MADRID (AP) — Authorities in the Spanish city of Melilla say that around 200 migrants have tried to climb a barrier separating the European country's north African enclave from Morocco.
The local office of the Spanish government's representative said Friday that one migrant suffered a fractured leg while six Spanish police were injured when around 50 migrants managed to scale the security fence surrounding the coastal city.

Celleneuve (en occitan Cèlanòva) est un quartier de Montpellier situé dans l'ouest de la commune, formant un véritable village. Paroisse plus ancienne que la ville de Montpellier, elle a finalement été incluse dans celle-ci d'abord administrativement, puis rejointe par l'urbanisation.

Géographie
Celleneuve est situé à l'ouest de la commune de Montpellier, traversé au nord par la route de Lodève et limité au sud par la voie rapide, l'avenue de la Liberté construite sur les anciennes voies du Chemin de fer d'intérêt local. L'ancienneté du quartier est visible par une partie de ses rues, étroites et aux bâtiments serrés.

Jusqu'à la construction d'échangeurs et de ponts routiers près de la rivière Mosson, Celleneuve était la porte d'entrée par l'ouest de Montpellier. Celleneuve est séparé de la commune de Juvignac par la « folie » de Bonnier de la Mosson. Il est entouré par les quartiers de La Mosson (anciennement la Paillade) au nord-ouest, du Petit Bard au nord et de la Martelle au sud.

Le tramway et un bus desservent Celleneuve en direction du centre-ville, de la Paillade et des activités économiques et scolaires au nord (comme le lycée Jean Monnet).

Histoire
À une époque où Montpellier n'existe pas encore (il faudra encore attendre deux siècles) la voie Domitienne traverse la région, deux cours d'eau sont sur son passage : Le Lez à l'est et la Mosson à l'ouest. Deux péages existent : l'un à Castelnau, l'autre à Celleneuve.

L'histoire de Celleneuve commence en 799, lorsque Charlemagne attribue un terrain à Benoît d'Aniane pour y construire un prieuré « Cella Nova ».
L'église Sainte-Croix de Celleneuve qui date du  et a été rehaussée et fortifiée au , c'est une des plus anciennes églises de Montpellier. Elle a résisté à la guerre de Cent Ans, aux guerres de Religion et à la Révolution. L'intérieur de l'église a gardé son aspect roman initial. Elle est la seule église romane de Montpellier ouverte au culte.

Rue de la Croix : anciennement rue de l'église, la rue de la Croix, est une des plus anciennes de Celleneuve. Elle témoigne d'un habitat paysan, avec les escaliers extérieurs, une « grotte » pour les outils, l'âne, l'habitation est à l'étage, le grenier au dessus, le jardin et le puits derrière. Des parcelles en lanières ont permis de construire une autre rangée de maisons de l'autre côté, sur la rue de la Condamine.

La place Renaudel : la place actuelle était l'ancien cimetière de Celleneuve. C'est en 1809, qu'il a été déplacé rue Fabre de Saint Castor où il se trouve encore aujourd'hui. Cet espace est resté à l'abandon jusqu'en 1932 puis a été aménagé en place publique. En 1880 sont construits fontaine, puits et pompe. En 1905, un réservoir a été placé là. La place était alors un lieu de fêtes et des bals avec ses trois cafés (maintenant disparus).

L'esplanade Léo Malet : dans sa partie haute reçoit un tout jeune marché de producteurs (inauguré en 2012) tous les mercredis matin. Cet espace appartenait aux dominicains par le domaine de Notre-Dame, constitué au . À la Révolution, l'esplanade a été vendue comme bien national, et en 1790 est devenue la propriété de la famille Parlier. Plantée en vigne, elle a été vendue à la mairie de Montpellier en 1922. Dès 1923, la vigne a été arrachée et c'est devenu un terrain de foot ; des rangées de platanes ont été plantées, la partie haute est devenue un lieu de promenade et de repos. Entre 1962 et 1968, des préfabriqués ont été installés pour abriter des rapatriés en attente de relogement. C'est en 1988 que La Maison pour Tous Marie Curie y fut inaugurée. Les derniers aménagements datent de 2006 : parvis de la MPT, aménagement du boulodrome, avec fontaine, parking, ouverture vers l'avenue de Lodève par un escalier monumental ornementé de vases d'Anduze… C'est à cette occasion qu'elle est devenue l'esplanade Léo Malet.

En 2018 le quartier de Celleneuve bénéficie d'un plan d'aménagement de 4 millions d'euros pour rénover le quartier historique et aménager l'avenue de Lodève.

Cinéma
En dehors de deux cinémas multiplexe dans l'est de Montpellier et à Lattes, il y avait à Celleneuve une des seules salles de cinéma en dehors du centre-ville, exploitée par les Cinémas Diagonal. Le cinéma a été fermé en 2007, mais grâce à la mobilisation des habitants et associations du quartier, la ville de Montpellier a racheté les murs et entrepris une totale rénovation. C'est ainsi que le quartier retrouve un nouveau cinéma, rebaptisé « Nestor Burma », en hommage à l'écrivain Léo Malet né à Celleneuve, auteur des romans autour du détective privé Nestor Burma. Inauguré le 12 février 2011, le cinéma Nestor Burma propose une programmation autour de 4 axes : grand public, Art et Essai, spécifique Jeune Public, et partenariat de manifestations montpelliéraines et régionales.

Maison pour Tous

Parcs et jardins
 Le Parc Dioscoride : inauguré en 2004, il est situé près de l'Esplanade de Celleneuve. D'une superficie de 6 500 m2, on y trouve également une aire de jeux pour les enfants. Il est parfois le lieu d'animations proposées par des associations, comme cinéma plein air ou nuit du conte.
 Le parc Azema : ici la végétation est essentiellement méditerranéenne : Cèdres, cyprès... Il est situé sur l'ancien square du petit séminaire et dédié à Pierre Azéma, « médecin des pauvres ».
 Le parc Edouard André : inauguré en 2000, ce jardin à l'anglaise est accompagné d'un plateau sportif ainsi que d'un petit promontoire panoramique. Il est situé entre la rue André Le Nôtre et l'échangeur Willy Brandt.
 Le square Louis Carles : petit square de 700 m² inauguré en 1992. Planté de pins et de micocouliers. il est situé devant l'actuelle école maternelle Marie Pape Carpantier, autrefois écoles élémentaires Carnot et Molière. Ce square porte d'ailleurs le nom d'un ancien directeur.

Queen Liliuokalani Deposed
The leader of the Hawaiian Islands was Kalakaua, who ruled as he pleased. When he died his sister, Liliuokalani became Queen of the Hawaiian Islands (1891). Instead of favoring the Americans and missionaries, as every one expected, Liliuokalani soon showed that she too wanted to change the laws so as to rule just as she pleased. Like her brother, she spent much money, listened to the proposals of the Louisiana Lottery Company and of the opium dealers, and tried to change the laws so they could carry on their business in the Hawaiian Islands.
The better class of people on the islands knew that the lottery and opium eating would ruin the Hawaiians, and, led by Sanford B. Dole, an American born in the islands, they rebelled. The queen was made to sign a paper whereby she gave up her throne, but she added that the Americans had forced her to do so, and that the United States should judge whether they had a right to turn her out of her kingdom or not.
Dole and several other men on the island immediately set up a provisional government (1893), and sent men to Washington to offer the rich Hawaiian Islands as a free gift to our great republic. The Hawaiian question came up at Washington about a month before Harrison was to make room for Cleveland, and as everybody knew that the first of these gentlemen was for, and the latter against, the annexation of the islands, it became largely a question of time.
An attempt was made to rush a treaty through the Senate before the 4th of March. It failed, however, and Cleveland's first action was to withdraw the treaty and send a man to Hawaii to find out the wishes of the natives, because Liliuokalani insisted that they did not want to be annexed, and that she would never have been deposed had it not been for the American settlers and the United States marines. The latter had been sent ashore to protect the lives and property of Americans during the revolution, but the queen declared they had helped the rebels to dethrone her.
Now, it is very hard to find out the exact truth about such things, and many people have stated that the man sent out to Hawaii by Cleveland heard only one side of the story. However that may be, the President, upon receiving his report, felt sure that the Americans alone were to blame for all the trouble which had occurred.
When a person or a nation has done anything wrong, the only honorable course is to apologize and try to undo the harm done. Cleveland therefore sent a man out there, with orders to help the queen recover her lost power. This American minister, however, found out that it could not be done without bloodshed, and that Liliuokalani meant to have some of the men who had taken part in the revolution put to death, and to take their property. He therefore wrote to Washington for further orders, and the President promptly answered that he would not compel the people to receive the queen if they did not want her, and that lie would not uphold a woman who was not ready to show a generous and forgiving spirit. Liliuokalani thus lost his support, and, as the provisional government refused to yield to the queen, she had to withdraw to her private house, while the Hawaiians in power, seeing no chance of immediate annexation, set up a republic, with Dole as President.
Secretly helped by a few Englishmen, the Louisiana Lottery, and the opium sellers, Liliuokalani's friends now began to plot to overthrow the republic, and, it is said, they made arrangements to blow up the President and his Cabinet while they were at church.
We are told that this plot was discovered almost at the last minute by a man who stepped into the church and spoke a few words in President Dole's ear. The latter rose from his seat, after whispering in his turn to the men near him, who softly passed the message on. A few minutes later only the women and children were left in the building, but they too rushed out when they heard soldiers marching in the street.
Liliuokalani's friends and troops were promptly surrounded, and after a few men had been killed the rest surrendered. The queen was arrested, her stores of arms and explosives seized, and the uprising of 1895 was at an end. Fearing that the islands would not be able to resist an attack from the British or the Japanese (who both seemed inclined to pounce upon them), the Hawaiians again asked to be annexed by the United States. They had proved so quiet and orderly under a republican government that the proposal was accepted, and the stars and stripes now float over all the Hawaiian Islands, where until 1898 we owned only the right to a coaling station.

In this thought-provoking and playful short story collection, David Foster Wallace nudges at the boundaries of fiction with inimitable wit and seductive intelligence.
Wallace's stories present a world where the bizarre and the banal are interwoven and where hideous men appear in many guises. Among the stories are 'The Depressed Person, ' a dazzling and blackly humorous portrayal of a woman's mental state; 'Adult World, ' which reveals a woman's agonized consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with her husband; and 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, ' a dark, hilarious series of imagined interviews with men on the subject of their relations with women.
Wallace delights in leftfield observation, mining the absurd, the surprising, and the illuminating from every situation. This collection will enthrall DFW fans, and provides a perfect introduction for new readers.


And it's Dreghorn's Favourite by two lengths as Nodding Richard falls and Rolling Ruthie's lack of fitness shows!
This poll, in swing seats, for Politico, is mainly concerned with the two-nag battle between UK Labour and Conservatives on issues such as competence but allows the SNP in for some comparisons. I doubt Politico could be described as SNP-friendly, but I suspect they're populated with the usual 'centrist', post-Blairites who despise Corbyn and Rees-Mogg almost equally and not that interested in them.
It hasn't been getting much attention in Scotland due, I think, to the Scotsman scooping it and putting many readers off, so from TuS, one of the most trusted centres for citizen journalism in Ayrshire, here are some of the relevant graphics.
At first sight, because the questions are negative, the SNP peaking can look like slumping, to the lazy reader (yes you, wake up!) so, for impact, I turned one of them upside down for my header. Clever?
So, roughly speaking and with a wee bit of presumption, in Scotland, just over 20% of people think the Tories ARE in touch and only about 30% think Labour are BUT 60% think the SNP are in touch. That's a massive lead.
And, 70% think the Tories ARE only for the rich, more than 20% think Labour are only for the rich (20%! Anas, Kate!) while only 10% think the SNP are.
On competence, the SNP streak ahead at over 60% with Labour considered competent by less than 40% and the Tories under Carlaw at a miserable 30%. Labour will be pleased by that win over the Tories.
On support for average wage-earners, Labour close the gap on the SNP and the Tories do better than expected.
What I find encouraging is the SNP's consistently high trust and competence ratings are garnered in a Scotland battered daily with SNP/BAD.
It says a great deal about how many Scots use a common sense approach of judging parties by personal experience, rather than the pish gushing into their daily lives from the unionist dominated media.
Which begs the old question of where the SNP and Scotland would stand if we had any sort of balanced coverage.

A tide of contempt is corroding our politics
The Israeli press is focused these days on the political and legal travails of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud leader who has been prime minister since 2009 and has now been indicted in bribery, fraud, and influence-peddling scandals. No such charges ever attached to Menachem Begin, the scrupulously ethical politician who became Israel's first Likud prime minister in 1977. During a recent visit to the Israeli capital, I spent a few hours reliving the career of the country's sixth prime minister at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, a museum and archive akin to a US presidential library.
I can't say that my visit provided me with any blazing insight into current Israeli politics. But one exhibit got me thinking about US politics, and about the culture of contempt that pervades American society.
America needs what Israel was fortunate enough to have in 1981: a respected leader like Menachem Begin, who had the moral authority to take a stand against a spreading culture of contempt.
The display told the story of Israel's 1981 parliamentary election, in which Begin and Likud were facing a powerful challenge from Shimon Peres and the opposition Labor party. Polls showed Labor in the lead, and it was widely expected that Begin's first term as premier would be his last. But two days before the election, at a vast Labor gathering in Tel Aviv, the entertainer Dudu Topaz took the stage to rally the crowd. Amid cheers and laughter, he mocked Begin's supporters as trashy lowlifes, using a racial slur — "chakh-chakhim" — for the darker-skinned Jews from North Africa and the Arab lands that were the core of Likud's base.
The following night, Begin addressed a Likud rally at the same location. He recounted Topaz's bigoted put-down — deliberately mispronouncing "chakh-chakhim," as if to emphasize how distasteful and alien he found such language. Then he told his supporters about two fighters in the pre-statehood Jewish insurgency, who committed suicide in their prison cell rather than be hanged by the British. One, Meir Feinstein, was of Polish descent; the other, Moshe Barzani, was Iraqi. They died in each other's embrace, a grenade lodged between them. As Begin told the story, he emphasized, with shuddering emotion, that the two young men had laid down their lives not as a European and an Iraqi, but as "Jews! Brothers! Fighters!"
It was a moment of extraordinary power, and it changed the trajectory of the election.
"At that moment we already knew: Labor was defeated and the battle was over," the leftist Israeli journalist Gideon Levy wrote years later. Likud won a plurality of seats, and Begin continued as prime minister.
I don't know what goes through the minds of Israelis when they view that exhibit. What went through my mind as I watched the old film footage were echoes from modern American politics: Hillary Clinton lumping Republican voters into a "basket of deplorables." Mitt Romney writing off nearly half the electorate as the "47 percent . . . who believe that they are victims." Barack Obama, describing small-town conservatives in 2008 as "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them." Donald Trump smearing journalists as "enemies of the people" and Republican Never-Trumpers as "human scum."
Of course invective has always been part of politics. Hard-fought presidential campaigns are not a 21st-century innovation. In 1800, one leading supporter of John Adams — the president of Yale, no less — warned that if Thomas Jefferson were elected, "we would see our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution." Andrew Jackson's foes didn't just attack him in 1828, they slandered his wife Rachel in terms so poisonous that Jackson blamed them for her untimely death. Lyndon Johnson approved a notorious TV commercial suggesting his Republican challenger, Barry Goldwater, was prepared to kill children in a nuclear war.
What feels different today is how contemptuous political enmity has grown. Candidates, activists, and pundits are no longer content to ascribe bad motives to their opponents or predict bad outcomes if they prevail. Increasingly they see those on the other side of the political divide not as fellow Americans with whom they differ, but as "deplorables" or "losers" whom they despise.
For most of American history, it was suicidal for candidates to sneer derisively at half the electorate. In 1884, a surrogate of James G. Blaine, the Republican presidential nominee, publicly libeled Democrats as the party of "rum, Romanism, and rebellion" — i.e., alcoholics, Catholics, and disloyal ex-Confederates. Newspapers trumpeted the insult in headlines the following day, enraging Irish Catholic voters and fatally wounding Blaine's campaign. Rough-and-tumble politics was one thing, but to openly scorn a huge swath of the electorate was intolerable.
Those old norms are dead. Gallup reports that now even the most basic institutions of American life — religious organizations, the economic system, higher education, the scientific establishment — are seen by partisans "not as beneficial and necessary, but as part of an effort by the other side to gain advantage and to perpetuate its power."
It is commonplace to decry the polarization of American society. But what makes it so dysfunctional isn't that we have sharp disagreements. It's the caustic contempt with which those disagreements are expressed —the determination not just to win political arguments, but to savor the tears of those who lose them.
More than at any time since the Civil War, America needs what Israel was fortunate enough to have in 1981: a respected leader to take a stand against a spreading culture of contempt. More than ever, voters need to say no to candidates who traffic in defamation and disdain. But we have pulled down the guardrails that used to keep American politics within broad bounds of decency and respect, and no one seems inclined to put them back up.

Money laundering isn't a new idea. In short, it takes dirty money and puts it through three stages. First stage is placement. Money is introduced into the financial system. The second stage is layering: attempting to conceal the illegal nature of the funds by carrying out various transactions. And then finally integration: the launderer makes "legitimate" purchases with the money they placed and layered.
Laundering the news isn't much different. Once you're aware of it, it's easy to spot.
An unverified or un-sourced story is put out by one or more organizations. Generally a scapegoat organization is used to keep the mainstream names clean. In many cases, small unknown blogs are used. In our example today: Buzzfeed news.
How do they get away with publishing un-sourced stories? They simply obfuscate it with "according to a source close to x," or "anonymous official says." If the source isn't being named, the news is likely fake.
The original source may be questioned or even discredited at this point, but this is not important and will not stop the laundering process.
This should be a big red flag for anybody paying attention. It's a big claim that Trump directed his attorney to lie to congress. That Buzzfeed won't reveal sources is the first flag. That they haven't even seen evidence of it means that they have failed at completing even the minimum for a journalist: verification of facts.
Reputable mainstream news outlets who need to keep their reputations clean can now cite the original source without themselves having to fact-check or verify the claims.
CNN: BuzzFeed: Sources say Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about proposed Moscow project.
Each article citing the original, flawed, article are able to report on it at face value, presenting it as true without having to cover any details over its veracity. Grey areas of the original article will simply be left out of all future reports, so anybody looking into the news reports will simply now see the source as the original outlet rather than the "anonymous source" which is easily questioned.
Most viewers inform themselves simply on headlines alone. Those reading the entire article are unlikely to follow the trail of news to its original source to judge the veracity of the original content.
At this point, even if outlets begin to silently post retractions and the original source becomes debunked, news outlets quickly move on to the next scoop, leaving a trail of just-so headlines that later get used as assertions in future content. The fake news is now properly laundered.
Was Buzzfeed's article fake news? Yes, yes it was.
You'll notice that this soft-retraction does not require groups like CNN to correct anything or post corrections to the original article. Instead CNN plays the unbiased observer by simply reporting the news of Mueller's statement, holding both reports (Buzzfeed's original article and Mueller's debunking of the article) as equally relevant (despite being conflicting) news. The original laundered news remains, since it's technically true that Buzzfeed made the claim, regardless of whether the claim itself is accurate.
Now the Cohen-lie is very recent fake news and it has yet to be seen whether the launder mission was completely successful, however we can look at other examples of stories that have been laundered and successfully integrated into the official narrative.
Mr. Krugman does a very fine job of misquoting President Trump here, in his continued hack of a job trying to attach multiple false narratives together to lead you, the reader, to believe that it is Trump and Trump supporters spreading hate. One could argue that misquoting somebody in order to mislead the public is an exercise in hate, but I digress.
Paul Krugman is referring to Trump's statements on the "Unite the Right" march in Charlottesville in 2017, in which white supremacists, antifa agitators, and many others gathered to protest either the removal of a statute, or to protest other protesters protesting the removal of a statute.
In fact, the Unite the Right event is a great example of laundered information that is regularly used to fit the narrative. Many articles have published that Unite the Right was a white supremacist rally, leading to the wikipedia entry as officially listing it as a white supremacist rally. (You can find the list of articles at the bottom of the wiki article). Despite the fact that the rally itself was not originally billed as such, and a majority of those attending were there to protest the removal of a statue, not push for white supremacy.
Many people were there to protest a statue. Now it's simply known as a white supremacist rally. This laundered fact has been used countless times to discredit anything tied to it.
Once again, a source that does not support the argument. But now it is so well laundered, that it is generally accepted that 1. Unite the right was a white supremacist rally, and 2. That trump thinks nazis are very fine people.
The dossier itself has been revealed to be most likely a fake, debunked by Alexander Mercouris and Glenn Greenwald.
This does not matter, as once again, this was simply the placing stage of the fake-news laundering cycle.
I understand the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat – or compromising material – on the next US commander in chief. At the same time a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign.
This is a great example of analyzing the claims without analyzing the veracity of the claims. In essence, news outlets can now operate under the assumption that the sale has already been made.
It's worth noting that the idea that the president would be "vulnerable to blackmail" is ludicrous given the fact that the dossier has already been published.
The Dossier has since been used countless times as a matter of fact, as it is layered and integrated into the official narrative.
CNN Revisiting the Trump-Russia dossier: What's right, wrong and still unclear?
Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele — a former British spy who founded his own opposition research firm in London — to collect information about Trump's ties to Russia from the high-level government sources he had developed during his years working for MI6 in Moscow. The memos Steele wrote between June and November 2016 citing Kremlin officials were sent back to Fusion and compiled into a dossier that was published in full by Buzzfeed in January.
The source is now fully placed and layered. There is no question of veracity, instead news outlets now only give the allegations credibility.
The dossier is laundered news.

Reaching for a new sense of connection
Towards a deeper understanding of the sociality of Generation Y non-believers in Northern and Central Europe
Are you an 'unbeliever'? – Call for Participants
This research project forms one part of Understanding Unbelief*, a major new research programmeaiming to advance the scientific understanding of atheism and other forms of so-called 'unbelief' around the world. Its central research questions concern the nature and diversity of 'unbelief'.
Our project funded by the Understanding Unbelief programme at the University of Kent, made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation will contribute to mapping the diversity of unbelief in Northern and Central Europe by using survey, social media and interview data across six countries (UK, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Norway, and Romania). Surveys show that unbelievers have a distinctive profile compared to the general population on several indicators related to sociality, collective identity and cultural transmission. For example, they tend to rank family as less important, to identify less with people for whom tradition is important, and to be less willing to fight for their country; but more likely to rate friendship as very important.
This evidence suggests a distinctive, less (or differently) embedded, sociality, and lower social conformity, compared to believers. It also suggests a different reading of Bainbridge's (2005: 2) finding that 'atheism is … more common amongst those whose social ties are weak'; kinship and ties to traditional collectivities may be weak, but friendship and other voluntary ties may be as strong or perhaps stronger. So this is the starting point for our investigation: we aim to understand better what appears to be the distinctive sociality of unbelief, in a climate of increased religious visibility and religion-based communal identification (if not participation) at three different scales: at the macro scale, as suggested by survey evidence, at the meso-scale, evidenced through the growth in virtual networks and collective expressions of unbelief, and at the micro-scale, in the biographies (investigated through interview) of a specific age group, Generation Y (born 1982-1999) of self-identified unbelievers.
To assess the role of culture and environment in shaping unbelievers' sociality we will interview people from diverse backgrounds, including post-Communist societies, (eastern Germany, Poland, Romania), environments with strong pressures to religious conformity, (both in the majority culture and minority subcultures); in strong welfare state environments and in less secure contexts; in mixed Christian heritage environments, and with different majority religious heritages (Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox). We will also sample in environments which have experienced rapid (Netherlands) and gradual (UK) secularization, in cosmopolitan and parochial environments (big cities and small towns), and in environments that have high and low levels of unbelief. By interviewing unbelievers in these different situations we will shed light on both the commonalities and differences of experience amongst unbelievers across Northern and Central Europe today, on the formation of unbelieving social networks, and on the diversity of meanings of identification as an unbeliever.
In analysing our data we will bring new theoretical perspectives to the study of unbelief, especially from media and cultural studies, for example in analysing the material and visual culture of unbelief in relation to the heightened visibility of religious symbols in European settings (Göle 2011). We will contribute to building new theory, beginning by using Herbert's theory of religious publicisation (2011), which explains how the heightened visibility of religion in Europe is produced at a time of continuing secularisation amongst majority populations, and identifies a series of changes in media and communications culture which may also help to explain the increased visibility and public identification of unbelievers.

*The Understanding Unbelief programme runs between 2017 and 2019, and is based at the University of Kent. The £2.3m programme is made possible through a grant from the John Templeton Foundation (JTF grant ID#60624), and is a collaboration with St Mary's University Twickenham, Coventry University, Queens University Belfast and the Nonreligion and Secularity Research Network.
In June 2017 the Understanding Unbelief programme awarded funding to 11 project teams. Their diverse projects will explore unbelief from a number of different disciplinary perspectives, including psychology, sociology, anthropology and religious studies. They will investigate unbelief in over 30 countries, working across a wide array of religious and cultural contexts. Participants in the studies will include under-researched populations such as children and young people; people at end of life; BME 'unbelievers'; and non-Western 'unbelievers'.

SOUTH-EAST STATE GOVERNMENTS CONDEMN WITHDRAWAL OF SCHOOL CHILDREN OVER ALLEGED FORCEFUL IMMUNIZATION
There w as panic in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State yesterday as parents and guardians rushed to schools to withdraw their children and wards over alleged deadly monkey pox vaccination in the schools.
The incident resulted in some schools hurriedly shutting their gates while many children in public schools ran to their homes for safety.
Investigations reveal that the panic was triggered by a rumor that a medical personnel who carried out a deadly monkey pox vaccination in some schools in one of the states in the south East were on their way to Ebonyi State.
Some of the parents including Mr. Martins Nworie and Mr. Christopher Egbe explained that they were alerted by their relations who were living in Anambra and Enugu States about the development.
Another version of the rumour claimed that some pupils had already been injected at Saint Patrick's Primary School, Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki and lost consciousness thereafter.
However, the Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Chioma Okoye described the allegation as false.
Two pupils who were in the school explained that they were not worried about the development as it was a mere rumour.
Worried by the situation, the State Commissioner for Education, Professor John Eke took to radio to dispel the rumour while his Health counterpart, Dr. Daniel Umezurike explained that his investigation showed that no such vaccination took place anywhere in the state.
Dr Umezurike appealed to the people of the State not to panic about monkey pox outbreak in some States as Ebonyi State Government had put in place measures to prevent it from spreading to the State.
In Imo State, Parents and Guardians hurried to schools in the area to pick their children and wards to avoid getting the alleged vaccine.
When some private and public schools within Owerri and its environs were visited by our correspondent, the premises were deserted as students and pupils had called off academic activities in the schools leaving only the teachers.
Proprietors of some of the schools in the state however did not allow the students and pupils to leave the school premises before the official dismissal time for what they described as baseless rumour.
Meanwhile, Imo State Government has issued a statement urging residents of the area to disregard the rumour as no such exercise was ongoing on in the area.
In a similar vein, the Enugu State Government says withdrawal of Pupils and students from schools by parents in the State following an alleged forceful immunization is uncalled for.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe stated this while addressing newsmen on the alleged forceful immunization of pupils by unidentified persons.
He maintained that there was no immunization going on in any school in the state and advised parents and guardians to return their children and wards to school.
Also, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Fintan Ekochin said the government was not carrying out any immunization against monkey pox, noting that there was no vaccine for the disease.
Dr Ekochin advised residents against unnecessary panic as monkey pox was not a major health challenge to the medical profession.
He explained that the Ministry of Health was on watch out against any communicable disease and called on the people to imbibe the culture of cleanliness.
Also, the Anambra State Government has described as false, rumours making the rounds that the Nigerian Army Medical outreach to the area was administering deadly vaccines on school children.
The State Commissioner for Health, Doctor Joe Akabuike stated this while addressing newsmen shortly after visiting the site of the medical outreach at Saint Michael's Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area.
Doctor Akabuike said the programme was a mission where the army distributed items such as drugs, insecticide treated nets, lenses and carried out medical counseling as well as physiotherapy.
He attributed issues that emanated from the outreach to communication gap, noting that no life was lost as alleged.
Doctor Akabuike reassured school authorities, parents, students and pupils that there was nothing to fear, urging the schools to proceed with their normal academic activities.
Meanwhile, Radio Nigeria Enugu had a telephone interactive with Army Spokesperson, Eighty-Two Division Nigerian Army, Enugu, Colonel Sagir Musa on the rumour making rounds that the Military was going to schools in the South East to vaccine the children against monkey pox which he described as falsehood.

Geocaching is a treasure hunt! It's an outdoor activity that combines hiking and exploring using a hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate either virtual or actual treasure caches.
Geocaches come in many forms—from water bottles to cans, as long as it is a covered, water-proof container.
Depending on the size of the geocache container, often people will leave little trinkets (key chains or mini toys). Geocachers will remove the loot and replace it with other cool stuff for you to find! Food is not allowed inside geocache containers.
How do I find caches on the trail?
Log in or Sign up - its free!
What do I do after I find a cache?
Inside the cache will be a logbook for you to record your find. If there is treasure inside, you can take it, but make sure you also leave something in its place. Remember to hide the cache exactly how you found it for the next geocacher to find! Then when you get home, you can post your find and share your experience on geocaching.com.
Minnesota statutes state that outdoor recreation activities that do not cause material disturbance to a park's natural features or introduce undue artificiality into the natural scene may be permitted. As long as caches are placed in locations that do not negatively impact natural or cultural resources, visitor safety or other park users are acceptable.

Watch Ben-Hur (1959) online in HD quality and free on Tornado Movies!
The life of a noble Jewish merchant from a wealthy and well known family, Judah Ben Hur, has been changed completely, upon the arrival of his best friend, Messala, with whom he was separated years ago, and hates Judah, as he makes a conspiracy against him and sent him to slavery.
February 12, 2014 Some critics believe that William Wyler's box-office smash is no match for the 1925 silent version, but there's no denying that the race that forms the famous climax is one of the most iconic sequences in Hollywood history.
December 13, 2006 Entire new frontiers in boredom were opened up by this MGM whopper from 1959.
February 13, 2001 A majestic achievement, representing a superb blending of the motion picture arts by master craftsmen.
June 05, 2002 If we later came to realize that movies could be a whole lot better than Ben-Hur, that still doesn't detract from the enjoyment the film still provides.
January 01, 2015 Although it is a spectacle film, the story of how a man takes on the tyranny of the Romans, with all sorts of horrible consequences to himself and his family, is powerful and gripping.
January 26, 2006 The movie could be trying to say that for some people religion is an escape from their sexuality, but it seems unlikely.
August 22, 2008 The biggest and the best of Hollywood's super-spectacles.
May 20, 2003 Mr. Wyler and his money-free producers have smartly and effectively laid stress on the powerful and meaningful personal conflicts that are strong in this old heroic tale.
September 09, 2014 1959 Biblical epic has fierce blood-spilling, cruelty.
December 06, 2016 The most egregiously boring movie ever graced with the Best Picture Oscar... though in fairness, egregious boredom is one of the cornerstones of the Bible epic genre.

Tullamore had home advantage for their 1st league game of the 2011/2012 season. With 6 weeks pre-season training behind them Tullamore were confident going into this game despite missing key players Ruth Brophy and Deirdre Rigney through injury and other 1st team regulars Kirby Cox, Patricia Friend Periera and Sonia Matthews.
Tullamore's eagerness shone through in the opening minutes with a powerful shot on goal from centre forward Niamh Redmond. Tullamore continued to work hard with Grace Brennan and Emma Delahunt leading the defence. The next goal chance of the game also fell to Tullamores Niamh Redmond after an impressive pass from central midfielder Sabrina Carroll, but the Monkstown defence could not be broken.
Tullamore's best chance of the game came after a well earned short corner and it was Emma Delahunt who narrowly shot wide. After this the travelling side began to settle into the game and they were awarded a succession of short corners. Tullamore defence stood strong again with clearances from Yvonne Murray, Monica Cleary and Grace Brennan. Goalkeeper Clodagh Armitage also pulled off some fantastic saves. Minutes from the end of the half Monkstown took the lead when their centre forward took a deflection into the goal. Tullamore were unlucky to be behind at the break.
After some encouraging words from coach Peter Kings at half time, Tullamore continued to pile on the pressure looking for that well deserved equaliser. The midfield line of Aideen Mahon, Sabrina Carroll and debutant Ailish Redmond started to take back control. Forwards Ciara Geogeghan and Kate O' Brien started to settle into the game and Tullamore were very unlucky not to get an equaliser in the opening 10 minutes of the half. From here Monkstown started to stamp their authority on the game and went two up 15 minutes from the end. However Tullamore did not give up and took their 1st goal of the season when Sabrina Carroll collected an Ailish Redmond pass 30 metres from goal, soloed and sent a rasping shot to the corner of the net . Tullamore continued to battle and their next chance came when Monica Cleary earned a well deserved free, Monica shot into the circle but the ball was deflected wide.
Although Tullamore did not pick up any points they will be pleased with their performance. Thanks to coaches Peter Kings and Ann Corcoran. Tullamore's 1st team are away next week to Pembroke Wanders and Tullamore's 2nds are also away to Newbridge. Both teams are wished the best of luck.
Tullamore 1sts: Clodagh Armitate, Yvonne Murray, Grace Brennan, Emma Delahunt, Monica Cleary, Aideen Mahon, Sabrina Carroll, Ailish Redmond, Ciara Geogeghan, Niamh Redmond, Kate O'Brien, Coleen Connolly.


Belly talk: is belly dancing just a passing phase?
Many students start belly dancing for the wrong reason but it seems and most of the time is a good reason at the time. You might have broken up with a guy or are bored ... etc and you decided to take on something more fun, exotic ... You might never have had any interest in dancing in the past and all of a sudden you are IN IT!
Some find this enjoyable and discover a love for something they never thought they enjoyed. Others are disappointed about their performance and progress but maybe the problem is not in their learning abilities but rather in the fact they even started the art of belly dancing for completely wrong reasons.
This is my take on the last category. Let me know what you think.

How the Media Can Better Inform the Public About Zika
Thousands of people living in the continental United States and U.S. territories are infected with Zika virus, but many Americans continue to hold mistaken beliefs about Zika, how it is transmitted, what risks it poses, and what can and should be done to protect against it.
In an effort to address the public need for accurate and important information about Zika, the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania has released "A Guide to Effective Zika Coverage," a free, downloadable PDF that sets out best practices and examples for broadcasters, reporters, editors and writers covering the Zika outbreak. The guide aims to help the media provide essential information to the public and policymakers so that they can better understand the virus and its health risks.
While 79 percent of U.S. adults are familiar with news reports about Zika, 70 percent have not taken any steps to protect themselves from it, according to the Annenberg Science Knowledge (ASK) survey conducted August 4-8, 2016. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises taking steps to prevent Zika, especially among pregnant women, who are most at risk because the virus can be transmitted to the fetus, causing microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects.
"At a minimum, media stories about Zika should contain a link to the CDC's prevention guidelines," said APPC director Kathleen Hall Jamieson, who directs the ASK survey and Zika project.
The ASK survey, which has been conducted since February, has found a great deal of public misinformation about Zika, including these misconceptions:
36 percent of the public incorrectly thinks that an adult with Zika is likely to die from it (people very rarely die of it, the CDC says);
46 percent of the public incorrectly thinks that people with Zika always have noticeable symptoms (4 out of 5 people have no symptoms and symptoms, if they occur, are usually mild, the CDC says);
28 percent of the public incorrectly thinks that, according to scientists, you are likely to get Zika if someone who has it sneezes or coughs on you (Zika is usually transmitted by a bite from an infected mosquito, or it can be sexually transmitted, according to the CDC).
There are more than 1,950 continental U.S. cases of Zika reported, mostly from travel abroad, and 6,600 cases in U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, according to the CDC. Florida officials have identified over 20 locally transmitted cases thought to have come from infected mosquitoes.
Effective Zika coverage by the media
The "Guide to Effective Zika Coverage" is designed to help the media address these issues and is built around three principles:
Communicate consequential information, including facts about the virus, prevention, transmission and effects;
Cite and link to credible sources of information, especially CDC guidelines;
Visualize prevention, showing behaviors that prevent the spread of Zika.
The guide also includes medium-specific recommendations, like using photo captions in print and background visuals on TV to convey information about prevention and transmission, and aggregating coverage online. The guide to Zika coverage can be viewed and downloaded here.
The Annenberg Science Knowledge survey cited in the media guide and this news release was conducted by phone from August 4-8, 2016 among 1,470 U.S. adults by the research firm SSRS for the Annenberg Public Policy Center. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.6 percentage points. For the data, click here. The ASK survey, conducted since February, tracks public knowledge about Zika and other science issues related to public policy. It is directed by Jamieson and managed by APPC managing director of survey research Ken Winneg.

Israelis launch construction of illegal outpost near Ibrahimi Mosque
Hordes of Israeli settlers on Monday morning set the foundations for a new illegal settlement outpost in al-Sahla area, to the south of the Ibrahimi Mosque, in al-Khalil.
Head of al-Khalil rehabilitation committee, Imad Hamdan, said Israeli settlers set metal foundations on a Palestinian pitch near al-Ibrahimi Mosque, paving the way for the construction of an Jewish-only ghetto.
According to Hamdan, the Israeli project covers an area of up to 500 square meters.
Earlier, the Israeli occupation army seized parts of the pitch and turned it into a military site.
Hamdan added that the move makes part of underway attempts, by the occupation authorities and settler gangs, to crack down on the Palestinians and force them out of the area so as to facilitate the misappropriation of their land and speed up the Judaization of the occupied territories.
The al-Ibrahimi playfield is located in al-Sahla area, in al-Khalil's Old City, in the southern occupied West Bank.
Israeli army resumes construction of apartheid fence along Gaza border
The Israeli occupation army is about to resume the construction of an apartheid fence along the borders between Gaza and the Green Line, Hebrew-speaking Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported Monday.
According to the newspaper, two Israeli companies will complete the construction of the border fence at an estimated budget of up to $55 million per every company.
The decision was opted for following a visit paid by senior officers at the Israeli war ministry to the area to inspect the first section of the wall built in the initial test phase.
The Israeli occupation army decided to construct a new offensive line along the borders with blockaded Gaza allegedly to rein in underground tunnels dug up by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
The plan includes the construction of an under-and-above-ground concrete wall at dozens of meters over and under the ground and 60 kilometers length.
According to data by the Israeli Ministry of Public Security, the apartheid wall will cost $550 million. Other parties estimated that the project will cost up to one billion and a quarter dollars.
Israel plans to build 500 settlement units in OJ
The Israeli Planning and building committee is scheduled to discuss on Wednesday a new plan to build 500 settlement units in Ramat Shlomo settlement established on private Palestinian land, Haaretz Hebrew newspaper revealed Monday.
The plan to build 500 houses includes expropriation of private Palestinian land; Jerusalem municipality is planning to establish additional projects beyond Green Line in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election as U.S. president, the newspaper wrote.
The plan includes the construction of 500 homes in an area of 76 dunums located between Ramat Shlomo settlement and Shufat neighborhood, according to the sources.
The Israeli municipality in occupied Jerusalem said that it will confiscate private Palestinian lands for the implementation of the settlement project.
The plan had been approved two years ago; however, it was suspended due to U.S. pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli occupation authorities have earlier declared intention to build more than 30,000 settlement outposts in occupied Jerusalem after Donald Trump's election as U.S. president.
Israel to build thousands of housing units after Trump's swearing-in
An Israeli newspaper has revealed that the Israeli government intends to build more than 30,000 housing units in east Jerusalem after US president-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office in January 2017.
According to the new Israeli plans, 15,000 housing units will be built in place of the Jerusalem-Qalandiya airport, and other thousands will be in the industrial zone of Qalandiya (Atarot) and hundreds in Ramot and Gilo settlements.
Meir Turgeman, deputy head of Israel's municipal authority in Occupied Jerusalem, told Kol Ha'ir newspaper that these settlement plans had been frozen over the last two years because of pressures by the international community and the outgoing US administration.
But now, he says, he is filing the construction plans for approval by the Israeli competent authorities.
Israeli court approves confiscation of Palestinian private land
The Israeli Supreme Court rejected Wednesday an appeal filed by Palestinian villagers over Israel's confiscation of their agricultural land east of Qalqilia.
The Palestinian committee against Apartheid Wall and settlement construction said Thursday that an Israeli court rejected yesterday an appeal submitted by residents of occupied West Bank villages of al-Nabi Elyas, Azzun, and Ezbet Atabib against the Israeli confiscation of their lands.
In December 2015, Israeli authorities issued a military order to confiscate 104 dunums of Qalqilia lands to build a road.
The Palestinian residents filed an appeal against the order, stressing that the land confiscation would only benefit Israeli settlers in the area.
Britain expresses concern over Israeli land regulation bill
Britain's Foreign Office minister, Tobias Ellwood, expressed Thursday deep concern over "the land regulation bill in the Israeli Knesset to legalize settlement outposts across the West Bank."
"We are deeply concerned by the land regulation bill in the Israeli Knesset to 'legalize' settlement outposts across the West Bank," Ellwood said in a statement issued today.
Such outposts are currently illegal under both Israeli domestic law and international humanitarian law. Should this proposal go ahead, it would seriously undermine prospects for a two-state solution, the statement said.
Ellwood urged the Israeli government to "reconsider the land regulation bill at the earliest opportunity."
The so-called "Israeli land regulation bill" was approved by the Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday and will now go to the Knesset for approval.
The international community has vehemently opposed Israeli construction in areas Israel occupied in 1967, saying it undermines the prospects of a two-state solution.
Barghouthi: Israel's intent to legalize 120 outposts "serious crime"
Secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa al-Barghouthi has condemned the Israeli government's decision to legalize 120 settler outposts in the West Bank as "a serious crime," and called for confronting it.
"Legitimizing 120 settler outposts means that there will be 120 new settlements to be expanded in the West Bank and Jerusalem," Barghouthi stated on Monday.
"Israel is racing against time to impose a new fait accompli on the ground in order to torpedo the idea of establishing an independent Palestinian state," the Palestinian official added.
He accused the Israeli government's ministers of competing with each other to show who could be more extremist and racist than the other towards the Palestinian people and their holy sites, pointing to the recent attempts at the Knesset to ban the use of loudspeakers to recite Adhan (call to prayer) at Palestinian Mosques.
Barghouthi also slammed Israel as "being worse than the apartheid regime that existed in the past in South Africa."
Israeli court rejects appeal to postpone Amona eviction
The Israeli Supreme Court rejected Monday an Israeli government's appeal to postpone the eviction of Amona illegal settlement in West Bank.
Yesh Din human rights organization affirmed that the Supreme Court approved the eviction of Amona settlement by December 25 since it was built on private Palestinian land.
"The evacuation must occur before December 25," the court said in its ruling on Monday. "The court rejects the delay requested by the state."
The high court ruled in 2014 that Amona, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank, must be evacuated.
With the Amona deadline in mind, a committee of Israeli ministers on Sunday approved a bill that would allow the establishment of settlement homes on private Palestinian lands.

The Company recorded a net loss of $2,682,456 or $0.05 per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 ("2009"), compared with a net loss of $23,160,385 or $0.43 per share for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2008 ("2008"). The Company's cash balance as at December 31, 2009 was $13.6 million, compared to $17.8 million at year end 2008; the decrease was mainly due to the Company's exploration expenditures on its properties in Brazil and Canada. Working capital at the end of 2009 was $13.1 million compared to working capital of $17.5 million at December 31, 2008.
The Company's exploration and operating budget for 2010 is estimated at $7.8 million, including planned exploration expenditures of $2.7 million at the Rio Novo copper-gold property, $2.2 million at the Kaoko copper property and the Company's general and administrative costs.
At Rio Novo, a diamond drill program commenced in December 2009. Four drill holes were completed at the RN-7 target, with assays pending. The 2010 drill program is estimated at 4,450 metres, which includes the completed drill program at RN-7 and drill programs at the RN-5 and RN-11 target areas, scheduled to commence after the rainy season, which typically ends in April. Further soil sampling and IP surveys over selected areas are also planned. An auger drill program is planned for the Rio Novo north area to assess the potential of the area. The boundary of the Rio Novo North claim is located approximately 2 kilometres west of the well known Serra Pelada gold and precious metals deposit.
The planned 2010 exploration program at Kaoko consists of a reverse circulation drill program totalling approximately 5,100 metres at the high priority target areas of Okohongo, Manuela and Horseshoe. Drilling is expected to begin at Okohongo after the rainy season, which also typically ends in April, and results will be released once they have been received and evaluated. Regional mapping is planned at various targets throughout the year, with additional mapping recently completed at Okohongo to aid in the definition of specific drill targets. INV expects to complete IP surveys at Horseshoe, Oravanjai, Otjohorowara and Sesfontein. A stream sediment sampling program began in late 2009 at two target areas (Ozombombo and Onganga) for which results are pending.

May 16, 2017 Sean R Canada, News 0
Bell is apologizing to its customers after 1.9 million email addresses and approximately 1,700 names and phone numbers were stolen from a company database.
The information appears to have been posted online, but the company could not confirm the leaked data was one and the same.
Bell, the country's largest telecommunications company, attributed the incident to "an anonymous hacker," and says it is working with the RCMP to investigate the breach.
"There is no indication that any financial, password or other sensitive personal information was accessed," the company wrote in a statement. Bell said the incident was unrelated to the massive spike in ransomware infections that affected an estimated 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries late last week.
It is not clear when the breach occurred, how the data was accessed, or how long the attacker had access to Bell's systems.
In 2014, the RCMP charged a Quebec youth after a Bell contractor was breached and 22,421 user names and passwords and five valid credit card numbers were posted online.
Attacker warns 'more will leak'
A person or group alleging to be behind the attack wrote in a post online that they were "releasing a significant portion of Bell.ca's data due to the fact that they have failed to cooperate with us."
"This shows how Bell doesn't care for its customers safety and they could have avoided this public announcement," the post continues. "Bell, if you don't cooperate more will leak :)"
The post links to a set of files containing a long list of email addresses and related customer information that appear similar in size and substance to Bell's description of the stolen data — but also includes phone numbers, locations, job titles and other pieces of information about more than 150 supposed Bell contractors and employees.
When reached by phone, Bell's director of communications Marc Choma told CBC News that he couldn't comment on the incident or the apparent archive of leaked data because the investigation was continuing.
RCMP spokesperson Harold Pfleiderer responded in an email, "Generally, only in the event that an investigation results in the laying of criminal charges, would the RCMP confirm its investigation, the nature of any charges laid and the identity of the individual(s) involved.

HomenewsSample essay papersSave Darfur
Save Darfur
The conflict in Darfur has become the subject of the concern of international community practically since the beginning of active military actions. At the same time, the international community responded in different ways on the conflict for some countries, such as the US declared that the conflict in Darfur is in its essence a genocide, while other countries did not define the conflict as genocide but, instead, preferred to label it as a conflict which is accompanied by numerous violations of human rights and violence. In actuality, the genocide nature of the conflict was obvious but the international community has not undertaken really effective measures to prevent it. In such a situation, the actions of the UN were severely criticized because it refused to define the conflict in Darfur as genocide, while its peacekeeping efforts were apparently insufficient to stop mass murders and oppression of specific ethnic groups.
In order to understand the essence of the conflict in Darfur and reveal its genocidal nature, it is necessary to briefly dwell upon its background that will help better assess the actions of the UN in relation to the actions of the Sudanese government and forces supported by the government. In this respect, it should be said that the conflict in Darfur has broken out between representatives of two different ethnic groups, Arab and non-Arab. The former were represented by military and militia and the Sudanese government provided Arab ethnic group with ample financial and technical support, while the rebellious opponents represented black population of Sudan and were severely oppressed by the forces supported by the Sudanese officials.
Moreover, the operations of the militia and military against the rebels were accompanied by numerous murders of the civilian population of Sudan and the victims were non-Arab people, even though they had no relation to clandestine activity or opposition. In this respect, it is possible to refer to the UN data, according to which in the result of conflict 450.000 people died from violence and disease, while Sudan government claims that there had been just 9.000 deaths since the beginning of the conflict (Prunier, 211). Obviously, the official Sudanese data are underestimated, while the data of UN and non-governmental organizations are not very precise because the Sudanese government actively opposes to the investigation of the situation in Darfur by the UN specialists and other non-governmental organizations. In fact, the unwillingness of the Sudanese government to admit foreign observers to the region of the conflict may be viewed as an indirect evidence of the genocide of non-Arab population of Darfur.
On the other hand, even those scarce data that had been collected within the period of the conflict proved the fact that the conflict in Darfur may be characterized as the policy of genocide and the US repeatedly raised this problem on the international level appealing to the world community and the UN, in particular, to undertake active steps to prevent the further genocide of non-Arab population of Darfur. However, the UN tended to take a neutral position in regard to the genocide and, instead, this international organization stood on the ground that the conflict is a purely military conflict which had nothing to do with genocide. Such a position of the UN was absolutely contrasting to the position of non-governmental organizations and mass media which described the conflict as both �ethnic cleanings�� and �genocide�� (Prunier, 296).
In stark contrast, the UN reports defined the conflict in Darfur as non-genocidal. To put it more precisely, in 2005 the UN report stated that while there were mass murders and rapes, they could not label it as genocide because �genocidal intent appears to be missing�� (Report, 67). Or even later, when the genocide grew stronger in Darfur, the UN Commission found that �technically there was not genocide in the legal sense of the term but that massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law were continuing�� (Ki-moon, 113). These reports prove the fact that the perception and interpretation of the conflict by the UN was inadequate since, in addition to numerous murders of non-Arab population, there were 1.6 million people internally removed, while mass executions became a norm.
In the result of the unwillingness of the UN to define the conflict as genocide the measures undertaken by the UN were also insufficient to stop the conflict because it was obvious that ill-equipped 7.000 troop African Union Mission in Sudan peacekeeping force was unable to stop the conflict and ongoing genocide, while the efforts of the UN to strengthen its military contingent in the area by a new 17.300 troop UN peacekeeping force faced a strong opposition from the part of Sudan.
Thus, it is obvious that the passive position of the UN in the Darfur conflict led to the numerous deaths and crimes against humanity which may be characterized as genocide.

How To Fix 'The North'?
Thread starter Speedy
Over the past few days, I've been reading up on the Lord Kerslow headed UK2070 Commission's findings.
It has produced various reports, which you can download from here - Publications | The UK2070 Commission and they produce some quite shocking results. It is far easier to read these two articles to get an idea of the content:
The government must invest in the North | Public Finance
North-south divide is now so bad it's like 'Germany at the end of the Cold War'
Essentially, the govt (of various types) has had a policy when it came to capital projects in that there must he a positive return. This favoured London and the SE over the north with the gap widening as more money was spent making the south 'nice' via the public purse, whilst the north has suffered, while still paying for the south to be nicer, well as nice as a selfish, pollution ridden expensive, unfriendly and over expensive region can be, and this has been going on for so long now (many decades) that there has been little to no investment in areas of northern England and has almost become an official policy to not invest outside of the London\southern bubble.
Lord Kerslow has even said that due to this policy the north and south gap has resulted in a situation very similar to the old East and West Germany when the wall came down when it comes to economic and life differences.
I know Boris has laid out his plan to ditch this clearly failing policy and begin investment in the north, but what I'd like to figure out is, where to begin?
I mean we've had almost two generations here now since the heavy industry began to be stripped out and closed down and many towns live in a permanent state of 'bleak'.
It's not as if there are not decent jobs up here, there are and many of my friends are engineers (proper ones!) or in other professional roles, but there seems little else for those not so inclined. Public transport outside of major cities is variable and the lack of investment in transport is visible.
They are building a new bypass here on the western edge of Preston which will link Blackpool Road to the M55. This was originally planned to be built in the 70's! The M55 currently has junction one at Preston and Junction 3 at Kirkham. Junction 2 was never built. But now they are. 45 years late!
Sensible answers only please, but I'm damned if I know where to start without Manchester, Leeds etc. swallowing up any investment and just recreating the problem all over again.
The universe doesn't care what you believe.
The wonderful thing about science is that it doesn't ask for your faith, it just asks for your eyes.

Fix the North?
A BFO canal between the Wash and the River Severn...
Manchester, Liverpool, and to a lesser extent Leeds have been tech hubs, there is work there, and it's the sort of work we as a nation do well, so for it to flourish outside of London means the demand is there
As driving to those places is a mare in rush hour, anything to improve public transports into those areas and making commuting easier and more affordable would be one move
Something the government has said they will address, but the investment hasn't happened yet

The simple answer is to permit fracking and re-establish an energy industry in the part of the country that was originally built on having an energy industry.
It would also have the entirely satisfactory result of greater energy self-sufficiency and reducing energy imports, particularly from such kindly and freedom-loving locations as Qatar.
'Men sail a boundless and bottomless sea. There is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place nor appointed destination. The enterprise is to keep afloat on an even keel.' - Michael Oakeshott
Much of the issue is down to both Parties when they were in power. Both saw the meaning of capital spending is that it should be done in or around the Capital - London!
I don't think it's helped in that they have been electrifying quite a few of the 'smaller' railway lines around here in the past few years, but it all seems to be in a way that makes the other towns in the NW feeders for Manchester.
Liverpool has a HUGE problem when it comes to rail communting from outside of Liverpool, due to Merseyside (once devolved from Lancashire in the 70's) forming their own rail network and physically dividing the lines between the nationional rail network and their own in many places. The only way you can really get into Liverpool from the national network is to Lime Street and on trains that are a pain to catch and slow.
FORMER_FYRDMAN said:
Genuine question, is there a possibility of economically feasible fracking in the north of England?
I suppose, as you say, a region that once was the centre of the world's manufacturing industry because it sat on a ginormous stock of readily available fossil fuel must have something there, but how would it compare say with the tar sands of Canada? Is there really potential for economic fracking?
As I say, it's a genuine question, I had no idea there was any real potential there.

Put it this way, the site in Lancashire was about 10 mins from my house and everyone local wanted it. The 'protesters' were basically a rent-a-mob of people from a large distance away. By all accounts, Greenpeace were paying for them to be naughty.
The only 'locals' were from nearby villages (I say nearby, there were somtimes miles away) concerned about their house price. In fact, many were not even from Lancashire orginally and had blagged large affordable houses with their ill-gotten southern gains.
The site itself was small and if you drive past it now you'd never notice it unless you knew where to look.

In answer to your previous question - nobody knows for sure. Without a series of fracking and flow tests it is not really possible to know for certain whether there are economically recoverable reserves there.
I'm not sure how you mean to compare the shale reserves in Northern England to Canadian tar sands. If the shale reserves in N. England can be economically recovered, it can be done with very moderate environmental impact, which is just the opposite of producing from tar sands.

It's been over five years but the quick answer then was yes and very little's changed - if anything gas processing has become even more sophisticated. The UK could also develop a very lucrative supplier and contractor sector too, particular in the design and manufacture of drilling rigs more appropriate to European conditions. It needs political will though and Boris is signed up to his green fantasies.

Due to the transparent nature of the Auctus Platform, users will be better informed about the characteristics of their pension. It will be possible to create different investment profiles with different allocation limits, according to a participant's preference.
Participants will have the guarantee of being able to move some, or all, of their pension funds under the terms defined in the smart contracts and will be protected by the immutability of the smart contract.
The retirement grant can be automatically triggered when a participant fills the requirements of the plan. Also, with Auctus, a participant can define the beneficiaries who will receive the resources in case of death, calculated according to rules defined in smart contracts, which will, in turn, facilitate family succession planning.
As for the management of resources, all investment allocation limits and fee charges will also be established in smart contracts, making it impossible for investment managers to deviate funds and charge hidden fees. Usually, pension funds charge administration fees on contributions, or fund assets, but these fees will also be defined by smart contracts, eliminating the possibility of hidden fees, which is a common problem of investment funds.
Governance mechanisms will be designed to allow greater member participation in the control of the allocation of resources, establishing, for example, the vote in an election of the members of the board, or to approve investment policy changes.

GNOME developers create Boxes for virtualisation
With greater use of virtual machines and remote machine connections, GNOME developers are working on a new integration for the desktop environment under the name Boxes. The Boxes design offers a single environment to create boxes which can be local or remote virtual machines or remote SPICE protocol sessions on other machines. The developers have been working on a Vala-based implementation of Boxes and improving the libvirt and spice-gtk foundation. They have now announced their first release of the early code and have a screencast demonstrating the application's capabilities.
Boxes in action
Developer Zeeshan Ali Khattak (aka Zeenix) explains in a blog posting that, although the developers already use virt-manager and that addressed the needs of a enterprise-level system administrator, there was a need for a virtualisation and remote connection application for the more typical end-user and that need could be met with Boxes. As the project is "still in its infancy", there are a lot of issues – the biggest one currently being the breaking of floppy support in Qemu. With the newly implemented UI, though, users are already able to create and destroy virtual machines or remote system connections with equal ease. The developers are looking for help to work on the UI and to enhance the C libraries, libosinfo and libvirt-glib, which the project relies upon. They would like, for example, help in creating an API to deal with libvirt's use of XML for configuration.
