San Francisco To Ban Sales Of E-Cigarettes
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is slated to vote Tuesday to ban the sale and distribution of e-cigarettes in the city. The city is the corporate home of Juul Labs, the biggest producer of e-cigarettes in the country.
The ordinances would make the sale of e-cigarettes illegal in brick-and-mortar stores and online when shipping to San Francisco addresses.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed has 10 days to sign the legislation, which she has said she will do. The law will be enforced seven months from that date, in early 2020.
San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton, who co-authored the legislation, sees it as part of a long-term battle against the effects of smoking.
"We spent a few decades fighting big tobacco in the form of cigarettes," Walton said. "Now we have to do it again in the form of e-cigarettes."
Under federal law, the minimum age to buy tobacco products is 18. California and 15 other states, however, have raised that age to 21 or passed measures that will set it to 21 by 2021. Despite this, use of e-cigarettes, or vaping, has skyrocketed among teenagers nationally.
Last year, 1 in 5 high school seniors reported vaping in the past month. That's almost double the number from the year before. Even eighth graders are vaping in record numbers.
These increases come after years of declines in teenagers smoking traditional cigarettes.
[khn_slabs slabs="790331″ view="inline"]
Public health officials are concerned about the rising number of teenagers using e-cigarettes, as nicotine can harm a young person's developing brain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that young people who vape may be more likely to start smoking traditional cigarettes.
Walton said he's disgusted with the actions of Juul and similar companies, who he said are "putting profits before the health of young people, and people in general."
Despite the tobacco age limit, Walton noted that vaping devices are commonly confiscated from students in the city's middle and high schools.
The ordinance is accompanied by another that prevents the manufacture, distribution and sale of e-cigarettes on San Francisco property. The ordinance takes direct aim at Juul Labs, which leases space from the city on San Francisco's Pier 70. The ordinance is not retroactive, so it would not remove Juul from the company's current space, but it would prevent other e-cigarette makers from renting city property in the future. In a statement, Juul spokesman Ted Kwong wrote that, regardless, the company does not "manufacture, distribute or sell our product from this space."
Juul's vaping device was introduced in 2015. It's small, sleek and discreet, looking similar to a flash drive. The company now controls 70% of the vaping market.
In a statement, Juul Labs said it shares the city's goal of keeping e-cigarettes away from young people. The company said it has made it harder for underage buyers to purchase Juul off its website and has shut down Juul accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
But, the company argues that "the prohibition of vapor products for all adults in San Francisco will not effectively address underage use and will leave cigarettes on shelves as the only choice for adult smokers, even though they kill 40,000 Californians every year."
Walton doesn't buy that argument, however. He said that's simply "trading one nicotine addiction for another." What's more, he's concerned that for every adult that might benefit, dozens of young people could become addicted.
San Francisco resident Jay Friedman said the complete e-cigarette ban goes too far. The software engineer smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years, and smoking e-cigarettes has reduced his regular cigarette habit to two to three a day. He said he feels better physically.
Friedman supported a ban on flavored tobacco that city voters passed last year. "I feel like it was good to get rid of the fruit flavors for kids," he said, "but this feels like maybe a step too far."
If e-cigarettes are banned, he said, he would try to quit nicotine altogether. But, "there would be a point in a moment of weakness where I'd just end up buying a pack of smokes again and then it's just a slippery slope from there."
Small businesses in San Francisco are concerned the ban will hurt their bottom line.
Miriam Zouzounis and her family own Ted's Market, a convenience store near downtown San Francisco. She said e-cigarettes are an "anchor" product: They draw people into the store.
"When people come and want to purchase something at the store and we don't have that exact item that they want, they're not going to buy the rest of the items that they might on that trip: a drink or a sandwich," Zouzounis said.
She said sales from e-cigarettes account for at least $200 to $300 a day in sales. As a board member of the Arab American Grocers Association, she said she believes laws like this mostly affect businesses owned by immigrants.
Abbey Chaitin is a 15-year-old lifelong San Francisco resident. She isn't drawn to using e-cigarettes, she said, because she has seen peers become addicted to them.
"I'll see them in class fidgeting," Chaitin said. "They need it to focus, to function."
And Chaitin predicted that, regardless of a ban, young people will still get their hands on e-cigarettes: "People my age can find a way around that if they really need to," she said.
Meanwhile, Juul is collecting signatures for a November ballot initiative to override the ban.

A meeting between the top US negotiator in long-stalled North Korean nuclear disarmament talks and his North Korean counterpart is possible, the State Department said Monday, as envoys worked to convene a new round of negotiations. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill is in Beijing to discuss restarting talks that have been deadlocked for more than a year; a meeting with Kim Kye Gwan, North Korea's vice foreign minister, is "certainly an open possibility," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. After talks between Hill and Kim last month, North Korea agreed to return to the arms negotiations that involve the Koreas, the United States, Russia, Japan and China. The decision followed North Korea's first nuclear test on Oct. 9.

Home News Iranian Opposition Iraqi official: Badr Org. of Maliki's coalition massacred Iranians in Camp Liberty
Iraqi official: Badr Org. of Maliki's coalition massacred Iranians in Camp Liberty
Abdolhossein Abtan, made the revelation on April 25 in an interview published by the state-run Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated to the regime's terrorist Quds Force.
Abtan said: "The attack on Camp Liberty a few months ago was carried out by the Badr Organizations' militants and I can now reveal that."
Abtan, who holds Iranian and Danish citizenships and is touted as a candidate for the Iraqi premiership, is deputy to ISCI leader Ammar Hakim.
The Badr Organization previously known as the Badr Brigades or Badr Corps, was set up by the Iranian regime's Revolutionary Guards Crop (IRGC) in 1982.
Hadi al-Ameri, who heads Badr Organization, is currently al-Maliki's Minister of Transport. He accompanied Maliki during his 2011 visit to the United States and his meeting with President Obama.

During the past three decades, the Badr Organization has been involved in hundreds of terrorist operations. The group had a principal role in the planning and execution of some 150 terrorist operations targeting the PMOI during the period 1992-2003, leaving a large number dead and wounded.
The official state-run Tabnak website affiliated with the former commander of the IRGC, Mohsen Rezaei, wrote on May 13, 2009: "After the [1979 Iranian] revolution, Esmail Daghayeghi (an IRGC commander) founded the 9th Badr Division with the help of his old friend, Mohsen Rezaei. It later became known as the Badr Corps."
According January 27, 2007 issue of Sobhe Sadegh, an IRGC publication, former IRGC commander in Chief, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said: "The Badr Brigade, which was later turned into a division and after that into the Badr Corps, was founded by the IRGC's Esmail Daghayeghi, who was killed during the Iran-Iraq war."
Following the revelation of the Badr Organization's involvement in the attack on Camp Liberty, which was widely published in the Iranian regime's state-run news outlets, the Habilian Association, a branch of the Iranian regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), published a report on April 29, 2014, quoting Abtan as denying any involvement by the Badr Organization's in the September 1, 2013, massacre at Camp Ashraf, the former residence of PMOI members before moving to Camp Liberty.
The ISNA news agency reported: "Abdolhossein Abtan, one of the senior officials ISCI has denied the involvement of Badr Organization in September 2013 attack on Camp Ashraf."Abtan has not denied the Badr Organization's involvement in attacks against Camp Liberty.
The unarmed residents of Camp Liberty who are recognized by the UNHCR as asylum seekers have been target of four massive missile attacks in 2013 during which 14 residents were killed and hundreds wounded.

ProfileHandling
Created by Chad La Joie, last modified by Scott Cantor on Apr 18, 2016
The primary "API" of the IdP is the support for various standard (or standardized) federation protocols like SAML and CAS. Most interactions with the IdP are in the form of requests using those protocols or request to a few internal administrative functions. A summary of the supported protocol interfaces can be found here.
The profile workflows are built using Spring Web Flow, so it's important to understand that technology to make sense out of most of the code. All of the "top level" flows in the system implement one of the supported protocol interfaces, which are referred to as "profiles", a term used in SAML for a unit of interoperability that supports a particular function. Example profiles would be SAML 1 attribute queries, SAML 2 SSO requests, etc.
Within the top level profile flows, various subflows are run that carry out reusable sequences of tasks like authentication. These subflows are generally described in their own sections of the top level design and are designed to be composable with any profile flows that need to use them, by defining their own conventions for inputs and outputs.
Relying Party and Profile Configuration
As described in the GeneralArchitecture topic, the root of the context tree for any of the profile flows is the ProfileRequestContext class. Beyond that commonality, all of the "typical" federation profiles have a common approach to their configuration and how its exposed in the context tree.
For consistency with V2, and also because it works reasonably well as a configuration model, V3 maintains the idea of a "relying party" configuration as a container for one or more "profile configurations".
A RelyingPartyConfiguration (RPC) is a set of configuration options that apply to a given relying party. Every RPC contains, at least:
a unique identifier that is used mostly for logging purposes; it doesn't necessarily correspond to any actual "name" of the RP
a predicate that determines if the RPC applies for a given request
the identity the IdP should assume in its communication with the RP
a collection of of profile configurations implementing the ProfileConfiguration interface
The profile configurations indicate whether a particular protocol/profile is enabled for use by the relying party, and any special configuration options for that profile. Profile configurations also carry a SecurityConfiguration that supplies relevant security settings such as algorithms, credentials, and so forth, though these are rarely used directly, but rather as input to a more complex derivation process (docs TBD).
By convention, the resolution of the appropriate RPC to use for a request is represented by attaching a net.shibboleth.idp.profile.context.RelyingPartyContext child context to the ProfileRequestContext. Both the RPC and the specific profile configuration in effect are captured by that context, along with information about the identity of the relying party and whether that identity was verified or not.
Relying Party Configuration Resolver
The IdP contains a service responsible for selecting the appropriate RPC for a given request, the RelyingPartyConfigurationResolver. Because it's a service, the underlying implementation is fully abstracted from the system and is pluggable.
The default implementation relies on a reloadable configuration resource and just iterates through an ordered list of registered RPC objects, evaluating the current ProfileRequestContext against the RPC's predicate. The first RPC with a predicate to return an affirmative result is the RPC that's used for the request. In addition, the resolver stores two special RPCs: a default "verified" one to apply in the absence of a more specific rule, and an "unverified" one to apply in the event that the identity of the relying party can't be verified, in a fashion that depends on the profile used (in the case of SAML, a RP can only be verified if metadata is provided for it).
Profile Design Documentation
The following describes the flow for each profile including the steps that make it up and what they do. Most of it is empty or out of date at this point as it's mostly internal documentation and is not required to extend the IdP in most cases.
SAML 1.1 Browser SSO
SAML 1 Attribute Query
SAML 1 Artifact Resolution
SAML 2 SP-Initiated SSO
SAML 2 IdP-Initiated SSO
Constrained Web Service SSO
Programming Guide to Extending Profiles
One of the challenges in implementing the profile behavior as webflows was in establishing a mechanism for extension that didn't require copying or editing the internal flow definition files, making upgrades a difficult proposition for anybody that had extended them. Any given change becomes rather simple and small in terms of effort, but splicing in the changes can be complex.
While not every change can be easily accomodated, a large number of use cases are enabled by providing a set of well-defined "hooks" for branching control to user-supplied subflows that can alter the state of the request, or prevent a request from completing outright. The hooking subflow is called an "interceptor", and there are three main hooks during which any number of interceptors can be configured:
Inbound message processing
Post-authentication / attribute lookup processing
Outbound message processing
When feasible, the first and third hooks are provided in any given profile flow, but the middle hook only applies to more "traditional" SSO-oriented profiles that perform user authentication. Most often, it's that middle hook that is of interest to a deployer, and a number of useful example interceptors are provided, such as attribute release consent and usage terms, coarse-grained authorization, and expiring password notification.
Authoring and Enabling Intercepts
An interceptor is an arbitrary subflow that is assigned a flow ID that starts with "intercept/" and is further defined to the system with a bean of type net.shibboleth.idp.profile.interceptor.ProfileInterceptorFlowDescriptor in a list in conf/intercept/profile-intercept.xml.
To enable an interceptor, the flow ID suffix (the name after the "intercept/" prefix) must be added into the appropriate list property on the relevant ProfileConfiguration object in conf/relying-party.xml. The properties contain an ordered list of flow IDs representing the flows to execute in a sequence until one fails (results in a non-"proceed" event) or all have run.
Note that interceptors may also have ActivationConditions attached that further control whether they run.

Erecting the first components are deformed easily since the structural system is not connected yet so it is easy to lose stability under the impact of external factors such as wind and storms… or the mistake of crane driver that collide the steel structure being erected.
-To build a safety pre-engineered building, the first step is to erect hard bracing at the gable. During erection, there must be temporary bracing. Use roof purlins, sidewall girts combine with cable braces to locate, bind the frames together. It is necessary to install enough rigid frame columns, rigid frame rafter, purlins, roof braces, wall braces, purlins, and a number of temporary cable braces from the rafter to the ground anchors.
-After installing the hard bracing, it is necessary to check and align the accuracy of the frame (altitude, permissible allowance, deflection ...). From there, install the following frames in series into the main bracing frame. If it is possible to fit the full amount of purlins, it is best to install at least 50% of the purlins of each compartment, gradually perfect the entire frame.

how can i do that?
i read about binding to model arrays and i did this above.

A: you can use Ajax  us will need to change your Form from pOst to allow JQuery to do this
use $('#Form').Serialize() to get all your data and it should convert into teh C# list of Person
if that does not work try to manually create the object and post it
 $.ajax({
            url: URL + 'Person/Save',
            type: 'POST',

            data:  $('#Form').Serialize()

The Irwin 52 was a trend-setting boat. It was a deck-saloon cruiser before there were deck-saloon cruisers. What's more, the Irwin 52, with more than 250 hulls launched, may be the most popular big boat, 50-foot-plus, ever built. These beamy ketch-rigged cruisers offered no apologies for their motoryacht-like interior accommodations, spacious cockpit, wide side decks and raised bulwarks. It boasts of good performance under power as well as sail.The 52 sports a generous rig with more than 1,350 square feet of working sailing area. The underbody is refined with a cutaway long keel and a partially balanced rudder. The 52 moves under sail. Indeed, with its long 44-foot waterline it reaches along at 8 knots steadily.The Irwin 52 cockpit transformed center-cockpit design. Unlike most center cockpits of the time, it was large, comfortable and not just squeezed into the space above the engine room or distorted to allow for headroom in the pass-through to the aft cabin. You can sleep comfortably on either side and visibility is terrific.The wide side decks and substantial bulwarks are great features of the Irwin 52. The stanchions are tall. Handrails on the trunkhouse are the perfect height to be useful. The aft deck features huge lazerettes.

Best Texas Holdem poker strategy – Texas Holdem is a poker in which each player is dealt two cards facedown and all players share five cards dealt up. This game is one of the most popular games all over the world because they give much enjoyment to the player.
There are things to be considered when playing the game, you must have the strategies and techniques to win the game. It is not just for fun, but you have to put in your mine that winning in the game will be your objectives. There are strategies that can help you to win in hold'em live poker game.
Before executing the different strategies, first thing to do is to choose the basic and précised strategy for the kind of game you wanted in. When creating a strategy, you must apply the tool to have a perfect strategy. It is important to have focus to win the game.
The most important in playing holdem poker for you to win in the game is proper combination of the two separated cards which is facing down.
The other cards that face up are those cards shared to you and to your opponent. You must focus to the possible cards of the other players, because you can strategize the combination of your cards.
In making decision, before setting your bet make the best and possible combination cards, only thinking that no one can beat your cards.
Never show your reaction because it is possible to know by other players that you find difficult in making good combination to your cards.
Never take a deep breath because it also factor showing that you are nervous. The best thing to do is to relax when holding the cards and never show your emotions.
There are time that a player should be aggressive because it can take pressure to other players and there are possibility to break their strategy and you are forcing your opponent to a defensive moves, but not only one player you should take down, always think that some may have also good cards, so be careful for being aggressive.
If it your turn, take advantage for that because it is very useful against to players predicting that they have good cards, at this time you should play your position carefully.
A kind of trick that can make other players to retreat or not flop is for you to bluff them. It is effective in later position if the players checks to you. There are two ways for you to win, either your opponents fold or giving the good hands such to straight or flush.
Making decision in your card is not only the best way to win the game but it is also important to read, don't just put your bet in aggressive move. Through reading you can identify what kind of cards are there in other players. You can also determine what will be the strategy of other players. Your strategy will put your opponents in a wrong decision and give them small chance to win.
The strategy you will do is based on the cards you have, you should have the decision to suffer your cards through a sequence of poor hands for example five to eight, four to nine or two to six in a clumsy way. Then you can have the chance to make nice strategy in the good hands.
How Texas Holdem Poker is being played? The game is played using fifty-two card deck, jokers are not included. Players will be given two secret cards each, and then five more cards face up to all players. Each player should choose best five card among the seven cards distributed.
It should be in a circular direction when the player wants to bet, call, raise and do the folding. Then after that, the card will showdown. The winner is declared if someone shows the best hands. The most exciting point in this game is the bet called Blinds it is the reason why more poker player love this game.
How to determine good cards?
For you to determine if your cards is good it will depend on how your player strategize their game and also it depend in the number of players. Make strong briefing and folding before flopping the cards. Usually the player who has ten or less than non-pair cads is carefully making combination and they take long time to make a decision.
You can also use a trick to win the game, for example if you think that your cards has less chance to win, you can make a decision that can make decision to retreat. You can also do this trick if you are confident enough to your cards, but never do this this trick several times because all the players also know how to execute this trick.


Workshop by Lisa McLoughlin with Prof. John McLoughlin exploring the lived equation of dependency & care, and the embodiment of this weight.
'The kindness of strangers, looks to explore the mathematical equation of dependency in collaboration with Maths Professor John McLoughlin. As an artist, a mother, a carer, spouse, daughter and member of a rural community, I carry the weight of my three children, ageing parents and depend heavily on those around me to help me carry my responsibilities. This is the lived equation of dependency and care. This equation is usually gendered and heavily relies on women to carry this burden. I bring this equation back into my body, the body that does this work and ask for the help I need to carry this weight and place myself at the mercy of 'the kindness of strangers''.
A film screening of The Kindness of Strangers will be shown in the Foyer from 25-27 April.
A post-show talk will take place on 25 April.
This is very close to what I would say is the ultimate job of the artist. It is great to see so much thoughtful and engaged work curated over one evening, defiantly inclusive at a time when it is probably more easy to have an argument than a discussion.
Lisa McLoughlin has been a professional dancer for twenty years, toured extensively nationally and internationally and has worked many of the major Irish contemporary dance companies. Graduated from the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary dance in London, holds a first-class honours MA in Dance and in the third year of the arts practice PhD from the University of Limerick. Recipient of awards for choreography, performer and researcher of dance and the body and co-created the BA in Contemporary dance at UL. Recipient of multiple arts council awards, most recently, the designer of "The Autonomy Project, 2018" in collaboration with the Limerick Arts office, under the Invitation to collaboration award. Her work focuses on the body in society and the relationship between society and the individual.

Mayo Clinic and Safe Health Systems launch new health and connected diagnostics platform
Through a propriety technology platform made possible through the collaboration, the new venture, called Safe Health Systems, aims to improve access to efficient, affordable treatment for common medical conditions.
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic and Safe Health Group, Inc. announced the formation of Safe Health Systems, Inc., a venture focused on reducing the cost of low-complexity care and commodity diagnostics at a mass scale. Through a propriety technology platform, SAFE, Safe Health Systems intends to improve access to efficient, affordable treatment for common medical conditions.
This venture is part of the Mayo Clinic Platform, a strategic initiative to improve health care through insights and knowledge derived from data and delivered through platform business models.
"Mayo Clinic Platform believes that the future of virtual care includes on-demand diagnostic testing, including the tracking of lab results and proof of vaccine administration in support of the post-COVID-19 new normal," says John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform. "Safe Health Systems, working with Mayo Clinic, will provide the suite of apps and services that universities, employers and organizations need to restart in-person activities and support new care models."
The SAFE platform enables the rapid implementation of custom digital health applications, which combine digital provider services, artificial intelligence-based care automation and remote point of care diagnostics. The absence of remote testing is currently a limiting factor for digital and telehealth treatment of common low-complexity ailments (e.g., sexually transmitted diseases, strep throat, urinary tract infections, upset stomach, strep throat, flu, ear infection, etc.). The current COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for remote diagnostic and digital care services.
"We are excited to collaborate with Mayo Clinic on our mission to empower organizations with technology that makes health care more accessible and reduces the cost of care at scale," says Ken Mayer, CEO, Safe Health Systems. "We are focused on creating solutions that help people play a more active role in their health care and live healthier lives. This new venture with Mayo Clinic will enable us to deliver these solutions to a broader set of individuals and organizations globally."
The SAFE platform emerged from the Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University Alliance for Health Care MedTech Accelerator program, a program designed to accelerate use-inspired research and improve patient care and outcomes through innovations.
"Safe Health Systems represents the originality, creativity and optimistic belief required to yield innovative and transformative health care solutions," says Steven Lester, M.D., Mayo Clinic cardiologist, and founder and medical director of the MedTech Accelerator program. "The SAFE platform will support a digital revolution in health care and embodies how the MedTech Accelerator program supports innovative companies in their quest to advance patient-centric health care solutions".
SAFE's initial focus is enabling testing for COVID-19, sexually transmitted diseases and common ailments. The platform is actively deployed for COVID-19 testing, linking patients, clinicians and test providers via HealthCheck®, an advanced smartphone and desktop application. As COVID-19 vaccinations become available, the application will support vaccine workflow and verification.
Last year, Mayo Clinic launched the Mayo Clinic Platform, a coordinated portfolio approach to create new platform ventures and leverage emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, connected health care devices and natural language processing. The Mayo Clinic Platform design includes an ecosystem of partners that complement Mayo Clinic's clinical capabilities and provide access to scalable solutions. Mayo Clinic has invested in Safe Health Systems, as it is a strategic component of the Mayo Clinic Platform.
Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit organization committed to innovation in clinical practice, education and research, and providing compassion, expertise and answers to everyone who needs healing. Visit the Mayo Clinic News Network for additional Mayo Clinic news and Mayo Clinic Facts for more information about Mayo.
About Safe Health Systems

Investigador de Mayo Clinic descubre posible diana para controlar enfermedad genética rara que ataca en la adolescencia


Dai Young - a male celebrity - born on Wednesday July 26th 1967, in Unknown.
Dai Young is peacemaker by nature. Because he intuitively knows what people want, or feel, he can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. Patient and cooperative that he is, Dai works well with groups and somehow finds a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.
When employing his considerable inner strength, Young uncovers his enormous power and abilities to direct difficult situations toward his own goals. It is the awareness of his inner strength that will give Dai Young the courage to use his own personal power when it is needed. In truth, Dai Young is often the power behind the throne.
Dai Young has the soul of an artist. He is extremely sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy. These qualities are both his strengths and weaknesses, for while Young possesses enormous sensitivity to his feelings and those of others, that same sensitivity can cause him to hold back and repress his considerable talents.

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition that causes extensive body ache and increased pain sensitivity to pressure. This disorder affects almost 370 million people worldwide, most of which are women. Even though fibromyalgia is not fatal, but it can still have severe, lifelong effects and can often times be difficult to cure. It is also not very easily detectible and can remain unattended for years. In most cases it is genetically acquired and seems to have been passed on from many generations.
Although very common, still very few known pharmaceutical medicines exist which can actually cause relief to the grave health conditions caused by fibromyalgia. Some drugs ease the pain while others may improve the quality of sleep. The FDA (U S Food and Drug Administration) has made a list of three approved medicines which are duloxetine, milnacipran and pregabalin but none seem to combat all the symptoms of fibromyalgia simultaneously. Patients are often prescribed separate drugs that deal with the distinct symptoms.
However, CBD (Cannabidiol) does an exceptional job in combating fibromyalgia as a substitute to traditional medicine although it is very unpopular among users.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound naturally acquired from cannabis plants (commonly known as marijuana). CBD acts against THC (another common chemical found in cannabis) to reduce the latter's effect and reduces the negative effects of marijuana. CBD also reduces psychoactive symptoms. Marijuana is primarily thought to be only used for recreational purposes but it also has some subtle medicinal significance. The benefits are often neglected owing to the common misunderstandings regarding cannabis.
Most people prefer prescribed drugs to relief chronic pain and the various other symptoms of fibromyalgia although some studies suggest that CBD can act as a natural pain reliever and can reduce chronic stress. CBD is also known to have immense therapeutic value and has shown to treat several other symptoms of fibromyalgia as well. Considering the very low toxicity and usually gentle side effects, researchers believe that denying CBD benefits and its possible potential to cure fibromyalgia is improper.
CBD is known to be a natural anti-depressant. It acts with the chemicals present in our brain and helps in reducing chronic disorder and anxiety. CBD also helps patients with schizophrenia. It also helps in treating pain disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Known to be natural pain reliever and it can be effectively used to combat intensive body pain and inflammations caused by fibromyalgia. Due to its capability to interact with one's body's endocannabinoid system, it can easily manipulate the brain's cannabinoid receptors and help in relieving anxiety and stress.
Due to limited clinical trials done on CBD, the operational mechanism through which CBD helps to reduce several symptoms of fibromyalgia is a little bit hard to understand. Primarily in layman's term, CBD is a chemical naturally acquired from plants that acts with the cannaboid receptors of our brains and helps to aid several symptoms of fibromyalgia like anxiety, stress and body-ache.
CBD and THC are two of the more than 100 chemicals found in cannabis commonly known as marijuana or even weed. THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the one responsible for getting users high and also responsible for the ecstatic feelings. There is no proven evidence that suggest that CBD can get a person high. CBD although acquired from marijuana can help treat various potential diseases. Proper combination of CBD and THC can impeccably attempt to cure the various symptoms of fibromyalgia and rescue an individual from the heightened body ache and neurological disorders caused by fibromyalgia.
Although not clinically approved by any formal drug approval agency, researchers have been to trying to provide concrete evidence to show the medical significance of CBD and to prove the legality of CBD consumption. Due to a very small number of clinical trials performed, it is not an easy task to assess the pros of using CBD against traditional pharmaceutical drugs to cure fibromyalgia. Also due to common misconceptions against marijuana, the medical benefits are often overlooked and misjudged. Plenty of research needs to be conducted before it can be formally prescribed and consumed for the treatment fibromyalgia. Although it would not be wrong to say that by proper research and clinical assessments, CBD can easily act as an efficient medicine for fibromyalgia and has the potential to save millions of its patients from fibromyalgia.

Gov't Rakes Billions of Pesos Annually on OFW Processing Charges, Studies Show
Ronalyn V. Olea March 28, 2009 1 Comment government fees paid by overseas Filipino workers, labor export policy, overseas Filipino workers, state exactions
Studies by the Confederation for Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees (Courage) and the International Seafarers' Action (ISAC) Philippines Foundation, Inc. show that the government rakes in billions of pesos from mandatory exactions on prospective overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
BY NOEL SALES BARCELONA
MIGRANT WATCH
Aling Rose (real name withheld upon request), 47, a single mother of four, has been working in Oman for almost six years now.
As in the case of other Filipinos who go to work abroad, poverty had pushed her to try her luck working as a domestic helper for a wealthy businessman in Oman. With a salary of more than P12,000 (US$200) a month, she is trying to make her children's life, somehow, comfortable.
"Mahal ang mag-abroad" (It's expensive to work abroad), she told this reporter in an interview the night before she went home to her town in Occidental Mindoro.
"Sa medical pa lang, gagastos ka na nang P5,000 ($103.76). Iba pa ang bayad sa OWWA (Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration), taxes, passport renewal, at marami pang ibang dokumentong kailangan mo para makaalis ka. Siguro, gagastos ka nang mga P12,000 ($249.04) o higit pa, sa pag-aasikaso pa lamang ng mga papeles mo. Kapag baguhan ka, kailangan mo ring maglagay para makaalis" (For the medical examination alone, you will spend around P5,000. Other fees include OWWA membership fee, taxes, passport renewal and many other documents you need to process to be able to go abroad. Perhaps, you will shell out at least P12,000 or more to process your papers. If you're new, some agencies charge a placement fee for you to work abroad), she said.
However, during the interview, she refused to reveal how much it cost her during her first time working abroad but she told this reporter that it was quite a sum.
Raking in billions out of processing fees
A study conducted by the Confederation for the Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees (Courage) revealed that the government rakes in an astounding P16.601-billion (US$344.745 million) through documentary fees charged to Filipinos who want to work overseas.
Ferdinand Gaite, national president of Courage, said in his paper titled "State Exaction and Corruption: Robbing the Filipino Migrants Twice", which he had delivered during the 1st International Assembly of Migrants and Refugees in Manila last year, that the said amount could have been increased due to several seminars and testing that the government now requires a prospective overseas Filipino worker (OFW) to take.
The estimate was based on the 2007 statistics on the number of overseas Filipinos which the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) had published in 2008. Based on the Compendium of OFW Statistics 2007, there are 1.08 million Filipinos who went overseas to work that year.
Each of them, says Gaite, needed to pay at least P15,400 ($320.093) to process the necessary documents and other requirements for working abroad.
In his paper, Gaite revealed that 76 signatures are needed to be able to complete all the documentary requirements for working abroad. Each signature amounting to some P100 ($2.975).
"Aside from POEA that issues the overseas employment certificate, there are 10 other government entities involved in the whole documentation process of deployment. Employment certificates are authenticated by the Regional Trial Court; diplomas and transcript of records are authenticated by the Department of Education (DepEd) or the Commission on Higher Education (CHED); board ratings and board certificates are authenticated by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC); birth and marriage certificates are authenticated by the National Statistics Office (NSO); medical certificates are authenticated by the Department of Health (DOH)," said Gaite.

Lock in a great price for Windsong on the Reef - rated 8.8 by recent guests.
Large, well-appointed suites with full kitchen and living area. Comfortable beds. Great view.
Service was great and staff were kind and helpful! The beach was also amazing.
The beach staff was awesome. Larry and Francois very helpful and always ready to assist or give you tips on activities and local food and events. We had an ocean view which was amazing. We enjoyed the having two balconies as well. They offer a shuttle to the super market daily at 4 pm.
The beach area is calm, there is a small coral reef, that you can explore on you own with kayaks, windsurfing boats and paddle boards, which the hotel offers at the beach. The hotel also has a small dune, with garden sofas to relax. The atmosphere is great, and staff is really nice, we particularly appreciated the help of Gustave with the kayaks.
Staff were excellent. Location and views from room were perfect.
wonderful staff, location and no one has a property RIGHT on the beach and the pool like this one. Restaurant could use a little update, but sitting outside right on beach is awesome. Def stay again.
Would prefer if complementary breakfast not restricted to continental. Everything else great. Rooms and facilities awesome- among the best I've seen.
Location of the hotel, 30 seconds-3minutes to dive to the ocean. In terms of the quality of the beach, absolutely one of the best beaches that I have ever visited. In the past, I have been in Maldives, Fiji, Cozumel, Thai, Bali, Hawai etc.. where are said amazing, in terms of scuba diving or snorkeling, the others are also very nice or might be better, however the visibities, quietness and the sand of the beach, here is the best in my opinion.
Featuring 150 yards of private beach on Grace Bay, this resort is located on the island of Providenciales. The beach includes a beautiful underwater coral reef where guests can snorkel.
The on-site JoJo's Café serves healthy dishes in a casual environment for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It is in the perfect location! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was one of the best, most relaxing vacations I have ever had!
Food could have been better!
I loved everything with the exception of some of the food choices. Thank you for the great hospitality and the friendliness of the staff.
Excellent property and friendly attentive staff. A memorable vacation and would book here again!
Location. The snorkeling. The views.
Nothing as it relates to the Hotel, staff, food, or Hotel location. If you want to get away and spend your time at the Hotel only and disconnect then it is fabulous. For us, we like to venture and discover the area which was not really the case here. The large event that everyone talked about is the Thursday Fish Fry. Everyone comes from all around the Island to taste the foods from local restaurants and listen to a local band. There are also souvenir vendors/artists where you can purchase shirts, jewelry and the like. We were there about an hour and headed out. Lastly, another feature that hits you quickly is the cost of items on the Island such as dinner, etc. As everything has to be shipped into the Island it is an investment for items. Again, nothing against the Hotel or staff but the Island itself just not the best fit for us.
The breakfast that was included every morning was very good in my opinion. You had many items to choose from (ie. cereal, bagels, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, OJ, coffee, etc.) and could pay for additional items such as eggs or pancakes. It more than met my needs and my husband only added a couple eggs every morning. The service was very friendly and efficient as well. The Manager came by every morning as well just to check everything was good with the breakfast and service. The hotel services breakfast, lunch and dinner. At each, you have the choice of sitting at tables looking at the ocean. You could not ask for a better location for snorkeling. You literally walk right from the hotel to the beach to the absolutely beautiful beach with turquoise waters and reef that held incredibly colorful fish, sea turtles, sting rays. Also, during the day on the beach the staff come out with cold wash clothes to cool off with, a bottle of water and sorbet. The staff tending to the guests on the beach work hard all day long in the heat. They are very attentive, patient and probably do not get rewarded as much as they should. Anything you would like (drinks, cabanas, chairs, umbrellas) they do it all. The staff at the front office in the hotel were wonderful to us as well as the "Butlers" as they title them (Concierge to us common folk ;) We were greeted upon arrival with a fruit punch drink and were able to check in our room right away. Darren (our Butler) was very attentive to anything we asked about. The hotel has bikes available for use and Darren would get them ready for us. I also unfortunately fell on a bike ride and he helped with first aid items. We cannot say enough nice things about him and the front staff. The room we had was absolutely stunning. We loved it! It was a one bedroom with an ocean view balcony. Wow is all I can say. There was a full kitchen, washer/dryer, ocean view with a wrap around balcony. We loved everything about the room.
It would be nice to have complimentary shuttle service to dinner locations nearby vs. having to use over priced taxi service. Shuttle service more than once per day to the grocery store. Live music would be nice.
Staff was excellent, very nice location. Liked the size of the property and easy access to the beach.
Great location. The staff was all very nice and helpful. The room was well attended to. We spent a lot of the time at the resort, everything we ate and drank was great. The beach facilities are perfect. Make sure you make it to the fish fry down the beach on Thursday night!
More tables in the dunes or at least one or two for two people only. I had read that it was a good place for singles, which it was but seemed much more family oriented than I had expected.
The delicious continental breakfast in the dunes. The reef so close by that other hotels had to walk a ways to come to. The studio room was quite large for a studio with a large shower. And I thought it promised a queen bed but sure seemed like a king to me. Very helpful staff. Free bicycle. Beach towels.
The beach was not wide, but I knew that.
The Villa was amazing. The resort staff was so polite, friendly, and accommodating. Was nice to be able to walk to Fish Fry, and other bar/restaurant. Being able to snorkel right off the beach was nice.
Much of the staff is not friendly as you would expect at a resort Receptiin amd restaurant staff not welcoming, friendly, rude nor enthusiastic about their job, starting from the General Manager who should set the example down to waite staff. Most everybody looks blah in there jobs or complacent and it comes through. Nobody smiles except for the butlers and Lavonne restaurant manager. This is a service industry where smiles and courteous service goes a long way but you wont found alot of it here. Food just ok, but the service made it less desirable. Also very expensive and not worth the value. We were even extra charged $1 for a small cup of chips with lunch that was already served with inadequate amount...ridiculous. Already paying over priced room and food and they want a $1 for some chips. Poor communication amoung staff. The gym is a very dissapointing. Only 1 hot tub and it was small.
2 bedroom oceanfront suite was nice. Resturant manager Lavonne, the butlers and the beach staff were good the the rest of the staff were medicore unacceptably rude and unfriendly at best. The grounds were nice and well kept.
Deeper beach, more restaurant options. Without a car, we felt a little isolated here but explored on foot to find some other restaurants and do some "resort hopping."
Beautiful one-bedroom suite with "disappearing" front and side walls creating open-air living. The restaurant was good and the dunes dining option very lovely. The resort however only has the one restaurant and we hadn't rented a car. Some exploring offered two very casual options down the beach and a taxi took us to a grand farewell dinner at The Palms. Free continental breakfast was good, but they ran out of raisin bran and didn't restock (while we were there anyway.) The beach was shallow, especially at high tide, but the water "toys" were included and the staff very helpful. Larry can take you out on the Hobie Cat if you don't know how to sail. Staff was accommodating and facilities very nice, just small and limited vs. some other resorts we have been to.

Just over 25 years ago, Britten Sinfonia was established as a bold reimagining of the conventional image of an orchestra. A flexible ensemble comprising the UK's leading soloists and chamber musicians came together with a unique vision: to collapse the boundaries between old and new music, to collaborate with composers, conductors and guest artists across the arts, focussing on the musicians rather than following the vision of a principal conductor; and to create involving, intelligent music events that both audiences and performers experience with an unusual intensity.
The orchestra is named after Benjamin Britten, in part a homage to its chosen home of the East of England, where Britten's roots were also strong. But Britten Sinfonia also embodies its namesake's ethos. Its projects are illuminating and distinctive, characterised by their rich diversity of influences and artistic collaborators; and always underpinned by a commitment to uncompromising quality, whether the orchestra is performing in New York's Lincoln Center or in Lincolnshire's Crowland Abbey. Britten Sinfonia musicians are deeply rooted in the communities they work with, with an underlying philosophy of finding ways to reach even the most excluded individuals and groups.
Today Britten Sinfonia is heralded as one of the world's leading ensembles and its philosophy of adventure and reinvention has inspired a new movement of emerging chamber groups. It is an Associate Ensemble at London's Barbican, Resident Orchestra at Saffron Hall in Essex and has residencies in Norwich and Cambridge. It performs an annual chamber music series at London's Wigmore Hall and appears regularly at major UK festivals including the Aldeburgh, Brighton, the Norfolk and Norwich Festivals and the BBC Proms. Over the last year the orchestra has performed a live broadcast to more than a million people worldwide from the Sistine Chapel, toured to Amsterdam, Paris and Bilbao and in the 2019-20 season will be touring to the US, Mexico, China and much of Europe. It is a BBC Radio 3 Broadcast Partner and has award-winning recordings on the Hyperion and Harmonia Mundi labels.
Recent and current collaborators include Keaton Henson, dancer/choreographer Pam Tanowitz and theatre director Ivo van Hove, with commissions from Thomas Adès, Gerald Barry, Shiva Freshareki, Emily Howard, Brad Mehldau and Mark-Anthony Turnage. The orchestra was recently announced as a commissioning partner in a ground-breaking partnership between minimalist composer Steve Reich and visual artist Gerhard Richter in a new work which will be premiered this Autumn.
Outside the concert hall, Britten Sinfonia musicians work on creative and therapeutic projects with pre-school children, teenagers, young carers, people suffering from dementia, life-time prisoners and older people at risk of isolation. The orchestra's annual OPUS competition offers unpublished composers the chance to receive a professional commission and unearths new, original and exciting UK compositional talent. Members of Britten Sinfonia Academy, the orchestra's youth chamber ensemble for talented young performers, have performed in museums, improvised with laptop artists, led family workshops and appeared at Latitude Festival.

Piksida al-Mughira, izdelana leta 968 za princa al-Mughira (15 cm x 8 cm), je prenosna posoda iz slonovine, ki izvira iz obdobja Omajadov,  srednjeveškega islama v Španiji. Je v zbirki pariškega Louvra. Posoda je bila izdelana v eni od delavnic Medina Azahara (Madinat al-Zahra) v bližini današnje Cordobe v Španiji in naj bi bila darilo za polnoletnost sina kalifa Abd al-Rahmana III. Zgodovinski viri pravijo, da je bil princ, imenovan al-Mughira, Abu al-Mutarrif al-Mughira, zadnji rojeni sin kalifa Abd al-Rahmana III., rojen priležnici po imenu Mushtaq. Prepričani so, da je ta piksida pripadala al-Mughiri zaradi napisa okoli podnožja pokrova, ki se glasi: »Blagoslov od Boga, dobra volja, sreča in blaginja al-Mughīri, sinu poveljnika vernih, naj božja milost [naj bo nad njim], narejena leta 357.«

Oblika in kontekst
Pikside so znane kot luksuzne osebne posode, ki jih dajejo članom kraljeve družine in naj bi jih uporabljali za shranjevanje dragocenih draguljev, nakita, arom, parfumov itd.; vendar dejanski namen Pikside al-Mughira ni znan, ker v notranjosti ni nobenih sledi kakršne koli snovi. Čeprav je celotna površina pikside zapleteno in strokovno izrezljana z različnimi oblikami okrasja, je največ pozornosti v štirih glavnih medaljonih okoli njenega obsega.

Zunanjost pikside je dovršeno izrezljana in vrezana slonova kost, ki jo je kalif uvozil iz Severne Afrike. Možno je, da je bila piksida prvotno intarzirana z zlatom in srebrom, vendar so ostale le sledi žada. Čeprav je bila odkrita s kovinskimi tečaji, ki so pritrdili pokrov na posodo, se verjame (in je jasno), da so bili tečaji nameščeni pozneje, ker ni bilo prostora za namestitev kovinskih tečajev. To je znano, ker so tečaji uničili del napisa. Zaradi omenjenih negotovosti je nejasno, kako naj bi bil pokrov nameščen na posodi in tako ni znano, kako naj se napis bere, kaj se šteje spredaj ali zadaj in kakšen je njegov odnos do spodnjih prizorov.
Podatki:
Material: slonova kost.
Debelina stene: 1,8 cm.
Napisi z 1,5 cm globokimi vrezi.
Odpira in zapira se z dvema tečajema	.

Medaljoni
Medaljon 1 prikazuje prizor dveh moških, ki nabirata jajca iz sokoljih gnezd, kar je priljubljeno kot simbol moči ali legitimnosti Omajadov. Znanstveniki trdijo, da je bila sinhronizacija med sokolom in močjo Omajadov trenuten in močan simbol zaradi takšnih metafor, ki so jih v tem časovnem obdobju našli v poeziji in umetnosti. Zlasti  Abd Al Rahmana I. al-Dakhila (priseljenec), ustanovitelja Omajadov v Al Andaluzu, je abasidski kalif slavno imenoval "sokol iz Kuraiša" (Sakr Kuraiš). Ker oba moška grizejo psi, se tudi domneva, da je šlo za implikacijo grožnje tistim, ki bi poskušali osvojiti oblast.

Medaljon 2 prikazuje dva jahača, ki nabirata grozde datljev iz datljeve palme. Ta drevesa najdemo predvsem na Bližnjem vzhodu in v severni Afriki in lahko namigujejo na vzhodne dežele ali »domovino nasadov palm«, ki so jih izgubili Abasidi – rodbina, ki je ustanovila Bagdad in strmoglavila sirske Omajade. Abd al-Rahman I., ki je ustanovil oblast Omajadov na Iberskem polotoku, je drevo uporabil kot kodo v svoji poeziji. Nekateri učenjaki domnevajo, da prepletene veje drevesa predstavljajo dvojne veje rodbine Omajadov, od katerih sta po besedah omajadskega panegirista Hasana al-Tubnija »nastali tako prerokba kot kalifat«.

Medaljon 3 prikazuje glasbeni prizor na dvoru dveh sedečih figur, ki obdajata srednjo figuro, za katero sumijo, da je služabnik zaradi manjšega, sekundarnega obsega. Ena figura drži pleteno žezlo in bučko Omajadov, druga pa pahljačo. Pomen tega medaljona je precej kontroverzen, vendar priljubljeno stališče trdi, da človek z žezlom in bučko simbolizira omajadskega kalifa, lik s pahljačo pa Abaside. Francisco Prado-Vilar trdi, da bi ta prizor lahko predstavljal slovesnost, opravljeno na dvoru al-Hakama II., ki bi bila političnega pomena za al-Mughira in ga spominjala na nadaljevanje in trdnost dinastije.

Medaljon 4 je edini medaljon, ki prikazuje skupni simbol moči skozi podobo boja med bikom in levom. Nekateri učenjaki, vključno s tistimi v Louvru in Eva Baer, so to razlagali kot sporočilo avtoritete in legitimnosti omajadskih kalifov v tekmovanju z abasidskimi kalifi, ki so vladali v Bagdadu. Prado-Vilar ta prizor povezuje s tedanjimi basnimi, ki so jih uporabljali za poučevanje življenjskih lekcij mladim, zlasti družini kraljevega dvora. Trdi, da bi Al-Mughira, ob upoštevanju Kalila wa Dimne, razmišljal o simboliki »tragičnih posledic poslušanja zlih nasvetov tistih, ki načrtujejo zaroto proti bratskemu rodu;« način, da ga kalif obdrži v njegovi sekundarni vlogi in da ne poskuša iskati vladanja.

Interpretacijski spor
Učenjaki, kot je Renata Holod , trdijo, da je bila piksida darilo al-Mughira z ironično, komično ostrino kot opomnik, da nikoli ne bo naslednji v vrsti za vladavino. Holod tudi sumi, da darilo ni bilo od kalifa in ali ga je naročil al-Mughira; vendar znanstveniki, kot je Makariou, ki zavračajo to trditev, trdijo, da bi bilo težko za nekoga, ki ni licenčni, naročiti tako zelo drag predmet in da bi se osredotočil samo na čisto ironično sporočilo, ne vodi nikamor. Makarioujevi argumenti so tudi v nasprotju s Prado-Vilarjem, ki se osredotoča izključno na piksido kot posodo resnega opozorila al-Mughiriju glede morebitnih političnih ciljev, ki jih je imel; vendar Makariou trdi, da ta argument kaže na pomanjkanje znanja v zvezi s srednjeveškimi običaji kalifata in da ni bilo v naravi kalifa, da se tako resno ukvarja z notranjimi boji za oblast.

Dejanski namen Pikside al-Mughira je zelo argumentiran in soglasno neznan. Vemo, da je bil kalifat v Cordobi razvpit po svoji sposobnosti pridobivanja zelo dragih in razkošnih materialov za svoj kraljevi dvor. In zaradi svoje moči, zmogljivosti in tajnosti so ohranili edinstven in ekskluziven odnos s severno Afriko; trgovinski sporazum, do katerega ni mogla dostopati nobena druga dinastija. Slonovina, dragocen material, ki ga je težko obdelati, je bil eden od mnogih načinov, kako so prikazali svoje bogastvo in moč; vendar je uporaba teh zmožnosti za ustvarjanje Pikside al-Mughira na splošno ocenjena kot potratna in povprečna zaradi njenega sproščenega konteksta, ki ga nakazuje nabor knežjih zabav na njegovi zunanjosti; vendar je posoda brezhibne izdelave in strokovnega oblikovanja. Do danes se o namenu Pikside al-Mughira še vedno ugiba in razpravlja. Trenutno je del zbirke islamske umetnosti v pariškem Louvru.

In the early 2021, it was reported that a new script was getting written specifically for Cagatay Ulusoy. On his birthday in September, it was reported that the show was going to be titled Yali Capkani. After few days, it was reported that Ulusoy didn't like the script and therefore the project was shelved. Then journalist Ranini reported that a new script from the same company was liked by Cagatay and then the contract was signed and show's name became Suslu Korkuluk which when translated to English means Fancy Scarecrow. From a new footage from filming, its revealed that the name of series was changed to Terzi, which when translated to English, means Tailor.Rana Mamatlıoğlu and Bekir Baran Sıtkı are the scriptwriters of the show.

Casting
Cagatay Ulusoy was the first actor whose name was announced with the series. Alina Boz and Hafsanur Sancaktutan names were mentioned and was said that they were interviewed by the director. On Jan 5 singer Ayaz Tezcan himself announced that he will be a part of the show. Actress Beste kanar joined the show as well on the same date. Alina Boz was confirmed to be the leading actress. However when the show was transferred from TV8 to Netflix Alina Boz withdrew her name.

Esra Bilgiç was then cast alongside Cagatay Ulusoy. On April 1, it was reported that Bilgiç had left the project, and she posted a statement on her Instagram page on April 3 conforming her departure.Journalist of Turkey's largest newspaper Hürriyet wrote that Esra Bilgiç caused problems to the filming crew and asked for a raise twice before the filming began. As a result she was fired from the set.However the same night Esra posted a story saying that she couldn't sign a contract where she couldn't agree to the work conditions and made a decision to leave the show because of the exclusivity contract which prevented her to work on series other than produced by Netflix One of the journalists came in her support and said that the producer was ready to pay her thrice but she chose honor instead of money. No statement came from the production company OGM or Netflix about the incident.

Finally the producers of the show chose Şifanur Gül for the leading actress. This role serves as the first leading role for the actress after playing minor and supporting roles in series such as The Red Room, Glass Ceilings and As the Crow flies.
Olgun Simsek was cast to play the role of Cagatay's father who has a child like intelligence. For the role of the antagonist Dmitry Fatih Artman and Salih Bademci were interviewed. However Salih Bademci earlier refused but when the show got shifted to Netflix the role was agreed with him. The name of Cagatay Ulusoy's character in the show was announced as Peyami while the name of the character of the female lead was Esvet. The child actor Emir Ali Dogrul was also cast in the series. Cagatay Ulusoy and Emir had earlier worked together in the Netflix film Paper Lives.
Ece Sukan who is dubbed as "Turkish street style star" joined the cast as Suzi who acts as Cagatay Ulusoy's character Peyami's right hand. Engin Senkan will portray Peyami's grandfather. Evrim Alasya was a surprise name in the series who joined the show near the finale of season one. Berrak Tüzünataç was the surprise name of the second season and was said to fall in the lives of Peyami and Esvet.

Teaser release
On the eve of 2022 New year the first teaser of the trailer was released. It was first shown on TV8's New year special O Ses Turkiye Programme. The teaser made it clear that Cagatay is going to play the role of a designer in the series. No other actors were shown in the teaser. Director Cem Karci came from Barcelona to shoot it and went back the next day after shooting it. The teaser shows Cagatay Ulusoy dressing up a scarecrow. After a few days as the show got shifted to Netflix it was deleted from TV8's website where it was supposed to air earlier but is still available to watch on YouTube after searching Suslu Korkuluk (former name of the show).

Release controversy
The show was earlier supposed to be aired on TV8. However after few days of the release of the teaser the information about the show disappeared from the website. It was announced by journalists that the budget of the show exceeded and the channel couldn't afford it. It was then announced that the series will air on Disney Plus along with the opening of the platform in Turkey but then Netflix bought the broadcasting rights of the series.

Filming
Filming of the show began on 29 March 2022 in Kirklareli. The place was chosen to shoot the flashback scenes. The area is also the place where Cagatay Ulusoy had earlier shot his short film Birdie and also where he had given a guest appearance as himself in the series Menajerimi Ara.The municipality of Kadikoy informed that the shooting of the series is taking place in the district in the Kadıköy Yoğurtçu Parkı in a special closed set During the filming of one of the action scenes in the car the camera mounted on the top of it came off and Cagatay Ulusoy survived the accident as it fell on the road. If the camera broke through the glass Cagatay would have suffered serious injuries. Cagatay was one of the owners of the company which provided the camera for 500,000 Liras. Despite the financial loss the actor didn't say anything to the crew. However later his girlfriend refuted the claims of the accident.

Filming of the three seasons of the series was taking place in one block.
The filming of the first season concluded on 15 June and the second season began filming in the beginning of July. The filming of the second season concluded on 20 August and the crew started shooting for the third immediately after.

Celebrated by The Times as one of the 50 Greatest Crime Writers, Donna Leon brings Venice to life in the twenty-second Brunetti novel of this bestselling series, where our detective must uncover the mystery surrounding a mute man's murder.
When making routine enquiries into a possible bribery case that could embarrass the mayor – a humiliation Vice-Questore Patta is very keen to avoid – Commissario Brunetti receives a call from his wife, Paola, who is evidently very upset. The middle-aged deaf mute with the mental age of a child who helped out at the Brunetti's dry cleaners has been found dead – an 'accidental' overdose of his mother's sleeping pills – and Paola is distraught by the news. To the neighbourhood he was just the 'boy' who helped out, but nobody knew much about him – not even his name. That a soul could have lived such a joyless life is too much for Paola to bear, and she asks Guido if he can find out what happened.
It is a surprise to Brunetti just how little was known about this man-child – there are no official records to show he even existed. The man's mother is angry and contradictory when questioned about his death, and Brunetti senses that there much more to the story than she is willing to tell. With the help of Inspector Vianello and the ever-resourceful Signorina Elettra, perhaps Brunetti can get to the truth and find some measure of solace.
"The familiar characters and Venetian location are described with remarkable freshness and, as always, the edifying result is both amusing and thought-provoking"
