Why is Russia so obsessed with Ukraine?
DISCLAIMER: This article was produced before Russian Invasion to Ukraine
The tension between Ukraine and Russia that we have seen this past few months has concerned a wide range of communities. From businesses to politicians, from academics to civil societies, not only in Europe but also worldwide. Recently, the Kremlin recognition of Ukraine's two separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as an independent state has concerned many people and worsened the tension in Eastern Europe. The West has condemned the specific statement, with NATO chief declaring it a violation of international law and the United States ordering financial sanctions against Russia and the two territories (Al Jazeera 2022). However, it is worth diving into the root of the problem and asking a fundamental question that will bring more clarity to all of us: "Why is Russia so obsessed with Ukraine?"
Case overview
Before examining the initial inquiry, it is important to briefly mention what has occurred in the specific area until now. Ukraine is an Eastern European country located next to the borders of Russia. The two countries are historically linked together as the former state belonged to the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union until 1991. Since its independence, Ukraine has aimed to forge close relations with the West to secure its sovereignty and stability (Larrabee 1996: 249-250).
The Russo-Ukrainian crisis can be traced back to the conflict that started in 2014 and escalated again in 2021. The war was mainly revolved around the region of Crimea and parts of Donbas that were taken over by the Russian forces yet are internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory (CFR 2022). The recent international concern revolves around a possible invasion of Russian soldiers to the Ukrainian territory. Moscow has deployed more than 127.000 Russian troops, transferred Iskander operational-tactical missiles close to the borders, and increased its intelligence against Ukraine (Dangwal 2022; Lewis and Pamuk 2022).
Although Moscow's top armed forces commander, Valery Gerasimov, had stated that Russia did not plan to invade Ukraine and denounced these reports as lies, the situation has evolved quite differently (Lewis and Pamuk 2022). Russia has infringed the Minsk II agreement – signed by Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France back in 2015 – by ordering military troops in the pro-Kremlin regions of East Ukraine (MackInnon 2022; Herszenhorn 2022). In addition, it has demanded that NATO put an end to the military training in Ukraine and its increased weapon supply (Sandford 2022). The Russian Foreign Ministry has also prohibited Ukraine from entering NATO and forming closer ties with its Western allies (ibid.).
It is important to note that the American and European officials warned Russia that it would suffer severe consequences if it attacked its neighbour (TNYT 2022). NATO and the United States delivered written responses to Russia's security demands and offered a "serious diplomatic path" to resolve the crisis (ibid.). However, the current incidents undermine the potential diplomatic talks between the different actors – United Kingdom's Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has even claimed that Russia plans its "biggest war in Europe since 1945" (BBC 2022). An escalation of the situation will certainly, destabilize international security and, specifically, the geopolitical dynamics of the European Union and Russia (Hill 2022).
Historical and Geopolitical Reasons
After having delineated the Russo-Ukrainian crisis, we can move on to analyzing Russia's fixation on its neighbour. The article realizes that there are historical and geopolitical reasons for the country's behaviour and statements. Beginning with the first one, we should take a step back and go to the 9th century where the Kievan Rus was founded – a loose confederation of Eastern Slavic, Baltic and Finnic nations (TRT World 2021). The founding leader of the Kievan Rus dynasty, Rurik, has been perceived as one of the godfathers of the Russian state (ibid.). It becomes evident that Kyiv is being equalized with the birthplace of Russia (ibid.).
Besides the Kievan Rus dynasty, it is essential to mention that Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire and was, as a result, known as "Little Russia" or "Malorossiya" (TC 2021). Czarist policies in the 18th century attempted to diminish the use of both the Ukrainian language and culture to establish a dominant Russia in the specific region (ibid.). In addition, they intended to suppress the Ukrainian identity sovereignty and highlight that the country was a junior member of the Empire (ibid.). According to a former Russian General, Vladimir Putin has referred to Ukraine as "Little Russia", indicating that the Russian government still holds onto outdated beliefs and completely neglects Ukrainian sovereignty and independence (TRT World 2021). It becomes evident that the historical link between the two states translates into an emotional attachment for Moscow towards the Ukrainian territory (ibid.).
However, some geopolitical reasons lead to Russia's fixation on a specific country. During the Soviet era, Ukraine was the second-most powerful of all 15 Soviet Republics: it had defence industries, hosted most of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons and had a vast agricultural land (WION 2022). Nowadays, the state's military ranks 30th in the world with 1.1 million troops, and it has an important geopolitical location as its territory separates the West from Russia (NTW 2017). An expansion of NATO towards the East would not only pose a direct threat to Russia as Lithuania and Estonia – bordering Russia and former members of the Soviet Union – have also joined the union and adopted NATO sympathies (TRT World 2021). The Kremlin would lose its influence over Ukraine. From the perspective of Russia, this incident is not allowed to happen, taking into consideration the historical and emotional links that we have discussed prior.
Analyzing why Russia is obsessed with Ukraine is more complex than some people might have thought: historical and geopolitical reasons play a significant role in the Russo-Ukrainian crisis. As a result, diplomats and government advisors have to consider those aspects if they aim at a de-escalation of the conflict.

Home Politics Atiku's Exit; Seven State Governors Plan To Dump APC
Atiku's Exit; Seven State Governors Plan To Dump APC
Rivers State has expressed delight at the exit of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that it was the beginning of the ruling party's end in 2019.
-Atiku
Publicity Secretary of PDP in the State, Samuel Nwanosike, who spoke in Port Harcourt yesterday on the development said it was a clear indication that APC was a "dead" political party particularly in the state.
Nwanosike, who said the PDP was ready to welcome him and his likes to the party, blasted the APC-led Federal Government for leading Nigerians to the hardship they never imagined.
He said: "To PDP, the decision of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a welcome development. In fact, it is the beginning of the end of the All Progressives Congress in the country. His decision has shown clearly that leaders in the APC have seen that their political party has failed Nigerians. You can see the reasons he gave for leaving the party.
"It has shown clearly that APC, as a political party, does not have the capacity to manage the economy of the country. And the party is leading Nigerians into doom. The former vice president believes that, as pragmatic democrat, he cannot stay and watch somebody truncate the hard-earned democracy.
"They made lots of promises during the campaign and today, they cannot fulfill those promises or even work hard to achieve most of those promises. Virtually all the promises they made including restructuring of the economy, have not been achieved.
"They are making excuses, playing blame games from one position to the other. Worst of it all is that, we are not even seeing who is in charge of the government. The DSS and EFCC are drawing guns against each other. A situation where people are sacking and employing Maina shows that President Buhari is not in charge of the government", PDP spokesman stated.
The resignation of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has caused a fresh division among the political forces in Northern Nigeria, with major political blocs in the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the region returning to the drawing board to plan fresh alliances.
Though Atiku, who in a letter made public last Friday, said he was resigning from the ruling APC, which he joined in 2013, is yet to declare for any other party, political forces in the North have begun a scamper to redraw strategies to either contain the ace politician or attract his interest.
It was gathered that already, no fewer than seven state governors, serving ministers, several lawmakers in both chambers of the National Assembly, as well as others holding key positions in the government and the APC have concluded plans to dump the party to follow the former vice-president, who is believed to be heading to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A close source to the former Vice-President told our correspondent in Abuja, last Saturday, that barring last-minute change, Atiku has concluded plans to storm the National Secretariat of the PDP in the first week of December 2017 along with his supporters after he must have declared for the party in Yola, Adamawa State.
This was just as a barrage of reactions, last Saturday trailed the resignation of the former vice-president from the APC, with prominent Northerners, including former Presidential Aide, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai; former member of the House of Representatives and critic, Alhaji Junaid Mohammed, among other individuals, groups and associations, giving divided opinions on the exit of the Adamawa-born politician from the APC and his reported 2019 presidential ambition.
We gathered that some power brokers in the various camps held a series of consultations at the weekend, with the sole aim of forging fresh alliances, while more consultations were said to have been planned for different locations in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Tuesday and Thursday this week by the arrowheads of a medley of politicians and professionals from varying backgrounds.
A source told one of our correspondents that Atiku had been chosen to speak at a public forum being put together by another coalition to set the tone for his presence at the national convention of the PDP on December 9, 2017 in Abuja.
Reports from Kaduna, the political headquarters of Northern Nigeria, indicated frenzied moves by some power brokers to review some plans on the ground before now following the likelihood of realignment of forces in the political circle, especially in the light of the PDP convention.
Findings also confirmed that Atiku indeed reached out to some key politicians of Northern extraction to apprise them of his decision to quit APC and seek another political platform to pursue his presidential bid.
A reliable source at the secretariat of PDP, Kaduna State, who spoke with our correspondent on a condition of anonymity, said the former VP had met with some top stalwarts in the state over his presidential ambition.
Though the source could not say who and who the former number two man met with, he was said to have consulted some chieftains of the party secretly before he made his resignation known.
This claim was also confirmed by the state's chairman of the Atiku Care Foundation (ACF), Alhaji Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, who told newsmen that consultations with various interest groups and individuals "are currently ongoing."
"I want to assure you that these groups and individuals have given us their words. We are waiting to see the party that our mentor (Atiku) will join and we will follow him there," he said.
However, renowned political critic, Dr. Junaid Muhammed, has said that the resignation of the former vice-president from the APC was not a big deal, saying as far as he [Junaid Mohammed] was concerned, "the former vice -president is an expired politician, who is in politics to make money and not to contribute positive quota to nation-building."
According to Mohammed, "this is not the first time the former vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will leave a party on the claims of being sidelined or for whatever reasons.
If he could leave the PDP and go to contest on the platform of the Action Congress when he was the immediately past vice-president of the PDP; that shows you the kind of character we are dealing with."
Former Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters to former President Shehu Shagari, Yakassai, said he was not surprised that Atiku resigned his membership of the APC, saying it would be an eye-opener to the APC, "as many people who made it possible for the APC to become the ruling party in 2015 are not happy about not being carried along."
He said the others would sooner or later leave the party.
Speaking with our correspondent in Kano, the elder statesman noted that the body language of APC, its leaders and the former vice-president had been showing that there had been unfavourable conditions among them.
His words: "There had been disagreement among the APC, its leaders and Atiku for a long time and anybody that is familiar with partisan politics, would realise that there was total disconnect between the APC and the former vice-president. So, I am not surprised that he left the party."
Yakassai noted that the character of Nigerian politics today "is that people move to political parties that would be convenient for them or accommodate their aspirations," berating all political parties in the country for being the same and without ideologies.
Meanwhile, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has tackled the Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, who said that "God has decreed that this is President Muhammadu Buhari's time. As long as he remains in politics, he sees no Nigerian who can match him".
Fani-Kayode while reacting to the governor's statement said that 'that is what they said about Goliath until David came along! For every Goliath, there is a David. Hubris leads to nemesis.'
Fani-Kayode, in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle, also said "As a party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is now at a crossroad: the moment of truth has finally arrived."
According to him, if the PDP makes the right choices, the party shall excel and overcome her common enemies.
"If we make the wrong choices, we shall suffer defeat and never recover again. The choice is ours. May God guide us", he stated.
Fani-Kayode also used the opportunity to beg the former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who just left the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Similarly, an author and ex-aide to former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari may have been jittery over the news of the dumping of All Progressives Congress (APC), by a presidential contender and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku had, last Friday, announced his resignation from the APC, saying the party has failed Nigerians and has equally instituted a draconian regime that has continued to clamp down on democracy in the country.
He also accused the APC of having no regard for the youth, especially as he said the party has no single youth in its cabinet, wondering how the leaders of tomorrow are not a priority for the party.
Omokri also stated that Buhari must be very jittery that he quickly set up a committee to increase minimum wage, a ploy he said was being used by the president, perhaps, to bribe Nigerians.
According to him, "On the same day that Atiku resigned from the APC, President Buhari decided to set up a committee to increase the minimum wage. Coincidence or signs that the President is jittery over his impending 2019 defeat and wants to bribe Nigerians with a salary increase".
Former Nigerian vice president Atiku Abubakar who last Friday announced his decision to leave APC, has arrived in Yola where he is now engaged in series of meetings with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) officials at all levels who keep trooping to his house to woo him back into the party.
Our correspondent reports that the former Vice President had so far met with Adamawa PDP executives at all level as well as state chairmen from the six states that constituted North East, including the National Vice chairman North East of the party.
Commenting on the meeting between Atiku and the state executives of PDP, the State Secretary of PDP, Alhaji Abdulllahi Prambe, said the meeting was fruitful.
"Our meeting with him has been fruitful and from his body language he will soon return to PDP," Prambe said.
Prambe said that it would be a big boost to the party at the state and national levels when Atiku finally returned.
"With Atiku, the party will carry more weight and more people will also troop in," Prambe said.
When contacted about developments, Atiku's spokesman, Mr Paul Ibe, declined to comment.

Former University of Montana law professor and current Constitutional Fellow at the Independence Institute, Rob Natelson, is now a contributing columnist for the Daily Caller.
Natelson took the opportunity after the announcement by President Donald Trump that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke would be stepping down at the end of the year to suggest a replacement that would encourage the U.S. Government to begin divesting itself of millions of acres of public land.
Natelson provided examples of how the federal government could easily divest itself of large swaths of public land.
Natelson said there are steps to make sure those lands are preserved.
"National recreation areas can be managed by the states as well, or better than they're being managed by the federal government," he said. "In Great Britain where I've spent a great deal of time, they have a system whereby valuable lands are put into perpetual trusts, and those trusts are separate from the government, so they're not buffeted by the kind of politics that can lead to wildfires and conflicts over wolves, and so forth," he said. "Getting rid of excessive land holdings doesn't mean that we're going to be selling land with environmental value, such as national parks, to the highest bidder," he said.

We trek the Plaza de Mulas (Normal) route through the Horcones Valley, this approach guaranteeing appropriate acclimatization and a better chance at the summit. While this approach is non-technical, it is no easy feat to reach the top.

Helping the disaster afflicted in Nepal
The 2015 earthquake that rocked Nepal was one of the worst disasters to befall the Mountain nation ever. More than 8000 people died and more than thrice that number were injured. Hundreds of thousands were rendered homeless and entire districts were cut off from Kathmandu for months.
The World Peace Center (Alandi), could not remain impassive in this time of need of the Nepali people. Notwithstanding the enormous technical hassles presented, MAEER's MIT decided to aid the affected people in any way they could.
There was relief material sent along with volunteers to oversee a fair and efficient distribution. This team consisted of ex-students, students and faculty. Next, an earthquake resistant house was built as a prototype within the MIT, Pune campus.
Then, on the peaceful occasion of Buddha Jayanti, 120 such houses were built by MIT in Nepal and presented to the families who had lost their homes in the calamity. Not only that, but the dmaged 'Purano Gujeshwari' temple was also rebuilt by MIT as a gesture of peace, harmony and solidarity for the people of Nepal. The presentation of the houses was done under the auspices of Spiritual Guru Sri M and Prof Dr Vishwanath D Karad.
The Road to peace starts at Rui, Latur (India)
The village of Rui located within the Latur district of Maharashtra is a veritable microcosm of the nation of India itself. The villagers of Rui are predominantly Hindus with sizeable Muslim and Buddhist minorities, and they all have been happily coexisting for a very long time. This is the hometown of MAEER'S founder and the iconic educationist, Prof Dr Vishwanath D Karad and perhaps that is where he got his inspiration for the virtues and values of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'. Shri Karad's World Peace ideology must have seen its inception within the peaceful environs of Rui and his firm desire to see the world live in peace and harmony must also have been influenced by what he felt and experienced growing up there.
That is not to say that the village has not seen its share of communal discord. Roughly 275 years ago the marauding armies of the Nizam saw fit to destroy the ancient Sriram temple located within the village and as recently as the 1940's, during the Razakar agitation, Hindu mobs destroyed the Jumma Masjid and Khwaja Zainuddin Dargah situated within the village limits. Time and the locals themselves, proved to be the ablest healers in this communal discord. And in 2011, a miracle happened….
Hindus and Muslims came together in the year 2011 to rebuilt the destroyed mosque and temple, and through that act, celebrate diversity and the 'Bharatiya' way to living and letting live! Not only that, but the village of Rui also constructed a Buddhists temple in the style of Japanese Pagodas to honor the spirit of Buddha and India's constitutional architect, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Taking cue for this occirances Prof Dr Vishwanath Karad ensured the construction of the 'Vishwadharmi Shriram-Rahim Manavta Setu' to celebrate bridging the divide between Hindus and Muslims. Hats off to the people of Rui and hats off to Prof Dr V D Karad for bringing their message of communal harmony to the world at large!
The Ramjanmbhoomi – Babri Masjid dispute: An Indian resolution
The dispute over the Ramjanmbhoomi in Ayodhya shows no signs of abating. It all started during the reign of the first Mughal Emperor, Babur. He demolished a temple at the disputed grounds and built a grand mosque over it which bore his namesake. The mosque, which had held no prayers for a good half century was demolished by an angry Hindu mob in 1992 resulting in terrible communal riots throughout the Indian Subcontinent. Now the stalemate is whether the Hindus have a right over the property, or the Muslims or even an Akhara (which has a very strong legal position over the land). This seems to be a question with no tangible answer, and yet Prof Dr Karad has come up with a novel idea, that if implemented, can resolve this issue specifically and all communal issues generally.
The Vishwadharmi Shriram manavta Bhawan is a proposed complex that will be built over the 67 acre plot adjacent to the Ramjanmbhoomi (which is just a paltry 2.77 acres) and will be dedicated to all the world's religions and to spirituality as a whole. The project, as envisioned by Prof Dr V D Karad will have knowledge centers dedicated to the holiest books of each religion namely the Gita (Hinduism), Quran (Islam), Dharmapad (Buddhism), Aagam (Jainism), Avestha (Zorastriasm), Torah (Judaism), Guru Granth Sahib (Sikhism) and the Bible (Christianity) situated in a round table format. At the center of it will be a statue dedicated to Lord Rama, but in a secular way, by which his qualities as imbibed by all Indians are to be understood. India is a land that has always welcomed and flourished within diversity. Almost all the world religions have a sizeable representation within the subcontinent. This is the essence of what Prof Dr Karad wishes to encapsulate through the building he proposes should be erected on the disputed site. Within each center will be the scriptures of the relevant religion along with opportunities to hold discourse and discussion over it. In this way Prof Karad wishes to celebrate the very essence of 'Indianess'. Only in such a way can the nation understand that the only 'foreign' value within our great nation is intolerance, and the structure erected will be its vanquisher.
'Bhagwan Gautam Buddha Vihar and Bharatratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Smriti Vishwashanti Bhavan'
The 'Bhagwan Gautam Buddha Vihar and Bharatratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Smriti Vishwashanti Bhavan', located at Rameshwar (Rui), is an outstanding monument constructed in Japanese Pagoda style of architecture,as a homage to Lord Buddha, one of the greatest messengers of peace as well as to Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar, a great social reformer and architect of the constitution of India.

Between Two Worlds by Zainab Salbi
Zainab Salbi was eleven years old when her father was chosen to serve as Saddam Hussein's personal pilot, her family often forced to spend weekends with Saddam where he watched their every move. As a palace insider, Zainab offers a singular glimpse of what it is like to come of age under a dictator and provides an intimate portrait of the man she was taught to call "uncle." She watched as Saddam pitted friends, spouses and even children against each other to compete for his approval. She was sent to donate her mother's jewelry to one of the world's richest men, asked to erase her memory as she heard of crimes she was not supposed to hear of, and witnessed her mother hiding her tears lest it upset Saddam. Her mother eventually sent Zainab to America for an arranged marriage, to spare her from Saddam's growing affections, but the marriage intended to save her turned out to be another world of tyranny and abuse.Despite extraordinary psychological challenges, Zainab started over. She forged a new identity as founder and president of Women for Women International, a nonprofit organization for female victims of war, dedicated to providing women of war and civil unrest with the resources to become self-sufficient citizens and promote peace. Zainab has traveled and promoted her organization widely, speaking out on behalf of oppressed women around the world, but until now has never told this very personal tale.In BETWEEN TWO WORLDS Zainab Salbi reveals the tyrant through the eyes of a child, a secretly rebellious teenager, an abused wife, and ultimately a professional woman coming to terms with the horror of secrets her mother revealed only on her deathbed. Through her ability to come to terms with the child she used to be and dangerous world in which she managed to survive, BETWEEN TWO WORLDS emerges as a story of heroism like no other.

So anyway, to make up for it, I'm thinking of writing a "7 days of Sheet Masks" series because I did a similar skincare routine a while back, using one sheet mask a day, and it turned out to be a savior for my skin.
"Optimal whitening, brightening, and moisturizing. Supreme black pearl essence from Tahiti is rich in vitamins, minerals & amino acids that will rejuvenate tired dull skin".
Aside from the Tahitian black pearl essence, this sheet mask is also formulated with yeast protein and lemon extract to tone and brighten the skin, also deep sea red algae and sugar cane essence that provides hydration and immediate relief to dry skin.
This sheet mask has plastic-backed sheet with a very transparent material that fits rather small for my already-small face. It also has an abundant of essences! The sheet itself was very wet and moist, and it left a lot of essence in the packaging once you pull out the sheet mask so you can use the essence left for extra layer of moisture or use it on other parts of your body that needs extra treatment such as your neck or hands.
I basically like sheet masks that has some extra essence in the packaging but I don't like it as much when there's too much essence left, because I hate throwing away products. I also not fond of sheet masks that has too many essence that makes it drips (i hate dripping sheet masks, ugh!). And this one drips a lot! Although some people might like it because it means it got more moisture but I personally hates sheet masks that drips.
It felt a bit warm on my skin at first application, and it also has that tingly sensation when i put it on the first time. But all of that subdued rather quickly and it felt moisturizing and comfortable enough sitting on my face for 15-20 minutes.
Overall this sheet mask does gives you brightening and moisturizing effect, and I also used the abundant essence left inside the packet for my neck, hands, and feet (Yes the essence was that abundant I can literally cover my face, neck, arms, and legs!). So whether or not I would repurchase this? Hmm probably I won't, because I hate dripping masks. But other than that it is a great sheet mask for moisturizing and brightening properties.

Tremors strike Cotabato anew amid fears death toll will soar
Posted at Oct 31 2019 05:36 AM | Updated as of Oct 31 2019 06:16 AM
MANILA (UPDATE)—A string of earthquakes struck Cotabato early Thursday, the state seismology agency said, as authorities fear the death toll will rise with several others still missing.
The light tremors occurred in Tulunan town, the epicenter of Tuesday's 6.6-magnitude earthquake that wrought widespread damage across southern Mindanao.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded the first quake at 12:35 a.m., measuring at 4.4 in magnitude at a depth of 10 kilometers.
Less than 2 hours later, a 4.3-magnitude quake followed after, at a depth of 9 kilometers.
Two temblors then shook Tulunan anew—a 4.7-magnitude at 4:35 a.m. and 4.6-magnitude at 5:30 a.m.
Intensity 5, which can cause "strong" shaking, was recorded in Kidapawan City.

The Walrus-class submarine is the only submarine class currently in operation in the Royal Netherlands Navy. The boats have been in service since 1990 and are all named after sea mammals.

History
In 1974, the Royal Netherlands Navy announced, through the Ministry of Defence's 10-year plan , that it wanted to replace its aging s. Since the 1960s, the Royal Netherlands Navy had been conducting studies and research into a suitable replacement attack submarine. This research initiative concluded that the Netherlands should build conventional diesel-electric submarines, as nuclear submarines were costly and could only be constructed, crewed, and maintained by countries with major navies such as the United States, France and the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, even with the diesel-electric submarine, the Dutch government sought to work together with international allies to reduce construction costs.

Between 1975 and 1978, the design of the Walrus-class was for the most part completed, and included many improvements which would result in new, state-of-the-art submarines that would mark a significant improvement over previous submarines used by the Royal Netherlands Navy. For example, a special kind of French-produced steel was used to construct the hull of the Walrus-class submarines; this steel proved to be more elastic, allowing submarines of the class to dive deeper than previous submarines. Furthermore, there was a focus on automation which was aimed at decreasing the manpower required to operate the submarines, while also making them more effective against threats.

On 19 June 1979, Minister of Defense Willem Scholten signed a contract worth 425 million guilders with the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM) to build two submarines to replace the Dolfijn-class submarines, with the construction of the second boat to commence the following year. Soon, RDM noticed that the new submarines could not be built the same way as the s; it had to use new techniques to build the submarines. Furthermore, the design was constantly modified to incorporate new developments in the submarine world, which led to issues that slowed the building process. Nonetheless, construction continued and on 11 October 1979,  was laid down. Two years later, on 24 September 1981,  was laid down.

Unexpectedly, on 19 February 1983, RDM's parent company Rijn-Schelde-Verolme declared bankruptcy, despite successive governments providing 2.2 billion guilders in state aid to RSV. This was problematic because the construction of the Walrus-class submarines was far from completion. To ensure construction of the submarines continued, RDM was re-established as an independent company. Furthermore, the Royal Netherlands Navy ordered an additional two Walrus-class submarines earlier than planned to assist RDM financially. However, at this time the Walrus-class submarines were facing many problems.

New problems arose on 14 August 1986, when the command center of Walrus caught fire, while it was still on a scaffold in the shipyard. The fire lasted about five hours, and resulted in immense damage to the submarine; the command center was completely burned out. While some equipment could be rescued, most had to be replaced. This delayed the construction of the submarines once again. The costs of the resulting damage was 225 million guilders, which was fully covered by insurance. The exact location, origin and cause of the fire was never established. Presumably, the fire was caused in the vicinity of the corporals and men's washroom by a defect in the electrical work lighting. Repairs were reported as complete in 1987, but had so delayed construction of Walrus that the second submarine (with construction number 349) was put into service as the first of the class, with the name HNLMS Zeeleeuw (sea lion). HNLMS Walrus was put into service two years later. The two other boats were put into service as  and  (porpoise). The delays meant that ,  and  of the Dolfijn-class had to remain in service longer than planned. All the problems, delays and rising costs were eventually dubbed by the Dutch national parliament as the "Walrus-affair". Nonetheless, at the time of their commissioning, the Walrus-class submarines were considered to be one of the most modern and advanced conventional submarines in operation.

Design
The Walrus-class submarines are unusual in that instead of a cross-shaped assembly of stern diving planes and rudders, they mount four combined rudders and diving planes in an "X" configuration. This tail configuration was first tested in 1960 on the United States Navy's , and has since been used by the Walrus class, all Swedish Navy submarines since the , the Royal Australian Navy's , the German Navy Type 212A and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's . The X configuration is a complex system and therefore not implemented by many other navies around the world.

The submarines of the Walrus-class, when submerged, are silent and therefore difficult to detect by ships, planes and other submarines once they go into hiding. This makes the boats very suitable for combating surface vessels and submarines, protecting friendly units, gathering information, providing early warning detection, and supporting special operations. The submarines can also be used to enforce international sanctions, as they did during the Yugoslav Wars.

The Walrus-class submarines were specifically designed for hunting Russian submarines during the Cold War. However, the Cold War had ended by the time they became operational. Nonetheless, they have provided excellent services in various international conflict situations in which the deployment of the Royal Netherlands Navy was requested. Since the Dutch submarines have acquired a good reputation, they are often part of international exercises, taking part in mock battles.

Operational history
After the Cold War, the submarines have been tasked with many highly confidential intelligence gathering operations, many of which are still classified. They have operated in the Northern Atlantic, Mediterranean Yugoslavian region, the Persian Gulf at Iran and Iraq, and the Caribbean, often upon the request of allies, including the United States.

In June 2010, the Netherlands agreed to deploy one submarine to help combat piracy off the coast of Somalia.

In November 2016, the Russian Navy claimed to have chased off a Walrus-class vessel from a battle group that included the .

Submarine command course
The Walrus-class submarines are used for the Submarine Command Course (SMCC) for both national and international candidates (including the UK, Australia and Canada), selecting and training future commanders of conventional submarines. They are highly rated, with an exceptional reputation. The Royal Netherlands Navy began this course after the British Royal Navy phased out their conventional submarines.

Upgrade program

In 2007, the Dutch cabinet approved an upgrade of the four operational submarines and recruitment of additional crew to improve overall operational availability. The upgrades were focused on near-shore operations and integration with new weapons, and include:
 the migration from the MK 48 mod-4 torpedo to the mod-7 version
 replacing one periscope with a non-hull-penetrating optronic mast from L-3 KEO which enables the submarine to capture HD footage, both day and night
 addition of a mine and obstacle avoidance sonar by ELAC Nautik
 refurbishing of the pressure hull
 introduction of a new combat management system
 modifications to support special operations forces

In 2013, the contract for the Walrus-class (IP-W) Conservation Program was signed. The program covers the preservation of the pressure skin, the replacement of the sonar, navigation periscope and GIPSY combat system, improved communication systems and adaptations to a number of platform systems. All four boats must be modernized by 2019. With the conservation program, boats can be kept operational until mid-2025. The cost of upgrading the four submarines is estimated to be 94 million euros. The first boat to be upgraded was , followed by ,  and . The upgrade of Zeeleeuw took longer than expected.  Initially the upgrade was expected to have been completed by 2015, but it took until 2016 before the submarine was ready for service again. Currently, Bruinvis is being upgraded at the Den Helder naval base. The Dutch navy has also begun to prepare for the replacement of the Walrus-class submarines.

Replacement

In November 2014, the Dutch Minister of Defence announced plans to replace the Walrus-class submarines in 2025. By 2017, there was still no political agreement on the quantity or type of new submarines to be ordered, nor the tasks they were expected to perform. However, it seems certain that they will be replaced, since the alleged Russian threat was regarded an incentive to invest in a new class. The Minister of Defence, however, delayed the replacement by two years, until 2027. Roughly, there are two groups in the Dutch parliament – one in favor of replacing the Walrus-class by an equally capable class of large, expeditionary, diesel-electric submarine, and the other in favor of choosing a cheaper solution of smaller diesel-electrics, similar to Swedish and German submarines. It is unknown where the new boats will be built; since the Dutch RDM shipyard (the only Dutch yard capable of building submarines) is no longer in operation. The Defensienota (Defense policy for the coming years) of March 2018 revealed that the Dutch government is still planning to replace the Walrus-class submarines, with an allocated budget of more than 2.5 billion euros for the new submarines. Additional information on how to proceed with the replacement was expected at the end of 2018, when the Dutch Minister of Defence, Ank Bijleveld, was to send a so-called B-letter to the Dutch parliament. Minister Bijleveld also underlined in an interview that the new submarines should have the same niche capabilities as the current Walrus-class submarines: the ability to operate and gather intelligence in both shallow water close to the coast and in deep water in the ocean. In mid-2021 it was indicated that a revised plan envisaged taking a replacement decision in 2022 and to have the first vessel in service by 2028, with the first two boats to be in service by 2031. However, in October 2021 it was reported that this timeline was no longer feasible. Instead, the Dutch Ministry of Defence signalled that the envisaged dates would have to be "substantially adjusted", possibly incorporating a life extension refit for the existing Walrus-class boats.

In April 2022 it was announced that two of the Walrus-class boats would be extended in service until the mid-2030s and that in order to do so safely a different maintenance approach would have to be adopted for the entire fleet with one of the four existing boats to be decommissioned in the short-term, followed by a second boat later. On 16 November 2022 it was revealed that Walrus will be the first boat to be decommissioned sometime in 2023. The revised schedule for the construction of the new replacement boats would likely see the first two vessels entering service in the 2034 to 2037 timeframe.

Contenders
The Ministry of Defence has shortlisted three bidders:
 Damen Group and Saab Group announced that they have partnered from 2015 to jointly develop, offer and build next-generation submarines that are able to replace the current Walrus-class submarines. It was announced on 1 June 2018 that their design will be derived from the A26 submarine. The proposed submarine is around  long with a diameter of . Furthermore, the weight will be around 2900 tonnes, complementing 34 to 42 people. The boat's armament includes 6 torpedo tubes and 1 multi-mission lock which can be used to deploy special forces.
 Naval Group announced that it is offering its newest submarine class, the Barracuda-class, as replacement for the Walrus-class. A version of the "Shortfin" diesel-electric variant Barracuda-class will be offered, rather than the nuclear variant used by the French Navy.
 ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems is planning to offer a Type 212CD submarine.

Spain's Navantia's S-80 was not accepted as a contender following the B-letter in 2019. In 2022 the Spanish Ministry of Defence send a letter to the Dutch DMO for Navantia to be allowed to put in an offer following the announcement that a RFQ will be sent to the remaining contenders, in which some of the requirements have changed. It is rumoured that the request was denied by DMO.

On 16 November 2022 the RFQ was sent out to the three remaining shipyards. It is expected they will submit their bids around the summer of 2023.

What should I do so that it can locate my databases?

A: I faced the same issue.
We need to use Square brackets for database name
ie
use [database]
instead of
use database
Hope it helps.

A: You can re-attach the database files (assuming that your current installation is at at least the same service pack/patch level as you previously had it).
You can attach the database using either Management Studio, or using CREATE DATABASE

A: When you re-installed the instance, it won't delete any existing database files and when you are creating a new database its complaining that the file already exists in the default path.
Go to the location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\ and manually delete the myDB.mdf and .ldf files and next go ahead with creating a new database.
HTH

A: Sometimes I simply just get this issue because I didn't change the primary available database by pressing Ctrl+U into the new DB I created. Often helps to check.

I recently got sent some wonderful new paints to try out alongside my Gelli Arts ® printing plates and thought I would share some progress pics with you all!
I thought they would be perfect for printing with leaves since the colours reminded me of the beginning of fall!
I used a gelli arts ® small 6×6 inch plate to create a background in the lighter colour of linen first.
Once this was dry I used the small round plate and some leaves to create two different types of prints: a main print and a ghost print. I started with the lighter colours and used the oranges, yellows and reds to layer up leaf prints. By placing my plate on an old cd case I could press it down on my background and get the print in precisely the same place each time I put down a layer.
Finally I rolled out a layer of black and did my final print layer in that.
So again, I ended up with a main print and a ghost print! I loved working with these paints and look forward to experimenting with them again. Look out for a possible wee video in the near future!
Head on over to the Gelli Arts® blog for other fun projects using this product!
Art Walk Alchemy: New collaborative course!
Wondering if I can purchase the gelli plates anywhere locally to me… Elgin/Forres? or of I need to buy online? If so which company would you recommend?
Had a chance to try them at a pals house and loved them. Hoping to use them with a group I run as a volunteer… using the arts to build self esteem in teenage girls. I have a class this week… wish I'd thought of it a bit sooner!!!
Hi sara I'm guessing your best bet is to buy from amazon as they will maybe deliver fairly quickly? Don't know offhand of local stockists in your area. How exciting I think that will be a fun class!

Q: Prevent Firefox From Crashing When Being Terminated via Command Line TaskKill? I noticed that when I close FF in Java using through PID using command line:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /T /PID " + pid);

Firefox terminates "abnormally" and when I restart FF, I see message that FF crashed and I'm faced with option to either restore previous session or start new session. This does not happen when clicking the X icon in top right hand corner of FF browser.
Is there any way to close FF programmatically (in Java) without running into this issue?

From diagnoses to post-treatment (survivorship), coping with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is likely to require calling upon a trifecta of tools—emotional support for dealing with the shock of diagnosis and the rigors of treatment; strategies for relieving physical symptoms and side effects; and reliance on other people to provide support.
Coping with cancer is like an endurance challenge with occasional sprints. When you're first diagnosed, the best first step (most of the time) is to take a moment to catch your breath. From there:
Learn as much as you can about your disease. This can be empowering during a time when you're likely to feel anxious and as if you've lost control of your life. Practically speaking, self-knowledge will allow you to be an active member of your cancer care team and an advocate for your care. Look for solid information online and ask your doctor a lot of questions.
Bring a friend or trusted family member to medical appointments, not only to provide emotional support but also to ask questions you may find difficult and to take careful notes.
Allow yourself to feel your feelings. They're likely to ping-pong all over the place and that that is normal.
Find someone you can be "real" with. This could be a family member or, better yet, a compassionate and level-headed friend you can share your thoughts with. However, given depression and anxiety are common for people with cancer, a therapist might be best of all. Your doctor may be able to refer you to a counselor who specializes in oncology and has a working knowledge of the challenges you're facing. Many cancer treatment centers have mental health professionals on staff as well.
How to Tell Loved Ones About a Cancer Diagnosis
Hodgkin lymphoma causes few symptoms, but all types of cancer tend to render people excessively tired, yet often unable to sleep well. HL also tends to cause itchy skin. Treatment for HL—namely, chemotherapy and, if it's required, radiation therapy—have common side effects that can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and emotionally challenging.
Disease Side Effects
Often, discomfort and other symptoms experienced during cancer treatment can stem both from the illness and from the treatment. Keep your doctor up-to-date about what you're going through so that together you can home in on the source or sources of your symptoms.
Getting adequate rest is extremely important to healing, but many people with HL cope with cancer-related insomnia. Talk to your doctor about treatments for sleep problems you may be having. Fatigue can result from illness as well as from anemia brought on by suppression of bone marrow (a common side effect of chemotherapy).
Let your doctor know how tired you've been so that they can rule out treatable causes such as anemia, low blood oxygen levels, sleep apnea, or medications. For your part, getting enough sleep, eating regular, nutritious meals, getting moderate amounts of exercise, and reaching out for help from others are all ways to tackle extreme tiredness.
Roughly 30% of people with Hodgkin lymphoma develop a persistent and very annoying itch. Getting relief from the so-called "Hodgkin itch" can be challenging: Some people are helped by medications such as antidepressants and anti-histamines. Alternative therapies (massage, acupuncture, and medication) may also be useful.

Treatment Side Effects
Hodgkin lymphoma typically is treated with chemotherapy and, sometimes, follow-up radiation. You may be faced with the following:
Once one of the most feared side effects of chemo, these unpleasant symptoms have become less severe and less common for many with cancer thanks to modern medicines formulated to be less distressing to the gastrointestinal system. Many people now have little or no chemotherapy-induced nausea.
For those that do, there are quite a few anti-nausea medications that your doctor can prescribe for you; some can be given in combination. Examples include:
Emend (aprepitant)
Decadron (dexamethasone)
Anzemet (dolasetron)
Kytril (granisetron)
Droperidol (haloperidol)
Ativan (lorazepam)
Reglan (metoclopramide)
Zofran (ondansetron)
Aloxi (palonosetron)
Compazine (prochlorperazine)
Phenergan (promethazine)
Increasingly, cannabinoids are being given to prevent and ease nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy as well, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), so it may be worth exploring the availability of legal medical marijuana in your state with your doctor. Meanwhile, you can take non-pharmaceutical steps to prevent GI distress during chemo.
10 Ways to Prevent Nausea and Vomiting During Chemo
Do not drink fluids during meals, but do drink lots of fluids in between.
Don't eat foods that are greasy and high in fat before treatment sessions.
After eating, stay sitting up for half an hour.
Save your favorite foods for when you are done with chemotherapy.
Avoid odors that make you feel queasy.
Wear clothes that are loose around your abdomen.
Don't smoke (even better, kick the habit altogether).
Do not exercise right after eating.
Make your environment and food as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Certain side effects of chemotherapy, such as taste changes (metal mouth) and mouth sores, can make it difficult to eat at a time when it's vital to take in plenty of calories and nutrients. A cancer nutritionist can offer guidance to help you overcome these problems, such as recipes for soft foods you can prepare at home and store-bought liquid nutritional supplements.
This can be a distressing side effect of chemotherapy, and well-meaning "It will grow back fast" comments aren't likely to help. There are ways to cope, from having a wig made from your own hair before it falls out or purchasing one made from human hair to embracing the pretty headscarf or attractive hat approach.
You can talk to your doctor about options for trying to prevent hair loss from chemotherapy, but most yield mixed results at best. In fact, one, scalp cooling, is not advisable for people with blood-related cancers such as Hodgkin lymphoma.
Wigs, Scarves, and Other Head Covers for People On Chemo
Also related to the effects of chemo on bone marrow is a condition called thrombocytopenia in which there are a decreased number of platelets in the blood. Symptoms include easy bruising or red spots on the skin, joint and muscle pain, external bleeding (from the nose, for example, or gums when you brush your teeth). In rare cases, internal bleeding can occur.
Aside from a few medical approaches to treating thrombocytopenia (your doctor's call), it may be helpful to eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin B12, folate, and iron—nutrients important to the production of healthy platelets. Note that it's best to boost nutrients with foods, as some supplements may interfere with the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
Lowered Immunity
Chemotherapy increases the risk of infection by lowering the white blood cell count, and so it's important to take whatever measures you can to keep from getting sick:
Steer clear of crowds.
Stay away from friends and family who are sick (they will understand that you need to keep your distance until they're well again).
Don't use other people's toothbrushes, eating utensils, drinkware, or makeup.
Eat only well-done meat and fish (take a sushi break), and even eggs (no runny yolks).
Inspect fruits and vegetables for signs of spoiling and wash produce thoroughly.
Don't eat honey (it can contain the bacterium that causes botulism).
Use separate cutting boards for raw protein and vegetables.
Skip the buffet and salad bar at restaurants.
Don't eat moldy cheeses, such as Stilton and blue, or even brie.
Be careful around pets: Have someone else scoop the litter box or pick up dog poop.
Use an electric shaver rather than a razor to lower the risk of a nick.
Take a bath or shower every day.
Use a soft toothbrush.
Use disposable gloves to protect yourself from exposure to potential pathogens, such as when wiping your toddler's runny nose.
Wash your hands often and well.
Radiation Dermatitis
Radiation is sometimes used after chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. Among the most common side effects is a constellation of skin symptoms similar to those of overexposure to the sun, such as redness, itchiness, and dryness known as radiation dermatitis.
Usually skin heals rapidly once treatment is complete, although affected areas may remain slightly discolored (like a suntan). Until then, there are simple ways to deal with the discomfort:
Bathe or shower in lukewarm water.
Don't use a heating pad on the area.
Don't use scented soaps, perfumes, lotions, deodorants, cosmetics, or creams on the treated area unless approved by your doctor.
Wear loose clothing around the treatment area to prevent irritation from fabric rubbing against your skin.
Stay out of the sun (and certainly, don't go to a tanning salon)— even after radiation therapy has ended.
Try not to scratch, no matter how itchy your skin is.
If you're really uncomfortable, tell your doctor, who may be able to prescribe an ointment or cream to reduce discomfort.
Do not apply any cream or other topical products to your skin two hours before or two hours after a radiation treatment (unless directed to do so by your doctor), as this may interfere with the amount of radiation that enters your body.
Radiation Pneumonitis
With radiation to the chest, inflammation of the lungs, radiation pneumonitis, is fairly common. Thankfully, this side effect is relatively easy to treat. Make sure you let your doctor know if you notice a cough or shortness of breath, as untreated radiation pneumonitis can lead to permanent pulmonary fibrosis without treatment. Radiation to the abdomen may cause nausea, and usually results in permanent infertility as well.
Impaired Fertility
Chemotherapy can damage or even destroy reproductive structures, which can affect fertility in both men and women as well as increase the risk of fetal anomalies if pregnancy is achieved.
As devastating as this prospect can be, with pre-treatment planning the reproductive side effects of chemo can be overcome. For men, the best option is to freeze healthy sperm (cryopreservation). Although a bit more complicated, women can freeze embryos. Freezing eggs is a less established technology, but may work in some cases.
A fertility specialist or perinatologist (a doctor who specializes in caring for women who have had cancer) can help you understand your options and alleviate your anxiety.
How Hodgkin Lymphoma Affects Fertility
Most people with cancer have family and friends who want to help, but receiving that help can be difficult. Some common reasons:
You usually like to do things for yourself.
You don't want to be a burden.
Your family and friends are busy with their own lives.
You don't want to feel indebted.
You don't want to give up the control that comes with being able to handle everything yourself.
If any of these ring true for you, it may help to remember that you wouldn't hesitate to offer assistance or support to a friend or loved one who's coping with cancer. Keeping this in mind may ease any guilt you may be feeling by leaning on those who want to be there for you.
Support groups offer the opportunity to interact with a community of people facing the same challenges you are. Your oncologist or cancer treatment center may be able to connect you with a local group specifically for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or one whose members are at the same stage of cancer as you are (newly-diagnosed, for example).
Online communities and other resources can provide support as well. For example, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has a well-established online support group as well as a peer-to-peer program that matches new patients with trained volunteers who have been through the ordeal of having lymphoma.
From the day you're diagnosed until well after you've finished treatment but are still visiting your doctor regularly for follow-up exams, Hodgkin lymphoma will have a tangible impact on your finances, work, and daily life.
Even with the most comprehensive health insurance plan, having cancer can drain your resources. The first thing you should do after being diagnosed is review your policy (or have a trusted friend or loved one do it) to make sure you understand vital details such as what procedures and treatments will be covered, to what extent, and if you'll need prior authorization.
If even with insurance, you'll need help to pay for your care. If you do not have health insurance, at least some degree of financial support may be available to you from other sources. The cancer center where you're receiving care should be able to point you toward viable options.
You might also be able to obtain financial assistance through a blood-cancer charity and organization. For example, both the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the LLS have grants and programs to help lymphoma patients with expenses related to treatment.
If you and your doctor feel you'll be able to continue work during treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma, talk to your employer about any accommodations you may need. For example, chemotherapy can be exhausting and so you may benefit from a shorter workday.
Some workplaces are required by state or federal law to allow employees going through treatment for a major medical condition to work a flexible schedule. Check with your state's Department of Labor for specifics.
Other sources of information include the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
If you find you need help with day-to-day matters such as meals or transportation to doctor appointments beyond what your family and friends are able to provide, ask your cancer center to direct you to local organizations that provide this type of help.
You might also check with CancerCare, a national organization that provides free, professional assistance to cancer patients. On its website you'll find a Helping Hand feature that allows you to search for specific types of assistance based on cancer type and zip code.
CancerCare also is an excellent source of specific information about lymphoma, financial assistance, and more.
Hodgkin lymphoma is rare and highly curable. Besides getting through the impact of being diagnosed and undergoing treatment, it's important to look forward to life after the experience—a period of time often referred to as survivorship. Many oncologists and cancer treatment centers offer cancer rehabilitation programs designed to help people have a positive "new normal' when treatment is done and to prepare them, for example, for the possibility of secondary cancers or even heart disease related to cancer treatments. Talk to your oncologist and as well as others who have survived Hodgkin lymphoma about navigating your own post-treatment life.

Ali Kosh (również Ali Kusz, Ali Kosz) – stanowisko archeologiczne, osada (tell) na przedpolu gór Zagros w Iranie, w północnej części równiny Chuzestanu.

Stanowisko to pełni kluczową rolę dla poznania sekwencji neolitu zachodnioirańskiego. Zostało odsłonięte i przebadane w latach 60. XX wieku przez Franka Hole'a i Kenta Flannery'ego. Najniższe warstwy, odpowiadające fazie neolitu preceramicznego, datowane są na 9600–8000 lat temu. Charakteryzują się budowlami mieszkalnymi wznoszonymi z glinianych bloków, składającymi się z wielu przylegających do siebie prostokątnych pomieszczeń, wyposażonych w paleniska i jamy zasobowe. Stosowano kamienie żarnowe, wyrabiano paciorki kamienne, ostrza kościane, mikrolity obsydianowe oraz terakotowe figurki przedstawiające postaci ludzkie i zwierzęce. Ślady wskazują na początki uprawy zbóż (jęczmień i pszenica) i hodowli zwierząt (kozy i owce). W górnych, młodszych warstwach stanowiska pojawiają się wyroby z miedzi, a także malowana ceramika zdobiona ornamentami geometrycznymi. Następuje także wzrost roli rolnictwa i pasterstwa w miejsce polowań i rybołówstwa. Osada została opuszczona w połowie VI tysiąclecia p.n.e.
