As both cryptocurrency and blockchain technology become more and more mainstream, several projects are pioneering the push to incorporate this revolutionary tech into economies, markets, and industries worldwide. As international conglomerates, financial institutions, and national governments begin to incorporate blockchains, it is likely that this fusion will only grow.
One such cryptocurrency that has already seen adoption in a number of major industries is ICON (ICX), a South Korea-based project seeking to "hyperconnect the world". As of today, ICON's infrastructure is currently being used by a number of banks, hospitals, universities, insurance providers, and investment firms throughout South Korea.
ICX is a new project whose mainnet launched last week, on January 24. Until very recently, it remained largely unclear what exactly ICX did. However, on January 30, the ICON whitepaper was published, and it has left readers amazed and extremely bullish on the future of this cryptocurrency.
Essentially, the framework of ICON is a blockchain of blockchains. In the ICX ecosystem, communities such as universities, hospitals, or banks can create their own blockchains. Each blockchain operating under ICX, while autonomous from one another, connects to the ICX global blockchain system, coined the "ICON Nexus", through the help of specific nodes that act as liaisons between individual blockchains and the Nexus.
Each community blockchain is independent of one another, but all communicate with the same global Nexus blockchain.
This is all made possible thanks to the loopchain technology incorporated by ICON. With loopchain, community-created custom blockchains can be created through a multi-channel approach, individualized through the use of smart contracts to match the exact speed and utility requirements of the individual community. This is a high-powered blockchain implementation with near instantaneous transactions that can scale to 9,000 transactions per second (TPS), according to the whitepaper.
An example of the community blockchain currently in use by South Korean hospitals, where each participant acts as a node and exchanges pertinent information outlined by the specialized smart contract.
ICON is differentiated from its competitors by the actualities and capabilities of its network. While many other projects plan to develop their technology to scale for massive and widespread use, and others also plan to penetrate a number of major industries, only ICON provides a blockchain protocol that is already scalable for worldwide adoption and is currently being used by a number of institutions, businesses, and industries.
As current ICON adopters expand their networks and usage of the cryptocurrency, it is highly likely that other industries and businesses will follow suit. While ICON may appear to have a huge valuation with a market cap of US$2.7 billion, the potential of this coin suggests that its future market capitalization could easily rival that of top competitors such as NEO or even Ethereum (ETH). At current prices, ICX's market cap would require a growth of over 3,000% to match that of Ethereum.


How I live till now, I tell them I don't know.
I guess they understand how lonely life has been.
But life began again, the day you took my hand.
And yes .. I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me. And the night won't set my free.
But I .. don't let the evening bring me down.
You set my spirit free, I'm happy that you do.
The book of life is brief and once a page is read.
All but love is dead, that is my belief.

Well known scientist Stephen Hawking has died aged 76
Scientist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76, a spokesman for his family has said.
Professor Hawking's children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.
"He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years.
"His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.
"He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.'
"We will miss him forever."
The world famous physicist and cosmologist was the subject of the 2014 film The Theory Of Everything, which starred Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
He also performed several cameos in the US comedy series The Big Bang Theory.
Hawking contracted motor neurone disease in 1963 and was given two years to live but he went on to study at Cambridge and became one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Albert Einstein.
He was given more than a dozen honorary degrees and was awarded the CBE in 1982.
The University of Cambridge has will open a book of condolence at Gonville and Caius College for anyone who would like to pay tribute to Hawking's life and work. (Courtesy Sky News)

They say that knowledge is power. So what happens when women and girls are systematically deprived of an education?
Globally, 63 million girls are currently out of school, and an estimated two-thirds of women cannot read or write. In sub-Saharan Africa, only two countries offer girls and boys an equal education, while in South and West Asia, 80% of uneducated girls are unlikely to ever set foot in a school.
As far as maintaining gender inequality goes, a lack of schooling is the most effective trick in the book. Deprived of the ability to make genuine choices about the life they want for themselves, uneducated women are far more likely to stay in the domestic sphere. And in countries where they're already treated as second-class citizens, illiteracy ensures that underprivileged women are unable to make use of their (often already limited) legal rights.
Every girl has the right to an education – and the benefits are vast and wide-reaching. Educated girls are far less likely to be subjected to child marriage, and have fewer, healthier and better educated children themselves, meaning a better economy further down the line. And educated girls don't just pull themselves out of poverty: according to UNICEF, women in developing countries tend to reinvest 90% of what they earn back into their families, meaning that whole communities reap the rewards.
Girls on a "school boat" in Bangladesh, where huge efforts have been made to get more girls into education.
Now, the UK has pledged to spend £100m on getting some of the world's most marginalised girls into education – and keeping them there.
British Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening announced the £100m funding commitment at the first Girls' Education Forum in London on Thursday, hosted with Gucci-founded organisation CHIME FOR CHANGE and Global Citizen. The money is expected to help 175,000 of the poorest girls in developing countries.
Speaking exclusively to Stylist.co.uk, Greening said: "When you lift a girl out of poverty because she's educated, in time you lift the whole country out of poverty too. So we were really delighted to be able to put a spotlight on girls' education here today.
The forum, the culmination of Global Citizen's #SheWill campaign, was followed by an event at the top of the Shard with music from Laura Mvula and Tom Odell. In attendance were #SheWill supporters, who won tickets by taking part in online 'actions' via the Global Citizen website – from signing petitions to tweeting and emailing politicians about the value of girls' education for girls.


SAN RAMON, Calif., Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As the healthcare system grows increasingly complex and profit-driven, the need for patient advocacy becomes vital. Insurance companies can make it hard for patients to understand which procedures or medications are covered, or even how to go about receiving the care they need. Over time, healthcare has greatly shifted from a trusting relationship between practitioner and patient to a more impersonal and institutionalized system. While this makes sense given the size of the population in relation to the number of practitioners, it's not uncommon to hear people's complaints about the standard of care. Many individuals lament that they feel they must be their own advocate to achieve their health care needs. The problem with this is most people aren't well versed in the medical system or the details of insurance companies. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company that offers health and wellness discounts feels that access to a patient advocate can greatly help members receive the best care.
"The medical system is sometimes confusing, and it can be difficult to understand what your options are," said Jennifer Martinez, Manager at FEBC. "Everyone should be in charge of their own healthcare. Having a patient advocate can make a huge difference, especially with complex conditions that require more care."
Patient advocates play an important role because they work on behalf of the patient to ensure that the patient is an active participant in their own healthcare. They may explain medical tests, policies, or procedures, investigate patient complaints, or mediate disputes between patients and staff. Illness or chronic diseases are stressful, and a patient on their own may not always be able to think clearly or retain the information a health care provider gives them at the time. Having a patient advocate ensures that there's an impartial party who can knowledgeably explain any confusing information. They can also be designated to carry out a patient's medical wishes should something happen to make the patient unable to communicate. On the other end, the patient advocate also works to be certain that the organizations are listening to, understanding and acknowledging the needs of the patient.
"At FEBC we embrace self-determination in regards to health and wellness," said Martinez. "Providing access to patient advocates is just one more way we're trying to do our part to help our members to live the healthiest lives possible."

TVA Program Honors Knoxville as Community of the Year
The Tennessee Valley Authority and its Green Power Switch partners honored the City of Knoxville as "Community of the Year" during a ceremony Tuesday night at the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg.
Green Power Switch Leadership Awards were presented in 13 categories with the City of Knoxville winning the Community award in the Customer Leadership division. Jake Tisinger, Project Manager of the City's Office of Sustainability, accepted the award. Knoxville was the only municipality to receive the honor.
"The City of Knoxville is always working toward a comprehensive sustainability program that embraces renewable energy initiatives," said Mayor Madeline Rogero. "It is such an honor to be recognized for our support of TVA's renewable goals and the Green Power Switch program."
The City of Knoxville currently purchases 375 Green Power Switch blocks each month, which helps produce 56,250 kilowatt hours of renewable energy in the Tennessee Valley. That is enough to provide 45 homes with pure renewable energy every month.
The City also features five Solar PV arrays on four building rooftops and hosts a LEED-certified Convention Center and LEED Silver Transit Center. These and other initiatives convinced TVA to nominate the City for the 2013 Community of the Year Award.
TVA, local distributors of TVA power and members of the environmental community launched Green Power Switch in 2000 as the first-of-its-kind program in the Southeast.
It allows consumers to help ensure that renewable energy from wind, solar and landfill gas is added to TVA's power supply. Consumers and businesses can purchase Green Power Switch blocks of 150 kilowatts (about 12 percent of a typical Tennessee Valley home's monthly electricity use) from their local power distributor. Each block costs an additional $4 on the consumer's monthly power bill and consumers can buy as many blocks as they like.
Additional information on TVA's Green Power Switch program is available online at www.greenpowerswitch.com.
The TVA Green Power Switch 2012 Leadership Award recipients are:
Local Power Companies:
Knoxville Utilities Board: Leader of the Year - Total Sales Tullahoma Board of Public Utilities: Leader of the Year - Percent of Electricity Sales Memphis Light, Gas and Water: Top Recruiter of the Year - Most new Green Power Switch customers Huntsville Utilities: Top Recruiter of the Year - Most growth in energy block sales Cookeville Electric Department: Catalyst Award - Largest single new Green Power Switchblock purchase Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation, Carthage, TN: Pacesetter Award - Highest average block purchase per residential customer Appalachian Electric Cooperative, New Market, TN: Local Power Company Innovator of the Year

Colin developed a love for the ocean at a young age and it became an escape from the congestion of his urban surroundings. Into young adulthood Colin was propelled by his urge to explore, and he sought travel and waves in secluded, more natural, locations up and down California's coastline. At the same time he noticed that the surf publications of the day lacked the types of images he was seeing with his own eyes; Colin was eager to share his personal viewpoint of California's coast.
After a few years and a few thousand photos, Colin realized photography would be an ideal career for himself based on his longstanding relationship with the ocean, as it was the perfect blend of art and science. He entered Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara focusing on a degree in professional photography and digital imaging. After a short stint working as a freelance surf photographer, he accepted a position producing documentary photography, video, and high-speed imagery for various federal agencies. Colin continues to capture images of his beloved empty waves, and travels in his free time.

Famous Young Entrepreneurs Stories
jones February 10, 2022 Leave a Comment
Over the last decade, self-employment has grown in popularity. In this day and age of the internet and technology, people are more confident in their ability to market their ideas and achieve success. People may reach Famous Young Entrepreneurs out to the world and demonstrate their creativity with even the most fundamental abilities, such as understanding how to design a website or promote things online.
A research done in 2015 found that almost 14 percent of the overall working population in the United States was involved in operating their own business, and we all know that the numbers have been expanding since then. Every day, when we drive, shower, or sit through a tedious lecture, our imaginations generate some of the most exciting ideas that may possibly become large business concepts, but we tend to disregard them since we are never aiming to earn money from them. Our minds are idea machines, but only a handful of us take the initiative to make these ideas a reality.
One of the most typical complaints of people who blossom late and achieve success in their later years is that they did not have the courage to market their ideas sooner. One of the most prevalent reasons used by young people is that they are not old enough to start their own business. It is never too early or too late to achieve success in life.

Charlotte was a recent high school graduate who chose to start her own firm, Wound Up, after following in the footsteps of her father and grandparents. 3 Wound Up, a women's clothes business targeting women aged 18 to 40, was inspired by certain tiny and eccentric stores in California.
Caine Monroy was nine years old when he opened his own crude cardboard arcade inside his father's East Los Angeles auto parts business. 4 Doting on Caine's remarkable ability to make something from nothing, the arcade's sole customer sought to build publicity in the hopes of generating college fund money for Caine. He shared a short clip on social media, and Caine's Arcade quickly gained international attention, with stories appearing on ABC World News, Good Morning America, and MSNBC.
When Jack Kim started Benelab, a search engine that produces donations, he was a teenager in Seattle. Kim has previously created search engines and rapidly saw the power of a search engine in producing cash from low traffic. The search engine's objective, according to Kim, is "to make charity simpler and more accessible."
When the crisis hit Florida hard and properties that had formerly sold for $100,000 were suddenly being auctioned off for $12,000, Willow Tufano, then 14, decided to take advantage of the chance. She broached the idea of buying a house to her real estate mother, who responded by extending her entire support. Tufano, unsurprisingly, was no stranger to the world of real estate. She used to make money by cleaning out abandoned houses and selling leftover stuff on Craigslist.
These young people's tales demonstrate that entrepreneurship is not a one-size-fits-all undertaking. It entails believing in the potential of ideas and pursuing them beyond the stages of ideation and concept development. These young entrepreneurs, who were inspired by family, academics, societal trends, and events, all had one thing in common: they identified and capitalised on an opportunity. And it is the entrepreneur's spirit.

Gorgonzola, the cheese that lives
ppagani• 30 September 2013
Gorgonzola is a very ancient cheese. Some say Gorgonzola was first produced in the town of Gorgonzola, near Milan, in the year 879 AD; some other say that it was first produced in Pasturo in the province of Lecco, a great cheese-making area for centuries due to the presence of excellent natural caves where the average temperature is constantly between 6°C and 12°C.
In any case, the town of Gorgonzola remained the most famous place, although it was not the main production or trade centre for various centuries. In fact, the real Gorgonzola's first name was "stracchino di Gorgonzola", later better defined with the synonym "green stracchino". Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the success of Gorgonzola cheese has been growing, especially abroad: approximately 30% (13,000 tons) is exported. Germany and France are the main consumer countries, absorbing more than 50% of overall export. Switzerland, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Scandinavian countries, and Spain follow in Europe; then, USA and Canada. Significant signals also come from the Far East and Australia: Japan and China are the countries where Italian cheeses are most successful. In particular, Gorgonzola cheese consumption has grown from a few dozen tons imported until the 1990s to over 400 tons recently.
Only with the G
Gorgonzola rounds are marked at the origin on both flat faces. Consumers may recognise the cheese when they buy it by the G brand printed on the aluminium sheet wrapping the cheese, which is exclusively assigned to the producers authorised by the Consortium.
By law and tradition, Gorgonzola cheese production is allowed in only two Italian regions and only the following provinces: Novara, Vercelli, Cuneo, Biella, Verbano Cusio Ossola, and the area of Casale Monferrato for Piedmont region, and Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Lecco, Lodi, Milano, Monza, Pavia, and Varese for Lombardy region. Only milk produced in such provinces may be used to produce and grant Gorgonzola cheese a DOP certification.
Soft or spicy?
Gorgonzola cheese is creamy and soft, with a peculiar, typical taste. Soft gorgonzola cheese is slightly spicy; spicy gorgonzola, whose curd is more blue-veined, is thicker and more crumbly.
Extremely rich in minerals and vitamins, Gorgonzola cheese has a significant content in proteins and a moderate fat content compared with other cheeses. As Gorgonzola cheese is "live" food, whose maturation never ends, it is recommended to buy reasonable quantities that can be consumed within a few days. Spicy Gorgonzola can be preserved longer without changing its characteristics, as compared with soft Gorgonzola.
It should be preserved with care to keep pleasant its aromas and tastes, but always in the fridge. Many people do not keep Gorgonzola in the cheese container, as they are afraid that its typical smell may be transferred to other cheese. A simple recommended solution is to remove the crust and wrap Gorgonzola, without its crust, in aluminium or keep it in special taste-saving containers, if it is purchased in these containers; its crust is often the cause of its penetrating and not always pleasant smell.
Before consumption, it is recommended that you keep Gorgonzola at room temperature for at least 30 minutes so that its organoleptic characteristics are enhanced and its maximum tastiness reached.
Gorgonzola cheese is good to prepare both simple and complex recipes, and excellent sauces and tasty creams, adding butter or cream, which are ideal for pasta or rice dishes or tasty potato gnocchi.

Have you given much thought to what your ideal laundry room would look like? If you spend much of your life doing laundry, you probably have. But if you always thought that giving your laundry room a makeover was unrealistic, think again.
Here are 8 laundry room storage tips to help you turn your current space into the organized laundry room you've always wanted.
Out of sight, out of mind, right? Cabinets offer the perfect façade to keep dirty laundry hidden away. You can manipulate cabinets to conceal laundry baskets that can easily be pulled out for washing, or cut holes in the cabinet tops to act as a bit of a laundry chute.
If possible, hang everything you can. Use paneling on your walls to help you attach hooks, which can easily be used to hold storage shelving, baskets, drying racks, and anything else you need.
Baskets, whether attached to your walls, stored on shelves, or within cabinets, are excellent for holding clothespins, stain removers, unmatched socks, and even lint.
Have an old wooden ladder you don't know what to do with? Give it a new coat of paint and suspend it from your ceiling to add extra space for hanging clothes to dry. Lay pants over the rungs, use it to hang shirts and jackets on hangers—get creative and get those clothes dry.
Look for any nooks and crannies in your laundry room, and fill them. Use slim rolling shelves to add storage space beside your washer and dryer, hang shelves on any open walls to store detergent, and consider placing shelves directly on top of front loaders. Clothes lines are another easy way to make the most of your space, allowing you to extend and retract the line as needed, optimizing storage for small places.
If you have open shelving, consider storing your detergent and other supplies in apothecary jars to make items look good while keeping them accessible. Use chalkboard labels to identify the contents and add to the jars' charm.
Attaching your ironing board to the wall is a simple way to save space, while maintaining easy access to iron clothes as needed.
If you haven't used an over the door shoe organizer to store anything other than shoes, you're missing out. Hang the organizer over the door to your laundry room and use it to store cleaning supplies. Buy a handful of these organizers and use them in every room in your house—you won't regret it!
Start implementing these 8 tips in your laundry room today and you'll find your laundry day experiences improving tremendously.

Q: Too many unique state objects? So I've experienced a DirectX issue, and an exception is thrown as describes:
D3D11_ERROR_TOO_MANY_UNIQUE_STATE_OBJECTS
0x887C0001

The application has exceeded the maximum number of unique state objects per Direct3D device.
The limit is 4096 for feature levels up to 11.1

And cannot find documentation on this issue. For reference there are only 3 models being draw to screen using Monogame's BasicEffect, each model has less than 50 polygons.
How is this occurring, and how can it be resolved?

A: This was the fix that I found most effective:
static void Render(GraphicsDevice gd, ModelMesh mesh) {
    gd.RasterizerState = RasterizerState.CullNone;

    for (int i = 0; i < mesh.MeshParts.Count; i++) {
        int vertexCount = mesh.MeshParts[i].NumVertices;
        VertexBuffer vb = mesh.MeshParts[i].VertexBuffer;
        IndexBuffer ib = mesh.MeshParts[i].IndexBuffer;

        gd.SetVertexBuffer(vb);
        gd.Indices = ib;

        EffectPass pass = mesh.MeshParts[i].Effect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0];
        pass.Apply();
        int startIndex = mesh.MeshParts[i].StartIndex;
        int primitiveCount = mesh.MeshParts[i].PrimitiveCount;

        gd.DrawInstancedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, startIndex, primitiveCount, 0);

Liang Court has always been the place to visit if I feel like having a piece of Japan in Singapore. With the Japanese Supermarket Meidi-ya, Bookstore Kinokuniya and other authentic Japanese restaurants in the building, the mall is always one of the places I would go to if there isn't anything particular in my mind.
I was tantalised by the yummylicous cake display right in front of the Dulcet & Studio one night after a sumptuous Udon dinner at Liang Court. Determined to pay a visit, me and my girlfriends arranged a brunch date over there a week later.
The interior of the cafe is designed by a top Japanese designer based out of Tokyo. The cafe also functioned as a cooking studio, where customers can sign up for cooking lessons. Contemporary country style interior, perfect for girls' gathering.
The menu comprises of Western-Japanese Fusion dishes. You can expect pasta, hamburger, steak, beef spare rib or baked dory fish, prepared and marinated with fresh ingredients air-flown from Japan. As we all felt like having pasta that day, none of us ordered anything out of that category. lol. And so the baked seafood pasta from the above picture is served. It takes quite some time to get used to the strong seafood sauce — not quite my type.
My pasta comes next — to my surprise, this Healthy Spinach Fettuccine with Scallops is actually a cream based pasta. The spinach fettuccine has a chewier texture if compared to the usual pasta. Very interesting texture I would say, and the spinach pasta goes super well with the cream sauce. It tastes good with shredded nori – Imagine seaweed with cream, cheese, butter — a heavenly convergence! If you like creamy deliciousness, this dish is a must try.
The big fat juicy scallop goes well with the creamy sauce, probably one of the reason I like the dish. Tender seared, the sea scallops are just so photogenic that I couldn't resist taking pictures of them.
My Verdict: Meals served here are from SGD15 – SGD 20, quite reasonably priced considering the quality and the serving portion. Desserts and cakes are looking good and relatively big if compared to other cafes. Nice but did not wow me. I like the quiet and cosy environment, and would recommend it to those who are looking for a place where you could sit for hours chit-chatting over a cup of coffee.

Yemeni woman sentenced to death for killing male relative who tried to rape her
I found this little slice of life in Alarabiya.net. I suppose its an improvement that these stories are getting published nowadays. It was written by Mustapha Ajbaili
A Yemeni woman has been sentenced to death for having opened fire and killed a male relative who climbed up the wall of her house in an attempt to rape her.
Raja Hakimi was initially sentenced to two years in prison by a district court in the southern province of Ibb. The sentence was raised to death by the court of appeals, prompting the condemnation of women and human rights groups.
Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC), an organization co-founded in 2005 by Tawakkol Karman, a recipient of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, condemned the death sentence against Rajaa as an "unjust ruling, which violates all legislation and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
WJWC said in a statement that the woman, Hakimi, was "only defending herself" against an armed man who tried to exploit the absence of the woman's husband and attack her with the intention to rape her.
The man reportedly carried a gun and climbed up the wall of Hakimi's house in the middle of the night trying to enter the house from the window, Adenalghad.net and voice-yemen.com websites reported.
When she saw him, the frightened Hakimi pulled up the gun of her husband and opened fire on the assailant. He fell down to the ground and died. In the morning, neighbors saw the body of the man and informed the police, who then arrested Hakimi.
Hakimi pleaded guilty to murder but insisted that that she killed him in self-defense. However, her words were not taken into consideration by the appeals court, which ordered sending her to the gallows.
But deputy general director of legal affairs in the province of Ibb, Abdulrakeb Alhimyari, told Al Arabiya English that the act of killing was "possibly planned beforehand."
He quoted Abdul Alim al-Hakami, a relative of both the woman and the murdered assailant, as saying that "justice was finally held."
Abdul Alim was a previous government official in the province of Ibb, according to Alhimyari.
Alhimyari said Abdul Alim told him that the assailant was "dragged into the house" in order to be killed. But Alhimyari insisted that this story could not be verified as true.
Some local media had claimed that relatives close to family of murdered assailant have influence on local authorities in the province of Ibb, which could explain why the ruling was in their favor.
Arab Women in the Middle East
Arab Women in the Middle East (why is this written by a guy?)
n Pakistan, a 14-year-old girl is shot by Muslim extremists for daring to call for education for women.
In Tunisia, a young woman who was raped by three policemen is about to on trial for committing an "indecent act." Her crime: she was sitting with her fiancé in a car when the policemen surprised them and brutally raped her.
Syrian refugee girls who fled the fighting in their country are being forced into marriages by Muslim men, who are exploiting the plight of their families to fulfill sexual fantasies.
In the West Bank city of Hebron, a Muslim woman who decided to run in the local election is being ridiculed and threatened by fundamentalists who insist that she should be only staying at home cooking and looking after her husband and children.
In the Gaza Strip, women continue to suffer from severe restrictions imposed by Hamas and other fundamentalist groups.
In Saudi Arabia, women are still not allowed to drive.
In Israel, however, Muslim women are not only allowed to drive and run for elections, but can also reach high positions. Not all Arab Israelis are an "enemy from within;" Muslim women in the Jewish state enjoy more rights and opportunities than their colleagues in Arab and Islamic countries.
While female Muslims are being abducted, raped, shot, tortured and forced into unwanted marriages in a number of Arab and Islamic countries, 33-year-old Maria Gharra has just become Israel's first Muslim woman to serve as a police officer.
Gharra, who is from a village in the Triangle area in Israel, is probably one of the most courageous Arab women in Israel.
"I'm part of the state and I even have no problem singing the 'Hatikvah' [Israel's national anthem]," she declared shortly after she assumed her new job.
Gharra represents those Arab Israelis who see Israel as their state and believe in its democratic system.
Her story also shows that Arab women often have more opportunities than in most Arab and Islamic countries.
Contrary to common belief, Gharra does not believe that her recruitment to the Israeli police is an unusual act. "I never felt different," she explained. "My working assumption is that we are all equal citizens. This is my state and that is why I want to make a contribution."
What is even more encouraging is that she has won the support of her parents, who say they are proud to see her serve in the Israeli police.
True, many Arab men already serve in the Israeli police, but this is the first time that a woman has been promoted to the rank of officer.
Amal Ayoub, 36, is one of the women making waves in biotechnology. The founder of Metallo Therapy, a startup developing gold nano-particles to enhance radiation therapy, she is the first female Arab Israeli high-tech entrepreneur.
Dr. Rania al-Khatib is the first Arab Israeli woman to become a plastic surgeon at Rambam Hospital.
These are only some of the success stories of Arab women in Israel.
The past two decades have also seen a number of Arab women elected to the Knesset a right that is denied to Muslim women in some Arab countries.
In recent years, hundreds of Arab Israeli women, ignoring calls from some leaders of the Arab community to boycott national service, have volunteered for the government's initiative.
Although of course there is much Israel could do to improve the living standards of its Arab citizens, especially in employment and infrastructure, the success stories of Arab women in Israel stand in sharp contrast to the reports about discrimination against women in the Arab and Islamic countries.

Another Swasitka on Campus
A swastika was found on the door of a freshman girl last month at Cal. It was just mentioned to me in passing- its almost as though the Jewish students have been completely desensitized to this sort of thing. There was nothing in the Daily Cal, and as far as I can tell, nothing was done. Was this even reported? Does anyone care?
It seems, at UC Berkeley, the answer is still "No"
Let them eat i Phones
No Food. No Water. No hospital beds. But Gaza has Apple I Phone 5's.
The funniest part is that the phone isn't even available yet in Israel (It won't be released until December), but its already saturating Gaza.
"Apple's new iPhone 5 is selling well in the Gaza Strip despite inflated prices, reaching the Palestinian enclave via smuggling tunnels even before high-tech hub Israel next door.
The cutting edge smart phone is being snapped up for almost double what it costs in the United States, its price jacked up by middlemen on its circuitous delivery route from Dubai via tunnels linking the blockaded territory with Egypt.
But the phones have been available for a couple of weeks in Gaza and they were on display on Monday in three independent mobile stores in a one-block radius in downtown Gaza City."

This article is exclusive to Arab News. I dont really know what that means, but its worth giving it wider exposure. Written by Abdulateef Al-Mulhim, the original can be found here
Thirty-nine years ago, on Oct. 6, 1973, the third major war between the Arabs and Israel broke out. The war lasted only 20 days. The two sides were engaged in two other major wars, in 1948 and 1967.
The 1967 War lasted only six days. But, these three wars were not the only Arab-Israel confrontations. From the period of 1948 and to this day many confrontations have taken place. Some of them were small clashes and many of them were full-scale battles, but there were no major wars apart from the ones mentioned above. The Arab-Israeli conflict is the most complicated conflict the world ever experienced. On the anniversary of the 1973 War between the Arab and the Israelis, many people in the Arab world are beginning to ask many questions about the past, present and the future with regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The questions now are: What was the real cost of these wars to the Arab world and its people. And the harder question that no Arab national wants to ask is: What was the real cost for not recognizing Israel in 1948 and why didn't the Arab states spend their assets on education, health care and the infrastructures instead of wars? But, the hardest question that no Arab national wants to hear is whether Israel is the real enemy of the Arab world and the Arab people.
I decided to write this article after I saw photos and reports about a starving child in Yemen, a burned ancient Aleppo souk in Syria, the under developed Sinai in Egypt, car bombs in Iraq and the destroyed buildings in Libya. The photos and the reports were shown on the Al-Arabiya network, which is the most watched and respected news outlet in the Middle East.
The common thing among all what I saw is that the destruction and the atrocities are not done by an outside enemy. The starvation, the killings and the destruction in these Arab countries are done by the same hands that are supposed to protect and build the unity of these countries and safeguard the people of these countries. So, the question now is that who is the real enemy of the Arab world?
The Arab world wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and lost tens of thousands of innocent lives fighting Israel, which they considered is their sworn enemy, an enemy whose existence they never recognized. The Arab world has many enemies and Israel should have been at the bottom of the list. The real enemies of the Arab world are corruption, lack of good education, lack of good health care, lack of freedom, lack of respect for the human lives and finally, the Arab world had many dictators who used the Arab-Israeli conflict to suppress their own people.
These dictators' atrocities against their own people are far worse than all the full-scale Arab-Israeli wars.
In the past, we have talked about why some Israeli soldiers attack and mistreat Palestinians. Also, we saw Israeli planes and tanks attack various Arab countries. But, do these attacks match the current atrocities being committed by some Arab states against their own people.
In Syria, the atrocities are beyond anybody's imaginations? And, isn't the Iraqis are the ones who are destroying their own country? Wasn't it Tunisia's dictator who was able to steal 13 billion dollars from the poor Tunisians? And how can a child starve in Yemen if their land is the most fertile land in the world? Why would Iraqi brains leave Iraq in a country that makes 110 billion dollars from oil export? Why do the Lebanese fail to govern one of the tiniest countries in the world? And what made the Arab states start sinking into chaos?
On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel was declared. And just one day after that, on May 15, 1948 the Arabs declared war on Israel to get back Palestine. The war ended on March 10, 1949. It lasted for nine months, three weeks and two days. The Arabs lost the war and called this war Nakbah (catastrophic war). The Arabs gained nothing and thousands of Palestinians became refugees.
And on 1967, the Arabs led by Egypt under the rule of Gamal Abdul Nasser, went in war with Israel and lost more Palestinian land and made more Palestinian refugees who are now on the mercy of the countries that host them. The Arabs called this war Naksah (upset). The Arabs never admitted defeat in both wars and the Palestinian cause got more complicated. And now, with the never ending Arab Spring, the Arab world has no time for the Palestinians refugees or Palestinian cause, because many Arabs are refugees themselves and under constant attacks from their own forces. Syrians are leaving their own country, not because of the Israeli planes dropping bombs on them. It is the Syrian Air Force which is dropping the bombs. And now, Iraqi Arab Muslims, most intelligent brains, are leaving Iraq for the est. In Yemen, the world's saddest human tragedy play is being written by the Yemenis. In Egypt, the people in Sinai are forgotten.
Finally, if many of the Arab states are in such disarray, then what happened to the Arabs' sworn enemy (Israel)? Israel now has the most advanced research facilities, top universities and advanced infrastructure. Many Arabs don't know that the life expectancy of the Palestinians living in Israel is far longer than many Arab states and they enjoy far better political and social freedom than many of their Arab brothers. Even the Palestinians living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip enjoy more political and social rights than some places in the Arab World. Wasn't one of the judges who sent a former Israeli president to jail is an Israeli-Palestinian?
The Arab Spring showed the world that the Palestinians are happier and in better situation than their Arab brothers who fought to liberate them from the Israelis. Now, it is time to stop the hatred and wars and start to create better living conditions for the future Arab generations.

Finally. A Middle Eastern Flotilla that I Can Support!
Taken from the AP wire
If Code Pink provided this service to Gaza and North Africa, I might just join them!
Moroccan police Thursday escorted from its waters a small yacht carrying women's rights activists claiming to be able to perform abortions on board, after anti-abortion protesters jeered them on land.
The Dutch group Women on Waves sailed the boat around the northern Moroccan harbor with banners advertising an information hotline about abortion, which is illegal in most cases in this North African country.
A day earlier, the group had said that a ship that can provide "safe, legal, medical abortions" up until 6.5 weeks of pregnancy was on its way from the Netherlands. Medical professionals have traveled before to European nations to raise awareness; the group's founder said that abortions had been performed aboard ship in international waters off of Poland.
The trip in the harbor of the Mediterranean coastal town of Smir was the abortion rights group's first event in a Muslim country.
Abortion in Morocco is illegal, except in rare cases where the mother's life is threatened and it is also illegal to give out information about it. Moroccan officials had said the boat would not be allowed in to the harbor and police sealed the port for what they called "military maneuvers," denying journalists access.
But in the afternoon, activists from Women on Waves said they already had stationed a sailboat in the harbor several days ago, fearing the port would be shut down. That boat took off around the harbor, about an hour after the group's founder approached crowds of protesters on the ground, trying to hand out fliers on abortion in Arabic and French to crowds of protesters.
Police later boarded the Dutch-flagged yacht and escorted it out of the marina. No one was charged.
"We launched a hotline that gives information to women here in Morocco, because the ship can never solve the problem here for everyone," said Rebecca Gomperts, the organization's founder. The hotline contains a recorded message explaining which easily available medication in Morocco can be used to perform an abortion.
Some 200 protesters in Smir targeted the activists outside the sealed gates of the marina. The protesters, some in conservative Muslim robes and headscarves, carried pictures of bloody embryos and shouted "Terrorist!" and "Assassin!" at Gomperts.
"We are here because we cannot accept these values, the values of massacre," said protester Abdessamad Zilali, 23. "It is not part of our tradition to kill the unborn."
Police pushed back shouting protesters who tried to get closer to Gomperts, and said she was escorted away for her own protection.
The Women on Waves boat was invited to Morocco by a local women's rights organization seeking the legalization of abortion in this North African kingdom.
Founded in 1999, Women on Waves aims to spread information about safe medical abortions induced by medication and has previously angered authorities in conservative Catholic countries.
The group traveled to Ireland in 2001, Poland in 2003 and Spain, and was banned from entering Portugal's waters in 2004.

Ипподромная улица () — улица в Приволжском районе Казани, в историческом районе Суконная слобода.

География
Пересекается со следующими  улицами:

Ближайшие параллельные улицы: Шаляпина и Газовая. Ближайшая станция метро — «Суконная слобода». Улица имеет по одной полосе движения в каждом направлении.

История
Возникла не позднее 1-й половины XIX века. До революции 1917 года носила название 2-я Оренбургская улица или 2-я Поперечно-Оренбургская улица и относилась к 4-й полицейской части.

В 1914 году постановлением Казанской городской думы была переименована в Уральскую улицу, но реально это название не использовалось. После присвоения нового наименования 1-й Оренбургской улице порядковое числительное из названия улицы было отброшено. Современное название было присвоено между 1949 и 1977 годами. Названа в честь находившегося неподалёку Казанского ипподрома.

В первые годы советской власти административно относилась к 4-й части города; после введения в городе административных районов относилась к Бауманскому (до 1935), Молотовскому (с 1957 года Советскому, 1935–1942), Свердловскому (1942–1956) и Приволжскому (с 1956 года) районам.

The GTK+ main loop will emit three signals for each GDK event delivered to a widget: one generic event signal, another, more specific, signal that matches the type of event delivered (e.
g. key_press_event) and finally a generic event_after signal.
true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event and to cancel the emission of the second specific event signal. false to propagate the event further and to allow the emission of the second signal. The event_after signal is emitted regardless of the return value.

When you think a tenant is in breach of a covenant under their lease it is important to immediately seek specialist legal advice as to the steps you should take.
We can review the terms of the lease for you and determine the best course of action.
Forfeiture is seen as the ultimate sanction for a tenant in breach. It brings the lease to an end with a view to the landlord regaining possession and re-letting. There are a number of factors for a landlord to consider before forfeiting such as the ability to re-let, the likely rent achievable, responsibility for business rates during vacant periods and any potential claims by the tenant for unlawful forfeiture.
The lease will usually contain an express clause providing the right to forfeit. The clause will need to cover the alleged breach. Where the tenant has fallen into arrears of rent this will usually entitle the landlord to forfeit the lease once the rent has been outstanding for a certain period of time. With other breaches, such as the breach of a covenant to repair, the landlord must first serve a section 146 notice which communicates the landlord's intention to forfeit, specifies the breach and provides the tenant with a reasonable period of time to rectify the breach before forfeiting.
Landlords seeking to rely on this remedy must take care not to waive the right to forfeit. An act of waiver is something which recognises the continuing existence of the lease and which is communicated to the tenant such as demanding or accepting rent or levying distress. This is less important with continuing breaches where the right to forfeit is likely to arise again but with 'once and for all' breaches, the right to forfeit can be lost until there is a further breach.
Abacus' specialists can consider the best way forward for you and provide you with expert advice. We can provide fixed fee quotes in most circumstances. Contact us now on 0161 833 0044 or e-mail litigation@abacus-law.co.uk to discuss your options.


Home News Is the green new deal sustainable?
This week Washington DC was abuzz with news that had nothing to do with the occupant of The While House. A group of progressive legislators, led by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, in the House of Representatives, introduced "The Green New Deal." The resolution by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was in response to the alarming Fourth National Climate Assessment and aims to reduce global "greenhouse gas emissions from human sources of 40 to 60 percent from 2010 levels by 2030; and net-zero global emissions by 2050." While the bill is largely targeting the transportation industry, many proponents suggest that it would be more impactful, and healthier, to curb America's insatiable appetite for animal agriculture.
In a recent BBC report, "Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, and the brunt of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry." The average US family, "emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars," quipped Professor Tim Benton of the University of Leeds. "Most people don't think of the consequences of food on climate change. But just eating a little less meat right now might make things a whole lot better for our children and grandchildren," signed Benton.
Americans continue to chow down more than 26 billion pounds of meat a year, distressing environmentalists who assert that the current status quo is unsustainable. While veganism would provide a 70% relief to greenhouse gases worldwide, it is not foreseeable that 7 billion people would instantly change their diets to save the planet. Robotics, and even more so, artificial intelligence, is now being embraced by venture-backed entrepreneurs to artificially grow meat alternatives as creative gastronomic replacements.
NotCo competes in a growing landscape of other animal substitute upstarts. Hampton Creek, which recently rebranded as JUST, also offers an array of dairy and egg alternatives from plant-based ingredients. The ultimate test for all these companies is creating meat in a petri dish. When responding to the challenge, JUST announced, "Through a first-of-its-kind partnership, JUST will develop cultured Wagyu beef using cells from Toriyama prized cows. Then, Awano Food Group (a premier international supplier of meat and seafood) will market and sell the meat to clients exactly how they do today with conventionally produced Toriyama Wagyu." Today, a handful of companies, many ironically backed by livestock corporations, are also tackling the $90 billion cellular agriculture market, including: Mosa Meat, Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat, and Memphis Meats. Mosa, backed by Google founder Sergi Brin, unveiled the first synthetic burger in 2013 at a staggering cost of nearly a half million dollars.
