Pope urges help for poor at low-key Christmas Eve Mass curbed by COVID
December 24, 2020, 10:34 pm	 South Africa LifeStyle
Pope Francis celebrated a low-key Christmas Eve Mass made sombre by the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday and said people should feel obliged to help the needy because Jesus himself was born a poor outcast.
The Mass was held in a rear section of St. Peter's Basilica with fewer than 100 participants and only small number of cardinals and bishops. It is usually held in the main section of the basilica and attended by up to 10 000 people, including the diplomatic corps representing nearly 200 countries.
Everyone except the pope and the small choir wore a mask during the Mass, which began two hours earlier than usual so that even the limited number of people who attended could return home by a 10 p.m. curfew.
"The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God," Francis said in his homily.
Francis said Christmas should make everyone reflect on "our injustice towards so many of our brothers and sisters" instead of pursuing "our endless desire for possessions" and ephemeral pleasures.
"God came among us in poverty and need, to tell us that in serving the poor, we will show our love for him," said the 84-year-old pope, celebrating the eighth Christmas of his pontificate.
On Friday, the Pope will read his "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) message from a hall inside the Vatican instead of from the central balcony of St. Peter's Square, an event that usually attracts tens of thousands of people.
Italians are under a nationwide lockdown for much of the Christmas and New Year holidays. Non-essential shops will be shut between December 24-27, December 31-January 3 and January 5-6. On these days, people are allowed to travel only for work, health or emergency reasons.
The restrictions mean people will not be able to go to St. Peter's Square or the basilica. All papal events between December 24 and January 6 are taking place indoors with little or no public participation and being live streamed on the internet and broadcast on television.

No two smile makeovers are the same. Dr. Nishime offers complete and partial makeovers personalized to match your aesthetic goals and dental health.
A smile makeover merely means having at least one cosmetic dentistry procedure to enhance your smile. Smile makeovers include many procedures, from basic teeth whitening to complete mouth reconstruction.
Remember, no two smile makeovers are the same. Your makeover might contain one of these options or a combination of treatments over time. Dr. Nishime helps you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to help you determine the best procedure for you.
Then, it's time to discuss your choices for a smile makeover. Dr. Nishime likes to educate patients and works with you to devise the right makeover treatment plan.
For a small fee, Dr. Nishime can show you what the final result of your smile makeover might look like so you can decide whether or not you want to proceed. Enjoy what you see? Keep moving with your smile makeover! The amount you already paid will be applied to the cost of your procedure.
Dr. Nishime believes in a conservative approach to dentistry and won't recommend a procedure unless it benefits the health and beauty of your smile. He also thinks that cosmetic dentistry should be accessible and affordable to all, no matter who you are or what you do.
If you think your smile could be brighter or more radiant, call Advanced Restorative Dentistry, or book an appointment online today.


This was the year everything conspired against Fun Fun Fun Fest. Death Grips, Death Cab for Cutie and Guided by Voices all canceled; construction forced the festival to take place in a more condensed area of Auditorium Shores; and computer problems Friday resulted in a wristband check-in line that stretched for blocks and caused a three-hour backup. This was far from the smooth start that Fun Fun Fun Fest probably wanted.
Those problems, however, wound up being negligible once the festival finally kicked off. Fun Fun Fun Fest is still one of the better festivals in Austin; a combination of cool weather and even cooler bands adds up to something that rivals Austin City Limits Music Festival and South By Southwest.
Julie Budet, member of French electronic duo Yelle, pumped up crowds Friday at the Blue stage with typical Euro-pop flair. On the same stage Saturday night, hip-hop legend Nas needed nothing but a mic and a DJ to remind crowds that he is one of the best to play the game. Fred Armisen, "Portlandia" star and beloved "Saturday Night Live" comedian, took to the Yellow stage Saturday, as well.
Of course, Fun Fun Fun Fest does not belong to the headliners. It belongs to the smaller bands, who finally receive recognition at a proper festival. SZA performed an airy and artistic form of R&B on Friday that was one of the most beautiful and groovy sets of the weekend. Canadian electro-pop group Majical Cloudz dove into the crowd three songs into its set and would perform there for the rest of their show. Audience members crowded around front man Devon Welsh and sang along to some of the most heartfelt lines of the festival.
METZ assaulted eardrums with blast after blast of noise rock, resulting in a mosh pit that didn't let up for a moment. They were topped only by the front man of shoegaze black metal band Deafheaven, who needed to only raise his hands to illicit roaring screams from the crowd.
The taco cannon, a festival staple, made an appearance Sunday night for fans awaiting headliners such as Yo La Tengo and cult followers of Neutral Milk Hotel. The power of these moments was matched by the music, which managed to unite crowds in an atmosphere of appreciation. While Fun Fun Fun Fest will continue to grow in both scope and attendance as the Austin population rises, dedicated fans hope that the festival maintains its current attitude.

If a customer asks their credit or debit card issuer to reverse a transaction, they can reclaim the value of the transaction from you. This is known as a 'chargeback'.
a customer's card was used without their permission to purchase the item fraudulently.
You can be charged up to 120 days after the transaction has been debited or from when the goods or services were due to be received.
If a customer uses their PIN, you won't be liable for a chargeback unless the goods aren't as described or faulty.
Where you cannot accept a PIN, a clear signature will help but there is no guarantee against a chargeback.
For card-not-present transactions, such as online sales, the risks of chargeback will be higher.
If you want to set up a business that takes a sum of money from a customer every time they use a service, for example, online trading, you may need to be authorized by the Financial Services Authority.
If customers pay you in large amounts of cash, your business may need to be registered for an anti-money laundering scheme.
You must follow the rules on storing customer data to protect their financial information.

Q: XML Schema - Is it possible to allow a certain element only once in the whole document? I want to extend XHTML to use it as a template language. I have a marker tag like
 <mylang:content/>

I want this marker tag to appear where div or p can appear, but only once in the complete document. I think it is not possible with XML Schema, but maybe some XML Schema guru knows better.
Is it possible to allow a certain element only once in the whole document when the containing element is allowed to appear unbounded?

A: If you know that the root element will be , then I think you can define a constraint on the doc element
<xs:unique name="one-content">
  <xs:selector xpath=".//mylang:content"/>
  <xs:field xpath="."/>
</xs:unique>

This says that all mylang:content descendants must have distinct string values; but since the element is constrained to be empty, if every element must be distinct then there can only be one element.
In XSD 1.1 of course it becomes much easier with assertions.

A: Full Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <xs:element name="html">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="body" />
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="body">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                <xs:element ref="content" />
            </xs:choice>
        </xs:complexType>
        <xs:unique name="content">
            <xs:selector xpath="content" />
            <xs:field xpath="." />
        </xs:unique>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="content">
        <xs:simpleType>
            <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
                <xs:maxLength value="0" />
            </xs:restriction>
        </xs:simpleType>
    </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Beware of:
- if you add a targetNamespace in your schema, the unique constraint suddenly stops working. This is because xs:unique, xs:key and xs:keyref dont use default namespace. you have to change your schema like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
   xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <xs:element name="html">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="body" />
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="body">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                <xs:element ref="content" />
            </xs:choice>
        </xs:complexType>
        <xs:unique name="content" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
            <xs:selector xpath="content" />
            <xs:field xpath="." />
        </xs:unique>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="content">
        <xs:simpleType>
            <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
                <xs:maxLength value="0" />
            </xs:restriction>
        </xs:simpleType>
    </xs:element>

And we can't wait for our second childhood.
Many think the first assumption is debatable.
You can't keep a good (wo)man down.

Au Lapin Agile es el cabaré más antiguo de París. El pequeño edificio, situado en la colina de Montmartre, en el número 22, de la calle Saules, en el distrito 18, fue salvado de la demolición por el artista parisino Aristide Bruant hacia 1900.

El cabaret, que empezó llamándose Cabaré de los Asesinos, debe su nombre a un juego de palabras entre Gill y lapin (en francés, conejo). En 1875, el propietario encargó al caricaturista André Gill un emblema para el local. Gill pintó en el muro exterior un conejo en el momento de escaparse de una cazuela y el cabaré empezó a ser conocido con el nombre de lapin à Gill (conejo de Gill), que pronto se convirtió en lapin agile (conejo ágil).

En su época de mayor esplendor, bajo la dirección del músico, pintor, poeta y animador Frédéric Gérard (conocido como Père Frédé y propietario del burro Lolo —que se haría famoso como el supuesto pintor Joachim-Raphaël Boronali—, de la cabra Blanchette, del mono Théodule, de un perro, de un cuervo y de ratones blancos), el cabaré era frecuentado por  Guillaume Apollinaire, Francis Carco, Roland Dorgelés, Charles Dullin, Maurice Utrillo, Max Jacob, Amedeo Modigliani y Pablo Picasso.

Todavía a principios del  el cabaré sigue abierto, siendo frecuentado por un público muy cosmopolita.

Home »	Musicians » Lonnie Johnson
Lonnie Johnson was the "governor" of blues guitar in the 1920's. His playing combined incredibly fast melodic runs with evocative blues licks. His playing was the forerunner of jazz and rock guitar. Lonnie Johnson's playing is highly challenging, provocative and exciting. His recordings from the 1920s were highly influential among bluesmen and widely imitated. His incredible skill on the fingerboard also made him popular among jazz players. Lonnie recorded countless solo records as well as accompanying Texas Alexander, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Eddie Lang. Though he did not possess a country blues background, the New Orleans-born guitarist exemplified a high caliber of musicianship while retaining a strong feeling for the blues. His fluid single note lines and advanced flat-picking technique served as a model for early jazz guitarists and a host of Delta bluesmen.
Born and raised in New Orleans, by his late teens, Lonnie played in his father's family band at banquets and weddings, performing on guitar and violin alongside his brother James "Steady Roll" Johnson. Johnson eventually played jobs with jazz trumpeter Punch Miller in New Orleans' Storyville district. He also played blues on violin at the Iroquois Theatre and Pineri's in the French Quarter. Though folk blues songsters were not the most popular form of entertainment in the cultural world of New Orleans, Johnson no doubt absorbed their influence, (he worked the Storyville district from 1910-1917)
In 1917 Johnson traveled to England to perform with a revue show. In 1920 Johnson traveled to St. Louis and, for the next two years, performed with Missouri-born trumpeter Charlie Creath's Jazz-O-Maniacs on riverboat steamer SS St. Paul, and on the SS Capitol with the band of Kentucky-born pianist Fate Marable. Johnson also spent a considerable amount of time in St. Louis, Texas, New York, and Chicago while performing in theaters and on riverboats, strongly influencing the musicians based in each of these areas.
In 1924 Johnson toured with the comedy act of Clenn & Jenkins and performed with his brother James, at Katy's Red Club in East St. Louis. He subsequently worked the TOBA circuit, and by 1925 won a talent contest at the Booker T. Washington Theatre sponsored by Okeh Records; as part of the prize he received a recording contract with the company. In November 1925, just prior to his own session for Okeh, he made his recording debut with Creath's Jazz-O-Maniacs, playing violin and singing on "Won't Don't Blues." Two days later, he recorded his first session for Okeh, accompanied by violinist De Louise Searcy and pianist John Arnold, turning out two numbers "Mr. Johnson's Blues" and the hit "Falling Rain Blues." Also at the Okeh studios he recorded with Searcy and his brother James, a session in which members of the trio each alternated between playing piano, guitar and violin. As a house musician for Okeh, 1925-1929, Johnson cut sessions with a host of artists as well as numerous recordings under his own name. In August 1927 he took part in several New York sessions for Okeh which debuted blues singer Alger "Texas" Alexander--a country-bred Texas blues vocalist who sang in a style shaped from field hollers and the chants of prison work gangs.
In October 1927, Johnson recorded with pianist John Erby, cutting "6/88 Glide," an originally unreleased number that has, in recent years, received critical attention among jazz scholars. Composed in thirty-two bar form, demonstrates the versatility that enabled [Johnson] to play blues, jazz, or pop with equal skill. Recorded at a time when the guitar was still considered a novelty instrument, the recording illustrated Johnson's growing contributions in the sophisticated development of jazz guitar.
Two months later, in December 1927, Johnson appeared as a guest artist with Louis Armstrong's Hot Five. Paired with banjoist Johnny St. Cyr, Johnson cut four sides with the band including Lil Hardin's "Hotter Than That" and Kid Ory's "Savoy Blues."
Johnson's growing musical reputation also led to a guest recording appearance with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in October 1928. Playing steel-bodied guitar on one of Ellington's "jungle-style" numbers, "The Mooche," he was featured in a duet with popular cabaret singer Baby Cox.
In October of the same month, he made another guest studio appearance with the seven-member-nucleus of the Mckinney Cotton Pickers. Under the direction of arranger and multi-instrumentalist Don Redman, the band recorded under the pseudonym the Chocolate Dandies, cutting four numbers including "Stardust" and Redman's composition "Puducah." On the latter number Johnson takes two twelve bar solos--his fluid single lines and two-string figures briskly rising above the background horn accompaniment. Not long afterward, Johnson joined pianist Clarence Williams in backing Texas-born blues singer Victoria Spivey on a number of bawdy and sexually suggestive numbers like "Furniture Man Blues."
In 1929 Johnson once again appeared as a guest recording artist with Louis Armstrong in an expanded orchestral setting. On Armstrong's rendition Spencer Williams' "Mahogany Hall Stomp," a composition dedicated to one of New Orleans' most notorious nightspots.
Also in 1929 Johnson teamed-up with Philadelphia-born guitarist Eddie Lang to record some of the most celebrated musical duets of the twenties. Breaking the racial barriers of the period, the two guitarists-- performing as a duo and with Lang's Gin Bottle Four--formed a studio collaboration which brought forth mutual respect between the artistsThe two guitarists turned out dozens of titles including "Hot Fingers," "Two Tone Stomp," and "Handful of Riffs." On "Bullfog Moan" Johnson's twelve string guitar produced haunting bends and created a dynamic interplay with Langs' open-string figures and well-executed bass lines. It is unclear whether it was Johnson or Lang who first used a flat-pick to intensify his single-string guitar solos. It is clear, however, that Johnson introduced the flat-picking technique to other urban guitarists, and Lang did the same for jazz. Johnson's style reached both the Delta bluesmen and urban players who would adapt and develop his one string-solos into modern electric blues style.
After touring with Bessie Smith and her "Midnight Steppers" in 1929, he moved to Chicago. Recording For Okeh's New York studio, he turned out sides accompanied by musicians such as stride pianist James P. Johnson. In 1932 Johnson left the Okeh label and settled in Cleveland, playing intermittently with the band of vocalist and singer Putney Dandridge. During his seven year stay in Cleveland, he often played on radio programs broadcasted over WJAY and WHM.
In 1937 Johnson made recordings with pianist Roosevelt Sykes and performed with Warren "Baby" Dodds at the Three Deuces in Chicago. After the Three Deuces job, Johnson formed his own trio--two guitars and a bass--and booked shows at the Plantation, The Gate, and the Boulevard Lounge. In 1937 and 1938 he recorded for Decca and, in 1939, joined the talented line-up of Lester Melrose' Blue Bird label. For the next five years, Johnson emerged as one of Blue Bird's best selling artists, recording thirty-four sides that included the hits "He's a Jelly Roll Baker" and "In Love Again." By the mid-1940s he took up electric guitar, transforming his earlier sound.
In the late 1940s Johnson took up residence in Cincinnati and after joining Syd Nathan's Cincinnati-based King label, scored his biggest hit with "To-morrow Night" in 1948. A ballad, "Tomorrow Night," with its triplet piano accompaniment lush background singers, bore little resemblance to the majority of Johnson's blues and jazz material. Though a hit record kept his name in the limelight, over the next few years Johnson still had to take occasional work outside music.
In 1952 Johnson embarked on a eleven-month-tour of England. Back in America he stayed briefly in Cincinnati before moving to Philadelphia. By the time Samuel Charters' The Country Blues was published in 1959, Johnson had fallen into obscurity, and was believed to be living in Cincinnati. That same year, Danish-born jazz critic and disc jockey Chris Albertson rediscovered Johnson in Philadelphia. During his radio show, Albertson made an inquiry concerning the whereabouts of the legendary guitarist. Shortly afterward, he received a call from a man who informed him that he worked as a janitor with Johnson at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia. Albertson then recorded Johnson in an informal session at his apartment and sent the demo to Bob Weinstock of the Prestige label. Backed by a quartet, including saxophone, Johnson cut the Prestige LP "Blues by Lonnie Johnson." Evoking a sense of humor about the vagaries of his career, Johnson commented, in the album's liner notes, "I've been dead four of five times. But I always come back." The day following the session he went back to his janitorial job at the Ben Franklin.
In 1960 and 1961, Johnson performed at the Town Hall concerts in New York City, and in 1963 traveled to Europe with the American Folk Blues Festival, an all-star tour which included Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Joe Williams, and former musical associate Victoria Spivey (with whom Johnson had been reunited on a job in New York City two years previous). In Europe he recorded with pianist Otis Spann in Denmark and with the Fontana label in Bremen, Germany.
By 1965 Johnson took up residence in Toronto, Canada, and within the next year opened his own nightclub, The Home of the Blues Club. Throughout the decade he recorded and played local clubs in Canada as well as embarking on several regional tours. While he was window shopping on a Toronto street in 1969, a car jumped the curb and hit Johnson. This accident, followed by several strokes, forced him to limit his musical activities. Not long after his last live appearance with bluesman Buddy Guy at Toronto's Massey Hall, he died of a stroke on June 16, 1970 at the age of eighty-one.
An inspirational figure to both blues and jazzmen, Johnson left an indelible mark on modern American music. In the span of forty years, he made nearly five hundred recordings. His impact on the blues was reflected in the sentiments of B.B. King who stated, in Blues Guitar: "I was able to go and see one of my idols, Lonnie Johnson, and I was able to shake his hand and thank him. Because he was one of the people that made me want to play." Perhaps Johnson's finest tribute, however, came from Duke Ellington who stated his memoir, Music Is My Mistress, "[Johnson] must have must have been a good man, because he spoke only good about other people, and I never heard anyone speak anything but good of him. God bless Lonnie Johnson."

KÓPAL MÁLNINGSVANSMERKT
Valdimar Bergstað, Chairman of Málning hf
The headquarters of Málning hf, in Kópavogur. Málning hf was founded on January 16th, 1953. A great many of the founding members were descendants of Pétur Guðmundsson in Málarinn.
At first, the business was run in an old school building, on Kárnesbraut 32 in Kópavogur. As the years went by, the school building was adapted to its new function and extended. In 1981, the sales department and the warehouse were moved to Lyngháls 2. The production and other daily activities remained in the old building.
On July 13th, 1987, the company suffered a hard blow, when the building on Kársnesbraut was completely destroyed by fire. The damage was very upsetting and the financial loss was considerable. Raw material and other goods worth tens of millions of Krónur were destroyed, and the building, 2,000 square meters in size, was in ruins. Through a quick rescue effort, the main production machines were saved and kept fully operational. With a combined effort from the staff and the owner, production was resumed only a few days after the fire, first in Lyngháls 2, and then, from October 1987, in Funhöfði 9.
On October 19th, 1998, the warehouse and the sales department were moved to an elegant three story building on Dalvegur 18 in Kópavogur. A little later, on January 1st, 1999, the remaining departments were moved into the same building.
Finally, all divisions of the company were then operating under the same roof. The new building was designed by the architect Ingimundur Sveinsson. Production and marketing of Spred Satin, the first water-based paint commercially sold in Iceland, was started during the early years of the company. This was an improvement for Icelandic consumers, who at the time had nothing other than polluting oil-based paint.
Baldvin Valdimarsson, General Manager
The production of Spred Satin was ended in 1973. It was substituted with the diverse range Kópalvörur, still today comprising a large part of the product selection. Málning hf has always focused on product development and research. The company has collaborated with many foreign manufacturers, such as Jotun in Norway, Loba in Germany, Becker Acroma in Norway, among others. Málning hf plays an active role in various collective research projects, both at home and abroad. Domestic product development, customized for Icelandic conditions, is still the heart of the business. A few product examples are the exterior paint Steinvara 2000, the wood protection series Kjörvara, the roof coating Þol and Akrýl Þol, which can be diluted with water, and the variation Epox1, a water-based epoxy paint. Further information on these and other products can be obtained elsewhere on the webpage.
Throughout the years, Málning hf has sold paint to other countries, such as England, The Faroe Islands, and Latvia. Málning hf works in collaboration with Kveik, a Faroese company with a production license from Málning hf.
At the start of 2010, Málning hf made a big investment in Slippfélagið in Reykjavík. Consequently, Málning hf is now by far the biggest company in the Icelandic paint industry. Málning hf has always made an effort to hire skilled and well-educated professionals. The staff now comprises forty people.
Chairman of Málning hf is Valdimar Bergstað and the general manager is Baldvin Valdimarsson.
Málning hf develops its products in its own research lab. The products are tested for Icelandic conditions. Málning hf offers all the colors our customers could wish for.
Málning hf is the single paint production company in Iceland, and uses only its own recipes.

New UK Sanctions and Export Controls Rules – Top 10 Takeaways
Elizabeth Annis, Les Carnegie, Charles Claypoole, Andrew Galdes, Thomas Lane, William McGlone, Robert Price, Eric Volkman
The new rules are set to go in effect when the UK leaves the European Union on 31 December at 11 p.m. GMT.
The United Kingdom's transition period for withdrawing from the European Union is scheduled to end on 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. GMT. Subject to certain exceptions (particularly regarding Northern Ireland), the UK will at that point no longer automatically implement EU laws — with important ramifications for the UK's sanctions and export controls regimes.
This Client Alert sets out top 10 takeaways for how the end of the transition period will affect sanctions and export controls in the UK.
Please see full Alert below for more information.

All Rights Reserved. Latham & Watkins Export Controls, Economic Sanctions & Customs Practice 23 December 2020 | Number 2841 New UK Sanctions and Export Controls Rules – Top 10 Takeaways The new rules are set to go in effect when the UK leaves the European Union on 31 December at 11 p.m. GMT. The United Kingdom's transition period for withdrawing from the European Union is scheduled to end on 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. GMT. Subject to certain exceptions (particularly regarding Northern Ireland), the UK will at that point no longer automatically implement EU laws — with important ramifications for the UK's sanctions and export controls regimes. This Client Alert sets out top 10 takeaways for how the end of the transition period will affect sanctions and export controls in the UK. 1. The UK will implement a new, independent set of sanctions regimes The UK will implement a new set of autonomous sanctions regimes, separate from the EU regimes that the UK has previously applied. The UK will implement the new sanctions regimes via regulations enacted pursuant to the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA). Many of these regulations are already available online. The UK government's web pages on sanctions and export controls will be updated when the regulations take effect at 11 p.m. GMT on 31 December 2020. 2. UK and EU sanctions regulations may diverge over time Currently, the UK's new sanctions regulations broadly replicate the existing EU legislation. However, the UK and EU's approaches may diverge over time. Earlier in 2020, the UK introduced its own set of sanctions targeting global human rights offenders pursuant to SAMLA. This predated the EU's version of a human rights-focused sanctions regime by several months. 3. The UK and EU regulations will contain textual differences The new UK sanctions regulations currently aim to produce the same policy effects as the original EU regimes; however, the transition into UK law has produced several changes. Latham & Watkins 23 December 2020 | Number 2841 | Page 2 For instance, several EU regimes concerning sanctions relating to Russia have been amalgamated into one set of UK sanctions: the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the UK Russia Regulations). Similarly, the UK's new sanctions regulations reflect differences in drafting style from EU regulations. For instance, whereas EU regulations might include wording making it an offence to "sell, supply, transfer or export, directly or indirectly" certain restricted goods to particular persons or places, the UK drafting may instead set out a series of separate clauses prohibiting each individual action. Some changes have additional significance. For instance, the UK Russia Regulations appear to go beyond the original EU legislation in requiring a licence for the provision of financial services relating to certain energy-related goods not only "for use in Russia" but also "to a person connected with Russia" (as defined in the UK Russia Regulations). 4. The shift in focus from EU to UK-related restrictions may have a number of consequences In addition to the textual differences noted above, the new UK sanctions regulations will reflect the fact that they affect persons under the jurisdiction of the UK, not the EU. For instance:  The relevant EU regulation on Russia prohibiting dealing with certain transferable securities or money market instruments for particular Russian companies also captures such dealings with those companies' 50% or more-owned subsidiaries that are established "outside" the EU. That prohibition excludes those Russian companies' EU subsidiaries unless they are acting on behalf or at the direction of a designated Russian company or non-EU subsidiary.  By contrast, the UK Russia Regulations only capture such dealings if those Russian companies' subsidiaries are incorporated "under the law of a non-UK country". Accordingly, while the UK's prohibition will not apply to those Russian companies' UK subsidiaries (unless acting on behalf or at the direction of a designated Russian company or non-UK subsidiary), it will apply to their EU subsidiaries. As the UK government's guidance notes: "This differs from the EU sanctions regime".  Similarly, whereas the EU regulations featured an exemption for loans that make funds available for non-prohibited trade between the EU and any third State, the equivalent exemption in the UK Russia Regulations requires the underlying trade to have a UK nexus. The UK has also largely retained the substance of the EU's so-called "Blocking Regulation", which prohibits compliance with certain US sanctions that the UK (like the EU) considers "extraterritorial" and to unduly affect "non-U.S. persons in any jurisdiction". However, it should be noted that:  The EU Blocking Regulation contains an exception permitting requests for compliance with certain listed US sanctions relating to Iran and Cuba by EU persons if "non-compliance would seriously damage their interests or those of the [EU]". The UK government guidance on the "retained Blocking Regulation" indicates that the UK exception will permit requests for compliance by UK persons "if not doing so would cause serious damage to their interests or the interests of the UK".  After 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. GMT, it will no longer be the European Commission that manages and enforces the Blocking Regulation for the purposes of the UK sanctions but rather the UK's Secretary of State for International Trade. Latham & Watkins 23 December 2020 | Number 2841 | Page 3 5. The UK will issue "General Licences" for the first time The UK government notes that the power to issue General Licences is being introduced under many of the UK's new autonomous sanctions regimes. As in the US, these General Licences will allow multiple parties to undertake specified activities that would otherwise be prohibited by sanctions regulations without the need for a specific licence. Users of a General Licence will be required to notify the UK's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) and keep records of any activity taken pursuant to that licence. 6. The UK's sanctions lists will be updated on 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. OFSI is part of Her Majesty's Treasury. Through OFSI, HM Treasury presently publishes a "consolidated list" of asset all asset freeze targets (the Consolidated List) under the EU regulations and any current UK sanctions that go beyond the EU measures. On 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. GMT, OFSI will update this list so that it only includes financial sanctions targets under the SAMLA-derived regulations or other relevant UK legislation (e.g., the UK's Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001). The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) plans to publish a separate "UK Sanctions List" that will (after 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m. GMT) contain all individuals, entities, and ships specified or designated under SAMLA or its derivative regulations — including not only those designated under financial sanctions, but also under immigration, trade, and transport sanctions. 7. A "Bridging Document" should help facilitate sanctions screening The UK government has announced that it will publish a "Bridging Document" to facilitate sanctions screening as a result of the changes to the Consolidated List. The Bridging Document will be identical to the Consolidated List as published on 31 December 2020 at 10:59 p.m., with only certain administrative fields updated to reflect the changes made at 11 p.m. While the UK government cautions that the Bridging Document is not a substitute for the Consolidated List, it is provided to allow separate screenings against certain administrative fields, so as to minimize the number of flags on a re-screen of the Consolidated List. 8. The UK will provide new rules relating to "ownership and control" The Council of the EU had previously issued non-binding guidance on how to determine whether an entity was owned or controlled by a target of asset-freezing sanctions for the purposes of EU sanctions compliance. The UK's new sanctions regulations, on the other hand, will contain new statutory definitions and guidance. The new UK sanctions that have been published to date typically contain common language to the effect that an entity will be deemed "owned or controlled directly or indirectly" by another person in one of the following circumstances:  The person holds (directly or indirectly) more than 50% of the shares or voting rights in the entity. Latham & Watkins 23 December 2020 | Number 2841 | Page 4  The person has the right (directly or indirectly) to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors of the entity.  It is reasonable to expect that the person would be able to ensure the affairs of the entity are conducted in accordance with the person's wishes. New UK sanctions regulations containing such language also typically contain a schedule containing further guidance in the form of "rules for interpretation" of the regulations on attribution. Care should accordingly be taken to use appropriate diligence to avoid dealing with an entity that the UK authorities would consider "owned or controlled" by a target of asset-freezing sanctions. 9. Export controls will be impacted by the UK's legal transition to "third country" status As of 31 December 2020 at 11 p.m., EU law will no longer have automatic effect in the UK. The UK will accordingly be treated as a "third country" from the perspective of EU law. (As this Alert will explain below, this is subject to certain exceptions — particularly in respect of Northern Ireland, which will continue to be subject to certain EU laws automatically.) In a similar manner to how the new UK sanctions regulations will, at least initially, broadly replicate the existing EU sanctions regime, the main export control regulations such as the EU Dual-Use Regulation (notably the version in force as of 15 December 2020), will essentially be retained and transposed into UK law. Nevertheless, the UK's transition to "third country" status will impact licensing requirements. Persons exporting between the UK, the EU, and other countries may need to consider whether their current licences will continue to have legal effect, and whether they need to seek new licences either from the UK or a competent EU Member State. For operators using the present legislation and licences produced pursuant to the EU's Dual-Use Regulation, the UK government advises as follows:  From the UK to the EU (and the Channel Islands): – Operators will require an export licence issued by the UK if they are exporting dual-use items from the UK to the EU (or the Channel Islands). (This provision is subject to an exception regarding Northern Ireland, as elaborated upon later in this Alert.) – The UK's Export Control Joint Unit has published an "Open General Export Licence" (OGEL) for exports of dual-use items to EU countries (and the Channel Islands). This OGEL removes the need to apply for individual licences and can be used from 1 January 2021. Operators must nonetheless register through the UK's online export licensing system, SPIRE.  From the EU to the UK: – Operators will need an export licence issued by the competent EU Member State for exporting dual-use items from the EU to the UK. Latham & Watkins 23 December 2020 | Number 2841 | Page 5 – The EU's Dual-Use Regulation provides for certain "Union General Export Authorisations" for the export of certain dual-use items to certain third countries under certain conditions. The category of "EU001" provides a Union general export authorisation for certain low-risk transactions, such as exports to Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the US. Following the European Commission's proposal, the EU is anticipated to add the UK as a permitted destination under EU001 in order to mitigate the administrative burden and risks of disruption.  From the UK to a non-EU country: – Licences that operators already have to export dual-use items to a non-EU country issued by the UK will remain valid for export from the UK. – An export licence issued by an EU Member State will, however, no longer be valid for export from the UK.  From the EU to a non-EU country – An export licence issued in the UK will no longer be valid to export dual-use items from an EU Member State. – Operators who hold an export licence previously issued by the UK, but who intend to export a dual-use item from an EU Member State to a non-EU country will need an export licence issued by an EU Member State. 10. The Northern Ireland Protocol will produce certain export control exceptions As a result of the Northern Ireland Protocol, certain EU laws, including regulations and directives relating to strategic export controls (such as dual-use goods), will continue to apply in Northern Ireland. The UK government has accordingly requested affected operators to indicate, via SPIRE, whether the export has a nexus relating to Northern Ireland. As explained in recent UK government guidance, the regime applicable to the export of dual-use goods to and from Northern Ireland is anomalous: the UK government has clarified that there will be no additional licence requirements for the export of dual-use goods from Northern Ireland to the EU, or to move dual-use goods between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. The situation surrounding Northern Ireland may remain dynamic, and operators with a connection to Northern Ireland should continue to monitor developments so as to remain alert to potential requirements that may arise.

Q: Trying to get the previous and next item of an array using index What I'm trying to do is to create a new array which from an input array and iterate through it. Each item of the new array is the result of the multiplication of the previous and next item of the iteration.
For example:
Array input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Array_final: [2, 3, 8, 15, 24, 30]
   first item: 2*1 (because there's no previous item)
   second item: 3*1
   third item: 4*2
   forth item: 5*3
   fifth item: 6*4
   sixth item: 6*5 (we use the current item because we don't have a next one)

This is my code and I don't understand why I keep getting array_final = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
class Arrays
      def self.multply(array)
        array_final = []
        last_index = array.length-1

        array.each_with_index do |num, i|
          if i == 0
            array_final.push (num[i+1])
          elsif i == last_index
            array_final.push (num*num[i-1])
          else
            array_final.push(num[i+1]*num[i-1])
          end
        end
        return array_final
      end
    end

A: You're using num as an array, when its an element.
I think you meant:
array.each_with_index do |num, i|
  if i == 0
    array_final.push (array[i+1])
  elsif i == last_index
    array_final.push (num*array[i-1])
  else
    array_final.push(array[i+1]*array[i-1])
  end
end

A: You can use each_cons to get sequential items:
final = [input[0] * input[1]]

input.each_cons(3) do |precedent, _current, subsequent|
  final << precedent * subsequent
end

final << input[-1] * input[-2]

Optimism over trade sends US stocks sharply higher
By DAMIAN J. TROISE and ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writers
Potentially encouraging news on trade and interest rates put Wall Street in a buying mood Tuesday, driving the market to solid gains and sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average 350 points higher.
Technology stocks powered much of the rally as investors welcomed news that the leaders of the U.S. and China will meet face-to-face next week to discuss their long-running trade dispute. Traders have been hoping for any positive sign in the trade war between the world's largest economies.
It's not the first time the market has rallied on seemingly encouraging developments on trade. Previous positive signs did not pan out, triggering market turbulence.
"You sort of have to ignore it a little bit," said Tobias Carlisle, founder and portfolio manager at Acquirers Funds. "It's probably going to drag out to the end of the year, so what we're trying to do is buy something undervalued, and it's great when there's a day like today and it works."
Markets also got a boost after the head of the European Central Bank said it was ready to cut interest rates and provide additional economic stimulus if necessary. The remarks put the spotlight on the Federal Reserve, which is set to announce its own decision on interest rates Wednesday.
The S&P 500 index climbed 28.08 points, or 1% to 2,917.75. The Dow gained 353.01 points, or 1.4%, to 26,465.54. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted with technology companies, jumped 108.86 points, or 1.4%, to 7,953.88.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies added 17.48 points, or 1.1%, to 1,550.23.
It was the second straight gain for the market, extending a strong rebound for stocks in June after a steep sell-off last month.
The benchmark S&P 500 is now less than 1% below its all-time high set on April 30. The Dow is 1.4% below its record high set October 3. The Nasdaq is about 2.5% below its record close set on May 3.
The wave of buying got its start overseas early Tuesday after the remarks from the head of the ECB. Major indexes in Europe closed sharply higher.
President Donald Trump stirred fresh optimism among investors when he said he will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an international summit in Japan. U.S. businesses have implored Trump to stop escalating the trade war and refrain from expanding his tariffs to $300 billion on goods from China.
A prospective meeting between the U.S. and China's leaders is welcome news for a market that has been searching for some direction. "If you think back a week ago, there was a fear they wouldn't even talk at all," said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade.
Investors were also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve's next interest rate policy announcement Wednesday, with many betting the central bank is headed for its first interest rate cut in over a decade.
Two weeks ago, Fed Chair Jerome Powell set off a rally on Wall Street after he signaled that the central bank is willing to cut interest rates to help stabilize the economy if the trade war between Washington and Beijing starts to crimp growth. Any continued escalations could put the brakes on what is poised to be the longest economic expansion in U.S. history.
Most analysts say they think economic growth has slowed sharply in the April-June quarter to around a 1.5% percent annual rate, only half the pace of the past year.
Investors collectively envision a Fed rate cut by July and possibly further cuts after that. Some are even betting on a rate cut this week. Many economists, though, think the Fed will wait until September at the earliest to announce its first drop in its benchmark short-term interest rate since 2008 and might not cut again in 2019. A few Fed watchers foresee no rate cut at all this year.
"I don't know that the Fed is going to deliver what investors want because the market looks fairly frothy at the moment," Carlisle said.
Technology sector stocks powered much of the rally Tuesday. Apple gained 2.4% and chipmakers Intel and Nvidia rose 2.7% and 5.4%, respectively. Google's parent company, Alphabet added 1%.
Banks rose. JPMorgan Chase picked up 1.4% and Bank of America rose 2.5%.
Industrial and consumer-related stocks also made big gains. General Electric climbed 3.7%, Caterpillar rose 2.4%, and Nike added 2.7%.
Utilities and consumer products companies ended lower, a sign that investors were stepping back from the safe-play sectors and taking on more risk.
SM Energy climbed 6.6% after the oil and natural gas company raised production forecasts for the second quarter and full year.
U.S. government bond prices rose, sending yields lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.06%, below the 2.08% it traded at late Monday. That's still well below the 2.21% yield on the three-month Treasury bill.
Benchmark crude oil rose 3.8% to settle at $53.90 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 2% to close at $62.14 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline rose 1.8% to $1.72 per gallon. Heating oil climbed 1.6% to $1.83 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2.4% to $2.33 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Gold edged down 0.6% to $1,350.70 per ounce, silver rose 1.1% to $14.99 per ounce and copper rose 2.1% to $2.70 per pound.
The dollar fell to 108.44 Japanese yen from 108.57 yen on Friday. The euro weakened to $1.1196 from $1.1216.

for The Dasht-e-Leili Massacre of Taliban prisoners of war, US FOIA, part I, 2002-2008
{{leak |country=United States |summary=These files include formally highly classified US government communications about the Dasht-e-Leili massacre in Afghanistan. The massacre killed thousands of Taliban prisoners of war who were locked in shipping containers. The files were released earlier on two websites maintained by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) but are of significant historical importance. PHR has asked that WikiLeaks house the documents to assure the widest journalistic and public access to the documents. WikiLeaks reaches an audience different than PHR's and having the documents on WikiLeaks' servers helps to ensure that the documents' availability does not depend solely on PHR's web infrastructure. On July 10 there was a front page New York Times story detailing new allegations that the Bush Administration impeded at least three federal investigations into the Dasht-e-Leili massacre. President Obama has responded to the news on a nationally aired CNN interview with Anderson Cooper. There continue to be new developments in the story to which the FOIA documents continue to add relevant context and information. In November 2001, as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners are believed to have been killed in container trucks by US-allied Afghan troops and buried in a mass grave in Dasht-e-Leili, Afghanistan. These Afghan troops were operating jointly with American forces, who were allegedly present at the scene of the crime. PHR investigators discovered the mass grave in 2002. Under the auspices of the UN, PHR's International Forensic Program conducted an initial examination of part of the site, exhumed fifteen remains, and conducted autopsies on three individual remains, and found that the likely cause of death was consistent with suffocation. Since 2002, PHR has been calling for the site to be secured, protection of the witnesses and a full investigation of the alleged massacre. Despite these appeals, Afghan eyewitnesses were tortured, murdered and disappeared, and sections of the mass grave site have been dug up and removed. On June 21, 2006, PHR made an extensive Freedom of Information Act request for all information relating to occurrences on and around November 2001 in the region of Dasht-e-Leili. PHR submitted the FOIA request simultaneously with the Department of Defense (including the Department of the Air Force, the Department of the Navy, and US Central Command), the Department of State (including the War Crimes Office) and the Central Intelligence Agency. After the failure of the US government to reply, PHR filed suit on February 19, 2008. The following documents are from the Department of Defense, the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency. in 2008, Stefan Schmitt, Director of PHR's International Forensic Program, was in Afghanistan under contract with United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to conduct forensic assessments on several different grave sites in the country. In an effort to re-visit sites which had been originally documented in 2002, Schmitt visited Dasht-e-Leili. In contrast to 2002, Schmitt, came upon two sizeable pits which had disturbed the area originally documented in 2002--indicative of apparent evidence tampering. Schmitt raised concerns about the state of the alleged massacre site in meetings with UN and Afghan officials in Kabul. Part II of these files can be found at [[The Dasht-e-Leili Massacre of Taliban prisoners of war, US FOIA, part II, 2002-2008]]. The likely audience for these documents is journalists, bloggers and human rights advocates. Journalists may call PHR's Chief Communication Officer, Jonathan Hutson for comment at +1-857-919-5130. See http://AfghanMassGrave.org and http://physiciansforhumanrights.org for additional information. |file_digest=SHA256 2ed6ea30f892c04d9c5ddf0b8854eec8585a42364b937b9ea818b2b541062c1a |file_info=PDF document, version 1.3 |file_name=dasht-e-leili-afghanistan-massacre-foia-2002-2008.pdf |file_size=7667579 |lang=en |series=Dasht-e-Leili massacre |organization= |organization_type=MIL |release_date=2009-7-22 |title=Dasht-e-Leili Afghanistan Massacre documents, US FOIA, part I, 2002-2008 |note=The documents are revealing however also contain significant redactions.

Is Amanda Bynes Capable Of Caring For Herself?
Last night, Amanda Bynes was arrested at her apartment in New York City for allegedly throwing a bong out the window while police were inside her apartment. This morning, she appeared in court looking a bit disheveled and sporting one pink acrylic nail on her middle finger. A few hours ago, she denied using drugs via Twitter and commented that she needs to get another nose job after seeing her mugshot.
Altogether, the last twenty-four hours or so have been pretty outlandish, but given Bynes' last year or so, many things the day's events point to more than just a crazy sequence of events. From having her license suspended to saying bizarre things on Twitter to quitting acting, Bynes has marched to the beat of her own drummer, and that's gotten many wondering as to whether she might be suffering from a mental illness.
According to Radar Online, Bynes' parents have met with several lawyers over the past month or so to see if they can place their daughter under a conservatorship, much like the one Britney Spears has been under. The theory is that with more supervision, she may be able to start working again and behave a little more conventionally. Not everyone is on board with that idea, however. There are some who think Bynes is more of a weirdo than an actual mental case. After all, she's never hurt anyone else, and she's never been a serious danger to herself.
