Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is hoping to help de-escalate tensions between India and Pakistan during a visit to Delhi.
The prince, known as MbS, is on a tour of Asia and visited Pakistan for two days before his scheduled arrival in Delhi on Tuesday.
Last week, tensions between the two nuclear-armed countries intensified following an attack in which a militant rammed an explosive-laden van into a paramilitary bus in India-controlled Kashmir.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday Pakistan would retaliate if India attacked in response to the bombing.
India, which blames Pakistan for the attack and has promised a "jaw-breaking response", responded by demanding Mr Khan acknowledge it as terrorism and "take credible and visible action" against "terrorists and terror groups operating from areas under their control".
The militant attack, which killed at least 41 soldiers, was the worst against Indian government forces in the Kashmir conflict's long and bloody history.

Four Indian soldiers, three suspected militants, a police official and a civilian were then killed as Indian soldiers searched for those responsible.

Pakistan denies any role in the bombing and warned India against linking it to the attack without evidence.
Saudi Arabia said it would "de-escalate" rising tensions between the hostile neighbours during a high-profile summit in Islamabad.

India and Pakistan each administer a part of Muslim-majority Kashmir, with both claiming the territory in its entirety.
The countries have fought two of their three wars over it.
Rebels have been fighting Indian rule since 1989, with some demanding Indian-controlled Kashmir be united under Pakistani rule and others calling for it to be established as an independent country. Thousands have died in fighting.
Following the latest attack, Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

He alleged that "for domestic political reasons, India has deliberately ratcheted up its hostile rhetoric against Pakistan and created a tense environment."
Mr Qureshi added: "It is with a sense of urgency that I draw your attention to the deteriorating security situation in our region resulting from the threat of use of force against Pakistan by India."
A general election will be held in India in the coming months, with the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party and NDA coalition facing electoral uncertainty.
After its talks with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia said it would release around 2,107 Pakistani prisoners with immediate effect.

The gesture comes after Prince Mohammed said Riyadh would make significant investments in Pakistan to support its ailing economy.
He announced investment deals worth $20bn (£15.5bn) when he arrived in Islamabad on Saturday, saying it was the "first phase" of a series of investments that "will certainly grow each month and every year".
In return, Islamabad said it will confer the Order of Pakistan, its highest civilian honour, on the crown prince.

25+ Marriage Story Reviews – The Director Breaks Down Fight Scene
December 8, 2019 ~ Todd Russell
More and more quality Netflix Original movies are being released. This year I now have three in my top 10 films of 2019, so apparently their strategy of throwing billions into producing great original content is working.
So, on Friday 12/6/2019 another good, recommended movie became available for streaming …
Marriage Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you haven't seen it yet, then bookmark this post and come back because we're about to venture into SPOILER territory ….
…. you've been warned SPOILERS ahead ..
While I knocked off a star, my criticisms are very minimal in this film. I felt a few scenes were too long and there was some repetition between scenes. A little bit more tightening and this could have been 4.5 or 5 stars. It felt like it should have been, content-wise 90 minutes and yet it was 136 minutes. Netflix is clearly not as imposing as the Hollywood studios when it comes run time.
Or maybe this is just the new way of doing movies. Go ahead and just have these long scenes, even if each scene isn't presenting any new information or providing any new character info. Most of the scenes do give us new information, but there are other scenes that could have been shortened (the whole two separate Halloween trick or treating, for example).
Laura Dern, Alan Alda and Ray Liotta all have great supporting roles as divorce attorneys. Scarlett Johansson has minimal makeup and looks throughout this film like she's in a perpetual state of tears. Her eyes are often red, she looks down a lot and you can just feel her pain visually. Brilliant.
One of the most emotionally charged scenes I've seen in any 2019 movie comes from a fight between Adam Driver's character Charlie and his wife, Nicole played by Scar Jo. The director, Noah Bombach, describes how the scene was constructed over two days:
"They've lost their voices; they've lost a sense of who they are," the filmmaker says of this pivotal point. "They're trying to figure out what they believe anymore. And that's a dangerous place, I think, for a couple to find themselves." Charlie and Nicole rediscover their own voices — and perspectives — in this painstakingly choreographed sequence, which was shot over two days. It's a cruel, relentless duet of a scene — but ultimately offers relief. "It was the most difficult scene I've ever shot in a movie," Baumbach tells EW. "But also the most rewarding."
Marriage Story: Noah Baumbach breaks down Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson fight scene | EW.com
The scene in question is visceral. It's the horror equivalent emotionally of a gross out scene that you can't get over. Absolutely brilliant.
Scar Jo talks about her acting role in Marriage Story
Both interviews of Scar Jo and Adam Driver have them sharing their feelings about their complex characters.
Adam Driver on his role in Marriage Story
These are the roles that actors and actresses dream of having.
Let's see, so far, what other moviegoers think of Marriage Story.
Did I miss your review? Use the comments to tell me about your movie-related/review blog and I'll follow. I enjoy following movie-related blogs. Yes, even those who disagree with my reviews and vice versa.
ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES / Jay: "…is an insightful and well-aimed gut punch. It hit me right in the feels. But even Sean, who comes from a cozy nuclear family and is married to the most amazing woman on earth, even Sean was stirred up. Love is easy. Marriage is hard. Divorce is a goddamned hole in the heart."
David A. Lynch: "What Johansson does here is many times as monumental as any of Black Widows's heroic acts. She's rarely been better. Driver – as the self-centered, vulnerable, determinedly jaunty husband for whom work in New York City never stops and being with their son, Henry, on the opposite coast is paramount – perhaps never has."
Embrace Your Geek: "I was surprised how much I loved this movie. I did not expect to love it this much, but the two lead actors are so great, and the film is so well created that you cannot help but love it."
Film Reviews by Matt Olech: " Noah Baumbach created a story that moves by its realism. It is one of the few, small films that have the luck to become a success. I can't find any elements that I wouldn't like in it. Beautiful subtle colours, script, brilliant acting performances creates one of my favourite film of the year."
Hector Valvede (Grade: A): "Beset in mercilessly real melancholy, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson wring two of the most gutting performances of 2019"
High Contrast: "…this film is so well written, shot, and produced that you will feel like you have personal experience by the end. You feel like you are a part of this couple's journey. You will want them to succeed. You will want them to be happy. And you will want them to work it out."
Jarrad Jzyk (9/10): "Overall Marriage Story punched me right in the gut and I loved it. It really is a modern day Kramer vs Kramer with a lot more humor and in my opinion has more heart. It's one of the best written and directed films of the year and has two Oscar worthy Tour de Force performances in Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson."
Jordan Woodson's Reviews: "…is raw and emotional with stellar writing, directing and acting across the board. It'll leave you in absolute tears so yes, make sure you have some tissues near you when you stream this on Netflix (you should definitely watch it as long as you're in the right headspace)."
Laurie Stone: "I didn't enjoy the film, and I don't think it's good. It felt false from beginning to end and like a piece of self-congratulation on the part of the director/writer for giving the female character her due. He doesn't. Her position is witless and makes no sense within the terms of the breakup and as a result makes everything she says about feeling pushed around and used sound like a sudden tantrum, a spurt of #MeToo juice directed at her husband, who hasn't really done anything."
Let's Talk About Movies (3.5/5): "Baumbach's humane and often hilarious film gets under your skin from the very first moment. Every scene registers poignantly, from an opening sequence where Charlie and Nicole make lists about why they love each other, to a heartbreaking moment where they do the exact opposite somewhere in the middle. Baumbach sits back and lets us watch. His film hits hard. It's raw, beautiful, devastating, and one of the best movies of the year."
Movie Man Jackson (Grade: A-): "The buzz is legit surrounding Marriage Story. It's a moving love story told through the lens of a divorce; an epic covered in basic wrapping paper. I've never divorced, much less married. However, I feel like I've been in the heat of one after viewing."
Movie Meister Reviews / Lee (5/5): " Everything about Marriage Story is just great, from the perfect framing to the incredible performances to a script that's so meticulous I wouldn't be stunned to learn that it included when to breathe. It's the kind of film that just grabs you and pulls you in before you have a chance to complain, it's just generally wonderful in every way one could hope a dramedy about divorce would be."
Movie Nation / rogerinorlando (2.5/4): ""Marriage Story" is almost funny enough and touching just often enough to endorse. It's good, but it's no "Scenes from a Marriage" or "Husbands and Wives" or hell, "Company," for that matter. It's just Netflixable."
Movies Unchained: "Baumbach has made one of the year's most extraordinary films, exploring the depths of the human condition with humour and pathos, telling an earnest story about people dealing with change, and all the challenges that life tends to throw at us, sometimes unexpectedly."
mumofthreedevils: " The film is stunning. Beautifully acted by all throughout, with stand out performances by Adam Driver and Scarlett Johannson. It is funny, sombre, heart wrenching, gut punching, I could go on and on."
Neil Baker (5/5): "…at the centre of this beautifully directed drama, are Johansson and Driver. Both embracing their characters and the complexity of their emotional journey with masterful performances. While being surrounded by a supporting cast who in turn add layers of humour, anxiety, fear and love to the journey."
PopCult: "I cannot emphasize how damn good Scarlett Johanssen and Adam Driver are in this film. Their performances are so genuine and honest at every turn. Johanssen hasn't been this good in years, mainly because she's been doing so much big-budget special effect heavy work rather than character-centered pieces."
Reviewsien: "Both Johansson and Driver are excellent in their roles. It's interesting to see how good they can both be when they aren't playing comic book characters or space fantasy roles. The film is actually done so well it's emotionally hard to watch."
RsKViews: "…gives a beautiful experience,an experience that shouldn't be neglected so do watch this one."
Seeing Things Secondhand: "…is not a great movie about feelings. It is a very successful legal drama, so much so that I think its best moment in performance and in writing is in a line reading Adam Driver has while he's talking to Alan Alda."
The Buzzed Beat (7/10): "Is it going to win any awards? Nah but it's a solid movie to watch with your significant other so she's scared shitless to go through a divorce. Oh and that Kylo Ren guy is in it."
The World of Celebrity (5/5): " is just staggering. It will emotionally resonate with you for hours after you've seen it. It is heartbreaking watching a couple going from being loving and supportive to ugly, petty and downright nasty, even though they always intended for the process to be amicable."
Through The Movie Lens: "It was a shock to those familiar with the director's work who shies away from all that is mainstream and commercial, basically everything that Netflix represents. But hey, if Scorsese is doing it, why shouldn't everyone else?"
Trailer Trashed: "Not my usual brand of entertainment at all. But really so pleased I gave it a shot. Marriage story has a huge seal of approval from me, I urge you all to at east give it a fair shot."
When The Credits Roll: "…the best divorce movie I think I've seen. It's funny, brutally emotional, and it's all performed, written, and directed so extremely well that it feels like I'm watching a home video of two people I know when Nicole and Charlie are on screen together. It hurts, it amuses, it invokes an array of feelings, but more so than that it's frustratingly good that you just want to be wrapped up in its embrace for another two hours, even with everything it puts you through."
Zimm Score Movie Guide: "I will say up front is the best film of the year, and perhaps the best dramedy I've seen to date. While in the past I've mentioned how filmmakers seem challenged to seamlessly blend comedy and drama together, Baumbach took up this challenge and passed with flying colors."

Map of Dundee City
St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral
St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral, Dundee
St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral was built in 1853 by the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-78) and is located on a prominent site on the old Castle Hill in the centre of Dundee. Designed in a Neo-Gothic style, the cathedral is dominated by a 64m (210-foot) high spire. While the imposing facade overlooks the High Street from the south, the other elevations are hidden behind the buildings of Commercial Street and Castle Street. The interior is grand; there is a marble altar, mosaic reredos by Salviati of Venice, an organ by William Hill which dates from 1865, while there is fine stained glass by John Hardman and Scott & Drape. There is also an armoire incorporating carved panels which came from Lindores Abbey and a memorial to James Chalmers (1782 - 1853), who invented the adhesive postage stamp. The cathedral has been A-listed since 1963.

Though his music sometimes exhibits the romantic sweep of chamber music and can be marked with skittering beats, Venezuela-born producer Alejandro Ghersi's work as Arca is defined above all by its fluidity and flexibility. Mutant builds on his 2014 album Xen to create a hypnotic and eveloping world.
Featured Tracks:
"Vanity" — ArcaVia SoundCloud
"Soichiro" — ArcaVia SoundCloud
Though his music sometimes exhibits the romantic sweep of chamber music and can be marked with skittering beats, Venezuela-born producer Alejandro Ghersi's work as Arca is defined above all by its fluidity and flexibility. You can hear conventional musicality inside of his tracks—melodies, chord changes—but rather than being fixed on paper, they are always in flux. Individual notes twitch and vibrate, refusing to stay with a single pitch; rapidly shifting clusters hint at proper chords without ever quite committing to them; tempos speed up and slow down according to whims rather than the grid of a timeline. Arca's deeply organic machine music is defined by Ghersi's ability to find grace in imperfection.
Ghersi has come a long way in a short time, his career the sort of underground/mainstream hybrid that could only happen in the digital era, when producers rapidly move from sharing home-recorded beats online to working with stars. Though his music has varied greatly, you've always been able to hear his voice inside of it. The first music heard from Ghersi was a series of three low-profile releases in 2012 that made small waves among electronic music heads but were little heard outside of that circle. But among that group was someone working on Kanye West's 2013 album Yeezus, and Arca wound up contributing to four tracks, including "Blood on the Leaves" and "I'm in It". That same year, he also produced for FKA twigs, helping to create a futuristic pop that was simultaneously dense and spare and defined by its elusiveness. Xen, Arca's 2014 full-length debut, expanded Ghersi's range further, sounding like a bent version of modern classical music crumpled into a ball with a post-dubstep beat tape. Music created for a fashion show in Italy earlier this year spoke further to Ghersi's ability to move between genres, scenes, and high/low art boundaries, and his continued collaboration with artist Jesse Kanda on the visual aspects of his work make Arca a project with a rare thematic integrity. He's developing quickly but building on a clear foundation.
If Aphex Twin took the playful communal energy of early-'90s rave and turned it to highly personal art, and producers of the early '00s like Fennesz and Tim Hecker showed how emerging software could be used to create new worlds, Arca is making the abstract electronic music of our current moment, music for an idea of humanity that exists outside of binaries. "Xen is a genderless being," he told The Guardian last year. "It's about resisting labels and integrating different sides of ourselves." Accordingly, Arca tracks are never one fixed thing: Conventional beauty is swirled together with ugliness, aggressiveness exists alongside serenity, chaos and form fail to cancel each other out. Mutant is an album of contrasts, and Ghersi has an uncanny ability to let extremes interact with each other to create something new.
The 20 tracks here stretch for over an hour, but lines between them are unclear, and when heard at once the record can seem like one long suite, treating us to an array of sounds and moods. You can imagine "Vanity" as a piano solo, so pretty and memorable are the central melodic motifs, but Ghersi's production on the track is essentially a series of controlled explosions, the sound of a song breaking into a million pieces and re-assembling itself. "Alive"'s drones are positively cavernous, sounding like a memory of an ancient civilization bubbling up through a hole in the earth, and he breaks up the static drift with splattering breaks that jolt the song at irregular intervals. The repeated vocal loop on "Umbilical" is one of the few sounds on the record connected to life on planet Earth, but it's mixed in with some of the album's harshest and coldest electronics. As the tracks tick off and you lose track of how far into the album you actually are, the clarity of Ghersi's vision comes into focus. The broken-ness of the music takes on an empowering energy, as oblong fragments bind together into gorgeously weird shapes and dynamic shifts that shouldn't make sense feel perfectly logical.
Compared to Xen, Mutant feels less composed and less indebted to classical music. With many tracks on the former album you could squint a little bit and imagine them being performed by a daring new music ensemble, à la Aphex Twin with Alarm Will Sound. But Mutant leans toward soundscape, avoiding proper songs. There are moments in the back half, particularly on "Enveloped", where beats crop up and you can imagine them being used to back a pop production of some kind, but even here the warped instrumental patch used for the melody is too strange and otherworldly for an artist that has ever been on the radio. It's not an easy listen; this is glorious music that sounds like a living thing, and it can be hard to connect the album to anything outside of itself. Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí said that the straight line belongs to man and the curved to God; on Mutant, Ghersi turns a fixation on porousness and instability into a kind of spiritual pursuit.

We now know a bit more about the main villain from this summer's Netflix TV event, The Defenders. The heroes of Marvel's Netflix TV shows will finally come together during The Defenders miniseries to battle The Hand, which has been hinted at as the main enemy of the team-up event since the very first season of Daredevil. The organization has weaved in and out of both Daredevil and Iron Fist, but it has remained elusive as to what the organization actually wants or how it is ultimately structured - or who's in charge.
We've known for a while that Sigourney Weaver is playing a mysterious villain named Alexandra in The Defenders, but what has been harder to place is just who her character is and how she fits into the larger world that is the Marvel/Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Up to this point, all that we know about her is that she appears to be the head of a shady business organization. It seems that she might be more than that, however.
"What's interesting about these characters is that our first director [S.J. Clarkson], the director that did episodes 1 and 2 of 'The Defenders,' was able to — her idea was to really keep each superhero very distinct in terms of palette.
"There was a palette component to [Alexandra's] world too. I don't really want to get into that, but you can draw your own conclusions from what you've seen. [There is] a lot of depth to her wardrobe. A lot of life or lives to her wardrobe, I wanna say."
What has been revealed of Alexandra's wardrobe in The Defenders trailers and images released to date, are muted gold and silver with a lot of texture. It seems to contrast with the colorful natures of The Defenders themselves, who use a lot more solid colors with far less texture.
Maslansky's cryptic words about the depth of her wardrobe as having a "lot of life or lives" also brings about some interesting questions. We know that The Hand possesses the ability to bring the dead back to life, so it is possible that Alexandra has been around for a very, very long time. Considering that her character was hinted at having telekinetic powers in the trailer she is probably an incredibly powerful enemy for The Defenders to reckon with.

Q: Time Machine restore is asking to install MacOS and use Migration tool My MacBook Pro came from service center and I am trying to restore from Time Machine back up. I performed the following step.

*

*Started mac and pressed command + R

*Selected option to restore from Time Machine

*Selected my hard drive as the source

*Clicked on continue

After this I am suppose to get the option to select Mac hard drive to continue but instead I am getting a pop up. The pop up is asking me to do a fresh install of MacOS and then use Migration tool or select a different source for back up.

Q: Find condition for the number $A=\frac{n^a}{a}+\frac{n^b}{b}+\frac{n^c}{c }$ be prime. Find condition for the number $A=\frac{n^a}{a}+\frac{n^b}{b}+\frac{n^c}{c }$ be prime.
Solution:
Suppose n is prime to numbers a, b and c, then we have:
$n^a≡1 \mod (abc)= k (abc) +1$
⇒ $\frac{n^a}{a}=k_1 (bc)+\frac{1}{a}$
$\frac{n^b}{b}=k_2 (ac)+\frac{1}{b}$
$\frac{n^c}{c}=k_3 (ab)+\frac{1}{c}$
$A=\frac{n^a}{a}+\frac{n^b}{b}+\frac{n^c}{c }=k_1(bc)+k_2(ac)+k_3(ab)+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}$
Therefore we must have:
$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}=B$; $B$, integer.
So values for a, b and c are limited to $(a, b ,c)= (3, 3, 3)$ and $(2, 3, 6)$. So this statement can only be true for these numbers and $n=6k+1$.
Generally the numbers like $A=\frac{n^a}{a}+\frac{n^b}{b}+\frac{n^c}{c } + . . .$  can be infinite, because there can always be solutions for sums of  following type:
$B=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}+ . . .= 1$
That is if B is integer there can be an integer like A.For A with three terms for $a=h=c=1$, $A=3$ which is prime and seems to be an exception, because number A seems to be normally composite; for example for ($ a=2, b=3, c=6$), we get $A=403=13\times 31$. I could not prove this analytically. Any Idea for proving analytically that numbers like A can be prime in following conditions?
$A=a.b.c...+1$
$B=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}+ . . .$; $B ∈ \mathbb Z$

A: If I have understood your question correctly it is to find all integer solutions of
$$\frac{n^a}{a}+\frac{n^b}{b}+\frac{n^c}{c } + . . .=p$$
where $p$ is prime and $n$ is prime to $a,b,c,...$. Without loss of generality we can suppose $a\le b\le c\le ...$
Multiplying out we have $$n^abc...+n^bac...+n^cab...=pabc...$$
First suppose $n\ne1$. Then $n^a$ is a factor of $pabc...$ and so $n^a$ is a factor of $p$. Therefore $n=p,a=1$. Then $\frac{n^a}{a}=p$ and so there is no solution.
So $n=1$ and the problem is to find all integer solutions of
$$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c } + . . .=p.$$

Nome je aljašské město ležící na Sewardově poloostrově. Žije zde 3 598 obyvatel, z toho je více než polovina Eskymáků.

V roce 1898 bylo na nedalekém potoce Anvil Creek nalezeno zlato a na místě vznikl velký stanový tábor, který se časem změnil v město. V roce 1906 město navštívil Roald Amundsen na lodi Gjøa po prvním úspěšném proplutí severozápadní cestou. V roce 1909 zde žilo přes dvacet tisíc lidí, pak zlatá horečka opadla a většina lidí odešla, ale Nome zůstalo důležitým přístavem a střediskem západní části Aljašky.

V zimě roku 1925 ve městě vypukla epidemie záškrtu a vyskytlo se několik úmrtí. Zásoby séra ale ve městě došly a proto místní lékař Welch vyslal radiotelegram s urgentní žádostí o sérum. Bez něj by se úmrtnost u domorodé populace blížila sto procentům, protože domorodci neměli proti záškrtu žádnou imunitu. Jediným způsobem spojení města s okolním světem byla psí spřežení, protože v zimě moře kolem Nome zamrzá a tehdejší letadla nebyla v tak extrémních podmínkách použitelná. Psí spřežení vezoucí sérum nakonec urazilo vzdálenost 1085 km za pouhých 5 a půl dne a obyvatele města zachránilo. Balto, vůdčí pes prvního spřežení, které dorazilo do cíle, se stal národním hrdinou a v newyorském Central Parku mu byla odhalena socha. Na počest této události je na části této trasy dnes každoročně pořádán závod psích spřežení Iditarod. Příběh popsal český spisovatel František Omelka v povídce Štafeta.

Vzniku názvu města se věnuje jedna z povídek Otakara Batličky, podle níž kartograf připravující mapu Aljašky napsal k tomuto městu Nomen (latinsky jméno), protože neznal jeho název a potřeboval jej do mapy ještě doplnit, avšak pak na to zapomněl a latiny neznalý tiskař slovo s malou chybou vysázel.

Chelsea have been claiming a strong steak for a four-tops place of lately, winning three away games on the bouncy, and a win here would take them within point three of Liverpool with a game in hand.
Their opponents could be knockered following from their Chompions League trip to Rome during the middleweek, so I have to say I can forssell them getting it.
Much may deep end on just how fit and flaming that man Mo Salad will be by then, because he could posie some serious problems on his old pomping ground.

Q: When filtering query on custom taxonomy; main menu dissapears I have created a custom taxonomy, and that works.
But here is the problem;
I have created an archive page, which in the url gets e.g. this: ?category=23. Then, in functions.php, I do this:
function add_inspiration_category( $q ) {
    if (is_post_type_archive('inspiration') && !is_admin()) {

        $category_id = $_GET['category'];
        if (!empty($category_id)) {
            $q->set('tax_query', array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'inspiration-taxonomy',
                    'field' => 'id',
                    'terms' => $category_id
                )
            ));
        }
    }

    return $q;
}
add_filter('parse_query', 'add_inspiration_category');

So, basically I'm filtering the archive pages result based on the id in the url. This works, except when I'm filtering on a category, the main menu dissapears from the header. If I remove the ?category=23 from the url or comment out the section above where I set the tax_query, it works as expected again. Anyone know what this is?

A: You are applying that filter to every query on the pages matching the conditions or that if. You need to restrict this to only the main query and make sure that the conditions are only operating on the $q query passed into the function.
if ($q->is_main_query()
   && $q->is_post_type_archive('inspiration')
   && !is_admin()) {

Firefighting Foam and Forever Chemicals Lawsuit
Forever chemicals have been associated with various injuries throughout the decades, including groundwater contamination resulting in infertility, birth defects, and cancer. Additionally, forever chemicals have been used by firefighters in the form of firefighting foam. Unfortunately, firefighting foam has been linked to causing cancer to firefighters.
GoldenbergLaw is currently investigating cases where an individual has been diagnosed with cancer or suffered a developmental injury from exposure to firefighting foam or other forever chemicals. Contact one of our Minnesota Firefighting Foam Attorneys today for a free consultation.
Call 800-903-1643 >
Case Quick Facts
What Is A PFAS "Forever Chemical"?
PFAS is short for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The PFAS family of more than 5,000 synthetic chemicals are known as "forever chemicals" due to the extremely long amount of time it takes these chemicals to disintegrate in the environment and in the human body.
PFAS chemicals are identified by key elemental bonds of fluorine and carbon. The strength of this bond makes it difficult for the chemicals to break down. PFAS chemicals have been used in multiple industries due to their ability to repel oil and water. They have been manufactured since the 1940s and can be found in Teflon nonstick products, polishes, waxes, clothing, stains and water repellants, paints, cleaning products, food packaging and firefighting foams.
Dangers Of Exposure To Firefighting Foam (AFFF)
One product containing a toxic forever chemical is known as AFFF– aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), or more commonly known as firefighting foam. It is used for liquid fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel. This prevents the fuel from coming in contact with oxygen and, therefore, stops the formation of flammable vapors. It also provides dramatic fire knockdown, which is a key factor in crash rescue firefighting. Firefighting foam is used by firefighters, military personnel, and at airports.
The toxic chemicals in AFFFs include PFAS perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) which are compounds that were originally produced by 3M. These chemicals are used in manufacturing along with a variety of other chemical products. These PFAS chemicals can accumulate in the blood and bodies of individuals who have been exposed to them, which can lead to serious injury and cancer.
Injuries resulting from firefighters' exposure to AFFFs include:
Acute kidney failure
How Are People Exposed To PFAS Chemicals?
Exposure to PFAS chemicals can occur through:
Public water systems and drinking water wells, soil, and outdoor air near industrial areas where frequent PFAS chemical manufacturing, disposal, or use occurs.
Indoor air or dust in spaces that contain carpets, textiles, and other consumer products treated with PFAS to resist stains.
Surface water (lakes, ponds, etc.) or groundwater receiving run-off or seepage from areas where firefighting foam was used.
Fish from water contaminated by PFAS chemicals.
Food items sold in the marketplace.
Food packaging.
Firefighting Foam.
Unborn babies and children can be exposed to PFAS chemicals through:
Umbilical cord blood from their mothers during pregnancy.
Breast milk or formula made with water than contains PFAS.
Food, water, and other products treated with PFAS chemicals.
Young children are at an increased risk of PFAS exposure from carpet and cleaning products due to the large amount of time spent lying and crawling on floors.
Health Effects Of Exposure to PFAS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health outcomes. If PFAS are ingested (such as by eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with PFAS), the PFAS are absorbed and can accumulate in the body for long periods of time. Once PFAS chemicals enter the body, they usually settle into the blood, kidney and liver.
Exposure to PFAS chemicals has been linked to:
Developmental Problems
Liver Injuries
Kidney Injuries
Immunological Injuries
The Defendants
Exposure to PFAS in the environment has been linked to manufacturing facilities owned and operated by 3M and Dupont. Both companies are facing multiple lawsuits from municipalities and individuals related to environmental contamination from forever chemicals and injuries linked to firefighting foam exposure. In 2018, 3M settled with the state of Minnesota for $850 million over allegations that forever chemicals produced by the corporation had contaminated drinking water and other resources in areas surrounding its manufacturing facilities. The funds will be used to invest in safe drinking water and other natural resource initiatives in the areas impacted by the contamination.

The Minnesota Cancer Attorneys at GoldenbergLaw have been representing victims of toxic contamination for over 30 years. Contact the Forever Chemicals Litigation Team at GoldenbergLaw today to receive a free consultation about a firefighting foam cancer lawsuit.
Government and Health Organizations Response To Firefighting Foam
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health observed that firefighters' occupational exposure to these chemicals can occur through:
Ingestion of PFAS in dust from hand-to-mouth contact.
Ingestion of PFAS throughuse of contaminated personal protective equipment and firefighting suits.
Inhalation of PFAS in worksite air.
Absorption through the skin from PFAS material handling.
Major health organizations such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Cancer Society (ACS) have recognized that certain PFAS may be linked to cancer in firefighters. The EPA has even classified PFAS as "emerging contaminants" which means that they are dangerous to human health.
Due to the bio accumulative properties, including the potentially harmful and toxic effects of PFOA and PFOS, the European Union (EU) banned their use in the majority of applications, including AFFFs. In June 2012, EU fire brigades were required to stop using AFFFs containing PFOS and PFOA.
Firefighting Foam and Forever Chemicals FAQs
What are "Forever Chemicals"
The PFAS grouping of more than 5,000 man-made chemicals are known as "forever chemicals" due to the long time it takes for these chemicals to disintegrate. The difficult disintegration is caused by their characteristic fluorine and carbon bonds.
What is Firefighting Foam?
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is more commonly known as firefighting foam. The foam is used for liquid fire suppression and works by cooling the fire and coating the fuel that is generating the fire. This prevents the fuel from coming in contact with oxygen which decreases the creation of flammable vapors. Firefighting foam is frequently used by firefighters, military personnel, and for commercial use at airports.
Can Firefighting Foam Cause Cancer?
Certain PFAS compounds may be found in firefighting foam. Consistent exposure to forever chemicals like those found in firefighting foam can lead to a build up of these chemicals in the body. This buildup can lead to long term health impacts, such as thyroid disease and certain cancers.
Where are PFAS Forever Chemicals Found and How Can I Be Exposed?
Firefighting foam (AFFF)
Surface water (lakes, ponds, etc.) or groundwater that receives run-off or seepage from areas where firefighting foam was used

Iran Intensifies Crackdown Against Greens
Mousavi, Karroubi reportedly taken to army prison, amid demands that they be executed.
Iran's chief prosecutor, along with Iran's ruling establishment, is saying, in effect: "No more Mr. Nice Guy." You might think that the regime, besieged since June, 2009, when a disputed election that returned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to office sent millions of Iranians into the streets, has already been pretty tough. But Iranian Prosecutor General Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei this week issued new warnings to the Green Movement and its allies: "Today, this movement has gone beyond sedition and turned into [a] counter-revolutionary [one]. Our policy in dealing with the [seditious] movement will be different from now on."
He didn't say what he meant, but according to the Iranian opposition, the movement's two top leaders, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, have been arrested and taken away, or at least been placed under forcible house arrest. Earlier, there were calls for Mousavi, a former prime minister, and Karroubi, a former speaker of the parliament, to be executed, but Iranian officials have backed off such threats, perhaps fearing that the execution of two of the men who challenged Ahmadinejad in the 2009 election could spark an explosion. Even so, thousands of people took to the streets in the Iranian capital yesterday, and at least seventy-nine were arrested.
The reason Mohseni-Ejei is so agitated is because Mousavi, Karroubi, and others tried to stage a February 14 demonstration in Tehran in support of the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. As Reuter's reports, the regime blamed the protest on US, British and Israeli intelligence, and the Iranian media further claimed, without any evidence, that the protesters included backers of the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK). The MEK is a cult-like, anti-Iran group that has virtually no support in Iran but strong support from Israel, neoconservatives and many members of Congress. Speaking of events in Tehran yesterday, the Tehran prosecutor said: "A limited number of people, influenced by anti-revolutionary groups, were intending to do something. No specific incident happened on Tuesday in Tehran." (By "anti-revolutionary groups," he means the MEK.)
But there were widespread reports that many protesters clashed with police and the Basij, Iran's paramilitary zealots, and chanted, "Mousavi, Karroubi must be freed." Contradicting the regime's assertions that Mousavi and Karroubi were confined to their homes, and not under arrest, Karroubi's son declared otherwise, according to the Financial Times: "Mohammad-Taghi Karroubi, one of the sons of Mr. Karroubi, also insisted on his weblog that his parents were in jail and not under house arrest as the regime implied. 'There is no news on their situation,' he wrote, urging the regime to let the opposition leaders enjoy prisoners' rights and defend the allegations against them in an open trial." Mousavi's relatives have said the same thing. And Mousavi's website asserted that the leaders are held in an army prison: "Kaleme, the official website of Mr .Mousavi, said on Monday that the two men and their wives were imprisoned in Heshmatieh jail, which is said to be run by the armed forces."

New photography approach gives traditional cameras ultra-high imaging speeds
WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a new imaging method that can capture images at speeds of up to 1.5 million frames per second using standard imaging sensors typically limited to 100 frames per second. This new technology will make it possible to capture extremely fast events for applications such as biomedical research or slow-motion scenes in a film.
Researchers from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada describe their new method, called compressed optical-streaking ultra-high-speed photography (COSUP), in The Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters. They show the power of COSUP by using it to capture the transmission of a single laser pulse with a width of just 10 microseconds.
"COSUP has a wide range of potential applications because it can be integrated into many imaging instruments from microscopes to telescopes," explained Jinyang Liang, an assistant professor at INRS and the corresponding author for the paper. "Using different CCD and CMOS cameras with COSUP also allows the method to be used for a wide range of wavelengths and for acquiring various optical characteristics such as polarization."
The researchers say that the COSUP system might also be useful to the movie industry and sports videography, where high-speed cameras are used to capture detailed, quick movements for playback in slow motion. They are also working to miniaturize the system to allow high-quality slow-motion video capture with a smartphone.
Faster imaging
Although today's cameras are very sensitive and can be used with a wide range of wavelengths, their speed is typically limited because of the imaging sensor. Specialty high-speed cameras come with limiting trade-offs such as recording only a few frames at high speeds, one-dimensional imaging, low resolution, or a bulky and expensive setup. The researchers developed COSUP to work around these challenges by combining a computational approach called compressed sensing with an imaging method called optical streak imaging.
"COSUP has specifications similar to existing high-speed cameras with an imaging speed that is tunable from tens of thousands of frames per second to 1.5 million frames per second," said Liang. "We used off-the-shelf components to create a very economical system."
To perform COSUP, compressed sensing is used to spatially encode each temporal frame of a scene using a digital micromirror device, or DMD. This process labels the capture time of each frame much like a unique barcode. Then a scanner is used to perform temporal shearing, creating an optical streak image -- a linear image from which the temporal properties of light can be inferred -- that is captured with a traditional camera in a single shot.
"Even though the streak image contains a mixture of 2D space and time information, we can separate the data using reconstruction because of the unique labels attached to each temporal frame," said Xianglei Liu, a doctoral student at INRS and the lead author of the paper. "This gives COSUP a 2D imaging field of view that can record hundreds of frames in each movie at 1.5 million frames per second and a resolution of 500 × 1000 pixels."
Capturing a single laser pulse
The researchers demonstrated COSUP by imaging two short-lived events with a CMOS camera. In the first experiment, they fired four laser pulses, each with a pulse width of 300 microseconds, through a mask with the letters USAF. Using COSUP with an imaging speed of 60,000 frames per second they were able to record this event with 240 frames. By increasing the imaging speed to 1.5 million frames per second, they recorded a single 10-microsecond laser pulse transmitting through the USAF mask.
In the second experiment, the researchers traced the position of a fast-moving ball pattern. Using COSUP at an imaging speed of 140,000 frames per second, they recorded the spatial position and the shape of the ball pattern over time. They also measured the centroid of the ball in each temporal frame and compared it with the known location, which showed that COSUP could accurately trace the ball's position.
The researchers plan to use a COSUP system to measure the phosphorescence lifetimes of individual nanoparticles, which could be used to create an optical nanothermometer that would aid a light-based medical treatment known as photodynamic therapy.
They are also working on using COSUP to improve the imaging of membrane voltage of neurons, which can help reveal the cellular mechanisms underlying brain functions. This type of imaging is challenging because the process is transient and nonrepeatable and the indicators used produce little light. "Using COSUP with highly sensitive cameras such as an electron-multiplying CCD would enable the real-time, fast imaging required for this application," said Liang.
The researchers are also working to make the bench-top system compact enough to use outside and eventually for incorporation into smartphones. They have initiated an industrial collaboration with Axis Photonique to further develop COSUP toward a commercial product.

If a defamation claim is successful the plaintiff can be awarded general or aggravated compensatory damages or exemplary damages. Courts can issue injunctions to prevent publication. The publisher's retraction and apology reduces damages.
Two types of monetary damages are available for a plaintiff (i.e. the person who claims to have been defamed) in defamation cases.
1 General compensatory damages are intended to compensate the plaintiff for damage to their reputation. In the case of a person (but not a company), compensatory damages include compensation for hurt feelings. The Defamation Act imposes a limit on general compensatory damages of $355 500 for each court proceeding.
2 Aggravated compensatory damages are intended to compensate the plaintiff when the defendant has acted in an improper or unjustified way, and this has increased the injury to the plaintiff's reputation or feelings. Examples of improper/unjustified actions include failing to check the truth of material before publishing it, refusing to apologise, and repeating the defamatory statement after the plaintiff has complained.
Exemplary damages (i.e. damages designed to punish the defendant rather than compensate the plaintiff) cannot be awarded to plaintiffs in cases to which the Defamation Act applies.
Damages can be mitigated (reduced or kept to a minimum) by the defendant apologising or publishing a correction before the case goes to court. A defendant may also use a plaintiff's bad reputation in the community to try to mitigate the damages awarded against them. However, this has strict limitations. The alleged "bad reputation" must be in the same sphere or zone of reputation as the imputations complained of by the plaintiff. For example, if a plaintiff complains that the imputation is one of dishonesty, the plaintiff's reputation as a bad driver is not in the same sphere.
In addition, examples of specific bad acts committed by the plaintiff are not sufficient evidence of the plaintiff having a bad reputation. Rather, the defendant's case must include evidence from witnesses who can say what the plaintiff's reputation is in the community. It is the plaintiff's reputation (not their specific prior conduct) that is in question. One of the limited exceptions to this rule is evidence of prior criminal convictions – which may be relied on by a defendant on the basis that a person's criminal record forms the building blocks of their reputation.
Court orders to prevent publication
Often, a person who believes they have been defamed will threaten to seek a court injunction forbidding the publication, or continued publication, of the offending statement (prior to the final hearing of a legal action for defamation). Such injunctions are very rarely granted if the defendant claims the statement is true or that there is another good defence. To grant an injunction, a court needs to be convinced that the defendant has no realistic prospect of success. This reflects the importance the courts place on free speech.
