Al-Hawl camp crisis | SOHR renews call to evacuate Syrian families from Al-Hawl camp and rehabilitate them after the conclusion of second phase of the security operation
SOHR renews its appeal to the international community to find an immediate and lasting solution for Al-Hawl camp's crisis and urges putting a serious plan for rehabilitating the camp's children and women
The Internal Security Forces "Asayish" completed the second phase of Operation Humanitarian and Security in Al-Hawl camp, south-east of Al-Hasakah, which started on August 25 with the support of the Syrian Democratic Forces and the International Coalition forces, with the aim of pursuing and eliminating ISIS cells in Al-Hawl camp.
The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) released a final statement regarding the completion of the second phase of Operation Humanity and Security in Al-Hawl camp that lasted for 24 days.
According to a statement obtained by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which states:
"The operation was launched following the increasing crimes of killing and torture committed by ISIS cells against the camp residents who refused to join or support the terrorism of ISIS, so the terrorist cells sentenced them to death, spread terror and intimidation among them, forcing them to choose between joining ISIS cells or be brutally tortured to death. These crimes amount to crimes against humanity and have claimed, only this year, the lives of 44 camp residents and humanitarian workers. ISIS cells, especially women, cast many camp women and their children as apostates, putting them on the execution list, pressuring and extorting them, and forcing them to pledge allegiance to ISIS or be forcibly evicted from their camp, leaving them homeless."
"We announce the end of the second phase of Operation Humanity & Security in the al-Hol camp, and our forces will continue to hunt down the potential cells, confronting dangers by conducting regular security operations when necessary.
The following is the outcome of the ISIS arrestees and their weapons confiscated inside the camp:
• The arrestees: 226 arrestees, including 36 extremist women involved in murder and terrorism offences.
• 25 tunnels and trenches were uncovered.
• Several types of weapons, including pistols, bombs, cold weapons, telecommunications equipment and military clothing were confiscated."
Since early 2022, SOHR documented 28 murders in Al-Hawl camp, which left 30 people dead:
• Eight Iraqi refugees, including two women.
• 12 Syrian people, including eight women.
• Eight unidentified women.
• A medic was killed in the post where he worked in the camp.
• An unidentified man.
With the end of the second phase of Asayish operation, we, at the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), renew our appeal to the international community to find a lasting solution to "Al-Hawl mini-state" crisis, which is considered a clear and present danger to everyone. We also urge international human rights organisations to put an immediate and serious plan for rehabilitating women and children in the camp, who were saturated with ISIS ideology, especially with a large number of children and the widespread presence of the group cells in the camp that continue to impart their poisonous ideas to the residents of the camp, particularly women and children.
We would like to bring to mind the fact that these children are living with some extremist and hard-liner mothers and women, so we stress the importance to repatriate foreign citizens from Al-Hawl camp and call upon all relevant authorities not to abandon their responsibilities.

Satchel's gives local firefighters free food Sunday
By Catherine Dickson
December 11, 2016 | 4:03pm EST
A fireman stands in the frame of what was Lightning Salvage, shop at the back of Satchel's Pizza.
Less than a week after a fire destroyed the gift shop and bar at Satchel's Pizza, the restaurant's owner thanked the firefighters who helped save the rest of his business Sunday.
Throughout the day, firefighters were walking into Satchel Raye's restaurant for free food, drinks and desserts, an idea Raye's wife gave him to give back to the local community.
Raye reached out to Gainesville Fire Rescue and the Alachua County Fire Rescue Services to spread the word.
"They work so hard, and they have to go into buildings that are burning up, it's really an amazing skill set to have," he said. "The only reason we're open right now is because of what they were able to do."
More than 30 firefighters attended, some of whom helped put out Monday's fire, Satchel's manager Wade McMullen said. Some firefighters stayed to eat, and others took pizza back to their stations to share.
"We're just glad to give back to them in any way we could," he said. "Food is the way we can give back."
Three firefighters sat outside near Satchel's iconic gutted van, which doubles as a table. Joe Walker, John Kalaf and Scott Robinson ordered pizza, soda and dessert and said they were appreciative of Raye's generosity.
"It's great that he recognizes the work we do and his willingness to reach out," Robinson said. "It's a good feeling."
Kalaf and Robinson were on the first fire truck that arrived at Satchel's on Monday night. Robinson said he could see the flames from the intersection of Northeast Waldo Road and Northeast 23rd Avenue.
"We could see the flames over the tree line, so we knew right away it was going to be a big fire," Robinson said.
Despite spending more than five hours at the restaurant the night of the fire, Kalaf and Robinson still answered five more emergency calls before 8 a.m. Tuesday, Kalaf said.
"We didn't sleep at all that evening," Kalaf said.
Raye said the only reason his restaurant is still open and his employees have jobs is because the Gainesville firefighters did their job and did it well.
"Giving them free food today is nothing," Raye said. "It's the least we can do."

Mabuyane warns ANC provincial executive against another 'festival of chairs' at next conference

As the ANC in Eastern Cape prepares for its elective congress, its chairperson, Oscar Mabuyane, has called on provincial leaders to accept the outcomes of the conference.
Mabuyane, who is poised to be reelected as the party chair, was speaking during a special provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting on Monday.
In his opening remarks, Mabuyane said members of the PEC must rally behind the decision of the elective congress "however aggrieved we may be about a decision that has been taken". He added that provincial leaders must use internal organisational platforms to express dissatisfaction with decisions.
"What is not an option for members of the PEC is to go outside ANC structures and platforms and express our sentiments in a manner that undermines the decision that has been taken and the collective that has taken the decision," he said.
"When we violate organisational principles, we are acting in a manner that violates the ANC constitution and the solemn declaration we made upon being accepted as members of this gigantic national liberation movement. In such instances, the organisation will have no option than to act."
In September 2017, the province held its 8th elective conference, dubbed the festival of chairs, where Mabuyane emerged as party chair. The conference descended into chaos when factions in the delegation of party members used chairs as weapons against one another, injuring many.
The result of the conference was highly debated in the party and the then president and deputy president, Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, deferred on whether the national executive committee (NEC) should accept the outcomes.
This led to court challenges against Mabuyane's election.
The NEC also held its own investigation, led by KwaZulu-Natal heavyweight Sbu Ndebele. He found that failure to finalise and resolve the acceptance of credentials, ensuring the correct representatives of branches at the conference was a material failure and detracted from a free and fair election.
Ndebele's report largely vindicated the demand by supporters of the then provincial chair, Phumullo Masualle, that the conference should not have gone ahead after the violence during the presentation of credentials.
In his statement on Monday, Mabuyane said the province must go into its conferences with the aim of emerging with a stronger, united and coherent ANC that is an instrument for transformation in the hands of the people.
He said the PEC has a responsibility to ensure it delivers credible conferences that are characterised by maximum unity and cohesion.
"PEC members of the ANC are expected to carry out themselves in a manner that is consistent with the discipline of the organisation, particularly at this level. We cannot explain the importance of preserving the principle of collective leadership to branches and do the same exercise to members of the PEC."
The Eastern Cape is expected to hold several regional conferences early next year. The one to watch is the OR Tambo regional conference, which will be the litmus test on whether Mabuyane and, by extension, Ramaphosa's faction will emerge as the favourites in the provincial conference scheduled for early next year.
A win for the Mabuyane faction in the region will also mean that ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe has a good chance of lobbying support to become the next deputy president.
The Mabuyane faction has already received a win because its proposed regional chair, Mesuli Ngqondwana, was elected as mayor of the OR Tambo district municipality last week.
The Mabuyane-led PEC is facing tension with its former allies in the OR Tambo region after the five-year suspension of municipality speaker Xolile Nkompela and deputy mayor Robert Nogumla was overturned by the national disciplinary committee.
Kompela, who once lobbied for Mabuyane against the then chair, Masualle, is also said to have changed alliances and now favours Babalo Madikizela as chair. Hopes of those in the coalition of the wounded in the province are said to be resting with Madikizela, who they hope can topple or shake up Mabuyane's firm grasp in the regions and on the PEC.
The OR Tambo region is the second biggest ANC region after eThekwini in KwaZulu-Natal and arguably one of the most influential regions of the ANC. It was central to the failed attempt at a third term by former president Thabo Mbeki. The region voted instead for Zuma at the watershed Polokwane conference.
Mabuyane has indicated that he will run for a second term.
Mabuyane leads one of the ANC's biggest provinces after KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo. Winning over ANC delegates and branches when the party heads to its 55th national conference next year — alongside other Ramaphosa allies such as the ANC's KwaZulu-Natal's secretary, Mdumiseni Ntuli, and the party's Limpopo secretary, Soviet Lekganyane — will guarantee Ramaphosa a second term in office.

Meet Magdalena Nandege Lokoro
My name is Magdalena Nandege Lokoro.
I was born in 1994 and I am from South Sudan. I come from Homiri, a village in Kapoeta state, in Chukudum county. It has population of approximately 153,314 people, most of them agro-pastoralists, like my mother, who is a farmer.
I graduated in 2019 from the Torit Health Science Institute, and I am now a qualified registered midwife. I chose this career because I believe it is important to take care of women. Women are the most vulnerable people in the world because they carry life.
Being a peacemaker gives me the confidence to engage others with courage and openness and work with them to build peaceful coexistence
MAGDALENA'S STORY AND THE WORLD
An internally displaced young woman
4 million people displaced by conflict and violence in South Sudan since 2013
A peacemaker
486 young peacemakers trained and supported by WPDI
A builder of hope
800 community dialogues by WPDI youth to promote peaceful co-existence
This belief also led me to enroll in the Youth Peacemaker Network (YPN) of the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative (WPDI). I joined them in 2014 after hearing about it from the Eastern Equatoria Youth Union, of which I was secretary for gender and social welfare.
Through this program, I have acquired skills to promote peace in a holistic way that starts with inner peace, continues with living at peace with others and peaks with helping others reach peace among themselves. This is the path that I have undertaken as I became a WPDI peacemakers – through their trainings in conflict management, mediation, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), meditation and entrepreneurship, I have learned things that I did not know and that have changed my very understanding of the world. Learning to address conflict and promote peace and development has been a transformative experience. Becoming a certified peacemaker has opened new possibilities for me. I have trained dozens of young people from the villages of my county so that they could work with me to develop beneficial and positive activities in our communities. This create an interest in the community. At some point, the State Governor requested me to train civil servants and commissionners on conflict resolution. Being trusted to transmit what I learned with WPDI to other people in my community was a unique experience. I felt empowered – especially as a woman.
With my group of youth, we have created a farming business that brings affordable food to the community and seasonal jobs for young people in the area. This has had a tangible impact on the community. Everyone was pleased to notice that less young men leave their villages to join armed groups or that some of them use their stipends to go back to school.
Bringing peace is highly rewarding. I felt that recently as I helped to initiate a reconciliation process among the Didinga and Logir clans in Kidepo Valley county. The two had long been engaged in what everyone thought to be an intractable conflict. However, over several weeks of discussions and negotiations in March and April 2019, they agreed to end hostilities and make effort to live together in peace. Engineering this process has been one of the most difficult task I have undertaken in my life. I had to mobilize everything I learned from WPDI. I felt so happy that these people could eventually talk to each other, talk about their grievances and their pains. This has been a journey for everyone. For me, working with WPDI is clearly a very personal journey.

"A diverse country at the tip of the continent"
Welcome to the gateway of Africa! South Africa will capture your heart with its sensational scenery, exotic wildlife, colourful culture and all of its natural splendour (which is boundless!). A country like no other, that will leave even the most seasoned traveller inspired.
As the name suggests, South Africa is located at the southern end of the world's most epic continent, Africa. Filled with unique landscapes, awe-inspiring scenery and huge biodiversity it is easy to understand why it has become a popular tourist destination. This colourful country is often referred to as the "Rainbow Nation" because of the diversity of its people and what it has to offer, including wildlife, breathtaking coastlines, an interesting history and a variety of cultures.
South Africa blends the old with the new, with wild and remote areas that are renowned for exceptional game viewing, as well as modern cities that have world-class facilities and a complex, rich history.
Although there is a great deal to see in South Africa, safariFRANK, in line with its "we're for wild" philosophy, only focuses on a few select areas that we feel are still truly wild, showcasing the REAL AFRICA… And for those who have heard of the legendary Southern Cape, we also include awesome tours of Cape Town and all that area has to offer!
South Africa has an overwhelming amount to offer and choosing where to go can be a real challenge. We feel that since you have travelled so far to see Africa you need to experience the "REAL AFRICA". We have carefully selected only two wildlife areas that offer value for money and truly showcase the offerings of this beautiful continent. These are the private reserves in the central Greater Kruger National Park (GKNP) and the Makuleke Concession inside the northern Kruger Park. Both are very different but equally beautiful and special. The GKNP provides fantastic viewings of the BIG5 in the wild (no fences) and Makuleke is primarily concerned with the beautiful landscapes, wildlife and birds, birds and more BIRDS!
It's difficult to forget about Cape Town! The beautiful city is a must-see. It's the perfect way to end your holiday (perhaps with a glass or two of wine in the vineyards of Stellenbosch).
Authentic African experience with heaps of adventure.
South Africa is generally mild throughout the year with many clear, sunny days. Overall it is a dry country with average annual rainfall of around 500mm. Days are warm to hot and nights can be quite cold. Deciding when to go will depend on personal interests and preferences.
Summer is peak season in South Africa and for good reason, as the country is green and full of new life. It is a good time for travelling for photographers, as there is great light, colour and vivid subject matter. It is also the time to go if you have an interest in birds as all the migrants are present with beautiful breeding plumage and calls. Summer temperatures can soar into 40 degrees (Celsius) in the "bushveld" and brings frequent and heavy thunderstorms. If you plan to travel during this time make sure to book well in advance as it can get busy.
Winter is low season and therefore a great time to get a better deal and avoid crowds. Also on offer is optimal game viewing, as there is less water around, which naturally concentrates the animals around established waterholes. Winter days are beautiful and warm ; however, the nights and early mornings can be very cold making game drives in an open game-viewing vehicle an experience!
Read more about best seasons to travel to different regions in Africa.
If possible avoid the Easter break and school holidays, as there are more travellers around and prices are often inflated. A great time to visit South Africa is in-between seasons (April/May and September/October), the spring and autumn weather is beautiful and it is still optimal for wildlife viewing.
Contact safariFRANK and let us show you how each Safari Component can be linked up to create your ultimate safari. Let us help you get started on the journey of a lifetime.

Dalli reiterated that innovation is the key for Malta to continue sustaining its economic rhythm and attract future industries.
"Innovation is the key for future economies. Additionally, for a long time, crafts and trade were sidelined but innovation plays a role here too to revitalise them. The global economy is becoming more innovative and it is the responsibility of our country to be at the forefront of that innovation," the MEP said.
Dalli explained how innovation applies to a wide range of sectors, from sensors to machinery, to energy and smart grids, 3D printing, blockchain and more. Referring to discoveries made by Maltese developers and researchers, Miriam Dalli said that the talent in Malta needed to be encouraged and sustained.
She went on to propose five priority areas that would foster innovation, research and development growth in Malta and Gozo. These are: (i) increased investment in research and development, (ii)access to funds, (iii) educational programs, (iv)increased collaboration between researchers and (v)partnerships between universities and educational institutions, the private and public sectors - both at local level and even at European level.
Miriam Dalli explained how EU funds such as Horizon Europe help finance research and innovation projects, benefitting innovators who have concrete ideas, prototypes or developed projects seeking to enter the market.
"Thanks to the work done by the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, this fund is also aiming specifically at SMEs," Dalli said, who was among the MEPs in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy pushing for this.
Participating in this activity was also entrepreneur and fintech experts, Dr. Abdalla Kablan. He described Miriam Dalli as a politician who does not shy away from going against the current, be it in health, to combat discrimination or through the legislation she piloted to reduce CO2 emissions from cars.


We understand the need for absolute verification that your measurements be as accurate as possible. To ensure accuracy, sound engineering practice requires that you keep your instruments properly maintained and calibrated. It is penny-wise and pound foolish to allow your instrument to lapse in calibration. Oftentimes an "out-of-cal" analyzer can be more costly than one that is out of commission, since it can lead an operator to mistakenly assume his or her measurement results are valid.
Your investment in your instrument is substantial - protect that investment by returning your analyzer to the factory at least once a year for cleaning, calibration, and inspection. Our thorough factory inspection process can reveal hidden problems or failing components that may be easily repaired before they lead to a potentially catastrophic failure.
Machine not working? Cognitive Vision provides depot level repair services for all of our current and legacy products (below is a partial list of the instruments we maintain). If you do not see your machine listed, ask us anyway - there is a good chance we will be able to repair your instrument, and return it to you in tip-top operating condition. No detail is overlooked because the same engineers and technicians that build our systems also perform the calibration and repair.
Has it been more than a year since your machine was last calibrated? Unsure when your machine was last returned to the factory? Protect your investment by giving us a call today - we are here to help! Our number is 619-781-8240.
Below is a brief list of some of the legacy products for which we provide calibration and repairs.

Moktar is an Arabian man who is lost in the big city. You must bring him back to the Arab world. The game is a platform game, essentially the same as Titus the Fox, with a different main character.
A decent platform game that's identical to Titus' earlier The Fox: From Here for Marakech, except that you are now controlling Moktar, a plump Arabian adventurer similar to Nintendo's popular Mario. Nothing is wrong with the game-- it just feels like a rehash of many different platform games that's been done before, and better.

A court in Upper Egypt has sentenced journalist Bishoy Armia to five years in prison and a fine of LE500 for inciting sectarian strife, Al-Ahram's Arabic news website reported on Monday.
Al-Ahram said the defendant – originally named Mohamed Hegazy El-Sayed – was also sentenced for "depicting Christians as suffering from sectarian oppression" and reporting the "misinformation" to a US-based television channel called The Road.
Armia was arrested in Upper Egypt's Minya in December after clashes between Muslims and Christians in the city following a controversial relationship between a Muslim girl and a Christian.
The 32-year-old journalist made headlines in 2008 when he lobbied to have his religion changed on his national identification card from Islam to Christianity, after converting and subsequently changing his name from Mohamed Hegazy to Bishoy Armia.
where is freedom of thought/thinking?
He that malighns Islam is not really interested in freedom and liberty, he is spewing hatred.
bJust a kind reminder, this is the same judiciary, same regime, same CC to whom we provided our shoulders to bring him into presidential palace.This is the same constitution when passed we were clapping and celebrating.This is the same judiciary when they were sending islamists we are clapping and praising them for their Justice.So why now craying...? Why our Pope and charuch are criminaly silent..?

The shaving scuttle mugs, ikebana vases and butter dishes from Georgetown Pottery travel less than 30 miles from a studio on a Maine island to the showroom in Freeport. The journey for Maine Woolen's woven blankets is even more brief, a 10-mile jaunt from the Brunswick mill to the Main Street shop. At Wilbur's of Maine Chocolate Confections, you can lob a maple maltball from the factory floor to the retail area without straining your arm. If this were a race, the Vietnam-made pajamas from J. Crew Factory would lose to Team Maine by almost 8,000 miles.
Play the free association game with "Freeport" and you will most likely blurt out "Outlets." The southern Maine town (population: about 7,800) is known for discount shopping at more than 170 national and international stores. The only connection the chains have to Maine is their street address. But the retail topography is changing. "Made in Maine" signs appear in shop windows, and labels on handmade goods proudly hail their place of birth. Employees eagerly explain the origin stories of the companies and demonstrate, through props, videos or simple instruction, the craftsmanship of their products.
"The local movement is definitely catching on," said Jim Cram, executive director of the Freeport Historical Society.
The town has dabbled in many careers over the centuries, including shipbuilding, fishing, canning and shoemaking. Its most famous boot guy is Leon Leonwood Bean (long for L.L.Bean), but the outdoorsman who disdained cold, wet feet wasn't the first visionary to sow his dreams in Freeport's soil.
"The outlets piggybacked on L.L., and he piggybacked on E.B. Mallet," said Holly Hurd, the historical society's collections manager and curator.
In the mid-1800s, Mallet poured a sizable inheritance into the development of Freeport, which benefited from the railroad and the nearby Harraseeket River. He invested in coal and steam power, and built one shoe factory and then another.
L.L.Bean overlapped with Mallet. In 1912, he introduced the Maine Hunting Shoe, which he sold from the basement of his brother's apparel shop. Today, the Beanopolis in the town center comprises the 200,000-square-foot flagship store plus separate buildings for its home goods; hunting and fishing gear; bike, boat and ski toys; and outlet.
In 1951, the company introduced a 24/7/365 schedule and has closed only a handful of times — when President Kennedy was assassinated, Bean died and a fire broke out in the 1980s.
The outlets rose from those ashes. The small inferno destroyed Leighton's Department Store; Dansk moved in. More chains arrived. But over the years, new buds have started to blossom: the homegrown retailers.
In late November, I borrowed some of that Maine grit as I strolled along Main Street, a blocks-long run of national and local stores. I ducked into Brahms Mount, which uses antique shuttle looms to construct its blankets, throws and towels. A video transports viewers to the Monmouth mill 30 miles north of Freeport.
Suzanne Lauzier, a store manager, guided me around the store, practically a Dwell magazine spread with warmly dressed beds and artfully cluttered tabletops. I followed her to a hanging rack of blankets. Pulling one down, she described the signature markings of a Brahms Mount: closed selvage (banded hems), a herringbone pattern, hand-twisted fringe that falls like Komondor locks. The blankets come in more than 20 colors, including seven shades of blue that cover all of the moods of the Maine sea and sky. The eco-minded manufacturer also crafts smaller pillows out of leftover material and stuffs them with balsam, which "makes you think of Maine," she said.
Across the street, Maine Woolens names its blankets after Pine Tree State towns (Belfast, Rockport, Harmony) and landscape features (Seacoast, Sugarloaf, Rangeley). Many of the patterns have backstories, too. The stars in the Galaxy blanket were inspired by a 19th-century item discovered at a flea market in Scarborough, Maine; the Bedford's hucklace weave pays homage to New England whalers, who could bring limited personal items on the long sojourns. If only we could send blankets back in time.
At Georgetown Pottery, I stepped into a quintessential Maine scene without having to brave the cold ocean spray. Brush-painted renderings of blueberries, birch trees, lighthouses and sailboats adorned the porcelain works. I held a vase up to my ear and listened for the crashing waves.
The company was started by Jeff Peters, a Californian who embarked on a cross-country road trip in the 1970s and bailed on the adventure — and college — once he reached Maine. The ceramics student glazed and fired pots in a one-room log cabin in Georgetown. About 80 percent of the objects at the Freeport store are made by potters at the studio. The remaining items showcase other Maine artists, such as Sarah's Sand Dollars' colored pendants. The lobsterwoman discovered her second trade after accidentally spilling red wine on the sea urchin. Art was borne out of clumsiness.
Quick quiz: What is Maine's official state treat? If you guessed wild blueberry pie, you are wrong. That is the state dessert, which just happens to be made with the state berry.
Bow Street Market sells both official edibles (try the baked good from Two Fat Cats Bakery) plus the state treat, the whoopie pie. Wicked Whoopies is the big whoop in town and offers pies in a rainbow of flavors at its Main Street location.
Tourmaline was the first gem to be excavated by modern-day miners in America; the original dig took place in 1820, on Mount Mica in Paris, Maine. In 1972, three men unearthed the largest tourmaline find in North America, on Plumbago Mountain in Newry, Maine. The main chamber of the Dunton Quarry contained 1,700 pounds of tourmaline. (The National Museum of Natural History owns one of the treasures, the 10-inch Jolly Green Giant.) Six years later, the government pronounced tourmaline its state gem.
"Tourmaline is much rarer than diamonds," said Annette Evans, who owns and operates R.D. Allen Freeport Jewelers with her husband, Mark. Tourmaline moves nimbly along the color spectrum, from translucent to coal black. The store devotes several display cases to a pink and green combo that resembles a slice of watermelon.
The store features about 20 Maine artists who often keep the New England environment in mind. For example, rings with a low bezel or twin prong setting easily clear gloves and mittens. The ultimate fashion test: "You can wear these with your L.L.Bean clothes," she said.
Wilbur's advances the theory that everything tastes better drenched in chocolate. The company coats blueberries, cashews and even the state animal. Schoolteachers Tom and Catherine Wilbur created Wilbur the Moose in their basement during a summer break in the 1980s. The animal pop on a stick has milk chocolate antlers and nose, and peanut butter fur. The couple later introduced a chocolate hunting boot, an ode to its neighbor, and a chocolate lobster, which the government crowned as the state crustacean in April.
If Sea Bags could talk, they would regale us with maritime stories as riveting as Patrick O'Brian sagas. All of the items — duffels, totes, envelope clutches, log carriers, wristlets, diaper bags — are made out of used sailcloth. The Portland company has reclaimed more than 500 tons of sails since 1999 and, over the past two years, has salvaged more than 10,000 sails destined for the landfill.
As a sailor, the navy blue anchor spoke to me, but my allegiance to my upbringing was tested by the cute critters, including a fox, a bear, a black Labrador and a lobster claw between snaps. But then I found a more fitting souvenir: a tote with the state outline. I could decide where on Maine to affix a big heart.
The 84-room luxury inn, which is walking distance from the shops, supports local manufacturers and farmers. Its two restaurants prepare regional cuisine, including a lobster Sunday brunch. Some rooms come with fireplaces. Rates start at $158 and include a full buffet breakfast and afternoon tea when booked through the inn.
The restaurant is owned by Linda Bean, a granddaughter of L.L. Her menu features family favorites, including some of her grandfather's camp specialties, plus lots of lobster and seafood. Sandwiches from $8; main courses from $12.


The chapter this time is more late then I had expected. Actually, I was ill for last ten days so I couldn't do anything because of weakness. As for the schedule, I will provide it to you by this monday. On a side note, you can experience some change in the quality as my original editor had some work so I had to take the help of a friend.
Before anyone could say anything, Yang Chen had already pacified the situation with the Da Cheng stage, old tree demon? Moreover, what did he just say? Requesting Yang Chen at the time of his ascension?
Although Yang Chen had given a Heaven Seizing Pill to Wang Yong, this kind of a thing could only be found accidentally, not sought at will. How could he possibly have so many things that could be given away as gifts? Moreover, Yang Chen was but a foundation-stage expert, and the old tree demon actually wanted to rely on him to ascend? Naturally, this could scare anyone.
Although Yang Chen had defied their limits again and again, when a genuine Da Cheng stage expert asked so earnestly for help, they were still a bit intimidated.
In the end, what had Yang Chen shown Gui Shanyou that made the Da Cheng expert feel so confident that Yang Chen could help him in ascending? Although both of them were curious, they didn't investigate closely. This disciple, Yang Chen, had so many secrets that sometimes it was just better not to know.
Palace Master Zhang Jiao had relatively too many matters at his hands. Only after he had sent off all the visitors did he hurry over here to the old tree demon's place and saw this peaceful scene.
Hearing this, the Palace Master heaved a long sigh of relief. They had coaxed a Da Cheng stage expert to join with such great difficulty. If because of this guess, their Eccentric Hall's experts felt doubt towards Pure Yang Palace, that would indeed not be good. So currently, hearing such words from the old tree demon had calmed down Palace Master Zhang Jiao's heart.
Looking at Yang Chen, Gao Yue and Wang Yong present on the scene, Palace Master didn't have to ask a word to know that this surely had some connection with Yang Chen. Although he didn't know what Yang Chen had said to old tree demon, the trust crisis had evidently been solved.
This opportunity had not only allowed Cheng Wencai to honor the commitment, but had also peacefully averted a hidden crises. Now all those visitors had clearly realized that either they could obtain the pill recipe in a fair exchange or they could hire Yang Chen to refine it. Otherwise, obtaining a complete pill recipe was almost impossible.
Excluding the other factors, even Pure Yang Palace wouldn't have consented in the first place. It was a secret recipe of the sect. Why should other people be able to obtain it? If those people really wanted to use some inappropriate means today, then becoming hostile with Pure Yang Palace couldn't have been avoided. Fortunately, Yang Chen had dealt with it appropriately which had saved any such thing from happening. If it had truly become the issue of their face, today, Pure Yang Palace would have been filled with corpses.
As for Yang Chen, he had only helped in restoring the pill spirit, which didn't amount to much. However, in exchange for that, he could obtain even more flames, which would be a great benefit for him. After all, apart from increasing the grade of a Profound Spirit Furnace, Yang Chen was also a fire-attributed cultivator. The more flames he could access, the more he would benefit.
Currently, Yang Chen had three kind of flames; the Nanming fire left behind by Scarface, the Real Sun Fire which had already been absorbed by Profound Spirit Furnace, as well as the Pure Yang Fire which was greatly treasured by the sect. However, regardless of whatever type of flame it was, Yang Chen could not absorb any of them presently.
However, this had also reminded Yang Chen that although he couldn't absorb the Nanming Flame, the Profound Spirit Furnace could be promoted by one grade by absorbing it. Moreover, it was also the perfect place to safeguard the Nan Ching fire.
The flying sword, which was to be refined by Gao Yue, was already at the last stage. After hearing this, Wang Yong personally went there and refined it together with Gao Yue. Both master and disciple thought for a long time about his sword- trying to refine it so that it could become Yang Chen's destined flying sword. More than half of the good ingredients in possession of Yang Chen ended up being used in the process.
This flying sword had already become the topic of discussion among majority of people in the Pure Yang Palace. Many people envied Yang Chen's good fortune to have such a great tool refining master and great master, and himself being good at refining as well.
Many people also objected to this. Although for a foundation stage disciple, a flying sword needs to made diligently, there was no need for so much fanfare, but since this was a reward from the Palace Master, what could others have said?
Besides, neither Gao Yue, nor Wang Yong, nor Yang Chen cared for such people. A master was refining a flying sword for her own disciple, who could argue against that.
Since Wang Yong had also joined in, Yang Chen's flying sword would at most take a few more months. How could Yang Chen not be willing for this. In his heart, he was more than happy to stay at Nine Earth Manor. After giving pointers to outer disciples again, he finally decided to use this free time to store the Nan Ching fire in the Profound Spirit Furnace.
Nanming fire was on the same level as Real Sun Fire and was extremely formidable. Regardless of whether it was the Nanming fire flying sword or the Nanming fire armor, both were certainly tyrannical magical weapons. However, now the Nanming fire would also become a flame absorbed by Profound Spirit Furnace.
The process of absorption was slightly more complicated than that of Real Sun Fire. After all in his previous life, Yang Chen possessed the Real Sun Fire. As such, he was extremely familiar with its nature. However, in this life, he had come in contact with the Nanming Flame for the first time, so some caution was necessary.
The process was nevertheless quite similar to the previous one- controlling the Profound Spirit Furnace to refine and absorb Nanming flame's source trace by trace. Since it had already absorbed the Real Sun Fire, the Profound Spirit Furnace was more than ready to support the Nanming fire, which made Yang Chen's worries vanish into air like smoke.
Naturally, Yang Chen did not forget to use the Profound Green Metal Crystal to absorb the formidable strength of Nanming flame to allow the Profound Spirit Furnace to safely absorb the Nanming flame. Moreover, during the process, Yang Chen also used some tool refining tricks and some of the Profound Green Metal Crystal to clear some deficiencies within the Profound Spirit Furnace.
So far, one tenth of the Profound Green Metal Crystal had already been added to the Profound Spirit Furnace. This time, Yang Chen again added roughly another one tenth- the whole furnace seemed to have been filled up by the Profound Green Metal Crystal, revealing a hint of green colour. With just one look, anyone could tell that it was a high grade object.
After continuing for three months, all the traces of Nanming fire had finally been absorbed by Yang Chen into the Profound Spirit Furnace. This also implied that the Profound Spirit Furnace again had another famous flame, and thus, its grade had also increased substantially. At the same time, this also meant that Yang Chen could refine even higher grade pills now.
Naturally, this 'even higher grade pills' didn't mean that a third grade pill could be turned into a fourth grade pill, but those pills which Yang Chen couldn't refine previously because of his low strength and lack of flames could also be refined like the yin and yang nature pill, which could increase the probability of congealing dan in a foundation stage cultivator like the foundation stage pill was used by qi layer cultivators..
Perhaps, after some time, he could refine the yin and yang nature pill and convince even more people of Pure Yang Palace to come over to his side.
However, compared to refining pills, currently, Yang Chen was looking forward to two more matters more- first was Gao Yue and Wang Yong to refine his flying sword, second was to become the master of Nan Ching fire.
The Nanming fire was of the third fire attribute, same as the Real Sun Fire. Different flames could fuse with each other. Although Yang Chen presently hadn't genuinely absorbed the Nanming flame and Real Sun Fire in his own body, but if the third fire spirit power could be passed through burning by Nanming fire, maybe it will gain some presence of Nanming fire.
Yang Chen had also used this method with the Real Sun Fire. At that time, his third fire spirit power had increased rapidly, reaching the foundation stage as the consequence.
Presently, Yang Chen was at the foundation stage. Although it might not have the same effect, but tempering the spirit power will certainly be beneficial for him. Yang Chen had always been waiting for such a time, and thus, had not done this immediately after the great calamity of devil cultivation, waiting until he had properly consolidated his realm and was at the bottleneck to use it for breakthrough.
The third fire spirit power, which had already been tempered once by Real Sun Fire, would again be needed to be tempered through Nanming fire which would be extremely painful. Afterwards, the grade wouldn't further increase by much either. After all, the fire was still of the same grade. But there was another benefit which Yang Chen was eagerly expecting.
Since Real Sun Fire was able to form a false picture within the Spirit Sea, then the Nanming Fire should also be similarly able to form a false picture within the spirit sea, creating a golden coloured bright flame. Raging and occupying some corner on the surface formed of fifth earth, creating a triangle with the Real Sun Fire above and the Geocentric Fire underground.
The spiritual awareness which had declined during the pair cultivation with Gao Yue had again began to condense crazily at this moment, as if indicating another breakthrough. Even the spiritual sea began to give birth to some minute transformations in itself.
The spiritual awareness was greatly condensed but did not upgrade, causing slight disappointment to Yang Chen. However, the spirit power cultivation had also transformed, which gave him one more pleasant surprise.
After the third spirit power had been completely refined by Nanming flame, it broke through from second foundation and reached third foundation stage directly.
Because of the five phases engendering each other, the increase in cultivation of third spirit power had again spurred the other spirit powers to upgrade, like the last time when he had reached foundation stage. Apart from the second wood and third fire spirit powers, the other eight types of spirit power were just like dominoes, crazily upgrading because of the reaction from third fire spirit power.
While Yang Chen was laughing delightedly, the Yin and Yang five secrets had completely been upgraded from the second layer of foundation stage to the third layer of foundation stage, completely entering the third layer boundary.
Completing all this had already taken two months, which made Yang Chen anxious since the master and great master still hadn't completed the refining of the flying sword. This made Yang Chen both eager and nervous.
Eager that the pleasant scene from the previous life would appear again and nervous that because of his rebirth, there had been many changes, so the scene might not appear again. Thinking about this, he thought of the devil Lin Chenghe's death to comfort himself. He even had to choose only that particular tree where Yang Chen had inserted his sword to escape, so with such good fortune, the Bright Ray Sword will appear again, definitely!
Yang Chen anxious waiting for three more months before he finally couldn't deal with it anymore and flew directly to the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard.
After reaching the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard, Yang Chen grew even more nervous and walked slowly to Gao Yue's place and lightly knocked her door. Hearing the soft voice of master, allowing him to enter, he restlessly walked in.
Gao Yue was present alone, and great master Wang Yong had already left, possibly to refine the Qilin's horn into his destined flying sword. When Yang Chen came in, Gao Yue didn't stand up to welcome him, but remain seated by a stone table standing below a tree in her courtyard, drinking tea.
At this moment, Yang Chen did not know what to say, should he ask for the flying sword from his master? He wasn't able to hide the impatience in his face. Since he did not dare to say anything, his appearance became a little awkward, which happened very rarely.
Looking at Yang Chen's expression, Gao Yue was astonished, and at the same time, also found it quite funny. At this moment, Yang Chen seemed like a child who had never grown up.
Yang Chen didn't dare to deny or accept it, only kept on looking fervently at Gao Yue.
Gao Yue put down her tea cup and glanced at Yang Chen with a teasing smile and then grabbed her qiankun pouch and opened it.
Yang Chen's heart was gripped at this moment, feeling so nervous that he didn't dare say anything. Remembering all the memories, perhaps it would again happen before his eyes, perhaps it wouldn't.
A dark red flying sword appeared above Gao Yue's hand, Gao Yue only used two fingers to push the sword blade. It did a turnaround before rushing towards Yang Chen.
Master's beautiful voice seemed to coming down from heaven.
Yang Chen didn't care much about the appearance of the flying sword, at this moment, if Gao Yue had even given him a branch of tree, Yang Chen would still have accepted it like a treasure. After all, this flying sword had made his master go through a near death experience as well as costed her several years of refining process.
After saying this, he turned speechless.
Countless years of hope and expectation have again been fulfilled at this point. For this one moment, Yang Chen was ready to sacrifice any happiness in his life.
He wasn't even aware of which of the blade's sides had he caught. The edge of the flying sword had already created a huge cut in Yang Chen's hand through which the blood was flowing out. But Yang Chen seemed to have not sensed anything and kept holding the blade like a fool with tears streaking across his face.
He felt so delighted that tears appeared on his face.

DOH pushes strict compliance to health protocols amid reported detection of Vietnam Covid variant
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire
A Department of Health (DOH) official on Monday said that they are still awaiting for the "guidance" of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the need to impose restrictions on the entry of travelers from Vietnam amid the reported detection of a new Covid-19 mutation that reportedly combine variants first identified in India and the UK.
"The World Health Organization has not released the full details yet [regarding the new variant detected in Vietnam]. We are waiting for their guidance. As of now, there is no significant evidence yet," Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a mix of Filipino and English during Monday's online media forum with health reporters.
While there is still no "validated information" from WHO, the DOH official said that there is still no travel ban of travellers from Vietnam.
Vergeire also said that the public should not panic following the reported new variant.
"Alalahanin po natin, di po natin kailangan mag panic dahil po sa balitang ito. Pag -igtingin lang po natin ang ating [We should remember, there is no need to panic because of this news. We just need to strengthen our] health protocols and we will be protected from any of these variants," Vergeire stressed.
Vietnam's Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long was quoted in reports as saying, "We have discovered a new hybrid variant from the Indian and the UK strains." This variant is reportedly "easily transmissible by air."
In the country, data from DOH showed that the University of the Philippines (UP)-Philippine Genome Center (UP-PGC) and UP-National Institutes of Health have sequenced a total of 7,547 Covid-19-positive samples to detect the variants.
Of these, 2,494 have variants being closely monitored by DOH with only 26 cases remaining active.
Vergeire reiterated the need for strict adherence to minimum public health standards, and early detection and isolation of cases to minimize transmission of Covid-19 and further prevent the emergence of new variants.
DOH also encourages everyone to get vaccinated for added protection against the severe form of the disease.

Can I Make a Worker's Compensation Claim if I was Injured on My Way Home?
There is a common misconception that you can only file a worker's compensation claim if you were hurt while on site during work hours. You may be eligible for compensation, even if the injury happened while travelling to or from work or while away on a lunch break. These situations would fall under the "journey claims" category.
What is a Journey Claim?
Journey claims are filed when an injury happens while travelling to and from work or during a break. While this type of claim isn't usually covered, there are certain circumstances that may be eligible under the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 This act qualifies cases where:
An individual is travelling as part of their work-related duties.
An individual is travelling between home and their workplace
An individual is travelling between work and an educational institution as part of an apprenticeship or for other reasons approved by their employer.
These situations are just general guidelines. WorkCover will review all circumstances and evidence to determine if the connection can be made.
Have Journey Claims Been Won in the Past?
Yes, journey claims have been won in the past. The case QComp & John Kennerly v. Qantas Airways LTD involved a worker who suffered an injury after a motorcycle accident. He was traveling to a friend's house after work where he would be spending the night. The purpose of the stay was so that he could go to the airport in the morning to fly to Sydney to obtain a work visa. The friend's home was more convenient because it was closer to the airport. The court determined that the journey was work-related and that there was a strong enough connection to justify compensation.
Where Does Responsibility Begin and End?
It is important to note that journey claims have a defined boundary line when it comes to who is responsible. If you are injured inside your home or within the confines of your property, then the claim would not be eligible for worker's compensation. The journey must have begun, and you must be away from your home. An accident that happens in your garage or on your driveway would not be considered a journey claim.
How Do I Know if My Journey Claim is Eligible for Workers Compensation?
Journey claims can be difficult to prove. The best way to determine if you are eligible for workers compensation is to contact a professional for advice. Carew Lawyers is ready to review your case and provide recommendations on how to proceed. Get in touch today to talk to a legal expert.
