The Philippines' anti-terror bill is poised to cause more terror
The government needs to accept that there are no shortcuts to peace and retract the bill.

As the world is plagued by COVID-19, an impending anti-terrorism bill is creating more fear in the Philippines.
Recently passed by Congress, the bill is set to be signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte. If this happens, the bill will not only suppress the fundamental rights and freedoms of Filipinos, it will also terrorise the same conflict-affected communities it seeks to protect, as it undoes decades of peacebuilding work.
Despite protests against the bill and mounting calls to provide more time for deliberations, Congress has quietly fast-tracked its passage while the rest of the country braced for the impact of COVID-19. The bill will allow for a lengthened period of warrantless detention and expanded surveillance of those law enforcement deems suspicious. It will also remove stiff penalties for wrongful detention.
Most importantly, the bill carries a vague definition of "terrorism" that offers little distinction between organisations that commit acts of terror and revolutionary armed movements, which is important for those doing mediation among warring parties. The bill will provide law enforcers with broad powers to determine what constitutes a "terrorist", shifting the burden of proof to suspected individuals and organisations. This is not only a threat to dissent and democracy, but also to peace.
Threat to peace in Mindanao
For more than half a century, the Philippine government has been trying to quell secessionist and communist armed movements in the country.
Bangsamoro, an autonomous region in the south of the Philippines, is currently in transition after decades of fighting between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. While much remains to be done, significant strides have been taken, with a transitional regional government installed last year and the decommissioning of combatants and arms under way. These gains have been made possible primarily by the peace talks and reconciliation processes.
The ill-advised and shortsighted fear of the ISIL (ISIS) armed group taking root in Mindanao, and the increased framing of the communist armed movements as "terrorist", distract the government from seeing the gains of dialogue and peacebuilding.
The threat of terrorism is real, but it is not the main threat to peace.
In fact, militaristic approaches to counterterrorism have caused the most suffering and displacements, prompted breakdowns in ongoing peace processes, and given birth to more aggressive splinter groups like the Abu Sayyaf, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, and Maute Group.
Insensitivity to the local context and the peace process in prioritising fighting terrorists in Mamasapano in 2015 and Marawi in 2017 delayed the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law and undermined reconciliation across communities in the country. These should not be forgotten, and should not be repeated.
Opening old wounds
Due to a long history of discrimination, the Moro and Muslim minorities in the Philippines are often most affected not only by terrorist attacks but by harassment and warrantless arrests packaged as "counterterrorism".
This profiling of Muslims as violent "terrorists" continues to this day. In January, it was discovered that the Manila Police District was collating information about Muslim youth and students in the National Capital Region for its "preventing violent extremism" initiatives.
Two months before, in November 2019, the police barged into the office of a long-established Mindanao-based peacebuilding organisation, without a warrant, checked the living quarters, and inspected the bags of young Moros from Marawi who were attending a psychosocial support training.
Being a woman while being both Moro and Muslim adds another layer of vulnerability, especially with the heightened visibility that comes with wearing a headscarf. Women widowed by war and children orphaned by conflict are also disproportionately affected by counterterrorism that narrowly sees them as vulnerable to being recruited into terrorism, instead of partners who can inform policies for change.
This bill will undermine efforts at reconciliation, as it will make it easier to target Muslims and open old wounds anew.
Ending or escalating the communist insurgency?
The military generals clearly see the impending anti-terrorism bill as a way to "end" the world's oldest existing communist insurgency. But the bill is more likely to reignite war and bring further insecurity.
Following the termination of the peace negotiations between the government, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People's Army (NPA) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines in 2017, the government has since branded the CPP-NPA as "terrorist" and filed a petition seeking to declare them terrorist organisations under the Human Security Act, the current counterterrorism law. Following delayed progress through the courts, the government has taken a new tack: change the law directly. Thus, the Anti Terror Bill.
The argument about whether the CPP-NPA is a terrorist organisation or a revolutionary movement is fraught with a lot of biases, and a long, violent history between the communist armed movement and the military. What is clear is that the impending declaration of the CPP-NPA as terrorist organisations will impede any future peace talks, and escalate violence and displacement in communities.
As lessons have not been learned, the military should be reminded that the CPP-NPA was at its strongest under the martial law regime of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. It is not activism that pushes communities towards violence. Rather, it is crackdowns on nonviolent civic action that will push communities to lose trust in government and take alternative routes for affecting change.
'Activism is not terrorism'
The government assures the public that crackdowns on activists will not happen under the guise of counterterrorism, but in the same breath the Speaker of the House tells activists to "not allow terrorists to hide within [their] ranks." This statement itself is telling of the government's narrow and misinformed mindset about activism and terror – that those who are radicalised through activism will participate in armed rebellions and, therefore, to prevent "violent extremism" the state should stop "radicalisation" made possible through activism.
Given this bias, and the weak intelligence capacity of law enforcers, the bill will crush progressive organisations and student activists who the state perceives are communist fronts; mediators who are perceived as communist sympathisers; and Indigenous people who are perceived as the main targets of recruitment by the NPA.
These groups are already being "red-tagged" or wrongly targeted for alleged links with the CPP-NPA. Even without the new law and under the martial law in place until last year, young Indigenous people who work on peacebuilding in Western Mindanao were reportedly wrongly included in the military's "terrorist lists," and asked to show themselves to law enforcers and prove they are not linked with the NPA. As the Senate president admitted, there is no need for martial law once this bill becomes law.
The looming anti-terror law will assume rather than fairly test the guilt of civilians, as law enforcers will have free reign to arrest and detain individuals based on mere suspicion. This is both unconstitutional and dangerous.
No shortcuts to peace
If implemented, the new anti-terrorism bill will not only impede our ability as peacebuilders and human rights defenders to bridge divides or raise the alarm when atrocities occur. It will also put our lives and limbs at risk. It will undo years of peacebuilding and further devastate the communities worst affected by terror.
If it is sincere in its "whole-of-nation approach" to peacebuilding, the government must retract the bill, re-open deliberations and listen to a wide range of voices across society, especially the voices of those who have borne the brunt of both terrorist violence and abusive counterterror laws. It must heed the lessons from community leaders and peacebuilders. We need a policy that addresses the underlying roots of terrorism, and that prevents further distrust, injustice and escalations in violence.
Yet as I write this, trust in the government is also under threat. What is left of our democracy is under threat. Peace is under threat.
It is our collective duty to end violence against civilian communities. For this same reason, we cannot take shortcuts to peace.
This rushed and unrestrained anti-terror bill will cause terror – and it will come from the state.

Thousands of Tibetans celebrate in India as the Dalai Lama turns 78
BYLAKUPPE, India – Thousands of Tibetans have waved banners and danced at a Tibetan university in southern India in celebration of the Dalai Lama's 78th birthday.
Speaking after an interfaith meeting Saturday, the Tibetans' spiritual leader called for love and compassion to promote world peace.
Turning to a Muslim priest, the Dalai Lama said the real meaning of jihad, or holy war, was "to combat our negative emotions." He said, "Jihad is not beating or killing (others)."
He said 150,000 Tibetans living abroad represent "6 million Tibetans (in China) who have no freedom or opportunity to express what they feel."
The Dalai Lama has lived in exile in India since 1959. Beijing accuses him of seeking to separate Tibet from China, but he says he wants only wide autonomy under Chinese rule.

Dembele Has to more Serious to Succeed At Barcelona- Suarez
ImageSports
By Femi Famutimi On Nov 20, 2018
Barcelona forward, Luis Suarez, has given some advice to his club team mate, Ousmane Dembele, urging him to be more serious if he wants to make a career at Barcelona.
The two will face each other in a friendly today at the Stade de France
In the pre-game press conference, Suarez said that while Dembele is by no means a failure at Barcelona, he would need more focus to win his doubters over
"It's not that he did not adapt because the relationship with his team-mates is very good," he said. "We see him being happy.

"But as some of my team-mates have said, and Ousmane knows, football is a privilege for every player, and I think he needs to focus more, and be more serious on some points."
He added: "There are many people around him in Barcelona who he can draw inspiration from, people with great professionalism. But he deserves to be there and triumph with Barcelona."
The immensely talented winger joined the Spanish powerhouse in 2017 for a deal worth £97 million ($124m) but has since then struggled with a mixture of injury and form.
He was part of the France squad that went all the way in the World cup earlier this year even though he only played a bit part role in the triumph.

There's always a lot of talk on what kind of foods to eat and what kind of diet to follow so that you get the best of everything, and ensure that your body isn't lacking in any nutrients. But rather than jumping straight diet and food, let's go more into the tiny elements that our meals are comprised of – the Vitamins and minerals. It's the right balance of these elements that keeps us healthy and helps the smooth functioning of the body. Let us look at a particular Vitamin that is essential for the body and the different sources to get this vitamin from.
Vitamin E is a group of 8 fat-soluble vitamins which help prevent oxidative stress to the body, and other vitamins within the body. You need to be careful though, because the right amount of vitamin E can keep you healthy and help prevent heart disease, but excess amounts of the same vitamin can lead to haemorrhaging and bleeding.
Vitamin E foods, like the ones listed below, are considered to be safe and healthy. So you need to revamp the grocery list and make some valuable additions to the list and your daily routine too!
These aren't that commonly heard of, but Sunflower seeds actually make for a great source of Vitamin E. You get them at your local grocery store and also packaged with a few flavors from vendors such as 'Tong Garden', so the availability isn't really the problem, just the awareness is. Try them and get your dose of Vitamin E!
These may be slightly bitter in taste, but we can assure you that they're a powerhouse of essential nutrients that will do your body good. Like most other greens, just a cup full of turnip greens contains vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and folate and other important nutrients.
Vegetable oil offer 4.5-5 mg of vitamin E in one tea spoon. Try cottonseed oil or even sun flower oil to caramelize your fruits and vegetables!
If you love peanuts, you're in luck! Peanuts are a great source of antioxidants, packed with monounsaturated fats, help prevent colon cancer and gallstones, and are great for the heart as well. Did you know that 1/4th cup of peanuts contain 20% of the required vitamin E intake and eating peanuts lowers risk of weight gain? Definitely adding it to the grocer's list aren't you!

Roger Wood Wilkins (29 de janeiro de 1932 - 26 de março de 2017) foi um advogado americano, líder dos direitos civis, professor de história e jornalista que atuou como o 15º Procurador-Geral Adjunto dos Estados Unidos sob o presidente Lyndon B. Johnson de 1966 a 1969.

Membro do partido democrata, Wilkins foi orientado pelo juiz associado da Suprema Corte Thurgood Marshall no início de sua carreira. Ao longo da década de 1960, Wilkins fez campanha pela aprovação da Lei dos Direitos Civis de 1964 e da Lei dos Direitos de Voto de 1965 . Em 1965, o presidente Lyndon B. Johnson nomeou Wilkins para ser o principal solucionador de problemas do governo em questões raciais urbanas, e mais tarde tornou-se procurador-geral assistente no governo Johnson.

O tio de Wilkins, Roy Wilkins, foi o ex-diretor executivo da National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) de 1964 a 1977.

Biografia
Wilkins nasceu em Kansas City, Missouri, em 29 de janeiro de 1932, e cresceu em Michigan . Ele foi educado na Crispus Attucks Elementary School em Kansas City, Missouri, depois na Creston High School em Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wilkins recebeu seu diploma AB em 1953 e diploma JD em 1956, ambos da Universidade de Michigan, onde estagiou na NAACP e foi membro da sociedade de liderança sênior, Michigamua.

Carreira
Wilkins trabalhou como advogado de assistência social em Ohio antes de se tornar procurador-geral assistente na administração do presidente Lyndon B. Johnson aos 33 anos, um dos negros americanos de mais alto escalão a servir no poder executivo até aquele momento.

Roger Wilkins foi empossado como Diretor do Serviço Federal de Relações com a Comunidade na sexta-feira, 4 de fevereiro de 1966, em uma cerimônia na Casa Branca.

Deixando o governo em 1969 no final do governo Johnson, trabalhou brevemente para a Fundação Ford antes de ingressar na equipe editorial do The Washington Post.

Junto com Carl Bernstein, Herbert Block ("Herblock") e Bob Woodward, Wilkins ganhou um Prêmio Pulitzer em 1973 por expor o escândalo de Watergate que acabou forçando a renúncia do presidente Richard Nixon do cargo. Ele deixou o Post em 1974 para trabalhar no The New York Times, seguido cinco anos depois por uma breve estadia no agora extinto Washington Star. Em 1980, tornou-se comentarista de notícias de rádio, trabalhando para a National Public Radio (NPR).

Wilkins foi o Robinson Professor of History and American Culture na George Mason University em Fairfax, Virgínia, até sua aposentadoria em 2007. Durante seu mandato na George Mason, Wilkins foi, sem dúvida, um dos mais proeminentes professores residentes na época. Wilkins também foi o editor do jornal da NAACP, The Crisis, e era sobrinho de Roy Wilkins, ex-diretor executivo da NAACP.

Wilkins residia em Washington, DC, e era casado com Patricia King, professora de direito na Universidade de Georgetown.

Wilkins morreu em 26 de março de 2017, em Kensington, Maryland, por complicações de demência. Ele tinha 85 anos.

U.S. To Drown The World In Oil
Friday, August 23, 2019 /12:49PM / By Nick Cunningham of Oilprice.com / Header Image Credit: Oilprice.com
The U.S. could "drown the world in oil" over the next decade, which, according to Global Witness, would "spell disaster" for the worlds attempts to address climate change.
The U.S. is set to account for 61 percent of all new oil and gas production over the next decade. A recent report from this organization says that to avoid the worst effects of climate change, we can not afford to drill up any oil and gas from new fields anywhere in the world. This, of course, would quickly cause a global deficit, as the world continues to consume around 100 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil.
Global Witness notes that the industry is not slowing down in the United States, notwithstanding recent spending cuts by independent and financially-strapped oil and gas firms. If anything, the consolidation in the Permian and other shale basins, increasingly led by the oil majors, ensures that drilling will continue at a steady pace for years to come.
It is not as if the rest of the world is slowing down either. The global oil industry is set to greenlight $123 billion worth of new offshore oil projects this year, nearly double the $69 billion that moved forward last year, according to Rystad Energy. In fact, while shale drilling has slowed a bit over the past year amid investor skepticism and poor financial returns, offshore projects have begun to pick up pace.
But that trend might turn out to be just a blip. The U.S. is still expected to account of the bulk of new drilling and the vast majority of new production, with much of that coming from shale. Already, the U.S. is the worlds largest producer of both oil and natural gas. And the pace has accelerated in recent years. In 2018, U.S. oil and gas production increased by 16 and 12 percent, respectively. According to the EIA, the U.S. surpassed Russia in terms of gas production in 2011, claiming the top spot, and it surpassed Saudi Arabia in oil production last year.
Going forward, new production from the U.S. will be eight times larger than the next largest source of growth, which is Canada. In fact, the U.S. will add 1.5 times more oil and gas than the rest of the world combined, according to Global Witness.
But because so much drilling in the U.S. is concentrated in a few areas, individual U.S. states on their own tower over the rest of the world. If Texas were a country, it would account for the most new oil and gas production in the world. Between 2020 and 2029, Texas could account for 28 percent of all additional output, Global Witness says.
Canada and Pennsylvania tie for second and third with 7 percent each. Then comes New Mexico at 5 percent of the growth and North Dakota at 4 percent. Oklahoma, Brazil, Colorado, Russia and Ohio are all tied at 3 percent a piece.
In other words, 7 out of the top 10 sources of new oil and gas production globally over the next decade are U.S. states.
If things do not change, by the end of the next decade, new oil and gas fields in the US will produce more than twice what Saudi Arabia produces today, Global Witness said in its report.
This presents a massive challenge. "To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, our analysis shows that global oil and gas production needs to drop by 40% over the next decade. Yet, instead of declining, US oil and gas output is set to rise by 25% over this time, fueled by expansion in new fields," the report warned.

Q: Find max value in a sparse javascript array Is there a proper way to find the max value of a sparse array with undefined values?
Thanks
var testArr=[undefined,undefined,undefined,3,4,5,6,7];
console.log('max value with undefined is ',(Math.max.apply(null,testArr)));

// max value with undefined is NaN

console.log('max with arr.max()',testArr.max());

// Error: testArr.max is not a function

testArr=[null,null,null,3,4,5,6,7];
console.log('max value with null is ',(Math.max.apply(null,testArr)));

// max value with null is 7

I'd prefer not to do forEach if there is a built-in method.

A: testArr.reduce(function(a,b){
  if (isNaN(a) || a === null || a === '') a = -Infinity;
  if (isNaN(b) || b === null || b === '') b = -Infinity;
  return Math.max(a,b)
}, -Infinity);

A: None of your examples are true sparse arrays (they don't have any 'holes'), but you could use Array.prototype.filter (ECMA5) to test the value isFinite. For better accuracy ECMA6 will offer Number.isFinite. Remember there are also limits to the number of arguments that Function.prototype.apply can handle (often 65536 arguments). Of course, isFinite may not be suitable for your application, if you want Infinity and -Infinity, then you should use a different test. An empty string with negative numbers would be an issue in this current exampe.

var testArr = [undefined, , , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];

document.body.textContent = Math.max.apply(null, testArr.filter(function (x) {
    return isFinite(x);
}));

Lee Ann Womack began recording a sequel for MCA Nashville after 2008's Call Me Crazy, but none of its advance singles stuck, leading the singer to shift direction for her seventh studio album. This album didn't appear until 2014, not on Universal but on Sugar Hill/Welk, who picked up The Way I'm Livin', an album that effectively reboots her career. Produced by Frank Liddell -- Womack's husband but more notably the producer behind recent hit records by Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, David Nail, and the Eli Young Band -- The Way I'm Livin' finds the veteran singer intentionally abandoning the chart race for deeply felt intimacy. Womack didn't write any of the songs on The Way I'm Livin' -- a collection of writers ranging from Bruce Robison, Kenny Price, Julie Miller, and Mindy Smith to Hayes Carll and Neil Young bear credits -- but the material is so carefully selected, the album plays personally. Naturally, this is a testament to Womack's skills as a singer -- she's never been more nuanced, sliding into the lyrics, laying back sometimes, leaning into the lyrics elsewhere, all the twists giving the songs an earthiness that grounds the record -- but also to Liddell's lithe production, which never draws attention to itself. The Way I'm Livin' maintains an easy, mellow vibe but it contains plenty of sly, unexpected turns; the title track is dressed in sympathetic strings, "Chances Are" glides on a steamy Southern soul crawl, "Sleeping with the Devil" echoes with the memories of forgotten country classics. There's pleasure within the sounds Womack and Liddell make with their crack supporting musicians and the songs resonate emotionally, their themes of love, regret, and maturity enhancing each other. In that sense, The Way I'm Livin' plays like a classic album: it's a record where the sum is greater than the individual parts. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Read Less

Should your CEO's paycheck depend on population health outcomes?
A small but growing number of hospitals and health systems are tying executive compensation to population health measures, but making such models work requires having a comprehensive view of patient health—and knowing what metrics matter, Shelby Livingston reports for Modern Healthcare.
Value-based payment models are pushing health care providers to embrace population health, which emphasizes long-term health outcomes, social determinants of health, health care disparities, and preventive care, among other factors, Livingston writes.
Power your population health strategy
In keeping with that trend, some hospitals and health systems are now using population health metrics to determine executive compensation. And despite the recent change in the political climate, experts expect the shift to value-based care—and population health-based compensation—will continue, according to David Nash, head of the Jefferson College of Population Health.
Overall, between 20 and 35 percent of large health systems say they link c-suite incentives to measures of population health, Livingston writes.
For instance, Trinity Health's board sets performance targets annually for the 93-hospital health system and weighs each area to set incentive pay for executives' pay. The categories are:
Hospital-acquired infections (HACs) and readmissions (20 percent);
Smoking and pediatric obesity rates (20 percent);
Patient satisfaction (20 percent);
Workforce engagement (20 percent); and
Financial performance (20 percent).
Trinity CEO Richard Gilfillan said the emphasis on clinical and population health-related measures is a core part of the system's overall strategy. "It's important to make sure you align incentives with desired outcomes," he explained.
Trinity is one among only a "small but growing minority of health systems linking executive pay to population health measures," Livingston writes.
How to establish defined population health goals
Henry Ford Health System sets executive compensation with some of the same metrics as Trinity, such as HACs, but also uses other metrics, such as the development of a patient portal.
Meanwhile, Mercy Health executives' compensation is determined in part by:
The system's performance in Medicare's bundled payment programs for joint replacements;
How easy it is for patients to see a primary care physician;
Curbing avoidable readmission rates;
Lowering the opioid misuse rate by screening and referring patients to rehab centers; and
Boosting population health via preventive care, such as breast cancer and diabetes screenings.
Mercy Health also factors in certain revenue targets and investments in programs aimed at benefiting the local community.
However, experts say it's difficult to use such compensation models if a hospital or health system doesn't have good visibility into important clinical metrics across the continuum of care. Nash explained, "You can't do population health without the data—that's clear."
Philanthropy: Your untapped resource for financing population health
For instance, Trinity built an entirely new reporting system to enable population health-based executive compensation. "This is a pretty large enterprise activity," Gilfillan said. "You want to make sure you build an infrastructure that gives accurate results and provides information to folks so they know how well they are doing, and let them make adjustments."
Further, hospitals and health systems need to have a clear understanding of their goals when it comes to population health. Anton Decker, Mercy Health's chief clinical officer and president of Mercy Health Physicians, said, "A lot of organizations struggle because they haven't identified what's important."

Sun opposite Sun transit can be a difficult time because your ego and your will may get in the way of achieving what you want. You may feel like you are banging your head against a brick wall because other people just don't make things easy for you.
They appear to oppose your efforts and challenge who you are, so you have to fight to express your true identity and to reach your goals. These other people, especially men and bosses etc, are getting their back up because they may find you coming on too strong, too egocentric.
This is a time to step back from the situation which is causing difficulty and work out why you are getting these reactions from people. You may have to tone down your self-assertion and think about what you are really trying to achieve, and if this is the best option for you.
This interpretation for Sun opposite Sun transit can also be read for a Solar Eclipse and New Moon opposite Sun.
just half an hour ago i almost got into a physical fight with my father, crazy stuff right there.
I suggest you 'lie low 'till this transit is over.
How long does this transit last that starts in February 2017?

Please click on the button below for complete instructions on how to manage MSE Mortgage Best Buys. Skip to What are the usual fees when applying for a mortgage? Thats what you pay your lender for setting up the mortgage.
A mortgage brokers or straight business?
Below are all the pros and cons of using a mortgage brokers compared to bidding for your mortgage directly. It will help you choose the best way to find a mortgage. The use of a brokers can be more costly in the near future because they levy charges. If you find a dealer yourself, you don't need to worry about brokerage commission.
That means it can be the least expensive choice - but only if you know how to choose the right mortgage for your finance. Your mortgage can be arranged directly with your local savings and loan association. However, obtaining a mortgage from your normal mortgage provider is not always the best one. Only because you settle the remainder of your finance with a particular financial institution is unlikely to give you privileged access when you request a mortgage.
They will also be restricted to their own mortgage product offerings, which will significantly limit the diversity of offerings available to them. As a mortgage realtor you will find a mortgage agent who will help you find and set up a business with your mortgage. Bound Mortgage Agents - Provide mortgage product offered by a unique provider of credit.
Multitied Mortgage Agents - Provide easy entry to selected mortgage brokerage group. Entire Marktbroker - Provide full coverage of all mortgage product on the mortgage markets available to mortgage brokerage firms. Since " the entire mortgage brokerage business " is an EZV-regulated concept, a mortgage agent must explain to you exactly what kind of advisory services he or she can provide.
One of the simplest ways to find out this information is to ask a prospective agent if he is able to provide full coverage of the "overall market" (i.e. can provide you with a mortgage from a UK lender). The information is also described in the "Key Facts" that a mortgage company will provide at your first meet.
What are the brokerage terms? Charges - Some mortgage brokerage firms calculate a service charges for their work. Mortgage transactions provided by banking and home loan and savings institutions are not all available through intermediaries; some transactions are reserved for those arranging their mortgage directly. However, the degree to which banking and bausparkassen provide only retail business will vary; some suppliers will provide some product through intermediaries as well as "exclusive" offers to retail investors, while others will have no business at all with intermediaries.
Again, if you go through a mortgage brokers, you would not be able to take full advantage of these. Direct contact with a creditor also has the additional bonus that there are no brokerage charges. Shopping for mortgages will be limited to the lender's product alone, and it is possible that they might only provide certain kinds of mortgages, which may mean that you miss the best options for your own individual circumstance.
One of the key advantages of having your mortgage arranged by a number of mortgage intermediaries is the broad choice of mortgage product you will have immediate acces to. Most lenders, especially those who provide specialized mortgage product offerings, act solely through intermediaries, enabling them to provide business that would not otherwise be available to you.
By explaining the shops at your disposal, you will be able to help you better identify and consult which ones are best for you. That' s especially useful as your mortgage brokers will be able to suggest which lenders are most likely to accept your request, eliminating the chance of you damaging your loan record by getting several requests denied.
Usually you only need to give your information once to the mortgage agent and he will be able to use it to find a business fit and make an enquiry. One of the major drawbacks of having your mortgage brokered by a real estate agent is that you run the risk to miss out on transactions that are only available to retail clients.
What can I do to make sure I get the best mortgage business? By choosing a brokers, you are choosing one that provides full and complete information on the markets in order to give you the best possible support. Check out our How to Interview your Mortgage-Broker Guide to find out how you can make sure you get the best possible services.
As soon as you have found a serious brokers, do not relax on your praises; it is important to let them work for their moneys. Let our mortgage advisors put you in contact with a serious mortgage advisor in your area. It is also advisable to review some of the transactions directly available only through bank ers and bausparkassen, just in case they represent a better offer.
It' re rewarding to take the trouble to explore all your choices and find the right business for your circumstance, as both the interest rates and the types of mortgage you select will affect the total amount you will be paying for your home. In the end, looking for the best possible mortgage business will help you make big savings over the life of your mortgage.
It is important to be conscious of cross-selling on a last remark, whether you are finally arranged for your mortgage directly or through a real estate agent. Whilst this may be a useful tool, it is important that you take the same precautions that you did with your mortgage to make sure that you get the best deal. What is more, you will be able to get the best mortgage from your mortgage.

Belcekız Beach at Ölüdeniz (ur-LEW-deh-neez, "dead" or calm, sea), is big enough to handle the crowds of swimmers and sunbathers, but not always the number of cars and buses that cram the access road.
Paragliders leap from nearby mountaintops, soaring and floating above the beach and the sea, finally landing right on the beach. Tandem paragliding, where an unexperienced person flies with and under the control of a pilot, is very popular.
The fertile alluvial plain behind the beach is now filled with small hotels, pensions and restaurants, and any further expansion has been relegated to the nearby hilltop towns of Ovacık and Hisarönü.
Fun in the sun at Ölüdeniz.
The beach takes its eerie name from the secluded lagoon at the beach's western end by the 3-star 94-room Hotel Meri. Protected by hills and entered by a narrow channel, the lagoon is calm during even the worst storms.
The Lycian Way, a 500-km (311-mile) rustic footpath, starts in Fethiye and wanders through the hills, descending to Ölüdeniz before ascending again above Kıdrak and Faralya, passing the head of Butterfly Valley before wandering southeastward toward Patara and, ultimately, Antalya.
To get away from it all, consider the Mandarin Boutique Hotel in Faralya, past Ölüdeniz along the coast.
If you plan only a short stay at Ölüdeniz beach before moving on, you might want to stay in Fethiye, where prices tend to be lower, and take one of the frequent minibuses to Ölüdeniz for the day. All intercity buses operate out of Fethiye's otogar (bus terminal).
For distances from Ölüdeniz to other places, see the distances on the Fethiye page, and add 8.5 km (5.3 miles).
Belcekız Beach, Ölüdeniz. Look closely just left of top-center to see a paraglider in the sky.

Ledger Legends: J.M Barrie, Beatrix Potter and Lewis Carroll
Spanning almost three centuries – from the 1700s to the 1960s – the handwritten ledgers in the Barclays archives contain a treasure trove of information about significant historic figures. In the first in a new series, we look at what the ledgers reveal about the literary lifestyles of children's authors Beatrix Potter, Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie – who published a story about how a holey waistcoat led him to open his first bank account.
J.M. Barrie (1860-1937), the Scottish playwright and author of Peter Pan, opened an account at Pall Mall East, London – a Barclay & Co's bank – in 1931. While no formal records survive, Barclays archivists have unearthed an article written by Barrie in Spread Eagle (a staff magazine) about how he came to be a customer.
In the piece, 'How I joined Barclays bank', Barrie describes how a hole in his waistcoat pocket caused his sovereigns – which he received for selling small crossed cheques – to run around him "like mice in a wall". It was this, and his friend's instruction to stop acting in such a "harum scarum way", that prompted Barrie to finally concede that a bank account was needed, despite his misgivings.
The author offers an amusing description of encountering the bankers in the branch, who were "of medium height, slightly but firmly built, forty or forty-one years of age, and stand in an easy attitude, with nothing about them to suggest their vocation save that they keep their hands in their trouser-pockets".
His description of cheque books as wobbling in his hands like "a trout" combine with his utmost surprise at just how useful a bank account can be. Barrie, converted, ends his story by affirming that: "No literary hand should be without one."
Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter
Published in 1901, Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit, continues to be one of the world's best-loved children's stories, bringing the author fame, fortune and literary distinction as her talking animals, charming plots and quaint pastoral scenes enchanted the masses. Potter (1866-1943) entrusted the original drawings for her beloved – and, later, extremely lucrative – 'Peter Rabbit' books in safe custody at Martins Bank, where Beatrix Potter was a customer prior to its merger with Barclays in 1969.
A special feature about the bank's Ambleside, Lake District branch in the Martins Bank Magazine in 1946 highlights that staff where the precious drawings were kept were offered "the rare treat of being able to look at these pictures which have brought so much pleasure to children and grown-ups everywhere".

The branch was also close to Hill Top farm, which – along with 15 other Lake District farms entrusted to the National Trust on her death – Beatrix Potter famously bought with the royalties from The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The farm provided Potter with the inspiration for much of her work and was also a popular spot for the bank's staff to visit with their children, who, the feature states, would never fail to experience "the thrill of seeing the Beatrix Potter settings first hand".
The probate register from the branch also survives, and lists Potter's death in 1943 at her Lake District home, Castle Cottage. The author, who died from complications from pneumonia, is listed under her married name, HB Heelis.
Author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) – better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll – once banked with Parsons Thomson and Co (Oxford Old Bank) before its amalgamation with Barclays in 1900.
The leather-bound account ledgers shed light on Carroll's life and his personal interests. Alongside regular deposits and payments from Carroll's publisher Macmillan – which first published the world-famous Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 – can be seen Carroll's frequent purchases of photographic equipment. Having only been invented in 1839, photography was a relatively new phenomenon. Carroll was known to have been a budding amateur photographer and his most famous work was of Alice Liddell, the daughter of a family friend and the purported inspiration for his namesake character.
The accounts also show that Carroll financially supported his siblings and their children throughout his life, and supplemented his income with investments in railway shares. The first modern railroad had appeared between Liverpool and Manchester in 1830, capturing the public imagination and leading to a speculative boom and bust in railway stocks between 1843 and 1845 – a period known as 'Railway Mania'. Carroll would later reference this in his nonsense poem, The Hunting of the Snark, written between 1874 and 1876: "You may threaten its life with a railway-share".

Abstract : This article aims at understanding the interplay between pension schemes and tax instruments. The model features extensive labor supply in a stationary environment with overlapping generations and perfect financial markets. Compared with the reference case of a pure taxation economy, we find that taxes become more redistributive when the pension instrument is available, while pensions provide incentives to work.

TRACES (pilot) (2021)
WaxFactory is thrilled to collaborate with the playwright Rachel Jendrzejewski to explore a new immersive/site-specific work, TRACES, based on the ongoing, life-long opus of French photographer, writer, and conceptual artist Sophie Calle.
Throughout her storied career, Sophie Calle made a name for herself through daring, controversial, "famously first-person" feats of obsessively documenting her own intimately personal travails, impersonating fictional characters in real-life situations, and even spying on strangers. In recent years, much of her work has reckoned with mortality and death; for example, she filmed her mother's last moments of life and has held dress rehearsals for her own funeral. We are curious about the resonance of Calle's work in this unprecedented time of pandemic and polarized politics, as so many people are processing loss and contemplating their own mortality in new light, while simultaneously navigating rampant political misinformation and distrust--all realities complicated further by the necessity of social distancing.
This fall, we will share the first work-in-progress excerpt of our performance research towards the development of complete version of TRACES in 2022. This work takes individual audiences members, equipped with time-synched audio devices, listening to a narrator who prompts them to trace the journey of an individual (an actress) through a series of real public locations throughout the city, and document their actions via audio, video, and photo recordings.
The pilot performance of TRACES will take place in late October in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (NY.) Scroll below to reserve a viewing.

Q: How to determine size and position of span or relatively positioned element with Javascript/jQuery? For example, I want to draw submenu while its parent item is a <span> element. Can I determine the <span>'s dimensions and location on the fly?

A: width =     $(this).parents("span:first").width()
height =    $(this).parents("span:first").height()

position

    var p =$(this).parents("span:first");
    var position = p.position();
    $("#myLabel").text( "left: " + position.left + ", top: " + position.top );

A: Using jQuery you can get the element's width/height using:
$(this).parent().width();
$(this).parent().height();

And position:
$(this).parent().offset().left;
$(this).parent().offset().top;

A: jQuery provides a convenient way to get the dimensions or position of any element.
$myElement.offset()

will get you the location of the element, where you can then use top and left, and
$myElement.width()

will get you the element's width. height() acts the same way.

Chinese bank venture to take over 27 Norwegian A320neos
By David Kaminski-Morrow2019-10-24T07:18:35+01:00
Scandinavian budget carrier Norwegian is to establish a joint venture with China Construction Bank Leasing to take over 27 Airbus A320neo aircraft scheduled for delivery from next year.
Scandinavian budget carrier Norwegian is to establish a joint venture with China Construction Bank Leasing to take over 27 Airbus A320neo aircraft scheduled for delivery from next year.
The airline says the leasing arm will be the majority owner of the venture, with a 70% shareholding, while Norwegian will hold the balance.
Norwegian says the venture will initially have 27 A320neo-family jets which are due to be delivered over the period from 2020 to 2023.
The Chinese bank will provide aircraft financing within the joint venture, Norwegian adds.
It states that the agreement will reduce the airline's committed capital expenditure by around $1.5 billion, and have a "positive equity effect".

The second largest city in Bangladesh sits on the bank of the Karnapuli River and has an interesting old waterfront area known as Sadarghat which reflects the importance of river trade to the city's growth. Nearby is the old Portuguese enclave of Paterghatta which remains mostly Christian. The Shahi Jama-e-Masjid and Qadam Mubarak Mosque are two of the most impressive buildings in the city. It's also worth visiting the Ethnological Museum in the Modern City which has interesting displays on Bangladesh's tribal peoples. There are good views and cooling breezes from Fairy Hill in the British City in the north-western sector of the city.
Flights between Dhaka and Chittagong leave three to four times a day, as do the trains, which can take up to seven hours to reach Chittagong. The Dhaka-Chittagong highway is one of the better roads in the country, and there are several bus lines that use it, but the trip can be hairy at times and takes almost as long as the train trip, which is more comfortable and less nerve wracking. Chittagong is 264km (164mi) southeast of Dhaka.
Decidedly untypical of Bangladesh in topography and culture, the Chittagong Hill Tracts have steep jungle hills, Buddhist tribal peoples and relatively low density population. The tracts are about 60km (37mi) east of Chittagong, and if it weren''''''''t for the troubles in the region they would be an idyllic place to visit. The region comprises a mass of hills, ravines and cliffs covered with dense jungle, bamboo, creepers and shrubs, and has four main valleys formed by the Karnapuli, Feni, Shangu and Matamuhur rivers. Unfortunately, the region is not entirely safe because of military operations to subdue the tribes'''''''' Shanti Bahini (Peace Army). The troubles stem from the cultural clash between the tribal peoples, who are the original inhabitants of the area, and the plains people, who have begun to develop it. Sick of being displaced, and having their land stolen and encroached upon, the tribal people took to guerrilla warfare in the 1980s to preserve their culture. Getting a government permit to visit the area takes 10 to 14 days in Dhaka.
Rangamati, a lush and verdant rural area belonging to the Chakma tribe, is open to visitors, as is Kaptai Lake. The lake, ringed by thick tropical and semi-evergreen forests, looks like nothing else in Bangladesh. While the lake itself is beautiful, the thatched fishing villages located on the lakeshore are what make a visit really special. Boats that visit the villages leave from Rangamati. Bring your swimming gear because you can take a plunge anywhere.
To get to Rangamati, in the middle of the Hill Tracts, take a train, bus, or plane from Dhaka to Chittagong, and then a bus from Chittagong to Rangmati. It''''''''s about 314km (195mi) from Dhaka to Rangmati.
This tour's destination is to visit the interesting tribal culture with our cool forest life with the Chittagong hill districts The tour will bring you once again a back journey towards the past.
Sight seeing and Night Halt.
Departure Dhaka for Chittagong by Private AC Van On the way, we will visit Moinamoti, Comilla, Buddhist Stupa of 6th- 13th Century Arrive Chittagong and transfer to Hotel & Night Halt.

Illogicality and unreason, even absurd, are the main features of today's legal systems. Things are set in a way that anyone who delves deeper into the issue sees as illogical, but nonetheless persistently insists on its existence as the only possible and relevant one. Why is that so? Great spiritual teachers evaluated their disciples according to the questions they asked, rather than the answers they provided. There is one sublime of discovery in asking questions. The Bell of Truth, an educational platform that has been addressing questions for almost three years, primarily those about the true nature of legal reality, has come to the forefront of its discoveries about the illusory nature of the "legal reality. "After numerous reflections and practical experiences with this "legal reality", it is hardly possible to describe this space as real. After several thousand hours of work, tens of thousands of pages of text read in English, Croatian and other languages, after hundreds of documentary and feature films viewed and analyzed, we came to an irrefutable conclusion: "The legal world is a world that doesn't really exist, because all of its actors are fictional imaginary characters." Its existence is the result of massive mind manipulation, or rather, control, and blind faith has been identified as the source of dogma that gives the apparent straight, power and credibility to the said system. The irony of unprecedented proportions throughout this dogmatic belief lies in the understanding that "legal science" has nothing to do with science, precisely because it is based on dogma. Although the legal process itself, at least in theory, is based solely on facts, it is not possible to find any legal or natural person whose existence is fact, and therefore law itself is not a discipline based on facts or having legal origin.
In short, the authority of a court, a state, a police officer or other people in the roles of various officials exists only because we believe that they have some authority and that this is the natural order of things. In legal terms, their credibility, merely by casting a glance at a system called the "legal order," reveals itself as a fraud worthy of the finest magician craftsmen.
However, one part of this system is much heavier than the rest. It is a judicial system that is "independent" and has "immunity". Legislative power, and especially the executive, is interchangeable and subject to the law, its actors are ordinary executors of orders in the hands of the true power that is the only one empowered to make decisions, arbitrages, authorizations, orders as well as abolish all of them, including laws without ever responding to anyone. Time is changing. Finally, one man appeared openly on the Croatian political scene, speaking openly about the corrupt octopus of the "legal system", but he has not yet reached the core of the problem, even though he is being charged with 621 criminal/misdemeanor cases. He is the best example of how the system will literally swallow a truth-seeker and whistleblower who dared to act from the heart. It is Stipe Petrina, whose courage, if nothing else, really needs to be accept and appreciated. Other politicians (with a few exceptions) are ordinary ignorant, careerists, traitors to themselves and their loved ones, who claim to represent them and defend their interests. "The Bell of Truth" suggests some solutions that can be applied that will stimulate man to move out of the hole of death and change legal status from dead to living, from fictitious to real, from PERSON to man. Before that, it is necessary to acquire and understand certain knowledge and facts, so that one can without any doubt, on the basis of evidence, find out where the illusion and deception lies, so that he can no longer be deceived and subjugated by lies. ANCIENT COURTS In all human societies throughout history, there has been, at least in some form, an institution of the court that, in a simple language, has brought solutions to those events that could not be resolved between the parties involved in the dispute. Such judgments were accepted by the people because they were settled by people who enjoyed some influence in society. Through their behavior through community life, such people have gained an enviable reputation, and have treated them with confidence that they will make sure that justice, truth and morality, as something that everyone in the court is seeking, can be largely guaranteed. Any authority in any particular result area has those who believe in it listen eloquently to the judgments given and obey them. Courts and judges enjoyed unchallenged authority because they judged righteously, truthfully and morally, in accordance with the code of justice and truth. Because such courts have been judged on a voluntary basis, that is, only in cases where one of the parties has requested their mediation, there is a danger for unethical judges that no one in the future will seek the service of a court, because such judges have lost their credibility, and thus authority. There were also disputes in the ancient courts that were never resolved, simply because the parties to the dispute could not agree on the jurisdiction of the common court. If it is in someone's interest, the court has nothing to do with it. In order for the trial to be fair, certain rules have been established by logic and reason that can never be broken. In this way the ancient courts preserved their whiteness, and maintained their authority throughout the generations. Therefore, in ancient times, judges were, very often, people who were turned to the spiritual aspect of man and who were deeply aware of the nature of life, the interpenetration of nature, wildlife and man. The ancient judges were men of truth, wisdom and spirituality.
THE FUNDAMENTAL MAN'S RIGHTS FROM CREATOR (natural laws)• Not to be killed;• Not to be physically assaulted and injured;• Not to be raped;• Not to be stolen;• Not to be disturbed in the use of own property;• Not to be coerced into acting under threat.Remark:The Creator created man in the biological body of male or female.Man is a name that unites man and woman equally.THE POSTS OF ANCIENT COURTSAlthough we do not have any books explaining the nature of the first courts, the basic premise lies in reason, logic and healthy deliberation. Outside of the above rights of every man, it is impossible to designate any man's action that would harm another man – and therefore any man's behavior outside the enumerated categories is acceptable, although not everyone needs to like it, which is a completely natural, logical and reasonable conclusion. Why are there no books on the subject? Because no one considered it necessary to put natural laws, which are self-evident and which always act in the same way on every one of us without discrimination or protection, on paper. They need not be specifically explained to anyone except the indoctrinated modern man who believes that he must obey thousands of "laws" written by other people, such as not explaining that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Why should the sunrise in the East and the sunset in the West be in the form of a law? Therefore, in today's modern days, it is not difficult at all to set clear rules for conduct between people based on common sense, logic and truth, who do not discriminate against anyone, or who elevate themselves to a position above another man. For this reason, the basic rules are very easy to define. • No one holds the right to living/life• The right to the inanimate has its source only in the author of the inanimate or in the contract.• The legal system addresses issues of law and their sources.• One man's freedom of action is limited only by the other man's freedom and rights. RULE OF LAW – Consistent application of the above rules and principles is the rule of law. WHAT CAN WE CALL THE LAW? Law is a rule or custom that allows or prohibits certain actions (source: instructions or orders, discoveries, customs, consent)
WHAT IS NOT LAW?
A rule that is secret or hidden
A rule that is unclear or unclear meaning
A rule that cannot be applied
A rule where there is no justice
WHAT IS NOT THE RULE OF LAW?
If any of these things are violated then there is no rule of law
There is no rule of law – no justice.
WHAT IS JUSTICE?
The application of the rule of law through legal process by officials through doctrines. Justice has been a key concept of every law since the beginning of time.
Clean hands – no interest in the procedure;
Good faith – honest intent in the spirit of the oath;
Impartiality – the judge has an oath to enforce the law.
WHAT IS NOT JUSTICE?
There is no justice where there is no rule of law and where there is no officials acting justly.
unclean hands (courts buy cases);
bad faith (if you cannot swear this moment, then you are not a judge);
prejudice (you cannot handle the case biased, with prejudice).
DUE PROCESS – LEGAL PROCESS
Everyone is equal in law;
All are countable and responsible in law;
Everyone has the right to a fair trial;
Everyone has the right to know the allegations and evidence against them;
The respondent has the burden of proof;
Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise;
Action in law cannot proceed without examining the case;
Action in law cannot come from fraud, false faith, and prejudice;
No one is a judge in their case;
No one can suffer punishment for the mere intent or wrongdoing of another.
WHAT IS THE LAW TODAY?
There is no rule of law, only the rule of rights (since 1801, politicians, judges, merchants and bankers have declared themselves immune)
There is no justice (since 1840 law enforcement officials have started making money from cases, stopped swearing oaths, courts have become a private business)
Right = privilege
Rule of law= trading with privileges/rights
Who has more money can buy more privileges.

For example, employment law falls into both—the employment contract is a personal legislation matter, whereas health and safety within the workplace is a public law problem. There are a number of theories as to why public legislation is different to private legislation. These have developed over time, but it's widely regarded as a combination of the subjection concept and subject concept.
The subjection theory suggests that public law governs the relationship between the person and the state and personal law governs relationships of people. The topic concept means that if a person finds themselves in membership of a public physique, public regulation applies. Public law is essential due to the unequal relationship between the federal government and the public. The authorities is the only physique that may make decisions on the rights of individuals they usually should act within the law.
Under this approach, a area of regulation is taken into account public regulation the place one actor is a public authority endowed with the ability to act unilaterally (imperium) and this actor uses that imperium in the explicit relationship. In most jurisdictions, constitutional legislation is enshrined in a written document, the Constitution, generally together with amendments or different constitutional laws.

Leader stresses importance of deterrence in defeating enemies
Tehran, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that the Iranian nation 'will defeat the enemy, but this is not enough; economic deterrence is required.'
On the first day of the 1398 Persian New Year, dubbed the year of Boosting Production, Ayatollah Khamenei�the Leader of the Islamic Revolution�visited the Shrine of Imam Reza (as) in Mashhad, wherein he delivered his annual speech to the pilgrims and residents of the area.
***I believe the Year 1398 is, by God's grace, the year of opportunities
After congratulating the Iranian nation as well as all nations that celebrate Nowruz, Ayatollah Khamenei addressed his audience by calling the new Persian Year as the year of opportunities. His Eminence asserted: Some have suggested that this year is a year of threats. I do not believe in that at all. I believe the Persian year 1398 is the year of opportunities, by God's grace, the year of productivity and success.
The Supreme Leader described those inside the country who constantly talk negatively about the year ahead as influenced by the propaganda of the enemies and held: Of course those who suggest other views, and constantly threaten that unfavorable things will happen, are under the influence of the enemies' propaganda, whether knowingly or unknowingly. The enemies of this nation, in addition to all other things they do, they also engage in a psychological warfare and spread propaganda. These propagandas must be known as they are. They had the same propaganda for the year 1397 aimed at trying to frighten people.
Referring to U.S. officials the Leader once named 'Firstrate Idiots', Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the United States has failed in their calculations against Iran, and said: One of those idiots said that if they withdrew from the JCPOA, the people of Iran would go on riots and the people would not be able to afford even bread. Another of these idiots suggested that U.S. officials would celebrate 2019 in Tehran.
Imam Khamenei pointed to the faulty analysis offered by the United States regarding Iran's situation and elaborated on the reason behind these poor analyses by stating that: Is their analysis really so out of touch regarding the events in the region and the country? Are they seriously suggesting such analysis, which is only another sign of their idiocy? Or do they offer such analysis as part of their psychological warfare, so they are publicizing these words all over the world out of malice? I am not sure which the case is. It could be both idiocy and malice.
***Today our enemies in region know that the Islamic Republic can combat and defeat any enemy
The Supreme Leader elaborated on the enemies of Iran's efforts to stage economic and psychological wars against the Iranian nation by asserting that: Today the enemy is engaged in an economic war against us. Well the fact that the enemy is fighting against us is now recognized by all; the officials have understood that the enemy has initiated a war on us. Wars are not fought only by armaments; security and intellectual war is also a type of war, and can at times be more dangerous than a military war. This type of war can be seen in economic affairs. We must defeat the enemy in this war; and by God's grace, we will defeat them.
His Eminence went on to mention that: But this is not enough. My request from the various actors in the country government officials, academia, or in public sectors is different. In addition to defeating the enemy, we should repel the enemy. Sometimes, you might defeat the enemy but the enemy might wait for another opportunity to strike a blow; this is useless.
He stressed that Iran needs to achieve a deterrence level where enemies cannot harm the country's economy; he asserted: We must achieve a level where we repel the enemy, too. So the enemy sees they cannot harm us in the economy. Repelling is possible, just as has been the case with our military power. There was a time when the enemy bombarded our cities and we could not defend. Now that we have developed our equipment, the enemies in the region know that we can counter any enemy in the region by our precisionguided missiles.
Ayatollah Khamenei further slammed the Saudi regime for its despotic and dependent inclinations and held: I do not know any state in this region, or maybe anywhere in the world, worse than the Saudi regime. It is a despotic, dictatorial, corrupt, tyrannical and dependent regime. They provide such a regime with nuclear infrastructure. They announced that they would build a nuclear plant for it.
Ayatollah Khamenei declared that he does not worry about Saudi Arabia's developing nuclear plants as he predicts the fall of the Saudi regime in the near future. His Eminence held: They announced they would build missile producing sections. There, it is okay to build them because that country is dependent on them, and it belongs to them! Now even if they build them, I would not worry, because I know in the near future they will be in the hands of Islamic warriors, God willing.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution slammed Western coverage of the Christchurch terrorist attack for their double standards and Islamophobic motives and asked: Was not the recent incident in New Zealand�which entailed the massacre of Muslims�an incident of terrorist nature in their view? The Europeans, neither the politicians nor their media, would not call it a terrorist attack. They called it an armed attack instead. Whenever there is an action against someone supported by the West, terrorism and human rights are used to oppose it. But in this case the attack in New Zealand they would not call it a terrorist action. They are like this.
***Europe has practically withdrawn from the JCPOA
Ayatollah Khamenei criticized the European partners of the JCPOA for having breached their commitments by not standing against the United States and held: What was the responsibility of Europeans in the matter of the JCPOA? An agreement was achieved between six countries and Iran. One party was the United States which has already withdrawn. What did the other signatories commit to do? Europeans should have stood up to the US, saying that they would adhere to their commitments. Their commitment was to remove all sanctions. They should have resisted strongly.
His Eminence stressed that Europeans made excuse to evade their commitments and even went as far as imposing new sanctions on Iran, adding that: However they did not resist on the pretext of numerous excuses. Not only they did not stand up to the US, they also practically withdrew from the JCPOA even though they had insisted that we should keep to it. That is, they even imposed new sanctions against Iran.
The Supreme Leader went on to say: When Europeans act in this manner, what can we expect them? What has recently been said about the new financial channel they created is more like a joke. This is a sad joke, a nonsensical joke. Their duty is totally different from what they are suggesting to do. In our most recent international affair, the Europeans betrayed us again. We cannot expect them [to act appropriately].
