
Issue 6.2: Keep The Faith.
Issue 6.3: In Triplicate.
Issue 6.4: The Droid Deception.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (also known as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) is a 2015 American epic space opera film directed, co-produced, and co-written by J. J. Abrams. The seventh installment in the main Star Wars film series, it stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Max von Sydow. Produced by Lucasfilm and Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, The Force Awakens is set about 30 years after Return of the Jedi; it follows Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron's search for Luke Skywalker and their fight alongside the Resistance, led by veterans of the Rebel Alliance, against Kylo Ren and the First Order, successor to the Galactic Empire.
The Force Awakens is the first film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy announced after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012. The film is produced by Abrams, his long-time collaborator Bryan Burk, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan, co-writer of the original trilogy films The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), rewrote an initial script by Michael Arndt. John Williams, composer for the previous six films, returned to compose its score. Star Wars creator George Lucas served as creative consultant during the film's early production stages. Filming began in April 2014 in Abu Dhabi and Iceland, with principal photography also taking place in Ireland and Pinewood Studios in England, and concluded in November 2014. It is the first live-action film in the franchise since Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the film score to the 2015 film of the same name composed by John Williams with Williams and William Ross conducting, and Gustavo Dudamel appearing as a "special guest conductor". The album was released by Walt Disney Records on December 18, 2015 in both digipak CD and digital formats.
In July 2013, Williams was confirmed to be writing the score. The music from the first two trailers for the film was reworked from earlier compositions. Williams began working on the score in December 2014 and by June 2015, he had been through most of the film reels, working on a daily basis. In May 2015, Williams said he would reuse themes from the previous films, such as those for Luke, Leia and Han, in ways that "will seem very natural and right in the moments for which we've chosen to do these kinds of quotes. There aren't many of them, but there are a few that I think are important and will seem very much a part of the fabric of the piece in a positive and constructive way." He said that working with J. J. Abrams was similar to the process he went through with George Lucas in the earlier films.

A plethora of online trading accounts is available to UK traders or investors, but obviously various fees and charges accompany these accounts. In this article we aim to give an overview of these costs.
Hardly any UK online trading account brokers charge a fee to set up an account, but some do have minimum account deposit levels. Furthermore, fixed monthly fees may apply and could come into effect when the account is opened (see below for more details).
Account or management charges are generally levied only on the holdings of Funds (Unit Trusts and Open-Ended Investment Companies (OEICs)). These are usually percentage fees of the total amount held in the instruments, generally with a sliding scale of lower charges as the size of funds held increases. Furthermore, most online providers have a maximum cap on fees charged. Some brokers do offer fixed fees, charged either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
Online trading charges are usually per trade, regardless of the size of the transaction. However, there are different charging structures across the various brokers. Two common types of charge structures are: a sliding scale of cheaper charges, depending on the number of trades placed (usually within a calendar month), and a fixed-rate structure, whereby a set fee is charged monthly/annually and covers all trading activity. When choosing a broker, traders/investors should consider the different types of price structure in relation to their intended trading frequency.
£10.00/month, covering four online trades/year.
£9.99/trade above the four allowed per year.
If trades are not placed directly via the online trading portal, many online brokers charge a higher fee for trading either via telephone with a customer service representative or via the post. Trading charges are often scaled higher with larger purchases of shares or funds.
Many brokers offer account holders the opportunity to trade non-UK shares, without having to open a separate foreign currency trading account. This usually means deals are struck in the overseas currency, and then converted back into pounds at exchange rates offered by the broker (see Foreign Exchange (FX) charges/rates below). This fee would usually be on top of the standard dealing charge.
There may also be charges by overseas governments for trading their stocks.
If trading in overseas shares, most online accounts will incur a charge for transferring funds into the other currency and back again. These foreign exchange fees are usually charged at a percentage margin rate of the interbank exchange rate at the time the trade is executed.
Charles Stanley Direct: All trades placed online which are denominated in a foreign currency are subject to foreign exchange rates. This will normally be the previous day's closing spot rate, less 1% (but the right is reserved to amend it intra-day).
Stamp Duty or Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) is payable on UK equity purchases at the following rates; 0.5% of deal value (on securities settled through CREST); for non-CREST settlements, stamp duty is charged only on purchases over £1,000 in value.
There may also be levies charged by overseas governments for trading overseas stocks.
Example Barclays Stockbrokers: Stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT) on all UK share purchases is payable at the prevailing rate at the time of dealing.
0.5% SDRT on all UK share purchases settled through CREST, rounded up to the nearest 1p.
0.5% stamp duty on all UK share purchases not settled through CREST, rounded up to the nearest £5.
Stamp duty on Irish-registered stock is currently charged at 1%.
The Panel of Takeovers and Mergers currently levies £1 on all UK share transactions of £10,000 and over.
Some providers charge a fixed inactivity fee if the account is not used within a stipulated number of months.
IG: Inactivity fee – £12 per month, charged if there is no activity across any IG account for 24 consecutive months (dividend payments count as activity).
Most brokers do not charge for simply withdrawing cash, but do check.
Unlike cash withdrawals, many online trading accounts do charge for a transfer to a third-party trading account. This is usually a fixed amount or a percentage fee.
Furthermore, stock or share transfers to another online account provider often incur a fixed or percentage fee.
Transfers in from a third-party provider are rarely charged for.
Share/stock or fund transfers in from another online broker rarely incur a fee.
If there are not enough funds held in cash in an account, it may be necessary to either liquidate units in the funds or sell shares to meet payment of fees. Some online brokers will add an extra charge for these transactions.
A fixed fee is sometimes charged for the dispatch of paper statements or valuations.
Often a fixed administration fee is charged when an account is closed.
The aforementioned account charges will usually apply for trading accounts held in the form of an ISA. However, some online brokers may charge additional fees for transferring ISAs to another broker.
Together with the online broker's fees, charges are also levied for holding funds with a fund manager. The fund manager's fee is levied annually, and is typically stated as a percent of the investment value. In most cases, the ongoing charge is calculated and deducted daily from the fund. Usually, therefore, it is not necessary to pay the fund management fees separately.
The OCF or TER is the ongoing costs associated with the fund. It includes the fund manager's annual charge and other expenses such as depositary, registrar, accountancy, auditor and legal fees, but not the fund's transaction costs, e.g. dealing commissions.
Some brokers may be able to offer funds by certain fund managers at a lower fund management fee than their competitors.
Furthermore, some funds will have a buy/sell spread and may charge a dilution fee. Investors should consult the factsheet that is usually available for any given fund or fund manager.
Finally, the fund manager may also charge a performance fee.


LAHORE: Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Vice President Zeeshan Khalil has said that the initiative of the tax amnesty scheme is good as the black money will be brought back, enabling the country to build its reserves and leave dependence on the foreign direct investment and loans from donor agencies. However, he said the timing of the scheme is questionable.
Kashif Anwer, sales tax affairs chairman of the standing committee of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Lahore Region, said that it is good that the government announced the amnesty scheme as this measure would bring back black money into the country which will build up forex reserves and the economy would get strong.
He, however, said that the last date for the scheme was June 30 which would not produce the required results. Pakistan Auto mobile Spare Parts Importers and Dealers Association central chairman Nasir Hameed Khan said that this was a right step at the right time which would drive huge sum of money in the country and the oversea Pakistanis should tap the opportunity.
He, however, said that the Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi should also have announced some policies to contain the sliding rupee value.

Researchers pinpoint tumor-related protein, slow progression of cancers
Posted April 17, 2019 by Tiffany Lee | View original publication
Locking a biochemical gate that admits fuel into immune-suppressing cells could slow tumor progression and assist the treatment of multiple cancers, says new research from the Wistar Institute, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and others.
Published April 17 in the journal Nature, the study found elevated levels of fatty acid transporter protein 2, or FATP2, in a type of cell known to muffle immune responses and impede cancer therapies. After isolating tumorous cells from humans and mice, the researchers also discovered substantially higher numbers of an energy-granting lipid that FATP2 helps produce and traffic into cells.
Collectively, the study's findings implicate FATP2 in maliciously rewiring the body's most common white blood cells, which otherwise act as first responders in fighting infections.
When the researchers knocked out a gene linked to FATP2, they found that the tumors of several cancers — lymphoma, lung carcinoma, colon carcinoma and pancreatic cancer — grew markedly slower in mice. Administering the FATP2-inhibiting compound Lipofermata — identified by Nebraska's Concetta DiRusso in the mid-2000s — likewise helped slow and even reject tumors when paired with a drug that disrupts cellular replication.
The study suggests that targeting FATP2 in the immune-suppressing cells could block the resulting buildup of lipids and mitigate tumor progression without significant side effects, the team said.
"I think the unique thing, and why this will cause some excitement, is that this is not specific to one cancer," said DiRusso, a study co-author and George Holmes University Professor of biochemistry. "Being able to target some of the cells that are common to different cancers is something that's highly desired.
"It doesn't wipe (tumors) out totally, but it's a piece of the picture. We're now more interested in combination therapy. It's not one target but (instead) targeting in multiple ways, because cancer is smart. Cancer finds a way around our best drugs, which is why these combinations of drugs are so powerful and, we expect, more effective."
'It really was a collaboration'
The Wistar Institute's Dmitry Gabrilovich and colleagues first noticed an uptick of FATP2 in solid tumors several years ago. Their observation prompted Gabrilovich to contact Nebraska biochemist Paul Black, who has studied the fundamentals of how fat molecules cross cellular membranes.
The Black Lab's early research in yeast identified a gene segment and associated protein that activate and carry fatty acids into cells, where they get metabolized for energy or embedded into membranes. That protein? FATP2.
"If you've got a gate sitting on the membrane that controls the amount of fat that gets in, and then you start screwing around with that gate, it's going to impact things downstream," said Black, Charles Bessey Professor and chair of biochemistry. "And if a cancer cell needs to be fed lipid so it can undergo metastasis and really become a nasty disease, it has to up-regulate that protein. So this gate is playing a very pivotal role in all of these metabolic systems."
Black's prior research also helped determine that there were two genetic variants of FATP2: one to prime fatty acids for metabolism, another to actually transport them across cellular membranes. That important distinction informed the efforts of DiRusso's lab, which screened more than 100,000 anti-FATP2 compound candidates to suss out which might help combat obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
The blue-ribbon candidate, Lipofermata, essentially eliminates fat accumulation in tissue cultures and reduces the absorption of lipids in mice by more than 60 percent — leading DiRusso to patent the drug's use in treating metabolic diseases. So when Black was contacted by Gabrilovich, he quickly touched base with DiRusso. The duo ultimately supplied Gabrilovich with the biochemical insights, samples and Lipofermata needed to carry out his team's experiments.
"Whether it be cancer biology or diabetes or whatever you're going after in this biomedical world, you can't do it by yourself anymore," Black said. "Long gone are the days where we can just sit up and be a little silo somewhere, just doing our own things. Some of our early mechanistic work was done that way, but the work (now) is far too complicated. It's just a ton of information.
"We don't know the full story yet, but the data that's coming out is going to really drive this stuff forward very, very quickly."
The Wistar Institute and Nebraska researchers authored the Nature study with colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh, Duke University School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Moscow State Medical University.
The team received support from the National Institutes of Health under grants CA R01CA165065 and AI110485.

Male Fish Found to Have Female Parts
Aug. 21, 2015 10:35AM EST
Male black bass and some sunfish in North Carolina rivers and streams are developing eggs in their testes, which can cause reproductive problems and potentially threaten populations, according to unpublished research.

The research adds to growing evidence that exposure to estrogen compounds is feminizing male fish across the U.S. and suggests that North Carolina fish might be particularly at risk.
"It's a very interesting study and certainly adds to our understanding of what's potentially going on in our rivers and with the intersex fish," said Vicki Blazer, a U.S. Geological Survey fish biologist who was not involved in the study.
North Carolina State University researchers tested 20 streams and rivers throughout North Carolina during the 2012 spawning season for contaminants known to disrupt endocrine systems, such as industrial chemicals and pesticides. They also tested black bass—largemouth and smallmouth bass—and sunfish in the rivers for "intersex" characteristics, looking for eggs in the testes of males.
More than 60 percent of the 81 black bass tested were intersex, while 10 percent of the 185 sunfish were intersex. They detected 43 percent of the 135 contaminants they were looking for throughout the state. Crystal Lee Pow, a Ph.D. student at North Carolina State University who helped lead the work, said they are still analyzing differences between waterways so aren't yet disclosing the impacted rivers.
The results are worrisome. In past studies, male fish with eggs have had reduced fertility and sperm production. In addition, male fish are critical for the survival of developing black bass and sunfish.
"Males guard the nest, create spawning nests for young and guard fertilized eggs," Lee Pow said. " Males are crucial for hatching success and their male behavior could be altered by exposure to contaminants and the presence of the intersex condition."
The research was in part spurred by a U.S. Geological Survey study in 2009 that showed intersex male fish in nine U.S. river basins and found that the Pee Dee River basin—which spans North Carolina and South Carolina—had the highest rate of intersex fish (80 percent).
The suspected culprits of the sex changes are endocrine disrupting compounds. This includes hormones, industrial chemicals and pesticides that are or mimic estrogen hormones. These compounds enter rivers and streams via permitted effluents, stormwater and agricultural runoff and wastewater treatment plants, where excreted birth control and natural estrogens pass through relatively un-altered.
"There are also a lot of concentrated animal feeding operations in North Carolina," Lee Pow said, adding that previous research at North Carolina State found that waste from pigs, which is held in lagoons, can run off into streams after it is applied to land. "The [pig] waste is chock-full of estrogens," she said.
It's unclear why the black bass had such a higher intersex rate, but it's an important finding that shows not all species are impacted the same, said Dana Kolpin, a U.S. Geological Survey research hydrologist.

"We've compared bass to white suckers, brown bullhead and we rarely see intersex in the suckers and bullhead, even at the same sites where we see bass that are intersex," Blazer said.
Researchers don't know why the bass are more susceptible, however, it is probably either the timing and location of where they spawn, or something about their physiology that is more sensitive, Blazer said.
Donald Tillitt, a U.S. Geological Survey toxicologist, said he and colleagues dosed adult largemouth bass with a synthetic estrogen found in birth control pills with levels commonly found in the environment and were able to induce intersex fish.
"The dominant idea has been that intersex is instigated in early life exposures as the gonads are developing," Tillitt said about the unpublished research. "But this suggests they're still susceptible as adults."
The presence of intersex black bass in North Carolina was linked to chemicals that are hydrophobic, meaning those that prefer separating from water such as the common contaminant polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
But Blazer cautioned that it is "important for people to understand that what could be inducing intersex at one site might be different than at another site."
The concern with an impacted reproductive system is the overall fish population and ability to properly reproduce. Blazer said bass are a long-living fish and produce a lot of sperm, so it would take a few years for population impacts to take place.
Susan Massengale, a spokesperson for the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, said in an emailed response that the new study was "useful for understanding what may potentially affect aquatic life," adding that it would be interesting to know the rivers tested and whether the tested fish had reduced ability to reproduce.
She said "this is one part of a picture that will emerge over time" as research fills in the blanks on the levels of these compounds that impact the fish and how to stop or treat the compounds before they affect species.
Kolpin said, with a growing body of evidence of endocrine disrupting compounds in U.S. waterways impacting fish, there may soon be action in trying to curb the problem.
"The next five years we should gain even more knowledge and eventually I think there will be something done to prevent contaminants getting into these waterways in the first place," he said. "It's better to prevent them than trying to treat water after the fact."

So, you have The Next Best Thing? Maybe it's the Warby Parker of T-shirts, or a social network combining Untapped with Meerkat for the perfect college experience, or an algorithm for middle-out compression. Your team is all in, and it's time to get funding. That means it's time to prepare a pitch.
Pitches typically are categorized into time segments, each designed to gain entry into a subsequent, more in-depth meeting. The process can get overwhelming fast, but keeping it simple is most often the best option.
"In reality, there are two main questions that have to be answered in a pitch: What is the evidence that your team can execute on a business? And what is the evidence that the market cares that your team succeeds in its execution?" said John Sechrest, founder and project director of the Seattle Angel Conference. Sechrest also is co-manager of Impact Hub Bellevue and spends much of his time advising new companies at various stages of progression.
Having a well-prepared deck — a summary of answers to investors' potential questions — is critical to combating the stomach churn that accompanies a high-stakes meeting.
"Since investing is an emotional- and relationship-based activity, there is much more to the pitch than the content. However, if the content is messed up and incomplete, it often leads to people not wanting to engage more," Sechrest said.
Keep in mind investors are analyzing the team as much as they are analyzing the product. Gregg Bennett, founder of the Bellevue investing firm Bennett Enterprises LLC, uses pitch meetings to determine whether the team has the ability to scale.
Bookending a meeting effectively is crucial. According to Sechrest, the presenter should grab the investor's attention within the first 7 seconds and hold it throughout the meeting. At the end, make the ask.
"It is a sales process. Get people's attention, hold it, and cause them to take an action," Sechrest said. He added that entrepreneurs don't have to ask for money; instead, they can request another meeting or social media mentions.
Here are four ways to make sure investors take notice and don't immediately discard the pitch and product.
Be sure you are pitching to the right people. Some investors are looking for specific fields in which to invest. Be sure the pitch is reaching the right audience, and then convince the investor that this company is the right fit.
Be able to answer questions. The ability to flow with questions and conversation is important. Bennett said that if the pitch is presented to a panel of investors, it's important to get through the whole pitch, which sometimes means not taking questions until the end. If the meeting is one-on-one with an investor, the entrepreneur must be able to take questions as they come. "You can't answer in a canned way. You have to give more depth than what is in the pitch deck," Bennett said.
"I would guess that 20 to 30 percent of the pitches I hear, I hear the pitch and I still don't know what they do," Bennett said. "(Entrepreneurs) create a pitch that's intended for people who totally understand their business, so they make the mistake of thinking that investors totally understand their business, and (investors) don't." It's important for the pitch to communicate the business and product to people without intimate knowledge of the business, so be sure to include basic information about the company and its purpose in the presentation. That will generate excitement and interest before you detail the server you built, integration with 11 different APIs, and the algorithm for middle-out compression.
The same principles that apply to startups building a product apply to pitching a startup to investors: develop, test, iterate, and test again. If one element of the pitch didn't resonate with a target investor, change the pitch. And at the end of it all, practice makes perfect.

Air Strikes in Syria Perturb Host of Astana Peace Process
By Santo D. Banerjee
NEW YORK (IDN) – Kazakhstan, host to eight rounds of Syria peace talks in its capital city of Astana until December 2017, has warned against further military escalation in the wake of air strikes conducted by the United States, France and UK, adding that "whatever action taken under whatever good pretext can't and will not justify the military use of force."
Kazakhstan is the first Central Asian country to be elected to the Security Council as non-permanent member for a two-year period (2017-2018). It was also the first Central Asian state to chair the Council in January 2018.
Addressing the Security Council on April 14, Ambassador Kairat Umarov, Permanent Representatives of Kazakhstan to the UN in New York, said: "We call on all parties to prevent further military escalation and take effective steps aimed at restoring confidence, establishing peace and ensuring security in the long suffering land of Syria on the basis of the UN Charter and the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council."
"Every time when we observe the increasing tensions in this chamber," Kazinform quoted him saying, "we call to act responsibly in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. Who else if not the Council Members should show to the world an example of compliance with the principles and provisions of the Charter?"
Earlier in the day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres also stressed the importance of abiding by the UN Charter. He said: "As Secretary-General of the United Nations, it is my duty to remind Member States that there is an obligation, particularly when dealing with matters of peace and security, to act consistently with the Charter of the United Nations and with international law in general."
The UN Charter is very clear on these issues, he told the Security Council. Emphasizing that the 15-nation Council [in which five permanent members can veto a decision and stall any action] has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. He called on the members of the Council to unite and exercise that responsibility.
Urging all Member States to show restraint "in these dangerous circumstances and to avoid any acts that could escalate matters and worsen the suffering of the Syrian people," Guterres stressed the need to "avoid the situation from spiralling out of control."
Any use of chemical weapons is abhorrent. The suffering it causes is horrendous, he added, referring to the alleged resort to banned chemical weapons by the Syrian government.
Kazakh Permanent Representative Umarov said: "Whatever action taken under whatever good pretext can't and will not justify the military use of force. Violence against violence will never bring peace and stability." Kazakhstan's position, he added, has always been and continues to be that military action is the last resort to be applied only in cases approved by the UN Security Council.
"The time has come for Syrian talks encouraging the United States and the Russian Federation given their standing as the co-chairs of the International Syria Support Group and their respective influence on the parties to move actively in the direction of finding a middle ground and political settlement of the conflict in Syria."
The UN has a vital role in convening those negotiations and helping the parties resolve their disputes, Umarov added in a bid to remind the two superpowers of their responsibility for peace and security in the region.
"Humanity hopes that the 21st century would herald a new era of global cooperation. This, however, may turn out to be a mirage. Our world is once again in danger and the risks cannot be underestimated. The threat is a deadly war on a global scale. Our planet is now on the verge of the new Cold War which could have devastating consequences for all humankind," Umarov said quoting from the Manifesto of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, entitled The World. The 21st century, presented on March 31, 2016.
"And just yesterday Secretary-General Mr. Antonio Guterres confirmed to us, to our regret, that the Cold War is back with a vengeance," Umarov noted.
President Nazarbayev in his Manifesto stressed that the main tool for resolving all disputes between the States should be only peaceful dialogue and constructive negotiations on the basis of equal responsibility for peace and security, mutual respect and non-interference into domestic affairs, explained Umarov.
"Avoiding any escalation and ending any sort of wars are the most challenging task which has no reasonable alternative. This task has to be treated by the world leaders as their highest priority on the global agenda. We also have to respect the sovereignty of states that are Member States of the UN. We urgently need a political solution."
Kazakhstan, said Umarov, urges the international community to exert political will to overcome differences and reunite in negotiations believing that only the UN-led political transition in accordance with the Council Resolution 2254 could lead the way out of the Syria conflict which in turn could only advance if the Council is united.
He further stressed that in order to see positive outcomes there is a strong need to continue supporting the aims of the Astana talks and further Geneva negotiations.
The Kazakh Permanent Representative implored all parties at the international, regional and Syrian level to "support an immediate ceasefire and seriously and objectively move forward without any preconditions within the framework of the International Syrian Support Group under the auspices of UN in Geneva."
Umarov urged all relevant parties to persist in diplomatic efforts, seek political solutions, stick to dialogue and support the UN as the main mediation channel. Kazakhstan, he declared, is "ready to work with all colleagues to preserve peace and security on the basis of mutual understanding, good will and determination to make the world a safer place."

Long time ago in 1904, Mary Victoria Leiter Curzon, wife of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of British India, visited Kaziranga after hearing about the great one-horned Rhinoceros of this region. But, she failed to see even a single one on her visit to this region. She felt an urgent need to save the rhinoceroses and asked her husband to take immediate steps to prevent their extinction. This led to creation of Kaziranga National Park in 1905, though it was a proposed reserve forest at that time. Today, it is a World Heritage Site and is visited by plenty of tourists for exploring different species of wild animals in the reserve. This region can be visited during certain months in a year that are favorable for tourism.
There are several hotels and resorts around Kaziranga which offer cost-effective and comfortable accommodations for tourists. For environmentally conscious individuals, there are Eco friendly cottages available, with all the modern facilities. They have well-maintained rooms that are furnished with eco-friendly materials. Most of the hotels and resorts in this region are accessible to all domestic and international tourists arriving by air, rail or road. Some of them also provide pick-up and drop facilities for their guests giving them an added convenience. Visits to the national park can be made very easy with an accommodation in them as they also offer guided tours. Corporate events can also be conducted in such hotels or resorts as most of them have conference facilities that are backed with excellent communication systems.

No end in sight in Polish-EU stand-off over democratic backsliding?
Poland once again made international headlines in July amid the latest attempt by the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party to expand political influence over the judiciary, through changing the procedures for appointments to the Supreme Court, the National Judicial Council and lower courts. Following more than a week of mass public protests against the three bills, the European Commission (EC) on 29 July launched an infringement procedure against Poland for violating EU laws. Despite President Andrzej Duda's unexpected veto of two of the controversial bills, his ready approval of the third – which gives the justice minister expanded powers to appoint and dismiss lower court judges – triggered the formal legal complaint.
The government claims that the changes are needed to rid the judiciary of old, corrupt elites and improve efficiency, but critics are concerned by the expansion of executive powers over key judicial institutions. As both sides cement their positions, the situation is a timely reminder that PiS's controversial domestic agenda will continue to pose a threat not only to stability at home, but also to broader EU unity.
Another stand-off likely
The infringement proceeding is likely to mark the start of another prolonged conflict between the EU and the PiS government. It comes in the wake of existing disputes over changes to the constitutional court, restrictions on the public media and Poland's refusal to participate in the EU's refugee relocation scheme. However, using a legal procedure to achieve a political goal – in this case, compelling the PiS to stop curtailing independent institutions – is likely to prove a double-edged sword against an opponent striving to score political points against the EU at every turn.
The infringement proceeding is likely to mark the start of another prolonged conflict between the EU and the PiS government.The alleged legal violation concerns discrimination on the basis of gender – specifically, the different retirement age of men and women. The EC has also called for an investigation of a possible violation of the right to fair trial, citing the arbitrary powers of the justice minister. Although a legal challenge gives the EC access to more concrete counter-measures, including fines, this competence is confined to specific legal violations, limiting its effectiveness with regard to the broader issue of rule of law and democratic backsliding.
The EC has affirmed its readiness to invoke the so-called 'nuclear option' – Article 7(1) of the Treaty, which could lead to sanctions and suspension of certain EU rights – if the proposed changes to the Supreme Court and National Judicial Council are implemented. Duda's vetoes will postpone this outcome for at least a few months, and are likely to have brought a sigh of relief in Brussels. Both the EC and the Polish government know that the Article 7 procedure is not a viable option: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stands firmly beside Poland, preventing the unanimity among member states that would be needed to trigger sanctions. The decision to resort to infringement procedures for violation of EU laws demonstrates that the EC knows its limitations and is looking for alternative means to induce compliance, after the rule of law procedure launched against Poland in 2016 proved wholly ineffective.
Deepening domestic rift
Domestically, the situation is likely to lead to a deepening rift between Duda and the government. Duda's decision to block two of the bills reflects domestic political considerations more than anything else. Meanwhile, the veto of the bills affecting the Supreme Court and the National Judicial Council sends a clear signal to the rest of the PiS that the president is done sitting on the sidelines. Despite his approval of the third PiS bill, Duda's more assertive stance does not sit well with PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is unlikely to let such blatant disloyalty go unpunished. The extent to which Duda will leverage his presidential powers- and how the party will respond- remains to be seen. However, a prolonged conflict between the executive branches would pose the greatest challenge so far to the dominance and stability of the PiS government.
Meanwhile, the vetoes will postpone the issue long enough for PiS to develop a new game plan, both domestically and vis-à-vis the EU. Abandoning the judicial overhaul is likely to be out of the question, given the level of support it commands among top PiS officials, including Kaczynski. For PiS, the changes to the judiciary, restrictions on the media, and a more assertive stance against Western neighbours and the EU are different ways to achieve the same goal, namely reshaping the country along more conservative, nationalist and traditionalist lines, and ridding it of the 'liberal elites' – including those in Brussels – that have corrupted and suppressed the country. Reactions from EU institutions feed into this rhetoric, which could render them counter-productive.
Further instability ahead
The EC has requested that the government respond to the infringement process within a month, but the legal process is likely to take much longer. Meanwhile, Duda is preparing his own proposals for reform of the Supreme Court and the National Judicial Council. Other PiS representatives have come out strongly against both Duda and the EC, and a sustained domestic campaign to strengthen support for the changes – and opposition to the EC – is likely to dominate domestic politics in the coming weeks. Despite broad agreement among political parties, legal experts and the public that the Polish judiciary is in need of reform, the kind of measured cross-party collaboration such a process requires seems increasingly remote in the current heated political environment.
For companies in Poland, the short-term impact of the situation is likely to be limited. PiS moderates have spent much of the last 18 months trying to mend fences with investors, following the party's radical changes and numerous face-offs with European institutions. By and large, they appear to have been successful: the economy is booming, and business confidence – and investment – has continued to grow. However, while political or financial sanctions remain remote, the situation is a timely reminder to companies in Poland that PiS's agenda is likely to continue to provoke strong reactions, increasing the scope for instability and unrest. In the longer-term, the erosion of judicial independence is likely to adversely affect the business environment and increase legal uncertainty. Meanwhile, the increasingly strained relations with the EU risk placing Poland on the sidelines as the bloc redefines its role, position and purpose in the coming years.

Q: Buffer signals before particular signal occurs I wonder if it's possible to accumulate results of signals happening between nexts of a particular signal. Similar to
[[[RACSignal
    combineLatest:@[signal1, signal2, signal3]]
    takeUntil:signal4]
    subscribeNext:^(id x) {
        // ...
    }];

But not completing after the first signal4's next.
The scenario I'm working with is I have a viewController1 that presents viewController2. viewController2 allows user to change an object that affects data presented in viewController1. Currently I'm exposing an objectChangedSignal on a viewController2 and listening to it from viewController1.
However, I'd like to receive changes of the object directly from the viewController1 but only after it fires viewWillAppear signal and only if changes happened after viewWillDisappear of viewController1.
Hope it makes sense, thank you.

A: One way to buffer values is to use -[RACSignal collect], which collects them into an array until the signal completes:
[[[RACSignal combineLatest:@[ s1, s2, s3 ]]
    collect]
    takeUntil:s4]

Howevever, you probably wanted each value to be sent individually on the final signal, not an array of values. You can use -[RACSignal flattenMap:] to flatten those values back into the final signal:
[[[[RACSignal combineLatest:@[ s1, s2, s3 ]]
    collect]
    takeUntil:s4]
    flattenMap:^(NSArray *collected) {

        return [[collected rac_sequence] signal];

    }]

And since you don't want your signal to be completed after s4, you can use -repeat to resubscribe after every time s4 sends a value. If you didn't do this, the -takeUntil: would cause your signal to complete when that happens.
[[[[[RACSignal combineLatest:@[ s1, s2, s3 ]]
    collect]
    takeUntil:s4]
    flattenMap:^(NSArray *collected) {

        return [[collected rac_sequence] signal];

    }]
    repeat]

Note that if any of the combined signals are cold signals, the resubscription will cause their side effects to occur additional times. So you may have to convert them into a hot signal by multicasting them (or the combined signal):
RACMulticastConnection *mc = [[RACSignal combineLatest:@[ s1, s2, s3 ]] publish];
RACDisposable *d = [mc connect];
[[[mc.signal
    takeUntil:s4]
    flattenMap:^(NSArray *collected) {

        return [[collected rac_sequence] signal];

    }]
    repeat]

You may need to explicitly unsubscribe (by disposing d) if your signal would otherwise live infinitely.
(Nota bene, this code is untested.)

Kyhytysuka: A pure carnivorous `fish lizard` from 130 million years ago discovered – WION
The 130-million-year-old hypercarnivore Kyhytysuka, often known as the "Fish Lizard," has been unearthed.
A remarkable 130-million-year-old swordfish-shaped marine reptile fossil reveals the emergence of hypercarnivory in these last-surviving ichthyosaurs.
A group of multinational researchers from Canada, Colombia, and Germany have unearthed a new prehistoric marine reptile.
The specimen is a brilliantly preserved meter-long skull from one of the few remaining ichthyosaurs — prehistoric beasts that look alarmingly like live swordfish.
According to researchers, this new species reveals the entire picture of ichthyosaur evolution.
This species, according to experts, originates from a crucial transitional era in the Early Cretaceous.
The Earth had emerged from a comparatively cold phase, sea levels were increasing, and Pangea, the supercontinent, had been split into northern and southern territory.
There were additional worldwide extinction events near the end of the Jurassic, which altered marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

Will the West Survive the Century?
"Nativism … xenophobia or worse" is behind the triumph of Brexit and the support for Donald Trump, railed President Barack Obama in Ottawa.
Obama believes that resistance to transformational change in the character and identity of countries of the West, from immigration, can only be the product of sick minds or sick hearts.
According to The New York Times, he will spend the last months of his presidency battling "the nativism and nationalism" of Trump and "Britain's Brexiteers."
Prediction: Obama will fail. For rising ethnonationalism and militarization of frontiers is baked in the cake, if the West wishes to remain the West.
Behind that prediction lie the startling figures of the U.N.'s "World Population 2015" chart, which just arrived.
Consider but a few of those figures.
Between now and 2050, Europe will lose 32 million people. Not one European nation has a fertility rate — 2.1 children per woman — sufficient to keep it alive. A quarter of all Europeans are 60 or older.
The tribes that created the West are passing away.
Contrast Europe with Africa, just across the Mediterranean.
Between now and 2050, Africa will add 1.3 billion people, to reach 2.4 billion in 2050. Then its population will double again, to 4.4 billion, by 2100.
Only 5 percent of Africans are 60 or older, while 41 percent of Africans are 15 or younger.
Given the tyranny, destitution and disease that afflict Africa, what — other than barriers, border guards and warships — is there to stop tens of millions of young African men from crossing over in coming decades to fill the empty spaces left by dying Europeans?
The Arab-Muslim population of North Africa alone, from the western Sahara and Morocco to Egypt and Sudan, will add 130 million people in 35 years. Egypt will add 60 million, to reach a population of 151 million by 2050.
Yet Egypt will still have only the fifth-highest population of Muslims, behind Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India.
While impossible to find a Western country with a fertility rate that will prevent its native-born people from dying off, it is difficult to find a Muslim country that does not boast a rising or exploding population.
If the future belongs to the young, it belongs to Asians, Africans and Latin Americans, and it belongs to Islam.
Eastern Europe presents the grimmest picture in Europe.
Between now and 2050, Poland will lose 5 million people; Ukraine almost 10 million; and Russia 15 million. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will see one-sixth of their combined population disappear.
Such losses are comparable to those of World War II.
In percentage terms, Ukraine will suffer most. By midcentury, its population will have shrunk by 21 percent, to 35 million. Is this not a graver matter than whose flag flies over Crimea?
The bleakest prospects belong to Japan, home to some of the most capable, industrious and advanced people on earth.
Between now and 2050, Japan will lose 19 million people and see its population fall to 107 million. A third of the nation is already 60 or older. Only 1 in 7 Japanese are under 16.
Japanese are the oldest people on earth. In coming decades, a large slice of Japan's population will be working to support health care, pensions and welfare for the aged, infirm and dying.
And the United States?
With Mexico and Central America adding 56 million people in 35 years, either the U.S. secures its southern border or the 11-12 million immigrants here illegally will have millions of new compatriots.
America is already evolving into another country.
Though the U.S. is projected to grow by 67 million people in 35 years, this growth will be wholly among Hispanics, Asians and African-Americans. In each of the past four years, non-Hispanic white Americans have registered more deaths than births.
Between July 2014 and July 2015, the Asian-American population grew by 3.4 percent, and the Hispanic population grew 2.2 percent. The black population was up 1.3 percent. But the white population grew by only 0.1 percent.
White America has begun to die.
Can Obama really believe that amnesty for undocumented immigrants is still in the cards with a Republican Congress scorched by the forces behind Trump?
Can he believe that the right-wing parties proliferating across Europe, which see their nations imperiled by a rising tide of Muslim immigrants and refugees, will pack it in and support the EU's march to a transnational superstate that controls immigration and borders?
What has been tabled for discussion this year, in Europe and America, is the future of the West as an identifiable civilization to be cherished and defended by the peoples whose ancestors created it.
And Obama's reverence for Islam notwithstanding, the West remains the greatest civilization of them all.
Belatedly, Western Man appears to have decided to defend the shire, pull up the drawbridge, and man the parapets on the castle walls.
As for Trumpism and the Brexiteers, Mr. President, in the words of Jimmy Durante, "you ain't seen nothing yet."

How To Handle the Next Market Sell-Off


Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau will host Sunday's football game between Nantes and Reims. Nantes were desperate to record a win against Strasbourg in their last league match and they managed to get one. Les Canaris did well to register their first win of the season, but they do not want to stop now. Nantes are likely to go all guns blazing at Reims on Matchday 5 and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. Reims head into the match following back-to-back losses to the likes of Amiens and Montpellier and they must be low on confidence ahead of the trip to Nantes. It is well known that les Canaris produce much better showings on home soil than on the road and that is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Miguel Cardoso's charges.
