Wimdu Insiderᄡs Guide to Iceland:Food, Fun and Accommodation, Bed & Breakfasts and Apartments in Iceland
The island nation Iceland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and considered part of Nordic Europe. Despite the name, Iceland isn´t all that cold at all, thanks to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, which allows for winters of about the same severity as in New England, despite the latitude. Iceland is a visual treat for anyone who is into vast and eerie landscapes of unearthly beauty. Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, the sun sets only briefly each day at the height of summer, and during winter there are up to 20 hours of darkness. However early or late winter can be a great time to visit, as you still get about 7 hours of daylight but the prices are much lower than in the prime of tourist season. Iceland is split into various regions, with Southwest Iceland being home to the capital Rekjavik and most of the island´s population, and South Iceland featuring most of the tourist attractions, including the Golden Circle. To see dramatic waterfalls and impressive lava fields, head to North Iceland, while West Iceland is where you can visit the Snæfellsjökull glacier and the islands of Breiðafjörður.
Beer was illegal in Iceland until 1989!
Icelanders exclusively address each other by their first names, even to the Prime Minister
Iceland has the highest rate of cinema attendance in the world.
The first democratically elected female head of state was in Iceland.
60% of the population live in Rekjavik.
The Icelandic language has remained virtually unchanged for 1,000 years.
1) Landmannalaugar is an area of amazing beauty that is situated close enough to Rekjavik to justify a day trip by bus (or by 4x4), as it gives a good idea of what the rest of the less accessible and rugged interior area of Iceland looks like.2) Þingvellir National Park is worth a visit to see where the longest running parliament was and is held, and also to see the location of the rift that is tearing apart the North American and European continental shelf plates. It lies 20 - 30 miles to the North of Rejkjavik.3) Glacier hiking is one of the most popular things to do for tourists in Iceland. The most popular area for this is Skaftafell in the Southeast. White-water rafting is another well-loved activity, with North Iceland has some of the best rivers for rafting such as Vestari, Austari and Jokulsa.
Iceland´s Food Delights
Icelandic cuisine has evolved a lot lately, as it used to primarily feature lamb or fish in one form or other. Nowadays there are a number of vegetarian restaurants to be found in Rekjavik. There a however a number of typical Icelandic dishes that are worth looking out for and trying (if you can stomach them!). These include:
hangikjöt, smoked lamb
skyr, a flavoured or unflavoured dairy product similar to yoghurt, low in fat and high in protein
svið, singed sheep's head
If you are in Iceland from late January to early February, you may be invited to a Þorrablót, which is a gathering at which Icelanders enjoy a selection of traditional cuisine which may contain the following: hrútspungar (pickled ram's testicles), hákarl (putrefied shark cubes), Lundabaggi (sheep's fat) and Sviðasulta (brawn [head cheese] made from svið). Don´t be afraid to politely refuse some of the more unpalatable delicacies as many Icelanders will choose not to eat them either. There will be plenty of more "normal" foods there as well, just ask.
Getting Around Iceland
The main international airport is Keflavik, located about 25 miles from Rekjavik. To get to the city, it´s best to take the Airport Express which shuttles between the airport and various hotels in the city. Even if you are not staying in hotel accommodation, one of them may be situated close to where you are going. There is also a bus (eg. Netbus) which stops at the Blue Lagoon on the way from the airport and continues on to Rekjavik every half hour or so. You can also reach Iceland by ferry from Denmark via the Faroe Islands.
The best way to get around Iceland is by car. There is no railway service, and long distance bus trips can be more expensive even than flying. Flying is another popular way to get around the island, and is widely used by the population. Be careful however if you´re entering one of the fjords, it can make for quite a bumpy ride.
Accommodation and Apartments for Rent in Iceland
Hotels around the island tend to be fairly basic, but the major cities have a number of Scandinavian style hotels such as Nordica. There are plenty of hostels to be found and as 37 of these belong to Hostelling International Iceland it may be worthwhile purchasing the international membership card to avail of the discount. If you want to take things a bit more into the sphere of local experience, then check out the self-catering or bed and breakfast options on Wimdu. There is a wide range of accommodation available on our website that will suit every budget. From an apartment in Rekjavik to a cottage in the amazing landscape of the South of the island, there are lots of appealing rentals to choose from.

It was enlightening to hear that one might sing "No-hell" in order to get up there. I didn't mind her doing it at all, so it seems that one could.
Hell in Heavenly singing? Your astute observation made me laugh out loud Avocational!
Wishing you a wonderful performance tonight!
PS: If you don't have Dame Joan's "Esclarmonde" recording, check it out -- French Grand Opéra at its best, with so much flawless, seamless singing by that creamy voice! A nice totally unrealistic fairytale opera.

Zespół Folklorystyczny "Szamotuły" – zespół folklorystyczny regionu Wielkopolski założony w 1945 roku.

Jego współzałożycielką, kierowniczką oraz choreografką była Janina Foltyn, propagatorka szamotulskiego folkloru.

W repertuarze zespołu znajdują się tańce i pieśni szamotulskie, a także kurpiowskie, lubelskie, rzeszowskie i śląskie oraz tańce narodowe (krakowiak, polonez, kujawiak z oberkiem). Grupa odtwarza ponadto ludowe obrzędy, w tym "Wesele szamotulskie", które w 2017 roku znalazło się na krajowej krajowej liście niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego ("tradycyjny obrzęd weselny z Szamotuł i okolic"). Zespół zaprezentował widowisko po raz pierwszy w 1950 roku. Podstawę stanowił scenariusz napisany przez Władysława Frąckowiaka oraz opracowanie muzyczne Stanisława Zgaińskiego przygotowane w związku z premierą "Wesela szamotulskiego", która odbyła się w 1932 roku. Współcześnie "Wesele szamotulskie" prezentowane jest w nowej odsłonie (od 2015 roku).

Maeve Gallagher and Ben Healy were the top Irish finishers on day five of the World Road Championships in Innsbruck.
Gallagher finished 26th and Healy 25th in the Women's and Men's Junior Road Races after a day on some of the most arduous terrain ever presented at a World Championships.
Gallagher and Lara Gillespie raced in the 72.7km Women's Junior race. Two difficult climbs served to splinter the peloton into various smaller groups until local rider Laura Stigger sprinted in ahead of three others to take the rainbow jersey. Gallagher gave an excellent account of herself to lead in a group of 17 sprinting for 26th, 4mins 56secs behind Stigger and 51 seconds ahead of fellow-first year junior Gillespie in 54th position.
"I was happy with that considering I'm a first year junior," said Gallagher. "And, yeah, the course was tough. There was no hiding out there. And there are no hills like that in Ireland!"
The Men's Junior Road Race followed with Healy, Aaron Doherty, Archie Ryan and Breandan Gallagher all doing battle for Team Ireland.
The 132.5km race was marred by repeated crashes including a spill just after the halfway point which cost Doherty dear. The Westport-rider hit the ground and was soon back on his feet but he would eventually be listed as a non-finisher. Healy hung on until close to the top when he was picked up by a group led by race winner Remco Evenepoel of Belgium.
"It was not the perfect course for me," Healy said. "I like the more rouleur stuff not the pure climber (courses) so it was pretty brutal but I'm actually pretty happy."
It's the turn of the men's U-23 riders to take centre stage today in their road race. Eddie Dunbar, Michael O'Loughlin, Matt Teggart and Daire Feeley wear green in the race.
Meanwhile, a week of controversy did little to change the inevitable yesterday as Italian Gianni Bugno was re-elected as president of the professional cyclists' union (CPA), defeating the Scot David Millar in a landslide victory of 379 votes to 96.
But the result hardly tells the story of an uncomfortable build-up which saw a swathe of high-profile riders including Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas come together to call for the voting system to be reformed.

You call this a Reward?
© the American Kennel Club, Inc., 2006.
Current: You call this a Reward?
Reprinted with permission from AKC Family Dog, November/December, 2006.
Like all of us, dogs are frequently engaged in cost-benefit analysis. Because response to correction varies from canine to canine, effective training depends absolutely on discovering your particular dog's comfort zone this is defined by both his pleasures (the things for whose enjoyment he'll do whatever you want) and his personal deterrents.... .
My Border Collie Trigger's favorite reward is a game I call Run, Run, Run ... . When she does whatever I've asked, as a reward I allow her to run frantically in a circle around me. Did I train Trigger to run around me? Nope. But when I observed her doing it of her own free will, I opportunistically attached a command to the behavior. Now, in training, she's permitted to do it only on command. Observe your dog, and find her natural bliss, then turn that into a reward.
Some dogs love high-pitched squealing praise or a good game of tug. Wrestling on the ground is also very popular. Toy access cannot be underestimated if your dog is really attached to whatever old shoe or rubber duck you may have. The key is to observe your dog when he is just being himself When he doesn't realize you're watching him, that's the time to figure out his ruling passions.
A break during the training session can be a real treat if your dog is somewhat ambivalent about training, if it's not yet his favorite pastime. How would he react if, after a perfect sit, you praised him, brought him back into the house (or your fenced yard), took off his leash and collar, and said, "You're done!"? The ultimate three-minute training session-a sit and that's it. Now, if you expect to have your dog trained before he's 10 years old, making this the rule isn't very efficient. Nevertheless, the occasional break from a more rigorous training pattern can produce gratifications for him that carry over into the next training session. By contrast, of course, a dog who loves training and thrills to the food/toy reward would not feel rewarded by breaking a session after one sit. Knowing your dog is the key to getting the most out of your training sessions. Is there a potential drawback to leisure as reward? A bit of one possibly. Don't be surprised if just as you begin your next session he seems to be saying, "Okay I did a sit, so I'm done." But the rewards will eventually outweigh any initial confusion. You don't expect a jackpot every time you pull a slotmachine handle. But if you've had the rush of winning once, you will more than likely play again. So it is with dogs. How many rewards of whatever kind will be necessary to fuel interest and keep him working harder and harder?-that all depends on who your dog is!

Baeocera tensingi – gatunek chrząszcza z rodziny kusakowatych, podrodziny łodzikowatych i plemienia Scaphisomatini.

Gatunek ten opisany został w 2003 roku przez Ivana Löbla i Richarda A.B. Leschena. Epitet gatunkowy nadano na cześć Tensinga Norgaja, szerpy który asystował Edmundowi Hillary'emu przy zdobywaniu Mount Everestu.

Chrząszcz o silnie wypukłym z wierzchu ciele długości od 1,65 do 1,75 mm, barwy rudobrązowej z jaśniejszymi końcem odwłoka, czułkami i odnóżami. Jedenasty człon czułków jest umiarkowanie wydłużony. Rzędy przyszwowe na pokrywach są krótkie i sięgają do ich wierzchołkowej 1/5. Rzędy epipleuralne pokryw są wyraźnie zaznaczone. Tylna para skrzydeł jest silnie zredukowana. Epimeryty śródtułowia mają szczątkowe linie mezepimeralne. Zapiersie (metawentryt) jest po bokach grubo punktowane. Odnóża mają golenie tęgie u nasady; te u nóg tylnych są co najwyżej nieco pogrubione ku wierzchołkom. Samiec ma wydłużony gonokoksyt z wierzchołkowym stylusem. Jego edeagus cechuje około dwukrotnie dłuższa od wyrostka wierzchołkowego nabrzmiała część nasadowa, obecność bardzo delikatnych i łuskowatych struktur w woreczku wewnętrznym oraz szerokie, krótkie flagellum. Wyrostek wierzchołkowy w widoku bocznym ma wyraźnie wypukły obrys brzuszny.

Owad endemiczny dla Nowej Zelandii, znany tylko z dystryktu Buller na Wyspie Południowej.

The World Wide Web turned 29 years old this week, but its maker is not happy. Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, has expressed his discontentment on the centralization of the web in his annual letter. He said that the internet today is enslaved by a few giant platforms and there is not enough room for innovation.
Lee has blamed large platforms such as Google and Facebook for controlling content using their dominance and also pointed to their tendency to pluck out their competition by acquiring start-ups that are innovative and challenging, and hiring the best talent in the industry.
The father of the Web said that owing to the emergence of large platforms, many smaller websites had been wiped out and the accessibility of ideas and opinions were being decided by a few with the power to do so. This is detrimental to both innovation and critical thinking, he added.
Lee said it would take people from different walks of society such as technology, business, government, academics and art to fix this issue.
Handing over the reins of such a large entity to just a few organizations could have a crippling effect in the event of any untoward incidents such as an outage or a glitch, as was seen in the case of Amazon Web Services.
Lee brought up another serious issue which is the weaponization of the internet. The internet is now being used to spike manipulation and create rifts in society through misinformation, conspiracy theories and such. Fake accounts and posts on social media play their own nasty role in spreading hatred. The assumption that fake profiles could meddle in elections paints a grim picture.
Lee said large technology-and-social media companies which were driven by the goal to maximize profit were less likely to focus on social good. He said a certain amount of regulation was needed to make sure companies pay heed to social objectives. An example would be laws that give people more control over their social media data.
Apart from Tim Berners-Lee, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff also voiced their opinions on separate occasions about the need for regulation of technology and social media companies.
Lee also hinted at the need to close the digital gap by enabling access to the Internet for everybody. Although the UN has declared internet access as a basic human right, poor people, especially women, living in rural areas in second and third world countries are far from claiming this right.
Lee believes it would take not only creative business models but also an entire support system to bring the internet to these people.
The topic of internet access also brings us to the topic of net neutrality — a debate that refuses to die down. With the FCC's new laws threatening the availability of free internet and with states like Washington bringing in their own laws in favor of net neutrality, the tug of war continues.
Coming back to Tim Berners-Lee's point of enabling all-round internet access, this is one more reason why net neutrality becomes important. If net neutrality went away and the control was handed over to large corporations to hike prices and divert content as they deemed fit, Lee's aspiration of making the internet available to everyone around the world might end up a pipedream. This would be an offence to a great inventor.


Open can and strain over a bowl, reserving oil.
In small bowl, break tuna into 1/2" chuncks, do not mash, you want the full chunks.
Mix all the other ingredients with the tuna, taste for salt, pile high on a good Portuguese roll or sliced semolina.
This sounds delicious! I am oil packed tuna all the way- In some of the Italian markets in Brooklyn you can get it packed in oil in little jars and it's like a whole different food than water packed canned tuna. I make a tartine using a salad like yours and put narrow strips of roasted peppers on top with a shmear of olive tapenade on the bread.
Congratulations on being an editor's pick...all the tuna sandwich recipes, whatever they were called, sound delicious. I don't have a clue how they chose just one!

David "Double D" Devereaux
Incriminating evidence found during an illegal stop should be considered fruit from the poisonous tree. The Supreme Court has long excluded incriminating evidence found as a result of an illegal stop conducted without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Over time the court has embraced exceptions to this rule. But recently the court created an expansive exception which gives law enforcement much more authority to search persons stopped for no reason at all. In the words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, this decision "says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy." This new exception means that anyone can be stopped at any time, regardless of guilt or innocence. What can be done? State legislation is one of the only mechanisms available to provide civil liberty protection beyond limited federal minimums.
The Court's Decision
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 20th that courts need not suppress evidence of a crime obtained through an illegal stop if an outstanding warrant is discovered after the seizure.
The facts of the case: A man named Edward Strieff was seen leaving a location under surveillance for drug dealing based on a tip from an anonymous source. Narcotics detective Douglas Fackrell admitted he had no reason to believe Strieff had done anything wrong. But he still illegally stopped Streiff and detained him while radioing in to check for outstanding warrants. A warrant for a minor traffic offense came back so the detective searched Streiff and discovered a small amount of illegal drugs. The Utah Supreme Court threw out the conviction because it stemmed from an illegal stop.
But in a 5-3 decision the majority said that "officer Fackrell's discovery of the outstanding warrant broke the connection to the unconstitutional stop." As a result, the evidence found in the search could be used in court.
Why The Courts Decision Impacts All Americans, Including Motorcyclists
Justice Sotomayor's dissent explains the dangerous precedent. Police will be able to stop anyone on a "whim or a hunch". That illegal stop can then be extended to search for a minor outstanding warrant, a warrant that the police officer didn't know existed before the illegal seizure. A warrant obtained as a direct result of an illegal stop which can then be used to conduct a search and obtain incriminating evidence. Previous to June 20th, evidence obtained in this way could not be used in court.
The impact of the court's decision is staggering and impacts MANY Americans. Justice Sotomayor noted that state and federal databases say "there are more than 7.8 million outstanding warrants, the vast majority of which are for minor offenses. In New Orleans, a third of the 60,000 arrests in 2011 were of people with outstanding traffic or misdemeanor warrants for infractions such as unpaid tickets."
In some communities the vast majority of people have outstanding warrants. NPR reported on June 20, 2016 that "in Ferguson, Mo., a town with a population of 21,000, 16,000 people had outstanding warrants — in one case for failure to feed the meter with enough quarters, according to the Justice Department."
"We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police," are, as the majority maintains, "isolated" cases, says Sotomayor. "They are the canaries in the coal mine" who warn us that "unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but."
What Can Be Done To Preserve Eroding Liberties?
The answer to an expansive rights base resides in state legislatures and state constitutions. State lawmakers have the power to pass legislation that provides more protection than federal minimums as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
State laws prohibiting illegal stops and providing exclusion of illegally obtained evidence, including relief for victims, would provide protection now unavailable at the federal level. Laws prohibiting motorcycle profiling are an example of such state protections. Supporting motorcycle rights organizations and events is one of the best ways motorcyclists can have a direct impact on state legislation.
Remember, there is no democracy without participation. Silence is consent.

The FN 5.7×28mm (designated as the 5.7 × 28 by the C.I.P.[7]) is a small-caliber, high-velocity, smokeless powder, rebated rim, bottlenecked centerfire cartridge designed for handgun and personal defense weapon (PDW) uses and manufactured by FN Herstal.[8] It is similar in length to the .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire)(5.7×27mm) and to some degree similar also to .22 Hornet or .22 K-Hornet.[8] Unlike many new cartridges, it has no parent case; the complete package was developed from scratch by FN.
The 5.7×28mm was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 PDW and FN Five-seven pistol, in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.[9][10] In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.[10] The tests compared the relative merits of the 5.7×28mm cartridge and the 4.6×30mm cartridge, which was created by Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7×28mm.[10] The NATO group subsequently recommended the 5.7×28mm cartridge, citing superior performance in testing, but the German delegation objected and the standardization process was indefinitely halted.[10]
By 2006, FN's 5.7×28mm firearms — the P90 PDW and Five-Seven pistol — were in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations throughout the world.[11] In the United States, 5.7×28mm firearms are currently used by numerous law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service.[12][13]
In addition to being used in the FN P90 and FN Five-seven firearms, the 5.7×28mm cartridge has subsequently been used in a number of other weapons, such as the AR-57 and FN PS90 carbines.[14][15] Excel Arms has developed four firearms chambered in 5.7×28mm, and MasterPiece Arms offers three different firearms in 5.7×28mm.[16][17] In December, 2019, Ruger announced its new Ruger-57 semi-automatic pistol chambered in this cartridge. [18] The 5.7×28mm cartridge itself is produced in a number of varieties, two of which — the SS195LF and SS197SR — are currently offered by FN to civilian shooters.[14]

Development[edit]
The 5.7×28mm cartridge was designed in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.[10][19] According to the NATO requirement, the new cartridge was to have greater range, accuracy, and terminal performance than the 9×19mm cartridge.[20] Additionally, it was to be capable of penetrating body armor.[20] FN Herstal responded to the NATO requirement by developing the 5.7×28mm cartridge and two associated weapons: the FN P90 personal defense weapon (PDW) and FN Five-seven pistol.[19]
The original 5.7×28mm cartridge, called the SS90, was introduced in 1990.[19] It used a 1.5 gram (23 grain) plastic-core projectile, which was propelled at a muzzle velocity of roughly 850 m/s (2,800 ft/s or Mach 2.5) when fired from the P90.[19] A United States patent application for the projectile design used in the SS90 was filed by FN's Jean-Paul Denis and Marc Neuforge in 1989.[5] U.S. Patent 5,012,743 ("High-Performance Projectile") was received in 1991.[6][21]
When fired from the FN P90, the 5.7×28mm SS190 can penetrate the NATO CRISAT vest or a Level IIIA Kevlar vest at a range of 200 m (219 yd).[22][23]
5.7×28mm SS196SR with a quarter and a ruler
The 5.7×28mm SS90 cartridge was discontinued, and replaced, in 1993, with the 5.7×28mm SS190.[6] The SS190 uses a 2.7-mm (0.11 in) shorter projectile with a weight of 2.0 g (31 grains), which has, when fired from the P90, a muzzle velocity of roughly 715 m/s (2,350 ft/s).[22] The shorter length of the SS190 projectile allows it to be more conveniently used in the 5.7×28mm FN Five-seven pistol, which was also being developed at that time.[6]
In 1993, FN introduced a modified version of the P90 with a magazine adapted to use the SS190 cartridge.[6] Several specialized 5.7×28mm varieties were also developed alongside the SS190, such as the L191 tracer round and the subsonic SB193 bullet for sound-suppressed use.[14] The 5.7×28mm chambered FN Five-seven pistol then went into production in 1998.[24]
NATO evaluation[edit]
In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum.[10] The tests compared the relative merits of the 5.7×28mm cartridge and the HK 4.6×30mm cartridge, which was created by German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7×28mm.[10] The results of the NATO tests were analyzed by a group formed of experts from Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and the group's conclusion was that the 5.7×28mm was "undoubtedly" the more efficient cartridge.[10]
Among other points, the NATO group cited superior effectiveness (27 percent greater) for the 5.7×28mm against unprotected targets and equal effectiveness against protected targets.[10] It also cited less sensitivity to extreme temperatures for the 5.7×28mm, and cited a greater potential risk of barrel erosion with the 4.6×30mm.[10] In addition, the group pointed out that 5.7×28mm is close to the 5.56×45mm NATO by its design and manufacture process, allowing it to be manufactured on existing production lines.[10] The group also noted that 5.7×28mm firearms had existed for a longer period of time than 4.6×30mm firearms, and that the 5.7×28mm FN Five-seven pistol was already in production at that time, while the 4.6×30mm Heckler & Koch UCP pistol was a new concept.[10]
However, the German delegation and others rejected the NATO recommendation that 5.7×28mm be standardized, halting the standardization process indefinitely.[10][20] As a result, both the 4.6×30mm and 5.7×28mm cartridges (and the associated weapons) have been independently adopted by various NATO countries, according to preference; both the P90 and Five-seven are currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations throughout the world.[10]
Present[edit]
In 2004, the SS192 hollow-point cartridge was introduced to civilian shooters alongside the new IOM variant of the Five-seven pistol.[25] After being met with controversy, the SS192 variety was discontinued in the same year, and in 2005 the SS196SR variety was introduced using a 2.6 g (40 grain) Hornady V-Max projectile.[26][27] The SS196 was also quickly discontinued in favor of the newer SS195LF and SS197SR varieties, which are currently offered to civilian shooters for use in 5.7×28mm firearms, followed by the SS198LF variety, which is currently produced but is restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers.[14]
FN's 5.7×28mm ammunition types were briefly manufactured by Olin-Winchester, but today they are made by FN Herstal in Belgium and (since 2006) Fiocchi in the United States.[8][28] In 2009, the National Rifle Association added 5.7×28mm firearms to its NRA Tactical Police Competition standards, allowing law enforcement agencies to compete in this event using 5.7×28mm firearms.[29] Starting in 2012, Federal began producing a new 5.7×28mm round for civilian shooters, designated the AE5728A.[17]
Design details[edit]
The 5.7×28mm cartridge was designed by FN Herstal specifically for use in the FN P90 personal defense weapon and FN Five-seven pistol.[9] Subsequently, it has been used in a number of other weapons, such as the FN PS90 carbine and the AR-57, an upper receiver for M16 and AR-15 rifles.[14][15] The ST Kinetics CPW can be configured for the 5.7×28mm cartridge by changing the barrel and magazine groups.[30] Excel Arms has developed four firearms chambered in 5.7×28mm,[16] and MasterPiece Arms offers three different 5.7×28mm firearms.[17]
The 5.7×28mm cartridge weighs 6.0 grams (93 grains)—roughly half as much as a typical 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge—making extra ammunition less burdensome, or allowing more ammunition to be carried for the same weight.[31][32][33] Since the 5.7×28mm cartridge also has a relatively small diameter, a relatively high number of cartridges can be contained in a magazine.[34] The cartridge has a loud report and produces considerable muzzle flash (when fired from a pistol),[35] but it has roughly 30 percent less recoil than the 9×19mm cartridge, improving controllability.[23][33][36] Due to its high velocity, the 5.7×28mm also exhibits an exceptionally flat trajectory.[33][37]
One of the design intents of the SS190 variety of this cartridge was that it have the ability to penetrate Kevlar protective vests—such as the NATO CRISAT vest—that will stop conventional pistol bullets.[23] Fired from the P90, the SS190 is capable of penetrating the CRISAT vest at a range of 200 m (219 yd), or a Level IIIA Kevlar vest at the same range.[22][23] However, sporting variants of the 5.7×28mm are classified by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as not armor-piercing.[26]
From left to right: 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 5.7×28mm, 5.56×45mm NATO, .300 Winchester Magnum, and a 2.75-inch (70 mm) and 3-inch (76 mm) 12 gauge.
According to FN, the 5.7×28mm cartridge has an effective range of 200 m (219 yd) and a maximum range of 1,800 m (1,969 yd) when fired from the P90,[28] and an effective range of 50 m (55 yd) and a maximum range of 1,510 m (1,651 yd) when fired from the Five-seven.[25] In testing, the SS190 and similar 5.7×28mm projectiles consistently turn base over point ("tumble") as they pass through ballistic gelatin and other media, using the 21.6-mm (.85 in) projectile length[25] to create a larger wound cavity.[9][32][38][39] However, some are skeptical of the bullet's terminal performance, and it is a subject of debate among civilian shooters in the United States.[39]
The 5.7×28mm projectile potentially poses less risk of collateral damage than conventional pistol bullets, because the projectile design limits overpenetration, as well as risk of ricochet.[38][40][41] The lightweight projectile also poses less risk of collateral damage in the event of a miss, because it loses much of its kinetic energy after traveling only 400 m (437 yd), whereas a conventional pistol bullet such as the 9×19mm retains significant energy beyond 800 m (875 yd).[37] This range exceeds the engagement distances expected for the 5.7×28mm cartridge's intended applications, so the cartridge's limited energy at long range is not conversely considered to be disadvantageous.[37]
Since the 5.7×28mm SS190 projectile does not rely on fragmentation or the expansion of a hollow-point bullet, the cartridge (and 5.7×28mm firearms) are considered suitable for military use under the Hague Convention of 1899, which prohibits the use of expanding bullets in warfare.[39]
FN's 5.7×28mm cartridge cases are covered with a special polymer coating for easier extraction with the PS90 carbine due to the high chamber pressures and lack of case tapering.[32] In addition, this coating ensures proper feeding and function in the magazines.[32]

Americans define the shoulder angle at alpha/2 ≈ 35 degrees. The common rifling twist rate for this cartridge is 1:228.6 mm (1:9 in), 8 grooves, Ø lands = 5.53 mm, Ø grooves = 5.62 mm, land width = 1.63 mm and the recommended primer type is small rifle.[7]
According to the official C.I.P. (Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'Epreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives) rulings, the 5.7×28mm can handle up to 3,450 bar (345 MPa; 50,000 psi) Pmax (the nominal maximum) piezo[clarification needed] pressure. In C.I.P. regulated countries, every rifle cartridge combination has to be proofed at 125% of this maximum C.I.P. pressure to be certified for sale to consumers, referred to as "PE". This means that 5.7×28mm chambered arms in C.I.P. regulated countries are currently (2018) proof tested at 4,313 bar (431.3 MPa; 62,550 psi) PE piezo pressure.[7]
Cartridge types[edit]
SS90 prototype
The SS90 was an early prototype round used only in the earliest examples of the P90. It used a lightweight 1.5-g (23 grain) full metal jacket bullet with a polymer core, which it propelled at a muzzle velocity of roughly 850 m/s (2,800 ft/s). The SS90 was abandoned in 1994 in favor of the heavier and shorter 2.7 mm (0.11 in) SS190 projectile.[19]
SS190 duty
The SS190 FMJ, a refinement of the SS90, was introduced in 1993.[6] It offered superior performance over the prototype projectile as well as slightly reduced length.[6] The latter change allowed it to be used more conveniently in the Five-seven pistol, also being developed at that time.[19] Fired from the P90, the SS190 propels a 2.0-g (31 grain) bullet at a muzzle velocity of roughly 715 m/s (2,350 ft/s). It has a steel penetrator and an aluminum core.[42] The SS190 has been manufactured with a plain, black, and a black-on-white tip color.[14][43][44] It is classified by the ATF as armor-piercing (AP) handgun ammunition, and its sale is currently restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers.[14][26]
In testing done by Houston Police Department SWAT, the SS190 fired from the P90 into bare ballistic gelatin exhibited penetration depths ranging from 28 to 34 cm (11 to 13.5 in).[22] In testing in 1999 by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the SS190 fired from the P90 at a distance of 25 m (27 yd) exhibited an average penetration depth of 25 cm (9.85 in) in ballistic gelatin after passing through a Level II Kevlar vest.[40]
L191 cartridge and box
L191 tracer
The L191 (also formerly called the SS191)[45] is a tracer cartridge designed for easier bullet spotting in dim light.[14] Combustible chemicals packed in the rear of the L191 projectile create a light trail visible up to 200 m (219 yd).[44] The L191 has been manufactured with red and red-on-black tips.[14][43] The performance and trajectory of the L191 is identical to the SS190.[31][33] For this reason, it is also classified by the ATF as armor-piercing handgun ammunition, and its sale is currently restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers.[14][26]
SS192 hollow-point
The SS192 was discontinued in late 2004.[45] It used a 1.8 g (28 grain) hollow point bullet with a copper jacket and an aluminum core.[25] The projectile had a length of 21.6 mm (.85 in).[25] It had an unmarked hollow nose with a depth of 7.6 mm (0.3 in) and a 0.8-mm (0.03 in) opening.[25] The SS192 was classified by the ATF as not armor-piercing, and in testing by FNH USA it did not penetrate a Level IIIA vest when fired from the Five-seven.[26]
SB193 subsonic
The SB193 (also formerly called the SS193)[45] is a subsonic cartridge featuring a 3.6-g (55 grain) Sierra Game King FMJBT (FMJ boat tail) projectile. The SB193's sub-sonic speed eliminates the distinctive "crack" created by supersonic rounds. The muzzle report is also reduced when using the sub-sonic ammunition together with a suppressor. Due to the greatly decreased muzzle velocity, the SB193 benefits from a slightly reduced recoil force of 1.3 kgm/s.[46] The SB193 can be identified by its white tip color.[14] Its sale is currently restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers.[14]
T194 training
The T194 training round was discontinued in 2002. It could be considered an early version of the SS192 or SS195. It used the same 1.8-g (28 grain) copper-jacketed aluminum core bullet, propelled at the same muzzle velocity.[31] It had a green tip.[31]
SS195LF cartridge and box
SS195LF (lead free)
The SS195LF is a commercially available cartridge that features a lead-free primer and produces ballistics similar to the SS192 round, which it replaced in late 2004.[45] It uses the same 1.8-g (28 grain) copper-jacketed aluminum core bullet as the SS192, and it can be identified by the unmarked, hollow void at the tip and the silver-colored primer.[14] The SS195 is classified by the ATF as not armor-piercing, and it is currently manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium.[8][26]
SS196SR (sporting round)
The SS196SR was introduced in 2005 and it is now discontinued in favor of the SS197SR cartridge.[27] It featured a lead core 2.6-g (40 grain) Hornady V-Max bullet which it propelled at a muzzle velocity of roughly 500 m/s (1,650 ft/s) when fired from the Five-seven.[27] The polycarbonate tip used in the V-Max bullet acted as a wedge, enhancing expansion of the bullet. The SS196 was classified by the ATF as not armor-piercing, and in testing by FNH USA it did not penetrate a Level II vest when fired from the Five-seven.[26] The SS196 could be identified by its red polymer tip.[45]
SS197SR (left) and 5.56×45mm NATO (right)
The SS197SR is currently offered to civilian shooters in addition to the SS195LF.[14] It uses the same lead core 2.6-g (40 grain) Hornady V-Max projectile as the SS196SR,[8] but it is loaded for a muzzle velocity roughly 30-m/s (100 ft/s) higher. The projectile has a blue-colored polymer tip instead of the red color used in the SS196 projectile tip.[14] The SS197 has been manufactured by Fiocchi, under contract for FN Herstal, since 2006[8][47][48] and it is distributed in the United States by Federal Cartridge Company.[14]
The SS198LF uses the same lead-free projectile and primer as the SS195LF,[43] but propels it at roughly a 30-m/s (100 ft/s) higher muzzle velocity. It's manufactured in Belgium. It has a green painted tip, and its sale is currently restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers,[14] but is widely available through retailers to civilian customers.
American Eagle (AE5728A) TMJ
Since 2012, Federal Cartridge Company markets a loading produced by Fiocchi using a 5.7×28mm round under their American Eagle brand.[17] Designated the AE5728A, this cartridge uses a 40-grain total metal jacket (TMJ) projectile, that is atypical in that it does not use a copper plated bullet; sectioned pictures show a very thick full copper jacket. The AE5728A casings are of FN manufacture, and the muzzle velocity is slightly lower than that of the SS197SR.[citation needed]
Non-FN ammunition
Elite Ammunition manufactures a wide variety of loaded 5.7×28mm ammunition offerings, including the "T6B" and "S4M" cartridges.[49] Belgian ammunition manufacturer VBR-Belgium has also developed specialized 5.7×28mm projectiles designed for armor penetration and controlled fragmentation.[50]
Ammunition is also produced by several small companies Detroit Ammunition R&R ELP Vanguard Desert Ammo
Handloading is possible with 5.7×28mm ammunition, and 5.7-mm (.224 in) bullets are widely available due to use in .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO cartridges.[8] Handloaders have noted that the 5.7×28mm cartridge is very sensitive to small changes in powder charge or overall length (OAL) with a bullet inserted.[35] Bullets weighing 2.6 g (40 grains) or less are recommended for optimal use in 5.7×28mm applications,[35] but the 228.6 mm (1:9 in) rifling twist rate (distance the bullet must travel to complete one full revolution) used in the firearms' barrels will stabilize bullets weighing up to 4.5 g (70 grains).[8]

Wikipedia articles needing clarification from June 2018


Last week saw the release of the IEAs 2009 World Economic Outlook on which we will be providing some analysis in the coming weeks. The night before its release, the Guardian ran an interview with a 'whistleblower' claiming that key oil figures were distorted by US pressure so as to avoid 'panic buying', claims the IEA subsequently denied. Today, we see the fourth Guardian article in a week on the urgency of Peak Oil.
Colin Campbell, one of the worlds preeminent depletion analysts, and co-author of the 1998 Scientific American article, "The End of Cheap Oil", drafted a reply to the Guardian on these issues. Below the fold is Dr. Campbell's letter, which gives some relevant history as to how the oil depletion debate has unfolded over time in the worlds energy agencies.
I was most impressed that you should give such prominence in your issue of 10th November to the role of the International Energy Agency in assessing the status of oil depletion. It is one of the most important issues facing the modern world, given the current dependence on cheap oil-based energy.
I can provide you with some more information on the topic, touching on my own experience. I first became aware of the issue in 1969 in Chicago when I was part of a team making a world evaluation for Amoco (now part of BP). Later when I was managing Fina in Norway, I had the company sponsor a research project on the subject with the Norwegian authorities. We used public reserve data, as I had not then appreciated how unreliable they were.
The results were published as The Golden Century of Oil 1950-2050 (Kluwer Academic). This attracted the interest of Petroconsultants, a company based in Geneva that was used by the international oil companies to assemble a valid database on oil activities around the world including the size of discoveries and drilling statistics. They invited me to redo the study but this time using their comprehensive database of virtually all the world's fields. I was joined in this project by Jean Laherrère, formerly Exploration Manager of the French oil company TOTAL, who had developed various analytical techniques. The resulting study was published at $50 000 a copy, but was later suppressed under pressure from a major US oil company, which had better remain nameless. However, Petroconsultants co-published a book, The Coming Oil Crisis (Multi-Science), which I wrote summarising the results, and also agreed that Laherrère and I should accept an invitation to write an article for the Scientific American : The End of Cheap Oil (March 1998).
The IEA purchased this book and contacted me, sending an analyst to spend a week going through the data. It was evident that the team within the IEA working on the subject was fully convinced and saw its importance. They then produced a report for the G8 Ministers, meeting in Moscow (International Energy Agency, 1998, World Energy Prospects to 2020; Report to G8 Energy Ministers, March 31 www.iea.org/g8/world/oilsup.htm). The text was bland enough but it contained a critical table showing that oil demand would outpace supply by 2010, save for the entry of an item called Unidentified Unconventional, whose supply was shown to meet as much as 20% of the world's needs by 2020. Having managed to get it past the G8 Ministers, the IEA team was able to include it in the World Energy Outlook for 1998.
In effect, the Unidentified Unconventional was a coded message for shortage. I explained this to a journalist who contacted the element within the IEA which was pleased that this important hidden message should get out. But when it was published (Fleming D., 1999, The next oil shock? Prospect April), the IEA evidently got into serious trouble with its masters in the OECD governments, and in the next issue of the World Energy Outlook, the Unidentified Unconventional became Conventional Non-OPEC, without comment or explanation.
The primary function of the IEA was to supervise OECD strategic stocks, which in turn were perceived to be a certain defence against any excessive demands by OPEC. So the IEA came to see its role as protecting consumers' interests, and it therefore had every reason to downplay any notion of depletion and finite limits imposed by Nature, because indirectly such would strengthen the hand of OPEC.
Petroconsultants was subsequently acquired by IHS in the United States, and the special relationship with the international oil companies was lost, affecting the quality of the data. It may also have found itself under pressure from commercial interests and the principal OPEC countries.
It is worth commenting briefly on the reporting of reserves. There is no particular technical difficulty in assessing the size of an oilfield early in its life, although naturally there is a certain range in the estimates. The reporting of the reserves has however been subject to two main distortions.
First, the oil companies were subject to strict US Stock Exchange rules designed to prevent fraudulent exaggeration. It made sense therefore for them to report the minimum needed for financial purposes, and then revise the estimates upwards over time, giving a comforting, if misleading, image of steady growth.
Second, the OPEC countries found themselves competing for quotas in the 1980s when prices were low. Quota was based on reported reserves, which prompted Kuwait to add 50% overnight in 1985 although nothing particular had changed in the oilfields. It may in fact have started reporting total found, not remaining reserves. The other OPEC countries later reacted with invalid increases to protect their quota (see table). To imagine that new discovery should exactly match production in Abu Dhabi to leave unchanged reserves is clearly absurd.
Despite these difficulties, it is possible to make a reasonable assessment of the situation starting with the sound historical data from Petroconsultants. The following graph shows my current assessment.
Briefly, Regular Conventional Oil peaked in 2005. The shortfall was made good by expensive oil mainly from deepwater fields and Canadian tarsands, which led to rising prices. This trend was spotted by shrewd traders who started buying contracts on the Futures Market, while the industry maintained high levels of storage, watching it appreciate in value at no cost or effort. The rising prices also delivered a flood of petrodollars to the Middle East where it still costs on average about $10 to produce a barrel. The surplus was in turn partly returned to Western financial institutions, contributing to their instability. The surge in price reached extreme levels in mid 2008, approaching $150 a barrel, which prompted the shrewd traders to start selling short on the Futures Market and for the industry to start draining their tanks before they lost value. The high prices in parallel triggered an economic recession which dampened demand causing prices to fall back to 2005 levels before edging up to around $75 today.
It is more difficult to evaluate the Non-Conventional oils, comprising tarsands and heavy oils, deepwater oil, Polar oil and Natural Gas Liquids, but the above graph suggests that the peak of all categories was passed in 2008. A debate rages as to the precise date of overall peak but rather misses the point when what matters is the vision of long decline on the other side of it.
Given the central role of oil in the modern economy, the peak of production promises to be a turning point of historical magnitude. It seems that banks have been lending more than they had on deposit, confident that Tomorrow's Economic Growth was collateral for Today's Debt, without recognising that the expansion was fuelled by cheap oil-based energy. The Governments are now printing yet more money under Keynesian principles in the hope of restoring past prosperity, which may meet with a brief success. But if it does, it would stimulate the demand for oil that would again soon breach the supply limits, leading to another price shock and an even worse consequent economic depression. In fact, today 28 billion barrels a year support a world population on 6.7 billion people, but by 2050 the supply will have fallen to a level able to support less than half that number in their present way of life.
There is a great deal that can be done to reduce waste and bring in renewable energies. Coal and nuclear power can also ease the transition although they are themselves also subject to depletion. The challenges are however great, and it is clear that governments must move urgently to prepare for what unfolds. In parallel come the challenges of climate change that are to a degree related to oil supply.
There may well now be a certain awakening, and the OECD governments may begin to seek an umbrella under which to introduce new national policies. This may in turn allow the IEA to come forward with more realistic assessments of the true situation. The media too has an important role to alert people at large of what unfolds. It underlines the value of the article you have published for which you deserve every credit.

Scruples and the camera: Your responsibility as a maker of media
Matthew York
Scruples. Although the word sounds like the name of fun and fruity breakfast cereal from my childhood, it is a serious term describing a challenging moral decision that must be made when a person is confronted with an ethical predicament. In the mid 1980s, the toy industry introduced a card game called A Question of Scruples: The Game of Moral Dilemmas which challenged players to an introspective game of 'what would you do?' if you were confronted by the situation printed on the card. To each question, players respond with an answer of Yes, No or Depends. The questions range from low significance: "You are walking along a busy street and see someone collecting money for charity. Do you avoid him?" to extreme significance: "You suspect your neighbors are abusing their children. Do you call the authorities?"
While the game of Scruples can be a fun way to put your friends into awkward hypothetical situations that make them squirm, we are sometimes confronted with serious ethical dilemmas in real life situations. As makers of media who are often carrying cameras, an ethical predicament that we need to be prepared to address is this: In the midst of a tragic event or circumstance, what is the responsibility of the videographer? Do you keep recording to document the event or put down the camera and intervene? Which action has a greater impact in inspiring action and change?
Documentary filmmakers and news journalists who produce video in sometimes volatile run-and-gun environments have a higher probability than most shooters of being confronted with such a decision, but it is one that any one of us may face at any moment. Consider the incredible impact that well known caught-on-camera videos have had on our culture.
Consider the incredible impact that well known caught-on-camera videos have had on our culture.
One example occurred on March 3, 1991 when a citizen named George Holliday filmed from the balcony of his apartment as Los Angeles Police Department officers tasered and violently beat construction worker Rodney King who had evaded their pursuit. The footage, which showed police using excessive force on Mr. King, was aired by Los Angeles TV station KTLA and was picked up by stations nationwide, sparking outrage and raising public awareness of police tactics. Violent riots erupted in Los Angeles after a controversial jury verdict. The justified outrage this video ultimately generated raised awareness to a serious problem that needed to be stopped, but the 1992 LA riots resulted in 63 deaths, more than 2,000 injuries, and nearly $1 billion in losses to businesses. If you were there with your camera, what would you have done?
Whether you are confronted with witnessing a violent act like this one, or a harrowing natural disaster, a heinous crime, an injustice, an ill or injured animal, a catastrophic fire, or a terrible life-threatening accident of some kind, you may have to make a decision to pick up your camera to film the incident or put your camera down and intervene. The way you respond in such a situation may be more of an in-the-moment reaction than a premeditated plan. Still, I would like to challenge you to think about what you would do if you were confronted with such situations, and ask you to choose to help in the best way that you can; preferring to act in the best interest of those affected by the incident in the most significant way possible. Sometimes that means giving literal aid; other times it means capturing a traumatic event on video so that justice can be brought about later. Whether you choose to record or not record is a decision that each of us must make in the moment.

Personally I keep shooting unless a small interruption in shooting will make a big difference to life and death as in the 'man falls on the subway tracks' story.
Now, I'm a street and doc still photog. I also do lots of experimental filmmaking. Doing candid street work requires one to go against normal societal standards of asking permission before you shoot.
Bottom line for me is; is it legal? If it is legal and I like it…I shoot.

I do this everyday. My job is to document breaking news and not get involved. As a Stringer, I have been assaulted on numerous occasions by both law enforcement and regular people I do my best to protect myself and still get my story. I just wish people knew what rights they really do have and stop making them up as they go, and also that they knew the different laws that protect the media. Here in California, we have laws that give the media access and other rights that other states do not give.

Giving first aid or calling 911 would take precedent over filming but otherwise I keep filming
Jim Schweickart June 28, 2019 At 7:00 PM
If you were a video journalist being beaten by a violent, armed mob…would you prefer your fellow video journalists to stand by and video your death for posterity…or come to your aid and save your life?
Doug Mayfield June 30, 2019 At 12:54 PM
Thanks for the article. I think the issue which you raise can also apply to narrative film making. For example, I began to watch a feature film (Title omitted. It was a 'Part 2' so apparently 'Part 1' had made money) in which a woman was disemboweled on screen in the first few minutes. I turned off the movie, made note of those who made it, and vowed never to watch anything from them again. Of course, there is no moral issue, or issue of injustice potentially unchecked, in making such a film but for me, there are strong aesthetic issues involved, and we do as film makers have a responsibility to our craft,

Do we ever learn? About the politics of recurring mistakes
Anthropocene: how humans shape life on Earth
One country, many borders - an attempt to define Georgia
Pink, blue and gender stereotyping
Three weeks ago, I spent some time in Armenia. Before the journey the question: "Where is Armenia?" was asked several times. It seems like it has not appeared on the map of many people's mind in Europe. Sure, it is a small country, but nevertheless not new on the globe. I have to admit, the one thing I did connect to it is its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. But while I know basic facts of its existence, one person of our group did not even think about bringing her passport, because she did not know that we would leave the EU.
I assume this issue is rooted in the lacking appearance of this Caucasian country in the international attention and news. And that despite the major events that took place in its capital Yerevan last spring. Events that led to a revolution that changed a whole country politically. No one seemed to have noticed. Or did I just not pay enough attention to the news?
Armenia's Revolution
It is called the Velvet Revolution. The peaceful protest started with an MP of the opposition, Nikol Pashinyan, who did a two weeks protest march towards the capital. Over time, people from all over the country, all regions and age groups joined the movement. They skipped school and work, everything to show their will. This act of civil disobedience was a sign against corruption, despotism and nepotism of the ruling party and against the re-election of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan. The national flag was shown as support for the protest.
The movement and its leader became the hope for more freedom, justice and fairness in the elections, for more real democracy. The protests grew bigger and forced Sargsyan to resign and eventually Pashinyan became Prime Minister. The pressure of the public had for once achieved something of major importance. And not only that, it did it in a solely peaceful, non-violent way.
I read about this on my journey, while preparing myself for this new country. I was surprised that I had no idea about what has been going on there, only one year ago. Being in the country and meeting many of the Armenian people opened up a new perspective and source of information. Our new friends told us passionately about how they had joined the protests. They told us about all the people that had gathered on the squares of Yerevan. One explained that he could not go to the capital at that time and it was clear that he was still sad to have missed out on those important days. Everybody in Armenia seems to have been part of this- either through physical presence or at least mental support. New information for me. Why did something, that is so essentially important to the life of nearly three million people, not even reach my ear? Or my memory?
Armenia, Armenians and protest
The protests show a side and extent of civil activism that I did not expect. It is inspiring. The people of Armenia care about their country and they take action when necessary. In the area around the mountain town Jermuk, dozens of people are protesting against mining done by big corporations, with the aim to preserve the nature and the land. When they want something, they take it into their own hands. Something we could learn from them. If we would just hear about it.
The personal connection has left behind an interest in Armenia which teaches to listen more carefully, to keep an eye out for what is said and what is not said in the news. The questions arise: what is given priority in the news? What or who decides, what is interests the world? What is important for you, for me, for anyone to know?

Fouad El Mouhandes (; * 6. September 1924 in Kairo, Ägypten; † 16. September 2006 ebenda) war einer der bekanntesten ägyptischen Schauspieler und Komödianten.
Mouhandes war ein Pionier des ägyptischen Kinos. Einige der größten ägyptischen Comedians wie zum Beispiel Adel Imam waren seine Schüler.

Leben

Fouad El Mouhandes wuchs in einer wohlhabenden Familie im Kairoer Stadtteil Abbassia auf; sein Vater, der Professor für Linguistik und Leiter der Akademie der Arabischen Sprache Zaki El Mouhandes, ermutigte den Sohn zur Schauspielerei. In seiner Jugend war er bereits Amateurschauspieler. Der Komödiant Najib Al-Rihani und Charlie Chaplin inspirierten ihn während seines Wirtschaftsstudiums an der Universität Kairo, das er mit dem Bachelorgrad beendete.

In den 1950er Jahren spielte El Mouhandes vor allem Nebenrollen in Filmen und trat für das Radio auf. So begann er 1953 bei der Radiosendung Sa'a Li-Qalbak () und war in einer weiteren allmorgendlichen halbstündigen Radiosendung, , zu hören. 25 Jahre lang leitete er die Sendung , in der er den Gesellschaftskritiker und -reformer spielte. 1955 gründete er die Theatergruppe Sa'a Li-Qalbak mit und trat in vielen ihrer Stücke auf.

1954 spielte er in seinem ersten Film, Bent el-Giran (), mit. Einige weitere Filmrollen waren in El-Ard El-Tayyeba (), Bein El-Atlaal (), Amirat El-Arab (), Es-Sahera Es-Sagheera (), Nahr El-Hob (), Almaz wi Abdo El-Hamuli () und El-Shumoo' El-Sawda (). Er arbeitete auch für mehrere Seifenopern im Fernsehen.

In den 1960er Jahren hatte er seine größten Erfolge, insbesondere in gemeinsamen Filmen und Theaterstücken mit seiner Ehefrau Shwikar, die ihn zum Star machten. Seine Rolle im Film Aa'ilat Zizi () von Regisseur Futin Abd al-Wahhab war eine seiner bekanntesten Rollen. Die Qualität der Filme, in denen El Mouhandes mitspielte, hielt er für mäßig und sah sein künstlerisches Hauptwerk im Theater, für das er den Großteil seiner Einnahmen aus dem Film- und Fernsehgeschäft aufwendete. Neben seinem musikalischen Talent gilt seine schauspielerische Wandlungsfähigkeit als herausragend. Nach einer Reihe von Auszeichnungen erhielt er 1999 eine Ehrung des Cairo International Film Festival und 2005 den Staatlichen Verdienstorden Ägyptens.

Er hatte mit seiner ersten Ehefrau, einer Nachbarstochter, von der er geschieden wurde, zwei Söhne, und mit seiner zweiten Frau Shwikar eine Stieftochter.
