It's a story nearly the whole world knows, with more than 2.2 billion people around the globe following the teachings and principles of Jesus of Nazareth. But the intimate historical details of his life and the political collusions that led to his brutal demise bring intriguing context to the familiar story.
This spring, National Geographic Channel's KILLING JESUS, produced by Scott Free Productions and based on the New York Times best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, dives deep inside the historical story of how Jesus' message and preaching led to his persecution and execution by a group of conspirators who saw him as a threat to their power.
KILLING JESUS, a three-hour television event, will premiere on Palm Sunday, March 29, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on National Geographic Channel in the United States, globally in 171 countries in 45 languages and in Spanish on Nat Geo Mundo. The film is the third collaboration between NGC, Scott Free and Bill O'Reilly, whose first two projects together, Emmy-nominated Killing Kennedy and Killing Lincoln are respectively the two most-watched programs in the network's history.
Combining epic cinematography with intimate storytelling, KILLING JESUS was shot entirely in the Moroccan desert with a crew of 250 and more than 4,500 extras. The 93 speaking roles are brought to life by an incredibly diverse cast, with actors representing Lebanon, Morocco, Czech Republic, Ireland, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, Syria, Australia and the United States. The massive production, unlike anything undertaken by National Geographic Channel before, puts familiar Biblical characters under a new lens to give them layers of meaning rarely explored before.
Leading the cast are Kelsey Grammer ("Partners," "Boss") as King Herod the Great, the unrelenting and ambitious Roman-appointed King of Judea, who notoriously ordered the murder of all baby boys in Bethlehem, and Stephen Moyer ("True Blood") as Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ordered Jesus' crucifixion.
Haaz Sleiman ("The Visitor") portrays the title character Jesus, with Rufus Sewell ("Hercules") as Caiaphas, high priest of Jerusalem and conspirator in Jesus's death; Emmanuelle Chriqui ("Entourage") as Herodia, ex-wife of Herod II and wife of his brother Antipas, who manipulated her husband into having John the Baptist beheaded; Eoin Macken ("The Night Shift") as Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea; John Rhys Davies ("Indiana Jones") as Annas, a high priest in Jerusalem who first questioned Jesus and his teachings; Abhin Galeya as John the Baptist, who was considered a prophet and arrested and killed by Antipas; and Stephanie Leonidas ("Defiance") as Salome, daughter of Herod II and Herodias, whose dancing led to the demise of John the Baptist.
Rounding out the cast is Aneurin Barnard ("The White Queen") as James, one of Jesus' 12 apostles; Vernon Dobtcheff ("Before Sunset") as Isaiah, the prophet whom King Herod claimed came to him in a dream and prophesied his death; Tamsin Egerton ("The Look of Love") as Claudia, the wife of Pontius Pilate; John Lynch ("Sliding Doors") as Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the high court in Israel, who was sympathetic to Jesus; Joe Doyle ("Reign") as Judas, the apostle who eventually betrayed Jesus; Alexis Rodney ("Guardians of the Galaxy") as Simon (Peter), the apostle who was Jesus' closest confidant; and Chris Ryman ("28 Weeks Later") as Malchus, a servant to Caiaphas.
With a script from Academy and Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Walon Green ("The Wild Bunch"), and directed by BAFTA Award-winner Chris Menaul ("The Passion of Ayn Rand," "Fatherland"), KILLING JESUS brings a rich perspective to Jesus' story that will intrigue believers and nonbelievers alike.

Q: How to display number of employees of each position in each department I have two tables, named Employee and Department.

Employee (Emp_ID, Name, Position, DeptID)
Department (Department_ID, Dept_Name).

The position of an employee may be tech_support, data_entry, or assistant manager.
I want to display the name of each department along with the number of employees working in each position such that each position displayed in a separate column.
If the dept has no employees working in a position, the number displayed shall be zero.
Sample output:
Dept_Name         tech_support       data_entry        assistant manager
Accounts               5                 6                 2
Production             2                 4                 2
Sales/Marketing        0                 6                 3

A: With a LEFT JOIN of department to employee and conditional aggregation:
select
  d.dept_name,
  sum(case when e.position = 'tech_support' then 1 else 0 end) tech_support,
  sum(case when e.position = 'data_entry' then 1 else 0 end) data_entry,
  sum(case when e.position = 'assistant_manager' then 1 else 0 end) assistant_manager
from department d left join employee e
on e.deptid = d.department_id
group by d.department_id, d.dept_name

Q: Python 2 tkinter, a loan window appears when it has not been called for I have come across an issue with using the tkinter message box, when a user of my application presses the English flag and then goes to Log-out in the top right hand corner a message box appears but also another box appears with the window title 'tk', I have not made or called any such window so my theory is that the window is coming from some place with the message box or maybe its something I have mistakenly done in my code which I cant see.
here is my code below;

Apologies for it being so long but to actually see the problem you have to have all the code. Any help or fixies would be great.

A: Now there are several issues with your code and some I will address.
First off what you are trying to do is very complicated when using a Non-OOP method. I have re-written your code as OOP to provide some ease of use and readability.
For the most part you should avoid using global the easiest way to do this is to use class attributes instead. This allows for you to have a variable that can be seen by any method within the class.
Some helpful tips:
Do not import tkinter twice.
Instead of doing:
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox as box

Do this instead:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox

Your Try/Except function will not work as you expect as Eng_window.destroy() will not return an error regardless of if the window is there or not. So it will always attempt to destroy Eng_window and never window
Instead do this:
# This will check if the instance of Eng_self_window exist first.
if tk.Toplevel.winfo_exists(self.Eng_self_window):
    self.Eng_self_window.destroy()
else:
    self.window.destroy()

Let me know if you have any questions on the class set up.
It can be done using global's but its not as clean and harder to deal with.
Here I have moved your code into a class and rearranged some stuff.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox

        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)

Word of the Day: Hate Bone
Hate Bone (hayt bohn) noun. The part of the human skeleton that allows people to feel and express the glorious fullness of hatred.
Usage example: Thanks to my Hate Bone, I'm filled with rage and contempt every time a homosexual tries to bring his gayness on me And by "bringing his gayness on me" I of course mean "minding his own business and living his life."
Word History: The word was coined by Tim Hardaway during an interview with ESPN's Scoop Jackson. In an attempt to convince the world that he doesn't really hate gay people -- as he adamantly declared last week -- Hardaway said, "I don't have a hate bone in my body." ESPN had several orthapedic specialists on hand to confirm this bold statement. After putting Hardaway through a series of X-rays, MRIs, and invasive anal probes, it was conclusively proven that the Hate Bone (pictured below) is not present in Hardaway's body. Furthermore, after the anal probes Hardaway was forced to concede that "Maybe those gay dudes are onto sumthin'. Damn!"
The Hate Bone's connected to the...TERROR BONE.
Ga(y)ngtastic Extra: During Hardaway's "I don't hate gay people" interview, Scoop presented Hardaway with a terrifying hypothetical scenario:
Scoop Jackson: "Let's get to a real situation: li'l Timmy is 14 now. How do you handle it if he comes home from school or, better yet, you get a call from a hospital that says that he's been beaten by a group of gay kids in reaction to what you said about them?"
Tim Hardaway: "That's wrong."
Uhm...what?! I forgot to renew my subscription to the Homosexual Times, so I don't really keep up on gay news anymore. But I'm pretty sure I would have heard about roving gangs of homosexual teenagers who beat up the children of the straight people who hate them. If that actually happened, the southern half of the country would be a war zone. A tasteful, rainbow-colored, dance-themed war zone...but a war zone nonetheless. How could Scoop Jackson possibly call that a "real situation" and keep a straight face? I'm telling you, he was trying to bait Tim Hardaway into saying something else stupid. And in that case, shame on you Scoop Jackson. There are better ways to get your Pulizter Prize.

A band of walkers completed a 45-mile hike from the masonic hall at Constitution Hill, Wellington, to the masonic hall at Brand Lane, Ludlow, in Shropshire, in two 10-hour journeys.
Deputy Provincial Grand Master Roger Pemberton, who had been on the walk, later travelled back to Ludlow for a meeting of the Lodge of the Marches, No. 611, where he received a cheque for £5,000 for the 2019 Festival Appeal in aid of The Freemasons' Grand Charity, now part of the Masonic Charitable Foundation.
What makes it more extraordinary is that one of those new masons was only 20 years old.
Could the future of Freemasonry be blossoming in this corner of England?
It has been an impressive first 12 months for The Iron Bridge Lodge, No. 9897, which is named after a local landmark and created specifically to cater to the preferences of younger masons. In January 2015, The Iron Bridge Lodge became the 34th lodge to be consecrated in Shropshire and the first new lodge anywhere to join the Universities Scheme.
Launched in 2005, the scheme was created to attract students into Freemasonry, an idea inspired by the existing lodges at Oxford and Cambridge. While The Iron Bridge Lodge is not affiliated with any university, it welcomes all students to join its meetings.
One of The Iron Bridge Lodge's new masons is student Tom Perring, 28, who says he has been 'interested in Freemasonry for as long as I can remember' – an interest nurtured by reading copies of Freemasonry Today donated to him by an elderly mason. Tom explored various options until he heard about The Iron Bridge Lodge being set up.
Embracing social media is just one way that The Iron Bridge Lodge is trying to appeal to a younger generation. When Shropshire's Deputy Provincial Grand Master Roger Pemberton found that 27 per cent of new masons in his Province resigned within five years, he knew that making changes to recruit and retain young masons was key, but wanted to do so without diminishing the gravitas of the ceremony.
Roger was among those trying to find a way to marry the procedures of Freemasonry with the responsibilities of contemporary life. 'We want to make Freemasonry attractive to young men and students in Shropshire, and one way to do that is to make it possible for them to be there,' he explains.
Lodges traditionally meet at 5pm, when many people are still at work or looking after children. 'We therefore start at 7pm and finish by 9.45pm so people can get home at a reasonable hour. We've also made it a more attractive, simpler ceremony,' says Roger.
Proceedings have been streamlined by circulating reports and minutes by email before the meeting, rather than reading them out. A buffet-style Festive Board has also replaced formal meals. This is more relaxed and provides an opportunity for masons to socialise.
The founders visited three Universities Scheme lodges in Leicester, Oxford and Nottingham to see how they operated, and contacted others via Twitter and Facebook. The results have been impressive. The Iron Bridge Lodge had 70-odd attendees at each meeting in 2015 and initiated seven new masons, some attracted by social media.
The Iron Bridge Lodge was the first Shropshire lodge on Twitter, with its young members eagerly sharing information with their friends. 'It puts it out there, the good we do, and that sparks an interest and shows this is a vibrant lodge,' says Andy.
The younger masons have also brought ideas of their own and new members into the fold.
Tom is a fine arts student with an interest in film, so he's made reels for the lodge and plans to make another for the Universities Scheme. He feels Freemasonry has much to offer men of his generation: 'Society is very fast and unstable; Freemasonry offers a strong, decent core that can help people,' he says.
Tom is just one of the new recruits who will take Freemasonry forward. Harvey Greatrex is a 21-year-old student who discovered The Iron Bridge Lodge via the website. He is looking forward to finding out more about the Craft and its values. 'Some of the older masons tell us that we are still going to be in Freemasonry in 20 years,' he says.
The Sheldon Ward at the Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital looks after elderly patients who have recently undergone surgical procedures and who need a little time in rehabilitation before they are ready to return to their homes. Occasionally patients are admitted who are suffering from vascular and other forms of dementia which severely impair their cognitive faculties.
Sister Jackie Barry and her team were anxious to make a corner of Sheldon Ward more amenable and less clinical in order to assist elderly patients with severe memory loss by providing a comfortable, homely atmosphere with a real fireplace, pictures on the wall and a 'memory trunk' filled with memory aids to help them join past and present.
Sister Barry knew that patients with dementia were less likely to be confused and disoriented in an environment that reminded them of home, thus speeding the rehabilitation process. The problem was that she didn't have the money to accomplish her dream.
On 19th December 2014, the President of the Shropshire Masonic Charitable Association, W Bro John Williamson cut the ribbon at the official opening. Present on the occasion were Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Peter Taylor and Deputy Provincial Grand Master, VW Bro Roger Pemberton as well many representatives of the staff and patient support groups of the hospital.
Each year on the first Saturday in June, the Friends of RMBI care home Queen Elizabeth Court at Llandudno host a summer fete to raise money for the benefit of the residents. Every seventh year, the Province of Shropshire gives North Wales a well deserved sabbatical by taking on the responsibility of arranging the day. 2013 was just such a sabbatical year and Shropshire had been well prepared.
The Shropshire Steering Committee headed by Simon Aucott, the Provincial Grand Charity Steward, employed a number of initiatives to raise money within the Province. There were competitions, raffles, donations and ticket sales... and then some bright spark suggested a sponsored walk from Shrewsbury to Llandudno.
As the crow flies it's not that far, but via the Severn Way, Offa's Dyke Path and the North Wales Coastal Path it turned out to be just short of one hundred and twenty miles of up, down and up again.
The walk was advertised as a five-day stroll with the Deputy Provincial Grand Master. That turned out to be something of a misstatement – it was more like a five-day yomp through rain and mist, up mountain and down dale. Seven men and three dogs left Freemasons' Hall in Shrewsbury on the Bank Holiday Monday to walk the twenty two miles to Four Crosses, near Welshpool. There, in the pouring rain, we bid goodbye to the Provincial Grand Master who had walked the first day with us.
Day Two saw us hit the Offa's Dyke Trail, through the hills above Oswestry to finish in a very damp Ceiriog Valley. On the third day we were fortunate to have sunshine for the first half of our walk through the beautiful Vale of Llangollen, finishing in Ruthin. The penultimate day was spent climbing the mist-shrouded Moels (Bare Hills) of the Clwydian Range and finishing at Rhuddlan.
Our final twenty miles from Rhuddlan to Queen Elizabeth Court were completed at a sprightly pace along the North Wales coastal path from Rhyl. For the last leg, with most of us on our last legs, we were joined by blind W Bro Clive Jones who walked the entire distance. W Bro John Yarwood, who started at the same time as the main party, completed the walk in just four days!
Now that very nearly all of the pledged money is in, it looks as though our walk has raised just under £6,500 towards the magnificent total of £50,000 presented to the Chairman of the Friends of Queen Elizabeth Court at a celebratory dinner at St George's Hotel on the evening of the fete. A sizeable proportion of this was raised by Melvin Gough, a retired surveyor who, after 120 or so miles, surveyed Llandudno with relief and announced his retirement from charity hill walking!
Walkers were: Kim March, Roger Pemberton with Callie the Springer Spaniel, Mike Pemberton, Myles Pemberton with Ben the Springer Spaniel, Melvin Gough, John Yarwood and terrier. On the first day, Peter Taylor was among the group of 'support walkers' and on the last day, Clive Jones.
Would we do it again? Yes of course we would!

Berrys announce the establishment of the ULM Opportunity Fund
ULM Office of Marketing and Communications
On his first day as president of the University of Louisiana Monroe, Ronald Berry, joined by his wife, Christine Berry, will hold a press conference to announce their establishment of the ULM Opportunity Fund, to be administered by the ULM Foundation.
The event will be at 10 a.m. Monday at The Terrace on the seventh floor of the ULM Library and streamed live on the ULM YouTube channel, http://bit.ly/ULMLive0914.
The Berrys started the fund with a personal commitment of $100,000, with the original goal of matching that amount through alumni, community and business support.
When President Berry came to his office last Tuesday, there was a check for $100,000 on his desk with a note stating, "I hope this donation helps get your Presidency started in the right direction."
"This very generous and thoughtful gift allowed us to reach our goal before the fund was even announced," he said. "So, we decided to reach even higher and quadruple the amount to a new goal of $400,000."

Designed with limited conditions, the fund can assist students, faculty and staff in many ways, from emergency circumstances to special projects.
"It will be a flexible fund to support a wide variety of activities. We want to remove obstacles for people pursuing life changing opportunities," said President Berry.
Examples of potential funding include:
Programs that improve diversity, equity and inclusion
Tuition assistance and support for staff or faculty members pursuing graduate work or academic career advancement
Development of leadership programs for faculty, staff and students


Between 5.8 million and 7.5 million people live with the skin disease psoriasis, yet almost half with moderate to severe cases are not getting treatment and others are receiving out-of-date treatment. Why? Because the condition is still widely misunderstood—people who live with it can be subject to prejudice and discrimination—and treatments have not been very good until now.
Psoriasis is an often painful and itchy chronic skin condition that produces red, inflamed patches on the skin. The patches, which are not contagious, are usually covered with a white buildup of dead skin cells. Scientists are not sure what causes it, but they do know that psoriasis involves a genetic dysfunction that triggers an inappropriate immune response, leading to the rapid production of new skin cells.
There are five types of psoriasis: plaque (the most common form), guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic. Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body and up to 30% of people with psoriasis will develop psoriatic arthritis, a painful condition in which joints are inflamed and stiff.
"Psoriasis is largely an inherited condition, but it involves multiple genes and possibly some environmental factors to bring the disease on," says Dr. Feldman. Common triggers include stress; skin trauma, such as sunburn or wounds; some medications, including antimalarial drugs; and, in the case of guttate psoriasis, strep infection.
Because psoriasis manifests itself on the skin, living with it can have a profound psychological impact. Some people with mild cases may be able to cover up or successfully control outbreaks so that they are not obvious to other people. Those with more severe psoriasis are subject to the sometimes-ignorant reactions of others. In many ways, this can be the hardest thing about living with psoriasis.
Its important for psoriasis patients to find the support and treatment they need so they can control their psoriasis as well as possible and can live as comfortably—emotionally and physically—as possible.
This guide to psoriasis will explain how to get the right diagnosis, find the best care, learn about the new and highly effective treatments, seek out support, and learn to live a healthier and happier life with psoriasis.

EastEnders star Charlie Brooks hints ruthless Janine could return as exit looms
Laura Denby
7 December 2022, 5:41 am ·3-min read
Janine is set for an explosive EastEnders exit. (BBC)
Another explosive EastEnders exit is on the way for scheming Janine Butcher, but star Charlie Brooks is already teasing that she could be back one day.
Her latest storyline has seen her use underhanded tactics to secure an engagement to Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), who has no idea of the vicious lengths Janine has gone to in order to win him over.
She's made it her mission to destroy Mick's ex-wife, Linda (Kellie Bright), and it led to the soulmates being torn apart. But viewers know that Mick still loves Linda, and his heart isn't truly with pregnant Janine.

With Mick due to be written out around the same time, Janine's final scenes have now been confirmed to air on Boxing Day.
Speaking about what could become of her character, Brooks says: "I always say, 'Never say never'. EastEnders is home to me, and I've had a fantastic time, so I'd be open to a return for sure."
Janine has fooled Mick with trickery and lies. (BBC)
Asked about her decision to step away from her alter ego once more, the actor adds: "I've had the best year and a half getting back into Janine's shoes.
"She's so fun to play, but I also love playing all the vulnerable stuff with Janine as well. I'm an actress, so I want to do everything. But, yeah, it is hard.
Brooks reveals that she wanted to bow out before Janine's antics exhausted the character. "I also feel like if she was to stay in the show, the character might not be as strong somehow.

"I wouldn't want her to be diluted because she is so full-on, she's so dramatic, but I always feel like there's more to know, which is a really good place to be with a character. If something feels quite layered, quite complex, it always stays interesting and luckily for me, Janine has remained that way."

Viewers will have to wait a little longer to find out if and how Janine's lies will be exposed. But Brooks tells us that, contrary to her character's rivalry with Linda, she and co-star Bright get on brilliantly; and she's loved working with Dyer too.
How will pregnant Janine bow out? (BBC)
"The two of us and Kellie have laughed and laughed over the last year and a half. It's been fantastic. We've all just enjoyed working together so much. It's been fun.
"I think we have brought out different sides of each other's characters, and that's kept it interesting for all of us. That's been really fun to play with."
Brooks loves that her alter ego is so layered and complex. (BBC)
Pondering whether she thinks Janine should get her man, she acknowledges that fans are firmly against this outcome. "I want to see them run off into the sunset together, but I think the audience might hate me if they do!"

"I like the idea that Janine brings out a different side in Mick, sometimes a little bit of a darker side, because he has been walked over by Linda. Janine is one of those chaotic, crazy, slightly infectious, both in a good and bad way, people. And I've loved playing that part of their relationship as well."
EastEnders airs Janine's final scenes on Boxing Day.

Immuvex Tinted SPF 31 mineral sunscreen is a micronized preparation of natural zinc oxide that is slightly tinted (several different shades) for especially elegant cosmesis. Zinc oxide is the most effective and safest of all sunscreen ingredients. It is chemical free, natural and not absorbed in the body (as compared with chemical sunscreen agents). It is a more effective blocker than titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide blocks out virtually all of the harmful wavelengths of both UVA (320 – 400 nm) and UVB (290 – 320 nm). Zinc oxide prevents UV-induced DNA damage to skin cells, protects the local immune system of the skin and also helps prevent wrinkles by preventing UVA-induced up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinases. Mineral sunscreens are water resistant and don't break down with UV exposure but should still be reapplied every several hours.

Purple Gold
By Désirée Zamorano
EARLY ON in Frances Dinkelspiel's Tangled Vines: Greed, Murder, Obsession, and an Arsonist in the Vineyards of California, Mark Anderson says that, when drinking a fine rare vintage, he would wonder about the people who had "lovingly coaxed the grapes to maturity and transformed them into wine." He called fine wine "bottled sunshine, the sweet juice of a small star."
This poetic sentiment comes from the man accused of destroying a quarter of billion dollars' worth of fine wines: the largest wine arson case in history.
From its explosive prologue to the very last sentence, Frances Dinkelspiel has written an utterly riveting true crime book. Investigating the infamous 2005 fire set in the Wines Central warehouse, an extensive wine storage facility in Vallejo, Tangled Vines spans centuries and tackles multiple storylines: the history of the wine industry in California; the impact of the fiery destruction on the winemakers and wine workers; and the motivation of Mark Anderson, the man who did it.
In the present, the author shares the days in the lives of people — vintners, wine lovers — impacted by the most massive destruction of wine in history, while circling the elusive Mark Anderson, tracing his steps, attempting to discover what drove him to this colossal damage. He obliterated a mind-boggling $250 million dollars' worth of wines, a figure which does not begin to include the financial impact on the lives of the small wineries and wine makers shattered by this devastation.
When we meet Mark we are struck by his self-absorption and bottomless capacity for denial, only partially obscured by his attempts at camouflaging himself in wine erudition. It is clearly a strategy that worked. Filled with bravado and probably spurious tales of his life on this continent and abroad, Mark Anderson leveraged his love for sushi at the popular Sushi Ran Sausalito restaurant into a columnist gig for Sausalito's The Signal, and later a Marin paper. Apparently an affable and personable raconteur, he charmed many people, and as he opened his own wine storage facility with declarations of exaggerated innovations, people, evidently beguiled, took his claims at face value.
An older vine the author attempts to untangle is the creation of the California wine industry itself. It starts with the Spanish missionaries, using the slave labors of the indigenous, and the conquerors who were thirsty for sacramental and daily wine. The plantings flourished particularly well near the Mission San Gabriel in southern California. In Rancho Cucamonga, Tiburcio Tapia, the grantee of its 13,000 acres, was the first to plant grapes. We see Rancho Cucamonga in southern California grow into the heart of the industry, when "purple" gold rivaled the gold mined and panned for, by men seeking their fortune. We follow these vines to a savvy southern sympathizer, John Rains, as he marries Maria Merced Williams, and into the family that now owns these lands. Dinkelspiel vividly recreates this past world, and in the telling reminds us of the multiple crimes committed against the Native populations, the greed of the conquerors, as well as their unexpected violence. Later, as a successful businessman and winemaker, Rains sets off on a customary trip to Los Angeles. When his body is found 11 days later it sparks anti-Californio sentiments, fraud, land swindles, and a lynching. Dinkelspiel has us holding our breath for the widow, and for the murder investigation that continues on.
Dinkelspiel has a captivating personal connection that serves as the device which links the birth of the wine industry in Cucamonga Vineyards to the horrific arson in 2005: the possession of a few bottles of 1875 Port and Angelica wine. The grapes were grown and bottled in the Cucamonga Vineyards, then owned by her great-great grandfather, Isaias Hellman (of whom she has written extensively, in Towers of Gold). As far back as 1847 the wine was described as "a most delicious cordial […] and if the Olympian gods could get a drop of it, they would soon vote nectar a bore." Her cousin Miranda Heller was in the process of having her own 175 bottles of the vintage wine appraised; they were temporarily stored in the Wines Central facility. This huge warehouse, a former naval bunker, was massive, with walls three feet thick thought to withstand a monumental earthquake. The 2005 fire in Vallejo destroyed all of her 175 bottles of 1875 Port and Angelica — 175 bottles among the 4.5 million.
While we wonder and wait for the unraveling of what drove Anderson to this deed, and ponder the fate of the widow Maria Merced Williams de Rains, Dinkelspiel takes deliciously engaging detours into past and present day fraud and theft of high-end vintages, as well as enjoyably voyeuristic forays into even higher-end lifestyles. Along the way we learn about the controversy over Fred Franzia — he of Two Buck Chuck fame — and his sentencing for Zinfandel fraud; we see a Koch brother spend a fortune to expose a wine scam. We meet a man who monthly spent one million dollars on wine. We savor the details of Raymond Vineyard's wine bacchanal, and we learn about kooky rich people who pay for the privilege of toiling in the vineyard like, well, a field hand.
You may consider the arson and think, "Ah, rich people's problems." But winemaker Ted Hall called the arson "a crime against families: those that owned the businesses and many everyday working men and women who helped us produce these irreparable wines […] The fruit of our hands and of our hearts is irretrievably gone, like a piece of fine art trashed by a barbarian sacking the city." Dinkelspiel, a gifted historian, researcher, and storyteller, connects us to those emotions of working people, in the past and in the present, in a manner that is both seamless and page-turning.
(One does not need to be a wine drinker, expert, connoisseur, or snob to enjoy this fascinating exploration of the crimes involving wine, but it is impossible to read it without craving a glass and an open bottle nearby.)
We once bought a bottle of '97 Brunello di Montalcino. It was our most expensive wine purchase, to that date, and we squirrelled it away for an appropriate occasion. Ten years later the occasion had arrived. At the shared feast our friend swirled his wine, closed his eyes, and inhaled. He set the glass down, his eyes sparkling; he picked it up and sipped. His eyes still alight, he talked about the hills of Italy, the kind of grape this was, and how perfectly it embodied all of what a Montalcino should be. We drank and ate and drank some more.
Unlike my friend and the wine collectors in Tangled Vines, I cannot taste "the earth, the sun, the sky, and the steady hand of the winemaker in that glass." But I know a spectacular book when I read one.

A 48-year-old Filipina was killed after being stabbed in Japan on Thursday evening, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has reported.
According to the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo, the unidentified victim "succumbed to her injuries" at a hospital in Hamamatsu, Japan on Friday.
The DFA did not release additional information on the incident. The identity of the suspect was also not given.
Laurel added that the suspect is now under custody by the Japanese police.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Locsin Jr. confirmed that the suspect is now under custody by authorities in Japan.
"The suspect is now in the inexorable perfect Japanese criminal justice system and may God have mercy on his soul because his body is now in the custody of the most efficient state in the world along with Singapore," Locsin posted in Twitter on Saturday.


Marley consists of part heathland and part mature woodland. The heathland to the south is on the highest parts of Marley but, almost entirely enclosed by woodland, it is far less exposed than Hindhead Common or Black Down. Like the other commons, as grazing died out, so the landscape became over-run by scrub woodland. However, drastic work to restore the main heathland area in 2007 and 2008, followed by the introduction of a small herd of Belted Galloway cattle to keep the scrub at bay has successfully re-established an open landscape of heather, gorse and bilberry with scattered pine, birch and beech trees.
Marley Wood on the slopes to the north boasts mature pine and some magnificent beech along old boundary banks with a productive area of chestnut coppice. The coppice is managed on the traditional 20-year felling rotation cycle and provides both the Black Down estate and National Trust properties all over the country with fencing posts.
By road: Access to Marley Common is via Marley Lane which runs from Camelsdale (near Shottermill Ponds) to Kingsley Green on the A286 south of Haslemere.
Park in the free National Trust car park on Marley Lane, map ref SU887312.
The open heathland is particularly fine in late summer as the purple flowering heather gives way to the brilliance of the Rowan berries on the Mountain Ash. The mature, mostly pine woodland has some magnificent beech along a wide avenue leading down to Camelsdale and a fine plantation of Hemlock on the escarpment over Marley Combe Road.
The Green Hairstreak butterfly which likes to lay its eggs on the plentiful new gorse shoots is often seen on Marley Common which also boasts a well-established colony of lovely yellow Brimstone butterflies. In spring, the gorse flowers fill the air with a wonderful fragrance of a coconut-like scent.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The marching orders from West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis, as a team of city officials, business owners and county planners started mapping out a plan for the city's downtown, was that he had no interest in seeing the phrase "the Levee," anymore.
"Of course, we'd all heard his spiel before," said Ryan O'Gara, assistant director of the Tippecanoe County Area Plan Commission.
The thumbnail version of Dennis' philosophy, which usually includes an anecdote or two about his days as a patrol partner with Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski during their previous careers with the Lafayette Police Department, goes something like this:
West Lafayette's vision for a downtown renaissance isn't limited to the top of the State Street hill, in the Village area and the blocks closest to Purdue University's campus. Dennis says, every chance he gets, that he wants a seamless transition between West Lafayette and Lafayette's downtowns.

That, Dennis said, means branding the Levee area – the shopping district between the Wabash River and River Road, developed over the decades in strip mall fashion – as a downtown district. Starting with the West Lafayette downtown plan, which dropped in draft form in December.
"Ten or 15 years from now, the hope would be that both side of the river has these great riverfront developments," Dennis said this week. "We'd be closer to being this one, big metropolis instead of our side/your side. That's what we're methodically working toward."
Among the ideas in a proposed West Lafayette Downtown Plan is eventually platting a street grid where Levee Plaza and surrounding businesses are now. (Photo: Dave Bangert/Journal & Courier)
Methodical is key here. O'Gara said his office posted a draft in December just to get some conversation going on a plan that attempts to layout which blocks in the Village and the Levee – or, the Wabash River Downtown District – would be best for tall, high-density projects and which ones weren't.
The plan is expected to go to the Area Plan Commission and then to the West Lafayette City Council for public review later in 2019.
O'Gara said the 82-page report, in a lot of ways, signs off on much that has been happening with near-campus development in the past decade and since West Lafayette and Purdue combined on a $120 million rethinking and reconstruction of State Street and traffic patterns around campus.
The plan also goes all-in on some suggestions that could remake the look and feel of West Lafayette's expanded downtown.
"These master planning efforts really are the places for people to throw out these big ideas," O'Gara said. "And many people will look at them and say, 'Well, that'll cost a zillion dollars.' Well, of course. Any major infrastructure project is going to cost a lot of money. And we're not going to do it tomorrow. But over the course of two generations? Yeah, we might be able to pull some of this stuff off."
Peter Bunder, West Lafayette City Council's president, is on the 20-member steering committee for the downtown plan.
"I think it's a great time for us to take a look at what we want to see happen, rather than doing it piecemeal," Bunder said. "I'd love to see a lot what's (in the plan) happen, doing what we can to be this gateway to Purdue, rather than seeing West Lafayette and Lafayette seem like they're separated by a moat."
Here are some of the bigger ideas in the downtown plan, so far.
NEW STREET GRIDS IN THE LEVEE
During 2018 – as a second hotel near the Hampton Inn near Tapawingo Drive and State Street was contemplated and another set of developers eyed a relatively small tract near Levee Plaza – O'Gara said planners started sharing with developers what it might mean to meld West Lafayette's downtown with Lafayette's downtown.
"In other words, if we're going to say, 'Let's go full downtown,' what would that look like?" O'Gara said. "This was the place to have a discussion about, how do you create an urban street grid that imitates what's already been long developed in Chauncey Village and in downtown Lafayette? We're trying to connect these two downtowns, and the Levee is the place to do it."
The downtown plan draft discusses converting the Levee area – between the Wabash River and River Road – from the suburban, strip mall feel it has now to a system of streets that give more of a downtown feel.
What would that mean for the businesses and everything north of Brown Street, which runs behind the Wabash Landing retail and housing development?
The map drawn in the plan shows streets dicing the Levee Plaza strip mall and cutting right through, for example, Bruno's, an iconic West Lafayette restaurant that already moved once, two decades ago, to make way for a new River Road and State Street intersection.
Patty Weida, an owner of Levee Plaza, and Bruno Itin, an owner of Bruno's, are on the steering committee for the new West Lafayette downtown plan. Weida wasn't immediately available for comment this week. Itin said he hadn't had a chance to look at the plan closely.
"But you know I'm looking forward to find out," Itin said. "I look out my window (at Bruno's) every day and see those skyscrapers going up and think, 'What's happening?' So much is changing in West Lafayette."
O'Gara urged caution against thinking the streets drawn in the draft plan were set in stone – "More arbitrary, at this point, to show this bigger idea," he said – or that the plan encouraged the city to go after properties through condemnation and eminent domain to make a grid of streets happen.

"You would want this to happen slowly and organically," O'Gara said. "There's no imperative to do this without everyone's cooperation. The decisions to make this happen will be up to the property owners, in my opinion. … This is just saying that if and when properties change hands and people want to redevelop there, we know what we might want to do."
Bunder called the grid street layout "intriguing."
"It makes us a bigger city, right off," Bunder said.
A HARRISON BRIDGE ROUNDABOUT … OR TWO
Imagine this: Instead of the spaghetti bowl of off-ramps, on-ramps and merge lanes that tie Harrison Bridge to North River Road, how about a roundabout right on the bridge?
The plan, which calls River Road's interchange with Harrison Bridge "a major obstacle to creating a more pedestrian-oriented downtown environment for West Lafayette," comes with two scenarios.
Among the ideas in a proposed West Lafayette Downtown Plan is building a roundabout in the middle of Harrison Bridge to eliminate the on-ramps and off-ramps at North River Road. (Photo: Dave Bangert/Journal & Courier)
Scenario No. 1: This would put a roundabout approximately where the cluster of on-ramps and off-ramps are now, just east of where Harrison Bridge crosses River Road. That idea would keep the clover leaf north of Harrison Bridge. But it would get rid of the on-ramp heading toward Lafayette. That, the plan speculates, would open a chunk of land south of the bridge and east of River Road for development.
Scenario No. 2: Here's where it gets really interesting. This one would have a roundabout … right where Harrison Bridge meets River Road.
Again … no, really.
Bangert: Did West Lafayette's State St. 'growing pains' kill this Wabash Landing shop?
Bangert: More tales of the long, lost haunts near Purdue
Bangert: $4.7M for key WL Village corner near Purdue
In this case, River Road would be raised and the grade of Fowler and Wiggins streets – the one-way West Lafayette streets feeding in and out of Harrison Bridge – would be lowered to a point where they met at a roundabout. That would eliminate the on- and off-ramps on the bridge today, clearing that ground north and south of Harrison Bridge for possible development.
"It's a bit out of the box," O'Gara said. "But it could work. And if definitely would change that part of West Lafayette."
OF HISTORIC PROPORTIONS
One of the assurances from Erik Carlson, West Lafayette's development director, has been that West Lafayette wants to save historic buildings in the Village area and iconic business – think Harry's Chocolate Shop, Von's Books, Bruno's or the Triple XXX Family Restaurant – as cranes continue to lift steel for high-rise projects a few blocks from Purdue's campus.
The West Lafayette downtown plan calls on the city to make the Village a historic district, the way it did with New Chauncey Neighborhood nearly a mile to the north.
The plan also anticipates what could happen if new projects overwhelm bits of history – the Miller Building at Northwestern Avenue and South Street, for example, or the Louis Sullivan-designed "Jewel Box" bank building at State Street and Northwestern – with outsized dimensions.
Construction continued on Friday for Rise at Chauncey, a 16-story retail/residential project at the corner of State Street and Chauncey Avenue. Rise at Chauncey is one of three buildings that are 10 or more stories started in the past two years in West Lafayette's downtown. (Photo: Dave Bangert/Journal & Courier)
"The sheer mass of the new 10-story building clearly overwhelms the historic building in the eyes of a typical passerby, diminishing the historic building's former prominence," the draft plan says. "Over time, historic buildings in situations like these steadily appear more out of place in their own urban context until eventually calls arise to bring them down in favor of a development pattern more to scale with newer development."
The plan calls for a "stair-stepping" way to maintain historic buildings. A new development would be allowed to be twice the height of a neighboring historic building, for the street-side width of that historic building. The rest of the new development could go taller than that.
"This is a nod to what people have traditionally thought about West Lafayette's downtown, without making it impossible to build," O'Gara said.
OTHER IDEAS IN THE PLAN
The draft West Lafayette downtown plan makes more than 50 other suggestions, including:
► A redesign of the Wabash Landing shopping center so it's taller and brings it closer to State Street.
► Support the development of a variety of housing to appeal to non-student groups.
► Make the addition of public art to all negotiations for planned developments in the downtown and add public art to prominent gateway intersections.
► Increase parking fines throughout downtown so they keep up with or are more severe than Purdue's parking fine rates.
► Consider parking meters in the downtown's commercial areas for expanded short-term parking during business hours.
► Expand ride-sharing programs in the downtown.
► Create a pedestrian and bicyclist lighting plan.
"Is this all doable? Maybe not," Bunder said. "But if we hadn't already done State Street, and if we hadn't already annexed Purdue, and if we hadn't already done U.S. 231, maybe we'd be talking about these things taking two generations. Maybe now it's one generation away. It's maybe not as far away as you might think."

CORONA, Calif. (AP) - Riverside County authorities say two people were injured when a small airplane made an emergency landing and crashed in a field adjacent to Corona Municipal Airport.
The Press-Enterprise reports (https://bit.ly/2jx7XhU ) the single-engine plane took off Tuesday and immediately tried to return to the airport.
Corona Fire Department spokesman John Deyoe says rescuers extricated the plane's two occupants. They were hospitalized with moderate to severe injuries. Deyoe did not know whether the injuries were life-threatening.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer says the plane is a Harmon Rocket, an experimental aircraft built from a kit.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

I have just spent a week on the Scottish Island of Iona. It is a small spiritual place just off the south-western tip of Mull. The colours were so clear with the North wind blowing I was stunned by the range of blues of the sea from indigo to turquoise lapping against the white beaches.
On the hills and slopes amongst the wild rough grass grows bog-cotton or cotton grass as it is also known. The sheep don't eat it and its fluffy heads blowing in the wind caught my eye. I decided to see if it would felt in. I gathered some fleece from the fences and wild plants. There were white mule crosses and some zwartbles sheep. I had taken some basic felting bits with me, as you do! The bog-cotton (eriophorum angustifolium) felts in with a silky cream effect similar to silk.
I created some small pots with a combination of the white and brown fleece, some bluefaced Leicester curls and carded fleece I had brought with me.
I spent long hours combing the beaches for shells with natural holes in them. Some have been stitched on to the pots as you can see.
This range captures the wild and beautiful spirit of Iona. Each pot holds a small bean cowrie found on the beaches and brings with it a token of the spiritual mystery of Iona.
I found this wonderful felt picture at a car boot sale the other day. It's very detailed depiction of a grand tree. I've put it in my studio as a good source of inspiration. It's amazing what you can find when you're out.
I come from a background of teaching. During my time in London, I was teaching part time in adult education, special needs classes and family workshops covering a wide variety of textile subjects from dress making to knitting and crochet. I loved teaching; helping others to be creative, watching the sense of achievement mastering a skill and then the glowing with pride at the result. I was teaching all levels and all ages from 5 to 85 year olds. There is something fundamentally nurturing in creating: the process of creation as important as the end result. The quality of the work differed with ability, but the sense of self-worth fed by the achievement and creative process was present in everyone.
During this time I also started to run my father's educational charity, Kairos. Through Kairos and its main teaching core of geometry I appreciated even more the natural world surrounding me. Nature is wonderful inspiration, from the colours on the pebbles and spirals on the shells on the beaches, to the colours and shapes of the trees, leaves and flowers. I love the flowers: their wonderful array of colours, shapes and colour combinations are a huge influence on my creativity. I have a large garden and enjoy growing many different ones; our youngest daughter and I counted 54 different roses in our garden!
To me, that philosophy and way of looking at the world cannot be separated from my own way of looking at it. There is a deep respect and reverence for all natural creations. I still stop and gaze with wonder at the colours of the sunset for instance, or point out a beautifully shaped tree standing alone in a field, or marvel at the delicate patterns on a shell or mushroom found on a walk. All of these things influence us, if we care to look and observe; all around us is this limitless source of artistic inspiration.
Felted creations take up a large amount of the items I make. A couple of years ago I was asked to join a project helping to regenerate the textiles in Burnley, Lancashire with the aim of helping a group of the community to make marketable felt products. I had not made felt before but did have the necessary experience of making the products they wanted. To do the job properly I did a crash course on making felt fabric and then felted every minute I could to understand the textile enough to teach with it. I have not looked back.
To learn more I have just completed a course on fibrecraft with Gill Burbidge of Bicton College. We learnt about the finer 'nuno' and network felt and acid dying. When Gill showed us how to make 3D felt flowers I had to make a flower I thought would represent the flowers I love in my garden and the orchids I have in the house. These make beautiful corsages and go very well with the felt scarves I am making. Gill reintroduced me to natural dying and it has been a joy to colour my own fibres and fabric with basic things like onion skins, beetroot, eucalyptus leaves and walnut leaves. I now have a new collection of natural dyed scarves, fine felt pots and felt fabric purses and handbags.
I have only recently come to felt, relatively speaking, but I love it. Mixing the colours, creating texture and combining woven fabric with a mixture of fibres; it all excites me. I love being able to create my own fabric to use. A member of the International Felt-makers Association recently said to me felt-making should come with a warning as it can be addictive. Too late – I already am!

Australia's Lightforce has long been known as one of the kings in auxiliary vehicular lighting. They offer up superior LED driving lights, and their round 140W LED Genesis 8.3-inch diameter model is no exception. Our 4×4 needed secondary lights for dedicated off-road use. We're constantly traversing uneven terrain at night (or in thick forests) and needed a powerful light source to help guide our way. Since the Genesis was a newer model on the market, and the dimensions and lumen output were close to what we're looking for, we decided to give them a try.
Genesis lights embellish both sides of our 1992 right-hand-drive Mitsubishi Pajero's ARB front bumper, which has wiring allowances that made installation easier than projected. After installing the first light with a 17-millimeter socket wrench, we noticed an issue. The top of the powder-coated aluminum light housing was touching the bottom of the upper bull bar—that wouldn't work. Luckily, Lightforce designed the Genesis LED lights with reversible brackets and after a few quick minutes, the bottom bracket was reversed and the problem solved. Everything else installed seamlessly.
Since we live in the Pacific Northwest, we were pleased to find that Lightforce's plugs and sockets are waterproof, along with the meticulously constructed lights. The supplied hardware was also made from high-quality stainless steel, so corrosion and leaks won't be an issue.
Lightforce Genesis lights come with two switches: the first switch is an on/off, and the second changes the lights to a dim mode (similar to a daytime running light or DRL). The switches are solidly made, are an adequate size, and have a bright red LED light that turns on in the switch when the lights are on.
These oversized LED lights boast a projection of 1 lux output at up to 3,455 feet—which is more than half a mile. They illuminate the surroundings fabulously and have a very long beam spread to light pathways with intensity. The Genesis lights include 13,850 raw lumens (7,336 effective lumens) and are fully sealed with an IP69K waterproof rating (the best available), which provides protection against dust and high-temperature intrusion, as well as high temperature spray downs, grime, and mud.
The Genesis model is sold individually and comes with a reversible mounting bracket, clear spot filter, waterproof harness adaptor, and stainless steel mounting hardware. Our installation included the Genesis and Venom LED wiring harness kit, which is sold separately at $79. These lights come with clear spot filters, but light blue or yellow filters are options as well. Black covers (with the same signature Lightforce logo) are also available. Non-clear filters/covers are sold separately.
Over the last several months, our Lightforce Genesis LED driving lights have demonstrated excellent performance and have been a welcome addition to our Mitsubishi. We've taken them through driving rain, thick dust, mud, snow, and severe heat and they haven't shown any signs of wear. To us, they've proven their mettle and are worth the price. If you're in the market for high-quality, high-lumen LED auxiliary lights, be sure to check them out.


In 2017, the postgraduate entrance examination has been signed up for the first time by the graduate students. In July 19th, more than 3000 students gathered in Shandong hall in Ji'nan to attend the postgraduate entrance examination (course) training class, preparing for postgraduate entrance examination. China News Agency reporters Zhang Yong and new China Network Beijing October 10 (Lv Chunrong) today, 2017 national postgraduate entrance examination registration work officially launched. This graduate admission, including further standardize the single examination enrollment, "on-the-job graduate student" test into the unified examination and so on, many admissions policy changes worthy of candidates attention. 2017 postgraduate entrance examination began to sign up, according to the Ministry of education in September issued the "2017 national master's enrollment management regulations", 2017 national postgraduate entrance examination online registration time is from October 10, 2016 to October 31st, 9:00-22:00 per day. No longer bubao overdue, and shall not modify the registration information. In addition, the "Regulations" clearly 2017 national graduate entrance examination time for the first time: December 24, 2016 to December 25th (8:30-11:30 every morning, 14:00-17:00 p.m.), more than 3 hours of examination subjects in December 26th. Every year the number of candidates for postgraduate entrance examination has attracted much attention from the outside world. Beijing News reporter noted that in the past ten years, the number of applicants for the annual postgraduate entrance examination is above 1 million 200 thousand, reaching 1 million 770 thousand in 2016. Will the number of applicants for postgraduate exams increase? Public education in Postgraduate Research Institute president Li Lei told reporters that the current Chinese employment qualifications generally increased, bachelor degree of difficulty is low, want to stand out in the crowd, to further enhance the education become the choice of more people, so the number of applicants this year is expected to continue to break the. Enrollment policy changes: part of the examination subjects are adjusted, postgraduate entrance examination time is approaching, related topics have attracted much attention. In recent years, the graduate entrance examination reform deepening, the postgraduate examination and enrollment policy has three notable changes, are as follows: – 2017, clinical medical professional degree and academic degree of medical postgraduate business class debut test subjects were arranged, professional degree of clinical medicine "clinical comprehensive ability" (Chinese and Western medicine two class) exam subjects, medical academic degree in business class by the admissions unit as the first grade discipline independent proposition. At the same time, the adjustment admission stage, candidates for clinical medicine professional degree master candidates can be adjusted according to the relevant policies to other professions, candidates for other professions (including medical academic degrees) candidates can not be transferred to clinical medicine professional degree. To further improve the college students enlisted preferential policies to encourage more qualified college students joined the army in 2017 to arrange 5000 "retired soldier college students" special plan, university enrollment increased by 39 over last year, and further defined the conditions apply. In order to further standardize the individual examination and enrollment, it is clear that the enrollment unit shall not limit the scope of the individual examination students according to the unit, the industry, the region and so on, nor shall they set up other discriminatory conditions. Cancel the national exam postgraduate examination into the examination enrollment policy changes in,.

Is Russian Imperialism in Syria, with its Vast Human Toll, a Vanity Project for Vladimir Putin?
Middle East Monitor 01/11/2020
Radwan Zyada | –
(Middle East Monitor) – Russian President Putin made a surprise visit to Damascus [on January 7], during which he met Bashar Al-Assad, not at the Rawda Palace or the People's Palace, where the latter customarily receives his guests, but rather at the headquarters of the Russian forces in Damascus. This is not the first time that Russian President Putin has insulted his Syrian counterpart. There was a famous incident at the Khmeimim Air Base, the video of which was widely circulated on social media platforms when the Russian President Putin's soldiers stopped Bashar al-Assad from following Putin onto the stage to make an announcement. This was a source of great ridicule.
I believe that President Putin does this not only with the intention of mockery or disrespect but also, in part, to send a key message to Assad that Russian is the eminence grise of political decision making in Syria. Therefore, Putin has never publically defended Bashar Al-Assad, as he knows that his political actions cannot be defended. He always focuses on the Western exploitation of the Syrian issue.
While the Syrian regime presents Assad as the president for life, Russian policy focuses more on Assad's restoration for a transitional period. During this time, Russia could extract benefits post-war, not from poor and weak Syria, but the European Union, and if possible, from the United States.
Perhaps Putin realised the weakness of international interest today in Syria and the indifference and disregard with which the international community deals today with the Syrian bloodshed in Idlib and other cities in the north of Syria. This is because there is no strategic purpose for what is happening there. If the matter is arranged with Turkey, which is still opposed to a significant military operation In Idlib, hundreds, even thousands, can be killed there, in exchange for Idlib being restored to impose Assad's sovereignty over it. The United States has no firm stance against the operation, and as usual, the European Union is busy with never-ending internal issues, and Brexit.
They also do not have a unified foreign policy they can impose, let alone implement in Syria, neither now nor in the future. This has frustrated Putin, who expected to be rewarded for his actions in Syria. It then defeated Erdogan, who assumed the world would reward him for his decision to build a safe zone in Syria to return the refugees. Putin has discovered that Assad does not value Syrian independence as much as he is concerned with being named president of all of Syria, no matter the price. The price of this is the blood of hundreds of thousands of Syrians and the destruction of their cities and villages. There is no future for rebuilding Syria after all of this destruction, especially in light of the international community's disregard for what is happening in Syria.
In his report to the Security Council, the new UN special envoy expressed his pessimism about the efforts to amend the constitution in Syria, which completely contradicts his optimistic statements last month. Special Envoy Geir Pedersen told the Security Council in a video conversation, "I see no reason to convene another session of the small body." He also expressed "great frustration" over lack of progress, adding, "The constitutional committee is and will remain fragile." Pedersen did not reinvent the wheel. We all know that the fate of the constitutional committee will also end, as Al-Assad's regime did not show any desire for negotiations when it was in a much more difficult position in 2014 and 2015, so how will it make concessions today when it is high on victory.
So the question remains, since the first Russian veto that Putin used in the Security Council to protect Bashar al-Assad's regime in August 2011: What does Putin want from Syria? Walking in the streets of Damascus, he answered that he was proud of restoring safety to its streets. Still, he did not answer whether this safety was concealing poverty, hunger, displacement, and expulsion. None of this matters to Putin, as he is only concerned with the image and as long as his picture is being raised in Damascus, there is no value for anyone who raises it or glorifies it.

Part 2 is clever IMO.
The way it's being set up takes away some of the concerns of it being a sequel IMO.
Can't wait, will probably replay the original again at some point.
Yea I am glad they are doing it this way.
But still, I wish it was new characters. Oh well, hyped af.
Also, updated engine looks gorgeous.
What about it changes the fact that it is a sequel?

It doesn't change it's a sequel but the way it's being presented makes me feel better about it.
Part 2 makes it seem like it's a second part of the same story, to use an example Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 are vastly different and don't even feel like a continuation for parts of it.
Which is what my concern was, this feels differently. Obviously we will find out when the game comes out but i trust them.
Ah, now I get it. I agree in that case.
There was a secret panel at Playstation Experience for an unannounced game and now i understand why lol.
It was for The Last of Us: Part 2 lol.
Can't wait for MT to play the MP like it's cod again.

* The scene from the trailer was done over a year ago, meaning the game was in development before Naughty Dog put all their effort into finishing Uncharted 4.
The hate is thing is really interesting.
Also I read Ellie is the playable character this time? Not that surprising really.
The goat arc was when you played Ellie. Playing her is very much welcome.
ffs it's hard to choose one. Winter arc was definitely the most powerful.
It's a 10/10 game tbh. No debate around it.
Yep Winter Arc is the best part of the game IMO.
But that Giraffe scene tho ffs.
